    Behind The Bastards podcast did several episodes where they read from his novel “True Allegiance” and boy is it every bit as racist as it is terrible! But I love what a blatant self-insert the whole thing is. That part cracks me up. Ben’s protagonist is a handsome six-foot+ man’s man named Brett who is not only the youngest General in the US Army but he definitely doesn’t have a squeaky voice and people would never dare tease him and he totally got invited to lots of of parties in college too.

    I’d highly recommend searching for a Spotify playlist called “Behind the Bastards: True Allegiance” if you want a waste a couple hours with some comedy gold.

      I think they read the sequel on Worst Year Ever

      Edit: I’m sure they read at some of Ben’s books on the tail end of that shows run but maybe it wasn’t True Allegiance

        They read his book on sex education which was, shall we say, informative on his views on sex. Of which there are many, but none are good.

      I’m sure Brett’s future wife has a pussy so dry it sounds like sandpaper rubbing against itself with every step she takes in the stiletto heels she has to wear to be tall enough to be kissed by Brett.

      That’s Combat General Brett Hawthorne to you.

      You have to say the whole thing, every time.
