Further Investigation Warranted: Eucalytpus erectifolia

What does it really mean to say that something warrants further investigation? Where do the warrants come from? And how many more species of Eucalyptus might there be? These are the big, important questions your hosts are considering this episode. Along the way, more personal ones arise as well, such as whether NHR likes anything.  This episode might just pull you back from the brink. Don't come braying to us when you're crashing out, mainlining episodes of Poirot, and winding up isolated in Tokyo. Eucalyptus erectifolia, commonly known as Stirling Range mallee,[1] is a species of mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has smooth bark, narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and thirteen, white flowers and cup-shaped fruit. Theme music by Edward Lonsdale.

What is Glory? (or, A "Card Hold" Piece of Chicken): The Invasion of Capri

Your hosts are back at it, locked in combat. We discuss the idea of the glory of war, how it may have peaked around the time of Napoleon, and how this is a problematic idea to express properly. If a name originally means something etymologically, are you 'misspeaking' when you call something with that name when it lacks the feature that the name originally meant? NHR, astonishingly, argues for an affirmative answer. Tristan is gloating about his personal life going well (fortunes since reversed following the recording). NHR attempts to explain the Napoleon Complex through the lens of schema therapy.  We stumble upon what we believe to be the best coat of arms ever.

Tiny Desk Concert: Michael Serr

Does loving a cat mean that you must anthropomorphize it? NHR is in crisis. Tristan learns that NHR's tiny desk is stored under his bed. In the opinions of many, it's impressive to be a professional athlete no matter what. NHR takes a more critical perspective.  Michael Serr (born July 14, 1962) is a German retired football player. He spent 7 seasons in the Bundesliga with 1. FC Kaiserslautern. As of February 2009, he was working as a player agent.

Doing the Wrong Thing on the Computer: Security policy of the Enrique Peña Nieto administration

A nice political episode. Tristan comes out against the Vietnamese and doesn't know what the Eye of Soron (?) is. NHR blames the hippy movement for the rise of organised crime in the Americas. The security policy of the Enrique Peña Nieto administration that governed Mexico from 1 December 2012 to 30 November 2018 prioritized the reduction of violence rather than attacking Mexico's drug trafficking organizations head-on, marking a departure from the strategy of the previous six years during Felipe Calderón's administration.[1] Peña Nieto has set up a number of conceptual and organizational changes from the past regime policy, and one of the biggest contrasts is the focus on lowering murder rates, kidnappings, and extortions, as opposed to arresting or killing the country's most-wanted drug lords and intercepting their drug shipments.[1] The government of Calderón, however, has justified its position by stating that the current violence in the country is a necessary stage in Mexico's drug war, as weakening criminal groups fight for territorial control against one another and the government. Moreover, part of Peña Nieto's strategy also consists on the creation of a national police made up of 40,000 members, known as a "gendarmerie." He also proposed on centralizing the sub-federal police forces under one command.[1] The president-elect emphasized that he does not support the involvement or presence of armed U.S. agents in Mexico, but considers allowing the United States to instruct Mexico's military training in counterinsurgency tactics.[2] Beyond that, Peña Nieto promised that no other measures will be taken by the U.S. in Mexico.[2] While campaigning, Peña Nieto appointed a former general of the National Police of Colombia as his external advisor for public security, and boldly promised to reduce 50% of the murder rates in Mexico by the end of his six-year term.[3][4] Theme music by Edward Lonsdale.

Jumping Around Like a Little Monkey: JDS Kumano

We have "cold opens" as part of the format now. We discuss the intersection of naval and anime culture, Japanese curries, and the reality show Terrace House. NHR gives an interesting political account of Japanese "cuteness" as a response to unfair demands placed upon women in the wake of Japan's defeat by the Allies in World War II.  JDS Kumano (DE-224) was the tenth ship of the Chikugo-class destroyer escorts of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Development and design The Chikugo class was designed as the modified variant of the Isuzu class, the preceding destroyer escort class. The main anti-submarine (ASW) weapon was changed from the M/50 375 mm (14.8 in) ASW rocket launcher to the ASROC anti-submarine missile. The octuple launcher for ASROC was stationed at the mid-deck, and the entire ship design was prescribed by this stationing.[1] Theme music by Edward Lonsdale.
