Mike today Gary Indiana is practically a ghost town .from what i have been able to find out racism ,bigotry and hate are the main reasons why it is almost completely deserted . some big employers left but that is all part of the former .
Agree wholeheartedly! Petrov was intelligent enough to know if they were launched, it would have been a shite ton more in the air. Khrushchev wasn’t the smartest bulb in the chandelier but he was brutal. For Petrov to speak up…could have meant immediate death to him. Brave and intelligent.
I don't believe that story. The Soviets said the same thing about the Cuban Missle Crisis situation where a Soviet submarine got a nuclear launch alarm where 3 Soviet officers were required to retaliate with their Nukes but 1 of them (don't remember his name) felt like it was a false alarm and dissented thereby also saving the world in the process. It's just Soviet propaganda. I was born there BTW.
The crazy thing is there was a second spy at the same time, he got busted but they realized there had to be a second. This prick got several people killed in the ussr too He should have shared the fate of litvinyenko, who was also a hero
This is the first time I've ever supported a TH-camr to this extent and paid to show my support! Keep up the great work because it educates anyone who watches and filters out those who are only interested in sensationalized content like individual murders. You truly have a special talent, so make sure not to waste it! I've been aware of this story and latest one, and I'm grateful that you're addressing it. You have a gift for storytelling, and it's truly remarkable!

@@judgedrekk2981there's definitely multiple harambe accounts, you must've missed them. Might not be used anymore. But you can look em up if you filter the results to channels
This is a real treat. Seriously. An entire hour of That Chapter?! These are the videos I come back and watch again 4-6 months later to give ‘em another goo.
My wife and I love this change of pace - keep it going. We sometimes get weary of true crime, especially the murders. Love the direction you're taking.
This episode is INCREDIBLE! You knocked it out of the park, sir, and I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed any podcast episode this much in a LONG time. Fantastic work. Truly. Thank you for your incredible effort, each and every day.
On top of how great of a story teller you are, it gets much much better with those jokes, and faces that you drop every now and then, either mocking the criminal or making a silly rendition of how someone actually would act in such a situation.
Hansen and Aldrich Ames are probably the two American spies for Russia that I find the most fascinating, partially because of how bold they were with it and partially because of how inept their superiors were about everything.
Their stories definitely blew my mind that the FBI and CIA for which they worked- supposedly the top intel agencies in the world- were incapable of catching these guys even when they actually DID catch them. Like catching Robert breaking into colleagues’ computers, copying classified info, etc. Nothing ever came from it! Insane they got away with it for so long!
"The Falcon and The Snowman" is pretty interesting too, especially if you like that old cold war spy stuff. I think it's a true crime book and also a movie starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn.
Hey, Mike! Love the subtle change in pace! Such a great historical story, and you are such a superb storyteller. Wonderful combination. If you're ever in need of future content, please consider historical stories like this again. Well done, Sir!
Been watching for about 3 years now and I love seeing Mike super excited to share and tell a story even if it’s different from the usual ones we all know and love. He could talk about a brick wall and I would some how find it fascinating and enjoyable.
For some reason, I just mentally pictured Mike hitting a doobie and staring at a brick wall... Then, going into detail about how and what makes that brick wall so fascinating. Who built it, how long it took, any mishaps along the way.. Rofl😂
Hansson was probably the reason why government positions started paying costs based on locality finally. My husband was in the military during the 90s on & it was difficult to transfer from one base to another for this reason. The salary was low, housing sometimes had over a year waiting list & the new place was more expensive than the last. I'm not excusing selling out your country. Just that it was a difficult situation to be in when you got transferred to a far more expensive place
This was sooo fascinating from several aspects. The things that contributed to Hansen’s veering off the straight and narrow, his strange code of honor, his disdain for everyone around him, the ineptitude of both the FBI & the CIA, and the duping of those closest to him, and his ultimate betrayal of them. Thanks for an engrossing in-depth look at this traitor hiding in plain sight.
I’ve worked for the federal government in many different capacities all of my adult life. It bothers me to no end that Mike is saying the pay you would get in Gary Indiana is the same you’d get in any part of the state of New York. That is so ridiculous. The base pay may be the same, but the location pay, that’s where you make your money so you can live appropriately where you are. We’re a department of the army family, but all the federal agencies including all the alphabet three and four letters are similar in the way they pay. Even who pays us is a federal agency!
Love this wee change up to your usual murdery stories. You are such an engaging storyteller, I'd literally listen to you read Ikea instructions or the weather. But this was such a treat! I like you long-form, much like Mr Ballen or Simon Whistler. Mike, youre a gem. Please grace us with more espionage and convoluted plots. Your thorough research delivered in such a conversational tone and lil quips make every story that much better. Yes pls!👍👍
“A hamburger, a Coca-Cola, and a pair of titties”..... Merica!😅🤣 You’re seriously the best channel I’m subscribed to! Somehow you’ve been able to include your infectious humor and wittiness in each of your videos. All while still showing compassion and respect to the victims. ♥️ from across the frog pond in Alabama! -Jess
What a fantastic deep dive into the Robert Hanssen story. I was fully engrossed in the tale, it was definitely worth going over half an hour! Yes would love to see more content like this. Luv ya Mike!
This was a masterwork of storytelling Mike. You really did amazing job. I must say that I have watched the video twice and I lost it both times when the FBI were standing around trying to figure out who’s voice was on the cassette tape. 😂
Is it just me, or does he seem more enthusiastic in this video compared to others as of late? It's dawned on me that Mike is definitely a history fan and I'd love to see him do more content like this

