Yesterday one of my pals was trying really hard to explain why buying dog food while in college to eat instead of actual food would be really smart
Warren Buffett. He has $80 billion and still lives in a house he purchased in the 1958 for $35k which is now worth 600k. Nice house, but not even remotely proportional to his wealth. Calling him a cheapskate would be unfair. He is just very frugal and unpretentious. He'd rather spend money on philanthropy and reinvestment.

"Whatever, that's drip!" I can't believe this history teacher is more modern than I am.
Same
Not too surprising, since he interacts with zoomers for a living. Some of it is bound to rub off on him
He's also not _that_ old in the first place
Are you the fedora kid?
@@georgiykireev9678 "zoomers" 😐
Mr. Terry's humor has been getting pretty dank with each Sam O'nella vid. You love to see it.
Really love how he's developed since he started the "react" series of videos
I thought you said dark for a second and was worried
Dank? that word brings me back
I wonder if Daniel Dancer’s head would explode, if he experienced Black Friday.
@Oliver Vanderslice those names
🎵Hold me closer, Daniel dancer🎵
Dan the dancer
Underrated
I don't understand how I missed the killers reference watching the original sam o'nella video. But I guess I did.
Made me laugh to hard
Lay me down in sheets of patched up rags that smells like a stray cat and 7 diseased rats.
My dad used to drive 50 miles across the state line to save $0.10/gal on gas, then burn up 2-3 times what he saved driving back. I guess like you said, some people get a rush from scoring a deal LOL
Not sure of the exact countries but I know someone who's uncle lived near a border and would drive to the neighbouring country to buy stuff because he thought the exchanged money being a lower number would make it cheaper. He would not listen to anyone who told him otherwise
Mr. Terry, Mythbusters has proven that running the AC and having the windows down have basically the same effect on wasting gasoline. The increased drag from having the windows down also makes the engine work harder to maintain speed
Depends some SUVs have a rolling black glass and trucks with a sliding back glass would reduce the drag

Mr Terry reacting to Sam Onella is how I manage to stay sane while waiting for new Sam onella videos.
well winter's come for Sam o'nella vids prepare the wait
Oh boy it's here
well!!
3:48 one time my cousin asked my great grandma how she had such a small waist and my nanny responds with and I shit you not, THE GREAT DEPRESSION
😭 what a savage response.
Venzuela is like the second option here
I subbed because I almost aspire to be like this history teacher, and I want to see his perspective on history videos I've binged since forever. You're an inspiration, Mr. Terry!
Thats wholesome
Same!
What's some good accurate objective vids?
That laugh when the fedora kid came up
We all know THAT kid
the way he said "thats drip" is so good.
My grandma was born in 1922. I wouldn't say she was cheap, but her parents instilled in her if there was food on your plate you eat it. She instilled that in my father and him in me. It's funny, because I'll say I'm full and keep eating, and my mom will be like stop and I'll be like but there's still food
My grandfather (mother’s side) was born in 1928 and exactly the same way!. He would even take it up a notch by giving me more when I was done eating. Even when I was bursting I never said anything because I didn’t wanted to be rude and knew from his many stories that he knows what it’s like to have next to nothing. It wasn’t until later that my grandmother and mother sat us both down that I finally said No when I was full, but always tell him “thank you” when he offered. Grandparents are still here today and they’re amazing 🖤
Technically you can dive into solid metal like it was liquid but you'd have to be
1)Uranium or tungsten level dense
2)be shaped like a flag pole
3)Move at hypersonic speed.
So what you're saying is its possible.
Yeah learning that money itself doesn't have any value but the things you own do it's a nice lesson.
I think you missed part of the linoleum joke. That linoleum won't be invented for a century was a reference to actual linoleum flooring invented in 1860. Sam stepped it up a bit and had an unrelated history fact being tossed out as a joke. 10/10 would watch again.
The fedora kid in our class was the everything kid. Fedora, magic tricks, pen spinning, knives and weed. I think the only thing missing was sports
My great-grandmother raised her two sons before the Great Depression but she had been a homesteader (and necessarily frugal) beforehand. Until she was hospitalized for a massive stroke in 1983 she kept up her garden, a small orchard, chickens, and rabbits to minimize what she'd need to buy. Her cellar was full of home canning, dry goods, and preserved meats - if the worst happened, she could probably have lived her life as usual for most of a decade. (I've seen small grocery stores with less inventory than what she kept on hand.)
