EARLY EPISODE: The American Suicide Fleet of WWI

uncle-nephew commanders of the party boat? close enough. welcome back (2000's pop duo) lmfao

Regarding the German Texas comments at around 10:00 - I recommend reading the Wikipedia article on the Adelsverein, the attempt by various members of German nobility to turn Texas into a German-speaking colony. My grandfather was fluent in Texas German so it's a subject I've always had a lot of interest in. Side note: The majority German-speaking counties were among the very few counties to vote against secession leading into the Civil War.

The power of the uncle nephew bond gave us LMFAO and produced the hit single "I'm sexy and I know it" so it can win us this war

My uncle is pretty cool I’m fine sitting in his shadow

I am at the dog park listening to this episode and what do you know, two horse cops walk right by. Had to oink oink at em’

No Bonus episode this week?

I would love if they did an episode on the attempted establishment of utopian communities by French colonist in the late 1840's and mid 1850's. The Icarians was a utopian movement who attempted to establish a colony around what is today Dallas Texas during the 1848 revolutions. Later another attempt occurred with "la Reunion" by French and Belgian colonist in 1855 in what is today modern Dallas. This was led by a man named Prosper Victor Considerant, which, despite his name, never really experienced any prosperity, victory nor was considerant. So many things went wrong from getting scammed to the unpredictability of texas weather, and crop failure.

The talk of names reminded me of my great-great-great grandfather, Socrates. Apparently all of his friends called him Crates. Which makes me assume he was the original So-crates.

Weird catching Tom making a Parker reference

wait till they find out about the czech town in central texas surrounded by the german ones

Berlin, Texas is just south of College Station.

Ok the slack channel joke made me snort at work

I know Tom has seen ‘The Terror’, so the fact that one of the first things that happens in this episode is an Irish guy asking about the rank of the captain’s dog is DEEPLY funny to me.

Then the navy revived the yacht program with similar results known as the LCS fleet

Tom apologizing to the crocs of Northern Queensland but absolutely not to the Erwins.

If you go to Baltimore be sure to check out the Bromoseltzer tower.

Bush Jr was a cheerleader too

"Emu" derives either from an Arabic or Portuguese word for large bird. No idea why the Australian colonists went with that rather than an Aboriginal word.

Actually, duct tape was invented in 1943... by Vesta Stoudt? A munitions factory worker? During World War II? To seal ammunition boxes? God! This snark was brought to you by 6 Warsteiners and google AI.

The reason there are so many Germans in Texas is because of Project Paperclip, which brought thousands of Nazi rocket scientists and their families to Houston. Same reason there is a large German population in Alabama, especially around Huntsville.

What about police dogs? Like the crime sniffers.

You hate to inform your bro that your ship has broken down and requires a tow, just to get hit with the "Damn just like me fr fr"

My downtown uses big draft horses at night when the bars close. My bestie was a bartender and one of the horses knocked her car’s mirror off when they were chasing someone So yes to acab

Nate had to put down the posting katana and become a dad

Hey guys, if you really want a true model for the Atlantic accent that we think is now extinct just check out the Simpsons mayor Quimby

Will there be fourth meal served at the next live show?

No! No free crocs and definitely no armed crocs. They live in the mangroves and the golf course pond near my family’s place and I have to furtively run past it. I’ll be giving it the nervous side eye while I’m super sweaty and my thighs awkwardly rub together and German tourists watch me from a distance.

"Pointing at dolphins and screaming": me high as hell watching Animal Planet

FDR always really liked the Navy. The USS Houston was his favorite until it got sunk and he loved to participate in the rituals aboard such as the crossing of the equator.

That submarine would need to be called a Yao-Boot. Wilmington was in 1898, but otherwise yeah, I was going to bring that up about how much of a huge piece of shit Daniels was. Here’s a solid book on that whole incident: https://bookshop.org/p/books/wilmington-s-lie-winner-of-the-2021-pulitzer-prize-the-murderous-coup-of-1898-and-the-rise-of-white-supremacy-david-zucchino/12471037?ean=9780802148650&next=t Plus there was the thing about FDR covering up the absurd anti-gay “investigation” in Newport.

*Yaos Ming

Does ACAB include the Chinese Police Corgi who had his bonus treats taken away for sleeping on the job??

Oh oh! Instead of a suicidal fleet, what about the ocean liner with a bloodlust for other ships, RMS Olympic! Her WW1 career gave her the sole distinction of being the only merchant ship to ram and sink a submarine in combat.

Know old half dead French bulldogs like I do, I bet that dog had horrendous farts. Which he did constantly.

Both of the Bushes were cheerleaders at Yale!

3rd!

I can't separate FDR as Secretary of the Navy from his complete surprise that some sailors are homosexual. He authorized an investigation for reports on it. DETAILED REPORTS.

First! I shall now drink the ceremonial victory Monster.
