The co-host gets a merit badge. A horribly depressing badge, but he gets it.
Took a fat rip of a bowl 10 minutes before this turned on via autoplay and what a depressing ride that was
Joe, you’re a genocide scholar and I have yet to see anything about Gaza in your feed. What the fuck is happening here?
He has talked about it a lot!
Did a Joe after listening to this
FSBae
I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard it like that
I went down this rabbit hole when I looked up where one of my favorite wrestlers is from, Beslan. Rip Besik Kudukhov
What was the video Joe referred to as one of the worst on the internet? I don’t wanna see it, I just wanna know what he’s talking about.
I assume its the radio calls between a Chechen fighter and a Russian officer where the Chechen fighter begs the Russian officer to leave or die.
Tom strapped to the chair like Chris Cornell in Soungarden’s “Blow Up The Outside” music video.
I've listened to almost every episode but I just got to the Knowledge Day part and I don't think I can continue
Joe if you want some REALLY DARK colonial history (if this wasn't enough for you), you should look into molasses and the history of sugar in general. All I can say is there will absolutely be ghosts in that industrial equipment.
Molassacre gets a mention!
oh hell yeah
yes
We NEED "Oh god, that one's about elephants dying." merch.
I don't know what could be more on brand 🤣
Fuuuuuuuuccckkkk
Just what I need to ease into a Monday morning. There better be animal facts
Just in time to make supper
I had a history professor who once told us that a key skill for a historian is to become desensitized to the most awful shit. He then made us watch a documentary on the Namibian genocide on the first day of the semester.
So that's what it's like to get blooded by your history professor.
Real talk anyone have a negative feedback loop from this and WTYP where you get excited for a new episode then realize you got excited over a tragedy? Also will there be a virtual component to the live show?
Yup. I was like “oh fuck yeah new episode!” then I saw the title and I though “fuck…dead kids…”
Please say there will be animal facts in this one
Oh nooo
Haven't even listened and I know this is gonna be a rough one man
