128: Gilded Sins: The Rise & Fall of a New Orleans Madam
When Kate Townsend arrived in New Orleans in 1857, she was a young, poor, uneducated immigrant. Within just a few years, she opened one of the most luxurious brothels in the country. Her mansion at 40 Basin Street featured opulent, high-end decor. She hired beautiful women and catered to wealthy, well-connected clientele. As Kate’s wealth grew, so did her power. But a troubled relationship with her longtime boyfriend brought about her downfall.Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Asbury, Herbert.

127: ABBA Rises, Falls and Rises Again! (Part 2)
ABBA became an international sensation when they won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with their song, “Waterloo.” In the years that followed, they created hit after hit after hit. They toured the globe. But then the band hit hard times. Agnetha and Bjorn divorced. So did Benny and Anni-Frid “Frida.” It seemed like ABBA had permanently fallen apart. But the 90s took a surprising turn for ABBA - and they have been under the Super Trooper lights ever since! Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

125: The Reimer Twins Unmask Dr. Money (Part 2)
As soon as David Reimer learned the truth, he knew what he wanted to do. He began presenting as a man. He got a new name. He started testosterone therapy. He underwent surgery. But just when it looked like he had a shot at a normal life, he discovered that Dr. John Money had been writing about him for years. Dr. Money had falsely presented David as proof that we are all born gender neutral, and that parents could choose their child’s gender identity, provided they did it early enough. David knew that what had happened to him was now happening to children all over the world. He decided to put a stop to it.Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

124: 124: Forced Identity: The Story of David Reimer (Part 1)
When he was just seven months old, David Reimer became the victim of a botched circumcision. The accident left him without a penis. His parents, Janet and Ron Reimer, were distraught. They wondered what kind of life David would have. Experts told them that there was little to be done. But then one night, they happened to see an interview with the prominent sexologist Dr. John Money. Dr. Money was charismatic. He was confident. He was credentialed. He had a theory that we are all born gender neutral, and that you could actually choose a child’s gender, provided you made the switch before the child turned two years old. Janet and Ron Reimer were filled with hope. They wondered if, with Dr. Money’s help, they find the solution to their son’s tragic accident. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

123: Pearl Harbor: Titanic for Boys (Part 2)
You might have thought we couldn’t make it through last week’s episode, but just like Ben Affleck in Pearl Harbor, we’re alive, we’re here, and we’re really pissed at you for listening to other podcasts while we were gone. In this episode, Normie C continues to decipher fact from fiction. Meanwhile, Kristin wonders whether we’ll ever hear more about Michael Shannon’s surfboards. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, we pulled from: Bay, Michael, dir. Pearl Harbor. Touchstone Pictures, 2001.Cutrer, Thomas W., and T. Michael Parrish.

122: We Watched Pearl Harbor So You Don’t Have To (Part 1)
In this two-part series, we analyze Michael Bay’s 2001 box office smash, Pearl Harbor. Normie C points out historical inaccuracies. Kristin points out cringey dialogue. Above all, we ask ourselves the *important* questions. Questions like: Is Pearl Harbor just Titanic for boys? And, if this film had a $140 million budget, why does Jon Voight’s butt-chin prosthetic look so much like Silly Puddy? Finally, isn’t it cute that we made fun of this movie for being too long, but we couldn’t fit our own analysis into one episode?? Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

121: Doris Miller: Duty, Honor, and the Fight for Recognition
On Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese forces attacked the U.S. Naval Station at Pearl Harbor. During that chaotic scene, a Black sailor named Doris “Dorie” Miller shot down a Japanese plane and saved an untold number of lives. Doris Miller’s actions were particularly heroic, given the fact that the Navy’s racist policies barred him from serving in a combat role. In fact, he’d only been trained to serve food. For decades, people have fought for Doris Miller to get the recognition that he deserves. The government has been slow to recognize his heroism. But, a few years ago, the acting Secretary of the Navy announced that a future aircraft carrier would be named the USS Doris Miller (CVN-81). Last month, CNN reported that the White House might rescind that decision – opting to name it the USS Donald Trump instead. Needless to say, Normie C had some thoughts about that. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Britzky, Haley, and Pamela Brown. “Exclusive: Navy Weighs Renaming Carrier Slated to Honor Black War Hero, Potentially Switching It to Trump.” CNN, August 20, 2026. https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/20/politics/navy-weighs-renaming-carrier-black-war-hero-to-trump.CBS Sunday Morning.
