Αλ right, so this is the first of my, I guess, kind of like personal podcasts.
I've come up with the name Greenlish. Get it? Greek English?
It's kind of a Greek focus podcast.

Δεν ξέρω, το πράγμα, το 20% τα τελευταία, το 15 χρόνια, που δεν ήμουν αυτοί, ο οικονομικός δημιουργίας και ο γυρίς ήταν ένα φαντασίδιο, διότι είναι καλύτερο, είναι καλύτερο, είναι καλύτερο ότι είμαστε γινάς, αλλά δεν θα καταλάβουμε να φύγουμε σε όπου είμαστε, στο 2008, δεν ξέρω, από το τελευταίο της δεκάδας, από το 2030, δεν θα θα είμαστε όπου είμαστε στο 2008.
Μια άνθρωποι δεν καταλαβαίνουν πως καλύτερο ήταν η οικονομική χρόνια για γυρίς, they were like, oh no, you know, you had a bad year, no,
they were saying it was like a US recession where it was bad when you were two or five,
this was a decade and I came to Greece in 2018, and it wasn't like, oh, we're doing really well, 2008,
and then worse and worse until 2018, that's when I got there, and that was, I would say, the worst time to get to Greece,
to live there because the refugee crisis here and the economic crisis just had no sign of getting any better ever, right?
Every day there was a protest, I walked from, I guess from the Limonas Victoria in the middle of Athens,
maybe the worst place in Athens, you tell me what you think, which is the worst place in Athens,
and then Greece, I often hear Ayespan de Limonas, the shock that I see people have when I tell them I lived in Ayespan de Limonas,
makes me think it's Ayespan de Limonas, and like, if you google Ayespan de Limonas Victoria, all the news articles are really not good,
they're like, drug dealer this, kidnapping that, shooting this, you know, burnt out car that, I remember calling Ubers,
and none of them ever coming, I remember calling the police because I saw it burnt out, big trash thing, completely burnt,
on fire, the car's getting on fire next to it, I called the police at my elbow, there's a fucking car on fire,
he goes, what's the address, we'll come now, I don't know, Ayespan de Limonas, they're like, oh, hung up immediately,
they like, let it burn bro, what's the point, it's always all a dump there, so when I got there, it was pretty bad,
I remember coming up to Victoria, through the Victoria Metro, the Green Tile Metro, which I actually quite like that aesthetic,
if it wasn't out of sheep poverty and not updating it in 120 years, but whatever, it is actually the album cover for the song Victoria from the Melises,
which I love that song, but I'm coming up from that Metro station in 2018, I come up, and I just see you on the Blatia of Victoria,
just maybe like 1000 Syrians or Afghanis, just sleep on a car, but I'm like, straight from Australia, I'm like, hmm, maybe I shouldn't have left Australia,
and then I go to my cousin's place and I live there for how many years, on and off, but the economic crisis was bad,
2018 was like, oh, this is really bad, 2019, I feel like tourism dollars slowly started to see some sort of hope for the country,
but 2018 was terrible, honestly terrible, 2020 and 2021, we suffered from COVID, so only really now,
and soon we were just coming up in 2019, 2020 Greece, and they're like COVID, you get like, fratourism,
which is what it was, what is the figure, 17% of our economy, we got fucked, so now the numbers are starting to look good,
but in context it's like, don't say it's good, it's like, we're dying and we're just breathing, just gasping for air,
but not to put it down or anything, but it's true, like, they're like, oh, Greece, two point, they see a big graph of all the economic growth in Europe,
and they're like, oh, Greece, two point, 2% is so, this is a comeback story, it's like, this is a comeback to medium story,
this is a comeback to surviving story, we're not surviving, we just being drowned anyway, so now I want to talk about some good stuff,
but there's these, I think before, I want to say before 2021, I have never heard anyone say the words Athens Riviera, right?
What the fuck is that? What the fuck is that Athens Riviera? Is it what I thought and is what everyone thinks,
especially Greeks, when they hear Athens Riviera, because a Riviera, now we're going to go to the screen here,
but I'm in Athens Riviera now, let's see what even Google says, Athens Riviera, visit Greece, here we see, there's a whole Wikipedia page,
the Athenian Riviera, there you go, so that of course talking about, let's call it from Pideos, East, going East down the coast, right?
They're including Faluros, Flisvos, Glyphada, Vula, Voliagmeni, Varkiza, Vula Beach, there you go, now if you're Greek, if you're Athenian, like I am,
you would agree that this Riviera is pretty fucking shit, to be honest, compared to, listen, compared to the Cote Zorde, right? Cote de Zorde, right?
It's very different, right? The Cote Zorde is the French Riviera, it's a very different Riviera, right?
