This may sound like a backhanded compliment, because it is. But you're the most tolerable American doing this kind of content. You have a voice for radio!

⁠@@YDdraigGoch43I don’t think the og comment was calling him bad looking, the backhanded complement was the “tolerable american” bit, the bit about his voice was a different sentence so I think he was just saying how his voice is nice to listen to

Wow, thank you! They’re probably my favorite ❤️

If you're this grossed out by cholera, then you don't want to know how the Thames River was back then.

I've said it before, but I rally love the way you not only waych the vids and comment... but you take time to look stuff up - educating all of us in the process. Keep it up.

I do think its sometimes a shame 9f he looks something up right before the video gives sources tho. Maybe would be better to take notes on things to Google at the end?

For many hundreds of years , It was very common for people to drink ale or beer instead of water, as they knew drinking water would make them ill.

You know something, John Snow.

And just 8 years later, my great-grandmother was born directly across the street from that pump.

You do have a lovely voice, and a great sense of humour. 👍

I have just subbed, .loved your reaction to this, i laughed out loud at you trying not to laugh out loud.

You know your way around a world map. Are you sure you're an american? Edit. I'm joking BTW. My granddad was a yank. An incredibly smart one at that. Just having a lil larf

Great fun - listening/watching your reactions to the Map Men - so entertaining

Hi from England. Related to the video you should react to the great stink, which is about how London constructed a sewer network to clean up the river Thames and to prevent disease.

Thanks JJ! And thank you JS!

There is actually a lot more to this story! He had gathered evidence from Sunderland (where cholera started in the UK), he had evidence from an outbreak in a truly disgusting home for pauper children and in south London. If you want to know more about his fascinating life I suggest getting a book "The Medical Detective" by Sandra Hempel which includes his other major contribution to modern medicine in anaesthesia, including providing anaesthesia to Queen Victoria twice.

Another great one - and love your commentary as ever. Three days may not sound much- but the affected area John Snow was canvassing was quite small ( and I'm sure he had a horse or begged a llift on a cart to get to the outlying case 4 miles away

What great work from the Map Men.

You'd do some amazing ASMR with that voice ❤

If you did a series of Audio books, I would definitely listen to them. Your voice is so soothing ❤

A couple points here, with his analysis of the local population, John Snow is unofficially credited with inventing the Science of *Statistics* . The reason the brewery workers did not succumb to cholera is that they preferred drinking ale, and you make ale by Boiling water in the first place. (That was how the British Empire grew so well too, to make Tea you have to boil water.) 😅😅😅😅

I actually recoiled when he bit that apple 😂

When I was growing up in Kenya I had to get cholera jabs every time there was a breakup, the only way to not get it is to boil and filter the water before drinking it, also to wash dishes. Great video thanks.

The John Snow pub is fantastic

Was that “Baby Doody”? 💩 As a Doody I approve 😂

I think the pump is a replica, but I used to pass by the place a lot when cutting across Soho.

React to the London Borough ones ,very interesting

I rather like Mapmen myself...except for one thing...that daft little sign-on song!🤣🤣 It doesnt just tunnel down through the ear. It gets right into the brain. Each time I hear it, it takes about 4 days to wear off.☺ As I write this it is, in fact, going round on a loop.Twice I've sung it aloud and scared the Very Small Dog who snores on my lap.

Check out "The Raising of Chicago" otherwise known as "How Chicago Got Screwed Up" 19th century style

Can I recommend you watch "History of World War 1 in one take" by History Bombs. It would be interesting to get your insight!

I understand your reaction to the line that Snow frequently tested anaesthetics on himself, accepting it as a selfless sacrifice. Sadly, I'm more cynical and have known medical and dental students, so I wonder if there's an element of this tee-total man with a serious nature and stressful job having to just get high from time to time in order to cope (no criticism intended).

Could you react to some of the Remembrance Day parades around the uk or maybe the Tower of London poppies since it was Remembrance Day a couple days ago

The srcond largest empire was the Mongolian one.

His name is Snow so it's unsurprising that he was interested in water

Your voice sounds so familiar! And soothing ❤ Wait a minute- are you the Daily Dose of Internet guy??

Are you aware that Jay from Map Men has a famous brother? You'd probably be very surprised by some of what he does....His name is Beardyman.

that's not Cuba!!

Should not have watched this during my lunch break XF

Made me laugh when you went "Yuk" at pooey water. Could be worse, you could eat Hershey's chocolate which has Butyric acid in it which is found largely in baby vomit.

I mean... they don't extract it from vomit. They just add it to save money which gives the vomit taste. Drinking diluted nappy juices is definitely worse, and I'm English!

@@qwertyTRiG yes, it's because Hershey was trying to find a way to make his supply of milk last longer and found that adding butyric acid to the milk gave it a longer shelf life meaning he could mass produce chocolate. Americans became so accustomed to the taste that they left it in. Butyric acid is found predominantly in baby vomit. Mmmmm, yummy

Without John Snow, life would be much more shittier nowadays.
