CGP, YOU CAME TO MY HOMETOWN, HOW DID I NOT SEE YOU ON THE FERRY!!
#KingGeorge
Now it still smells like a garbage dump
I loved it now the illuminati
LOVE the little stick-girl children fighting as the judge boredly observes. Hilarious! Man, you’re good.
“Due to the extreme heat forecast for this weekend, the house will be closed”
*Torrential rain 5 minutes later*
@evilvitamin You still sweat while hot even if wet. You sweat while swimming.
XD convectional precip maybe still kinda funny tho
In the NY/NJ area, it’s brutally humid and hot in July. All that rain did was make it more miserably hot and humid.
They feared grey
Welcome to the mid atlantic… Hot with humitlty

Grey: WHERE ARE YOU, MYSTERIOUS BOAT MAN?!!?
As a historian, this is AMAZING. I’m going to show this to my classes during discussions on the work of history and how to value and evaluate sources. Such a great video.
@Hebl von Heblowitz Nero was treated as a complete shithead by historians for centuries because the Bible has a lot of mean things to say about Roman people. Then the actual Roman histories discuss Nero and describe him as quite the philanthropist. It’s literally a conspiracy theory that he burned Rome to build a new palace.
@Hebl von Heblowitz A family member of mine works for my local historical society and has a ton of tales about facts being wrong because almost every historian that looks at our town has the same late 19th century book as their primary source for colonial information. Turns out the author pulled a lot of stuff out of his ass, mostly inventing dates when he couldn’t find precise information (making a TON of dates in some published book on the subject wrong by + – 5 years).
@Fluffy Kat Let’s not forget tho that many Roman historians weren’t really writing in a neutral way. Some of them to keep in good terms with the current leader, spat on the previous ones if needed and enlighted the current one.
@LeSarthois It almost as if history is one long game of telephone and only archaeological evidence can tell us with any certainty.
That’s a really good point
I like how with every video Gray gets a little more crazy every time.
Wow, you really went that extra mile (no pun intended) to make this video ! Bravo ! Bravo.
I have an inkling now why so much time passes between some of the videos.
Just an inkling?
Just an inkling
Woomy
@SnapClapplePop Would that be a REALLY exclusive inkling?
CGP Grey: I don’t need to solve this mystery, the answers on the other side of the world. CGP Grey *2 seconds later*: *books flight*
Me: “Why don’t you just fly across the ocean for this”
Grey: *something something sunk cost fallacy, better buy some tickets*
Also Grey: I bought tickets but I am waiting on standby for my flight
Is this Indiana Jones 5: the Search for Billop’s Staten Island Insanity
CGPGrey angrily trying to find old information in poorly mantained archives… Now *that* is content.
“Where is the truth?”
Just over… Disoway….
Get out
I want to be mad… really i do, but this shit eating grin on my face tells a different story.
Guttube +++
Ladies and gentlemen, CGP Grey presents “A day in the life of a historian”
Grey: “I need to go to New York”
Mrs. Grey: “Why?”
Grey:
Mr Grey: the turth is out thier, cue X-files music
Good comment, but Lady Grey is a better name.
Let’s be honest, she probably got tired of him complaining to her about it and said “just go to America and find out in person”
_Internet Man is irrationally angry about a dead guy lying for eleven minutes and six seconds_
*2 months
@CGP Grey You didn break into the house or dig up the grave… I think you lack commitment.
XD
@Nekogami-Crystal am I really going to defile this grave for content? *Of course I am!*
@freezaplanet419 not for content, but for truth!
@Arian the great both are not mutually exclusive
I like the resonance of the rainbow in the story at the beginning and the rainbow in the graveyard at the end
Yeah, this all came together for him quite well.
And the end of the rainbow is Disoway.
Its very telling of your personality that you react to a Supreme Court case about state lines like one would watching a celebrity roast and its very nice.
This video is just a passive-aggressive response to everyone who says he takes too long to make videos.
