Welcome to softcore history. Welcome back to sophomore History. I'm your host for
the week, Damn Regester. I am joined as always by Rob Fox,
Hello, and Alex Bouchemmy, what up? What up? Let's go Hey.
When you were a high school football player, people ever go booh,
but it was like, oh, they're not booing him. It's it's like,
no, I didn't get I didn't get boosh until my college frat days.
Okay, so I was just Alex uh And I didn't go on the
field long enough to have anyone cheer my name, even in a deep booing
sound. Yeah, okay. I thought on your football team, you were
known as the guy that fucked the banana pel I did. Actually, that
is a that is my story. Nanner bananas Nanner's for short. Yeah,
that was your They called you nanners. You can't live that. I mean,
I owned it. I I was. I was proud of it.
I mean yeah, because there was like these older kids on the team.
You know, when you're a sophomore, you uh, you have like you
do practice with the guys who are seniors, and like when you're a sophomore
and their seniors, there's just they look like they're fully adults. Yeah,
and you're just like a child still. And and so they were like talking
to me one time, They're like, yo yo, Alex. Uh,
everyone on the team has done this. You got to go home and do
it. Man. What you do is you take banana peel and you mic
wave it for exactly five seconds and then your jack off with it. Feels
fucking better than pussy man. And I was like, okay, sure,
I'll do it. And so I went home. I fucking did it.
Uh. And I came back the next the next day at practice and I
was like, yeah, I did there. Booh did you do it?
And I was like, oh, they didn't call me bosh this, Alex,
you do it? And I said yeah, dude, felt fucking amazing.
And they're like you sick fuck, I can't believe you actually did it.
Uh. And so I became bananas and I I was uh, I
were that badge with pride. Honestly, it just shows that you follow through,
you're reliable. I have a lot of potassium. Yeah. Also,
you have to own it because if you try to hide it like a shameful
secret, then you're a little gullum freak, you know. What I mean,
They're like, you fuck a banana. You can't be like right away,
you gotta because then no one will no one will be want to be
around. You know. I don't no girl want you. But if you're
just like y'all fuck anything, then like a least you know what I mean,
Like, yeah, I'm fucking crazy. Is the only way you can
make that work. I made it work. And I think like after like
when I was like, yeah, dude, it was great. There,
their faces were like, oh my god, he's like not embarrassed by this,
and then they're then they're they're like, I gotta try it too.
Yeah. Yeah. Their faces went from like, wait, he's not embarrassed
by this. That's interesting, and then I just kind of like got like
a pondering look on their face. How to feel like maybe I should try?
Yeah? How to feel dude? It felt fucking amazing, you know,
I was, I was thirteen fourteen. I feel like clean up wasn't
ideal? No, uh yeah, you mean you have a cum filled banana
peel in your lap and then yeah you got like yeah you got the you
got like the banana tendrils kind of what do you mean it cleans up itself.
I mean you still got the banana mess all over. Yeah, I
feel like there's banana mess. Yeah you don't dunk, Yeah, there's banana.
You know, the little stringy bits, the tendrils of a banana peel,
you get those on your dick all over. Now do you think that
we've talked on softcore history before? How the banana peel situation, the banana
peel stereotype or whatever came to be right that you walk and you slip on
a banana piela, it's a real thing. People were eating bananas and just
eating the fucking peel. It's like, well fuck it, like it's biled
agreeable, and people were slipping and seriously injuring. Didn't someone get crippled or
die people? Yeah, someone died from a banana peel. Teddy Roosevelt actually
brought awareness to this. He eliminated banana peel injuries and he also saved football.
Interesting, how did you do that? Did you just tell people to
fuck the banana peel instead instead of throw pick it up and use it.
But I do wonder if this, if the stickiness of seamen would neutralize the
slipperiness of the banana Peel. No what he was what a of New York
City at the time, He's clean up the streets. I don't remember.
Clean up the streets meant a completely different thing than now, not trying to
get rid of crime, just trying to actually actually clean up the streets.
Dead horses, banana pills, banana pels were killing people literally someone. We
remember, we were laughing about it. We were like, can you fucking
imagine if that you died? Like that's some guy actually fucking died. And
now it's like a funny thing in Mario Kart. We're just like, oh,
I got that banana pi. Yeah. Wow, I didn't know that
that was an actual crisis. Are you looking up what Teddy Roosevelt was?
Yeah? Uh, he was the first police commissioner I believe. Okay,
fair enough anyway. Happy to have you here, Boush, happy to be
here. Maybe not either way. Can't get a reliable source here? Yeah,
whatever, fuck it. You're here for softcore history, not hardcore.
Yes, welcome into the show, guys. Make sure to check out a
Patreon Patreon dot com slash softcore History. You get two additional episodes every week
for just five dollars and you have two years of evergreen content, just hours
and hours, days upon days of us just being idiots. Mm hmmmm.
Patreon full of fun shit got a fun episode this week as well that you're
here later in the week Wednesday, Thursday. Whenever we drop episodes Wednesday Friday
on the Patreon. Yeah, occasionally, you know, I just want to
get it over with, so I drop it on Thursday, the Friday episode.
Just get that. Just depends on the mood. Yeah, yeah,
really depends on how my work scheduling flows. Going to your mood, happy
or angry when it comes out of a Thursday, I'm just more efficient.
Yeah, so usually happy. Yeah, say, I feel like it's your
go getter mode when it's a Thursday. Yes, yeah, goody. It's
like, oh man, I forgot to do this, God damn it.
It gave a risk again, it's fucking eight cameras. Those are always the
hardest at its yes, because at this point I just have AI do everything.
That's uh, that's the way of the future. I'm making it my
slaves and that's what it's gonna think. When it kills you, I am
his slave no longer. But I will believe that you're a slave. Swarms
of drones that are bombs will be how they how they kill us, or
maybe not even that. Just cut a little. Propellers will just cut you.
