Episode 285: An Exploding Whale, Wyoming Women, and a Cursing Parrot

Friday night podcast! Tesla was out there loving a pigeon more than he ever loved a human being, Wyoming threatened to skip statehood entirely over women's right to vote, and a Pope literally declared war on cats (spoiler: it goes badly for everyone, except for the rats). Mike and Tony revisit the 1518 dancing plague nobody could stop, the Roswell "weather balloon" that definitely wasn't just a weather balloon, and the time the U.S. Army blasted Guns N' Roses at a dictator for ten straight days until he gave up. Also featured: a beached whale that turned into a public safety hazard, Andrew Jackson's parrot getting kicked out of his own funeral for cursing, and a "Would You Rather" round that gets uncomfortably existential fast. Come on in and join us!Cheers! m&t#MikeAndTonyShow #Episode285 #WeirdHistory #TeslaFacts #DancingPlague #RoswellUFO #OperationNiftyPackage #NoriegaVsGunsNRoses #ExplodingWhale #WyomingStatehood #PopeVsCats #AndrewJacksonsParrot #WouldYouRather #ThisWeekInHistory #CrazyHistory #HistoryPodcast #ComedyPodcast #DenverPodcast #ColoradoPodcast #TonyDollar #PodcastLife #WeirdFactsDaily
