I don't drink alcohol, but every time I hear "brilliant!" I think I should take a shot. :D

So Trump is hardly a novelty nor the short span of collective memory

14:48 what was this phrase?

...From an English historian in South Australia, keep up the great work! This is truly fascinating,. But here is some more fruitful news. Soon after the new state of South Australia was established in 1836 and Capt Mathew Flinders went around namimg Australian places, Flinders called the minor port to the south of Adelaide that connects to Kangaroo Island, Cape Jervis. It lies within the broader more spectacular Gulf St Vincent that frames the western side of South Australia. So we lucky people have permanent place names celebrating this rich English naval history.

A very interesting podcast with an even more interesting twist at the end the where Tom doesn't quite say he believes in the resurrection but implies its the best explanation we have of the disciples behaviour. My reference to Occam's Razor would produce a different result. Ill stick with Bart Ehrman and say the bigger and more outrageous the claim, the more evidence you need to support it. Still, worth a listen

One Saint who took on the Loch Ness Monster was Simon Templar in Season 5 Episode 6. Spoiler Alert: The villain perishes in mysterious circumstances and may very well have been victim of Nessie 😲😳🤯

Biden is the new Johnson the only difference is Obama didn't die and trump came back as a former president rather then a former vice president like Nixon

Dominic does a fine Churchill voice.

Bismarck wrote the 1871 German constitution. The constitution made Wilhelm I, Prussia’s king, the Kaiser of Germany. The Kaiser determined foreign policy, approved legislation, and was the supreme commander of the military. Ferguson shows that the British government did not feel bound by the 1839 treaty to protect Belgium's neutrality. British lawyers had reviewed the treaty in 1905. However, Belgium became a convenient pretext later on. Grey and Asquith were useless. Grey wouldn't travel abroad and had no relationship with the Germans in Berlin. He only spoke to the German ambassador in London who was out of the loop in Berlin.

Alegra should have been named Viagra

Alright alright your my favorite podcast it's true 😊

Tom, The Democrat Party is still the party of racism. From the Dixie days through to the ugly Progressive, Eugenicist racism of W. Wilson and the Ivy League North East crowd and more, Democrats have, notably in their urban fiefdoms, kept Americans of African heritage on a new kind of plantation. You will have noticed how the left has mercilessly used Blacks (and all suitable "groups”) as disposable political pawns. On a related topic, consider the arrogant, misconceived, virtue-whoring Great Society programs that so exemplify the Left's desperate and appalling, sweeping and grasping, utopian overreach. Mouthful. Well did they repeal or reform or otherwise ameliorate the list damages? Pernicious job-optional welfare policies, inner city Schools of Low Expectations, entrepreneurial desertification, poor food quality and distribution, shocking housing and urban planning, the perpetual "Planned Parenthood" abortion giveaway scheme, incentive structures encouraging the fracturing and destruction of the family and so on. I helped to statistically assess the Head Start program a generation after the fact. Benefits? Zero. Did they axe that money-sucking sonofabitch when early on it was known to be failure? NO! The "progressive" Left always doubles down on failure. More fucking failure please! "We are the know-it-all, ideologically possessed professorial egg-heads with a sterling retinue of techno-experts, politicians and other useful idiots - and we think you need more cowbell. Or alternatively, more cowbell." No Tom, the Democrats it seems, are just fine with stoking racism and denying it till the cows come home. They’ve adopted with a soulful embrace, all of the heartbreakingly retrograde nonsense, the ceaseless spawn of their powerful radical wing. Americans had moved on many years ago. We'd moved well past our exhaustively articulated cultural backwaters. We wanna go back to the future - the promised land? Conservatives are A-Okay with that and so are the myriad, and truly diverse, Trumpublicans (just made that up - good I think). But how to begin? Gee, this was supposed to be a two sentence comment. I will get myself onto the “Egg n’ Bacon - and in the bracing wind, deem myself increased.

Hms excellent training

It is obvious that these two fellows are completely oblivious and ignorant of the very foundation of the Protestant Reformation which is Justification by Faith Alone or Sola Fide. It has nothing to do with Luther's subjective emotional state in regards to God's love for him. It has nothing to do with some superficial, abstract, self-centered narcissism of Martin Luther. Neither one of these guys understands the Truth of Regeneration by the Spirit of God. Neither Justification nor Regeneration are about Luther but rather both Justification and Regeneration are the exclusive work of God by his Spirit Alone. This is not about a man and his love affair with God. That is absolutely abhorrent. The Protestant Reformation was not the work of a man due to his personality, charisma and celebrity but rather this Reformation was due to the powerful work of a Sovereign, Omnipotent God through his Son by the Holy Spirit. The Protestant Reformation was all about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the sufficiency of that Truth over against the Lie and corruption of man. The summary of the Protestant Reformation is very precise in regard to the Salvation of the sinner which is: Sola Gratia Sola Fide Solus Christus Sola Scriptura Soli Deo Gloria.

