Weer een aflevering van MF DOOM en een producer? Alsof dat erg is?! Dangermouse en MF DOOM Samengevoegd, letterlijk, zijn ze DangerDOOM. Dat is misschien niet een heel origineel naam, maar al het andere aan het album is wel origineel. Zo gaat het hele album om de cartoons van Adult Swim. Van de inspiratie van de lyrics, de personages tot aan de keuze van de samples. Adult Swim Het knappe hieraan is, dat het ondanks er super dik bovenop ligt, je prima naar het album kan luisteren zonder maar 1 keer naar een van de cartoons te kijken. Sterker nog, als je er niet van weet, ga je er gewoon vanuit dat het allemaal karakters zijn die DOOM zelf heeft verzonnen. Dus ga er goed voor zitten en check wat wij van dit album vinden, we hopen dat je ook zo van die album kunt genieten. Laat het ons weten! En herhaal; "I Am, Sofa King. We Todd Ed" De Blauwdruk Podcast De Blauwdruk Podcast wordt volledig gemaakt door Vincent van Koningsbruggen, Victor van der Ham en Tim Elenbaas.
After three EPs and a few viral videos, the world anxiously awaited a full length from Australia's Royel Otis. The Sydney duo comprised of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic delivered a debut well worth the hype with Pratts & Pain. Produced by esteemed indie mastermind Dan Carey (Fontaines D.C., Wet Leg, Foals), the feel-good, breezy album is indie pop perfection. With infectious hooks and smooth baselines, the 13-song collection is sonic sunshine.Watch Royel Otis perform stripped-down versions of “Sofa King” and “Til The Morning” live at WNXP's Sonic Cathedral here.

David Waldman counts down the days until… until the election, I guess. Liberal Thinking (‘m not sure what his friends call him, but I suspect there are some who call him “Lib”) tells us about the factors in Donald Trump's “sentencing”. Remember that debate that Donald Trump thought he was going to at Fox on September 4? Donald didn't find that debate, and the people who tuned in didn't find a town hall either. The New York Times thought that they attended a discussion on economics, and for some reason decided to pretend that they had, even though all reality indicated otherwise. Donald continues to battle reality at Arlington Cemetary. It turns out that breaking the rules breaks the rules, and not breaking the rules doesn't break the rules. The father of the Georgia school shooting suspect has also been arrested and charged. You know who would have preferred more stringent gun regulation? The Founding Fathers. Ace KITM Correspondent Rosalyn MacGregor tells us of the Michigan sheriff under investigation by the Bureau of Elections for using his department to host a Donald Trump campaign stop. Residents later attempted to scrub away the stain of White Supremist bigotry but will have a tougher time getting rid of that Donald Trump stench. Yes, Bethany Mandel is an obnoxious pest, but NE Ohioans know well her abrasive gadfly brother-in-law, Josh Mandel. Hell holds no surprises for anyone who attends one of their holiday meals. And yet, Josh wasn't Sofa King weird enough to beat JD Vance into the Ohio Senate, and Donald Trump's big fat… heart. Accelerationists like to pour gasoline on everything, figuratively and literally. They use the Telegram app to make plans with like-minded people.
JD Vance did what?!?! (or he didn't, who knows?). It's been a bad month for the MAGA crew, here's a breakdown.

Happy birthday! Welcome to the My Birthday KITM Special hosted by David Waldman and Greg Dworkin. David had a birthday yesterday and Greg had one a few years back but has since abstained. What's important, as always, is what they brought me today: It's a close race! But… is it really? There's a thin line between big wins for Harris and Trump, and since the fabulous Democratic National Convention, pundits are becoming less fearful of crossing the line over to Harris. Kamala's a boon for Never Trumpers. many of whom will be quite amusing for a few more months before becoming pains in the ass again. We will soon forget, or want to forget, figures such as Gary Cohn calling Donald Trump “shit for brains” … See? You have forgotten Gary Cohn and already confuse him with Mets announcer Gary Cohen, who is totally different... I think. We might get to forget screwballs like Curtis Yarvin, anti-democratic monarchist, and idol to Sofa King weird JD Vonce. Hey, but we still have to win the election. Kamala and Tim are up for it, this week mining the purple and blue veins of red Georgia. They will persevere through, and expect us to persevere through, upcoming presidential and vice-presidential debates. They even expect the Republicans to show up! That's a little much, considering Donald's more of an evader than a debater. The Gops don't even know who to send for the VP debate, after all, there's plenty of fish in the sea. JD, eyeliner smeared, sobs into his couch cushions, or motorboats them, who can tell? Don't worry, fact checkers will look into it.
