Larry David as Custer, is the comedy idea of the century!!😂

It’s amazing how popular this podcast seems to be outside of Britain. I wouldn’t think that it would appeal but it’s good to see!

The lads are hilariously informative. Great stuff Team Coco

Lol at the guy scalping Custer being taken aback by his thinning hair 😅

You're not the only one who's aroused around here

A bunch of pseudoscientist, christonationalists and frankly speaking dull teenage level so called historians… Absolute waste of time. Tatcher was a Feminist? What a big L.

"Always beat them". Sure. More social rights, political stability, no Brexit, no Murdoch or russians destroying democracy, no embaracing royal family, etc, etc. I get it, even the "Labour" party is conservative. Love England but despise the cliché france bashing (one of the first successeful cases of wide spread misinformation).

I’m obsessed with these guys too—about 300 episodes deep at this point. My gateway was the The Rest Is History episode with Tom and Conan on The Beatles, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Thanks for bringing so much entertainment (and honestly, a sense of purpose) into my life. Absolutely brilliant.

I feel like there can be multiple episode with the Rest Is History. It was too short

The best of all worlds! Cheers!

Conan says at about 45 minutes in, that it's popular in our politics to say, "Can't we return to that golden old time?" but that there was no golden old time. There were always problems. People were always greedy, stupid, and destructive, etc. Yeah, I agree with that, but, if you asked me to choose to be a forty year old man today, or in 1890, I'd take 1890 in a heartbeat. The problems people had back then, they were problems perennial to human beings. The problems they had seem humane in comparison to what we have now. Frightening new technology? Yeah, they had that. Maybe being blown up in your own home in a gas explosion or poisoned by lead lining in cups and plates seems bad, as was all-cause mortality, but, generally, there wasn't this pervasive sense of alienation that I can sense having lowered like a sulfurous cloud that just wasn't there in the '80s and '90s when I was growing up. So, yeah, we're living longer, but poorer, lives. Our lives are quantitatively better, but qualitatively worse. As far as I can tell, most kids now are what we would have considered functionally illiterate only a few decades ago. They can read words but they can't comprehend what they're reading. This doesn't bode well for the future. To me, it's not that there was a "golden old time" where there were no problems – it's that I can make an educated comparison of the problems of my own time and the problems of previous times and can say I'd rather have the problems of previous times. Our problems seem dystopian in a way the problems of 1890 were not.

20 minutes in and laughing every minute! Why was I expecting anything else ?

29:02 the most Conan joke ever

Fashionably late.

Cuckoo for Coco. I really like your history background.
