This is a fun crime. I'm wrong. And truly victimless. Well, that poor security guard's going to lose his job, that's for sure. Yeah, there were four of them, and they threatened security and security. With the little disc cutter, I think. Oh, really? Get back.

Keep back. You better get back. It was probably in French. And the French, true to their French nature, they turned tail and ran. It could be years of research we're going to be doing here, and they paid the admission of the Louvre. They paid their like 20 euros to get in, and they were like, wait, there's, uh, No security here? Maybe we can do this next week.

Honestly, if I pulled up to the museum, guys were using that thing and had safety vests on, I'm not even, I'm not even clocking it. I'm nibbling on my baguette, thinking nothing of it. I'm smashing my croissant inside my mouth. When they were all done, they fled on motorcycles. Not even motorcycles. Scooters.

Scooters. I love that, man. Like, be beep. Yeah. Just little freaking beep, beep, beep, scoot, scoot. Dude. Looking cuty cute on my scooty scoot. You know, I'm wondering what kind of bags these guys are wearing.

It's got to be backpacks. You know that they had their EDC bags. It's got to be backbacks. Which bags should we use today? The everyday carry, what do you think? And I'm out there going, why not grocery bags? They're less discreet. I'm looking down to town with bed in me.

Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's going on. So listen to her not to bed in me. Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's going on. Tell me what's going on. For the audio listener, I am not wearing a white shirt today. What does that mean?

I bought new shirts, and I'm not wearing white shirt t-shirts. You know, it's my uniform, right? Everybody always makes fun of me. My softball team is even privy to it. They're like, oh, your birthday, we're going to be playing on your birthday. Everybody dresses Ben. Yeah, wear a white t-shirt. Everybody dresses Ben.

Yeah. It's all dressed Ben. Dress as me. Are you going to have a birthday party? I don't think so. I don't know. I'm going to be on my actual birthday next week. I'm going to be.

Playing softball. I have my first training session with Doug and the trainer, but that's at like noon. And then I do have softball that night. You don't have to do it on your actual birthday. I know, but then I have a Halloween party on Friday night. And then someone's throwing one on Saturday that I was invited to. And I'm just like, what am I going to do? By Sunday, everybody's going to be burnt out on parties.

I don't know. Maybe I'll do something on Thursday. Is it hot? Are you hot? I'm okay. Do you think I'll get invited? Well, yeah. Wow.

Because you just got invited to a birthday party. Where did you get the T-shirt? Uniclo. No, it's AS color. AS color. They make blanks. And they have like... Like comfort colors?

Sure, it's like that. They make the, um, my Chinese restaurant shirt that I got in Sydney. Oh, sure. That's actually not a bad way to do it. That's kind of, I bought some comfort colors because I literally, not this one, but I bought a shirt where I was like, I like the fit of this. I love that shirt. Oh, I should just, just get the same shirt.

Yeah. Yeah, there you go. And you got it in a bunch of colors. Yeah. Just blue and white. No, no, I got a green. You got a black. There was a, it said sea foam, but it's like a really, really light powder blue.

It's so much better. When sea from green is in, are you in? Oh, gang. Once again, a reminder, some of you are checking out the new credit card website. And I got to say, there's some pretty good bonus. Let's see, the bonus offer right now for the American Express Gold card is 100,000 points. So that's fantastic. That is my go-to everyday spend card.

That is the one that I love and recommend the most. Then there's the built card, which I also have been enjoying very much. I use it every single month for my rent and random spending. The MX Platinum card, good God Almighty. I've never seen the bonus this high on it. 175,000. Wow, that is massive. That is massive.

And I can't get it again, which is annoying. The annual fee is hefty on that sucker, though. The annual fee is big. Chase Sapphire preferred is just, you know. Well, the reserve right now, the Chase Sapphire Reserve, the bonus is also very high. It's currently 125K. High annual fee. High annual fee.

But both that and the. Amex platinum they have a lot of perks that essentially offset the annual fee it's worth it just to get the bonus alone and then keep it for a year downgraded to a Chase Freedom Unlimited Yeah and then get rid of it

That's the game Don't get rid of it downgrade it Downgrade it yeah never never ever ever Get rid of it something without a fee Honestly the Chase Freedom's great too I mean you'll get one and a half points It's on this website too And then of course for those

Shout out to Ian Edger Edg, Ian, I'm sorry if it's Edgerly or Ed Gurley, I don't know, but he was telling me that he... Ed Gurley? Yes, Ed Gurley. Hi, Ed, Ed, Gurley. He built his credit up from very, very bad using some secured cards as well. Hell yeah. Shout out to people who have built up their credit.

Also, as long as we're doing the ads, we got to talk. Just a real quick shout out to the Ben and Amel Show.com, Ben andamielshow.com for bonus content.

Truly like days and weeks worth at this point. Yeah, but last week, really couldn't stop laughing. That was a good one.

at the Louvre. But also, we're going to talk about some other big heists. One of my favorites, actually, is included in some, yeah, just some other big old heist, because I thought it'd be fun. We thought it would be fun. In fact, Emil thought it would be fun.

He convinced me. I was going to talk about other crap. I think we've talked about this on the show. At least I have. I think I'm on record as saying, There's no fun crime anymore And this is a fun crime I'm wrong And truly victimless Well

Well that poor security guard's gonna lose his job That's for sure No They were doing what they had to The victims are the people of false Head of security Will probably lose his job I mean

He'll be downgraded to the torso of security Hey gang I got some good news So last week you know how I was down four hundred thousand dollars in a single day yes well who was that some little guy running around we got a little guy running around in here he's paid well he's fed well we take you hear a little skittles scattle that's um that's the sound of that's the little guy man i got to say i hate when my back is hot and my back is so hot right now it's those dang as

colors man did you get the hot back versions or what i did get the hot back verse and then Jesus Come on All right, stop it now God and the air's dry Our freaking

Pets' heads are falling off So Thank but by the grace of God All of these damn quantum stocks Are now dropping Just as I said they would And The risk manager

Man the risk manager at T3 where I trade. He's got the coolest, deepest like radio voice. He sounds like... Artist Lewa. No, no.

Who played the dad of Cameron Diaz in... John Groden. The dad in something about Mary. Something about Mary. He's a black... Oh, is it John Elway? He's a black gentleman.

