Was William Shakespeare a Phony? – Episode #4
Was William Shakespeare a Phony?
This episode turns from the usual political and paranormal territory to a literary one: did William Shakespeare of Stratford upon Avon actually write the roughly 38 plays credited to him. The hosts frame the authorship question as a debate that picked up steam in the 19th and 20th centuries, built on the idea that the man from Stratford may have been a front for the real writer. They are careful to note this is a minority position against the accepted history, but they walk through the case point by point anyway.
The core of their argument is an almost total absence of paper trail. No manuscript, letter, or document survives in Shakespeare’s own handwriting, not even a rough draft of a play. His parents, John and Mary, were illiterate, as were his wife Anne Hathaway and his children, which the hosts find hard to square with a man producing the most celebrated body of English literature ever written. There is no surviving record that Shakespeare ever attended school. His will, which the hosts read as another clue, misspells his own name, never mentions owning a single book or library, and famously leaves his wife only his second best bed. When he died, there was no public fanfare or funeral befitting a man the hosts describe as the most famous writer of his era.
They also point to the content of the plays themselves. Shakespeare’s writing shows a strong command of Latin and Greek and leans heavily on Italian settings, and the hosts cite a claim that roughly 30 percent of everything attributed to him is set in Italy, despite no record that he ever left England. That mismatch, paired with a vocabulary the hosts describe as running into the tens of thousands of distinct words, is presented as more evidence that the plays came from someone with a very different education and life experience than the historical Stratford glovemaker’s son. The hosts rattle off a long list of historical figures who have voiced the same doubts over the years, including Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Joyce, and Helen Keller.
From there they get into who might have written the plays instead. Their leading candidate is Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, a wealthy nobleman, poet, and patron of the arts who spent roughly a year and a half in Italy with documented expenses, and who contemporaries described as a master of prose at the royal court. The theory the hosts favor is that writing plays for public audiences was considered beneath a nobleman’s status, so de Vere paid an actor named Shakespeare to serve as the public face for his work. They mention the 2011 film Anonymous, which dramatizes this idea and adds a subplot involving an illegitimate child with the queen, and they name Sir Francis Bacon as a secondary candidate before returning to de Vere as their favorite.
The hosts do not fully agree with each other. One leans hardest into the Oxfordian theory and builds on it with his own speculation that de Vere may have had an illegitimate son who was quietly funded and credited as Shakespeare so the real family connection would never surface. Another host pushes back throughout, defending the traditional account and insisting Shakespeare was simply a singular talent. By the end they land on a shared, more measured point: it is entirely possible for someone from an unschooled, illiterate household to become a genius, in the same way modern savants defy their backgrounds, but the complete lack of any supporting record for the most famous writer of his time strikes them as more than a little suspicious.
- Shakespeare is credited with about 38 plays, an enormous body of work for a single writer of the period.
- No manuscript, letter, or document survives in Shakespeare’s own handwriting.
- Shakespeare’s parents, his wife Anne Hathaway, and his children were reportedly illiterate.
- There is no surviving record that Shakespeare ever attended school.
- Roughly 30 percent of Shakespeare’s plays are set in Italy, despite no record that he ever traveled there.
- Shakespeare’s will misspells his own name, never mentions owning any books, and leaves his wife only his second best bed.

Welcome to our next episode of The Conspiracy Podcast, this is Eric, Shan, and Jorge. Uh, this episode we’re on Shakespeare, William Shakespeare, Willam, the most renowned playwright of all time, supposedly. And what’s the conspiracy? So uh, a lot has been, especially in the 19th, 20th century, about the fact that Shakespeare didn’t actually write the plays attributed to Shakespeare. Really? Now and that’s a fake, a fraud? Well, somebody wrote them, but just not him. Him? So he was, he was like, he was like the front guy. Yeah, and he had a ghost writer kind of. Yes, okay. Yes, so we’re gonna kind of go through, yeah, we’re gonna go through kind of like what, some evidence that maybe would say that he didn’t actually write it, him as a person.
