Monday Jul 08, 2024
Monday Jul 08, 2024
Throughout WWII, the same doodle with the same words started appearing everywhere on Allied bases. "Kilroy Was Here" accompanied by a sketch of a bald man peering over a wall. This tag was so ubiquitous, you couldn't be around the British or American military without seeing it scrawled into some equipment. In this episode, we explore the origins of the early meme and try to find out the identity of "Kilroy." Then we play the quiz with Comedian Glen Tickle!

Originally released August of 2022. On the isolated island community of Tangier, Virginia, the residents speak with a dialect that is entirely unique. It's part southern drawl, part "brogue," and some have claimed it's a relic dialect left over from the first English settlers to the area in the 1600s. But is that true? In this episode, we learn about the region, its dialect and the reason for this strange accent. Then we play the quick quiz with my wife Alison!

Rube Waddell: Major League’s Strangest Pitcher
Monday Jun 17, 2024
Monday Jun 17, 2024
In the late 1890s and early 1900s, Rube Waddell attracted crowds to his Major League Baseball games for several reasons. Firstly, he was one of the most dominant pitchers of the time. But perhaps the larger reason had to do with his incredibly eccentric behavior. He would run out of the stadium to chase fire trucks, leave the mound to play with puppies, call his whole infield to the sidelines while he struck out a batter and more. The stories never end with this unusual guy and we talk about his strange career in this week's episode. Then we chat with Magic Storyteller, Taylor Hughes.

The Zombies: A Real Song and a Fake Band
Monday Jun 03, 2024
Monday Jun 03, 2024
New Episode! In Spring of 1969, the song "Time of the Season" was being heard everywhere in the U.S. It nearly topped the Billboard Charts and had teenagers begging for a U.S. tour from The Zombies, the British band who recorded the song. The only problem was that the band had already broken up. So in 1969, a disingenuous promoter put together several FAKE versions of The Zombies and toured the U.S. with it. And you won't believe who some of those fake band members went on to become! In this week's episode, we tell the story of Rock n Roll Hall of Fame band, The Zombies, and then chat with Comedy Writer Jimmy Mak!
