Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

Today we're going to talk about Prince Rupert of the Rhine. A pretty innocuous sounding name, for a dude that wound up being one of the most badass cavalrymen of his time. Also, he had a poodle and a monkey, and you just KNOW that crazy bastard taught the monkey how to ride the poodle into battle. Sure, there are zero sources saying it, but history is like jazz, it's all about the stuff they don't...

William Alexander Morgan lived a pretty bonkers ass life, and one day while chilling in Miami he looked out across the water and saw an island, and decided that island needed some goddamn freedom, and that he was the man to bring it to them. Sure, looking back on it now we can say that was a real bad idea and he supported the wrong dude, but still a dope ass story. Enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, we have another awful garbage monster for you today. Frank Spisak had a lot of things going on, and they were all pretty awful. Luckily he wasn't that good at what he did so he got caught pretty quickly. But there's still something for everybody in this episode. Murder, cross dressing, Nazi shit, and some great attorney quotes. Enjoy!

Well, where do I start with this one. Ian Brady was a real gigantic piece of shit, and I don't make that claim lightly. I mean, you know a person is trash when being a Nazi isn't even in their top 5 worst traits. But you know how we do here at LTF, so we had a lot of fun making fun of this loser of a serial killer. Tune in and enjoy!

Alright you bloodthirsty monsters, you asked for him and now you're getting him. Today we're talking about garbage person and even worse musician, Varg Vikernes. A man so dedicated to racism he made his own version of D&D where instead of dungeons, it's racism and instead of dragons, it's even more racism. He also kinda sorta murdered a dude and destroyed some artifacts. Anyways, enjoy!

Today we're talking about a man shrouded in myth and legend, which is pretty unnecessary since the dude was a fucking badass for real. So why make up extra shit? I dunno, people are weird and stupid sometimes. Anyways, this psycho mountain lived like 4 peoples' lives worth during his time on Earth, and left behind a bit of an odd legacy years later. Enjoy!

It's time for another batshit biker, dear listeners! Though George Rowe is a bit different than the run of the mill, as you shall soon find out. The early parts are definitely par for course though. Shitty childhood, violence, drugs, racism. Then it gets a bit weird, but you'll probably find yourself rooting for him. So strap in, and enjoy!

Today we're covering one of the rarest of scumnut pursuers, a South Korean serial killer. Yoo Young-Chul put in some serious work once he realized how much he loved killing. But boy did he wind up with one of the worst nicknames we've ever seen for a serial killer. It was also nice after all the times we've seen American cop incompetence to see somebody else fucking up. Enjoy!

We're closing out anniversary week strong for you, dear listeners, with one of the most famous Americans who ever lived. Teddy motherfucking Roosevelt. A man who accomplished a ton in his life, especially considering how weak and fragile he was as a child. Not only did he do a bunch of badass, crazy shit, he also said some things that became famous quotes. Like, "speak slowly and have a big dick"...

Welcome to anniversary week, dear listeners! It's been 3 whole years since the start of this podcast, and we're starting the week off with an episode that people have been waiting a while for, England's very own Kray twins. Reggie and Ronnie Kray lived bonkers lives and rose to a level of success and infamy that most gangsters can only dream of. Of course, sometimes things don't last. Enjoy!

Today we have a man that I severely underestimated when it came to level of psychoticness. This dude brought a level of violence to wrestling that is frankly impressive, and the quotes. My god, the quotes. Everything that came out of his mouth was gold and he had no qualms saying exactly how he felt about any given thing. So get ready for a bonkers dude, and enjoy!

Today we have a military guy that you're going to have a pretty tough time rooting for (I hope). Since even though he was an incredibly badass pilot, he was also a literal goddamn Nazi. Sure, maybe he had his doubts or felt bad every once in a while, but still kinda fuck him. But it means you can laugh at all the jokes at his expense guilt free, so enjoy!

Today we're closing out the week with another visit from an increasingly drunk Matt Cole to talk about Henry Rathbone. An old timey man from the 1800s who had a pretty interesting life in his own right, but what made him famous was simply being around when another dude got blasted to death. Of course, the story doesn't end there. Enjoy!

Background noise Matt Cole joins us again today to talk about a real fun piece of Ukrainian trash, Serhiy Tkach. Over the course of his life Serhiy got to play both sides of the law. First as a cop and then, well, you'll see. Toss in a couple fun twists and turns along the way, and you got yourself a whole scumnut good time. Enjoy!

Today we may have our worst named person that we've ever covered, Buford Pusser. A man so renowned for stomping out crime in his Tennessee county that they made several movies about it. But that name though...So try and stifle your laughter long enough to enjoy the ride, cuz it's pretty bonkers. Enjoy!

Today we have another fun doofus in the sports world, Bob Probert. A man who loved fighting, cocaine, and hockey. Probably in that order too. He lived one hell of a life and man is it a fun story. Also stick around for the outro to hear Tim become a sloppy, drunk mess. Because we're professionals here at the Let Them Fight Podcast. Enjoy!

Today we have another Englishman for you, dear listeners. This time it's one of the limey pricks we kicked out of America during the Revolutionary War. 'Murica! Oh he did his damnedest to win the war, and he pulled some real douche moves along the way. He's also the inspiration for somebody that may surprise you, or not, who knows? Enjoy!

Today we have quite the interesting story. Nicky Crane may have started out as just a simple violent, street level, racist asshole, but he built up a reputation that spanned at least London. And not only amongst his fellow violent racist assholes, but with a group that may surprise you. So strap in, 'cuz it's gonna get weird. Enjoy!

Today we'll be going to the oft forgotten land of Tasmania, after a very short stop in Ireland. And we'll be talking about Alexander Pearce, a real bad criminal who was sent to the island for stealing shoes, the horror. And once there he managed to escape from an unescapable prison colony, twice! Well, kinda. There's more to the stories, so strap in, and enjoy!

Today we have some good, clean, eastern European fun for you, dear listeners. Jan Zizka was one badass Czechoslovakian. Which isn't a sentence I ever thought I'd be saying, but there it is since he revolutionized medieval warfare. And while the whole "he never lost a battle" rumor about him was bullshit, he won more than he should and minimized casualties in his losses with great tactics. Enjoy!

Well, dear listeners, we have another garbage monster for you today. Patrick Kearney is proof that you can be a sickly near-midget and still put up respectable numbers. Of course, you gotta be a bit sneaky and plan things out, but the proof is there. So get ready for this dude's particular brand of awful, and enjoy!

Today we have another badass motherfucker for you, dear listeners. Vernon Baker overcame a whole grip of racism to get an opportunity to fight in World War 2. When he got that opportunity he damn well took advantage of it and went balls deep into northern Italy to kick Nazi dicks into the dirt. Enjoy!

Stefanie Michele joins us again today to talk about one of Jacob's favorite topics, bikers. Specifically Lorne Campbell who lived one hell of a life and had no qualms including the bad stories along with the good when he talked about his life. Some familiar faces from past episodes also pop up. Enjoy!

Today we're joined by friend of the show, Stefanie Michele, to tell her all about notable garbage person Seung-Hui Cho. After years of people around him ignoring red flags, upsetting behavior, and the worst goddamn poetry in the world, he went on to get the world's worst high score. Enjoy!

Today's person of interest is John List, a real creepy looking bastard. Which is appropriate because he was a real creepy bastard. A pretty smart dude, but so very, very creepy. He's also another cautionary tale for what can happen when you give somebody a garbage childhood and super strict ingrained religious beliefs. Enjoy!
