For reasons unclear to me, real tobacco snus is still available in Bavarian gas stations
The BossTones broke up in 2022 because everyone else in the band thought Dickie Barrett was being an ass about Covid.
Exercise physiologist here, can confirm we are in league with the military-industrial complex. But we hate chiropractors.
Ska can be described as "what plays in a 13-year-old kid's head when he gets extra mozzarella sticks"
"The impression that I get", feels like the outro song to a late 90s coming of age, or adventure comedy movie.
pod based smedley butler deployment system would've ended the halo franchise so much sooner
If you'd have asked me before this series I'd have thought I learned something about the Boxer Rebellion in university but clearly it was absolutely not even enough compared to this 馃槶馃槶馃槶
My chiropractor fixed my sciatica but hey, some podcasters surely know better.
I mean, look up why people consider chiropractors quacks. I can't speak on your situation, but it's not unfounded that it's based on nonsense.
Re: stoner guy who becomes a lawyer in DC: currently listening to this podcast from my L鈥橢nfant Plaza office, where half my coworkers are Deadheads.
I just finished five weeks of Zecher Squats lol.
why would you ruin cap鈥檔 crunch for us? 馃槶馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ
Upstroke guitar might not have fixed it, but it sure helped!
So the whole ska discussion around 23 minutes in just made me think of the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. Joe, I don't understand how you can be a hater of one of the best music genres out there. Like I absolutely would party with these guys and their cool Asian dad energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZm4-L35TJo
I just realized that the Boxers were doing an Ork WAAAGH into Russian soldiers, who were fighting like one of those weird old time imperial guard regiments
Smedley Butler is a secret World Eater.
Smedley Butler is just Kharn the Betrayer in a past life
DD Palmer was his name and he was visited by a dead doctor in a dream. Friend of the pod, Robert Evans did a great episode on it.
Deadlifts on back day is glorious
I鈥檓 waiting for the John Daly sighting
Okay with the ska boxer joke, that got me. That sounds like a joke in bobo-bobo-bobo. Also I agree with Tom, I will not tolerate the ska slander.
This mini series show how powerful the united theory of "fuck that guy" with both the allies and the boxers with the qing army
馃幍Have you ever been close to genocide, I've been close to folks who have馃幍- mighty mighty boxer tones
Love the anti chiropractor talk. They are grifters who do nothing to help at best, royally fuck someone up at worst.
A fellow chiropractor hater! I am reminded of what my dad said when I asked what a chiropractor was, "It's a doctor who washes his hand in a toilet."
According to my brother one factoid is that the Japanese were so out of control that the German officers of all people asked the Japanese officers to tell their soldiers to calm down on the rape and looting cause it was slowing down the military operation. I don鈥檛 know if any of Joe鈥檚 the sources corroborate that event
The IGA: Look we have no problem with y'all terrorizing the locals, but there's a time and a place to Genghis Khan...
I鈥檓 staring at the title and I can already tell this is gonna be a fucked episode.
Interestingly, the behavior of the Allied forces during the Boxer Rebellion is often used by Imperial Japanese apologists and officers of the time to explain IJA war crimes. Essentially it came down to, we saw you do it so we thought it was okay.
That's a weird level of self-infantizing I've not heard before.
Does the corpse road lead to the corpse dam?
You're thinking of the corpse Maintenance Road
