1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Ridiculous Crime is a production of My Heart Radio Go

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Duton. Okay, I got a question for you. Know

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, do I? I I know? I don't think you do.

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: I know everything. Okay, I've been talking about this for

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: some time, and I know I said it was a trilogy,

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: and then now I can't stop. I've got another ridiculous

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: food item. No, yes, yes, so uh there's this thing

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: called a gonog, which is a waffle based liqueur put

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: out by the good folks at a Goo. Uh. It's

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: supposed to bring magic of breakfast life to the festive,

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: disgusting drink of eggnog. Lego my hangover. So it's it's uh,

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: it's called a gonog Appalachan sip and cream, which sounds

13
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: like a euphemism. Yes, thank you. I'm over here trying

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: to about the Dirty Martin. But they describe it quote

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: a decadent rum based liqueur with cinnamon and nutmeg flavor notes.

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: So it's it's got the eggs, which you kind of

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: associate with kids eating egosa kids food, so not for kids. Um,

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: not really a breakfast thing either. So this would be

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: like if there was like a pop tart cocktails where

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to believe this is for adults. I believe

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: that people are going to be slamming these at sorority houses.

22
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: So the press release said quote paired perfectly with our ego.

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Thick and fluffy waffles, maybe even topped with the dollarp

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: of ice cream. Ego nog is sure to help parents

25
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: lego during one of the busiest times of the year.

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: So this is for parents to get liquored up in

27
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: the morning. Parents are like, Look, inflation is high. I

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: can only afford three presents for my six kids. I'm

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: just gonna tie on on with some egg nog home

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: right through the holiday. I'm gonna sit out in the

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: Ford Explorer in the driveway, pretending the kids cannot see me. Yeah, so,

32
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: lego my egnog there is. That's ridiculous. I think that's

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: maybe even a step past ridiculous. I got to tell you,

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: that's not the end of my ridiculous food. You promise

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: the moment I find one, the moment I will share it.

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: I cannot be stopped. Damn it. Fine, din't keep making

37
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: me picture they you know I used to like food. Nope,

38
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: not anymore. My work here is done between this and well, anyway, Elizabeth,

39
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: I've got one for you that is ridiculous. In fact,

40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: I've got multiple ones for you. I bet you did.

41
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: This is a three header. Oh yeah, so you know

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: how I like to go fast? Yes, yeah, okay, right, Well,

43
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: and I may or may not have driven a stolen

44
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: car or two in the past. Not saying I did,

45
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I may have. Hypothetically those are fun

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: to drive fast because it's not yours. Right now, let's

47
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: just say, well, I've got one for you today. Okay.

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: This one is like I just love these stories. This

49
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: is a couple of kids, A couple of stories about

50
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: a couple of kids, and these kids who are driving

51
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: fast in stolen cars. I love this so much. This

52
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: is Ridiculous Crime, a podcast about absurd and outrageous capers

53
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: and cons. It's always murder free and ridiculous, now, Elizabeth,

54
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Typically we focus on stories about criminal adults, all right,

55
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: And we've covered some fathers and sons, we've covered some families.

56
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: We haven't really covered kids doing the criming. Notionally, I

57
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: figured it's time. Were you on sealing some records? Right now?

58
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: The day has come and my parents are willing to

59
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: face the music. No, this is not about you know.

60
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: This is a ridiculous crime story of kids and stolen cars,

61
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: and it's multiple kids. Because I'm here for this, they're

62
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: just so much fun. Now, just I don't know if

63
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: I just for context will say, I want to give

64
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: you an example. This is what it's like when you

65
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: talk about an adult crime story, right, okay, just really quickly,

66
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: one day in July and the tiny town of Newburg, Oregon.

67
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: This is a hamlet that's home to about people. It's

68
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: outside of Portland. It's like a suburb. It's also a

69
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: college town home to George Fox University. And it's also

70
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: the site of where Randy Lee Cooper, twenty seven year

71
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: old amateur car thief, decided to pick up a Toyota

72

Speaker 1: quick to spot Randy Lee Cooper and he calls the cops,

77
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: and the cops, being that it's a small town, they

78
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: got nothing to do, so they roll out in force.

79
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: They create a drag nets. They're gonna find the stolen

80
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: car right now. Randy Lee Cooper, he gets spotted cruising

Speaker 1: you know, catches the attention to all these small town cops. Right.

84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: So Randy Lee Cooper is like, oh snap, and he

Speaker 1: They cuff him, stuff him stolen car. He's going to jail.

91

112
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: How kids, Well they do it differently, and frankly I

113
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: root for the kids. You know, they say the darndest

114
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: things too, and they do the darndest crime things. Elizabeth,

115
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's way more fun than drunk driving adults

116
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: and stolen cars anything. How about a kid trying to

117
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: drive to California to buy a Lamborghini. Okay, that sounds

118
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: super fun. Right before we get into him. If I

119
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 1: remember correctly, you're once telling me that you were taught

120
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: to drive when you were really young. Eight eight. Yeah,

121
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: I was taught to driving. I was eight. What do

122
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: you mean, taught to drive like they needed you to

123
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: get to the liquor store or later. This was I

124
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: was at my uncle's house. I was eight, and he

125
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: just decided, you know, I bet you could probably drive

126
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: a car. And so yeah, so we got in the

127
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: car and he showed me how it worked, and we

128
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: drove around the block a few times. Is he like

129
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: in like, are you on his lap? And he's doing

130
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: the steering wheel? You're behind the wheel bind the wheel,

131
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: got a good start. Yeah, it was good stuff. I

132
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: like to go in to visit him. So, yeah it was.

