00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:19.280

Biggest Dickus.
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.920
I'm a big cheese fan too.
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.680
Well, would you die from eating cheese?
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.200
I'd like to think, no.
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.760
Yeah, we're gonna get into the the cheese.
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.359
I don't know how much Okay, I'm not proud of it.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.560
We were watching a UFC fight this one time.
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:41.680
I'm sitting there and everybody just kind of just snacking.
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.159
I had this brick of habanero jack.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:44.560
Mm-hmm.
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.239
Yeah, I ate the whole thing.
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.840
That must have been quite a quite a bathroom stir later.
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.280
Well, you got the cheese blocking you up, but you got the the fire pushing from behind.
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.239
That's terrible.
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.680

A page from this book in history.
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.879
I should like do like like a fireside sound or something like that, like a reading.
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:57.199
Hey kids, did you know on October 26th, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona, the gunfight at the OK Corral took place.
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:07.520
The shooters, the shootout was a result of an ongoing feud between sheriff deputies and a gang of outlaws calling themselves the Cowboys.
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:17.599
Wyatt Earp and his deputies had been subject to multiple death threats by the Cowboys because they interfered with their horse stealing and cattle rustling operations.
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.360
This crime is coming to an end, mister.
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:22.400
And that was it.
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.360
And that's the shootout at the OK Corral and Tombstone.
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:26.879
Have you ever seen the movie Tombstone?
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:28.319
It's pretty freaking fucking.
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:29.680
You ever been to the OK Corral?
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:30.240
I've never been.
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:30.719
You've been there.
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:31.759
You said it was pretty small.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.319
It is.
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:33.919
It's like the size of a garage.
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:35.439
It's like an alley.
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.039
It's like not very big.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.240
I mean, I guess you know, if you want to park a horse there, great.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:43.120
Yeah.
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.800
I guess basically it was a horse parking lot.
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:47.919
Yep.
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:51.840
So this happened on the afternoon of October 26th in 1881.
00:03:52.080 --> 00:04:00.240
Earp, his two brothers, and friend Doc Holliday confronted a group of cowboys who were carrying arms.
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:00.960
Guns.
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.000
They were carrying arms.
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.520
Hey, you cowboys.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.840
Hey, put those seven arms down.
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.159
Yeah, they tried to disarm them, but the men refused to surrender their pistols.
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.680
Each side later claimed the other shot first.
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.759
After the smoke cleared, three cowboys lay dead.
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:21.040
So there you go.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.199
Shootout at the OK Corral.
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.079
That was that was exciting.
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:27.199
There were winners.
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:28.160
There were losers.
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.439
And there were losers.
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.720
Alright, so off to ancient Rome we go.
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:39.360
So the Roman Emperor who died after eating too much cheese was Antoninus Pius.
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:41.439
Bicus Dicus.
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.680
No, you can't hate the guy too much.
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:46.800
He does love cheese.
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:47.600
Yeah.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:59.040
So Antoninus Pius was alive from 86 AD to 161, or you could call it C E or A D or whichever you prefer.
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.199
Comp Commonera or Anodomni, whichever you know you want to call it.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.279
The fourth of the five good emperors of Rome is what he's been targeted as or named.
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:10.720
So what happened to this dude?
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.480
So ball, I had his estate in Lorium near Rome.
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.399
He ate a large greedy portion of alpine cheese at dinner.
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.600
Greedy portion.
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:20.959
A large greedy portion.
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.319
That's like I'm picturing like a wheel of cheese.
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.040
Which is a pretty goddamn impressive feat.
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:39.199
Yes, but the account of the incident comes from the Historia Augusta, a collection of Roman imperial biographies.
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:40.480
So let's get into this.
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.720
So there's a little bust of this dude.
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:49.920
I'm glad we have busts, because you know they didn't have cameras, so it's like a baby bell sticking out of its mouth.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.759
Those little gwax rap cheese.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:57.759
What is that?
00:05:58.399 --> 00:05:58.720
Fuck.
00:05:58.959 --> 00:05:59.839
What the hell's going on?
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:00.800
I can't poop.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.399
No, I can't poop.
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.399
So Titus Aleas, Hadrianus, Autonus, P.
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:08.639
S.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:09.519
That's his name.
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.360
So he's basically ATP.
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:11.920
I don't know.
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:12.160
No.
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.040
I'm trying to think of an acronym from him.
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.079
Ah, I don't know.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.600
So the guy who ate too much cheese.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:19.519
That's about it right there.
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:29.759
So he was born on uh September 19th in 86 CE and died March 7th in 161.
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.279
He was a Roman Emperor from AD 138 to 161.
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.000
He was the fourth of the five good emperors.
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.160
They call it the five good Antonine dynasty and also the fourth of the six adoptive emperors.
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:48.399
Born into a senatorial family, he held various offices during the reign of emperor.
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:59.600
He married Hadrian's niece, Faustina, and Hadrian adopted him as his son and successor successor shortly before his death.
