Delete This History

It's time to psych you up with some fascinating information about platonic affection and a famous historical trial that both made and broke an eminent psychiatrist. Plus, do you know your lithiated beverages and your U.S. DOJ history? (You're in good DTH Bestie company, if you don't.) This ain't a history podcast, but you wouldn't know it from this episode. Oh, well, sometimes the podcasting Venn diagram just overlaps a little more than other times. Strap in and get ready for another adventure with the DTH Gals.

Episode 100. Somehow…they’re still here.No weekly searches. No normal flow. Cara and Brea blow up the format with surprise segments, a lightning round of trivia, and a full rewind of the things they’ve Googled over the last 99 episodes.Brea flips the script and puts Cara in the hot seat and Cara gives the DTH Besties and survival kit they never knew the needed.Press play and learn a few things you didn’t know about the gals!

The DTH Gals are goin' back to the 90s to talk about some cool beans music, because they are UNHINGED, or... Patrick Swayze ("crazy") or David Blaine ("insane"). That's right... get ready to learn some British slang that, on the surface, makes no sense and may put a look of confusion on your boat race, but it won't cost you any bees and honey, and you won't get into any Rubble learning about it. Are you Sheffield United ("excited") to bubble bath ("laugh")? Get a listen on!

February is finally over and Cara and Brea are adjusting to life without football… and apparently without folding laundry. A quick round of “Search Me” leads to rented pineapples and the truth about artificial sweeteners that made some lab rats side-eye their coffee. If you like nightmares and elementary PTSD, stick around for grade school policies from the 80s and 90s such as lice checks, the swish, presidential fitness tests nobody trained for, and scoliosis screenings that would never fly today. Then Brea introduces Cara to a piece of Korean slang that perfectly describes one of their biggest pet peeves: the “finger princess.” Once you hear it, you’ll immediately know a few. Press play, reminisce about your school days, and maybe learn a new insult along the way. This is Ep. 98 of Delete This History “Kachunk…Look it Up.”

This week, the DTH Gals take you on a history field trip to the site of a little-known US war and share some lazy-ass exercise ideas.

This week’s episode starts with rain and motivational quotes and somehow ends up in death row dinner research, forgotten cash, and late ’90s diet pills. No lessons. No moral arc. Just two besties learning, unlearning, oversharing, and laughing. Press play and find out.

If you had a massive amount of displaced dirt--literally--where would you put it? Could digging tunnels be the answer to all of our erosion problems? Cara explores. Plus, Brea explains the fascinating science and people behind solving some of the world's oldest, toughest cold cases. There's also the typical amount of silliness, including the age old question... "Who shot JR?"

Episode 94 goes from nail-biting confessions to Olympic-level scandal. Cara and Brea unpack a very unexpected cheating controversy, explore why rom-coms made a comeback, discuss the power of breast milk donation, and debunk some Wild West myths that Hollywood definitely lied to us about. Throw in some winter weather hijink by Brea's SO and a New Bestie Alert you’ve got a classic Delete This History spiral you didn’t know you needed.

This week, the DTH Gals grapple with a case of the gabs, but they manage to convey SOME information about their internet searches after some lengthy discussions about the Olympics and how to make basketball better, plus how expensive a visiting comedian's tickets are. If all their babbling had been included, you'd still be listening to this episode before next week's episode comes ouot. Too. much. information... or not. You be the judge on another episode of Delete This History.

An off-schedule morning podcast recording starts calmly and then, predictably, doesn’t stay that way. Cara and Brea talk energy, motivation, and the low-grade exhaustion that comes from being the person who notices everything. There are questionable choices, new words no one asked for, and observations about modern life. Some things are learned, several things are judged, and nothing is fixed. Welcome to Episode 92 of Delete This History!

This all new episode finds Brea and Cara doing what they do best: following one thought straight into 47 tangents. From banana pudding recipes and Walmart guilt, to new teen drivers and broken bridges.The gals discuss termite mounds and Jägermeister which leads to nostalgic tales of questionable 20-something decisions. Brea reveals her newest guilty pleasure while Cara whines about waking at 6:00am every work day.Same besties, same curious brains, same internet rabbit holes. Let's go!

The DTH Gals have already told you about "interesting" foods from around the world; now it's time for Cara to help you take a hard look at American culinary weirdness. Plus, what's white, fluffy, and falls from the sky in the winter but isn't snow? Brea has the deets on this less common weather phenomenon. All that plus some WWII history and some cat psychology this week on Delete This History.Additional music this week: "Lonesome Bachelor" by Kevin Graham.

The DTH Gals get really silly (you don't say) talkin' ab0ut dead U.S. Presidents' butts and a cult movie classic they both adore. Plus, Brea tries to hijack Cara's main search topic, and Cara gives us all a Latin refresher. As usual, there are giggles galore, and nothing is sacred.

Episode 88 kicks off in full six-seven mode as Cara and Brea attempt to decode and dethrone Gen Z nonsense and discuss why cold-brew cocktails are a crime against tomorrow morning. Recorded in the liminal haze of Christmas Eve Eve Eve, the DTH Gals have some follow-ups for the DTH Besties to help close those wide open loops of info from previous episodes. Then they cover the meaning of dub con and things go from "interesting" to "absolutely not" with traditional holiday foods from around the globe. Along the way, they unpack toxic winter dating trends, defend rom-coms against trope-trashing teens, square-mouth cry over The Family Stone, and marvel at the record setting number of searches Brea had over the past week. It’s festive, it’s unhinged, it’s thought-provoking, it’s sort of funny. It's six seven.

What's the first physical feature you notice when you meet a person for the first time? Listen to find out what the DTH Gals spot and fixate on. Also, if you think death is the ultimate statute of limitations for prosecution, you'll want to hear the wild tale Cara's dug up for you. Myths, legends, and stories that are stranger than fiction--all this week on Delete This History (not a history podcast, but we sometimes play one on your favorite podcast app).

The DTH Gals are this close to 100 episodes and… doing absolutely nothing extra about it. Cara and Brea kick things off by complaining about traffic (great story, Grandma), questionable driving decisions, and the kind of brain fog that induces Christmas tree panic. From there, you know how it goes, DTH Besties: Irish breakfasts, apple-and-cheese-dinners, Scottish desserts, tiny hitchhikers, Peelers, and Brea's true feelings about parades. Welcome to Episode #86! #DeleteThisHistoryPodcast #DTHGals #PodcastBesties #SharedHistory #MondayEnergy #RandomKnowledge

Brea and Cara keep it zestfully clean (well... relatively), safe, and silly while discussing homeland security, philosophy, and mental health. As usual, there's an insane amount of unplanned crossover with their search histories (even the boring searches) and their "Search Me!" questions, and some of the conversation goes off the rails, but that's what you've come to know and love and why you keep listening.

After a bit of a hiatus filled with a surgeries and mental recharging, the DTH Gals are BACK. In this episode, Brea and Cara cover lots of ground including but not limited to: vuvuzelas (NO), Thunderbuns, deviled kidneys (also NO), lots of IMDB searches, and a few shoutouts to some DTH Besties.
