We're going to the late 1600's to discuss a tragic bit of Dutch history! With the start of the Dutch's 'Disaster Year' the Dutch Republic was invaded by not only England, but also France and Germany. With their sea-trading cut off and half of their land seized, the people of Holland started looking for someone to blame. And their eyes settled on the De Witt brothers.

What caused the angry people to go after Johan and Cornelis? And just why is this disastrous Rampjaar still recognized as the worst time in history for the Dutch? Was it real or did Kyle make it all up?

Did you know prohibition wasn't just in America? There was another country, one shaped like fashionable footwear, that also enacted it, and it caused criminal mafia families to grow more than they already were. And one specific crime family, the Dello Russo's, ran an unsanctioned fighting ring that became so violent the Italian government needed to take them down from the inside.

Was the undercover agent able to pull off his incredibly dangerous and deadly mission? Did the Dello Russo Family get away with it? Or is this story falso? Tune in now to find out!

Welcome to our podcast! We are a husband and wife, and a writer and lover of stories. Kyle is also a history buff and Sydney knows very little about history. Every episode, Kyle will tell Sydney an obscure, wild tale from history, and at the end of the episode she has to decide if it's true or not.

Listen along and see if you can be a history buff...or bluff!

Happy Easter! While this is not a holiday-themed episode, we hope everyone dives in with us as we go over the Khamar-Daban Incident.

When seven hikers go up into the titular mountain range, led by Lyudmila Korovina, they believed they would be spending three or four days basking in the beauty of the peaks and trees. Instead, what they got was a horrifying ordeal that none of them could have even imagined happening.

What took place on the Khamar-Daban mountain range? Who or what was to blame for the incident? Was it true or did Kyle make it up? Tune in now to find out!

Political unrest and violence unraveled in 1850s Kansas, but a small, unknown event took place in Franklin County that involved no fists...or pants. A group of Free-Staters, determined to keep the evils of slavery from their soon-to-be state, would walk any distance to make their voices heard. Even if they arrived in the buff.

What caused them to cast their votes naked? Was it enough to keep their state free for all people? Or did Kyle make all of this up? Will Sydney guess this one correctly?

How far would you walk for peace? If you're like the humanitarian Irina Rupena, you'd walk much more than just 500 miles. As the Cold War was nearing its end, Irina and others with the Slovenian Red Cross launched a humanitarian mission to bring the world together, by walking the world's longest continuous route: The MEANA Trail.

As the team began their trek, many around the world cheered, and thousands in the 13 countries they'd be passing through would experience the absolute best of humanity. Would the team complete the MEANA Trail? Would the Intercontinental Trek of Peace help bring some sort of peace among nations? Or, did Kyle make this whole thing up?

The Great War has ended! While countries return to life at home, a horrible tragedy occurs that no one could've expected. At a shipping warehouse in Boston, Massachusetts, a loud groaning sound began to roar, causing everyone around to look up at one of the large storage tanks. As the tank burst outward, a large wave of a fast moving, sticky substance rushed those unfortunately in its way...molasses.

How devastating was the Molasses Flood? What caused the tank to give? Could it have been avoided? Or did Kyle spin a wild yarn? Tune in now to find out!
