I can't back up what doesn't even say: alright, I'm in That's all you get for the whole show. September 30th, one thousand seven hundred and ninety six. year of our Lord Jesus Christ,. John Mitten, John NICE, is this the story of mittens? Yes, it is exciting Was born in a Shropshire that was weak? What happened there.

You're kind of into the area, but not. he was born to John Bitten and Sarah Harriet his family, squires whose lineage went back five hundred years church. Great, that's traditional so they were very wealthy but good I'm gonna last so long and John's father died when he was two, as is to be expected, so for him to go work in a factory for awhile. That's right! was John inherited the family seat at Helstone Hall Whittington. It was worth sixty thousand pounds. What's happening to jail break effect with one of the lights going on my face, just sort of keeps a majestic.

Ok, wait. What does that mean his seat? The? I think that what is needed is quire. What does that mean? You just he's a Lord David, but do that part you're not supposed to outsource that part? I just read that shit and I'm like fuck off just have a person be a person. So he's a Lord ok, ok, I've I've figured he be. He was the new squire which again this bars. I know a squire helps at night with a horse. I don't know anything else than happens sure, but pretty squares do more than that were inaccurate. So far, the rich but Avail squires a rich shirt. So basically he inherited well before point three million today of shit. I too. yeah. I like that yeah, that's right! That's how you grow up relating to people. That's how you like man of the people, that's right, yeah

It also brought in an annual income of ten thousand pounds from the state lands, so he had tons of money after it was making a lot of money a year or a million a year, basically yeah at two years old straight, when Horatio Nelson was killed in Spain. Sorry John's bereft and weeping nurse showed seven year old, John, a portrait of Nelson and told him. She would make him a sailor's hat, even though she had never seen Is she the voice on how to make these that's my question if she It's about. You were on your head. I think. when he's too well. There is no reason, a seventy seven. Okay, he's a millionaire at seven and she's like I'll, make you a navy hat. I don't have never seen one so.

It was a boy Napoleon's wars are raging and his nurse would use Napoleon to scare young John. She would She would yell quote: Bonnie will eat you. Bonnie will tell your eyes out it made Napoleon the boogeyman yeah like he was like he's under my bed. That's right, he is he's tiny It's coming. But Napoleon wasn't that small right like he was like no, he was like taller That's true. He was like nah. He was like of average height like I think it was like propaganda to like make him seem like a shit to I really don't try to make. Nepal was a excellent adventure. Napoleon was awesome, he was, be cool. Why you trying to help Napoleon that guy needs a hand. He's got one of his shirt, he needs another.

I'm the only guy doing Napoleon stuff John went to the prestigious Westminster school. A former student quote. As at Westminster, the boys fought one another. They fought the masters, the masters fought them, they fought outsiders. In short, we are ready to fight anybody. Wait isn't there supposed to be like a echelon of authority role, but the teachers alike will beat you up. We may not pack to fall later. Yeah they're kicking the shit out of each other. Alright normal than John was kicked out after a year for fighting with his schoolmaster. He was there sent to Harrow School, and he lasted three terms there before he was expelled. Why is he going to school. What do you mean? I'll millionaire. I think it's just expected if you're a Lord now, I would change that right away. What would you do it?

at seven with millions of dollars. I think you're. Seventy marks you're beating up the schoolmaster, so you're, probably in your tickets, great, that's fine, I would die would bill. I would like paid a torture that man His family money and I feel like I'm, going to torture him I'll, throw money at this problem. Don't let boney he is under my bed, the bony man So after that he was then educate, educated by tutors. Think what you want, but if that were the case I'll take it. He would harass tutors with practical jokes. I want to spent a night in the house and there was a knock on the door in the middle of the night quote, which he opened to be confronted by the alarming vision of his young poop pupil. Mount it on his black pony having written him up the stairs. There's this This is one of talking about business start up when you grow up with a million dollars is like it seeing you just gotta, be the gap

I got an indoor how oars than an outdoor horse. I keep it real quote from mad caps. Progress by Richard Darwin all quotes not otherwise mentioned will come from that book. A frequent visitor to Helstone was Sir Richard Pills. one of your favorites Posten pushed him, he nickname John Mango king of the pickles stuck for a while. sure is there. Do we know y know those that's it I mean there is. There? Is a book called mangled king, the pickles and at no point here, but you say why: well that's the fact that there is a book mango king of the pickles also just opens a lot of questions, but ok, like it's getting on John started hunting foxes with his own pack of hounds when he was ten yet most people here. To that, He would go hunting in any kind of weather when it

Sixteen and eighteen, twelve John was and as a captain commissioned the local yeomanry in the local yeomanry in it's like a volunteer regiment of landowners militia of landowners like rich guys playing army to be an officer he had to be nobility or landed gentry. Even though he had done very little academically John was admitted to Trinity College in Cambridge and eighteen. Sixteen nice yup when earned Letterman called. Could you imagine a time when rich people just got to do stuff without it'd? Be weird? I mean yeah, it's weird yeah. Now it's just like you've got to earn by this time. John, really really liked port sofa fun detail. So when he arrived at Trinity College, he brought with two thousand bottles of port. By the way this is who you want to room with It must be the millionaire you lot poor. I love

This guy's awesome video import stance. We've got a port, funnel report, hat a port hat. What does that port? and I get the two tubes coming down a a party animal. I expected the two thousand bottles to get him through his time at Trinity, but he and that would be expected. I would think that that would be enough to evolve. the bottles. While you never know couple of parties and of one thousand sure He bailed on university, finding a boring and went to Europe on what he called a grand tour. when he returned he was commissioned into the army and served in a cavalry he spent a year and occupied country after the defeat of Napoleon, woe yeah, that's all. I know

sleep again yeah. I remember learning that you're learning history right, yeah and ended up losing and he was super tall, six foot, seven yeah it used to dunk, he was the starting center yeah. That's right, yeah, we're saying the same thing I'll give me that fuck, I'm ready to pound it give me it. Sorry, that's Nepal! Here, I'm sorry, that's pretty confusing! He was really good at tossing the ball in the floating net, with nothing around. It is equally as thrilling as basketball. I've found do they call it. Nepal, well, Nepal, Nepal's a different sport, the basketball, they call basketball basketball, but they have netball, which is like what, if you were to like, take a lot of the good parts out of basketball. What would I look like like. Oh yeah, it's not very good. It's really not! It's sort of stupid cause going back there as your popcorn, okay, hey Buddy,.

