Fascinators!

The boys are laying low this week and making sure everything is in order. Evan is back from a lovely day at the spa and decided to take a trip down the rabbit hole of Finnish Sauna Culture. Meanwhile, Ken has been looking into taking out a policy for his biceps and the history of insurance.

Has someone ever told you you couldn't do something, so you went above and beyond to do it? Did you ever wonder what the free love movement and the worlds largest silverware company have in common? If you answered yes to either of those questions then boy do we have an episode for you.

It's officially been a full year of Fascinators! Evan and Ken are celebrating with two tales of frightening fashion and a battle for the discovery of the North Pole. Put on your thinking caps and tune in to an all-timer!

It's college bowl season and that can only mean one thing, ludicrous sponsorships! Evan and Ken are back to talk about advertising, owning a stadium, and the reason why the government is storing 1.4 billion pounds of cheese under Missouri.

Can you imagine a library without alphabetical order? Do you know which Beatles song almost got shot into space? Who do you think owns the most land in the world (hint, in third place is a woman named Gina)? Find the answers to all of those questions and more on this episode of Fascinators!

Trees, HOA's, and Walt Disney; three things that are deceptively wild. Find out about some beef between neighbors in New Jersey, an indestructible plastic home, and why Disney really moved to Florida on this week's episode!

The boys are literally back in town on this one. Evan and Ken return to the studio where it all started for another in-person recording.

(No, not you Van Gogh!)

Boo! It's officially Spooky Season and the Atkinson boys are talking about the fascinating stories behind some classic Halloween staples. Ken talks about the true story of Dracula and why a gargoyle might not actually be a gargoyle while Evan talks about the most frightening place of all, Chuck E. Cheese!

This week we're learning about some of history's greatest grifters and a man who was quoted so many times, the AP had to issue a memo to tell their reporters to avoid him. Find out why we might need to worry about the owner of the world's first iPhone and how you might be able to own the Statue of Liberty.

This week on Fascinators we're talking about endless business deals and unkillable people. Find out why the New York Mets begrudgingly celebrate Bobby Bonilla day and how the inventor of the saxophone almost died a dozen times before the age of 10. It's Fascinating Stuff!
