S3E3: Do A Barrel Roll

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

Ahoy, matey! Adam and Anthony both take you out to sea by total coincidence; Adam talks about the miraculous(ly awful) rebuilding of the Osbourne Reef, and Anthony talks about what you do with dead whales when they wash up....and what you don't do. Ever. Even if it sounds cool.Hosts: Adam Azra'el, Anthony StatenProducer: Adam Azra'el

Gamers of the world, take heed! Anthony talks about the Nintendo-Sony-Phillips love triangle that led to the PlayStation being created out of spite.

Question: What hibernates for three years without dying? Answer: The Lesser Stories and the two schmucks who host it! The Lesser Stories returns for a third season full of all the things you'd've learned in high school if your History teachers were allowed to drink and swear. Celebrating their first episode in over three years, the boys dig into some poorly-realized dreams! Anthony scans the skies for the Spruce Goose; Adam recounts the thrilling flight of Lawn Chair Larry. The sky's the (very literal) limit!Hosts: Anthony Staten, Adam Azra'elProducer: Adam Azra'el

Cheers to the end of another season! It's all about the booze this episode; Anthony talks about definitely-not-alcohol sold during Prohibition, and Adam talks about definitely-alcohol being accidentally set on fire and sent rampaging through Dublin. Clink 'em and drink 'em, and we'll see you in Season 3! Hosts: Anthony Staten, Adam Azra'el Producer: Adam Azra'el
