  • Good guys, meh pod

    I returned recently after giving this show a break for about a year. Came back hoping to find something just a bit more, maybe mature? Reminds me of a “Morning Maniacs” show, goofy off color jokes, noises, and all.

  • Don’t waste your time

    This is by far THE WORST PODCAST I have ever listened to. The first 14 minutes of the Bob Hope episode is weird unfunny jokes and all through out they kept making unfunny jokes poorly researched and very poorly presented

  • Do your research

    The episode I listened to about Jared Leto was just 3 idiots spouting off what they’ve seen or heard on the internet. They did absolutely no research. It was 50 minutes into the episode before they even started talking about Jared. This is not a podcast to listen to if you are looking for real information on anything. It just sounds like a morning radio show based on nothing.

UNLOCKED! EVIL ZEN 134: The Three Little John Brothers and the Big Bad Barbaras with Tim Gilbert, Amy Locke & Claire Locke
Q: How did you get the idea for Evil Men?
The hosts explain they wanted a name that clearly signals the topic and keeps things fun and accessible, while tapping into the broad appeal of true crime stories.
E241: Frank Abagnale, the "Catch Me If You Can" Guy with Matt Wright
Q: What period did Abagnale claim to have committed most of his frauds, and why is that timeline controversial?
The hosts discuss that Abagnale claims much of his activity occurred when he was between 16 and 21, but journalists have debunked many of these details, noting overlaps with prison time and implausibly high check volumes for the time.
E229: William Henry Harrison aka Old Tippecanoe
Q: Who was William Henry Harrison and why is he notable?
He was the ninth U.S. president, known for the longest inauguration speech in history and the shortest presidency. He cultivated a populist, frontiersman image while coming from a wealthy background, and his campaign used memorable branding like log cabins and hard cider to connect with voters.
