It's Behind the Bastards once again, the podcast where every week we tell you the worst things about the worst people in all of history. And this week we are doing parts three and four of our series on the founder of SEAL Team Six, Richard Marcinko. And in these two episodes, we will be getting past just Richard and talking about kind of how the things he set in motion led to the continuing derangement of the Navy SEALs well beyond just Team Six. And back to talk with me about how things got as bad as they are now, Andrew T. Andrew, how are you doing? How's it going? I'm good. Fine and dandy, Andrew. Fine and dandy. Have no war crimes this morning, so. That's good. You haven't committed any, right?
I can't promise that myself.
The world. Possibly even SEAL Team 6. I don't know. entirely possible there's a non-zero chance we're back at war with iran if i'm remembering correctly but that changes every day the point is i don't know yeah the point is you don't know and the point is also that you have a podcast yes that's that is the point Yes, I've been doing a Star Trek podcast with Tawny Newsome, Jesse Gender. It's called Starter Trek. They are, I won't say making me watch Star Trek, because I do enjoy it. But I do not know jack shit about Star Trek. So I'm muddling my way through. And it's really fun. We're on podcast places and YouTube. Excellent. Yeah, that's what I'm doing these days. One of the things, I guess.
Awesome.
Check that out. And I've got a little plug I want to put in for some friends of the pod. A lot of you listened to the Knowledge Fight podcast, which is currently on hold or, you know, no longer being produced. But the hosts of that are two great guys, Dan and Jordan, who did wonderful work documenting Alex Jones and actually helping with like the legal fight against him and InfoWars. And they both have new projects. So I just wanted to let you know, because a lot of our listeners listen to their stuff. Dan has a new podcast called Show Me State of Mind. And Jordan has started a YouTube series of short video essays called at or that's at everyone is wrong about. So YouTube at everyone is wrong about is Jordan's new thing.
Yeah, that's it. And now it's time for some seals. Not the not the ones are like blubber and like people eat.
Well.
I guess our Navy SEALs have some blubber, but they're pretty skinny usually, right? Yeah. I mean, I doubt they'd taste very good. Maybe. I wouldn't try one. I think they might. Yeah, they might, man. I'll eat any kind of SEAL. Look, at once. You know, I'm not going to club it, but if it's fed to me, I'll try a Navy SEAL. I'll try a HARP SEAL. You know, that's just where I roll. Yep.