133
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's eight years old and driving a car. Yeah,

134
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, who would not love that? Why is he

135
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: so chill about ladies because he didn't have kids at

136
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: the time. Now he has kids. If I did that

137
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: to his children at that age, oh you're never going

138
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: to see him again. I wouldn't be doing this show,

139
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 1: I'd be dead. Didn't that funny how that plays? Yeah? Well, okay,

140
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: now as you were eight years old, when you've got

141
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: your start behind the wheel, can you imagine a five

142
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: year old trying to drive an SUV? M Yeah, I

143
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: could see it. Wow, you have a lot more confidence

144
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: than I do. I was like, maybe I was just

145
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: a small kid, Like, there's no way I could see

146
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: over the dashboard even if I was standing in the

147
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: challenges there. And I like, anyway, well, this kid, he's

00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: but it's like nestled up against the rocky mountains. It's

154
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: like one of those high desert type of communities. It's

155
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: a very Utah city, very old school mountaineer looking and

156
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, family town. Right now, around eleven am, Sydney

157
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: lays down to take a nap. Well, young Adrian's like,

158
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: bet I'm free. So young Adrian does whatever he gets

159
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: fixed in his little mind. He's like, you know what,

160
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: I need a Lamborghini. Nobody is around. I think now

161
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: is my chance I need? Well wait a second, if

162
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: you've got a kid that is this crafty, you are

163
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: not napping while babysitting that kid. Well yeah, if one

164
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: word paying attention to how crafty kids are, people off

165
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: only believe that kids do what they fear and not

166
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: what kids think they can do. And I love that.

167
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: He's like, I need a Lambo yeah. And he's like, oh,

168
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: and I know they don't sell him in Utah, so

169
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: I need to need to go to California. So's that's

170
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: just in his Mind's like that's where you're going to

171
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: get a Lamborghini. I'm not getting one in Ogden. So

172
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: he's like, okay, I gotta go. How am I gonna

173
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: do this? So he also knew what I forgot. Cars

174
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: cost money. I'm gonna need some cash. So he goes

175
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: up and he's like, this is why I've been saving.

176
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: So he rated his piggy bank and he collected the

177
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: three dollars that he had saved up, shoved that in

178
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: his little jeans pocket, and then how all he needed

179
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: was the way to get to California. So he went

180
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: and he grabbed his parents car keys, like pushed a

181
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: chair up against the wall, grabbed him from where they're

182
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: hanging on a hook. And then Elizabeth, I think the

183
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: best way to convey all this is I'd like you

184
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: to close your eyes. Picture it. Dusty high desert, Ogden.

185
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: The town is nestled up against the jutting rocky mountains.

186
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: They are like a granite wrinkle running across the state.

187
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: It's mid day, still early, a little before noon. You're

188
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: in a borrowed car. You're driving your friends old bakery truck.

189
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: On the side is a giant, smiling bear holding a

190
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: loaf of bread like it's a baby. The bread truck

191
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: is old and it backfires whenever you let off a

192
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: gas too fast, so you're like trying to keep a

193
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: nice even temple. Now you need to get to a

194
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: farmer's market that you promised you'd help a friend run, right,

195
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: and this one's down over in Park City, so you

196
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: gotta drive all the way down to Salt Lake City.

197
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: You're not excited about the drive, so you're just hoping

198
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: you in this old ass bread truck can make it.

199
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: So put put putting along. As you're driving out of

200
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: downtown Ogden, you tak the silver suv passes you and

201
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: then urges into traffic in your lane, no turns signal,

202
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: You're like suv drivers. Suv then continues in't just veers

203
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: across your land on the on ramp. Then it veers

204
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: back into the it's original lane. Like how drunk? It's

205
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: this guys, you're wondering, you know, like is this person

206
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: that danger for me in the bread truck? But you

207
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: both merge on the freeway and interestingly, you both do

208
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: real slowly I'm talking real like bread truck slowly, and like,

209
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: what's wrong with him? Slowly? Right? So do you have

210
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: the excuse they have? No, you're clocking them. You're like,

211
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: what's up with the homie and the silver suv? And

212
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: you pull he pulls on real slowly, and it's like

213
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: the driver doesn't know where the gas pedal is or

214
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: like he can't reach It's just something is not right

215
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: about this driver. Meanwhile, the freeway outside of Ogden not

00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: behind you in the rear of vie a cop coming

248
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,520

Speaker 1: I needed to come? I didn't I call the police? Though?

254
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: Why didn't I call her? Cell phone doesn't work? It's

255
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: because that's why you're going to the farmer's market. You

256
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: need the bill to pay your cell phone, so you

Speaker 1: So Elizabeth doesn't story. Yeah, I got some gumption in

261
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: a bullhorn. So as you are pacing this suv, you

262
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: see a second highway patrol further back on the freeway.

263
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, this is my chance. So you decide,

264

Speaker 1: you know what, last time I had the guy foxed in,

265
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,439

271
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: to the suv. Cop turns on the lights. The bubble

272
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: gum machine lights flare on. You're like, I get him.

273

00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: his family did when he gets beat. Okay, Elizabeth, last

304
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,120

306
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: kid from the on the possible freeway disaster. His family

307
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: would be so thankful, hero, you are you easty? You're

308
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: hype yeast. So back at home, his sister Sydney, she

309
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: woken up and she's found that he's missing. Also the

310
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: family car is missing. She freaks out, assumes that somebody

311
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: has come stolen the family car, her brother and taken off.

312
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: So she's like, oh my god, does she calls her parents,

313
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: tells them that's what's happened. The parents rushed back home.

