- 1:27Speaker 1: with true crime.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Right, what's the best.
- 1:29Speaker 1: That's the best you could get during this Super Bowl
- 1:32Speaker 1: time when everybody's just getting their food together, getting around
- 1:36Speaker 1: the TV to watch some commercials. Now, you got foosball
- 1:41Speaker 1: and murder. That's the best stuff.
- 1:44Speaker 5: I love me some sports ball.
- 1:46Speaker 6: This is the brown sports ball, not the orange sports ball.
- 1:49Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, the brownsports ball.
- 1:52Speaker 1: We got chiefs Aholic, a wolf in Chiefs clothing, a
- 1:56Speaker 1: twenty twenty four film directed by Dylan Cyrs.
- 1:59Speaker 4: This kind of came up on Prime.
- 2:01Speaker 1: It was late last year, so it's kind of on
- 2:03Speaker 1: the cusp of that twenty twenty five stuff we were
- 2:05Speaker 1: doing before this, and we thought it would be fun
- 2:08Speaker 1: to dissect some of these sports documentaries, but not the
- 2:12Speaker 1: typical sports documentary.
- 2:14Speaker 4: We wanted a little extra oomp into in.
- 2:16Speaker 1: This documentary follows a super fan, a Chief super fan.
- 2:21Speaker 1: If you don't know, the Chiefs played for Kansas City.
- 2:24Speaker 1: They're a football team in the NFL. And this is
- 2:27Speaker 1: a super fan that dresses up like a wolf every Sunday.
- 2:30Speaker 1: He's out there and I will say spoiler alert, like
- 2:34Speaker 1: I'm a Raider fan. I like football, I don't like
- 2:37Speaker 1: this team. So let's see where we get into that
- 2:48Speaker 1: plotting the course. So again, this film follows a Chief
- 2:54Speaker 1: super fan, like you're talking about a guy like now,
- 2:57Speaker 1: just to kind of get people into perspective, some of
- 3:02Speaker 1: these tickets that you buy for these games are extronomically expensive.
- 3:09Speaker 4: These these can go from three hundred apiece, So.
- 3:12Speaker 1: When you're going to a playoff game, you're talking five grand,
- 3:14Speaker 1: six grand. I mean, you can go through the list
- 3:17Speaker 1: of super Bowl as it goes from the first super
- 3:18Speaker 1: Bowl the ticket was like five bucks, and now the
- 3:21Speaker 1: Median super Bowl ticket is like sixty five hundred to
- 3:24Speaker 1: eighty five hundred dollars, so it could get pretty pricey.
- 3:28Speaker 1: So right away watching this film, when you're like Dan,
- 3:30Speaker 1: this guy goes to a lot of games.
- 3:32Speaker 4: He must have a lot of money.
- 3:35Speaker 6: Also, I just need a in like a meta way
- 3:37Speaker 6: aside from the documentary, but the mentality of a super fan.
- 3:41Speaker 6: I understand sports ball, right. I understand like wanting to
- 3:45Speaker 6: root for like a certain team. There's like a tribal
- 3:48Speaker 6: aspect to it that we don't really have as much anymore.
- 3:51Speaker 6: People like tribal around like certain things, but when it
- 3:53Speaker 6: comes to a sports team, it's the one commonality that
- 3:57Speaker 6: maybe like geographically people can share. So just go out
- 4:00Speaker 6: to a bar and someone's wearing a jersey of a
- 4:02Speaker 6: team you like, and like a game's on. There's kind
- 4:05Speaker 6: of like this ability to connect to people that otherwise
- 4:08Speaker 6: wouldn't even exist. You have no reason to be like, hey, buddy,
- 4:11Speaker 6: how's it going, you know, So I understand that level
- 4:13Speaker 6: of it.
- 4:13Speaker 5: I also understand when your team's winning and you're at the.
- 4:17Speaker 6: Sports bar and everyone's like going crazy because they're all
- 4:20Speaker 6: wearing the same Like, there's an energy that happens in
- 4:23Speaker 6: that area, right Like in that localized area where you're
- 4:27Speaker 6: everyone's feeding off each other's energy, you're having a good time,
- 4:30Speaker 6: and it's all because it's like some foreign thing where
- 4:32Speaker 6: other people are playing a sport that you're not even
- 4:35Speaker 6: participating and you're just watching it, but you're getting like
- 4:37Speaker 6: hyped from it.
- 4:38Speaker 5: I understand that.
- 4:39Speaker 6: But when it gets into like the super fan or
- 4:41Speaker 6: like a Twitter super fan, or like a Raiders fan
- 4:45Speaker 6: that doesn't even live anywhere near Oakland, right, Like, what
- 4:49Speaker 6: is that?
