epic rap battles of history roosevelt churchill douglass jefferson
The "Tomorrow I'll be sober and you'll still be roasted" line is a reference to his "you'll still be disgustingly ugly" insult.
Isn’t that contested to not be true? As far as I know, it isn’t confirmed he actually said that
@@sirnetflix7162 Most historical quotes are, since they were made (mostly) before audio recordings were a thing. On a similar note, Churchill didn't make the 'We Will Fight Them On the Beaches' speech during WW2 or to the general public. He made it a couple years after in Parliament (maybe during his re-election campaign, not sure).
@@thesunwillneverset he made it in 1939 after France surrendered early ww2 few months after chamberman resign
@@williamreeves8382 Really? I believe a version of the speech was made around that time, but the usually-quoted one was after WW2. I could be wrong, though, I very often am.
@@thesunwillneverset yea the speech was made after France fell but before canada Australia and NZ etc joined the period where it was a 1v3 British empire vs Germany and Italy and French Puppet State
Things that weren't mentioned from Churchill's first verse:
-Saving the planet from an axis of darkness: Yes, this is a reference to Roosevelt's conservationism, but also referencing Churchill's Britain fighting the Axis powers in WW2
-I'll fight you on the beaches, I'll fight you on the beats, yes: Reference to his 'we shall never surrender' speech
-But tomorrow I'll be sober and you'll still be roasted: References a real life burn Churchill made, when at an event a woman accused him of being drunk, he replied "I may be drunk, but tomorrow I'll be sober, and you'll still be ugly."
Wow
Churchill did not say that you’ll still be ugly comment. It was his best friend I forgot his name but I just literally read this. His friend was way sharper with off the cuff comments. But Churchill did not say it look it up
@@seancascanet3428 Fair play. Churchill still gets credited with it a lot, though.
"Why, mister Prime Minister, I do believe you're drunk."
"I do believe you're right, but you're ugly, and I'll be sober in the morning."
oh... so he was the pioneer of that drunk joke!
What a treat to find a reactor that knows his history. Well done, greetings from Iceland
Not all of it though. Didn't catch the you'll still be roasted line. Churchill said that in real life, just change roasted to ugly.
Hello fellow skeemer
Highly recommend Mr. Terry’s History as well, he’s also excellent
You should check out knox hill he is pretty good with giving information about erb history battles
Yep Knox hill and Mr terry are solid reactors as well
He talked for over an hour after he got shot... TR was the epitome of the word BADASS...
Yes he was.
@@VloggingThroughHistory man didnt have the nickname the bull moose for no reason.
Just casually telling the crowd he was shot but talking it off!
Heard one story during his cowboy days where teddy was in a bar and some drunk thug made fun of his glasses and threatened to kill TR if he didn't buy him a drink. TR preceded to punch the guy unconscious and arrested him.
Also not sure who said it, but they say Death had to take Roosevelt sleeping or else there would have been a fight
My history teacher claims that the definition of badass is Theodore if you look it up on Images
A suggestion for ERB: Eastern philosophers vs western philosopher, and
Alexander the Great vs Ivan the terrible are a must!
Those are probably the best historically speaking.
:) ua-cam.com/video/0N_RO-jL-90/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/NVbH1BVXywY/v-deo.html
Why are you calling me terrible. That’s rude man. (Yeah I know its the Russian guy Ivan just enjoy a joke.)
Amusingly the line "I'm so down with revolutions I invented the swivel chair" is true
Thomas Jefferson is credited with inventing the swivel chair
Yeah there's a whole scene about that in the HBO series John Adams.
And he was down with revolution. He was one time quoted to have said that a healthy republic needed a frequent infusion of blood manure to retain its vigor. Or something to that effect.
While he didn’t come up with the concept, he created the first working prototype.
So, not a historical point but the "What's up B*tches!" is from TR being used as a spokesperson from some of ERB's early ad pieces.
Yes and every news video would start with him saying "What's up bitches?"
"Teddy's dropping bombs, you best go hide in your tube" is a reference to The Tube (the London underground train network) being used as air raid shelters during WW2 bunk beds were set up on platforms and people would pay to spend the night there to get away from the air raids during the battle of Britain.
You can still visit the cabinet war rooms. I believe they were a part of the underground that was renovated, but I may be mistaken.
