Step into the shadowed world of General Tomoyuki Yamashita, the notorious Tiger of Malaya, and brace yourself for a rollercoaster of a tale that takes us through conquests, brutalities, and tales of unimaginable treasures. Imagine buried secrets, tunnels, and a stash of gold and gems so vast, it defies the imagination. Welcome to the saga of Yamashita's Gold - a tale that wends its way from the ruthless military conquests of the Japanese General, through a labyrinth of 'Golden Lily' tunnels built by enslaved POWs, to the chilling fate that befell these human tools of excavation.
Have you ever wondered about the truth behind rumors of hidden treasures and secret stashes? Our discussion takes a riveting turn as we explore the tantalizing rumors surrounding a Filipino soldier's discovery of a chamber teeming with gold bars and an enormous golden Buddha. We navigate through a web of speculation, scandal, and conspiracy - drawing connections to former Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda, and even tying in the US government's clandestine operations against communism. The threads don't end there; we also touch upon the fascinating practice of soldiers pocketing war mementos as grim yet poignant reminders of battlefields left behind.
As we conclude this riveting tale, we plunge headlong into the storm of controversies brewing around the Marcos family wealth and the cryptic events that followed Yamashita's demise. We analyze potential legal battles involving the estate of the late Philippine President, the Philippine government's alleged involvement, and a whirlwind of theories surrounding the existence of secret Nazi stashes. The enigma of Yamashita's Gold is a thrilling blend of history, legends, and intriguing mysteries. So, buckle up for a journey that promises to be as enthralling as it is haunting.

Native American Folklore: The Thunderbird
I Tell Stories
06/11/23 • 26 min
What if there was a supernatural creature that not only protected people from evil spirits but also disciplined those who lacked morals? Dive into the world of the Thunderbird in this captivating episode, where we explore the rich mythology and stories surrounding this powerful entity that is present in many North American indigenous cultures, such as the Ojibwe and Menominee tribes. We'll also share a fascinating tale of how the Thunderbird once came to the aid of a struggling community.
We continue our journey with a gripping legend of a boy who, upon seeing a dead whale on the beach, tries to tell his Tribal elder that it could be a sign of a Thunderbird. Discover how the elder's dismissive attitude leads to deadly consequences and how the boy, later in life, gets a second chance to encounter the awe-inspiring Thunderbird. But unlike in most stories, the Thunderbird teaches us a valuable lesson - it does not care if we live or die.
Finally, we discuss the cultural significance of the Thunderbird, its connection to weather patterns, and the tattoos it has inspired. Delve into the stories of its power to ward off Reptilian monsters and how it is still respected in modern times. We also touch on parallels between various indigenous cultures and the Thunderbird, and how a tattoo designed by Stephanie Big Eagle became a symbol of solidarity and resistance against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Don't miss this thought-provoking and fascinating episode!

Ever wondered if Santa runs a tight ship up at the North Pole, or if it's all just a bit of holiday hocus-pocus? Buckle up, as we take you on a wild sleigh ride through Christmas lore and real-life Yuletide happenings that are sure to drop your jaw faster than a lump of coal in a naughty kid's stocking. We're spilling the mince pies on everything from a satirical poke at Santa's 'sweatshop,' to the heartwarming Christmas Truce of WWI, and even the darkly historical events that have shared this date.
Switch gears with us as we sail the high seas with pirates who might have hung their stockings with care, and laugh along as we unravel the Festivus feats of strength. Then, join our chorus of Christmas tunes—yes, we'll reveal our holiday playlist with a nod to Rass Kass’ not-so-traditional carols. Dive into Iceland’s Yule Lads folklore, where the mischievousness makes coal seem like a welcome treat, and let's not forget our northern neighbors—apologies in advance, Canada, for our Boxing Day banter.
As the snow settles, we're not just talking tinsel and gift wrap; we're questioning the very essence of New Year resolutions. Do we really need January 1st to reinvent ourselves? Sip some Mysterbrow (don't ask, just listen) as we discuss why any day can mark the beginning of a better you. So stoke the fire, pour a hot cocoa, and let's reflect on the shared human experiences that the holiday season brings, from the famous to the fictional, the solemn to the celebratory.