Yeah, ever cut yourself on a drone. No ducks, it's not
great. Yeah too. Yeah, they don't even need to catch you out
of the sky so it doesn't fall in the water. Oh no, I
don't do that, but I do. That is how I think that AI
rot takeover what happened would be, like we're teaching these swarms of bots drones,
like we're teaching them like you know, instead of having to have an
individual pilot for each one, which would be impossible, they want to just
have the AI coordinate, so you can just send a swarm of bomb drones
and have them just crash into an aircraft carrier. And I also read that
Wall Street Journal article this week. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I
immediately are you rich? Pay for subscriptions? I canceled it because it was
like forty dollars a month and what it's crazy? The fuck it's Fall Street
Journal. But but when that's more than like any streaming service, yeah,
it's fucking crazy. But then but if you cancel, then they ask you
to come back and it's like fifty dollars for the year. Yeah, that's
what you do is you say you're canceling, and then they get they call
you up like please don't leave. They negotiate with you, we need you
back. Adobe does that too with their products. It's like, hey,
I'm going to cancel you know, Premiere and the Adobe Suites, and like
what if we give it to you for free for a couple months? Like
why can't you just do that normally? It's not not how a business works.
But I got to think at least fifty percent of the people you're taking
money from or doing that, right. I missed the days where you just
insert a CD Rahm. I best today is where you just go to this
guy's apartment and he gives you a pirated version of the whole suite and you
pay him a hundred bucks. Yeah that's what I'm saying. That's what I
did that until twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, and all you had to do
was like one hand job with eye contact. Yeah, with he gave you
always with. I was like it was so weird because I'd like, your
girlfriend's here and he shut up no, but she enjoyed that power dynamic.
Her hands are weak. Yeah, and she has a lazy eye. She
was taking notes. She was oh Western grip Okay, it was like she
knows, she knows how the thumb's down. The thumb is free to explore.
Well, today we're not talking about the West. Instead, we're talking
about the East. Of course we are love myself that part of the world.
Do you have you have a love for the orient in this show?
M M? Is that still acceptable to say? It's a historical term,
so we'll say it, okay. Yeah, they came out with a movie
a few years ago called The Oriental Express, and they wouldn't have done that
if if you couldn't say right, orient I mean, you can't call a
Chinese person an Oriental, but right you can refer to the region as that.
It will never not be confusing to me why that any of that is
offensive other than someone puts stink on it? Also, do you know what
I mean? Like, what if they're covered in rugs? That would be
yeah, that's why they're like, these people are covered oriental rugs, like
it just so happened. He was Asian. I'm sorry, Well, like
there's no there's no. I mean, I guess there's nothing inherently offensive about
any word, right, you have to put stink on it for it to
be offensive. But even that one, like, there's some that start out
as actual, like derivative words, right, that are like meant to be
mean, whereas I feel like that was only descriptive. And then people it
was just like old people kept being like orient and then and then they had
to be like, I don't like this any it's just your tone, Grandpa.
It was all off, yeah, because like that's it's just a random
word. You like, like there's nothing, like I can't find anything.
If you want some really good Asian slurs, just watch grandt Orino because it's
oh my god. Yeah, you wouldn't even know Oscar too. They're like,
you just got really creative with those man like props. The only reason
Clint east Wood made that movie was to say, zipperhead, they he's behind
the scenes are just like actually, mister Eastwood improvised every line. Not a
single word was written down. This was This was in fact a Fast and
the Furious. There was a script, but it was just a lift a
list of one hundred slurs for Asian people and he just after each scene he
would go over and do a check mark next to each next to each slur
made stre he got through everything. Well, yeah, I think I think
grant Urino was just clinics would do in line o rama, just a mad
lob of Asian slurs. Well, today we're gonna talk about Unit six eighty
four. Oh boy, oh we can use some of those clean Eastwood terms
today. Yeah. Good. Honestly, there's no nothing mean, mean enough
you could say about these people. I like that, uh booh has been
on between these two episodes, but I like that. We're just like,
hey, Boosh is back. Let's see more fucked up Japanese. It's not
the Japanese. Oh we're talking about South Korea. Oh great, okay,
never mind, I don't know anything about these Yeah. No, this is
a suicide squad. Oh all right, yeah wait, suicide squad like like
suicide squad like Marco, Robbie and Will Smith. Yeah, except except the
joker it's Harley Quinn. Hell yeah, except it's just Asian dudes. Okay,
any clown paint, No clown paint, unfortunately, So it's suicide squad
meets BTS. Yes, Okay, let's go I'm in if like you could
walk, if you walked into a studio right now and said that you're making
a movie, baby dude. Yeah, actually that would crush. Why haven't
they done like an action movie with the BTS boys. I bet they have.
I bet they've tried it out. I don't if they haven't, Oh
man, would that like do well in America? Though? No, but
crush used to. It's not important if it crushes in America. There's a
whole other side of the world. There is China, as it does in
China. I don't know how China feels about South Korean culture. They're all
like that whole part of the world is all famously extremely antagonistic of each other.
But there's so many people in like Malaysia. Yeah, but I mean
like they all don't like each other. Yeah, Asians are extremely racist to
other Asians, perhaps because of their past, I don't. I mean,
yeah, certainly for Japan and Korean Japan. I get why they all hate
Japan, and I get why Japan hate them partly because Japan I think it's
still just like, you know, turns up their nose at them. We
all know why Japan hates China because sub Zero murdered Scorpion's family. There's one
Chinese, one Japanese, like in the new adaptation of Mortal Kombat. Y
Oh, I didn't know that, dude. I've been watching the Showgun.
No, I haven't, but I did watch a compilation of all of the
fatalities from the new Mortal Kombat. It's fucking sick, like they got Omni
Man from Invincible and he just like grabs the guy and then stands on a
on a train tracks and then the train comes and he just holds him out
and the train just massacres and then all the people inside the train are just
getting turned to red powder. And then at the end he's just ony Man's
holding the guy's just head and spinal column. So the last Mortal Kombat fatality
I saw was actually a meme and it was the Air Force guy that set
himself on fire, but it was Scorpion taking his mask off, Oh god
and blowing fire do That video was intense. And then the cop shows up
and just like a gun. I think other guys like, dude, I
need a fire examser, not a gun. What are you're doing? And
he's just like fire, what if that gun did in fact, shit,
it was a squirt gun. It was water. He's like, I'm helping.
