Ep. 117 Harry "The Hook" Aleman

August 04, 2020 07:51 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

It's time for another trip into old timey Chicago's mobland, because there's no shortage of goombas and boy do they bring the violence. Today it's Harry Aleman, whose nickname of "The Hook" is for thankfully non-awful reasons. He lived life as your average Italian gangster stereotype. A track suit here, a meatball recipe there, and lots of murdering. What sets him apart is he's one of the few people in American history to be tried twice for the same murder. But the whole ride is plenty fun. ...

Ep. 116 Robert Hansen (Guest: Sasha Sakha)

July 30, 2020 07:42 - 1 hour - 45.2 MB

Round 2 of our week of monsters featuring Sasha is here, and we are closing out this week strong. Robert Hansen was a hyper self aware psychopath who knew he was trash, but boy did he love rape, and hunting hookers. He was basically a dude who turned The Most Dangerous Game and Andy Dufresne's first few moments in prison into a lifestyle. If you listen closely during this episode you can pick out the exact moment Sasha regretted asking for monsters. Enjoy!

Ep. 115 Gilles de Rais (Guest: Sasha Sakha)

July 28, 2020 07:30 - 57 minutes - 37.2 MB

Another guest edition for you today, dear listeners! Our comedian friend Sasha joins us after requesting some monsters for this week's episodes and boy do we deliver, so strap in. First we're visiting our dead weight from every world war, France. And we're talking about Gilles de Rais, pronounced Gee duh Ray. Because fucking France. Anyways, dude was a crazy party boy trust fund kid and man did he get into some shit. You'll even see a name pop up that you really should recognize. Enjoy!

Ep. 114 Billy Martin

July 23, 2020 07:36 - 1 hour - 43 MB

Look, I think we can all agree that baseball is the worst sport ever created and it'd be more fun to watch two blind amputees play badminton. That being said, Billy Martin brought something to the sport that actually made it entertaining, a ton of fights and absolute batshittery. This dude fought everyone he could for any reason he could muster up. He was also the coach during the infamous 10 cent beer night. Every team needs to get themselves at least one Billy Martin, stat.

Ep. 113 The Bloody Benders

July 21, 2020 08:00 - 55 minutes - 37 MB

Today we have a full family of psychos for you, the Benders. They left quite an impact on the state of Kansas back in the old timey days. And it's like that old saying goes, the family that murders travelers together for the thrill, stays together. Something like that anyways. There's a lot of mystery and controversy around the real story and what happened to the Benders in the end, but we did our best to compile all the accurate (or at least fun) stuff together. Enjoy!

Ep. 112 Carl Panzram

July 16, 2020 07:40 - 1 hour - 55.6 MB

Whew boy, do we have a monster for you today, dear listeners. Carl Panzram did a lot of terrible things throughout his life while riding the boxcars like all the old timey hobos did. I don't want to spoil anything, but I'm pretty sure his official title was King of Sodomy. He also did fun things too. Like stealing yachts, breaking out of prisons, and murdering a person or 20. But his one true love in life, was definitely sodomy. Ready for an hour of that one scene from Pulp Fiction? Enjoy!

Ep. 111 Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins

July 14, 2020 07:17 - 54 minutes - 37.1 MB

This week we're taking a break from the war heroes to bring you some real top shelf garbage monsters. First up is Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins, a serial killer who was best known for (aside from the, ya know, murders) knowing what it's like to be on both sides of a rape. Plenty of brutality abound, along with a couple hilarious jail breaks, some marriages that failed, and the saddest "wait, that's my real name?" story I've ever heard. Enjoy!

Ep. 110 Tommy Macpherson

July 09, 2020 07:43 - 42 minutes - 28.8 MB

We're gonna close out the week with another World War 2 soldier from the UK, this time Scotland. Tommy Mac was a dedicated and hilarious psychopath. And man am I glad he was on the Allied side during the war. From hilarious escapes to achievement unlocking kills, this dude did nothing but bonkers shit. And he did it all while wearing a kilt, because why not?

