    119. Ippei for Play

    Today, we sat down to discuss the Ippei Mizuraha and Shohei Ohtani sports betting story even further. With the release of the 37 page criminal complaint by IRS agent Chris Seymour, there is a lot to dig in to talk about. We also get into the sports betting scandal in the NBA that saw a lifetime ban handed down to Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter for his own meager-in-comparison sports betting scandal.

    118. The Congo Free State I: King Leopold's Dream

    118. The Congo Free State I: King Leopold's Dream

    This week, in part one of a new series, we discuss one of the greatest cons ever perpetrated in the modern age: The 19th century formation of the Congo ‘Free’ State under King Leopold of the Belgians. While in Europe Leopold was lauded as a progressive, modernist monarch, his legacy in Central Africa is one of brutality, suffering, and the wanton slaughter of millions; all in the singular pursuit of profit and financial gain. Buckle up, buckaroos. We’re in for a rough one.

Good but…

I’m concerned that they’re pushing a crypto-homo agenda

One for the Gumshoes and the Cranks

These boys leave no redacted file or newspaper clipping unread in their search for the real stories behind conspiracies and history’s weirdest events. Topics can range from the CIA’s mind control programs to the Opium Wars to the search for Bigfoot.