David Waldman watched the DNC last night and might need some more time to recover from all his Democratic exuberance. Greg Dworkin though wasn't even winded making 5 appearances in a row on KITM, (but it was nice for us.) Greg is back, demure and mindful as always, but with new purpose and joy following the blockbuster Democratic National Convention. Rhode Island didn't bring the calamari this time, but Georgia brought Lil Jon, and maybe we didn't get Beyoncé, but we sure got Oprah. Best of all, Gops got Donald Trump, and we got Kamala Harris. As the NYT would say, Kamala got some good reviews, some bad, and now it's up to the voters, some with a clue, some without. There's now a chance that Trump might lose. That doesn't mean he's finished, unfortunately. JD Clampett-Vonce might be Sofa King weird, but he knows what he likes, and he likes Curtis Yarvin, and Yarvin would love to see democracy die. The company that sent fake Biden robocalls in New Hampshire has been fined $1million. The guy who orchestrated the calls is facing $6million in fines. The fork-bending straitjacket-escaping digital nomad artist who created the AI robocalls spent $1.
How was your weekend? David Waldman dropped a kid off at college last year, but he found his way home, so David spent his weekend taking him back, while Greg Dworkin was forced to tie down his Raft O' Stories before it floated away over the last few days of his local weather. A flood of joy will lift the attendees of the Democratic National Convention, where Dems will happily array themselves this week. It'll be fun, and factual! Donald Trump floods Truth Social with A.I. BS., and enough racism to overflow into X. Sofa King weird JD Vonce flooded MAGA specimen cups with… ewwww! Let's change the subject. How about that polling, huh? Is Washington's primary a harbinger of the election? Meanwhile, House Gops dropped their impeachment report on Biden, quickly pivoting over to Tim Walz before anyone could accuse them of wisdom. Tim Walz irritates MAGA by being white, male, a veteran and a football coach while refusing to be weird, corrupt, or own stocks. What does Team Trump plan to do in the face of all of these glad tidings? The same as they have always planned to do, destroy democracy. Trump has been moving to hijack the elections in Georgia now for years, by allowing locally planted election officials to stop the elections in their area, and thus the national election, based on a whim.
This week The Lonely Island and Seth talk about their digital short, Dear Sister!

It's Thursday, and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back and not weird as ever! Sofa King weird... J.D. Vonce (pronounced "shmuhk") and his beta buddies tried to impress Kamala Harris by pretending they were flying her plane when she was not looking. Donald Trump was going to let J.D. play the big weirdo for a few days but just couldn't stand it and had to get in front of cameras today to destroy his campaign personally. I didn't watch it. Did anyone ask Donald about flying with the Project 2025 leader in 2022? Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are unapologetically unweird. Tim Walz is your favorite high school teacher you sometimes wish was your dad. Kamala Harris is your other favorite after shutting down the troublemakers in the back of the classroom. Kamala's hecklers either want to impress Trump or their buddies. Either way, they are picking the wrong way to get what they want, whatever that is. Voters are so relieved to have a normal ticket to vote for. Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada have moved from lean Republican to toss-up. Meanwhile, Judge Tanya Chutkan has taken back the reins on Trump's Jan. 6 prosecution and is all about the giddy-up. Jenna Ellis is flipping in Arizona's fake elector's case, although she could flip a little more to take the "un" off of "Unindicted Co-Conspirator #1". Perhaps a few more flips will do the trick. This is why the world can't have nice things. A terrorist planned a suicide attack at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna.
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, “Deadpool and Wolverine” of the KITM Cinematic Universe, are paired up once again on our Wednesday show. It's Balz to the Walz for the next 90 days, and Tim Walz showed he has what it takes in his first campaign speech yesterday. Tim is the happy warrior Kamala wanted and we all need. Walz is not perfect, however. Tim Walz spent only 24 years in the armed services, from private to command sergeant major. In his 18 years of public service, Governor Walz never once reached a 100% approval rate. Republican operatives are salivating at the chance to talk hardcore policy with their MAGA voters. Josh Shapiro will not be running for VP, angering no one more than the Gops who do their opposition research on Stormfront. Now that the race is set, Donald Trump can clinch the vote by showing how really cool and hip and fun and not at all weird that he and MAGA truly are. For instance, did you know that Donald is Dennis Quaid's asshole? That would make J.D. Vonce (pronounced “puhts”) Dennis Quaid's taint, although you might guess otherwise based on how tightly J.D.'s been attached to Kamala recently. Vonce's texts with MAGA troll Charles C. Johnson show how both of them are Sofa King weird.
Two talented gents join us this week on a jam packed You Should Know Better!

