Howdy, dear listeners. Today we're headin' out west to the American frontier, a place of legends and tall tales, to talk about renowned badass knife fighter Jim Bowie. We're mostly sticking to the real stuff though, not the legend and folklore, since the dude lived a hell of a life without the exaggerated stories. His has plenty of ups and down, cholera and Mexicans, you name it. So listen in and remember this episode, enjoy! Links in the comments

Welcome back, dear listeners! We have got a real fun story for you today. We're gonna talk about Jack Idema. A former Green Beret that has given interviews and technical expertise to a ton of journalists, he's given humanitarian aid, but most of all he's spent time in the Middle East doing some real boots on the ground work. Exactly what you'd expect from a Green Beret right? A real badass! Well, I don't want to spoil the story so you'll just have to listen in and see for yourself. Enjoy! Links in the comments

Welcome back, dear listeners, as we take another foray into Scotland. Because everyone loves hearing about the English getting their dicks kicked into the dirt, who cares that it's gonna end tragically because that's what happens to the Scots? Anyway, James Douglas was dope as hell, and the man knew how to fight. And boy did he love doing it. He spent a lifetime terrorizing the English until they couldn't take any more. Listen in for all the fun details. Enjoy! Links in the comments

It's time to take a trip down south to Tasmania, or as I call it, Australia adjacent. When I first heard that Harry Murray had the nickname of "Mad" I didn't really see it. Nothing jumped out as too crazy. Then I saw his picture and yup, those eyes? He's crazy as f**k. But in a good way. The military bottled that crazy up and hurled it at the enemy and let him just do his thing. And boy did he do that thing. Enjoy! Links in the comments

Today we're talking about a man with the blandest of names, John Riley. He's also Irish if you couldn't tell from the episode picture of a statue with the world's most Irish face, so you know what that means. A story that ends tragically, that's right! He shows up here in America after getting out of Ireland when the getting was good, and signs up to fight for his new country. At which point everything starts to go downhill. How you wonder? Well, wonder no more, just listen to the episode. Enjoy! Links in the comments

Prepare to be confused, dear listeners. For today we'll be talking about Lester Brockelhurst, a dude whose motives and decisions make absolute no goddamn sense ever. He started his life as just a simple good old boy from the Midwest, then becomes a Mormon, then runs off to 1930s Chicago and decides to reinvent himself. And then every decision he makes from there just leaves me scratching my head. But it's entertaining, and that's what matters. Enjoy! Links in the comments

Today we're taking a trip back to the 1800s to talk about a group we haven't gotten around to very often, but who kicked major ass, the Punjabi Sikhs. These were some brutal pipe hitting motherf**kers, and when Hari Singh Nalwa showed up, he became the most pipe hittingest of all of them. A figurative and literal giant, this dude started leading soldiers into battle at an early age and then just kept kicking dicks into dirt until it was his time to punch out. One hardcore bastard. Enjoy! Links in the comments

It's time to hit the high seas again, dear listeners. This time it's to talk about Henry Morgan, scourge of the Spanish long before he became the scourge of the livers of anyone with $20 (Yes, Captain Morgan). As a privateer, he was one ballsy motherf**ker, and got so lucky you'd think he had a horseshoe and a 4 leaf clover up his ass. Or maybe the Spanish were really that incompetent. You decide. Also, enjoy! Links in the comments

This week we return to everyone's least favorite island, Great Britain. But we're going way back in time to some double digit years to talk about badass Celtic queen, Boudica. Our tale picks up when the Romans decided to do the one thing you shouldn't do to a woman made out of fury and vengeance, and that's underestimate her. And cue Bodies by Drowning Pool, because that's the best way to describe what happens next. Enjoy! Links in the comments

11/03/2025

Today we're covering another dude from one of our favorite time periods, the American Civil War. George Henry Thomas was real good at his job and he made sure to get s**t done. Even before the Civil War when we were snatching up all that sweet Mexican land. But dude had the worst luck and wound up playing second fiddle to a lot of people you'll recognize, which explains why nobody recognizes him. Still dope though, so enjoy! Links in the comments

04/03/2025

Good news, dear listeners, we were able to get this episode out on time. So join us on this trip down to the land of mustaches to talk about Emiliano Zapata. This dude grew up loving his land and his country and he committed his life to fighting for it. There were some problems along the way though...So turn your headsets to Spanish, throw on some of those long pointy cowboy boots, and enjoy! Links in the comments

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you an update about an ongoing situation we have on our end. Tim is currently in the hospital waiting for surgery, it's not life threatening but they won't let him leave. I can only assume it's because they only want to ruin one bed with a him shaped impression. But this means we can't record anything right now until he's released back home. Hoping to only miss a week, but we don't know yet. Once we have a better time line we'll post another update. Thank you all for bearing with us!