- 4:49Speaker 5: What makes you want to care at all about that?
- 4:53Speaker 1: I think a lot of it comes from also people
- 4:55Speaker 1: wanting to be different, you know how Like when there's
- 4:58Speaker 1: a song that a lot of people like their life
- 5:00Speaker 1: songs trash like and you don't really necessarily think it's trash,
- 5:04Speaker 1: but just because the consensus says it's good, you have
- 5:07Speaker 1: to go the opposite way. Same thing happens in sports
- 5:10Speaker 1: where someone's like, yeah, I know, I live nowhere near Oakland,
- 5:14Speaker 1: never been to California, don't even know that it exists,
- 5:17Speaker 1: but I'm a.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Root for that team.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Because xyz right, because I'm not gonna be the Lions
- 5:23Speaker 1: fan that everybody is in Detroit. I'm not gonna be
- 5:25Speaker 1: the Kansas City fan. They want to be different. So
- 5:28Speaker 1: in some of these senses, there's these people that just
- 5:30Speaker 1: stick out like yeah, I'm gonna be this fan. And
- 5:33Speaker 1: then also when things are popular, right, when a team
- 5:36Speaker 1: is good, it's the same thing as people hopping on
- 5:39Speaker 1: the bandwagon of a good song. Like I remember, and
- 5:41Speaker 1: I've probably said this before, but my DMX theory. When
- 5:44Speaker 1: I brought out the DMX album and I was showing
- 5:47Speaker 1: everybody stop drop chute, Oh no, no, Everyone's like, oh
- 5:50Speaker 1: whack whack, trash trash. Then it was on MTV and
- 5:54Speaker 1: then it was on be et as one of the
- 5:56Speaker 1: number one songs. Everybody was listening to it, and they
- 5:59Speaker 1: forgot that I showed them beforehand and they thought it
- 6:02Speaker 1: was trash.
- 6:02Speaker 4: And now they're like, oh, this is the best album
- 6:03Speaker 4: ever heard.
- 6:04Speaker 1: So I think that's just a psychological thing that happens
- 6:07Speaker 1: to people.
- 6:08Speaker 6: And let me all end this too, just saying that
- 6:10Speaker 6: I understand that if you're in a city and the
- 6:12Speaker 6: team's doing really well, it's probably like not easy to
- 6:15Speaker 6: just be like, yeah, I'm rooting for I'm like I'm
- 6:17Speaker 6: one of them now, right, just because you happen to
- 6:20Speaker 6: be in that area. And there's nothing but upside to whearing.
- 6:25Speaker 6: If I was in San Antonio, right and the Spurs
- 6:27Speaker 6: were doing great, Like if I put on a Spurs shirt,
- 6:29Speaker 6: like I get hyped up, you know, just for having
- 6:31Speaker 6: a shirt on. It's like there's this reinforcement angle of it.
- 6:35Speaker 6: When we talk about this documentary and like the super
- 6:38Speaker 6: fan and the person that's dropping eight grand I also
- 6:42Speaker 6: now know that there's another angle to it. Some people
- 6:46Speaker 6: really love the sports just because they're degenerate gamblers, and
- 6:49Speaker 6: that's really what it is. It's like it's a justification
- 6:53Speaker 6: to be a degenerate gambler.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and this film focuses a lot on that, and
- 6:58Speaker 1: especially now because this is it's easier to be a
- 7:01Speaker 1: degenerate gambler. You don't got to drive to Vegas, you
- 7:04Speaker 1: don't gotta fly to Vegas. You just turn on your
- 7:06Speaker 1: phone and you go, let me set up a parlay.
- 7:10Speaker 1: So it's easy to start betting five dollars, twenty dollars.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Now one hundred people have my job, man, Regular people
- 7:16Speaker 1: are gambling like that, just like, I mean, I gambled
- 7:19Speaker 1: a little bit too, but I'm talking about people dropping
- 7:21Speaker 1: five hundred dollars like O ho, I'm betting my check
- 7:24Speaker 1: that this guy better catch the ball. And I'm like, man,
- 7:26Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough way to live, bro fun
- 7:28Speaker 1: tough way to live.
- 7:30Speaker 5: This guy did okay with it.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Yeah, he did all right. Xavier Bardoza.
- 7:35Speaker 1: He the major claim in this film is that he
- 7:40Speaker 1: robbed the banks to fund all these extravagant trips that
- 7:45Speaker 1: he was taking with his chief fandom and and they
- 7:48Speaker 1: kind of like tag you along throughout the film trying
- 7:51Speaker 1: to place him at these bank robberies and as they
- 7:56Speaker 1: go along, because it's cool in this film because they
- 7:58Speaker 1: actually interview him right like why he's going to court
- 8:01Speaker 1: and stuff like that.
