Well, I was just trying to give you a backhand compliment there by saying you're good at not being fun. Oh, gee, whiz. That's funny to get that kind of criticism from such a nerd. I don't know if it's topsy-turvy day, but it's upside-down. Oh, guys, hey, I put butter and peanut butter together today, so I'm pretty crazy. Your wild. Hey, guys, hey, I put butter and peanut butter together today. So I'm pretty crazy. I didn't think that was easy. Hey, so we should be illegal. So what should we?

We've done two live shows now. And my parents were at our live show this weekend, last weekend. And somebody asked them, who's your favorite reporter on the show? And mom did the polite thing and said, well, obviously I'm biased, so I'd say Jess. And I was like, mom, I'm not even my favorite.

That's correct, Dan. Obviously it's Dave. And then she was like, yeah, but that means you and Matt get to just like be, you guys just get to hang shit on Dave. Yeah. And that's what we do best. Right. Again, another backhand compliment there.

Thank you Annie, you appreciate that. Appreciate that. Woo. Backhand it there. Thank you Annie. Appreciate that. Appreciate that. Backhand it across the board. Yeah, we're all put down from that. No one's come across well. But thank you to all the parents that attended on... Oh hang on. Well my parents were also there. Matt's well, let's begin. I'm so I I left two seats, 74 them. I'll stand there with my baseball mitt. It was my first game in Little League. Oh, he just went to the milk bar to get some smoke. So dad had to go get me a read. He didn't know what it was. Now I'm playing a saxophone or a saddle and I'm least a Simpson. Anyway, um, but yeah, we had a lot of people come out, packed out another second of four live podcasts

and it was a lot of fun. It was great. It was great. It's over when they came along. Of course, I have to give a big shout out to Gayle and Preston who came from Utah and by now you may have seen some photos on social media which were posted up of we were given some gifts. It's pretty amazing.

But Gayle had made some puppets. And you can look like us. Here and see that all happen on Patreon episodes later this month, which we'll put out that one there. And there's video over it as well, which will be there for the Patreon. The puppets. They're for senior face.

Make those shirts. Oh, a good day. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER I see your face, make that shine before. Oh, a good day. I love it. Okay, great. It's just very unfamiliar. It's going to be really hard for him to do it ever again now. I reckon that's one and done. Yeah, let's go to the tight.

It's bad to hear, I'll remember, I'll cherish that. Chairs thought. That's why I don't speak French anymore It's too destructive for all because That was joyous, but we're trying to tell you that we had a great time and you two can be part of the fun We've got two new two bono's gonna be bono will be opening for us and then the edge will be closing Wow Adam Clayton is not invited oh And Larry, I'm a little senior son.

Yes I'm what I'm just messaged him just then and said which one can you do? Oh confirmed it's a he okay. Oh She now doing a bit of James A. custom material. Or she. Anyway, let's stop doing in jokes. They're not in any way.

I was used. I pulled out a proof at the show on Saturday. You did, I was a fan of that. Dave, can you edit all this stuff out, please? It's too baffling. We've gone baffling too early. I should also plug that on edit this out. My show, Bone Dry, which has been so much fun.

And there's less than two weeks of it left now. I think there'll be 10 or 9 left when this episode comes out at the Chinese Museum, 7 o'clock every night by Monday and Sundays are at the very reasonable hour of 6pm. That is reasonable. So many great dumpling options around the corner. Dave, can you eat at that part out? Yeah, yeah. That was dry.

I always bone dry. Oh, the name of the show is bone cut. That's so much tape. Sort of good director does, my friend. Yeah. I've met, I've met, Eric and most of the night, there's been a one or two do-go-on listeners, which has been really cool. That's awesome.

And you should go see it. It is a really good show. Thanks. I say that very reluctantly. You hate me, but you respect me. I respect your art, but I hate you. Hate you as a person. Love you as an artist. Yep, I'm the modern day for going through some options here. No.

Picking us. No. Who's a bad person? No. Kevin Sorbaugh. No, I'll wait. Yes. Yep, that would be right. Love your art hate your person Yeah, my first interview was to say Adolf Hitler, but that made no sense at all. He was a painter. Yeah

Made some sense my subconscious made a good bit. Good on role Paris. No, that feels worse Well, he's made, that's a big call. Yeah, it's a big lead. We can do it. Just do edit all of this first section out if we can start the show. Okay, welcome to the great show that is Do Go On. Thanks everyone for tuning in. We got to make a quick note for last week's episode, which was recorded live, and it was about the great man, Sydney Scheinberg, and Matt, at the time, you said that you forgot

to say the official suggestor of that topic. Yes, that's right. So we'd like to thank a big shout out to Patrick Webb. So a lot of people tweeted us saying, hey, you should do us a topic, but Patrick Webb was the only one that filled out the official form and put it into the hat. So Patrick, you made it happen.

Just for your admin. That's the problem. Because it's admin skills. Yeah, because we, yeah, it's very hard to figure out who's suggested stuff unless they put it in the hat. Yeah, we can't go back through because there's so many different ways people comment and leave them in.

So basically if you want us to do a topic, make sure it is in the hat. There's a link in the description of this episode, which is where I got this topic that I'm about to tell you about and I didn't know about it before. Someone suggested it. I thought we were just gonna do admin this episode. Yeah, I've got some emails to reply to and...

We'll reply live. I've got one here from John in the United States of America. Wow. Thank you for writing in John. That can be fun. You can just hear me typing and talking out loud. Well, I've got to leave. That'll be a fun Patreon bonus episode.

We write back to emails live and on Census. Dave uses the spacebar in a saucy way. We're right back to email live and uncensored. Dave uses the spacebar in a saucy way. Oh, find out how. The backspace, the backspace. Oh, keep back in spacing up. Oh, all right, let's get into the show. If you haven't heard of it before, let me get us out of trouble by telling you

that it is a show where one of the three of us reports on a topic suggested by a listener via that form and that the Jack the Hat that I just mentioned and it is my turn to tell you about a topic that you don't know what it's going to be. And to get us on to topic, I'm going to ask you a question. I don't expect you to know the answer. How do you? But if you do. From what? Five points each. Ooh. Actually, to the winner. To the winner. Yeah, that's much easier to the winner. Okay makes me so happy. That makes me so happy.

Okay. The weird game. Yeah. I don't like this game. It could be a tie. You've already made this weird. Okay. Question.

Which company was the target of? Big. Oh. Big she's locked out now, I think. Is there a? Yes, it's over to you Matt, which is not never good. Could I get the full question, please? Could I have it in a sentence?

Yes. This question is a sentence. Which company was the target of the two largest cash robberies in US history in the same year target? I'm sticking with BIC. BIC and target. Is that because it was a target? Makes sense. What was it a casino? No, it is a... Hang on. What's the question? I wasn't listening beyond when you said target. Well, I'll pick it up from target. Of the two largest cash robberies in US history, in the same year. Was it the Bellagio?

Oh, yeah. See, that's what I was thinking. It was not a casino. I asked that. Did you stop listening also when I... Yeah, I didn't live with anything beyond the word target. I don't expect you to know,

because we don't have this company in Australia. Okay, what don't we have? Okay, what don't we have? We have a lot of people, Sarah Pys. Yeah. I don't know what it is. What, how many of these do we have to do before we get to a point where one of us genuinely forgets

that we've done the topic before. That's the whole research and brings it in. I forget constantly. Yeah, remember we did watch UK? Still blessed my mind. Sometimes you say like, yeah, like we talked about on that episode and I'm like, dude, but that's the same or the main thing.

We've got to think of some American things. Burger King. Chipotle. What's their version of Taco Bell? Taco Bell. Taco Bell. So close. Taco Bell was the target of the two largest cat robberies

What kind of can you give us a clue as to what kind of company they're a cash handling company with arm and trucks You won't know it. Can I tell you what it is? It's a chub. It's two words. I'll give you a job. Is it chub? Chub so good. Is it chub? Imagine having a company called chub chub withubb? Chubb with a double beat. Yeah, that's real Chubb. The extra beat is for bring your own Chubb. That doesn't make any sense. Okay, okay, you want to give us the first word.

Okay, first word is Lumaise. Second word is Fajah. Fajah. Lumaise, so close. Fajah, Fajah. Fagah. Fagah. Oh, Loomis fight so close. Farger. Fargo. Fargo. Yeah, got it.

Got it. Thank you. Fuck you. Yeah, you did say. Fuck one's each to map. So it wasn't Loomis Farger. No, I wish it was. Disappointing.

It's Loomis Fargo. Loomis Fargo. Which I hadn't heard about this before, but they were the target of the two largest cash robberies in US history in the same year. And I'm gonna tell you about those hikes. It is a hikes to episode. Yeah. That question, you, I mean.

You fucked us on that question. Not a good question, though. Yeah, Dave, not your best question. Maybe Annie Perkins thinks you're the best report writer, but you're the shitdest question writer. And Jess doesn't even write questions. And I used to do that for a job. Trying to think of questions.

All right, well, maybe at the end you can critique me with a better question once you know other facts. But I didn't want to give anything away because it is, it's a wild story. Cool. I love a wild story. I know you do. Oh, you got to love this. I've been suggested by two people. David Hicks from North Carolina.

See, he went to Quentana Mobile. Not the Australian, possible terrorist. Never know the locality of that. Was he a terrorist and then? A legend, just like to. A legend. But this is H-I-X, so I spelled it from the David Hicks from North Carolina.

And Marcus Brisbane from Gothamburg, Sweden. Wow, cool. Wow, cool. I love all of that. This was voted for by the Patrons. Patrons supporters. I put three topics in there. I don't know if you guys do this. You put three in there.

You secretly hope for one to win. Always. I actually wanted a different one to win. Oh. Secretly. But then this one, and since writing it, they know the show better than me. So I appreciate that. They've picked a good one.

Trust in the picture. I mean, that's the best thing about the vote is that I normally put up three that I think are good, and then they seem to know how to pick the best one. Yeah, I was happy with all three, but I just thought there was one other one, which I might get to in the future, but this one. Les Isenaget. Which as well. I know.

Damn it. I'm going to now. No, please don't do. I can't remember what it was called. Yeah, just saying that, mate. I'm going to bloody hack the main frame. Oh, I get out of my main frame. She's already in there. Look, she's tippin' a tap it in a way. Oh, no. Oh, she can do something sorcery that space. A space, a space, a space. Okay, let's get into it. Loomis Fargo and Co is a cash handling company running armored trucks transporting cash and maintaining ATMs across America.

Oh my God. That's the one I've been trying to think of this whole time and I didn't get into he said armored trucks and I was like, ah, oh my God. So they like Armageddon. They like Chub. If it helps put it in perspective for listeners, they're like a chub. Yeah for any American This is the struggling. It's like a chub. Yeah

So Luma's Fargo was basically formed Never noticed her funny chub. It is a company chub. Chub I think I do multiple things as well. They're quite a big. Much like BIC. BIC, oh yeah, well they got two pens, four pens, eight pens. They do raises.

BIC raises. Yeah, whoa, probably do other stuff. Anyway, I'm so sorry to do go on. Loomis Fargo was basically formed in 1997 when two decades old armoured security companies, one called Wells Fargo Armoured Service and Luma's armoured Incorporated came together to form one massive and super armoured service.

Sort of like the power range is coming together. Sick. The first year as this company did not go well. During the first year of operation, the company was the target for the two largest cash robberies ever committed on American soil. That's the top two in the first ever year of operation. I mean, the first year is always tough for the new business. That's not good. And then, Adian being targeted for heists, you'd be like, Plenty held. I'm hoping to see the end

of this financial year. Tell you that for free. Yeah, for free. I got no money. Come to my first time in UMass. The first Heist occurred in March 1997 when employee Philip N. Johnson, Onizou, stole $18.8 million. Whoa. Philip and Johnson on his own.

That doesn't make any sense. Philip N. Johnson. What's the N for I wonder? Nelly. N-Fanelli. Yeah. You're a big burjo fan. N for I wonder? Nelly. N for Nelly, yeah. You're a big burjo fan. I was not a fan. Oh man, we're gonna trigger.

It's not a funny burjo on Twitter. John is so funny. John is so funny. He does tweets every Friday and finishes them all with TGIF. And then have you noticed that dozens of people write back TGIF made a John? TGIF I did John. Oh man, it's so good.

He used to host our sale of the century. No, he didn't. Wheel of Fortune. Wheel of Fortune. And also Burgers catchphrase. Burgers catchphrase, which I thought was a fantastic show. Can I just put that on the record? Anyway, Phillip N. Johnson on his own.

