When you're staying at an Airbnb you might be like me wondering could my
place be an Airbnb and if it could what could it earn? You could be sitting on
an Airbnb and not even know it. That in-law sweet guest house where your
parents stay only part-time Airbnb it and make some money the rest of the year
whether you could use a little extra money to cover some bills or for
something a little more fun your home might be worth more than you think. Find
out how much at airbnb.ca I mean the names from here

Welsh some of my best friends are whales okay thank you thank you guys for
respecting the name it is Welsh and I've been for ages and they shut up for a
little while here but if I for ages now I've been trying to spread the word of
this name and for some reason it keeps getting lost in translation all over the
world really and I it took a while and I finally was able to pinpoint can we get
Mike one off I was finally able to pinpoint what happened and you see
Dave a huge asshole a few years ago just started calling me Gary and it is a

weird yeah much like the room right now that's how I feel the depressive nature
of reality we're fine yeah we live on an island yeah yeah yeah yeah you're
listening to the dollop
this is a bisexual American history podcast sometimes wash or each week I
read a story from Welsh slash American history to my friend Gareth Reynolds who
has no idea what the topic is going to be about
March 4th 1800 year of our Lord Jesus Christ
William Price no one he's here tonight one hey Billy no one we'll see how the
names go I I've got a bad feeling by the way if you're worried about the names
there were some that I just took out because number one crazy but then number
two but none of their none of their vowels make the same sounds as our
vowels none of their like W's or O's and fucking D's or just all this fucking
there's a bunch of I wanted to put in it like phonetically like and then a cat
hisses yeah I understand the move to remove them then so yeah some I took
about because I couldn't even find online because I'm you can find online the
pronunciations are everything but it yeah that's just when you're like the
translation it's like I'm not going to do that what I'm going to leave wait
where are you going well some of them like some of their words are like my
CHY DRY and the pronunciation would be like my durr fighter that's wrong I
know that's wrong and fuck you and the computer is gonna make an asshole out
of me get one of those like getting rid of this fucking word you need to get one
of those big like UN earpieces like where it's just like am I a part of our
wall thank you and anyway you know that thing that Trump didn't use when he was
nodding remember that like two years ago like nodding as someone was like
speaking Chinese he's like exactly what he just said in Mandarin is perfect
it's gonna be shame when he dies so really it's gonna be a real big shame
when he dies like you mean explodes explodes when he pops I've yeah I have
party hats yeah just waiting William Price was born on a farm in a Monmouth
sure he had three alive older sisters so just I'm just the other nine dead
siblings that were used to I didn't I didn't count the dead ones the nine who
passed there were other ones that didn't obviously yeah his father also William
Price was an educated priest of the Church of England okay his mother Mary
Edmonds had been a mate servant before marriage and was illiterate okay she
couldn't even sign her name okay I mean we don't need to disparage her well she
also probably was trying to sign it in Welsh which is no gimme when they got
married it was controversial because Mary was of a very much lower class right
then William and we all know how the nerve you people yes whatever you're
born until you stick into that's what we've said do not go up out of your class
yeah how dare you animal come on William's father had been and had an
undiagnosed mental illness and became more erratic with each passing year okay
for instance he would bathe fully clothed or naked in local ponds now see
you swap those makes total sense if you're going in the pond fully clothed I
get that and bathing naked sure but you can't get in the pond nude and bathe in
your clothes sometimes he would wear just a hat that I get yep I'm born again
for sure that I get it's cold if he bathed naked then when he was done he
would drop his clothes in the water after and then wear them around soaking
wet you know I tried to stick with him I really was trying to give him a benefit
of the doubt but I'm what I'm hearing is not okay he kept grass snakes in his
pockets okay they probably didn't like his bathing habits he carried them
around until he could hide them in stones at his ancestors tombs I feel
like this has been diagnosed okay so yeah just a guy in wet clothes the snakes
in his pockets that he's tossing in tombs he would walk around with a saw and
use it to remove bark from trees mm-hmm often going into other people's yards to
do so sure yeah oh god the naked man with the hat and the snakes in his hands
here what's he doing he's taking our bark again
trust that then he would burn the bark while muttering swear words you know
what Dave I'll let you finish about him and then we can sort of recap it and look
back and he spit on stones believing it improved their value well that's that's
been proven that has been courts his behavior eventually became violent and
a threat to locals one time he shot a gun at a woman who said he was taking sticks
from her hedge another time he threw a spear at a man
yeah yeah okay sure you definitely say he had some sort of mental illness yeah
no yeah no I definitely that feels pretty close in 1814 authorities went to
court to prove he was insane and where the was that over pretty quickly your
honor I'd like to show you some snakes no need this is yes go with him go with
that gentleman to two servants testified that he quote carried his own
excrement excrement around in his pockets well the snakes need burnt burned
burned it on the fire and rubbed it on his head and the walls saying it was
paint well so he kind of viewed it as a remodel he was often quote running in
the field just in his shirt or naked he was declared insane alright finally we
did have lucid periods okay his kids were scared of him because he was
painting the home and poo yeah well your dad comes home with shit on his head
yeah all right I'm gonna go to the bath of my clothes on hold my snakes will you
boy hey I got some good bark today too by the way I threw a spear through a man
earlier how was your day your kids learned at school you want some poo for
your hands all right tell your mom I said hi haven't seen her in a couple
weeks they spoke Welsh at home it was a bit of a mystical area they were near
the ruined walls of cost a year a fun a little ways off for the mysterious mounds
on a man of maca to be expected as long as they just know slightly what I'm
talking about yeah that's fine I think 50% gets us there there were also iron
works and mines and in industrialization was very present in the area so young
William learned English when he went to school at 10 he only attended for three
years and passed his exams exams sure quote William displayed unusual
brilliance for one so young that quotes from Dean Powell's biography and when
price which pretty much all quotes will come from unless I say otherwise after
school he lived at home for six months sure you know he's 13 13 yeah yes yeah
honestly the troubling part of that is the time he was apparently influenced
by his father because he started wandering the hills walking 10 or so miles
a day sometimes naked if you're the mother you're like it's genetic here we
go William was scolded and threatened by locals but he'd do the same thing the
next day okay so you'd like to be naked sure just like pop yep he wanted to be
a doctor need a lab coat he moved to car fully in eight car Philly as close in
1814 that man not accepting your compliment of yourself I was close no
really he moved to car Philly in 1814 he landed an apprentice gig with a very
