Welcome back to Finn versus History.
We're joined by the modern day, Henry VIII.
Many have said that.
Jamie Hutchinson.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for coming on.
Oh, thanks.
I mean, where were you born?
I was born in St. Mary's Hospital.
Right.
Forceps.
What's that?
Squashed head.
Right.
Because my mom had a tight cunt back there.
Where you got went?
Yeah.
22.
She was 22.
She was 22.
So big head tight cunt.
That's a devastating cock.
Yeah.
the name of my own
your middle names
yeah I was
a conception gone wrong
I was a very accidental birth
right
when you say very
I was a pull out
and I was like the last sperm left
oh wow
hat under the door
what does that pull out me
oh come on
what
oh you mean oh sorry sexually
I thought it was a terrible
yeah but
remember I had flaps like a Venus fire trap
right right so I was like
Magnetic perm.
There's a sort of thing with curtains
where I saw them a bit of versed of curtains.
Do you think it's a Freudian thing?
Yeah, because I think all my
would-be brothers and sisters got smeared on a curtain.
So it reminds you of the genocide.
And it reminds me of the mass genocide of 90-nighter.
Are you implying that you're one of the slower sperm somehow?
I was just the last one, so I like a fucking disabled race,
so I was the last one left.
All the laziest one, we don't know.
The ones with Down syndrome, they were far ahead.
sort of got lost to the egg.
I got lost to the egg.
I just found me where you're here.
So in many ways,
heard of the eighth.
I guess.
No, I think, well,
I think Jamie,
if,
for people who don't know,
Jamie's sort of like
the UK podcast scene
original Ronaldo.
Yeah.
Just out of nowhere.
Yeah.
Pulling out the most insane
gambling story you've ever heard.
Yeah.
His career will be ruined by injury.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And this is you at peak finish.
I love,
I love our Brazilian love life,
do what I mean?
Yeah.
You know what I'd be like the original
Ronaldo just fucking looking after
yourself and that. Yeah, yeah. You've got to be
fucking living your life. Probably Brazilian way
of podcasting. Yeah.
A short, brilliant career. Yeah.
It's way early than it should because of your love for big benders.
But Jamie, you probably live the closest to
Henry the 8th of anyone I know.
Oh, right. Certainly.
Yeah. But I guess after the accident?
Yes. Yeah.
There was a devastating accident in Henry.
It's life that completely changed his headspace.
I guess you had that out the gate.
Yes. And also, but had none of the accident.
wealth and power or royal lineage.
I think that's what's interesting.
That's what's related about Henry VIII
is he had all the power,
nobility, but he was just a fucking...
If he wasn't that, he would just be you.
Yeah, he was.
That's what I mean,
do we see that's a blessing of a curse?
It's hard to say, in it?
It's a velvet glove.
There's both.
So we left off.
Now, Jamie, I don't know how into history you are.
You strike me as someone
who actually knows a bit more than you let on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a facade for financial gain.
Yeah.
I'm actually
I'm an Oxford student
Yeah
Oh in 10 years
You will be every Oxford student
The way it's going
Yeah
In the break
He's actually Malala
He's the dean
It's in a Malala
So
Presumably you're aware of Henry the 8th
Yeah
You've heard of them
Yeah
Six wives
Faf ass
Yeah
Wided a kid
Yeah
Yeah
Hated the Pope
Couldn't stand him
Hated the Pope
Yeah
I imagine
So in our first part
We dealt with
Henry had been married to a Spanish woman
Catherine of Aragon
cunt's fucked
not producing boys
that's her fault
in this day and age
it's not a tragedy
it's not his fault
it's not his fault
and people don't say that enough
Henry it's not your fault
if you got told that
you wouldn't have done all this sort of stuff
well if there was a kind of mental health movement
then he would be saying
Henry it's not your fault
it's not your fault
until he cried
yes
you know yeah
it's her fault
it's her fault.
So he had taken out
his frustration
by trying to invade France
that hadn't worked
which is not an option
for men these days
no it's better help
which yeah
it's like an anxiety dog
or something like that
and before you could
invade France
which felt like a healthier way
to get your...
There's more dignity
invading France
than sign up to bear help
yes there is
yes there is
they surrendered their
fucking sponsorship
quicker than the French
anyway with our podcast
yes we only did one
yeah I said
if you're too much of a pussy
to do it
join better help
and they said have fun with the script
yeah
cowards
their idea of fun is very different to yours
yeah
their idea of fun is not killing yourself
right no yeah
fuck better help
invade France
yeah
this podcast is sponsored by
invade France
dot com
now he'd met amblin
who
as we can see
generational cocktees
generational
yeah the bluest balls
anyone's ever had
oh mate
that French poor self
man tripped
been for generations.
She had been to France, actually.
We haven't talked about it.
That's part where she'd learn these sort of...
These tricks.
These wisely ways.
Yes.
She'd been smoking rollies.
She'd probably come back with a sharp fringe.
Yes.
She'd lost a sense of humor.
That's very alluring in a woman, isn't it?
A woman who you can't make laugh.
Yes.
What's going on there?
What's going on there?
Are you too smart with me or are you a bit slow?
I can't work it out.
One of those ones.
I want to find out.
Yeah.
So by the mid...
Who's that?
Charlie?
That's an AI.
Is it?
I think so, yeah.
What do we think of that, Jamie?
She's a bit of fitting.
She's got a bit of a tash, though.
Yeah.
She's got a man's mouth.
The women in this day and age were probably pretty hairy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't mind a hairy woman, but mainly on the, like the, like the, like, did you just
make that?
I didn't make that.
No.
No.
I wish I did.
