Episode 605: The Tragedy of the Batavia Part I - Spice World

It's Dark History time this week as the boys set their sights on the high seas for a treacherous tale of mutiny, madness... and murder! We're traveling way back to 1628 for the tragedy of the Batavia and the story of the ship's doomed voyage from the Netherlands to Indonesia.

Henry goddamn nailed that prediction about the broccoli squads. Holy fuck.

[@NeedleandAwl]

You can visit a reconstruction of the Batavia in Lelystad (The Netherlands) and crawl all around inside of it. It’s pretty wild.

[@proofofmyexistence]

Omg Henry is excited and now I’m excited.

[@RasTex512]

I'm having one!!!😊

[@biglacheese7449]

So glad they’re doing the Batavia story, I learned about this series of very horrible events a while back and my first thought was how has last podcast not done a series on this

[@Adallace]

Listen to The Dollop podcast live show episode about Jan Pieterszoon Coen for more details about his life that help explain why he might have done some of the things he did. Dave suggests Jan plotted the massacre/genocide for many years, as revenge for certain events in his past. Given Jan's personality, I wouldn't put it past him. The worst part is he lives happily ever after.

[@sammyg4159]

Oh good recommendation. The Dollop is the best. But I don’t recall that episode. I’ll look it up. Thank you!

[@Coralnstuff]

If you look at old Roman maps you’ll see a visual representation of a Dutch rutter which were more or less just descriptions of how far and what general direction the next stop is.

In college we used to eat 'Space Paste' made of nutmeg and such and holy shit...

[@kalebyoung3510]

Is it psychedelic?

[@NikoBleau]

@kalebyoung3510 I'd say it wasn't terribly psychedelic, but the walls were weird, and the high was dirty. Conversation among my buddies who ate it was really good when we were all using it, but I would not recommend it. It felt like a robotrip in a lighter sense, but with more throwing up.

[@Kopi1198]

God damn you guys did it again excellent fuckin podcast boys. 😂

[@Eastsidestpaul55106]

Jumping for joy from this ep

[@1badombre82]

Warning! Do not just go eating a bunch of nutmeg because its easy to get the dose wrong and its not a fun high

[@sk8devilnite2012]

It's like bad acid with bad angel dust. It's horrible.

[@P6tt]

Thought they were finally addressing the Spice Girls movie "Spice world". Iv never fully recovered from watching it. They saved one of my eyes, my tongue is gone, but some people did alot worse to themselves.
