Note on strong alcohol: Do not ever, under any circumstance, drink Methanol.
I meant to say pure ethanol but misspoke because I'm a dummy who does not drink strong alcohol and does not know the difference.
General life advice is always know what's in your drink, whether at a social situation, at a bar, or making something for yourself at home. Always know what's in your drink.
-B
There go my evening plans
😠
I’m crying
So funny trivia for Blue's point: Methanol causes blindness and will send you to whatever underworld plot you will be in very soon. Funnier thing is that a sorta antidote to Methanol is ETHANOL (ethanol also known as substance in every alcohol drink ever. Basic example: google what vodka is). Medical university is fun and hell.
I'm personally a fan of Methyl Ethyl Ketone, best drink, burns invisible.
When you mentioned that, I was like, "Isn't that the bad stuff in cigarettes that they had to ban?"
AUGH MY OUTRO -R
Oh her hubris!
🙃🙃🙃
Ouch, right in the pride
You gotta admit, he got you.
this is literally, "how often do guys think about the roman empire: the halloween special"
I get that reference!
Historians and general history nerds get a pass.
@@Veelofarit's remnants are present everywhere you look though. When your language, government, symbols, mythology, political system, architecture, money, philosophy, etc. all take influence from the empire are you just supposed to be blind about it?
@@Veelofarthan gets everyone a pass because the people that think once a week about the roman empire also also history nerds xD
@@mistereiswolf70 there’s history nerds and there’s imperialism enthusiasts. The imperialist people aren’t exclusively focused on the past in this aspect
I love the running gag that any episode that doesn't have Red _and_ Blue is an "Oops All _______" episode
as someone who loves "Oops! All _____" jokes, same
Now all we need is an episode where Indigo is out of commission for what ever reason, and Cyan is on instead to make it an ooops all ace’s special
@@VictoriaStarratt that would be a great theme for a Pride Month OSPodcast. get the three of them together and just spend an hour talking about their ace experiences, how they figured out they were asexual, etc.
Im still waiting on the doesnt have Red *or* Blue "Oops all Cleo" episode.
@@nimnimn6930 That's just the Cleo Cameo video.
I must see Blue Drunk History lecturing now.
'The roman empire are the jocks of history' - right down to copying all the nerds' homework
That is such an excellent metaphor you freaking genius
Today on “People I didn’t know were Friends but now am very Glad to Know they Are!”
Super jealous of blue's story meeting his wife. When I tell history stories, I just get stared at....
That is why he does this for a living now 😁
I'd be very curious to hear Cyan's perspective on this because Blue is way too self-deprecating to make himself seem charming in that story xD
Also she broke his sword the first time they actually met
@@VictoriaStarrattwhat does “broke his sword” mean
@@justthememelordsnextdoor9120 they were fencing and she did some sort of parry, and his sword disassembled in his hand
20:16 She didn't have to love the history. But she did love the passion.
I saw Jacques in person at a Renfaire this summer. An unexpected crossover, but a welcome one.
This is the second time he is on the Podcast. He was a proper guest last year I think
There are three Tom Hollands. Spider-man, the 80s/90s horror movie director, and the historian. And you have no idea as an MCU fan, a horror movie fan whose first theatrical film as a child was Fright Night, and an amateur historian how often I have to just stop in my tracks mentally and go "Okay, which one does this social media post make more sense if it's about?" Because otherwise, even for a split second, my brain is going "Why does this say it's a video of the director of Child's Play dressing in drag lip syncing to Rihanna? Did they mean the writer of Child's Play because I can see Don Mancini doing that..." or "I guess he must've really gotten into the role of Nathan Drake if everyone's recommending his translation of Herodotus..."
Edit for clarification: There are three famous Tom Hollands (at least that I am aware of).
Tom Holland (b 1943) is an American screenwriter and film director best known for the films Fright Night, Child's Play, and Psycho II.
Tom Holland (b 1968) is an English historian and novelist best known for his books on Medieval and Classical era history. He's published books on Roman Emperors, Anglo-Saxon royalty, the Greco-Persian Wars, and a translation of The Histories by Herodotus.
Tom Holland (b 1996) is an English actor famous for his role as Spider-man in the MCU and also starred as Nathan Drake in the film adaptation of Uncharted.