Ep. 109 Digby Tatham-Warter

July 07, 2020 07:41 - 1 hour - 43.7 MB

Today we're gonna talk about Digby Tatham-Warter, which is the most British name I've ever heard in my life. Also he's further proof that during World War 2 every British person was a goddamn psychopath. He was part of the nightmare that was Operation Market Garden, and the glorious success that was Operation Pegasus. And though it all, he never lost his cool. Because he was obviously batshit insane. But in honestly one of the funnest ways I've read about. Enjoy!

Ep. 108 Jack H. Lucas

July 02, 2020 07:35 - 40 minutes - 26.4 MB

We opened this week up with a Russian that loved killing and we're closing it out with an American who could not be killed until he decided he was done with life. Jack Lucas decided that he was old enough for World War 2 before his balls finished dropping and well, he was kinda right. He killed some people, he saved some people, and he survived more than anyone should. He also got a Medal of Honor before he was old enough to legally buy porno. That's a thing people used to do by the way. Any...

Ep. 107 Roza Shanina

June 30, 2020 08:27 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MB

Welcome back, dear listeners! It is time for us to journey back to the land the gods have forgotten, Russia. This time we're gonna talk about Roza Shanina, a Russian sniper from World War 2 who looks more like she should be the face of a butter company marketing to fat midwest housewives or something. But damn could she shoot. She burned the candle at both ends, and all those other cliched phrases about living way too fast and doing a lot of bonkers shit super quick. Enjoy!

Ep. 106 Felicitas Sanchez Aguillon

June 25, 2020 07:54 - 46 minutes - 30.9 MB

Come with us, dear listeners, back to Mexico to talk about baby farming ogress, Felicitas Sanchez Aguillon AKA The Crusher of Little Angels. Yes that's a real nickname, and yes you'll probably be seeing this frog eyed nightmare haunting your dreams for a little while. She put in an impressively high amount of work over the decades of committing her less than acceptable acts, and put up a pretty decent body count. Also ruined a lot of plumbing. What's that mean? Oh, you'll find out. Enjoy!

Ep. 105 Robert Franklin Williams

June 23, 2020 07:57 - 1 hour - 43.9 MB

Today we'll be going in a far different direction than we did in our last episode. We're going to talk about Robert F. Williams, a black activist that inspired other black activists who went on to be way more famous than him, but he did some major ass kicking to lead the way. Dude had gunfights with the Klan and pulled guns on racist cops who tried to feed him to a mob. He also fought hard against segregation and was ultimately driven out of the country for it. Definitely a guy worth learnin...

Ep. 104 Richard Chase

June 18, 2020 08:03 - 1 hour - 41.4 MB

Today we'll be visiting the great (ha!) city of Sacramento to talk about Richard Chase. I won't lie to you dear listeners, this one gets rough. It starts off bonkers crazy and somehow always manages to outdo itself. Also you can hear friend of the show/Tim's roommate angrily yelling in the background so you can know that at certain points in this story, you are not alone. So make sure you use headphones for this one, or at least that you're alone, and enjoy our most fucked up person yet!

Ep. 103 Howard Unruh

June 16, 2020 07:27 - 55 minutes - 36.9 MB

Over the years I've learned about a lot of people who kept lists. Santa Clause (from other kids, I was raised Jewish so we just had a shitty candle holder), repo men, that weird kid in high school who you should always be nice to just in case, so on and so forth. Today's person falls into the weirdo category, and boy did he follow through with that list. Even picked up some extra names. Dude had a lot of stuff going on, and it all culminated into the dumbest name for a killing, The Walk of D...

Ep. 102 Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll

June 11, 2020 08:00 - 48 minutes - 32.7 MB

Today we have another fun prohibition era psychopath, Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll. If you know anything about how nicknames work, "Mad Dog" is usually not a great sign for a person's mental state after all. Dude loved killing, and apparently breaking the spirit of various Catholic leaders. Anyways, enjoy the episode and learn about why people think the Irish have bad tempers. Cuz this dude kinda proves their point.

Ep. 101 Chief Victorio

June 09, 2020 07:57 - 1 hour - 44.8 MB

It's time again to go back to the 1800s, this time to talk about Chief Victorio of the Apache. All he wanted to do was chill on his people's land in New Mexico, and not to spoil anything but, the US government was super not ok with that. So off to war Victorio went. If you know anything about history you know that it doesn't end great for him or his people, but dude puts in some serious work along the way. Even the US Army credits him as a great leader and brilliant tactician. Enjoy!

