OK. Now Metatron- take a deep breath- now exhale- now click your heels together three times and say: "There's no place like Rome. There's no place like Rome......"
I had a "history" teacher who not only assumed, but INSISTED ancient Romans did said vomitting in the vomitorium. I told her the vomitorium is a large exit like at a stadium and I got in trouble for "talking back".
Reminds me of an elementary school teacher that I had who insisted that black bears and brown bears were the same thing, only a different color. Then she told me that I should never open my mouth unless I knew what I was talking about. I turned around and walked away laughing, but I have questioned the knowledge of teachers ever since.
Same here in Poland. First time in primary school when i told teacher that ZSRR did not rescue Poland from Nazis. Second time in high school when i told teacher that Neandartalus is not homo sapiens ancestor. It is always good experience to be able to stand against the leader if they are wrong:)
Hey Metatron. I am a mostly silent viewer and appreciate your knowledge about history and the work you do to give us these videos. You have said in the past that you care about your viewers and about the truth and therefore will only accept sponsors, who you deem worthy. I am concerned with you advertising for BetterHelp since they have been known to be quite shady similarly to sponsors like honey, established titles and raid shadow legends.
Claiming to be confidential but then recording and selling everything, claiming to offer medical help yet no checks or measures to check if the "professionals" have any qualifications. I'd say RaidShadowLegends is far better - they are just praying for your money with scummy schemes and fostering gambling addiction, but they are not directly targeting people that need medical attention.
I don't remember if it was BetterHelp or a similar online therapist service, but I remember that their T&C was sketch AF as they did stuff like letting unlicensed people work as licensed therapists.
It was a long time ago, but when I was training to be a firefighter we all had to lean to put our gear on and I can't remember if it was 60 seconds or 90 seconds (dementia and decades have erased my memory) we had to have everything from tank to boots on in a certain amount of time. We kept our turnout gear in good shape and positioned in certain ways to speed up the process, but we didn't ALWAYS need to do it quickly. Did knights ever have speed drills to see how fast they could suit up? Edit: I was talking to hubby about our fire fighter days and he reminded me that every time he went to bed without socks we would inevitably get a fire call. He was a farmer and worked really hard and would just fall asleep right out of the shower sometimes. One night he did that and I said someone's house is gonna burn tonite. Right about 2 am, yup. This is how superstitions get born!
Reminds me of putting on all the chem gear in the military. Don't get it done within 2 minutes, from boots to gas mask, you're "dead" and everyone gets pissed at you because less people to be able to do all the required "post chemical attack" tasking
I mean... It can take me up to an hour to get clothed as well... Though... That does include me just sitting and reading some random story for fifty minutes.
Sort of. They put armor on you, carried your sword, helped you on your horse. You also learned how to fight like a knight yourself. As you are an Apprentice yourself.
Thanks for this video, Metatron. You're really risking your sanity reading some of these articles. I still can't get over the "mediaeval" one that wasn't mediaeval! Who does the research on those? It's scary.
Sure. I think that there were some cases so festive that it took an hour to put the armor and other decorations on, like how women may take an hour to dress up in these days, but it is not common.
I've heard very mixed things about better help and some of them sound like actual internet horror stories I'm not even kidding. I'm sure there are some therapists on it that know what they're doing but I have a lot of reservations about them.
8:55 Most funny part is when he says "cheetah" because it sounds like cheater and then shows the image of a leopard😂 I don't know if this was intended or not😂
So somewhere around the five minute mark, I wondered - is it really a one hour video? Because I WOULD have sat through a one hour video.... because I'm noble.
5pm is morning for those who work 3rd shift/overnight. Not unusual to want coffee or cappuccino at that time or later. I'm sure there must of been workers of these shifts in ancient Rome as well.
Well, I'm Italian and I never had a cappuccino in the morning, as I prefer having breakfast at home. So it was either in the afternoon or at lunchtime if for some reason I couldn't have a proper meal, and always with a croissant. I never had anyone tell me it was weird or they wouldn't recommend it. It's pretty common to have breakfast items at any time of the day where I live. What is weird is ordering it at a restaurant during a meal. It's like asking for a milkshake as you eat a steak.

