  • Tall ships, 250th and Scribble Dog 20260703
    Jul 3 2026

    Most Americans could barely name where the Declaration of Independence was signed—let alone know the two future presidents who actually signed it. But hey, no worries, because this episode is about owning your history and learning how clueless we actually are about our own country’s wild past. Think you know your founding fathers? Thought so. Prepare for some jaw-dropping facts, hilarious takes on modern ignorance, and a reminder that if we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat it — preferably with fireworks and tall ships.We break down how our ancestors survived plagues, fevers, and wars, and how today's kids couldn't tell you the Bill of Rights from a Google search. You’ll discover why George Washington was a total lunatic, how Salt Lake City’s Mormon roots turn into mountain biking paradise, and why saltwater crocodiles are basically the raccoons of the animal kingdom—dangerous and constantly underestimated. Plus, we dish on the absurdity of modern TV, fake news, and how the only thing more overrepresented than lesbians on screen is the latest in pharma commercials with side effects that sound straight out of a horror movie.Why does it matter? Well, if you don’t know your history, you’re flying blind—like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions. This episode is perfect for anyone who loves a good laugh, wants to up their American trivia game, or just needs a reminder that the American experience is pretty damn wild, but we've been doing it for 250 years. So, whether you're barbecuing in Brooklyn or watching fireworks from your balcony, this one’s your must-listen to get fired up about your country’s crazy (and awesome) story.And don’t worry—there’s even a trivia quiz that’ll test whether your knowledge is as sharp as your 4th of July grill skills. Trust us, you’ll walk away smarter, and maybe even less clueless about how a bunch of colonists decided to throw a barbecue that changed the world. Fireworks recommended, but not included.

    Jun 19 2026

    Crikey! Ever wonder what the government isn’t telling you about secret bio labs, crazy animals turned pets, and the chaos raining down at Knicks parades? Buckle up — this episode’s got more wild stories than a barrel of honey badgers.Rich and Mike dig into declassified bio research, revealing how Ukraine’s laboratories could have been preparing some seriously nasty pathogens — forget cancer cures, we’re talking hemorrhage and fever viruses that make COVID look like a mild headache. If you think the world’s nuts now, these insider clues will make you question everything about our “normal.”Then, we pivot to the chaos of New York after a Knicks game, where sirens, helicopters, and riot cops become the city’s new soundtrack. Meanwhile, out west, a retired Air Force colonel peacefully tests a B-52 and—poof—it's reduced to smoldering wreckage. Did someone hide UFO tech? Or is this just another episode of "Florida man meets military snitch"? Stay tuned.And animals — or should I say, the freakiest pets ever? Honey badgers attacking house dogs, mountain lions stalking barn goats, and the global invasion of giant pythons turning Florida into a real-life Jurassic Park. Hell, even turkeys are staging egg ambushes because those invasive pythons are laying nests everywhere. Don’t get me started on ginormous, billion-dollar T-Rex purses — yes, moneybags, a real fossilized dino accessory for your closet.Plus, a deep dive into the wild world of high-end watches, fake designer bags, and how people are paying hundreds of thousands for bling that looks like leftovers from the dinosaur era. Spoiler: No one really knows what that half-million-dollar T-Rex purse is made of, but hey, if you’ve got the cash, why not go prehistoric?Whether you're into conspiracy theories, street chaos, or just love animals going totally bonkers, this episode is a rollercoaster you’ll want to ride — no seatbelt required. Perfect for curious minds, animal lovers, or anyone who enjoys a good laugh at how crazy the world’s getting.So hit play, and remember: in a world this wild, it’s hard to tell what’s fake, real, or just plain nuts. Stay weird!

  • Rabid Beavers, Airport Shaving and the I-95 Golf Cart Grand Prix 20260605
    Jun 5 2026

    Most people assume cavemen only knew how to club stuff, but a 1,300-year-old Viking sword suggests they may have been just as into ancient dentistry as we are today—minus the fancy tools and anesthesia.In this wild ride of an episode, Skull & Skull dive headfirst into viral beaver attacks, the bizarre world of beaver-themed branding, and the insanity of modern travel that involves cutting toenails in airports, driving bulldozers in mud-filled projects, and the real dangers of flying out of control at 80 mph. Want to hear why a rabid beaver might be the next horror flick? Or how drinking from a prehistoric sword can make your dentist blush? Yeah, we got that.You'll discover:

    • The hilarious (but terrifying) viral videos of beavers biting teenage daredevils and the rabies scare that followed
    • The secret origin story behind Bucky’s beaver mascot and how ancient Vikings might’ve been the original tooth-fixers
    • The crazy history of Florida’s railroad tunnels, oyster-boat epic drives, and why flying in some "budget" airlines is worse than a horror movie
    • The absurdity of cave diving, free climbing without ropes, and why your next vacation might just involve checking your sandals before you leave
    • The wild tales of transport chaos: runaway buses, soccer-mom golf cart escapes, and police officers who do their best with bicycles

    Perfect for anyone fed up with airport shenanigans, tired of conspiracy theories, or just craving some jaw-dropping stories to make you grateful for modern life—this episode is a rollercoaster of laughs, lunacy, and lost Viking relics.And if you ever wondered what it’s like to find a 1,400-year-old sword in Norway or see a beaver sink its teeth into viral fame, this is your listen. Warning: Side effects include uncontrollable laughter and a newfound appreciation for not messing with beavers or free solo climbers. Hit play and get ready for a crazy journey through the bizarre, the historic, and the downright stupid.
