EARLY EPISODE: The Invasion of the Ryukyu Kingdom

Was a T28 outside the armor museum

Toronto has not suffered enough!

Props to Nate for calling Joe out on his "exscapes", lol.

I'm going to defend Nate on his pronunciation of Super Saiyan because saying "Saiyan" like that is more accurate to the Japanese pronunciation than the Americanized "Sei-an" pronunciation (though in Japanese they call it "Saiyajin" due to how referring to an ethnic group of people is obviously written differently than in English).

Hey, someone other than me and the Japanese like natto!

Giant ass tank T-28 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/T28_super-heavy_tank

The only thing I know about the Japanese occupation of Okinawa/Ryukyu is that when I was taking karate in middle and high school, we were taught that karate was invented on Okinawa as a way for the locals to fight the Japanese occupiers despite being forbidden from owning weapons. (Wikipedia tells me that historians have largely dismissed this origin story as false.)

I'm gonna defend Nate a bit here. Super Cyan is a thing. Sort of. Cyan is a fancy blue. And Super Saiyan Blue is a real thing... So Super Cyan. This won't happen often.

The tank at the end that you were talking about is the t95 super heavy tank. It also had the temporary designation of T28 at one point. Its gun is a high velocity (for the time) 105mm cannon. It's currently undergoing restoration. Its history is pretty interesting.

Fuck Nate your Toronto take is spot on

“He was the shogun’s decapitator” 😢 thank god Nate has some hiphop knowledge

It sucks the snake thing didn’t work, because we didn’t get to see the Ryukyu release the albino gorillas that feed on snake meat afterwards to deal with the reptile issue.

Strawberry Stalin

"Cyan" huh?

The Irish execution squad from “Live fast, eat grass” were the descendants of the snake bucket guys

I know a guy who can do a PERFECT Ronnie James Dio impression. He also breeds snakes and lizards

Well good thing this was the last time a horrific naval invasion occurred on the island Okinawa.

If the Japanese has Rip-It technology in 1942, they wouldn't have even bombed the harbor. The pilots would have just punched the ships as they flew past

There is Super Saiyan Blue, but I know Nate isn't cultured enough to have seen Dragonball Super

As a Midwestern corn farmer, I can attest that we do, in fact, go Super Cyan every morning

Nate getting bullied for mispronouncing Saiyan is the peak of this episode imo

The week I visited Paris - Notre Dame Burnt down, in the 12 hour period I was in London the Queen died. I have no further comment

Make Monarchists Cry Again

I appreciate the shout-out to Samurai Champloo. My absolute favorite anime.

Tom’s Ian paisley accent was spot on.

Portuguese TEC-9? Probably more reliable than a real TEC-9! (source: own a TEC-9)

Pol Pot Pomegranate! (seeds are counterrevolutionary)

Nate is right on the f'ed up class stuff and that marks and spencers is awful

Are we talking about the T28 prototype at the end?

Oh god, aerochrome. That price per roll? In this economy?

The doom turtle! Pretty sure thats the tank thing Nate was talking about

You guys are optimistic about the state of Toronto transit. Right now you can’t drive, walk or transit around the city. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will give you that the Leafs suck but that doesn’t stop me from going to a couple games a season.

I used to work at GNC. We got commission on certain items. The GNC on base at West Point was in my district and I used to love working there once or twice a week because I didn’t have to try to sell all of the crazy Jack-3D type stuff to make a killing on commission

Tom's right, we do need to honor and rehome our veteran venomous snakes

Bad news leninade is already a novelty soda

That exploding shaker cup probably saved your life. 3x jack3d and 2x rip-it sounds like a DMAA and caffeine overdose to me, god damn.

Read the notification as “The Invasion of Russia….” And I was like “Joe there’s no way…”
