In the morning on March two thousand eleven, 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.920 a sixteen year old boy named Max Wade repelled down 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.200 into the British Motors dealership in San Francisco. It's a 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.600 luxury auto dealership. They have fatly lambos lotuses like all 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.320 those nice big cars.

He looks around, he 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.440 goes m which one should I take? He doesn't choose 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.880 a Bentley, doesn't choose a Lotus, doesn't choose any of 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.240 the cars you would expect him to take unless you 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.640 knew that there was one particular car in the showroom, 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.760 and you would know that's the car he's gonna take, right, 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.440 So instead, sixteen year old Max Wade decides to steal 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.759 the yellow and black two thousand eight Lamborghini. Guillardo Spider 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:43.800 valued it over two hundred thousand dollars. Yellow and black Lamborghini. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.000 Oh yeah, yellow and black like a like a high 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.000 speed bumblebee. Yeah. But do you know why it was 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.360 yellow and black because it had a very unique owner. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:58.840 The owner you know him as Guy Fieri. Yes, Max 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:03.680 Wade stole a Guy fee Eddies lamboy, and not only that, 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.800 he gets away with it. For the next few days, 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.400 he's driving Guy Eddie's Lambeau all around the Bay Area. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.720 Six year old boy the audacity. Oh yeah, and this 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:18.520 crime that's just the tip of this ridiculous iceberg. So 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:40.560 get ready for a good one. I'm ready, all right, y'all. 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.399 This is Ridiculous Crime. A podcast about absurd and outrageous capers, 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:52.760 heists and cons. It's always murder free and ridiculous. I'm 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.560 Zarin Burnett, I'm Elizabeth Dutton, and we are here to 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.800 hit you with the ridiculous. Okay, Now you know how 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.120 two thousand eleven was only like ten years ago? Was it? Yeah? 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.320 Ten years ago a full decade, but in more ways 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.440 than time, it was very much a different time. Back down, 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.840 just to give you a sense of the culture. In 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.240 two thousand eleven, Harry Potter and the Deathly House is 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.840 the most watch movie of that year, huge blockbuster. Right. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.320 Also we have Transformers, Dark of the Moon, the Twilight 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.040 Saga Breaking Down. These are the one, two, and three 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.760 most popular movies. Now number four or five and six 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.320 are The Hangover Part two, Pirates of the Caribbean On 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.880 Stranger Tides, Fast five of the Fast and the Furious Movies, 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:38.200 and lastly at the seventh spot is Cars Too. Now 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:39.880 do you know what all those movies have in common? 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:47.800 Gritty realism only if you're friend, intense character study, amazing 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.400 acting work. No, all of those movies have one thing 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.240 in common, which is they have teenagers changing the world 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.400 if you think about it, right, Pirates, Breaking Dot whatever 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:04.600 the light movies, transformers, young people totally other ones, criminals 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.440 getting away with it super fast. This is the swirl 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.560 of culture spinning around young adolescent Max Wade. It is 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.920 a wild and reckless time. Now we live in a pandemic. 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.799 We don't think being reckless is cool anymore, not Max Wade. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:26.919 So picture it. Max Wade is on the roof of 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.680 the luxury car dealership. Now he lifts open the rooftop 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.720 like hatch, fixes his rope and he repels down to 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:42.960 the floor of the car dealership just like that. Now 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.640 he's in there in the show room like an adolescent 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.920 cat burglar, and he's like, Okay, I'm gonna no wait. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.560 You have to also keep in mind with this kid, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.880 Max Wade. The kids sixteen, He's never repelled before. This 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.359 is not like some kid who grew up on the 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.719 side of a mountain. He was like working with rocks. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.960 Looked it up on Google. He just looked over what 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:07.040 did he google? Oh dude, he Google's Mission impossible style. 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.799 Repelling literally's like why did Tom Cruise do that? Time? 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.200 You know? But that's the confidence of a sixteen year 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.080 old boy. They're like, I can do what Tom Cruise 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:21.719 did in that movie. I'm gonna go in and get 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.400 me one of them, guy Fiery Lambo's I don't know 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.400 why he sucks like that because he's from Marine County 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:32.360 at all. He was feeling a little bit of sauce. Spicy. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.680 Oh yeah, like extra sauce. I mean, the boy was 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.440 basically he's just like a walking dipping sauce. This kid, 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.560 he's just flavored. Guy here, he probably would have like 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.760 donkey sauce. Oh, it starts already, it's already okay. So 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.480 this kid he breaks in, he's walking around the show room, 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.200 takes hi about fifteen minutes to get to his like 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.760 lay of the land. And then now the detectives who 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.200 have watched the surveillance video, they noticed that he seems 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.080 to be talking on this like two way radio. He's 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.359 all secrets of his front door to patio coming in, 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.599 brandigade coming in, brandigade coming in. But he's just talking 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.840 to himself. Well, we don't know that because there was 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.680 a janitor who was working. This is like four thirty 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.800 in the morning. Now, most of the times janitors that 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:15.880 this showroom don't show up to like five six in 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.440 the morning, right, this guy is there way before his shift, 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.240 which is way suspicious. So these two don't interact them. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.680 But then again, maybe that's the need for the radio. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.000 Maybe the janitor is his lookout. We don't know, because 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.960 get this, after the break in, janitor disappears, never to 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:37.840 be seen again. Wait, like missing persons go on, just cuts, 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.320 doesn't come back to work, doesn't get his last check, 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.000 nobody ever sees him again. What if he was like 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.760 one of those stowaway people who like climb into the 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.560 wheel well of a plane and then it takes off, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:54.120 but he was actually like underneath the Lamborghini and then 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.440 Max drove off and he's just like little bits of 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.520 him are up and down the highways. That is terrific 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.440 to pick. Yeah, but it explains it. It does explain 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.440 that right on that the logic is next. Next, so 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.280 our boy Max Wade, he sees this yellow and black 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:21.000 aforementioned guy Fieri Lambeau, so of course that's the car 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.400 he's gonna take. He breaks in, which, by the way, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:28.360 he had also googled how to break cars. So you 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.840 can learn anything on YouTube. I'm telling you, between YouTube 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.360 and Google, there ain't a single thing that you can't find. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.200 I can you have like a I don't know, nineteen 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.560 sixty seven Toyota land Cruiser and you need to change 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.320 the spark plugs. Check YouTube. There's gonna be somebody. They're going, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.520 here's my nineteen sixty seven, and I can change the 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.640 spark book. It's amazing and it's also good for sixteen 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.240 year old criminals. Perfect. So Max Wade gets his full 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.200 on YouTube education and manages to get this car out 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.040 of the dealership. He cuts through the locks, he disables 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:01.480 the security, he opens the roll top door, and he 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:06.120 drives right out of the One Man Crimes. Max Wade 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.000 is no joke, but oddly, my man Max Wade. He 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.920 leaves behind his bag of tools. Now his tools are 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:20.120 belt cutters, I'm sorry bout cutting some belts, spenders, snippers, 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.440 and his bag of tools he has bolt cutters, a 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.720 prye bar, climbing gear, and of course the rope that 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:32.480 he used to repel. Now, this kid, although seems like 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.400 he's kind of reckless and kind of forgetful, he still 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.280 is able to pull off like basically the crime of 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.839 his young century, and he gets away with it by 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.480 I don't know, like five am. He's on the road 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.160 gone and at that same time, you gotta wonder, where's 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.200 Guy Fiery. What's Guy Fiery doing? I mean, I know 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.000 I always think that, but what do you think he's 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.760 doing at that time? Well, I would have to check 0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:02.239 my surveillance camera of him. Yeah, he's probably like snuggled 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.000 in bed, just tucked away, dreaming of fried goods, just 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.760 dripping donkey sauce on his chest. He was asleep in 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.800 a vat of donkey sauce. He sleeps on a like 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:17.760 a pool noodle floating and in a bowl of donkey 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:22.120 sauce on a waterbed filled with doncus. No, actually he 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.280 was in Chicago. Oh yeah, he was filming s pretty 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:30.400 much the same thing. Yeah, Beantown, So they just have 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.160 that big bean anyway, putting that aside, So Guy Theories 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.959 in Chicago, he's filming his show Triple d Diners Drive 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:43.440 ins and Diners drive ins and dive. Dash cams close. 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:45.680 Let me see I get this right. The third time 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.160 Diners drive ins and dives. There we go. Okay, So 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.240 he's filming in Chicago. But because he's like on set, 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.320 he's like busy doing his thing or like I don't 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.320 know what Guy Theory considers busy but whatever. He's in Chicago. 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.120 He gets a phone call. It's his friends. Now, his 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.360 friends are like, hey, man, are you in town? I 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.640 just saw your Lambeau cruise by. He's all new it 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:11.679 broish Chicago filming diners, drive ins and dib is. They're like, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.840 this isn't and then I like really quickly hang up 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:20.160 long number. So he's getting these calls from his friends. Now, 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:21.840 what do you think Guy Fieri has to say to 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.360 his friends about that? You know, do you think he's like, oh, thanks, guys, 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.040 I really appreciate you looking out for me. I love 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.719 that car. It seems like he's got like a lot 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.120 of good friends, and so I was probably thinking like, wow, 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.360 good looking out good guy. Right, So he's thinking, my 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.839 friends are looking out for me. No, Instead, and I 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.400 quote Guy Fieri said, we would get calls all the time, 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.199 and I mean all the time. I had friends call me. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.640 He would say listen, I just saw your car on 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.679 the freeway. And I was like, believe it or not, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.800 there's more than one yellow Lamborghini convertible, probably in northern California. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.840 If people would call and we get reports and my 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.240 attorney would hear about it, well, come to find out 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.760 he was driving it. Brief kid, Oh my god, it 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.160 felt like Guy Fiery was right here in the room 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.839 with us. Could you heal the presence? I was just like, 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.040 I was so confused. I was like, I am looking 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.719 at you, but I'm hearing Guy Fiery. I channeled him 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:16.280 so much that my hair is starting to spike. Chills. Chills. 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.959 So back to Oro thief Max Wade. He bolts out 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.199 of San Francisco, takes the Lambeau out of the show room. 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:28.240 People are seeing him. He lives in Marin County, which 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.280 is not far away from Santa Rosa, which is where 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:32.920 Guy Fiery grew up and where a lot of his 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.440 friends are. And also he has friends down in the 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.959 Bay Area. So this dude is driving this car around 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.040 where a bunch of Guy Fieri's friends could see him 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.480 at any given time. But also the fact that he's 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.200 from Marine County would suggest that this kid is a rich, 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.400 spoiled bread Yeah, pretty much. Odds on, odds on, right, 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.000 I mean, like, we both grew up in the Bay 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.960 Area enough that we know those Marine County kids. Yeah, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:59.120 this kid, he ain't what you picture. Interesting. Yeah. Now, 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.120 so he's driving around other than the fact it's a 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.520 yellow and black car, the Lamborghini, the Guy Fieri. There's 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.520 one other way that you could know that this is 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.319 Guy Fieri's car. If you're in the know, he has 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.000 a custom license plate to let you know this is 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.200 Guy Fieri's car. Now, can you guess what Guy Fiorry 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.440 would put on his customer No, I really cannot. I 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.440 just can't. I don't have it in me. It turns 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:28.080 out he has the letters g U y t O 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:33.920 r O Guy Toro. Ultimately he has the Italian for 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:39.480 guy Bowl. Well, isn't that the Lamborghini logo Gallardo? Yeah? 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.120 But yeah, the Lamborghini. No, that's a horse. The Lamborghini 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.280 is the horse. Which one is the bull? No, the 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:49.560 Ferrari's the horse. Yeah, the Lamborghini the bowl. You know 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.600 what I'm going to have to tap in and ask 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:57.040 super producer Dave can set the right, Reverend Dave Kusten, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.720 can you answer this question? I'm going to have to 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.959 look to us up here. Let's see it is in 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:07.679 fact a ball is a bowl. It's a It's like 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.320 it's kind of jaunty head turned to the side, like 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.120 it's going to attack something, not at you, but next 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:21.959 to you, but very virile. Huh yeah, very muscular. Yeah, 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:24.880 it's like looking at Guy Fieria just be four legs, 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.720 yeah exactly. If you imagine the Wall Street ball, it 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:33.360 looks a lot like that. Oh okay, yeah, I win. 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:38.240 There you go one for dotton. Okay. So back to 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.840 my man, Max Wade. He knows he's got to get 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.640 rid of this because it's going to be an indicator, 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.079 So he swaps out the license plate and he uses 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.480 one that he'd already taken from an audi He had 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.560 stolen a license plate off and Audy pretty much getting 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.800 ready for this heist. So he's now it's six fifteen 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.520 in the morning on the morning he steals this car. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.800 He swapped out the license plates, He's going to be 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.000 pretty much in the clear, and that is why everyone 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.920 is able to see him driving around. He's pretty much 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:06.560 gotten away with it well at first. Turns out his 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.200 luck will not hold, not because he's not a good criminal, 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.559 but because he's a teenager. Max. Yeah, and I'll just 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:18.120 tell you this much. It has the flavors of a 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.160 Romeo and Juliette love triangle if you threw Guy Fiery 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:28.800 in it. But We'll be back after a short break 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.760 and I will tell you all about the weird love 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.680 triangle of Guy Fieri, my man Max Wade, and that 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:58.680 yellow and black Lambo. Okay, so we got Guy Fieri 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.240 getting calls from his friends whenever they spot this yellow 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.080 and black lambo cruising around the Bay Area. Right, he's 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.360 got this nuclear yellow paint shop. It's I mean, it's 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.400 impossible to spot. In fact, the police are convinced this 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.880 will be the one thing that will help them find it. 