Hey Mike, from New Zealand. I can see you absolutely loved telling this story. They say the Irish have the gift of the blarney. You are a natural story teller and it's a gift. I loved this story too and how you told it. Thank you.
This was a great history lesson! I love how you just "know" all the info so well and are such a talented story teller! One of my favorite videos actually. Keep being amazing Mike!
Yeah, he must study it before hand and maybe has some notes but he usually doesn't do thar many edits. He also does edits well, either when he moves or adds images
Wow, excellent storytelling, Mike. Over an hour, but it felt a lot shorter. Got totally engrossed in it. Thanks for all your research and sharing of your results the way you do. I'm always looking forward to the next one.
Thank you , Mike! My husband (this is his account) and I watched both of your shows weekly! He passed away 02/09/23 and now it’s just me watching! I thank you for giving us something to watch at all the drs visits and hospital stays! Keep up the great work! ❤ Tonya
Im sorry for your huge loss and Nathalie's too. It must be nice to enjoy Mike's stories. I like to think your hubby is watching over your shoulder. May you find peace in the world.
This was awesome, Mike. You're such a great story teller. And I think it's awesome that you want to switch things up a bit. I'm here for whatever you're posting, cause you never disappoint. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to our entertainment. You are greatly appreciated.
That was amazing! I'm old enough to remember the highlights, but you really went all out! Great coverage of Hanssen and his activities for 20+ years and your ability to make it so easy to follow. I'd love more of these kind of videos! Thanks, Mike!
I do remember this well even though I was quite young. It was talked about frequently in my house because my mother remembered the " Rosenberg's trial and subsequent death sentences when she was very young at that time.
I was 13 when it all came out so I only have very vague memories & I’m fascinated! Kinda bums me out that it’s not getting the same number first-day views as the “regular” content. Everyone should give him a chance to cover other types of stories even if it’s not their favorite topic of murder 😂
I remember it as well. People don't remember just how much a slap in the face this was considering how close it still was in proximity to the Cold War & how that was still fresh in everyone's minds. It was the ultimate betrayal. It wasn't just one or two indiscretions but a lifetime of treasonous acts. It's sad what someone will do for money & even sadder that he didn't even spend it on anything useful. 😂
This was a great one Mike. A change up from the usual murder, crime stories and cases. Refreshing and very interesting. You should find more like these. Sort of historic, suspense, and international mysteries.
Over a couple of years your stories are always being suggested to me by youtube and I've watched them but finally I've "given it a goo!" and now subscribed (what took me so long? I've no answer) but I have binged watched and enjoyed your frank and personable style of narration whilst feeding my fascination for true crime and zany ones at that! This story was crazy as fudge and it felt like I was listening to a Hollywood script. Wow! Also your backdrop is awesome with the art. Keep doing what you're doing Mike🤗
@mediaODDysey We all know it's not his usual backdrop. He changes it frequently, I guess you haven't noticed. It looks great, people aren't going to cater to you on their own channel. Grow up.
@type DUCK TACO OMEGA to find the channelRight?! What an ass! Probably going through some personal stuff. But seems a bit trigger happy on the mean, senseless and asinine response to a simple observational comment. I just probably over stated my own thoughts, but f**k him! 😂
@mediaODDysey I really thought it was keyed in via green screen the whole video, until the end when he said it’s art he hung up. My slow brain still doesn’t want to believe it, it looks too perfect & clear 😂
@@bees.857 think they were just saying it looks weird because they're used to the normal one. They didn't mean it in the way you took it I don't believe. & to OP it's a good channel, welcome aboard
Nice to see Robert Hansen on TC. I can assure you every federal employee hears about him every year during annual training. Nice to see Mike give him a goooo 😊
Nice to see Robert Hansen on TC. I can assure you every federal employee hears about him every year during annual training. Nice to see Mike give him a goooo 😊
I thought I would watch this longer video in a couple of views but I watched the whole thing through from beginning to end. A testament to your marvellous storytelling, Mike. Thank you.
I’ve been waiting for you to cover this story as he recently passed away and his story was very veryyyyy interesting. Living in the DMV area during the expose of this guy was interesting. He lived a decent life but he wasn’t getting paid millions. He knew what the consequence was but he did it for “Pennie’s.” He’s lucky the govt didn’t “delete” him.
Great stuff Mike! So happy to see your branching out with your content and doing something a bit different. I've known of this story for many years but it's a shame it's not more widely known. It's mainly not talked about because it was a giant embarrassment to the US government, but everyone should know this story. And we've got a lot of actual American citizens in our government currently who are even BIGGER traitors than this guy and they deserve the same treatment.
🤔 hmmm… why do I get the feeling that when you say “traitors” you’re NOT referring to the people who committed sedition by trying to do a coup in an effort to overturn a democratic election and hang the Vice President?
I agree that there are currently worse traitor’s that are currently running this country or the dark undercurrent behind some of these traitor’s. Seems the only hope is they hopefully age out.
Our government, particularly the State Department and Intelligence agencies, are bursting at the seams with traitors to our nation. And they were put there by Obama.