So while he was there, he mostly just gambled and drank and all they really did Oh Sir, Henry Smith had caught our life and company was an excessive gaiety, hunting and chases. What is it gave a hunting and chases? What is the first, when gaiety, gaiety, Gaiety Gayety you ever the gaiety yeah the view. Let's play the game where one of us defines it right- prisoners as you do it. I think it probably comes from the word gay, which means happy and having a good time yeah. Exactly that's what I'm saying Okay keep them, so this guy knows cause of hammered sex with other men having sex with other men. Sure yeah, all those things I'll be the colonel tonight sure right.

John also gambled like crazy one night. He lost six thousand napoleons to a captain. What is a napoleon? I think it's a coin supply like a dollar but I was really into himself say he was like what about? Unlike our politicians, now or, oh god, yeah, don't say it out loud cause, he might name it Trump Trump dollars. Yeah puts his face on the front yeah on the back so John's horse. The company was a one eyed small male named baronet a year. So, if you're being there John resigned and on the night before he left, he jumped baronet over a mess table where the officers were sitting. This is Richie Rich, this going to say and, like you just got out, there's no rules, so I don't know why he's going anywhere the off

there's were quote alarmed and delighted. What with the officers well done good work, mitten John returned to the Yeomanry in Shropshire Kay, he took up his duties as a squire, whatever the fuck. That means I should look that up. No, no, no! That's fine, we'll just keep it super vague as he was about to get his full inheritance. So at twenty one he had a large house Halston with more than enough money to run at tons of game and racing stable, the owned thousands of acres in Shropshire and rented farms. He also owned a manner that has a fucked up. Welsh name, I think, we'd all love to hear you go for it Dennis a modest there. It is what has two t's and they don't know nothing size, though it were at TH re, the dessert, th sure yeah, of course, it is a month.

And they run one man In a mirror sure, but Dave it's like I'm there, luckier, the town mayor of Davao, seven, it had thirty, two thousand acres and eighteen eighteen. He married he married Harriet Emma Jones, the daughter of Sir Thomas, for which Jones. So you know Lord Marisa, I guess she's a probably a lady right. Well yeah, it's working! Is there a female sir John, very quickly, bored of his marriage as you do yeah Harriet thought he would settle down after the wedding, but that was not the case more than anything John loved hunting, though he was not a normal hunter. Sometimes he would show up for a hunt quote clad even on the coldest wettest day in the finest of clothes and boots, and once appeared to delight with his legs encased in black and white silk. Stockings.

Ok, so each Emmi near this guy has too much money to care about. Any business is a pattern of GMO he'll describe junkies like a lot easier, Kardashian Ashen, unlike the agent hundreds Giovanni describe John in a hunting book quote. He was five ft nine in tall and weigh two hundred and eleven stone, but he was a man of abnormal development. His his biceps were thicker than those of Jackson. The p it was champion hold on a second everybody on the phone and ring which is funny in the morning before we keep going. We want those interruptions he measured over forty inches around the chest, yet his thighs were so small and so weak that it was a marvel to I think a balance so he's just like this circus strong, maybe he's like chamber body, and that he's just got these little wiring legs like the guy, is just like. Like Diana do like day

It's just that buys every day. Just pack buys that's right, okay, so he could. It seems like a good fall over at any anytime right. Yeah he's not constructed properly. Harry got pregnant, but John was still out having fun. She saw little of him. He hunted all day and partied all night, and this became society. Gossip. One lady wrote to another quote: the young mitten marriage sets out as was expected, but and promisingly he is living with unbounded expanse in the midst of every low company, which leaves her to perfect solitude. I mean this is like shows you how like the intelligence of God, It used to be so much higher like that. Read that again the young mitten marriage sets out was expected. That's just not how gossip starts. You know you, like you hear what this pitched it, but unpromising lie. He is living with Unbound.

Expense. Oh, my god, he's living with unfounded expense. Grace get over here, you're, not going to believe this shit. It's about mitten in the midst low company, which leaves her to perfect solitude, o my Lord perfect sovereignty, so gossip began to flow people said when he was drunk, he locked her into a candle with the foxhounds. Well now I think it's a good time to two too to check in so he would get drunk and like his pregnant wife, while that yeah, that was a that was a rumor but then later on it was No, she accidentally locked herself in the. I mean he does know as one does for sure yeah. I know a lot of women who create themselves yeah. It's just a regular thing. You do! Oh dear, look at me, I've locked myself in the dog case again Foolish me the people

If he tried to drown her in the lake, well, no, no to be fair. She tried to accidentally drown herself, I think that's what we learn and that wants to eat if her dog into the fire. Oh, my god, this is like making a murderer. Shit credit, none of the adults, think any of that is real, they're just making stuff up. Oh, alright, sorry, he was big into practical. Looks legit scared people ever seen the where throw your dog in fire that, over in the crate, we got bored well, not as bad as the sound of a dog frankly on the fire minds where the holidays, David, He drove so fast so many times in his gig that she refused to ride with him anymore. With this gig, it's a good.