It's gorgeous, mind you, I've been, it's amazing, a lot of Greeks have been to the French Riviera, but the reality is, it's a completely different ballgame, right?
Because we're talking about the Cannes, like the Cannes Film Festival, we're talking about Centro Pay, we are talking about, what else are we talking about?
Nice, Monaco, like how can you compare Nice, Monaco, all after, to Flisvos Marina? You can't, right?
So it's a bit of a like, give me a fucking break thing, but also, good, you know, fine, it's been embarrassing, but fine.
So like, this is the French Riviera from Marseille, which is much more like Athens than Bloody Cannes.
Marseille, let's pull it up on maps. So Cote d'Azur, d'Azur.
So a lot of French, northern French and English people will go to the French Riviera, and I would say it kind of starts in Centro Pay, which is gorgeous.
Little towns like this, beautiful, nice, beach town, blah, blah, blah. There's a lot of events here too, like rich white people, sports like golf, and film festivals and stuff like this.
So the event part of building out a Riviera as a tourist location is massive, right? Cannes is somewhere here, of course Cannes Film Festival.
I went to a party there one time, and Nice, which is like the main airport for this place. I lived in Nice for like three or four months.
And then Monaco, which is a part of it, and if we're talking like events for rich white people, Monaco is like F1, Yacht show, all this stuff.
They've event every two minutes there. Every time I go there, they have a, they're putting on the bigger grandstands, right?
So let's see if we put Athens Riviera or comes up. Okay, okay. So slowly, slowly, this is what we're trying to build out.
Now, I think this is good because, as you can imagine, the center of Athens is just packed, chock-a-block, full of tourists, right?
But they don't really come down here, right? They don't really come. Now, for Greeks in Athens, all right, if you want to go to the beach, we might go to...
Maybe Vulla, but even then, it's just packed. I mean, most of us will just go and drive out to a proper beach, this broken beach.
Maybe Vardi Vulliagmeni, all right? And we'll go here. We might go here, all right?
So they're going to build this out. Now, a big part of this whole Riviera scheme is Elenicon, of course.
Now, Elenicon, for those of you who do not know, Elenicon used to be the main airport for Athens and Greece, right?
For Olympic Airways, and I drove past there maybe two, three years ago, and you could still see the massive, old Olympic Airways planes, right?
Just in a field, like the whole place. Like this is a massive, massive area.
And it was just empty and doing nothing. In the middle of the city, for 20 years, maybe more.
Like, Leifard is all around it. My theory lives around here. Like, people live here. In front, Brestar, Kipiso, right?
Like, it's up, down, north, south, everywhere people live here. It's just this massive hole in the city.
And of course, as many of you know, the tender, the contract to develop this airport into something useful,
went out a couple of years ago. It took a long time for someone to get the contract.
I believe it was Lambda Group who got it. And they have a pretty good success rate, right?
And actually doing the job and getting it done.
Now, for those of you who do not know Greece, or Greek people, or Greek projects, we are not in Greece.
We are not very good at finishing.
Dare I say, in Greece, there's this kind of joke.
If you say, ah, it'll happen, you know, when pigs fly in English, in Greek, we say, it'll happen when the Thessalamniki metric gets finished, right?
Because that took 20, 30 years. I think it's still not done.
Yeah, and it's like one line. Look how basic this line is.
And it's still not done. It's not some high-speed rail like Japan. It is the bare fucking minimum, right?
Athens in comparison, like, not to roast Thessalamniki and say that Athens is better.
Athens has had a metric for like 120 years. It was one of the first ones in the world.
But anyway, it's because they kept running into like archaeological digs and stuff, which, hey, as a history nerd, I'm not a poster, respecting that a little bit, a little bit.
But so, I'm only gone, right? Here we go.
Lambda development. They're the ones taking control of this.
What I like about this is you can never, as a Greek citizen, civilian, you look at big projects and you're like, oh, you can see the scaffolding, you go, I don't know what the update is.
I would like to know a bit about what's happening to my city, especially when it's half the bloody city.
But you can never really see updates. And it kind of sucks, right?
Now, the first thing we talked about, actually, Griggs getting the job done.
I think the reason that this is actually getting done is because private developer actually had to put the money in and he's doing the work.
And this Lambda development actually gets it done.
It's not the Greek government in the case of the Thessaloniki metro, right?
And the Greek government has to do some start parts of this contract, but I think it's just a road that goes through.
So, one thing I like is this, on the Eleni Kondo.com.gr, you can go in and see what the update is, right?
And you can actually see it. You can actually see how things are going.
So, for example, I'm on the website, which is using VMware for some reason, instead of YouTube.
I would put the website a bit differently and it's taking forever to load.
Greek websites aren't known for being good.
Just show me some pictures of it. Come on.