So William Shakespeare originally was an actor. Well, that makes sense, this charismatic [bleep]. Give an example of actor who all of a sudden turned into the most famous, most eloquent writer of all time. Well, obviously it’s never happened before, so yeah, there’s no probable example. I was thinking more like, uh, um, uh, Goodwill Hunting, where Ben, Ben pretended, and like, $200, how you like them apples? Exactly. So uh, all, all in all, Shakespeare wrote about 38 plays, and these, that’s a [bleep] lot of plays. It’s a lot of, um, this is, you know, Hamlet, aell, this is not just 38 plays, like classic. And, and this is, this is when jul, um, this is when plays were like the, this is before movies.
Yeah, this is when plays were like your only real source of entertainment. That’s right, that’s right, Henry V, Richard III, I mean these are King leer, MC Beth, like yeah, these are classics. Like these have all been made into movies. Yes, like, all right. Uh, so a couple things that are strange about Sir William. Wait, wa, wait, William, is he a sir? No, he’s not, I just made that up, okay, sorry. I was like, holy [bleep], I didn’t realize he was a sir. So like, it’s, I took, I took honors English class, like I [bleep] read a [bleep]. Have you read a lot of, have you read some, like, or or or watched that?
[bleep] was not translated to Spanish, almost, it’s barely translated to English. Jio was not in espanol. Yeah, uh, we don’t, we don’t have this, the Mexican, the Spanish. So, so, but like, Shakespeare just started off understanding his impact, right? We, I don’t even understand half of what he writes now. It’s also so like Old English that, like, you’re like, what are you [bleep] talking about? Yeah, and then Scholars will tell you it’s so beautiful, and, and it is, because it’s so intellectual, but it’s out of our vocabulary. So William Shakespeare is, is known as the most, he’s the goat, he’s the goat, he is the goat of writing, he’s the goat.
And um, so there are a couple strange things about that, right now, that we know, like we’re establishing, he is the goat. Yes, 100%, okay good. There is zero evidence that he wrote anything, no pen, no, no pen marks, zero evidence. There’s nothing handwritten by Shakespeare. Well, how do they know it’s not handwritten, did they [bleep] type it up? Yeah, wait, they had typing back then? Sure, really? Really, yeah, no way, I, I was just kidding, well mean it’s not like a typewriter, but it’s, it’s, uh, it’s a printing press. Well, so someone would write it, and then like print it, okay. The point being is nothing has survived.
No, so there’s not like, oh, like we can, we can actually, this is, we, we can look at his like signature, and then that’s, but there’s also nothing that says that he didn’t just say, hey Sean, write this down for me. And then PR sure, maybe he had a scribe. Sure, he had like his own personal subcribe. Absolutely, but I’m just saying, of all those plays, nothing survived, that’s a little weird. You think that [bleep] would be a museum, like they’d have a [bleep] Museum, that’s point one, right? And um, so his parents were, uh, John and Mary, and believe it or not, classic English mom and dadan and Maria, believe it or not, believe it or not, John and Mary were illiterate.
Okay, completely illiterate. I totally believe it, it’s England, like England sucked back in the day. It was not like some glorious, like super uncommon? Yeah, okay, but keep in mind, the point of that is that your parents are illiterate, therefore you are illiterate, or at least it’s not like passing knowledge. Yeah, they’re passing, they’re not reading you like bedtime stories. Yeah, exactly. Uh, so his wife was named Anne Ha away. No way! Correctly? You got to be kidding me. For sure? Is that true? That’s true, yeah. But she is hot? I, I don’t know. Uh, but no, his wife was illiterate too. Okay, so everyone’s illiterate.
So no one can, illiterate meaning they can’t read, they can talk. Well, they can’t read or write, okay? Yeah, that’s, isn’t that the definition? I think you’re right, sorry. So his wife was illiterate, and, and halfway, uh, and his children were illiterate. Okay, so how, okay, how the [bleep] can the greatest playwright in the history of mankind, saying none of his family can write or read, his parents, his wife. Can he just have somebody transcribe what he wants? But how can you be so, how can you be so in talk about the top? Yeah, the tip, the goat. Yeah, it’s like saying Tom Brady’s like the goat, but he like, he can’t actually throw.
