1
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to Who Did What Now?

2
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: The history podcast that is not your history class with me,

3
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlotte and reader of books.

4
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: My body is finally readjusting to being back in the country.

5
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, jet lag is a bit let me

6
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: tell you, Like I thought it was a really smart idea.

7
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. I wouldn't have it any other way, actually,

8
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: is I literally get back on Monday, and I go

9
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: back to work on the Tuesday, so like fly across

10
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: the Atlantic, lose a day effectively, and then just go

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: straight to work. Like my idea was that if I

12
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: do this, then I won't like force my body into

13
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: some weird cycle and I'll just make it like readjust

14
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: basically like doning it off and on again. I'm like,

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: let's rebook this as quickly as possible. And I just

16
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: kind of thought that would be a better idea. Now

17
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: I realized something recently because I was listening to a

18
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: lot of podcasts because I listen to more podcasts when

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: I travel, which oh it's so good actually, because there's

20
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: so many that I need to catch up on, and

21
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: because I'm so busy because a lot of the time

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: i'm reading or I'm writing, I don't get a chance

23
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: to like listen to a lot of stuff. And yeah,

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: I realized that I used to have a disclaimer at

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of episodes like way back because history, as

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: a general rule is full of quite a lot of

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: horrible stuff which some listeners may find disturbing. And this

28
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: week I'm talking about a man from history, which is

29
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: what reminded me of it more so, because yeah, if

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to hear about misogyny, tyranny, sexual assault,

31
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: or a historian who swears like a sailor, you might

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: want to exit stage left. So like, there's this is

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: a content warning, blanket warning, like it's going to get bad,

34
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna get bad, Like I'm gonna talk about

35
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: horrible things and so many venereal diseases. But yes, I

36
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: do have news. I know some of you have been

37
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: waiting a while for this, who have known this for

38
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: a while and are like, finally, Kerry, But my new

39
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: limited series podcast is dropping this week. Day and Nightshade

40
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: is a project very very dear to my heart and

41
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: my friend and co hosts Jay Well. Oh we both

42
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: really love poison, like we know far too much about

43
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: poison for regular humans who don't use it in their

44
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: day to day lives. And that's the story we're sticking with.

45
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: And the first episode will be dropping here and it

46
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: is a little different to Who Did What Now, But

47
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: I do hope you like it. It is a labor

48
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: of love for me, and I do hope you're enjoying

50
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm back on education mode because some people don't know shit,

51
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: and also don't know about fascism, it seems. But anyway,

52
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Katie, quite your

00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: comfortably good, then let's begin. Errol Leslie Thomas Flynn was

66
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: born on the twentieth of June nineteen oh nine at

67
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Battery Point, Tasmania, somewhat geographically challenged.

68
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Tasmania is an island that is part of Australia. Well,

69
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: it's an island state. There's Tasmania, which is like the

70
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Big Island and like thousands of other wee islands around it. Right,

71
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: It's about one hundred and fifty miles south of mainland Australia,

72
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: and most importantly of all is the home of the

73
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: Tasmanian devil, a carnivorous marsupial, which is endangered by the

74
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: way cideber. I have such a soft spot for animals

75
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: that are little shits, you know, I do. I love

76
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: them so much like I have great joy in my

77
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: heart for Tasmanian devils, the honey badger, Canadian and the

78
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: other kind, mute swans, male comedians that are actually funny, crawls, casseries,

79
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: and other such creatures. I just I just love them

80
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: so much anyway. Errol Leslie Thomas Flynn was born five

81
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: months after the marriage of his parents, Theodore Thompson Flynn,

82
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: a biologist and zoologist, and Marel so Morel was born

83
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: Lily Mary Young that changed her name after marrying, which

84
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if you're gonna change half your name,

85
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: you may as well change all of it, right, sidebar,

86
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: I know, two sidebars? This soon shut up, Okay. I

87
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: have seen so much discourse in the last week about

88
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: whether or not you should take your spouse's surname. Like

89
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: it's such a weird argument to have. And I say

90
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: this as someone whose surname is like four generations in existence. Right,

91
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: it's it's made up, it's pretend. And here's the thing, Like,

92
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: there is an argument, and I don't understand why, because

93
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: there are two very very reasonable options for how to

94
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: choose the surname. One you choose the name that is

95
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: either cooler or easier to spell, and that's for both spouses, right,

96
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't care. You know what variation of salt and pepper.

97
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: You are right, doesn't matter because you just have whatever

98
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: name is either really cool or easier to spell. This

99
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: is just the how you go through life, right, Which

100
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: one is going to be easier shouted when you're at

101
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: the restaurant picking up your takeaway dinner? Or which one

102
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: is going to sound really cool? You know, as they

103
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: say it on the intercom, so you to catch your flight?

104
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Which one? And of course option two you each select

105
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: a champion and then they fight to the death, and

106
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: whoever is still alive at the end. Your name winds easy, peasy.

107
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you can always just like choose a name.

108
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: You can put it through a Wu Tang clan generator

109
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: or something figure it out. I mean, that's mystery door

110
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: number three. But anyway, Morrell I saw, like at one

111
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: point I was I've ridd a lot of stuff about

112
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: this women, like she's named as an adventuress, and frankly,

113
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't need to dive any deeper into that because

114
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: I've decided that's good enough. I'm like adventurous sure, Like,

115
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: I just love that as a title. She was an

116
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: adventurous cool. Now Eerl is actually really really mad when

117
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: he realizes that he was conceived out of wedlock, except

118
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: his issue is specifically that his mum had premarital sex.

119
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: Like your dad did too, buddy, Like that's how you're here,

120
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: Like what in the double standards? Like Errol, he has

121
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: such hatred and victoriol towards his mother, which a lot

122
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: of the time fair enough. However, that doesn't carry through

123
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: to his father. He doesn't treat them in the same way. Now,

124
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: it could be the fact that she was the primary

125
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: caregiver and he was a well lot, but we'll get

126
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: into that in a moment. Errol Leslie Thompson Flynn, listen.

127
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: He has so many names. Every now and again I

128
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: like to say them all. He was the first of

129
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: two children born to the couple. He had a sister,

130
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: Norah Rosemary Flynn, who would follow a decade later. So Theodore.

131
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: Errol's father was the very first biology professor in Tasmania.

132
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: Like he was a smart okay, and he was often

133
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: away for work. Like he was away just so much. Now.

134
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Erle would say that his maternal side they were seafaring

135
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: in heritage, which honey, sweary sugar dumplin. Okay, listen, if

136
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: you were in Australia, at the turn of the twentieth

137
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: century and you're white. The seafaring you're referring to is

138
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: a penal ship. That would be a ship of criminals,

139
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: not a ship of penises. Well, Gimsie Gamsa, Okay, okay, okay,

140
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm not here to insult a bunch of colonizers. I'm

141
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: just saying that if you happen to be a person

142
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: whose natural skin tone resembles raw chicken in a country

143
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: in the southern Hemisphere that is known for having the

144
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: hottest summer climate and highest sunshine duration, well chances are

145
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: your ancestors arrived on a convict ship, although you know,

146
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: Irish people nowadays just show up on a gap year.