But his other ones were quite fair-haired, so I think he liked that little bit of, a bit of
different.
Bit of danger.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, again, he was not, you know, he was.
not a million miles from yourself.
Oh, we go to danger, yeah.
Sorry?
We go to danger.
Yes.
What is it?
Is it all diet?
Is the reason everyone looks like this
just completely because of diet?
Looks like what?
Just kind of everyone looks a bit.
I guess you didn't have,
you didn't have a moisturiser.
Plus,
had to stand still for so long for the portrait.
They didn't really smile.
Like when photography first come out,
that's why everyone looked like a miserable combat then.
Yeah.
Just can't smile for three hours.
Yeah, exactly.
And now photos are so easy
that everyone's like,
Yeah.
Yeah, you couldn't be like, yeah, in a painting, that's true.
A comedian headshot.
Or if you get a bollick out in a group photo,
it's not as cool if you're like, he had to wait there for six hours.
For four hours with his bollock out.
Yeah.
For four hours.
So by the 1520s,
Henry's reign is completely consumed by just he's so fucking thirsty for this Anbelin girl.
Give the man a drink.
Give him, let him have a bit of pussy.
He's in the desert.
Lead a monarch to water.
And he's obviously, he's desperate for a son because...
Gay.
Interesting, this is a, he's a radical story.
A new, a new talking head.
Radical new retelling of the story.
I think there's a Freudian thing about leaving everything to a son
and he had a bit of an obsession with like male prowess and stuff.
To a point of, I think he was.
He was a bit of an athlete
wanting way back when.
He was.
So, wanting a son is gay.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's great to get these other.
Really repressed gay
where he comes out as really hyper,
heterosexual.
I mean, he's wearing these sort of gams.
I don't know how repressed that is.
Well, this is a very gay time.
Yes.
Aesthetically.
Also, let's be honest,
he didn't last long with the women.
I wonder what?
No.
He gets like, what's wrong with this one?
What's wrong with this one?
He couldn't come.
What's wrong?
It's not a bloke.
This is a blow.
This is a.
radical new theory.
Next.
Next.
There's something wrong.
I don't know.
They just don't feel right.
They're boring.
There's all the fucking...
Small God.
It's like one of those like,
I'm so straight.
I'm fucking bloke, man.
Yeah.
Well, it's sort of the straightest thing
you can do in a way.
Yeah.
To prove you're not gay.
You have to.
It's to fuck a bloke.
Yeah.
And not enjoy it.
Get into a relationship
with a man for 60 years.
Yeah.
Deep undercover.
Deep.
Deep.
Charlie, your balls have been on the screen for about 10 minutes.
Can you get rid of them?
The United States is the weirdest country in the world right now
And it doesn't make any sense to anyone
No, it doesn't, but I want to make it a bit less confusing
Oh, I do.
Good.
Well, our podcast can help.
It's called American Friction, and it's out every Monday and Friday.
We discuss all the big news from across the pond
And explain it all with world-leading experts.
That's American Friction.
Listen, right now, wherever you get your podcast.
Right now.
American Friction.
So he's so horny for Ambulin
that he basically, who is, as we said,
just not putting out at all.
And what's fascinating about history
is that this one woman keeping her legs shut
is the reason why we are all Anglican
and we have a Navy.
and an empire.
Isn't that phenomenal?
Yeah, one woman
with a bit of dignity.
Yeah.
If it's Bonnie Blue back then,
which is the opposite,
but I guess that's...
Bonnie Blue Bulls?
Yeah,
if Bonnie Blue had been
in Berlin,
Northern Ireland would be fine.
Yeah.
Isn't that mad?
So would Peter Filia.
Yeah, we'd have different problems.
I feel we'd have different...
Yes, it would.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all sorted.
He, yes, he fears instability
of the War of the Roses.
Don't know how across the War of the Roses are.
That's girl stuff.
Yeah, yeah, Lancashire, Yorkshire.
All that nonsense.
So carries on in cricket, I think.
Yeah, is there much, like, play of that in the north these days?
Well, not where I'm from.
I mean, it might be like rural Lancashire.
Yeah.
But Manchester don't view themselves as Lancasterians.
Is that not?
No, I mean, our famous motto is, like, we do things differently, don't we?
So it's a bit tedious.
Like, we don't want to associate with anyone, sort of thing.
Is that the whole motto that?
Yeah, yeah, we do things different.
You don't really see it.
I'm not saying it's better.
It's different.
But you're very Mank, aren't you?
Like, that's a different breed, I'd say, to Lancasterian.
Yeah, that's what I mean, yeah.
Jamie Hutchinson, Comet, Lancasterian doesn't really say you are.
You're a Mank.
Yeah, you know.
A bit different.
I think we're sort of, what I'm obviously, with Liverpool, rather than.
Scouts versus Manks.
Very distinctive, very different Scouts as Manks, to be fair.
To be right next to each other.
Yeah, like, sort of cousins that might peck at a wedding.
I like Mank's a lot more depressed than Scouts.
I appreciate that.
It makes them less annoying, I think.
Yes, yeah.
Manx don't have the superiority complex.
No.
Yeah.
Because from where we're sitting,
ultimately it's all just wasted come
on some big, big flappy piss flaps.
Yeah, I accepted that.
Yeah.
I don't buy into the courts.
I don't look, we're wasted corn.
Yeah.
As soon as you get to terms of that,
you accept you wasted cum,
you can live a happy life.
You can still live your life
and wasted corn.
Yeah.
Well, if only...
You're all after a cheats of,
your goals.
If only Henry
the 8th
had this
attitude
because famously
he didn't.
Yeah.
No.
So he gets
into reading
the Bible,
Leviticus.
