1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Hey there, I don't know why that. That

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: was just in my heart. You got a song in

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: your heart, got you gotta share it. You owe that.

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: That goes for everyone. There's a song in your heart,

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: you owe it to the world to share it. Let

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: us have it. I was laughing at myself because I

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: listened to Zoe Deschanelle talking about her character from New

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Girl and she was like, you know, I'm not the

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: type of person who just sings randomly, but like, I

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: know people like that. And I was just like, I

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: think she's like that type of person, you know. And

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's me, that's you. And sometimes

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: me um not as sporadically like I'll sing to the dog. Absolutely,

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: I'll sing what I'm doing sometimes, but you definitely will

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: just bust out. It's great. I love it. It's like

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: having a bird just always being by some random ship.

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: Any day now I'll shut on some newspaper and let

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: you clean it up. Oh god, no, I hope we

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: don't get to that. That's why I prefer you to

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: a bird, among the reasons. That's the reason I said, quickly,

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: correct course, correct. Welcome back to the show, everybody. Yeah,

00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: They birthed a pirate, the pirates would be and pirates

30
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: sprang from their loins. Yes, I don't know. Would you

31
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: ever if you fell in love with me, a broke sailor,

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: would you leave your comfortable, wealthy life to come live

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: on the high seas? Oh? Ummm, let's see do you

34
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: feel that strongly about me? I've got I've got a

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, a kind of a weird father. Um. I'm

36
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: living in a plantation house in the Caribbean or no,

37
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Um, and things are pretty sweet. And then

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: I decide to fall in love with a broke sailor.

39
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: Do I go off with you? Yeah? What the hell

40
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: sounds boring on the mainland, So yeah, sure, let's do it,

41
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: and because I love you so much, obviously you're more

42
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: devoted than me. I'm not sure I can do it.

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I've been on a cruise before, much

44
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: more comfortable than a pirate ship, and I still was

45
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: pretty ready for it to be over. I mean, to

46
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: some degree a cruise sounds worse than a pirate ship.

47
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, agree with that. But look, you

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: got it's a very rigid schedule. You know, you don't

49
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: get to play under anything except the buffet you plunder.

50
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: You plunder the tourist traps, yeah, the gift shops at

51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: the place you stop. Place did you stop? Like we

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: went to the Cayman Islands? And shirts all right, and

53
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: you know a little wraps like a like rap sounds

54
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: like a sandwich, did not sandwich? Like yeah, the wrong

55
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: like cover ups or whatever? Okayt yeah, and hats you know,

56
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: and some people would get their hair with beads quite

57
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: the hall. Did you bury it anywhere on a desert?

58
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: Pay for it? But it felt like plunder because you

59
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: pay so little? Yeah, well, and then eventually you bring

60
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: it home and it becomes trash. So yeah, it's buried

61
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: somewhere now and it lent felt, so I have a

62
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: very long, drawn out pirate. If you've ever been on

63
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: a cruise ship, you basically know what pirate life was

64
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: like exactly. That's what we're here to let you know.

65
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: Carnival cruises be a pirate today, especially if you were

66
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: ever on a cruise ship and got horribly sick and

67
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: yelled at by someone. Well, cruise ships aside. We're here

68
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: with the really exciting story today. Like we said, we're

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: back in the pirate land, back on the high seas

70
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: of the r R Ridiculous romance are Today we'll be

71
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: spinning your yarn of more swashbuckling scaliwags and masked raisin

72
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: marauders and busty buccaneers. Or here be the tale of

73
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: Captain Calico Jack, Mary Reid and and Bonnie, three of

74
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: the most dangerous, deceptive, and duplicitous pickaroons ever to cross

75
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: the Caribbean. Many sailors thought that having a woman on

76
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: board the ship was bad luck, but Calico Jack sailed

77
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: with two and they proved to be more brave, cunning,

78
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: and ruthless than any of the men they were on

79
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: board with. So let's hear all about the adventure the danger,

80
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: and of course the romance with these three professional pirates

81
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: Hank hers away, Hey, their friends come listen. Well, Elia

82
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: and Diana got some stories to tell. There's no match

83
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: making a romantic tips. It's just about pridiculous relationships. A

84
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: lover might be any type of person at all, an

85
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: abstract concept, are a concrete wall. But if there's a

86
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: story were the second glance, we'll put show Ridiculous Role.

87
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: That's a production off I Heart Radio. So the golden

88
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Age of piracy was this period from around the sixteen

89
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: fifties until sometime in the seventeen thirties where piracy was

90
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: rampant in the Caribbean Islands. This was the time of

91
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Black Sam Bellamy, Captain Kidd Long, Ben every and of course,

92
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: as we talked about in the last episode, Everybody's New

93
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: best Friends, Edward Blackbeard, Teach and Steede Bonnet, the Gentleman pirate.

94
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: I love them still, well, I'm still even though in

95
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: Rey they were terrible, horrible people, but on the show

96
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: they're a delight. Okay. Now, we talked in our previous

97
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: Pirate episode about John Swan and Robert Culifford about how

98
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: being a pirate is not all sea shanties and swashbuckling

99
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: and cool outfits and talking parrots and all that. Of course,

100
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: a lot of that was invented in the book we

101
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: started in the last episode by Captain Johnson. It was

102
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: actually pretty grueling to be a pirate. It was often

103
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: very dull, just long stretches at sea, was waiting for

104
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: the next thing to happen, and full of painful deaths.

105
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there was people hunting you down, There were

106
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: abusive captains. There was disease and starvation and dehydration, the

107
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 1: tie to the bottom of the ship. Yeah. Yeah, things

108
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: could go pretty badly. But pirate ships were run pretty democratically.

109
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: Crew Members usually voted on where to go next. There

110
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: was no uniform, and they had a contract when they

111
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: boarded a ship that predetermined their share of any plunder

112
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: whenever they did a raid on another ship. So it

113
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: still seemed like a better option for a lot of

114
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: people than the Navy, which had a lot of the

115
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: same problems as piracy, but way stricter command. But merchants,

116
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: the Navy and pirates alike all shared the very same,

117
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: very rational idea that there was one big no no

118
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 1: on the high seas. Women could not be on ships.

119
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: This was thought to be terrible luck and to invite

120
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: nasty storms that could capsize and sink even the strongest ship.

121
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, guys, Chinese has got something to

122
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: say about that. I'm saying, right, they're out here like,

123
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: oh there's a woman on ship. Oh but Poseidon, he's

124
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: losing his aquatic ship. Can't handle it. He's gonna send

125
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: a starm after us. Maybe it's just a big wet

126
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: T shirt contest for It's like I'm just trying to

127
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: splush and water on those big billowy shirts. And I mean,

128
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: I guess that's kind of true. Because the same superstition

129
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: held that naked women could actually calm the sea. What

130
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: a justification, right, That's why some ships had a mermaid

131
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: with their tits out on the bow of the ship.

132
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: It was like the main way they were like, hills, Yeah,

133
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: this this will calm, give us calm weather. Nips out,

134
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: soun's out, funds out, boobs out, show me the bees

135
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: and you'll have calm seas. That's the old the old

136
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: pirates saying. I love to imagine the pirate It was like, oh, sorry,

137
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: ladies would love for you to stay about their seas

138
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: don't take kindly to ladies on boardy unless unless you

139
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: show me the boobies and then average things actually better.

140
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: This hurts me as much as hurt you. Look the

141
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: sea God's demanded. I mean, I don't make the rule.

