This first story, this 78 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 3: one takes place across the pond in the UK. Okay, 79 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: that's for the United Kingdom. Yes, Now, the headline alone 80 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: should get you going. You're ready. British police forced to 81 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: taser or retired naked opera singer after he got busy 82 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: demolishing a nursing home armed with a bow and arrow. 83 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: I like, retired naked opera singer is like I retired 84 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: from naked opera singer exactly. 85 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: I was when I read that, I was like. 86 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: Naked. 87 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, But there's a whole theory about it, the orders 88 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: of imaginatives, and I'm fairly certain this breaks that order 89 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: most definitely. Anyway, Government name Mark Holland vocal range baritone. Okay, yeah, 90 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: the sixty three year old former opera singer, as the 91 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: headline said, now retired. He attended London's Royal College of Music. 92 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: So he was like, you know about that life and 93 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: he went on brilliant career in opera. Now his career 94 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 3: is over. So he'd swap stages of the world for 95 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: the quiet of a nursing home. Elizabeth. It was a 96 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: spot called Bellmar nursing home. It's in life im Saint 97 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 3: Anne's on the western coast of England. Oh lovely, right, 98 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: very nice. You can see Ireland anyway. It's important to 99 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 3: note that Holland moved into this nursing home on his 100 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 3: own volition, his choice. But then one day he felt 101 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 3: like a prisoner because Mark Collin was denied a trip 102 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: to go shopping, and like Holland oates, he said, I 103 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 3: can't go for that. 104 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: No, normally nobody holds back Marky Halls Halls, No. 105 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: Are you kidding me, especially when he's on his way 106 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: to go pick up a pint? 107 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: Was he going to like Tesco? 108 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 3: Well, it turns out normally he was allowed to leave 109 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: the nursing home, right, Not only they let him go out, 110 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: and it wasn't like, oh, he's popping down to the 111 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: sex shop, we can't have him come back with inappropriate 112 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: stuff for the other elders. It wasn't like he just 113 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: that guy, right, No, you'd just go down on his 114 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 3: own leisure at his own choice. He would just pop 115 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: down to any of the shops. But the staff was 116 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 3: worried because recently mister Holland had started drinking too much opus. Yeah, 117 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: so they were like, nah, mate, no trip for you. No, 118 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 3: once denied. What did the retired opera singer do? Well, first, 119 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: you know, he stormed off to his room like a sullentene. 120 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: Right, he had. 121 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: Clamped off and he locked himself in his room. But 122 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: he didn't stay there long, Elizabeth, because he came back 123 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: out ready to fight with song. 124 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, like his life. 125 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 3: Was a musical. Mister Holland came out swinging with his 126 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 3: vocal cords. He was also buck naked. So he comes 127 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 3: out buck naked and starts belting out opportunes at full 128 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: throated volume. Right, and he's gonna fight them back with songs. 129 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: When you've been told you're drinking too much, and you 130 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: counter that by coming. 131 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 3: Out naked, naked, big and full throated, you're just proving 132 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: a point exactly. Well, anyway, he was also armed with 133 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: a bow in a quiver of arrows. Okay, it's also 134 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: not going to help your argument about the drink. But 135 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 3: apparently the side of a fully naked opera singer belting 136 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: like Pavarotti, armed like Robinhood, this struck fear in the 137 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: hearts of the nursing home staff. 138 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you see a long bow coming at you 139 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: with the danglar. 140 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: And anyway, if anyone's going to really respect the long bow, 141 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: it's the French and the English. So anyway, they immediately 142 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 3: fled the scene. And if you're wondering, what about what 143 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 3: about the elders did they just labeled behind noe. The 144 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: staff took the nursing home residence with them. Downstairs, they 145 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 3: hit out in the basement. Meanwhile, topside, mister Holland was 146 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 3: still working on his opus sub destruction. Right, so he 147 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: set off by this point, fire extinguishers and smashing indoors. 148 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: He fired off his bow and let some arrows into 149 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: the wall. Righty. Wow. He went outside the nursing home 150 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: and he gathered up some concrete blocks and just chucked 151 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: him into the air, and then they fell onto the 152 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: visitor's cars and he giggled to himself, whoa yeah. So now, meanwhile, 153 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 3: sheltering below the nursing home staff, they contact the local 154 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: police and they're like, send down the bobbies, and so 155 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: the boss from Blackpool responded, Now the cops they closed 156 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: the roads in and out of the nursing home. That's 157 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: their first move. We need to close the roads. Wow, 158 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 3: that's strong. 159 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: They had to establish a peruna exactly. 160 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 3: So then they lay siege to the building and we're 161 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 3: gonna take over the building. But rather than storm the building, 162 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 3: like you know, some cops in die Hard. These cops 163 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,679 Speaker 3: they called in a professional hostage negotiator. Yes, so, mister Holland, 164 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: he was mostly done with his opus of destruction at 165 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: this point. He kind of calmed down, but he wasn't 166 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 3: done with his one man protests. So when he catches 167 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: sight of the cops and they're like professional hostage negotiator, 168 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: he has offended Elizabeth. He took steady and true aim 169 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: and he let one fly and the naked Robin Hood 170 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: hit an arrow that nearly hit a cop. Right, he 171 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 3: plucked one back, and then this was enough for the 172 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 3: cops to escalate things. They're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy, 173 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: that's a real arrow. He almost hit Nigel.

