@@Believer1980 I recon they should have done a game of monopoly as part of their 10 hours when raising money for Mind. Let’s face it, of all games Monopoly is likely to impinge on a players mental health. Several games back to back, a straight jacket, and group therapy.
Blair and Holly both seemed confused by the Red Baron's number of downed planes being "low" compared to what they expected, but 80 aerial victories is unimaginably impressive. A pilot is considered an "ace" as soon as they achieve 5 victories - which is already an amazing feat. It's worth remembering that the cost of defeat in aerial combat is your life - or at the very least your flying career. You don't get to win one, lose one, win a couple, lose another, etc. You have to keep winning without ever losing once.
True, and in addition to that, we are talking about the time in which at the beginning of the war most countries fighting didn't even have more than a dozen airplanes in total. At the end of the war 200 000 aircraft were used, but at the beginning most countries didn't even HAVE 80. The Red Baron picked up a very deadly skill very quickly, and mastered it.
@@rigdigwus Your odds of surviving if you're shot down are only about 50%. Even just getting involved in TWO losing dog fights means you're three times more likely to be dead than alive. The Red Baron went EIGHTY in a row without losing once. The sole loss he sustained was the very fight that resulted in his death.
I love when Sully channels his inner David Mitchell and goes on rants about very specific things like astrophysics, time travel, and the intracies of WWI combat aviation.
There are other Sully rants to look forward to? I started on the channel recently and am just going through older episodes at random. This is fun to look forward to!
@@flakmagnetStudios Oh, yeah! The time travel one comes from the Trial By Trolley episode, which is also excellent. Jon plays an absolute blinder in that game, too.
Although, Sully WAS wrong about "controlling the guns by hand" for the most part. Like, yes, early dog-fighting was done with literally dudes with a rifle in a bi-plane, but for at least a good portion of the Red Barron's career they had already figured out how to mount guns directly onto the planes without shooting their own propeller out.
I'm sorry, that's not an intricacy. I don't expect anyone to know what a Fokker triplane was, but I do expect some level of understanding that aviation was in its infancy in the first world war.
To be fair if the red baron was a type of plane like she thought it would be somewhat believable. 4000 planes by yourself is a bit mind boggling to think of though lol
The Germans were one of the few nations that figured an incredible fighter pilot needed to fly fighter missions as long as he could. Conversely other nations were of the mind that when a pilot, or any other specialist, did something great, he should be pulled from the line to teach others to be great. This led to better trained and often better equipped soldiers on one side, while the other had their hero and a few thousand bunglers. Then there was the Russian approach which could basically be summed up as "if we throw enough people at it the enemy will be buried under our corpses."
I have no way to prove this, but I was playing along and got the Red Baron question EXACTLY RIGHT. Thank you Snoopy, you've taught me well. (The only reason I knew)
20:25 It’s a shame none of them has listened to the Royal Guardsman’s Snoopy vs Red Baron where the lyric goes, “80 men tried and 80 died just to end the spree of the Red Baron”
I just bought this game for $3 at a goodwill. I’ve been planning to buy it at full price for awhile and was thrilled to find it so cheap and in such good condition. (All the pieces came with, nothing missing just maybe some new markers for the white board) I’ve been waiting for you guys to play this again. Happy for Sullivan too!
One of my favourite things is when someone other then Adam (sully, Laurie) explains how to play the game at the episodes beginning. Then when they cut to everyone around the table ready to play… Adam gives another explanation on how to play the game all over again. 😂😂😂😂
43:52 - What’s funny is your that he died in 1910! He was born November 30, 1835; two weeks after the passing of Haley’s Comet, and he died April 21, 1910; one day after the next passing of Haley’s Comet!
god i hope the 'How many babies are born each minute' question shows up again, one of the most legendary NRB moments edit: hahaha they IMMEDIATELY mentioned the 2.63 love it
I’m sure someone has mentioned this before, but here goes anyway. Everytime I watch a boardgame club I can’t help but be drawn to the person sat in the window of Draughts in the skeleton mask who PERFECTLY times the look to camera. I don’t know how you would do it but you need to find them and get them to play on an episode. I MUST KNOW THEM!!
