Behind the Bastards
Part Two: The Pol Pot Episodes: How A Nice, Quiet Kid Murdered His Country
Yeah, the make a difference part of just get involved really, I feel like the public messaging, we should be concentrating more on the direction you make a difference.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
We are back. Robert, this question was asked 552,000 times. When can we expect a sequel to After the Revolution? After the Revolution.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
You're allowed. Thank you. You've referenced that there are people who start to look into but ultimately find that there isn't really enough there for an episode. Who came the closest to being worthy of doing a whole episode about, but who was the most disappointing person that you weren't able to do an episode about?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And likewise, I guess there's a handful of people where you've been like where people are like, it's not a say that you've looked into them. People are like, why don't you do an episode on so and so? And you're like, because they're fucking boring.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Which episode received the most backlash from fans?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Where can I read up on Robert's war zone journalism or whatever older pieces may be out there?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Let's do a fun one before the next ad break. Robert, if you were a Spice Girl, what would be your Spice Girl name?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Yes, but what would your... So your Spice Girl... That was my name, yes.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Your Spice Girl name is Afraid of Women Spice?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Afraid of women I like, Spice. Got it.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I think I would be Producer Spice.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
It's time for ads again. We'll be back.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Yeah, I know. It's crazy. When did you decide BTB was going to be your next thing? Was it something you've been building towards in your life? Was it becoming a pod, a major goal, or did it just sort of happen?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
So here's my explanation. We can kind of answer that.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Stuff They Missed in History Class. It's the How Stuff Works team that was originally out of Atlanta.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Let's pause for five seconds. Uh-huh. When Robert says, I've mentioned this previously before, but when Robert says he tells his idea for a dictator show, first of all, this is my first interaction with Robert, is he's like running through a wind tunnel.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And I could hear half the words, and it was like, bad guys, history, worst. And I was like, I would like to produce that. Thank you so much. Unhinged.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Good old Jack O'Brien was like,
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Because Jack actually had stolen me.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Jack-tually. Jack actually stole me. I can't even say that.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
So I worked at a company that bought HowStuffWorks. And I was working at that company doing like project management stuff, which is kind of like why it makes sense why I'm so so able to control the amount of shows we have. A lot of my background was in that. And Jack, when Jack came on to run the L.A.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
version of and it was originally just comedy of the How Stuff Works team, he stole me from that other company. Thank you, Jack. Yeah. And soon after that, I got to meet Robert and changed my life.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Well, it's not even just that, because it started as a weekly, and then you're like, man, would it make sense if we split things into parts? Mm-hmm. So now it's a twice-weekly show, at least. But yeah. Oh, our origin. That's so cute. But yeah. Anyways, we worked at this company called How Stuff Works and or Stuff Media, whatever, whatever.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
They went publicly by How Stuff Works and then the company was called Stuff Media. And then all of a sudden one day they were like, oh, hey, by the way, we just got bought by iHeartRadio. You work for them now. And we were like, yep.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And like, you know, I really, I really like our team. And that's all I'm going to say about that. Robert, can you give us a cat update?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
There's many questions about your cat than just, you know, anything interesting?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Are you telling this story?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
hours matter um the most amazing thing about that story is i once made robert during this time shortly after after we knew saddam hussein was gonna be okay uh joined a call with a well let's just call him an entertainment person that was not being a chill guy and uh do you remember this story On a project we ultimately decided not to work on. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And per usual, I spent the last hour trying to make myself look nice enough for the camera so people aren't mean to me on the internet.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
On a project we ultimately decided not to work on. Yes, yes. But it was going to be a very unpleasant phone call. And Robert gets on. And Robert has maybe spoken to this man for 10 seconds once. And he's like, hey, how's it going, Robert? And Robert's like, my cat got a seed stuck up his urethra. And I really treasured that moment. Yeah, so do I. That was beautiful for me. Let's do one more.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I don't know why I say your name. Like who else would I be asking? I mean, besides Anderson Anderson. No. Um, what activities do you, oh, this is for both of us. What activities do y'all do to ease your mental health after researching and hearing about awful things?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
This is mine. This is my answer right here. This beautiful dog I'm holding. And for the audio only people, I'm holding up Anderson and she looks quite beautiful. Yes, you do.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I don't know. You could have said, I go for runs most days.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Fair enough. What are we doing today, Robert?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
We'll be back on Thursday with another round of questions.

Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
What was your least favorite episode to do and why?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Yeah. Especially with history because it's so subjective.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
For sure. I really fucking hate when we do the, like...