The next day, zoo keepers found a second enclosure 230 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: had been tampered with. This time it was the home 231 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: of the languor monkeys. Yes. And then in January of 232 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: this year, two Emperor Tamarin monkeys were also eventually and 233 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 3: fully stolen from the zoo, not just freed, taken. Wow.

So this The Dallas Police they 242 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 3: considered this wave of crimes at the zoo and they 243 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 3: opened a criminal investigation file. There's like something that must 244 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 3: be at the bottom of this, right the cops. They 245 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: turned to the community for assistance, as they often are 246 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: wont to do. This paid off because the Dallas PD 247 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: they received to tip An anonymous tipster said the monkeys 248 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: could be found in the basement of a church. What yes, 249 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: Tanya Thomas, the daughter of the pastor of the vacant 250 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 3: church spoke with local news outlets and she said, it's cold, 251 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 3: it's dark, and whoever put the monkeys in there had 252 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: to use flashlights or something. But yeah, they could have 253 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: died in there. 254 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: Who ever put the monkeys there. 255 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: She later added, and I quote people in the neighborhood 256 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: said they would see him in neighborhood walk them with 257 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 3: different animals, So we thought it might be him. He's 258 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: from the neighborhood and visited our church. That's how we 259 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 3: knew it was him. Now the hymn in question the 260 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 3: congregant that they sisted on to the police. The cops 261 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 3: eventually found their man. He was twenty four year old 262 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: Davian Irvin. 263 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: I hope that all of the animals bit his face off. 264 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: That's all I ever hope when people try and have 265 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: wild animals. 266 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 3: I know you do. I was looking forward to telling you. 267 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm very excited. 268 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 3: So under questioning, the pert put together the pieces of 269 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: this strange monkey shaped puzzle for the police, the one 270 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: that they were stuck trying to solve, and Irvin confessed 271 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: to the Dallas be d that he had broken into 272 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: the zoo late at night, he snuck into the monkeys section, 273 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: he opened the enclosures, he stole two monkeys, then secreted 274 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: him on his person, and he took his stolen monkeys 275 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: onto the dark train that's like their local, the Dallas 276 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 3: Area rapid transit train. He explained to the cops that 277 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: he did this because he loves animals. Yeah, so the 278 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: Dallas p D they have plenty of evidence that helped 279 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: corroborate Irvin's story, because it turns out folks at the 280 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: Dallas Zoo had recalled how Irvin would they recognize from sketches? 281 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: Had visited the zoo often, and he'd often peppered the 282 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 3: staff with strange questions, not the type of questions you 283 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: normally would expect questions. He was often writing the answers, 284 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 3: he was told, dutifully recording them on tissue paper. So 285 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 3: there he is scribbling in his hand on tissue paper. 286 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 3: And he'd asked questions like how do you catch the 287 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: birds and where do they go at night? Right? So 288 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 3: he also asked about the tamer and monkeys, saying where 289 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 3: can I get one? And how do y'all get them 290 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: in at night? Also how do you handle them? Oh, 291 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: by the way, are they aggressive? 292 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: What do they eat that they sell at Walmart? 293 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 3: Exactly? So all this suspect is all hell. A day 294 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 3: after he broke into the zoo, stole the monkeys, and 295 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: took them on a train trip across Dallas, the police 296 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 3: broke into the vacant church and they found the missing monkeys, 297 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 3: but no Irvin. Yes, he was spotted later by an 298 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: employee from the Dallas Aquarium. The employee worded the police, 299 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: I don't know, they have like a network or whatever. 300 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 3: The Dallas is like, that's the zoo guy, exactly like 301 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 3: the animal. They were about it.