314
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: They're freaking out. They call the police and the police say, um,

315
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: what what was the car that you had stolen? This

Speaker 1: got some good news for you. We've recovered your car. Coincidentally,

318
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: we also found five year old Adrian. They're like, god,

319
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: did you do that? And they're like, well, we got

320
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: quite a story for you, So come on down to

321
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: the station. Right, this story happy ending as it has

322
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: no bid thing bad happened to Adrian. When it hit

323
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: the local press, he goes national because people see five

324
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: year old car to drive to l A to buy

325
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: Lamborghine either, like, what the heck? And how do you

326
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: think people responded when it went viral? Did everyone go

327
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: after Sydney? Yes, good, but my instinct wasn't. Yeah, so yeah,

328
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: everyone gets mad online about Sydney and they say, who

329
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: could leave a kid alone like that? Where would you

330
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: get the idea to steal a car and drive to

331
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: California and buy a sports car? How could his sister

332
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: take a nap with a five year old in the house?

333
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: What's going on in that home? Some folks even called

334
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: for this poor five year old kid to go to

335
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: jail to learn a less Oh no, no, no, no, no,

336
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: no right. I would just like to shame Sydney. You know,

337
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to. That's the best punishment of shame. Yeah, exactly.

338
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, though you're sixteen, your babysitting to

339
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: five again, I will drive it home. Almost every five

340
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: year old boy is just beyond a handful and you

341
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: cannot go napping away well, you know, and especially one

342
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: who it's not like a big surprise to them that

343
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: this kid is into he's playing and theft auto or something.

344
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: Who They had never seen him drive a car or

345
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: have any interesting cars, they said, until all he had

346
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: he had one toy when he was too there was

347
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: like one of the little push cars you put kids on.

348
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: It's the only time they've ever seen him be anything

349
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: excited about a car. I don't buy it. I know

350
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: that's what they say. But I got a little bit

351
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: for you about Sydney the sister. Okay, yeah, she said,

352
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: and I quote. The one that hit us the most

353
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: was when a lady said that she wished death on him.

354
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: These people know nothing about what goes on at our house.

355
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: They don't know how hard my parents work. We cannot

356
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: believe how many haters were out there. Someone wished death

357
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: on the boy. Yeah, that's that's who really needs to

358
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: be the focus of this. You need to find that

359
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: that person who I'm sure it was on Facebook. This

360
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: child needs to die, and then I'd like the walk

361
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: me through that. I think me through that hyperbolic though.

362
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: You can't go around saying these things unless you can

363
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: back it up. So tell me what's your thought process

364
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: of murdering a five year How are we going to

365
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: put the kid down? Yeah? How would you do it? Susan?

366
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: And like this is hyperbolic. Speech has the time and

367
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: a place. I'm a fan, but not I just disregard.

368
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: But stuff I really online is hyperbolic. And I'm like,

369
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: you don't really mean that because they wouldn't say it

370
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: to your face. No, they wouldn't, but the fact that

371
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: the thought enters their head they type it out even

372
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: if they're just being but they're just like at the top, Yeah,

373
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: I think they're just having an emotional moment where it's

374
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: like this is how I feel, and they're not really

375
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: thinking about You hear this and you think kill the kids?

376
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: I think it's not a good thing. I'm with you. Yeah,

377
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: wishing death upon a child online probably not your best.

378
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: Like a little boy steals the nest, kill him, murdered

379
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: the child? Like what happens if I don't bring my

380
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 1: trash cans exactly kill her. Well, I've got some more

381
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: good news for you from there's Jeremy Nevus who was

382
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: also reading this story, and he was like pretty much

383
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: the chillest person you can imagine who would read it.

384
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: And why it matters that he read the story is

385
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: he was a thirty three year old philanthropist and local

386
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: entrepreneur who lived in Ogden. We actually lived in our

387
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: hum Utah, which is not too anyway. So Nive's phone

388
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: the family up and he's like, hey, how's your boy Adrian?

389
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 1: I saw the news? Or like, how did you had

390
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: our number? He's like a local entrepreneur and get stuff,

391
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: legitimate business and he's like, hey, does he still want

392
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: to take a ride in the Lambo? And they're like,

393
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: are you for real? So this cat, he's got this

394
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: Lamborghini Hurrican. He rings it over to the house and

395
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: he had a personal view because and I quote for him, Hey,

396
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: I was twelve when I took my parents car. This

397
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: kid is five. I couldn't believe it. I thought this

398
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: kid is ambition. He has no fear. This guy goes watchless, watchless.

399
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: He's like, I like that no fear kid attitude. He's like,

400
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: I want to hang out with a five year old watchless, watchless,

401
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: but he hasn't. This is what I liked about what

402
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: he had to say in the press. And he've said, please,

403
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: let's just not focus on the bed. Let's not miss

404
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: the gift and the genius of this little boy. He

405
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: was determined, willing to do whatever it took to go

406
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: after his dream. You don't want that dreaming to stop,

407
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: exactly like a true entrepreneur trying to get a little

408
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: five year olds in your car. And then the family

409
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: went with him. It wasn't just him of the kid.

410
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: How many people can fit in the Lamborghini? Not many,

411
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: but sister Sydney went with him that they took turns

412
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: of the cling onto the hood of the car while

413
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: he worked. Who were the one closest to the story?

414
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't you tell me. I was in the bread

415
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: truck giving chase if you're wondering. No charges were filed

416
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: against Adrian, so there was that. Okay, he was charged.

417
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: They did add extra locks to the family home, so

418
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: there's also that. So you know, that's good. Lots of

419
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: good news on this one, right lo Jack on the

420
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: so for comparison's sake. Let's now bounce over to Australia, Okay,

421
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: because you know they were going to be a little

422
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: bit extra while. Yeah, now we woking from Utah, a

423
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: desert state in the United States, to Australia, a desert

424
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: state on a continent. So we're in Australia. Now. We

425
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: love Australia. We've covered quite a few ridiculous crimes from there.

