Although it's funny because you weren't here a few weeks back and I had to do that and I'm like, wait, what does he say? Yeah, but when I'm in the moment, you are madding word for word. That's like, have you ever, you know, you do karaoke and you think you know the song so well, because you sing along with the words. Yeah. But that's, I'm obviously singing slightly behind the words by split second
Starting point is 00:02:19 or whatever, or their remind him as we go. Like you're reading, you're reading the words. Like karaoke, remember. Like karaoke, yeah, no good point. No, I'm talking about you know, on the radio, when you're hearing the words is easier than when it's just an instrumental track. Sure. Like I remember when I- So when you're saying,
Starting point is 00:02:34 you're saying a instrumental track it's harder to remember the words. Yes. For an instrumental track. Well, no, what- I get what you mean, I get you. I'm glad someone does. Jess works in radio at a music station.
Starting point is 00:02:48 She doesn't seem to understand music. But this one gets, what about, it's when you, you're doing this is you're putting away the cutlery. Yeah. And if the knives and forks are already there, it's easy. But if they're gone, you go, hang on.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Where did they go? On the left, yeah. Forks middle. Thanks so much for putting it into terms that Jess would understand Dinnerware She was lost I was like music what but cutlery come on okay Greta's passion is like he talking my language. Yeah. Oh, I love cutlery dishes. You love spoons
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah, I love cutlery dishes. You love spoons Spoon collection love spoons. Hey Jess. How does this show work? Well this show works We're one of the three of us Dave, Matt and me Jess Take turns Resisting a topic usually suggested by listener. We go away We we research it we bring it back to the other two who listen politely, who never riff along. Spoons. And yeah, we keep it super relevant. Spoons. And if this is your first ever episode, you know, like all podcasts, just give it a go.
Starting point is 00:03:53 You know, you might hate it, but we grow on you. Yeah, you've got to give it a few episodes, but I will say this, I looked at reviews recently. Back to back, there was one that said the best five stars and it was really glowing And the next one was the worst thing I've ever heard one star. Wow I'm like that's that which one did you think about when you're lying about that? The two bests are the one worst Could have been the worst. I think the person who said the worst year ever heard needed to listen to a couple more episodes Yeah, they can play that't like the off topic stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:28 We've made it so clear that's what we do. The show's called Do Go On. A phrase used when people, because we are distracted by something. Anyway, we've done it again, Dave. You're starting this episode with a question to get us on topic. My question is, what's your question? Who's got the open laptop in front of them I think Dave's that cavalier
Starting point is 00:04:48 Is that the question? I'll feel this one I think I'm just going to riff it this way I'm feeling confident I reckon I got it I watched a docker on the weekend and I remember the just stuff He may say it Barry or something
Starting point is 00:05:00 Whoa what a hairpin He's American or Finnish One of the two I don't know. No, it's me and my question is broad and vague. So, strap in. Of the potential heist stories, which is our collective favorite kind of heist.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Bank, stupid. Stupid bank heist. It is not stupid, but it is a bank heist. But is this a stupid bank heist? No, that's why I said it's not stupid. No, I think the answer is not stupid, but it is a bank ice. But is this a stupid bank ice? No, that's why I said it's not stupid No, I think you meant the answer's not stupid, but I was hoping this one would technically be a stupid bank. No, it's not stupid It's quite smart. Okay, actually that's my second favorite a smart pink ice. Yes, but it's not even You know super about the highest I'll you'll you'll see as we go along. More about the character. The friendship.
Starting point is 00:05:47 The friendship, the friendship we made along the way. Love that. This has been suggested by Liz Lafoeva, who we've, you know, a long time supporter. And the only suggestion of this topic, and it's a great topic. So I thought, special shout out. Yeah, special shout out to you, Liz,
Starting point is 00:06:03 and great suggestion. Lafoeva, that actually means, the fever in French. Oh! Oh! And people don't like our off topic stuff. That wasn't technically part of it, but very interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Did we not learn? Yeah, I'm running that down. The fever. Okay, so our story begins in May 1991 in Texas, Attella at the American Federal Bank in Irving, Texas. The Hum. What? Attella, the Hum. That's what you did. I'm sorry I didn't get it for a bit.
Starting point is 00:06:41 It was quite a while between you saying Att I tell her it may say, the hun. I was like, is it the hun? That was a real example of you listening to the words and then singing them off. You know, that's my laugh. My brain is so little behind. I don't feel second to the hun. I'm on a satellite delay in real time.
Starting point is 00:06:58 A tele the hun. Because that's funny. That is funny. That's really funny. That's on me. That's not actually really funny. It was about 10 minutes late. I'm also trying to build some suspense. Yes, sorry.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Attila in Irving, Texas. At the American Federal Bank. The Hun. Greats. Greats. The next customer. A medium height mid 40s white man with graying hair, a slight beer belly and a beard, wearing a leather jacket, sunglasses, and a 10 gallon hat.
Starting point is 00:07:30 It's Texas, that's not that weird. It sounds cool. It sounds very cool. I was like, it's funny, I like that you're saying cool. I'm like, this sounds like me a little bit. You hung what? Yes. You hung medium-high?
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yeah. It's a slightly above reach. Yeah, but me and I, I'm gray. Between you and me, we got the same. Grey hair. Yeah, slightly average. Yeah, but me and I'm great. We've got between you and me We got great hair. We got the slight beer Billy and a beer Those ones either we have a leather jacket all the time I'm very wanted some I've definitely seen both of you in sunglasses and 10 gallon hats But that was just our trip to the wild Wild West More of an eight-girling guy.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Yeah, it's so big. The man approached the teller and hands over a note. The note says, this is a bank robbery. Give me your money, no marked bills or dipax. The stunned teller complied, handing over a stack of cash from her drawer. The man nodded, sucked the money in a satchel, and calmly walked out of the bank.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I love the nod, like, thank you, ma'am. Yeah, tips the hat. The man who would be referred to as Cowboy Bob. Cowboy's so great. Bob feels like it takes away a little bit. What's the better cowboy name? Cowboy Karl. Cowboy Karl.
Starting point is 00:08:40 But they say Cowboy Karl. Karl. Cowboy Karl. Cowboy Karl. That cowboy crack. But they say cowboy car Car, cowboy car Car, cowboy car Cowboy car Cowboy Craig Cowboy Craig That's good They say names different over there
Starting point is 00:08:55 But cowboy Craig, that sounds better than cowboy Craig Yeah, that's true Do they call him Daniel Craig? Oh, maybe I've never heard that, yeah, I don't know Sorry him Daniel Craig? Oh, maybe. I've never heard that. I don't know. Starting Daniel Craig. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:10 So funny. I love it so much. It's good. Everything about America makes me so happy. I love how they do things slightly differently. Which I know where really the ones do anything slightly differently. Because they're the big one. Oh, that's not fair. You know.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Texas is pretty big. We're all doing stuff differently. Yeah, sure, that's a good point. There's places smaller than us. Yeah. And I don't know, many. We're pretty big land mass ones. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:09:38 The population wise. Yeah. Anyway, it's cowboy Bob, sorry. Cowboy Bob is a little bit. Not a cow. No crab. He's taking the cat. Do you have a weapon? Or do you just say this is a robbery?
Starting point is 00:09:46 No weapon. I think there's a weapon implied. There in Texas. He's a very big hat. Yeah, okay. But implied weapon. So no mask? No.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Wow, and it's a real beard. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Brazen. But they called him cowboy Bob after a character from the comic strip Dennis the Menace. There was a cowboy Bob character, so that's where that came from. You know how he goes, no Mark Bills.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Yeah. And no, no die. No die. And they're like, okay, what do you know? How do you know if you'd have to check every note to see that there's no Mark Bills? Or the die packs are probably a little more obvious. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:22 But yeah, who knows? But I like that. And I like that he didn't speak. So he must have a real distinct voice. He'll hear a little. Am Crabo Abroib. I've been like, oh, that's cowboy Bob. I guess his name anyway, so it really ended up saving himself. Did I see a reason he didn't speak right?
Starting point is 00:10:45 Ooh, I think you're overthinking things early. That's not like me. I've gotten about four dot points in and we're already, you know, we're throwing around a lot of theories. How many dot points we're talking? It's whole report. Oh fuck, so... Seven, eight.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Sorry, many dot points. I break it up a lot, Edward. I'll let you finish this up. I'll get to a few more dot points before I say something stupid again. The man who would be referred to as Cowboy Bob robbed four more banks over the next year. Okay. From an article in allthitsinteresting.com
Starting point is 00:11:19 According to the teller's testimonies, Cowboy Bob was always calm, always unarmed, always polite, and always silent. He was thorough in his heist, steering clear of the security cameras and checking each bill for marks or dipax. So there you go. Was he a mime?
Starting point is 00:11:33 Oh, it's a mimeing, a gun. Wow. Because that isn't implied weapon. It's also possible that he can't talk, obviously. Maybe. Or doesn't speak English. Yes, or has a very thick accent that would give him a way. Yeah, like, for example, I'll do an accent
Starting point is 00:11:51 you're sitting in guess first from. Give me his money. Give it to me. Give it to me. And you're way good. So I'm going to need a few more words. Sorry, I'm not getting it How much money do you want? Give me all the money
Starting point is 00:12:20 Okay, what about a dipac do you want a dipac not dipac? Okay, what about a dipac do you want a dipac not die bags? Thank you Well, I think we should call that guy cowboy boy now was that your Austrian We'll find out because it's you'll find it you'll find out late Got it Thank you. That was really fun. He would check for DiePacks.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Check. Which for people who don't know, it's got my synchists. They're the little die-filled devices that set off by radio, essentially. They create a lot of mess which essentially means the money is useless and the robber can't use it and also usually sort of you know gives them away. Because they're walking around like a smurf. Yeah. Trying to spend smurf money. Hello. Here's $7.00. Have they put smurf berries, the seven smurf dollars, please. He exited the bank, getting into his 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Oh, beautiful. And drive away calmly, as to not attract further attention. It seemed to the police that Cowboy Bob had considered every small detail very carefully and planned out the robberies meticulously. His heart and glasses meant security cameras couldn't get a good look at his face. Plus he seemed to purposefully avoid looking at the cameras or tilting his head that way anyway. Oh you never you never I bought the camera cut this is a real pro. He's not taking off his son his square. He's not holding up his blood there.