He did that, 308 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: so he went he wanted to pet him. It will 309 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 3: get this. He wanted to steal the leopard, but the 310 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 3: clouded leopard was like, no, son, We're not doing that. 311 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: And he was like, well come on, and the clouded 312 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 3: leopards like, I am a clouded leopard. This will not 313 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: end well. 314 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: Do you not see this situation exactly? So where did 315 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: it go? 316 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: He went? He was stuck in the zoo. He led 317 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 3: it out of its enclosure and then he's like, come 318 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 3: on with me and gave him those like I will 319 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: eat your face and he was like, I think I 320 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 3: believe and he let him go, and so the leopard 321 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 3: just wandered off. 322 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: Oh wow. 323 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: Now this next one is the short one, but it 324 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 3: may be my favorite because it's so random. It's from 325 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 3: April dateline April fourth, Carrol Township in Pennsylvania. At approximately 326 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 3: seven am, the Carroll Township Police Department received a phone 327 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 3: call someone had stolen a school bus Elizabeth. The caller 328 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: said they'd heard that the Gettysburg, PA State Police reported 329 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: a stolen school bus, and well, they'd spotted it driving 330 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 3: on the road. I don't know why they know what 331 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: the Gettysburg State Police are up to at six am 332 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 3: in the morning, but anyway, the bus thief was a 333 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 3: man named Tony Saunders, aged twenty four. Now, the reports 334 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: that initially emerged, they raised more questions than they answered 335 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: because Tony Saunders had been spotted in the school bus 336 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: parking lot in the wee hours of the morning. That 337 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 3: makes total sense. But he was seen dragging a dead deer. 338 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: That makes no sense. Yew, the purp Saunders popped open 339 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 3: one of the school buses and dragged the dead deer 340 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 3: inside with him. Then he slid into the driver's seat 341 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 3: and he fired that bad boy up and he hit 342 00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: the road in his. 343 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: The school bus spotted who spotted him and didn't do 344 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: the hole. If you see something, say something. 345 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: I think it was like other people who worked at 346 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: the school bus. 347 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: Times to mind your business, Oh and there are times 348 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: to not mind it exactly. 349 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: So the cops were called by these very same people, 350 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 3: and patrol car spots the school bus out on the road. 351 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: They begun a hot pursuit. Early into the chase, it 352 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 3: becomes obvious that this twenty four year old is not 353 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: familiar with driving the school bus. He's swerving all over 354 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: the road, fish tailing the back end out. He seemingly 355 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: had trouble finding his turn signal. Because this is the 356 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: police reported quote, officers observe that the lights on the 357 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: bus were turning on and off intermittently. I don't know 358 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 3: what that's about anyway, the change of the school bus. 359 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: It lasts four hours, crosses multiple county lines. Yeah, he's 360 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: driving around with the dead deer. 361 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: For me, how do you do a pit maneuver on 362 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: a school sete? 363 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 3: Too big? I think for the cops pull it off right, 364 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 3: it's got double wheels in the back is raised. They can't. Yes, 365 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 3: you have to add speed to the vehicle to get 366 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: the pit nuver to work. But I don't know if 367 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 3: they could pull that one off. Anyway. 368 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,479 Speaker 1: You need another school bus. 369 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: You need a yeah, one schools school bus and the 370 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 3: school bus crime. So during this chase, Saunders often changed 371 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 3: lanes without reason, drove dangerously, so they were intimidated. Right, 372 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 3: the cops decided, okay, we have to a stage a 373 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: daring traffic stop, just like Elizabeth would want to. So 374 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: they attempt to guide the school bus to the side 375 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: of the road and Saunders he complied at first, but 376 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 3: this was a headfake because as soon as the cops 377 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 3: pulled over and stopped, he floored it, smashed down on 378 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 3: that gas padal and took off down the road. At 379 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: one point he almost flipped the bus going across a 380 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 3: median strip. Somehow he regained control. He kept the police chase, 381 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: going to reach the residential neighborhood, refinally stops the coal 382 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: bus and he hops out flees on foot, leaving the 383 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: dead deer behind, just like I can't carry that much weight. 384 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 3: Having given the police the slip at this point, momentarily 385 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: the purp thought he might get away with it. So 386 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 3: local residents, though they were on the case, they were 387 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 3: like you special investigators at part they give chase, They're like, 388 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 3: what are you doing running around and here at this 389 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: hour in the morning. Yeah, So the bus thief, he's 390 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 3: on the run. He decided, you know what, I look 391 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 3: far too recognizable people. They will spot me running and 392 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 3: they'll know exactly who I am. So he decided mid 393 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: run to switch things up to strip naked. But he 394 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 3: didn't stop running. He's just pulling off clothes while he's 395 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 3: running through the neighborhood. Now the police they catch back 396 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 3: up to this now naked perp. I have to assume 397 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 3: he was still wearing his socks and shoes. Oh maybe 398 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 3: I hope he was, because running barefoot on. 399 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: Payment and your pants off over the shoes. 400 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 3: Oh that's difficult. 401 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: Good point, Yeah maybe first. 402 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, good point. Had like one sock on just one left. 403 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 3: So the dude's luck didn't hold out because the cops 404 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 3: they carned down. He gets arrested. But still the officers 405 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 3: had to wonder why why did he do this? Why 406 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 3: did he make us run all this way? Saunders had 407 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 3: a few answers for them. He told the police he'd 408 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 3: been out driving that morning. He drove a BMW and 409 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 3: he crashed it. He didn't say if he hit the 410 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 3: dead deer that he was seen dragging. He just said 411 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: he crashed his BMW and then he showed up with 412 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 3: the dead deer. 413 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: Well, the deer died of copd It was unrelated exactly. 414 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 3: He's just old buddy of his is in the car. 415 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: So he did tell the cops that he planned to 416 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 3: use the deerest fertilizer for his vegetable and herb garden. 417 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 3: Back off. 418 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: That's not how that worked. 419 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's good for me. Do you 420 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 3: want deer flavored? 421 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: Well, it's just not that, sir.

