Ok so the first prezzy prezzy candidate for 1884 is like... Possibly more rare than a unicorn! Not only is she a woman in 1800s politics, but like... She fought her way through law school too?? Impressive!
The final VP candidee of 1884 is just... My goodness what is he doing back here? Okay? I guess this is a REBROADCAST with the NEW INFO at the 9:39 mark!
This VP Candidate seems to have lived a fairly easy life, floating around the government as he preps for 1884...
These prohibition folks are STILL AT IT in 1884, and this next VP candidate is no exception, that's for sure!
This next 1884 VP candidate is rather unknown... But um. He DOES have a habit of changing allegiances so be careful around him...
The first VP candidate we're looking at for 1884 ALSO happens to be the first woman to ever run for VP... I mean, it only took a hundred years, but better late than never I guess!
Ok so for this final in-between-election episode some crazy man ate people and he's in court now in 1883 and like... I don't like him.
In this next in-betweener it's time for a cute little story about the invention of how generate electricity in ya household!
We are now getting into these in-between-election events! And things are already starting off crazy cuz there's some 1400 BCE stuff going on here!
We have arrived at the final official presidential potential for 1880 and this man's done some rather unusual things indeed!
The second-to-last 1880 Prezzy Wezzy candidee has experienced a great deal of recent history from a great number of vantage points all because of his reputation for being frighteningly reliable...
As these 1880 Prezzy Wezzy candidates wind down, we find ourselves ahead of our time somehow with this guy...
This presidential candidate for 1880 definitely has one of the stranger backstories regarding his motivations, or should I say primarily singular motivation...
The first prezzy wezzy candidate for 1880 we're looking at has a very weird, contradictory military history. I don't know what to do with him.
The final VP candidate we are looking at for 1880 has done some of the wildest political shenanigans I have seen in a long time... New York goes CRAZY bro!
As these VP candidates wind down we meet a dude who honestly is such a square that he's lucky he's from Indiana.
These 1880 VP Candidates are really turning out to be an unusual bunch, and BARZILLAI over here is no exception.
Yes it's another VP candidate for 1880 and uh... his qualifications are uh... Integral Calculus I Guess?
It's 1880 election season time! We must discuss! This first vp potential is a little weirdo who maybe bribed one person that one time? Maybe. It's conjecture.
There's always an insane number of wars with the natives happening. Literally at any point in the 1800s the US is warring with some local original residents over land... But let's check in on the situation anyways!
In our second in-between-election episode in this series, we discuss the one thing that unites ALL New Englanders... storm season, for some reason... I don't make the rules!
It is time for the first in-between-election episode of 1877 and MY GOODNESS some of the CRAZIEST things have been happening in Pennsylvania! What in the world?!
The 1876 election is UPON US, and my goodness, the flames of conflict in this one feel... scarily familiar.
Here we are! The final Prezzy Wezzy cadlidee before the 1876 election! This dude sure seems to be a mover and a shaker...
This next Prezzy Wezzy Candidate for 1876 has one of the... WILDER stories I've read in a WHILE okay?
We are starting to wind down on these 1876 Presidential Potentials and this man? This man is why New York is the way it is when people have good things to say about New York.
Alright, it is time to begin discussing the major presidential pieces of this 1876, and this first guy... He's just kinda here isn't he?
We have made it to the final VP potential of this 1876 saga! Somehow he's flown under the radar the whole time for all this chaos, which baffles me, but hey, let's take a closer look!
Ok, this second-to-last VP candidate for 1876 still seems to be riding gloriously on the wave of a deceased predecessor. Yeah. I wonder if that'll work out for him. Anyway, this is a REBROADCAST with the NEW INFO at the 7:40 mark!
Alright, it's 1876, and this next VP candidate just kinda popped up outta nowhere so let's find out what his deal is!
Yes, we have ARRIVED at the 1876 election, and yes, we're starting to look at some strange VP candidates once again! Here's to hoping these folks have their act together this round...
OK! For this final in-betweener we're talking about BUGS BRO!! BUGGY BUGGED BUGS! They're EVERYWHERE!
Literally look down at whatever you're typing on right now and I'll tell you the 1800's history of why you're forced to type that way.
With another riveting election behind us, it is time to begin the next series of in-between-election episodes, and Oh! It seems the women have had ENOUGH!
Goodness Gracious! What a journey! We've finally made it to the 1872 election after covering a small parade of candidates! And for an election that was a runaway easy win, there sure are a LOT of SURPRISING DEVELOPMENTS...
Well, what do we have here? The FINAL contender for this rockin' 1872 prezzy wezzy election? Oh, it's THAT man? What has he been up to as the cucumber of this one? I bet this REBROADCAST will serve as a wild refresher before you're hit with the NEW INFO at the 39:39 mark!
I think we are truly getting close to the end of this 1872 candidate marathon. I really do. But fools like this one coming out of the woodwork to be a prezzy wezzy candidate does not help matters.
This particular prezzy wezzy candidate for 1872 has a history of being like, arguably the most powerful man in America?? The dude's so powerful that everyone is hanging on his every word to the point where it's probably gonna get him in trouble later!
It's still 1872 and we're STILL going through some presidential potentials and I forgot this man even existed and of course when he comes back he's still committing inconsequential acts of unnecessary tomfoolery.
We are still tumbling on through this 1872 election with all its presidential potentials in tow, and this next guy is... Quite a guy!
This Prezzy Wezzy candidate for 1872 has quite the unusual backstory and quite the legal resume too!
