There is a saying that those of us with expertise and degrees in history and are of a more erudite predisposition or inclination, if you will, are wont to say: History, she is a fickle mistress and she doth move in mysterious ways. How are trench knives and my benefactor William's seemingly confused and misplaced resentment of Winston Churchill related? Several Ways. 1. Winston Churchill fought in WWI. So did these trench knives. 2. Most importantly - Trench knives and Churchill both = history. If you think about it or choose to not think about it too hard it makes sense. PS: William, if you read this, while your positions on Winston Churchill may SEEM confused and misplaced to those less familiar with history, as I have assured you before, they are not. You are simply picking up on some far more obscure historical information than most have access to, which may make it SEEM misguided and nonsensical to the layperson.

Sorry I missed this! I would love to see it and provide some valuation! You are reaching out to an expert in history, so this is in my wheelhouse.

@Frank McGovern great response

@Frank McGovern I want to get one eventually. Buy once cry once, so I'm trying to do my due diligence

Keep being this uncouth on my channel, Philistine, and you're likely to get your knob jobbed.

Im tickling the TH-cam algorithm with this comment

@@Butterduckt I thank you, viewer Jay Wallace, for your support!! *Sigh* And as per the helpful instructions from the people at McGovern Collection, in return, allow me to wish you a Merry #nipslip and a Happy #hottestcelebsideboob

Well done good sir

How DARE you. I am an EXPERT with a DEGREE in history. A degree that I went to a number of SCHOOLS to get. Not kid ones either. UNIVERSITIES and colleges. TWO of them, to be precise. I will NOT be talked down to by regulars who wouldn't know a FAP helmet from a good pair of British rubbers.

Like and subscribe and share on your favorite social platforms, however.

I don't know who you are or what kind of sick vendetta you have against the highest level history expertise but I did NOT attend POCC. IN FACT, both POCC and Grand Canyon University ACTIVELY attempted to recruit me into their programs, including by sending me offers via video before many of the most prestigious videos on this very platform, TH-cam. And guess what, I turned them BOTH DOWN. I attended the two arguably most prestigious colleges in my state, passing any number of the courses I took with flying colors and getting a degree to boot. I guess you were just selected as the starting quarterback for Fail University's football team - The Tampa Bay SUCKaneers. And you just fumbled your way into winning a scholarship for all four years; which you don't want because every course at Fail University is just more failing.

Huh, I guess the fact that this video went viral, with OVER 57 TIMES more views than it took to make it says otherwise.

Also just curious, is that some sort of trench dog in your lap?

​@@williammcgovern8478 - Not to blow on my own horn but yes, you are not likely to find a more qualified history expert, anywhere. Perhaps ever. Your wife should know that there's literally no way you could do better, expert-wise. In fact, trying to do so would likely result in all of these history investments being lost or damaged or stolen. Not to mention the FACT that many other so-called history experts, most, I'd venture to say, are mostly experts in finding generous, informed couples and taking advantage of their goodwill by killing them and doing bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen things with their corpses. I've seen it happen dozens of times. Lol! Laugh out loud, as it were! That is simply a fun misunderstanding that we can both now enjoy since we are about to understand it. You can trust the multiple videos and hundreds of eyewitness accounts from the school demonstrating that I was indeed there. Including the live-stream you watched at the time. The vice-principal, or VP, there was referring to how I "blew him off" in his office because he requested that I join the school's staff as a six-figure salary history leader and school mantiques comptroller. I turned him down because I have loyalty. He would probably lie about that if asked though, typical. Same thing with the VP at Northsouthern Elementary who probably was telling you about how I followed him to his car in the parking lot and "jerked him around" in the backseat by turning down a six-figure job offer that he thought I would take. Regarding Messrs. Honeycutt and Stosich, they are experts but not... EXPERTS, you know? Can we tap them for their expertise when necessary? Of course. Should you use your money you have that your wife is kind enough to chaperone briefly before transferring it over to you for the purpose of mantiques and my expertise to hire them? No.

