1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: Bold reverence and occasionally randomed. The Sunday Hang with Clay 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: and Buck podcast. It starts now play. I'm a coffee drinker. 3 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: I love coffee, and sometimes I like to just go 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: for a little stroll and get some of the morning. 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: It's kind of a ritual. I'll make it myself at 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: home some days. The other days I'd like to go 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: for a walk and in my neighborhood coffee place, which 8 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 2: is always bustling, they have not only do they ask 9 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 2: for a tip, but I believe it also has a 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: mandatory service charge added to your bill. So when you 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: get your pumpkin spiced oat milk latte with an extra 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: sprinkle of cinnamon, for example, not that either of us 13 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: would ever drink such a thing, but when you get that, 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: you are charged a twenty I think it's eighteen or 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: twenty percent service fee on the initial charge, and then 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: it asked you want to give an additional It's kind 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: of like in hotels, which I really, I really don't 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: like this. You know, they'll do like room service in 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: hotels a lot of the time, it'll say, you know 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: what tip are you going to give? Well, there's a 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 2: fifteen dollars service charge to bring you a cheeseburger on 22 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: a plate, right, so that's supposed to be the tip. 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: Pew did a bunch of polling on this, and the 24 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 2: American public, according to Pew Research on this new survey, 25 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: seventy two percent say they opposed businesses with automatic service 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: charges on bills. 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: What do you make of this. 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 3: Sirch, Tipping is out of control in this country, period, 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 3: And I think everybody out there listening, even people who 30 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 3: work in service industries and rely on tips, are seeing 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: that happen. For most of Lifebuck, you didn't have to 32 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 3: tip that often, except maybe you go to a restaurant. 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 3: You understood, hey, restaurant servers, they're making two three dollars 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: an hour or whatever it is, and so you're going 35 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: to tip on it. The first time that I really 36 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: saw this start to take off, and you may remember 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 3: this too, was they started asking you to tip when 38 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 3: you went and picked up your own food. Restaurants started 39 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 3: having to go. This is pre COVID restaurants would have 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: to go. And let's say you went to outback steakhouse 41 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 3: or something. You would walk up to the place and 42 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 3: they would have your food and you'd be asked to 43 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 3: tip on just pick literally picking up your food. And 44 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: now I every time I buy something, I feel like 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 3: I'm being asked to tip. Have you noticed this where 46 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: well you basically already getting charged. It doesn't even matter 47 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: where you are. They spin that thing around and it 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 3: automatically has like a default, and it's not even small tips. 49 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: It's like fifteen twenty sixty eight percent. You're like, well, 50 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: I mean this seems like a lot. 51 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: Well, also this thing of you're in a line of 52 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 2: people and the people behind you, let's say, and they 53 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: flip that tip screen spot. Yeah, you never want to 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: you know, you never know someone you know, somebody on 55 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 2: the other side of that counter might be having a 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 2: bad day and be like, oh, look at the big 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: spender over here. 58 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Guys, you know, zero tip. 59 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: Like, you know, say, there's a little bit of it 60 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: feels mildly coercive to around the tiply coercive. 61 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: I think it's almost completely coercive. Because I tip, I 62 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 3: feel fortunate to be able to do so. But given 63 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 3: how much prices have already gone up, the idea that 64 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 3: you're then going to be at the tip on top 65 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: of extraordinarily high prices oftentimes for people not actually doing anything. 66 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: Well, this is my one of my only things about 67 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: staying in any hotel is I mean I never have 68 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: like five or ten dollars in cash on me and 69 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: to I mean almost never. And so having cash on 70 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: hand to tip people is just charge me more money 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: or just or just run my credit card for fifty 72 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: bucks and give it to everybody who's gonna help me 73 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: with something. But but just you know, the tipping has 74 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: gotten out of control, folks. 75 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: That's about all Amen Sunday Sizzle with clay and buck. 76 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: Fun fact that burn the boats comes from hernand Cortes 77 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: and the invasion of the Aztec Empire, and not either one. 78 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: To know but where it came from. 79 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's that's generally. You know, you know, he 80 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: burned his ship so that the men couldn't leave. I 81 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: believe historians now think he actually scuttled the ships, but 82 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: then the legend became that they were burned, but that 83 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: they just sort of sunk them instead of trying to 84 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: burn them. 85 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: But I was thinking about this also yesterday. 86 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: Because you mentioned to burn the boat's thing, and we 87 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: had people writing in about my claim that no, that 88 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: Hannibal was one of the five greatest generals of all time. 89 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: I also mentioned Napoleon and someone wrote in Genghis Khan 90 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, there's there's some there's some 91 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: strong feelings out there about most impressive military commander in 92 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: the case of the Khan of the Khanate and Genghis 93 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: Khan in particularly, you're talking about, I mean mass destruction 94 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: of not just armies but civilians on a scale that 95 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: had never been seen before in human history. So that's 96 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: a that's a tough one, but incredible military machine. The Mongols. 