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Let's say I had a beer is so cryptic. What the fuck? You sound so unwell. Robert, is there an episode, topic, or individual that you have covered that has left you shaken up or angry long after you completed the episode?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I'm going to ask you one that won't make you very angry. Robert, what is your opinion on modern Star Trek? I love most of it. That's what they say.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I like this question. Who is your fantasy guest?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I think they... Wow, very specific. I think they mean if you could have anybody come and guest on the podcast, who would your dream person be?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Can you guess who mine is?
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
There's only one obvious answer.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And you just be like, treat people with kindness. What are you talking about? No, that's not who it is. Uh-huh. There's only one person it could be.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I'm waiting to see if you know.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I gave you my guess. The listeners are disappointed.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I think a lot of people would want to hear your opinion on ball handling, Robert.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Speaking of thought crime the internet one of the internet's sort of positive things is at least there's a paper trail for all this shit yeah like yeah jesus christ yeah you know what's crazy you were saying so so that part of the clip is is scrubbed from the internet where oprah asks their size It is very hard to find.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
It was more just what I was trying to, what I was curious about was like, cause in the last episode, we watched a clip of Joan Rivers doing a version of this to Oprah.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah. It's like, it's, it's, It is wild for Oprah to have been upset by the Joan Rivers version of this and then... I mean, it's not surprising, but it is really like remarkably unselfaware or unempathetic.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
There's someone's parents have this on VHS somewhere. Next time you're home for any holiday, check the tapes. Yes.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think it's a little bit too speaking of the political that like because she's a black woman, we make assumptions of what her like politics and values are that don't have to be true. And we see this in like the actual questions and like the editorials. Yeah.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Which is like fine she's obviously allowed to have those opinions but it's I think there's there's a big like we build up as a culture like who we think Oprah ought to be and and the bastard he happens in the difference between those two things.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
The reason we use them is because they make the coolest G.I. Joe toys.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
It's also like even in the absence of the perversions of it, just the simple act of doing it in public or as a performance, even if it were otherwise largely fine, which it isn't,
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
That's like medieval layman's understanding of the world. That's just like burn the witch type shit.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah, it turns therapy into like telekinesis. Magic, yes. Yeah, at sort of best, where it's just like... And I guess to me, it's like all this shit, it's like... Do you never consider the counterfactual of any of this? Like, just like, oh, sorry, kid. Sorry about all your cancer. You should have had a better attitude. Like, it's so fucking disgusting when you think about any failure case of this.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
And it's, oh, I don't know. It's so hard to argue against, but it's just like, it's so gross for that reason to me.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah. Well, because because there's like a germ of truth, like speaking of like Jordan Peterson, I did have a moment where I was like, you know, most of these boys that listen to him really could clean their room more like that would immeasurably improve their lives. And then getting some sunlight might help. Yeah.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
But then once once the little amount of information, like actual value of value that they've imparted has paid off, everything subsequent to that is complete bullshit. Yeah. And it's just like the line of like how valuable this is, is But even as we're talking, you see how you lose this argument. Because it's like, well, okay, some of this works, but not all of it.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
But I can't prove that none of it works. And you become a dithering idiot in the face of all you have to do is be positive. A simple lie is always going to be better than a laborious refutation.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
It's just a big old scramble and you just wish it works. And also it's such a insidious grift because it's so easy then when it doesn't work for you to point out that you did it magic hard enough in various ways.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah. Yeah. You know, as we're talking, I just had the realization that like what kind of – what Oprah offers is kind of like those like right-wing pregnancy crisis centers near like abortion clinics because it's like – It's a simulacrum of the thing that you actually need. And it just serves these horrible ends. I guess those are at least...
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
directed and intentional and full of lies and throughout all this i will say the thing that is like still kind of there is like it doesn't it still doesn't seem like oprah is being intentionally eve or anyway there's enough plausible deniability here oh yeah yeah i mean there's there's a ton of it and like it's important not to as we kind of litigate bastardism
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
But even what you're describing, like among her peers, she at least will acknowledge things like affirmative action. Whereas like every single billionaire got to where they are with – immense like moments of chance they high rolled many times in a row and like the overarching like common commonality between most of them is they believe that none of that was chance
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Oprah at least has a little bit of giving deference to someone else.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
So, you know, I don't know where we want to go there. I mean, it is sort of that like... Not mudslinging because it's factual. That's like... I mean, again, we're barely past the era of... Or not even. We're still within the era of... men on the internet being like, oh, I can't wait till they're, you know, XYZ, like, young woman is 18.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
It's a little bit of that, like, this shit was definitely happening. By the way, definitely is happening. And there's whispers about it, but, like, you kind of just, like, there's a limit to what you can do. So, like...
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah, it's that kind of thing where like every time like like Democrats go after Republicans and they're like, oh, you wouldn't want this turn back on you like, oh, we're going to we're going to go after your heroes. And it's like truly like, yes, they're all fucking horrible people. Get them all out of there.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
If you've done crime, I don't care what political party or like who you are in the culture.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Or it's like Hollywood in that, like, you heard a bunch of stuff.

