I now want to see the series, "Sleeping History, " where it's one shot of Max on a pile of straw saying, "It's bad..."

[jaredwright]

You actually cooked in a castle where a king lived, and where the Kings of Scots were declared. That's so freaking cool 🤯🧐

[Lauren.E.O]

Bringing Slowking on tour with you was an excellent touch 😂 It might not be your actual kitchen, but any kitchen with a Pokémon watching you cook is a Tasting History kitchen.

[Colorcrayons]

Your ability to add hard tack into a video, through either a smooth segue or gratuitous brute force, is just impressive.

[Lauren.E.O]

Cooking in Scotland, at a historically relevant site, is pretty cool!

[kirstenpaff]

I think my favorite anecdote about Tolkien is that he thought Shakespeare's solution to the forest coming to Macbeth prophecy was so lame that he created ents to represent the forest actually coming for revenge. He had similar thoughts on the "no man of woman born" prophecy and came to the very obvious conclusion that a woman could do the job. This is why Eowyn kills the Witchking of Angmar.

[hausofjulian]

That hard tack clip is ALWAYS hilarious 😂😂😂

[Lammington]

Can we please take a moment to enjoy the excitement and joy with which Bruce speaks? That is a man who truly has job satisfaction.

[marymugge]

I love how many experts you bring into this episode. That and because you're in Scotland, their accents are hypnotic.

[Blackjack]

I love that you make the efford to learn the right pronunciation for the dishes you make and the things you describe. It seems like a small detail but it makes the show so much better!

[timothybell]

There's so much of the Macbeth story hidden within the pages of Lord of the Rings - largely because the Professor was deeply unsatisfied with Shakespeare's vision of it - that coming back to the underlying history is like putting on a warm blanket.

[jorenbosmans]

Love the fact that you are at a point where you are allowed to film at a historical site. Keep going Max

[MrChristianDT]

Wow. The 90s cartoon Gargoyles actually did a weirdly good job at combining the Shakesphere play, Macbeth's real history & the shows own mythology pretty well.

[janetmackinnon]

Let me thank you for your care of Scots' sensibilities! You pronounce names correctly (without the sly giggle we get from many others), you have collaborated with Bruce Fummy, you have correctly referred to 'King of Scots' (not 'of Scotland') and no background of bagpipes! and you have gone some way to counter the Tudor propaganda of Shakespear. Pretty good in one vlog! In Glaswegian congratulation 'Ya dancer, yi!)

[scipio]

Wow, I was going to recommend Bruce's channel to you and half way through the video you said "hold my Scotch." Bruce is a masterful storyteller and it was jaw dropping to see you both in same frame... huzzah.

[kitcutting]

Scotland is getting a lot of love on this channel, and I am all for it

[FretboardToAsh]

Damn, Bruce is made for narration and presenting. Voice and acting are exactly what you'd expect from a documentary.

[dannyfriar]

The amount of effort put into this episode is awesome and appreciated (especially considering it was filmed during your vacation).

[niall_sanderson]

It's interesting that you mentioned Bannock at the 3:00 mark, since Bannock also happens to be an almost universal dish among the native peoples of Canada. Now the reason for that is pretty depressing; after native peoples all over were forced into the reservation system, they were generally unable to subsist in the way they used to (a VERY deliberate result of the system), and since the ration packages were mostly flour plus some fat or oil of some kind, Bannock was one of the few things the people forced into the reserve system could actually make.

Congratulations on your ads delivery. It is extremely unlikely I will ever buy anything from them (South America, lol), but yours are the only ads I don't skip on; your delivery is as informative and enticing as it is entertaining. 😁
