Segment City Episode 51 - Mushroom Magnate

He built his empire toiling in the field. Then he said “Eh, nevermind” and left the field to rot and grow mushrooms. Then he made his fortune pick these mushrooms. At least that’s how I presume it went. Seriously, who ever heard of a mushroom magnate? This week on the podcast, the boys talk about being a hot, fat, pale nerd in the Middle Ages, answering Reddit’s question of “Am I the A**hole?” in a twisty tale of a man having his twin taking his place at his in law’s Christmas party, a Covid edition of “Conspiracy Query!” tackling some breaking news conspiracies, another of “The World’s Worst Theme Parks” with Lithuania’s “Stalin’s World”, a literal prison camp created by a mushroom magnate depicting all the great things about Soviet society including… Statues. A petting zoo. And much more. Not that much more to be honest. But there is a lot to deconstruct with this week’s edition of “Amazon Erotica” in which Will describes the 10 book “Betrothed” series by Penelope Sky. It has everything! Gypsy curses! Fighting over companies! Weddings! Break ups! The Skull King? What? Who are these characters? WHAT IS GOING ON?
