EARLY EPISODE: The Cuxhaven Raid

I just listened to this episode. And two days ago, I just discovered the Canberra Centennial Sky Whale. That, with all your talk of sky whales, has created quite the mental image of this event. o_O

Protect your sprouts would be a hilarious sticker!!

Also to note, Erskine Childers was a famous author- having written a book called The Riddle of the Sands about a decade before that laid out a hypothetical German invasion of England by sea

A Dutchman shows up on Christmas and there’s not one extended riff about Zwarte Piet?

Find A Way To Hate It *and* Signal Fire? We're being spoiled this summer.

Not the peaceful magic filled Bronze Age of Earthsea? Cmaaaaan.

Is it just me, or is every time Joe says Cuxhaven dubbed in? Something's off lol, how badly did he pronounce it at first

Cuxhaven, where the streets are paved with Stools.

An hour of talking about Cuck's Haven and not a single joke about it. I don't know if I should be proud or disappointed

You can read about fighting actual sky whales in Scott Westerfeld’s Leviathan series of books about alternate WW1 between the Clankers(use mechs and diesel tech) vs the Darwinists(use bio engineered animals).

the post-production [cuxhaven] swap-ins are simply 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

This is Joe priming us for a terrible atrocity soon coming.

I will give y’all a laugh, google “NOS tanks at raves or Grateful Dead concerts”. They used to have six foot tall NOS tanks presumably stolen or bought on the streets that were hospital grade NOS. Now as kids would do in the states, they either did “whip its” the canned whip cream or like y’all said the mini tanks for the soda tanks. They used balloons or those old fashioned bar soda tankers to avoid the cold burns. You can still just buy them in most cities or order online. The big NOS tanks were nuts. You’d get a balloon twice the size of your head and plop down five bucks. Those NOS ballon dealers made bank. And made a lot of people stupid.

I literally just listened to the air mail episode

Also, Erskine Childers was the Irish Nationalist who smuggled guns for the Easter Rising on his pleasure boat!

The Airship Skywhale is literally a thing in the book Leviathan. Biopunk Entente vs Dieselpunk Central Powers.

How did they not make the obvious joke even once?!

Gonna shill my fave childhood book series Leviathan if you want to see blimps that are actually sky whales in 1914 and also cool-ass steampunk mechs.

The isekai question depends a lot on whether or not you are the main character

The commander of the German Zeppelin Fleet, Herr Heade

As I recall no one died in the Michigan-Ohio war either.

you're a fisherman who just finished saving this random British guy and you manage to bond with him over a shared love of racist imperialism, so you do the highest honor you can do in your culture and invite him to a nice dinner of dried fish and-- oh noooooo.

The bombed brussel sprouts make me think of the cabbage merchant Aang kept crashing into in The Last Airbender.

Hearing Tom mis pronounce soccer clubs makes me giggle

The Great Boston Mooninite Panic is one of my favorite hysterias.

Wait, we didn’t get Nate or Tom’s portal fantasy worlds!

Normal buttholes

But are the butthole stickers „scratch and sniff”

A raid seems like something cux would enjoy haven

the cuck haven raid seems about right

Glad to see the Netherlands also has the curse of the anus stickers.
