Ever wondered about the unsung heroes and quirky tales hidden in the folds of history? Buckle up and join us, Smarticus and Phoenix, as we bring to light the incredible saga of Juliana the Great Dane, a four-legged combatant who sniffed out her spot in World War II history not once, but twice — all with the help of her bladder! This episode isn't just another walk through the history park; it's a gallop alongside the most unexpected of war heroes.

Strap in for a time-traveling taste test too, as we reminisce over a wartime dish that's as strange as it is scrumptious, marrying the comfort of grilled cheese with the custardy charm of French toast. It's a culinary relic from a time when rationing turned the kitchen into a battleground of creativity. As we munch on the past, Juliana's tail-wagging bravery reminds us that courage comes in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes, the most extraordinary stories are found on four legs, with a wagging tail, standing by a disarmed bomb. Join us for a heartwarming, hunger-inducing episode that's sure to leave you hungry for more — both in terms of history and snacks!
