I bet when he stood on that mountain and looked at both oceans, he said to himself 'Isthmus be my lucky day'
Well played👏
Underrated comment
@@samanthacable5966 That's only because no body else is using their 'Mike Tyson voice' when they read it.
Genius pun sir!!

Found this channel by accident hours ago and this is how I've spent my Saturday night. Awesome videos 😄
It's really a great channel, isn't it?!
This is how I've spent my Christmas Evening.
Sounds like a fun Saturday night.
I found his channel Friday and have spent two days binge watching lol
You made the right choice. I have been following this channel for long and can't get enough of it.
"i-land"
*Apple:* im listening
lmao
The acting was so well done in the intro. It was subtle and not overly exaggerated. 😀
Joe used to be an actor ;)
Not to mention the excellent writing, filming and editing :D !
@@kevinsmit96
ActOr!....?
What DO you mean, "ActOr"?
(shuffles off stage left)
Nah...that’s his day job.
Had me in stitches xD
Luv ya Joe hahahaha
My grandparents helped build the canal and grew up in the canal zone. My grandmother and I were fortunate enough to attend the inauguration of the Canal expansion project in 2016 too. I really enjoy this video because it filled in some gaps for me about just how dangerous and long this project was. Thanks for doing this one!!
the isthmus of panama is actually really good game design. A barrier that is small once you have the right technology to get through it but requires a long route to get around before it. It's a nice satisfying reward for the player unlocking advanced terraforming
bruh wrong channel lol
@@sheepmasterrace yeah but he was definitely blasted when he posted this
One toke over the line, sweet jesus...
You may be too young to get the reference, but don't worry. Lawrence Welk didn't, either.
This dude is on a higher plane of existence than us...
Honestly... i think you should make "Bureau of naming things" a thing. Like a show. It was great.
Agreed.
Yes
It'd would run stale after awhile tho. Too basic of a thought,for a whole show based around it
@@alanbolen2880 2 or 3 episodes would be fine and totally enough.
Ye but not loads of them cos it might get quite boring after like 5 episodes
Really depressed today. Being alone so much forces me into my head. These videos pull me out and make me think rationally. Thank Scott. Youre the MAN.
"Bows to the King of Bobs"
I hear ya. Feel the same way about videos pulling us back out of our heads. I like to use Wintergatan on wednesdays for the same reason. Great community & it turns my mind to better thoughts.
I love this channel for similar reasons. Joe is calming, everything is researched, and it's never pandering. Super helpful for my anxiety and like you said, pulls my out of my own head.
Also, glad to hear you're feeling better, hang in there, man .
Another reason you're so wonderful man, you attract such genuine and kind heart folk.
Thank you guys, i mean it.
@@dolphin8815 I do believe we've just made each other feel better :) Sometimes it just helps knowing you're not alone. Have a great night (or day depending on where you are), stay strong, and I'm sure I'll catch you in the comments section more often, as I'm a new subscriber here :)
Hello Mr Scott, thank you for this video, it has a lot of meaning for me and my family history, my grandfather a man named Paul Christopher Sr. a native of Honduras was conscripted along with hundreds of others in the early 1900's to go to Panama and work on the construction of the Panama canal, America had taken over the project from the French, US Marines were involved in overseeing the work force, at some point many of the workers became ill due to malaria and began to die, many workers wanted to leave but were held at gun point by the US Marines sent there by Teddy Roosevelt, my grandfather and several others slipped away in the dead of night literally cutting their way through the jungle using machetes and eventually going thru Costa Rica, Nicaragua and back to his home in Honduras and if he had not been successful in his escape l would not be here to tell you this story today, again thank you for your story of the Panama Canal ! 🙂
Hi Jeffrey.
- I just wanted to say: 😲
Thank you for a really interesting comment.
Cheers from Iceland 🇮🇸

