Ep. 380 Fritz Haber
09/02/2023 Duración: 44minWell, dear listeners, this guy may be the most intelligent person we've ever covered on the podcast. Normally that wouldn't be all that impressive given how dumb a lot of the people we've covered have been. But Fritz Haber really was a goddamn genius. And he used it to tackle some of the greatest problems facing the planet, which unfortunately for some included how to kill the most people the fastest. Enjoy!

Ep. 379 Charles Schmid
07/02/2023 Duración: 37minWell dear listeners, we have another shitbag for you today. Charles Schmid, who also went by "Smitty," because of course he did, was technically a serial killer. But like, he's the serial killer equivalent of a dude showing up for a gangbang with a micropenis. Sure he meets the bare minimum requirement for the job, but we're all going to laugh at him. Also he was apparently super charming, or women back in his day were retarded. Either way I hate him. Anyways, join us in making fun of him, and enjoy!

Ep. 378 Cayetano Santos Godino
02/02/2023 Duración: 30minHere at Let Them Fight HQ, we've made our stance on Italians very clear. And this is yet another shining example of why we're right. This little shit, Cayetano Godino, wasn't even born and raised in Italy and this is how he turned out. Badness is just in their blood. But have fun listening to us shitting all over this little psycho and his big Dumbo ears as he runs around his little slice of Argentina doing guinea things. Enjoy!

