(AYSM) is the hilarious, no-holds-barred podcast where hosts Brett & Chuck uncover the weirdest facts, funniest stories, and WTF moments from history, science, music, beer, or pop culture. From bizarre poop science to forgotten presidents, strange sports to songs that almost didn’t make it, each episode delivers absurd and totally useless, fascinating knowledge you didn’t know you needed. We pair a beer with each topic, because... why not? It's just like sitting around with your friends and discussing whatever comes up—best enjoyed with a beer in hand. www.aysm.show","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T00:17:24.648148+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/are-you-sh-ing-me-6458770"},"episode":{"title":"A Pope Dug Up a Dead Pope, Put Him on Trial, Won, and Then Was Killed","slug":"a-pope-dug-up-a-dead-pope-put-him-on-trial-won-and-then-was-killed","published_at":"2026-04-11T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/are-you-sh-ing-me-6458770/a-pope-dug-up-a-dead-pope-put-him-on-trial-won-and-then-was-killed","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/are-you-sh-ing-me-6458770","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aysm/episodes/A-Pope-Dug-Up-a-Dead-Pope--Put-Him-on-Trial--Won--and-Then-Was-Killed-e3hd8lp","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e55363cc/podcast/play/117923961/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-3-3%2F421365625-44100-2-b2639af0f8556.mp3","summary":"Brett was supposed to be doing something productive. He was not. Instead he found the story of Pope Stephen VI, who in 897 AD decided the correct response to a papal grudge was to exhume his predecessor's corpse, dress it in robes, prop it up on a throne, and hold a full criminal trial. The dead pope got a lawyer. Was found guilty. Had his fingers cut off. Got thrown in a river. The living pope then got strangled in prison. Justice was served to absolutely no one. Are You Shitting Me? — something learned while avoiding real responsibilities. Cheers!","meta_description":"Brett was supposed to be doing something productive. He was not.