Starting point is 00:14:05 What's that? What's that? What is that? Thank you. But I personally, I can't resist the camera. You love it. I see a camera on it as a thing. Hey, the camera camera is this due.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I can never do it silently either. I've got to do a monowon. Okay, you must. But that's you. I hand over my note. Now is the winter of our discontent. What? Put the money in the bag.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Did you believe that? Do you want me to do that again? He always wore gloves, so he left no fingerprints. He left the bank's calmly, like I just said before. So, meaning that no one could really give police further evidence of what he looked like because it was just a person leaving the bank, you weren't paying attention to it. So you see somebody running out of a bank
Starting point is 00:14:51 with money flying off behind them, and a gun, that's sus. That's another reason why you're doing notes so people aren't overhearing you. Yeah, maybe, yeah. And then there's a discussion as well, probably you'd be like, fuck an hour. Yeah. Just read the note. Don't make me tap the note.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah, and he's got everything in the note. It's like, no, die, no, mark bills, all the money. There's like, what questions do you have? But what if there were the questions? If you're, hang on, got to write out a note. Yeah, yeah, I think, oh, yeah, silly. How's your day? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:20 What denominations any preference? Do you want me to open the safe and get what's in there as well? Oh, I've said too much, you know. I'm a trainee, I'll have to get the manager, is that okay? Yeah, I actually don't have access codes to even open this till. I don't work here. You've walked up to a random person in the bank.
Starting point is 00:15:36 The tellers over there. You didn't mention in the note if I could press this secret security button, not can I? Can I? I just wanted to double check if that's okay with you, I didn't want to rough when he's f button. Yeah, can I? Can I? I just wanted to double check if that's okay with you. I didn't want to ruffle any feathers.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Oh, yes. He was in and out usually in around 60 seconds. Wow. As quick. Police were baffled and very frustrated. He was making me start to pull my hair out to inform my agent, Steve Powell, to the Texas monthly. Steve Powell comes up a lot.
Starting point is 00:16:02 How could this thin little dried up cowboy be whipping us this bad time this bad time after time? He's a whippin' us! Oh, so he's a thin little. Keeps getting away! Gosh! So that was May 1991 and December 1991, cowboy bob struck again, stealing 1200 bucks from the savings of America, which is also located in Irving. This time and I witnessed was able to write down the license plate number of the Grand Prix, the Pontiac. So he's still driving around the same car. Same car. What's the number plate?
Starting point is 00:16:32 I don't, I don't have it. Car boy Bob. I'm not doxing anybody. See boy. See boy. He's also stealing a smallish amount of money each time. Well, this is in 1991. That's not a, that's, you know, like he's not, um,
Starting point is 00:16:45 was a 1212,000, 1200, 1200. I mean, 200's not. But he's going to like one teller. He's not sort of, it's not, it's a, it's a one man operation. If you've got a heap of people, maybe some people get into the vault and get all the good stuff. You see less overhead. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And he's just like, in and out real quick, just whatever that tell us, go ahead and I'll take it. He sounds like he's living paycheck to paycheck or bank robbery to bank robbery. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:10 So yeah, it's more than 1200 in today's money, but you're right, it's not like life changing money just yet. I saw maybe my favorite ever personalized number plate the other day. Well, and I hate most of them. Yeah, me too. This one was Sharon. Good.
Starting point is 00:17:24 No numbers as letters. How stoked would you, I feel like Sharon. I've got it. Sharon, like too. This one was Sharon. Good. No numbers as letters. How stoke would you? I feel like Sharon. Sharon, like, you wouldn't even try. Sharon feels like a person. Person name Sharon feels like the kind of person who might want to get a personal as a number played as well. So that's like a high demand one. It's not like Dennis or something. I don't think Dennis is out there. There's like a normal Dennis isn't going. I want to get my car named after me. They're the shame to them, man. I wanna have Dennis as a brand.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Drunken Dennis as well. Can you look it up? Yeah, I think you can. One time at a shopping center, I used to work out as a teen. I saw a car that some of the plate was Jesse, but no, fives for S's. They got it.
Starting point is 00:18:02 They got Jesse. I was like, holy shit. When you be sweating the whole time I tell a delivery you go and there must be some mistake. There's no way I must have to get I can't be please one five. Yeah. Or a three. If people aren't squinting it at a number play go hang on what does this mean? Yeah very confusing. I saw once the number play was V. What does this mean? Yeah, very confusing. I saw it once, the number plate was V. Just V.
Starting point is 00:18:26 That was it for Vendetta? Or for 5. Or for 5. Maybe that was their fifth car. It was a badass looking black, you know, expensive looking. That was their fifth car. Yeah. Do you reckon they number them all?
Starting point is 00:18:37 Now I want to egg that car. Could have been one of the members of the band for a car. I don't think I can name one. Most of those boy bands had a famous member. Oh, I think there was one that was more famous than the other. What was his name? I had a crush on Richie from five. Oh, there you go. There you go. Okay. Is there Scott as well? Scott was in there, yes. Bloody hell. Hang on. Let's keep going. We can name them all. They're not household names,
Starting point is 00:19:02 you know, like NSYN sinkhead Justin Timberlake Robbie Williams's band had Robbie Williams take that take that Backstreet boys take that Robbie Williams take backstreet boys at howie and Kevin no who's the one from backstreet boys the bongey Nick Nick Carter Brian's the other one. They're five also had a guy called abs abs. That that's probably who I was thinking, you know, is that not love? Abs love. Oh my god. Oh boy. Anyway guys, I just like we just got the license plate. Oh this is big. Great, what is it? No I don't. Jess doesn't want to dock soon. I've like I've worked hard on this report trying to like build some suspense and like tell an interesting story.
Starting point is 00:19:46 So cowboy boys. With twists and turns. And you guys are like, what's the licence plate? They've got the licence plate. Great, they've got the number of the Grand Prix. This is fantastic. FBI agents are thrilled. They're like, we've freaking got him. Easy. So they tracked down the licence plate, converge on the owner's house,
Starting point is 00:20:02 which wasn't far from the bank, Bidordacious. Robin a bank so close to home. Inside the house, they found a lady sitting in her living room confused as to why police were banging on her door. He stole a lady. He stole a lady. What? She told him she hadn't left the house that day, and she took them outside to see her car,
Starting point is 00:20:18 which was a red Chevrolet. Whoa! It's a wrong kind of car. What has happened here? It was only then that she noticed that her license plates were missing. He's a genius cowboy, Bob. FBI agent summarized that the actual thief had stolen the plates earlier in the day
Starting point is 00:20:32 and put him on his car, throw him off the cent. Oh, that's clever. Very good. But his car sounds distinctive. What's it called again? It's a Pontiac Grand Prix. I don't think it's a... It sounds like it should be distinctive, maybe it's not.
Starting point is 00:20:46 And it was a 1970-something? 1975. I don't think Super Uncommon. I mean, I'm not a car expert if you are and you're listening and you're like, Oh, no, it's a sick car. Oh, it's a great looking car, but I don't know if it was necessarily like really unheard of, you know.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Right. Oh, that's a beauty, okay? You just watch the YouTube video now. That's a beauty. Check out this clip. It's so good. Look at that. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:13 It's just sick. It's probably about that sort of brown color too. Oh my god. That's like a long, low rider type. Also, I've got some bad news for you, Matt. If you're gonna buy that car, there's a number of putty you will not be allowed to put on there. And that is.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Sharon. Dennis. Oh no, Dennis combo. Dennis combo is unavailable in Victoria. I mean, I could just- What do we get to go on? Oh my God. It really doesn't, it feels like Dennis isn't a kind of person
Starting point is 00:21:37 who goes out there putting his name when he's car. I don't know. It's available. Do go on to Van Gogh. We can get to go on. Holy shit. Can we get a company car? Let's get a van
Starting point is 00:21:49 Grand Prix That are a combi van okay my dream car is genuinely a combi van Combin van's a sick let's get a combi van well, let's get the number plate first Can you pitch that Dave or just as babbling on about whatever this story is. Select style. Oh my gosh. So I want the listeners to know that, you know, I put a lot of effort into this one and it's a fun story. I'm so into it. This is our next Patreon bonus episode we'll be us picking our car and number plate combo.
Starting point is 00:22:16 But until then, just please do go on. So yeah, the thief stole in the plates. Another time the plates actually matched the type of car, the 1975. That's clever. Pontiac Grand Prix. So police thought perhaps Cowboy Bob had been a little cocky this time, or perhaps careless.
Starting point is 00:22:31 And if you've gotten to replace his real license plates with fakes before committing one of his rubbery. So again, they're like, we got him. We got him. So let's round the house with SWAT team. The license plate brought police to a Dallas car dealer named Pete Talis, although other sources say he worked at a Ford Autoparts factory Pete Talis from Dallas. Talis was arrested
Starting point is 00:22:51 But police were disappointed to learn that while Talis did technically own a 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix he'd bought it For his mother and sister his mom was unwelzy sister was a primary caregiver gave it to them to use I know they're using it to rob banks. Yeah, ridiculous, but the cops aren't heartless. They're gonna let a sick woman Poses cowboy bulb and rob banks come on What do you think? I'm gonna bucks this time. Whatever. Let her keep it. Yeah, you know hospital wheels and stuff is expensive So so they're like it's expensive So they're like has the car been stolen from Pete's sister?
Starting point is 00:23:26 Or was her car being used by someone else to commit the crimes? Was she in a compilous in some way? So they tracked down Pete's sister Peggy Jo Talis expecting to find that she lived with a boyfriend who police would find to be the bank robber. Surely Peggy Jo must be like the bonny to this guy's clad. She's got to know about it if he's using her card, Rob Banks. She has to know about it.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Behind every great Peggy. Let's get my bottle. Agreed. So upon making a visit to Peggy Joe's house, they realized how wrong they were. Where they expected to find a wild, young woman, there was a middle-aged motherly figure who lived in a modest two bedroom house with her ailing mother. They asked if she had a boyfriend or a husband, she said no. They asked if she'd heard of the recent string of bank robberies,
Starting point is 00:24:08 and also no. They asked if anyone else had access to her car or had borrowed it. Agent Powell asked her, now come on, who's been with you? Where is he? Blankley, Peggy Joe replied, I'm the only one that's in this vehicle. There's nobody else. So this seemed to be another dead end. Standing in front of them was a middle-aged woman who worked part-time to try and support herself
Starting point is 00:24:29 and her sick mother. When profiling works in your favor, oh, it's a woman, middle-aged, she can't be connected. Boyfriend, where's your boyfriend? How did this rubbery? No, well, I guess that's it. That's it then, hasn't heard of it. And challenge this any further.
