    #114 Pseudoscience: Alchemy

    In this week’s episode, the fellas talk about a pseudoscience that’s maybe a real science sometimes, but is also a pseudoscience most of the time, and we suddenly understand how so many people were driven mad in their alchemical pursuits… the shots of mercury are just a bonus. So join us for piss wizards, 6-cylinder platypus, and a less traditional recipe for making a baby. 

  2. 118

    #113 Penal Colonies: Devil’s Island & Angola, LA

    In this week’s episode, the boys are celebrating Labor Day and talking about their least favorite places to be forced into labor. What’s worse, an island, surrounded by jungles, and thousands of miles from home, or somewhere much closer to home, but with much more brutal work and awful history? The answer involves rodeos!

  3. 117

    #112 Guano Mining

    In this week’s episode, the guys are talking about how worldwide demand for guano impacted world markets. We’re heaping on piles of information about the folks who worked in the industry, from the guys who worked the guano fissures, to their very analytical bosses. There will be zero puns, we’re only talking about guano mining in continents where it occurred. 

  4. 116

    #111 Conspiracy Corner: Bronze Age Civilization Collapse

    In this week’s episode, the fellas are traveling the Eastern Mediterranean on the search for Sea People. Were they the cause of the end of the Bronze Age, were they just one of several factors, or were they just a symptom of a larger disease?  Written by Christopher Nolan

  5. 115

    #110 La Ciudad Blanca: City of the Monkey God

    In this week’s episode, the guys are going into the rainforest to chase ghosts and legends. From pre-Colombian settlements, to lying wannabe archaeologist spies, to the technology that turned rumors of a lost civilization into an actual discovery… and if that’s not enough to get your attention, there’s also a Monkey Curse!

  6. 114

    #109 North American Cryptids: West Virginia

    In this week’s episode, the boys are stomping through the hollers of West Virginia in search of our favorite hillbilly cryptids. And yes, before you ask, we talk about Mothman. So come on in, pull up a chair, and place your bets on our Snollygoster vs. Snallygaster death match on this, Part 5 of our Cryptids Series!

  7. 113

    #108 Loving v. Virginia

    In week’s this episode, Riley and Patrick discuss the complexities of how marriage laws evolved through English colonial territories, survived revolution and independence, and became so ingrained that disassembling them became a massive boondoggle, requiring the Supreme Court to allow a quiet, kind, modest family to return to their home and raise their children. So join us for hot takes on Thomas Jefferson, Sybian machines, blue people, and a set of codes that you can just add rules to when it suits you. 

  8. 112

    #107 The Evolution of Paleontology

    In this week’s episode, the fellas hypothesize on how crazy it must have been to be the first people to find dinosaur bones. We also mispronounce almost every scientific name we come across. RIP Dr. Alan Grant, we’ll miss you. 

  9. 111

    #106 The Whaling Industry

    In this week's episode, the guys dissect the history of whaling and how it drove industry and naval innovation for years. We also talk a whole lot about blubber, seamen, Moby DICK, and SPERM whales... because, you know, that's our bread and butter, baby! So grab your rucksack, climb aboard, and get ready to spend two and a half years with the same 20 guys hunting aquatic gods. 

  10. 110

    #105 Corporate Cults: WeWork

    In this week's episode, the guys are bringing back Corporate Cults and talking about one real unlikeable fella. Come join us as we chant corporate mantras, attend weird conferences and summer camps, and inflate the ego of WeWork founder Adam Neumann. We definitely don't say anything negative about him or his incredible wife... we'd rather not be the subject of litigation, especially in light of our financial issues we address in the intro. 

  11. 109

    #104 Arcane Brain: Psychiatric Medicine - Pt. 2

    In this week’s episode, the gang is getting into the slightly more modern history of psychiatry. We’re talking treatment methods that seem more cruel than competent and how psychiatric hospitals became bonafide diddle factories for people to sexually exploit the powerless. It’s not an easy topic to make jokes around, but we manage to find a way. 

  12. 108

    #103 Arcane Brain: Psychiatric Medicine - Pt. 1

    In this week’s episode, the fellas are going way back in time to uncover the humble beginnings of psychiatry. From people who were legitimately clinically ill to people who were just inconvenient, we’re talking about the road to modern psychiatry and exactly how we got from avoiding those cursed by the gods to direct intervention… for better or for worse. 

  13. 107

    #102 Rad Dads

    In this week’s episode, the guys are celebrating Father’s Day by talking about some of the raddest dads we can find. From the dad who started it all, to the wizard dad we all wish we had, to the dad who’s mission to help his ailing child created the setting for millions of teenagers to learn important lessons about where NOT to be intimate, these dads are all beyond worthy of their Rad Dad trophies!

