WEBVTT - Kids Steal The Darndest Things! 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:05.040 Ridiculous Crime is a production of My Heart Radio Go 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.880 Elizabeth Duton. Okay, I got a question for you. Know 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.720 it's ridiculous, do I? I I know? I don't think you do. 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.320 I know everything. Okay, I've been talking about this for 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.680 some time, and I know I said it was a trilogy, 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.759 and then now I can't stop. I've got another ridiculous 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:27.319 food item. No, yes, yes, so uh there's this thing 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:34.360 called a gonog, which is a waffle based liqueur put 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.680 out by the good folks at a Goo. Uh. It's 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.879 supposed to bring magic of breakfast life to the festive, 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:48.200 disgusting drink of eggnog. Lego my hangover. So it's it's uh, 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:53.120 it's called a gonog Appalachan sip and cream, which sounds 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.440 like a euphemism. Yes, thank you. I'm over here trying 0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:00.440 to about the Dirty Martin. But they describe it quote 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.400 a decadent rum based liqueur with cinnamon and nutmeg flavor notes. 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.080 So it's it's got the eggs, which you kind of 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:14.240 associate with kids eating egosa kids food, so not for kids. Um, 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.600 not really a breakfast thing either. So this would be 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.039 like if there was like a pop tart cocktails where 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:23.040 I'm supposed to believe this is for adults. I believe 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.200 that people are going to be slamming these at sorority houses. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.240 So the press release said quote paired perfectly with our ego. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.280 Thick and fluffy waffles, maybe even topped with the dollarp 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.160 of ice cream. Ego nog is sure to help parents 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.080 lego during one of the busiest times of the year. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.319 So this is for parents to get liquored up in 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.560 the morning. Parents are like, Look, inflation is high. I 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.880 can only afford three presents for my six kids. I'm 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.640 just gonna tie on on with some egg nog home 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.720 right through the holiday. I'm gonna sit out in the 0:01:54.760 --> 0:02:01.559 Ford Explorer in the driveway, pretending the kids cannot see me. Yeah, so, 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:06.160 lego my egnog there is. That's ridiculous. I think that's 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.600 maybe even a step past ridiculous. I got to tell you, 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.000 that's not the end of my ridiculous food. You promise 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.400 the moment I find one, the moment I will share it. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:20.040 I cannot be stopped. Damn it. Fine, din't keep making 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.680 me picture they you know I used to like food. Nope, 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:29.799 not anymore. My work here is done between this and well, anyway, Elizabeth, 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.359 I've got one for you that is ridiculous. In fact, 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.480 I've got multiple ones for you. I bet you did. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.600 This is a three header. Oh yeah, so you know 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.680 how I like to go fast? Yes, yeah, okay, right, Well, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.919 and I may or may not have driven a stolen 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.519 car or two in the past. Not saying I did, 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.919 I'm just saying I may have. Hypothetically those are fun 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.920 to drive fast because it's not yours. Right now, let's 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.280 just say, well, I've got one for you today. Okay. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.520 This one is like I just love these stories. This 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.000 is a couple of kids, A couple of stories about 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.800 a couple of kids, and these kids who are driving 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:26.280 fast in stolen cars. I love this so much. This 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:32.520 is Ridiculous Crime, a podcast about absurd and outrageous capers 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:40.320 and cons. It's always murder free and ridiculous, now, Elizabeth, 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.240 Typically we focus on stories about criminal adults, all right, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.320 And we've covered some fathers and sons, we've covered some families. 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.480 We haven't really covered kids doing the criming. Notionally, I 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.120 figured it's time. Were you on sealing some records? Right now? 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.720 The day has come and my parents are willing to 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.320 face the music. No, this is not about you know. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.880 This is a ridiculous crime story of kids and stolen cars, 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.920 and it's multiple kids. Because I'm here for this, they're 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.440 just so much fun. Now, just I don't know if 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.360 I just for context will say, I want to give 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.320 you an example. This is what it's like when you 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.520 talk about an adult crime story, right, okay, just really quickly, 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.279 one day in July and the tiny town of Newburg, Oregon. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.000 This is a hamlet that's home to about people. It's 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.479 outside of Portland. It's like a suburb. It's also a 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:32.080 college town home to George Fox University. And it's also 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:37.040 the site of where Randy Lee Cooper, twenty seven year 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.719 old amateur car thief, decided to pick up a Toyota 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.280 land Cruiser and he's like a nice bet, I got 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.039 this one right. And he's like all stoked on his 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.920 stolen car and he starts trying to like tear all 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:51.360 the way through sleepy downtown Newburgh. The car's owner it's 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.280 quick to spot Randy Lee Cooper and he calls the cops, 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.800 and the cops, being that it's a small town, they 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.960 got nothing to do, so they roll out in force. 