successful surgeon okay Evan Edwards just before he was 14 okay wow so he's a
real doogie howser yeah eight wow did people actually get that that that show
travel Dave yeah it's people like the underwhelming reaction was not because
of location William was able to pay his tuition with money different family
members sent him his uncle was also Reverend and he advised William to stop
learning to become a doctor because it was putting financial strain on the
family it's a different time yep others in the family wanted to stop also but
William refused to quit and sought charity to get through the apprenticeship
that helped that his father had been declared a lunatic to get charity it
helped him get money because of his father's situation okay right yeah during
this time he saw the diseases and sicknesses that were abundant in Wales
death rates were high diseases were endemic and the poor lived with terrible
sanitation in crowded areas so this is 2019 this is Los Angeles County 2019
LA some people just lived in alleys sure I mean that probably there would be a
time when you would tell me this part and I'm like man so crazy yeah but that's
we live in a place where how many what percentage of our population think the
homeless should be arrested 67% 67% of people in Los Angeles County believe
that the homeless people should be arrested we're excited to go home yeah
liberals it's cool when the liberals are fast yeah when the liberals are like
come on I mean what is our other option look at them trying to survive how dare
they the nerve why can't I burn one so he saw how the poor suffered more than
others his apprenticeship ended in 1820 and he moved to London to continue his
medical education and he's what 15 yeah something like that great he saw more
suffering immigrants fleeing wars packed in attendance there were open sewers
people lived on the edge of starvation diseases everywhere so he learned from
the best medical men at the time quote I passed the college and the hall in 12
months after I went to London a thing never done by anyone before okay so he's
a smarty pants yeah and he lets you know it yep William became a member of the
Royal College of Surgeons of England at 21 he added their offers but he loved
whales and returned to set up a medical practice in Glintaf yeah that shut you
up didn't it yeah curfew Lee yeah he went he met he met William
Khrashi Khrashi she of the very well they're still wealthy people I think that
guy just wanted to say yeah yeah that's just a name that could be anyway he's
like yeah yeah he's a friend of mine they on the artworks at mether and at
Travorist met her mirthur mirthur guys this is gonna be a long show okay go feed
the meter or whatever you have here in June 1823 he was appointed that you're
leaving already yeah that guy's like a fuck this he doesn't know how to say
car filling I'm out of here fucking butchering our language yeah see a
Welsh exit a wags it go away in June 1823 he was appointed the new surgeon to
the crochets and at the forest divorced he was now set up to live a life of
luxury right yeah of course doctor great but after all the suffering he's seen
he was interested in helping the working classes now I think someone's
inherited their father's insanity quote I regard as entirely the fault of their
employers who give them far less attendance and care than they bestow
on cattle oh boy so we're meeting a hero tonight he charged the rich way more
than the poor and use that money to give the poor medical care so it's he's like
an early early version of he's the early version of universal health care yeah
right which by the way I think it's mad well it's I mean because that guy
understands that we're just trying to build on Obamacare which really yeah
fuck William preached vegetarianism clean living exercise and eating good
food wow he thought smoking was bad for you what back then the people like sir
haha whoo I need to lay down long awkward sip he he refused to see any
patient who smoked he refused to see them yeah only only lying in the sand he
believed that medical care should be a basic right for everyone and doctors
should look at symptoms poor lifestyles and the effects of industrialization
well he moved to the newly industrialized the Daff Valley where
labor's elected him chief surgeon at the Brown Lennox chain works he rented a
house and spent quite a bit of time in Tavoris which was quote a revolutionary
town a revolutionary town yeah revolutionaries what do you mean is it
not now is it like posh is it oh it was considered like like-minded folk like
him you mean revolution yeah right and now it's good where the rich live is
what we're saying no it's not it's where did you say it has a cinema that's
about it that's pretty regular doesn't every town have a cinema for the most
part no okay sorry oh you guys oh okay you guys don't have movies yeah they're
like we just got Rain Man it's so it looks really good and our new hit show
doogie Hauser has just been tearing ratings up they only show doogie at the
cinema here oh the doogie the movie yeah look who comes crawling back
people traveled very far to get treatment from William sure and quote
with his aristocratic look sparkling eyes and strikingly handsome physique as
refined as a lady in fall matters pertaining to his profession he was
idolized by his female patients yeah you lost me a little in the middle there
but basically like the female pan patients are like swooning over they
weren't fucking right okay right right so he's probably like the female
smoking rate has dropped dramatically that's right hello hi is that what a
woman sounds like yes all right fine it's me Ted I'm still smoking I needed to
get an appointment but I will bang you he did not dress like other people in
Wales at the time he refused to wear socks saying quote stockings prevent
the proper exhalation of the feet which in consequence are kept damp and the
person who wears them is more liable to catch cold my feet are always dry and
warm I like this philosophy I'm on board with that yeah yeah I would I don't know
so you think that you your feet are kept dry and warm and not part of the whole
thing but I'm definitely I'm down to lose the socks more than okay it just seems
like you're walking around and wet all the time though well I mean here that's
regular walking if someone gave him coins he would wash them before he put
them in his pocket hmm well that's probably because he was used to wearing
his dad's pants which had poo in them he was terrible with money it was always in
debt he's too busy washing it in 1831 he was listed in the court for relief of
insolvent debtors in Cardiff oh wow at the time workers were fighting against
the brutality of industrialization and William started listening to left-wing
ideas okay dangerous with the workers there he helped found the first co-op to
help workers Lord the Martha rising
occurred in 1831 yeah yeah workers are fighting for against sorry against
lowering wages and the firings and long terrible if they were fighting for it
what do we want shit pay when we want it immediately wait what are we doing
men women and children worked 14-hour days Jesus it's like Hollywood after
employers refused their demands the workers stormed the town they burned
debt records and attacked an inware an employer meeting took place soldiers
open fire many died hundreds are injured the workers to control the city for eight
days and family troops came in and put that down mm-hmm this had a profound
effect on William he was a proud Welsh nationalist he became more interested in
Welsh culture including the neo druidic movement hmm walk me through it daddy
druidism was making a comeback okay and it wasn't just Wales but throughout the
British Isles in large cities grand lodges of the ancient order of druids
were created to worship and celebrate druids okay so it's yeah it's having a
renaissance which is nice yeah yeah William became one of the many in the
growing neo druid movement it's a really catchy name to neo druid yeah yeah it