Starting point is 00:24:42 History was backed up by family members, all of whom insisted that she had no boyfriend and no time for a boyfriend. She's got no boyfriend. Trust me. She's got a boyfriend? Yeah, good one. Nice try.
Starting point is 00:24:53 So they're desperate, so they have a look around her home anyway. And that's when they found in her bedroom closet. Uh-oh, cowboy bob. And he had to have a note, it said, Ruttroll. No, they found it at closet. A mannequin head with a fake beard on it. Men's clothing, a cowboy hat.
Starting point is 00:25:17 No. And a shit ton of cash. No. And again, police questioned her as to where the man was. There has to be a man. Which man fits these clothes? Then Paul noticed something he hadn't before. Flex of grey hair, Diana hair, and a thin light of glue on her upper lip. Only then did it click in his brain.
Starting point is 00:25:39 There was no man. Peggy Jotalus was Cowboy Bob. Why did she still have the glue in her lip? I think she just robbed a bag. Oh, I think that what had recently happened. Oh man, and it was so close to them just going, all right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Well, dead end, that's a lot easier. Well, I guess we'll leave you two with that man. Wow. Yeah. Whoa, Peggy Joe. Peggy Joe Talis. So that's probably the real reason why she didn't use that voice. Yeah, and that would have given away, would have been a little bit.
Starting point is 00:26:10 But she was in disguise, amazing. So let's go back a little bit. It's fine now. It's like in a pretty good fake beard. Because they've been used to it, it looked real when I asked before. Yeah, that's what I was doing. You were convinced yourself. I was trying to get some kind of fuck,
Starting point is 00:26:25 I wanted it to be a reveal. And you're like, well, why are they talking? I must have an interesting voice. I'm like, you fucking shut up. Shut up! My guess is it was probably some sort of middle-aged woman. Doesn't have a boyfriend. I even saw as you figured it out before I'd got to it.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I like, in my head I was begging you. I was like, shut up. I hadn't figured it out. I thought like a few sentences before. You were like, oh. I was, I was, I thought that was another genuine dead end. And you were going to go, right? Anyway, we're going to move on to another suspect. Anyway, they keep badgering these poor middle aged women with old moms.
Starting point is 00:26:54 So we're just like, I'm just sitting in my house. Why are you yelling at me? It's just me. I think it's funny when you, I feel the same when I've got a report that's got a reveal in it. It's like when you're, you know, you've got to be honest. I think it's funny when you, I feel the same when I've got a report that's got a reveal in it. It's like when you're, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:09 you've got a, you're doing a surprise party or something. Yeah. And you're like, they know, they know. They know. They know. They're thinking about something totally different. Don't fuck this up for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And the little details that you're picking up on, because I know the story, I'm like, no, don't mention that, because you're gonna give it away to everybody. No, it's fine. I also, I love now you mentioned that. And then they noticed for the first time, a bit of glue on the lip. I can imagine that in the TV adaptation. Yeah. Camera zooms in like the sheriff just makes eye contact reaches for the gun. She reaches, you know, it's like, yeah, super tense. She reaches for the clag. Does a bunch of like flashback kind of things,
Starting point is 00:27:46 where the police officer can like see her putting on a mustache and it's like, oh, it's all together. So let's go back a little bit. Born in June of 1944, Peggy Joe tell us was the youngest of three children, raised solely by their mother after their father died of cancer when Peggy Joe was four years old. While their siblings were active participants
Starting point is 00:28:04 in high school activities, mainly sport, Peggy Joe dropped out of school in 10th grade. Her childhood friend, Karen Jones, says, she told me there was just too much else to do in life and spend so many days at school. Peggy Joe, preach. Not a man. Every day at school.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Come on, come on. That's this cookie cutter thing, isn't it, school? When all the kids aren't the same? Yeah. Well, how do we think that they can all just go into this classroom and be taught by one person in the same way? It's ridiculous. Do you want to think about it?
Starting point is 00:28:32 Free the kids. Free the kids. I don't think about a lot one time, is in a science class, I didn't understand how to figure something out. So I went to the teacher for help, right? A crazy thought, I know. Because I wanted to understand, it's not how my brain works, I'm a creative.
Starting point is 00:28:52 And I went up and I was like, I just want to, could you just help me? And she just stared at me. She said nothing and just stared at me. Handed your note, it said, hand over the money. Hand over the money. And I was like, what, this is a weird school.
Starting point is 00:29:04 I look around, I'm in a bank. Hahaha. Is that a science level? No. Oh, yeah, I'm lost again. So did you ever get an answer? No, she just stayed at me, sort of in that way of like, you figured out, like, come on, figure it out yourself.
Starting point is 00:29:17 And to a lot, I just kind of looked back at her and she didn't say anything for I just saw it, and I went, oh, okay, I get it now. And I went back to my dinner, I still have no idea. Yeah. Just help me. It's when you become an adult, you do realize that a lot of teachers are really weird units. Some are incredible.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Like, teachers are amazing. And there's like a small percentage of them. There's a couple in every school that are just like. This is a feeling like, that's just a strange person. Or someone going through some stuff, but when you're a teenager, you're not thinking about that. Right. It would be the same in any field, probably.
Starting point is 00:29:46 For sure. But... Not in podcasting, they're all noemies. Oh, all the exact opposite of that. Not at all, we're all real cool. Yeah, people ask me, so I answer questions all the time, and I stare at them. I stare at them. I'm not saying anything.
Starting point is 00:29:58 I was picturing, remember that Tony Abbott video where he's asked a question by Joe Dostin, he just said like, Tony, you're not saying anything. Tony Dostin, I'm saying things. I've, you're not saying anything. Totally not saying anything. I've given you the answer you deserve. I was thinking we should, I might have a Patreon bonus episode one day where I count down the top 10 funniest,
Starting point is 00:30:13 slash weirdest moments in politics. Great. So I'd have that bush, can't get fooled again. Yeah. I don't know what's his draft. I've been sabotaging the onion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been not talking, that one won't work so well on.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Abbot doing a creepy wink. I read it into that was a gross one. Just do a ton of habit. I would say, have it. Abbot and bush. Abbot and bush, yeah. Abbot be bush. What a great comedy combo they would be.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah. Boughton's got a few ones in last couple of years I think. Yeah, I mean Trump is. He played his role. Yeah. Have we had any other funny ones? No, I was a little bit grud trying to be funny fair suck of the source bottle God is there for this suck of the source world. I hate consume sauce
Starting point is 00:30:55 Anyway, so Peggy Joe she's she's out of school She's like, nah there's better things to do. Is this something Karen continues to say? And what was most special about her was that she loved doing things other kids didn't do. She once drove me around looking for stray dogs to adopt and then she took me over to yellow belly drag strip just to watch cars race. Remember this is the 1950s like this free spirited attitude is a little unheard of. Karen told the story of one day Peggy Joe decided to drive to San Francisco to see what life was like there. I looked it up it's about 1700 miles from Grand Prairie, Texas to San Fran, or 2700 Ks.
Starting point is 00:31:30 About 26 hour drive. Whoa. Just gets in the car and takes off. I'm going to go check out San Fran, see what life's like there. It's pretty cool. Can you put that in Aussie terms? That's Melbourne too, like, beyond Brisbane. Probably.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Yeah, probably. Yeah, wow. It's wow big drive And hopefully didn't over a couple of days. Yeah, yeah If you pound up to 26. Yeah, you can't drive bad for your back So we do that over three days you start to lose enthusiasm. Do I really care what it's like over there? Yeah, I don't care what life's like and sense and you start thinking about every hour you're driving out That's an hour you drive Yeah, it's a long time.

So it's a pretty wild and impulsive thing to do. She returned with books of poetry to share with her friend. I laughed and thought of all people. Peggy Joe's been off reading poetry in San Francisco, Karen said. Of all people. Of all people. But that's just who she was.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Who's it, you? That's just who she was, always ready for an adventure. That's so funny of all people, the person who's always ready for an adventure. Huh. Freedom poetry. So weird. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:02 In the same sentence saying, never would have guessed her. Of course it was her. Yeah, I was. She was always up to something interesting and fun and loved the arts. Reading poetry, crazy. In her 20s, Pikachu was living in an apartment in North Dallas and working as a receptionist at a Marriott hotel.
Starting point is 00:34:18 She met Terry Young at work and the two became good friends, hitting the town nearly every night. Okay, now it's Terry Young, Terry Boybob. Terry. No, it's not. No, Terry, it won't be Terry. How good's Terry though? Terry's great, that's great. Terry Young. Terry Young.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Holy shit. Super, yeah. Great name. A lot of this biography info is coming from a great article from the Texas Monthly, which I'll link in the show notes as well. I was written by a writer with probably one of the best names I've ever heard in my life. Are you ready for this? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Skip Holland's worth. Oh my god. That's not a real person. Yeah, Skip Holland's worth from Texas. Skip Holland's worth. Yeah, he writes for the Texas Monthly. Is it is an executive? Now, where do you put that?
Starting point is 00:34:57 Compared to last week, we had a journalist called Parmigiana Olsen. And now I know that was our name for them. What was the actual first name? Parmi. Parana Olsen. And now I know that was our name for them. What was the actual first name? Parmi. Parmi Olsen. Parmijana Olsen. Parmijana Olsen is good. The skin. The skin. Yeah, they're both. I really wish someone would go back to the start and just collate all
Starting point is 00:35:21 the great names with come across. Yeah. Because there's so many, I have to get them all. Too many. Yeah. And we wouldn't know the context for 90% of them. Because they'd be like an art, someone an article or like a passing character. Yeah, we'd need a name. One to do the summary of who the hell we are.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Yeah. I loved this part that Skip wrote in his article. It's a great article. This is from Skip. Peggy Joe always drove her little burgundy feet gunning the engine, racing other cars from stoplight to stoplight. They hit all the great Dallas nightclubs, Soul City, the fog, and the feeling station on Greenville Avenue, ordering cores, playing pool and flirting with men. They went to see the doors and the doobie brothers, and even the rolling stones screaming at the top of their lungs as a young, wrinkle-free Mick Jagger
Starting point is 00:36:05 gyrated madly across the stage. Beautiful words, Skip. You know what? Why are you bringing up Jagger's wrinkle-free-ness? Because it was a long time ago, so he wasn't old. Because everyone's picturing an old Mick Jagger back then. Not funny. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha- That's pretty sick. That's one of the great band names. Absolutely. You heard of the Dooby Brothers?
