What's up, everybody? Nate Barguzzi here at the Nateland podcast. I'm here with Aaron Weber, Brian Bates, both stand-up comedians, former stand-up. No one's doing anything anymore. So welcome to the podcast. Welcome to episode whatever it is, eight, right? I think seven. Seven. All right. Jump to head. All right.

seven in my head. It's eight already. I'm already ready for a, uh, thank you guys for listening. You've been subscribing, leaving nice comments. You've been awesome. We appreciate it. Uh, can't thank you enough. And that's, um, you know, and we're going to read some of your comments. That's what we've been trying to do. Open the show with some, you know, I think it's good to let people vent at us when they're mad.

You know, some get upset. Some don't. Not everybody gets upset. Everybody's been actually pretty nice. Are there funny? That's fun. We don't have to do all the heavy lifting. You get some of these people in. First comment, you know,

Gail Green? I don't know if it's G-A-E-L-I. Gailie Green. Yeah. Gailie Green. So as part of the future episode, Nate ranting like he's a 60-year-old man. Because as a 57-year-old woman, you sound like my 57-year-old husband who this morning literally said to me, you know, I think the problem is social media. Really? You both just got there? Thanks for the laughter. Yeah. Me and your husband get it. I guess that's the problem that...

I, you know, I do understand that I did get ranty at the, I don't know, something set me off. I was kind of fired up. And, you know, and then you get this and you're like, well, I'm going to say it. Almost like I then thought later, I was like, I don't care. You know, I mean, I care, but I don't. There's enough problems there.

I do get it. I've learned, though, as being 41, I am a fan of giving advice. Yeah. I learned it last night. Last night I did...

the JT and Chad podcast. I don't know if you know them. Uh, very funny guys. They're, they're kind of like the California guys they've been on. They, they would go in and do a council meetings or town hall kind of stuff. And they'd read. It's very funny. Oh, I do know those guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're really funny. Really funny. And so I did their podcast yesterday and they do an advice thing, uh, to give advice, uh,

And which we might do because I learned I like giving advice. Right. I think when you hit 40, you're just ready to start like giving out. And I'm in the beginning of giving advice.

So I need to learn to get good. Because an old man always has something super... It's very quick advice. Super profound, yeah. Just really great... About comedy or just about life? No, it can be about anything. Comedy, life, whatever. But an older... An old man is like...

leaves don't grow upside down or something i don't know and you're like oh yeah man you know it's just he's got it down so i think you have to when you hit 40 you have to start getting good at that yeah because i'm not comfortable with it yet no like i have no advice your advice is stupid that's right you're just a dumb kid and so if you try to give me advice i'm a kid out just leave aaron leave

Old man advice right here. I try to give you advice and you never listen. Well, his advice is stupid. It's Lebanon for you. He's from Lebanon, Tennessee. Are you really? I did. Yeah. You said that like, that's incredible. Yeah, he made it out. He made it out. Beirut, Lebanon. Yes, I am from the place 30 miles from here. He made it out. So thank you. Yes, I was. There was a few that were nay-

yelling, get off his lawn, talking about the past. There is a little bit. Social media is a problem. I think it's crazy. Here we go again. Yeah. Someone else said the source thing too is like you should ask for sources. The newspapers should give you the sources. I don't like the system that we've built that random people are just asking for.

You know, it's like, I don't like the system that the newspapers built. Well, I think they had a, you did that, and then the very next thing was the polls. You're like, who are these sources? So I think maybe they questioned your- Oh, yeah, it's very contradictory. I didn't even notice that. Oh, yeah. It's a lot. I mean, you don't know what you're complaining about. So you just get, I get mad at all of them. It's the system that it's all built in. It's that the newspapers are not held up

that random people have to ask for sources. And then I get annoyed too at the random people asking for sources. Because I just think people use that as an excuse. Which are sources? It's like being like, I don't know what you're talking about, so I'll just say that. But yeah. What was the thing that you just said?

Oh, the polls. Yeah. Who's taking these polls? It is crazy. Who are taking these polls? We found out. Yeah. A few people in these comments are. Yeah. Well, I mean, not the comments. I'm pointing at, you know, who. That's right. Someone said everything you rented about. I then said, well, I do that. Yes. That's one of the things, right? So Jason Loham, on your moving on when you feel comfortable advice is spot on. There you go.

I knowing when to leave is crucial. Most people stay too long and then they get stuck as a pastor. I've moved a number of times. God grew me every time. Good advice. Good for him. I mean, that could be, I could see that as a pastor, that's tough. You're cause you know, you're the pastor of this church and you could stay there. And I mean, you know what? I never thought about that. A pastor actually really probably does need to kind of keep it moving because it's going to get stale and,

And you just, you know, it just gets too routine and too comfortable. Yeah. That's very much a job, that advice. All right, he gets it. My favorite part of the podcast is when Nate ridicules some hypothetical person for some specific behavior and then sits back and waits for Brian to say, I do that all the time. Right.

Sorry, Brian, ruined your comment with revealing it. You already revealed that guy's comment. That guy would have brought some heat, don't you think? Yeah, I suppose. Was that the same guy? No. No, we didn't get that guy's name. But yeah, that is funny. That is, yeah. I mean, you do do a lot of things. Well, you alienated like 99% of the people last week by saying, who's these people posting with three viewers on Facebook? Well, that's all of us.

Yes, but comments are one thing versus a video, like an actual production. Leaving comments, I get that. It's someone lecturing. It's someone making a video talking to an audience that's not there. That's the part that's funny to me. It's like putting a video up. Putting a funny video up is like you're creating something you're hoping people see it. It's when the going live thing,

And then you see four people and you're like, what are we doing, man? I'm so afraid to go live on any social media now. Cause I don't, I mean, how many people do you think you'd be? You get more than four. Hopefully. I don't know. I'm afraid to try it. Oh, I hope it go try it. Let us know. I hope it's six.

I mean, that's what I mean. Like six people. Yeah. You really think about that. If I went live and six people were, I'd be like, all right, I mean, this is, I think you could tell them guys, do you think we should just all go home? Right. We should, I mean, you're home. Let's wrap it up. Let's wrap it up. And everybody be like, I think so. And then it goes to five and you're like, Oh, that guy really agreed. I did a show last night, Instagram live show. And you could see how many people were watching. And it ranged from eight to 10 entire time. When we were done, it got down to five.

Wow. Yeah. That's tough to see while you're doing your act or your set how many people are there watching. Yeah. That's tough. What was it? I don't want to say. Oh. You don't help them out? Not after I just said there's nobody watching. Yeah. Well, we could get them some watches. Oh, well. That's like...

you don't want to help us. Like someone drowning. And you're like, I just said someone would drown. I don't want to help them out. But he, uh, he's like, just help me drown. And you're like, nah, I just pointed out that, that the water looks rough today. And the guy's out there, you know, and I,

But you know, every time you do a show, well, maybe not you, but Aaron, when, and they're like, there's nobody there. And they're like, I don't know what happened. Last week it was packed. Every time. Every time. Almost every time. Well, that's how, I've said that. That's how this guy was. That's how every show you would go do, I've done shows, I've performed for one guy once. Yeah.

I've done shows where you go do it and they go, man, last weekend was crazy. I was always the comic that they got the last weekend. For some reason, I was on the longest stretch ever of being like, I missed the greatest show ever by one week every week. I was just like a traveling...

How you doing? How's it going? How's it look tonight? Ah, man, tonight, I guess there's a, it's always like something, I guess there's a replay of a football game tonight. It's not even something good. It's not some gigantic thing. He's like, I don't know, maybe. I always hear high school football is so big in this town. There's a good 30 for 30 airing tonight, so that probably hurt us. And you're like, ah, with DVR too, you don't think people, he's like, no, they want to see it live for some reason.

Keith Hines. I was a helicopter search and rescue guy, and we did sometimes get fooled by a Mylar balloons. Mylar? Oh, I'm reading this so wrong. We did sometimes get fooled by Mylar balloons. Sometimes when we were searching for a person in the water from 500 feet up in the air, Aaron was kind of right. I told y'all, balloons are killing people out here. Yeah, balloons are killing people. But, I mean, it didn't. It just, they got fooled.

But that prevented them from finding somebody. So maybe people died because they go, well, we, you know, we lowered the big, you know, the bed that gets lowered into the water. Yeah. And there are balloons in the way. And they keep hitting it and the balloon just kind of keeps, won't go in. You know how you hit it like if you're trying to grab and it just keeps like going. Yeah. And you're like, God, I can't get under it. And then you're trying to get under it and it keeps moving. Yeah. Aaron, you know what? Sources are, this is your source.

Who's your source? Keith Hines, Aaron. That's right. That's your source from now on. Where's your source coming from this? Keith Hines. Okay. Yeah.

The boy don't play. Pretty sure there have been studies about how people are much ruder to each other because they're used to just bossing Alexa and Siri and the rest of the digital assistant things around and getting what they want. I told my kids they weren't allowed to use Alexa unless they said please and thank you. Not sure it stuck, but at least I can say I tried to be a good dad in that regard.

See, this is my source. The boy don't play. Who's your source? The boy don't play. He does it at home. That's good. We're trying to get our daughter to say yes, ma'am more and yes, sir. Politeness is a good thing. And I guess be polite to these robots. And when these robots take over, these kids, robots, there's an old Dane Cook joke where he's like, yo, he's had the crazy kid at school.

that, you know, he'd always, like, buy him a Snickers or something. So it's like one day that kid comes in and shoots the whole school up. He looks at Dane and goes, you're all right. And then he'd always just treat the –

And that's what you've got to do with robots now. Treat the robots nicely so when they do come after us all, they maybe go, I think, you know, they're like, I don't understand niceness, but I think that guy, if I did know it, that was the guy trying to do it. He said thank you when he talked to me. He holed me up a little bit. He would plug me in. I always felt charged with him. He kept me charged. He's a decent owner. And then they move on.

