Episodes
Ep. 68 Benjamin Butler
February 13, 2020 09:34 - 56 minutes - 43.3 MBAnother fun episode about a Civil War officer for you today, dear listeners. This time it's Benjamin Butler. A man who basically incompetenced his way to victory. He did some hilarious stuff while lording over New Orleans, and I enjoyed his spite. Then he decided to throw Jews under a bus that wasn't there for some reason. So kinda fuck this guy too. The only thing more bountiful than his failings as a soldier was the well of his pettiness, and I gotta respect that. Enjoy this conflicting ba...
Ep. 67 Nat Turner
February 11, 2020 09:02 - 58 minutes - 43.8 MBWell hello there, dear listeners. I'm sure some of you went to public school in America, which means you know the name Nat Turner and that's pretty much it. He kicked off the largest slave rebellion in the Antebellum South, and before that he was well honestly, kind of a crazy person. But all the fun people are! Dude inspired a lot of people, some in bad ways but some in good, and he's still talked about today because his actions had a huge impact on the South up to and after the Civil War. ...
Ep. 66 Shaka Zulu
February 06, 2020 08:59 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBWelcome back, dear listeners. Join us today as we travel deep into the heart of South Africa to talk about Shaka Zulu. A warrior and leader so ferocious it sent ripples across Africa that affected the entire continent. He came from humble beginnings and quickly rose to power, changing nearly every aspect of African culture in his region. And holy shit did he kill/cause the death of a ton of people. He kinda went a little overboard near the end, you'll see what I mean. Enjoy!
Ep. 65 Jake McNiece
February 04, 2020 07:35 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBWe return to one of our favorite time periods on this podcast, World War 2. And we're talking about a real hard charging, dick swinging soldier named Jake McNiece, a paratrooper in the Filthy Thirteen. This dude made four wartime jumps and tore through any Nazis in his way. And when he wasn't doing that he was tearing through a veritable smorgasbord of hookers in various red light districts in a very different, but equally impressive, way. Then lived til his 90s because even death was scared...
Ep. 64 Jose Manuel Martinez
January 30, 2020 08:30 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBBoy do we have another fun one for you today, dear listeners. On today's episode we're talking about lovable psychopath, Jose Manuel Martinez. He loved three things in life: murdering people, taking care of his family, and murdering people. You may notice I said murder twice, and that's because he really, really loves murdering people. Almost as much as he hates Tulare county cops. All the shootings you can handle, creepy prison love letters, and hilarious quotes abound. Enjoy!
Ep. 63 Roy Benavidez
January 28, 2020 08:58 - 37 minutes - 29.5 MBDo you remember that time you stubbed your toe and were basically incapacitated for the next 15 minutes? You are going to feel like a gigantic pansy about that after this episode. The amount of damage that Roy Benavidez sustained in Vietnam while still fighting the whole time is truly mind boggling. In one battle alone he was wounded so many times he got multiple Purple Hearts for it. And he kicked ass the whole time! My best guess is that death was just afraid to take him. Enjoy his bonkers...
Ep. 62 Pedro Rodrigues Filho
January 23, 2020 14:55 - 46 minutes - 35.4 MBA question for you, dear listeners. What do you get when you combine the Boondock Saints with the Punisher and drop them into the worst parts of Brazil? You get Pedro Rodrigues Filho. Holy shit did this guy kill a lot of people, who all deserved it I might add. And man did he have some daddy issues. His childhood reads like the backstory of the world's saddest stripper. But Pedro lived an insane life, took advantage of a weird Brazilian loophole, and now he gets to just chill and make YouTub...
Ep. 61 Simon Girty
January 21, 2020 04:00 - 59 minutes - 44.3 MBWe're back with another fan suggested person, because as soon as we heard the name White Savage we knew it was going to be great. Now, old Simon Girty isn't exactly what Americans would call a hero, but you should be able to figure out why he didn't see eye to eye with the Continental Army and preferred to roll with the Brits and Natives. Look out for some familiar names as you listen to the story of childhood trauma, scalpings, and powder burny mayhem!
Ep. 60 Tom Horn Jr.
January 16, 2020 10:06 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBYou are in for a fun episode today, dear listeners! We are going back to the wild west to talk about notorious murderer, Tom Horn Jr. He was never known as a gunfighter, but nonetheless killed a whole bunch of people, and made a good amount of money doing it too! Then it all came to a pretty tragic end after the shammiest of sham trials in the kangarooist of kangaroo courts. As an added treat we have an account of his last day alive, which was pretty sweet to find and I hope you enjoy it lik...
