Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stuff you should know

00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: from house Stuff Works dot Com. Hey, and welcome to

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Josh Clark, The Chuck, The Chuck. The

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Chuck is on Fire. How you doing, Chuck? You've been

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: sitting on that one for a while, just since yesterday.

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: We've actually have not recorded in two weeks. And I

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: have a feeling that Josh has been planning that for

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: two weeks. I just told you. I came up with

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: it yesterday. But I was listening to your sweet voice

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: while I swept the floors in my house. Okay, and

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: you think of dog here, you think of me? I thought,

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: like I thought it was your voice that made me

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: think of you. Chee Um, I thought, Man, I've been

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: opening up the show pretty boring wise lately. Well, I'm

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: glad you're talking about this now then. Yeah, anyway, Chuck,

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: how you doing? Good sir? It has been a long time,

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: hasn't it. Okay? So um, you know it's stealing season, buddy,

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah? It pretty much kicks off in November

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: and really goes up through the roof on what Black Friday.

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: It's much more difficult to steal during Cyber Monday. But uh, yeah,

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Christmas comes around. People love to steal. People love to

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: hold people up with guns, knives, threats of physical violence,

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Wow, that's this is inspiring. Yeah,

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: it is. UM. And actually it turns out that this

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: stealing season will probably be worse than usual because there

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: was a report released UM called the Global Retail Theft Barometer.

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: It was released UM mid November, a couple of weeks back,

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: the GRTB. Yeah, I'm a fan, I know you are, UM,

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: and it said that this year, UM businesses have lost

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: retail businesses have lost a hundred and fifteen billion dollars

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: worldwide from stealing from theft. What what's America? Do you

33
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: have that four five billion? Wow? Because in our article

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: it says ten billion. Ten billion is like an average,

35
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: So that's a huge increase. It is. Actually I'll tell

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: you what. Usually, UM there, I guess there's an increase

37
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: every year, and usually worldwide, Uh, it increases by about

38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: one point five I wonder if that's in direct relation

39
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: to the cost of goods increasing. I think that that

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: actually does have something to do with it. In this

41
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: time article. I read, UM this year, uh six percent

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: increase worldwide and in America North America, there's an eight

43
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: point one percent increase. So people are just stealing left

44
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: and right. And they the the authors of the study UM,

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the Center for Retail Research apparently talked to cops, talked

46
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: to shoplifters, UM and said, you know what's going on?

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: They talked to shoplifters. How so do you know people

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: who've been busted for shopoling? Okay, I thought you meant

49
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: that had not been caught. They just hang around Macy's

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: and they're like, you look like a shoplifter, you scuzz ball,

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: or I saw what you did and I won't report

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: you if you answer these fine questions exactly and give

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: me a saw buck. Um, what what is that? I

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: think we've gone over this before. I think it's a

55
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: fiver or okay, so um, no, it's a ten. I

56
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: bet we get some listener mill and I bet it's

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: either a five or ten. UM, so chuck. Where they

58
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: found from talking to these people is that there is

59
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: an increase in UM the perception that companies are making

60
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: off with all this money during while everybody else is

61
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: having hard times and so they kind of feel justified

62
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: in stealing, and they're seeing a much a rise in

63
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: the middle class stealing people who can afford stuff and

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: just aren't paying. Um, and apparently this this victimless crime.

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of another perception. You're stealing from a giant corporation. Uh,

66
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: in the United States, we paid an extra four hundred

67
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: and thirty six bucks a household in consumer goods prices. Yeah,

68
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: that's what happens. Yeah, same with credit card fraud, the

69
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: shrinkage along, right, Yeah, it same with credit card fraud.

70
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: That's why, I mean, that's not all why, but one

71
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: reason why the interest rates are so sky high, because

72
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: people say, I just charge a bunch of stuff and

73
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: not pay it. Insurance fraud. It's just it's just, you know,

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: that's stupid into that stupid credit card company is gonna

75
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: take the hit, but they don't, although they should they

76
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: but they don't. They don't take a hit. They pass

77
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: it all along. Of course they do. That's how it works.