Ep. 377 Robert Maudsley
31/01/2023 Duración: 31minToday we have a real interesting one for you, dear listeners. Robert Maudsley's life starts off in a way that should be pretty familiar to any of our regular listeners, but there are more than enough twists to keep things interesting along the way. Then he gets busy with some killin', and normally that would be pretty awful, but for reasons you'll probably be able to figure out on your own when they crop up, you'll want to root for him. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 376 Marc Dutroux
26/01/2023 Duración: 50minTime to close out the week, dear listeners, and well, it's not gonna end on a happy note. We're headed to Belgium, or as I like to call it, shittier France. And we're gonna talk about Marc Dutroux. This fucking guy...what can I say about him except I hope he fucking sucks. Oh, I can also say that the police in Belgium are worth as much as a hard dick in a nunnery. Useless. Anyways, enjoy!
-
Ep. 375 Alek Minassian
24/01/2023 Duración: 52minWell, dear listeners, today's episode is another lesson that not every Canadian is a chill person. Alek Minassian is proof that violence can play an important part in somebody's life, while they still remain a cowardly piece of shit. But don't worry, it's a real uplifting story. You can trust me. I've never lied in one of these before. Anyways, join us in making fun of this System of a Down reject while you actively root against him, because obviously you will. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 374 James Oliver Huberty
19/01/2023 Duración: 01h11minThat's right, dear listeners, three names. You know we're bringing you a real scumbag today. James Oliver Huberty started off life with a series of real shitty happenings, and that's probably where the issues started with him. Things only got worse as he stumbled and failed his way through life for a while, an experience I'm sure most of us can at least sympathize with. Then he got real unhinged and did some shit none of us can sympathize with. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 373 North Hollywood Shootout
17/01/2023 Duración: 01h20minStrap in, dear listeners, because we're going on a journey to the land of broken dreams, Hollywood, North Hollywood anyways. We're going to be talking about a particularly bad day to be in the area though, the day of the North Hollywood Shootout. Arguably one of the most significant events when it comes to shaping law enforcement in America, and overall just one bonkers ass day. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 372 Julie d'Aubigny
12/01/2023 Duración: 58minToday is gonna be a good day, dear listeners, because we have a dope ass broad to discuss. Julie d'Aubigny was famous for a few things, but she was notorious for two, fucking and fighting. And that's at a time when every French person was fucking and fighting, so it's pretty damn impressive. Her life is shrouded in a bit of "is it real or mythology" but to hell with it, all the stories are great so we're keeping 'em all in. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 371 Khalid Ibn al-Walid
10/01/2023 Duración: 01h08minNow, I know we're all aware that Jews and Muslims are natural enemies, like cats and dogs, or people from Alabama and the ability to speak intelligently. But I gotta give credit where it's due, Khalid Ibn al-Walid was one bad motherfucker. This dude stomped all around the old timey world and made his presence known, while also remaining loyal and not getting too full of himself like most warlord types usually do. He put in work and had himself one bonkers life, and we had a lot of fun making fun of all of it. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 370 The Harpe Brothers
05/01/2023 Duración: 42minHello again, dear listeners! Today we'll be closing out the first week of the new year with a trip back to the 1700s, and a bit of a special for you, 2 for 1. You can't talk about just one of the Harpe brothers after all, since they went everywhere together and even crossed the scumnut stream. I'm pretty sure that means something. Anyways, these two vicious bastards got their start most likely from spite, then boy did they run with that and rack up some damage. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 369 Danny Rolling
03/01/2023 Duración: 53minHappy new year, dear listeners! We decided to open up 2023 with a nice lighthearted episode. Just kidding, here's a fucking monster. Danny Rolling's life started off pretty awful, pretty quickly. And that's about how things stayed for the entirety of his life. And boy did he enjoy taking it out on other people. So strap in for another fun episode of scumnuttery. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 368 Paul John Knowles
29/12/2022 Duración: 54minWell, dear listeners, we've had a lot of fun talking about badass heroes, but it's time for a shift back to the scum side of things. Paul John Knowles is on the docket for today, and well, you know what three names means, he's a real piece of shit. But don't worry, he definitely had a good reason for the stuff he did. It's not like he just snapped over something stupid and decided to make a whole bunch of people suffer for it. No way. Anyways, enjoy!
-
Ep. 367 Xiahou Dun
27/12/2022 Duración: 49minThat's right, dear listeners, you can tell by that episode title that we'll be messing up a lot of pronunciations today. Because we're headed to China to talk about Xiahou Dun, one bad motherfucker. A couple familiar faces pop up along the way, and they lend even more credence that our boy Dun was not someone you wanted to fight. And he was loyal to a fault. Dude always put his allies first and surrounded himself with the best of men. Respect. And enjoy!
-
Ep. 366 Yi Sun-sin
22/12/2022 Duración: 56minWell dear listeners, it's time for a sentence I never thought I would ever say on this podcast. We're talking about the Korean navy and its biggest badass, Yi Sun-sin. Hell, this was the first time I learned they even had a navy. But our boy Yi Sun-sin has shown me the error of my ways, dude was fucking awesome. He didn't start in the sea, but once he arrived he took to it, well, like a fish to water, and was goddamn unstoppable. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 365 Augusto Cesar Sandino
20/12/2022 Duración: 01h02sToday we'll be taking a trip to one of the many countries that god forgot, Nicaragua. And once there we're gonna talk about Augusto Cesar Sandino. Augusto was a badass dude that just wanted to see his country free, so he started putting in work even when he was being dismissed as a non-entity. The results were a huge impact on the historical landscape, and one hell of a legacy. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 364 Bob Denard
15/12/2022 Duración: 37minToday we're talking about an OG soldier of fortune, Bob Denard. This French mercenary has never once seen an African country he didn't want to invade and/or overthrow. But don't worry, he totally did it for the right reasons. He wanted money and he really hated communism. Perfectly reasonable right? Also this dude was the Tom Brady of coups, because he didn't know when it was time to just retire. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 363 Henry Every
13/12/2022 Duración: 54minIt's time to return to the high seas, dear listeners. Today we're talking about Henry Every, who was surrounded by blandly named people and badly named ships, but man was he a bad motherfucker. Sure, he did some very questionable things regarding a certain transatlantic trade system, but he also did a bunch of dope shit, so let's focus on that part. If it's good enough for the founding fathers...Anyways, enjoy!
-
Ep. 362 James Scott the 1st Duke of Monmouth
08/12/2022 Duración: 42minHello again there, dear listeners. If you can't tell by the fancy bullshit title James Scott is sporting, he's British. But looking at his picture, he's clearly got some French influence in there as well. He's one shitty European country away from being the blandest turducken. But credit where it's due, he kicked major ass on the battlefield. He rocked around for a while just killing and winning, and plowing fancy upper class ladies on the side. Then kind of has a bummer of an ending, but still had a dope life though. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 361 Paul Ogorzow
06/12/2022 Duración: 57minWelcome back, dear listeners! Today we're heading off to Germany to talk about Paul Ogorzow. This shitty, little troll decided that being a Nazi just wasn't enough for him. Oh no, he wanted to be even more of a garbage person. So he used his job as a railway worker to do some, shall we say, super not cool things. He wasn't really that good at it, or even that smart. But he had tenacity. Like the Rudy of scumnuts, except nobody chanted his name, and even Sean Astin is probably taller than him. Oh well, enjoy!