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Actually, that felt pretty coherent. That felt just like lag. It didn't feel like you were having a stroke. It just felt like there's just a wee bit of a transmission problem, but it's fine.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
I mean, the other just like heuristic way to look at it is if these fucks had concrete evidence on a black woman, you sure as fuck, we would know about it. Yes.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
There'd be no need for insinuation if any evidence existed.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah, that's why, you know, and then also the other big portion of it is in the fucking church itself.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
But, you know... Those guys are still doing... I would say whoever the sponsor is, high chance some South African racist has a stake in that company.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah. It's the same reason, like, Batman is a bastard. Because Batman-ing is by far the least effective use of your billions to keep crime down. Yeah. Like, it's vanity. And it's just like, it's not bastard-y, but it's like, come on. How dumb are you?
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
For all, like, the billionaire classes railing against the inefficiencies of bureaucracy, like, their own vanity and hubris is so much more wasteful and disgusting and damaging, and there's no way to make them see it. I mean, part of what, like, is here, it's like there's... Because I was almost going to say, like, you know, what is the comparison between what happened at the Oprah Academy and...
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
a baseline when you realize there is no baseline. There's nothing to compare this to. Like, nothing like this exists for a good reason.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Well, because it's partially my guess is that like everyone's like, well, I've been to school. I've been a student before.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Or how difficult it is, like, oh, I was fucked up by this. But, like, you're not aware of the choice that had to be made. Like, it's a little bit like being like, oh, I've eaten at a restaurant before, therefore I can be a chef. Like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Also, it's like making one perfect school is something you can do. Making a dozen pretty good schools for the same money.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
They're looking for child trafficking. Here it is. They just don't like it because it's Christians.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
It's really, like, pretty impressive how easily, like, everyone is fooled, I think, by this. Like, the difference between authentic and authenticism is, like, it seems big to me. Maybe, am I just an idiot? Like, I'm just like... This is still very fake, guys.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
This really is just I mean, at least now we're really getting into like having having gotten the early biography out of the way. It's like, oh, Jesus Christ.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Yeah. This is the behind the bastards I'm used to.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
My podcast is Yo, Is This Racist? I don't know. Do whatever you want. People have been finding me on Blue Sky. It's nice.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Oh, well, great. That might have been off of Daily Like Ice appearance, but definitely someone did. Excellent.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
But I would just argue that, like, every child I know with a phone knows the difference between use this pick, not this pick.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
Which is the exact same thing. Yeah. Like, oh, I look good in this one.
Behind the Bastards
Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?
But just like like the alternative would be a what? Three sixty spherical constant surveillance, which is, I believe, a form of torture.

Part One: What's New With Andrew Tate?
Between the last episodes we did and this update and then the Manosphere series on Jamie's show, I feel like I'm swimming in it. I'm deep in the water.
Behind the Bastards

Right, unless he was nervous about potentially losing or something.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: What's New With Andrew Tate?
Yeah. Ninety five percent of the money is going straight to them.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: What's New With Andrew Tate?
Yeah, or maybe they just think he's a dickhead.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: What's New With Andrew Tate?
And I think like Aiden Ross and like the Nelk Boys and all that stuff, Trump was on all their podcasts in the election cycle. Like, there it is. Yeah. Right.
Behind the Bastards

Don't just trust her. He was a supporter of women.
Behind the Bastards
Part One: What's New With Andrew Tate?
I would just like, he was like a woman with a machete. She couldn't do anything to me. I would like to take the chance. Take the chance, man.
Behind the Bastards

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
I mean, you brought it up. You should tell us what the fuck.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
To be fair, it's up against Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
Yeah. I mean, the actual Grimm's fairy tales are pretty horrific, to be honest.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
Well, that's why Disney was like, mm, too tame, not into it.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
No, Robert. Who else is George Lucas?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
I mean, that would be so incredibly based. That would be pretty based. It would be.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
What does he have against light beer?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
Yeah, okay. So, you know, it's like astonishing to me that people are paying $75 and like selling out. I mean, that's more than people were paying for Coachella in the early 2000s. The crazy thing is like,
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
Yeah, I just want to be like, honey, did you not show up for sex ed class that day? Did you miss that lesson?
Behind the Bastards

Boy, howdy, that was a paragraph, Robert.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
I'm really not looking forward to what's coming next.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
I think you wrote a really good script, though.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
Oh, yeah. No, no, no. Sophie, Sophie. No, no. It's late. We ended the last episode where I was like, wow, you're such a great writer. That was so good. Thank you, Sophie. And then you come in and then you do that fucking shit. What?

Really shocked about how well-liked he is in the city of Portland.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
When he got the tear gas thrown on him.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
Oh, my God. That's on somebody's fucking, like, dating profile, for sure. Yeah.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
It's so funny. You're bragging about your own birth like you did fucking anything.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
I typed Emery Tate into Google, and the first thing that autofills is CIA. Hmm. He was in the CIA.

