Um, Stefan work. 04:56.24 archpodnet How many countries are in the commonwealth I'll look that up. Go ahead. David. 05:01.32 Duke Of Worcester Probably better to look at how many is head of state for because some have become republics but maintained their Commonwealth status. 05:09.90 Jesus of Nayarit Ah, damn facts stefan where where about are you from in in England That's right because your your name here is duke of borta. 05:10.10 archpodnet Ah. 05:11.93 Duke Of Worcester This is why I'm on here I'm from Worcester england in The United Kingdom of great Britain and Northern Ireland 05:24.50 archpodnet Wait hold on I Thought that was a joke on worshipshire. Oh I can't read all right sorry about that I was ah that's pretty clever and damn I'm an idiot sorry but. 05:29.81 Jesus of Nayarit Nope. 05:34.30 Duke Of Worcester Yeah, yeah, that's the only thing my town is famous for worcestershire source. But as far as things to be famous for go. That's not bad I think you know you think is what I don't know about that cheddar cheese is a bit of a classic bit of a staple. 05:41.65 archpodnet Better than chedter. 05:50.37 archpodnet I Guess so all right. 05:53.59 Duke Of Worcester More so than worcestershire sauce probably truth be told. 05:54.14 Jesus of Nayarit I Think everybody has a bottle of that sauce in their fridge or pantry and still over here for sure has no idea how to say it? Yeah I guess it goes in like barbecue sauce. 06:02.18 Duke Of Worcester Yeah, or what to do with it. 06:11.62 archpodnet So. 06:11.69 Jesus of Nayarit Goes and something right. 06:14.28 Duke Of Worcester I'll ah I'll put it in a chili I'll ah anglicize my text mix and I'll put worcesters a sauce in my chili con Carna as they say I know. 06:20.23 archpodnet All right? So there are 56 so there are 56 countries in the british commonwealth but how many is the crown had a state. 06:20.27 Jesus of Nayarit Damn colonizing the chili. 06:34.82 Jesus of Nayarit Um, you you had to school me on this but I'll I'll put this out for the audience. There's the kingdom of great Britain or the United Kingdom um and then you can be british if you are from England Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland um 06:51.60 Duke Of Worcester Incorrect the irish or irish whether they're from Northern Ireland or the republic of Ireland they're Irish Britain is England Britain is literally the island that contains England Wales and Scotland and Ireland is Ireland so. 06:52.19 Jesus of Nayarit No okay. Got it? okay. 07:02.68 Jesus of Nayarit Got it. 07:07.17 Duke Of Worcester Don't let the Irish catch you throw in that way, you might need to cut that out of this podcast. Honestly yeah. 07:09.80 archpodnet Also going to be chanting David's in a box or David's in a box. 07:11.14 Jesus of Nayarit Oh no in the the ira just comes and gets me ah when you're in the in Northern Ireland do you not say your unite him kingdomes or something or like what what? what? what. 07:25.11 Duke Of Worcester I'm pretty sure they ah they will use the word Irish but um, some may refer to themselves as British Um, but every northern Irish person I've known has considered themselves irish. 07:26.23 Jesus of Nayarit Um, okay. 07:39.18 Jesus of Nayarit Okay. 07:41.90 Duke Of Worcester Whether or not they want to be a part of the Republic they still consider themselves irish. 07:42.86 archpodnet Fair enough. 07:46.90 Jesus of Nayarit So that's why they say great Britain and Ireland that would make sense then okay, um. 07:47.35 Duke Of Worcester Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 07:49.61 archpodnet Perfect and there are 16 countries where the king well now king is head of state that is that includes Canada that's ah New Zealand 07:54.63 Duke Of Worcester Wow, It's up. 08:01.46 Jesus of Nayarit Australia. Um. 08:02.82 Duke Of Worcester Those are going to be the 3 big boys Canada Australia New Zealand and Britain the rest of. 08:06.25 archpodnet And Tiwa Barbuda Barbados the Bahamas belize g granada belize. Okay Jamaica papua new guinea st Lucia Solomon island saint kits and nives and St Vincent and the grenadines. Okay, there's a bunch. 08:21.10 Duke Of Worcester Yeah, some of those have ah various varying relationships with the u k some of them are literally Uk territories but others are I think a lot of the caribbean islands they getting rid of the monarchy there they're ditching us quick. Um, but. 08:27.58 Jesus of Nayarit Okay. 08:35.49 Jesus of Nayarit Would check out. 08:37.96 Duke Of Worcester And other countries like in the I was reading about Canada. It's more complicated because their constitution is so connected to the existence of the crown that it's hard to just throw out even if they would like to because they would have to rewrite their entire constitution. Which is opening up a big can of worms because the french in Quebec, they're gonna they're gonna have some ah words to say about New Canadian constitution is what I was reading so it's it's complicated. Yeah. 09:01.25 Jesus of Nayarit Well. 09:11.27 Jesus of Nayarit Interesting. Okay, um, so. 09:12.44 archpodnet So I guess what was your y'all's reaction when Queen Elizabeth was announced to have passed away I starting with you Stefan. 