The Manhattan Project was a government program developed by the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom during WW2 to research and build the first Weapon of Mass Destruction, The Atomic Bomb. To try and understand how man was able to harness the power of the atom, we're discussing how something so powerful could even be discovered and how that discovery was almost immediately weaponized.  J.

But that's not what you're here for, you are here to be entertained or mildly amused at least. Part 1 is gonna cover Best Movies, Best Shows,...

Manuel Antonio Noriega, the cunning and brutal in-all-but-name Dictator of Panama. Ol Noriega rose to power the old fashions way, he fucking spied and had dirt on everyone. This is a prime example of the old adage Knowledge is Power.

We're covering the Heysel Stadium Disaster, Hillsborough Disaster, and the Estadio Nacional disaster, each more devastating than the last. Regardless...

December 7th, 1941. There are certain moments in time, lynchpin moments I call them. Where an event causes the course of human history to change. There aren't a lot but this one I firmly believe qualifies. We're covering this thing from top to. bottom. What caused Japan to plan the attack? How did we get caught so off guard despite Pearl Harbor being the headquarters of the Navy's Pacific Fleet? H...

Welcome to our first annual Thanksgiving episode. Now sure we could talk about the first Thanksgiving and how the pilgrims and Native Americans sat down, broke bread and ate Turkey but let’s be honest, that story is probably horseshit. Instead we’re going to focus on the plight of our Indigenous brothers and sisters. Back in 1876 the U.S. Government (yes them again) sent the Army to forcibly move...

The Counter Intelligence Program or COINTELPRO was the 30 yr passion project of one J. Edgar Hoover. Who fucking hated everyone who even looked like they were having a good time or if you didn't like war...or racism....or opposed any of his views. He basically used the FBI as his personal tool to spy and incriminate those he didn't like. This program had dirt on Progressive Activists,  Politician,...

Pornography...even as I'm typing this out I'm thinking about how something that was once so taboo, so risqué, perverted, has become almost common place now. I mean it's everywhere. The thing you're looking at right now, your phone or computer, yeah that's like THE gateway to Porn. Well once upon a time porn was only in print and even then it was pretty mild....until a guy named Larry Flynt took it...

I mean the title of the episode is pretty self explanatory right? We're talking fictional heroes, those larger than life figures we used to pretend to be playing in the backyard or riding our bikes down the street.

When you become so powerful the King of France comes at you because he owes you money,...