@@williammcgovern8478 - Yes! Well-spotted! "Trench dogs" are a thing that existed in both world wars and I chose this one because of its trench ancestry. This is exactly the kind of INVALUABLE insights and benefits we are able to both be so, so happy about and count on because you and your lovely wife are wise (and lucky) enough to have formed this profitable and mutually-beneficial history expertise relationship with my expertise and degree skill.

Thank you, viewer Andy H. Although you wrote "Lol." And while I entirely get the joke and understand what is funny, there is another level on which, despite understanding it, I'm not sure why you feel compelled to laugh out loud about important oral history/history oral.

@@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025 It's probably too low brow, apologies. I was laughing about how this is oral history about oral history! It's a fun play on words! Anyway, I just ordered my own trench toothbrush and can't wait to try it out. Amazon only had it in a large or extra large. I went with extra large because I have pretty big teeth for my age.

​@@andyh2164 LOL As it were! Delightful observation! That is exactly what I suspected the joke was about and said as much in the video! Which is recorded should anyone have any doubt about that. There is nothing lowbrow about experts having a good laugh over charming wordplay that will no doubt soar right over the expertise-free heads of the degree-less regulars who watch this. I have to warn you that the large and extra-large toothbrushes you find on Amazon are almost certainly going to be reproductions and not original trench toothbrushes, such as per the one I now have... temporary custody over. Thanks to the largesse of William, history f*cking genius that he is. The good news is that, as with all things throughout history (excepting Mondays, am I not right), the technology has improved since our forefathers were overseeing each other's oral situations in the trenches. For instance, they now have vibrating trench toothbrushes. I have ordered an extra large one of those myself to shake that plaque and tartar free. I wouldn't want to risk an actual mantique in front of children, whom I have learned are almost universally, viewers' children excluded, no less than callous, gibbering psychopaths. However, for my next educational outing to a school I am going to bring one of those vibrating trench toothbrush replicas and use it vigorously in front of the children to reinforce the importance of history, oral hygiene, and respecting your elders. This time I am sure they will respond with rapt engagement unlike the tittering little monsters who have thus lately RUINED my carefully crafted presentations.

@@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025 you know, I'm something of a trench dentist myself

@@andyh2164 - I'm counting on it...

It doesn't take a history degree to recognize that you have better taste in TH-cam and life in general than 99.9999% of the Philistines out there... but it helps!! Just a little joke there, based on an older historical joke about how for some jobs you don't have to be mentally ill to hold that job, but somehow it is helpful. I never understood which jobs that referred to but it seemed relevant for this comment. Thank you for being someone who recognizes world-class historical content from top-tier experts with degrees in the subject. And be sure to watch my most recent video in which wherein you may thusly learn about both fighting knives and the importance of oral in the trenches! Hygiene! Oral hygiene!

@@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025 😄

Just something to think about, Frank.

​@@andyh2164 - Do you think the world wants to hear about what the Canadians did to enemies during every war from WWI to the current Middle Eastern engagements that necessitated them saying "Sorry?" Do you think they want to know ANYTHING about acts of war SO extreme that the... Canadians involved in that war had to apologize?? CANADIANS... IN WAR?!? A plan that began after they cleaned out a trench at Kitchener's Wood with nothing but piss masks, hand-to-hand combat, and fathomless rage? Of course the world wants to hear about it. That's why I am saving it for another video. Do you want me to blow my historical lode on something that important in a video that is already packed to the goddamn gills with priceless historical insights? No, that is silly. Although I know you recognize that and your comment was rhetorical. Based on the level of history expertise you have shared elsewhere.

I'm not a Canadian, and I also don't watch hockey, but I can confirm this as well.

For the love of GOD, don't use my video to write this sort of thing! Do you want Canadians to see this?? There are wars happening right now!

​@@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025 have you encountered, during one of your doubtless in depth study of the Canadian warfare engagement, the curious fact related to their trench toothbrushes and their diminutive size, compared to the rest of the world wartime oral hygiene practices? It is said, probably spuriously, that they also used the same device for other purposes than 'bellis dentium emundatione', purposes than required thinned instruments, given their sordid uptightness...

