Thieves, Rogues, & Renegades

In 1603, the English village of Pendle was the site of a swift and brutal witch trial that nearly wiped out two entire families. Luckily, they learned from this and never made this blunder again. Except they did, and the second trial had an accuser from the first one. We also talk about some uniform ideas for Kyle's marathon day, West Virginia, "Shit Tower", and the Hammer of Witches (which leads to Chris' fictional band name from the early 2000s). Just a note, there is a fairly realistic (and, it should be noted, graphic) description of what happens during the hanging of those that were found guilty during witch trials. That kind of thing isn't for everyone, so be sure to keep that in mind during the second half of this episode. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

In part two of our look at Jean and Pierre Lafitte, we watch the brothers carve out a piece of American history. Their shared interest in a free Louisiana brings them together with people-owning enthusiast Andrew Jackson. Jackson and the Lafittes had a mutual interest in the success of the Americans in the war of 1812 and the brothers had what Jackson needed: A shitload of huge cannons. They go on to start their own kingdom in Mexico, we talk about the Treaty of Ghent again, and Jean creates his own fake letters of Marque from a country that doesn't exist. Catch the conclusion, this one really has everything. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

Enjoy Part One of our two part look at the rise of two brothers who turned from a humble life of blacksmithing into two of the most successful pirates of all time. It turns out it isn't just Mardi Gras that makes people go from a quiet life to one of sin and excess in the Big Easy- sometimes it's a hatred of Spain. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

Enjoy our one part look at William Dampier, a buccaneer, privateer, explorer, pirate, and travel blogger that is responsible for including almost 1500 words to the English language. Dampier had a penchant for adventure, a scientific mind, an artists' hands, and the appetite of Joey Chestnut. He's responsible for bringing the recipe for guacamole to the masses and he also did some other stuff that is kinda cool, like circumnavigating the world 3 times. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

An exclusive look at some truly lousy popes. We cover skeletons on trial, skeletons in rivers, and skeletons in closets. We also cover some jokes about Dune, papal orgies, and barnyard stuff- but that's not out of character for us. This series of vignettes covers a handful of Popes that didn't have the luxury of turning in their Prada slippers and flying away in a helicopter. In fact, some of them went to trial, some were killed, and one managed to do both of those things in an order that may surprise you. How many crimes were committed? Well, we kept a running total. Oh, yeah, Keith is back. Also, there may be an actual ghost in this episode. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

Have you ever been in an argument with someone and you knew you were right? Did it make you angry? Did you want to tell the world that they were wrong? Did you buy a 5 ton block of gypsum from a quarry in a different state and hire 3 men in secret to carve a 10 foot tall likeness of yourself and then bury it to be discovered later in an attempt to prove how easily discredited their position was? No you didn't, because we know a guy that did and his story is in this episode and it isn't about you.

What the hell is groundhog day? Good question. Here's a quick primer on some of the most famous rodent prognosticators in North America (plus one that may have been murdered by a famous New Yorker).

Part two, our finale of Boudicca (Boudica? Bodicea? Depends on who you ask), sees her campaign of bloody revenge in the south of England as well as our very own collectible trading cards that sound an awful lot like a scam, because they more than likely are. Before we look at the final, climactic battle between the fury of the Iceni horde and the might of the Roman war machine, we show the different styles of warfare- from the armored legions of rome the exposed, and potentially blue, genitals of the Britons. And Rob drops what is arguably the least recognized thing he assumes everyone knows about in the history of anything ever. We also ask the one truly important question: Was Boudicca actually real? email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

In the first episode of our two part look at Boudicca, the warrior queen of the Britons, we take a look at just how Rome came about colonizing the English islands. Ultimately, Rome does some Rome stuff, and death leads to atrocity which leads to Boudicca raising tens of thousands of countrymen to her cause. Have you ever wanted some payback after a bad day? Well, the difference is that your day wasn't anywhere near as bad as hers and she actually did something about it. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

We track the ascension of Ching Shih (sometimes called Zheng Yi Sao) from her humble beginnings as a prostitute to the wife of one of the most successful pirates in Asia. After her husband's death- she took up the mantle and went on to lead a force of 80,000 pirates and 1,800 vessels. She would go on to break navies and defy empires before he reign ended- and maybe not the way you think it did. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

In 1976, 26 children and their bus driver were kidnapped on the way home from an end of summer pool party. 3 armed men loaded them into unmarked vans before burying them in the California desert- and ultimately Robert Goulet ends up in this story.

