Unbelievable!

Luis tells Kurt about a nascent seismological institute and how its aspirations were dashed by the humble rumblings of sheep, as well as the strangest precipitation recorded in US history. Spoiler alert: it's not vegan.

Kurt tells Luis about one of humanity's biggest 'oopsies' and its crazy solution & the party that ended both an era and several careers.  PLUS: Bonus boat content! And stick around later for some bonus snake oil content!  Special thanks to Lucas Cornine, Iván Cano, and Jim & Paula Danner!

It's a spy thriller this episode! Luis tells Kurt about two extraordinary spies of the mid-20th century: a sexy Spanish bullfighter takes on fascism, and a Serb that traveled all through Europe in a distinct "loose and easy manner." Content warning: there's a LOT of J. Edgar Hoover slander in this episode.

It's time to get spooky! In this special Halloween episode Kurt tells Luis about the brutal murders that shook Victorian Cambridge, and the author/med student/restaurant critic who tasted freedom. Both of the stories, and some of Luis's comments on the ethics of eating people, have a very "seemed like a good idea at the time" kind of feel to them. 

Luis tells Kurt about a Czech business owner who gave up a life in the adult industry for a life... in the adult industry? This episode we also talk about the land dispute for an island of the coast of the Americas. "The Maldives?" I hear you asking. Oh no no no. This is its (frankly, dumber) prequel that everyone forgot about.

It's the first episode of a new season and the celebration is in full swing! Kurt tells Luis about the accidental genius that tricked the internet, and a strange experiment that led to an even stranger court case.  Luis spends most of the episode flirting with cancellation like it's Natalie Portman, meanwhile Kurt can't seem to stop making jokes about psychology in the 60s. Neither of the boy...

A special guest tells Kurt and Luis about the Persian slave whose beautiful singing voice made him a cultural icon, and a magic man with a drastic plan to save an empire. Legit! It's all about the liquids! Plates!!

Kurt takes a well-deserved break as special guest and Queen of the Southwest Elaina Richards ("In Other News...") tells Luis two rootin', tootin' stories from the great Arizona plains, from giving the Catholic Church the finger, to trying to survive in the desert without water. Very sandy, very fun. 

Oh boy is there a lot going on in this episode! Kurt tells Luis about two female pirates who plundered, pillaged, and girl-bossed their way through the Caribbean, while Luis tells Kurt about the dark (but tasty) origins of a famous Mexican food. Also the boys play some end-of-season games, and the fate of this season's loser is determined.

Luis tells Kurt all about the best bromance in the Classical Roman world, as well as the invention of gunpowder and the explosive (ha!) religious ceremonies that involved this magical go bang bang powder. Mind you, there's plenty of penis talk this episode, and yet, surprisingly little devolution into playground humor.

Kurt tells Luis about the lucky idiot who accidentally gamed early-American currency, the global trade network, and the whalebone market, and an inventor with some very conflicting achievements. Also, the phantom of the pod has struck again already! Somehow he managed to make Luis forget that he needed to buy a new mic cable! Again!

Luis tells Kurt a tale of how one man's ailment is another man's biological weapon, how maybe just maybe the moon landing was actually a hoax (NOT clickbait!) This is an episode full of scheming, so if you're not into mild mischief, the door's right there, chief.

Kurt tells Luis about the strange and wonderful history of an Ohio convention center, and the old-timey pitcher who was too weird for baseball. In other news, the boys break their 1 episode streak of getting through a full recording with no audio problems.

Luis tells Kurt about one man's religious journey to single-handedly legitimize polygamy by raising bulls, and the very strange reason why Presidents hold so much power (here's a hint: it's guns and sex).

In this very special episode, Kurt and Luis are back together in person again. To celebrate, we've chosen some of the rejected story ideas from the last ten episodes and compiled a "best of the rest" episode.  In this episode, all stories are true, and no deliberation will take place. So sit back, grab a drink, and join us as we dive deep into some of the most Unbelievable stories we've yet t...

Kurt takes Luis down the rabbit hole (gross!) to learn about the pregnancy that captivated 18th century England, and the original crazy cat lady who girl-bossed her way through ruling an empire. Also Luis appears to know more details about Kurt's stories than Kurt (twice!). For pictures and bonus content check out our social medias!

Luis tells Kurt about a French duel that reached new heights, and a ring awarded to German actors that may hold a sinister curse. 

Kurt tells Luis about a cult leader who had some fishy medical practices, and the mind-reading future-predicting dog that became a midwest legend. Also, due to some audio mishaps, Kurt sounds like he's podcasting from inside a fish tank (oops), meanwhile Luis gives way too much information about butts (again).

Luis tells Kurt how Mexico's Declaration of Independence was stolen, returned, lost, found, and burned (Bingo!) and about the surgery that was all the rage in 17th century France. Editor's note: Kurt's audio is a bit faulty this episode. Forgive him Lord, for he knows not how to turn on his microphone during recording.

Kurt tells Luis about one of the most prolific criminal masterminds of all time, and two gold miners who had a VERY bad road trip. Luis struggles to remember the name Paul, while Kurt attempts to explain Bitcoin and the Rhodesian Bush War in five sentences or less.

Luis tells Kurt about the tried and true military practice of crying with the boys, and how archaeological integrity went out the window in favor of "it just looks cool."

Kurt tells Luis about a strange missing persons case, and the prohibition era bootlegger feud that left a permanent mark on southern culture. Both Luis and Kurt get canceled for their lack of knowledge of Mexican history

Luis tells Kurt about a fisherman using music to lure in his catch of the day, and a never-ending billow of black smoke that led to a war for the papacy.

Kurt tells Luis about the priceless book that led to a multigenerational scandal and the woman who accidentally infected thousands of New Yorkers with typhoid.

Luis tells Kurt about a man who tried to preserve a crumbling empire to get with a married woman, and a Roman emperor who was too fabulous for his own good.