- 8:01Speaker 4: So I thought that was really cool that we get.
- 8:04Speaker 1: His insight and he kind of claims his fireback is
- 8:08Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no, no, I wasn't robbing banks. Always
- 8:11Speaker 1: just doing really good at the casino. I was really
- 8:14Speaker 1: good at sports betting, And you're like, you know what
- 8:18Speaker 1: I mean, like you kind of like you're right there,
- 8:20Speaker 1: And they do show some of his bets, like oh,
- 8:21Speaker 1: I bet like that's where it really gets exciting to
- 8:24Speaker 1: your point, like, Okay, you're cheering on the team. Yeah,
- 8:28Speaker 1: it's great to be that camaraderie. It's great to be like,
- 8:30Speaker 1: oh my city's good, or I'm loyal to this team.
- 8:33Speaker 1: But it's a lot greater feeling when you're like I'm
- 8:37Speaker 1: about to win fifty g's, I'm about to win twenty g's.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Like that feeling is where you're actually participating in winning
- 8:44Speaker 1: the game.
- 8:45Speaker 6: And I guess that that's the guys that are getting
- 8:48Speaker 6: real hypher, that are real mad when that field goal
- 8:50Speaker 6: gets missed. It might not even be the lifer that
- 8:53Speaker 6: just has bummed that his team's not doing well. It's
- 8:55Speaker 6: someone that's gonna have to go and rob up four
- 8:57Speaker 6: or five more banks now so they can pay the buckey.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And they started connecting him to these eleven robberies across
- 9:04Speaker 1: seven states, netting eight hundred thousand dollars. And the funniest
- 9:10Speaker 1: part to me because even before like I saw this documentary,
- 9:14Speaker 1: I saw the headlines and I'm like, this guy rob
- 9:17Speaker 1: the banks with the thing that he wears to the games,
- 9:21Speaker 1: Like maybe now the brightest bulb in the in the
- 9:24Speaker 1: box because they're like, yeah, he greater.
- 9:27Speaker 4: Wolf or Chief Wolf or like you if you're one of.
- 9:30Speaker 1: These characters, because also people that don't know sports, and
- 9:34Speaker 1: it doves into the film of this is that these
- 9:37Speaker 1: characters become famous amongst the fans, right, they are like
- 9:41Speaker 1: the guys leading the way of their people are looking
- 9:44Speaker 1: up to them, Like, this guy's gonna paint his face
- 9:46Speaker 1: all crazy every game and get wild and crazy.
- 9:49Speaker 4: We're gonna follow him, so we get it.
- 9:50Speaker 1: He gets a huge following just for being at all
- 9:53Speaker 1: these games and sticking out by being dressing in a
- 9:57Speaker 1: wolf costume.
- 9:58Speaker 6: And this is where maybe I stop understanding, Like I
- 10:01Speaker 6: understand all those other aspects of like coming together around
- 10:04Speaker 6: a team, but this guy becomes almost a folk hero
- 10:08Speaker 6: for basically just posting positive things about the team Chiefs
- 10:13Speaker 6: are gonna win to day, go Chiefs, and then wearing
- 10:15Speaker 6: a wolf costume and then showing up at like all
- 10:18Speaker 6: these games, and then people are like, wow, this guy's
- 10:20Speaker 6: investing a lot of time, money, and effort into being
- 10:23Speaker 6: this wolf, you know, super fan, and then they become
- 10:27Speaker 6: fans of the super fan.
- 10:28Speaker 5: That's where that's where my logic breaks down. I don't
- 10:30Speaker 5: get it. But you know, more power to them.
- 10:33Speaker 1: I guess I'm with you on that, Like I don't
- 10:35Speaker 1: understand the aspect of it, but I think that's just
- 10:37Speaker 1: where I don't know why. I think some of his
- 10:39Speaker 1: bets that he was posting gets funny memes like I
- 10:43Speaker 1: get that for a while, but like they want to
- 10:44Speaker 1: take pictures with this guy. They want Hey man, that's
- 10:48Speaker 1: a chiefs soholic man, you know, like people I've never
- 10:52Speaker 1: got that. I'm also not starstruck by anybody. Like if
- 10:55Speaker 1: there's people like I like in the music industry or
- 10:57Speaker 1: in sports or someone like I respect, I'll go, hey, man,
- 11:00Speaker 1: appreciate your work.
- 11:01Speaker 4: Handshake cool. I'm good if that right.
- 11:04Speaker 1: But other people are very easily struck by fandom, and
- 11:08Speaker 1: then they're like.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Hey, take a bitture with me, man, sign this.
