Good news, dear listeners, today is a special two for one episode! We'll be traveling to the land of apartheid and Elon Musk's dad's slavery mine, to talk about two locals who got into some shady things. Cedric Maake and Moses Sithole either lo
It's not often that I get to say this, dear listeners, but this French dude was fucking awesome. The Marquis de Lafayette came to America and helped us throw off the yoke of those dumb British. His reasons? He just really, really hated the Engl
Never thought I'd be saying that today we'll be talking about a badass member of the Coast Guard, but I'm glad to be wrong about that. Douglas Munro was just a regular, genuinely good dude when he saw the writing on the wall and knew the US was
Today we're going way back in history to pre-democracy Greece to talk about Miltiades, a man who didn't take no shit and always got his revenge. He had a pretty good early life due to his dad being a famous badass chariot rider. Then things too
Today's person of interest is another traitor, I mean, Confederate general. John Bell Hood cut his teeth early in the Civil War being the guy that always attacked hard. Spoiler alert, you don't always want to attack hard. He even inspired a quo
Today we'll be talking about a dude that got shipped off to Australia after running amok through England. And I'm not one to side with the Brits, but well, Thomas Jeffrey for sure earned himself that transportation sentence. Then he got to Aust
If you can read that name you know what it means, we'll be fucking up a lot of pronunciations today. Hong Xiuquan was a simple man, in that he was incredibly stupid. Then he decided one day that not only was he not actually stupid, he was godda
On today's episode we're diving in on this badass fucking Scotsman, the Outlaw King, Robert the Bruce. This man wanted nothing more than to kick some English ass, but he was smart about it. He bided his time until it was right then well, let's
On today's episode we have a super rich English woman who was smart as hell in school. And also pretty much incompetent at everything she did in the real world. Or inept at best I suppose. But hey, she committed real hard to the causes she beli
We're closing out anniversary week with an episode on a heavily requested scumbag, the Killer Clown himself, John Wayne Gacy. Gacy had a real shitty childhood, and unlike what a decent person would do, he decided to make this everyone else's pr
What's that in the sky? Is it a bird? A plane? No it's, well actually yea it's a plane. And this bad motherfucker, Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, is flying it. This dude was smart as hell and became a plane engineer, but that wasn't enough for him.
On today's episode we'll be talking about the guy that might be the origin of everyone thinking Florida is full of psychopaths. John Ashley had a pretty unassuming name, the looks of a Bond villain, and a rap sheet that is truly impressive. Thi
Today we're going to Ireland, a land of mostly faerie nonsense, to talk about an actual real badass. The Pirate Queen, Grace O'Malley decided from a very early age that she wasn't going to have a life of regular chick shit. She wanted to sail a
Today we're talking about a dude who made even special operations dudes and a guy with the Medal of Honor feel kind of nervous. Jerry "Mad Dog" Shriver tore shit up in Vietnam, but he stayed in country waaaaay too long. While he may not have li
It's time, dear listeners, for another badass on the water. And he did it without Kevin Costner's gross webbed feet and gills. Oliver Hazard Perry grew up watching his dad being a bad motherfucker on a ship and decided he wanted to follow in hi
We're headed back to ye olde west to talk about this dapper motherfucker, Ben Thompson. All he wanted to do was gamble and hang out with famous people, but dudes just kept having to try him, so he just had to shoot them. Even the juries kept ag
Today we got one bad seagoing motherfucker for you, dear listeners. Doris Miller was one of many sailors present at Pearl Harbor. And when he looked up into the sky and saw it full of planes with their blinkers on he said, "Not today, Japan!" a
Welcome again, dear listeners, as we close out our week of shitbags with a real winner. This Sicilian, Salvatore Riina, comes to us from Italy, obviously, the land of goofball ass names, a history of failure, and for a specific point in time, m
Welcome back, dear listeners. If you don't like Henry Ford, well, you're right. Also, be prepared to think Harry Bennett is an equally shitty person since well, he was Ford's right hand man. Meaning he was the guy that actually carried out the
We're closing out this week by sticking around World War 2 to talk about another badass shitkicker who decided (correctly) that Nazis needed killing. Anders Lassen decided the rich life wasn't for him and he went a-wandering. Then while wanderi
Today we're talking about a badass broad whose regular boring life got disrupted by the start of World War 2. So she dedicated her life to kicking Nazi dicks into the dirt. Andree Borrel lived in France when the Nazis invaded, and she didn't ta
Today we're bringing you two cowboys for the price of one! Both "Texas Jack" and William Brazelton lived exciting lives full of gunfights, diseases, robberies, and some great quotes. Unfortunately only some of it got written down and remembered
Welcome back, dear listeners! Today we're revisiting Chicago to talk about Tony Accardo. Like most Italian Americans, he was heaviliy involved in crime. In fact, he may actually be our most successful mob type dude we've ever talked about on th
This one is a bit confusing, dear listeners. William Harney certainly did some badass shit in his day, but man was he also a gigantic schmuck. And there's the whole collecting famous friends like Pokemon so he can cash in and avoid getting in t
