Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

Today we have a real rags to riches story as we talk about someone who went from a nobody, to king of a place nobody cares about. Muammar Gaddafi is kind of a confusing dude as a dictator, because he did some stuff that'll make you go, "Oh, that's really cool. More places should have that policy." Then immediately follows it up with some heinous shit. He just never really picks a lane. Plenty of crazy though, he plants himself firmly in that lane for sure. So there's plenty of fun in this episode. Enjoy!

The badass we'll be talking about this week comes to us in the form of a relatively unknown man from the US Navy. James E. Williams served his country well in a real shit part of Vietnam and boy did he go hard. Citation after citation and commendation after commendation, this dude put in the work and was recognized for what a bad motherfucker he was in the face of danger. Just a good, wholesome, fun episode for you this holiday season. Enjoy!

Today we'll be taking a trip to old timey England, since it's been a while, to talk about Jonathan Wild. When he was young he surely got his hands dirty as he was a bit of a bruiser for some say, less than reputable people. But it's when he rose in position that he really came into his own and blossomed like a flower, a piece of shit flower, but a flower none the less. This dude killed a lot of people and hurt an amount of people I'm not even gonna try to fathom. Both directly and through his orders. The only thing worse than a scumbag, is a scumbag with power. Enjoy!

We were recently reminded that we haven't done a conquistador type dude in a while, so here's one who's famous for the dumbest reason instead of for all the shit he actually did in his life! Juan Ponce de Leon got off to a rough start as a conquering Spaniard. But he righted that ship pretty fast and soon became a scourge to the natives. Yea, they leave a lot of that part out of his story when they tell you about him in school. Anyway, this guy sucked as a person, but his story is dope, outside the crimes against humanity. Enjoy!

Today we'll be taking a trip to the often overlooked country of Bolivia, so overlooked that we completely forgot where it was on a map. But anyway, we'll be talking about Roberto Suarez Gomez, a dude who turned a fortune into an even bigger fortune, by pretty sketchy means. As a result he interacted with a lot of familiar names. Now he didn't necessarily dole out a lot of violence personally, though it certainly happened, but he definitely got into some stuff that killed a lot of people, so he earned his spot here. Enjoy!
