    125. Not So Good Vibrations: How The Beach Boys Escaped Charles Manson
    Oct 2 2026
    The Beach Boys are one of America's most innovative and influential music groups, known by most for their "California Sound." Their early hits were about catching waves and the eyes of girls, driving cars and basking in the Good Vibrations sunshine. But, despite their complex and stunning harmonies in the studio, the lives of some of its members--namely, the Wilson brothers--were anything but harmonious.In this episode, Laurel has a sesh with Assistant Professor of History, Dr. Darren R. Reid to talk about the most bizarre story in the band's history: the connection between Dennis Wilson, middle brother of the Wilson trio, and one of America's most infamous criminals: Charles Manson and the Manson Family.They explore the dichotomy of the 1960s, where the Beach Boys' cheerful music of its early years contrasted sharply with the darker realities of the latter half of the decade. The conversation highlights the impact of the Wilsons' family dynamics, substance abuse, and the counterculture movement on the band's legacy. It explores the themes of belonging, insecurity, and the gradual descent into cult life. Ultimately, it reflects on the profound aftermath of Manson's influence on those involved and the cultural ramifications of the Manson murders, particularly focusing on the Beach Boys and Dennis Wilson's experiences. The tragic events that took place in Los Angeles in 1969 forever shaped the lives of those involved and put a dark end to the Summer of Love and the peace and love counter-culture movement of the 1960s.~~~~~~~~*Mentioned in the Stories:Darren's short documentary "Learning To Smile" on YouTube"Never Learn Not to Love" The Beach Boys song originally written by Charles MansonEpisode 45: The Satanic PanicResources for Domestic and Emotional Abuse:In the U.S. --- 1.800.799.SAFE (7233) or text “start” to 88788International Resources for Abuse and Exploitation~~~~~~*Check Out What Our Guest, Dr. Darren R.

    124. Extinct! When the Earth Ended (Twice)
    Sep 12 2026
    Mass extinction events! There have been five in the history of Earth. They all completely suck but some were worse than others. In this episode, KT takes us on a trip hundreds of millions of years into the past to learn about the K-T Extinction Event (yeah, we know. That's an unfortunate coincidence) when a massive asteroid killed the dinosaurs. She also covers the WORST mass extinction event that few people know about: The Permian-Triassic Extinction also known as The Great Dying (I'm sorry but WTF?!)Join us where the only land was the supercontinent of Pangea, dinosaurs ruled the Earth, and all the bad, awful stuff gets measured in gigatons and Empire State Buildings.~~~~~*The Socials and Patreon!Patreon-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Best Buds Club!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistoryPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@High Tales of History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠High Tales of History or ⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory ⁠Email—hightailingthroughhistory@gmail.com⁠ ~~~~~~*Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Earth's Catastrophic Extinctions10:02 The Mesozoic Era and Dinosaur Dominance19:57 The KT Extinction: Impact and Aftermath29:56 The Permian Extinction: The Worst Mass Extinction40:01 Global Effects of the Impact: Firestorms, Tsunamis, and Climate Change49:54 Lessons from Earth's Past Disasters47:46 The Impact of Water Displacement and Marine Fossils49:19 Earthquake, Tsunamis, and Volcanic Eruptions50:35 The Aftermath: Winter, Darkness, and Starvation51:33 How Bad Was the Asteroid Impact?52:43 Volcanic Activity and Long-Term Cooling55:58 The Permian Extinction and Siberian Traps01:00:00 Earth's Hot Past and Continents01:04:39 The Great Dying: Causes and Consequences01:09:40 The Permian Extinction's Global Impact01:19:50 Marine Extinction and Ocean Changes01:20:57 The Hypothetical Hypercane Storms01:23:25 The Sixth Mass Extinction and Human Impact01:29:59 What We Can Do to Prevent Further Extinction01:34:25 The Resilience of Life and Earth's Future~~~~~~~~~~~~*Source Material and References:https://youtu.be/rFlEe0qflGs?si=gkI7AAbxscfuJTtt https://youtu.be/It8orOogiPI?si=yRwdD_2UagMnbQlp https://share.google/hyAV0tY5YDY8e8IzE https://share.google/zypoYeeeZYbk3Yfwd https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event https://share.google/eA48R22GhJ7KAaTgd https://share.google/QeOmRue2vDK7na4O8 https://share.google/WDuyjb5ENg4fIDL69 https://share.google/XqLRclRn6v4odCHb6 https://share.google/Q8GTyDoZ3Db5zhX7I https://share.google/l3jpRVjNA6Qqt5dLT https://share.google/utrKHzSDmqcubj3yZ https://share.google/lvZixDR3HOnucmNuy https://share.google/ZafjvDcuDrTzxOeqI https://share.google/RCTGGIMXe8OOMmtre https://share.google/SMP2adjjxP8b6oUnW https://share.google/SD7OgqcDFnjCPY0PX https://share.google/mDKp1kRQHu97QbSg1 ⁠~~~~~~~*Intro/outro and Transition Music created all from: "Hit the Streets" Music licensed through Soundstripe on Riverside.fmCode: 5SFLA6TCMVWJERUU, EMPRILZIRAMJL8ZR

