Are the good old days truly the good old days? Today’s journey takes us way back to the United States in the mid 1800s, a time when the line between politics and WWE wrestling was quite blurry. Kinsey tries out her best announcer voice as she describes two pivotal congressional events in the build-up to the American Civil War. No, not the acceptance of Missouri and Kansas as states, and not the secession of half of the country. We’re talking about times when literal punches were thrown between adult men elected to represent American citizens. Come be entertained by the most absurd Throwdowns featuring Sumner v Brooks and Grow v Keitt. Oh and lets not pretend that today’s politicians have matured beyond resorting to fisticuffs (and shoe throwing) every now and then to settle a disagreement... let’s get ready to rumble! Podcast Links to share - your friends will thank you... if not, we sure will!https://bit.ly/itunesotg https://bit.ly/spotifyotg https://bit.ly/amazonotghttps://bit.ly/youtubeotg  The Good Old Days is produced by What A Concept Productions.
