The Year Is 1966
Episode description
This week we time travel to 1966 when you might be aware was the year that England won the World Cup, but not just that, John Lennon says that the Beatles are more popular than Jesus, mass murderer Charles Whitman known as the Texas Town Sniper kills 16 people from the top of a university clock tower, builders begin work on the World Trade Center, and supermodel Cindy Crawford and actor Stephen Baldwin are both born. Also Bobby has become a TikTok star and Red is drawing lines on what countries he won't perform in.
