00:04:30   first to understand every all the [TS]

00:04:34   nuances it was it before you were really [TS]

00:04:36   into the beatles I was getting into the [TS]

00:04:38   beat so a lot of it must have seemed a [TS]

00:04:40   little nuanced it was we know because [TS]

00:04:42   until I was 10 years old my [TS]

00:04:44   understanding of music was that count [TS]

00:04:47   that count basie was a contemporary [TS]

00:04:48   artist but however its innovative I [TS]

00:04:51   can't do that if you're in Paris the [TS]

00:04:54   only pop records that we had were eight [TS]

00:05:13   four pop 8-track tapes we had so up [TS]

00:05:19   until I was ten like that was the only [TS]

00:05:22   exposure i had to music that was not [TS]

00:05:24   being played on a clarinet I my god [TS]

00:05:29   that's brutal did you feel relieved [TS]

00:05:31   well I had all that stuff memorized [TS]

00:05:33   their nets in excess can be rough [TS]

00:05:35   tell you what but it was it was when I [TS]

00:05:38   was in fifth or sixth grade and started [TS]

00:05:39   to meet those kids that that that that [TS]

00:05:43   feathered their hair with a with a giant [TS]

00:05:46   plastic comb that they carried in their [TS]

00:05:48   back pocket that stuff like six inches [TS]

00:05:49   of above their pants when I started to [TS]

00:05:52   meet those kids that were a little bit [TS]

00:05:54   rougher and they turned me onto the the [TS]

00:05:58   radio basically they said you don't [TS]

00:06:00   listen to the radio you know there was [TS]

00:06:02   those the heyday of album-oriented rock [TS]

00:14:50   around most cars and I remember this [TS]

00:14:51   starting do you remember when the [TS]

00:14:53   fucked-up Thunderbirds came out about [TS]

00:14:55   8345 and this is a little cancel it is [TS]

00:14:58   taking that you call them the fucked-up [TS]

00:15:00   Thunderbirds because hate him [TS]

00:15:02   there were so many people who thought [TS]

00:15:04   that would mean that the federal bird [TS]

00:15:05   was the first the first pregnant [TS]

00:15:08   porpoise who it was that it was the [TS]

00:15:11   moment when the cars in America went [TS]

00:15:12   from being a shoe box on top of the shoe [TS]

00:15:14   box [TS]

00:15:15   to being around you like a like a beluga [TS]

00:15:36   for just a minute to take surprised [TS]

00:15:37   they're very surprisingly but then think [TS]

00:15:39   about the thing about the way the music [TS]

00:15:40   and the culture change between 1960 in [TS]

00:15:42   1970 and and think about how the music [TS]

00:15:45   and culture has not changed between 2002 [TS]

00:15:51   this is such a cliche but it's still [TS]

00:15:53   just in my head all the time if you take [TS]

00:15:55   the whatever major label period of the [TS]

00:15:57   beatles it's 1963 to 1970 which is like [TS]

00:16:02   2005 till now right which is basically [TS]

00:28:03   check off the easy listening boxer Roger [TS]

00:28:05   Whittaker any of that ship was already [TS]

00:28:08   hitting hard the term or her for her [TS]

00:28:13   sure yeah he's good Whistler you know he [TS]

00:28:17   started out as a whistle like slim [TS]

00:28:18   whitman he was slim slim yodeled and i [TS]

00:28:20   whistled and I believe he whistled and [TS]

00:28:22   Roger Whittaker was primarily a Whistler [TS]

00:28:24   you know i'm i'm actually not a bad [TS]

00:28:25   Whistler beer to throw please continue [TS]

00:28:30   that was very again very popular in the [TS]

00:28:37   some of my dental records the other day [TS]

00:28:39   and I and we're really looking forward [TS]

00:28:42   to the to the vocal style the male vocal [TS]

00:28:45   style of Who coming back because that [TS]

00:28:50   the tremulous crude about like really [TS]

00:28:53   like old like dancing your stuff and [TS]

00:28:56   yeah it is it's such an unappealing [TS]

00:28:59   vocal style I cannot believe [TS]

00:29:01   well it explains why so much of the big [TS]

00:29:03   band music was instrumental [TS]

00:29:05   because when somebody started to sing [TS]

00:29:07   maybe in the swing era but in the big [TS]

00:29:09   band era there were some really mr. [TS]

00:29:11   Sinatra started you know it was a Tommy [TS]

00:30:17   together [TS]

00:30:17   discounting is Dolly Parton six rocket [TS]

00:30:20   rockers only record yeah i mean i know [TS]

00:30:22   you know giant kiss fan but with the [TS]

00:30:24   imagine being 11 and getting to suddenly [TS]

00:30:25   go to kiss records [TS]