sounds it sounds like it's right wing yeah yeah he was invited to give a
speech on Welsh history and literature at the Royal I stood foot in 1834 that's
literally what it said on the computer that's what the computer said no I
stood I mean I gotta be honest it's like if English fuck German and then they
yell at you something you think you said that's the German part that's why it's
German I said I stand foot no I said foot what I said foot in 1834 and I said
foot is a competition competitive music festival of music and poetry you know
competitive poetry yeah yeah love competitive oh my god it's the fucking
best that's he did I love a round robin of yeah oh fuck yeah nothing quite like
it yeah in Welsh oh yeah in Welsh too yeah so you're like what is happening
or in druid right right yeah because in this quarter because of that speech he
was invited to be a judge at the I said a foot bar Bartek just let it go Bartek
competition I'm sorry where was it the ice at first Bartek competition Bartek
Bartek competition Bartek okay Bartek sure
I haven't said anything for 25 minutes the top prize went to tally Eson
Williams son of famous Welsh nationalist and druid yellow Morgan
who tally Eson won for his translation of the Welsh owed on the British druids
boy this is barn burner I mean honestly just the time when yeah honestly
imagine if you dropped an iPhone in this era what the fuck William joined the
Society of the Rocking Stone a group of neo druids who met at the Stone Circle in
Ponte Prif also a great Rolling Stones cover band yeah that one by the way
looks nothing like it sounds as opposed to the others this one fair
totally fair we normally ask people to shut the fuck up but that was okay we're
and this is the only country I'm gonna allow it because you're because we know
you're right for sure he rose up the druid ranks very quickly wow rose up the
druid right it feels like Starfleet captain by 1837 he was one of the neo
druid leaders so where's so this is sticking he's a neo druid but he was in
unique even amongst his fellow druids having his own beliefs which was easy
to do because no one really knew shit about druids yeah neo druids were making
it up as they went along right so yeah because he had his own beliefs tension
grew between his druid faction and other druid factions that it's just like when
like religions argue about this but you're like but you don't know it's like
yeah but you can't have pork he said so religious room yep you can have for it
just yeah yeah you're in well you're in Wales it's the heart of is is long yeah
this is where ice is this right it's pronounced yeah William had been most
influenced by druid Edward Williams who went by the bardic name a yellow Morgan
who I already talked about he claimed to have tons of druid documents and pass
them off as ancient druidism so I mean he found on this is like Joseph Smith right
this is like the golden plates you know I actually found a bunch of notes from
the druids I'm the lucky one and they said I'm in charge it took scholars over
a hundred years to prove that it was all lies right yeah no time anyone like
finds the thing that it's just not that's never no one in Welsh history has
more historical forgeries William feared the Welsh language was dying out as
English spread which was one reason he latched on to yellows beliefs just think
about how much easier your night would be if that had happened yeah he screwed
you bro the Welsh road dispossessed people and we're seeking a respectable
place in the British world William became obsessed with druidism he gave
lessons in Welsh every Sunday trying to revive Welsh culture in 1838 he called
for the Society of the Rockingstone to raise funds for a druid museum okay a
drusium he wanted to build a hundred foot tall tower it would cost about a
thousand pounds mm-hmm William was backed by Francis crochet of the
crochets sure who were also super to druidism okay so they're really rich and
some of the kids are getting into it yeah need a hobby yeah but the druid
museum didn't get enough support and William was furious sure he wrote a
piece for the local paper scolding people for ignoring quote your immortal
progenators to whom you owe your very existence as a civilized people okay so
the Welsh aren't on board he's bumming yeah he was trying to establish himself
as the all-knowing leader of Druids quite a goal William also became a known
figure in the local chartist movement chartism was a national working class
populist movement fighting against injustices of the new industrial and
political order in Britain they called for every man to have the right to vote
regardless of their social standing right which is yeah or shit not women not
women not women ladies let's not get some it's not get crazy yeah let's not my
god look man they go down we let one woman for run for president yeah we
haven't we haven't healed yet yeah obviously that's what equality was back
then we want the for every person should have the same rights as long as they
have a penis yes William was outspoken and very soon became a chartist leader
his Welsh language classes started getting broken up by police who thought
it was cover for weapons training well they were probably like what I'm I'm
looking at what he's reading and that is not what he's saying it's no way that's
a word yeah yeah where the guns yeah on Monday the 4th of November 1839 the new
port rising took place William did not go to the March nor did his followers
even though he had bought seven pieces of artillery for the assault wait wait
wait so the cops were right yes cops were totally right okay I have for a
minute I was like man cops just don't get there just jerk off he was getting
weapons yeah but instead he is actually creating an arsenal yeah okay but he
didn't go that day because he was suspicious of another leader John Frost
and thought it would end in disaster and he was right the charters were crushed
by soldiers around 22 were killed leaders were convicted of treason and
sentenced to be hanged drawn and quartered Jesus well let's the sentence
were later commuted to transportation oh well that's that's fine yeah
transportation was when they put you on a boat send you off to America or Australia
way better yeah I mean not now not now now that now you'd rather be drawn
and quartered until you take a test straight and try to pick up a stick and it kills you yeah yes so
now William was in danger the ports were closed as authorities look for him
and he fled and made his way onto a boat dressed as a woman yes great he
actually asked one of the guys looking for him for directions yes what are you
looking for well my lady I was glad to show you in person if that would be all
right yes gets lonely constantly searching for people sometimes I'm not
only searching for criminals but for a soulmate you've got a serpent's tongue
and I like that take my arm I'll show you where you're going I'm looking for a
prick right now named William you like that I'm law enforcement I can tell you'll
be cops are fascist well get over here you so he went to Paris and lived in
temporary exile it's still as the woman obviously no we don't know he dropped the
outfit okay I thought it's gonna be a whole new wrinkle there he became friends
with a captain Phelps and then he became close with Phelps daughter she was 16
he was 39 sorry can we get the beers out of the bucket so daddy can barf in it
okay quote unfortunately the relationship with Phelps ended when price
enjoyed taking the girl to the country undressing her and cresting her nude
body it's France wait so that that's when the relationship ended yeah okay now
with the captain oh right that's when the cat right because of that that adds up
yep he frowned upon what William was doing to his 16-year-old daughter yeah
cresting her nude body right right field right supposed to do that in the house
or it at Jeffrey Epstein's guys he killed himself get over it enough enough
conspiratorial thinking pretty obvious while he was in France he went to the
aloof museum and had what has been described as a quote turning point in
