Ep. 564 Randy Kraft
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we're talking about a mustache only a mother could love, Randy Kraft. Now, old Randy here is one sick motherfucker. He was the last of the Freeway Killer(s) down here in California, and I would argue, the most brutal. So get ready for some real haunting shit and gross details. Enjoy!

Ep. 563 Sanada Yukimura
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Alright weebs, this episode is for you. Because if you can't tell by the name or picture of this episode, we're headed back to old timey Japan. Where the samurai were plentiful and life was cheap. Our boy here, Sanada Yukimura was a bad motherfucker, but he was also bad at choosing who to fight for. Dude was like your degenerate gambler uncle, just could not back a winning horse no matter what. But unlike your uncle, he actually pulled off his ponytail, and he was badass the whole time. "It's a topknot." Fuck you, it's a ponytail. Just higher on the skull. Anyway, enjoy!

Ep. 562 John Connolly
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Today we're headed to Boston, the home of Larry Bird, the Boondock Saints, and the only racists that can't pronounce a hard R. But we're not here for them, we're here for John Connolly. A classic case of corruption and ineptitude, and as always, a dumb nickname makes an appearance. You'll even hear the names of some future episodes as we make fun of all the aspects of this dummy's life. Enjoy!

Ep. 561 Jim Bowie
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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!

Ep. 559 James Douglas, Lord of Douglas
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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!

Ep. 558 "Mad" Harry Murray
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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 fuck. 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!

Ep. 557 John Riley
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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!

Ep. 556 Lester Brockelhurst
Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
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!

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!
info_outlineIt'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!
