In this week’s episode, the fellas deep dive a case called The Robbery of the Century, how it went cold for decades, a disgruntled confessor who waited until the 11th hour, and the race to charge the culprits before the statute of limitations ran out. There’s also a heist ring-leader named Fats Pino, which we were definitely super mature about and absolutely did not turn into a series of penis jok...

In this week's episode, the boys are chatting about what happens when a remodeling project in the heart of Cappadocia, Turkey uncovers a millennia-old marvel that's been forgotten for generations.

In this, our first Monthly Mini in over a year, the fellas are talking a bit more about executions and the U.S. justice system in light of the recently botched execution of Christa Pike. Add to that the recent announcement that Nidal Hasan’s federal execution by firing squad will be live streamed and we’re left with some questions. Specifically, how much of this is punishment, how much is retribut...

There is too much Limp Bizkit in this episode.

In this week’s episode, the boys discuss the death penalty in the U.S. Why do we have it? Why don’t we use it more? Why don’t we use it less? What’s up with it going away in the 70s and then coming back? It’s all very confusing and convoluted… and sometimes things don’t go according to plan. Strap in and find out how we feel about it. 

In this week’s episode, the guys are talking about the clever and meticulous Friday Night Bank Robber. What made a troubled kid who had turned his life around return to a life of crime?

We don’t know the answers to these or any of the other questions in this episode, but we’re going to speculate rega...

In this week’s episode, the fellas talk about a pseudoscience that’s maybe a real science sometimes, but is also a pseudoscience most of the time, and we suddenly understand how so many people were driven mad in their alchemical pursuits… the shots of mercury are just a bonus. So join us for piss wizards, 6-cylinder platypus, and a less traditional recipe for making a baby. 

In this week’s episode, the boys are celebrating Labor Day and talking about their least favorite places to be forced into labor. What’s worse, an island, surrounded by jungles, and thousands of miles from home, or somewhere much closer to home, but with much more brutal work and awful history? The answer involves rodeos!

In this week’s episode, the guys are talking about how worldwide demand for guano impacted world markets. We’re heaping on piles of information about the folks who worked in the industry, from the guys who worked the guano fissures, to their very analytical bosses. There will be zero puns, we’re only talking about guano mining in continents where it occurred. 

In this week’s episode, the fellas are traveling the Eastern Mediterranean on the search for Sea People. Were they the cause of the end of the Bronze Age, were they just one of several factors, or were they just a symptom of a larger disease?  Written by Christopher Nolan

In week’s this episode, Riley and Patrick discuss the complexities of how marriage laws evolved through English colonial territories, survived revolution and independence, and became so ingrained that disassembling them became a massive boondoggle, requiring the Supreme Court to allow a quiet, kind, modest family to return to their home and raise their children. So join us for hot takes on Thomas...

In this week’s episode, the fellas hypothesize on how crazy it must have been to be the first people to find dinosaur bones. We also mispronounce almost every scientific name we come across. RIP Dr. Alan Grant, we’ll miss you.

We also talk a whole lot about blubber, seamen, Moby DICK, and SPERM whales... because, you know, that's our bread and butter, baby!

In this week's episode, the guys are bringing back Corporate Cults and talking about one real unlikeable fella. Come join us as we chant corporate mantras, attend weird conferences and summer camps, and inflate the ego of WeWork founder Adam Neumann. We definitely don't say anything negative about him or his incredible wife... we'd rather not be the subject of litigation, especially in light of ou...

In this week’s episode, the gang is getting into the slightly more modern history of psychiatry. We’re talking treatment methods that seem more cruel than competent and how psychiatric hospitals became bonafide diddle factories for people to sexually exploit the powerless. It’s not an easy topic to make jokes around, but we manage to find a way. 

In this week’s episode, the fellas are going way back in time to uncover the humble beginnings of psychiatry.

In this week’s episode, the guys are exploring the evolution of Cambodian rock n’ roll and its decimation after the overthrow of the government by the Khmer Rouge.

In this week’s episode, the fellas are celebrating 100 episodes by tackling the most abstract, convoluted topic in the history of the podcast. Also, Patrick gets drunk and Riley and Drew ridicule him instead of addressing his problem with compassion and understanding. Happy 100th episode!

In this week’s episode, the guys uncover what happens when small town politicians decide that the rules don’t apply to them and what happens when the people affected get fed up and take action.

In this week’s episode, the boys are celebrating Memorial Day in their own unique way, by telling the story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the tale of the men on board.

So take a moment and tip your cap to t...

In this week’s episode, the fellas are talking about one of the most incredible survival stories out there.
