Episode 1: The Pope's New Army

Ep. 1
•

Hosts: Rob & Dave


On our very first episode we decide to share our names and discuss the theme of the podcast, which is answering absurd or historical what if question. In this particular episode we ask what would happen if the US and Vatican armies change places. In 2022 the US military employed 1.4 million active personnel across all branches. In 2022 the Vatican employed 110 officers.


We also decided to make baptism madlibs which you can play along with and we'll air on an upcoming episode. Make submissions here:
