    Is there really 2 hours and 18 minutes worth of content devoted to Scott Adams losing his goddamn mind? I don’t know if I have that kind of time to invest in that douche canoe.

      I really enjoyed it. But I was also playing rocket league or driving when I listened to it. Behind the bastards is moderately funny so it’s an easy listen.

      Having listened to some other Behind the Bastards I’d say it’s really an entertainment show that uses their topics as a basis to joke around than a serious biography wherein explaining the subject is the primary goal.

      They’re usually fun and you’ll tend to learn something new but it’s not really ever going ot be a serious deep dive.

        Sounds a bit like Drunk History! Though I think I’d have to take that one with a bit more salt

        I keep hearing about the podcast and it sounds great. Could you recommend any outstanding episodes to check out? My interests are wide so anything is on the table

          I’ve not long listened to it so probably can’t make great recommendations of classic episodes but I enjoyed their series of episodes about Vince McMahon titled: “Histories Greatest Bastard!” (partly because it features Seanbaby.) I’ve really just dipped in an out of a couple of random episodes otherwise.
