Former KGB Illegal | Jack Barsky | Ep. 307

[@randomdude9964]

I literally screamed no way when I saw today’s episode was this guy, and the episode did not disappoint. I am curious though if Russia still has sights on him.

[@bender2430]

I have the same question. The way Putin is, I could see him being vindictive even after all this time.

[@teddy.d174]

Especially since Putin was stationed in East Germany.

[@chuckbeattyo]

One seeming common denominator for intelligence officers is their intelligence, they are exceptionally smart people. Always have enjoyed every show of Team House, and your guests. Like others, I wondered if Russia wishes him harm today, he's so important of a voice to hear. I hope intelligent youth choose the path to being in the intel community, for life, they are needed and appreciated. You guys interview so sincerely,

[@jlpg667]

Awesome episode, well done boys! Thanks for all the great guests you bring us! God Bless ya fellas

[@MrGamasou]

Absolutely brilliant! By far the best video I’ve watched all year! I’m baffled that I hadn’t heard of Jack Barsky as Cold Warrior, a retired federal LEO, and someone very interested in Cold War spy history. Now I’m not sure I can get enough information about him.

[@j-wil1964]

Awesome episode! I love hearing these Cold War stories! Keep em coming guys! 👏

[@franciswilliams957]

Amazing interview, we can all learn a thing or two from this man

[@franketoftw]

Like how to keep german accent for 50 years living in the USA and thinking you are undetectable. I am neither American nor German and I figured in a minute that he must be East German. You can tell that he's been learning English next to Russians.

How to be a souped up snitch is long story short at the end of the day he rode his bike and was a messenger for rent money and a few bucks extra.

[@timcummiskey1178]

Incredible. Great show.

[@kaladavis4834]

I’m mad I missed this live.

[@TheTeamHousePodcast]

@@kaladavis4834 it would be really cool if KZbin let our subscribers know about our streams...

[@tonyolson9595]

Can’t wait for the 2050 team house when y’all are interviewing Christine fang

[@colostomybag9367]

I've listened to Jack Barsky a number of times on multiple podcasts, his book is really good. Very interesting when he talks about first getting into LA back in the day.

[@chrispotts-z9b]

Great pod cast

[@teddy.d174]

The amount of negative comments on this exceptional podcast, is utterly baffling. This was a fantastic interview, this guy is a F’g legend.

[@nvrbetrwhoohoo3941]

Wow….good one!

[@tomwilson1006]

Let’s go boys!

[@WhitexFeatherx]

Damn. I wonder if he met Markus wolf, or Erich mielke. I would love to hear more from him about the stasi

[@AdamBig16]

Barskys a class act always a good listen. His appearance on Lex is still one of my favorites podcast to date. Worth multiple listens through would recommend everyone go watch or listen to it! Hope he goes on Shawn’s podcast soon. Team house seems like it functions as a soft screen for Shawn, he definitely seems to be a listener hahaha. The only thing is the audio quality due to the zoom format can’t blame em for it although it does have a impact on the listening experience. But it does have a cool vintage feel like call in interviews on a radio show.

[@yungcaco1443]

Someone get this man a new mattress please 🙏🏻 he deserves it

[@mcorbin9474]

And three pairs of wool socks for a good nights rest!

[@philby8]

This guy seems to have a pretty high opinion of himself (after all "ego" was part of the infamous toolkit of his former bosses) and mentions his "american accent" several times. He is aware that it's pretty easy to tell that he's german ?

[@teddy.d174]

This man is of exceptional intelligence and character. I myself take zero issue with his self importance.

[@pepperoni93]

He told people in the US he grew up speaking German in his house so he’s obviously aware

[@rossinnz]

Cheers

[@scr4370]

👍

[@mcorbin9474]

Great interview. I'm looking forward to signing up for his class. kzbin.info/aero/PL04KG242WlXuqi4oRsocr-omLGOjPtury

[@katletasdomkratas4092]

Complains about tech oligarchs who have too much power... and then praises elon musk in the same sentence.

[@teddy.d174]

Elon doesn’t have too much power, what makes you say that? Enough with the partisan 🐂💩

[@alwaysready4017]

Now one thing you will know before this podcast is over is that he is smart 😢.. if not he will tell you a few times.

[@teddy.d174]

Have you ever met intelligence officers previously? They will all tell you how smart/important they are, get over it…🙄

[@franketoftw]

Never belive a guy that says " i am smart" often. He is/was so full of himself, KGB knew he was useless so they left him be, probably. Worst guest on podcast. Jack "i can answer any question, just not this one" B. Yep full of hot air.

[@alwaysready4017]

Literally did nothing but ride his bike and get a fake ID. I have ran across plenty of scam artist that probably made a lot more money and less risk .

[@teddy.d174]

You’re so F’g clueless, this guy is a legend.
