01/31/25 • 34 min
They say, "Slow as molasses" but do you think you could outrun a wave of molasses? We've all heard of shoofly pie, but does it really attract flies? Was the molasses flood of 1919 the worst flood in US history or the tastiest flood in US history? How did cattle arrive in the US? Kyle and Jheisson answer these questions and more as they stick to the pages of Wikipedia going from the Great Molasses Flood, to shoofly pie, antebellum, to horses in North America.