My grandparents (also who raised me) were married in 1927 and raised five kids through the Great Depression. They always kept two refrigerators, three pantries, and a large chest freezer stocked. Fridge #1 was for daily use; fridge #2 was 'staging' - either overflow from fridge #1 (say, eggs were on sale so my grandmother bought an extra 3-4 dozen) or stuff from the freezer she expected to use in the next week or two; pantry #1 was all canned goods; pantry #2 was all dry goods; pantry #3 was stuff like cooking spray, foil, cleaning supplies, etc; the freezer was restocked anytime meat or frozen vegetables were on sale. She also bought dishes, towels, tablecloths, and the like from restaurant suppliers' end stocks - super-high-end stuff, but dirt-cheap because their inventory for any specific item was too small to interest commercial buyers.
My grandfather could build and/or repair virtually anything and wasted nothing. He built a carousel from my old baby food jars to store nuts, washers, and small nails; saved coffee cans for larger bolts and nails; salvaged a few old oil drums to store assorted metal stock; made and repaired his own fishing nets; kept tools and supplies on-hand to resole his boots and shoes; etc. When the family camper (a 1951 Thames Freighter with a pop-up) blew the engine, he bought a 1953 Ford Falcon for parts - swapped the engine and transmission; built a custom driveshaft (because the 'new' powertain was longer); rebuilt the differential (because the 'new' powertrain turned the opposite direction); taught me how to work on cars by rebuilding the leftover parts back into a working car; used the Falcon's front spindles and body panels, and his supply of metal stock, to build a new trailer and then hauled the remaining parts out to the old family homestead to bury in the ground to stop a gully from eroding further.
Tail end of summer vacation was marked by getting together with all my cousins to see what clothes fit whom (aside from skirts and dresses, with no concern for gender - my cousin Steve wasn't thrilled to wind up with pink jeans and a yellow tee with a "Juicy!" iron-on).
To this day, I still cringe at throwing out anything which still has potential use. I've been a big proponent of "freecycling" - if there's something I absolutely don't need but it's still in good condition, I'll find someone who needs it to give it to. I only have a small upright freezer and a single fridge, but I regularly target sales to keep at least two month's supply of food on-hand. When I was a 'den mother', the guys were amazed that I cut their food bills by 70% while still buying more and better food than they were accustomed to. A former fiancé was astonished that the 'amount saved' on my regular shopping trips was usually larger than the amount I actually spent. I even spent $4700 on a kitchen remodel that included high-end appliances, custom oak cabinets, and top-of-the-line granite countertops that ended up adding nearly $28,000 to the appraised value.
Nowadays, however, I think the biggest factor is the prices we grew up with. I'd been driving more than a decade before gas prices topped $1/gallon; candy bars and comic books were a quarter, as were store-brand canned veggies; etc. Though I've adjusted some, I've still got this 'inventory' in the back of my mind for what most things should cost - if a price seems too high, I'll find some way to manage without (if that's not an option, I'll figure out a way to make it stretch as far as possible).
God, I really was the fedora kid in school. It was like a decade ago, before the fedora became a wide-spread meme, and I stopped wearing it before it did. I just liked how the hat looked, but I guess I was still "that guy".
Pinching penny's effects are common in my family towards food our recipes are designed to last week's
How many months does Thanksgiving last in your house?
Meal preping and proper food planning are THE best ways to save money AND the planet. 10/10 i approve of your family.
@@eddiedingle767 depends how many of us make a habit of using the leftovers usually 2 weeks for me and mom to eat the left over ham (we have it instead of turkey) and mashed potatoes I usually have it 3 days a week for dinner
Been waiting for this one. I subbed to your channel for the sam o'nella content, keep it up!
Same dude
I do like the rest of his stuff tho
Will do.
But eventually he will run out
@@Crash5555 I agree, he should go over all of them and correct beauty mistakes or give context
"that's drip" lol
Depending on the car, on average 55mph is when you want to roll up the windows and turn on the AC. Unless your AC makes your car overheat like mine lol
Mr Terry ur the best history teacher I've ever had plz dont ever stop posting
now you just need an English teacher
@@SIENEKEFTWLOL Adapt to slang or get left behind. And if you you think this is a clever comment, I neither have the time nor the crayons to explain that it isn't.
@@Ray-od2kb use a pen you uncultured swine,
@@the4tierbridge no he'll chew on it and get it all nasty and he could break the ink holder and get it every where plus the crayons are non toxic and easier to clean up, it may be uncultured but it's better for the interior decor
@@Ray-od2kb use a pencil you slightly less uncultured swine.
12:35 Good to know I'm not the only one confused by the kid pulling the knife on the cat 😅😅
Just an average 14 yr old
As a fellow historian (and coin collector) I just want to correct something Mr. Terry said.