So, but all of a sudden done, 425 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: Saunders was charged with fleeing a police officer, receiving stolen property, 426 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 3: eighteen counts of resisting arrest, seventy five counts of reckless drive. Ago, 427 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: I told you could not drive that school bus. Wow, Okay, 428 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 3: let's take a break. When we're back, we'll get into 429 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 3: the summer months of this year. 430 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 5: Oh, I can't wait. 431 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: Elizabeth Zaren.

But 521 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 3: this particular dui, it was so ludicrous it crossed over 522 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: the line and it moved into ridiculous territory. In May, 523 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: a twenty eight year old Colorado man tried to outsmart 524 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 3: the cops with the aid of his trustee canine best friend. 525 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 3: The driver of a Dodge Challenger Oh boy yeah, pause 526 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 3: for laughter was pulled over by a Springfield police officer. 527 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: The driver did as instructor. He pulled over the side 528 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: of the road. He stopped his car. The cop stopped 529 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 3: behind him. Then, as the officer ran his plates, he 530 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 3: noticed the driver's switching seats with the passenger who was 531 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: in shotgun. Elizabeth, the passenger and shotgun was a dog, 532 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 3: so the driver was opening the very good driver. I 533 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: guess the driver's hoping that the cop with a dog 534 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 3: lover and be like, oh, you're just let your buddy 535 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 3: drive you home or I don't know. Anyway, The officer 536 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 3: steps out of his patrol car approaches the car. The 537 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: driver now on the passenger side. He opens the passenger 538 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 3: side tore and he gets out of the car and 539 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 3: he tells the officer, unprompted, that he wasn't driving the 540 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 3: dog behind the wheel. Oh god, the officer asked, sir, 541 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 3: have you been drinking. So the driver's like, yeah, about that, 542 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 3: and then took off running. 543 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: Just started ditched his dog, ditch the dog. 544 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: This the car ran away. He made it about twenty 545 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 3: yards before the officer tackled him. He rests him. This 546 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 3: is my favorite part of the story. Yeah, there were 547 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: two other passengers in the car besides the dog. There's 548 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: a man and a woman in the backseat. And get this, 549 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: they were both sober. And no, there's more.

The officer never 552 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 3: did get an answer for why the sober people were 553 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 3: in the back and not driving Colorado. The driver was 554 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 3: arrested and the cop did the nice thing. He let 555 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 3: the sober couple take the dog and go home. 556 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: Good for them, I thought, God, what was I don't 557 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 2: even so many questions.

Dashboard bobble at the 688 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 3: moment your grass skirt is swaying with the motion of 689 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 3: the road. This makes sense since you are a fixed 690 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 3: to the dashboard of a white nineteen ninety one Ford Taurus. 691 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 3: To your right is the driver. He stares forward at 692 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 3: the flat horizon of the freeway as he pilots his 693 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 3: car eastbound on Interstate two seventy four. Seated to your 694 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 3: left and shotgun is a sixteen hundred pound wa tu 695 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 3: see bull. Three of you. The three of you are 696 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 3: out for a Wednesday morning cruise. That's when you hear 697 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 3: it the sirens behind you is a patrol car from 698 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 3: the Norfolk Police Division. Moments earlier, the police received a 699 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 3: call from a concern motorist about a car driving around 700 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 3: with a cow in it. The police from Norfolk mobilized. 701 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 3: It didn't take long for a patrol car to locate 702 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 3: the car in question. Your car now the officer has 703 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 3: the lights and the sirens on Your grass skirt and 704 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 3: hips continue to dip and sway. As the ninety one 705 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 3: fourd Taurist pulls over to the side of the road, 706 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 3: the cop steps out of the cruiser. He slow walks 707 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: up to the driver's side. You watch his approach. The 708 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 3: driver rolls down his window and he greets the cop. 709 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 3: Good morning, officer, what seems to be the trouble. The 710 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 3: cop looks past the driver wholly ignores you the dashboard 711 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 3: hula girl, and instead he focuses entirely on the sixteen 712 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 3: hundred pound African bull with the wide sweat horns. God, sir, 713 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 3: is that is that a bowl in your vehicle? The 714 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 3: driver chuckles, good naturally, Yes, officer, a watusi bull. Watusi, 715 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 3: you know, like the dance craze. His name is Howdy dooty. 716 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 3: If you want to say hi, you know, like the puppet. 717 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 3: If you could laugh, you would, but being a sun baked, 718 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 3: inanimate statuette, you remain quiet. The officer looks at the 719 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: watusie bull, Howdy Dooty, and then back at the driver. 720 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 3: You convert this car yourself, yes, sir, the driver replies. 721 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 3: The officer is referring to the fact that the ninety 722 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: one four Taurus has been modified to fit the sixteen 723 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 3: hundred pound bull. The front windshield is cut perfectly in half. 724 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 3: The roof of the car is also split and peeled open. 725 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: On the passenger side door, there is a cattle guard gate. 726 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 3: It's bright and yellow and shoved up against the white 727 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 3: of the sedan. Then the cop looks at the back 728 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 3: of the car, where there is also a long, wind 729 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 3: swept trail of fresh cowflop plastered against the rear window. 