June 30, 2017 Episode 33: Imperator Augustus
They don't call him Otto the Great because of his standing crust pie recipe if you catch my meaning, although it was legendary. There is a reason Adelheid liked him so much. Pro tip fellas, learn to make a good meat pie and you will never be lonely. because even if it doesn't work out, you will have pie. And really, what has a lady done for you lately that was as good as a pie? In my case the answer is "finally got the baby to sleep" but I am sure some of you don't have ladies as awesome as Di in your life. She is better than pie. Anyway, Otto deposes a pope and becomes a legend. Just listen, OK?
