Episode 39: My Actions Are Not Defensible

Welcome back to another episode of Here's a Guy. For this one, you may be well-served to turn the lights down and curl up with your most comforting blanket and your intoxicant of choice. That's right, our topics this week are three absolutely grimly awful guys, each in their own special way (and no I'm not talking about the hosts of this show, don't even make that joke you dickwads). First, we try to lighten the mood by discussing weird bumper stickers and more questionable Google search terms that lead people to our show, plus JackJohn addresses the allegations from last week's episode. Then it's a headfirst dive into three stories of terrible guys throughout history, from a 15th century religious figure who may have laid the foundation for both witch trials and incels, to a senator who experienced the consequences of being a pro-slavery official in the North during the Civil War, to a guy in upsettingly recent times who became convinced that his wife had been stolen by fairies and replaced with a changeling.
