The sword in the stone thing is interesting actually, its a historical reference back to the bronze age, when you would cast tools and weapons in clay moulds that had to be broken apart to "draw the sword from the stone". By the time the stories of King Arthur were being written, the history of the bronze age had been forgotten and faded into myth and legend, including myths about swords trapped in stones, and those stories were incorporated into the King Arthur legend.
The greatest trick is misdirection. That is the ultimate lesson learned from having strict parents Trying to hide something as a kid? Stand by a far off semi-cluttered room that you know doesn’t have the thing in it because now they think your trying to guard whatever it is
There was an actual case where a man was caught at the scene of multiple murders but they couldn't convict him because they couldn't prove how he could have killed them. But when the man died they found out that he had a private compartment in his fake leg with a gun hidden in it.
There actually was a gay army in Ancient Greece called that sacred band of Thebes. It was made up entirely of gay couples. The people who put it together had the idea that everyone fights better when trying to impress or defend their spouse. AND THEY WERE RIGHT
Interesting. I imagine commanding that army must be stressful, because couples generally look out for their well-beings and safety, and I think they'd choose not to go into danger. Who'd have thought.
@@ngominh259 Yea but don't forget that they're not just lovers they were trained experienced badass soldiers, they would often be at the front of any engagement constantly trying to show off their martial prowess
"What nightclub let's you in with sweatpants" this is weird to hear as I'm in the UK where most nightclubs don't have dress codes, like fancy ones do but they are a minority, clubbing isn't usually a glamorous thing here. Well it may start that way but it'll end with you scoffing down junk food in a side alley whilst your friend throws up in the background at like 4am whilst unable to see stright.

Remember, decibels are a logarithmic scale like earthquake magnitude (I.e. an increase of 10 dB is equivalent to being 10 times louder), not a linear scale like most other quantities. So 102 dB is approx 1% as loud as 120 dB, which is a significant reduction in volume
30:00 I would pick a spear. It has bludgeoning potential, can stab, and also has reach. It also doesn't require a whole bunch of training to use with at least moderate effectiveness. Chopping a good spear in half is not very easy to do.
@@lordhighkage7105 it truly is the best weapon at its tier do bear in mind the fighting condition dont try to use any long weapons in tight building or cave
I can relate to the getting grounded from reading thing, lol. When I was younger, my parents had to move my bookshelf from my room into a completely different building, because I wouldn’t stop staying up all night reading.

@@andrewwebb3248 On the rare occasion I got in trouble and was sent to the office in elementary school, I'd just slink in unknowingly to the receptionist(?), sit on the floor right in front of the desk where she couldn't see, and read the books on the shelf on the wall next to me.

31:41 - The Roman's used a type of javelin called a pilum, and it was an extremely effective weapon. The diffrence between the two is that the pulim had a feature that, when hitting a target, allowed it to break on impact. If it hit correctly into an enemies shield, it would take some time to dig it out (which might be fine to do, if you weren't in the middle of a battle). Even if it missed, it wouldn't be usable to the enemy, it'd just be a useless broken stick. A sword *can* be used to bludgeon someone, believe it or not. Its called "half-swording" - and if I remember right, Skallagrim made a video on it, if you want to look it up. Chavezz might want to use a war-hammer - they were used bash a shield or helm; or to pierce armor and (with enough force applied) easily kill an armored knight. However, in medieval times, this wasn't something that you'd *want* to do. Knights were valuable, and could be ransomed for a stupid amount of cash - and god-forbid if you're a peasant who just killed a knight. A peasant would carry a dagger - and if you want a few giggles - look up what a bollock dagger is. Hope you two have a good day/evening!
Is that why King Robert from Game of Thrones used a mace? 'Cuz he was _literally_ a take-no-prisoners kind of guy? Also, yeah, mace. Heavy, instinctive to use, short reach but _devastating._
My parents grounded me from reading once too when I was ten. Mostly because they didn't know how else to ground me. Three days later my mom saw me intensely reading cereal boxes at breakfast and just gave up and ungrounded me on the spot. Also, what's chair restriction??

