Today I Found Out

If you happen to be looking for a great video to listen to while drifting off to sleep, might I suggest our latest covering all manner of awesome aircraft related topics, like the crazy cool, and expensive, engineering of the B-2 Stealth Bomber. How the SR-71 Blackbird got made and how they made it so insanely fast. How the Wright Brothers won the race to the air. Next up an Incredibly deep dive into the fascinating invention of the helicopter. Can you really legally land a helicopter in a fast food parking lot? Moving on from there, the strange world and incredible engineering of the wingless lifting body aircraft. The long and twisting road to flying cars. The largely forgotten airship disaster that helped end the cruise ships of the sky. And, finally, was Alberto Santos-Dumont the real inventor of the airplane? https://youtu.be/iho6QScqb6w

Happy 4th to those of the United States' persuasion who enjoy celebrating traitors to King and Country who also advocated for tax evasion... ;-) If you would like to become the envy of this evening's BBQ talks, admired by your crush, feared by your enemies, capable of dropping interesting little known American Revolution facts like Jason Mendoza can drop a beat, well have we got a documentary for you!

In all seriousness, this is one of the most interesting videos we've ever produced in my opinion, so do check it out if interesting history is your thing: Hancock's Revolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaBK1... -Daven

This one gets super weird, right down to mummifying famed Argentinan Eva Perón and her surviving husband then keeping her mummy in his and his new wife's dining room for years... as you do... Good conversation starter when guests over for dinner, I suppose... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur5Ns... -Daven

Public Service Announcement: President John Quincy Adams' middle name is pronounced Qwinzee, not Qwinsee. The city named after his great grandfather, Colonel John Quincy, in Massachusetts is also pronounced the same. Qwinzee, not Qwinsee. Thank you for your time. ;-) -Daven

For those wanting something to drift off to sleep to, might I recommend the latest edition of The BrainFood Show, in which we discuss the fascinating story of how Heinz went from a 10 year old selling home made horseradish to the multi billion dollar company it is today. Next up the incredible tale of the guy who introduced soft soap to the world, and his ingenious and amazingly ballsy trick to make sure the big boys like Johnson and Johnson couldn't push him out of the market once he introduced it. And, finally, the story of the 8th grade dropout who created Dunkin Donuts. If you like great origin stories, this one's for you. Give it a listen here https://youtu.be/v9aTQ9lyKz0

If you happen to be looking for something to fall asleep to, might we interest you in the saga of the world's biggest gem quality diamond, and how it ended up the jewel of the Crown Jewel collection- a fascinating tale of luck, subterfuge, and Colonial politics at the turn of the 20th Century. https://youtu.be/cE24JH448ns