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:20.800
Antoninus acquired the cognomen P after his accession of the throne, to the throne, either because he compelled the synod to defy his adoptive father or because he had saved senators sentenced to death by Hadrian in his later years.
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:28.879
His reign is notable for the peaceful state of the empire, with no major revolts or military incursions during his time.
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.120
He was just he just wanted cheese.
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.319
I can see that.
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:40.800
A successful military campaign in southern Scotland early in his reign resulted in the construction of the Antonine Wall.
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:50.319
Had children, looks like, sometime between 110 and 115, married Galeria Faustina the Elder.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.519
That doesn't sound like a good pet name there.
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.839
They are believed to have enjoyed a happy marriage.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.120
Faustina was the daughter of Consul Marcus Aninus Verus.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:03.519
So, okay.
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.800
So this guy's doing pretty good for himself.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:14.720
Yeah, he he managed to talk himself into the throne, you know, to become the become the emperor of Rome, even though he wasn't.
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.439
What did they refer to him as not really a direct bloodline?
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.639
Yeah, he was adopted.
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.600
He kind of married into it.
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:20.639
He adopted adopted.
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.439
He adopted, I think, Marcus Aurelius, too.
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.600
Oh, yes, it does say that in there.
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:26.000
Yep.
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.720
Marcus Aurelius Fulvus Antonesis died before 138.
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:36.720
His inscription has been found at the Mausoleum of Hadrian in Rome.
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.399
So they really go on to talk a lot about his ability to avoid war.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.440
I don't know.
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:58.320
He just there was no records of his involvement in military acts during his tenure, noting that he he likely never saw or commanded a Roman army and was never within the hundred 500 miles of a legion throughout his 23-year reign.
00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.600
How do you avoid that?
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.600
The legions weren't allowed in Rome.
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.759
I mean, how do you avoid a war?
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:04.559
I don't know.
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.159
How the fuck did he pull that off?
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:10.080
Maybe just everybody at the time was just like just we need to take a break.
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:11.440
We need to take a break.
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:12.960
There's a lot of wars going on.
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.840
Let's just okay, we're gonna call quits for right now, and we're just gonna take a break.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.000
He he did the uh he did the invasion of Scotland.
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:22.480
Yeah.
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.200
I'm sure they're kind of still mad about that.
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:34.320
Looks like he portrayed himself as a magistrate, no matter how extended and ill-defined his competencies were.
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:39.600
He is credited with splitting the imperial treasury, the fiscus.
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:44.399
The splitting had to do with the division of imperial properties into two parts.
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:45.919
All right.
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.120
So he seems like a and he he he even went to China.
00:09:51.919 --> 00:10:03.200
Diplomatic mission to China, the first group of people claiming to be an ambassadorial mission on Romans to China was recorded in 166 AD.
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:14.000
Yeah, states that the embassy was likely to be a group of merchants, as many Roman merchants traveled to India and some might have gone beyond.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:35.519
While there are no records of official ambassadors of Rome traveling as far east as this, the group came to Emperor Huan of Han, China, and claimed to be an ambassador from Andun Chinese, the King of Draken or Dragon Rome.
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:41.679
So they went over there with Marcus, looks like, as and the envoy arrived in 166.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.399
Confusion remains about who sent who sent the mission.
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.519
And he left the empire in charge of his adopted son, Marcus Aurelius.
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.159
Yeah, I'm I'm gonna be going to China.
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.679
I don't know when we're gonna be back, because it's gonna take a while.
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:06.559
In 156, so this is about the death and legacy of him.
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:12.480
So and so Antony is Antoninus Pius turned 70.
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.639
He found it difficult to keep himself upright without without stays.
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:23.840
He started nibbling on dry bread to give him the strength to stay awake through his morning receptions.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:37.600
Marcus Aurelius had I don't even know what to say, had already been created consul with Antoninus in 140 CE, receiving the title of Caesar.
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.519
Marcus took on more administrative duties as time went on.
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.879
Increased again after his death in 16, 157.
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.039
Alright, so let's get into this.
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:56.399
So the Roman Emperor who died from eating too much cheese.
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:11.200
So there were about 87 Roman emperors, some more in famous than others, whose one whose life and death is uniquely to inspire in epic films and then Antoninus Pius.
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:18.799
This article by is hist HistoryFacts.com, whose peaceful reign ended when he died after eating too much cheese.
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:26.320
Two days before his passing, a 74-year-old was twelve miles from Rome when he gorged himself on an alpine cheese at dinner.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.480
That's funny.
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.600
It says, Oh, I see that that is uh relatable.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:38.799
He vomited later that night and awoke with a fever the following morning.
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:40.720
Yeah, he had the cheese sweats.
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.399
Yeah, he got the cheese sweats.
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:56.559
The emperor's condition rapidly deteriorated, and sensing that that the end was near, he passed his estate to his adopted son and considerably more famous successor, Marcus Aurelius.