147
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: But Theodore, being a biologist and zoologist, he really liked

148
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: them animals. Though, oh, I'm so glad Australians can take

149
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: a joke now. Honestly, if I had said that to

150
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: so people, they would have got like so zuber vetted.

151
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: But Australians would have been like ha ha maybe. But

152
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: yet Theodore, being a biologist and zoologist, he kept a

153
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: whole array of animals in the garden, which for a

154
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: child was pretty cool. Like he had a whole host

155
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: of animals, like from marsupials to like the tassy targer.

156
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: That was a weird way to say it, Targer, the

157
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: targer is that the tassy tiger. Again, Errol never talked

158
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: about his father the same way that he talked about

159
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: his mother, Like there's never the same disdain there now.

160
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: I am not saying that Morel was mother of the year,

161
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: because she was not. But she was a young woman,

162
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the early twentieth century, whose husband was

163
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: often absent in a time where Carl Perol punishment was

164
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: the norm, and Flynn, Errol Flynn would often refer to

165
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: his mother Morel as a cunt. He was often beaten

166
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: as a child. Again, corporal punishment was the norm. I

167
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: am not saying it was good. I'm not saying it's acceptable.

168
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's what people did now, Like they

169
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: used to hit you in school if you wrote with

170
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: your left hand, like you would get beaten with a cane,

171
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Like it was so normal up until what the sixties seventies, Like,

172
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: I mean that went on further in some establishments, Catholic skills,

173
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: but it continued for a long time. So when Errol

174
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: was seven years old, his mum caught him and his

175
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: neighbor playing doctor, and by playing doctor, I mean they

176
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: were showing each other their genitals. He said. She gave

177
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: him a good thrashing, which translated is she whooped his ass.

178
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: As a result of the scalping, he ran away, only

179
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: to be returned three days later by farmers when he

180
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: came by looking for work. I'm seven, I can totally

181
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: work on your farm. Parents, and what parents don't ask

182
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: about zoology. So he spent a lot of time at

183
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: the pictures as a kid. So the cinema. So when

184
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: I was little in Scotland, we used to call it

185
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: the pictures. I still call it the pictures. Clearly, it's

186
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: the moving pictures. It's it's cool. Like I still see

187
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: going to the pictures as a treat. I like going

188
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: to the pictures. I like going there and having my

189
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: popcorn in my ridiculously oversized carbonated beverage and watching a

190
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: movie with friends or myself or on a debt. I'm

191
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: just saying cinema dates are under rated. But I digress.

192
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: So he ends up spending a lot of the time

193
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: at the cinema because his mum was shagging the owner

194
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: of the local cinema, so he would get to see

195
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: all the films for free. So basically what would happen

196
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: is like he would come over, he'd pick up Morell

197
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: and Errol and then drop Errol off at the cinema

198
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: and then go out and they would boink. So yeah,

199
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: it seems like both Errol and Morrell never got the

200
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: attention and affection that they wanted from Theodore, who only

201
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: seemed to get excited about University of funding and the

202
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: reproductive systems of Australian mussupials. And I also want to

203
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: point out that while Morel was having her affairs at home,

204
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Theodore was having his affairs away like he was constantly

205
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: out shagged about, Like I know what you're thinking, a biologist,

206
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: Really that nerd is getting all the women apparently. So now,

207
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: Theodore clearly very intelligent, and Earl, although not a dunce,

208
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: struggled in school. And I say struggled because he went

209
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: to a few of them. So he was at the

210
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Hutchins School, the Friend's School, a we're a primary school.

211
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: Like his behavior resulted in him being expelled from all

212
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: of them. Now I'm honestly in the mindset actually that

213
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: if Errol Flynn had not become an actor in Taken that,

214
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: like Root and Life, he would have probably just become

215
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: a serial killer. And you might be thinking, Katie, that's

216
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: a very harsh line to say about, you know, a

217
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: swashbuckling hero. Well did you ever hear about the time

218
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: that he made a human set paid of ducks? Okay?

219
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: So he is like surrounded by all these animals and

220
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: he's like, this is really interesting, and there's a bunch

221
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: of bloody ducks around, and he notices that if ducks

222
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: eat fatty pork, it basically runs through them like super quickly.

223
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: It just goes tother digestive system right in one end

224
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: and out the other. And so he ends up tying

225
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: the fatty pork to a piece of string. This piece

226
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: of string I think is like ten feet long. So yeah,

227
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: he feeds it to a duck and then to another duck,

228
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: so it's going duck after duck, and it basically creates

229
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: again just ask to mouth. He's just got sorry, beak

230
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: to tail, beak to butt, beak to butt. He has

231
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: this just like chain of ducks, right, and he shows

232
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: this to other children, like he's all proud of himself,

233
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: And I mean one could argue entrepreneur. You could also

234
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: argue beginning of serial killer. So he's like charging children

235
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: to come and see his duc apede. Right, there's just this,

236
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this party chain of ducks. And when

237
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: his father returns, Teddy Boy sees what he's done, and

238
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: he is so incensed that he beats him with his brolly. Right,

239
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: he hits him so hard that the umbrella breaks when

240
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: it hits across his back. And this is a child, okay,

241
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Like that's not a strong like space. Those bones are

242
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: still forming, so yeah, he does not horrible things. Also,

243
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: as a child, like he starts acting, so he has

244
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: acting or a serial killer. I'm just saying. Because when

245
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: he's nine, he performs as a page boy to Enid

246
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: Lyons in a Queen carnival. So Dame Enid would go

247
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: on to be an Australian politician. Now she's I think

248
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: best known for being like the wife of the Prime minister,

249
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: but she was a fairly decent politician in her own right.

250
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: But in this performance, right that he's playing her page,

251
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: they come third in the carnival. So like that doesn't win. Now,

252
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 1: when he is ten years old, his little sister Norah

253
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: is born. Now I am not here to argue parentage

254
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: of Norah. Whom's to say? But oh, oh my goodness,

255
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, actor or serial killer, I totally forgot. Okay,

256
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: So Errol is a child. He is a child. The

257
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: family has a puppy, right, it is a little terrier,

258
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: a fox terrier if I'm not taken, and it bites

259
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: him because it's a fucking puppy, and puppies bite. Okay.

260
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's because they need to chew things. Sometimes it's

261
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: because they're just snippy little shits. Okay again, soft spot

262
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: for little bastard animals. So the puppy bites him, and

263
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 1: when it bites him, Aero Flynn throws it, and the

264
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: pop lands in the fireplace with the lit fire. Accidentally,

265
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: he throws a live puppy into a fire. Right, I

266
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: told you. It just gets worse from here, guys, Okay,

267
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: so right, you will never look at Robin Hood in

268
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: the same way again. Right, So moving on, When Aero

269
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: Flynn is twelve years old, he loses his virginity to

270
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: the family. Made Now, I don't want to be a

271
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: prude here, but also that's for fucking rape. Okay, that's

272
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: that's not cool. That's twelve. That is a child. Okay, no,

273
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: that's not okay. I'm no, I'm not gonna get incensed

274
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: over this, because I will, but that's not fucking cool.