Starting point is 00:36:26 We got one of them. Skip goes on. Peggy Joe took cherry to a coffee house where amateur poets read out of their notebooks, and they also went to see movies. Peggy Joe's favorite, which she saw over and over, was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, the movie tells the story of the famous bank and train robbing duo who lived movie tells the story of the famous bank and train robbing duo who lived in the last days
Starting point is 00:36:49 of the Old West. To good-natured Robin Hood-like outlaws who never believed that what they were doing was wrong, because they never hurt innocent bystanders, and they always robbed from institutions that took advantage of downtrodden citizens. Although Butch and Sundance knew that they had little chances of evil,
Starting point is 00:37:05 they refused to walk away from the life they loved, and they ended up in South America, still robbing banks, finally dying in a hail of gunfire. Those are favorite movies, and I love that Skip tells you the plot summary. Yeah. Love that. Yeah, I love that's a spoil I haven't seen that.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Okay. But honestly, is that the hottest combo of leading men ever in a film? Oh my god. Holy shit. Yeah, Robert Redford Paul Newman. Oh my god. Am I alright? Yes, you are right.
Starting point is 00:37:33 You are correct. Not the value, but the value. Yeah. No, not the value, but value. There is some value. Not the value, but cash out. Yeah. Chatching.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Chasing. Cherry later recalled that her friend Peggy Joe didn't seem as concerned with things her There is some value, but cash out. Yeah, chachy. Chachy. Cherry later recalled that her friend, Peggy Jo, didn't seem as concerned with things her peers were thinking about. Careers, marriage, kids, security. Peggy Jo wanted enough to pay her bills and keep her roof over her head, and a little leftover for a few drink with friends. She was just sort of like, I'm happy just getting by. Her dream was to save up and one day move to Mexico and live on the beach.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Cherry said she was beautiful and she was ram-bunxious. Oh my God. She always told me that deep down, she was wild at heart. Wild she was. She could get a little feisty at times, one evening she was pulled over by a police officer for speeding and she laughed at him and tore the ticket up in his face. That's pretty sick. I mean, I imagine.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Well, this kind of person is leading a wildlife telling their friends, you know, I imagine. This kind of person is leading a wildlife telling their friends, you know, I'm really wild at heart. Yeah. Yeah. It's like you do crazy shit. Yeah. I'm not deep down at all.
Starting point is 00:38:36 That's very selfish of me. Deep down, something I'm suppressing is, I'm pretty crazy. I'm pretty wild. Someone you wouldn't know about me. Yeah. Yeah. I know you probably have a notice now. Cocked that within a minute of knowing me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Yeah, I go out with you with a sense of fear and dread because I don't know what you're going to do. When we get in the car, I'm holding onto the seat, the roof. I've had rally car like seat harnesses put into your car. You've got a rocket in place. I wear a helmet when we go for a walk along the beach. I know your wild. I'm scared to end this friendship,
Starting point is 00:39:12 because I don't know what you'll do. So I live in fear. Cherry also recalled a time they're out of the restaurant in Fort Worth, and they had a bit of an argument. Cherry left the restaurant to cool off. And in the meantime, Peggy Jo walked outside and saw an unlocked pickup truck with keys in the ignition. Oh my god. She jumped in to cool off. And in the meantime, Peggy Jo walked outside and saw an unlocked pickup truck
Starting point is 00:39:25 with keys in the ignition. Oh my God. She jumped in and took off. Police eventually caught up with her and she was arrested, pled guilty to a felony charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and received a five-year, probated sentence.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Is that different to stealing a car? If I've left the keys in it and it's unlocked, you're saying unauthorized use, use of a motor vehicle? Unauthorized use instead of grand theft or whatever. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's interesting. But also I like that, because this is like Cheri's telling of the story
Starting point is 00:39:54 and she's like, oh, I left and definitely wasn't there. Yeah. I'm like, Cheri, were you there? No one, I mean, where were you, Cheri? You remember me, it was pretty vivid, Cheri. So she had a little bit of a wild streak. It could be a little impulsive in some decisions. But people are complex.
Starting point is 00:40:11 And Peggy Joesnees also recalls, in the Texas monthly article, how warm and nurturing her arm was. She says, when she came over to babysit me and my brothers, she made up funny games for us to play. She cooked us popcorn. I mean, cooking popcorn. I mean, it's really cool. Just popcorn.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Dave, when you camp that as one of the meals you can cook? That is, that's cooking. That one's someone telling me that, that making nat chose isn't cooking nat chose. That's cooking. Cooking. I'm putting him in the oven. I'm putting the popcorn on the stove. Where do you draw the line? Is toast cooking? Yes. You cook it.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Okay, uncooked toast. Sure, that's bread. Yeah. Cooked bread? You're looking at toast. That it up. Okay, uncooked toast. Sure, that's bread. Yeah. Cooked bread? You're looking at toast. Okay, bowl of cereal. Putting milk on cereal. Is that cooking?
Starting point is 00:40:51 No heat. Okay, I can get a plate. I can get a bowl. So warm milk? Oh, you get all that milk. Yeah. Like this morning I had porridge for breakfast. Oats on the stove.
Starting point is 00:41:00 I cooked that better. Yeah. Okay, cooked oats. Yeah, okay. Cooked porridge. Yeah, cooked popcorn. It's good to know. I mean, it's not praise okay, cooked oats. Yeah, okay. Cooked porridge, okay. Yeah, cooked popcorn. It's good to know. I mean, it's not praiseworthy for an article, but technically that's cooking, okay.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I'm gonna know. So it's the heat is the key. So it's just a nice recalling nice memories, I guess, so. Yeah, you don't cook a salad, you prepare a salad. Right, so it's combining at least two, no, not even two ingredients. Popcorn is just one ingredient. So it's one ingredient and heat.
Starting point is 00:41:24 If you want a flaveless popcorn, you've got to add butter, you've got to add salt. What if it's like a pasta salad where you've had to cook the pasta first? Oh yeah, it's cooked that pasta. So that's a cooked salad. Cook the pasta, prepare the salad. Oh, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Combine the two. Yeah, right. Wow, busy day for guests. Yes. No, that's a two-pess and job. Anyway, this isn't nice for this. No, that's a two-person joke. Anyway, nice, we're calling. She cooked us popcorn.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Then at the end of the night, she told us ghost stories. She truly had a heart of gold. She scared the shit out of us. Yeah, that's not me. Yeah, the stories were just her life. She got me real hyped up on salt. Peggy Joe tell us his carefree and wildlife hit a few setbacks by the mid-70s. She'd fallen in love with a man who lived near Dallas and was feeling...
Starting point is 00:42:08 Okay, this is gonna be Cowboy Bob. Finally. We made him. Next twist. I was feeling hopeful about a shared future. But Karen Young said a few months later the relationship was over. Peggy Joe had gone to the town with a man named... I killed him.
Starting point is 00:42:23 No! And seen his car in a parking lot. She went over to say hello, only to find a woman behind the wheel. After a quick chat, Piggie Joe discovered this woman was driving her husband's car that day. Piggie Joe had no idea the man she'd fallen in love with was married and she was completely devastated. Oh.
Starting point is 00:42:40 And not long after that heartbreak, she moved into an apartment in Irving to live with her mother, who was battling a degenerative bone disease. She was in a way forced to settle down for a while and put some of her carefree dreams away. She worked at a nearby computer factory and later took an office job for a mobile home construction company. Her closest friends got married and cherry moved away. And although she apparently had plenty of chances to start another relationship, she was pretty keen to keep her distance from men. I don't think she was ever able to get over the pain of the betrayal from the married man, Karen said.
Starting point is 00:43:10 I think she decided to be alone. So this wild young woman with dreams of adventure and freedom had found herself middle-aged and somewhat isolated. Her mother's medical bills were overwhelming and the financial and emotional stress of being a care for her mother was incredibly hard. From Texas Monthly again, I think she was beginning to feel like she could never catch up," said Cherry, who occasionally came down from Oklahoma City to visit. She was just too proud to ask anyone for help.
Starting point is 00:43:35 She liked helping people, she didn't want people to help her. Cherry paused, and there's another thing that was going on with her, she finally said. This is hard to explain, but I think Peg was starting to feel, well, like her life was slipping away. It's the way women get sometimes. Cherry, don't you speak for all of us. Mine slipped away years ago. It's not slipping, it's gone.
Starting point is 00:43:56 You get to a place in your life and you start looking back and you say to yourself that it's not working out the way you hoped. You think everything is slipping away and you feel, I don't know, crazy. You want to scream or something. Cherry pauseed again. I think Peg missed being wild at heart. Skip Holland's worth, beautiful words. Now this article's written pretty sympathetically towards Peggy Joe, it's all about. It focuses a lot on like, oh, she was fun and wild and free and now she has to care for people.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Because this fricking married man, how do you reckon gonna come up in the combo? So she says and oh, oh, oh, oh I'm sorry to bother you. I thought this was my friend's car I must have got the wrong car and she might have said it's my husband's car. Oh That's good. Oh how nice. Oh, yeah, husband's car. Oh, that's good. Oh, how nice. Oh, yeah, husband's car. Jerry, this is Jerry's car. Ah, how do you explain who you are? Well, I'm a friend of Jerry's. I'm Suss. Men can't have women friends. No, no, we are in a movie of Jerry's. Red is poetry. Jerry doesn't draw poetry. No, no, no, love letters. Oh no. I said too much. Like she's protecting him from something for some reason. Yeah. Maybe protecting the wife. The wife. The wife. So yeah, it's quite
Starting point is 00:45:14 sympathetic towards Peggy Joe. You can see some of the motivation behind why she did what she did, financial stress, feeling like there's no escape from it, also just feeling like you've lost a part of yourself that used to be so important. And then loving the movie about a couple of bank robbers. Yeah. Yeah. Being inspired by film. Uh, guilty. We're all being guilty. Yeah. Being inspired by film. Okay. That's why I took up modeling because there's a lander. Yeah. You're so good at it. Working out working out for you. Yeah, right. And he can turn left. After the FBI's Steve Powell interviewed bank employees and watched the surveillance tapes, he had no doubt he was dealing with a professional bank robber. Texas Monthly again.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Peggy Joe did not commit any of the amateur mistakes that many first-time bank robbers make. She kept her head down so security cameras could not get a good shot of her face. She didn't fidget as the teller read her note. During those long seconds that ticked away as the tellers pulled the money out of her drawer, she remained absolutely silent, saying nothing. Then came that long walk out of the bank. When she had to be wandering her for security guard, she had not seen was coming up behind her, a gun in his hand. But she did not break into a run, nor did she squeal away in her car, running red lights, and drawing more attention to herself. So she just kind of very calmly left the bank on the car,
Starting point is 00:46:28 drive away. That's so bad, that is real bad. It is pretty bad, AS. You can just quietly walk away. But also just the fact that she's wearing a fake beard. Yeah. And no one ever went, well, that's someone wearing a fake beard,
Starting point is 00:46:40 possibly a woman, you know? Like, you know, another teller's ever said. She must have done a very good job with her costumes. Yeah. Managing to evade police, Peggy Joe struck a few more times. In January 92, she hit Texas Heritage Bank in Garland for approximately $3,000. It's a bit better money.