On today's KITM, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, who always raise the bar for journalistic and punditary analysis and commentary, add sports talk to the mix! They discuss the Paris Olympics, where the margin of victory can be measured by thousandths of a second or a few white blood cells. Kamala Harris has chosen the running mate that you will love unless you're some kind of weirdo, of course. Most of those are over there, but we still have a few. You are guaranteed that more people will be happy with the Democratic VP over J.D. Vance, who is just Sofa King weird. Then there's RFK Jr. weird. Find a dead baby bear, take selfies with the corpse, decide to eat it, but drive it to NYC to stage its death in an accident, weird. That guy ain't normal, but Bob's not Trump MAGA weird. That requires an extra scoop of psychopathic treason and a sidecar of nihilistic greed. Isn't it nice that we have Kamala Harris? Swing states think so. Latinos agree. The hospitality workers union is right there with them. Russian disinformation disguised as American news is fomenting riots in the UK as a rehearsal for the US post-election.

That being said, these stories were random as all hell but also fun as all hell and I blame all of that on Sofa King - he's just that kinda guy.

Well, not the EXACT same, but you get my point. Buckle in - we're going places. Are they fun places? Not really. They're dangerous and weird. But we're INTO that. RIGHT?

Royel Otis (Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic) join us for a special performance and interview with Kevan Kenney from KROQ's Helpful Honda Sound Space in Los Angeles as the Australian Alt-Pop duo gets set to drop their debut studio album, Pratts & Pain, scheduled for release on February 16. After forming in Sydney in 2019, Royel Otis have three official EP's under their collective belts (2021's Campus, 2022's Bar & Grill, and 2023's Sofa Kings) as they're steadily ramping up anticipation for the release of their full-length debut, Pratts & Pain, in just a few short weeks. Already on the minds of music fans following the release of their 2023 single “Sofa King,” it was their recent cover of “Murder on the Dance Floor” that has gone nuclear right at the moment. The fan reaction has been “crazy,” they both admit. “We rehearsed it one day before we started doing it,” says Pavolic. “Yeah, we had about an hour to get it done and then well, that's what happens,” adds Maddell. They had a few ideas in mind for the session, including the classic, “Build Me Up Buttercup.” “We were just running through ideas, pretty stressed out,” Royel admits, “ and then someone was like, ‘just try ‘Murder on the Dance Floor,' and we were like, ‘give it a crack,' and then it worked out.” Flipping the script, if the guys could pick a contemporary artist to cover their single }Sofa King,” Maddell chooses fellow Aussies DMA'S... “I reckon they'll do it, however expanding the pool of artists to those who have already passed, Sinéad O'Connor was first to be mentioned. Discussing their hit single, they explained how it came about as a demo that Royel had, being good friends with the DMA'S guys who were starting to take off. “I was like, ‘I'm gonna take advantage of my friends, capitalize on it,' and I was like, ‘Try to write a song that I thought would suit them. And then I was like, ‘no, it's better for me.' Then Otis and I started doing music, and I was like, ‘it's actually better for Otis.' Royel Otis is currently on the road in New Zealand and Australia, with plans to hit North American cities beginning in April supported by Girl and Girl.

On this Classic episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we climb the Mount Everest of podcast topics to look for the tales and truths behind the Yeti. The Yeti, the Abominable Snowman, the Mi-Go, the Yeren; these are all apparently the same creature: a humanoid beast with feet like a man (smaller than a “Bigfoot”) who has been seen in the Himalayan mountains for centuries. Their gods and mythology tie back to this creature, and sightings and folk lore amount local Sherpas are vibrant and updated. So why should anyone care about a mythological beast called a Yeti? Well, for one thing, a lot of pretty high rolling explorers saw them, claimed to saw them, or brought back evidence of them. Sir Edmund Hillary went on multiple expeditions to find this creature and even brought back evidence. Over the past hundred years, public calls have gone out to find proof. From oil millionaire Tom Slick to a British newspaper and even Oxford University, they all sent people or paid for evidence surrounding this. The Chinese government even has an official department that is dedicated to looking for the Wild Man of China. So, with all of this research and folklore, what has been found? Well, a lot of tracks that either come from bears or can't be identified. DNA that often matches mountain creatures but sometimes comes back as a mystery. Sometimes, it even came back as prehistoric bears from the Pleistocene era. What is the difference between a Bigfoot and a Yeti? Why is a Yeti considered to be more dangerous? Why did the actor Jimmy Stewart help smuggle a Yeti hand out of Tibet and into London? Listen, laugh, learn. Jimmy Steward, Relic Hunter: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/saga-of-the-yeti-hand
On this Classic episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the self-improvement mogul, Tony Robbins. He's the six foot seven inch motivational speaker who is worth $480 million dollars and holds seminars that cost between two and eight thousand dollars. Tony Robbins was born Anthony J. Mahavoric on February 29, 1960. His father left them, and his mother was abusive to point of chasing him around the house with a kitchen knife, so at age 17, he set out on his own and was such an amazing salesperson that he was in his own apartment and living a better life than he did with his mom in a matter of months. Robbins was an amazingly driven teen, becoming a sports writer by sheer force of will and quickly becoming a top salesperson for another motivational speaker. By the time he was an adult, he had studied psychology and hypnotism (never formally educated), and he started his own motivational industry. His companies are now worth over $5 billion, and he was the king of the late night infomercial during the 1990s. So what makes Tony Robbins worthy of discussion? We set out on our research to talk about this guy who we all thought was the ultimate scam artist, taking the savings of retirees and scamming them with bad real estate investments. But that doesn't seem to be the case at all. We honestly ruled him to be a passionate and compassionate man, driven by helping the lives of others more than driven by his wealth (though it astounding). How did the documentary called I Am Not Your Guru change our minds? How do you know he didn't hypnotize us? How did he get Oprah Winfrey to walk across hot coals? What does he do to get a woman to break up with her boyfriend in front of 2500 people? Listen, laugh, learn.

