Hey everybody, this is Giles, or you might know me as Mr. Monsters.

If you're a fan of my show, I'd like to recommend you listen to another show called the Jordan

Harbinger Show. You might have already heard of the show because it's won a bunch of

podcast awards.

The Jordan Harbinger show dives into the minds of fascinating people from athletes, authors, and scientists

to mobsters, spies, and hostage negotiators.

Jordan has a gift for getting his guests to reveal never been heard before stories and

insights so we can learn from their unique superpowers.

The reason I listen to Jordan's show is some of his recent guests who have been

fascinating, like a conversation he had with Molly Bloom, author and subject of the air in

Sorkin film Molly's game, or former KGB spy and author Jack Barsky. Check it out.

I was untouchable. I was above the law. I was always bypassing customs and

passport control. So a young person that really feels good because I never

liked rules.

How did you flip to eventually becoming full American?

I know they tried to call you home.

Can you take us through that?

They called me back as an emergency

departure. They've done this in the past who called back an agent and as soon as they

step on Soviet soil they are jailed or even executed. I was stalling the Soviets and then one day they send one of their

resident agents and he said to me you've got to come home where else you're dead.

It was a threat. I decided I would defy them and tell them that I'm not returning. I will not betray any secrets and please give the money on my account to my German family.
