I am not polish, but it takes about 10 seconds to type Wojtek into google translator to get proper pronunciation in Polish language. Here we go, I had to kick that dead horse 😄
In the paradox game hearts of iron 4, when playing as Poland there is a hidden focus tree that allows you to get Wojtek as a general when controlling Iran and Italy. He can then become field Marshal. Finally, if the Soviet Union is defeated and Poland raids NKVD documents, the then king Anastasia Romanov is found fraud, and Wojtek can become the king of Poland, and then the Slavic world.
Next time you pass the statue, please give him a smile and wave from us online!! His story is deeply inspiring, I wish I lived close enough to pay respects to him.
Idrk 'bout anyone else, but I have always found the Wojtek the bear story truly wholesome more than anything else. (Obviously except for the part where he passed, and when his life was risked)
There is a statue of wojtek in my town, wojtek is the logo for our school uniform. He spent time in our town in Scotland and people used to let him drink and got him to smoke cigarettes
My nan's "man friend" (both widows who lost their significant others, they had been friends when they were younger, and got together after the demise of their partners), was in the regiment with Wojtek (pronounced Voytech), he used to tell me stories about the bear when I was little. Wojtek used to drink beer, smoke cigarettes, and play fight with the men, essentially he saw himself as one of them, he even had his own passport. Because of his size and strength he was able to carry munitions with ease. He was a great bear who did a lot for the Polish army. Sadly the man friend passed away in 2011, and my nan died in June 2022. It's great to see a video on this because a lot of people don't know about Wojtek.
The voice, like Jake Tran, has been replaced. Full production? It is not the same, just like Jake Tran using another person's voice... I am not hating just telling it how it is.
Also the video and story telling is just not the same as last years when I used to promote both this guy and Jake, as one of the top 10 creators.. now it's like I am listening to another guy with History channel quality content. That is my two cents and I know dozens will agree here.
Having separate stories that all follow a common theme is such a nice change to how this channel used to be run. Always felt so hard to keep the different stories straight before
In regards to the closing statement, “there is a darker side to the animal kingdom”, the three stories shows us it’s likely to be us primates. The first story, the bear’s habits appear to be the result of the natural environment living with humans. This story with the bear is quite unique as it’s behavior was not forced upon or forcefully controlled. The second story, Chimp War, it’s likely to be a biological instinct just like humans with greed and power. The third story with the moose, is humans attempting to control its biological behavior for human interest.
Solid theory but bears & moose are brutal even without the involvement of us primates, geese are often rapists, many species are cannibals of their own “families”, gators & crocs will try to murder anything possible, and we can go on all day
@@CantTellYou that is certainly brutal. Perhaps most animals have a darker side. I know in the insect 🐜 world, for example fire ants coordinate attacks like military units to bring destruction and death to their enemy. Same observations can be found in the microscopic world. Then my observation was leaning towards who is farther in that darker side. I’ll argue that is our species. We have cannibals, murderers, raise terror, nukes, etc… all the worst things possible. On a brighter note, most of humans are not in that darker side of the spectrum.
@@nowisdumb9773 personally I think animals are also susceptible to influence from the spiritual realm just as we are. Often I see people (not you of course) make the argument that what takes place in nature is only natural and OK/ acceptable. NOOOOOoooo lol
Man, personally, I don’t care about the drama that’s happened with the founders or creators of Disrupt. But the 3 stories in one video format is just so much better than these short stories.
The fact this video has 40k views in 9 days shows that they really did make a mistake by trying to sell their channel. They had a good thing going too :(
It's the same type of content, but the different narration kind of doesn't click with me yet. Jak had the perfect voice for this. But he fucked up big time, so I understand why he had to go. I don't know, maybe I will get used to this.
My middle school history teacher told this story on the first day(though far less dramatized), then on I looked forward to every class and wasn't disappointed.
