I thought that at least Joe was quitting vaping?

Markus D

Dallaire = Dah-lare for pronunciation

Will Dean

I don’t more or less because of hearing about that particular atrocity. So yeah good point, but it’s just hard to take in sometimes. Shouldn’t be a reason not to talk about that stuff though.

Nys

I didn’t fully understand why the UN pushed back on Dallaire going through with protecting the PM and others. Can someone explain the reasoning for this?

BiggerBird

just googled it super cool way to teach IT in Geography and also sociology, but man that had to be a fucked up feeling for the pupils when they realized that the genocide they predicted materialized only one year later...

David Pabst

Thank you for asking this cause I was like woah wait what!?

Jonathan Graham

Liam is awesome on here.. o go back and listen sometimes because of the co hosts … not gonna lie Nate gets on my nerves w his side bars .. . 🤣 love Shocks and Francis

Pat

Whatever happened to Liam though? I thought he was a better cohost here than even on WTYP

Jason Machacek

Bahaha that was awesome thanks for that haha

Pat

It's like that family guy bit where Rush Limbaugh, Michael Moore are both invented characters played by Fred Savage

Mutual Aid Miniatures

You guys know the story about Tim Walz' students naming Rwanda as a likely genocide site? IN 1993!?

Chris Lombardi

One more for the 'tiny Japanese women with screams/growls better then most European men's play list.....

Rob

Actually, there never was a Nick. Joe does voices like a ventriloquist but in podcast form. Liam wasn’t real either. In fact I heard he’s had to hire actors to play Tom and Nate at the LIVE shows.

They're called Flagtitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation (Tom)

Awww man that’s ass… I really enjoyed my time in the army but that was wayyyyy back haha Damn Nick was awesome

Pat

Nick? The first cohost? Joe ate him. That’s the joke. But no he had to leave because he’s an army lifer and this show is not uhh “ US Army approved”

Jason Machacek

What what is the band Tom mentioned at the beginning they sound sick lol

LD-50 Seattle

Well. I WAS in a good place lol.

david reid

Romeo Dallaire was in a bad spot… he did the right thing, with what he had… his downfall was correct, he had misplaced faith… he was a casualty of this genocide as well

Pat

Australia

Thomas Layton

What country was this?

Adam P.

We ever gonna know what happened to Nick??? Cmon tell us!!!

Pat

Foxdie from Metal Gear Solid but for podcasters?

As soon as I seen episode 2 dropped for this I immediately went to the dispensary, picked up 4 8ths, got a 12 pack of Sam Adam’s, and a load of animal facts on stand by. Love listening to the show guys! Keep up the amazing work.

I feel like such a dick bringing this up, but it’s Da-lair, not Da-li-air. There used to be some weird Canadian identity tied up in UN peacekeeping, pre-Afghanistan invasion, that a lot of civilians still buy into, despite us basically contributing nothing for years. Even into the late 90’s in public school there was this idea that our military were the good guys, Canada was a force for good because we protected people, followed the rules, and saved the world during the Suez crisis (even had a prof saying the last bit in 2009 at university). It’s not surprising that someone like Dallaire trusted the UN to do the right thing. I’ve talked to veterans of Cyprus who were really proud of being peacekeepers, believed in the concept and just wished more resources were dedicated to it. They retired before the “Somalia Affair” and Rwanda though.

Eh, humans can be rough, but at the end of the day we're just (uniquely intelligent) animals and this sort of brutality is pretty common in the animal kingdom. Chimps can be cute, compassionate, and smart, and they can also do horrifying chimp wars. Just imagine how nasty antman genocides would be if eusocial insects, rather than apes were the first highly intelligent organisms to evolve brains capable of using fire.

THE HORROR CONTINUES!

My high school history class made a big deal about the Rwandan Genocide and essentially spent three months teaching a 'tribal hatred' version of the history. So I can honestly say that this podcast is better than a high school history class.

Thomas Layton

Don't fall into the human hating nihilism. Remember that there were humans like Romeo Dallaire who did all they could do to stop this. And who knows how many humans who hid or helped tutsis escape or hide.

jackson macpherson

Fun Animal Fact- The Aye-Aye is the only primate that uses echolocation to find its prey.

Elder Dog

Super interesting, so thank you for doing the series. But man, this makes me feel like maybe humans were not that good of an idea.

Nys

Did Bout deliver those Russian vehicles to the UN too? And I’m guessing Bosnia will be next animal facts themed episode.

Jason Machacek

It’s the same thing as all the idiots who believe violence in the Middle East is “ancient feuds caught up in a dispute from 1400 years ago about who should lead Islam” despite shittons of evidence that’s not true at all. A lot of lazy racists want to believe their lazy uninformed fairy tales because reality is too complicated and assuming Those People are just like them is scary.

Matt

Do the An Lushan rebellion next!

john wang

BELGIUM WTF?!?! I am just flabbergasted. I am holding out hope that there were consequences for that Belgian guy

nughh

it's depressing to hear that even in a case where there's a paper trail thousands of pages long of a government organizing a genocide in the most western way possible, with sub-committees and working groups, public perception in the west still remains "a bunch of third-world savages acted out their savagery one day at random"

Gryphoneer

You know it's gonna be a rough one when the ep description is just the part number.

Alex Varrus

I had to stop this episode after the comment about Modern Talking in the context of the Soviet-Afghan War. I tried to look it up and instead found another video of war footage from the war with "Cheri Cheri Lady" synced over it. Knowing everything I know now after reading "Boys in Zinc" by Svetlana Alexievich, it made me feel physically ill thinking of everything I read being done with Thomas Anders voice in the background.
