y'all, I'm sorry, but you gotta edit out some of these tangents. I can't even follow the narrative most times, because you get so off topic.

22:10 I guess the Japanese military transformed into fox News fabricating lies that created riots like Jan 6th.

Tom's series are all dry and boring. His scripts are not as good as Joe's. I had to stop listening to both the IRA series and this one because I got so bored I couldn't pay attention. It would be unwise to let Tom write another series. This podcast loses it's magic when he does. Joe's scriptwriting abilities are much better. #NoMoreTom

And people wonder why I don't support the military, they never supported the workers. Why should I side with people willing to kill me and everyone I love to keep workers from basic human dignity.

the quality has clearly declined he last couple of years. joe might hold a phd, but the scripts are poorer and poorer written, read in a stilted manner and the superficiality of how the material is treated makes me prettt sure its generally based on a patted wiki search. its a shame though, it used to be pretty good at times

I won't be surprised if it turns out that 3/4s of all strip club are just fronts for various criminal organizations, like the mob, or CIA
