• 2:04

• 2:12
  Speaker 1: not not too far off there. But yes, but oh goodness,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and I'm reading the description of this. I have to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: listen to this podcast. Not ill talking about Monica a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: punch of brandy before they perform things people don't really
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: be knowing, you know, other than the community. Right, But
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I have to ask, like what is individually. We'll start
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: with you, Josh, since you're new to the show, like
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: what's your relationship with scams? Like have you ever been scam?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Do you like them? Do you hate them? It could
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: literally be anything.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by them, like I feel like a lot
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: of times, well recently there's been all these like scam
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: documentaries that have come out, Like I just watched the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Lula rich one.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, that was tasty. I'm actually probably gonna be
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in one of those what what not that one? But
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'll be doing documentaries I wast Oh no, I do not.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The child the pumpkin spice leg has had a hole
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on the commune're.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Not even cute and I was liked.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Not a damned Josh. We're gonna get into that skout
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: on a different episode. But I do have to ask you,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what was your Have you finished that documentary?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, what was your favorite part?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I think when I mean it's it's it's weird to
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: say it's my favorite part because I felt like it
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: ruins some people's lives. But like when they put all
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of the leggings outside and they started growing mold and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: all the the little workers were like, excuse me, why
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: do these leggings smell? And the bosses were like, I
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. They don't smell. They're fine.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was why, Yes they do smell. Y'all got
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to drop down comment section talking about stank ass legs.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You guys, if this happened is so often that you
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: were like, let's just put a drop down because you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: can't every time they type in it's happening a little
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: too often. I think that means it's Google. Oh man,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that whole thing killed me. I think my favorite part
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: was the black woman. Without spoiling any of it for
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you guys, if there's very few black people involved in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: this scam, but the ones that are. One of the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: black women spoke up and it was so funny because
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the part of the scam is like they rewarded you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: with like these cruises, and she said, you know, I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: had some respectfully decline because I'm not getting on no
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: boat in the middle of the ocean with a bunch
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of white people. I said, I know, that's the.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Only time anyone in that documentary made sense.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, sins, I know that's right, and look,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that's that's no shade to the white community and our listeners.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But have you ever seen a TV show or a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: documentary or a true crime series where there was one
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: black person at the party. They always died, They always died.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's bad, It's always bad. I wouldn't take that risk either,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: sistery Okay, Tracy, what's your relationship with scams? Welcome back
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to the show. Good tak, thank you, thank you, thank you,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: get to be here. I love a scam as long
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: as I'm not the one being scammed. One of my
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: favorite shows is American Greed. I will marathon that the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: way that people marathon like friends or whatever they do.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite things in the world right now
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is the relationship scam episodes of Doctor Phil.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Oh Lord.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Phil is a scammer himself, absolutely ap top scammer, top scammer.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But there's this one woman she's like, I don't know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: sixty four sixty five years old, thinking that she is
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: engaged to the rapper post Malone, and I'm like, Sis,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Siam or something. She I can't remember, probably met them
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: on like Facebook or just like a random email or something,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: or some one of the swipes tender who knows, right,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But if there's a rapper that I think that as
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a sixty five year old I could pull it. Definitely
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is you know, it's like Jack Marlowe. I'm like, yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but post Malone. I don't know how
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: old is post Malone. He's either twenty three or sixty seven,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: so looks on the sixty seven side. Absolutely, I feel
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: like he's very gettable. I believe I would be like, yeah,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: this makes sense. Postmon was like congratulation, and I was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like yeah. I was just like, well, Granny, if he

• 7:48
  Speaker 1: appreciate you putting a bolo out on the scam. Still,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it's sweet. It's sweet. So during the pandemic, my parents
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: started losing their minds with boredom, as did everyone else
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in January twenty twenty one after being locked inside their house.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: You don't got to give us all the like everybody
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: loves to look. I know, there's something very shameful. There's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a stigma that we've attached to COVID in the latent stages,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: where it's like, if you getting COVID, now we know
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you was out here sucking booty holes at the afternoon
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: because everybody else was inside, shame on you. Like that's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: how like Like anybody who I know has gotten COVID,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: except for very close friends who feel comfortable being honest
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: with me, they'll be like, I don't know how I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: got it. Like all y'all don't know. All I go
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to is the grocery store and the mask and then
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes I literally touch physical grass and then I go home.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much wrong to snuck in my throat.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, it's fine.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: You went.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You went to an indoor gathering with four friends you trusted,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and you know one of them had you know, Miss
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Delta was in the building doing her probate, hitting her steps.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: White people are out here comfing on folks, though I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: am just saying that is true, that doing it, which
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: if you can catch them, that's a crime, y'all. Okay, right,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Like it used to just be a rude thing that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: happened on like flavor of love. But now if you've
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: split off people like court Pumpkin and I'm gonna show
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: up at a neck brace slipping three three of them,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get all the money you got, Okay, forget
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a slip and fall call on me. So I'm gonna
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: take you straight to the bank. No, but yeah, that's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: like you know, everybody's making their qualifiers, and I get it,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: like two years in the house, like we're human beings,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like going on out there and get you a little
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: rental or whatever. Child. We're not judging. Okay, I prefer
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you be vaccinated, but you know, other than that, So
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you know, the parents were getting uh stirred crazy, says
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the readam. So she says, normally my parents are strictly
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: hotel people, but in this instance they wanted a change
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of scenery to spice it up a little bit. You
