Agreed. Imagine how much kinder history would be to him if he were better at delegating, was comfortable being wrong, and wasn’t so paranoid. I’m reading part 2 of Kotkin’s bio on him. Terrifying stuff

Also Churchill did not envision the EU, that was a group Italian socialists imprisoned by Mussolini

A note that Stalin was in fact witty, probably the most naturally gifted leader in the 20th century, outside of height and compassion anyway.

Need part 2 please

Brendan 'Timbzy' Timbs

I'd say 98% of people would agree Seinfeld is superior

Seinfeld better than mitm is a Patrick Bateman level opinion

“I started loving Churchill” Another barrier to Pakistan/India reconciliation.

Tyler Watson

yeah if Ali starts his own pod this one is absolutely fucked lol

Dusty Dhobi

Ali, I would love a part II. I want to hear how the based Shia’s are better than Sunni’s. I would also love to hear of your telling of the exploits of Saladin, especially his war against the crusaders.

Luke

Seconded Scotty

Luke

Yeah gonna need part 2 Ali

Bryan

It did feel like clickbait

James Steel

This story wasn’t what I was expecting from a pod titled “the pearl necklace” but I loved it, keep it coming

The confluence of errors is astounding. But thank god we saved that fish! One snippet that blew my mind: The (female) LA fire dept assistant chief literally said of a hypothetical man in a burning building, “he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.” California’s inevitable red-swing is gonna come much sooner than historical trends would suggest.

I fucking hhhhhaaaaated "Everybody Loves Raymond". Ray was a pathetic cuck, and Marie was a Cunt! I remember thinking, "is this what I have to look forward to in marriage??" 25 years later, I have my answer - "Abso-fucking- lately". Sex & The City is another series that can get in the bin. Fuck that shit!

Trent Fish

Has Ali been reading Salman Rushdie or what

Shane Parry

Ali, the California Fires were 100% mismanaged, the main woman in charge was paid $700k per year to make sure the Fire Hydrants were fully functional and the main reservoirs were full, but of course they were not. Gavin Newsom is shown doing this stupid little dance with absurd hand gestures, smiling while talking about "LA version 2.0" a few days after the disaster, standing in front of someones destroyed home.

He must bring back Holsworthy Live. That way, he can continue sharing his stories.

Mr Dukakis, did you get here in a tank? No, and I've never thrown up on the Japanese prime minister either 😏

Yakub Da Scientist

Pardon

scottbars

Holesworthy live

Jordan liking "The Middle" more than "Malcom in the Middle" has got my blood boiling. Malcom has aged so much better, the comedy is timeless

Andrew Stanley

Gavin Newsome didn't starve the fire department he increased the funding by a fuck tonne and took 3% off the next year for reasons.

Andrew Stanley

That story didn't sound like two women's egos it sounded like men's egos.

BandBane

Great story Ali! Bring on part two!

Orhanu

Ali you need to keep going, we need part 2

Yakub Da Scientist

Ali I really like the story but I think you’d be better off just making a different podcast where it’s just you telling stories from history. You have a great speaking voice and it’s not fatiguing to listen to you for extended periods of time. Also I may be getting my wires crossed but is this also related to the Hadith of pen and paper? And another question, Fatima’s husband, Ali, that’s regarded as the ancestor of Ayatollah Ali Khamanei? I personally would love a future story about how the House of Saud was established. Keen for part 2

Bear brumm

Thats a cracka yarn that one, keen for part 2

Parasocial relationships: I do not know how to explain it, but I did twitch streams for about a month or two. I was trying to understand my childrens' world. I was gaining followers, which is apparently good. I did not know these people, random people from around the world. The conversations were amazing. Learning about everyone was great. Yet, the intensity of emotions relating of fans, how I was "seeing" them, understanding them... they had demands. I could not handle the intensity of these "fans".
