87. Did You Guys Hear About That Missing Submarine?
This week, in a special mid-series release, the LU Boys hop on to talk about the one topic that has dominated the airwaves (and the meme-waves) all week: those silly billionaires and their silly submarine. Also, we rank Rudy Giuliani's perverted ramblings, and talk a little about what a freak RFK Jr. is turning out to be.

Correction: at approximately 44:48 Cam refers to 'Temujin and Begter', when in fact he meant 'Temujin and Belgutei'. Sorry bout it.

82. The Dalai Lama is Not Beating the Sicko Allegations
Join us this week as we explore new and exciting ways in which those who rule us are complete sickos, such as the Dalai Lama allegedly harassing a child and Republican mega-donor and Justice Clarence Thomas benefactor Harlan Crow keeping Nazi memorabilia.

81. The Mongols II: Humble Beginnings
This week we zoom in after our tour of the 12th century and examine the origins and early life of one of History’s greatest individuals: Genghis Khan. From an early life spent eating rats in the tundra, we will examine the foundational experiences that forged one of the most prolific conquerors the World has ever known. What was childhood like for the baddest man on the planet?

80. Mar-a-Lago Has Fallen
This week we discuss the very real and true events surrounding the arrest and imprisonment of former President Donald J. Trump. We also talk about Bethany SHONDARK Mandel. She must be a socialist, the way she got PUBLICALLY OWNED. There's some laughs, some tears, and a smattering of Tucker Carlson dog whistling for good measure. Enjoy!

79. The Mongols I: A 12th Century Tour
This week, Cam is beginning a series on one of his all time favorite topics in history: the Mongol Conquests / Empire. There’s a lot of ground to cover, but first, we think it’s important to take the lay of the land and examine the world within which our story will gradually unfold. So this week, we begin a little tour of the mid- 12th Century to see who was up to what, and where!