Happy halloween, y'all! This time we're looking into some unexplained mysteries in the tri-state area, and we're unfortunately in the market for a new co-host since Kyle decided to act irresponsibly. Just remember that you don't have to, nor should you EVER, tolerate someone becoming physical in the workplace. Completely unacceptable. But anyway... *glass shatters* OH GOD OH MY GOD *Gunshots* OH GOD NO *Gunshots* *Growling* *Squelching*

During the height of prohibition, many enterprising people found different ways to make money- some opened secret bars, some committed life insurance fraud. Mike Malloy, a homeless immigrant and alcoholic was the target of one of these schemes (well, both, technically) but there was a wrinkle in the plan: Mike simply wouldn't die. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

THE FINALE! After we play musical chairs with hosts, experience a month's worth of technical difficulties, we finally wrapped our largest, longest, girthiest series yet- all wrapped up in one nice jar. We cover assassination attempts, actual assassinations, starvation, revolution, baked goods, malicious baked goods, Henry Kissinger, and Hellboy. This series wraps in one of our most exciting episodes yet, and we cannot thank you guys enough for enjoying it with us.

Our fifth installment in our 6 part series is a busy one. Unfortunately we're Keith-less since he was exposed to covid at work (don't worry, he was fine), but we carried on as best we could. From Padre's questions re: Italian heritage, an INCREDIBLY thirst dog, and some discussions on gout- we really get into what fame and fortune does to our man Greg. From an unfortunate dining experience that ended up with a police report that included the words "sexually psychopathic", to global conflict, and ultimately to a woman without a nose, this is one hell of an episode.

In the 4th of our series, we see Grigory begin his ascent to rarified atmosphere of Russia's loftiest political circles. Almost immediately upon meeting them, he became a trusted and loyal companion to the Tsar and Tsarina, eventually providing what can only be described as magical childcare. That does not coincide with his Marvin Gaye-esque brand of sexual healing. He was a weird dude, but he wasn't that gross. Chris displays his encyclopedic knowledge of ED medications, there is a great "footprints in the sand" joke, and there is a decent chance everyone gets poison ivy.

Our third installment of our series on Rasputin introduces the Romanovs- the unbroken line of Russian rulers who governed for over 300 years. We consider an intervention for Padre, the dog drops the heaviest toy in the history of dog toys, and we set the stage for Rasputin's introduction into the highest echelons of Russian society. As an added bonus to this episode, Kyle was out of town so it's even better than usual.

In our second installment of our multi-part look at Rasputin, we follow Grigori as he goes from weird child to weird young man as he begins his long, shirtless trek across Russia. Along the way, he makes some exciting new friends that will ultimately try to murder him, but that's not for a few more episodes We try to debunk a few theories, postulate on some of our own, and Chris explains why he loves renting cars so much.

Strange Tsar Things: Grigori Rasputin PART TWO (Patreon Exclusive) by Thieves, Rogues, & Renegades

In the first episode of our most ambitious project yet, we introduce our guest host, Keith. Friend of the podcast, student of history, and appreciator of bad jokes, Keith is helping us uncover the strange story of our newest subject. We're examining the raven-haired master of the occult- Sony Pictures' own Dr. Michael Morbius (in theaters now). Our story begins as most weird things do: In Siberia. A peasant boy that claims he can see crime turns into a womanizing alcoholic and then back into a weird young man before combining all of these things in future installments.

RØb, Chrïs, Pådre, and Kylë are wrapping up our look into Norway's black metal scene. What started as a niche music scene (albeit with a healthy amout of satanic rituals and animal carcassses) very quickly turns violent. From the murder of a homosexual near the Lillehammer Olympic village to a rash of church burnings, the black metal scene becomes something more than just music.