😢
@@karlbark Thank you Karl, be careful in Iceland l see there's been some volcanic activity
Joe does a skit where he has a meeting/conversation with himself
Joe: It's the only way I can have an intelligent conversation around here.
I just want to know which version of himself was the one who had to use the DeLorean?
Hoooooly shit that was funny
Then proceeds to make a dick joke lol
Better than having an imaginary friend who's Japanese. I can't understand a word he says.
@@jocktheripper2073 imagine-asian
"A silent 's'? Wouldn't that be confusing?"
"Extremely."
I laughed so hard. Nice :D
Yeah, sketches are getting better.
It'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience
That cracked me up
Is like every American inventing their English words haha it gets to a point were it doesn't even makes sense, this shit doesn't have any rules the way they pronounce it is so random
@@javieraguirre9135 Exactly, they don't even agree among themselves.
I only recently found this channel and have been soaking up as many videos as possible. The "Wouldn't that be confusing?", "Extremely" bit killed me! Funny and educational. Can't beat it.
Fun factoid:
The Eastern entrance to the Panama canal is further West than the Western end.
Massimo O'Kissed too cool. I double checked, and yep! Awesome.
Standard trivia question: which ocean is at the East end and West end of the PC?
Like how Virginia reaches farther west than West Virginia.
Massimo O'Kissed
& grovermatic L O L ; ^ )
Or...
What US state is the most west, east, north? Alaska for All three directions!
Joe, that intro skit... So well written and delivered! You should hire those two actors again 😏
I feel the whole thing should have a recast
I usually hate those kinds of skits but this one was pretty good.
Ryan George has made a whole series of videos using this concept. It's funny how similar it was to his "How Things Got Their Names" series, except his is more overtly funny.
From a US-Panama historian...MASTERFULL! Excelent presentation, very accurate. Thank you and KUDOS!
That intro tho. You should do more sketch like that!!!
He's done plenty of skits in past videos
@@Fanrose2475 find me one with that level of production and writing. I'll wait.
This, th-cam.com/video/J5A5guJGt7g/w-d-xo.html
I love the little skits he does.
@@Fanrose2475 one per year and a half isnt what I call "plenty".
As a Panamanian, I might say you did good researching! haha
Your very beautiful!!!
Actually, he left out the part where US Congress had to vote which country to build the canal through, Nicaragua or Panama. One entrepreneur invested heavily in Panama. To make sure he'd profit from it, he convinced Congress by showing them landscapes of Nicaragua depicting an active volcano along with a picture of a ruin Spanish church in Panama which had a single arch intact. It was enough for Congress to vote in favor of Panama by several votes.
@@KuDastardly : Wasn't it a Democrat majority Congress?
Lol ur country like a inch long
A Panamanian with a pretty face with a cute nose :)
I enjoyed your video very much. Two interesting things about Panama: The Scots project to set up colonies on both sides of the isthmus bankrupted the country and lead almost directly to the act of union with the England. The reason for less deaths in the second phase of building wasn't only pest control but the fact that they used West Indians of West African origin as most of the labour. This people had a much higher resistance to yellow fever and malaria. A lot of them settled in Panama afterwards.
"won't that get confusing?"
"Extremely..."
LOL I love your skits
Finally... Now it's clear to me why "island" is pronounced "iland"
Introducing the new iLand!
More like, eyeland
In confused are you talking about an small land surrounded by water or the country island or Iceland
We say isssssland, but we are Reptilian, so there ya go. Back to the heat lamp...
yeah.. I always just thought it was because every island was owned by apple
not really tho
"The Bureau of Naming Things" - lmao!! Thanks for giving me a great laugh, Joe, I really needed it.
That office scene for naming things had no business being that good lol
"A man, a plan, a canal - Panama." My favorite palindrome.
I love palindromes! Thanks.
Ian Hillan A classic 😎
Man oh man!
That one's clever.
Mine is "Bob"
by Weird Al
Amazing. I've seen videos where Joe talks about his interest in comedy and his previous career in advertising but seeing all of his different worlds collide in this intro was incredible.
"…ten nine elevens." It's amazing how easily you can parse some sentences which should be confusing.
It's like 9/11 x 10!
1000dots IX/XI X X
Lmao that's so true.
wait, is that why americans call 911 for emergency?
"So was getting permission to build in Panama rather difficult?"
"Actually it was super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Woah. Your blowing my mind, man. I didn't expect Ryan or George in a Joe Scott comment section.
I don't know!!
"mimicking someone's sketch formula is tight!" (love you Joe, it was a funny intro. but throw Ryan George a mention will ya?)
@@jasoncramer6717 I love Ryans videos too but he's hardly the first person to do use that particular formula and he certainly doesn't own it. Calm down, fan girl.
I'm gonna have to ask you to back all the way off here.
Man, you are great. I randomly found you the other day and watched, and I said, This guy is a teacher. At heart. Today was the first time I understood how locks worked, and you did it as a quick aside with graphics. And YES, I agree, the acting was great in the intro... your eyes spoke volumes, and it was very well-written skit, SNL-worthy!
A laughed so hard because in Hungarian we pronounce Iceland like island just with a z. XD
Pretty close to the native way of saying it. Ísland.
Hey i didn't know other Hungarians watched Joe.

