I'm in Paris for work, exhausted, and still with jet lag. I was writing an urgent report when I started listening to your podcast, and I fell asleep. Thanks God your laugh woke me up, I just finished the report, and finally it's bedtime. I hope I don't dream of monks, cardinals, and bishops.
Dan, you're spoiling me rotten! This image of John of Gaunt and portuguese king D. João I is very famous here in Portugal, it's featured in every school history book covering the middle ages. I recognised it immediately. Great way to finish off the week! Off to listen to the pod!
Hi Dan - I often find that people only think of Henry 8 as fat and slothful psycho misogynist - when he was in fact once a young and athletic psycho misogynist
Well I learned some new lingo for work. Strimming and whipper snipper lol I believe you are talking about weedeating or string trimming here in the US. Love it. Enjoyed the mental image of 40 year old Henry vs 20 year old Francois. Great listen on my dog walk this evening.
My Dad didn't want me to watch Silence of the Lambs for whatever reason, even when I was 18. I saw Se7en when I was 16 or 17 one evening. That movie freaked me out. I slept with the lights on. When I finally saw Silence of the Lambs, I wasn't really bothered by it. Yeah, some of it was gross. Maybe Se7en helped. I don't know.

Yep. I'd be an abbess if I had to live in the middle ages. I'd run an infamously corrupt house of radical, educated, lesbians. Great minds, Jones.

Thanks for the treat Dan!
Have a nice one!
Gotta love the wipper snipper!
Sorry Dan, when you said a corrupt bishop I had visions of you as the Baby-Eating Bishop of Bath & Wells.🙈
We call it "wacking" as in weed. LOL Also, Cardinal is perfect, you gotta have the red going.

Can’t wait to tuck into a tasty por-poise sandwich. And obvs your medieval job is a chronicler.
Marco Polo brought back noodles to Italy, at least that's what I learned watching the animated Bill and Ted series.

The Porpoise has no purpose.

Big up Dan Jones! Just one more MFing time. Hilarious