Keith David. Keith David. Oh, sure, sure. This guy sounds like... Keith David, and he's like, Benjamin, I'm calling you from T3, you let you know that blah, blah, blah, blah, oh, man. And it's so bittersweet when he calls because it's usually... Wait, Keith David plays Cameron Diaz's dad? Or stepdad, presumably.

But he's great, man. I love this guy. I mean, I haven't seen him a while. He's great in the thing. He's great in the good guys. Anyway, all these stocks have dropped, and your boy is whole again and fine. And wouldn't you know it? As soon as I cover these shorts, they just keep dropping.

You know how much money I now left on the table? How much? About 150 grand. It's a lot. It's a lot, yeah. I like how you took a second to like, huh. Yeah, it's a lot. That's a lot.

I'm pretty wealthy these days, so I think about money and I go, there's 150 grand a lot? Yeah. Yeah, okay, it's a lot. Yeah. Which led me to, I wanted to share. 150 grand is a lot of money. It is a lot of money. I wanted to share. We all know that I love this guy, Stan Drucken Miller, because he started from nothing. He was just a humble young man with very little money. And he's got this brief little anecdote from a book. I believe it's from a book or an interview either way. But he famously lost, he used to work with George Soros. And he lost a lot of money at the peak of the dot com thing.

I'd like to read it to you if I could. Is that okay? Sure. He said, I made a lot of mistakes, but I made one real doozy. So this is kind of a funny story. At least it is 15 years later because the pain has subsided a little. But in 1999, after Yahoo and America Online had already gone up like tenfold, I got the bright idea at Soros to short internet stocks. And I put 200 million in them in about February. And by mid-March, the 200 million short I had lost 600 million on, gotten completely beat up and was down like 15% on the year. And I was very proud of the fact that I never had a down year. And I thought, well, I'm finished.

So the next thing that happens is I can't remember whether I went to Silicon Valley or I talked to some 22-year-old with Asperger's. But whoever it was, they convinced me about this new tech boom that was going to take place. So I went and hired a couple gunslingers because we only knew about IBM and Hewlett-Packard. I needed Veritas and Verasine, which were two hot stocks back then. I wanted the six. So we hired this guy and we end up on the year. We end up on the year.

We had gone down 15%, we'd been down 15%, and we ended up like 35% on the year, and the Nasdaq's gone up for 100%. So I'll never forget it. January of 2000, I go into Soros' office and I say, I'm selling all the tech stocks, selling everything. This is crazy. At 104 times earnings, this is nuts. Just kind of, as I explained earlier, we're going to step aside, wait for the next

fat pitch. I didn't fire the two gunslingers. They didn't have enough money to really hurt the fund, but they started making 3% a day and I'm out. It's driving me nuts. I mean, their little account is up 50% on the year. I think quantum was up seven. It's just sitting there. So basically, he's lamenting the fact that he's missed this entire bubble and he's just chomping at the bit to either participated in it or short it. So he goes on finally. So like around March, I could feel it coming. I just, I had to play. I couldn't help myself. And three times the same week, I pick up a don't do it,

Don't do it. Anyway, I pick up the phone finally. I think I missed the top by an hour. I bought $6 billion worth of tech stocks. And in six weeks, I had left Soros and I had lost $3 billion in that one play. You asked me what I learned. I didn't learn anything. I already knew that I wasn't supposed to do that. I was just an emotional basket case and couldn't help myself. So maybe I learned not to do it again, but I already knew that. And I just thought that was so good. he bought the top by a few hours he bought six billion dollars worth of tech stocks and in six weeks it was chopped in half and i felt a little bit on a much much much much much much smaller scale kind of like him where i'm like i can't fucking i can't believe this is happening i wasn't going to buy anything but i definitely

just was like there's no way and i was this close to covering my short and the next day it all started dropping and I was saved. Thank you. What did you learn? I already knew. Nice. Really nice. But what did I learn?

Truly, I learned that if you short a breakout, assuming that it's going to fail, stop yourself out and just wait for it to tire itself out. So. Hey, gang. We want to talk to you about, the trials and tribulations of starting your own business and how Shopify can help you just

impossible to understand press releases that now have little to no effect on the market. I'm all in on rigetti, so... Raghetti? That does sound like a noodle, doesn't it? Should we go over to Paris? Should we get on a little transcontinental flight here? We should have worn striped shirts and baguettes. Have you been to Paris?

Yeah, a couple times. You've been to the Louvre? I have been to the Louvre. I don't remember if I've been inside it, but I definitely did the, like, finger on the... That doesn't count as going to the Louvre. Have you been to the Louvre? Yeah, multiple times. Multiple times.

Did you see the Mona? I did. Lisa? What do you think? Underwhelming, right? It's more so... It's just kind of... You just sit in this line and you've got to wait to even get close to it.

And then by the time you get close to it, you're just all... kind of crowd. It's not an enjoyable way to It's tiny. It's small, yeah. It's not an enjoyable way to visit a museum. Yeah. I guess it's something you have to do, but I had way more fun looking at other things, I think. I have been... Without some guy breathing

down my neck. Yeah. I have been to the Raina Sophia Museum a few times in Madrid, and I forgot what other museums are. They're very good. Probably the Prado. Prado, yes. Been to that one a few times. I almost got taken by some

scammers outside too they were like when you say you went to these museums did you go inside or were you just taking were you just doing goofy pictures outside I went inside fully and took in the art

and enjoyed them I saw the Guernica that's at Prado that thing's huge man that's a very impressive very moving piece of art one of the saddest

you know you can't help but just look at I didn't go, what the hell? Why do we do this to ourselves? You know? Why do humans bomb the shit out of each other? He's got a bull in it? It's a moving piece of art.

It is a moving piece of art. And now it's gone because they stole it. No, they didn't know. Can you imagine? Man, so folks, if this doesn't make you want to give up everything and steal, I don't know what will. If you haven't heard, there's been a heist. There's been a big one.

Cool crime is back again. I honestly thought, and I learned after this happened, looking into other things, which we'll get, looking into some of these other lootings and heists, I did not know cool crime's been here. I guess you honestly, if you want cool crime,

you just got to go to Europe. They're just leaving stuff out for you to smash a grab. Truly. And if you want cool crime, do it yourself. But, I mean, it's truly incredible. It all unfolded in about eight minutes. They pull up to the Louvre with, basically a cherry picker.