Ep. 59 John Paul Jones
January 14, 2020 09:14 - 59 minutes - 46 MBToday we go back to the high seas, dear listeners! With this Scottish dude who was out kicking ass, dropping cliche movie quotes, and walking the fine line between naval officer and pirate. Also it needs to be said, the United Kingdoms are officially the worst at naming things and need to have that power taken away from them expeditiously! I've always wanted to use that word, shout out to T.I. Anyways, dude lived a badass life, and then had the world's worst legal defense that actually worke...
Ep. 58 Yemelyan Pugachev
January 09, 2020 07:06 - 47 minutes - 36.6 MBWell, dear listeners, you are reading that monstrous amalgamation of letters correctly. We have another Russian for you today. This dude loved being a crazy person and fighting against Catherine the Great's armies, but he was only good at one of them. He killed a lot of people over his life, and his ineptitude caused even more people to die. But ultimately there are no good or bad guys in this story, so feel free to laugh at all of their awfulness!
Ep. 57 The Bielski Brothers
January 07, 2020 09:08 - 1 hour - 50.3 MBI am extra excited to bring you today's episode, dear listeners. As we are covering something that is near and dear to (half) the host's hearts, Jews kicking ass. When World War 2 jumped off in Poland things looked...less than good for the local Jew folks. But three brothers, the Bielskis, said, "Fuck these Nazi pricks, we're going to the woods!" Then they saved more Jews than Schindler, suffered the least amount of casualties of any partisan group, and slapped around some fascists. Enjoy!
Ep. 56 Roy Albert DeMeo
January 02, 2020 05:56 - 1 hour - 49.7 MBHappy new year, dear listeners! Make sure you start 2020 off right with the story of Roy DeMeo, a mafia goomba who killed so many people that they named the way he went about doing it. You'll hear some names pop up that will be getting their own episodes down the road, as well as one of the goofiest nicknames I've ever heard from a mob goon. And there are a lot of goofy mob goon names. Enjoy the break from torturous concentration camp guards with some good ol' fashioned street murder!
Ep. 55 Irma Grese
December 31, 2019 10:32 - 57 minutes - 45.3 MBWelcome back to the podcast, dear listeners! As some of you have no doubt noticed, we've made it it a point to say that it's hard to claim if someone was good or bad, or somewhere in between. Well today's episode is about Irma Grese so that won't be a problem because that bitch was evil as fuuuuuuuuck, She not only willingly signed up with the SS during WW2, but took an active interest in torturing the Jews she guarded at various concentration camps. In ways that may surprise you.
Ep. 54 Andrew Kehoe
December 26, 2019 10:21 - 50 minutes - 40.1 MBWell, dear listeners. Christmas has come and gone, and I'm sure at least some of you have children who weren't grateful about the gifts you bought them. So boy do we have the episode for you today. Andrew Kehoe, I'm not going to say he's a hero, but you should thank him for his service. He provided so much to his hometown of Bath (yea, I know, the name is hot garbage) and all they did in return was offer hardship and scorn until he did what any red blooded American would. Listen in and learn...
Ep. 53 Arminius
December 24, 2019 09:05 - 54 minutes - 44.1 MBHappy 3rd day of Hanukkah dear listeners! And Christmas Eve for you goyims too I suppose. Today we're going way back in time to talk about a very rare thing on this podcast, a German that isn't a gigantic garbage monster. Arminius loved two things, trying to bang women with terrible names and smashing Roman's in the face. And the Romans took away the woman with a terrible name he was trying to bang so guess what this kraut badass is gonna do? Leave so many corpses that the Roman's couldn't b...
Ep. 52 Las Poquianchis
December 19, 2019 13:47 - 56 minutes - 43.5 MBWelcome to the last day of accidental lady's week, dear listeners. And we are closing it out with a bang talking about Las Poquianchis. I'm not gonna say these four sisters were evil, but I'm pretty sure when they got to hell Hitler asked them for their autograph. This has all the things a brothel related horror story south of the border needs. Prostitution, names that are hard to pronounce, corruption, rape, beatings, murder, and and hilarious comical karmic punishment. Enjoy!
Ep. 51 Milunka Savic
December 17, 2019 10:09 - 37 minutes - 29.7 MBWelcome back, dear listeners. By pure happenstance it's lady's week here at the Let Them Fight Podcast and first up is Milunka Savic. This Siberian woman, that looks like a walking muscle with a face on it, wanted to go to war so bad she pretended to be her brother so she could shoot people in the face. She was so good at it that even after they figured out, "holy shit, this muscle has tits!" they let her keep going back to war. In fact, she threw so many grenades it actually left her arms s...
