Speaker 1: ninety two of the Jordan Harbinger show. This is a

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly show. You know, one of the most impressive

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: things I've ever seen in my life is how other

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: professional basketball players he played with talk about Michael Jordan.

24
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a basketball fan or a

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Jordan fan. And believe me, I don't watch the NBA anymore.

26
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm not watching that crap. We'll get to that later

27
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: on today. I'm done, done, done supporting people who hate me.

28
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch a single game. But you are

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: old enough, undoubtedly to know who Michael Jordan is mostly

30
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: the greatest basketball player of all time. And what I

31
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: find so impressive is other players from other sports wore

32
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's gear, and other NBA players we're scared to

33
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: death of him, really good ones scared of him on

34
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: the basketball court. That amazes me. I'll never forget. I

35
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: watched that great documentary they did. I think ESPN did

36
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: it shockingly. It's called The Last Dance. It's about Michael

37
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Jordan's bulls and whatnot, and they did a little side

38
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: story about Jordan on the Dream Team. The Dream Team, remember,

39
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: was the greatest players in the NBA, many of the

40
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: greatest of all time, we decided we weren't ever going

41
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: to lose the Olympics again, Let's go ahead and send

42
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: our really good basketball players over there. And it was

43
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: all of them, Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Patrick,

44
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: they were all. They were all there. And there was

45
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: a practice where somebody started talking trash to Michael Jordan

46
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: when they were scrimmaging. I think it was Magic Johnson

47
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: was talking trash to Michael Jordan, and Jordan goes ape

48
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: and slaughters everybody, just just of his team wins. He

49
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: scores like the next twelve points something like that just

50
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: dominates everybody. And Magic was talking after the fact about

51
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: how everybody just realized, oh, we can't make this guy mad,

52
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: and you could tell he was like, WHOA. It's one

53
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: thing to be admired. It's one thing for people to

54
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: think you're good, for the average Joe to think you're good.

55
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: It's another thing, entirely for the people who do what

56
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: you do really really well and they think you're a god.

57
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: I find Alexander the Great Alexander the Great to be

58
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: so incredibly interesting, mainly for that reason. He had all

59
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: the people who came after him admire him, and I

60
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: mean some of the greatest generals leaders of all time.

61
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: Men you could make an argument are greater generals than him,

62
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Huge egomaniacs who will und outedly tell you that the

63
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: greatest thing since sliced bread, and when they're asked, they're like, oh, oh,

64
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: Alexander's the best. Hannibal Barka. Do you know how much

65
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: I love Hannibal? Second Punic War. Hannibal, guy who was

66
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: in Italy beating the crap out of Rome when Rome

67
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: was really strong. Dude was a total stud gets himself

68
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: in a conversation later on in his life when his

69
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: prime years are passed and he's asked by Scipio, a

70
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: general who ended up beating him, Scipio Africanus. He and

71
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: Scipio are having a conversation. I would love to have

72
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: been a fly on the wall in that room. They're

73
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: having a conversation, and Scipio asked him who were the

74
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: greatest generals of all time? You could easily make an

75
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: argument that Hannibal is the greatest general of all time.

76
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: You could with what he did, with what he had,

77
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: with who he beats. It's just amazing what he did.

78
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: And Hannibal considered himself to be incredible. It's not as

79
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: if he's some meek and mild humble man. Well, I'm

80
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm just just a guy, Hannibal says

81
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: to Scipio without hesitation, Oh, Alexander. Caesar Augustus goes to

82
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: visit Egypt, where Alexander was buried, insists on going to

83
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: see Alexander's tomb. When asked if he wants to go

84
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: see the other pharaohs and royals who'd been buried there,

85
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: he said, I came here to see a king, not

86
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of corpses. That's awesome. How why? What was it? Well,

87
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: Alexander's one of those rare times in human history that

88
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: he's essentially a human science experiment. What I mean by

89
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: that is if you were if you were building a robot,

90
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: and you had the ability to build a robot and

91
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: make it do whatever you wanted to do. That's what

92
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: it's like with Alexander. If you had to build a general,

93
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: a leader of men, smart, brave, all these things, you

94
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: would do exactly what Alexander did. You would have him

95
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: go through what Alexander went through. You would give him

96
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: that father, you would give him that mother, and this

97
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: is the story behind that. First of all, let's talk

98
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: about Greece pre Alexander Greece, right before Alexander Greece. We

99
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: talk about ancient Greece a lot, because they're so influential

100
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: in the history of the world and so influential in

101
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: Western society. And you know that. What are the two

102
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: city states? You know, of course everybody, Athens and Sparta.