Yeah, that kind of sounds not great, bro. Do you need to talk about this, man? Yeah. No talking, just... Yeah.
Behind the Bastards

Ian, remind me to tell you about the time when Robert got a foot massager and he refused to not use it while recording.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
You want me to plug this bad boy in? And it would go directly into the mic. There's no hazard pay. That's enough. Don't take it out. Don't plug it in. No, he's plugging it in. I'm sorry, Ian. That was my fault for bringing it up.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)
I thought he didn't cry. Why are we worried about that?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 1 & 2)

Robert, did you say how much people were paying for this class?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
What a wonderful and innovative title.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
It's so good. Time and weight specifically, I want to just emphasize on that, a lot of kids are home alone. A lot of kids are doing remote learning school and have access to, whether that be a computer or an iPad or some kind of digital device, and are home alone without supervision. And, you know, the algorithms have brought them to Andrew Tate. And...
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Ian, what do you have to plug? Anything?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
I want to plug two books that are available for pre-order right now. The first of which is Jamie Loftus' book about hot dogs called Raw Dog. It's available for pre-order. Go to her website. So Schmieds for all that info. And also our very own Margaret Killjoy of Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, which Ian also edits, has a book available for pre-sale also called Escape from Insell Island.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
And I would like to plug those two books. Check out both of their So Schmieds to get info on that.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
It's not the first time he's done that, and it's cringey every time.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
The amount of jump scares in that video. So first of all, the music transition, amazing.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Absolutely flawless. Third of all, Jake Paul's face.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
I guess I know who I owe apologies to on your behalf.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
For $50 a month. You get the classes for free. So but what about the fifty dollars a month?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
What is happening behind him? Someone's cleaning his house. But why is she so close to him?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Why is he choosing to alienate all the short people?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
He's basically telling them that, you know, their greatest insecurities don't matter as long as they're, you know, They try to be like him and be a big, tough man.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Yeah. It's going to be good. Not to be advised.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
He's always the most obnoxious in the room. He's the loudest in the room. And you make sure of that.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
The filming on this is so weird. It like, yeah, jumps back and forth between his cars. He's like clearly holding an empty mug to look powerful.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
First of all, you should only protect your boys made me audibly vomit. That's how we work here at Cool Zone.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
No. Just like him going firm anti-military and anti-Biden. You clearly know your audience.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
I would be so curious to know, like, the specific things that he watched and read where he, like, what specifically he learned. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's... Yeah, exactly.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
He was every fucking he was everywhere.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
I think it's interesting that, like, his reach where he was going on literally CNN, but also was doing, like, he did, like, an interview on a... The Fit and Trim podcast or whatever shit. Fit and Trim podcast, but also, like, he did an entire interview on this, like, TikTok teen show with Barstool Sports BFFs.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Yeah, where it's like... Where it's like, yeah.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
That's subjectively evil in a huge script.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
I'm like, good stuff. Not sure. Are you going to ask how we're feeling? Yeah, how are you feeling?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
How's everybody doing? Everybody happy? Sad and concerned for... I'm hearing happy.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Like, live music is one of the greatest things we have in this world.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Not Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate's like, ooh, too much joy.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
They also both like to wear really tight pants, which is, they also both like to wear really tight pants.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
And branding somebody are dramatically different.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Do we think he'd throw his brother under the bus to save himself? One million percent.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Yeah, I was hoping I wouldn't have to show it to Ian.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Ian, I was hoping he wouldn't make me show this to you.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Yeah, I think the way that he's reached his audience should be examined and that it's truly terrifying. It's truly terrifying the reach that he has and that the internet basically has rewarded him for it. I hope he stays in jail for a long time and fizzles out. But as we can see, Andrew Tate clones will just keep popping up.
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
That's you, Ian. What do you got?
Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: The Andrew Tate Story (Part 3 & 4)
Yeah. I would like to plug that live music is beautiful and Andrew Tate can go fuck himself. At Cool Zone Media and all the things. Robert, do you have anything specifically you would like to plug?

No. Yeah. No, that sounds like a fucking disaster. Look up the partitioning of India.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Just look up the partitioning of India and then think about the fact that India was not a massive part of the global economy, as opposed to something going the way the partition of India went in terms of the violence, the death, the political upheaval, and also it being the entire center of the world's economy and a significant amount of it's like food and medicine.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Okay, so if we're talking about like, they use the term Legion, so I assume they're talking about like Great Crusade through Horus Heresy era. Let's see.

So I would have to say from aesthetics then, but I don't really find any of like the fiction that focuses on them particularly interesting.

Yeah. Seems like an island that never made a bad person. So not worth looking into, probably. Yeah. Yeah. I assume we will. It's just like there's a lot of countries we haven't done bastards on. Sure. But definitely we will get an Aussie. Don't worry, folks. Part of why I haven't is the dollop guys do such a good job of hitting Australian weird pieces of shit.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
So I do think like there's a good place for people who like the kind of thing I do to find that the dollop has a lot of great fucked up Australia stories.
Behind the Bastards

Yeah, working on them now.

