    There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
    New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

      "The Gang Swears Revenge on Khrushchev" would be a really fun idea for one of those gimmick episodes.
      I'm imagining that it's just an escalating prank war against Nikita Khrushchev that gets complicated by Stalin's insistence that they drink liquor every time they run into him.

      ​​@@KS-PNWBirria is a Mexican braised meat, most often beef, cooked in a stock made with dried chillis. Also often served with the stock for dipping like a French dip. Though, for birra, they often take the veg used to make the stock and blitz both together so they don't waste anything.
      It's good, and I think dried chillis can be shipped anywhere. So look up a recipe. It really doesn't have to be beef either. I've done it with pork and chicken.

    4:38 Robert, DO NOT bring up Chiligate, I had to live through Chiligate, it was awful. I use a wheelchair and some insane weirdo compared offering someone homemade chili to grabbing a chairer by their wheelchair's handles (which, unlike offering your neighbor food, is assault) and when I said WTF, their insane friend came and screamed at me and told me I was ableist and harassing them.

  • @GaldirEonai

    Oh god the chili drama. Which then went directly into "threatening to kill someone's pet pig" drama along with other equally charming offshoots.

    • @emexdizzy
      @emexdizzy Месяц назад +4

      Yeah, I've actually to chronolog the entire web of dramas a few times because I was targeted lightly a few times by the pig-murder-threatener. The trouble is that there are so many bad actors involved in a sprawling network of mess that trying to explain any of it leads to a red string a thumbtacks style scenario. Basically, the chili lady is the same lady who owns the pig, whose name is Rufus, and it was one of the crazy clique leaders threatened to kill and eat her pig. I think the pig threats happened happened before "Chiligate" took off, which I witnessed, to my horror, live.
      I saw the original chili posts _before_ the crazies found them, perfectly wholesome posts about neighborly concern and community behavior that were making my day. Then came insane drama-trolling. I remember one of the deeply unpleasant people involved in boosting that drama was defending an analogy that compared "offering your neighbor chili" to the act of "grabbing a wheelchair user by their chair handles without consent" which is assault, and as a chairer myself, I responded with WTF, and then some unhinged whackadoo came swinging for me and screaming that I was harassing their disabled friend by being upset assaults I've endured as a chairer were being compared to food-sharing.

      I'm only 19 minutes in, but I have a few counters to the points you made to timestamps I've passed. The first I have nothing, I don't speak Russian. The second, if you google "what is a dacha" the results say what they refer to, a small summer home common in post-soviet states. The Soviet Union was a federal state that oversaw a multi-ethnic, multinational population. If having semi-autonomous states makes it a non-empire, then America is not an empire. If having representation for minority populations makes it not an Empire then Austria-Hungary was not an Empire. This is a comedic history podcast. That's going to lead to some irony. They haven't said that Lenin ordered the Tsar be killed, only that revolutionaries did, and that can taint a revolution. I don't necessarily agree with that, but either way nobody here seems to have said Lenin ordered the killing. If he says it right after I unpause at 18:51 I'll take that L.