No, then he wouldn’t be the goat. Well, how can he be the go, [bleep], can’t write, can’t write at all? Oh, read. But you can have somebody write it, you could still be brilliant. It’s like Stephen Hawkin can’t do math, but he, like, the greatest physicist in the hisel, like, doesn’t make any sense. Like, oh, you can’t talk, you can’t move, doesn’t mean it takes away from his Brilliance. Shut up. Sure. No, no, that’s right. No, he’s right, but we’re going to keep going, okay, we’re going to go further, let’s see what else. Deep, there is no record of him going to any sort of school.
Okay, so he’s just inherently a, a genius? Not to say he didn’t go to school, obviously he probably did go to like a grammar school. Or did he? Clearly not. Good, there’s no record. Or did he, there’s no record, ex, this like aame, like right, it’s insane, actually crazy, there’s no record he actually lived. It’s, which, by the way, how, how common or uncommon is it that there was no records back then of a lot of things? I feel like they recorded everything back then. CU they had nothing else to do. And that might be the problem. That might actually be the underlying problem, is that there’s not a lot of records for, for pretty much anything.
Here’s the other thing, there are pretty much zero letters from Shakespeare to anybody, which just goes further to prove how he was. So there’s no letters, like he didn’t write, dear, dear Oxford, OFW, dear Oxford of GW, the king, au’s cult, King’s C, there’s no, there’s nothing. Well, that was, and especially that was like their only form of, like, communication was like letter. And the big analogy, the big analogy of the time was Vol, you ever heard of? I have, I have heard of Al. Yeah, uh, he has 20,000 letters. What? Wow, okay. And he is [bleep] zero. Shakespeare is zero. Shakespeare is [bleep] zero, zero items.
Weird. Sketchy, yeah. Um, so the idea here is, is just the fact that there’s just so little evidence that existed about him, that is just a strange, it’s a strange situation, it’s a strange situation, you know what I mean? Yeah, and um, in his will, okay, so he died, who wrote the will? Yeah, that’s what, question. So let me just tell you, so he’s in his will, he misspelled his name. I don’t even know how to spell [bleep] Shakespeare, so I’m not even that mad at about. In his will, he miss, he made no mention of a vast Library. Like, let’s say he didn’t go to school, let’s say he was self-taught, and he’s like, [bleep] it, I’m just going to have, yeah, I’m crush it, I’m going to just self libraries, you know, blah blah blah.
No mention of any books. Wait, wait, wait, you know when he did, you let me say what he did leave. No mention, nothing. He left his wife like 20 bucks. He left his wife his second best bed. His second best bed? Where did the first best bed go, he like die on it? I’m not kidding, that’s in his will. It went to the real halfway, I leave this, I’m The Pick of, I’m not even kidding, his will says, I leave my wife my second best bed, my second best B. What a douche, what a weird thing. So not only, Not only was he L liter, but he was also a dick, accurate, okay good.
So just to give you an idea, I, a quick question, did he spell William wrong or Shakespeare wrong? Shakespeare. Okay, that, okay that makes more sense, yeah, Shakespeare, because if he spelled William wrong I’m like, okay he’s 100% a fake. Yeah, so uh, Bill Shakespeare. So Scholars will tell you that Shakespeare had probably one of the biggest vocabularies ever. He had, uh, but is there proof behind that? Yeah, how does that, they did? So, so uh, they’re like, iwitness account, just to give an idea, talking? No, no, no, I mean just in his plays, his vocabulary, his [bleep] plays, his, they wrot, they figured it out, they figured it out, he had 29,6 different words.
