your host for the week, Rob Fox. Joining is always
by Dan Regester. What what is going on? Spooky season? Baby?
We'rerunning all white we are. It's a white out What
is a white out game? It's a white out episode today.
Speaker 3: We're dressed like ghosts, tough look for somebody of our
skin colors? Yeah, well I just mind just we have
no pointy hats though, No pointy hats, no sheets or
anything like that. We're just too like you know what
we look like.
Speaker 2: We look like like angels in a movie like bro Angel.
You know, like, have you remember that show teen Angel
when we were kids about just Dogma or Dogma? We
look like angels from Dogma?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Damon and Affleck that's who we are. Who's who?
Speaker 2: I think? Damon's the meathead, Damon's the Angel of death,
and Aflac is the uh, the brainier one.
Speaker 3: I don't care about the actual movie, the neurotic wh
would you rather be Aflac or Damon?
Speaker 2: I'd rather be Damon. Damon's life seems way more normal.
Speaker 3: You have the family.
Speaker 2: You're more Damon. I am I mean Afflick has a family.
Speaker 3: I have a questionable tattoos, a shattered family in Maflac.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't think he talks to like half his family.
Speaker 2: I feel like half his family doesn't want to talk
to him. Like his kids are weird.
Speaker 3: That'll happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The guy from Boston, yeah, who moved to La I
was like Killian Murphy did this, like try to prevent
his kids from becoming that by living in London. And
then they got a posh accent. Yeah, and we got to.
Speaker 2: Go back of getting the fuck out of here. Absolutely not.
I respect it.
Speaker 3: Rivalries matter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna raise you as little Irish mud people,
not gonna raise you as good gentlemen. I respect that.
I do too.
Speaker 3: If I have a kid, I can't raise them in Texas.
Speaker 2: Gotta go back to Philly or at least Orlando, just
the East coast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a part of
me that would really love to raise my children in
Saint Louis. You know, just let them live a normal
Midwestern life, give them that chip on their shoulder, grow
up in a place no one gives a fuck about.
Speaker 3: The Midwest is too soft, there's no edges for a chip.
You're probably right, he guys a round. Yeah, you're essentially
a wheel of.
Speaker 2: Cheese in many ways, In many many ways.
Speaker 3: The Northeast, that's where you really cut all teeth, all edges.
You people are the broken glass that litters your streets.
I was gonna say, we're barbed the wire.
Speaker 2: That too, either, whatever, It's just whatever you can find
in an abandoned factory that used to once employ many
people there.
Speaker 3: That also used to host ECW shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is what Northeasterners have made of. Barbed wire,
broken glass, a hardcore match, just abandoned bent rebar that
was then used in the in the match, the wrestling match.
That was great about hosting a wrestling match in an
abandoned factory. All the props are already there, falls count anywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I was a pro wrestler, I would love
to hold the Hardcore Championship belt. Seems exhausting that twenty
four to seven. You have to defend like somebody could
attack you at any moment.
Speaker 2: Like Cato, like someone just pop out of a fucking trash,
the Oscar, the Grouge.
Speaker 3: It wasn't necessarily the Hardcore Championship, but Stone Cold Steve
Boston attacking Booker T in the grocery store.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could happen at any time. Well, he was
known for that. He attacked Vince McMahon in the hospital.
Speaker 3: Five time, five time WCW Champion.
Speaker 2: I think that should be your next year episode next
week for Spooky mod.
Speaker 3: Who's the most famous Booker T? Is it Booker T
or Booker T.
Speaker 2: Washington. I'm gonna go Booker T Washington because I forgot
who Booker T was until you brought the spinner rooney.
It left my brain.
Speaker 3: It's all coming back now, thought completely. When I inevitably
cause your downfall and I end you and your life,
I will spin a roney on your grave.
Speaker 2: You heard it here first, So like you're gonna be
on the lamb long enough to spin a roney on
my grave, and then you're and then it's whatever.
Speaker 3: You're gonna die of, like tuberculosis.
Speaker 2: Call it consumption.
Speaker 3: We'll call it consumption. Yeah some TV.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would prefer if I do die of TV
that they say I died of consumption.
Speaker 3: I'll talk on your grave at your funeral. I can
do the Arthur Morgan if you want me to. I
don't even know what that is from Red Dead. Yeah,
I didn't play it, no idea. He died of tuberculosis.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you gave it and he died of consumption.
And did they call it tuberculosis in the game?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they say you got the TV.
Speaker 2: Not historically accurate.
Speaker 3: Who cares?
Speaker 2: I'm glad I didn't play that game. No, anyway, got
a great show today. Uh? More Spooky season content, more
Spooky month content? Uh? Got more ghosts today?
Speaker 3: Dude, this is really your corner. Huh.
Speaker 2: I love ghosts.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever done a ghost I love.
Speaker 2: Ghosts, Love ghosts. Ghosts of Gettysburg is one of my
favorite episodes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think I've ever done a ghost episode.
Speaker 2: Shit, you got to do one, dude.
Speaker 3: Nah, you got the cupboard.
Speaker 2: I got ghosts.
Speaker 3: You got check and all your stupid clips have some
ghost tied to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love ghosts history. I do need to do
a clip about Teddy Roosevelt's Bigfoot though, yeah, which you
can catch a full episode on our Patreon.
Speaker 3: Patatreon dot com. Slash Softcore History two additional episodes every
week Wednesday Friday.
Speaker 2: You know it, but today you know most of times
we talk about ghosts, it's usually random people rich and
poor alike, but just randoms, people you know heard of,
people only got famous really by being a ghost, except
John Wayne in our Alamo Ghost episode.
Speaker 3: The influencers of their time.
Speaker 2: But today is about ghosts of people you have heard
of that were known in their time, that were famous.
Do we have Kings? Yeah, we're chasing Seo as best
I could. We're talking about kings today, Ghost Kings.
Speaker 3: Well, no Kings, dude, We're gonna have a No King
episode like every two months.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. At this rate, Evergreen, it's all right.
Speaker 3: Can we go with another title just for originality? Otherwise
it's going to turn into the X Games.
Speaker 2: Where it's like, wait, were there four X Games this year? Yeah?
Speaker 3: They do it like it's a tour. Yeah, it's no
longer just winter and summer X Games.
Speaker 2: It's like you're the Q two gold medalists.
Speaker 3: It's all right, this is the spring No King's protests, Yeah, sweet.
Speaker 2: Just never ever stops. A lot of people went to
these ones. It was all over my social media. You
had a couple of friends goo. Yeah, it was weird.
Actually a lot of famous people, like not famous famous
but like SNL writers and stuff like that. I was like,
what are you doing there?
Speaker 3: It's a Saturday. You got nohing better to do? Like
Dog unless he.
Speaker 2: Was playing Vandy, I was watching college football. I'm not Saturday.
I'll skip the NFL maybe, but not skipping a fall Saturday.
You think I'm like people are like weddings in the fall,
protests in the fall.
Speaker 3: A true king could take over during college football season.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't notice. It would literally have to be February
before I figured it out.