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:02.399
Died March 7th, 161 CE, just eight days before the Ides of March.
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:10.799
He was the fourth of Rome's five good emperors who presided over an 84-year period of peace and prosperity.
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:20.639
All right, so wait, now how do you you go from eating cheese probably too much to the point where I think this is the end?
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:22.320
Something's going on.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.720
How much fucking cheese did you eat, dude?
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.799
I think you got some bad cheese.
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.639
That's that's my guess.
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.519
I mean I think you got some bad cheese.
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:40.480
Because if you really look at Your Highness, I'm pretty sure we were supposed to take that wheel of cheese back to Rome with us.
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.600
I think it's gone sour.
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.840
I don't think you're supposed to finish the whole thing tonight.
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.080
That's a whole wheel of cheese.
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.519
Cheese was a vital everyday food in ancient Rome.
00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:04.559
Consumed by all social classes and carried as a high high food energy ration by soldiers on campaigns.
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:13.279
So the ingredients used in most common Roman cheese, as far as they know, was primarily sheep's and goats' milk.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.960
With cow's milk was also utilized through cows were more commonly used for labor.
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:42.240
Hoagulants were added, curds were separated from whey using all types of different stuff of animal rennet from lambs, kids, or hares, or plant-based alternatives such as wild thistle flowers, saltflower seeds, or fig tree sap or fig juice, it's called vinegar or lemon juice.
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:55.840
Seasonings and additives were mineral salt was very common, was preferred over sea salt, herbs, pine nuts, thyne, and smoke, I guess, an applewood smoke was used.
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:56.639
Yeah.
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:14.000
So in order to make this stuff, the production, dairy fresh cheese, many households and small small farms made simple, soft, moist cheeses daily by warming milk, adding a coagulant, draining the curds in a cheesecloth and pressing them by hand.
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:16.879
Aged and hard cheeses.
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:26.960
Using rennet and pressing techniques, Roman producers also made a dense, hard and durable cheeses designed to be stored or aged.
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.799
They also had specialized dishes and kitchens.
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:52.399
Wealthy Roman homes often featured a dedicated kitchen space called a cassille for cheese production and markers markers like Rome's Velabrum district specialized in smoked varieties of these cheeses, such as Chaus Fumus Velabanesus.
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.960
That sounds like a good cheese.
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:55.919
It does.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.200
You know, it's really hard to make a bad cheese.
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:19.600
They have discovered some historic recipes, classical cheeses such as Marcus Tarintius Varro in 37 BC was a first documented specific formulas, including early ancestors of regional traditions of making cheese.
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:26.960
So they have so they have over time come across some cheese recipes.
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.840
There is no official lethal dose of uh cheese amount.
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.440
I wonder if he didn't burst his stomach or something.
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:42.480
Meaning a healthy person cannot realistically eat enough cheese in one sitting to die from a cheese itself.
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:53.600
Instead, physical stomach rupture, severe sodium toxicity, or long-term chronic health problems or complications would occur long before the cheese itself could actually kill you.
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.559
You know, I'm gonna go ahead and guess he was probably not the most physically fit of the emperors.
00:16:58.879 --> 00:16:59.360
Probably not.
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.960
If he can sit down and power through that much cheese that they're thinking that might be what killed him.
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:16.079
The average human stomach can expand to hold about 1 to 1.5 gallons, roughly four liters of food and liquid before risking a life-threatening rupture.
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:20.960
Depending on the density of the cheese, this equates roughly to about 8 to 12 pounds.
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.039
How much cheese did you eat?
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.359
Oh, eight to twelve pounds.
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:29.519
My God, man.
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:37.039
Attempting to consume this much in one city would trigger intense nausea, which you was vomiting.
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:43.440
And long before the maximum capacity is reached, you would be vomiting before your stomach ruptured.
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.119
We've got some wonderful foods here tonight, uh, Your Highness.
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:48.480
I'll take the lot.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.519
Acute sodium and salt toxicity would be more common.
00:17:53.680 --> 00:18:03.279
Cheese contains significant amounts of salt, consuming a massive contrary to dose of pure salt at once can cause severe sodium toxicity, which could be fatal.
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:06.319
Cheese sweats.
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:09.119
Cheddar cheese contains often the most sodium.
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:18.000
To reach a dangerous or life-threatening level of sodium purely from cheese, an individual would need to rapidly consume a vast unrealistic quantity of cheese.
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.480
Well, come tell us what the unrealistic quantity is.
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:24.960
Don't just leave it out there.
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:35.839
The volume is physically impossible for the stomach of a human to hold, and the body's natural defenses would reject it long before toxicity would occur and you would begin vomiting.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.319
You know, we always think that.
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:44.799
Like this guy, probably.
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:55.279
While a single massive cheese consumption event will not cause direct fatal toxicity, chronic overconsumption or external factors pose genuine health consideration.
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:55.759
Okay.
