Think today's politics are bad? In 1859, a US Senator and a former Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court literally shot each other over slavery. ⚔️

Twin Peaks asks a lot of questions, and often provides very strange answers. Turns out my 60 second interview with @scottmeslow.bsky.social does the same thing:

I sit down w/ @scottmeslow.bsky.social to discuss his book on #twinpeaks "A Place Both Wonderful and Strange". I learn how Sheryl Lee was an extra who became the soul of the series, how David Lynch's limo driver became deputy Andy & how the Red Room was born from a hot car roof.

Went to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena and I have to say — criminally underrated. 🎨

Van Gogh painted his mother. Degas apparently had thoughts about armpit hygiene, asomewhere in the modern art wing, a single white square is making me question everything I know.

The world's most famous conspiracy theory & it's built on a pamphlet, a fake story about Napoleon, & a lot of recycled fear. I sat down w/ author @rothschildmd.bsky.social to trace the Rothschild myth from a Frankfurt ghetto all the way to Jewish space lasers:

In the latest ep., I sit down with Eddie McNamara to discuss his work in investigating the #zodiac murders. As a former cop, he has a real knack for sifting truth from fiction. I think Eddie may have solved it.

If there is one thing I hate on trips, its unnecessary bathroom stops. Hang it out the window I say. This time the stop lead to the discovery (for me) of #casadefructa, the best fruit stand in #america! Located on the 152 outside #gilroy, this place literally had it all.

102 years ago, a 16-year-old named Lionel Sternberger changed America forever by putting cheese on a hamburger for the first time. The concoction was originally called the "Aristocratic Burger", & was created at a place called The Right Spot. It sure was.

Have you ever wondered what your house plants are thinking? Elisabeth Saake has, and she tells me all about her book "Houseplants and Their F*cked-Up Thoughts". The subtitle is "P.S. They Hate You" so you can imagine where it goes.

Before there was Panda Express, there was the Panda Inn. Founded by Peggy & Andrew Cherng, this is where it began. In 1983 the fast food version launched, & in 1987 orange chicken changed everything. Come see the original, upscale sit-down restaurant that started it all:

Did you know the world's largest aeolian wind harp is hiding in South San Francisco? Standing 94 feet tall and named after Aeolus, the Greek god of wind, this sculpture has ties to Eames Demetrios, who you may recognize from our Kcymaerxthaere episode.