730 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 3: Oh my god, he just shakes his head, Elizabeth. The 731 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 3: whole scene looks about like this. 732 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: Wait, have a picture of this. Oh my god, Oh 733 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: my god. It's like so close to what I was imagining, 734 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: but so far. Oh my god. Wait, let me turn 735 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: it around, let me see it again. 736 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 2: Oh wow, he's way far, like way outside of the vehicle. 737 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 3: Those are big horns, I mean, not like he's got 738 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 3: bull horns on the front of the car and horn's 739 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 3: coming out of the car attached to a bull. So anyway, 740 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 3: the Nebraska cop he asked the driver for his license 741 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 3: and registration. The driver dutifully hands over his license. The 742 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 3: cop reads it aloud, mister Lee Mayer of NELI, now 743 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 3: I don't have a specific vehicular code. I can cite, 744 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 3: but I'm fairly certain you are in violation of some 745 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 3: kind of Nebraska traffic laws. Right, I'm gonna need you 746 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 3: to turn this rig around. You take Howdy Duty back home. 747 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 3: That understood. You Watch as the driver considers this. He 748 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: thinks for a moment. Then he says, would it be 749 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 3: okay if I take Howdy Duty to Omaha so he 750 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 3: can see the Henry Dorley Zoo. He really wants to 751 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 3: see the giraffes. I've told him all about him. The 752 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 3: officer looks at the old farmer. He's dumbfounded, but then 753 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 3: he finds his words. No, No, you cannot take Howdy 754 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 3: Duty to the zoo. Why would you think you could 755 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 3: take a watusi bull around in my city. Look, mister, 756 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 3: I'm trying to help you out here. I'm not gonna 757 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 3: take at you. I'm gonna let you go today with 758 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 3: a warning, but only on the condition you take Howdy 759 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 3: Duty back home and you don't bring your bull back 760 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 3: to town. You wait to hear the reaction from the driver. 761 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 3: You're certain it's gonna be fun, and he does not 762 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 3: disappoint you. You know, this used to be a great country, 763 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 3: a free country. Nowadays you can't even bring a bull 764 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 3: to town without running a foul at Johnny Law, what happened 765 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 3: to him? My America? Now you have to stifle a laugh, 766 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,719 Speaker 3: since dashboard hula girls can't actually express emotion. The officer 767 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 3: chuckles to himself. He seems satisfied. He walks back to 768 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 3: the patrol car. The driver turns to the sixteen hundred 769 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 3: pound while tusie bull and shotgun. Well, how do duty 770 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 3: you heard the nice man? I gotta take you back. 771 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 3: It's not my decision. I don't want you being in 772 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 3: a mood the whole way home like that. The three 773 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 3: of you head back, come to the farm. Oh my god, 774 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 3: right way. Let's take a little break, and after this 775 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 3: we'll get into the autumn of crime in the wintertime 776 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:33,919 Speaker 3: of felonies. This next story, Elizabeth is low key brilliant. Yes, 777 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 3: a twenty two year old man from Warsaw, Poland had 778 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 3: mastered the art of posing as a mannequin. 779 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: Oh okay, so what did he do. 780 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 3: With this rare skill? Did he stand around in tourist spots, 781 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 3: sprayed in metallic pain, entertaining travelers in the vein hope 782 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 3: that they might part with some folding money for the 783 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 3: show No hell, though. Instead he took his mannequin act 784 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 3: as somewhere far more lucrative Elizabeth, a local shopping mall. 785 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 3: But rather than perform for tourists, he did the next 786 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 3: best thing. He performed for himself. The deal was this, 787 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 3: he would dresses a mannequin, he would pose in a 788 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 3: shopping mall, and then he'd wait for the mall to 789 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 3: close and for security to go home, and then he'd 790 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 3: come back to life and rob the mall. 791 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: Wow. 792 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 3: He did this on more than one occasion, and apparently 793 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 3: after hours he'd wander through the mall. He'd steal clothes, 794 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 3: he'd pocket some jewelry, he'd go gorge himself on some 795 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 3: food court meals. Then he'd go do it all over again. 796 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 3: One surveillance image released by the cops that'd showed the 797 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 3: twenty two year old man on the floor sliding under 798 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 3: a security gate into a clothing store while he had 799 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 3: just gotten done enjoying his food court dinner. In case 800 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 3: you were wondering, well, Sarah, what does this look like? Well? 801 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 3: Got you covered? 802 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: Elizabeth, Like, the mannequins don't really look realistic anymore. 803 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 3: There's a sign here that says wrangler and then Barbie 804 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 3: just to the side of that as the mannequin. He's 805 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 3: really good, right, it looks totally believable. So that lifeless 806 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 3: man he pulled off this crime and then eventually he 807 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 3: did get caught, but for a long time he just 808 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 3: got to have a good old time by himself. Anyway, 809 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 3: You ready for another dumb one? 810 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: Yes? 811 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 3: Okay.