142
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: But honestly, the origins of this whole superstition are a

143
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: bit dubious. The Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy, Cuthbert

144
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: Collingwood once wrote, quote, I never knew a woman wrote

145
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: to sea in a ship that some mischief did not

146
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: befall the vessel. And this is often cited as the

147
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: source for this whole belief. But David Accordingly writes in

148
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: his book Women Sailors and Sailors Women on Untold Maritime

149
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: History quote, as with so many sailors superstitions, it's hard

150
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: to discover the origins of this one, and even harder

151
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: to find factual basis for it. He points out that

152
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Pilgrim ships and many of the ships that followed were

153
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: loaded with women, and the British Navy even allowed officers

154
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: wives often to live on board, and he says, quote

155
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: those naval officers who did object to the presence of

156
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: a woman on their ship seemed to have regarded them

157
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: as a nuisance rather than a source of bad luck,

158
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: and that's probably where a lot of this history really

159
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: comes from. It's not so much that women were bad luck,

160
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: but that captains and officers thought that women on board

161
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: would be a distraction to their crews, and there's definitely

162
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: rampant misogyny and sailing culture. Historian Kyle Dalton writes that

163
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Collingwood's quote about women bringing mischief onto ships is more

164
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: likely about an officer being concerned that as boys were

165
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: going to act foolish. So it's like a elementary school

166
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: dress code something over here, just another time in history

167
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: when men couldn't control themselves and women were blamed for it.

168
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: But still there were a few women who found their

169
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: way onto merchant, navy and pirate ships alike, but very

170
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: cleverly wearing pants so brilliant my genius disguise. And that

171
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: brings us to today's heroes and heroin's. In our last episode,

172
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: we told you the story of Anne Bonnie's birth as

173
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: it was told in Captain Charles Johnson's book A General

174
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: History of the Pirates, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And you've got

175
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: to go back and hear that full story in all

176
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: of its insanity. But it ends with Anne at about

177
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: eighteen years old, living with her wealthy merchant father, William Cormick,

178
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: and she fell in love with a broke sailor named

179
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: James Bonnie. Now this really piste off her father, William,

180
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: because he'd wanted Anne to marry a rich guy like

181
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: you do, and was a real firecracker. I mean, she

182
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: had a serious temper and she was prone to violent reactions,

183
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: but James wooed her with adventurous stories from his life

184
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: at sea. William got so angry when they got married

185
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: that he kicked Anne out of his house and cut

186
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: her off entirely. Now this really threw a wrench in

187
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: James Bonnie's plans, who was kind of hoping to inherit

188
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: his father in law's big fortune. So he turns to

189
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: Anne and says, I'll just go be the greatest pirate

190
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: to sail the Seven Seas. And it's rumored but unproven, that,

191
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: in response to her father cutting her off, and Bonnie

192
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: burned his plantation to the ground. Ye that was Anne,

193
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: So whether or not that's true, the next thing they

194
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: did was happa ship and make their way to New

195
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: Providence and the city of Nassau in the Bahamas. New

196
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: Providence was poorly defended. It had become a haven for pirates,

197
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: and by seventeen thirteen, over a thousand pirates lived in Nasa,

198
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: way out numbering the four to five hundred English citizens

199
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: who lived there too. And Anne, it was all about

200
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: that pirate life, salt life. Baby. He thought this sounded

201
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: way better than inheriting some su meliol fortune anyway. And yeah,

202
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: it's the golden age of piracy, right, this romanticized notion

203
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: if a pirates life was already a trending topic, you know. Yeah,

204
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: she's definitely fallen for that. Yeah, she's fallen for the hype, right,

205
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean this is the you know, seventeen teens and

206
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: um Captain Johnson's book came out in seventeen twenty four,

207
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: Like this is still the arrow where everybody's talking about pirates,

208
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: Like they were talking about it while it was happening.

209
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't just history that looked back on it. Yeah,

210
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: pirates were cool. Yeah. So Ann and James show up

211
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: in NASA, are ready to cut throats and swash buckles

212
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And she's like ready at a rumble.

213
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: She starts urging James to go into local taverns and

214
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: find a good captain who needed a cruise, like, let's

215
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: get this going. I don't want to hang out in

216
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: this island forever. Get out there. And for whatever reason,

217
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: James Bonnie did not find himself on a pirate crew.

218
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: We don't know why. I'm thinking, uh the world speculation,

219
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: port speculation. Uh you know, maybe he was just like

220
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: super lazy, Like he shows up like I should to

221
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: be talking to those people, but I don't want to,

222
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, Or he's like just maybe he's just bad

223
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: at introducing himself, like me, Like he shows up to

224
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: a party and he's like, I don't know anyone here,

225
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna sit and wait for someone to

226
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: come talk to me, you know. For the opposite, he's

227
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: like super extrouted eight And then he gets home and

228
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: as like, who'd you meet And he's like, oh my god,

229
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: you know what, I never got their name. I was stupid,

230
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: Like we had a great time four hours talking about stuff, like,

231
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: oh man, that guy was fun. That's name. They all

232
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: said they were leaving in the morning to damn it cute.

233
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah right, well whatever happened. He would come back night

234
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: after night and say, no work today, honey, maybe tomorrow

235
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: until later that summer. In seventeen eighteen, Governor Woods Rogers

236
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: was sent by King George himself with a big old

237
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: document called the Proclamation for Suppressing of Pirates, also called

238
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: the Acts of Grace. So Governor Rogers shows up with

239
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: three warships and he lands in Nasaw and he unrolls

240
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: this scroll and says here, yeah, here, yeah, listen up,

241
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: are you stinking, rotten, lousy, cheating pirates? We love you?

242
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: Why didn't come surrender and agree to work for us?

243
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: And then you'll get a full pardon for literally anything

244
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: you've ever done, including actual murder and plus b Also,

245
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: if you turn in other pirates who aren't going to surrender,

246
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: we'll give you cash money. Hundred pounds for a captain,

247
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: forty pounds for lieutenant or a gunner, and twenty pounds

248
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: for just a nobody crew member. Twenty pounds for nobody.

249
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah right, well, of nobodies, I'm digging up bodies again.

250
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: List well. James Bonnie, whose recent get rich quick scheme

251
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: of Mary, a rich man's daughter, didn't exactly work out,

252
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: and decided this is a chance for some nice, safe,

253
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: easy money, and he starts informing on pirates. You could

254
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: probably guess how that narking went over with Ann. She's like, snitches,

255
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: get stitches, James, haven't you heard? And she got really

256
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: irritated with him. She starts hanging out at the pubs

257
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: herself and having a super fun time with all these

258
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: partying pirates. Captain Johnson writes in his book that Anne

259
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: was quote not altogether so reserved in point of chastity.

260
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: We can surmise that sometimes a pirate would find his

261
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: hand up her skirts. She had no qualms about getting busy. Yeah,

262
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: She'd be like, sure, I mean I'm here to live

263
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: that pirate life. I'm here for a good time, not

264
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: a long time that seems to be and whole here, Yeah,

265
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: whereas James Bonnie is more like, um, what's the safest

266
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: version of a pirate life I can live? I'd like

267
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: a good time and a lot. One colorful fellow in

268
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: particular started paying an extra attention. His name was John Rackham,

269
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: otherwise known as Calico Jack, and we'll get to know

270
00:16:53,480 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: him right after these merchants pitch you. They're wares and

271
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show me hearties. That's such an

272
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: easy joke. Sorry, but actually be hardies works for Yeah,

273
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: you all our hearties and hers. Where's that bath towel

274
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: her hearties, his heartiest alright. Little is known about John

275
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: Rackham's early life. He was born sometime in the sixteen eighties.

276
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: The first recorded fact about him is that he was

277
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: the quartermaster for a pirate named Charles Vane. Charles Vane

278
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: was terrible news. He was known for his cruelty to

279
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: prisoners and his crew alike, including torture and murder. In

280
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen, he actually took the King's pardon. He used

281
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: this act of grace, only to go back on his

282
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: word a few months later when he and Calico Jack

283
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: returned to pirracy. God, that must have been such a

284
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: problem for the acts of grace, right, okay, pirate, let

285
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: me just trust that when you sign this document you'll

286
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: go with it on your word. Pirates are very good

287
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: at the words. Yeah. If there's one thing a pirate

288
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: won't do, it's sign anything to save their own asses

289
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: and then keep on doing whatever they want to do. Yeah.