00:30:27   well i heard of an eleven-year-old boy [TS]

00:30:29   in Florida is absolutely ohio ohio right [TS]

00:30:33   then listen to kissimmee florida uh that [TS]

00:30:35   is that is right in kisses we'll have to [TS]

00:30:39   chill in particular I mean I was kind of [TS]

00:30:41   scared of kiss even though i have [TS]

00:30:42   friends that were in to kiss i still [TS]

00:30:44   thought they were kind of scary the [TS]

00:30:45   blockheads certain service you know it's [TS]

00:30:48   true i wasn't nights [TS]

00:30:50   they're all the kids in st. service at [TS]

00:30:52   all that's even better that's so much [TS]

00:30:53   better [TS]

00:30:54   good service rawr but there are two in [TS]

00:30:57   particular I mean I was familiar now in [TS]

00:30:59   your case like you're talking about the [TS]

00:31:00   clock radio is just listen am radio all [TS]

00:31:02   day long I mean I knew every song but [TS]

00:31:04   like them and i watch The Monkees of [TS]

00:31:06   course so the monkeys greatest hits and [TS]

00:31:08   the best of the Beach Boys which is a [TS]

00:31:09   really good best of but those two in [TS]

00:31:11   particular like I just I would just play [TS]

00:31:13   those first comes alive even it wasn't [TS]

00:31:15   that into it because you know what it's [TS]

00:31:17   not that good it's arguably one of the [TS]

00:31:18   most overrated records of all time I [TS]

00:31:20   think close to if not the most overrated [TS]

00:31:23   records that you do go get your copy a [TS]

00:31:25   friend comes alive could trade it for a [TS]

00:31:27   copy of odyssey in oracle everything [TS]

00:31:29   will change everything will change but [TS]

00:31:30   what people like about frampton comes [TS]

00:31:32   alive is that it sounds like the smell [TS]

00:31:36   of marijuana [TS]

00:31:37   yeah you know exactly what sounds like a [TS]

00:31:40   one-hitter I think people should trade [TS]

00:31:42   their frampton comes alive for a Judas [TS]

00:31:46   Priest's live album unleashed in the [TS]

00:31:48   East that the one with the long green [TS]

00:31:50   manalishi sell up [TS]

00:31:51   yes yeah now unleashed in the East is [TS]

00:31:54   going to take you if your little if you [TS]

00:31:56   are not a Judas Priest fan or you are [TS]

00:31:58   like a um ambivalent to Judas Priest [TS]

00:32:01   anyway if you listen to unleash in the [TS]

00:32:04   East which is one of those live albums [TS]

00:32:06   which is arguably just a bunch of [TS]

00:32:08   overdubs right over the sound gets [TS]

00:32:11   inspired a lot of people people people [TS]

00:32:13   screaming in in Japanese if you don't [TS]

00:32:15   mind I don't mind this sound for 46 [TS]

00:32:17   minutes [TS]

00:32:19   yeah it sounds like somebody left a [TS]

00:32:23   steam valve open [TS]

00:32:24   it's either but this album is it is [TS]

00:32:26   absolutely phenomenal crying now knows [TS]

00:32:30   that it said this is when he still had [TS]

00:32:31   hair and stuff right that's but this is [TS]

00:32:32   before British steel right [TS]

00:32:34   yes it is and it's and it's effectively [TS]

00:32:36   a greatest hits of Judas Priest up to [TS]

00:32:39   nineteen seventy-nine or whatever came [TS]

00:32:42   and you all those albums that just [TS]

00:32:46   priest in the early to mid seventies [TS]

00:32:47   they were all concept albums they all [TS]

00:32:49   had like side to was just one giant song [TS]

00:32:52   and six movements and watching old [TS]

00:32:53   videos of him when he had like his bald [TS]

00:32:55   head long hair when you look like The [TS]

00:32:57   Rocky Horror guy like the idea were much [TS]

00:33:00   closer to prague in a lot of these [TS]

00:33:02   efforts [TS]

00:33:03   absolutely they were made they were like [TS]

00:33:04   coming out coming out from Queen rocky [TS]

00:33:08   horror very much but Michael didn't meet [TS]

00:33:12   again no real singles it wasn't until [TS]

00:33:14   the new wave of British heavy metal that [TS]

00:33:16   people understood what heavy metal [TS]

00:33:17   should really look like I mean between [TS]

00:33:19   like I know I know you wouldn't count [TS]

00:33:21   Motorhead nap between like to set [TS]

00:33:23   Motorhead but definitely what like Saxon [TS]

00:33:26   Iron Maiden those bands with the spikes [TS]

00:33:30   like that's what people figured out what [TS]

00:33:32   heavy metal should look like he's he [TS]

00:33:33   looked like he looked like a leathery [TS]

