    Ep. 608 Edgar Ray Killen
    Apr 7 2026

    Today we have a real unrepentant piece of shit for you, dear listeners. Edgar Ray Killen didn't have a single good bone in his stupid goddamn body. But he was there for an important bit of southern American history, and it was fun to just mock and insult the man care free, because nobody is defending this turd. Also it gave us an opportunity to make fun of a group of clownshoes that always deserve to be mocked. So it was still fun. Enjoy!

    Ep. 607 Andrew Jackson
    Mar 31 2026

    We've talked around this guy for a long time, now it's time to finally talk about Old Hickory himself. Everyone knows Andrew Jackson as America's 7th president, what they don't know is just how shitty a person he was. And also how bonkers his life was. The man never met a fight he didn't want. So of course he's perfect for us, and we had a lot of fun talking about him. Enjoy!

    Ep. 606 Menachem Begin
    Mar 24 2026

    Today we're following up Tim's nazi from last week with one of the Jews that they failed to get. Menachem Begin may have started his life as a simple boy in what is now Belarus, but man did he not stay there. He moved way up in the world and did some wild shit along the way. Some good, some bad, you decide how much stuff goes into each category. Oh, and prepare yourself, because, holy fuck, the names...Anyway, enjoy!

Randomly recommended by audible and now it's pretty much all I listen to at work.
2 large americans chat shit about historical scum bags and occasional heroes. This podcast is well researched and delivered although one is definitely more educated than the other! Thanks Tim & Jacob for all the laughs keep going.
check out Alexander "sawney" Bean, James Scott 1st Duke of Monmouth & Christopher Lee (surprised you haven't covered him already)

Fun & educational!

I absolutely loved hearing this one.. Coming from the uk, and hearing alot about Carlton..
I've never met him but he seems to be a very sound geezer, not a knob like pretty much the rest of them..

These two fine gentleman provide the detailed and hilarious stories behind the people from history that we should have but usually have never heard about. Suitable for all ages, races and mindsets and perfect for references in your essays, I've recommended it to all of my family and friends!
