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.

Something to understand in evangelical circles: You get a free pass on conversion. Not only is it a wiping of the slate clean, but the worse you were before your salvation, the more miraculous your salvation is. It gets competitive at times. The more of a monster you were before Jesus entered your heart, the more powerful the Jesusing must have been.
Sometimes you can pull it off again after a major scandal, but usually it takes a couple of years for people to move on.
@@found13 Well, most of it comes from good (?) old-fashioned arrogance, narcissism, and sociopathy...
@@MMuraseofSandvich A cure for narcissism and sociopathy must desperately be found
Basically for Born Again Christians every day but Sunday is the purge and on Sunday your slate is wiped clean as you are born again as an innocent. It's some wild shit.
I love that Cancelvania is now a term!
For the algorithm.

33:14 Not sure which year this originally released, but John Oliver proved just how easy it was to start a church.
Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption!
I'm sorry, if you killed one of my pets and sent it to me in a stew, you're not living to see the next sunrise.
Stupid comment for the day: Silver bullets are for werewolves, not vampires. You need a wooden stake for vamps. 😉 (Hope this helps the algorithm)
Nope. Silver kills vamps. In fact, silver didn't have anything to do with werewolves until Hollywood made the original 'The Wolf Man'.
Pretty much everything you 'know' about werewolves is an invention of Hollywood.

I cant believe you dont have more subscribers.
Cancelvania is a hell of a thing (I'm subbed and love this pod btw)
"defined the traditional family as involving two heterosexual parents"
So... a pair of brothers who adopt a child between them would qualify as a "traditional family" if both of them are heterosexual? Am I understanding that correctly?
There was a very angry "Fuck's sake!" from Sophie at 1:30! I think I get why she often sounds so fed up with Robert all the time.
If you've never seen Christopher Hitchens speak on Jerry Falwell youre doing yourself a disservice.
25:03 well .. maybe thats how we all learn empathy ... its just most of us do the tourtureing in kindergarten...
Well he is correct about the legal ones....
Religion is such a blight to the modern world. The curse of the old world that refuses to die.
Fuckin Orrin Hatch. As someone who is from Utah, and is named Orrin, it's frustrating. No, I am not named after him, or Orrin Porter-Rockwell. I am named after Orrin Sackett, from the Louis L'Amour novels
8:01 Colonel Harland Sanders started KFC the same way. Only he left the petroleum distribution behind.😮
2:00
I...uh, I kinda bet.
I guess anyone can be a pastor if a church will hire them. But many have masters egress in theology
24:39 So this is a fundamental misunderstanding: humans aren’t really born with what we consider empathy. It’s largely ingrained via social interaction. Typically a lot of it is taught directly from everything from parents to teachers to Captain Planet, repeated over and over till it sticks; but also the mere necessity of communal exchange conditions us to consider others because we need things from them and thus it behooves us to understand the things they need from us… things like “altruism” are more complicated, but giving a shit about adherence to social contracts is borderline universal not because it’s instinctual, rather because it’s practical. Thus the problem isn’t that those raised rich or by degenerates didn’t have empathy “driven out of them”; rather, it was never instilled in the first place. If a child is taught (whether intentionally or by observation) that playing by the rules and caring about others is for suckers/that they aren’t beholden to the the rules/feelings of others if you have the sort of money/clout they’re born into, they aren’t ever conditioned to give a damn.
Famous bastards needing to “learn empathy” as adults is indeed an extremely common thing because of this… but you’d also maybe be surprised how many decent or downright saintly people might have had similar “turning points” as adults, because it’s pretty common for anyone who didn’t have empathy properly “imprinted” (common in abuse survivors, including the ones who grow past it). Basically, almost every monster you meet didn’t properly learn empathy as a child (and despite claims, never went onto as an adult either in many cases), but not everyone with a stunted sense empathy in their youth grow up to be monsters… it’s all a learned trait, so you *can* learn it at a late age (just like everything from reading to foreign languages: it’s a bit more of an uphill struggle).
I’d personally posit this makes it all the more damning when grown-ass men and women still haven’t learned how to care about others… in most cases, it’s not like something in their neurology is outright broken, that they had some part of them snuffed out, they just never had those social lessons drilled into them as kids and haven’t bothered to pick them up in however many years they’ve been an independent adult.
I won’t say it’s fair or just or that you have to be patient with anyone using other people/the real world as their “learning experience” (you know what’s a great crash course for them about shitty behaviors/attitudes? Suffering consequences for them!), just that it’s sort of the reality of life… we’re a really whack species sometimes.
Fuckin Orin Hatch...
Titus Andronicus is a great example of feeding one one's own relatives
I love the caddy back and forth about how awful Robert is, but it'd be really nice to know if Sophie and the guest both have a safe-word in case he takes it too far.
You have some interesting themes. What a shame.

Or Dough-vid and Goliath
Just starting listening now, but I will comment that, as an ex-evangelical, the casting of Vincent D'Onofrio as Falwell in the Eyes of Tammy Faye movie a few years ago filled me with such weird glee, or at least hope that he would be portrayed in a way that I liked. D'Onofrio is quite skilled at playing someone both physically and emotionally intimidating (his performances as Kingpin show that). Casting D'Onofrio = okay, we know this guy is a MASSIVE asshole, but needs to be a slightly more subtle asshole. (He is in fact a bastard in that movie. As are most people in that movie.)
the founding fathers were part of the british empire - the founding fathers were the colonial overlords - so the breaking away from england did not change anything - i find it amazing that people do not understand this simple fact
America tends to heavily mythologise their history. The founding fathers are the equivalent of a canon of saints. Even in the name - it sets them apart from just regular politicians.
I find it fascinating that pilgrims from the mayflower were radicals who came to America because they were told to cool the fuck down.
The Wealthy and the religious being in control seems to be baker into America's roots
They wrote "all men are created equal" but meant "all white males".

Great episode
I know it's not meant to be, but it really seems like throwung bagels with a sling could go anti-semitic real quick.