The 3/5 compromise line from Douglas was BRILLIANT.
What people don't understand about the 3/5 compromise was that it was actually a way to give slave owners less voting power.
he won there and then
Great reaction! Love it even more when someone knows their history. One thing I did notice you missed is that Roosevelt says he "loves competition" a reference of course to the Sherman Antitrust Act
Oooh good catch.
VERY nice catch.
One small detail I love in the Teddy Vs. Churchill battle, is that at the end when Teddy speaks you can see rough riders in the background, and when Churchill speaks you can see paratroopers
Douglass' line about his photos and muggin. He was, if I'm not mistaken, the most photographed black man of his time and he made a point to never smile as to dispel the myth of the "happy negro".
Feel free to correct me here.
No I believe you're correct about that.
I'm sure you're right about the origin of the line, but it's worth noting that it didn't become common to smile in photos until the 20th century.
I think he was the most photographed person of the 19th century black or white.
He was the most photographed person of the 19th century, PERIOD.
@@the4tierbridge how many ?
Fun fact: the line “I’ll topple any tyrant so kings and pirates beware” refers to the First Barbary War. TJ halted the tribute the US had been paying to the pirates of the Barbary States and ordered the recently refounded US Navy (and Marines) to go and deal with them.
"to the Shores of Tripoli..."
One of the probably least known conflicts in American history but yet the raising of the flag at Tripoli was the first time the American Flag flew over a foreign capital. And really the first war america had fought as a nation post independence. And sadly that’s the most I know of that conflict.
Ayy
"...when you died on the Fourth of July. That's a very important holiday, but what the f*ck does that mean to this guy?" is actually a reference to a quote by Frederick Douglass from a speech he gave at an Independence Day celebration in 1852. "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" And he goes on to say something that must have been pretty heavy to at least some of the people listening. "The sunlight that brought light and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn..."
Wow, thanks for bringing this up
Suggestion, especially for ERB, when you pause rewind 5 second with the left arrow key when you restart so you don't cut in the middle of a sentence and miss out on something.
I didn't know the arrow keys did that. I knew J jumps back 10 seconds, K pauses, and L jumps forward 10 seconds, and how < and > allow you to move frame by frame, but I didn't know there was a 5 second option.
Thanks!
@@SylviusTheMad for my whole life I've only known to use the arrow keys when skipping videos. Thank you random stranger on the internet
I did not know the key for that. Thanks! :D
I used smartphones and PS4 for years now.
And back before smartphones I dragged the little "the sound is here bro" thingy along the time bar like a peasant.
Mind.
Blown.
TR vs Churchill is one of my favoueites. When they're showing the bomber planes in the background of Churchill and the cavalry charge behind TR as they're giving their last lines it gives me chills.
I absolutely love your profile photo!
@@BryantVonMiller why thank you
@@chisokugaming You're most welcome ^_^ Did ya make it yourself or was it comissioned?
@@BryantVonMiller It was commissioned by an artist formerly known as Seareerie
@@chisokugaming Daw neato! I cannot find any direct info about said artist. By guestimation, they changed their name or have they since passed away? Or stopped their craft?
Or am I doin' a big ol' stupid?
Ironic that Theodore Roosevelt was actually a soft spoken man even though he's very aggressive in this battle
Hence, walk softly but carry a big stick. He practiced what he preached.
@@jacobhartman1091 more then we can say to most
I could be misremembering, but Douglas's owners wife started teaching him to read, like just the basics, and he taught himself from there while working on the docks. That's from one read of one of his autobiographies years ago
I heard that he learned/improved his reading by challenging white people to spelling competitions and learned a lot from that. Don't quote me on that though.
I love that right once the song starts you've already got a smile on your face from the first word! This is my favorite ERB and I love seeing peoples reaction to it.
"I'll fight you on the beaches" is reference to his "We shall fight on the beaches" famous speech.
Yeah, same with his final quote "I'll never surrender" a reference to his "We shall never surrender" on the same speech.
There was a lot more to Winton's roast that wasn't elaborated on.
"We'll never surrender" - the fact that even during the blitz, Briton didn't give up.
Then there's more about Winstons greatest moments being during war
"I'll fight you on the beaches," was a very famous speech of Winston's about opposing the nazi's
TRs roast where way better tho
Roosevelt’s mother also died on the same day as his first wife. He then moved out to what would become North Dakota to deal with his grief.
