Today we're talking about a man who had the spirit of an wild west outlaw who just happened to be trapped in North Carolina. He had the unfortunate luck of being born in the state while being of a darker persuasion. He faced a lot of persecution before, during, and after the Civil War, and he knew just how to respond, with a gun. Also he had a cool ass wife, you'll see what I mean. Enjoy!

I'm not gonna lie to you, dear listeners. This one is rough. We're heading to Scotland to talk about a real garbage dude, Dennis Nilsen. It's not just that he's gross and awful, but well, you'll see. But hey, for every moment of unsettling creepiness this dude's life put out, you get a moment of Tim raging as he learns about all of it in real time. And isn't that worth the price of admission? Enjoy!

Today we're headed to the land before Portugal to talk about mountain badass Viriato. That's right, this dude is older than Portugal, but he was one hard motherfucker. He went balls out and warred with the Romans, the guys that never give up until they win. That takes some guts. Or craziness. Or both? Probably both. Anyways, he was cool as hell and did some bonkers shit. Just uh, sorry about the ending. Anyway, enjoy!

In today's episode we'll be heading to the projects in New York's Spanish Harlem to talk about Alpo Martinez. What kind of man was he? Well, his name pops up in like 50 gangsta rap songs. So you can probably figure it out. He got started at a young age, and lived a real wild life. And people had some real strong thoughts about him, so we got quotes aplenty. Enjoy!

Today we're talking about a pair of miscreants who have shown up once before in a previous episode, but definitely deserved to have their own as well. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow lived pretty normal lives until they met each other, at which point they mixed like the ingredients of a Molotov cocktail and boom, everything went goddamn nuts. They packed a whole lot of living into a short amount of time. Enjoy!

Avast, ye scurvy deck rats! Today we're talking about the most piratey pirate that ever did pirate, Blackbeard Edward Teach himself! Though in all honesty he really wasn't like the mythical portrayals of him. He was pretty tame as far as pirates go, and he didn't do it for very long. Still, hell of a life packed into those few years. And he went out like a man, gave his story a pretty epic ending. So dig the real story on this bearded badass, and enjoy!

Last week we brought you a badass World War 2 general from America, and this week we're bringing you...this fucking guy. Lloyd Fredendall was also an American World War 2 general, but like, way less cool. And we have the accounts and the quotes to prove it. So join us in hating on this guy for his incompetence, and enjoy!

Today we're talking about a real hard nosed motherfucker, in the best kind of way. Terry de la Mesa Allen Sr came out of the womb destined for military service, and boy did he live up to that destiny. He only had one requirement for the men that served under him, be ready to kill the enemy at all times, and they obliged him. This dude was a lot of fun to learn about and discuss, with stories and quotes for days. Enjoy!
