Today we're talking about another guy who does exactly the kind of stuff you'd assume when you see what his face looks like. John Christie had a real shitty childhood, with plenty of weirdness to go along with the awful. So of course he does the natural thing, takes it out on a bunch of women. Post mortem too. I'm sure you can figure out what that means, and if not, it'll get explained, don't worry. Enjoy!

The week of darkness continues, dear listeners. You've been asking for scum, so we're bringing you the scum. We're talking about Robert Bales today, and if you can see the picture for this episode, you can tell from those haunted, dead eyes that he's gonna do something horrible by the end of the story. Some familiar names even pop up along the way too. Get ready for some tragedy, and enjoy!

Welcome, dear listeners! We're gonna get weird today. You've been requesting him for a minute now, so we're headed back to ye olde Roman times to talk about one of the bonkersest emperors they ever had, Caligula. To say that he was a colossal piece of shit is to undersell both the words "colossal" and "shit." But man, he did some hilarious stuff while setting the bar for garbage leaders throughout history. Enjoy!

Today we're headed to America's heartland, the midwest. AKA, the fattest and most boring part. But while Verne Miller, the man we'll be talking about, managed to do a metric shit ton of different things in his life, he was neither fat nor boring. He treated real life like a Fallout game, just jumped from side quest to side quest, occasionally did a main quest, then murdered whoever he felt like. And along the way he connected with some real famous, and equally dangerous, people. He lived fast, but he definitely didn't leave a beautiful corpse. Anyway, enjoy!

On this episode we'll be talking about why you should never trust anyone in the medical field. Amy Archer-Gilligan and Harold Shipman took on different kind of patients, but they both came to the same conclusion, "these bodies don't have enough poison in them." Which is pretty shoddy medical work if I'm being honest. It doesn't take a whole PHD to figure that out. And if you've been disappointed by the competent police work recently, don't worry, that gets corrected in this episode. Enjoy!

We got another Polack for you today, dear listeners, Richard Kuklinski. This one may be familiar to you though. While most of the Polish people in history have been the victims of evil, this one decided instead to lean into the evil and become a big ol' piece of shit. In so very, many ways. And we're gonna talk about 'em. So strap yourself in for the ride, and enjoy!

We got another interesting one for you today, dear listeners. Mathew Charles Lamb is one confusing ass dude. His life starts off going pretty crazy in one direction, then outta nowhere it goes bonkers in a completely unexpected new direction. It's like somebody writing their first novel and they have no clue what they want their protagonist to do, or what they want the setting or theme to be. But boy does he deliver on the violence. So enjoy!

Today we have two young men that just wanted one thing in life, to shoot down the Japanese. George Welch and Kenneth Taylor definitely got their wish, and were even dressed up for the occasion. They're also proof that not everyone can be as good as we are at telling badass stories about real life pipe hitting motherfuckers. Sometimes people will take that story, millions of dollars, and two OK actors and make a movie so bad that even The New Guy makes fun of it. Oh well, enjoy!

Today we're talking about a man who believed the future was in anarchy. But rather than just buy some overpriced wristbands at a Hot Topic and blog about how nobody understands him like all these modern day "anarchists," this dude went all over Russia and Ukraine dick punching any Tsarists or Bolsheviks that got in his way. And he made damn sure they were in his way, because this man loved dick punching almost as much as anarchy. Enjoy!

We're keeping the "guys who have been in movies" theme going this week and talking about Herbert Blitzstein. A different kind of nightmare than we usually cover, this Chicago Outfit goon was a Jew that acted more guinea than most Italians. A truly horrifying monster. But it definitely led to an interesting life. And it's been a while since we covered a goomba so here ya go, scumlings. Enjoy!