Ep. 50 Witold Pilecki
December 12, 2019 10:07 - 53 minutes - 43.2 MBToday marks a special occasion as we hit our 50 episode milestone. We are honored that all of you have stuck with us for this long and we have a treat for today's release. A Polack who was so batshit crazy he willingly went to Auschwitz just to see what it was like. He fucked with the Nazis, he fucked with the commies. This dude hated everyone that went balls deep into Poland and he kept fighting them even after he probably should have quit. Pretty damn inspirational honestly.
Ep. 49 Shivaji Maharaj
December 10, 2019 10:39 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBToday we bring you Indian landlord, warlord, and name I probably pronounced wrong every single time, Shivaji Maharaj. This dude refused to take no for an answer and proceeded to smack down everyone that came against him, except for a couple people but he got them back later. Also he used those metal tiger claw things from kung fu video games. How sweet is that? He worked his way up the hierarchy of old timey Indian society and from all accounts was a pretty decent man.
Ep. 48 Charles "Sonny" Liston
December 05, 2019 09:43 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBWe have a treat for you today, dear listeners. Our first athlete, Charles "Sonny" Liston. Now you might be saying, "An athlete? They aren't that violent." And to that I say Ray Lewis, Ray Rice, Rae Carruth, OJ Simpson, and Kareem Hunt. But also this guy was a boxer and mob affiliated leg breaker. So he was plenty violent enough for our needs. Also he was a part of a huge historical moment, and died under mysterious circumstances. Plenty to ponder when it comes to the life of this dude. Enjoy!
Ep. 47 Leo Major
December 03, 2019 09:28 - 42 minutes - 34 MBWe're back with another war hero for your enjoyment, dear listeners. This one is a French Canadian. Yea, we were surprised too. But dear sweet lord this man kicked some major ass. He was probably a psychopath too, but luckily he was on the right side of history fighting against the Nazis in WW2. Between sessions of knocking German dicks into the dirt he also found the time to be petty to his superior officers. Which as a being of pure spite, made me love this dude even more. Enjoy the bat sh...
Ep. 46 Marcel Petiot (Guest: Matt Cole)
November 28, 2019 08:47 - 1 hour - 47.3 MBHappy Thanksgiving, dear listeners! You'll need something to do while you sit there not moving after stuffing your face, I suggest listening to us talk about a French psychopath with friend of the show Matt. Now, not all of you are American and thus won't be partaking in the food orgy that is Turkey Day, but listen anyways because it's a great episode. Being a non-Nazi in Nazi occupied France and still being the villain is a pretty impressive feat. And he has some of the best court quotes I'...
Ep. 45 Khun Sa (Guest: Matt Cole)
November 26, 2019 08:04 - 1 hour - 51.3 MBHello again, dear listeners! Today we're joined by friend of the show, comedian, and notorious alcoholic, Matt Cole, to talk about a real go-getter of a businessman, Khun Sa. This dude sold enough heroin to choke a million Belushi's, fought in a bunch of battles with pretty much every type of southeast Asian, and made enough money to give Jeff Bezos a hardon. Kick back at your desk, put the episode on, and find out who's responsible for that weird neighbor with all the bent and burnt spoons!
Ep. 44 Dick Turpin
November 21, 2019 09:39 - 49 minutes - 38.1 MBToday we're talking about Dick Turpin, which sounds like an Indian burn on your junk. But what he really was, was an old timey English butcher born inside of a pub. So you know his life turned out wonderfully. Complete with pistol spankings, fire torture, and elder abuse wrapped in all the goofy "pip-pip cheerio" British speak that you'd find in a Guy Ritchie film, make Rock n Rolla 2, you schmuck! Anyways. If you listen carefully you may even find out what English people used blackface for,...
Ep. 43 Philip Sheridan
November 19, 2019 08:15 - 55 minutes - 44.3 MBBy popular demand to do another Civil War guy, today's violent historical figure is Philip Sheridan. This dude was batshit crazy but a damn fine soldier. He kicked Confederate ass up and down the states during the Civil War and dropped some great quotes while doing it. As an aside, I'm not going to say that he hated Native Americans. But he hated Native Americans so much he also hated the animals associated with them. Enjoy the episode and learn the best use of the word "discouraged" I've ev...