Speaker 3: I could do something in the summer, yeah, Dog days
of summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what am I gonna watch a baseball game in July?
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter to me? No, because my team has all
the success in the world then doesn't amount to much.
Speaker 2: Just stacking dubs in July. But yeah, you can get
me on like a June day. Yeah, July day. Absolutely.
But there are famous ghosts other than like I said,
John Wayne at the Alamo. Abraham Lincoln, for example, is
said to haunt the White House.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Winston Churchill found him. Saw it was while he
was naked.
Speaker 2: I will Winston Churchill was. People don't realize this. He
was always naked most of the time.
Speaker 3: But he's like the Hulk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel like Churchill just had like a
little piglet dick, unlike LBJ, who was also probably swinging
dog in the White House a lot. No, he was.
Speaker 3: Fat late in life because he was a soldier and
everything from whatever called. Churchill was like a handsome fellow
in his youth.
Speaker 2: I still think he had a little tiny English wiener. Mmm.
Speaker 3: I think they statistically a bigger hogs than us.
Speaker 2: That's I don't buy that.
Speaker 3: Americans are kind of right in the middle.
Speaker 2: Well, so what do we I just don't buy that
British people average have bigger hogs, especially when you take
into account African American population. That's got to throw the curve.
Speaker 3: They have an African not like a population.
Speaker 2: Not like ours. I don't think Africans are thirteen percent
of their population.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but we also have, you know, other other
races bringing us down.
Speaker 2: I think they have more of that than we do.
I think they probably have more East Asian than we
do per capita. If I had to guess, they really
had their hooks in East Asia, you know what I mean. Sure,
that's why there's so many Indians there.
Speaker 3: Indians don't have small dicks.
Speaker 2: I know they're on small dicks, but I'm just saying
they colonized the places they colonizes that brought a lot
people home, not even as slaves. There's just these people
are like, I think I should move there. These guys
seem in charge of shit.
Speaker 3: Sure, but I don't know how many Hong Kong natives
are living in London.
Speaker 2: It's fair. I couldn't tell you me guy, like you
perfectly average. But also it doesn't that mean they have
higher T. Smaller Wieners is actually higher T.
Speaker 3: You need a longer dick to impregnant.
Speaker 2: Or no, it's better sperm count. I think maybe something
like that. Yeah, if you have a lower sperm count,
you need a bigger dick. So those guys are just
there's actually it's not even jizz, it's only sperm coming out.
It's like it's like cracking a hole in a bee hive.
Speaker 3: Small dick and youcome really fast. Evolutionary advantage.
Speaker 2: God, that's why I tell my wife all the time
when I blast after like eight seconds, like I'm sorry,
I'm here.
Speaker 3: Jangus the ultimate, Oh God, he.
Speaker 2: Is the Henry Ford of getting ladies pregnant onto the
next like evolutionarily, they got it right. Anyone that's in it.
Anyone that's in it, in the game for aesthetics, your
bloodline is not continuing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to please somebody. You want to actually
be courteous of the others, be a generous lover, beta
time consuming.
Speaker 2: If you make sweet love to a cave woman, both
of you are getting your throat ripped by a saber
tooth tiger.
Speaker 3: Multiple animals are probably gonna pick you apart, oh.
Speaker 2: Without at the same time minutes the most efficient form
of love making that's ever occurred. So today what I
call the perfect dinning. Uh, this is actually a good transition.
Nine pitches, baby, nine pumps. Yeah, this is actually a
good transition that we're talking about.
Speaker 3: Tell you what if that nine pumps and it's the
perfect dinner. Yeah, she ever calls you out on it,
She's like, oh that was fast.
Speaker 2: I just I just do the perfect inning.
Speaker 3: A single pitch wasted, Yeah, or you could throw.
Speaker 2: The other thing I like to do actually is throw
like a Maddox inning. It's four pumps, I get three
ground outs and maybe just like a pitch that they
don't chase that.
Speaker 3: Plus you're picking your spots. Yeah, not really throwing heat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, not not throwing heat.
Speaker 3: It's like three fours chubb Yeah, not even fully hard.
I mattics that pussy every every day.
Speaker 2: Hi, babe, she didn't listen. It's fine. This is a
good transition to they were talking about getting chicks pregnant
and having sex with chicks, because we're going in a
lot of this today is about Henry the Eighth and
one of his wives, who happened to be two of
the more prevalent ghosts.
Speaker 3: Did he ever love any of those wives?
Speaker 2: He was buried with his third wife?
Speaker 3: What happened to her?
Speaker 2: They lived out?
Speaker 3: Which Henry had all the wives that is him that
he kept executing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he kept executing them. But I think he
did not execute the third Yeah, just like divorced her. No,
the first one was the divorce problem. How many wives
did he have? But he had Okay, she died giving
birth and then yeah, how many wives did he have?
Let's see how many wives he had? But he didn't
kill her?
Speaker 3: Did he not do the research for this?
Speaker 2: Again? No, I'm not worried about that. He did have
one to three more wives after her, and she was
the third wife but he was six wives, but he
was the one she was count six wives. Yeah, he
loved her, he was buried with her. Okay, the other
ones were just there.
Speaker 3: But I'm just keeping you accountable.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not about how many wives he had. That's
not the right.
Speaker 3: That's kind of part of his story. That's like the
big thing about Henry.
Speaker 2: The wives don't really play. How many wives he had
doesn't really play a role in what his ghost does.
Speaker 3: But that's what he's known for. Yeah, yeah, all right,
he had six. It doesn't matter to the story. It
doesn't matter. It's just a perfluous details. It does kind
of matter when you and I just asked you, did
he love any of them? At least we know he.
Speaker 2: Loved Jane, and I knew that because I knew he
was buried with her. Okay, before we get to Henry's ghost,
his second wife, who he very much did not love.
I guess at the end Anne Bullyin, the most famous
executed wife of his, who was beheaded by sword in
the Tower of London on May nineteenth, fifteen thirty six.
Speaker 3: Did she have like a bad bitch speech at the end.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if she was. I'm
sure she said something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, didn't she have like a dope ass speech before
they chopped off her head.
Speaker 2: I'll check, I doubt it.
Speaker 3: I'll check feminism, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, But what she
was accused of is crazy.
Speaker 2: All right. Here's her speech. She so what she was saying,
she was innocent in what she was accused of, which
I'll get to. I come hither to accuse no man,
nor speak anything of that. Whereof I am accused and
condemned to die. I pray God save the king and
send him long to reign over you. For a gentler
nor a more merciful prince was there never So she's
gassing up Henry even if she's about to get her
head chopped off. And to me, he was ever a good,
a gentle and sovereign lord.
Speaker 3: She was a rater. Died to the end, even though
he executed her.
Speaker 2: He executed her.
Speaker 3: He was laying it down, Jesus, that's how you know
you're giving it to her good.
Speaker 2: So that's actually the worst death speech I could have imagined.
Speaker 3: See, I knew it was something.
