Are You Sh!#ing Me?

What happens when you have so much money that the laws of normal life just... stop applying? In this episode of Are You Shitting Me? Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities, Brett breaks down one of the most unhinged (and somehow totally believable) facts about Mike Tyson — the man literally owned full-grown Bengal tigers in the 1990s. Not at a zoo. At his house. We're talking real tigers, real consequences, and one very unfortunate visitor who found out the hard way that apex predators don't care about your net worth. Brett explores how the incident spiraled into legal and financial fallout, and what it says about the fine line between "exotic pet owner" and "temporarily coexisting with something that could end you." Equal parts funny, wild, and oddly philosophical — this one's worth every minute. Cheers.

What happens when the biggest pop star on the planet gets dethroned… by a band that basically refused to exist on the internet for 25 years?In this episode of Are You Sh!#ing Me?, (Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities) Brett dives into one of the wildest chart battles in music history—when Taylor Swift’s Lover was dominating the world… until Tool showed up like absolute legends and said, “Yeah… we’ll take that #1 spot.”After decades of avoiding streaming platforms entirely, Tool dropped their entire catalog online overnight—then followed it up with their long-awaited album Fear Inoculum. The result? A chart takeover nobody saw coming, a 10-minute song breaking records, and a power move that shook the entire music industry.We’re talking:The insane numbers behind Lover vs. Fear InoculumTool’s anti-streaming stance and why it actually workedThe moment Tool flooded the Billboard chartsHow Maynard James Keenan responded to Swifties (and why it was perfect)And why this might be one of the greatest “stick to your guns” success stories everIt’s rock vs. pop, patience vs. hype, and one beautifully savage chart takeover.Because sometimes… doing things your way actually wins.Cheers!Brett#AreYouShittingMe #aysmpodcast #MusicHistory #ToolBand #TaylorSwift #FearInoculum #LoverAlbum #Billboard200 #RockVsPop #MusicIndustry #StreamingWars #MaynardJamesKeenan #MetalHeads #Swifties #ChartBattle #MusicPodcast #DidYouKnow #CrazyFacts #PopCulture #RockLegends

What do you do when you break your leg mid-concert in front of thousands of fans? If you're Dave Grohl, you get stabilized backstage and come right back out — seated in what fans would later call the "Rock Throne" — and finish the show anyway. In this episode of Are You Shitting Me? Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities, Brett discovers there are levels to toughness, and he is not on any of them. Dave Grohl broke his leg falling off stage in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2015, and instead of calling it a night, he turned it into one of the most legendary comeback moments in rock history — continuing to tour with the Foo Fighters while recovering from a legitimate, medical-grade fracture. Meanwhile, Brett once hurt his back sleeping wrong and questioned his entire existence for 45 minutes. This one's short, wild, and 100% true. Like, subscribe, leave a comment, and maybe — just maybe — Chuck comes back someday. Are you shitting me?

Spoiler — nobody argues back when Mr. T tells you to get your life together.Beyond the gold chains, the mohawk, and the A-Team, there's a guy who leaned into his larger-than-life image to genuinely influence people for the better. The image is a comic book. The impact is real.I pity the fool who misses this one.🎙️ New episodes drop weekly. Like, comment, follow, and maybe Chuck will come back.

Bobby Leach went over Niagara Falls in a steel barrel in 1911, broke both kneecaps, fractured his jaw, spent 23 weeks in the hospital, and lived to tell the tale for 15 years — only to slip on an orange peel in New Zealand and die of gangrene. A 63-year-old schoolteacher beat him to the jump AND outlived him. This is a real historical event. Are you shitting me?A dumb thing Brett learned while avoiding real responsibilities.

Brett was supposed to be doing something productive. He was not. Instead he found the story of Pope Stephen VI, who in 897 AD decided the correct response to a papal grudge was to exhume his predecessor's corpse, dress it in robes, prop it up on a throne, and hold a full criminal trial. The dead pope got a lawyer. Was found guilty. Had his fingers cut off. Got thrown in a river. The living pope then got strangled in prison. Justice was served to absolutely no one. Are You Shitting Me? — something learned while avoiding real responsibilities.Cheers!