97 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 3: Khan like, there's some insane percentage of his DNA that 98 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: this in much of that region of the world still 99 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: is as much as like one in sixteen people are 100 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: descended from Ginghis Khan in some way. 101 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: This I do not know. I've heard something along those lines. Yeah, 102 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: look that up. 103 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: You probably weren't expecting ginghis Khan genealogy, but it's some 104 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: unbelievable number of children that he individually and his family 105 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: obviously that his heirs have fathered throughout the course of 106 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: that region. I think it was like one in sixteen 107 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: in some parts of the world can directly trace their 108 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: descent to Ginghis Khan, which is kind of unbelievable to 109 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: think about it. 110 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 2: I also think if you're talking about the greatest generals 111 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: of all time, you do have to make a separation 112 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 2: into those who were four deployed combatants themselves versus those 113 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: who were strategic geniuses. A little bit, you know, you 114 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: start to get into like Alexander the Great was part 115 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: of cavalry charges, right, he would actually get into it Nepal. 116 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 3: You know. Actually you got me thinking now too, like 117 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 3: who is the greatest American general of all time? 118 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: This audience gets, we'll get our VIPs on email, because 119 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: when I have time for the calls on this, send 120 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: us your the greatest American general of all would you argue, 121 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 2: I think you'd get a lot of people who would say, 122 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: based on results, Douglas MacArthur has to be high on 123 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: the list. 124 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 125 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: I think people would argue that. Now others would say 126 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: that that's crazy. But there are definitely gonna be some 127 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: Douglas MacArthur people in the audience. On a skills basis, 128 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 2: you're going to get some people who say that for 129 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: outcome on the battlefield, Robert E. Lee was an incredible 130 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: strategic mind for this time. 131 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: That is just that is a fact. Of military history. 132 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: They will say that. 133 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you could no one's saying here, 134 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: you know, we're just talking about how good someone is 135 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: at generalship. 136 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: Who comes to mind for you. 137 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 3: From the American side, Well, it's gonna be even more 138 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 3: controversial because I think the most and again also the 139 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: possibility is are you talking about commanding general or someone 140 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: who had a core or someone who had a division 141 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: or so I'll give you a couple from the Civil War. 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: Nathan Bedford Forest, to me is probably the greatest cavalry 143 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: general that ever existed in maybe the world. And there's 144 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: some interesting stories buck again just talking military genius. If 145 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: you look at the way that Forrest fought his battles, 146 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: they're incredible. And one of the people who was most 147 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: impressed by Forrest reportedly was Rommel, who traveled pre World 148 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: War Two. You know, you study military history. 149 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to bring up that. You know, 150 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: Ramel wasn't you know, Nazi fighting World War Two. But 151 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: in terms of military strategic and tactical prowess, a lot 152 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: of military historians would say Rammel was one of the 153 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: great military tacticians of all time. 154 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: And that he came here and studied and walked the 155 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: battlefields of Nathan Bedford Forest to try to understand the 156 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: strategies that he deployed. Because if you see the topography, 157 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: if you are a military historian, anybody who studies history, 158 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: the topography of a battlefield was hugely important, uh, historically 159 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: to who won and who lost. 160 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: And I mentioned Hernan Cortes at the beginning and the 161 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: conquest of the Aztec Empire. I mean he arrived with 162 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: hundreds of men and managed to defeat an empire that 163 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: was had a human sacrifice in slavery by the way, 164 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: but the Aztec Empire, massive slave empire, actually you don't 165 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: hear about that, but defeated them and it was I 166 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: think they asked him in a couple of million people 167 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: he managed to just you know, it's an incredible story. 168 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 2: You could make an amazing television series about Cortes and 169 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: the Aztecs, but it would be very controversial. He was 170 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: a he was a rough dude, There's no question about it. 171 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 3: We've got some Gighis con updates. Let me also give 172 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: you a couple more civil war generals because people are 173 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: gonna be like Clay Travis praises, you know, Clay Travis 174 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 3: and Buck sexted praise Robert E. 175 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: Lee. 176 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: Yeah you're you're on you Oh yeah, I said Robert Lee. 177 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you're on your own. 178 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: Nathan bed Forrest, who had a checkered at best passed 179 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 3: after the Civil War, I would say George Thomas, who 180 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 3: was a Virginian who stayed loyal to the North. If 181 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: you look at what he did in the Western theater, 182 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 3: save the the Union army at Chickamauga and then later 183 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 3: basically wiped out Hood in the Battle of Nashville. One 184 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: of the most successful Union generals. That's probably under the radar. 