Phillip Nelly Johnson on his own. Sorry, I don't know in that well, I really should Nelly Johnson on his own, I'm sorry. I don't know him that well, I really should. Did it on his own? He stole 18.8 million from the Loomis Fargo armoured cart that he was driving on. I mean, just carrying that would be hard, that's a lot of cash. But he's already got an armoured car, he can take it away. He didn't have to carry, that's right, because he handcuffed his two co-workers in different places,

he overpowered them, handcuffed them, dropped them off, and then kept driving the truck. He stole the money inside and stashed it in a warehouse, but he was caught trying across the border into Mexico, arrested and sentenced to 25 years in jail. Oh, right. So he didn't get to spend his scent. Oh, no. Not even, like, didn't even buy himself an ice cream. Yeah, petulieve, surely, you have to fill up on the way. He didn't spend a cent. He didn't spend a cent. Wait he wasn't doing petal on his own savings, was he? That would be silly.

I would have played it in Boolean. He put it on his card, he tapped it and then went, oh shit. Sorry, can you undo that transaction? Of course. And then he just gave him a gold nugget instead. He tried to tap on a Boolean on the tap on. Yeah, they had that 97.

New money, my wife. This guy was new money. But but he was arrested 25 years ago. That's the first highest. The next highest to affect Loomers Fargo that year is the subject of today's story. Okay. So that was the first massive highest. You really didn't get through that one pretty good.

Yeah. That one in comparison is quite dull, to be honest. I mean, he did it by himself. Yeah. I would be more impressed if he carried it, because you know when you've got a few too many coins in your wallet and your wallet's heavy? Yeah.

I'm like, what's that? How? That's a few dollars. Yeah, this is a few million. Whoa. What's that compared to a few dollars and many times? Several million. Several million times.

Bloody hell. You are a good amount. That is hate. It was so fast. It was really fast. And that does give me an idea of how heavy it would be. Yeah, a couple of me at a time, too. Yeah, just imagine two Olympics,

I was swimming pools filled with money. No, just imagine two. Yeah, great. Now she's on board. I feel like I'm for a swim. Yeah. You know what Dave? All right, let's get into the main story.

In 1997, also the same year, 27 year old David Gantt. David Gantt, had just been made, Volt supervisor at the Loomis Fargo warehouse in Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte, North Carolina, I know a good fact about that. Really? Is it involved Loomis and Orfago? No, but they have a basketball team, they're called the Hornets, and as a kid I played for the Bentley Hornets. Ah, there you go. Didn't expect that at all.

We've learned a lot here today. We're playing more time for more Charlotte facts as this whole story is based in North Carolina. I think that might be all the ones I have. I was talking to Jess. Yeah, I got a haze. Okay, cool. David Gantt worked his ass off putting in long hours at work but apparently wasn't cut

out to be Vault Supervisor. He had recently left some cash unattended, and although nothing had happened to it, his boss told him if it happened again, he'd be fired. Oh, that's no good. On the morning of October 5th, 1987, Gantt's wife Tammy made a call to local police reporting her husband, David Bissing. He'd done the night shift at Luma's Fargo but had never returned home. The police and an officer down to Luma's to check it out and were surprised at what they found. David's truck was parked out the front of the Luma's gate,

which was unlocked. The officer went inside and found that the door to the warehouse was also open, but no one was around. It was all a bit sus, so we called in some backup. Oh, I love that. Aluminus supervisor met him and the backup inside. So they went in to find that the giant walk-in vault was locked, but all of the keys were missing. So it was one unmarked van, and so was David Gant. He's in the vault. Where is David Gant?

In the vault. Oh, thank you. That's my guess. It's a good guess. Someone's come in, taken the cash,t? In the vault. Oh, thank you. That's my guess. It's a good guess. Someone's come in, taking the cash, locked him in the vault. Right. That's embarrassing.

Hopefully they're like, having something to do in there. Yeah. It's a doku, but... I mean, it's a bit same, isn't it, so doku? Yeah, that's part of it. I mean, I don't have to give you something fun to,

are they? It shouldn't be a pleasant experience for him. Well, it's not his fault that they've robbed him. But I mean if they're already robbers. Oh you know you're saying robbers are bad people. Yeah. Oh that is just like you. Yeah.

Judging, you don't know the story. Don't need to. How do you know that they weren't stealing that money to give to like a really bad person? Who had cancer. Oh, and working on themselves. Sorry if it gives too much away, but is that the case? Well, well, we're going to find out it is at this stage unknown. I don't think it is.

Gant had closed up the night before and was working alongside a new trainee. The cops checked the videotapes and the security camera in and around the vault, but both of the tapes were missing. Oh! But in a second locked cabinet, however, there was a backup third tape that was still there. The officers played the tape, and the supervisor was shocked by what he saw. There on the tape was his employee of several years, David Gantt, unloading the vault of all its money years David Gantt unloading the vault of all its money Well don't say to third time because something bad will happen. Oh, no

Kill up here. Oh, no with a lot of money He's banging on the vault door. Please someone say my name. Get me out of here. I'll bring you $18 million Or some other number that Dave said before. No, that was the previous highest. Will this be it? Or be just shy? Only time will tell.

But the money that was stolen was the property of federally insured banks. And this meant that the robbery was a federal offense, and the FBI could be called in. Ooh, the Fibby. Ooh, the Fibby's are in. Oh, the Feds, hey. Oh, looks like the... I prefer Fibby. Yeah, Fibbies are in the feds. Hey, oh, looks like the I prefer Fibbies. Yeah, you're mispronouncing it, am I? Oh, yeah, say Fibbies. It's fun. Fibbies.

You better when they arrive there, what you definitely better believe that would have been a don't you give me any this jurisdiction bullshit man. This is our coast now. This is our town. Hey, I'm the sheriff in this town. Hey, I'm the mayor of this town. Huh? Well, I'm the president of this town You're out of order. You're out. You can't handle the truth. Yeah, we've seen American stuff. Yeah, come on We know a little bit about it. Talking to me. Hey, booby We just quoted the three best American folks So the fibs rocked up. They quickly started interviewing David's wife, family, friends, and co-workers. They discovered that Gantt

was a Gulf War veteran, had been honorably discharged and had never been in trouble with the law in his life. No one in the FBI interviewed could believe that he was capable of such a thing, especially his wife. She explained that they lived quite frugally, paycheck to paycheck in their mobile home and that David hadn't shown any science of strange behavior over the preceding weeks. No one seemed to even give him credit to pull off such an audacious crime and then disappear. They just didn't think he was capable. They were like, nah, not him. He's been a bit of a loser to be honest. He wouldn't be able to do this. Would you guys be surprised if I did something like that? Absolutely not. I would be surprised. Thank you Matt. You don't.

Fuck you Dave. I think I know. I think you got it in you. You're just too busy. I think you could do it. Too busy. Yeah. I really thought you were going to say I'm too stupid. So that's nice. Thank you. Yes, stupidly busy. And I mean, you know, you grew up with a butler. Just go ask your butler for a loan if you need one for you. Yes, definitely busy. And I mean, you grew up with a butler. Just go ask your butler for a loan, if you need one. Yeah, Charles.

Money please. That's the Donald Trump defense when he's like, I mean, I'm already rich, so why would I be corrupt? I don't need to be corrupt. I'm already rich. Some people went for that. Anyway, incredible, ridiculous. Oh, you you gonna start commenting

on American politics, Nadeve? Yeah, I think that's a little out of your jurisdiction. Hey, you give me any of that jurisdiction. I'll shove your jurisdiction up my house. Hang on. Okay, I'm back. No, please, no. Please, take it.

You can have the case, all right? I had one day to a retirement. I'm retiring one day early. I quite like that as well. That's always people fighting to do more work. If it was different kind of cops, they'd be like, no, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, this is your jurisdiction, isn't it?

Really, I'm gonna go back to the computer and play solitaire. No way, Malone, this ain't my case. I saw nothing. I've got no leads, I don't know anyone. You get in there and do what you do, but I don't do anything, I don't do crime. I'm a pencil pusher, and I love pencils.

He shoves him up, he's butt. Yeah. Oh, I don't know. That's his jurisdiction up there. So everyone was like, he couldn't do it. He couldn't do it. And yet, here he was on video tape, unloading the vault. Where's the train E?

We don't know yet. So he's unloading the vault. He's unloading something. Either he was stealing the money or someone was forcing him to steal the money. The FBI were worried about Gant. Perhaps he was still locked inside the vault, I have written here. The FBI were worried about Gantt. Perhaps he was still locked inside the vault I have written here. They were genuinely worried about this, about this.

And also, yeah, I guess is there a reason only one tape was caught? Do they want them to find that tape? Many questions. Early on. Luma's couldn't locate any of the keys, so they brought in a specialty locksmith to break into their own vault, which to be honest, I'd be pissed off that you can break into the vault. This vault is clearly not a good vault, because I got in there. When they got inside, they found it empty of both money and David. No one was in the vault. Not in the vault.

Nothing was in there. 2800 pounds or 1200 kilos of currency had been unloaded. That's so many kilos of currency. Ridiculous. All up 17.3 million US currency had been stolen. Just shy. 11 million was in 20 dollar notes that were to be used to stock 80ms. All up, that's 28 million US today. So you could definitely spread all those out on a bed and just... Oh, you could like carpet your entire apartment in $20.

Sick. So you don't even have to spend the money. You just use it for price of $20. You just build stuff. And wipe asses with it. Yeah, that first guy did not need to go to Mexico at all. I'm here to build stuff and wipe asses with it. Yeah, that first guy did not need to get a Mexico at all. I'm here to build stuff and wipe asses. And I'm all out of building stuff.

Oh. Wipe and asses is my jurisdiction, man. Because the cash was to go into general circulation, it was non-sequential, non-marked, and was impossible to trace. Ah, fuck. Because that's always the thing when people like, want ransom money. You can just trace it like it's, yeah. Not unless they say, I want non-sequential bills.

Yeah, and then the FBI's like, Twaw, they got us. And then they use invisible ink. Yeah, and then like, And then like, you're a dickhead on it. Yeah. And then they put them under the marker's cap, they got me. Faw. Oh. They put them under the marker's cup. They got me.

Oh, they call them up. You're out of order. No, you're out of order. We should get America. Yeah. I already fit right in. Right country. Greg country. All right. Beautiful country. Country. Golds country. The fibres, the FBI, search the scene for clues. And when they got into David's truck in front of the warehouse,

they discovered he's wetting ring in the ash tray. Oh no he was having an affair with a truck. Oh no. He tends to ash. Oh he loved that truck. Yeah physically unmentally. It was a full affair. Yeah sometimes people have an affair but it's only emotional. Yeah. he didn't physical. He fucked that truck. You better believe me, fuck that truck. He fucked that truck with his wedding ring. No wedding finger.

Oh. I got stuck in the truck. That's what's in the truck. He came off. Hey, crazy things happen when you're a fashioner. Yeah, you wouldn't know about that, but yeah. Hey, I've taken off a few wedding rings in my time I've had affairs with several married people. I'll be like I'm sorry. This is hard for me unless you take that off

And I just getting off their finger Sorry, let me get some let's get some lemon juice. So be water or something. Oh, no. Oh, no, fingers are swollen. OK, now we're going to have to wait for it to subside. I'm sorry, OK. Anyway, let's just hold on to that full play. Oh, god, this is sexy. That full play feeling.

TGIF. TGIF, full play feeling. TGIF, F. Thank Thank God I full play fairly. Dave, please continue with the full play. Like, baby John Burgess is in the room. Are the FBI wanted if he was sending them a signal? Was he saying that he'd moved on with his life and cut ties to his loved ones? Or was this a cry for help?

Yeah, this is someone they didn't believe could possibly have done it. Now they're like, oh, is it a cryptic clue? I mean, is an idiot? is he capable of cryptic? Why was it, because he was an idiot, they thought he wouldn't do it or was, because he was a good person. I think both. Oh, and not even, it's not just an idiot,

but not brave enough, not balsy enough to be like, fuck this, I'm just gonna steal $8 million dollars. Oh, I imagine that would be the most heart-breaking thing to find out. It's not that they think you're too good to commit a bad crime, it's that you just don't have the guts. I could, I could. I could.

I just don't wanna. I don't wanna, but if I wanted to. I could definitely do. I could, so shut up. I'm not a good person. No, I'm a bad person. I'm gonna kick over to that bin. I'm a bad bad boy. Yeah, I'm a bad person. I'm gonna kick over that bin. I'm a bad bad boy.

