Strap in, dear listeners, because we're going on a journey to the land of broken dreams, Hollywood, North Hollywood anyways. We're going to be talking about a particularly bad day to be in the area though, the day of the North Hollywood Shootout. Arguably one of the most significant events when it comes to shaping law enforcement in America, and overall just one bonkers ass day. Enjoy!

Today is gonna be a good day, dear listeners, because we have a dope ass broad to discuss. Julie d'Aubigny was famous for a few things, but she was notorious for two, fucking and fighting. And that's at a time when every French person was fucking and fighting, so it's pretty damn impressive. Her life is shrouded in a bit of "is it real or mythology" but to hell with it, all the stories are great so we're keeping 'em all in. Enjoy!

Now, I know we're all aware that Jews and Muslims are natural enemies, like cats and dogs, or people from Alabama and the ability to speak intelligently. But I gotta give credit where it's due, Khalid Ibn al-Walid was one bad motherfucker. This dude stomped all around the old timey world and made his presence known, while also remaining loyal and not getting too full of himself like most warlord types usually do. He put in work and had himself one bonkers life, and we had a lot of fun making fun of all of it. Enjoy!

Hello again, dear listeners! Today we'll be closing out the first week of the new year with a trip back to the 1700s, and a bit of a special for you, 2 for 1. You can't talk about just one of the Harpe brothers after all, since they went everywhere together and even crossed the scumnut stream. I'm pretty sure that means something. Anyways, these two vicious bastards got their start most likely from spite, then boy did they run with that and rack up some damage. Enjoy!

Happy new year, dear listeners! We decided to open up 2023 with a nice lighthearted episode. Just kidding, here's a fucking monster. Danny Rolling's life started off pretty awful, pretty quickly. And that's about how things stayed for the entirety of his life. And boy did he enjoy taking it out on other people. So strap in for another fun episode of scumnuttery. Enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, we've had a lot of fun talking about badass heroes, but it's time for a shift back to the scum side of things. Paul John Knowles is on the docket for today, and well, you know what three names means, he's a real piece of shit. But don't worry, he definitely had a good reason for the stuff he did. It's not like he just snapped over something stupid and decided to make a whole bunch of people suffer for it. No way. Anyways, enjoy!

That's right, dear listeners, you can tell by that episode title that we'll be messing up a lot of pronunciations today. Because we're headed to China to talk about Xiahou Dun, one bad motherfucker. A couple familiar faces pop up along the way, and they lend even more credence that our boy Dun was not someone you wanted to fight. And he was loyal to a fault. Dude always put his allies first and surrounded himself with the best of men. Respect. And enjoy!

Well dear listeners, it's time for a sentence I never thought I would ever say on this podcast. We're talking about the Korean navy and its biggest badass, Yi Sun-sin. Hell, this was the first time I learned they even had a navy. But our boy Yi Sun-sin has shown me the error of my ways, dude was fucking awesome. He didn't start in the sea, but once he arrived he took to it, well, like a fish to water, and was goddamn unstoppable. Enjoy!

Today we'll be taking a trip to one of the many countries that god forgot, Nicaragua.  And once there we're gonna talk about Augusto Cesar Sandino. Augusto was a badass dude that just wanted to see his country free, so he started putting in work even when he was being dismissed as a non-entity. The results were a huge impact on the historical landscape, and one hell of a legacy. Enjoy!

Today we're talking about an OG soldier of fortune, Bob Denard. This French mercenary has never once seen an African country he didn't want to invade and/or overthrow. But don't worry, he totally did it for the right reasons. He wanted money and he really hated communism. Perfectly reasonable right? Also this dude was the Tom Brady of coups, because he didn't know when it was time to just retire. Enjoy!