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:02.240
So if if he's eaten a lot of cheese already, if the dude's fucking pounding cheese, like day after day, day after day.
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.319
He's just on this, you know, he's fucking on a road trip.
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.519
You know, he's on a road trip.
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:06.960
He's fucking tired already.
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.880
He's got a couple of pints in him.
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:23.519
You know, he's out of his little salad chips or whatever they call them, or the the grapes and the olives, and all she has is uh is a wheel of cheese, and it's like, hey, hey, can you hammer that wheel of cheese over there?
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.119
Oh, so we were saving that for the gift for the uh for the Chinese folks when we arrived there.
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.559
Uh well I would like to have some of that cheese.
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:34.640
I'm all out of snacks back here.
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:35.839
We still got so far to go.
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.960
Okay, you know, I'm not bagging on Swiss cheese either.
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:39.839
It's good.
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:41.920
You know, yeah, fondue.
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:46.000
There's other cheeses I would rather a nice gouda, smoked gouda.
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:46.880
Right.
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:59.200
Now, what it goes goes to here is if there's a pre-existing cardiovascular condition and you're consuming that much cheese, the sodium levels could cause a problem.
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:01.119
A nice blue stilton.
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:07.680
Vomiting and then instant death because your heart would be all screwed up.
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:08.240
Yeah.
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.200
I can see that.
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:14.319
And then after that is also concern uh probably another cause is bacterial contamination.
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.440
If it's bad cheese.
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.039
You just got fucking you got a you got a heap of bad cheese.
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:20.160
You know, come on.
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:23.599
It it it's fucking 70 AD.
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.880
So probably wouldn't have killed you if you hadn't eaten so fucking much of it.
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.799
Yeah, you'd probably be fine.
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:29.920
But no.
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.400
You're gonna sit back there and polish off 10, 12 pounds of cheese.
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:46.079
Realistically, so how many calories is 10 pounds of cheese?
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:50.640
This would be a life-threatening amount of calories.
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.119
No, no.
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:52.559
What kind of cheese cheese was it?
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.759
Was it Swiss cheese?
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.440
Yeah, they said it was an alpine cheese, and that's what we call Swiss cheese.
00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.200
Like the Swiss cheese is now.
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.960
How many calories is 10 pounds of Swiss cheese?
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:04.960
Holy fuck.
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.799
Oh yeah, 14 to 17,000 calories.
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:10.319
That's a lot.
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.880
If we didn't that's uh that's quite a bit.
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.200
14,000 calories.
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.519
Yeah, he probably shouldn't do that.
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:24.559
Okay, let's see.
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:31.920
Okay, so it it says in here that there's no it says it will it says you're correct, it was alpine cheese.
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.200
And it looks like it began about 12 miles outside of Rome.
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.359
He looks like he was on a road trip.
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:40.480
What was he doing?
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:48.559
Did not have a specific weight or quantity of cheese that recorded, or there's no historical text describing the amount of cheese.
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:59.680
The primary historical source, fourth century biography collection, only states that he ate alpine cheese too freely and too free frequently, and he ate it greedy.
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:01.440
Yeah.
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:03.119
At dinner before prominent.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:03.839
Yep.
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.200
During the night and developing a fatal fever and died.
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.839
So it looks like he had a cheese problem.
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.799
Yeah.
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.359
Looks like he just kept consuming cheese all the time.
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:14.799
Yeah.
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:16.559
It happens to the best of them.
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.559
Well, I mean, come on.
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:30.240
How how much how many times are you going to be out in ancient Rome?
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:35.920
I mean, the food availability was probably limited.
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:38.480
You know, but they did have like fast food there.
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.960
Yeah, they had the little stuff on a stick, right?
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.640
Yeah, you know, walk around.
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:44.319
Hey, I think I'm gonna go take a shit and talk about it.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:45.200
You get some nuts too.
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:45.839
You get some nuts.
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.799
Yeah, I get some nuts.
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.799
Maybe go watch some gladiators.
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.599
Yeah.
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:55.680
Go go have some little string mystery meat on a stick.
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.000
Hey, you guys want to go see where Caesar got killed?
00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:58.240
Huh?
00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:59.200
Yeah, come over here.
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.799
Yeah, it's right over there.
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.599
See that?
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.519
Yeah, that's where he got killed.
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:07.839
So if you're not good and don't finish your dinner, they'll kill you, too.
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.240
And don't eat too much cheese.
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.839
You know, that's that's what the emperor died from, kids.
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:14.960
You know that, right?
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.839
This is what happens when you're a cheese greedy maniac.
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:20.960
He ate too much Swiss cheese, you know, the whole cheese, right?
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.240
He ate too much of it.
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:28.160
God, I couldn't even imagine pounding a 10 pounds of cheese.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.079
And I like cheese.
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:31.680
And that's pushing it.
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:37.279
I'm not you see, but the thing is, I'm not a huge fan of eating Swiss cheese right off the brick.