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: We're all slaves, chuck suckers. Anyway, somewhere in that those

79
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: those statistics I just um, you know, spewed out. But um,

80
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: there are a very tiny pop percentage of that population

81
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: that are kleptomaniacs. I feel like I just gave birth

82
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: to a watermelon, a square watermelon. Um, yes, Josh, kleptomania

83
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: is not exactly In fact, it's not at all shoplifting.

84
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Shoplifting is the means by which you would perform your kleptomania.

85
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: That's an excellent definition, Chuck. And I've read this article too,

86
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: and I know that that was not in there. That

87
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: was a special just made it up. Although I would

88
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: say you could steal from anyone and that would be

89
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: clept to me. It didn't have to be a store. Yeah,

90
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: but apparently, um, it is generally stores or parties. But yeah,

91
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna steal from another from an individual, it's

92
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: usually at a party, I think. Um, but it generally

93
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: is retailers. Let's what what differentiates kleptomaniacs from shoplifters. Well,

94
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: there's actually a definition, as outlined by the American Psychiatric

95
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Associations Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders that says

96
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: that they outline this criteria, Josh, the individual repeatedly fails

97
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: to resist the impulse to steal items that are not

98
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: needed for personal use or monetary value. That's number one. Uh.

99
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: The individual experiences tension before stealing. Uh, the tension is

100
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: relieved after stealing, and the theft is not due to anger, revenge, delusions, hallucinations,

101
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: or impaired judgment. Um, and I think there's yeah, there's

102
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: one more psychological disorders can't account for the stealing behaviors

103
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: different other psychological disorders. It's still a little play acting.

104
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: Oh I love this. Okay, Um, I'm going to be

105
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: a kleptomaniac. You are going to be a tube of lipstick,

106
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, hold on, let me get into character. Man,

107
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: you're you're a master. Okay, I'm there, Okay, all right.

108
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: So I'm walking into the store and i'm, you know,

109
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: looking for some sunglasses that I intend to purchase, and

110
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I feel this horrible tension. My

111
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: stomach is tight. I'm starting to sweat a little bit

112
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: because I just spotted Chuck, the tube of lipstick, who

113
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: is sitting there as an inanimate object. Because if you talk,

114
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: then that's delusion. It doesn't count kleptomania. So I'm looking

115
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: at Chuck. I'm feeling this horrible tension. I know that

116
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to steal. I don't want to steal, but

117
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 1: I have to because it's the only way to relieve

118
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: the tension. So I've just grabbed Chuck and put him

119
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: in my pocket, and I don't even wear lipstick. There's

120
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: no explanation for this. I make it out of the store,

121
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: and as I enter into the rest of the mall

122
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: and start to feel like I'm not about to be caught,

123
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: that tension goes away, maybe replaced with a little bit

124
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: of a thrill, a kick right, and then boom, I

125
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: get hit by this crushing guilt. I've just stolen again.

126
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: Not only have I stolen from something from somebody, I

127
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: have failed to, yet again, resist this overwhelming urge. So

128
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: I take the lipstick and I go to my grandmother's house,

129
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: who's now dead, but in the scenarios, she's actually alive,

130
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: and I just put it in with the rest of

131
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: her lipstick, go about my business, feeling generally bad about myself. Toda,

132
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: can I talk now? Yeah, First of all, it was

133
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: a little weird being in your pocket. Said that I

134
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: liked it, But yeah, dude, you just hit on a

135
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: lot of the major points, uh tension of tension, guilt,

136
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: A rush, giving away what you stole, stealing something you

137
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: don't need, or hoarding. Sometimes, yeah, a lot of times

138
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: people will hoard it. UM. I read a case of

139
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: a woman in the early twentieth century who was caught shoplifting.

140
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: Upper middle class. Um. They caught her, went to her

141
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: house and found all this stuff that she'd stolen, with

142
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: the price text like, clearly not used. There's not a

143
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: no one. They don't use the stuff that they steal.

144
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: I've got a hoarder for you, buddy, let's hear it.

145
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: This dude in April of this year in Israel was busted.