Why does the video play in French wtf

New member! Better than anything cable has to offer!

Thank you to you both for your engaging and enlightening videos.

Second best National Anthem.

I don’t know how I found this channel but I’m so glad I did! I love this channel. Please keep having these conversations! Perhaps something on the “Dark Ages”?

You can. At that time only honey applied to the wound was a powerful enough antiseptic to prevent infection, but few doctors made the connection. A honey pultice saved Henry V from a nasty arrow wound.

Enjoyable episode as always, but I can't help pointing out Nelson certainly wasn't an expert at fighting scurvy. Sure, he acquired limes but did among other things that did not work. Other captains did this as well of course. And while limes do something, they were largely chosen over more effective lemons because they were cheaper. Other things work even better but we can't really expect that to have been common knowledge at the time

12:00 the difference between a head of state and a head of government, in both the US and France.

Boadicea you Roman slaves she scared the 💩💩💩out of the Romans she was a red haired Pictish Queen there was no Britons only pagan slaves conquered by Rome she wore pelts of hares round her waist while you clowns were eating cow manure for breakfast and din dins, you were humped by the vikings for centuries with this "Arthur Of The Britons" diarrhoea your talking twat wafflers, kid on PhD in b.s trying to talk Bamber Gascoigne on helium ffs

Microhistorian bullshit, but good collection of sources👍

Bounder, rotter, cad.....are there Wiki definitions and rankings for these terms? 😁

Far outweighs any light weight inaccurate globalist propaganda spewed by the BBC et al 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

"Brave dies once a coward dies a thousand times" is Shapespeare from Julius Ceaser

Tom's ecstacy whilst reading about slaughter is quite terrible.

Is there a third part on this? Would be interesting to hear about wilsons government

Bring the roadshow to Palmerston Ontario Canada!

Ironic that Dom says that George Lucus obviously wasn't reading the Roman historian Sallust - when George in fact virtually uses the name in the dialogue of RotJ: "What of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing near Sullust?"

Errrm…is this a repeat? I’m absolutely certain that I’ve heard a slew of podcasts from these guys on Nelson a few months ago? On the other hand I’m 53 and can never find my glasses so there is that 🤷‍♂️

I'm sorry but the admiral who supported his initiative of individual Captain's to understand the objective of the fleet. I have walked out to the edge of Cape St. Vincent to see how it influenced the naval warfare of the British empire! The very southwest tip of european mainland. The one place you know all ships exiting the Mediterranean have to pass to go north

They did conquer and left the north, like everyone. Great country too look at but a nightmare to live in. If it isn't raining it's about to and there is nothing there.

01:14:06 "Edwardian" England? Surely, the Edwardian era had ended over four years previously on the death of King Edward VII?

The Two Ronnies of history podcasts❤ Very informative and entertaining

Welcome to Chicago, Democrats 😅

Ref that opening reading from Dominic's book about Nelson. It sounded very Churchillian to me and I thought it was from Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples.

Another English rebellion against their French masters ...

All a background to the legend of Horatio Hornblower.

When Tom took us through the physical characteristics of this specimen I assumed he was describing the prototype for a Daily Mail journalist. Daily Telegraph writers would be similar - just taller with a bit more overbite.

As a patriotic listener, I have to say, I love your podcasts. I often find history incredible, but on occasions, you manage to make it hilarious. Very good Churchill vibes as well!

Fantastic stuff fellas.

I love listening to "The Rest are Ripping Yarns" brilliant :)

nice spinal tap reference, bro

Two privately educated schoolboys with jobs as historians make fun of patronage and nepotism without even realising the irony ;) tee-hee. And Tom, you missed the chance to use a Norfolk accent when you had it ... a beautiful accent I miss (a Yorkshireman writes) on the subject of pronunciation, isn't THAT Nevis pronounced Neevis? plenty of folk from there to ask, in Leeds I believe.

The French revolution series was excellent stuff and funny. Well done chaps.

Je ne sais quoi

Farewell and adieu to you history fellas Farewell and adieu to memory lane For I've received orders to cook in the kitchen But I hope in a short while to see you again.

Bangers and mash. Excellent episodes. Top form
