## Resource

Did you know the Secret Service was originally created to hunt down counterfeiters, not protect the President? To celebrate America's 250th birthday, Tyrus and Harry share 4 of the wildest, underrepresented stories from American history!In this exclusive episode of Planet Tyrus, the guys trade their usual headlines for premium Americana storytelling. They break down the tactical genius of the WWII "Ghost Army" that used inflatable tanks and fake audio to outsmart the enemy , the bizarre and tragic 1919 Boston Molasses Flood that changed structural engineering forever , and the bureaucratic proofreading delay that pushed our Independence Day celebration from July 2nd to July 4th. It’s a hilarious look at how American ingenuity and a few historical accidents shaped the greatest nation on earth.