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: are all up in your parents' business talking about get up. Hey,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that gives me hope. I don't know what's time I'm
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: out twa, you are a little too involved in your parents'
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: business and boss fight tones you're gonna tell me, you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: know what kind of loube they like, like, get out
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to your parents business. So this was before the vaccines
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: were readily available, so they knew they'd have to do
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a two week quarantine. When they got to La, they
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: opted for an Airbnb. Okay, cool, and this is different
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: than their regular cool parents' lifestyle. Okay, you really all
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: in your parents. I can't even say nothing because I'd
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: be in my parents' business too, So it's fine. So,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: upon booking a nice spot, the hotel reached out to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: my mom suggesting an alternative payment plan or the host
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm sure she saw my mom's nice long
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: term booking and saw an opportunity to pocket a large
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: lump sum. She said that she hates booking through Airbnb
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: because they charged so many fees to the renter and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: take a percentage from the host. Now she's not wrong
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: about that, and I'll talk with Airbnb, and y'all know
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that about this podcast. I'll spend the rest of my
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: life slander and Airbnb wherever I can, whenever I can.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I chose this litter on purpose because fuck them what.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I have talked about it in our previous episode, But
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: they just did some shady shit where like they basically
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: believed the super racist guy who lied about my rental.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: They kicked me off the app when I had a
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: rental for my birthday and I had to like scam
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and like do it through somebody else. But like I
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: talked about them on Twitter, and every time I talk
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: about them on Twitter, they hopping into the comments about
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: hit our DMS. No, bitch, I'm not coming to your DMS.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We talked about this shit before y'all act this way. Fine,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you chose my violence on this day, you chose it
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: for me. It's always violence whatever BnB. So this host
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: is like, I'm trying to help y'all out, and I'm
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: trying to help myself outs. Cute enough, so she suggested
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that she and my mom booked the stay off site,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: where she would accept a Venmo payment for the price
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of the booking minus the fees, and take the dates
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: down on Airbnb to lock it in. My mom agreed
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and vendo with her half of the money as a deposit.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: This was a two month stay at nice Home in La,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: So even half of the money was like, you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a few thousand dollars. So, two weeks before my parents
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: were set to go out to La, the host email
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: my mom saying that she found a long term renner
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to lease the home too, and that my parents stay
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: would be canceled. She would Vendbo the money back in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the full amount that my mom had already paid. Of course,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that never happened. My mom knew exactly what was happening.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, and immediately kicked into high gear. She started
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: emailing the woman incessantly. I know that's right. She put
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: on somewhere B and B manager. She flipped them short
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: bangs to the side, and she said what she won't do, bitch.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: She threw a little v dal SATs soon on it first,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm not mad at that. For dow sas Soon
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: she hated with a little bit. Just make sure to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: stay straight. You know it's gonna be sweating a little
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: bit because she's mad on the banangyang. Yes, oh oh
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that was beautiful, y'all. Could science see black people go?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: That was josh right out.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So when we found the woman on Instagram and tried
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to contact her there, we saw that she's an actress
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in LA and was living her best life in COVID,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: bopping around and running errands. My sister and I all
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: DMed her to no response. Who is this actress you
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: know here scamming and then just living life and just
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: spreading COVID as well?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Can you call Vemo? Can Vemo help us in the situation?
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So I researched this, and what I found was is
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that if someone wrongfully sends you money, of course you
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: can just send it back. But if you send somebody
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: money and this is scam, all you can do is
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: request on Venmo and then live on a prayer.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's like they're gonna be like, oh damn, they
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: didn't send me a Venmo request over. It's just a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: vehicle for your money. Okay, It's like the bus for
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: your money. The bus don't turn around. I please don't
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: stop if you leave something on the bus. You got
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to meet us at dejunction, bitch, Like, what are we
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: suposed to do? We gotta get to the next stop.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Wrong with help somebody out.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: They said they're not gonna do it. They can't get
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: their hands dirty any dirtier than they already are okay,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: scarce ad So of course the kicker of it all
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: is that since they did the transaction off site, Airbnb
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: has no actual jurisdiction or power to help get the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: money back like they would want to. They were like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: our boins aren't involved in this, Like that's why we said,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: let us take a fee. I don't even want to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: take the fee, so now you got to take the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: l don't know what you want now, look at you, bitch,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You stay on Airbnb. So of course they don't get
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the money back. My mom was left completely in the lurch.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: All the while we see this woman actively posting her
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: la life on Instagram, mocking us with her lack of response.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: My mom really lost her shit with a scam and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it's still a sore subject. So I figured, I have
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you put this woman on blast? I mean, you ain't
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: give me her handles, so we can't. I mean, we
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do that anyway. I just want to look for
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: myself and see how good her life is, Like how
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: much scamming is she doing on your baby? Right? And
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like, obviously the only answer is you got
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: to pull up on it, right?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: What else?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: What else is there to do. And I was in
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a situation where I leased rented a house out for
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: my friends and family and they were like, well, if
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: we do it off this app. And I don't think
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: it was airband because I touch you, I'll fuck with them,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: but it was some other like home rental situation and
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: they're like, well, if we hop off the apps, thats
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: like we can get it cute. And I was like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the only way we hopping off this app is if
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I know exactly where you live. I visited the house
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: several times before I send any money. I was like,
• 15:37

  Speaker 1: half basically saying like, well if I don't get this
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: half back, like it's you're saying, I trust you. You're
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: not supposed to do that to anybody, No trust no bitch.

• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Oh. The TikTok girls now listen.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: On them and they know it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And now that I was like, let's just get a TikTok,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's open platform. We could just scroll
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and figure out a lot of these crimes. Like right,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Like the fans, I'm sure nothing has been better for
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the fest and social media. They said, bitch, we don't
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: even got to do nothing no more. It's he didn
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: did a robbery. Look, he got a picture with the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: money up to his hand in the let's and his
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: location is on right now, God, y'all go home, go home.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I got this one, yeah, right right. I've been trying
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to think of the name of the rental company that
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: you're probably referencing, because I had to run in with
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: them too once upon a time. Assima that this is
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the same people. I can't think of their name. I'm
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: gonna think of it. Airbnb, No, no, no, no, no, no. He
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: was like, I booked a place that was not Airbnb,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: because you don't fell with Airbnb, but it was some
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: other place and you can't think of the name of
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the website. Well I don't. They did have a website,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: but it was like a concierge. I ain't trying to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: put all my business out there, but with concierge of homes.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And it was like a few women that I was
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: working with, and then they had all times. Yeah, so
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: it felt a little safer. Also was like I know
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: where these women are at, Like I made it very
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: clear that I'm paying and small I do before everything.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I go to the doctor's appointment as a black woman, like, hey,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: just let you know. I'm litigious, So if you think
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: about the rest to me, just let me know right now,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: because you really don't want me on your ass, Like
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: if you won't give me a test, I will make
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you sign and say that you didn't and why so
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that when I need to get my files together and
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: call my gatto, let's just put this whole doctor's appointment
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: on live. Let's just do that. Yeah, yeah, just point
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the camera away from my koochie wasting above. But it's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be an educational moment for everyone on Instagram. How
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: about that? No, but guys, like, if you're gonna try, look,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I love to save a coin and fuck Airbnb. So
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: if you can't get your little side situation going on,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad. But the biggest things on those apps
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: are one, you need to read the reviews. Two, if
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it's a property that's new and it has no reviews,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: never book it because it's probably just some photos that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: somebody found online. You can take photos to Google images,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: see where the address is at, see if they lie
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: in you know what I mean, Like do your due
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: diligence when it comes to that kind of stuff, because
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: there's so many scammers on those websites.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's like good advice for anything that
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: you're doing online, whether you're buying, you know, leggings that
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: have been left out in the listen to the to
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the review, see what other people.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That some moldy stolen patterned legging. But also guys, if
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you're even just like looking for a roommate, you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: sometimes you have to get on mister shady ass Craigs
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and look at his list, or you know, you have
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to get on a roommate Finder app or whatever, like
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: if it's a situation where they have the place and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: they're subletting it, you need to have bills in their name.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: You need to have stuff that if you need to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: pull up you can, because that happened to me when
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I moved to la Luckily, I had a friend from
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: college here who let me crash for a night and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: then I figured out another living situation. But I pulled
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: up to the airport to Lax and was like, thinking,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I'm about to go, you know, get my keys and
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: go to this house. And she was like, okay, so
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: actually the other person isn't moving out yet. Turns out
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: it was a one bedroom, it was not a two bedroom.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: She was called the living room, the bedroom that's not
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: as not wear a bass go and she the other
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: person was still staying there. So I was like, where
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: am I supposed to? And I was like, run me
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: my money back, and she did because I had her address. Okay,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: so she didn't run it back. I was gonna run
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I know, that's right.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: So you gotta have that kind of leverage over people
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: when you're doing this kind of stuff, you know, not
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: just the address, get bills in their name too, Like
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: get everything that the bank would get from you, get
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: everything that an apartment would get for you, ruminates. The
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: idea roommates is too scary to me because I watched
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: way too much t your crime. So I just girl,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you're here to kill me. You know one time I
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: thought my roommate, her mom and her brother was gonna
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: dig a me size hole in the backyard. Child had
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to get out of that situation. Why did you do that?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It just got a little wild. No shit went left
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: real quick.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: It's my fave and some signs and it's time for
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: my favorite segment of the show. Historically, Wings, this is
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: why we were Gale, Josh and Tracy were a famous
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: concaper group of criminals. Maybe we fuck with them, maybe
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: we don't. We don't know yet. We'll just get their
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: opinions all throughout. So today, guys, we're talking about nineteen
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: year old Colton Harris Moore, who led police on a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: two year long chase as he stole plane after plane,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and he committed most of his crimes barefoot. I remember this, man,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I remember. I remember when you started. I was like, oh,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: this is the barefoot boy. Yes, it is so Colton
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Harris Moore born March twenty second, nineteen ninety one. What
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: does that make him Aquarius? What's that I'm wrong?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Don't make me lie.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Right the whole black folks, don't get me the line.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Somebody threw me his zodiac sign. But he had a
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: pretty rough upbringing. I'm not going to get into all
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of it because it can get a little triggering, and
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: we try to keep it light over here. But let's
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: just say, you know, he grew up in a dilapidated
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: trailer with his mother. There was abuse, there was drugs.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: You know, he had a rough upbringing. So despite everything
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: that was going on at home, Colton's classmates and teachers
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: described him as a very sweet, intelligent boy with an
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: avid interest in airplanes. By two thousand and six, Colton
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: was fifteen and for years had been breaking into home,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: stealing food and valuables, and evading police by camping in
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the woods. Fun fact, he would occasionally perpetrate these crimes
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: with his friend, Harley Davidson iron Wing. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Jimmy.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Pause.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: What what is this child's name? Harley middle named Davidson,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: last name iron Wing?
