Jamie Chambers drags Bambi back into the life of Newt Gingrich, now a college professor with a wife and two children as he plots to take over the 6th Congressional District of Georgia, takes a huge advance for a book he would never write, and downplays his love of Richard Nixon. Newt chides his opponent for plans to work away from her family if elected while he constantly cheats on his wife during her cancer treatments and divorces her immediately after winning—before giving a middle finger to the friends and supporters who helped get him to Washington.

Jamie Chambers drags his reluctant sister Bambi back to the year 1909 for another episode of "No Time For Love Doctor Jones," where we continue our chronological exploration of the life of Indiana Jones. In this episode young Henry Jones, Jr. goes on safari in Africa with Theodore Roosevelt, learns how to shoot guns, and helps white colonists massacre a herd of antelope. Marvel at the horny antics of the elder Doctor Jones and Ms. Seymour's equally horny admiration of the former President of the United States.

Audio Intro

One-time note about the audio quality of this episode.

Newt Gingrich wasn't just the former Speaker of the House here in the United States, he was the one-time college history professor of co-host Jamie Chambers. Journey back to the 1940s as Bambi learns all about Newt's humble origins (largely thanks to his mother's roller rink romances). Find out how the little guy terrorized his grandmother with a snake collection, tried to start a zoo at age eleven, and snuck around behind his mother's back to watch (gasp!) nature documentaries. Laugh as you learn how his oversized head affected his football career. And be amazed that not long before graduating high school Newt was caught hooking up with his geometry teacher—whom he eventually married!

Apologies for the lower audio quality of this recording. This episode was thrown together in a hurry and recorded on cheap microphones in Bambi’s car! Things should be back to normal for next time.

Thanks to Broadway a lot of people know about Aaron Burr—third Vice President of the United States and first member of the executive branch to shoot a former Secretary of the Treasury. But fewer people know that he was arrested and tried for treason after attempting to form a secret army to steal western territory for himself. President Thomas Jefferson was personally determined to see his former Veep rot in prison. To quote the musical version of the Marquis de Lafayette: “You are the worst, Burr!” The podcasting siblings Jamie and Bambi Chambers rip into the later life and highly ironic death of Aaron Burr (Sir).

Jamie and Bambi are at it again! Anthony Comstock persecuted New York smut dealers and tavern owners until he found his target of choice—women who advocate for freedom, education, and equality. When ruining things for people in New York was not enough he pushed the Comstock Act into federal law—which is how the authors of Project 2025 plan to ban pornography and access to information about abortion. He persecuted trailblazing women like Victoria Woodhull and Margaret Sanger fueled by his weird obsessions and religious guilt.

President Trump announced "Liberation Day" on April 2, 2025 with broad and sweeping tariffs that are causing stock market panic and layoffs even in the earliest days. His case for high tariffs are good policy are based on his admiration for the 25th President, William McKinley. But Trump is either ignorant of or lying about the truth about American tariff policies in the late 19th century. If history is any predictor of future events, bad things are in store both for the economy and to Republicans' future electoral chances.

The Chambers siblings return from summer break to take a buzzsaw to the memory of Anthony Comstock. He was a self-appointed moral crusader and postal inspector from the 19th century whose legacy lingers in modern politics—including references in Project 2025 to ban mailing abortion medications, contraception, and pornography.

Learn how one boy's mommy issues are inflicted on an entire nation as Comstock's Connecticut Puritan upbringing sends him on a mission to hunt mad dogs, go full Batman on an illegal saloon, and makes him the least popular soldier in the Civil War. His obsessive, self-critical journaling offers a window into his world of shame and personal struggles with one-handed temptation. (Ahem.)

It's another awful person telling everyone else how to live! Join Jamie and Bambi while they wonder aloud why Comstock's laws and moralizing mission should have any relevance in the 21st century.

Bambi concludes her deep dive into Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, widow of Alexander Hamilton—the only American so far to have been shot dead by the sitting Vice President of the United States. Using the Hamilton musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda as a touchstone, we explore Eliza's happiest years, heart-wrenching tragedies, lifelong grudges, and many charitable works before her death at 96 years old. Most notably, we delve into her tireless efforts to house and educate orphans in New York City.

Why did Eliza hate James Monroe for the rest of her life? Did she burn her husband's letters out of anger, or was it part of a cover-up? Did the Reynolds Affair actually happen, or was it an elaborate lie? Why did Benedict Arnold travel around Europe with a portrait of Alexander Hamilton? These burning questions and more will be answered as we ask, "Who tells your story?" when it comes to Eliza Hamilton.

Bambi takes over the podcast and tells the story of Elizabeth Schuyler—most known to history and Broadway musical fans as the wife of Mr. Ten Dollar Bill, Alexander Hamilton. But Jamie learns that the Schuyler sisters and "Betsy" are far more than background characters and devoted wives. Using the Lin-Manuel Miranda musical as a frame of reference the siblings set the record straight about extraordinary women from the time of the American Revolutionary War.

We dive back into history with Indiana Jones in our series "No Time For Love Doctor Jones," where Jamie Chambers drags his sister Bambi through another adventure of nine-year-old Henry Jones, Jr. When ancient one-eyed Dr. Jones is forced to see a psychiatrist he forces her to listen to the story of the day he met Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, and Carl Jung—who encouraged him to break into a castle to give a snowglobe to a princess.

