So now you guys are claiming 12 million?

Is there a bottlemen archive somewhere? Was a patron for years but I didn't download most of them :(

NYCM&AHole

Wanna make a nickelback joke from all the discussions about nickel but haven’t had enough coffee.

Ebbtides

Hey don't spend it all in one place

kris knudson

When I was a kid there was a woman with the last name Hitler that was on our prayer list at church. Also please do the MAID episode that shit is vile.

Philippe Duhart

There were over 30 Hitlers in the NYC phonebook in the late 1930s. There were none after the war.

Donnie Ka

I'm pro-Tom Penny.

Mark Owen

Episode dedicated to the genius of Ayn Rand, like 2112.

O Canada Our cucked and native land

Doug Cartel

Patrick Henry Hitler fought in the Pacific iirc

Eric Neilson

You guys should explain why the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact came to be. There are years of happenings that lead to it. Litvinov tried in vain to get the allies on board with the USSR from the mid '30's until he was replaced.

Michael S. Judge

For real, Hitler had an American nephew named Billy Hitler who repudiated his uncle and joined the US Navy. He was kind of a wartime celebrity

Geronimo

So what’s the deal with this Sikh Khalistan stuff in Canada? A nationalist diaspora group with leaders getting assassinated, Canada’s gov up in arms about it, any Canadians know what’s up w that?

Tooffixer

Dr. Gay Hitler, son of George Washington Hitler was a dentist in Circleville Ohio. To this day the Hitlers are a respected local family in the town. A street bears their name

Standing the Gaff

Way better than first episode! Way to go, Dan! On the Slovak Nazi government, the Ukrainian SS Division was deployed to put down the Slovak National Uprising in August-September 1944.

Falco

Hitler’s father, Alois, changed his surname. It may have been a simplification of the more common Hiedler or Hüttler. Since Alois was born out of wedlock, it’s speculated he wanted a name closer to that of his potential biological father, Johann Georg Hiedler, rather than his mother’s maiden name, Schicklgruber. So, it’s not too surprising that hardly no one bears the name Hitler today; it’s a made-up name, that is potentially a „better sounding“ variation of an existing surname. Since I know Brace likes this sort of trivia: I’m Austrian, and I even have distant family members with the name Schicklgruber. So there’s a theoretical chance one of your listeners has some indirect tie to the Mustache Man. That said, all my relatives come from a different region in Austria, so it’s probably just a coincidence.

John Lemieux

So inclusive and multicultural of Canada to build a monument to honor the people who ate Hannibal Lecter’s sister.

Mango Bolsonaro

Yall think Eva Braun gave Hitler the ol’ hawk tuah one last time in that bunker

i got picked for the nielsen survey and put this as my favorite radio show o7

There’s a documentary about his family. They live in Rhode Island I think?

Our Chamber of Commerce sponsors a local street fair. Music, hot rods, fun for all ages. Last year, they had a John Birch Society information booth too.

Really solid coverage here. The continued Holocaust revisionism is deeply unsettling.

So “Hitler” was kind of the “Daenerys” of it’s day

Kamran Husain

white isis is my name at the gas station

I know about Billy Hitler cause I read something he wrote in LIFE back then...BILLY HITLER

Hard not to imagine a Billy Hitler without a propeller beanie, lollipop, and an adorable lil mustache

MCL

It’s time to invade the Quisling “nation “ of KKKanada

OG Cracker Barrel

Broken social scene hate? Every other week is a roundhouse kick to pretty good bands(PGBs).

jrab

Extremely Canadian moment at 8:55 where Dan says “sory” to both hosts because they don’t like Rush

Julia

You should definitely do an episode on MAID

Michael S. Judge

It's crazy that somewhere in this country, one neighbor introduced another to Old Billy Hitler, then said, "But it's not like you think!," so the new neighbor said, "Oh, so he's not related to Hitler?," and the old neighbor said, "Oh no, dear, he's Hitler's nephew, but he's just a lovely fellow." Billy Hitler. "And the winner of this week's Jukebox Jive record collection of the top 10 singles on the Billboard charts is ... I'm sorry, folks, I just ... [off-mic but audible] christ almighty."

