The Day Santa Claus Died | 341AD-350AD
Saint Nicholas of Myra is the main, real life individual upon which the figure of Santa Claus is based - who dies in 343AD. But who was he? What made Nicholas so special that we live with his legacy to this day within the fictional character of Santa Claus? Did he even exist? The real life Nicholas knew the beaches of the Eastern Mediterranean far better than the North Pole. He is credited with what we might call modern miracles, and was second to none when it came to his beard. We look to find the actual saint from the popular fictional character, and find the man in the saint.
We are also faced with the death of Emperor Constantine, and his awful three sons from his second wife. The late emperor's sons first have the empire carved up among themselves. Then later see to it to knock off the others, and take the position of sole emperor of Rome. We learn more...

As I have a reason to be a Name Explain fan, I can explain the meaning of the Name Nicolas. Nike means viktory in ancient-greek and Laos means people. Therefore it could mean "Winner with the people" or "Winning over the people".
To me the thing about your beard, Paul was with the founding fathers video. Your avatar looked like it/you only had stubbles.
Constantine actually means "The constant", stalwart" or "unyielding" Interesting irony that the first one unites the empire and the other three destabilise it.
Santa Claus was real. Constantine could confirm.
This is like the thing of history
To be honest Paul... I don't remember you having a beard either 😅
45:45 It should be rule 69....
Did you really not intentionally do an episode about St. Nick on his feast day?

Amazingly it was a 100%, actual coincidence. In fact the day that segment was shot wasn’t originally scheduled. We had to reshoot that segment for technical reasons. So when Patrick came across that nugget on the fly and put it all together, the surprise was genuine.