Okay, so we have Q1, Q4, Q3.
This took a look at the Q1 2024 progress.
They've got the foundation in. That's a good sign.
Mind you, they made so many edits and redesigns of the Riviera Tower.
You're like, this is never going to be made.
But man, these are the foundations. The foundations are in.
So, they picked one. They're moving ahead.
Now, from what I saw of the plans, it's going to be one massive fucking casino,
which I've never been the biggest fan of degenerate gambling.
But I don't really assume Greeks, Athenians, are going to be the ones really using the Eleni Kondo.
I think it'll be tourists, which is fine, I guess.
You know, whatever.
About that. It's going to be a big ass park too.
I like parks. I like green spaces.
I think it helps. Well, I know it helps statistically.
Health in the cities, right?
So like, and Daxi, I like all the parks and all that stuff.
They're building a couple of buildings that are like government buildings.
Like this one, this is a government building for disabled people or something rather.
It's already done basically. It doesn't look extremely innovative.
It's just a three-story building.
But then whatever, at least they're using the bloody space now, right?
At least something is getting done.
So, all in all, this is great.
I remember how many times I've driven from Flisvos to Vullergmene,
I'm like, why is the seaside look so shit?
They can't even put a sidewalk or a footpath for the one seaside, the one path,
the one coast that Athens has.
It's frustrating, right?
Mind you, like if you go down this road here, just go down this road,
the sidewalk is a mess.
Now, I think as a coastal city, as a city of the sea, right?
The famous Athenian Theloscopracy.
You'd think they'd care a bit more about their connection,
the city, which is really the city, because ancient Athens was just this area,
then they had the long walls going down to Pidelos, which was another city.
The walls went across here, down this kind of road, whatever,
before the Spartans won the Peloponnesian war and told them to tear it down.
Unlucky, should have won.
But as a Theloscopracy, you'd assume that there's more connection to the sea.
Because we are still, as a nation of Greece, we're still,
not a Theloscopracy, but in many ways we kind of are, we're a democracy,
and we have the largest merchant fleet in the world, right?
Mainly based out of Pidelos, right?
Now, Pidelos, okay, this is a very functional, utilitarian port, right?
And all these ports are very utilitarian.
They're there for work, so don't worry about it looking good.
But from here, you can really start it from here, all of this is recreational.
There's a beach, I don't know who would swim there, the water looks disgusting.
But okay, we have marinas and ducsine.
This place here is disgusting, looks gross, but maybe the biggest embarrassment for all of Athens is this area here.
What do you want to call this?
Leoforos, Posidinos, all this area is an absolute spit in the face.
This is the most direct sea frontage of Athens, and if you go here firstly, there's a massive,
there are actually massive piles of fucking dirt, dirt just in front of the sea.
They've been there for, I don't know, 20 years now, 15 years, and then, so it's just concrete wall, piles of fucking dirt, trash and malachia.
Just trash, man, trash, like a garbage dump.
And then a massive fucking highway, train tracks, all this shit, and then the city.
Now, when you think, I'm not an infrastructure expert, right?
But I do know some things.
I know that a city should be connected a bit better to the sea, right?
If you look at some cities that have, I don't know, some logic, I think Barcelona is a bit of a good example,
because it was a very old city, just like Athens, an old city, this was a Roman town, that expanded outwards, very fucking fast.
Like all this area here was built in less than 200 years, the last 200 years.
And all of the beach, all these beaches are fake sand, they're all made up, they're all fantasy, right?
All the sand was brought from Costa Brava all the way up here, right?
So like, and their port is very utilitarian, but this area can be developed, right?
Now, all this sea frontage is, this might be one of the most popular beaches in the Mediterranean.
Actually, confidently, I would say Barcelona Beach is the most popular beach in the Mediterranean.
And it didn't exist before the 70s, before the Barcelona Olympics.
You can, and here's the thing, the city, from the old town, the city flows down in a nice promenade down to the sea.
And so like me, every day I come to the old town, go to my office and then walk down to the sea, go for a walk and walk back.
It flows, everything is connected.
But the fact is very, in contrast, if you come down from the city, down this road, firstly, oh my God.
Andreas Seagruh, Leoforos Avenue is terrible.
I hate this road. Every Greek hates this road. Every taxi driver hates this road. It's the worst, right?
What I would like to see is like a Champs-Elysees, what's it called, the one in Paris?
Champs-Elysees.
A big road like this, it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 lanes with bike paths, with walking footpaths on each side, like big wide avenues.
There's no reason that can't be done, Fathons, because something I realized no one does in Athens.
I used to do this like an idiot. Well, may not my runs, but you would never walk from Acoropoli, all the way down Leoforos Seagruh, all the way down here.
