We're not going to lie, this episode start off with a hateful bastard and gets worse and worse as it goes on. It's not a happy ending, but it was an ending. We discuss the final years of Billie Holiday and the bitter establishment, girded by old bigotries, who sought to bring her down.
On Part 1 of this episode of the Trilateral Troika, we begin our foray into the darkly troubled yet brilliantly bright life of Billie Holiday. Known affectionately as "Lady Day," and "The First Lady of Blues," Billie had a traumatic youth during a tumultuous era for a women of color in America. She persevered and ultimately her talent shined through the stormy weather, though the clouds continued to linger. In this episode we discuss her rise to fame and critical success.
In this episode we discuss a few historical MISSING PERSONS. First we look at the topic of Ambrose Bierce, well-known author from the turn of the century(who happened to be quite a badass.) Then we look into the founder of the Nation of Islam, Wallace Fard Muhammad, who disappeared under strange circumstances... Enjoy!
Since we hate ourselves, we decided to give you over 2 hours of content to close up the story of Lyndon LaRouche, local asshole, regional jerkoff, who died mysteriously before figuring anything out. Enjoy!
This week we begin an examination into well known Quaker Burlesque dancer, Lyndon LaRouche. We also examine Betamax as a potential up and coming technology, improvised nunchucku, and Centrailia PA's ever-burning coal fire. Enjoy!
In this episode we discuss Project Stargate, which was a government funded project to look into Remote Viewing, or "viewing things you are not looking at and cannot see." We spent hundreds of millions on this and found nothing to indicate it is real. A solid financial decision! We also discuss the F35 financial disaster, the Men Who Stare at Goats, and JOCK JAM GRANDMASTERS: TECHNOTRONIC. Enjoy!
Nollaig Shona! Boldog Karácsonyt! Buon Natale! Nadolig Llawen (Damn Welsh..)! In other words, Merry Christmas! In this episode we discuss some varied alternative Christmas traditions, namely Welsh and Icelandic such as the Yule Lads, who are a delightful bunch. Steve tells us about the more sinister forms of "Wassailing" and The Other Steve tells too many personal anecotes while Ryan rolls his eyes. Enjoy!
In this episode we discuss Trofim Lysenko, farming genius and scientific iconoclast. I mean, seriously, who needs genetics and natural selection when plants clearly will follow what is good for the party, comrade? We also discuss the lack of Internet access in the 20s, Upstairs Medical School, and "Deutsche Physik" or "Douche Physics." Enjoy!
This week we conclude our foray into the electoral system of Vatican City. Wait, I mean the electoral system of breezy Anytown, USA. We also discuss churched-up avatars, Dragonball Z, and Mahogany boxes! Enjoy!
You probably hear about it all the time, so we decided to have our man Steve investigate and tell us all about the Electoral College. It's definitely a garbage pile that was set on fire, and continues to burn. In this episode we go over the history of it initially, and in part 2 we'll go over where it is now, and why we should probably eliminate it. We also discuss bad mechanics, Taft, Turkey Legs and the Blunderbuss. Enjoy!
