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?

121 Trivia Showdown Hosted by Mark C.
In the latest episode of the “Nailing History” podcast, hosts Matt and Jon dive headfirst into a trivia extravaganza that’s bound to make your history teacher’s head spin. With special guest Mark C. at the helm, our dynamic duo is put through the wringer in a quiz show that tests not only their historical prowess but also their random trivia skills.
Matt, the self-proclaimed master of history class naps, is dusting off his cerebral cobwebs to take on the challenge. Known for his impressive ability to sleep through the most riveting historical lectures, Matt is ready to see if any of those snoozed-over facts will resurface in his time of need. Spoiler alert: they probably won’t, but that’s part of the fun!
Jon, on the other hand, is bracing himself for the ultimate test of his knowledge, which, let’s be honest, seems to be frozen in the late 19th century. His understanding of pop culture and historical events after 1870 is so sparse, it could fit on a post-it note. As he attempts to answer questions that span the centuries, expect a lot of head-scratching and possibly some bewildered looks.
Mark C., our fearless trivia master, is ready to throw a curveball or two, testing everything from ancient Egyptian trivia to obscure facts about the Renaissance. With questions flying faster than a trebuchet, the stakes are high, and the competition is fierce.
Will Matt’s history classes finally pay off, or will his penchant for naps prove to be his downfall? Can Jon bridge the gap between the 19th century and the present day without causing a temporal rift? Tune in to find out which of our hosts will be crowned the trivia champion—or if they’ll both end up as historical footnotes in their own podcast saga!
