The Lesser Stories

The best efforts are wasted on bad ideas, and we've got some doozies straight from WWII. Anthony talks about the Krummlauf, which almost (if not quite) entirely failed to fire bullets on a curve. Adam talks about Anti-Tank no. 74 sticky grenades, which almost (if not quite) entirely failed to stick to tanks (or anything else).Hosts: Adam Azra'el, Anthony StatenProducer: Adam Azra'el

Wind up and get ready to shoot a touchdown straight into the hoop, it's a SPORTS TEAM episode! Adam explores the only mildly horrifying tradition of One-Arm vs One-Leg Cricket, and Anthony uncovers a baseball plot so heinous that it cost a baseball player more than six whole games....gasp!Hosts: Adam Azra'el, Anthony StatenProducer: Adam Azra'el

This episode is extremely classified, so you have to promise not to tell anyone. Anthony cracks the file on Robert Hanssen, who sold info to the Russians in the 90s. Adam goes back a little further to Elizabethan England, and the sordid life of Christopher Marlowe....poet, playwright, and 100% probably also a long-term spy. Hosts: Adam Azra'el, Anthony StatenProducer: Adam Azra'el

What has four wheels and has a history of being used for wild adventures? If you answered "automobile", you are correct because this was not a joke, it was an easy quiz and you passed....good for you. Anthony recounts a car race from New York to Paris (yes, he'll answer that question) and Adam shovels up the goods on the Snow Cruiser.Hosts: Adam Azra'el, Anthony StatenProducer: Adam Azra'el

The big G might just sit this one out as Anthony explores the immensely gross but memorable funeral of Pope Alexander VI, and Adam digs deep on a 350-year anti-dick crusade through the Vatican's art collection. We don't know if there's a particular number of euphamisms after which we have to give some sort of content warning, but if there is then we hit it....there's your warning. See you all in hell.Hosts: Adam Azra'el, Anthony StatenProducer: Adam Azra'el
