Can you guys do a video on British horror movie icon Peter Cushing?

[@chrislittle2366]

Thank you Eric and another solid script radu

[@skyden24195]

C'mon now, it's widely known that Butch and Sundance came busting out of the Bolivia house, guns a' blazin', the infamous duo making one last desperate attempt to shoot their way out of trouble. I'm sure this is how it happened because that's how it went down in the 1969 film ("Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid") starring Paul Newman as "Butch" and Robert Redford as "Sundance." And you know Hollywood never gets it wrong or exaggerates historical events. 😏😉😄

[@kiasax2]

Too funny! 😂😂 Being a Cherokee, I am always astounded how many times people have the idea that Hollyweird presents actual "history " in films. You know, like The Outlaw Josey Wales really happened ! Well done!

[@jabadoo5307]

I live in Fort Worth. I’ve seen replicas of the photo you mention while in Fort Worth. Even have a dozen or so city blocks named the Sundance Square. I always thought he had more history with Fort Worth. Thanks for the video

[@oneminuteofmyday]

Our first dog when I was a kid was named Sundance. He came with the name as a six-month old puppy when my father got him from a coworker. The coworker’s kids had named him that after seeing _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_ in the theater. We called him Sunny.

[@late_bloomer_1973]

I just discovered that Harvey Logan is a relative of mine. Kind of cool to have an outlaw in the family.

"Botch Casually And The Somedunce Kid" (parody title courtesy of MAD Magazine, issue # 136, July, 1970) 😂

[@oneminuteofmyday]

I was reading your comment and thinking “auto-correct was not kind to this person” until my brain saw Mad Magazine below Somedunce. lol

[@Silverhornet81]

I miss the classic Mad Magazine.

[@kiasax2]

I bought that issue!

[@ianblake815]

This is so funny, I was just reading about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid this morning

[@chrislittle2366]

Kit Carson and kid curry would be awesome as well

[@laurieleiker1008]

Thanks for pronouncing Belle Fouche correctly. Most don't get it right. Great video!

[@shanerasmussen5225]

I'm from South Dakota, my grandparents are buried in Belle Fouche, I doubt he pronouced it correctly.

[@valmid5069]

His nickname sounds like an ice cream name

[@twitchnapier7462]

I’ve been gone for too long, I saw a Biographics with Simon and was shook.

[@cjpietropinto9293]

I miss simon

[@ElizabethMontgomery-u9o]

He’s my like great great grandfather on my moms dads side I’m a blood relative it’s sooo cool

[@sandyhawkins9279]

I think they escaped and lived quietly

[@wccross4147]

According to his sister, Butch did indeed survive and return to Utah and live out his remaining years. DNA of the remains presumed to be the famous duo were determined to not be them. People are left to believe what they choose to believe

[@JackHankeAnd]

Is this the last famous Wild West outlaw/lawman? Every time I think the channel has hit them all, I remember that there's one more when the next video for the period comes out.

[@shanerasmussen5225]

Nope, not even remotely. This channel, under any host, has barely scratched the surface. Just for example, no Crazy Horse, no Sitting Bull, nothing about Nat Love, or the real life Cherokee Kid (bet ya didn't know that Sinbad movie was based on a real person, who ran with Nat Love). Yep, lots and lots to improve here, and frankly their research standards are slipping from where they were with Simon, literally a month ago in a biographics on Martin Luther they claimed the story he "nailed his dissertation to the door of the church" was actual fact. Problem is over on a channel he is still working, 2 days earlier, Simon had very clearly laid out the facts that said story was utter bullshite. Luther never did it, and even if he had, at that time period the church door was the town bulletin board and everyone nailed things to it.

[@Platypus-Dreams]

I'm curious how it was so easy for authorities to find people back then. A simple sketch seems insufficient

[@Gollvieg]

The telegraph had a function that most ppl do not know it had. It can send a fax of photos taken of the wanted men. In fact, the fax machine was invented in the mid 1800s for this purpose.

[@jeremylugo5206]

@@Gollvieghonestly did not know it did that, i learned something new today. the telegraph was ahead of its time, to an extent, then what i previously thought

[@kasahadragon9499]

​@@Gollviegmy apologies I had to google to check. Yep it was invented in 1848 and entered commercial use in 1860. The more you know, thank you 💜

[@bambambigelowlove5307]

Whatever happened to Simon?

[@Mo10tov]

Busy and living his life

[@BeeMcDee]

He left ages ago. A year or more.

[@charlielauffer7644]

I much prefer Simons bald head as opposed to WTF?

[@efraim3364]

my half sister is a direct descendant of him

NEXT: VASCO DA GAMA

[@aymarafan7669]

If haven’t done it yet please do a video on Bat-Sheeva Ofra Haza!

[@QandyQrash]

Hello. Can you please make a biographic video on Gabriel García Marquez?

[@parrotantics2046]

Would like you to tell the story of Emil Hacha - the president of Czechoslovakia before German invasion in spring 1939.

[@chrislittle2366]

Tall texan next please

[@BillTourtillott-gv1oj]

Didnt like u at first eric cause you went simon ...but honestly your starting to grow on me .plus you seem to do alot of wild west stuff .wich i love

[@cjpietropinto9293]

Wheres simon? Thought this was his channel?

[@w0lfr0gue53]

Bro looks at a donkey in Bolivia and goes “Hey, I know that mule!”

[@CoryAnthony-vy4fl]

I know for a face that SD kid made it back to the US. Cassidy was killed in Bolivia. Idk who the other man with him was. Im not saying how. But i had a family member who knew SD kid. He kept a journal. And evidently SD kid lived another 23 years in the US after Cassidy was killed. I still have the journal. I dont like opening it bc the pages tear easy and it wasnt really taken care of before it was given to me.

[@chrislittle2366]

Black jack ketchum to and maybe some more native American leaders crazy horse black hawk chief Joseph Sequoyah if anyone else has any ideas would love to hear them

[@chrislittle2366]

Also would love to see one on Tecumseh and his rival commander for the US during Tecumsehs war William Henry Harrison and also another native American leader and Tecumsehs brother tenskawatawa aka the prophet

[@robertb.7772]

Hey, what happened to the other guy? The bald one with the glasses? (Yeah, I haven't been here for a while)

[@Dragonfly0987]

You're not a Madman anymore?

[@justinlizamor1541]

This is hard to listen to. You can try to replicate the cadence, but the voice isn't as soothing to listen to. I hope Simon is doing good things. He will be missed.

[@reneedailey1696]

He doesn't sound like he's copying Simon at all.

[@kasahadragon9499]

Guess you haven't watched for a long time. Simon gave up this and a couple of other channels well over a year ago. In the last six or so months he has started his own versions of the ones he gave up. Not sure how you think Eric is copying Simon when their accents and mannerism of speaking are from two different countries, America and England.
