Prepare to be transported back to the infamous year of 79 AD, where the streets of Pompeii were bustling with Roman life at its peak. Ever wondered what they did for fun? Spoiler: it involves a lot of public baths and some surprisingly cheeky graffiti, with male genitalia being a popular art theme. We’ll walk you through the everyday routines of Pompeians, offering both historical insight and plenty of laughs along the way.

Next, we grapple with Mount Vesuvius’s catastrophic eruption—a natural disaster so intense, it’s like "The Floor is Lava" meets nature's microwave. Using accounts from Pliny the Younger, we paint a vivid and darkly humorous picture of the chaos, panic, and sheer absurdity that unfolded. With our signature blend of grim jokes and modern-day comparisons, you'll understand the bizarre idea of what hell might have looked like during this disaster.

Finally, we dive into the aftermath, exploring how Pompeii and Herculaneum were preserved under layers of ash and debris. We uncover the fascinating process of creating plaster casts from the voids left by decomposed bodies and clarify some common misconceptions. Thanks to modern technology, we can now peep into ancient lives with even more clarity, all while keeping things irreverently humorous. Tune in for a rollercoaster of insights, laughs, and a few macabre moments as we bring ancient Pompeii to life.

Oh look, another industrial accident. Lucky this led to some really good things! Unfortunately it took a lot of death. Like a lot. Look there's some jokes but this here is a dark one. That being said, hug a union leader (not a cop), and be grateful for functioning fire exits.

Welcome back, Skeleton Army! I We don't often support ship captains being murdered, but when we do, it's slave driving Captain Joseph White. How will his large fortune be inherited? Per Capita or Per Stirpes?

My money is on the one that rhymes with herpes.

!n this episode, we travel back to the eerie streets of Salem, Massachusetts in 1830 to recount the chilling murder of Captain Joseph White, a notorious shipmaster and slave trader. With a mix of dark humor and historical insight, we paint a vivid picture of a town grappling with its infamous past, including the witch trials, while uncovering the brutal details of Captain White's murder. His head bashed in and his body repeatedly stabbed, the grim scene sets the stage for a tale of greed, betrayal, and murder.

Listen in as we unravel the complex web of inheritance laws in Massachusetts, shedding light on the implications for Captain White's estate and his relationships, particularly with his niece Mary and her husband, Joseph Knapp Jr. We explore the chaotic aftermath of the murder, highlighting the town's lack of a proper police force and the formation of the amateur Committee of Vigilance. The connections between Salem's prominent families—the Whites, Knapps, and Crowning Shields—are scrutinized, revealing how financial ruin and personal vendettas played pivotal roles in this scandal.

As we journey through the trials and conspiracies surrounding Captain White's murder, you'll hear about the dramatic courtroom performances, media influence, and the eventual execution of Frank and J. Jr. Knapp. We touch upon literary references to the case in works by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe, illustrating how this notorious event was woven into the cultural fabric of the time. Wrapping up with some delirious banter and fun facts, this episode promises a blend of historical intrigue and humor that will keep you entertained and informed.
