This week the Pearlmans travel to the birth of the Russian Empire to discuss the life of Catherine the First of Russia. She starts at the bottom and just kinda vibes her way to the top. 

Also Mrs. P learns about Fox Tossing, the thing we used to do before Donkey Kong.

Here is what I'm hoping for: Mr P gives a top notch history rant as only the son of a latin teacher can, and Mrs P, who has watched all of "The Great" spends the entire episode correcting Mr P's "inaccuracies" and letting him now how it really all went down dramady style.

2026-09-08 12:00 I really enjoy your historical figures episodes. This is exactly the format that catches my attention for learning history, and I've legitimately learned a lot from these. Thank you!

Awesome, my kiddo did a report on her this past year for 7th grade. The way the age appropriate book tiptoed around her "activity" was fun.

I like how we got some Warhammer talk slipped in, waiting for Alex to take over a book club with a 40k book he reads

Please don’t be mad at me but the fox tossing section could have used a TW for animal abuse, I had to skip it 😭

Mr P: Then guess what happened? Mrs. P: War? Mr P: Then he made it official, he married Catherine. Mrs. P: That's so much more romantic than war!

I agree wholeheartedly. I love the historical figure episodes. It's a welcome palate cleanser!

I've listened to the episode and have recognized my error 😂

Fun fact about Swedish King Charles XII (real name Karl); real popular among Swedish neo-nazis

James Davis III

Okay where is the Warhammer episode (attempt to explain Warhammer in a Pearlmania500™️ style)? 2 references is about to reach heretical level of... well Heresy

I’m so glad and grateful that I’m not the only one f-ing hate Elon Musk with every single fiber of my body!

Burners are the worst. They take their trash, and leave it spread across Reno. I've seen people dumping their trash in parking lots. 🙄 even though you do pronounce Nevada wrong, I still adore you guys! ❤️ love the podcast.

Not sure why Patreon told me this was the most recent episode - but the accents 9 minutes in made my week. Thank you Pearlmans.

Is this the story that the show Catherine the Great is loosely based on???

Why would you bring your wife to war with you 🤣🤣