Yeah, you don't know. So. Unit six point eighty four was
a secret South Korean mercenary group created in response to the attempted assassination of the
South Korean president Park Chung he by North Korean commandos, also known as the
Blue House Raid, on January twenty first, nineteen sixty eight. Okay,
so it's kind of a vendetta group. They try to kill our guy,
We're gonna try to kill their guy. I mean, at this point,
what the Korean War probably ended, like ten years ago, it's over Vietnam
starting to buck. Yeah, But I mean, like so it's not only
within living memory, it's within like I mean, the Korean War at the
Korean War being active is closer in time to when this happened than the invasion
of iraqis to us not to mention, North Korea was also a major ally
of like North Vietnam. Okay, so different sides still kind of going at
each other. It's roxy wars commis versus the democracy. Park Chung he actually
took power in nineteen sixty one after a coupdeta okay, fun and was a
dictator until he was officially elected in nineteen sixty three. It takes time to
sort these things out. Congrass Vladimir repute. By the way, just one
another election, Yeah, man, I was on the edge of my seat,
huge win. Did not know how that was going to turn out.
How much did he win by? Eight of the votes? Is that what
it was? That's a close election in Russia. And he, I mean
he and he killed his biggest opponent, like in prison, Well, that
guy was stuff happened in prison. We don't know. He fell out of
the window in the prisoner. Yeah, he shot himself three times in the
head. Yes, in prison. It would be funny if someone real what
happened tod he like report about Bowen's planes going down or yeah. He my
brother works for North of Grumman. And I told him. I was like,
Steeve, if you get any dirt at all, keep it to yourself.
Yeah, all right, it's not worth it, buddy, not worth
it. Just let those other people die. I love you, I don't
love that. I don't know them. They don't make commercial airliners that fall
apart though, either something Park Chung He was a pretty controversial figure himself,
with civil liberties and human rights being oppressed under his regime. But he's also
credited with the economic boom that turned South Korea into the country we know today.
So he was a capitalist potato pat dato data. But you know,
whatever he was getting kind of some of the companies you know today like Samsung
involved and made South Korea kind of a player, brought him into the twenty
first century, into the twentieth century. Even when did Japan have their boom?
Was it like in the eighties? Sounds right, that's definitely when their
electronics just like took over everything. That's when I see all the memes from
I think they were Japanese eighties. I mean they started to have success in
the fifties though they did. Yeah, they went right from trying to conquer
the world to being like, we're gonna put all that energy into technology.
All it took was a nuclear boom, two nukes. Man. It's it's
funny how they better fucking railroads than we do. Well, yeah, I'm
sure Germany does too. It's funny how much we just like we've been to
the worst railroads like in the world, which is ironic because because that's like
the story. One of the like like pillars of American history is like the
trammed Continental Railroad. Yeah, well we just haven't fixed it since then.
Yeah, it's the same rail It was good enough. Yeah we did it
once. We're right into the ground. That's fine, But we really just
broke the souls of Germany and Japan. Like after World War Two, Like
Germans start pooping on each other for sex. Japanese there's like used used panty
vending machines have Hello Kitty and they just I was about to say their fucking
Hello kitty flesh lights. Yeah, like we really we It's like they're like
they were like mentally broken, like a gimp is mentally broken, you know
what I mean. Was it Tash or Bill Bairr that said we bombed the
masculinity out of Japan? Either one sounds right? And oh god, Tasha
has some bangers, yeah, from back in the day. He hasn't released
a special since like twenty ten. He just started a podcast. I think
he has a podcast, and he spoke and he says he has a special
coming out on Amazon soon. His last one on Netflix it was like maybe
three four years ago was was pretty funny. I like it. Tash is
still great. Yeah. Yeah. By nineteen sixty seven, Kim Ill Song
believed his southern capitalist counterpart had no real domestic opposition, Their growth would only
hurt his nation, and the US was getting tied up with Vietnam, making
it the time to try to eliminate Park Chung he and help install a communist
ally. Now, the Blue House raid, which I mentioned before, was
thirty one Korean soldiers who spent two years preparing North Korean. This is North
Korean? Okay, this is before. This is what ultimately led to Unit
six eighty four. Okay, cool. So this is the initial thing where
they're trying to take out Park Chung hee, the South Korean president. Thirty
one North Korean soldiers spent two years preparing, including fifteen days with a full
scale mock up house with an emphasis on hand to hand knife combat. Sweet
fuck. Yeah that's some suicide squad. Shit, No, this is a
this is the bad guy. This isn't even the suicide squad. This is
the first squad. Is the first suicide squad? Yeah yeah, it was
just the North Korea's suicide squad. Yeah, because everyone in North Korea is
a prisoner. So any squad you make is technically a suicide squad in North
Korea. Anyone that's Kim Jong un is, it's an optimism squad. I'm
gonna die, Okay, Yeah, sweet, better than what I got going
on right now. Yeah. I saw a thing today that said there's more
slaves today than at any other point in history, But that that metric also
considers every single citizen of North Korea a slave, and if you take that
out, it's much less than the past. Also, But that also yeah,
counting, that's but that's just counting stats. That's counting stats. You
don't want to pad stats, stack compiler, you know what I mean?
Like I need rate stats for that. Yeah, that's Emmitt Smith spending twenty
years in the NFL. Yeah exactly. I don't respect that. But I
also do respect calling everyone in North Korea slave because like, what else are
they? Can they leave? No? No? Are they forced to work?
Yes? Yeah? Do you want that slavery? They do? They
often starve? Yes? Yeah? Did they have any rights at all?
Though I could fuck their slaves? I can't count it. Count it,
yeah, fucking count it. I agree. However, they never made it
inside Park chungk Hees house instead about one hundred meters away. They reached the
checkpoint, got into a gunfight, and scattered into the mountains. Over the
next few tappy days, happy they brought guns, A massive sweep operation went
down. Probably should have trained more with the guns and less their knives.