00:33:35   gay man is what he looked like it just [TS]

00:33:37   happened to fit in with what metal [TS]

00:33:38   became but people used to look more [TS]

00:33:41   don't you think people with on measures [TS]

00:33:42   they used to just look more like stoners [TS]

00:33:44   in in heavy metal unless you Ritchie [TS]

00:33:46   Blackmore or running change do i think [TS]

00:33:49   that i think that there was a time and [TS]

00:33:51   this may be just because we were we were [TS]

00:33:53   kids then and so adults some adults [TS]

00:33:56   seemed especially scary anyway but but [TS]

00:34:00   we were alive in a time when the the net [TS]

00:34:04   amount of mail scariness like the mean [TS]

00:34:09   scariness of adult men was much higher [TS]

00:34:12   than it is now I'll astoundingly hire [TS]

00:34:14   you know like everything everything was [TS]

00:34:17   scarier than you ever did not have to [TS]

00:34:19   and it's not just because we work [TS]

00:34:20   because i remember being a teenager and [TS]

00:34:21   feeling this way to that it that adult [TS]

00:34:24   men were not to be trifled with [TS]

00:34:27   and they did not need to advertise that [TS]

00:34:29   they were scary by wearing clown makeup [TS]

00:34:32   or by going i 4get just a man in a denim [TS]

00:34:38   jacket with a cigarette in one hand in [TS]

00:34:40   and a wrench in the other hand was an [TS]

00:34:44   unpredictable and dangerous animal that [TS]

00:34:46   you have that you if you could avoid you [TS]

00:34:48   did a voice and now men like adult men [TS]

00:34:51   are so defamed they are not scary and so [TS]

00:34:56   you have this cart these these men and [TS]

00:34:58   you see them all over even just among [TS]

00:35:01   the hipsters guys who have tried to [TS]

00:35:03   replace their lack of of like adult [TS]

00:35:09   nurse or the the lack of like actual [TS]

00:35:12   masculine scariness that should be in [TS]

00:35:15   them and isn't they think they mask it [TS]

00:35:19   with tattoos or they have the you know [TS]

00:35:22   that they try to be weird together a lot [TS]

00:35:24   more deliberate leader iki deliberately [TS]

00:43:15   stand for example just for what it's [TS]

00:43:16   worth I I've been something to think [TS]

00:43:22   there are you can sign up to be on a [TS]

00:43:24   list of people you could say what you're [TS]

00:43:29   chair you can register for this you can [TS]

00:43:31   see people that have done it more than [TS]

00:43:32   once [TS]

00:43:33   it seems to me that given the kinds of [TS]

00:43:34   information you have in the ways that [TS]

00:43:35   you can help people it might be useful [TS]

00:43:37   for you to have some kind of a registry [TS]

00:43:39   I mean I don't know whether that's a [TS]

00:43:41   web-sight I don't know if it's an agency [TS]

00:43:42   of some kind but for example if you [TS]

00:43:44   wanted to find out what kind of but [TS]

00:43:46   singer bones to eat first and needed [TS]

00:43:48   some kind of kind of somebody who is [TS]

00:43:49   familiar with lithuania I don't know how [TS]

00:43:51   to find you [TS]

00:43:52   I mean this is the problem and part of [TS]

00:43:54   the problem is that i am a that I you [TS]

00:43:56   know I'm you're busy you're very busy [TS]

00:43:57   man i'm busy and i'm also an expert on [TS]

00:44:08   everything about everything [TS]

00:44:10   well how do you distinguish yourself in [TS]

00:44:11   that crowded market apart from taking [TS]

00:44:13   people down a peg one of the time that's [TS]

00:44:15   time consuming you're busy as we said he [TS]

00:44:17   stipulated you know I think a lot of the [TS]

00:44:19   people that end up on TV are the [TS]

00:44:20   specialists they're the people that know [TS]

00:44:21   just about the Battle of Gettysburg or [TS]

00:44:26   the ancient pyramids get a horse it's [TS]

00:44:28   very hard to be a polymath anymore and i [TS]

00:44:32   think it's it's just one of those things [TS]

00:44:33   where you have to have just enjoy the [TS]

00:44:36   satisfaction [TS]

00:44:37   of knowing everything that must be that [TS]

00:44:46   because you're a gentleman but you walk [TS]

00:44:47   around with a lot of knowledge [TS]

00:44:49   that'sthat's it's sitting there and it's [TS]

00:44:51   boiling in that I don't know how you [TS]

00:49:58   Romania it was traditionally Hungarian [TS]

00:50:00   it's part of Romania this is part of the [TS]

00:50:03   fucking world war one bullshit [TS]

00:50:04   I'm afraid so often we know what about [TS]

00:50:06   Austria hungry what about it or play [TS]

