Note on strong alcohol: Do not ever, under any circumstance, drink Methanol. I meant to say pure ethanol but misspoke because I'm a dummy who does not drink strong alcohol and does not know the difference. General life advice is always know what's in your drink, whether at a social situation, at a bar, or making something for yourself at home. Always know what's in your drink. -B

So funny trivia for Blue's point: Methanol causes blindness and will send you to whatever underworld plot you will be in very soon. Funnier thing is that a sorta antidote to Methanol is ETHANOL (ethanol also known as substance in every alcohol drink ever. Basic example: google what vodka is). Medical university is fun and hell.

I've seen you in another comment section, and I only remember because of your username

There are three Tom Hollands. Spider-man, the 80s/90s horror movie director, and the historian. And you have no idea as an MCU fan, a horror movie fan whose first theatrical film as a child was Fright Night, and an amateur historian how often I have to just stop in my tracks mentally and go "Okay, which one does this social media post make more sense if it's about?" Because otherwise, even for a split second, my brain is going "Why does this say it's a video of the director of Child's Play dressing in drag lip syncing to Rihanna? Did they mean the writer of Child's Play because I can see Don Mancini doing that..." or "I guess he must've really gotten into the role of Nathan Drake if everyone's recommending his translation of Herodotus..." Edit for clarification: There are three famous Tom Hollands (at least that I am aware of). Tom Holland (b 1943) is an American screenwriter and film director best known for the films Fright Night, Child's Play, and Psycho II. Tom Holland (b 1968) is an English historian and novelist best known for his books on Medieval and Classical era history. He's published books on Roman Emperors, Anglo-Saxon royalty, the Greco-Persian Wars, and a translation of The Histories by Herodotus. Tom Holland (b 1996) is an English actor famous for his role as Spider-man in the MCU and also starred as Nathan Drake in the film adaptation of Uncharted. And it doesn't help that if you look at the Wikipedia pictures of the three of them, it looks like the same damn person at 25, 50, and 75.

Ah bribery turning into a passion… truly Jacq is a legend

My Dad was a history teacher who specialized in American History. Had you had him as a teacher, you would have loved American History. He got me interested by telling stories about the Founding Fathers that made me laugh. Benjamin Franklin's early years as a delinquent in London, How sleeping with the French King's mistress helped us win the Revolutionary War, etc., etc. The story of America is opportunism, sheer gall, and obstinacy. It's a tale of two Americas, one that saw industry and capitalism as a goal and one that saw conquest, subjugation, and capitalism as a goal. XD

This has been the greatest crossover since the Jetsons met the Flintstones!

This is a crossover I didn't expect, but definitely appreciate.

My mom is an amazing storyteller, she makes the most mundane things sound interesting. Once she was walking with me and my sister's to a friends house, it was a significant walk even for adults and we would have driven if it hadn't been Shabbat, and on the way there she told us the Iliad and on the way back she told us the Odyssy. It was amazing and the walks went by in a flash. You never know what will ignite passion into kids.

If you'd asked me who I expected to see as guest when I clicked on this vid, I wouldn't have guessed Jacques in a million years. Yet another case of "all the content creators I follow seem to know each other." 💜

Regarding the studying and songs, I kept trying to fit "Nations of the World" from Animaniacs into my Geography lesson plans.

The "guests attempting Red's outro" NEEDS to continue and be a recurring bit.

Whether he is drunk or sober, our dearest Blue will always be our magnificent history nerd. Don't ever change, Blue!

@~40:33min: Several soil tests confirmed an abnormally high level of mercury around the tomb mound. Ground penetrating radar also seems to confirm the shape of the tomb, as described by historical accounts, according to current Chinese leadership. So take all that with a grain of salt.😊 ❤️✌️

Oh my god, I knew I recognized Jacques voice from somewhere. I can't believe it took me till now to realize it was the voice I heard on WBUR every day when I was living in Boston.

part of the reason they haven't excavated the tomb of the first emperor is the mound it is under? has dangerously high concentration of toxic mercury. which combined with the difficulty of excavating it without damaging the tomb complex (which looks to have partially collapsed, based on geophysical surveys of the hill) is why they haven't done digs there yet. so yeah, all indications point to the "giant map of china with mercury rivers, lakes, and sea" being a real feature.

Blue's story about drunkenly explaining the Punic wars to Cyan reminds me that... Yea, she might have thought he was crazy, but Passion about a subject like that can be hot af.

Gladiator 2: "Somehow, Commodus returned"

Re: Vatican City's size According to The Wiki it's 0.49 km^2 or whatever that is in square eagles. One source describes the place as "comfortably circumnavigable by foot in about forty-five minutes" and "thanks to its tiny size, home to two popes per square kilometre."

I heard a story about Hannibal bringing his elephants over the alps, and maybe one of you can confirm it for me. The story I heard states that Hannibal used a big bonfire and chilled wine to bore a hole through a mountain pass that would allow the elephants to pass through. The method was to heat the limestone to glowing hot with the fire and then pour the chilled wine over the heated stone. The temperature difference would crack the stone and the vinegar in the (mulled? malt?) wine broke down the limestone like acid. Can anyone confirm this story? I don't remember the source, and I've looked for it occasionally, but it was so interesting that I remember it. I'd really like to know if it's true, even if it definitely isn't.

If you want to have some great renaissance clothes to gawk at I can recommend portraits of the Swedish king Gustav Wasa. He's maximized the 'im a square' look with tiny little chicken legs poking out the bottom

What's good

I somehow never put "the nazis were in italy and generally looted the place after a point" together with "Rome is in italy". "The Nazis sacked Rome" is not something I was prepared for.

So, i was really thrown off when I saw this one’s thumbnail art because due to the stylization and the sort of unclear whip, Jacques appeared to be the character “Johnny Thunder” from the short lived but iconic LEGO theme “adventurers”, now it’s not a perfect resemblance and I could usually pass it off as just a coincidence(which it is) but than I noticed that blue appears to be building the LEGO Taj Mahal, something that would perfectly fit a video with references to the LEGO Adventurers theme,and that had me convinced this was somehow a LEGO adventurers special for a good ten seconds into the pod.