If Wojtek came from Iran, wouldn't he be a Eurasian brown bear, not a grizzlie? 🐻 For another anecdote of amazing animal from WWII, the American Alligator "Saturn" who escaped the Berlin zoo during bombing, survived implausibly on its own loose for a bit and then successfully defected to the Soviets, living until 2020.
10:29 I believe us and chimps are very alike in this way. The reason we are often much more aggressive is that we are almost always subjected to these “certain circumstances” in our modern world…
Aight, there's probably gonna be like a million low effort comments here in a day or two about how this guy butchers "Wojtek", but before that happens i want to give some perspective: Wojtek is pronounced Voy-Tec (exactly as the correction in the description states, thank you for that.) Now, this may not seem like a big difference, but here's how Wojtek would be written if it was written the same way disrupt pronounces it: "Łodżitek." Notice how this is a whole-ass new word, and is actually much closer to our pronunciation of Logitech (Lodżitek) than Wojtek. You probably won't relate if you're not bi-lingual but, just trust me on this, every single time he utters that cursed word, i come one step closer to tearing my face off in anguish. It's one of those feelings you just can't put into words, like looking at someone typing "google" into google to get to google. Oh, yeah, the video's great btw, just had to get this of my chest LOL. Just, please, next time you need to pronounce a foreign word, just put it into google translate and press the speaker for a reference. Thank You for coming to my Kurwa talk. edit: just found out what happened here 3 months ago. yikes. one less channel to hog up my subscription feed :P
Did disrupt change their content from tech or cyber crime related stuff? I mean this one was mid probably cause i've heard about it before but I like the cyber crime stuff better
polish has a really interesting history lol like- what country can say they had a grizzly bear fighting for them in the battle of monte casino, also in polish j is pronounced similarly to english e so it's wojtek not wouchtech lmao
Not sure if I should be watching Disrupt while laying in bed. I already have crazy lucid dreams about UFOs landing in my backyard and last night a dream about a nuke strike in my neighborhood.
RUclips automatically unsubscribe me had to subscribe on both my channels great videos by the way finally catching up I do miss the old voice but I mean I can accept this new one especially with what the old one tried to do
tbh their quality dropped a bunch since that whole scam debacle - with this video especially. Compared to older videos this one's not as refined in research and as in visuals.
I remember begrudging DICE's Battlefield V for not including Wojtek as part of the campaign that advertises as the other side of war that you never seen. I don't want fully mechanical prosthesis and woman frontliners, I want to play the campaign as Wojtek in few of the Polish campaigns.
Theres a WWII story of the Russians using dogs with bombs strapped to them to blow up German tanks. They would be scared of gunfire and tank fire. and often would run back to the trenches and often detonated the charge upon jumping in, killing Soviet soldiers. So returning dogs would have to be shot whilst fleeing. The Soviets used their own diesel engine tanks to train the dogs rather than German tanks which had gasoline engines. As the dogs relied on their acute sense of smell, the dogs sought out familiar Soviet tanks instead of strange-smelling German tanks.
it wasn't a grizzly bear, it was a Eurasian brown bear. Grizzly bears are only found in North America. There is no way you would ever find a grizzly bear in 1940s Iran.
I know that Jak was dishonest with his fundraising endeavor and tried to fill his pockets so that he could have funds to secure full ownership of this channel- But IMHO- without him here, recent productions are just lacking and not the same. He had a hand in the creative design of projects and his experience and oversight created a format that I grew comfortable with😑 Can we revise a tarnished past? Can his errors and the active role he played as a host of this channel be reconciled? Because I'm not feeling enthusiastic about the future of Disrupt as it stands. It may go on but without improvement and the lure of previous familiarity, I will not be here to see it. I respect your efforts Jordan, and those of every editor and creator on your team but giving a collection of 3 short stories in a short 14 minute span just doesn't do it for me. When Jak was host? Disrupt cranked out 20 and 30 minute exposés, stories, documentaries etc that would have you on the edge of your seat during dinner. Where does V.R./A R./The Metaverse/Future Tech/Etc etc intersect and come into play here? Jak had The Smoothest ad segues. So damn smooth that I didn't realize I was being shown an ad, I was intrigued and couldn't click away because the aesthetics of graphic animations and his delivery of every line was satiating like that of a late night radio dj.