Letter rip. Love the show, boys. I absolutely disagree with Nate's stance on asking for a source. You should always ask for a source because reporters, broadcasters, journalists, and writers can literally report, write anything. And claim it as fact without posting a source. How would you ever know if it was fact, opinion, or pure speculation without being provided a source to where they get the information that is being reported to you? Yeah, I mean, I get the idea, but I'm saying...

We shouldn't be to a point that a guy has to ask a professional newspaper for a source.

Like, you should be asking. They should be presenting. That's the point. They should be presenting the source. Oh, okay. They should be like, here's the sources. I do get it. That's... The system is what's messed up. Okay. And then seeing a comment that says, hey, what's your source? It's crazy. I think there's a mix of like, the newspaper should be giving sources, and then that guy... I bet that guy just goes around and asks people for sources. You know what? We should all just ask everybody for sources. Yeah.

Just start doing that. It's actually pretty fun to do. Just go and ask. Someone says anything, are the weathers going to be bad today? Yeah, what's your source about that? I'd like to see your sources on the weather today. You challenged the weather man about it? I'm saying at home, just start. Oh, family. Everybody, family, friends. Everybody just start doing that.

Hey, is this 20? If you had Target, you know, is this 20% off? I don't think it is today. Well, what's your source that says that? Just ask everybody. Let's start asking everybody for sources. Yeah, I'm in. I'm in, right? Yeah. I've done that with you before. Yeah. You'll say, they say, and I was like, who's they? It's they. It's always they. Yeah. I do. That's all I ask. But I mean, get the dumber and dumber. Try to go and see how dumb you can ask someone for a source that confuses them. What can you do that can go?

I got Outback last steak. I ordered Outback last night. And I ordered whatever I ordered the steak, they didn't have. You know, filet or something. Or prime rib they didn't have. And I was really coming to some money, so I ordered the prime rib at Outback.

And they go, we don't have that. We're out of prime rib. And I could ask that guy, well, what's your sources? Yeah, the chef in the kitchen? Yeah. Yeah. What's his source? Yeah. Well, what's your source on this? Because it was just the manager that called me. And then I want to hear him go, yeah, the chef in the kitchen. And I go, all right. Thank you. Thank you. And then I move on. I go, all right. Then I'll take a ribeye. That's still down there. I didn't get to eat.

I did that JT pod. It was 8.53, and I was like, I'm supposed to do a podcast. I was pulling in my neighborhood, and I had to just come upstairs and ate their salad with tangy tomato. Pretty good. They got great tangy tomato. Doing good stuff at Outback these days? Their dressing is unbelievable. I don't think I've ever been to Outback. What? Really? That's crazy. I'm more of a Logan's guy myself. I like Logan's, too. They got good bread.

I do. Uh, something, something to talk about. Are these the names? Yeah. Some of them have like, you know, handles. Yeah. Polls and focus groups have always seemed like a joke to me. I used to do a focus groups all the time. Like Aaron and you re in the research study places that facility that facilitate them. Oh no, this is a big one that facilitate them get paid. All right. I'm not crazy. Uh,

And the research studies study places that facilitate them and get paid to find a specific people to pull opinions from.

This is not always easy to do. It got to a point where I did enough for a particular research study company that they would call me and say, okay, we need you to say you shop at this store twice a week or pretend you're a tobacco user and come in for this cigarette focus group. So now I just think all polls and focus groups have a thumb on the scale and are extremely inaccurate. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I agree with that. I think that's true. I mean, think about a jury even.

In a jury, the lawyer, you know, I watched Seinfeld last night. And they talk about getting one coffee. When he spills coffee on himself, and he could give me one coffee drinker on that jury, and you're going to be a rich man. And she goes, well, I'm a coffee drinker. And Elaine says, I'm a coffee drinker. I don't side with you. He goes, well, you'd be weeded out. That's right. And that's what jury, I mean, that's what they do. They weed the person out that they're trying to get.

to put it in your favor. Right. And that's the law. So that's supposedly you can't completely cheat that system. I'm sure it happens. But with a focus group, I mean, you're like, I'll give you 50 bucks. Just say you're on, you smoke. All right. I don't care. You know? And then we see that. That's what I'm talking about. This guy, Sutphin to talk about. This guy, we should hang out.

Doogie double takeout. Depending on the topic, sometimes I think Nate is a genius and sometimes I think he's an idiot. Amen, brother. That's what I'm talking about. I like that. I used to think that. What? That I was a genius? What do you think now? Just an idiot?

Well, I figured it out. I don't think you're doing rocket science over there. You figured what out? Sometimes I used to think you were a genius. Sometimes I think you're an idiot. I don't think that anymore. What do you think? Just idiot across the board? Let the listeners decide. You think an idiot. Look, sometimes a genius is going to be an idiot at times. That's what I think.

I think if you're a genius, you're going to be an idiot. You say nobody's a genius across the board. They do some crazy dumb stuff. Their things are at least they're giving ideas out. Yeah. They're moving forward. They're not just, you know, volleying the ball back over. They're trying to spike it and win some. They're not, you know, this is this guy over here. Yeah. Just trying to keep the ball in play. Yeah. Would rather the score be 0-0. We go home, never talk about the game ever again.

I think most geniuses had... That was a pretty genius analogy. I mean, that was well done. Yeah. So who is it? Am I the genius or the idiot? Or maybe you're the genius for getting it or the idiot for not getting it. Boom! Doogie double take out. Yeah, you double took that. All right. You and Doogie idiot part. That was one too much. That was the idiot, yeah. He kept going. I think I'm good out the gate and then it's what follows. Leave them wanting more.

Whole sauce. I love Brian, but there's no way he never worked at a blockbuster. I mean, that's true.

That is true. Still wears his uniform. I did not work at a Blockbuster. I did work at a video store, though. I was going to say, you seem like a family video guy. I tried Blockbuster and I didn't get accepted. Oh, that was the big leagues. I worked at Megavideo. Feature films, man. You're doing feature films now. You worked at Mega, what is it? Megavideo in Murfreesboro. Yeah. And when I was in college. You loved helping people, didn't you? I loved it. It was my favorite job ever. Yeah. Yeah.

I, uh, when people come in with like, give me your recommendations for movies and stuff back, how did that work? A lot. Uh, and we were the only place that, um, in Murfreesboro that sold adult videos. Oh, you remember video stores used to have like a back room. That's probably before your time. You remember this? Yeah. I'm aware of that phenomenon. Yeah. And so all these like,

Murfreesboro council members and stuff would come in there and go back there. Wow, the big wigs of the town would come in? Yeah. Oh, so you would see them come in. Video stores are like the one thing now that small towns have that big cities don't. Yeah. Right? Yeah, small... Like they...

Yeah, there's one. There's a blockbuster in Alaska, I think is the last one. Yeah, but I think there's some small towns now that still have video stores. I went to a pizza place in Illinois a couple years ago. If you got a pizza, you got a free DVD rental. There's a place attached to it. So there's still a few places like that. I definitely miss it. I miss going in and being like, what are we going to get? Because it added to, it's like going to the movies.

It added to it. You would get in your car, you'd go drive to Blockbuster, you'd walk around, you're looking at everything. It was great. It was great. This is Holly, who's being crazy right now. Did she want out? She's looking up here for something. I think she wanted the Seinfeld DVDs. Yeah. Our dog Holly, a little more active. Abdeel Flores. Flores?

Abdul Flores. Nate, I have two toddlers, work full-time, attend college full-time, Ball State. All right. Former. I'm glad to hear. And I do all of the polls for $10. All of them. That's good. I like that. Yeah, she gets some $10. She does it for the money. But she is two toddlers, works full-time, and college.

So she's someone we want to take the polls. Yeah. She's doing all the things. Yep. She's a mom, working full-time, and college. I mean, she's a dream poll person. Yep. Yeah. She should get more than $10. She's finding the time. Pono P, I really like all three of you. There are times I want Brian or Aaron to ask Nate, what are you talking about? Nate, you are scattered but endearing.

As for social media, I couldn't agree more. This felt like I'm getting sit down by my boss. For social media, I couldn't agree more. People have no shame as to what they will do to get some attention in a completely oversaturated world of people wanting to be rich and famous. As Nate said, just step to the side. That goes for both people that are famous for doing the dumbest thing to those that have two people watching. I don't know about you. She says, you're scattered but endearing. I get that.

But then they agree with you. But then they're, yeah. Totally. I don't know if Pano's a man or a woman. I'll be honest. They were pretty scattered there in that comment. I don't really know what the second half of that comment meant. I tried to follow it. I kind of gave up. I think they're agreeing with Nate about people who are trying to get famous on social media and

Have to... It's oversaturated. Yeah. It's being that no one, like we said, no one being famous. Famous used to mean something. Famous used to be your craft, your unbelievable craft. And now it's kind of anybody can do it. And if someone gets a video that goes the right way, then just someone that doesn't have the talent to do an hour-long show, you know, and then that's when you see musicians go out. But they all kind of go away. I mean, you see...

What you watch people. I think, did we talk, maybe we talked about that. It was like, it'll be interesting to see YouTubers. Like you're going to see them like waiting tables. Like you're going to, did we talk about that last week? Not really. But it's like, there's an idea I thought about. There's going to be a point where you're going to end up being like, I've recognized my server. He had a meme go viral, but there's no money in it. So like having your 15, there's actually going to really be 15 seconds of fame.