Ep. 100 Jesse James Part 2

June 04, 2020 07:38 - 1 hour - 51.4 MB

Welcome to part 2 of the Jesse James saga, and episode 100! Ignoring the bonus episode anyways. That was just for fun, but go listen to it anyways. Anyways, we're picking up where we left off in the last episode and covering the more famous part of Jesse's life. The bank robbing, train robbing, stagecoach robbing, and still cousin fucking, part. He continues to be a garbage person masquerading as a champion of the people, but we don't buy it. And we cover some of the post-death stuff. Enjoy!

Ep. 99 Jesse James Part 1

June 02, 2020 09:01 - 1 hour - 43.5 MB

This week we're doing something special and splitting a story in half. And who better for us to cover the week of our 100th episode than Jesse James. Today we'll be covering his life pre-criminal days. Well, technically he was a war criminal during the Civil War, and we definitely talk about that. But pre-bank robberies at least. Anyways, enjoy part 1 of the life of Confederate hero, and honestly super not good person, Jesse James!

Ep. 98 Takeda Shingen

May 28, 2020 08:22 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MB

Join us, dear listeners, as we travel back to Japan to talk about a guy some of you may recognize from a previous episode, Takeda Shingen. This dude had a pretty dope life. Just a constant back and forth from battling other samurai and kicking ass, to chilling in his fuck mansion and plowing anybody who was into it. He did get kind of a mediocre death, but hey, the rest of his life was still awesome. Enjoy!

Ep. 97 "Stagecoach" Mary Fields

May 26, 2020 07:04 - 40 minutes - 26.7 MB

I'm gonna tip our hand here a little bit and let you know upfront, this episode doesn't have a twist or another shoe dropping. It's just good old fun all the way through. Stagecoach Mary lived a really dope life on the frontier as basically an anomaly of the old west. She was pretty damn awesome, and with the exception of one douchebag bishop who never even met her, I couldn't find anybody that actively disliked her. Even people she punched in the face loved her. Enjoy!

Ep. 96 Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan

May 21, 2020 08:22 - 49 minutes - 32.2 MB

Today we're covering fame adjacent outlaw, Harvey Logan AKA Kid Curry. Some say he was a murderous psycho, some that he was the victim of circumstance. It's probably somewhere in the middle where he got dealt a bum hand and decided he really loved murdering and stealing after a little while. Also we're still not absolutely certain if he died when the authorities claimed, or many years later while hiding out. Either way, dude had a crazy life. Enjoy!

Ep. 95 Agrippina the Younger

May 19, 2020 07:53 - 54 minutes - 36.7 MB

Today, dear listeners, we have a very well, interesting, person's story to share. Agrippina the Younger of Rome. She was related to several people you should recognize, and if you don't, well then public school failed you. In either case, this crazy broad caused a lot of death, and apparently the later years of her life were sponsored by Acme. Also special mention for the goofiest failed assassination I've ever heard. Enjoy!

Ep. 94 William Barker

May 14, 2020 07:45 - 49 minutes - 33.5 MB

To all our friends up north in America's hat, Canada, don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you. In fact, today's episode is about one of your soldiers, William Barker. Started flying planes in World War 1 and realized very quickly that he loved shooting other planes and blowing stuff up. He was a crazy good pilot and earned a ton of awards. Sure, his story ends tragically. But he also has one of my favorite Christmas stories, so I'll call it a win. Enjoy!

Ep. 93 Amelia Dyer

May 12, 2020 07:25 - 1 hour - 41.6 MB

Today, dear listeners, we're going to take you to Victorian era England to talk about notorious baby farmer and serial killer, Amelia Dyer. She got started in the baby farming business for the money, and soon ramped up her work for the love of the game. And yes, baby farming is exactly as fucked up as the name would imply. While the exact number of Dyer's victims is unknown, it's entirely possible that she was the most prolific serial killer of all time, or at least in England. Enjoy!

