Today we're going way, way back to talk about a man with way too many names, so they just called him Baybars. A Muslim from the Crimean Peninsula, which means he probably looked like one of those Dagestani MMA guys. Makes sense because he was definitely not someone to fuck with. But people did it anyways. Repeatedly! And talk about rising the ranks. He got every possible promotion there was then just started dogwalking everyone he could find when there was no heights left to achieve. So enjoy!...

Today we're headed down to ol' Mexico to talk about Jose Gamboa, who despite not looking Chinese at all decided to go by the name El Chino Antrax. Aren't nicknames dumb? Anyways, this dude lived a hell of a life, because while he was active the coke stayed flowing and the bodies stayed dropping. Of course it couldn't stay golden forever, so you'll probably be able to guess the conclusion of his story. But you're still in for a couple surprises. Enjoy!

What better kind of person to talk about in this day and age than a fed that may or may or may not have been involved in some super shady shit? Now that being said, most everybody knows that part of Melvin Purvis' life, however it turns out there's a whole other side to our boy Purvis, and he was dope as hell when he wasn't busy being all feddy. But between the two sides of his life, there's something for everybody. Enjoy!

Today we're talking about a mustache only a mother could love, Randy Kraft. Now, old Randy here is one sick motherfucker. He was the last of the Freeway Killer(s) down here in California, and I would argue, the most brutal. So get ready for some real haunting shit and gross details. Enjoy!

Alright weebs, this episode is for you. Because if you can't tell by the name or picture of this episode, we're headed back to old timey Japan. Where the samurai were plentiful and life was cheap. Our boy here, Sanada Yukimura was a bad motherfucker, but he was also bad at choosing who to fight for. Dude was like your degenerate gambler uncle, just could not back a winning horse no matter what. But unlike your uncle, he actually pulled off his ponytail, and he was badass the whole time. "It's a ...

Today we're headed to Boston, the home of Larry Bird, the Boondock Saints, and the only racists that can't pronounce a hard R. But we're not here for them, we're here for John Connolly. A classic case of corruption and ineptitude, and as always, a dumb nickname makes an appearance. You'll even hear the names of some future episodes as we make fun of all the aspects of this dummy's life. Enjoy!

Howdy, dear listeners. Today we're headin' out west to the American frontier, a place of legends and tall tales, to talk about renowned badass knife fighter Jim Bowie. We're mostly sticking to the real stuff though, not the legend and folklore, since the dude lived a hell of a life without the exaggerated stories. His has plenty of ups and down, cholera and Mexicans, you name it. So listen in and remember this episode, enjoy!

Welcome back, dear listeners! We have got a real fun story for you today. We're gonna talk about Jack Idema. A former Green Beret that has given interviews and technical expertise to a ton of journalists, he's given humanitarian aid, but most of all he's spent time in the Middle East doing some real boots on the ground work. Exactly what you'd expect from a Green Beret right? A real badass! Well, I don't want to spoil the story so you'll just have to listen in and see for yourself. Enjoy!

Welcome back, dear listeners, as we take another foray into Scotland. Because everyone loves hearing about the English getting their dicks kicked into the dirt, who cares that it's gonna end tragically because that's what happens to the Scots? Anyway, James Douglas was dope as hell, and the man knew how to fight. And boy did he love doing it. He spent a lifetime terrorizing the English until they couldn't take any more. Listen in for all the fun details. Enjoy!

It's time to take a trip down south to Tasmania, or as I call it, Australia adjacent. When I first heard that Harry Murray had the nickname of "Mad" I didn't really see it. Nothing jumped out as too crazy. Then I saw his picture and yup, those eyes? He's crazy as fuck. But in a good way. The military bottled that crazy up and hurled it at the enemy and let him just do his thing. And boy did he do that thing. Enjoy!

Today we're talking about a man with the blandest of names, John Riley. He's also Irish if you couldn't tell from the episode picture of a statue with the world's most Irish face, so you know what that means. A story that ends tragically, that's right! He shows up here in America after getting out of Ireland when the getting was good, and signs up to fight for his new country. At which point everything starts to go downhill. How you wonder? Well, wonder no more, just listen to the episode. Enjoy...

Prepare to be confused, dear listeners. For today we'll be talking about Lester Brockelhurst, a dude whose motives and decisions make absolute no goddamn sense ever. He started his life as just a simple good old boy from the Midwest, then becomes a Mormon, then runs off to 1930s Chicago and decides to reinvent himself. And then every decision he makes from there just leaves me scratching my head. But it's entertaining, and that's what matters. Enjoy!

Today we're taking a trip back to the 1800s to talk about a group we haven't gotten around to very often, but who kicked major ass, the Punjabi Sikhs. These were some brutal pipe hitting motherfuckers, and when Hari Singh Nalwa showed up, he became the most pipe hittingest of all of them. A figurative and literal giant, this dude started leading soldiers into battle at an early age and then just kept kicking dicks into dirt until it was his time to punch out. One hardcore bastard. Enjoy!

It's time to hit the high seas again, dear listeners. This time it's to talk about Henry Morgan, scourge of the Spanish long before he became the scourge of the livers of anyone with $20 (Yes, Captain Morgan). As a privateer, he was one ballsy motherfucker, and got so lucky you'd think he had a horseshoe and a 4 leaf clover up his ass. Or maybe the Spanish were really that incompetent. You decide. Also, enjoy!

This week we return to everyone's least favorite island, Great Britain. But we're going way back in time to some double digit years to talk about badass Celtic queen, Boudica. Our tale picks up when the Romans decided to do the one thing you shouldn't do to a woman made out of fury and vengeance, and that's underestimate her. And cue Bodies by Drowning Pool, because that's the best way to describe what happens next. Enjoy!

