37:06 - "I've heard that's a Celtic thing" - pardon me? Do you mean a British thing? The native Britons are Celtic speakers but they are not Celtic people, so nothing can be a "Celtic thing" just because a Celtic-speaker Briton does it. The Celtic people are those in France you called Occitans along with Iberians (they are both the same exact people genetically). No one north of Auvergne has ever called themselves Celts nor have they ever been called Celts by any ancient historians - even Strabo and Siculus both said that Celts in Gallia only exist in Narbo and Marseille in Narbonensis and that outside of this province everyone else were Galatai and not Celts. If an Iberian does something, is that a "Roman thing" just because they speak a Romance language? No. The language your recent ancestors spoke does not grant you the right to extend the name of that linguistic branch to your culture. Please don't confuse Celtic speakers with Celtic people, it detracts from your credibility.

@Miasas56 The same thing applies to the Irish. They are just Celtic speakers. Nothing else about them is Celtic historically. The Romans called Ireland "Britannia Minor". They were part of "the British Isles" until a recent change to add them separately. They are of the same genetic stock as the Britons, properly the Welsh. Forgive me if I used linguistic shorthand to refer to the Irish as Britons - and they're the same ethnicity! - so I'm sure you can now appreciate how even more disappointing it can be to see someone confuse Celtic speakers with Celtic people who are of a different ethnicity entirely (Iberian and Occitanian).

Occitans are ethnically Iberian - or vice versa. This spectrum includes the Swiss French (so from Auvergne to Swiss French it skips that middle "alpine hub" you showed on your map at 15:33).
