The Brotherhood visits the KY Bourbon Fest in Bardstown, KY. Also known as the Holy Land, and not just because it's considered the home of Bourbon. Three days of bourbon tasting and soaking up the ambience that comes from hundreds, if not more, of bourbon fans from all across the world. Yes, the world. Someone was apparently from Australia.

Martin captains our first "new format" Code of Honor where the Captain now rules!

At Martin's able direction, we go back to forever-flowing well of Friedrich Nietzsche and discuss the general sanity of individuals versus the general insanity of groups.

Things get lively with five guys to bat this one around!

The Brotherhood of Snakes and Otters takes a look at Helter Skelter phenomenon.

No, not the Beatles song.

Or the cover by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Or the latter one by U2.

Who was Charles Manson, how did he create his cult and keep them under his sway? Perhaps most importantly, what influences did he have on society and the culture?

Robert the Hammer captains our search for meaning once again as all five members of the Brotherhood postulate meaningful (and sometimes hilarious) quotations from points all across time and space!

Join Snakes and Otters as they take a look at the beginnings of Manifest Destiny in the United States. What was Manifest Destiny? What drove the people of the day to expand the U.S. from "sea to shining sea"?

Listen in as the Mirror Universe version of Snakes and Otters takes over our 200th episode!

SERPENTS AND BEAVERS!!!!

Join the boys for a discussion of meaningful quotes that take us deep into what it means to be human, to be a good person or just stuff people should ponder once in a while. 

Snakes & Otters expands to five! Cajun and Marcus Aurelius join Martin, Robert and Francis in the Official Brotherhood of Snakes and Otters to talk about one of, if not THE, greatest dynasties in history: The Hapsburgs. 

Martin captains and the guys analyze some great quotes about what it means to have good government.

Francis stands in the prow of the boat and the guys work through all the phases of figuring out the question: "Ok, we won, now what?" Also, big news on discussion as well.
