  • Ep. 506 William "King" Hale
    Apr 25 2024

    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
    Apr 23 2024

    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
    Apr 18 2024

    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!

Great entertainment

Gets me through my work day. pretty well researched and they put up with me bugging them on social media about minuit points they may have missed. Hearing their labored breathing and burping is just extra
entertainment.

Hilarious if you're dead inside

These two sacks of human vomit are actually pretty funny, if you don't mind laughing at other people's trauma and horrible events... which is fine by me. So I threw y'all 5 bucks since you lazy bums can't upload more than 2 episodes at a time and I need entertainment at work.

PSA: Don't forget to hit pause if you're going thru a drive thru or you might get some weird looks when they hand you your food.

Dan Carlin, but significantly less respectable.

Laughed so hard at the Thomas Cochrane episode that I forgot I was cooking a pork chop and it got burned worse than Joan of Arc....

Horatio Nelson would be the perfect subject for an episode. The man was so bad ass and was basically a walking meme.

You guys are awesome, and I will consider contributing to your Patreon once I financially recover from that catastrophic loss of pork chop.

Amazing, especially if you're a bit twisted

Stumbled across this while looking for war heroes stories, liked the style and then checked the other, less wholesome, episodes; turns out this is my favorite podcast.
These two fat bastards have a great sense of humor and do a pretty respectable job when it comes to research.
Totally recommend it, just be careful on which episode you want to start with and, for the love of God, wear headphones.

As for requests, see if any of the following specimens strike your fancy: Salvatore Riina, Junio Valerio Borghese, Irene of Athens.

9 out of 10 doctors recommend this podcast!

If you're looking to laugh, cry, get excited, take pity, get depressed, hate yourself or others, or just need to see how lucky you really are, just look at Jacob and Tim! If you want a bad ass podcast about crazy ass people, give this a listen because you won't regret it!

Yall Have to do one on Marquis de Sade!! Probably the worst dude in history, and you two could do his story justice. Or make us all regret it.... Either way!

Keep it up!! Yall are awesome!

Be careful.

Be careful on which episode you start with, some are wacky, some are informative, and some are down-right disgusting. But, all are entertaining.

Comedic Violence

Not for everyone, but it slaps like Rick Flare. nothing like laughing at things we probably shouldn't and somewhat learning things.

Absolutely Amazing

In a very roundabout manner, this podcast helped get me a gf. So cheers yall! Anywho, this dynamic duo of fat and artery-clogging humor is perfectly conducive to what I wish my life was. They're hilarious and tell stories about the best and worst in history. Their latest episode over the Hollywood shootout was super well done. I've been listening on and off for years now. These guys are a great comedic pair and dread the day they become successful and can no longer continue the show. Thanks for the amazing content ya'll produce. PS- Eric, yes you. It's your brother Derik. Thanks for showing me this show years ago.