Want the one horse carriage, you know: two people sitting in okay, random right is peeling ass. Okay, he became friends with Charles James Appley, who was a writer he he wrote for a sporting magazine and of course he was ashamed of that. So he used the pen name, Nimrod sportspage quick question about the rebounds, but never on, became a very proper. The writer, Epperly and John were often together. John spent heavily. He paid one thousand five hundred for pheasants and boxes. He has three square miles of preserves and fifty workers working on it. They were standing orders for gamekeepers to bring strokes, badgers, polecats and anything else they could catch. His annual killings were one thousand two hundred pheasants up to two thousand rabbits

an insane amount of partridges. That sounds like the the twelfth day of Christmas, and he would just basically pay to have them put on his land and then he'd go kill him as though he meant okay. So that's it's fun. It's like an enclosed hunting, which is always fun like when you don't think rich people go to holy shit. How did I kill this elephant? It's like because it was in a cage. It's like man, I'm good at this. He owned two thousand dogs. What no we didn't No, we did it, it did. No, we did it if he did he owed two thousand dog: yes, While you buy one it's so hard to Up after the aim has to be like Georgia if thousand dogs yeah, we didn't name him. No is the answer and no I'm sure he named some, but not all like five. It's a lotta, that's a lotta yeah, that's two thousand to be close.

The ones that were his favorites lived. Well, they were FED steak and champagne the I don't know how well they lived dogs had they wear uniforms. I now believe this man, two thousand dogs, while uniforms, while others were put in costumes. So to me, a uniform on a dog is a costly, but he was like now all aware, Europe to the opera uniformly. that their in service right, but a costume. You know it's me He said put him in a little like chef outfit like I said, and I cook, is that one of the servants, no that's a dog that kind of thing, yeah good times, yeah yeah for sure he was a fan of dog, fights and bred for that

I mean if you have two thousand dogs, you run out of shit to do like what am I going to do? I'm fight each other John trained different. other stuff dog trainers. Sometimes he would fight the dogs himself. You mean. Do you mean he would physically opposed to of the canines, or you mean he would be like? That's it, it's be versus the dogs, fight the dogs. Yes,. It was the little Bryant boxing gloves on is that he was seen funny. bulldogs and mastiffs. He would bite them to toughen them up. I mean I there's someone that has to step in here and stop this. His favorite horse was allowed to roam around both inside and outside the estate. Where are we

going what is happening so cat horse. Ok, don't have a little whore storefront, we want to go out and get just walk there too little pony door sometimes, but and John would lay in front of the fire together. It is Cute, but let's pump the brakes a little bit. Also love the race track. He spent more on his race horses and their stable than he did hunting at her daughter. in the family, yes, forgot Harriet Emma Charlotte was born on April twenty third and nineteen after the birth, the doctor went to tell John quote on my telling him. It was a girl he swore he would have it smothered. But throwing himself on the sofa he gave it to his feelings in a flood of tears, so he is

good news. It's a girl is a killer. Now, I'm sorry, I'm so tat. This is a basic Circle of life so exciting. Essentially, yes,. Its emotion he soon came round began to enjoy his new daughter out awesome. Well, what a corpse at first. You want to kill your child, then after a couple months, you're like oh she's, alright yeah right now, I think you went through that. As of now there you said the knight I had been under the water and Heather was able to give it a month or so all right I'll give it one month- and I was like I wanted to die but John did not slow down with the birth of a child and eighteen Jeanne, he decided we want to be in parliament. Time is preserved. Time, he's ready

There was family tradition and he would run as a tory price now they're great. He used his wealth quote his method. Wait, take really a man. You well. Thank you to the public believe that growth is met. Canvassing was to ride along the main streets of a Shrewsbury, a tired in a brilliant colored coat, trimmed with gold buttons and a ten pound note intended for voters to snatch at attached to each button, Relatable super Okay! So, and this was effective campaigning. When someone grabbed the note he replaced it, he ended up giving away ten thousand pounds to some that would be considered bribery, but I think the loop because if you weren't on your buttons, it is, it is not a loophole. People are taking right, you're, not giving it to them right. Now, though,

eight hundred and thirty thousand pounds today at work. It worked I mean, if I would, I would vote for this person. If there is someone who, like I mean they're, all such dog shit, now that there is someone who just had twenties on their jacket, I'll be like yeah. Let's you get, it is Well, cash machines have the fan, but he's a human. So John met and was elected MP for shoes very K to celebrate, he threw a giant party in the town quote. The populace had been presented with a term have her, which accompanied by a drum and five band, and several butchers in white frocks, was being drawn to the town in a wagon decorated with morals. Ribbons. So what what's happening so there's there's a couch sounds like a bang, a bus to me, which is where my family took you to know, you're in a bank No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No

We gotta get out, we are banned and that a few butchers in their way. Hell of a party and then and then a wagon with ribbons on it and The animal was slain roasted whole and distributed to the poor supporters of John with what animal the cow. Oh, ok, rank so that the of the cow it's like a baked potato, just throw it on the fire. No you're right at the House of Commons in June, but he quit

very quickly realized that the debates were boring. Well, Dave yeah. He left after thirty minutes. What and. went back to Shropshire. Is that allowed? That was his only appearance in Westminster? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! He does term. Thirty minutes he still doesn't power is, but he left it? What is the protocol? There that there's no protocol, they can't make em, come back up loopholes and he just went back to life in good times. Austin was the scene of amazing dinners and no man was allowed to go to bed sober. He was constantly seen in Shropshire. Jumping his horse, baronet over Gates Brooks in anything else he could find and when people like,

in parliament. You're supposed to I was, I am still haha pick buddy of mine. we're going to roast a whole cow. At the line in one day, he let into foxes. And they ran around with some women were sitting quote and for with them around the room with view hallows, no, no, no, no, no! No, that is an attempted murder the beverage. Oh tell you made a bet. And then he rode his horse upstairs into the dining room and jumped over a table where his friends were eating out onto the balcony and then galloped off down the street is ok, so he just as the amount of money we're like everybody's, like very good one, mitten, God, dammit maiden, I agree, it is right is anywhere no one's gonna saving to power. We have money, gives you power.