Sofa King is hungry, he's just beggin for today's pasta and we're going to give it to him in a VERSUS amount of doses. First, we read some NOSLEEP, then we read some UNSETTLING STORIES.

Daves not here man .... This episode of the Sofa King Podcast is a discussion of the brutal regime of the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. Born Josef Vissarionovich Djugashvili in December of 1878, he changed his name to Koba (a sort of Russian Robin Hood) and eventually settled on the new name of Stalin which meant “Man of Steel.” He was born to ordinary parents, but had a series of health complications as a child and a strange relationship with his mother, who wanted him to become a priest. If you've listened to our other podcasts about cult leaders, serial killers, and madmen, this childhood is the perfect recipe! Eventually, he went to the seminary study religion, but he ended up stopping. Some say he quit, others that he was expelled for lack of tuition, and some that he was booted for starting to join the early days of the Russian Revolution. Either way, he became an influential member of the early revolution, and he started leading guerrilla attacks and even famously robbed a bank to help fund the cause. Once Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin headed the revolution that brought down the Russian Empire and started the Soviet Union, Stalin's true colors started to show. He slowly consolidated a power-base of loyal people around him in government, so that when Lenin died, he was able to take power over the newly-formed nation. From here, he started his history of purges and death to his own people. He eliminated all political resistance via firing squads, gulags, and forced deportation, and he ruled the USSR with an iron grasp. He restructured the nation to be an industrial powerhouse instead of a farming-based economy, a decision which caused the greatest man-made famine in the history of humanity (thought to have killed between 7-10 million Ukrainians, Russians, and Soviets). How did so many Soviets starve to death while the country still made a profit selling foodstuffs to other nations? How many Soviets was Stalin responsible for killing? Was his death caused by natural causes, or was it an assassination? Was he a hero or one of the worst villains in history? Listen, laugh, learn.
Daves not here man .... When he is we will be back =) On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we throw on our protective tinfoil headgear and step into a Faraday cage to talk about the famous Phoenix Lights. First witnessed on Thursday, March 13, 1997, the Phoenix Lights have been a topic of discussion among friends, colleagues, and strangers alike. Seen above the night skies of Arizona, the two events were witnessed and recorded by a number of people and while some settled for the delayed government explanation of just being flares dropped from an A-10 Warthog aircraft, others have maintained the argument that flares don't move across and over great distances without falling from the sky and leaving a trail of smoke above them. But if they weren't flares, what were they? And why did they show up again in later years? Join us as we take a closer look to figure out if they were secret experimental government aircraft, natural swamp gasses above the desert, Power Rangers come to save us, or perhaps actual extraterrestrial UFOs from another race and place still unknown to humankind.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the little-known secret of “closed towns,” most notably Russia's City 40. City 40 was the old code name for what is now known as Ozersk. This is the birthplace of the Soviet Nuclear weapons program after the end WWII, and to this day, nobody is allowed into the city except its citizens. There are an estimated 100,000 people living in City 40 today, and it is the hub of Russian nuclear technology. A documentary called City 40 (directed by Samira Goetschel) was filmed by a crew who were illegally smuggled into the city by residents who wanted their story to be told. This is one of the major sources of information about Ozersk since the Russian military still keeps the place on lock down for reasons of state security. So what goes on in City 40? Well, originally, it was the home of the Mayak Nuclear Facility, a place built by forced prison labor. This plant produced the majority of the nuclear material for early Soviet Bombs, and now it refines nuclear materials from submarines and military purposes and repurposes them for medical and space exploration. As one would expect, this factory has not been without its environmental problems. For one thing, they dumped their nuclear waste in nearby lakes. A lot of it. I mean, like, tons of it. The lakes are considered by some to be the worst ecological region on the planet. This is a major problem for obvious reasons, but also because one of the lakes was drained, and the sand from the lake bed caused a nuclear dust storm! City 40 was also home to what was known as the Kyshtym disaster in September 29, 1957, when an underground container of liquid radioactive waste exploded. This created a 100 km long radioactive cloud. 23 Villages had to be destroyed and 10,000 evacuated. This explosion is pretty obscure to history, but it is said to have exposed over 500,000 people to five times more nuclear radiation than Chernobyl did in 1986. So, how does a city of 100,000 people remain closed to the public in today's age? When are people allowed to leave, and who is allowed to come in? Why would people stay in a city that is filled with radiation and has one of the highest cancer rates on earth? How are the citizens of City 40 treated by the government? How many spies are in this town? What happened to the people in the documentary after it released? Listen, laugh, learn.