I don't know. Like, they all do such different things. Like, in terms of the one I own, I guess the one that I shoot deer with, in terms of, like, from a, I guess, emotional standpoint, the very first gun I ever bought was a 1917 Lee-Enfield Mark III. Beautiful, old World War I era bolt-action rifle, just like an actually attractive rifle.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
like piece of history i have a mauser c96 that is enjoyable for the same reason although not a gun that can safely be used unless you are directly on a range because sometimes when you attempt to take it off safety it fires so it is not allowed to be in the same room as bullets unless we are at a gun range but is a very fun piece of history as well
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I really like the gun that I carry, a P365XL Sig Sauer. Great handgun, super comfortable, super easy to conceal. I shoot it almost every week and feel very comfortable with it. You know, I think I could...

Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
handle most of its basic functions in the dark with my eyes closed aside from aiming i feel good about that in terms of like what i enjoy shooting most recreationally nothing beats an ak-74 i've got an ak-74 with a wooden foregrip and a wire folding stock that thing is a hoot
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Just kind of us constantly being behind on everything, and then it happened by accident.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Part of the genesis of it would be that when 2020 was going on, you and I had not really envisioned much beyond, you know, we've got Worst Year Ever. That's doing well. We've got Bastards. That's doing well.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Yeah, we're going to keep doing probably every year. We'll do one or two. Robert will go travel somewhere or two places, do one or two limited 10 episode series, and we'll keep doing Bastards. And, you know, that'll be it. That'll be good. Then the riots happened and.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
One of the things that occurred with that is I covered that very heavily, both in terms of articles that I wrote for a variety of publications, in terms of stuff for what was at the time our regular news show and in Bastards. And by the end of the year, I was absolutely burnt out. And to the extent that I became aware of, I won't be able to do this the next time something big happens.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Enough of me has been spent. And also it shouldn't be me. Like I'll go crazy. I'll develop even worse takes. Like it's just bad. Like one of the things I have an issue with, and I'm not going to like bring up names or critique people, but I think it's always a mistake when you build a news network centered or like a news platform centered around a guy. Yeah.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
So what we were started talking, you know, late in 2020, early 2021, and like, we need to bring in other people and develop them and give them platforms so that whatever the next big things are, we have people who are able to cover them. with the dedication they deserve without just burning me or another individual person out by putting, you know, too much on their shoulders at once.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
So that was kind of the thinking that led us there.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, and then the company was like, hey, we'll offer you more money if you do this thing that sounds like a nightmare and have a daily news show.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And we said, I would rather kill myself. And then they said, but you can hire your friends. And then we said, well, actually, that sounds a lot better. Exactly.

Hey, Robert. Hey, Sophistopheles. Sophterdammerung. The ring of the Sophterlungan. I was trying to do like the ring of the Nibelungan, but Sophie, I don't actually know how to make that work. Also, not really a joke. Just me putting your name into things. How are you doing? Are you good?
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
The gist of it is I have a doc. I read through. So first, if there's a book and there usually is or more than one book, I read through the book or relevant portions of the book. Sometimes you don't have to read the whole book because, you know, it just deals with your guy for a couple of chapters. And I highlight shit.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I copy and paste the highlighted shit and I organize it by generally if I if I have my shit together and I will have like a childhood, you know, young adulthood thing. Early career, major crimes, yada, yada, yada. And I'll paste in the different parts with a list of which source it's from. And I do the same thing with highlighted and cut and pasted portions of articles.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And I organize that by timeframe. And then I have that doc in one window. And I have a word doc in the other and I go through it and I like write it. I look through like, okay, it's early life. Here's all the different sources on his early life. Here are all. And I look through them and I'm like, these are the different things that I find most interesting from every source.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And I just kind of write them out in a way that makes sense. I try to make sure I quote every source that gives me a significant amount of info one or more times so that I'm making it very clear.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
This is where the original info came from because I'm very rarely doing all of the original research on these guys So I want to make it clear that like, you know If I'm you know this portion where I'm talking about this part of his life It you know generally came mostly from this source or for this source in this source, right?

My favorite dinosaur was always an Iguanodon. Big Iguanodon guy. Huge Iguanodon fan. Love him. Love him. Because, like, it's the dinosaur equivalent of, like, a fucking Guido pulling a switchblade in a New York alley. Like, that's just cool that there were dinosaurs who had that vibe where they're just like, hey, motherfucker, I'm just going to cut your ass, you know? I love a fucking Iguanodon.

Oh, you're my favorite part. I guess that you know what you're doing and handle all of the things that I would never be able to handle that. Yeah. Is that a sensible thing to say? So I have no idea. I don't know the answer to that question. I only know how to do the one thing.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I was just trying to be specific about the nature of our working relationship, which is that I do one thing and you do many things.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Yes. I mean, definitely. Sure. Yeah, we'll do more. I need to actually do probably before the next South Africa episode. I need to do like maybe Ian Banks, like a more dedicated Rhodesia episode. Like Rhodesia comes up a lot, but I haven't just done a I mean, we did Cecil Rhodes episode. But I haven't just done like, I think Ian Banks was his name, the last president dude of, or Ian Smith.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Sorry, Ian Smith. Why would I say Ian Banks? Yeah, Ian Smith, the fucking, yeah, leader of Rhodesia. We'll do him soon. Yeah. We'll do another South African guy too, but I think we're going to do Rhodesia next first.

