I'm gonna show you how great I am.

This would have a tiny fella.

I just want to say from the bottom of me heart,

I'd like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody.

Hello, and welcome to how to Take Over the World.

This is Ben Wilson.

Welcome to another episode.

This is going to be an end notes episode on Philip the Great, Philip the second of

Macedon.

And just so everyone knows what end notes episodes are is when I make an episode, I take a bunch of notes and then I streamline them.

I cut out a bunch of those notes when I make the final episode.

I cut any side quests, anything that doesn't have directly to do with the main plot.

And so I end up with all these notes that there's some interesting stuff in there.

It's not totally relevant to the main story, but I found it interesting enough to note. And so at the end, I will sometimes

create an end notes episode where it's just kind of a stream of consciousness. It's a little

less formal. And I just share with you some of the random notes that I took. And so I'm going to

be doing that today with Philip. So let's crack them open,

but first, a word from our sponsors. This episode of How to Take Over the World is brought to

you by Taft. As you study the lives of these great historical figures, you started to pick up on

little similarities. Some of them are really obvious, like that these are all very intelligent and hardworking people,

but other similarities seem rather odd.

And one of those odd similarities is the way they dress.