Can't believe some of pile of money didn't go offshore? Did his kids get expensive education?? Or did he donate/pay penance to church? Did his wife receive a pension? Eeeew... Did she know he pimped her via cctv? Brilliant Mike. So many details & entertainingly put. Thank you
Wow. I'll never forget in social studies back in the mid-90s we would have to read Newsweeks and write reports on them. I will never forget the cover with Rick Ames on it with the title "The Mole" and I thought he was this skeevy mole-human hybrid or something
As a person of Leinster Irish extraction, living in England's West Midlands - watching Mike invite us to "Give it a goo," is the highlight of my week.... its the most Black Country phrase I've ever heard, but in a voice that reminds me of home 😂
Would you ever consider doing a live stream, say once a month, chatting with us and researching a case or something? Just a thought ❤️ And thank you, Mike. As always, you have delivered a wonderfully told story.
Five star content as usual. I love how you pivoted to this instead of cults or mysteries. I haven’t seen many true crime podcasts cover this portion of the genre and I love it. Keep kicking em in the dick Mike!
I remember seeing this guy on a mini-poster in the mailroom (circa 2005) where I worked security, as an example of what NOT to do with sensitive information. 😮
Thank you for the extended episode! Nowadays I just watch TH-cam primarily over paying for all these damn overpriced subscriptions. It's nice when you can watch a video and not have to worry about finding another one to watch in 10-15 minutes
Interesting timing. I had fallen down a rabbit hole about this guy. The timing on this is tripping me out, honestly. One of my favorite channels makes an hour long video of a subject i'm currently balls-deep into? Yes, please. Thanks Mike!
He just died and was all over the news didn't he? Not such strange timing to make a video about something interesting. I'm sure lots who weren't aware of R.H. Probably are doing deep dives now after hearing about him from the news.
I appreciate all hours of work in this story. You really are my favorite You Tube storyteller and you are a giving person that really throws in the hard work. To be honest though, I find the true crime stories speak to me more. I can feel emotions that I cannot feel here. Gotta be honest. Love ya Mike!
Actually in essence this story is still true crime & this man was a third party, serial killer considering the amount of people who died due to his actions. Incredibly fascinating story & so well done, thank you Mike. Absolutely welcome this type of story as well & it's always about quality not quantity, so when you post, we'll all be waiting. Bravo 👏
This is one of my FAVES you’ve ever done! I’ve listened to it 3-4 times through Patreon already. WILD story!! Also- LOVE the little blooper with the wifey at the end. Too cute!🤍
We love everything you do Mike. What a creep Hanssen was. Ughh feel so sorry for Bonnie and the people he betrayed that cost them their lives. Thanks for another great one!
Great story well told. I will set my opinion as being in favor of longer videos on any connected subjects to the typical fare of TC. I was fortunate enough to grow up around tellers of tales, and Mike has the gift of bringing back my favorite form of information gathering.
It’s the quick unexpected bits of humor for me 1:00:58 “dressed as always, like a mortician” came out of nowhere & KILLED me 😂 (no pun intended because morticians aren’t usually killers)
This isn't typically what I like to watch, but you really have a great way of explaining stories, drawing you back in and keeping it totally interesting! I like the normal vids you do, but this was a nice change up, plus AN HOUR!!! way to go!!!
Dude!!! Over 600,000 views!!! My mind is blown. I've been sub'd to ur channel for many years now, & have been actively watching ur channel grow, & I gotta say how incredibly cool it is to watch ur channel grow so quickly. Youre doing such an amazing job!...& I love the fact that you haven't let it all go to your head, keeping everything pretty much consistent. Not letting the money go to ur head. At least, that's what it appears as. Keep up the fun story telling..& me & my son will most definitely keep coming back to listen. Thanks for doing all the research, so we don't have to.❤
Mike, you seem revived in this video! It's clear you enjoy telling true-crimery history stories and I say KEEP IT UP if it's gonna keep you this jazzed!
I quite like the longer format, and that’s one of the reasons why I enjoy the podcasts you are now doing. Thanks for the hours upon hours of entertainment you’ve given us! ✌🏼🙌
Mike, we were all talking about you at dinner last night 😅 My whole family is weird. We’re all huge true crime buffs and we all agreed you have an absolute gift! You really need your own show and should be a household name so every family can talk about you at dinner 🩵 We love you, Mike!
Loving the artwork, Mike. Everything about this video was awesome. Long form and a slight stray from usual. Love your original format and this new one. More please.
An hour episode!!!What did we do to deserve such a treat?I've been watching for years and I'm hard pressed to remember many one hours.Thank you sir I can escape reality for longer.
I encourage you to continue with historical stories like this as you are evidently passionate about narratives / cases with a strong historical context. I would love to see you talk about more crime that need not be homicide & that has an important historical context. Even for those who do not enjoy history & politics, I believe your means of story telling makes those subjects interesting.
I liked the non-murder focused topic, can't always be the darkest stuff. And my husband isn't a really into murder stories so this was something he enjoyed watching. Great job Mike!
Yesssss Mike! We love this longer form content! This guy was probably responsible for more deaths in his time than some of the serial killers we see. I feel so sorry for his poor wife finding all that out. Poor woman, thinking she has this wonderful God fearing man! And here he was a psychopath the whole time! Not speaking to anyone in prison is probably another way of him keeping control of his life. Look forward to more strange and interesting subjects. Also love the art, I was trying to zoom into the one on your right.

I listen to audio books a lot that involve spies/intelligence and was tangentially aware of Bob Hannsen. This was a great video and filled in a lot of info I didn't know about him. Great video!
Loved this style of content! I truly enjoy your storytelling, but I'm not always in the mood for the darker, especially murder-y, tales. This hit the spot for an hour straight! ☺️
I genuinely love when you look into the history cases, Mike. This, the 17th century ship, and the serial killers from post-Revolution America are easily becoming my favorites
Fascinating story. I remember this case well. I remember being baffled at the time at the shear incompetence of our intelligence apparatus, but I don’t really know anything about how it all works. Similar to how I felt in the wake of 9/11. I kept thinking “How? How did they not know?” In the case of 9/11, I was especially incredulous because of the WTC bombing in the early 90’s. But in the case of Hanssen, it seems implausible to me that such a man could go for so long without anyone suspecting a thing. Not a single internal review over the course of 20 years clued anyone in that something was amiss? Again, just fascinating.
This really was a gripping tale, Mike! I mean, I could listen to you read a phone book - but this longer form little change in your content was a true (crime) knock out of the park! I watched it twice in a row, lol. Extremely entertaining and infinitely listenable as always. Thanks for all your hard work. Cheers!
Great episode Mike. It was very evident that you enjoyed researching and presenting it! The guy was ok with being caught. He wanted to show everyone how smart he was and that he had manipulated everyone around him. Power baby, its was what made him tick!
Keep up the great true crime stories!! We will be here for every episode you publish whether it’s a long one on Tuesday or a couple on Tuesday and Friday!! Whenever you post a story we’re always happy to see what you have next! You’re a great storyteller and you deserve your own show on a network station like Discovery or A&E or something like that! 🎉🎉🎉
Dude I'm so excited for this. I started watching true crime because of your show. It's the only one I watch. I'm honestly a big baby and all the murder makes me sad, but, you are such a gifted story teller that I've watched almost every episode You can imagine how excited I am that you're branching into new topics Congrats on that chapter bruh
I’m a huge fan of true crime too and I love that chapter as well. My other favorite channel is “this is Monsters” I think you’ll like that channel as well if you like TC. Cheers from Chicago!
@@ThatChapter absolutely! I don’t take fantastic content creators for granted at all. Thank you for all your hard work and amazing efforts to give us incredible content Mike. 🙏👍😊
Wow. You really did your research on this one - and I know it was no small task. The hours you must have spent to collect the information and then to shape it into the Mike-presented miracle-goo... well, we don't deserve you. This is truly some of your best work, and I was hooked from word one. It's a fascinating story, and the way you put it together was actually the best presentation of it I've ever heard. You gave me new details, and I thought I knew the bulk of the story! Well done. I'm well and truly impressed, and I thank you from the bottom of my true-crime-addicted little heart.
Another great video Mike. Check out the Johnny Walker spy ring. The only reason he was caught was his exwife reported him to the FBI. She didn't know that her Navy sailor son was involved with his father. Otherwise she wouldn't have turned him in. The movie "Family of Spies" was based on Walker.
@@fionanisbett3748 It's a true story but I wouldn't call it a comedy. I was on active duty during that time and saw first hand the affects of his actions.
This is an awesome setup! Reminds me of a social at someone's house and you find someone who isn't into small talk and goes into these amazing rants and you are so sucked in you forget you're at a friend's house and that you are eating pizza rolls while you're on a journey through delicious scandals.
Like the many others posting before me…awesome work sir - on all your videos. Your passion is reflected in the outstanding quality of your production and style. Can’t wait for more “goes”!!!
Mike, you are the best! Im absolutely addicted to your shows. Your thorough research and your delivery is second to none. Congratulations on your success! You deserve it!
Oh my lawd a whole hour?!?!? Mike you sir just made this awful week soooo much better ❤❤ I'm beyond ready to give it a goo!!! Thank you so much for everything you do, I love ya ❤
Another RU who doesn't get enough recognition for preventing WW3 is Vasily Arkhipov. He refused to launch nukes during the Cuban missile crisis. Men like these deserve more praise for not "simply following orders."
An interesting diversification for you Mike from covering cases of those who killed others by their own hands (or by instructing others) and I must say, into this precedent of an hour-long episode, so far you're absolutely outshone yoursel with some seriously good historical/contextual research.! From the look of some comments BTW if the makers of your shirts chose to sponsor you they'd do very well from it 😃. You're a wee diamond, many thanks for this.
I think most of us would be happy to see anything that you would like to make a video about. Because you are THAT entertaining and informative. Good job, Mike;) we love you too!
I have to say this, when I saw a hour long video I was skeptical, but now that I finished is like it didn't even pass 25 minutes, what a storyteller you are, Mike.
Mike i can honestly say this may be my favorite story you have told. It was educational informative detailed and just all around amazing. Thank you as Im an American and had 0 idea about this story. Keep up the great work you have a fan for life!!! ❤
Man, the longer the better. So many other You Tubers who blow up as you have post less and the stories get shorter and shorter. So I'm really impressed and always excited to see a longer one from you sir! This was very interesting, and I find no difference in this type of subject matter from the usual true crime as your style and method of delivery are distinctively one of a kind. Awesome as usual my friend. Howdy from Cleveland, Oh!🙏🖖💥
Being born in 1975, I grew up hearing about "Commie traitors", being terrified of "the Russians", etc. Most enjoyable lesson ever on one of the worst traitors our country has ever seen. I love watching your content, would definitely watch more like this!
This is the way forward for Mike. He needs a challenge. This shows his real potential. Mike's a smart guy. Maybe he has been dumbing down for too long. I encourage him to do more shows like this .
I'm halfway through it, Mike, and I love it! I love your videos, your delivery, style, etc., all the good stuff. But I like these types of videos, too! I'm sure the research is more time-consuming, but thank you for producing this one.

