| 0:00.0 | Welcome the shaken and disturbed, everyone. |
| 0:08.2 | I am Father God Darren Karp here with Mother God John Thrasher, doing some sort of Zen |
| 0:14.9 | spiritual Tai Chi mixed with pho-gang. With just being gayoging, something. |
| 0:21.6 | With just being gay, yeah, exactly. |
| 0:23.6 | I will say love is one because we always introduce each other as father and mother God. |
| 0:27.6 | I do think that's the documentary that has stood the test of time on shaken and disturbed. |
| 0:31.6 | I agree, well, certainly with our intro, if nothing else, but it's just stuck with us though. |
| 0:36.6 | I just will never forget. |
| 0:39.1 | And I know you know exactly what I'm about to say. |

| 1:21.4 | had texted me. I can't remember if I watched it before him or he watched it before me, but I |
| 1:26.5 | have a vague memory of him texting me being like, you know a doc's going to be good when a corpse is wrapped up and Christmas lights in his colloidally silver blue in the house. And you're like, it is going to be a good documentary. That turned out to be he was dead on. No pun intended on that one. Yeah. All right. Well, let's get into this week's case, John. If you don't mind. Let's get right to it. On June 26th, 1953, Robert John Maudsley was born in, is it spec? Speak or spec somewhere in your Liverpool. Can you ask the internet how to pronounce that?

| 2:05.5 | in the United States. So we can't. We don't have to know it. Yeah, we don't have to know it. It's a different |
| 2:11.0 | intonation of English. So we're okay. Speak. Speak. Okay. It was born in Speak Liverpool as the fourth of 12 children. |
| 2:20.4 | I mean, the middle child and 12 children is like, what, 2 through 11, right? |