Ep. 92 Alexander Solonik

May 07, 2020 07:07 - 51 minutes - 34.4 MB

I'm sure you've all been wondering when we're going to go back to Russia, well your prayers have been answered. Today we visit the Motherland to talk about Russian superkiller, Alexander Solonik. Dude bumped off some very dangerous and very powerful Russian criminals. Then repeated that same trick in a bunch of European countries with other criminal organizations. He also really didn't like staying in prisons. And while there is an official death date for him, he could still be out there kil...

Ep. 91 Lewis Millett

May 05, 2020 07:14 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MB

Welcome back, dear listeners! Today we're bringing you epic mustache, and man that dick slapped Nazis and Chinese alike, Lewis Millett. He fought in WW2 and decided that wasn't enough killin', so he shipped off to Korea to fight against the Chinese forces holding a couple important places. I don't want to give anything away, but he learned two things about himself: he loved big guns, and he loved stabbing people. And we learned if you're going to make propaganda, don't make it easily proven ...

Ep. 90 Rodney Alcala

April 30, 2020 08:20 - 50 minutes - 33.8 MB

Hello again, dear listeners, we're back with another psycho that loved murder! Rodney Alcala's story has more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie and boy does it get kind of bonkers. Also, his outside of murder accomplishments are definitely not what you'd expect. Listen in to find it all out, and to hear Tim's smug satisfaction as Jacob rages at both Alcala and the judicial system.

Ep. 89 Texas John Slaughter

April 28, 2020 07:22 - 40 minutes - 27.3 MB

In today's episode we will be going back to the wild west, dear listeners, to talk about Texas John Slaughter. He did all the traditional wild west things. Cattle driving, working as a sheriff in Tombstone, gambling, and shooting people he didn't like. He also collected a couple wives and some kids along the way, some even survived! Also, he super did not like being called Tex. Something to keep in mind if you meet his ghost or something. Anyways, enjoy the badassery that is Texas John Slaug...

Ep. 88 Matt Urban

April 23, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MB

Welcome back, dear listeners, and settle in for an episode about a genuinely good dude, who also kicked a metric ton of Nazi ass, Matt Urban. If you've ever played a video game set during WW2, chances are the crazy shit you did was inspired by some of the real shit this guy did. And boy is it a lot. I don't want to give anything away but, this dude earned 29 goddamn medals. Honestly, if his story doesn't get your dick at least a little hard, well that's on you. Enjoy!

Ep. 87 Juana Barraza

April 21, 2020 07:40 - 44 minutes - 29.6 MB

It's time to go back to Mexico, dear listeners, so that we can talk about Juana Barraza. Her life story is pretty much a constant rotation between, "holy shit that's tragic," and events in dire need of being backed by Yakety Sax. One moment she's being abused by damn near everyone in her life, the next she's a clown luchador. Also we all get some insight into just how effective the Mexican police can be. Enjoy!

Ep. 86 Gregory Scarpa

April 16, 2020 07:37 - 49 minutes - 33.7 MB

Welcome back, dear listeners. We're leaving Chicago behind for a little while to take a look in on a mob hitman in New York, Gregory Scarpa. Dude did some wild shit, and after every atrocity you'll be thinking, "Man, I don't like this guy." Then you find out he also beat a Klansman so bad it changed who he was as a person and you'll think, "Ok, maybe he's not that bad. You gotta break a few people eggs to make a Klansman boot party omelette, right?" Enjoy this bonkers mobster and all his she...

Ep. 85 Samuel DeStefano

April 14, 2020 06:08 - 53 minutes - 35.6 MB

Welcome back to another week of historical violence, dear listeners! We're sticking around Chicago again today to talk about Samuel DeStefano, a dude who made the bad guys from all the Saw movies seem reasonable. Except Samuel's game was loaning out money to people, then dreaming about all the ways he was going to punish them for not paying. Sounds like a nice guy right? Well strap in, because that's just the tip of the iceberg to this crazy guinea. Enjoy!

