Skull & Bones and Being Stranded

from Tell Me What You Know Hosted by Michael Peloquin, Michael Brown

On today's episode of TMWYK, we're talking about the Skull and Bones, and I don't mean the Jolly Roger. This Order at Yale is a secret society for the rich and powerful. We'll cover the founding of the group along with some of its history, and then jump into the rumor mill for some conspiracy talk. We'll fill in the gaps for Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker. And then, Hello? Can you hear me? SOS. Yes, we're stranded. We're gonna tell you about some famous survival stories from people marooned on an island, trapped at sea, and circumstances that drive you to eat your frozen best friend. If Michael #1 and I are stranded I'm eating his calf with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti. This is Tell Me What You Know!
