Ep. 140 Fred West
22/10/2020 Duración: 01h11minWell, dear listeners, our break from the garbage monsters didn't last long. Today we're talking about Fred West, who is definitely up there in the hall of fame for scumbags, and looks like the British version of Bob from That 70s Show. The upside to this episode is at least we got to showcase how incompetent the authorities are in England, so it's not just us here in America that suck at stopping evil. Also, the Scottish dude was the best person in this whole deal. Anyways, enjoy!

Ep. 139 Freddie and Truus Oversteegen, and Hannie Schaft
20/10/2020 Duración: 01h49sToday we have three badass women to balance out some of the awful people we usually talk about. Freddie Oversteegen, her sister Truus, and Hannie Schaft were in Europe when the Nazis started fucking with all the countries they could. And rather than sit back and take it, like all the politicians in the Netherlands did, these broads fought back with enough fury, and results, to make Aldo the Apache giggle with delight. Enjoy the story of these teenage asskickers!

Ep. 138 Anatoly Onoprienko
15/10/2020 Duración: 53minWhat can I say about today's person, Anatoly Onoprienko, except, yeesh. And holy shit was he good at killing. Turns out Ukrainians make way better murderers than we do here in America. This dude just never seemed to miss, except maybe one time. Maybe. It's not even confirmed. He also brought us another round of courtroom batshittery, and some insight into just how broken the judicial system is in former Soviet Bloc nations. Enjoy the bonkers shenanigans of this semi-Russian!

Ep. 137 Leonarda Cianciulli
13/10/2020 Duración: 36minToday's person of interest has a face even her mother couldn't love, which is at least somewhat understandable given the circumstances of her birth. But anyways, we returned to the land of lasagna to tell you about Leonarda Cianciulli and the secret ingredient in her soap. It's love! Just kidding, it is in fact the polar opposite of love. Pure, beautiful, unfiltered hate. Enjoy this foot faced pasta monster and all of her grossness!

Ep. 136 Albert Hicks (Guests: Real Rich and Dub)
08/10/2020 Duración: 01h13minHello, dear listeners! We're joined again by the hilarious duo of Real Rich and Dub to talk about kind of pirate, Albert Hicks. After a pretty not so great childhood, he went on to live the life from that old joke about the army. Travel to exotic, distant lands where you'll meet exciting, unusual people, and kill them. Dude was legitimately a crazy person, but man was he fun. Also here's a poll for anybody who reads this, is "monkey jacket" racist? What say ye, dear listeners? Enjoy!

Ep. 135 Scott "Junior" Ereckson (Guests: Real Rich and Dub)
06/10/2020 Duración: 02h23minToday we're joined by friends of the show, and fellow podcasters, Real Rich and Dub. We had a great time talking with them about Scott "Junior" Ereckson, notable ex-con and former national president of the Mongols MC. Way better than Doc Cavazos if you remember that shithead from one of our early episodes. Jail/prison politics, possibly an accidental murder, ass marshmallows, and Rich blaming Tim for Jacob being fat, we have it all on this episode, enjoy!

Ep. 134 Paddy Mayne
01/10/2020 Duración: 01h27minToday we return to one of our favorite time periods, World War 2, to talk about batshit insane, pipe hitting, shitkicker Paddy Mayne. You can tell somebody lived a life when fighting for the Scottish Commandos was the least bonkers thing he did. This Irishman sets some impressive records and plays a good amount of fun little pranks as he develops into the Axis killing monster he was destined to become. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 133 Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
29/09/2020 Duración: 01h55sWe're back to tell you all about Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. And with a name like that you just know he could only be a Civil War officer. Luckily this one was on the correct side and if you can see the picture of him, you can tell by his glorious mustache that he kicked the rebel dicks into the dirt. So kick back and enjoy the story of how this dweeb ass nerd became a badass shitkicker for the Union!
-
Ep. 132 Ramzi Yousef
24/09/2020 Duración: 41minSomething new for you today, dear listeners, as we talk about comedically inept terrorist Ramzi Yousef. Like, so hilariously bad at it that honestly we might have been ok with just giving him a pass criminally speaking. But boy did he sure give it his best effort, which kinda makes it sadder really. He is to terrorist what the Houston police department is to catching serial killers. But boy is he a joy to make fun of. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 131 Dean Corll
22/09/2020 Duración: 01h46minWho's ready for another nightmare person? Because today we're talking about creepy ass Texan, Dean Corll. Known as The Candyman, for exactly the reason you'd think. Not big on creativity are we, Texas? Anyways, he racked up quite the body count and even managed to net some accidental deaths just as a side bonus to the ones he actually caused directly. So join us in laughing at how painfully inept the police department was at catching this guy. Enjoy!

