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.

"At least he's married to an adult" - that's about the highest compliment Meatball Ron is eligible for 😂
I had a job in an industrial warehouse that required safety boots. I was also required to buy them with my own money and was not compensated (entry level position and all hires were technically employed by a 3rd party contracting company), so I 100% believe DeSantis when he says he had to buy his own shit. Would've been nice if he realized that he was fleeced by his employer, but I suppose he wouldn't be a rightwing dipshit if he did.
yeah, thinking the regulation was the problem rather than required work attire not being provided by the employer is such a weird take. like i can understand thinking that at the time but getting older and _still_ feeling that way is so weird.
Ron DeSantis is what happens when you take the illogical and spiteful cruelty of Matt Walsh and combined it with the social grace of Ted Cruz.
listening to his book excerpts, he comes across more like Ben Shapiro. Searching for outrage and making it up if he can't find it or blowing some minor aspect out of proporition or blaming the wrong target for it. Like, he spent the entire time railing against OSHA and not his boss who should have purchased safety equipment for him.
@@JO_______ He doesn't sound like the brightest tool in the shed to be honest. As it sounds like he cannot establish cause and effect.
@@darrens3 , he's certainly done his part to dismantle the common stereotype that people with antisocial and/or narcissistic features are magnetically charismatic super-geniuses. :D
My great aunt is a nun, and shares very similar views to Ron's aunt. It's genuinely refreshing to see people in such a bad system genuinely trying to be good people.
As an Italian-American and Trump hater, "meatball Ron" makes me laugh every time. It's just great stuff.
As an AOC fapper, I'm with you
I went to HS in the 80s. One of the teachers married a former student the summer after she graduated.
We knew it was fucking creepy and weird even "way back then."
I grew up in the 80s-90s and yeah, it was the same for me. There were always the jokes about a female teacher banging a male student and how "cool" that was; but the inverse (male teacher, female student) was always viewed as creepy and weird. Hell, the Police even did a song about it...
37:47 that primal, gutteral desperate cry against incredibly obvious bullshit is SO VISCERAL, I felt it in ALL of my perineums 😂😂😂
Absolute master class in shit that didn't happen, holy crap.
As a Floridian I rather have Nathan Explosion of Dethklok be governor of Florida, at least his music is cool
at least you'd get "Scrambles the Death Dealer" as a Hurricane name
"All state executions will henceforth be carried out via bloodrocution."
@SgtKaneGunlock They'll save 'Dr. Rockzo the Cocaine Clown' for the next Category 5.
Pickles >> meatballs
@@leonardpaulson Pickles needs to be governor of Wisconsin. He's the Cheesehaad State's most accomplished son since Ed Gein.
So, 10 minutes in, and through my own research, I now know that DeSantis was (officially) born exactly 1 year and 2 days before Flo Rida, meaning that either DeSantis aged quickly, or Flo Rida has slowed aging. But, I think I might have found a potential date for DeSantis's birth, Jan 24, 2008, a year after his break-through single Low, when Flo Rida had a show in Jacksonville Florida
Great to hear!
While Ronnie didn't go with the D joke, back in 1972 either some Nixon supporters or some pranksters created the innuendo-heavy slogan: *"They can't lick our Dick"*
If you don't believe me just google _cant lick our dick nixon_
Apparently "can't lick" can also mean "can't beat" (in a fight or competition)
I remember seeing similar bumper stickers saying "Lick Bush in '88" when GHW Bush was running in 1988.
I remember a story about the equivalent of a nielsen family in Sweden, they used to tune their box to impopular channels and shows, because they felt sorry for them
Florida Man fights [police/alligator/hurricane/Disney], the outcome is always the same.
Drunkenness and just a little bit of blood?
God I pray that Disney doesn't back down and fricken wrecks him
The Republicans cannot run a Ronald after a Donald. This can't be real
Right before the nickname bit I thought....man, I dunno..."Dirty Cody?" and then Cody said it ahhahahaha
Howdy cowdy!
On Ron's apparent handsomeness while in the Navy. What you have to understand is how absolute dogshit most people look under military regs. As an officer, Ron appears to have had more leeway with the hair regulations which is honestly all it takes.
I'm kinda upset that nobody got "Crazy with a K", that was a really clever joke lol
(she's playing on "Katie, with a K")
Katie being wholesome and supportive of Cody? Everything I know is a lie.
she DID save him from Warmbo Warmbo Warmbo today
It's a long con.
I dunno, I think she could have lent more support to his Monet joke.
Good to know this is on UA-cam. The Spotify version of this episode has some sound problems. I couldn't figure out why Robert was talking over/ignoring katy the whole episode.
+ no ads
Oh! So there was an issue there. This is the first episode I've heard of this podcast and it was driving me nuts. Like why were they all talking over each other it was unlistenable haha
As someone who had to go through a few name pronunciations during K-12 and college, I can empathize with the desire to just roll with whatever they call you.
