Matt is back in town, and he comes bringing the gift of the story of Mary Fields, the woman who escaped slavery, won stacks of money from beating up men in bars, and lugged mail to small towns on her back when her horses could go no further.

Let's Ruin It is finally at the TEN EPISODE MARK! Double digits, bay-beee! To celebrate, the boys invited on the incredible Anna Kaczmarek (@akazzy8 on Instagram) and drank HEAVILY as they all discussed the history of alcohol. Cole got shloshed on ouzo, Matt got into whiskey politics, and Anna enjoyed the spectacle. So grab an age appropriate drink friends, and enjoy this very messy episode. PS- Stick around to the end to get a clue to the secret project the boys are working on...

Much like the technical difficulties and bad jokes that plague this show, death is inevitable, BUT that doesn't mean it has to be scary or bad. This week, Cole leads a one-off in hope to shed a light on death and the industry that surrounds it. Ever want to know what happens to a body in a crematorium? How about the process of embalming? What the hell is grave wax? All these questions and more are answered as the boys sit with the uncomfortable reality that is their own mortality and dive deep into the world of death. This is going to be a gross one.

So...it's been a rough week. Between a health scare with Cole, Cole getting stressed over work, and Cole not getting enough sleep (it really just boils down to Cole not being able to handle their sh!t), we took a week off of our regularly scheduled obscure history formula and took it easy. Matt and Cole hung out with our twitch chat, talked video games, made plans to go explore a ghost town, and Cole got really into a website that reports on scientists giving fishes drugs. So join us on this super chill episode and just, idk, hang out?

CW: This episode is about the history of Adult animation and covers topics such as sex, violence, racism, and more, including some of Ralph Bakshi's more offensive works. Oof. This one was a doozy to produce. Between the anticipation of us having our VERY FIRST GUEST on the show (the incredible and illustrious Mr. Jordan Pollins, @jordanpollins on Instagram), the controversial topics covered, and the issues that come with having three people recording all at once, there was a lot going on. But ultimately, we were able to create this episode for you. So like we say in the opener, sit back, put on something comfy, grab your favorite consumable substance, and and get ready to learn about the history of adult animation. You're in for a ride.

This week, Cole and Matt sit down and discuss the intricate inner workings of the Bavarian judicial system. Joking, obviously (but maybe one day...). It's the second and final episode in the Console Wars series, and the boys discuss how Sony and Microsoft's consoles changed everything in the video game industry. Nintendo backstabs Sony at one point, Cole discusses chaos magik, and Matt breaks some furniture. It's a very wild episode, and it's very late as we types this.
