Ken & Kevin are in yours ears talking about camouflage. They’re not talking about your father’s camouflage either. They’re talking about the Minecraft looking camo that the Chinese trotted out in September of 2015. When did this idea of block shaped camo actually start? Would it be more useful than standard amorphous shaped camo? Why would you want to use blue block like in the picture above? Are most of the camouflaged the standard colors of green, black and various shades of brown? The guys moved back in time to talk about how women shaped camouflage during World War I. Why did they test out their new camo gear in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx? Did they scare people who were using the park for their own purposes? How well did the camo gear work in photographs? Did it help that all of the photos were in black and white? Did the women have to train to be part of this group? Did they only help to camouflage soldiers? Ken & Kevin move back into the present day by talking about the US Navy going into a brave new world with Captain James A. Kirk at the helm. How many Star Trek jokes has this gentleman heard? What ship is he helming? How many of these ships are there? How much did this ship cost? The ship may be called a Destroyer, but one could also say that about our own species. Where do human rank on the scale of how often mammals kill each other? Do we really want to be on the top of this list? Are we at least lowering our rate of murder? Ken & Kevin acted quite civilized while drinking their Bell Time Beer of the week. Was it in honor of the episode’s number? Find out when you click the link below!
