This is the last episode and the audio us a little weird. Sorry!
Thanks to all our listeners who've been here since the beginning. If you want the episodes for some sick reason send us an email and I'll send them to you or maybe I'll post them YouTube sometime? I dunno I'm a really busy guy get off my back.
FINALLY BACK IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER! Boy have i missed it. This is a hot ass ep coming right o the dome baby.
Everything was bad before but now everything is worse because 9/11. That's the gist of the 'sode.
I can't think of a fun witty description today since my brain is completely melted. I hope you like the episode though its pretty laid back back this week (but in a fun way not a boring way).
The holy triumvirate is reunited again, AJ got his brain fixed and is ready to podcast once more with the fellas.
A hot and loose ep with your favorite boys! This week we talk about the Georgia Guidestones, The Far Side, Ronald Reagan, and maybe we even find out once and for all who shot JR!
I had to work my audio magic on this one because AJ doesn't know how to keep his headphone jack in. But all in all I think it sounds good!
On this ep we talk about Hungary, Roman Polanski, Love Canal, and the Camp David Accords!
This week we talk about the Commodore PET, Fleetwood Mac, Star Wars (of course), and much much more!
A late day ep that is a big slow to start but boy do we pick up a roll (and then quickly lose it again).
Today we talk about the multiple Gerald Ford assassination attempts, Rocky Horror Show, and MKUltra!
We are giving you what you want, more watergate! Plus the oil crisis and also too much talk about Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Hot off the presses! Another banger episode. Today we talk about DB Cooper, The Pentagon Papers, Corey Feldman and much much more!
This year we talk about the moon, Sirhan Sirhan, The Altamont Free Concert, and the Chicago Eight!
The Greasome Threesome hit it with another big ass year. today we talk about the Tet Offensive, the RFK assasination, the MLK assassination, and much much more!
OK my mic was way to hot. I understand that and I'll take it in stride. BUT I want you (the listener) to know that I threw on my robe and wizard hat to work some audio sorcery to make it 10%, dare i say, 15% better. Also Emma was on this year!
OK so this episode is VERY info heavy. lots of content that is interesting but not necessarily fun. listeners be warned!
We go over the Kennedy assassination (number 1), the CIA, The Feminine Mystique, and the March on Washington!
Lexi and I finally got together in the apartment we share to talk about the only thing that we ever talk about
I edited this on my TV in the living room since i was playing Yakuza 0 out here last night and forgot to breakdown my set up.
Theyre sounding better and better but I can't wait to finally see the boys again face to face
Even in times of quarantine the boys get together via the web to record a pod for you, the beloved fan.
I don't know what happened on this episode but I'm about 50% more spacey than normal... Either way its a good 'sode. hope you enjoy!
Another long long long sode this week but also CJ reworked the game to better favor AJ since I kept winning.
Ho ho ho! Lexi the Christmas Elf takes us on a journey through the development of American Christmas traditions. As always, I don't know how to edit or record so don't get mad at me.
Happy holidays everybody, we'll be back with 1933 on New Year's Day. My predictions for the Christmas Day games: Boston over Toronto, Milwaukee over Philly, Houston over Golden State, Lakers over Clippers, Denver over New Orleans. Thanks!
Forgot it was my job to upload this. No intro music because I do not have it. Bad editing because I do not know how to do it
two in a row ON TIME. that's a new record. This year we talk about particle accelerators, the scottsboro boys, iron lungs, and Rockefeller square!
Couldn't think of a fun little description for this one but its a good ep. check it out and rate us on iTunes. If anymore people give us a sub-par rating I might lose my shit.
Sorry it's just me this time, someone had to go on vacation. Audio is maybe 3% hotter than I would like. My bad.
We've got yet another new game for you all! Also CJ still hasn't learned to speak into the mic but give him time people.
We brought games back as a reoccuring segment! watch us struggle through the first round of War Games in over a year on this piping hot new ep
AJ's new house has bad echo but I did the best to limit it. Sorry for the late upload, Dig in little piggies.
Will we ever get rid of CJ? Will I ever make more three person games? Will AJ ever stop bitching? find out all this and more on this weeks episode.
listen to me fumble even more than usual on this episode we did on the day I got hit in my brand new car. Good episode none-the-less even though it's AJ and guest heavy and lacking the star of the show (me).
A.J. rambles for a little bit about 19th century Europe, what was going on with the relevant countries in the lead up to World War 1, and that's about it actually
We got a long one folks! today we talk about the Lusitania, Haiti, and an attempted German terrorist attack!
Sorry its late! AJ and I both had shit to do but don't worry, here's your new episode little piggies. eat up!
Today we discuss the Woolworth building, Grand Central Station, and a little thing called modern art! Plus AJ says some bullshit too
Once again AJ ruined the episode. First by bitching out on our usual coffee/pizza date, and next by being low energy and on his phone.
This ep we talk about Scatman Crothers, the Speaker of the House, more Lakeview Gusher news, and of course I really rib A.J. good on this one.

The boys are back to their old tricks! Another great ep hot off the press for our loving and adoring fans.
I gave AJ the job of doing the notes alone for the fist time in probably a year and instead he didn't do them. So if you think this episode is bad please direct all angry messages to https://twitter.com/ajcurry_
Not our best work but certainly not our worst. On this one we dive feet first into the Spanish-American war and the earliest forms of American Imperialism!
A classic ep where we talk about unions, William McKinley, Mark Twain, and the ooooooooold Klondike gold rush (prospector voice).
konnor fell into a woodchipper so I have to upload the episode this time. and also he couldn't record so I had to do an impression of him the whole time. while I was doing that alone I hit crucial topics like Plessy v. Ferguson, the rise of William Jennings Bryan, and the fall of William Jennings Bryan!
So I bet you're wondering why the intro music is Christmas themed right? Well, I still don't have my battle station set up and instead of NOT having an intro for our loving fans I decided to use the music we were going to use on our Christmas ep but later scrapped the episode entirely.
I had to edit this one on the fly with my MacBook because my battle station is all packed up in boxes so give me a break okay. No it doesn't have the intro music and I'm sorry but there are SOME good points!
I was pretty tired doing this one so bear with me. This episode we talk about Edison, the Worlds Fair, and some other also interesting stuff I don't remember. Just listen to it its a good one!
On this 'sode we go over unions, women's suffrage, and Nellie Bly's amazing trip around the world in 72 days. Plus a little bit more!

Today we talk about Anne Sullivan, the Dawes Act, the Marx Brothers and much much more!
On this episode we learn about May Day, Chinese racism, and the a little drink called Coca-Cola! Also I was extremely exhausted so this is an A.J. heavy episode, sorry!
Two things to remember when listening to this episode: 1) YOU the listener is not allowed to call me short 2) this episode might be "loose" because it was finals week and big daddy dog (me) had a job interview as well.
