Reminds me of the 80s slang (am I dating myself?). It hasn't changed much...a new word here and there but pretty much the same. Entertaining. I like this gentlemen...please have him on more.

I think they misspelled the name.
It's Charlemagne or Charles the Great, numbered Charles I, was King of the Franks from 768, King of the Lombards from 774, and Holy Roman Emperor from 800.
Right ?