Apparently Sully is my soulmate or something because I think he was closest to my own guesses like...95% of the time. There could definitely be worse people to share a mind with.
Love the balance of going from something a bit more involved (is crunchy the word for games like that?) to something like Wits and Wagers which could be summarized as "Read a question. Guess the answer. Bet on who's closest."
For the Oprah question, I thought to myself, “I’d just put a ridiculously low number, like 7, in case everybody else went waaay over.” Too bad I wasn’t actually playing. 😄
Next time a trivia game is on the docket I really hope we somehow get a table with Holly and Oli. Doubt it will happen but the sheer.... confrontational nature of some of their answers with common sense would make for wonderful mayhem
having done some research, apparently by then end of world war 1 the british alone had over 22000 aircraft. That said, 4000 aircraft is almost a quarter of the entire british air force.
"United States military had very few airplanes - only six airplanes, and fourteen trained pilots, were available for use. Conversely, France's military had 260 airplanes and 171 pilots, Germany 46 airplanes and 52 pilots, and the U.K. 29 airplanes and 88 pilots."
I had to know, so I looked it up. Aerial losses all sides during WWI were about 100k. Unimaginably large but it was also an unimaginably large meat grinder.
Oprah was an afternoon tv show that aired when the vast majority of Americans were at work and school. 16 million is an unfucking believably massive number for that type of a show.
Sullivan: "I should've believed in myself! Believed in myself! 'Cause that's the place to start!" Close! That's not Sesame Street, but a different beloved classic kids' show, Arthur!
The world’s tallest person is the one answer I knew for sure. I even remembered that his name was Robert Wadlow. Through sheer dumb luck, I was also able to come up with the exact right answers for the Madonna and Coca-Cola questions.
It really helps to be American for this game. US population about doubled from the 40s/50s to the 2000s. So it makes sense that it almost doubles from 1900 to then. 280/4 is 70. My guess was also 75. And there was such a big ado about Sesame Street's 50th birthday a couple years ago! But I don't expect anyone else to have written a 40-page research report on coca-cola in 2006. I somehow got Twain and Oprah basically spot-on. But that was pure luck haha.
For those wondering, the RFC alone (the UK's airforce) fielded 22,000 planes in WW1 So, there were much more than 4,000 aircraft in WW1, and the 22,000 number doesn't incorporate any other side than Britain

@@Believer1980 I recon they should have done a game of monopoly as part of their 10 hours when raising money for Mind. Let’s face it, of all games Monopoly is likely to impinge on a players mental health.
Several games back to back, a straight jacket, and group therapy.

A pilot is considered an "ace" as soon as they achieve 5 victories - which is already an amazing feat.

he was very wrong though, he claimed there were less than 4k planes in the sky during ww1 but over 100.000 planes were shot down.
23:12 My favorite Edgar Allan Poe short story is the one about The Red Baron shooting down 4,000 planes.
Masque of the Red Baron
man truly ahead of his time
:D That was mentioned on the final episode of Oprah Winfrey where 75 million viewers saw her give Judge Judy her 2 billion dollar pay raise, right?
He sunk them according to Sullivan.
Must've been seaplanes.....
This one's for Blair: instead of thinking of it as 80 people the red baron killed think of it as 80 fights to the death that the red baron *survived*
25:30 the moment Adam's heart breaks in two, in case you were wondering
Genuine Ralph Wiggum moment.
I highly reccomend watching it at 0.5 speed.
You love to see it 🤣
My favorite Sabaton lyric:
"In the game, to win, the gambler rolls the dice.
4,000 Allies paid the price."
the only reason I knew the answer lol
I am really not sure what's better. Red Baron shooting 80 planes being not impressive or Sully's reply to 4000. Amazing stuff as always.