426
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: They come to us from that beautiful land down under.

427
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: We love y'all. Keep them coming. I have to say

428
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: I didn't really have an opinion one way or the

429
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: other about Australia when we started this show. Yeah, I've

430
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: always loved Australia. It's the Texas of the Pacific. Everyone

431
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: I've ever interacted with now is amazing and I love

432
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: them the best's telling the best thing. This story involves

433
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: some older kids, all right, so you don't be so

434
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: nervous this time. There is a fourteen year old boy,

435
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: two thirteen year old and a ten year old girl

436
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: and they are a cluster who are running the streets

437
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: criminal enterpress exactly. So one Saturday in Australia, they decide,

438
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: you know what, we've had enough of our coastal Queensland

439
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: hometown rock Hampton's boring. We need to get out on

440
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: the road, and they decide we need to get the

441
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: big wild world and see more of this continent we

442
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: call home. So you're like, let's drive across Australia. We're

443
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: a couple of kids with some free time. We got

444
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: a week off of school. So they grabbed all the

445
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: cash they had between them and they packed up some

446
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: fishing like they're like on a Huckleberry story and they

447
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: put that in the back of a two thousand four

448
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: Nissan Patrol, which is apparently an Ethan pass finder over

449
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: in Australia. So they grabbed all the cash. They have

450
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: a car the Wishing Poles, and one kid leaves a

451
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: note for his family saying I've gone across AUSTRALIAA be

452
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: back later. I love him. The kids load up and

453
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 1: boom off on the road. On walk about them. Now,

454
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 1: if you were to go full huck a bray Fin

455
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: and run away and you're like with a couple of

456
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: your friends, what would your a plan of been like?

457
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: Would you just at that age now that I know

458
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: your plan now, I don't know. I liked the whole

459
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: river life at that point I'd probably want to go

460
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: to like see like a river further up the American

461
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: River and Lazy River it on down. They drove to

462
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: the coast. In order to answer that question, I'd have

463
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: to have friends at the fair enough for me. Well,

464
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: these kids friends as they were, this gang. They all

465
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: load up and they planned to drive a thousand kilometers

466
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: across Australia and to make good time, they decide we'll

467
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: drive in shifts. So the kids are going to drive

468
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day in shifts. Were just taking turns, sleeping.

469
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: But early Sunday morning, they about round four five am,

470
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: they pull into this truck stop, the Banana Truck Stop.

471
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: And this truck stop is named for the town of Banana.

472
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: Now it's which is home to hundreds of people. Mind

473
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: you now, if you're wondering, no, Banana Australia was not

474
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: named after the popular fruit, wait zarin. If the town

475
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: is not named after the popular fruit, what has Banana

476
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: Australia named after? Thank you for asking, Elizabeth. The Banana

477
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: crime family. It is also not an Aboriginal world world word.

478
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: That's coincidentally the same. These are all great questions, Elizabeth.

479
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: According to the local press, right now, And I quote,

480
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Banana is a town of a few hundred people that

481
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: grows no bananas and is named after a dun colored bowl. Yeah,

482
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: that's the Apparently the bull is named Banana, and it

483
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: was named not after like a named the town after

484
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: a single bowl. This one ball was named Banana. And

485
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: they're like, we should name the town after that bowl.

486
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: We love that ball. And I had to look this

487
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: up because I didn't know it done. I know it

488
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: done as the verb like two done, but I don't

489
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: know it as a as an adjective. Do you And yeah,

490
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: do you know what it is? What color is it?

491
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: It's a slightish brown brownish dark gray color and then

492
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: also a nearly neutral slightly brownish dark gray, so it's

493
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: either way slightly brownish. Yeah. Anyway, So at the banana

494
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: truck stop, cashier Harry White who was not working that

495
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: night on the overnight shift, but wasn't so he wasn't

496
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: there at four thirty five in the morning when they

497
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: pulled in. But when he gets to work, he checks

498
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: the CCTV and he's like, what happened? And it's like,

499
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I'll hyped to find that these kids

500
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: have rolled through and stolen some gas. So he calls

501
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: the cops. Kids came through, the cops coming out, Harry Banana, Harry,

502
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: I got a crime on my hands. So Harry Banana

503
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: calls and the cops are like, we'll be right there.

504
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: So he's like, okay. When the police comes out and

505
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: he's like shows him the footage. He's like, you see this,

506
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,159

507
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: cool customer. Now I'm with him, to quote m c a.

508
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: I watched the footage. He was cool as a cucumber

509
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: in a bowl of hot sauce. I'm telling you, Banana

510
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: ain't seen something quite. Sometimes Harry Banana looks and he

511
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: can automatically tell these were kids. Well yeah, because he's

512
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: got that's a good grown up. It's a very good

513
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: point for us. They are some denis Ovian type people

514
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: from the South Micronesia area, and they've just said, yeah, no,

515
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: actually they were kids because they looked like kids. So

516
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: they're like sideways baseball caps and overall they're they're like

517
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: ten eleven. They're not like, you know, quite their raw bone.

518
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: They're showing growth spurs, the benefits of the well, the

519
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: one kid was like apparently like talking to other customers

520
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: there at four thirty five in the morning, and then

521
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: was hanging up the pump, as Harry White recalled, and

522
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: I quote, he turned around to his mate or passenger

523
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 1: in the car, had a small conversation which I assumed was, Hey,

524
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: they get it ready, we're gonna get out of here.

525
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: And that's when he put in the bowser and got

526
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: in his car and shut the door. It took off.

527
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea what a bowsery

528
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: And in fact, for you, I didn't even look it up.

