Little Caesars is a name we don't know very well in Australia, but it's founder Mike Ilitch was a revolutionary in the world of fast food. He built an empire from one little shop, and would change the way many of us eat to this very day. He was also a very successful sports franchise owner and and even better ambassador for the city of Detroit. Listen this week as John takes Aaron and Sean through the story of Mike's rise to the top of the pizza world.

Most people think a plane crash is the worst thing that can happen on a flight, but what if you survived the crash only to find yourself isolated from the rest of the world, in the snow above the tree line, with only a few tins of mussels and chocolate for food. Well that's the awful situation that the survivors of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 found themselves in. Join Aaron as he takes us through another icky tale, with John and Sean suitably horrified at the things they hear. Find the video version on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@CheekyTalesPod

NASCAR has a history built on lawbreakers and innovation. That had to come from somewhere, and that's always going to come from the characters that have been part of the series from day 1. Join us this week as Sean takes us through the story of 3 of NASCAR's greatest kooks, the weird and wacky characters with their insane ideas and stories that helped to shape NASCAR to what it is today.

When you imagine a lake, I'm sure you think of a peaceful, quiet scene, maybe with a little boat floating along and some people fishing. While this lake was peaceful, it was for another reason altogether. This week John takes Aaron and Sean through the story of the Lake Nyos Burp.

The British are a stuck up bunch, especially back in the early 1900's. This man though, Horace, decided to take the piss a little bit. Listen this week as Aaron takes us through the story of the 1900's version of Punk'd, the story of Horace de Vere Cole. John and Sean definitely liked this guy and thought his pranks were first class.

Ever thought about the history of the convenience store? Well now you never have to, because we're diving into the history of 7-Eleven, our favourite slinger of Slurpee's. So grab a very, very cheap coffee, a pie from the warmer, a 4L soft drink, and settle in for a tale that somehow ends with Sean buying a hat for $1 in 2025.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLLLLL GAMMMMMEEEEE. Except it's the early 1900's, there's lead in everything, and you're about to watch some of the most unhinged sportsman there ever was.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is tell the truth. Maybe Richard Nixon should have learnt that in his younger years, as this week on Cheeky Tales Aaron takes us through the scandal that gave us the suffix '-gate'. Listen to all the bad decision after bad decision from a President that led to his resignation.
