Brother’s Home (E316)

Will this be the future of how RFK Jr “ wellness center be run “

"This has always been us" 😔

Jake has graduated from the Travis V School of Despair! This was just horrifying to listen to.

Trump is basically Bad President from OATS Studios

Terribly bleak but C.O.P.S. does pop up in my brain occasionally and I have to Google to confirm that it was a real show and not some random copaganda fever dream

at the end of the episode, talking about how everyone seems to have descended into a narcotic haze of pilledness, youre completely right, and i dont mean just online. i dress 40s vintage daily and have done so for years. im used to weird comments from strangers. but since january ive been getting told bizarre conspiracy crap: i went into a convenience store this morning and a guy told me i look like amelia earheart with with a tone like he suspected that i was her, immortal. two days ago, a woman at the bus stop gave me a half-hour long monologue including how she suspects instapots are exploding and killing people in her building due to static electricity and how a homeopathic treatment killed her son. another bus stop guy asked me if i work for The Government (i am a cleaner). even fucking pick up artists are magnetized to my location. i dont mind talking to conspiracyheads on the street because most of them are just lonely people in a bad situation who want to be treated like a human person with basic dignity, but it's gone real bad out there.

I have been obsessed with this story for years and no one knew or talked about it.

The more I learn about the cold war era the more angry I get.

Jake Rockatansky

Did not expect so many patriots in the comments section to be upset by Julian pointing out that the US is in fact the Great Satan.

Love the pod and Julien, but the US was “by far the most evil country after WWII”? Just a belligerent commentary, especially considering Mao’s reign dwarfs all the terrible things the US and other countries did combined. Not to defend it, but let’s stay in the realm of reality on a podcast whose theme is NOT spreading falsehoods.

After reading the description, it took me several days to gather the courage to press play on this. Here we (reluctantly) go....

One of my favorite things is Jake becoming more and more of a leftist and coming to the comments and watching all the mostly Lib folk be like I don’t necessarily agree with what he says about Obama. Additionally, C.O.P.S was a great show fighting crime in the future time.

Mind blowing.

Brad was deported during the last part of this episode. RIP.

🎵 Alien, you looks good, won't you back that moon up

This episode hurt, knowing that I know some, well, adults now, that were adopted from Korea under mysterious circumstances around that time. We haven't gotten much better either, do many easy ways to slip back into this

I don’t know what this says about me, but as a longtime listener this is the first episode I’ve ever had to turn off and don’t know when I’ll have the stomach to finish. Bravo, Jake. Harrowing reporting.

every time they play a tiktok clip with the spooky music and someone dumping info lol.

"Jake... Close your miiiind..." 😆

adoption...yay. Like regular infant adoption isn't straight up human trafficking.

Thank you Jake

I rarely comment, but I need to say that this was an excellent episode. Great work Jake.

incredibly bleak, it's also infuriating that this came from an influencer trying to make a bogus connection to an tragic human rights violation that is still not fully recognized today.

Jfc... People that use Christianity to justify atrocities never fail to break my brain (further).

Horrible story, thanks.

You can do anything, anything at all if you label it anti-communist. A lot of Americans are going to/are already in the process of learning this lesson unfortunately.

Jesus Christ boys, this one is so depressing that it's borderline unlistenable 😞

“It is our god-given right in these horrible times to be extremely high at work.”

I like how they only got him on embezzlement charges. Like they don't care about the child slavery and abuse, but misappropriating the funds the government gave them to sweep up undesirables? Unforgivable.

If I offer my firstborn child to Amazon’s bag sorter academy for success I get a 4K rebate on my prime respiratory insurance

"It is our god given right to be high at work" amen brother

This one was really dark.

this episode is really good, thanks for capping it with the conspiracy theory at the end to help ground us after all that horrifying info

It's really sad how zionists and their sick ideology was influencing america in the 1960s.

Brad Abrahams

Absolutely fucking disgusting someone is able to take bits and pieces of something tragic and heartbreaking as the Brothers Home concentration camps and just flip it to something completely unrelated in order to garner attention. Really had an opportunity to showcase people that democratic institutions like South Korea are just harbingers of the most ruthless people in history. Instead, the dipshit had to connect it to a Netflix series because Americans have the attention and perception of goldfish. Can’t remember which host said this but Americans really do have this moronic innate ability to only connect things to the cultural slop they’re ingesting at the time.

South Korea learned terror from the best: the USA. The children being stolen off the streets of s Korea werw no different from the babies being stolen in Palestine TODAY and thrown in cages by the USA/israel. Or being stolen in the USA and thrown in cages. This is all still happening. Capitalism and believing money is more important than life is a fucking death cult.

Amazing how they keep making "over the top" jokes and jake is like....well it's worse

Blowback mentioned

Horrifying story, that TikTok guy should suck start a shotgun tho

And they had deep ties to the KCIA.

This episode just might be the darkest one yet. And as a former conservative Presbyterian, of course it was the fucking Presbyterians in South Korea.

Last night I dreamt that Julian was in a relationship with Sandra Bullock. That's all. (I think I may have been listening to too much QAA).

Hold up, does the USA NOT have all day breakfast? Catch up Canada passed that law like 7 years ago. Honestly around the time pot was legalized 🤣

You know what Jake? I AM in bed! I was not expecting this ep to be so fucked up! That was awful, thank you! I asked my husband to listen to an exciting fun new Jake ep with me on his day off and I am relieved my husband didnt take me up on that offer because I falsely told him it would be a romp. Also I am totally down with calling the USA evil, but of what I hear from people in formerly Soviet states they don't have fantastic things to say about communism either. The corrupt evil power hungry freaks seemed to be different flavours of fucked during the post-war era.

Great episode so far but I don’t know if I will be able to finish it tbh.

I really hope I’m right and there is no god. The alternative is too disturbing.

Even if Jill signed things, Eleanor set the precedent. MAGAs might know that if they were literate. This is the worst timeline.

The Oscar nominated film Nickel Boys, from last year, is about this happening in Florida in the sixties.

You learn as a kid: Some animals eat their own young. You learn as an adult: Humans are so much worse.

horrifying choice, jake, but thanks for covering it. south korea’s very dark history gets glossed over too frequently

Biden looks like he's been Get Outed but you can see from his eyes shifting uncomfortably that he's still in there somewhere

Guy who's only seen Squid Game, seeing something bad happen in South Korea: Getting a lot of Squid Game vibes from this...

fuck, this one is so depressing

Instead of using a stamp instead of an autopen machine, why not a wax seal like a king? That’s what I want to see.

Thanks Jake, I hate it.

Liv Aintgar 😔

Julian Feeld

JAKE ROCKATANSKY

Hell yeah, I wasn't depressed enough before.

An essness game? Nice try Julian

Jesus fuck that is a grim description.

You guys have perfect timing. I needed something to fall asleep till tonight, nothing like Julien shouting [beeeeeeppp] for a restful sleep
