What makes America unique? In the first segment of this special two-part episode, Josh and Chuck join up with guests from The Daily Show and The Onion to take a closer look at the Stuff You Should Know About America.
AI Summary
Josh and Chuck take their show on the road to Sirius XM in New York, where they explore the wild and unexpected origins of America in this entertaining live episode. With help from comedy writers from The Daily Show and The Onion, they dig into the surprisingly seedy underbelly of Puritan colonial life (including some rather shocking criminal records), then pivot to examine the physics and colorful history behind America's pastime - specifically how a coal miner with a mangled hand became one of baseball's greatest curveball pitchers. It's American history like you've never heard it before, complete with audience participation and plenty of laughs.