529
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I'll just tell Elizabeth what is that?

530
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a gas pump ratchet, That's that's what.

531
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: It's a ratchet, cas pump ratchet now that's what we're

532
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: just gonna call. Yeah, I assume it's the hanger. I

533
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: don't know. So in the town of glenn And in

534
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: New South Wales, the cops spot the very particular banana Bosa.

535
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: So this banana bowser, Oh wait, where was I? So

536
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: who knows he cares? Traveling in the town of Glenn

537
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: And as cops spot the stolen car because everyone knows

538
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: look for this two thousand four Nissan patrol because the

539
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: cops have been alerting each other right at the wheel,

540
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: they see this thirteen year old right and they're like, oh,

541
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: let's give chase, and so they go after the kid.

542
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: Apparently this kid could handle speed because he ditches the

543
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: cops night. They weren't able to pull the kid over

544
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: and they actually give up the high speed chase and

545
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: they're like, look not say. It's not only the local cops.

546
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: There's also Australian Highway Patrol involved in this chase. None

547
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: of them can catch this kid. And what kind of

548
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: car they in just like a like a Nissan, like

549
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: a like but with lifted It has like one of

550
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: these like like you know in Australia you're gonna be

551
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: driving through rivers, so it has like the air pipe

552
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: that goes over the top and everything. Yeah, so they're

553
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: like ready to go into the red clay and bounce

554
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: around if they have two chasing yangaroos. Suggition the cops right,

555
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: so and the crops and I quote said, there was

556
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: a short pursuit up there with the Highway Patrol and

557
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: due to the ages of the driver and the road conditions,

558
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: that was terminated by the Highway Patrol officers and the

559
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: general duties police that were involved. They're like, we can't

560
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: keep up with this kid. Kids make it to where

561
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: they're going, which is a little town called Grafton six

562
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: hundred miles or a thousand kilometers for those outside of

563
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: the US, and I say, good on your kids. Right

564
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: at ten forty in the morning, they pull into graft

565
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: and like, hey, we made it. Get out the fishing poles.

566
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: But like I told you, the local police have been

567
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: notified all along, so they're just waiting for them. It's

568
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: not not a big town. So when the truck pulls

569
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: in there like that's get out of hey, Gary. So

570
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: they go over and the Highway patrol local cops to

571
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: send on the Nissan. The kids park it, but the

572
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: cops surround the car. The kids look out from inside

573
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: and they talk to each other like anyone want to

574
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: get out. The cops are like banging on the window,

575
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: all right, kids, get out now, all right, come on now,

576
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: and the kids are like, nah, we don't think so, mate.

577
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: They refused to get out of the car. They just

578
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: sit in the car for a while. The cops were like,

579
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: now what do we do? So they're like okay, well

580
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: we have an answer. They get out batons and they

581
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: break the windows and then yanked the kids out of

582
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: the car. But this is where it stops being the

583
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: American police story that we would be just terrified for

584
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: these things, right, and it's but the cops at this point,

585
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: the cops all shut off their their cameras came exactly,

586
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, we're going off. The kids knocked the

587
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: body cam off. I don't want to tell you know,

588
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: but at press time the story reported and I quote,

589
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: the police have yet to interview the children because they

590
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: cannot be questioned without a parent or guardian being present.

591
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: So the kids they happened to be on a midyear

592
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: break from school and they're dou back in class and Monday.

593
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: They're just like, what's the big ideal? And the parents

594
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: are like yeah, you know, like we're glad. They're okay.

595
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: So if I'm like, I start going, oh my god,

596
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: we were kidnapped and the guy jumped out of the

597
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: truck five minutes five clicks back, Yeah, thank you so

598
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: much for saving us. Now I gotta ask when did

599
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: we stop allowing kids to like leave the house, and

600
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: because like I could leave the house as a kid,

601
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: and I have to be back until it was dark.

602
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: Essentially that was usually the rule. Now is that the nineties?

603
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: Is it the early odds when we're kids no longer

604
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: allowed to just be I think it was like nineties

605
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: and there was all that scare of abductions and stuff

606
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: and the ones we survived. I guess is this also?

607
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: Is this just American kids? Like in Australia, do they

608
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: let those like kids wander the Probably still a lot

609
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: of what I don't know to imagine they're a little

610
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: bit more loose than Yeah, my understanding is that in

611
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot of other countries kids have a little more wileeway.

612
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: Here they call it free range parenting when they let

613
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: the kids kind of just do their thing, which is

614
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: kind of how I was raised. I was branched on

615
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: like I think pass free right, what's what's passed free range?

616
00:30:53,080 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Like free grazing, neglect, legal neglect? No, I mean I

617
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: think that, you know, it's definitely a generational thing where

618
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: it's wild to me. Yeah, they were kids can't like

619
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: walk to school or ride their bikes to school or

620
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: just like like you said, get home when it's dark,

621
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: and and that the parents wouldn't imagine that while they're

622
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: out things are bad or can happen to them, and

623
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: that they could handle their own st kids weren't acting

624
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: like they knew. Well now kids have like air tag

625
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: trackers on them and stuff chips behind the ear. Yeah,

626
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: and then the parents log on they can see through

627
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: the kid's eyes because they're not real children, their cyborgs.

628
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: I like your story here. That's what I hear is

629
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: going on house, so I can't tell you what's really happening. Well,

630
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: after this break for ads, we'll be back with my

631
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: favorite story of these three with kids stealing cars and

632
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: driving across country. This last one is about a girl

633
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: in Texas who wanted to your boyfriend who lived in

634
00:31:50,960 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: another state. Okay, Elizabeth, buck up, buttercup. You ready for

635
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: my favorite story. I'd like you to meet Elizabeth Robinson

636
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: of Cyprus, Texas, was near Houston. Now I'm going to

637
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: show you her picture because I want you to imagine

638
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: her girl Elizabeth right, something of a tomboy. And then

639
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: here's another one of her for it's a school photo.

