Hello and welcome to yet another episode on the lines of my donkey's podcast. I'm Joe and with me today is the zoo crew

Francis and shocks Leo mistil in California, and I need to record episodes before I go to Armenia this weekend, so I have drafted them into the hall of horrors that we are creating here today. Hey fellas, I look I always appreciate doing a podcast where I'm not running it because that means that I get to smoke weed otherwise I have to pay attention and then you know this is not going to work. And I'm just really disappointed because I was told there's a hall of horrors and I assumed there was some sort of like carnival

ride instead I got this bullshit so it's a carnival ride as long as you enjoy a long walks through the mountains that I was hoping mostly one way. You know, I feel like the juggle isn't even anything to do with this mess today.

Now this is where I get to point out that you have had the the joys of joining me whenever we talk about awful shit from World War

One hasn't been planned that way. It just always kinds of ends up that way right like you've you were there for our Luigi Codora redo.

You were there for Conrad Van Holtzendorf. So this is like the trifect. I mean, obviously there is the World War One like there's the Verdons and the Passion Dells and a few other ones. It's like the obvious glaring ones, but there's a few other battles that are so catastrophically stupid.

And they change the way history plays out that people just don't give them the attention they deserve. And that's why we are talking about the Battle of Sarah Comish today. Have you ever heard of this one before?

No, Sarah Comish.

See, I saw you name this and I was trying to you named it Sarah Comish. Now I know how to pronounce it. I was just thinking of a skirmish like

um from your moosh, Sarah Moosh, you're the fond angle. It's excited to talk about Queen, but that's my own. Yeah, that is the the Battle of Freddie Mercury.

It's the battle of what they did to poor Freddie Mercury in that fucking movie. Um, but I never saw it. Did you self a lot of favors?

I mean, it's gonna scare Moosh also just kind of vaguely sounds like something I might like like maybe an alternative form of the Rubin.

For like, you know, maybe like, but uh, you know, Rubin that doesn't quite care so much like like a it's like sour crowd, but different in some way. Like instead of like cabbie, sweet crowd. Yeah, oh god, I just made the worst sandwich ever. It's uh, it's a Rubin but instead of the sour crowd. You have like the funny spaghetti candy on top. Oh, we're like, uh, you put like sour worms. You mix it up. Uh, you just mix it in with tasty sticks. Oh,

uh, now there's there's battles, um, that happen, uh, throughout time that, you know, change the course of history that the curses, the stone grads, the Gettysburgs.

Um, and this should be included among them, but it's generally not. And I think the reason for that is because we are talking about to have probably the worst armies in World War One and not to mention both of them would have some pretty serious other shit going on as soon as the war ended in one case during the war.

Uh, that's because this battle is far between the out of an empire and the Russian Empire. Um, to, to dying old

Ziggurat slapping each other with piles of dead. Um, so this is, so we're talking before this pre-Russian revolution then. Yes, yes, but it's like, it's like a fistfight in a hospice.

Yes, it's exactly what that is. Um, and to be fair, uh, you know, we've, you guys join me in more than one episode about Russia.

And generally, it's where like, and this is where Russia fucks up. I don't say that at a single, single point, um, other than like starting, they're getting into World War One, but we're not going to talk about the Russian side of World War One.

Other than being Russian, just in general, other than being the Russian Empire, Russia didn't do anything wrong here.

Which is one of the few times you're ever going to hear Joe say that. Yeah. Um, and honestly, it takes fighting the Turks for Joe to say that Russia did nothing wrong.

This is one of those unique parts of history where like the Russian Empire is, um, uh, heroes is undeniably a force for bad things in human history, generally speaking.
