The genius of Monty Python. Restaurant injury stories. Major events of the 1970s that I was alive for.

Episode 219 marks the birthday week for the podcast and its host! Let's get to celebrating! We have infamous birthday stories, special guests, and more. Hope you brought your own cake.

It kicks off with the legends of comedy, Monty Python. From dead parrots to silly walks, to insane but catchy songs, these British icons have been influencing comedy for over 50 years. We will do an overview of their career with more to come in the future.

We return, for possibly the final time, to Restaurant Storytime. The tenth edition is all about the greatest injuries I suffered during my tenure in the unforgiving kitchen. Knives, cheese graters, cleaning chemicals, and more. It's like a PSA for what not to do.

In honor of birthday week, and to make me feel old, we have a special Top 5. This week we will look at the 1970s events I was alive for. It was barely more than two years but there were a lot of famous and infamous events I was alive for.

There is, of course, a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking at the creation of the iconic board game Monopoly.