Now,
there's this
political deadlock
where he goes,
he gets his
Cardinal Walsy
to try and get
the Pope
to an owl
like a euphemism
but he gets
his mate,
Cardinal Walsy
to try and
annul the marriage
in England,
but he asked
the Pope,
but then the Pope
gets,
is being held
hostage by Charles
the 5th
who is
Catherine of Aragon's uncle
Most powerful man in the world
Nephew, nephew
Right
Get a photo of Charles the fifth up Charlie
Because this is our friend
Who probably looks the most clapped
Of any
Yeah
Look at that
Look at that
Go down
That one there
Oh he looks
Yeah
Look at that
That's a good
That's a devil gurner
Dance player
Davle Gurner
Is that a darts reference
Yeah
Double Gerner
Yeah
Wow.
There you go.
Wow.
So this is the most powerful man in the world.
Stupid chin.
Direct descendant from Charles Ophirth.
So he's basically, he's Catherine's nephew.
And then he is holding the Pope hostage,
which means that the Pope can't,
obviously Charles Fifth doesn't want the divorce to happen.
So, and then Catherine, like, storms into a court
and goes on his knees, gets on her knees and is like,
Henry.
What now, love?
It's over.
Well, I know.
That's what Henry's basically saying.
That's not going to get me a boy.
Bit late for that.
Come on, where was this 10 years ago?
No, she gets on her knees and pleads with him and weeps.
And she's like, was I not a good husband?
And basically storms out.
And he had a whole court set up to basically be like, you know,
a jury of your peers decided your family's broken.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're done.
And then she basically, she's an uppity woman.
Yes.
It's a series of uppity women.
But one of the appeals of Henry is.
he does use the privilege of being,
he uses every privilege of being king.
Yes.
There is a level of respect you have to give.
He's not,
he's not cunning or weasily.
It's all out there.
No.
It's the same respect you give to Clarkson, right?
Clarkson's not plotting.
No.
He's ploughing.
Clarkson does not think.
He acts.
He does not wipe.
He shits.
All right?
He's all littered brain.
I don't think he's ever farted.
I think he's only ever shat.
Every fart.
He follows through.
No, no.
He wouldn't acknowledge it as a fart.
Yeah, yeah.
Clarkson just walking shitting.
Like a horse.
Like a horse.
He's a horse.
It's a horse just plowing the fields.
Right?
That's why he's out to pasture now.
But yeah,
Henry the 8th is just a lizard brain in a cloak, right?
It's just, can I fuck it or eat it?
I'm not interested.
I'm not interested in.
Yeah.
So, now Walsie is a very interesting character, actually,
because Walsh is a proper snob.
He was the guy who used to walk,
when he walked through, like, a sort of poor area,
he'd have an orange with cloves in it,
soaked in vinegar.
so he didn't smell poor people's breath.
Yeah.
But he was a poor person himself.
So I guess it's trying to...
Oh, the new money, yeah.
Yeah.
He is new money.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
My auntie did that because she married a man who had his own barbecue.
So she thought she was like,
hi, Mike, because we were all tramps and that.
Right.
And when they had a barbecue and they invited friends around,
she sold me, Mom, not to speak in her accent around her new friends
because she had friends from Derbyshire.
Right. God, it is a different world.
That's all...
That new money. That's why
Mickey Carroll, you respect more.
Because when he won the lottery,
he just like quad bikes in the garden.
I know Mickey Carroll.
I know Michael...
Sorry, Michael Carroll.
Mickey Carroll, mate.
He's a guy who lost it all again, right?
Yeah.
And he went back to his job being a fucking pushing trolleys
and Sainsbury's car park.
Yeah, with a fleece that he wrote.
Here's how I spent my tour money.
I just went.
I'm fucking going all out.
I'm not going to try and be...
Look at that.
That is proper.
Yeah.
That is how you spend your money
when you new money.
You don't start...
Yeah, don't try and think you're better
than other people.
Yeah, you can't call Mickey Carroll pretentious.
That's him now.
Back to his job.
He really accepted it.
He went, yeah, I'm what?
Yeah.
I live like a fucking king for a year.
Was it just a year?
50 million a year.
50 million in a year.
But his tax bill will be...
Or is it tax free?
I think it's a lot of it.
It's a tax on the poor.
Of course
purchase
I can really start
a lottery
How's your gambling at the minute
Up and down
Yeah
Because you're just doing tour at the moment
Yeah
So the money hasn't come in for the tour
Yeah
Well I get paid as a call
Yeah
You get paid as you go
You can't be trusted with big chunks
I could die anymore
Yeah
I don't want to wrench myself
Right
When there's horses to be backed
Yeah
If you got a guarantee
You wouldn't make the tour
No
No no
If you got paid in advance
No
I get paid ads ago.
That one's done.
It's carried, isn't it?
You've got to be led to each year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They leave a trail of coins.
I'm not doing all that fucking work
to get paid at the end.
What's the cash going?
What's the big, where's most of your money going?
If there's an accountant looking through your records,
what would he be said?
Personal expenses.
If Cardinal Wars is going through your expenses,
what's he seeing?
What's he saying?
What's he highlighting saying?
Do we need a lot of them?
A lot of transactions to Gibraltar-based businesses.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you have an account, do you have an account, actually?
Here we go.
A part of an ass.
I was, uh, I obviously didn't what, I pissed my money away?
In the Ferguson sense?
Yeah.
Right, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, bought a ass.
And it's not been named yet.
And it's, uh...
Explain to me, what would you mean?
So, how, how, in what sense you bought a horse?
It's not in your garden.
No, about 10% of a horse.
Sorry, on 10% of race.
So, okay, it's already gone down.