275
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, he loses his virginity to the family maid

276
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: and I disgusts me so much. So anyway, the family

277
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: move around a bit between affairs and work and the

278
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: fact that Errol keeps getting expelled, so he ends up

279
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: going to the Southwest London College for two years. It

280
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: is a private boarding school in London. And this is

281
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: during this time, like, this is where his mother and

282
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: sister I think moved to France for a bit because

283
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: they're just like, no, we're done Theodore. So they just

284
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: kind of go for a bit. They do reconcile later

285
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: and they it is kind of it's a back and

286
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: forth situation. But yeah, when Errol is about sixteen seventeen

287
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: years old, he is back in Australia at Shore sho

288
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: R which was the Sydney Church of England Grammar School,

289
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: which I'm going to be shocked. He is also expelled

290
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: from right like he claims that he was getting a

291
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: scrub a dumb dub with the school lawn dress, but

292
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: in actual fact he stalls it theft. He was expelled

293
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: because of theft, and he tries to make it seem

294
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: like it was because he was just this Don Juan situation,

295
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 1: but not. He stole crap, He was a thief. He

296
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: got expelled, and that is how he ends up looking

297
00:21:52,720 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: for a new route in life. Errol Flynn is seventeen

298
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: years old and it seems that he's ran out of

299
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: educational establishments across two continents, and so he decides maybe

300
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: education is not for him, and he gets a job

301
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: with a buddy he met while staying with relatives in Sydney,

302
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: Kenneth Hunter Care, a wealthy socialite. They got on. They

303
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: were really good buddies because they both liked pretty girls

304
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: and playing tennis, which, as male friendships go, is a

305
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: pretty solid base. Kenneth doing his bro a solid gets

306
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: him a job with a shipping company. Basically it's importing exporting,

307
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: mainly importing, and he's working for them. However, Errow gets

308
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: fired for stealing because he pilfered the petty cash. Like

309
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: you have a good thing going, like you have it ready, job,

310
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: You're friends with a socialite. So you're getting access to

311
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: all the good places and you're still stealing shit like

312
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: not a wise man, I shall say. So, he's like

313
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what to do next, and another

314
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: friend convinces him to join one of the razor street

315
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: gangs in Sydney. Now, on a scale of one to

316
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: invading Russia in the winter, how stupid is this idea

317
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: because it's joining a razor gang in Sydney. Right the

318
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: very first week that they are in this razor gang,

319
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: his friend is accused of being a rat and shows

320
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: up dead in an actual gutter. You know when your

321
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: parents would be like, you could end up in the gutter.

322
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: This is what they fucking mean. He was gutted in

323
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: the gutter with his throat cut with a razor. I

324
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: know you're shocked that the Razor gang would do such

325
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: a thing. Needless to say, Errol, although again not the

326
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: sharpest spoon in the cutlery drawer, was smart enough to

327
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: not want to get murdered by a razor gang and

328
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: have his mutilated corpse dumped in a gutter. And so

329
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: he decides to get the heck out of Dodge. So

330
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: he tries to do a bunch of stuff and then

331
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: settles into classic colonialism for five years. He's in Papua

332
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: New Guinea. According to Errol, he was a boat captain,

333
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: a fisherman because he may be beautiful, but they're keeping

334
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: his ideas on file in a filing cabinet. He's a

335
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: tobacco farmer, a failed gold prospector, and he even had

336
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: a stint in the colonial government until he lost his

337
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: job because he was shagging someone's wife and then got

338
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: into a public fight with said husband. Right, so he

339
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: was like some government lackey. He was doing bits and

340
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: pieces and being him shag somebody's wife. Now he also

341
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: starts contracting malaria, so it does become recurrent, but like

342
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: this is the starting point for it. Now, yes, it

343
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: does get worse by the way it always gets worse.

344
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: By his own admission, he acted as and I quote

345
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: slave recruiter, slave recruiter. Now, okay, I'm not entirely sure

346
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: that one can recruit people for slavery, because it I'm

347
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: fairly certain that it's more like actually just enslaving people.

348
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: Like at one point he purchases an indigenous girl to

349
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: be his servant, but he also slept with her right,

350
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: the person with no rights and who could not consent.

351
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: Now there's a word for this. I feel like there's

352
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: a term which covers this specifically. Yeah. Yeah, So Aeroflynn

353
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: claims that he fled New Guinea after being ambushed in

354
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: the jungle. His assistant was murdered, and Flynn shot one

355
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: of his ambushers. Like one of these raiders, he shoots

356
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: them in self defense. He goes on to claim that

357
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: he was arrested and charged with murder, only to be

358
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: saved by the testimony of an old gold prospector. It

359
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: really does sound like an adventuring story, doesn't it. That's

360
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: probably because he fucking was one. See, it was not

361
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: an ambush and murder trial that sent him packing. No,

362
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: the reason that Aeroflyn left Papa, New Guinea was because

363
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: he contracted gonor rhea. That's right, his pain has got diseases. See,

364
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: when he was a cadet patrol officer, when he was

365
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: at the coconut plantation, he would not do his job. No,

366
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: he'd ride around, get drunk, go swimming, visit brothels, and

367
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: then all of his other tom fuckery. No wonder he

368
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: contracted a sexually transmitted infection. Oh, and in the middle

369
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: of this right whole scenario, he gets engaged to Naomi

370
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: Campbell Dibbs. They don't marry, but they are engaged for

371
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: a time. Right. So this pen is disease, right, his

372
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: goner rhea. It is curing an era, which is before

373
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: like antibiotic treatment. Right, So he's getting the good old

374
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: treatment of permanganate of potash injected directly into his urethra.

375
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: He thought that if you took double the dose it

376
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: would cure faster, but that's not how menacing works. No,

377
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: So yeah, he almost blew out his bladder because he

378
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: was like, just keep putting more up there. So yeah, yeah,

379
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: this lasted months and he had to go through this

380
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: very painful treatment four months on end, and yet he

381
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: never learnt his lesson. Back in Sydney, Errol Flynn has

382
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: somehow offered a lead role in an Australian film in

383
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: the wake of the Bounty Now. He claims that he

384
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: was sailing to New Guinea with a executive who was

385
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: looking to shoot b roll footage, and this executive who

386
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: is doing all this work and a cameraman. He takes

387
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: one look at the dashing boat captain and goes he

388
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: has a face for the moving pictures, and so he's like,

389
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: look at this hot young captain. I have to put

390
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: him in a film. So he's in this and the

391
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: reviews are not great, both for the movie itself and

392
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: also his acting. Now he is playing Fletcher Christian and

393
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: this sparked the acting bug in him, not playing enid

394
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: Lyon's page way back when he was nine. No no, no, no,

395
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: this is it. This is where it comes from. But

396
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: before he tries his hand in acting, he heads back

397
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: to Sydney for a love affair with an older woman

398
00:29:54,640 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: whose name is Madge. Now, he admittedly could not keep

399
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: up with Madge's sexual demands. Basically, she had a voracious

400
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: appetite and he could not satiate her, and so he

401
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: decides to leave her while also relieving her of her jewels.