Paul F. Tompkins. We'd love to have Paul back on. Would be happy to have Ed Helms back on for one that's a little bit more fun.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I want to say something about Ed because we get offers from like famous people a lot and without like naming any names, sometimes we make attempts that don't wind up as episodes because when they realize what the show is and how different this is that they need to sit here for two or three hours that we're going to be really going into detail that often we're talking about things from like a more radical political lens, they get uncomfortable because it's
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
you know, maybe something they view as dangerous for their career or whatever. And Ed Helms, who I don't think really knew much about us coming into the show.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
He listened to an episode, maybe. But he sat down and I come in with fucking a harder episode to be a fun guest on, Curtis Yarvin. And it is immediately down to clown. So I was, you know, I have respect for that.

Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
It's too early to tell where things are going to end. But obviously, I mean, it looks like the Turks are going to be allowed to continue to bomb as Israel has been bombing Rojava and the United States isn't going to do anything. It's unclear if the U.S. is going to even stand up for Kobani in any meaningful way.

I don't have a nice kratom lemonade recipe. I have been doing kratom so long that I don't give a shit. I just pour it in water. I pour it in soda. I mix it. I don't give a fuck. Don't do that. It's gross.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
But it's also I don't really want to say too much because all of this is happening right now. I'm very concerned. You know, obviously, there's no chance of things getting better in Syria, period. without Assad gone, so I'm glad that he's gone, but what that means for Rojava is still very much unclear to this point, you know? It's... It's a scary time.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I would say the one thing that I can say that is comforting to those of you who are likewise scared is that it's really always been a very scary time. There hasn't been an easy or very safe period of the revolution, and they've continued holding on.

You don't get into Ska. Ska finds you, baby. And Ska found me one beautiful day when I was 19 years, well, 17 years old, something like that. When somebody posted, I had become a fan of the band Real Big Fish because of the movie Basketball, which I enjoyed as a kid. And I posted about it online and someone said, kid, let me show you something better.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I'll say this. Here's what I'll say. I'm going to give you first the responsible advice, and then I'm going to give you the the person who uses Kratom advice, right? The responsible advice is that Kratom is something that can and that in the vast majority of cases will be used responsibly. It is not easy to become problematically addictive to for most people.

And they sent me a link to where there was a torrent for Somewhere in the Between. I think it was Somewhere in the Between. Might have been Keys B. Nights. That was my first Streetlight Manifesto album. I don't know. It was one of the two. But Streetlight Manifesto is my favorite album. Band, probably. Thomas Kalnacki is probably my favorite songwriter.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
It goes back and forth between him and Warren Zevon. And in terms of bands, it goes back and forth between Streetlight and the Cat Empire. I don't know. It kind of depends on my mood sometimes.

Outside of obviously Ed Zitron's great tech journalism, the guys at 404 Media do really good stuff. The Defector I like. I'm interested in a lot of these newer outlets. Yeah. Yeah. That's some of what I'd suggest. Obviously, you know, there's certain things that like the BBC, there's certain things they do very well.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
War crimes in Africa, you can often find some really good coverage first in like BBC's Africa Eye. There's certain things Al Jazeera does very well and obviously like certain things that they don't. So there's no like this is the best one place to go for all of the news in the world because that really doesn't exist. Sure.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
It's more a matter of like coming to an understanding of like the shortcomings of and also coming to an appreciation of like which specific journalists are worth following from place to place, you know?
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I don't have an answer to that. It's just a thing I said once on a podcast for reasons that elude me.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I've heard of Chapel Rowan. People are angry at her for some reason.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Okay. Are we reliant upon Chapel Rowan to fix American politics? Because I don't know her, but that seems like an unfair burden to place upon someone who I'm going to assume is mostly known for singing and dancing. Is that more or less what she does? I'm not saying that to be mean. No.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Yeah, I guess I'll say Sabrina Carpenter too then. Sure.

