Episode 502: Way Down In Kosovo Pt 4 of Summer Series 2025
Show Notes Episode 502: Way Down In Kosovo
Part 4 of Summer Series 2025
This week Host Dave Bledsoe was savagely ejected from a bar in the Little Serbia neighborhood of Queens when he ordered a Belgrade Car Bomb. (Yes, there is a Little Serbia in Ridgewood Queens) On the show this week we finished up the Summer Series with that time the United States bombed the Balkans because the President couldn’t keep his dick in his pants. We talk about 1999’s Operation Allied Force in Kosovo.
Along the way we hear about yet another time Dave almost got kicked out of the military but didn’t. (It’s like they never should have let him in!) Then discover why the Balkans is such a trouble spot in Europe. (Colonialism, but in this case, Roman Empire colonialism.) Then we dive right into post World War Two Yugoslavia. (Do we mention the car, you know that we do!) and how this created a lot of people in a small area who all hated each other's guts. When the Berlin Wall dropped, followed by the dropping of Bill Clinton’s trousers, the US and our NATO allies found ourselves blowing up some huts and bombing some schools! (Don’t worry, a lot of them were Muslim schools!) Finally we examine why doing the right thing for the wrong reasons kind of nullifies doing the right thing.
Our Sponsor this week is Safe-Tern,we find interns you won’t WANT to have sex with! We open the show with Bill explaining where and why we are bombing and close with Talon Sei demonstrating why Ska can turn even the worst song into something GREAT!