402
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Now he absconce as one does, but the police, they

403
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: actually do catch up with him. Unfortunately they cannot find

404
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: the jewels. Now he had hidden them in sort of

405
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: a hollowed out like shaving brush. So back in the

406
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: olden days, right, men used to use a soap bar

407
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: and this little dense brush if you wear make up,

408
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of like a kabooket brush kind of that's sort

409
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: of sort of with like a dense little brush. So

410
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: they would soap it up and lather up and soap

411
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: up for faces, like, I am doing the movements here

412
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: as if you can see me. I know you can't

413
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: because this is an audio format. But no, so it's

414
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: just like lathering up the face so that they can shave,

415
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: because you need that sort of lather. So he had

416
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: it hauled out and he had the jewels hidden in there,

417
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: so they don't arrest him because they're like, no jewels,

418
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: no crime. He makes his way to Queensland and gets

419
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: work as a sheep dagger, which is someone who castrates sheep,

420
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: just in case you didn't know that inflammation. He manages

421
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: to lose this job too. He is fired from this

422
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: after he is caught in bed with the farmer's daughter.

423
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: It's almost as if history keeps repeating. It's almost as

424
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: if he is not learning from his mistakes. So he flees,

425
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: and as he leaves he meets a new friend and

426
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: lifelong friend, doctor Herman Urbin. Right, So these guys are

427
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: thick as thieves, which is good because they are See

428
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They get to the Philippines They've been

429
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: traveling all over the globe. Right, they're in brothels, they're

430
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,239
Speaker 1: in bars, they're gay in that loll day. Right. They

431
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: get to the Philippines and get involved in cock fights,

432
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: don't so yeah, Doctor Urbin suggests that they lace a

433
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: rooster's beak with snake venom and rig fights to scam money,

434
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: and Earl, who does not have a moral compass or

435
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: a backbone, is like, sure, typically it would take a

436
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: few minutes to work, so naturally people assumed that the

437
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: contending rooster died from their injuries, right, so they get pecked.

438
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: The venom would take a while to go through their system,

439
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: and then they die, and they're like, oh no, this

440
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: rooster lost. Now, this was how things were going, and

441
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: things were going well until suddenly, and without warning, one

442
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: cock died immediately after being picked. The scam was uncovered

443
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: and they were ran out of town. They make their

444
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: way to Macaw, where a beautiful scammer and a casino

445
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: tricked Errol out of his winnings and introduced him to opium.

446
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, now he got his shit stolen, and honestly,

447
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: good for her. He and doctor Urban both joined and

448
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: affected from the Royal Hong Kong Army volunteers. That was

449
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: a choice at some point. I believe it's in Vietnam.

450
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn contracts Vady, which he calls the Peril of

451
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: Grape Rice. Luckily he has a doctor with him. They

452
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: get chucked off his ship in Sri Lanka because he

453
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: was shagging someone's wife. Again, you're shocked in fringe. So Maleyland,

454
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: which is now Djibouti, he starts a fight with customs officials,

455
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: because of course he does. They make their way through

456
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: Ethiopia and Morocco before finally arriving in England. So like

457
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: they split ways at some point during this Now he

458
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: goes from Morocco to England. So clearly this is missing

459
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: from a lot of the information. So did he go

460
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: through France? Did he sail around the Mediterranean? Because him

461
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: and doctor Herman, who's again an Austrian doctor in the

462
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: early twentieth century, they split ways and so off he goes.

463
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: He get to England and Aero Flynn manages to get

464
00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: work as a stage actor with the Northampton Repertory Company,

465
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: which was for a while up until he threw a

466
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: female stage manager down a stairwell like no, you can't

467
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: throw women down the stairs. Who do you think you are?

468
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: Princess Diana Jesus. So he ends up getting apart as

469
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: an extra in a film I Adore You by Warner Brothers,

470
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: and producer Irving Asher liked the look of Flynn and

471
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: cast him in A Quota Quickie. Now, A Quota Quickie

472
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: was a film, a British film. It was made in Britain,

473
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: and it was made in order to satisfy the quota

474
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: requirements of the Cinematograph Films Act of nineteen twenty seven. Now, basically,

475
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: so many British films had to be made per year,

476
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: and they had to be shown in British cinemas, and

477
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: they had to be filmed in British studios or interior

478
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: scenes had to be filmed in British studio. And it

479
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: was like a big deal, a big thing, and so

480
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: so many movies had to be made per year. And

481
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: so Irving Asher he's in the UK, he's making some movies,

482
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: and so he's like, you know what, let's get this

483
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: guy in one of them. And so he has Flynn

484
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: in Murder with Monte Carlo. And it's again not a

485
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: great movie, and Asher he sees something here, something in

486
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: Ero Flynn, and he cabled Warner Brothers in Hollywood and

487
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: they flew him out to LA and next thing, you know,

488
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: the twenty six year old was the next big thing.

489
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: They've decided Ero Flynn is going to be the next

490
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: man of Hollywood. He's got his contract. They were like,

491
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: who is this handsome man from Australia And I'm just

492
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: trying to imagine him like a thick Australian accent, so

493
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: as she did. But anyway, when he gets there, right,

494
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: they start promoting him as Irish. They're like, Errol Flynn.

495
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: Flynn's an Irish name, that'll do. Now. His dad's family

496
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: were of Irish descent, and his mom's that, you know,

497
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: my wobbly there. But he's there and he's like, I'm Irish.

498
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: And he says that the reason that he was being

499
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: pushed as Irish was because he believed that no one

500
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: in America knew that Australia was a real place. So

501
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: on the boat over to the US, I love the

502
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: fact that I'm like, they flew him out to LA.

503
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: They didn't fly him out to LA. That's that was hyperbole.

504
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They sailed him out to La they put

505
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: him on a boat. Okay, okay, so they put him

506
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: on a boat and they sailed him across And on

507
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: this boat he meets Lily Demita, a French actress, and

508
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: may he reluctantly marries her. But he's got an image

509
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: to maintain, and Hollywood is very specific about how they

510
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: want to portray you, and you have to follow the rules.

511
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 1: So this is a tempestuous relationship. Like they're always fighting.

512
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: It's not helped by the fact that he is a whore,

513
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,959
Speaker 1: but yeah, they're always fighting. And their last fight ended

514
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: with her smashing a bottle of champagne over his head

515
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 1: and him punching her in the jaw, breaking her tooth.

516
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: Now again again not acceptable, not appropriate, But like the

517
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: studio covers us up. Basically they end up in recovery

518
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: for weeks, and the studio claims that the couple were

519
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: in a car crash, not that they had a fight.

520
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: She hit him with a bottle and he punched in

521
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: the face, breaking her tooth. But like through Lily, Lily

522
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: is just sort of really well loved as a person

523
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: in acting circles and art circles and all this stuff.

