Holy crap, welcome back to Behind the Bastards, a rare three-part episode. You motherfuckers, you lucky sons of bitches and rat bastards are getting three episodes this week. I am now legally your father, you're welcome. Hi, Sophie. Hi, Andrew T. How are you guys doing? Did that intro work? Are we good?
You don't need to be responsible for people.

I don't think you're... I'm going to say something really... I don't think you're their father. I think you're their daddy.
No, no. That feels a lot worse for me, actually.
Yeah, but I think that's what that legally means is you're not father, you're daddy.
I'm like one of those dads that should pay child support, but instead I live on a boat in the harbor of fucking New Orleans.
Are you a libertarian in this scenario?
No, no, no, but I definitely don't believe in the moon landing. This is Behind the Bastards. Again, a podcast. You're enjoying part three of our Pol Pot episodes. And basically the way it goes here, folks, we have a massive audience and I'm always trying to do the most I can to please the most people, which you can't do with every episode.