his religious life oh dear dear dear dear well he saw a stone there and he
became he spit on it to make it I don't think you can raise the value of this
one he became obsessed with the stone it had a Greek inscription he believed was
an ancient druid poem addressing the moon so a not maybe the most stable minded
gentleman who's in the museum he sees Greek writing on a rock and he's like
that's druid to the moon yep again little red flag maybe say yeah okay it was not
it was Greek right and and the poem idea was another of yellow morganics now it's
in the traditional spelling which terrifies me yellow Morganoogs fantasies
W's like sounds like two O's William said the inscription was a prophecy from
an ancient Welsh prince named Alan it feels like he missed the mark a little
bit on the name like if you're making it up which he is he's making you can just
go big yeah yeah it said a man the prophecy said a man would come in the
future to reveal the secrets of the Welsh language and liberate the Welsh
people is that you
you're the one you're the one from the rock prophecy William believed the
prophecy applied to him what and he had to go back to Wales to freeze people from
the English now okay if you it's a leap to go into a museum and see a rock and
be like this is this is important but for you to be like there is a chosen one
coming and it's me that's like so that's like double crazy that's a well if
you're the only one that can read it it's like pulling the stone the sword out
of the stone same deal no it's not and let's not get too factual on the sword
in the stone historian Ronald Hutton quote nobody else had heard of this
person or made anything like the same interpretation of the inscription right
because it was totally made up that's right when a when William returned to
Wales in 1840 authorities watched him he again worked as a doctor for laborers
he founded another druid group sure a group they walked around carrying
staffs engraved with druid symbols so we are now seeing the effect of his
upbringing from his father who walk yeah no we are you don't need to deny it the
local police constable quote they are all violent and notorious chartists and
are called mr. prices scholars that was not true if they were druids okay his
time in the chart is was coming to an end instead of becoming their
parliamentary candidate he was double crossed by another chart as faction and
he left he began addressing more and more like an ancient druid here we go
all right and we're off and we're off he wore it yeah that's like he wore a
cloaks Fox fur hat oh it was a little Davey Crockett vibe and emerald green
clothing oh he took he so like a Peter Pan Davey Crockett like they did back
then sure right and this again is based on the ancient druid text which is
completely invented by him right now and the know the other guy more okay right
Morgan okay he also grows beard long and stopped cutting his hair he began a
relationship with a woman and Morgan and she moved in with him in 1842 they had a
daughter she was baptized by William at Rockingstone in Ponta Pratt I tried as
when Julian irash is Morgan there's no way any that's right then I think we'd
all love to hear it one more time when Julian irash is Morgan it's not even
close now William was also into free love hmm he had an insatiable appetite for
young women and had sex as often as possible okay well I don't remember the
young women part let's pump the brakes and he could quote women of the parish
were somewhat in awe of this figure in their midst many failed to resist his
advances that's a weird way of putting it they would succumb to his advances
yeah he's a sexy motherfucker it's right yeah what's not to love he's dressed like
Robin Hood with a coonskin cap on that's right long beard long hair yep
probably some snakes in his pocket at this point not gonna he condemned marriage
quote matrimony is to be mercilessly condemned as an institution which
reduces the fair sex to a condition of slavery well and that's how we got laid
it's a good angle to work yeah close to what I think yeah his daughter died when
she was just seven months old of druid she got an ancient druid disease that's
probably what he said druids William started making his own obelisks and
stone circles on his property his own what what's what's an obelisks like a he's
putting pointed rocks and circles making them and putting them together okay
and then as property you know why because he's lost his mind completely no
because he's a druid right okay that's what druids do well again it's really up
for interpretation so that's what druids do okay are you a druid no I just
respect them it's a weird line normal towns people were freaked out by
midnight possessions that he led it to graveyards that's fair that's fair a
bunch of druids going to a graveyard at midnight that's alright yeah that's a
weird thing do you know hey how do you know motherfucker they might have I mean
they might have been singing like the seven dwarfs who knows I don't know he
actually now that's what I'd like to picture keep going he tried to hold
druid events and organized an ice to the foot at the pot prep in 1844 and what is
a nice the foot it's a it's a music and poetry competitive oh it's another it's
another one of those it's competitive poetry music festival right when even if
you win you didn't win yeah everybody loses yeah it's kind of like a renaissance
for his head talking right okay but no one showed up to his yeah a little too
empathetic William began signing his name with hieroglyphics so does that mean
you're chiseling into the paper just writing at a higher you know like when
he gives a prescription he's like there you go buddy this is a man about to
shoot an arrow so I'm sorry what is this that's my signature look at the back
of my card see same thing when when yellow's son Taliesin died a man named
Evan Davies who went by Joanne Morgan Oog or Yayon Meyer either works declared
himself the arch druid of the Bards of the Isle of Britain I mean this so this
is pretend for grown-ups this is like they're Larpers essentially right is
that what's happening like just kind of like well I'm actually chief druid in
charge of dirt what's the difference between this and a guy going I'm Pope
now well obviously there's no smoke coming out of a chimney which is a huge
part of how the Pope decision goes okay yeah your Bible bro so after Evan Davies
declared himself archdruid of the Bards of the Isle of Britain William was
fucking livid because he thought he should be the archdruid he had found
the letters on the rock in France after all but was archdruid like it was it
invented yeah neither yellow or a Taliesin ever called themselves the
archdruid they were both just kind of making it up but Davis said he had been
given the mystical egg found in a druid chamber oh my god he found the mystical
egg my luck is such bullshit worst part is I didn't even know about the mystical
egg until just now she found it yep he found the mystical egg in a druid
burial chamber 400 years ago he or no he was given the mystical egg that was
found 400 years that's better because otherwise you're like oh my god are we
Highlanders oh and Davis also started calling himself
Mevar Morgan and the scholar of glam Morgan no no no deems
this is enabling things to things took an even worse turn how we're making a
mystical omelet what do you mystically want in it we've got mystical peppers
some mystical mushrooms you get some mystical build your own well Davis
davies managed to have two stone circles installed at the same location
where William had tried to build his museum oh the nerve the two men would
have drew attention for decades a thing not known before today drew attention now
William had gone full druid at this point with his clothing he now had several
outfits they were bright red or green he sometimes wore a red tartan shawl
he had goats etched onto the gold buttons locals pointed out both he and
goats like to fuck a lot not on the local sides so he's a midlife William what