It's a long walk, but if it was nice, you'd have no problem with it. You would never walk from there, Opa.
Then cut a right into the Stavros Niartikos Foundation building, take a look at that, take this footpath over, and then go down to Flesvos.
You would never do that, because it's so disconnected, and you're going to die on Seagruh.
The footpath is fucked. There's strip clubs everywhere that are disgusting, and you're going to get stabbed 42 times in the throat.
Why would you do that?
I think as an extension of Athens Riviera, all we know is that for sure, we're not for sure, all we can hope from the evidence is that Elenicon is going to develop into something decent.
At least a bigger, I would prefer a big ass park with just dendro and bloody grass than what it is here now.
If you put a casino in there, we've got to make some money, I get it. But that would fix a big hole in the whole ugly father Athens Riviera thing.
But we've got to at some point solve this piles of dirt, all this trash.
I reckon you should just put this massive highway underground so that the city can actually flow into the sea.
Put marines here, put something here so it's actually usable.
I think maybe the worst part of all this is, okay, Leofros Seagruh and Leofros Posidonis.
Okay, that's a big ass project, that's not going to happen now, it's not a quick fix.
But for example here, Stavros Neotikos Foundation, everyone's done this walk, everyone has done this walk here.
There's just massive areas that are just not well done at all.
This footpath here is like scaffolding and shit everywhere, you can't just pave the path properly and put some trees.
But the fuck, it's so easy, I could do it.
If my full-time job as a gardener was to just garden this path to make it look half decent, I could get it done.
And then you come off the Stavros Neotikos footpath here and you're in a fucking car park.
And then you have to walk, if you want to continue to Athens Riviera, you have to walk through this disgusting car park that smells like rotting fish.
You walk through here, which is just boats that have fucking blown up and shit.
You've got to walk through here through a car park, walk through this tiny road here, walk through here, which is actually quite nice because you have usually have the tri-ring here.
You have the, yeah, there you go, the tromb, Olympias, you have the Avedov, that my great-grandfathers served on to defeat the Turkish navies.
And then, okay, it's all right. It's not such a bad walk, Flisvot, Ba-ba-ba, Athens Riviera.
But like, mark my words, this will not be the last time I talk about the Athens Riviera, the terrible state of the Athens seaside, and Elenicon.
We'll keep updating, but that's my rant.
So let's go to the next topic, which is, ooh, this is a fun one, Byzantine or East Roman emperor T-list.
Now, this is going to be fun.
So my editor and I are both history nerds and I've been meaning to do this for a long time.
I want to go through a T-list of all of the Roman emperors from Western Rome to Eastern Rome, what we call the Byzantine Empire or the East Roman Empire, right?
Now, Byzantine is a fucking name that I don't like because that's what the Western Roman Empire or the Holy Roman Empire gave to the East Roman Empire, which was the rightful.
It was just the Roman Empire, but of course the Holy Roman Empire Emperor didn't want to be calling.
Well, there's only one Emperor, right?
So they said, well, Constantinople was called Byzantium, a Greek city that Byzants from Messenia, not Messenia, Merada colonized, right?
So they're like, oh yeah, they're just some dirty Greeks.
We'll call them the Byzantine Empire, not the East Roman Empire.
They're the people of the country called themselves Romani Roman, right?
So what we're going to do is, and as a history nerd, this is very definitive.
I'm going to do it quick so that people who don't care, don't get bored.
I'm going to do a T-list of all the Roman emperors.
I've been meaning to do this for a long bloody time.
So with that being said, no further ado, let's screen record and let's go.
So, Roman Emperor T-list from 27 BC, which is Augustus, to 1453, Konstantinos Paliollovos, right?
And I can rank them from excellent, great, good, decent, okay, mediocre, poor, bad, terrible, unrankable, right?
Augustus, it's just kind of crazy that the first one was so bloody good, right?
He's almost unrankably too good. He was excellent.
I think he was the longest reigning emperor too, which is absurd.
Ταμμύριος, he was bad, but he wasn't some of the others.
Καλίγουλα was terrible.
Κλωτιός was, he's the one who did,
Κλωτιός did, I think he tried to conquer the UK, but didn't.
Αγραπεία, a grapina minor, come on.

Ευρήνα.
Οι ερωτές θα σας δείξω.
Ειρήν was ready to sell out the East Roman Empire for anything.
She's not a commander, she's not a leader, how many people she poisoned?
No one knows but I'm going to put in terrible.
She's ready to sell out the whole empire to marry what's the magnificent guy in the West over there.
The Frankish dude, Charlemagne.
Give me a break.
The name Logothetis is actually in my family tree which we'll do on another episode.
But I think this is the one that...
No, Andronicus is the one so I'll get to that.
I think...
No, we're not even there yet.
