This week Aaron treats the lads to the far out ideas of John Kellogg, from his progressive ideas about diet, cleanliness and exercise to his problematic notions about sex, genetics and masturbation prevention through genital mutilation!
This week Johnboy assembles a team of vengeance-driven eccentric characters from the recent past, including a 60s femme fatale film star, an abused-child-turned-abuser-hunter and a man with a chip on his shoulder, meth in his system, and the know-how to wage a one man war on the town that let him down!
This week Matt tells the lads about the delusional, lazy, universally-loathed narcissist who failed his way through several industries before landing in Republican politics - failing at that as well - and trying to finally attain success as the assassin of President Garfield!
In the finale of Matt’s Crispo saga, we see drug paranoia mixed with the heights of access, sycophantic sadists and power play into cruel sexual fantasies that lead to a dark crime that bears little justice and darker implications for society as a whole. Plus Joe Kaye!
This week we are joined by fan favorite Joe Kaye to begin exploring the tale of the orphan who ingratiated himself into the elite world of art during a time when gay culture was burgeoning in New York City and Andrew was keeping business fast and loose!
In light of recent events we revisit an old patreon media episode: Our friend Nisa Ward joins us to talk about being duped into appearing in O.J. Simpsons’s TV prank show and John fills in with background on Juiced, the strangest and trashiest television show ever created.
This week Johnboy shares the story of “Bumpy” Johnson’s rise to power in the world of crime, taking on established Jewish and Italian gangsters, entertaining fame, women, celebrity and prison time after starting as a small plucky kid who might just cut your face!
This week the lads collide with another smorgasbord of clips from the halls of miscellany with odd ads from Jack In The Box, a far too open interview with Vincent Gallo, Orson Welles remembering his time with Churchill and so much more!! Links to all media available on Patreon.
This week Aaron concludes the biography of Jack “The King” Kirby with his trading talent to Marvel and DC, creating too many iconic heroes and villains to count and playing a pivotal role in an international spy ruse that saved American lives!
This week Aaron enthralls the lads with the beginnings of the comic book legend who came from immigrant parents to selling millions of copies of his creation Captain America before being drafted into the Second World War and returning to comics and finding himself at the mercy of exploitative publishers once again!
This week Johnboy treats the lads to the tale of London’s earliest policing, which was run by a stolen goods thief and fence who secretly organized theft into a scam that saw victims and thieves taxed alike to his benefit, before a rogue thief and routine prison escapee beloved by the public brought his reign to a bitter end!
We had to take this week off, so we decided to drop an old patreon episode if anyone wanted to get a sense of what those episodes are like! This one is the introduction of some of our favorite characters... "We talk about a bad date and some Russian opera, but this one is really dominated by a couple of Southern Gentlemen."

This week Matt tells the boys of the saga of the Von Erich family of wrestlers from their heights in international superstardom to their downfall laden with tragedy chronicled in the motion picture The Iron Claw!
This week Matt treats the lads to the story of a chimney repairman, or steeplejack, chronicled by the BBC in Northern England who became a national celebrity for his nerve, stubbornness, ingenuity in steam technology and resonance with the public in the shifting times of Britain economically, culturally and politically as a total weirdo!
This week Johnboy continues the saga of the left-wing demagogue of Louisiana first as he ascends to the US Senate and pushes FDR to go further with the New Deal by next entering the Great Depression era political fray by running as a presidential candidate while keeping an iron grip on Louisiana affairs that pushes political opponents to openly call for his assassination!
This week Johnboy tells the lads about a poor boy from Louisiana who saw poverty and injustice as a youth and single-handedly built a political movement that would begin to rapidly transform the state the minute he became governor - but is his grip on power too tight?
This week the boys are back with a slew of clips and media miscellany once again and we’ve got the exclusive on a new Spider-Man movie that leans explicit, the skinny on the subversive art of Melrose Place, a film littered with big cats mauling the actors and so much more!
This week Aaron enthralls the lads with the story of a bodyguard of Hitler who went on to liberate Mussolini from imprisonment and engineer Nazi commando operations before the post war era would see him conduct operations on behalf of the Israelis!
This week handsome Matt brings us the tale of the legendary Wild West lawman Bat Masterson, from his beginnings in Buffalo hunting to the 20th century boxing ring with the legendary myths of his days as a man on both sides of the law leading to only more questions of right and wrong and power and freedom to befuddle us all!

voices sound different.
It’s John Lister who found the the diaries and decodes it don’t know where you get Charles from lol
Left out a ton of explosive revelations uncovered in Tom O'Neils Operation Chaos book, where he found lost Sydney files at UCLA never before uncovered about successful Manchurian candidate situations. A soldier patient who murdered someone without memory, his involvement with Jack Ruby's breakdown, and Charles Manson. And Most likely Sirhan Sirhan. Also murdering the wild story of murdering an elephant.