So hey had never actually recovered from the birth and she became weaker and with a weaker. She was now a show of her former self and she died on July. Second, she was buried near the lake and house. They had been made for two years. Johns mother then came to live at the estate and response to her. Its death John began to drink more. Hmm, this sort of course you're into that then drinking a gallon of rum is like hey. I like this guy, it gets cool. I he started to get injured, often when hunting sorry when drunk hunting is daunting. Yeah he's drunk who's fronting one day. He fell and broke his arm, but was back hunting the next day in a sling okay, he had sixty reason, one hunting season. What is he being hunted.

one day, he fell and broke three ribs, but the next day a friend brought a fox quote, swathed in bandages. He was lifted this couch and placed in the saddle k is that this is like this is like ok. So this is thanks This is where people are going like good. I have joined via DA, like he's, like God, is like crutches and he's just got his rifle and they're like aiming it for him yeah. It's that great right He was lifted from his couch and placed in the saddle of the devil. One of his surprised hunters, Dissolved in one thousand eight hundred and twenty, he decided he was not going to stand in the next election. Because of the injuries he game, hire sheriff of Mariner Chart in one thousand eight hundred and twenty one. I think you're just rich. So you just like all the all be the sheriff yeah right, but it doesn't sound. His share of material, it doesn't sound, like is human material. To be honest, yeah, it's not great,

in the summer of eighteen thousand, eight and twenty one. He met seventeen year old, Caroline Gifford sounds like a real prince Andrew. Congratulations on your prince. He really knows how to keep it together. Yeah he's really. He really knows how it's not sweat doing it. Sorry! Could we do this in a pool? No, I've never met a person who is an actual open personally. whereas in America we're just like. Oh it's so funny that they kill them. Anyway, next news story.

The Caroline's Hunter Father was also a hunter, so they bonded and they fell in love and they were married in October. Okay, for the first year few years, John was actually a good husband. This time, that's quite a actually, but after some time he started hanging out with his old mates and drinking Caroline was throw the first we became high sheriff of Shropshire, and so it be another height, I share of it became a higher sheriff of a different town yeah. I guess it is the higher the Shropshire town or is it a place. but there's a lot of dancers country What country is an near the ocean spit, That is how the water like Atlantic, we're on land, but it wasn't land. There was actually trash island areas State had statehood, but it's own country, which is actually a continent. Think about anyway, is the high

He was now in charge of one hundred and forty prisoners. Perfect, I'm sure he relates to that position. a man who can do no wrong the eyes of society. He in a major and the Shropshire Yeomanry Cavalry, and this is exactly what Caroline wanted she thought he had settled down, and things are looking up. She not. She was pregnant in the summer, get ready, that'll be able. Yet in November they had a son uplay that doctors are good news, this time to celebrate. Twenty five sheep are killed and for people cigars or nice, and eighty two is. It was a fashionable time in England, men gambled and frolicked. Sounds about the same? To be honest, that quote, they strutted, like gay parents for their hour upon the stage wow. What is.

Do parents strut, I feel like there's a lot of other things that the struts yeah for sure yeah many times. That is what I think of when I think of strutting yeah. Just some cool parrot like Mark yeah, that's right, yeah. They were mob jackets, canary waistcoats and speckled pants John had one hundred and fifty suits of all colors mixed, regardless of whether they went together. I kind of relate to this guy a little bit for a moment. John decided Caroline had quote to play things at home, so good start going out and having fun again as the playthings again just be clearer. His children. Yes, we gave you before you ve gotta play thinks that this is our families, a pop up, a bit of fun. You lot this port everywhere. everywhere literally.

Find a place where it's not over could afford that option. Face, let's eat a horse. So I started hang out with the fashionable men and his drinking came back giant got into the habit. It gone well he's slow down. John got into the habit of writing his horse up the front steps of his friends houses when he stopped by for a visit. So this is what had to happen at some point at some point, somebody had to be like you can't ride horses wherever you want, but now it's like opera disease raises a do it ever. I want my wars when they open. Or he would ride the horse into the house now John Jesus ha how this I hammered His own house, he would often ride a baronet around the billiard table, I mean, there are people who he definitely had a guy who was very funny as a good job, you've knocked over

The rules again take us a week to clean up very droll marriage role. John was actually very good with horses quote. He well. sort of caught here. We appear to have a sort of magic influence over their tempers. There was a touch of genius there. I think whoever is like a whore is like a horse. He's like ours, you get a horse to ride around a billiard table and sleep with you in front of a fire more equal, upstairs you're right. She can't know about us. Nobody would one day the lake was frozen. To amuse himself here we go, he made twenty stable hands put on ice gates and go out on the ice. None of them had ever stated before. Yes, funny technically funny like just to

Money, but technically funny I mean he's just just orders. He watched them until it became boring, and then he pulled out of. bag of rats. Every time over this guy, he dragged me back in its. Without a bag, a wrath so pre plan Pro. Obviously pre planned yeah. No, you don't just go. Oh no yeah you're, like ugh it's time for sweeps cowboys did he he put the rats on the ice. But the ice was soon covered in blood, no Dave, because the rat catcher had cut off all their tails, because that's how you got paid as a rat catcher, you would show the tales.

Couldn't in this situation, the guy just show a bag of rats like that Proof enough, yeah, that's that's a good truly, if anything, I'd be pissed. If you looked at this blood all over this bag, this is going to be terrible. John was then sad in the end of the fun. This is like a drunk foxcatcher for the Dupont. Guy, oh yeah, who started the wrestling team. It's an american thing and John Drake five to six bottles of port a day. he started drinking in the morning. While he was shaving by the my god, I'm liking it. That is as great what you just never no results. stability on every level where you can just beat you keep ports

Having every day, if you drink, that, much port seems crazy to there is on beer aptly said in the cellar he had quote wine enough in wood and bottle for a roman emperor. Ok, he continued have dinners at Helsinki when the women retired the men. Get drunk until they passed out one day, showman was passing through town, really a showman, John bought a bear at a monkey from him for thirty five lb. What's a showman. to me. It's like somebody is like entertaining, but this guy just has exotic annulment, circus situation, okay and he was able to transport monkeys. Bears at the same time like I didn't get into the transportation of animals I'm just saying that's a difficult. Lord ye may knew it. The cage bear than you do now roam around in a cage. Okay, and so he bought these to the monkey. I assume sat on the shoulder. Obviously, yes

