We have a special BONUS episode on New Orleans for you! Emma Parker covers food, geography, history, religion, culture, ALL OF IT! Kevin and Spencer get to show how they know nothing about French culture and history. Emma discusses life in New Orleans and the legacy of her family in Louisiana. She talks about the time machine she built where she got to go back in time and talk to Andrew Jackson. It turns out he might actually be an ass hole. Maybe.

This is it! This is where we fight! Kevin and Spencer ran into some really cool technical issues. This is the second go around for the recording of this epic finale. Kevin and Spencer discuss if this violence in New Orleans could have been avoided or was it necessary to shape the United States. The British finally make their way into New Orleans territory with the world's strongest fighting force. Jackson has a couple tricks up his sleeve. Tune in and find out how Jackson uses a makeshift army to fight the gentlemen of the King and Queen. Please rate and review our show if you haven't already done so. We appreciate you.
