Clown Hour may have reached a conclusion, but these clowns haven't. Far from it actually. Not unlike clowning that goes back for millennia, which while they, as well as the world, might have changed since their first outing, the idea of a clown hasn't. Or has it? Well, Jacob and Alex did some research for once to find out. From clowns serving as heads of religion in Egypt in 2000 B.C to the beginnings of clowning in Shakespearean to the 2016 Clown Scare that led to the banning of clown costumes in stores, to the racism perhaps inbredded in modern-day clowning, all will be clowned upon. This podcast will challenge people's perceptions of clowns, and make them realize that maybe clowns are more complex and only slightly less creepy than they thought.

To celebrate the fact that at the end of the day they can still be clowns, Alex and Jacob decided to create this special celebrating the week of August 1 through 7. Or more specifically International Clown Week. So -- always ahead of the curb and innovative in their comedy -- they published this podcast two weeks after it.  To quote Alex: "Since Out last podcast, we've been able to reevaluate what our podcast is going to be. And the thing is our podcast is going to be nothing. So what that means is that we'll just do a history of clowns or something, because of International Clown Week."