That creepy bird-mask plague doctor you put on your front porch every Halloween? That was a real outfit worn by actual physicians in 17th century Europe. The beak was stuffed with herbs and dried flowers because they believed good smells would cancel out the plague. It did not work. Hundreds of thousands of people died. The leather suit maybe helped a little — kept the fleas off. The aromatherapy did nothing. Are You Shitting Me? — something Brett learned while avoiding real responsibilities.Cheers!

Celebrate National Beer Day with a wild true story that sounds completely made up—but isn’t. In this solo episode of Are You Sh!#ing Me?, Brett dives into the shocking history behind April 7, 1933—the day beer became legal again in the United States after 13 years of Prohibition.From the passing of the 18th Amendment and the strict enforcement of the Volstead Act, to the rise of speakeasies, bootleggers, and crime bosses like Al Capone, this episode uncovers how America went from dry to desperate.But it gets darker—did the U.S. government really poison alcohol during Prohibition, leading to thousands of deaths? And how did Franklin D. Roosevelt help bring beer back just days into his presidency?You’ll hear how Americans celebrated at midnight on April 7, 1933, drinking over 1.5 million barrels of beer in 24 hours, including a reported $5 million sold in Chicago alone.

It was only 3.2% beer.If you love weird history, shocking facts, alcohol history, or just need a reason to crack open a cold one—this episode is for you.Cheers to the end of Prohibition, the return of beer, and one of the craziest days in American history.

Brett was avoiding something today. He doesn't remember what. Doesn't matter. What matters is that in 1919, a 2.5 million gallon tank of molasses exploded in Boston, sent a wave 15 feet high through the streets at 35 miles per hour, killed 21 people, drowned horses, and left the entire neighborhood sticky for decades. Are You Shitting Me? — something learned while avoiding real responsibilities.Cheers!

Brett was supposed to be doing something productive. He was not. Instead he fell into the documented, historically verified story of Joseph Pujol — a completely normal man with an abnormal talent who performed at the Moulin Rouge, out-earned the most celebrated actress of his era, and made women faint from laughing too hard. Doctors examined him. He was fine. He was just built different. This is the most accidentally motivational episode of Are You Shitting Me? to date. Something Brett learned while avoiding real responsibilities.Cheers!

This week on Are You Sh!#ing Me?, Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities,Brett goes solo to unpack one of the weirdest, most unnecessary, and most delightfully chaotic moments in American holiday history: ,The Great Cranberry Scare of 1959 — the year the government basically told everyone, “Happy Thanksgiving… maybe don’t eat anything red.”Just two weeks before Thanksgiving, officials announced that some cranberries might be contaminated with a weed killer that could cause cancer in rats. The result?Panic. Outrage. Angry telegrams. Politicians flexing by chugging cranberry juice on TV. And an entire country looking for emergency backup side dishes (spoiler: it wasn’t pretty).President Eisenhower skipped the cranberry sauce. Grocery stores pulled cans off shelves. Life Magazine suggested pickled watermelon rind. AMERICA. LOST. ITS. MIND.Buckle up, because I discovered something while procrastinating that sent me into a spiral.Brett breaks down:• Why the warning happened• How bad the science actually was• Why Nixon ate four servings on camera like a deranged berry martyr• The letters the White House received (including Canadians demanding an apology)• And how this panic shaped modern food safety lawsAll that plus jokes, rants, and whatever Brett was supposed to be doing instead of researching 1950s cranberry drama.Cheers!BrettIG = https://www.instagram.com/aysm.show/FB = https://www.facebook.com/aysm.podcast.showUntappd = https://untappd.com/user/aysm_show/friends________________________________________Great Cranberry Scare of 1959Cranberry Panic 1959Thanksgiving historyAre You Shitting Me podcastAYSM cranberry episodeWeird Thanksgiving factsFood recall historyEisenhower cranberryNixon cranberryCranberry contamination 1959Delaney Clause historyFunny history podcastThanksgiving disastersAYSMpodcast________________________________________#AYSM#CranberryPanic#ThanksgivingHistory#AreYouShittingMe#CranberryScare1959#WeirdHistoryPodcast#aysmpodcast#ThanksgivingFails#FoodHistory#PodcastLife#HistoryNerd#HolidayChaos#CranberrySauce#Eisenhower#Nixon
