Ep. 491 Oliver Hazard Perry

Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

It's time, dear listeners, for another badass on the water. And he did it without Kevin Costner's gross webbed feet and gills. Oliver Hazard Perry grew up watching his dad being a bad motherfucker on a ship and decided he wanted to follow in his footsteps, and then one up him. He wound up fighting the British, the terrors of the sea at the time, and he stomped their dumb limey dicks into the dirt. Well, water I guess? Anyway, this dude was dope, so enjoy!