Jack Ross

Brace coming out as a Cock Sparrer appreciator did it for me for this ep

Calder Marchman

I knew a dude who got in trouble hosting a radio show at USF because the first song he played was “Romeo’s Distress” by Christian Death. Therefore, instead of taking the easy money bet that Brace played Skrewdriver, I’ll take the long odds and say he played “Los Angeles” by X.

Demented Avenger

Fight the Canadians over there so we don't have to fight them here!

Gallo Altanero

Was just catching up. Episodes between 46-50 are missing on Apple Podcasts. Is there a reason? All best.

Christian Bendillo

Brace: “‘Boeckner’’, what is that?” Dan: 😰

SWING KIDS AND COCKSPARRER 🖤🖤🖤

Dylan Lewis

Wait did they say at the end they got invited to web summit as in the one sort of run by ole paddy cosgrave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_Cosgrave if looking for a weird little freak recommend him. Web summit used to run in Dublin but basically left because he got into a very public spat with the government at the time as they didn't subsidise tech summit and shut down all of dublin. So he made it his mission to destroy the then Taoiseach(prime minister) by nonstop tweeting, kept the grudge for years. Now he is just a psychotic tweeter about irish politics and just terminally online https://twitter.com/paddycosgrave, was a sort of big tech guy in Ireland but has achieved nothing but brainrot.

Whistle Dog

PLEASE PLEASE do an episode on MAID! Shit is absolutely out of control and it’s only going to get worse.

Ess Dee

Why would America even need to invade when you can all just start moving here en masse and then become separatists

Tammy

Did you play GISM or AxCx or that one Dr. Know song?

Montana Wildhack

My alma mater has an honest-to-God BA program in Canadian-American studies. Never met anyone in it tho.

The former junkyard hoochie daddy

The Black Keys is my one of my favorite bands of all time and learning this information has absolutely destroyed me. Unsubbed.

Hardcore Virgin

As a community we find it best not to mention or refer to what you are referring to

TrueAnonPod

the only good band from that list is GISM

Tammy

Fuck yeh!!! My fav band, RANDY UCHIDA IS GOD!!

Tammy

I truly am curious what you played homie!

Tammy

What?! The band I saw at a Camel Cigarettes promo concert is actually lame?

Demented Avenger

Prog rock in general, and Rush in particular, has a reputation for appealing to nerdy hippies. Well, nerdy hippies aside from Peart's politics, and even he downplayed the influence of Rand as the years went on, drifting leftwards.

dan

damn y’all went defcon 3 on all Canadians

Hardcore Virgin

Dr Gay Hitler is incredible and this needs more attention

Ellen Grace

I wish I didn’t know who chrystia freeland was

Nolan

I have to be reminded every day as I live across the street from her office lol

Nolan

Broken social scene sucks dick source: canadian

Ellen Grace

God I’m so sorry for you. Somehow I have the same educational trajectory as her and that scares me enough

Nolan

The lack of Vancouver hate may be the shows biggest miss

maddison

Thanks for the NTBTS snippet Yung C 🇨🇦

shante

Ep 415! <3 sf

Tooffixer

Yes, this dentist was literally Hitler

Gallo Altanero

I have been in since day one I know 59 is on the Nth Case and South Korea. And Kabuki Theater just did how AI and pedo stuff is running rampant in Korea on kids and they referenced True Anon.

MyChemiicalTom

USF MENTION LETSGOOOO (this school is fucking stupid)

Vortex

i support maid tbh

TrueAnonPod

See the note in the description of Episode 50…

Brianna de Bae

i NEVERRR expected to hear about jason kenney, the 56 year old virgin, on this podcast

Alex Henderson

I’m from up north and my boyfriend works in the nickel mines and so did his dad and grandpa. I am trying to find sources on nazis being in there, but not much is coming up. I believe just is there any good sources?

Max Jackson

Plot twist, Brace was actually playing Jewdriver

Pranjal Dwivedi

Lisbon is the San Francisco of the Atlantic Ocean

Isaac

Not enough scorn for Alberta. Gotta be Nazis up there.

