Norman Ohler is a historian and author of "Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich," a book that investigates the role of psychoactive drugs, particularly stimulants such as methamphetamine, in the military history of World War II. It is a book that two legendary historians Ian Kershaw and Antony Beevor give very high praise to for its depth of research. Norman also wrote "Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age", and he is working on a new book "Stoned Sapiens" looking at the history of human civilization through the lens of drugs.

Irving Finkel is a scholar of ancient languages and a longtime curator at the British Museum, renowned for his expertise in Mesopotamian history and cuneiform writing. He specializes in reading and interpreting cuneiform inscriptions, including tablets from Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian contexts. He became widely known for studying a tablet with a Mesopotamian flood story that predates the biblical Noah narrative, which he presented in his book "The Ark Before Noah" and in a documentary that involved building a circular ark based on the tablet's technical instructions.

In this episode of Dropping Bombs, entrepreneur and volunteer firefighter Patrick Henson shares his journey from burnout to building a growing blue-collar empire.

Patrick opens up about hitting rock bottom while working 100-hour weeks, drinking to cope, and reaching a point where he thought everyone would be better off without him. Then a random clip from Shawn Ryan's podcast changed everything. It led him to a five-day ibogaine and DMT experience in Mexico that reset his mind, killed his ego, and gave him a level of gratitude he never knew was possible.

He breaks down what it's actually like to experience “death” on DMT and the profound gratitude he now feels daily. Plus, how he went from being a prisoner in his own business to acquiring multiple companies and scaling the right way.

If you've ever felt like something in your life needed to change, this episode will light a fire under you.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers straight talk on the peptide boom with Tyler Pucci, the high-school dropout turned door-to-door sales phenom who built one of the largest solar sales organizations in the country before walking away to found Peptiva Health.

Tyler breaks down why most peptide sellers are hiding behind a "research-only" FDA loophole to move untested, knockoff product, the real science behind compounds reversing obesity and cognitive decline, and how he turned his own health transformation into a licensed, DEA-approved operation people can't stop reordering from.

If you're putting anything into your body without knowing where it actually came from, this episode could save you from a very expensive mistake. Listen before you buy another vial from a guy named Steve.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Michael Lush, the founder who spent nearly two decades in the mortgage industry before realizing the system was designed to keep Americans in debt — and decided to do something about it.

Michael breaks down why your 30-year mortgage is costing you hundreds of thousands in unnecessary interest, how most homeowners can pay off their home in 5 to 7 years using a strategy banks quietly use themselves, and why nobody in the industry ever told you this existed.