Thank you for telling Stanislav Petrov’s story. Not enough folks know what we owe that gentleman. Literally everything.
Agree wholeheartedly! Petrov was intelligent enough to know if they were launched, it would have been a shite ton more in the air. Khrushchev wasn’t the smartest bulb in the chandelier but he was brutal. For Petrov to speak up…could have meant immediate death to him. Brave and intelligent.

His vomiting reaction cracks me up (like in the Mark Redwine or incest cases)
Hansen and Aldrich Ames are probably the two American spies for Russia that I find the most fascinating, partially because of how bold they were with it and partially because of how inept their superiors were about everything.
You hear about Anna Chapman ? She became really famous after being caught being a spy... she does modeling on instagram 😂
Their stories definitely blew my mind that the FBI and CIA for which they worked- supposedly the top intel agencies in the world- were incapable of catching these guys even when they actually DID catch them. Like catching Robert breaking into colleagues’ computers, copying classified info, etc. Nothing ever came from it! Insane they got away with it for so long!
And on top of that Aldrich Ames was caught because of another russian traitor Oleg Kalugin
Comment about the topic! 👌👍👌
Well if you like Robert Hanssen read the book The Gray Man, it is written by Eric Olson the gentleman that helped bring down Robert
As a Federal employee, I've been watching stuff on this guy since I began my career. He was quite a guy.
"The Falcon and The Snowman" is pretty interesting too, especially if you like that old cold war spy stuff. I think it's a true crime book and also a movie starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn.
You should look up Richard Sorge, german spy during the second world War. Fascinating story!
@@schneir5indeed
He was quite the creep. A complete lowlife
He was in the Federal camp at Lewisburg, PA, it’s an open air camp. No fence, no walls.
Hey, Mike! Love the subtle change in pace! Such a great historical story, and you are such a superb storyteller. Wonderful combination. If you're ever in need of future content, please consider historical stories like this again. Well done, Sir!
Been watching for about 3 years now and I love seeing Mike super excited to share and tell a story even if it’s different from the usual ones we all know and love. He could talk about a brick wall and I would some how find it fascinating and enjoyable.
Oh, for sure! I don’t know how he does it but he’s an amazing storyteller!
For some reason, I just mentally pictured Mike hitting a doobie and staring at a brick wall... Then, going into detail about how and what makes that brick wall so fascinating. Who built it, how long it took, any mishaps along the way..
Rofl😂
@@TheKatiewindow 😂😂😂😂
@@TheKatiewindow and we would enjoy the hell outta him telling that story!
Excellent observation.
Hansson was probably the reason why government positions started paying costs based on locality finally. My husband was in the military during the 90s on & it was difficult to transfer from one base to another for this reason. The salary was low, housing sometimes had over a year waiting list & the new place was more expensive than the last. I'm not excusing selling out your country. Just that it was a difficult situation to be in when you got transferred to a far more expensive place
What? You mean off base BAH?
This was sooo fascinating from several aspects. The things that contributed to Hansen’s veering off the straight and narrow, his strange code of honor, his disdain for everyone around him, the ineptitude of both the FBI & the CIA, and the duping of those closest to him, and his ultimate betrayal of them. Thanks for an engrossing in-depth look at this traitor hiding in plain sight.
"Veering off the straight and narrow"?? He was a member of an underworld three-letter agency.
I’ve worked for the federal government in many different capacities all of my adult life. It bothers me to no end that Mike is saying the pay you would get in Gary Indiana is the same you’d get in any part of the state of New York. That is so ridiculous. The base pay may be the same, but the location pay, that’s where you make your money so you can live appropriately where you are. We’re a department of the army family, but all the federal agencies including all the alphabet three and four letters are similar in the way they pay. Even who pays us is a federal agency!
Love this wee change up to your usual murdery stories. You are such an engaging storyteller, I'd literally listen to you read Ikea instructions or the weather. But this was such a treat! I like you long-form, much like Mr Ballen or Simon Whistler. Mike, youre a gem. Please grace us with more espionage and convoluted plots. Your thorough research delivered in such a conversational tone and lil quips make every story that much better. Yes pls!👍👍
Well, potentially this guy caused more deaths than any other criminal he has discussed. Filthy traitorous bastard.

