Washington 20 - Kanye Cabal
March 16, 2018 16:53 - 44 minutes - 20.6 MBOH BOY! This episode, Ryan decides to drink a little bit too much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Regardless, we push through… General Horatio Gates scores a massive win at Saratoga. He manages to capture the British General John Burgoyne. This is YUGE! After this win, people start crap-talking George behind his back. Congress decides that Georges needs a little help (aka, they want more say over Washington’s actions); so they design the Board of War to meddle in his affair a little bit. Washington learns of all...
Washington 19 - Four Redcoats, One Cup

Then we learn about how Howe beats Georgie’s tush and eventually takes Philadelphia. Washington attempts to fight back, but that doesn't go well either.
Washington 18 - Spy So Hard III: The Covert Climax
January 08, 2018 01:03 - 57 minutes - 26.3 MBMy its been a long time. Sorry for the break, we have been busy celebrating the holidays. Also, one of us had all of our audio recording equipment stolen. Anyways... This podcast we take a trip down south and abroad. Basically, we have been talking a lot about military and political actions in the northern part of the colonies. The south was kind of on board with the British; they didn’t want much to change. Nathanael Green was in charge of the patriot actions in the south; as a mentee of Ge...
Washington 17 - Spy So Hard II: Sons Out, Guns Out
November 07, 2017 20:40 - 43 minutes - 19.9 MBThis week we continue to talk about espionage in the Revolutionary War.

Samuel Adams (not the beer) was one of the groups major players in this group; however, he did not found it, contrary to popular belief. We also have a discussion about a guy named John Jay… He basically tried to make figuring out who was an enemy spy and who wasn’t a standard process. Up until Jay,...
Washington 16 - Spy So Hard I: The Awakening

Washington 15 - Groupies of War
September 01, 2017 18:31 - 49 minutes - 22.8 MBFor this show, Justin and I went to Home Depot, purchased some tiki torches, and recorded this show basking in their soft, flickering glow… It’s all the rage.

This show covers some pretty epic moments in early American history. One scene from today's episode was reimagined by painter Emanuel Leutz. 'Washingtons crossing the Deleware' is one of the most iconic images of the revolutionary war; however, the image is far from what actually happened that cold Christmas day 1776.
Washington 13 - George Wept
June 03, 2017 15:35 - 58 minutes - 26.8 MBWell, It’s a little embarrassing when you are the Commander and Chief of an army and the fort named after you gets overtaken by your enemy.

Washington 11 - Howe... Did You Get Here?
April 01, 2017 21:40 - 51 minutes - 23.6 MBThe master stratigizers for the British show up on the scene; one of these guys had the nickname Black Dick, so we know they definitely were NOT playing any freggin’ games. We also talk about the Declaration of Independence and the effect it’s signing had overseas and within the colonies. Also, if anyone is actually reading these, leave me a little note on Facebook or send me an email [email protected]… otherwise, I’m just going to start leaving a joke here or maybe just copy random news ar...
Washington 10 - Magic Mike XXXL
March 22, 2017 20:03 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBEvery leader needs a few good men… When it came to George’s security detail, he wanted a few good looking men.

As we learn, he should have been a little less concerned with looks and a little more concerned with their loyalty towards him.
Washington 9 - The First Continental Breakfast
March 02, 2017 23:36 - 1 hour - 34.4 MBIf you could pick anyone from any period in time; who do you think could have done a better job at being the general of the revolutionary forces?

Washington 7 - One Dolla Holla
February 02, 2017 22:40 - 59 minutes - 27.5 MBGeorge Washington may be on the $1 bill, but he was certainly not a man made of money.

What’s a man to do when he seems to outspend himself at every turn? … That discussion and more on this episode of POTUS life.
Washington 6 - The BEST Thrower
February 02, 2017 22:35 - 57 minutes - 26.5 MBOne cup Religion, 3 tsp. magical springs, a deck of playing cards, a pinch of bribery, some poop problems and a dash of Charles Willson Peale. Bake for one hour.
