It takes three to make a thing go right It takes espirit to make it outta sight En garde!
I wanna allez now I am prêt and I came to get down I am internationally known And I am known to riposte for the throne Because I get stoopid, I mean rivalacious Stay away from me if you’re contagious Cause I’m the winner, no, I’m not a loser To be musketeer is what I choose-a Ladies love me, girls adore me I mean even the ones who never saw me Like the way that I touche them in bed While my rivals passe insteadIn this installment of warriors, we look at the French Musketeers. Are you flashy enough to carry an épée?

Wow. That is . . . well, that's just terrible. Now I have to download the podcast to see if the rest of the episode is as bad.

I laughed SO HARD listening to your terrible French accents. Next time you need a French lesson hit me up yo. It'll be Quebecois rather than old Parisian but hey, whatevs, better than "LA FRANCHE!"

You mean "terrible" as in "wonderful", Sean? We also have "Still Dre" as rapped by a Genghis Khan and "Straight Outta Compton" by a Viking.
Thanks, Forresst. I doubt it would help, though.

I laughed SO HARD listening to your terrible French accents. I think it was Lyal who came up with the idea of translating the themes we pull out for the episodes into an appropriate language. Our "Italian" accents in the Condottieri episode were all pretty bad, but I think our worst ever were in the Vikings episode.

I think the idea worked for Hoplites and, gosh darn it, we ain't giving up on it.

I'm guessing the musketeer tabbard must have been blue because of the French coat of arms, no idea why they would change to red and gold though. Also, there's a funny story about a duke of Burgundy and the color black. Pure black was actually the most expensive color to produce. The duke felt betrayed by his liege lord, the kind of France (I believe the guy murdered the duke's father in a parley or something) and for the rest of his live he wore only pure black, as a political statement. Also had the nice side-effect of making everyone aware just how rich he was of course.

Maybe red & gold was flashier? Dunno. Like @chrisinkobe said on the episode, we all knew that purple was an expensive color to produce. Hence us now associating purple as a "royal" color. But I had no idea that black was so costly to make. No wonder everyone is so reluctant to send goods up to the Night's Watch on The Wall. All their stuff is black, so imagine how expensive it is to dye all those clothes.

That's weird. Are you trying to listen to it directly from the player on the web page, daniel?

I am just trying to click the links
I dont tnink its my end since i am watching you-tube, and doing other things just fine. As mentioned the same thing has happened with another podcast since a few months so i am assuming its perhaps some sort of provider thing. But that just random ass guessing on my part.

But I had no idea that black was so costly to make. Purple is much flashier than black after all, so I guess that explains why people generally went with that instead of black... In a crowd of dignitaries someone wearing purple is just going to stand out much more. Plus, purple is exotic, so there's the scarcity factor as well. As far as I know, theoretically (meaning just looking at materials required) black could have been produced anywhere. I'm just guessing though, I just picked that black-color-fact up in a lecture, I'm not really able to give you a table of color costs or context or anything like that. I never made that connection, but now that you put it like that Have to say I really enjoy the episodes I listened to so far. I have some train rides ahead of me and I'm looking forward to listening some more.