103
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: You know them. Shoot, I've talked about both of them

104
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: plenty of times. You know them. And we just considered

105
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: that Greece. But understand what city states were. They were

106
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: very much their own countries. We call it Greece, and

107
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: they considered themselves all Greek. They did not consider themselves

108
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: the same, They did not consider themselves friends. For the

109
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: most part, they considered themselves superior to the others. Calling

110
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: all of ancient Greece just Greece would be like calling

111
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: all the European nations just Europe. Oh it's one country,

112
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: you No, No, there's individual nations inside of it. That's

113
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: what it was like. And they often often fought each other,

114
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: and of course, the two big ones, the guiding lights,

115
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: Athens and Sparta were at each other's throats. Often Alexander

116
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: the Great was not from Sparta, he was not from Athens.

117
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: He was from a place in the far northern end

118
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: of Greece called Macedonia or Macedonia, depending on where he

119
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: went to college. And you should know, Macedonia was not

120
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: considered some kind of first rate power on the level

121
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: of Athens and Sparta. For most of Greece's history. They

122
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: were the rural hicks. They were considered to be extremely unsophisticated,

123
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: definitely by Athens standards. Athens, remember, those people considered themselves

124
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: enlightened and philosophers, and this is democracy, these things. Athens

125
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: and Sparta get themselves in jail just a little bit

126
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: of a tussle. That little tussle was called the Peloponnesian War,

127
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: and I was really exaggerating when I said little tussle.

128
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: It was a massive war that took forever between Sparta

129
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: and Sparta's people and Athens and athens people, And well,

130
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: they really should have been paying more attention to the north.

131
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: Your home title is probably the biggest financial exposure you have.

132
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, I mean how

133
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: big of a deal is that if somebody steals your wallet.

134
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: It's a pain right. Maybe they run up a few

135
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: hundred bucks on your credit cards, steal the fifty you

136
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: got in there, call it a day. Your home title

137
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: is a bit bigger of a deal, and your home

138
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: title exists online now it is digital. These cyber thieves

139
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: are out there prowling the internet as we speak, as

140
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: you sit here hearing my voice, they're looking for your

141
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: home title, they're looking for mine. If they find it,

142
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: they're going to jacket. They're gonna forge your signature on it,

143
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: take a loan out against it, and you have to

144
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: pay that loan back. Go to home title lock dot

148
00:11:51,280 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: Kelly backs in. Athens and Sparta should have been paying

149
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: attention to Macedonia because they had a young man up

150
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: there by the name of Philip the second. And this

151
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: dude wasn't playing games. This dude was a violent, highly

152
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: intelligent individual, and he decided he was going to take

153
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: all the things Athens and Sparta were doing. You know,

154
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: the phalanx. In case you don't, let's let's talk about

155
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: that briefly. A phalanx. Was this the movie three hundred,

156
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: how they were fighting, that's a phalanx. The phalanx was Greeks.

157
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: Rome used this tube at Rome changed it and advanced

158
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: it quite a bit. But the Greeks would stand shoulder

159
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: to shoulder, hold their shields up with spears six foot

160
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: spears sticking out the end of it. Now, it had

161
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: some humongous disadvantages. It was not very mobile, it was

162
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: not very fast. It was extremely vulnerable from the sides

163
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: and from behind. It also wasn't very good on ground

164
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: that wasn't level. As you can imagine, it's hard to

165
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: stay side by side. It's just hard to keep the formation.

166
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: So I realized those are a lot of disadvantages to

167
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: list off. However, the advantages are this virtually impregnable from

168
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: the front and deadly. How in the world do you

169
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: get through it from the front. If I even get

170
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: by your spears without taking one in the face, I'm

171
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: just gonna slam against your shields and you have a

172
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: helmet on behind it. How am I supposed to get

173
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: through that? And that's how the Greeks fought. They fought

174
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: in a phalanx formation. Well, Philip, he looks at the

175
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: phalanx and he has an idea, one of the simplest

176
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: ideas I've ever heard in my entire life. Would I

177
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: tell you how he changed and advanced past all the

178
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: rest of the Greeks. You're going to laugh. I certainly did,

179
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: because you want to know, right, I mean, how, Okay,

180
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: he's a good general, that's fine. How does he get

181
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: to a point where he can just beat the crap

182
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: out of all the rest of Greece? He made his

183
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: spears longer. I'm not making that up. That's all he did.

184
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: So he did. How does this not occur to anybody else?