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:37.599
No.
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:38.880
It's gotta be in a sandwich.
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:40.160
It's too much by itself.
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.519
Yeah, it's it or melted into something.
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:45.680
Yeah, fondue is good.
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:48.160
You can't just cut off a hunk of Swiss cheese.
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:49.599
Mouthdown cheese.
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:53.279
I can imagine him sitting in the back of this carriage just eating it like a candy bar.
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:54.880
You okay?
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:58.160
Do you want some bread?
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:00.400
What are you doing back there?
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:02.720
We can stop and get some bread.
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.960
He's not gonna make it, is he?
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:07.519
No, he's not gonna make it.
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:08.960
He's eating too much cheese.
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:10.000
He's at it again.
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:11.279
He's doing the cheese again.
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.559
He's doing the cheese thing again.
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:13.359
God damn it.
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:19.920
Alright, so let's just say he ate a pound of cheese.
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:20.880
Let's just say.
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:24.240
Look, like I said, I'm not fucking proud of it, okay?
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.079
They ate a fucking brick of cheese once.
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.079
I'm not I'm not proud of this.
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:37.039
So a a pound, one pound of Swiss cheese is 1,465 calories.
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:39.119
Oh, that's still within your daily limit.
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:42.799
In one brick of cheese.
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.839
Well, I mean, you probably, you know, don't eat anything else that day.
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:47.680
In one brick of cheese.
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.599
But yeah, you know, go ahead.
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:51.200
Have some cheese and some beer.
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:51.839
There you go.
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:52.960
You're fine.
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.359
So, so how, let's see.
00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:00.400
So I typed in the anime, how sick would you be after eating one pound of Swiss cheese?
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:11.759
Eating one pound of Swiss cheese in one sitting will likely cause severe digestive distress, heavy bloating, stomach cramps, and possibly nausea and vomiting.
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:16.640
Even though Swiss cheese is hard cheese, naturally low in lactose.
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:20.640
It would be considered what they call a digestive overload.
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:28.799
Consuming that much dense fat and protein and cheese in one sitting, you can expect intense fullness, gas, and abdominal discomfort and cramps.
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:33.519
You would also experience constipation and diarrhea at the same time.
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:38.720
High fat, low fiber, and often digestion.
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:44.960
All other digestion processes would be halted trying to figure out how to deal with the amount of cheese you just ate.
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:47.200
So even Triscots aren't gonna help.
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:49.200
We're shutting down all operations, everyone.
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:50.400
Meeting, come together.
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:52.240
We gotta we gotta figure out this cheese thing.
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.000
Yeah, figure out how to get that thing out of here.
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:57.039
Which way do you want to go, sir?
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:58.640
We go up, I guess.
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:00.880
That's the best, that's the only way to go.
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.920
Sodium and severe dehydration would happen.
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:05.440
That's just one pound.
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:18.000
I was supposed to cheese contains a massive amount of sodium and salt and saturated fashion, which would cause rapid water retention and loss, extreme thirst, temporary spikes in blood pressure, and a heavy sluggish filling.
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:28.640
You most of the time you would begin vomiting, and you would probably forcibly expel it because and you might have fever and chills.
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:33.839
So that's why, that's why they don't have cheese eating contests.
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:35.440
They could.
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:40.640
I don't think that would be a good idea to have a cheese eating content.
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:42.160
Oh yeah, people might die.
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:44.799
Yeah, cheese eating contest.
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.240
Uh, you have this one pound of gouda.
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:51.119
I mean do we all have the same cheese?
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.039
Yes, you all have the same cheese.
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.480
Uh how fast do we have to eat this pound of gouda?
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.480
Because I ate like an ounce once and I felt kind of weird.
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:04.240
You got a few hours because we're gonna be showing you the UFC fights.
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:05.920
UFC fights.
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.960
Isn't this how that emperor died?
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:10.240
Don't worry about that.
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.279
He ate much more than that.
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:12.640
He ate much more, yeah.
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:19.119
Probably contamination, it says in here, is a very common factor about cheese.
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:22.720
And also what it goes into, it describes in here in the AI.
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.880
Another factor we can think about is what did you eat that day?
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:35.359
So if you ate something already that was high in sodium or salt, and you had whatever food you had that day, depending on what time you consume it.
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:42.799
If you've already had breakfast and lunch, and then you eat a half pound or pound of cheese, you're probably not good for your system.
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:44.319
What'd you have for lunch today?
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:45.680
Well, I had cheese.
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.279
I had three dill pickles, giant ones.
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:51.279
Oh a handful of cheese.
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:52.960
You probably shouldn't eat this then.
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:55.039
You've already had a lot of salt.
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:59.119
So there's a thing going back to my some wine.
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:05.359
Um cheese contains varying amounts of sodium and salt from very low Swiss or cream cheese to high in fit.
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.880
Oh, that's also another point here I didn't even think of.