Obviously the bear was named Nell. She had a violent temper. No she was a bear. She was a bear Violent temper, she was a bear, it's a bear, I don't know what's good at the nail lately. Well, you know John, it's a bear and they're wild animals and you've put yours in a cage. I think she's been distant. No, no, no she's a bear something's wrong with the monkey to is so wild The far man's all avoided now, but she loved John, I mean what one night it was entertaining and dinner. He excused himself know that none of you know pardon me a moment. No

From the quarter beyond the dining room door, there came odd, sounds of scraping and sliding. These grew louder, footsteps were also audible and the sound of heavy breathing. Then it didn't voice open them up now the doors the reveal John was riding the bear bare ages He's, like invincible, writing the bear if we're friends with him, and he was like I'll, be right back. That's when you're like alright, let's get the fuck outta here right now, what's happening, it's bringing a bang that horse in front of us the tariff. guess, jumped on the table or chairs win a bare ass. He rode

under the room, one man leaped out the window. By the way we now know who the smartest man in the room was yeah jumped out a window, but now it was calm. A little too calm John had spurs on oh my god. That gently, don't tell you to do that with a bear, a riding a bear, but the right there. That's this situation anyone's in well, could be invading Rome and riding elephants and bears I not buying it. So he drove the spurs into now. While he yelled quote, Tally Ho Tally HO

Well, screech doubted pay their bit John on the leg. Ok, I think we now over the crowds, Dickens, yeah yeah pro bear. Two servants grabbed Bell and let her off John was taken upstairs and a doctor was called. I mean. Okay now ended up living at Halston for seven years until she attacked a servant and injured him badly, they decided she had to be killed, but in the ensuing struggle to take her to her execution, she fought and died. I mean yeah guess I don't know it's all sounds pretty terrible. She had it, she had it coming yeah. I know for sure I mean she just couldn't kick that bear attitude. Now the monkey got right. The monkey, several new wrinkle what's the monkey doing the monkey got really into port,

Okay, ok! It's like those, my is it Thailand, where the Monkeys- oh, it's there phase, while they are rather prepares the ground, there's that tropical island, where light whose were monkeys like yeah, they just have basically now it's in their instinct to just get shit faced and I'm not saying it's okay, but I am saying if you watch an island full of drunk monkeys drinking like cocktails like this, Are just like humans when they are, but they just have arms around each other. Let me tell he was, but I shut the fuck up that shot. it's a mate. If you can google it literally joint monkeys, it'll, be like the second or third video, and by the way they are our video to watch a grab drinks from torrents youngest pound of its amazing. It's really amazing

I mean nature's magical. But one day the monkey got so drunk that he became literally blind. Oh what and he died soon after but he went out the way you want it. I don't think he did, but you did know, I don't think you did, but if Abe I think the bear went out fighting servants and the. Monkey went out with just like a funnel a port mouth that is just like being out in nature. Do you not cut off a monkey? How are you like you've had enough port you're a monkey. While I feel like he's not that possible hood! John John maiden yeah weird we've gotten that vibe. By the same guys, do. So John was also not big on boring guests. Sometimes they were people Caroline invited over if he couldn't take it and was

too bored by the conversation I mean. The other things he's done is when he's like having fun yet so bored what so, he would just it up in the middle of dinner and walk away from the table, walk over jump through window and walk off and back in. That is the way to handle it. In laws John, I'd like to guess board of so much they left on their horses, he ran and got a Carter's smock loaded, a hit pistol. It rode his horse as fast as he could to cut them off. Then he jumped out from behind a tree, pointing a gun, even yelled quote, stand and deliver the two terrified men sped off and John chased them all the way into town, not a joke like they don't know. You're. Joking, just like a bear, doesn't know that any like it's. This is a

This is all in his head: joke of sorts, note to them. It's a prank, Murder to them the fucking murder. Now this could be a prank show. I don't think so. started calling him mad jack. They said he quote: not only did he not mine accidents, he positively like them. John, would drive is carriage at high speed one time he tried to find out if a horse pulling his carriage could jump over a toll gate. Let me guess we could Now we know The time he was riding with a man and John asked him if had ever been upset in a carriage this, if you're that guy, like I'm getting out. I don't like where this is headed. The man said no, and then John yelled quote.

What what a damn slow? Fellow, you must have been all your life. He then took the carriage up a bank going full speed, tipped it over tossing himself in the passenger. He liked to drive his carriage as fast as possible and writing that directly at obstacles like rabbit holes, Well, let's see if the carriage with turnover and a lot of the time, it would be somehow managed to avoid serious injury. Journalists would like to send local kids the top of a hill. Oh no, a quote remarkable ascent named this is another welsh thing. I think fold Dennis. It would give half a crown to the kid who reached the bottom first, it was a hundred and eighty two meters down

I mean this is a child. Murder quote the prime amusement in this marathon was to be derived from watching the falls of the children as they stumbled headlong among the boulders. So he. He's like a blood: this is a dangerous person when he was born with that he'd have the boys fight each other for prizes and sometimes he'd have old people race for money. Once again, I'm back in that I like I like that one. That's that's! That's one hundred and it's just like a bunch of tortoises. Like it's like now. Five children

get on the back of that bear fight each other yeah I've, no one yeah! all this he was at the height of his popularity. How who is like? Yes, those guys awesome? He was eccentric, often infuriating and at times a total embarrassment, but he was somehow super likeable boy, Bourse Jones. I think I feel real the guy with the picture. Just went I no. I fell into a routine when he wasn't hunting or gambling. He was racing horses and he was blowing through money, even though his lands brought in and made tons of money. He was always in debt. Oh no, wait! Okay! I kind of like this. He and

well, I now had four kids move, but she she's got a lotta hobbies at home and sounds like yeah a lot of fun, but she was unhappy why? What? What part of the distant husband do is out of control and drunk all the time and leaving her to raise board. allowed was bothering her little no women. She would give him shit and he stay away more. He gave a more and raised more and was slowly wasting his fortune, his account and told his account himself. His accountants told him he was going too far, but he was known to answer quote what the devil. Use of having a head on my shoulders, if I am made to make use of yours so is sounds like you're out of money. I don't feel like amount of money, so, oh, my god. If this guy gets poor, he was insanely wasteful with money. Oh yes, visitors would find bank notes lying around and