185
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm really curious no one else looked at the spear

186
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: and thought, man, what if we made it longer? And

187
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: when I stay longer, I mean longer twelve foot fifteen

188
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: foot spears. And you don't exactly have to be a

189
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: wartime genius to figure out if I can stab them

190
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: six feet before they're able to stab me, that's quite

191
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: an advantage. And it was. And by the time Athens

192
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: and Sparta were done beating each other up, they were

193
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: both whittled down to the nubs. Philip was on the rise,

194
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: took his Macedonian army and essentially conquered Greece, conquered it

195
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: by this point. As he's conquering Greece, he has a son,

196
00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: a teenage son who leads his armys, a general in

197
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: his armies. As a teenager, when your dad is Philip

198
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: the Second, you learn how to be a general. And

199
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: he also had some tutoring on the side. Do you

200
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: know who Alexander the Great's private personal tutor was? Aristotle?

201
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: On my life, I'm not making that up. Aristotle tutored

202
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: Alexander the Great personally, just one on one. And Alexander

203
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: the Great's mother was an interesting woman. Her name was Olympius.

204
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: I would love to have met Olympius. She quite possibly evil,

205
00:16:53,680 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: definitely hard on Alexander, but very protective of Alexander and

206
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: protective of the fact that Alexander was the heir to

207
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: Philip's throne. Now, Olympius was by all accounts an extremely strong,

208
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: strong willed woman, tough to get a handle on. She

209
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: was a follower of the ancient god Dionysus. And I'm

210
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: not going to go into the details of that because

211
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: it's a family show, but just understand there was a

212
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: bit of a bit of free love going on if

213
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: you were a follower of Dionysus. I don't know whether

214
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: that intrigued Philip, because again, he was a king who

215
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: was making making the rounds himself. I don't know whether

216
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: it angered Philip. I don't know whether the fact that

217
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: her strong willedness that's definitely not a word, but I

218
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: just used it anyway. I don't know whether that angered him.

219
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: But at some point in time, Philip decides to divorce Olympius.

220
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: Well that's a big, big deal. If you're Olympius. You've

221
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: raised this boy with Philip to be the heir to

222
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: the Macedonian throne, which at this point would make him

223
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful people on earth. You want

224
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: him to have that throne. Not only does Philip divorce you,

225
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: he essentially runs you and Alexander out of town for

226
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: a time. You're concerned about your position Philip. Philip finds

227
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: himself a new young lady he would like to wed.

228
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: Philip has this wedding. I guess by now Olympius and

229
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: Alexander were welcome back. But Philip gets nice and drunk

230
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: at the wedding, and then somebody we'll never know who,

231
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: for some reason, walks up to Philip and slips a

232
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: knife in between his ribs assassinates him at the wedding

233
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: face Stival and then the assassin. The assassin is not apprehended.

234
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: The assassin is killed almost immediately. Just the heads up,

235
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: that's not something that's done. You always capture the assassin,

236
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: and the bodyguards would have known to capture the assassin

237
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: because you want to find out why he did it.

238
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Who's he working for? This one, however, didn't make it

239
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: out alive and we will never ever know. Oops, Philip's dead.

240
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: Oh what's that? He died before he was able to

241
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: make another son with the new bride. Oh, well, guess

242
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: Alexander's gonna take over. And just so you know, Alexander

243
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: takes over and promptly has every other potential air even

244
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: though nobody had a claim like he did, promptly has

245
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: all of them killed. Alexander gets a historical bad rap

246
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: for that. And I'm certainly not praising him for coming

247
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: into office and murdering anybody who could challenge him for

248
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: the throne. I'm not saying that's a good thing. Obviously,

249
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: I would recommend you never murder anybody. I certainly don't

250
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: want to. However, it was what they did back then

251
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: that was as common as breathing when the king took

252
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: over throughout history. When a man takes power, especially in

253
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: these monarchies, he likes to make dang sure there's not

254
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: another potential air plotting behind his back to slip a

255
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: knife into his ribs. Well, Alexander really really made sure. Now,

256
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Alexander has been brought up by a general, by a

257
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: mother who was hard on him. If I remember correctly,

258
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: Alexander thought he was you know, he descended from Hercules.

259
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: They put these kind of thoughts. His mother put these

260
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: kind of thoughts in his head. You are invincible, You

261
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: are like a god. You are that. It was really

262
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: over the top. Again, don't raise your kids that way.

263
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: But remember what I said, He's like a human science experiment.

264
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: If you want to raise someone who's going to conquer

265
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: the world, this is how you would raise them. And

266
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: Alexander got busy. I need my earbuds to be comfortable.

267
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: You know how often I use earbuds. It's all the time.

