I now want The Onion to employ Robert to do the Infowars show, where he pretends to be covering for Alex for a while and just trolls the MAGA listenership. "Hi Im Robert, I'm from Texas, I own guns and take dubious supplements obtained from dubious outlets" 😅
I remember my dad mentioning how back when Cracked was a magazine, they always stylized any talk about Germans as "Ze Chermans" Good to see Robert maintains that connection to his historical roots.
Haha I'm so glad my wife's company got a shout out in the opening. She loved the dino bit and agreed with your premise. Never know? She's one of the senior scientist there
"Lawrence trusted very few people to the level of total understanding, the kind of trust where you had already said anything that needed said, and you could sit in silence together for hours" me and who?
One thing I think the film got right is Lawrence was very much running through an avalanche. Almost everyone he dealt with wanted to use him somehow, and he chose to be used so he could advance his own wishes.
Oh, yeah. ADHD sounds certain. I don’t know whether there’s also ASD/OCD/cPTSD or all of the above but it’s a least some of that. Good to know RFK would send him to a camp, too. I would like to know whether he was independently wealthy or if that trailed off with his dad. In other words, did he need his “career” or pursue it because of the opportunity it afforded him?
If you go with the (correct) position that Mehmet the conqueror was the successor to Byzantium rather than it's destroyer, then you can reasonably argue that the Roman empire was ultimately defeated by the power of autism.
Just perused Margaret's wikipedia, and wow, she's so cool!!! I'm going to be ordering all of her novels and requesting my local library to stock them too
Its Asceticism (a-set-is-ism) not Aestheticism (as-tet-is-ism) Ascetism: to be ascetic, spartan, denying of the body A(e)stheticism: pertaining to matters of beauty
The trouble is that both can be argued to apply with Lawrence. He's motivated by his love of aesthetics, but he accesses the various historical buildings that he obsessed over by way of employing the principles of asceticism.
Perfect timing. I just picked up Baudrillard's "Gulf War Trilogy" so it seems "fortune, on his damnèd quarrel smiling, showed like a rebel's whore," today.
Trey Ma Dog would be roughly how it's pronounced while speaking English but referring to a Welsh place name. Wales is always a bit of an unacknowlged country at times, so it would be awesome to hear Welsh names pronounced properly, even though I get how often misprounciations happen generally on BTB. I feel like it's a bit different from pronouncing English place names wrong, like Gloucester, that's funny. But keeping Welsh alive, as a repressed language in the past, it's just different in a way I hope is obvious.
57:35 While this is true in a lot of the middle east, it's also notably true in a lot of Southeast Asia. Places like Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and several other nearby nations (even if not explictly SEA, like Taiwan and kinda Japan [sometimes, they're still mad about American military bases so don't be American]) have a similar culture. I recall a true crime story in one of them, I watch a lot so I forget which crime or what country, but the locals viewed it as more reprehensible than if it was one of their own who was killed. The culture stresses the importance of guests, they are to be cared for, respected, and treated like a friend or even family, and this extends to things like people's willingness to help you. If you're lost, homeless, need a meal, or even just a warm place to rest during a travel, you can almost always rely on people from these types of nations (Despite the demonisation, this includes countries you would normally associate with evil, because of US propaganda) including even Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, South Korea, etc. The only expectactions they will place on you as a foreign guest will be that you respect their culture as much as possible (Shoes off indoors for many of them, silence during prayer, for devout Muslims being left alone during their prayer, treating them with respect, using polite terms to refer to them, and even things like showing a willingness to learn and understand. For example if you're awful at using chopsticks, instead of requesting a fork you'll usually be more pleasant to them if you ask for guidance and being shown how to use it, even if a fork ends up being supplied. The act of trying and being willing to learn is what matters most to most of these cultures. ***Do not take advantage of this cultural kindness.*** Live streaming lunatics are causing irreperable harm to this openness and polite society, for example if I recall correctly a major tourist spot in Japan have had to ban tourists from entering areas rife with Geisha, because the tourists will never listen and keep touching them. Treat Geisha's kinda like a stripper at an R rated bar. You look, you don't touch. They're paid to be nice and flirt with you, it is not an invitation. And by god do not be weird about things if you walk past one walking down the street. Don't take photos, don't get in her way, and don't bother her. She's got shit to do and you have no part in those plans. I wish Western cultures had this type of open friendliness, but unfortunately, we don't. And honestly that kinda sucks. That friendliness can make life itself feel less isolating.
And from what i know japanese mostly think of foreigners as ignorant of the often strict social rules do are pretty forgiving , just dont be a jerk. 😢 youtuber had a funny idea that maybe hide a yakuza in the stuff to jumpscare tourists and scare tourists to behave, as part of their job is looking intimitating , and it was jokey but still dunno if that would work but there are more creative ways to disguise stuff in there that can make watched by, somrone who can throw out folk if needed. Babbing seems counter to tourism i mean. There better ways to try scaring tourists to behave
1:04:47 They wanted an empire where the sun never sets because they live on an island where it never rises. Absolute gold point. Give Margaret a raise.
I didn't expect the expression "Near East" to be used in the USA. I always heard that region to be included in "Middle East", given that America is nowhere near that places. Or maybe it made into the script because they were taking from British sources?
"What a sad, wicked life must a rebel guerilla have led to become that way?" _checks notes:_ - Loving, caring family, no financial problems, good education, interest in history, humanities and long walks, beloved by all he met. "What a sick, literal bastard."
