Ep. 555 Hari Singh Nalwa
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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 motherfuckers, 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!

Ep. 554 Henry Morgan
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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 motherfucker, 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!

Ep. 553 Queen Boudica
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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!

Ep. 552 George Henry Thomas
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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 shit 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!

Ep. 550 Nannie Doss
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today's person of discussion is one evil bitch. Nannie Doss had a not great childhood, but that doesn't excuse the fact that she did a lot of heinous shit throughout her life without a shred of guilt. Not just that, but we also have a classic case of incompetence from the authorities that went on for years. No excuses, they fucked up baaaaaad. So get ready to hate this broad. Enjoy!

Ep. 549 Mariam Soulakiotis
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we're heading to Greece to talk about a woman who had some real hardcore nicknames, which were pretty well deserved because Mariam Soulakiotis did some real heinous shit. But don't worry, she's not to blame, obviously. She's just a regular ol' pious nun, and she'll tell you who was really responsible for all the torture and death. Just listen in and find out for yourself. Enjoy!

Ep. 548 Georgy Zhukov
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we return to the unforgiving desolate wasteland that is Russia to talk about the Soviet Union's greatest hero, with the medals to prove it, Georgy Zhukov. This dude gave his country everything, killed a ton of nazis, and did it while being a pretty damn stand up guy. In a sea of corruption and shitbags, this dude was an awesome shining light of decency. We're still gonna make jokes though, cmon, it's us. So check out a real dope story, and we even have some hilarious little factoids to go along with the badassery. Enjoy!

Ep. 547 Stephen Morin
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Oh boy are we bringing you some proper scum today, dear listeners. Stephen Morin may have started his life in Rhode Island, but he traveled all around the US getting into is shenanigans. And not the good, clean fun kind of shenanigans. The fucked up, horrendous kind. But on the plus side you get to hear Tim's impotent rage at this guy as more and more details come out in the story. So enjoy!

Ep. 546 Aurelian
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
It's time for us to go back in time to the days when the pasta eaters unfortunately ruled the world, the days of Rome. Aurelian was an alright dude though. Unless you were somebody that pissed him off. Then he was basically the devil given flesh. Dude did not fuck about when it came to people that wronged him. But he's got a great story, and we love to see people rise above their station. So enjoy!
info_outlineWell, dear listeners, we had a request from one of you to cover a woman who is truly evil. Of course, they didn't bother to do any research and just said, "make her evil!" Luckily another listener overheard what was being requested and said, "Oh, I have the perfect woman in mind." Thus Theresa Knorr enters the picture. A woman who does not quite understand what the word "family" means. Everyone should join us in hating her and her dumb bullfrog face. Strap in for this doozy of an episode, and enjoy!