Ep. 130 Eugene Jacques Bullard
17/09/2020 Duración: 50minToday we're covering Eugene Bullard, the first black American pilot, he just had to do it for the French. Dude wrecked some serious shit in World War 2 and was given the nickname, "The Black Swallow of Death." Which sounds badass, except the unit he fought with was called "The Swallows of Death" so the Germans were just calling him the black one. Pretty fucked up. Anyways, dude lived a bonkers life and accomplished more than most people would with ten lives, and even his post-war time was crazy. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 129 Tie Domi
15/09/2020 Duración: 39minToday we're bringing you a scrappy little Canadian Albanian, Tie Domi, who took his Albanian genetic's predisposition to violence and became a hockey player. He set some records while playing, just not for points, or assists, or consecutive games starting, or anything like that. No, he set records for stuff like most asses kicked while wearing ice skates, making the most mascots cry in one year, so on and so forth. He also has the best origin story for a friendship I've ever heard. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 128 Tsutomu Miyazaki
10/09/2020 Duración: 52minWell I have good news, dear listeners. I've finally found something that disgusts me more than people who wear Birkenstock sandals, this dude's fucking hands. Tsutomu Miyazaki got up to some real evil shenanigans. Well I guess shenanigans is the wrong word, more like crimes against humanity. But those goddamn hands are what will haunt me until the day I die. If you can't see the picture attached to the episode, Google it and join my despair. Also, Japanese serial killers are pretty rare, so enjoy this one!
-
Ep. 127 Zhang Zongchang
08/09/2020 Duración: 55minToday we're going back a few years to talk about China's basest warlord, the dogmeat general, Zang Zongchang. He was a part of some massively significant times in China's history, and some incredibly hilarious nonsense. And make sure you stick around til the end because it turns out Zang also wrote poetry and of course we're gonna read it. So strap in for some fighting, yelling at gods, and petty assassinations!

Ep. 126 Anthony Tait
03/09/2020 Duración: 01h50minWelcome back, dear listeners. It's been a minute since we covered a biker, so here you go, Anthony Tait. He quickly rose in ranks of the Hells Angels motorcycle club, then became one of their most hated ex members. Along they way he got involved in plenty of shenanigans of the fisticuffs and firearm varieties. Also he may or may not have been kinda racist and made a pimp shit his pants. He also taught karate and definitely killed a guy. Either way, his life was bonkers and a lot of fun to talk about. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 125 Robert Lewis Howard
01/09/2020 Duración: 50minToday we're talking about war hero, and if his photo is anything to go from, world's strongest chin, Robert Lewis Howard. Dude went to Vietnam and learned that he does two things very well, get shot to hell, and survive getting shot to hell. He also kicked some major Vietnamese ass, but man was he pumped full of lead along the way. He went on to train special forces units and ended his career as a colonel, and was one of the most decorated service members. Also dude had to be at least a little crazy, enjoy!
-
Ep. 124 Clarence Smoyer
27/08/2020 Duración: 01h15minWe're going back to World War 2, because there are a ton of badasses to cover from that war, to talk about tank gunner Clarence Smoyer. His name sounds more fitting for some French pastry chef, but dude kicked some major kraut ass and from a mostly seated position that's pretty damn impressive. If you've never learned about what tank crews went through during World War 2, now is your chance. Enjoy!

Ep. 123 Pyrrhus of Epirus
25/08/2020 Duración: 01h12minWe're back with another week of episodes for you, dear listeners. Starting off we'll be going back to old timey Greece to talk about ancient badass warrior and general, Pyrrhus of Epirus. Dude ran around everywhere he could kicking ass and taking loot, sometime having to make due with a much smaller army than his opponents. He even fucked with the Romans for a time. And he kept kicking ass until the day he died, in a fashion I'm sure nobody will guess. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 122 Bat Masterson
20/08/2020 Duración: 01h27minToday we'll be talking about Bat Masterson, a man most people have probably never heard of but who played a significant role in the old west and was friends with all the people you have heard of. He also stuck around long enough to be a significant part of the US after the turn of the century. Mostly in boxing, but homie was friends with a president. A goddamn president. And not one of the shitty ones either. Who else do you know that went from shooting people in dance halls to chilling in the White House?

Ep. 121 El Cid
18/08/2020 Duración: 55minHello again, dear listeners! Today we'll be taking you to Spain to talk about Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, AKA El Cid, which apparently translates to The Lord/The Master in their terrible, terrible language. He kicked some serious Moor ass, then some serious Spaniard ass, then basically the ass of anybody who got in his way. A lot of bonkers stories about this guy because he was basically the Spanish version of King Arthur, and is reputed to have never lost a battle. Enjoy!
