Episode 273: The Oldest Butthole, the Bravest Zebra, and It’s Raining Marshmallows

We're back, and this week we've got everything — a 295-million-year-old prehistoric butt, a zebra named Zeus who absolutely refuses to be anyone's livestock, and the official holiday we call “Blah Blah Day”. We also dig into a prediction market genius who made $300K betting on Biden pardons, and the glorious chaos of marshmallows raining from helicopters in Michigan.

Then we get into the deep history of Nintendo — from handmade playing cards in 1889 Kyoto, to a brief and chaotic detour into running a taxi company and love hotels, to the kid who created Donkey Kong and accidentally invented Mario, to the legendary implosion of the Nintendo-Sony deal that accidentally gave birth to the PlayStation. Plus: we play our history edition of Two Truths and a Lie — war pigs, bidet thrones, bear taxes, and an elephant electrocuted in the name of science.

It's Episode 273. Pull up a seat.

Cheers!