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.240 How could anyone miss it? All that too, is just 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:15.960 wait for people to start calling in. I saw this 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.960 teenager and a yellow Lambo. Turns out, even though the 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.040 kid is driving it around, nobody can actually take a 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.160 photo of him and send it to the police. Nobody 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.040 can get a tip fast enough to say where he is. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:35.080 I mean, because people were mining their own business for once, 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.880 people reminding the own business. When Guy Fiery gets to fallow, 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.040 people are like, I'm turning away, not my business, no, 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.200 I ke I t s. I love guy theory. I'll 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.040 stand up for that guy. If you can throw up 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.120 a bar fight and Guy Fiery is getting his butt kick, 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.280 I'm stepping on a guy theory side. I'll take a 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.640 blow for him. I like, he's a good dude. He 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.920 does all kinds of stuff, so as I tease him, 0:15:55.160 --> 0:16:00.040 keep that in mind. So exactly well, we all know 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.440 who Guy Fiery is for the most part, or at 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.760 least we know the caricature of Guy Fiery with the 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:09.800 bleach blonde hair, the bowling shirts, the flames, the hey bro. Right, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.760 what do we know about Max Wade? Remember I told 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.920 you he's not a rich kid from Marinne County, So 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:19.360 what's his deal? He lives in Marinne County and he's 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.720 a proficient googler he is tell me more, he's not 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.000 a tech kid, though he's good at tech, but he's not. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.200 What's what's the story with this kid? He comes from 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.680 a home that I can only say was challenged. So 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.680 Max Michael Wade was born to these young newlywed's right, 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:42.640 they have him. It's they start raising him, but they 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.160 quickly run into trouble between the two of them. His 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.000 mother has to call the police, tries to get restraining orders. 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.520 The father and the mother both filed for divorce against 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.040 the other. It gets bad, and it's so bad that 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.400 at one point Max has to step in when he's 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:02.560 about ten to stop his father from beating his mother. God. Yeah, 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.240 the father has a towel and he's like trying to 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.200 choke the mother. So a little ten eleven year actually 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.480 I think he's eleven. Eleven year old Max Wade steps 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.040 in and basically stands up to his father, protects his mother, 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.520 and it becomes something of a criminal bomb mitzvah. It's 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.360 when he becomes a man and a criminal. He will 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.040 not take guff or lip or orders from anybody who's 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.280 given him some bs he doesn't believe in because of 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:29.000 that relationship with his father is what psychologists the trajectory 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.560 of his life changes in that moment. Oh boy does it. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.320 So that's a lot of people would say was probably 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:39.040 his origin story moment. Right. So this kid he then 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.520 has to, as I told you, it becomes an adult. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.600 He has to go and testify against his father in 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.560 a trial. Oh yeah. So that doesn't work though, because 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.720 the trial ends in a hung jury. He goes in there, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.359 breaks open his heart, tries to protect his mother, and 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.760 it doesn't help protector. The father gets by on a 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.280 hung jury. So he learns that justice is not always just. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.399 So these are his early lessons. And that's why I 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.480 kind of pulled from a man Max Waite. I gotta 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.800 feel bad for this kid. You'll hear why later on 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.880 why that can be a little bit dicey. So anyway, 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.280 back to Max Waite, He's bouncing around schools and he's 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.159 in Catholic school. He gets kicked out because he was 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:22.040 like defacing property. He's then he gets over to Delmar 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.399 Middle School over in Marine County. It's the name has 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.960 since been changed. He gets in trouble there, but before 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.560 he gets in trouble, he is named the biggest Rebel 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:34.480 at his eighth grade yearbook. Yeah right, you started to 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.320 see the soft spot I have. Yeah, this poor kid. Now, 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.520 by the way, were you like in your high school 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.760 where people voted most likely to do? Yeah, we had that. 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.879 Now did you know any of the people that were like, 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.080 were you friends with anyone who got the most likely 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.040 to our biggest rebel or whatever? Um? Well there were 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.280 only sixty six girls in my graduating class, so yeah, 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.280 so you knew all of them. I was. I was 0:18:55.640 --> 0:19:00.320 voted something. We were you voted class clown? Oh yeah, 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.240 I'm not. How about you? I was also voted something 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:13.439 You'll never guess you were probably voted most likely to 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.359 were you know, you know what I'm thinking. It's something 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:23.960 like really sweet and innocuous, like best smile. Alright, fine, 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.119 all right, you've kind of got it right. It was 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:31.000 I was voted most friendly. Yeah have your laughs. I 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:39.000 have your laugh You're a friendly guy. Moving on after 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:40.840 a while. Ye give you a time to warm up. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.000 Maybe know me for a few years in school. I 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.400 don't know anyway. I was surprised to win it. But 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:49.600 so Max Wade, he wins rebel of his school, biggest rebel, right, 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.639 and that's pretty much is how everybody treats him. It's 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:55.080 who he thinks he is. That's a red flag superlative 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.880 going forward at this at this school. If you get 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.119 biggest rebel, like, they need to put that in your 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.280 permanent record, in the invisible style cabinet that contains all 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:07.919 of our permanent records. So our boy Max Wade, he's like, 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.840 you know, the rebel, and he's getting into trouble. But 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.920 not only that, he's getting more aggressive. He starts the 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:19.440 Marine Fight Club. Oh yeah, yeah, like little amateur Tyler Dirton. 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:21.359 He decides I'm gonna go full Brad pitt and like 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.520 walk around and convince these other kids to punch each other. 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.040 He starts like spreading a little bit of chaos. Well, 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.480 and he was raised in a really violent, chaotic environment. Yes, 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.320 that's how he understands control. But nobody gets hurt, and 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.440 it's not a really bad thing. It's but it does 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.160 become an issue. He gets kicked out of school. So 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:41.080 this is before he finishes his freshman year. He's a 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.359 young kid to be kicked out of school. So what 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.920 does he do? What does the biggest rebel of eighth 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.720 grade do when he's kicked out in ninth grade? Ah, 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.560 kicked out in ninth grade? Does he just quit school altogether? 