Starting point is 00:46:57 In May, she got a 5,300 from Nation's Bank in the adjoining suburb of Mesquite. Now we're talking. And it's September, Cowboy Bob robbed first Robrol to bank in Mesquite of 1700 bucks. Police arrived quickly, followed 10 minutes by FBI, and they tracked the license plate to a Mesquite resident who predictably went outside to his driveway
Starting point is 00:47:18 to find his license plate missing. So good. So they get there pretty quickly after the bank's been hit. FBI closed behind. I really hope that she didn't get done. The crime wasn't theft of money, but it was unlawfully borrowing money. Yeah, unlawful use of money. While agents were conducting their investigations at first Revolta Bank,
Starting point is 00:47:40 a call came in that Mosquites first interstate bank. Another bank, only about a mile away, had just been robbed by a man and a bank, a call came in that Mesquite's first interstate bank. Another bank, only about a mile away, had just been robbed by a man and a beard, a cowboy hat, a leather coat, and gloves. And this time, $13,700 has been taken. Wow. It's a big time. Cowboy Bob is out of the get shouted pal. Jumping in his car and racing towards first interstate. Son of a bitch, she said apparently. Son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:48:04 It has that big vibe. I'll get you. I'll get you. Got them Son of a bitch, she said apparently. Son of a bitch. It has that big vibe. So I'll get you, go up. I'm son of a bitch. Yeah. Robbed one bank. Robbed another bank a mile down the road. That's the, back to back. The other thing is like over like six months or whatever this is,
Starting point is 00:48:18 you think that they'd start, I suppose it's Texas, you're right. Start to look out for someone with a beard, a long way to go. A cowboy hat, I just realized that yes, that's probably less. Oh no, Texas Ranger Walker has been taken in. So that kind of brings us back to the point of the story where we left off with Agent Powell realizing that Peggy Joe Tels was the bank robber he had been chasing. He read Peggy Joe, her rights and drove it to the downtown FBI office, where other agents were waiting. Gentlemen, Paul said,
Starting point is 00:48:46 cowboy Bob is actually cowboy Babette. Oh, God, was he workshopping that in the past? No, no. I had a whole drive to figure something out. She's in the back. He's like, what are you reckonin' of I say this? Babette. He must've been so proud of it, hey.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Babette. Ah, ah, standing up, standing up. Sorry, I'm sorry, please. Cowboy Babs. Cowboy Babs. It's still shit, isn't it? Still bad up, please. Cowboy babs. Cowboy babs. It's still shit, isn't it? Still bad, but it's better than babbit. Cowgirl, Bob?
Starting point is 00:49:10 Yeah, that'd be better. That's better. It would be clear if you were a cowboy, a cowboy, a bad bad. It would be clear if you were a cowboy, a bad bad bad. I feel like everyone would be like, yeah, what? Yeah, the rim goes silent.
Starting point is 00:49:21 It's confusing. And then, and then, Peggy Joe's like, I told you it wouldn't work. Yeah, fuck. Honestly, let's go out I told you it wouldn't work. Yeah. Fuck. Honestly, let's go out and come back in, try one last suggestion. Let's remember, this is a guy who took a few extra beats
Starting point is 00:49:31 to realize that the clothing and hat and fake beard didn't belong to a man. Which, in a sense, is kind of understandable because it's estimated that women commit less than 5% of bank robberies that take place in the US. This article was written in 2005. We won't have equality until 50%. But this was written in 2005 and there was like 7,600 bank robberies that year.
Starting point is 00:49:55 And so it's less than 5%. We're never going to run out of reports on my God. Yeah, no. And only a few of those women who rob more than a bank or two before they quit or get caught. So for it to be this long streak over a year, statistically, it's understandable why they assumed it had to be a man, but still when in her closet is a fake beard and the hat, you know, like... You've tracked down already the novel playing. Yeah. Yeah. I love the idea that he still walks into custody.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Guys, turns out Cowboy Bob is married. The Cowboy Bobette. We're still on the hunt. Still can't get the guy. She's been pretty tight-lipped about where Hubby is. She just won't, we're gonna crack it. So she's arrested, and although she remained pretty tight-lipped about everything that had happened,
Starting point is 00:50:43 she eventually pleaded guilty to the robberies. A few things worked in her favor when it came to sentencing. The fact that she'd never used a weapon of any kind during the robberies meant her sentence wasn't gonna be as long. Plus, she was white, and the defense really leaned into the, ooh, look like she just went a bit crazy. Oh. Really leaned into that.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Middle-aged, soft-sp soft spoken pretty white lady. They went, I think she just sort of snapped. Yeah. You went a bit nuts. She's sorry though. That is less illegal. She's sorry. She went, oh, she went a bit loopy.
Starting point is 00:51:15 She's had a little, you know, she had a moment. Who amongst us hasn't had a moat? Probably menopause. You know, they probably, they really lent into it, which is real fun. So she was sentenced to 33 months in federal prisons, which is under three years, which she served. And unlike everyone, she got to keep the cash. So that's waiting for when she gets out, which is great. I'm ecumenating interest. Yeah. Unlike everyone else who goes to prison,
Starting point is 00:51:38 Piggy Joe actually hated being locked up. Yeah, she liked it. Well, she is wild at heart. Exactly. She can't. How can you cage this wild bird? This wild bird. Bird. Bird. No, no, no. When. Bird.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Bird. That's your character again. Rollin' her bank. Put the bird into cage. When family visited she refused to talk about the robberies, other than to say it would never happen again. I'm going to learn my lesson. So she's released from prison, it's like the mid-90s by this time.
Starting point is 00:52:12 She and her mother moved to a new area away from the people who know she was a bank robber. So she got a job as a cashier at a marina at Lake Ray Hubbard outside of Dallas. And life seemed to settle. And Peggy Joe earned a new reputation around town, one very different to her bank robbing days. She was one of our best employees, said Susie Leslie, who was then the manager at the marina. Not once did the money and the cash register come up short on her shift. And what I loved about Peggy Joe was that she checked on the lower income customers. She was constantly pulling out her own money to help some of the families
Starting point is 00:52:43 pay for bait. And I know she used to give some money to a man out here who had been in prison and was still down on his luck. One day I asked her why she did that and she said, well, we've all got a past, you know. So she kind of, it's like she learned to lesson and she was like, I'm going to help out other people. That's lovely, but why is the paper interviewing this Marina owner? Yeah, fantastic. She lived a pretty quiet, somewhat isolated life. She'd lost touch with her old friends, Karen and Cherry. She spent all of her time outside of work looking after her aging mother. In December 2002, her mother Helen died peacefully
Starting point is 00:53:16 in her sleep at the age of 83. Susie said she was relieved her mother was no longer in pain. Yet you could tell she was still heartbroken. She couldn't talk about Helen without tears coming to her eyes. Yeah, like fair enough. At Helen's funeral, Peggy Joe and her brother Pete reconciled. They hadn't really been on the best terms for quite some time before. This sounds like a cowboy bob. You're still looking boring. Well, that's obviously not the best.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Can't be Peggy Joe. She's taken the fall for somebody else. She later went to the annual Christmas dinner that Pete and his wife put on for the talus family. She was friendly to all of us and she loved on the kids and when I asked her what she was going to do now, she said she had some plans, Pete said, but she never told me what they were. So you didn't ask follow-up questions, rude, bad conversationalist. A couple of years moved by and Peggy Joe was now 60 years old. She bought an RV in 2004 and told Susie it was time for her to move on.
Starting point is 00:54:08 She said she was going to put some money together and head down to Padre Island or to Mexico and live on the beach like she'd always wanted to. That was her dream. Yeah, she's not going to love me. Stoked. Okay, live on the beach. She told me I ought to come along while I had the chance before life ran out of us. I'll never forget her saying that before life ran out on us. It's a bit full on. Peggy Joe sold her stuff,
Starting point is 00:54:29 furniture, her car, gave her potted plants to a neighbour and she drove off. She didn't go too far initially. For a few weeks, she stated a public park near Lake Rehubbit, spending part of the day fishing or walking along the shore. Hanees Michelle would occasionally visit. She and Peggy Joe would sit on folding chairs next to the RV. Peggy would drink Pepsi out of a coffee cup and smoke menthol cigarettes. I want to come by. No Michelle says she'd watch the sunset
Starting point is 00:54:56 and then she'd go inside the RV and pull out a skillet and cook up some fajita meat with chopped onions. You know it wouldn't have been the life I would have chosen for myself but I couldn't help but admire doing her own thing and doing it her way. That sounds awesome, amazing. She loved being completely free. Pretty good. Skip Holland's worth.
Starting point is 00:55:14 In the late summer of 2004, Peggy Jo left a telephone message for Carla Dunlap, a friend from the Mariner. When Carla had developed breast cancer the previous year, Peggy Jo would check on her nearly every day and had bought her a cap to wear when her hair began to fall out from chemotherapy. On the message she asked how I was doing and she said she was about to hit the road, Carla said. And then she said, no matter what happens to me, always remember that I love you. Concerned, Carla's husband John drove out to the park to see if he could find her
Starting point is 00:55:41 and perhaps give her some money, but she was already gone. It's not entirely clear where she went over the next few months. People said they'd seen her driving the RV through many East Texas towns, and some would say they'd seen her in Tyler in October 2004, right about the time that an odd bank robbery occurred. At the small, guarantee bank on the southern edge of the city. It's funny coincidence. According to the tellers, the robber was an older man with a round stomach and a scraggly mustache. He wore a dark, floppy hat, baggy clothes, and gloves. He placed a green canvas bag on the counter and said, all your money, no bait bills, no blow-up
Starting point is 00:56:21 money. Then, after receiving a stack of cash, he walked out of the bank and down a street. No one got a glimpse of his getaway vehicle. One of the tellers did tell the FBI agents who were struck by the softness of the robber's voice. It sounded a bit feminine. What's more, the teller said the robber's mustache appeared to have been glued on and his stomach looked more padded than real. A lot of great info from this teller. Very observing. He planted paying a lot more attention. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Unfortunately, Steve Powell had retired at this point. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure he would have had a pretty good idea of who they were looking for. The agents who were investigating this robbery, however, brought in an older male suspect to take a lie detector test. After he passed with flying colours, they began investigating other men. Good. Makes sense.