- 11:11Speaker 1: And these characters become huge. It's almost like he's an
- 11:15Speaker 1: influencer now. Like you said, it's not like he's coming
- 11:17Speaker 1: with crazy insight. He's just like, hey, man, I think
- 11:21Speaker 1: we could win this game, and people are like, oh,
- 11:22Speaker 1: this all this.
- 11:23Speaker 4: Man, That's what I'm saying.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not like breaking down analytics and like, hey,
- 11:30Speaker 1: you know, seventy five percent of the time the team
- 11:33Speaker 1: runs the ball and does this, he's just like, we
- 11:34Speaker 1: gotta win this bro beating his chest.
- 11:37Speaker 4: And then people are just loving it.
- 11:38Speaker 1: So it is an interesting aspect of this film for
- 11:42Speaker 1: people that are not into the sports world to kind
- 11:45Speaker 1: of get a view of how people, cause you see
- 11:47Speaker 1: other super fans throughout this film that like they have
- 11:50Speaker 1: all the memorabilia and they stick together and they start
- 11:54Speaker 1: claiming like they're like, hey, you know, I go to
- 11:56Speaker 1: the games, but I'm like, I can't go all the games.
- 11:58Speaker 1: It's pretty pricey, right, And they're like this guys going
- 12:01Speaker 1: on all the games and we're all wondering who he is,
- 12:03Speaker 1: and he come to find out, he creates this fake
- 12:06Speaker 1: persona of who he is and telling people that like, oh,
- 12:11Speaker 1: he makes his money here and that he.
- 12:14Speaker 4: That he went to a college.
- 12:16Speaker 1: And then it turns out he went to Kansas State,
- 12:18Speaker 1: but like that he was telling people that he I
- 12:20Speaker 1: think he told people he went to Kansas University or
- 12:22Speaker 1: something like that in Kansas City, but he went to
- 12:25Speaker 1: another I don't think he even graduated or anything, but
- 12:28Speaker 1: he claimed to be in the lum And then as
- 12:32Speaker 1: the film goes on, you also find out that oh,
- 12:34Speaker 1: this guy's like living in his car, driving around the country,
- 12:39Speaker 1: supposedly just going to games. But then they start mapping
- 12:42Speaker 1: out the evidence of like, oh, well he was here
- 12:44Speaker 1: and this bank was wrong.
- 12:46Speaker 4: He was here and then this bank was wrong.
- 12:48Speaker 1: I wanted to get your ask, your take on when
- 12:52Speaker 1: they're start talking about the bank robberies and they're linking
- 12:55Speaker 1: to him where he expresses that he's nothing to it, right,
- 13:00Speaker 1: I started.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Believing him a little bit. And again I don't really
- 13:03Speaker 4: like that team, but.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I felt he was genuine And then like later on
- 13:06Speaker 1: the film, I felt a little different. But at the
- 13:08Speaker 1: time where they're breaking it down, how did you feel
- 13:11Speaker 1: about his innocence or him being guilty?
- 13:13Speaker 5: I thought he was guilty right away.
- 13:15Speaker 6: As soon as soon as the accusation came up this
- 13:18Speaker 6: guy is probably robbing banks to get this money. Everything
- 13:21Speaker 6: clicked immediately because even though his alibi, I guess, was, oh,
- 13:27Speaker 6: I'm just killing it on all these bets, he himself
- 13:29Speaker 6: even says, like any real gambler knows that a gambler
- 13:34Speaker 6: doesn't share all their bets, they only share certain ones.
- 13:37Speaker 6: And to me, that was him telling on himself, letting
- 13:39Speaker 6: you know, like, yeah, I've told you about all these
- 13:42Speaker 6: great bets that I've won, but I haven't told you
- 13:44Speaker 6: about like the ten x that I've lost over the time.
- 13:47Speaker 6: And in fact, there was this one right where he
- 13:50Speaker 6: lost eighty grand in one bet that didn't pan out
- 13:54Speaker 6: for him, and then the next step was that he's
- 13:57Speaker 6: robbing banks to make another bet so that he can
- 14:01Speaker 6: flip that money to turn into one ten. It's like,
- 14:03Speaker 6: I don't know, man, Like the thirty grand difference between
- 14:06Speaker 6: just not placing that eighty grand bet originally and now
- 14:09Speaker 6: you just got eighty grand in the banks and go
- 14:11Speaker 6: and buy that house you keep talking about, but the
- 14:14Speaker 6: down payment, like the opportunity to do all of these
- 14:17Speaker 6: things with the money, and they don't really show if
- 14:20Speaker 6: you're this successful businessman, You've got all these contracts you've
- 14:23Speaker 6: been you know, this has got a career that's funding this.