  14. 106

    #101 Cambodia: The Death of Rock n’ Roll

    In this week’s episode, the guys are exploring the evolution of Cambodian rock n’ roll and its decimation after the overthrow of the government by the Khmer Rouge. We even added a cool soundtrack that will almost certainly get the episode flagged, but we don’t care. Enjoy! Yol Aularong - Cyclo Sinn Sisamouth - ផាត់ជាយបណ្តូលចិត្ត Ros Sereysothea - Chnam oun Dop-Pram Muy "I'm 16" Pan Ron - There’s Nothing to Be Ashamed Of  Baksey Cham Krong - B.C.K Sinn Sisamouth - Don't Think I've Forgotten

  15. 105

    #100 What is Truth - Perspectivism

    In this week’s episode, the fellas are celebrating 100 episodes by tackling the most abstract, convoluted topic in the history of the podcast. Also, Patrick gets drunk and Riley and Drew ridicule him instead of addressing his problem with compassion and understanding. Happy 100th episode!

  16. 104

    #99 The Battle of Athens, TN

    In this week’s episode, the guys uncover what happens when small town politicians decide that the rules don’t apply to them and what happens when the people affected get fed up and take action. This episode’s got it all: crooked cops, war heroes, Molotov cocktails, and an unlikely protagonist that Patrick never wants to stop quoting.  

  17. 103

    #98 The Sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis

    In this week’s episode, the boys are celebrating Memorial Day in their own unique way, by telling the story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the tale of the men on board. As if surviving WW2 in the South Pacific wasn’t enough of a trial, these men battled the elements, starvation, dehydration, and ocean predators and many of them never made it back. So take a moment and tip your cap to the brave men who made it and, more importantly, to those who didn’t. 

  18. 102

    #97 Survival Stories: Juliane Koepcke

    In this week’s episode, the fellas are talking about one of the most incredible survival stories out there. As if surviving a plane disintegrating midair and then plummeting 10,000 feet into the Amazon rainforest isn’t insane enough, this seventeen year old girl wandered through the jungle for eleven days and lived to tell her story… and now we’re telling her story!

  19. 101

    #96 Terrible Moms

    In this week’s episode, the guys are celebrating Mother’s Day by talking about some of the worst moms we’ve ever heard of. From the slightly annoying to the downright insane and murderous, we’ve got all the perspective you need to get your mom some flowers this year. 

  20. 100

    #95 The Battle of Puebla

    In this week’s episode, the fellas delve into Mexican history, specifically the reason why blonde, white ladies chug margaritas and queso every 5th of May. Surprise! It’s got absolutely nothing to do with Mexican Independence. So listen and find out the real reason!

  21. 99

    #94 War Bonds

    In this week’s episode, the boys are doing their best to make an insanely boring topic interesting. Specifically, war bonds, treasury securities, and United States debt financing. We promise it’s less boring than it sounds, but go ahead and prepare to feel very financially vulnerable for a little while. 

  22. 98

    #93 The History of Marijuana Usage

    In this week’s episode, the guys are celebrating 4/20 the best way they can… by talking about weed a lot while totally sober. We’re old and we can’t hang anymore, it just is what it is. However, we can tell a whole bunch of stories from our past alongside a fun walkthrough of marijuana’s past! So gather ‘round and listen to your favorite uncs explain how your favorite plant made its way to your pipe. 

  23. 97

    #92 World Be Crazy: Movile Cave

    In this week’s episode, the boys are starting a new series. A series where we talk about weird stuff, things that we can’t explain, and frankly, things that make us feel gross and want to throw up. It’s alien stuff right here in our midst, so slap on your PPE and dive in with us. 

  24. 96

    #91 Weird Religions: Panawave & The Universe People

    In this week’s episode, the guys are celebrating Easter by using bedsheets to sidestep communist attacks, revive 90s indie noise rock, and talk to inter-dimensional, racist aliens. It’s a silly one, but we can’t be so serious all the time or we’ll go crazy. 

  25. 95

    #90 Olga of Kiev

    In this week’s episode, the boys discover the #1 lady to avoid making angry. Whether she did it for love, revenge, or to subvert a bigger war is anyone’s guess. What we do know is that Olga of Kiev came up with some real crafty ways to kill thousands and still somehow managed to be sainted after her death. 