Ep. 42 Adrian Carton de Wiart (Guest: Alfred Konuwa)
November 14, 2019 09:42 - 1 hour - 50.7 MBWe're back with our second episode featuring junior planeteer, Alfred Konuwa. And today we're talking about a man who refused to die, Adrian Carton de Way Too Many Names. That's not even his full name by the way. I think every time he should have died he got a name added. He was shot, blown up, and I assume full of gremlins as nearly every vehicle he got in crashed. He accomplished so much even Churchill was like, "Holy shit, dude." Listen to hear about the trail of human breadcrumbs he left...
Ep. 41 Ahmad Shah Massoud (Guest: Alfred Konuwa)
November 12, 2019 08:01 - 48 minutes - 37.6 MBToday we're talking about badass freedom fighter/revolutionary, Ahmad Shah Massoud. And we're joined by friend of the show, comedian and casual dashiki wearer, Alfred Konuwa. This dude kicked major ass all over Afghanistan for way longer than he probably should have been able to. Ahmad I mean, not Alfred. Alfred mostly just crows about being 5-5 in fantasy football. But we had a lot of fun with him on the podcast anyways, cracking jokes and rooting for the plucky underdog. Tune in and enjoy ...
Ep. 40 Peter Kurten
November 07, 2019 09:12 - 58 minutes - 45.3 MBToday we'll be traveling back to Germany in the early 1900s to talk about someone I'm genuinely at a loss for words to describe. One might think, "Germany, early 1900s, that dorky looking Hitler 'stache, I know where this is going!" But no, dear listeners, this man somehow makes the Third Reich look likeable by comparison. Ok well maybe not, but just let me build some drama goddamnit! Anyways, tune in, ignore the unsettling delight in Tim's voice, and enjoy the life story of the Vampire of D...
Ep. 39 Yves Trudeau
November 05, 2019 10:10 - 59 minutes - 44.7 MBHello again, dear listeners! Today we will be returning to Frenchiest part of Canada, Quebec, as another biker proves to us that it's not all just moose hockey, apologies, and maple flavored beer with Canadians, sometimes they can be evil shits too. This dude killed a ton of people, and sometimes got pretty creative about it. Here's a little foreshadowing for you, one of his nicknames was "The Mad Bomber." Also some good news, you definitely won't be conflicted about whether or not he was a ...
Ep. 38 Aileen Wuornos
October 31, 2019 07:51 - 57 minutes - 43.2 MBHappy Halloween, dear listeners. We're celebrating the holiday with a real haunting story as we delve into the life of Aileen Wuornos. Just look at the picture for this episode. Bitch has shark eyes, you know some evil shit is going down. Her story goes from tragic, to gruesome, to bizarre. You're gonna feel conflicted at the end, or maybe not I dunno, I'm not a psychologist. Come for the bar brawls, lesbian romance, and face shooting. and stay to listen to Tim go from rage to sadness and th...
Ep. 37 Baldwin IV of Jerusalem
October 29, 2019 07:10 - 54 minutes - 41.2 MBThat'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 co...
Ep. 36 Godfrey of Bouillon
October 24, 2019 08:58 - 56 minutes - 44.4 MBDid 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 g...
Ep. 35 Anthony Wayne
October 22, 2019 08:46 - 53 minutes - 40.7 MBToday 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...
Ep. 34 Shiro Ishii
October 17, 2019 06:58 - 52 minutes - 39.9 MBThere'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
October 15, 2019 08:18 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBWe 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 c...
Ep. 32 Francois Duvalier
October 10, 2019 06:56 - 48 minutes - 37.3 MBIf 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 p...
Ep. 31 Xenophon of Athens
October 08, 2019 07:30 - 49 minutes - 38.9 MBWe'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 ...
Ep. 30 Roman von Ungern-Sternberg
October 03, 2019 08:41 - 37 minutes - 30 MBWe'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
October 01, 2019 09:37 - 37 minutes - 29.1 MBNo 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. 28 Wu Zetian (Guest: Tom Goss)
September 24, 2019 07:20 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBWe're back with another episode featuring our friend and yours, Tom Goss. This week we're talking about Wu Zetian, an old timey Chinese woman who rose from a peasant to an empress. Then apparently to a Civilization playable character. We had a lot of fun recording this, give it a listen and join in on the madness!