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Wow, I Honestly, if your parents name you Harley Davison,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: deserve to steal like I don't know what they were
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: on something, clearly one at least, so you know you're
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: gonna hit the crime a little bit, Harley Davidson. If
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: my name was Harley Davison, I would feel so much
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: pressure to be the coolest motherfucker on the planet. I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: would just like, Yeah, I feel like at least got
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to ride a motorcycle at the very least. But I'm
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be like, I'm Harley Davison. I like stamps. You
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: know you can't when your name is Harley Davidson. You
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: gotta a one knife on you at all times at
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: least or look like maybe I got a knife at
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: my wig. Maybe, Right, we gotta get you a leather
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: jacket of some sort, even if it's hot, right, and
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: always swim in that jacket, the sweaty ass, Harley again,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I know it's eighty degrees Harley, Damn, he's gonna take
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: it off. So cops went to arrest him. This is
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Colton at his mother's house, but only found a note
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that said cops want to play huh, Well, it's not
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: a little game. It's war. Tell them that what how
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: old is this child? Again? I mean at this time
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: he was fifteen, But I'm like, what is this No?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: And I also loved that. I basically read it like
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I was an LA game. Copsuse film it's war till
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the men like forty as child. So A forties eventually
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: caught up to Colton and arrested him in two thousand
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and seven after he broke into his neighbor's home. Now,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: why are you bringing it into them? You can't bring
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: into the neighborhood, like, hey, you won't wear your neighbors
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: drip they go check their mail, go see, like, isn't
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that my sweater? Gertrude?
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: What rob a little.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Further, a little further from home than that? Okay, I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: can't break into somebody's house. And they crossed the street
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Like I just that's too hot. You're making it high.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: So he faced twenty three felony charges for burglaries and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: possession of stolen property and was sentenced to three years
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: in juvenile detention. His sentence didn't last long, though. One
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: year later, in April two thousand and eight, he crawled
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: out of the window of his group home and escaped,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: making the beginning of what would become an infamous two
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: year long crime spree of the Barefoot Bandit should it
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: be that easy to escape from a juvenile group home.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I mean they got lots of keys in there, you
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I'm sure the resources are limited
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and you know, window locks probably not in a budget. Okay,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: The media loves itself a caper that has alliteration, right, bare.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Right. Love to sensationalize. That's why people do this kind
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Y'all make it I'm famous or so. He
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: never wears shoes again so he could get recognized. Yeah,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that's me. His wooki feet is popping. Okay. I love
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to get photos of the Barefoot banded. Okay. So after
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: his escape, Colton went on a one man crime spree
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: that blew all of his previous exploits out the water.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: He was first dubbed the Barefoot Bandit went after his
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: third time robbing Orchest home Grown Market on Orchest Island.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: He left thirty nine large chalk footprints around the store
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: and outside the door with a note that said see ya.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Oh so no way, he's like.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: The accident, right, he went out and got a logo.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Oh he's he's serious about band branding. He said, brand right,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: he said, I'm banksy, but Cobo beart and that smart
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: thought because he was gonna give y'all his real footprint,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: like he said, trying to run that, trying to run
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: that at the downtown. Okay, y'all gonna come up with nothing. So,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: while staying on Orchest Island, Colton took advantage of another business,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a restaurant called Verns. Not Verns. He first broke into Burns.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Verns is, but it just sounds
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: very Mick neighborhood. Yeah right, So he first broke into
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Burns to steal a credit card to order flight instruction manuals,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: which he had shipped to the restaurant. Several days later,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: he broke in to retrieve the manuals and steal fifteen
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars in summer profits from the safe Colton happened
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: down right, Who who name you put on the packages? Ess?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Address it to Badford bandit?
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I mean BB, yeah, BB yeah put on it? Yeah?
