God save the queen. with a crisp and punchy segment going

with a crisp and punchy segment going over.

Spencer's joking.

It's really punch.

I don't know if we're going to have to edit this out,

but I just choked on my whiskey. He, Spencer just saw a mistranslation of Isaiah.

Horrified, horrified to discover that the call imperfect is being mistranslated.

Fittingly in our final segment on Churchill, Spencer nearly chokes to get chokes to death on whiskey.

No.

Well, I would take this opportunity to dispel an often bandied about myth of Churchill before we get into the real Churchill, which is that he was a drunk, not true, it's a false and slanderous statement. Churchill liked the stimulation of booze, but someone, you know, people

would say, oh, he'd drink all day day but you know our friend Larry Arne who knows

Churchill better than most would say yeah he'd pour a little bit of brandy and some soda in a

glass and fill the glass all the way up and drink that for four hours while he was working, but he was perhaps

occasionally drunk late at night, and he entertained nightly.

There's this interesting book out recently that everyone should check out. I forget the title of it, but it's something about the Champagne is in the title, but it's about Churchill's, you know, at least three earned and then lost fortunes, including, and this is an Andrew, a lot of these details are in Andrew Roberts's new biography too that, you know, if you were part of the politically involved aristocracy like Churchill was, you had to make a grip of money to be able to support your entertaining lifestyle because you were basically running a quasi

hotel for half the year when you were entertaining in the off season etc and had this procession of people through your home. So if like Churchill, you were not that wealthy by inheritance, you had to make it by hook or crook and this would appear to be no more champagne

Churchill and his money by David Lowe yeah no more champagne and then the one of

the wonderfully entertaining virtues of Andrew Roberts's book is that he loves gossip and he loves to talk about how much Churchill was spending to entertain as just a nice embellishment to his larger thing.
