dude i swear. it's tradition for me to play rome total war while watching the hbo show Rome every year. It's such a vibe.

In another world Shane is a dope history teacher.

The “third guy” was Crassus, who was insanely wealthy and tried to conquer Persia. He died, may or may not have had gold poured down his throat by the Persians

Shane with the rome 2 total war knowledge. ❤

I can listen to these all day for anytime in history. I would seriously pay for a podcast like this

Baseball titan and nightmare dad Ted Williams fought in WWII (fighter pilot) and got called back during a record-setting season to fly combat in the Korean War (against fucking Migs).

Always happy to see this.

"Rubicon" is a fantastic book.

Matt has found his love for history with rome

1:02:00 😂 Matt is so good at this.

We all came for Shane, but stayed for Matt. Keep up the good work big dawg

'Woah to the vanquished' :D

It was the Sabine tribe that were invited for a chariot race/festival.

I named my firstborn son Julius Octavian. First after Julius Caesar, then after Octavian, who later changed his name to Augustus, the first Roman Emperor.

It's definitely a coincidence, but he really likes learning languages. Notably ancient languages as of late. He can recite the ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Coptic alphabets, and can read them fairly well. He has autism and is eerily smart. He's going to do great things someday, like those he's named after.

This but Napoleon would be sweet

Crassus didn't kill all of those slaves and backed Sulla for nothing he was so rich he fully armed and equipped his own legions he also decimated his own legions too.

Is this the patreon conversations?

Why does matt sound like he's reading an ai generated script? That's brutal takes so much of the spice out
