Slash host on the podcast. Hey, dude, the 90s called David Lacher and Christine Taylor stars of the cult classic show
Hey, dude, bring you back to the days of slip dresses and choker necklaces
We're gonna use hey, dude as our jumping-off point
But we are going to unpack and dive back into the decade of the 90s
We lived it and now we're calling on all of our friends to come back and relive it
Listen to hey, dude, the 90s called on the iHeart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
Hello everyone, have you stolen anything today? Well, I hope not because that's wrong
There's a real condition called kleptomania and on December 17th 2009
We were inspired to research and talk about it and that's what I decided to go with this week for the stuff
You should know select episode kleptomania very fascinating condition
Don't steal it everyone. You can steal this podcast. That's what I say. It's free anyway, but just steal it take it home
Put it in your pocket. Don't tell anybody
Welcome to stuff you should know from house stuff works calm
Hey and welcome to the podcast I'm Josh Clark the Chuck the Chuck the Chuck is on fire
How you doing Chuck you've been sitting on that one for a while distance yesterday
We've actually have not recorded in two weeks, and I have a feeling Josh has been planning that for two weeks
I just told you I came up with it yesterday
I don't buy I was listening to your sweet voice while I swept the floors in my house
Okay, and I think of dog hair you think of me. I thought like no
I thought it was your voice that made me think of you. Geez. Yeah. I thought man
I've been opening up the show pretty boring wise lately
Well, I'm glad you're talking about this now then. Yeah
anyway
Chuck, how you doing? Good sir. It has been a long time hasn't it? Uh-huh. Okay, so
You know it's stealing season buddy. Is it yeah?
It pretty much kicks off in November and really goes up through the roof on
Black Friday. It's much more difficult to steal during Cyber Monday, but yeah
As Christmas comes around people love to steal people love to hold people up with guns knives
Threats of physical violence that kind of thing. Wow. That's a this is inspiring. Yeah, it is
And actually it turns out that this stealing season will probably be worse than usual
Because there was a report released
Called the global retail theft barometer. Okay. It was released
Um mid-November a couple weeks back the GRTB. Yeah, I'm a fan. I know you are
And it said that this year
Businesses have lost retail businesses have lost a hundred and fifteen billion dollars worldwide
From stealing from theft. What's America? Do you have that?
45 billion Wow because in our article it says 10 billion 10 billion is like an average
So that's a huge increase. It is actually I'll tell you what usually
The there I guess there's an increase every year and usually
Worldwide it increases by about 1.5 percent
I wonder if that's in direct relation to the cost of goods increasing
I think that that actually does have something to do with it in this time article. I read this year
6% increase worldwide. Okay, and in America North America. There's an 8.1 percent increase
Wow, so people are just stealing left and right and they were the authors of the study the
Center for Retail Research apparently talk to cops talk to shoplifters
And said, you know, what's going on? They talked to shoplifters, huh?
How so do you know people who've been busted for shoplifting? Okay?
