We have a first for you today, dear listeners. A story that starts with "god told me to do it," that doesn't end with a bunch of innocent people weeping. Desmond Doss was about as badass as a person can be without ever actually fighting. Credit where it's due, the guy stuck to his code and is responsible for saving a lot of people that would have otherwise died. And for getting Mel Gibson another solid movie that will justify his next antisemitic or blowjob jacuzzi rant. But I can live with that. Enjoy!

Today it's time for another hardcore pipe hitting motherfucker from the Civil War, William Tecumseh Sherman. He may have gotten off to a slower start than some of the other military badasses we've talked about, but he did go on to become Grant's number 2, and Georgia's daddy. This man made the whole state his bitch and they've never forgotten. Hell, it's still flaming in Atlanta to this day. Anyways, this episode was a lot of fun, so enjoy!

We have an interesting bit of scumnuttery for you today, dear listeners. Sure there are the usual parts of murder and mayhem and all that, but then everything else about this guy is pretty unique from his, well, let's call them peers. Also we may have finally found the one place in the world where the cops are actually competent. Who'd have thought it'd be fucking Rhode Island? Anyways, enjoy!

It's time to take a trip to the fairy tale land of hearts, stars and horseshoes, clovers and blue moons. And also an endless parade of broken rebellions. Nobody has failed to throw off the shackles of their oppression more than Ireland. Today we're gonna talk about an Irish dude that gave it his all to whip the English back in the 1600s, and had to fight a massive uphill battle against increasingly frustrating hurdles while doing so. Join us in chanting, "fuck the king," and enjoy!

It's been a minute since we went to the times before that Jesus fellow, so we decided today was the day. We're talking about Mithridates, sixth of his name, and apparently "the great." Why are we talking about him, you ask? Well this half-Greek, half-Persian bastard really pissed off the Romans, and we will always celebrate anybody who makes those dumb proto-guineas angry. Also there's plenty of badass and goofy moments. So enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, we have an interesting one for you today. We're talking about Nidal Hasan, and if that name didn't give away his Palestinian roots then his eyebrows should. Now I'm sure some of you will recognize that name, but the rest of you are gonna remember it after this for sure. Ol' Nidal decided to join up with the US Army, but his story branches off in a very different direction than the soldiers we've talked about up til now. Find out what that means by listening in, and enjoy!

In shocking news, we have another fun ass dude from the Revolutionary War that got skipped over by all my history teachers. Fuckin' public school. Israel Putnam went from uneducated farmer to one of the highest ranks of the Continental Army, and dude had nuts the size of cannonballs. How did he not get even a mention? Also he had a huge impact on the cigar industry almost by happenstance. Basically he's a goddamn hero. Anyway, enjoy!

Today we're talking about a true American badass, Cassius Marcellus Clay. No, not that one, just look at the picture. But if you want a guy that took no shit from anyone and oved knocking people out, then you have found the right man. Admittedly, there's some weirdness at the end...but everything before that was dope, so enjoy!

We're kicking this week off with a bang talking about one badass soldier named Fitzroy Maclean. Now, the British army is full of some of the worst names for just about everything. I mean, c'mon, knights of the garter? But they more than make up for it by bringing in all the baddest Irish and Scottish shitkickers they can find to shore up that inherent English weakness. Some of the things Fitzroy accomplished were truly remarkable. And the ways he did them even more so. This was a fun one, so enjoy!

We're closing out our last episode with Matt Cole before his desert departure with a fun, badass pirate for y'all, dear listeners. Anne Bonny had a pretty privileged upbringing, and could have had a real solid, but boring, regular life. She said, "fuck that, I want to hang out with scumbags and rob people." We approve. This made for one hell of a more interesting story as she pirated around doing whatever she wanted. Live fast, die fast, leave a beautiful corpse, baby. Enjoy!