In part one of two, we look at the rise of the Black Metal scene in Norway. Join RØb, Chrïs, Pådre, and Kylë as they cross the Atlantic in an attempt to finally understand counter-culture and no longer be considered posers by very pale people with incredibly long hair. In the infancy of rock's Scandinavian sub-genre, a small group of weird, skinny men decided to escalate things from a small group of weird, skinny men to a small group of weird skinny men that set churches on fire.

In this episode of Extra Rations, Rob talks about John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill, more commonly known as "Mad Jack". A Scottish officer in the British Army during WWII. Jack was as rough and tough as you would expect any highlander pressed into war would be, but he carried a few things into battle that were considered unorthodox at the time: A bow, a sword, and bagpipes. Yes, there is official documentation of him using all three. email us at trrpod@gmail.com Follow us on twitter! @podcastTRR Follow us on instagram! @trrpod Find us on facebook!

We revisit the 2018 Holiday special and look take a look at how different countries and cultures have celebrated Christmas before it became a weird amalgamation with a fat, bearded Santa drinking Coca-Cola. It also turns out that there some weird scores to settle with Pittsburgh sportscasters and Kyle hates ham. It was a learning experience for all of us. Happy holidays, everyone!

In this episode, Rob, Chris, and Kyle cover the Iron Butterfly and her rise to power as one of the wealthiest women in history. From her start as Miss Manilla* (She didn't actually win), to her extravagant shopping sprees, and ultimately to her conviction for graft of between 5 and 10 billion dollars. She sort of kidnapped the Beatles, bought an entire auction at Sotheby's, and goes on the most expensive cheese run in history. And also, she's probably responsible for the deaths of a BUNCH of people. We also count our shoes and vie for the title of Mr. Marcos 2021.

We're getting back to our roots and talking about a Caribbean pirate. Bartholomew Roberts, or "Black Bart", is one of- if not THE- most successful of the Caribbean pirates, and the dude sure liked making flags with his face on 'em. From his tremendous successes at sea, to offering what was essentially health insurance, and dropping some pretty casual racism against the Irish, he was truly ahead of his time. He also gave us the code that only truly gained popularity when Johnny Depp talked about it in a Disney movie.

Luckily, they left their recordings to a host that was gracious enough to share their tales.

Part three of the history of Justinian series sees him lead the byzantine empire out of the worst period in human history- right up until the next one just a few years later. It's like if the four horsemen showed up except they were riding fleas. WARNING: This episode has some pretty graphic detail of what the bubonic plague can do you to, and this kind of content might not be for everyone.

Our look at Dan Sickles' life begins its second half in the (first) trial of the century (maybe). While on trial for murdering his friend by shooting him in the dick until he dies, he sets the tone for rich people by crafting a unique defense. Later on he owns the luckiest horse in the entire world. Then he goes to the same museum over and over. I'm glossing over a lot of details, but it's not that far off. Oh, yeah, he kinda accidentally won Gettysburg by being a jerk. Music provided by The Bloody Seamen "Lop It Off" from Sail Hatin' "Red Sky" from Ahoy Motherfuckers www.thebloodyseamen.bandcamp.com/

The Liberian civil war was fought by bloodthirsty warlords that used the psychological tactics of child soldiers, macabre rituals, and creative nicknames. General Butt Naked (yes, that was the name he chose) was among the most bloodthirsty on the battlefield as well as thirsting for actual human blood. He made a pact with the devil himself to become invincible in combat while fighting, yes, butt naked. He ended up backing out on his pact with Satan by renegotiating a deal with... God.

Part one of our investigation into Woodes Rogers gets the whole band back together as they look into the exciting life of a surprisingly boring man. Woodes Rogers effectively ends piracy in the Caribbean (Sorry, Johnny Depp) and defeats the Spanish incursions into British colonial holdings almost single-handedly, but he sailed deep into the Pacific as a privateer and rescued a dude that set up the fictional story for every marooned person on a desert island that wasn't eaten by crabs (Sorry, Amelia Earhart). Also, Mike pretends to know when that book came out and is called out on it, because he TOTALLY GUESSES. We're setting the stage for the tumultuous governorship of Woodes in part one.