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.119 Pretty much? And he starts selling fake I d s 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.280 and pot. Well, you gotta gotta make a living, Yeah, 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:00.119 you gotta make a living. And if you know or 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.520 a young teenager, those are pretty much avenues to fund. 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.000 Everybody wants to find you. You're gonna be invited everywhere. 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:09.479 It's like that are cold Stone Creamery, He got choices 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:18.720 cream damn crazy bald. So he's selling fake I d s, 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.960 he's selling pot, but also he's getting more criminal. At 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:25.000 this same time, he steals his own mother's car. He 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.119 paints moms venture so much. Oh yeah, but he you know, 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:30.760 he wants to get away with it, so he steals 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.439 her car. He paints it all black. Do you think 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.800 he painted it? Was just like spray paint from the store. 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.760 Just Matt black, Matt Black. Yeah. So he's driving around 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:44.120 in a black ski mask, in his painted masks like 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.360 a like a ninja or something. I don't know. So yeah, 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.640 it's this fast and furious business that's getting the kids 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:54.120 all work and the ski masks and the painted cars. 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:58.000 It's that damn vin Dieselae Diesel. I'm telling the kids 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.320 they cannot take both the rock and Vind's will come at. 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.280 There's too much shine coming off of skull. They're gonna 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.640 false weight to that criminality. I'm telling you, boy, how 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:11.960 he's blinded. They're blinded. So let's fast forward. We've gotten 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.639 through a little bit of Max Waite's past. Now he's sixteen. 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:17.560 He steals Guy Fieri's Lambo. I love that we're talking about. 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.680 He's sixteen. Let's lee we've moved through his path. Now 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:23.879 is it the right? He's in his golden years, his 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:27.760 criminal peak. So what does the sixteen year old kid do, 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:31.600 who has stolen Guy Fieri's yellow lambeau. You know what 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.800 he does. He brags to every mother he knows. He's like, hey, guys, 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.840 look at this man. He's telling every friend he has. 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.159 Everybody's selling pot too. If he gets a fake I 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.119 d you're getting to see his phone and see the 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:47.000 pictures of the lambeau because he wants to be cool still. 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.639 I mean, he's a teenage four So one of the 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.359 texts we know from some of this text one of 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.840 my favorite ones is, man, I love my life boosting 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.320 a lambo and picking up a cute girl when you're seventeen. 0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:02.720 So that's our cocky, over confident Max Wade. But the dude, 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:04.960 he's no fool. I mean, like he sounds wild and 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:09.800 he sounds like reckless, but he's super smart out so 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:13.359 he does something that a good criminal would do. He 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:15.960 hides the car, but not at his house, not even 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:19.000 in Marin County. He hides it over in Richmond. And 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.920 you know Richmond. Ain't nobody looking for something that was 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:25.159 stolen in Marine in Richmond unless it's scrap metal, so 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.840 they don't think that the lambo is there.

The cops finally 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.879 do here from mothers and fathers and Marine County whose 0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:12.840 children have been talking about one of the kids who 0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:17.200 stole guy fears Colombo? What what name would you use? 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:22.680 What name would I use for a criminal alias? Hypothetically? Yeah, 0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:27.000 hypothetically speaking, I would use alo Wisious huff and puff. 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.639 That's a good one. I like it, just get you 0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:34.800 an idea that, Yeah, what what one would you do? 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:45.159 I would call myself Regina corn Tower because Regina not 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:48.679 Regina Regina, Regina corn Tower because it means, you know, 0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.600 it's like you sound like a strapping, like milk fed 0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.480 midwestern gal just doesn't take guff. Oh no, it sounds 0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.919 like she wrestled Vikings for fun. Totally. That's that's my 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:06.199 criminal alias. Your girl Regina be on the lookout. So 0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:11.800 the cops who are not looking for Regina after my 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.280 man Max Wade. They can't find him, but they start 0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.840 getting these tips, right, so they call in Max Wade 0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:21.479 and they try to interview him, right but one, they 0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.520 can't really find Max Wade. He's very difficult to find too. 0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:27.320 They can't get any solid evidence that puts him with 0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:29.560 the car. Although they've been told all about this, there's 0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:32.760 no pictures, right, so it's kind of looking like the 0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:36.959 kid's gonna get away with it. Now. Just try and 0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:40.359 guess what could undo based on the little hints they 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:44.480 gave you earlier, what could undo our boy Max Wade Facebook? 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:51.679 Mostly it's that he starts thinking with his Okay, so 0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:58.480 he's a sixteen year old, starts hormones coursing through his veins. Yeah, oh, 0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:02.000 skin is pretty much rippling with hormones. Voice is changing. 0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:07.000 He's like, I stole a lambo and then he's like 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.760 it's all Embaris. That's why it can't be in school. 0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.439 You're much more sensitive than the most adults were in 0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:16.320 his life. If only he had someone like you, if 0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:21.159 only he had Regina corn Tower in his corner, the 0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:24.240 corn Tower family with us would have stood behind, set 0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:27.080 that board down and just loved him up hearts, loved 0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:31.399 him apart. You know, Lord, Lord, I'm gonna ask you 0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:34.040 to shine down on this boy the way that Vin 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.119 Diesel's forehead light would shine on him, but in a 0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:40.560 good way. Prayers up, like the way the rocks hairline 0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:44.160 is retreating backwards. I want you to push the sin 0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:52.120 away from him. So we'll get into the dark troubled 0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:58.280 days on the morning of April a Friday, no less, 0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:01.959 because Max Wade also likes to, you know, really twist 0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:06.840 that screw. It's got styled so way you'd approaches a 0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:10.080 white Dodge four by four pickup truck. It's parked outside 0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:13.680 at home in Mill Valley right inside or eighteen year 0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:17.840 old Landon Walstrom. He's a kind of a good old boy, 0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:20.320 which is not really a Marin County thing. But there 0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:23.080 are some like you know, cow there's some dairy farms 0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:24.800 and so forth, so there is a little bit of that, 0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.159 like you know, kickup boots Cannon. But yeah, so Landing 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.960 is a little bit of an outliers driving that lifted 0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:34.960 white truck. He's likes you a dip. Now he's graduated 0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:37.439 from Redwood High School. He's not a student anymore, but 0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.080 he's dating a high school student, a seventeen year old 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:45.800 named Eva deady Air or dedier Eva. She's a senior 0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.920 and she knows Max Wade because he sells her fake 0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.720 I d s. She's in fact loses so many. He 0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:53.680 sold her about five to six fake it das. So 0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.879 she's just absent minded. Yeah, just you know, just a 0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:02.080 tan absent minded sprite of a girl. So he's smitten 0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:04.320 with this girl obviously, right, he's charging five dollars for 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.720 these fake IDs. He's pretty much hand in. She he 0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:09.760 charges pop and she keeps losing, and she's up to 0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:12.959 six at this point. That's the easy three grand, right, 0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.800 there's just just handed over to it, right, Yeah, I 0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.080 mean that's a lot of pumpkin spice lattees that she's 0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:23.280 going without. So that's a sacrifice, good for her. So 0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:27.200 he's smitten on her and Max Wade he had texted 0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:31.320 her earlier saying, so who you're spending Valentine's with? And 0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:36.320 Eva had texted back my friend Landing, Well, that's why 0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:39.400 on Friday he pulled up next to my friend Landon's 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:42.800 lifted white truck and my boy Wade, he pulls up 0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.160 on a black motorcycle stolen plates because it's you know 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:49.479 him and probably that. But he's in all black because 0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:53.240 he wants to make that stylistic approach. It's very like matrix. 