Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast
Welcome back, dear listeners! We're sticking to a more recent time to talk about modern day hero, Michael P. Murphy. After a suspiciously wholesome and uneventful upbringing, you'd think something horrible was coming down the pipeline, instead he serves his country and keeps going what he thinks is right. Just an all around solid dude. Don't worry though, we still make our jokes. Enjoy!

Welcome back, dear listeners, and allow us to take you on a trip to the American Civil War to talk about George B. McClellan. Boy did he fucking suck. He wasn't some horrific nightmare person, or a real sociopathic scumbag or anything, but just man, he was a douche. So of course we make fun of him extensively and without mercy. This was a fun one, and gave a lot of insight into just how bad the North was fighting the war pre-Grant (that episode available everywhere expect Spotify, still, sorry). Anyway, enjoy!

"I bet they're gonna have a total monster since it's Halloween time." Well, kinda! Abu Musab al-Zarwawi isn't your traditional serial killer slasher type monster, but boy was he a huge piece of shit with a much more impressive kill count. He had ties to some of the worst people on the planet, and was responsible for a hell of a lot of carnage, death, and sadness from his own actions and the orders he gave to his followers. Some bits of his story may sound familiar, now you get to tie a face and name to the events. Enjoy!

Today we're going back a few years to talk about the most British man in the world. If you asked AI to design you an English noble, Arthur Wellesley is exactly who you would get back. Which makes you want to hate him. Then he does some stuff that makes you want to hate him more. Then he does some really dope shit and you don't know what to think anymore. So join us in the confusion, and enjoy!

Just some good clean fun for y'all today, dear listeners! We're talking about one of the OG pipe hitting motherfuckers, Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko. This dude put in some serious goddamn work in Vietnam. However, the truly fascinating stuff about him happened after his time in the jungle. He was a controversial figure, but we love him. Enjoy!

Good news, dear listeners! Today's episode is fun as hell. Peter J Ortiz was a dope ass dude with a crazy life story, and it's all just good fun. No other shoe dropping or surprise bullshittery ahead. Don't worry, still plenty of bonkersness and jokes aplenty as we tell his story though. So kick back on this fine Tuesday, and enjoy!

Today we have a fun one for you, dear listeners. We're talking about a dude who was raised Mormon, and then decided "hey, fuck the Mormons," and decided to make all his money off fucking with them. And Mark Hofmann was pretty damn good at it. Then some stuff happened that was kinda not cool. You'll see what I mean, I don't wanna spoil it. Enjoy!

Today we're bringing you a fun episode, dear listeners. No horrific acts against mankind, or people of, at best, questionable morals. Just a man and his rifle taking on nature. The way Artemis intended. I assume, I didn't study her stuff much since she was always one of the less interesting gods. But I digress, our dude today Jim Corbett is great and you can safely kick back and just take in the fun story of his life. Enjoy!

Welcome back dear listeners, to another trip down olde (modern) Mexico way to talk about one of the heavy hitters for the Los Zetas. Our guy today, Heriberto Lazcano did not fuck about when he was running things. Not only was he incredibly violent, he was a pioneer of brutality, and boy did a lot of people suffer when this dude had power. Enjoy!

Adam Lanza, oh boy, what can I say about this garbage monster except, fuck him and everything about him. Dude was a coward and targeted the weakest and most vulnerable of people to commit his atrocities against. My only regret is he didn't live to go to prison and get treated appropriately. But try to find some enjoyment in the jokes we make throughout the episode, and enjoy!