This is one of the largest public government retractions and alleged cover-ups that exist in the realm of conspiracy theory. The actual facts are that a press release came out from the US Air Force on July 8, 1947, claiming a “flying saucer” crashed thirty miles outside of Roswell. Then, on July 9, the Air Force changed their story and infamously said it was a weather balloon. The story pretty much died down from there until 1978 when UFOlogist and author, Stanton Fieldman, reopened the case and gave it national attention. So what really happened on the sheep ranch outside of Roswell? Was it as the first witness William “Mac” Brazel claimed with his simple description of a debris field? Was it what the later alleged witnesses claimed—wild stories of metal with memory, substances that couldn't be broken or burned, and a mysterious light-weight I-Beam that had purple unidentified glyphs scrawled on it? Why did the Air force change their story? What is Project Mogul, and why might the Air Force have made up a story of alien craft just to cover up this real-world project? And what about the supposed mangled alien bodies pulled from the wreckage or the threatening Men In Black? Well, I guess you'll just have to listen to find out.
Dave has family in from out of town this week. Our apologies for the delay of episode 666, but here is a classic to hold you over. Thank you for always cutting us some slack and Spicy Brown thanks you as well. On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we look at the truly gonzo life of the one and only Hunter S Thompson. Thompson was a journalist who became famous for his crazed drug-fueled antics and anti-authority stance. Born in Louisville, Kentucky to a middle class family, his father died while he was a teenager, and his mother was left very poor and became an alcoholic. During this time, Thompson started writing, and he had such a skill for it, he was allowed to join an elite writing group normally left for the wealthy. He also fell in with a bad crowd and started experimenting with drugs and started committing crimes ranging from shoplifting to vandalism to robbery. The robbery landed him in jail, and the judge said he could go to prison or join the military. Thompson decided on the Air Force. He career there was short, and he was discharged in two years for lack of discipline and subordinating other airmen. Once out, he began his career as a journalist, working as a copy boy for Time Magazine. Eventually, he started to get stories to cover, and he landed a big one in 1965 when The Nation hired him to do a story on the Hell's Angels. Hunter S. Thompson ended up spending a year on the road with the motorcycle club, documenting their lifestyle in his unique literary style. The resulting book was a smash hit, and it gave him enough money to buy his compound called Owl Creek and opened up the door to an impressive (if not unorthodox) career as a journalist. His next big piece was an article called “The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved," which was where the term Gonzo Journalism got coined. The story was less about the race and more about Thompson's personal time spent at the race. It led to his next huge success, which was when Sports Illustrated sent him to cover the Mint 400 race in Las Vegas. This lead to his masterpiece, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Hunter S Thompson covered everything from Richard Nixon to his own race to be sheriff of Aspen, Colorado. He even got stranded in Vietnam during the evacuation of Saigon! His stories are wild and varied and pretty hard to believe. What happened when he went to Zaire to cover the Foreman/Ali fight? What was his political platform when he ran for office? What did a typical day of drug use look like for him? Why did he kill himself at the end, and what strange things happened at his funeral? Listen, laugh, learn.

Daves not here man ... Classic This episode peels back the lid on the very popular conspiracy theory involving the use of fluoride in municipal drinking water. The common conspiracy theories get pretty crazy and talk about Communist plots and argue that Nazis used sodium fluoride to keep prisoners of war and concentration camp victims docile. We talk about those theories and whether they have been debunked or not, but we also look at more credible historical and scientific facts. One fact is that fluoride is a byproduct of enriching uranium and making aluminum, and it is a highly corrosive and toxic substance in concentration. Evidence obviously indicates that in very, very small amounts it helps prevent tooth decay. But in moderate to large amounts, it is a poison. (So much so that just after 9/11 the NSA expressed concern about terrorists hijacking unprotected fluoride trucks and using them to poison entire towns). How much is too much fluoride? How much is in the water you drink? How can you filter it out of your water, and what bottled water can you buy to avoid it? Is it even a big deal? Good questions. We answer those and cover everything from calcified pineal glands to mind control on this one, while we did deep into the concerns about fluoride. Most Western nations refuse to use it in their water supply for fear of over-saturation, and even the EPA in the US has recently lowered the levels it allows in drinking water due to nationwide cases of dental fluorosis. Do we only drink it because nobody has a means to dispose of this potentially toxic chemical? Do the health benefits outweigh the risks? Does it even really help our teeth when we drink it? We cover all this ground and much more. This one will make you want to wear a tinfoil hat and also realize that fluoride is a byproduct of your tin foil hat!