640
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: What sweetie right, look at that smile? So my girl, Elizabeth,

641
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: as I said, something of a tomboy, but yet also

642
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: still very much a Texas girl. She is a you know,

643
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: big hair, closer to God kind of girl. Been all honestly,

644
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: she's like a sweetheart. And in September this thirteen year

645
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: old Elizabeth Robinson decided time to get free. So her mother,

646
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: who was named Tressa Robinson, tries to recall the local

647
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: press at the time, and I quote she had mentioned

648
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: that she was talking to a boy online said he

649
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: was her boyfriend. She started staying in her bedroom more

650
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: isolating her stuff, where she was always with the headset,

651
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: always talking. That's how they communicated through the xbox. So

652
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: her parents don't understand their gamer daughter now xbox love affairs.

653
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: That's probably not something you're familiar, right, isn't it. I

654
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: think that that's the way that a lot of kids

655
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: get around not being allowed to be on cell phones

656
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: or stuff communicators like meet me at the Xbox. I

657
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: don't know how that all work. Mike cousins, meet me

658
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: at the xbox, them log on and we'll just chop.

659
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: I'll be at the shopping mall on my xbox. Alright, Well,

660
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: bring your xbox, much like um, you know, those who

661
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: don't understand those kids hasn't understand their gamer daughter, and

662
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know what's going on with this

663
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: xbox love stuff. I don't believe it. I'm just glad

664
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: you're not watching porn, right, So well, and let's hope

665
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: he's not like thirty seven. Yeah. No, So she's thirteen.

666
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: Her boyfriend's twelve. He's age appropriating. Okay, she likes him young,

667
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: she does. It's good for her. So the parents they

668
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: do what they think is good for her because they're

669
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: worried about her being in love with this boy lives

670
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: in different stage. She's becoming withdrawn. So, trying to be

671
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: good parents, they go, what can we do to help Elizabeth.

672
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: Let's take away her xbox. I know it will help

673
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: the situation, that will probably make things better. But what's

674
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: her connection to the world. Why don't we take that away?

675
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: So I don't want to talk to my daughter. I

676
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: just want to shut it down. I just want to

677
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: deny her happiness. So so that was a bridge too

678
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: far for old Elizabeth, first year old girl. She's like,

679
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: time for me to go full on Romeo and Juliet.

680
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: So she starts coming up with a series of bad

681
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: decisions and she's like, uh, completely high on team love,

682
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: thinking about how she's going to go and get to

683
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: her man. Right, man, I made a twelve year old boy.

684
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 1: It's just all like peach fuzz and his voice. Maybe

685
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: I can't. What do you do her? So what does

686
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: Elizabeth do? Elizabeth? Well, Elizabeth tend to be pretty badass

687
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: heavy girls. She has a plan, a plan for that.

688
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: My girl, Elizabeth sick, I'm gonna get free. Here's my plan,

689
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: go see my man, my tween boyfriend, and I need

690
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: to get there. So How'm gonna get there? First? Steps first,

691
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: So she starts talking to the family. Her mother grows

692
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: a little suspicious. Elizabeth becomes suddenly very curious about the

693
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: average gas mileage of her brother's car. She just keeps

694
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: asking about it, like, well, if he's going like in

695
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: a hilly area, does he get the same kind of

696
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: gas mileage? Amazing? But the mother didn't think too much

697
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: about it, didn't put it together. And now the brother

698
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: he drove because I know you're curious about this terribly

699
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven Nissan Versa a one year old little subcompact.

700
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: I would imagine. I imagine so imagines getting thirty and

701
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: about peeking out freeway speed kind a governor on it. Now,

702
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: Elizabeth knew her family might be onto her, so she

703
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: decided to buy herself some time. Right, so she pends

704
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: a note to her family. She said, tells her parents

705
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: in the note that she's very upset. She hates school,

706
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: she's being bullied. She's practically suicidal about it, and right

707
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: now she just wants to go on her own. She's

708
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: going to go spend the night at her friend's house.

709
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 1: Right so that, I hope none of the other stuff

710
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: was true. Was being bullied, she wasn't. I mean, I

711
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: will go out and find those bullies. I know you will,

712
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: and I don't want you to out there and have

713
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: to deal with that and be that. Texas is a

714
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: big state and they take it all to find them. All.

715
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: Turns out she was mostly exaggerating from everything that can

716
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: come from reading the story. All right, She wasn't suicidal,

717
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: wasn't really being bullied. She been it is kids. She

718
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: may have been bullied pathological to the point where she

719
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: was desponded. She's looking around, she goes, you know what

720
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: this sucks? Yeah? It was one more like I hate

721
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: being a thirteen year old girl in high school or

722
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: junior high, which I think a lot of girls can

723
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: really everyone can relate to that. Hated being a thirteen

724
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: year old girl. It was tough on me, Yeah, it was.

725
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: So Elizabeth's like, Okay, I have my plan. I got

726
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: my brother's guess my always worked out. I'm just gonna

727
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: take his car. It's a year old car, should make

728
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: it to the state. I need to get to another thing.

729
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: Elizabeth's love logistics, logistics exactly, so she's like, now, also,

730
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to need funding. So she's like, my mom,

731
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: she got that debit card, so I'm just gonna sw

732
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: I bet my brother's car keys, grab those you like,

733
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: you like, and boom She's off drop hops in. The

734
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: car drives away that night, headed to Kentucky. Her mother

735
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: discovers her missing the next morning, which she goes to

736
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: wake her up. Knock knock, knock. It is a bit

737
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: time for breassist an xbox and box sitting there you

738
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 1: remember this. So she finds the note, freaks out, calls

739
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: the family where she says she's staying over the friend's house.

