In this episode of "Nailing History" with Matt and Jon, brace yourself for a whirlwind tour through the corridors of the past with a generous sprinkling of adult humor!

First up, Jon regales us with tales from his recent jaunt to Ol' George Mason's mansion. But hold onto your tricorns, because this wasn't your run-of-the-mill historical tour. Jon's escapades had more twists and turns than a historical soap opera, complete with unexpected encounters that even surprised the ghost of Ol' George himself. Who knew historical tourism could be this adrenaline-pumping?

Next, in our "This Week in History" segment, we delve into the eyebrow-raising partnership between Italy and Germany during WWII. Forget about geopolitical strategy; it's all about the drama when Mussolini and Hitler join forces. Will their bromance stand the test of time, or will it crumble faster than a sandcastle at high tide?

But wait, there's scandal aplenty! We take a juicy detour into the love life of Jerry Lee Lewis and his eyebrow-raising choice for a second wife. Let's just say, when it comes to marrying your cousin once removed, it's less "Great Balls of Fire" and more "Great Balls, What Were You Thinking?" Spoiler alert: things don't end well for Jerry Lee. Turns out, even rock 'n' roll legends can't escape the consequences of their questionable decisions.

And in a shocking twist, we discuss a certain president's brazen move to tamper with the Constitution by ditching the writ of habeas corpus. Because who needs legal safeguards when you've got presidential power and a penchant for constitutional gymnastics? Let's just hope this episode doesn't become exhibit A in a future impeachment trial.

Last but certainly not least, we take our first fan phone call! And before you ask, no, it wasn't our dear old moms. Turns out, our listeners have more burning questions about Jon's adventures than we ever imagined. History buffs, prepare for scandalous shenanigans and a healthy dose of irreverent humor from your favorite podcast hosts!
