Execution for Espresso? ☕️ The Illegal History of Coffee | This is True Really News #1039

Grab your favorite (legal) stimulant and buckle up. In episode #1039, Scott and Tony dive into the "chintzy" Olympic medals, the mystery of the curling power play, and why the EU is trying to be the arbiter of everything good and ungood.

In this episode:

• The Great Coffee Prohibition: From Sultan Murad IV’s lethal coffee house raids to Frederick the Great’s "Coffee Sniffers" (Kaffe Schnuffler), we look at a time when your morning brew could get you executed.

• The World's Ugliest Lawn: Meet Kathleen Murray, the woman who let Bandicoots and a missing lawnmower lead her to global victory.

• Sleep Posture Perils: Are you a "Mountain Climber" or a "Rotisserie Chicken"? Why your sleeping position determines your medical future (and your spouse's patience).

• The Human Whistle: The record-breaking 44.1 decibel nose whistle from Mississauga. Is it talent, or just a very loud obstruction?

Special Thanks to our Belgian friends: We love your waffles and chocolate, even if we're confused about your horses.
