Warning! This episode is not for the squeamish!In this shocking (and supersized) episode, we profile three of the most abhorrent members of the History Hall of Shame: Hitler's uber-quack personal physician/drug pusher; the putrid, ravenous 18th century freak/accidental secret agent Tarrare; and the murderous proto-Dracula Elizabeth Bathory. If you have the stomach to listen to all 79 minutes of this episode, you’ll need to take a shower afterwards. Trust us.

The Bar Stool Historian returns, along with their blame-assigning technological marvel, the Blame-O-Meter 5000!In this episode. we measure how much the phrase "Read my lips, no new taxes..." was to blame for George H. W. Bush's re-election failure.Plus, Tim recalls his personal experiences of growing up in the bad-old days of crime-ridden NYC. For context, we recommend watching this short documentary gem about the freelance video and photo journalists prowling the nighttime NYC crime beat in 1991. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDPr4y381Mw