524
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: So like through her, he meets so many of who

525
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: we would now see as you know, the stars of

526
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: the Golden Age of Hollywood. And also like they travel

527
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: to Mexico and she introduces him to Diego Rivera and

528
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: Frida Calo like, and Diego is the one who introduces

529
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: him to Weed. He's like, have you tried this? And

530
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: the of Flynn's like not yet, but yeah. So like

531
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: he has some parts to begin with in Hollywood. They're

532
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: not like big hurrors or whatever, but he's got a

533
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: few things and he's well received. Now the issue is

534
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: for Lily is that her accent is quite thick for

535
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: American audiences and they struggle with it, so talking for

536
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: her not great. But Errol is selected personally for the

537
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: role of Captain Blood by Jack Warner himself, and he's

538
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: just like, this is a big deal. This is the guy,

539
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: and this makes the studio so much money. It is

540
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: a massive hit, and he is now a swashbuckling sex symbol.

541
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: Now he ends up being like sort of co starring

542
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: with Olivia de Haviland alot, and she's what eighteen or something,

543
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: she's super young and he's in his twenties and so

544
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: like they have to do all of these scenes together.

545
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: These are like romantic scenes, and she has to kiss him,

546
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: and she is I'm gonna say a bit of a

547
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: shit as well, because what she would do is she

548
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: would deliberately try and like sauce it up and she

549
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: would sort of go extra, shall we say, in the

550
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: romantic scenes, especially when his wife Lily was there on

551
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: set and it got to the point that things were

552
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: getting a bit you know smotherery and he had to

553
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: readjust his tights. But yes, eventually Lily and Errol separate

554
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty seven because like he is just going

555
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: off the charts with fame and also he is dipping

556
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: his spoon in so many honey pots. So he moves

557
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: in with David Niven and they start having orgies like

558
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: and these orgies end when Errol Flynn allegedly is makes

559
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: a pass at David Niven and also allegedly's Ronald Reagan.

560
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: Now again with these orgies, like loads of people came

561
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: out like after the fact saying that they were in

562
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: sort of like a flag ray with him with Errol Flynn,

563
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: Like everybody was putting stuff into everyone, you know what

564
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean. It was just kind of you know, fingers

565
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: and pies or pie holes and whatnot, so on and

566
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: so forth. Now with less orgies to occupy him, Errol

567
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,439
Speaker 1: wanted a break from Hollywood, so he in his good

568
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: pal doctor Herman Urban. They decide to go report on

569
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: the Spanish Civil War. Like he's done all of these movies.

570
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: He's just kind of like, I need a break. And

571
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: so this is a big fucking deal. You have this

572
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: Hollywood heart throb who is going to go report on

573
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: a civil war over in Europe. Like he thinks he's

574
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: gonna have his like Hemingway like dream. He's gonna be

575
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: like cool and cultured and report on shit. Now he's

576
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna go right articles It's for one of William Randolphurst's magazine,

577
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: because of course it is. And he's gonna go there.

578
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: Doctor Urban's gonna take photos. It's gonna be a whole thing.

579
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: Except okay, here's here's a small daney downy, downy downy

580
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: issue with this whole scenario. See doctor Herman Urban. The

581
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: Austrian doctor was a known Nazi operative and I mean

582
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: known as a known by the FBI. So like when

583
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: he's taking pictures for Erow Flynn and the magazines, he

584
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: is also sending pictures back to the fucking Nazis. Okay, right,

585
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: So Errol is like pro left faction, right, he wants

586
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: them to beat the fascists. He's very much pro lefties

587
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: in this scenario. So that's basically the area where he

588
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: tends to be. Now, I don't know if you know

589
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: this about the Nazis, but they fucking hate leftists. I

590
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: know people are like, but aren't they socialists. It's in

591
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: the name, Matt. I got things about the tip mouse

592
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: that's gonna fucking knock your socks off, right, I don't

593
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. The flying squirrel doesn't actually

594
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: fucking fly glades, bitch. I don't know what more you need, okay, right, okay, right, sorry,

595
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm getting that great now, Like people like Germans who

596
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: were out fighting on behalf, like of the Spanish, like

597
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: against the fascists. Anyone who volunteered and then was photographed

598
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: by say doctor Herman Urban, who then returned to Nazi Germany,

599
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: was automat locked up in a concentration camp, or simply murdered.

600
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: This is what happened, and this is why, Like for

601
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: a while the FBI thought that Erol Flynn if not

602
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: a Nazi, was a Nazi sympathizer AnyWho. Errol is kicking

603
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: about with leftist fighters and decides to spread the rumor

604
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: that he got shot in the face for funsies, right,

605
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't as if he hadn't been through shit,

606
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: Like he'd almost been crushed by a collapsing balcony. He

607
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: was almost blown up like a few times. But no, no, no, no,

608
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: this is the crappy pools. He's like, whips, what if

609
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: Erol Flynn got shot in the face. And it's at

610
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: this point where Jack Warner is so fucking done with

611
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: his bullshit, right, He's like, get your bitch ass back

612
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: to the States, Like he is so fucking done. He

613
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: is like done with this tom fuckery. And he's like,

614
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn, leave the war torn country and please return

615
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: to the United States of America. And so he does.

616
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: He heads back. Being away in a civil war in

617
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: a country that has nothing to do with you really

618
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: helped Errol focus on what he wanted in life for

619
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: a very short period of time. Okay, It's like when

620
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: you're studying for finals and then suddenly you need to

621
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: reorganize the kitchen cabinets. Now he returns home, he reconciles

622
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: with Lily. They're often on his yacht. He has a yacht.

623
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: It's called Zaka. It's his favorite and he loves it.

624
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: They're kicking about that, and then Lily gets pregnant. Well,

625
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: he impregnant. Lily is probably the more appropriate way to

626
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: say it. No, not appropriate, accurate, it's the more accurate

627
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: way to say it. So she gives birth to their son,

628
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: Sean Flynn, one year exactly before their divorce is finalized. Yeah, yeah,

629
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: she doesn't stick around. So this divorce, this is such

630
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: like a harsh divorce actually, because he had to pay

631
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: Lily a percentage of his salary, right, like a fixed percentage.

632
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: So the more he made, the more he gave her.

633
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: The less he made, the less he gave her, right,

634
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's variable, it's a variable rate.

635
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: But he also had to pay the tax on it.

636
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: So what would happen is like he would pay the

637
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: tax and then her tax would go higher, and so

638
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: then she would sue him, so he would pay more

639
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: tax than it would just kind of like a robberus,

640
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: it would just keep going up game aginger. Now he

641
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: just kind of is caught for this one. I say,

642
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's fair. He just ends up continuously paying.

643
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: But anyway, he's backswashbuckling, making movies, boozing, smoking, smoking, smoking,

644
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: partying and so on. And he moves into a mansion

645
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: on my Hall and Drive and it is, and I

646
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: say this respectfully, creepy as fuck. It has been demolished

647
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: now and I think, like justin timberwagg owns a bit

648
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: of it, which still makes it creepy. I don't give

649
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: a fuck. But yeah, so it had two way mirrors

650
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: and people's so you could just like watch people like that, Earl.