  26. 94

    #89 The Life and Crimes of Kathy Ainsworth and Thomas Tarrants

    In this week’s episode, the guys talk about some swampy business in the 1960s, civil rights era Deep South. Was it nature or nurture that turned an otherwise sweet, smart, pretty Kathy Ainsworth into a racially motivated bomber? Did Thomas Tarrants even have a chance at not becoming a KKK bomber? It’s top to bottom radicalization, violence, and a redemption arc you probably won’t see coming. 

  27. 93

    #88 The Troubles: The Beginning

    In this week’s episode, the boys strike a slightly more somber tone as we dig into the first 360 or so years of English colonization, occupation, and general f*ckery in Ireland, from The Plantation of Ulster to Bloody Sunday. It’s part one of a series a year in the making, so we tried to take it seriously. Guest appearances by Blinky the leprechaun, Billy Connelly, and Liam Neeson. 

  28. 92

    #87 Arcane Brain: The Final Spark

    In this weeks episode, the guys are taking a slight departure from history and talking about contemporary nightmares. What kind of nightmares? The kind where meat and metal are merged in a laboratory, the insane, unholy fusion that will inevitably bring about our untimely demise!!! Or maybe we’re just overreacting. YOU DECIDE!

  29. 91

    #86 Revolutionaries: Dolores Ibárruri

    In this week’s episode, the guys are spittin’ Spanish, rattlin’ revolution, and dishin’ Dolores! Specifically, we’re talking about a lady who grew up poor and ended up becoming a huge voice for Spanish revolution. Bonus: if you ever wanted us to deliberately be political, this is the episode to listen to. Won’t happen for at least another 18 months, so soak it in!

  30. 90

    #85 Conspiracy Corner: The Dogon Tribe

    In this week’s episode, we’re exploring a pretty strange conspiracy involving ancient cultures, interplanetary visitors, white people, and invisible planetary bodies. Are aliens or French people to blame? Grab your goats, guard your private parts, and let’s find out together!

  31. 89

    #84 History of the British Monarchy: Cousins!

    In this week’s episode, the boys explore the magical land of Alba and the cousin banging that ultimately led to the intertwining (both nationally and genetically) of England and Scotland. Murders, mostly extrajudicial ones, abound as we discuss William Wallace, Macbeth, Vikings, kings with assorted bad nicknames, execution dogs, poorly written sonnets, and the love one can only feel from a cousin. 

  32. 88

    #83 The Pinkerton Detective Agency

    In this week’s episode, was he a good guy or a bad guy? Was he a man above reproach whose legacy was sullied by his sons or was vigilante justice always just part of their culture? Did Rivers Cuomo dedicate an entire album to him? Honestly, we don’t know, but we’re gonna talk about Allen Pinkerton for an hour and an half either way. 

  33. 87

    #82 North American Cryptids: Hawaii, Washington, & Georgia

    In this week’s episode, we’re celebrating Groundhog’s Day by phoning it in and talking about Cryptids… again. Have you ever wondered what creepy legends are lurking around Hawaii, Washington, and Georgia? Well it’s mostly bigfoots and water monsters, but we still don’t talk about those mostly. We’re gonna keep it weird here on our 4th Cryptids episode!

  34. 86

    #81 Feral Children

    In this week’s episode, we’ve got kids everywhere! Not in a weird, creepy way, in a fun, adorable way! We’ve got Ukrainian dog kids, Colombian monkey kids, Indian wolf kids, Kyrgyzstanian…?Kyrgyzstanese…? Anyway he’s a sheep kid! We’ve got kids in the studio, the kind raised by humans! So grab YOUR kids and enjoy kid week here at Delete Everything Podcast. 

  35. 85

    #80 Convict Leasing

    In this week’s episode, the fellas are waist deep in swampy atrocities yet again! Come with us as we find out that sugar, salt, and “Black Auntie” are the ingredients for possibly the most horrific recipe ever. Bonus: Patrick struggles with a basic sentence for 4+ takes and Drew makes him look like an idiot by not editing it out. 

  36. 84

    #79 Ancient Marvels: Chinese Caves, Statuesque Balls, & Giant Mountain H’s

    In this week’s episode, the guys spend an inordinate amount of time talking about statue genitalia. Are they any more or less interesting than mysteriously carved Chinese caves or ancient Bolivian cities that Riley can’t pronounce? Probably not. But there’s something about big, bronze balls that we just can’t resist. 

  37. 83

    #78 Movie Set Mishaps: The 80’s

    In this week's episode, the boys are talking mutilation and disfigurement yet again as we explore a few more of the movies that you definitely know of and the mishaps involved in the filming that you probably haven't heard of. We also continue to gush a little more about Jackie Chan, because would it really be a Movie Set Mishaps episode without that?

