1d ago44:37

44:37

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 …

8d ago1:07:30

1:07:30

CH101 Select: In 2006, a producer thought it would be a good idea for double-acquitted murderer OJ Simpson's comeback project to be a zany hidden camera prank show called Juice'd. As in, a prank is pulled, OJ Simpson pops out, and goes, "You've been Juiced," at which point the person pranked goes, "HEY, AREN'T YOU THAT GUY WHO MURDERED THOSE PEOPLE…

Ep. 502 John Bell Hood 56:19

8d ago56:19

56:19

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 fu…

15d ago1:11:41

1:11:41

Today we'll be talking about a dude that got shipped off to Australia after running amok through England. And I'm not one to side with the Brits, but well, Thomas Jeffrey for sure earned himself that transportation sentence. Then he got to Australia and totally calmed down. I'm kidding, he became an even bigger turd and ran around even more amok. S…

Ep. 499 Hong Xiuquan 1:36:53

17d ago1:36:53

1:36:53

If you can read that name you know what it means, we'll be fucking up a lot of pronunciations today. Hong Xiuquan was a simple man, in that he was incredibly stupid. Then he decided one day that not only was he not actually stupid, he was goddamn divine. So of course he calls for a crusade, or whatever they'd call it in China. And so begins one of …

24d ago1:08:15

1:08:15

On today's episode we have a super rich English woman who was smart as hell in school. And also pretty much incompetent at everything she did in the real world. Or inept at best I suppose.

Ep. 494 John Ashley 1:04:36

1M ago1:04:36

1:04:36

On today's episode we'll be talking about the guy that might be the origin of everyone thinking Florida is full of psychopaths. John Ashley had a pretty unassuming name, the looks of a Bond villain, and a rap sheet that is truly impressive.

1M ago1:34:23

1:34:23

It's time, dear listeners, for another badass on the water. And he did it without Kevin Costner's gross webbed feet and gills. Oliver Hazard Perry grew up watching his dad being a bad motherfucker on a ship and decided he wanted to follow in his footsteps, and then one up him.

We're headed back to ye olde west to talk about this dapper motherfucker, Ben Thompson.

1:33:32

Today we got one bad seagoing motherfucker for you, dear listeners. Doris Miller was one of many sailors present at Pearl Harbor. And when he looked up into the sky and saw it full of planes with their blinkers on he said, "Not today, Japan!" and hopped on a gun and started firing. It's debatable how effective he actually was on said gun, but his b…

1:07:35

Welcome again, dear listeners, as we close out our week of shitbags with a real winner. This Sicilian, Salvatore Riina, comes to us from Italy, obviously, the land of goofball ass names, a history of failure, and for a specific point in time, more goddamn explosions than a Michael Bay movie. Somebody must have explained the concept of collateral da…

Ep. 487 Harry Bennett 1:33:25

2M ago1:33:25

1:33:25

Welcome back, dear listeners. If you don't like Henry Ford, well, you're right. Also, be prepared to think Harry Bennett is an equally shitty person since well, he was Ford's right hand man. Meaning he was the guy that actually carried out the ideas that Ford had. Since Ford wasn't gonna get his own hands dirty, oh no. So expect plenty of shenaniga…

Ep. 482 William S. Harney 1:04:11

3M ago1:04:11

1:04:11

This one is a bit confusing, dear listeners. William Harney certainly did some badass shit in his day, but man was he also a gigantic schmuck. And there's the whole collecting famous friends like Pokemon so he can cash in and avoid getting in trouble for all his schmuckery. Luckily for me, ,he does a couple things that were just enough for me to de…

Ep. 481 Joseph Kallinger 1:33:04

3M ago1:33:04

1:33:04

Well, dear listeners, we're back to kick off the week with another garbage monster requested by one of you. Joseph Kallinger's story is pretty much awful right from the jump. And every time you think, "well that was fucked up, I'm sure it won't get worse," well, guess what happens. And as if being a terrible excuse for a human wasn't enough, he was…

Ep. 480 Alexander Pechersky 1:04:11

3M ago1:04:11

1:04:11

We're back with another bad motherfucker from World War 2. Alexander Pechersky was just a simple Russian citizen when the war kicked off, and like everyone in the country, he was told, "Hey, you're in the army now." So he stepped up and got busy. Then some things went real bad for him. So again, he stepped up and got busy. Listen in to find out how…

1:51:09

Alright, 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 …

Ep. 477 Shamil Basayev 1:57:30

3M ago1:57:30

1:57:30

One 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…

Ep. 476 Jake Davison 1:02:27

1:02:27

Ugh. 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. Gr…

Ugh, 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 yo…

Ep. 473 James Robert Scott 1:05:52

4M ago1:05:52

1:05:52

Today'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…

Ep. 472 John Allan Chapman 54:55

4M ago54:55

Today 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 chargin…

4M ago1:03:17

1:03:17

Following 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 in…
