   BONE WARZ!!!!

   In this episode, we get to hear the deep and meaningful Lax grunt. It says multitudes. Also Coonen reveals something utterly surprising: He was a bad student! Can you believe it? But more importantly, Dr. History (Not a real doctor) tells us the epic story of too insufferable rich white men who fight over each others’ bones. Dinosaur bones!…Ahem…dinosaur bones. Suffice to say the immature humor abounds. ENJOY!

   Crusade-apalozza featuring the Loan Temple God-Knights: The Rise, Battles and Fall of the Knights Templar

   It has been a minute but boy do we have a whopper for you. This episode we cover the Knights Templar, continuing our journey though the amazingly weird world of medieval shenanigans. Dr. History tells a bleak tale about crazy ass holy knights that are as badass as they are insanely fanatical. A real zeal team six. Lax doesn't hit the mic stand due to edging . Coonen pretends to know things but most likely is miss-remembering a storyline from an expendables movie. Enjoy!

   Popes on the Ropes: Pope Power vs Actual Power

   Well its been a couple of months, but we are back with an extra long one. You wanna know about medieval/mission impossible type scenarios, except dumber? Did you know whispering like god into someone's room does actually work sometimes, not just in sitcoms? Did you know Adam C. THINKS he can do accents but is actually terrible at it? Then this is the episode for you! Also, Adam Lax's Jewish mind is blown by the catholic-ness of it all. Adam C. has way too many tangents (we get it d-bag you know stuff kinda sometimes). Enjoy!