  38. 82

    #77 Historical C*ck Blockers

    In this week’s episode, who said you could fornicate? Certainly not your god or your government! On this episode, the guys explore the global and ancient tradition of dictating what goes on with what's in your pants. So bike lock your privates up and let’s lay next to one another with no actual physical contact!

  39. 81

    #76 Crappy Holidays

    In this week’s episode, the guys are discussing the worst Christmas tragedies we could find. Turns out the horrors don’t take off for the holidays… and evidently neither do we! So enjoy your cooked goose, stuffing, and seasonal desserts along with a side of alarming tales of personal misfortune. 

  40. 80
  41. 79

    #75 Mercator v. Peters Maps

    In this week’s episode, Riley and Drew flip the script on Patrick and completely hoodwink him. Have you ever wondered what world map projections and 80s cartoons have in common? Well neither have we, and they aren’t correlated at all, but we talk a whole bunch about both things anyway! Prepare to have your minds blown!

  42. 78

    #74 Wacky Disasters: Eruption of Mt. Tambora, The Great Emu War, Goldsboro, NC B-52 Crash

    In this week’s episode, the fellas are getting you all geared up for the holiday season by talking about legitimate tragedies that drastically altered people’s lives… and then minimizing those tragedies into a palatable 90 minute podcast so you don’t feel bad about it! Why worry about the victims of the eruption of Mount Tambora, or the farmers who suffered through the Australian Emu Wars, or the hundreds of thousands of people who would have been vaporized if the worst case scenario had happened in the 1961 Goldsboro B-52 crash when like… Legos are hella unaffordable for your nephew’s Christmas present? 

  43. 77

    #73 Deep Sea Exploration

    In this week’s episode, the boys are going balls deep… wait… they’re going deep… underwater… in balls! We’re talking all things deep in the ocean! Bathyspheres! Benthoscopes! Nuclear submarines! James Camerons! And what goes down between friends at the bottom of the Marianas Trench! So dive in with us, the water is freezing, inky black, and full of scary monsters.

  44. 76

    #72 Thanksgiving Traditions

    In this week’s episode, the guys dive into how we ended up with the Thanksgiving traditions we celebrate every year. From turkey and stuffing to Black Friday, we’re cooking up a whole batch of historical context. So everyone gather ‘round the table and keep Riley away from the turkey. 

  45. 75

    #71 Miyamoto Musashi

    In this week’s episode, the guys are heading back to Japan to talk about confirmed badass, Miyamoto Musashi. We’re following this guy from his “killing guys with wooden sticks” era in his teens all the way to his “killing guys with wooden sticks” era in his 30s. This guy REALLY liked bashing people’s heads in with wooden sticks! That’s not to say that he wasn’t down to use his swords on 12 year old children though. Either way, we’ll let the listener decide if Musashi was a certified technical killer or a bloodthirsty, homeless psychopath. 

  46. 74

    #70 Bikini Atoll

    In this week’s episode, we’re traveling to the Central Pacific to watch things go boom! Is that unexpected rain a sign of the end of all wars? Maybe. The entire coral reef turning into glass is just a fun side effect! Find out how close to the perineum we managed to drop our bomb this week.

  47. 73

    #69 Arcane Brain: The Monopoly Study

    In this week’s episode, the guys are doing something a little different than they usually do. We’re talking about social psychology experiments and how they mush our brains into acting like jerks sometimes. Hopefully you’re listening to this from your cash-filled jacuzzi, inside your multi-million mansion, within your gated, beachfront community… on Park Place. 

  48. 72

    #68 Horror Cinema

    In this week’s episode, we’re joined by guest host Jade “Dragon” Meadows to talk about the history of horror cinema. From the inception of the genre, which is cool, to Stephen King books and movies, which are lame and awful. Enjoy spooky season with our hot takes on a whole bunch of classic horror!

  49. 71

    Bad Movie, Please Fix #1 - The Black Dahlia

    What happens when you combine a stellar cast, beautiful cinematography, and a darkly fascinating premise based on the real-life murder of Elizabeth Short, aka "The Black Dahlia?" Well, if you're director Brian De Palma in 2006, you make a piece of crap movie that sank at least one rising star. Join the Blongo Boys on this bonus inaugural episode of (possibly?) our next podcast: Bad Movie, Please Fix.

  50. 70

    #67 Survival Stories: Ada Delatuk, Steven Callahan, & Ernest Shackleton