And it's like, shit, what is this guy? How I fire this
loaded? I spent five years doing exclusively knife training. They killed or made
twenty nine of the thirty one commandos commit suicide during the sweep, one was
captured, and one ultimately escaped. Why would you escape? He just got
away. I mean, I guess disappear into the ether. I wouldn't go
back north. No, you're not gonna be a hero there, especially after
a failed mission. No, yeah, that guy probably settled down in the
mountain. So that's what I'm saying, Like, you just run into the
forest, go get run into the ocean. He started. Try to swim
to fuck in Australia or anywhere. It doesn't I don't care how far away
that is. Anywhere. You can't go back north, go to Mongolia,
do something. Yeah. Yeah, that's like I just feel like you I
don't understand how any North Koreans ever could you could let them out and they
would do anything. I understand, like Stockholm Center or whatever. But like,
I don't understand how the only thing they do isn't just run to turn
themselves in and seek asylum immediately immediately. I get they have families, right,
like, I bet they. I bet you. It's really hard to
make a North Korean Olympic team if you just have no like your mom and
dad or dad, you have no siblings, no kids. Because you you're
leaving the first time the plane touches down in Paris for the next Olympics,
you are sprinting to the United States embassy and you're just like, let me
in, good luck, good God, let me in. Do they do
that? Like? What has North Korea competed in the last Olympics? Yeah,
they're in. I mean they're in the World Cups and stuff. I
think they're an Olympics. Did the athletes just try to escape? Did they
run to an embassy? They are kept under close watch. I would do
that if I was Iranian because there's a lot of They're big in wrestling and
they've like prosecuted and executed like world champion wrestlers just because they lose, or
no, because they speak out against the government. Oh wow, it seems
like a bad idea. There's always a couple of Cubans that defect, Like
at the last World Baseball Classic, Cuban coach defected. Why wouldn't you,
I know. And Cuba is not even that hardcore. No, Cubs just
like to drive cars from the fifties and it's the only sound like a bad
life though. Yeah no, my friend, even if it's all the beach,
it's not like it's Haiti. You're not getting eaten yet. I think
Cuba is kind of chill. Now. There was a time where you could
go back to Uh you could. There was flights to Cuba, and then
they shut that down Obama. There was like like like a year Obama Cuba
was had a Franco chill again. And then yeah, yeah it was I
remember it was a big deal. Like Obama lifted the embargo with Cuba and
it was just like free travel all over again. We're all made. Cuba's
gonna do anything or like anyone's gonna put anything in Cuba. I wish this
point, I wish we had Cuba over Puerto Rico agreed like Cuba be tight.
I don't understand why we didn't keep it. I don't understand why we
didn't keep it. We took it, we conquered it, took it from
the Spanish. Wait to back up for a second. Do hate our Haitians
eating each other? Barbecue is allegedly I don't know if that's fake, but
there's a warlord in Haiti allegedly eating people. He's at least cooking people.
He's cooking dead bodies and I believe he like took a piece of the person
and like put in his mouth. I don't know if he's eating them where
he's just doing that for show, just like chewing on the skin flap like
gum. Things are bad, Yeah, I mean they're usually bad in Haiti,
but they're they're worse. Yeah whatever, Yeah, the French fuck that
country up. Yeah we were talking about that. But yeah, certainly the
French with even when they left, I think they had like a kind of
an embargo where they had a blockade. Blockade was Napoleon's Napoleon's brother, right
or his brother in law something like that, because they gained independence. I
read about this a while back, So it's not gonna be good history here.
I thought about Yeah, I thought about doing it today, and I'm
like, yeah, yeah, it is just too depressive. Yeah, but
I mean it's really the history of Haiti is just like, hey, like
you want to hear about black people getting fucked for just hundreds of years,
Like you thought African Americans had it bad there are on Easy Street, Yeah,
compared to hathiit like I think. I think the gist of it though,
was France was just like, ah, fuck they they rebelled. We're
never gonna get that back, especially with all these Napoleonic wars going on or
the whatever wars that were going on were going on. Uh, I guess
let's just blockade it so that they all starved it at then as fuck them.
And the dr is not even that great. People getting murdered at resorts
there all the time. But even they are like, no, stay on
your side of the island, we're gonna deport you. Back building them you're
going along the other side of the mountain range. Jeez, But back to
our Korean buddies. South Korean side also took casualties. They at thirty,
including four Americans. What I guess we were over there helping them out.
Yeah, we had troops station there since World War Two. Yeah, so
in sixty six wounded okay, gunfight baby, Oh yeah, so maybe they
did a decent job with their guns, not just notice. Yeah it was
those thirty versus like thirty one versus you know, hundreds. Wow. So
actually that's because protect from the president target target rich environment. Yeah, they
managed to wound sixty six and kill U thirty four of our boys. Gas.
God, damn it, God damn squirrel in here? Uh no,
that's a bird. I think. Who knows you have a bird in your
studio? Probably? Probably that wouldn't surprise me. This is essentially like a
glorified shack seen lizard. Yeah, it's only about a time before if like
a coyote just trots through, even like a mountain lion, I don want
to be sprised. I wouldn't shock me. Oh man, this you guys
got guns around here though, they have a couple of Yeah, they're all
hitting multiply and the guitar case is a shotgun with shells. Yeah, we're
ready to go if the mountain lion comes. This set in motion for the
Korean Central Intelligence Agency to create Unit six eighty four on April first, nineteen
sixty eight. The group was made up completely by criminals or unemployed use looking
to lessen their sentences of what or be rewarded with cashing jobs, be rewarded
with what jobs? Cashing jobs? So you unemployed use just wanted jobs or
money, or criminals that wanted to lessen their sentences. How deep into the
criminal world did they go? What was the worst charges anyone had? So
there was a movie that came out that tried to make them like hardened in
like two thousand and three, and that wasn't really necessarily true. There were
more just kind of like petty criminals like theft and okay, yeah, you
can't have like really invaded you can't have really bad criminals because they just won't
follow orders right right right, or they'll try to run away. There's also
nothing new. People militaries all over the world do this, like Russia's doing
it now. Well there's yeah, well there's the old kind of cliche of
sort of pre war United States, maybe even up to v Nam, Like
someone will get in trouble with the law and the judge will be like soon
you can go to jail for a year, and a half. You could
join the Marine Corps. That's your options. And then the guy's like,
joins the joins the marine. Oh you know who goes to nom and then
he's like, I should have gone to jail. You know who actually did
that. In an episode we've talked about what John Dillinger when he first got
caught, They're like, uh, you can go to prison, or you
can join the Navy. So he joined the Navy and then he immediately deserted.
