Summary

In this episode of The Brain Food Show podcast, we discuss one of the more remarkable individuals in modern history- Theodore Roosevelt. In particular we look at that time he risked life and limb on what amounted to a “principal of the thing” matter, and another time he quite literally shrugged off a bullet to the chest to immediately after give an hour and a half long speech… Learn more about your ad choices.

All right, welcome to Brain Food Podcast in this one. This is another one where we're looking at, it's not practical knowledge, it's the opposite. We're still working out names, are we? I don't know. I lost track, but this is one where we're talking about fun facts. And today, this one's awesome. This one, I reckon, I don't know what you think, David, but we're probably going to have to split this into two parts because because it is epically long. Yeah, it's amazingly long. We're talking all about Theodore Roosevelt and basically

0:27.8

how much of an extreme badass this guy is. How many stories do we have? We have three and a slew of

0:35.0

bonus facts that just really show how this was like one of the more amazing people in modern history.

0:40.5

And a lot of people I imagine in Europe don't even know who he is really.

0:43.3

I don't know.

0:43.9

Maybe it's just because I interact a lot with Americans.

0:46.2

But I feel his level of kind of badassness definitely transcends America.

0:52.9

It leaves America and travels around the world. There's also a bit of confusion because obviously this FDR as well, who was also perhaps not a badass in the same way as Roosevelt was, Theodore Roosevelt's, Teddy Roosevelt, or however you want to describe him. But he was, we studied a bit about him in school because we study the wars, the First World War and the Second World War and obviously he was around at that time. Yeah, kind of different kind of badass in a way. I don't know if we'll have to split it off into two parts. I guess we can kind of go into it and if we find ourselves rolling into the third hour, we'll probably be like, maybe we should wrap this up because we were just talking about how we don't want these podcasts to be so epicly long. And then our first one after we make it crazy long. Absolutely. I want to basically

1:32.9

do a bit of housekeeping. So reviews. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed the podcast. We've got

1:38.1

A Town Gamer. I think I'm largely picking the ones that I can easily pronounce because like

1:43.0

MX should a shudela. I don't know. I'm going to read MX shudlers now because I said it and then I'd feel bad if they were like, hey, I heard you read out my name but you didn't read out my review. If you like the YouTube content, this is a more organic feeling presentation from those guys and it plays well. definitely give it a listen and hit up their

2:01.0

patreon i didn't even know they were plugging our patreon for us that is epic patreon.com forward

2:06.8

slash today i found out this is the kind of content that needs to continue to be available

2:10.4

it's educational and easy to take in well done accidental patreon that's nice how do you like

2:16.2

that a town game one of the best podcasts in the history of podcast. This is not, I'm not cherry picking these. I swear, in the history of podcasts. I love this. I love the YouTube channel and the show. 10 out of 10, 5 stars. How about that? Matt the cat, love the show, love the lads, love the facts. Matt the cat, thank you for your five-star review. Do you say lads, like in the States? Because you'd be like, lads, good job, lads. No. I mean, familiar, but I wouldn't say it was a thing, at least in my region of the U.S. that people would say. Because I've got the American iTunes store loaded up. And so I'm like, that feels very British, lads. What's up, lads? Maybe on like the East Coast or something. I don't know. Maybe. That's the thing people say. Matt the cat. Drop us an email. Let us know where you're from and why you use lads. We'll touch back around in a future episode because it's, maybe we won't. It's not that fascinating.

Boogie Man 2718. This is an excellent podcast and very similar to their YouTube channel.

3:16.8

Today I found out, but a bit more candid and casual. I like the recent change in the format to a shorter show with two variations on the show. Keep up the great work. There we,

3:21.7

there you go. That's the first feedback on that point

3:24.9

that's nice guys so we are we want to get to 100 reviews i think we mentioned it on previous

podcasts at 100 reviews we're going to pick someone at random from the first 100 reviews and give them

3:35.5