0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:55.760 Oh yeah, it's good call, good call. And he's got 0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:58.440 a black helmet on. Keep that in mind, a black 0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.280 neck protector that this helmet is a very special one's 0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.640 called built. He's got a black built helmet, right, yeah, right, 0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:07.320 they're super cool. So he's also carrying, by the way, 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.400 um you know, an old Saturday Night Special revolver like 0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:16.440 at like he's trying to kill someone in yeah so, 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.880 and so the guns registered on someone else's name. He 0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:23.120 pulls up and Wade is on that motorcycle, rocks up 0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:26.520 next to lifted four by four white truck, and what 0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:31.040 does he do? Got a gun? Pop pop pop, He 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:35.040 lets five fly into the car. Landing is quick. He 0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.600 sees him like basically point the gun at him. He 0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.680 pushes down Eva's head on the seat. None of the 0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:43.280 bullets managed because the car the truck is lifted. He's 0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:45.560 down on a motorcycle. They all go into the ceiling 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:49.760 of the truck. He doesn't adjust his height, he just 0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.440 starts capping off and he gets so excited he leaves 0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.760 one bullet in the chamber and you know, he's got 0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:57.880 one bullet left. He's used like five of the rounds. 0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.719 One bullets left, and he's fumbling with the gun. This 0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:03.680 gives Landon a chance to peel out. They take off 0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:06.280 and then he grabs the gun and tries to chase 0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.000 after them on his motorcycle. He can't. They've made it away. 0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:11.120 They go and they hide at a place called Joe's 0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:15.360 Tacosa Landing and even ladd Eva. They pull up in 0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:17.920 the white lifted truck and Joe's Tacos and hide out 0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:21.280 collect their thoughts at Joe's Tacos. Can we just say that, 0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:24.000 like Max didn't understand that he just made land In 0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.520 a legend because Landon is going to tell the story 0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:28.920 for the rest of his life about and it's gonna 0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:32.440 snowball every time, So that like how many years ago. 0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:36.320 Is this like eleven years ago now when Landon tells 0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:38.080 the story, like someone came up with an a K 0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:41.800 forty seven and open fire and he like used his 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:46.040 key chain as a throwing star and like yeah, and 0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:50.200 like tucked Eva under his shirt and drove Like yeah, 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:53.480 I can totally Landon's a legend thanks to Max. Oh yeah, 0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:56.800 Landon is now getting a lot of free drinks from 0:30:56.840 --> 0:31:01.360 the boys at the ball totally totally. Now, obviously, Marine County, 0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:03.840 this isn't the home of the body bag. This is 0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:06.040 not a place I mean where people are popping. I 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:09.680 mean Marin City get some violence, but there wasn't much violence. 0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:12.840 So the police overrespond to the shooting. The neighbors are 0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:14.960 freaking out. People are calling in from the gas station 0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:16.920 down the street where they saw the shooting him and 0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:19.520 they saw the white lifted truck go to Joe's Tacos. 0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:22.600 The staff of Joe's Tacos is under counter like just 0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:26.800 like shivering and calling yeah, this was big news. This 0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:29.280 is bad business. Just getting chunks of lime ready in 0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:33.840 case anyone comes in. So now the cops, though, remember 0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:36.400 they've never been able to pin Max Way down because 0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:42.000 my man is like a ghost, but Carmine Carmine Carmine Colombo. 0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:48.280 He he makes the mistake of basically creating incontrovertible evidence. 0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:51.880 He doesn't know this, but he did remember that black helmet. 0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.880 So a couple of the detectives are motorcyclists. They recognized 0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:59.240 the built helmet and they're like, bro, there's only one 0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:03.000 shop that sell those around here. He couldn't have gotten 0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:05.640 it anywhere else than Cycle World over in San Francisco 0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:09.200 or cycle Gear over in San Francisco. So they pop 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:10.720 over to cycle Gear and they're like, hey, man, you 0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:12.760 guys had anybody come in and buy a built helmet. 0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:15.000 They're like, yeah, this kid came in and paid cash. 0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:18.880 He bought a black neck protector, a black everything he's wearing. 0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:22.160 They just basically, can we see the sort of veillance 0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:25.760 footage now they have a good sense of what this 0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:30.360 kid looks like. Oh yeah, the net is closing in 0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:33.120 on my man, max Way, but he doesn't know it yet. 0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:35.719 Right now, you went to an all girls school, all 0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:39.280 girls Catholic school. Did you know anyone who messed around 0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:43.360 with them bad boys? I was um what is known 0:32:43.400 --> 0:32:48.920 as a power nerd in high school, so I socialized outside. 0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:53.160 I didn't. I didn't have a social life. Um, but 0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.840 I do know there was a girl in my class 0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:58.440 who had a at the time we thought was a 0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:03.280 significantly older uh boyfriend. Looking back, he may have been 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:08.760 like nineteen, but it was it was scandalous. Um yeah. 0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:10.960 And now when I look back though, too, like let's 0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:12.520 say he was in his twenties, I was like, that's 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.520 so pitiful that he's just like dating high school girl. 0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:18.440 High school girl, Like, what's wrong with you, buddy? But yeah, 0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.320 so that was I mean, like I said, I'm sure 0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:22.840 there were all sorts of girls running around with bad boys, 0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:27.200 but um, I was not aware of it, because you know, 0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:35.840 model you in well as a farmer semi bad boy. 0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:37.760 I don't know if I can say that after also 0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:41.160 admitting that I was voted most friendly. What do they 0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:44.640 mean by friendly if you can allow for that dynamic 0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:48.240 to occur in your head. I was also somebody who 0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:50.959 the vice principal was questioning if I should return to school. 