What a fantastic deep dive into the Robert Hanssen story. I was fully engrossed in the tale, it was definitely worth going over half an hour! Yes would love to see more content like this. Luv ya Mike!
This was a masterwork of storytelling Mike. You really did amazing job. I must say that I have watched the video twice and I lost it both times when the FBI were standing around trying to figure out who’s voice was on the cassette tape. 😂
15,000 likes within 8 hours of posting a video means you are a phenomenal storyteller, Mike!!! And you seem so humble at the same time.
Is it just me, or does he seem more enthusiastic in this video compared to others as of late? It's dawned on me that Mike is definitely a history fan and I'd love to see him do more content like this

Not reading off a script is so impressive, I don’t care how much research a person does. I’m 100% incapable of that 😂
Yeah, he must study it before hand and maybe has some notes but he usually doesn't do thar many edits. He also does edits well, either when he moves or adds images
Wow, excellent storytelling, Mike. Over an hour, but it felt a lot shorter. Got totally engrossed in it. Thanks for all your research and sharing of your results the way you do. I'm always looking forward to the next one.

This was awesome, Mike. You're such a great story teller. And I think it's awesome that you want to switch things up a bit. I'm here for whatever you're posting, cause you never disappoint. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to our entertainment. You are greatly appreciated.
Great story tellers make the stories that much better. Mike is the ultimate story teller.
That was amazing! I'm old enough to remember the highlights, but you really went all out! Great coverage of Hanssen and his activities for 20+ years and your ability to make it so easy to follow. I'd love more of these kind of videos! Thanks, Mike!
Same here. Although I was a little too young to grasp what was actually happening at the time. Very well done!
I remember this too & it was such a slap in the face. What a piece of work.....
I do remember this well even though I was quite young. It was talked about frequently in my house because my mother remembered the " Rosenberg's trial and subsequent death sentences when she was very young at that time.
I was 13 when it all came out so I only have very vague memories & I’m fascinated!
Kinda bums me out that it’s not getting the same number first-day views as the “regular” content. Everyone should give him a chance to cover other types of stories even if it’s not their favorite topic of murder 😂
I remember it as well. People don't remember just how much a slap in the face this was considering how close it still was in proximity to the Cold War & how that was still fresh in everyone's minds. It was the ultimate betrayal. It wasn't just one or two indiscretions but a lifetime of treasonous acts. It's sad what someone will do for money & even sadder that he didn't even spend it on anything useful. 😂
This was a great one Mike. A change up from the usual murder, crime stories and cases. Refreshing and very interesting. You should find more like these. Sort of historic, suspense, and international mysteries.
Over a couple of years your stories are always being suggested to me by youtube and I've watched them but finally I've "given it a goo!" and now subscribed (what took me so long? I've no answer) but I have binged watched and enjoyed your frank and personable style of narration whilst feeding my fascination for true crime and zany ones at that! This story was crazy as fudge and it felt like I was listening to a Hollywood script. Wow! Also your backdrop is awesome with the art. Keep doing what you're doing Mike🤗
@mediaODDysey We all know it's not his usual backdrop. He changes it frequently, I guess you haven't noticed. It looks great, people aren't going to cater to you on their own channel. Grow up.

