Show Notes
Deep dive episode alert: Hitman looks into the El Salvadoran civil war. War crimes, massacres, assassinations, forced deportations, counter-insurgency warfare. Pretty interesting stuff, wasn't that long ago. So, we should kinda give them props that they're even a little stable these days.
Oh yeah, the US kinda supported the government during the war. You have been awarded one yike.
Book recommendation: The Battle of the Crater by Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen

Didn't your dad always tell you not to say "and stuff"? Well, we just did. Anyways, fun ep with the boys talking some stuff about Venezuela and other problem areas. Nothing astronomical, just listen while you work your mindless 9-5 if that's your thing.
Have you ever had a bad haircut experience? Then this episode is for you. We also talk some geopolitics stuff
In this episode, we kick things off with some lighthearted banter before diving into heavier topics like the Israel-Palestine conflict, how media covers war, and the role of combat journalists. We reflect on historical events like the Vietnam War and the Battle of Mogadishu, while also breaking down Poland's military readiness in today's tense geopolitical landscape. The discussion unpacks the messy realities of war, media narratives, and the human stories behind them. From there, we pivot to the aftermath of Mogadishu, the evolution of military aviation, and the role of microwave technology in modern warfare. We also touch on cultural myths, how movie trailers shape expectations, Austin's growing comedy scene, and the wild world of reality TV and celebrity culture. Packed with humor, insights, and a few personal stories, this episode is a lively mix for anyone curious about these topics.
You know the drill folks. All over the map on this one, some cool stories about the OSS/CIA in China and SE Asia, some weird vibes about drone defenses and that random UFO getting hit by a hellfire missile. Plus our usual recommendations-high quality watching, listening, or reading. Also, don't hate on the artwork too much, Grok is doing it's best, we know it's super weird.
