So far, this entire story is just this guy going from country to country and doing a terrible job of faking a different ethnicity in every place.
But this is like a very unusual level up.
That's the best they could come up with? They start calling him Leslie Smith? Leslie Smith. This is the British army? This is the British army. He's issued a name. All right. Leslie is like a British name from that time. Yeah. You're Leslie now. Here's a rifle. Well, yeah, so he's achieved his goal of being British. He does now sound British. They're like, Ivan? No, no, no, no.
You're British now.
Yeah.
Make him a spy.
Wow. How many total names did he go through on the way? It's like 10, right? He has so many fucking names. You just went through four in the last 90 seconds. Yeah.
I'm sorry. This is just like... he's like a character from like a self insert character from a novel where it's just, he's the, he's so tall and handsome and everyone loves him when they see him and they're constantly giving him promotions and new names. You know, it's like, I just read a, the book of the new sun last year. It's like that character, like just describing how awesome he is. Yeah.
Yeah, I did it even though nobody wanted me to do it. Yeah. They wanted me to do it so little that they gave me an award for doing it.
Be confident. Don't nag me. But don't fucking nag me. Don't use any of my 15 old names. Yeah.
I mean, his whole family has been murdered, right?
How many, can I just ask, how many languages does this man speak, by the way? He grew up speaking Hebrew or Yiddish?
Like, yeah, well, he's he's not coming off like a, you know, bloodthirsty, you know, guy who joined the army because he just wanted to murder people. He's he's blinded by grief and rage.
And it's war and people go nuts like this. That's how he's coming off.
I'm feeling great. So far, I love this guy. I don't understand.
I don't understand why your show's called Behind the Bastard. So far, all he's done is go on a Nazi killing spree, which we just discussed the ambiguous morals of how, you know, so I'm a little confused about the format of the show, but I guess I'll find out in the next part.
Yeah. I mean, he, he, again, he, he feels like the hero of like a pulp novel.
Yeah. You know, I, I have expected to be attacked by a dinosaur and wrestle it into submission.
That's basically the story we're telling. I think we need, honestly, I want more sequels that are that. I want to see the people turn into bad people or disappoint or not, you know.
Exactly. And I want to see the sequel to the rom-com where the people fall in love and then they get married. And then I want the sequel to them 10 years later, not fucking each other and being resentful and cheating on each other. Like that's come on.
