  • I was never really a podcast guy until a few months ago. One day I just typed in "history comedy" on Spotify. I figured the top 3 would have ads so I tried my luck with #4, Let Them Fight. Although there's a 70% chance a riff will somehow turn into a rant about cum, they do make more than enough jokes to make up for it. I drive about 400-500 hundred miles a day for work and listen to these guys for every minute of it (mainly because I'd get my pay docked for looking at my phone while driving). L... more

  • The history they should of taught you in school. From the badass and brave to the unhinged and depraved. My personal favourite is when Tim and Jacob absolutely tore into Charlton leach.....for him to then be on the next podcast in person!

    On a personal note found these guys in a rather crappy time of life and they have endlessly cheered me up and have made me realise that it could be worse. I could be an Italian!

    In a scummy world, the cream of the scum rises to the top. And these guys are top ... more

  • Highlight of my week

    I found out about this podcast back in June when I was at my annual training and one of my Sargents put on the episode on Jake McNiece (amazing first episode I was lucky) while we were on a convoy. Since then I have listened to pretty much every episode. You guys are awesome, and you get me through the work day even if my coworkers look at me weird while I laugh at some sick joke you guys made. I don’t know how many requests you have piled up, but I would love to hear an episode on Christopher L... more

  • Amazing podcast with just as good content on there patreon just with a wider variety of topics. I would love for the guys to cover the topic of the 1924 fight between notre dame and the KKK or Charles B. McVay III even if it's just as a Patreon.
