Let Them Fight Podcast

Today we have another Englishman for you, dear listeners. This time it's one of the limey pricks we kicked out of America during the Revolutionary War. 'Murica! Oh he did his damnedest to win the war, and he pulled some real douche moves along the way. He's also the inspiration for somebody that may surprise you, or not, who knows? Enjoy!

Today we have quite the interesting story. Nicky Crane may have started out as just a simple violent, street level, racist asshole, but he built up a reputation that spanned at least London. And not only amongst his fellow violent racist assholes, but with a group that may surprise you. So strap in, 'cuz it's gonna get weird. Enjoy!

Today we'll be going to the oft forgotten land of Tasmania, after a very short stop in Ireland. And we'll be talking about Alexander Pearce, a real bad criminal who was sent to the island for stealing shoes, the horror. And once there he managed to escape from an unescapable prison colony, twice! Well, kinda. There's more to the stories, so strap in, and enjoy!

Today we have some good, clean, eastern European fun for you, dear listeners. Jan Zizka was one badass Czechoslovakian. Which isn't a sentence I ever thought I'd be saying, but there it is since he revolutionized medieval warfare. And while the whole "he never lost a battle" rumor about him was bullshit, he won more than he should and minimized casualties in his losses with great tactics. Enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, we have another garbage monster for you today. Patrick Kearney is proof that you can be a sickly near-midget and still put up respectable numbers. Of course, you gotta be a bit sneaky and plan things out, but the proof is there. So get ready for this dude's particular brand of awful, and enjoy!

Today we have another badass motherfucker for you, dear listeners. Vernon Baker overcame a whole grip of racism to get an opportunity to fight in World War 2. When he got that opportunity he damn well took advantage of it and went balls deep into northern Italy to kick Nazi dicks into the dirt. Enjoy!

Stefanie Michele joins us again today to talk about one of Jacob's favorite topics, bikers. Specifically Lorne Campbell who lived one hell of a life and had no qualms including the bad stories along with the good when he talked about his life. Some familiar faces from past episodes also pop up. Enjoy!

Today we're joined by friend of the show, Stefanie Michele, to tell her all about notable garbage person Seung-Hui Cho. After years of people around him ignoring red flags, upsetting behavior, and the worst goddamn poetry in the world, he went on to get the world's worst high score. Enjoy!

Today's person of interest is John List, a real creepy looking bastard. Which is appropriate because he was a real creepy bastard. A pretty smart dude, but so very, very creepy. He's also another cautionary tale for what can happen when you give somebody a garbage childhood and super strict ingrained religious beliefs. Enjoy!

It's been a minute since we've covered a wild west badass, so today we're bringing you Al Sieber, one of the most famous Indian fighters of the late 1800s. He was also one of the few white people that showed some respect to the Apache and was thus respected by them in return. Dude did pretty well for an uneducated German immigrant. Enjoy!

Friend of the show Kyle Clark is back with us again to talk about King of the Gypsies, Bartley Gorman. Not only did he live a bonkers life, but it turns out being a badass runs in his blood. His story is chock full of violence, fantastic quotes, and gypsy shenanigans. Enjoy!

We brought back friend of the show Kyle Clark to talk about Ray Lambert, a dude that lived through some of the worst shit World War 2 had to offer. And he did it all as a medic. Don't worry, he killed some shitbags along the way too, but his main focus was keeping American troops alive, and damn if he wasn't good at his job. Enjoy!

Today we got a type of badass we haven't covered in a while, viking. Harald Hardrada traveled all over the old world and honed his killing abilities. First in Russia, and you know those psycho ice monsters know how to get killing done. Then he was off to fuck with Jaffar in Constantinople, and boy did he make bank doing that. From there, the world was his stabbable oyster, and he had shellfish every night. Enjoy!

We got a long one for you today, dear listeners. We even thought we were gonna have to split this one into two episodes, but it all worked out and we were able to bring this shining beacon of good citizenry to you in just a single day. I'm kidding about that good citizenry part though, Peter Sutcliffe was a massive piece of shit. But man did he stay busy. And he was protected along the way by apathy, incompetence, and a fine bit of chicanery. So give a listen to the life of the Yorkshire Ripper, enjoy!

Today, dear listeners, we have a tale of great success, and even greater failure. A story both fun and sad. We're talking about Valentine Strasser. At one point he was the most important person in the entire country of Sierra Leone, and at another he was drinking palm wine in the slums since that's what you do when you're unemployed. In any event, he lived a very interesting life and we're here to make fun of all of it. Enjoy! 

Welcome to the first episode of the new year, dear listeners! We're bringing you another military man from up Canada way, a pilot this time. But Russell Williams is more than just that. There's a nice "fun" surprise twist in this episode, like an M. Night Shyamalan movie! Here's hoping you find it more like The Sixth Sense than The Happening, but we'll see. Enjoy!

Welcome to the last episode of 2021, dear listeners. We have another man with three names for you, which historically means prepare for awfulness. But this one is blessedly free of any of that, he's just a plain and simple badass. I mean, sure he kind of fought for some bad people, but he did a lot of badass stuff and didn't really do anything shitty on his end, so we can forgive him. Enjoy, and happy new year!

Today we're talking about another Joseph, but this one was dope as hell. He found probably the bonkerest way to deal with all the stress leading up to Operation Market Garden during World War 2, then had to deal with that whole cluster fuck of a battle. But then he got to take a nice tour of the European countryside before making his way back to England. Enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, (one of) you asked for it, so you got it. Today's episode is Josef Fritzl and well, he is a monster of a piece of shit. His story has quite a few twists and turns along the way and around every corner is another nightmare. He also takes the grand prize for scumbaggiest way to defend his crimes that I've ever heard. Also, he should definitely get whatever the opposite of a #1 Dad mug is. Enjoy!

Today we have a real treat for you, dear listeners. A real pipe hitting badass named Rick Rescorla, and the only person in history nicknamed "Hardcore" and they weren't a putz. Aside from Hardcore Holly, may his career rest in peace. Anyways, this dude was awesome and while he kept taking work where he was kinda fighting for a bad cause, he left when he realized how shitty it was. Also, you for sure won't see where his story is gonna end up, I know I fucking didn't. Enjoy!