185 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: And then the other one I would point to, and 186 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 3: again it goes to not only the strategic genius, but 187 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: being forward thinking enough to even try it. 188 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: Sherman. Uh. 189 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 3: The idea when Sherman decided to begin his march to 190 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: the Sea that his fami that his army could forage 191 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 3: off of the land without supply chains was a revolutionary idea. 192 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: Uh. 193 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 3: And obviously Sherman's ability to basically fight the will of 194 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: the Southern people to continue that war. You know who's 195 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: not a great general if you actually and I'm gonna 196 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 3: get people fired out here, are. 197 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: You throwing Grant under the bus here. No, no, I 198 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: actually think Grant. 199 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, George Washington, if you look at 200 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: George Washingington's. 201 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: Actually George kept the army together during very tough times. 202 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: You bite your tongue with that George talk. 203 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: You go look at George Washington on the battlefield as 204 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 3: opposed to uh. Certainly he was a genius at managing 205 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 3: and maintaining the revolution, but in terms of his on 206 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 3: the battlefield performance, not that good of it. 207 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: But he was an insurgent, and insurgents just have to 208 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: outlast the will of the enemy, which is what which 209 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: is what he did. So, okay, we have some Genghis updates. 210 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: And also if you want to say, okay, if you 211 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: want to wait and now we started the greatest generals, 212 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: we have a lot of news to get to. I 213 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: promise we'll get to that too. But eight hundred two 214 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: A two two a two. We got the military historians, 215 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: some of them, especially Clay.

Historians long 244 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: known that he had a ton of kids, But according 245 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 3: to a two thousand and three study in the American 246 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 3: Journal of Human Genetics, zero point five percent of the 247 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 3: world's male population is a descent of Ginghis Khan. Eight 248 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: percent of all men living in his former territory Buck 249 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: had his Y chromosome. So think about that one in 250 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: every two hundred people in men anyway that they can 251 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 3: trace through the Y chromosome, one in every two hundred 252 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 3: men is a descendant of Ginghis Khan and one in 253 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 3: every what is that? One in sixteen of every men 254 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: in the world area in which he conquered. That is unbelievable. 255 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: Now they said they knew he had a lot of kids. 256 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: Six i'ves untold number of concubines, But and it could 257 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 3: be I guess his son's as well. 258 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: Right. 259 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 3: I imagine that Genghis Khan had a lot of suns, 260 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 3: and that would obviously have continued as well, and they 261 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: were probably powerful and had a lot of. 262 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: It makes sense because when people, for example, are having 263 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: a speakerphone conversation at the coffee shop next to me, 264 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 2: I go full Genghis Khan on that so that I 265 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: might have some gang. Yeah, makes makes perfect sense. 266 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 3: And yes, the the amount of emails that are rolling in. 267 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 2: Right now, I can't I look at you.

Now in terms 282 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 3: of holding I mean on the battlefield, in terms of 283 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 3: holding together the revolution and the men in material the 284 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: armada aspect of the battle, he was very impressive. But 285 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 3: you got him on the field, right, you got him 286 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: in the ring. I don't think GW took a great 287 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 3: through a great punch or took a great punch he 288 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: just wasn't that good actually in combat leading troops. 289 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: I mean, its beenned, Nick Darnold talk over here. It's 290 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: all I can tell you. It's crazy. Crazy. 291 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Stonewall Jackson, the Valley Campaign, I was I was 292 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: talking about Nathan Bedford Forrest. Probably the greatest strategic military 293 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: campaign in in in our history is what Stonewall Jackson 294 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: did in the shenando A Valley, Uh, with the with 295 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: the with his army there. It's still unprecedented to this day. 296 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: What he accomplished incredibly brutal. 297 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: But Julius Caesar would be somebody you should also think 298 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: of as a as a a phenomenally accomplished military commander. 299 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: We think of him in a much more sort of 300 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: theatrical sense in getting stabbed and all that. Steve in 301 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: New York wants to throw a name into the mix 302 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: that we haven't talked about yet. 303 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: What's up, Steve? 304 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: How about General George Patton?

I mean, there's so many. 316 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: Patton is so good, so good, I mean, Braveheart, Gladiator 317 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: if you want to, I mean again, you can get into. 318 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: I was thinking more like military combat. I mean, Saving 319 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: Private Ryan is a phenomenal movie that holds up incredibly well, 320 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: incredibly well made, So that has to be on my list. 321 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 3: And there's lots of tell it like Band of Brothers obviously, 322 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: that are television series that are incredibly well done. But Patton, 323 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: that opening scene of Pattern when he walks out in 324 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 3: front of the American flag, I think is one of 325 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: the greatest scenes that's ever been filmed in American history. 326 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: People are shouting out Apocalypse. Now, there's a lot of movies. 327 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: I see. 328 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: I'm not a person, but we could talk.