Daves not here man..... On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we look at a guy who may be the worst Brit to ever live, Jimmy Savile. Jimmy Savile was a media personality and radio host (think Ryan Seacrest or Dick Clark in the States). He had a hit-maker radio and tv show that every musician wanted to be on. He also had a BBC television series that made the dream of ill children come true. He was knighted by the Queen of England and the Pope. That all sounds pretty awesome, right? Well, he was also a serial rapist, pedophile, and necropheliac. A year after he died in 2011, over 500 victims came forward to discuss their trauma. They ranged from 5 to 75 years old at the time of the crime. Most of them were physically or mentally ill at the time of the abuse. There were dozens of rapes. Oh, and most people think none of this ever came to light because of a cover up that may have gone as high up as the Prime Minister or the Royal family, both of whom he was close to. So how did a crappy meta-celebrity become such a monster and mega rapist? It was his “charity work.” He would hold fund raisers and give money—millions of pounds—to hospitals, children's schools, and mental hospitals. This would ingratiate Jimmy Savile with the board of directors and give him access to the hospital at all hours as a major donor. Then, he would rape, fondle, and abuse patients, relatives of patients, and everyone he could get his hands on. He'd feel up people hours after major surgery and rape people who were too mentally ill to know any better. He'd also sneak into the morgue and give oral sex to dead bodies (something called gamaroosh…see, you learn something new every day) and pose them in sexual acts to take photos with them. And steal their glass eyes. And then, he'd brag about it to the hospital staff. How this sicko got away with such a range of heinous crimes for 50 years is hard to imagine, unless, of course, it was being covered up for him. So, was Jimmy Savile part of an international sex trafficking scheme as many people allege? Was he a lone shooter? Was he just the luckiest rapist in the UK, or did he go out of his way to hide the truth? Why did the BBC bury the story of Jimmy Savile's sexual assault after he died? How many times were the police tipped off over the years? Who was Clair McAlpine, and how did her suicide almost bring him down in the 1970s? Listen, laugh, learn as we talk about someone who couldn't have died soon enough. Sex Timeline: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/jun/26/jimmy-savile-sexual-abuse-timeline
This episode of The Sofa King Podcast is Part One of our discussion on the life, politics, policies, and death of the amazing John Fitzgerald Kennedy. JFK was one of the most beloved president of the United States, and his administration was often considered to be the “Golden Age” of America that many people called Camelot. Kennedy was the son of a wealthy business man who had alleged ties to the mob and illegal alcohol-running during prohibition. His legitimate businesses, however, set the Kennedy family up for a life of prosperity and prestige. JFJ, also known as Jack, was a sickly child and had chronic back problems through his life. He also was a screw-up at school, more interested in pranks and flirting than his formal education. All that changed, however, when he was at Harvard, and he wrote a book called Why England Slept which explored why Great Britain was unprepared for the Nazis. He used his family's connections to let him join the Navy (something he couldn't have done because of his back condition), and he became a war hero, saving members of his crew in pretty amazing ways in the battle of the Pacific on his boat PT-109. After the war, he married Jackie Bouvier and served time in both the House of Representatives and the Senate before finally becoming president in 1960. While president, he did pretty amazing things, helping the poor, creating the Peace Corps, and even writing the Civil Rights Act. However, he also tried to have Fidel Castro overturned by the CIA's failed Bay of Pigs invasion, heated up the cold war, and dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Aside from his policies and the crazy era of his presidency, Jack was also known for having affairs with women. From white house employees to Marilyn Monroe and even Judith Campbell Exner (who was the mistress of Sam Giancana, the mob boss for The Chicago Outfit), he slept around. So, if you want to know about JFK, his affairs, his decision, why he was a war hero, and who he upset over the years (and possibly pushed to assassinate him), give this one a listen. Stay tuned for part two, where we talk about his assassination and the theories surrounding it. Thanks to our special guest Doctor Randal Beeman.