You know, that saying never really, someone would always say it. Everybody has their moment. 15 minutes of fame? 15 minutes of fame. Everybody has their moment or whatever. But there's going to be a point where your moment is going to be millions of people saw your face and maybe your meme still gets shown around. And then you're going to see that guy just at a regular job because he's not going to be able to

You know, there's going to be too much of that that you're not going to turn it into something that's concrete that people will spend money for. Right. And so you're going to be like, I think I've met my server before. And then you're like, oh, he's the popsicle too fast in a YouTube video. You still got a headache from that? He's like, ah, you know, still getting after it. And then he gets tipped a little more because you're like, oh, yeah. Yeah. He's fun, you know? Yeah.

Robert Hort, abstain from washing your hands out of respect for Poppy today. That was when Poppy died. That's pretty funny. It's funny because Poppy didn't wash his hands. Poppy died of COVID for not washing his hands. No, I don't know what he does. Caught up to Poppy. He wasn't prepared for the COVID-19 times. He always refused to wash his hands. Two more. Tyler Johnson, Nate can be a little harsh on Bates. Keep it up, you guys. Love it. I think he's saying keep going. I know. I agree with that. Nate can be a little harsh on Bates. Keep it up.

He loves it. He loves it. Yeah, because it's funny. He loves it. Last one, Nick Brunel. If you want to help with traffic, just have Nate go wave those big, weird orange hands around the road to direct cars. Oh, Nick, that was, you know, I think they're getting toned down. I hope so. Went into the golf lesson this morning, right?

Got to ask you. Trying to get real good at golf. You're going to see. I'm going to start a golf podcast at some point because I love it too much. All right. That's the comments. Hope you guys like that. We appreciate you guys commenting. We think they're funny. We think they're interesting. We want to have y'all. So you have some say into this, you know, so you don't think we didn't forget about you. I know I'm not on social media a lot, so I know sometimes I get a lot of people wanting to interact, and I don't really –

Do it often. So this is the interaction. So if you want to interact, we're eventually get an email. Maybe we have advice, you know, stuff like that. Maybe you don't like these comments, but that's why you can fast forward. That's what this podcast is about. Skip ahead, man, to your parts. Yeah. We don't care. Bates and I were talking, somebody commented, uh,

I wish the comments weren't at the front. And then the next comment was, I love that they're in the front of the, it's just nobody, you know, fast forward if you don't like it. Yeah. That's the, that's figure out your system in watching this to be, that's the, that's the don't, you know, this we're trying to put it in. I think you got to start with the comments because it's going to be weird for us to go back into comments, especially if they're about the previous episode. Yeah. It's not going to make sense. Yeah.

So just fast forward. I mean, hopefully, I don't know. We don't know how long that was, but it was, you know, try to make them like 20 minutes or something, but just fast, you know, just kind of, you can guess. I fast forward through most podcasts.

I don't listen to this garbage, man. All right. I fast forward through this one. I've honestly, I go through and just skim and make sure, you know, I don't have like a sleeve hanging off, but I don't even care. All right. So the new, as you know, we're still trying to, we're trying to figure out what's the angle of this. What's the, you know, I mean, we're starting to podcast doing a show. It's, you know, we kind of stumbled into this talking about like kind of crazy things and kind of going down these rabbit holes.

And a couple of this one we're going to talk about today to get it started. I've come up with a new little system of thinking I will take a joke from my act because that's what's going to start this podcast today. And we're going to do a joke from our act. And then we are going to build off of that from that joke, the rabbit hole from the start of the joke.

And so we'll see if this works. We're going to try this until we stop it because it's stupid. That's the point of this. So the joke today that we're going to do is two thumbs Bargetzi. And it's a big famous joke of mine. No, it was on Brad Paisley's Comedy Roundup. It was on Netflix. But two thumbs Bargetzi, we're going to play it for you right now.

My last name is Bargetze. I know nothing about the history of my family. I've never really looked into it. So I asked a great uncle, told me a pretty wild story. We had a guy in our family that got killed, got murdered actually by a sickle, like the thing the Grim Reaper carries. And this was like the 1800s too, just so you don't have to feel. It's not a recent story. We're over it as a family. So...

The guy, it was his own fault to, uh, the guy's nickname, they called him Two Thumbs. Two Thumbs Bargetzi. And the reason they called him that was because he had two thumbs on one hand, but still had the other thumb. So not even a good nickname. I'm Two Thumbs Bargetzi. Everybody but him is Two Thumbs Bargetzi. He's the only not Two Thumbs we've ever had in the history of our family. So like I said, he was a troublemaker. Two Thumbs, he was hooking up with this guy's wife. So...

He's at her house. He leaves. The neighbor sees him. He gives him two thumbs, one hand up, you know? And the neighbor's like, all right. The husband gets home. The neighbor was like, hey, your wife's cheating on you with this dude. And he was like, who's the guy? And he was like, I don't know his name, but he had two thumbs on one hand. If that helps. And, you know, the guy was like, that helps a lot. It's, I mean, it's...

I didn't know you were going to be that specific. So I know exactly who it is. So Two Thumbs was at home. This is all what I was told. He was at home. He was gardening. He was extra good at gardening. And he's sitting there. He's gardening. And the sickle's there. And then he kills him. He kills him with it. And that's it. That's basically it. Bye.

Here's the lesson, all right, guys? The lesson is if you're doing something shady, that's not the time to stand out, you know? Like, don't, you don't want to be different then. Put your dumb hand in your pocket. I mean, if I had three legs and was going to rob a bank, I'm going to be the getaway driver. I'm not going to gallop in the bank with all three legs. Just blend in. That's the real message. Just don't stand out. All right.

Two thumbs Bargetze. A joke. It's a great joke. It's a good little story. Ronnie Bargetze, he's my second cousin. He coached at Vanderbilt in the 70s. I just said my uncle. I always think it's kind of weird to say your cousin, and it's like a 70-year-old man. And then you're like, what? But my dad lived with him. That's how my dad got to Nashville is he moved in with the –

Ronnie's an amazing person. Ronnie Bargetzi. He's the Bargetzi that my whole life has been. You Ronnie's boy? Because he was at Vanderbilt. Everybody knows Ronnie. He announced the Vandy Games. They choose to listen to Ronnie. I did.

so if you listen to Vending Games yeah and so Ronnie's the one told me so we were doing Christmas at his I think it was his house something we did Christmas one year and he was he just told me something and I but I remember thinking I was like I could maybe do that I could tell this story somehow so that's my crime I mean do you guys have any crime in your family any nothing I got a second cousin that's

Been to jail a time or two for some minor offenses, but... Nothing crazy. Just, you know, you got a cousin that... Just life. That's got some good stories. Yeah. I mean, do y'all ask him? Do you ask him questions? I mean, I see it. I've seen it a couple times on a website. Yeah. He's never been to prison. Yeah. It's just like, you know... But do you see him often? Maybe once a year. In between? In between? In and out? It really is. Sometimes he's not there. Yeah. Is he coming this year? You're like, ah...

He was, but, you know, he couldn't. The door was unlocked. What's he going to do? Not steal the stereo system, you know? And then so then everybody's like, yeah, no, I understand. I understand. Do you have anybody? No, I got nobody. A friend or anything that's done anything? Yeah, it's just normal, you know, college stuff. People get in trouble. Nothing serious. Thank God. Yeah.

Just, yeah. Like you get in trouble with like the RA or something. Oh, underage drinking and stuff like that. You know, bar fights, that kind of thing. Yeah. Did I have a male school? I don't know if we had any, I'm trying to, man, did I have a friend that may go to jail, prison? You know, what's really a bummer now is they, when you get arrested now, they put your screen, like your mugshot is online forever. That's how I know about like my second cousin. Oh really? Yeah.

Someone will send it to me. I mean, there's people that just end up in, they're just in prisons. They're in jail, like just in and out of trouble. Like they're just in trouble a lot. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's crazy. You just have people that are like, yeah, they're all in trouble. Like everybody's in prison or, you know, in prisons, jail is just your local jail. You're usually in and out, right? In prisons, it's the real deal. Yeah. That's when you're like go to trial and sentenced. Yeah.

Man. So two thumbs is our family crime. And it's all a true story. It's very funny. I mean, it's funny now, but it is insane. And when did that happen?

1800s? Yeah. What did I say? I don't know what I said. 1800s. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was like that. Maybe it was 19. Yeah. Maybe early. It was a long, long time ago. Yeah. I mean, he was, you know, where, I mean, you could kill somebody. You know, you think back then, like, how'd they even catch anybody? Yeah. No. I mean, you could just kill anybody. I mean, you could, it used to be just, you could kill anybody you wanted to. Not that long ago. Like, DNA wasn't really widely used until the 90s.

You ever watch old movies? When you watch old movies, they are the mob. Like I was watching mafia movies and the mafia. I mean, do they would just shoot people in restaurants and just get away with it. They can just be gone because there's no cameras, no DNA. So you just walk in. No ballistics. Yeah. You just, they throw the gun in a river.

And they move on. Yeah. And as long as there's no eyewitnesses and no one's going to eyewitness these guys. It's like footprints is the only thing they could look for. The cops have no thing to go off. What were they doing? John Mulaney is a, you know, that joke about DNA blood. No, he has a great joke about, uh, before DNA, they were like, uh, Lieutenant, there's a pool of the, the suspect's blood here on the floor. And you're like, ugh, gross. Yeah. Get that cleaned up so we can get on this case. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Not knowing. Yeah, that's funny. Speaking of family, what's weird? Think about like famous, like some famous crimes, some famous. What's some good family since none of you guys brought anything to the table? You grew up a bunch of losers. I come from a genius idiot family. The idiot genius family. We're murdering people. We also had two people in our family in the circus. Tightrope. Your family? Yeah.

