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.

My gf is Romanian. A LOT of her friends Stan ceaucescu a fair bit. He gets props for getting the country out of debt and people claim there was no hunger or homelessness during his reign. In the same breath they'll also acknowledge the rampant black market and oppression as if it was perfectly normal and not connected to him at all, so the cognitive dissonance is strong. There's still a romanticism of strong leaders in that part of the world
As much as I like to shit on him as a Romanian, paying our debts and massively industrializing the country are things I and many other people still give him props for.
Yeah; one part of that is socialism, the other is that smoothbrain everyone Stans so much. Worst experiment of all of them.
He made those deapths and he payed them by letting his country starve. The Romanians saying otherwise are still stricken with propaganda even today
I have a strong belief, a bias if you will that authoritarianism is evil by default. That it is the enemy of humanity. Am I just politically naive?
@me5ng3
He paid the debts by making the country poorer. What’s the point?
Fun fact, that kid from Dick Tracy and Can't Hardly Wait went to Yale and got a JD, now he's a hardcore rightwing Federalist Society Republican guy.
Also, the Romans conquered Dacia in 105 CE (or AD if that's your preference) and left it in 275 CE (AD). The pre-Roman Dacians were famous for using a kind of curved sword called a "falx" that was particularly good at lopping off enemy heads and arms - this is supposedly why the Romans started putting those lobster tail things on the back of their helmets.
Thanks to everyone in the comments teaching me how to pronounce the Romanian alphabet/names, I legit appreciate it. :)
Y’all really struck gold with this guest. Dude was great in the Nicholas series and he’s killing it here too.
The lyrebird is the bird that mimics. Love the podcast
They're Australian and we don't have them in North America. Instead, we have a "mockingbird" that is pretty similar.
But "mockingjay" is the fictional bird from the Hunger Games books.
"Rosebud you son of a bitch!" That was amazing.
Me the quiet kid looking around like 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
This guest needs to return. Frequently.

😂
There is a great clip by Žižek about "where is Balkan"
As soon as Jeff said Worcester I once again knew wtf he was talking about lol
Hey, I worked at the Toy's R Us video game department back "then". When there was one Dreamcast we couldn't sell - even though it was bundled with Prince of Persia.
Bins of clearance Genesis games.
Genesis might not have won the console war, but it was the only system that gave us a DS9 game.
My favorite thing about Nicolae Ceausescu is how the authors of the Left Behind books of Christian revenge porn decided that this joker should be the Antichrist a decade after he was executed by his own armed forces.
26:25 as an Italian, small correction: the cheese he's talking about is called Casu Marzu (literally: rotten cheese) and it's from Sardinia. And yes, it is illegal but still considered a delicacy (by some people, me absolutely not included).
Edit: they mention it a little later, but they still say it's from Romania despite using the name that is literally in Sardinian dialect. *shrugs*
Idk man, I don't think I would claim the maggoty cheese... 🤢
@@WowUrFcknHxC It's a public service: we claim it so no one else has to. You're welcome :)
@@LegionFromDarknessthank you Sardinia.
Romanians dont even like blue cheese generally:))) just us the more modern generations do like it but not all even then. We definietly wouldn t like the maggot cheese even though I must admit, I m curious but then I m an adventurous eater
I wonder how many mad lads have had Casu Marzu served with their fugu
There were quite a few anti-semitic poets of note in that era, TS Eliot for one. It's hardly a _strange_ combination.
I love all of Robert's accents.
Young Stalin was way hotter than young Ceaucescu.
That photo doesn’t show his smallpox scars, yellow teeth and webbed toes.
TYT on pluto had an ad by Cadillac.
Why do you make it look like Robert Evans is the only one who is talking with your graphic? Is RE the guy with the Australian Boston accentt?
around 8:00 saying BC really threw me off, its unfortunately easy to get AD and BC mixed up in the flow of conversation lol
I knew a romanian student in college who was PERSONALLY OFFENDED when I discussed Vlad Tepesh and his historical perception as a bloodthirsty tyrant, but even she would not stand for anything Ceaucescu did. Think about that for a moment, even Dracula gets to point at Ceaucescu and tell him he went too far.
It HURTS to hear you mispronounce Ceausescu every time you mention him.
It’s not CIAO-CHESCU it’s Ciao-SHESCU.
😩😩😩
Butchering that fuck name is great
Robert is terrible at pronouncing things generally, and at least with Ceaucescu he's in the neighborhood of the correct pronunciation. I had a really hard time listening to his episode about the Kim Il-Sung and his successors because I had a hard time parsing even words and names that I was familiar with because his pronunciation was so far off.
Yeah I went to college in Austria and speak German... thanks to a little thing called Nazism, there's a lot of BTB eps about Germans, and the pronunciations are painful.
But I gotta give him credit for being super consistent. He is even bad at pronouncing some English words.
That bastard doesn’t deserve to have his name pronounced well.
He often ends up "accidentally Australian" in his pronunciations. Like South African by way of Chicago, sort of.
23:00 Actually, I have read that the Magyars may actually be ethnically and linguistically related to the Hunnic Confederation, or at least some parts of it, and regardless, the Magyars eventually came to embrace the association. I mean, they claim to have Atilla the Hun's Sword of Mars.

That's a paddlin'
Nicolae Ceauşescu a făcut multe pentru România la vremea lui. Sunt anticomunist, dar îmi pare rău pentru Marele Conducător
Pepsiman!
I hate this show’s fans so much
It's pronounces Ceauh-shescu and Zzepesh, Ț is like ZZ as in Pizza and Ș is like Sh as in Show.
Târgoviște is pronounced as T-uh-r-govishte.
They wont see this comment you know?
@@SgtKaneGunlock No, I don't. I'm not all knowing.
This one was good, but the Ireland one hurt me more. I hate the Irish and that one made me rethink it. Haven't hit part 3 yet not sure.
Oy Boston is they/them eh oyyyyy.
Your Boston accent is terrible, but when I hear it randomly on shift I get a big smile. Thanks bruv. Innit, y'all.