00:50:09   diplomacy is that a game or is that a [TS]

00:50:13   sex game you play D&D I put sex [TS]

00:50:16   diplomacy diplomacy diplomacy and if you [TS]

00:50:21   ever played judge being the person you [TS]

00:50:23   are somewhere between a million military [TS]

00:50:25   historian and a paladin national palette [TS]

00:50:28   and you'd be an anti palette and I think [TS]

00:50:29   you are you always seem like a military [TS]

00:50:32   or story because that's what we end up [TS]

00:50:34   talking about but I I polymath your [TS]

00:50:36   polymethyl things you can't talk about [TS]

00:50:37   everything at once everything that once [TS]

00:50:39   was a bangles who who did that [TS]

00:50:41   everywhere once everything hits at once [TS]

00:50:44   that spoon [TS]

00:50:44   okay I like that advanced cassette song [TS]

00:50:47   my thinking on this is diplomacy [TS]

00:50:50   okay here's the thing the other is a [TS]

00:50:51   like-for-like avalon hill games like [TS]

00:50:54   that is like risk right [TS]

00:50:55   oh no this is this is well I mean it is [TS]

00:50:58   but Reno risk feels like fucking like [TS]

00:51:00   playing trouble or sorry compared to [TS]

00:51:03   diplomacy diplomacy you have a board [TS]

00:51:05   and the board is pre World War One [TS]

00:51:09   europe and russia and you don't feed the [TS]

00:51:14   the I think maybe the only element of [TS]

00:51:17   chance and the entire game is which [TS]

00:51:19   country you are and I forgive me then [TS]

00:51:21   who'd I will probably get this wrong but [TS]

00:51:22   everything was the rescue just slow slog [TS]

00:51:25   through the point where you have no [TS]

00:51:26   choices you have no idea you have no [TS]

00:51:28   idea [TS]

00:51:29   no way to hear everybody gets and i'm [TS]

00:51:31   going to try to guess the number but [TS]

00:51:32   everybody gets a certain number of [TS]

00:51:34   armies and where appropriate navies and [TS]

00:51:37   the only different one is Russia which I [TS]

00:51:39   think it's one more Navy you become a [TS]

00:51:41   country and here's what you do you try [TS]

00:51:42   to take over Europe and how do you do [TS]

00:51:44   this you go and you talked to everybody [TS]

00:51:47   from the other countries not in the [TS]

00:51:48   presence of other people and then you [TS]

00:51:51   write your orders [TS]

00:51:52   alright so put the parlor game where you [TS]

00:51:53   go like a parlor game it's very [TS]

00:51:55   sophisticated military trying to the [TS]

00:51:57   bathroom and they make a bigger plan and [TS]

00:51:59   then the two people go into the kitchen [TS]

00:52:01   and make a plan type 88 wrap a cockatiel [TS]

00:52:51   sellers of catan settlers of catan which [TS]

00:52:54   is one of the what they call the German [TS]

00:53:31   into the situation of being an observer [TS]

00:53:32   of the game the you know somewhat with [TS]

00:53:37   the feeling like I'm gonna sit here for [TS]

00:53:38   three minutes and this is going to bore [TS]

00:58:50   air w wouldn't do this [TS]

00:58:52   I was so consumed with the little my [TS]

00:58:54   imaginary life the life of my [TS]

00:58:56   imagination that interacting with other [TS]

00:58:59   kids around the topic of of world war [TS]

00:59:04   one or like or who's going to take over [TS]

00:59:06   Europe would have been so it was it it [TS]

00:59:09   was unimaginable to me that would be [TS]

00:59:12   more fun than me just sitting alone in [TS]

00:59:14   my room staring at the wall imagining [TS]

00:59:16   myself taking over Europe [TS]

00:59:22   oh my gosh I should've peed first I want [TS]

00:59:25   to hear so much about first of all you [TS]

00:59:29   are you know it's a word that we've all [TS]

00:59:30   learned in the last week was fabulous [TS]

00:59:32   how true is that kind of it's really [TS]

00:59:37   true for real [TS]

00:59:39   it's so true how much did you know if I [TS]

00:59:41   could say for background where are you [TS]

00:59:42   know we're talking about when you're 11 [TS]

00:59:43   12 13 and so you had at this point even [TS]

00:59:47   so you your steep as you said you were [TS]

00:59:49   literally he said you're literally [TS]

00:59:50   steeped in military history [TS]

00:59:52   yeah so you ever had you already knew [TS]

00:59:55   your father shot Japanese zero out of [TS]

00:59:57   the sky with a 45 right it's [TS]

00:59:57   the sky with a 45 right it's [TS]

01:00:00   we're already surrounded with truly [TS]

01:00:01   truly astounding stories during that [TS]