And I don't know a ton about it. You know, that's the stuff. Sometimes I get told something and I go, oh, that's crazy. And I just move on. You wouldn't ask a follow-up? You should. You should ask one. And I will now. Okay. I will now. My dad's a magician. So I'm used to a lot coming at me. That's true. There's not a lot of stuff that I'm like, what? We have something crazy? You're like, yeah, it kind of makes sense now. I'm a comedian. My dad's a magician. My dad's president of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

Just got it. Big, big, big honor. Truthfully, right. And as you, for the next, for the next year. So we're very, very proud of them. Uh, but yeah, I'm used to, you know, my grandma's and bowling hall thing is weird stuff, man. We're just used to stuff coming at you. What job could your daughter have one day that would shock you?

I mean, just some educational job. A real job. A lawyer would blow my mind if she is just a doctor. If she's a doctor or something...

She's not doing some kind of scheme. We're very scheming. We're trying to trick you into making money. Just like, I'll tell you funny jokes. I'll be the fun guy in the corner. And you're like, all right, I'll pay for that. We're always that guy or we'll kill you. So we could see. Or we get killed, actually.

So we're thinking of famous crimes through history. Baby Lindbergh, the Lindbergh kidnapping. March 1st, 1932, the 20-month-old son of aviator Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from his home in Highfields, New Jersey. A homemade ladder was found under the window of the child's room. For the next two and a half months, America and much of the world were revisited by daily... Riveted. Riveted.

Also revisited. Riveted and revisited by daily updates and speculation from the police search for baby Charles. Suspicion spared no one, not even the Lindberghs. In April, news spread that a ransom had been paid, but still no child was recovered. Finally, in May, the child's corpse was found by the side of the road, not far from the Lindberghs' home. Baby Charles had been...

bludgeoned to death not long after he had been kidnapped. The resulting trial, sentencing and execution of German carpenter and ex-convict Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the crime would extend the infamy of the case four more years. It was called the crime of the century. So they did, for sure, those are the guys that did it? Well, there's always people who speculate

that, you know, it wasn't him. I think he denied it to the end, but there was some strong evidence because this is what's so crazy. Back then he sent a ransom letters to them. And I don't know if they just didn't get the police involved or not. This is just what I looked up on here. But, uh, another guy got involved and wrote an editorial in the paper, said you should give the baby up. And he's like, well, you bring me the money.

So a third party got involved and this guy brought him ransom money to a cemetery and gave it to him. Can you imagine doing that now? Like it just wouldn't work. The police would be hiding. They'd be all over you, but it worked. He gave him the ransom money and the guy did not give him the baby. Yeah. And then later they found some of the ransom money on him.

There was a lot of evidence against the guy. Yeah. I mean, such a crazy... Yeah, I mean, I guess back then that was just such a shocking thing. Steal it from a window. Climbed in a window. How famous was Charles Lindbergh? I mean, I think back then it was... I don't even know what it would be equivalent to now. He was an avian? So he just flew planes and he was that famous? He was the first American to fly solo across the Atlantic.

I think he's one of the most famous people in the world at that time. Okay. Yeah. And you, I mean, but would people know him more because of this kidnapping? You know? That's all I know him for. Yeah. Really? Now, yeah. So he would be like a Neil Armstrong type, like a... Yeah. That sort of figure. Okay. Which back then is when that...

That's when flying was a new thing. Yeah. And so like, that's when, and people actually, you know, now I don't, it's, you know, like social media, you know, like. Yeah. I was trying to think of an equivalent. No one now, you don't know. I mean, look, that guy that went to space, he's running for something. His bald heads, his name is Scott. He lived in space for a year. Oh, Scott Kelly? Yeah. Gabby Gifford's husband, right? Who has a twin brother? Yeah.

Yes. He lived in space for a year. So, I mean, it has to be. It's either that guy or not. I don't know. Was it a twin brother? You're like, he lived in space for a year. So, it's either. Does he have a mole? Yeah. Well, he did live in space for a year. So, unless your guy lived in space also for one year. I don't know for real. If you can't recognize him from the he lived in space for one year. Is he bald? I don't know.

He was a guy, I started following him on social media. And I just remember he was like always out. Like he's always like doing stuff when he came back. I think he just wanted to be around people. I was thinking about like his family. He's back with his family. You're like, is it weird? But he feels heavy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because he was in gravity. Because he was a big guy. Is that what you mean? No. Is it a fat joke?

Yeah, so I mean, but I mean, is that guy the most famous guy on the planet? No. Not even close. We just argued his, he lived in space for a year. But if his kid had been kidnapped, maybe. No, I think Charles Lindbergh was way famous before this happened. Okay. I mean, we were so curious about stuff. You got to think now we're not curious about any, you know, it's like, what could you be curious about? Even if someone went to Mars and lived on it, I mean, we're in a world now you'd be like,

I'd keep an eye, you know, maybe catch it in the news. It's pretty crazy. You just kind of, we feel like we've done everything or someone has done everything. I mean, they are saying we have aliens and we don't care. Exactly. And they're saying, so until we...

to the alien. Like, it's crazy. It's crazy. So back then, that was, I mean, flying was changing the world. I don't know. Like, now you're going to change the world. They're going to come up with stuff to change the world, but it's going to be like energy different and stuff that you're like, I don't care about. Do I not go to the gas station anymore? You're like, no, you don't. You're like, okay, all right. Yeah, I'll go do something else. You know, you just get used to it.

Another big famous family one, Patricia Hearst, granddaughter of newspaper magnate. Magnate? Yeah. Like a magnet. Newspaper magnet? Yeah. What is that? It's like a... I don't know what magnate means, but just called it a magnet. This is how you say it. Is it magnate or magnet? I think it's magnet. Magnate.

Okay. He's the granddaughter of a newspaper magnet. Any thoughts? He's the thing that holds your... He's the guy that invented the things that hold the newspaper clippings on a refrigerator.

Oh, so it has nothing to do with newspaper? He was like, no. He was the guy that, you know how you... Keeps all the pages together. You know, you have an article you write and you want to have it on the refrigerator. Oh, that's cool, man. Yeah, I was way off. I would have went into two different buildings looking for him. I just had no... I'm here for William Randolph. The guy that made the magnets to hung newspapers? Yeah. You know? You know him? Granddaughter of a newspaper magnet. Yeah.

I mean, it can't be Magnate. Magnate? Oh, it's Magnate. Let's just say Tycoon. That's better. Patricia Hearst, granddaughter of newspaper Magnate,

William Randolph Hearst became the central character of one of the biggest news stories of the turbulent 1970s. It was shocking enough on February 4th, 1974, when the 19-year-old Harris was kidnapped by a ratty band of Bay Area... Man, that was a run. We were on...

That was kidnapped by a ratty band of Bay Area urban revolutionaries, the Simanese National... I mean, come on. This is... What is this? I don't feel like the sentence is ever ending. Simanese National Liberation Army, who demanded as ransom that her father feed all the hungry in California. Wow.

But then, just over two months later, she was seen on camera assisting them in a bank robbery. Soon enough, the kidnapped victim had an arrest warrant of her own. It would be nearly a year and a half before she was captured. Despite the defense's strategy of brainwashing, her two-month trial in 1976 led to a seven-year sentence.

It was later commuted by then-President Jimmy Carter, and she served only 22 months. Bill Clinton granted her a full pardon on the day he left office. Hearst is now 66. That's wild. We have Hearst here right now. Hearst, Patricia Hearst, what's up with all the big words in your family? Patricia, let's cut to the chase here. Is your dad, did he do anything with magnets? At all? That's all we want to know. Yeah.

Did you have magnets? Were magnets invented when you were growing up? Do you remember the baby Charles Lindbergh? How do you know Charles Lindbergh? Hey, Patricia, how do you know? Charles Lindbergh ring a bell? What do you know him from? Do you know him from his aviating or do you know him from his kid that was kidnapped? There's a movie about this, right? I think so.

If not, there should be. I knew nothing about that story. That's pretty crazy. She's been in a few shows, too. I'd heard the name. It's one of those names that's part of the zeitgeist, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, she's... I mean, so she was... She wrote a... Yeah, this must have been a huge story. Yeah. I mean, what a fun... You know, not a fun story. But I mean, it's kind of a fun story. Yeah, it's kind of fun, everybody. It is fun. It is fun. Like, if you're... I mean, imagine the... I mean, just...

Like how wrapped up you would be in it, how crazy it would be. You know, like we, I'm going to kind of jump ahead, but like, it's like those famous stories. It's that you get wrapped up in. Yeah. Or, you know, I started watching, I went through some of them because I had someone talk about the, the like tabloid cases. Like that Patty Harris one had to be a gigantic. Yeah. I mean like just wall to wall coverage, you know, like just what's going on.

Because, I mean, they thought she was kidnapped first, and then she's a part of it. Yeah. And then she just wants to feed, the father feed all the hungry in California. I read that they, her father gave like $2 million to some hunger organization. I mean, just you have so much money. Yeah. God, there was a movie, what movie was it?

I think there's been a few miniseries and stuff. I don't think there's one movie that's well-known. I remember the biggest fabloid that I remember, Holloway, Natalie Holloway. That one was... I remember seeing that happen, and I remember following it, and always trying to keep up with it. Which one was that? Aruba. She went to Aruba. It was a high school kid, right? Yeah. And then...