Speaker 2: What wasn't badass at all. It's actually the least feminist
speech ever given.
Speaker 3: It's like, actually, he's an the right I deserve to die.
I did not give him an air Well, it is
his fault because it's the guy that yep, it determines
the sex.
Speaker 2: That is not technically why she was executed, though. It
was why she was executed didn't help her. They had
to get her on something I can't get her on that,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's like how you get component tax evasion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so her tax evasion was that she was accused
of adultery and incest with her brother.
Speaker 3: Seriously, she was accused.
Speaker 2: Of banging her brother. I mean r R. Martin obviously stole
all this shit from you borrow yeah.
Speaker 3: Good artist, borrow, great art steel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And if there was ever a Henry the
Eighth type person, it was Robert Brathian, big fat idiot.
Speaker 3: Although I believe that entire story is based on the
War of the Roses.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, basically. But yeah, so because she was executed
in the Tower of London, so not that the Tower
of London is her most active haunting spot, he might
have brought parrowed some of it from that, of course,
like the but brother sister banging mm and the fact that.
Speaker 3: I mean, they weren't the only brother sisters banging.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, but it was gotta be one of
the most famous accusations in history for a royal.
Speaker 3: At a certain point. With the Egyptians, well that.
Speaker 2: The accusation, it's the accuation is true, like your sister.
Uh yeah, you almost get charged for not banging yourself.
That's really the real crime in ancient Egypt is that
the civilization will never get enough flowers for surviving for
that long with in total freaks, with inbred, with insane.
Speaker 3: In Brie, there are the West Virginians.
Speaker 2: One of them can't speak like it's it's it's literally.
They do like a TLC show on Yeah, I'm sure
it's literally, like squid billies, Like that family is fucking
squid billies. It's fucked. So the Tower of London is
anble EN's most active haunting spot. Oh that's why she's famous. Yeah,
that's right. Apparitions include a white figure in a Tudor
air a dress with a French hood but no face,
so there's a hood over nothing, so people believe the
ghost is headless.
Speaker 3: Okay, like that little headless ghosts. We did a headless
Ghosts on the Patreon. We did the Headless Horseman.
Speaker 2: The Origin of the Headless Horseman. We have it. We
have a name for the Headless Horseman, gentleman.
Speaker 3: We got him.
Speaker 2: We got him. So she's seen gliding through the corridors
or sometimes leading a procession of knights and ladies in
ancient attire down the Chapel Royal Aisle toward her grave
which is under the altar in the Chapel of Saint
Peter ad vent Cula. Now that's generally what people see,
but we do have some pretty spicy sighting stories of
Anne Boleyn, in particular with other famous people. Uh actually yes,
but I mean of living people seeing her before we
get to the other famous people she's seen with.
Speaker 3: What if there were certain ghosts that were kind of
picky with who they haunt. They only haunt people they
deem worthy.
Speaker 2: It's like it at Abercrombie back in the day, where
you would get a certain bag if they thought you
were ugly and bought something in a certain bag, if
they thought you were hot and bought something.
Speaker 3: You have to be of a certain status in order
to mingle with them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I would do. Like I'm just gonna
haunt anyone that's sort of your ghost flower, you know
what I mean. You can't just give it away to You're.
Speaker 3: Just gonna give it to some gardener walked into your apartment.
Speaker 2: The janitor. No, you gotta give it to someone real,
someone who like you look at them and you're like,
people will believe it if I haunt the fuck out
of this guy. There have been many sightings of Ann
Bulin over the years. Uh one eighteen seventeen, siding a
sentry on the White Tower staircase, saw her ghost and
had a heart attack and died on the spot.
Speaker 3: She's getting bodies.
Speaker 2: She she's got a body.
Speaker 3: Now, when you kill somebody in the afterlife, does God
hold it against you?
Speaker 2: It's an interesting loophole. M hm, is a ghost you
or is like.
Speaker 3: You're in purgatory technically I suppose right, just wandering the earth.
But if you catch bodies, if you're committed mortal sins.
Speaker 2: In purgatory, what other like that just adds time? What
other sins could you commit in purgatory? Even you can't
like use substances or fuck, it's really just.
Speaker 3: Like you can fuck murder.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, people have had sex with ghost ive said
Bobby Brown fucked too. Seen that Mante Williams episode.
Speaker 3: I think Charlie Sheen has claned to fucking ghost.
Speaker 2: No, it was the only I think it's a woman
who's like I a drilled bite ghost. But Witherspoon, uh
no more far more mentally unstated Witherrspood. But I don't
I don't recall who off the topped my head.
Speaker 3: So yeah, if you kill somebody post death, I think
it counts then I think they can also hunt you
for that.
Speaker 2: But if it was this seems more like manslaughter.
Speaker 3: Though he hit somebody with your car, you kill him
even if it's an accident.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're still serving. Yeah, it depends on the accident though.
Like a song, kid runs out in front of my
car as a joke and I hit him on the
way to record a podcast and can't stop because I
told you I would be here at seven.
Speaker 3: You weren't here on time, though, Yeah, And I did
see a dent in your car.
Speaker 2: It's an old car.
Speaker 3: It's not even a mile drive.
Speaker 2: It's an old car. A lot of kids in my neighborhood, Yeah,
they like riding their little dirt bikes at night.
Speaker 3: That's a Philly flavor right there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I moved to a non dirt bike neighborhood,
but popa wheel. It's the whole. I don't get it
if my kid, when my kids asked me for a
dirt bike, the answer can be such a com know,
like the amount of laughter I put into their face.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna have to worry about your kid ask
them for a dirt bike.
Speaker 2: I definitely am.
Speaker 3: I don't think he has the coordination Rory.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: First off, he had to wear a helmet, so his
head's already imbalanced.
Speaker 2: No, it's perfectly balanced. M m. And also, if Rory
doesn't fit in the NodD shape though, Finn will.
Speaker 3: Just be in the middle. Child, the redhead. He wants
to be the rebel because nobody's paying attention to him.
Speaker 2: Finn's so far. Finn is the athlete. Finn is the
one that wants to do athletic shit, wants to do
dangerous shit. Rory likes to play maker.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. He did not open up a gash
in his head, right, Yes, Yeah, he's the jackass one. Yeah,
like just fell straight into our fireplace and laughed. Heyd
even cry.
Speaker 2: He did stop crying pretty quick, because if.
Speaker 3: He didn't cry, then he would just come off like
a psychopath. Yeah, that's true, which he is.
Speaker 2: Actually, I'd be more worried if he didn't cry. That's
when you really got to worry about a baby.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. He faked a couple of tears.
Speaker 2: Yeah. When they don't cry is when it's like, oh,
that child's hurt.
Speaker 3: It feels no pain. He's a superhero.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So in eighteen sixty four, this is one of
my favorite ghost sightings I've ever read about. Actually a
century outside the Queen's house near her pre execution quarters,
saw a misty veiled white figure again in a Tudor
air address, approaching him, and he was like, what the
fuck is this? Jesus, it came right Anne Bolin's ghost
came right up to him, and he did the only
logical thing he could think of. In eighteen sixty four,
when a ghost gets in his face, he stabbed her
in the stomach with a bayonet, gonna blow her kiss. No,
he took his bayonet and just rammed it into her
ghost tummy.
