Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

Today we'll be talking about a horrendously gross man, in pretty much very possible meaning. I don't want to give away everything about Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, but I will say that there was a lot of strangulation. And where he went, children disappeared, and meals were made. And he looks like exactly the kind of person to do all the fucked up shit that he did. Turns out, sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. And this book cover is smeared in well, a lot of things you don't want to touch. But enjoy!

Did you enjoy your break from historical monsters with our Tuesday dose of decent person? Well, time to dive back into the dickery with this medieval crusader/17,000th dude that hated the Jews. He was legitimately a pretty good general/leader, aside from the whole antisemitism and hating Muslims thing. But hey, you find me one European in this time period that didn't hate non-Christians, and I'll call you a liar because that person didn't exist! Anyways, enjoy the ride because it's still a great story!

We're kicking off the stories this week with the prodigal son (student) of Socrates. The one your philosophy teachers don't want you to know about! Or you just didn't listen when they talked about him because philosophy is goddamn boring. Anyway. Whatever the case, you missed out on some awesome shit. This dude wandered the desert and then stabbed everything he found. Mostly other people. And he had some weird quotes about horses (don't worry, we didn't include those). Tune in and enjoy the prequel to 300!

There's this long held belief that it's hard to classify someone as objectively evil. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter and all that. Well, in this case it's pretty easy, Shiro Ishii is evil as fuck. I'd call him a real life Bond villain, but he makes Bond villains look like a pack of sissies. Tune in and find out how many war crimes one man can commit! And how the hosts feel about sweet, sweet opiates.

We have a nice little coincidence for you, dear listeners, as yesterday was Columbus Day and today we are bringing you the story of Tecumseh, Native American leader/warrior who for some reason wanted to live in Ohio. You can probably guess America doesn't come out of this looking so great, but the British also look like shit too so I'll call it a wash. So listen in and hear all about a man that our garbage public school system decided not to teach us about. And learn a fun little political campaign rhyme!