268
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: It is all the time. When I'm not speaking to

269
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: you on the air or on TV, I have earbuds

270
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: in my ears. Listening to audio, various bits of audio

271
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: information music, Listen to a lot of music, listen to

272
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: a lot of podcasts. But my earbuds have to be

273
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: comfortable or they're going to hurt. My ears are going

274
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: to be shot by the end of the week, by

275
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: the end of the day. I could say a lot

276
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: of things, a lot of great things about my Raycon

277
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: Eat twenty five earbuds. They sound incredible, They pair Bluetooth.

278
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: Could not be any easier pairing the things. The bass

279
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: sounds good, the voices. But the best thing I can

280
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: say about these things, they're comfortable. I can wear them

281
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: all day. Go to buy Raycon dot com slash jesse.

282
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: That's by Raycon dot Com slash Jesse. That gets you

283
00:22:45,720 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: fifteen percent off your earbuds. Alexander the Great takes over

284
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: the greatest Army well as we're about to find out

285
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: in the world, and let's pay homage to fill up

286
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: the second. Alexander the Great gets a whole lot of credit.

287
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it. I'm not

288
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: saying he doesn't. That's a double negative, isn't it. Chris.

289
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: I don't think you're supposed to say that are you

290
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: supposed to say that everyone knows what I mean? Here's

291
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: the question. Though everyone knows I'm went to community college.

292
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm uneducated, all right, So I understand that may not

293
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: be proper English. But if everybody understands what I'm saying,

294
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: why does it matter? That's exactly my point. Language is

295
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: just a way I'm trying to communicate something the audience

296
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: has learned by this point in time, Chris, You're gonna

297
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: have to walk with me through things. Believe me when

298
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: I tell you, I'm not going to use bigger words

299
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: than you understand. Why because I don't know them. We're

300
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: not going to use superlatives. What are superlatives? I'm not

301
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: even kidding. What's a superlative? Never mind? Just if you

302
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: could print off the definition of superlative please so we

303
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: know it for tomorrow, because then I'm gonna use the

304
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: words superlative tomorrow. Mark my words, I'm gonna use it

305
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: on the show, and I'm gonna act like I totally

306
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: know what it was and I've known forever. It's gonna

307
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: be hilarious, and only the faithful we'll pick up on it.

308
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome. Print me the definition Chris. Anyway,

309
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Alexander doesn't deserve the credit for all

310
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: the things he did, but let's understand this. He took

311
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: over a bunch of studs. He took over something that

312
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: wasn't that common back in this time. He took over

313
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: a professional army. Now, the Spartans obviously had a professional army,

314
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: that's all they did, but most of the ancient world

315
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: didn't have professional armies. That's part of what set the

316
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: Assyrians apart. Who came before this. Remember when we talked

317
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: about the Assyrians, I think it was last week, a

318
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: week before they had a professional army. These Macedonians were professionals.

319
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: They had the same equipment. They had training, lots of it,

320
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: and heavily experienced. They had just spent all their time

321
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: doing what conquering Greece and the Greeks could fight. Man,

322
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: the Greeks could really fight, as Xerxes found out when

323
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: he invaded Greece about one hundred years before this. Remember

324
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: the movie three hundred again A kid to keep going

325
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: back to that, but that took place about one hundred

326
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: years before this. Xerxes shows up with this huge He

327
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: figures out these Greeks are a bit more than he

328
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: can handle. For whatever reason, Greeks could fight, whether it

329
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: was a mentality thing, They're just the falanx, the spirit,

330
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: whatever it is that people can fight. Alexander takes over.

331
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: And this is a man who very much feels like

332
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: he has a destiny. That's such an overused cheesy word,

333
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: but there is no more appropriate way to describe it.

334
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: It's in all the writings Alexander. He takes off to

335
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: go fight Persia, and the accummutive Persian Empire at this

336
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: time is the biggest, most powerful empire on Earth. We

337
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: think about them now. Was the one Alexander slapped around,

338
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: but they are the most powerful empire on Earth. And Alexander,

339
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: without hesitation, without hesitation, gets his army and says, oh,

340
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: we're going after Persia. He feels like he has a

341
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: destiny to take over the world. It ends up getting

342
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: him in some trouble with his people. Will get to

343
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: that in a minute. That's what he feels like. He

344
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: takes off. If you're looking at a map, he takes

345
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: off towards Turkey. It was not Turkey at the time,

346
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 1: but I like to simplify things. Takes off towards Turkey,

347
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: fights a cool little battle called Grannacus, and he fights

348
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: the Persians really in the first major battle at Grannacus,

349
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: and he figures out really quickly, these Persians are soft.