Siblings Jamie and Bambi Chambers conclude the story of all-black Buffalo Soldiers sent guard a training camp for new recruits for the war effort in Houston, Texas where Jim Crow laws and white supremacy were in full effect. After enduring constant racism and disrespect, a young soldier tried to intervene in an unfair arrest of a local mother—the resulting police abuse set off a chain reaction that led to over a hundred professional soldiers marching into the city with the intention of killing as many white cops as possible. It’s a challenging story of racism, fear, rage, retribution, and injustice that took over a century to be addressed by the United States and its armed forces.

But when the United States joins World War I the Buffalo Soldiers are called to guard the construction of a training camp for new draftees—Camp Logan in Houston, a bayou town fully embracing white supremacy enforced by a brutal police force. What could possibly go wrong?

Welcome back to Chainsaw History’s limited series, "No Time For Love Doctor Jones,” where Jamie Chambers guides his reluctant sister Bambi through the life of fictional life of Indiana Jones. In this episode, we travel to Paris, France, exploring The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Episode 19: "Paris, September 1908."

Today’s episode introduces 9-year-old Henry (our future Indiana Jones) to the Parisian art scene, where he meets a young Norman Rockwell and a Spanish maniac named Pablo Picasso—who loves to party with sex workers and fire his gun into the air. Thrill as Henry and Norman brawl with French pimps and engage in Scooby-Doo hijinks in a graveyard. All this is framed by old Indiana Jones reminiscing about the fraud he committed on the art community.

It’s a wacky romp in Paris as we see how little Henry gets one step closer to cinema’s favorite two-fisted archeologist!

As a holiday treat Jamie gets to take a break, so the rest of us can sit back and get cozy as Bambi tells the story of Alice Roosevelt—daughter of the ridiculously-mustached Teddy. Inheriting her father's need for attention, she went from pranking White House dinner parties with her pet snake (Emily Spinach) to becoming a political institution in Washington D.C., whose favor and advice was sought by insiders. Alice was beloved by the press and foreign leaders including the Dowager Empress of Japan and Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. But her ambitions to return to the White House were thwarted by rivalries and difficult choices, and she lived a life touched by tragedy. Let's sip some cocoa and hear the story of a feminist icon who defied convention, set trends, and held onto petty grudges.

Grab a crucifix and burn some sage! Jamie and Bambi (finally) wrap up the enigmatic tale of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

When the Salem Witch Trials began they referred back to the standards set by famed British jurist Sir Matthew Hale, whose legal rulings were all seen through the lens of his Puritan religion and the belief that all legal authority comes from God through a divinely anointed king. But despite the fact that he sentenced women to die for witchcraft, his legal opinions are cited to this day as the basis for laws that deny rights and agency to women.

In this episode Chambers siblings Jamie and Bambi examine an absurd witch trial that became a best-selling pamphlet before looking at the very serious ramifications Hale's life, rulings, and writings have on people who live centuries later on another continent. But even with that's terrible influence, Justice Samuel Alito had to misrepresent Hale's writings on abortion in the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

In 2022 the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with their ruling on a case called Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, allowing states to pass severely restrictive anti-abortion laws. In the majority opinion Justice Alito referenced a 17th century jurist named Sir Matthew Hale no less than eight times.

Season Two of Chainsaw History begins as podcasting siblings Jamie and Bambi dissect the baffling and infuriating influence of Sir Matthew Hale, a 17th-century English jurist with outdated ideas (even for his time!). They talk about how Hale relates to modern American law, particularly concerning women's rights and sexual assault. Get ready for a wild ride through history with Hale's Puritan-flavored nonsense and the lingering consequences of his backward beliefs.

Here's what you can expect from this hilarious and eye-opening episode:

• The life and times of Judge Hale, Puritan extraordinaire (oh, joy!).
• How religion mixed with his legal opinions like a bad cocktail.
• Hale's role in witch trials and other bizarre legal endeavors.
• Coverture, the ultimate marital buzzkill, suppressing women's legal rights.
• Sir Matthew Hale's cringeworthy views on rape, consent, and the credibility of women.
• How the "Hale rule" crawled into modern American law, casting doubt on rape victims' testimonies.
• The California Supreme Court finally giving the Hale rule a much-deserved kick to the curb.

Jamie and Bambi can't believe that Sir Matthew Hale's ideas still manage to haunt women's rights and legal proceedings in the United States, centuries after he kicked the bucket. It's time to say goodbye to these ancient, harmful perspectives and let progress reign supreme.

Bonus Episode! Some listeners might be familiar with the book The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter. Others might know his novel The Rebel Outlaw Josey Wales or at least the film directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. During research for the George Wallace series, Jamie was shocked to discover that Forrest Carter was actually Asa Carter—the man behind the infamous "Segregation Forever" speech for the Alabama governor. Asa Carter was a violent racist who created a militant faction of the Ku Klux Klan and sent thugs to attack a Nat King Cole concert. Later, he moved to Texas, changed his name, and softened his image if not his actual beliefs. He lied about Cherokee ancestry and fabricated most of the details in The Education of Little Tree. "Forrest" Carter tried to hide from his past, but before he could fully enjoy his success, he died after a fist fight with his own son.

Hosts Jamie Chambers and Bambi Chambers finally lay George Wallace to rest in the conclusion of this gripping three-part series on the notorious former governor of Alabama. This episode kicks off with the story of Arthur Bremer, a man who altered American history with five bullets despite his indifference to politics and his victim.

As American culture and politics evolved, Wallace struggled to stay relevant, embarking on a controversial "apology tour" and seeking forgiveness from Civil Rights icons like Rosa Parks and John Lewis. The discussion paints a sad portrait of a man who exploited his many talents solely to satisfy his own narcissism and thirst for power.
