This week, we're traveling back to the 1300's where the laws are questionable and Christmas parties are filled with ether. Join Todd and Lindsey for leeches, road rage, and strongly worded letters. Come for the history and stay for the chaos. But, whatever you do, don't order the pie!
It's a spooky season bonus episode and things are getting a little dark, a little suspicious, and completely off the rails! Join Todd and Lindsey for a story that may be true, may be false, but is definitely full of tangents. Either way, it's a journey nobody asked for...from beyond the grave!
What happens when you mix plague doctors, childhood trauma, and an alarming number of baby teeth? Another episode of Original Tangents, of course! Join Todd and Lindsey this week, as they deep dive into a tornado of chaos. Enjoy the show! Also, there's a chicken.
Seize the day! Or at least whatever's left after the moonshine kicks in. Join Todd and Lindsey this week when they cover Elvis, banjos, questionable pharmaceuticals, and a grandma who knows her way around a happy hour. It's a journey nobody asked for...with side effects nobody warned you about.
Join Todd and Lindsey this week when they discover new products, Todd's beautiful hair, and what Pythagoras has beef with. We'd explain further, but honestly, that would require understanding what happened ourselves.
Join Todd and Lindsey this week when they learn that peer pressure, bad decisions, and wildly unnecessary detours are their love language. One innocent little origin story somehow sends them spiraling into conversations that absolutely did not need to happen...but here we are.
Join Todd and Lindsey this week for little annoyances, problematic behavior, and words we thought meant something else. Tattoos in questionable places, traumatizing videos, and everything in between. This week is a doozy! Breathe quietly, and enjoy.
Step right up for another episode where Todd and Lindsey aim for the target and miss spectacularly. Somewhere between carnival freaks, animals dodging cars, and some very LITERAL stuffed animals, we completely lose the plot. So basically...business as usual.
Join Todd and Lindsey this week when they go into the wild and immediately get lost. From tents, to campfires, and wild boars, it's basically a documentary directed by people who forgot what they were talking about.
A wedding fight, weird sounds, questionable decisions, and absolutely no ability to stay on topic. Join Todd and Lindsey this week for another perfectly normal conversation… if you’re us.
We came for a deep dive and didn't make it very far. Join Todd and Lindsey this week and their very first guest, Lindsey's dad, Ed! If you want to know random facts, stories of her childhood, and more laughs than you can count, this episode is for you!
The walk of shame, snorting snuff, and a cat named Mittens who's had enough! Join Lindsey and Todd this week for a little history, a lot of nonsense, and unforgettable tangents!
What do a house party, door-to-door salesmen, and prison letters have in common? Join Todd and Lindsey this week to find out! They brought a dictionary, an encyclopedia, and absolutely no ability to stay on topic. Just another week of Original Tangents!
Join Todd and Lindsey this week when they begin their journey in the wild west, before bouncing seamlessly through taxidermy, Zimas, tobacco school, even MC Hammer! We had a topic. We had a plan. Neither survived the conversation. Just another episode of Original Tangents!
Join Todd and Lindsey for a brand new segment this week that flies off the rails the way they always do. We're crashing in on our first ever "Truth or Tangent" in a story that takes more detours than a claims adjuster. Expect laughs, ridiculous facts, and tangents that definitely aren't covered by your policy!
We kick things off celebrating America's 250th birthday but things get derailed fast! If you've ever wondered what boxing bears, deadly quicksand, and grave bells have in common, OGT has entered the chat to connect those dots...maybe. Honestly, this journey makes no sense...which means we're right on track. Enjoy this week's episode of delighted pandemonium!
Knock, knock...A.D.D. has entered the chat. Join Todd and Lindsey for another chaotic adventure where they discuss everything from natural disasters to judgy grandmas and everything in between. Come for the origin story and stay for the glorious derailment!
This week, we're chasing an origin story straight into a whirlwind of Unsolved Mysteries, murder hotels, plastic surgery, whiskey barrels, and more! As always, we start with a plan...and end up absolutely nowhere near it.
As always, we begin with an origin story and then immediately abandon all sense of direction. Grab a drink, climb aboard, and prepare for Yo Ho, Oh No! That's More Than We Should Know-an episode packed with questionable facts, unnecessary tangents, and more laughs than any responsible podcast should contain.
Get ready for a wild ride! Todd and Lindsey cover everything from cartoons to carrier pigeons, cocaine, movies, smoking teachers, and more.
