Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast Jacob Trimmer and Tim Groeschel

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!

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!

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!

Today we're going way back in history to pre-democracy Greece to talk about Miltiades, a man who didn't take no shit and always got his revenge. He had a pretty good early life due to his dad being a famous badass chariot rider. Then things took a bit of a turn, but he kept pushing on, making his own legacy as the guy who took every opportunity to dick kick Darius and his Persian empire. And boy did he make the most of that opportunity. Tons of fun to be had here, and we even created a new word. So, enjoy!

Today's person of interest is another traitor, I mean, Confederate general. John Bell Hood cut his teeth early in the Civil War being the guy that always attacked hard. Spoiler alert, you don't always want to attack hard. He even inspired a quote from Robert E. Lee himself. Though he probably wasn't very happy about it. As always we had a lot of fun making fun of this dumb rebel, so give a listen and enjoy!

That's right, dear listeners, you recognize that name. We're headed back in time to the no longer existing country of Wallachia to talk about the inspiration for one of the greatest and most classic of the horror monsters. Now our boy Vlad the Impaler, or Vlad Dracula, or however you want to refer to him, got real brutal back in his day. The Impaler isn't just a nickname they give everybody after all. So get ready for some carnage and enjoy!