146
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: They went to his house and they found motorcycle, helmets,

147
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: um watches, Louis Vuitton, handbags, hundred and fifty pair of shoes,

148
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: two hundred pair of sunglasses, olive oil, laundri to church,

149
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff unopened in this guy's house, literally

150
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: stacked in in every corner of the house, from room

151
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: to room. And he admitted that he had been shoplifting

152
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: for a decade, every time he went to a story,

153
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: shoplifted for a decade. And he clearly lived alone. And

154
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: now he has a wife and son, and he has

155
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: a family know to keep their mouth. Well, this is

156
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: the funny part. And of course this is from an

157
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: Israeli newspaper. It says his wife and son are suspected

158
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: of knowing of his activity but doing nothing about it.

159
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a formal charge. But he

160
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: also was busted with a big um roll of stickers

161
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: that say like paid for thank you for coming, that

162
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Oh yeah, see, that was part of

163
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: his deal. He would go in there and like put

164
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: that on his big TV box or whatever. I wonder

165
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: if that disqualifies him as a kleptomaniac, though I don't

166
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: think why because he pre planned it. Huh. Because one

167
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: of the things that Freud and Rich is that how

168
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: we say his name the author of this article, PhD,

169
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: isn't it? No? I thought it was Craig Freudlick. No,

170
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: there's no hell oh, there's not totally invented that. I've

171
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: been reading it that way for two and a half year.

172
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: We're going to call him Dr Freud. Okay, okay. Dr

173
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: Freud pointed out that um P boll who are kleptomaniacs

174
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: true kleptomaniacs or I think from what I gather, we

175
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: don't call him kleptomaniacs. We call him People with kleptomania

176
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: don't go into a store intending to steal. They don't

177
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: go to steal, they're just overcome by the impulse when

178
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: they're in the store. Yeah, that makes sense. The other

179
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: thing that makes that guy hinky is a candidate for

180
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: a person with kleptomania, is that he's a man. Yeah,

181
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: women more often and this is a little hinky too,

182
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: but women are are more often diagnosed with kleptomania. But

183
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: that has slanted a little bit because I think it

184
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: said that women are less likely to admit to it

185
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: or to report it to like their psychiatrists, that kind

186
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: of thing. No, men, men who steal go to prison,

187
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: women who still psychiatric evaluations. Yeah, so that that could

188
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: definitely slam the population. But traditionally, um people think that

189
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: kleptomania is a feminine disorder. Have you ever seen an

190
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Ice Storm? No? I need to. Really, that's a great movie.

191
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: He said that shamefully. I do feel kind of ashamed. Actually,

192
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: the mother and daughter Joan Allen and Christina Ricchi both

193
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: shoplift in that film at separate times, and I think

194
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: she lift Heartbreakers that's Sigourney Weaver and um, what's her name,

195
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lovett. Yeah, no, I'm talking about The Ice Storm.

196
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think so. Yeah. In fact,

197
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: I think Joan Allen actually steals lipstick. There you go.

198
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: Maybe that was me. Yeah, it is one of my

199
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: favorite movies. Yes, Josh, early teens and twenties. If we're

200
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: talking more about the pattern, it's usually when it begins, yeah,

201
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: but it can run up to Uh. I think they've

202
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: found kleptomaniacs in their late seventies. Yeah. Didn't we do

203
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: a story about Japanese elderly that are stealing, Yeah, just

204
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: so they'll get caught in like have a friend. Yeah,

205
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: they're so lonely, they're trying to basically make friends with

206
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: the police by being arrest So that's not clept many,

207
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: that's just shoping. Uh. And I don't know. I was

208
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: thinking about when I saw that in the late seventies. Um,

209
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: I thought of that Sign Fell episode where Jerry's finds

210
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: out that his parents steal batteries and in turn finds

211
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: out that almost all elderly people steal battery Yeah. Yeah,

212
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: for their tip calculators. The Willard I'm ruined. You know

213
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: another thing, Josh, is uh, you hit on it again

214
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: with your little play acting. They usually steal stuff they

215
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: can afford, and stuff like shampoo it listed and sunglasses