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.440 They create a drag nets. They're gonna find the stolen 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.520 car right now. Randy Lee Cooper, he gets spotted cruising 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.159 through downtown Newburg doing his like best impression of Nick 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.320 Cage and gone in sixty seconds. And the dude, like 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.960 you know, catches the attention to all these small town cops. Right. 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.400 So Randy Lee Cooper is like, oh snap, and he 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.080 decides I'm going to ditch Johnny Law. Right, so he 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.880 goes tearing off. He makes this hard turn on some 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.840 side street and slams into another car, into a Buick Regal. Right, 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.919 his stolen whip wrecked, right, the Buick Regal. It's not 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.919 looking too good, right, Randy Lee Cooper. He immediately gets busted. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.080 They cuff him, stuff him stolen car. He's going to jail. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.520 They go to check on the driver of the Buick Regal. 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.120 Her name Kristin Bega or beg it's b e g 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.440 u E. I don't know beg A so Christino, twenty 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.839 five year old Newberg local. She's the one behind the 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.520 wheel of the Bullick Regal. Right, surprisingly chill about the 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.320 whole thing. She's just telling the cop to it's fine, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.279 I just I just need to get home, and they're like, ma'am, 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.720 you were just you got slammed into Do you want 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.960 to follow the police report? Your insurance is gonna And 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.640 they started noticing that there's a reason why she's surprisingly 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.000 chill about getting hit and being involved in this police 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:14.120 chase car accident. She's drunk. She's drunk as hell, like, oh, 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.640 Kristin right, So the cops run her license and they 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.120 discovered that the Buick regal the plates. Once they run those, 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.719 that cars also stolen. So we have the cops have 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.640 are arrested a Karthie I who runs into a drunk 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.320 driver also driving a stolen caring they all get busted. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.919 That's an example of ridiculous adults in cars. Yes, the 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.039 story is I'm about to tell you so much better. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.520 I can't wait. Okay, So I'm ready to tell you 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.000 now the story of a whole different bag of crime. 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.960 How kids, Well they do it differently, and frankly I 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.880 root for the kids. You know, they say the darndest 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.560 things too, and they do the darndest crime things. Elizabeth, 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.880 you know, it's way more fun than drunk driving adults 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.480 and stolen cars anything. How about a kid trying to 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.920 drive to California to buy a Lamborghini. Okay, that sounds 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.320 super fun. Right before we get into him. If I 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.559 remember correctly, you're once telling me that you were taught 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.960 to drive when you were really young. Eight eight. Yeah, 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.760 I was taught to driving. I was eight. What do 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.680 you mean, taught to drive like they needed you to 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.480 get to the liquor store or later. This was I 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.080 was at my uncle's house. I was eight, and he 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.680 just decided, you know, I bet you could probably drive 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.680 a car. And so yeah, so we got in the 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.360 car and he showed me how it worked, and we 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.400 drove around the block a few times. Is he like 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.120 in like, are you on his lap? And he's doing 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.000 the steering wheel? You're behind the wheel bind the wheel, 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.240 got a good start. Yeah, it was good stuff. I 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.160 like to go in to visit him. So, yeah it was. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.480 I mean, obviously it's eight years old and driving a car. Yeah, 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.360 I mean, who would not love that? Why is he 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.200 so chill about ladies because he didn't have kids at 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.840 the time. Now he has kids. If I did that 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.920 to his children at that age, oh you're never going 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.520 to see him again. I wouldn't be doing this show, 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.559 I'd be dead. Didn't that funny how that plays? Yeah? Well, okay, 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.320 now as you were eight years old, when you've got 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.640 your start behind the wheel, can you imagine a five 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.720 year old trying to drive an SUV? M Yeah, I 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.000 could see it. Wow, you have a lot more confidence 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:13.720 than I do. I was like, maybe I was just 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.720 a small kid, Like, there's no way I could see 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.000 over the dashboard even if I was standing in the 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.600 challenges there. And I like, anyway, well, this kid, he's 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.640 a five year old. His name is Adrian Zamaripa, right, Adrian. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.240 He was home with his sixteen year old sister, Sidney Flores, 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.920 and she was babysitting while both her mom and stepped 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.600 dad her away at work in the family. They live 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.480 in Ogden, Utah. I'm not sure if you know Ogden, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.000 but it's like nestled up against the rocky mountains. It's 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.120 like one of those high desert type of communities. It's 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.199 a very Utah city, very old school mountaineer looking and 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.720 you know, family town. Right now, around eleven am, Sydney 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.959 lays down to take a nap. Well, young Adrian's like, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.040 bet I'm free. So young Adrian does whatever he gets 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.160 fixed in his little mind. He's like, you know what, 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.760 I need a Lamborghini. Nobody is around. I think now 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.000 is my chance I need? Well wait a second, if 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.280 you've got a kid that is this crafty, you are 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.719 not napping while babysitting that kid. Well yeah, if one 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.480 word paying attention to how crafty kids are, people off 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.319 only believe that kids do what they fear and not 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.160 what kids think they can do. And I love that. 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.760 He's like, I need a Lambo yeah. And he's like, oh, 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.559 and I know they don't sell him in Utah, so 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.600 I need to need to go to California. So's that's 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.719 just in his Mind's like that's where you're going to 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.800 get a Lamborghini. I'm not getting one in Ogden. So 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.600 he's like, okay, I gotta go. How am I gonna 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.480 do this? So he also knew what I forgot. Cars 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.720 cost money. I'm gonna need some cash. So he goes 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.800 up and he's like, this is why I've been saving. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.160 So he rated his piggy bank and he collected the 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.920 three dollars that he had saved up, shoved that in 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.520 his little jeans pocket, and then how all he needed 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.400 was the way to get to California. So he went 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.480 and he grabbed his parents car keys, like pushed a 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.800 chair up against the wall, grabbed him from where they're 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.319 hanging on a hook. And then Elizabeth, I think the 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.839 best way to convey all this is I'd like you 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:04.520 to close your eyes. Picture it. Dusty high desert, Ogden. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.320 The town is nestled up against the jutting rocky mountains. 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.360 They are like a granite wrinkle running across the state. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.960 It's mid day, still early, a little before noon. You're 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.720 in a borrowed car. You're driving your friends old bakery truck. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.240 On the side is a giant, smiling bear holding a 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.839 loaf of bread like it's a baby. The bread truck 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.120 is old and it backfires whenever you let off a 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.679 gas too fast, so you're like trying to keep a 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.880 nice even temple. Now you need to get to a 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.480 farmer's market that you promised you'd help a friend run, right, 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.199 and this one's down over in Park City, so you 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.080 gotta drive all the way down to Salt Lake City. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.880 You're not excited about the drive, so you're just hoping 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.800 you in this old ass bread truck can make it. 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.319 So put put putting along. As you're driving out of 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.959 downtown Ogden, you tak the silver suv passes you and 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.880 then urges into traffic in your lane, no turns signal, 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.920 You're like suv drivers. Suv then continues in't just veers 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.920 across your land on the on ramp. Then it veers 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.920 back into the it's original lane. Like how drunk? It's 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.680 this guys, you're wondering, you know, like is this person 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.199 that danger for me in the bread truck? But you 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.319 both merge on the freeway and interestingly, you both do 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.640 real slowly I'm talking real like bread truck slowly, and like, 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.319 what's wrong with him? Slowly? Right? So do you have 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.800 the excuse they have? No, you're clocking them. You're like, 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.079 what's up with the homie and the silver suv? And 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.079 you pull he pulls on real slowly, and it's like 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:23.880 the driver doesn't know where the gas pedal is or 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.679 like he can't reach It's just something is not right 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.000 about this driver. Meanwhile, the freeway outside of Ogden not 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.040 too busy. It's midday, about eleven o'clock on a weekday, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.080 so not a lot of traffic. It's just you, your 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.719 bread truck few tourists and some minivans and SUVs, a 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.480 few hybrids, some big rigs, and this guy is so rescued, 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.800 he just swerving across all the lanes of traffic. You're like, 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.400 what am I going to do with this guy? Because 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:47.840 you can't really get ahead of them because you're put 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.240 putting along on your bread truck and you're worried someone 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.640 else is getting into a bad accident. You really don't 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.040 know if you You almost don't want to leave them. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.360 You want to kind of like keep people away from them, right, 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.600 So you also want to see if this driver is okay. 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:06.079 So you're like, okay, come on, bread truck.

