    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.

      I don't think Trump was the bad guy in Trump University, I think he got scammed and I am surprised that he didn't know better. There is no denying he has been a smart businessman who has made a lot of money for himself and many many others. He has employed thousands of people over the years and many of them were high-paying jobs. He had some failures along the way but far more success than failure. I think he was the best POTUS since Reagan and he will be again in 2024 and have 4 better years than the first.

    "Sheepskin" refers to vellum, a type of paper made from the skin of animals (calves and sheep). In the middle ages, university diplomas were usually written on vellum because it was cheaper and longer lasting than the paper available at the time. My understanding is that some universities still use vellum (or non-animal-cruelty versions of it) for their diplomas.
    Thus, "sheepskin" has become kind of a folksy term for diploma. Kinda like how "pigskin" is another term for a ball in American football even though they're not made of that anymore either.

      @IsaacMayerCreativeWorks Před 4 měsíci

      @@meatmobile this is correct. vellum is used for Jewish ritual items like Torah scrolls, mezuzot, and tefillin. And for vegan Jews there are special providers who make it out of the skin of animals that died of natural causes. Not all vellum is without animal cruelty, but vellum doesn’t inherently require slaughter.
      Also, traditionally the highest quality vellum was made of stillborn calves, which means they never lived in the first place.

(When Homer is getting his diploma from Krusty's Klown Kollege, Krusty lets slip the fact that the diplomas are actually "cat skins" before quickly correcting himself. This is, in fact, close to the only reason I even know what a sheepskin is.)

An employee killed herself over the sexual harassment and abuse she endured from one of her superiors at a company Bobby is responsible for, dude. And nothing was done about it. That's literally just one story out of thousands of employees. Are you really unaware of all of the heinous shit happening at Blizzard alone under his watch? Literally lives ruined and lost by him and people he's allowed to wreak havoc.
      Then we get into all of the financial ruin of individuals and families he is knowingly pushing through proven psychologically manipulative business practices at King (makers of candy crush) especially. Practices that are PRAISED at that level of the business world BECAUSE of how effective they are at manipulating people. And none of THAT gets into the people he has PERSONALLY done awful things to. Just because he owns a video game company doesn't mean he's any less capable of evil as the other CEOs (of which there have been several) we've gotten episodes on. The industry they're in is largely irrelevant.

    I was this close to going to Full Sail. Even had some very emotional calls with some "admissions" people about what I wanted out of a career.
    Instead I went to a legit university and got a bachelor of science in robotics. Now I work for a two-bit woodworking outfit whose business decisions are basically all dictated by its own social media team. I'm sure things would be worse if I'd fallen into that trap, but at the moment it's tough to imagine how.

    I had to laugh when this guy had no idea what a Sheep Skin is, I wondered to myself "Have you ever heard of The Beatles?" Millennials shock me sometimes, I have three children all born in the 80's, all intelligent and doing well in business and in life but they sometimes surprise me, my highest learning was I dropped out of high school at 17 and got a GED before my graduating class, and went to work. I know as far as schooling they are all far better educated than I am and yet sometimes I think I know so much more about almost everything than they do except Smart Phones, I am not up to par and often need their help.

Showing you know how to use a smart phone is a far bigger sign of intelligence than just having some pub trivia in your head. Every generation says shit like this and it's never true.
      Sorry for the tone of this comment but man it's so annoying how ppl see shit like not knowing phrases you have probably never encountered anyway makes you dumb, all it does is make YOU feel better grandstanding over your own damn kids.
