“There is a story, no doubt apocryphal, that gamers at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, have many times replayed the 1942 Battle of Midway - but have never been able to produce an American victory.”
     – Taken from historian Robert Cowley’s book What If?

 “Find better gamers.”
    – My response.

In this episode, we look at the celebrated Battle of Midway, in which US naval forces decisively defeated the Imperial Japanese Navy.  The prevailing narrative, as portrayed in two Hollywood films, was the plucky and outnumbered Americans were the beneficiaries of good fortune.  A deeper analysis reveals that the two sides were almost dead equal in the most important weapons system, carrier aircraft, and the United States had numerous advantages stemming from its massive industrial base.  Japan did not lose because it was unlucky or was the victim of an unfortunate confluence of events.  The battle itself reveals many of the factors that the United States possessed over Japan in the capacity to wage total war.

The uncensored boys are back and did the first hour and a half of this episode before the Yamamoto news dropped so they finished up their golf game and headed back to the studio to record another 15-20 minutes of their thoughts on the crucial signing! Some other highlights of the episode include Chases new career low golf round of 66, World Jrs, Klingberg singing, Pk Subban, Darryl Katz +Hockey Canada da controversies, the Tkatchuk trade, the dustin Brown statue as well as Chase and Nicks upcoming trip to Seattle to see Zeds Dead! Another action packed episode of hockey content and random shenanigans for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Episode 65. This week's episode involves absolutely no kidding around. For our first brand deep dive, we look at the interesting and innovative Heiwa Shuzo in Wakayama Prefecture. Heiwa means "peace" and this brewery name was adopted in 1952 as a nod to the hopes of peace and prosperity in the post war period. In 2008, the "Kid" brand was released and as a brand, it speaks to the movement of young and up-and-coming brewers making a new style of sake in a new way.  The president of Heiwa Shuzo, Mr. Norimasa Yamamoto has even written a book on his new and collaborative ideas on brewing and producing sake as a team.  The Kid sakes project a super easy-drinking and fruity flavor profile.  Imagine the sake you'd want to sip from a wine glass on the couch after a long day at work.  Join us as we explore and taste the delicious innovation of the Kid brand from Heiwa Shuzo.

We're gonna be honest.... we talk about sweat and spit a lot in this one. But also Fiala, Yamamoto, and how we're feeling as the season hurtles towards the playoffs. Thanks for listening!

Hello again and thanks for listening I'm your host, Cullen. Today we are covering another massive story so strap in for the long haul, but first some housekeeping. Go to Instagram and Facebook for maps and images and to follow along. Head to iTunes when you get the chance and rate review subscribe! This really does help get the show get heard by more people. As always thanks to melhaks on fivver for the episode artwork! Two quick notes this episode has some Japanese names, I'm going to do my best, but I may butcher them, and for that I'm sorry! Lastly, there are a few quotes from historical figures I use in the episode that have a racist term. I wrestled with whether or not I should include them and ultimately I think it's necessary to give an idea of the people that said them and the emotions of the time. Just a heads up, I don't want anyone to be bowled over!

Alright, let's get stuck in!

Let's go back 77 years ago. To the steamy rank jungles of the South Pacific. To a place where the kuni grass grows as tall as a man and cuts like a katana. To an island whose name, few knew but soon all would remember. Where Marines became legends and the Japanese knew only as Starvation Island. Let’s go back to Guadalcanal.