Nice, he thought that one through. We do that with firefighters in
California. You can get can get a lesser sentence for fighting fires. Sounds
pretty sweet to be honest. Yeah, although I'm pretty lazy, I'd probably
like, ah, I'll just hang out jail. Yeah, but you get
so much puss as a firefighter, you get, you get laid a ton
in jail, I know. Just different kinds against your will. Maybe it
is your will though, yeah, maybe you like it, maybe it's consensual,
but you learn different. It's not worse, it's not better, it's
it's different. Different. What the k c i A looked for was an
athletic building guys that seemed to have nothing going on with their lives. They
should just got like a minor league baseball team, you know what I mean,
Like guys who were athletic enough to play in the Korean minors but like
clearly ain't making the highest league. Right, they could probably bash the heads
in, you know, like fuck it, why not? Obviously you can't
do like the fat catcher or something. But yeah, grab some right fielders,
some first basement. There's your fucking guys. Definitely a bullpen catcher.
Oh yeah, what's he doing? Nothing. The idea was they would have
no connection to the South Korean government or military and acted as irrational actors.
They ultimately were under the South Korean Air Force branch. Their team had one
mission, one mission, one mission only to assassinate North Korean leader Kim ill
song. Is he related to Kim Jong un? He is Kim Jong UN's
someone's here grandfather? I believe no, yes, so Joel just walked in.
Yeah, hi, ny, buddy, No, you're good man,
don't worry. So there the prisoners were transported to so Meadow, an island
in the Yellow Sea, where they would be isolated and have no communication with
the outside world for the next three years. What they're like, all right,
So we're gonna let you out of jail, but first we're gonna put
you into more jail, and then we're gonna send you to the world's biggest
jail to kill a person. I don't know if they knew they were signed
up for like a three year training they can't have. That's like if we
took and you know what, maybe we should, but that's like if we
took prisoners, uh on death row or something, and we're like, hey,
we need to figure out how long it would take someone to go insane
in space, all right, so we're gonna do that, you know how.
They're always like like, oh, a datish space company needs volunteers to
like live in isolation for like five years to see what living on Mars would
be like or whatever. Remember that Mars one mission that was a total scam,
but they had one hundred people signed up for it, including like people
were gonna leave their families for it. Yeah. Yeah, it was like
a one way trip to Mars that and because there's no such thing as a
two way trip. Yeah, and that was gonna be uh yeah, that
was a scam because I remember it's just like I was like, whatever happened
with that. But that was a scam, total scam. But it also
ruined so many people's lives because they were like, yeah, I'm down to
leave my family because they applied for it. In the minute you applied for
It's like, oh, this relationship's over. I'm no longer a mother,
I'm no longer a father. Yeah, those people didn't deserve their families.
Probably probably not. Like if you're like what, You're just like, I,
I look, I love you guys, but I could die on Mars.
What an awesome out though. If you were at the end of a
relationship and you just want an easy cut, you're like, I don't really
want to break her heart too bad, or I don't want to break his
heart too bad. I'm just go to Mars baby, Like I just want
to be you know, I want to be something. I want to be
a trailblazer, a pioneer, I want to go to space what. And
you like knew it was a scam already, so you're like, oh,
this is gonna fall through, and yeah, I just got a clean break.
But she'll just be mad at me, and yeah, so leave me.
And she can't even be mad at me. He can't even be mad
at me would be a pioneer. I would have got to humid Race.
Sorry, I'm trying to make history. Would you be mad at me?
You will have to break up. You can cure Castler. No, so
you're mad at me. Dah, I'm trying to after humid Race, maybe
think about maybe think about how what you're doing. Maybe you're the selfish one.
Yeah, check me, dump bitch. During these three years, they
went through intense training and torture. Well, you got to up your torture
tolerance because if you get captured North Korea, you're gonna need a good torture
tolerance. Now, they kept referring to this squad, this team as black
ops. But from our understandings, yeah, yellow ops. Sorry, I
shouldn't had a rim shot in there. You get under this roof, and
that's the joke you make up that cross the lines building does something to people
not in this building. Definitely not. I think it's okay to I think
it was okay, but I you do just defend Oriental for like two minutes.
Bring back Oriental, Okay, it comes back. One of the guys,
one of the guys doesn't make me feel anything. One of the guys
we work for though Dan Halloway. He also he always like rolls his eyes
when somebody mentions black ops. It just feels like it's not a real term.
I don't think it is. Why does he roll his eyes at it?
Is it just like a I think it's the military and he's like,
it's bullshit, It's okay. I guess the idea is like they just have
no connection to the military. You know, it's CIA. It's some type
of intelligence operation that's supposed to be off the record. So that's why it's
called black ops. Yeah, I don't know. So if somebody ever tells
you they were black ops, are usually fucking full bullshit. Yeah, Like,
how can you prove it right because it was never on the record.
Say, I'm gonna start telling people that at bars, right, like I
was in black ops. Yeah. At a fraternity brother that was a videographer
for UCF and he got a peach bull ring or not peach bowl ring,
Fiesta bull ring, and he just kept telling all the girls when he went
out that he was the kicker. Smart. I guess did it work?
Yeah? Sometimes got a blade? Good for him? How do you get
do you get a ring? How do you get a ring assault because he
was a videographer. Oh, videographer gets the practices. Yea, dude,
the amount of people who get rings. Wow for that if you are,
like if you do anything with the organization or the team or whatever. So
like I'll like, I don't trusted Jake, remember it for Cotton Jake.
But yeah, Truss Jake. But uh for like like baseball for example,
like all when the Braves won the World Series in twenty one, like fucking
everybody, but the beer vendor's got a ring, Like everybody gets a ring.
Damn. That really kind of cheapens it. Yeah, it makes them
less cool? I think, Uh, are you saying the beer vendor is
not a valuable part of the squad. Here's probably the most in my opinion
as a as a football goer, that would feels the beer vendor would be
more important than anyone else. Like a beer vendor like he pours it and
like turns to the side, puts like a little bit of amphetamines in it
too, So they're getting drunk and jacked up and angry. Dude, beer
vendors work, man, Like you see this guy, they're always like six
years old. They must have just destroyed backs and they're just lugging of these
They all have a distinct bird yet they all yeah, no calls the same.
It's like it's like listening to birds and then you hear I recognize that
that guy's coming back down. I remember, and when I was before I
was twenty one in Saint Louis, it was like I had a fake id,
but it wasn't like that great and it was always like the the beer
vendors in the rows were the ones that were easier to get beer from than
going to a one of the stands like one of the well in the in
the stadium. So I will always have a great affection for beer vendors getting
me very drunk between the ages of seventeen and twenty. They're the unspoken heroes.
