Sean saying “He’s the guy that said let them eat cake” referring to Winston Churchill, followed by him looking it up and finding out it was actually Marie Antoinette, absolutely sent me😂
she never said that, she was framed by the establishment around her as the fall guy for their fuck awful policies & then she was forever remembered as a heartless airhead
Famously so. On the front lines, his fellow soldiers had run out of bullets. All they had were the cakes they rationed for their journey. When the men asked what they hit their enemies with, Churchill cried “LET THEM EAT CAKE!” and so they pelted their enemies with beautifully decorated confectioneries for weeks. Eventually the enemies got so annoyed they stormed away, awarding them victory.
Sean was not thinking of the context of ANYTHING in the whole podcast, if he stopped for a moment to think of words or context he would have understood 3000% more of what he spoke about
American Citizenship Test: “What is the 11th amendment and how does that apply when in conjunction to the 4th amendment?” Irish Citizenship Test: “You cool?”
32:53 - the idea is that people will never be forced to feed and house soldiers, and it's because during the revolution they were forced to feed and house british soldiers, and they really didn't like that so they made sure they'd never have to do that for themselves. kinda outdated but welcome to the law. edit: being a history buff and listening to non-history people can cause serious internal pain, be cautious.
I’m glad this is an ADHD friendly podcast because my brain functions just like theirs, when they go through so many different topics so quickly is when my brain retains the most info
He was joking but that’s a real thing here in the US, you can be arrested for feeding homeless people sadly (some cities have ordinances that make it an arrestable offense). So you could in fact get away with feeding homeless people
In Texas, there’s a group called Food Not Bombs that distributes food to ppl that need it and their volunteers are often armed to deter a police response, they also receive fines upon fines for giving food to more than 5 people on public property. I love America ❤🇺🇸 ❤
as someone who just recently lost their grandmother, i cannot express how thankful i am that my siblings had the time to sit down with her and make videos with her and just ask her about her life. you will cherish those videos forever, ethan
"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be,. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." - Marie Antoinette in Oppenheimer, 1944
It kills me to imagine that while the Nazis were bombing the Brit’s during the blitz that Churchill would on the national broadcast system and go “and let them eat cake” good god you boys this episode was wild
As a jehovahs witness growing up in elementary, when the pledge of allegiance was said I had to sit and stay silent, because it was a breach of church and state to say under god. And my teachers thought that was the biggest offense and I didn't get to play at recess. Until I memorized the words and said it in 1st grade just to be able to play with my friends. Crazy how much religion controls everyone
The under god part wasn't even added to the pledge until 1954 and mostly for political reasons. Yet people will froth at the mouth and swear it's what our forefathers wanted.
Make no mistake - the people who froth at the mouth insisting that "under God" stay in the pledge aren't crusading on behalf of the founding fathers. They're just power-hungry control freak Christian fundamentalists who hate the idea of anyone anywhere not worshipping their deity 😑
I know there were literally 365 episodes of Unus Annus, so it's a lot to keep track of in the ADHD brain. (Which I relate to, HARD.) But it blows my mind how many things Ethan did on Unus Annus that he talks about on Brain Leak like he's never done it before. (For those who don't recall or know, Mark took Ethan through the US Citizenship practice test in one episode. I believe he got like a 60% or 70% or so?)
Yeah I think it's just really easy too forget those things. Especially since it's been a few years ago now. I didn't really remember to be honest, but reading your comment now, it does sound really familiar.
56:49 Work from home can be done in a way that separates work from home. If you set up an office where you exclusively work in and don’t play in, you can create that mental seperation between work and home. But the issue is not using the space for things other than work.
The "let them eat cake" bit was infinitely funny as it is two modern day "royals" not understanding that Marie Antoinette was so oblivious to the ordinary man that she didn't understand why they didn't eat cake when they ran out of bread.
