Greetings Goldenmon, I have noticed that you have some epic helmets on your bookshelf
00:00:09.440
and I've also seen some truly glorious pictures of you wearing different historical helmets.
00:00:15.120
As someone who is considering to start collecting replicas of various historical helmets,
00:00:19.260
armors, swords, etc. may I ask where you have gotten your helmets from?
00:00:23.680
Now first and foremost, these you see in the epic pictures,
00:00:27.020
they were supplied by the photographers so they are not actually mine.
00:00:31.260
But the ones on the bookshelf I can link from the store where I bought them from in the comment section.
00:00:41.680
Also, do you have any personal favorites among helmets, etc. from history?
00:00:47.440
Some of my favorite helmets are the helmets found at Valsgärde and Germanby.
00:00:52.600
And among swords I personally find sabers to be an elegant weapon.
00:00:57.020
Thank you for your glorious work and thank you for your support.
00:01:01.080
I really like the Corinthian Hellenic helmets and I also like the Valsgärde Viking helmets.
00:01:10.800
So these two, obviously something I do not like and what I never ever want to see
00:01:16.200
is these typical Viking helmets with horns.
0.94
00:01:22.220
So that is absolutely blasphemous if anything.
0.97
00:01:26.900
But to answer the question in regards to helmets at least,
00:01:29.440
the Corinthian helms and also the Valsgärde style Nordic helms.
00:01:35.260
In regards to swords, etc. I don't have any particular preference there.
00:01:40.620
Obviously a massive claymore is always the Sostranus.
00:01:46.700
Great Lion of Sverige, it has been interesting of late to see how the issue of South American immigration
00:01:52.280
to the United States has been handled by Trump.
00:01:55.880
He has been good to his word on some things but not all.
00:01:59.180
How do you think he should handle the illegal caravan should it reach the border?
00:02:04.700
In light of the outrage leveled against his presidency.
00:02:07.680
Well, I've said a few things about Trump in the past and I say the same thing now.
00:02:13.800
He obviously has to contend with a lot of different factions within the United States.
00:02:18.760
So he might have a lot of power but he is not the only one in the United States that has a lot of power.
00:02:28.100
So even if he has promised a wall, it is still a very rocky road to actually getting said wall.
00:02:34.440
So obviously it can't come as a surprise to anyone who has an understanding of how the states in the West works.
00:02:42.240
The president and the people who elected him, they are not the ultimate rulers.
00:02:47.440
The ultimate rulers are the people behind the scenes.
00:02:50.200
And I'm not even talking about any particular ethnic group here.
00:02:53.900
I'm talking about many different interests, many different factions that are vying for control
00:03:00.000
and who are obviously looking out for their own interests.
00:03:03.300
So that is my take on Donald Trump and everything he does.
00:03:09.680
Hopefully he has given enough to at least the Israel lobby to be able to get some support in the native affairs, so to speak.
00:03:18.840
So anyway, I don't know if that was a good answer or not.
00:03:24.020
He is trying at least to make America great again.
00:03:32.840
And then obviously I don't endorse everything that he does.
00:03:35.200
But yet again, he isn't the sole ruler of America.
00:03:39.920
So, but anyway, I hope he gets the wall done at least.
00:03:44.900
I recently bought the Byzantine two-headed eagle t-shirt from Legi Gloria.
00:03:49.300
I was wondering, what does the Black Sun mean to you?
00:03:51.900
The Black Sun, in my view, and this can obviously be up for interpretation because it's such an ancient symbol.
00:03:59.680
But for me, it's a reawakening or enlightenment or rebirth.
00:04:06.800
And obviously, the Byzantine eagle stands for European unity.
00:04:09.900
So the connection of the Byzantine eagle with the Black Sun stands for both European unity and for enlightenment or revival or reawakening.
00:04:27.640
Who, in your humble view, is the most glorious based and high thumos Roman emperor of all time?
00:04:34.140
Not including Martin Septim, as he turned into a dragon god and that's hardly sporting.
00:04:39.680
So Martin Septim is an emperor in Oblivion, so the game before Skyrim.
00:04:46.980
And I would probably say Marcus Aurelius, just because of his reign, relatively peaceful.
00:04:54.140
And he was on the throne or in the position of emperor for quite some time.
00:05:00.120
And he wrote his meditations, which has to account for something.
00:05:04.580
He tried to live in accord with higher ideals, as should be done by someone who has the ultimate power.
00:05:10.840
So he tried to be the best possible man he could be.
00:05:15.140
And the meditations, that was notes to himself, actually.
00:05:19.460
So it wasn't really a guideline for others, it was a guideline for himself.
00:05:23.720
But I think it's really impressive that an emperor who is the most powerful human on earth still takes that responsibility.
00:05:31.200
That he needs to be accountable to something or someone, and that is his own guidelines.
00:05:36.900
So I would probably say Marcus Aurelius just because of that and based upon the reign of his empire.
00:05:46.160
After him there was a number of really bad emperors and that's obviously not something that can be admired.
00:05:57.980
I recently partially dislocated my shoulder while practicing wrestling.
00:06:02.700
I'm slowly getting back to weights, but it will take a few months until full recovery.
00:06:07.680
I'm currently focusing on light weights to avoid pain and high reps.
00:06:16.320
Do you have any training advice to give to any of your loyal legionaries who got injured during battle?
00:06:21.880
Any advice from you would be highly appreciated.
00:06:26.320
Well, basically what you are doing now is the correct way to go about it.
00:06:33.760
As soon as you feel even the slightest pain, just decrease the weights even more.
00:06:38.840
Focus fully on the range of motion, on contact with the muscles and just getting some blood flowing.
00:06:46.240
Keeping the body somewhat active until you recover.
00:06:49.700
So the basic rule here is to try to train, but as soon as you feel even the slightest discomfort, then lower the weight.
00:07:00.480
And also you can do a lot of walking as well if you want to get some sort of lighter cardio in.
00:07:05.480
So put in a podcast, go for a walk of about 45 minutes or something like that.
00:07:12.940
So, but anyway, to conclude the answer there, just continue as you're doing.