We are finally getting into the Presidential Suite of this 1872 election here and some Prohibitionist snuck into the room how did that happen? Aren't we like 40 years early?
I am nothing less than astounded by the story of this final 1872 VP Candidate. This man was thinking BEYOND freedom and BEYOND just abolition. This dude would have fit right in for the 1960s. That's crazy to me!
Ah yes! The second-to-last vice principal potential for 1872! As we near the end of this VP conga, we get a... rather refreshing look at a man a head of his time.
On this next episode of Garbled Twistory, it's another 1872 VP candidate! (I promise, we're in the home stretch here!) And this dude? He's firmly nothing unusual, buster! Well except for the whole "surviving Antietam" thing how did he do that?
Ok, we are still sorting through all these 1872 VP potentials but whoa this guy's back?! We got a real ahead-of-his-time radical here! Wow. Enjoy this REBROADCAST with the NEW INFO at the 5:38 mark!
We talk about a LOT of racist people on this podcast, but rarely is that the SPECIFIC and ENTIRE reason behind changing political parties. This 1872 VP Candidate is here to CHANGE that history...
Ok! Another VP candidate coming right up! And boy oh boy, this man has some drastic measures for these drastic times!
Here we are! ANOTHER VP potential is stepping up to the plate for this 1872 election! This man comes from some humble beginnings... Which is unusual actually. But will the humility carry over?
Yes, it's another VP candidate for 1872. Yes, he does show up outta nowhere. Yes, there will be more! What is the deal with these frat bros?

This last prezzy wezzy candidate for 1868 is one of the strangest political anomalies I've ever read about. On the surface, this seems like a typical war hero story. But when you look under the hood, there's a lotta different stuff happening I think!

It is 1868 and we have yet another riveting election on our hands! And if this first VP candidee is any indication of how everybody's doing post-Civil War... Honey, you've got a big storm comin'!
It's 1867 and in this final in-between-election episode EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE in the locomotive industry because well... Yeah. A THING happened.
This second in-between-election episode covers one of the silliest "archeological finds" I've ever read about. This is not the hill to die on, and yet! Some still do! Some still do...
It's time for our first in-between-election episode covering 1865 and YOU LISTEN HERE BUSTER! AND LISTEN WELL! Just because the Civil War has ended doesn't mean folks are done firing guns at each other! In fact, out west??? It's QUITE THE CONTRARY!
Here we are! actively at yet another precipice of fate! For the second time in the nation's history, the US is given the task of picking a new CEO in the midst of active company warfare! Who will the new CEO be? Will they even be new? The tension is in the air!
It's the 1864 US Election and THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND, IS BACK!! And this incumbent is making some power moves with this REBROADCAST that has the NEW INFO at the 21:25 mark!
Ok now, this 1864 prezzy wezzy candidee is a WHOLE military general, so expect this episode to be filled with a stupid amount of juicy, spicy, PETTINESS!
The final VP Candideee we're looking at for this 1864 election is a man that whose existence in the history of the United States of America demonstrates so many contradictory forces at play all at once! Indeed, what a confounding figure...
Ok, I know what you're thinking... The country is at war with itself quite literally how in the world are we even still having elections right now?! And, well, I dunno. But we DID and we have a VP candidate right here trying to run at probably the most politically stupid time to run against the sitting Admins but you do you bro!
Yes, it's the final in-between-election episode of 1863, and, while the men are at war, the women are feeling particularly neglected and unheard down south...
It's time for the second in-between-election episode covering 1862! And WHOA NELLY, we have a pretty wet and sticky SITUATION on our hands!
Here we are! The first in-between-election episode after 1860! And! Well! Captain America Civil War seems to be all anyone can think about right now, so in a rare twist of events. we MUST stay abreast with the political news! That said, this incident is still pretty weird.
The nineteenth US Prezzy Wezzy Election is upon us! Yes. It is 1860! And this is the point where over a half-century of tension is going to explode. My goodness, things are about to get TURBULENT!
Yes. Here we are. The final prezzy wezzy potential for 1860! And man oh man! As far as candidates go, he's arguably the most climactic one of all!
The second-to-last Prezzy Wezzy Potential for 1860 just so happens to be a man we've discussed quite thoroughly before, so this will be a REBROADCAST with the NEW INFO at the 21:16 mark! And man, this is quite the spicy update if I don't say so myself!
This is one of those kinds of politicians that absolutely refuses to be steamrolled by ANYBODY. But will he make a formidable 1860 Presidential Potential? We shall see...
This first Prezzy Wezzy Candidate for 1860 is looking extra spicy I say! Extra spicy! Do I hear inter-country cannons in the distance? Yes. Yes I do.
The final VP Candidate was not super remarkable but um... He's got a weird name as well as a WEIRD birth story so it's interesting how he was still kinda basic.
The second-to-last VP Candidate for 1860 is quite an interesting case... The lack of lawyer-like pedigree is surprising for this fellow... But hey, the mouth of a merchant is quite magical!
The second VP candidate for 1860 is another newcomer! But it sure seems he's been around the block... Well, many blocks... This guy seems a little unreliable in the grand scheme of things, doesn't he?
Ok! We're talking about the first VP Potential for 1860 and uh... He's borderline entirely unremarkable. No really. If he didn't have money, nobody would care.
For this third and final in-between-election episode! We discuss the biggest discount sale in the United States. Oh, the product? Oh. Um. Not one we should be proud of that's for sure.