290
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: You know what led me to a life of piracy

291
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: was surely my honor, and my word as a gentleman, integrity,

292
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: the bye word of a pirate. Well, so yeah, they

293
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: said forget your actor grace by and went back to

294
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: looting and plundering. And they spent a few days partying

295
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: with Blackbeard off the coast of North Carolina. Probably a

296
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: good time, imagine, And then they went back to plundering ships. So,

297
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: after Captain Vane and Calico Jack and their crew rated

298
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: a few ships outside New York City. In that area,

299
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: this huge French man of wars, this ship at least

300
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: twice the size of Captain Vain's ship, chased them down.

301
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: Now Vain ordered a retreat, but Calico Jack said they

302
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 1: should fight. He figured they'd not only get like a

303
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: ton of French riches if they won, but they would

304
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: also get this huge ass ship. Of the nine crew members,

305
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: only fifteen supported the captain, but he said, no, my

306
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: word is vital, and they ran escaping the French warship.

307
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: But in November of that year, remember these pirate ships

308
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: are pretty democratic, so for him to go against almost

309
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: everyone on board is not going to earn him many points.

310
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: And John Rackham called a vote and the crew overwhelmingly

311
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: went in his favor and branded Vain coward and removed

312
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: him as captain. Calico Jack was put in his place,

313
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: and he kept their flagship. But he gave Vain a

314
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: second ship that they had commandeered, and he sent him

315
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: and the fifteen men who supported him off with a

316
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: healthy supply of rations and ammunitions. I really appreciate eight

317
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: that it was so like that was handled better than

318
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: our most recent election. Vain was like, I respect the

319
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: results and I'll take this stuff and go bye bye.

320
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: So there is some honor among these. Yeah. Yeah. Jack

321
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: himself wore bright garish colors and patterns. This guy was

322
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: a stunning site, even for the pirates of the day,

323
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: and that gave him his nickname Calico Jack. But now

324
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: finally he was Captain Calico Jack. And Jack had some

325
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: ups and downs as a pirate after that. So he

326
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: captured a large ship called the Kingston and made that

327
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: their flagship, and it was full of treasure and food,

328
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: just an awesome hall for a bunch of hungry pirates.

329
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: But a bunch of merchants saw him capture this ship,

330
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: and so they hired bounty hunters to get it back.

331
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: And when Jack and his crew were on shore near Cuba,

332
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: the bounty hunters snuck up, boarded his ship and sailed

333
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: away with it. Man, he woke up like, dude, with

334
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: my ship, my ship, What a night, the insane night.

335
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: I was going to remake Dudos my car, but it's

336
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: just a pirate version, same like Aliens. Yet my sister

337
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: will like it. She loves that movie. So he probably

338
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: felt a little sheepish about all that. He and his

339
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: men are in Cuba. They have just this tiny little boat.

340
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: They're trying to figure out what in the world they're

341
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: supposed to do next. And then a Spanish warship arrived

342
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: with a smaller English sloop that it had captured standing

343
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: behind it. And the Spanish saw the pirates small ship

344
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, we can take these guys. Let's

345
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: capture all these pirates. Good for us, go Spain. But

346
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: it was low tide so they couldn't attack it yet

347
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: they had to wait. Their big ship couldn't get close

348
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: enough to him, so the warship waited until the morning.

349
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: But that night Calico Jack and his men took a

350
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: row boat out to the English sloop, snuck on board

351
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: quietly overpowered the few Spanish guards that were there, and

352
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: at dawn the Spanish worship moved towards land and started

353
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: attacking the pirates old empty ship, having no idea that

354
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: behind them Calico Jack was sailing away in their English sloop.

355
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: It's like waving like Princess Diana. Surely good try fellows.

356
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: It's such a classic pirate move. Pastos for the ship

357
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: right totally, um it's it's It is said that Calico

358
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: Jack is one of the big inspirations for Captain Jack

359
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: Sparrow in the Paris Caribbean movies, all his colors and

360
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: everything like that. So this definitely feels like a beat

361
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: from one of those movies. Definitely speaks in it just

362
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: takes it while they're not looking. They're all like, bloody pirate. Yeah,

363
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: like bloody pirates. I hate pirates. So after this new

364
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 1: ship in hand, Calico Jack sailed to NASA and the

365
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: first person he went to find Governor Woods Rogers what

366
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: the old boy? And Rogers is like, excuse me, aren't

367
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: you one of those pirates who signed the Acts of

368
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Grace and then went right back to piracy? You know?

369
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: And Jack is like, oh yo, that was me, that

370
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: was me. That was definitely me. But you know what,

371
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: it weren't me fault. Captain Vane was a real piece

372
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: of shite and he forced us to be pirates, you know,

373
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: That's all it was what Wren up to me. I

374
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: was just a chor maaster. You know. We voted, we

375
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: said no, but he might just do it anyway. Fortunately,

376
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: Governor Rogers absolutely hated Captain Vane and he totally bought it.

377
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: He was like, all right, very well, you can sign

378
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: it again, but this time takes the back seas. So

379
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: Calico Jack and his crew were allowed to stay in

380
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: NASA and received a full pardon as long as they

381
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: just agreed to, you know, work for King George and

382
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: not be pirates anymore. And around this time Jack started

383
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: hanging around the pubs, getting friendly with the locals, basically

384
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: doing zero work to actually turn in any pirates. And

385
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: this is when he met and Bonnie. Oh what do

386
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: you think that they're meeting? Was like, mm, I can't

387
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: decide if she like threw a beer in his face

388
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: or if someone just laid off shot off a gun

389
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: and she laughed and he was like hot, yeah, No,

390
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: do you think it was that or do you think

391
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: it was like more more of a cute. She ordered

392
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: him an ale from across the bar send it to him. Yeah. Yeah,

393
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: Like she she walks over, she sees him talking to

394
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: another you know, some some some winch, and she just

395
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: like reaches down and like just picks up the stool

396
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: with the woman on it and just moves it to

397
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: the side and places her down. It was like, how

398
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: about you talk to me instead there, big boy? Well

399
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: do you seem very interesting? Yeah? They were totally smitten

400
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: with each other. This is exactly the kind of pirate

401
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: that Anne had always idolized, one who actually does stuff right,

402
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: exactly like James ain't doing anothering washed up pirate or

403
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: never even went out, went out to see how do

404
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: you washed up without ever going out, and she left

405
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: his garish clothing. She's like, this guy parties and Jack

406
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: was amazed by this woman who was as sturdy as

407
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: a Spanish frigate and packed twice the punch. So they

408
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: would sneak off together, plunder some booty, very a little

409
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: treasure sail the old man award to a Carolinian port.

410
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: How many more pirate sexual you know? You do get

411
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: what you know? She would hoist his main sail and

412
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: he would he would guide him, even aavigate himself into her.

413
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: All right, all right, plunky little rough waters on that

414
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: one pirate's life. Okay, he'd roll out the cannon. Yeah,

415
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: he'd roll out the cannon. He'd fire a shot across

416
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: her main bow. She's like, Hi, give me one of

417
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: those colorful rags. He got, gross, bro. And it wasn't

418
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: long before word of all these puns and what they

419
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: meant got back to the narc of NASA James Bonnie himself. James,

420
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: James is pretty upset, and understandably so, that his wife

421
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: is sleeping with this gaudy pirate. So you know, James

422
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: like he's he's going to take care of business himself, right,

423
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: So what does he do. He goes straight to Governor

424
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: Rogers and tells on them. He tattles about it. He

425
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: did his thing he loves doing the most. He's now.

426
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: Governor Rodgers was furious because James Bonnie was his favorite narc.