01:00:04   period from fourth grade 2 10th grade [TS]

01:00:08   when when they said it very brief window [TS]

01:00:11   3.42 10th grade [TS]

01:00:14   whenever I was assigned a research [TS]

01:00:16   project i would write up i would write a [TS]

01:00:20   paper on some aspect of world war one or [TS]

01:00:22   war two and in tenth grade I started to [TS]

01:00:26   write about Marxism but from fourth [TS]

01:00:30   grade to tonight's great let's say I [TS]

01:00:33   just I i wrote I wrote a hundred reports [TS]

01:00:36   on world war 2 in world war one so i [TS]

01:00:39   would sit and I night my my [TS]

01:00:41   understanding of those things was very [TS]

01:00:43   incomplete still but I had the had the [TS]

01:00:46   sense that Hitler had made it had made a [TS]

01:00:49   mistake not it or had made a mistake [TS]

01:00:50   invading russia that that i did not [TS]

01:00:57   fully understand like the Russian [TS]

01:00:59   contribution to the war but I understood [TS]

01:01:02   that the Japanese had made a mistake in [TS]

01:01:03   bombing Pearl Harbor and I would I just [TS]

01:01:08   you know I repeat the mistake a mistake [TS]

01:01:10   beyond that wasn't very nice but a [TS]

01:01:11   tactical like waking the sleeping giant [TS]

01:01:14   well a little bit and and and [TS]

01:01:17   particularly like the the idea that the [TS]

01:01:21   idea of the the Navy the Navy's of all [TS]

01:01:24   these countries in 1938 we're still very [TS]

01:01:27   battleship oriented you know the [TS]

01:01:30   battleship was the was right the leader [TS]

01:01:33   of the fleet it was the flagship of the [TS]

01:01:35   commander of the fleet all because the [TS]

01:01:37   party because the planes couldn't go as [TS]

01:01:39   far and supplies had to go somewhere [TS]

01:01:41   it wasn't the same kind of air based [TS]

01:01:43   warfare even then that wouldn't happen [TS]

01:01:45   today that had never that hadn't [TS]

01:01:47   happened still slog in some ways right [TS]

01:01:48   everybody's for everybody's always [TS]

01:01:50   fighting the last war who so before the [TS]

01:01:53   war it was like battleship battleship [TS]

01:01:55   battleship battleship and there was a [TS]

01:01:57   growing understanding that aircraft [TS]

01:01:59   carriers we're going to play a bigger [TS]

01:02:00   role but but still everybody was fixated [TS]

01:02:04   on the battleship so they attacked Pearl [TS]

01:02:05   Harbor and they destroyed all of our [TS]

01:02:09   battleships [TS]

01:02:10   but it ended up that aircraft carriers [TS]

01:02:13   were the definitive certainly in the [TS]

01:02:15   Pacific aircraft carriers with the [TS]

01:02:17   definitive ship and when we sank for [TS]

01:02:21   carriers at the Battle of Midway for you [TS]

01:02:23   know Japanese carriers they never [TS]

01:02:25   recovered from that so there-there error [TS]

01:02:30   was thinking that that they could sink [TS]

01:02:32   our fleet quote-unquote and basically [TS]

01:02:35   put us out of the war in the Pacific but [TS]

01:02:37   they didn't get a single carrier at [TS]

01:02:40   Pearl Harbor [TS]

01:02:41   Oh interested not sink a single American [TS]

01:02:45   carrier can just get a general question [TS]

01:02:47   serious general question tom is battle [TS]

01:02:50   ship is that a general term like what's [TS]

01:02:53   it what's a destroyer to destroy is a [TS]

01:02:55   kind of battleship it's a small fast [TS]

01:02:58   ship yeah a battleship is one is [TS]

01:03:01   something like the USS Iowa that has [TS]

01:03:03   giant cannons that is it closer to like [TS]

01:03:07   a sea-based base of operations for other [TS]

01:03:10   ships [TS]

01:03:11   I mean with your the command guy if [TS]

01:03:13   you're like an admiral and you're going [TS]

01:03:14   to run next on amaranth i guess but i [TS]

01:03:16   mean you don't saying like I you know [TS]

01:03:18   like so even if you're an admiral the [TS]

01:03:21   battleship would be the center of a [TS]

01:03:23   flotilla operates an operation ok so [TS]

01:03:25   maybe i'll shut up for fucking minute [TS]

01:03:27   and we give me to superfast rough as [TS]

01:03:29   fast as you like to rough taxonomy of [TS]

01:03:31   fighting at sea because I don't really [TS]

01:03:32   understand it well in the old in the old [TS]

01:03:35   days you you brought your ships up to [TS]

01:03:39   within range of your guns and the your [TS]