651
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: Not cool. Not cool. So like when World War two

652
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: breaks out, well, I mean, I say it breaks out

653
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: when it finally reaches America in nineteen forty one, people

654
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: start enlisting. Now, Earl. He becomes an American citizen sort

655
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: of during this because foreigners were not allowed to own

656
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: boats that were over one hundred and fifty tons, and

657
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: he did not want to give up his yacht, and

658
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: so he's like, I'm going to become a citizen, and

659
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: so they're like great, So yeah, he tries to enlist, right,

660
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: he tries to enlist, but he is rejected because he

661
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: is fucking riddled, right. He had recurrent malaria. At some

662
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: point he managed to contract tuberculosis. He had a large

663
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: heart chronic back then from all of his swashbuckling stunts,

664
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: and he had a whole host of venereal diseases. But

665
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: because he looked fine, he was accused of being a

666
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: draft dodger when really he was just fucked physically. On

667
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: top of that, the government thought again that Dury was

668
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: tying in Spain and friendship with a Nazi, that he

669
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: was either a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer, right, And

670
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: from about nineteen forty two he starts having heart attacks

671
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: like quite regularly. So let's talk about his movies for

672
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: a minute, because I haven't really gone into that, which

673
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: is like, what is the most known for shagging in movies?

674
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: Because it's dimmed to talk about the movies. So he

675
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: is in a bunch of films with Olivia to Haveland.

676
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: They are in eight films in six years, from Captain Blood,

677
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: the Adventures of Robin Hood and basically that's like top tier, right,

678
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: And so they're in all of these films together. Now,

679
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: like he tried comedy, but people preferred to see him swashbuckling,

680
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: but like his comedic stuff's actually pretty good. Now he

681
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: is drinking on set, and it's noticed that he's drinking

682
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: on set, and so they ban drinking on set. So

683
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: what he does is he ends up injecting oranges with vodka,

684
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: and so whenever he would take a break, he would

685
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: just eat these like vodka infused oranges, which is commitment,

686
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: I'll say, like not even hiding it in mouthwashing stuff.

687
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm just gonna put vodka directly into this orange, right,

688
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I keep feeling it's gonna be like

689
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: a clementine or a tangerine or a satsuma, you know,

690
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: because an orange is quite big. I feel like maybe

691
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: it's one of the like smaller citrus fruits. But yeah,

692
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: at one point as well, like he's like, I'm such

693
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: a jokestar and he puts a dead snack in Alivead

694
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: Havlin's underwear, which is I don't know about you, but

695
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: like an animal carcass like and my lauingerie is not

696
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: is not a good thing to do. I don't think

697
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: that's cool. Oh my goodness, let me tell you, but

698
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: Bet Davis, Davis, I love Bete Davis, she's such a bitch.

699
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: So like he claims that she is annoyed at him

700
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: because she doesn't want his sexual advances, when really she

701
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: thinks he's a fucking prick. Right, And they're on a

702
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: movie together. They're on a few movies together, but like

703
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 1: their second movie together, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex,

704
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: where she is playing Queen Elizabeth and he is playing

705
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: the other guy and I don't give a fuck clearly.

706
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: So basically she's in a scene where she has to

707
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: slap him. Right, So they're getting ready to practice, they're

708
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, blocking everything, and he's just being him. And

709
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: she finds out that not only does she have to

710
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: share top billing with the man, but he's also being

711
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: paid more than her, which is why considering she is

712
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: clearly the better actor of the two. And so there's

713
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: a scene she has to slap him, and she's there

714
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: in her Elizabeth regalia, She's got all of her big

715
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: rings on like a knuckle duster, and she's about to

716
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: slap him. She raises her hand and she just goes,

717
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: fuck this for a game of soldiers and fucking whacks

718
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: him on the face. She hits him so hard it

719
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: knocks him for six. Like, he goes down like a

720
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: sack of spuds. Right. So she then goes into her

721
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: trailer and starts like dabbing on her makeup, just as

722
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: one does, and he just kind of stumbles in and

723
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,919
Speaker 1: he's about to have it out with her, and she's

724
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: just like, it's acting. I mean, if you can't handle acting,

725
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: I guess you should go hilselaere. And she's like dabbing

726
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: away and he just like can't handle that, and so

727
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: he immediately goes into his dressing room and pukes. He

728
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: just vomits just from the whole ordeal. He probably had

729
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: some deities too. However, I like to think it was

730
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: a good fucking pam slap from Bette Davis. Now, if

731
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: only she could knock some sense into him. The very

732
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: last film he made with Olivia de Haviland was They

733
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: Died with Their Boots On in nineteen forty two. Now

734
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:29,439
Speaker 1: this is like about Custer and it's anyway. That same year,

735
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: two teenage girls Betty Hansen and Peggy Saturly separately accused

736
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn of statutory rape. In early nineteen forty three,

737
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: the trial took place and he admitted to a consensual

738
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: affair with Peggy, but that he didn't know who Betty was. Now,

739
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: these girls both went like read about the same time

740
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 1: of year. They went in and they reported this, right,

741
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: did it separately. They didn't know each other. They just

742
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: happened to do it around the same time. Now, his

743
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 1: lawyer tore the girls to shreds. Right, one of them

744
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: was an actress and the other one had been arrested

745
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: for giving her boyfriend a blowjob, because apparently both of

746
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: those things are comparable to statutory rape. So one of

747
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: the girls was fifteen at the time of again the

748
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: statutory rape. So Flynn's argument, right, the argument that is said,

749
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: and we still hear it today and it makes me

750
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: so fucking angry. Right, the argument is that ero Flynn

751
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: is the most gorgeous, handsome, sexy man and this girl

752
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 1: is a bit of a munta. Basically, they're saying she's

753
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: so ugly, right that ero Flynn would not want to

754
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: shag her, like, oh, he couldn't have raped her because

755
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: she's not his type. Are you fucking kidding me? She

756
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: was fifteen, Okay, you're in your fucking thirties, man, it's

757
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 1: not cool. It's not acceptable. It is shitty and horrible

758
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: and I don't give a fuck that is a child.

759
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: You can argue with me all you want. You can.

760
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: You can't argue me, you'd be fucking wrong, right, But yeah,

761
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: basically it is an absolute shit show. Like one of

762
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 1: the girls has an abortion and they're like, clearly she's

763
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: a terrible person, and it's like, please, how many abortions

764
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: his fucking Aero Flynn created in the world, Probably more

765
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: than his lawyer knows about. But like fans show up

766
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: every day in support of Aeroflynn, including groups like American

767
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 1: Boys Club for the Defense of Eero Flynn? Fuck? What

768
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: what right you have? All of those people just being

769
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: like he couldn't have done it. He's swashbuckling hero. Now

770
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 1: as someone who really believes that swashbunkling movie should make

771
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: a comeback. Because if we know anything, we know that

772
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: we like people in Billoway shirts. We do. We like

773
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: a Billoway shirt, right, it doesn't matter we watch The Mummy,

774
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: every single actor is in a Billoway shirt, Rachel Vice,

775
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: Brendan Fraser, everybody else. I could go through the whole list, right,

776
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: mister Darcy, Like, we like a Billoway shirt. On a person.

