105 - Madame Tussauds & Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow!

(Timestamps below description!) Hello, Airheads! This week we have stupendously pleasant show for you! After making their apologies for jumping the gun on the Kate Middleton conspiracy theories, Lord Trae and Professor CHO spend a spot of time discussing old superstitions, one of which is the fear (amongst Korean Papaws) that a ceiling fan will steal your soul! Lord Trae then shares a photograph he saw earlier this week of Her Royal Highness Queen Victoria Photobombing her Son and Daughter in Law at their Royal wedding... theres more to that story, but we shant give it away here! This leads Professor CHO into his topic which was an exploration of the origins of the famous Hollywood Wax Museum: Madame Tussauds! Closing out the show, Lord Trae brings to our attention a not-so-quite-as-known-Dictator, the former President (and still current Dear Leader) of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow! And lord, what a character he is!