Speaker 3: Does that work? It does not seems like you're gonna
go right through the specter.
Speaker 2: So this pissed I think Anne boleyn off. Yeah, and
a fiery flash came out of her and the shock
from that made him faint. So basically she just like
burst up with light and the shock made him faint.
Speaker 3: He fainted like a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he faints.
Speaker 3: So he went from being hardcore trying.
Speaker 2: To kill a ghost and yeah, which is sick.
Speaker 3: Which is sick. But then he faints like a little girl.
Speaker 2: Yes, but he got hit with a beam of light.
Maybe the bayonet did work.
Speaker 3: Maybe he woulded her. He ripped her open, yeah, ripped
open a portal. Yeah, maybe transported his soul. Either that
or she just like pikachuwed him thunderbolted.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, one of the other. So he
has found in the Tower of London and they're like
his superior officer or whatever was like, oh sleeping on
dirty Yeah, and he gets court martialed. He gets sent
to a court martial trial for sleeping on duty because
he fainted.
Speaker 3: And then he becomes a ghost.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, he was acquitted because two witnesses,
including the Officer General Dundas, confirmed that they had seen
everything that happened. The boys had his back there were
two eyewitnesses or the boys had his.
Speaker 3: Back, otherwise he would have become a ghost.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be funny if he was just like,
they're just like, all right, man, what what happened? Mike?
Just tell me what happened. I'll back you up. No
matter what. We're not gonna let a boy get court martial.
Lauran and he's like, oh, it's crazy. Anne Berlin's ghost
came rat at me. I didn't know what to do,
so I took my boy in there and I'll just
jammed it right in there, pitch right in that dumb kunk.
Speaker 3: Just what if it was metaphoric? He whipped out his dick.
Speaker 2: That's what you should do to show the ghost that
you say she wanted me. Yeah, it's like that flash
that was that's her getting off. Yeah, but you gotta
think like if you if they did live for him,
They're like, that's the story you're going with. You need me,
You want me to back you up on that story.
Can't just say you is dehydrated. You can't just say
you was sick, you had consumption.
Speaker 3: If you're dehydrated, you're executed on the spot. You want
me to tell everyone you're useless. That bloody stabbed the ghost.
Speaker 2: And he's like, yeah, that's what happened, all right, but
I swear to God if I get coughtmosaled.
Speaker 3: With you lying under oath.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it worked. Yeah, they perjured, They could have
purjured themselves for all we know.
Speaker 3: And you're just in the galleys together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll told you that is the dumbest fucking story.
I have a he robs fucking twat.
Speaker 3: Hanging in front of you. Yeah, you're just looking at
your boys, like, man, this is how we're going on. Huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Then you're in the tower line and all the
ghosts starts showing up and he's like, I told you,
I fucking told you. Doesn't matter at that point, no,
but yeah, So he there were witnesses alliguedly that saw
him stab the ghost. The ghost explodes in light, and
it got him acquitted from the court martial.
Speaker 3: Trial didn't free Anne Boleyn, though it no.
Speaker 2: Because she was seen again in the late nineteenth century.
Another captain of the Guard saw a flickering light in
the chapel of Saint Peter Vencula, where she was buried,
so he climbs a ladder and peeks in and he
sees Anne Bolin leading a procession of the knights and
shit through the thing. And he was just like, oh,
actually we have a quote from him, he said slowly
down the aisle moved to stay procession of knights and
ladies attired in ancient costumes, and in front walked an
elegant female whose face was averted from him, but whose
figure greatly resembled the one he'd seen in reputed portraits
of Anne Berlin. So he was just like he just
saw it and was like, I'm out, I'm good. I'm
gonna let them have their fun.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now there's another haunting that Anne Bolin has, where
it seems the entire theme is headlessness. Okay, she was
born in Blickling Hall and on the anniversary of her execution, may.
Speaker 3: Not defense, Let's be honest, Blickling Hall, Blickling that's not
where you find your royal life. No, obviously it was
never gonna work, man.
Speaker 2: No, Now if she was always a stop gap, if
the real Anne Bolin. The funniest part about the show
the Tutors was that Henry the Eighth Jonathan Reese Myers,
like I couldn't suspend my disbelief that no matter how
your wife pissed you off, that you would stop wanting
to have sex with Natalie Dormier. Right, Like that's too great.
Speaker 3: You need to pick another actress.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that's too great of a hill to get over,
Like you just don't throw it away.
Speaker 3: Henry A is he Henry Tudor Or is his dad?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, they're all tutors.
Speaker 3: But because Henry five obviously the king Shalla may. Yeah,
the man takes over a lot of France and England.
Henry six gives all that away.
Speaker 2: Yes, Henry Tutor is Henry the seventh.
Speaker 3: Henry seven is Tutor, right, yeah, all right, so this
is his son. So Henriette.
Speaker 2: Yeah, on May nineteenth, the anniversary of her death, her
ghost arrives at Blickling Hall.
Speaker 3: Henry Tudor also the man. I don't remember, because they
kind of wait in the shadows the well, you weren't
there for the episode the Thrones slash. Yeah, yeah, Tutors
are just kind of in the background for the majority
of the War of the Roses and then they come
out of the fucking ether and just like this is ours, now,
just take it to.
Speaker 2: The last minute. Yeah, it's the last man's standing. Dude,
you don't need to be It's like a Royal Rumble,
right like you do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like the thirtieth guy in the Royal Rumble
and he wins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to be the first in and
you don't need to be the one knocking everybody out.
Speaker 3: Like the second guy in the Royal Rumble stays the
entire time, pretty much carries the match, and then has
to lose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, them's the rules. All that for nothing, them's the plot.
I think it should be a length of.
Speaker 3: Survival, honestly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I mean, let let's just let's just moneyball
that for a second.
Speaker 3: Let's just but then you're fucked if you're like late. True,
you have to keep a guy in the ring. Actually,
so put all thirty in at the same time. Yeah,
and just get going, and then you're just kind of
ruining the showmanship of it.
Speaker 2: Though that's true. The spec that's true. I like, I
just like those like five on five MMA matches.
Speaker 3: That's Russia, I know.
Speaker 2: Or so. Her ghost arrives at her birthplace John drawn
in a carriage or in a carriage drawn by headless horses. Yeah,
and the man driving the carriage is also headless. It's
her father and he's holding her head in his lap.
Speaker 3: Was her father alive at that point.
Speaker 2: And she was kind of one of the people who
got her executed.
Speaker 3: Oh so he turned on her?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess he had multiple daughters rolled over on her.
I mean, at some point it's either your fucked or.
Speaker 3: You can't save yourself or the whole family, so over
your kid.
Speaker 2: I get it. But she was fucked either way. He
read the tea leaves, read the terrain. She was going
down either way.
