Alphas Make Sandwiches Ep. 67: This Week in History, Reality Collapse & Bottoms Up

About this episode

The episode covers significant historical events while discussing contemporary political issues and cultural commentary.

The ladies are back with cough attacks, sun-peeling leprosy jokes, and a Michael Jackson biopic recap that somehow leads to a tutorial on stop, drop, and roll. Ashe takes the wheel for a packed This Week in U.S. History segment covering the Ludlow Massacre, Columbine, John Adams getting big mad about being VP, the Battle of San Jacinto, Apollo 16 (allegedly), the Oklahoma Land Run, the Easter Rising, and the ten-day John Wilkes Booth manhunt that ended in a tobacco barn. Along the way, the crew unpacks the post-mass-trauma push from both political sides to either disarm citizens or suspend civil liberties, and why both responses serve a globalist agenda. They dig into the AI dilemma and reality collapse, debunk a fake Melania video in real time, and revisit the wildly inaccurate 1970 Earth Day predictions about mass starvation by 1985. Christy closes things out with the idiom of the week, bottoms up, and the surprisingly shady Royal Navy recruiter origin story involving a shilling, a beer, and a one-way ticket to a saltwater subscription. Plus a birthday surprise, line dancing, and resting Brian face.