0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.600 So it was a little tugget war back there. And 0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:56.400 as a former bad boy, I can tell you it's fun, 0:33:56.520 --> 0:33:58.280 but the girls only want to have fun with you. 0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:00.680 They don't really want to necessarily make a life with you. 0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.800 They prefer a guy like they don't want to make 0:34:03.800 --> 0:34:06.160 a life with a sixteen year old. Yeah, well, you know, 0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.680 sixteen year old was riding around popping off shots because 0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:12.200 he's mad. So I'm gonna put a pin in this 0:34:12.280 --> 0:34:14.480 for a second. We're gonna get back to Eva and 0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:18.520 Max Wade, Landon and Guy Fieri. Now it loves Square, 0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:44.000 and I'll tell you how this one ends. Now, Max Wade, 0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:49.400 as we've discussed, is infatuated with Eva. He's fighting in 0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:52.799 a love rival battle with Landon, and he's cruising around 0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:56.520 and Guy Fieri stolen Lambeau right as one does. And 0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:58.279 he's already tried to shoot his way out of the 0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:03.000 friend zone, which ha apparently failed. Now at this time, 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:04.960 there's like rumors going around on Facebook because all these 0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:07.600 kids know what this story is. So they start talking 0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:10.160 about like, oh, you know, he threatened Landing on Facebook. 0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:12.920 Landon's uncle finds this out, he tells the cops. The 0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:15.839 cops were like, wait what, And then they start being 0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:18.440 able to piece this together. The only problem is they 0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:21.239 have no idea where to find Max Wade. He has 0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:24.160 falsified all of his stuff. There is no good address. 0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:26.080 The school doesn't have an address for him. He's not 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:28.759 old enough to really have a legit license. He just 0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:30.759 fakes all of his i ds. So there is no 0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:33.399 way for the cops to find this cat. So how 0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:35.879 do you find a kid? Do you do? You don't 0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:39.759 know where he is, you can't write. That's what the 0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:43.640 cops very quickly figure out. But one detective gets lucky. 0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:47.360 This detective sees Max Wade into the Marine County courthouse 0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:51.319 on a different case. He admitted like a whole party situation. 0:35:51.520 --> 0:35:54.160 He gets in trouble, right, so he's there. The detective 0:35:54.160 --> 0:35:56.760 recognizement goes, that's that kid who stole Guy Fieri's lambeau. 0:35:57.200 --> 0:36:01.480 He follows him and notices basically the kid goes through 0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:04.120 some house in Marine County and he's like, that's him. 0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:08.319 So now they start basically working with Eva. They're like, 0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:11.319 you gotta help us get this kid because we know 0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:13.839 he's on for you, right, They now know that he's 0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:18.200 in the area. So around that exact same time, my 0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:20.920 boy Max Wade makes a faithful mistake of text and Eva, 0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:24.480 I know I tried to kill you the other day. 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:27.000 I just want to see are we still cool? And 0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:29.160 she's like, well, do you have any more fake ideas? 0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:34.640 And she's working with the cops. Yeah, what's that called honeypot? Honeypot? 0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:38.480 So she's the classic honeypot. So she's like, you know, 0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:41.279 uh yeah, come and uh maybe show up and that's 0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:43.200 stolen lambo and we can go for a ride. That 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:45.719 cool with you? And he's like, like, go for a 0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:50.400 ride I don't know, like the police station. So there's 0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:53.680 really pretty parking line. She is why he stole that lambo. 0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:57.799 He wants to impress her. Oh yeah, completely just out 0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:01.040 of curiosity. What's the biggest thing you've ever stolen to 0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:04.960 necessarily impress somebody? Just that you know? Okay, well, you know, 0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.360 I'm just going to be the truthful. The biggest thing 0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:10.239 I've ever stolen was the hearts of my countrymen with 0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:13.960 my piccolo rendition of Gasolina at the nineteen fifty two 0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:19.279 Pan American Games. I knew I shouldn't have asked. You 0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:22.279 should know better by now. That truly is the That's 0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:25.200 the biggest thing I've ever stolen. That's that's impressive. I 0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:26.960 thought it was gonna be the love of the Argentinian 0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:28.960 people that you stole from the via to Peron. Oh 0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:32.719 that's the Pales in comparison. Yeah, well, you know, what 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:37.680 can you do? So Wade agrees to meet Eva in 0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:40.279 Guys here he's stolen Lambeau. He shows up at his 0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:42.960 Richmond storage unit to go pick up his yellow car. 0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:45.759 The cops have figured out at this point where he is. 0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:48.920 They've tracked him, they know that he's there. There's fifteen 0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:52.520 cops waiting outside of the Richmond storage unit. It's a Saturday, 0:37:52.600 --> 0:37:57.879 ap roughly two weeks after the shooting event. Now there 0:37:57.880 --> 0:38:02.799 are fifteen cops sitting there waiting for him. They exactly right. 0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:07.040 They let him go in, get the car, and drive away. 0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:11.760 He drives across the five ad bridge across rich Sandra 0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:15.440 Fell Bridge. Yes, you're old bridge. That thing is falling apart. 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:18.439 He's lucky he didn't fall out, totally lucky he didn't 0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:22.080 get hit by a chunk of cement. So he's racing 0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:24.920 across that old bridge, headed to Marine County, going to 0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:27.640 Eva's place. Right, the cops are still, mind you back 0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:31.000 at the at the storage unit. So right, So they 0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:33.279 didn't give chase. They just let him. Oh, they're just 0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:37.080 letting him. Remember you were saying about the honeypot you. 0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:40.760 So Eva contexts and text him according to police instruction, 0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:43.279 she says, I can't meet you today? Can we meet later? 0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:48.240 And shines him. He's like okay whatever, turns around, drives 0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:52.840 back to the waiting police. That gave them time to 0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:55.720 set up. Yeah, they literally are set up there in trees. 0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:59.760 They're in unmarked cars. There's a plane circling over the storage. 0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:02.520 You know, you know that one of them was pushing 0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:06.319 an old grocery cart full of recycling and had like 0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:10.680 smeared stuff on his face and was all raggedy, but 0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:15.359 was wearing like Dockers and Kirkland elevens. Then he didn't 0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:19.920 tend to back the blue hat exactly. Just all oh 0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:23.400 my rooms, so bones like he's overplaying the whole character. 0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:27.600 They're just like, we can't we cannot invite Ken on 0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:31.240 these on these steakhouats anymore. It's embarrassing. If it doesn't 0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:35.480 involve the waterfront. Ken can't come. Kenn has like a 0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:43.120 sailor costume. One ye, sorry. They're sitting there waiting in 0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:47.160 the trees. Ken's pushing his bag down the street and 0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:50.040 Wade shows up right he pulls back in. Do the 0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:53.239 cops take him. No, they let him go back inside. 0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:56.319 He doesn't come out for an hour. He's just They're like, wait, 0:39:56.520 --> 0:40:00.680 do we make a mistake. And VANGELI, I don't know. 0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:02.600 I like to imagine he's sitting there and guy fieres 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:07.000 Lambo just crying to him, crying. Yeah, he got stood up. 0:40:07.440 --> 0:40:09.080 I mean he's tried so hard. He tried to kill 0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:11.280 a man for her. He stole the guy fieres lambeau 0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:13.640 for her, and she just won't take him seriously, and 0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:16.600 he's either, why are you breaking a man's heart? So 0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:19.040 eventually he manages to come out, and he had been 0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:22.200 dropped off by a friend who drove a Crown Victoria 0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:26.040 and so the cop car he walks back out. He 0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:28.040 thinks he's you know, he's sitting there staring at his 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:29.920 cellphone waiting for this guy to pick him back up, 0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:33.000 and he notices this Crown Victoria coming towards him, so 0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:36.080 he like walks over, thinking it's his friend. Nope, it's 0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:39.200 an undercover car. The second one pulls up, he realizes, 0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:41.160 wait a minute, these are cops. He sees the cop 0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:43.759 in the tree, he bolts. He tries to make it 0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:45.960 a run for it. The cops jump out right now. 