Yeah.
So you haven't bought a horse.
I bought 10% of a horse.
He bought his ass.
With nine other owners,
she's a gorgeous filly,
out of Jack Hobbs.
You get a photo?
Did you get to ride it or is it?
Jack Hobbs, the site.
No,
I get to like feed it carrots.
Oh, nice.
It sounds like you work at a stables more than you now.
Is this like adopting a well in a third world country?
Is that what it is?
And what returns can one get from the investment of 10% of a horse?
I own 10% of it.
An old family racing syndicate, I think it's called, or racing club.
Right.
So, yeah, basically you have a two-year contract.
Right.
So it's like $6,000 up front of then $3.50 a month.
Right.
But in two years, it gets valued again.
So it's like Bitcoin.
So you can sell your 10%.
Do horses increase their value?
Oh yeah, yeah, if she's good, yeah.
What is if she just dies?
Is that just...
Yeah, I didn't get insurance because I back her.
Wow. Okay.
So, yeah, do you,
the worst case scenario, you just get,
you wake up when morning there's a load of glue on your doorstep.
I know.
I get 10% of the glue contract.
Yeah, we got a lot of pristakes to the door.
Right.
So is she racing yet?
No, she'll be racing in November time, I think.
She's out for summer.
She's having a summer break.
Right.
And she'll be back in November.
You're going to bet on.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to back your own horse.
You've got a back your own horse.
Unless the jockey, she's going to bet on November.
says it's shite and then I'll do some jiggery, some jiggery poker, yeah.
McAvelian sort of.
Or inside the horse trading?
Well, hopefully, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
See, I put some money into whiskey.
Right.
Yeah.
Because it will age and then you just sell it on.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
But it's not a money pit.
No, but you see in a horse run, it's more tangible, isn't it,
than see a whiskey mature?
Yes.
Yeah, but I guess that's a different attention span, isn't it?
Different ashes to money, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I need a...
You need to feel like...
I need the dopamine hit.
Yeah.
It's so Protestant
that entertainment for him
is watching his whiskey mature in the barrel.
Yeah.
You'll just watch that.
Watch it.
And just seeing the money add up in my head.
That's absolutely brilliant, that.
Absolutely brilliant.
So in 1531,
Catherine of Aragon refuses to accept the annulment.
Sorry, love.
Not sure this is up to you, love.
Stobborn, bitch.
Now, this backs Henry into a course.
corner. He's back to the corner. He has to act. Yeah. And so because Cardinal Walsy had tried to
deal with this reasonably, domestically, didn't want to get the Pope involved. Yes. But he fails.
He's trying to do a soft Brexit basically. The shitbag. He is a shit bag. Yeah. So you don't like
Walsey. Too much thinking. I think he's a shit. I was too much thinking. Too much trying to be
little finger from game of folds. Yeah. Yeah. But he's not got the source for it. Yeah. Yeah.
What's the kids say?
So Walsy, his downfall occurs in 1529.
He is charged with treason, I think.
Or what's it called?
Preymenure, which means placing the Pope above the king.
So he is executed in 1529.
No, he's not.
He dies on the way.
He does not.
Oh, fuck, of course.
He does all the way to trial, right?
Yeah, dies on the way.
Yeah.
So he just has a arse time.
He probably would have got executed.
I fucking thinger.
What's his face?
Oswald
Pops before trial
Oswald Mosley
No
Oli Harvey Oswald
Yeah yeah yeah
Before he was
Saville died before trial
Well
He died before everything
He wasn't he wasn't
He was never charged
What was Saville's funeral like
Did he have a national
Yeah
It was a state funeral
Quite right
He was lying in state
He was for years
Did we dig him up?
We should
He got exhumed
And
Where's he
He got spread, I think, like
Che Guevara.
Yeah, because he needs...
He should have been lauded him into the war.
No, no, no.
No, he needs to be all over the country.
Every country...
Every country needs a part of it.
He was never charged with anything.
I think every county had a bowl.
Innocent or proven guilty?
Yes, and he dies.
Don't speak ill of the dead.
True.
I'm sorry.
He was never proved.
It was never proved.
Okay.
Yeah.
Anyway.
We haven't heard his side of the story.
We don't know.
We don't know his side of the story.
They might have been...
We don't have been...
We don't know what they're wearing either.
So Walsy dies of dysentery, we think.
So he shits himself on the way to trial.
Fair enough.
It's a very English way to go out like that.
Yeah.
Claxon's going to go out like that.
Oh, 100%.
Yeah.
I mean, it's devastating.
It's scary to think what he'll look like as an 80-year-old man
in that he's currently in his, I think, his late 50s.
Yeah.
And he looks like a cliff face.
Oh, it's old than that.
64, Clarkson.
Do you think?
Yeah.
And he's maybe early 16.
So I think he's about the same age as Simon Cowell.
Who looks better?
I think Clarkson looks better than Simon Cowell.
I'm picking.
You know, it's two ends of the spectrum.
I'm keen.
Simon Carls looks more like finger.
That Falklands Radiator guy.
Simon Weston?
Yeah.
His final words,
Walsey,
had I but served God as diligently as I have done the king,
he would not have given me over in my grey hairs.
So as he makes way,
Thomas Cromwell,
friend of the show,
comes into the picture.
I have a soft spot for Cromwell.
I like Cromwell.
Now this is Oliver Cromwell's
great, great, great uncle.
Yeah.
Thomas Cromwell
is a blacksmith, he's from a blacksmith
background.
And he worked for Woolsey and they were close friends.
He was a man.
Yeah.
And he's like the man in black.
He's like his sort of FBI.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's got data on everyone.