Jake

The Nazi cia farm is straight out of ellroy

Ligma

They are known for flying confederate and swastika flags there lol

dan

lived there for awhile—explicit Naziism & white supremacy everywhere. politeness is a reactionary norm.

Inertial Observer

I was in the same grade as Chrystia Freeland's daughter in high school and briefly hung out with the same friend group. It was a few years before the stuff about Freeland's grandfather was really public, but I remember being a bit surprised at how zealously nationalistic the whole family was even compared to most other Ukrainian-Canadians I've met. Also, re: Nazi exiles in Canada, I just recently learned that Otto Strasser (leader of the Strasserite faction of the Nazi Party alongside his brother, Gregor) lived in Montréal and then Nova Scotia from 1941-55 and wrote for a bunch of Canadian, American, and British newspapers despite continuing to promote his version of Nazism (including a Montreal Gazette series ghost-written by Donald C. MacDonald, owner of the most stereotypically Canadian name ever and longtime provincial leader of the Ontario CCF/NDP)

Dean Watson

There’s a lot of Nazis !

Reece Coren

So funny that usf is just called the dons. Love a mascot who’s just a guy

Brian Ward

Pretty funny that the web summit is a legit event or at least as legit as these things get in that space.

gen~

Im from akron and i didnt even know this america loves crypto thing was going on lol

Eli Navvy

The fuck do you mean you don’t know who Godspeed is

Lucy

This Canadian and his “suorrys”

Robert Sayre

I know Lisbon well because reasons. You folks truly missed a TrueAnon grand slam here. The crypto conferences are in those Williamsburg food-hall type places, adjacent to the expensive luxury real estate. The tax scheme the guest referred to is real (NHR) but it's ending this year. I've never done it, but I gather it could be a good idea. Lastly, Brexit totally screwed everything up, because all those Ryanair flights from the UK have to go through passport control.

Vex

Are there any good books on this? Some family members of mine were involved in the 1978 inco strike.

Michael P Dancsok

You bastards pushed me over the edge man. I've been forced to subscribe to you. Great program. Learned so much. Thanks so much.

Vex

As miners not nazis

J

The Chinese invaded Canada in Fallout and that shit DID NOT help tensions

danny

my girlfriend’s grandfather was from the portuguese part of india so his name was Alberto

K H

I think these should be public episodes because Canadians and non Canadian Americans need to know what's up with their history. Each person that knows spreads the knowledge a lil bit. That changes the basis of reality in which we live and changes the bounds of what's possible and realistic.

Return of The Mac 2nite

Churchill saying that “it took a monster to defeat Hitler” also helped cement contempt for the communists who rescued Eastern Europe.

hugomac

Nice job on clocking Jason Kenney as gay (allegedly). I often thought Laureen Harper was giving beard vibes. There was something about that whole cabinet, tbh.

Colin

Didn't paddy also have to resign as CEO from websummit after backlash when he said Israel were genociding Palestinians?

Dylan Lewis

Yeah weirdly he had a good take on the genocide but then faced insane backlash from the usual zionist crowd so caved immediately. He's an odd guy his hatred of the irish ruling parties occasionally also ends up with him having good takes but still coming off as unhinged and not really believing in anything other than personal vendetta.

Eli Jennings

Brace “Ukraine is The Biggest Enemy to America” Belden

j.parson

a friend of mine told me that a guy friend of theirs allegedly hooked up with kenney and had to sign an NDA

Timothy

"Kenney probably likes naked guys, which is fine."

Dirt McGurt

You should get an old penny presser, and then you could stamp "Don't spend it all in one place" on the penny, and be able to streamline the whole interaction.

Dark Belden

Sorry Dan but Sherrod Brown is not good. Better than most democrats? Sure. But that bar is in hell. Not surprised about the black keys though.

jrab

Bro… 😕

jrab

It was a gay hitler

Zzz

What is that?

Julia

Medical Assistance in Dying-the Canadian suicide program that's allowing poor diabetics to off themselves because it's cheaper than providing them with lifetime medical care

gcmmv

vancouver island mentioned

Mickey Soltys

Didn’t Bill Russell go to USF?