places on the estate. It was it known whether he had left the mare on purpose or just lost them sounds like you lost them. That's not a sound like a prank. like his prank, you would find a twenty of the via snake under it. That's right. He was spending big on hunting. He had a hundred fifty pairs of hunting pants, seven hundred pairs of handmade hunting boots, one thousand hats and three thousand hunting shirts. So was he wasteful and yet sometimes what is really into it. He would strip nude and hunt naked back in even through snowdrifts and Gorge rivers wow. He also got into night hunting. No, he would go out in the middle and night wearing only a nature. What is a nature like a nightgown, a ninety Gallagher? Ninety

He would walk out like Scrooge, just like with like a long night, is little cap and like a candle like I'm looking for, bears that's right, high stakes: he in the snow and hunt ducks. Sometimes he would just go naked onto the ice of a frozen lake and wait for the ducks The immortal after at there for awhile and it killed some dogs. He returned as if everything was normal, no affection, the cold at all. Then he go to bed and go to sleep many times. He'd get up thirty minutes later strip naked and do it all over yeah. I guarantee you forgot. He did it he's like that. Dragway like I should go, hunt ducks. I haven't done that in a while. It's like you're, surrounded by dead, ducks, dude. You know what I've ever done is one hundred a duck. No, you there's a pot. You did that four times last night, this room is ducks. He apparently has zero issues with a cold because he was now frequently hunting, topless.

In the fifteen years since he had received his inheritance, he had spent it all. Oh my god, he was deeply in debt. His accountant said: if he only spent six thousand a year for six years, then he would not have to sell the Shrewsbury estate. Well, that's not! John responded quote: I wouldn't give a damn to live on six thousand a year. He decided to sell the estate, by the way. This is also the United States economic power, a relative beggar. To saying the property have been in the family for five hundred years and John said. The tablet has, then it is high time it should go. does he have a terminal illness. This feels like Brewster's millions is what you do when you've been given like a diagnosis or you know you're, just like alright fuck, it will go crazy, yeah, rich people suck. So first I've heard of it.

So drinking was obviously very normal at the time, but John's drinking was excessive said that I mean that's crazy if you're a drunk, then I mean this is right in the middle of the gin craze. Let's not open that bottle again. He started acting out more. He picked a fight with a minor I hope not. I might not a kid with a minor by the way. The way this story is gone, you automatically say, like I said, I'm selling papers and ten is see you outside you're, going to foot a bear. I picked a fire with a minor who screwed up one of his hunts and they had a bare knuckle fist fight. She's you got to leave less, What is after bear with this guy, I hear bear who's going to have a bare fist fight him after it the minor gave up. What

How long are these rounds way back? Then? There were like a minute long time on another hunting trip. He took the lead and others slowed their horses when they saw a chasm ahead. John did not. He wrote his horse straightforward. I quote now for the honor of Shropshire and then crashed into the chasm. Are we going to find out at the end of this he's a ghost. One writer was following fast behind him and John was hit by the horse. He was bruised and bloody. This would be the last time, John hunted of thousands of nice to hear that's reassuring at least But again, what hasn't he done so there's like no worlds left to conquer as far as hunting for him he started gambling even more quote that Mart, so the account was like I'm glad, you're. Listening to me,

leaving this position by the way in autumn a wild gambling fever had hold of him. He was often in Birmingham where he had where he gave tremendous rowdy parties. at a race track. One day, an angry John walked by three rough. Looking men he had on a red Huntingcoat, one of the men said: quote devil I will have some of his golden buttons and they block John. He handed his horses, a bridge to one of them and his hat to a boy standing near by, and then he fought the other two men Okay, the fight didn't last long and John won. He was now very happy and gave them each a guinea.

So if you're him, you wake up every day with no plan other than to start drinking when you're shaving and just seeing what happens. That's, okay but John, was becoming more and more angry. He led is hard to say he was fighting. He was yelling at people. people became afraid of them became afraid of him.

It was now hitting people without being provoked. That's that's a problem. Friends, distance distance themselves. Why, in a drunken rage, he fought with Carolina yelled at the servants. This was during a week straight drinking binge and then Caroline left in a legal document. She said he committed quote an act of outrageous and injurious conduct. She went home to her family in Shillington, okay, what just that she's going to chill in Shillington? Okay! John was now alone in his huge house. Oh, that's! That's good! Over the winter he blew through more money and all of this

friends deserted him, so he decided to run for parliament again. This is like when Muhammad Ali would like still fight when he was a god where you're just like whoa dude, stop it's over it's over it's over. The first area to vote was the one nearest where John lived and he actually took the lead, but he soon fell behind another who's, the other guy like what oh, were like five guys But then they had to vote all over and in as the other areas voted, he fell more and more behind and dropped out. He was cheered and laughed at by many people. John now seemed like a beaten man. He began to be hounded by lenders and bailiffs. They followed him everywhere. He fled to London and rented a room in a small hotel. A month later he ran for DINA's smile alone in Wales,

what nope one day the locals said they saw him walking quickly, quote Bare, headed without a coat or boots. He was apparently running from someone yeah. That's not a look! You have what's your like, I'm just on a stroll. He went to chilling to see Caroline and the children, but she heard he was coming and had armed men waiting. So things are good between that's kind of a restraining order We know that there is an old fashioned restraining order. He they attack John. He knocked eight of them. and during the fight. What is he like? He's got hulk strength. He's got giant, top part. Why does it somebody just sweep the leg like in the karate kid that they're little dries look at kicking two matches from underneath them get close to them with those those giant arms mean okay,. but they were eventually able to handcuff him and haul him off. Okay,

later notice appeared in the times announcing all possessions at Halston would be sold. John filed for bankruptcy after Lee aka Nimrod had moved to Calais France on November. John just showed up there. Good news. I need a friend Great, they had not seen in two years, but after they knew everything that was going on. He said genre completely different quote round shoulders, decrepit tottering old young man blooded by drink, all the young man old young man, John wanted to hide in. As long as possible, but the next day he yelled actually quote I'll, have my wife back by God. They handcuff me, but still. They god all, have our yet awesome. You should go now and leave we're right away. That sounds yeah. Anything please sounds romantic yeah!