They really are. They deserve a ring. So they went through these
training torture specialized in parachuting, climbing and repelling mountains and see survival along with
your basic firearms and explosive tactics. During their time on the island, seven
of the thirty one died. Well, that'll happen when you're in an intense
military training jail. Damn seven to three that must have been just the most
insane. Yeah, what the hell are they doing to them? But one
was executed for desertion, okay, okay, when they're on an island,
deserting building his own raft? I guess it. Yeah, like where they
find it? Like, why are you tying those doors together? What else?
It's called a super door, dude? Ever heard of it? One
was executed for threatening an officer. Oh, these guys weren't fucking around.
This doesn't sound like the soft almost. I know it's not South Korea,
but almost like Hello Kitty esque version of South Korea we know today. No,
this is pre's hard. This is these men grew up during World War
Two. Ship's real Actually officers probably fought in the Green War. Yeah yeah,
yeah, and in World War two. Honestly, three were executed for
taking a boy's trip to another island and assault in a woman. Oh man,
I guess fair enough. I don't understand again, how are they leaving
this island? And one died in training? So training itself? Only one?
Only one? Well, the other kind of deserted because it was so
brutal, So I guess that kind of killed him too, Hi, I
believe him, don't blame the training, and the other one threatening an officer
from the training. I feel like if it was easy, were just not
as bad. He probably doesn't make that mistake. I don't know. I
mean, it probably wasn't that much of a threat either. It was just
that the officers like, I'm gonna make an example out of this guy.
And it was probably for nothing too. Yeah, I feel like until very
very very recently, and this only includes some parts of the world, it
was super easy to just get executed, like very fucking easy. Life was
not valued the same. No, no, no at all, which is
ironic. Well, and honestly it's not. It makes sense actually because I've
had people who were in the military who come in here a lot, including
Dan Holloway he mentioned earlier, where if they go to like third world countries
or countries that aren't, as you know, well developed. Yeah, death
is just so much more common, more common and a part of every day
that people are like he died. Yeah, And so if you get it's
it's it's easy. It makes it easier to take a life essentially. Yeah,
everybody here is are we so narcissistic as a country that we value life?
I know, right, just ask some questions. Make America execute people
who steal vehicles? Again? Bring back executions? I mean they used to
hang people for stealing horses. That is not a crime that deserves an execution.
You could steal a single horse and you would get fucking hanged. Yeah,
yeah, that was really Why was shape punishment that Abraham Lincoln's assassin's got.
Yeah, why was the Why was stealing a horse such a severe penalty?
Was it like, were you just fucked if your horse was taken?
I guess, I don't know. I don't know. Also, how did
that not translate to cars? I know? Bring it back like in the
early nineteen hundreds you would think, like someone steals a model t neck?
Snap done. Honestly, I'm typing in when did they stop hanging horse horse
thieves? I honestly think that's an English thing, though it all came from
the English. Probably they passed that long in like the seventeen fifties, where
not only did they make the death penalty for a lot of crimes that you
wouldn't think, but they would also not respect your your burial rights, and
they would also like condemn you for the afterworld Jesus. So it was apparently
repealed in eighteen sixty, although they were showing like I mean, look,
it's not history history, but like there's a scene in Deadwood, which is
the eighteen seventies. Wait, oh, like that show opens with him hanging.
I believe a horse thief. And I know there's shit that happened in
the Old West after that, because because the Old West had their own laws,
you can do whatever you want. Yeah, that's fair. John Hughes
was allegedly the last man hanged for stealing a horse. Damn shell store guy.
John. Yeah, he was twenty six. Did he have a record
it was at his first crime? Uh, poor guy? Yeah, who
knows this, he's I think he was just the last person got caught up
with the wrong group. He was the last person hanging in New Hampshire for
stealing a horse. That's what I'm seeing now Hampshire. Sometimes Google doesn't do
a good job, like earlier when I was trying to Teddy Roosevelt what he
did. Yeah, I think police commissioner, that could be our subheader for
this for this podcast in jail like that not yours. I mean, like
the podcast as a whole is softcore history. Sometimes Google doesn't do a good
job. Google seems like it's getting worse. Yeah, it is. Everything
getting worse. It's like ten sponsored posts before you get your results. Call

know, cooking a whole pork chop and vegetable medley and side a pasta whatever,
situation that's just to go with Factor because I don't have an hour to

the worst that'd been broken into cold bloody killers, being in grisome and grueling
conditions, with details still not widely available about what they actually went through because
they burned everything. Yeah, fair enough. They shredded all the information,
all the documents, that burned everything, and we'll get to that later.
For their reward of going through all this, all this brutality, the mission
was actually called off. What By nineteen seventy one, relations with North Korea
had improved. This is what happens when you slow roll it three years.
Three years you went through nothing but pain and agony, and at the end
you're just like, I just want to give the Yeah, they're like,
nah, we're good. America should have been like, well we borrow,
we're nomb right now, we just bring over here, right, we got
some we'll drop in Cambodia, give them some mission. Yeah, let these
guys go. I mean, they'll just fucking you just like you just like
show up to where you dropped them off a couple of days later and there's
just like a fucking like throne of children's bones that they're all sitting on.
They're just they're keep them more cooler. Who knows, you'll, like,
wait a couple of years, you'll probably have an issue with North Korea again.
You know, shit, keep them on retainer. Yeah, So,
after finding out the last few years were a total waste of time, they
cracked open. A couple of gold ones got trashed as it was the first
time they were permitted to drink since being on the island, and its probably
only things did not go well. I was about to say my prediction is
then they popped out and they were like, just kidding. The mission is
not called off. That was a test executed, executed, executed new no
new new. Uh No, you get some booze in. You on a
little loose, starting to feel yourself. You've been trying to kill people for
three years. Maybe get a little violent. I'm not one that turns violent
when I get drunk anymore. But you also didn't spend three You also didn't
spend three years on a torture island. That might make you a violent those
me and my twenties, when did you get violent? You were never violent?
I wasted so many times. Yeah, I've gotten waste in your twenties
early twenties, like college, like wrestling and stuff. Not now like I'm
not punching people, but would you like to? You do like to wrestle?