- 14:26Speaker 6: You would expect and like and here I am at
- 14:28Speaker 6: the shop and here I am doing business. And it's
- 14:31Speaker 6: the exact opposite of that. So the second the accusation
- 14:34Speaker 6: comes up that this guy's a degenerate gambler and he's
- 14:37Speaker 6: robbing banks to fund his gambling and the sports, then.
- 14:41Speaker 5: I didn't really need to be sold beyond that.
- 14:44Speaker 1: And in Oklahoma there was a bank robbery at a
- 14:48Speaker 1: teacher's credit union or something like that. And this is
- 14:51Speaker 1: the turning point because then it's like, oh, we caught him.
- 14:55Speaker 4: He was riding his bike.
- 14:56Speaker 1: So it turns out that he's going to all these
- 14:58Speaker 1: different hotels and he had a car, but he has
- 15:01Speaker 1: a bike attached to the car, right, and he's robbing
- 15:04Speaker 1: banks and then riding his bike back.
- 15:08Speaker 4: To where it not a bad idea, right, I mean,
- 15:10Speaker 4: quick getaway.
- 15:11Speaker 1: They arrest him and then it's like he's like, okay,
- 15:13Speaker 1: well I rob that bank right yet, but not the
- 15:17Speaker 1: other ones. And then they start putting the evidence together
- 15:20Speaker 1: like yeah, this guy was doing it. And you see
- 15:23Speaker 1: his lifestyle as you alluded to, not only his gambling,
- 15:26Speaker 1: but these tickets he's buying for these playoff games, these
- 15:29Speaker 1: like super important games like these are pricey, These are expensive.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Most regular fans don't even go to a lot of
- 15:36Speaker 1: these games because you can go to the eight games
- 15:39Speaker 1: that is in your city or your town, because you
- 15:42Speaker 1: can buy season tickets where hey, I'm buying for three grand,
- 15:46Speaker 1: four grand, I'm buying eight tickets right up front before
- 15:49Speaker 1: everybody else. But these playoff tickets, they're expensive and you
- 15:53Speaker 1: don't get a chance. You don't know if your team's
- 15:55Speaker 1: going to be in the playoffs, so you don't get
- 15:56Speaker 1: to buy it until they come out. So him to
- 15:58Speaker 1: be able to go all these games and the seats
- 16:01Speaker 1: that he was sitting at and going to new stadiums,
- 16:04Speaker 1: different stadiums, to me, it was obvious that he was
- 16:07Speaker 1: robbing banks. And then you get towards the end and
- 16:10Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this was He's full of shit the
- 16:12Speaker 1: whole time. Man, this guy's just talking out his ass
- 16:14Speaker 1: and he's been robbing these banks, and then you kind
- 16:17Speaker 1: of go, how the hell did he get away with it?
- 16:19Speaker 4: He's not the he doesn't seem like the smartest guy.
- 16:21Speaker 1: I mean he I guess it's where we go back
- 16:23Speaker 1: to like the wild whites of West Virginia, Like there's
- 16:27Speaker 1: different types of smart, right, maybe on the outside you
- 16:29Speaker 1: don't you don't see it, But I mean, he was
- 16:31Speaker 1: smart enough to get away with eleven robberies before.
- 16:34Speaker 6: I don't know I would say bold. He was bold
- 16:38Speaker 6: to do it. I don't know if it was necessarily smart.
- 16:41Speaker 6: I think if anything, and I'll I kind of like
- 16:43Speaker 6: skip to the end of the review here, But like,
- 16:45Speaker 6: my biggest takeaway is how easy it is to rob banks.
- 16:49Speaker 5: At least or it was.
- 16:50Speaker 6: I mean, this is what ten years ago, or is
- 16:52Speaker 6: this like fairly recent that the last one that he did, Yeah.
- 16:56Speaker 1: This was fairly recent because it was the last one
- 16:58Speaker 1: was I think in twenty twenty two.
- 17:00Speaker 6: Damn, So even in twenty twenty two, it's that easy
- 17:03Speaker 6: to actually rob the bank is the easy part. The
- 17:06Speaker 6: hard part is getting away with it for the rest
- 17:08Speaker 6: of your life because it's going to be on someone's
- 17:10Speaker 6: desk or in some file, someone's gonna dig it up
- 17:12Speaker 6: and use new technology or whatever. So it's it's almost
- 17:15Speaker 6: like you're putting yourself on a timeline where eventually you're
- 17:17Speaker 6: gonna get caught. And this guy just kept pressing his
- 17:20Speaker 6: luck like it was his job. He like, I could
- 17:23Speaker 6: imagine doing this two or three times, hitting like a
- 17:26Speaker 6: huge payday on gambling, and then being like, all right,
- 17:28Speaker 6: I guess we're packing it in. But I also can
- 17:32Speaker 6: understand how that never happens because you're like, you know,
- 17:34Speaker 6: I'll never get caught.
