Let’s go, new episode while working night shift is a treat.

Jonathan Grafton

What is it with individual ships accidentally becoming enemy combatants?

Jonathan Grafton

Like, every navy has exactly one ship that does this.

P.A.L.

Ok, but Tom made the right call on that smoked salmon, brown bread and cheese combo.

Pat

Where’s Liam?? Where’s Nick?? Hola Joe and Tom! Stay rad dudes

Philip Dore

I'll look forward to listening to this later. If there's anywhere you don't want an over-perfectionist attitude, it's in submarine design.

On the subject of G Gundam, I think Nether Gundam gives Tequila Gundam a run for its money. Ah, the perfidious Dutch.

Noblese Oblahaj

While the submarine was built very badly the idea was in fact extremely metal

Milfshake

Bray Wyatt was my favorite, too. Still sad about that.

Jeremy G

Another note in favor of “the 6th Heavy Bomber Group accidentally blew it up” instead of “it hit the tanker”: given the mechanical state Surcouf was in when it left Bermuda it almost certainly couldn’t have made it to the position of the Thompson Lykes by the reported collision time

We love a bad submarine don't we folx?

Benjamin Henderson

You know Joe had a hatchet man right next to the crudely drawn tanks.

Matt

Welcome to the show Mr Rush.

Matt

I’m looking forward to hearing about how they fit mistress concealment cabinets in the officers’ quarters, plus the red wine and foie gras dispensers in the mess.

S. Hanefeld

I will not hear any slander about Mobile Fighter G Gundam. That show is a masterpiece of hot-blooded and camp. And I will not be told otherwise.

I confirm that I drew tanks, boats and MLRS in school. We used to have a lot of post-soviet military magazines in school, so drawing from them was just normal.

Fox

Joe telling me that everyone in an airport is a crying baby makes me feel better about the anxiety im feeling about traveling next month. thanks Joe! 🦊💜

AngryOldManYaddaYadda

Submarines are the helicopters of the ocean: a middle finger to god.

The Squash

Oh thank god you took a vacation

Jack McReynolds

I got obscenely giddy the moment I knew Joe was going to drop a G Gundam on Tom. Thought in reality the coolest Gundam is Neo Thailand's. They made it for a second series. I haven't watched it, but have only seen stills and read about. It is in fact the Muay Thai Gundam. Only thing is they didn't give it the badass Thai shorts nor do I believe a crowd of Thai's shout when that Gundam starts drilling knees to whomever in the clinch.

I was hitting peak Trapper Keeper age and peak uncontrolled autist military nerd age simultaneously in the early 90's, so I did have a whole folder of weird ass armored landships for desert warfare.

ruin

Am I understanding it correctly that there's an airport that's also a catholic shrine?

ruin

Oh yeah the longer you extend the development of something the better it is.

DarkWolfized

Loved the episode, disappointed you didnt mention the dutch gundam thats a dang windmill piloted by rutger verhoeven

Chili

Dogs out on the plane? Disgusting

Charlie Cussans

I totally agree with Tom, Stansted has fucked vibes.

ruin

Did it fight a 17th century Spanish weirdo who thought he was a knight cause if not that's a missed opportunity.

DarkWolfized

From the gundam wiki "For the 13th Gundam Fight, Neo Holland took an interesting strategic approach to get to the Finals by not participating in the Gundam Fight at all. To accomplish this, the Nether Gundam was designed as a transforming mobile suit that could disguise itself as a windmill, which it accomplished for the first eleven months of the Gundam Fight. By hiding in a field and not fighting other Gundam Fighters, pilot Rutger Verhoeven technically qualified for the Finals."

I have answers to your questions about how bad Submarines smell. Long story short: they smell, strongly and pervasively, but not for the reasons you think (usually). Firstly: submarines are cleaner than any other ship I have served on or visited. Nubs who leave a mess get their faces rubbed in it like housebreaking a puppy. When hot racking, keeping clean is sacrosanct, and only the most brazen asshole would go to bed without a shower. But not everyone hotracks, and on SSBNs/SSGNs nobody has to hit rack. Secondly: because you live so close together, smelling like shit is a sin and is severely punished. Thirdly: while we wear boots inport, underway we wear sneakers. “To be quieter” What does make submarines smell has to do with their air purification system. The chemical used to strip CO2 also gets everywhere in the ventilation. And it stinks like stale diesel fumes. It gets in everything you own and wear. When I got home the wife would make me change in the garage and throw all my clothes in the washer before I could come in the house, then shower twice. Fortunately, after a few days underway you go smell blind and don’t notice it.

I_like_planes_and_cities

Man, smelly submarines… I was Air Force and I used to fly on AC-130s. When we would take a plane to swap another plane in the AOR. We basically lived and flew in the plane for 6-7 days in row typically 9-16hr flights everyday from home station to the AOR. Granted we stopped on bases and had hotels. Now, one time we were flying and our piss pots got too full. The plane banked too hard. The piss spilt all over the plane. So on top of the plane smelling like balls and sweaty feet, we now have the aroma of piss with for a few days. The smell was so bad that when we landed the US Customs officer came on to the plane said “what the fuck?”

It’s a Lads, Lads, Lads Cast World (British)

I’m afraid to report that, despite this excellent episode, you’re all cancelled: “Robert Surcouf was a French privateer, businessman and SLAVE TRADER” (Wikipedia)

Matt

Never watched this show, did the Dutch gundam wear blackface?

Danny Reyes

I need to make a SubZero refrigerator now

Stewart Crichton

An Irishman trying to say Scottish smoked salmon is shit is the absolute funniest thing I have ever fucking heard.

Anthony Carpeneti

I’m pretty sure Stansted is out in the boonies, especially with it being a Ryanair hub!
