Department of War is so much more honest than Department of Defense
Someone please tell me what’s wrong with County Cork? I have no idea one way or the other lol
The Gutierrez-Magee Expedition finally explains the existence of combination Irish pub/mexican restaurants that populate the American Midwest, e.g. Carlos O’Kelly’s.
I don't know why but it never occurred to me that Nate knows of Narco Corridos. His pronunciation gives me life! Keep up the great work!
"Yer a wizard, Nate" -Joe
Why did I think this was going to be a mecca and Medina story for Ramadan lol
I wish Nate would talk like this all the time. Is there a Patreon tier for that? Ala Cameo format?
Katy Perry is not responsible for "Fight Song", but she did make the similarly bland motivational track "Roar".
I’ve never been in the military but I am thrilled to accept the general’s position. Everything I’ve learned about leading armies I’ve learned from this show. What could go wrong?
Joe, if you could work "liver shot" into more scripts that would be greatly appreciated.
Holy shit my hometown (natchitoches) mentioned and even more shockingly pronounced correctly
I'm not from there, close enough to know how to say it though. I was incredibly impressed with Joe saying it right!
Nate, there’s a White Settlement, TX just north of Fort Worth lmao
If you use limit break: Horse during sex, you just die
The netcode for war used to suck. Everybody was lagging and every region kept getting match made against Irshmen
I'm so sorry Joe. You have too much higher learning, you're a wizard too. Nate is probably a druid honestly, similar skills, less specific study, more utility caster.
Nate would be a summon build druid, because officers never do anything themselves
Steel Reserve slander will not be tolerated
Left for a second to go get food and return to hear Joe say, with apparent total sincerity, 'I need to murder this child'. Just llbd things.
Well, it's a close run thing, but I have to agree Napoleon III is the stupidest Bonaparte.
Just finished BTB episodes on him yesterday 🤣💯 a single French man's jaw probably agrees
LOL! My Mom lives near Medina! It is not a big place so I assumed it was any other Medina.
I cannot say how confusing the cold open was since I definitely thought this was gonna be about a battle in Medina, Saudi Arabia, but Im glad I rolled with it!
Would like an ep on the Business Plot. Kinda get the feel Joe has a similar feel to me that how serious it actually was has been exaggerated over the years
If it's the Gulf of America, then we have the Mall of Mexico.
This battle was neither funky nor cold, what the hell
So during this period what would become the United States was flooding what would become Mexico with guns. I’m so glad we don’t do that anymore.
I will said if you do go back to Mexico. I recommend the ten tragic days or other battles in Mexico revolution.
I had to slow down the cold open to 3/4 speed. Even Joe sounded convincing. Also made it tolerable somehow.
Joe does a great southern accent, he must have been practicing lol
Saw a meme. Said something along the lines that "sci-fy has always been woke". And I kind of want it as a bumper sticker.
Especially movements like new wave era and cyberpunk.
Bless your heart Nate. Never try to do a southern drawl again.
Do it more!
Wake up babe, new podcast just dropped and I forgot how loud the fucking intro song was while you were taking a nap next to me.
