Ep. 479 Bertrand du Guesclin
23/01/2024 Duración: 01h19minWelcome back, dear listeners. We're going all Marsellus Wallace and getting medieval on this episode to talk about badass knight, and champion of ugly bastards the world over, Bertrand du Guesclin. This Frenchy ran around during the Hundred Years' War kicking in the teeth of the British, and just generally making himself a nuisance. Unlike some recent commanders we've talked about, Bertrand was actually good at his job and put in some damn fine work. But we're still gonna make fun of him. Anyway, enjoy!

Ep. 478 Erwin Rommel
18/01/2024 Duración: 01h51minAlright, dear listeners, you've been requesting him for a minute, so here you go. One of the big swinging dicks of Naziland, Erwin Rommel. Regarded as one of the best military commanders in history, but was he? And frequently given a pass for being on the side of the Nazis because he himself didn't join the party. Well we're here to talk about his life and the stuff he accomplished, but also say fuck this sauerkraut eating motherfucker when it's due too. Enjoy!

Ep. 477 Shamil Basayev
16/01/2024 Duración: 01h57minOne man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. That's what people say anyways. Then again, sometimes people are just both. Like our guy today, Shamil Basayev. Sure, fighting against Russia is a good thing. But it's pretty hard for anybody to say he was a good guy after you look at the way he did stuff. Though isn't it refreshing to just have a regular old war criminal today? Thought so. Enjoy!

Ep. 476 Jake Davison
11/01/2024 Duración: 01h02minUgh. This fucking guy. When the best thing you can think of to say about a guy is, "at least he's not as bad as Huckle," you know that dude is a giant piece of shit. And that's the case with today's person, Jake Davison. He went from being a half-retarded whiny piece of shit, to a half-retarded whiny piece of shit that also hurt innocent people. Great leap there in your quest to be less of a shithead, you fucking failure. Anyways, at least you don't have to feel guilty about the stuff we say about him, because he sucks. Enjoy!

Ep. 475 Richard Huckle
09/01/2024 Duración: 01h22minUgh, I gotta be honest with you, dear listeners. This episode is gonna be rough. I don't know if you can see the picture of this guy, but if you can, well, then you probably know what kinda crimes are gonna be popping up in this episode. The fucking worst. I'll just say, if you had a tough time with Peter Scully, well...So brace yourself as best you can, and enjoy? I guess? I dunno, good luck anyways!

Ep. 474 Judy Buenoano
04/01/2024 Duración: 49minAnother shitbird for you today, dear listeners! Judy Buenoano, despite looking like the female Richard Ramirez, somehow kept managing to find men she could use for their money, and get away with it. And quite a few people got killed along the way. Join us as we talk about this broad's life as a garbage person, and of course make fun of her along the way. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 473 James Robert Scott
02/01/2024 Duración: 01h05minToday's episode is a bit of an oddity. See, we have James Robert Scott, who is kind of a huge piece of shit. Then some real garbage stuff happens and everyone just kind of decides, "Hey you, mullethead. You fucking dick. This was your fault!" and blames him. But there is a very strong case that none of it is his fault after all. So you be the judge, dear listeners. Does this shithead deserve his fate or not? Enjoy!

Ep. 472 John Allan Chapman
28/12/2023 Duración: 54minToday we've got the baddest dude the Air Force ever produced. And if you don't think that sounds like much, well homeboy was rocking with the SEALs, and I doubt you know how to recognize a badass better than they can. John Allan Chapman just wanted to serve his country, but found himself as the go to guy for when the Air Force needed a hard charging, pipe hitting, dick swinging motherfucker, and he did it well. He went out on his own terms, making the ultimate sacrifice and making everyone else pay for it on his way out the door. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 471 Eric Rudolph
26/12/2023 Duración: 01h03minFollowing the war hero of last week, today we have a guy who couldn't make it in the military. Eric Rudolph was pretty shit at everything in his life really. Then after hanging around with some dipshits for a while he decided the world needed more craters in it. There's plenty of incompetence along the way, both from the police and our person of interest for this episode. So prepare to hate everyone. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 470 Lafayette Green Pool
21/12/2023 Duración: 50minWe're closing out the week with another bad motherfucker from World War 2, Lafayette Green Pool. This dude took his tank, which admittedly had a pretty weak name, and drove it straight down Nazi throats. We can forgive the name since he more than makes up for it in dead Nazis. Also look out for a couple accidental Jewstradamus moments. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 469 Herb Baumeister
19/12/2023 Duración: 01h10minWho's ready for another dose of that scumnut? Today we have this Indiana based little weenie, Herb Baumeister. He should start setting off alarm bells in your head pretty much right off the bat in this story. And guess what? Those alarms are all correct. But don't worry, though things get bad and police incompetence rears its ugly head again, it all ends nice and satisfyingly and there is justice for all! Or maybe not. Listen in and find out. Enjoy!