216
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: are big and uh, they like famously went on a

217
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: writer went on a Horowitz. Excuse me, no, yeah, really

218
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: that's her name. I had no idea she famously stole

219
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: several thousand dollars from sex fifth Avenue, five thousand. I think, yeah,

220
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: she can definitely swing that. Yeah, and I don't know

221
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: if it ever came out that they did they ever

222
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: plead kleptomania or anything with her? Did they know quietly

223
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: tried to you know, pay their fine? And yeah, And

224
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: that that brings up a pretty good point is a

225
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: kleptomania defense is really really hard to prove or to

226
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: successfully get off on it is you know why, Well,

227
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: your defense lawyer must argue when the argument that there

228
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: was no reason for you to steal it, no financial gain,

229
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: no revenge. They gotta prove all those things beyond a

230
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: reasonable doubt. First of all, Yeah, that's one you want

231
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: to follow up. Well, I know that the Justice Department

232
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: doesn't recognize kleptomania is a defense. So if you're for

233
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: federal charges, don't even try it. Yeah, exactly, And that's

234
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: that's like the Americans with Disabilities Act, that's in legislation.

235
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: So good luck, and so chuck. Kleptomania, what is it?

236
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: Is it an actual disease? Should it be covered in

237
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: the Americans with Disabilities Act? Should the d o J

238
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: finally open up their eyes and be like, okay, okay,

239
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: there's such a thing as kleptomania. Well, we don't know

240
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: for sure. There's uh, some people think it's like tagged

241
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: onto other psychological disorders, like what like obsessive, compulsive, or

242
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: personality and mood disorders. Okay, so it may like it

243
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: could be a symptom or a byproduct of a larger disorder, right, yes, okay,

244
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: but by and large it's classified as an impulse control

245
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: disorder like gambling or pyromania, fire starting awesome or uh

246
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: trick o tillomania. Yes, I've never heard of that. Yeah.

247
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Obsessive hair pulling, Yeah, I wonder if that means pulling

248
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: your own hair. Other people's probably both, I don't know. Huh.

249
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: That's an excellent question, actually, and it got our producer

250
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: Jerry giggling, so you know it's good. It's good. Yeah.

251
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: So it's either a symptom of a larger disorder or

252
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: it's its own impulse control disorder. UM. One of the

253
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: reasons we don't know is because treatments UM for kleptomania

254
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: are hit or miss. Yeah, haven't studied a lot. And

255
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: the other thing is like it hit me like everything

256
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: else with the brain. It's still sort of a mystery,

257
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: it is. And one of the reasons why they have

258
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: had trouble studying cleptomania is finding kleptomaniacs. Like I found

259
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: a study from two thousand two that was just getting

260
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: off the ground at Stanford, and UM, these people were

261
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: looking for twenty four kleptomaniacs for their study. And we're

262
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: having to go on TV radio everywhere to try to

263
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: find like true kleptomaniacs. And one of um, this guy

264
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: who was quoted in a in this article on the study, UM,

265
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: a guy named will cut Chick, which is a pretty

266
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: cool name if you ask me. He's a Toronto psychologist.

267
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: He said, Um, in the four hundred and fifty cases

268
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: I've assessed, probably only one or two of the people

269
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: were actual kleptomaniacs. We're talking about a very, very small,

270
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: fascinating part of the larger population, didn't they I think

271
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: I saw some in the article. They said, maybe five

272
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: of psychiatric patients, Yeah, admit to being are our diagnosis kleptomania, right,

273
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: and and you just you revealed something else too. I

274
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: think a lot of it is admission. I mean, like,

275
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: remember when me, the play acting kleptomaniac, left and went

276
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: to the mall, was crushed by guilt and I wanted

277
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: to get the object away from me. Do you remember?

278
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: The desire to keep this secret? I think probably keeps

279
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people from coming forward. Ye. So we

280
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: have no idea how large or small this population is.

281
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: But I think from people who examine shoplifters, they find

282
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: that the actual kleptomaniacs among them are a very small population. Um.

