Imagine you're a fly on the wall at

0:02

a dinner between the Mafia, the CIA, and

0:04

the KGB. That's where

0:07

my next podcast begins. This

0:09

is Neil Strauss, host of To Live and Die in

0:11

LA. I wanted to quickly share

0:13

with you the trailer for an intense new

0:16

series about a dangerous woman trained to seduce

0:18

men for their secrets and

0:20

sometimes their lives. This

0:22

is To Die For. In

0:28

June of 2011, I

0:30

received a call from the FBI. The

0:34

caller wanted me to fly to Washington,

0:36

D.C. and train several dozen intelligence agents.

0:39

As a writer and journalist, I was

0:42

confused. Trained them in what? I asked.

0:46

His answer? Seduction.

0:50

I had written a book called The Game about

0:53

several years I spent undercover in a secret society

0:55

of seduction experts. The

0:57

Game details his journey into the secret world

0:59

of pickup artists. He knows how to do

1:01

it. And to my complete shock, the man

1:03

on the phone informed me that the book

1:05

was required reading for him and his colleagues

1:08

in the FBI. In

1:10

our work where you're developing confidential

1:12

human sources and recruiting

1:14

spies, the understanding of how to develop

1:16

quick rapport and attraction is key and

1:19

critical. This is one of

1:21

the agents who was present at that session

1:23

and the former head of the FBI's behavioral

1:25

analysis program. He told

1:27

me that if I was surprised that

1:29

the American government uses seduction techniques, then

1:32

just wait till I hear how far the Russian

1:34

government is willing to go. As

1:38

a journalist, I decided to find out, and

1:40

soon uncovered a ring of Russian models sent

1:43

around the world with specific instructions.

1:46

All these girls were sent out

1:48

into the world, and they were

1:50

told, try to meet important men,

1:52

try to attach yourself to important

1:54

men. But no Russian spy was

1:56

willing to talk. And

2:06

military training. Or

2:08

story and reveal how the

2:11

Russian government sex in love

2:13

with deadly weapons. If you

2:15

want to kill, get started

2:18

the season. He

2:20

just he does in teach him

2:22

how learned thought having sex and

2:25

then he's very vulnerable seeking closing

2:27