Oh, I called it a bucket truck. I guess I was wrong. I don't think it is quite a... It is. It's a truck with a cherry picker on it. You're right. But it's more... I think they're... I know we don't have this kind in America,

but I think they're quite common in Paris. They're basically these just kind of... Utility trucks. ...latter-looking utility trucks where I guess it's quite common for people trying to get furniture up into things. So it's not that unusual for one to just show up on the street. But these boys show up.

I've actually got a photo of it. I'll toss it into the chat. Oh, yeah, let's pull it up. 9.30 a.m. The museum's open. Classic museum time. Classic museum time. You're thrilled.

You're trying to check in. You're heading down to the coat room to put your backpack away because they said it's too big. Look at this. Yeah, look at that thing. They pull up. They climb up the little loud. get into the second floor they use a little

circular I don't even know what they're called a drill they just said a drill they were they were also donning safety vests so they looked very official cutters yeah they looked like they were there to work on honestly if I pulled up

to the museum guys were using that thing and a and had safety vests on I'm not even I'm not even clocking on my baguette thinking nothing of it I'm smashing my croissant inside my mouth. Maybe some cheese.

And I'm excited to see some priceless art. They get in, they get to the second floor, they get into the window and they just in the Apollo room. They knew exactly where they were going to. And they were, because they were going to get

not art. They weren't going to roll up pieces of art and try to sell... Art is cooked. They got precious jewels, Napoleonic jewels, crowns. And the reason being because they can,

they don't have to sell these jewels, they can either melt down the metal or they can recut the jewels and just sell them. They're going to be extremely valuable. Yeah, there were four of them and they threatened security and security true to

with the little disc cutter, I think. They didn't have any weapon. Keep back. Keep back. You better get back. It was probably in French. And the French, true to their French nature, they turned tail and ran. And they said, we surrender. But there were five of them, five of the security guards, apparently.

And they went and they did what they're supposed to do, what protocol dictates. Get everybody out. Get all the visitors out. And they cut into some display cases. They had to run past like five display cases to get to this specific one. And they stole these jewels. They stole eight pieces. one of which they dropped.

So there were nine originally, but they dropped one. That one would have been a nice payday. I mean, listen to this thing. It was Empress Eugenie's crown with 1,354 diamonds, 1,136 rose-cut diamonds, and 56 emeralds. How the head? Boy, talk about heavy as the head that wears the crown. That's a lot of gems. How heavy is the crown that you got on your damn head, lady?

And then when they were all done, they fled on most. Not even motorcycles. Scooters. Scooters. I love that, man. Like, beep-beep. I mean, I guess they are kind of high-powered scooters.

They're these Yamaha T-Mexes. But, I mean, you look them up and it's like, this is what they're getting away on. Yeah. Just little freaking beep-beep-beep scoot, scoot. Dude. Looking cutie-cute on my scoot-skeut. Yeah. Unbelievable.

You know I'm wondering what kind of bags these guys are wearing. It's got to be back-backs. Oh, you know that they had their EDC bags. It's got to be back-backs. Which bags should we use today? The everyday carry, what do you think? They're on the scooters. And I'm out there going, why not grocery bags?

They're less discreet or more discreet. Truly, what are they rocking? Are they, you know, go rock and Evergood, some kind of alpaca, Belroy? Steve Neamy, what's the one? God, I don't know. What was that one, that brand? Steve Neem. Tom Beanie?

Tom Beanie. Tom Beene. No, you fool. Do not use the tombene. It's too distinct-looking. That's what I get for having good taste. they are saying now that they're likely

never to be found again that's what it's which I mean I didn't know it was even possible to get away with any kind of crime oh yeah brother it was funny I was looking at the comments

of the I'm kind of obsessed with New York Times comments I don't know why you go to readers picks and see what people are saying and one of the top comments was a reply it wasn't even the comment it was some lady being

Like, this is why I know it's controversial, but every single human needs to be tracked. We have to be tracking them at all times. And the top comment to some guy being like, wait, you want to give up like every single right? Just so museum heists never happen? This is psychotic. Golly. Man. Hey, everybody.

But I also thought they were tracking us all. already. They are. Where are the leaked group chats? You know these guys are on group chats. That's what I love about this. You know they're on WhatsApp, playing this whole thing.

These Europeans on WhatsApp? Brother, of course they are. I find it fascinating that the investigator, the lead investigator is saying that it may have been a private collector who ordered this heist, which is especially cool because looking at some of the other heists

that we'll get to, I like the implication that there is some private collection. some just like evil billionaire guy out there who just gets off on owning this stuff and collecting this stuff. Well, that's the thing. If you were to steal this and try to sell it intact... You couldn't. Yeah, you'd be, you know, it'd be alerted right away.

But, uh, but yeah, if you were to hire them to steal it, you get to keep it in your house and... I bet it was like cartel guys. I bet it was like, uh, European cartel. Oh, man. I'm obviously. hoping it was... It's so fun.

Hoping it was some thieves, French thieves with a heart of gold, you know? It's doubtful. They're paying for one of their

cool gang's members. Leather jacket. You know what it is? I was going to say they were sick, but it's so American of me. I thought they were going to have some sick kid,

but that's an American thing. They actually don't have to go fund me for it. So for them, it's vanity. Yeah, what would they have to steal the money for...

You know, he's going back and trying it on and they're like, oh, look at this, I've got the crown! I do hope they had a fun moment where they were wearing crows. Partying with the crowns,

drinking, taking photo... Fuck, photos. It is... It was very frustrating, actually, because this is cool. Don't get me wrong. This is awesome. But it's not cool

for the people of France who are in a state of national mourning because these were literal crown jewels from Napoleon the 3rds. wife. What if it was

some kind of national what's the Nick Cage National Treasure? What is some kind of national treasure thing? I need to steal the crown the crown jewels of France. They're doing it for some kind of higher purpose Ooh, ooh. Nick that's at least what I like to imagine

French Nick Cage French Nick Cage I need to I can't do it What did make me sad, though, is the lead investigator was presuming that part of the reason why they steal these things is, like you said, to melt them down or cut them up or break them apart and alter them in such a way that they can then sell them on the black market for the purposes of money laundering. And this lady, it's so French, just goes off and she's like, these people are disgusting. their nasty lifestyle is causing the rest of us to suffer great harm to our culture and stuff. And she's absolutely right. There was one, I don't know if it's the same lady, but there's a jewelry specialist,

Joanna Hardy, who actually sold one of the items that was stolen. And she said, why would you do this unless you're really, really stupid? Why would you do this unless you were really, really stupid? Couldn't understand the logic of stealing small diamonds for recutting them when so many diamonds are available on the market. Because you're just leaving it there. Who knew you could just freaking take a little circular drill to the second floor of the Louvre?