I'm doing some bereavement therapy with a counsellor from a hospice where my sister stayed for a few weeks until she came home to die. I was recommended and am currently making a 'memory box' for Clare. It is painted in turquoise, her favourite colour, and will have her picture on the lid. Also, bits of brocade trim around the box. I've got some things in it that illustrate parts of her life and interests like some of her hair, tied up in blue ribbon, some jewellery, a sea shell, her memoriam cards and a few other things. It helps the grieving process I've found, and you can personalise them. Perhaps you could make one for your Mam. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your videos. 😊
I love Metatron's history-focused topics but these topics also get far less views than his videos on the controversial and more emotions-inducing socio-political topics (probably because controversy attracts more views). We need to support Metatron's historical videos with more likes and engagements.
actually, this is something i remember from my History textbook at school, when i was a kid. the book said that the knights took an hour to don their armor, and it weighed more than 30 kilograms. i remember this distinctly, because it shocked me , even as early as 13 years of age, lol. so.... ummm...
I remember realizing in retrospect that most of the history textbooks at school are less about education and more about indoctrination or modern politics. Just as an example, they taught that socialism was a mix of capitalism and communism when it is pretty much just the latter with a few minor changes. My mother was a teacher in an inner-city school (read poor neighborhood) and had to fight a long time to get the school to use age appropriate books (ie ones which would challenge the students) instead of simpler books which were written by "famous" modern writers/activists.
I wonder where the 1 hour to put armor on come from. I remember seeing in a museum exhibit information about blacksmith FITTING new armor for a knight taking an hour or more. It the first fit, so first adjustment of the straps, maybe a little hammering to adjust properly and maybe an hinge or two not quite perfectly correct.
I wouldn't be surprised if it started from some guy in a position of authority to speak on the topic, ie a history professor or an archeologist, who took an hour to put on the first time without knowing what they were doing and trying it without help, and then never decided that they might have made a mistake. There was a video I remember a few years ago when Skallgrim was sent a bronze kopesh to test and the guy who made it said it was probably the best test of one ever done.....because the only people who "test" them are academics who have never learned how to use a weapon or improvised tool.
I played that game a lot, too. Tournaments in the game could be won easily just counting the number of buttons you had to press: it was something like "one button down and three left" and you always hit the center, lol. Great memories, but seeing it in colour made me remember that my screen was just green... and I was impressed by the graphics!! I'm too old for this shit... :)
I had an Amiga 500 and a copy of Defender of the Crown. I never thought I'd see an Amiga screen with that game playing again. Great that you've kept the machine up and running and great of you to include it in the video. I really like your work. Keep it up.
What's the squire doing, doing a painting of me? Funny thing is as an artist i could do your portrait and helpnyou get into the armour in an hour and still have time to chill out before the joust lol
I once ordered a cappuccino after dinner in an Italian restaurant in Austria. She asked me if I was sure, and then proceeded to give me an espresso. I could laugh about it, but I secretly really wanted a cappuccino…

I had an image of a jousting knight in a joust riding into a pit stop with his band of squires to swarm him and his mount fixing his armour and giving him a drink and a new lance all in under 10 seconds then riding out to resume the contest. The original Formula One? 😅
DEFENDER OF THE CROWN!!! What a nostalgia trip! I wore that game out back in the day. My favorite character was Wolfric the Wild, because you could just win all of the territories in tournaments. Thanks for bringing up those memories.
The idea of a knight being "bolted" to his horse is comical.Was his horse metal? I suppose the writer meant to imply "secured" in the saddle. How this was "cheating" is anyone's guess. In the case of the urine myth; I have read that cow's urine was used to bleach linen and woolen textiles. How this turned into teeth-bleaching in the minds of modern internet "scholars" remains a mystery.
@@DoloresLehmann as a profesional seagull drawer for over 20 years that is indeed a good description for those golden seagulls, remember fellas real seagulls are lines, those weird 3d creatures with organs are actually spy birds and not real seagulls
The next thing Metatron's going to tell us is that Italian queen Maria Antoinetta did not say, "Let them barf cake." I mean this a little tongue-in-cheek (or cake-in-cheek, as it were).
Dear Metatron, it is so fun to see your elevated rants!... I really laughed when I pictured you eating your Peruvian (terra incognita) tuberculum Gaul style broiled while waiting for the tilt! :)
i see tears in his eyes. why he reacts to those none important videos anyway...i think he needs some time apart from youtube and give him some time to grief for his passed away loved ones... i prefer a healthy Metatron with less content over a Metatron who just make content for the sake of content...(you see English is not my first language) To Metatron: Care for yourself and only for yourself. we understand...