Nice to see Robert Hansen on TC. I can assure you every federal employee hears about him every year during annual training. Nice to see Mike give him a goooo 😊
I don't know why he didn't say well it's not really a crime oh, yes it is. The charge would be treason

Love how you’re expanding your story content! Here’s a token of appreciation for your great work. 🌟
I thought I would watch this longer video in a couple of views but I watched the whole thing through from beginning to end. A testament to your marvellous storytelling, Mike. Thank you.
I’ve been waiting for you to cover this story as he recently passed away and his story was very veryyyyy interesting. Living in the DMV area during the expose of this guy was interesting. He lived a decent life but he wasn’t getting paid millions. He knew what the consequence was but he did it for “Pennie’s.” He’s lucky the govt didn’t “delete” him.
It's sad about the general though because he was a great asset us
Great stuff Mike! So happy to see your branching out with your content and doing something a bit different. I've known of this story for many years but it's a shame it's not more widely known. It's mainly not talked about because it was a giant embarrassment to the US government, but everyone should know this story. And we've got a lot of actual American citizens in our government currently who are even BIGGER traitors than this guy and they deserve the same treatment.
🤔 hmmm… why do I get the feeling that when you say “traitors” you’re NOT referring to the people who committed sedition by trying to do a coup in an effort to overturn a democratic election and hang the Vice President?
Yeah, the Biden cartel. The whole family. ☠️
I agree that there are currently worse traitor’s that are currently running this country or the dark undercurrent behind some of these traitor’s. Seems the only hope is they hopefully age out.
Our government, particularly the State Department and Intelligence agencies, are bursting at the seams with traitors to our nation. And they were put there by Obama.
Trump tops the list.
This guy's in a lot of insider threat training courses. I knew what he did, but you provided many more details the courses do not mention. Thanks!
Can't believe some of pile of money didn't go offshore? Did his kids get expensive education??
Or did he donate/pay penance to church?
Did his wife receive a pension? Eeeew... Did she know he pimped her via cctv?
Brilliant Mike. So many details & entertainingly put. Thank you
Wow. I'll never forget in social studies back in the mid-90s we would have to read Newsweeks and write reports on them. I will never forget the cover with Rick Ames on it with the title "The Mole" and I thought he was this skeevy mole-human hybrid or something
😢😢😢
As a person of Leinster Irish extraction, living in England's West Midlands - watching Mike invite us to "Give it a goo," is the highlight of my week.... its the most Black Country phrase I've ever heard, but in a voice that reminds me of home 😂
Would you ever consider doing a live stream, say once a month, chatting with us and researching a case or something? Just a thought ❤️ And thank you, Mike. As always, you have delivered a wonderfully told story.
Yes! Now that would be so Kool.
Five star content as usual. I love how you pivoted to this instead of cults or mysteries. I haven’t seen many true crime podcasts cover this portion of the genre and I love it. Keep kicking em in the dick Mike!
🦵➡️🍆 ….
🤷🏻♀️ 😂
Keep kickin em in the dick…? 😂
I would love more financial crimes/scammer stories!
I remember seeing this guy on a mini-poster in the mailroom (circa 2005) where I worked security, as an example of what NOT to do with sensitive information. 😮
Thank you for the extended episode! Nowadays I just watch TH-cam primarily over paying for all these damn overpriced subscriptions. It's nice when you can watch a video and not have to worry about finding another one to watch in 10-15 minutes
CRAZY AMAZING story with OUTSTANDING coverage and commentary!! Favorite TC video so far! ⭐️
Interesting timing. I had fallen down a rabbit hole about this guy. The timing on this is tripping me out, honestly. One of my favorite channels makes an hour long video of a subject i'm currently balls-deep into? Yes, please.
Thanks Mike!
Your name…..🤣🤪🤣🤪🤍 I love it…!!!!
There's a channel call the Spy Museum I don't know if you've heard of that but it's a really good Channel and it breaks down everything
Mike read your mind 🤯
He just died and was all over the news didn't he? Not such strange timing to make a video about something interesting. I'm sure lots who weren't aware of R.H. Probably are doing deep dives now after hearing about him from the news.
Please tell us more about you and less about the story. We are ALL dying to hear more about you.
Mike my man! A whole hour!! Nothing I like better than watching a new That Chapter upload after a long day at work! Thank you Mike!!
This was such a special treat to see an hour long TC episode! Much appreciated!! 🐝
It really was! I could listen to Mike for hours and hours! This was amazing!
100%
I appreciate all hours of work in this story. You really are my favorite You Tube storyteller and you are a giving person that really throws in the hard work. To be honest though, I find the true crime stories speak to me more. I can feel emotions that I cannot feel here. Gotta be honest. Love ya Mike!
Actually in essence this story is still true crime & this man was a third party, serial killer considering the amount of people who died due to his actions. Incredibly fascinating story & so well done, thank you Mike. Absolutely welcome this type of story as well & it's always about quality not quantity, so when you post, we'll all be waiting. Bravo 👏
Yep, I think Hanssen qualifies as a serial killer. Kinda makes me wonder, did he ever confess the deaths of the other double agents to his priest?
This is one of my FAVES you’ve ever done! I’ve listened to it 3-4 times through Patreon already. WILD story!!
Also- LOVE the little blooper with the wifey at the end. Too cute!🤍
We love everything you do Mike. What a creep Hanssen was. Ughh feel so sorry for Bonnie and the people he betrayed that cost them their lives. Thanks for another great one!
This was so interesting, and I bet it took a long time to put together.
Still crime oriented, but so different.
Thanks Mike!
I enjoyed this.
Great story well told. I will set my opinion as being in favor of longer videos on any connected subjects to the typical fare of TC. I was fortunate enough to grow up around tellers of tales, and Mike has the gift of bringing back my favorite form of information gathering.
It’s the quick unexpected bits of humor for me 1:00:58 “dressed as always, like a mortician” came out of nowhere & KILLED me 😂 (no pun intended because morticians aren’t usually killers)
Best history lesson I've ever had. Awesome way to mix it up. Appreciate the entertainment Mike.
This isn't typically what I like to watch, but you really have a great way of explaining stories, drawing you back in and keeping it totally interesting! I like the normal vids you do, but this was a nice change up, plus AN HOUR!!! way to go!!!

