Some familiar faces from past episodes also pop up. Enjoy!
Ep. 273 Seung-Hui Cho (Guest: Stefanie Michele)
Today we're joined by friend of the show, Stefanie Michele, to tell her all about notable garbage person Seung-Hui Cho. After years of people around him ignoring red flags, upsetting behavior, and the worst goddamn poetry in the world, he went on to get the world's worst high score. Enjoy!
Ep. 272 John List
Today's person of interest is John List, a real creepy looking bastard. Which is appropriate because he was a real creepy bastard. A pretty smart dude, but so very, very creepy. He's also another cautionary tale for what can happen when you give somebody a garbage childhood and super strict ingrained religious beliefs. Enjoy!
Ep. 271 Al Sieber
It's been a minute since we've covered a wild west badass, so today we're bringing you Al Sieber, one of the most famous Indian fighters of the late 1800s. He was also one of the few white people that showed some respect to the Apache and was thus respected by them in return. Dude did pretty well for an uneducated German immigrant. Enjoy!
Ep. 270 Bartley Gorman (Guest: Kyle Clark)
Friend of the show Kyle Clark is back with us again to talk about King of the Gypsies, Bartley Gorman. Not only did he live a bonkers life, but it turns out being a badass runs in his blood. His story is chock full of violence, fantastic quotes, and gypsy shenanigans. Enjoy!
Ep. 269 Ray Lambert (Guest: Kyle Clark)
We brought back friend of the show Kyle Clark to talk about Ray Lambert, a dude that lived through some of the worst shit World War 2 had to offer. And he did it all as a medic. Don't worry, he killed some shitbags along the way too, but his main focus was keeping American troops alive, and damn if he wasn't good at his job. Enjoy!
Ep. 268 Harald Hardrada
Today we got a type of badass we haven't covered in a while, viking. Harald Hardrada traveled all over the old world and honed his killing abilities. First in Russia, and you know those psycho ice monsters know how to get killing done. Then he was off to fuck with Jaffar in Constantinople, and boy did he make bank doing that.
