#31-Bringer Of Barbarians- Boudica's Revolt 22.07.2025

PRE-WARNING audio quality isn't the best on this one folks. You can hear us fine but there's going to be some background noise for some reasons that are too boring to explain but it is, without question, our fault. Our bad, that'll get fixed. Either way, we hope you enjoy this (Lasts) week's episode about a Celtic tribe going barbarian on some Roman ass. (Pause) (23:40)- To go skip...

#30-Time To Get Creative- Operation Northwoods Ft.- Cooper Wiemann 11.07.2025

We know that we are living in the peak of governmental trust. We know that right now every American citizen full-heartedly trusts the U.S. federal government to preserve and protect their freedoms and ways of life now more than ever before, and political divisiveness seems to be a thing of the past. With all that in mind, we would like to remind you of a time where there was good reason to NOT tru...

#29-Should've Been A Cowboy- Teddy Roosevelt 03.07.2025

WE'RE BACK! We apologize profusely for the prolonged hiatus. The switch to in-person casting has been a disaster. We have no idea what we are doing. But alas, we are back up and running. Going forward, you will get some combination of the four hots in each episode, every typically either a Braden/Cody or a Cole/Ethan/Cody panel due to the crew living across the state from one another and Cody...

#27- Pink Pony Club- The Pony Express 10.04.2025

Bare with us through late and off-schedule posts (not that we've ever really kept one) as we transition to the holy realm of in-person podcasting, arm-in-arm with one another. Today, we talk about the Pony Express and how it wasn't all it's cracked up to be for the riders or the businessmen who ran it, how it got it's name, and why it only lasted 18 months. Thanks for listening and...

#26-Little Did This Dog Know- War of the Stray Dog 02.04.2025

A dog might have nearly started a war but they're not too sure and neither are we. Nobody knows much about this whole deal. I guess the Greeks stopped being so good at being historians at some point in time-but that won't stop us from talking about it. Join the Patreon! patreon.com/dontlookthisuppod

A medieval profession that proves that no matter what changes throughout history, farts will always remain funny. Join us on the Patreon this week as we discuss the odd relationship between The...

#23-Go-By-The-Wall-And-Tickle-The-Bricks- Violet Jessop 10.03.2025

The worst nickname you've ever heard, the best nickname you've ever heard, and an absolutely unsinkable lady. This one is what some would call, "an all-timer". By some, we mean us. We'd call it that. We compete against each other this week over on Patreon to determine who knows their accidental inventions the best. Join us. Or else. patreon.com/dontlookthisuppod

#22-Deps Versus Vets- The Battle of Athens 03.03.2025

Don't let the name fool you. We ain't talking Greece. This episode is all-American. We're talking the battle of Athens TENNESSEE. Cops vs vets. Thugs vs Nazi killers.

#19-Rizzy Rizzy Raz- Rasputin (Part 1) 10.02.2025

Hello everyone! We had to split this one into two parts so make sure to tune in next week for the rest of the story, Rasputin. He has quite the reputation, but should he? Was he truly the mystical, self-healing, stinky, sex pervert that all of the legends surrounding his history tell us he is? Maybe not. We'll decide. Let's get into it. Subscribe to the Patreon today to hear an extra histo...

#18-Monk Skat- The Erfurt Latrine Disaster Ft. Cole 03.02.2025

As the name implies, this is a shitty episode. Quite possibly our best work yet This was supposed to be a Patreon ep but decided to pull the switcharoonie so ignore references to it being the Patreon throughout the episode. Shout out Cole for being with us again this week. Also, join us over on the Patreon so you can still listen to the episode that was made for the regular this week, the insane s...

Personally, I think this may be an all time classic.

#14-Egg Whites and Rat Poison- The 1904 Olympic Games 04.01.2025

The 1904 Olympics were kind of the parody of what the Olympics are supposed to be, just kind of like this podcast is kind of a parody of a real history podcast. It's the perfect topic for us.