Ep. 468 Tom Molineaux
14/12/2023 Duración: 01h26sToday we're bringing you a rags to riches story about an old timey bareknuckle boxer, Tom Molineaux. After After whooping enough ass in America to prove himself, he decided to take a little jaunt across the pond to go beat down some English folk. And of course we got some goofy bullshit slang for you from the British to go along with the change of scenery. Then at the end, most of the people get a happy ending, yay! Anyways, enjoy!

Ep. 467 Robledo Puch
12/12/2023 Duración: 01h02minWell hello there, dear listeners. It's time for a trip down to Argentina to talk about a baby faced little shit by the name of Robledo Puch. And we're pronouncing it "Puke," because fuck him. He got his start doing some petty shit, but boy did he not stay in the petty realm. He decided he wanted to swim in the deep end of the crime pool and turned to capping people, until he was foiled by his own stupidity. Then the good part starts. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 466 Caravaggio
07/12/2023 Duración: 01h06minToday we're bringing you a badass of Italian origin, dear listeners. I know, I'm as shocked as you are that one exists but here we are. This dude spent all his time painting surprisingly good pieces of art, and a few other activities that I don't want to spoil here. But trust me, the violence is definitely there. Just look at the portrait of this dude. Even in that you can see that this man had hate in his heart, and he needed to get it out and inflict it upon other people. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 465 Walter Rudolph Walsh
05/12/2023 Duración: 59minWe're bringing you another old badass today, dear listeners. Well, to be fair this dude was a badass when he was young too, he just never stopped being a badass. Walter Rudolph Walsh was basically born to shoot guns, and shoot them better than almost everyone else. Sometimes he did it for competition's sake, and sometimes he did it because somebody down range needed to catch some lead. But either way, he was a goddamn master. Kick back and listen to an episode where the other shoe never drops, it's just a cool dude doing badass shit the whole way through. Enjoy!

Ep. 464 John Allen Muhammad
30/11/2023 Duración: 01h03minThe week of two Johns continues today with John Allen Muhammad. A devoted family man and car modification enthusiast who took a young Jamaican immigrant under his wing. Then kinda sorta taught him how to kill people. Then they killed a bunch of people. Alright, maybe he was kind of a shitty person. And his alleged ultimate plan was goddamn nuts. Enjoy!
-
Ep. 463 John L. Burns
28/11/2023 Duración: 01h08minThank you for joining us today, dear listeners, in another installment of old men be fucking crazy. John L. Burns craved violence, and it just kept seeming to escape him. Then he saw an opportunity and took it, getting to fight in a pretty unique way. And held his own. Dude definitely peeled back a few caps that day. Then lived to tell the tale. Even got a poem written about him by Bret Harte, before him and Owen went off to wrestle in the WWF I guess. Anyway, old dude was a badass, so enjoy!

Ep. 462 Luigi Cadorna
23/11/2023 Duración: 01h08minMerry feastmas, dear listeners! If you've been thinking that there hasn't been enough Italian hate on the show, well this is the episode for you. This big Italian meatball, Luigi Cadorna, gives us all the ammo we could want to make fun of him as he proceeds to spill his failings, and mom's spaghetti, out all over World War 1. So after you're done filling your belly with turkey, join us in filling it with rage, and enjoy!

Ep. 461 Omaima Nelson
21/11/2023 Duración: 01h13minWelcome back, dear listeners! In today's episode we're covering an Egyptian model who had one doozy of a childhood. Now I know that a model doesn't seem like the kind of person you'd hear about on this show, but Omaima Nelson definitely earns herself a spot on the scumnut list after the way she celebrated Thanksgiving in a, let's say, less than orthodox way. Also a bunch of other stuff she did to survive an admittedly less than ideal life was pretty goddamn sketchy. Enjoy!

Ep. 460 Henry Wirz
16/11/2023 Duración: 01h07minToday we'll be getting into the filth, and the grime, and the grub in the tub, to talk about the aptly nicknamed Demon of Andersonville. Henry Wirz started out life as a simple Swiss businessman who liked getting paid just a little too much. Then he got busted for not being very good at it and had to leave. Once in America he found his true calling and really threw himself into his work. And boy did he make a name for himself here. Enjoy!