Oh my god there's so many East Roman ones.
Ozori Yacos, I think he was a bit better.
Rangabe, I think he was a Malacca.
Ardomenius, I don't remember.
But I'll put him in OK because he's Armenian.
Thomaslavos, sounds like he's like Serbian or something.
Put him in poor because I never heard of him.
Again, I'm like you're in a terrible bro.
I didn't mean it.
Theophilos, I don't remember these people man.
Theodora, let's put all the Theodoras in unrankable because I don't remember what the fuck they did.
Alright Theodora, she's not... OK. Theodora can go...
The real Theodora can go into bad.
OK, she's not bad dude.
She's decent, alright.
Fine.
Michael III, I remember him.
Basil of Macavone.
Now he, if I recall correctly, started the...
Um...
Macedonian Renaissance.
I don't remember from bad.
No, I don't think he did.
But whatever, let's say he did just because his name's similar
and I don't remember what he did to the great...
Let's put him in decent.
I'll put him in OK.
I don't want to...
I like that we have very few in the top.
Leo VI, I don't remember what the fuck he did.
Put him in OK.
Αλεξάντα, I went and saw his mosaic in Constantinople.
I don't remember what he did.
Zoe of Athens, Jesus Christ.
Put her in unranked...
Put her in terrible. I hate her.
Romano's like a penos. I don't remember what he did.
Put him in poor though, because I feel like he did something good.
Constantine born of the purple.
I think he was good. Just a bit underrated.
But I don't really remember what he did.
Put this guy there as well, since they have basically the same name.
Νικαφόδος φοράκας, the white death of the Saracens.
All right, now we're talking there.
Let's put him in...
Look, he wasn't great.
But now that the world is shrunk, the Roman Empire is shrunk,
great has a more relative meaning, right?
Now he wasn't excellent.
He wasn't great.
He wasn't just good.
Because Anastasios is good.
I'm going to put him in great.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm down for that.
The Miskes, our Armenian friend.
I don't really remember what he did.
I don't remember he was good.
So I put him in good.
And now it's time.
Play the music.
Wait, let's actually play the music.
What are we going to play?
So he's excellent.
Need I say more?
Like really?
You know, if you're like a George, maybe he's just great.
Look, look who's in great.
Marcus Aurelius, look he's dope.
I like his books, man.
He kept the peace or whatever.
He didn't conquer anything, but he kept the peace and he was good.
Aurelian almost restored the world, but he didn't.
Konstantin the great.
Alright, he moved the capital to the east, which was smart.
He defeated Lycinius or whatever his name was.
He made the thing everyone Christian.
Dope, but he didn't conquer anything.
The odds weren't stacked against him.
It was kind of like, yeah, you were against him, back vs white.
A team vs B team, fight, good luck.
Good luck to you, brother.
Not bad.
Justinian, alright, he conquered the world.
Belisarius conquered the world.
And even I don't want to give it to him, but Bloody Narsis also did all the conquering.
Justinian sat there, is he here?
You know what I'm saying?
Heraclius, he did a good thing, but then the Arabs came.
Nikofotas Fokas, again with the Arabs.
But he died.
All of them have a yes, but Basil did one.
Firstly, the odds were stacked against him.
His Bloody Empire was falling apart.
Every single year he went to war himself.
East, west, north, south, Armenia, Georgia, the Arabs, the Bogars, the Serbs, the Bloody Christians, the Franks, the Lombards.
Everybody there, it was a crisis.
And he triumphed year after year after year after year.
He might have had his failures, but he kept coming back.
Do you understand what I'm saying here?
Even Augustus, right?
Alright, the odds were stacked against him.
He had a civil war against 18, like I'm saying, 18 against B team.
It was like a fair fight.
Βασίλια, then he had a fair fight, bro.
He was not fair, he was never fair.
And he didn't just win.
He viscerated the Bogars from the map.
When did Bulgaria even become a country again?
A couple hundred years after?
Even the Ottomans didn't even let the Bogars or Bulgarians have a country.
He viscerated them.
And they were winning.
And then he wiped them off the face of the earth.
Now, look, you say, hey George, you didn't leave an air.
Dude, don't worry about that.
Who cares?
He was a savage.
Are you listening?
A savage.
You know you're a savage when you go to war every bloody day.
And the Armenians are like...
I can't figure out who to give my kingdom to.
My sons, my nephews, they were my lacus.
You know what, Βασίλια, take it.
When was the other time in all of Anatolian history,
where one kingdom was like, you know what, this is a bigger kingdom.
Don't go to war with my kingdom.
Just take it.
I can only think of one other time.
When the Greek kingdoms post-Daito-Kyivas were slowly being taken up by Sulla, by Caesar.
And then one kingdom, it would have been someone there in the Highlands.