Speaker 3: He was looking out for number one. Yeah, clearly, clearly
never loved her.
Speaker 2: Her father is pursued by demons afterwards, and her brother
George is dragged across the grounds by a headless horse.
Speaker 3: The horse is headless.
Speaker 2: All the horses are headless.
Speaker 3: This is new.
Speaker 2: It's I told you it's headless themed. Everyone's headless. There
are no heads.
Speaker 3: Let's work on the lore there, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't blame you. She also haunts
Hampton Court Palace. She lived with Henry there, got pregnant there,
including a stillbirth in fifteen thirty four. Her ghost just
kind of wanders there dressed in blue or black and
it's all sad. And apparently she does chill with other ghosts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's eternity. I need some company, including Henry the Eighth.
We're social species, yeah, even in death, we're social animal. Yeah,
we're not meant to be alone.
Speaker 2: Uh. She hangs with Hendery the eighth, and she hangs
with Jane Seymour her uh.
Speaker 3: His third wife. Although do you think with our generation,
they're going to be ghost that have social anxiety and
won't be able to hang out with other ghosts, won't.
Speaker 2: Be able to haunt.
Speaker 3: Actually, they actually have to get all of their food
postmated Postmates.
Speaker 2: Guy just has to show up and be like boo,
I don't know who ordered it. I think you have
a ghost. I think you have a very new ghost.
Speaker 3: He quit his job actually in real life, because they
made him go back in the office. He was remote work.
Only he killed himself. That's why you begin a ghost.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he killed himself because he couldn't handle going back
to the office.
Speaker 3: I like going into an office makes me feel more productive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like taking naps.
Speaker 3: You can't do that anymore, can you?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Not the slightest just take naps at the office.
Speaker 2: I mean I do in the morning if I really
need to.
Speaker 3: I've seen you nap in your car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do do that sometimes because I get there first,
get there at nine, nobody's doing anything for another three hours,
so I'll take like a forty minute nap, get some
extra sleep.
Speaker 3: It just means you don't want to work.
Speaker 2: Yeah I don't.
Speaker 3: You're lazy.
Speaker 2: Never working again sounds fucking sick.
Speaker 3: Dude, you get bored.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. Hey, what you underestimate my ability to not
care about boredom?
Speaker 3: Check it out. I haven't worked in two months at
this point. It's fucking awful.
Speaker 2: What was the longest you're unemployed twent nineteen? How what
was like the whole year? Twelve months?
Speaker 3: No, it was from November twenty eighteen, so end of
the month, so essentially December twenty eighteen to September twent nineteen.
Speaker 2: I was like not eight nine months.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was doing, like, you know, my
own freelance stuff.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the longest I was unemployed was after TFM.
I was unemployed for seven months.
Speaker 3: It sucks. That only sucked atter a certain point, Like
it's awesome when you have some money, say you have
no responsibilities for like a month or two. You can't
blow money. You can go travel, you can do whatever
you want. But at a certain point you're like, I
need I need purpose, dude.
Speaker 2: I fucking The only thing that sucked about it was
not having money. Are you kidding me? The other parts
were great. I was like, boy, if I just had money,
none of this would matter. This is be the best
life in the world. I could go over a walk
in the middle of the day. Yeah, he'd be a
great trust fund kid. I would be the best trust
fund kid. My parents are such dicks for not being
private lawyers.
Speaker 3: And wanted to give back to the community.
Speaker 2: Assholes.
Speaker 3: Assholes make no money. Defend criminals, criminals. They are criminals too.
Speaker 2: I don't have a trust fund because of at least
forty rapists in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your parents wanted to defend those rapists.
Speaker 2: Yeah great, I'm gonna confront them about that this Christmas.
Speaker 3: Thanks Mom and dad. Yeah, you guys are really bad people, actually.
Speaker 2: Horrible, horrible people.
Speaker 3: Some of the worst the things you did to your child,
And if they succeeded at their job, those rapists are
on the streets.
Speaker 2: Oh they did. They were great. It was just my
mom for that, but yeah, great at her job.
Speaker 3: Did they ever go against each other allegedly?
Speaker 2: I'd have to double check that story.
Speaker 3: That's how they met. Yeah, it was a real uh
la law situation. It seems like a conflict event, real suits. Yeah,
real suits storyline. It's a conflict of interest.
Speaker 2: Poor and in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3: I bet they worked out a deal for a date.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the rapists went free and.
Speaker 3: As long as your your dad could take your mom
out for a drink.
Speaker 2: It's like, like, what's one more on the streets. How
about you and me?
Speaker 3: We go to radically change someone's life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we go to the pasta house.
Speaker 3: Macaroni girl.
Speaker 2: Well, pasta house is a local Saint Louis Italian chair,
sood sprinkle some extra flavor in there. But yeah, same
same diff either way. In twenty twenty three, they actually
caught Anne Bullin's ghost on a security camera.
Speaker 3: A ball of light.
Speaker 2: No, it was a ghostly looking figure in a period
dress and it was opening doors and all types of
shit like that.
Speaker 3: Polite ghost, I guess, like opening doors for others or
just no, just like just.
Speaker 2: Doing it to see if she could do it flexing
her ghost strength.
Speaker 3: I would be like a bellman if I was a ghost.
Just work an elevator if you shouldn't see if anybody
will catch on. Yeah, you should be an elevator operator,
a ghost elevator operator. Do that, or just open doors?
Speaker 2: I gottel. Yeah, I think the pressing a button's not
as heavy of a lift as opening a door for a.
Speaker 3: Take people's bags.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they never get them. They're never go to hell,
goes straight to hell.
Speaker 3: To the underworld.
Speaker 2: Now let's get to the king.
Speaker 3: Does she haunt the king?
Speaker 2: Henry the eighth is probably hunts himself with his regret,
so you know how we're like, oh, yeah, being a
ghost is purgatory. I think this might be Henry.
Speaker 3: The A's hell being with all his wives.
Speaker 2: He's with at least several of his wives, and the
ghost version of him is the fat, old, sick version.
That's sweet, Like it's the decrepit, my leg is rotting
off version of Henry the Eighth. Yeah, why would a
happy ghost haunt? Right? Right, that's true. So Henry the Eighth,
he's been seen in a bunch of places, and like
I said, it's the obese version with gout and a
festering leg ulcer. His ghost, when it's seen, is typically
portrayed as limping, groaning, shouting, or straight up just dragging
his dead leg. A dead leg he had, like a
leg that was rotting off.
Speaker 3: That's sick. Yeah, dude, being a robot then was awesome.
Speaker 2: He got you don't get gout. Oh, actually, I don't
know how you get power to get fat at the time. Yeah,
and he was fucking.
Speaker 3: Fat, just enjoying feasts after feast.
Speaker 2: I feel like you couldn't even get fat on food
back then. It had to be the ale and the wine. Also,
what happened to all of his daughters, I don't know,
didn't look into their ghosts?
Speaker 3: Did he like throw them off a cliff or something?
Speaker 2: Oh? Actually where they just part of the court. I'm
pretty sure Elizabeth the First was his daughter.
