The Queen of New Jersey, Comedian Jackie Bryne joins us again to talk about Sarah Lockwood Winchester, the Heiress to the Winchester Firearms Fortune.

In the final installment of our Three Parter on Tammany Hall, we join the Hall right after the arrest of "Boss" Tweed and cover their continued corruption, feuds and eventual destruction at the hands of Fiorello LaGuardia. This episode contains Tammany's run ins with the likes of William Randolph Hearst, Lucky Luciano, Teddy Roosevelt, JP Morgan and we accidentally uncover the history of the New York Yankees and Jello along the way. This one was a blast. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

PART 2 of 3 on our history of Tammany Hall, the most corrupt political machine in the history of New York City (so far)...Episode one covers their humble start and rise to power so that we can dedicate the ENTIRE second episode to William "Boss" Tweed, the man that ran New York City like a King. We talk about the good, the bad and the downright ugly in this episode. Thanks for listening!

Our most ambitious topic yet, LP and I will need all three episodes to tell this story properly. We start with the humble beginnings of the Sons of St. Tammany, a Men's club that morphed into the most powerful political machine in all of New York City. We cover Aaron Burr's use of it to sway elections, Tammany's feud with the powerful Clinton family and end this episode on Mayor Fernando Woods' role in the LEGENDARY "New York City Police Riot" in the infamous "Five Points". Part Two lands next week...I have a feeling you'll be back! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In honor of Kp's return to Florida, we tackle one of America's biggest legends and losers, Osceola of the Seminole Wars. This legend lives up to the hype, LP and Kahuna and still stuck up in frozen NJ, so I brought in two of my favorite Florida comics, Jeff Zenisek and Chris Buck to help tell this ridiculous story.