So you catch the suv and then 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.000 you look over and you see the driver. What's going 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.680 on with them? They had a stroke or something?

And he's holding onto the steering wheel 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.520 with both hands and he's got this huge smile. All right. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.079 You're just like, that's so, he's not scared, not scared 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.199 at all. Kids just cruising on the freeway.

So you 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.480 just keep basically pacing this suv trying to keep them 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.480 like between you and the media. Right, yeah, cop comes through, 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.840 traffic doesn't notice you are the suv going thirty SIPs 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.400 through and disappears. You're like, are you the one time 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.760 I needed to come? I didn't I call the police? Though? 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.679 Why didn't I call her? Cell phone doesn't work? It's 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.360 because that's why you're going to the farmer's market. You 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.160 need the bill to pay your cell phone, so you 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.040 got no you got no bust cell phone, I don't 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.880 know the TV radio and this sweet You got basically 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.920 a bullhorn and some gumption.

So as you are pacing this suv, you 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:37.080 see a second highway patrol further back on the freeway. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.760 You're like, okay, this is my chance. So you decide, 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.640 you know what, last time I had the guy foxed in, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.439 I'm gonna move over one lane and give him the 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.679 room to rome. Yeah, so you do exactly that, and 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.040 he does exactly what you think. Is the kids all excited. 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.160 He swears from one lane back into another lane into 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.319 the other lane. Cop season yeah, pulls in right behind him. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.439 You're like, dank god. And then you get backcands next 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.800 to the suv. Cop turns on the lights. The bubble 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.199 gum machine lights flare on. You're like, I get him. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:04.800 Not that you want to see the kid get busted, 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:10.000 You're just so you Also, because you know you're curious, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.079 you pull over to yes, I do, I have to 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.760 pull over and quote unquote check my load. So you 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:18.959 want to spake sure everything's okay. So you in the 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.280 bread truck pull in front of the silver suv. Cop 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.920 on the highway patrol pulls behind the silver suv and 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.640 you're not watching in the rear heard You're like, I 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.640 gotta see the cops face when he kid. So the 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.680 cop gets out of the car. He's at there on 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.680 the I five freeway on the side. You ta state 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:38.600 trooper just his belt, just his pistol holster, just his hat, 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.720 gets up and starts walking up to the car. You're like, oh, buddy, 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.000 you are in for one surprise. And right when State 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.560 Trooper Rick Morgan reaches the driver's side window, he flinches. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.760 He sees the kid. He's like, you're five years old. Wow, okay, 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.440 you hear the t troopers say, And you're like, then yes, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.360 the kid, Hey kid, where'd you learn to drive a 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.840 car like that? But this point, the kindergartener Adrian I 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.520 hopeful Lamborghini owner of the future. He has driven three 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.960 miles from his home at about an now an average 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.400 of thirty two yeah, and he has safely pulled over 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.560 on an I five freeway. And You're like, this is 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.600 the wildest morning I've seen. And I'm driving a bread 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.200 trust with a bear on the bear on the side. 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.880 Now you will manage to safely get to your farmer's 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.560 market down to Park City because you're busy, but you 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.320 know you are a busy body. But you're also busy, 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.000 so you bounce out and Adrian is safely returned to 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.120 his family after this short break. I'll tell you what 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:57.880 his family did when he gets beat. Okay, Elizabeth, last 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.120 week left you. You were put putting along in your 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.920 bread truck back to park City. You'd safely saved the 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.560 kid from the on the possible freeway disaster. His family 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:11.280 would be so thankful, hero, you are you easty? You're 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:16.440 hype yeast.