350
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just that they were soft, that's what

351
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: he thought. They were amateurs. Persia had this gigantic, powerful

352
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: empire and they could pull man from everywhere, you know,

353
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: like like like the Brits did. Dude, We're gonna get

354
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: some of our guys from India, We'll get some of

355
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: our guys from Sudan, and we'll get some of our

356
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: guys from here, and some of our guys from there.

357
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: That's what Persia did because they had people everywhere, but

358
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: they were all amateurs. And the truth is you and

359
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: I've talked about this several times before, it's all about

360
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: your training and your level of technology. I don't care

361
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: how many guys you have. If they don't know what

362
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: they're doing. And I have some hyper disciplined Greek phalanx

363
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: locking shields moving together, protecting each other, you can't do

364
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: anything about it. And Alexander mops them up. He eventually

365
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: makes his way down to Egypt, and this is in

366
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: my opinion, where Alexander started to mentally kind of go

367
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: off the rails a little bit. Keep in mind, he's

368
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: twenty two years old when he's leading this army of

369
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: fifty thousand Greeks tearing through the Persian Empire like a

370
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: hot knife through. Butter gets down to Egypt and he

371
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: becomes obsessed with the Egyptians. He is not the first,

372
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: He's not the last. There's something about Egypt. I've never been.

373
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'll ever go, although I'd love

374
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: to go see all the history there, because there's just

375
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: absurdly cool history in Egypt. He's not the first, he's

376
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: not the last. That's happened to Romans too. It happened

377
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: to Mark Antony, it happened to Julius Caesar. There's something

378
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: about that place that's magical. I don't know what it is.

379
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: He gets to Egypt and becomes obsessed with the pharaohs

380
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: and the pyramids. He gets obsessed with oracles. There. He

381
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: loves people who I mean essentially palm readers, and he

382
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: loves going to these people, and they all tell him

383
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna see the world, You're gonna conquer the world,

384
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna conquer the world. One of them while he's there,

385
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: tells him he's gonna conquer the world but never return

386
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: home again, to which Alexander was like, Oh, that's fine.

387
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Alexander decides to found the capital of his new budding empire,

388
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: and Alexander totally respect this move, calls it Alexandria. Ha

389
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: ha ha, that's so great. What would be the capital name, Chris,

390
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: of my capital? It couldn't be Jessea. That sounds terrible.

391
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: It sounds like a chick capital. Yes, I have a

392
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: middle name, Chris. I'm not some psycho, And no, I'm

393
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: not going to tell you what it is. And I'm

394
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: dang sure not going to tell the million people listening

395
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: right now in the radio, because it's embarrassing. All right,

396
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't like it. It's not going to be don't

397
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: look it up right now. That's so disrespectful. Don't look

398
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: it up right now. It's definitely not going to be

399
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: the middle name. Maybe it would be Kellyopolis. That doesn't

400
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: sound right. It is embarrassing, Chris, It is embarrassing. That's

401
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: actually who I'm named after. That's the middle name. That's

402
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: who it's after. Too. Stopped looking up stuff. I don't

403
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: want you to look up. It's embarrassing, it's disrespectful. Quick

404
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: getting me sidetracked, all right. Whatever he founds Alexandria, he

405
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: names himself Pharaoh. Now this is where there starts to

406
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: be a wedge driven between him and his other generals.

407
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: Remember he is twenty two years old. He is leading

408
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: an army with generals much much, much older than him.

409
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: And remember these generals are not people who are just

410
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, they're in the rear general's stapling papers. These

411
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: are accomplished battlefield generals, proud to be Macedonian. This young

412
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: buck proven himself to be pretty capable thus far, definitely brave,

413
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: seems to have his stuff together. We'll stick with him

414
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: naming himself Pharaoh. It's getting getting uncomfortable. Now, now it's

415
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: getting uncomfortable. He marches on by. Now the Persians, they're

416
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: a little bit intimidated. Hang on, feeling a little stocky.

420
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: I made. So believe me, I'm not judging you. You

421
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: need a good night's sleep, every single night. We make

422
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: this mistake all the time when we're not sleeping. Of ah,

423
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: I finally got one. It's the first one in three

424
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: or four nights. Who glad, I'm all caught up. Feel

425
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: better today. That's not how the body and the mind work.

426
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 1: You need one every single night, and you can have

427
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: one every night without sleeping pills, without some stupid mouthpiece.

428
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: You can have one if you go get an EBB sleep.

429
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: Ebb Sleep works. It targets those racing thoughts going through

434
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: The King of Persia, Darius, is very very very concerned.