0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:48.719 One of the cops grabs him, another one kicks him, 0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:50.680 another one kicks him in the chest. They're beating on 0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:53.239 this kid, right, but they have good reason. According to 0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:56.799 the police. Apparently he's like reaching for his waistband, which 0:40:56.840 --> 0:40:58.080 you know, I mean the kids a white kid. I 0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:00.960 don't even know they said that about white kids fan, 0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:05.200 but that's what they said about him. Ye, yeah, he's 0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:09.359 they're like ken. But turns out home he had a 0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:13.759 loaded glock forty five with about fifty rounds of ammunition, 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:16.839 so he could have been like and they didn't just 0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:19.279 light him up and they didn't know that they found 0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:21.319 it when they searched him because remember before he had 0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:27.640 just had that Saturday Night special like subway stick up gun. Yeah, 0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:30.839 but so they find that, uh, he's got a real gun. 0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:32.759 That explains why they had to beat the you know, 0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:36.919 the underhaged boy. Anyway, he's got, of course, a fake 0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:39.200 I d on him. Now. Can you guess with this 0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:44.360 fake idea is Oh my god, is it Guy Ferry 0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:48.360 his real name? That would have been great one. No, 0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:52.520 this one was Dr and Agnello Gotti, you know, like 0:41:52.600 --> 0:42:00.239 John Gotti, Remember well, and Agnello isn't that the Fiat guy. Yeah, okay, 0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:04.800 on it with the Italian carmakers. It's in my blood 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:09.919 and apparently the Max too. So the cops now rest 0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.359 Max Wade. He's busted. Everything's calmed down. They go down 0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:16.160 to a storage unit. They find the yellow Lambeau right 0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:18.480 where it was, and I'm talking this thing was tucked 0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:20.760 in within inches of the walls. Like he barely squeeze 0:42:20.800 --> 0:42:22.640 us into the storage unit. But in there with the 0:42:22.760 --> 0:42:27.120 with Guy Fierries Lambeau is the motorcycle, the guns, the outfits. 0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:33.960 He's got jammers literally books for future crimes. Ken, you 0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:36.200 know Ken locked into the warehouse and put his hand 0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:41.400 on the hood of the Lamborkhan. He goes still warm, Kennan, 0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:44.640 your crack detective skills. Can someone get him out of here? 0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:48.120 Can we transfer him? So there also is a bill 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:51.120 of sale. He had sold Guy Fieri's cards some owner 0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:53.560 in the Dominican Republic and it was supposed to get 0:42:53.600 --> 0:42:56.919 on like some like you know, storage unit container ship 0:42:56.960 --> 0:42:59.120 and sent down to the d R. It didn't make it. 0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:07.600 He almost bought that close. Yeah, So now the luck 0:43:07.640 --> 0:43:11.040 of ge is gonna hold though, because now he's already 0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:13.399 filed with his insurance company because they couldn't find the car, 0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:16.319 so he's been paid out the two dollars. He's not 0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:18.719 really like, you know, too worried about it. Well, he 0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:21.160 loves it. Like he finds out it's stolen, He's not 0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:24.000 like on his knees screaming to the sky my my 0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:27.839 prize possession. He's like, oh one of my you know, 0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:31.720 ridiculous supercars was stolen. Well we also, I'm not even 0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:34.200 know this, but guy fiery, you know, the love of 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.319 my life. Yeah, he is a big Chevy man. So 0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:38.880 most of his cars are cor The first car he 0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:40.640 bought was a Corvette. When he first made his money 0:43:40.680 --> 0:43:43.240 on the Food Network, he bought some tricked out Corvette. 0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:45.400 He loves Chevy, so the Lambo to him is like 0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:48.439 I think to impress other people. Okay. Also, by the way, 0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:50.960 he has this car, it's shown up on Driver or 0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:55.360 whatever Triple D, and he doesn't think the production associates mentioned. 0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:57.400 He doesn't drive it. He just opens the door, kids 0:43:57.400 --> 0:44:02.600 and open gets out. He just acts pull it up 0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:04.600 and he acts like I'm gonna drive away in this 0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:07.560 rad my bitchen lambeau, and then he just gets right 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:11.080 back out and goes into the him. Good for him, 0:44:11.120 --> 0:44:13.799 it's just it's just fake as his prop. It's top. 0:44:13.880 --> 0:44:18.520 So now Max Wade has to go to obviously have 0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:25.160 a trial because he's now being investigated for attempted murder impersonating. 0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:27.120 It turns out of police and all sorts of stuff 0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:31.000 he's got, like fake uniforms. The guy has jammers for 0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:33.480 police radios and for cell phones. I mean, he's doing 0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:36.839 all sorts of crimes. It's just a laundry list. And 0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:40.080 you know, he's also suspected to have been involved in 0:44:40.120 --> 0:44:42.720 some break ins, but it turns out he's too slight 0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:44.319 for that. But they were trying to attach him to 0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:46.839 all these like crimes that they couldn't haven't been able 0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:49.080 to close the book on yet. Right, So, now, what 0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:51.359 do you think Max Wade's gonna do when he's locked 0:44:51.480 --> 0:44:54.360 up in remind you juvenile hall, because he's still not 0:44:54.440 --> 0:44:57.880 even eighteen. Does he do something terrible? Does he like 0:44:58.560 --> 0:45:02.319 shive somebody? No? Really, that guy, I mean, even though 0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:04.040 I know he did try to kill his love rival 0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:06.160 with us Saturday Night Special, he's not the kind of 0:45:06.200 --> 0:45:09.000 shift somebody in jail. Instead, he's the kind of guy 0:45:09.040 --> 0:45:11.000 to get two of his idiot cronies to show up 0:45:11.000 --> 0:45:14.879 to Juvie with a sledgehammer and try to break him out. 0:45:15.080 --> 0:45:18.919 Bang bang. These guys had like four thirty in the morning, 0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:22.960 I'm working with sledge hammers, trying to fast sledge hammers 0:45:23.040 --> 0:45:25.960 from outside the cell. They're just sitting there smacking it 0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:28.480 at four thirty in the morning. There's nothing going on 0:45:28.520 --> 0:45:30.759 at four thirty in the morning except everybody's going to 0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:36.040 hear that. Forty guards, forty Julie guards come rushing in 0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:39.759 and they stopped Max Wade from getting his masterminded getaway. 0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:42.040 And they go outside and they find the sledge hammers 0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:46.560 and everything, but his his associates have disappeared more honestly, yes, exactly. 0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:50.160 So why do you think he tried to do that, Well, 0:45:50.200 --> 0:45:52.239 I mean he wanted to get out. I don't know 0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:54.520 you wanted to get away, right, But also he was 0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:57.440 about turn eighteen, an eighteenth birthday was coming up, and 0:45:57.520 --> 0:46:01.399 that meant he would be transferred to a prison. He 0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:04.480 didn't want to be around the real criminals. It was 0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:09.040 his last chance to avoid that. Like too bad, buddy. Yeah, 0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:14.600 So October rolls around and we now have the attempted 0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:18.120 murder and theft case. Guess who is a star witness, 0:46:19.719 --> 0:46:23.920 Your man Gie Fieri. So while like you have to 0:46:23.960 --> 0:46:26.680 understand this is like a circus of a trial, right, 0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:29.000 so that everybody wants in on this because this kid, 0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:31.719 I mean, he's basically become an internet legend. It's so 0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:35.160 some people may not remember this. He was an internet legend. 0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:38.240 There were, in fact, a friend of his posted songs 0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:43.240 on YouTube about him. He had his own folk hero ballots, 0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:47.200 murder ballot exactly. So everybody is, like, you know, wanting 0:46:47.239 --> 0:46:49.320 to get in on this court case. Only one reporter 0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:53.040 is allowed in the room, a student from Redwood High School, 0:46:53.080 --> 0:46:56.600 one of alumni. Yeah, he's allowed to be the only 0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:59.920 one in the high school newspaper. Yeah, it's amazing. Right. 