Delete Everything Podcast
By deleteeverythingpodcast
Is it comedy? Is it history? Yes. Join us as we tame this vicious two-headed beast of our own creation and explore the depths of forgotten histories that have been deleted from our collective consciousnesses.
In this week's episode, the boys are chatting about what happens when a remodeling project in the heart of Cappadocia, Turkey uncovers a millennia-old marvel that's been forgotten for generations. Somehow, the questions of who used it, how it was used, and how it was forgotten are the even bigger mysteries.
In this, our first Monthly Mini in over a year, the fellas are talking a bit more about executions and the U.S. justice system in light of the recently botched execution of Christa Pike. Add to that the recent announcement that Nidal Hasan’s federal execution by firing squad will be live streamed and we’re left with some questions. Specifically, how much of this is punishment, how much is retribution, and how much is just macho, bully, bullsh*t?
In this week’s episode, the guys are celebrating a holiday and talking about a guy… a guy that we think is pretty stupid and awful, but enough about Fred Durst. We also talk about Christopher Columbus, who we also think was pretty stupid and awful. If you’re a fan of either man, you might want to skip this one.
In this week’s episode, the guys are talking about how a sensitive, idealistic, young doctor became a revolutionary, partisan fighter and how things turned out once he achieved victory. Also, it turns out that Patrick dislikes Argentinians with the same white, hot passion that Argentinians dislike everyone who isn’t a fancy, cosmopolitan European.
In this week’s episode, the boys discuss the death penalty in the U.S. Why do we have it? Why don’t we use it more? Why don’t we use it less? What’s up with it going away in the 70s and then coming back? It’s all very confusing and convoluted… and sometimes things don’t go according to plan. Strap in and find out how we feel about it.
In this week’s episode, the guys are talking about the clever and meticulous Friday Night Bank Robber. What made a troubled kid who had turned his life around return to a life of crime? What made a criminal with such a specific, years-long methodology deviate from his proven methods? We don’t know the answers to these or any of the other questions in this episode, but we’re going to speculate regardless.
In this week’s episode, the fellas talk about a pseudoscience that’s maybe a real science sometimes, but is also a pseudoscience most of the time, and we suddenly understand how so many people were driven mad in their alchemical pursuits… the shots of mercury are just a bonus. So join us for piss wizards, 6-cylinder platypus, and a less traditional recipe for making a baby.
In this week’s episode, the boys are celebrating Labor Day and talking about their least favorite places to be forced into labor. What’s worse, an island, surrounded by jungles, and thousands of miles from home, or somewhere much closer to home, but with much more brutal work and awful history? The answer involves rodeos!
In this week’s episode, the guys are talking about how worldwide demand for guano impacted world markets. We’re heaping on piles of information about the folks who worked in the industry, from the guys who worked the guano fissures, to their very analytical bosses. There will be zero puns, we’re only talking about guano mining in continents where it occurred.
In this week’s episode, the fellas are traveling the Eastern Mediterranean on the search for Sea People. Were they the cause of the end of the Bronze Age, were they just one of several factors, or were they just a symptom of a larger disease? Written by Christopher Nolan
In this week’s episode, the guys are going into the rainforest to chase ghosts and legends. From pre-Colombian settlements, to lying wannabe archaeologist spies, to the technology that turned rumors of a lost civilization into an actual discovery… and if that’s not enough to get your attention, there’s also a Monkey Curse!
In this week’s episode, the boys are stomping through the hollers of West Virginia in search of our favorite hillbilly cryptids. And yes, before you ask, we talk about Mothman. So come on in, pull up a chair, and place your bets on our Snollygoster vs. Snallygaster death match on this, Part 5 of our Cryptids Series!
In week’s this episode, Riley and Patrick discuss the complexities of how marriage laws evolved through English colonial territories, survived revolution and independence, and became so ingrained that disassembling them became a massive boondoggle, requiring the Supreme Court to allow a quiet, kind, modest family to return to their home and raise their children. So join us for hot takes on Thomas Jefferson, Sybian machines, blue people, and a set of codes that you can just add rules to when it suits you.
In this week’s episode, the fellas hypothesize on how crazy it must have been to be the first people to find dinosaur bones. We also mispronounce almost every scientific name we come across. RIP Dr. Alan Grant, we’ll miss you.
In this week's episode, the guys dissect the history of whaling and how it drove industry and naval innovation for years. We also talk a whole lot about blubber, seamen, Moby DICK, and SPERM whales... because, you know, that's our bread and butter, baby! So grab your rucksack, climb aboard, and get ready to spend two and a half years with the same 20 guys hunting aquatic gods.
In this week's episode, the guys are bringing back Corporate Cults and talking about one real unlikeable fella. Come join us as we chant corporate mantras, attend weird conferences and summer camps, and inflate the ego of WeWork founder Adam Neumann. We definitely don't say anything negative about him or his incredible wife... we'd rather not be the subject of litigation, especially in light of our financial issues we address in the intro.
In this week’s episode, the gang is getting into the slightly more modern history of psychiatry. We’re talking treatment methods that seem more cruel than competent and how psychiatric hospitals became bonafide diddle factories for people to sexually exploit the powerless. It’s not an easy topic to make jokes around, but we manage to find a way.
In this week’s episode, the fellas are going way back in time to uncover the humble beginnings of psychiatry. From people who were legitimately clinically ill to people who were just inconvenient, we’re talking about the road to modern psychiatry and exactly how we got from avoiding those cursed by the gods to direct intervention… for better or for worse.
In this week’s episode, the guys are celebrating Father’s Day by talking about some of the raddest dads we can find. From the dad who started it all, to the wizard dad we all wish we had, to the dad who’s mission to help his ailing child created the setting for millions of teenagers to learn important lessons about where NOT to be intimate, these dads are all beyond worthy of their Rad Dad trophies!
In this week’s episode, the guys are exploring the evolution of Cambodian rock n’ roll and its decimation after the overthrow of the government by the Khmer Rouge. We even added a cool soundtrack that will almost certainly get the episode flagged, but we don’t care. Enjoy!
