They may not have had a magician but the more I hear of this the more I become convinced that they had CREEEEEED!

C'mon Joe, it took me 5 seconds to open a tab, write basij and find a local news reporter saying it like you but with confidence, don't worry so much :)

Episode 9 brings us our first guest! Tom is an Officer in the United States Army Armor Corps, history graduate, and anonymous shitposter on twitter. On this episode Joe and Tom talk about the stupid history of German WW2 armor development and how it went from revolutionary to comically insane in a short amount of time. We also discuss the myths and legends surrounding German tanks and battlefield prowess that has managed to follow the soldiers of the 3rd Reich for nearly 100 years after their fall.

We end the episode talking about the stupid things we manange to get ourselves into on #natsec twitter and how we have both managed to have a run in with General Abrams.