- 17:35Speaker 5: I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna get rich.
- 17:46Speaker 4: Hidden treasures and overboard moments.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I thought some of the hidden treasures is the actual
- 17:54Speaker 1: psychology about this sports betting, because even though I like
- 17:57Speaker 1: sports and I have a good time with my family's
- 17:59Speaker 1: sitting around this gambling stuff is getting out of control.
- 18:02Speaker 1: And this is what I focus mainly on this film,
- 18:05Speaker 1: is like, this guy is so much in depth from gambling.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Yeah, he loves the team.
- 18:09Speaker 1: I get all that paying for these expensive tickets and
- 18:13Speaker 1: he's in love with the fame. But it really seemed
- 18:16Speaker 1: like it's like, oh, these new bookies, these digital bookies
- 18:19Speaker 1: are getting people bad, and people are so bad that
- 18:23Speaker 1: they're robbing banks to like stay afloat.
- 18:26Speaker 6: I really like your comparison to the Wild Whites of
- 18:29Speaker 6: West Virginia because it's just a little different. It's just
- 18:32Speaker 6: like you took the exit right before that exit to
- 18:35Speaker 6: get off, and you see this kind of behavior that's
- 18:38Speaker 6: going on because it's not just the bank robber, right,
- 18:42Speaker 6: It's not just the chief aholic guy. It's all the
- 18:45Speaker 6: fans that like love him and that are enabling him.
- 18:48Speaker 6: It's even and like my hidden treasure on this one,
- 18:51Speaker 6: I'm gonna be really superficial, right, very surface level, but
- 18:55Speaker 6: the bail bondsman is like he desre's his own documentary
- 19:00Speaker 6: because I want to understand what the hell this guy's
- 19:03Speaker 6: going through. He sees the Chief Saholic get arrested or
- 19:07Speaker 6: accuse him being a bank robber, he buys the BS
- 19:10Speaker 6: story two. Oh, they must have the wrong guy, right,
- 19:12Speaker 6: And from what I stand, he puts up eighty k
- 19:16Speaker 6: at stake of his own money because this Chief sahalt
- 19:19Speaker 6: guy's got nothing in order to bond him out. And
- 19:23Speaker 6: is it like a promotional reason or something?
- 19:25Speaker 5: But the and the.
- 19:26Speaker 6: Guy dips right, he immediately like after he hits something
- 19:30Speaker 6: real big. He hits that one hundred and ten or
- 19:32Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty K bet and then all of
- 19:35Speaker 6: a sudden he pops off the map and then go
- 19:38Speaker 6: and check out. And in the hotel room he was
- 19:40Speaker 6: staying at, you can see the ankle bracelets cut off.
- 19:43Speaker 6: It's in the corner. And the guy starts freaking out.
- 19:45Speaker 6: He's like, I'm gonna be on the hook for this
- 19:47Speaker 6: eighty K. I'm gonna lose my license. How can not
- 19:49Speaker 6: the cops not have found this guy already? And I'm
- 19:52Speaker 6: just want to like, bro, you're the one that bailed
- 19:54Speaker 6: this dude out, you're the one that actually like made.
- 19:57Speaker 5: All of this happen.
- 19:58Speaker 6: And also the freaking wig that this dude is wearing,
- 20:02Speaker 6: the two pay this dude is wearing is so over
- 20:04Speaker 6: the top. Whenever he's on the screen, I can't not
- 20:07Speaker 6: think about how horrible the two pay looks. I'm sorry, well,
- 20:12Speaker 6: I like it.
- 20:13Speaker 1: The aspect of he's mad about what happened, right first
- 20:17Speaker 1: thing in the whole time is like, I'm helping this
- 20:18Speaker 1: kid out.
- 20:18Speaker 4: I'm a good guy.
- 20:19Speaker 1: It seemed like he was like, I'm gonna being part
- 20:21Speaker 1: of this documentary and people are gonna think I'm a
- 20:23Speaker 1: good guy. And then as he leaves, he's you see
- 20:26Speaker 1: him turn on one to eighty in real.
- 20:28Speaker 4: Time where he's like, oh man, this guy's a piece
- 20:30Speaker 4: of crab. Man, can't believe he did this to me.
- 20:33Speaker 4: And then he's even like get out.
- 20:35Speaker 5: Like the true came out of my face, and then.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Like he actually they do catch him, but it's just
- 20:41Speaker 1: to see that surreal moment of where he's like, yeah, no,
- 20:43Speaker 1: I'm just a good guy.
