You don't have to dip forever. You know that right. You don't have to smoke forever.

And the reason I say it like that is I have been that guy. I've been that guy. I dipped for so long and what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit.

Ah, it's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man. I don't need any help. I just get a quick cold turkey and I would fail time and time and time again.

I tried things like the patch that didn't work. Gum, sunflower seeds, I tried it all.

It's just the matter of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's Jake's mint chew. Go put in your dip.

Maybe cousins too. Do you think that is a solution to your problems?

Probably not, right? Probably horrified by the thought of it. I would certainly hope so.

Hang on, we'll come back to that.

We've talked a lot about the Roman Empire. Today we're not talking about the Roman Empire. Today we're really talking about the Ottoman Empire.

But before we get clear to that, let's begin with where exactly we are in the world.

The Roman Empire reached its height.

After Christ, after all the nonsense, reached its height at one point where they controlled everything in the Mediterranean.

I mean, gosh, they were in Britain. They were, they were King Dog.

And as empires do, you peak, they peaked, and thus began a slow, steady decline.

Does not happen all at once. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't.

Depends on the circumstances when it comes to nations. If you've studied at all these empires who rise and fall.