Starting point is 00:57:04 It does make sense. It's got to be a man out there. I think it's wild that she robbed so many banks and no one ever went or what. You know, she's not even it's just an implied threat. Just do it. And I talk about this a little bit at the end as well. I listened to this other podcast about this. And they made a very good point of like bank tellers are trained that any any interval note anything just yeah given the money the customer is always right customers are always right but even that note or just somebody coming in if you can't see a weapon even them saying give me your money yeah if you can't see a weapon, even them saying, give me your money. If you don't, the implication is violence of some kind.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Yeah, that's right. So, it's pretty scary. It's pretty scary. Totally, it's never worth it. It's never worth it. But a funny response would be, or what? Yeah, or what? And in this case, maybe it would pay off, I guess, but yeah, is it worth the risk?
Starting point is 00:58:03 No, I don't know. I don't think it is just a just while that no one ever did. Yeah. Everyone's got a bit of hero in them. You don't. I don't. I got zero hero in me.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Zero hero. Oh my god. Roll over. Take what you want. Here's the case. Peggy Joe's own family certainly had no suspicions that she'd returned to her secret life. Periodically, throughout the fall of 2004 in the early months of 2005, she'd call them
Starting point is 00:58:28 from payphones, telling them she was doing fine, but never really, you know, going into too much detail. One afternoon, Michelle ran into Peugeot at a Walmart, and Peugeot was picking up supplies. Cartons are cigarettes and paper towels, and for heat-a-meat. She loves that for heat-a-meat, and that's skillet. Yeah. Michelle said she seemed to be in great spirits. What is fajita meat? I know what fajitas are, I think.
Starting point is 00:58:50 So I guess fajita meat's the meat that goes inside of them? Yeah, it'd probably just be like a... It'd be like a minced beef or something. Right. Her brother, Pete drove out to see her and the two spent a couple of hours looking through old family photos. When he said his sister seemed happy,
Starting point is 00:59:04 was planning on packing up and heading off on one of her adventures very soon. Soon means the next day. Was May 5th, 2005, Peggy Joe woke up, made her bed, got dressed. She put on a black long sleeve shirt and a pair of black pants that she kept in a drawer. From a shelf, she grabbed a sandwich bag you filled with makeup and applied some lipstick
Starting point is 00:59:22 and some blush. And then she made her way to the front of the RV where she kept a variety of sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats along with a couple of black wigs and hair extensions. After choosing a large black straw hat that came down over her forehead and a pair of black sunglasses, Peggy Joe slipped into the driver's seat and drove to Tyler, parking her RV, which just so happened to be parked across from a bank. The very bank that had been robbed the previous October. She walked through the front door of the bank, approached the tailor and said, this is a robbery,
Starting point is 00:59:53 I need all of your money, don't set any alarms. The young tailor emptied her drawers into tell us a satchel. This time it was like 11,000. Like American sold drawers, like pants, he shot himself. Into the sexual. Huh? There you go, there's your money. I've put all over it.
Starting point is 01:00:08 You didn't tell me not to? Enjoy. There's 11,200 bucks. Nice. Enough to finally get to Mexico, as Peggy had always dreamed of doing. Okay, one last job. So you know, hasty get away, however, she made one simple mistake. She said, bye, my name's Peggy, bye.
Starting point is 01:00:25 I dropped a business card. She didn't check for a die pack. It exploded as soon as she walked out of the door, covering the money with red ink. A plume of red smoke also began to rise from the satchel, and she headed back across the street, dodging traffic to get to her RV. Drop the bag. Come on, she's using the RV. You're just gonna get away.
Starting point is 01:00:44 I know. The red smoke obviously caught the attention of people Drop the bag. Come on, she's using the RV. You're just gonna get away. I know. The red smoke obviously caught the attention of people on the street who called police immediately. Within minutes, lawns. If you saw red smoke, would you be like a bit of call of cops? Somebody running out of a bank holding a bag that's smoking and covered in red dye?
Starting point is 01:01:00 Yeah, probably would call a cops. But she wasn't running out of the bank and it didn't happen until she was after outside the bank. Yeah, so she's leaving the bank wasn't running out of the bank. It didn't happen until she was after outside the bank Yeah, so she's leaving the bank like she's left the bank. They're set off by you leaving the bank. Right like those So it's not like she's done some other shopping and she's just in a chemist and it's gone No, but you're walking down the street You really gone. Oh that old lady. I think she's just on some money better get the cops out That's literally the point of these dipax. Yeah, but Matt's no snitch. Is that what you're saying? But you are you're saying that you would do that And you don't see it's I think it's weird to be on the stream like oh, yes, I get to dub in this old lady
Starting point is 01:01:36 Also, it's just because it's an old lady. Oh in this case it is and so if she'd murdered someone I shouldn't tell anybody about it because she's an old lady. I think that's what they call a straw man argument there, but I would just watch and I'd be fixated. I love when he said one time I saw some like a full police chase and the guy got away and I was so excited for it. The police were already aware of the situation. Yeah, yeah, but I was so excited for the guy. You're excited for him Because he got away People chasing him
Starting point is 01:02:10 That's fun. That was fun. I'm not saying I would call police, but people did yeah snitches We didn't what town is this Within minutes law enforcement officers were tailing the RV. As it turns out, like FBI agents were nearby too, so it's like bat timing. The RV is struggling up a hill. No, no, it's still smoking. Carls are just like, police cars are just like, following. It looks like a cheach and chong style.
Starting point is 01:02:42 It's police choice. Suddenly she hit the brakes, turned into a quiet middle class neighborhood at the edge of the city. She turned into a street and a couple of police cars, raised past her to box her in. Offices leapt out of their cars surrounding the RV, handguns drawn. The officers had no idea who was in the RV. They didn't know it was her, they didn't know anything, but they like, they assume that there's a bunch of accomplices in there as well. I mean, it's an RV, it can fill a lot of people.
Starting point is 01:03:11 So yeah, they're like, it's probably, they're assuming and they're behaving as if it's full of armed accomplices. Or for heater meat, one of the two. One of the two. It's always one of the two. One of the two. We hope for for heater meat,
Starting point is 01:03:23 but more often than not, it's skies with guns. If my day had a little more for heater made than I'll tell you what. Anyway, so SWOT offices yelled commands at the RV in a standoff lasted several minutes. From skip, Holland's worth again. Finally, Piggy Joe went back to her bedroom where a 757 Magnum loaded with hollow-point bullets was hidden under a pillow. But she didn't touch that gun. Instead, she picked up a toy pistol that she also kept in the bedroom.
Starting point is 01:03:52 She'd bought it apparently to carry with her in case she ever needed to threaten a bank employee in future robberies. She walked to the door and opened it, her hands at her side. The police officers who had surrounded the RV couldn't believe what they were seeing, an unassuming woman in a wide-brimmed hat, a woman who was the age of their grandmothers. Well, can't believe what we're saying, a woman in an hour. Are you being held hostage
Starting point is 01:04:14 by a man? Where is the man woman? Oh no, so she's to them. Is there any difference like legally in a toy gun or a real gun? Like, would the charge be less? If she's used in the bank robbery or something? Yeah. I don't know, because I mean, the bank teller wouldn't, I don't think so. Yeah, right. Because I wouldn't necessarily know.
Starting point is 01:04:38 I guess it depends on the jurisdiction, maybe. Yeah, maybe I don't know. That's a good question. When I'm disappointed, you don't know about Texas law a little more. Yeah. Sorry, I did really put this together quickly. You're fine, this isn't bad.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Not really, I have. Normally, you would pass the local bar. Yeah. So I'm going to talk about any kind of crime. A crime. There's a little old lady has come out and they're like, you know, come out with your hands up or whatever. She says, like, you're going to have to kill me.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Oh, man, you don't have to do this. Replied one of the police officers. You mean to tell me if I come out here with a gun and pointed at you all, you're not going to shoot me. Please don't, please don't do that. You'll have another officer. So they're asking it. They're like, they're pleading with her.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Peggy J. Tell us took a step out of the RV, and as she moved around, it was revealed she was holding a gun. Four officers fired and all four hit her. She died instantly. The SWAT team still assuming that there were other people in the RV shot tear gas canisters into the RV and then stormed the front door. It's already full of red smoke. I don't think the thing's still spiky.
