2026/04/09

DetallesDaniel takes McKyler back to late-1800s Mexico—the era of Porfirio Díaz, the powerful leader whose long rule shaped a nation. We dig into the hacendados and vast haciendas, the deep social divides, and the oppression that sparked a revolution. From Díaz’s rise from humble roots to the legendary figures of Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa (and even General Pershing’s wild chase), we explore how it all connects.EnlacesPorfirio Diaz: Mexico's Gentleman DictatorPorfirio Diaz: From Mexican

Daniel and McKyler take a reflective look at what life actually felt like for an average American adult male in 1976: waking up, drinking coffee, punching the clock at a factory job, and calling it a life well-lived. Along the way, we dig into the top books and movies of the era, the moment the Apple Computer changed everything, a brief but chilling look at why serial killers seemed to dominate the headlines — and we

DetailsMcKyler takes Daniel on a wild tour of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair — where a serial killer ran a "Murder Castle" next door, the world's first Ferris wheel lifted 60 people 264 feet into the sky, belly dancers scandalized the nation, orange cider somehow became a thing, and the mayor of Chicago was assassinated two days before closing. Oh, and Cracker Jack, the dishwasher, and Pabst Blue Ribbon all debuted here too. Just a normal fair.LinksRanking the Weirdest Things at the
