Transcripts:
You know how racist you had to be to like be in the South and wake up one day and be like, "Wait, they freed who? What the [ __ ] I'm going up there. They had to change." There was a battle. I forget the name of it. So, I was just watching the Ken Burns on it. What is it? The unban fuel. Yes.
So, the French were kind of [ __ ] up the Vietnamese. I mean, they had it was the same as us then. They had superior firepower, but again, just like time and time again, the Vietnamese were very good at guerrilla warfare because we trained them during World War II. Oh, yeah. Yeah. A little [ __ ] you know, mujahaden type [ __ ] Yeah. And they were about to come to talks.
France and Vietnam. They were about to come to the table. Before they went to have talks, they both tried to get one more offensive in. So they had leverage when they went to talks. Nice. So France sets up at what it Yeah. They just put themselves at the bottom of this valley and they're like, "We're just going to build an airfield here.
We're going to [ __ ] them up." One of the French generals was like, "I have too many guns. We're going to [ __ ] these dudes up." And the Vietnamese surrounded them in this valley and just destroyed them. The French guy, the general that led that killed himself honorably cuz he was like, "We're going to wipe the floor with these guys.
Why are they going to valley? Isn't that a bad I'm not a military tactician, but isn't that not the good idea?" How crazy are the British just going to come over here and start marching? Yeah, we're going to walk right on your chest. Red red red jackets. It's 100% a target. Red and white is what you use for archery targets.
They had to change. That's a dumb It's a dumb. Once rifling took over, they had to be like, "All right, we got to switch our uniform." But I think a lot of people don't understand why Napoleon is the goat. Because in America, we look at the French as just getting walked over through wars throughout history. But they he was that [ __ ] Yeah.
So you were when we were in our private drunk bar conversations, you were breaking down uh Napoleon and that's cuz I had just read it and it was fresh. I don't know. Total War. Just break down Total War. Total War. Yeah. Which is different than American Total War took. Yeah, kind of. But yes, they were the Total War was like maybe invented by Napoleon where it was like using the entire country the way you were talking about using like women just the entire country's industry switches to to war like when it's war time. Yeah.
The car makers don't make cars. They make tanks. Okay. And bullets. And the entire country is like, "Yo, it's on." And no other country did that. War was kind of It was gentlemanly. Yeah. It's a weird thing. Would have like Yeah. They would like when they surrendered a fort, they would like hand them a sword and have like a meeting and all that [ __ ] But he was the one that was like, "No, we're [ __ ] them killing everybody.
" I'm wondering how many more people have died in war since Napoleon. Like I mean, World War II was crazy. One and two were we did it. It was the worst things that have ever happened. Yeah. Yeah. They did it and we'll do it again. Yeah. We're going to do it again. They to we those guys did it and now we're going to do it again.
We were in both worlds alive. We're We'll be in the third. I'm sure. Yeah, we'll do it. But does the third happen? I don't know. I go back and forth that the third one actually happens cuz I think if the third one happens it's just everybody's dead cuz we have weapons of mass destruction now. Yeah. I I just It's like the Einstein quote.
Yeah. What is it? The last war will be fought with. Yeah. The first war is like bullets and guns. The second is bullets and guns, but the third will be sticks and stones or something like that. What was World War I over? That's the ultimate dumbest [ __ ] one ever. What is it over? Uh Austria Archduke France Ferdinand got assassinated in Serbia.
That's right. And then and the guy lucky ran into him outside of a restaurant. I tried to kill him, didn't. Then his car was parked outside of a restaurant. He's like, "Oh, yeah. There he is. There he is." Yeah. And then uh their ally was Serbia's ally was Russia. Austria's ally was Germany.
Germany was like, "We're going to help Austria." That's why they got blamed. Wow. And then the whole world And then the whole world, which they were all cousins. Why were they Why did they assassinate that dude? Uh because Austria and Serbia I guess had a pretty long history of fighting each other and he was in Serbia. Montenegro was it and he it was kind of like flaunting it a little.
Was kind of like you shouldn't be here like when Nancy Pelosi went to Taiwan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was just like yeah I'm I can handle it. Yeah. What what you going to do? I could be wrong though. I think it was like uh France Ferdinand was actually like one of the guys in Austria that liked Serbia and he was one of the guys like helping it.
He was like an advocate for it. So what happens to Germany during World War I? So World War I was over nothing. They fought everybody died like millions of people died over and a lot of times it's this trench warfare where they over the course of four or five years they gained nothing lost nothing. So at the end of the war, like when France and Germany and England had to sign this treaty, they were like, like the allies that won were like, "Oh, we got to make we got to gain something out of this because otherwise our people are going to kill us." When we signed
this treaty and neither of us, nothing changed and that was all for literally for nothing. So then they they just blamed Germany for everything. They were like, "You guys, you owe France reparations. Gorilla Prince. God so good. He was 19 years old. [ __ ] up the whole world. Wow. Good job. Gorilla. One teenager.
