WEBVTT - Introducing - The Burden: Get the Money and Run

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Alphabet Boys listeners. This is Benadair. I'm the co

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>creator of Alphabet Boys with Trevor Aronson, and I'm dropping

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>into your feed today to tell you about a new

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>true crime podcast that's out this week that I know

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you are really gonna love. It's a true crime story

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>called The Burden, Get the Money and Run, and it's

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>got everything you want in a great story. It's got

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 1>high speed chases, a methodical police pursuit, a murder that

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>changes everything. But it's also a lot more than that.

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Tackles big human themes about love, loss, forgiveness, all told

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>through the story of a man named Joe Loya, who

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 1>at one time was one of Southern California's most prolific

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>bank robbers. Again, it's called The Burden, Get the Money

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and Run, And it all started with this one question

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to find out the answer to, how

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>on earth does someone become a bank robber? How do

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you rob a bank? For the very first time? Then

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I met your and I got to ask him how

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>much had you plan this all out in advance? What

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>did you know going into it? How are you going

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>to go in? How are you going to get away?

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:08.839
<v Speaker 2>None?

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>None?

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 2>None.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can't just rob a bank with no plan,

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>can you.

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>What I do remember about the day is this, I

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>started ten. I walked into the first bank, and I

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>grab a slip and I write, we have a bomb,

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>just a bank cropper, and I wrote a bank robbing note.

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>And then I'm like a fucking I don't want to

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 2>do this year. For some reason, this doesn't feel right.

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I start walking away, and as I walk away, there's

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 2>like three cameras that me at the door, and I realized,

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I could have been busted, right if anyone

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>just kind of like you know, zoomed in on the

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>guy who was writing something on the back of that slip,

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>they could have seen I was trying to rob that bank.

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 2>So I wrote my next one, next note at McDonald's,

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>just run it there. And I would walk in the

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>banks and I would leave them all day long, you know,

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I would walk in and I would stand in line,

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>go a couple of steps up, a couple of customers

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>would be going, and I'd like, nah that I don't

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>got a feel for this. I'd walk in, I'd see,

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, gards, Noah, God, I swear to God, man,

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I probably nibbled a little bit of food from every

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>fast food joint available at the time, KFC, Wendy's. If

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>this was a short film, it would be a comic

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.239
<v Speaker 2>film because you would see me going in They're okay,

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. And the

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 2>next thing, we'd see me drinking coffee at McDonald's. You

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>see me, Okay, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna be

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>all fucking nerve you in there. The next scene, I'm

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>biting the whopper at work, like it would just be okay,

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 2>let's do it, Let's do it, Taco Bell, let's do it, Wendy.

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.839
<v Speaker 2>It was like fucking hilarious.

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Where were you feeling inside?

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Fear? I was just like, at this point, I'm not

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.079
<v Speaker 2>going to jail, just dandy and line thinking about robbing

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a bank. When I go do this next thing, this

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>is the real thing. So I know that on the

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 2>other side of this is a payoff, a big payoff,

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 2>because when you run past your fear, then it cannot

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>harass you anymore. On this side of it, it's a big, dark,

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>menacing curtain and it's saying try to come back here.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 2>See what the fuck's gonna happen, and you're like, I

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I want to open that curtain. Oh fuck.

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Once you open that curtain, that curtain fucking evaporates. There's

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 2>no more curtain. You can turn around, like, where's that

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 2>freaking curtain? It was menacing me. There's no curtain. And

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 2>that's what you have to do. You have to push

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>past your fear to get to the next level.

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Right now, walking in and out of these banks all

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>day staring at that curtain.

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Ah, that curtains just like taunting me, you fucking punk.

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>And I knew that I had this in me where

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I could cough up a nutsck and do something if

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I need to do it now. All day I wasn't

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>coughing up the nutsck all day. I was not calling

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>up my courage. It would just go so, we want

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>to get me so far, and then to peter out.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>But I was like this point, I was like, this

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>is We're doing it. We're doing it right now. Fuck

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 2>all the bullshit, Let's go do this.