435
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: Why because Alexander has already taken over the entire western

436
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: portion of his empire. And this is where he screws

437
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: up big time. People say, and I actually disagree. What

438
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: he does is this, He sends Alexander an offer, and

439
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: the offer, the initial offer is very insulting, very looking

440
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: down his nose at Alexander as if he's just some

441
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: idiot who happened to stumble in and get a couple

442
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: lucky wins. Alexander laughs it off. The king then sends

443
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: a second offer, much nicer than this time, but still

444
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: not that nice. Alexander says, nah, we're going to war.

445
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: Then he sends a third offer, and this one is

446
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 1: a real, real sweet pie. It's everything you'd ever want

447
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: and one of my favorite little history stories. One of

448
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: Alexander's generals was named Parmenian, and Parmenian Alexander discusses all

449
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: the stuff. He's very close with his generals. He discusses

450
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: he's discussing the offer, and Parmenian says about the third offer,

451
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: the nice one. He says, if I were Alexander, I

452
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: should accept what was offered and make a treaty, and

453
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: Alexander says back to him, so should I if I

454
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: were Parmenian. M that is salty, but it does again,

455
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: it gives you a window into the man. The reason

456
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't blame Darius for blowing this whole thing with

457
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: an insulting first offer is doesn't that quote tell you

458
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: all you need to know? Alexander feels like it's his

459
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: destiny to rule the entire world destiny. Destiny does not

460
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: stop for a good sounding treaty, So Alexander sends him

461
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: a message back essentially says, yeah, I'll be seeing you

462
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: on the field of battle. And Darius knows he essentially

463
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: has one shot left at this or he's going to

464
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: officially lose the greatest empire in the world, the Persian Empire,

465
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: and he gathers all the troops on hand. The battle

466
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: is called the Battle of Galgamella, and we're getting into

467
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: the fuzzy numbers phase. You know how much it drives

468
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: me nuts, but it is what it is. We know Alexander,

469
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: at least we think he had around forty seven thousand

470
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: troops at this point in time, mostly infantry. He had

471
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: some outstanding cavalry, which that's what he was part of,

472
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: but but like seven thousand cavalry, the rest mostly infantry.

473
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: Darius has two hundred and fifty thousand troops against Alexander's

474
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: forty seven thousand, and there are estimates out there that

475
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: Darius had up to a million. We have no idea.

476
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: And then there are estimates out there that say Darius

477
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: had one hundred thousand. How in the world can you

478
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: be off by nine hundred thousand. I get that there

479
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: are ancient sources. Nobody could give you a rough estimate

480
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: better than that. It's unbelievable, but they line up across

481
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: the field from each other. Obviously, Alexander, as we've talked about,

482
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: has the professional superior force as far as fighting goes. However,

483
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: that old Napoleon line proves true often, that Napoleon line

484
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: of quantity has a quality all its own. I don't

485
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: care how superior they are. When you're outnumbered five to one,

486
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: at least it gets difficult. And are there are plenty

487
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: of stories out there that Alexander almost loses this battle.

488
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: Do no fault of his own, there's just too many.

489
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: Darius brings out these scithe chariots, chariots with like something

490
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: out of the movies, chariots with essentially big blades on

491
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: the wheels so they can ride through and cut down

492
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: your guys. That what an ugly way to go. Alexander,

493
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: of course, is brilliant beyond belief. He has his infantry

494
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: spread way out in an open formation instead of saying

495
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: bunched up, so the chariots can't really get to them.

496
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: Because his men spread out, they throw javelins at the

497
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: chariots on the way by Alexander, as he often did.

498
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: This is why he's practically worshiped. Throws himself into the

499
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: maw the teeth of the battle every time. He was

500
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: suicidally brave. Cannot believe he actually lived through all this stuff,

501
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: almost died several times. In fact, he's actually he actually

502
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: has his life saved. I think his name was Cleidas.

503
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: That's a really named Chris. I don't know. It's a

504
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: funny name. Whatever. He has his life saved by one

505
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: of his good friends, Clidas. At this battle, Alexander almost died,

506
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: and then of course Alexander killed Clidas later on at

507
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: a banquet over a drunken argument, shoved a spear through

508
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: his heart. Alexander was a bit bit of a violent person.

509
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: They beat Darius, they defeat the Persians. They do some

510
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: mop up work after this, and now Alexander is king

511
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: of the Persian Empire as well, and really takes to

512
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: it again, takes to it a little bit too much.

