The Duke of Death: English Gunfighter John Bull
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- Although John Bull remains relatively unknown today, the English-born gambler is considered one of the deadliest gunmen in the Old West. John plied his trade in boom towns across America, tallying up quite the body count and somehow managing to die with his boots off! #history #wildwest #western

“Duck I says”
Sounds like a John Bull
Dang it you beat me.
Haha love it. I'm wondering why this dude didn't make that the title of the video
You been talking about that queen of yours again Bob? ON JUNETEENTH?
@@raimundotorres44 😂😂😂
Let's all acknowledge that Richard Harris played that part BRILLIANTLY in Unforgiven. What an awesome actor.
"You been talking about the queen again Bob, on independence day!"
I guess you think I'm kicking you Bob.
These days, you'd have to ask "which queen?"
It's a beautiful example of the power of a fascist authority. It's just one of the most flawless films I've ever seen.
"Born in England, the poor bastard!" You cheeky bastard 🤣
I might have gotten that wrong, Peel may have been born in Ireland
@@WildWestExtravaganza
What!? You cheeky fecker! 😂🇮🇪
@@WildWestExtravaganza May have been born in Ireland. But Peel is not an Irish surname. Most likely English, possibly he or his father were in British army and posted to Ireland? No true Irishman would sing the praises of the Queen of England on Independence Day, St. Patrick’s Day or any other day 😀

@@davekeating.
Peel is definitely a English name .
Sir Robert Peel. Founder of the world’s first and largest metropolitan police force. Larger than New York.
That’s why they call them ‘old bill’ or ‘bobbiies’ or the scousers still call them ‘peelers’
The duck of death
Duke
@@bighoss9705 it’s “duck” from the movie “unforgiven”
@@bighoss9705 ”Duck I said” now old Buddy Corkran was called 2 gun Corkran but never carried 2 guns….lol
I had to say it too
I am the terror that flaps in the night!
Butch Cassidy was also English; His Parker parents came from Preston, Lancashire.
Wrong. His mother came from Tyneside over in the NE of England near Newcastle. His father came from Accrington and they lived in Victoria Road, Preston- which still exists.
"You have insulted the honor of this beautiful woman, Corchran." Said The Duck
One of the greatest scenes of all time
Duck i says😮😮
Now…Corky never carried two pistols…although he should of lol and not wanting to cause an issue for Josh I’ll stop right there and won’t talk about the thing as big as the walker colt Corky carried…😅
@@michaeltwowolves3055 All Corcky ever did was sticking that thing of his in that French lady.
@@michaeltwowolves3055 It blew up in his hand, which was a failing common to that model.
It’s not John Bull, it’s English Bob
English bob was based on john bull
@@gunfighterzero not sure that’s correct , John Bull is a term for any English man in America at the time.
Just some yank talking bullpoop
@rolandtomassi3486 well that's the assumption, at least
@@gunfighterzero good movie and that’s all that matters, but on the train before they shoot the pheasants the guys asks him if he’s A John Bull,
Hate to break this to you - but the early Americans were mainly British / British Isles (ie English, Scottish, Welsh, Ulstermen, Irish). Even the ones who fought in the first Civil War for the Gnostic Cult Oligarchy (Dutch East India Company) for masonic New Rome (original name of Washington DC) versus the Hannoverian King / Crown and his Hannoverian/Hessian troops.
I don’t understand anything you just said
Come again
In 1929 my grandpa was 21 years old in northwestern Kansas. Brings them closer to our day. Interesting story. 👍👍
Not that long ago
Lakin, KS?
@@beerdrinker6452 just north of Atwood Kansas in the extremely small town of Herndon Kansas.
It fascinates how how a long time ago wasn't really that long ago.
@@jamesholbrook7785 Lakin is where my dad was raised during the depression. They would farm wheat in both KS and CO. Lakin is in Ellis county.
“…. he better arm himself, if he’s going to decorate his saloon with my friend.”
I found this Podcast when I started at my current job. In 30 days, I got caught up and am now hanging on for "Drop Day". The wild frontier was a unexpected fascination. Never really gave it a lot thought. Thought it was mostly all just romanticized. It was, but Josh really does his research, and breaks it down. Sometimes the Truth hurts. Heroes in this world are only Human. Hollywood loves a good story. But the facts are the facts. Most everyone White hat or Black Hat walked a grey line.
Wyatt Earp is a perfect example of the "grey line".
@@Skedawg88 very much so. Loved that series Josh did. This was my first UA-cam watching of the podcast. Sub'ed when I found it. I am normally a Amazon Gremlin.
The Duck of Death.
...all he wa quacked up to be!
"what's that for?... Snakes and such?"
We still love you josh,even though the wildwest eexxttrraagaanza is gone.At least we got to hear it for a little while.Thank you brother for another tale from the wild west.
