In this hilariously petty episode of The Low Expectations Podcast, Nicole and Lyndsay shine a spotlight on some of history’s most ridiculous grudges—the kind that involve birds, bread, and epic blunders that make high school drama look tame.

🦤 From a military operation defeated by flightless birds to wars ignited over pastries, we uncover the pettiest reasons powerful people have gone to battle, held a grudge, or just thrown history into chaos.

🥐 In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The Great Emu War: when Australia tried to fight birds—and lost
• The Pastry War: when a French baker started an international conflict
• Insults, vendettas, and absurd overreactions that changed the course of history
• Proof that sometimes, history is just messy, petty, and weirdly relatable

Whether you’re into absurd military history, food-related feuds, or just enjoy a good “can you believe this happened?” moment, this episode is pure chaotic gold.