427
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, this is my boy. You can't just disrespect

428
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: my boy. So he would not stand for adultery, not

429
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: on his watch. So he ordered an Bonnie to be

430
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: captured and whipped for infidelity. Now Jack is a grown up,

431
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: so he decides to do the grown up thing, and

432
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: he went straight to James Bonnie to speak with him directly.

433
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: He's like, look, I know we go off on the

434
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: wrong peg there, maybe, but uh I do love Anne,

435
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: and I think maybe you kind of don't. So what

436
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: do you say? We worked this out and he offered

437
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: James a big, fat stack of money to divorce her

438
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: fat stacks and maybe for the first time in James

439
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 1: Bonnie's life, he looked at the cash offer right in

440
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: front of him and said no, and he threatened to

441
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: beat up Jack instead speculation station. Jack stifled a laugh

442
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: at this point, because okay, buddy, So it looked like

443
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: there was no easy way out of this, and Jack

444
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: thought about his contract. He thought about working for the

445
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: English crown, and then he thought about Anne and a

446
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: life at sea, and he knew what he had to

447
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: do to protect her. But he knew there would be

448
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: no more pardons this time. They said no take sea back,

449
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: no take sea back seas, but he loved An too

450
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: much to care, so he assembled a small crew and

451
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: together with An, they stole a ship and escaped NASA,

452
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: violating the terms of his pardon, and they were pirates

453
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: once again. Governor Rogers almost certainly shook his fist in

454
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: the air and pirates the things we do for love.

455
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: Oh fun fact, the small ship that they stole in

456
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: NASA was captained by none other than John ham I love.

457
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: This guy's name was Captain John ham It was like

458
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: and John Hamm probably would play a great version of him.

459
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: I'd love to see John Hamm as the captain of

460
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: a pirate ship of pirate sounds like somebody seems more

461
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: like an admiral to me. I mean, it's a classically

462
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: handsome face that he has that keeps doing like anything.

463
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: John Hamm and we bumped into John ham actually recently

464
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: when we were in Los Angeles, so I had to

465
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: take your word for it. We were walking in the

466
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: park and like I do, was both of everyone's dog. Yeah,

467
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: we saw this dog and we're like, oh, cute baby baby,

468
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: and I turned away once the dog was I was,

469
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: I lost interest and I never looked at the owner.

470
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: Just as they passed, I glanced up and was like,

471
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's John Hamm. And we looked up

472
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: John Hamm's dog and sure enough that was the dog

473
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: we saw. And I'm like, if only I looked up.

474
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: We could have ruined that man's day by bothering him

475
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: all he's trying to walk his dog. We could really

476
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: inconvenience the ship out of John Hammon. But anyway, enough

477
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: about John Hammon, the other job and Captain John Hamm Remember, okay,

478
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: that life on a pirate ship is no place for

479
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: a woman, right and again, you know, whether they thought

480
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: it was bad luck or just bad form, some pirates

481
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: were really uncomfortable with Jack bringing Ann in as part

482
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: of the crew. And so poor little Anne Bonnie, you

483
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: know this, we last surrounded by all these big, strong men.

484
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what's she gonna do? One ship made outright

485
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: refused to sail with a woman on board, so she

486
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: handled it. Yeah. This guy's like, I'll be a dead

487
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: man before I work on a ship that's got some

488
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: disgusting woman on it. It ain't right, it ain't natural. Pretty,

489
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: Will I challenge you to a fight to the death.

490
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: Winner gets to stay on board, Loser gets to be dead. Okay,

491
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: a little lady, I don't want to hurt you too bad,

492
00:30:55,040 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 1: So she's so three. Yeah, legend says Anne stabbed this

493
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: guy through the heart and tossed him overboard. And then

494
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: she was like, if anyone else has anything to say,

495
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: now's the fucking time channeling or Lucy Lou. And you know,

496
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: no shipmate ever challenged her. Again. Effective management, That's what

497
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: Anne's all about, because she's like, I'll make you an example.

498
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: We won't have this problem again. Exactly. So, with Anne's

499
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: newfound respect amongst the crew, Captain Calico Jack set sail

500
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: and spent the next two months sailing the Caribbean and

501
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: capturing other ships. Now, Anne usually lived on the ship

502
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 1: as a woman. Generally, the consensus is that she typically

503
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: dressed as a woman on the ship. All the crew

504
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: members new um, but when they would engage with other

505
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: ships to avoid I think too much focused directly at

506
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: her and like raising her risk of being captured or

507
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: kidnapped or whatever, and would dress as a man. She'd

508
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: have a loose tunic on and uh like a bandana

509
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: covering her hair. But after a few months at sea

510
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: and got pregnant, and she continued to wear men's clothes

511
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: and raid ships with Jack and his crew until at

512
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: a certain point it was just too difficult to hide

513
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 1: that baby bump. You know, she was getting on two

514
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: ships and trying to stand behind a chair every time.

515
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: She's always carrying a big bag in front of her.

516
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: She's like carrying a water bottle. She's just always got

517
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: a big box something like she has a barrel. That's

518
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: what it is, a barrel, carrying wrist, hiding her stomach,

519
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: always in her arms. Well, eventually they sailed to Cuba,

520
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: where Jack took her ashore. He was a very attentive partner,

521
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: and he helped her safely deliver their son. Unfortunately, nobody

522
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: really knows what happened to the baby after this. It's

523
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: probably a good thing, regardless that they didn't take him

524
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: with them back to see hard to have a baby

525
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: on board? I would say that I think it's pretty

526
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: easy to say that pirate's life is no place for

527
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: a baby, right, although we can argue about women, but babies. Although,

528
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be great if they hoisted a flag that

529
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: said baby on board. You know, they were less likely

530
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: to get attacked, right, Like the English would be like, oh,

531
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: there's I guess we have to go gentle into that ship.

532
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good idea for pirates. I want to

533
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: go back and give him that idea again, Chinese, I

534
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: would disagree as she raised pirates son and then married him. Well,

535
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: they did not bring the baby with them anyway. Unsure

536
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Revailing theories are that he was either

537
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: adopted out or maybe even left on a wealthy person's doorstep,

538
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: or possibly Jack himself had family in Cuba, some other Rackham's,

539
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: and he left the baby with them. Whatever happened, Calico

540
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: Jack and a Bonnie returned to See to continue their

541
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: pie a life. For a while, they were really successful pirates.

542
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: Governor Rogers published a list of wanted pirates. It was

543
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: published in the Boston Newsletter, which was the New world

544
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: only continuously published newspaper up until seventy six, when the

545
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: Boston Gazette started. In the publication, it listed John Rackham,

546
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: a k A. Calico Jack, as well as Anne Bonnie.

547
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: So their fame was growing. Okay, do you think that's

548
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: like street cred? Like I got my name in the newspaper.

549
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they want me. Well, whenever there's like an outlaw,

550
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: they're always like, yeah, here's my wanted poster. And then

551
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: they get mad about how much the ransom is. Yeah,

552
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: should be more, don't they know I took John Hamm's

553
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: Come on, he's an American treasure. He's a madman. I

554
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: wish it was Captain Madman John Hamms Speculation Station. John

555
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: Hamm's nickname was Madman's Please. So yeah, Eddie, Eddie rate.

556
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: Their fame is really growing. Um. But this caught the

557
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: attention of the privateer and pirate hunter Jonathan Barnett. And

558
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: this is a little bit of a side story. But

559
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: it is just too hot to let it walk on

560
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: by with at least saying hello. So let's take a

561
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: quick fling with history, slow them on down. Jonathan Barnett

562
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: had been commissioned by the Governor of Jamaica, Lord Archibald

563
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: Hamilton's very Jamaican name is British Jamaica. He brought the

564
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: jerk to the chickens anyway, So Old Archie had brought

565
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: him to Jamaica to hunt down pirates and bring back

566
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: as many alive as possible. And his contract came with

567
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: the condition that he quote not, on any pretense, commit

568
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: any acts of hostility on any of his Majesty's allies, neutrals, friends,

569
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: or subjects. Okay, so like stay in your lane. Yeah,

570
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: Like we're hiring you to hunt pirates, don't you go

571
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: out there and start stealing stuff or beating anybody else

572
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: because he's a privateer, like he doesn't really work for anyone. Yeah,

573
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: well Captain Kidd had this problem. He was a pirate hunter.