Have you kept up with his legal 813 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 3: a little bit? 814 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 5: Yeah? 815 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 3: Okay. So he was involved with Jolo, who is the 816 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 3: disgraced financier at the heart of the one MDB bank 817 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 3: fraud case where some fraudulent funds from Malaysia were used 818 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 3: to make the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. So 819 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 3: jo Lo is friends with Prose, and this friendship may 820 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 3: have cost Prase everything. Now he's in federal court right now, 821 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 3: facing twenty years behind bars. Now, most recently, Prose has 822 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 3: interrupted these proceedings because he is asking for a new trial. 823 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 3: Because Prose is suing his own lawyer for using AI 824 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,240 Speaker 3: to craft the closing argument for this legal defense. Facing 825 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 3: twenty years on a federal rap, his lawyer is turning 826 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 3: to AI just to come up with an argument. Oh 827 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 3: my god, an AI lawyer for a federal case. That's 828 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 3: the bleakest use of hate I can pick up people 829 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 3: look at six fingers. I'm like, this bro is getting 830 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 3: Paul Court right anyway? In light of this prause asked 831 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 3: as they said, for a new trial. He's facing ten 832 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 3: criminal counts involving money laundering, witness tampering, other financial crimes. 833 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 3: Not something you want in AI lawyer to be parsing 834 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 3: through his lawyer. Meanwhile, David Kenner allegedly quote used an 835 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 3: experimental AI program to write his closing argument, which made 836 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 3: frivolous arguments, conflated the schemes, and failed to highlight the 837 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 3: key weaknesses in the government's case. So yeah, I mean. 838 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 2: Here, I'm worried about like students, you know, using AI 839 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 2: for papers. 840 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 3: And imagine lawyers using it, and you know the people 841 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 3: who are going to use it, like the lawyers, the 842 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 3: bad lawyers. It's not going to be like the expensive 843 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 3: lawyers in this case. Actually it was an expensive lawyer, 844 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 3: which is even more worrisome. So this lawyer, he was 845 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 3: so geeked on AI he did even get a press 846 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 3: release for the company I level AI and he noted 847 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 3: in his press relief that the AI lawyer was quote 848 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 3: an absolute game changer for complex litigation. 849 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, this guy is one on the waiting 850 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: list for that Tesla truck. Oh he's that kind of 851 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: thing number seven. Yeah. 852 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 3: So the company noted that Kenner's use of the AI 853 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 3: platform was the first ever use of generative AI and 854 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 3: a federal court case. Because it's not a good idea, 855 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 3: people away, keep in mind Kennery, as I said, he 856 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 3: isn't some fly by night lawyer. He has represented Snoop Dogg. 857 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 3: But anyway, at the moment, there's no regulation about using 858 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 3: AI in place of a real lawyer. But if you 859 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 3: used AI, then you probably know you wouldn't want it 860 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 3: to be defending you when twenty years is on the line. No, 861 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 3: if your AI lawyer can't tell why human beings should 862 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 3: have six fingers, you're going to jail son Like just 863 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 3: that's it. 864 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 865 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 3: If you're wondering what Proz is on the hook for. 866 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 3: He accepted around eighty eight million dollars to introduce the 867 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 3: disgrace Joe Lo to President Obama and President Trump so 868 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 3: that Joel could make the case for the US to 869 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 3: drop its legal case against him and he could get 870 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 3: the community. The dude has been on the lamb this 871 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 3: entire time. He remains on the lamb. And with most folks, 872 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 3: they believe see somewhere in China hiding out because there's 873 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 3: no extradition treaty with the US, and they'll be like, yeah, 874 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 3: we love a guy who gives the finger to the US. 875 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 3: So word to the wise, though, as I said, if 876 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 3: you are a rapper and someone offers you eighty eight 877 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 3: million dollars to meet the presidents of the US and 878 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 3: you take that money, you go into jail, sign yeah, 879 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 3: because that person is paying you that much because he 880 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 3: expects you to wash away his crimes. If they need 881 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 3: that eighty eight million dollars to wash away their crimes, 882 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 3: those crimes are gonna get on you. Yeah. 883 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 5: Yeah. 884 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 3: Anyway, this word of the wise. So every year around 885 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 3: Halloween and the holidays, people make news headlines. We see this. 886 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's like oh it inappropriate Halloween costume at a 887 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 3: work party, or like oh, I'm the leader of Canada, 888 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 3: I shouldn't have worn that, And are like, are there 889 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 3: Christmas decorations that offend the home owners association president of 890 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 3: their neighborhood or whatever. Yeah, you can't have that right 891 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 3: the exact that's too big. Anyway, there's this story which 892 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 3: mixes up all the tropes. A Utah community came down 893 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 3: hard on one of its own after this dude erected 894 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 3: in his front yard and I grabbing Halloween decoration, Elizabeth. 