How Bill Hickok got "Wild"

How Bill Hickok got "Wild"

When people talk about "Wild Bill" Hickok...they are usually talking about his infamous death in "Deadwood"...but what was his origin story that made him such a feared name in the Wild West to begin with? Well...it's a good story and my Pal Teddy Daniels (from the Wizards of Odd) helps me tell it. Big thanks to Ethan and Ming at A Shared Universe...Kahuna, will return...once he gets paroled.
Lost Gold about the GOD of the US Navy...and yes...he's a Scottish madman and thankfully he was on our side!
Lost gold....enjoy...wild story...history sometimes repeats itself and often with the same players
More lost gold....one of the greatest Native American warriors of all time...enjoy!!
Did we lose this episode too? Formerly, this was Patreon only but now it's yours for free baybay...enjoy the horrifying true story of the ship that was doomed like none other....Quint from Jaws only barely scratched the service on how bad things were for those poor sailors;
Another Lost Episode.....about this one crazy time we declared WAR on the Mormon religion.....enjoy!
A lost episode about two people who volunteered to get lost in the NEW WORLD. Enjoy
This was formerly a Patreon Episode and for some reason, I can't prove that we ever released it to the the masses when the patreon ended....I hope you enjoy the TRUE story of the Rise and Fall of the King Fish...the only man who could have beaten FDR in an election...Huey Long
What does it take to have a county in New Jersey named after you? Hugh Mercer's story answers that question and more....guests Mike Sicoli and Kp's Manager join the Kahuna, South Beach Larry and that other guy while they tell the tale of a forgotten hero of not one or two but three wars.....Crazy Scots!
A return to the studio with Kahuna, LP and a mystery guest....we talk about the Golden Age of Piracy and the legends of Mary Read, Anne Bonny and Calico Jack Rackham.
Updates for you fine folks as we build this thing back with more losing, more wormholes, more content. Please enjoy wiKPedia, a weekly side project my girl and I have put together going down wild wikipedia wormholes. Once a month the crew Ming, Kahuna, South Beach Larry and Myself will be live at A Shared Universe to give you more episodes of the show you helped us take from a dream to a success... and enjoy the reels we keep making...they're pretty dam fun.
200 episodes, 4 years of bizarre history, lots of fun and tons of laughs. AMERICAN LOSER is ending (IN IT'S CURRENT FORM) and as we grow the idea to all of it's potential, we are going to be walking away from the weekly format while we fry some bigger fish in some bigger ponds. We love the listeners, the Kahuna, Criss Madd, Ming and Mike Zapcic and all the amazing guests that have been kind enough to come on the show over the years. WE ARE NOT DONE YET...more things to come.
Cousin Kelly joins us again in the studio to talk all things "Royals" with us....back when America was still just the "New World" to some people, Sir Walter Raleigh...a legit British badass and legend had some wild fame and wild misfortunes at different parts of his life. Check out all the historical stuff that the ELIZABETH movies totally gone wrong or casually pretended never happened.
The Origin story of the Army Rangers sees a man named Robert Rogers go from Frontier Hero to Loyalist Terrorist depending on who you ask....enjoy this previously Patreon only episode.
LP is in South Beach....Kahuna keeps getting calls from Hollywood (and Nigerian Princes) but dammit we have a show to do....enjoy the wild and true story of a Scandal ridden politician, an annoying journalist and the gun shot that left a crime scene in our Nation's Capitol Building that can still be seen today.

Check out the real life story of Bill the Butcher.
The Legend Lives On!! We are talking fact and fiction and everything in between. Enjoy this previously PATREON only episode brought to you by the kind FOUNDING LOSERS!
At times Spiro T. Agnew was the most popular man in DC...other times...not so much. He remains controversial to this day due to the manner in which he served and left the office of the Vice Presidency.....enjoy the chaos!
Fatty Arbuckle was America's first hilarious "big" guy in movies and entertainment...imagine if Chris Farley got wrapped up in a major sex scandal...that is what happened to our boy Fatty. You'll never look at a coke bottle the same way!

Anyone who’s into history and has a sense of humor then this is the podcast for you. American Losers is kinda like the Pringle’s “once you pop you can’t stop” type of thing so give it a shot