  • 123. The Munchies That Made Us: The Holy Trinity (Pizza, Tacos and Ramen)

    123. The Munchies That Made Us: The Holy Trinity (Pizza, Tacos and Ramen)
    Aug 28 2026
    Welcome into the Smoke Circle for the start of season 8! The sisters have cooked up another episode of food history with part two of The Munchies That Made Us! In part one, we discussed four food staples that grew civilizations and created the classic munchies we know and love. Part two traces the origins of "The Holy Trinity" of savory stoner foods: pizza, tacos, and instant ramen. This episode shows how global trade, migration, war, and convenience shaped what we eat when the munchies hit. Along the way, we debate who has the best pizza, get delightfully sidetracked by tomato lore (did you know the tomato isn't native to Italy?!), the mystery of the taco, and what a hostage crisis did for instant ramen sales. ~~~~~~*Timestamps 01:05 - Part two preview: pizza, tacos, and instant ramen 06:31 - Recap of part one and the role of staple crops 07:30 - Why pizza belongs on every munchies list 09:58 - Focaccia, flatbreads, and the missing tomato 12:39 - Tomatoes begin in Mesoamerica, not Italy 15:03 - Columbus, Cortés, and the Columbian Exchange 19:26 - Europe mistrusts tomatoes as “wolf peaches” 27:28 - Naples, volcanic soil, and the first tomato sauce pizza 30:07 - The Margherita pizza legend and royal branding 32:24 - Pizza spreads through Italy and into the United States 38:35 - What counts as a taco and why chalupas are real 40:05 - Corn tortillas in Mesoamerica and the roots of taco culture 42:40 - One theory for the word taco from silver mines 46:37 - The “chili queens” and tacos entering American food culture 49:52 - Glenn Bell, Taco Bell, and the commercialization of tacos 54:10 - Instant ramen as one of the world’s most consumed foods 56:10 - Japan closes its doors, then reopens under the Meiji Restoration 58:00 - Chinese noodle soup becomes ramen in Yokohama 59:48 - World War II destruction and the food crisis in Japan 64:28 - Momofuku Ando spots the long ramen line that sparks an idea 66:26 - The invention of shelf-stable instant noodles and the launch of Chicken Ramen 70:31 - Cup noodles and the push into the American market 73:52 - The hostage crisis accidentally becomes a massive ramen commercial 78:40 - The Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum and ramen culture today 81:12 - Why convenience foods matter and what they trade off~~~~~*Mentioned in the Episode:Episode 90: The Werewolf Trials of Europe Half Baked (1998) Munchies List~~~~~*The Socials and Patreon!Patreon-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Best Buds Club!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistoryPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@High Tales of History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠High Tales of History or ⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory ⁠Email—hightailingthroughhistory@gmail.com⁠ ~~~~~~*Source Material and References:Sources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN00PtRWjlUhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_pizzahttps://www.history.com/articles/a-slice-of-history-pizza-through-the-ageshttps://www.twistedtaco.com/the-history-of-the-tacohttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/where-did-the-taco-come-from-81228162/https://www.google.com/search?q=firebombing+of+japan+vs+atomic+bombshttps://ramenmuseum.nyc/history-of-ramen/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nov7lFsvBIo~~~~~~~*Intro/outro and Transition Music created all from: "Hit the Streets" Music licensed through Soundstripe on Riverside.fmCode: 5SFLA6TCMVWJERUU, EMPRILZIRAMJL8ZR
