EARLY EPISODE: The Gordon Relief Expedition

Gratiot is an avenue, not a road.

Tom seems to unironically have the same tragic taste in music as AJ from the Sopranos

Re: McGonagall: can it be that fhere are yet people who have not read the tay bridge disaster over a sausage lorne as part of a black mass version of Burns‘ night? He is so much more than just some guy. If Salieri is patron saint of mediocrity, he could claim to be the laird of minced words.

bigoted unc sensual nephew is just house harkonnen from dune

Nate, modern Egypt is not that much different to be honest with the being forced to build monuments for megalomaniacal maniacs in charge

Nate: Black Arquebus Tea Company Me: Literal spit take from laughter

Please...please...make a shirt of a camel in a starter jacket. Preferably the old camel cig pack camel, but copyright safe. Because starter jacket. Look in your heart. It needs to happen. I will buy three off the top.

Walk into a room, throw a rock into a British officer's lap and say, "Next one's coming at you faster."

All praise the square.

Sly in Vietnam took a bullet to the head, Bobby OD'd on Draino on the night that he was wed. These were two more friends of mine, friends of mine who died!

The Sensual Bigot sounds like a wrestler concept Vince McMahon would have forced someone to be in the 90s

Casual fans of "Dune" hearing Mahdi saying aloud "are the Fremen based on Arabs?"

I was so excited for this episode, I went back and relistened to the ‘Bad Gays’ podcast’s “Gordon of Khartoum” episode to hype myself up for this one. I think one particular aspect of Gordon’s Weird Officer Class British Empire Guy psychology mentioned in the ‘Bad Gays’ episode sort of explains why he didn’t leave, besides just your standard honor fixation: Gordon had a lifelong death wish, combined with extremely fervent and buckwild religious beliefs, and wrote in his journals and letters home that he wanted to end this life and get to the next as quickly as possible. In his earlier military career, he was well-known for leading his men from the front, unarmed. Never before has a man wanted to connect himself to God’s wi-fi so badly.

the events of this episode were fictionalized in The Four Feathers, from 2002, starring Heath Ledger

Holy shit, it's the car Joe crashed while high lol

Statue of him in the town i work in 🤣

TRENCH CRUSADE MENTIONED

Can you hire a guy to be the bigoted and sensual nephew at the live show?

The vacuum cleaner elephant after Fred Flintstone breaks his kneecaps for a late loan payment: "Eh. It's a living."

When Nate said "wrecked old car" I swear it sounded like "rectal cars"

There's times in the history of the British Empire that I can only look at their incompetence and wonder how the fuck they managed to colonise my people.

As a recovering Harry Potter fan, I regret to inform Joe that canonically William McGonagall is supposed to be Professor McGonigal’s ancestor. JRK said that was the inspiration for the name

So the madhists found a way into the sailors by the rear? As a gay man that feels ...homophobic

"I got a British homie named Chinese Gordon."

Bigoted Unc, Sensual Nephew are characters in the Gunmedia Them Art, the American variant of comedia del arte

Sorry Joe, this is John not Jon, so we have a Green Lantern getting connected to Oa's Wi-Fi

No no, it's fine, I just didn't expect the British to be Chinese.

As one of your Muslim listeners I can attest to the fact that Muslim uncles act like they’re the sixth pillar of Islam. It was only as an adult I realized “salat-ul-Uncle” wasn’t a real prayer.

Oh hell yeah