On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we explore one of the bloodiest chapters in the history of New England, the Salem Witch Trials. The Salem Witch Trials are a complex phenomenon that coupled puritanical fanaticism with fear of not only the devil, but life in the new world. The laws that led to the persecution of witches in New England date back to 1484, when Pope Innocent VIII wrote a papal bull called Summis Desiderantes Affectibus (Latin for “Desiring with supreme ardor”). This proclamation said that witches were real and were servants of the devil, and from there, witch-hunting mania was born. A few years later, The Malleus Maleficarum (aka “The Hammer of Witches”) was written by the Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer (and possibly a partner, the Dominican Friar Jacob Sprenger). Sprenger and Kramer were both given power by the pope to hunt and kill anyone they deemed a witch. While this sounds like the stuff of really cool video games, it more like rampant sexism and murdering women who didn't adhere to norms of society. This backdrop of persecution for witches (especially female ones) is what the people living in Salem Village grew up in, back in 1692. At this time, 9-year-old Elizabeth Parris and 11-year-old Abigail Williams (the daughter and niece of Salem Village's minister, Samuel Parris) started having “fits,” which included violent screaming outbursts and physical contortions of the body. Paranoia spread very rapidly, and eventually, three people were arrested as witches—a slave, an old person, and a homeless beggar. The slave, Tituba, confessed to being a witch and signing “the black man's book,” and the witch paranoia spread. So, how many people were eventually arrested for witches? How many were killed? What methods did they use to kill them? What made the witch mania stop? Why did it get so bad in Salem Village? What brought the Salem Witch Trials to a close, and how did it involve two key literary figures and a political scandal? Listen, laugh, learn.
On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we discuss the wild career of the most famous pirate in history, Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard. Teach was thought to have been born in Britain but moved to Jamaica as a child. From there, he became a privateer (a pirate who worked for England) through Queen Anne's War. After that, he used his naval skills to become one of the wildest pirates ever to set foot in the Caribbean. Teach was recruited after the war by a pirate named Captain Benjamin Hornigold, and in a very short time, he was promoted to run his own ship in this pirate fleet. Blackbeard earned his stripes and his nickname under Hornigold, and when the senior pirate retired from the life, Blackbeard was left in charge of the ships. He ran his new fleet based on fear of his growing reputation—he even lit his hair on fire before battle to look more fearsome. From there, Blackbeard went on to capture and recruit several ships, adding to his flotilla's strength. One man, Stede Bonnet (The Gentleman Pirate) was convinced to join instead of run his plantations. Together, they accomplished one of the great feats of pirate history and took a full frigate and flagship from France. They renamed it Queen Anne's Revenge, armed with 250 men including ex-slaves, and loaded 40 cannons on it. From that ship, Blackbeard ran a two year terror campaign, capturing over 30 ships and being a general scourge of civilized society. Unlike the typical stereotype of a pirate only being in remote waters, Blackbeard spent much of his time sacking the east coast the United States. He once famously held an entire town captive for a prolonged period of time until he could get the mayor to give his fleet medicine he needed (to cure an STD?). The story of Blackbeard is a story of allies turned enemy, cunning piracy, amazing naval tactics, and stunning victories. He died in battle, and the details of his death prove he was the badass that his reputation said he was. Listen, laugh, learn.
Mind Control, influence, and propaganda are the focus of this episode of the Sofa King Podcast. We talk about how governments and corporations try to make us loyal to their product/country using techniques that date back well before World War II. Derren Brown, the British mentalist and psychological manipulator is a prime example that we talk about. And of course, what Sofa King episode would be complete without a conspiracy? This episode's is the CIA program from the 1950s-1970s known as MK Ultra. What was MK Ultra, and how did the maniuplate us? Tune in and find out. Some of our key topics this episode are mind control, propaganda, advertising, MK Ultra, the CIA, Derren Brown, mentalism, the propaganda/public relations master Edward Bernays, and the documentary film maker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and her work documenting the Taliban.
On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we hit you with a crazy recipe—take one part cryptid and one part UFO encounter, bake in the Kentucky summer, and you get the Hopkinsville Goblins. The case of the Hopkinsville Goblins is one of the most important in all of UFOlogy because it establishes the details that a great many UFO cases follow for years after. It is, in fact, the genesis of the term “little green men,” even though the Goblins weren't thought to be green. So, what exactly happened in Hopkinsville that is still studied to this day? Back in August of 1955, two families were staying in a small, homemade house in the woods of Kentucky. There were a total of 11 of them (5 adults, 4 children, and 2 carnies) at the house when things went sideways. One member of the house went outside to draw some water from the pump and saw what he called a flying saucer that showed every color in the rainbow. He told everyone this, and they dismissed it as a shooting star. (A highway patrol officer reported similar lights in the sky a few hours later, unbeknownst to each other). About an hour after, everyone heard noises outside and went to investigate. Since the dog was freaking out, they took their guns and saw the Goblins. They were allegedly about 2 or 3 feet tall with large glowing eyes. They had atrophied legs but buffed upper bodies, and they walked with a strange gait that looked as if they were underwater (and some witnesses said they were floating off the ground). The two men fired at the first Goblin, hit it dead center, and reported a sound like a bullet striking metal. The Goblin fell back and retreated into the woods, and this was the start of a four hour campaign of fear and bullets. The Goblins started to claw at the roof and pop up into windows and scratch at the door. The families fired over 100 rounds at them and eventually packed it up headed into town to get the police. The cops had heard tell of the fire fight, so they weren't taking any chances. A total of 16 officers from three police and military unit went to investigate. They confirmed in all 16 of their reports that the house was damaged as if something was trying to get in. The police also heard strange things in the trees and saw the weird lights. Eventually, the cops left, and about 45 minutes later, the Goblins were back to terrorize some more. The families left for the night, and it all hit the media. The next day, they gave their one and only interview to a local radio host, and they described the creatures. This is an odd case because it predates UFO hysteria, and the witnesses stood nothing to gain. They hated the attention it brought them and after later investigations were conducted, their story turned out to be one of the most consistent in UFO/Cryptid lore. So, what were these Goblins? Were they a great horned owl as many suggested? Was it a circus monkey painted silver (yes, that's a theory). Were they all tripping balls on some chemical or drug? What connections do these creatures potentially have to the Mothman? Listen, laugh, learn.

