I love that Shane is so into history, that he is just as interested in this as we are. Plus, Matt is honestly killing this retelling of the rise of Caesar.
Also, Matt is almost correct about the end of Crassus. Crassus' SON gets beheaded in front of him and the whole army, Crassus himself is taken to whatever the Parthian capital was and had *molten gold poured down his throat*.
Shane likes to bring up Teutoborg Forest as like a "ha yeah got them Romans, didn't those Germanics? Got 'em good in Teutoborg" but like, that story ends with those same Germans getting slaughtered to avenge the legions they defeated.
I hate when Matt leads the history episodes. He just shotgun blasts you with a ton of information he got from Wikipedia. Like that’s the full extent of his research lol, the first Google search result
While I genuinely thought the Rome history was entertaining, and I watched Glee when I was a kid, I'm failing to understand these 2 concepts having a connection