They're like, you know what, I'm dying.
I don't have a kid. Rome, just take it.
Cool. You're such a winner. Just take it.
Only Armenia.
And Armenian say was like, you know what Βασίλια,
you just destroyed the Georgians because they got a bit restless.
They thought we were down.
Rome, we weren't, we up.
And the Armenians were like, look bro, I'm dying, I got no kids.
We'll just come under your rule, take it.
That's just boss mentality, boss aura.
Aura 1000, bro.
Things are good.
Legend.
Great.
Not great.
Excellent.
Okay, that was a long rant.
Constantine VI, born of the purple, sick name.
I won't put you in bad, I'll put you in poor though.
Because I don't even remember what the fuck he did.
Rome is Argyros, again.
I don't know what the fuck he did.
Michael Pavlogonian, I don't even know what he did.
Michael Calafate, Calafates.
That almost sounds Arab.
I don't even remember what he did.
Zoe, born of the purple.
I don't remember what she did.
But I think it was good.
I'll put it in poor.
Constantine Monomachos, I don't even remember what he did.
But he does have a sigmoiseic that I saw.
So I'm down with it.
Theodora Portugienus, Portugienutus, Genitis.
Put you next to the other Theodora.
All right, Theodora Aminia, I don't even remember what she did, but she's not.
They're not terrible.
All right, I'll take you out of it.
Zoe was a Malacca though.
She's the one from Sparty, was a Malacca.
Or was that Irene?
Put them there together, Masi.
At the bottom of the list.
Marcus Taratiotik, I don't remember what he did.
Isaac Kominos, he's a Kominos.
I'll put him a bit higher.
But I don't remember what he did.
When's the Lascaritas coming?
When's the Fifth Crusade?
Lucas, I think he was good.
But I can't remember what he did.
I think these are all just like civil war guys, you know, like just being at war with each other.
Ramas Diogenes, I don't remember what he did.
But this one, I feel like I saw his face on the crown in Hungary.
I remember I was trying to find where I was in life, and I was in Budapest.
And I didn't want my girlfriend knowing that I smoke cigarettes at the time.
So I would go out and just walk the streets of Budapest, beautiful city to do that.
To drink coffee, smoke and go to the museums.
I went to the archaeological museum.
There was this perfectly, one of two, perfectly preserved Byzantine crowns that they gave to the Eastern Empire.
They gave to the Hungarian Empire when he gave them the princess or whatever.
I think that's from that.
But I can't remember. It's the same design anyway.
But the Botaniatis, I think he was a civil war dude, don't like that.
You have Alexios Komnenos.
Now, this is the Crusade days.
Now, he's not excellent.
My fuck, he was smart dude.
So smart.
Like, don't forget, if I'm not wrong, and maybe I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure this guy invented the Crusades.
Like, he invented it.
He asked Ella Pope, bring your boys, let's go to war with the Arabs and Muslims.
Like, ball and move dude.
So I would put him in great. To not put him in great would be remiss.
I feel like I should put Trajan in great, but he didn't really do shit.
John Komnenos, was he a baller?
I remember seeing his mosaic.
I always mix up all the Komnenai.
I put him in good because I don't want to put him as the Theodor.
Manu Komnenos, I think was good too, right?
I can't remember. I think all the Komnenai, the Komni ads, the Komneniui were good.
I can't remember.
Alexis Komnenos, that sounds like the first one, but I don't think he was as good.
Andronicus Komnenos.
Now, Andronicus, Andronicus, Andronicus.
I couldn't remember all my Andronicai.
I think Andronicus Komnenos, Andronicus Komnenos.
So, why is it in Spanish?
So, my family tree starts interlinking with top brass of the Roman Empire
when they retake Kisira because they get the notarás which is connected to my family, which is my family, at some point.
But I think that is a later.
So, all right, this Andronicus, he ain't nothing special.
Mind you, the Empire is bloody dying at this point, so these guys can't be that good.
Alexis Angilos, I really remember.
Murtzufl...
You don't deserve to be there.
Lascaris, now, if I'm not wrong, that's why I don't remember this last guy.
Where are you, bro? I fucking regret that.
You stupid name.
Can I reverse? Where's that guy?
Because if I'm not wrong, this is the guy who let the bloody fifth crusade come through and take on Santa Noble.
Terrible, terrible.
Lascaris, if I'm not wrong, he's the one who created the Nicene Empire and started to bring back everything.
He was actually a great administrator.
He put libraries in cities and everything.
He was actually pretty solid.
All the Lascaris in my eyes are solid dudes, even though I can't really differentiate what the fuck they do.
John III, that says... I don't remember the fuck he did.
But put him in mediocre.
Thielo Lascaris, I think he was pretty dope.
