The Mongols were just the fucking worst. This is the only time in history where samurai are involved in the battle and I'm on THEIR side.
The cat lady equivalent is deff the kind of guy/ person who gets mad at you for misgendering your dog “She’s so cute!” “He’s a HE”
Scythia was such a metal culture, one of my fave from the "classical" period by far. They were such brutal raiders that the Greeks had a term which roughly translated to "Sycthianise" which was slang for scalping
Lions milked by donkeys
Come on Tom, you know if they still had Fripp, In The Court Of The Golden Horde would've slapped!!! Still Larks Tounges in Aspic for me!
Unexpected mustelid slander on this podcast, smdh. Ferrets are cute little guys that just want to sleep and hide all your shit
No Context Lions Led By Donkeys: "You're not a Mongol, I'll not drink your milk".
Re(quest)ion from the legion: can you make an episode on the wreck of the Batavia? Maritime history, drama, and definitely a donkey or 2 leading the whole mess
Jilking off

Jilk is proudly made in small batches by the brothers and sisters of the JDSU.
Alcoholic horse milk puts the nasty in the Khan Dynasty
The corpse infrastructure project is going way beyond scope with the decorative ship panels.
Kublai Khan would get his revenge via Mongolians dominating sumo wrestling.
Always love to hear when I have a thing in common with Joe, namely the watching of the history channel at age 10 to an unhealthy level
Question from the Legion: Thoughts on Alternate History? Broke : Hitler wins the War Bespoke : Drakka win the planet.
Piggybacking on this: 39th Parallel Korea.
Fun fact: the Indonesian government shut down Komodo national park for a while because people kept stealing the dragons
Wait we’re back to the old intro?
I read warhammer 40k books like the massive nerd I am, nothing I read came close the shit the mongols did. Great episode, just wondering, any interest in an Imjin war series?
That is an awesome suggestion especially with yi sun shi (I think I mess his name)
Left is the bad one...
Re: 37:34, the horse union would earn a reputation for voting “nay” on a lot of contracts
If you have never passed out, or had an out of body experience while deadlifting, you haven't been doing enough deadlifts 🖤
Should we start a GoFundMe to get Joe a milking machine? We can give it to him at the first London show.
Used to know this girl with a couple ferrets. We would shoot nerf guns around her apartment and the ferrets would collect every singe dart and put them in a specific cabinet. Weird animals.
Oh fuck ya
My ex-girlfriend’s grandma was literally the old grumpy version of the ferret person!
Ah yes, that time the Mongols tried to invade Japan and then died in a tornado (actually a typhoon). Absolutely fantastic Blazing Saddles reference by Tom at 10:00.
Was listing to Behind The Bastards. I see the notification for LLBD… I click. I’m a simple man. Thanks guys!
The inescapable BtB to LLBD or vice versa train lmao
