Teddy Roosevelt's habit made us hate each other (totally worth it though)



Teddy Roosevelt lived an inspiring and cheers-worthy life, but what made him tick? Apparently an absurd amount of coffee – and something much deeper. Visit https://helixsleep.com/whiskey to get 20% off your Helix mattress, plus two free pillows. Offers subject to change. #helixsleep

  1. I used to drink about a gram of caffeine (albeit in the form of energy drinks) nearly every day when I was back in high school and college. Finally quit caffeine altogether a couple years ago, now one cup of coffee makes me jittery.

  2. I like the part where the guy who shot Teddy was crazy and claimed the ghost of Teddy's predecessor told him to do it. And that Teddy refused to get the bullet removed once he got to a hospital, because his predecessor died from complications when they removed a bullet he was shot with.

  3. All of the Rough Riders were supposed to be on horseback during the Cuba campaign since they were a cavalry unit. However when they went to embark their ships in Florida for the journey there wasn't room for all the horses. So only the officers were allowed to keep their mounts which is also a big reason TR rode up the hill the day of that battle.

    Great episode highlighting a lot of the stories of one of the biggest personalities America has ever known.

  4. An additional interesting facet of the shot-while-giving-a-speech story: The crowd was (understandably) going to beat the shit out of the shooter, but Roosevelt forbade them from doing so, and instead ordered them to just hold on to the shooter until the speech was done. Teddy and his family also had a ridiculous number and variety of pets in the White House.

  7. I already liked and respected Teddy, this episode taught me a lot more about him and made me like and respect him even more. Any lesser or normal person would've died of caffeine overdose from that much coffee.

  8. We need another Teddy Roosevelt in this Country, yet we've been forced into another 2016 Presidential Election, only being instead of Hillary we've got Biden and Trumps still awful Trump. Truly I can't see why anybody wants either let alone the politicians we have in the House/Senate that aren't even remotely close to a Teddy Roosevelt. Our Country historically was at it's strongest under a Teddy Roosevelt. God how I envy the every living Hell out of those who lived through the Generation he served our Country.