I have been avoiding drama on TH-cam and stopped using fb and Instagram over the last years. Personal peace is amazing, and the majority of people are complete 1d1ots. Yes he needs a break or change his way of working somehow. It breaks you at some point
The Metatron is the most noble of all Noble Ones!!!! He claps historical and ignorant cheeks on the daily just for the benefit of all mankind!!!! This is your king!!!! This is your king!!!!!
Back in the 80s, when I lived in West Germany, no Italian cafe we ever stopped at refused to make a cappuccino for my mom. They never even seemed to hesitate. And yes, the staff were usually Italians who lived in and spoke German.
Ya know, I kinda wonder how many "look at this outlandish thing these people do/did" claims are just things that have been made up to make those people look bad and how many are something that did happen but only involved a very limited group of people or one or just a few individuals
Once I went to a ren fair and they didn't send anybody to the armory to help one of the guys suit up for the joust, so I helped him. With ZERO previous experience, just him telling me what to do, it took five minutes tops to get him suited up.
The first point about the armour cracked me up. Reminded of when RuPaul was asked how long it took to get into the full drag get up. He replied, "about three hours, but we could do it in 30 minutes." In essence, it takes as long as you want it to take.
I helped a knight get into his armor and it took about 20 minutes and I'd never helped anyone with armor and the suit was brand new so he didn't even know how it worked. 10 of the twenty minutes was trying to fix a spot it was pinching Also in some parts of the Western US we drink iced Americano. Very affordable and calorie conscious , as many shots of espresso as you like in a cup full of ice. We've been making ice since 1853 apparently so it's as American as apple pie
The widespread belief that vomiting to eat more is, at least in part, based on the incorrect belief that a vomitorium.was a special room just for literally vomiting. It actually refers to (I know I don't need to tell Metatron this) a passage in a stadium that allows crowds to exit quickly. The stadium is 'vomiting' out people, if you will.
This is what I’ve been saying in comments for a while on this channel. He’s wasting his time with silly internet beef. I’d much rather see videos about ancient text translations and stuff.
It is easy content that is in good fun for the most part; and compared with those translation/historical deep dives super cheap to produce. With how much that has been going in his life taking it a bit easy is more than understandable.
I see it less as "internet beef" and more as correcting misinformation in a humorous way. (It makes ME laugh, anyway.) I love the deep dives and serious topics but i appreciate the lighter side of metatron, too.
Only thing i can recall about putting on or taking off armor taking anywhere remotely that kind of time, is in writings about when an armorer is fitting someone from zero, ie having to find suitable pieces for each part. And getting armor off when it's become severely dented, which could take unpleasantly much time if you got unlucky. I don't think i've ever heard of anyone testing it ever breaking 10 minutes, and the only one that came close was with one of those excessively complex o-yoroi variants that has multiple layers, each with what feels like a million straps. (They're the variant that which, once put on, is amazingly comfortable to wear, exactly because it has so many straps that allows absolute customisation of how it fits the wearer.) And these are modern people who mostly are not very skilled or experienced at doing this.
I just took a Greek class with a girl who kept telling this same story about her time in Italy where they refused to make her a mocha after noon lol This made me feel so validated in feeling like she was exaggerating A LOT!!
I mean if you walk into an Italian place and try to order like its a Starbucks they will probably look at you horrified and ask you to leave. Just order coffee or espresso. Thats it. Cant go wrong with those.
@@TheSuperappelflap I mean she definitely seemed like the type to do that. And not understand why lol I think she said something about not knowing much Italian when she went, which I know is a problem if you go to France and speak bad French, I assume it would be similar in Italy. She said as long as you try in Greece their happy. I've only been to France so I don't know how everywhere else is other than anecdotes :(

If a knight was gonna take an hour to put on armour, they probably would certainly be forced to forfeit.
It would take me at least an hour to tie my knight sneakers with all that bulky metal on my mid section.
"Dear Cara" I see what you did there Raf 😏
“I love the Ice Age” that just cracked me up!!! 😂😂😂
You're right, I am near noble.
DEFENDER OF THE CROWN!!!
