Hitler Pond - How Germans Became Americas Largest Ethnic Group
Yes, there’s a real place in Ohio called Hitler Pond — and no, it’s not what you think.
On today's episode, we dive deep into the strange but true story of the Ohio Hitlers — a German-American pioneer family with zero connection to the Nazis — and how World War I triggered one of the ugliest backlashes against immigrants in U.S. history.
From lynchings in the name of “patriotism” to German language bans and Beethoven getting canceled, we explore the dark side of American nativism and what it reveals about identity, propaganda, and assimilation. We even trace how these events may have influenced Adolf Hitler’s obsession with race, immigration, and “living space.”

Could Israel really strike Pakistan’s nuclear program?
In this episode, we explore one of the wildest what-if scenarios in modern geopolitics: a potential Israeli preemptive attack on Pakistan’s nuclear facilities. We dig into what such an operation would require, why it’s almost certainly a fantasy, and what the fallout could look like if it ever happened.
We also unpack Israel’s past preemptive strikes on Iraq (1981) and Syria (2007), the logic of nuclear deterrence, covert sabotage efforts, Indo-Israeli security ties, and why this bizarre scenario keeps popping up in strategic circles.

Assassination of Shinzo Abe
Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in broad daylight with a homemade shotgun. But the real story? It wasn’t political extremism. It was personal.
In this episode, we break down how Japan’s most influential modern leader was killed by a man with a vendetta against a powerful religious group—the Unification Church. We explore Japan’s eerie history of political assassinations, the cult's strange ties to government, and how loneliness and disillusionment are reshaping modern societies.
This is the wildest story you've never heard—all 100% true.

Hitler's Jewish Soldiers
On today’s episode, we unpack the wild true story of Erhard Milch — the Luftwaffe mastermind with Jewish blood — and the messy reality behind Nazi racial laws.
From forged paternity claims to exemptions signed by Hitler himself, we explore how ideology bent under the weight of war, power, and personal connections.
Featuring field marshals, Mischlinge soldiers, and a Nazi first lady raised by a Jew, this is history at its most ironic — and unsettling.