Hoping too! So many more stories I wanna tell
It is actually true crime .
@@amyshew1151 Some people can't handle the truth. Makes it even more enjoyable.
I can't think of much that's more true crime than this.
I encourage you to continue with historical stories like this as you are evidently passionate about narratives / cases with a strong historical context. I would love to see you talk about more crime that need not be homicide & that has an important historical context. Even for those who do not enjoy history & politics, I believe your means of story telling makes those subjects interesting.
I liked the non-murder focused topic, can't always be the darkest stuff. And my husband isn't a really into murder stories so this was something he enjoyed watching. Great job Mike!
I mean... he didnt *directly* kill anyone _but..._
It was good to have that variety.
I love the deep dive into mysterious events. Fantastic work as always, Mike. Thanks!
Yesssss Mike! We love this longer form content!
This guy was probably responsible for more deaths in his time than some of the serial killers we see.
I feel so sorry for his poor wife finding all that out. Poor woman, thinking she has this wonderful God fearing man! And here he was a psychopath the whole time!
Not speaking to anyone in prison is probably another way of him keeping control of his life.
Look forward to more strange and interesting subjects.

Loved this style of content!
I truly enjoy your storytelling, but I'm not always in the mood for the darker, especially murder-y, tales. This hit the spot for an hour straight! ☺️
I genuinely love when you look into the history cases, Mike. This, the 17th century ship, and the serial killers from post-Revolution America are easily becoming my favorites
Fascinating story. I remember this case well. I remember being baffled at the time at the shear incompetence of our intelligence apparatus, but I don’t really know anything about how it all works. Similar to how I felt in the wake of 9/11. I kept thinking “How? How did they not know?” In the case of 9/11, I was especially incredulous because of the WTC bombing in the early 90’s. But in the case of Hanssen, it seems implausible to me that such a man could go for so long without anyone suspecting a thing. Not a single internal review over the course of 20 years clued anyone in that something was amiss? Again, just fascinating.
Annnnd alarming!!!
Because in the case of 9/11, they did know.
Heck, this video could have been like 2 hours long, and I still would have listened to it all the way through because you're such a good storyteller.
This really was a gripping tale, Mike! I mean, I could listen to you read a phone book - but this longer form little change in your content was a true (crime) knock out of the park! I watched it twice in a row, lol. Extremely entertaining and infinitely listenable as always. Thanks for all your hard work. Cheers!
Great episode Mike. It was very evident that you enjoyed researching and presenting it! The guy was ok with being caught. He wanted to show everyone how smart he was and that he had manipulated everyone around him. Power baby, its was what made him tick!

Another great video Mike. Check out the Johnny Walker spy ring. The only reason he was caught was his exwife reported him to the FBI. She didn't know that her Navy sailor son was involved with his father. Otherwise she wouldn't have turned him in. The movie "Family of Spies" was based on Walker.
@@fionanisbett3748 It's a true story but I wouldn't call it a comedy. I was on active duty during that time and saw first hand the affects of his actions.

Another RU who doesn't get enough recognition for preventing WW3 is Vasily Arkhipov. He refused to launch nukes during the Cuban missile crisis. Men like these deserve more praise for not "simply following orders."
Loving these deep dives into such a fascinating story.Thanks, Mike.
An interesting diversification for you Mike from covering cases of those who killed others by their own hands (or by instructing others) and I must say, into this precedent of an hour-long episode, so far you're absolutely outshone yoursel with some seriously good historical/contextual research.! From the look of some comments BTW if the makers of your shirts chose to sponsor you they'd do very well from it 😃. You're a wee diamond, many thanks for this.

I have to say this, when I saw a hour long video I was skeptical, but now that I finished is like it didn't even pass 25 minutes, what a storyteller you are, Mike.

Nice that you put your great talent for storytelling into a history-path as well! 😊
I'm halfway through it, Mike, and I love it! I love your videos, your delivery, style, etc., all the good stuff. But I like these types of videos, too! I'm sure the research is more time-consuming, but thank you for producing this one.