Actually at this time currency DID have intrinsic value.
Keep in mind this was the era of the gold standard.
A £5 quintuple sovereign coin back then was over 1 troy oz of gold.
Gold did indeed and still does have intrinsic value.
I love Mr. Terry because, unlike a lot of react channels, he is qualified and actually weighs in on a lot of the subject matter in meaningful ways. Like I actually learn stuff from this channel. Keep doing what you do, Mr. T, hopefully you’ll actually be able to be back in a classroom this fall!
ALSO, Mr. T is a NOFX fan?? Instant respect points right there 🤘
Grenades were a thing back in Colonial times with the grenadiers but the arming process was slow and the explosives were quite heavy consisting of a cast iron ball and some explosive inside (such as black powder) so the use of grenadiers is usually used as an extension of infantry and musket fodder
I don't know if someone said this before but what Daniel was growing on his manor before he died was hay. He fired everybody that was working for his family and just did all the work himself.
You saying that he has drip makes me extremely happy
I once had a friend who's mom was one of those people who used a fuckton of coupons to buy like $100 worth of food for $20 or less. His garage was full of cereal, soda, candy, etc
6:05 Extra Credits actually has an entire series on the history of paper money. It's pretty good.
You spend more gas driving with the windows once you exceed 50mph due to drag.
Is the drag thing legit? We need the Mythbusters
The talk about the shift of currency made me think of Terry Pratchett's Discworld book, "Making Money" ( the 2nd in the Moist von Lipwig story arc) where they're trying to revitalise the bank and shift the currency in the city of Anhk Morpork from gold standard to paper currency.
Also lmao at Mr. Terry's narrow eyed look of scrutiny when asked "are you the fedora kid?" 😹💀
Bruhhh I was just rewatching your Sam o Nella reactions how perfect 😂
My Grandparents refused to save leftovers when we'd go to a restaurant. They insisted on eating everything, and saving none for later. Allegedly, this behaviour was learned from the Great Depression. It makes no sense to me.
Anyone else still miss him?
Hes gonna come back apparently, he posted on his reddit asking for video ideas
That was almost a month ago...
he died of *salmonella*
@@Alice_Bedlam i know but this stuff probably takes time or maybe im just too hopeful lol
@@abdallanassar9124 from what I heard, be might be still busy around college. So it might take a while.
My favorite part of all of this is his baths were 100% free but he still took them sparingly
Glad I found this channel! Great stuff!
£300 per year was an insane amount back then.
It’s the equivalent of $700,000 per year today!
As a punk, the NOFX reference made me smile :)
Back then money was still backed by gold so yes, it did have intrinsic value.
Mr.Terry I hope your channel grows way more because you have great content
Funny side note....I'm pretty sure scrooge mcduck was the only one who could swim in his gold even in the cartoon canon
he really said "o7" for the dog lmaooo
I usually hate reaction videos. However, the ones here I keep finding myself coming to. There's actual content that's added from Mr. Terry here be that in other unknown knowledge of the time not in the original videos or that he fully says "I ACTUALLY didn't know that" and explains on why it's wild to him.
Count me in on the Subscriber base. Keep up the good reaction videos and we can weed out the weak ones that just steal content outright. There's even enough respect for other creators videos as he let's their sponsor ads run their course. Something MANY other reaction channels just skip over to get to the good bits.
Keep up the good work Mr. Terry.
I laughed more when he said “skillshare, learn how to do stuff”
Respect for watching the ad instead of skipping
Imagine your history teacher talking about a family guy episode.
My grandma kept everything, containers food came in, rubber bands packaged around produce, the little plastic clips on plastic bread bags, etc etc. This is beacuse she grew up in World War 2 here in Norway, and due to rationing alot of basic things were harder to come by, hence she always hated throwing things out. I mean I have taken some of her ideas since they are just smart in general, but I never once saw her use one of those bread bag clippy things, what did she thing she needed them for? Maybe for storing bread, but that would already come with a new clip on the bag, and I dont mean she had 10-15, no sir she must have had atleast 200 of those things, and not once did I ever see her use one for anything.
Why is it that every time I hear Sam's intro music I want to go and rewatch Fawlty Towers?
13:10 pain that only the eyes of a teacher who has seen it to many times can convey
Hey caught at 13 seconds, great stuff keep up the good work.