happens at midlife well he started to appear in court a lot why Dave well he
was either sued or being or suing people okay he would shamelessly play to the
jury some cases were stopped because he wouldn't swear on the Bible sometimes he
mocked the proceedings by having his new infant daughter there as a fellow
counsel I like a baby lawyer I like that or he'd say his name was something
other than it was people started to go to court just to watch him do his thing
I would do that yeah from one court case prosecutor pray sir are you a member of
the Royal College of Surgeons William they say so prosecutor but really I wish
you know whether you are a member of the college or not William yes I am
prosecutor and is this dress in which I now see you the uniform of a surgeon who
is a member of the college William it is not it is the dress of the ancient court
a glam organ so it went like that yeah no further questions
well yeah absolutely yes
can we take a recess and a real one she wants to go play she is William went to
an international exhibition in Cardiff in a goat drawn carriage and a goat drawn
carriage what those goats were like no dude we're not that's not how no not our
department how many goats many goats many goats many many goats so many goats
like 30 goats and goats who were like what are we doing like it probably was
probably so late because the goats right no no no come on mush mush goat he's
mush listen take it so long oh my god well we lost three goats I ended up
dragging the goats I put them in the carriage a national ice dead foot was
held in 1860 and thousands went the neo druids thought this was a turning point
for druidism well and based on how familiar we are with that now they were
right Davies was there wearing the mystical egg around his neck you know
what all right I'll be honest look you can find the mystical egg fine good for
you you found it don't showboat okay I need to turn into a necklace a William
was now 60 years old completely immersed in the druids and their mythology this
is a bad age for that he tried to start the museum project again but it failed
after coal was discovered on the land okay he was graceful hold on wait for
us well they make it easy yeah okay I'm nervous about when he comes back yeah I
know so Cole's discovered on the land he fought with this sorry real quick clean
coal yeah fine right he thought with the owners in court which led to William
being in a lot of debt the debt caused him to flee to France again okay time to
get on the Lady garb from France he wrote you need to help getting on the boat
miss I've been working here 40 years never find my soulmate personally you
look very familiar you know about you you're a spicy for he don't you get
slowly out here 40 years I've been out here looking for you're just making
noises aren't you yeah I'm not listening what's the quality I think I
need to make I tend to go on and on I think I get that from my father a bit
of a rambler he was never forget the first time he took me to a bank and said
he had to make a deposit I thought all right he's got to make a deposit that's
fine I know you could also make withdrawals the funny thing about banking
is sometimes they don't have the cash on hand that they say they do a lot of it
is sort of a fake currency in a way it's invented you can trust them now
that's where credit comes into play now credit you want to get good credit good
credit's good bad credits not good no credit bad credit technically that was
the first time I went to the bank I'm glad he left yeah so when he was in
France he started writing to the National Press making exaggerating
exaggerated statements about himself in Welsh history he claimed he was a Lord
of the Southern Welsh and that quote all the Greek books are the works of the
primitive Bards in our own language wow really reaching here yes some of the
letters were signed Lord his Lord of day hey Barth and leader of the 1164
uprising well I think I mean you know I think you've crossed the threshold when
you're claiming to be basically immortal he was in France for years in 1870 he
was seven years old but he still managed to have a few affairs in Paris after five
years he went back to Wales where he discovered his former girlfriend and
Morgan had died what yep okay he settled down in the town of a
cantricent
contracent clantricent okay and what and what letter does that why don't you
tell me what letter that that town starts with he's attacking the language
not you it starts with an L fuck off there's no C there's no fucking C is that
true friend no now you're hissing like a cat
plan which why don't we name our team that was it
fucked up interesting wow yeah this is a language you need saliva for there's a
lot of people getting spit on in the face yeah yeah and if you're gonna spit do
it on a rock oh make some growers some shit anyway there he opened a new
medical practice by the way now at first this could have been a great story
about a surgeon about it but now if this guy's opening a medical practice it's
scary because surely he's gonna be like we need to put a goat's head in your
head he now that would be pretty great he now lived in a much smaller home
amongst workers though his practice was successful but he was soon charged with
manslaughter that's a jump well a man had been kicked in the knee by a horse two
years before this is not leading to manslaughter so far and it had led to a
large tumor on his kneecap okay he's in a lot of pain can barely work the five
doctors who saw him all recommended he had the leg removed and here we go
Williams like you need a third leg he went to William and William said he could
cure him oh boy William said about losing the leg quote it would be just as
well he should have his head cut off how much is that I don't have a good
co-pay he gave him some powder to take and a pint of beer
okay doki and then he passed a needle tied to silk through the tumor he what
he what he what he tied some silk onto a needle and put it through the releasing
blood and water and pressure so it was full of you know so he's like releasing
fluid from the knee yeah right but he's putting silk into it yeah and he left the
silk in the tumor and tied it off so he just put like a ribbon on his knee yep
there you are now looks like a present good work you get to keep that leg too
it really hurts it should all right we'll see you drink that beer take that
Molly we'll see in a bit did I mention I'm from 1846 and you might hear a guy
saying he found the mystical egg is no mystical egg it's a worm and I have it so
the guy died in a couple of days any reason any thoughts on what what went
wrong no no is he the first guy to die of silk knee no other people have other
people have something else sure he arrived in court in a quote fine broom with
a pair of horses and two servants he was dressed in a suit of green lined with
and trimmed with scarlet and a handsome fur cap okay so like the jury would be
like relatable I get this guy after hearing the evidence the judge told the
jury William could not have known puncturing the tumor would end like this
and instructed them to find him not guilty the judge did is that what that's
not is that wasn't the judge what's happening that's what he did isn't it
going the opposite like the word about it okay but it just seems strange well I
think we can all agree not guilty why don't you guys going back and come back
with that that's how this works and also yeah okay yeah he didn't know that it
would end in death yeah still he didn't know that it would cure a tumor I mean he
put silk into a guy sometimes you gotta put silk in a guy no you don't unless
it's a magician or you're in love fair fair as he left the court a large crowd
in the street cheered him and followed him to his hotel okay of course it's just
always always group of people are like you're the best you get it William
next suit the repair estate including a Monmouth and Brecken claiming it was
always it had always belonged to the Druids and therefore it was in his
family I said there was an oblong on the estate that proved this but only he
