Tell the facts not what ifs
I love the History Guy, but these counterfactuals are…not good. The aren’t history.
Been listening to THG for the better part of 5 years it feels like, YouTube or Audible. Thanks to him I get to relentlessly bombard my willing or not friends to thousands of random facts on a daily basis 👍😂