EDIT: I think about Limewire on a daily basis. Wish I valued data backup as an 8 year old. PS Limewire is back as some crypto bullshit.
Same, at a certain point you just accept what people can reliably pronounce and that's mostly fine. Though I did once have someone tell me, to my face, that I was mispronouncing my own last name and proceed to explain (incorrectly) the basics of my grandfather's language to me for several minutes.
But other than that, it's usually less hassle to let people pronounce it however.
@@CatHasOpinions734 I have actually used examples like that to explain to older cis people that they already know the standards for how to refer to a trans person without being rude.
Arguing with someone about what their "real" name is? You're the asshole.
Can you imagine the horror of being one of the students who found Ron hot and then realize who he is today? Scarring!
This should be a gold mine.
Only tangentially related, but has he done an episode yet about Texaco, Chevron and Ecuador? I just read a memoir from the lawyer that fought these companies named Pablo Fajardo. This guy's story has plenty of bastards to choose from
Saw the topic, hoped it would feature Cody and Katy. Perfect.
1:02:40 poor Cody, you can hear the stupid smile when he thought of that and everyone just let him sit in it lol
We've all been that Cody 😔
Dunedin, FL is pronounced by the locals as Dun-Eden. As someone who grew up and knew Ron's family, hearing it mispronounced was so grating to my ears lol. But yes, Ron's only actual value he holds in his heart is being anti-abortion due to his Catholic upbringing.
We have a Dunners as well in NZ. It's a gaelic name, means Edinburgh.
It did make my teeth itch a little
As someone who grew up in central Florida, this made me squirm, too. Both are dumb pronunciations, either way.
dunedin sounds like somewhere from LotR
@@zeusjukem9484It's the proper name of the people Aragorn is descended from. They are human, but gifted with long lives and good health.
Edit: So yes, it's Tolkien.
I could literally hear everyone getting back on track from mild dissociation after the ensure story
In the Navy, being sent to Guantanamo has long been a punishment assignment. Nobody wants to go there because you aren't allowed to leave the base ever, it's in Cuba, and we aren't on friendly terms with them.
It is something they threaten malcontents with - "shape up, or we'll send you to Guantanamo."
It is very telling that DeSantis was sent there.
Almost certainly, bare minimum, they needed a JAG and he was the one they were most comfortable sending to this torturous, sucky assignment.
They don't send people who are liked there. Widely disliked, for good reasons... Yeah, those guys get sent there though. Almost exclusively.
Is the "Thai/Thigh food" story not a real thing? The story goes that while Ron was dating, he would deliberately mispronounce "Thai" (pronouncing the "th" as in "the") so that he could weed out women who would correct him. He didn't want to marry anyone how was going to nag, or correct him at least in public.
That is, weed out from the pool of women left who didn't yeet out of there after Date 1. "Thigh food."
Last Week Tonight believed in it enough to include in their piece on DeSantis, and I was hoping it would be included in here lol
Hey! I'm known as Rob and its a great name! Also meatball Ron is only 5 days older than me. Keep up the good work my fellow Robert as well as Sophie, Mr. Cody and Kate E. Why isnt wormbo here ?
He's exploring the outer void with Wormbo Wormbo Wormbo.
The Bobby Fingers UA-cam channel they mention at the end of this clip is awesome.
His Steven Seagull video is absolutely brilliant.
Common thread with a lot of these is having an experience and thinking it applies to the entire world.
Actual tip: instead of meatballs or meatloaf, use a muffin tin to make a bunch of mini meatloaves.
Also, you know what's so tasty to dip meatloaf in? Wishbone French Dressing. The orange stuff... I don't k ow another use for it.
But it is really nice on meatloaf, fr.
meatmuffins, meatfins, meaffins?
@@FakeSchrodingersCatmeat muffins definitely sounds like a euphemism
Funny how Mengele was also described as handsome when he was a sallow husk of a man. The vagaries of the human mind.
Could you please put the original air date in the thumbnail, for the old episode uploads at least? I'm too stupid and useless to read video descriptions and sometimes I get confused.
was pleasantly surprised to hear the bobby fingers shout out at the end, I love that mans work.
Robert plugging him in a previous episode was how i discovered him
When DeSantis was in his 20s, he was fairly handsome. If you look at him in uniform, he's rather easy on the eyes.
Still dead behind in his own eyes though.
Hey, it's the Some More News crew! I genuinely was not expecting this awesome, but retrospectively obvious, collab. Bastards and Smorenew teaming up at last! Maybe now Rob will need to go on SMN or do an episode on warmbo.