When talking about silencers, if you use supersonic ammo, what you are also hearing is two reports at the same time too. One from the initial explosion and the sonic boom of the bullet. A silencer will help take care of the initial explosion portion. Still loud, but not as much.
The Kanabō is a bit big to be called a 'mace' It's more of a warhammer designed to spread out impact instead of concentrate it. Also requires a _lot_ of conditioning to use properly, so it's the cliché 'brute' weapon.
Plaxico Burress you missed the best part of that story. After shooting himself with his own glock he was arrested for crime and eventually sentenced to 2 years in prison.
Cutting spears in half with a sword is a lot harder than people think. Those things are made from really dense wood, you want a stick you could otherwise beat someone to death with... then you put a spike on the end just to be an asshole.
Honestly Chavezz and Skitten I have to thank both of you for Introducing me to 2 of my favorite history/informational channels (Salmonella and Internet Historian). I originally thought they were both just the usual history/informations channels just super boring with no personality just talking about history like they were reading from a Text Book.
Breakfast food is the best. Cheese omelets, bacon, bacon gravy, biscuits, hashbrowns (depending how they are made), pancakes/waffles, butter on EVERYTHING... breakfast sandwiches. Hell, I like breakfast food so much I'll sometimes cook these things for dinner. Oh so yummy.
My neighbors had an absurd number of cats. Just tens of cats every night shitting and spraying piss everywhere. So after a point my dad just got a cage trap, would catch like a couple a day and then drive them some miles out to this farm and release them there so we didn't have to deal with it anymore.
On November 28, 2008, Burress suffered an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound to his right thigh at the nightclub LQ on Lexington Avenue in New York City when his Glock pistol in the pocket of his black-colored jeans began sliding down his leg; apparently in reaching for his gun, he inadvertently pressed the trigger, causing the gun to fire. The Manhattan District Attorney stated Burress was wearing jeans. The injury was not life-threatening and Burress was released from an area hospital the next afternoon. Two days later, Burress turned himself in to police to face charges of criminal possession of a handgun. It was later discovered that New York City police learned about the incident only after seeing it on television and were not called by NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital as required by law. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the hospital actions an "outrage" and stated that they are a "chargeable offense". Bloomberg also urged that Burress be prosecuted to the fullest extent, saying that any punishment short of the minimum 3½ years for unlawful carrying of a handgun would be "a mockery of the law." Burress had an expired concealed carry license from Florida, but no New York license.
Great reaction as always! That Gay bomb reminded me of my mandatory military service... Back then the transport trucks had no fancy seat modules so people basically had to sit on each other laps for safety... I remember the instructor saying "No worries boys, if you been with a woman you know what to do and if not, this will be good practice." Also when it came to training camps it was often joked that do not worry if you have to spoon a little during those cold wintery nights... It is not gay, just a manly friendship, two brothers looking after each others wellbeing. Oh! Also there was a study once that during the wartime it was quite commen men helped each other to relieve but it was not that much spoken as it was considered as a big taboo... However from the diaries and memoirs they have concluded things like that did happen and was more common than people liked to admit.