740
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: Were like, she didn't come over and then now she's terrified, right,

741
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: so she's like, what are we gonna do. They phoned

742
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: the police right panicked, doesn't know what to do. The

743
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: police were like, we'll find her with she probably ran

744
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: off and she's like, no, you don't understand. Her boyfriends

745
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: lives states away, and they're like, oh, that that could

746
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: be bad. So there, do you have any idea where

747
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: her boyfriend lives with the parents, and they go when

748
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: they check her messages or xbox whatever messages the xbox

749
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: and then they find in her email that her boyfriend,

750
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: whose name is Dylan, he lives in Hodgens, phil can

751
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Hockey and that's where Elizabeth is on her way. So

752
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: now they know where she will arrive. I don't know

753
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: where she is. She's like a Heisenberg's uncertainty of runaways.

754
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: So she left her house in Texas and around nine

755
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: pm on Wednesday night got it okay. Her family phoned

756
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: the police Thursday morning. How old the cops begin tracking

757
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: any use of the mothers stolen credit card? That's the

758
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: best time they have to go, right. Of course, Elizabeth,

759
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: being a kid, doesn't think about that, so she pings

760
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: the system when she gets gas in Henderson, Texas. That's

761
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: on Thursday midday. Later that same day, around two pm,

762
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: she's spotted driving through Hope, Arkansas. So now they're doing

763
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: a multi jurisdictional alert for this missing kid. Right, So

764
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: it's an amber alert placed on them pretty much all

765
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: of the local authorities from the multi state area. Right, Hope, Arkansas.

766
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: Isn't that Bill Clinton's birthplace? I'm glad you mentioned that. Yes,

767
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: the birthplace of former President Bill Clinton. Why and former

768
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: presidential hopeful turned banjo appreciator Mike Huckabee. Well, there you go,

769
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: they're both from hell Hope. Around that same time, when

770
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: Elizabeth is breezing through Hope, Arkansas, a Tennessee state trooper

771
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: receives this amber alert, this multi jurisdictional alert, and it's

772
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: Trooper Dwayne Stanford. He's like, he plots Elizabeth's progress on

773
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: his map, he clocks the time that she was making

774
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: and he's like, draws a circle around the screen and

775
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: he's like, Okay. He calculates it if she kept the

776
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: same pace, didn't stop anywhere to get gas, didn't stop

777
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: anywhere to sleep, didn't have to meet any friends, she'd

778
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: be passing by him sometime around ten pm and eleven

779
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: pm that same Thursday night. So just before ten pm,

780
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: he pulls into a speed trap spot. He prefers in

781
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: the medium strip of Interstate forty, the big freeway that

782
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: goes cross country, and he's like, okay, let me just

783
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: wait for this Nissan Versa to go rolling pass. Ain't

784
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: many of those in Arkansas. He's all polishing his spike strip,

785
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: shining work on his pit move in his head. So

786
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: Trooper Dwayne has got it all calculated and true to

787
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: his his math. At ten twenty four, Elizabeth goes zooming passed.

788
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: He's like, look at that headed right to Nashville. So

789
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: Herbert Dwayne throws on the lights, chases after her floors.

790
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: It gives chase and she's like, oh no, And the

791
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: thirteen year old does as the bubble gum lights and struck.

792
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: She pulls over And at this point, Elizabeth, how far

793
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: do you thinks she has driven this other Elizabeth? She's

794
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: in Arkansas at this point, she's just outside in Nashville, Tennessee,

795
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: Tennessee state. She's got to get to Kentucky's are he's

796
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: coming from Cyprus, Texas. I would say it would be

797
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: yea big yeah, I don't know. It was a big

798
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: seven ninety miles. She had driven by herself straight. Is

799
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: she wearing an astronaut paper? I've tried to drive that

800
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: kind of pretty much, right, She's like, I'm headed down

801
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: to where's Nassa? Oh? What's the town'st Alabama and houston Ville.

802
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: So the Elizabeth, I'm not sure you've ever tried. I've

803
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: driven twelve eighteen hours in a row. Your but goes now,

804
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: Chad starts to wander, your eyes goes to cross. It

805
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: is really cheap. Ten like it's okay for me. Ten

806
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: is when like it hurts when you get up to

807
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: stand up? Yeah, let's be frank, I start sundown. And

808
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: so she was pulling an inordinate amount of energy out

809
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: of her body, a little thirteen year old body to

810
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: get to her man. Right now, she's likely exhausted and

811
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: being powered entirely by teen love at this point and

812
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: hormones and hormones A right tired? Is she must have been.

813
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: The state trooper pulls her over. She's like panic, but

814
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: not like mean or scared to cry, and she's like,

815
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: how did my parents call you? It's just all matter

816
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: of fact about her right, And she's apprehended without incident.

817
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: The cop doesn't rough her up, doesn't get injured. He

818
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: does the arrest of her own safety and the cops

819
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: then take her in and they contact her parents. Her

820
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: parents are so relieved. So what was her man Dylan

821
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: doing this whole time? Cleaning his room in a flying

822
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: more axe, body spraying, finishing his paper out so we

823
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: had some money to take them out of Her tween

824
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: boy friend Dylan was staying home because when they talked

825
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: on the phone, he told her, I don't think it's

826
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: a good idea. Is a good influence? Yes, exactly, she

827
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: goes in every relationship you need, but the one is

828
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: the wild one and the one is the logistical one.