Teddy Roosevelt's Palindrome: a man a plan a canal Panama
Ha! Now _that's_ alliteration. It took me like 4 tries to read that sentence out loud and even more when I started rearranging the words or tossing in some other similar sounding ones. Well done sir!
It actually took me a minute to read it backwards, but yeah... Excellent example of a palindrome.
The stairs are always San Juan Hill.
Cool
Panama-ah-ha-oh-oh-oh-oh...Panama!
I just now found your channel and I think it's cool. Thank you for history presented with humor and a certain amount of irony.
Joe: "The only construction project that killed more people was the Burma railway..."
Great Wall of China: "Am I a joke to you?!?" 400,000 people...
You beat me to it. The GWofC is unquestionably the deadliest construction project in history, although the Great Canal of China is probably second.
Nope, it's ~270 people/mile, so almost twice less deadly
@@jacek5809 read the quote...
@@badgerwatkins To be precise, a few sentences later he added a disclaimer "in modern history". But whatever, technically you're right if we take that quote separately. Cheers! :)
What about all these building constructions in the Emirates....?
Joe: 500 people died per mile
WWI: those are rookie numbers, you gotta get those up
Yes, but he does say in peace time. Numbers in war are always high. Look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
@@my3dviews Those were just two bombs. The total death toll was well over 100k.
@@-eternal Yes, but the point is that the Panama Canal had a high death toll for peace time. WWI numbers are spread out over 4 years+. The numbers at the two Japanese cities was within a few days.
So, yes, war numbers are much higher than the Panama Canal, that is not in dispute, and wasn't in this video either.
@@my3dviews On a side note, the Battle of Stalingrad lost 2 million.
@@SidneyCritic The number that I found on that is 1.12 million, but still very high loss of life.
www.worldatlas.com/articles/deadliest-battles-in-human-history.html
The construction of St. Petersburg on inhospitable swampland resulted in a death toll between 30,000 and 100,000. Most who worked on it were serfs or POWs. Would be interesting for you to cover it next!
That was incredibly interesting and educational! I just love how you fill in all the spaces that were missed in my schooling. There have been many times I have wanted to sue my high school for failing to learn me, but it's just more funner to watch your channel!