574
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: But hunting a pirate looks a lot like being a pirate,

575
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: and often your crew is made of pirates. So then

576
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: they democratically decided to become pirates again, and then you're fucked.

577
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: So it's so very Yeah, they're sure, they were like, well,

578
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: at least write it down. So they're gone up, but

579
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: at least we have some presidents to be had. But

580
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: in seventeen fifteen, a really tempting opportunity came up. The

581
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: seventeen fifteen Treasure Fleet was a fleet of eleven Spanish

582
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: ships that were returning to Spain from the New World,

583
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: loaded with silver, gold, and artifacts. But they sailed straight

584
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: into a hurricane and all eleven ships were destroyed. Records

585
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: state that nearly fift hundred sailors died, while a handful

586
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: survived in lifeboats. I'm imagining that the indigenous people that

587
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: Spain just took all this treasure from we're pretty excited

588
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: that a hurricane came through, and they're like, yeah, our

589
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: prayers were answered. Think very much like we still lost

590
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: all our treasure. Would be nice if we had that,

591
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: but at least we sunk those ships. Let that be

592
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: a lesson to you. And the Spanish never bothered the

593
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: indigenous people again. Wrong, Well, all this treasure being flattened

594
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: out in the sea really attracted the attention of well

595
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: basically everybody. Sure. A bunch of pirates and privateers went

596
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: straight for the wreckage as soon as they got word

597
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: and started attacking the survivors and snatching up treasure. This

598
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: of course included Jonathan Barnett, who was totally violating the

599
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: terms of his contract here. But Governor Hamilton's initially blamed

600
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: Barnett's raid on another privateer entirely named Henry Jennings, like

601
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: maybe he was trying to protect his guy, his asset

602
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: um and blamed it on somebody else. And when the

603
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: Spanish discovered that it was actually Barnett, and they presumed

604
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: that the Jamaican governor was covering for him, they accused

605
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: Governor Hamilton's of consorting with pirates, and Barnett turned right

606
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: around and testified to that exactly. He totally threw Hamilton's

607
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: under the bus basically saying, oh, yes, he totally covered

608
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: for us pirates. We sure are pirates out here steal

609
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: the treasure and he definitely lied to get us out

610
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: of it and that, but that got him a pardon

611
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: for turning on him. So Governor Hamilton's was sent back

612
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: to England and replaced by Peter Heywood, who said, quote,

613
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: had not commissions been granted, which were given out on

614
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: the pretext of suppressing piracy, these unhappy disorders would not

615
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: have been committed. So he's He's like, if we hadn't

616
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: be He's like, don't don't hire pirates and then expect

617
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: them not to be pirates. Come on, guys. Heywood was

618
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: replaced by a new governor who reinstated Barnett's contract and

619
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: he was back at sea hunting pirates again. I guess

620
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: they're not very good at background check, said this. He's like,

621
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: this guy sounds good. His resume is full of experience.

622
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: Apparently works for this other governor. I'm a governor. This

623
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: is going to work out great. Just sign right here, trustworthy.

624
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: So Barnett was at sea tracking down the notorious Calico

625
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Jack and a Bonnie, but the two of them were

626
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: about to make a new friend who would prove to

627
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: be just as cunning and ruthless as the best of

628
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: their crew. And we will find out more about that

629
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: right after this and welcome back to the show. Matie's

630
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: throw something in there. So Calico Jack and a Bonnie

631
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: continued to sail, plunder and grow their pirate crew, and

632
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: one night they captured a ship. As was customary in

633
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: the pirate code of conduct, Calico Jack offered those who

634
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: survived a position on his ship. Only a couple of

635
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: the crew spoke English, so Jack kept them. He sent

636
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: the others on their way after looting their ship, of course,

637
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: also part of the pirate code of con I will

638
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: Calico Jack very much a guy who was like I

639
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: will happy. I'm not going to kill anyone who doesn't

640
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: put up a fight. If you don't want to join

641
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: my crew, you do not have to. I will, however,

642
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: be taking everything you have. Um, I'll leave you a

643
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: barrel of apples and you guys can go on your

644
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: marry way, good luck, Thanks for everything. One of these

645
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: news ship mates was a young man named Mark, and

646
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: he caught Anne's attention despite Jack's devotion to her. You know,

647
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: Anne's got a history of a bit of a wandering eye.

648
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: She likes variety in her bedroom, and this Mark guy

649
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: is like really giving her vibes. He's boyish but tough,

650
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: quiet but a strong sailor, and even caught him glancing

651
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: at her a few times once he integrated into the

652
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: crew and she revealed herself to be a woman. So

653
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: she's like, I think Mark is picking up whatever I'm putting,

654
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: so let me go ahead and put them down. So

655
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: Anne found Mark alone one night and started coming on

656
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: to him, but Mark was resistant. He kept mumbling that

657
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: Anne and the captain had like a thing going on.

658
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: Everybody knows it, so he didn't want to get in trouble.

659
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: Hands like, don't worry about him, don't you want me? Yeah,

660
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: And Mark says like, oh, well, you know you're you're

661
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: very pretty, but you know I'm you know, I'm just

662
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm saving myself for someone. You know, they'll never know

663
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: we pirates do this kind of thing all the time.

664
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: Is totally cool. Oh boy, Okay, well you know you

665
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: know what, Actually I just had sex, so I don't

666
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: think I can get it up actually, so you know,

667
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: maybe another time you let me worry about that. And

668
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: then so Anne gets real close to Mark, and she

669
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: starts putting her hands on him, and Mark gets all anxious,

670
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: and finally he pushes her away and he blurts out, no,

671
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm a lady. And she ripped open her loose shirt

672
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: and revealed two big old honking boobies, and couldn't believe

673
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: that she fell for the very disguise that she herself

674
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: had been wearing this whole time. You know, a loose shirt,

675
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: pants right, foiled again by pants. She's like, wow, people

676
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: really do see what they want to see. True true.

677
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: Mark's real name was Mary Reid, and she and Anne

678
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: actually had a lot in common. Mary Reid's mother had

679
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: married a sailor and gave birth to a son, but

680
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: her husband, the sailor, vanished at sea shortly after the

681
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: boy was born. The mother was getting financial support from

682
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: her late husband's mother to help raise the child, but

683
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: soon after that the woman became pregnant again, and her

684
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: young son died of illness while she was pregnant with

685
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: her second child. So the woman was now worried that

686
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: her mother in law was going to stop sending her

687
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: money now that her grandson was dead. Right, So the

688
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: woman kept her second pregnancy a secret, and when she

689
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: gave birth to her daughter, Mary, she raised her as

690
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: a boy in boy's clothes, and the mother in law

691
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: totally bought it. She thought that it was the same kit,

692
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: you're a bit shorter than her. So Mary and her

693
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: mother lived on this inheritance well into Mary's teen years.

694
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: But you know, when she had a teenager, it was

695
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: a little harder to disguise. The mother in law figured

696
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: it out that this was not her grandson, that her

697
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: grandson had in fact died many years earlier, and she

698
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: had been supporting her unrelated daughter, you know, all these

699
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: many years, and so she completely cut them off financially.

