No matter where you're listening to this podcast from, you're probably aware that we're about to start this summer Olympics, the 33rd Olympics, actually, if we're being technical about it.

The games, which are said to have started some 3,000 years ago, are a time where the world can

come together for friendly competition and be amazed at what the human

spirit can accomplish. I mean I can't tell you how many Tik-Tocks of Simone Biles I've already cried over.

But... I've already cried over. But would you believe the Olympic Games don't have a squeaky clean history and that there's a lot of questionable decisions, cover-ups, and horrors that have occurred to make

the games what they are today.

Well, I'm sure you can believe that because this is heart starts pounding it's what you're here for

what have I told you that there was one Olympics where a mad scientist was allowed to run

wicked experiments on the contestants where players didn't just travel

from around the world to be there but they were kidnapped from their homes

dragged to the games and forced to compete.

Where the bodies of those who died at the games

were dug up and their brains stolen.

I know, it sounds fake.

It sounds like a strange conspiracy theory but I promise it's all true

Today I want to peel back the curtain for you a bit and shed light on the

1904 Olympic Games known as one of the darkest if not the darkest games in

history even though history has largely forgotten about them.

I've been sitting in the rogue detecting society headquarters, reading books and

old newspaper articles about these games, and I can't wait to share with you what I've found.

But first, before we get started, I wanted to give a quick shout out to everyone who has rated

and reviewed the podcast.
