This episode hits different three years on from October 2023. Nice to know you guys have always understood exactly what the state of Israel is and what the IDF exists to do.
Tag team name could be, "The Kabal!"
I love the Nate knowledge dumps. Also I'm sure I read somewhere in some academic text they did go in on blackface but it was years ago.
i'd like to second the motion to appreciate the nate knowledge dumps the tangents have always been one of the best parts of the show
Tag team name: The TBI GI’s or The NWO But pay up the conspiracy theory stereotypes.
lmao at the tbi gi's
Man, didn't expect stealing valor from Amy McGrath /s
Love the episode. Question : did you mean Rabin instead of Begin at the beginning (re: Israeli PM assassinated by right wing extremist)?
yeah lol whoops
Joe: The Armeniac. Finishing move: Caucus Crusher. Nate: Producer Pain. Finishing move: The Podsmash. Tag Team Name: The Euro-Yanks, or Yanks in Europe.
I was actually on vacation during 9/11, I was in fourth grade, I'm pretty sure. I distinctly remember how difficult it was to get on a flight after the trip.
I was in 3rd grade my father was on a business convention on the other side of the US and due to get back the evening of the 11th. His flight was like noon est. He and several of his coworkers rented a car and drove nonstop.
If Joe’s wrestling gimmick involves being Soviet and Nate’s involves being Jewish, I think the tag team name has to be a Trotsky joke, but I can’t think of it yet.
Something something Juedo Bolshevism
Nate you talk too much, we know your smart just chill.
Let him cook
This and the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 became the basis for Canon's Delta Force. Which made it hard to listen to the episode only as the theme from Delta Force kept playing in my head.
joes wrestling name: the Mad Albanian nate wrestling name: Captain of the British Transgenders tag team name: Unwelcome in England finishing move: nate pulls alice caldwell-kelly out of the crowd and uses her like a folding chair
The only other airport in England doing that same process as London City is Teesside International lol
Oh come on. An episode about Israel and no Liam? Alright I guess I’ll still let me ear holes enjoy it.
Would love to hear more small scale episodes like this, some truly crazy operations out there. The drag disguise one might be a good start 😂 Now I'm just imaging more historical ones like a bunch of knights dressed as nuns to infiltrate a castle and I'm all for it.
Joe sounds extra dead this time!