He's got spies everywhere.
Well, he was a man of the people
back in the day, on it?
So he's got word of the street
where Walsley was more,
you know, having his orange full of garlic
and that.
He was actually a street urchin.
Yeah, Walsie was a hedonist.
Yes, he was.
He had the air of the people, I think.
And so he...
But there's also a different,
sorry, Walsy was a big Catholic
who supported the Pope
and lived like one.
And Cromwell was kind of the architect
of the Reformation,
who was Protestant,
he'd spoken to a lot of people
who had come from Swiss, Calvin, that lot.
Cromwell didn't really give a fuck.
He just wanted, he just wanted to use the law
to make the king.
He just wanted to be close to the king.
He was like a revolutionary, actually.
Yeah, he's like Blair and Bush.
He's like, I'll just make it work.
I've got to be, I've got to stay close to George.
Right, yeah.
Cromwell's like, whatever the king wants, I'll make it happen.
Yeah.
So, um, uh, he basically starts the Reformation Parliament in 1529, which is, I didn't realize,
because obviously you learn all this stuff of school.
I didn't realize that this whole fucking thing got on for like six years.
Yeah.
It's six years of him being like, please just fucking touch it.
Yeah.
And Anne's like, yeah.
Yeah.
You get in there.
Talk to it.
So the Reformation Parliament,
I mean,
is this like the most powerful
Parliament has been at this point?
Well, we're getting to that point
because the whole break from Rome
is bringing you back to the sanctity of Parliament
being the way you can decide things.
It's the birth of Brexit.
Yeah, Red Tate. Let's decide it in
West Windsor not Brussels.
Exactly.
Not in Rome.
Not in the EU, birth of that.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I'm listening.
Yeah.
E-U-S-S-R.
So there are several acts
the Reformation Parliament passes.
One of the funniest is the
1533 Buggery Act.
Yes.
What is the...
Let's get the actual law.
Cromwell decrees.
This is one of the first
British Parliament's sovereign decisions
is to outlaw
buggery, which is an unnatural sexual
act against the will of God and man.
Anal sex and beastiality.
This has been handled
by the Catholic Church previously.
The bestial guys are like enjoying themselves.
This is just about gay people.
And the outlaw and that, it's like, well, fucking hell.
Christ.
I know they're fucking sinning, but can a man not shag his own pig?
Female pig?
And then the first person executed under the buggery act,
Walter Hungerford, say his name.
Say his name.
For raping his daughter.
I didn't know that.
The Tudor Fritzel,
1533.
Now the first person charged for violating the act of
alone was the headmaster of Eaton in 1541.
Which is not that different.
Exactly.
And he was just given a year in prison and then becomes headmaster of Westminster.
So it gets almost a promotion.
Yes, he does get in the question.
Yeah, delayed promotion.
And this is not repealed, the Buggery Act, until 2004.
Really?
In Blair's fire sale of liberal policies, the buggery act is repealed.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
So what is the, so it means you can't, you can fuck pigs now?
Yeah.
Blair said fuck your pigs.
Blair has let us fuck pigs.
Yeah.
What does it actually mean?
We know that John Major legalized sodomy.
Yes.
That was in the 90s.
But I don't know what the difference is sodomy and buggery.
Buggery is, is anal sex.
Yeah.
I thought Sodom is putting a remote up him or something.
I think anything up there is like an object.
I imagine that buggery, that beastiality became its own law.
I don't think they illegalized beastiality.
It wasn't fully abolished
Did he hide that amongst all the Shaw's start and everything?
I'd miss that if
Beastiality is...
It removed the distinction between genders
and simplified sexual offences.
What's the difference between Boggery and Sodomah?
Yeah, let's get that up.
That's good.
Buggery is a specific narrower legal term
primarily used in English.
Aal intercourse and beastality.
Right.
Sodomy is a broader term.
It's like a blanket term.
Which you conclude oral sex.
Yeah, going down the woman is Sodomy.
Yeah.
Right.
Especially at certain times of the moment,
that's...
Yes.
biblical
Sodom
whereas
buggery is
anal and
and beastiality
great word
bogery as well
yeah
so sodomy's in the
Bible
buggery is like a
old big
Middle English
it's a British thing
yeah
to get bugged
at board
in school
getting bogged
on the cricket
green
yeah
that is British
this is more
our world
than British
it can be
yeah
yeah
scons
tea
getting fucked up
up the ass
by a cricket
ump
Lawn balls after all that
Scoring shed
Yes
Yeah
In the scoring shed
I swear
We're not banging the scores
Going up
I'm being hit for six
In the pavilion
So then
The actress supremacy is the big one
1534
That's the final break with Rome
Fuck the Pope
We should place this
Shouldn't we
We should place
Jamie I don't know
If you've listened
To the pub before
We like to place years
Yeah
So just name us something
That happened before
1534
and something happened afterwards could be anything uh battle of Hastings yeah that's before
after uh jfk assassination terrific yeah a lovely thousand years week there
bang in the middle between the battle hastings similar yeah similar length difference though yeah well
very nice from each other i don't which one is that closer to i don't
tern 66 and then 963 so it's slightly close to jfk the battle of hastings it really does
it really does our listeners are very very thick they will suddenly have a lot right there lovely
Although we say that a lot, but I imagine, you know,
your podcasts, I imagine your listeners are pretty depraved.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I'd imagine so, yeah.
Yeah, collective IQ of audiences.
We were saying that, you know, you got your own things,
but maybe Sandro's, you look down on Sandra's audience a little bit.
Well, not look down, I think mine might be more discerning.
But what does that, I don't know what that means, more discerning.
What would your, what a discerning, more,
that's their classier, technically.
appreciate more craft me, but that's...
