Ep. 589 Minamoto no Yoritomo

·1 hr 53 min·5 clips

Minamoto no Yoritomo becomes Japan's first shogun, but the hosts imagine him overacting like a Japanese drama.

Comedians Jacob and Tim explore the life of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of Japan, blending historical facts with crude humor and modern analogies. They cover his rise from exile to power, key battles, and his ruthless, petty nature, while also joking about Thanksgiving gluttony and listener comments.