At 5:43 Winston says that in the morning he'll be sober but in the morning Roosevelt will still be roasted. This is a little nod to when Winston Churchill got in a fight with a woman in Parliament because she called him a drunk old man where he responded "I may be drunk but you are ugly the differences in the morning I shall be sober but you shall still be ugly.
Churchill loved his cigars. In fact, the famous picture of him looking dour is because the photographer has just taken away his cigar so it wouldn’t ruin the shot. He lived to be 90, I think.
On the flip side, TR was born asthmatic, but he conquered it and became tough
The guy that play Churchill is named Dan Bull. He does a lot of video game raps. He did one for the game Civilization, but the rap ends up being just a rap about the history of humanity. You should really check it out
He played Jack the Ripper in a previous ERB of History vs EpicLLOYD as Hannibal Lecter.
OMG! FINALLY!!! A history channel that does these justice! Not like this history "teacher" channel that mostly nodded along!
This is what I wanted to see! Expansion on the references! Very good, sir! Very good!
I love that you’re giving historical context to the verses in the ERB videos! Can you do a reaction to Eastern vs. Western Philosophers and Ghandi vs. MLK Jr. please!!
The line about mount rushmore is sorta true, Roosevelt was friends with the sculpture for the mountain and the thing is, it wasn't finished. It was originally planned to make the bodies but when the sculpture died, the workers just lifted and there wasn't any money to continue it.
Also fun fact, the pile of rock at the bottom of the monument was from the tnt blasts, the worker did when they were making the monument.
"I'll fight you on the beaches" and "I'll battle till the end and I'll never surrender" is a reference to Churchill's speech during the Battle of France, particularly this bit here:
"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"
Anyone else here learned that speech from Iron Maiden? ;-)
I love the way you dont pause a lot, instead you react to the verse after it is done. Very nice touch 👌🏽.
If you will be reacting to more erbs, i would definitely subscribe
Cheers
Late to the party but the TR vs WC battle is easily my favourite. One thing about Churchill. The line "I'll fight you on the beaches, I'll fight you on the beats, yes" is a reference to after the fall of France when Churchill addresses the British people via radio. Also easily my favourite bit is at the end after Teddy gets shot if you watch the background you'll see a silhouette of rough riders and then paratroopers during the lightning strikes respectively.
I'd love to see you react to Sabaton the last Battle. It is their song on the battle of castle itter. there is also a yarnhub episode on the battle that has recently been released. Good video as always keep up the good work!
Wow. Just wow.
I've watched a LOT of ERB reactions, especially those by historians, and you are the first I've ever seen catch the "bully pulpit" line.
Bravo.
Oh my good lord. This should be an interesting series.
The ill fight you on the beaches line , came from one of his speeches, he gave to his soldiers to give them motivation. It was a speech to counter the call for the soldiers to be evacuated from Dunkirk.
I always thought it referred to fighting off a possible German invasion of Britain, on Britain's beaches.
lots of references to Winston Churchill's most famous speeches in world war 2. "Axis of Darkness" "Fight you on the beaches" "We will never Surrender"
"I never heard a verse I dug less" - wordplay on Douglass
"My Parents died when they were young and it was morbid but at least they didn't ditch me when they were alive like yours did , OH SHIT, World WAR TWO SOON"
And that where he won.
Nah he had us at "Whats Up Bitches....... !"
Every line was a bar. TR is a beast
Dang, somebody who knows history, i like that, i've seen almost all of these battles but watching again because of u, keep doin what u doin, people needs to go back and read history, lot of people don't know there own history
7:58 before the speech he was shot before it waved of medics and started the speech with "I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." The bull moose is a reference to the party he was running for, when he was running for a 3rd term, the bull moose party
The TR vs Churchill one is actually kind of an interesting little piece to use as a comparison between american and british ideas and standards of masculinity. I don't think it's controversial to say that both are revered as strong, masculine figures in their countries, but the contrast between how that manifests both in terms of them as people and how they're portrayed is fascinating.
T.R. was Assistant Secretary of the Navy when the Spanish-American War Started, he was elected governor of new york after the war and then became Vice President when McKinley's Vice President died in 1899.
