Episode 286: My Brother Stole My Identity and I Went to Jail For It

Jul 19

This week Mike runs us through a wild true story: his brother stole his identity, racked up warrants in multiple counties, and got Baron Von Pearce arrested for crimes he didn't commit — plus the decade-long family fallout that followed. Then we dive into deep weird science territory: water that boils and freezes at the same time, electric eels that can shock alligators to death, 30-foot anacondas, and a woman who cured her Lyme disease by getting swarmed by bees. We also get into bee vibration therapy, radium glassware that glows under UV light, the Mongols catapulting plague corpses over city walls, and why 1 in 200 men alive today shares DNA with Genghis Khan. Fact or Fiction and Would You Rather close us out. Grab a drink (or whatever consumable you prefer) and settle in. This one was an adventure!

Cheers!