@@fidelio9301 Or some kind of compromise where he's permitted hosting privileges and/or some limited creative oversight. I think Jordan might be reluctant though since so many people were anxious to hop on the hater train with scathing criticisms calling Jak a "scammer"😑
I can’t stress enough go look up more on Wojtek if you found this semi Interesting because there was a lot left out or skipped over, this bear lived more of a life then most adults
Good to see you’re back, and good riddance to Jak… but you need a better narrator. My humble opinion - don’t try to emulate Jak, get someone who can do his/her own thing and run this show. Here’s to Disrupt 2.0 🥂
For the record, "Wojtek" is pronounced "Voy-Tek". Please make a note if re-telling this story and I hope you can forgive me for the oversight!
As his namesake I can forgive you, pretty used to getting my name pronounced like that. Great video!
I think I can speak for the poles here and say that its fine, and we're really glad you made a video about this amazing story
I am not polish, but it takes about 10 seconds to type Wojtek into google translator to get proper pronunciation in Polish language. Here we go, I had to kick that dead horse 😄
Its not a grizzly bear either, those are only native to the US. Its an Eurasian brown bear.
Fun fact: Wojtek "smoked" cigarettes by eating cigs that were specifically lit. If the cigarette was not lit, he would spit it out.
In the paradox game hearts of iron 4, when playing as Poland there is a hidden focus tree that allows you to get Wojtek as a general when controlling Iran and Italy. He can then become field Marshal. Finally, if the Soviet Union is defeated and Poland raids NKVD documents, the then king Anastasia Romanov is found fraud, and Wojtek can become the king of Poland, and then the Slavic world.
As he should be
A deserved path in my opinion
Honestly he would be a better king than most
POLSKA GUROM
He who bears the throne
As someone who knows this story and lives next to a statue of Wojtek I'm glad more people will know about this!
I love wojtek
Next time you pass the statue, please give him a smile and wave from us online!! His story is deeply inspiring, I wish I lived close enough to pay respects to him.

My favorite Polish Bear got his own Video! I'm happy for my boy Wojtek.

So it's Logitech like the computer parts?
@@AL-PAKA Yup. Listen closely to how he pronounces Wojtek (for example at 2:05 ,) but replace the "W" sound at the beginning with "L" in your head.
No it's voytek
it's a bear made by logitech !
The logitech thing is the way the narrator says it in the video (which is the wrong way to pronounce it), the right version is voytek
a bear that ate marmalade and went on adventures? sounds pretty familiar
Did disrupt change their content from tech or cyber crime related stuff? I mean this one was mid probably cause i've heard about it before but I like the cyber crime stuff better
I can’t belive the quality in this videos

Cry
Unfortunately, yes.
I saw the title and immediately screamed WOJTEK 🐻❤️
Wojtek was a brave, great, and strong warrior
I really appreciate the variety of interesting stories you cover, thank you!

Can you imagine being a POW and then seeing a bear? That would fuck me up.
One of the best channels out there.
Incredible vid as always, the chimp peace sign transition to the bloody peace sign went so hard too
he just wanted a lil salami
I believe the bears name is pronounced like “voy-tek”
Not sure if I should be watching Disrupt while laying in bed. I already have crazy lucid dreams about UFOs landing in my backyard and last night a dream about a nuke strike in my neighborhood.
Keep up the videos man. The views will go back up after people forget about the drama and when a cool new banger drops.
The views are down because the videos arent as good, nobody even cares about that now. People say they miss Jak.
the editing is really jarring for this video. Doesn't fit the tone of the writing or narration at all