What a nostalgia trip! I wore that game out back in the day. My favorite character was Wolfric the Wild, because you could just win all of the territories in tournaments. Thanks for bringing up those memories.
The idea of a knight being "bolted" to his horse is comical.Was his horse metal? I suppose the writer meant to imply "secured" in the saddle. How this was "cheating" is anyone's guess. In the case of the urine myth; I have read that cow's urine was used to bleach linen and woolen textiles. How this turned into teeth-bleaching in the minds of modern internet "scholars" remains a mystery.
Prior to advances in metallurgy allowing bolts, they would rivet the knight onto the horse.
I actually laughed about 12 times... I surely needed it.
Bless you, Brother Raph {Raf?} and for the more personal issues- you are being prayed for...
I'm disappointed we didn't have a transition to an actual cafe. XD
I have to admit I love the "roasting" vids Metatron if only for the fact that you speak vicariously for many of us.😁
Hey Metatron, you should do a Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 trailer review!!
I'm in a hospital due to a minor surgery, and watching your video is one of the few things witch cheers me up, so ty from the bottom of my heart!
2:16 Sluggish time on that pit stop chief. That could've cost us the race.
That titanic drawing moment killed me 😂 I was not ready 😂
please everyone ignore the symbol on the soda cup at 4:34, they are NOT sponsoring pretend its an M for Medieval :D
We use to call it the restaurant "To The Golden Seagull".
@@DoloresLehmann as a profesional seagull drawer for over 20 years that is indeed a good description for those golden seagulls, remember fellas real seagulls are lines, those weird 3d creatures with organs are actually spy birds and not real seagulls
The vomiting bit is something we even learned about in history class as if it was a common thing.
The shits and giggles in this was epic. I needed a good laugh, thanks ;)
The next thing Metatron's going to tell us is that Italian queen Maria Antoinetta did not say, "Let them barf cake."
I mean this a little tongue-in-cheek (or cake-in-cheek, as it were).
We need more of this, the people demand it with their comments :^)
:^)
Dear Metatron, it is so fun to see your elevated rants!... I really laughed when I pictured you eating your Peruvian (terra incognita) tuberculum Gaul style broiled while waiting for the tilt! :)
Guys... i think he needs to stop...
i see tears in his eyes. why he reacts to those none important videos anyway...i think he needs some time apart from youtube and give him some time to grief for his passed away loved ones... i prefer a healthy Metatron with less content over a Metatron who just make content for the sake of content...(you see English is not my first language) To Metatron: Care for yourself and only for yourself. we understand...
No
Oh how could you tell?
I have been avoiding drama on TH-cam and stopped using fb and Instagram over the last years. Personal peace is amazing, and the majority of people are complete 1d1ots.
Yes he needs a break or change his way of working somehow. It breaks you at some point
Hmmm....so, I take it that it's not true that Legionaries sometimes took an hour to put on their Lorica Segmentata? **Ducking real fast** LOL
The Metatron is the most noble of all Noble Ones!!!! He claps historical and ignorant cheeks on the daily just for the benefit of all mankind!!!! This is your king!!!! This is your king!!!!!
My word. You went for the ‘cheek-clapping’ route. 💀
Back in the 80s, when I lived in West Germany, no Italian cafe we ever stopped at refused to make a cappuccino for my mom. They never even seemed to hesitate. And yes, the staff were usually Italians who lived in and spoke German.
Ya know, I kinda wonder how many "look at this outlandish thing these people do/did" claims are just things that have been made up to make those people look bad and how many are something that did happen but only involved a very limited group of people or one or just a few individuals
"they wear marmelade on Wodensday, silly buggers!"
Burger King was a historical ruler during the 100 years war
Pit Crew. That's what the people in the Pit Stop are called.
Once I went to a ren fair and they didn't send anybody to the armory to help one of the guys suit up for the joust, so I helped him. With ZERO previous experience, just him telling me what to do, it took five minutes tops to get him suited up.
Here you go, a like and a comment
"It's a myth that is based" - Metatron 2024
The first point about the armour cracked me up. Reminded of when RuPaul was asked how long it took to get into the full drag get up. He replied, "about three hours, but we could do it in 30 minutes." In essence, it takes as long as you want it to take.
👌
I appreciated the idea of gaming in the middle of it. Sometimes it's nice to not rush 😊
This is me hanging up my shirts haha.