She's going to love that I have you, that's why I have twenty outside the house of the guys. I love you so much. I like how are the two kids for another miracle. We should pay them to fight each other Let me ride the biggest one week It's baby, Can I miss, does us in different hotels in France and ran up bills. Throwing parties people started. advantage of him when he was drunk and had him sign notes for far more than he owed them? Okay, John ended up staying in France. For years, one night He went to up to his hotel room shit. Faced with a swindler, you don't need to tell me this guy's shit faced. I need, let me know when this man's not drunk, he was swindled. It was trying to get him to sign a note

and then at some point a younger guy join them and they're all drinking after some time, John dressed for bed but began hiccupping intensely. So he is very ready for bed quote damned. But frightened it away Oh, no, no, no! No! No! No! No! No! No! What is a man on this level due to cell frightened, I'm going, kill myself. He grabbed a candle. But the flame under his shirt. Someone who's, a human George himself, it just like my hiccups are gone. Oh, no, the shirt burst into flame What would you put a candle at EU shirt? The John was totally enveloped The two men threw to the ground and tore the men were like John

tricks of water upside down. Burn John staggered into bed and said quote: a hiccup has gone by God. What I say it's. next day, actually I mean he's waking up like whoa. What are the woke it up and be like well. How did I get here? He's like woot? Oh, my goodness, lit up far less than my nipple, Burt. Rich person ever get drunk so a pearly after LISA Doktor doctor went to see John quote. Well, you got a lot of issues John, I suggest not drinking. Next year will bear a bear.

Are you my best friend now you're know what me thank you. It's okay, I'm leaving. We should go together. Let me examination you. what about no go like this, but it is: nipples dude I love This is so US physical, As it goes,. neither a million dollars to hang out with me for the afternoon lonely. Quote there. Lay Mr Mitten, not always reasons are met. These, like Mr Mann Book is

Mr men on Mr Bitten, not only shirtless but sheet list with the skin of his breast shoulder and knees of the same color with a newly singed bacon. Hog wait. So he like seriously like he liked cooked himself, yeah; okay, okay! Actually it's funny, but it's a darker. I really asked him why he had done it and John responded that he wanted to show Appley how he could bear pain, but that's not what he was doing. He was trying to get rid of the like. So this is the drunk thing where, like just over the top, I was they said it was hiccups. Either hiccups huh, the doctor ordered John, not to drink, but he did yeah and that made his condition worse accurately quote two weeks after the burning, he came to a certain extent deranged, and it was quite evident he would shortly

become a maniac shortly become a mate. That is the understatement of the story. I mean this dude has been a maniac since to a pretty soon he's going to get weird worried that we're going to start to see John become strange, it just seems like it might be. What's next a pretty told him. The quick dragging the doktor said he would die in three days, the bottom that doctors, like probably a little crazy to that's very soon the other is there I mean, like, I don't think you could predicted on that level. They like is very bad, but three days, three that you ve got three days to live John, I'm also not a doktor. He teetering on the edge for months once slipping into madness, but four months later he began to heal in aid. Well, he left his room for the first time at the forty and then one night he went to town and got shit faced after he relapsed and nearly lost the use of his legs. That's because they were just

Needles, but within a month he was walking again his situation with his debts and property required that he go to England to sign deeds to sell property to pay debt. After two years in France he returned and signed the documents in London, the only property left were Halston and heavily, which were family owned. In addition to property, he had sold off all the possessions in Halston, but he was still unable to pay off his debts in today's money. It's estimated he burned through over twenty million pounds, my god like that, and one shirt yeah wow. How old is he at this point? He's like thirties late fifties, wow? That is quite a run. Let's get run yeah goodness at a party yeah John then moved into the now empty Halston. Everything inside they'd been sold.

He lived in a small room on the top floor and had one servant boy that guy was like anything else, Mister Bin? Yes, I require a bear: a bed, a bed. You come here, you're my best friend how's, the job going over there the hosted place. It's not it's. I hate it. It's not good! Why it's a nice house and it's a great house, the properties unbelievable, but inside lives, a lunatic and the other night. He was. He said he had diarrhoea, so he stabbed himself. He just got a whole bunch, a home remedies he comes up with this was how does it work

yeah, no, no, that does not work. I'm sorry. This is a work. It is. It is not work, but he also like he's, got ferret pants now I don't know if you've ever heard of those have not heard of therapists like he wears a tab pair of tight pants, then he puts a bunch of ferrets in them like the truth is he's kind of adorable, but he's just so drunk You know who you're talking to I used to go back in I he he drinks a barrel of booze a day, so that's cool yeah. No, it's great! You should take this job, no, I'm working for the king. Oh, what why are you here stay off that I like to go for walks.