01:03:42   enemy ships would be a raid opposite you [TS]

01:03:45   and you would fire fusillade of cannon [TS]

01:03:50   shells at one another until somebody [TS]

01:03:52   sank the other guy you know like really [TS]

01:03:55   just get within range of your guns and [TS]

01:03:58   go that's the equivalent like two guys [TS]

01:04:01   fighting with clubs just he's gonna last [TS]

01:04:02   longer before they go down [TS]

01:04:04   yeah and two little fleets I mean you [TS]

01:04:05   know battleship would never be sitting [TS]

01:04:07   out there in the open it would always be [TS]

01:04:08   surrounded by destroyers and you know a [TS]

01:04:12   tenders and pocket battleships and all [TS]

01:04:15   these other little you know every [TS]

01:04:16   different size of the ship but at the [TS]

01:04:19   time you had one yet he had different [TS]

01:04:22   sizes of cake [TS]

01:04:24   women and torpedoes that was that was [TS]

01:04:28   what you had to work with open minds i [TS]

01:04:29   guess you could lay mines right before [TS]

01:04:32   that was naval warfare that was what you [TS]

01:04:35   would want you in mind like a harbor you [TS]

01:04:37   and minding mines were mostly defensive [TS]

01:04:39   right [TS]

01:04:40   no no you could you could you could mind [TS]

01:04:43   the english channel as long as before [TS]

01:04:45   submarines were heavily used you can [TS]

01:04:47   also use mine just take out a ship my [TS]

01:04:49   mind big for submarines eventually right [TS]

01:04:51   but I mean this is for ships I thought [TS]

01:04:52   you might like a harbor you absolutely [TS]

01:04:54   mind Harbor but you could you could mine [TS]

01:04:57   anywhere that you didn't think your own [TS]

01:04:59   ships would go like mining I think [TS]

01:05:01   mining was channel would be a bad idea [TS]

01:05:03   because everybody's using it so it would [TS]

01:05:05   be that would be much more than like [TS]

01:05:06   mining chick-fil-a that's how would be [TS]

01:05:08   much more than an anarchic war strategy [TS]

01:05:12   like you know what fuck everybody that's [TS]

01:05:14   it that's it that's it that's the jet [TS]

01:05:15   the Japanese 1945 kind of questions like [TS]

01:05:18   fucking combined we're just we're gonna [TS]

01:05:21   we're gonna lose this shit and style but [TS]

01:05:24   when you got to the point where ships [TS]

01:05:26   had first of all cannons that could fire [TS]

01:05:28   over the horizon and then of course [TS]

01:05:32   submarines and airplanes you know your [TS]

01:05:35   strategy and the importance of a fleet [TS]

01:05:37   really changed if you if you could [TS]

01:05:40   station an aircraft carrier somewhere [TS]

01:05:42   you [TS]

01:05:43   I mean you basically could contribute [TS]

01:05:46   you can what war two tortoises if you [TS]

01:05:49   control the air you control the whole [TS]

01:05:51   game and and I mean we still practice [TS]

01:05:56   this form of aircraft carrier diplomacy [TS]

01:05:59   the United States is that is the main [TS]

01:06:01   practitioner of the world war one the [TS]

01:06:03   plane thing was to tell if i'm wrong but [TS]

01:06:04   the painting was still pretty novel and [TS]

01:06:06   not nearly as reliable as it would be [TS]

01:06:08   yeah don't [TS]

01:06:10   airplanes are like me now at [TS]

01:06:15   at like the Bombers in world war one [TS]

01:06:19   seriously there's a guy who leaned out [TS]

01:06:22   of the open and shower job they shot the [TS]

01:06:25   bomb captain exactly held a bomb at arms [TS]

01:06:28   like it was like I'm take that there was [TS]

01:06:31   actually like a bowling ball with a few [TS]

01:06:33   it's you know there was no take that [TS]

01:06:36   Jerry yeah like step ones were a bigger [TS]

01:06:41   factor i love Zeppelin's about world war [TS]

01:06:43   one in terms of bomb [TS]

01:06:45   um but it in the you know by the time [TS]

01:06:48   World War two came along the airplanes [TS]

01:06:50   that was the whole war but they look [TS]

01:06:52   like they came up with the technology to [TS]

01:06:54   be able like fire fire fire your fire [TS]

01:06:56   between the propeller I mean it wasn't [TS]

01:06:58   like a really big deal you don't like [TS]

01:07:00   synchronized that CD she propeller oh [TS]

01:07:02   yeah well because before before they had [TS]

01:07:04   the synchronized guns they had to mount [TS]

01:07:06   the either mounted machine guns on top [TS]

01:07:09   of the other wing of the biplane yes [TS]

01:07:11   training training with that yeah so [TS]