09:25.16 Duke Of Worcester Um I don't know I mean I I'm not personally of the opinion that we should still have a monarchy to put that out there. Ah my I don't know I suppose I didn't have a strong. Reaction I suppose maybe because of that feeling I think a lot of people had expected it to come for a long time as the thing because she's 96 her husband was dead and there's been a lot of stuff in british media for a long time about what we're going to do when the Queen dies. And and the day before I think or maybe the morning of when that news was announced all the royal family went to bald moral like Queen's estate and Scotland um, and they're all sort of summoned there and. I think a lot of people think she was already dead by then by the time they said the queen's ill I think ah, we're thinking she's already dead but they have because it's not only this the death of a person. It's like this constitutional event that they can't that they're keeping it under wraps for a little bit to get their ducks in a row. 10:23.52 Jesus of Nayarit The. 10:32.60 Jesus of Nayarit Right. 10:38.83 Duke Of Worcester So when they said the Queen was ill I pretty much thought she's already dead and I think I was right on that. Um, but not like a grievous loss for me. 10:44.47 Jesus of Nayarit Yeah, okay, so it's like a Trump's oh sorry. Okay. 10:53.54 archpodnet I Saw it as the end of an age like as we've probably we've discussed on this podcast like I'm a huge history nerd and um, like she's the longesterving monarch. The only monarch that I've known associated with. 11:12.71 archpodnet you know the united kingdom and the commonwealth you know I'm only 30 so that doesn't mean much but when I heard the news that queen elizabeth dieds like okay, that's a end of a end of an internet like she brought she I mean she stood with um as head of state. During some pretty interesting times in in british history from going from like an empire to a commonwealth. Um, you know she spanned generations and it wasn't like I was sad I mean I don't care. It was very much of mental note this has happened and let's see I mean I don't think. King is it. He's king charles now who's who's running the show. 11:52.90 Duke Of Worcester King Charles the third yeah you they do have the ability to pick their own name choose your own adventure style but he's stuck with charles. Yeah. 12:00.89 archpodnet Right? And that's Elizabeth did the same thing. Um, and so I mean King George Charles does not have long for this world either like he iss going to be a pretty short reigning monarch I imagine because he's what in his. Ah. 12:15.71 Duke Of Worcester He's got to be coming up on eighty as. 12:16.70 archpodnet Yeah. 12:16.95 Jesus of Nayarit I was thinking my whole life like he should just abdicate and let the sun take it because he's going to die soon too. But after watching her go like all of the stuff that like he's prepared for his whole life like they're talking about on the news like he's got to do this and that and like transfer of power. It's like damn Yeah. He has to do it. Um. 12:38.27 Duke Of Worcester it's not so simple. yeah it's not so simple ah but yeah, you're right? Callton it is the end of a ah generation when Queen Elizabeth became Queen Britain was still literally an empire on it an empire on its last legs to be fair. 12:49.79 archpodnet Now. 12:55.99 Duke Of Worcester But an empire nonetheless and um and that whole generation now who was alive when Britain was an empire is ah almost gone. 13:08.26 archpodnet Now. 13:11.46 Duke Of Worcester Almost gone anyone who remembers the British Empire is literally an empire is very old now. Um, what changed what. 13:14.31 archpodnet Yeah. 13:15.52 Jesus of Nayarit What changed it like what made it factually become like change out of an empire to what it is now. Is it just like it. Okay. 13:29.14 Duke Of Worcester That's a long gas question the decline of the British empire. But. 13:31.63 archpodnet Was like effectively world war 2 in the american lend lease program and a bunch of was yeah. 13:37.34 Jesus of Nayarit Okay. 13:38.34 Duke Of Worcester Yeah there's I think I think it varies on country to country because it's been really eye-opening on Twitter seeing the responses of people who lived under the British Empire and in british colonies not like Australia and New Zealand and Canada where you know to to speak bluntly The colonization is so was so I don't want to use the word successful because it sounds wrong. But. 14:13.61 Jesus of Nayarit Intense. Yeah, and we know what you mean. 14:17.70 Duke Of Worcester Intense that the the majority population is a descendant of British settlers. Um that it that is that is it just sounds horrible to call it successful. You know like we really did it well there but hearing um stories. 