If you are someone who is inclined to abuse painkillers, it is very easy to develop a dependency on Kratom.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Can't prove either of those things.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
now a dependency on kratom is not nearly the monster that a dependency on opiates especially heroin is and if you are dependent on opiates or heroin kratom can allow you to get off of that because if you stop taking heroin you get horribly dope sick kratom stops you from being dope sick and it is i think critical to remain widely available largely as a result of that
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
However, if you start taking Kratom and you take it every day, you will need to take more and you will notice potentially this has never really been my case because I take breaks regularly. I've never had any issue going overseas for a couple of weeks and not taking it, you know, taking three or four days off every week or two. Some people do.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
You should be aware that that's a thing and that it is a capital D drug. I would say it's not as safe as marijuana, although if you have a family history of like schizophrenia, it certainly does not seem to have any of the kind of like ability to incite psychotic breaks that that does.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
but it's harder on your body, you know, than particularly like consuming marijuana in a way that doesn't involve smoking. But it's not as hard on your body based on all of the evidence that exists, for example, drinking, particularly like if you're talking about someone who's using Kratom daily versus drinking daily, you're almost certainly better off using Kratom daily.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I think that's a generally responsible way to categorize it. The ways that you can do it is you take a powder that is just the ground up flour. It is very hard to hurt yourself with just the powder. You would have to take such a massive quantity of it. However, just like with marijuana, people now make extracts and those extracts are extremely concentrated.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
It is much easier to harm yourself if you are using an extract or to take much more than you want. Now, kratom, an overdose, does not tend to, like if you take far too much kratom, It doesn't do what, like, heroin does and cause central nervous system depression that'll stop you from breathing, at least not in any of the quantities that, you know, I've seen documentation on.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
But it can be really bad and unpleasant. So I would say if you're going to do it, do something like get a tea, stay away from the extracts. Once you start going down that road, it's very easy to develop much more of a dependency on it. That's my Kratom speech, okay?
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
the Bush administration and the war on Iraq. And part of why I haven't is just like, it's been covered. And I do think maybe now, because there's a lot of like Gen Z people who listen, who maybe weren't around for that. I'm probably overestimating how familiar people are with the shit around that. So maybe that is the kind of thing to get onto.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Now there's just so much to talk about in so many bastards, but it's one of those things I've gone back and forth. Should I just do a John Ashcroft episode? Should I just do a Dick Cheney episode? Well, how do you do that episode? And then like, not cover the rest of it.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I just haven't yet. Like Nixon is the same way. And this was, that's not really an excuse what I just said, because the same is true when talking about like Kissinger's crimes. Cause those Kissinger episodes were also like partly Nixon episodes. Cause you can't talk about what Kissinger did. That's was evil without talking about a number of other evil guys. So I will and should do that.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
It's just all episodes like that are always so much work. And I've picked by battles. Usually, every now and then I will based on like, oh, I think this is really important for a specific reason to get it at this time, right? Like a lot of the fascism-focused ones we've done. But usually it's more like, what do I want to read about right now? What am I interested in?
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Because if I don't do it that way, if I don't let the primary thing that drives me week to week be what do I want to read about and write about, then I will burn out.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
Probably the Lawrence of Arabia episodes.

Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I guess there's a few ways to talk about that. So the first thing I'll just note on the war zone stuff, people make a much bigger deal of that. It comes up because war comes up and particularly some of the wars that I've covered come up. So I bring it up. when I think it's relevant, but like becoming a war zone journalist, no one paid me.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
I just bought plane tickets to places and reached out to people who lived in the area on the internet before I landed. Like, that's all. It was not like I think people talk about it as if there's some like special forces training you've got to do. And no, I was just like a guy who landed with his girlfriend and a camera.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And that's how we did most of it until like, you know, outside of like Syria and Myanmar. That's how I did most of my war zone reporting.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
In terms of like how I stopped being a conservative kid from North Texas who wanted to be in the military, I mean, a lot of it was encountering drugs at age 19 and then also starting to make friends with young women my age and slightly older than me who I realized were much more fun to spend time around than the army. Sure. And yeah, all of that, you know, kind of...

Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
collaborated in a radicalization process, you know, not even much of a rat, just like stop me from being like a proto fascist little kid. I was mostly just sort of like in terms of temperament, a libertarian, but I would always vote Democrat because the Republicans were obviously maniacs.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And I was just like, I don't agree with the Democrats about everything, but I guess I'll vote for them because these other people are crazy. And I didn't really think a lot about politics until, I mean, it was Ukraine and,
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And following the Syrian refugee trail in 2015, and then Iraq in 2016, and Standing Rock in 2016, you know, I'd been at Occupy in New York in 2011 for a little while, but it was really, I mean, Standing Rock was kind of one of the most radicalizing single things I experienced, where I started being like, yeah, I'm generally a progressive, I guess, with some libertarian-y tendencies to...
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition
And I wouldn't say I was an anarchist at that, but I started reading more and thinking more and recognizing that, well, I agree with a lot of this analysis more. Sure. It was still years before I really identified strongly in that direction.
Behind the Bastards
Part Two: Behind the Bastards Q&A: Year's End Edition

Yeah, for me, it's a two-part answer. The first part is that I genuinely give a shit about everything that we put out. And what we do is not really... While it is a job, it matters so much.

My favorite this year were definitely James' series from The Darien Gap. That was an incredible series. I'm so unbelievably proud of it. James had been trying to do that work for a long time. And I'm happy that we were able to fund it. And James was able to do the incredible reporting that he did. I'm also quite proud of Robert Garrison and I surviving the RNC and DNC series.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
I had a great time. Fooling the worst people in the world.

The DNC was really a huge bummer. And then Mia's covered some of the most important labor stories that like nobody covers.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
And like without those genuinely like nobody covers like small labor stories or big labor stories. And she's always on top of that beat. And yeah, I also really just like Robert's Don't Panic episode. Something. Yeah. Some great writing, my friend. I answered. Now everybody else has to. I'll start with Mia.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
Jesus. Jesus motherfucking. Is this going to be coming out after that?
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
The amount of places that Garrison and I snuck into at the RNC. A time.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
An experience, to say the least. Any thoughts on the proposed 2028 general strike? How are people feeling about that? I'll start with Mia.

