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!

Ep. 176 Newton Knight

Today we'll be talking about the first guy from the South to show up on this podcast that wasn't super into slavery, Newton Knight. This dude, while admittedly kind of a simpleton based on the way he sounds in his quotes, was anti-Confederacy and managed to lead a whole splinter group of other like-minded swamp folk. They didn't do a whole lot of significant damage, but man did the rebel leadership hate them, and that's good enough for me. Also dude had some comedy gold in his quotes. Enjoy!

Ep. 178 Luke Short

It's been a while since we covered a fun wild west badass, so today we're bringing you Luke Short. Whose life is proof that everyone seemed to know each other back then as he ran around with some familiar names. And shot a few people who also knew people he knew. It's like a big old game of six degrees of separation but with gambling and guns. Also check out that top hat, dude was a classy ass gambling gunfighter.