Funilly enough my great grandma lived through the great depression(she was born 1926) and she spent money on literal nonsense just cause she could. I mean she could afford it cause she saved so much but my god every time I went to visit her its like a whole new house >.> but one thing she didnt spend money on was a car. She never drove and took public transport everywhere so i guess she saved a lot that way. I was told her husband though my great grandfather was very frugal never met him sadly he died a month before i was born.
I love your/the samonella videos keep it up! It sucks he hasn’t posted in a while though
Love this episode for the appreciation of NOFX!! ❤
hot take: there's very few people who can pull off a fedora, but they exist
Oh I definitely know such bargainers. I see them every week on subway. A pack of grannies that buys stuff outside of town at 7am, wastes an hour getting to downtown market and sells it at a little higher price.
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness." - Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms: The Play
fast fashion
what i like about this channel rather than other reaction channels is that you actually add things to the video instead of just forcing laughter at the jokes and farming views on a more successful video
All I know is you can't take a single dime with you when you die.
You ever just buy arcade cabinets

We had a fedora squad at my school. R.I.P. class of 2020.
A whole squad? That's precious
Scrooge Mcduck’s penny pinching is probably the only thing preventing the economy from collapsing. Given that he has enough money to fill a vast concrete vault, and swim around in the gold, it would appear that the economy had been suffering from intense inflation
Lav Luka reacts to Sam O'Nella then Mr. Terry? Today is good.
Hello fellow Lav Luka viewer 😂
Hello my dudes
my parents got some tropical fishes but they all died one winter because they didnt want to turn on the heater to save money.
o7 for bob he will be missed but never forgotten
I don't know how practical it would be, but it would be awesome to see a video on some historic figures in science like Nikola tesla or someone like that.
Mr. Tesla seems like a cool dude.

15:19 my high school actually did have a mandatory personal finance class
If you mentioned it, history of paper money is a great series by Extra Credits
Good idea.
I'm not the fedora kid but I do wear a flat cap
I love that Dancer is wearing the same thing Mr. Krabs wears when he was a child
mr terry: duck tales me in my head: UH WOO HOO
If I had him as a history teacher I would be happy to learn about the Manhattan project
Is that a smash game going on in the background?
Nah. Just my NBA Jam and TMNT arcade cabs.
love the jazz shirt
My new second favorite CZcamsr under Sam
well i came from a family wwhere we struggled to even have enough to put food on the table so now i pretty much save everything i earn, if its not broken it doesnt need change, i havent bought clothes in over 6 years, i never go out for dinner,never been inside a starbucks, never tried mac donalds i have a drivers license but i avoid driving unless its really far out and i cant get public transportation for cheaper, it served me well by the time i was 25 i had a fully paid house that i built the way i wanted with enough land that i raise my own animals for meat and produce aswell, and because of the land laws of where im from i only pay 200 euros a year in land tax
5:45 - Your namesake Terry Pratchett even wrote a book about that fact :)
we were actually a group of 5 fedora "kids" in school.
Him: are you the fedora kid at school?
Me: yes.
I pretty sure there isn't a fedora kid in our school, but I'm pretty sure there's a furry. Which is worse.
About scrooge mc duck swimming in money. it is actually canon, that in the duck universe it is impossible to swim in money for the obvious reasons. Scrooge mc duck is the only person who can do this.
I like how he uses the example of not using the air conditioning which saves money as something a little cheapstaky when it could just be you’re trying to preserve the environment 🤷♂️idk
"Are you the fedora kid?" *eyes suspiciously *
I was a fedora kid for all of two days. Thankfully it only took me two days to figure out how lame it was.
Donning a fedora?
Just thought I would put in. My great grandmother is still alive and she was born in 1925. Being born in 1999 I feel very lucky to have what feels like a living history book.
Never stop asking her for stories.
React to extra history's history of paper money. Its not very difficult to understand but it goes in depth as you would expect from them.
whenever i see mr.terry uploads a new vid, i click immediately!
Same here! ☺️😊
3:19
Well that explains the habits of my mom and grandma
Would saying that I remember minimum wage being $2.75 - $3.25 an hour make me sound old? Cause I remember when gas was 79 cents a gallon, $10 bucks got you a pack of smokes and 4-6 gallons of gas back then.
Edit* today that same $10 get either 2 1/2 gallons of gas or a pack of smokes.
Wait wait Mr Terry likes NOFX?? Hellll yeah!
12:19-I don't have a hat,so i guess i am even more of a cheapstake than Daniel!
My dad is like that
Damn Daniel, rocking that London city swag.
I like the new format where you talk at the end. I thought maybe you were going to do a little more research and talk about it more in depth. Are you doing that part live and with the chat?
I little cold if I don’t get sick from the cold it’s too hot