Okay, but different words? He was illiterate, vocabulary? He was, what, he was illiterate, but his parents were illiterate, his children were illiterate, and his wife were ill illiterate. Okay, this doesn’t make any sense. I’m just, this is [bleep], these are facts. I have never, I haven’t even said nothing there. I’ve never even spoken 29,000 words. Well, I have, obviously, je, you know what I’m saying. So I want to just give you some, some people who are doubters. Me? Well, yeah, so like, no, I’m GNA give you famous people, okay, who are doubters, Shakespeare’s wife, intellectual Minds. No, intellectual Minds who are also on this side of like doubters, you ready?
Mark Twain. What a good, what a good guy, Mark Twain. I believe him. Sigman Freud. Okay, whatever. Ralph Emerson, Charles Dickens. So all the best writers on the planet. Nathaniel Hawthorne. So all the best. Von bismar, James Joyce, Charlie Chaplain, Wells, Malcolm X, Helen Keller. Wait, Malcolm X, that’s such a random. I’m just listening out, he wasn’t even aiter people. Anyways, there’s a, there’s a long list, there’s a long list of people who are on this team, like this. So it’s just one of those things, it’s like, hey, everybody says this guy was great, this guy wrote it all, and it just kind of keep going, everybody keeps believing it.
No, these guys say they, he didn’t, that he didn’t, that’s what I’m saying. So like it’s like one of those things, everybody just says that he did it, and it just, everyone kind of believes it. Like it’s almost like this is like the biggest, it’s like almost like this is like, this is ocean 7even, like this is, like this is, he was Danny ocean and he totally [bleep] Bamboozled everybody. This, we’re on to something here, right? So all these famous people, like, are on this Bard, so they’re on, they’re on this, on this crew. It’s, it’s, it’s pretty wild. Like, uh, weird, sonara, the idea behind it is that Shakespeare was an actor and he couldn’t have written it, it’s so intellectual, it’s so marvelous, it’s so wonderful, it’s impossible.
So do we have a theory of who? Coule, theories, yeah, I would like to know that. That’s actually great, for than, there’s a couple, there’s a couple theories. Um, also keep in mind, just real quick, before we jump into the theories, uh, when he died, he left his wife a second bed, di, almost nothing happened, no one cared, no funeral, no nothing. No, no big, no big funeral, no big thing, no thing, really? Yeah, there wasn’t like a [bleep] parade, nothing. Yeah, but was he already huge back then? Yeah, or, or was it one of those things, is like, hey, after the artist dies, everything gets better.
Thisy big, this isn’t like, this isn’t like [bleep], this isn’t like a, not, yeah, this isn’t like, like a painter, like where a painter [bleep] gets huge if they die. No, he was like the tits, okay, like royalty and [bleep] would go see his [bleep] place. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there, that happened where there was nothing, no Fanfare, no. That, see, that’s the biggest for me. So a couple other things, just before we get into the whole candidates of who it could be, right? Candidat. So if you’re, uh, if you spend a lot of time with, with, uh, like, like reading and, and watching and listening and stuff to Shakespeare, he’s, I don’t, he’s got a pretty big command of Latin, Greek.
I know, most, I feel like most of his [bleep] isn’t [bleep], and a majority of it is based in Italy. This [bleep] cannot have written this [bleep], it’s impossible. Speak record, there’s no record, that’s a glatton in eighth grade. There’s no record of him ever going to Italy, yet half of his plays are, are pretty much set in Italy. Like, so set in Italy, like you describe how the, the boat dude comes into the dock along, you know what I mean. You know what, this is, this is literally like, it’s like a night’s tail with, this is literally a night’s tail, but Shakespeare style, like he was a random peasant and he took over, shakes, the real Shakespeare, like died, and he, like, he was like, it’s me, I am Shakespeare.
Well, uh, so somebody combed through it, and apparently 30% of all the, everything written by Shakespeare was set in Italy. 30%, like that’s crazy. Yeah, that’s, that’s so weird. Never went there, like, were England and, like, Italy, like, on good terms even back then? I don’t know the answer to that. I think, I think probably relatively. I mean, you would have a, you would need a letter of recommendation. Yeah, so like, how, how it would, would work is, if say you were like in the mid-range of the class, yeah, you’re like, I’m, yeah, and you’re going to go, say you’re going from London to Rome, you would need like an intro letter, you like, papers, like.
