Andrew & Jon get together to talk about urban legends! Bunnymen, Chupacabras, Elvis, Hitler, and Poo Gators are all on the menu today. Sorry about the Poo Gators.

Andrew & Jon discuss groovy drugs and not-so-groovy wars. Andrew digs a hole, Jon almost digs it deeper, and the boys incriminate themselves. It’s a fun episode of The Broadsides!

The boys get deep into feuds of the familial variety in this VERY accurate breakdown of the rivalry that tore a rural valley apart and left America with a multitude of made-for-TV-movies. Andrew assaults children with rubber fish, Jon mourns the mailman, and we make the biggest leap to Hitler in podcast history. Air-quotes abound in this very violent episode of The Broadsides.

Andrew, Jon, and special guest Hoolie, discuss (and drink) beer. The history of beer, the science of beer, and the consequences of drinking beer are all lightly touched on before the conversation gets drunkenly derailed. We’re sorry this one was late, guys. We were drunk.

Andrew & Jon get waist deep in nationalism and tyranny. Andrew stops a shoplifter, Jon compares everything to video games, and the boys try as hard as they can to avoid saying “Trump.”Music by Kevin MacLeod

Andrew & Jon look at weather lore, strange weather phenomena, and bad Australian accents, and then Andrew gets Jon to lose his cool.  Chatting about the weather has never sounded so angry.

Today the boys are joined by a special guest for a very serious discussion about mining. The gang talks about nose picking, subterranean horses, the benefits of living in an underground theocratic society, and Andrew’s most non-triumphant party foul.

Andrew & Jon discuss everyone’s favorite atomic monster.   Andrew looks at the historical events that influenced the film, Jon talks about the hilarious history of its actual production, and the boys make slappy sex noises with their hands.  This is a good one.

In this episode, Jon & Andrew talk about Johnny Appleseed and Davy Crockett.  They have a few laughs, and probably get more than a few things wrong, but can you hold it against them?  They’re not folk heroes. 

In this first episode, Jon & Andrew take a look at tour guides throughout history and mythology, and discover that cranky old Floridians are almost preferable to 40 years of exile and Spanish bounty hunters.  Listen
