Thanks so much for having me on to discuss this fascinating and important topic!

[@Thehillsfamily2009]

You were perfect!!

[@dotz7616]

I am not familiar with this channel, though I do follow yours.
You got me very confused, till I remembered the date about ten minutes into the video..😅

[@Pentagon-qx3tl]

Took me til the crossbows until I realized something was up

[@rpmm24]

no cause same it took me far too long 😭

[@TheLegitIntelligencAagency]

The April Fool's episode, I love it. The most hilarious part about all this was how deadpan it was. I look forward to the next spoof.

[@YT-mn4eq]

OK OK I thought this was all a joke talking up San Marino's fighting capability. But then he mentioned the Subaru Forester and I know they mean business.

[@TheRedLinePod]

Correct, especially when you take into account the power windows, power steering, six-disc CD player, and integrated Bluetooth as standard.

[@rod9829]

Always a pleasure hearing JKL’s succinct and impartial analysis

[@JamesKerLindsay]

It is always a pleasure to join the brilliant team at The Red Line. :-)

[@lukachew32]

San Marino forever!!!!

[@ayou055]

Italy Never!

[@cookiemonster9445]

This episode just keeps getting better the longer I listen.

[@RobFiles]

I would've been great if we could've seen both your faces trying to keep it together while delivering these porky pies.
Thanks guys 🙃

[@JamesKerLindsay]

We just about managed to make it through. But if you could have heard us the second it ended! 😀😀😀

[@doddipenguin5270]

This information is incredibly worrying. As an avid pizza enjoyer, i fear for the day that the Eternal City of Rome is besieged by the Sammarise Crossbow Corps.

[@BRUMMS]

Best Red Line episode ever!

[@ShhhHhhhz]

As somebody from Singapore i didnt really think much of it as living in a world of large predators you need to do what it takes to survive. To us its no joke, Ukraine War has taught us alot. Regardless it got me good, thanks for the laugh!

[@seanchapman2328]

I for one welcome our new San Marino overlords!

[@poisonpop328]

My life was significantly better before learning about this. Now I live in fear of San Marino. After Europe, who's next? Will they head East or West? Or will they deem those lands unfitting for their needs and nuke it to smithereens?
I don't think I'll ever sleep soundly again. When I close my eyes, I hear the crossbow men march. We're all doomed.

[@WythenshawePhil]

That was awesome! Can't wait for next year's episode 😂.

[@lyallfurphy]

This is the sort of analysis that makes supporting The Red Line on Patreon worthwhile.

[@endermarine1686]

next time maybe do a collab with perun about kiwi land invading emutopia and have ian smith talk about armament?

[@TheBossBros73]

Took me until crossbows to realize

[@heinzaballoo3278]

This is some NCD tier content, glorious!

[@haoyuan92]

I demand this prank a yearly tradition!! Awesome🎉🎉

[@fionaryan631]

Thanks for the laugh! Got to watch out for those San Marinos when they jump into those foresters.

[@Rachub]

Glorious

[@InfernalPasquale]

I haven't laughed this much for some time. Thank you 💛💙

[@HelionDark]

I took me time. To remember April's fools

[@Thehillsfamily2009]

San Marino... ICBMs!??? How will the world handle this...

[@omarrp14]

It took like five minutes for me to realize it’s a April fools video…. I was really hoping micro states like this would start getting incorporated into their neighboring countries. Like Lichtenstein, Moldova, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada

[@_Itchy_Bones_]

This is the funniest vid I’ve seen today
Good job yall

[@eddweet]

Is this an April's fools episode? Lol

[@martinboland810]

Where are the three book recommendations to understand the geopolitics of Sam Marino?!??

[@Sabu113]

This would be even better if the listener played bingo to it.

[@Swiftblade300]

Ain’t no way bro

[@LumenMichaelOne]

😊
👏👏👏 ... 💯

[@shelleyyyyy]

Hahahhaha this cured my depression

[@SolaceEasy]

Foolish endeavor...

[@45641560456405640563]

An amusing April Fools Day video. :)