I was stationed in Panama in the 1990's. Beautiful country. I remember fishing for Peacock Bass on Lago Gatun. Those fish are aggressive. They'd hit any lure I put in the water. The French just abandoned all of their equipment. Teddy Roosevelt had the abandoned French train cars melted down and formed into medals which were given to all the surviving workers.
Came here for the feeling of existential dread, stayed for the sketches
Loved this video. You managed to condense 400 years of history into a highly interesting 15 minutes. Genius, sir.
Great video, Joe! I'd like to point out though, that the modern historians estimate 50 000 - 85 000 deaths during the construction of the White Sea - Baltic canal.
And the builders of "The Road of Bones", the Kolyma Highway (estimated up to 1 000 000 deaths), would turn in their shallow graves under the road if they knew how they were completely forgotten here.
That opening scene was AWESOME!
^5s 🖐️all around! (high 5)
"Hold my sangria" I'm gonna try my hardest to use that phrase in real life.
We need a t-shirt!!
I used to live in Colon, Panama. What's missing in this description is that the two Oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic are at two different elevations so that a level canal would not be possible. An important fact the American engineers must had considered before going ahead. Don't know about the French.
Joe, I've seen a lot on TH-cam but you are really great. Easy going, knowledgeable and fun. Thanks for that.
"Ten 9/11s?"
"Yes. Nine thousand, one hundred and ten."
Joe opened the Team America reference door, I followed.
This comparison was in very poor taste; it compares apples with oranges, and involves the deaths of people whose loved ones are still around. 9/11 was a deliberate mass murder; the workers who died building the Panama Canal (or any other civil engineering work) were NOT deliberately killed.
@@DieFlabbergast does that make it any less of a tragedy? I’m failing to follow your logic.
I lived in the CZ from 73-76. My dad was in the Army and was stationed at Ft Davis. I have so many memories of things there; friends of my parents spoke Spanish and took us all over the place. I’ve been through the Canal on a submarine (it was a family thing); I’ve been swimming and gone fishing in Gatineau Lake; we visited old forts and saw so many things. Very different time.
whats the CZ?
Canal Zone. A US territory from the 1900s until 1977. I miss it so much! My dad conducted a scientific study of the fruit bats there (for the Smithsonian) from 1975 through 1985 with follow on studies until his death in 2000. Many of my best memories are from our numerous trips to live there for a month or two. I lived on Barro Colorado Island for most trips, but in Gamboa for the longest stays. I was fortunate enough to visit most of the forts and bases before they were decommissioned, despite having no armed forces affiliation. Fort Davis was lovely!
Joe: ...that’s how you get an isthmus
Me: ...there’s a pill for that
isthmus be my lucky day
don't hurt me...that's from a very old Little rascals episode: th-cam.com/video/BL3ShfMEHwE/w-d-xo.html
@John Barber Yep, agreed. An ointment is called for when an isthmus shows up. Wouldn't want that spreading.
Hummm... you didn't say the palyndrome:
A man, a plan a canal... Panama!
Great song by fall of troy 👌🏻

@Something Mildly Homophobic Listen to 'Bob' by weird Al Yankovic.
Borrow or rob?
A palindrome that also asks how the U.S. got the Panama Canal.
NONSENSE !
"technically" or actually? Precolonial inter mesoamérican trade was extensive and we'll structured.
Iceland is quite literally called "Is land" in Danish lmao
And Island is just "ø" lol
@@DenGuleBalje indeed, because long words, are just too damn annoying.
And in Sweden it's spelled Island, and pronounced "Easelund". And if we're talking about an island, we say: ö (pronounced as the vocal sound in the English word: earl) . 😃
@Keepin it Real ...but I heard the entrance requirements to even get there in the first place were so hard, it was like to die for.
@@BPedo8IGHT Not as annoying as trying to look it up in a translation dictionary.
8:46 "...respect the sovereignty of another country or..." Ooooh, let me guess: "or the American way"!
Or the UK way, or the German way, or the Russian way, or the Chinese way, or the Japanese way. The Earth kinda works that way, past present and probably future.
@Internet Expert That was what I was saying.
@@williamgreene4834 that is what I want to happen to those countries, if no one can destroy the USA, then I do pray USA destroy themselves, I'm truly happy that now Feminazi, SJW and so many others things wreak havoc in USA
the Japanese way? then how about several nukes land on your capital cities for a change, you know things should have consequences right?
@@electronresonator8882 I live here and it's not as bad as you think. Because I live here and believe in freedom I believe you have every right to say and think whatever you want about me or the US. and about things having consequences, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and they suffered the consequences, right?
I learned the story from David McCullough's Path Between the Seas. Indeed an amazing achievement and so costly. The French effort is notable in that so many of the engineers brought their families over for the duration of the effort and in many cases the whole family was wiped out including Lesssep's son and daughter-in-law.
Excellent book. Read it before going through the canal many years ago
9:38 Me: **scoffs in non-American** “Americans will measure in anything but the metric system”.
HA! So true!
The metric system was produced by people who like to over-think things.
grandpied It’s really just a nice consistent system that’s easier to use. If one person overthought a little so I can think a little less. I’ll take it.
@@account4345 good on you. Let me buy you a pint.