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Also, I love that he was trying to
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: get higher learning, like you know what I mean? That
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: sounds like a scholarship to me. From Amex universe, Like.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Do you know the amount of confidence that you need
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: in order to trust yourself to learn to fly? By
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: reading Flying for Dummies?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: That is an amazing point.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: But he was like, I can read a book. I'll
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: be fine.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Man, gotta be something in there. Take the book with
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you to play.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: It's an open book test, Like what's on page eight?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Alright, we got a written driver's test. I had to
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: pass a written driver's test. And you have to drive
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: too as well. Actually didn't. Whoa that sounds unsafe to
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Texas baby. You know our laws are flimsy. That's what
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: we're known for. Constitutional that's a vibe. It's not constitutional
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: enough for me. No constitution just vibes. Listen, we got
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: that lady who holds the little justice things out there.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Now she leaning in a particular direction. It looks like
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: she's like gathering a pail of water. She's fully bent over,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: but she's still there, you know what I mean. So
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Techlia some just as going on. So he goes in there,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: he gets his manuals and he also steals fifteen k
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: damn vern. He gonna steal all the Urns's haul for
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the summer. That ain't right, And if you're on an island,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: you know islands, get that like vacation tourist, like this
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: is when they get the bag. Yeah, that's a seasonal coin.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: That ain't right. So in the fall of two thousand
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: and eight, despite never having been in a cockpit before,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: he stole his first plane, a single engine aircraft, from
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: a hangar on Orchest Island belonging to a Seattle radio personality,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Bob Rivers sung and stole Bob's plane. So also, I
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: have to point out that he's doing this in Seattle.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Isn't it like hella overcast in Seattle a lot? Yes, yes,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: this is like not the best place to like learn
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: how to fly on this, to practice flying like it's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Hella clouds, like this is not the best. So his
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: flight took him over the cascade of Mountain Range, through
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: gusty winds and a total white out duck because he
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: were just talking about the weather. Miraculously, he flew two
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: hunred and fifty miles from Workers Island to a fieldhouse
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: in Yakima, Washington, where he crashed, landed and walked away.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: What oh my god?
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: What.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: After leaving the plane in the field, Colton hopped on
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: a freight train to Reno, where he lied about his
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: age still only being seventeen, and worked at a casino
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: for six months.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: So what.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: This sounds so fake? All that sounds completely made up? Coltson,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're just trying to get a movie,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: because right he crashed a plane, got out, dusted himself off.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: He was like shit, He's like, there's a train, let
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: me go get what And now he's working in the casino.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: So y'all just saw a barefoot man show up.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I hope he had wigs, right, there's a situation.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: The biggest y'all had was, oh, so are you a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: legal age? Not that he's barefoot and it smells like
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: train and cinders from a plane crash. Okay, shirt out,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: burnt up holes everywhere, and y'all was just like, here's
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: a vest, right, so just put the vest over the
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: burnt stuff. Do you know how to deal? Three card monthy?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe they really needed some employees because I'm like bruh.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: So by this time, his story had gone viral on
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the Internet and Facebook groups and websites, with thousands of
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: fans popping up T shirts with the slogan fly Cold
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Fly and mama tried went viral? What is mama tried?
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: So colts Well, I guess it, said Colton's own mother
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: maintained her support, saying I hope the hell he stole
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: those airplanes. I would be so proud, but put in
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: there that I want him to wear a parachute next.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Time, not shoes choices.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Look, that's good parentage. If I maybe out here achieving
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: his dreams flying these planes, I just want to make
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: sure you'll parachute also when you need to jump out
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that bitch, because clearly he has a mastered landing, right.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I just feel like that's one of the fundamentals cults,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: and I feel like it can't be like, oh, we're
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: good for takeoff. I figured out when I get there,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: like landing is also, Some would argue, like the most important, okay, Colton,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: fine by right. So, after leaving Orchestyland, Colton hopped the
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: border to Canada, stole two guns, and hopped back without
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: being noticed. Fake, which is wild. I'm like, are right
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: there and they don't check. They don't care that you
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: got shoes on. They really don't care about that. No shirt,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: no shoes, All right, fine, there's no problem.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: That ain't a problem.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: A problem? Why the hair to Walley World? So I'm like, okay. So,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: after scouting a small airplane hangar and airfield, he ended
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: up in Idaho, where he stole his third plane, for
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: which he again crash landed in a field and Granite Falls, Washington.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: This time police came in time to close in on
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the plane, but they were met by gunfire and again
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: lost Colton. What Wow, they're so bad at being police.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: That just seems like it shouldn't have gone down that way.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I wonder if he played Grand Theft Auto. This just
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: sounds like he's giving his best Grand Theft Auto fantasy
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Grand Theft Auto Pilot. Yeah, it's a good one. It
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: was Coco was the landing shit Okay. So he laidblow
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: for some time until he caught his biggest prize yet
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: in February twenty ten during the Olympics, a six hundred
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars. Serious, that's a plane. He was
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: aloft for just ten minutes before again crash landing at
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Orchest Airport, though this time the plane suffered minimal damage.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Fun fact, the owner said the damage due to fingerprint
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: dusting was more expensive to fit and the plane is
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: still flying today. So he was like, really, the police
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: fucked my shut up.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: This little boy reading it must be real good.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: It must be real good.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Flying shit.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: And he's getting better at the crashes, right, he's getting
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: better at the crashes. This one just like a few scratches.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. This just sounds o fake. I had to
