One of my favorite episodes of this podcast, just for the banter alone. Holland attempting to describe Dr. Valverde had me crying with laughter.
Tom "I imagine he has a pencil moustache, nazi-esque spectacles and does experiments on amphibians for fun" Holland😂
That makes him sound like an old school Bond villain haha 😂😂
Figueres is brilliant. Thanks for this epic episode.
Great episode! Greetings from Costa Rica
9:04 There are still Native Americans in Costa Rica who don't speak Spanish as their mother tongue ... not many, but they exist, mainly on the Caribbean side of the country. I myself have been in one of those villages, namely Bribrí. Only some men who work outside of the community understood Castilian, the women didn't at all.
tom seemed disappointedd by the modest casualties...
That's a pretty fascinating story!
Thanks for this amazing series!
I must admit I'm learning history of countries I did not know before.
History is neat.
Spectacular!
Wow, just wow!
Remarkable!
To be fair, I checked with my parents and they do not know anything about Valverde either. Mom's family fought for Calderon, dad's for Figueres.
Puraa Vidaa 🤙🏼🇨🇷
@TomHolland there is one Costa Rican subscriber left 👇👇👇do look after him.
Come on! Fallen arms means you go to work but dont do shit. You drop your arms. Lazy arms policy? Easy to figure out 😅
What do Trump or Putin have to do with anything???
“Marketing scam”😂😂
Is it still about soccer?
*football. But no it's not.
@@user-bo1sl7gs9x lol, thank you, darling
😢
Please make another podcast explaining the history without the over talking, laughing, and jokes. I want to learn and this is too confusing.
Absolutely disgraceful behaviour spreading hate and lies. Thumbs down for this channel.
What? To what are you referring?
Womp womp
Cry about it rahhhhhhhhhhh