And lastly, do each of you have, you know, a movie or a book or something you would like to recommend?
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
Awesome. I just have one movie to recommend, and it's one of my favorite movies of all time. The original 1973, 72, 73, 73, The Wicker Man. Not the fucking Nicolas Cage version, the original version. And if you have a local theater that plays old movies, a lot of times they'll play it in theaters, and I highly recommend that experience. It's really fun, especially at the end.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
I see it in theaters or watch it at least once or twice a year and vibes are good. Yeah, that's it for our Q&A episode. Thanks for submitting and goodbye.

Welcome to It Could Happen Here. This is our 2025 predictions episode. We were starting to bicker off about what we predicted last year and I was talking about the things we predicted. And one of the things I predicted early on, I was like, I think Kim Kardashian will be part of the Trump cabinet. And like, honestly, goals. Yeah. At this point.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
But I'm not that far off, though, because essentially what he has done is he's basically tried to go for people that are good on TV. It's true. It's true. And like going off of that reality TV energy.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
God. All right. Mia Wong's here. I was hoping to bring Garrison's here. James Stout's here. And the dishonorable Robert Evans is also here.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
So far, trust me, she did all those things when Trump was elected the first time where all of a sudden she was like with other lawyers trying to get people out of jail by utilizing Trump.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
That's the Kardashian way, distant and talkative. Yeah.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
God, I haven't thought about Kanye in so many months. It was really nice.

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

All right, this is the It Could Happen Here Q&A episode. We've got, what are we calling you now, Robert Evans? What's your title?
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
I tried to make Robert watch that on the way to, oh, was it the DNC or the RNC? I don't remember. But he wouldn't watch it with headphones. And so it was just on, on the plane. I think it was the DNC. That's terrible.
Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
A prediction that I have is that Trump basically tries to move a lot of the main time he spends to Mar-a-Lago versus the White House. I feel like he's going to make Mar-a-Lago some national monument type shit so that he can take whatever the fuck documents he wants from the White House to Mar-a-Lago and spend as much time there as he wants and make that a national residence or some shit.
Behind the Bastards

I'm not even going to say the name of the app again because I'm afraid being labeled as an old Garrison's embarrassed by me, I can tell. I didn't say that. But you thought it. But you thought it. I didn't think that. You did. Any advice for someone with a desire to do some hobby or freelance journalism in the coming few years?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
I had my annual physical today because otherwise our insurance screws us over. And my doctor was like, you should try to get as many prescriptions filled before the end of the year, before things come up, just in case. There you go. And, you know, that's not terrible advice.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 164
So that will be happening hopefully very soon into 2025. I will update everybody as soon as that's possible. And I'm so sorry it's taken so long. I want you to know I have worked so unbelievably hard on this. Miserably hard.

Reach out, and we're going to pray for Sophie. Lord God, we just thank you so much for what you have done in the life of Sophie. God, sometimes we cry out and we say, why? Why?

S05 Ep06: Human Timebomb
So we got into endocrinology. The provider was great. She was like, some puberty signs. Let's go ahead and do some blood work. Let's go ahead and see where she's at in this process. And we will schedule for her to have an implant put in that would basically delay puberty. And is that what they recommended? So there was two recommendations. They either said we can do a monthly shot
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep06: Human Timebomb
Like a monthly injection, or we can put in, like, it's kind of a little, like a bigger needle, but they just insert like a little, it's like an inch thing in the back of her arm. Oh, okay. That would then deliver medication. Okay. For an entire year. Okay.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep06: Human Timebomb
So when I said that to them, I said, listen, needles, when we think about her underlying condition, that any pain or like big, huge emotions, that's going to trigger these other episodes. Right. Even though doing an implant is a little more invasive, it really isn't that big of a deal. I think that would be the better. The provider was like, yeah, like that sounds like the right thing to do. Okay.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep06: Human Timebomb
So we were going down that line and she was like, we need to confirm with lab or just to make sure her levels are off. So her levels came back. She called me. She's like, they are off. So we will go ahead and move forward. I just want to do one more thing. I want to do, um,
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep06: Human Timebomb
ultrasound testing just to make sure she doesn't have like an ovarian cyst so they did the the um like it's like a bladder and ovary ultrasound okay and that came back fine so i was like great and so then i thought okay let's get this thing on the schedule and then she's like oh now we need to do an mri because i want to make sure she doesn't have a pituitary tumor or mass and i'm like okay this is interesting because the plan keeps changing like you you've told me that
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep06: Human Timebomb
Precocious puberty is common with neurological disorders, but okay, I'm not gonna complain about an MRI. But it requires her to be sedated, which that is not an easy thing for a kid with AHC.