Can you imagine the adrenaline pulsing through those French guys' veins? Just hurry up, yeah, hurry up. I'm going as much as I can. Jesus, put the baguette in it. $700,000 in gold was stolen just in September at the Museum of Natural History just a few stops away on the subway from the Louvre with a blowtorch

and power tools, which is really cool. It does really make you wonder what is going on in France. Yeah, that was just a month ago. And then there was also two porcelain dishes and a vase worth about $11 million stolen. Euros.

No, it was 9.5 million euros. Oh, excuse me. I was converting it for our American audience. Thank you. Good job. It was stolen from the Ezraind de Bouche National Museum And some snuff boxes We're stolen from the Cognac Museum

The fuck is a snuff box Why don't you guys Beef up security in these fucking things? Yeah Or cheese them up because we're in France Or French onion Soup them up A snuff box is a small

Oh, it's a little decorative thing It's a little decorative thing Well it's what you would keep your snuff in What was snuff? It was like pre-cocaine Before they figured out that cocaine is better It was I believe I don't get this wrong

But like snortable tobacco Oh yeah That doesn't sound like it rocks to me Finally ground or pulverized tobacco leaves Man I watched a full Maybe you place it in the mouth I watched a full 15 minute long video Of a guy rolling

Oh no inhaled through the nose Oh Finally ground yeah there you go I saw a guy rolling a cigar from scratch Last night Fascinating Where YouTube

just from top-down view and he's just rolling it and I'm like, damn, I want a cigar. You made it seem like you saw it in person. Out in the world, no, no, no. Those things kind of. But you were just... Just watching it. In my bed, I'm laying on my side.

I was like, oh, wow. And just when I thought it was over, he kept going. He kept adding elements to it. Okay, let's go to some fun facts about... Wait, wait, but this is... So it's not just France, okay? So there's all those in France. France, over the past two decades museums and stately homes around Europe have experienced waves of commodity-focused crime.

In Germany, stately homes. Thieves stole a giant gold coin worth several million euros. Who the fuck has a giant gold coin? Well, the Bode Museum, or at least they had it in 2017, they rolled it out in a wheelbarrow. Do they even have security at these fucking things? These are some, like, Looney Tunes style. Honestly, I lose my mind reading these. Europe is just full of...

There's a cop with like a big old top hat and a baton chasing. Whacking people on the... Two years later, members of a notorious Berlin crime family broke into the green vault rooms... Wait, a notorious Berlin crime family. I love that. The green vault rooms of the Royal Palace Museum in Dresden and stole more than a hundred million euros worth of jewels.

Jesus Christ. Crazy. And in 2022, thieves stole a cashier. of 483 ancient gold coins worth an estimated $1.7 million. I love summling upon a cash of ancient coins. It's not just France. Well, did you know that there's a place in France

where the naked ladies dance? I did know. And apparently there's a hole in the wall where the boys see it all. Britain is having their own troubles. Britain was hit with a spade of such robberies in the 2010s. Most notoriously, 2019,

when hooded robbers smashed their way into Blenheim Palace, Winston Churchill's birthplace and stole a fully functioning 18-carat gold toilet that had been created... Who are these guys? Me? By the artist Marizio Catalan.

Some gold toilet? I mean, but truly the most cartoon-ass heists. We've ever... Putting a giant gold coin in a wheelbarrow. Stealing an 18... A fully functioning 18-gallet gold... Toilet. I'd crap in that thing

all day. I'd never get up. My legs would go numb. I dare any strapping American thieves to get their way into Trump Tower. Get yourself a gold toilet. I do, wait. Did you say the toilet was stolen in Germany or UK? That was in Britain in Winston Churchill's birthday in the palace. So it's not Germany, because you know that gold toilet in Germany would have had the display shelf.

You know about the shelf, the poop shelf in German toilets? No. German toilets have their A hole But don't even get me started You fucking people out there Go to the image Images, poop shelf

Oh dude They're insane They poop straight onto the porcelain In Germany because they're sick fucks You're an insane person It's meant for you to observe your poop To make sure that it's healthy That's why the hole

The hole is in the front of the toilet Instead of the back Like a normal A human being toilet And you're saying we should do that here. No, I'm saying that's disgusting. I don't want to crap on...

Look at that. Ew. Ew, dude. It's disgusting. All right, click out of here. Look at the lady just lovingly staring at her... Look at the child here. This is a poop.

Oh, wait, that's not... That's not German. Disgusting. We must observe it. You're saying Mahas should get these toilets in every house. No, no. I'm saying... I was saying that it would have been funny

if the gold toilet also had the poop shelf. We don't know if it did. I mean, I'm sure this toilet was yeah who knows i hate the poop shelf i want to go on record and say i don't like the poop shelf anyway you guys want to know that i didn't know this uh emil the the mona lisa only became famous because it was stolen in 1911 i think that's kind of a myth okay then i am wrong but i mean maybe i'm wrong but i think i think that's like one of those apocryphal stories people tell of like you know it wasn't even a big deal until it got stolen but maybe he was he was a former uh worker

at the Louvre in 1911 and he just took it off the wall, put it under his shirt and left. And it took him two years to find the damn thing. It might have gotten more famous, but let's see. While you're doing that, will you

copy and paste into Google Murph the Surf there? Because this guy's a real one of the other big heists was, it took place here in the good old United States to America.

This is the TLDR. The Mona Lisa was a masterpiece, but no one but the king and his mistress saw for centuries. His mistress? Mistress, sorry. The revolution meant it reached a large audience. The 1911 theft made it super famous, but its exposure to the U.S.

as a calculated political event made it ultra-famous painting that is today. So it sounds like it's had multiple things. Yeah. Okay. Well, the next one that I wanted to discuss was 1964. This guy his name was Murph the Surf and he

I'm reading it and I'm like Murph the Surf they're including it in this article as if I should know who he is. Murph the surf in a couple of accomplices climbed a fire escape into the American Museum of Natural History fuck It's crazy

I know I'm so sorry they stole diamonds emeralds and rubies and the star of India Jack Roland Murphy Murph the Surf look at this guy I'm looking at his I'm like, oh, cool, he's like a career criminal. And then I read this little synopsis right there. Jack Roland Murphy, known as Murph the Surf, was an American burglar, athlete, minister, and convicted murderer.

