Mother Teresa, Dr. Seuss, Gandhi. Is it possible these enlightened historical figures were total scumbags? That's what we try to decide in Scumbags of History, where we pick through the dirty underwear pile of lesser-known facts about some of the famous people society has put on a pedestal. Hosted by confirmed scumbags, comedians Brittany Schmitt and Mateen Stewart, Scumbags Of History is a thoroughly disreputable history lesson on the people you thought you knew from history. Episodes on Frank Sinatra, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, James Brown, Charlie Chaplin, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Picasso, and more figures from history, released weekly. You can find clips of the show on TikTok @wisecrackofficial or @scumbags.of.history, see full episodes on YouTube @ScumbagsOfHistory and follow Brittany (@BrittanySchmitt) and Mateen (@MateenStewart) on Instagram.

Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon's legal issues, allegations of sexual misconduct, tens of millions in hush money payments, and even allegations of sex trafficking make the soap opera theatrics of his average WWE event look tame. He's also an all-time strange character, regarding whom seemingly thousands of bizarre, maybe-true, maybe-not tales are all over the internet. Producer note: this episode was recorded PRIOR to additional allegations against Vince McMahon coming out.

Miles Davis
Miles Davis admitted in his autobiography to being a pimp that sold women for sex to support his heroin habit, and that was just the tip of the iceberg for this brilliant jazz musician who was incredibly honest about his many, many vices.

Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs denied the paternity of his daughter, and avoided paying child support, while the mother of his child and his daughter were on welfare. He also completely changed how pretty much every person on the planet interacts with technology (including this podcast!). Brittany and Mateen litigate Jobs' legacy in this episode.

Customer Reviews
Fun concept!
Review Sigmund Freud!
Fun concept but hosts are grating
I had high hopes for this podcast but it falls flat. The hosts don’t have great research skills and/or don’t bother to fact check prior to recording. I understand that this is primarily a comedic show, but the point is to inform listeners of each episode’s subject. Despite reading from a document, they issue disclaimers saying that their information may not be correct and they flub pronunciations and details.
Overall I think this show could be good (the concept is fun) but the hosts should put more effort into it.
What an annoying show
It sounded like an interesting premise, but the woman is so incredibly irritating. She adds nothing to the discussion and revels in her ignorance. Why bother? Next.
