Description

Kris and Jake take a wild dive into the sketchy, radioactive, and downright absurd world of vintage mail-order products. From radium-infused tonics and opium-laced pink pills to dehydrated water, atomic car gadgets, and even explosives, the episode explores just how unhinged the catalog era really was. Along the way, they unpack scammy car mods, historic disasters, and the legendary Turboencabulator.