700
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure she was so. I mean, would you not

701
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: be humiliated that somebody had perpetuated an insane con like

702
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: that over years? Like that is a crazy game. For

703
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: Mary's mom was bland. She kept that story more air

704
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: tight than William Cormick did. Very true. He was not

705
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: good at hiding, you know, the identity. He was very

706
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: brash about being open about like, no, this is my

707
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: maid and this is our kid, that's true, or his

708
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 1: dumb story he came up, but it's my relative son. Yeah,

709
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: for no reason, I know, your family. I'm not Come on, man,

710
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 1: give me a little credit. Mary's mother a bit more savvy. Yeah. Sure,

711
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: so their con got busted wide open. You know, they

712
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: didn't have the mother in law's money coming in anymore.

713
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: But Mary and her mother both found life easier if

714
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: she continued to pretend to be a boy. She managed

715
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: to find work as a footboy opening carriage doors for

716
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: rich people. What a job, man, You know, nobody wants

717
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: to work anymore jobs that have been lost, you know,

718
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: because we got ready Aristotle automation. You know, used to

719
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: be somebody's job to open your door for you. There's

720
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: a handle, comple yourself, get out of here. Eventually, still disguised,

721
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: Mary Reid found her way into the British military. She

722
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: was a strong and capable soldier, and eventually she met

723
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: and fell in love with a Flemish soldier. Revealed to

724
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: him that she was a woman, and he said, great.

725
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: That means we can do it in secret a lot,

726
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: but it is, Karen Abbott writes in Smithsonian Magazine. Quote,

727
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: Mary replied, with no apparent irony, that she was a

728
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: reserved and proper lady. That for the fact that I'm

729
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 1: dressing like a man and pretending to be a sailor

730
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: in the army. I mean, I'm a proper lady. So

731
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: he agreed to marry her. She quit the army. She

732
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: revealed her true identity to their regiment and they were wed.

733
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: And when they're fellow soldiers saw that she'd been a

734
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: woman this whole time. They we're so happy for that,

735
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: like amazing, How this is the best story I've ever heard.

736
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: I always thought you two were perfect for each other,

737
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: and now that I know you're a woman, it's like

738
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: even better, Like, oh my god. Cool. The gifts come

739
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: rolling in. Mary and her husband are able to buy

740
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: a small inn called the Three Horse Shoes in the Netherlands,

741
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: and they did well for themselves, pretty good. Mary sadly, though,

742
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: her husband passed away shortly after, and Mary decided that

743
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: she was going to re enter the military. But the

744
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: problem was there was no war going on, so she

745
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: was kind of bored and there was no room for

746
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: advancement because you know, officers weren't getting killed off, nobody

747
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to get themselves promoted, so it's like

748
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: you're pretty much stuck where you're at. So she decided

749
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: to hop a ship for the West Indies to make

750
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: her life there as a sailor. But it was the

751
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: golden age of piracy, and it wasn't long before her

752
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 1: ship was raided by pirates. Boarded, and likely still disguised

753
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: as a boy. She was probably given the choice to

754
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: either die or join. They weren't all as friendly as

755
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: Calico Jack, so she joined the pirate crew, and she

756
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: sailed with them for a short while before she was

757
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: rated by none other than Calico Jack and eventually found

758
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: herself watching and Bonnie try to seduce her in the

759
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: middle of the night, and that catches us up to

760
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: where we were. Abbott suggests that the stress and poor

761
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: diet Mary endured while working with the army may have

762
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: interrupted or paused her menstrual cycle, which is very common.

763
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: This is one of the ways women at sea had

764
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: an easier time hiding their identities. So of course it's

765
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: hard to hide once a month's like bloody rags, right right,

766
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: I guess maybe not on pirate just like you hide

767
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: it like in your boobs, and then you go on

768
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: a raid, you just like throw it like, oh, this

769
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: guy died on top of these rags. I guess. Also,

770
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: like most of the men on these ships were actually pretty.

771
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: They were like in their teens early twenties. It wasn't

772
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: uncommon for them to have no facial hair, so that

773
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: was another thing helped keep the secret. And of course

774
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: the loose clothing and baggy pants neutralize everyone's anatomy, so

775
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: not not hard. I guess that's not too bad. So

776
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: Anne and Mary became like best friends immediately. Obviously they

777
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: kindred spirits, right, but Mary continued to hide her identity

778
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: as Mark. Then Calico Jack starts seeing Anne hanging around

779
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: with his Mark guy all the time, and they seem

780
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: to be getting along or real well, and he starts

781
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: to get a little jealous. One day, he busts in

782
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: on them and he's like, listen, here on the captain,

783
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: here's don't you be sleeping with my lover or all.

784
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: Rip your gouts out, slit your throat and feed at

785
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: a kracking. And Anne and Mary just like stare at

786
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: him for a second and then bust out laughing. Mary

787
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: pops open her shirt again showed her boobies, and you know, Jack,

788
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 1: I imagine, Jack, I imagine it's got to be like, Okay,

789
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: how many of my sailors are actually women? Every one,

790
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: line up and take your clothes off. Now I'm looking

791
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: at everything this time, but neutralized as jealousy. I guess.

792
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: The three of them became besties, and it has been

793
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: rumored that there was another relationship going on with Anne

794
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: and Mary, um that they had, you know, a physical

795
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: relationship with each other, but there's zero evidence anywhere to

796
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: suggest that that is true. In fact, Mary started checking

797
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 1: up with another male pirate on the ship who wasn't

798
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: nearly as tough as she was. How how do they

799
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: step down, you know, from themselves? Oh yeah, well, you know,

800
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: they probably didn't have many options because they were so

801
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: damned tough. Everyone with him a treat Yeah exactly. So yeah,

802
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: So she's with this dude. He's a bit weaker than her.

803
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: One day, he's challenged to a duel, but Mary knew

804
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: her lover would lose, so and she picked a fight

805
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: with his duellist herself and kicked his ass. Don't be

806
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: She's like, don't be picking on my boyfriend. The ship

807
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: out of here. I mean, that'd be pretty cool for

808
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: that pirate too. He's like, don't you take another step

809
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: near me, or I'll tell my girlfriend she'll kick your

810
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: rests she's very scary. So Mary and Anne were two

811
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: of the most ruthless pirates on the ship, and Calico

812
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: Jack and his crew went on a two month spree.

813
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: They captured a ship in October seventeen twenty called the

814
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: Revenge and made that their flagship. It's rumored that Calico

815
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 1: Jack himself designed the skull and crossbones flag that we

816
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: know today as the Jolly Roger. That's probably untrue, but

817
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: it's more fun this way, so go with me. They

818
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: say that was probably written by this German poet in

819
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: like ninete um, and it's just kind of spawned the

820
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: rumor and now everybody thinks so and there's a bunch

821
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: of storians and they're like, that's so ridiculous because nothing

822
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: ever just and I'm like, shut up, come on, Yeah,

823
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: let's say he invented it. Same with the same with

824
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 1: Anne and Mary's romance, you know, so true. It's like, yeah,

825
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: come on. They probably had a little atlay. They had

826
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: a polycule like at least one time, because we know

827
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: anything goes at sea is the rule from our Coliford

828
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: and John Swanna. The men were often getting their sexual

829
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: gratification from other men on board right, and they did

830
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: not consider it to be a homosexual thing at all.

831
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: It was just like, what's available, Okay, that's what I'm doing. Um,

832
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: it's totally cool. So I feel like, I mean, at

833
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: least and you get bored, right chilling, you get drunk

834
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: from and you're like, I don't know, let's try it

835
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: one time. Why not speculation station, They tried to at

836
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: least one time. Let's take it all wrapped up in

837
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: the jolly Roger Yeah exactly. He's like, that's actually my

838
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 1: sex flag. I wonder if he named the flag after

839
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: Governor Rogers. He's like, this is your skull, asshole. He

840
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: would not like that. So anyway, they're crushing this pirate game.