Yeah. History like the quick history we have of Native Americans is that they were like one with nature and peaceful, right? And it's just it's like it's actually borderline racist where you're taking away the agency of them. They were people, right? They were shitty, right? They were just as shitty, right? So, you know, they had issu Yeah.
Like well like because I think like most people don't know cuz you read this book but like most people think I know I think like America uh you know the United States came in ripped these good you know nature loving Native Americans from their land put them on reservations and we owe them everything like we are horri so horrible to them which I'm sure is all true I know that that is all true but the problem is is that the Comanches at le one tribe of the Native Americans the command ies were bad or like did you learn that like a b a bunch of them?
Yeah, there's a ton. There's I mean there was so many tribes and they were like the Comanche when they started not started but like the early like the early records of the Comanche were like they were kind of up in like the Rockies and they were they were little tiny guys. That's another thing.
Squeaks we call them on the show. There's squeak like uh Yeah, because we have this version of Native Americans that are like the northeastern, you know, the woodland tribes where they're all like avatars, right? Like long and sinuin, you know, s how do I say that word? I don't know. I've never heard of it. Sinnui cinnamony. Long avatar people.
Long avatar people. Okay. But then you head out west and they were they were much more like Mexicans, right? Just little squeaks. Those were the Comanches were the squeaks. The Comanches were the squeaks, but they were [ __ ] And they sucked for a while and then and then when the Spanish came over, brought the horses and then the horses would start to escape and get out and certain tribes didn't know what to do.
Like the Apache were just eating the horses. Really, they weren't sure how to these things are good. We're going to keep bunching these. And then the Comanche started riding them and got like incredible at it. And then so for like centuries they were the lowest on the pecore and they would get [ __ ] up by everybody. Yeah.
The Comanches would get rocked by everybody and then they got horses and just they got revenge dude. They colined out by all the people that were picking on them. Got for it. They got it. They got it hard. You had to think of how much the British army conquered in the world. Everybody. Everybody.
And imagine that their decision to fight was this way. Like how how did you get from like the Mongols to that? How does that happen in a thousand years? The Mongols had all these crazy tactics. They would they would starve people out, lock them in their cities. Yeah. They would wait them out slowly. You get artillery and guns, you can just Especially that's But this is crazy.
That's just running it down your throat, dude. It's like we're going to walk at you. But I just can't imagine that someone wouldn't say, "Hey, isn't there a [ __ ] better way to fight these people?" Yeah. What are we doing? Let's get behind a tree and then shoot them. I can't even watch this, dude. I can't believe people did that.
That's what's so crazy. It's like, how did they survive to become that silly? Like that's a silly way to fight a war, right? So, how did they survive with those strategies? How were they dominant with those strategies? cuz they're the only ones with well most of them are colonies where the other guys are they have [ __ ] cowh high hide shields and spears like the Zulu and so they were the only ones with mustard you have [ __ ] guns you just yeah you're going to win you're the only ones with guns so the British were the only ones with
guns well when it came to like their colonies on a in a land war they would lose a lot to like France Prussia those like major continental powers but England always had a navy they always dominated through nav naval warfare and then they had to team up with everyone to stop Napoleon. Dude, once they started shooting cannonballs off boats.
That's a problem. That must have been a game changer problem. When did they start doing that? When they start doing cannonballs from boats cuz that's bro, that is a [ __ ] Yeah. You got a cannon on a boat. Shooting people without cannons. Boom. Yeah. You just do this all day. How many times did they have to shoot that cannon before they figured out how hard they have to bolt it into the floor? A lot.
Shot out the other side of the boat. You got a floating wooden thing with this giant iron tube on it that has explosions go off on it and just four poor guys from Manchester operating it. Oh my god. Boom. Yeah, speaking of the Japanese, I was watching Letters from Euima. You ever see that? So, Clint Eastwood did Flags of Our Fathers and then he did Letters from Euima and it was uh about the Japanese at Euima and it they were [ __ ] [ __ ] Why? They just they they killed themselves constantly.
Really? They're like, "If we're going to lose, we got to kill ourselves." It's part of their culture though. It was a dumb part of their kamicazi plan. Kamicazi is sick. This is just literally us sitting here be like, "All right, they're probably going to win. We should just do the honorable thing right now and kill ourselves.
" And each dude just takes a grenade out and it's like, "Goodbye, everyone." Oh [ __ ] It's like, "Don't do that. Go take the grenade and throw it at the guys coming at you." Yeah. That see they didn't they were like that don't be a coward. You got to [ __ ] kill yourself right now. Damn. That's also a good war tactic, too, though.
Just be like, "Yo, Japan, I don't know if you know this. We're winning." And like [ __ ] Yeah. You can't fire us. We quit. They did rage quit. Japan rage quit constantly. They were down 30 and Madden was just like, "Fuck this [ __ ] I'm turning off the game.
