  • 145. Charles Melville Hays, Railroad King
    Mar 5 2025

    Get ready for a good, solid dose of American industrialism! In Canada. That's right, on the advice of J.P. Morgan, Charles Melville Hays is going to bring American grit to the Canadian railway, and how do you think that'll work out for the 51st state?

    This is the story of Charles Melville Hays, Railroad King. Come for the ghost, stay for teeny tiny knuckle workout, the most Midwestern person, the last days of Blockbuster, moose harvest, pool skimmers, the whole deal with the Titanic, and ghosts have no friction.

  • 144. The Great Saltair
    Feb 26 2025

    The Great Salt Lake does not have any whales. We want to be clear about that. We DO take a departure here and talk about whales for a surprisingly long time, but please understand that we realize that there are no whales in the Great Salt Lake. Allegedly.

    This is the story of the Great Saltair. Come for the ghosts, stay for a race to the spike, D-coin, I’ll keep adding wives until I love myself, I’m eating nine ice creams, normies love salt, they’re a minor whale, Coney Island with half the condoms, and EDM with Mormons.

  • 143. Mercy Brown, Vampire Ghost
    Feb 19 2025

    It's time to talk about Mercy Brown, not to be confused with Murphy Brown. One is a fesity single mother who endeared herself to us by shaking up the workplace in the '80s, and the other is a vampire. So try to keep them straight.

    This is the story of Mercy Brown. Come for the ghost, stay for Prince would hate that, they called it a curse and in some ways it is, snort it, you fool!, thicken up them walls, two is fine; four is greedy, we have a pool going, oh no did he catch it again?, and just let them take off your head.