14:19.85 Jesus of Nayarit Right. 14:19.88 archpodnet I Mean that's successful colonization. That's that's why you colonize a place this is. It's like. 14:35.84 Duke Of Worcester Particularly from Africa of like british rule and the violence of british rule. Um, even during Queen Elizabeth's time has been ah, really eye-opening honestly. But. 14:48.23 Jesus of Nayarit Um, yeah. 14:50.29 Duke Of Worcester Yeah, the decline of the british empire no doubt varied from country to country and Africa it seems to be really tried to cling on like we didn't we were violently suppressing independence movements even in the 1950 s 1960 s 15:02.58 archpodnet And just kind of going along with my my previous statement like in terms of the breadth of people that Elizabeth knew even as a princess going through world war ii um, but like Winston Churchill her first prime minister was born in like the eighteen hundreds. 15:15.50 Duke Of Worcester Yeah. 15:17.40 archpodnet And she's gone through like 1213 prime ministers I mean the last one she had for like a couple days like right before she got ill you know? um, but like just kind of like those connect the dots of like you know it's in hundreds in Queen Elizabeth's mind were not that long ago right? like that that span of history that connected. 15:20.68 Duke Of Worcester Yeah, yeah, yeah. 15:32.93 Duke Of Worcester Um, yeah. 15:35.32 archpodnet That she was connected to is is just why is just bonkers. You know what? I mean that's what I'm most amazed at it's like we lost that threat. It's like when for us like when George Frisn at the University Of Wyoming Died like he was this huge connection to these past archeologists and like early twentieth century archeology. 15:38.53 Jesus of Nayarit Yeah. 15:52.39 archpodnet When he passed away. He was like 1 of the last of those guys and it's like okay that connection back to our past as a discipline is is now severed but you know. 16:01.61 Duke Of Worcester Yeah, you can never ah, ask them move. You know now with it's when someone dies you can never pick their brain again I'm sure she had some great stories to tell about world leaders If you got a gin and tonic in her I bet she could tell you a great story. But. 16:19.33 Jesus of Nayarit Um, for I guess for me, it's like 1 I saw it in a meme like I think Carlton sent and a group chat we had with 2 other people and I was like wait she died because I knew she was ill but I didn't have signals so I had to wait to find out. Um. 16:29.81 archpodnet Of fuck. 16:35.72 Jesus of Nayarit And then I realized I had xm radio and I could just turn that on and that died to did fine she died. But yeah, end of an era and it's like my parents were born in 57 and sixty so she's been the queen since they were born and like their whole life. It's been that and like mine too. Um, and. 16:48.60 Duke Of Worcester The ah. 16:54.26 Jesus of Nayarit Yeah, like you've just always heard the queen of england it's god save the queen which I had to sing at a masonic camp when I was a kid and the Sps angle banner is weird I know the words to it now. But um, yeah, my dad's whole family is all like masons and my mom's. 17:02.57 archpodnet Go to Masonnic Camp. Oh. 17:09.64 Duke Of Worcester And they made you sing God save the queen. 17:11.73 Jesus of Nayarit Brother in law too. It was like a joint british American Camp in Upstate New York um there's all british counselors I like is that like allowed and I to fold the flag. But yeah, it's just like. 17:17.90 Duke Of Worcester Well maybe the empire didn't die. It just became the masons. Yeah, we went underground. 17:29.75 Jesus of Nayarit Huh and my parents are so attached they watch acorn all day and like all these old british crime dramas and like new shows and they like watched out and avy and they went to England like I saw the queen and all like yeah like cool. Ah, it's just like. 17:40.33 Duke Of Worcester Now. 17:44.14 Jesus of Nayarit It's an interesting thing and people here. Follow it pretty well too because it's like they're celebrities I guess less so than we care about Boris Johnson so like I don't. 17:53.40 Duke Of Worcester They're definitely They've definitely become celebrities in some quarters America particularly has a love of the or an interest in the royal family for sure. Ah, which is so funny. You know, considering the history. You'd think you'd be like fuck these guys bullocks to these guys. But ah yeah, they are they are popular over here for sure like all the you know when you're in the supermarket and you look at the trashy magazines right? before you check out. 18:08.72 Jesus of Nayarit It's It's interesting right. 18:27.30 Duke Of Worcester A lot of them frequently. Talk about the royal family. It's kind of funny. It's the same in Britain. 18:29.24 archpodnet Yeah percent and on that note, we're gonna go ahead and close out the segment. We'll be right back with episode one twenty seven with ah Stefan Milo right after these messages. 18:30.41 Jesus of Nayarit Um, oh yeah.