Talking about nuclear stuff, Kyle Hill has an ongoing series (Half-life History) on his channel that covers the history of nuclear energy, including Chernobyl, the bombs used on Japan, and the Demon Core. He also visited Chernobyl shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine, and his documentary series from that is pretty great.
Hearing Sean saying the tested bombs killed a lot of animals reminded me that’s how the concept of Godzilla was born. It’s a monster resulting from radiation exposure. I’m actually amazed nothing like that has happened or even cases of radiation fish being eaten and then mutating the consumers. Edited just to add that my weird food combo is Parmesan and semi sweet chocolate. I got the craving while pregnant, it’s been 4 years since and I still love it.
I actually work at Music & Arts (now owned by Guitar Center), as an instructor. Y'all should go out there and they'll be more than happy to let you fiddle with the instruments!
This was the best Brain leak episode so far, perfect balance of facts, history, jokes and laughter. TH-cam has been the place i have found my entertainment mostly the past 10 years.. im few years younger than Sean and its been great growing with you and getting insight of what your brains are leaking.. so thank u, thank you. Im always looking forward whats the next thing you guys do! Much love and respect
Similarly to Ethan's "Wish I could say more to Grandma" when my grandmother was passing, everyone said she would be ok, so when I had to leave, I said "See you later" instead of "I love you" and it still hurts.
the last time i saw my nan before she died i had chicken pox and my parents refused to let me hug her goodbye one last time, i wasnt allowed to touch her or even go near her, i understand how bad it hurts and she knows you wouldve said more, she loves you. if you wanna talk about anything you can talk to me, even though im just a stranger on the internet im here for you.
I like that as a requirement. We have too many people in this country who are allowed to vote with like no more knowledge of the constitution than the first and second amendments.
Ethan and Sean being so supportive of what each other wanted to change about the past and then immediately moving into McDonald's is the epitome of this channel
Y'know I did a lot of history in high school and beginning of college, so I'm not representative of the average person, but man people don't seem to know history at all. Lol. Doesn't matter though if its sean and ethan. They're all good.
As a person who’s worked from home for years, I can say with conviction I don’t wanna go back to an office. The big takeaway here tho is Seán thinking Winston Churchill said “let them eat cake”, bless him. I was laughing way too hard… ❤😂
By far the best episode imo. Educational, funny and no bad advice. Haven’t really cared for that final segment. Love the question segment in this episode though!
The reason the constitution and bill of rights has such weird and specific situations is because that’s what the British were doing to them at that time. They were forcing citizens to house soldiers and they were basically acting as watch dogs and/or doing inappropriate/rude stuff while housed.
It was nice having a different segment on this one. It felt very refreshing. Perhaps having multiple segements for different episodes could be fun. Things like confessions or stuff in that sorta area. either way, love the podcast, stay leaky
It's especially horrifying to look up all the "broken arrow" incidents that have happened with nukes. I'm from North Carolina and it's kind of a running joke about how the US accidentally almost nuked us...twice lol. I think there may still be a bomb missing off the south east coast of the US.
First Google result, provided by Wikipedia : “Let them eat cake” - Although the phrase is conventionally attributed to Marie Antoinette, it can actually be traced back to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions in 1765, 24 years prior to the French Revolution, and when Antoinette was 9 years old and had never been to France.
not me getting extremely excited hearing Sean talk about wanting to do MY job, sound design has always been my passion and, while it's not necessarily a 9-to-5, it's so fulfilling. I love hearing people share those passions!!
I actually had an idea to do something similar with my grandma. Except it was to record her reading a book I loved her to read to me when I was little. So I can play it for my kids if I have them someday. But I do like the idea of just asking about her life. Especially with the difference in technology and the things they did before the internet and TV. I don't like to think about the fact that she'll be gone someday but it would be nice to have something to see and hear her once she's gone. Hopefully she'll still be around a while. She'll just be 70 in December and most of her family lived to 90s
When I was in school most teachers didn't care if I or others didn't say the pledge of allegiance. Some did, I remember I was scolded because I was walking in the hallway while someone said it over the announcements and I didn't stop to listen or say it. Then there was the Collin Kaepernick controversy, where a tonne of minority students like myself stopped, and with 2020 events there were even fewer patriotic types to say and stand for it, which is really saying something since I lived in a Republican state at the time. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the current political climate has kept people from saying it. I wouldn't be surprised if some places just did away with it entirely at any point.
