I’m All here for the Kassabian dabs
I feel like a Victorian would be unimpressed with most of our drugs considering heroin/cannabis/cocaine tinctures in pure grain alcohol were sold over the counter then. Meanwhile the aluminum we casually use would have been egregious expensive to them.
As an Australian I OBJECT to your characterisation of pies as shit. It's not our fault you Americans never figured out the wonder that is a glorious, hot, savoury pie.
Bro I like savory pies as much as I like homemade huckleberry/blackberry pies. Which is a lot
Tangyanika Groundnut Scheme's a hilariously British affair 50 years later right next door. It's got bees, disease, completely preventable disease, unstoppable trees, Sherman tanks, anchor chains, organized labor, Very British Dudes having a lot of bad days, and a hilariously negative ROI.
God, every time LLBD covers a time German people and English people fight each other somewhere outside of Europe, it’s an absolute clownshow. I was waiting for the bees to show up. 🐝🐝🐝
There was a 19th century kingdom in West Africa called Dahomey where this Brazilian slave trader did a coup and installed a king friendly to his interests, and it was such a slave state the king outlawed getting rich by any means other than the slave trade.
Oooh my answer to the question would be to show them Slow Scan Television signals. Sending a picture, Wirelessly, through sound/radio.
I was deployedin jeb Ali in 2010 was interesting seeing the 25 men to a conex box living situation. Meanwhile half the city is empty towers. And the other half is under construction empty towers.
Shame I was expecting a six parter
This episode could have been called “The Cleopatra Syndrome” And yes I know I know not actually allegedly correct because she supposedly spoke the local language.
This podcast sounds like Joe and Nate did the fusion dance, and then did a podcast with Joe and Nate.
Joeception
Joe and Riley sound. exactly the same to me.
As soon as joe brought up how late the sultan had public works built dispute the wealth I instantly supplanted a contemporary UAE mic-mansion ass prince as in charge of the island.
The guest kinda sound like sophist from party crashers
I bet when it got hot enough the walls and floor of the harem would sweat like old dynamite
Of course a British naval guy would train sub officers and not top officers
Im a white guy from NE and I completely understand what joe means
Re: white guys in Nebraska; look up the Cloisters on the Plains.
So not only the sotadic zone impacts British people
“The sultan of Oman lives in Zanzibar now” -Bill Wurtz
You know how in Boney Island Whitefish there's a ding when the discussion runs longer than the Bones episode? Shoulda done the same thing for this one
Wow… chirps are flying about Toronto sports teams this morning eh bud? Lol! Just cuz the Leafs haven’t won a cup in living memory, at least the Jays and the Raps have
The sotadic zone but Islam weebery.
Just woke up to a crossover! *In my Kronk voice “Oh yeah, it’s all coming together now”
An episode longer than the "war" it covers.
TF / Donk crossovers bring me such joy :3
Crossovers, that's what they want these days.