In this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we look back in time and talk about the little-known but awesome Christmas mutiny at West Point Military Academy known as the Eggnog Riots. On Christmas Eve back in 1826, roughly 90 students at this military school got loaded on spiked eggnog and caused problems. Major problems. They tore up buildings, threatened lives, shot guns at people, and even hit people with logs! What lead to this gross dereliction of military decorum? You might say whiskey (and you'd be right), but there were other ingredients as well. To begin with, West Point was a ramshackle school that let anyone in, and after a bad couple of wars, Congress funded it to become the bastion of officer training it is today. The man who did this was Sylvanus Thayer. Aside from being considered the father of West Point (and sounding very much like someone who would battle Harry Potter), he was also a harsh disciplinarian. He created draconic rules that included a zero tolerance no-alcohol and tobacco policy, and he whipped the cadets into shape by giving them virtually no freedoms. They couldn't leave campus; they couldn't cook food. And did I mention that they couldn't drink? So, the year of his liquor ban, the cadets decided to have a wee party, and they paid a sentinel to look the other way while they crept across the Hudson River and bought some whiskey. Five gallons or so. On Xmas eve, they started drinking their heavily spiked Eggnog, and the Eggnog Riots were born. Much of the mayhem involves a military history instructor who kept creeping in on the parties to break them up. He arrested Jefferson Davis (yes, the guy who went on to become the president of the Confederacy), and we talk about Davis' drunken youth quite a bit. After a lot of whiskey-fueled dickery, the professor finally started to break up the party in earnest, and the cadets decided to arm themselves with blades and pistols and kill him for ruining their fun (like you do). And the Eggnog Riots were off and running. What happened next in the Eggnog Riot was a night of madness. They hit another officer with a log and left him unconscious in a stair well; they ran around brandishing swords and pistols. They smashed windows, tore about the dorm, and readied themselves for war against the Army soldiers they thought were coming. So, how did the participants in the Eggnog Riots try to kill the professor and what went wrong in the attempt? What kept Jefferson Davis from getting court-martialed? How many students ended up getting arrested? Why did they tear down the dorm that hosted the party, and how was the new dorm designed so this would never happened again? Listen, laugh, learn.

On this episode, we explore the Branch Davidians, their leader, David Koresh, and the deadly siege at Waco, Texas. This was one of the biggest conspiracies of the 1990s, and the story is full of bizarre and exciting twists. The Davidians started in the 1930s and grew to be an apocalyptic cult that preached that the world's government was run by the devil and that the Davidians would all die as soldiers against the devil's government soldiers in a storm of fire. They got most of that right, as it turns out. When Koresh took over in 1983, the power struggle involved an attempt to exhume a corpse and resurrect it. You read that right… After a box of hand grenades was discovered by a delivery driver, a 51 day siege of the compound known as Mt. Carmel started. First the ATF attempted to arrest Koresh and serve a search warrant, but it ended in a deadly gunfight. We discuss this and the details of the 51 day siege, looking closely at what the Davidians did wrong and what the FBI did wrong. The siege culminated in a prolonged gunfight, a day-long assault of tear gas, and the compound burning to the ground with an estimated 80 Davidians (over 20 children) still inside. Who started the fire? Was it the cult members or the FBI? What lies did the FBI tell congress and Janet Reno (there were plenty). Where did President Clinton and Hillary Clinton come in? Did Delta Force secretly kill all the people on the compound? This story is a strange one, and the debate gets rather heated this time around. You won't want to miss it. Thanks to listener Stephen Thunderdome for the topic suggestion of cults and cult leaders!
