Stuff You Should Know
Operation Paul Bunyan

We're just going to call it an incident at the DMV, DMZ.

Stuff You Should Know
Operation Paul Bunyan

That was totally unintentional.

An incident at the DMZ.

That's what we're going to start out calling it.

refine that over time.

But we should probably talk about what the DMZ is in the first place, right?

And by the way, I'm looking real quick because I could have sworn this probably came from someone, but I usually make a note and I'm not seeing that.

But, yeah, the DMZ, I guess we should set up just sort of the deal between North Korea and South Korea in the United States post-World War II was the Soviets and the Americans got together and said, all right, Korea and Korea, obviously, got involved and said, we're going to be two nations.

And if you've ever heard of the 38th parallel, that's the famous dividing line between these two.

Stuff You Should Know
Operation Paul Bunyan

Yeah, North Korea and South Korea got divided after World War II because there was a power vacuum, and the communists were fighting in the North, and they were fighting the U.S.-friendly South Koreans.

And the North Koreans were like, this can't stand.