895 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 5: Oh. 896 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 3: The decoration in question was a skeleton in a purple 897 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 3: wig working the stripper pole, dancing for other skeletons. 898 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: Was it one of those twelve foot skeleton. 899 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 3: No, it's a normal recular Cuman sized skeleton. But there's 900 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 3: a stripper pole erect in this guy's front yard. A 901 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 3: couple skeletons in the chairs like lawn chairs, with like 902 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,479 Speaker 3: beers in their hands and like hats on, and they're 903 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 3: like mouth open, cheering for the girl and she's like 904 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 3: up on the stripper pole upside down. 905 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,280 Speaker 1: That's amazing. This was in Utah, Utah. 906 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 3: So the homeowner, Christopher of Fujishin, he said of his creation, 907 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 3: maybe a little risque for some people, but it's all 908 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 3: in the name of fun. Now, the city of Grantsville, Utah, 909 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 3: they said, we really don't see the fun in this. Yeah, 910 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 3: And the town chose to post photos of the Skeleton 911 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 3: Strip Club on the town's official Facebook page, which to 912 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 3: me seems like the wrong answer. Yeah, but whatever. The 913 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 3: photos were attached to a warning that Fuji Shin had 914 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 3: until nine pm on October eighteenth to take down his 915 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 3: Boneyard strip club. 916 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 2: Else or did they just put it on Facebook exactly? 917 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: Did they tell him they put. 918 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 3: It on Facebook expected him to see it? At least 919 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 3: that's why the new story is painting. I'm sure they 920 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 3: probably reached out to him. I have to believe, you know. 921 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 2: The thing is like Halloween is for kids, yes, you know, 922 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 2: first and foremost, like you can have like Halloween parties 923 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: for your you know, adults or whatever, but like especially 924 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 2: in your yard, like that's for it's. 925 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: A kids thing. That's not for kids. The strippers and 926 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: the whats. 927 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 3: This is what it looked like, Elizabeth. 928 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 2: First of all, it's not even that well done. I'm 929 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 2: an expert at Halloween decorations. You are, you've seen you've 930 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 2: seen the years of all my stuff. 931 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 3: And makeshift stripper poles. 932 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean that is that is that's not good. 933 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,800 Speaker 3: No, it's not good, Bob. Now, as you might have guessed, Elizabeth, 934 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 3: the locals of this small Utah town. They also soon 935 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 3: took to Facebook to express their disappointment they're discussed with 936 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 3: their neighbor. As one local put it, I guess teaching 937 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 3: our children respect, decency, and manners has gone by the side. Yeah, well, yeah, 938 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 3: thanks Susan, But I'm glad we got that sorted. I'm 939 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 3: with Susan, but you know, you could be teaching physiology anyway. 940 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 3: My man Fuji Shin, he had his own two cents 941 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 3: to throw in. He said, if your kids understand what 942 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 3: that is, maybe the problem is not the skeleton dancing 943 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 3: on the pole, maybe something else. 944 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: Oh God. 945 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 3: I was like, bro, that's not the worst, Come on 946 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,240 Speaker 3: now anyway, shots fired by my man Fujisan. In response 947 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 3: to the city prohibiting his skeleton's trip club, Fuji Shin 948 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 3: moved his skeletons away from the corner where they were 949 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 3: too close to the city owned stop sign on the 950 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 3: corner on the corner, like basically right up using the 951 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 3: streck to stop sign. Yeah. So, instead he moved them 952 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 3: onto his own lawn, where he felt freedom and good 953 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 3: old fashioned American values should allow him to keep his 954 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 3: horny skeletons as a decoration. Anyway, few locals. They thanked 955 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 3: him for giving their town the much needed gift of laughter. Elizabeth, 956 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, who doesn't like a holiday season with 957 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 3: the happy ending? 958 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: Oh god? 959 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 3: What? Oh God? Hit flat. So for this next story, 960 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 3: you have to start with a colorful headline from the 961 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 3: New York Post. Carjacking suspect trapped in a porta potty 962 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 3: by golfer following police chase. 963 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,240 Speaker 5: Oh God, show me, bro, that's the headline. 964 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, see again the decency. 965 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 3: You ready for a banger of a story, I'm ready. Okay. 966 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 3: This man was one of four wanted criminals. All were 967 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 3: wanted in connect with a stolen car. The man in question, 968 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 3: he made a run for it and they got involved 969 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 3: in a hit and run crash. He tried to get 970 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 3: away and a Dodge Durango. The suv gets reported stolen 971 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 3: from Plymouth, Minnesota. Okay, Plymouth Minnesota cops from Glendale, Minnesota. 972 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 3: They pulled over the stolen suv, but when the officer 973 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 3: got out and approached the vehicle, SUV sped off. You'll 974 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 3: hear this over and over again, right, So the cops 975 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 3: radio ahead to other officers are like, I'm not alone. 976 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 3: So second cop tosses a spike strip out on the 977 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 3: road to flatten the SUV's tires, but the driver sees 978 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,800 Speaker 3: the spike strip hit the road and swerves into oncoming 979 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 3: traffic to avoid it. Oh good, never a good idea. No, 980 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 3: what do you think happened? 