829
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: But so you have the thing of like they're both

830
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: in their minds. This is like the most passionate earth

831
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: break love where she will drive through the night for me,

832
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: I will drive through the night. And it's so serious.

833
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: I can't wait to fast forward, like fifteen years with them, Dylan,

834
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: Lizzie's come here, let's look at this. Let's let's talk

835
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: about this. What do you all remember? Do you have diaries? Now?

836
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: The best part of the story for me, they have

837
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: this show. This is your diary. You're welcome kids, my

838
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: favorite partment. I was reading this story is the part

839
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm about to tell you the end. Okay, that's my favorite.

840
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 1: It's not it's not just the end, but it's how

841
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: this story ends. Okay, Okay. So Dylan, he was sitting

842
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: there waiting and can tell Uckey and Hogdenville's you know,

843
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: and he doesn't leave his house and he told her,

844
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a good idea, baby, for

845
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: you to come this way or whatever. He said. Now

846
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: she gets arrested, and he doesn't like, you know, Dylan

847
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: doesn't merely find out because the cops don't call Dylan,

848
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: they just call the parents. But the parents when they

849
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: find out the dad, Elizabeth dad, the one who decided

850
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: got to take away this xbox right, the old Texas

851
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: dad taking away the xbox, doing us right for his daughter.

852
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: He drives from Texas the eight miles to get to

853
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: Nashville to pick up his daughter. And you would think

854
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: when this Texas dad gets here, he's gonna be furious,

855
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: when he's gonna read her the ride up one side

856
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: of down and down the other right. Instead, he does

857
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: not scream, he does not shout. He shows up and

858
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: he smiles. He goes, where's my baby girl? And then

859
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: when he sees her, So, baby, you're okay, and she's like,

860
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm dumb. I'm sure, Daddy. She's like, you he really

861
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: scared us, baby girl, and she's like, I'm so sorry.

862
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: By the daddy, He's like, well, we need to get

863
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: you to Ogdenville, Kentucky, don't we, And he drives her

864
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: the rest of the way so she can go and

865
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: meet Dylan for the first time because he had to

866
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: make like I broke all up, I'm gonna put you

867
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: two together. And they never met face to face and

868
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 1: he drove his girl. So that drive from Nashville to

869
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: Ogdenville must have been a sweet one for the two

870
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: of them. Oh yeah, But was it like an episode

871
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: of Catfish when they get there and they see each

872
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: other in real life? Oh wait, you know what, you

873
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: don't look like that team. I believe it was love

874
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: at first sight, moon eyes, hearts in their eyes, like,

875
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: I hope so. Yes, I believe that they were romantic.

876
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: Yes I am. I am the most romantic here going.

877
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: I just hope neither one of them hurt the other.

878
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: Dylan's forty six years old. It turns out he's actually married.

879
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: He's got a twelve year old son who's been using

880
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: his photos. No, Elizabeth, this Elizabeth, We're gonna give her

881
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: the sunshine the rainbow that I believe in, which is

882
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: the dad took them there, and the two of them

883
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: the first they went and they had a Sunday and

884
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, talked about Xbox well, and the dad got

885
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: over his fears that you know, we operate out of

886
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: fear and that turns into anger in those times. And yeah,

887
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: so what's our ridiculous take away. We got to lower

888
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: the driving age. We got to start issuing licenses way earlier.

889
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: People always want it later. I'm like, no, no, I

890
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: see the way these grown folks are driving around here.

891
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: Knock it down a little bit, and also maybe knock

892
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: it down and bring it down to I think like

893
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: we're like if you're like ninety five, Like, look, we're

894
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: letting twelve year old drives, so you can't be on

895
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: the road. I just think we need to be more stringent.

896
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: If this girl, if this Elizabeth could like get in

897
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: the car and hammer down and be safe about it,

898
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: like go ahead. Yeah. My farm family, they all grew

899
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: up driving like the truck to town to the seed

900
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: feed store or whatever and then back because there's nothing

901
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: on the country road, so it's really what you expected

902
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: the children. But then also there are the conditions of

903
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: a country roads very different than driving on you know

904
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 1: MLK in Oakland. Well, and this is also going to

905
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: get back to something I harp on all the times.

906
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: We need better public transportation infrastructure in this in the country.

907
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: Good point. She could have taken a train that would

908
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: have been super romantic, where she would get on the

909
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: train and then she'd listened to some like singer songwriter

910
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: Indie Rock with her head resting against the window and

911
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: write some poetry about the whole thing. And then Dylan

912
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: could be waiting at the train station could listen to

913
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: Tracy Chapman talk about a fast car instead of having

914
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: to drive one. You don't have to live these things out.

915
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: And then a little one, the five year old, he

916
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: could have just gotten on a train like little Paddington. Well,

917
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: my ridiculous takeaway, Elizabeth, and thank you once again for asking.

918
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: You're so welcome. The kids are going to do what

919
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: kids do to right, and which is that they overestimate.

920
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: And I as a kid beforemer kid, I know this

921
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: is definitely true of me. You overestimate what you're capable,

922
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: and I still do that as an adult. But regardless,

923
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with kids, it's best not to imagine

924
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: what you think they're capable of, but rather focus on them,

925
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: pay attention to them, and go, what do they think.

926
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna do, that's what exactly. It's so

927
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: skewed well, and also a lot of this could have

928
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: like you just talked to the kids. My god, Yeah,

929
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: that's another one. Maybe talk to your talk to the kid.

930
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: Kids are fun to talk to. Talk to them, they

931
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: say some crazy stuff. It's awesome, the best, and they

932
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: love trains. Next on Ridiculous Trains. Well, thanks for listening.
