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.

Bowie fought heroically(?) so I could drink margaritas and eat fajitas across the street from The Alamo, then stumble around the river walk.

[@hiding_my_name]

While you're out there, do me a favor and see if you can locate my bike. I've been told it's in the basement of the Alamo and haven't had a chance to make it out there yet.

[@rothloaf1980]

@@hiding_my_name Red bike with lots of accessories? Oh yeah. It's there.

Somewhere Jim Bowie reincarnated approves this comment

[@dannyliebeno4108]

Can and should!

[@Tux_Fox001]

Ahhh yes, Texas history class. That’s a suppressed memory

[@shaurmiath6719]

Now, as a fella who grew up in Texas, I was going to be mighty disappointed if you didn't have a proper good ol' boy as a guest for this episode, but then I heard the voice of Billy Wayne Davis, music to my ears, like the strummin' of a guitar, and realized I had nothing to fear. Edit: Christ, that sandbar fight. Everyone *really* wanted Bowie dead. Like, I see how they made that into a legend for him, but you really have to ask yourself "how is it that so many people are so determined to kill me? Maybe I should examine my life? Naw. It's probably everybody else."

This gun fight sounds like the game grumps skit "and I shoot, and I miss, and I shoot again, and I miss" 🤭

[@r.coburn3344]

I know that reference and I love it! Proud of you.

[@shithoagie]

I had a popsicle And then I passed out

[@shaurmiath6719]

"I fired... and I missed! So then he pulled out his gun and he fired! And he missed! Then I pulled out my second pistol and I fired! And I missed. He pulled out his second gun and he fired. Missed. Then I got hit in the head with a gun, passed out on the sandbar, woke up, and somebody gave me a gun, and I fired. I hit, but I guess it wasn't what I was goin' for, so I guess I missed! Then he pulled out a third pistol and he fired. Missed. "

[@jeffw991]

Bowie: "While you were developing ethics, I studied the blade."

[@DeliveryMcGee]

As a person who spends a lot of time in both cities, you got Nacogdoches (Texas) right, but Natchitoches (Lou'siana) is pronounced "Nackadish", because Cajuns. Legend I heard (probably in Texas History class) is the towns are named after the tribes we stole the land from (true), and those tribes were founded by two brothers with similar names who set off three days in either direction from their pa the chief's town to found their own settlements (questionable).

[@HyenaDandy]

"The fair ones are women" Oh I assumed they were fae. Wait a minute... THAT'S WHY THEY'RE TAKING OUR NAMES!

[@toomuchsci-fi]

Appalachian area names are basically a crap shoot on spelling as many were picked because they sounded neat so it's not unusual for Reason to be changed to Resin. It's also not odd for a name to be associated with gender we might not expect. For example, several women were named Homer. The history of names in that region of the US is kind of interesting

[@robertborland5083]

I am reminded of a session in Indiana's state legislature in Corydon deciding what to name the new capital (now called Indianapolis). One legislator decided to propose naming it after the large, tree-like cactus in what was at the time Mexico; but instead of spelling it "Saguaro", the spelling which was recorded as "SUWARROW."

[@TSmith-yy3cc]

BWD is such a great guest! Not that it's unusual on this show, but it's worth mentioning.

[@fusionspace175]

It's too bad there was no S.E.C. back then, because it sounds like Jim Bowie invented insider slaving.

[@pete3767]

God damn knife technicals are such a cool idea!

[@samziegler4957]

Are they missing or misfiring? Probably a bit damp in the middle of a river.

[@dakinayantv3245]

Resin Bowie sounds like a sociopath.

[@lolavale]

Nac is Nac, and that is that. You should look into the city a little closer, there's some real bastards there. :)

[@joshualucas1821]

Rezin is an obscure character from the Old Testament, so that's probably where the name came from. The classic baby-naming technique of "open the Bible to a random page and pick the first name you see". Very popular when people had 10+ kids and less than half of them lived to age 5.

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

oh Retsin king of Aram! Yeah he’s allied with Peqaḥ against Aḥaz - Isaiah 7

[@theveteransergeant]

Come on... the worst Texan? How can you even narrow it down with so many candidates?

[@shithoagie]

The entire state is a bastard

[@GaryChurch-hi8kb]

Nobody had "sixguns" then. All single shot weapons.

[@snorpenbass4196]

Kind of. There were various special pistols (from multiple-barrel pistols to the infamous duckfoot guns) with multiple shots, but there were no cylinder-revolvers, this is true. Twin-barrel flintlocks were popular from the 17th century up to the early-mid 19th.

[@user-lc1te3rq2t]

Oh thank you! If it wasn't for you, I'd have thought a passing joke was perfectly historically accurate. lol you suck
