  • The History of Morning Routines, Part Two: All Hail The Toothbrush! And Deodorant!

    The History of Morning Routines, Part Two: All Hail The Toothbrush! And Deodorant!
    Jun 10 2025

    For most of us -- hopefully! -- dental care is a fundamental piece of the morning routine. There are few things quite as refreshing as starting the day with a fresh, minty smile. Then, of course, deodorant (please)! In the second part of the History of Morning Routines, Ben, Noel and Max give massive thanks to the many inventors of yesteryear who worked tirelessly to create toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant. Along the way, the guys discover some immensely devious marketing, and invent a new insult: "you sweat-ridden child."

    CLASSIC: The Smooth-talking Takeover of Tabor Bridge: "Yes And-ing" Your Way To Victory
    Jun 7 2025

    In 1805, two French Marshals found themselves in quite a pickle -- Jean Lannes and Joachim Murat needed to cross the Danube at the Tabor bridge (a series of three bridges, actually) to reach Vienna. However, Austrian forces held the bridges and were prepared to destroy them before allowing the French to cross. With a brilliant talent for improvisation and more than a healthy dose of confidence, the Marshalls proceeded to con their way across the bridge without firing a shot. Listen in to learn more in today's Classic episode.

I was hooked on "The Stuff They Don't Want You To Know", then I found this podcast with some of the same hosts. I'm so excited that I get to listen to a while new library of amazing history. Keep up the amazing work!

Insanely informative and always entertaining!

Sometimes wacky, crazy, dare I say ridiculous historical moments from Clown juice that became pink lemonade to the US Navy defeating their enemies with potatoes! Ben and Nole with their Super Producers cover various topics. They can sometimes get trapped down rabbit holes but they will then usually bring things back around with a 2 parter. As extra fun beware the Quizzster at the end of some episodes!

Great show to learn bits of missed history.
