Weeeeeeeeeeeee’re Back! 2020 has been a tough one for all of us, and with things going as crazy as they are, we just couldn’t stand back and stand by. These boys are too proud for that. #ProudBoys. And so we’re back, with an episode that has nothing to do with the world today. Yes, we are fully embracing your escapist […]
Mary was an elephant Back in a circus show. And everywhere that Mary went, Mayhem was sure to go. It followed her to Tennessee, The place she met her end. And all because, unwitting, she Pancaked her untrained friend.
If the news has you down, this episode is sure to cure what ails you!* Ah, modern medicine. A pill for everything, marijuana on demand, and the sweet release of anesthetic oblivion for anything more invasive than a teeth cleaning. Medicine wasn’t always so accommodating, however. This week, the guys slice into the story of Dr. Robert Liston, the “Fastest […]
Nothing says Christmas quite as much as a drunken mob of Santas descending on local bars, flinging Brussels sprouts at each other, distributing inappropriate gifts to terrified children, hanging from traffic lights, and beating up unsuspecting accountants dressed like elves. Or wait, toys. Maybe toys mean Christmas more than the mob thing. Anyway, this week the guys ho-ho-hop into the […]
We’ve been holding this episode in for nearly a month, and we’re about ready to burst! With anticipation, that is. This week on The Bright Side, the guys hold their breath and dive, nose first, into the wacky, malodorous world of professional farting!

So, if that title didn’t freak you out, we want nothing to do with you. This week, the guys try to tame the Toronto Circus Riot of 1855, a rollicking moment of chaos in an otherwise very polite town, where corruption, sex, and religious fervor combined to whip up a wacky cocktail. Along the way, we will somehow encounter Oompa […]
Nothing says “America” like moving to a neighborhood because it’s close to a national landmark, then being pissy at people who want to come into your neighborhood to view the same landmark. And nothing says “City of Angels” like the Hollywood Sign. This week, the guys hike up the hill to excavate the history of one of America’s most iconic images, […]
America’s Civil War was a time of great strife, with brother pitted against brother, the nation ripped apart, and…a boat full of whores floating upriver? Yes, you read that correctly. Inspired by New York State’s upcoming decriminalization of sex work, this week’s episode looks back at an early, surprisingly successful attempt to regulate sex work in occupied Nashville, Tennessee. But […]
Gators! Riding Lawnmowers! Flying Bricks! This week’s episode has everything: a time-traveling Floridian, a swan-punching Floridian, even a Floridian hoping to become a Bermudan through the clever use of a massive hamster wheel! If that last sentence didn’t make any sense, don’t worry. You’re not alone. This week, the guys brave the Mosquito Coast to find the true identity of […]