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: take one of those flight simulator classes like Option two
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: thousand and high school. I never ever, ever, ever, ever
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: ever got close to landing ever, and there was somebody
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: over my shoulder being like, move this, pull this up.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: It's impossible. And he's just out here just with no shoes,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: hot wiring planes land a plane. To be fair, he
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: ain't never landed either, like that.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: That's very true, to be quite fair, you know, so
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: you might not have been that off. You might do this, Tracy,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: think about it. I appreciate that vote of confidence. Like
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think people are really locking their airplane hangers
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: up like that anyway. Like you just don't expect people
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to come still your plane, you know, not on a
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Tuesday especially. But this is also a white man, so
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he could walk most places even without shoes
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: and they're like, I don't know that shoeless fellow. He
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: owns a plane makes sense to me. So despite this,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: he continued to escape close calls and would disappear despite
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: beings surrounded on all sides. So somehow he's still getting
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: out of here. Koleioho if didn't even do this from
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: setting off, how is he doing? They haven't riddled this
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: young man with bullets yet, which I'm happy about. This
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: is how policing should be. You got right, you know,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: cops and robbers, you got to catch them. You shouldn't
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: just be able to shoot them. Like, that's not fair.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: If he was blad Joe, I feel like a shorter story, yeah,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: very short, Like he wouldn't have made it pass walking
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: in the door the airplane hangar before the police were
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: there on suspicious they'd have seen him ordering a book,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: trying to learn how to fight, trying to learn.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: How to fly.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Right, that's it, just in case you had to read
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: so many questions. So he's on the run more urgently
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: at this point than before, because now you know he's
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: damaging like some big money shiit. As Colton started to
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: leave Orchis Island, he took the time to leave a
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: note and one hundred dollars in cash at a veterinary clinic.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: The following day, a four hundred fifty thousand dollars fishing
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: boat was reported missing from a nearby town. Eventually, Colton
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: ended up in Bloomington, Indiana, where he stole his fifth
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and final plane. Now my question is, like we talked
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: about the first one, you stole the third one, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the fifth, the fourth and the second ain't in here.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a minute, where those just like
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: not exciting enough. I don't underst I have to say,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I have questions. So here's the note that he left
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: at the vat. It says, drove by had some extra cash.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Please use this money for the care of animals. Colton
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Harris More aka the Barefoot Bandit. And then he put
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Komano Islands, Washington. So also you can know where he's
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: at currently.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Aka aka the Barefoot Bandit aka the plane pitcher, like
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: the playing poacher.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Well, at least he likes animals. He's a nice guy.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: You guys, AKA FAA fraud. Are you a rapper? What's
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: going on? We got Coulton, We got Colton on the runway. Okay,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: so I guess and also he's trying to flex, being like, hey,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I had a little hundred dollars, you know, I don't know,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: give this to Sarah McLachlan's see what she could do
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: What money? Your money? Like me?
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: He didn't have a plane. I mean, he didn't have
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: a pet. He was just like, I don't know, there's
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: something for the girls. Just to let y'all know. I
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: was he I guess so this is his fifth plane
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: that he's stealing now right. Colton's final flight took him
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: twelve hundred miles away from Indiana to Abaco Island in
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the Bahamas. While news outlets such as forty eight Hours
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and the Royal Bahamian Police were hot on his trail,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Colton managed to go inland and steal a yacht to
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: escape to a nearby island of Elesra. For a week,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: he was able to evade capture in the Bahamas. Wow,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: this man, you're talking about planes, trains and automobiles.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Okay a boat? Is there a vehicle that he has
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: not stolen yet?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Also, this white boy was able to hide in the Bahamas?
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: How under many was he? Like a resort?
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: How you did that? Maybe maybe he put on a
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: lay or something, you know, gave him those tourists, you know,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: maybe he went and got his hair braided by this.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: He let him put some beads in it and some soil,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and they were like, I don't know, everyone who's white
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: is barefoot here.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was place for him checks out.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: So I can't believe he got to the Bahamas and
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: he's flying over water. Mind you, this is the guy
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: who does not know how to land. No, this is
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: just so fake. I just it's just as ridiculous. So
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: he made a mistake. When he was chatting with some
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: teenagers on shore, he was discovered to be the famed
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Barefoot bandit with a ten thousand dollars bounty, So the
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: teenagers gave Chase okay, So they decided to follow him
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: and his stolen boat to nearby Harbor Island. From there,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: he stole another boat and made off into the open ocean,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: gun wielding police in a comedy cht wow with two
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: news He had news crews behind him and the police.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Eventually he ran out around a sandbar and before he
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: could get the boat going again, police shot out the engine,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: cornering Colton for the last time. Finally, in July twenty ten,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: after a two year crimes free stealing eleven boats, fourteen cars,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: three guns, and five planes and breaking into countless buildings,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Colton Harris Moore was arrested. I just feel like he
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: should work in like all types of security, Like does
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Colton work for eighty t now? Because Colton knows how
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: to steal it. You know, it could be a sweater,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: it could be a gun in Canada, it could be
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: eleven boats. You know, if it's stealable, I got you found.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I Actually we should be using his skills for the
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: better good, the greater good. This man knows how to
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: steal everything. It's sounds like he needs to teach the
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: police how he did what he did so that they
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: can be better at their jobs because they suck. Yeah,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't need to empower them. I mean
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: that is, if you're a boat owner, you know I
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: want you to be able to keep your boat at
