This week, it's all about the goats of the Galapagos Islands.      When 3 goats were introduced to the Galapagos in the year 1959, the whole ecosystem was rattled. In less than 40 years, the population of goats had risen over 100,000. Plant life was being wiped out by the goats which caused the other animals who ate the vegetation to also dwindle. The whole ecosystem was threatened by the presence of the goats.     That is when Project Isabela came into the picture. The goats had to be removed from the island, one way or another. This meant a massive extermination project was in the works. Teams of hunters were trained, and the project was underway. We talk about how this project came to be, how the hunters were trained, and the secret weapon the hunters used to finish the project: the Judas Goat.Sources; https://www.galapagos.org/conservation/our-work/ecosystem-restoration/project-isabela/

     Mike and Dylan are joined this week by their first ever guest! James Begin from Tropidelic is on the show this week, and they are talking about weaponized animals used in WWII. First, the focus is on one of the earliest animals used in battle in an unconventional way: The flaming war pig!      The guys talk about what animals were used in different ways, such as the way the Soviets used dogs. Most people think of war dogs as canines who could attack a soldier in the trenches, sniff out enemy weapons, or even help carry supplies. The Soviets figured dogs could be great suicide bombers, and fitted them with landmines to become Anti Tank Dogs     Exploding Rat bombs were also a thing! The British used rats to conceal small explosives, which they had sewn into the innards of the rat. Then, the rat was to be placed outside an enemy camp, specifically near the boiler room. The thought would be that the rats would be dumped in and kaboom!      Project Pigeon was an experiment by the US to use pigeons in a different way. The original job of the pigeon in war was to deliver messages, but that's not what we wanted. The US wanted these pigeons to deliver bombs! The pigeons would be the pilots essentially, leading a bomb onto a target.     The US also had project x-ray, another animal bomb. This time, bats were the main ingredient. The bats were fitted with little vests, and the vests were filled with napalm. When the bats scattered around the city and roosted, bam! A whole city could be up in flames in seconds!      The last weaponized animals talked about today are the fleas and flies that Japan used as bio weapons. The fleas were covered in bubonic plague, also known as the black plague. These fleas were then stuffed into clay casings and dropped onto China, where the fleas would spread the plague. The Japanese also coated the flies with cholera, and sprayed them out of a crop duster plane. You can thank Unit 731 for that!

     Mike and Dylan talk about Charles Henri Sanson, the Royal Executioner in France in the 18th century. Sanson is known for being one of the most prolific executioners, having completed nearly 3000 executions. Sanson not only took the heads of many, but he also had some well known executions, like King Louis XVI.      Like most jobs back in the day, being an executioner was in your blood. Charles was a 4th generation executioner, and his sons would go on to do the same work. He apprenticed for his father and his uncle, learning the ways of crowd management as well as being able to accomplish the task at hand swiftly.     Sanson was the man who got to work with the guillotine when it first was used to execute the condemned. He helped to make it more efficient and pain free, while still knowing what to do and how to keep the crowd of people from getting to impatient or bored.      Sanson was responsible for many deaths, and some very notable deaths. He was responsible for beheading Charlotte Corday, King Louis XVI, and oer 2900 others. The rest of this mans life story is inside! Sourceshttps://www.geriwalton.com/french-executioner-charles-henri-sanson/https://www.headstuff.org/culture/history/charles-henri-sanson-royal-executioner/line-up.com/charles-henri-sanson">https://the-line-up.com/charles-henri-sansonhttp://theappendix.net/posts/2014/06/a-short-history-of-the-executionerhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/charles-henri-sanson

     Dylan and Mike talk about the search for the Titanic! It all starts with a man named Robert Ballard, an Army LT who ended up transferring to the Navy. Ballard was fond of the ocean, its history, human impact on the ocean, and ship wrecks. He had went to the Navy and asked for permission to search for the Titanic, but was denied... until they finally said yes.     Of course they had secret reasons for agreeing to the search party. You see, the US Navy had lost nuclear submarines, two of them; the USS Thresher and the USS Scorpion. Losing these submarines could have had adverse effects on the ocean and any other country could get there hands on them.Thus, Robert Ballard was tasked with finding these submarines. If he was able to find them, he could search for the Titanic. The mission was to be top secret, and they could only claim they were searching for the Titanic.     Also covered in this episode is the story of JFK and his PT boat. Dylan and Mike briefly talk about what happened to JFK in WWII, and how he became shipwrecked as well. We also find that Robert Ballard managed to recover parts of that very same PT boat.