You’re not gonna cut through the shaft of a spear, with a sword, in the middle of a fight. You might snap it if you really lay into it, with a great sword maybe.
@@QuikVidGuy Technically breakfast means to break your fast. A fast is not eating which is what most people do when they sleep. So you can have "breakfast" at 9pm if you just don't eat till then. Its also not recommended to eat heavy meals in the morning. That whole "most important meal of the day" line is just more marketing. Personally i wait until mid day since thats when i am actually awake and feeling like food. About 6 hours then another 6 for dinner usually works good.
Javelins were devastating, but were used by lines of "skirmishers". Very light armored, fast moving combatants who could run up, cause casualties and potentially serious damage, easily run away, and never come within the swing of a single sword. However, if they're paper, and infantry are rock, then cavalry was scissors. It's shocking how generally accurate that comparison is.
Wood used for spears is supposed to be quite sturdy and be somewhat resistant to sword strikes. You could also just get a metal only spear but it would be heavy.
spears really are OP. It's the reach aspect. You can reach someone easy with a spear from much farther away then with a sword. Always go with the spear
for the old weapons It would be a good old war hammer. nice sharp point on the top, pretty heavy and a nice crow hook on the back and a nice flat blunt hammer side. war hammers were amazing weapons its like a spear with the spike on top of it. its heavy and easy to cave in armor. the crow hook for yanking people off horses. its a pretty round about weapon. some are super long and some have much heavier heads. like a nice balanced war hammer is pretty top tier weapon. its not really a fast weapon but its hard to block. the different ways to use it is really nice.
I have a theory on why her dad took a picture of the romance novel, he probably didnt know if it was a romance novel or not, I know personally as a man i can't tell the difference between a romance novel and goosebumps, so he prob needed to take a picture and have her mom confirm that it was a romance novel.
best medieval weapon are polearms: spears, halberds, pole hammers, billhooks, etc. BECAUSE they are FANTASTIC at keeping people at bay not able to hit you while you're able to stab, smash, or slice them.
Look up pillums - Romans hard coad threw their spears. They had one badass spear that they used for everything. It even had a big metal wieght and 4 feet of metal stalf just to make sure that no one could ever chop the shaft near the tip. Just an all purpouse pointy stick.
5:07 Ay, I got the same situation! My neighbour has 2 cats but tbh she doesn't take care of them, she used to give them a bowl of food but she's stopped, can't let them starve so we're feeding them. They've gotten so used to us that they come inside the house and just chill, our garden is pretty much their home now. Aren't our cats but they pretty much are now. And they don't even shit in our yard, don't know where they go but there is a forest nearby so prob there.
My cousins weren't allowed Disney comics because their mom thought the Duck characters were too stupid to spend money on so whenever they came over they would just sit there reading Donald Duck comics while I played Video games.
i know way too much about old melee weapons... but if i had to pick one and only one, pole-axe, i won't bore you with "why" cause that would take too long to explain.
I would definitely take a bill cause one it was one of the most common weapons and if it was used that much it was effective and two it comes with its own name, who doesn't want a weapon named bill.

