HILF 32 - Dooms Day with James Connolly

James Connolly is a stand-up comedian and former marine who attended Harvard. He and Dawn have a remarkably jovial time HILF-ing the history of Dooms Day. Because we have been predicting the End of the World for time immemorial, Dawn breaks it down into:

• The Faith-based Theories on the end of the world.
• The Science-based Theories
• The Great Take-Backs - Not only those very specific predictions through history (IE: Y2K, Mayan Calendar) but the stories of those who pin-pointed a specific date for the End, and then ventured second, third and even more guesses when existence stubbornly persists. (There are more than you think.)
