Conquistador Spring Break & The Scamming Count

from Unbelievable! Hosted by Kurt Danner and Luis Mejía

Hello, 2025! We are welcoming the year with scams, schemes, and just a dash of mid-XVII century shenanigans. Kurt tells Luis the story of the man that sold the Eiffel Tower (twice!) and about some Portuguese sailors that got a little too into pineapple that made them forget their good Catholic values. Will Luis share his controversial takes on geopolitics or will he finally learn to be quiet and not condone cannibalism yet again? Let's find out!

To advance in rocketry, aviation, and chemical weapons, America recruits scientists and engineers who fueled the war machine of another nation...Nazi Germany. Inspired by the true story behind the Emmy-eligible drama series "Hunters" from Amazon Studios, starring Al Pacino and Logan Lerman, PAPERCLIP explores how Operation Paperclip – the recruitment of Nazi Germany’s most brilliant and, in many cases, most villainous scientists to the United States after World War II – impacted some of America’s most vital, monumental, and controversial endeavors in military technology, medical research, and the space program. As our two hosts, history professor Monique Laney and actor-comedian Michael Ian Black, tackle Operation Paperclip from multiple angles – from its “pragmatic” Cold War motivations to its wide range of applications – listeners will come to understand this little-known and unbelievable mom
