Episode 62 - John Brinkley

Dave: Brinkley then wrote the AMA, which had expelled him from their membership, demanding them to list him as having a medical degree from Pavia instead of Kansas’ Eclectic School.

But the school dragged its feet so the AMA went straight to Benito Mussolini–

Gareth: Holy shit!

Dave: –and Brinkley’s Italian degree was rescinded.

Gareth: Holy shit! Don’t fuck with the AMA.

An artist’s depiction of the alleged murder of Russell Colvin. Poor, simple Russell. He was the Rube of his time. Maybe if he’d been good at baseball he wouldn’t have run away/been murdered.

Dave: Fat Henry Knox.
