Holy heavyweights! A raging battle that's been 75 years in the making!

Round 5: Marius vs. Sulla

History wreaks havoc once again! Tales of factuality triumph over terrible tragedy! Words of wisdom are imparted by the wise and the whimsical! What we're saying is, it's that time again for the Historical portion of the program, as the Historical Heathen forcibly ties the Fictional Freemason down on the railroad tracks of Past Events to verbally spout factoids set not so close to their own native soil.

Round 4: Darth Vs. Doom

Villainous things are happening in the latest edition of Konjectural Kombat, as the ball is once again found in the Fictional Fuck-up's court... until he needs the Historical Heathen to help him, because they're actually both on pretty equal footing when it comes to the subjects of today's bout! But regardless, the time has come to once again conjecture about two characters who exist in culture of the pop variety, pitting two of the most fearsome caped villains in all of fiction-dom against each...

So prepare for emanicipation with blood, steel yourselves against electoral carnage, and dread four more years of death and destruction, bec...

Round 2: Who vs. Highlander

Are you ready for another bout? Because it's time, once again, to celebrate the glorious carnage of two figures factual or fictional duking it out for the sheer amusement of two fanboys with nothing better to do with their time! And in this episode, for the very first time ever it's the latter, as the Historical Hick (Matt Johnson) finds himself in the listener's chair, becoming privy to the Fictional Fanboy's (Alex Koch) slave devotion to all things make believe! Witness a clash of the ages as ...

Round 1: Jones vs. Marcinko

In Round One, listen in as the Historical Hick (Matt Johnson) spins a yarn and teaches the Fictional Fanboy (Alex Koch) a thing or two about both the man who helped found the US Navy and the man who, two centuries later, would best them at every turn! In the first Historical bout, the mad ship captain turned thief of plates, John Paul Jones, sets sail on a course to kick the ass of ass-kicker extraordinaire and the man the military didn't want you to know about, Richard "Dynamite Dick" Marcinko!...
