History Defeats Itself

Fast food is satisfying. It's delicious. It's cheap. It's easy. And it's one of the worst things we can put in our bodies. But we all do it...a lot.

The other 1/3 is super judgey about it and seems to enjoy telling the other 2/3 how much irreparable damage they've done to their bodies. But don't let that stop you from checking out the latest episode of History Defea...

Ghosts are everywhere. They're in your bedroom, in your car, in your plumbing, in your 2 stroke weed eater engine, in your hair, in your parent's sex dungeon, in your Skinny Cinnamon Dulce Latte, in your leftover Chinese food, in your sock drawer, in your podcast microphone, and in your elderly, racist cat.

It's probably safe to say that the majority of us take living in a democracy for granted. But most of us vote and the ones who don't still probably know they should.

The only way to know for sure is to listen....

Look, flat earthers are no different than you and I. Except that they believe that the earth is a disc, the moon landing was faked, no one's ever been in space, NASA doesn't really exist, Antarctica is a giant ice wall, the Earth and the sun are the same size, gravity doesn't exist, scientists are frauds, all space photography is faked, and that Elvis is alive and runs the NSA. Other than that the...

On this episode the crew discusses the human experience. Are we truly experiencing life or are we only living to post on our social media accounts? Are we more concerned with impressing people with where we've been than actually being in the moment? Is Kevin really a 75 year old man trapped in a 40...er...I mean...26 year old's body? There's only one way to find out. Join us for another episode of...