Well, I mean, it comes with the territory. But, like, look at his face. You think, like, he's just a cheeky, I don't just an American burglar. Well, let's hear how the murder happened. Yeah, let's click his, now let's click his Wikipedia. burglary whiskey oh other they're up the the murders

in 1967 in Florida figures the weighed down bodies of Terry Ray Frank and Annell Marie Mone were found in Whiskey Creek Canal near Hollywood at the site of John U. Lloyd Beach State Park they were former employees

of some brokerage firm they were suspects in the theft of nearly $500,000 worth of stocks the loss of the stocks was not discovered until after they quit the firm and moved to Florida. Okay, what did did he do it?

All right, so Murphy was the getaway driver in the robbery of socialite Olive Wolford. Wow, and then he was visited in prison and decided to change his life. Oh, here we go. Murphy had accomplished Jack Griffith were tried in Fort Lauderdale for the murder of 24-year-old Terry Ray Frank,

one of two women whose bodies were found in Whiskey Creek. Murphy's attorney pleaded not guilty of first-degree murder by reason of insanity. Murphy was committed to a mental hospital for seven months before the... Huh. All right. Did he... We don't even know why he did it.

It's useless. Murph the surf. Hey, guys. We want to take one more quick break to talk about looking good and feeling good. You know that old saying, well, it doesn't always hold true, right? With certain clothing companies.

You know, most dress clothes only check one of them boxes. They might look good, but they feel awful. stiff, hot, high maintenance, which makes it really hard to feel comfortable or you might feel good but then look terrible. That's why we're such big fans of Mizzen and Maine. Because most dress clothes are uncomfortable, high maintenance and just don't feel good to wear. You spend too much time ironing, dry cleaning, and tugging its stiff fabrics. But imagine this, a crisp, comfortable white dress shirt that you can wear every day of the week without constant washes or endless trips to the dry

cleaner, that's exactly what Mizan and Maine delivers. Mizan and Maine makes classic menswear with performance fabrics, so it's effortless to look sharp and feel great. They actually invented the performance fabric dress shirt over 10 years ago, and since then, they've perfected it with modern fabrics. Mizzen and Maine's shirts and pants look refined, yet they're stretchy, lightweight, moisture wicking, wrinkle-resistant, and completely machine washable. No ironing or dry cleaning.

and maps of the, of the, of the, of the, of the, of the. the thing of the museum in their motel room, which I thought was very funny. And the Eagle Diamond was apparently never found. I want to bring back, we need famous jewels and stuff. You remember the Hope Diamond? They're all in museums. Yeah, but like

we used to, they used to be part of the culture. You want them part of the culture. Yeah, we used to know, young people don't know what the Eagle Diamond is or the star of India. They might soon. Or the Hope Diamond? This is why we need it. Because you know what else we had back then? What? Heists.

Yes. man. What we still do, there were some very recent ones. This is how they get famous again. I had no idea about the Napoleonic jewels, all right? In 1990. Now I'm obsessed with the dang things. Yeah, wow, look at the Star of India. In 1990,

the Isabella Museum in Boston. Two guys... Damn, I can't do Boston. I was... I want to kill. I want to die. That was fully Australian. You went full... Two guys. Disguised. This cops stole 500 million dollars in art. and nobody has found any of the 13 that were stolen.

That's awesome. They're just out there in the wind. That's where I'm like, it has to be some kind of situation where it's got to be a private collector or something because what is the point with price of art if you can't sell it? They just really dig them, I guess. You bring a chick over to your house, you're like, yeah, it's Mogdiliani.

Stolen. That's stolen. If you tell anybody, I'll hurt you. In 1994, the National Museum in Oslo had Edward Munches the scream stolen. It was stolen. They must have recovered it. They did recover. It was stolen in less than a minute through a window.

Because I had seen it. There was a note left behind that said, A thousand thanks for your poor security. That's some heist shit. That is. Leaving a note like that? Where was that? Do you know where that was?

Oslo. A thousand thanks. for your security. They had tried to ransom it for a million dollars and it got botched and they got busted. Man, I love that. Oh, this is my favorite one. One of my favorites.

New Year's Eve, 2000. The millennium. The perfect time for a heist. We all thought we were going to die because of... Fireworks are going off everywhere. In Oxford. Oxford, good old Mary Oxford in England. Seizan's view of Alverseroyce.

You nailed it. Thank you. Was stolen and never found. Love that. It's just out there. And some fuckers got it. And either he knows or she doesn't. I hope it's hanging in a crappy apartment.

That's what I'm kind of thinking. It might end up. A guy's got a post-divorce apartment. His living room furniture is, you know, folding beach chairs but at least I've got my Cézone yeah she can't take that away from me I do like the idea that some of these

private collectors or whoever these guys are are gangsters who aren't fabulously rich but they have good taste and they want to they want to feel like they've got stuff you know so they're just like hey I'll pay you 100 grand to go steal that

fucking priceless work of art so I can have it really wants a crown yeah I deserve a crown. I lead this gang. I would want the art more than the crowns. The jewels. Give me the, give me the art. I think that's cool to hang it in your house. It would make me too nervous. Yeah. Some guy comes over and spots it. Last thing I need. Hey, I know that. That's Cézons. A view of Alverseroyce. That was stolen from Oxford in 2000. I'm calling the police. 2010. I like this guy. He was a, he's a, I believe he's French. His name is Vigeron Tomic. Dude, the French are just pumping out thieves. Oh, yeah. Known as Spider-Man, because he slipped in a window without setting off alarms. And he took five paintings. A Picasso, a Matisse, a Moggigliani, a Brock.

And a legerre. He said that he had only intended to take the legerre, but he took the others because he said he had time and he liked them. And none were ever found. God, that's awesome. These thieves are also cold as ice. Yeah. A thousand thanks for the poor security.

I just like them, so I take them. I had time, so I took them. The security was so slow. Yeah. So then I had sex with my, I had some sex, and then I took them. I made love to my wife. Yeah. I actually saw a security guard and tipped my hat, and he was taking a nap.

I gave him one flash of my drill. 2019, we're almost through it. We're almost to my favorite one. The 2019 in Dresden, there was a pre-cut hole in a window grate, and they detonated a firebomb. This one's too messy. To set off electricity. I like when they sneak in and out. Yeah, yeah.

Sneaky, sneaky. I like a disguise. Yeah. I like people pretending like they're working on the building. I like a guy named Spider-Man. Sneaking in. I like a little note. Don't use explosives.