She freaks out, assumes that somebody 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.960 has come stolen the family car, her brother and taken off. 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.480 So she's like, oh my god, does she calls her parents, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.480 tells them that's what's happened. The parents rushed back home. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.240 They're freaking out. They call the police and the police say, um, 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.720 what what was the car that you had stolen? This 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.600 is so resuvated and her son is isn't well. We've 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.400 got some good news for you. We've recovered your car.

And they're like, well, we got 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.400 quite a story for you, So come on down to 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:55.360 the station. Right, this story happy ending as it has 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.680 no bid thing bad happened to Adrian. When it hit 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.240 the local press, he goes national because people see five 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.600 year old car to drive to l A to buy 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.080 Lamborghine either, like, what the heck? And how do you 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.359 think people responded when it went viral? Did everyone go 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:15.760 after Sydney? Yes, good, but my instinct wasn't. Yeah, so yeah, 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.400 everyone gets mad online about Sydney and they say, who 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.280 could leave a kid alone like that? Where would you 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:21.800 get the idea to steal a car and drive to 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.520 California and buy a sports car? How could his sister 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.560 take a nap with a five year old in the house? 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.760 What's going on in that home? Some folks even called 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.240 for this poor five year old kid to go to 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.440 jail to learn a less Oh no, no, no, no, no, 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.280 no right. I would just like to shame Sydney. You know, 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:42.560 you don't have to. That's the best punishment of shame. Yeah, exactly. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.800 I mean, come on, though you're sixteen, your babysitting to 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.080 five again, I will drive it home. Almost every five 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:52.320 year old boy is just beyond a handful and you 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.600 cannot go napping away well, you know, and especially one 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.800 who it's not like a big surprise to them that 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.080 this kid is into he's playing and theft auto or something. 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.359 Who They had never seen him drive a car or 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.919 have any interesting cars, they said, until all he had 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.960 he had one toy when he was too there was 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:09.639 like one of the little push cars you put kids on. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.480 It's the only time they've ever seen him be anything 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.560 excited about a car. I don't buy it. I know 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.439 that's what they say. But I got a little bit 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.760 for you about Sydney the sister. Okay, yeah, she said, 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.960 and I quote. The one that hit us the most 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.320 was when a lady said that she wished death on him. 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.560 These people know nothing about what goes on at our house. 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.720 They don't know how hard my parents work. We cannot 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.440 believe how many haters were out there. Someone wished death 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.720 on the boy. Yeah, that's that's who really needs to 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.159 be the focus of this. You need to find that 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:41.960 that person who I'm sure it was on Facebook. This 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.320 child needs to die, and then I'd like the walk 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.240 me through that. I think me through that hyperbolic though. 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.280 You can't go around saying these things unless you can 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.720 back it up. So tell me what's your thought process 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.920 of murdering a five year How are we going to 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.040 put the kid down? Yeah? How would you do it? Susan? 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:04.440 And like this is hyperbolic. Speech has the time and 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.560 a place. I'm a fan, but not I just disregard. 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.359 But stuff I really online is hyperbolic. And I'm like, 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.159 you don't really mean that because they wouldn't say it 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.399 to your face. No, they wouldn't, but the fact that 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.880 the thought enters their head they type it out even 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.120 if they're just being but they're just like at the top, Yeah, 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.040 I think they're just having an emotional moment where it's 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:21.360 like this is how I feel, and they're not really 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.760 thinking about You hear this and you think kill the kids? 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.000 I think it's not a good thing. I'm with you. Yeah, 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.280 wishing death upon a child online probably not your best. 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:34.800 Like a little boy steals the nest, kill him, murdered 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.320 the child? Like what happens if I don't bring my 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.239 trash cans exactly kill her. Well, I've got some more 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.119 good news for you from there's Jeremy Nevus who was 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:46.280 also reading this story, and he was like pretty much 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.080 the chillest person you can imagine who would read it. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.800 And why it matters that he read the story is 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.560 he was a thirty three year old philanthropist and local 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.960 entrepreneur who lived in Ogden.

He's like, 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.240 I want to hang out with a five year old watchless, watchless, 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:43.680