Works think about who's. The king, I read were Fred Willard Fred, word fretwork the second, but I don't call him a biased you know is the panacea is a very clear. This is already a lie so ass. I see your highness, I don't call him. Oh your story checks out, so you know the bunch of em A bunch of kings is for cards; they they switch Please switch out. I ain't missed time that dude gets that you get diarrhea I came here, cut it out of yourself, I've seen John was now thirty six years old lived hard after.

two months of living in an empty giant house with one sir. Every time I heard the bell was like sir I does. Men came to the house and he was arrested for debts owed to Birmingham bankers and imprison. Okay bail is was not allowed K, oh know. Opera really came to see him and said he looked like the same blooded drunk who arrived in France quote he had a leg and estate nearly approaching modification, wait what. It sounds like a rotting leg right, always leg. Yes,. His leg is running off: okay, Johnson I'll stop drinking in prison. I know how Was that hard to do? Was there like an option? I know you have been drinking conundrum.

so they are allowed to drink in prison before story that I've read where you can just get ship faced in prison. If you want, I just had a little better. What what are you rolling your eyes? I think that makes a way better prison. What drinking in prison yeah have a big big drink in prison. Now they get drugs and stuff prison or not. Yeah. I like wrecked, like it's not like I mean, was it a lot? It was allowed. Yeah yeah see that's not what it's like today. No today, the guard solitude yeah stiff. Exactly or he makes them toilet hooch. That's really a thing and yes, toilet hooch, yeah you're going to sink anyway or in the toy, Run toilet, oh god,. Hey, I shouldn't the hooch was

I get so. His debts were paid two months later, probably by cutting down most of the trees, trees at and selling them them, and then he went back to. France, France, like no? No, no, no, no! No! No! No! No! No! No! No, and we all set. we actually close friends for the year. France any more, so you should just somewhere adjacent. No, they are preparing for next year's France. Everybody is very excited. Okay, because a girl Y know what no, no, no, we actually that's a such a dirty rumor. We add that we are allergic to one now we drink a. River, while they're here, that's what they We had wine for a but thou. It's gone so yeah. You. turn around us another country because friendly as a ranch closer

five we close about an hour and a half ago, so this is a Andy who do knock off that you didn't say: here's the story. Friends is booze. Free quitter number, Looking that up, I got one of the point that you know: He was taller than most people I believe that know a lot of people don't believe that a lot of people say the Starting Netball Centre or whatever the middle one was so, when you get to France. He learned that he would more than a thousand francs to hotel. So he went back to England. No we're actually closed for the season. We have. You tried France, the gray right now. You should go that way better. If we. We're not open anymore. We've actually closed England for good we're returning it into a America so

Well, at least that's what he told the AP really, but he didn't return to England. Instead, he went to Lille. He went where lil okay, a Lille, Lille yeah. Again, I don't care, ok A couple of months later I like little, though the everyone. A couple of months later. He showed up an app release quote. I shall never forget the state. He was in short, less waste, coatless, neck, close lists and his trousers and a coat stained with blood. Now, where the first thing is pointing out that he doesn't have like anything on his neck is weird nothing on his neck. He look foolish, but so he's no waistcoat, no shirt, no waistcoat he's got nothing, but a coat

he's got a coat with blood which he doesn't have trousers on his trousers. Okay, so he is, he is just like like he does, that he has trouser. Well, that's a different energy years and a coat stained with blood. Okay, so he's covered, but still crazy. Look but ok, he had been robbed then pond the rest of his clothes for gym the gym craze A couple of days later, he was arrested for debts- okay, as a mother having nothing on his neck, which read foolish crime. His mother came to France and paid his debts and got him out and she took him back. That's a good look yet sorry Mummy. And then she took him back to England, but he owed money everywhere and he spent his days running from town to town trying to avoid bailiffs and stay out of jail. This kid was a million,

It too is just with his mother and nothing but like a jacket with blood on it. Like sorry moment, this is a good reason why there should be a massive inheritance tax. Yes, even the death tax, we call in America, so he he's running from China, town trying to water, but nobody's eventually rested and put in a shrewd very jail for everyone, a thousand and debts. Ok, he drank so much in prison Doctors gave him up as helpless. What what can okay it just does. It sounds like a different time for doctors normally they'd be like here's. What you've gotta do another Michigan yeah, that's a zombie, turn this one off dead. Man done his mother came live with him in jail. What the fuck An option: what is this, what can't you do a jail,

You bring your mother in by the way movie. That's a good luck for the other prisoners, tough guy. I live with my mommy now. Would you like it here? also what she have going on? Nothing, nothing, nothing while I think Try to get him again, moving celebrate jail, As she stay with him all the time,

he died there soon after on March, twenty ninth eighteen, thirty four accurately quote a round shouldered tottering old young man blooded by drink, worn out by too much foolishness too much wretchedness and too much brandy. He was just thirty eight Jesus Christ, though he was clearly a mess for years. He was remembered for his lack of malice, innate goodness and generosity. Over three thousand people went to his funeral. Many were his fellow soldiers, former tenants and servants and then just general well, wishers, Appley or Nimrod, published in John's biography in eighteen. Thirty, five, many roads and streets to this day are named after him in the County of Shropshire. Well, if you I mean I feel like this is the druggist man we ve ever had

so I did a third okay. So yes, it's quite right. We ve gotta, but this man, I think the state tax is that's what the messages a rich people's money he's then he would have to earn his way takeovers. two yeah. I guess you if you're rich enough to own, if you're rich enough to ride, bears right. Horses through homes have monkeys that fight put servants on ice to escape and then have rats chase. Here I will soon have multiple children abandoned your family. Keep running away from your debts, keep drinking like yourself fire by putting a candle under your shirt, to get rid of your hiccups.

Essentially, you are a little out of touch with the regular person. That's right! That's right!. And in America we don't get rid of the death tax, which we know we don't have a death tax. They get rid of it right, yeah, right cause that was going so poorly right, as you can see, since they got rid of it Everything's going great sources, mad caps, progress by Richard. Dar well and then, of course, Nimrod wrote and this guy just kept the name Nimrod forever. Proudly he wrote memoirs of the life of the late John Bitten Esquire of Helstone, Shropshire, with notices of his hunting, shooting driving racing eccentric, an extravagant exploits I'll send. When did he come up with the mittens? that's right what they put on his hands so that he couldn't actually grab anything anymore. Eventually, they just gave him like to Ivan B.

Also mango the king of pickles, the life in times of Squire transmission of Helstone lots of Jean Valjean was worth. That is a bit. written about him yeah that mango the pickle man. What is it called the mega king and Pickles mango king of pickles, okay, hope, you're happy. I feel good. I feel real good yeah normal as usual you realize now my family's gonna go get on a curry bus and take them back to her. Hair was a bang, but you wrong. Thank you guys very much for coming out. We appreciate it.