could read it because he was the archdruid he did not win the case was his
lawyer like yeah let's we'll try I don't feel great about it what does your
daughter think that's a good angle actually I like that angle
don't work that at the end of 1870 he attended the I stood foot in the
Mercer mm-hmm mm-hmm where he debuted his new look a wool purple one piece
covered in green druid letters so he's like the Riddler now yeah all right
perfect these by the way if you hear this guy's debuting a new outfit you're
like oh shit this is gonna be what it's like fashion week and they are one
piece it's a one piece yeah it's a one-piece wool what if you have to go
pee I do it inside they loved him in this outfit at the I stood foot yeah well
to be fair they were star for entertainment yeah in 1871 he published
his long worked-on philosophy of Druidism mm-hmm there's no pronunciation
for this so Giles the night he thought we go thank you got it we got in one
good work Dave it's probably he thought he would make this would make him the
leader of the new druids but it was completely unintelligible so he moved to
the it's really difficult to not move up the ranks of a completely invented
imagined system yeah because you can just always make up shit yeah you could
yeah I mean literally you're just like I found a new egg it's better whoa this
guy who's the new guy what there's a new egg do you think that guy had to
replace that egg a bunch yeah I guarantee you every night that guy went home and
like was dipping toast in it was like I've got the new one mm-hmm I'm having
eggs and soldiers so he moved to the ancient town of
conscious that mm-hmm yeah gorgeous this time of year to get there if you've
never been a high level it really is I apologize you got to go there the mayor
is a cat who's being sick it's gorgeous gorgeous name he believed this was a
place where early Druids had a settlement and decided this Celtic
kingdom is where he lived for the rest of his life this is I mean this is like
Welsh Mormonism I mean it's just everything is just like and that this
I mean you see something you're like this was important to the Druids yeah
because I did is you can literally just say whatever you want yeah yeah it's
like unlike now I'm looking at really have you heard a religion yeah that's
pretty clear but the town was not what it used to be one historian called it
quote a mean little town mm-hmm another said it was a fill it was filthy with
falling apart buildings and the streets were knee-high with dung yeah hasn't
changed fugitive's thieves and sex workers populated the town's 27 pups
20 set 27 pubs is like a good amount for now yeah I think that's what with a
whole economy was based on I mean it's just like we find together another pub
then we're nice to a pub she's like a pub we're a pub so William took advantage
of the state of the town and bought property and then more and more and by
1881 his property was worth 10,000 the locals were quote alarmed by him and his
views on marriage mm-hmm even at it means like what like 73 now and just like
he's 80 how is he living so long I think it's that egg yeah he's 81 he's 81 and
he's still fucking like a barn owl are they known as bangers I mean I mean I
thought their thing was mice no and in Wales that's a classic well man if I
saw two owls fucking I would lose my mind as his heads turning around oh yeah
yeah that's actually the best way for doggy if your partner could be like
hello how are you doing over there it's good yeah it's all right all right go back that way yeah so so even
that is advanced even at his advanced important point I know I know someone
finally made it it's a visual that it's important yeah even as advanced age he
was attractive to ladies some women weren't all so he's like Mick Jagger right
right you still might fuck him right and he dresses a little like Mick Jagger
too yeah that summer he was taken to court due to complaints about water
closets on his properties oh god forbid yeah what do you want a water closet is
I mean I think I do the bathroom yeah okay I'm just making sure for a second I
thought you open it and like a flood comes out familiar with water closets I
thought he was charged with neglect to quote abate a nuisance caused by an
accumulation of filth in the closet of a cottage he owned behind an end okay so
his closets don't have much water in them they're sort of like daddy's pocket it's
a filth closet right okay William was upset that okay William was upset because
the sanitation authority had built toilets for his cottages and charged him
for it and the cottage was now vacant and the bathroom was filthy one reason
was because there was a quote gap in the wall that allowed the local people to use
it I'm like kind of fathoming it but I don't want to fully grasp I'm just
assuming we're talking about a shit pile yeah yeah okay cool William called the
order to clean the bathroom from the sanitation authority quote malicious
spiteful and unjustifiable prosecution uh-huh he was given seven days to clean
the filth by the court he still fought it found the board just gave up and ended
the prosecution and William had the water closet torn down anyway rather than
clean it that take more work right tear it down well we could just know tear it
down we're done it's over I'm done he then met the next love of his life oh
god Gwen she and she well it was you don't know so it sounds right I'm the
fuck do you know I'm nervous for an age on this
well she understood his druid beliefs Dave that that sounds very childlike to
me he was 80 yeah I'm aware of his pervy age how old is she 21 I
dare I say we've set the bar so low I'm a little relieved 21 get some of that
hot old dick that's like when Manson was getting like girls who were like 20
were like what yeah but Manson's got those eyes yeah yeah there's something
attractive about a lover that can't blink
they had a druid wedding on his 81st birthday at the Rocking Stone in the
Pontipart a druid wedding two weeks later was the equinox and more of the
wedding ceremony at Rocking Stone at exactly noon William talked to the son
speaking in an older made-up Welsh language people watching were convulsing
with laughter yeah I would go to this wedding without question and now I'll
communicate with the son in an old Welsh language that nobody's heard I
gibberish Gwen Sheehan and William had a son on August the 8th 1883 he was
named you see Yisoo Christ why is that crazy this is the Welsh name Jesus Christ
what was he like is that taken has somebody it's a family name it's an
old family name wow that's like what Kanye should start calling himself Jesus
Christ Kanye's new album Yisoo Yisoo so you so crazy obviously this was a bit
provocative because you know Christian religions were the some would call it
blasphemous people were not happy really William said he picked Jesus Christ
because he was expecting his son to do great things he quote will rain on
earth and that in him the ancient a druidical system will be restored
druidical system now we're just gonna weird I think we're making these words
up oh I know we are but sadly Jesus Christ died five months later on January
no no no three days later though wait for it Papa tis I but he can't he's five
months old so he can't say anything yeah Jesus didn't need to say a lot of
stuff it just like you know turn dirt into fish and shit dirt into fish shit
yeah so he turned dirt into fish and shit dude that's slang come on read the
Bible man it's in there revelations revelations fish you get the shit yeah
eat up boys sorry I'm out of fish spells I can only do five a day did Jesus
call them spells yeah for sure remember yeah the whole thing with Jesus yeah yeah
yeah what's that water that's wine let's party I have some my body eats of my
body guys soak it up because I am yeah yeah I turned shit into shit I'm not
very good at this it's bigger though Jesus good work
you're placating me now William did not believe in bearing corpses because that
would pollute the earth so we decided pump the brakes he wasn't gonna bury