283
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: You know who has studied it, the University of Minnesota

284
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: School of Medicine. Yeah, specifically psychiatrist John Grant, and he

285
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: studied the brain and there are a few little deposits,

286
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: a few theories here. One is that a a defect

287
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: in a molecule that transports serotonin might be messed up. Yeah. Well,

288
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: not the defect was messed up. That would if the

289
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: defect this messed up in your potentially head trauma could

290
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: cause something like this, It could damage the circuits in

291
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: the frontal lobes. Right, that could maybe happen and decrease

292
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: in the fine structure of white matter in the frontal lobe.

293
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: But it's all in the frontal lobe, right, and the

294
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: olympic system, which, as of course we know is the

295
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: brain's reward center. Um. So that's in the frontal lobe, right,

296
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: which also controls um impulse or the frontal lobe controls

297
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: impulse mood. Yeah, so clearly it's it could be its

298
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: own disorder in the frontal lobe. Pasons going on up there. Um.

299
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: So did we say that treatments don't work all that well? Like? Um,

300
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes U S SR Rise work, but not all the time.

301
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: Cognitive therapy work. Sometimes you want to talk about some

302
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: of the cognitive therapy. Yeah, cognitive theory cracks me up

303
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's like snapping a rubber band on

304
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: your wrist when you have like an impure thought. Um.

305
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: Covert sensitization, Josh, is when a patient wants to steal

306
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden You're you're trained to

307
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: imagine the consequences, which, to me, that's like I thought

308
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: that's what you're just supposed to teach people. It's like,

309
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: um no, it's like like you're get in trouble, bring

310
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: a cat in the face, like every time it does

311
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: something you don't want with a little water bottle. Uh.

312
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: Aversion therapy that is, if you feel the urge to steal,

313
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: you will be told to do something like holding your

314
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: breath until it's literally painful. Oh, I'm sorry. That's the

315
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: one that's like you are that covert sensitization that is

316
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: kind of what we as humans should be walking around

317
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: doing at all times, right, thinking about the consequences of

318
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: your actions. Uh. And then the last one that uses

319
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: systematic desensitization, which is relaxation therapy and substituting relaxing feelings

320
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: instead of the urge to steal. All of those are

321
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: probably the most difficult thing kleptomaniac will ever attempt to.

322
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: I found another little study though, let's hear it check.

323
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: In April of this year, they started a test where

324
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: they gave kleptomaniacs or cleptomania, what do we call them again,

325
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: those with kleptomania, people with cleptomania. I guess no one

326
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: wants to be called a maniac in any way. Uh.

327
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: They they studied they got twenty five habitual thieves men

328
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: and women between seventeen seventy five, and they gave them

329
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: the drug nal trek Zone, which is what they give

330
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: alcoholics and drug addicts to curb their their bad behavior.

331
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: Is that the stuff that makes your hangover really really bad?

332
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: I think so it's supposed to quell those impulses, and

333
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: it kind of worked. Um. After eight weeks they found

334
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: that two thirds of the people who had not give

335
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: them the placebo had no urge to steal, and only

336
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: like eight percent had placebo did so. They also ate

337
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: their vegetables and went to bed when they were told

338
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: to be good drug we could use that, chuck. Is

339
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: that it almost we're going to travel back to the

340
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: beginning now or this should have been at the beg

341
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: name kleptomania was um. I think it first appears in

342
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: literature in three seven CE. Okay, Uh St Augustine admitted

343
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: to Uh, lusting to thieve by St. Augustine was something

344
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: mounts he really was if he existed at all um

345
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: and then it ends up in the medical literature. In

346
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: eighteen sixteen, a Swiss physician by the name of Matthey

347
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: wrote of a unique madness characterized by the tendency to

348
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: steal without motive and without necessity. Do you have an

349
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: eighteen sixteen And then Freud came in and said that

350
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: has something to do with penis envy, no kidding, And

351
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: now it's a forty five well not just a kleptomania,

352
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: but shoplifting is a forty five billion dollar in this country,

353
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: took off from eighteen sixteen to two thousand nine. It's

