They have had this show on Comedy Central for awhile, probably one of the most unique programs ever!
In the half hour, they usually cover three little known historical tales, many times in the same region or town.
Example, Baltimore, one of the stories is how the Pinkertons had to smuggle Abraham Lincoln through the town on his way to the White House so that no one killed him. So they will liquor up a celebrity and have him tell the tale. Then have other actors act out the events. If the drunk narrator belches, the historical actors will do the same.
I know it sounds very bizarre, but I like learning the history and seeing how messed up the narrators get.

I've thought about checking that out, now I will.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

Things that you probably already knew and a few things that you would never know unless you got to travel to the places this show features! Could be a handy travel planning tool if you hit the lottery or came into a lot of money through a dead relative.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
