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.

That severe growth spurt over a small period of time happened to me too and it was a problem, I had to go see doctors, I was in pain constantly and my balance sucked. If Ben spent even one second researching growth spurts, he'd realize that not all of them turn ppl into linebackers and/or Micheal Jordan and/or imperialist generals for the US military lolz. Ben has no idea what it's like to be tall, so the world of tallness might as well be a bugs bunny cartoon to him.

In addition to my comment about how stupid naming a player "Yard" is, I want to point out that Ben clearly thinks that he would have been a great football player if only he was taller. Because clearly the only thing needed to make 'The coaches' like you is bigness. 'The Coaches' didn't like Hawthorn when he was short, but they really liked him once he became big. And what position did Brett's bigness help him play? No idea. Because it's all the same, you see, as far as Ben is concerned, football requires no intelligence or strategy, and therefore all you need to know is how big someone is.

"Sponsored his citizenship" - that's not a real thing, Ben. I work in this field... there's absolutely no "sponsoring" involved in obtaining US citizenship. What he describes literally does not exist. There is a sort of sponsoring process involved in obtaining a "green card" (technically a "permanent resident card", which allows for "legal" immigration), but that's not citizenship and Ben makes a point of telling us that Emilio is an "illegal" and thus does not have one of those either. And the thing that gets me is that this is *very* basic legal stuff. I'm not an attorney and I understand it. Ben is a Harvard-trained attorney (or, was... before he realized he could make a lot more money as a right-wing grifter and let his bar license lapse). He should be able to easily comprehend this stuff. This is what it looks like when a person is blinded by their own extremist ideology.

"215 pounds in his underwear" is a really weird way to phrase that, Ben. You'd normally just say "215 pounds" and leave it at that, Ben, and people wouldn't think you meant "fully clothed, with combat boots on. Big, tough combat boots and like... shredded fatigues, showing just hints of glistening musculature... caked in sweat and dripping with bronzer..." So that you chose to specify, Ben, means you were explicitly picturing the "bear of a man" mostly naked, Ben. That said i doubt Ben wrote much of this. It was probably a series of ghostwriters working off an outline provided by an editor who themself had very little input from Ben, and *maybe* one or both of them made some revisions (but more likely just sent it out again for punch up and coherence to another freelancer). And as a queer person who has ghostwritten some chapters of truly bad racist machismo books, i can say that there are multiple ghostwriters who will gleefully make things as gay as possible when taking such work.

Not at all. Besides those interest in just the power and wealth of said position, creating a legacy. The other main type striving for it are trying to make a difference, change something, or things.
