We’re back y’all with a bit of a throwback! We take another look at two different scandals involving the Roosevelts and Huey Long, our new historical crushes.
This episode we sip on a Dirty Martini, the controversial spin on the quintessential American cocktail. This drink is as loved as it is loathed and had us both inexplicably feeling ourselves back in college. #memories
Also covered: Stephanie’s recent succulence, Thelma & Louise, the cackalackies, Heathers, Tim Whatshisnuts 2020 and more.
Tux’s scandal again centers around the Roosevelts. In the last episode we explored Franklin’s extramarital affairs by highlighting some of the other women in his life. This scandal flips the script and delves into the other women in Eleanor’s life.

Stephanie’s scandal is a continuation of the rise of Huey Long from our last episode. This final chapter starts with his brief but legendary stint as populist Senator (who lowkey never stopped being governor of Louisiana) and ends with his tragic but unsurprisingly violent end. In truth, there was only one way this could end.
