Adam is the kid who yells "Don't forget plasma!" When the teacher is talking about the stages of matter
-
"Death had to take Teddy in his sleep, for were he awake, there would have been a fight."

It’s not just Sioux land, those particular mountains are SACRED land.
-
You forgot to mention the mountain is sacred to the Sioux, called the mountain of the Six Grandfathers. And almost immediately after the land grab, the US gov't defaced the sacred monument by carving the faces of US Presidents. That wasn't an accident. It was deliberate vandalism.
-
We all know the real mount rushmore contained a city of gold discovered by nicholas cage.
-
Man i always thought it would have been funny if they started with the torsos or legs and then Borglum died.
-
“Ok, so this sculptor was a maniac who’s name sounds like a Swedish Muppet’s death rattle,” Underrated line.

I'm gonna hop in here, Teddy Rosevlt was an incredible president, he fought for wildlife conservation, built a modern America, got asians equal rights, fought corruption, ended the Russo- Japanese war, and a lot more. He was a great leader and very very popular at the time, knowing the artist didn't hurt but regardless. So he did more than "like hunting"
-
To be honest, the "hall of records" idea is actually pretty cool
-
I thought their faces were on the monument because they were Hokage
-
“ and Roosevelt liked hunting?” Yes and don’t forget he was a military leader, effective president, helped preserve lots of land, helped create the FDA, kept a badger and bear as a pet in the White House, had his eye be injured in a boxing match while president, and was shot in the chest and still gave a speech and lived
-
“Vince we need the new day” Why? “So they can say cowboy rocks” This is such good shit

any human being: "i like this thing its great!" Adam: you dare oppose me mortal

My friend and I were traveling across the country many years ago. Went to Mt Rushmore, just to see it. I think we were there about 25 minutes. Took a few pics and that was it. Ive seen a lot of fascinating things and places in the Lower 48, but Mt Rushmore wasnt one of them. Restroom was clean, so that was a plus.
-
Adam should talk about the "eagle" cry actually being from a red-tailed hawk.
-
I love that new day cameo because New day rocks New day rocks New day rocks
-
It just feels like this monument was just rushed
-
Teddy was massively progressive and one of the best presidents we've had
-
Anyone else watching this while Trump is in South Dakota about to celebrate the 4th of July on the 3rd?
