Zander Leaf Listens

How do I get a print of this album art for Hal, err Hell of Presidents? I really love it a lot

when they were like "for those of you who fall asleep reading about types of trains" i uh i was looking at types of trains 😅

THEKILLERWHALE

Chris. If you see Matt tell him that he was right about Ridley Scott. HE WAS RIGHT.

Will Elliot

You fuckers say blame American textbooks for lack of education on WW1. Maybe mention the books were published by ROBERT MAXWELL!

Andrew Carmichael

Tell Matt to chime in on Kissinger’s death for the Thursday episode.

Per Olav Andresen

Hello Sir Chapo. I hope you will take a deep-dive into Kissinger's wacky adventures now that the worms are eating well.

I think it's cute how fond Chris is of Teddy

Slops late

While slop is late, considering who died I am good with waiting for a fine meal

Matthew Krueger

100% on the waiting for a fine meal. I listened to episode 52 today with Jeremy Scahill (it's a great ep and he was a really good guest) at the end they talked about how disgusting the display for "our honored statesman" would be on both sides when Kissinger died - Scahill actually asked to come back when it happened. I doubt anyone remembers the exchange but that would be a cool call back.

Jack

who?

John Leavitt

The Espionage Act also killed The Masses, Americas biggest socialist magazine , cause having ain’t-war content meant it wasn’t able to have the dirt cheap UPS mass mailing rate which is what made it economically viable and relatively affordable

Geechee

Well done - this was a really great episode. Especially dealing with the racist, fascist Wilson.

Charlie Hoyt

My ancestor Henry M Hoyt was solicitor general under Roosevelt. He was not a nice guy.

Ty Drown

Roosevelt’s father paid for a substitute during the Civil War (partially I think because his was Southern) and he was teased a little and ashamed of it. He definitely would have paid to fight in the war himself however. Ok, back to reading Wikipedia about trains for the rest of the evening…

JR

Look at this William Taft, every time I do it makes me laugh.

Mark Schneider

He was scum. When I was teaching High School US history I learned what a racist, misogynist, fascist piece of shit this faux "progressive" was . . . I'd compare him to Obama (who I voted for in '08 not expecting 3rd & 4th Bush Jr. terms).

Bella DeBall

Having already broken the French, the Germans were about thisclose to breaking the British (and were in the process of doing so) when the first American troops got onto the scene, to the point where the Wilson Administration put aside its "we will fight only as an American Army" policy aside temporarily to rush troops to the front to prop up the British. To that extent, the biggest contribution America made to the Allied war effort was "people", and the Allies do not win on the western front without them.

No Relation to Henry

The middle school I attended was opened in 1919 and named after Woodrow Wilson. In the entryway there’s a large two-story chalk mural by a local artist from around that time period containing, among other things, rose of crosses with “why?” written on all of them. The artist, whose surname was also Wilson, was not a fan of the president.

Incredibly funny that Teddy Roosevelt still sounded like the weaselly wimp he tried so desperately not to be

Christopher Price

Anna Karenina is the perfect book for Teddy: kostya levin forsaking cushy city living and instead dedicating himself to farming. yeah, sure, there's the Anna and vronsky bits, but we all know he's highlighting the farming passages.

Listening to this while playing as the US in Victoria 3 is peak 🤠

Nathan

Funny to hear about the Roosevelt admin reveling in their criminality in the context of Trump 2. Every day is another wonderful secret.

Reece Coren

Did Matt ever discuss the hinge point if JP Morgan hadn’t been able to get US Steel to inject liquidity into the market privately? Or even just if he hadn’t been able to get the 120 bankers to agree in time? And what was the mysterious deadline they were rushing to beat?

Fuckfaceitis

The Hail to the Chief remix at 24:34 is what plays in the background during the under water levels of presidential history

I understand I am commenting years after this was posted but was this episode re-recorded? I listened to this episode way back when it was on stitcher and there feels like a ton of new content, especially in the teddy sections