They appreciate the higher things in life.
Yeah, we've got a lot of crossover.
But having kicked in South Wales,
that's like a, that's a tasty place.
Sure.
Yeah.
That's a tasty old place there.
Yeah.
I guess it's, you know,
it's the anecdotes,
the crafted anecdote of the pissette.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Versus versus the just filming yourself being a pissette.
Yeah.
That's kind of the different.
Yeah, my, I think mine's for...
You're the poet's piss head.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Weatherspoon, SunTrust Thompson was called.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's nice.
What have you found, Charlie?
That's quite interesting.
If you had a thousand men with IQ of one each, they could not manage to go to the shop.
So in, yeah.
AIC is pretty definitive on that.
Well, an IQ of one signifies an almost total absence of cerebral cortex function, meaning that it's kind of
vegetative state stuff.
But they might be able to smile at each other.
I think they'll just be set out.
What was the minimum IQ you need to smile?
Yeah.
But I mean, there's a thousand of these guys.
But I guess in your head, Charlie,
you think you could add up that's a thousand IQ technically.
I'm just thinking maybe they could just encourage each other.
No, it's not a thousand really thick people.
So it's actually a burden.
I just thought maybe if they work together,
minimum IQ to be able to smile sincerely.
Because you can be like, smug.
Yeah.
All right, they could smile.
They might, they'll be smiling,
but they wouldn't be able to go to the shop.
They wouldn't be smiling.
Yeah.
Interesting.
There's no minimum IQ required to smile.
But yeah, a thousand people with one IQ though, that's just a thousand more patrons.
Yep, you only need one IQ to subscribe to this patron.
I don't know where you've got three pounds a month from, but give it to us.
Takes 10 to cancel.
So once they're in, they're not going out.
Yeah.
That's why we've got so many.
We've got the sweet spot where they're thick enough to join.
but not clever enough to leave
it's a mouse trap
similar to DeZone
I don't know how to leave DeZone
Oh the boxing
Yeah I paid it for a fight
Six months ago
Yeah
I'm sorry 25 going to work
I don't know how to leave
So I'm staring
I'm snaring but I can't leave
DeZone
Yeah
That's how they get you
Let me leave Eddie

No, it doesn't, but want to make it a bit less confusing.
Oh, I do.
Good.

American Friction!
So, Thomas Cranler becomes Archbishop McCampere in 5033, but by 1533,
but by 1534, Henry has become head of the Church of England.
Yeah.
Rome has fallen.
Thank God for that.
Yeah.
The country takes a different path and he's finally free to start raw dogging and Berlin.
Yeah.
The pressure on that.
She's getting a sackful.
Yeah.
The problem is, though, is that as we were saying in the first episode,
too much pressure.
The horny you are, it just cannot live up.
No.
She can't be that good.
There's a sweet spot for performance, I think.
She can't.
He will.
Go on.
Pressure makes diamonds.
He will go through a, like a steam train.
But that's my point is.
It would be like a two seconds.
I think it's two seconds.
It's a great two seconds, so.
And I think that premature ejaculation thing is overplayed.
When we're talking about Henry's...
In historical scholarly articles, you say it's overplayed.
That's an overplayed part of...
Yeah, I think it's not seen as like a weak thing.
You're right.
I'm so masked
and a crumb straight away
I see it's interesting
because in ancient Greece
obviously smaller cocks
were classier
and they still are
and we think so
society's yet to come
round to our way of thinking
yeah
we think it's vulgar
to have a big cock
well that's what they thought
in ancient Greece
it's a scoffish
unwheeledly hog
new money
trash
maybe there's also
an idea
the premature ejaculation
the efficient
the speedy
there's a grace to
what you sort of like
in a estory
is it like
got a low centre
of gravity, you're quick
along the ground, you know, technically skilled
small-not. It's more just that it's like
it's, you know, you're
coming in a woman for a purpose.
Yeah. And get it done.
And the female arc had someone really
been invented yet. It's still contested
to the stage. Yeah, it's not, it weren't
a thing back then. No. Also, is it not
fitting, I think the Protestant approach to sex
is quick? Here we go. It's as short
as possible. Catholic is indulgent.
It's seven hours long. Candles.
You break to eat.
In Christens.
Yeah, it's just, it takes, well, they're not working.
So you're building these, these long things.
Edging, pleasure, running yourself a bath every time you masturbate.
Piss play.
Yeah, but then this is, funny enough, this comes shot turned this country Protestant,
and it's a very Protestant length of time probably.
It is.
Four seconds back to it.
And then immediately he was back to work.
Well, he came and then he thought, oh, God.
What have I fucking done?
I don't like her anymore.
Yeah, Paul sort of.
I don't like her.
Yeah.
She's actually really fucking annoying.
And it's a very male story, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of just being completely blinded by cum.
For six years, the mist.
And for her to take advantage of a horny man like that.
No, it's a devastating.
It's an absolute disgrace.
Especially foreign pussy.
Yeah.
Foreign pussy gets you twisted up.
I don't think she was foreign.
I think she spent time there and she'd learn.
She was foreign.
She was foreign.
Yeah, I don't you mean.
She spent time in France.
She had too much French influence.
Yeah.
No, we don't, I don't think she actually has had enough personally.
Yeah, enough shit.
I mean, how did it get chopped off?
No, but we're skipping ahead.
She needed to have more while she was alive as to how much she had really terrorized this poor man.
And taking advantage of a vulnerable man.
A vulnerable man who'd been blueballed for six years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, this is awful.
Yeah.
He was disabled by it.
He is disabled by the...
You're seeing Hawkins until he busted
and then he was like, what the fuck?