Yeah, I'm gonna go by a love the jack out. Yeah. Yeah, I smoke now. Yeah. Ah! Ah! Cool. He did smoke.

Ah! Ganswell, I've told the FBI that they'd recently run up a small credit card debt. I didn't think this would have resulted in him stealing millions of dollars. He's overcorrected a bit. Yeah. All right, we owe two grand and he's just stolen 17 million. I told you he was not good

at math. They really had no motive for the crime and David had been following his normal routine to a T. No, we had science. I like the idea of no motive for stealing $18 million. Like people need a motive for that. Wouldn't the motive motive for stealing $18 million. Like people need a motive for that. Wouldn't the motive be to have $18 million? Wow. Before this house, he didn't have $18 million. And he wanted it.

That was his motive. That's fair. I do, I probably wouldn't. Well, what would I do for a ticket? There's a long list. Anyway, just continue. I'd be a bit short of this, what I wouldn't do it? There's a long list. Anyway, just continue. Yeah, be a short list what I wouldn't do for any of the million, but... Yeah.

Can't even think of the first one. I left you a little space there. Couldn't think of one. Alright. The local Charlotte media found out about the heist on the Monday, two days afterwards, and the FBI came forward and named their nationwide... Named their nation. They released a wine, what an inappropriate time. Come on, guys, here, his crimes to solve.

He was on the prize, fellas and ladies. They made me call this press conference to announce a beautiful range of semi-ombal and check out the Sandra Vazy. And any updates on the case? On the Rose, yes. On this case of rosé. You'll note hints of strawberry and gooseberry. But the big highest, anything on the highest? Well, yes, if we do find the person who stole this money,

they will be able to buy nine milky bottles of this deliciously cheap wine. Deliciously cheap. Two dollars a bottle. How quick was that, maths? That's real quick. I'm getting so much better. I've been doing just the calculated perkins.

Some mental exercises. Really? No. I wanna do that. What a bit of rest. Yeah, okay. I don't wanna improve myself, I'm perfect. Perfect perkins.

Once they're not announced they're wine, they also announced and named their nationwide manhunt, which they called Operation Sha Lute, which I can only assume came from the FBI's pun to Parliament. Sha Lute. Sha Lute. Because they're in Sha Lute looking for a Lute. Don't know if I have to explain it. You did, because I missed it. Oh, really? I was like, just gonna shoot me down for explaining this, but just in case, then you're like,

nah, good one. I forgot I ran Charlotte. They, Charlotte loo. They don't normally do that, do they? No. I reckon one of them just thought of it, and they thought it was so good. They just had to go with it.

You think that'd be something like the media would come up with, but it's so good that it's coming from the FBI. And if the media calls it anything else, they're like, come on, guys, please. Better consistency across the board. It's a charlotte. What's the documentary on this? And it was like, now the FBI had a super catchy name.

That's so good. They were ready to find their guy. It's a first thing you're needing, crime fighting. There's a first-ing and eating crime fighting. There was, I think, catching Andrew and Paul. And I saw a good one this week. Joe D'Ainquin, Apple comedian. She posted the signatures at the swimming pool, and they're doing Pilates at the pool.

And they've called it pool-lates. But it's spelled like P-double-o. No. L-A-T-E-S. Like, it reads as Poo-lies. That's Poo Lardies. That's Poo Lardies. That's Poo Lardies in the pool. Keep your Poo Lardies out of the pool.

Yeah, stop pooing in pools. Oh no. It's not the done thing. Anyway, it's apparently good for your health, so good for your core. Poo Lardies. That's cool though. Poo Lardies in a pool. Yeah, just need a maybe a little rebrand.

Yeah, a hyphen itself that I reckon. Yeah. That's an Operation Poulade. Did we ever get a chance? We got to try. We got to try and get one happening. All right, so Operation Charlotte. Loot. Amazing full effect. The FBI was still unsure if David was involved or coerced to rob the vault. Even if he was involved, they were still concerned for his safeties. He's missing. If he was working with other thieves, perhaps one of them could have knocked him off.

Because he's not a hardened criminal. Maybe he'd been taken in by some other hardened criminals. They were worried for his safeties. Some baddies. Some bad boys. And girls. The FBI interviewed over 100 people in the first 48 hours after the crime and then started delving into his past.

A lot of people characterized him as a bit of a loner. But he seemed to have one friend at work. Her name was Kelly Campbell. She'd worked with David at Loomis for years before leaving the job about one year earlier. Other colleagues said that they were often seen joking around, went out for lunch together and sometimes even hung out outside of work and were still in contact since she left. What?

So they were like, what's the word? Friends. But they were like, you know, I just don't think, I don't think you'd have friends. Right. So no one wanted to use the word friend, we're describing. I think we all know someone like that, don't think you'd have friends. Right. So no one wanted to use the word friend when describing. I think we all know someone like that, don't we? Yeah. Someone who is like, oh, he doesn't have a friend.

Look to your left, look to your right. And if it's neither of them, it's Dave. I'm sitting in a corner and I can't see anyone on my left or, oh no. It's happened again. No, Dave, were you business acquaintances? Thank you so much. 33% age. And I'm 34. Yes. Other colleagues, yes, said that they were friends and they still were in contact even since

you left. But when the FBI interviewed Kelly Campbell, she denied that they were ever even friends. Oh, which is a bit of a slap in the face. Yeah, what a bitch. that they were ever even friends. Oh, which is a bit of a slap in the face. Yeah, what a bitch. It didn't really add up. One contrast with other people's description of them. So the FBI were a little sus. She went a little too hard on the,

I don't know, not, never met him. I don't like him. He's terrible. Okay, if anyone's about a committed crime out there, you can't just lie about a thing that everyone else can disagree with. Yeah, we saw you had lunch with them every day. Now, was it me?

Who? Someone else. I look like another worker there. He seems Brendan. We just look so similar. Old Brendan and I. All right, we'll go check out if there's a Brendan. It looks like, no, don't do that.

No, don't do that. Brendan's disappeared. He's dead. And then I told the boss to pretend he never worked here for legal reasons. He's disappeared from the present and also from the past. He's gone. A scrub design from history.

I can't saw him. He did things. He was a bad guy. We're not allowed to talk about him anymore. Don't give him the energy or oxygen. Fuck you, Brendan. You know what you did. Just really doubling down. No, he's cancelled. He can't talk to him. Don't. Don't give the time a day. Which haven't addressed with this printed cancel? Tantulum. Yeah, one, two,

three, cancel the street. Canceled him. Don't talk to him. He's a dick. You, cancelled him. Yeah, one two three cancelled straight, cancelled him. Don't talk to him, he's a dick, you'll hate him. He's such a bad guy. He smells as well. He smells really bad. Oh yeah. Have you got gas masks, you'll need it if you were going to talk to him, which I don't reckon you should. He can't, so that is next.

I cut out his tongue so he can't talk anyway. Because of what he did. Yeah, don't worry, deserved it. Don't arrest me. Thank me. Yes, I'll have a medal of honor. Thank you. Now go. Please leave.

Please leave. I'm playing Scrabble online. I've played a word for a few minutes. Someone might leave the game. And I'm really up. I'm winning a lot. a few minutes, so I might leave the game and I'm really up. I'm winning a lot. I'm up by 15 points. I've never beaten this person ever before. And scene, or I-

It's such a rich character. Wow. Cali-Cable. Yeah. She hates printers. She loves gravel. Oh god, what a backstory. 48 hours after the crime, the stolen, unmarked, loomers fan was found.

Neither woods, less than 10 miles from the scene of the robbery. Okay. Completely abandoned. When they finally were able to break into the van because it was locked, they found, and it was a bulletproof vehicle, so it was really hard to get in. They were, they found $3.3 million of cash still inside. It was all the lower denominations, one and $5 bills, and it was assumed that the rubber said, that he'd run out of room or run out of time to take all the cash.

I think I was just leaving a tip. Thanks for the work. Big tipping culture in America. Yeah, they're like, oh, but we got a factor in what 10% of the bill? 15% of the bill is about right. They're generous, we're millionaires, we can afford it. Also inside the van was Gant's work issue pistol, the vault keys and the two missing security tapes.

So they obviously watched the tapes, and on the tape David can be seen doing a little celebration dance after loading the final money into the van. That's cute. They were now pretty certain he might be involved. Unless the guys, all girls telling him to do it are like, now dance. Dance, dance, begin. Wear the dance.

Put on the mask and dance for me, daddy. Is that right? He danced. He danced a lot. So the FBI hoped that David Gantt would contact his wife or family. And special agent Dick Womble was charged with keeping the clothes comfortable. Is anyone keeping track of the great dance?

Because that deserves to go straight into the leaderboard. Dick Womble. I'm Dick Womble. I've bolded it and capitalized it. Dick. Dick Womble. Dick Wom it. Dick. Dick Wombel. Dick Wombel. This is a special agent, Dick Wombel.

I mean, just specialization, Wombel is good. Yeah. You know, and then you, like, it'd be funny if you work with him for a while, you just call him to specialize at Wombel and then you find somebody calls him Dick and you're like, oh my god, he's like, Dick Wombel. Because our shimmy's name is Richard and there's so many things you can do with Richard.

You can be Richard. Rick. Rich Richard. Rick. Richie. Rick. Don't go for Dic. Is anybody go for Dic these days? I just think that he has such a great sense of humor or someone who has his parents named him legally Dic Wombel.

Dic Wombel. You can change that. I reckon that could be the best. Do you reckon that's top five? We're gonna have top five. That's gonna be up there, yeah. I'd love to see someone put together at least if anyone has the time.

Dick Womble is fantastic. Sadly for Dick Womble, his family didn't hear from David. I didn't have to mention this, but I just wanted to say Dick Womble for the tape. I also think that it's almost, it's almost too good that it's not that good again because it feels made up.

It feels like something, you know what I mean? It's, I don't believe a real person came up with that name. I think he knows he's being funny. Dick Wombel. I mean, every time he hands over his FBI badge to prove who he is. And someone goes, I know this is my jurisdiction. Yeah.

Get out of here. He says, I'm Dick Wombel. They say, right, this way, so. Yeah. You don't say, you don't, I'm Dick Wombel. Nice, I wrote this way, sir. Yeah, you don't say, you don't still shit from Dick Wombel. At Nordstrom, you can shop the best holiday gifts for everyone you love, all in one place.

The case was due to air when the popular show America's most wanted, and the FBI all gathered around to watch the TV show and stood by the phone, as they expected to light up once the tip off had it aired.

Because that's basically the point of that show. They put out a crime and say, if you've seen this man call us now. So they were ready. But sadly, the baseball ran long that night and the East Coast aired the baseball instead and a lot less than expected, we're able to watch the show. In a reenactment, I saw on the Discovery Channel, the FBI agents are all eating Chinese takeaway, and then one of them throws their fork at the TV in protest when the baseball stays on. It is great acting.

Very good, sir. Wait, so this has been reenactment. I thought you were talking about the America's most wanted reenactment, but there's a reenactment of people watching a reenactment. No, it's a reenactment of them being disappointed that they can't watch the reenactment. Why not? And then they throw a fork at the TV. A plastic fork? Oh, yeah.

Oh, thank goodness. Don't worry. The classic reenactment thing and it didn't like that. Someone will wipe their face with an app and throw it on the table. Did anyone do that? Yeah, was it any of that? Oh yeah, everyone. A lot of people. Any slamming fists on a table? Yeah, a lot of rolling of the eyes. A lot of hands on hips looking exacerbated. Harumps. Oh, were they're herumps? Yeah, and then they all yelled, you're out of order at the TV.

Wow, they were angry. Well, they were pissed off because, yeah, no one saw their most wanted episode, which basically was, they were hoping would get this guy's face out there. Could they not just like watch it on the internet later? Yeah. Do you know? It's like, what, you don't have reruns? Yeah, there was no ad break, or anything like that. How long it, that's like, what, you don't have reruns? It is weird that there was no ad break or anything.

How long is that, anyway? It's obviously a good reason for this. Couldn't play it the next night. Yeah. It may have been repaired. It was shown on the other side of the country, but they obviously won the year. What side of the country did it occur on?