Best regards
12:34 actually it was on december 31, 1999 at noon that we received the canal
Luis Ramirez ... damn those time zones...!!
😡😕😛
12:31 He said 1999
It was noon but they did own it on Jan 1st.
When I visited in 1983 the edge of the canal zone was obvious. Inside the zone, dense forest. Outside, few trees. The edge was where the trees stopped, like the forest was cut with a knife. The Panamanians had recently gotten sovereignty over the land inside the zone and everywhere we went in the zone we heard the whine of chain saws.
Looming over Panama City was a hill just inside the former zone from which a huge Panamanian flag flew. Our Panamanian relatives told us that before the handover it was an equally large US flag. Hmmmm, yes, I can see that would be a rather “in your face”. The Panamanians were very proud of the new flag.
I hope the former zone kept some of its trees? I should go back to see sometime.
@@zonian1966 Interesting! I am glad the US did not have a huge flag there. Ironically my Panamanian relatives who said that all live in the US now...
In Spanish, "aislar" (ah-ees-LAHR) means "isolate" and "isla" (EES-lah) means "island" so it's easy to see the origin of the word.
I like his version better 😂
I lived in Panama. We would go and swin in an area called "The French Cut".
Our family lived there too, back in the late 60's early 70's and we'd go to the French cut and my brother Jack would dive for oysters for my mom...LOL usually we'd either go up to one of the beautiful beaches, or to the farm that my folks bought. I didn't want to leave there but unfortunately we had no choice. Wish I could go back there.
I saw the french Cut when I was there for Jungle Warfare training with the U.S. Army in the late 1980s.
I nobody had pointed it out to me, I would have simply thought it a simple ditch since it's not very long or wide.
I also got to see the Gatun dam from the air near dusk too.
The floodlights on the downstream side made the sight even more impressive than if I would have seen it in full daylight.
It was an awesome and very interesting place to visit and parachuting into 10+ foot tall elephant grass near the Gatun lock was an adventure in itself.

I love the intro sequence. Great way to remember isthmus.
I'm glad you produced this video, at the same time I always wondered about the Isthmus of Panama role on the circulation of water on Earth if it were to disappear geologically.
Very good question !
It has locks. Circulation is neglidgeable.
@@michaelhavers1 he's talking about the whole land mass, not the canal.
@@napatora oops.
@@michaelhavers1 I am referring to the oceanic thermohaline circulation in the event of the geological disappearance of the Isthmus of Panama (not the canal itself). Have a nice day and take care.
15:00 Aaaand now i can't stop thinking about ”The price of a mile” by sabaton.
I worked for Tidewater Marine years ago and had the good fortune to go through the canal. It was mind boggling back then (70s) I can only imagine it now.

OMG that sneeze had me dying . I have to make my little cousins watch this lmao
Yeah, it took me a second to figure out that the sneeze was the origin of the word ISTHMUS, but before i could laugh he was off and running with the meat of the story.
Please insert a time marker into your comment, so the rest of us can find it without having to rewatch the entire video.
I loved the intro, I wouldn’t mind seeing more of that! May I ask how long it takes you to shoot and cut that?
Thank you for your great videos.
Why would 1,500 people thumbs down this video? You did a great job, Joe.
Was it difficult to write the start of this episode?
"Not at all, it was super easy. Barely an inconvenience."
It’s not like we all haven’t though it. LOL! 😆
Naming things is "super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Canals are "tight."
Joe! I love your videos! I just found you the last few weeks and I watch a video every day. You explain things great and I love your humor. Thank You
Your “straight man” demeanor just keeps getting better.
Joe : everyone wants to put a canal through it.
Steve Carell: thats wat she said.
would have worked better if he had said: Everyone wants to sail their ship through it.
Thank You for this wonderful expose about one of the greatest Engineering Marvels of the Modern World, and its Tragic Trail of Casualties..!!
Dude, the intro sketch was absolutely hilarious 😂
Hahahah that intro was hilarious! Yay for awesome video!
Also yay for Cankerboy! Life changing.
I learned the word isthmus in 6th grade. My English class was in this little hallway that separated the elementary school from the middle school.
We called it the isthmus.
The isthmus was lit.
Now that was very interesting! Great job! Explained everything better than the History Channel.😊👍

Love how everyone glosses over how Panama really gained it's independence, and chalks it up to US imperialism (which to be honest played a role, but there is a whole lot more to the story that nobody researches).
Is it Imperialism when you gained them independence and self rule? The price was the canal, which benefited Pananians for decades, and they own it, today.
