Yep, The Cru went Welsh, mostly to force Krispy to pronounce the language. This is definitely an odd episode: we discuss why we hate writing, really living out the immortal words of Catullus: odi et amo. Surely you have felt it too: the frustration; the struggle to get words on the page; the "why oh why do I have to love this?" And yet here we are, writing away.
Except for Murph. He didn't write anything, and though his speech may attempt to denigrate the beauty of Vivien Leigh, we all know the truth.
From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:
Eisteddfod (Welsh, 'session') Eisteddfodau were held in medieval Wales and later, largely to regulate the admission of aspirants seeking to qualify as bards or minstrels. [...] They have been held annually since 1880, primarily for the encouragement of Welsh literature and music.
Stories (?) begin around the 20:50 mark.