Oh my God.
You just took advantage.
I can't believe I've been taken advantage.
I've been groomed for six years.
So he has sex with her in November 1532.
They get married in January 1533.
She is already pregnant because it was never his fault.
He wasn't the problem.
No.
He had swimmers.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People said he didn't have swimmers.
I had a lot of female historians trying to rewrite it.
He clearly had swimmers.
Oh, bollocks.
Oh, bollocks.
Female historian.
That's an oxymor on.
so Henry's marriage to Catherine is officially annulled on May the 23rd 1533
this is after it's just before he's taken the church into his own hands
and then Anbelin gives birth in September 1533
however devastatingly it is a ginger girl
Fah!
Birds fly it's heard everyone can hear it
It's like the fucking church bells ringing, him screaming,
fuck, as he finds out he's got another girl.
He's been led down the garden path.
Yeah.
And it's a ginger girl who would go on to be Elizabeth the first.
But he does not know that.
Yeah.
Now, let's just get into how they predicted gender in this time.
Because Anne Berlin, liar, charlatan that she was,
had been saying, well, I know it's a boy.
I'm confident it's a boy.
You'd have to say that, though.
You would say that.
So this is how physicians predicted gender
If the mother had a rosy red complexion
The baby was to be a boy
Because masculinity was associated with heat
If the mother's complexion was pale
Salo
Because girls were cold
If the abdomen
Was swollen on the right side
It was a boy
On the left it was a girl
If the right tit was bigger
Boy if the left tit was bigger
Who's checking that
Sorry?
Is there a court
Is the guy checking those tit?
There's a man with this hat saying he's checking it.
Because they wouldn't trust another woman to do it.
No, she wouldn't know.
They'd be like, I'll do it, I'll have to do it.
I'll have to do that.
If salt was...
Inclusive.
I have to do another test in the road.
If salt was placed in the nipples and it did not liquefy, then the child was a boy.
Okay.
Look, this is just, sorry, this is just science.
It's early science.
I'm sorry, are we going to have to do this?
It's going to have to just sort of salt.
I'll have sales, though, because my mom didn't get the gender revealed to her.
for me and my cousin was born a few days earlier
and she thought because
my auntie was fully rounded and she was like still
quite flat I'd be the opposite gender
so it's all these old wives out. Did she not find out until you
Jack Nicholson and the Shining out of her pussy? Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Are you a
I gave birth on the toilet baby? I was meant to be a girl yeah
no that's not what I meant I meant like you know those magazines that poor people
read oh no no she knew she was pregnant yeah but she she hid the gender away
because my aunt said
it was conceived on the same day
my cousin was conceived on the same day
in the same room
which is interesting
yeah
you're sort of skipping over that
yeah it was conceived on
my nana had this sort of
mattress on the floor
in a room
and my mum and her sister
went out and brought
two lads back
took it and turned shagging on said mattress
both got impregnated
on the same day
so bingo
were in the same room
or were they way outside
and it was way outside
I remember second, yeah, being the youngest.
Yeah, so because my auntie was full,
and then she gave birth to my cousin who was a boy,
my mum assumed, well, I must be a girl then.
So she assumed I was a girl.
Do you feel a lot of connection with your cousin because of this?
Yeah, well, it's a, well, it sort of went down different paths
because he had like a millionaire lifestyle.
What was his budget?
His parents went on to live in a millionaire,
so he ended up in prison and,
heroin addict.
Whereas I was sound.
Yeah.
Ghost to show.
Go second.
Yeah.
Go second.
Always.
Go second on the mattress on the floor.
There was a theory that the right testicle produced males
and the left testicle produced women.
A theory goes a long way in this day and age.
But they've got nothing else to go up.
Men wanting a boy would sometimes tie a ribbon
around their left testicle during intercourse
in order to block the girl bollock
from the spout
now that does make sense
yes
yes
with the logic
there's a logic there for sure
because it's also
sometimes apparently
if you put a wooden stick up your ass
that would mean a healthy baby
right
yeah yeah if you
if you turn the type of thing around your neck
put an apple in your mouth
yeah yeah yeah
doesn't mean you have a good time
it means you have a good time
so after now in the aftermath
of Elizabeth's birth
pre-prepared letters
announcing the birth for Prince
had an S hastily
added there was a jousting tournament
that had been set up and prepared that was cancelled
and then obviously after this
Anne begins to grate on Henry
which is fair enough
she has a miscarriage at Christmas which is a disgrace
hold it
hold it in love
can you not wait to laugh at the Christmas as well
could you please just do it in January
can you wait to the 6th of January and then take the decoration
kept your legs close to six years
you don't just fucking waddle for a bit
so she's really starting
to grate now she has to be dealt with
meanwhile the monasteries
I mean this is why it's another such an English story
this is like that's right asset stripping
yes definitely like it's the first thing
just completely
he starts sending his troops
into all these abbeys monasteries
which by the way were like
essentially the only social security the country had
they were like I don't know hospitals
they were these huge cathedral built like incredible
post office yeah they were everything
and he just they just go
they serve a notice
and then if monks
refuse to comply
they just all get executed
they get heads on spikes
like hung in chains
off carouss
and cromwell
organizing all this shit
this is all Thomas Cromwell
right
and they take all the lead
from the roofs
and they nick it
which is why all the abbees now
they don't have any
don't have any roofs
like travellers
yes yeah
yeah yeah
it's state-sponsored
gypsery
so the compendium
compatorium
is a document that
it's like evidence gathering on the monasteries
and accused lots of nuns and monks
of being sexual deviance.
I mean, that's something that's very much in our own.
Yeah.
I mean, this was right in a way.
