  • Huckleberry or Huckle Bearer?

    Huckleberry or Huckle Bearer?
    Feb 25 2026
    Did Doc Holliday say, “I’m your huckleberry” or “I’m your huckle bearer?” Or is the whole debate built on nothing more than an internet myth? Join me today as we break down the famous line from Tombstone to hopefully separate fact from fiction. We’ll examine the original Tombstone script written by Kevin Jarre, Val Kilmer’s 2020 memoir I’m Your Huckleberry, and Tombstone: An Iliad of the Southwest by Walter Noble Burns. We also examine 19th-century newspaper evidence showing that “I’m your huckleberry” was indeed a real idiom.

  • Digging Up Billy the Kid: Exhuming the Dead

    Digging Up Billy the Kid: Exhuming the Dead
    Feb 18 2026
    Should Billy the Kid’s body be exhumed? In today’s episode, we break down the evidence surrounding Billy’s death at Fort Sumner, as well as the two failed attempts to dig up the Kid: the 1961 court fight between Lincoln and Fort Sumner, and the 2003 official investigation led by Sheriff Tom Sullivan, Deputy Steve Sederwall, and Sheriff Gary Graves. Finally, we address the DNA question itself and what evidence actually justifies disturbing the dead.

  • Doc Holliday | End of the Trail (Part 4)

    Doc Holliday | End of the Trail (Part 4)
    Feb 11 2026
    In late January 1882, Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo came within mere seconds of turning the streets of Tombstone into a slaughterhouse. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed, and both men were arrested before a shot was fired; a near catastrophe that historian Mark Lee Gardner described as “the greatest gunfight that never was.” Join me today as we take a closer look at this infamous standoff. We’ll examine Holliday’s role in the famous Earp vendetta ride, his last gunfight in Colorado, and his final days at Glenwood Springs. We’ll also discuss the Dodge City War, Luke Short, Bat Masterson, and the ultimate fate of Holliday’s gal pal, Big Nose Kate Elder. P.S. - The thumbnail does not actually depict the real Doc Holliday.