01:07:13   you're flying with your flying with one [TS]

01:07:14   hand and you reach up and grab the [TS]

01:07:16   trigger of the gun and I like right try [TS]

01:07:19   this try walking out try holding 238 at [TS]

01:07:22   arm's length and try to hit something [TS]

01:07:23   within a couple shots are 238 up above [TS]

01:07:26   your head like like you're like a robert [TS]

01:07:30   rodriguez make that area take that chair [TS]

01:07:34   I'm sorry I got you off it safely it's [TS]

01:07:37   like it's like it's like the infantry in [TS]

01:07:39   the sense that there's this big massive [TS]

01:07:41   thing there's the outline get the spies [TS]

01:07:43   a lot of this for me comes for strategic [TS]

01:07:45   stratego so forgive me but you've got [TS]

01:07:47   like you know like I like Kennedy like [TS]

01:07:49   the book Kennedy was in was for doing [TS]

01:07:50   close-in attacks BBT but would go like a [TS]

01:07:53   PT boat would go flight you told me this [TS]

01:07:55   you go getting real close and sneak in a [TS]

01:07:57   little attacking what it was a torpedo [TS]

01:07:59   boat so it was basically a fast and [TS]

01:08:01   torpedoes out of that little boat [TS]

01:08:03   yeah they had they had torpedoes [TS]

01:08:05   actually on the deck in tubes and they [TS]

01:08:08   would happen you know they had really [TS]

01:08:09   powerful motors would boats that would [TS]

01:08:12   just get up on steps so dangerous it was [TS]

01:08:15   incredible they would they would they [TS]

01:08:16   would weave in between the mines get [TS]

01:08:19   into a harbor and they're flying between [TS]

01:08:23   these boats at night guys are shooting [TS]

01:08:24   at him in the dark and they're like [TS]

01:08:26   unleashing torpedoes at [TS]

01:08:28   that ships that are like in Harbor it [TS]

01:08:30   was it was totally ball z game the PT [TS]

01:08:33   boats but but before before world war [TS]

01:08:37   one certainly and even up to war two [TS]

01:08:39   ships like what other way was there to [TS]

01:08:44   assert your colonial authority over your [TS]

01:08:48   far-flung territories then with your [TS]

01:08:50   Navy who you know you if you if you had [TS]

01:08:53   if if if you had a colonial governor in [TS]

01:08:58   goa you took him there on a ship and you [TS]

01:09:02   maintain your your hedge emoni over that [TS]

01:09:04   territory by having a navy and that was [TS]

01:09:08   so you're new so control of the Seas was [TS]

01:09:12   control of the world and write you would [TS]

01:09:14   have these days of economies of scale [TS]

01:09:16   also write any ships obviously have [TS]

01:09:18   different shapes different purposes but [TS]

01:09:19   but but this is what Spain did right i [TS]

01:09:21   mean that ability to control the Seas [TS]

01:09:23   whether that was with trade [TS]

01:09:26   I mean you needed things if you're going [TS]

01:09:27   to trade with a ship you've got to have [TS]

01:09:29   you can have multiple not defensive [TS]

01:09:33   ships right i mean you got to protect [TS]

01:17:14   transitioning from those drugs too bad [TS]

01:17:17   drugs drugs that are made by human [TS]

01:17:19   beings that are full of evil forces you [TS]

01:17:23   used to smoke and then getting a bathtub [TS]

01:17:25   and now you're getting stuff that was [TS]

01:17:27   made in a bathtub that you smoke [TS]

01:17:29   that's exactly right and stuff that once [TS]

01:17:31   you so much you just shot want to get in [TS]

01:17:33   a bathtub at all didn't want to do [TS]

01:17:36   frisbee you did not think you could talk [TS]

01:17:38   to dogs making real focused and not want [TS]

01:17:40   to play frisbee dogs are looking at you [TS]

01:17:42   in a way that you that makes you very [TS]

01:17:43   uncomfortable and it was during that [TS]

01:17:45   period that i read the whole pale horse [TS]

01:17:47   bad timing i was i was obviously you [TS]

01:17:50   know i did not even even doing these [TS]

01:17:53   terrible things did not make me into a [TS]

01:17:55   stupid person who believed that the [TS]

01:17:56   aliens were controlling our government [TS]

01:17:58   through them through the Masons but it i [TS]

01:18:02   did at one point lying in bed under a [TS]

01:18:06   spell [TS]

01:18:06   let's say of sub various like powders I [TS]

01:18:11   lay in bed and I said to myself if [TS]

01:18:14   because my apartment was right into the [TS]

01:18:16   flight pattern for the local airport i [TS]

01:18:19   said to myself self if aliens were [TS]

01:18:25   transacting daily business with America [TS]

01:18:29   would they know [TS]

