About this episode
The episode explores ancient scandals that would create chaos on social media today, alongside listener stories and current news updates.
Looking for drama? Forget reality TV—this week we’re diving into ancient scandals that would absolutely break the internet. We’re talking about Henry VIII literally creating a new religion just to divorce his wife… then executing the next one. Cleopatra turning political alliances into headline-making affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony that reshaped the world map. Caligula allegedly trying to put his horse in government, Nero catching heat for “vibing” while Rome burned, the brutal betrayal behind the assassination of Caesar and MUCH MORE. These aren’t just messy headlines—they’re scandals that toppled empires, sparked wars, and would have today’s social media in absolute chaos. And of course, it wouldn’t be FratChat without everything else going off the rails. We’ve got a listener email that somehow escalates the infamous “restaurant fart” story into full-blown disaster territory, plus a debate on whether pets should be treated like children that might divide the room. In our news segment, we revisit the shocking case of Kouri Richins—and finally get the update we’ve been waiting for. And for “Not the Drag Queens,” we break down the disturbing indictment of John Kent…
