Welcome to The Wild Card Podcast! This is episode 90 of our attempt at this whole podcasting thing!! Today's episode features: Jared Eaton living in his secret island fortress, Jeff Curtis struggling with his parachute, and Ron Blair's button thumb getting itchy. Throughout the episode, you'll hear the three of us discussing such varied topics as: The way this podcast is not about D.B. Cooper (wasn't that last week?), the 2019 Super Official Fast Food Madness Bracket Challenge, sitting around with our fat friends, the utility of giant boulders, a pre-April Fools Day commercial (gotcha!), and occasionally we part from our tangents to discuss one of the greatest last stands in military history: the Siege of Masada! This week, Jeff leads us through the history of the first Roman/Jewish war, descriptions of the incredible fortress, and how we would design our ultimate impregnable fortresses. We also look at the men who led both sides of the conflict, whether or not we trust the Romano-Jewish historian Josephus, and the tactics of the siege. Join us on this journey to wherever and we're sure that you'll be in for the long haul with our truly Bombastic Podcast! (There's a bomb in the podcast!?)

P.S. “Since we long ago resolved never to be servants to the Romans, nor to any other than to God Himself, Who alone is the true and just Lord of mankind, the time is now come that obliges us to make that resolution true in practice...We were the very first that revolted, and we are the last to fight against them; and I cannot but esteem it as a favor that God has granted us, that it is still in our power to die bravely, and in a state of freedom.”