The East Coast, yeah. Which is where they wanted people to see it and that's where the baseball ran long. Are they trying to say something? The baseball was the winner. I mean, if the I was the loser. I'd try and get some leads going. Loomis Fargo themselves offered half a million dollars for any information that could lead

to the recovery of the money and people asked to keep an eye out for anyone who had suddenly seemed to come into a lot of cash. Oh, shit. seemed to come into a lot of cash. Oh, yeah. You didn't get the char lute, but come in a cash. That meant somebody to use straightaway. Now, right, you can have to explain it today.

He didn't just imagine someone standing in a pile of cash. Wow. See, this is where you two have got black spots in your vision. I don't think, black spots is full of calm. I don't know. Having so much money that you're like, I got juice on this and it doesn't even matter. I'll just throw it out.

I'll just throw it in the fire. Oh, no, that'll smell bad. Oh, I don't do that. Chris, what are you doing? Brendan told me to do it. He's such a perv. It's a niche. That's a niche. It's a fetish.

Niche fetish is... And we're not fetish, Shaming. Saying your sperm on fire after coming on money. That's niche. US money, yeah. Australian money, that was my plastic. Don't the best one to do it. I want you to don't. I'm sorry, I did this. A man named Eric Payne was dobed in as having spent a lot of money that seemed out of character.

He also got that. PAY and E? PAY and I actually know what his PAY and E, I've just misspelled it the first time, hit his PAY and E. And Eric Payne is good, yeah. He brought the paint. Bring the paint! He was dubbed in as having bought a Chevy,

like a truck Chevy, so I'm pretty good at it. Oh, I really idea that some of us just go and cash. I just bought a car. Yeah. You're a suspect, me. It's a bit sus. You don't look like a beautiful car. He bought an expensive Chevy.

So he bought an expensive Chevy a Harley and first class tickets for a sweet vacation in the few days since the robbery It also been seen partying a lot and had bought breast enlargement for both of his sisters I thought that's that started off bad I was like, oh Creepy if it was for his wife. Well, he bought his wife breast enlargement and paid for her to have a nose job Is she asking for his wife. Well, he bought his wife breast enlargement and paid for her to have a nose job. Is she asking for his?

Are his sisters asking for this? That might be one of the last people I would want to give me money for that. It's so strange. This sounds like it's Biff Tannen in the weird future timeline, in fact, the future two, where he's bought Marty's mum breasts.

He goes, you paid for this, you can have them. Where he's bought Marty's mum. Breast? Where is she going? You paid for these? You can have them. Yeah. Wow. This is that guy. It does sell.

He's based on Donald Trump. He's sisters. Payne explained to his friends that the influx of money was from an inheritance, but whoever dubbed into the FBI didn't believe him. I mean, that is just such a weird thing, isn't it? So the FBI got hundreds of tip-off slight this, but when they investigated pain,

it wasn't just the strange behavior of buying your siblings' breast implants that stood out. He worked at a graphics company. That was also the breast themselves. Yeah. While they stood out, they botched the nipples back. That's a bad word. That's a botched.

That's such a good word. Well, he worked at a graphics company just across the street from where the abandoned van Good botched. That's such a good word. He worked at a graphics company just across the street from where the abandoned van had been found. Oh, well that's a bit dumb. When they looked into his opinion, they discovered that he'd paid for the Chevy in $20 notes. So they were like, this is all being a bit sus. But he wasn't the only one exhibiting strange behavior

when it comes to spending. In nearby Gaston County, a man purchased a $600,000 home and paid cash. $600,000 home in cash. And this is US in the 90s. So you know, you're looking at like close to a million dollars a month. That would be a mention. So a million dollar home.

Absolutely. The man was Steve Chambers. Not a good name. He had gone on an absolute spending spree. He paid cash for a truck, bought a new convertible BMW, a Rolex, spent $900 in tips in a single night and bought lots of art, including a velvet portrait of Elvis Presley. Okay, these guys don't sound super smart. No, also a velvet portrait.

That's fun. Well, surely, blue swade. Oh my god, yes. Yeah, I'm thinking like I had dumped to dumb to obviously flaunt all your money, but maybe these are the guys who did it so that that is now an obvious rule not to do it. Oh, I see. But why buy two cars? That's what I'm thinking.

It just feels like people are going to ask questions. There are some questions because before the high, Steve and his wife Michelle lived in a mobile home and had been unemployed for two years. And suddenly they're buying the equivalent of a million dollar pension in cash. You'd think at the very least you would wait a while. And this is days after this was when I said happened. The house he bought was in the tiny town of Kramerton just outside of Charlotte. It had only 2,500 residents and has the Guinness World

record for the shortest main street in the world at only 75 feet. So it's a really, really small town. They bought in an exclusive gated community. That's 75 foot long subs. Whoa. Hang on. That checks out. Thank you. Let's have to carry the one. They bought in an exclusive gated community called Kramer Mountain. So there's your first problem. In a small town people talk and they notice newcomers and in a gated community even more so.

Yeah. So not a good choice. Michelle told her new neighbors that her husband Steve was a former pro footballer who'd played for the Dallas Cowboys at a since become a very successful professional gambler. And also sold lawn-dramat in Texas. Okay. She's really flinging around the line.

Yeah, come on, mate. I mean, the gambling is fine, but it's pretty easy to figure out just by going and looking at a book if you played for the Cowboys or not. That's right. It's an all-day story and not many people believed it because the Dallas Cowboys book. The Reader's book.

Well, there's such a famous team that even the most die-hard NFL fans had never heard of Steve Chambers. Yeah. So they were a bit like, ah, that's a bit weird. Michelle also played for everything with packets of cash,

which is very, very suspicious. Packets. Hmm. Like chip packets? Yeah, filled with cash. That is pretty weird. You'll never wallet. Just carry it around and chip packet.

No, they're wrapped in those little paper ties that hold wads of cash together and then wrapped in big plastic blocks. And she's just whipping those out of the shops. Oh my god. The mayor of the town, Kathy Miles, lived a few doors down in the gated community. So they've moved in three doors up from the mayor

and she herself was superstars and spoke to local police. Who at first thought that they must have been spending newly acquired drug money. All right. You know, obviously there's no paper trial for drug money, so that's where they've got this cash. Police looked into Steve's history

and he had a criminal record for drug dealing and bookie stuff, but nothing major, sort of fixing little, fixing gambling stuff. Yeah, gambling gets broken sometimes. You've got someone's got to fix it? It's right, someone's got to sell laundromats in Texas. That's crazy. Eventually though, the cops,

sort of the recent heist and a lawyer of the FBI who by this time had hundreds if not thousands of tip-offs So you think if you'd robbed a vault you'd lie low, which is what you just said that but Chambers brought even more attention to himself when he was kicked out of a local club for causing a disturbance when he got into a fight with his wife Michelle over her suggestive dancing What was she suggesting Suggestive dancing. Oh, she's suggesting That he bloody picks up the he sucks and does the dishes once in a while

Wasn't wasn't so much a suggestion is one of those things where it's like I'm Suggesting, but really I'm telling you to brought she was she was literally spelling it out with a dance moves. Yeah, and he was S H D. Ah. That's all. SH. Yes. Was he Miss Brillette Dick Womble? I'm not even credible. He's onto us. We got it run. She's doing the Womble.

Sounds like a dance move. She's doing the charade. Sounds like. Fumble? As he was being thrown out of security, he offered to buy the club for $400,000 in cash. Oh my God. According to the Washington Post, they would also hire limousines to ferry their group of friends out to dinner at local restaurants.

So they are not lying low. Right. They're flying high. They are. It wasn't just Steve who was acting suspiciously. Oh no. The FBI painstakingly also went through local banking transaction records to see if there was any suspicious activity after the heist.

They went through thousands of documents and two things stood out to them were marked by bank tellers as suspicious. One of the incidents concerned, Michelle Chambers, the suggestive dancer. She had walked into a bank the Monday after the heist and shown the teller a brief case full of money and literally asked what the heist and shown the teller a brief case full of money and literally asked what the heist amount of money she could deposit without having to fill out any paperwork and create a paper trail.

What's the best way I can all wonder this money? She'd be, when the teller gave her a funny look, she then paused and said, don't worry, it's not drug money. Fucking hell, Michelle. I don't worry, it's not drug money. Fucking hell, Michelle. I don't winked at him. The teller noticed. She wipes bits of coke off the money.

It's fine. It's fine. That's a goat's of coke. It's not drug money. She winks, leans in and whispers, it's stolen from me in her eyes. You guys have a tele-client confidentiality right? Well, she broke that because the telenoge, the money in the suitcase still had loomis phago wrappers on it. Oh my god, Michelle, you dumb shit.

She filed a suspicious activity report which the FBI picked up on when they're going through all the records. We just got to take a second to think about that. That is absolute dumb shit So it's a suitcase full of money with loomers Fargo written all over it and says what's the highest amount you'll take of this without Tipping anyone off. Don't worry. It's not drug money. You absolute dumb shit. Have I said that enough times? So much It's incredible. Wait, did she say this with words or with dance moves? Yes, she acted it up. Sounds like not drug money.

So the FBI were pretty confident. Do you think dancing is charades? What do you think I'm doing on that dance floor? I'm spelling words. Mostly help me. Get me out of here. Get me out of here. These people are grinding a little too close for my life. Most people are cutting shapes, they've spell and words. I'm doing sums. One plus one. So the FBI were pretty confident that the couple chambers had the loomers money, but sadly they still couldn't prove it was the highest money. They started putting the couple under surveillance and noticed several trips to banks to make

deposits or set up safety deposit boxes. So they were obviously ferrying cash to and from the house. Local residents of the small town was suspicious of FBI cars that seemed to constantly be parked on their streets and the FBI even employed a plane to fly over the chamber's house to watch their movements and everyone of the town was noticing it. Why is there not enough to search their place yet? No, obviously there isn't. No, because the money's not marked. Absolutely. They can't.

They'll be like, all right, we can take you to, you know, we can arrest you for having for money laundering, but we can't prove that this is all the money. And also they're worried that they don't have all the money. So if they arrest them now, they might find half million bucks in under their mattress or whatever, but the rest might disappear forever. So they're worried about it. Yeah, they do sound like they're smart enough to have a way of making the rest of the disappear forever. So they come on it and they burn it. So there's all these FBI cars parked out outside of their house and there's planes lying overhead.

But everyone in the town is noticing, except Stephen Michelle, they're the only people who did not notice that they were being watched and they continued to spend all this money, all under the watchful eye of the FBI. Michelle bought a truck for a step farther in cash and Steve bought his wife a $43,000 diamond ring also in cash. Where do you go to buy that? Where can I, where can you, where's, where? Oh Angus and Koot. Bevel. Bevel. Oh, Brevel.

Is it Brevel Bevel? Bevels. Oh, that's right. Brevels make milkshake makers. Yeah. Bevel.. Oh, that's right. Brevels make milkshake makers. Yeah, Bevel, you're right. I'm bought a couple of rings. I've got a couple of $43,000 rings. I've got a couple of discount rings in my day. For, for who?

For good friends and acquaintances. I don't know, for good friends. Buying off cops, buying them off. Buying them off. Is that what do you think it's weird to go like, you and your wife have basically unlimited cash? And he's bought her, like, does that mean anything? Yeah, I've got you a beautiful ring.

Yeah, for her, like, she's like, well, you probably could have afforded a hundred thousand dollar ring. And so good I, this doesn't mean anything. We've stolen this money together. At least let me pick it. That's so much money. Is it the thought that counts?

Everything that maybe. Yeah, I thought about buying you a $43,000 and I did. Now the FBI knew something was definitely up with their behavior, but even after this surveillance, they couldn't connect them to the stolen money or to David Gantt, but they still didn't know where he was. There didn't seem to be any connection between the two parties. They couldn't work out how they'd even know each other. The FBI were getting desperate to make a connection between the two different groups and went

through Steve Chambers' high school yearbook. Inside it, they found a picture of Kelly Campbell. David Gantt's former co-worker that denied their friendship earlier on in the piece. Either this was an insane coincidence, and David Gantz's close friend also went to high school with this guy that was suddenly coming to lots of cash, or things were slowly starting to add up for the investigation. The FBI again interviewed Kelly Campbell, and she was the only one that's spoken to throughout this whole thing that refused to take a polygraph test.

She was standoffish and nervous when talking to the officers. Meanwhile, our football player turned gambler Steven Chambers and his cash-depositing wife Michelle bought furniture, bought a furniture discount center in town in cash. So now they're buying businesses. In cash. In cash. They're named enough. I literally don't even buy coffee in cash and I was it's it's crazy That's like four dollars. Yeah, I'm they're spending like hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash cash They who can count that

You're gonna have one of those little Love those things I want one You want to count your four dollars for coffees? I'm just let me check about the right money Yeah, and it's checked out. Do you know if in America, in North Carolina, do they, all these businesses and everyone who's collecting this money, selling stuff, do they, are they gonna have to forfeit that money at the end?

You know, like this business, whoever sold the business. Oh, because it's stolen money. Yeah. I'm actually not sure. If you, I don't know if you can argue that if you don't, if you didn't know about it and it was for you, it was genuine. To be honest, a few red flags would be raised for most people when they rock up and just be like, I want this business. Here's $300,000 in a brown paper bag. You'd be like, oh, okay. That's a little bit weird. Are they named the furniture shop after themselves and called it M and S furniture gallery? I think Marks and Spencer was born. I guess they didn't want to call it the S and M furniture gallery. Did you write that? You wrote that joke, Jamie? Yeah, that's good stuff.

That's good stuff. Don't call him out for writing jokes, Jess. No, you're right. That's admirable. Good job. I thought it was funny if it was written or if it wasn't. And any content you bought to you. No one loved it. Why didn't you love it? I'm the only one loved it. You said I thought that was very funny. That's what you said. Like a minute after. To be honest. That's pretty good from that. I thought I did. I thought that was very funny. Talking about the symphony and metallic album in that way, I thought it was very good.

That was definitely what I was representing. Then they really slipped up because Michelle was finally they'll really slip up. She was seen with Kelly Campbell at the furniture store. Oh my god Michelle you stupid woman. Kelly Campbell drove up in her own brand new spanking minivan and when the FBI looked into the license plate the van was registered to a known alias of Steve chambers so he'd obviously bought it and given it to her. They now you can buy any car and you buy a minivan. Yeah, you'd get a proper size van. Get a van.

Get a full van. Steve, you're tired. Get a hammer. You just bought his one for $43,000. You can't buy it. You can buy a minivan. It was actually a minivan. It was a tow ring.

It was a tow ring. I said, tow bar. I wanted a tow bar. I wanted a $44,000 tow bar. I want to pull a. I want a $45,000 Tobar. I want to pull a boat with a mini boat with a mini van. Oh, they're now at a solar connection between Kelly Campbell and the chambers. So they all know each, at least those two know each other.

At this whole time, the chambers kept spending in deposit in cash. This is Michelle, even handed in a packet of cash wrapped in money bands to the bank. One of them was from Luma's Fargo and had been signed by a Luma's employee and could be traced back to the vault that had been ransacked. Whoopsies. So now they had evidence that she is spending money from that vault. They could arrest her, but they decided to step out their surveillance to try and catch all the suspects and also reclaim all the money. Take the little paper tags off.

Honestly, that's all she had to do. Just do that. I'm an idiot. I thought of that. I'm guessing, well, I mean, you are hearing this in the context of it was a big crime. They obviously get caught. Do you know about it or not? Almost thought for a second that you were going to argue the point.

Yeah, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Dave, I got more of a laugh out of him. I know. Cause he said something funny. You didn't even have to write it down.

It's an, it's an M. That's good stuff though. That's good. I love it. They've got like the call of the Kudaloo. That's what he said. I've never had, I'm never trying to say that out loud. Instant regret. Was that a Metallica song?

The call of the Kudaloo. It's Instant regret. Was that a Metallica song? The Call of the Ctulu. It's a cover that they open Symphony Metallica with. It doesn't matter. It almost does not matter at all. Nothing else matters, I guess. In the end. Is that another Metallica reference? Yes.

It's also on that album. You saved it. Thank you. Well done. Someone out there would have enjoyed that. Maybe. Probably not. Hey, Judge K. the FBI permission to tap the chamber's it. Well done. Someone out there would have enjoyed that. Maybe. Probably. A judge gave the FBI permission to tap the chamber's phones and they started listening

in on their conversations. They heard chambers calling different people about money, including setting up a $2.5 million account in the Cayman Islands. You also spoke to Kelly Campbell, but sadly most of the conversations was inane and couldn't help them get a conviction. The FBI were about to abandon the whole plan and just swoop in and arrest them all. When Kelly Campbell told Steve Chambers that she just heard from David Gantt. They now knew that Gantt was still alive

and that they were all working together. What? David Gantt was sent a code via a page at a Kelly that indicated where and when he would call a pay phone and that's how she spoke to him. What? Kelly Campbell told Steve Chambers where and when she would next speak to David Gantt, so the FBI tapped that pay phone in anticipation. It rang as expected though, watching the pay phone, but Kelly never turned up to answer it. So an FBI agent ran out of a car, answered it, and briefly heard David's voice on the other end of the phone before he hung up. He was like, hello?

Dan's like, hello? I'll be like, I was like, hello? Dan's like, oh, and then he hangs out. That's all recorded. Yeah, they've used the recorded voice to confirm, they listened to it over and over and they've confirmed it was David Gantz. They're like, he's alive. Wait, what you just said happened actually happened?

Oh, yeah. Look on paraphrasing there. You're paraphrasing, hello. Yeah, he's definitely said hello. And then David Gantz said hello. And then when you realized the other end of the phone, it wasn't Kelly. He hung up. Why didn't Kelly turn up unless she was watching the telephone box to see if they were being

like, I don't think she was watching. She wasn't watching. No, none of these people smart enough to think that anyone's onto them. They think they're nailing it in their minds, their millionaires, and if they're gotten away with it. I think everyone else, like I once had to take out a couple of grand to go pay for flights in cash to head to London years back and crossing the road from the bank. It would have been like a 200-meter walk. I just felt like everyone's watching me because I got two grand in my pocket.

I'm the same amount of time you have any sort, any amount of money you just like, if you look at me. Yeah. So you're going to jump me? Oh no! It's so scary, I hate it. Yeah, but these people, they don't give a shit. But I suppose like if you've got 20 grand in your bag

and someone steals your bag, you're like, oh, I'll just go home get another 20 grand. Yeah. Oh well. Get one of my other 20 grand bags. Chip packets. Some Valga, the song videos today. Pink main song vinegar and 50 mil.

It was not quite right, it was 50 G's. 50 G's. The FBI continued to monitor the group's phones and Kelly told Steve Chambers that David Gantt had asked her to send him more money because he was now running out, which blew the authorities minds because they thought that he had millions of dollars. But he on the phone had said apparently, can he send me some more cash? How quickly are they running out of it? Is Gantt asking for it? Yeah, Gantt has. So he's like the one that they don't know where he is, but all they know is that they're here from Kelly, say to Steve, hey, he needs more money from us. He's running out, and they're

like, what the hell? He's a millionaire. The FBI are, or the... The FBI are, yeah. Steve Chambers then said that they had to get rid of Gantt once and for all. Oh. They had to put their plan to eliminate him into action is he was only going to keep asking for money and also he was the only person

that could connect them to the crime. They didn't know where David was. So the next time David rang Kelly asked where he was, she said, basically, tell me where you are, so we can send you more money and then stay there. And he told her that he was in Cozamel in Mexico, and he was over her telling Kelly that he loved her. Steve Chambers then hired a man called Mike McKinney and asked him to take a few friends down to Mexico to kill Gantt at that location. Oh my gosh. The FBI were now in a race to find David Gantt before the assassin did. Five months had now passed since the highest

by this point and the FBI sent three agents down to Mexico. They knew where Gantt was and they got to him first. They found in Mexico and asked on the street They asked him for some ID and his response was please tell me you're an FBI agent. Oh wow He told that he told them that he was really glad to see them and that they really needed to talk about some things Gant was arrested and taken back the in to the United States. Please tell me you're an FBI Yeah, he was actually relieved that I think he was thinking that he was in trouble with you. Yeah.

So he was like, oh, at least I'm safe. So Gant told the FBI exactly how the highest occurred, which is quite interesting and ridiculous. Yeah. He told how he met Kelly at work and that the two had become close friends over several years. One day when they were hanging outside of work, she asked if he'd considered robbing Luma's Fargo.

And if he did, she had a friend that could help them hide the money before they could split it three ways. She hinted to him that if they stole the millions, the two of them could live together. Oh, Kelly. At first he thought she was joking and mucking around. But he started to take it more seriously when he got his credit card statement

and calculated that it would take 30 years of his monthly repayments to fully pay it off. Oh, okay, so it's a fair debt then. Fair debt, or he's making shit all money. Yeah, probably a little bit of both. It's probably like a medium debt, but he's just not able to put it in here. Yeah, and such a high interest rate

that he just can't keep up. All right, and if you're paying people to be responsible for looking after millions of dollars, can you pay him a living wage? So they're not tempted to steal your fucking money? They're literally standing in a room full of $17 million every shift like that. And he's getting paid not enough like that is hard.

You could just take a hundred bucks like every shift. Yeah, I read he was getting paid like $7 or $8 an hour or so. What the fuck? And he was doing 60 hours, 70 hour weeks, and still will not able to pay off this credit card. Yeah, sucks. Yeah, that's a good point. Don't tempt them.

And this calculation he made about the credit card was in September the month before the heist. He rang Kelly and told her that he was in. That's when he decided. Kelly was the middle woman acting between David Gantt and her old school friend Steve Chambers. The two men never met on new each other's names in order to stop at them implicating each other when one of them was caught.

Steve Chambers put together the rest of the crew. He got his cousin Scott Brent and his high school friend Steve Payne and offered them a hundred grand each to drive one of the vans and to help hide the money after the heist. Sounds like you know that not getting it knowing each other's names to stop them implicating each other. That's the first really smart thing. Yeah, that's the only smart thing so far, isn't it? Yeah.

Oh, they're just rude. Yeah, I don't want to know him. I don't need to know names. He sounds like a dick. Better but I don't know him. He also got a fake passport instead of documents made for David Gaetz, so he could leave the country and get it to Mexico as soon as possible after the robbery. David himself took stock of security and realized that he was often alone at the warehouse

with all the money and that late one night he'd be able to quietly empty the vault using his own keys and that no one would notice until the next day. Another thing, don't leave one man in charge and no one watching the security cameras. Yeah, that seems dumb. So dumb. A date was set and he thought he was awkward to go until he realized that a trainee was scheduled to shadow him that day. Oh.

He only found out as he got to work. They're like, meet the trainee guy. He'll be following you all. He'll be at your shoulder. Everywhere you go guy he'll be following you all huh he'll be at your shoulder everything everywhere you go he'll go toilet breaks together if you look to steal anything he'll be there just joking of course you're not why would you why would you but definitely toilet breaks you will take those together we're not kidding you're not that bit David had to tell the gang that he'd find a way to get the newbie out so he could be alone.

So he didn't bail on the mission. It was actually pretty easy. He pretended to lock the vault and then told the trainee that he could go. And then he did because he was tired. David got into his own car, pretended to leave, then went back inside the warehouse when the other guy reversed out behind him and left. So now he was alone with all the cash. He took a deep breath and thought about what he was doing.

Remember everyone had said that he wasn't brave enough to do anything like this. He realized as soon as he put $1 into the van, he couldn't go back. He later said, if he stole $1, he'd have to steal them all. And he did. Wow. He started putting the money into the van, putting the shrink

wrapped notes onto a pallet mover and then wheeling it over to a van. All the while, the other members of the team were outside the fence waiting for him. It took a lot longer than expected and it took several hours, but he filled the van up to the brim with money. The stack was four feet high and nine feet long. Wow. That's unbelievable. I'm unbelievable. I love that they, you know, it took them several hours, but they still had time to measure it. Yeah.

I'm going to say it before we go. Like, we get a selfie with this guy. I just want to make a note of how tall and long this is. Just thinking as well, you know how the first anyone found out about it was when his wife called the cops saying he was missing and the cops went there and realized it was gone. If he told his wife, he said, told her he was going away or something, he would have bought them. Oh, and even big ahead start, you're absolutely right.

Yeah, it doesn't even have to let who we are on the plan. Just like, it won't be home tonight or something. It would have been hours until someone rocked up for the next shoot. Pretty amazing that even there was so long for anyone to find out about it. No alarms, no. I know it's $18 million and they just leave one guy

who's been paid eight bucks an hour and they're like, you're our guy! We trust you, you piece of shit. Obviously we don't like your respect too enough to pay you any decent amount. And also the boss just chewed him out like a month earlier about, you know, it'd be... Yeah, you'll never be a vault supervisor. Yeah, so...

Damn. He then took the two security tapes but had no idea that there was a third backup one. Clevver to take the two. But yeah, you fucked up with a backup one. You left one, he later said, I didn't even know about it. So now all he had to do was drive the van to sweet, sweet freedom. The only problem was he couldn't get through the gate. It was change shut and he just couldn't get it open.

It wasn't locked, but the chain he just couldn't get it off. A man ran up and started helping him and Gantt thought he'd been caught, but it was actually one of his accomplices who was watching. He thought that only Kelly and the unknown Steve Chambers knew about the plants. He didn't know the two other guys had been hired, so he was a bit like, this is weird. Anyway, fine, help me, whatever. But that started making a bit worried. He's like, how many people know about the plant? That's not good. So they helped him to the gate. Once on the other side, Gantt drove to a car park with the others. He got out of the van and into a car with Kelly Chambers.

He handed the keys to the Loomis van to yet another stranger and was like, who the fuck are you? How many people are here? Anyway, Gant had only taken $30,000 of cash for himself and hoped to get his share of the loot later. He and Kelly got into the car and drove off to the airport. Behind the car park was two vans, the Loomers one and Steve Chambers van. The plan was to unload the Loomers van and put all the money into blue oil drums and then put that into the back of Steve's van. But there was a big problem. The key that Gantt had handed the getaway driver was on an 8-inch key ring that contained over 200 keys and he'd forgotten to take note of which one was the correct

key and the van was locked. So he had to start, he frantically started trying all of the keys to get into the van. So there's a lot of fun to draw as well And when that wasn't fast enough, they tried to break the windows of the van without realizing that it's an armad car and a head bullet proof windows Man, I was shooting bullets at it. That seemed to be From them somehow. I just don't get it. I just don't get it They went back to trying the keys and finally it opened. It doesn't even have remote central locking. No, it's literally. It had 200 remote central locking beapers.

See in a photo of the key ring and it is actually, it's like a comical prop with how many keys there are. It's so big. It's so big. It is so big. I've done, I've played it with you. I always play that game with my brother when I, he's got so many keys on his key ring and we're like, what's this? What's this? And he can name most of them, but he doesn't have 200 keys. He should be able to name them all. There's ones on mine that I wasn't able to name I know that's why I like playing that game. Yeah, it just makes it in there Why yeah, how long has that been there for I'm not sure but then you two scared to throw it out Yeah, I'm pretty I've got a key on my key ring that I'm pretty sure is for a story used to work at

Seven years ago, which doesn't exist anymore anyway. Like that door does not exist So I can throw that key out, but I'm scared too. Yeah, what happens if somehow you need that to save a life on day? Yeah. What happens then, Dave? Yeah, Dave, you're just gonna let someone die because you want him to throw out just as key. Yeah, it makes you hand back so much lighter.

That's true. That's true. I'll throw out my car key as well, and my car will just it'll know to start. It just knows. It knows. They finally got into the van and they filled the barrels with money but they had to leave behind the smaller notes.

That's why the money was left behind. They ditched the van but for some reason Steve dropped it off right near his work when they and then they wouldn't hit the money. I just cannot fathom that. Why? I guess I know a spot. Yeah, I guess you'd go to a place you know, but like mate, it's like opposite your work.

Go where you don't know. You know? You've had weeks to play in this. You'd just go for a drive, find somewhere. Yeah. Don't drop it off at work. He parked it in his space at work. That's not true. That would be wild.

I'd be the last person that would put it here, right? Why would I park it in my own car spot? Now we're in a park, huh? It's pretty dumb. It's a pretty dumb question on your part. Why am I sitting in the driver seat? Yeah, great, great question. Where else would I be sitting in the passenger seat?

The driver of this get a wig cut. I know. I've said too much. I would like a lawyer. Well, I've been in the other Gatoroe car, Kellyanne David weren't having a great night either. They drove to the Columbia Airport with a plan of buying David a one-way flight to Mexico.

Oh, I'm like, how did they drive to Columbia? But in America? Oh, no, sorry, yeah, that's the name of the airport. It's a North Carolina airport, yeah, yeah. No one had's the name of the call. It's a North Carolina airport. Yeah. No one had bothered to look into the fact that Colombia airport doesn't fly to Mexico or anywhere internationally. They're good.

They're all like, we're... They're basically driven to Avalon Airport. They're like, I mean, you can fly out of Dallas. That's kind of close to Mexico. See, even look up flight times. Like it's late at night at this day. I know. You just assume you can rock up and then kind of close to Mexico. See, look up flight times like it's late at night at this day. I know. They haven't. You just assume you can rock up and then be a flight to Mexico. They should have pre booked, but they didn't. So you had to take a 200 mile bus trip to Atlanta

and then fly to Mexico via New Orleans. That's cool. I'll be happy with that. Yeah, bit of fun. In New Orleans, airport, a came up to him and said that she recognized him. He started to freak out immediately thinking, what is my face ready out there, what's going on? And then she said, that's it. Your borrower's becker, that German tennis player. I used to get boom boom becker when I was a little kid. Did you?

Yeah, it looked like a little boom boom. I think that's just like a red head. That's your name, Nick. Oh, he was a red headed guy with a beer. It's just right. Yeah, just red headed stuff Blue boom boom boom. It's pretty weird that he's trying to lay low on so for the first time I imagine it along to people I was like, hey, you I know you like he's like, oh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. And then she said, oh, I thought you were about a bigger German accent I was like, no, I don't think you know me. No, you're that German. No No, I don't think you know me. No, you're that German person.

No. Or should I say, No, I'm in your language. No. Speak easy, do it, Chi. You finally met it to Cancun. This is Boris Becker in Mexico and started living the good life

spending lots of money on clothes, meals at all the best restaurants, hotels, and something you'd always wanted but wasn't't allowed to buy on his strict budget, comic books. Uh... Cute. He's never contacted his wife and he said, either, has he? No. So she thinks he's disappeared or he could have been killed or something.

Yeah. He doesn't have from him in five months. That's awful. You started to run out of money pretty quickly, living this lavish lifestyle, remember, he's only taken $30,000 with him. Yeah, only. I feel like, yeah, he could have made that stretch for so long, just living a pretty good normal life. Yeah, we're fine.

We'd be fine, but he ran out within like about two weeks or something. Oh my God. He rang to ask for more money, and a man named... Okay, his money. Yeah, yeah, that's sort of. I imagine that you're probably spending, because you're thinking, well well in a couple of months

I don't have millions, okay? Because I trust these people I've never met that I've gone into criminal business with couldn't even name it crime business with them He ranked ask for more money and a man called McKinney was sent to give him money and keep an eye on him before killing him He didn't know that but McKinney was sent to kill him McKinney arrived with some money, but only gave David $8,000. That was the first time Gantt started to realize that perhaps he was going to get double crossed and get cut out of the loot. Ah, there's the first time he saw that. Honestly, he said he asked for 50 grand, and then the guy wrapped up and said, that's

all you got. He's like, eight grand. But this guy's a millionaire. Yeah. He was like, oh no, this isn't working out. Yeah, it's weird if they were trying to, why give him anything at all? It's also funny that he's kind of looked at his credit card debt and gone, I can't pay this off, so I'm gonna rob a bank so I can pay this off.

But then he's like, leaves to go to another country and basically start another lot. Like he's never gonna go back, isn't he? No, he's never going back. So like, why worry then? Oh, he's not worried about the credit card. He's just, he's never going back. So like, why worry then? Oh, he's not worried about the credit card. He's just, he's gonna live it up. Emilio Nero on the beach in Mexico.

Yeah. Yeah. It does, so why have they given him the 8 grand? I don't get that. He's had a killing. Why doesn't he just go and kill him? Just kill him. Oh, I mean, I don't kill him, but you know what I mean?

Yeah. Or just give him 50 grand if he doesn't want to think anything's up, but it feels like I mean? Yeah. Or just give him 50 grand if he doesn't want to think anything's up. It feels like it'd be one or the other. The way I see it, what I interpreted from it, which is no one said this in what I've read or anything, but the guy McKinner that delivered in the money, I assumed that he was probably given 50 grand. Right.

And then said, this is all that gave me, gave him eight and just pocketed $40,000. And he's like, what do you, how, you know, what are they going to do? Yeah, I'm going to kill him. I'm also going to kill him. So who cares? Yeah. I wonder why he could have just given it to him killed him and then taken it back. Just don't give it to him.

Just kill him. Yeah. Well, I bet he wishes he'd killed him right then and there. Then one night in Cancun, when he was staying, a man came up to him and said, hey, you know who you look like and expecting him to say Boris. The guy said, you look like that guy that's wanted for the highest in North Carolina. And David said, not nine. I was Boris Bick. I used Boris Bick. He has never, he was caught in a off guard. So he did a pretty weird accent. Don't blame him for that. No. He's never spoken with a German accent before.

You want him to all of a sudden, the moment. I'm an island. David, please just because you've got the blood of a German man. It's all right, I do have the blood of this German. Well, he told him that he lived in Mexico for years, but was really panicked.

He's like made up a little spiel. He's like, oh no, wow, do I look like a guy? I lived here for ages, that's weird anyway. That's good, quick thinking. Trying to get a selfie with Boris Becker. He's... He's playing it so cool that he's like, taking photos with me.

Show it to people. Tell them you saw me down here. I'm Boris Becker. What do you, what do you, a cop? I'd love it if you were. That would be great. Please be a cop. Can you call the cops?

That's how, that's why he said I hope you the FBI because he's trying to play it so cool. The FBI, I hope you are. Am I under arrest or really hope I am? Because I'm going to get out of this. Because I didn't do it. I'm not a smoker. What am I talking about?

I'm a parisbecker. Guys, I've got to be out before Wimbledon. I've got to be out before Dick Wimbledon. Punking. Wait, is that a pun? That is an absolute pun. You can bind it. We're building with Dick Wombl.

What part of pun do you not understand? I just thought that was like a bad Port Manto joke, which I also hate. Which is a pun. I love him. That's a, that's a, most Port Manto jokes are puns. I see. Yeah, I love a Port Mantto. A pun Mantto.

That itself is a bad, bad pun Mantto. So, I'm pleased. I'm pleased. Is the word to describe the word? Can I hear it on the sentence? Okay, great. Well, I feel like I still don't understand what puns are. Just keep doing you and we'll let you know what I'm up.

Yeah, we'll keep bringing the pun detector in. It is clear when I'm ironically saying these things right? Absolutely not. What do you mean you love puns? I encourage people to go along to your Melbourne International Comedy Festival show for one hour of word play and puns. It's amazing what you can do by combining words together for comic effect.

Yeah, you are, I would say the pun king. Pun king. As we've been calling you for a long time. There's a one portment open in there, but it's in my run and it's like you directed the show. Yeah, and I directed you to put more puns in it. And you ignored me. Very strange.

How can I fit in more puns? I literally couldn't. It's filled. It's filled to the bruh. Which bits of puns? All of it. You know that bit about your beard? It's pun. I don't want to give way to you really. Yeah.

Oh, this is blown my mind. While speaking of beards, David started thinking, oh my god, people are going to recognize you. So he shaved its changes appearance and started only going out at night and wearing a hat. Very good. At night suspicious. That is suspicious. I want to change it off my beard. I would have craved David my beard.

Oh wow, like a really ripped away from it. On Monday I would have taken it for a drink. Did you ask your beard what it's flavor was? I think that's all he's hitting. Tell me what's your flavor, Saver. It's part of a beard. Is that a pun? Yeah.

Is that a pun? Dave, he's wearing hats. It's nighttime. Oh yeah, a lady at the hotel who was staying at later record, he seemed to chain-smoke in his room all day whilst listening to CDs of the Eagles. Nice. This is not the millionaire lifestyle he'd been hoping for. Still pretty rad.

Something to see to ease, it's fucking sick. One day, a mysterious man came to the door and told him that the man that had previously dropped off eight grand to him and the people in North Carolina were trying to kill him. Whoa. David was surprised, but instantly knew he was never going to see the millions of dollars, and he'd better start moving around a bit if he was gonna avoid getting murdered.

He gave this guy a couple of thousand dollar tip for the information. He only had eight. Yeah. And then the guy left and that's when he started moving around. Who's this guy? Who's this guy?

We never know. Dick Womblton. We never know who Dick Womblton, if it was Dick. He changed hotels after this, but a large era on his behalf was thinking that he could still trust Kelly. Kelly. Kelly wouldn't be involved in any murder plot. He thought, I must be the other guy trying to get rid of me. So that's why he told her which hotel he was staying.

Fortunately, the FBI will be seeing you on that phone call. We're able to get to him in Mexico before the killers. When he was arrested, David him in Mexico before the killers. When he was arrested, David Gantt. The band of the killers. Brandon Flowers in the gang. That's even worse than a pun. I wasn't a pun.

No. When he was... It feels the same. I just... Committee click on the same level. Yes. When he was arrested, David Gantt was asked by an FBI agent what it was the same. I just comedically on the same level. Yes. When he was arrested, David Gantt was asked by an FBI agent what it was about Kelly that made him act this way.

He said, can you believe this? I only kiss do once. Turned out to be a pretty expensive kiss, doesn't it? What a line. They put his sunglasses on. And they said, please take yourself glasses on. He said, he turns out to be a pretty expensive kiss, doesn't it? And then put sunglasses on.

Okay, that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard. The weird sentence. Is that literally what he said? Yeah. Turns out to be a pretty expensive kiss, doesn't it? Does not make sense. Are you, is it the dozen, it's bothering you? Yeah.

Dude and did. Yeah, I guess that fixes it. Only you were there on the night, you could have saved David from quite a bit of embarrassed. This is so weird. So he was just like, well, Kelly will be my girl. Yeah, he was in love with her. Yeah, honestly, he was in love with her.

It's so pathetic. Despite them both being married to other people,, he was in love with her. Yeah, honestly, he was in love with her. So pathetic. Despite them both being married to other people, he was in love with her. They'd never really, I was, they didn't eat the other. She kissed him once and implied that they could live together when they got the money in. She meant like housemates. Yeah.

Separate rooms, mate. Well separate mansions that were connected by a bridge. Oh, the dream. The she could like bring up at any time. Yeah. A draw bridge. When she the dream. That she could bring up at any time. Yeah. I draw a bridge. When she was with another man. Conversation.

Yeah. So that's how it all happened. Now the FBI knew everything they quickly swooped in and arrested Steven Michelle Chambers and Kelly Campbell, as well as a lot of other people. All in all, 21 people were arrested. Whoa. Shit.

The main gang members, plus friends and family of Steve who were arrested for money laundering. He had asked them to open safety deposit boxes in their own names and put his stolen cash in there for him. And they went to jail for that. F***. 20 pleaded guilty and the one who pleaded not guilty was found guilty and was given a very harsh sentence. It's a roll of the dice. They searched the chamber's house and it took two full days to count the money using those money machines. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I don't trust technology. Oh, I've forgotten what I was up to. Hang on, we're just starting again.

It won. It really feels like they weren't so silly. They weren't so loose with the cash. They probably wouldn't have been busted. Their behavior was ridiculous. Oh, there's another thing. Apparently Steve Chambers when he organized the gang. It calls it a Steve Chambers gang.

It's a good name. He said to the gang. He called it a Steve Chambers gang. It's a good name. He said to the gang, hey guys, we've got it. After this, don't do anything too crazy that will draw attention to us. He said that and he's the guy that went out and bought a truck, a BMW, a Rolex, a diamond ring, all a house in 600,000 dollars in cash. But he said to the other guys, hey,

let's not go crazy. Yeah, be cool, be cool. Be cool. And he and his wife had gone around with the branding of the people they stole from. Yeah. I think the money just went absolutely to their heads and they just lost the plot and just thought they were invincible. All up 88% of the stolen cash was accounted for, leaving $2 million missing.

Well, that's not bad. To try and reclaim some of that in February 1999, over 1,000 items bought with stolen money was auctioned publicly. I would have loved to have gone to that. The beam that was on display all those trucks and stuff, the velvet Elvis. Yeah, it was there. The Velvis. Oh, that is great pun work.

Punmento. Do you get it now? Oh, that was a punmento. That was a punmento. That was a punmento. That's great. This auction raised 360,000 US dollars so I got a bit more of the money back. None of the six main accused had enough money to hire their own lawyers and were appointed legal counsel by the court. You imagine that? Can I just dip into the money I stole? Hey, look at my mattress. You'd be able to pay my, oh, hang on.

No, don't look at my mattress. That's still mine until I'm guilty, right? Michelle Chambers was sentenced to seven years, eight months in a federal prison. Steve Chambers got 11 years, three months. So he's basically the mastermind. Mike McKinney, who's the one that they'd hired to do the hit on David Gant, he was given the longest sentence, 11 years, six months for conspiracy to murder.

But sure, I mean, the others did all the other crimes plus paid a guy to murder. I know it doesn't seem like much does it? Kelly Campbell, the girlfriend that David thought he had, cooperated with authorities and received five years and ten months. For a time it was nicknamed the hillbilly heist because nearly all of the major players in the case came from small towns around Charlotte so they joked about their hillbilly background. I know you need to be bloody classless now, Dave.

I'm in a good chuckle there from your buddy, Ivory Tower and your affluent East. What are you talking about? I'm quite in the charred observer. You are having a good old giggle. Yeah, I don't respect heel-billy, so me. I will. I'll see you in court. I'll see you in federal court.

You're out of order. No, you're out of order. It's all goddamn systems out of order or something like that. No fuck you. You cannot top a no fuck you. Legally. Oh, damn it. It's gonna say case closed.

Yes, fuck me. So the new player in this game. Finally, our main man, the dead to dream, David Gantt, went to a federal prison for six and a half years. He was released in 2004, but when asked if he'd do it again, he said, now that I'm sentenced, so like, you know, no one's asking him to behave well in front of a judge. He said, would I do it again? Yep. An opportunity like that only comes around once in a lifetime. So, but you fucked it. Yeah, but he's saying I do it again.

Probably differently, I guess. I guess you do it again. No, but okay, no. What I'm objecting to is he's saying I do it again. It only comes around once in a lifetime. Yeah. So it won't come around again for you to do it again. No, but if you had your time again,

if you could go back in that time machine, you're back in that, that having that thought of, if I put one dollar in, I have to put it all in. Would you do it? And he actually would. So if you're not knowing that it ended up pretty bad, I guess you had a fun couple of months, five months.

Yeah, well, most of it was freaking out in Mexico. What happened to his wife? She divorced him. Funnily. After he went to jail. One stick with him. Oh, okay. I see. Let's have read. Stand by your man. Dolly said it right. I love Dolly so much. If this, if this story is ringing bells to anyone out there, maybe not you guys, but in 2016 this story was the basis of a comedy film masterminds starring Zach Elif and Accus as David Gantt, Kristen Wiggas Kelly Campbell and Owen Wilson as Steve Chambers. That's a great cast. I haven't seen it. That sounds like something I'd watch on a plane. Yes, it seems like a plane movie to me too. It didn't get great reviews and it was a real comedy take on this already funny heart. So there's a lot of exaggeration in there,

but that's the loose, the loose basis. To promote the film, David Gant, who was on set for the film, they invited him out and he met Zach Elvenakis and all that sort of stuff. David Gant had an AMA or asked me anything on Reddit and I thought I'd finished with a couple of questions of the last. People said, has this affected your ability to get a job being a quasi

famous bank robber and all and you said, good question. Oddly, most employers are very understanding as long as you are honest with them upfront. Now he works in construction. And that's still a building, can you? He also said, once you tell most people, first of all, they don't believe you, but then they also go, if I had the shop just still $17 million, I probably would as well. So people... Who is he hanging out with? If I had the chance to do a crime, I probably would too. I mean, you've got a chance to do it anytime.

I think that's what people got to understand is, you've got to believe in yourselves more. There's always opportunities to commit crime. I could bash Matt with a cheer right now. Don't do that. You're not going to get money for that. I don't want money, but it's a crime. I'll pay $70 million to do that. To bash you.

Yeah. All right. Pick a cheer. Which one do you want to break your skull? That I character from one of those shows with the little animals. Pikachu. Pikachu, okay, yep. Pikachu. Oh, Dave, can you edit it out?

I am, I am, I'm gonna edit it. Any other things I've said today, can you just edit it out of this episode? I'm gonna leave that in there because you need to learn. No, please take that bit out. Yes, to learn. That was worse than even the bad bits. Yeah, that was meant to be bad,

but it was worse than that. So bad, it was real bad. Yeah, it's a fine line. It went all the way around from so bad, it's good back around again to just so bad. Yeah. He was also asked how much money did you make off the movie? And he said, I didn't get money for this.

What I got was a great vacation and a chance to tick something off my bucket list. I knew that it isn't exciting to most people, but I, regular Joe, had the chance to be on a movie set. Who wouldn't want to do that? Plus, the food truck was awesome. My wife called me a hobbit for having second breakfasts. I got remarried. Yes, he also revealed, I just want to quickly say that. I didn't give him any money because I think he's not allowed a profit from crime. Right. But the highlight for him was that there was a food truck there.

The food is a simple man food is famously good on. She's set. Yeah. Yeah. Holy wood stuff too. I imagine it'd be really good. So yes, he also revealed that he asked for anything that since getting out of prison, he's remarried and has a child and is much happier now than he's ever been. Oh, that's great. So it just didn't work out well for him. Yeah, he said he's much happier now in his 40s than he was in his 20s. That's for sure. I've linked all my sources, including the Reddit AMA. There's lots of questions that you answered if you're interested.

Link below, and I've also got to give a big shout out to that. I made fun of the acting in it before, but there's a great docker that was made on the hearts by the Discovery Channel in 2001 as an episode of the FBI files titled The Unperfect Crime. And you can watch it on YouTube and there's a link to that as well. Yeah, if you want a more serious take on it. Do we know what, did you say what happened to the mastermind? Do we know where he's at? Steve Chabber. Steve, he's also a good...

Steve Chambers. He's been released from prison and the only thing I could find out about him was apparently he claims to be a changed man. Right, thank God. He and Michelle still together? I'm not sure. I couldn't work that out. He had a bit of long distance, you know, he's in prison for...

They also had kids too, they're two kids, so that's hard, you know, both of them. They had two diamond-ing-crusted kids. Those kids had feelings that would just pure gold. It's really bad for them, but they were like, do it, dentist. Golden baby teeth. That is unhealthy. I love it. That is what I imagine is probably the stupidest bank heist of all time. I love it. That is amazing.

I told her the Patreon people chose wisely. They always choose so well. I don't even look vaguely into it. I was like, that sounds fun. I'd say yeah cool, cool, cool. I did not realize how ridiculous it was. So yeah, to the people that voted for that, you voted for the right one.

Yeah, well done. So fun. Amazing. And I'm glad it sounds like David Hicks story under work because he I think all these kind of stories that David Gaunt David Hicks just David Garant sorry they all ended up well for David Hicks. Also David Kent. David Gaunt yes. David Garant's another David. He didn't work out well for him. David Garant stuff him because yeah that that sort of character in these things,

that sort of hapless guy who's been taking advantage of. Yeah. He did seem a little bit like, just trying to make the best of it. His version in the Colour Bomb House obviously ended, it was very sad ending. Yes. So this is a much nicer way to finish him, and it actually sounds like it turned his life around. Yeah, that's right, He's happy and now and he ever said he's got a, got a child, but he didn't have before and, and you why for maybe he gets on with better. I don't know. So, yeah, it's all worked out. And, and Lou was fogger would have been ensured for that. So really don't feel bad for them.

Leasing a couple million dollars, I would have, you know, claimed that on insurance. That is just inside. I don't know how to feel because like, he still did a crime, but he did the time. Many deserves a second chance. Okay, really convinced myself. Yeah, yeah, that was great. It was great to see you. I worked through that.

So now it's time for that special segment of the show where we get to talk about one patron who's given us a factor quote or a question. One of the three. Can I just ask what these segments called? Yeah. Jess, you know it. It's called one of the three. And this week on one of the three.

That's quite good because it could refer to us as well. Yeah, there's three of us. One of us is Diaryo. Which one? Don't you said you wouldn't tell anyone. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, maybe it's two of the three then. Matt, you got diarrhea, we all got the runs. Can we wrap it up because I have to go? Oh, I've got a wrap it up.

Well, this week's Fact Quotal Question comes from Maximilian Duke. Yes, Maximilian. Which is a fantastic name. To give yourself a chance to be in the Fact Quotal Question segment, you've got to support Patreon on the patreon.com slash do go on on the Sydney Sharnberg level, I believe, is that right Dave?

Absolutely right, the Sydney Sharnberg deluxe package, memorials, that's right, in memorials of the great man. And as well as giving a fact quote of question, you also get to give yourself a title. And this week, Maximilian Duke has given himself the title of Duke's Evangelist. In brackets, I need to be around more adults. Wow. Max a million. You're a crazy guy.

I guess this adds a bit more context to it as well. He says, so he's gone for a question. All right. And as is tradition, I have not read this prior to now. He writes. Roots, right? Did he write the word I write? He wrote, my son, Jacob, wants me to ask, who would win in a fight?

The Greek gods or Patrick the Starfish from SpongeBob SquarePants? Wow, Patrick. A question that's been debated centuries. I don't, I'm not super familiar with that. It hit me with some Greek gods. I get confused between them and the Romans. Zeus. All right, Ken, already. Aphrodite. Already, you've probably got a win for the gods. Neptune. Neptune.

Pluto. Wait, I thought they were the Roman ones, the planets were the Romans. Oh, it's hard to tell, because they all, they've got the same gods, just with different names. Yeah. Mooo.

Poseidon. I'm giving the win, so you're saying. I say Patrick. I'm saying the gods are David, you got the deciding vote here. Okay, well, I know that Patrick seems pretty dumb on the show Yeah, but when he gets angry. Yeah, see a sponge He's a starfish. Oh, no, he says there's starfish, but he's not made of sponge. He's made of starfish

He's made of sponge cake. Oh, no, he's a starfish. Yeah, and have you ever killed a starfish? No, no one can And have you ever killed a starfish? No. No one can. Something that can't be done. Oh, that's a shame. So I guess your answer then, of course, is... Patrick would win, because he just can't die. Okay, well...

Unlike great gods. Have you killed a great god? Yes, of course. They've got places like Underworld and stuff where they can go to, which they're sort of dead, but they're always seemingly alive. That's why I stick with the gods. Anyway, he says, goes on to say after you debate, here are his thoughts on how this battle goes. Just a reminder, he's a god.

I was going to ask how old he is. The sun is for the thoughts, great. I like that it's a reminder, I'm guessing at some point I knew that before, and he's now reminding me. The only, thank you so much, Maximeleon Duke, you bloody god damn legend. He says, the only god that can come close to Poseidon,

oh, the only God that can come close is Poseidon. I mentioned him, good, I got one. Because he is the God of the oceans, but Patrick being a starfish can regrow any limbs that get hurt. Patrick would win by sticking to a spot on Poseidon's back that he can't reach and stay there long enough to cause a deadly infection. That was e2 alright. I stuffed that up. Yeah. That is so I said it. He can't mid-sentence. Wow. That is, I love that logic. I do too. That means he's like in grade two. He's eight. He's a great two or three. Amazing.

You're smarter than me and you're a lot younger than me. So many decades. Decay, thank you. I think I'm kind. You're very kind. I really do appreciate it. Thanks so much, Maximeleon Duke and of course your son, Jacob. Thank you, Jacob, Duke. The juice box of Angelo. And yeah, Duke. The Juice Box Evangelist. And yeah, get out there and meet some adults. Although your son sounds as smart as one anyway. Also, at this time of the show Dave,

we also like to shout out to some... Patrol. Oh yes, that's right. If you want to support us on Patreon, you get all sorts of little rewards, including two bonus episodes a month. A certain level you can get those that no one else hears. And usually it's one report a month. And we say a mini report, most of the time they go for an hour or more. So it's really longer than most other podcast normal episodes,

as well as something other fun like a quiz or a Q and I also sorts of different things, so two episodes a month and also yeah shout-outs, little uh, bums, yeah, little bum, we give you a little bum. Why, what does that mean? I don't know. I don't recall that happening. We don't let you do it. You can't be trusted.

Yeah, yeah, we just do all sorts of stuff, including, yeah, shout outs, which we'd like to do now to thank some of the petrons. Yes, would you modify a kicker off? Please. That's right, and I usually bopper. Yeah. Comes up with something, but have you got something? If not, Matt, have you got something on?

Hi, what? So we talked about heists. Maybe what they would do if they had $18 million. Oh, okay. Okay, that's good. Yeah, that's nice. I'll kick it off if that's okay. Can I kick it?

Yes. You can! First I'd love to thank from beautiful Sydney, Australia. Australia is the biggest and most beautiful city on the bay with the bridge and the old opera house. Is that like a caveat? The most beautiful city on a bay with an opera house and a bridge.

No, Australia's most beautiful city, full stop. Here's a few things about Sydney. Yeah, good. I love that bridge. Oh man, love that opera house. It's Michael Nielsen. Michael Nielsen. Michael Nielsen.

So you would need a lot of money if you want to live in Sydney. Yeah, that's right. 17 million is not going to go very far out there. Not in poppers point. Yeah. Or point-point pie far as opposed to that. That's one of the real one. They don't let me in there.

What did you stand outside? What did you literally say? I'm one of the other ones, I don't let me in there. I did! You stand outside. I did! You literally probably couldn't buy a good property there for 17 million. That's right. Which is bloody hell. So what would Michael do with these money then? No, I'd invest.

Yeah. In what? Vacuum cleaner company. Oh! Really? Yeah. The Australian version of Dyson. Nielsen. Is Nielsen? Yeah, it could be Nielsen. So he'd invest in his own company. He creates a company.

All right, let's change it. The new game is what would they call their vacuum cleaner company that they'd invest in? I hate that. I don't know. I don't know. They all going to be their sooner. You bloody got it mate. But I'm being butterboom, Neilson. Next. No, I wish you luck on that endeavor. Without a few people messaging the same, we're going to come back and do another one. I'll have Sydney show too. Yes, we really want to do that. Yes, I'm sure we'll get there back there this year.

Yeah, definitely. But it's always nice for people to say, hey, definitely make me find it. What's funny, because I'm like, oh yeah, we should do that when people remind us. Yeah, we should have a plan probably but often it is someone messaging me going. Oh, yeah We should do that. I like it. Oh, yeah Even though people messaged about Perth all the time and we still have not done that but we will yeah But we get one thousand more messages

We'll be there Anyhow, thank you so much Michael Nielsen. I'd also love to thank from Raymore in Mo. Minnesota. Mill one. Oh, right. I think you meant Mo. I think they're placing a Victoria. That's Moe. Is it? Oh, yeah. Come on. No, I wasn't giving you. I thought you'd mispronounced it. I've spent a bit of time with Moe. I think Mo might be Missouri. Missouri. But look it up. Where the Ozarks are from. Yeah, look it up. Hey, what's a a bit of time in Maui. I think Mau might be Missouri. Missouri. But look it up. Where the Ozarks are from. Yeah, look it up. Hey, what's up, little bit of the Ozarks about today's episode?

I was thinking like just the still on money and laundering and stuff. You watch any of the Ozarks? Yeah, yeah, I saw the first. Ozark. Excuse me. Second season is pretty good as well. Looking forward to the third. Haven't watched it.

Oh, cool. Yeah. It's a, yeah. Orophys. Jason Bateman, yeah, Aurofuse. Jason Baiman, did you also direct it? Is that right? He directed the first episode of Aysen I think, others well. You are correct, it is Missouri.

Well done. How many? Mizzou. How we called in the ground before I recognized Mizzoura. I wonder if Boyd Kempah from Raymore went to Mizzou State, which is the uni that they're trying to get to one of the kids in Ozark is trying to get to. All right, and if he didn't go he could spend some Money to get him in there because I hear that's all you have to do these days in America It's throw cash and then your child can go to any university. That's right. It's best if you're on an actual. Yeah topical material

From a month or two back. It'll have your finger on the pulse there at the project. There you go. Still big news, baby. Boyed. Boyed. Campka. Thanks, boys.

Thanks, boy. And hopefully you spend your money wisely on that education. Yeah. Because that's what you're gonna do, set the name million on a uni degree. Maybe not all of it. You can save some of it, but a large chunk. I have heard that their'd degrees up pretty expensive.

Yeah, hear that? That's what 200 grand, but like a batch of us or something. Boyed camp car. That's a great name. So good. It reminds me of Yuliana Cupca, the... Ah, that's off the sky. Dave, would you like to thank some people?

Oh, I would love to thank some people. And I would like to thank, first of all, from Gates Head in old GB, Simon Flint. Simon Flint, that's a good name too. Yeah, that's very great. That's a great British name. Hello, I'm Simon Flint. Welcome to my, I was really hoping that I would just like finish that sentence

and it would give me the thing. Welcome to my tea observatory. Yes. Is that one using investing 17 thing. Welcome to my tea observatory. Yes. Is that one using investing 17 million in them? A tea observatory. So it's like a tea house down the bottom and then a giant telescope up top. Dave, Dave, I'll stop you right there mate. It's self-explanatory.

It's a tea observatory. Yeah, right. I don't. Can you believe it? It's real weird. You are so embarrassing. You're just a good firm. It's a telescope up top.

Yukon, give me two. Me, Bob. I'll let her thank Lauren Rozel. Oh. Is it, are we only allowing people with great names to be patient? Yeah, people often ask how long does it take to get read out. If you have a shit name, we'll never read it. So, stop pledging now.

Start changing. That is not true. Start changing your names. We try and get you in the order that you pledge. Sometimes Patreon is a little bit weird with the way it orders the names. We will get to you all. We promise. We pick a button at the top and it's sold to everyone by date. And then it spills out the occasional weird glitch of someone from a year earlier or later. It's real odd, but anyhow, we're on top of it. We have to send computers.

We go. What would Lauren be investing in? Let me look up. You can't, Oklahoma. What do they got there? Things to do with me. What do they got? Oh, yeah, absolutely.

I mean, they have a few things. They got Chisholm Trail Park. Chisholm. They got a Chisholm Park. Totally not. How'd you hear what you want to hear? Sunrise Park. Did youight. How'd you hear what you want to hear? Sunrise Park. Did you say I've got beautiful eyes?

Ha ha ha. You do, but that's not what I said. Ha ha ha. Oh, I know she can set up a hotel there because the three-star hotel average is $151 there, but I reckon you've got a four-star hotel. Yeah. Let's go. Hogwad, five-star hotel.

Five-star. Why not? Why not? There's always, I mean, there's buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one. I'm gonna buy a new one.

It's so strange, it's so good. Oh, God. Joking, I can thank some people as well. Oh, that would be the best. I would love it. Please take us home with some classic names. We've had some good ones. I would like to thank from Las Vegas. Oh, it's not Brandon Flowers. Is it from the killers? Close.

It's Donovan Brown. Oh, wow. Brownie, the bass player. I reckon that he should put his 17 million on red. Oh, I would have said on black. Where's the snap star? I'd go half and half. Half and half.

Yeah. You don't have to say that. You're not going to be a black star. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm his 17 million on red. Oh, I would have said on black wetsley snopstar. I'd go half and half Half and half yeah, you're not familiar with the wetsley snops quote. He goes always better black and then he kills someone That's a generational thing people kids would quote that a lot when I was a kid. I reckon Donovan you put half of it on black half of it on red I reckon Donovan, you put half of it on black, half of it on red. And then we'll come up snake eyes. Well, that's the, that's the rescue run with gambling. Double zero.

Oh no! The house always wins. But good on Donovan, you took a punt. What I do is I put, if I had Donovan, I'd put half of it on black. If you had Donovan, you'd put half of him on black. If you had done of it and you'd put half of him on black. Half of it on black, half on red and half on zero zero. Of course. Can you do that?

Can you do that? Can you bet on zero? Yeah, you get higher odds, you get 36 to one, but it's really pay, but the chances of it are 37 or something. Everything is just slightly out of whack so that they win. Like you get, you double your money, but you've got just less than a 50, 50 chance of winning

because that's right. They spend thousands of times a day, which they do. Eventually they come out on top. Uh-uh. So thank you to Donovan, and finally, I would like to thank from Eureka. It's the stockade.

In California. What? That's a Eureka. It's the stockade. In California. What? Is it Eureka in California? Apparently. I mean, it's not like they had a big gold rush or anything, is it? I'd like to thank Andrew Barney. Oh. And he invests in children's entertainment.

Was that quite a groundbreaking show when you were a kid?

Yeah, was that like reflective of current life? Was that real? No, that was set in the future. Oh, right. The Jetsons fucking blew his mind. It's set in the future when people could ride dinosaurs. Back in your day, he just ran from them. Yeah.

That would have been a really exciting time. Yeah, it was really nice to see a future, a bit of a utopian future where dinosaurs and man would get along. Couldn't wait. Never happened of course, we had a kill in a mall. That got lost from the history books, I killed quite a few dinosaurs. That's all we used to call them. Dinosaur.
