The episode isn't really about RJD. We just love him. We talked about him a little, though. We also discussed accused English serial killer Lucy Letby and the scandalous recent New Yorker article which highlights inconsistencies with her case, updates on the ongoing genocide in Palestine, American supremacy in the world of heavy music, Evan's inconsiderate upstairs neighbors, and much MUCH more!

This week, Cam has gone into the vaults to resurrect his read-through of the infamous 1970 fantasy novella The Eye of Argon. Now, at last, the entire story is here, with remixed audio, a blisteringly heroic soundtrack, and the...interesting conclusion of the epic tale, newly recorded for your listening pleasure! We hope you enjoy this raucous sword-and-sorcery romp as much as we have.

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.

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.
