History Defeats Itself

History Defeats Itself

por Kevin Rosenquist

I Fractured the Front of My Face

There was a time when "getting your bell rung" or "seeing stars" just meant you needed to shake the cobwebs, grab a smelling salt, and get back out there! Nowadays we know that head injuries are nothing to take lightly. On this episode Greg leads the crew in a discussion about concussions. It's a great conversation, although Greg doesn't remember that on account of all the concussions he's had. This episode is brought to you by Manscaped.

We Will Have to Abandon Capitalism As We Know It

Science denial is everywhere in our society from those who think COVID is a hoax to climate change deniers to people who don't believe hair helmets regrow hair (ahem..Kevin). On this episode the crew talks about how so many people are opting to mistrust scientists with huge brains and years of schooling, research, and training and instead put their faith in a President who looks like the fourth member of the Lollipop Guild. I mean...why not? Side note: John had some marijuana-induced technical issues with his sound file. So please forgive the slight dip in production quality. Learn more about your ad choices.

It Goes Into Your Dilly Dangle

Birth control has been around for a lot longer than you might think. Humans have been trying to figure out how to enjoy sex without the worry of having a baby for thousands of years. On this episode of HDI Greg leads the way and educates us on the baby blocking methods that could have prevented any one of us from being here. Greg may have wished that Kevin and John's parents had used something 40-something years ago.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Maybe It's Time America Has Make Up Sex

It's painfully obvious to all that we live in a divided country. Our two party political system has become so contentious that people are picking sides, digging in, and flipping the bird to the other side. Is it hopeless? Can we figure out a way to come together? Perhaps it's time to admit the Union didn't work and that it's time to break up. On this episode the crew attempts to answer the question: would we be better off if the United States split up? Join us for a rousing discussion that might get us all deported.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I Need You to Sign This Waiver

The Mormon faith is complicated and nuanced. And what better way to learn about it then from three liberal heathens? On this episode of HDI Greg teaches us about Mormonism. Can they really not drink alcohol? Spoiler alert: no, they can't. Clearly this is not the religion for us since Kevin drank a bottle of wine during the recording. Put on your favorite pair of magical underwear, crack a beer, and come be saved with us! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, A Magical Organization

On this episode of HDI John leads the crew in a rousing discussion about how it will all end. John thinks it's soon, Kevin thinks it's further out, and Greg doesn't care either way as long as he's the first to go. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Goats Are Now Worth Seven Chickens

The media has been in our lives in a variety of forms for generations. It informs, educates, and even helps catch bad guys. Yes the media has a checkered past and a history of being dishonest. (Sorry, Fox News, lying to the public is another thing you didn't invent.) But it's certainly done more good than bad. It's a vital tool to Democracy. Don't believe us? Just ask someone in North Korea. Or better yet, listen to the latest episode and let John convince you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Talking to Kevin May Cause Swelling

Ah, Spring. The snow is melting...birds are chirping...grass is growing...and the person sitting next to you on the bus has wads of Kleenex shoved up each nostril. Anyone who suffers from seasonal allergies knows that pain. On this episode of HDI we're talking about allergies, something Kevin knows all to well. We talk about hay fever, food allergies, and how John saved Greg's life once by administering Benadryl. (Spoiler alert: it wasn't orally.) Join us for our most congested episode yet.