Starting point is 01:05:44 This is a lot of juice in this. And these can't. So obviously this version of events is the official play story. We begged her not to. There's actually a person living on the street got his video camera out. Oh wow. And was filming it. And you can hear them. Right.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Apparently on the tape, they are saying, like, please don't. So they discovered she was alone. And then although she did have a real gun with her in the RV, the one she was holding was a fake. They found a little baggy of pot and her purse, which had like 38 bucks in cash in it and a driver's license. Oh, the devil's leaf. We got a... Devil's leaf. No, it was the devil's lettuce. Devil's lettuce. A FBI agent, Jack Mills Lagle.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Spicy leaf. Are you kidding me? Mills Lagle. Mills Lagle, yes. Incredible job. Jack Mills Lagle, FBI agent. Ran a check on the license and realized that the woman was cowboy-bob. He called Steve Powell at his ranch and left him a message saying he had some bad news about his old nemesis.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Paul called back, say he doesn't so, he said. I wanted to be the one to shoot it. No, he was a bit sad about it, because Joe, so Mill's Lager said, I'm afraid we killed Peggy Joe. So yeah, that's pretty much the story of cowboy Bob. Skip, skip sums it up a little bit. He says, for the FBI, of course, the biggest question was how many other banks had Peggy Joe robbed? Some agents wondered if she had tried a bank robbery
Starting point is 01:07:13 or two back in the 60s when she was a free-wheeling young woman tooling around Dallas in her burgundy fiat. Others wondered if she'd begun her career in the 70s when she had been caught stealing the pickup. It's not an uncommon practice, after all, for a bank robber to avoid detection by using a stolen car as a getaway vehicle and then later abandoning it. Still others wondered if she'd return to robbing banks soon after her release from prison. After studying the evidence from the October 2004 robbery at Guarantee Bank, Mill's
Starting point is 01:07:39 Lagole did conclude that Peggy Joe was the robber, the one in October where it was an old guy with a round belly and a big stuff. But that only led to other questions. Why'd she gone back to that bank? Was she imitating her hero's butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid who had once robbed the same train twice? And why didn't she dress as a man for the second guarantee, Robbery? Why also did she decide to speak to the teller instead of handing the teller a note? Was she hoping that FBI agents would study the bank's surveillance tapes and realize she had returned? Some people kind of see her end as a bit of a one last hurrah. Perhaps she was a little lost. Like one of her friends said, feeling like life is sort of slipped her by. And it's tough as well
Starting point is 01:08:18 because the article that skipped Holland's worth wrote in 2005, which was like, you know, not long after this had happened. It's one of the best and most comprehensive sources on the story. There isn't a whole heap of information out there, but Skip's done this really big article back then. But it's very sympathetic and it makes you root for Peggy Joe a lot. Yeah, I was definitely rooting for it. For sure. But another podcast that I listened to and I was mentioning this before, it's true crime
Starting point is 01:08:42 campfire. They kind of talk about, like, the toy gun was purchased basically to force a cop to shoot her. Like it was, it was for this. Yeah. That sort of sound. Yeah. And they kind of talk about that act and how manipulating someone into shooting you is a really
Starting point is 01:08:58 cruel thing to do because to sort of threaten, shoot me or I'll shoot you and then aim what looks like a gun is a pretty cruel thing to do. But even that's sort of what they... It sounds like she even put it in pretty straight. She's like, you'll have to shoot me. Yeah, I know. And they also talk about the fact that we often see these kinds of crimes as victimless. And while no one lost their lives or was hurt in her robberies, the tellers she robbed were mostly really young. A lot of them were like fresh out of high school, and just because she didn't show them a gun didn't mean she didn't have one, or there wasn't a threat of violence, or like a threat to their lives. Yeah, so the probable odds are some of them might not had any effects, but you'd imagine some had PTSD or something. For sure. And even talking
Starting point is 01:09:41 about like a couple of the young police officers needed a lot of counseling and stuff after it too You know, yeah, it's it's it's very complex. I just think it's it's worth noting that sort of stuff rather than just looking at it from Skips article, which is very sympathetic He ends on an on a quote from her childhood friend cherry, which I think is So funny, especially after just discussing those other factors. This is Cherry saying, I think about her walking out of that bank, 60 years old, that bag full of money, and I have to say that she went out doing what she loved. We'll never understand it, but she was doing exactly what she loved.
Starting point is 01:10:17 I wish I could write her a note and say, good for you, my sweet peg, good for you. Oh, it's kind of nice, I guess. It's a nice, it's a nice, I guess. It's a nice choice. I think that's a sad awful ending. Don't do what she loved. Robin Banks. Robin Banks, what she went down, but which Cassidy style, right? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Her favorite movie. So it seems very much like, I mean, I think maybe to some people initially kind of going like, why wasn't she dressed up? Why'd she just go as herself? I think that was sort of the plan all along. And the fact that she didn't check for the... She was always really diligent with checking for dye bombs and stuff. I think the way her story and her life ended was how she wanted it to end.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Or that was sort of the plan of that day. Yeah, there were like, did she not change the number plates that day? She was in the RV. Yeah, yeah. All that sort of stuff So yeah, that is the pretty wild story of cowboy Bob Cowboy Bob and they never got him Yeah, because the TV Joe was there and the Lincoln she never told him so yeah, that's amazing because she would she She never spoke right till the end. Yeah. Never gave away the identity.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Never gave it up. And he must have been close by. Yeah. Because it was always like where she was. Yeah. He got out of the RV somehow. I didn't notice. Maybe he's hiding on the toilet.
Starting point is 01:11:38 This is to check the jar. And he never checked the jar. Well, you can't. You got to have a limit. Yeah. He's a people after that problem. They probably knocked. Yeah. Didn't hear anything. Well, I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Oh good. So there we go. Thank you to Lise for suggesting that topic. Yeah. Love hearing a story.
Starting point is 01:11:58 I've never heard anything about. Yeah. I wonder how local is this. I'm pretty sure there's Lafayva is a Texan. Yeah, well, that could be why. Oh, great. Well, anyone can suggest a topic at any time via our website, dogoonpot.com. And if you reckon you've got a story that is more maybe local to your area, that we in Melbourne, Australia may not have heard of, and it's cool, exciting,
Starting point is 01:12:19 or interesting for some reason, send us in. I've had that one kind of, like, I made a little note of it, and I must have seen it in the hat at one point. I made a note of it of like, maybe that'd be a good bonus episode, or maybe I could, yeah, maybe be a future topic. And I think Liz kind of sold it to me
Starting point is 01:12:38 with it's a great bank robbing story with a lot of heart, a crazy surprise twist, and a 10 gallon hat. And I was like, I'm listening. Yeah. I think that's a great pitch, which really does help when we're going through the thousands of suggestions. That's right.
Starting point is 01:12:49 When I put them up to the vote, I'll put that in next to the topic as well. So it also, it's sort of pitching it to the vote. Yeah, which is great. We must have done what better, doesn't Bank robbery stories. And I think the math to works out that that is maybe the first lady bank robbery. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, other that that is maybe the first lady bank robbery. I think so. Yeah, other than like Bonnie and Clyde, do they rob banks and stuff to it?
Starting point is 01:13:09 They did, they did, actually, you're right. But yeah, yeah, and statistically it's a very small number, especially on this scale. So you know, good on over having that title. You know, proving what women can do. Well, you know, being a cumpler to Bob. That's right. Well, now it's time for everyone's favourite section of the show where we get to thank some of our fantastic Patreon supporters.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Without these people, this show doesn't exist. They keep it going. They keep the lights on and the microphones on. That's right. Which I almost forgot to do. But I hit on. Yes. And if you want to get involved, you can go to patreon.com-sash2go-on-pod.
Starting point is 01:13:55 There's a bunch of different levels, a bunch of different rewards depending on the level you go to. And yeah, there's bonus episodes, there's, which I think if you sign up to that level, there's already 150 episodes there. Ready to go. It was over 150 hours of bonus content. But, unlike in seconds. You can also get involved in our Facebook group, which is what a lot of people describe
Starting point is 01:14:21 as one of the nicest corners of the internet. Not me though, mercilessly bullied in there Yeah We should have called the group fuck you That was a mistake But you know, I'm sorry 20 Really really set the tone jazz is just joking of course she is the bully I do not cross her don't cross me. I'll kill you. I think we know on how to say we haven't seen your nasty side
Starting point is 01:14:43 There's a bunch of different things you can also vote on topics and all sorts of other things. But one of the levels, the Sydney Shahnberg level, if you sign up there or above, you get to give us a factor quote or a question, I'll read out for those every week. And I don't read them until I read them out. Just in case I fumble on anything, that's why, okay? Okay. Judgemental much much the first one comes from Again, yeah forgotten oh my goodness and The way we get into this one So I don't think it has a little jingle. Go somewhere this that's quite a question
Starting point is 01:15:21 He always remembers the ding she always remembers the sing the she always remembers the sing. The vibrato on that one. I don't always remember to do that bit though, because I think I forgot it a few weeks ago. No one mentioned it though. No one noticed. That hurts. Does anyone listen to this bit? It's everyone's favorite bit, Dave. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:15:38 Alright, so the first one this week comes from David, a place to hang your cape, Malofsky. And David has given himself the title, and everyone gets to give themselves a title of Fast Chairman of Sinathesia. And David has offered a fact, which is, I thought I would give some facts about colours. And brackets, Fulness TBD. I don't know what that means. He continues, I have Sinathesia, which is a condition where your senses cross. For instance, some people taste sounds or hear sense.
Starting point is 01:16:11 I interpret all my senses in colors. I hear music in color, see sense in color, see things that I touch, and read letters and numbers in color. Gosh, that sounds so cool. I mean, I don't think this is the same thing at all, but I used to, I think I still do associate letters and numbers with colors, but he says, for instance, MS is red. Yellow, that's interesting.
Starting point is 01:16:35 MS for me is green yellow. JP is brown pink and DW is green silver. Holy shit, that's a good color. You got a real slither and one there, Dave, sucked in. I got brown pink. Brown pink is awesome, that's ice cream color. Ooh, you got a real slither one there Dave, sucked in. I got brown pink. Brown pink is awesome, that's ice cream. Oh yeah! Is there enough for each letter?
Starting point is 01:16:49 Well the alphabet like how specific are you going with shade and tone for? Oh there's a, I mean you use silver. I think you could come up with 26 colors. Turquoise. Wow. Sage. Light blue, dark blue, serice.
Starting point is 01:17:01 For example. But yeah that does sound sick. I mean, I don't, it potentially isn't, I'm not sure. But it sounds cool. Sounds like that Rolling Stone song, pain-a-blank. No. What is it? I see colors everywhere.
Starting point is 01:17:16 She's got hair. I see colors. Roughly two percent of the population is believed to have synacesia. For reference around 8% of men are color blind. This means between around 5% of the population is believed to have synacesia. For reference around 8% of men are colorblind. This means between around 5% of the population experiences colors differently to the way that you do or if you're in the minority like me, 99% do. In addition, because colors are names for various frequencies of light, which in turn is a
Starting point is 01:17:43 selection of frequencies of the electro-magnetic spectrum. X-rays, microwaves, Wi-Fi and purple are all names for the same thing. Shout out to the patrons I met at Dave's London Booksheet show who approved this fact as fact-quadal question worthy. Ah, that's nice. That's a workshop. Yeah, that's right. Went around the bar. That's great. Yeah. Love it. Very interesting. Yeah, I think that's fascinating. I reckon, I'm not sure, because I used to think that I had it
Starting point is 01:18:09 because of that color thing, but then I started to think maybe as a kid, there was a post on my wall that had all the letters and numbers, and there were different colors, and maybe that's why I do, I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, thanks so much for that, David. Next one comes from Daniel Ryan,
Starting point is 01:18:24 okay, Chief Patron of Ignoring Requests for new facts for that, David. Next one comes from Daniel Ryan, a chief patron of ignoring requests for new facts quotes and questions. And Daniel Ryan has offered us a question, which is, I reckon it was Daniel Ryan the guy who started a spreadsheet thing that documented where everything started and different running jokes and stuff. Maybe a red it thing or something. That's a vague memory. What color is that memory? Red.