Speaker 3: That's sweet.
Speaker 2: So she became queen.
Speaker 3: Because he's obviously so disappointed he has no air. But
what did he do to his daughters?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, his daughter was Elizabeth the First. She became
one of the most powerful monarchs English history. There we
go ironic. He wanted a strong air.
Speaker 3: One thought it would be a boy there's that monkey pop.
Speaker 2: I mean Elizabeth the fourth is proba or Elizabeth the First? Sorry,
it's probably I don't think we're at the fourth yet.
No we're not, because the one that just died with
the second Elizabeth the First. If you had to rank
all the English monarchs, she's probably top three, if not
number one, like straight up one of the best.
Speaker 3: What about Bloody Mary.
Speaker 2: She killed Bloody Mary, that's all propaganda. Yeah, she killed
the Catholic queen, killing our sweet sweet hand. And the
Spanish Armada that that justly thought sought to make England Catholic.
Speaker 3: Again would have been a better place. I'm pro Armado
and always have been. I just want to know this
is a pro Armada podcast. Well, we're just an extension
of the church one hundred percent. Everything we do is
for the Pope.
Speaker 2: Leo kidd me all the.
Speaker 3: Patreon money, I haven't actually paid rent or any of.
Speaker 2: My bills tithing at all.
Speaker 3: I've only sent it to Leo, per ties to Leo.
I'm trying to get a position at the.
Speaker 2: Papal c A cardinal cardinalcy.
Speaker 3: Doesn't have to be that high, and you need anything.
Speaker 2: Just like a small bishop role.
Speaker 3: I could be a janitor there. I don't care.
Speaker 2: The things you'll overhear and not understand me.
Speaker 3: Be a Swiss guardsman, be sick, Give me a pike,
I'll keep the demons out. That would be according to
one of our with my poke stick. According to my boss,
your ex boss.
Speaker 2: Apparently a lot of them are like ex special forces
from foreign countries.
Speaker 3: They're not Swiss.
Speaker 2: Very few, it turns out at this point, are Swiss guardsmen.
Speaker 3: You're telling me the country that's been neutral forever, Yeah,
is the badass special force guys.
Speaker 2: That'd be funny if like an ex Navy seal who
is just very Catholic was like, I'm going Swiss.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised our secretary of Defense didn't choose that path.
Speaker 2: Is he Catholic?
Speaker 3: I think he has like a templar tattoo.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean he's Catholic.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's true.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of stolen valor on that.
Speaker 3: Is on his body.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he could be. I'm not saying he's not. I
just have not heard that. Hexas doesn't strike me as
a Catholic name, But who knows.
Speaker 3: Does it have to be a name to be Catholic? No,
we're not like Jewish Catholicism doesn't have no but.
Speaker 2: There's obviously certain Irish or Italian names where I'm like, yes,
okay Malley And by the way, he is stealing valor,
he's evangelical.
Speaker 3: Gross fuck that.
Speaker 2: Get that. Someone pin him to the ground and take
that templar tattoo off of him. Yeah, cut it off.
That is fucked. Actually, I don't want to like, I
hate to like throw out like cause I rarely do this, like, oh,
someone's actually like racist or whatever, but you really do,
actually start raising some serious red flags when you went
to fight Muslims and you got a templar tattoo and
you're not Catholic. The only reason you get that is
because you're like, I want to kill Muslims.
Speaker 3: Listen, he should have got a John Smith tattoo.
Speaker 2: I agree, way more appropriate. I'm not saying you can't
get a tattoo celebrating it.
Speaker 3: Just taking the heads of Turks, dude. Think of how
many ghosts John Smith created, so many.
Speaker 2: Allegian but he slept like a baby. He didn't care, no,
slept like and with a baby. He did sleep, but
like a twelve year old something like that.
Speaker 3: On a boat with I mean they ran train on
boghanas it's it's grim.
Speaker 2: It's not it's not a good story, not the life
you want. She didn't go to London, though she made it.
She was there at the same time as Shakespeare. Did
they cross baths.
Speaker 3: She married ral Freett.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, general. Yeah, so Henry's ghost is said
to haunt windsor Castle first and foremost.
Speaker 3: Also Shakespeare a person or a group.
Speaker 2: Shakespeare's actually four hundred people, so she met like twenty
Shakespeare's Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, according to fuck knows who,
it was a group of effort.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't one guy creating all that, but who cares.
Speaker 2: I think Shakespeare's just the showrunner. Yeah, I suppose it
would be funny if that's what Shakespeare really was. Like
he just ran a shop where a bunch of people wrote,
and people would try to like shit on him for
not having written that. When dudes like Michaelangelo and shit
carved so little of this stuff, we give them credit.
Speaker 3: For they finished a projects though certainly right they're the
last ones to chisel.
Speaker 2: I guess. But like they had straight up factories of
like forty people working. They designed it and had other
people like do a ton of work on it.
Speaker 3: Art gallery boys, yeah, art boys that they would do
other things too.
Speaker 2: It's not important.
Speaker 3: How about do you want this job?
Speaker 2: It's a different time.
Speaker 3: Is much like Hollywood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I say about Harvey Weinstein, like eight
years ago. It's a different time. The different time. Like
if I commit a crime and don't get caught until
four days from now, it's different.
Speaker 3: It was a different time.

Windsor Castle is where Henry the Eighth haunts the most.
It's considered one of the UK's most haunted spots. Actually,
it's home to over twenty five ghosts, including several tutors.
Henry's ghost is again the fat, obese version of him,
and he's usually he's usually seen dragging his dead leg
through the hallways and everything like that. He's breathing heavy,
like you can't move. He's been there, and he also
shouts a lot. He's a very angry man, as as
many dead wives would lead you to believe.
Speaker 3: That's also why he's out of breath, because he's yelling
the entire time, and he just he's so big it
takes a lot of energy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense. He does share that space with
his other wives, including Anne Boalyane and Jane Seymour. He's
sometimes seen with them.
Speaker 3: I imagine, not all of his wives, like.
Speaker 2: I would say, I can't think Ann does. But based
on that death speech, sounds like she loves him. It
seems it's a fifty to fifty problem.
Speaker 3: Sounds like she disappointed him. Yeah, and yeah, she was
totally cool.
Speaker 2: With the honestly the most ultimate battered wife story I've
ever heard. You don't understand. And he's so smart, and
it's just so much pressure to be so he works
so hard, he's under so much pressure.
Speaker 3: Toxic relationships.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really, it actually is in a very real
sense that Jenny and the political guy from Forrest Gump,
that guy's just under the pressure of politics constantly. Sometimes
you gotta smack Jenny around because of Richard Nixon.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, how many women got beat because of Richard Nixon.
Speaker 2: The limit does not exist.
Speaker 3: It was just an epidemic in the country when Nixon
was in office.
Speaker 2: For politicians. Certainly, I think, uh, gotta think there's a
lot of Antifa members smacking ladies because of Trump. But
if I want to go like overall, you gotta think
it's like the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: I think in philadelphia's just straight up and murder increases
when they lose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and decreases. I know you said there's no murders
for like a week after they won.
