It’s CASSANDER!!!!! Apparently he did stuff… maybe… We do know he was there, somewhere, and there was some hubbub between him and Olympias. Oh but there’s also cannibalism and the last food delivery service you’ll ever sign up for!

Antigonus the One-Eyed was a big man, so big in fact that his story couldn’t be contained in a single episode. In part one we learn all about Antigonus’ parenting style, horrible dad jokes, and we finally, FINALLY deal with those pesky Silver Shields. Plus, Meredith regrets being an organ donor.

You’ve waited with bated breath, but he’s here! It’s POLYPERCHON! What happens when you give control of a massive empire to a mediocre commander who tries way too hard? And if everyone already knows you’re a disappointment, can you ever really let them down? We answer these questions and more on today’s episode! Brought to you by a professional wrestling interview that totally happened and the letter “S” (for obviousssss reassssonssss).

Well, we learned a lot in this episode! First, being the son of a king may not be as awesome as you’d think. Sure, you get the royal treatment, but you never know when someone might throw you in a dungeon for no reason. Second, you can squeeze water from a stone, but it kind of hurts. Third, toy commercials can be dark. Fourth, Dustin learns not to sit so close to the mic. Come hear the story of Alexander IV!

Come hear about the best boy, the most betrayed boy, the most beloved boy! Hear the tales of the Greek who eats adversity for breakfast and treats treachery like it was just a sneeze! He can make scrambled eggs from a rock! He can make a horse run on a treadmill without even using the treadmill! He’s loyal to the end! He will call you a moron if you betray him! He’s right about everything but no one ever listens! He’s Eumenes of Cardia!!! Also, Dustin has some great tips about interacting with horses [MEREDITH EDIT: no, he doesn’t].

AND WE'RE BACK! Took long enough, didn't it? How easily a few weeks turned into five months. But to pay back your patience, we've got a treat for you: It's a double-whammy!!!! Not one, not three, not five and-a-half, but TWO rulers for you in this episode! Plus all kinds of new stuff! New music, new degrees, new cats, new apartments, guest stars, monster truck rallies, and so much more! But still the same whacky, backstabbing Hellenistic stories you know and love... plus the same silly hosts. And now, if someone ever asks "if there's a doctor in the house," somebody here gets to give a really annoying answer!
