Almost Intelligents

This week, the boys interview Vlad the Monk—the pious half-brother of Vlad the Impaler who waited out his brother's reign of terror, then quietly took the throne and spent the rest of his life donating to monasteries to make up for it. It gets awkward. Fast.

Plus: Scott tries to figure out whether "I was hiding in Transylvania the whole time" counts as a strategy, and Angus realizes that "the brother who didn't impale anyone" is a surprisingly low bar for sainthood.

Warning: Contains historical tangents, existential dread, detailed descriptions of impalement that nobody asked for, and some not-so-subtle sexual innuendos about what exactly a monk was doing leaving the monastery to become a prince.

This episode on Almost IntelliGENTS, Angus Bangus and Scott White dig up the world's most infamous cave-dweller and ask the questions nobody else had the clearance to ask, just in time for the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Angus wants to know why a guy with a billionaire family fortune would downgrade to a compound with no Wi-Fi, while Scott points out that biting the hand that trained you is objectively bad game theory.

Join the boys as they explore:

• The fact that Bin Laden reportedly loved The Matrix and Die Hard, then became the villain in both
• Whether 20+ kids counts as a "raid party" or just bad resource management
• And what was really found on this terrorist's computer 

It's history's most wanted man, reviewed by two guys who can barely manage their own schedules. One brought vibes. One brought facts. Neither brought a moral compass.

Almost IntelliGENTS. Dead people. Dumb questions. Occasionally educational.

This week, the boys interview Johann Gottlieb Fichte—the German philosopher who accidentally shaped both the Holocaust and the public education system. It gets awkward. Fast.

Plus: Loaf discovers the "excellent adventure" of causing chaos through philosophy, and Angus realizes some jokes write themselves.

Warning: Contains historical tangents, existential dread, and some not-so-subtle sexual innuendos.