Yeah, and then what you do is you go, you go to the, I don’t know, like the myom leard recommending me for Arch Bishop, and you have letters from the queen, and you say, this guy’s cool. Oh, that, because Italy back then was like fully run by the church. 100%, 100% run by the church. Yeah, so that makes sense. Um, anyway, so there’s no evidence of him ever going to Italy, yet all of his shit’s in Italy. 30%, yeah, okay, that’s big. If I own, if I own 30% of anything, that’s pretty solid, with, with like clear details, and, oh, super, you know. I mean, Romeo and Juliet is pretty much all set Italy.
I mean, like, even those names, like Romeo and Juliet, Italian names, like. Yeah, there’s not one English man named Romeo. I promise you there’s a. Yeah, there’s a, there’s a bunch. Yeah, there’s a bunch. So, but anyways, so that’s, think, I think aella was, was. Yeah, I think so, I think so. I mean, I’d have to brush up a little bit on my, my old Shakespeare, Shakespearean, my Shakespearean players. I, I thought his plays were just [bleep] [bleep] boring, cuz I didn’t know what he saying. Oh, I didn’t know what he was saying, same, same. But no, if you dive, if you dive deep, he is crude, like he has the dirtiest jokes that I’ve ever heard in my life.
Really? Oh my gosh, yeah. If you go real deep, I wonder if Shakespeare’s un audible. Oh, it’s, but it’s hilarious, like he’s actually hilarious, you know. But it’s, it’s like the crazy, it’s not like a direct, like, dick Venus joke, yeah, she said a thousand years ago, it’s the humor that was back then. Thou Art horny, yeah, no, it was a, it was a crazy. Um, he was, he was pretty marvelous, he was pretty wonderful. But another Point that’s really important is to know that, that back in the day it was, uh, it was taboo to be an actor. It was, it was taboo? I thought it was like that, it seemed like it was like.
No, it was not really, like, like be a writer, to be a writer in the court, like it was not, it was not really. It wasn’t like Hollywood, where it was like, yeah, it’s like actors, like, let’s bring it on, like. Yeah, well, what, why Brad Pitt to the party? Well, why did everyone go to the plays then? No, they did, but it was at the same time Court, I’m talking about the Royal, like the tops, right? So this leads into his writing, all has to do with, you know, royalty, and it had to do with, you know, a feuding families, true. It was the hierarchy, Hamlet, The Prince, and the, you know, oal, and like all the Henry.
And it kind of leads into, it leads into, you know, who it could be, right, because it could, could have been the, the biggest Theory, there’s, there’s two, right. The biggest theory is Edward de, mhm, who the [bleep] is that? Said he’s an Earl. He was an ear, he’s a real, he’s a real Shakespeare, okay, he’s, thanks, he was the, uh, Earl, he was the 17th Earl of Oxford. That sounds like a low post. In the, no, 17th Earl, like his Earl, the 17th, 1, the 17th Earl, I understand, of Oxford. Yeah, yeah, so there was, there’s 16 others before him. That’s right, okay, I thought he, me, he was like, and the totem pole.
He was like, when, as just to give you an example, he was, um, he was one of the richest Earls that existed when he took the title, and then, by the end of it, he had spent it all. Oh, on, on, on the plays. Well, he, he went to a little place called Italy. Ooh. Oh yeah, he, he spent like a year and a half there. Okay, so it’s, it is fact that he was in, 100%, now, it all, he records, he has, like, where he went, what he spent, like, you know, he’s got receipts. He hired, he had a, a whole team of, uh, what he would do is he would put on shows for the queen, and plays, and, and things.
He was very, he was a poet, and he was, you know, he was clearly literate. Yes, he was very 100% literate. A lot of people had talked to him about, or had said about him, that he was the master pros of all the Royal Court, you know. So, so there’s pretty much people saying, like, this guy had skills. That’s right, but, and the conspiracy here, but since it was too taboo, that’s right, to like be a part of this as a royal, then he, he hired this [bleep] scrub, he’s like, yo, you’re going to be my front guy, guy, I’ll give you, like, I’ll give you a couple loaves of bread and like a couple Pence here and there.
