2025-02-27 21:40:57 +0000 UTCCan’t believe no one made the Space Balls joke of “how many mstislavs we got on this ship anyhow?!” Also, the numbering scheme for Mstislav is based on which jersey numbers have been retired. Mstislav 23 was also known as was His Airness

Jalil Henry
2025-02-11 04:13:41 +0000 UTCOne Mstislav is to be commended for bravery, and the other Mstislav is to be executed. It is vital that nothing mistake can be made, so I have set the task to my faithful servant, Хенниморь

2025-02-05 08:28:53 +0000 UTCI don’t know if anyone remembers the original premise of the TV show The L Word but today when I saw Milo was the guest I realised I was completely capable of making a highly detailed Podcast version of The Chart off the dome….. now I’m asking myself if is this a problem?
mumbles march
2025-02-04 22:47:28 +0000 UTCLot of Slavic given names end with -slav because it means fame, glory or to celebrate, to glorify. Also Msti- mean vengance so I asume they weren't nicest of people.

2025-02-04 02:00:31 +0000 UTCSo the Rus where Swedish/germanic people that adapted into Slavic groups. So my family Also I i can help image the mistaslav as Ms. Slav. Again it reminds of the viking name joke from spongebob Olaf expect the captain

2025-02-04 01:57:59 +0000 UTCIIRC the reason Nick and Rich stopped appearing is because they’re active military and the show is big enough that the army would have to approve the content if they were to continue being on the show. Alas. 😔

2025-02-03 01:54:07 +0000 UTCIncidentally Ted Cruz called us in New Zealand bad allies because we apparently are refusing IDF soldiers visas. (We aren’t, they travel visa free here ). Bit rude. Especially when a bunch of Israeli intelligence types got busted generating fraudulent passports her not all that long ago. Keep your fucking Ted out of my country please.

2025-02-02 20:44:35 +0000 UTCSalad in China is always drenched in Mayonnaise, it's disgusting. The Chinese word for mayo is "shalajiang" (salad dressing). They put mayo on almost all western food in China as a substitute for cheese. I had to throw away a few sandwiches because there was nothing but mayo on them.

2025-02-02 16:16:06 +0000 UTCI was first taken out by the phrase “student of Slavology”, which got me because my literal major in college was Slavic Languages and Literatures. Then I was entertained by the several minute long disclaimer about how “Kievan Rus was NOT Russia, please stop getting weird with the history in order to justify fucked up modern nationalisms”. Agonizingly familiar. Great stuff, love to hear Milo guesting.

Jeffrey Garcia
2025-02-02 14:08:41 +0000 UTCEvery single eastern european country fighting over the legacy of the Rus, meanwhile the Rus nobles were seemingly exclusively preoccupied with racism, hating their wives, and trying (unsuccessfully) to invent a single name except Mstislav Btw Mstislav means approximately "glory in revenge" which goes hard as fuck so I can't fault them too much for being called that