All the Lascaris... I think he was the one who retook...
...Quant Santa Noble? I can't really differentiate the Lascaris.
John, he probably did some dope shit too. All the Lascaris are pretty cool.
Now we get to the Paleologi.
Now, if I'm not wrong, they're all pretty shit except for the last one.
Because, well, they lost.
Now, my family intertwined with the last few Paleologi.
So look, put them in bad.
I don't know what they did, but they all did mediocre shit.
They're making alliances with the Turks, anyone.
Andronikos Geithira.
Let me try and find which Andronikos...
Yeah, show me this page. This is probably the one. I always forget.
Andronikos II. There we go.
Thank you Google search.
So, now if we convert this to English...
Geith...
Hmm. Just tell me if you're the one who bloody...
Can you put this in English, or do I?
Geith...
Are you the one who reconquered Geithira Bro from the Venetians?
I think he was the one who was like, we don't need a navy anymore.
Destroy the navy. Stupid.
Okay, so, this Andronikos...
I'm actually currently in Barcelona, and I'm living on...
Carrera de Rodgi de Flor, which is the street of Roger the Flor.
And this Andronikos Paleologos, he hired the Catalan company,
from Catalonia, from Barcelona, led by Roger the Flor, this guy here, to come and kill some Turks.
And then he did a great job, but of course being Greek, we didn't want to pay.
So then we cut his head off, and then his company just took over basically Thessaly and Attica and massacred us.
What are you going to do?
What year was he?
So 1300, I think he was the one who took... There's got to be a Notarás summer here.
Maybe it was another Andronikos?
I don't know, but they all sucked.
It's got to be that one. Which one? Just show me Lucas Notarás, bro.
So my family tree goes down to Lucas Notarás.
And I always forget which emperor he served, so he served the last emperor.
But also descended from a family from Manavastia, his earliest surviving sources.
He captured the island, kithed up from the Venetians of Emperor.
Oh, it was Michael, the 8th.
Michael the 8th, but I'm never going to find this guy.
Michael the 8th, Baliorlobus.
Dude, I'm never going to find him.
Anyway, I regret putting him wherever I put him, because I probably was putting him anywhere.
But he deserves to be something good, because he bought my family tree in line.
Anyway, John the 5th, I'm pretty sure he bloody...
I don't know, but I'm putting it bad.
These all pretty bad, they're just making deals with Turks and Europeans that are from Havana.
We're all pretty bad, dude. This guy went to the west to try and do a thing.
And just because he lost, which is not Bola, but he died doing what he must, so that makes him good.
So this is my final tier list. In excellent, we have two people.
Basil II, Bulgacratos, the Bulgac Slayer.
Vulgaroctonos.
Basil II, the Bulgac Slayer, and Augustus.
Michael the 2nd and Augustus, they speak for themselves.
Do I really need to go through this again? Please.
Aurelian almost restored the world, didn't.
Aurelius was dope, kind of like made Stalsism dope, and he was peaceful and good.
Constantine, Christianity, all that. Just seeing in restoration.
Educklius, I think, I thought he was dope. I know a lot of people would disagree.
Faucas, White Death of Saracens was dope.
Cominos, the Cominian restoration, I think that was dope.
Claudius, Vespasian, Trajan, Neurvahedron, Antoninus, Pius, Diocletian, all dope Roman emperors who did some dope stuff, some bad stuff, but they're good.
They're fine. They did what Roman emperors were supposed to do.
The Odysseus, the Odysean wars, he did a lot of good politicking, getting as much power from the west as he could.
Anas Varsius, Diacodus, I think, underrated good financier.
He basically put all the funds together for two generations or three generations later.
Justinian, Zimiscus, Armenian, he continued some of the good work that Postoles, Faucas did.
Do you need kill, Faucas? I thought they were friends. John Cominos, I can't remember what he did, but I thought he was dope.
All the Cominian, all the Lascaria in there, because they restored shit and reconquered Constantinople.
Of course, Constantinos Palio Logos is there because...
I really need to explain, he died like a G.
So that's how Teal is done.
I think we'll end there. We had a good kind of range of stupid stories, news, infrastructure and history.
I'll end this little story, this little podcast, the first Green Glitch podcast with kind of news for me.
So I just went to Money with My Mother, flew in from Barcelona, took an Audi A4, which apparently is a nice car.
I quite liked it. I don't really know anything about cars.
I've never driven a nice car, so it was nice to actually drive a nice car.
I slowly understand it. I always liked Topki, but I always liked Topki because the boys were doing it, like watching.
Watching Topki is like the boys, you know? I don't really care about cars.
I think it's interesting mechanically how they work, but I like driving that nice car though.
Anyway, I went to... drove down from Athens to Money, drove all the way down to Multanastakiko.