These guys stole $100 million in jewels. They filled the room with powder to throw off investigators and the five guys that did it were caught. Throw the powder. Yeah. Okay, so my favorite one, man, oh man. I was reading up on this last night because it's been a while. Antwerp, Belgium, 2003, the Diamond Day.

district, this really, really smart guy. In fact, Google the Antwerp Diamond Heist, because there are characters, like actual, from a movie, characters. But this guy has this vision to rob this particular, just click, yeah, click the wiki. It's funny this came out after the movie Snatch. Zoom in, just a wee bet. They stole loose diamonds, gold, silver, and other types of jewelry valued it more than a hundred million dollars. And it took place over the weekend of February 15th through 16th. So this vault that had the diamonds, this guy, Leonardo Notar Bartolo, he rented an office, oddly enough, at 9-11 Shoupstrat in the Antwerp Diamond District. Is that all Italians? It is. Leonardo Notar Balo. Fernandino. Fernando. Venoto.

Eleo Deonoreo Pietro Tavano So the office that he rented provided him access to a safe deposit box in the vault beneath the building and it took him

two years to prepare this robbery Basically they had a whole bunch of I mean I can't get into the details but they had done all sorts of good reconnaissance and like learned every detail about the surveillance and stuff they said that they installed a small camera

above the vault door to monitor the guards and record the vault's combination which is super simple he visited the vault under guise of a routine trip and sprayed hairspray on the thermal motion sensor to temporarily disable it the vault's magnetic lock which relied on a magnetic field between two plates to trigger an alarm if broken

was bypassed by carefully removing the bottom portion of the screws securing the plates while the magnetic field was inactive earlier that week and using adhesive tape to keep them in place. During the heist, they used a custom aluminum plate to keep the plates together and so maintain the magnetic field.

When you do all that, you should just get to keep it. You shouldn't go to jail. Dude, right? Put these guys to work. They used a long two-part three-dimensional key to open the vault door along with its combination. There were infrared sensors in the vault, but they used a polystyrene shield to block their thermal signatures

and secured it in front of the sensors. They also covered the light sensor on the ceiling with tape so that they could then turn on the lights and not be seen. This is what I would want my skill to be if I was in the crew. So Leonardo Notar Bartolo, a professional thief who was skilled in social manipulation. Yeah, man. Dude.

You know he's like George Clooney, basically, in Ocean's 11. I like this. Once inside, the thieves used a custom-made handgun. cranked device to break open 109 of the 189 safe deposit boxes, each equipped with both a unique key lock and three letter combination lock. That's fucking

gnarly. So the way that they got caught, Notar Bartolo and the here, scroll down to the actual there we go, up, up, up. So here are the team. You had speedy described as an anxious and paranoid

man. He was a longtime friend of Notar Bartolo, and he was the one responsible for getting them caught. The two of them go back to Notar Bartolo's apartment. They've succeeded. They've carried out the best heist ever. And then Notar Bartolo instructs Speedy. All right, get rid of this trash. Fucking Speedy, for whatever reason was like, I know the perfect place to get rid of this trash. I'll scatter it so it's just litter. I'll scatter it near this highway. The fucking owner of the land is out walking his dog. It happens to come across this trash.

He's like, what the hell is this? Starts looking at it. And it's like, and by then it's been in the news. And it's evidence directly linking them. Just burn it, speedy. Dude, no fucking kidding. So that's what took them down. The other characters include The Monster,

described as a tall, muscular man. He was an expert lock picker, electrician, mechanic, and driver and was very strong. The genius, who was a specialist in alarm systems, an electronics expert known to be linked to a series of robberies and then I like this guy the king of keys an older man who was described as one of the best

key forgers in the world his true identity is unknown beautiful the king of keys we still don't even know who the king of keys is I know honestly with all this stuff I was getting so amped up I was like what is going on in Europe why don't we have these are real life movie I know and you guys are complaining you guys go on the news like oh no our diamonds you guys live in the coolest place in the world you guys you guys have real life oceans 11 happening sometimes three times in two months all right let's say god forbid someone

kidnap someone close to you and they say uh you have to rob a bank or you have to do a heist for me or i'll kill them what do you what what kind of heist are you doing or i guess take away that part and just what kind of heist would you do if you had to do it i'm doing a i like i like the way the guys just did it at the louvre just uh breaking and entering i think doing hiding in plain sight is always the way. I love that. I want to be, I want you to think I'm just a worker. And also in and out

in eight minutes, unbelievable. Yeah. I love all these like movie characters from Antwerp and stuff. Those are all the Antwerp guys. You're telling me, you're putting two years into this? Yeah. My guy, we did it in eight minutes. Yeah. Well, they might have done a lot of reconnaissance. Sure. But

I can't imagine. What these guys went through, they were dealing with so much more than what was at the Louve. I mean, they probably were like, okay, get prepared for, it could be years of research we're going to be doing here. And they paid the admission of the Louvre. They paid their like 20 euros to get in. And they were like, wait, there's no security here. Maybe we can do this next week.

I think my, have you seen Die Hard with a vengeance? I don't know. I've seen maybe like the first two or three, but I don't remember what they're called. You might have seen someone with Samuel Jackson. Where he goes up to Harlem and where's the like. Yeah. Yeah. The sandwich board in the beginning?

it's a fucking awesome movie but there's a big gold heist in that one that's pretty good they do a terrorist attack Oh yeah it's the they're breaking into the vault Yeah at Fort not Fort Knox The Federal Reserve I think I would I fantasized about robbing a bank

And I came up with a plan There's I mean probably because we've been watching it on movies In movies and TV for so long But there's something so romantic about it Oh yeah How are you going to do it? think I would strap a believable-looking bomb to myself and go into... Too complicated.

Go to a bank in the early... Right as they're opening, right as the managers getting there, whoever's there first. And just putting on a clinic in acting and looking absolutely terrified and saying like, you know, basically pretending like I'm being forced to do this. It's not you who strap that bomb to you. and just I like this already because if you do get caught

you're saying I don't do it someone else was the one armed man but yeah and going in and um okay so now what do you do you're in there

I go in and I take all the cash ensuring like there's no die packs or trackers right they'll fucking kill me they've got my daughter you don't want me to die they've got my kids just pretend you you lean on the guilt of it

And then you get the money and then you jump over a fence and then you got a getaway car and you're fucking out of there. And you're out of there. You're gone. No, I'm doing an eight-minute lube heist. Yeah? That does sound really nice and romantic. You get away on your little Yamaha T-Mex? Yeah.

