Ep. 576 Rickard Andersson (Guest: Matt Cole)
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we're joined by a familiar face, and voice, in the shape of Matt Cole, to talk about a real nice dude out of Sweden. Just an all around great guy. Just kidding, he's a piece of shit! But he had good taste, you'll see what I mean. Rickard Andersson is guilty of a pretty familiar crime, but with some notable differences. But still just as unforgivable, so he can fuck right off. But we still had fun making jokes about this scumbag's life. So enjoy!

Ep. 575 Vo Nguyen Giap
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we're gonna talk about our first Vietnamese person, and boy was he a solid choice to go first. Dude had a pretty tragic childhood with some notable trauma, but grew up to become a heavy hitter for his country. He was there for all the significant action his country saw against a whole slew of opposing countries, and beat them all. Sure, he was on the wrong side of a war with us and all, but credit where it's due, dude was good at what he did. Enjoy!

Ep. 574 Johannes Steinhoff
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Well hello there, dear smoothskins. Today we're talking about gross ass Fallout ghoul, and one of my least favorite types of people, a goddamn nazi. Johannes Steinhoff admittedly wasn't as bad as some people we've covered, but let's just say that when the thing happens that makes his face look like Tim's stomach post surgery, I didn't feel bad at all. Though his story does have some cool moments I guess. So enjoy!

Ep. 573 William the Conqueror
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
It's time for another trip back in time! This week we're talking about William the Conqueror. Or William the Bastard if you're nasty. This guy took a chaotic mess of a horrible childhood, and turned it into decades of being the biggest swinging dick in old timey France. Well, Normandy technically I guess, but same shit. Anyways, William was dope, so enjoy!

Ep. 572 Joseph Kony
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
People love to misuse the word "diabolical" these days, however we are headed to Uganda to talk about a man who absolutely deserves to be called it, and more. For those of y'all that remember 2012, enough said. For the rest of you, Kony founded the Lord's Resistance Army, a bunch of dudes who get together and commit war crimes together. A lot of events featuring this group include the word "massacre" in their title. Well, enjoy!

Some of you have been demanding more scum, well here you go, Steinke was a real piece of shit. Join us in making fun of every aspect of his shitty, shitty life. Enjoy!

Ep. 570 Simon Kenton
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we have a fun one for you, dear listeners. Simon Kenton lived one hell of a life, and played a significant role in developing certain parts of America way back in the early days. All thanks to a stupid misunderstanding as a teenager, he wound up becoming one of the most important and successful frontiersmen of his time. But for that one mistake, the history of the region may have turned out drastically different. Also, he's a top contender for best nickname. Enjoy!

Ep. 569 Alexios I Komnenos
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
We're going waaaay back today to talk about Alexios I Komnenos, who unlike recent old timey people we've covered, didn't really have a rags to riches story. This Greek asshole had more of a riches to yet more riches tale. Still a dope story though as this dude proves that you don't have to win every single battle, you just have to win the last one. Enjoy!

Ep. 568 "Dangerous Dan" Tucker
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we're doing something we haven't done in a while, heading out to the American wild west to talk about some cowboy shit. The cowboy in question today is "Dangerous Dan" Tucker, a man who lived a simple life, as a badass gunslinger. Was he any good? Well, let's just say his nickname might have been an understatement. He ranged all around Grant County, New Mexico putting in work wherever he was needed until such a time as nobody wanted to risk getting on his bad side anymore. Hell of a life. Enjoy!

Ep. 567 Baybars
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we're going way, way back to talk about a man with way too many names, so they just called him Baybars. A Muslim from the Crimean Peninsula, which means he probably looked like one of those Dagestani MMA guys. Makes sense because he was definitely not someone to fuck with. But people did it anyways. Repeatedly! And talk about rising the ranks. He got every possible promotion there was then just started dogwalking everyone he could find when there was no heights left to achieve. So enjoy!
info_outlineThis 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!
