I've never, in the vast history of Allen streams, seen this man leave happier than he arrived. John, your infectious positivity has reached new heights.
“It’s principle!!” 😂 This conversation was fantastic. I’ve only just found Allen recently and love his passion and sense of humor. We do not value anything that we can’t stick a dollar sign on. He’s right on that. It relates to the UA-cam issue that he talks about. Your positivity and passion for stories is infectious, John. Thank you!
Allen is so right, your relentless positivity and hype is just so infectious, John! I absolutely loved this chat, you two got me through a rough day ❤And YES, nothing but truths, we all adore Allen!
1:01:21 ALLEN! SPEAK LOUDLY! Oh man, I love that rant. It’s so true. That entire talk about education is brilliant. I love it. This was so much fun to watch.
Team Replay all the way from India here. This was even better than I expected, and i expected it to be great. Allen smiling and cheerful at the beginning and the end - chapeau to your positivity, John. Can't wait for episode Talking Theatre Ad nauseum on Allen's channel.
Of all the booktubers I follow and watch, I take incredibly few's recommendations onboard, Allen is one of those few and with the exception of Black Company have all been hits with me.
@@Talking_Story yeah he got me into KJ Parker, Daniel Abraham, Greatcoats, Books of Babel (I still have to continue that series) and Adrian Tchaikovsky (I also have to continue Shadows of the Apt)
@@Talking_Storyhoneslty so cool to see you guys chatting. You’ve both recommended or got me into a couple top reads between Fitz trilogy and Imperium by Robert Harris. You guys vibed this entire time and it was awesome to watch/listen to
Two lovers of books and theater, I couldn't miss watching it, but only in the morning with coffee.😀☕ I just realized now that you and I are the same age. I was born on September 12, 1965. 🤣😄 I look ten years older than you😃
The life of Cesar Augustus is so intriguing if you’re interested in Roman history there are two books that I’ve read on this particular subject that cover this period first one is Augustus by Adrian Goldsworthy and Pax Romana by the same author great history books.
As a high school science teacher i was right there with you until you went off the deep end about Pluto and STEM schools. Also, NASA had nothing to do with Pluto being reclassified
@@Talking_Story those classifications comefrom the International Astronomical Union. Pluto was reclassified because astronomers needed more accurate/useful ways to classify objects in space. The dwarf planet category was created for objects that fit a certain set of qualifiers and Pluto fell in that category. Other branches of science do this kind of thing all the time when new data is acquired.
@@bmike3000 so it is still a planet. Just a planet now with a descriptive “dwarf” put in there? I guess you could use the full term or just say planet. Kinda like how I keep calling X Twitter. I guess we can all have what makes us comfy 😀
I learned to tie my shoes very late as well. I read from the age of three and I started to learn English at the age of four. Is there any correlation between tying shoes and reading? Hmmm… 😂

People arguing about whether Pluto is a planet or not, when he's clearly a cartoon dog.

ALL TIMER
What book was being referred to towards the end regarding the buddy read?
@@abcdeqwerty123 Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon
@@Talking_Story Thank you. I'll have to check it out .. but only if Allen does too.
@@abcdeqwerty123 the read along will be happening in the new year I hope

@@JohnfromNY89 thanks you I will check those out.
As a high school science teacher i was right there with you until you went off the deep end about Pluto and STEM schools. Also, NASA had nothing to do with Pluto being reclassified
@@bmike3000 I am sure there are some great STEM schools out there. Where did the reclassification of Pluto come from?
Hahahahahaha WHY WOULD ANYONE RECLASSIFY IT
@@Talking_Story those classifications comefrom the International Astronomical Union.
Pluto was reclassified because astronomers needed more accurate/useful ways to classify objects in space. The dwarf planet category was created for objects that fit a certain set of qualifiers and Pluto fell in that category.

Another great talking with Tubers John! Allen is always a great guest and I’m excited to see his comeback
@@DiggerdanReads yes the comeback must happen!
7:53 I want to read it but can't because it can't be found anywhere, Allen. The publisher/author need to reprint it again! 🥺
@@Zivilin which book?
@@Talking_Story Long Price Quartet
@@Zivilin you can get it. Just hard to find in a bind up. It is a series of novellas and those can be found I am pretty sure.
@@Talking_Story Not the bookstores here. The single piece volumes "A Betrayal in Winter" and "The Price of Spring" are missing. 😭
@@Zivilin noooooo
I learned to tie my shoes very late as well. I read from the age of three and I started to learn English at the age of four. Is there any correlation between tying shoes and reading? Hmmm… 😂