I got my favorite backpack on. Oh, man. You're like, finally, I've been able to use my heist backpack. It's just been sitting there. Yeah. For those who don't get the reference, it was last week's bonus episode. He's got so many different fucking backpacks. Yeah, I think it would either be that or an elevated heist.

And I've, again, fantasized about this and talked about it. What's an elevated heist? Meaning there's kidnapping involved. Why? Because that's where the real money is made. You kidnap a CEO. Oh, no. This is crazy. Someone who's like a, not him specifically because he's way too high profile, but like an Elon Musk who's, who's absolutely.

who's absolutely imperative to the success of the company and who's the poster child for the company and you kidnap them or you steal their phone or both you kidnap them, force them to, you unlock your phone, do it. And then you place some trades against the company and then you tweet something to the effect of like, I'm stepping down or I'm going to drive my car off a clip. away with it, though.

You never know. If it's a liquid enough stock and it's got constant flow like that, it's absolutely possible. Because the point is, you got to get away with it. Otherwise, what's the point? If you make the trade... You got some kind of weak link like speedy in your crew? If you make the trade... If you do the trade a month before

and you give yourself enough time and then you go and execute the thing, you could get away with it. You could get away with it. Just don't leave any witnesses or survivors. The real thing is, though, I know I'm not cut out for it. I mean, just the... Oh, yeah. I'd want to tell everybody.

I would tweet, like, that was me. I did it. I also have a nervous stomach. I'd be shitting myself before, you know. Can I poop in the gold toilet before we steal it? Please, please. It's got the poop display shelf, too. I got...

I just... Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'd be very nervous, too. Man, I don't... Yeah, I don't think we're cut out. Thank God we're not cut out for this shit, right? I can barely... Like, I went to Trader Joe's, and I got to go macro bar.

And before checking out, I wanted to start eating. eating it. But I was nervous because I was like, they're going to accuse me of stealing. I mean, that's insane. Yeah. Because then you just have them scan the rapper. But then that feels psycho. It's like, hey, scan this. I ate it. There is always something embarrassing about being like, don't put that one in the bag. I'm going to eat it on the way home. I just take it before they can put it in the bag. I'm like, that's got to be in my tummy right now. Yeah. Man, Trader Joe's is such a joke. Is it? It's just a snack. You're right, man. It was you that said it's just snack food. No, I like Trader Joe's. I mean, I like it too for their snack food.

I like it for shopping there. I got these manors there. They're already turning. That's bananas, dude. Bananas, like, have a, they have like a 23-hour period where it's perfectly yellow and then the rest of the time it's either unripe or soft. That's true. That's true. That's right. That's every banana. Don't blame Trader Joe's. That's fair. Yeah, I just like the idea of some kind of corporate manipulation to to heist to do heist to steal

I'm trying to think of what we what you could steal art coins cash jewelry house honestly this makes me think like museums

are the way reading all these things it seems like a French museum is just it's like they're just holding their little heinie out to be spanked it's insane

you would think that the Louve of all places A guy walking through security with a wheelbarrow. I actually have to go to the fourth floor where the really big coin is. What do you do with that wheelbarrow? Oh, I'm going to check it in the cloak room. Don't worry. There have been people who've tried this just showing that if you wear a hard hat and a safety vest and you're carrying a ladder, people will let you through anywhere.

Oh, I'm sure. I would. If I see a guy in any kind of... I'm like, oh, yeah, right this way. Come on in. Come on in. You got to get up somewhere, sure. Full firefighter gear.

Come on in. That's a good one, too, man. Ooh. I like that. That'd be a good one. Me and you, Natural History Museum, firefighters. Yeah. Stealed dinosaur bones.

We got soot all over our face. Yeah. Is this where the fire is? and we're just trying to haul I wouldn't want to steal yeah stealing dinosaur bones would be fun cops you can't do people don't trust cops anymore no firefighter

um try to fuck you people always want to fuck firefighters uh post 9-11 I think it's cooled off a little bit no they're still brother if you're a good looking guy and you're a firefighter women are starting fires

they are starting fires You know? I don't know. But if you say so. I saw a video of some, some firefighter in, like, Texas or something, and a bunch of girls are, like, hooting and hollering. And he's, like, getting in the truck, and he's like, all right, all right. And I'm just thinking, man.

You should be a firefighter. I should be a firefighter. No, I couldn't stomach that. I think it's mostly sitting around the house with the Dalmatian. No, there's a lot of, it's a lot of, um, by the way, have you seen this new show? It's not new, but 911. I know of it I see the clips

where it's like the most ridiculous thing happens and it's like some lady rushes in and she's like there's a dog stuck in my vagina yeah it's crazy that's crazy

that's actually not a bad plot for one of these episodes every single one I've seen is like it's something like that or this is so stupid I saw one of uh Rob Lowe there's a guy who got stuck

in a cryogenic like chamber for for sports therapy or something and they arrive and he's like frozen and they're like okay we got to get him out get him out and he goes to do chest compressions it just breaks his full body weight just goes right through

and then he's like oh oh it's like it's so funny and silly it makes me want to watch the show honestly roblo must have gambling debt or something i'm i didn't know he was on that show but the the things ooh you could rob a casino no way well you just got to find a guy who's really really really almost non-functioning autistic to count cards.

This guy sucks. Honestly. This is a godless man. This would, you know, oh my God, he's naked with all the money. Dude, on the table, get out of there, man. This guy sucks. See, if I found out the French guys who sold the money were like this, I'd be very pissed. I'm picturing very cool guys.

Yeah. Put it in a bank. Wow. That was stupid. I also wouldn't put it past at all just being fake money. The thing is I, I mean, there's no way to know. I remember there was a kid. He's obviously building some kind of brand off of this.

Circo, like, 2017. There was a kid on Instagram. Yeah, he's got the super... For the audio listener, I mean... Picture a douchebag. A guy who just like... There's guys who kind of have never matured past what they think is cool from basically junior year of high school. Yeah.