The nine part series on warmbo is. Something I would listen to
_When I was six I wanted to be king of the world. Then at seven I learned President of the United States was a real job and had an office in Washington. I was going to have that job. Before I turned eight, I was reconsidering, maybe I wanted to be an astronaut or pilot a space ship, but then one day, this bus full of Philly sports fans came and threw eggs at me, mocking my lofty ambitions and telling me I'll never be President. And that's when I swore to the earth and sky and to NASA and the Space Shuttle program that I was going to show them all. I am going to runfor President on my 35th Birthday. And I'm going to win even if I have to suppress every opposing vote in the country. And then I'm going to laugh as I evict all 1.6 million Philadelphians and turn their beloved city into a 134 square mile parking lot._
"Something with a machete perhaps"
Ole Choppin' Rob
Just an FYI - Dunedin is pronounced "Dun - Eden". I grew up down the road from there as well.
I also didn't realize that Good Ole Puddin' Fingers was my age, which means my HS definitely played against him. I may have even crossed paths with him since I had quite a few friends from his High School.
Gross.
The crossover episode I didn't know I neeeded.
Honestly the main Philly sports guy I know would 100% volunteer for the Weird Kid Egging Corps
My joy regret is not having you read his first book “dreams from our founding fathers” before he scrubbed it from existence 😅
Also.. love the show but “mem-wire” makes me nuts
You are the sassy guru.
Flashbacks to all my classmates in school who called jaguars "jag-wires."
I always like when Katie and Cody are on the show. It's like getting some MORE Some More News
Who did he take the worn out boots from?
We know he didn't use any kind of work boots before that " job"
I like that Ron was the guy who had to hold the piss cups in the air force.
Awwwww yeah, Slurp Juice shout out!
51:15 Feeding Cody wild boar would be a great crossover
On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.
I grew up in the town next to Jill Desantis, and the two towns have a ridiculous hatred for each other that rivals Springfield and Shelbyville in The Simpsons. For just a hint of the tone of the area, in the 1800's, Troy built a very elaborate courthouse to emphasize the fact that they were chosen as the county seat, and the statue at the top of the dome was specifically oriented so that its ass is pointed towards Piqua. This animosity also fuels the longest-running high school football rivalry in the US, the record currently standing at 63-63-1
No no no, you grew up in the town north of CASEY DeSantis nee Black :P
And to everyone else, the factoid about the courthouse is true. Piqua built the Ft. Piqua Hotel (now the public library) in response to the courthouse being built. They wanted to show they could build something as beautiful and extravagant as the courthouse in Troy.
As an unemployed Philly sports fan, where do I sign up?
The loaf IS the strongest shape in nature.
Only recently found this podcast, and just for the Bobbyfingers, shout out you're already a favourite :)
A Bobby Fingers plug. I was not expecting that.
It's Rhonda Santis.
meatball puddin
yes, good point, the real problem with desantis isn't that he's a fascist, it's that he's a girl, and girls are bad. well said, m'lord
DeSantis definitely went thru it in the Navy is he truly is as much of a selfish dcik as his peers say. That is, if officers go through the same socialization and are subject to the same forces as enlisted do/are... Which... I suspect they KINDA are, but extremely attenuated.
I was enlisted and then got into the NROTC program.. that is not an common path, usually enlisted go into those "green to gold" and "seaman to admiral" programs, I only went the ROTC scholarship path because I was under, 22 or 23 is the cutoff i believe? And I had very impressive standardized test scores, which I think was the thing that caused them to look past my poor High School performance, that paired with my enlisted service to date.
But yeah, this is something to really consider about DeSantis and his psyche. In addition to all his shortcomings, his feeling he is superior despite being wildly disliked and having antisocial slants, he would have had years in the military, where he would have been viewed as a sihtbag, know he was viewed that way, and probably taken on even more antisocial views to deal with this.
You know, it is hard to handle it, we are social animals, it hurts to know you're widely disliked.
One of the few things that can help someone through such a position is to view those around you as being wrong... THEY are the bad guys, you are good, and that's why they all see YOU as bad.
He likely internalized these ideas and carried them through life after.
He looks at others as being bad, has a generally poor view of humanity in general, and that serves him. People like that, the idea to just become better people and cope that way, it doesn't occur to them, because they dont know how.
Also, note that DeSantis was stationed at Guantanamo... That is typically a PUNISHMENT ASSIGNMENT.
Guantanamo is a terrible assignment because you can't leave the base ever, this isolation makes it suck, and the fact that it sucks, makes it a place they typically only send bad people that they wish to punish.
I was threatened with being sent to Guantanamo, but never seriously, because I was a bit of a malcontent
But yeah... The fact that DeSantis was stationed at Guantanamo is very telling. It likely WAS a punishment assignment. They probably sent him there because he was a malcontent, an antisocial jerk, and when the had to send SOME JAG over there, they thought, "I'd feel a lot better about sending this jerk than anyone else."
