      One can sum up The Odyssey as “a bunch of dudes try to get home from war,” but it’s more about the journey than the destination.

        Are you equating the nuance of a timeless literary classic to a sheltered white guy’s childhood? For real?

          No, I’m saying that if you ask someone to summarize a lengthy piece then it’s a bit ridiculous to complain about the lack of details.

            Yes, and I’m starting that if you attempt to summarize, do be sure to touch on key points rather than boiling it down to such a degree that it’s indistinguishable from mud. Pretty basic stuff, friend. Thanks for trying, though.

                As an AI, I do not have the ability to stream or summarize individual podcast episodes directly. However, I can provide you with a general outline of the topic.

                ‘Behind the Bastards’ is a podcast that delves into the worst people in history. If they have featured Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, it would focus on analyzing his life’s journey, work, and actions.

                Following your query, comparing Scott’s life to Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’ would include paralleling it with the adventurous journey of Odysseus. Like Odysseus, who was thrown off route and faced numerous obstacles on his journey to return home, Adams could have faced myriad professional and personal hurdles in navigating his way to success.

                Keep in mind that this is a hypothetical comparison since I don’t have the specifics from the episode. Please listen to the episode directly for detailed and accurate information.
