Robert sets the controls for the heart of the sun in this Code of Honor episode. Features words of wisdom from Robert Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln and Voltaire. Bonus wisdom from Saint Thomas More right from Francis' memory too! 

Francis takes the conn with this history episode as the guys examine the interwar period and the rise of fanatical ultranationalist movements. 

Martin takes the big chair this week and the guys run through Mack Bolan, Frank Castle, Bruce Wayne, Paul Kersey and other iconic media vigilantes. Of course we have to figure out how bloodthirsty maniacs out for revenge became cultural icons. 

"Now he belongs to the ages." Not sure what else we can put in the description. Francis runs the convention here and we talk all things Abe.

Robert is captaining the flatboat this week and the guys do Lincoln quotes to delve into the man's influence and character.

Francis has the Kapitanskoye kreslo (Captain's chair for those who don't savvy the Russian lingo) and thirty years after the event talks the guys through the story of the 1991 Russian Coup attempt.

The guys delve deep into how three days in August that year led to the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union and sent Soviet Communism to the ash heap of history. Martin has been anxiously awaiting this one. 

Robert is the pit master this episode and the guys talk the joys of smoked meats, great sides and road trips. 

Robert takes the conn for an exploration of his favorite type of fiction, the 'what if?' story. We examine it from all sort of perspectives, and have a few laughs along the way too. 

Francis has the conn and the guys talk life and work of Ernest Hemingway. The craft. the craft. 

Francis captains and we talk his favorite Man's Man, Ernest Hemingway and his words of wisdom.
