    Poririo Díaz

    We know it’s spooky season, but what’s spookier than the entrenched power of bourgeois capital bleh, vampire voice! Also, Brian can’t read a calendar. Anyway, we’re joined by special guest Byron Graham, talking about the life and regime of Porfirio Díaz, whose policies led to the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution. Zach delivers an unbelievable fact about Con Air, Byron discovers a severe form of revenge, and Brian channels and slanders Freddy Kreuger.

    A Brief History of Mexico

    We’re back from our Summer sabbatical and we’re kicking off with a new kind of episode! Before we launch our Mexican Revolution miniseries in a couple weeks, we’re getting caught up with thousands of years of Mexican history with special guest Jose Macall. Zach diagnoses Brian, Jose deals in southern real estate, and Brian has found a new bummer. NOTE: we had to use the Zoom backup audio for this recording and, as a result, Jose’s audio is a bit distorted. Apologies for the diminished quality.

    Jean Laffite

    We’re back, yarrrrr! And we dug up friend of the show the hilarious Mitch Jones to help us talk about famous pirate and also total sack of crap Jean Laffite (and his equally crappy but more boring brother Pierre)! Zach draws historical parallels to an SNL star, Mitch calls in the aid of the dolphins, and Brian gives us the Avengers of American jerks. Reach out today with your comments, questions, and more!