- 20:44Speaker 4: I'm trying to help somebody out. And then he's like
- 20:47Speaker 4: I hate all of you.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I hope you die. I'm about to lose eighty K.
- 20:51Speaker 1: He is not happy. And that's a real emotion to me.
- 20:54Speaker 1: What it looks like.
- 20:56Speaker 6: Between the bad two pay bill bondsman guy, between the
- 21:01Speaker 6: actually the actual chiefs, the hall guy, and then the
- 21:03Speaker 6: bank teller, the bank one of the bank tellers of
- 21:06Speaker 6: all these banks. He hit this one lady. And I'm
- 21:09Speaker 6: not gonna like belittle her claims. I might question them,
- 21:13Speaker 6: but that she's like, I'm traumatized. I can't ever work again.
- 21:16Speaker 6: I need eleven million dollars now because he put a
- 21:19Speaker 6: fake gun to my head in a real bank robbery,
- 21:22Speaker 6: and now like I shake when I think about going
- 21:25Speaker 6: back to work.
- 21:27Speaker 5: I have believe it.
- 21:27Speaker 6: Whatever, But here's what ends up happening, right the chiefs,
- 21:31Speaker 6: A holid guy gets caught eventually, and then he pleads guilty.
- 21:35Speaker 6: He actually just admits to all of it. His lawyer
- 21:38Speaker 6: goes on to turn that into a bunch of funny
- 21:41Speaker 6: memes and stuff. He's like throwing out silly football analogies,
- 21:45Speaker 6: like it might not have been a touchdown this time,
- 21:47Speaker 6: but you know, like it's just like so we're maybe
- 21:49Speaker 6: we lost a coin flip, but we're gonna go ahead
- 21:52Speaker 6: and follow this three two minutes.
- 21:53Speaker 4: Left in the fourth quarter, and we're gonna get that,
- 21:56Speaker 4: like it's.
- 21:57Speaker 5: And then and then there's also this other layer.
- 22:00Speaker 6: They have interviews with a whole bunch of different people
- 22:03Speaker 6: that were just fans at the time this was going on,
- 22:07Speaker 6: no real insight, no real play whatsoever in the overall story.
- 22:12Speaker 6: Just here's another six people to get some clips of
- 22:15Speaker 6: them talking about all this stuff. And some of them
- 22:18Speaker 6: it was just like a reminder, Like there was this
- 22:19Speaker 6: one lady. She's like, I just didn't want him to
- 22:21Speaker 6: be guilty, you know, like like he was our Robin hood.
- 22:24Speaker 6: And first I thought, like he wasn't given money to anybody, right,
- 22:27Speaker 6: he was just straight robbing banks and spending it on
- 22:30Speaker 6: himself and putting it in gambling. But that there are
- 22:35Speaker 6: people that just straight up make the team sport their
- 22:38Speaker 6: entire life and personality, because I guess there's just nothing
- 22:41Speaker 6: a halt not allows the kick anchor to. So when
- 22:44Speaker 6: this super fan comes through, now, it's like, oh, here's
- 22:47Speaker 6: a version of someone that likes the team that I've
- 22:50Speaker 6: actually got some kind of connection to.
- 22:52Speaker 5: He might tweet me back on Twitter.
- 22:54Speaker 6: I might see him at the game and give me
- 22:56Speaker 6: DAPs the players aren't doing that. The players are like
- 22:58Speaker 6: at their own level, you're never gonna give I mean
- 23:00Speaker 6: maybe if they're like going by onto the field, but
- 23:03Speaker 6: you're not having a drink with the player after the
- 23:05Speaker 6: game in a bar ever, right like they go to
- 23:07Speaker 6: their own special bar. You might see this guy. So
- 23:10Speaker 6: it was just to rely again. The Wildwifes of West
- 23:12Speaker 6: Virginia great analogy here because instead of doing meth and
- 23:15Speaker 6: selling oxies, they're basically robbing banks and going to football games.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Yeah it stuff, and some of the over more moments
- 23:23Speaker 1: is the teller. To me, I'm gonna braid her a
- 23:27Speaker 1: little bit because I get tired of while I'm watching it,
- 23:30Speaker 1: she's just like I fear for Like I get it,
- 23:32Speaker 1: like I know things can happen, but the way she
- 23:34Speaker 1: tells the story, it just doesn't add up to me.
- 23:37Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know.
- 23:38Speaker 1: It sounds like you don't want to work and you
- 23:40Speaker 1: found a loophole that you think you're gonna get away,
- 23:42Speaker 1: like where you're like, oh, I'm just gonna get a
- 23:44Speaker 1: eleven million and I'm good, I never have to work again.