That's all correct except TR became VP in 1901 which is when McKinley was assassinated.
While Great BRittan is the size of Kansas (84600km^2 compared to about 83000km^2) England is the size of alabama at 54000KM^2
I like the “hide in your tube” line, referencing the blitz and where civilians hid in the subways
Thank you for not pausing every three words and turning a 3-4 minute ERB video into a forty minute reaction. It’s very much appreciated 👍
Fredrick Douglas is one of the most badass men in American history and he’s never talked about enough....
I still like learning about Jefferson and I’m from Louisiana so I guess I feel obligated to like him a little bit 😂
I don’t know enough about Douglas and I need to learn more. Because I’m rather tired of coworkers and teenagers telling me how “great Black Panther was for raising awareness of black culture” but can’t tell me who Frederick Douglas was or who William Carney was.
Just thought I would say love the reactions, however Frederick Douglass was taught the alphabet by and some shorter words by Sophia Auld before her husband noticed it and put an end to it however from there he taught himself to fully read and write if I remember correctly
"I might be battling you even though I'm toasted. But tomorrow I'll be sober and you'll still be roasted!" That was a reference to Churchhill's retort to either Lady Astor or Bessie Braddock who was chiding him about his drinking "“I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.” Yes Frederick Douglass won that battle with Thomas Jefferson.
5:00
I personally believed that the 12 Step Programm could have also been a reference to the 14 Step Programm after WW1 by the us president as a suggestion for Germany
If I remember correctly, Churchill was heavily against it while the treaty of Versaille had terrible results afterwards
I always thought it was a fat joke
Hey Bro! In Churchills first part you missed the "fight them on the beaches" speach and that Roosevelt was opening national parks....Loved the reaction though! Nice one🤙
He was Assistant Secretary of the Navy Before he took his commission. The movie rough riders show a bit of his speech at the naval war college. Also the only President to receive the Congregational Medal of Honor.
thank you for explaining the bullet incident.
a lot of zealots seem to think he was somehow invincible.....and they compleltey try to ignore the cushioning provided by the speech and the lens case
I love the subtle reference to Roosevelt's economic policy at the beginning with the line "I love competition"
As an Australian I would love you to do a deep dive on Gallipoli.
I like that you react to this like Terry - except - you pause in the Transitions and not nonstop whenever you have something to say - since you write things down. Thumbs up.
Thanks...trying to be mindful of the viewer experience.
A part of this I never see anyone notice is during TR vs Churchill final part where they are face to face, in the back round you can see horseman riding along when TR is speaking and paratroopers in the back round when Churchill is speaking. Its very subtle but always gives me chills.
When I delved into TR's past, I get this suspicion that he might have ADHD. Just in his mannerisms and how he was always wanting to be a cowboy like figure. I'm not sure if it is confirmed or not, but I can kind of see it.
Also, he had a metal case for his glasses that also helped stop the bullet. So you could say that his sight impairment saved his life.
I don't know...- A guy who publishes history texts at 24, graduated Harvard, spoke (at least to the level of decent communication) several languages. And he actually seem to carry the issues in policy he saw as outdated or unfair, non-existent etc from start to finish. - It does not strike me as a person who has problems with attention or keeping focus... I think he was just a high energi person, he surely put public heath as a high priority it seems. He might have hade some type of mild dyslexia earlier on....But I would say his job titles and his nobel price puts whatever diagnose he may have had on his non-issue list. :)
Id wager more on autism, almost savant levels. As the other commenter mentioned, he was very accomplished, and as an autistic myself, i can see some paralells. It takes a damn stubborn man to when shot, beat the living hell of the the attempted assassin, and then continue on his way like nothing. Im fairly stubborn, but dont think im quite that badass
In the 1st battle where TR was talking about "keep calm and kiss my cousin's ass" they were actually referencing their own family relationship as WC and TR are also distant cousin's, much farther distant but it is a known and traceable lineage.
Ah that’s perfect
Looking back at the video that introduced me to Vlogging Through History. Now, years later, VTH is easily in my top 3 channels.
Appreciate that Joshua!
At 10:05 Jefferson says "I topple any tyrant, so kings and pirates beware". After the American revolution King George paid well for privateers to pillage the American east coast. As Sec of State, Jefferson quickly arranged a makeshift navy and destroyed the pirate threat in America.
