Great history, painfully terrible banter.

Henrico is pronounced ”hen-RYE-co” because Virginia is a very normal place

What’s crazy is Gen z is older than the confederacy ever was. But people still say it is their ”Heritage”

The focus of this episode really confused me, but you still made that entertaining! Absolutely hope you cover Mongols, etc, and East Asian history to war - very neglected despite popular demand. Just look at Supernova in the East.

For those that wonder what the SLR rifle used by 1 Para, it’s the British-adopted version of the FN FAL, firing the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. This round is still used as the round for M240B/FN MAG medium machine gun. A great history that covers The Troubles is ”The IRA” by Tim Pat Coogan. His section on the Battle of the Bogside is extremely eye-opening. The amount of CS tear gas the British used in that neighborhood over three days is insane.

Joe ur podcast is good and I like it, but saying ”content warning: it’s bad” does not inform. You have to be explicit, like ”mass murder of hostages, mass murder of women, suicide bombs, shooting deaths, children conscripted to dispose of exploded human remains.”

In the end everyone died and became a part of the corpse based infrastructure.

The response of the people of Nanking to John Rabe’s post-war misery is the only raft of goodness to cling to in this f-ing tempest. Truly a complicated man, but I gotta have respect and admiration for personally saving so many. It was very brave, and you also left out my man was diabetic XD he was rolling through those streets in his batman cape shooting insulin the whole time. Unbelievable story truly. I hope to visit his house in Nanking one day, it’s a museum I hear.

Moxy Früvous is terrible?! Gian aside, they were amazing and you are clearly just trying to goad Canada into invading.

I like how, out of nowhere, there’s wheezing laughter and then a weirdly specific reminder of the Manic Street Preacher guys disappearance.
