Once upon a time, a man became a wandering warrior, testing himself against the best in the land and beat the hell out of them with a combination of hyper violence and trolling.

Yo Joe!!!🤌
Boer Mecca would just be eastern Kentucky.
too much politics and riffing beter when ir was about history
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.
Bro, comment checking castbox? Heck yeah! Keep doing great things!
cock sparer is a million times better than Green Day
one of my favourite history podcasts. hilarious and informative. I listen to it religiously.
Nate tries not to interrupt Joe every 5 seconds challenge: Impossible
you can't tell which way the wind blows without a weather man.
Also a young Karl Marx was a brawler.
22:10 I guess the Japanese military transformed into fox News fabricating lies that created riots like Jan 6th.
i wish I only spent 3 years in Kentucky
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
personally I haven't had a full night of sleep since last year no matter what time I go to bed I get up at the same time.
Da comrade mouseawitz, our proletariat teeth shall destroy capitalism!
I wish My Chemical romance was thrown in a gulag and I would not have to hear their watered down fakes ass poser pop punk.
yes country goth music exists and it's fucking terrible.
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
jeez, joe is such a libtard