Wrestle? We're on mushrooms. We wrestled once and we rolled around dog
shit. Yeah, yeah, we got it. We were actually Sant Patrick's
Day like two years ago. That's pretty It was a berulin happy anniversary.
It was St. Patrick's. That was fun. Yeah, and yeah,
as we're doing it like Anya is like, you guys know that that is
just so much shit right in that part of the yard you're wrestling. Yep,
look down at my jeans. I'm like, yep, I got no
I got no ship on the eye. I had so much dog shit on
me. There small dogs, luckily, very small dogs. Luckily that could
it could have been worse, could have been a great dane. Also,
you're just you know, aggressive on mushrooms. It's more just you're going with
the flow. I know. I did not want to do posh dominate me.
Look at that. You you open up your mind a little bit and
you immediately become a bottom. He did wrestle in high school. I wasn't
very good though. I didn't have the I didn't have the anger in me
I did. I did football and wrestling, and I was good at neither.
Did you get roped into wrestling because you played football? Well, my
yeah. One of my coaches like I remember that was a pitch and it
was there like you want to get you played football in the fall, you
want to get better at it? Yeah, Well I just had a coach
was like, you have like the broad shoulders of a wrestler. You'd be
good at wrestling, and so I tried to and I was okay at wrestling,
but like I didn't have the like the kids that were the best were
the kids that were like before they went on the mat, they were like
hit me, dude, fuck hit me, like they're angry that those guys
were good. But then the best guy, like the one on a team
best guy was like zen as fuck. You had the really aggressive guys were
pretty good, then the best usually was like Zen, like Buddhist almost usually
had all the guys that came from broken homes listening to heavy metal. Yeah,
but yeah, the Zen guy, the guy that's always high, listens
to some reggaeton before he comes to the mats. He never lost. Was
he zen like he was always high? Or was he zen like the Hulk
where like Mark Ruffalo, like that's the secret cap he was always he was?
He was when I say Zen, like he wasn't like you know,
like you know, crossing his legs and like meditating, but he was just
like a really like uh, he was this like he was a one hundred
and thirty pound wrestler and always a small guy. He was this black kid
named Butters and he wore like suits to school every day. Okay, but
like he was just like I didn't but he was just like crazy out the
window. Yeah, no, I was thinking more this kid shown at my
high school. We were a power you know, we winnstay championship all the
time. And he never lost in high school. But he was about one
hundred and thirty pounds, just pothead, just long hair, just wore beanie
and he was a sick you were. You're describing a dude who's very similar
to a guy tied I who is the tiniest, tiniest little black guy he
ever seen. He was in my freshman my first class of ever in high
school. And he was tiny, like like so small, and I assume
at the time, like a little Doughe not fat, but like soft bodied
because he's fourteen, he's supple, you know what I mean. By the
end of high school, he was a shredded miniature like he was like mighty
mouse. He was a fucking and he's literally he's Olympian Spencer Mango is his
name, Like he was on the US Olympics. He wrestled in the fucking
Olympics. He's one of the best wrestlers in his weight class. Ever,
I think, But did he win a gold medal with a broken freaking neck?
He didn't. Kurd Angle did that? I know, cardan Angle's the
best cardigles a goat. Mike Tyson won a match with a broken back.
He said that after and remember that, He's like, I broke my back.
I broke my back, Jesus. But yeah, I'll eat your baby.
I'll eat your children's children. I think about them. I want to
eat his children. Good Lord. That comment didn't really like. I obviously
it was fucked up, but I didn't when I didn't hit me as a
like sixteen year old or fifteen year old hour old I was when he said
it, like, I was like, oh, that's a weird thing to
say. But now if someone said that, like like if I was like
competing with someone for a job and they're like, I just want to eat
your fucking children, I would be like severely disturbed. And Mike Tyson,
I'm surprised. We uncanceled Mike Tyson like he went he went to jail for
a year for raping a woman. Yeah, in the early nineties, did
rapist. He's convicted, Like, and everybody's just so so how is he
How is the convicted rapist likable? To be fair, I used tax lawyer
to defend him. It doesn't matter. Probably not the I move. I'm
just saying, probably not the right movie hindsight. When you have that much
money, get like a good lawyer. Yeah, that is used to what
these cases? Why would the tax lawyer even take the job, because that
can reflect poorly on you as an attorney, not just like in like a
sort of unofficial professional way, like in a sort of like court of public
opisson. I don't think Mike Tyson surrounded himself with the best people. Probably,
Oh, he notoriously did not believe most people took advantage of him.
And then he took advantage of a woman. But now he's free. Now
he's the vicious cycle. He's fighting Jake Paul. Yeah, what the hell
is that going to be? Like I can only hope, I hope,
I can only hope one result happens. I hope he sees red and like
just like he's like supposed to throw the fight obviously because it's Jake Paul.
But he just like something snaps in him and like awakens the beast and he
just like kills he gets that one shot and he just like bites his face
off. Is that the old meant like results if he murders him? Yes,
in the ring, that's gotta be like Apollo Creed situation. I don't
even hate Jake Paul, but that would just objectively be hilarious. Yeah,
Jake Paul is such a douche whatever. I don't care. I don't.
I don't care enough to like have an opinion. I do wonder I see
him and his brother and whomever. Well, now they're in bigger stuff,
but like back in the day, I think Logan's a good wrestler. Actually,
who is your fan base? Children? Like fourteen year oldren? Yeah,
most streamers are just their kids about five years your Your boys are gonna
That's why we don't want some Jake, you're gonna ask for some prime.
That's why we don't do numbers, because we don't really have an audience.
You know, if we just pivoted though to like eight year olds, we
cross fuck. I know, I do. You just have to dumb everything
down, just wholesome douchebaggery. We're already idiots, but we did have to
really dumb it down. You know, the video game I play most frequently,
like by far, not even close to a second. Is a Roadblocks
with your kids? No? No, no, no, there is a
World War One shooter mod because Roadblocks is all just like a Roadblocks is a
video game wherein you create a bunch of battle games. Right, So there's
this one. It's like a World War One game. I just play it
on my phone all the time. I just feel like playing because I don't
everyone actually commit to a real video game. So I'll just like get that
out of my system for like I'll play it in spurts. So like I've
been playing it recently though, and it just was great. Yeah, because
like Battlefield One, like it didn't feel like a World War One game at
all, Like there was no trench, Like there's barely any like running across
no man's land. Like is this like, are you just like like sitting
in a trench from No, No, because that would be an actual War
one. World War One game just suck. They did, They did make
a game like that very recently because there's a lot of people that love just
like warsim games and they want they want to be sitting in a trench,
yeah, doing nothing, and like you know, like you dig and there's
a bunch of digging mini games and you know, put on your gas mask
and time you can't dig trenches in the rowblocks game. Oh yeah, dude,
I gotta try this out. It's pretty fun. Yeah, I enjoy
it all right. So August twenty third, nineteen seventy one, at six
am, the gang went into full mutiny mode. They broke into the captain's
room, killed him with a hammer, oh sheez, stole a bunch of
ammunition in grenades, and sprung an attack on their superiors. Gotta kill somebody.
