So four times the size. Nagasaki was 25. Holy shit.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

One was an atomic and one was a hydrogen, right?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

I think so.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Right, right. And don't look back because it will rip your eyeballs out. That might be my tea mug that you just grabbed. Oh, is that it?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

there's a great series on Netflix right now about the Cold War. It's like three episodes, but it goes through, you know, just the espionage that went behind it all and, you know, how the nuclear codes got to Russia because, was it the, what was it? It was the couple, the Rosenbergs. Oh, yes.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

And there was a few people that basically got the information to Russia and then once that happened, like, everything fucking changed. Like, after World War II, basically in World War II, The we bombed Japan not because they weren't going to surrender.

The Joe Rogan Experience

There was like this is what this documentary talks about, that there was an end in sight, that they were they were crawling, they were on their knees. But Russia had sent forces into Japan as as our allies to help, you know, finish the finish the war. We didn't want them getting any of the credit. So we bombed before while Japan was on route, while Russia was on route, we bombed Japan. Whoa.

So once we did that, Russia was like, oh, it's on. Fuck them. We need we need. And they basically just they realigned their whole military, their whole budget. Everything was about getting nukes after that happened. Those bombs didn't need to be dropped.

The Joe Rogan Experience

And I think the same thing is true of Kim Jong-un right now. I don't think heβ€” He was friends with Trump.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Imagine if that was how it all worked out.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Yeah. Give the people electricity. Dude, it's so mysterious when you hear about people that escaped from North Korea and they talk about how literally it's the thought police.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

He shot a round of golf. He shot a 27 in 18 holes. That was his dad.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Yeah. But also, if you don't react like that, the police see you and they put you in a fucking gulag for like five years.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

And then if they find out that you have a relative overseas that's bad-mouthing North Korea, your family gets put into a fucking camp.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Yeah. It's so mysterious, too.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Dennis Rodman, yeah. If I had to pick one eloquent NBA star, it would be Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Uh-huh.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

He'd fix it. He'd take that nuke like it was a fucking three-point shot. He'd just reach up, stop.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Yes. Oh, yeah, I did see that.
