268 - The Dark History of Nursery Rhymes

268 - The Dark History of Nursery Rhymes

Who put the rock-a-bye-baby up in the tree branch, and why? Seems irresponsible. When it was raining and pouring, why didn't the old man get out of bed after bumping his head? Did he die? What is Ring Around the Rosie really about? The bubonic plague? Why are we singing to small children about cutting the tails off of three blind mice? Who wrote all the strange, often dark, mostly weird old nursery rhymes kids have been memorizing for centuries? We look into all of this and more today. Such a fun topic! We examine why nursery rhymes often appear dark and why that may have helped keep them popular. We look into the lore that surrounds a lot of popular old rhymes to try to separate origin fact from origin fiction. Comedic theory, mnemonic devices such as acoustic encoding, and more - all explored as I get both scientific and silly today, finally getting to know many classic nursery rhymes many of us have memorized but few actually understand.

412 - Saddam Hussein

412 - Saddam Hussein

Taking a look into the life of the former dictator of Iraq today, which will of course lead us into at least summarizing the first and second Persian Gulf Wars. How bad of a guy was Saddam?

411 - The Monster of Florence

411 - The Monster of Florence

Between 1968 and 1985, eight couples having sex in either parked vehicles or a tent in remote areas just outside of Florence, Italy were murdered. The killer shot them with the same .22 handgun. And from four of the women, the killer took a brutal trophy.... their vagina. As morbidly fascinating and troubling as these crimes are, the inept, corrupt, and superstitious  investigation into catching the killer is even  more troubling and fascinating. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/v3Wt9iIp-kIMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

The Tsuyama Massacre. The strange tale of one sexually frustrated man, Mutsuo Toi, who cut the power lines that fed electricity to his entire village one night, and then, armed with a samurai sword, daggers, a semi-automatic shotgun and 200 rounds of ammo, he wandered from house to house for 90 minutes, murdering roughly a third of his village's residents... WATCH THIS EPISODE: https://youtu.be/oN0uijgCVAgFor Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

410 - The Love Has Won Cult

410 - The Love Has Won Cult

The Love Has Won Cult was led by Amy Carlson, who died from alcohol abuse, anorexia, and colloidal silver dosing at the age of only 45 on April 16th, 2021. She'd badly needed medical treatment for two years, but didn't trust "3D hospitals" because she thought she was Mother God, a 5D being. And one of her galactic spiritual advisors, Robin Williams, forbid her from receiving treatment. Oh yeah,  this is an especially weird one...Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qlw0BAZwi1IMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

Short Suck #12 - The Dark Truth about Pornhub (And Where You Can Jerk/Rub Ethically!)

Do you know why Pornhub removed over 80% of its content at the end of 2020? The site was littered with child pornography and rape videos. Is it still? And if it is, where else can you go to find some "ethical pornography"?  A look into where to (and where not to)  beat your beaver and clean your meat-rifle today! WATCH THIS EPISODE: https://youtu.be/4coiGblMKAsFor Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

408 - Larry Nassar and the US Gymnastics Scandal

How was Dr. Larry Nasser able to sexually abuse over 500 victims, almost all of them young female gymnasts, over a period of 25+ years, in plain sight? He abused many of them while their parents sat right next to them, or across the room. And what culture of abuse was exposed when he was finally investigated? His dad needs help!

407 - Serial Flasher/Rapist/Killer Randy Woodfield

I don't know if anyone has ever loved exposing themselves to strangers as much as Randy Woodfield. The serial flasher, rapist, and I-5 Killer had an unusual childhood for a sexual predator - it was wonderful. He grew up in a loving, two-parent home, in a charming Oregon coast town, where he got good grades, was popular, and so good at football he was drafted into the NFL.
