Hi, and welcome everyone to History Dweeps. I am Tim. Welcome to the podcast where we take a lighthearted look at the dark side of history.

Today, we have a story from the Second World War. It's entitled Operation Mincemeat the man that never was. A story of Glendale

Michael, who lived a pretty unremarkable life, when you say so, Colonel? Yeah, he didn't, he wasn't

curing cancer or anything out there, Timmy. No, but in death, he changed the course of history.

So we're going to talk about this very interesting story from World War II.

But before we do, I would like to introduce my co-host.

Normally, of course, we're joined by the very lovely and talented Brandy.

But she is on a well-deserved vacation.

She went out of the range of her ankle bracelet,

and now she's paying the consequences.

Well, you have, you know, you don't do the crime.

Don't do the time if you can't do the crime or whatever that is.

And when they snap on those things on your ankle,

you got a 30-yard radius that you can go. And you go past that, it starts to be. She knows this. She's been on a bracelet before. Yeah. It's our own fault. But anyway, Brandy's not with us today. So we know that she has a lot of supporters out there. I don't know why. I don't know why. But she's very popular.

But you know what? People eat sourcrow, too, and I can't figure that out either,

Timmy. That's a good. That's a fair point. Yeah. So anyway, let me introduce the most dangerous man

in podcasting today, the really the moral compass of the podcast, a man who's been described as

an oasis in the desert

of despair, the very honorable, the Reverend Colonel Charles Bolrigard, Hawk Waters III,

affectionately known as the Southern gentleman. How are you today, Colonel?

I'm wonderful today, Timmy. I almost didn't come in here today. It was, I got up, it was stormy

and rainy, and I just thought, you know, today I'll stay in bed today it was i got up it was stormy and rainy and i just was thought you know today
