    EP 67 - The History of Pimps
    May 4 2025
    Felipe and Butch get their dripped out canes and take a stroll down the history of pimps and the "game" of what is known as pimping. Before pimping, there was always prostitution and there have been businesses towards but were operated by women, usually by one powerful female. It's an interesting dive it would take a couple of episodes to cut through it but they hand you the education in about less than two hours.

    EP 66 - The History of Dueling
    Apr 27 2025
    Felipe and Butch challenge each to a duel, to explain the history of duels. Duels evolved from medieval European traditions where knights and nobles would settle disputes through physical confrontations. There's no laws on it, lives were either changed or lost. It was appropriately called "trial by combat" where legal disputes were settled by fighting. While initially seen as a way to avoid violence, dueling eventually became a popular means of resolving personal slights, particularly among the upper class.

    EP 65 - The History of Cold Cereal (Kellogg's and Post)
    Apr 20 2025
    Felipe and Butch take on the history of cereal. Cold cereal that is. The Kellogg brothers, John Harvey and Will Keith, along with C.W. Post of the famous Post company, invented cereal and by doing that, pushed the industry of food, health, and the refrigeration we have today. Inventions were stolen, flavors and brands were created, and new regimes were unveiled especially by the likes of Marjorie Merriweather Post who took over her father's business and made it to her very own. This is an episode you're gonna wanna have cereal with.