Claire

Without knowing what Dan Boeckner looks like, he sounds like Ari Gold.. 👀

Winston Reid

Brace is thinking of the Hi-Tek Incident in Orange County where a shop owner put a Vietnamese flag and a picture of Ho Chi Minh up. It happened around the same time as the U.S.-Vietnam thaw in the late-‘90s. The guy was forced to close his shop not long after. Vietnamese emigres are basically California’s version of Miami Cubans.

K H

I'm not reading a penny someone throws at me.

Sarah Ernst

The rush hate is too much, man

R I

Elon Musk, David Frum, Steven Crowder, Jordan Peterson---ALL Canadian. It's a project of the Canadian Deep State to inject divisiveness and break up the US so they can take over large swathes of it and have a United States of Canada and leave behind a rump state called Jesusland. They even have the maps drawn up already-look them up. (I'm Canadian, but I can't stay silent anymore)

Reece Coren

you know what else was clearly visible from across the river

Reece Coren

it’s probably a great sign that we’ve gone from beating up nazis to writing nazis on the nazi memorial is a hate crime

Cam

Does anyone have any recommendations for further reading on the topics discussed? I’m organizing a movie night for Palestine in my small Canadian community and the majority of people are older and cannot fathom how inherently right wing/reactionary the Canadian government has been/ is and I’m trying to put together a presentation to further educate people

Luis

Thank you for your bravery

Savage Dawn

I think we can all agree, we are indeed in the present day, Brace.

Pdragglz

MTV MAID would be a great tv show

K H

Of course the gang hates Rush. They don't lift.

K H

Who is throwing quarters in this economy?

Brooke

Two episodes of Canada music talk and not one mention of the Tragically Hip

Graem

Two good resources for the Canadian-Nazi links are Moss Robeson (previous TrueAnon guest) and Lev Golinkin. Lev is more mainstream and has features at many news outlets. He’s involved in a project to find nazi monuments around the world. Moss is among the most talented researchers on this and has a blog with ridiculously rigorous and comprehensive articles. His interview with John-Paul Himka on YouTube would be especially useful for you. I hope this is a good starting point for you, you can learn a lot from these two and they can help you find other resources through their collaborations and work. Links to Moss’s blogs https://linktr.ee/mossrobeson Moss’s YouTube where you can find interviews with Himka and Golinkin https://youtube.com/@mrobeson6677?si=dFHlVErTC6_oRUT9 Lev Golinkin’s articles on The Nation https://www.thenation.com/authors/lev-golinkin/

Fogland

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the comments, but the government just released the "Canadian Handbook on the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism". From their list of examples of anti-Semitism: Example 7: Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor. Example 10: Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

Jack Rogers

My company was in lisbon for the conference lol

Tammy

Shoulda changed his first name too, all of those names sound like shit.

Tammy

One of them literally sounds like taking a shit.

Thank you! I really appreciate the resources!

Wasnt chrystia freeland the undead looking freak who said something along the lines of “ Africans don’t deserve democracy bc they don’t fight for it like Ukrainians”?

Carl Jones

So, you ask about other Hitlers, and as it happens there were other Hitlers and one has a buckwild story. Considering YC edited in the Beatles right before you say it, it might seem a bit of a wild coincedence. I present to you, William Patrick Hitler. Born in Toxteth, Liverpool, he was the nephew of Hitler. Imagine Hitler, but with a Scouse accent. There was a whole branch of them there for a while, and they liked to make stories about being related to the Hitler fella. It's quite funny to me. Anyway... When Hitler rose to power, William moved to Germany to get a nepotism job, which uncle Adolf did for him, getting him into the Reichsbank. William was unhappy with this, and then tried to blackmail his uncle (including claims about the Hitlerian ancestry), repeatedly, until he started to feel unsafe and left the country. Returning to the UK, William then wrote an article for a magazine where he spread family gossip titled "Why I Hate My Uncle", which included bits about Hitler getting his niece pregnant and her killing herself. He then went to America, where he was drafted to the Navy not long after arriving, fighting in the Pacific theatre. He eventually changed his name, because apparently living with the name Hitler is a bit of a problem.
