Is it cool to talk about when we think guests are bad as long as we don't reach out to the guest directly?

Yeah it's fine to think a guest sucks, it becomes bizarre when you follow that up with emailing the guest that you think they suck.

There are guests on BtB and a couple other things I listen to that will make me skip the episode. I would not tell them that, because it's weird.

Hunting someone down, who has no connection to you, just to tell them "you suck" is... at best in very bad taste. At worst, borders into obsessive. It definitely shows issues with boundaries.

................... As someone who's had this happen to them. It sucks.

Once I took a look at Jamie’s work credits I realized that she leans into performative absurdist comedy. Which means, of course, she’s actually Andy Kauffman.

Today's 9/11 episode reminds me of how I saw the WTC before 9/11. As two big buildings that were in a lot of establishing shots: typically with the Statue of Liberty. Not the heart and soul of Capitalism, which was the NYSE.

Trump Tower, Mall of America, and some bank headquarters skyscrapers would be on the list too, but certainly not the WTC.

The Columbus series seemed to end abruptly. I know there was a whole lot more genocide and mayhem left to discuss, but instead the last thing Robert covered was Columbus’s deliberately writing down his route incorrectly so that nobody could intercept him/get in on the pillaging action for themselves.

Might there be a Part 3? I get a little frustrated when a topic gets more than two episodes without that being made clear at the start, because I like to listen to them all together.

The Kissinger 6-parter with the week's break in the middle was a downright painful wait.

Looks like you were right! Part 3 just dropped. The way Robert talked at the end of part 2, I thought it was over for some reason.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

i have seen him getting picked up by the right and parts of the "left" on twitter in the last years or so. its loving weird.



id love to see Roberts do an episode on anthony Comstock since he kinda "invented" alot of the modern anti abortion/conception and anti obscenity poo poo as we know it in america.

definitely don’t use it for every episode because some subjects would probably be best sans air horn, but we absolutely need more air horn overall.

Prop is smart, often insightful, and an overall decent guest, but if you were making rules for the official Behind the Bastards drinking game, one would have to be "Prop says 'you know what I'm sayin'?'" It would only be worth a single sip.

Prop seems to be one of the rare guests who regularly surprises Robert with his insights and experiences, it makes the show much more interesting and he can ramble and use filler words all he wants.

I only had a problem on the second episode of Cracktober where Prop kept trying to make a bit out of Ollie North's plane hangar and it wasn't congealing, but he just kept going and cutting off Robert. Sometimes you gotta know when to bail out of a joke.
