    Ep. 509 Samuel "Champ" Ferguson

    Ep. 509 Samuel "Champ" Ferguson

    We're back with another round of people who were on the wrong side of history, and also giant pieces of shit. Samuel "Champ" Ferguson decided to fight on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War. But not as a legitimate soldier for the most part, and also not out of any sense of patriotism, or southern pride, or anything that could kinda be respectable I guess. Nope, out of sheer self serving interests. Then he went on to commit a bunch of heinous acts and pretend he right to do so. So listen in while we dump on this guy, and enjoy!

    Ep. 508 Rudolf Hess

    Well, dear listeners, Tim done did it again and dropped a big ol' Nazi bomb all over the podcast. Today we're talking about Rudolf Hess, a shitsucker from day one, and boy did he not change his ways as time went on. Though he did get crazier and way more bonkers. I definitely didn't see where this episode was headed, but I enjoyed talking shit on this Nazi dickhead the whole way through. So listen along and find out just how much he sucked. And enjoy!

    Ep. 507 H.H. Holmes

    Ep. 507 H.H. Holmes

    Today we're bringing you a long, much requested person from the great corrupted city of Chicago, H.H. Holmes. Of course, we can't catch a break here so the technical issues continue and fucked up the sound on this one a bit, hopefully you can bear with us because this story is worth it. We had a lot of fun talking about this murderous conman and making fun of all the parts of his life story, both true and false. And there's some extra stuff in here at the end that you won't wanna miss. Enjoy!

    Ep. 506 William "King" Hale

    Ep. 506 William "King" Hale

    For the last Thursday episode we're bringing you William "King" Hale, a man so clearly the bad guy in life that he even looks like Judge Doom from Roger Rabbit. Yet for some reason people still let him do his thing and get power and influence. Dumbasses. Anyways, this guy did some truly evil stuff and was responsible for a whole lot of deaths, so get ready to say, "Wow, what a piece of shit," a lot while listening. Enjoy!

    Ep. 505 Deborah Sampson

    Ep. 505 Deborah Sampson

    Today we have proof that George Washington wasn't the only genetic freak running around the battlefield during the Revolutionary war. Because Deborah Sampson was out there too, not letting a little thing like the lack of testicles get in the way of her fighting for her country. She may have missed most of the war, but she showed up in the end and put in work for America, we we gotta give respect to this tough ass broad. But we still make the jokes. Enjoy!

    Ep. 504 Douglas Albert Munro

    Ep. 504 Douglas Albert Munro

    Never thought I'd be saying that today we'll be talking about a badass member of the Coast Guard, but I'm glad to be wrong about that. Douglas Munro was just a regular, genuinely good dude when he saw the writing on the wall and knew the US was gonna be balls deep in some German and Japanese ass soon. So he signed up as a Coastie because he wanted to help people. Then he went about learning everything he could to do his job, then learn the next job, until it was time to use all those skills at one of the most important battles in the Pacific Theater. Enjoy!

When the brits don’t quit

I loved the episode of Bridget Dugdale. The humour is always hilarious. It’s always great to hear your hometown mentioned especially when they say it wrong (wether accidental or on purpose) pronounced (Stra-ban) we potato munchers always enjoy a good laugh. Thanks for the awesome episode.

I regret listening to this

Sooo funny, but I really regretted listening to Richard Chase and Marcus Wesson. Love how you find humour in worst of humanity though, and how I sometimes feel bad for laughing. Also love your more historical episodes about awesome rather than terrible people. For scumnuts, I’d love to hear an episode on Stephen Port or Lucy Letby. For an awesome person, I’d love you to do Oliver Reed.

Greatly historical

This podcast is hilarious, the highlight of my week and also very educational, definitely give it a try and start with the Richard chase episode, you wont regret it.
And yes I’m just leaving a review so you have to cover someone,
