The true story about the man behind Speilberg's Schindler's List!! This week the boyz examines the rise of Mussolini, Hitler, and the rise of The Third Reich, before diving into the life and questionable beginnings of Oskar Schindler, the man who would one day save 1,200 Jews from the gas chambers. It's another heavy one this week, but this one has a happy ending that might just remind you that there is still good in the world.

Involuntary Celibacy. Sounds kind of frustrating right? Frustrating enough to kill though? Some incels seem to think so unfortunately. Online in subreddits and forums they lament over their inability to get laid or have meaningful relationships in general. In their eyes it's a matter of a few millimeters of bone and genetics that cause their never-ending isolation. Do you want to take the red pill?

The Boyz don their best tracksuits and head back to a time when the American Mafia reigned supreme in the Big Apple. Most people know who Roy Demeo is from Richard Kuklinski and Ray Liotta's portrayal of him in "The Iceman".The true story of Demeo is just as sinister as Liotta's version. Roy was a member of the Gambino crime family who led a crew of killers who became known as "The Murder Machine" due to their assembly line-like method of killing, dismemberment, and disposal of bodies. In this episode, we go back to the mafia's humble beginnings in Sicily, how it came to America and Roy's place in it. This is one you most definitely do NOT want to miss! So grab a cannoli and an espresso with sambuca and open ya fuckin ears for a mobbed-up edition of The Fritz Boyz Podcast!

We all have to start somewhere, right? SoundCloud gave these young artists a platform. A chance to propel themselves to the top through their music. At what cost though? Money, drugs, sex, and hot Cheetos. Our 30th freakin episode looks at the rise and fall of some of the most prominent SounClouders in the game. Enjoy!

Liberia is the product of America's brief and only foray into colonialism. In fact, it was a colony designated for America's freed slaves. The result is disheartening but very interesting. In short, the oppressed became the oppressors. The Americo-Liberians became the political elite of the new country and subjugated the native peoples until a man Samuel Doe came along and changed everything. Today, Liberia is a land full of poverty, but maybe the future will bring better things to the beautiful country of Liberia.

Crystal clear blue water, warm tropical temperatures, white sand beaches, and not a cell phone tower in sight. Who wouldn't want to vacation on North Sentinel Island? It's not a question of who wouldn't want to kick it there, it's who wouldn't want YOU there in the first place. The inhabitants of North Sentinel Island have been in voluntary isolation for generations. That unfortunately has not stopped people from trying to visit. For better or worse.

This week The Boyz are getting literary. Ernest Miller Hemingway is the topic; the good, the bad, and the ugly. We all read The Old Man and the Sea in school, but what do you really know about Hemingway? Did you know that he spent his 20s kicking around Paris with the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein? And did you know that he chased Nazi U-boats around the Caribbean during the Second World War? Or that he was most likely a spy for the OSS (the precursor to the CIA) and the KGB?! OR how about the fact that he was involved in two consecutive plane crashes? If you answered no to any of those questions grab a drink, light a candle, and press the play button. If you answered yes, hit that button anyway, so you can remember just why Hemingway left such a massive impact on the world.

The Boyz are back at it again! Talking about ways to get high without ending up in jail. This time around it's whippits, nutmeg, and benzedrex (propylhexedrine). According to Reddit and the Internet there's a "safe" way to go about it though (harm reduction). Can inhaling nitrous oxide or injecting a chemical found in inhalers really be safe in the long run? Why not press play and find out for yourself?

"A single death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic" - Joseph Stalin.

He would demonstrate just what he meant by this throughout his thirty-year career as the dictator of the USSR. Stalin ruled with an iron fist using things like manufactured famine, mass arrests, brutal state repression, and murder to secure his power and keep his terrified citizens loyal to the state. Through his tyranny, he transformed Russia from a backward monarchy into a superpower that we know today. Despite all of this, there was a time when Stalin was a nobody. So grab a hammer (or a sickle) and join us for this week's epic episode, and let us learn good Russian history, yah??