841
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: And soon they captured the ship of Captain Thomas Spendlow

842
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: and took in one of their best hauls to date.

843
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: A ton of stuff off that ship, tobacco and food

844
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: and gold and all kinds of fun ship. And shortly

845
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: after that, they I guess, took a step down. They

846
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: seized a canoe. Look you gotta. I mean, the truth

847
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: of the matter is most of who they were raiding

848
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: were like small fishing boats, right, Like they were not

849
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 1: always going up against these big you know, treasure ships,

850
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: like more often than not, they were just stealing food

851
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: and supplies off of fishing boats. And then not to

852
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: last like another day, yea, And they found this canoe

853
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: and captured a woman on board who was named Dorothy Thomas.

854
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: Now Anne and Mary were both pretty ruthless about killing hostages,

855
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: and you know, Jack, like we said, it was more

856
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: of the kind of guy would be like if you

857
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: can either join us or get the hell out of here.

858
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: And Mary and Anne insisted that the crew killed Dorothy Thomas,

859
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: but Calico Jack overruled them and let her go. Well

860
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: sure enough, a few days later, our old friend, the

861
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: pirate hunter Jonathan Barnett, was skulking around Jamaica trying to

862
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: pick up leads as to where Calico Jack could be,

863
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: and he bumped into a woman who claimed to have

864
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: been captured by him. This was Dorothy Thomas, and she

865
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: gave him a lead and Barnett headed out in pursuit.

866
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: Jack and his crew had gotten kind of cocky with

867
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: all these recent wins they were having, and they decided

868
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: that night they were going to hang out in Negril Bay,

869
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: which is now known as Bloody Bay. And they just

870
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: partied all night. They had all this wine that they

871
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: had stolen off a ship recently, and they were just

872
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: jugging it by the bottle, acting crazy and foolish. Oh

873
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: yeah right. They raised the Jolly Roger and just a

874
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: bunch of bad decisions. While Anne and Mary saw these

875
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: pirates acting like drunken idiots, and they decided, you know what,

876
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: we're going to keep our wits about us, and they

877
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: handled their liquor and they stayed pretty uh, pretty conscious

878
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: of what was going on around them. They warned the

879
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: pirates to stay savvy and keep a lookout, but all

880
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: the men didn't listen. Late that night, Barnett's ships sailed

881
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: into the bay, heard the pirates revelry, and waited until morning.

882
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: Around ten am, Barnett sailed close to the Revenge and

883
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: raised a British flag, demanding that Jack and his crew

884
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: surrender a calico. Jack woke up with a miserable hangover.

885
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: His crew starts rising with him, and they're grumbling. They're

886
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: probably swearing they'll never drink again my kingdom for a

887
00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: raw egg or whatever, Right, yeah, a bloody Mary and

888
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:07,720
Speaker 1: Mary's like not yet. But even with their thick heads,

889
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: Jack went to the side of the ship and shouted

890
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: back they would never surrender, so Barnett fired a warning

891
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: shot across the ship's bow, and Jack said, Okay, I'm

892
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: too hungover for this. Everybody down into the hold. We're

893
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna hide. That's my big plane. We'll never surrender. Never mind,

894
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: Oh you have cannons. Sorry, you know, I'm really not

895
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: in the mood for this today. Can break up? Ready

896
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: to party? All right? Yeah? Of course, Anna Marry are

897
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: like fucking hide. This is a ship man. There's a

898
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: limited number of places for them to search, just like

899
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: dozens of people here. I think that Barnett's gonna get

900
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: over here and be like, oh, don't look under that

901
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: pile of sails that's moving around mumbling softly, and I

902
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: think it just vomited underneath. I see a foot, but

903
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: probably unrelated. Yeah, Like they're just gonna get on board

904
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 1: and be like, I guess nobody's here. Well let's leave.

905
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: Then that's so weird. Someone would leave this boat here

906
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: all by itself. Must be a ghost ship. Well we

907
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: better leave. Don't want to disturb the ghosts after all.

908
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: But no, Mary and Anne decide they're going to have

909
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: to defend the ship. Themselves. Mary allegedly stood over the

910
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: hold and shouted down, if there's a man among you,

911
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: you'll come up and fight like the mania to be.

912
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: When they refused to come up, Pps writes that she shouted,

913
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: quote dogs if instead of these weaklings, I only had

914
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,760
Speaker 1: some women with me, and she fired a single shot

915
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: into the hold, killing one of the crewmen. Damn, she's

916
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: like a better and dead pirate, one who won't fight.

917
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: You're useless. Bang. With machetes in one hand and pistols

918
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: in the other, Mary, Reid and and Bonnie stood their

919
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 1: ground and defended the ship as Barnett's men boarded, they

920
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: thought viciously, but eventually, of course they were overpowered. No

921
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: one else was fighting with them, right, yeah, just the

922
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: two of them. Now, the two women, Calico Jack, and

923
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: all the crew were, you know, uncovered from their hiding spots.

924
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: They opened all the barrels, come on out. Kind of here.

925
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: They were all arrested and sent to trial in Jamaica.

926
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: Now with plenty of witnesses and having twice violated the

927
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: Acts of Grace Pardon. At this point, Calico Jack's trial

928
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: was quick and simple. You know, they're basically Calico Jack guilty,

929
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: You're done, goodbye. He was sentenced to be executed by hanging,

930
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: and his final request was to see his love and

931
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: one more time, and the judge allowed it. Yeah, I

932
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: mean Jack, you know, he he really went out of

933
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: his way for an a lot. Yeah, he violated the

934
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: acts of Grace for her. He took her a Cuba

935
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: and helped her deliver her baby. You know, like this

936
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: guy really looked out for her. So he was brought

937
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: to the cell where she and Mary Reid were being held.

938
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: He walked up to the bars, tearful but happy to

939
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: see his love again. She approached her lover and Captain

940
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: took his hands through the bars, looked him in the

941
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: eyes and said, quote, if you had fought like a man,

942
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: you need not have been hanged like a dog. Damn

943
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: damn girl. Ice coll probably then did like a take

944
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: him away, get him out of my sight, which is

945
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: a bit of a blow for old Jack. Yeah. But

946
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, but breaking and was very clear that's like

947
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: you're either a pirate or you're not. That's right. You know,

948
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: I wonder if you know it hurt, But he was

949
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: secretly like, that's my girl, that's my girl. Girl. Take

950
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: the girl out of the pirate ship. But I can't

951
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: take the pirate at the girl, right, So that was

952
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 1: their final words to each other. The guards hauled him

953
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: off to be hanged. John Calico Jack Rackham was executed

954
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: on November seventy and his body was hanged on a

955
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: gibbet near the entrance to Port Royal as a warning

956
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: to other pirates. The island is now called Rackham's Key

957
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: after the Dread Pirates. Ten days later, Mary and Anne

958
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: went to trial and they immediately pled not guilty to

959
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: all charges. I'm thinking they were probably just like, you know, oh,

960
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: we're doll We're just two ladies who got caught up

961
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,479
Speaker 1: with these pirates. You know, what can we do. We're

962
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: just feeble women, like we couldn't handle. Then we had

963
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,439
Speaker 1: to do whatever they said. We were just hanging out

964
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: trying to bring bad luck. Actually, then you're welcome, welcome

965
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: that we were there because we made the water really

966
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: like upset for whatever. So it seemed like a reasonable

967
00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: enough excuse to the judge. But then the star Wness

968
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: came in and Mary and Anne were like so pissed,

969
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: their shagging their heads because they knew this was coming.

970
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: The Star witness was Dorothy Thomas, the woman from the canoe,

971
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: the one they said they should execute. I knew I

972
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: should have killed that bit. While Dorothy Thomas testified that quote,

973
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: they each wall men's jackets and long trousers and handkerchiefs

974
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: tied about their heads. Each of them had a machette

975
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: and a pistol in their hands, and they cursed and

976
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 1: swore at the men to murder me, which they did.