And it doesn't help that if you look at the Wikipedia pictures of the three of them, it looks like the same damn person at 25, 50, and 75.
This made me laugh so hard. I got the references and I loved it because I also get so confused sometimes. XD
I was so legitimately confused until I realized Child’s play was directed by a different Tom holland
Oh my this makes no sense I didn't know there was three different guys. I just kept thinking that I was misremembering names all the time
Dude, oh my god, that's why I kept thinking the actors name felt familiar
Seeing Jaque is the biggest surprise I’ve ever seen all day.
I've seen you in another comment section, and I only remember because of your username
This is a crossover I didn't expect, but definitely appreciate.
My Dad was a history teacher who specialized in American History. Had you had him as a teacher, you would have loved American History. He got me interested by telling stories about the Founding Fathers that made me laugh. Benjamin Franklin's early years as a delinquent in London, How sleeping with the French King's mistress helped us win the Revolutionary War, etc., etc. The story of America is opportunism, sheer gall, and obstinacy. It's a tale of two Americas, one that saw industry and capitalism as a goal and one that saw conquest, subjugation, and capitalism as a goal. XD
Ah bribery turning into a passion… truly Jacq is a legend
Regarding the studying and songs, I kept trying to fit "Nations of the World" from Animaniacs into my Geography lesson plans.
This has been the greatest crossover since the Jetsons met the Flintstones!
My mom is an amazing storyteller, she makes the most mundane things sound interesting.
Once she was walking with me and my sister's to a friends house, it was a significant walk even for adults and we would have driven if it hadn't been Shabbat, and on the way there she told us the Iliad and on the way back she told us the Odyssy. It was amazing and the walks went by in a flash. You never know what will ignite passion into kids.
If you'd asked me who I expected to see as guest when I clicked on this vid, I wouldn't have guessed Jacques in a million years. Yet another case of "all the content creators I follow seem to know each other." 💜
The "guests attempting Red's outro" NEEDS to continue and be a recurring bit.
Whether he is drunk or sober, our dearest Blue will always be our magnificent history nerd. Don't ever change, Blue!
@~40:33min: Several soil tests confirmed an abnormally high level of mercury around the tomb mound. Ground penetrating radar also seems to confirm the shape of the tomb, as described by historical accounts, according to current Chinese leadership. So take all that with a grain of salt.😊
❤️✌️
I am genuinely so upset that you made me look up if Nicolas Cage had the Declaration of Independence in his house
Did he?
@@evobrand1210 he did not
My man....
Ohhhhh I almost did it, but I read this comment as Blue was making that joke
Well, I wasn't expecting my favorite whippy guy to be hanging out with my favorite history guy, but here we are. Awesome.
"What are you going to do, sack Rome"?" -Quote from guy whose Rome was sacked
Amazing crossover!
On a similar note,
I’d love to see red and blue go to a ren fair as a vlog and point out historical facts
Congrats for Jacques on getting an animated character! Hope this means he'll be a recurring guest.
I love that Jack brought in his NPR experience at the end.
35:38 Does Blue refer to our collective brain as a vacuum, here?
I can not escape JacqueszeWhipper but what a fun surprise he was! Didnt expect him on this channel!
Love how blue casually plays with a dome.
WHIPPY SHOW!!!
This is a collab that I never expected, but I absolutely love!
Fun to see Jacques here! I literally see him every day because of UA-cam shorts, i absolutely love his performances. Took me awhile to notice his mustache was fake, sadly I'm not the brightest fish in the sea. But I'll still listen to you guys talking about literally anything for hours
Oh my god, I knew I recognized Jacques voice from somewhere. I can't believe it took me till now to realize it was the voice I heard on WBUR every day when I was living in Boston.
I cannot wait for the detail diatribe about the Napoleon movie🤩
I'd like to remind the internet that Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson exists
part of the reason they haven't excavated the tomb of the first emperor is the mound it is under? has dangerously high concentration of toxic mercury. which combined with the difficulty of excavating it without damaging the tomb complex (which looks to have partially collapsed, based on geophysical surveys of the hill) is why they haven't done digs there yet.
so yeah, all indications point to the "giant map of china with mercury rivers, lakes, and sea" being a real feature.
