Geoffrey Asmus: War is Heaven | Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank Episode 515

Комедия

Standup comedian and your host Ari Shaffir sits down with comic Geoffrey Asmus for Skeptic Tank Podcast Episode 515: War is Heaven. It's a classic Skeptic Tank episode with someone telling me about one topic that I don't really know that much about: Geoff and I talk about war history, mostly American history. Really interesting topic and fun episode with a very funny comic you should check out if not familiar with. Geoff opened for me in Philly and crushed, you can catch him on the road or in New York at the Cellar. Keep an eye out for his upcoming special too. I am on the road in the United Kingdom at the moment, I have lots of shows coming up over here AND my Wrong Side of History Tour is on sale NOW!

    Hirohito remained emperor, and his clan remains the ruling monarchs. Japan uses the British system. We allowed the officials and Imperial persons (royalty) to mostly survive the war because the US needed to counter the USSR more than anything else. Japan never got its Nuremberg, and to this day refuses to apologize for the grape of Nanking or its war crimes. They gov't schools teach victim mentality. :D

    Good episode, nice conversation, great guy. But Asmus should re-read his history books. People of Norway and other european countries were not necessarily «down and dandy» with the nazis, they were occupied by a superior military might. In fact, Norway had one of the war’s most successful resistance movements!

    My wife's dad was in the Vietnam war and she did 23andme and she has 1% Vietnamese even though she is 99% European and we think it is from Agent Orange poisoning that was passed down and since they all have it and so does she it shows up as she is also Vietnamese.