Speaker 3: If we won the Super Bowl, violent crimes go off.
Speaker 2: A cliff just plummet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone's happy.
Speaker 2: In a lot of ways. Jalen Hurts is holding lives
in his hand.
Speaker 3: So these last you know, a few weeks when we're
struggling lives are people died?
Speaker 2: People died. That's like if there's a close Iron Bowl.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if there's like the kick six cost lives just
means more pile.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Paul, the blood bath, Paul things I seen, Paul
angry husband's pole, sad Day Real tied.
Speaker 3: She's dead too. Who A lot of the callers for
a Fine Bomb die.
Speaker 2: We've been doing the show for like twenty years. Yeah,
and it's like old old people calling.
Speaker 3: In m dude being a ghost and calling into sports
stock graad Hill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pah pa. If that Fine Bomb show had any balls,
they would have a phyllis ghost.
Speaker 3: Call in every Halloween, say Hans. The souls of sports callers.
Speaker 2: It's just like a Ouiji board p a w l pow,
and then they ain't played. Nobody just fucking moves it around.
Another place that Henry has seen is the these cloisters
somewhere I don't even fucking know what it is, the
Dannery cloisters. They hear his footsteps it's mostly auditory, and
they hear his groans of pain. One of my favorite
encounters I read about was this woman who works in
the Royal Library. She would hear his ghost a lot
like heavy breathing, shouting because he was a dickhead, moaning
and is of course his dead leg being dragged across
the floor. Once while this person who worked there was
dusting alone. I think it was a woman dusting alone.
She looked around and she saw I guess what she like?
She just goes hey, looked lock. The actor Keith Mitchell
in the show Henry the Ife and his Six Wives.
I'm familiar with Keith Mitchell. It's just a British actor.
Speaker 3: In my mind, that's a pro golfer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds like it. It is.
Speaker 3: No, Keith Mitchell is a golfer, okay, fair enough. He's
a very mid golfer that wears Advisor and plays with
Josh Allen at the Pebble Beach program.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, apparently the nineteen seventies British TV series Henry
the Eighth and his Six Wives nailed what Henry the
Eighth looked like and Keith Mitchell in particular performance of
a Lifetime because this woman saw Henry the A's ghost
and was like, hey, looks just lock Keith Mitchell. Allegedly,
Queen Elizabeth I and her sister Prince Margaret have encountered
Henry the Ace ghosts several times when they were younger.
Speaker 3: Tootleitch, was it trying to give recommendations advice.
Speaker 4: He's just like behead Prince Andrew. It's probably for the best. Yeah,
should have followed what that ghost said. Trust me, cut
his head off now you don't want to know what
he does.
Speaker 2: The most notable account of Henry the Eighth again, this
was captured on Palace CCTV footage on whatever, a tall,
skeletal figure in a period dress dramatically opening and closing doors.
A visitor reported seeing the ghosts in the area. While
often dubbed quote unquote skeletor by the media, some attributing
to Henry due to the palace's tutor ties and his
historical presence there. The footage went viral. We actually have pictures.
You tell me what you think.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're making me do more work. Sweet thanks.
Speaker 2: Here's number one.
Speaker 3: First photo. H it's nothing.
Speaker 2: It's like, that's clearly a skeleton ghost.
Speaker 3: It's not clearly a Skelton.
Speaker 2: Obviously a skeleton ghost.
Speaker 3: If anything, it looks like Penny Wise.
Speaker 2: You know, same diff same ballpark.
Speaker 3: It's not even a figure, clear as day a skeleton ghost.
Then we have this.
Speaker 2: One was a tall bitch in twenty fifteen on an
iPhone a tall glass of water? Wasn't there? Allegedly tall
glass of water showed up in the photo. I think
wasn't there. How tall was she? She's a big Bitch's
just a weird ghost thing, dude, Ghosts can get freaky.
Speaker 3: She's like nine feet tall.
Speaker 2: Ghosts are weird like that. Have you ever seen the
Haunting of Hillhouse? No, that weird tall ghost that banged
his cane.
Speaker 3: What's this other photo? Just to show that there was
no ghost? Yeah, same spot. It's different photos though. Also,
I don't know you can photo shot this in all
legit two thousand.
Speaker 2: And three you're a hater. The first one's two thousand
and three, the later ones are like twenty fifteen years
of it. Oh dude, yeah, this isn't real. It's hella real.
Certainly not really shit I ever seen.
Speaker 3: It's just a banshee, your hater. Okay.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I like how they circled it though, like, yeah,
I know what I can see.
Speaker 3: It which one is the demon ghost?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can guess which one the demon ghost is.
And then real quick, we do have a couple of
Queen Victoria hauntings as well. Sure these ones also solid.
Queen Victoria died in nineteen oh one, but she was
really into spiritual stuff.
Speaker 3: Everyone was then. Yeah, occultism was huge, huge.
Speaker 2: I think she tried to say once her dead husband
Prince Albert a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet she was like inca hoots and talking
to Aleistair Crowley.
Speaker 2: Oh she was in all that shit everyone again, Like
you said, everyone was. That was that that type of
afterlife stuff was the bees knees for it was just
the social club you kind of. It was what do
you wanna do tonight? Oh, let's talk to the dead.
Speaker 3: M that's just two spells, all right, Yeah, but I
do that too. I'm about to go to the the
ren Fair in a couple of weeks. I'm essentially just
gonna dress up and you know, just role play and goof. Yeah,
that's what they did early nineteen hundreds, late eighteen hundreds,
just one big ren Fair.
Speaker 2: Literally they would like show up in like special like
funeral attire for it and get all weird cosplay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing's really changed, just just you know, it's different
flavors at this point.
Speaker 2: It is always different flavors. People have the same interests
over and over and over again.
Speaker 3: Simple creatures.
Speaker 2: We are.
Speaker 3: We're not really original. Unfortunately, I'm looking forward to that.
I might actually bring the equipment and record an episode
from the Renfair.
Speaker 2: Do it? Scott gonna be there?
Speaker 3: Yes, Scot's gonna be there. Oh yeah, So do you
want to come? When is it November seventh? Maybe the
weekend that weekend?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah maybe let me.
Speaker 3: Let me check my schedule see if you can. Okay,
could be it'd be fun to do a show from there.
We had this idea I was with Jay Bone and
Randy of doing a uh changed my mind medieval type thing.
Speaker 2: Oh that's funny, or like I just have like some
chicks stand by next to you me like she's a witch.
Changed my mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do that. Yeah, workshops and things.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: In nineteen thirty six, Edward the Eighth's partner ordered the
removal of spruce trees that Victoria had planted with Prince
Albert at Windsor Castle. When the team showed up, her
ghost appeared and started fucking screaming at them to get
the fuck out of there because those were her special trees.
Speaker 3: Always a bummer when somebody else shows up. It's like,
come on, dude, I'm.
Speaker 2: Especially for me, especially to cut down in your entire
special me time area.
