History ain't a dusty book on a shelf—it’s alive, breathing, and sometimes, it punches you in the mouth. This episode, Kenny, Day Day, and Aaron dig into the unbelievable life of Eugene Bullard, a man who dodged lynch mobs, fought wars on two continents, survived trench warfare, and still found time to open a jazz club where Langston Hughes washed dishes. From dodging Nazis to outboxing heavyweights, Bullard’s life reads like an action movie no one’s made yet—but should.