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: the dock. That Colton could really help y'all out with
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: that because he knows. Okay, So the aftermath and today,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Colton pleaded guilty to seven felony charges, including stealing airplanes,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: breaking into a bank, and possessing an illegal firearm and
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: was sentenced to seven years in prison. At the time
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: of the sentencing.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I guess technically when he stole stuff, he
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: did kind of run it back.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Hell, it was fine, right, It was two hundred fifty
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: miles away from where he got it, and you know.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: It's some pieces missing exactly.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like a little wing or whatever missing,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: But it's another way. It's fine, right, you could find
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: a part for that. They got wings out here. So
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: at the time of his sentencing, he owed one point
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: four million dollars to his victims. He was released early
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: in twenties sixteen and began working part time for his
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: lawyer's law firm. Colton has since attempted to run a
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: GoFundMe campaign for funds to cryogenically preserve his mother, who
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: was ill with cancer, and one to fund flight school.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: The latter was shut down due to his still owing
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: retribution to victims, so the fight school one was shut down.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: He now attempts to work as an entrepreneur and motivational speaker.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: He wanted to freeze his mom. Did we did I hear? Yeah,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: we kind of we just kind of rushed over we did.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't say his late mothers, so she might
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: have still been up when they was going to do
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: the freezing. Oh okay, all right, maybe they was just
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: gonna it was going nuker a little bit, just like
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: put in a put in a cryogenic. Do you need
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: to go fund me for that? It sounds expensive. I
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: don't know. You can get cryo done up the street.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Oh you're right, you're right, Yeah, you get five of
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: them things. Well, hold it up, I mean. But also
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: like I feel like he should go to fight school.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: The boy loves flying. He clearly has no fear of it.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I just think sometimes like this guy had a really
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: rough childhood. You know, he didn't have resources and options,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: but clearly he had talent, raw talent, dumb child. Like
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: we're letting this waste away in the penal system, Like,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: you know, let the boy go to flight school. And
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: he didn't hurt anybody, right, no, just just some property.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: He even gave money to the animals. Come on, now,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: he did. I hope he wrote that off. It's one
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: point three nine nine nine one hundred, okay, because I
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: gave a hundred to the pets now, and I left
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: a note it's evidence. I proved it. You know it
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: was me. I signed it the Barefoot Bandit's me giving
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: back to the community. I don't like what are we
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: talking about. It's time for Scammer of the Week. This
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: is where we highlight one honorary charlatan who's worthy of
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: our praise. Maybe maybe not, but this is gonna harken
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: back to what we were talking about earlier, Tracy, when
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: you talked about post Malone and his new elderly bay So.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Maria Grett, a sixty two year old Swedish artist, was
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: not expecting to be catfished when she first sent money
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: overseas to her fifty eight year old Danish boyfriend. Maria
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: met Johnny when her friends teased her into creating a
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: dating profile. So okay, so Johnny is clearly black and
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: also Danish. Are there black dates? I mean, with how
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the military setup, we gotta be over there a little bit,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, just a taste right like you know
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: it is it is. And look at her cuddled up
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: to him. You know they must have been he might
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: have had some things thanging so inappropriate. So I'm just
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: saying the way she hugged up next to him, like
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: he must have been doing something right and couldn't have
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: all been a scam. So they began chatting and he
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: eventually started calling her from a UK phone number. Maria said,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I wanted to meet him because I liked him. He
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: had a way and a sweetness I had never known
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: in a man before, and he was just innocent in
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: a way that puzzled me. Ah, men, innocent two words,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: never been together, never needed to be together. Imagine that's
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: what she should have done. It was a scam, right,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: might innocent?
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: He do nothing?
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: He knew nothing? That was like a red flag. That's
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: when you guys started looking for flags, right exactly, Like look,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I always say one for red flag, go, But if
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: it's like light rose pink, you know, maybe we could
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: we could see what's going on. Nobody's perfect. Hear him out,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: to sear him out. So after chatting with him for
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: three months, Johnny agreed to meet Maria in Sweden, but
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: first he and his son had to stop in Nigeria
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: for a job interview. Okay, you know how, you just
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: don't know how? You have to like, you know, on
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the way to another country, you are to stop in
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: another country and just wal quickly. Yeah, you know, we're
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: gonna do a phone interview. No, no, we'll just we'll
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: just go okay, got it. So the next call Maria
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: received was from Johnny saying his son had been Oh no,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: oh lord, oh no, what is this that? This is
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: not funny. The next day, Maria received a phone call
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: from Johnny saying that his son had been shot in
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: the head during the mugging and they were at the
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: hospital without money or papers. Oh my gosh, that's intense.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: So Maria immediately sent money, but soon after medical complications
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: and quotes developed, and she was told the doctors demanded
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: more money. So y'all know how hospitals work, right, Like
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: you go in and they're like, okay, he's in critical condition. Well, okay,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: we got to put an iv in him. Y'all got
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: thirty eight dollars for the ivy. We're not gonna before
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: I put the needle in the in the bag, because
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: then it's ruined. You only got a few hours after
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: you put the needle in. Do y'all have thirty eight dollars?
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: And can I have it right now?
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: I need to see it. Okay, is this in your rows? Okay?
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Because I ain't got time to go to Curtsey. All right,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get hibout the ambulance now. All right, we
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: got a stretcher. There is a fee or do y'all
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: want to carry him?
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Can we put it away? Right?
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Can we put on Klarna?