All excellent and accurate historical insights to consider and I have to apologize for any historical lapses. And an argument could definitely be made that because Hitler was mentioned in the video, it was basically WWII and the Nazis being discussed, because of how WWI set the stage in so many ways for that conflict. Plus, Vietnam was considered part of Indochina, I'm pretty sure, and we can't say that that played no role in World War ONE, the war being discussed, can we? Along with the implied discussion of WWII, obviously. This is one of my favorite things about collaborating with William that I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with, viewers. He and other regular people like like him commenting here on TH-cam threads bring a fresh perspective and insight to the historical "facts" that us experts with degrees in the GD subject take for granted. It can't hurt to consider alternatives to WIDELY accepted narratives that really seem pretty f*ckin crystal clear, but hey, maybe they're not. And it's great for me to have this kind of thing called out in public. No true expert resents learning more from the people with the money to underwrite their scholarship, because that MUST mean that they succeeded on their own merits, right?

We're talking WWI here, Bill, just FYI. I got your mantique hanging.

@@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025 do you know this Andy H peon who dares try to insult me? Apparently he is not aware of the tenuous grasp you already have on my collection of mantiques. You should silence him before I cut funding.

@@williammcgovern8478 I am more upset than I can tell you, William, that viewer Andy H has decided to insult you thusly. You should apologize immediately, viewer Andy H! While there's TECHNICALLY not anything I could do if you continued to insult William over and over and over again, in increasingly personal and effective ways, that sure would be a terrible thing that I would have NO patience for. It is by his generosity and... all of the history knowledge he has about history that I am able to make these videos. I have no problem with that arrangement. So you don't say that stuff. Don't mention anything related to lies about how he doesn't know the f*cking difference between WWI and WWII.

GREAT question, viewer gigichrist. I have actually been asked the same question by another viewer: here is my answer. The fact that this has come up more than once is indicative of a shortcoming that I, as an expert, am embarrassed to admit: I have failed to clarify just how advanced my level of expertise is and whereforth from hence it came. From now on in my educational videos I'm going to make a point of mentioning this: I not only have a degree, gigichrist, but it is indeed a degree in history: Exactly the topic being discussed. "From whernce though?" you may ask (a portmanteau combination of where and whence). The answer is: an accredited university. IN FACT: I went to TWO accredited universities. Twice the number that your average normie muddles through with. So, as you can see: yes, I may have a little bit of background in the subject. (I'm just kidding, of course, I have a lot more than a little bit of background in it, I'm a degree'd expert.)

Also, for all of my fans who peruse, as it were, all of the comments on my viral videos to suck every last drop of historical knowledge and expertise from these expert-level history lessons from a degree-holding expert... Be sure to enjoy my most recent video in which Expert Stosich shares his expertise regarding the important of oral commitment in WWII.

Once again, Frank, if that is your real name, I don't see a reply.

@@andyh2164 TESTING!! WHY WILL THIS NOT WORK?? If it does end up working, thank you for lending your considerable expertise to my most recent video! I await the coming of you and expert Stosich with bated breath!

You’re welcome. You don’t have to shame me in public for it. Who wins when someone’s feelings are hurt? Besides the person who bested them and then feels appropriately superior? Tell me that.

An EXCELLENT question, viewer Todd Buchanan. Hopefully this will prove helpful to others with the same question. My expertise in this (and all) historical subjects has elicited some understandable curiosity regarding how exactly I came by this kind of virtually comprehensive, encyclopedic historical knowledge. I probably forgot to mention it in the video but I actual have a degree in history from a university. That and mine own extensive studies into all things historical and mantique have established the level of expertise you are now all lucky (blessed?) enough to enjoy and benefit from here.

@@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025 I think of you mentioned it the video i would have remembered. Perhaps you should mention it more often to remind us viewers of it.

I usually can’t stand “notes” from people who may not have… a certain level of expertise in certain subjects, but you have bucked the trend and made an excellent suggestion. I believe I will.

@@franktheexpertstrenchclub9025 you have gained a loyal follower. I look forward to learning what you have to offer.

It is inspiring to me to encounter people who have such unbelievably good taste. I thank you, and a fine chapeau fromage to you too, my good sir.
