Hey fans! Wanted to get out this bonus footage of us discussing a film that we feel more people should know about. The movie is titled Revolution and stars Al Pacino and Donald Sutherland -- the story of a New York fur trader in 1776 that has a little too much to prove and falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy loyalist family. It's available for free on YouTube...make sure you keep an eye out for the MOLE. Make sure you like, share and subscribe. New episode still coming as planned this Thursday!

What happens when two country bozos finds their way into the big city? We are finally back in person for this episode to give a review of our visit to The Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia (https://www.amrevmuseum.org/). Jon broke the bank and paid an extra $20 ($10 for each of us) to get a "personalized" tour of the exhibit -- which leads up to a literal "through the looking glass"-view of a special piece of canvas that had an intimate relationship with a pretty great dude. Do you think it was up to the Nailing History standard? Listen and find out! Make sure you stay tuned for another "Editor's Note" that almost doubles the duration of our original recording.

Introducing "Nailing History," the podcast where two friends attempt to nail down historical facts like they're trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the manual. Join Matt and Jon (or Jon and…
In each episode, Matt and Jon pick a historical event that tickles their curiosity (and occasionally their funny bone) and dissect it like a frog in biology class—except they're the frogs, and they have no idea what they're doing. From ancient civilizations to modern mishaps, they cover it all with the finesse of a bull in a china shop.
But wait, there's more! In between butchering historical names and dates, Matt and Jon take a break to explore the intersection of history and pop culture. Ever wondered if Cleopatra would have been a TikTok sensation? Yeah, neither have they, but that won't stop them from imagining it in excruciating detail.
So grab your popcorn and prepare to laugh, cringe, and possibly learn something (though don't hold your breath). With Matt and Jon leading the charge, "Nailing History" is the only podcast where you're guaranteed to leave scratching your head and questioning everything you thought you knew about the past. After all, who needs a PhD when you've got two clueless buddies and a microphone?
