Summary

Welcome to episode 142 of Ninjas Are Butterflies, the comedy and conspiracy podcast that boldly connects dots that absolutely should not be connected. This week, we kick things off with the rise of the new Pope. Who is he? Where did he come from? Then we head to Boston in 1919 to revisit a forgotten disaster that sounds made up but is very, very real: the Great Molasses Flood. A 15-foot wave of sticky death swept through the city, and somehow no one knows about it. And if that’s not enough, we flip through early WWII documents that suggest dinosaurs may still be alive in parts of Africa. Yes—actual dinosaurs. No—we’re not kidding. Maybe. Probably. If you love conspiracy theories, weird history, and chaotic humor from people who are wildly underqualified to talk about any of this, you’re in the right place. Perfect for listeners searching for: Vatican conspiracies, Boston molasses disaster, are dinosaurs still alive, weird WWII documents, cryptids in Africa, funny history podcasts, or the absolute strangest way to learn about real events. New episodes every week. Follow us and never miss a theory, a meltdown, or a 20-minute tangent about prehistoric lizards with top-secret clearance.