Adam's face when he realized what Laurie bet at the end of the first game was absolutely priceless.
For the record there were about 200000 planes in WW1, meaning according to Holly, the Red Baron took out 2% of all planes.
What a menace 😂
This is why Richthofen didn't win the war single handed, and why the German approach to fighter pilots, in both wars no less, failed spectacularly.
To be fair if the red baron was a type of plane like she thought it would be somewhat believable. 4000 planes by yourself is a bit mind boggling to think of though lol
20:25 The Red Baron one is the only one i knew for sure. You were considered an ace if you shot down 5 enemy planes. Richthofen was incredible.
The Germans were one of the few nations that figured an incredible fighter pilot needed to fly fighter missions as long as he could. Conversely other nations were of the mind that when a pilot, or any other specialist, did something great, he should be pulled from the line to teach others to be great.

Then there was the Russian approach which could basically be summed up as "if we throw enough people at it the enemy will be buried under our corpses."
Sully going off about the red Baron question was great
@12:35 Laurie got 1800, but only should have got 900, so moral winner for sure is Sully.
Oprah was on daytime TV so 16 million was actually massive. The final episode was filmed in the same stadium that the Chicago Bulls play in
I have no way to prove this, but I was playing along and got the Red Baron question EXACTLY RIGHT. Thank you Snoopy, you've taught me well. (The only reason I knew)
Lol nice! I knew from the Sabaton song.
I saw the question and started singing the song Snoopy vs the Red Baron by The Royal Guardsmen. The chorus gives the answer.
20:25 It’s a shame none of them has listened to the Royal Guardsman’s Snoopy vs Red Baron where the lyric goes, “80 men tried and 80 died just to end the spree of the Red Baron”
Adam can feel the three games of monopoly creeping up on him can’t he
*FIVE games
Even better
I love trying to answer the questions, especially when I say 19 and holly says 4000
Sullivan Beau Brown is my spirit animal based on this game.
Sully's rant about the Red Baron shooting down 4,000 planes may be one of my favourite things of all time :)
I just bought this game for $3 at a goodwill. I’ve been planning to buy it at full price for awhile and was thrilled to find it so cheap and in such good condition. (All the pieces came with, nothing missing just maybe some new markers for the white board)
I’ve been waiting for you guys to play this again. Happy for Sullivan too!
Sully raging about 4000 planes is one of the best moments I’ve personally seen from NRB. 😂
More Sully and trivia / history? Yes please! His editorial on the Red Baron is awesome ahaha
0:38 Just have to twist that knife into Adam's side a little bit harder, huh? I love it! I'm so excited for the Monopoly stream.
the rant sully gave about FOUR THOUSAND planes is the most funny and relatable thing
13:55 Love how he quoted Arthur when talking about Sesame Street.
Adam does it to himself when he pays Laurie 6:1 instead of 3:1 at 12:30 😂
he also forgets to pay the betting chip's value multiple times as well.
One of my favourite things is when someone other then Adam (sully, Laurie) explains how to play the game at the episodes beginning. Then when they cut to everyone around the table ready to play… Adam gives another explanation on how to play the game all over again. 😂😂😂😂
Sullivan with the Arthur theme tune reference!... believing in yourself IS the place to start! 😅
When the Red Baron question momentarily breaks Sully… 😂😂😂
That was a fun game. Laurie knows when to hold and when to fold
Laurie's little face after he says might not pay off, had me grinning. :)
Watching Laurie, Adam, and Sully turn into 8 year old boys over the Red Baron was fantastic
My God, Sully’s Red Baron rant was perfection.
43:52 - What’s funny is your that he died in 1910! He was born November 30, 1835; two weeks after the passing of Haley’s Comet, and he died April 21, 1910; one day after the next passing of Haley’s Comet!

Apparently Sully is my soulmate or something because I think he was closest to my own guesses like...95% of the time. There could definitely be worse people to share a mind with.
