Rule #0: Criticism of Sophie will not be tolerated and may result in a permanent ban. Yes, forever.
Rule #1: No fascists. No tankies. No exceptions.
Rule #2: Criticism of guests is against policy and will be removed. This was request by Robert Evans on the Reddit community. Also because they are guests and we should make them feel welcome, because we are at least 40% not assholes.
Rule #3: Be nice to each other. You can argue all you want but you can't fight.
Rule #4: No threats. No encouragement or glorification of violence. Being happy about dead Hitler is fine, but you can't plan Nazi assassinations here.
Rule #5: Content must be related to Behind the Bastards and Cool Zone Media content or other Robert Evans projects. The extended universe, for example content by Jamie Loftus, Katy Stoll and Cody Johnston, Jason Pargin, is probably okay, too.
Rule #6: Posts about ads on the podcast may be remo
I went to the same art school Thomas Kinkade did, and he even came to speak at my school a handful of times while I was there.
Even back then I hated his work so much I knew I would never like the man, so I never went to his talks and tried my best to avoid even looking at his works.
I am so glad to hear that Robert Evans decided to cover Thomas Kinkade on Behind The Bastards. Fuck Thomas Kinkade.
Thank all that is good he's dead. Yet another grave to add to the bucket lists of graves to defile.
So I think I recognize one of the voices in the podcast that iHeart is humping" employees only" from some other podcasts, does anyone know how to find credits on iHearts terrible site?
I think it's Jared Logan from some of the Glass Cannon pods, but I can't for the life of me find it.
I did some major sleuthing (checked Reddit) and the prevailing theory appears to be that it's about the Piketon Massacre podcast. So here's my best transcript without the bleeps.
Gare: Trump's Rosie O'Donnell moment.
Robert: You know what bifurc-wha-we're gonna have to check that one out. You know what bifurcated
Sophie: Wait, wait, is he gonna c-is, is Trump's Rosie O'Donnell moment that he's also a Casey Anthony truther?
Robert: Uh I hope so. Ummm. 'Cause-Because I am.
Sophie: What what.
Robert: And you know who else is a Casey Anthony truther, Sophie?
Sophie: Uhh, this ad for the Piketon Massacre Podcast that might come up?
Robert: There's a non-zero chance that we get an ad for the Piketon Massacre Podcast. Here we go.
Also, announcing that I am opening a new Behind the Bastards Community over on Lemmy.world because the mods here seem to be inactive or have abandoned their accounts. /c/[email protected]
There was an off-hand joke in the most recent episode about this, and if I remember correctly, there have been similar jokes before.
Prof. David Kaiser, an MIT professor who is both a physicist and a historian (aka the coolest guy possible) has done extensive research on this, and his work is particularly interesting because he has the expertise in all the relevant fields do dig through the archives.
It's been a long time since I've read him, but he concludes that the physics was widely known outside of secret government operations, and the fundamental challenges to building an atomic bomb are engineering challenges -- things like refining uranium or whatever. In other words, knowing that atoms have energy inside them which will be released if it is split was widely known, and it's a very, very, very long path engineering project from there to a bomb.
This cultural understanding that physicists working for the Manhattan project built the bomb is actually precisely because the engine