- 23:47Speaker 4: That's how I That's how I see it.
- 23:48Speaker 5: She got it right.
- 23:49Speaker 6: She got the judgment, but now it's like, Okay, good
- 23:52Speaker 6: luck getting this eleven million dollars from a dude that's
- 23:55Speaker 6: in jail and his mom is living in a car,
- 23:58Speaker 6: and they're just and there's so many wild things that
- 24:02Speaker 6: don't add up in this. For example, when the bail
- 24:05Speaker 6: bondsman goes and they he puts trackers under the car,
- 24:09Speaker 6: and then he gets a hint or a tip that hey,
- 24:12Speaker 6: they traded it out. Now they got this gold car,
- 24:14Speaker 6: and he goes and he puts a tracker on that thing.
- 24:16Speaker 6: And while they're and they keep going to like walmarts
- 24:19Speaker 6: and targets.
- 24:20Speaker 5: I still don't.
- 24:20Speaker 6: Understand that maybe it was just buying like prepaid credit
- 24:23Speaker 6: cards or something. But they're going to all these walmarts
- 24:25Speaker 6: and targets. And at one point when she goes in,
- 24:29Speaker 6: maybe they're doing gas station showers or something, you know,
- 24:33Speaker 6: truck stop showers, and she leaves the car. He goes
- 24:37Speaker 6: through all of her stuff, and then she like leaves
- 24:40Speaker 6: completely for like three or four days, but in the
- 24:43Speaker 6: car she leaves like five grand in cash, and like
- 24:46Speaker 6: all this evidence and stuff didn't even lock the doors.
- 24:49Speaker 6: So I don't like the claim of like, yeah, maybe
- 24:51Speaker 6: this guy's secretly a genius. I don't know, man. The
- 24:55Speaker 6: biggest overboard moment was that dude's to pay bro.
- 25:03Speaker 4: It's about that time. Sink or swim.
- 25:08Speaker 6: I mean, I'm gonna pass it back to you. I
- 25:09Speaker 6: want to see what you think.
- 25:11Speaker 1: I give it a swim because it was entertaining, even
- 25:15Speaker 1: though there's like moments where you're like, oh, man, this
- 25:17Speaker 1: seems a little fabricated, but they do seem like real characters.
- 25:21Speaker 1: And then you see like the mom and Xavier and
- 25:23Speaker 1: his little like they're like, oh, they may be like
- 25:25Speaker 1: a drug infested family that just is gypsies that just
- 25:28Speaker 1: travel the world and do whatever they can to get money,
- 25:33Speaker 1: and then they just so happen also like football. So
- 25:36Speaker 1: to me, it's a good watch. It's entertaining. Maybe it's
- 25:38Speaker 1: not the biggest swim, but it gets a swim for me.
- 25:42Speaker 5: I'm gonna give this a sink, man. I think your
- 25:44Speaker 5: bias is at play here. That's fine.
- 25:46Speaker 6: I think that this could have been a forty minute
- 25:48Speaker 6: TV episode. It didn't need to be a two hour documentary.
- 25:52Speaker 6: There's a lot of fluff with talking to other super
- 25:55Speaker 6: fans just about Yeah, man, I love the Chiefs like,
- 25:57Speaker 6: all right, thanks for taking five minutes in my data
- 26:00Speaker 6: include that guy's interview in this documentary.
- 26:03Speaker 5: And I guess the biggest one though, is it was entertaining.
- 26:07Speaker 6: I don't regret watching this entire thing, and I do
- 26:09Speaker 6: recommend if you're even vaguely interested in this topic you'll
- 26:13Speaker 6: like it. But it didn't really change any kind of worldview.
- 26:16Speaker 6: I'm gonna forget everyone's name that came up in this documentary.
- 26:20Speaker 6: I'm gonna forget most of this except for A the
- 26:23Speaker 6: dude's two pey and B that there was some mascot
- 26:26Speaker 6: on some team somewhere that robbed banks.
- 26:28Speaker 5: And that's kind of much my takeaway.
- 26:30Speaker 6: And I don't feel like I learned about a new
- 26:32Speaker 6: type of person that's out there.
- 26:35Speaker 5: I feel like I know people like.
- 26:36Speaker 6: This I probably, which is why when you were asking first, yeah,
- 26:40Speaker 6: did you believe it?
- 26:41Speaker 5: Did you think he was guilty?
- 26:42Speaker 6: It's like, nah, bro, this guy used to live with
- 26:44Speaker 6: me in like two thousand and three in South Texas,
- 26:47Speaker 6: Like I know this dude.
- 26:48Speaker 5: No, he's not telling the truth.
- 26:51Speaker 1: And you know who is telling the truth is Paranoid American.
