Bonus Episode 35: Christopher Walken VS. Christopher Reeves

So, my first term in college, I decided to major in history and archaeology. Did I dream about fighting Nazis with a whip and getting artifacts that make people’s face melt? Who doesn’t. Did I more realistically want a job where I sit in a ditch in the middle of nowhere and dig a hole with paintbrush so as not to upset anything. Yes, yes I did. Isolation. Patience. Being paid to cultivate boredom. Sounds good to me.

However, cut to my first history class. The teacher was so boring that the motion sensors would turn out in the middle of class. Keep in mind that there were 50 people sitting in desks, plus the professor in front of the room. Perfect stillness. Boredom that even digging a hole with a paint brush was too much for. I changed my major to English.

Why am I telling you this? Because this Bonus Episode of The Sofa King Podcast is one in which we take to answering history questions that our listeners posted on our face book group. They are intense history questions, and we answer them without being so boring we make the lights go out. What questions you ask?

Could Hitler beat Saddam in a Punch Up?

Would Jesus have chose rock, paper, or scissors every time?

What does the D stand for in D-Day?

Who was Corporal Wojtek?

What ailment did Napoleon have during Waterloo?

And many more! So, if you want a solid history lesson without all that…you know…history, then this is the episode for you. I strongly suggest you don’t use our answers on your midterm, however, if you hope to graduate. And if you really want to graduate–from lame to awesome–join our Patreon page and donate for more bonus content!
