Ep. 177 Nathaniel Bar-Jonah

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

03/02/21 • 56 min

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!

Ep. 36 Godfrey of Bouillon

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/24/19 • 56 min

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!

Ep. 31 Xenophon of Athens

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/08/19 • 49 min

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!

Ep. 34 Shiro Ishii

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/17/19 • 52 min

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.

Ep. 33 Tecumseh

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/15/19 • 80 min

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!

Ep. 32 Francois Duvalier

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/10/19 • 48 min

If you've ever wanted a master class on how to never run a country, well this is the right episode for you. We're talking about an esteemed voodoo practitioner who answers the question, "how evil would Pol Pot in blackface be?" Also, why do all real life Bond villains make their bodyguards wear sunglasses all the time? The guns, torture, and murder is way more terrifying than whether or not I can see your pupils. Just do what you're good at, evil henchmen, and leave the fashion shit to the professionals.

Ep. 35 Anthony Wayne

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/22/19 • 53 min

Today we have a nice, wholesome American hero to give you a feel-good break after the king of plagues and weeping sores from the last episode. But have no fear, he lived a life of plentiful violence as a general in the Revolutionary War. He even earned himself the nickname of "Mad" Anthony Wayne. He also may have fucked over some of the Indians that knew Tecumseh but that's neither here nor there! And you may hear some familiar names between the glorious battles and nighttime bayonet charges, enjoy!

Ep. 30 Roman von Ungern-Sternberg

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/03/19 • 37 min

We're back for the second time this week with another Russian. This guy is the poster child for the bourgeoisie class that all the poor Russians hate and the rich Russians also hate but still tolerate. But he was one hell of a soldier and got into a mess of shit in his life. Also the dude was friends with the Mongolians. Seriously, listen in and enjoy his drunken Cossack shenanigans!

Ep. 29 Vyacheslav Ivankov

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/01/19 • 37 min

No you're not having a stroke reading the title of the episode, that's actually how this Russian dude spells his garbage Eastern Bloc name. This dude has some crazy political connections and more than his share of that fun violence you've come to expect with our show. We also talk about various Russian criminal tattoos in this episode. Tune in, learn about psycho Soviet things, and enjoy! And come back for more later this week as we will now be releasing episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

Ep. 37 Baldwin IV of Jerusalem

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

play

10/29/19 • 54 min

That's right, we're sticking around Jerusalem, just a few generations after Godfrey. We're talking about the most famous leper in the history of man. It would be the guy Jesus healed, but we stick to real stories on this podcast. This dude kicked a ton of ass until pieces started falling off him, then he kicked some more ass and hobbled his broke ass body back to Jerusalem and ruled over the holy land. Plus Edward Norton played him in a movie. Enjoy all the blasphemy and disease jokes you could want!