777
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: It's just really sexy. Okay, we love it. Bring back swashbuckling,

778
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: thank you, which is bad when I'm just like talking

779
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: about this horrible, horrible thing. So, while he's at his

780
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: trial for raping teenage girls, he meets eighteen year old

781
00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: Norah Eddington who works in the tuck shop at the

782
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: courthouse or like, she was the cigarette girl, right, So

783
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 1: she's there chewing gum and selling cigarettes and he's like yes.

784
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: So when he's acquitted, because of course he is, he

785
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: marries Nora because she's pregnant and he cannot have any

786
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: more scandal attached to his name. So they get married

787
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: and they end up having two children together, Rory and

788
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: Dear Dream. Then he leans into writing. He's like, I'm

789
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: going to write a book. I'm going to write stuff.

790
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing, but you know when I need inspiration,

791
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: and my inspiration I mean opium. Spoiler alert. He does

792
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: not write the book, and by nineteen forty nine, Norah

793
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: is done with his bullshit and divorces him. So he's

794
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: now drinking a bottle of vodka a day. His lover

795
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: is buggered and he's got hepatitis, which one who knows

796
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: taking his yacht Zaka to the Mediterranean, and he's hanging

797
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: out with all the cool people. Prince Rainier of Monaco,

798
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: who you may know as Gene Kelly's husband. He's with

799
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: King Farouk of Egypt. I don't know if he's the

800
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: one who got shot. Maybe anyway, I'll to double check

801
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: that one Rita Hairworth is there. And somehow around this

802
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: time he gets engaged to Princess Irene Geeka, a Romanian princess,

803
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: like he meets through Prince Rainier or something, and he's

804
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: with her. They get engaged because obviously he's divorced Nora

805
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: or she's divorced him at this point, and then it's like, oh,

806
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: actually no, he decides that he likes somebody else because

807
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: he's in a movie with Patrise Wyman Rocky Mountain. Patrice

808
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: was seventeen years his junior. Oh and he right, He

809
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: doesn't even break up with and says to himself, he

810
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: gets his housekeeper to do it, like first no backbone,

811
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: now no balls? Interesting? Errol interesting. So Errol Flynn and

812
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Patrice get married in the South of France, where Errol

813
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: is yet again arrested for statutory rape of a teenage

814
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: girl on his yacht. So the charge was dismissed because

815
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: the shower in the yacht was too small for two people.

816
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: The shive isn't big enough for two people. You should

817
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: see the places where people have managed to squeeze their

818
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: bodies into, right, Like, there are so many ways the

819
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: human body can conform to a space that you cannot understand.

820
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying I mean

821
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: I am. I mean no, I'm not saying it's a

822
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: crock of shit. I'm just saying that the French judicial

823
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: system maybe sometimes might be a crock of shit. Any Who,

824
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: mister and missus Flynn starts spending a lot of time

825
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: in his estate in Jamaica. They have a daughter together, Arnella,

826
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: and he even has his parents like move to the

827
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: estate and live there too, And it's like, I think

828
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: it's read about this point that he actually realizes that

829
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: his dad is also a big whore and is just

830
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: out like shagging all over the world and that's what

831
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: he was doing instead of being a parent. So he

832
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: is now Errol is on two leads of vodka a day, right,

833
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,439
Speaker 1: He's on a fuck ton of morphine because his back

834
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: is buggered. He's smoking like a chimney, and again Leslie

835
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: forget just all of the things. All of the things.

836
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: And Patrice leg number one and wife number two. She

837
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: is also sick of his fucking shit, and so she

838
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: leaves him too, but they do not get divorced, but

839
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: that does not stop him from finding someone else, because

840
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Patrice leaves him in nineteen fifty seven, and it isn't

841
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:26,479
Speaker 1: long before suddenly he has a girlfriend, Beverly Iardland. She's

842
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: an actress and he meets her when she's fifteen. Now

843
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: he ends up dedicating his book to her, which he

844
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: had a ghostwriter to come and help him write his book.

845
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: Partly he just told them all the stuff when the

846
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: ghostwriter wrote it down. So yeah, so financially, Errol Flynn

847
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: is fucked right. He tries to make his own movie,

848
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: William Tell, but it folds before it's completed. Then his

849
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: business manager die, who, as it turns out, wasn't paying

850
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: Earl's taxes properly and had also been stealing from him

851
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: four years. So Lily, as we know, has like the

852
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: most amazing sort of divorce settlement, so she keeps getting

853
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: money from him, and like he can't pay her, so

854
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: she sues and gets the Moholland Drive mansion, the mansion

855
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: with the peep holes and the two way mirrors and

856
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: all the other creepy shit, and she ends up selling

857
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: that and makes just a good chunk of change off

858
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: it to make matters worse, like just when you thought

859
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Earle Flynn couldn't become a worse person. And he starts

860
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: hanging around with l Ron Hubbard. They are partying, boozying

861
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: andes cocaine everywhere. No, not cocaine, raisins. No, I'm kidding,

862
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: it is actually cocaine. They're just all over the shop.

863
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Now he's hanging it with l Ron Hubbard, but he's

864
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: not doing the scientology stuff like, he's just there at

865
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: a party and it's not cocaine off of I'm assuming

866
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: women's bodies. So nineteen fifty seven again, things are kind

867
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: of shit. But they do start looking up because Jack

868
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Warner personally casts him, and the sun also rises because

869
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn is no longer the hunky, sexy, swashbuckling man

870
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: he was. His face is bloated, he's put on a

871
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: few pounds, he's you know, not you know, just the

872
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: heartthrop he once was, but he's playing disgruntled drunken just yeah,

873
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: and everyone loves it. Critics are just raving reviews. Flynn

874
01:04:55,440 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: plays disgruntled, drunken old rogues for the rest of his career,

875
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: and he's just like this is him. He's typecast again,

876
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: but now he's got the canoe persona and people are

877
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: loving it. So in nineteen fifty eight, Errol Flynn travels

878
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: to Cuba. He says it's for a movie, but it's

879
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: really because he wants to make a documentary on the revolution.

880
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: So the movie Cuban Rebel Girls, which it just sounds

881
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: like one of those exploitation movies, Cuban Rebel Girls. Ooh,

882
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: it's sorry it tanked. And his documentary, his pro Fidel

883
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: Castro documentary, was only shown in one place ever, Moscow, Moscow, Russia,

884
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,479
Speaker 1: right or I think it was the USSR at this point. Now,

885
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: surprisingly enough, people weren't super into that because again there's

886
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: the whole red scale that's happening in Hollywood and yeah, right.

887
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: The funniest part is, like Beverly said that Errol Flynn

888
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: didn't know that Fidel Castro was a communist. It's almost

889
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: as if people don't know what communism is anyway, The

890
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: next year, like, he needs money because things were looking

891
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: up and now they've gone south again, and so he

892
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: needs money, so he decides to rent Zaka, his beloved yacht,

893
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: to a Canadian businessman. So when he's on the way

894
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: to Vancouver Airport after you know, the deal Errol complains

895
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: to Beverly that he's got pains in his back and

896
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: his legs. So basically he's brought to this doctor, Dr Gould,

897
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: who thinks that there's an osteoarthritis situation going on, and

898
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: so he gives dem Roll. He's like, listen, take a

899
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 1: nap for your flight. Take this, it'll ease the pain. DeMarle,

900
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: if you don't know, is Pethodene something that quote? I

901
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: react very well too. You react very well to Pethodene.