Unforgiven! A great movie and one of my favorites. John Bull. What a character he was! Hey, you did a fantastic job with this history in the old west. Thank you 💛. Please send me more. I enjoyed very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Josh, you got a knack for story tellin'. And as long as your tellin' Im a listenin'. Cheers bro.
Always hyped when a new video drops!
Thanks
Great job! And an extra shout out for your working "Unforgiven" into your excellent stories. Yes, you had me going with the Big Whiskey segment! Cheers!!!
When I’m out mowing grass, there’s nothing better than listening to wild West extravaganza or a Sasquatch podcast
Heck yeah
The duck of death 😂love it
I am SO HOOKED on this content!!.....
I tip my hat to you Josh!
You do an amazing job telling the stories of the old west. Thank you sir!
Long tail frock coat shiny toed boots and a small hat cocked to one side😂😂😂😂 I am surprised onlookers didn’t die laughing 😂😂😂
Excellent story and delivery. Really enjoy your channel. You mention that our modern era is not that far removed from early America west expansion. I’ve always thought about this Becuase when I was a kid I saw a film in the theatre called “little Big Man”.
The entire film is the collection of stories from the old man in the hospital, his life story.
For me that was when I realized how close we are to those times.
Yeah that's a very thought provoking film.👍
My father was 20 years old when John Bull died. Makes me think, this does.
Can’t wait to listen to this one at work in about 2 hours know it’s going to be good so going to go ahead and smash that like button now
Rounders is such a great movie
Yes sir
Very interesting, never heard of John Bull before. Thanks Josh!
Thank you for pointing out the ROBOT B...S..T......We love your commentary.....You did refure to your self as an idiot...You are not at all an idiot ....."Oh contrere"You have enlightened myself as many others.....I once was told by a wise man, never to say anything negative about oneself......What you have told us deserves a great movie.....Keep up the great work we very much appreciate you Fella....Thank you for allowing my comment....God bless you and your family....
Thanks
Duck of death. 😅
Duck I say's!
😂😂
Solid, as always! Appreciate you, sir 👊 ❤🇺🇸
I appreciate you
Hey Josh! I'm a farmer.....whuddya saying 😅
As I understand the farmers were the real bad asses of the old west. I think Costner had it twisted in Open Range.
Nice Glorious Son reference! Come Heavy or don't come at all!
Farmers are definitely badass
Farmers are tough old buggers .
Don't mess with farmboys
@@freefall9832Farmboys is slang for gay boys
@MattiasSvanberg1987 interesting, it wasn't slang when I was young. There are a lot ot of subgroups nowadays with all their pronouns. In my day, farmboys were fit and capable of strong physical activity.
Josh dropped another one!! Yay!!🎉🎉🎉
Well, for those of us cinema types that love westerns, of course the Unforgiven was my first thought about Mr Bull. The fact that he lived until 1929 like his contemporary Wyatt Earp says a lot about outliving the wild west. You get extra credit for quoting Guy Clark in my estimation
Very good video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
a writer?.. letters n such
Haha
Very interesting, as usual. Thanks!
Glorious episode !
Awesome video. Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Best channel on UA-cam!
Awesome
Kenny Powers does history now!
Great job of narrating, thanks! Semper Fi
Thanks for listening
Thank you so much I haven’t heard anyone say “drunker than cooter brown” in a few years reminds me of fun. Oh and you tell a good tale to bad you aren’t a history teacher I bet kids would actually like learning history when it’s not presented as dry dusty facts only It’s the stories that make it come alive. Keep up the great work. Thanks again
Great story enjoyed it very much
Danny McBride is a masterful narrator.
He's been talking about the queen again. On Independence day.
This time he did it on Juneteenth, oh the horror and sheer audacity.
The Duck of death you mean..
😂...
Brilliant film , the unforgiven...
One of the best
Ya got no laws ya got no honor
Gee-Zus do you make me laugh. Some of those one-liners . THANK YOU!
Thank YOU
Great story as always 👍👍
Thanks for listening
I ❤ Unforgiven!
But can the robot roll it's Rs?
Haha probably better than me
Brother, rolling rrrrrrrs is genetic. I've had so many friends from around the world trying to show me for so long😂😂😂. It's fuckin Impossible . It's because I'm Irish. 😂😂😂 keep doin you man. Love this channel.
It's probably not the best idea to play "practical jokes" on us more adult combat veterans, we rarely appreciate it. I'm not saying we never do, I'm only saying we might not always will.
Great history, thank you so much for your excellent recounting of it too. Well done, Sir.
Good content. Interesting to hear about your a.i. immitator. Incidentally, I prefer your commentary at 0.75% speed. Makes you sound like a character from the wild west. Keep up the good work! From Oxford England
Thanks England!
My wife grew up in Sierra Leone, W Africa when it was under British rule. She says all adult British men were called John Bull.,.
Interesting story.👍🏻
Its even better when you imagine this dude wilding out like that with an English accent. Art looks great , man, noticed it rhebother day!