Ep. 27 Mark Chopper Read (Guest: Tom Goss)
September 17, 2019 07:24 - 1 hour - 48.9 MBThis week we're talking about famous Australian criminal, author, and insane person, Mark "Chopper" Read. And as a special treat, joining us is the much less famous but hilarious local comedian, podcaster, and insane person, Tom Goss. As you travel down this path of craziness, mayhem, and blowtorch fun try and guess if this quote is from our topic or our guest, "I know a lot of dead people." Tune in and enjoy!
Ep. 26 Boston Corbett and John King Fisher
September 10, 2019 08:14 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBThis week we're starting with Boston Corbett and well, I don't really think there's anything I can say in the limited space available here to describe the insanity of his life, but his story will not disappoint. Then we have John King Fisher, a Texas landowning kinda bandit/kinda sheriff. I still can't tell if he loved Mexicans or hated them. Give the episode a listen and let us know what you think!
Ep. 25 James Burke and Larry Thorne
September 03, 2019 09:28 - 1 hour - 60.1 MBWe are very excited to be releasing this episode, because we have two absolutely batshit insane people to talk about. First up is James Burke, a mafia associated criminal who loved three things: murder, money, and even more murder. Then we move on to Larry Thorne, whose incredible hatred for communism led to him serving for three different armies, one of which may surprise you. Or not. Maybe you're smarter than us. Listen to the shenanigans these two got into and find out for sure!
Ep. 24 Francis Pegahmagabow and David Berkowitz
August 27, 2019 09:16 - 1 hour - 60 MBThis week we're going back to Canada and starting off with possibly the only man with worse lungs than the hosts of this podcast to talk about badass aborigine Francis Pegahmagabow, who pulled some stunts during WW1 that honestly make him almost as creepy as the second guy we're talking about, David Berkowitz, the Jewiest and mediocrest of serial killers. If murderers had a batting average, Berkowitz wouldn't have made it past little league. Get your fill of chlorine gas, half-orphans, and u...
Ep. 23 Maurice "Mom" Boucher
August 20, 2019 08:52 - 1 hour - 68 MBThis week our first story went a little longer than usual so it's just the one for today. But boy does it make up for being alone with sheer craziness. We're talking about Maurice Boucher, the Canadian (that's right, Canadian) Hells Angel that started a biker war and caused the death of way more people than his nickname of "Mom" would lead you to believe. I lost count of the number of times Tim said, "Holy shit!" Listen in and find out why! Also no outro this week, sorry, I know you're crush...
Ep. 22 Nathan Bedford Forrest and Sir William the Marshal
August 13, 2019 08:31 - 1 hour - 73.4 MBWe have a great episode for you this week talking about Nathan Bedford Forrest, one of the shittiest men I've ever heard of, but admittedly a badass soldier. And boy is his life bonkers, you may even find yourself rooting for this plucky Confederate, then immediately regretting that decision. Then we talk about Sir William the Marshal, a man who went around dick slapping all of Europe, and he kept being a badass up into Life Alert ages. And I would pay good money to watch him smash through a...
Ep. 21 Joe Ronnie Hooper and Dong Zhuo
August 06, 2019 07:42 - 1 hour - 63.6 MBThis week we're going full on bonkers in Asia with Joe Ronnie Hooper, a solder during the Vietnam War who loved throwing grenades into bunkers so much they give him a Medal of Honor for it. Then we move over to China and talk about Dong Zhuo, a ruthless warlord who killed enough people to show up in the Dynasty Warrior video games. Dig in for some real heartwarming, uplifting stories!
Ep. 20 Joseph Beyrle and Dallas Stoudenmire
July 30, 2019 08:52 - 1 hour - 52 MBThis week we had a lot of fun talking about Joseph Beyrle, who basically lived Gulliver's Travels WW2 edition, and Dallas Stoudenmire, a proud Arkansas man named after a mediocre Texas city who lived the life of a bonkers cartoon cowboy. We also finally figure out exactly which old timey monster Jacob is, and Tim discovers his wild west spirit animal. So check over both shoulders to make sure your boss isn't close enough to overhear and give it a listen!
Ep. 19 Phoolan Devi and Brendan Eamonn Fergus Finucane
July 23, 2019 08:23 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBThis week we have a real doozy for you. Starting things off is Phoolan Devi, the Bandit Queen of India, whose life starts off haunting and ends in the least expected way possible. Then we talk about Brendan Eamonn Fergus Finucane, who graduates from dunce to pilot that shot down more German planes than he has syllables in his garbage Irish name. Come for the tales of Rajput vengeance and stay for Top Gun if it happened on St. Patty's Day and didn't have the volleyball scene.
