#116 American Executions
In this week’s episode, the boys discuss the death penalty in the U.S. Why do we have it? Why don’t we use it more? Why don’t we use it less? What’s up with it going away in the 70s and then coming back? It’s all very confusing and convoluted… and sometimes things don’t go according to plan. Strap in and find out how we feel about it.

#115 The Life and Crimes of Carl Gugasian
In this week’s episode, the guys are talking about the clever and meticulous Friday Night Bank Robber. What made a troubled kid who had turned his life around return to a life of crime? What made a criminal with such a specific, years-long methodology deviate from his proven methods? We don’t know the answers to these or any of the other questions in this episode, but we’re going to speculate regardless.

#114 Pseudoscience: Alchemy
In this week’s episode, the fellas talk about a pseudoscience that’s maybe a real science sometimes, but is also a pseudoscience most of the time, and we suddenly understand how so many people were driven mad in their alchemical pursuits… the shots of mercury are just a bonus. So join us for piss wizards, 6-cylinder platypus, and a less traditional recipe for making a baby.

#113 Penal Colonies: Devil’s Island & Angola, LA
In this week’s episode, the boys are celebrating Labor Day and talking about their least favorite places to be forced into labor. What’s worse, an island, surrounded by jungles, and thousands of miles from home, or somewhere much closer to home, but with much more brutal work and awful history? The answer involves rodeos!

#112 Guano Mining
In this week’s episode, the guys are talking about how worldwide demand for guano impacted world markets. We’re heaping on piles of information about the folks who worked in the industry, from the guys who worked the guano fissures, to their very analytical bosses. There will be zero puns, we’re only talking about guano mining in continents where it occurred.

#111 Conspiracy Corner: Bronze Age Civilization Collapse
In this week’s episode, the fellas are traveling the Eastern Mediterranean on the search for Sea People. Were they the cause of the end of the Bronze Age, were they just one of several factors, or were they just a symptom of a larger disease? Written by Christopher Nolan

#110 La Ciudad Blanca: City of the Monkey God
In this week’s episode, the guys are going into the rainforest to chase ghosts and legends.

#108 Loving v. Virginia
In week’s this episode, Riley and Patrick discuss the complexities of how marriage laws evolved through English colonial territories, survived revolution and independence, and became so ingrained that disassembling them became a massive boondoggle, requiring the Supreme Court to allow a quiet, kind, modest family to return to their home and raise their children. So join us for hot takes on Thomas Jefferson, Sybian machines, blue people, and a set of codes that you can just add rules to when it suits you.

#107 The Evolution of Paleontology
In this week’s episode, the fellas hypothesize on how crazy it must have been to be the first people to find dinosaur bones. We also mispronounce almost every scientific name we come across. RIP Dr. Alan Grant, we’ll miss you.

#106 The Whaling Industry
In this week's episode, the guys dissect the history of whaling and how it drove industry and naval innovation for years. We also talk a whole lot about blubber, seamen, Moby DICK, and SPERM whales... because, you know, that's our bread and butter, baby! So grab your rucksack, climb aboard, and get ready to spend two and a half years with the same 20 guys hunting aquatic gods.

#105 Corporate Cults: WeWork
In this week's episode, the guys are bringing back Corporate Cults and talking about one real unlikeable fella. Come join us as we chant corporate mantras, attend weird conferences and summer camps, and inflate the ego of WeWork founder Adam Neumann. We definitely don't say anything negative about him or his incredible wife... we'd rather not be the subject of litigation, especially in light of our financial issues we address in the intro.

#104 Arcane Brain: Psychiatric Medicine - Pt. 2
In this week’s episode, the gang is getting into the slightly more modern history of psychiatry. We’re talking treatment methods that seem more cruel than competent and how psychiatric hospitals became bonafide diddle factories for people to sexually exploit the powerless. It’s not an easy topic to make jokes around, but we manage to find a way.

#103 Arcane Brain: Psychiatric Medicine - Pt. 1
In this week’s episode, the fellas are going way back in time to uncover the humble beginnings of psychiatry. From people who were legitimately clinically ill to people who were just inconvenient, we’re talking about the road to modern psychiatry and exactly how we got from avoiding those cursed by the gods to direct intervention… for better or for worse.

#102 Rad Dads
In this week’s episode, the guys are celebrating Father’s Day by talking about some of the raddest dads we can find.

#101 Cambodia: The Death of Rock n’ Roll
In this week’s episode, the guys are exploring the evolution of Cambodian rock n’ roll and its decimation after the overthrow of the government by the Khmer Rouge.

#100 What is Truth - Perspectivism
In this week’s episode, the fellas are celebrating 100 episodes by tackling the most abstract, convoluted topic in the history of the podcast. Also, Patrick gets drunk and Riley and Drew ridicule him instead of addressing his problem with compassion and understanding. Happy 100th episode!

#99 The Battle of Athens, TN
In this week’s episode, the guys uncover what happens when small town politicians decide that the rules don’t apply to them and what happens when the people affected get fed up and take action.

So take a moment and tip your cap to the brave men who made it and, more importantly, to those who didn’t.