The drawing for this makes Blue look so small and Jack so big.
And it makes Indigo look like a child.
I love your conversations with Jacques!
30:46
WE NEED COOLIDGE!
...baby I'm not foolidge...
So... I just listened to this on Spotify, while trying to build my new Ikea cupboard and just wanted to say, great Episode!
...got to do my part on the whole Like and Comment stuff 😂
Blue's story about drunkenly explaining the Punic wars to Cyan reminds me that... Yea, she might have thought he was crazy, but Passion about a subject like that can be hot af.
The crossover I may not have been ready for but that I am more than overjoyed to see!
28:57 “Somehow Comidus returned.”
Underrated Empire: Tibeten Empire
On the topic of doomed last stands, Custer ignored his scouts saying "hey there are a metric fuck ton of Lakota here, if we fight, we're all gonna die" and then Custer is like the first guy to die. No heroic last stand, just encirclement and killed to the man
''he be coming around the mountain with war elephants..''
Watch out, Red. Jacques is gonna give you a run for your money
If you’re used to learning songs that really is a great way to learn something. When I’m unsure of some multiplication I still sing the songs I learned in second grade inside my head 😂
I knew I saw Jacques little mustache in the thumbnail!!! Nice to see (I guess hear) him on!
1:34 for those not part of the RWD discord server, Noir from Rolling With Difficulty and the OSP presents Shakespeare videos reveled he is this friend.
Re: Vatican City's size
According to The Wiki it's 0.49 km^2 or whatever that is in square eagles. One source describes the place as "comfortably circumnavigable by foot in about forty-five minutes" and "thanks to its tiny size, home to two popes per square kilometre."
I can’t believe thar for half a second I had to ask, “How many popes are there?”
How many podcasters does it take to change a light bulb?
One. But to fully understand why, we have to first travel back in time to the year 1880...
Gladiator 2: "Somehow, Commodus returned"
If you want to have some great renaissance clothes to gawk at I can recommend portraits of the Swedish king Gustav Wasa. He's maximized the 'im a square' look with tiny little chicken legs poking out the bottom
I heard a story about Hannibal bringing his elephants over the alps, and maybe one of you can confirm it for me.
The story I heard states that Hannibal used a big bonfire and chilled wine to bore a hole through a mountain pass that would allow the elephants to pass through. The method was to heat the limestone to glowing hot with the fire and then pour the chilled wine over the heated stone. The temperature difference would crack the stone and the vinegar in the (mulled? malt?) wine broke down the limestone like acid.
Can anyone confirm this story? I don't remember the source, and I've looked for it occasionally, but it was so interesting that I remember it. I'd really like to know if it's true, even if it definitely isn't.
Therin lies the true meaning of Love. Happy Sian, Lucky You.
"favorite event in world history"
that time Machiavelli and Da Vinci teamed up to steal Pisa's river
either that or the Tenochtitlan Trebuchet
Ernest Hemingway would make one hell of an interesting musical. Dude's life was WILD.
I saw the mustache and i instantly clicked
I'd love all the podcasts to be on UA-cam so I can watch them all here
That was 54 Minutes - god it just Flew - loved it
I liked seeing Jacque the Wipper with Blue. Also because they both could not wait to play the new Spider-Man game ✨
WAIT!! BLUE KNOWS JACQUE THE WHIPPER!!! WHAT THE EF?!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Jacques doing his radio voice.
I feel sorry for people who don’t enjoy history. Just takes someone to talk about history with!
Love your content guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I also work at a Renaissance festival (MN ). Huge fan of Jacque and Osp this video is just my type of niche.
I was both pleasantly surprised to see this and also not surprised at all
Also speaking as a "viking" performer at a Renaissance fair I totally feel the "out of date aspect" lol
Highlight of my day ❤
I'd love to see AC try to tackle the Civil War.
Let's see them tiptoe over that whole mess.
This is an unexpected crossover cool
Greetings to all of you who sees this comment.
No, greetings to you, good sir.
Greetings to all!