What the fuck, that abandoned city is called because I always saw photos and stuff.
And it's completely abandoned. It's just rocks, man.
There's this quote by the English author, he's like, when God made the earth, he emptied all the extra rocks in Money, and it really does feel like that.
It's so depopulated. I thought, and actually, Kithara is depopulated, 3,000 people.
But I think it's like some entropy in Money. It's fucking empty, man.
And my friend Theo in Athens, he's like, dude, they're so sparsely populated, all the towns are so far apart because they all hate each other.
This is the land of Vendettas, man, and you can tell. It's in the air, dude.
They built all these towers up so the families across the street couldn't stab them in the street.
They had to defend themselves in their own houses, man. These are crazy people.
That's why the Independence War started there, which was cool to go to Areopoli to see where Mavro Michali started the wars, the Independence Wars in the 1770s and 80s, if I'm not wrong.
I bought a Nikkie Thanatos flag. That's going to be dope to put in my apartment.
And yeah, so that was really great. Spent time with my mum. That was good.
Went to Misenia, went to Misenia, and when I walked into the big sanctuary of Misenia, like a fucking lightning bolt almost struck me, a thunder went off.
They're like, knock these spartans again. So that was pretty fun.
We did olive oil tasting. That was really dope. Actually, I understand the different grades of olive oil.
What I kind of learnt was if you don't extra virgin olive oil from Greece, don't eat it.
It's just garbage olive oil. It's absolutely disgusting garbage. Forget about it, bro.
Uuu, brother uuu, like that's how bad. Even virgin olive oil. It's going to be extra virgin, bro. If you don't extra virgin olive oil from Calamata, Misenia, somewhere in the Peloponnese.
Uuu, brother uuu, please, don't. Like the other oils that they had, like even extra, even virgin olive oil, it's a bit lower in fat content, so it doesn't burn as much when you're cooking, like frying stuff.
But even then, bro, I want to use the best. Like please. The other oils are like the discarded remnants of like the olive oil process.
It's got to be extra virgin olive oil from Calamata, from Greece, from Misenia, somewhere in the Peloponnese. Or don't even use it, man.
I didn't even realise there were so many levels to it, but anything that ain't extra virgin olive oil is garbage.
Anyway, this is the last one. So we went to Misenia. I really want to buy a big farm in Misenia, facing the west, so I can see the sunset.
Just olive trees, little spittaki, very humble stoic little house. Just I want to view olive trees, mountains and the sea.
I'm not asking for too much, but I want it to be big. I love the Peloponnese. Very cool. I drove all the way down to Nafplio to drop my mum off.
She went to Githida and then I drove back to Athens. Saw some friends and jumped back on a plane to Barcelona.
So my name was Dope. I'll probably be back. I love Misenia. I am always in the other valley, in the Sparta Valley, Uratus Valley.
I'll be back there at the end of the year in November to the Sparta 5K race. But I like that other valley. It's much more fertile.
It's actually easier to get to, even though it's further away from Athens, it's easier to get to because it's just more highways.
I just did my 21K beast Spartan race, which was actually 25K and 1.8K elevation. I got it done at 6 hours and 22 minutes.
It's nothing special. I got terrible tonsillitis a few days before, so I don't even know how I finished it.
I remember while I was running it, I was like, I'm never running a long distance race again. This is terrible. I hate my life.
Then it took 24 hours for me to be like, that wasn't that hard. I can probably do something harder.
The next level for the Spartans, there's three races in the Spartan. 5, 10 and 21K. I've done them now.
You get a little piece of metal, three pieces of metal, you put them together, you did the trifecta.
But there is an ultra race, 50K.
And I shouldn't do it. But there's something in me that cannot listen and must do hard things.
So I'm thinking about it. If it's the right race, honestly, if it's not over mountains, I'll do a 50K beast, no problem.
But if it's over mountains like this one, it's like, that's double the distance plus whatever, 10K.
It's insanely hard. Well, actually, it should double the distance because my one was 25K.
But that's tough. And it's like 50, 60 obstacles.
But anyway, for right now, all the races that I have lined up right now, I only have one, the 5K race in Sparti, in November the 2nd, 5K.
It's not too hard. But I want to do it quickly. So I'll lose five more kilos, get my cardio off and go from there.
But that's that. That's all I'm up to now.
And I have to go for a run. I don't know if I talked about this, but I didn't talk about this.
But we are starting a run club in Greece and Cyprus.
And we have one in Athens. We have one in Thessaloniki, Larnaqa and Levkosia.
And we're all going to set it up. It's going to be slow, but we're starting a run club.
And I like the business idea. Got a good paper behind it. And we'll be going from there.
I will see you to the next episode of Green Glitch.
