Oh, what a time is now on Patreon. You can get main feed episodes before everyone else, ad free,

plus access to our full archive of bonus content, two bonus episodes every month, early access

to live show tickets and access to the Oh Water Time group chat. Plus, if you become an Oh Water

Time All-Timer, myself, Tom and Ellis will riff on your name to postulate where else in

history you might have popped up for all your options you can go to patreon.com forward slash

oh what a time this is part two of our episodes on the first ladies of the US president.

But before we get into that, let's give you a little taste of the Patreon episodes we've got,

which is the bonus content.

If you're a Patreon, we do extra episodes on things that tickle our fancy off and books that we've read or maybe documentaries that we've watched. We've got other ideas coming up as well, clip ideas. Now, I've just read Mark Mazzar's Dark Continent, which is an amazing history of Europe in the 20th century. So let's hear a little bit of that. My ex went to Oxford.

And I think there is a thing.

Oxford and Cambridge,

you are taught to read in a particular way.

Yes, yeah, I remember that.

You read down the middle of the page

and you garner, you infer from the centre of the sentences

what the rest is.

The mind can fill in the gaps, basically. I would stay with you when you were going out with your ex and she could read far from the mudding crowd in about half an hour and it really was something to see. And Ellis and I would sit there and watch, wouldn't we? Yeah, we'd watch somebody read a book really quickly and be like, bloody hell. But it is remarkable. It's a bit like, remember that movie's short circuit? Remember that with that robot? Yeah. Yeah. Input. Input. Input. I had to do that once, right? It was once I had to interview Neville Salthor about his mental health book,

and the interview was at one, and I didn't get the book till nine. I was able, I was like,

I'm just going to flick through it like short circuit and get the gist of every page. And I was able,

I was able to basically read it. Can I say something, Chris, that's the most attractive I've ever found you.

Well, wait till we get the new cameras now.

That was so sexy. You can read Never Southurst's book in a morning. I'm in. I could speed read it in like an hour and a half, just like flicking through. What's the gist of every page? What's he trying to say? It was amazing actually.