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:16.319
They said they used heavy salts back in ancient Rome for probably to preserve it.
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:16.799
Yeah.
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:22.400
So they probably use more than refrigerate it than today because they can't refrigerate it.
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.039
So you probably used a lot more salt back then.
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:28.880
So it's probably way more salty than it is now.
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:39.759
Sodium and potassium content cheese contains varying amounts of sodium from very low Swiss or cream cheese to high feta or processed varieties, a small amount of potassium.
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:42.640
I would drink about 35 milligrams per ounce.
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:48.799
If it does not provide the high potassium, sodium needed to counterbalance a heavy salt load.
00:28:50.640 --> 00:29:01.440
You may have heard of Penn State research studies suggesting that eating 170 grams, about four servings of cheese daily helped protect blood vessels functioning during a high salt diet.
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:06.000
However, this study did not mean cheese neutralizes the sodium potassium.
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:18.319
Researchers hypothesized that dairy peptides and antioxidants in cheese helped scavenge oxidant molecules that create created in blood vessels.
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:26.079
So you know, yeah, there's there's a lot of fucking health risks with doing this, with with eating, consuming this much cheese.
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:33.359
I don't know that I've ever consumed I've consumed, you know, cheese in a sitting, but I don't know if I've ever consumed a pound.
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:35.440
Have you have you ever consumed a pound of cheese?
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:37.599
What is a brick?
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:41.920
Is that like a that's probably a half pound.
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:43.119
Half pound of cheese?
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:43.599
Yeah.
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:45.119
That's a lot of cheese.
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:46.640
That was good though.
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.119
That's a lot of cheese.
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:54.079
It was good though.
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:58.880
So if you're gonna look at so how much is a standard brick of cheese?
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.640
A standard grocery store brick of cheese, typically yeah, that was pulling up the cost.
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:16.559
Okay, so a standard retail block or brick of cheese in a grocery store typically weighs eight eight to ten ounces, or also a half pound, and sometimes all the way up to a half pound.
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:24.160
Yeah, while specialty and traditional brick cheeses, loaves, they often come in five-pound industrial blocks.
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.440
I like how they call it an industrial block of cheese.
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:30.559
You're gonna cut it up and sell it later.
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:31.440
Yeah.
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:35.119
Now, now I've gotten some pretty fancy cheeses before.
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.880
Good boat cheese.
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:39.519
I've gotten some fancy ones.
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:51.759
But what what was the most per probably so the most common cheese, it looks like in ancient Rome, was Pecorino.
00:30:52.640 --> 00:31:08.799
An early ancestor of pecorino romano was one of the most common and widely consumed hard sheep's milk cheeses in Rome, in ancient Rome, serving as a standard daily ration for Roman legionnaires and a staple of everyday diets.
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:16.400
Pecorino cheese was made out of sheep's milk, produced from sheep's milk in the countryside around Rome.
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:21.359
This hard, heavy salted cheese was prized for its long shelf life.
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:28.480
Lots of calorie content and ease of transport for marching soldiers and armies.
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.720
Fresh and soft cheeses for daily urban consumption.
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:39.279
The Romans also heavily relied on fresh, soft cheeses made from goat's milk or cow's milk, often.
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:44.559
The cow's milk seemed like more of a wealthy product than the goat's milk.
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:48.000
It's cow's milk.
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.279
The best.
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:59.119
Smoked cheeses and herb-infused or pressed varieties were also documented by Roman writers like Pliny.
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:02.240
Pliny the I am Pliny the Elder.
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:09.519
And Cato the Elder, with gourmet imports arriving from Gaul and France.
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:11.519
So there you go.
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:16.240
That's that's that's a that's a cheese history lesson for you, folks.
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:17.680
Poor bastard.
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:20.079
That is the cheese lesson for you.
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.079
So yeah.
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:25.519
Now, if you want to know this question.
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.960
Yeah, I also get diet is some like some ibirico ham or the serrano ham from Spain.
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:32.319
That'd be a way to go.
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:35.359
That's probably a lot of sodium, too.
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.880
Maybe some paella.
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:41.839
Wow, so yeah.
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:42.960
There you go.
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:43.440
Yeah.
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:44.880
Prosciutto.
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:45.680
Yeah.
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:52.079
All right, so earliest evidence of cheese was seven to thousand seven to eight thousand years ago.
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:56.079
Looks like they found remains such as holed pottery.
00:32:56.400 --> 00:33:04.720
Clay found in Poland, Croatia, and Switzerland show early signs of possible cheese making and straining curds from whey.
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:19.759
Written records from around 4,000 years ago, talk about an ancient art form in Mesopotamia and Sumerian tablets, and also found in some Egyptian tomb walls mentioned cheese and dairy production.
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:23.359
Here we have a fully intact cheese turd.
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:25.920
Cheese turd passed after a binge.
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:26.720
Binge.
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:27.119
Yeah.
