Welcome to the last episode of 2021, dear listeners. We have another man with three names for you, which historically means prepare for awfulness. But this one is blessedly free of any of that, he's just a plain and simple badass. I mean, sure he kind of fought for some bad people, but he did a lot of badass stuff and didn't really do anything shitty on his end, so we can forgive him. Enjoy, and happy new year!

Today we're talking about another Joseph, but this one was dope as hell. He found probably the bonkerest way to deal with all the stress leading up to Operation Market Garden during World War 2, then had to deal with that whole cluster fuck of a battle. But then he got to take a nice tour of the European countryside before making his way back to England. Enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, (one of) you asked for it, so you got it. Today's episode is Josef Fritzl and well, he is a monster of a piece of shit. His story has quite a few twists and turns along the way and around every corner is another nightmare. He also takes the grand prize for scumbaggiest way to defend his crimes that I've ever heard. Also, he should definitely get whatever the opposite of a #1 Dad mug is. Enjoy!

Today we have a real treat for you, dear listeners. A real pipe hitting badass named Rick Rescorla, and the only person in history nicknamed "Hardcore" and they weren't a putz. Aside from Hardcore Holly, may his career rest in peace. Anyways, this dude was awesome and while he kept taking work where he was kinda fighting for a bad cause, he left when he realized how shitty it was. Also, you for sure won't see where his story is gonna end up, I know I fucking didn't. Enjoy!

Welcome back, dear listeners. We continue this week of charming individuals with Ken McElroy, a man beloved in his community. Nah, just kidding, he's a giant piece of shit just like the last guy was and everyone hated him. Turns out, years of stealing, beatings, and threats does not make people want to be your friend. Ken answers the question of, "what if a high school bully never got the ass kicking he deserved that would also fix him, then grew up?" Anyways, enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, we have a real garbage monster for you today. Charles Rodman Campbell (three names is always a bad sign) was what is referred to as a revenge killer, but man does his reason for wanting revenge suck. This episode also features one of the most egregious failings by the criminal justice system we've ever covered, but it isn't the cops being incompetent this time at least. So strap in, and enjoy the ride!

Today we bring you a man you will happily root against as we tell you his story. Robert Jay Mathews may not have been a good person by any metric, but what he lacked in that department he more than made up for in crazy. When he had successfully recruited some likeminded crazies to his cause, he took to the rural area of the Pacific Northwest to start pursuing his plan of kicking off a race war, you know, like a normal person would do. I don't want to spoil anything, but you won't hate the ending. Enjoy!

Today we're covering renowned Indian fighter, Samuel Brady. I'm not saying the Brady family hated Native Americans, but the back and forth between the two groups made the Hatfields and McCoys look like a petty squabble. There's a lot of fun in this episode: scalping, great escapes, and the most unique use of a campfire I've heard before. Enjoy!

It's time for another trip to Japan, dear listeners. This time we're going to be talking about notable crazy person, Sada Abe, who answers the question, "What happens when the dick is TOO good?" Horror. That's what happens. But her exploits made her a bit of a celebrity/nightmare in Japan, to such an extent that Asa Akira played her in a porno. So strap in and listen to how bad the Japanese justice system failed, and enjoy!

Today we're talking about badass Filipina, Nieves Fernandez. When the Japanese showed up in the Philippines during WW2 and started taking over and doing all their evil shit, she took the quote, "Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats," to heart and took a break from teaching to do exactly that. Armed with a bolo machete, and homemade guns and grenades, she made the Japanese pay in blood for their invasion. Enjoy!