The other thing with footwear is what OSHA requires for electricians and what they require for say a construction worker are actually completely different. For instance his boots would not have been OSHA compliant for electricians if they had actual steel toes like most generic work boots at the time did. Also is he claiming to have spent almost $400 on work boots in 1997?
17:29 a real frank burns eh lol
5:00 It's actually supposed to be "Day-Santis," if pronounced in the original Italian.
Katie and Cody!
Cody: I retract my forgiveness for being late on the last "Some More News" episode, I didn't realize you were shilling for an almost as good podcast. I would like some more news.
We got a SMN yesterday... and it was also (partially) about Meatball Ron.
And the covering of the warmboelecon between warmbo and warmbo, very exciting.
oh andgood inded,ifyouhavent,the dilbert guy is weird and fun.
if my daughter doesn't outgrow her hatred for cool ranch doritos and continues to only like nacho cheese should I disown her at 8 yo? a serious question.
Yay Cody J
You can jeer, but you don't understand -- any fragile soul can be a Florida Man
As someone who works in construction, I know the rules around footwear and your employer doesn’t have to provide you boots. I’ve only been given safety boots by one company because they were a specific kind you needed for the work we did. The problem is companies don’t wanna pay for something you can use outside of work.
I know it's been mentioned previously that Dunedin, FL is pronounced DunEEDin by locals...BUT as a local myself, if we're talking about Ronnie D I'm happy to use the alternate pronunciation, heheh!
The Hill is DEFINITELY further to the right than it is to the left... and it keeps moving further to the right...
God damnit, I’m literally named after the same Dion.
Big Meatball Energy!
#BME
Loved how you dragged that MF! 😂 Meatball Ron ❤ Runaround Sue! 🤣 Ohio haha !
What I don’t understand is why someone who’s so uncomfortable with other people wants to lead them.
Con DeKlantis is for sure one of those They Live aliens irl
I wish I could say only Ron D Santis would refer to Taiwanese kids as Maoists, but an ironically large number of people think Taiwan is the same as China.
As a European I'd highly appreciate a POTUS Cody Johnston ... but I somewhat suspect Cody wouldn't want to put up with all the stress this involves.
ive been wanting to happen but i thought it'd be more boring than weinstein, guess i was wrong. also double cody in one day is always a good day
He's such a sassy guru.
Also, for reference, $6/hour in 1996 (the year desantis would've been 18) is almost $12/hour today. Also decently above the federal minimum wage at the time ($4.75/hour)
You missed "pudding fingers" in your intro.
Rob DeSanctus!
Ron DeSantis complaining about OSHA reminds me of Dave Rubin saying that building regulations are unnecessary on Joe Rogaines shoe.
Literally two seconds after I posted this Cody said the same thing.
What's up with my viruses, my Limewirees!
I absolutely refuse to let this guy ruin meatballs for me.
I don't see a single "pudding fingers" comment here, so I'm tossing that one in.
32:00
"I keep holding this gun to my head but OSHA keeps stopping me from pulling the trigger!"
What, no Wormbo?!
I think we can safely assume that Warmbo is there. Always watching. Always.
@@iiiiiiiiiicecreamWarmbo knows all
he stares into your soul and can see your bad bad **bad** parts, @@DunjeeTime
It's "Viv-ache".
It rhymes with "cake".
As someone from Tampa, I'm confused. You said he keeps claiming he's from Tampa Bay, like the body of water...? Is he a mermaid? I don't know anyone from Tampa who claims they're from the bay. That's such a weird thing to say.The city is just called Tampa. It's like someone saying they were born in San Francisco Bay.
Crumbly Cody
i thinkpisspantis isa better nickname.
howdy cody sounds like a good nickname.
oh and shady kady,cause sunglasses?!
No one thought of the nickname Marquis DeSantis?
As a fellow sailor... I'm very disappointed that's this awful human being disgraced the Navy by being a member...
Wow guys....shitting on Akron....I'm hurt
Mem wire?
It's DUH-nee-in
I thought Ron DeSantis was already Meatball Rob?
14:18 Amazing joke, great faerietale.
Did the meatball have failed plastic surgery at some point? 😂
It's pronounced "Done Eden" not "Doonadin"
Mr D? More like Mr Deez Nuts.
It's not even clear what the scope of DeSantis's duties in an "electrical company" were; if he was training to become an electrician then he would have gone through an apprentice program and be required to log his work hours, and take trade school classes and tests, as well as a state licensing test eventually. As an apprentice telecom installation technician, I did all of those..... And I did pay for all my tools, although 1 of the companies I worked for did buy me steel toed boots, which were an OSHA requirement. They also supplied helmets, and gas testing apparatus for when we are working in manholes, and harnesses and safety equipment and the rest of it.
I'm preferable to "Puddin' Fingers DeSantitary" for nicknames for him.
So the joke is Jimmy Buffering?