They were on a trip and then she met Vander Sleuth, that guy, and then

That guy got away with it, and then that guy killed someone else in another country. Really? Oh, yeah. That was a great Patrice O'Neill. He opens his special, and he goes, remember Natalie Holloway? Talking about the media only cares about white girls. And he goes, what was his name? And everybody's like, Natalie Holloway. Everybody's like, yeah, yeah. And then that VanderSoo just killed that other girl. And he goes, and then that VanderSoo killed another girl. He's like, I can't... And she was like...

another country. I mean, I don't remember now. And he goes, what was her name? And everybody goes, ah, he goes, exactly. And it's very funny because it's the way he's leading into it. You're like, yeah, that's right. You know that he did it again. And you're, and he goes, well, it's her name. He goes, ah, exactly. But it's, yeah, I mean, I followed that story a lot. I mean, that was so great. I mean, these are heart, you know, heart wrenching stories and seeing all this other stuff. I mean,

It was like Casey Anthony was, I watched her, you know, I remember all that. My mom is obsessed with these. I think this is a very, your mom, your mom loves, most moms love this. Nancy Grace and all those. Oh yeah. They love that stuff. And I mean, I, I, everybody loves it, but they can get wrapped up into it. And, you know, Casey Anthony, that whole,

I mean, God, that was nuts. I watched that. There's great stuff on Hulu. You can usually see where they kind of

Because you kind of forget. It's easy to forget how big the story was and then how much media coverage it is. I mean, these people go from nobodies to the most famous people on earth. And people are investigating. I mean, they can't do anything. Everything that they do in public gets just scrutinized. Why did they do that? Why did they say that? I mean, Casey Anthony, there's all this stuff. She called the nanny Zanny.

And so that's Zanny is the slang for Zan or what's the drug Xanax. Yeah. So Zanny, so they think that she was like, Oh, where's she at? She's like, Oh, she's with Zanny the nanny. And so like, she was saying that there was this nanny that would watch, you know, uh, Kaylee, Kaylee Anthony, right. Uh,

Yeah. Her daughter. Yeah. And then would watch her and then she would be... So then they were like, well, Zany's a... Because Casey Anthony was doing all these drugs. And so she thinks she would give her Zany as her kid to put her to sleep so she didn't have to watch her. You think she did it, dude? Yeah. Yeah. Are there any of these cases that you follow that you don't think they did it or you question? Yeah. I mean, Casey Anthony, I think she...

killed her. I could see that idea. She killed her daughter some accidentally way and then it exploded from there and she tried to fix it. Amanda Knox. God, maybe Amanda Knox. I watched her. Amanda Knox. It's interesting. I was going to ask you about this. Some of these cases you only really remember

The first part of it. Like the Amanda Knox, she was acquitted and it's pretty much accepted she had nothing to do with what happened. Yeah. But people only remember the first, it's like the Duke Lacrosse kids. Yes. So many people don't remember that the Duke Lacrosse kids were totally exonerated from everything. But you only remember the first part of the story. Amanda Knox is one of those. Yeah. You know? Yeah. What did she, her roommate?

Right. Or something. Yeah. She was a college student studying abroad and her, I think her roommate or somebody she was staying with was murdered. She was blamed her and her boyfriend. Yeah. And yeah. And then it came out that it was just, it was some random dude. Yeah. Yeah. Broken in. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, you're usually, you know, they usually say you're going to be killed by someone you know. Scott Peterson, I had someone, KFC Kevin at Barstool, he went on a big thing about Scott Peterson. And I still don't agree with him. And then he got, like, he got me into, like, I was like, well, let me watch, you know, because I was like, I don't remember. I know Scott Peterson, obviously, but I wasn't watching these things just, you know, wall-to-wall coverage.

And they, and so I watched Scott Peterson because he's like, maybe he didn't do it and all this stuff. And then when you watch it, I, most things I watched, making him, making a murder, right? When you watch that, if you watch everything with idea that, you know, you're like, what are they not showing me? Yeah. They have to not be showing me something. And with Scott Peterson, I,

I mean, he goes to this weird... He goes to the place where they found her body. He had a boat. He goes fishing the day she goes missing at that lake. There's a lot of you like, well, what's he doing out there? It's when you're trying to really convince you that he didn't do it, that's when there's a problem. When they're trying to overly be like, yeah, but I mean, just because he was out of that boat doesn't mean... You know, you're really trying to convince someone that he's innocent. Then you're like, well, now I don't really believe it because you're really having to work hard.

I would think with a lot of these big cases, at least, it's pretty obvious. You know, if he didn't do it, it'd be pretty obvious. And then he would scream from the towers that he didn't do it. And he was like, he was calling her, he had another girlfriend. Yeah.

I mean, the craziest thing, there was a robbery across the street that same day from that house, which is, I mean, talk about a neighborhood. You're like, what goes on in your, how's the crime in your neighborhood? How is it? I mean, you got a robbery over here, murder over here. I mean, a lot going on. Are you here for the crime? Like that's, that would be a neighborhood you're like, I would like to move in more crime neighborhood. You're like,

Do we have the neighborhood for you? Scott Peterson happened there. Robbery over there. Did they get together and do it together? No. Two separate things happening at the same time.

The Mendez Brothers, I haven't watched. I want to watch that. I don't really remember that at all. I'd be very curious about that. There's a documentary on Netflix. So I'm actually going to go watch that. Jodi Arias, I watched her kind of thing. It's on Hulu. It's like a breakdown story. I want to watch the big media covered. She was just a crazy person. Jodi was. What'd she do? She killed – the guy was a Mormon.

And she dated him and he lived in Utah. And then she, I think they broke up and he had two roommates and then they broke up and then she kind of showed back up. And then it was, and then she left and she killed him like in a shower. And he was just dead for two days before I think he might realize that because they were supposed to go on a trip and

He was going to go on a trip and it didn't happen. And then they found... But I mean, the roommates... Because then everybody's like, well, the roommates, how do you... Because that's what everybody does. They go, how do you not notice a dead body in your house? But the roommates are like, I don't know. We didn't go in his room, man. Like, you know, where you're like...

I don't know. He's working. He leaves early. And, you know, I mean, I think you can easily as your roommates be like, you just don't cross paths. Yeah, I've lived in with with my old roommate. There's just a whole half of the house. I would never, never go over there.

So he could have been there for weeks, Dad, before I'd noticed. Yeah, you'd have to start smelling it. And then you'd look really bad. Right. But, yeah, you're just like, yeah, man, I didn't go. You know, it's like your roommates. I mean, yeah, you probably would – you cross paths. Yeah, every now and then. You watch TV together. I mean, I always had roommates that were my friends. I never –

was into the, I never got into the, you have the room, you know, people have roommates that they don't even know. And like, so it got very much the longer you do that. But, you know, yeah, there'd be days where you could not do it. But yeah, she was crazy. I don't know Susan Smith. She's the one that drowned her kids. Oh, that stuff makes sense. Drove the car like in the water. Yeah, that's nuts too. That stuff's brutal. Just brutal, man.

I hate it because you have a kid. It's just, you know, kids are so innocent and they just obviously don't deserve any of this. Let's lighten it up a little bit. Yeah. You know? All right. Let's go. Oh, this kid murdered his parents. All right. So, it's just got to be fun. Yeah. Let's just try to be fun. The DB Cooper plane hijacking. We're just, I mean, obviously we go into this, maybe some crimes. This is all stemming off two thumbs. Yeah.

Two, oh man, I'm going to pick some. D.B. Cooper plane hijacking. I mean, I can give you the highlights if you'd like. Yeah, give the highlights. So in 1971, this guy told the flight attendant, he was on a flight in the Pacific Northwest. He told the flight attendant he had a bomb. He lifted the briefcase, showed her he had what appeared to be a bomb.

Did she ask what his source was on the bomb? That's what she said. Who's your source? I'd like to see some sources on, at least show me more.

That's connected. Well, you know, the funny thing is that I read it. He handed her a note and she just assumed it was a guy hitting on her and she just put it in her purse. And then he was like, ma'am, you might want to read that note. And then she read it and was like, I have a bomb. But isn't that funny? That's so funny. It must have been so common. I mean, dude. Yeah. He goes, she's like, ugh. And then she puts it in her purse. And then he's like, he's got to ring the bell again. And then she comes back and he's like, I mean, could you read the note? And she's like, oh.

And then he's just like, he's just keeping a look at her. Just like, and then she goes, and she's still not going to read it. And then she looks back at him and he's like, like he's doing that. Like that's what he's having. I mean, he thinks it's going to be this cool. Yeah. I have a bomb. He's like, I do have a bomb. He stands up. Everybody's scared and having to be. Just, and she's like, let me just give a couple of drinks. And he goes,

And then he has to let them get the... And then she does a couple of drinks. Another note probably from another guy. He's like, oh. And then he's like, no, don't. Now you're going to be confused. She reads that. You read that note first. And then he sits finally just... And she goes, I'm bummed. She looks and he goes...

I told you. Yeah. Yeah. A little different. Maybe don't be so judgmental and think every guy's hitting on you, sweetheart. I mean, the deficit sweetheart back then. Hey, sweet. Hey, toots. Maybe don't think everybody's hitting on you, all right? I don't think you're that hot anyway to begin with. Anyway, I have a bomb. Back to my bomb stuff.

So he showed her the bomb and they land the plane. He forces them to land the plane somewhere. They announced to the passengers that there was like a maintenance issue or something and they get him his ransom money. I mean, you think he's even going, there's a maintenance engine. He's like, I hear there's a bomb. He's like starting the rumor going, don't quote me, but I'm hearing some other people. I was up front earlier to the bathroom. I think

And he had a, he said he lowered his, his shade. He didn't say this, but they say he lowered his shade to keep from a sniper, like taking them out while they're in the tarmac. And then, uh, he had a window seat. He's doing this from a window seat. Apparently. Wow.

I think you'd want to be loose. I feel more in control of the situation in an aisle seat. Maybe back then. I'd be in first class, too. He had to pass the note across somebody else to the stewardess. Excuse me. Can I? Sorry. Could you give her this? Yeah. Could you hand her this note? Could you? Yeah. That's funny.

