In Episode 20 we are joined by the hilarious by Educator Andrea for a wild rewrite of 1850 Los Angeles history. As Pio Pico and Arcadia Bandini, they’ll bribe senators, blackmail rivals, and maybe—just maybe—accidentally start a war. It’s land barons, chaos, and corruption... with a side of fries. And if you think they’re the good guys? Think again.

Takeaways:

“From Fast Food to Land Fraud” – It all starts with fries in a rental car and ends with controlling the birth of Los Angeles. How did we get here?

“Pio Pico and Arcadia Bandini Become the Villains (and They Love It)” – These two quickly go from worried landowners to manipulative power players. Let’s just say the word “bribery” comes up… a lot.

“We May Have Started a Fake Rebellion… Oops” – Desperate to keep their land, the duo orchestrates a chaotic uprising that gets very out of hand.

“One Rogue Ranchero. One Real Attack. One Huge Problem.” – It was all going according to plan… until Gus decided to go full chaos mode.

“A Forged Letter, A Framed Rival, and an Untouchable Empire” – When all else fails, just blame someone else and fake the receipts. That’s what heroes do… right?