981 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: Crash? 982 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 3: Yes, head on collision, and the Dodge Durango suv carromed off. 983 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 3: The first car it hit, sped off across the grass 984 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 3: median strip, then it hit a traffic barrier and came 985 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 3: to a smoking stop. At this point, this criminal clown 986 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 3: car just erupts. People just start pouring out of its. 987 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 3: Four men eventually run all in different directions. One suspect 988 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 3: gets caught on scene. Two others they run off towards 989 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 3: a golf course. Another one he runs in a different direction. 990 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 3: The first two, the one who they went onto the 991 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 3: golf course. Yeah, they stayed hidden and obscured in the rough. 992 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 3: You know, that's like the edges of the golf course, 993 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 3: the woody area. So they're like going along in the 994 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 3: trees and the tall grass. And then one of the 995 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 3: mens he sees a better place to hide, so he 996 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 3: runs for it. He goes cutting across the fairway and 997 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 3: he darts into a porta potty and he closes the 998 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 3: door while the cops see his partner running through the 999 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 3: rough and they chase him because he's still on foot. 1000 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, seems like. 1001 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 3: It's working out great. Dude hadn't counted on two golfers 1002 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 3: who had spotted him run and go and hide in 1003 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 3: the porta potty. The golfers also spotted the police cruisers 1004 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 3: going across the grass and they're like, I bet these 1005 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 3: are related. So Alissa or Alisa Boland, a local realtor, 1006 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 3: she recalled the scene. We were looking at each other like, 1007 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 3: are you serious. That's the way he's gonna hide. So 1008 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 3: the other golfer, Adam Westermeier, he casually walked over to 1009 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 3: the porta potty and he tried the door, but it 1010 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 3: was locked. It was you know, there's somebody in there. 1011 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 3: So what he did next, it's surprised him. He was like, well, 1012 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 3: I don't know. For some reason, he decides to kick 1013 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 3: over the porta potty so that the door side was down, 1014 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 3: pinned against the ground. 1015 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: I Melissa was filming it all on her cell phone 1016 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 2: and she recalled, Adam tipped over and we heard the 1017 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,720 Speaker 2: sloshing from the porta potty. 1018 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,839 Speaker 3: That meant the contents of the crapper were spilled up 1019 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,280 Speaker 3: and out of the toilet and into the compartment section 1020 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 3: of the porta potty. The dude inside was suddenly piloting 1021 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 3: a honey wagon from the inside. Right, So the carjacker, 1022 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 3: he's staying with the blue water and all of the days, 1023 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 3: not weeks of filth from all the golfers droppings, and 1024 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 3: the man who kicked it over Western Meyer, he stoically said, 1025 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 3: for viral effect. Good luck man. 1026 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 2: See, don't record that kind of thing, right, that's just 1027 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,879 Speaker 2: something you tell in legend at about and everyone knows 1028 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 2: the story. But like, you don't want evidence because you 1029 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 2: could hurt this guy totally. 1030 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 3: There could there could be repercussions. 1031 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1032 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 3: So, well, the two golfers they waved over to the police, 1033 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 3: still in hot pursuit of the other fleeing purf. And 1034 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,399 Speaker 3: meanwhile the dude with the filth all over him, he's 1035 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 3: shouting from inside the porta potty. Now he's begging for 1036 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,959 Speaker 3: someone to come. And when the police show up, he's like, fine, 1037 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 3: that's good enough, let me out, let me out right. 1038 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 3: The police are only too happy to oblige him. So 1039 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 3: first they draw their guns, they aim it at the 1040 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 3: porta potty, and then the cops they ordered the crap 1041 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 3: covered purp to crawl out, dude, but he can't get out, 1042 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 3: so then they have to push the porta potty over 1043 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 3: so you can climb out. Oh god, so it slashes again. 1044 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 3: That's when the poop Patina Purp shouted to the police, bro, 1045 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 3: I gotmy bro. So then he crawled out and he 1046 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 3: raised his hands high in the sky. And you know, 1047 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 3: there was some serious and heated discussion about seniority as 1048 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,799 Speaker 3: the copsated, which who needs to take the purp back 1049 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 3: to the station out in the back of his patrol car. 1050 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 2: Home, you gotta call the fire department to come and 1051 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:44,880 Speaker 2: hose offers. 1052 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: That's just the only one. 1053 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 5: You know. 1054 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 2: If I kicked that porta potty over and the cops 1055 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 2: asked me about it, I'd be like, I don't know. 1056 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: He was just like running around. I saw bouncing, and 1057 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: he knocked it over himself. 1058 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 3: Maybe it was an earthquake. 1059 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 1: Because I've made clear. 1060 00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 3: Yes you will sober tongue. 1061 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 6: Huh. 1062 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 3: Well, so there you go, Elizabeth.
