Came over from your other channel and im so happy, i love history and i love your voice and sense of humour so score for me... Okay this was posted 6 months ago, i hope i haven't joined the bamdwagon too late but even if i have it seems ive got a lot of back log to go through

Basketball was invented in 1891 by this pe instructor James Naismith he kept athletes in a gym during cold weather in ways to keep shape he got 2 fruit baskets a soccer ball and made up some rules he put the baskets on the side of the gym balcony every time it went in a janitor had to retrieve it after that the baskets bottoms was cut out a year later the very first basketball game took place in Massachusetts,and this guy would eat lots of food and never get full it got attention of the townspeople so in ways to keep them entertained he would eat everything he saw including I think a cat a doctor took heed of this and tried to do some test he still couldn’t figure out why he wouldn’t get full and why afterwards he would fall into his chair and fall asleep after he ate he was suspected he had hyperthyroidism his name was tarrare this happened in 1789 at 17 he died in 98 14:25 that’s like my family my uncles name is Jeff,my cousins second husband name is Jeff,and her sons name is Jeffery from her first marriage they call him little Jeff while her husband is big Jeff

When I hear “January,” I immediately know what time of year is referenced. Hearing “15th” narrows it further. A date starting with “The 15th of…” tells me nothing about the time of year until the month is said. In writing, it doesn’t seem to affect the way I orientate myself in time. 🤷‍♀️✌️🇺🇸🍿

I know you're probably busy with your main channel, but I look forwards to the 6th part of this video 😊

come back dad

GO FUCK YOUR COMMERCIALS YOUTUBE

14:14 - Ha!! Marx was an amateur! George Foreman named five of his kids George Foreman.

Another fantastic video once again. The transitions between facts are a bit too quick and rough though. I would recommend giving a bit of silence before jumping into the next fact or counting each fact's number before telling it. Thanks 👍

Me: I’m gonna say it.

Decades: Don’t say it!

Me: Soccer…

Of course, boxer George Foreman outdid Marx by having five sons named George.

There’s an nba player council iv. Him and his 2 brothers have the same name after their dad

In Australia, we also call that game soccer, because we have 'the footy', or AFL.

Adolph Hilter, Musolini, josef stalin, and baraq obama are all war criminals that ironically recieved nobel peace prizes lol.

Yessss! Been so excited for the next episode and VTH reaction!

I agree, soccer is a word invented by Belzebub.

Soccer, soccer, soccer. See it’s not that bad.

All hail the mad lad fizhy and I have a question did Connor say the bad word soccer around you

Has anyone told you that you look like a blonder Daniel Radcliffe?

I know why Rumble would incite violence... upon radio DJs, it is the worse piece of music there is. Give me Tiny Tim's Tip Toe Through the Tulips any day. Yes, had to go look it up.

I have no evidence for this but I just think it’d be funny if Robert hated attending presidential functions due to boredom and took the excuse because he’d prefer to stay at home. 😂