Considered an Ace with 5 downings. Manfred Von Richthofen didn't do too badly with 80.
Love the balance of going from something a bit more involved (is crunchy the word for games like that?) to something like Wits and Wagers which could be summarized as "Read a question. Guess the answer. Bet on who's closest."
38:38 - Sully 'I can't read. It's a well-documented fact'
Also Sully - reads the next question.
😅🤣😂

the red barron question not only was it early in the flight of war planes but they also had limit ammo maybe 200 rounds per mounted gun
Did some googling, There were supposedly about 341 airplanes in ww1. So 80's quite a lot.
5 minutes in and there’s already a breakdown…I love it
Hell yeah! I was hoping this one was gonna hit the table in person at some point
I literally checked the tallest man’s height two weeks ago and I’ve already forgotten
does anyone else wave back to the barista in the opening video every week, or am I just lonely? lol
Laurie did an amazing impression of an American hearing about the final episode of Oprah!
4000 PLANES!? Dear god….. Red Baron was ruthless
how comes the 1969 answer for sesame street paid on the 1967 not 1970 which was closer?
Closest without going over!
@@crissygorge6989 ohhhh that makes sense now. I kept being like "they keep making mistakes"
The highs and lows of gambling addiction in one video. Well done mates. 😁
So excited for that Monopoly marathon! :D
16:51 as a Sabaton fan, I enjoyed that question XD
this and the lords of vegas video have convinced me that no one in the NRB group should be allowed anywhere near las vegas
Can’t wait for next week. I want to see that game played so bad
AHH HA HA HA ADAM!!! 😂 I don’t feel bad because he will win lord of the board next year and remind us about it every single week
Great episode there, folks! Is that a new "next time" safe lock, btw? Looking forward to the next one :)
Actually, over 200'000 planes were manufactured for transport or combat during WW1! It was a big war!
having done some research, apparently by then end of world war 1 the british alone had over 22000 aircraft. That said, 4000 aircraft is almost a quarter of the entire british air force.
I'm very surprised that the BEST gambler that is Jon Gracey was not on this table
i audibly made noises of excitement at school when i got the notification for this video, thats how much i look forward to the uploads
"believe in yourself, and that's the place to start" is from Arthur...
There is even a song about Snoopy VS The Red Baron.
I love that I can play along at home!
4000 planes!!
I had the exact same reaction as Sully, and I don’t say that very often!
Im suprised these guys havent played Red Dragon Inn yet its one of the best board slash card games 😆
This 💯 Easily one of the best games out there!!
'4000 planes sunk' i hope there's a book of Sully quotes coming out for Christmas
It’s a good thing Adam didn’t decide to play one game of monopoly for each of the losses on his board
Fun game. Do it again please.
24:34 - piss of the day
Unless the house is Adam makes the world make sense
"United States military had very few airplanes - only six airplanes, and fourteen trained pilots, were available for use. Conversely, France's military had 260 airplanes and 171 pilots, Germany 46 airplanes and 52 pilots, and the U.K. 29 airplanes and 88 pilots."
Hey Adam, you look like the main weasel from the ‘Wind in the Willows’ musical!
I bloody love sully
First! Also a pleasure to see the British Queen of Clocktower in the studio!!
Freeze frame at 2:24; sums up the game fairly well.
I knew the answer to the red Baron question due to SABATON
I had to know, so I looked it up. Aerial losses all sides during WWI were about 100k. Unimaginably large but it was also an unimaginably large meat grinder.
32:28 very good joke by Adam
Wait. All 9 Supreme Court Justices' salaries PLUS 40 MILLION equals Judge Judy?? That's a ludicrous ammount of money
Sully ranting about WWI history is the most relatable moment in all NRB to date.
So who else wants a video of Laurie going to Vegas? 😂
I've guessed 69 for the first like 4 and am so far crushing the competition ngl
Oprah was an afternoon tv show that aired when the vast majority of Americans were at work and school. 16 million is an unfucking believably massive number for that type of a show.
