    The Enigma Machine: How the German's Unbreakable Code Was Broken
    May 5 2026

    158 quintillion possible settings. Changed daily. The Germans were convinced it was unbreakable — and for a long time, they were right. In this episode, Matt breaks down how the Enigma machine actually worked, Corey covers the carnage it enabled on land, sea, and in the air, and Devon traces how a team of Polish mathematicians, a British manor house full of chess players and crossword fanatics, and one gay genius named Alan Turing changed the course of World War II. The machine was unbeatable. The humans operating it were not.

Also: the Gracies get called out and the dick twist debate is finally settled.