0:47:00.200 --> 0:47:02.840 So then there, of course obviously is a court reporter 0:47:03.000 --> 0:47:05.799 right now. The court reporter is the way that we 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:08.640 know what it looks like inside the courtroom, since there 0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:11.680 was no press other than the school newspapers. Like a 0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:14.919 sketch artist. So yeah, exactly, the courtate sorry, court sketch arts, 0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:19.160 not court reporters, court sketch artist. The sketch artist manages 0:47:19.480 --> 0:47:22.360 to capture your g Fieri and all his glory on 0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:26.160 the witness stand. Now here, let me show you this photo. Okay, 0:47:26.400 --> 0:47:29.480 oh yeah, Now could you just try to describe it 0:47:29.719 --> 0:47:35.600 for the listening audience? Okay? Um, first of all, like 0:47:36.160 --> 0:47:39.480 we're putting this on the Ridiculous Crime Instagram so that 0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:41.200 everyone can take a look at this. You have to 0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:44.000 be able to see that. How did the artist manage 0:47:44.040 --> 0:47:49.000 to make him look sweaty? Like meat? Sweats are hard 0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:53.240 to capture in pastel. It really is a talented artist. Yeah, 0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:55.200 it kind of it looks like he'd have a stuicy 0:47:55.280 --> 0:47:59.760 tattoo on his shoulder blade. And the look on his face. 0:47:59.840 --> 0:48:01.839 He kind of looks like the ticket taker just told 0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:04.560 him his general admission ticket to who was saying as 0:48:04.640 --> 0:48:06.560 counterfeit and he's going to have to go back out 0:48:06.640 --> 0:48:12.080 and enjoy the rest of the county fair. Like his hair, 0:48:12.560 --> 0:48:14.680 the hair, the hair cut. It looks like he was 0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:19.239 in a mac and cheese blossom and I swear to 0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:22.080 God people there are no lies. And looks the look 0:48:22.120 --> 0:48:24.400 on his face. Doesn't it look like his mom just 0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:27.320 found his trash bag full of stolen panties in the 0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:30.960 bottom of his closet. What what is that? Weird look 0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:35.560 on the Oh my goodness, don't be mad at me, mommy. Yeah, 0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:38.560 that's a that's a gem. I'm going to get that 0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:42.520 printed and framed. Yeah for above the Heart. I mean, 0:48:42.560 --> 0:48:44.279 what a joy though, to have Guy Fieri on the 0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:46.080 witness stand in your trial and you're not even You're 0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:48.600 just an eighteen year old boy and he's bringing it. 0:48:48.680 --> 0:48:51.080 Max Wade coming up in the world. Dark power is 0:48:51.120 --> 0:48:56.080 what that is. So but man, Max Wade. He gets busted, 0:48:56.080 --> 0:48:59.840 convicted on one count of attempted murder of Landing, and 0:49:00.239 --> 0:49:03.320 also he gets popped for auto theft and for possession 0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:06.000 of a stolen vehicle for shooting into the occupied vehicle, 0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:08.520 for trying to kill his love interest. And he gets 0:49:08.560 --> 0:49:11.440 acquitted on the attempted murder of Eva because apparently Eva 0:49:11.480 --> 0:49:13.400 doesn't want to press charges. I don't know, he couldn't 0:49:13.440 --> 0:49:16.800 be convinced that he was trying to kill her. Also, 0:49:17.040 --> 0:49:19.920 he is acquitted on the charge of stealing the car. 0:49:20.600 --> 0:49:24.160 He doesn't get popped on commercial burglary. I'm not a lawyer, 0:49:24.239 --> 0:49:27.120 I'm not a judge. I have no idea. Now, remember 0:49:27.120 --> 0:49:29.560 that janitor who was or was not involved, Yeah, the 0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:31.680 one who wound up road chum because he was hiding 0:49:31.680 --> 0:49:35.480 into the car. Never shows back up never. So we 0:49:35.560 --> 0:49:39.000 have this one like mystery out there also the other 0:49:39.080 --> 0:49:42.760 mystery who dropped him off when he got we showed 0:49:42.840 --> 0:49:45.320 up at his storage unit to pick up the Lambeau. 0:49:45.320 --> 0:49:48.920 Remember the cops never talked about that. I know exactly 0:49:48.920 --> 0:49:51.960 who it was. Who was it? Fiery, He's in the 0:49:51.960 --> 0:49:54.799 Crown vic It's all. It's like, I feel like it's 0:49:54.840 --> 0:49:57.520 the end of the usual suspects right now, right, it's 0:49:57.520 --> 0:49:59.920 all coming together, and all of sudden the footwork starts 0:50:00.040 --> 0:50:05.360 smoothing totally. Guy Fierry doesn't know Limp anyway, I just 0:50:05.440 --> 0:50:11.160 dropped my teacup, so so Max Wade, right, he tells 0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:14.480 his probation officer. Look, I was by myself. The janitor 0:50:14.560 --> 0:50:16.520 had nothing to do with it. Nobody helped me, which 0:50:16.520 --> 0:50:19.400 seems like proof that the janitor helped him, right, And 0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:21.319 that just seems like immediately so I don't know if 0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:23.399 it's like a favorite uncle or somebody. Yeah, they're like, 0:50:23.800 --> 0:50:26.400 who helped you with this? He's like, not the janitor, 0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:30.560 Like wait what jandit He's like, never mind, I didn't 0:50:30.760 --> 0:50:37.440 I didn't say anything. Voices still so in janu Max 0:50:37.480 --> 0:50:41.239 Wade has given the maximum sentence life in prison. He 0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:45.560 sounds like, you know, I'm torn, How are you torn? 0:50:45.719 --> 0:50:48.800 Because he sounds like a dangerous little guy. He sounds 0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:50.759 like he might be a little bit of a psychopath. 0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:54.160 But at the same time, like, I don't know, I 0:50:54.200 --> 0:50:56.200 feel bad for him. I was I was a handful, 0:50:56.400 --> 0:50:59.080 I was a troubled kid. I did some stuff. I 0:50:59.160 --> 0:51:02.440 never tried shooting anybody, but you know, shy of that. 0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:04.239 I can see how stories can be told that people 0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:06.080 would see, oh, he's gonna be a big danger when 0:51:06.080 --> 0:51:09.319 he gets bigger, which never really was the case. So 0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:12.080 I think Max Wade, you know, if things were different, 0:51:12.120 --> 0:51:14.719 if somebody could have taken a hand, he might not have, 0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:19.200 you know, been this person everybody feared too late. Unfortunately, 0:51:20.080 --> 0:51:23.719 he is set up for twenty years of enhancements for 0:51:23.800 --> 0:51:27.560 premeditation of a use of a firearm California law dooms, 0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:31.000 so he's looking at basically has to do the life sentence, 0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:34.160 the twenty years on his enhancements. Then after that he's 0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:36.880 got to do sixteen months for stealing Guy Fieri's car. 0:51:37.239 --> 0:51:39.359 Then he also has to do the rest of his 0:51:39.560 --> 0:51:41.839 life sentence. The other one, he's got to do another one. 0:51:42.000 --> 0:51:46.200 But luckily California law changes, he did no longer has 0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:49.680 to what would have been that he had to serve 0:51:50.120 --> 0:51:53.080 of the twenty one years. He then ends up that 0:51:53.719 --> 0:51:58.759 they basically change his sentencing, so that now thanks to 0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:02.000 send It Bill six twenty, a California bill that gave 0:52:02.080 --> 0:52:04.840 judges the discretion over sentencing and said, no, we're no 0:52:04.920 --> 0:52:08.279 longer going to do these sentencing requirements basically that you 0:52:08.320 --> 0:52:10.600 have to do because of gun enhancements. Do you any 0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:12.000 time to use a gun into the commission of the 0:52:12.040 --> 0:52:14.359 prime the enhancement? Right, So they make that no longer 0:52:14.400 --> 0:52:17.239 the case. Now judges can decide. The judge of his 0:52:17.320 --> 0:52:20.959 case decides and reduces him by ten years. So now 0:52:21.160 --> 0:52:26.719 he is eligible for parole in August. So you know that. 0:52:26.920 --> 0:52:29.200 Or is a little bit of good news that guy 0:52:29.239 --> 0:52:32.600 Fiery got his car back. Well he didn't, well because 0:52:32.640 --> 0:52:34.520 he got the payoff. He got the payoffs. So where 0:52:34.560 --> 0:52:38.000 is it now? Who has the who has the yellow Lamborghini? 0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.720 Right now? The insurance company I suppose took it. I suppose, 0:52:40.840 --> 0:52:42.959 I'm sure they sold it. So I'm sure we could 0:52:42.960 --> 0:52:46.160 find the person who bought the stolen Lambeau. Maybe we'll 0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:48.240 come back to you with an update on that. I'm 0:52:48.239 --> 0:52:50.319 going to need that. So other than the fact that 0:52:50.360 --> 0:52:52.560 guy Fiery is the coolest man on earth, what was 0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:57.440 our ridiculous takeaway here? Well, my ridiculous takeaway I think 0:52:57.800 --> 0:53:03.560 is that, um, the kid is obviously troubled, but like, 0:53:03.640 --> 0:53:06.440 if you're gonna if you're gonna do a crime like 0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:10.080 this for a ridiculous reason, for the love of a 0:53:10.120 --> 0:53:17.320 seventeen year old girl, I say ridiculous reason. Totally ridiculous reason. 0:53:18.440 --> 0:53:21.000 I would have to disagree to a former seventeen year 0:53:21.000 --> 0:53:24.719 old boy. I think it's just that's ridiculous. But if 0:53:24.719 --> 0:53:26.680 you're gonna do it, just go big. And he did, 0:53:26.719 --> 0:53:28.879 and like the most ridiculous We're gonna steal a car, 0:53:29.280 --> 0:53:31.840 steal a ridiculous car. And it's not even enough that 0:53:31.840 --> 0:53:37.799 it's a yellow Lamborghini is ridiculous in amazing ways. It's 0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:40.799 even more ridiculous if the car is belongs to one 0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:46.160 g Fieri, Like, that's prime ridiculousness. That's my takeaway. I 0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:49.839 think you nailed it. Personally. I think my due would 0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:52.360 have been fine if he just stole the car. I 0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:54.480 mean nobody would. I think even guy Fiery would have 0:53:54.480 --> 0:53:56.440 forgiven him. He liked him, he said, brave kid. Remember 0:53:56.440 --> 0:53:58.200 he was like, hey, I like that kid. Yeah. I 0:53:58.200 --> 0:54:01.120 mean it's pretty much victimous crime other than the insurance company, 0:54:01.160 --> 0:54:03.279 which I have my opinions about that. I'm sure other 0:54:03.280 --> 0:54:05.560 listeners may have their opinions about that, But that's like 0:54:05.600 --> 0:54:09.680 not really a victim that we're worried about, right, But 0:54:10.080 --> 0:54:13.239 his real problem was was he became the victim of 0:54:13.320 --> 0:54:15.760 himself when he decided to go full Romeo and Juliet 0:54:15.760 --> 0:54:18.000 and try to take out Landing. It was the gun 0:54:18.239 --> 0:54:20.000 that was the doom. If he would have been able 0:54:20.040 --> 0:54:21.880 to just keep trying to impress her, I think she 0:54:22.000 --> 0:54:23.960 might have changed her mind. I mean, well, and a 0:54:24.040 --> 0:54:27.920 young guy with a yellow Lamborghini. They're more girls out 0:54:27.920 --> 0:54:31.040 there than just Eva. Yeah, exactly. So never bring a 0:54:31.040 --> 0:54:36.320 gun to a stolen guy Fiery Lambo fight. Thanks for 0:54:36.440 --> 0:54:41.040 joining us, Elizabeth Sutton.
