- 56 - Henry Paget, live above your means, marry a blood relative, YOLO
Henry Paget was the Earl of Uxbridge between 1880 and 1898, notable during his short life for squandering his inheritance on a lavish social life and accumulating massive debts. Ridiculous debt....like how could you?
17 min - 55 - Mad Jack Churchill, stormin beaches with the bagpipe!
The boys are back from Christmas and talking about Mad Jack Churchill. Churchill gained his fame for his various escapades during WW2. Jack was a Commando....his weapons of choice, the longbow, the broadsword....and the bagpipe......in WW2...against machine-gun fire. Mild spoiler, he's nuts.
22 min - 54 - The Norco Shootout, 101 bank heists with 0 prep and you!
This week the gang look at the Norco shootout and arguably the start of police militarisation in US.....Also some Storm-trooper levels of shooting, its just plain woeful.
30 min - 53 - La Pasqualita the Corpse Bride
This week Tamara joins Ben and Kayle to discuss the corpse bride of Chihuahua Mexico. For 80 odd years she has graced the window of a bridal store in the town. Is she real or just fake news?
18 min - 52 - Richard Brittain, The Countdown Champ
This week we check out Richard Brittain and how to not treat women! No really, he's awful.
52 min - 51 - Nolan Bushnell, The Atari Kid

47 min - 50 - John Hines, WW1's souvenir king
This week we look at John Hines, Australian soldier and all round one man army. Throughout the Great War he was know for his bravery and unflinching will in the face of insurmountable odds....Also for looting, heavy drinking and disregarding orders...so you know, standard mixed nuts stuff.
23 min - 49 - The Great Balloons Disaster of 86
"Alright Gang, Disney released a million balloons as a stunt, got them in the Guinness Book of Records....the environmental disaster that followed?....Oh don't worry about that...Anyway, what if we beat their record? What if we released 2 million balloons?!?!?!"
27 min - 48 - Kiwami Kilpatrick, fast times at the Manoogian Mansion
Kiwami Kilpatrick was the youngest serving Mayor of Detroit. He was also one of the worst! Millions in tax fraud, sex scandals and parties on the city dime. Come see how it all fell apart.
32 min - 47 - Rajneesh and the free-love terrorists
This week the lads look at Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his free-love movement that took America by storm. Using his influence and power over his followers, Rajneesh headed a strange and violent sex cult in the US. At its peak the community was more like a small city, from which their violence could spill into the surrounding towns.