And I could buy that, I buy that, yeah, like. So, so he didn’t want to be known as a silly little writer. I don’t think you can be, in his post as an Earl, you can’t, you can’t be seen as that, it’s like it diminishes the title. Yeah, that’s right, that’s right, so that is pretty much what I consider the biggest candidate, for sh, is Edward de. Like, what if Shakespeare was like the bastard child of one of these Royals, and so they, he, like, you know, like maybe one of these Dukes or some [bleep] was like, oh, had a bastard, peasant people, and it’s, all the records were, oh, he’s a literate, blah.
So he made sure that there was no records of this person, like, no, because I can’t have it traced back to me, especially since he’s so famous. And maybe got sent to some special schools that no one knew about, cuzz they couldn’t have some peasant guy going to some legit School. Covered it up, cover, cover up, and then he become Shakespeare and then, I don’t know, but what did he do with his kids, he clearly was a generate dad. I mean, he was too busy living the life, you know, at the, at the orgies, and like, you know, like at the court [bleep] balling, you know, like wh, and flowing like the Nile, you know, sorry kids, you’ll think later.
After mom, sleeping in my second best B. It’s pretty wild. I don’t, I don’t really get it, I don’t really get all of it, because it’s like, he, he writes the most eloquent [bleep], yeah, an intellectual, like intellectual things that I can’t even catch up with. Now, did they say that, did he have money, like did he make, did he make cash from this? No record. See, that’s, see that’s where I think is a little, it continues to be no record. That’s why I think, like, it’s a little weird, like, cuz you think if you’re the greatest playwright in the history of mankind, you got to be getting some like dividends.
Totally, from the place, got to be making some kind of coin. Yeah, he, he had more than one bed. Yeah, so he have some cash. There’s a crazy, uh, there’s a movie, and the movie is not that good, just as an F, Shakespeare and love, no, definitely not that. Um, it’s called Anonymous. Really, that’s a weird name. Yeah, it’s called Anonymous. Well, it’s about Edward D, oh, and he hires this actor named shakespears to be his pen name, and he has an illegitimate child with a queen. Whoa, who does, crazy, Edward de. Oh, see, what you saying, literally both of our theories have combined. I, literally the movie is pretty farfetched, like it’s pretty.
I’m telling you, there’s only, there can only be one reason that the records are scrubbed, is because it’s somebody who’s important, was like, you can’t know I did this, that’s the only way. That, especially with someone, is that crazy, some, there’s not one play, he’s, he’s in the public eye, like this is the most talked about [bleep] celebrated thing, it’s literally lasted until now that we’re talking about it. Yeah, and there, it’s impossible that someone is so important that they didn’t want the records to be found. They didn’t want it to be known, with that, they didn’t want it to be known, so they were like, no.
I had never heard about this conspiracy theory before, it’s pretty wild, like there’s just no evidence. Yeah, I, I, yeah, I go with Edward, Eddie, good old Eddie. I mean, Eddie sounds good, but I do think there is some sort of Love Child thing. I think Eddie was probably like maybe the main guy, but maybe he had, you guys call him Eddie, [bleep] Eddie, I think Eddie had a love child who was like, well, I can’t let this kid just be [bleep] for the rest of his life, so I’ll just feed him, I’ll feed him these plays, he can be, have his own thing, but no one’s going to know where he came from, no one’s going to know anything, and I’ll just keep giving him the stuff, and I’ll be his, like, kind of like his private donor, so to speak, because it’s my kid.