And then he showed her the bomb. She had to lean over a person in the aisle seat. What's that? He's asleep. Just the guy in the middle. Did he actually have a bomb on the plane? I'm not sure. But they got him his ransom money. The flight takes back off and he has a parachute and he straps on the parachute. Oh, I think they got everyone off the plane except him. And then the flight takes off and he jumps from the plane.

and never found. Body or anything. I think for some reason, I feel like they... Well, what's crazy is they got everybody off the plane. But I guess the pilot, so they don't want the pilot to die. So...

Yeah. They just said that they could tell from the air pressure in the back, like, you know, what's going on. And they could tell that a door was opened and then they finally feel comfortable enough. Like, let's go look and he's gone and they never found his body. They've found a few of the bills scattered, I think over the years, but no one still knows who he is. It was a fake name. They don't even know the identity of the guy.

So it's kind of a crazy story. You're never going to know. I mean, that's what's crazy is you're never going to know. Yeah. There's like a few suspects that they think maybe, but most of them are dead now. Do they know how old this guy looked back then? Because this is in 1971. I'm wondering, what are the chances this guy's still alive? I think they thought he was in his 40s. Okay. So probably not. Yeah. He'd be in his 80s. He'd be in his 90s. Yeah. Maybe 90s by now. Yeah. Super. How much money was it? I feel like it was like $200,000.

Yeah. I mean, you think you got to... Yeah, he extorted $200,000, equivalent to $1,260,000. It's over a million. I mean... They always say that it was equivalent, I guess, for then. But, you know, then $2,000, does his money go up? You know, everybody says, well, today, that's... Like, Paul Escobar, you know, we talked about that was the equivalent of...

And you're like, but it's not that money. So like now, it doesn't mean you hit... Or does it mean like you hit 2,000... I think it means 200,000 had the spending power that 1.2 million has today. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I never wrap my head around why people always said that. You just explained it. Good job, Aaron. I think... I have no idea if that's true. No, I think that's a little bit... That's how I've always thought of it. I think that's it. Yeah. That's a good way to think of it. Is... I mean...

You know, that's pretty crazy story. Dude is a million dollars worth. I was just thinking, is it worth doing that for? I mean, you gotta think a million dollars is a lot. And so if you're someone that doesn't have a regular, say this guy's making $10,000 a year,

I mean, he's like, he can go live forever. He just, I mean, he probably is alone. Probably just stayed on his own. Went and just bought a, you know, wherever he jumped out of. And then just eventually got nothing. No one knew who he was. That girl, you know. They said there was a lot of copycats after that that were not successful, but other people tried it. Yeah. You just got to think best case scenario. He has a million dollars, but he has to live the rest of his life.

In hiding. That's the best case scenario. But not really. They don't know him. I mean, who... So no one ever saw him, right? It seems like the FBI, none of them ever saw him. I mean, they have a description just from the flight attendant. Yes. So they have a description of the flight attendant. Most people look basically all the same anyway. So unless you have two thumbs, some weird thing, he's going to just kind of blend in. They have no cameras. They just...

At what point do they even just give up and go, he did it. He got away. Yeah. Like, you know, do they ever try to... Well, it says the FBI suspended the investigation in 2016. So in 2016, they finally go, that's enough. We're done. And I mean, some guy's in an office and he's been there since 1971. And he's like, what's that? Suspended. Yeah.

I was so close. I was right there. I think I got him. I could feel it. Think about how lax, though, the airport must have been then if you had a fake ID and a bomb on you and you get away with it.

Yeah, I've only flown in a post-9-11 world. So it's just the idea of a guy with a fake name getting onto a plane like that and they don't know anything about him is crazy to me. Yeah. I remember flying before 9-11 when I was supposed to go on a trip and I was using another buddy's ticket. And I went and used his ID to try to get on the plane. And they were...

I think they were like, we need to see a social security card too for some reason. Because I think they probably were like, this doesn't look that good. But I remember you thought it was okay to try. What happened? I was going to need him to give me a social security card too. So it didn't work? It just didn't work. I was at the airport trying it. Wow. Because the guy couldn't go.

And so he couldn't go. And then... So he was like... I was like, I can just use the ticket. Yeah. And then I'll just use your ID. And then... You'd be arrested now, right? Huh? Wouldn't you probably be arrested now? I mean, I might have been arrested then. Yeah. But it was just definitely...

easier to do i mean it just you didn't even think it was that stupid to try yeah it sounds so absurd it's like trying to use a fake idea to bar i mean you just were like oh yeah i was just trying yeah yeah it was my buddy's ticket i thought i could go because you couldn't transfer the ticket over yeah you know so yeah i mean you just didn't you thought it was okay to even give it a go

That's crazy. I mean, there's no security. I mean, you just walk right up to the gate back there. You'd walk up everybody. Yeah. You'd walk everybody to the gate. I don't think, I think anybody could go to the gate. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. Back then when you got off the plane, if they were, they could be waiting for you right there and you get off. Yeah. Simpler time. Simpler, simpler time. Uh, if, uh, let's just do this other, another fun one. The Brinks job, the 2.7, 7, 5 million, 29.5 million today. Uh,

See? Mm-hmm. Theft of the Brinks headquarters in Boston, 1950, was then the largest robbery in the history of the United States and remained so until 1984. The robbery, skillfully executed with few clues left at the crime scene, was billed as the crime of the century. But it wasn't...

The other thing, the crime of the century? Yeah, wasn't it? It was called the crime of the century. They revised it. They didn't know about it. That shows you that people forget 1932. Someone already about 1950, this is the crime of the century. 18 years later. Charles Lindbergh's got a little something to say about that. And they go, who's that? The guy with the baby? What was his job? He flew, I think.

uh, flew planes. He's a pilot or something for American airline. Uh, just something they'd knock it down to that. I don't know. He's a pilot for Southwest. I think so. Uh, he gets Charleston. Just kids. Yeah. I was the first one to fly across the Atlantic ocean. Like, Oh, which one, which ocean is that? Which side is that on? Uh, no one's impressed.

So the robbery skillfully executed with few clues left to the crime scene was billed as a central crime of the century. It was the work of an 11-member gang, all of whom were later arrested. The planning and practice had a military intensity to them. The attention to detail, including the close approximation of the uniforms of the Brinks guards, was near genius. To this day, no one has found the money. What's the bigger crime? Do you know that?

This was the largest robbery in the history of the United States until 1984. Can you look up that? Yeah, I mean, that's a real deal. These are the crimes that

I feel like this is the crime you want if there's crime. You don't want senseless. You don't want these lunatic killing our kids. Right. You don't want those people. They're the worst people. Like, this is a crime. You're like, no one dies. It's just the guy jumping out of the plane. Yeah. Like, that's the crime. That's the evil you want to live with the world. Yeah. And the fact that it's a guy that you're like, I mean, a lot of people could root for him. Yeah. These guys did it with class.

A little Mafia. Mafia's got a little bit of that where they, there's a little, like, you know, they don't, it's not with the families, you don't do it at, you know, like, I'm watching The Irishman

And, you know, I don't get, but they talk about killing someone where they go, you know, and they did it in front of the guy's family on purpose though, because he does it in front of people's family is that was the idea behind that was, well, his family should see it because he does his killings in front of, so they gave what he wants. Normally you would never do it in front of the family was there. You wouldn't do it. And there's a, they have ethics. Yeah.

Yeah. There's a, you know, I mean, look, it's complete psychos that are killing people. Yeah. But it's, there's a system to it. There's, you know, you're, you know, I'm watching, I was going back to John Wick.

I've never really watched John Wick. I watched the first one, and so I'm going to watch the second, third one tonight. Or just the second one tonight. And just like my Mission Impossible, I'm going to always keep you guys, the listeners, updated on... I always look at the camera. I don't think everybody ever... This camera's not on. There's... I... So John Wick, they have a hotel, right? Have you seen John Wick? No, I haven't. They have a hotel that all...

that assassins go to and nothing's supposed to happen in this hotel. Like it's the one place an assassin, because all these, this group of assassins, they could all be trying to, they always feel like they're going to get killed if they leave. So, but in the hotel, it's supposed to be, you can drink, you can relax. Nothing. Safe space from the, yeah. Safe space. And so I feel like the mafia had that kind of,

thing like they had you know you didn't do stuff to family you didn't do this you didn't you know there was such a respect to the family and then most of the crime until drugs came involved were this kind of crime they were it was robbing brinks or it was you know jumping you know it's very just trying to scan the system not paying the taxes in a certain way yeah stuff that guys could truly get behind guys that were you know like you could be if you're a blue collar worker you're like

You were like, good for them, man. Go. Yeah, you're rooting for them. Stick it to them. Stick it to them. They would loan money out. So, yeah, the mafia was...

It seems like it's, you know, I don't think it's that bad. You know, I would join. It's now. But then and the drugs came involved and then it just got more ruthless. I mean, money just got crazier. And I mean, that's what the cartel came and stuff like that. I also looked up to like, could you hire it after watching John Wick as a could you hire an assassin?