Actually, the sword in the stone is the sword of Arthur's dad, Uther Pendragon. Excalibur is the sword he receives from the Lady in the Lake after the other sword breaks, IIRC
In experience, Suppressors are more for Flash suppression and misdirection. Even with a suppressor, especially in a warzone, no one disputes that it is a suppressed weapon BUT there is no visual report at all
it's got the same trigger as one of those fall-apart puppets so its chain is sturdy when you wanna walk on it and when you wanna flail it around you just *click*
bro spears are so fucking good though, they have the range to battle in relative safe distance while also being able to retract your spear quickly to parry your opponents attacks because it doesnt get stuck like a sword or axe does, spear or halberd is 100% my choice, spear for chance of winning, halberd for style

And they don't even shit in our yard, don't know where they go but there is a forest nearby so prob there.
You should renamed them
Grounded from reading... let that sink in.
You call that a knife? This is a knife.

My cousins weren't allowed Disney comics because their mom thought the Duck characters were too stupid to spend money on so whenever they came over they would just sit there reading Donald Duck comics while I played Video games.
I've actually written a set of rules on how to successfully be a Serial Killer.
Look at community because you made it
Im here cuz chavez said something about it. Also what's the list?
I am here
Found this from the community tab lol
Chavezz: (Whips out knife)
Skittens: "That's not a knoif. This...(struggle) This...(struggle) This is a knoif."
That’s not a kniof this is a knoif
Excalibur was the sword given to Arthur by the lady in the lake, the sword he pulled from the stone was actually called Clarent.
i know way too much about old melee weapons... but if i had to pick one and only one, pole-axe, i won't bore you with "why" cause that would take too long to explain.
I would definitely take a bill cause one it was one of the most common weapons and if it was used that much it was effective and two it comes with its own name, who doesn't want a weapon named bill.
@@rileycannon6789 bill... as in bill-hook? If so, that's a good pick!
@@Spot_Faceless-Soldier yes bill hook, I just enjoy calling it bill lol
"I'm not supposed to be reading" okay what
To clarify: Caliburn is the sword Arthur pulls from the stone, Caliburn breaks in battle, and Arthur is taken to the lake to receive Excalibur.
Bro this man chavezz really got some luxury hair, like i can see that scene from family guy with peter leaping through the grass only its his hair.
39:04 oh my god I straight died man you killed ME with that snap back joke hahaha.
notice she looked at her finger before saying ow... these two are precious and loveable
48:00 it’s like one said at the end “let’s just bs and add a shit load of work for the editor to do” and the other one was like “oh man I have just the idea remember my breakfast I told you about?”
0:33 Ah, behold, *italian hand* the Chavezzslovakian Family.
My mans is throwing out facts about how useful spears are. A lot of people also fall for the misconceptions about spears.
Actually, the sword in the stone is the sword of Arthur's dad, Uther Pendragon. Excalibur is the sword he receives from the Lady in the Lake after the other sword breaks, IIRC
Skitten look to happy with that miniature sword
Yall are clearly in true love. It stands up to jokes. Thats real fukn love
You haven't lived till you had a good breakfast. It like restarts your body.
"grounded from reading" is some Lisa Simpson bullshit
In experience, Suppressors are more for Flash suppression and misdirection. Even with a suppressor, especially in a warzone, no one disputes that it is a suppressed weapon BUT there is no visual report at all
grounded from reading oh my god. “young lady no more reading for a month. if i catch you even looking at a billboard your ass is grass”
Spent 7 years in Asia. The car parking is so small that pulling out and getting equal space on both sides is much easier when you are backed in.
Shuriken were used actually as a distraction to direct the attention to blockin the shuriken then going in with their Ninjato and actually attack them
Dear God about time you guys reacted to this lol
I love her absolute disbelief about Plaxico's name.
Not being allowed to read is like not being allowed to imagine. That's crazy
My foot weapon would be a medieval flail attachment
it's got the same trigger as one of those fall-apart puppets so its chain is sturdy when you wanna walk on it and when you wanna flail it around you just *click*
bro spears are so fucking good though, they have the range to battle in relative safe distance while also being able to retract your spear quickly to parry your opponents attacks because it doesnt get stuck like a sword or axe does, spear or halberd is 100% my choice, spear for chance of winning, halberd for style
The evil laugh in the intro>>>
cats shitting on my yard get scared off with 20 gauge blast in the air.
Sam o Nella not gone forever, just just looking for topics to research.
He is right about spears. Historically they are good weapons. Second would definitely be bludgeon weapons.
mace for sure, you can't overstate the ability to cripple an opponent, if they survive it's still a death sentence back in those times
Guns for show, knives for a pro.
Who in their Right Mind would take Breakfast instead of waiting for Lunch
BREAKFAST IS THE BEST MEAL, THIS IS THE HILL I DIE ON.
Breakfast food is just food that comes with coffee. IDC if I gotta eat eggs on toast, a pizza slice, or sushi; as long as the beverage is coffee.

"...There's no mother that would name"
The Law that makes you unable to name your child "Messiah, Adolf Hitler, Jesus, Santa Claus, etc" : _are you sure about that ?_
Holy shit, the last suppressed gunshot when they were doing the game show bit sounds exactly like the sound effect for the sr-25 in socom US Navy seals
(13:08) I've heard of that before, so your not using the pillow to quiet the shot, your using the pillow so there's no blood spatter in your direction, or something like that
There's a good reason the spear was ubiquitous across basically every fighting force in all of human history until the firearm