the kid so he decided to cremate his son's body okay you know what I'm
relieved I could I thought it would be like time to eat him now cremation was
not a thing at the time then that is weird though some had begun to talk about
it as a way to deal with corpses because there were too many corpses in the UK
yeah yeah that'll be coming back yeah that's after that's that's post-Brexit
yes I think the idea now is that we just do mass burnings yes yes quote
churchyard throughout the country were becoming unsanitary with overcrowded
burial plots in densely populated areas city dwellers were all too aware of the
attendant horrors of overcrowded Braille grounds drunken grave diggers body snatchers
the ever-present stench of corruption and the sight of bones carelessly thrown
up from yawning graves bones thrown up from yawning graves every time we do a
medical story there's just there's part of it's always like and then parts were
sticking out of the grave yeah just not yeah this is before they knew six feet
they're like two feet that's the rule or half just cover them with dirt yeah
there you go perfect I like his arm out that's a cool look yeah yeah it's like a
haunted graveyard ooh spooky there was even a cremation society of Great
Britain as people were pushing for an alternative to bury they were called the
cremates the cremates but still there had not been a cremation yet as far as
we knew in well Jesus get off the cross let's do this at sundown on Sunday the
13th of January 1884 William climbed to a hilltop and made a fire he'd already
had someone place a cask of paraffin oil at the spot sure some locals saw the
fire and went up to see what was going on what are you doing roasting marshmallows
my god my god it's middle name was marshmallow we're still eating him just
with some graham crackers and chocolate Jesus Marshmallow Christ yeah that's
where Christ on a cracker comes from
by the way can you hand me the graham crackers yeah they found William chanting
in an unintelligible language in front of the cask of paraffin oil again gibberish
total gibberish yeah in which there was a the baby's body wrapped in napkins the
local churches emptied out and seeing the fire the people all started walking
up the hill huh and then they stood shocked as the flames reached five feet
high and someone ran to get the police officers Francis and Hoyle ran up when
they got there I like this duo but I'm put on put on put on put on put on put
on put on put on put on put on put on put unlike Francis and Doyle yeah when
they got there some of the crowd were threatening to attack William but William
said he had a pistol and shoot the first man who did that's good negotiating and
you know what happens if you die around William it's fire time quote oil kicked
the barrel hard enough for it to fall and the burning corpse rolled out although
wrapped in napkins it's gruesome content was clear as the bare chest and
exposed arms and legs were all a light well I mean burning napkins napkins
yeah yeah you wrap it napkin yeah you do like three napkins it's like there we
go that'll do I'll go into the Dunkin Donuts and get a handful of napkins
we'll wrap the kid in those it'll be fine I wasn't expecting that what am I
supposed to macha him let's go the mob broke into a frenzy shrieking at the
site of the burning baby's corpse now when you put it like that I get it yeah
okay women fainted others cried out in terror women always fainted a man hooked
a stick into the body and dragged it you finally someone who honors the body of
the child a man who put a hook through it still blazing across the grass to the
hedge Jesus Christ turf to extinguish the burning flesh and napkins so in
other words the choice was made instead of burning the child to half burn it and
then beat it out with like a hook there we go
drag it he didn't beat it he dragged it no what do you do he didn't beat it I
didn't he dragged it I didn't know he dragged it and then covered it in dirt
oh the hell's wrong with you yeah what's wrong with me yeah yeah I'm the
creep in the story yep fair dave the crowd of 300 we're now 300 and someone
yelled quote let us burn the old devil Constable Francis are they talking about
the baby no they're talking William so they're opposed to burning you know what
I mean well there's a weird line here now okay that's fair don't burn the baby
burn the sinner so the Constable rushes William and grabs him and and ceases him
and they take him to jail they put William in one cell and the baby's
corpse in the other we don't want them conferring about what their stories are
we'll interview them separately first the mummified youth and you better talk
you little son of a bitch hey you gotta take it away here sorry my partner my
partner gets a bit hot my partner here gets a bit hot around the collar you
have to excuse him now let's go away look look look I'm not that different from
you right sure I'm a bit older I'm not ashy I've never been thrown in a fire
with napkins but I like milk wouldn't have nice
god fucking kill hi I have to excuse my partner he's had a rough week it's a
tough business yes sick baby oil take a minute take a minute oil anyway walk us
through the evening I'm taking off my badge the kid's good he won't talk the
old man says he's a druid we have a lot of problems here Mac this case is a
nightmare
so people surrounded Williams house mm-hmm there was concern they would
attack Gwenshian but inside were four large well-trained dogs that kept the
crowd at bay she also armed herself with two pistols wow all right I like this
stand up finally the police arrived and kept watching guarded the house people
also surrounded the jail they thought William had killed the baby Jesus Christ
his name I I know it's still working for me an inquest was held two days later
crowds gathered both William and Gwenshian refused to say if she was the
mother okay I mean it goes on for hours when they're trying to get her to meet
she's the mother right okay the corner ruled the baby Jesus Christ had died
from natural causes he did not put the baby's name on the death certificate but
instead wrote quote un-christianed child well okay the police asked the corner to
bury the baby and the corner said legally he couldn't and then William
demanded that he be given his child's body back there's a lot going on right
now the corner won't bury it yeah he's like legally I can't bury the baby it's
and they were like what law is that he's like the law that's just I don't want to
do it so I have a dinner at five and I'm like super late this whole thing I
wasn't supposed to be here today that's the baby smells yeah I did spill some
soda and use it though because it was the napkins are just yeah I think it's
the quicker thicker picker upper so when the corner left the police station he
was pelted with rocks so then he dies in another corner well I don't know it
looks like the police said they would allow William to have the baby's body
if he signed a document promising to bury the baby and William pretty fair
William refused sure because right of course the next day he was hit with two
charges for not properly handling a body and eagle illegally disposing of a
corpse still William demanded the body there was no legal way to avoid it but
the court also didn't want to give it the body unless he promised to bury also
finally he agreed okay he took the body to one of his empty houses and while in
the house he and a servant prepared dinner and chopped up three buckets of
turnips Dave uh-huh it feels like they haven't done the chore yet and I'm
worried that they're doing it right now a crowd gathered outside thought he was
cutting up the body oh I thought I seriously thought he's about to make
Jesus do I really did I thought he was like Elmer flooding his baby okay that's
good okay so he but still very that servant was like should okay just cut
the turnips okay great we'll do some side work and then I'll be your sous
chef and then we'll maybe get to okay great the police came and asked to see
the body but William refused to show it to them this is really honoring the