Today we're covering another dude from one of our favorite time periods, the American Civil War. George Henry Thomas was real good at his job and he made sure to get shit done. Even before the Civil War when we were snatching up all that sweet Mexican land. But dude had the worst luck and wound up playing second fiddle to a lot of people you'll recognize, which explains why nobody recognizes him. Still dope though, so enjoy!

Good news, dear listeners, we were able to get this episode out on time. So join us on this trip down to the land of mustaches to talk about Emiliano Zapata. This dude grew up loving his land and his country and he committed his life to fighting for it. There were some problems along the way though...So turn your headsets to Spanish, throw on some of those long pointy cowboy boots, and enjoy!

Today's person of discussion is one evil bitch. Nannie Doss had a not great childhood, but that doesn't excuse the fact that she did a lot of heinous shit throughout her life without a shred of guilt. Not just that, but we also have a classic case of incompetence from the authorities that went on for years. No excuses, they fucked up baaaaaad. So get ready to hate this broad. Enjoy!

Today we're heading to Greece to talk about a woman who had some real hardcore nicknames, which were pretty well deserved because Mariam Soulakiotis did some real heinous shit. But don't worry, she's not to blame, obviously. She's just a regular ol' pious nun, and she'll tell you who was really responsible for all the torture and death. Just listen in and find out for yourself. Enjoy!

Today we return to the unforgiving desolate wasteland that is Russia to talk about the Soviet Union's greatest hero, with the medals to prove it, Georgy Zhukov. This dude gave his country everything, killed a ton of nazis, and did it while being a pretty damn stand up guy. In a sea of corruption and shitbags, this dude was an awesome shining light of decency. We're still gonna make jokes though, cmon, it's us. So check out a real dope story, and we even have some hilarious little factoids to go ...

Oh boy are we bringing you some proper scum today, dear listeners. Stephen Morin may have started his life in Rhode Island, but he traveled all around the US getting into is shenanigans. And not the good, clean fun kind of shenanigans. The fucked up, horrendous kind. But on the plus side you get to hear Tim's impotent rage at this guy as more and more details come out in the story. So enjoy!

It's time for us to go back in time to the days when the pasta eaters unfortunately ruled the world, the days of Rome. Aurelian was an alright dude though. Unless you were somebody that pissed him off. Then he was basically the devil given flesh. Dude did not fuck about when it came to people that wronged him. But he's got a great story, and we love to see people rise above their station. So enjoy!

This week we're headed to a different land, though still owned by the English, Australia. They pretend they're free, but we know different! Anyway, Bradley John Murdoch has the most Australian face I've ever seen. And just like the landscape and wildlife and exchange rate and weather and gun laws (I can keep going), he fucking sucks. He has one of the most cruel answers to a question I've ever heard, and one of the dumbest court defenses. Don't be evil and stupid, pick a lane. Anyway, enjoy!...

It's time to take a trip to the land with the worst language ever invented, Wales. Be prepared for a metric shit ton of mispronunciation with this episode, because boy is it a struggle. Anyway, Owain Glyndwr was a badass back in his old timey day and lived a pretty bonkers life, if you can get past all the stupid names. So give the least important part of the UK a pass, and enoy!

Boy have we got a doozy of a weirdo for you for our first episode of the year today, dear listeners. Ricardo Lopez was a dude that just wanted one thing. But he wanted it really, really badly. And he obsessed over it. Then he found out the thing he wanted, that he was never gonna get anyways, wasn't gonna happen (shocker). So he did the only natural thing. I'm not gonna spoil what it is, so you're gonna have to toon in and hear all about the weirdness. Enjoy!

Happy new year, dear listeners! Today we're going evil adjacent to talk about the spawn of Josef Stalin, one of the worst humans to ever exist. His son, Vasily Stalin, isn't nearly as bad, but he is comically inept and his life was a lot of fun to make fun of. Turns out the apple can fall pretty goddamn far from the stupidly mustached tree. Enjoy!

Happy Hanukkah, dear listeners! And I guess Christmas too or whatever. Anyways, we have a fun treat for you today, James Devereux. Who despite having a name like a Confederate general, was a dude who found himself on the right side of history. Starting with being in charge of the defense of a little known island in the Pacific that may or may not have had some impact on the war effort. And he pissed off the Japanese something fierce, which I'm always a fan of. Then he did a couple things after t...

Today we have a truly rare find for you, dear listeners. A Confederate that doesn't suck! Well, completely anyways. You see, Jack Hinson was just a simple man who wanted to run his farm in peace. I mean, sure, maybe his farm was a massive sprawl with slaves...Ok, he still sucked. But anyways, he wasn't allowed to just be a farmer, so he picked up his rifle and started putting notches in the wood. Enjoy!

Well hello again, dear listeners. I hope you're ready for another nightmarish tale of tragedy from World War 2 era Poland, cuz that's what we're talking about today. Harry Haft was a survivor. And he survived literal hell. But it turns out when you go through those kind of experiences, well, they can have a bit of a lasting effect on you. Just look into those eyes, you can tell. A real rollercoaster of emotions, but definitely a story that needs to be told. Enjoy!

You read that name right, dear listeners. Today we're talking about the big sword swinging, Mel Gibson appearing man himself, William Wallace. The Guardian of Scotland, which also might be the original name for Groundskeeper Willie, is pretty famous thanks to the movie about him. Now you can hear the true story! And all the, "yea that part wasn't true," that comes with it. Enjoy!
