Let's be honest. History is full of f*cked up sh*t. But what are we gonna do, pretend like it never happened? Have a drink with your host, actor and writer Will Sterling, and his more qualified former Presidential Speechwriting co-host, Dr. Craig Smith. They unpack the silly, salacious, scandalous, and serious stuff in history. If we don't learn from the past, we're doomed to repeat it. So let's at least try to do it with honesty and, wherever possible, a laugh.

The Suez Canal

Third rate joke.
For guys who tell third rate jokes, you would know. Didn’t hear your comment, but my skin is rather thick. And no…as of when you first mentioned my comment…yoi did not have it…you were close…but no cigar! My nicknames for folks are more clever than you think. As my name for him conveys who he is, and what his minions are…terrorists.