47:40 one way to think about it is yes, kind of like the Pope, except if the fifth Pope decided to make his position hereditary, and his literal successor actually murders the fuck out of Jesus' grandson, who is loved and revered by a huge proportion of Christendom at the time and still is to this day, and even the side that was nominally on the Pope's side thought he was bad and that you needed a class of scholars and jurists who were independent of the Pope and secular power to offset the Pope's influence, up until the point when all of them were conquered by Martians and are subjected to Martian ideas of the state and religious law- look, the analogy isn't exact, okay?
I don’t mean to diminish the concept of grooming or anything. But once upon a time we had the nonprofit Big Brothers which did mentorship. It sounds a bit like that? Obviously we can’t say, but that’s the vibes it gives me.
Agreed, it just sounds if Lawrence has relationships, he is very intense and it sounds like a doting fatherly , i mean given his complicated upbringing and how salim was his caretaker and company when sick, yeah he would super doting. And its not very weird that , a teenager might try weird weszerner clothes. As curiosity thing. He just sounds like he seriously is compensating for his own upbringing. The statue could be just , idk modeling isn saying anything? There can be weird bounderies and it really more fatherly friend stuff honest to god.
I have found most non-ace people TODAY dont really understand asexuality (usually when i mention im demi-sexual, which is on the ace spectrum), and its actually being talked about today. The idea of discussing asexuality over 100 years ago, seems dumbfounding to imagine. hell, i was a teenager in the 90's and no one even brought up asexuality as a possibility. its was gay straight bi, those were your choices, 20-30 years ago, if you were even told that.
Truth! I'd say plenty of the community doesn't understand it, even if they're asexual themselves! It's damn confusing sometimes, and the Community as you say is only about 20 years old. We had a "non-libido-ist" talk in my queer friend group in 2004~, so I know there were conversations happening at the time. It's truly interesting what terms were used in the disparate communities that formed. I've also heard non-sexual used early 2000s. I know that earlier than that asexual/nonsexual/null was used interchangably to mean people who wanted to have nothing downstairs, parts wise, but I also wonder how much that overlaps with asexual people, I feel like I've used that as a metaphor before to explain it. I know we tend to be autistic as well, and trans, but who knows the actual stats. It's obviously really hard to survey our community because the people who know where to find surveys about asexuality are only a small percentage of the people in the world who do have a low sex drive and most don't know there even is a Community.
Oh god. The heat. Okay I've never been outside America, but I'll say. When temps get to 115f+ in California? I've described walking out of a building like walking face-first into a wall. The heat is a physical thing that strikes you. So I really resonate with calling it a "violent experience".
i do find it funny how you mock Orientalism while taking the piss out of a Welsh place name because its not an English word so you have a problem pronouncing it
Lawrence may have been a literal bastard, but goddammit we stan a possibly Ace, possibly Neurodivergent weeb that starts insurrections against imperial powers.
The discussion on Lawrences sexuality and the hypothesis and all that....does sound awfully similar to how I feel about the whole business of sex and the like. I'm maybe projecting my own experiences as someone on the asexuality spectrum, but I would agree thats its very possible Lawrence was asexual
First episode I've seen before I heard, as excited as I am for waco2 in front of my basil garden! 🏡 (FDA is gunnin for us soverien citizens and our vegitation)
On and off Robert refers to the "Seven Pillars of Islam" - I presume he intended to refer to "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", Lawrence's book (autobiography) ? "Seven Pillars of Islam" is a thing, but is theology around the Islamic religion, and nothing ro do with Lawrence.
The parents seem almost like a fin-dom situation, which is very modern. EDIT: I'm pretty sure it's only in America are college and university synonymous. Elsewhere university is the place you learn, and college is the place on campus the students live - what Americans would call a fraternity or sorority. Maybe Canada has the weird American definitions? idk
In the UK it's pretty murky. You have colleges that are universities, like some of the Oxbridge set, but most Colleges are an interstitial step between state education and university, as well as being a place for adults to return to education and improve their grades.
In Canada, a college is a lower level post-secondary school. You go to University for 4 years to get a degree in math or psychology. You go to college for 1-2 years to get a diploma in massage therapy or police foundations, etc.
@@casanovafunkenstein5090 Okay, so apparently nowhere has a consistent definition of college, lol. I assumed we Australians just used the English system, because that's what we tend to do, and that's how it works with their most famous universities, but apparently there's a whole extra layer of weirdness. It's like public schools all over again, lol.
Just a nit pick "7 pillars of Islam" There are only 5 pillars of Islam (Submission to Allah) but 7 pillars of Iman (the recognition of faith) It's relevant because Iman can be studied theoretically whereas Islam generally means shahada, prayer, fasting, charity, pilgrimage which are more practical (a non Muslim is unlikely to study these)
If you ask Siri to play the Behind the Bastards podcast on Apple podcasts, she will bleep out the word bastard when she repeats it back to you. The name of your podcast is too offensive for her. She’s a real bleep!
Love this but also... I feel like... Honestly when white English men were going to these countries they weren't doing it for Gay Rights, it was for like, sex tourism so the framing is a lil weird.
Due to my moms love of the Movie Lawerence of Arabia, and her own desires of studying things I grew up with a very wow he was a complicated man opinion of him. So im interested to see who he fits on the bastard scale here.

I think the first time I was conscious of this was Jason Statham making fun of his mate’s armament in Snatch.
@@sharkbelly1169 For sure, that's where my mind goes too.

One thing I think the film got right is Lawrence was very much running through an avalanche. Almost everyone he dealt with wanted to use him somehow, and he chose to be used so he could advance his own wishes.
Did not expect to find out Lawrence of Arabia was ASD/ADHD today but man had the exact same school life and obsessive special interests I do...
Okay, so I wasn't the only one who heard/saw that. Good, good.
