Hello my friends and welcome back to the history of everything podcast live from japan. Well truthfully it is not live. We did plan on doing a big group episode together over the course of the trips but then 3 separate times everyone was like hey what if we went to all you can drink karaoke? And so we did that instead. Soooooo sorry about that
Anyway here we are in Japan, the land of the rising sun and we have have a series of questions that we thought would be fun to answer. Why was the emperor of Japan a God? Why does Japan have a penis festival? Why are roasted beans thrown to drive out evil spirits? Why are there so many rules in Japan about how to handle chopsticks? Well if you’ve ever been to Japan and stumbled across these beliefs or superstitions or if you’ve never heard of them. This episode will go over these superstitions and many more.

Why Madagascar Collapsed from Endless Corruption and Bulls**t
Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina was toppled in a military coup that capped weeks of youth protests over poverty, power outages and a lack of opportunity in the Indian Ocean island country.
Right after parliament voted to impeach Rajoelina, who fled the country fearing for his safety, the leader of Madagascar’s elite CAPSAT military unit said the armed forces would form a council made up of officers from the armed forces and gendarmerie, a military unit that polices civilians, and would appoint a prime minister to “quickly” form a civilian government.

The Ustase and the Darkness of Croatia
Croatia is a land with a rich and vast history going back over 2000 years. However it was not really an independent country until the 1990s as for 1000 years it was subservient to other powers. Many croatians did not like this and it ultimately led to something truly horrible happening in ww2

Hey Kids, Do You Want To Crash A Train?
Today, people use the phrase "train wreck" to describe a disaster from which you cannot tear your eyes. More than a century ago, clever hucksters spotted the potential for profit in getting two steam locomotives to smash into each other and charging people to watch the spectacle.

The Silly History of Beating People Up
Martial arts history began in prehistoric times, with evidence of combat techniques dating back to at least 3000 BC in Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt. Early forms like Pankration in Greece and Shuai Jiao in China developed thousands of years ago, while other traditions like Malla Yuddha emerged in India around the same time. Over centuries, these ancient practices evolved through cultural exchange and military strategy, influencing the development of modern systems worldwide. Some of these though...are pretty silly