Hell of a story!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Man they are so pissed in this picture 🤣 🍻
Unforgiven ! Great movie !
Agreed
1 x i messed w a craftsman after return from his smoking lunch break. He'd been raving about the Pope running the world b4 lunch. I tolt him 2 priests stopped by axing 4 him. Never a damn 'gain. He was not actin' crazy. No damn act. Nvr 'gain.😮

Great story. Is that the only photo of gamblers available though? It got old very quickly...
Yep, only ones
"I know it seems like I'm kicking you, Bob,"
Most of the gunslingers proberbly had British family memebers or they immigrated to the US when they were young.
I once played a computer game of poker. I bet heavily on a hand that probability told me should be winning. But the computer had the next higher hand up and cleaned me out. And to my surprise, I was so mad I was absolutely sure the computer was cheating. But of course it wasn't. It was just a normal game of poker. And that told me that if you were a gambler in the Old West, you were also going to be a murderer, whether you wanted to be or not. Just the nature of the game and the time and place. It is well to remember that in the current day.
Guy's a freakin' MANIAC!!!!
The name John Bull was a fictional character used to describe a proper English Gentleman and was introduced in the 18th century by John Arbuthnott 💯😉
HERE WE GO!😊
You have excellent content here, great job. I would comment but I don't feel worthy. Ouch, my eye!
"talkin about the queen again?? On Independence day!!!"
Pretty good... for a John Bull.
imagine being a 10 year veteran at 22... insane
I'll have that 32 Bob
You would leave me at the mercy of my enemies?
@@WildWestExtravaganzaenemies Bob??
Brother - you don’t even have to mess with your “extravaganza” just do it the way you’ve been doing it it was really good, so there you go. - Yeehaw.!
NO NO SPEECH TEACHER / THEY DID THAT TO JOHNNY CASH AND THEY SAID HE WOULD NEVER MAKE IT BIG TIME WITH THAT VOICE SO JOHN TRIED ALL KINDS OF THINGS TRYING TO CHANGE HIS VOICE / UNTIL ONE DAY HE SAID TO HELL WITH THIS CHANGING HIS VOICE THING AND SAID THIS IS THE VOICE GOD GAVE ME AND THAT'S WHO I AM SO LETS GET ON WITH IT . AND HIS GOD GIVEN VOICE IS UNMISTAKABLE / NO MAN HAS A VOICE LIKE JOHNNY CASH / R.I.P. OLD MAN / KEEP THE FAITH , JESUS SAVES / IF YOU TRY TO DO ANYTHING IN LIFE WITH OUT GOD ALL MIGHTY IN IT, YOU WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED / WORK IT OUT WITH JUST HIM AND YOU / ONCE YOU PUT YOUR HAND TO THE PLOW NEVER LET GO
Ohhhhh Gene Hackman...now THAT was a western movie
One of the greatest
Appreciate y’all
Likewise!
The man on the right looks like Kris Kristofferson if he got smacked with a frying pan on both sides of his face . 🤣🤣🤣
they didnt even use a sexy woman voice to steal your stuff? thats cold
Exactly
Peel, was hampered in his draw by the woman holding his arm. Bull, was a paper tiger that took advantage of others when they were not ready for a fight.
I would assume that if you lived the life as they did in those days, you would have to always look for the advantage. Bill the butcher believed in a fair fight, an Irish chap walked into the bar and shot him. He beat their Irish champion in a boxing match, Bill a man of English descent who was not ready, he should have been.
I wanna know more about the mutual fart smelling between John Bull and that Moon guy.
Awesome mate! Good show!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't think of the movie but I remember a western with a character named English Bob sounds like was based on John bull
My father was a 1928 model
Nice
How about an episode on Bill Williams? The real life Josie Wales?
Good suggestion
"The 'Duck of Death"!
Fun fact - English Bob was born in Limerick, served in the Confederate cavalry, and did a stint in the Pennsylvania coal mines before heading west.
English Bob or John Bull?
@@WildWestExtravaganza The person in the phot of course.
Fun fact - English Bob was a made up character in a movie of course.
@@paulshell1729 Of course he was. You may want to look up Richard Harris' movie career.
This was great loved it tough fucker there I love the old gunfighters
I love that saying and that 19th century wit. We call him Farmer for the same reason we call a bald-headed man curly and a fat man or a large man tiny.
Hell yeah I love Guy Clark
He’s great
Thanks Josh, Love the new logo. Enjoyed this short but sweet one on Mr. Bull. Till next time, and I will beware the imposters...AI voice such a D-bag.
Thanks man
Hell yes!!
All these puns from quacks should be Unforgiven
There's some hon-yock wanting to rag on You for pronouncing it warshington Josh. I think that he is just another of the Great Unwarshed ! Thanks for sharing Your efforts.
Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
Duck , the Duck 🦆 of Death 💀