So a Knight's Squires were actually his pit crew? Ok 😊 .I learn so much here.
You shouldn't eat McDonalds Metatron.
Lol why
Don't eat McDonald's.
Challenge them to a duel instead
I helped a knight get into his armor and it took about 20 minutes and I'd never helped anyone with armor and the suit was brand new so he didn't even know how it worked. 10 of the twenty minutes was trying to fix a spot it was pinching
Also in some parts of the Western US we drink iced Americano. Very affordable and calorie conscious , as many shots of espresso as you like in a cup full of ice. We've been making ice since 1853 apparently so it's as American as apple pie
Metatron is our therapy…
The widespread belief that vomiting to eat more is, at least in part, based on the incorrect belief that a vomitorium.was a special room just for literally vomiting. It actually refers to (I know I don't need to tell Metatron this) a passage in a stadium that allows crowds to exit quickly. The stadium is 'vomiting' out people, if you will.
Defender of the Crown. Classic.
One of the first ever Amiga 500 games I played. The other early ones being Dungeon Master and SuperStar Ice Hockey.
I’m sorry for your pain but this series is my favorite. Thank god for bad info, Italians, tempers, and talking with your hands.
This is what I’ve been saying in comments for a while on this channel. He’s wasting his time with silly internet beef. I’d much rather see videos about ancient text translations and stuff.
Hopefully he'll get back to that soon.
It is easy content that is in good fun for the most part; and compared with those translation/historical deep dives super cheap to produce. With how much that has been going in his life taking it a bit easy is more than understandable.
Why no both?
I see it less as "internet beef" and more as correcting misinformation in a humorous way. (It makes ME laugh, anyway.) I love the deep dives and serious topics but i appreciate the lighter side of metatron, too.
I’m glad to see you making a video in the way my head reacts when people tell me history facts similar if not the same to what’s in these articles
Please Metatron, I beg you reconsider using this sponsor. Just look up their numerous scandals. It's not worth your integrity.
He said in a previous video that he only promotes sponsors who he's researched and trusts. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Only thing i can recall about putting on or taking off armor taking anywhere remotely that kind of time, is in writings about when an armorer is fitting someone from zero, ie having to find suitable pieces for each part. And getting armor off when it's become severely dented, which could take unpleasantly much time if you got unlucky.
I don't think i've ever heard of anyone testing it ever breaking 10 minutes, and the only one that came close was with one of those excessively complex o-yoroi variants that has multiple layers, each with what feels like a million straps. (They're the variant that which, once put on, is amazingly comfortable to wear, exactly because it has so many straps that allows absolute customisation of how it fits the wearer.)
And these are modern people who mostly are not very skilled or experienced at doing this.
I just took a Greek class with a girl who kept telling this same story about her time in Italy where they refused to make her a mocha after noon lol This made me feel so validated in feeling like she was exaggerating A LOT!!
I mean if you walk into an Italian place and try to order like its a Starbucks they will probably look at you horrified and ask you to leave. Just order coffee or espresso. Thats it. Cant go wrong with those.
@@TheSuperappelflap I mean she definitely seemed like the type to do that. And not understand why lol I think she said something about not knowing much Italian when she went, which I know is a problem if you go to France and speak bad French, I assume it would be similar in Italy. She said as long as you try in Greece their happy. I've only been to France so I don't know how everywhere else is other than anecdotes :(
@@penguinabroad oh my french is pretty decent but they will still hate you just for not being French
Defender of the crown??!!! Boy that brings back memories...
Haha jokes on you, I’m in therapy
Jokes on you I self medicate lol
Absolutely hilarious.....thanks for the laugh!
FOR KING AND COUNTRY 😂
I only stopped watching your channel for three weeks and for some reason everything fell apart and weird things happened.
What happened
Still I love your videos and can you make a video about your ibm computer or retro video game collection.😊😊😊😊
You want him to do a new series? The Angry Italian Gamer (AIG)? Italian throwback to classic AVGN?
@@Seriously_Unserious hahaha So not as angry like the angry video game Nerd, but yeah.
His mother passed away... Maybe that's the difference?
@@diesegeties8918 No, not angry like a Nerd, but like an Italian, and not any Italian, but a Sicilian. Maybe his brand would be Angry Video Game Mafia.
@@Seriously_Unserious ok
