Let Them Fight Podcast

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!

Hey there again, dear listeners. We're back with another non-scumbag episode today. We're talking about Mary Edwards Walker, a badass broad who managed to accomplish some incredible things in her day. Now, you might notice something missing from her story and don't worry, I address it. Plenty of great moments and quotes to be had in this episode, so enjoy!

Now don't let appearances fool you, dear listeners. Willis Augustus Lee may look like a huge nerd, but he was a real hellraiser as a kid and a big ol' swinging dick on the sea as an adult. Dude did a lot of great shit, and when his country needed him to fuck up some Japs on the ocean, well that is exactly what this man did, playing a significant role in a very significant battle in the process. Let the American pride wash over you, even if you're from somewhere else, and enjoy!

We're back with another uplifting tale for you dear listeners! Just kidding. While Rubin "Hurricane" Carter did quite a few bad things in his life, he also did some dope stuff. But none of that matters because his life got shoved pretty far off the rails and out of his control, and it didn't go great. Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is just a train about to run your ass over. Or maybe it's a happy ending. Only way to find out is to listen to the episode. Enjoy!

Welcome back, dear listeners. Today we're going back to the only Revolution that matters, America's. And we're talking about a badass Polish dude who decided to throw in with our lot. Tadeusz Kosciuszko may have an awful, garbage name, but the man kicked some major ass. And he helped knock dumb English dicks into the dirt, so he's alright in our book. Then he went on to do even more badass shit across Europe, so there's something for people from very country. Except England. You get nothing. Enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, do we have a real scumbag for you today. Clifford Olson is pretty much rotten to the core. I genuinely can't think of any redeemable qualities about this garbage person anyway. Even other criminals were like, "Wow, this guy fucking sucks." And he never lets up. All the way to the bitter end, dude is a shithead. Tune in for the story, but stick around to hear all of Tim's impotent rage at this Canadian prick. Enjoy!

Today we're going the opposite direction from the war hero of last week to talk about this proof that short people are evil. Francis Crowley earns that last name by being an shitty little bastard his entire life, culminating in what I'm gonna call the least successful crime spree ever, and he deserved what he got. Anyways, enjoy!

We've definitely had some ups and down when it comes to the decency of the people we cover, but this dude Clarence Sasser? Top goddamn notch. He joined the Army because drafts don't really give you a choice, but he made the most of that time in his life and his story is full of just genuine goodness on his part. Listen in and find out what all I'm talking about, and enjoy!

It's been a while since we talked about a dope wild west gunslinging badass, so instead of that, Tim decided to cover this cowardly dickbag of a man. Awesome. Cullen Baker was a real piece of shit, there's pretty much no way to argue any differently. But hey, that means we get to unrepentantly dump all over him and his life. And we definitely take advantage of the opportunity. So you're gonna hate the guy too, but you can join us in making fun of everything about him. Enjoy!

Today's subject is part inspirational tale, and part depressing warning about how garbage life can be. You get to decide which one gets through to you! Either way though, Donnie Andrews was a bad motherfucker in his day, he just happened to direct that energy in a bad way, as he later admitted. He also manages to do something that we haven't seen in over 500 episodes of this show, and I doubt we'll ever see again. What does that mean? Listen and find out. Enjoy!

Today's entry is another blast from the past, John Hunyadi. He came around in Hungary at a time when those dastardly Ottomans basically ran the show, and he sharpened his skills fighting against them along the borders between his lands and theirs. In fact, he was so good at fucking with the Ottomans he turned up in other episodes we've done. Now you can get the full story. Enjoy!

Today's subject is just a nice, ordinary military badass. Or is he? James "Bo" Gritz (not pronounced how you think) did in fact do some shit kicking for the military, but that's just the start of this crazy ass story. The rabbit hole goes deep on this one, and there are enough twists to get M. Night Shyamalan's dick hard. Enjoy!

Today we're giving you a break from the monsters to talk about Wild Bill himself, well, one of the Wild Bills anyway. William Joseph Donovan lived one hell of a life, so sure the nickname fits, but c'mon, dude deserved something a bit more creative. Also, you're gonna feel a little conflicted about this guy when you find out what group he was a part of starting. Enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, we had a request from one of you to cover a woman who is truly evil. Of course, they didn't bother to do any research and just said, "make her evil!" Luckily another listener overheard what was being requested and said, "Oh, I have the perfect woman in mind." Thus Theresa Knorr enters the picture. A woman who does not quite understand what the word "family" means. Everyone should join us in hating her and her dumb bullfrog face. Strap in for this doozy of an episode, and enjoy!

The train of nightmares continues this week with lumpy, walnut face Lawrence Singleton. This piece of shit managed to avoid being even a blip on anyone's radar for most of his life. Then he decided to make a huge goddamn splash and show everyone how inept he was at getting his scumnut off. Then even more fuckery happened because California ain't shit. So join us in making fun of this pile of shit, and also raging at the system a bit, and enjoy!

Today we're bringing you a woman who started off life pretty innocuously, but boy is there a hard shift after a little bit of time. Dana Sue Gray is probably gonna go down in LTF history for the dumbest defense given in court. Literally everything she tried was stupid as hell. The one positive thing I can say about her is at least she was terrible at getting away with her crimes so not that many people got hurt. Come listen to her story and judge her with us. Enjoy!

Today we're talking about a bad motherfucker from New Zealand. Charles Upham had a solid upbringing and life, then World War 2 were declared and he saw it as his duty to sign up. That's when he became one of the hardest bastards that off-brand Australia has every created. This dude stomped Nazis all over the place and survived a hell of a lot of damage along the way. Enjoy!

The subject of today's episode might just have the dumbest name origin story of any person we've ever covered. Carlos the Jackal doesn't let the dumb stop there though. This dude travelled all around the world getting into various shenanigans and pissing people off, never quite seeming to grasp the concept of competency. Sure, sometimes he did ok, but man did he fail a lot along the way. Plenty of twists and turns to this episode, so make sure to pay attention. And enjoy!

Today we have another unrepentant shitbag for you, dear listeners. Todd Kohlhepp. He lived a real tough life growing up, but that's no excuse for the sociopathic nightmare he became. Some people claimed he was smart. I think someone carried a one they weren't supposed to because they dude acted like a straight dumb fuck a lot. Either way, fuck him, but enjoy the episode!
