The Trilateral Troika

We reached episode 30. A lot of people didn't think we could do it, but here we are. With no further ado, please join us as we make a short foray into the Iran Contra, Jimmy Carter being the penultimate human second only to Fred Rogers, Bud Light Seltzer, and watch Ryan's blood pressure go up 30 points when Steve name drops Maggie Thatcher! Enjoy!

Today we discuss William Dudley Pelley, one of the original, if not the original, American fascists. His slow migration from hateful nazi grift to spiritually-aligned hateful grift rings a few bells, but we're talking the bottom of the barrel here folks. A real piece of garbage's piece of garbage. Also, phrenology, again, is wrong.. Enjoy!

So, we're not sure how, but we managed to recount Lin's death pretty early in the episode and then talk about it for 2 hours. We also discuss Rolling Rock, abandoned Chinese buildings, and traveling with a historical figure as luggage. ENJOY.

In this episode we discuss why it is a mistake, in warfare, to take the enemies sword and ascend a hill where there may or may not be guns pointing at you. We also discuss our favorite team on Legends of the Hidden Temple, the Aggrocrag, and Traumatic Brain Injury. Enjoy our nonsense for two hours!

In this episode we conclude our brief foray into the dread pirate Henry Every. We also discuss his Toyota Camry and it's dubious racing emblems, whether pirates used Turbo buttons on their MadCatz controllers, and Ryan's favorite car: The Suburbalade. Enjoy!

In this episode we discuss Henry Every, the mold for successful pirates. I spoil the Lord of the Rings for Ryan, we talk about visualization of the word "Caravan" and so much more EXCITING CONTENT, ENJOY!

This week we discuss the ridiculous organization known as the United Daughters of the Confederacy, A1 Steak Sauce, Truly vs. White Claw, and fail miserably at finding much joy. Be safe out there.

Today on The Trilateral Troika we discuss the inimitable T.E Lawrence, otherwise known by the pretty badass sobriquet, "Lawrence of Arabia." We also discuss Seabreeze vs. Capri Sun, the pain of camel-prostatitis, and yet another place Leon Trotsky was exiled from(Ryan is keeping a short list for us now.) Enjoy!

This week concludes our quick foray into the world of "secret" societies. We explore the ILLUMINATI, the Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones, and which sword is best to open Ryan's Amstel Light. Enjoy!

This week's episode is the first part of multiple episodes about a select few secret societies(which, parenthetically, are groups of a select few.) This week, Rosacrucians and Freemasons. Next week will be Part 3, as Part 2 was lost to agents of Bohemian Grove.

In this episode we discuss Cecil Rhodes. It should be episode 19, but we skipped it and now it's episode 20. World is a crazy place, enjoy! PLEASE SOCIAL DISTANCE.

In this, the second episode about the first crusade, we discuss the only successful crusade and it's conclusion. Pope Urban Meyer, Bouillon and his Cube, and Ryan switches to the hard stuff because we're stuck indoors and why not.

In this episode we talk about the First Crusade, improvised armor, and we rediscover ancient measuring systems based on the height of former NBA great, Muggsy Bogues. Enjoy!

Welcome back girls and boys, this week we're discussing the great French military figure and warrior Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, father of Alexandre Dumas. You've probably never heard of him, because Napoleon saw fit to attempt to erase him from formal history. Also because Napoleon was a hater, racist, egotistical madman. But that's for another episode - enjoy!

In this episode we talk about the glamorous and astoundingly talented Josephine Baker. Spy, movie star, music and fashion icon...CASTLE OWNER. The original diva, folks. She had dozens of talents, jobs, and adopted children as well. Pick a female artist, and she likely inspired them in some way. This week, we raise her one more glass of Goose Island IPA.

In this episode we discuss the remaining years of the Shah, Kermit the Frog makes several key appearances, and for some reason we keep dropping apropos professional wrestling references. Enjoy.

In this episode we discuss the Shah of Iran, Reza Shah, his son, some other guys , the Jersey Shore, Whitey Ford, and Hannibal from the A-Team.

Today we discuss:  The Taiping Rebellion  Sean P - RIP  Jaaaaaazz  Enjoy.

In the last episode of 2019 we talk about The Great Emu War, a war so ridiculous that it could only happen, and be lost, in Australia.  No but seriously, we love Silverchair and would not intentionlly crack on Australia...unless they lost a war to birds while having and utilizing machine guns.

It is well known that Leon Trotsky was fully aware of the V formation, and used it constantly to harass and harangue his opponents, until they exiled him from every situation in his life, including living itself. Don't believe me?  Listen to the podcast then. You'll see.

In this multi-part episode we discuss the life and times of Socialist/Marxist/Communist/SexMachine Leon Trotsky. Shortly after being exiled from his own Mother's womb, he was deported and/or exiled from every place he ever lived until he ended up in Mexico. But I'm getting ahead of myself, this episode only goes over the first 90 or so exiles.

This week we cover purveyor of hot takes and fresh vulgarity, Smedley Butler.  Originally given so many medals that he could no longer perform his duties and had to retire, he ended up writing a book.  That book purports that war is essentially run by Post Cereal in order to combat the evil General Mills.  This is why cereal is so expensive to this day.  Some of that was a lie, but nothing Smedley...

Essentially, either Gilles De Rais was one of the first serial killers, and a quite egregious one by the standards of any period of history, or it was a frame job and land grab by the church and other megalomaniacs to conveniently take advantage of a pretty stupid rich general who was just trying to finish his damn play. **The episode itself has 42% less run-on sentences.

In this episode, we talk about illegal homoerotic bowls, 53 miles of Catholic secrets, priapism, and some rather big throbbing museum SECRET COLLECTIONS.

Aliens look like Rick Moranis, trust us.
