106 - The Past Times with Luke Simmons

Dec 27, 2024
Luke Simmons joins the hosts for a riotous exploration of history and humor. The conversation kicks off with wild tales from his college days, including an epic absinthe-fueled paintball duel. They dive into the comical escapades of E.S. Peake, the man behind a fake concert, and debate the absurdity of odd historical advertisements. With gut-busting stories featuring tacos made from amputated legs and a musician’s laughable horse heist, it’s a hilarious mix of absurdity, comedy, and critiques of societal norms.