Ep. 84 Charles Dean O'Banion

April 09, 2020 06:33 - 58 minutes - 37.6 MB

Happy continued apocalypse, dear listeners! We have another Chicago goon from the early 1900s for you today. Whatever the Irish version of a goombah is, a potato maybe? I don't know, micks gonna mick. Anyways, as always we had a lot of fun making fun of people who lived more exciting lives than us. Enjoy the tales of this nicely dressed leprechaun and his life of newspaper wars and booze wars!

Ep. 83 Jack Johnson

April 07, 2020 08:12 - 1 hour - 43.2 MB

Why hello again, dear listeners. Today we have the story of a fun person from the early 1900s, Jack Johnson. He's our second boxer and honestly, we need to cover more because apparently boxers have lives made out of pure, unadulterated insanity. Jack was a simple man, he loved hookers, boxing, and white hookers. He was a man that gave no shits about what he might have to do to get what he wanted, and if his actions in that regard don't inspire you in some way, well then there's just no helpi...

Ep. 82 William Burke (Guest: Anthony Davis)

April 02, 2020 06:50 - 1 hour - 50.2 MB

Hello, dear listeners! We have another episode for you with our friendly neighborhood shaved Sasquatch, Anthony Davis. And today we're talking about William Burke, a British man who went on to run a very successful business in Scotland. So successful that Simon Pegg even played him in a movie. Don't worry though, you'll still get your biweekly dose of violence because Burke loved turning breathing people into sweet, sweet nonbreathing money. Which of course involved murder. Enjoy!

Ep. 81 Christopher Dale Flannery (Guest: Anthony Davis)

March 31, 2020 06:01 - 1 hour - 46.7 MB

Today we will be going back to Australia, dear listeners, to talk about hitman, and friend of people with terrible nicknames, Christopher Flannery. Also known as Mr. Rent-a-Kill. Yes, that was the real nickname of a real man who killed real people. Also we are joined by comedian, hillbilly Teletubbie, and friend of the show Anthony Davis. We had a lot of fun talking about goofy Australian names and murder for hire with him, and we hope you enjoy the fun!

Ep. 80 Marcelo Costa de Andrade

March 26, 2020 07:09 - 1 hour - 44.3 MB

Well, dear listeners, we have another escalation in the awful garbage monster competition as we head down to Brazil to cover Marcelo Andrade today. We've had this one sitting in our box of fan suggestions for a couple months now and decided we waited long enough to dump the awfulness that is Andrade on you. His "career" was short lived, but boy did it make a splash. Without giving anything away, this is our second person who was nicknamed the vampire of some place. Enjoy!

Ep. 79 Francisco Pizarro

March 24, 2020 06:45 - 52 minutes - 40.4 MB

Hello again, dear listeners. We're back with our regular scheduled programming today to cover Francisco Pizarro, a Spanish conquistador that loved gold, Jesus, and killing the shit out of Natives in South America. Also another thing, but I don't wanna spoil that. He failed pretty spectacularly quite a few times, but when he won, boy did he win big.

Bonus Episode w/ Carlton Leach

March 23, 2020 07:55 - 1 hour - 78.3 MB

This weekend afforded us a unique opportunity, and we knew that we had to take it. Carlton Leach, who we talked about in episode 77, found our episode about his life and didn't hate it. Then he offered to actually talk to us if we were interested, which well, 100% yes. So we offer you this bonus episode to enjoy because while the sound quality is a little lower than normal as this was done through Skype, it was still an incredibly fun conversation and we think you'll agree!

Ep. 78 Ulysses S. Grant

March 19, 2020 09:30 - 2 hours - 119 MB

Thank you, dear listeners for sticking around with us long enough for us to hit our 1 year mark. Which is exactly today. We wanted to do something big to celebrate so we're covering Tim's favorite person from any point in history, Ulysses S. Grant. On the off chance you don't know who that is, he led the Union army to victory against the Confederates during the Civil War. And then became the motherfucking president. We went extra long to make sure we did his story justice. Enjoy!

Ep. 77 Carlton Leach

March 17, 2020 08:49 - 1 hour - 83.2 MB

A treat today, dear listeners! Carlton Leach has been a person we've wanted to cover for several months now, and we're excited to finally release it for you. Most of his stories were told directly from the man himself, which allows for a unique perspective we normally don't get to cover. He also recounts experiences where things don't go well for him, which is always fun. Enjoy the tales of this soccer hooligan/doorman/muscle man running rampant across London!

