HDI is back! On an early fall day in Arkansas, 1980 the sky was blue, the birds were chirping, school was just back in session, and a three megaton nuclear bomb nearly decimated a chunk of the state. How could this happen? We’ll talk about that and Kevin’s high level safe word on our latest episode.

Hey Mistorians! We are taking a much needed summer break. We are also going to do some retooling of the show. We are confident that it will be bigger than 10 Super Bowls. But let’s not oversell it. We’re on hiatus for the month of August, returning in September. Have a wonderful summer and go out and make some history! Or babies. Or elotes. Or bathtub gin. We don’t care what you do.

“Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” But as the great Eddie Izzard once said…the gun helps. On the latest episode of HDI John talks guns. And holy shit he knows a lot about them for a pacifist! You’ll laugh…you’ll cry…you’ll learn…then you’ll probably cry some more because America’s gun problem shows no signs of getting better. at lease we’re on a Canadian podcast network. Keep those couches warm for us, Sonar. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network

As most of us know five conservative judges from the US Supreme Court recently took it upon themselves to drop their collective pants and shit all over women’s rights by making it so that abortion is no longer a guaranteed right. This is, of course, after some judges said they wouldn’t do that in their confirmation hearings. Yes, even judges can be lying pieces of shit hellbent on promoting their personal, religious agenda. On the latest episode of HDI we get fiery over this and other human rights the court may try to take away. Because if there’s one thing we know about people in power, they rarely give a shit about the rest of us.

Also, John airs his grievances concerning the inconsistencies within the Star Wars universe. How can they harness the power to create lightsabers but they can’t teleport or time travel? What the fuck, Lucas?

And John still isn’t drinking. Which is lame. But he still brings up Del Taco. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network

All of us have some experience coaching and/or being coached. Sometimes your coach was a mentor…a teacher…a friend…someone to confide in. And other times your coach was just a giant piece of shit.

The idea of American isolationism has a long and complicated past.

(Hint: it’s sex.) Brought to you By: The Sonar Network