I really believe that there’s some sort of blood, there’s some, like there’s some secret weird Roy Love Child Court action happening. 100%, it’s interesting. 100 [bleep] per, yeah, that’s [bleep] crazy, isn’t it wild. It’s actually really crazy, and you, when you go deeper and deeper and deeper, there’s like famous people, and there’s movies, and there’s documentaries, and there, you know, there’s a lot of credible people who are behind it. Yeah, who were like confused, they’re like, that this doesn’t make sense. That, some, craziest part is that we’re all agreeing on this same conspiracy. I don’t like it because we’re all agre. I know, right, you guys are wrong, Shakespeare was the [bleep] man, like, hee, it all.
So let’s, let’s talk about, like, for SEC, for a second, like, so could he have done it with what we know? I mean, okay, like, no schooling, illiterate whole family, it’s 100%, it’s 100% possible. I think it’s possible, it’s 100% possible, the only thing that, that makes it not seem probable, yeah, is that there’s no record. When you’re the most famous person of your time period, the, the sing, most famous person in your time period. And there’s no data, something should be there, there, H, it’s like one of the 38. It’s like saying, like, it’s like saying, like, no one knows how Elon Musk became Elon Musk.
He’s like the richest guy in the world, and everyone’s looking at him all the time, but like, we don’t know, we don’t know where he came. I don’t know how he learned how to read, like, like what, like how did he get so much money, no one knows, like it doesn’t make any sense. Like, yeah, it’s possible, it, it’s not probable. Exactly, I get it. Yeah, so I believe, like, obviously, like people do it all the time, or, like, they’re not, we were just talking about it, um, you know, Goodwill Hunting, there’s people like that that are like Savant, and like they’re inherently gifted. But when you’re the most famous dude in your [bleep], in, in this genre, in a genre, true, like in perpetuity, and there’s no data, right?
Okay, okay, suspect, sus, right? Yeah, super, theyve made a movie about every one of your plays. Accurate, yes, there’s, there’s a problem, hundreds of books, like it’s just ridiculous, tons of iterations, doesn’t make sense. So somebody, somebody, there’s a love child. Well, there’s, there’s one other person who’s like at the top of the list, and it’s, um, Lady Gaga. No, it’s, Sir, Sir Francis Bacon. Oh, I hope it’s, it’s that guy, [bleep] yes. Uh, I’m not sure if he’s related to Kevin. He is, it’s, or crispy, crisp e, crisp e bacon, chis e bacon. But there’s, there’s a lot of theories, and, but I’m a little bit more leaning towards Edward de.
I’m leaning towards Edward de’s son, William de, Bild de, and, and the reason he called him Shakespeare is because he shook his spear at the wrong [bleep] puss, and then had a lovech child, and then, I was, look, look where it left you. Well, it’s, it’s a pretty, it’s a pretty crazy story, and, and uh, for those listening, I, I would definitely recommend checking out, like, more into the story, there’s more, you know, into the court, the Royal Court, the queen, uh, the possibility of Edward de being involved with the queen and thing, you know what I mean. It’s, there’s a lot more to dive into, and it’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re a Shakespearean type of, uh, individual.
This is very true, because there’s just, there’s clearly just holes, you know, because, yeah, like there’s obvious holes. I mean, obviously, like human society has been the same kind of way the whole time, and you always record the people that are important. Yeah, always, there’s always records of the important individuals, all the Pharaoh, you know, we just recently did an episode about pyramids, you know, there’s, there’s records on all the Pharaohs. And this was like [bleep] thousands of years, and we all, we have is a misspelled will leaving the [bleep] second, second best bed. Come on, man, I don’t even have a second bed to leave.
Literally, my second’s old bed, literally was old bed, was my second bed. I’m not even lying, it’s a true story. H, didn’t like the mattress that he got, they got a new one, I took, cuz now that sounds weird. No, he, he bought a mattress, he didn’t like it, so I took it, he bought a new mattress, so I, that it wasn’t a used thing, they’re very open, very open, they didn’t bone on it or anything, I swear, true dat. Anyways, next, before you leave, though, please comment, I want to know what you think about the Shakespeare thing. We, we’re all very interested in, in kind of your thoughts, and, and if you agree with me, because you should.
All right, thanks everybody, thanks for listening.