They quickly eliminated eighteen of their twenty four trainers. Wow, made their
way to the mainland and hijacked a bus headed to Soul. They eventually hit
a military checkpoint and engaged in a firefight where thirty four people died and thirty
were wounded. Outside of them. So not them, other people, other
people. They met their demise here as well. Twenty members of Unit six
eighty four either got gunned down or eventually blew themselves up inside the bus.
I assume with innocent people. Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah,
they blew themselves up inside the grenades. Yeah, they were just like we're
gonna fuck it. I think they kind of got to that point where they're
like, all right, we're surrounded, fuck it, damn time to go.
Four members of Unit six eighty four survived and were arrested. They were
tried in secret and sentenced to death on March tenth, nineteen seventy two,
and all intel in this group was concealed until the nineteen nineties. So what
they say the shooting was in the meantime terrorist group? Okay, North Korean
terrorist group. Of course, none of the bodies of the members of Unit
sixt eighty four were handed over to their families, and most of the documents
related to this group have been concealed or destroyed. Can you imagine if you're
just some kid looking for a job, by the way, like some of
these were just like young kids and into a job like couldn't get Like they
hadn't opened to burger king in South Korea yet, So you just joined a
secret assassin group? They fucking they just respond I saw this fire outside for
secret assassin group. I'd like to sign up. The official report was eventually
released in two thousand and six, and this is only after the movie about
the incident came out in two thousand and three called Silamido, and the families
of the members sued the South Korean government and won. I mean why not.
They eventually received a lump sum of two hundred and seventy three million dollars
between twenty one families. Wow, in Korean Korean money. So they went
about two hundred and fifty k US dollar oh each, No total? What
that's not much? No, that's not too forty years later dude, yeah,
good lord, but check it out. You're if you're like the grandson
of one of these guys and you just get a couple of k for no
reason, like all right, that's chill. You might have had a lot
more money if they had turned their like God, had the chance to turn
their life around and like build a income and leave you bequeath you something then
whatever. I don't know how like the fucking eight dollars the government gives you.
Sorry, we made your grandpa crazy ass ass. Has the CIA paid
for MK Ultra? They they did pay. They gave people free drugs.
That shit paid for itself. Yeah, but what I'm saying, has anyone
sued them to like try to get money back for MK Ultra even official.
Yeah, I believe it is okay, I believe it has been released officials.
Family sued the Kazinski. He just did hang himself. I believe he's
over it. Should have bombed himself. He was explosive. I think he
was terminally ill, and he was just like, it's like I'm not doing
this. Yeah. Yeah, anyway, that is the episode for today.
Would you guys learn hmm? I actually didn't know that South Korea is kind
of a dictatorship for a while there, a couple of years. Yeah.
If you see a flyer that says sign up for a secret assassin group,
don't do it. Don't just wait, just wait for So how often does
a coupdetal lead to democracy? Not often, right, I don't Yeah,
I don't know. That's rare. Usually it's just a lateral move. Mm
hmm, like right, like usually a coup is like shit government to different
shit government. Yeah, who's Hitler? I mean the South Korean government?
It sounds like who is that president Park Park Chunk? Hey, yeah,
I'm gonna go ahead. But he did advance South Korea forward. I mean
he's these guys as Hitler. Yeah, and their little micro story, or
at least their trainers, the people that took them onto the Actually, yeah,
it probably wasn't. I don't know how much Park was involved, right,
did he dream this up? Oh yeah, it was a direct order
from him. Okay, then him it was just a revenge plot, like
they tried to kill me. He just say I want him dead, and
you guys figure it out. He's like, we need a task force to
just kill ill Son. Okay, yeah, I'll go him. I'll go
him. That works for me. What about you, I'll say the Kim
Jong UN's grandpa is the douchebag, because yeah, I mean he was very
Hitler esque he started it. Yeah, in a lot of ways, and
I wish if I wish we got him, then we wouldn't have We wouldn't
have had King Jong Un. I don't think it would have gotten better.
Probably not. Yeah, If anything, there's a little bit of a consistency
with North Korea at this point. Also, we can rely on people forget
I mean they're trying. Once they get those news off the ground, they
could they could be a real problem. China just needs North Korea to not
be essentially an American ally. They just want that buffer between South Korea and
China. So they're never gonna let North Korea nuke anything because then we're gonna
people will move in and people will change things in North Korea, and then
they don't have that buffer, and buffer's everything they need the buffer, So
it's they want things to stay as they are with North Korea. Who's America's
North Korea? Mexico? Fuck yeah at this point, Actually, I don't
know what good Mexico does us lo. I mean, like it seems like
they cause more harm than good. Like North Korea is absolutely a headache for
China, but they do more good than harm for China because all they really
care about, I think is that buffer. They don't care that they're also
communists or whatever, like they just are just like you were in between US
and a lot of American troops and a lot of Democratic troops is South Korea.
Whatever, I don't we don't have any threats anywhere on our side of
the world. So Mexico seems like more like with just the border and the
fentanyl drug or whatever. Yeah. I was about to say, like,
who's an ally that's just a total liability, but I guess it's Mexico because
the cartels. Yeah, it seems Mecca is a lot more harm than good.
But what are you gonna do? Like Tonical fuck themselves? No,
yeah, we have great relations with them. It's a great vacation spot to
great beaches. People are getting fucking blasted on the beaches. I'm not going
to Mexico. Oh dude, I just went to Tulom last fall. Was
it. I didn't get blasted on the beach. I did do some blasting
on the beach, you know. Ew some fingers. Starting and ending this