1:08:14 I thought he was gonna say "You can't keep just saying Unus Annus videos and expect us to do it" because he literally just mentioned something they did there
I always wondered how you practiced for a citizenship test. You'd probably have to learn stuff most natural born citizens don't even have to think about.
My Dad just took his citizenship test, and iirc they pretty much have to give you the test questions as the practice test so you can learn the answers. My family would frequently just sit in the living room and quiz him/each other. And yeah, I can confirm that I probably did way better on that test than most other born-Americans would. It's a lot of stuff about the constitution and I think it's painfully obvious that most of us do NOT know nearly enough about the Constitution when it literally is "the Supreme Law of the Land" and governs our entire country.
The 'let them eat cake' quote represents the indifference or the lack of awareness the nobility had about the peasants' situation rather than be like 'oh, then let them have what we eat!', specially because brioche (the cake referred to in the original French) is a cake whose main ingredient is freaking bread jdjdjjdjd
I’m glad I got to start this episode within the hour of it getting posted. It’s the first time I have for their podcast!!! But… it released at 2 am my time😅😅😅
When I was in school we would refuse to stand or say “under god” during the pledge, not really to make a statement more just because we couldn’t be bothered, but certain teachers would always try and get us in trouble for it, which in hindsight is wild.
Context for let them eat cake: French peasants were starving, begging the nobles for food. She basically said (paraphrased) "if they don't have bread, then let them eat cake". Source: Idk bro, I just recoiled when Sean said it was Churchill and my brain just spat out her, and why she said it. Probably some history class or something. Edit: unpaused the video again and Ethan basically says it too. I really should wait before commenting.
i'm staying up late for my summer Government and Citizenship class homework, and i check my youtube feed, and, Sean? this is too relatable. i took that test yesterday.
Thank you leaky bois for this podcast. I deal with a lot of heavy subject matter at my job and I also have to concentrate a ton but it's so nice to listen to goofy tangents to unwind. Helps me a ton. Stay leaky
My job became work from home since a flood in our office. I'm 7mths in, and I don't wanna return - I love WFH. TH-cam, however, did get tiring by being in the same room all day, every day, gaming leisurely and for videos just blended, so I started doing less and less of recording.
"let them eat cake" wasn't a merciful phrase where French royalty was sharing resources, it was an alleged complete dismissal of the plight of those in need by just suggesting they simply purchase something different to eat (that they obviously didn't have money for).
I haven't said the pledge of allegiance since I graduated high-school 4 years ago and hearing it again sent me back SO hard in a bad way like jumpscare vibes fr
The only part Oppenheimer's family was upset about was the fruit and the teacher. They said there was nothing to prove that actually happened even though it was in the biography the movie was based on.
I mean... the answer to "What is the supreme law of the land" is "the Constitution" in Ireland too, Seán. There are 38 amendments. You probably voted on some of them.
33:15 the 3rd amendment is rather strange until you look at early US history. Before independence, English soldiers could live in a citizen’s house without consent of the owner, and without paying for rent or food they took. This is why the 3rd amendment is rather important to the early American government, but is more common sense now.
