Boy have we got a doozy of a weirdo for you for our first episode of the year today, dear listeners. Ricardo Lopez was a dude that just wanted one thing. But he wanted it really, really badly. And he obsessed over it. Then he found out the thing he wanted, that he was never gonna get anyways, wasn't gonna happen (shocker). So he did the only natural thing. I'm not gonna spoil what it is, so you're gonna have to toon in and hear all about the weirdness. Enjoy!

Happy new year, dear listeners! Today we're going evil adjacent to talk about the spawn of Josef Stalin, one of the worst humans to ever exist. His son, Vasily Stalin, isn't nearly as bad, but he is comically inept and his life was a lot of fun to make fun of. Turns out the apple can fall pretty goddamn far from the stupidly mustached tree. Enjoy!

Happy Hanukkah, dear listeners! And I guess Christmas too or whatever. Anyways, we have a fun treat for you today, James Devereux. Who despite having a name like a Confederate general, was a dude who found himself on the right side of history. Starting with being in charge of the defense of a little known island in the Pacific that may or may not have had some impact on the war effort. And he pissed off the Japanese something fierce, which I'm always a fan of. Then he did a couple things after the war. So get ready for the full story, and enjoy!

Today we have a truly rare find for you, dear listeners. A Confederate that doesn't suck! Well, completely anyways. You see, Jack Hinson was just a simple man who wanted to run his farm in peace. I mean, sure, maybe his farm was a massive sprawl with slaves...Ok, he still sucked. But anyways, he wasn't allowed to just be a farmer, so he picked up his rifle and started putting notches in the wood. Enjoy!

Well hello again, dear listeners. I hope you're ready for another nightmarish tale of tragedy from World War 2 era Poland, cuz that's what we're talking about today. Harry Haft was a survivor. And he survived literal hell. But it turns out when you go through those kind of experiences, well, they can have a bit of a lasting effect on you. Just look into those eyes, you can tell. A real rollercoaster of emotions, but definitely a story that needs to be told. Enjoy!

You read that name right, dear listeners. Today we're talking about the big sword swinging, Mel Gibson appearing man himself, William Wallace. The Guardian of Scotland, which also might be the original name for Groundskeeper Willie, is pretty famous thanks to the movie about him. Now you can hear the true story! And all the, "yea that part wasn't true," that comes with it. Enjoy!

Hey there again, dear listeners. We're back with another non-scumbag episode today. We're talking about Mary Edwards Walker, a badass broad who managed to accomplish some incredible things in her day. Now, you might notice something missing from her story and don't worry, I address it. Plenty of great moments and quotes to be had in this episode, so enjoy!

Now don't let appearances fool you, dear listeners. Willis Augustus Lee may look like a huge nerd, but he was a real hellraiser as a kid and a big ol' swinging dick on the sea as an adult. Dude did a lot of great shit, and when his country needed him to fuck up some Japs on the ocean, well that is exactly what this man did, playing a significant role in a very significant battle in the process. Let the American pride wash over you, even if you're from somewhere else, and enjoy!