977
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: She also said that she knew that they were two women,

978
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: quote from the largeness of their breasts. Oh my god,

979
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: thank you. They are pretty big. But Dorothy's testimony pretty

980
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: much got Marry and Ann their guilty sentence, and they

981
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: were sentenced to be hanged. But wait. Anne cried to

982
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: the judge, I the belly, which sounds crazy, but it

983
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: meant that she was pregnant, and Mary stood up to like,

984
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: oh me too, I'm almost so pregnant. I've got the belly.

985
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: And it turned out to be true. Both of them

986
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: actually were pregnant. I mean, they were doing everything that

987
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: you needed to do, so their executions were stayed and

988
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: they were kept in prison so that they could have,

989
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, their baby. Tragically, Mary Read died in April

990
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: the following year of a terrible fever, possibly related to

991
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: her pregnancy, and there's no record of whether or not

992
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: she had given birth before she died, or she died

993
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: while she was pregnant, or any We don't really have

994
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: any information about that. As for Anne, her fate is

995
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: a mystery to this day. Captain Johnson writes, quote, she

996
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: was continued in prison and reprieved from time to time.

997
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: But what has become of her since we cannot tell

998
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: only this we know that she was not executed. Some

999
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: believe that her wealthy father, Old Williams Silver Spoons Cormick,

1000
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: stepped in and got her released from prison, which says

1001
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: to me that maybe she did not burn his plantation

1002
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: to the ground. Maybe father, we love Maybe it's like

1003
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: like a succession thing, like I'll save you from this

1004
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: and now I own you forever. Very true. Now that's

1005
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: that's a controlling thing too, You're right, or he was

1006
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: just like you're my daughter, I love you. Encyclopedia Britannica

1007
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: says that she returned to the Carolina's, married, had children,

1008
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and lived to the ripe old age of eighty two.

1009
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Probably wanted to tell James Bonnie see I got a

1010
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: good time and a long time. You gotta do it

1011
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 1: Anne's way, and Ways sang that after they raided a ship,

1012
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: you gotta do it An's way, Ann's way. If we

1013
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: killed the canoe lady, I'd be okay, amazing, Oh, Dorothy Thomas,

1014
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: damn real, Karen, I'm just kidding. I'm she was really

1015
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: scary to be raided in a canoe, like you like,

1016
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: you can't even get on this ship without capsizing me. Yeah,

1017
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: she just gets almost executed, like threatened with a knife

1018
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: to worth throat probably, and then goes and tells on

1019
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: them for it, Like, come on, this story is full

1020
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: of tattle tales. Well you know there was a lot

1021
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: of money in it at the time. True. True. Oh man, Wow,

1022
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 1: what an adventure. I love it. I love this story. Yeah.

1023
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Nothing like drama on the high seas, seriously, And you

1024
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: know you cut out the months, well weeks in between

1025
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: where there's just nothing going on. You know, they always

1026
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: talk about like and then the next over the next

1027
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: two months, they rated a ton of ships. They're really

1028
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: successful pirates, And I'm like, so they were probably like

1029
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, two months span like four raids right right,

1030
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: like with each with like two weeks of quiet sailing

1031
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: where they're just having orgies. Oh yeah, exactly, that's when

1032
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: they try the polycue out smelly stinky orgies hard pass.

1033
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: But I have been really wanting to get into reading

1034
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: about black Beard because it's such a renowned pirate. But

1035
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: apparently it was only a pirate like two years. Yeah,

1036
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 1: you don't have a very long career. Um, so you

1037
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: must have done a lot to get so infamous in

1038
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 1: a short period of time, especially when your life consists

1039
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: of a lot of inactivity, right, Um, so that the

1040
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: activity must be your royal insane. Yeah, it's very just

1041
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: like it's like, uh, oh weird. I'm gonna make a

1042
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: sports metaphor. It's like football where it's just like really

1043
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: high intensity and then stop and we're quiet for a while,

1044
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: and then really high intensity and then we stop work

1045
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: quiet for a while. But that's probably why you know,

1046
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: black Beard met up with Calico, Jack and Vain and

1047
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: they just like partied for a few nights. Um, They're

1048
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: like I'm not doing anything, which is nothing great. Yeah.

1049
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: And also black Beard, I don't I don't think we'll

1050
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: end up with a story of his on this show,

1051
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: but I did read under this that you know, look,

1052
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: we love black Beard on our flag means death, but

1053
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: black Beard was actually one of the people allegedly who

1054
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 1: was notorious for if there was a woman on his ship,

1055
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: he would strangle her and throw her overboard. Damn. Yeah,

1056
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: so not not a fun guy. That That version is

1057
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: much more fun than the real life version. Tega is

1058
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: great at playing the worst people in the most lovable way.

1059
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: I know, because he was Hitler and Jojo Rabbit, you know, yeah,

1060
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: at least he was like an imaginary version that helped.

1061
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: I think it was like an actual Hitler, it would

1062
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: have been way less. Yeah, that movie is so good though. Anyway,

1063
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: we're here for Pirates. UM, super fun story and I

1064
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: just I love this these kind of adventures these guys

1065
01:05:54,560 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: lived again. We cannot totally claim this story as total

1066
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: nonfiction because it's definitely been embellished. There's a lot of

1067
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: conflicting accounts about how this went down. These people all

1068
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: definitely existed. Um, A lot of these adventures probably really

1069
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: happened in terms of the ships they rated, the success

1070
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: that they had and uh and their romance. Um. But

1071
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: obviously it colored up a bit by Captain Johnson and

1072
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: many other authors through history, but the legal rectord records

1073
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: do exist. There's a whole published book called the Trial

1074
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: of John Rackham. Um that is the notes from the trial.

1075
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Uh so you know it was. It was the seventeen hundred.

1076
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: It's not like they weren't writing stuff down at this time.

1077
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: So as embellished as it is, this is still we

1078
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: would say a true story. Yeah, when you're such a

1079
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: colorful characters like pirates, Yeah, your stories are going to

1080
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: get embellished, right right, But but they don't need that

1081
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: much embellishing either, because you just are doing crazy stuff. Yeah. Anyway,

1082
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 1: so it's like, well I threw an an extra murder

1083
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 1: or two, most of it is. Yeah, I was gonna say,

1084
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: it's like, um, in terms of pirate stories, this one

1085
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: feels like probably had the most of the actual romanticized

1086
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 1: pirate stuff we think of today in it. I mean,

1087
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: the colorful characters, all the fun partying, you know, the

1088
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: successful raids. You know, not too many people murdered disguised ladies. Yeah,

1089
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: not too many people, right enough. Yeah, and a bunch

1090
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: of a bunch of angry British governors shaking their fists

1091
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: at pirates for like just giving them the old slip

1092
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: damn it. Yeah, I love it. I love it. I

1093
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: hope you loved it too. Yeah, it's really too bad

1094
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:39,959
Speaker 1: that we couldn't come to you with a story about

1095
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: the lesbian pirates Mary Read and a Bunny. I was

1096
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: really looking forward to that. Yeah, um, but there's just

1097
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: not enough evidence to support it. Not that they were

1098
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: writing down like last night, you know what I did

1099
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: with Mary. But as I say, I think it's pretty

1100
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: safe to assume that at least one time they were

1101
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: a little curious and they were like, let's give it

1102
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: a work, and if they liked it at all, then

1103
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: they at least had some threesome scours through in another

1104
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: pirate here and there, just fun, right, I can see it, right,

1105
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: I would see it. What I'm saying is I would

1106
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:17,799
Speaker 1: watch that. Yeah, they would call in other pirates sometimes,

1107
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: you know. It'd be like Mary Ann, Mary's boyfriend and

1108
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: Calico Jack and they're having a good time and Anne

1109
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: looks up and she's like, get get get all long
