1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of I Tell you what. These

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: people come to your door and they rip stuff off.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: They are porch pirates. Yeah, I know, there's a way

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: of getting rid of them.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: Okay.

6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 3: So the new thing that people are doing apparently is

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 3: basically they're getting the same kind of I don't know,

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 3: mechanism that you see in those blue dye bank bags

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: where you have bank robbers and then they open up

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 3: a bag and it explodes blue dye in their face

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: or orange dye or orange dye whatever whatever color.

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Glitter bomb things.

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: Kind of yes, but now they're planting them in dummy packages,

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: putting them on their step if they know that, they

15
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 3: constantly are getting porch pirated, and then a porch pirate

16
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: will come up grab it and then it just blows

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 3: up in their face when they're walking away, like when

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: it gets jostled around.

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: Why don't we post this and I think that these

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: videos are fake?

21
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: I did. I posted it already.

22
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: Oh you just did.

23
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: Thank you.

24
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: It's on the Chris car and Company Facebook. So if anything,

25
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe it's fake, maybe it's not. It's still

26
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: worth discussing this possible solution to ports pirates. Also, it's

27
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: funny video, like what ends up happening when these things

28
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 3: blow up in people's faces?

29
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: This is just goofy. So whether it's staged.

30
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 3: Or not, I don't know who would really want to

31
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: volunteer to be a part of this though, because it

32
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: really blasts them in the face. I mean their faces

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: are covered.

34
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: Unless it's AI, you can't tell them.

35
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: I think it is.

36
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: See, it is hard to tell and stuff is AI,

37
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: but there's something about it.

38
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this yesterday.

39
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: There's like something about the way that the pixels are

40
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: moving or something. But I still feel like you can

41
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: usually tell if it's AI or not.

42
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: This doesn't look like it had these for years, right,

43
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: but not quite as complex as they are now, where

44
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: it's literally just to text some movement and like a

45
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: timer or something and it blows up better. The one

46
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: that I saw years ago made a noise. I mean

47
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: it was like the glitter bombs. Yeah, the glitter bombs

48
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: would like like a fan. It was like as cool

49
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: as the whole effect. The noise was stiller than anything.

50
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's like a whole YouTube channel on it. Yeah,

51
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 4: it's so great.

52
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: And those were real. So I don't know if these

53
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: but I mean, it's still the ingenuity is pretty awesome.

54
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And I mean whoever put it together, it's

55
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And then all it means is like, even

56
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: if it's not real, somebody could easily take a look

57
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: at that and make it real in their own way,

58
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: because I mean who would? But is it that? Is

59
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: it the die that doesn't go away?

60
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure that it goes away eventually. I mean, what

61
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: is it going to stain them forever?

62
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: Forever? But there's you know, the stain that they use

63
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: on dollar bills doesn't just wash right off. That's just

64
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: a stick out, because that's the whole point to get you,

65
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: you know.

66
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 3: Ran if you will, it does look very very similar

67
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: to that same kind of dye these So.

68
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: You're gonna be pink or orange or red or whatever

69
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: for days.

70
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: Probably they deserve it. If you're a porch pirate, are

71
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 3: you serious? What are you doing with your life?

72
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: I don't currue that.

73
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you guys remember the time that I thought

74
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: that I was being porch pirated But I wasn't actually

75
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: like portrayed in myself.

76
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: Wait what a while ago?

77
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: I got so whipped up.

78
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: I was like, so I was certain that someone stole

79
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: a package from me, and I was so certain that

80
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: I talked about it on the show and she.

81
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Was certain it was a specific person.

82
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: Yes, because I had been driving home and I saw

83
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: someone walking down our street that I had never seen before,

84
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 3: and I just thought that person looked suspicious.

85
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: To be honest, that person was absolutely fault in her mind.

86
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: I totally.

87
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: For everything.

88
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had like a trench coat on.

89
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: He was like swaggering along and I'm like, I've never

90
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: seen this person in Maple leg in my life. And

91
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: I tell you what, like you just recognize people.

92
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: She was profiling. Sam was so filing this dude. It

93
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: was just a flasher.

94
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: He just looked suspicious.

95
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: And then I talked about it on the show and

96
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: I talked about it so strongly that the people who

97
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: work at the post office heard about it and they

98
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: felt bad and they messaged me and they're like, we

99
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: want to help you. We want to figure out how

100
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: we can deliver your packages in a safer way, all

101
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: this stuff. They were so nice and accommodating, and then

102
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: you realized, like a couple of days later, found the

103
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: package in my office.

104
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: At because Hawthorne brought it in.

105
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: No, I think at some point I brought it.

106
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: You brought in yet I don't remember that part of

107
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: the story. You brought in the old package for taking

108
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: my packages. Look at the video camp you're taking your packages.

109
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: I just forgot that I grabbed it because sometimes you're

110
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: on autopilot. You get home, you grab stuff, you let

111
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: the dogs out, and you just don't think twice about

112
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: things were doing.

113
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Nobody's on that kind of autopilot.

114
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: I'm operating an autopilot most of the time.

115
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: That's like this weekend when I went to go pick

116
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: up this hoodie that we bought for Leno off Facebook marketplace, yea,

117
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: from this person's house. They had the bags sitting on

118
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: their porch, and then they had an Amazon package and

119
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 4: I walk up and I go, They're gonna think I'm

120
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 4: stealing their package. I literally pick up the bag and

121
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: i'd look into the ring camera and go, I'm just

122
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 4: taking the hoodie we bought.

123
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And.

124
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Then the ink bomb blew off right right.

125
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: So see, you sometimes you got to make sure that

126
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: people don't know that you're porch pirating. Sometimes you might

127
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: porch pirate yourself and not even know it.

128
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: It's just you never know. I felt so stupid.

129
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: I felt so Dopefully there wasn't an ink bomb in there,

130
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 4: but there was more than one package.

131
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: If I remember right on the thing.

132
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: I think it was like it was like two things,

133
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: like a box and a package, and I like tucked

134
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: them into our office and didn't even remember that.

135
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: See that your neighbors package still out?

136
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: No, they grabbed it, Yeah, they grabbed somebody else.

137
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, because a couple I know, because a couple of

138
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: weeks ago, I talked about how my neighbors had a

139
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: package on their front step and it had been sitting

140
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: there for like a week and a half and I'm like,

141
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: why haven't you taken this inside yet? And it was

142
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: kind of driving me a little crazy, But they did.

143
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: They did bring it in.

144
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Now, so how did they not see it?

145
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: It was at their front door and there the way

146
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: that their house is set up, they just always go

147
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: in through the side door by the barge.

148
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: I get that, But if you're ordering, if you're ordering

149
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: something from Amazon, you could have an expectation that it's

150
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: going to be and plus Amazon tells you it's delivered

151
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: I agree, or wherever. I mean, it doesn't matter where

152
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: you order it. Hey, we dropped we delivered this package.

153
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you think you go check your front door. You

154
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: think neighbors? Are they like zombies? What?

155
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: They're a little bit on the older side, so I wonder,

156
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: I don't know, not zombies, but so I I don't know.

157
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: But they did end up grabbing it, so that's good.

158
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: What was in the package?

159
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: I have no idea because I didn't.

160
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,080

00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 5: pancake because it was pretty flat.

00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: It was like a package.

173

176
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: enough that it was low profile, and so I was

177
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: really probably the only person even paying attention to this

178
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: package because it coincidentally like their front door lines up

179
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: right with where I parked my car, so I'd look

180
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: at it every time I falled into the driveway and

181
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: it just drive me crazy. Why why haven't you grabbed

182
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,320

183
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: took two weeks.

184
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,160

00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,320
