Today we're bringing you a French, and maybe Jewish, pirate who got into all sorts of shenanigans down in the Gulf of Mexico. Jean Lafitte was crazy successful at what he did, and all without being nearly as brutal as other successful pirates. In fact, he was actually a pretty good dude, with a patriotic side that led to him taking a break from piracy to play a significant role in a pretty huge moment in American history. Enjoy!

Today we're bringing you a man who left the frozen wasteland of Canada for greener pastures, America. Then after all those years of enjoying our sweet, sweet freedoms, he decided it was time to give back. He didn't care what Jane Fonda said, he got balls deep in the Vietnam War. Then he decided it wasn't enough to be one of the biggest, baddest swinging dicks in the country. He became a goddamn war hero, and he did it on hard mode. Listen in to find out what that means. Enjoy!

That's right, dear listeners, you read that name right. We're talking about an Italian today. Rodolfo Graziani was a real piece of shit. His story starts off so normal too. Then suddenly it's all, "Oops, war crimes. My bad." And good news, the guy who loved genocide was constantly given positions of power, so everything worked out just peachy. Enjoy!

Another day, another garbage monster for you, dear listeners. Today we're talking about Samuel Little, AKA a nickname that I don't want to spoil because it's glorious. He's the kind of guy that woke up each day thinking, "I like killing people here, but I also want to kill them way over there in that other state." So he did! A real go-getter and jet setter, this one. Enjoy! (Addendum, not the Grim Sleeper, my bad)

We have a fun one for you today, dear listeners. Matt Cole joins us on a trip to the land of mediocre furniture and tasty meatballs, Sweden. We're talking about Clark Olofsson, a man renowned for his charm, charisma, and hatred for staying inside a prison. It seems like all this guy did was get sent to prison, escape, repeat. With plenty of shootings and robberies in between. Enjoy!

It's time for another trip to the great white north, dear listeners. Today we're talking about something Canadians do almost as well as us here in America, fucked up bikers. Wayne Kellestine is not what you would call, a good person. But what he lacks in decency, he more than makes up for with hurting people. Wait, that's not better. Ok, he's a giant piece of shit. Anyways, enjoy!

Well, dear listeners. You asked for him, and now you got him. Christopher Dorner lived a pretty simple life, then became a champion of the people. Or a psychopath. Really depends on how you feel about the police I suppose. But either way, it's undeniable that he became an internet sensation given that he spawned a ton of memes and quotes, and a couple of them were actually decent. Also, best manifesto. Hands down. As always, enjoy!

Another entry in the book of Eastern European garbage names for you today, dear listeners. Our man of the hour, Jozef Rohac, has lived one hell of a life. And man does his story veer off into a direction I did not expect it to go when we starting out, but it is a pretty great story. Also, there should be some accent marks or whatever in that name, but I refuse to respect whatever terrible language it is that uses them. Anyways, enjoy!

Today we make a return to Australia to talk about a group we've overlooked a bit, the aborigines. Specifically Jimmy Governor. He tried to make the best of his life, but was often the subject of mockery and mistreatment due to his aborigineness, or whatever you'd call it. Now I don't want to give away the end, but that mistreatment does come back to bite some people in the ass. Enjoy!

We're closing out the week with a good old fashioned cowboy story for you, dear listeners. We're talking about Sam Bass, an outlaw who admittedly was almost more legend than man. In fact, his reputation was so hyped up that influenced the actions of the lawmen tracking him down. And his story crossed the Atlantic at a time when people got all their news from some guy on a horse. But now we have the internet, so you can kick back and enjoy!
