    History

    This Actually Happened with Chad McKenzie

    The greatest adventures rarely start out intentionally. They begin with a simple idea. They are debated. Inevitably someone will say it’s impossible, it can’t be done, and whoever attempts it will surely perish from the effort. Once the impossibility has been decided there always seems to be one man – one dumb man, who sets out to defy the odds (usually to impress a girl) and will risk his life to do so (and hopes that she’s watching).

    The best stories aren’t always fiction. Before we begin I would remind you – this actually happened.

    All Day I Dream About....Shoes Oct 10, 2026
    Show notes

    This is the story of 2 Nazi brothers and how their petty rivalry led to the creation of two multi-billion dollar shoe brands worn all over the world. It also features ESPIONAGE, and BRIBERY, and me doing a TERRIBLE GERMAN ACCENT and MISPRONOUNCING THE NAMES OF GERMAN CITIES and THE ADVICE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN RICHARD SIMMONS IN 1980. Women will love it because it's about shoes. Men will love it because it contains many sports anecdotes. And ultimately nobody will love it because you can't be everything to everyone and I talk too fast and don't give the jokes room to breathe.

    The One about Words Mar 06, 2022
    Show notes

    A light hearted romp about how a murderous psychopath gets his mojo back and the most complicated academic endeavor in history that didn't include some kind of math. Alexander Graham Bell makes a cameo, and JRR Tolkein gets told to sit down and shut up.

    How to Overthrow a Government Dec 31, 2020
    Show notes

    Throughout history there have been many reasons citizens chose to overthrow a government; religious persecution, oppression, lack of equal representation...and perhaps most important of all - bananas.

    Propaganda for Fun and Profit Feb 03, 2020
    Show notes

    The term propaganda has been dragged through the mud by those wacky communists and lighthearted dictators who prevent their citizens from accessing any information regarding the outside world...but did you know that Propaganda can be fun!

    Find out how the bitter taste of propaganda magically improves with a twist of capitalism! What does Jesus and Feminism have to do with smoking? Why is breakfast the most important meal of the day? What determines the insurance value of a butt? All this, and more!

    How Drug Dealers created America's Most Popular Sport Jul 28, 2019
    Show notes

    If there is one thing unemployed people like to do is get drunk. This is the story of how The Great Depression, Prohibition, a little bath tub hooch and a lot of horsepower collided to produce one of the most boring spectacles on Earth - NASCAR.


    You Go Glen Coco! - The Story of "Coco" Chanel Mar 11, 2019
    Show notes

    Building a business empire that lasts more than 100 years beyond its inception is no easy task. The road is even tougher if you're an orphaned girl in early 1900's France.

    The name Chanel, however, lives on. It's a story of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds through seduction, resiliency, and little white lies. Throughout history there are countless examples of people using brute strength to win a battle. There is only one who did it in a little black dress.

    This is the story of Coco Chanel
