WARNING: In the last 30 minutes the recorder ran out of storage and the audio was recorded on a very weak room mic with a lot of room tone. Apologies.

This week the lads bust out another grip of bizarre media including mysterious songs, race war novels, David Lynch weather reports, local commercials, salacious celebrity sex rumors of yesteryear, 1-900 numbers, the fashion of fury and more dumb shit!

This week Johnboy tells the lads about an 18th century society boy who upended the standards of his noble status by endlessly engaging in pistol duels, grudges, intimidation via his pet bear, gang wars and other debauchery in his native west of Ireland and elsewhere in Europe. Was it his brain injury from an early duel, boredom and affluence or innate madness that drove George Robert Fitzgerald to his bitter end?

This week Johnboy brings us the story of the ultimate femme fatale, a maelstrom of anger and violence from a woman so beautiful and alluring that she caused multiple riots, closed down theaters, socialized her ways into the halls of power in Europe and toppled governments!
