    Absolutely hate how the opening line could be mistaken for current events a decade later.
  • @HLBear
    HBO, please put the original air date in the description. ⭐️
  • @chenzenzo
    Had to double check since Jon looks younger and then remembered that they're releasing the full library here. Excellent!
  • Ten years ago, they were talking about war in Ukraine and Gaza. Some things never change
  • @harleyk101
    Who else has HBO Max but watches all these on YouTube?
  • He started talking about war in Gaza I thought this was recent, then I realized it could be anytime in human history
  • @mntking22
    "Ukraine is sliding in to anarchy, the Gaza ceasefire is tenuous ..." WHAT YEAR IS IT?!
  • @Air-ts7cu
    That guy 100% still thinks those two are from India. Totally over his head lol.
  • @Lil-Britches
    S1 Ep12 ya don't say, the Black Hair and lack of stress said entirely enough 😂
  • Former USAF nuclear weapons technician, here. I think about them all the time. People are clueless as to their power and lasting effects. And if you think we're doing a poor job of maintaining them; you should see how Russia operates.
  • @TillyOrifice
    "Ukraine is sliding into anarchy, the Gaza ceasefire is tenuous..." Oh, this is old.
  • And this is why Professor/Physicist Brian Cox has made the comment that people's biggest fear should not be war, but stupidity. Great show John!!!!!!
  • @KiwiBeeArt
    I know John wont see this but id love to hear his thoughts on how the topics he covered 10 years ago are still relevant. I know its not just me but its incredibly discouraging that it feel like nothing changes, that it feels like a miracle that his show exists at all with corporate consolidation and silencing of journalists, it feels like no matter how much I may want change, in another 20 years Columbia will be silencing another humanitarian protest :c
  • The one welcome throws me off now 😅 I keep expecting three welcomes 😂 Edit: I really appreciate you guys deciding to make your old episodes free and available on youtube! 💕🎉
  • If that gecko story wasn't on John Oliver I wouldn't believe it🤣
  • @Ethan_Coble
    Interesting to see how a decade ago, both Gaza and Ukrain are headline news at the same time... Wild.

    using obsolete tech like big floppies is actually a security feature now... nobody can hack them without being physically on site.