I assumed it was a reference to the war against the Barbary pirates when he was President.
"He was called Teddy by the people who don't like him" (The English sounds wrong - appologies to that)
Proceeds to call out: "I gotta give this win to Teddy Rosevelt."
Fair point....because I do like him!
@@VloggingThroughHistory 😂
the thing you missed of thomas jerfferson's was that he said "not to mention third president", which is apparently a reference to that he didn't take pride or, a "mention", to being the president. i only know that little fact because i read the comments ages ago when i first watched it. lol
Something you forgot to add is how the rap makes a reference to Churchill speech when the French surrendered.
FDR’s parents were actually married in my hometown of Newburgh NY, this was because FDR’s mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt, was born here and the Delano family was a prominent member of the community owning a large estate on the banks of the Hudson River. Newburgh is about 25 miles south of FDR’s library in Hyde Park and is also home to George Washington’s Headquarters where he lived out the final years of the American Revolution.
I absolutely love your reaction videos. Keep it up. I like how you know so much facts about these historical figures both real and fictional. I watched your reaction video about the erb of Jack the ripper vs. Hannibal and checked out your other reaction vids after.
I would like to point out that, in terms of square miles, Alabama, and England are both roughly 50k square miles.
I don’t know how I just found your channel, but I’m glad I finally did!👍👍👏
I’m glad too! Welcome.
@@VloggingThroughHistory also I hope you do more hearts of Iron videos on your other channel. Love that game! But In other words great work!
When Douglass first appears and says "Straight outta bondage" the same camera shot is used as in the video for "Straight Outta Compton".
The structure of one of Churchill’s lines
Tomorrow I’ll be sober
And you’ll still be roasted
Is taken from an encounter he had with Bessie Braddock MP
Teddy Roosevelt is the answer to a trivia question. Who is the only person to be awarded BOTH a Medal of Honor for distinctive gallantry on the field of battle, as well as a Nobel Peace Prize?
I ordinarily don't like reaction videos, but I do like watching when experts react to things because you actually learn while they react. So thanks for the background information on these rap battles.
Also, Thomas Jefferson's line about being so down with revolutions he invented the swivel chair is one of my all-time favorite lines from Epic Rap Battles of History. It still makes me laugh whenever I hear it, especially because Nice Peter delivers it with such conviction.
A lot of people miss the " T.R will give W.C the full deuce" line.
W.C, or 'Water closet', is another term for rest room. I think "deuce" should be self explanatory. As in "Drop a deuce."
Churchill then responds with "Whatever shit you throw at me, I'll just return to sender..."
The line "pick up the phone" was a play on the first part of the sentence "You talk about letting freedom ring but you didnt pick up the phone" talking about how Jefferson had slaves
The lead off of the Fourth of July is also very clever wordplay. Jefferson died July 4, 1826. Douglass wrote a speech called "What, to an American slave, is your 4th of July?"
Also at the end of Jefferson’s first verse, he seems a little embarrassed when he says “VP number 2” as he was VP for John Adams, his rival
I remember as a kid reading the declaration of independence, I use to idolise T. Jefferson, naively thinking he believed in every word he wrote 😅
Teddy bears were also named after ted Roosevelt (even though he loathed the name). Another reason for that line
As a Gallipoli, I appreciated the ERB line. Kudos and thank you very much again for another great video.
Tbh it is extremly hard to catch everything with the first (or the twelth...) screening of an ERB. But the fact that you said for Churchills first verse, that there was less history shows a bit of a bias - i believe. It might just be that you focus more on Rosevelt as you might know more about him?
But you pointed out Rosevelt being a heavy drinker, but didn't go for Churchill beeing a the heavy smoker. You ignored the famous "battle you on the land, the air and the beaches" speech reference and also you spoke about Rosevelt being a conservationist (national park/saving the planet) but ignored the "axis of evil" part of the reference + the reference that the US didn't join into the war for quite some time, while the british were already fighting. Just pointing that out^^
I didn't say anything about Roosevelt being a heavy drinker. I said Churchill was. Actually I know far more about WW2 and Churchill than I do about TR...just thought the use of historical tidbits was better with TR.
@@VloggingThroughHistory My bad about the drinking reference.