What that little kid thinks is cool. and uh this this is that guy to an absolute tea yeah i want shitty tattoos all over my face the poses he's doing everything oh god man what a bummer what a bummer this guy and like dan dan whatever his name bilzeria oh that guy is i mean he's the he he started the like life can just be gambling fucking and guns i mean that is a pretty awesome combination, dude. He does have great legs and a great

and those seem like fun girls. He seems like a happy guy like just so happy. Look at that. He's surrounded by love. Oh, great. It's a veritable who's who of... Oh, is that Andrew Tate? Yeah. Oh, Jesus. Jesus, man. It just doesn't seem... Wow, those helicopters

were so close to each other. Yeah. He's going to die of a heart attack or, I don't know, some kind of playing crash. Oh, they're probably doing tons of cocaine. Yeah, yeah. Get out of it. I don't want to look at this piece of shit anymore. What do you find all these women to hang out with? I don't know, but one of my little brother's ex-girlfriends used to hang out with him. Weird. Yeah. Did she have stories? I never asked. You never asked? I didn't know until after they broke up. He was like, yeah, she used to like hang out

with Dan Balsarian. And I was like, and you dated her? Yeah, that is a red flag. Yeah, brother. That's what we call a red flag. My ex-boyfriend, you know, Dan Bill's area? Yeah. I'd go, oh, all right, well. Yeah, I think a sports gambling heist could work. Well, the heist... You make a huge bet.

The best thing you could do is, you know... Manipulate the game. Yeah. Yeah. Chicago Black Sox. You... There is no Chicago Black Sox. I think back in the day, there was.

That was the big – that was the team that they were fixing the games. Oh. Maybe I'm wrong. It's such a tragedy what they did to – oh, the black sock. Yeah, the black sock scandal. Was a game-fixing scandal in the MLB? Eight members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of intentionally losing the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for payment from a gambling syndicate.

Oh, they call them the Black Sox because they were bad boys, I guess. I just love that there are still organized crime out there doing robberies. like that, doing heists. It's so fascinating to me. You want to get in? Yeah, I do. The ban remained in force for more than a century. Wait, define the punishment as banishment from consideration from the Hall of Fame.

Whoa. Oh, did they put, Pete Rose really got it tough. That poor guy. He was betting on his team to win. Yeah, we believed in his team, yeah. We talked about that. man it's fucked up he's in the major league baseball's all-time leader and hits that's fucking awesome and he died and he died yeah he died at 83 i mean yeah you made it sound like it was

unfair yeah he all-time greatest hitter and he died at 83 he uh he batted switch that's tough man that's tough batting average of 300 just over 300 um so yeah i think i would i think i would like either threaten an athlete's family classic style you know classic style I'm sure there's a tremendous amount of

of that not threatening a an athlete's family or something like that but I'm sure there's a tremendous amount of untoward practices going on in professional sports especially college these days can you mention being a 19 year old

kid and like your buddies are like dude look at the over under on blah blah blah if you you know shaving points that kind of thing yeah i've read stories about the guys too or like um where some basketball player people will have seats that are so close they can yell to the basketball player like you know we just need you to hit like one more three and we cover whatever and the guy's like all right and he chucks up a three it's just so weird see now i what would stop you from if you had like a couple million dollars on the line, what would stop you from just like chucking a sprite at LeBron's head to make your parlay?

Yeah, I mean, that's worthwhile, right? Or you bet on Polly Market? It's like, will someone throw a sprite at LeBron's head tonight? And it's got like 90 to one odds. And then you go there and you're like, all right, I'm going to chuck a sprite at LeBron's head. That's basically the dildo thing. Oh, yeah, God.

Yeah, people have been pointing out that there's all kinds of, Polymarket is just full of things that any insight could place huge bets on. I bet some guy out there who's Polly is pissed off because they took the trademark for that and he wanted to do a dating app called like Polly Market.

Or he wanted to start a store where you can buy stuff. A co-op. It's got to be a co-op. Yeah, a co-op that sells books like how to be less annoying or something like that.

How do not stink? I don't not stink like shit. Jesus. Oh, I forgot to spray Doug's butt. How to get people to stop yelling, go back to San Francisco at you? Yeah. Hippie.

All right. I think that that. That's a good place to stop. Should we put a disclaimer that we're not encouraging anyone to steal? Yeah, don't steal. Unless you're going to go big, unless it's going to be cool. Yeah. Also...

Truly go big or get your ass home. No weapons. Unless it's a little drill you've got to use to get in. Yeah. And unless you're just going to give a menacing... Yeah. To the security guard. Don't kill anybody.

All right, gang. We'll see you in the bonus. We're going to talk about. about the 747 plane crash, the World Porridge Competition, the chicken gun, and we're going to finally get to the bottom of what the actual living, ever-loving fuck is 6-7. Oh, Jesus Christ. Did you know about this before I put it? 6-7?

Yeah, I've known about it for a couple weeks, unfortunately. I actually have known. That's good because I really don't. They talked about it on talk radio today, so I know that it's really having a moment. If I see a six outside or a seven, I'm hitting it with my car. Hey, why was six afraid of seven? It's seven, eight, nine. Ah.

It should be why was ten afraid of seven? Because seven, eight, nine. It's creeping up on you, ten. That is a good point. Yeah. If I was six, I'd be like, hey, it seems like seven's trying to eat bigger numbers than me. Yeah, I got him up. just keep my head down and...

I'm a little guy. All right, gang. We'll see you in the bonus. Coming up on this week's episode of Ben and Emile Show.com. My classmates mocked me, but I could tell they envied the locks on the briefcase. As with many obsessions,

which appear to an observer to be a mania for collecting variants of a particular thing, it was in fact a quest for the one perfect version of that thing that would fulfill a deep-seated psychological need. In my case, the irrational belief

that finding the right bag one that allowed me to comfortably and confidently carry my essentials would effectively solve all my problems in life in essence I wanted security

a sense that I was ready for whatever might happen wiser people than me would cultivate inner peace through self-acceptance but I needed to carry a bunch of stuff around to feel at ease

and you identify with this guy you like this guy that entire paragraph I really identify I mean I feel that too it's just I pack it all and I put it in my backpack and I'm good

go on not to be like total lib about this but this is the kind of stuff that we're going to lose out on with all these funding to government research and everything

what do you mean we're going to lose the chicken gun there's scientists who because look it was first chicken gun built by right there U.S. Civil Aeronautics Administration yeah okay so we used to have guys who would be like

we got a problem the birds keep hitting the planes yeah and then you had fucking nerds from Carnegie Mellon university working on they're like how can we simulate a bird hitting a plane and then they get to come up with the chicken gun chicken gun chicken gun chicken gun chicken cannon gun chicken gun chicken gun chicken gun
