We've all been taught to venerate the dead. Where's the fun in that?! No one can take all their rotten secrets to the grave. Humans are just trash monsters that make mistakes, rub together and make more humans. So, let's grab some beers, bury inhibitions and dig up some dirt on history's most iconic departed.

Love these guys! I listen to them while doing my job working with historical things!

Awesome

Great show, good sense of humor and informative

Swooning and crooning didn't come easy for Frank Sinatra, in fact he had the voice of a hoary marmot in heat and the temper of a spoiled baby meatball. While his mother was off performing basement abortions, Frankie was off slipping it in whatever he could get his fat marinara fingers on.

Chapin was arguably the world's greatest physical comedians. On the silver screen he was the lovable Tramp, behind the scenes he was a sex-crazed megalomaniac on the prowl for underage ass.

Rasputin had one hand in a bucket of hardboiled eggs, the other up the babushka blouses of half the Russian aristocracy. With his creepy hypnotizing eyes, this man banged his way to the highest echelons of power and in the process shaped the modern world as we know it. Did he have supernatural powers or just a dangerous dong?

Tonight we are talkin' SHRIMP! Well, actually Artemia salina... which aren't shrimp. Sea Monkeys!!! These harmless little creatures from another planet were the brainchild of a terrible little man, Harold Von Braunhut. This toy-maker, turned weapons manufacturer, turned Jewish donor to the Aryan Brotherhood is a real POS!

Anthony Wayne

Little known Anthony Wayne was one of the shining stars in the Continental Army during the  American Revolution. He singlehandedly secured the United States future and its expansion westward. He also banged almost all of his friend's wives and sisters, while completely ignoring his own wife, children and finances. You can only be so much of a hero...

Marlon Brando

When most people hear Marlon Brando, they think The Godfather, A Streetcar Named Desire or On the Waterfront. What they don't think of is McDonald's Grimace. Brando was a walking dumpster. Eating and screwing everything and everyone in his path, just like the Grimace.

Tallulah Bankhead

With over 500 affairs and a daily consumption of 2 liters of bourbon, 150 cigarettes, an 8-ball of coke, weed and codeine, Tallulah Bankhead knew how to party. As queen of the 1920's flapper movement, every night was a yakked up orgy with a 2pm curtain call. But when you're constantly messed up. You constantly mess up.

William Walker

William Walker was a scrawny, entitled, doughy-eyed Southern racist that could not stop illegally invading Central America during the 19th century. Seeing that he was terrified of women, this was not your tequila fueled spring break like off of a 90s reality TV show. The only show he got was the dongs of his soldiers, as their pants rotted away on his death marches through the deserts and jungles of Mexico &amp; Nicaragua.