And, I mean, there's real answers to, like, Quero? Quero? How do you say that? Quero? Q-U-A-R. Quora? Quora? That's how I would say it. Yeah, that you ask questions. You can ask questions and they give you the answer. And so I looked up, can you hire an assassin? You can hire them on the dark web. I was reading a thread about it recently. Yeah, but they don't. You're more than likely going to get caught.

then you're actually going to get to an assassin. Oh, yeah. Like they... I looked up to... Like it says like, you know, what do you want? Like five grand, straight killing? Do you want us to... Crippling? Do you want to cripple them? Do you want to make them blind forever? Like there's different... We'll do whatever you want to go do. But a lot of that stuff's...

police and then it's they arrest more than you probably realize they arrest more people but it was funny someone was like how can I be an assassin if what if I want to be an assassin you know someone they're like look

it's murder it's not you know obviously if you can get past all that and then here's the way you should do it and then like would it go into like you need a military background you need to be trained you need to be you could be asked to do all this because like just like it's a someone's really you know you got to go meet probably like if you're gonna be hit man in the mafia you gotta go meet the guy you'd be nice to him you say this is what i want to do he goes and then once you open that door

Somebody even said, you got to realize that once you say, I want to be a hitman, there's a chance you're going to have a guy come try to kill you. And then you got to kill that guy to then get that job. So when you always got to then, so once you go open the door of saying, I want to be a hitman and you go meet someone that would hire a hitman, you're going to have a chance.

Now it's on the table that you will actively have possibly – then the guy goes, well, maybe I don't have that good of a hitman. Maybe you got a hitman and you're like, I'm thinking about mixing it up a little. I think he's getting too comfortable. I think he's a little sloppier. He's phoning it in. So they go, we got a hitman. So if you kill their hitman –

then you go. So if you ever, so the listeners at home, if you ever have hit men come after you, say you don't want to be a hit man, but if you ever had a hit man assassin come after you, if you can kill him, then you got a new job. Whether you like it or not. Whether you like it or not, if you kill the assassin,

You live a different life. Are you concerned at all that there's going to be a crime and you've got on your computer Googling how to hire an assassin? No. Not at all. It was on Cura. But you Googled it, right? Yeah, I mean, I was Googling like, is assassins...

are they real? Is it a real thing? Like, is it, you know, you always see assassins and someone's like, yeah, it's not as cool as like movies and stuff. It's straight up. Usually they try to do it. It's a grind. The guys that are good. It is. It's a lot of waiting. It's every day. It's like, what do you do? I'm an assassin.

No, that's pretty interesting. It's like they go, they do maybe two a year. Yeah. And most are, they're trying to make it look as natural as possible. You know, they're not, it's not like you're just sniping a guy off a roof. You're trying to poison them. You're trying to, you know, they study them and it's a lot of paperwork. It's, you know, yeah, it's just, you know, we romanticize it, but it's not as good as it, you know,

I think this Brinks... You're not like the Iceman. Right. Like that guy was a true hitman. You ever watch his... Somebody just told me about him. He would like spray something on you and you'd die away later? No. Like in the back of his neck? He was in the mafia. Iceman killed...

people he loved killing people yeah and would do it randomly i mean he had a family and stuff and just would live a normal family life but then i mean that's like someone that when they go to the wife like did you know he was killing all these people and you you're like once you say it i mean like now it makes sense now yeah like exactly but no they can't wrap their head around that but yeah i mean there he was a mafia he enjoyed killing people so he did kind of that i i

this is my thing. I want to do it. Why not go get paid to do it? I mean, he killed, kids cut him off. I mean, he would like, I mean, he was like working his craft and he would, there's, I mean, you watch the thing on HBO, they interviewed him and he just talked like, I mean, kids like cut him off and he followed them and then killed them. Like, you know, just dumb kids.

Just killed them all. Like at Christmas time, wasn't he like assembling something and he would leave, go do a killing and come back on Christmas day? Yeah. Yeah. Got a lot of people. So, all right. Did you find the... Not the one from 1984. I mean, there's a lot of them on here, but... But maybe it's been passed. Well, maybe so. I just, I can't find one from 1984. It's just a bunch of different ones. I was going to say The Brink's Job though. I think like The Town, movies like that are based on The Brink's Job. Yeah. Town's a great movie. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't have it, Nate. So just what's one of them? Go to number one. The Central Bank of... All right. Wow. What's it called? Go back up. The Central Bank of Iraq Robbery. Central Bank of Iraq Robbery.

Another robbery in Baghdad became the largest, I've been to Baghdad, became the largest bank heist in history. The mastermind was none other than Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein. Well, that's, I mean, this is like an inside job. I know. One day before the Iraq war began in 2003, he sent three large trucks to the bank. He sent his son,

uh quasi with a is it quasi qc qc i would have skipped it i think it's qc he also said his son jonathan uh which is uh with a handwritten note asking to withdraw nearly one billion dollars keep it from enemy hands the money was loaded to the van most of the cash was covered in in raids but it

dozen in here tasked with counting the illicit loot american soldiers made off with hundreds of thousand dollars for themselves and their families 35 service members were caught i mean let them have it you know uh i've been to uh both of their houses yeah yeah you've told us that yeah uh q say and uh let's go above that and see if there's a good one an american yeah q

Yeah, does it seem like that's America? No, that's in Baghdad too. Baghdad, a hot spot for bank robberies. Knights Bridge, that doesn't seem like London. It's Italy, Britain. We've got to get America back up to number one here. Brazil, I mean, there's the Brinks shop, right? So the Brinks shop, so that's it. Oh, no, that's a different one. That's a different one. Brinks is getting after it. North Ireland. I mean. Is there American on here?

Lebanon. Hey, that's where you're from. Yeah. Lebanon, Tennessee. Here we are. Here we are. All right. So the United California bank ice in 1972, mid-golly, man. There's not a Bill Smith rob a bank? Is there not a Anthony Dennis? Like just a normal, my name's Bill Jones. I'm one of the biggest bank robbers of, you know, thank you.

Emil Dionisio, a professional criminal from Ohio, assembled a gang of six robbers and flew them to California. They rented a townhouse and planned a heist on a bank where they had mistakenly heard President Richard Nixon kept a multimillion-dollar slush fund. The crew dynamited their way to the vault, stole $30 million worth of cash and valuables, fled after meticulously scrubbing down the townhouse.

Why would they scrub down? Because they don't want fingerprints. Yeah. The cops eventually identified the robbers through a generous tip they'd given a taxi driver and through fingerprints found on the inside of the town's home dishwasher. So basically, you just had not, back then, and they sold $30 million. So basically, back then, you just had not, you just didn't have to get noticed.

Like they can, once they, if they got you, they can do the fingerprint thing to figure it out. But if you just don't get seen and don't do anything around it, I mean, you could, I mean, it wasn't a big deal. Your only threat was the actual guarding of the thing that you're trying to get. Yeah. So the threat is to get on that train and to get the stuff. That's the only, that was really the only threat.

They don't go ride a taxi driver. You know, they don't tip them some stupid amount. Yeah. They don't do something weird. Well, I don't know how they found the townhome.

It's good that they were spreading the word. Well, a generous tip from the taxidrivers. The taxidrivers goes, why are these three guys? And then you can start asking questions. Oh, they just flew to whatever. I'm sure they had to buy a ticket. The guys bought it. You know, it's like you're able to eventually be a detective and detect from there. But all you need is another door to open, and that door opens, you start asking questions around that door.

But how crazy, you scrub down the townhouse and then they're like, hey, did you get in the dishwasher? No, man, I ran the dishwasher. That will take care of the fingerprints. Are you sure? Inside of the townhome's dishwasher? If it, you know, what if we were a heist? You know, us three. Three of us? Three of us. It wouldn't go well. I mean. Yeah. What would we be? Well, who would be the mastermind? I mean, I think I'd be the mastermind.

Yeah, I would be the diversion guy. I would like block security cameras. You know, I could be... You could take out two at the same time? Yeah, he would be a little more technical guy. I'd be the... Look, I'd dress up as a UPS guy and just like, I don't know, hold a balloon in front of a security camera, that kind of stuff. Yeah. I'm not... I, you know...

I don't think I'd want to take the lead of a heist, but I think with us, I would have to take the lead of a heist. I would think with our best, I would prefer to get a crew that I could maybe rely on someone else just because I'm such new to this. But if this is the only crew I got, I think I'm taking control of it. I think you would – somebody would be standing too close to you at the back of the line. You'd blow it before you even started. You'd start yelling at them. I don't think so. I definitely don't think you would be at the scene of the crime. No, I'd be the getaway driver.

I'm a good driver. No. Are you a good driver? No. Yeah. That's crazy. I'm safe 10 and 2. You'd be yelling at people. I would. Get out of the way. No, but we would run out. Yeah. And then you would be like, I got to let the car warm up. And then we would sit. You have no sense of urgency. So you would be a lot of, I'm getting over when I can. And it's like.

But you don't make a scene. You got to make a scene to get out to leave. You got to make the scene. I would be driving to get us out. And then I would be like, now you take over and drive, you know, so you're, you're now we look, we blend in more, but you would, we, you would get us caught. Cause you would, you'd be like, I got to follow the laws. Yeah. There's a, there's a red light. And I'm like, I know. So who's the getaway drivers?

You? I think I'm doing a lot. I'll be honest with you. I was going to say, if you're the getaway driver, then Brian is like the George Clooney of our organization. I think he's back at the – I think you're back at the house. Cleaning? Cleaning it. Getting snacks ready for us when we get back because I think we'll be hungry. Getting water for everyone. And I want some cookies. I think we should do some cake. I think we should celebrate. Okay.

And I want the same house. That's all I get to do? Yeah, I think I want you to go back there and get the room. I want to make sure that no one's poking around while we are gone. And you could be like, well, I talked to this old lady for quite a while. While I was driving the heist was going on. I think you're there. I don't think I can have you. You come home, the door's locked. Just open it up.

Yeah, I don't think I can risk having you. No. You can't be there. I would be the only reason you guys wouldn't get caught. No, you'd be the absolute reason. It's something you'd get in the way. It would be, I can't have you driving. I can't have you in there trying to jam money in, and you're fumbling it, and you drop the bag, and you grab the wrong bag. Yeah.

