    BONE WARZ!!!!

    In this episode, we get to hear the deep and meaningful Lax grunt. It says multitudes. Also Coonen reveals something utterly surprising: He was a bad student! Can you believe it? But more importantly, Dr. History (Not a real doctor) tells us the epic story of too insufferable rich white men who fight over each others’ bones. Dinosaur bones!…Ahem…dinosaur bones. Suffice to say the immature humor abounds. ENJOY!

    Crusade-apalozza featuring the Loan Temple God-Knights: The Rise, Battles and Fall of the Knights Templar

    It has been a minute but boy do we have a whopper for you. This episode we cover the Knights Templar, continuing our journey though the amazingly weird world of medieval shenanigans. Dr. History tells a bleak tale about crazy ass holy knights that are as badass as they are insanely fanatical. A real zeal team six. Lax doesn't hit the mic stand due to edging . Coonen pretends to know things but most likely is miss-remembering a storyline from an expendables movie. Enjoy!

    Popes on the Ropes: Pope Power vs Actual Power

    Well its been a couple of months, but we are back with an extra long one. You wanna know about medieval/mission impossible type scenarios, except dumber? Did you know whispering like god into someone's room does actually work sometimes, not just in sitcoms? Did you know Adam C. THINKS he can do accents but is actually terrible at it? Then this is the episode for you! Also, Adam Lax's Jewish mind is blown by the catholic-ness of it all. Adam C. has way too many tangents (we get it d-bag you know stuff kinda sometimes). Enjoy!

    You Got To be King'in Me: The War of the Roses

    We got a listener question!!! Well we get lots, so so so many. But this question from a listener was especially good so we did an episode about it. Turns out the war of the Roses had nothing to do with The Bachelor. Lax sends princes up to the prince farm to frolic with the other princes. Coonen switches accents so fast he has a stroke and Dr. History can barely keep it together.

    Teddy Roosevelt: T.R. Governs Harder Than Anyone Part 2

    More T.R.!? You know it. Dr. History Scholar's man crush becomes governor of New York. We find out you can be a naive about politics but still win. Turns out no one likes it when civil servants are merit based. Who Knew. Turns out Lax really doesn't like the business class be because he doesn't like insider trading. i.e. FREEDOM. And Coonen has theories about how often T.R.'s wife sat on his lap. Enjoy!

    Teddy Roosevelt: T.R. Governs Harder Than Anyone Part 1

    This episode is all about T.R, fresh off whipping some Spaniards, runs for office. Coonen decides Bill Clinton, sounds like either John Wayne or Christopher Walken. Lax continues to hate Coonen's voice work and Dr. History goes to a French war museum that teaches him nothing because he knows it all. Enjoy!

    The Norman Conquest (Part 4): The North Gets Real Harried

    Hello Fans! This episode is a real one. Turns out getting harried isn't nearly as fun as it sounds and the Anglo-saxons really find out. Also, Lax admits that Coonen's Swedish accent makes him die on the inside, Dr. History tells us a bit about Nazis and NASA and Coonen decides that everyone needs to know what smegma is. Spoilers/trigger warning, Its gross. Enjoy!

    The Norman Conquest (Part 3): God! Win Son! The End of A Harold

    This episode is a fun romp through the battle of 1066. The proverbial shit hits the fan for Herald Godwinson. Spoilers, it doesn't end great. Adam C. is apparently depressed and, Adam Lax is all happy to root for his favorite football team. The Washington Commies. And Dr. History moral scholar has trouble talk about death and sex, But this time its both at the same time! Enjoy!