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:35.119
So the oldest discovered cheese, approximately 3,200 years old, a solid piece of cheese was found in ancient Egyptian tune.
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:35.920
Wow.
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:39.839
And is recognized as one of the oldest physical cheeses ever found.
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:49.759
The Romans looks like they crafted and they advanced the process of aging and smoking techniques in cheeses.
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:53.359
So we can thank the the Romans for that.
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:54.400
I like smoked cheese.
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:57.440
So most everybody else will just walk around and eat this plain fucking cheese.
00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:58.880
No, I've never made it.
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.720
Never made smoked cheese.
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:08.480
You gotta kind of put ice underneath it or above it, and then you put the cheese on the very bottom of your smoker away from the heat and everything.
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:11.119
You put like a tray full of ice over it.
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:12.800
Kind of keeps it cool a little bit.
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:13.920
Interesting.
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:16.400
I've never done it before.
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:17.119
Do it.
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:17.679
Do it.
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.239
Do it.
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:28.800
It looks like monasteries in medieval times across Europe, refined styles like the Rock Fort and Gorgonzola monster cheeses during the Middle Ages.
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:35.599
That's where some of some of the earliest cheeses were made.
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:40.239
Early cheese was made in animal stomachs.
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.719
I assume the animal was not using the stomach anymore.
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:50.960
The story I'm just saying.
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.199
Stomachs of ruminant animals.
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:57.440
I'm gonna borrow this for a minute.
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:02.159
The stomach linings naturally contain an enzyme called rennet.
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:07.920
Combined with desert heat and movement, the rennet caused the liquid milk to curdle.
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:15.760
Curds and whey, the milk separated into solid curds, which could be eaten or preserved in a liquid waveform and forming cheese.
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.719
Dude, okay, I'm gonna tell you tell you something right now.
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:24.239
That's gonna smell bad.
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:33.840
So if you're curding cheese in a stomach in an animal stomach, well, you know, there's I think there's a Turkish cheese that's wrapped in leather.
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.480
Well it ages.
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:38.320
It's supposed to be really good.
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:39.599
I've never tried it.
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:44.079
Maybe I should go on like a we should do a world cheese tour.
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:46.480
World cheese tour.
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.480
Cheese made out of stomachs.
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:55.280
Yeah, it's read a book.
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:56.800
Cheeses I ate.
00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:01.760
I would imagine that that cheese was probably discovered by complete accident.
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:09.039
I would think you know what's weird is like in Asia, you don't well, like Japan and stuff like that, you don't see a lot of cheese.
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:11.920
No, right, right, and Hawaii either.
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:13.360
You really don't see a lot of cheese.
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:13.840
No.
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.199
They have spam over there.
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:18.239
They have spam with cheese.
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:20.559
Well, you know, they say it's cheese.
00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:21.519
I don't think it really is.
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:22.480
Yeah, no.
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:26.079
What about Velveeta cheese and all those other ones?
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:26.559
Like craft.
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:32.239
So I mean they're must be cheese in it.
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:33.679
Right.
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:38.639
But but that's really not a solid like cheese form, like a cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, or anything like that.
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:42.800
So you got the Kraft sandwich cheeses, which is some kind of weird.
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.199
Good for making nachos, you know?
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.840
Yeah, I can't do the craft cheese on my sandwiches.
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.000
I gotta do real cheddar or something.
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:50.559
I can't use that.
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.599
Oh, you mean that like really soft cheese?
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:56.400
It looks like cheese, but brother, that ain't cheese.
00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:57.760
It's really not cheese.
00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:58.400
Yeah.
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:00.000
It's probably what he died from.
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:00.960
Cheese whiz.
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:02.079
Cheese whiz.
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:04.159
Like on if you're gonna make a Philly cheese steak.
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:04.320
Yeah.
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:05.440
Cheese whiz, yeah.
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:06.239
I'm all over that.
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:07.760
All over cheese whiz?
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.079
Yeah.
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:08.800
Yeah.
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:10.800
Yeah.
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:12.320
Uh uh fuck, I don't know.
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.960
But you know, this is a crazy episode.
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:20.159
I don't I don't think we've ever ever done an episode like this where we talk about cheese death.
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:21.679
Someone dying from cheese.
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:24.400
But man, did we learn some shit in here?
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:26.800
God, God, we learned a lot in this episode.
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:27.840
We're smarter now.
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:29.039
We are smarter.
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:34.800
We we know you shouldn't eat anywhere between one to five pounds of cheese in one sitting.
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.960
That's probably really bad.
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:43.280
And that the cheeses today are a lot less salted than they were in ancient Rome because they didn't have a refrigerator.
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:44.320
Probably a good thing.
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:45.599
Yeah, they didn't have a fridge.
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:47.840
So they had to put it, they had to do something with it.
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:51.119
Maybe you find a nice goat stomach to put it in or something.
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:51.840
I don't know.