01:18:32   not disguise their spaceships as 747 if [TS]

01:18:38   they disguised them as something like a [TS]

01:18:42   bowl of fruit [TS]

01:18:43   it would seem pretty weird that the [TS]

01:18:45   fruit was flying if you need something [TS]

01:18:47   to fly and have it not seem weird [TS]

01:18:49   you're either gonna be a bird work or [TS]

01:18:51   football or a plane maybe even maybe [TS]

01:18:56   even maybe it could be a minute to be a [TS]

01:18:58   passenger plane isn't getting anywhere [TS]

01:19:01   in eastern so you're not going to hover [TS]

01:19:03   your like anti-gravity orbit over the [TS]

01:19:07   center of the city if you don't want [TS]

01:19:09   them to know that you're here you just [TS]

01:19:11   change your anti-gravity orbit into the [TS]

01:19:14   shape of a 747 and you make it very loud [TS]

01:19:18   and you fly it right over the top of all [TS]

01:19:21   the people you want to drive through a [TS]

01:19:23   factory in the middle of the night you [TS]

01:19:24   don't go through a fucking clown car you [TS]

01:19:26   get a blue van you drive through like a [TS]

01:19:28   gentleman nobody needs to wave you [TS]

01:19:29   through your not in a black jetta you [TS]

01:19:31   are in a blue van [TS]

01:19:32   likewise we should have said that I [TS]

01:19:35   related and so I'm lying in bed and I up [TS]

01:19:37   with you know with various powders on my [TS]

01:19:40   person didn't I person and I'm thinking [TS]

01:19:43   to myself you know this is just a little [TS]

01:19:46   too sensible what I'm saying right now [TS]

01:19:50   and and I had to I had to quiet the [TS]

01:19:57   growing feeling I was having that maybe [TS]

01:19:59   people were living in the center of the [TS]

01:20:01   earth [TS]

01:20:03   how would a disguise that they would [TS]

01:20:06   pretend that they would pretend that [TS]

01:20:07   they're trolls or hobbits are some kind [TS]

01:20:09   of what we have in middle-earth John who [TS]

01:20:10   lives in middle earth is that what is [TS]

01:20:12   that where the hobbits live everybody [TS]

01:20:14   lives in middle-earth even the humans [TS]

01:20:15   lived there before the elves window [TS]

01:20:17   across the ocean [TS]

01:20:19   I guess number 5 elves and stuff LOL is [TS]

01:20:25   this right where is the shower is the [TS]

01:20:27   shower inside of the earth [TS]

01:20:28   shire well actually like a token guy the [TS]

01:20:32   shower is not inside the earth know the [TS]

01:20:34   Shires so the heights don't live in [TS]

01:20:36   middle-earth middle-earth only means [TS]

01:20:39   that it was in between the one place in [TS]

01:20:44   the other place [TS]

01:20:44   Oh like Midgard at it [TS]

01:20:46   is to ask card okay right so it wasn't [TS]

01:20:49   inside the earth know the shower was [TS]

01:20:51   just in the shower was really merry old [TS]

01:20:53   England let's be honest okay and but [TS]

01:20:54   they have their own son there at least [TS]

01:20:55   theoretically is I think it's the same [TS]

01:20:58   Sun I think it's like it never gets the [TS]

01:21:00   battlestar galactica of cosmology it [TS]

01:21:02   happened a long long time ago [TS]

01:21:05   oh you can you can cover up a lot of a [TS]

01:21:08   lot of Earth related inconsistencies by [TS]

01:21:09   putting it someplace else happened a [TS]

01:21:11   long time ago for instance a long long [TS]

01:21:13   time ago it was a regular occurrence for [TS]

01:21:16   God to come down to earth and meddle in [TS]

01:21:19   people's like what they were eating and [TS]

01:21:21   and where he was like kill your kid [TS]

01:21:24   oh no ya don't kill your kid haha oh [TS]

01:21:27   kill him nope don't so he was dressed up [TS]

01:21:29   like a bush for Moses when he came to [TS]

01:21:31   Abraham so to speak now he's just a [TS]

01:21:34   voice now the Rams in the thicket or the [TS]

01:21:35   physical silver the thicket but that was [TS]

01:21:37   just a voice of God telling him to kill [TS]

01:21:39   his child I but the thing is that and [TS]

01:21:41   that's the guy who started all religions [TS]

01:21:43   they got three religions based on the [TS]

01:21:44   guy who thought he should kill this kid [TS]

01:21:45   has a voice told him that's right well [TS]

01:21:48   and the and the problem is that this God [TS]

01:21:50   are routinely a said confusing things to [TS]

01:21:54   people but it was a long time ago and so [TS]

01:21:58   it makes perfect sense because it was a [TS]