513
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: This is part of the rumor mill where people say

514
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: Alexander was poisoned. Alexander divorces and marries a Persian bride

515
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: and forces his generals to divorce their Greek wives and

516
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: marry Persian women. Persian women aren' kind of hot, because

517
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: don't get me distracted, all right, hanging, I love how

518
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: easy it is to work. Was simply safe, and this

519
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: is what I mean. I wanted a home security system.

520
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: I did not want to have to wait on hold.

521
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: I did not want to have to set aside a

522
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: four to eight hour window for the technician to show

523
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: up one day. I didn't want to sign a contract.

524
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted home security. But I needed it to

525
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: be good, right. I needed it to be professionally monitored.

526
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: I need police, I need fire, I need medical, I

527
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: need emergency dispatch services like that. I need it to

528
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: be monitored. Twenty four seven. I get that was simply safe,

529
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: And all I had to do was go online. Simply

530
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: safe dot com slash jesse. Just go online, pick out

531
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: what you want, they mail it to you, You open

532
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: the box, place the sensors, plug it in, and that's

533
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 1: all you're set. Simply safe dot com slash Jesse, simply

534
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: safe dot com slash Jesse. Alexander's people are starting to

535
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: take an issue with him not really wanting to be

536
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: a Greek anymore. Nevertheless, he's done right. He's the King

537
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: of Macedonia. He just conquered the greatest empire in the world.

538
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: Time to put your feet up in chill. Well, no,

539
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: that's what you would do. That's what I would do.

540
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: I probably would have chilled. After the first peace offer

541
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: offer from the king, Alexander keeps looking east and thinking, well,

542
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: there still lands to conquer. Alexander starts storming through Afghanistan.

543
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: Alexander storms into India, jungle fighting, and finally Alexander manages

544
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: to run into something, something he can't conquer. Hang on

545
00:42:43,760 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: one second, you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. This

546
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly Show. Alexander gets over to India,

547
00:43:54,239 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: gets to the Himalayan Mountains, and finally his generals say enough,

548
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: this has to stop. Enough we miss home. Let's go

549
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: back home no more. Alexander reluctantly agrees. At the age

550
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: of thirty three, finds himself in Babylon, where he gets

551
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: extremely sick, takes a matter of days horrible fever, he's

552
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: in agony and dies. Nobody knows to this day how

553
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 1: Alexander died. Nobody does. Obviously, a bunch of people think

554
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: he was poisoned. I personally think he was poisoned, but

555
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I'm right. That's just when you look

556
00:44:55,120 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: at how he rose to power, when you look at

557
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 1: what happened after he died. Would all these generals immediately

558
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: divided up the kingdom and started fighting each other and

559
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: backstabbing and assassinations and traders and switching sides. It's just

560
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: such a treacherous group of human beings, and they were unhappy.

561
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: I think Alexander was killed. But be that as it may,

562
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: how cool is the legacy of Alexander the Great died

563
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: at thirty three years old. If I died at thirty

564
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: three years old, I mean, my legacy'd be almost as

565
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: good as that. What Chris, they'd be right up there.

566
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna talk about me for generations, Chris, generations, But

567
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: they fall the mighty Rye is in the mighty fall.

568
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: But leaving behind a legacy like that is really really

569
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: cool in my opinion. By the way, I should note

570
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: Chris printed off the information on superlative. I still have

571
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: no idea what this means. Adjective as an adjective, it says,

572
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: I'm just reading this, don't yell eight seven seventy three,

573
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: seven seven four three seventy three eight seven seven three

574
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: seven seven four three seventy three. Adjective. It says of

575
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: the highest kind, quality, or order, surpassing all else or others,

576
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: supreme extreme, like superlative wisdom. Oh so it's just like

577
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: a lot of something like I would be superlative awesome.

578
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: Is that Does that work? Chris? Is that not how?

579
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how to use the word. I still

580
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: don't understand what any of this means to the utmost degree.

581
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: And then it's semi colon acme. These definitions don't clarify anything,

582
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: Michigan Governor. We're actually going to get to quite a

583
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: bit of news today, because I feel like I've been

584
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: abandoning the headlines quite a bit, and I go off

585
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: on these weird tangents and tell these stupid stories and

586
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: I forget about actual news and analysis. So let's dig

587
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: into some of this now. I'm just gonna churn through

588
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: a bunch of these headlines. Michigan's governor was caught on

589
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: a hot mic saying it's shark week, mother effort. She

590
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: obviously spelled out the word effort in a way that

591
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: we will not do here on this family show. Okay, one,

592
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: this is not some controversy. Almost all these politicians tuss

593
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: like sailors behind the scenes. All of them gotta be

594
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: careful what the hot mic boys and girls at all times.

