Welcome to The Wild Card Podcast! Here is another great episode from the archive! This is episode 57 of our attempt at this whole podcasting thing!! Today's episode features: Jared Eaton trying his hardest to get through his report (to no avail), Jeff Curtis pining over a world in which Crede, Colorado is a booming metropolitan area (we're not there, Jeff....not yet.....), and Ron Blair abandoning the title "Treasure of Hardin County??? Throughout the episode, you'll hear the three of us discussing such varied topics as: The way this podcast is about haunting your dreams with our relentless education and.....Ron said a bunch of other stuff including the word "earholes" (one of our most beloved words), our favorite colors, the three of us totally not making up a bunch of BS during the commercial to pretend we didn't record this way ahead of Ron's vacation, the inaugural Wild Card Vodcast topic all about what happened to Jeff's eye when he was twelve, and occasionally we part from our tangents to discuss some famous diseases. We go look at some of the deadliest epidemics of all time, including the bubonic plague and the Spanish Flu. We also discuss the diseases that are most likely to kill us, some of the advances we've made in understanding and combating disease, and how vaccines DO NOT cause autism. Warning: there's some pretty gruesome stuff in here. Join us on this journey to wherever and we're sure that you'll be feeling great when you listen to this Sick Podcast!!

P.S. “How many valiant men, how many fair ladies, breakfast with their kinfolk and the same night supped with their ancestors in the next world! The condition of the people was pitiable to behold. They sickened by the thousands daily, and died unattended and without help. Many died in the open street, others dying in their houses, made it known by the stench of their rotting bodies. Consecrated churchyards did not suffice for the burial of the vast multitude of bodies, which were heaped by the hundreds in vast trenches, like goods in a ships hold and covered with a little earth.”
~Giovanni Boccaccio