902
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: The nurse has told me that, which is how I

903
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 1: ended up falling asleep between contractions. Listen, it's a gift.

904
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, so he gives him the Pathodene. Earl goes

905
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: to have a little nap and so Beverly's like, okay,

906
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: let's let him rest, and she goes away and she's

907
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: away for about twenty minutes, and when she gets back

908
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: to check on him. He's dead. She can't well, she

909
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: can't wake him up. He's like completely out of consciousness.

910
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: He is then taken to a hospital where he is

911
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: then pronounced dead, but basically he takes the perthodiene, he

912
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: goes for his nap and he does not wake up.

913
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: And so On the fourteenth of October nineteen fifty nine,

914
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Errow Leslie Thompson Flynn died in Vancouver, Canada. He was

915
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: fifty years old. Cause of death was a heart attack,

916
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: although he had a fatty liver and other organ issues.

917
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 1: Years of smoking, drinking opium, morphine, and cocaine mixed with tuberculosis, malaria,

918
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,719
Speaker 1: genital warts, goneria, hepatitis, and a partridge in a pear

919
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: tree really had an effect on him. He died owing

920
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: millions and payments had to be made from his estate.

921
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 1: He said that he wanted to be buried in Jamaica. Instead,

922
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,799
Speaker 1: he ended up being buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park

923
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: Cemetery with the six bottles of his favorite whiskey. And

924
01:08:55,760 --> 01:09:04,520
Speaker 1: so ends the story of Errol Flynn, Hollywood's swashbuckling walking scandal.

925
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 1: If you liked my telling of this story of the

926
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,560
Speaker 1: life of Aeroflynn. Feel free to wait and review five stars,

927
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Share this with all your friends and tell people I'm

928
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: cool and shit. There's so much on Hollywood history that

929
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: I would love to talk about. There's so many like

930
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: scandals and big deals and just amazing things that I

931
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: would love to just dive into. But I wanted to

932
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 1: keep it nice and succinct, I think, for this month,

933
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: because listen, we can always go back, because there's so

934
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: much to go back on. And I thought, I'm going

935
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 1: to talk about an amazing woman in the next episode,

936
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,600
Speaker 1: So I thought, you know what, let's talk about a

937
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 1: shitty man, because why not. I'm sure there are good

938
01:09:55,360 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: ones out there. I have a son, I am raising him. Well, yeah,

939
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm joking. Okay, Now there are good men out there. Okay.

940
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:12,480
Speaker 1: We're just in a world which people are suffering, and

941
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: media in society they are creating a blame game, okay,

942
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 1: and they are telling young men that they deserve better,

943
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: and women are finally getting to a point where they

944
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:32,480
Speaker 1: are self sufficient, that they don't have to suffer necessarily,

945
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: they aren't forced like legally into a system of abuse

946
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: where they actually have an option to not be like that.

947
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: And because the boot was always on the throat, and

948
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: now it's not because of the actions of so many

949
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: men for so many centuries. It's not even decades, it's

950
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: centuries that women are revolting against it. And a lot

951
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 1: of young men, I'm being fucking serious now for a second,

952
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: lot of young men they see this, they see this

953
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 1: anger towards men, and they feel hard done by because

954
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 1: they have grown up in a world where they were

955
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 1: not part of it, and now they feel like they're

956
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: being targeted because they don't have the context. And I

957
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,879
Speaker 1: think it's a double edged sword in a way, because

958
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: they're raised in a society where you've got half the

959
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 1: people telling them not to be shitty, because again, generations

960
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: of them have been shitty, and they've got all of this,

961
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, vitriol and all of this sort of perspective

962
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: of these men who are telling them that, you know,

963
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: they deserve all of this. They deserve women, they deserve

964
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, money, they deserve power, and create this idea

965
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: that women aren't people, you know what I mean, it's

966
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 1: just another object to consume, control, in use. And I'm

967
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: not sure of the best way to combat this, Like

968
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what is the best route right now

969
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: because they're not listening to women, and these red pill

970
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: men are just getting more powerful. Like I had to

971
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: explain to my son who came to me one day, going,

972
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: why do women hate men? And I'm like, oh, no,

973
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,719
Speaker 1: it's not that we hate men, It's that we hate

974
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: the suffering that women have endured the hands of men

975
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 1: for centuries, and current generations are neither taking accountability for

976
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: the actions, nor are they trying to improve not only

977
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 1: themselves but the lives around them. Because everything is on fire.

978
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: The world is going to shout, and we should all

979
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: be punching a fucking natzi now the end of the day.

980
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,600
Speaker 1: We all have to try and be better people. And

981
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: I know I've just gone off on this massive fucking rant,

982
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 1: but I'm scared for modern men. I'm scared for these

983
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: boys who have all of these irrational, crazy red pill

984
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: men shouting in their ears or whispering in their ears

985
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: and talking about baghattis and treating women like they're fucking disposable,

986
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: Like we are becoming so disconnected from one another. And

987
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 1: one of the things I really fucking love about this

988
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: podcast is that I reach so many people, and I

989
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: know this is just kind of like, I don't want

990
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: to say share thoughts. It's like word vomit. It's coming

991
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: at me right now. But I really like the community

992
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 1: is growing, and well, history doesn't exist in a vacuum.

993
01:13:55,320 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is part of us.

994
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: It creates who we are today. And I get people

995
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 1: contacting me telling me about how I spoke about a

996
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,759
Speaker 1: part of their history that they never get to hear,

997
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 1: and they're thankful that I'll talk about amb and not

998
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: hide behind this and that. And I know it's such

999
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny thing to do, but if I'm helping

1000
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: someone and even the smallest of ways, then I've done

1001
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: something right. Our purpose in this world is to leave

1002
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 1: it a little bit better than the way we came

1003
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 1: into it, and I think we should all just try

1004
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: and do a little fucking good. Anyway. With that ran over,

1005
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: it is recommendation time for watching. I am going to

1006
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: recommend Game Changer on dropout TV. Now. Am I trying

1007
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: to figure it away to befriend Sam Reisch so that

1008
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: I could end up on one of the dropout things

1009
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 1: for some reason at one point? Maybe? But also I

1010
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: really really enjoy Game Changer. It's so fun. For reading.

1011
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 1: You know what I read. I read Murder, she wrote,

1012
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Dying to Retire. Listen. It's a real book. You can

1013
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: buy it, you can read it. I did. It was fun.

1014
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: And for listening, I have been listening to Sinister Societies.

1015
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: It's a cult podcast or a podcast about cults by

1016
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:32,639
Speaker 1: Hannah and Serati from Red Handed Again. I found their

1017
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: voices so sothing, and I keep learning about really weird,

1018
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: weird cults. It's it's amazing. But yeah, that's what I've

1019
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: been listening to. It's an older podcast, but it's still

1020
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: a goody. And with that rant over, I shall bid

1021
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: you add you au revoir adios. If we diss e

1022
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: my friends, Bye bye