Ep. 76 Alferd Packer

March 12, 2020 07:49 - 1 hour - 63.5 MB

We have another fan submitted name to talk about today, dear listeners. The even more unlikable than he should have been, Alferd Packer. Seriously, I couldn't find a single person in this dude's life that didn't hate his guts almost immediately after meeting him. I did however find the single greatest quote from a judge I've found in any court transcript I've seen in my life. Enjoy the madness of this incredibly terrible liar and all the frontier shenanigans he got into!

Ep. 75 Erich Mielke

March 10, 2020 07:51 - 55 minutes - 43.2 MB

We're back, dear listeners, sans guest this time. And we're talking about a terrible German who wished he was a terrible Russian, Erich Mielke. We're calling him Milky. This dude goes from pissing off cops to being the worst kind of cop. While being an even more garbagey version of that snitch kid everyone hated in high school in between. This episode has everything, riots, war, and secret police, oh my!

Ep. 74 Richard Ramirez (Guest: Derrick Murray)

March 05, 2020 08:54 - 1 hour - 49.3 MB

Today we have part two with Derrick Murray for you, dear listeners. This time we're moving away from the heroes and awesome quotes, and stepping right into monster territory. I'm sure if you're listening to this podcast you've heard of Richard Ramirez, The Night Stalker, before. If not, read more. Please. Anyways, this dude was a godawful little goblin of a person, with a grill to match. And boy did we enjoy shitting on every part of his dumb goblin life. I'm sure you'll enjoy it too!

Ep. 73 Smedley Darlington Butler (Guest: Derrick Murray)

March 03, 2020 08:41 - 1 hour - 61.5 MB

Today we are joined by friend of the show, and occasional comedian, Derrick Murray. We decided to ease him into the show with one of our rare good people, Smedley Butler. One of the most decorated Marines in American history and cleaner of Philadelphia. He went all around the world kicking ass for America and then after he retired he had some very strong opinions about the things he did for this country. He had some of the worst nicknames I've ever heard, but man did he have some badass quot...

Ep. 72 Andrei Chikatilo

February 27, 2020 08:48 - 52 minutes - 39.7 MB

Well, dear listeners. If lately you've been thinking, "These guys are great, but where did all the monsters go?" Well then this is the episode you've been waiting for. Andrei Chikatilo was a special kind of garbage person. I can only describe him as what a windowless van would be like as a person. He went all across Russia making everything he touched grosser for several different reasons and not a single one is good. One more "here's what you're in for" heads up, his nickname was The Russia...

Ep. 71 Robert Smalls

February 25, 2020 08:47 - 56 minutes - 42.1 MB

We have a nice inspirational story for you today, dear listeners! Robert Smalls is credited as being the final factor to sway Lincoln into allowing freed blacks to join the Union Army to fight against the Confederacy, and for good reason. After the most mild slave escape I've ever heard about, he went on to give the northerners a ton of information that assisted their efforts. And he took an active role as a boat pilot in several engagements. Dude was a badass and you'll definitely enjoy his...

Ep. 70 Stanley Tookie Williams

February 20, 2020 09:32 - 1 hour - 57.7 MB

Today we're going on a trip deep into the heart of South Central LA to talk about the infamous Stanley Tookie Williams. Founder of the Crips turned anti-gang advocate who also took part in a baby fight club, and then regular fight club. He was charged with, and convicted of, four murders. But it's really not that simple as some of the transcripts and leaked information from the court case show. Also man did the prosecutor say some dumb shit. He was a complicated man, but he definitely wasn't...

Ep. 69 Olga of Kiev

February 18, 2020 08:28 - 40 minutes - 30.7 MB

Well dear listeners, we have an absolutely batshit crazy bitch for you today. Olga of Kiev was basically the queen of revenge killing. Also I still can't tell if she was super smart or everyone else was super dumb, kind of a coin flip situation. What started as a pretty normal story quickly spiraled into a tale of tree dismemberment, human torches, and bird murder. That's right. Goddamn bird murder. You know you want to find out what that means. Enjoy!
