Nailing History
Introducing "Nailing History," the podcast where two friends attempt to nail down historical facts like they're trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the manual. Join Matt and Jon (or Jon and Matt) as they stumble through the annals of time, armed with Wikipedia, Chat GPT, and a sense of reckless abandon.
In each episode, Matt and Jon pick a historical event that tickles their curiosity (and occasionally their funny bone) and dissect it like a frog in biology class—except they're the frogs, and they have no idea what they're doing. From ancient civilizations to modern mishaps, they cover it all with the finesse of a bull in a china shop.
But wait, there's more! In between butchering historical names and dates, Matt and Jon take a break to explore the intersection of history and pop culture. Ever wondered if Cleopatra would have been a TikTok sensation? Yeah, neither have they, but that won't stop them from imagining it in excruciating detail.
So grab your popcorn and prepare to laugh, cringe, and possibly learn something (though don't hold your breath). With Matt and Jon leading the charge, "Nailing History" is the only podcast where you're guaranteed to leave scratching your head and questioning everything you thought you knew about the past. After all, who needs a PhD when you've got two clueless buddies and a microphone?

117 Shoot, There it Is: Unearthing America's Forgotten Presidential Hits
We're back, fans!
Fresh off the heels of the failed assassination attempt on Trump, our intrepid hosts Matt and Jon decided to dig into the lesser-known hits, starting with James Garfield. This guy didn't just balance the budget; he also balanced taking bullets. And if getting shot wasn't bad enough, he met his demise not from the bullet, but from the doctors who couldn't resist probing around in him like a bunch of curious toddlers -- makes you think...who is to blame, the assassin or the doctors??
Then there's William McKinley, who took a bullet and probably thought, "Well, this isn't ideal." Little did he know that the real danger was the surgeons who treated gunshot wounds like an invitation to play Operation, 19th-century style.
But wait, there's more! Teddy Roosevelt, the manly man of the White House, got shot before a speech and shrugged it off like a g and it was just another day wrestling bears. And his brother Frankie baby almost took a hit too, because when you're a Roosevelt, apparently bullets are just a minor inconvenience.
And here's a teaser for you: one of these would-be assassins has a little too much in common with Jon himself. Could it be their knack for stirring up trouble or perhaps their shared affinity for eccentric facial hair? You'll have to tune in to find out!
Join Jon and Matt as they uncover the thrilling, bizarre, tales of these presidents and there assassins. Who knew history could be this wild? Stay tuned for more scandals, secrets, and shocking revelations on the next episode of Nailing History!
And as always...Stay Curious, fans!
