History For Weirdos
Episode 151: Tombstone’s Bloody Reckoning - The O.K. Corral Incident and Aftermath
28 Apr 2025
In the heart of Tombstone, Arizona, a gunfight erupted that would echo across history, but the real story of the O.K. Corral is far messier, bloodier, and weirder than the Hollywood versions let on. This week, we dive deep into the tangled web of grudges, rivalries, and outright chaos that led to one of the most infamous shootouts of the American Wild West. But the O.K. Corral wasn’t the end, it was just the beginning. In this episode, we unravel the bloody aftermath: the revenge killings, the manhunts, and the myth-making that would turn Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday into reluctant legends. We’ll explore how a dusty frontier town became the backdrop for a brutal power struggle, and why the real Tombstone story is far stranger (and far sadder) than you were ever taught. So holster up, Weirdos! This isn’t your sanitized Wild West. This is Tombstone’s Bloody Reckoning. - Thank you for listening Weirdos!

Hello and welcome to History for Weirdos.
We're your hosts, Andrew and Stephanie. And we're going to take you on a journey into the strange, obscure, and relentlessly entertaining corners of human history.
Now listen up, friends, because it's about to get weird. Welcome back, weirdos.
Welcome back, weirdos.
We are here with another episode of History for Weirdos. We are coming to you from the very sophisticated and refined studios of our living room.
Exactly. Studio Shangri-La, our living room.
Shangri-La, our living room. Yeah. So we cannot guarantee that you will not hear Pericles puppy sounds in the background.
In fact, just to set your expectations, you probably should hear... Pericles puppy sounds and sometimes bird sounds. Yeah.
Even though the bird is at the literal opposite end of the apartment, folks have been funny in messages before. Like, I can hear her go like... Just faintly. In the background. Yeah. Well, I'm really excited to hear the tale that you're going to tell this week. I know a little bit of insight into it because I participated in some of the research.
