What if you could travel through the annals of history, one day at a time? Join us on a riveting journey through the landscapes of the past, as we venture into August 8th. We trek through the shimmering sands of Salt Lake City's foundation by Brigham Young, climb the ivory towers of academia at Brigham Young University, sail along the tumultuous waves of the Mexican Revolution with Emiliano Zapeta, and hitch a ride on the adrenaline-infused Great Train Robbery of 1963. But that's not all; we take a sobering pause at Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal resignation and stare into the abyss with Shelly Nadek, the serial killer and mother.
Ever wondered how it feels to lose your hat, slides and earbud on a roller coaster ride? Or perhaps you've pondered the unique challenges of handling an ex-girlfriend from a different state? Come, share a laugh with us about these personal experiences, and more. We'll tell you all about the Manatee named Hugh's hilariously unfortunate incident at the Florida Aquarium and the comedic gold in my first ever joke that earned a C-plus. It's not all fun and games, though. We'll also delve into grittier stories of an escaped inmate recaptured in Florida after five years, and the chilling tale of Clinton Collins who stabbed his victim with a flagpole.
As we wind down, we'll ponder with you the intriguing facets of corporate ownership, and the dangers of letting companies own a significant part of a city or country. We'll share the tale of an 8-year-old boy in Bolivia, whose fascination with Spider-Man led him to let a black widow spider bite him. As we sign off, we'll leave you with a thought-provoking discussion on the potential of staying anonymous when requesting money, and the caution needed when providing it. So, fasten your seatbelts and join us for a ride through history, comedy, thrilling adventures, and deep reflection on our shared humanity.