"Let them eat cake" was said by Marie Antoinette. She was told that the population can't eat bread (too expensive) and that is what she is rumoured to have responded with "Let them eat cake". She wasn't aware of her population's condition nor the economy. "We will fight in the shade" was a Leonidas quote from 300 but it's originally said by Leonidas (historical character movie was based on) as ""Won't it be nice, then, if we shall have shade in which to fight them?" " Churchill said "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
In 7th grade a classmate got screamed at by our math teacher for not standing for the pledge. You would have thought he spat on the face of her son who was in the military. 🙄 People can be real nuts when it comes to a piece of cloth
The hiroshima bombing actually did cause radioactive fallout. That radiation is still there to this day, and the entire district is approximately around (if I remember correctly) 4x more radioactive than Chernobyl. And the reason for that is simple, the radiation will fall down over the course of what I believe is 12 - 48 hours. And once it meets the ground, you need to isolate the radioactive material as fast as possible otherwise it could spread very and I mean VERY quickly. So, even if you did bomb it in the air over land... Due to gravity, the radiation would still meet and interact with the ground at some point.
I lost my passport on the way into Ireland and the customs agent quite literally said “you look trustworthy” and let me in 😂
I can’t😂
Meanwhile in America…
Straight forward... Seems pretty believable 😂
is this real cause if so, dont do this coming over to usa, they wont let your ass in
I don't even look Irish, so that would NOT happen.
And I'm also an Irish citizen, for context
how tf has nobody mentioned how impressive Sean's impression of a didgeridoo was
I know bro has beatboxer potential with that stanky bass tone

Sean saying “He’s the guy that said let them eat cake” referring to Winston Churchill, followed by him looking it up and finding out it was actually Marie Antoinette, absolutely sent me😂
like for real lol how did he mix that up as a European hahah
What's even better is that Marie never actually said that lol; she wasn't aware of her citizens enough to say it lol
@@cottoncandy4494 isn’t there a contemporary source from that time that says she said that? like I’m pretty sure that comes from historical writings
@@wolfiemusemaybe, I learned that she most likely didn't say that but maybe my teacher was wrong lol
she never said that, she was framed by the establishment around her as the fall guy for their fuck awful policies & then she was forever remembered as a heartless airhead
The image of Winston Churchill telling the people of britain "Let them eat cake" during the blitz is hilarious
Jack can be an honorary US citizen so long as Ethan can be an honorary national bird
Nah. Just don't. US can sh*t themselves.
Ethan can be an honorary national bird if Sean can be an honorary national meal
NO WAY SEÀN THOUGHT CHURCHILL SAID “LET THEM EAT CAKE”
Famously so. On the front lines, his fellow soldiers had run out of bullets. All they had were the cakes they rationed for their journey. When the men asked what they hit their enemies with, Churchill cried “LET THEM EAT CAKE!” and so they pelted their enemies with beautifully decorated confectioneries for weeks. Eventually the enemies got so annoyed they stormed away, awarding them victory.
I mean, "We shall fight in the shade" was... kinda close.

edit: being a history buff and listening to non-history people can cause serious internal pain, be cautious.
Your edit strikes me almost as much as listening to people who aren't way too into history XD
Should have scrolled farther down. I just made this comment I had a little bit of flail in response to the statement
Same here. I'm not into history that much but it pains me to see that even Americans don't know our own history without having to Google everything
I was looking to see if anyone else said this because like knowing the answer is so painful I get why people scream at their t.v for sports now

When I was in school we would refuse to stand or say “under god” during the pledge, not really to make a statement more just because we couldn’t be bothered, but certain teachers would always try and get us in trouble for it, which in hindsight is wild.
Context for let them eat cake: French peasants were starving, begging the nobles for food. She basically said (paraphrased) "if they don't have bread, then let them eat cake". Source: Idk bro, I just recoiled when Sean said it was Churchill and my brain just spat out her, and why she said it. Probably some history class or something.
Edit: unpaused the video again and Ethan basically says it too. I really should wait before commenting.
i'm staying up late for my summer Government and Citizenship class homework, and i check my youtube feed, and, Sean? this is too relatable. i took that test yesterday.
