The Dunce Caps

Rob and Chris learn about what early colonial life was like and what lead to the French and Indian War. A moving sermon of Fireball and New England clam chowder leaves us quite full and sleepy. A young surveyor by the name of George Washington gets punk'd by the French, but will he have the last laugh?

TLDR: It's a Colonial Life.

Rob and Chris learn about Colonial America and all the religious baggage that Europeans brought here. The colonists in the North put on a fashion show to distract the Native Americans while they steal their land. Meanwhile in the South, Georgia forms a human buffer separating Spain and their sculpted, tan bodies from the rest of the flabby, pale colonists to the North. Also, Brazilian Jews make a surprise appearance!

TLDR: Sorry Native Americans, here come the colonies!

Rob and Chris learn the real reason why Europeans came to America: spices! Is Jay-Z a direct descendant of Mansa Musa? Will Henry Hudson every shut up about that stupid road? All this and more in another thrillingly educational episode!

TLDR: Europe comes to America in search of spices, leave disappointed.

Rob and Chris learn about the first Americans and what scholars refer to as "Prehistory". The Asians won't stop Tokyo drifting all over the place and farmers markets establish their place fondly in American consumers' hearts. The Aztecs then proceed to eat those hearts. All this and more in a chapter that covers close to 40,000 years in only 16 pages! This is The Dunce Caps: American History Chapter 1.

TLDR: Asians come to America and confuse us thoroughly.