354
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: good stuff, all right, Well that's kleptomania. If you want

355
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 1: to know anymore, you can read the article by our

356
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: own Dr Freud um by typing in kleptomania. Remember it

357
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: because with the cake uh and the handy search bar

358
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: at how stuff works dot com. And since I just

359
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: said that, of course, dear friends, this means listener. Mayo, Josh,

360
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call this hippie Rob followed up, you're

361
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: old buddy, hippie. Should you say something about hippie Rob? Well,

362
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: let's wait till after h Hi Josh and Chuck. I

363
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: like him when they stripped that way. I don't normally

364
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: right into TV shows or radio shows, etcetera. But I've

365
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: heard Josh talk about Hippie Rob and at the end

366
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: of the Hangover podcast, he mentioned that he wanted to

367
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: hear from people who knew of his whereabouts. I do,

368
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: in fact know at Hippie Rob and wanted to offer

369
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: my knowledge of this person to determine if it was

370
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: the same hippie Rob. And I've seen this email and

371
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: I know that it's a real Hippi Rob because he

372
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: capitalized the h and the robber. The hippie Rob I

373
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: know is originally from vinyl Haven, Maine, a medium side

374
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: a medium sized island off the coast of down East

375
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: Main and say things weird there. Dummy his full name,

376
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: I didn't say his full name here, but it's Robert

377
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: Blank and uh. He has thick, blonde dreadlocks. He's sure

378
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: tell tale sign of a hippie. Sure he was about

379
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: five ten and never talked about his age, but I

380
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: would put him in the upper thirties and possibly lower

381
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: forties in nine. He loves coffee, hates alcohol, and he

382
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: mentioned one of his other habits that he loves, which

383
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: we're not going to mention on the air. But his

384
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: name is Hippie Rob. So fill in the blanks. Uh.

385
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: He squatted at my apartment in Portland, Maine the summer

386
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: of nine. So close. At the time, he was living

387
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: off the Social Security from a quote permanent work related accident.

388
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: I think we've all known a hippie Rob, but something

389
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: told me that his permanent disability was not physically related.

390
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: I would see him every few summers in Maine and

391
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: he would shoot the breeze. We would shoot the breeze

392
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: while drinking coffee and doing other things. He was a

393
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: terrible mooch. I know that he loved to travel the

394
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: warm places in the winter, with his favorite being Hawaii.

395
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: And uh, if you read this on the air, could

396
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: you have a shout out to my girlfriend Kristen, who

397
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: was an amazing sport about me listening to the podcast

398
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Galen from Portland, Maine. So, Josh, is it can't be Rob?

399
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: Know there's a couple of things missing here. Is so close?

400
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: I mean the age one thing is this. No one

401
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: knows the origin of the real hippie Rock. No one

402
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: knows where Hippie Robs from. He does um, he uh.

403
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: And he's blonde, although you would say more like strawberry

404
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: blonde ish, not true blonde. Um has beard, kind of

405
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: a little guy. Uh. In he would have been late

406
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: thirties or so. World class. Yeah, well you used to like,

407
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: you know, we'd buy beer, and we'd buy Sierra Nevada

408
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: beer and Rob didn't have any money for a while,

409
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: and then he get paid and um, he would be

410
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: his turn to buy the beer and he'd buy like

411
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: a twelve pack of Milwaukee beast ice and would be

412
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: like this, this is not the same Rob. Um. There's

413
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: a dog missing. And this is a very key point.

414
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: The dogs Sudonna. I'll have to tell you about him

415
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: some time. He's a wolf Dogsdona. Hippie Rob owned yes, no,

416
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: they they were best friends. There was no best friends. Um.

417
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: And then the real giveaway was that hippie Rob loved

418
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: alcohol right that he would never even now he could

419
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,239
Speaker 1: have given up booze. No one would have. No one

420
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: would say, hippy Rob hayes alcohol. He just doesn't drink

421
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: it anymore and he probably still has. Hippy Rob loves alcohol.

422
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: So that was the one that listed tale tale giveaway.

423
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: So not hippie Rob unfortunately. Yeah, and uh, I guess
