Step back in time with the Boley family—myself, Christopher, and my sons Seth and James—as we crack the code on one of history's most infamous events: the Lincoln assassination. From the fiery indignation of John Wilkes Booth to the echo of a gunshot in Ford's Theatre, we unpack the story with a twist of humor and a dash of familial banter. You'll be on the edge of your seat, laughing as we trip over historical faux pas and draw bizarre parallels to other assassinations, like JFK's, all while sifting through the maze of plots, premonitions, and presidential anxieties that colored Lincoln's final days.

Get ready to be whisked away on a historical rollercoaster that not only sheds light on Lincoln's fateful night but also takes a detour through the absurd—imagine an assassin's scheme thwarted by a craving for a snack, which we can't help but imagine as the premise for a candy bar commercial. And if that's not enough, join us as we segue into promoting the eclectic world of fruit flies on our other podcast, Various Fruit. It's a family affair where history meets humor, and intrigue meets the unexpected, ensuring that by the end of our jaunt, you'll have learned something new and had quite a few laughs along the way.