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: No?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: But you need to sign up now before we get
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: this treatment prop No, Hey, don't say clear yet? Were
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: not clear? He's not gonna last much longer. Man, what
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: do you want to do? What do you want to
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: do before we get to reviving? Okay, you gotta get
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: on a payment plan, you know, like what? And also
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: doctors demanding, but that's not who demands the money.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: But the thing I think that it's interesting is that
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: these people actually met. There's photographic evidence of the meeting.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Like I feel like when I hear these scams, it's like, oh,
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: I've never met this person a day in my life,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: but like they they knew each other.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Took a point. Do we know for sure that that's
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: herbuo in the picture? I believe so? Hmmm. That is
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: very But I do think that I've seen a few
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: cases where the people had met a few times before.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: I think it definitely adds legitimacy. To the scam, because
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: now it's not like you're I have a name and
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: a face and you know they're sitting on the same
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: side of the booths, robbed on her thigh a little
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: bit or whatnot. You know, so some then going down,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: So several thousand euros after Maria realized something was a miss. Now, girl,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like several thousand is too long away. Maria
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: to be like, wait a minute, flats like we're a
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: little too far away, so she stopped responding to Johnny's messages.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Three weeks later, Johnny called Maria and confessed that he
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: was a twenty four year old Nigerian internet scammer who
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: had finished university but still had no job. Johnny and
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Maria continue to chat, and the romantic feelings developed into
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: a friendship. Maria flew herself out to Nigeria to finally
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: meet Johnny. She said, when I saw him at the
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: airport in Abuja, fell over his face and I knew
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I had known him my whole life.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Wow. Wait, that picture is from after the scam.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: That's after she got round.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Happy to have just been robbed of several thousand dollars
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: see Subtimes scams aren't that bad. She had a good
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: time down Whoo, she said, and there's seven thousand dollars.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Later again, I realized Maria had met Johnny's friends, many
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: of whom were also scammers, and started thinking about how
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: she could help. Since then, she's arranged for a number
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: of African artists to visit Europe for arts exhibitions, workshops, conferences,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: and competitions. Maria has also assisted them to source international
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: grants and other funding to advance their work. Now, was
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: there work in the art of scams or they were like, yeah,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I rob people, but I'm also an egg sculptors or
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I scam people. Is going well, but I really just
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: want to get out the game right right, I just
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: want to make play figurines in between bank robberies.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: This is something we could do with.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I'm saving up for a kiln. I got to hit
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: four more licks and I'm gonna have enough money for
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: a kiln in my own home. She went full ghosts.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: She's like, let me get behind you on that kiln.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: This took time. After meeting him in Nigeria, and Maria
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: also helped Johnny move to America, where she offered him
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: financial assistance to complete his degree.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Wow, did she ever get her money back?
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: No? I don't know how this story ends. But no,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I if she's providing with financial assistance to the scammers,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think that. That's like, Oh, they paid you
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: back and then now you're paying them again. Right, You're like, wow,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I love how this ended. This was such a choice.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: She was like, oh, no, these are my friends now.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: No, they used to rob me, but now they're the homiees.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Now that's cool. I so he is definitely a scammer
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: of the year, Like he rode that mess all the
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: way to America. Some solition talk about coming to America. Okay,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: I mean I guess because he knew when to give
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: up the grift. He was like, hey sis, yeah it's
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: me Johnny. Yeah, I know. I don't have a brother.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: And the hospital actually does not request payment during surgery.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: It was all a lie. But if you want to
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: come to Nigeria and hang out, I'm.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Not doing nothing this friday't beater, right.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I wonder if she did it. So she was like, Okay,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: this story needs a better ending. Then I got stolen
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: from and then I go home and be sad. I know,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I'll continue to give them money, so that way it
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: looks like it was all on purpose and it's all good.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, And not only did she give him money,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: she was helping out the homies. We saw a photo
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: of the classroom where she was like, girls, this show
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: eat prey, love like it. We're gonna eat prey scam.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not mad at it because at
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: least then, like, I guess you're controlling the narrative and
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: maybe friends and you got a new friend in America now,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: like she obviously the money didn't mean that much to her,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: and obviously she had it to give and keep giving.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: I guess we're assuming. I mean, we don't know her situation, but.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I mean it felt like she didn't really care that
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: it was missing, right, She.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Doesn't ever really seem to be too angry about that,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: just like something's amiss.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: So well.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: And then three weeks later, she picks up the phone, Hey, Johnny,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: long time, So is your brother? What they do? Did
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: they have enough to get the bandages? And then now
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: he lives in America. I love this, I think. I mean,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: look a lot of people like we saw with Colts
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: and they come up in bad situations, and you know,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: this is the only way they knew how Maybe Johnny
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: was really just trying to better him his circumstances, And
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: maybe this lady is genuinely happy with the connections that
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: she has. You know, who are me to judge? I say,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: she seems to be I mean she pulled up to Nigeria.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: She flipped her chair backwards. She said, I'm going to
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: educate the youth her own. Yes, it's my time. She
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: brought a bull horn. She was like, no, I'm gonna
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: save these, save the beautiful Nigerian men from a life
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: of crime. I can't be mad at that. I think
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: we like this scam. Do you what do you think
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: I am in favor of the scam.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm not mad at it. The best
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: that a scam could probably go.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: That is a great that the.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Person who gets scammed buys in, right, Did she still
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: scamm Does she buys in at the end? Hmm? No?
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Because I guess because if it's like, if you were
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: to donate to anything, like it's not a scam if
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: you decided to participate, and I know some people will
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, go fund me, But what if I
• 56:23

• 56:25
  Speaker 1: about that, like you'll know where that money goes at
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: the end of the day. You do not know. I've