Speaker 3: Don't do that to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well the crew was like and just ran off.
Yeah I have to Yeah. In nineteen ninety two, there
was a fire at Windsor Castle and they had to
do a bunch of renovations. Over one hundred rooms were damaged,
and workers reported seeing Queen Victoria's operation multiple times. She
appeared to just be there supervising. If she liked something,
she would nod approvingly. If she didn't like something, she
would get angry and move tools or make the lights flicker.
Speaker 3: I like that, Yeah, just working the job site. Yeah,
she's a foreman, just telling people what to do. At
least she's getting some work in the afterlife.
Speaker 2: That's all she's doing. All of her stories are working.
Speaker 3: You hear that dead beats literally to myself as well.
Grind culture right there, like.
Speaker 2: Truly, that's all they do. I'll too. So in the
Osbourne House on the Isle of Right, it was a
mansion that they designed as sort of like an escape
for them on the sea. On the sea, it's actually
where Victoria died. I guess you can still have events
there like weddings and other stuff like that, like conferences
and events. Staff have reported hearing a sharp, authoritative voice
that they recognize as Victoria's giving commands like move it
to the left, or the flowers need more water while
they're setting up for tours or receptions. Furniture, she would know.
Furniture moves itself to be repositioned for better balance, and
they've said that every time the furniture has moved, it's
straighter or better balanced than it was before.
Speaker 3: Listen all these period pieces that Netflix does, HBO does.
I think they should hire her ghost as a consultant.
Speaker 2: As an advisor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I mean she's gonna get all the setting,
all the decoration accurate. It's gonna know better, gonna nail it.
Speaker 2: Helen Murphy, an event coordinator there, has seen tables shifting
during a wedding setup and she was like they looked
better after, Yeah, like they'd straight up look better.
Speaker 3: Helpful ghost.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And in Windsor Great Park, England, they've seen Albert.
He's like, they plan a bunch of.
Speaker 3: That's her penance. Actually, She's like, I have to make
other people's weddings look better for me to get to heaven.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know whose weddings she ruined, but she
that's how she's getting there, one at a time. A
deathly wedding planner, Prince Albert, He examines these oak trees
that they plan together in the eighteen fifties. In two
thousand and eight, park ranger Kevin Thompson saw him among
the oaks. Albert smiled at him peacefully and then faded away.
The trees in question do really well, like better than
they should in terms of health and stuff like that.
And when they do mount patrols through there, the horses
will get spooked randomly at certain spots that they have
no eason to get spooked at and be like, I
don't want to go here. It's weird.
Speaker 3: Animals seem to always have a connection with the supernatural
or even the the weather and stuff too.
Speaker 2: It's like almost like an electro magnetic. They just sense things.
Speaker 3: They have a sixth sense. Yeah, dogs start running off
before a big storm comes through. Yeah, lose their minds.
All the animals go for a higher ground tsunami's about
to hit.
Speaker 2: Whereas humans are just like good odd, the wave is crazy.
Speaker 3: The ocean's way far back, dude, dude, Yeah, what the
fuck ocean, I can walk out ocean not having it today, Man,
fucking I wanted to swim right here.
Speaker 2: Ocean's like nah, you know yah. Fuck.
Speaker 3: This is our impression of people from Sri Lanka.
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of tourists got it in. I forget
where it was, but that whole movie about it. It's
about Taurus with fucking top and you and McGregor. Sweet dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah shit, dude, shit, I'm trying to catch a wave
the day bro.
Speaker 2: Dude, ocean said, Noah, Man, oceans fucking one about it.
Speaker 3: It's like super notcholl damn, dude, fucking I'm just trying
to hit some skeazy ways.
Speaker 2: Bro. It's my favorite story from that tsunami will forever
be the scuba divers who came up and were like,
oh my god.
Speaker 3: Well we can find more things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't notice it apparently when I guess
you know, when you're underwater fifty feet underwater certainly, So
they came up and they were like what the fuck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But when it all kind of clears out, imagine
the guy walking the beach with the metal detector.
Speaker 2: Doesn't even have to dig, it's just a gold mine.
You're just moving wood up a side of that point,
just kicking it out of the way, and you're like, oh,
I found a dead body with a Rolex hooray. Do
you take it? Yeah? I mean it's not gonna serve him.
What's he he knows what time it is. I can't
save him. Yeah, I can send myself. Well that's all
I got today for the ghosts of kings and queens
of Yeah, mostly Henry.
Speaker 3: Mostly Henry, A lot of ann Baddie baddie right or
die good Lord went to the grave defending that man's penis.
Speaker 2: I swear, Yeah, he has a very big penis. That
boys should come out of it. It's my fault. Got
a very dumb vagina. As a woman. I didn't follow
instructions good enough. And you should. God save the king
and you should love him forever. That's what I learned today.
They don't make them like they used to. They don't.
Speaker 3: They don't women used to take responsibility.
Speaker 2: These hoes ain't loyal.
Speaker 3: They're for the streets. Future has been trying to warn us.
That's why his name is Future. Yeah, we should have
known he has a prophet. We should have known who's
in the game. I suppose the British, even post death,
try to remain.
Speaker 2: In the game. These aren't the only English ghosts, like
English royal ghosts, but these are just the best, like
recorded hauntings.
Speaker 3: But Elizabeth the First, these are the only ghost you
you got to with your your SEO search.
Speaker 2: Uh No, I got. I had other stuff, but it
was just less like. King George the Third of American
Revolutionary War fame does some haunting as well, not as good,
especially since he was insane. I thought they'd do better stuff,
but there just isn't.
Speaker 3: He's just really mad about tea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Elizabeth the First has some sightings stuff, like that.
But yeah, for the most part, these these three were
the best.
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't know he had a dead leg,
so that that was news to me as well. So nice,
a little information, little tidbit, a little fun fact. Ye
I go home with I'm already home, but now I
have a fun fact to stay home.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 3: Did Henry really accomplish much? Yeah, it kind of seems
like he was a you know, compared to his dad.
I guess you can't.
Speaker 2: Really he made the church independent of or made the
country independent of the Catholic Church.
Speaker 3: I get that he really put the Protestants on the map.
I suppose.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think a lot of colonialism or some colonialism
might have happened under him as well.
Speaker 3: And that's why I kind of checked out on him.
Do got rid of the Catholics?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I agree, that's again we're here for the church.
Speaker 2: The only reason I don't like about him.
Speaker 3: God save the funny hat.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But he uh yeah, he invaded France.
Speaker 3: I mean that's just calming. Yeah yeah, yeah for an Englishman. Yeah,
I think that's required.
Speaker 2: It pretty much is check a box and they you know,
I assume uh stuff was set up in the New
World under him as well, but who knows. Uh, he
was certainly alive during.
Speaker 3: Any British people that randomly came across this video. I'm
wture they're screaming ass right. No, I don't care.
Speaker 2: That not my fucking country, dude, I don't care, don't care.
Speaker 3: I do like England though, for the most part, seems cool.