I mean, I'm doing the whole thing, man. Yeah. I think it's me and Aaron. What's Aaron doing? Carrying a balloon? Something. I would trust it. He's doing something. Because people die from balloons? I could set a diversion. I'll do something. I just... Yeah. We don't want a diversion. Hey, there's nothing wrong with having the house...

We got to fuck to the safe house to be in order. There's nothing that's not crazy, dude. That's a job that has to be done. Someone's got to do it. Be the guy that does the job where it keeps the house in order. Are we splitting the money equally?

Yeah. I think we will. Yes. I'm a, look, I'm a very generous guy, so I do want to always split everything equally, but I think me and Aaron would eventually be upset about that. Yeah. Like, I think, I think, I think it would grow that grow to resent you. We'd grow to be like, I mean, he made the bands. You think he really, and I don't know who says it first. I think maybe Aaron says to me first kind of say, it's kind of crazy. I mean, look, I, he ordered pizza. Pizza was there as hot.

I had my soda that I like. I like, I get it, dude. I get, I'm not saying we don't need the guy. I get why the guy's there. Do I think he deserves? He has zero risk. Say we get caught. He's just a guy living in a house.

And he fits the, you know, it's going to be like, oh, you live alone, sir? Everybody thinks obviously he lives alone. He fits the description of when the cops go knock on the door. You live alone? They go, so you live alone? They say it first to him. So you live alone here, sir? You're like, well, I didn't say that. And you go, oh, I'm just saying what you're wearing. I thought you lived alone. All right, you're making some good points.

What would be your mastermind, though? What would you do? What's the robbery? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it's going to be stealing money. I don't want to kill anybody. So you want to be... It's got to be some kind of... It's got to be that kind of crime where you're stealing some money like that. I feel like you wouldn't do a museum. That's a lot. That's a lot. You'd have to do a lot of research. You would have to find... You'd try to find something that's... I would definitely go to a smaller town, and you'd try to go somewhere that's a little...

you know, backwards, don't have all the technology that you would expect. And you go do something like that. That's where I'd fit in. I mean, that's like, what's that movie? They do that. They go robbing banks in these small towns. Hell or high water. Yeah. Great movie. Yeah, it is great. And they go to, they go to these small banks where it's, they, you know, I'm not, you do fit in there, but I, I just can't run the risk of you. You gotta be running in and out. You gotta be. I said the getaway car.

I know, but we need speed. Not if the plan is good. Hey, the plan involves speed. There's no way that you're going to have such a great plan that you're like, so we walk outside, we sit for 15 minutes as the car warms up, and you do, like, there's all, you know, I feel like, I mean, is it gassed up? And you're going to be like, I mean, that's what I think is going to happen. Is the car gassed up? You're like,

We just need to stop real fast. And then we would, after we would do the robbery, we would immediately be getting gas. No, I'd be getting gas while you guys are in there. Yeah. Oh, it's only empty. I think I got time. I mean, you would be posting on Facebook. Hey guys. What? Any questions? I'm saying that's what you're posting on. I don't know. You're just on Facebook posting something.

Hey guys, hanging out with everybody today. I'm just saying. He goes live with three people. A steadily get caught. There's nothing to be ashamed of having that house ready. That's a respectable job. Respectable job. All right. Speaking of dumb criminals, let's go through some of these. Thieves use blowtorch to break into ATM, accidentally set cash on fire.

That's on me. I'm bringing you into the picture. Walmart brought back greeters in 2015 to combat theft. After reporting it, it loses about 1% of its U.S. revenue or $3 billion a year to stealing by customers and employees.

So that's why the greeters are back at Walmart. Yeah, I thought that was interesting. As they tell you, it's that they're there for customer service, but they're 100% there to deter shoplifting. And it seems to work a little. Believe it or not, just putting old people out there seems to help that. It seems to, yeah. It's just another thing. You just don't want... You got to look at who's going to be the problem. And if you just have enough...

poking around. Yeah. You got to do someone else. You always got to be worried that an old person's going to come up and go, can I help you with that? And you're like, Oh God, no. Uh, my father-in-law is 81 years old and his job is he works security at the frist.

At the where? The Frist. What's the Frist? It's a museum downtown where they have $30 million artifacts there. Yeah. And he's security. But really, he is like that. He's the guy that just kind of, can I help you, sir? You got to get the older people that are nosy enough to, you know, because you get to a certain age, you get pretty nosy.

And that's what you need. You need some, you know, some people that are like, oh, I'd love to know, what are these guys up to? I can't wait to see what they're up to. And that's all, you know, it's a good thing. They like being around. They like talking. They like helping. Right. I get it. Man suspected of an arson and vandalism in Ohio sent a selfie to the police because he didn't like the photo on his arrest warrant.

Donald Chip Pugh. There's a name. There's a name. This is a name that does something like this. Chip Pugh. Chip. Donald Pugh. I go by Chip Pugh. Texted police a photo of himself and wrote, here's a better photo. That one is terrible. Man, they just did me wrong. Mr. Pugh told an Ohio radio station about why he went and sent the selfie. They put a picture out that made me look like I was a Thundercat.

Or James Brown on the run. I can't do that. There's the photo. That's funny. So, I mean, that's, you know, imagine he thought, I look like a Thundercat. And someone that he said probably laughed so hard, he's like, I mean, I got to come out of hiding. That joke's going to be great. Like, you know. Or James Brown on the run. They're like, dude, you have to call in. Call into a radio station. Wow. And did he go to jail? I think he got caught after that. Yeah. Yeah.

Arson and vandalism in Ohio. Send a selfie. Yeah. There's also kind of a goofy, silly one, the mystery pooper. For the past decade, a Norwegian golf course has been dealing with a serial pooper who decides to leave dirty toilet paper and poops in the bottom of holes. UPI reported Stavanger Golf Club, a scenic waterside course in Hasford, Hasford, Jordan.

claims they have been finding poop in the Coors' cup since 2005. Wow.

I mean, if you went and played that course, I mean, it's almost like help the course. You probably got to go play it, and then you're like – Just to see if you find one? I mean, what if you go and he's not there, you know? You play golf. How big of a deal would that be if somebody was doing that at your golf course? You know, I was at – I'm not there now, but I was at Old Hickory Country Club in a very blue-collar country club. It was a great – DuPont Plant. It was in Old Hickory. I got married there.

I wasn't a member there, but I became a member when I joined, when I moved back and now I'm at a different legends. And, uh, but anyway, so they, uh, and I've had, this is golf club. If people notice my hat, sometimes that's a, it's a, another club. I'm not a member there, but, uh, but they, uh, at old Hickory, we would get,

People would drive cars on the fairways in greens and do donuts. And so you would go there the next day and you would see just a green would be torn up. And it happened over and over again. And I don't know if it still happens or if they eventually caught the person. But it was like trying to figure out. Everybody's trying to figure it out. It was very frustrating because just someone, you know, you're like, dude, you're trying to golf. And then a whole green is torn up.

So, I mean, 2005, that's 14 years. So now, you know, or 15 years they've had to deal with, you know. Dude, the fact that it's been going on that long makes me think it's an inside job and it's a, you know, it's an employee of this place. Yeah, maybe. Oh, is it the same course? It's the same course. This has been happening periodically over, you know, decades. It could be a local. Yeah. So, you know, yeah.

I would almost bet it's a local. It's someone that lives near there. Yeah. And they, you know. Has a beef with the course being there or something. Yeah. But DNA now. They could get him. All right. So the last one, I think I want to read A Perfect Crime.

to end this episode. Uh, which one of these is better? Is it, do you know? Well, one of them is just cause the guy died. Okay. What's the other one? The other one is where they stole an artifact or replaced it with a replica and no one knew it. So that's the first one. Okay. Tucker crosses in an emerald studded 22. Oh, Tucker's cross is an emerald study studded 22 carat gold cross discovered by Bermudian. Is that how you say that? Man, Bermudian. Uh,

Man, that word, I got to the end of that world before my brain goes, I don't know if we know this word. Like, that's what my brain said, and I was already to the end of the word. I got ahead of my brain. Like, I need to just say stuff and don't let my brain jump in. Bermudian marine explorer Teddy Tucker in 1955. It was considered to be the most valuable single object ever found in a shipwreck. In 1975, it was discovered that the Tucker's cross was stolen from

from the museum and replaced with a replica. No one knows when it was stolen or and replaced. The discovery of theft occurred just before Queen Elizabeth II was to visit the museum. Government officials believe the swap between the real and the fake was an inside job and no evidence supports the claim. Since the thief went through the trouble of making a replica, many speculate the job was done by an international art thief. Investigations were made

conducted by the Bermuda police, FBI, Scotland Yard, Interpol, but there was little evidence for them to go on. Therefore, the whereabouts of the original cross is unknown. Wow. I think that's what you get into art, like art thief, stuff like that. You get into that kind of thing would be the way to get into it. But yeah, I mean, that's, you know, I mean, where are you going to sell that? You know, I guess they know, but you're in those circles. I mean, obviously this is such a,

good thing that the guy did so good yeah that yeah he probably knows someone but it's like even if someone buys it like this can't pop up yeah i've always thought about that when you steal these this priceless art it's like what do you do with it yeah i mean it has value you can sell it to people that are you know yeah words are going to get out though like you're not gonna you can't put it on your mantle yeah you know and have people over they're like oh yeah maybe you break it up

And they sell it piece by piece. But what would be valuable broken up? Well, if it's got, if it's emerald studded 22 karat gold, I mean, you bring the gold up. Think about like the guy who stole the Mona Lisa and he kept it in his apartment for like two years and then finally tried to sell it and immediately got caught. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, where are you going to? Exactly. I mean, how do you even meet somebody? And he wants to, yeah. All right. That's it, right? That felt like long enough.
