EARLY: Operation Vengeance

The "little guy from Idaho inside a spud gun" theory is not that far off. After the war, Thomas George Lanphier Jr. lived in Boise where he was an editor at the Idaho Statesman.

"will we go to war with Iran? Probably not." Dammit guys say Jynx next time 😭

Shit my britches at NOVA Open please retweet

I was expecting some anecdotes about Yamamoto, be use there are a lot of them. Like him being a prolific gambler to the point of sometimes going into debt or betting on war related stuff. I have to go and find my notes I wrote but there are good ones.

Tall Bike Jousting, ask me how I tore my left Achilles Tendon.

Bayonet fencing's a lot of fun.

I’ve been randomly saying “You pussy, Yamamoto!” For three days now

So, what you're saying that audie Murphy is gotrek gurnisson?

Joe your opening is giving my ‘Joe is doing live shows under duress’ conspiracy theory so much fuel….

I could sense Joe’s brain floating away from his body Homer Simpson style at around 38:00 when Tom started going into music minutia.

Tom, you talk so much about your Neon Genesis Evangelion tattoo, when do we get to see it?

Get in the fucking plane Shinji

All hail The Irish Gustov!

Those missionaries got heathenzoned

There was literally an Oscar winning short film about a neo-nazi who gets full body tattooed by a black guy as punishment for being a neo-nazi, and he then gets shot by his son because he thinks he's black. It's called Skin (2018).

Combined Sport: Baseball & Hopscotch.

AU Irish Empire Generals be like "Where do you put the potato?"

"I can be against an assassination without liking the guy" prescient words

Good one Joe… thank god it was just you and Tom… actually could follow the story without hearing Nate drone on about how cool he is 🤣🤣🤣

This is how I learn the man who commanded the Japanese Navy was adopted into his family like Seto Kaiba. Making the A6M5 Zero the Blue Eyes White Dragon of WW2

Hey Tom, "Rex" is latin for king.

can’t believe they got him with the Idaho contraption

Danny Bongo? I love it!

And I'll bet the pilots all wrote books about claiming those two shots were from their plane.

Can confirm: The Hinkley Hilton is not close to any quick food.

WWII and a Fred Neil side quest? My neurodivergent interests just climaxed

Pretty sure all of the surviving pilots on the American side got a gag order and sent home immediately for training duties for the rest of the war, to keep them away from potential Japanese reprisals. All the surviving Japanese pilots also got a gag order, were sent to the Solomons and told to die honorably. I think one guy survived the war.

Even Tarantino would be disgusted by that toe sucking bit….

Karaage is JFC

Doomsday potato gun is just the Davy Crockeyy

The other other first rule of flying: Takeoff is optional, landing is mandatory

mma and competitive swimming. I call it 'drowning'

Can confirm that the DC Hilton where Reagan was shot is uniquely situated so it isn't a super convient walk to either DuPont Circle or Adams Morgan where there are lots of places to eat. If you're not at a con it's a nice walk to either part of town. I should know I was trapped there at a college radio convention when I was in college.

Wait. I thought waffle stomping was when you take a dump in the shower and you squish the turd thru the drain with your foot?

Not sure if it meets the criteria for “Random Irish Guy Shows Up” but as Lenin was mentioned: I read somewhere that Lenin learned English from a guy from Dublin. Which means Tom can do bits as Lenin using his Conor McGregor voice

I really want to know who Yamamoto played bridge against.

Oh how was your NOVA Open trip?

So he’s Japanese Christopher moltasanti

Mmm...P-38 Lightning. The most beautiful piston engine plane ever built. Suck it Spitfire fans!

WOOO SUNDAY RELEASE!!1!1!

Yay!!!!