Given that you do know more about it, how come you didn't reference at least his most famous speeches? (fight on land, air, beaches and never surrender) Btw i also agree that Churchill lost this one, though I didn't judge it by amount of historical references but rather how they were incorporated to attack the other one ^^
Oh and if you ever find the time to rewatch it, try to reach to the visuals. They do have some nice references there too.
The size of England is immensely tiny compared to the US. I moved 1k miles north from Southern CA to Portland metro. If I was in the southernmost point in England moving north I would probably end up somewhere around the Faroe islands.
"The light has gone out of my life." Oof. That's rough.
Fun fact: Theodore Roosevelt called himself Teddy in the first one!
If you look closely at the end of TR V WC, when tr is giving his last lines the rough riders are in the background and when it switches to wc you can see ww2 paratroopers
Great reactions, loved the info!
A bit mad though that you didn't catch Churchill's WW2 references with "axis of darkness" and the famous "never surrender" speech
Someone in the rap's comments mentioned that Churchill's last line on his first verse is a reference to something he said to a reporter who said he's a no good drunk, he replied saying: "and you're quite ugly, but tommorow I'll be sober and you'll still be ugly"
One thing about ERB is that they can pack SO much historical content into just a couple bars with great wordplay, often getting two ideas across with a single pun or phrase.
You left out: "I love competition!" - a reference to Theodore Roosevelts anti-trust-laws. Roosevelt took on and broke the big trusts that at the time had virtual monopolies over a lot of the us-oeconomy and the political influence that went with that.
I love how he says that people that didn't like TR called him Teddy, then mistakingly calls him Teddy after the battle ends. Honest mistake, but something I caught on second viewing. Loving your channel!
TR was shot by the Bavarian immigrant John Schrank in 1912, *before* he held his 84 minute speech. The over 50-page manuscript, as well as the metal pince-nez case, managed to divert and lessen the impact of the assailant's bullet, which would've been fatal otherwise. He was superficially checked by his doctor and then decided to hold his speech, since he wasn't in acute danger.
Teddy was the assistant secretary of the navy when the Spanish-American war broke out. He resigned because he believed that if he was going to talk about going to war, then he better back it up by going to war himself.
Nice, could you sometime do a reaction to sabatons Smoking Snakes?
It's a song about the Brazilian Expedionary Force in WW2 where 3 Soldiers refused to surrender to the germans and fought them until they didn't have any ammo left, so they bayonet charged the germans and of course were killed. Then they were buried by the germans who placed a cross on their graves saying '' Drei Brasilianische Helden '' (Three brazilian heroes)
for those not aware, Douglass' "straight outta bondage" line is a reference to NWA's Straight Outta Compton. The lyric, obviously, but the choreography as he says it is also the same as in the original music video, and the background at that part is modeled to look like it too.
About the 'size of one state' line: They got it only 1/2 wrong with comparing it to Alabama. England is about the size of Alabama, but the whole UK is about the size of Michigan (they show the whole UK in the video, which is an error). But I wouldn't say your comment about it being a 'good chunk' of the east coast isn't entirely accurate either
That's fair, though I was thinking more in terms of length than of actual land area. The length of Great Britain from North to South is about the same as New York to South Carolina. But fair point.
Winston also made a reference to him getting called drunk he replied well I'll be sober tomorrow but you'll still be ugly
great reaction vid i look forward to more erb
the way EpicLLOYD delivers the line:
"A BULLET CAN'T STOP THE BULL MOOSE"
is so amazing and flawless that i have to do it myself whenever i hear it.
VTH, WE NEED MORE OF REACTIONS TO EPIC RAP BATTLES!!!
I just found your channel, let me say: Finally!! Someone with enough knowhow to appreciate some of the more complex rap battles that require more knowledge than just personal insults!! I request you do Mitt Romney vs Barak Obama if you haven't already. I'm about to go see if you have.
Something you may appreciate it at the end of the TR and WC battle are backgrounds of their respective historical events. TRs background is the rough riders and Churchill's is paratroopers during WWII
Okay I’m late to the party but i just learned about it:
I think the “tomorrow I’ll be sober and you’ll still be roasted” is a reference to when he was drunk and talking to a female MP and said “I may be drunk today, but I’ll be sober tomorrow and you’ll still be ugly”