Greetings good sir
Fine tidings to thee, fellow wanderers
What's good
21:50
The elefants that Hanabal brought to Rome was African forest elefants who has been since 2021 been critical endangered
The red bull in a wine glass is my moms go to way of drinking it and once she's done she goes to be...the whole thing seems very enjoyable honestly
Genuinely went, "WHAT?" when you introduced Jacques. What a great guest!
As a person who became a history major mainly because of this channel, I’m very happy to see this.
When it comes to American history I think I don't like it cause I spent years leaening about the vast history of Europe and a bit on Russia, asia, Africa (mainly Egypt) and the middle east, all with vast and complex histories and then you get American history and it's genociding the natives, revolutionary war, civil war, cowboys and that's really it. In comparison to all the rest of the hostory I'd learnt about American history just wasn't anywhere near as interesting.
I am more interested in pre colonial American history, that is interesting.
I think part of it is alsp just not liking the whole American patriotism (I'm in Europe, patriotism just doesn't sit right with me, especially the level of it Americans have) and how that influences the history. The only reason I have learnt anything about American history post colonisation is only cause of debates with Christian nationalists who want to distort american history to try and turn a democratic country into a religious state. So I learnt that history as a way to challenge the incorrect claims made by them because I can't stand them.
As an American, I completely agree. When I took AP European History, it was very interesting with all the art, wars, innovation, societal changes, and a good, small amount of politics. For me, the class on U.S like it was just too much “These people wanted this.” “These people wanted that.” “This Law/Act/plan was passed.” I do liked how understanding European History gave me better context and understanding for a wide range of things that aren’t completely history related. It definitely toned down the average amount of patriotism/nationalism I had. I find it ridiculous how people believe that a country founded from secular ideals, a government that people feared would be anti-religion, should become a government that follows, as what Voltaire would say, a small mound.
The biggest problem with American history, I think, is that it's rather short. Because when the rest of the world did most of the interesting stuff, most of America was in what's defined as pre-history i.e. time without written records. And even the parts that do have written records from those periods don't change that, since nobody can read those records properly (correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they have been deciphered yet anywhere near as well as, say, Egyptian hieroglyphs).
I somehow never put "the nazis were in italy and generally looted the place after a point" together with "Rome is in italy".
"The Nazis sacked Rome" is not something I was prepared for.
I love Americans talking about renaissance fairs.. in the UK we don’t have that at all … we had those fairs in the renaissance now they are basically when the theme park comes to your local town..my local towns “fair” started in 1300 every year without fail! Now it’s basically just rides and candy floss, they all evolved into what they are now.
These two being friends was not on my 2023 bingo card but I am very happy its a thing
I did not know y'all were friends with JzW.
I love the Internet. I mean, I hate it too... It's... It's complicated, okay‽

11:38 That's rough buddy.
"Commodus is back!" is actually slightly less stupid than the actual script for Gladiator 2, where Marcus Aurelius ends up fighting in the Vietnam War
The fact Blue casually knows Jacques does not surprise me but it does make me a little confused about how small the Internet secretly is
I'd like to know what games Overly Sarcastic Productions would recommend for playing through history
So, i was really thrown off when I saw this one’s thumbnail art because due to the stylization and the sort of unclear whip, Jacques appeared to be the character “Johnny Thunder” from the short lived but iconic LEGO theme “adventurers”, now it’s not a perfect resemblance and I could usually pass it off as just a coincidence(which it is) but than I noticed that blue appears to be building the LEGO Taj Mahal, something that would perfectly fit a video with references to the LEGO Adventurers theme,and that had me convinced this was somehow a LEGO adventurers special for a good ten seconds into the pod.
28:08 * glances at Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, the edgy emo Andrew Jackson musical
I am so flabbergasted that Jacques and Blue know each other! 🤯
Blue took one look at Alcibiades in Odyssey and said I WANT THAT TWINK OBLITERATED
yeah this is why most history classes in grad school focus more on one top and different historiography and methodologies
Jackes is a warner brother, or cousin at least
Oh shoot The whip guy???
The podcast was great up until the end, where I felt like I needed to report it for gratuitous violence.
(Honestly, Red's been doing fine with the outros lately, come on. :D)
I DIDN'T KNOW JAQUES ZE WHIPPER KNEW YALL
HISTORY FUCK YEAH