Thank you leaky bois for this podcast. I deal with a lot of heavy subject matter at my job and I also have to concentrate a ton but it's so nice to listen to goofy tangents to unwind. Helps me a ton. Stay leaky
Jack not knowing anything about Irish history is painful
and history in general 😂
@@apexinstinct also true but I specified Irish history because, well, I'm Irish believe it or not lol
perfect timing bc i cannot sleep rn :')
It’s time for my dose of brain leak
My job became work from home since a flood in our office. I'm 7mths in, and I don't wanna return - I love WFH. TH-cam, however, did get tiring by being in the same room all day, every day, gaming leisurely and for videos just blended, so I started doing less and less of recording.
"let them eat cake" wasn't a merciful phrase where French royalty was sharing resources, it was an alleged complete dismissal of the plight of those in need by just suggesting they simply purchase something different to eat (that they obviously didn't have money for).
45:13 this is one of the most relatable exchanges they've ever had 😂
I haven't said the pledge of allegiance since I graduated high-school 4 years ago and hearing it again sent me back SO hard in a bad way like jumpscare vibes fr
The only part Oppenheimer's family was upset about was the fruit and the teacher. They said there was nothing to prove that actually happened even though it was in the biography the movie was based on.
I'd call a "mouth-shart" a "vurp", a "vomit-burp". It's a rare occasion it fully leaves, but I do get some bile past my uvula now and then.
I mean... the answer to "What is the supreme law of the land" is "the Constitution" in Ireland too, Seán. There are 38 amendments. You probably voted on some of them.
Dude let them eat cake?? How did jack comfuse churchhill with Marie Antoinette??? 😂🤣
That might be worse than his lack of knowledge about Irish history
She never said it anyway.
THE FACT THAT ETHAN EATS MUSTARD AND MACARONI MADE ME SO HAPPY. I thought I was the only one
Sean should Google the man named Sean McLoughlin who fought for Ireland's independence
Watcher needs to have Sean on for an Irish themed episode of Puppet History
F U C K Y E S
God I want!!!! *Foams at the mouth*
YES! Seeing him and the professor in the same room would make my day ;w;
Not me spitting out my mashed potatoes as I'm caught off guard when Sean said "Ooh, do I enjoy a weird food combo? Peanutbutter on feet?" 😂😂
33:15 the 3rd amendment is rather strange until you look at early US history. Before independence, English soldiers could live in a citizen’s house without consent of the owner, and without paying for rent or food they took. This is why the 3rd amendment is rather important to the early American government, but is more common sense now.
"Let them eat cake" was said by Marie Antoinette. She was told that the population can't eat bread (too expensive) and that is what she is rumoured to have responded with "Let them eat cake". She wasn't aware of her population's condition nor the economy.
"We will fight in the shade" was a Leonidas quote from 300 but it's originally said by Leonidas (historical character movie was based on) as ""Won't it be nice, then, if we shall have shade in which to fight them?" "
Churchill said "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
She didnt say that
Watching people struggle with history I just learned is so funny for no reason 💀
Yayyy Brain Leak for my birthday!!! Always happy to hear you two talk about random shit for an hour lol
happy birthday!! hope you have a very leaky day :)
knowing ethan has a metal one direction shirt is my anti-depressant
In 7th grade a classmate got screamed at by our math teacher for not standing for the pledge. You would have thought he spat on the face of her son who was in the military. 🙄 People can be real nuts when it comes to a piece of cloth
The hiroshima bombing actually did cause radioactive fallout. That radiation is still there to this day, and the entire district is approximately around (if I remember correctly) 4x more radioactive than Chernobyl.
And the reason for that is simple, the radiation will fall down over the course of what I believe is 12 - 48 hours. And once it meets the ground, you need to isolate the radioactive material as fast as possible otherwise it could spread very and I mean VERY quickly.
So, even if you did bomb it in the air over land... Due to gravity, the radiation would still meet and interact with the ground at some point.
Brain and Leak make my week so much better. They add to my will to live💙