00:37:52.880 --> 00:38:02.559
So so if me and you were in ancient Rome right now, walking down the street, you'd pull a piece of cheese out of your pocket, because that's where you kept it.
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:03.440
Oh.
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:05.039
Did you bring lunch today?
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:06.639
No, I just bought some cheese.
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:12.320
Till we go out and get some lamb on a stick.
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:14.239
I figure I could tie myself over.
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:15.840
I tied myself over.
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:17.920
You just pull some out of your pocket.
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:20.880
Because it would sit on a shelf for like months.
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:26.559
And they said even that you could carve off the moldy part of the cheese and you could still eat the rest.
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:31.119
Or you could eat the moldy parts like a nice stilton or blue cheese.
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:33.360
I hadn't thought of that.
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:35.519
I love stilton.
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:36.320
Do you?
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:38.800
I'm not a big blue cheese guy.
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:44.800
You ever see because I like grilled cheese and I won't make it out of stuff like blue cheese or stilton or brie.
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:46.000
That's hardcore, man.
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:48.639
Thin sliced tomato on top.
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:49.840
That's hardcore, man.
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:53.199
Going for a blue cheese, grilled cheese sandwich, that's fucking hardcore.
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:58.960
That that proves that Detective Burke, you must have been alive in ancient room.
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.920
In fact, you probably knew this guy in your former life.
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:04.639
You're probably the guy who sold him the cheese.
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:05.519
You're the cheesemaker.
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.519
Hey, you might as well finish it off.
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:11.519
It's a good cheese.
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:12.400
It's almost done.
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:13.920
You should just go ahead and finish it off.
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.119
That Berkeus Aranius makes some great cheese.
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:21.039
He's a great cheesemaker.
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:22.880
Oh my god, he's dead.
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:26.960
So, anyway, so that's uh we went into the history of cheese.
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:31.840
We talked about cheese, we talked about safety hazards with cheese, what cheese can do for you.
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:34.079
So this is Don't be a maniac with cheese.
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:35.039
Don't be a maniac.
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.039
Eat your cheese responsibly.
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:38.239
Don't be a maniac.
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:39.920
Because you'll fucking die.
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:41.360
You'll die.
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:44.320
And then you'll die with a belly full of cheese poop.
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:46.559
And then and then you'll be sad.
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:48.159
And then you'll be sad.
00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:51.199
But hey, anyway.
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:53.519
You kind of feel bad for the guy.
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:54.480
I do.
00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:56.400
I do actually, especially if you love cheese.
00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:58.559
You know, I love cheese too, but I don't want to die from it.
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:01.599
I don't want to fucking I don't want to die.
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:04.880
You know, but hey, you know what we did today?
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:06.079
We did something off.
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:09.679
We're supposed to do a grab bag today, because this is episode 210.
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:19.599
We decided to postpone that until Sergeant RJ gets back from missions abroad from his trips to space, wherever he's going.
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:24.800
And then after he comes back, we'll do 211 will be our grab bag episode, which will be our next one after that.
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.800
Which is a bonus because it's an even shorter in between grab bags then.
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:29.519
Yeah.
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:38.000
So that will be coming out on like around November 2nd-ish, second, third will be the the grab bag.
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:39.840
So look for that.
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:42.000
Keep your eyes peeled for that one.
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:44.800
And thank you for joining us today on episode 210.
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:46.639
You've got a dinner that week, too.
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:48.239
I do have a dinner.
00:40:48.719 --> 00:40:50.000
I do have a dinner.
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:52.719
We've got some big news here in a couple weeks.
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:54.000
I do have some big news.
00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:56.559
Yeah, a dinner that was not planned by me.
00:40:57.760 --> 00:40:59.679
I had no part in that.
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:04.960
Yeah, but that's that's our cheese episode and the Emperor Who Died of Cheese.
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:06.880
Cheese exposure.
00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:09.199
I'm gonna buy cheese while we're there.
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:10.400
You should.
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:11.360
You should get some cheese.
00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:12.880
I just get the cheese sampler.
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:14.719
Can I get some gorgonzola?
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:16.400
I like garganzola.
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:17.760
Yeah, that's good, yeah.
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:18.400
Yeah.
00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:20.960
Gouda, all kinds of good stuff.
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:25.519

Grab yourself some merchandise from our Etsy storefront and send us cheese.
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:41.039
We should have like a cheese knife or something on that.
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:42.239
A cheese knife?
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:43.280
Oh, like a cheese knife.
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:44.000
Oh, a cheese knife.
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:47.119
A little cutting board and a cheese knife that says detective re on it.
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:48.559
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:49.760
I don't know if we can do that or not.
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:50.239
I don't know.
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:50.960
Kind of cool.
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:51.440
Yeah.
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:53.760
Great for the holidays.
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:59.039
Good, good for your uh cheese board or they call it a charcuterie.
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:00.320
Charcuterie board.
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:00.719
That's it.
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:01.920
Charcuterie board.
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:02.559
There you go.
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:03.119
