Doomed to Fail

This week Taylor goes way back before year 0 to talk about Cleopatra and her bf Mark Antony. 2000 year old spoiler alert. > She’s powerful and also a woman, and also had another bf named Julias Ceaser. NBD. Everyone dies horribly.Farz talks about this horrific more recent story of Chris Watts and how he’s the absolute worst and killed his family. If you are ever in the middle of murdering a group of people and you stop to think, maybe I don’t have to murder EVERYONE in this group? You are right! Just leave, stop murdering.

It’s our 10th Episode!!! We are stoked; thank you for your support! We decided to finally cover the stories in our theme song!Farz tells the incredible story of OJ Simpson. There’s stuff in here that even Taylor didn’t know! It’s a wild ride from the top of your game to accused murderer to memorabilia stealer to… just an old guy in Florida? You would never have guessed this if you knew OJ in the 70s.Taylor tried to do Jackie and JFK, but, we’ve all heard that. So, she went into the “Kennedy Curse” We don’t believe in curses, but we DO believe that rich people do stupid shit. Like flying their own airplanes, playing Ski Football, giving their children lobotomies, and lots of driving the under the influence with no consequences.Farz was visiting his fam in Dallas so his sound isn’t the best and we talk over each other a lot. We’re sorry.
