Thank you. by donkeys and join the Legion of the Old Crow today. Hello and welcome to the Lions and Buy Donkeys podcast. I'm Joe, with me as Nate, and we'd like to introduce to you our new restaurant, Trench Times.

All of the fun of your favorite medieval times combined with the joys of the Western Front of World War I.

Our Sergeant Wait staff will yell at you from the moment you come into our establishment

as they lead you to your seats in one of six trench seating areas, while our cracked acting

staff fire machine guns over your head. From there, you'll be sprayed with a fine mixture of

mud and human shit to really set the mood as our kitchen staff

get to work cooking your meal, which will be on schedule, and by that I mean several days

late with the doors barred, and begin firing real live artillery shells directly at you.

Nate, how are you doing today?

Man, mission barbecue is falling the fuck off.

It was weird enough with all the star-spangled banner and saying the pledges agent ship. But now it's just like, now it's a biohazard. Now they're giving me shell shock. Now I've got neurasthenia, combat fatigue, soldiers heart. I've got all these different diseases for ways they want to kind of like, I don't know, medicalize and pathologize the fact like it kind of sucks thinking you're going to die and

being really conv in the fact that it's a risk for a very long time. The hardest part is when you ask for mustard and they just, you start hearing metal on metal banging down the line. Oh, fuck. Fuck. Yeah, exactly. Ask for mustard. and they're like, well, we don't have any, we don't have any mustard

paste, but there's this gas that'll really make things smell great in here.