It's not showing a nun,
there's a certain kind of satisfaction there.
So I'm like setting up pedo hunter things, I guess.
Yes.
You were to be a little clergy boy.
Yeah.
In a Norfolk priory,
three priests were accused of come,
coniugata,
fucking married women.
Okay.
And then the other three
were accused of
voluntary pollutions
which meant masturbation.
Voluntary pollution.
Oh, that's a nice point in it.
Polluting, voluntary pollution.
So it's sort of like littering
almost.
Well, it's why in Zedique's London
you can't masturbate
inside the South Circular.
Yes.
Because the Ula's cameras will get you.
But that's also why
everyone's just on the edge
of the South Circular.
Wanking.
That's why you see that.
That's why you see that now
on the South Circular.
So between 1536 and 41,
Henry dissolves over 800 Catholic Monaster
takes all the money to the state.
Thousands of, I mean, monks, refugees,
that's quite funny, just running around
with their little heads.
It was like the flight to Turkey, basically.
Can't have to talk about the problems.
No.
Because there's no one to listen to.
And then Anne Berlin,
Anne Boleyn's quite Protestant.
Yes.
But he doesn't, Henry doesn't want any of that.
No, he's not really a Protestant.
He's not done this for theology.
No, no, no.
He's been Blue Ball.
He's done it for Pussy.
He's done it for Puss.
And then, I mean, the realisation
he must have when he realizes he's torn
the entire country apart.
Yeah.
For a woman that's now boring him.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just...
It is tough to take.
She's played a blinder, though.
She knew what she had.
She knew she had a clapped out post.
So she went, I'm going to use my mystique.
I've learned from France.
Yeah.
I'll use all my mystique to get ahead in life.
And then, yeah, sure, I've got to let him
eat the pie eventually.
And I know it's rotten pie.
But I've got so far with that six years of teasing.
So you've got to,
You've got to doth the cat to really.
She scammed him, like a Nigerian prince.
Yeah, no, she is.
Really played to a Shremso.
Yeah, she has.
Yeah.
She really adapted.
So, mobs begin to attack monastic buildings.
There's then a big rebellion in not 1536,
the Pilgrimage of Grace,
which is like a pro-Catholic,
anti-land tax revolt.
And it's the classic English thing
with the revolts.
We're sorry, you forgive you.
Just put your weapons down.
They put the weapons down.
You're all executed.
Yeah, it's classic.
Absolutely brilliant.
When will they ever learn?
Just don't put your way.
You're going to, obviously, we promise,
we'll forgive you, just put that down.
Done, done.
Idiots.
So then Protestants start being like, well, we're going to become a Protestant country.
And Henry's like, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Guys, stop.
He set this train in motion.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
I don't want to give her the satisfaction.
Yeah.
Amblin.
So divisions are starting to form.
Cromwell is just like, well, we just need.
need the money from the monasteries so it doesn't really matter um what like fucking religious i mean
henry's still saying mass sneaking into mass and stuff so he's still catholic yeah and cromwell basically
just retroactively makes invents a new thing but at this point they don't really know what not
catholic is at this point it hasn't been defined it's not clear what the division it's still just
we're about 20 years on from luther yeah so there's things like the mass yeah it's in the ether um
so elizabeth has been born now uh uh
In January 1536, Anne Boleyn is pregnant again.
In January 1536, Henry gets thrown from his horse.
An armoured horse falls on top of him.
Now, he's 44 at the time, and he's still quite athletic.
But this is the big turning point.
This is like that woman who woke up speaking Chinese, right?
This is that woman's broke up.
Yeah, the pido bit of the brain's been pushed.
She had a stroke.
She's from Devon.
And she wakes up.
Oh, here are.
From Primuth, this is, he's unconscious for two hours.
People think he's dead.
Like a whole horse falling on him.
So having been athletic and a great jouster, his career ends because the horse fall basically
opens this wound on his leg that had sort of just scarred over and then was just constantly
infected for the rest of his life.
Supposedly also he suffers an undetected brain injury, which is what historians have said recently.
This may be why he becomes the tyrant.
is that, like Caligula,
like everyone, they have a brain injury
and suddenly they've become a fucking...
Papa doc? Yeah.
So...
But to be fair, it wasn't...
People do probably overstate the brain injury.
Written male, I believe. You saw, all right?
Yeah. Yeah.
He didn't turn into a tyrant.
This is what I mean is people say this,
but before, it wasn't like he was the most progressive guy
before the injury.
He had done a lot to try and get a peaceful divorce.
actually.
I think six years of wrangling
before he realizes he can just...
You're just more in a hurry after the fall.
You know, he felt mortal.
Right.
You know, he had a near-death experience.
I need to make, you know, get my affairs in order.
I'm not going to be on earth for that long.
Everyone talks about his execution count,
but they're all sort of understandable in the moment.
Yeah, you get them all.
It's not just like...
They're all logical.
Yes, to be fair.
Yeah.
The king,
has fallen, his horse on top of him,
and the stress of this means that Anne Boleyn has another miscarriage.
So she's just blaming him?
Yeah.
This bitch.
Yeah.
It's just a car, it's a multitude of sins from Ambelin.
Cartoonishly evil for men.
Can you take a day off, Anne?
Two miscarriages and a ginger girl.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you want to start your head out before knock it off?
So the king lies unconscious
and has another miscarriage.
What will happen next?
Against this backdrop of instability
Anne Boleyn needs to be dealt with
and soon she will feel the force of Henry's wrath.
But what I like is it feels like we're the sort of council
that got to judge Anne Boleyn
where she should go down or not.
I mean that's a great place to be.
Yes, that is.
Just all the boys.