child's memory yeah well so William was tried in Cardiff for performing
cremation rather than a burial he argued that the law did not state whether
cremation was legal or illegal which was completely true right the Jerry found
him not guilty and applause broke out in the court okay after following the
court case for a month people now had a totally different opinion and they were
like cremation right yeah which they had been an angry mob one month before but
now people cheered him he was given so typical of the angry mob totally yeah
we've changed our minds a hundred percent when he got back to town he was
given a standing ovation people were flying flags in support okay a bit much
on March 14th William cremated his son Jesus Christ with his own personal
druid prayers on the hilltop sure locals respectfully watch from the bottom of the
hill different the British Medical Journal celebrated William's victory and
boosting the case for quote the hygienic value of cremation William had done
more for cremation than doctors and the cremation society had done for over a
couple of decades the cremation society announced it would cremate anyone who
requested it we're taking all burners Jesus really did a body come on down
I'll burn your grandma a little 800 number flashing at the bottom of the
screen ants uncles grandparents we're doing them all Sunday I don't forget our
Black Friday special we'll burn two for one two bodies one fire let's do this
whales William was now more famous than he'd ever been and he loved it pictures
of him were being sold by shopkeepers in London what I mean this really is a
turnaround he decided to commemorate the burning of his son's body and made 300
bronze oval shaped metals with a goat and dragon eating its own tail on the
front what better way to honor your son than a dragon eating itself in 1885 the
first official cremation in Britain took place at a walking crematorium the
first person was Jeanette Pickersgill ten were cremated the next year in 1892 a
crematorium open in Manchester then in one in Glasgow then Liverpool and
Birmingham when gave lectures all over the place and attended events but the
lectures didn't go well because people didn't know what in the fuck he was
talking about I can sense that they literally couldn't understand his
gibberish they were like this is the guy who we think we're following and of
course the egg was not the right egg I'm pretty sure he made it up okay I found
the stone I found the stone it's written in Greek but it was to me from the moon
all right now I got a pee I can't get out of this thing I really hits one piece
I got a no no they also didn't understand the way he dressed purple
cloth and embroidered with green letters he would come to sincerely hear him
speak and ended up laughing hysterically at him he was now such a
celebrity that when one of his cows died it was written up in the newspapers he
burned the cow he burned the cow he burned it that's called cooking in late
1884 Gwen Sheehan had a second child oh well he's 84 now I mean having kids yeah
he's still popping live rounds it's a medical term yeah he named his new son
Jesu Christ which means Jesus Christ but this time this time it was an homage
to his first son who was an homage to Jesus Christ okay so it's just like
replacing a cat like you're just like this is my new name okay again he thought
his son had a very important future because he was the second coming of
Jesus Christ hence the name well the third he's the third coming the third
coming yeah third coming William predicted Jesus Christ would eventually
reign over the entire planet yeah well a lot of people in America still pretty
confident on the 27th of May 1886 Gwen Sheehan had a daughter they named her
Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope yeah yeah okay William
then began to fade out of the public eye occasionally he'd make the news like
when he refused to send Jesus Christ to school dude doesn't need to go to school
Jesus Christ fucking knows everything I mean that's funny though when you get
angry at him Jesus Christ come down here I mean I'm never mind and 1892 William
erected a pole that was over 60 yeah he erected a pole for a while it was over
60 feet high had a crescent moon symbol at the top this is where he wanted to be
cremated he still made regular trips to Cardiff in his druid clothes and
attracted attention Prince William died sorry this is the last time we come here
guys thank you oh I mean thank God I can't kill people by mispronouncing shit
that's like a black mirror that's a nightmare for you William Price died at
home in on the 23rd of January 1893 when he was close to death he said quote
bring me a glass of champagne those are his last words on the 31st of January he
was cream cremated on coal as was stated in his will 20,000 people watched the
cremation his family oversaw it they were dressed in a mix of traditional
Welsh and Druid clothing after his wife remarried a road inspector employed by
the local council you know I just want something less druid this time I just I
could listen to you talk about your work all day it's so normal well I found a
hole to put stuff on it that's amazing and you don't believe the moon talks to
you I love you I love us she walked away from being a druid and joined a Christian
Church Jesus Christ and the Penelope were baptized Jesus was renamed Nicholas
Saint Nicholas Saint Nicholas did not end up raining over the world whoa well
yeah he changed his name like a dickhole in 2017 a commemorative green plaque was
unveiled at a Rudy Parish Hall to mark the nearby birthplace Brian Davies the
former curator of the Ponta Pratt Museum said of price quote he was a
remarkable man he supported free education for the poor he funded the
first cooperative store he operated an NHS style business model in his doctor
surgery for 50 years supported the movement for social reform it is vital
that historical figures I remembered and commemorated so we left some stuff out
on the plaque yeah that like that was the first half yeah the second half he's he
talked to the moon he dressed like the Joker first half was great had a baby
called Jesus tried two babies it called Jesus Christ one he tried to burn a lot
of stuff that's the first yeah the first guy with his knee yeah he's the first
guy to still command a death he threw a spear at someone yeah I get it I get
celebrated the first half well that's fucking nuts yeah pretty normal place you
got here yeah congrats and actually it's pretty it's not card if it's pronounced
your love yeah it is that first it's the first half the first half is dynamite
yeah the first half is perfect yeah and then it goes off the rail yeah yes yeah
but right yes he ended up moving cremation for which cremation for sure
yeah needed to happen well yeah the eye I mean obviously like we've let go of it
to some extent but I mean the idea of like what happens your body after you
died me is always so stupid I mean I'll do it unless you want what I want which
as I've said before I want to be stuffed with my catchphrases on my chest oh no
and buttons that you can hit to make me keep me around you'll hit a button on
I'll be like it's Gareth not Gary and they'll be like he's still here and I
want to be tied to the back of a truck and dragged until there's nothing left
yes and I know your wife is pushed back on that which is why I'll carry that
through I will carry that through and then when I get when I get pulled over
for doing it I'll be like oh my god I forgot I tied him to that I just ran
into the gas station so almost all of this information came from the book
Whales first radical by Dr. William Price by Dr. Dean Powell sorry
Whales first radical Dr. William Price by Dean Powell
yeah at least you can say Jesus Christ now and it's not technically blaspheming
because you're like no I'm talking about his third she's second child but at the
time at the time I didn't go into this because I'll probably just make an
episode about it at some point but they had just body trains or funeral where
