Consolation Episode: Ben Franklin Pre-Scum

2026/10/27

Howdy, dear listeners! Unfortunately, life got a bit fucky this week and a piece of broken equipment means we can't record. The piece is being replaced and we'll be good to go next week though. In the meantime, we decided to release a real fun episode from the Patreon to tide you over. I changed the original title though as, "Ben Franklin American F**k Machine" might be an issue for some platforms. But anyway, enjoy!

Ep. 636 Gabriel Wortman

2026/10/20

Welcome back dear listeners. Today we take a little journey up to Nova Scotia in Canada to talk about a man who wasn't content to just be a scummy denturist with a real s****y childhood. Oh no, Gabriel Wortman had to make his problems everybody else's problems too. And well, he did a pretty good job of f*****g things up for a bunch of people. Join us in hating on this guy, and enjoy!

Ep. 635 Robert Rosenthal

2026/10/13

Welcome to another fun trip to World War 2, dear listeners. Today it's to talk about Robert Rosenthal, a man who heard we were going to war with the nazis and decided, "As a Jew I want to do my part. I know, I need to get up in the air and drop some shit right on their dumb nazi heads." And then he did exactly that. Dude lived one hell of a life, enjoy!

Ep. 634 Breaker Morant

2026/10/06

We've got another Englishman for you today, dear listeners. But this one didn't stay in England. Oh no, Breaker Morant traveled far and wide to be a dick the world over. Or at least two other continents. Credit where it's due though, the guy had drip. The uniform is dope, which is how you know he did awful things. Ugly uniforms never hurt anybody. And boy can you not say that about Morant. Enjoy!

Ep. 633 Derrick Bird

2026/09/29

Welcome back, dear listeners! Today we're going to jolly old England to talk about Derrick Bird, a man who didn't really do anything exciting most of his life, and then one day woke up and boy did that change. It's a bit of an odd story that ends in a real big bang, so enjoy!

Ep. 632 Felipe Espinosa

2026/09/22

Welcome back, dear listeners. Today we're headed back to the ol' wild west. But we're not talking about your usual gunslinger/lawman/outlaw today. Felipe Espinosa was a whole different breed. A special kind of garbage monster. Or maybe a man avenging a whole heap of wrongs. Who knows? History has a funny way of painting the same person in different lights sometimes. But whether his cause was righteous or scumnutty, he did some real messed up stuff. Enjoy!

Ep. 631 Pedro de Valdivia

2026/09/15

It's time to go back in time to when Spain produced some real shit kickers. Of course, they were also garbage monsters as people. Like our boy today, Pedro de Valdivia, a man who found himself on the wrong side of history pretty much for his entire life. But man, this dude could kill. And he did pretty damn frequently. Also starring in today's episode, yet another Sabaton song. Ready to sponsor us oh European metal dudes? Anyway, join us on this journey and enjoy!

Ep. 630 Paul Denyer

2026/09/08

Today we'll be going "down under" to talk about this s****y Australian, Paul Denyer. He really is all red flags right from the beginning, and that just never changes. All pretty standard affair for his type of scum, but then outta nowhere he throws in some wrenches. Enjoy!

Ep. 629 Rube Burrow

2026/09/01

Today we've got a real fun old western dude who unfortunately got started in the game as the "wild" days were closing out and the law was ramping up. But boy did Rube Barrow make a go for it and make sure his name was remembered. Also, this episode is chock full of everyone's favorite type of incompetence, the law enforcement kind. If Rube's life were a movie, it would play Yakety Sax every time the law came after him. Enjoy!

Ep. 628 Frederick Burnaby

2026/08/25

It's time for another trip to jolly old England to talk about a dope ass fun loving son of a bitch. Frederick Burnaby was born with like, 7 silver spoons in his mouth, but despite that he wound up being cool as hell. Dude traveled hundreds of miles to spite the Russians, loved balloons, and knew how to take a joke. The common folk loved him, which is always a good sign, and his life was full of bonkers stories. Enjoy!

Ep. 627 Virginia Hall

2026/08/18

Welcome, welcome once again, dear listeners. Today we're talking about a badass broad who decided she wanted to do some stuff, and wasn't going to stop until she found a way to do it. She saw World War 2 going and was like, well, time to get busy. Virginia Hall was not somebody who let other people tell her no, and she made one of my least favorite people in history absolutely furious, making her one of my new most favorite people. Enjoy!

Ep. 626 Kazuo Taoka

2026/08/11

It's time for another trip to old Nippon, dear listeners. But this time we're talking about some Japanese stuff we haven't done yet, the Yakuza. Kazuo Taoka was known as "the Godfather of Godfathers," and looks the way he did, which is basically straight out of central casting for a Yakuza boss, so you know this m**********r made shit happen. And we get into it, and have a lot of fun talking about this bonkers time in Japanese history. Enjoy!

Ep. 625 Marcus Licinius Crassus

2026/08/04

Friends, Romans, lend me your ears! Or something like that anyway. Today we're headed back to good ol' proto Italy to talk about Marcus Licinius Crassus, a dude that did a lot of shit but wound up overshadowed anyways. Also, he was kind of a d******d so I don't feel too bad about it. It's a real fun story though with some famous cameos, so enjoy!

Ep. 624 Michael Morton

2026/07/28

Welcome dear listeners, to an episode that is going to create some emotions in you when you hear it, because, well, some b******t of the highest order goes down and our boy Michael Morton deserved none of it. He was just a simple family man when tragedy struck, and in life, well, people are sometimes extremely s****y. Enjoy!

Ep. 623 William Slim, 1st Viscount Slim of Yarralumla

2026/07/21

It's not often we get to say this, but this English dude was dope as hell! William Slim, Bill Slim if you're nasty, was a rare breed, an officer whose men absolutely loved him. He fought in multiple wars, on multiple continents, and kicked some major ass along the way. And when he saw other officers doing the wrong shit, he called them out on it. Hell of a guy. It wasn't just England that loved him either, but several former/current colonies. A man of the people. Enjoy!
