  I do love Map Men but your reaction takes it to another level, your checking of all the facts is entertaining in it's self.

  "Do it, do it, do it!" And you did - towel on head, chicken arms, Sesame Street song! You didn't let us down. Map Men would be proud. 🤣🤣

  Eternal respect JJ for following the prompt at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzvdLLOSeN0&amp;t=1110">18:30</a><br>I wasn&apos;t sure if you would. When you did, I honestly cheered &quot;Yaaay!&quot; and threw my hands up in glee.<br>I&apos;ve got to wonder if Jay put that in just for you specifically.

  Hi JJ, the 1812 overture has no connection to the U.S. war of 1812, Tchaikovsky composed it about the Russians kicking Napoleon out of Russia.

  That&apos;s it, I&apos;m ordering a JJLA mug for that chicken towel Sesame Street performance. I have watched it five times already 😄

  Watched this Map Men episode &nbsp;and immediately wanted to watch your reaction to discover the bits I missed! Such a good example of recycling and upcycling!

  The 1812 Overture (not The War of 1812) by Tchaikovsky celebrated the battle of Borodino, when the Russians defeated Napoleon in 1812.

  Did anyone else notice they swapped voices in the Surfshark ad? &nbsp;Genius.<br>I love the fact that you did the Sesame Street thing! &nbsp;Good show, sir!<br>By the way, surely the solution to politically-motivated gerrymandering like this is to have an apolitical / independent body review district borders on a regular schedule (as they do here in the UK, and probably every other western democracy?)

  Everyone else has covered the serious topics, so to answer your question about the pink mallet thing. &nbsp;That&apos;s &quot;Pinky Punky&quot; an anthropomorphic mallet &nbsp;character from a 1980s UK children&apos;s TV show called &quot;Wackaday&quot; presented by Timmy Mallet, who&apos;s &apos;Thing&apos; was hitting things and people with a giant pink foam mallet.

  Gerrymandering was popular in Northern Ireland for decades. The city of Derry had over 60% Catholic but carefully drawn boundaries ensured that five of the seven seats in local government were always filled by Protestants. This was a significant factor in the following decades of the &apos;Troubles&apos; which led to over three and a half thousand violent deaths. So, not much fun afterall.