I thought you meant that had not been caught. No, they just hang around Macy's and they're like
You look like a shoplifter you scuzzball or I saw what you did and I won't report you
If you answer these five questions exactly and give me a saw buck
What is that a 20? I think we've gone over this before I think it's a fiver. Okay, so I'm I know it's a 10. I
Bet we get some Lister mill on this one bet. It's either a fiver or 10
so Chuck what they found from talking to these people is that there is an increase in
the the perception that
Companies are making off with all this money during while everybody else is having hard times
And so they kind of feel justified in stealing gotcha and they're seeing a much rise in the middle class
Stealing people who can afford stuff and just aren't paying right and apparently
This of this victimless crime. That's kind of another perception since you're stealing from a giant corporation
in the United States
We paid an extra four hundred and thirty six bucks a household in
Consumer goods prices. Yeah, that's what happens. Yeah same with credit card
So the shrinkage along right? Yeah same with credit card fraud
That's why I mean that that's not all why but one reason why the interest rates are so sky-high because
People say I'll just charge a bunch of stuff and not pay it insurance fraud
It's just it's just you know that stupid inch that stupid credit card company is gonna take the hit
They're the but they don't know although they should they but they don't they don't take a hit
They pass it all along. Of course they do that's how it works. We're all slaves Chuck suckers
Anyway, somewhere in that those those statistics. I just um, you know
spewed out
but
There are a very tiny pop a percentage of that population that are kleptomaniacs
Whoa, I feel like I just gave birth to a watermelon a square watermelon. Yeah
Yes, Josh kleptomania is not exactly in fact. It's not at all shoplifting
Shoplifting is the means by which you would perform your kleptomania
That's an excellent definition Chuck and I've read this article too, and I know that that was not in there
That was a CD special and just made it up. Yeah, good one
Although I would say you could steal from anyone and that would be kleptomania. It doesn't have to be a store
Yeah, but apparently it is generally stores really or parties
But yeah, if you're gonna steal from another from an individual, it's usually at a party. I think right, but it generally is retailers
Let's what what differentiates kleptomaniacs from shoplifters?
Well, there's actually a definition as outlined by the American Psychiatric Association's
Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, right that says that
They they outline this criteria Josh the individual repeatedly fails to resist the impulse to steal items that are not needed
For personal use or monetary value, right? Yeah
The individual experiences tension before stealing the tension is relieved after stealing and the theft is not due to anger
Revenge delusions hallucinations or impaired judgment, right?
And I think there's yeah, there's one more psychological disorders can't account for the stealing behaviors different other
Psychological disorders. Let's do a little play acting. Oh, I love this. Okay. Um, I'm going to be a kleptomaniac
Okay, you are going to be a tube of lipstick
All right. Okay. Hold on. Let me get into character man. You're you are a master. Okay. I'm there
Okay. All right, so I'm walking into the store and I'm you know looking for some sunglasses that I intend to purchase and all of a sudden
I feel this horrible tension. My stomach is tight
I'm starting to sweat a little bit because I just spotted Chuck the tube of lipstick
Who is sitting there as an inanimate object because if you talk then that's delusion and it doesn't count as kleptomania
So I'm looking at Chuck. I'm feeling this horrible tension. I know that I'm going to steal
I don't want to steal but I have to because it's the only way to relieve the tension
So I've just grabbed Chuck and put him in my pocket and I don't even wear lipstick
There's no explanation for this
I make it out of the store and as I enter into the rest of the mall and start to feel like I'm not about to be caught
That tension goes away
Maybe replaced with a little bit of a thrill a kick right and then boom
I get hit by this crushing guilt. I've just stolen again. Not only have I stolen from something from somebody I
Have failed to yet again resist this overwhelming urge
So I take the lipstick and I go to my grandmother's house who's now dead
But in the scenario she's actually alive and I just put it in with the rest of her lipstick go about my business
Feeling generally bad about myself
Ta-da, can I talk now? Yeah, first of all, who's a little weird being in your pocket. Yeah, let me say that
I liked it. But yeah, dude. You just hit on a lot of the major points
Tension relief of tension a guilt a rush
Giving away what you stole. Yeah stealing something you don't need or hoarding sometimes
Yeah, a lot of times people will hoard it
I read a case of a woman in the early 20th century who was caught shoplifting upper middle class?
They caught her went to her house and found all the stuff that she'd stolen with the price tags
I'm clearly not used. There's not a no one they don't use the stuff that they steal
I've got a hoarder for you, buddy. Let's hear it this dude in April of this year in Israel was busted
They went to his house and they found motorcycle helmets
Watches Louis Vuitton handbags
150 pair of shoes 200 pair of sunglasses
Olive oil laundry detergent all kinds of stuff unopened in this guy's house
Yeah, literally stacked in in every corner of the house from room to room and he admitted that he'd been shoplifting
For a decade every time he went to a story shop lifted for a decade and he clearly lived alone
And no he has a wife and son and now he has a family you know to keep their mouth
Well, this is the funny part and of course, this is from an Israeli newspaper
It says his wife and son are suspected of knowing of his activity, but doing nothing about it
I don't know if that's a formal charge, but he also was busted with a big
Roll of stickers that say like paid for thank you for coming that kind of thing. Oh, so that was part of his deal
He would go in there and like put that on his big TV box or whatever
I wonder if that disqualifies him as a kleptomaniac though. I
Don't think so why cuz he pre-planned it. Uh-huh because one of the things
Freud and rich is that how we say his name? Yes author of this article
PhD
No, I
Thought it was Craig Freundlich. I know there's no hell. Oh, there's not no I totally invented that okay
I've been reading it that way for two and a half years. We're gonna call him dr. Freud. Okay, okay, dr. Freud pointed out that
Um people who are kleptomaniacs true kleptomaniacs or I think from what I gather we don't call them kleptomaniacs
We call them people with kleptomania, right? Don't go into a store intending to steal. They don't go to steal
They're just overcome by the impulse when they're in a store. Yeah, that makes sense
The other thing that makes that guy hinky as a candidate for a person with kleptomania is that he's a man
Yeah, women more often and this is a little hinky, too, but women are more often diagnosed with kleptomania
But that is slanted a little bit because I think it said that women are less likely
To admit to it or to report it to like their psychiatrist that kind of thing. Oh, no men
Men who steal go to prison women who still well psychiatric evaluation. Yeah, so that that could definitely slay the population
but traditionally
People think that kleptomania is a feminine disorder. Yeah, you ever seen the ice storm?
No, I need to oh really?
That's a great movie. Uh, you said that shamefully. I do feel kind of ashamed actually the mother and daughter
Joan Allen and Christina Ricci both
Shoplift in that film at separate times. I think she's about heartbreakers
That's a gurney weaver and what's her name Jennifer. Love you. Yeah. No, I'm talking about the ice storm
I don't think I don't think so. Yeah. In fact, I think Joan Allen actually steals lipstick
There you go. Maybe that was me. Yeah
It is one of my favorite movies
On the podcast paydude the 90s called David Lasher and Christine Taylor stars of the cult classic show
Hey, dude, bring you back to the days of slip dresses and choker necklaces
We're gonna use hey dude as our jumping off point
But we are going to unpack and dive back into the decade of the 90s
We lived it and now we're calling on all of our friends to come back and we live it
It's a podcast packed with interviews co-stars friends and non-stop references to the best decade ever
Do you remember going to blockbuster? Do you remember Nintendo 64? Do you remember getting frosted tips? Was that a cereal?
No, it was hair. Do you remember AOL instant messenger and the dial-up sound like poltergeist?
So leave a code on your best friend's beeper because you'll want to be there when the nostalgia starts flowing
Each episode will rival the feeling of taking out the cartridge from your Gameboy
Blowing on it and popping it back in as we take you back to the 90s
Listen to hey, dude, the 90s called on the I heart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
Hey, I'm Lance Bass host of the new I heart podcast frosted tips with Lance Bass
The hardest thing can be knowing who to turn to when questions arise or times get tough or you're at the end of the road
Okay, I see what you're doing. Do you ever think to yourself?
What advice would Lance Bass and my favorite boy bands give me in this situation if you do you've come to the right place?
Because I'm here to help this. I promise you. Oh god. Seriously, I swear
And you won't have to send an SOS because I'll be there for you
Oh, man, and so will my husband Michael. Um, hey, that's me. Yeah, we know that Michael and a different hot sexy teen crush
Boyband or each week to guide you through life step by step
Oh, not another one. Uh-huh kids relationships life in general can get messy
You may be thinking this is the story of my life. Just stop now. If so, tell everybody ya
Everybody about my new podcast and make sure to listen so we'll never ever have to say bye bye bye
Listen to Frosted Tips with Lance Bass on the iHeart radio app Apple podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts
Yes, Josh
Early teens and 20s if we're talking more about the pattern is usually when it begins
Yeah, but it can run up to I think they found kleptomaniacs in their late 70s
Yeah, didn't we do a story about Japanese elderly that are stealing? Yeah, just so they'll get caught and like
Mm-hmm have a friend. Yeah, they're so lonely. They're trying to basically make friends with the police by being arrested
So that's not kleptomaniac. That's your shop. No, and I don't know I was thinking about when I saw that in the late 70s
Um, I thought of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry finds out that his parents steal batteries and in turn finds out that
Almost all elderly people steal batter. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. Yeah for their tip calculators. Is that what it's for?
The Willard I'm ruined
You know another thing Josh is uh, you you hit on it again with your little play acting
They usually steal stuff they can afford and stuff like shampoo it listed. Mm-hmm and sunglasses are big and
They like famously Winona Ryder Winona Horowitz, excuse me
No, yeah, really? Uh-huh. That's her name. I had no idea. She famously stole several thousand dollars from Sex Fifth Avenue
Five thousand I think yeah, she can definitely swing that. Yeah, and I don't know if it ever came out that they
Did they ever plead kleptomania or anything with her? Did they know?
No, just quietly tried to you know pay their fine and yeah, and that that brings up a pretty good point is a kleptomania defense is
Really really hard
To prove or to successfully get off on it is
You know why why?
Well, your defense lawyer must argue
Win the argument that there was no reason for you to steal it right no financial gain no revenge
They got to prove all those things beyond a reasonable doubt. First of all, yeah, that's one you want to follow up
Well, I know that the the justice department doesn't recognize kleptomania as a defense
So if you're up for federal charges, don't even try it
Yeah, exactly and that's that's like the americans with disabilities act that's in legislation. So right good luck
and
So chuck kleptomania
What is it is it an actual disease should it be covered in the americans with disabilities act should the doj
Finally open up their eyes and be like okay. Okay. There's such a thing as kleptomania. Well, we don't know for sure
There's uh, some people think it's like tagged on to other psychological disorders
Like what like obsessive compulsive
Or personality and mood disorders. Okay, so it may possibly like it could be a symptom
Yeah, or a byproduct of a larger disorder, right? Yes, okay
But by and large it's classified as an impulse control disorder like gambling or pyromania fire starting awesome. Yeah, or
Trickotillomania, yes, I've never heard of that. Yeah obsessive hair pulling
Yeah, I wonder if that means pulling your own hair or other people's probably both. I don't know
Huh, that's an excellent question actually and it got our producer jerry giggling. So, you know, it's good. Yeah
So it's either a uh a symptom of a larger disorder or it's its own impulse control disorder. Um, one of the reasons we don't know
is because
treatments um for
Kleptomania are
Hit or miss
Yeah, and they haven't studied a lot and the other thing is like it hit me like everything else with the brain
It's still sort of a mystery. It is and one of the reasons why they have had trouble studying kleptomania is
Finding kleptomaniacs, right? I found a study from 2002 that was just getting off the ground at stanford
And um, these people were looking for 24 kleptomaniacs for their study and we're having to go on tv radio
Everywhere to try to find like true kleptomaniacs and one of um, this guy who was quoted in a in this article on the study
Um, a guy named will cup chick, which is a pretty cool name if you ask me agreed
He's a toronto psychologist. He said um in the 450 cases. I've assessed probably only one or two of the people were actual kleptomaniacs
Really, we're talking about a very very small
Fascinating part of the larger population. Didn't they I think I saw someone in the article. They they
Said maybe five percent of
Psychiatric patients. Yeah admit to being or our diagnosis kleptomania
Right and and you just uh, you you revealed something else too. I think a lot of it is admission
I mean like remember when me the play act in kleptomaniac left and went into the mall was crushed by guilt
I remember that I wanted to get the object away from me. You remember the desire to uh keep
This secret I think probably keeps a lot of people from coming forward
Yeah, so we have no idea how large or small this population is but I think from people who examine shoplifters
They find that the actual kleptomaniacs among them are a very small population, right?
um, you know who has studied it
The university of minnesota school of medicine. Yeah, specifically
psychiatrist john grant and he studied the brain
And there are a few little he posits a few theories here one is that a a defect in a molecule that transports serotonin
Might be messed up. Yeah. Well, not the defect. It was messed up. It would clearly be messed up
It was a defect if the defect is messed up then you're a okay
Potentially head trauma could cause something like this. It could damage the circuits
Uh in the frontal lobes, right that could maybe happen and uh decrease in the fine structure of white matter
In the frontal lobe, but it's all in the frontal lobe, right and the limbic system
Which as of course we know is the brain's reward center
Uh, um, so that's in the frontal lobe, right, which also controls um impulse or the frontal lobe controls impulse mood
There you have it, dude. Yeah, so clearly it's it could be its own disorder in the frontal lobe, right? Something's going on up there
um, so did we say that uh treatments
Don't work all that well like um, sometimes
Uh ssri's
Work, but not all the time right cognitive um therapy works sometimes you want to talk about some of the cognitive therapy
Yeah, you know cognitive therapy cracks me up a little bit. Yeah, it's like snapping a rubber band on your wrist when you have like an
Impure thought right um covert sensitive sensitization. Josh is when a patient
Wants to steal and then all of a sudden you're you're trained to imagine the consequences
Which to me that's like I thought that's what you're just supposed to teach people. It's like um, no
It's like you're getting trouble spraying a cat in the face like every time it does something you don't want with a little water bottle
Yeah
Uh aversion therapy
That is if you feel the urge to steal you will be told to do something like holding your breath until it's literally painful
Oh, i'm sorry. That's the one that's like spraying a cat in the face. Yeah, you are right with that covert sensitization
That is kind of what we as humans should be walking around doing at all times, right?
Yeah, thinking about the consequences of your actions. Sure
Uh, and then the last one they use is uh systematic desensitization
which is uh relaxation therapy and substituting
Relaxing feelings instead of the urge to steal
All of those are probably um the most difficult thing kleptomaniac will ever attempt too
I found another little study though. Let's hear it check in april of this year. They uh started a test where they gave
uh kleptomaniacs or kleptomaniac, what do we call them again? Those with kleptomaniac? People with kleptomaniac
I guess no one wants to be called a maniac in any way
uh, they they
Studied they got 25 habitual thieves
men and women between 17 and 75 and they gave them the drug
Naltrexone
Which is what they give alcoholics and drug addicts to curb their their bad behavior
Is that the stuff that makes your hangover really really bad?
I think so it's supposed to quell those impulses and it kind of worked
Um after eight weeks they found that two-thirds of the uh people who had not given the placebo
Had no urge to steal and only like eight percent had placebo did so they also ate their vegetables
It went to bed when they were told to it's a be good drug. Yeah
We could use that Chuck
On the podcast hey, dude the 90s called david lasher and christine taylor stars of the cult classic show
Hey, dude bring you back to the days of slip dresses and choker necklaces
We're gonna use hey, dude as our jumping off point

So leave a code on your best friend's beeper because you'll want to be there when the nostalgia starts flowing

About my new podcast and make sure to listen so we'll never ever have to say bye. Bye. Bye. Bye
Listen to frosted tips with the lance bass on the i heart radio app apple podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts
Is that it almost okay, we're going to travel back to the beginning now or this should have been at the beginning
Okay, uh kleptomania was um, I think it first appears in literature in uh, 397 ce
Okay, uh, st. Augustine admitted to
Lusting to thieve boy st. Augustine was something else. He really was
If he existed at all sure, um, and then it ends up in the medical literature in 1816
Uh, swiss physician by the name of mathy wrote of a unique madness characterized by the tendency to steal without motive
And without necessity. Do you have it 1816? Yep
And then freud came in and said that had something to do with penis envy
No, no kidding and now it's a 45. Well, not sort of kleptomania, but shoplifting is a 45 billion dollar in this country
Yeah, took off from 1816 to 2009. Jeez. It's good stuff
All right. Well, that's kleptomania. If you want to know any more you can read the article by our own dr. Freud
Um, uh by typing in kleptomania. Remember it begins with a k
Uh in the handy search bar at howstuffworks.com and since I just said that of course dear friends
This means listener mail
Josh i'm just gonna call this
Hippy rob followed up. Whoo, your old buddy hippie. Should you say something about hippie rob? Well, let's wait till after okay
Uh, hi, josh and chuck. I like them when they start that way. I don't normally write into
TV shows or radio shows, etc
But I've heard josh talk about hippie rob and at the end of the hangover podcast
He mentioned that he wanted to hear from people who knew of his whereabouts
I do in fact know a hippie rob and wanted to offer my knowledge of this person to determine
If it was the same hippie rob and I've seen this email and I know that it's a real hippie rob because he capitalized the h and the rob
The hippie rob. I know is originally from venal haven main
A medium-sized a medium-sized island off the coast of down east main
Let's say things weird up there down east
His full name. I didn't say his full name here, but it's robert blank
And uh, he has thick blonde redlocks
He's sure telltale sign of a hippie. Sure. He was about 5 10 and never talked about his age
But I would put him in the upper 30s and possibly lower 40s in 1998
He loves coffee hates alcohol
And he mentioned one of his other habits that he loves which we're not going to mention on the air
But his name is hippie rob. So fill in the blanks. Right
Uh, he squatted at my apartment in portland main for the summer of 1998
This is so close at the time. He was living off of social security from a quote permanent work related accident
I think we've all known a hippie rob. Yeah, uh, but something told me that his permanent disability was not physically related
I would see him every few summers in main and he would shoot the breeze
We would shoot the breeze while drinking coffee and doing other things. He was a terrible mooch
I know that he loved to travel the warm places in the winter with his favorite being hawaii
And uh, if you read this on the air, could you give a shout out to my girlfriend christin?
It was amazing support about me listening to the podcast gaylin from portland main. So josh, is it hippie rob?
No, there's a couple of things missing here. It is so close. I mean the age
Uh, one thing is no one knows the origin of the real hippie rob. No one knows where hippie robs from dreadlocks
He does. Yes. Um, he uh, and he's blonde although you would say more like strawberry blondish
Sure, not true blonde
um
Has a beard kind of a little guy
Uh in 1998 he would have been late 30s or so world-class mooch. Oh man big time
Yeah, well you used to like, you know, we'd buy beer and we'd buy sear and avada beer and rob didn't have any money for a while
and then he'd get paid and um
He had his turn to buy the beer and he'd buy like a 12 pack of milwaukee beast ice and we'd be like
This is this is not the same rob. Right. Um
Um, uh, there's a dog missing and this is a very key point the dog sedona
I'll have to tell you about him sometime. Okay. Uh, he's a wolf dog named sedona hippie rob owned. Yes. Okay. No
They were best friends. There was no, of course. He has a wolf dog. That's so appropriate that he's best friends
And then the real giveaway was that
hippie rob loved alcohol, right? That's he would never even now he could have given up booze
No one would have no one would say hippie rob hates alcohol. He just doesn't drink it anymore
And he probably still does hippie rob loves alcohol. So that was the one that was the telltale giveaway. All right
So not hippie rob unfortunately. Yeah, and I guess if you know where hippie rob is
I've revealed some more clues here send us an email. We still want to know we're looking for him
And uh, is it christen or kirsten chuck?
Who? Uh in the email galen's girlfriend. Uh, kirsten. Kristen special thanks to you for letting galen listen to us
We appreciate that. Uh, if you have any cool stories about your significant other letting you do something