Starting point is 01:18:53 It. Daniel writes, I never know what to send in, so I never send anything in. My question is, if you could live in any movie idolized era, which would you choose? IA, Pride and Prejudice type Victorian, roaring 20s, etc. And as I always suggest, if you've got a question, please give us an answer. Yeah, answer your own question. And Daniel, does that hear saying, for me, I'm currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2. I call it Cowboys. I had Ben Russell say that one so I'd say it every time I come like oh yeah I call it playing Cowboys but and it's an old West game so I guess
Starting point is 01:19:35 that will be my choice for now. I reckon I know Dave's it's gonna be Plaro. Definitely. What's that? What's that architecture? I love it. I love Architecture. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. Is that like 20s to 40s kind of? Yeah, maybe a little bit early too.
Starting point is 01:19:51 Yeah, right. And, um, yeah, I think that would be my pick. Gonna have to say 9 in 20s, because we're in the 20s. Holy shit. Holy shit. We're doing it. That makes you think, doesn't it? Yes. Ha ha ha ha. We're doing it. That makes you think, doesn't it? Yes
Starting point is 01:20:11 Can't turn it off the brand's ticking now. How about you Bob? Do you have a? Jettens oh Future which is I think now in the slight past yeah, but I want the version of it. Yeah Okay, yeah, like hoverboards and stuff and and little Spacepsy and space ships. Yeah. I'm thinking of something else. TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO movie where they go back to when that rider... Hemingway, Hemingway. That guy, the guy with the pen and the... Yeah, and it was like, it was, I think the whole message of that was, you're always
Starting point is 01:20:59 gonna feel nostalgic for another time. You go back to that time, you're like, that's the ideal time. He goes back there and there's someone there who's idolizing it a different time, nostalgicly. But yeah, I was like, both of those times, I'm like, they both look sick. Oh, yeah, I think I like that. Missing the point entirely, probably. It also took me a while to realize that they'd even go on back a second time. I like that both olden days. Yeah, they're both the past.
Starting point is 01:21:25 Yeah, and like he says, it's the idolized movie version because I'm like, I'm always like, I don't hate any time where it's smoking indoors everywhere. And the medicine is leeches and stuff, you know? Yeah. Also, it would depend on what part of society you're in. Like in kind of pictures. Like, there, well, a lot of the people around them
Starting point is 01:21:44 are quite wealthy. Which is, it's a regency era, by the way, it's not Victorian. Just in case I'm sure there. Well, a lot of the people around them are quite wealthy, which is it's a regency era by the way, it's not Victorian. Just in case I'm sure there's people at home be screaming at their iPods over that. But if you're... If they are, that is going to be one of the worst screaming or iPod things ever. Let me know if you were actually prudent,
Starting point is 01:21:57 but they're a subactually... I'm not a good to go. Which I love. I think the worst is screaming at the high pot the better. Yeah, I love it too. But yeah, like if you're in any of these eras growing up in extreme poverty or the comfort, that would really affect your lens. Yes. Wouldn't it?
Starting point is 01:22:17 Yeah. For more people probably now is the idealist time to have lived, it's an ever. I mean, it's still not fair. Not sure about that. Isn't it? Yeah, right, I guess for the most people I'd say. I'd like to take the amount of money I have now. Oh yeah. And then go back to my parents for my age.
Starting point is 01:22:34 Just crush. And just buy like three houses on one day. Just like, pow pow pow. That one. I'll buy this block, like you're playing Monopoly. Yeah. You're not buying houses, you're buying streets. It's so good. I'll take Regents Street. Thank you. Thank you. It's not for sale. Mm well, let me write you a check
Starting point is 01:22:50 $30,000 oh Once you see my plastic bank notes, you're going to be pretty impressed Thank you for that question Daniel. I don't don't you think that would be maybe it's not the case I just think because the population of the world's bigger than it's ever been before. Aren't there more people alive now than have ever lived before? Yeah, sure. So you're thinking about mass number rather than percentage. Yeah. Okay. And yeah, but I'm I mean it, I haven't no fucking idea what I'm talking about. Of course. Then why do you keep talking? I don't know. Every sentence I finish from, I regret. Just keep, just move on then. Well, the problem is people have still heard it.
Starting point is 01:23:29 And they're still, Yeah, but I'm enduring this now. Well, they're enduring this now too. And I apologize. I can't apologize anymore sincerely. I wish you would. I can't really apologize. That actually comes from Aiden.
Starting point is 01:23:44 Oh no, this is a name. I would say Cogland, but I think he's correcting me a few times. Because I think he's from Ireland or something and it's Cogland maybe, but in Australia you'd pronounce this Cogland, but I'm maybe the Jesus. Let's say Aiden Cogland, Aiden Cogland and I apologize. Aiden's title is The Smash Boy to Your Orange Rikki. Oh, that's nice. We found it after the Tetris episode that those names, that was a hoax,
Starting point is 01:24:14 that even Jeopardy fell for. The TV show. Yeah. But yeah, I think it's so good that I reckon and a few people suggested this. Let's just make it the reality. Yeah. We can. Or a trick, yeah, so good.
Starting point is 01:24:29 Dave, you missed it, but there was this icing that went around online where they named all the blocks on Tetris. You've caught up now. All right, Aiden. Yes. That had a few people scream at their iPods. Aiden is offering a suggestion, fantastic, writing years ago for some reason that I don't fully understand.
Starting point is 01:24:48 I wrote lyrics to the Tetris music. Oh so for someone DMed me a cover song, it was like a metal version of this song. And I was a day like I got home from a big day at a pub or something and I listened the first 20 seconds and I replied that's so good What is it and they replied like the next day Low the Tetris theme song. I'm like I just didn't listen I was great You're like wow this is great. You're this fantastic. Why did you send this to me? I love it. What is it?
Starting point is 01:25:26 You're like we looked at. Anyway, so Aiden's written lyrics to the Tetris music. Since then I haven't been able to hear the song without singing them in my head. And unfortunately the same is true for pretty much everyone I've shared them with. With apologies to my fellow listeners, I would like for you to perform them. All right, let's the end for you. So put them in a line and you'll be fine. What?
Starting point is 01:26:09 Did I switch into the umpul umpus on? Like a little bit, you recovered it pretty nicely, I think. I can't, this is what I'm saying, instrumental track versus singing along makes a lot harder. I don't know if I'm actually familiar with the Tetris theme. Well, not based on the way I sang it. Oh, I can't. I can't. I loved it. I used to, with the Tetris theme Well, not based on the way I sang Oh, I probably know it a few I loved it
Starting point is 01:26:26 I used to, it was only like the last five years I saw that I realized that I can't recreate melodies I know, it's so funny, I must There must be so many awkward things that people just nodding at me Going, uh-huh Oh yeah, that's like, yeah Yeah, I love that one Yeah, it's a fantastic one
Starting point is 01:26:42 Anyway, I've finished my drink so I gotta go Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Yeah, I love that one. Yeah, it's a fantastic one. Anyway, I've just finished my drink so I gotta go. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. And finally this week, that was fantastic work. I didn't, I finally this week Nathan Damon has a fact and Nathan, aka, or with the title,
Starting point is 01:27:01 a name that describes someone's position or job. Oh, that's nice. That's a definition of a title. It is what it says on the tin. Uh, Nathan writes, Hey guys, it's been a while. I just wanted others to have a chance for a shout out over block. That's very sweet, Nathan.
Starting point is 01:27:18 I hope everyone out there in Doohgone Land is doing well. So a fact, well, I just finished listening to the Tetrisep where Jess mentioned that she couldn't give blood because she faint. I too can't give blood because my blood is way too powerful for normal people. Wow. Not really. I faint too. I fainted the first time and now I'm not allowed to get blood because I'm low iron. So that's what my blood is too powerful. Sorry, it's too powerful Mr. Damon. Mr. Damon we thank you for your time today but we can't use any of this.
Starting point is 01:27:58 Your blood has killed several people. Yes, well they live so hard that they died He says it's the weirdest thing I can cut myself or something and be fine Rup right up until I get treated then out I go I can bleed all over the place and just I love that this is obviously happened For him to know this I can bleed all over the place and just keep working Be give blood and out I go well, I hope you all have had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and depending on when this is read, Happy Easter, everyone.

I love the two times of you, Easter and Christmas. I love a chocolate hot cross bun. Oh, but I'm not allowed to buy it because I'll eat it.
Starting point is 01:28:50 Yeah, who's rules this? That's my own dog. This is super mug, it's got your photo. That's your rule. These buns are too powerful. I had to do a self-imposed rule around these ginger bickies that I make because they're, I make them and then I eat all of them.
Starting point is 01:29:04 Oh, they're so good. So I've had to. I eat all of that too addicted so I've had to yeah I've had to make them a Christmas time only I might make a batch actually I don't have a I don't really make things but I have that rule about Milo oh my god I can't have it in the house well I the big tin will last less than a week yeah I had about one session a day or you just doing Are you doing like one session a day or are you just doing multiple?

I'll still, I'll have it. I ate it. But it is, you just want to be out of just like- I'll be in control. Yeah. Like you're mining for my low gold.
Starting point is 01:30:33 I knew you'd understand, Dave doesn't. But it doesn't get it. I love my low, but I, the appropriate one. What, as they recommend? Yeah, a spoon and then stir it in. Ah, it's psycho. You have your little chocky milk. It's actually three spoons, then you.
Starting point is 01:30:47 Taste spoons, that's tiny. Yeah, three taste spoons, then like the equivalent of like two shots of milk. Stir it all together, get a nice paste, don't get a little other. Then tip the rest of the milk to the top, then stir it all together and then the marla's along the top. Now, do you count, this is cooking.
Starting point is 01:31:04 Straighten the microwave, you're cooking. No, do you count this as cooking? Straighten the microwave. You're cooking. No, I prefer a cold mile, so it's just a preparation rather than a cook. Your mile is sucks. And mile is way better. Now, what you've got, I'll pour that into the top quarter. Yeah, I need four. Of the ten.
Starting point is 01:31:20 Table spoons. Yeah, it's got to be, and I'm talking heaps. Yeah. I'm talking taller than what. You know, your choke of a mullet.

Probably shot at a movie career. Aaron Fost. To what is the name? Turtle Lady. Turtle Lady. Steadles are slow. And Dana Covey, one of his other famous co-pots was the church lady. So it's a real homage. It's nothing to do with Dana Covey. It's because the last name is fast and turtles are slow.
