No, it's hello and welcome to do go on. my name is Dave Warnocky and I'm being interrupted by Matt Stuart Hello Matt and we're not being interrupted by Miss Polite over there That was actually your cue to interrupt me Jess. No, no she's very polite. She will not talk. Yeah, so it probably will have to Eventually own up and let listen as I just couldn't make it in today She was a late withdrawal eventually I'm up and let the listeners adjust. Couldn't make it in today. She was a light withdrawal.

So we'll have to start the show like we actually did originally just Matt and I, and then we listen back and deleted those episodes forever. But we're doing one anyway. May I speak now? Oh, that's confusing. Now I'm here, guys. Hi, Jess.

Hi, Dave. Hello, Matthew. Hi, I'm Pauli Jessica. Hello, everybody. I'm here. Hello everybody, I'm here. Goodness, you're here but you're kind of dying. I'm dying a little bit. I've been sick for the last few days and I have a bit of a cough. And what I'm noticing is that it's only really comes about when I laugh

so it shouldn't be a problem. On the show. Not something I'm known for. That was so. It shows very unfunny. It's very I was so, it shows very unfunny. It's very unfunny. It's not a fun, so I'll try my best to be as far away from the microphone if I'm coughing. But you know what, you're going to hear some coughing, okay?

And yes, I do sound raspy and sexy. Oh, thank you. I'll listen to you. I should imagine it like just is coughing directly into there ears. Yeah. You're welcome. You're welcome. Yeah, it's like a little bit of me when you read these holes. Wow.

Yeah, with a me you can see your ears. Oh, how are you guys? Are you well? I'm flam. I mean, I was going to be able to bundle a good thing up. I'm flam. I'm flam. I was like flam.

I said, I'll say the word flam and then I think of a word that sounds like that. It looks fine. I'm flam. I mean fine. I actually would have been good if I just... I think it would have been not good, but possible if I... Sure. Matt, how are you?

Flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam.

I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm flam. I'm going pretty well. Thank you. That's great. That's great. It was the week of Thanksgiving this week Which we celebrate in a big way down under huge way huge roll about it all about Thanksgiving We're sure it's traditionally we are going as a family and get fake abs put in You know each year we save up. I mean this is a this is an Australian wide tradition Or you go? Yeah fake abs put in you're looking at me a little funny Just like yeah I'm pushing my abs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's abs week

It's weak all sweet. Not just another sweet riff I'm doing some great abs. I'm here. Look at flim Yes, instead of them I said flim Look at flim better. Yeah, well, I'm not getting good Yes, instead of them I said flame look at fun better We got it. Wow Matt didn't get it There it is. I must cough. I don't I don't think we've ever done this before but can we put the start of this episode in the bin and start again? You've asked for that many times and it never happens.

Now we're off and firing early. Yeah, we are cooking with gas. And the best part is it's not like the sickest one here has to do most of the talking and do the report, is it, Jess? Yeah, but at least that means I won't be laughing that much. Yeah. Because I never enjoy my own episodes. Every third week you have a shit time.

No, not a shit time, just not as fun. That's weird, because you know, when Dave makes Flemme sound like other words, sort of, and I'd make this sweet improv riff about abs, would you, I didn't even think of that until I said it. I could tell. I was one of those times where you assume that your brain is gonna look after you.

And then it just fucks you up. I genuinely didn't explain how you got to abs for Thanksgiving. Yeah, we're at Comfort. There was a real, what I was trying to do there right was, Inside the Act of Studio, was go, for any listeners who don't know about Australia, like go, yeah, it's a big thing down here and then say some wacky activity that we get up to They're like it it sort of suffered over the journey from wherever thanks to giving's from North America Mm-hmm, and then on the way down here. It's somehow it's got lost in translation and then it up

Initially, I was gonna say you take your sister get fake breasts, but I'm like I'm editing I'm gonna know that's I mean that's maybe that's funny, but it's, no, I can't say that. Sure. And then I'm like, I just looked down to my abs. I went, yeah, to your abs. I think I've got it. I mean, this is all happening in a split second. It's like that. Okay, go film clip. Uh-huh. That came out a couple of years ago, or last week. And it's like, it's very quick, but my brain is moving so far. Sure. No, no, the decisions that's making are good, but they're all very quickly made. So you're making your brains,

you're making millions of wrong decisions at all of the same time. So one after the other after the other. At what point has your brain thought that entire explanation needed to be said? It continues to think that. Okay. And now I'm gonna go back and underline some of the things.

Dave, please stop here. I think this conversation is an absolute flam GM okay That's the last one. That's the last one. It's not. I'm sure they'll be all that flam That's a grab that grab that grab that Jim is the catchphrase of the weekly planet podcast. Oh our friends at the weekly planet. Yeah Grab that flam. Oh, I don't think that'd be okay with that. Those two hosts, both of Flam, so great. Those two hosts. Both of Flam. Both of Flam. I don't

want to say Flam okay. It's a great word. Are you sure we can't put this in the bin? This has all been so fucking bad. How about we do a report? Jess, it is your turn to do a report on a topic that I believe you've got from our listeners suggested hat. Mm-hmm and We always start with a question to get on topic. I had the yep. Okay, so the question this week. I believe you've done a question similar to this in the past day Because it's it's a really it's a it's a topic that I had not heard of and I don't think you will have heard of it So my question is just have you heard of the pink Panther robberies? Have you heard of the pink Panther robberies? And sink I've definitely I've heard of the pink Panther movies. Sure, right. The cartoon

Spinoff and the season remake on the Simpsons with my lawyer. Yes. Yeah. What was the question again? Have you heard of the Pink Panther robberies? I'm guessing they've got to be some sort of a what like a copycat thing, copycat, like a panther. I think I think that maybe I've heard of like is it the pink Panther like a crime syndicate or something? I don't know any details. Well because the initial the movie plot about the pink Panther the gem they were trying to grab that gem which was a pink called the pink Panther. Grab that flam. They were trying to grab that flam. But do you think this is like a chicken or the egg?

What came first, the crime syndicate or the films? The films, like the Peter Salas one's really old. I mean, I feel like the chicken and the egg one might be a little bit more philosophical than this thing that surely has an answer. Okay, well, I was just trying to create some fun conversation. Well I'm just letting you know you did not achieve that. You put all your eggs in one basket or did the chickens come first? Comes out of chicken wordplay. Flam. Very good. Thank you Flam. Yeah I think because the what the Peter Sellers movies the first pink Panther ones right there quite old. They got to be 60s, right?

Yeah, yeah, so I don't know but maybe this crimes into kid is old. I don't know on any about them. Well luckily I've done some bloody research and can tell you all about them. Well, I mean as much as you can know because they're a crime syndicate So like well, they're always like we don't know a lot as well Hmm. It's exciting. Oh, is it a mystery kind of oh, is this your first mystery? Yes Well, I wouldn't say it's full mystery Semmy mystery. Semmy mystery. Oh, this is got me. Semmy mystery. Oh Dear, please take a one. Oh, dear, dear So this was this was suggested by Nicholas. I'm

definitely going to say your name wrong here. It's Figueroa. Figueroa. He's at Nico Figs. Nico Figs. So thank you Nicholas. It's really interesting because I didn't know anything about them but it's not. So he had heard of any of this. No I hadn't. And there's still some bloody gurgling. And I was trapped in a Wikipedia vortex. Oh, that's fun. It's like, whoa! So a lot of this sort of reads like the plot of

Matt Damon movies. Oceans 11 specifically. Right. Right. Why I pick Matt Damon out of that all starcast, I've got a picked Clooney. Pit. Robots. Uh. out of that all star cast I've got a big cloonie pit robets uh that little Asian guy took those back flips Ben Affleck's brother Casey

who's the bad guys the widow's peak yeah I'll know it as soon as I said. Anyway, Tim Flem. Tim Flem. Got a picked any of them. When you said it was the last one, Dave, six or seven Flem's together. Were you lying? I knew he was from the beginning.

I never Flem. Fib. Never Fib. It's kind of a g-chew-guess, it's kind of a guess the word that I'm replacing. Oh okay. Bit of a quiz. What a fun game. It was a fun game. Flam you Matt. Flam you. Love, love you, is what he's saying. Oh thanks Dave. Got it in one. That's adorable. Anyway, so pink pant there. It reminds you of Ocean to 11. Yeah, kind of. It's cool because we're like a lot of sort of crime-

...heist movies, yeah. Really, it's really interesting. Very cool. So they were named after the pink panties series of crime comedy films. The name was given to them by Interpol. They were... Band. Yes.

Yeah, the band. Yeah. That's a great, I like them sometimes. What's the international police? So that's sensible? International? Yeah. Now they, um, the pink feathers are an international jewel thief network. Oh, they talk at jewel. See, that is so movie-esque. Right. It's so cool. Like you, you go along and you're like, I want these guys to win them. Then you think about it. You're like, they're criminals. Yeah, but it's just, it's so cool.

Right. They're composed mostly of Serbs from Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia. Oh, that's why you thought of Matt Damon. Yeah. Bosnia. And they are responsible for some of the most audacious thefts in criminal history. I do like an audacious crime. Audacious things are great in general. Absolutely, it's a good word. They're responsible for what have been termed

some of the most glamorous heists ever. And one criminologist even described their crimes as artistry. How cool is that? Wow. So even like even criminologist, like, what was pretty cool. You guys know I majored in criminology, right?

Yeah, I know. Basically, basically a criminology of someone like this. So what are you reckon? You reckon they're pretty cool. You guys know I majored in criminology right? Yeah I know basically basically a criminology of some of the American. So what are you reckon? You reckon they're pretty cool? I reckon that was some of the most glamorous things that I've ever whatever you'd planned. I think you were quoting that. I think I flamed as you said flam so that's good. Oh there are definitely people who have turned off. All right, this is a word that I would not like hearing repeatedly. Flem. Yes. Mm-hmm. I just wouldn't like hearing someone cough.

That's even worse from the week. I'm so sorry. I also had a migraine. I've been on a lot of pain killers. So I'm in a great place, emotionally. Anyway. We're really scared. About what to say.

She's going to go on a killing spree, an audacious one. Some of the most artistic killings we've ever seen. She's the Picasso of a murder. Oh, that's nice. And that she rearranged his face to the three eyes. You can see the back of his head at the same time as the front. Where did she get the third eye from? We'll never know. Never know.

Mushrooms, magic mushrooms. That's where she got the third eye from. Anyway, so the big Panthers have targeted several countries and continents, and include Japan's most successful robbery ever amongst their thefts. Some law enforcement agencies suspect that the group is responsible for over 500 US million dollars in gold robies in Dubai, Switzerland, Japan, France, Lichtenstein, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, and Monaco.

Wow, so there's not an exclusively jewel guys. No, mostly jewels, but yeah, they'll don't pay if gold's there. If there's half a billion dollars of gold lying around, we're gonna take it. They're not idiots, right? Um. Okay. Yeah.

How did it is? Interpol said it's estimated that there are several hundred thieves in the group and that many come from Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. How do you keep track of a thing like that? Well, that's it, they can't. However. But even inside the organization, you can't. What are you doing that job in Sweden like that? Well, that's it, they can't. But even inside the organization, you can't.

What, you doing that job in Sweden? No, no, that was Switzerland. I always get them confused, whatever. Yeah, no one's slipping up as well. Well, that's what's amazing. No one's racking. Yeah. It's incredible.

It's, I don't understand how it works, but it's amazing. The other sources say the gang is suspected of having maybe 60 members, around 30 of whom thought to be from Montenegro. Several gang members. People say 30 of whom are full-time others on a more casual way. Just, you know, when they've got the time. More per hour but they don't get sick or annually. Yeah, they're like seasonal. Like when they're, when they have some time off their nine to five accounting jobs. Yeah, it right look a bit of hobby money on the side.

Yeah. Would they get taxed at a higher rate? Yeah absolutely. And that's it. Do you have any tool robberies to declare this year? I have no tool robberies to declare apart from my flam. We'll never know what we meant. I get a little help from my flam. Oh dear.

Anyway, several gang members are former soldiers with violent pasts. They are fluent in many different languages and possess passports for multiple countries. Fake passports are real passports? I mean excellent point. I don't know. We would assume fake maybe. Yeah. You would assume. I'm so if you knew for sure you did be like, well it's that guy's passport. So it's that guy. Yeah. Oh yeah, good point. So fake. In 1993 the gang first came to the attention

of police and under the nickname Pink Panthers following the theft of a 500,000 pound diamond from a jewelers in the Mayfair area of Central London. The thieves hid the diamond in a jar of face cream which mimicked an act seen in the film The Return of the Pink Panther. So that's how they got the name Pink Panthers. Who looked at it? It got an idea from the movie. Yeah, well they seemed to. They hid it in face cream. That would idea from the movie. Yeah, well, they seem to. Yeah. They hit it in face cream. That would definitely be the chicken.

Ha. Like, oh, it's just okay. Came from the egg. Mm-hmm. Like, but the egg, oh man. To tell you what, it just makes my brain flam. Brain flam is not a nuts thing, is it? Yeah, you really should see it, Doctor.

Anyway, in May 2005, graph a diamond specialist in London was targeted by pink panthers and lost a total of 1 million pounds in jewelry. In the space of six years during the 21st century, I like how they've worded that because it could be any six years, but it's a six year period. Sometimes in the last 16 years. Exactly. The Pink Panther's robbed 120 stores in 20 different countries.

Japan, London, Denmark, Monaco, Paris, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, and the United States have all been targeted. And their attention to detail has ensured this high rate of success. Before robbing a jewelry store in France, the gang covered a nearby bench in fresh paint to deter anyone from sitting on it and seeing them in action. What?

Like that is brilliant. Imagine being in the pitch meeting and being like, there's a bench there. We don't have anyone there. We paint it. But I would have been the guy that said, we don't need to paint it. We just need a sign that says fresh paint. And that's why you'd be making the big ones. We just saved like $30 for a can of paint. Yeah, and when you're making millions, you need to save the $30. Exactly. Every week. And then I'd be wandering past a private detective who's on holiday, but still got a can of everything. He just says, look at, I think I think they must be an old sign because I'd touch it and it feels dry I'd take the sign off the back sit there witness the crime and lock you all up well you're all there what if I you're all there mate don't try oh you're

backtracking now what's that in your hand what's that in your hand what's that in your hand right there literally nothing in my Yeah, that's a fistful of gems. Oh, it's not. It is. Oh, that's it. You're going away a long time, sister. Sequel to that Clint Eastwood movie, fistful of gems. Fistful of flim. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Yeah, there's so many opportunities. What if I shat on the seat?

No one will come up with... Ah! Ten feet of that seat. On the bench. Look, I'd still touch it to see if it was dry. Caution! Wet shit. Hang on!

This shit isn't dry? What is dry? My clutch inspection. This shit is dry? On cluster inspection This shit is dry This is baby for a while Look I still touch it He's committed to catching crimps Let me get a thermometer

I'll tell you how fresh this is This was laid about 15 minutes ago What came first? You know what? You know what he hates most. Poo jokes. That's why I went there because it shut him up. If you're always being interrogated by you as a police officer,

I'll just start making references to poo poo poo poo and shit. And you'd be like, this interview was over. And I'll be like, great, I'm free, I'm going home and I didn't even buy the paint Poo poo poo poo poo and shit Poo poo poo poo bum shit Just can I ask you to put go on? He's genuinely just Oh god, I'm so sorry everybody. I'm trying really hard

Oh God, I'm so sorry everybody. I'm trying really hard. Can you hear the wheeze? Anyway, that's fine. We may need to hear the wheeze and the poop. That had to feel that wheejoaks. Yeah, not as bad. Not as bad. Wheejoaks are better. So if I weed on the seat, that would also take, I wouldn't sit on a park bench covered in weed. How would you know it's a weed and not just rain water?

I think it's got a pretty hefty distinctive taste. I've always liked seeds before I sit on them. You must. Oh, you must. I wasn't going to go with any of the other senses, but. What feel? If it feels the same. If it feels the same.

It's got a different sound a different sound hang on it sounds like pissing up water there's a jewel thief going in there and that's how they got them attention to data all they have they got them that's what I'm wondering anyway now the gang is suspected of participating in at least two smash and grab All they got them, that's what I'm wondering. Hahaha. Anyway. Now the gang is suspected of participating in at least two smash and grab jewelry robberies in Tokyo's Ginza district. Ginza. Been there, actually. The first in 2004 netted 3.5 million yen in gems, Flemms.

The second in June 2007 took jewelry valued at 284 million yen. That's ended a lot more. That's quite a lot more. The first was 3.5. I don't think 3.5 million yen is that much. Okay. All right. But if somebody came up to you and was like,

Hey, just for nothing, I'd like to give you 3.5 million yen. It'd be like, don't insult me. It's still a bit of money. Is that what you're saying, Dave? You're saying you'd be insulted by that amount of money? I have a few follow-up questions if someone was being used to do that conversion open. Well, look, mate, I'm either giving you the money now or I'm walking. I don't need to answer these questions. I'm offering you a big chunk of dollars, mate. All right. How much is it? It's $41,000.

Dave, you taking the money or not? I've really got to go. Well, as a highly successful ask prod, I would probably say, don't make a fool of yourself. Wow. Offering or by not offering? No, by offering. By offering.

That's a pittance. I would take $41,000. Oh my god. Yeah. Bit time. Does anyone have it? Oh please. Oh God, please. Patreon.com. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Per month. That's all we ask. Maybe just for a couple of months and then Matt and I can both have $41,000. I mean that could be our next goal, 3.5 million yen. I think it's better to set goals we can achieve. Just an idea. Anyway, so the pink Panther Group I'm listening. No, no, no, no, no, they're quite probably are. Do you reckon there's that many members? They're still active. Oh, yeah.

Wait, oh, so it's not a 70 thing. It's like a modern thing. Well, the first one that, well, when they first came to mind was in 93. And then these two ones in, in Tokyo were in 2007 and 2004. Like, they're recent. They're still out there. So quite probably they're listening. Is there a chance that one of us is in the gang? No. No. I'm so confident. No.

Because if you're looking for a lack of attention to detail. Yeah, but they'd be so good that they'd make it. I, if I was in the gang, I'd dress like me. Yeah, because it'd be the next, like the scene. But they don't. You walk out of the room, right? And then Dave does a little thing and it reveals that he's known all along and he's been you know those sort of slow zoom Yeah, and you see we're not in a film his name. No, yeah. Oh, aren't we? Be a shit film Well, there's a lot of editing to be done You don't think our lives could edit it down to a good 90 minutes? No. I don't know.

Do you reckon that he said that we're surely. My life isn't interesting enough for a 90 minute movie. I don't think I've done anything interesting. I don't think I've done anything interesting. I haven't seen how many hours have you guys been on the world and then maybe me as well. Go on Dave. And you know, take 90 minutes out of that. You're past your 10,000 days.

What's, yeah, what's, okay, 10,000. You're past your 10,000 days. What's, yeah, what's, okay. 10,000. So I've done 10,000 days. You don't think I would have... You don't think I would have... Well, what have you done that's moving away? You would have done... What, I mean, have you seen movies like... Dave, name a shit movie.

It would be like the Truman show. Exactly. Not a shit movie, but I just remember. Great movie. It's just a very good movie. Just a person living their life. Do you, are you looking for the word documentary? Yes.

The Truman show is in one day. No, but like, it's just someone living their life and following them. Yeah. Documentary. Like, maybe like the movie that Nick Tade was in called 10,000 days. Was that 20,000 days? Yeah, he's old. Anywho may I go on? Please. Thank you The gang is also known for its daring escapes at attempt. Yes. This is what I'm talking about Yeah, and attempts to break into their chosen store. They robbed a jewelry store in Santa

Japan 2005 wearing t-shirts emblazoned with flurry designs then made a hair escape on a speedboat. That's great, that's really good. Woo! What's the flurry? You said there's like clever and daring, but was it genuinely the idea, alright? That one's just kind of funny. Alright, Wes, I bet you can't rob this next door, next door wearing that stupid flurry

shirt. Alright, I'll wager you and I'm gonna get all seven members matching shirts with our name, our nickname and blazing on the back and my address. Bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok-bok You just be dressing yourself I'm a full-breaking to friends as Harry Winston-jewel is in Paris. They're getting escaped from the store with items with over a hundred US million dollars 100 million dollars Now that is a highest Dave are gonna leave this hundred million dollars worth of stolen goods with you you cool with that yours to keep me talking You got a pro-id000 cash spendable money. You would know that it was something wrong with it,

so I wouldn't take it. Yeah. That's a suspicious person. Where do you start when you're going to on-cell stolen gems? Yeah, well. Maybe I'll stop in a row. I will tell you. There's also growing speculation that the US $65 million highest on the 6th of August 2009, which was of an exclusive London jewelry store,

was the work of the same group. A key element in the speculation is that the men who looted graph diamonds on New Bond Street made no effort to hide their faces, suggesting that they'd been able to alter their looks with mission impossible-style prosthetic makeup. Oh, that is so cool. It's so cool. But are they like a group that comes out like ISIS and claims attacks or do people just go, oh, that must have been the pink, but do they have like a Twitter account or something like we've struck again or a business card?

Well, they don't even call themselves Pink Panthers. Not really. It was a title given to them. I suppose they probably do now, but initially they weren't like, okay, guys, what should we call after? Oh, I guess would you believe you're like, let's call ourselves the Seven Diamonds snakes. And then the media calls you something else. You can't really issue a press release.

Actually, we've started to change our name. Yeah, new direction. Where the fuck did you get the Panthers? You totally could, though. We don't do diamonds anymore. We're more gold bullions. So if you could call us the golden lads. Yeah, the bullion boys.

Bullion boys. Yeah, that's better. I'm Len Jess, name it. The golden lads. But there are ladies in the groups, too. So, and they play a very important role. They're the sexist. Which I will talk about about the politically correct golden people

We are now called the golden people. I actually quite like I often refer to myself in a group as the something boys All the time. I just think it sounds funny the do-go-and-boys do-go-and-boys I call you to my potty boys in like if people are like what do you do? I can't have a potty boys. I can't mate hate that, because it sounds like potty. Do you hate that, Matt? It sounds a bit like where potty, pells. What else should I call you then?

Your golden boys. My golden boys? I'm happy with that. Golden shower boys. Yes, now we're getting... Golden shower flims. Now we're getting warmer from your piss. How good is a field of makeup piss joke?

Feels good, we're brave, we're brave. Now just do a poo one, you'll feel great. Don't want to, I don't. Okay, all right. Look, baby steps. Yeah, we'll get there, we're proud of you. Thank you. Proud of poo.

What's really interesting is that not a lot is known about the group. Obviously, because they're quite secretive. A documentary was made in 2013 called Smash and Grab. Was it just like, are you in the group? No. How about you? No. How about you? No, but I'm Banksy. Wrong documentary mate. Wrong doctor. Don't make me laugh you bastard.

No, that's very funny though. Banksy boys. No, but I'm Banksy. Not now. Not now. wrong documentary. The documentary, Smash and Grab, interviewed reporters, detectives and interpol agents, as well as actual members of the group. What, what?

But they didn't show their faces properly, they were like, how do they get in contact? They put like an ad in the New York Times, we want to interview. Yeah, they just put an ad in the New York Times. Like Matt could have just shown up and said, yeah, I'm in the group. Yeah. We wear floral shirts, we drive speedbirds. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I'm a pink Panther boy. I like this shit on bench as well. Do you have any more questions? Do a DNA test. I did the poo. It was me. Yeah. I'll do one right here.

Can you please the just one? A poojo. Yeah, not a poo. No, God no. Even the word is fuckers. Oh, gross. So funny. It's too evocative. So funny that you you're the one who said the seawood the most on this show, but you can't say poo. Yeah, the seawood's a bit of fun. Pooze even more relatable than the C word? We all poo. But we don't all see. Can you tell me about the documentary? Yes.

So that's just blows my mind. They interviewed them and I think they were mostly audio recordings and they sort of animated their faces. So you don't know what they look like like and they didn't use their real names. Should I get a minute requests? Can I please have a mustache? I can't grow one. I would like to look 30 years younger please. So what sort of, I watched the documentary, okay, I watched it. I say, and what do you just, they animated and you just hear? Yeah, I'm just one of these people. No, it's actually,

I'm just like, my voice. No, it's actually, I they look like and they don't use their real names, but it's actually really well done. Were the actors worried about being arrested? No. But again, you don't see the actor's faces either. But did you enjoy this docker? I actually did. I thought it was done really, really well. It was very interesting. They also had like surveillance footage from the actual heists as well. Right. And it was just kind of interesting because like when you when you try and research the pink panties, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's word. I'm like I'm gonna summarize as I've taken note. I took nine pages of notes like I sat with my I sat on my laptop in bed writing notes in my notebook. Handwritten notes. I highlight it. I'm gonna say in hand by hand. In hand. You had an in hand chef. I had an in hand chef.

Yeah. Taking notes for you. Taking notes. We're going to put those notes up on our Patreon. That's right. Yeah, you can see my notes. I'll put them in one note. That's our auction. I'll know eBay account. Just as a handwritten note. Maybe even Sotheby's or whatever that big one.

The auction house. You know how I talked about putting my toe print on the Christmas cards. You've had quite a few tweets of people saying they want that. Yeah, good one. I have not seen any of those tweets. All right, well they may number three plus. And that plus could be wrong. Three. Up to three. That is a baffling amount of people who want your filthy feet. Toe prints on their Christmas card. I remember one on everyone. Now from now on the rule is you have to tween it if you don't want the toe print on your paper. You know, big toe because that'll take up a little room for where we'd like to write notes

That's how is it very small? No that's true. The biggest show is it's like a pin prick What if anybody wants a print of your tush? Can we cover your tush in ink and put that on a postcard? You'll have to contribute a little bit more than five dollars a month I'm thinking 3.5 million yen a month. That's how much you think your tush is worth that is interesting No it is tush is tush print. My real tush is worth 35 million yen. Okay, take out the decimal point. That's right. I'm saying, you get the real thing.

Oh wow. They get... It's enough to make it probably worth it. If you're willing to put 3.5 million in for the tush print, you're probably willing to go the whole way for the whole tush. That is my thinking. Wait, and how does that work? The whole, it gets cut out. Yeah, that's right. Cut off. Putting your buttbone.

Then how do you walk and poop? I, well, you have to make sacrifices. You do that for the pot? Yeah, for the millions of dollars. I would, it's more like 400 thousand dollars I would like to go on the record and say I will not be cutting off my tush for this podcast Oh, I love this podcast more than anything else I do, but has anyone interested in your tush like they are in my tiny tush That's a great point. No, don't put that out there

That is an excellent. Also my tush is male friendly so small male Well, if you pay 35 million, I don't care what gender you are. Do you care if they... Why would you care what gender they are to the... The mailing of your... Your ass to them. What's happening? But, um, you could mail M.A.I.L.

Am I? My tourch. I will now be spelling out every homonym, though, come across. Fabulous in case. This episode is brought to you by Progressive. Most of you aren't just listening right now.

I think they'd prefer me to cough. No, it's point. No, I'm pages, no it's point. Nine pages of notes. Nine pages of notes, I think. What's interesting is that unlike other crime groups, they're very organized and they're incredibly fast. What's funny about that day?

Stop your right there. You didn't really get into it. Sorry, I didn't know. I said one dot point. Because organized crime is a well documented that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that.

Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that.

Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into that. Sorry, I didn't let all of you get into. All right, no, pardon me. My point being is that they prepare, they scope out places,

they plan the robberies very thoroughly. They're viewed almost with the Robin Hood kind of feeling, like people interviewed normal civilians, kind of said they thought, like, good on them. But did he, the key point of Robin Hood is that he did not keep the money. He gave the majority to the poor. So the poor rip everything to shreds, weren't you?

But they're definitely the thing and I feel it a lot as well where I'm back and in this show, when you're talking about criminals, I'm normally back and for them to get away with the DB Cooper and those guys, I'm on board. I said what I just said, but I love these guys. Yeah, they're so cool. Now, but I think it's just that they're stealing from like big companies. Like the big companies. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, if they're stealing from, it's like, what do you got? Just rattle out your little piggy bank there little girl. Or someone take your life savings.

No, they're taking. They're taking dollars. I still take it. Oh no, you took a diamond away from someone that was willing to pay $5 million for a diamond. Exactly. Yeah, I'm with you.

Yeah, so it's pretty interesting. Even detectives and some of the interpol agents kind of tip their hat to them in a way, it's kind of a sense that they're so good at what they do that it's pretty interesting. Even detectives and some of the interpol agents kind of tip their hat to them in a way It's kind of a sense that they're so good at what they do that it's impressive It's really like even interpol was kind of like good on a American. Yeah No, not really but then they tend not to be Violent at all now according to one gang member the group is made up of many small teams There's no one big boss controlling everything.

It's like, there's no boss. No, it's like a wide chain of command. And there's no like headhunt show. No, I'll never work. Never work. Well apparently, Bloody Duds champ. And he says, to do what we do, you need to be smart and skilled.

So how did it all start? I hear you asking. I wrote, so how did it all start? I hear you asking. I wrote so how did it all start? Come on. I am... I'm pages of notes. I'm keen to know how did it all start. Well, after the breakup of Yugoslavia there was a series of political upheavals and conflicts which caused Yugoslav wars. That is actually in the hat. So what does... Yugoslav wars? Yugoslavia in the countries it split up into. Well there you go. And around that time so it was between 1991 and 2001. A lot of people became involved in crime because there weren't

jobs for them and a lot started with smuggling goods across borders, started with clothing and then jewelry and then other things sort of followed from there. One of the panthers who's referred to as Mike described his best job which was in Spain. This is really cool because like he sort of gives you the how it works from their point of view. So it was a boutique jula that had really beautiful products. Diamonds galore. I wrote diamonds galore. Did Mike say that? That's a perkins. They scoped it out, but they noticed there was no easy way to access the store. But then... Wow, they didn't have a door!

Do things differently in Spain. I've always said that. Always said that. So there's no easy access to the store so then they had an idea. So even near shop next door. What? Yeah, right. So it's got a door.

It's got a door. You got a door then you got a gym. That ad was incredible. Gotta have that translate. I think it's in American guy. I don't think you got a door. You got a door then you got a gym. I know it's so way to get into the building. More importantly in gym. So this evening it doesn't work every way though. You got a gym you don't definitely have a door.

Let me tell you that. You probably have a door but some gym they don't have a door. What gym does that have to do? no door okay okay gotta go and then he runs into the wall because this is the fuck this this Jim's got no door I'm gonna die in the gym that's why I look this good it's lived in a gym for 10 years just as a cat yeah yeah food just can hindsight, I may be locked in the prison gym. So, in most of the time, every group, there is one woman. And Mike says there's only ever one. I'm trying to just really explain why.

Maybe they get too caddy. I don't know. They can't be trusted in the gym. Let me tell you that. They love doors. You ever seen a girl in the gym? I don't think so. Well, not in my gym. I'm the tell you that. I love doors. You ever seen a girl in the gym? I don't think so. Well, not in my gym.

I'm the only one here. I'm trapped. Please send help. Please. The women in the Panthers have to be exceptional. Mike says, have to be exceptional. They're intelligent, they're beautiful, elegant, and they need to love money. Sounds like you're describing yourself,

they're just perkins. Oh my god, Dave Warnocky. Thank you so much. That's right. I needed that. You're beautiful. Stop it. You're clever and you're obsessed with my.

I am. I love it. Patreon.com slash. Do go out. Support Jess's diamond habits. What are you doing with them? I got a habit for done. Anyway, now the woman in this group was referred to as Lena.

She was interviewed as well and she was fascinating. The way she spoke about herself was so arrogant. She was like, oh, I was beautiful. But if you know you the best. No, absolutely. So. I have to be exceptional We only and in the panthers. We only accept women of an exceptional quality They got to be beautiful. This is a brand-o

Good brand is a very good brand. They're the most people that claim they're good at it. Oh you guys Yeah, that was kind of my calling compliments go Lord tonight. That's one So back to the back to the souvenir shop. Nice. Lina befriended the Spanish owner of the souvenir shop. And she didn't purposefully seduce him, but she said he was infatuated by her looks. But she did seduce him. And she seduced him.

But it's like I'm going to let her seduce him. But you know, one thing we're doing now, though. He hired her to work at the shop, not really to sell things because their Spanish wasn't good enough but to oversee the running of the business. So basically just to hang around. First the other work is couldn't understand what you said. So weird but she was so pretty. Your manner, I don't know what you're saying but the tone seems off. Your ten minutes late. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, what are you? Does that mean something? I don't know, don't speak Spanish. You see.

So, she had to gain his trust in order to be able to scope out the building itself, including the internal wall that joined the store to the jewelry store next door. So, she was just kind of like, scoping out the building. Oh, what's this over here? Just checking for studs. What's going on here? Okay. Scoping out the building. Oh, what's this over here? Just checking for studs. What's going on here? Okay, you're like, oh, good leaners

Really loving that wall. I just like walls anyway. I'm real pretty So that's her stick So she monitored the jewelry store as well and noted when they opened and closed when they were gonna get coffee The habits of the people working there probably could they probably had a sign on the door. Probably could have just figured that out. So probably Google it. I'm not doing that. Google. Oh, it's apparently closed on Sundays.

Yeah. Took me, that information took me a year, and I slept with 17 people. Hahaha. Hmm? Hmm? Some of those were tourists. Hahaha. As I was with, I'd been to that store yet.

Anyway. Most of them didn't pay off. Works work, huh? Those were tourists. They just asked me if they'd been to that store yet. I don't know. Most of them didn't pay off. Works work, huh? You know, you've got to earn a living. This is irrelevant to that, but just another thing I believe. Just, just about for us. In these teams, a woman is the most important member.

The man could stick out in a jewelry store, but a woman can browse and try things on and not stand out at all. I don't know. Wow, there's been like seven muscular serbians that have tried on T.R. as in the last hour. Weird. That usually happens on Friday, only in its Monday. What a memorable day. If anybody were to ever ask if anything suspicious that happened recently. Yeah, I checked the security cameras on this day.

Most importantly though, the woman's job is to scout the shop and take account of everything. Who's there, how many displays are there, distance between displays and counters, how many cameras, entrances, all that sort of thing, right? So Lena would take a ring into the store and say she'd lost weight and needed it to be resized. And so while they're doing that she's got enough time to have a look around and assess everything and she's not suspicious because she's waiting for them to do it. So she's got all this time, smart. That's really good.

Very smart. This is really cool. When she returned home, another member of the team would sketch the floor plan based on her descriptions. So now they've got an idea of the floor plan of the store. It's like Ocean's 11. It totally is. It's so cool. But it also seems doable. Between the three of us, we could totally do this.

Don't say that on a podcast. Fuck. Now it's recorded. Yeah, we'll never do it, right, guys. We'll never do it. Matt is not winking. Hey, no, I don't. No, I don't. I said you're not winking.

Oh, okay, great. You're not. He's still not winking. But why were you winking when you said that? We're definitely made a very confused. I'm a really bad winker, so I probably can't join here. You're very exaggerated winker I'm a great winker. Go again. It's one of those. Just like a that's delicate. Why not? Yeah, I'm a delicate winker What is the exception of a winker and exceptional quality? Mm-hmm. Is that part of the audition? Yeah, you've got to be able to wink. You're such a subtle winker that I think hang on.

Did she just lynching you? Did you do that? Yeah. I would need two to confirm. Go one. Or double. I just did it in a quick double. Fuck you, I got it.

Yeah, thank you. Anywho. So this, this heist took four months of planning. Then one night during a festival celebration They decided to pout with all the noise and the music from the festival happening in the street No one could hear them breaking through the wall of the souvenir shop ooooh They made a hole in the wall and they squeezed through they ignored the jewels on display because they knew they were all alarmed

Mike said they always alarm the cheap stuff as a decoy. The really good stuff is in the safe. What? So all the stuff in little displays that you could grab is like no no point. That's cheap shit and it's alarmed. That's a great tip. Very good. Which I will not be using and I'm not winking. Well I wouldn't be using it anyway. Yeah okay. I'm confused. If you say I'm not winking while winking. Does that mean you are winking? I think the wink overrides the words. It's gonna be terrible thieves. But a wink means you're saying what I'm saying is not really true. So if you're saying I'm not winking while you're winking, is that overruled your words

to mean that you are winking? Alright, let me be more straight here. I'm going to rob a jewelry store tonight. He did not win. He didn't win, so that means he's fibbing. I'm very, he's flimbing. Conflement, that was flim. You see him flimbing. He's flimbing. The number one flimmer. Anyway, so all the good stuff's in the safe. So they go to the safe They try to open up, but they can't get it open. Jeez, Louise So they go get a car jack from the van pick up the safe put it in the van It feels like the fact the safe shouldn't be movable. Well apparently it is

But they just with a car jack too. What's it? What did the jack do get it off the wall off the floor? Yes It's like a lifter. Yeah. You got a Lena. You got a lifter. Lifter and Lena. What are you? A lifter or a Lena? That's very good. Lifter is the second most important person. Yeah. Lena is the most important. The lifter, second most important. So they drove, they drove the van like through the festivities and out into the forest where they'd be safe and they worked on it all night and they could get it open.

And they had to wait until morning so they could go and buy additional tools they needed to get it open. And once they had the extra tools it just took them just over an hour to get it open and they found... Here we go. That it was full! Oh, honestly thought empty. No, three bags of stones, two bags of bracelets and one bag of watches. Three bags of stones, oh hello. When the robbery was reported in the news, it was said the haul was three million dollars worth of stuff. This is so funny. Mike said there was also a dildo in the safe and he said, I bet you they didn't declare that to the police.

What? Was it time and stuff? But I would also really like if somebody who was working at that jewelry store was watching this documentary now and he says that they're like, oh shit, he's legit. I did not declare that Oh, no, so what happens from there? Do you mean what do they do with the deal though? No, what do they do with the jewels the deal though? I believe that you don't do anything with so the gang take the stones to their contact in Bellgrade He has to sell a broad as a sue risky for the panthers to what laner?

Yes to sell a broad as a sue risky for the panthus to what Lena has to sell abroad. Oh, maybe. Took Dave a little too long. That's okay. Comedy's not first nature for all of us. I'm so sorry. Yeah, that hurts. I think she was referring to me. So it's too risky for the panthus do it right so they go through their contact and a courier takes the stones to a mediator to sell and that takes a couple of days. Panthers take 20 to 30% depending on the value of the diamond and the courier takes a 5% cut. So it's like a really quick turnaround. It's like you've done the theft. You've done a theft. You've thieved and then within a few days you've got cash in hand. Okay so in the 90s the US asked the UN to prevent diamonds muggling because the war in Sierra Leone was being financed by diamond trade. So America then requested that every diamond traded in Sierra Leone had to have a certificate of its origin.

So the pink panthers would take their diamonds to a man referred to as Mr. Green who would process the diamonds and forge diamond certificates. Sting they were from Sierra Leone. Yeah or just like that, wherever they'd have an origin and they'd be authentic. But what they would do is the diamonds are cut and reshaped and therefore they get smaller. So if it was a 30 carat before it would be a 15 carat now and it's almost, it's not possible to prove that they're not clean according to Mr. Green. It's like you can't prove that they're not clean. It's like they're almost new diamonds. Oh wow. And ironically, his biggest client is America. And he's like, I've never been to big

clients, big like the America whole country. Whole country. He said, I've never been to America, but I know that my diamonds are on the hands of their brides. Ooh, take that America you dickheads. Now we got a lot of American lists now. I really love you. Thank you. Thank you. I really love you.

Thank you. But if you have a diamond on you, there's a good chance it's a Panther diamond. Is that bad though? It gives a shit. That's more fun. Probably. How are you getting your marriages definitely going to succeed if you're on a Panther diamond?

Okay, you're really on the side of the Panthers, aren't you? Yeah, big time. I like it. that's good. I haven't killed anyone yet. Yet. No, I don't think, well, I think they might. So all I, what I want to kind of finish with is a list of their arrests. Just a few of them.

So some have been busted. Some have been busted, but remembering that, I mean, some sources think there's 60 of them and others think there's hundreds. A few arrests, there's still plenty of them out there. But the people that are arrested obviously aren't ratting. No. But that's the thing, because they're all part of small groups and there's no big boss. If you're right, you may write out, let's say, the three of us are a team.

I know a YouTuber, but I just don't mean I know other people in the same organization. Like I know this team. Right. So I can write out you and you, sure, and then we're all fucked, but that doesn't bring down the whole organization. But then you don't you write out your go, who's the link to the next guy? Maybe. And then they follow that chain or they try to.

Maybe. I don't know, I'm not a criminal myself. Maybe got to you've got some tendencies me criminal tendencies yeah you're very smooth am I yeah okay so that time you you know you stole a hundred things and at times I stole a hundred things you're hearts fellas hundred Hot fellas 100 hearts at once Am I doing that? She was at a cow farm. Oh, no, so there was this notice impressive that first standard now It's quite late on a Friday night. You know, it cares what they're for. I think I've got four hearts. Yeah, the grass starts in one chamber than moves the next. What did you think they're eating four hearts for?

Then again, what do they need for stomachs for? Am I right? I don't think the stomachs things real either. Yeah, it is. No, I don't think so. I think it's just like sections of the same thing or something. This could be like when you told our listeners, if they have a lost an arm to put it in milk.

Look, don't listen to us for science. It turns out that I was thinking of tooth, and even that was wrong. Look, don't listen to us for anything. Don't listen. Listen to us for things. No, don't, don't do it. That's enough.

I like it when they listen. Yeah, me too. Yeah, listen, just don't take the advice at face or any other value. Sorry for coughing on you. Okay, so some of their arrests. The thieves have been identified and linked through DNA matching according to Interpol. In 2005, three Serbs, two men and one woman were arrested in Belgrade. In October 2007, they were sentenced to jail terms by a court in Serbia for the theft of the Comtis de Vendonme necklace, which was worth approximately 15 million pound, or 30 million US dollars from a Tokyo Joula, and that was Japan's biggest ever Jou jewelry robbery in March 2004.

So they got busted for a big one. Fancy necklace. That's a big, that's a big, big bus. I kind of like imagining that one, sort of like the necklace from the Titanic. You know, like it's a real fancy necklace. The heart of the ocean. Yeah, it's probably even fancy. Wow.

Even fancy. Probably. And then Rose's just buddy drops it in the water. What are you doing Rose? Give it to your kids. Help them out. You're fucking idiot. No, she drops it in the action.

Fucking. Sorry, spoilers. Firm who hasn't seen Titanic. Also. What bit does that spoil? Hang on, someone called Rose's going to drop something in the sea. I hope that chips are right. In 2009 French police in Monte Carlo detained another three members of the gang when they

were seen loitering near jewelry shops in Monaco. So smart. Shout out to our one listener in Monaco. I'm gonna say, yeah, we got a regular communicator from Monaco. Hello One of the three arrested his name was dragon Fucking great name. Is that a code name? No, he's in DRAGEN. It's a name Love it. It's a great name. First of all, it's on I can't say his last name, so I'm just gonna call him dragon He was of special interest to the police investigation I'm just gonna call him dragon. He was of special interest to the police investigation. He's from Serbia and he's on the on Interpol's most wanted list

Possibly being a senior member of the Pink Panther's He's also been on the run since 2005 after breaking out of jail via a ladder whilst other people fired machine guns at the prison So he just scoots out down a ladder Because there's no door. No door. Guys, I can't find this door. How about this door? Hey, how about this ladder? Machine guns.

You got a ladder, you got a gym. Well, you know. It's, it's all- It's all- No, let's be honest, you got a ladder. You got a ladder. But that's quite important. Most, or some of the most recently, in 2013,

a member of the gang escaped from a prison in Switzerland and he hasn't yet been caught. He's still out there. He's still out there. What's really interesting is one of their biggest heists was in a mall in Dubai in 2007. And it was like a scene from the Italian job I think I would like in it too. Original remake. Mark Wahlberg in the remake. Who's in the original? No idea. I've steeped my queen at someone like that.

Someone's super cool. Patrick, Swazier, you know. Robert Redford. Yeah, Gary McDonald. Gary McDonald was in it, that's you know. Well, the reds are... Yeah, Gary McDonald. They're all there. The game of Donald was in it, that's for sure. Anyway, they backed, so they had two cars, two outies. Two minis. No, outies, unfortunately. Ines of minis or outies. No, no, no, no. Ines ines are outies.

Bentley that in joke. Bentley that in joke. So one of the cars backs in to the door of the... Gangsta stuff. Yeah, you got to be ready. Backs into the door of the mall and the other one follows. And then they get out of the car, they smash into the jewelry store, they smash like the front window, grab all their stuff,

get back in the car, out the door, onto the highway, and the police later were like, the whole thing took less than 10 minutes like including getaway out on the highway get far away ditch the cars burn the cars get in the getaway car and take off less than 10 minutes that's super cool it's very fast and efficient and crazy that is really good you'd want to be making some sort of a profit when you have to burn a couple of luxury cars. Yeah, I think there may have been rentals or probably stolen.

But I mean, you're basically stolen them and burnt them. I guess they're easy to liquidate, liquefy. What do you say? They're like, get, turn something in a money. Cashify. We've never made anything to money. Yeah, I guess a car is a lot of stolen anyway There's Michael Cain Michael Cain job you look that up

Moaname, no, that's not good. No, that was pretty good. Go again Moaname is Michael Cain. That's not bad. It's quite good, go again. My name is Marko Kane. That's not bad. That's quite good. Oh, I am. It's probably pretty soft. Marko Kane. Oh, that's pretty good too.

That's the chorus. Catchy-Chang. Do you sell for five? My name is Mahu Kay. That's the chorus. Gachi-Chan. Do you sell for Favour? Wow. A bit of vague English.

Some clearly Australian with a weird fan. Molly Melodum's catchphrase. I do the lot. Do yourself a favour. Do yourself a favour. My dream is that do yourself a favor will become my catchphrase. I say it more than he ever has already. Do you go on a favor?

Do you go on a favor? I'm going to try and, what about this one? Do yourself a Molly Maldram. Do yourself a Molly? Maybe just a Molly. Molly. How international is this? I don't know who Molly Maldram is.

Really? They don't know who Molly Maldram is. I don't think so. The man who produced the real thing by Russell Morris Really Really mean See the real thing come and see the real thing come and see the real thing come and see I am the real thing

Anyway that's sort of it's kind of a topic that leads to a lot of dead ends because they're still- Because that's what they want you to do. Exactly. Yes. They're still out there.

There's not a lot of information about them. They're like I kind of want them to just keep going. Would you join them if you could? No. Oh. I'm not exceptional them if you could? No. Oh, just because. I'm not exceptional enough. I'm not exceptional. Is that still a thing?

We can only have one woman. She has to be exceptional. We'll accept any fucking man. No, they won't. They won't, they're not just your basic crooks. They are very good at what they do. They're really good at breaking into safes. And they're very skilled. So they're not idiots. They're smart safes and like they're very skilled so they're not idiots

they're smart people and you've got it like that's the thing they take so long to scope out places I'd get bored. I'm like ugh. Let's just do it tonight. Yeah. I've got the night off. Let's do it. I'm bored. I'm bored. I've got the shit ready to go. Come on. I put it on the bench. I got the shit ready to go Put it on the bench No, no, we got three months to the shit on the bench man either Just keep holding all right Yes, and the plan will come off just wait

Nobody's gonna sit on a bench Covenant I reckon that's not a perfect plan. What happened is I'd be okay I'd been recruited and they'll be alright, and I will give you the easiest job You just have to make sure no one sits on the bench anyway, and I'll be like I got this and I'll get a rest and shitty on the bench I just wrap them all out and I bring down the whole pink panther grids. I should've actually you just squatting on top of the bench. Like at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. There's kids playing.

Kids, the lunchtime, I've done it on a Sunday. With your tiny butt, I would do picture like sheep's soul, pellets. To the one at a time. Just rolling off the bench. And it was like, duh. I have to physically place them one moment. I super clue my own shit onto a bench. And I get it right. Excuse me sir, what are you doing?

Don't you know who I am? I'm Michael Kane. That would be my alias. My alias, Mr. Green. There's a Lena, Mike, Michael Cain, the role there. That's so good. Isn't his name not even Michael Cain? Yeah, that's right. Oh no, I think he might have changed it recently by a deep call.

Yeah, he might have actually. I don't know. Anyway, that's my report. I'm really sorry for coughing lots. I'm very sick. Oh, his name is Maurice Joseph Michael White Michael White Maurice. I'm Maurice. Michael. What? Pardon? I mean Michael came But he's changing it because apparently I think this is what I read

He was saying that at airports and stuff people go. No, you're not. Yeah, yeah What's up? What there's someone's on and then it just hold him up for agents That's what I read, he was saying that at airports and stuff, people go, no you're not. Yeah, yeah. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? There's something's on and then it just hold him up for agents. What do you mean?

They said you're not Michael Cain. No, they'd go, you're not Maurice. You're Michael Cain. Whatever, you're Michael Cain. What's up? You can't come, I know you're a celeb, but you can't have a fake passport and you'd be like, no, that's my actual name. Michael Cain, just age name.

Betty does have a fake passport because he's part of the pink pattern group. I'm convinced. I've seen the evidence. Yeah. He's from the Italian job. My, Jess Perkins is a stage name. What's your real name? Well, I'm not gonna tell you, am I?

Is it Michael K? Yes. Is it Jessica Ann Perkins? Yes. That's too lengthy. So I just go for Jess Perkins. It's part here. I want a stage name.

Jess Perkins. Pretty good stage name. It's one of the best. I have changed my Twitter name to Bob. That's great. It's getting real traction. Jess Perkins, yeah. I appreciate it.

I like it when the list is full of Bob. You've raised the head of me on Twitter. I reckon some of the people will follow Do go on and then follow some of us individually. Yeah. I reckon they all follow you and I reckon maybe one in three. Why do you think that is? Cause I fire content. I think it's fire content. Honestly, I was at 9.96 the other day and I messaged my good friend Sam Taunten. And I said, Sam, I was very sick and I said Sam I'm probably going to

die tonight. I need to get to a thousand followers to help me out and he tweeted guys just got a message from Jess Perkins saying she's going to quit comedy if she doesn't get to a thousand. And you lost a few? I did lose a few but I gained a few more so now I'm over a thousand. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks Jesus. Use them to pair of taunting on Twitter. You got it. You got a good idea. Male model slash comedian. He's not a male model. Male model. I'm going to, yeah, I say because it's fun, a very funny people saying male model. It's like, yeah, we know he's a, the male parts imply.

Just say model. He's a male model. He's a model. He's a model. So that's enough. He's enough. I've done a bit of modeling. Mail or something else. Hand modeling. Mail hand modeling? No clay modeling. I make the clay models. Into men or men and objects. How many vases. Models of vases. Answer me that. Not the real ones. It's a scale model. But yeah, you wouldn't put flowers in it.

Oh, no, no, no. It's just a model. A male model. Oh, we've had a great time tonight. What a fade out. We've had a great time tonight. Just a little fizzle. And we'd like to thank

The man that magic that suggested this topic Nicholas Nicholas DeVaDenko Who's that? The Russian player tennis player Nikolay to have a dinkle. Okay. No, Niko figs Niko figs I'm just a great topic and I've I think I've seen it in the headline before, Pink Panther strikes again and I was like, I was that, but I never knew anything. Yeah, it's really interesting, but it was a tough one because there wasn't a lot of information about it, but that kind of makes it more exciting.

They've got to really work on their PR. They do. They do. They make a Facebook page. They do. Twitter. Instagram's been huge for us. So, Instagram maybe.

Yeah, just a standard to do Instagram stories. She's in the middle of doing one right now, which will be days ago by the time he hits. Yeah, yeah, that's okay. You don't need to know what we're doing. You just got to see. Do Instagram, like I can ask this later, but do Instagram stories, I can, but I'll proceed to last. Do Instagram stories have a use by day. Yeah, they like snapchat stories where they last a day Yeah, I think they'll last about a day maybe even less great Because this episode was brought to you by our magnificent patreon supporters. We're gonna read out a name each Thank you to the people that have a I was thinking about this. Do we do enough with it?

I think you need to like maybe maybe guess like make an assumption about them as a person or something. Okay. All right. All right. Okay.

Thank you so much to Chris Levinder.

Oh, okay. I see what you did there. It smells great, Chris. You smell. Very good. So great. Nothing to do with your name, I genuinely know you personally. That's a nice thing to say, too, actually.

It smells like shit. Yeah, that is definitely a nice non-crazy thing to say to a stranger. I like when people say you smell nice. I remember one time my ex-boyfriend said, you smell good, and I said, oh, thank you. And then I remember he had no sense of smell. I was like, no.

It's a weird thing to say. Is that why you dumped him? Yeah. Sounds like he had it come into them. Yeah. Okay, this person I reckon would be the go to person to look after your dog if you're going away for a weekend. Where are you? Just like trustworthy. It's a Chris Lavender. It's not Chris Lavender. Although Chris Lavender would be great. But who would also be great? Just because it's trustworthy

I know, like, as I, I'm a little bit more thorough than you guys I look this guy up and he's actually One of the coolest guys in his hometown or city and He's actually a real hit with a lot of the local Hockey players. Oh, yeah, yeah, they for some reason they just Swarmed to him. Wow. Yeah, they love what he's about. Sure.

Because he's got... Right out of tune. OK. Are you talking about Chris Lavender? No. Chris Lavender. Oh, sorry. No, I mean, although they do share some of these qualities,