595
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: Be careful. Not a big deal. But we do need

596
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: to talk about shark Week for just a moment. One.

597
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: As you know, I've said it before, I will say

598
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: it again. I can't stand these people who come on

599
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: after a shark attack, when someone was bitten in half

600
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: and say things like it was probably just a case

601
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: of mistaken identity, as if that's supposed to be some

602
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: comfort to the person who's missing their legs, or some

603
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: comfort at the time when you're being eaten. Oh, it's

604
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: no big deal. He probably just thinks of a seal.

605
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: Why do his intentions matter to me at all? If

606
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: the eating machine is so stupid it can mistake me

607
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: for a seal. That makes me more scared, not less scared.

608
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: He's not only dead, he's an idiot. That's one. Two.

609
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something. You're gonna get upset. It's gonna

610
00:48:52,840 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: be controversial. It's still one hundred percent true. Week is

611
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: totally overrated. It's totally overrated because everything you can do

612
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: has been done. I love sharks as much as you

613
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 1: love sharks. I think they're really cool and scary and awesome.

614
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: I think it's all it's all good. Right, What are

615
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: they doing? What are you seeing in Shark Week that

616
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: you didn't see before? Now we have stupid things. Remember

617
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: they did that thing where Michael Phelps race the shark,

618
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: but then, of course he didn't race the shark. He

619
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: did a swim for distance of the shark. That it

620
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: was the stupidest thing in the world. They have to

621
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 1: add some stupid fluff now at all times. They did

622
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: something I don't know if it was last year or

623
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: two years ago, where they essentially did a documentary about

624
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: some mega shark that's still out there, and it turned

625
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: out they just made the whole thing up. It it's

626
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: just like a TV show. They didn't really tell you.

627
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: It was just a made up TV show thing for

628
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: Shark Week. The truth is this, once they filmed the

629
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: sharks leaping out of the water to eat those seals,

630
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,919
Speaker 1: you remember that, Chris. This was five six years ago,

631
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: probably at least, that was the end of it for

632
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: Shark Week. That's the bad news. The good news is this,

633
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: I have a solution. We have sharks. We love sharks,

634
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: were fascinated by sharks, were scared of sharks. But we

635
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: can't get them to do anything else because there's nothing

636
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 1: else to do. Okay, let's set that aside. We also

637
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: have over one thousand Isis prisoners in the world at

638
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: this time. What, Chris, you see where I'm going here?

639
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: If you really want to spice up Shark Week, why

640
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:12,479
Speaker 1: don't we feed Isis prisoners to the sharks. What? No, Chris,

641
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: this is not the new gladiator theory. This is purely

642
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: for entertainment and justice, mixing themselves together. Think how sweet

643
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: that would be. Are we gonna get in trouble for this?

644
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: We might get in trove for this, but think how

645
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 1: sweet that would be. You go to that area where

646
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: the great white sharks are ripping the seals out of

647
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: the ground, you know where they come up underneath and

648
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: they grab the seals that they fly up. Instead, you

649
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: tie an Isis sky behind the boat, drag him through

650
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: the water, make sure it's all on camera, and let

651
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: the great whites bite them and lead leap out of

652
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: the water and rip them up. What you don't think

653
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: it would be good. I think we can do that.

654
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: Chris doesn't think we can do it. We have Look,

655
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: we have international waters, and I believe the pirate movies

656
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 1: that say you can basically do anything you want in

657
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: international waters. We can. Yes, we can do this. I'm

658
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: telling you we can do this. And look, if you

659
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 1: want to raise the money for charity or something like that,

660
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: that's fine. We give the money to those poor Yazdi

661
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: women who were absolutely tormented by these Isis. Guys, don't

662
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: remember the zed women. I'm not going to go into it, Chris.

663
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: The Isis people did. Let's keep in mind here Isis

664
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: they fed these women their own children Isis. We've had

665
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: this conversation before. They are the most evil people to

666
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: ever walk the face of the planet. They're more evil

667
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: the Nazis. They are, they just weren't as capable. So

668
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: you don't know it. I just saved Shark week and

669
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: I'm getting no respect for it whatsoever. Hang on, your

670
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: holster is way more important than you think it is.

671
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is.

672
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: What Look, and I get that the holsters not the

673
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, you want to

674
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to

675
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,760
Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about

676
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups.

677
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that

678
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean really really important. I'm

679
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,399
Speaker 1: not discounting that. But I've known so many people who

680
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps,

681
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from

682
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand

683
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one

684
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems

685
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing
