This is an American History podcast where each week I, Dave Anthony, read a story from American history to a clown. Gerith Reynolds, who has no idea what that topic is going to be about. To those of those who are tuning in for the first time, I'm not a clown. We have a lot of fun here. Listen, go dolloppodcast.com.

We're going on tour. Same old van. Not a new van. So close to a new van. That was crazy. You don't even know. Yeah. And we blame Matt Fara.

Yeah, definitely blame Matt. Don't go get drunk at Matt's house. Send you home in a Waymo. And then he'll get you on a wild goose chase trying to get a sprinter van. He's from the Burning Oven podcast. Burning Oven? Isn't that the podcast he's on? No, rubber.

Tires. Smoking tires. I think it's oven. Smoking tires. Burning oven. Nope. We'll check. We'll have Jamie check that, but I'm pretty sure.

Did you see the, any time people get near, like, billionaires or Epstein, he'll be like, alright, we get it. Or he'll be like, yeah, so weird. All right, this is part two of Garrett Trapnel, part two. It's been two weeks since we did part one, so we'll see how much Gareth remembers.

Did you sing that like the bare naked ladies? No, actually I can't. Two weeks since part one. Sometimes I am concerned about what happens in your head. Other times it's like great and funny, but then there are definitely times where I'm like, man, this guy's trapped. He's trapped in his own head and it's got to be. I went to a llama farm in Portland and I definitely like the woman who, they were great.

This woman, they're like, she does these airport therapy lovers. But by the time I left that farm, that woman's mother was like, what's wrong with you? She's like, are you okay? Well, you did send me a video of you tongue kissing a llama baby llama for a good 30 seconds. Not a baby. That was an adult female. Are you shitting me? No, that was a baby.

Oh, all right, it was a baby. You were doing Epstein Island Lama shit. I bribed it in my mouth with carrots. 1969. Yeah, 69. Gareth, Jerry, we're calling him, Gary. Gary Trapnel was on the move again after escaping from another mental institution. Okay.

He landed in Los Angeles and now assumed the identity of James W. Stewart, an army captain. This is Jimmy Stewart? This is Jimmy Stewart. Well, wait a minute. I guess I've always been bitten by the act. Boy, you've been waiting to do that forever. I didn't even know I really had a Jimmy Stewart. Yeah, sure, you didn't.

You probably walk on the house doing that one. Well, someday it'll come up on the podcast. I'll be able to crowbar it in. who medically retired and was returning from Vietnam. I've been medically retiring. I was in Vietnam. The memories harm me. He moved into an apartment in the valley.

Someone drops a phone book. I think it's a gun. Now I live in the valley. The whole episode now. I never want anything to stop more. Now, wait a minute there, Dave. That includes. That includes Vietnam.

Still here, the gunshots. I saw. Some of my best friends go. God damn it. One of them was a rabbit. I'm just going to leave. Why? Well, if you're going to leave, I'll tell you what, I'm going to leave too.

Okay. Don't follow me. Well, where are you going? Not where you are. There's a pretty big car. You know, my car's this big where you're from? What are you doing? What does that even mean?

What just happened? He's like in this time. He's in your time. So he's following you to your car now. Their cars are big also. Well, but there's just. so compact. No, they're not.

Well, now they are. They were big back then. They're too big. And now they've taken... We're talking about 1969 right now. What are you talking about? When you yell at me, it takes me right back to my platoon. And I don't like that memory.

God, damn it. So then he met Susan. He fell in love with her, and he married her. As James Stewart. Yes. Always a good move. classic dollop trope.

So he got a job selling cleaning chemicals to an army base. Sure. And he settled down. He settles down. He's like a regular work in jail with a wife. Yeah. He was going to be married, a normal guy now. He even came clean to Susan about everything he had done.

Everything? Everything? But she's too in love with him to care. What a relief that must have been. He's changed now. Yeah, right? Yes. To unburden yourself and be like, she's sticking around.

I mean, he has done multiple crimes and in and out of mental institutions. Like, his history is like, that's okay. I love you. That's great. But Garrett is Garrett. And eventually, as always, he got paranoid and restless. It's only so long he can do this. But this is the cycle.

That's what happens. Yeah. He started writing bad checks. and soon he had $600,000 in today's money most from conning big grocery store chains How much money? 600,000 in today's money.

Wow. So he's just, because people probably don't know how it worked back then, but back then that's how you got cash was you would go to the grocery store, write a check for over the amount. Sometimes you would just go to the grocery store and write a check and go,

can I get $50 and they'd give it to you? Well, it's like, it's really hard to go to even think back to when that worked, how that worked for so long. Well, because, because. Because crime, you were like, I'm not going to do crime. Well, well, part of it was you're part of a society and as a store, you want regular customers and if you do convenient things for them. So, and they just don't expect like a lot of people to come in and do that. And a lot of people won't. How does it work?

Most people aren't just going to commit. Does he have to show ID with the check? Yeah. So he's just got a fake, what's he? Probably fake ID. Fake ID and fake check in the grocery stores like, ma'am? Yeah. That's fine.

Well, but that's, that's all you had. Right. There's no other way to do it back then. You look at the ID. Is he like first? He's first. No, there are people who have been doing checks. Right.

But he made over 600 grand doing this. Well, yeah, but I think most people wouldn't take it to this level. so this is extraordinary. I mean, though. But most people would be like $50 and he'd scam or whatever. Yeah. So he's going nuts. Yeah, just these tomatoes and then like 50 grand.

Is that crazy? So how much is that? $50,000 and $4. And you know what, actually just keep the tomatoes. You know, that's fine. I actually don't need them. And then he gets in a car and heads east. The thing is,

that it's the rush. He likes the rush. He does like the rush. Because it's all about, it's all about... And once you kind of become calm, then the, you know, he wants the,

he wants the adrenaline again. Yeah, it's about the juice. Yeah. Yeah. So he meets a woman who accepts him for him. I mean, obviously he's under a fake name, but she accepts him, all that,

and even that, that's not good enough. No. Right. He needs to be on the ropes. And he, the rush is also, like, the rush of, like, falling in love with the woman.

Yeah. And then it just needs another rush and another rush. So first thing he does when he heads east is to go and spring George Padilla from the mental institution. His boy. And this is how they did it. So Garrett waits outside in a car during a shift change. Now, remember, George is a really big guy. Right.

So George just runs through and plows through everyone when the doors are open. and just runs and jumps in the car. Perfect. That's it. He just does like a football. They're benefiting a lot from being first. Again, I mean, this is the thing. Nobody thought of that.

Yeah, people were like, well, and then what chip? Whoa, did he just run? What the fuck? Wait, you could just run out of here? Holy shit. I didn't know a man could Kool-Aid his way out of this event. So he's just got 600 grand in grocery store rip-off cash and that his friend just ran. It's up.

Well, now we might need a wall. This is crows. Crazy. It's always a bad sign when the mental patient puts on a football helmet. Yeah. It's Geronimo. Yeah. So, yeah, he's a football player.

He's a giant. He's like from one from the cuckoo's nest. He's like that size. Yeah. He's what we call him Madden'sworth. That's right. Then they take a boat to upstate New York. Great.

Where they had a great time for a few. weeks until George has, sorry, Garrett has an idea, prove to himself that he could do more than just write phony checks and knock off gas stations. It's not about the money. Wants to take it up a level. Rob a bank. Yeah. Greedy.

Because if you are this type of criminal, you always need to push it, right? Even though George is... It's really, and I'm not even being a jerk off, it is how you get Epstein. It's people who are like, boy, we need the next fix. Yeah. So even though George is a dumbass and almost got them caught, they successfully robbed a bank in Montreal and got back across the border into the U.S. Great.

A couple months later, Garrett's good luck finally came to an end and he was caught. Garrett was sent by the state of New York to a Canadian prison, and he spent a lot of time in the library trying to be. to figure out some angle to get free. And sure enough, he didn't. The warden said I could go. Oh, yeah. You promised that he said that to you?

All right. Yeah. There you go, then. Okay, I'll see you letter, fellas. All right. All right. Thank you. What a nice guy.

I can't believe the warden let that, uh, that guy go. The warden, what? He didn't know. Whoa. Nobody's ever pulled that shenan again before. Oh, Canadians. Sweet Canadians. He learned it's technically illegal for an individual state to deal directly to a foreign country.

The federal government has to do it, not as individual state. So he got a Republican center. Okay, I say, right. So he gets a Republican center to make a really big deal out of it and taking... Always the Republican rub. Taking Democratic New York representatives to task for, quote, abusing an American national. How dare ye? That's a good boy.

How do you have broken luck and then cut to the Republican Party now? Sure, whatever he wants. When he was being transferred to a prison in the States, he was put on a plane back to New York where the FBI was waiting. But in what, it's just like a luck, pure magical luck. There was intense fog shrouding the air. airport and the pilot lands at the wrong gate. So there's no FBI agents at the gate and he just jumps onto the first flight out of JFK before

they could nab him. Oh my God. And within five minutes, he's headed to St. Louis. That's awesome. It sucks about St. Louis, but everything else is great. That is great. Isn't it? Yeah, the luck of just like, okay.

Oh, shit. What's the next flight out? Well, we'll be going to St. Louis at 645. You have one, please. Yeah, now, go. Say I'm a criminal on the run, and I want to be on the next plane out of this airport, which, which, and I'm not. I'm not. I'm just like, hypothetically.

Well, it would be St. Louis, but we're going to need to get a check. Do you want any cash back with that? Yeah, I'm just going to actually, I'm going to leave this blank for you guys. Sure. Yeah, and go ahead and fill out whatever you need. We have is $40,000. There you go. All right.

Thank you. Well, thanks so much. I get cash more cash back? Absolutely. You can take whatever you want. Everyone's an idiot in this time. Okay. None of this has ever been done before.

And you know what? You keep the tomatoes. Oh, great. No problem. Thank you so much. So he reconnects with Susan, but she had been waiting for middle of time and going through hell. She was alienated and kicked out of the house by Garrett's drunk mother. She was sexually assaulted by a cop.

And once they're reunited things, they're not the same. But they do love each other, but it's not what it was. It's fucking incredible for this guy to be able to still be, you know what I mean? Show up after all this and still be like, hey, babe. Well, she let me fuck her. They headed back and forth across the country where Garrett tried to return Susan to her mother. so she didn't get, like, caught up in the crime stuff that he's doing. Oh, okay.

How old is Susan? I don't know. Okay, but she's like a grown-up. Yeah, she's an adult. Yeah, yeah. I can just live on my own. It's important that I return you to your mom. You're what we call a go-back.

You're going to go back to your mom. I'm 34. Okay. Mrs. Anderson, your daughter, she needs to be safe here. I'm bad news. Uh, Susan refuses to let him. She's like with him no matter what. Right.

Now go on. Get out of here. No, nobody needs you. There's no reason for him to be here. Well, no, I'm still. Go. That doesn't make any sense. Look, nobody needs you.

Move. Now get. Are you still sticking around, huh? Wow. Maybe this is something. Jesus Christ. Trying to do. Right. Where are you going? Trying to do, trying to do right by error. He had an obvious ideal for a real business that would set them straight. So going straight. Something good.

Move to Baltimore. Perfect start. And start a farm. Yes, perfect area for a farm. Raising German shepherds. Oh, good. Yeah. No, definitely go to Baltimore and start a dog farm. To rent out as security dogs. Yeah, so new plan. Maybe this is the cocaine talking, but we're going to move to Baltimore, known for its ubiquitous farmland, and we're going to raise German Shepherds and rent them out to security firms. Okay. All right. Hell yeah.

I fucking love you. I remember when you had the cleaning business where you sent sold cleaning supplies? Yeah, too straight and narrow. We're going to grow dogs. How? Okay. People usually don't say grow dogs. German shepherds.

Okay. Security dogs. Okay. And we're going to rent them. To who? Security firms. Don't they already have them? They'll need more.

But why would they rent them? Because they don't want to buy them. So we will rent them. And at the end of the day, they will return them to us. At the end of the day? Or a weekend or, no, month. I don't know. I don't know.

I'm open to pitching. But what I am locked into is, Baltimore Farm German dogs and the rental. I think that's a very good start. It seems not. They'd run them for a week. We do them by the week. And then when they like them, they buy them,

and we keep them more dogs coming. Yes. Everybody likes it, hands in. Garrett. Yeah. Are you on cocaine? Yes, I am on a lot of cocaine. Okay.

But that's why the idea is working a lot. It's not working. Do more coke. Catch up with me. Okay. Oh, and we'll pull little saddles on them, and monkeys can ride them with guns. Yeah. Security firms don't like them.

Why would anybody want that? Because then they have extra protection. The future is monkeys with guns on the back of German Shepherds that we grow in Baltimore farmland. But wouldn't monkeys just shoot anybody? Yeah. No, you're right. Well, we'll need to swap the monkey brains. What?

With children brains. Jesus. We will put the bones. Brains of baby children in there. Yes. Everybody likes it hands in. Where do the monkey brains go? We'll make a man to a soup.

Come on. We'll make a man to a soup. I like the song. Hell yeah. Making them to a soup. Are we a band? We got a monkey brain soup. Did we just start a band?

I'm pretty sure we did. Sharks. What? My business is called German Shepherd Security Dogs. With child-brained monkeys with pistols on their backs. Wait, why did you say... This is a rental idea.

Why did you say sharks? What? He said sharks. Shark tank. I thought you were going to red sharks also. It's not a bad pitch. From water security. The question is, how do we get gills on a monkey?

And the answer is, razor blades. In less than two months, the business was almost, defunct. God damn it. I don't know where we turned wrong. It was such a good idea. Every part of this was airtight, perfect. But lucky for them, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by the FBI and RISE gripped the country. Now, that's not the official story, but let's be honest. Good news. Let's be honest. Civil rights leader. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. So the German Shepherd security dog business looks great again. Yes. Security, demand for security.

German Shepherd dogs skyrocketed. God. Overnight their business became a complete success. Just unbelievably stupid. This made Garrett feel kind of gross, so he used his new wealth to bring young black kids from the ghetto up to the farm to ride horses, swim, play with the puppies. Welcome to Guilty Pastures. Here in Guilty Pastures, black children can ride horses for free. No reason.

Welcome to camp I feel bad Unfortunately, the wealthy white neighbors Didn't appreciate seeing young black men so close to their estates Look, I'm trying to bridge a lot of gaps here So I need the black kids to come up here to ride the horses Because the assassination of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. Made my German shepherd dog So we're with you up until

the black kids come here and then we're not on the same page anymore, we're very upset about Martin Luther King. I think we all are. But I think that at the same time, I'm renting German shepherds to attack. At the same time, isn't it better? So I'm trying to undo that by inviting black children. No, I don't like. Will the, will the dogs be eating the black children? No, no. The children are here to sort of just cleanse my dog business. Yeah, we have a different idea for the word cleanse. Jesus Christ. I mean, you know what's fucking nuts is talking to someone who I think is crazy.

You know what? I'm just going to throw this out there. The HOA doesn't allow it. So thank you. I've been growing German shepherds. Well, first of all, no one says grow when they talk about dogs. What do you call it when, Two dogs fuck.

Growing. Next. Next question. So the neighbors called the cops. And Garrett defied them for a month. There is no better business to defy the police than a German Shepherd security dog business. How about this? I'll just let my dogs go.

Well, one morning he woke up to find that four of his dogs had been killed by a sniper. Christ. Well, I mean, this is the game. By the way, could snipers start to have some moral fibers? They're just pretty much set and forget. Now would be a good time. He packed up. It headed back with the now pregnant Susan to California.

This time, San Francisco. Okay. So he's got a... I like how they weren't working out. So they just decided to tour the country and, you know, have a family. Well, now they're going to live in the Bay Area, normal domestic married couple? For now.

No, no, this is going to last. He's going to get the edge. This time, we're going to hang in there. I need to rob a blimp. It worked for a few months. Yeah. But the paranoia returned. He feared FBI goons would show up at his door at any minute.

And when Susan had a pregnancy complication, he saw it as a bad omen and sent her to L.A., and he ran off to Shreveport, Louisiana. Oh, God. I just came back. from the doctor. There's something wrong with the baby. You need to go to Los Angeles. And here's what I'm thinking.

I'm going to go. I'm going to go to Shreveport. What? But now, I need you now more than ever. You get in L.A. I get close to the crawfish. Look, this is it. You got a devil in your womb. I'm going to Forrest Gump. It's the only way, you idiot. He went to Shreveport, Louisiana, because that's a place he had ever been.

There's a lot of those. Susan gave birth to Garrett Jr. Oh. Now, Garrett very much wanted to be there to meet the baby. Unfortunately, he couldn't. He couldn't. Because the FBI was actually there at the hospital waiting. Oh, they were.

They really were. So he's right. He was paranoid, but also they were there. Right. Garrett's plan was to go to, a new plan is to go to Mexico City, get settled, and then eventually bring down Susan and junior once he's got everything set up. Sure. But on the flight there, he fell asleep and woke up in Dallas with guns pointed at his head. Was that the connection flight or what?

I think that's the connection, yeah. Okay. He eventually ended up in an L.A. courtroom to answer for all of his crimes, dozens of theft and fraud charges. But Garrett has a trick up his sleeve. Well, my name's Jimmy Stewart. The only thing that could get him out of this, Greg Ross. Who? Greg Ross.

An attorney? He would use Greg to fool psychologists in quote, to quote, believing that he was a genuine Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde. Normally, a sane, honest man whose mind every so often was taken over by a sinister alter ego named Greg Ross. Now, look, most times I'm pretty good, but then sometimes at night I turn into Greg Ross. Evil grocery store, criminal. Why is it Jimmy's store? Because you gave me a hacky premise. Now I can keep beating it dead.

But a courtroom and appealed to their wiser senses. So Greg Ross was the Mr. Hyde. that comes out to commit the crimes and only the crimes and then Greg goes away. Right. After the crimes, he just wakes up and he's like, I got so much money. How did I get here with all this cash? Greg. No, Greg.

I got 40 German shepherds and money. Oh, God, what did Greg do this? It's like quantum leaping. Oh, no. What have I done? So Garrett works the psychologist through a masterful bout of manipulation and he doesn't. He made his shrink believe that

the entire crime binge had been a burst of a psychophobic mental illness and that he was now totally okay. The good news, Doc, I figured it out. I just have to stop allowing him into my body. The other, the Greg. Absolutely. And do you know how you can do that? I've just completely stopped it.

Okay. Yeah, I just said, no more. Well, congratulations. Thank you. You're free to go. Well, there is one thing. Sometimes at night I am taken over by another personality. Who's that?

Stop! A little guy comes out to play. What's a wonderful life indeed. So now there's the three of us. There's me, evil Greg, what I don't feel good about any of it either. It's very obvious. I should have never read that name. Come on.

We're having fun. It's good. It's like when I found out I had an Elmo. Uh, Elmo was amazing. Thank you. Garrett was found not guilty on all charges and strolled out of the courtroom, a free man. Wow. Gareth, the Dullup is brought to you by Pestie.

We have a back room, right, that fins in, a back separate from the house, like a little... An apartment. Used to be a garage. And so we got a spider situation. He woke up to the night. there's a spider running across them, which is never good. That's not a fun thing. Spider-Man.

So, we at the same time, happened to get into business with Pesty. Pesty came on board. And so I was like, Finn, I got this. So I got the little kit mailed to me. You just take the solution and you mix it up in a little bag and you pour it into a bottle. And then you spray. Spray outside. You like your own little.

Outside around. Yeah, you can also spray inside around the baseboards and stuff. And it was super easy. And I don't have to pay a million dollars to have a guy come do it. Yep. And then you're in charge of it, which seems pretty great. And it gets rid of 100 types of bugs. I mean, they are coming fast and furious nowadays.

They are. Well, especially ants in the summer here in California, because we had a real ant attack this summer. So I'm very happy that I have this. So you get a sprayer. You get to obviously the pesticide. You go spray a mixing bag gloves. And then instructions on how to do it.

And it's really easy. Like it's crazy, easy. You get started as little as $35 per treatment, a customized plan based on your location. That's the other thing. Climate, which is very helpful. It's kitten pet friendly. Obviously, I had pet. So that was a big part of this for me.

They're fully registered and have been, you. used in hospitals and schools all over the country. 100% bug free guarantee or your money back. And safe. You can set up in less than 10 minutes. It is so easy. I cannot say enough about how perfect this was for me

A couple days ago. That's a Mint update or what is that? Yeah, they sent out a Mint update and now your phone tastes like mint. Go ahead. No, no, it's Mintmobile.com slash dollop. That's Minnmobile.com slash Delop up front payments of $45 for three-month five-gigabyte plan required, equivalent to $15 a month. New customer offer for the first three months only, then full price plan options available.

Taxes and fees extra. C. Mitt Mobile for detail. All right. He settled down with Susan and Jr., but soon enough, as always. Greg. Got the itch. Greg.

Ready to go, baby. He sold the dog to a gorgeous showgirl slash topos go-go dancer slash hustler named Kathleen. Well, goodbye. And became obsessed with the idea of hustling the hustler.

Oh, interesting. I thought he was going to love the topless thing. He leaves Susan, who is pregnant again. Again. Promising her that it was just a financial situation, that he would be back for her and the kid soon. So he's like, I'm going to go off with this hot broad. I'm con in her.

But I'm taking all over money. I'm going to con. Honey, it's great. Yeah, I'm fucking doing all that stuff. But I don't want to. Why don't you just stay here with Garrett Jr. And the new child? So when a hustler meets a hustler.

Why don't you hustle? I got to hustle the hustler. There's other hustlers that aren't like super hot. There's a rule. There's a rule. If you come across the hustler with a great rack, you got to hustle them out of their pants. I mean, she's like, okay. I got to go fuck her to get her money.

You understand. I got to fuck the money out of him. You don't understand. Greg's going to fuck her. So he talks Kathleen into eloping with him to vague. Vegas, where he got her so drunk that he was able to convince her that they had gotten married. Is that a, that's like, that's like shitty hustling. Yeah.

Yeah, we got married. And I now get all your shit. Hey. Hey. Then he vanished on her with her credit cards, her power of attorney, and some cash. So he was really doing it. Yeah, he did it. And then he used one of her credit cards to rent a plane and fly to the Bahamas.

Hey, are you coming home soon? There's a new part of the plan I didn't tell you about. I bought a plane and I'm going to the Bahamas for a little while. Wait, why? I love you. And it's just all part of this whole thing I'm working on right now. This whole thing got a little crazy on me, okay, hon? Hey, how are the kids?

Is this new one out? Yes. Yeah, cool. Weeks ago. Ah, hell yeah. Oh, they got this punch up here that is so good. So anyway, yeah, I fake a loaf to that lady. I got her money.

Now I'm in the Bahamas because I bought a plane. I'm really excited to come home and see you again and meet that new one. All right, hon. I love you. Say it back. I love you. We're in poverty. All right.

Take care. You're going to love this plane. What? By the way, I met a woman up here. I got to take her money. I'm a merry or maybe. Bye, bye, bub. We eat mostly beans.

I'm hanging up. Okay. In the Caribbean, he met another dashing young con man. Oh, con man, okay. Roger Peterson. And they partner. And so they're basically fucking their way through the island's lady tourists. Sure.

And then in a jewelry store where Garrett was buying some jewels for his actual wife on his fake wife's credit cards. Can you just be honest? Yeah, go ahead. It is nice that he actually likes this first wife still. He does. A little bit occupational. Like, yeah, he could have totally bailed. I mean, yeah, he could.

It could have been a con. But clearly he's like out of his tits. But he is basically like, oh, man, I'm going to get Susan something nice from here. Hey, when was the last time he talked to it? It's been months. So he uses fake wife's credit card to buy his real life some jewels. But the shop owner refused him. she's like, she senses something

is off, right? What's her deal? I don't know. What's off? I mean, I don't know. Name one thing this guy did that was weird. Now he takes this as just the most horrible offense. Yeah, he's clutching pearls she didn't let him have.

Impulsively decided that he couldn't buy the jewels, so he's just going to take him. If you can't buy him, take him. Sloppy crime. He wants his first wife. Sloppy crime. So he waltzed into the store with his gun out and, calmly had the shopkeeper fill up a bag. See, this is sloppy.

This is how you do it. Most of his other things are longer cons. This is how you do it. Except for the grocery store stuff. And breaking out his friend. And a bunch of stuff before that. But still, he had the elope crime. He drove across the country robbing gas stations.

Yeah. Yeah, okay. But I feel like he graduated to something new when he eloped with that lady. He was bank robbing in Canada, like a series of banks. I'm saying he's gotten better. Why is he resorting to this? He escaped from the cops by hopping in his partner's running car and speeding straight to a plane and took off as the cops arrived at the tarmac. His plane, the plane he rented.

Right. Awesome. He evaded the FBI and Miami Police by performing a daring landing on an abandoned air strip literally under the radar. Hell yeah. And they hopped in a cab and took it all the way to Orlando, which, why would you? ever go to Orlando. Literally the worst, the worst,

the worst city of America. It's the worst city of America. Nobody's going there. No. No, there's worse ones. I just so disagree. Orlando's trash, but,

uh, Orlando's like, what if meth was a city? I mean, Florida's, if meth was a state, there's a lot of stuff. But the rest of Florida isn't in the middle,

at least the rest of Florida has like, oh, well, there's ocean. Well, there are parts of Florida that I'm, I'm okay with.

There are. But, But Orlando, you're right, it's trash. Then he got on multiple flights and ended up back in L.A. where they fenced the hall for around $20,000 each and kept the best jewels for themselves. Wow. That's a good little run. I mean, he's got a wife and two kids.

In Mexico? No, I think they're in L.A. In L.A. Okay. Now. Over the next two weeks, Garrett went back to Nassau, posing as a film producer. to get girls onto a rented yacht. Okay.

Well, what are you going to do? This is what you do. He was in the Bahamas. He sees yachts. He's like, I should be on a yacht with girls. Why? Just because he wants to be with girls. Yes.

What would you do? I mean, I'd probably tell the woman that I was with that, hey, I think maybe you should move on with your life because I'm going to be a real anchor for your heart. That's insane. Honey, I got to go on a boat and convince him I'm a film producer. For money? For fucking. So he captains the yacht through a deadly storm. These girls are like, why am we just going to go in the harbor?

Everyone, hold on tight. He seduced a young southern debutante. He compared himself to Captain Bly when captaining the yacht. I'm a lot like Captain Bly. I've done that. I'm like Captain Lye. That's what you do when you're captaining your phone. I'm very much a Captain Bly type.

Just like the way he would compare himself to Charles Lindberg when he was flying. Right. He ended up being caught again on the island for using a bogus credit card and he barely escaped by posing as a doctor with an emergency glide he had to get back to the states to treat.

There's no doctors near where my patient is. That's truly just the most insane. Excuse me. Out of the way. way. I'm a doctor. I have to get home. You can't arrest me. There's a man whose kidneys coming out. I have to take out one of my patient's gallbladders at once. He ends up marrying

the debutante. Now, he did that because he wants to hide out from the feds and he's going to do it by being in the world of southern aristocracy. Babe, good news. I think I'm actually safe for a minute.

I had to make some really, really quick adjustments. I have been crushing, by the way. Okay, so we have... Can you send some money? Well... Please? We're eating beans. I will soon, for sure.

Okay. My new wife is probably going to want me to show... Wait, what? The Vegas girl? Vegas girl. Who's that? The girl who you took her credit cards, you said... Oh, that was a fake alope. That was a fake alope.

You didn't marry her? I don't think I don't remember I pretty sure I didn't but I got her credit card And that's what got me to the Bahamas And then I fucked my way through that island What? Now I'm married to a

When you fucked your way through the island? Completely Completely And but but I left I left for I left because I love you As a matter of fact You're fucking selfish

What? What? Did you just call me a time suck? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Honey, honey honey honey That's a terrible nickname The reason why I the reason why, hold on.

Okay. I had to leave the Bahamas because I robbed the jewelry store. Okay. Because they wouldn't let me buy you jewelry. Can I have some money? I knew I was fucking in Vegas' credit card. Can I have some money, please? I'm getting there.

So then, remember when I went out on that boat? Yeah. I had to go out on that boat with all those women. Well, I've just fucking fucked and sucked my way through that vessel. I don't. But no, no, no. But then I, I, I, then the FBI, I caught up to me.

And thinking of you, the whole time, I married one of the Southern debuts. Now the FBI, I don't know what's going on. And so I'm going to make it back to you and our one child very soon. Two children. And figure this all out. But for now, I got to lay low with my new wife, who's awesome, by the way, and reminds me a lot of you. She's really hot and really young. I just feel like,

yeah. So I love you, I'm going to go. Because when you told me. I love you and I'm going to go. He said this isn't a good past. I'm going to go and I love you and I got to run. But I love you.

Also, the crimes you're committing. We should have a lot of fun soon once this all settles down. I'm really excited to settle down with you. All right. So enjoy Mexico. Can we go away on a vacation? We are on a vacation.

You kidding me? You should see this chick I'm banging. She's at 10. Okay. All right. I just need beans, though, for food. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that because that really pisses me off. Okay.

All right, bye. I love you. Okay. I love you. Jesus Christ. I love you. I heard you. Okay.

Okay. Later. Cricy. So her father owned a big factory. It was an elder statesman in the society scene. Garrett easily charmed them. He learned out of waltz as a boss. boy in Panama, so

he just needed that and his big charm to get in, right? He told the family he was in real estate and a few weekends a month he would go out of town on business, which meant robbing a bank in Canada. Man, fucking... I mean, this guy's life is insane.

He need, like, the fix, there's no drug that can give you this heart palpitation. So Garrett and Roger, flew up once a month. Garrett liked, Garrett liked robbing Canadian banks because the tellers were more docile, yeah,

followers of orders than the... Would you like our money orders, too? Yeah, the Americans were not like that. We also have some traveler checks. American clerks, you know, cowboy. Yeah.

Just pull a gun. Right. So Garrett robbed millions of dollars in traveler's checks and cash from at least a half a dozen banks, working his way up to number one on the Royal Mounted Police's most wanted list. Oh, he's number one. Oh, we're going for this guy here. Absolutely.

He's, uh, this guy's really something. This guy's an absolute. He's the Wayne Gretzky of, uh, banking, bank robbery. He's not been invented yet. They ain't invented, uh, Gretzky just yet. Gaudy Howe. That's closer. They called themselves Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Wow. And copyright infringement as far as all the other crimes. Very cocky. Wow. But also that doesn't end well. I believe it did. We're the body and Clyde. Garrett signed one hold-up note, Butch Cassidy.

They were tell a reporter they were doing the real thing while Newman and Redford were, quote, just acting. Yes. That was a movie. So when you say you're the real deal, they were acting. Mm-hmm. Right. But you're also, not them. But it's also based on real people.

Yeah. So you're right. Who were really doing it. Right, which makes you an actor to their story. I don't think that's right. Okay. Okay, but this was a terrible. Anyway, here's a million dollars.

Okay, thank you. Still, he's bored. What does he want? He needs to go to space. Well, he feels stuck in Southern High Society. Because he's married and he's with a family. Well, you know, her family. He's still.

man, work so demanding. I miss my wife. The real one. And then he comes clean to his southern wife, that he's a bank robber. How do you even start this? Honey, there's something I got to tell you. Exactly like that.

I'm married to three different people. I have gone to court. I created a guy named Greg Ross, who I blamed it all on. I was in the Bahamas, Robben. When I bought the yacht, started porking you, but I already got a wife and two kids. Now, Pizza Hut?

I don't think he comes skinned about the wife and two kids, but I bet he does it. I bet he does it by crying. Yeah. And being like, I'm so stressed out. I don't know what I've done. Yeah, totally. Yeah.

I'm so lost in my own son. I want to be good and you make me good. You're the reason I need to tell you. And you can fix me, honey. You make me want to live and be straight. Sometimes it's so hard to be made. No, okay. Like what?

What? Why? What's the note? Why? Oh, baby, don't you know it's so hard? I'm aware, Stuart. She, of course, is in love with him. There's a full moon.

She's in love with him, and no matter what, she's sticking by him. Right. Well, it would make me so happy, baby. To turn up the temperature, he'd bring her to Montreal where she'd stay in the hotel while he robbed Banks. Back in a little bit. Then they'd fuck on a giant pile of money. Don't hate it. Once on top of about a million.

I used to do that with my ballet money, but it wasn't enough. There's a couple of fives in here. Once on top. And it was jacking off. Once on top of about a million dollars in cash. Wow. That's pretty good. That is great.

But the itch. Gareth, the itch. What does he want? What does he want? While he's doing riskier and riskier things. And eventually. I'm a plane up my ass. Eventually, it ends up on him roaming a bank that was being watched by the cops.

Dude, he's just out of control. And he is arrested. Roger gets away. Roger was probably like, dude, do you want to like... Yeah, what are you doing? Call 911. Roger, come over to the room. I'm going to fuck my wife on top of this money, and you're going to watch.

The cops are going to watch, and I'm going to confess to everything. But something on happens once Garrett is in cuffs. he said he didn't feel bad he finally felt free freedom when he's caught he's got a minus back when he's caught he feels alive yeah right

free of lies and deceit free of the world that he built around himself the artificial fake world of lies free I bet there is something nice about that yeah there probably is he was treated like a celebrity by the Mounties, like the John Dilliger of Canada,

like this guy's the shit. One bank manager even stopped by to see him telling the press quote, I must say he was a perfect gentleman in my bank. That's very nice. Yeah, that's a compliment. He's no mask when he robs either. It doesn't sound like it. Why would there be?

The 70s. Yeah. And also for him, he was just like, Here's my name. I'm in room 502. So, claiming that he is insane, he was sent to a brand new maximum security mental hospital near Montreal. Hmm. And there he made a daring escape that involved a 1968 Mustang, a toy gun, and taking both a tiny warden and beautiful secretary hostage.

A tiny warden? Tiny warden. Hey, wait a minute. I'm the warden of this place. Look down, you son of a bitch. Now, wait a minute. You ain't going to get out of a hero name and the heart. What?

You ain't going to be allowed. There's rules. I can't. The first one was finding. Can you speak up or, I don't know, stand up? I'm saying, that's a boss. And I got out of this. That's the one.

I don't go out. How did you get his job? I think. I just think, I don't know. Well, my dad, he'd pay big news. Did I see you in Barham and Bailey's circus? Were you the littlest man? Did you go to sleep again?

And he takes a secretary? Well, so he posed, Roger posed as a lawyer and gave... These two are like... And came in and gave... They are. And he gave Garrett the toy gun. Oh. I'm his lawyer. He can have a pistol.

Oh, okay. Wait a minute. And the prison secretary was also hired by Roger, and they get out and they speed for the border with hostages. So they got, they fake secretary? Yeah. He just was like, and also, this is Sheila. She works here now. It might be a different secretary.

I might be confused about that. Okay. But unfortunately, just after he let the hostages go near Syracuse, he bought. he bumped into them again at the bus station. What? Whoa! What are the odds? Oh my God, I thought that was you.

Oh, my God. You were the guy who just took us hostage. I am. Sorry. What a small world. My apologies. You're the guy just took a hostage. Where did he go?

Oh, my God, I stepped on him. Well, I better put him out of his misery. Hi. Oh. So he was trying to hit the Western Union up for a moneywire, and the guard hostage had just flagged down a cop, and Garrett was arrested again. This time, he was sent to Miami to face charges for his dozens of crimes.

Well, I don't know where we should put a guy that gets easily stimulated by his surroundings and always wants to participate in crimes and sometimes drugs. let's put him in Miami That totaled up to $17 million has stolen money, checks, and jewels. Holy fuck. But with his record of insanity...

Remember Susan? We'll get back to her. So, yeah, he's got an incident. So they're like, well, he's clearly crazy. Yeah, the FBI sends him to shrink first because he has a history of insanity. Have I ever told you about Greg? Greg Ross rises up again.

Who's Greg? Meet Greg. Garrett said it was all, by the way, Greg has two G's on the end. Yeah. Of course he does, right? Hey, he likes money. Garrett said it was all Greg, and Garrett played the shrink like a fiddle and ended up walking out of prison scot-free after three months.

Take that you, motherfucker. Quote, life was exactly as he came to believe. Nothing really mattered and nobody really cared. This is like he. We are all in his simulation. Yeah. So there's really, why would you not do this? Yeah.

I mean, he's like walking around. Like, he's like Neo. Yeah. He can't be stopped. Yeah, he can't. He just goes. So what would he do? You know what I mean?

He's going to just like jack off all eating breakfast and a Denny's. And be like, what are you going to do? Put me in jail. I'll get out. But I don't know. With two G's. Like I get, okay, so he's saying he's this Greg Ross guy, but he's committed so many crimes and he'd be like,

well actually both you and Greg you and Greg have to be locked up yeah look unfortunately Greg is taking the steering wheel of the yeah a little too much of the project a little too often okay Greg's in you a lot now why a minute no that's not Greg no that's not Greg I'm not saying that's Greg and that's not you either I know there's a third why Jimmy Stewart the actor also lives in me he's the moral compass Greg's the bad guy This is what it goes like a lot. Hey, let's rob a bank and marry a debutante. Now, wait a minute, Greg.

You're not going to get away with that again. Jesus Christ. Nonetheless, Garrett pressed on. Now that he was free of the fear of being caught, he no longer needed to sit with his back against the wall at restaurants. He planned out a life on the straight and narrow. Yeah. Uh-huh.

Going clean, baby. Uh-huh. He stayed in a $40 a night Miami hotel and often had $1,000 in his pocket. He used his stolen loot to marry a gorgeous Canadian nurse from the maximum security loony bin. So he fell in, so this guy must be charming. That's one of the reasons that he can con people is he's clearly charming as fuck. Yes. Is he handsome?

He's got to be. I don't know. He's got to be. he bought a mega yacht with the help of a buddy in Los Angeles and he used it to charter the elites and lease a marina in Miami that he'd fix up and start raking in the dough and it worked.

He doesn't need any money. It worked for a day. It's not a long time. All you need. The yacht company had pulled a fast one. They robbed the robber. They claimed Garry. had stolen the yacht and no payment had gone down.

Ooh. Pretty good, right? Yeah. The company owner vanished. His car was found two days later at the Miami International Airport. This is the only thing that can get Garrett high at this point. I bet, yeah. He's just like, oh, yeah, I need to find this fuck.

Yes. Hell yeah. Garrett told the judge the money he used to buy the yacht was from a buddy who owned brothels in Mexico. That's just... Amazing to pay in front of a judge. So what are you saying? He ripped me off.

I took all the sex worker money that he got. He called them Jiz pesos, and I brought those to pay that guy. And he ripped me the fuck off. Also, I invented a guy named Greg who ain't even real. Now wait, there's a third person who could talk to you unless you rule in my favor. No, I know.

Come on. Now, wait a minute. No, okay. Guilty execution. You can call me guilty the whole system's on trial. With Garrett's record, the judge almost had no choice but to rule in favor of the company. This became big news when the marina company found out the real story of who they've been doing business with. And they booted Garrett out.

So now, Garrett, he's pissed. Yeah. He told the reporter, quote, I'm through playing it straight. I tried the straight and narrow for about 14 hours. I got fist fucked. Now I'm back. Greg's back, baby.

Watch out, Canada. Of course. Because at this point, he had been arrested for major crimes over 20 times and served a total of two years. So now he becomes obsessed with his own death. Oh, my God. He's pulling robberies that were beyond risky, not careful. hearing it all if he's caught, longing for a shootout with police. I mean, that's a great way to live, honestly.

He can't take the fact that he got bested. Yeah. It's making him insane. Right. Making him? Well, he was fine before that. That's true. He can't eat, he can't sleep.

He thought, he just thinks about ending his own life. It's always thinking about it in the most spectacular way, not like, like a Garrett way. He's got to go out big. Then he caught a headline. A man from Brockton, his hometown, the one named after his family, had hijacked a plane, and after landing it was killed in a gun battle with the feds. And so Garrett is like, I have my way out. That's pretty good.

That is great. And the year-wise, we're in the 70s. This is when hijacking. There was a hijacking era that was nuts. This is it. Right. Yeah. People don't.

I, it was probably right around, maybe. right before I was born or right around there where it was like, hijackings were very common. Oh my God, it was all the time in the early 70s. It was like, it's like how you got to fucking Vegas. He taped his Walter Pissile below his elbow and built a fake cast around it,

making it seem like... The fake cast also a big player back then. Well, let him go. His legs broken. Oh my God, there's nine swords. Oh, my God. He takes a cast. Full body cast.

Well, go ahead, sir. Okay. That's how I got $40 million worth of cocaine across the border. So he takes a cab to L.A.X. And he walks right up to the TWA desk and bought a one-way ticket to New York in cash. Okay. In his seat, he asked the flight attendant for a stationary kit. A stationary kit.

Writing. Oh, right, right, right. Imagine when they had that. Yeah, oh, God. May I have a stationary kit, please? Absolutely. It's journaling. Everyone's riding on this flight.

It's one of the best ways to make the time go. Now, would you like to plug in your headphones and listen to one of the two radio stations we provide? No, thank you. I'm going to stare at the back of the seat. Okay, dokey. That'll be six hours until where we're going. Perfect. He wrote, quote, you are being hijacked.

You are being, okay. Act naturally and lead the way to the cabin. Act naturally. Oh, so what is that? A little story you're writing? I have a pistol and there is a bomb in the aircraft. Who is this from the first person P.O. Jesus Christ.

So what is this? It's a fucking note. I'm hijacking the plane. And the character you're writing. It's for you. It's not a character. The story resonates with me as if it's me writing it to you. A couple of reasons.

No. The character is of strong choice, which I really like from my mains. It's just the POV. I think you're getting to the action too quickly. Oh, God, I just like it killed. So maybe if you start to lay the foundation a little bit. I just want to die. How is this guy?

How did this start? Where's he from? I'll bring you over some supper. Blow it up the plane. You can think about it a little bit more. He tore off his... Captain, this man is a story he'd like to meet you. He tore off his cast.

I think it needs some work. Tor off was cast and showed the stewardess the note. And she, trembling, walked him to the cabin where he pulled out his pistol. it's real now wait and then also like oh where are we going where we were going before i just want to die when we landwether's are the most cops yeah the captain had been in the situation before as hijackings were a bit of happening last week they're a fad i mean they're literally a fad um and so he's calm and he complies with garrett's requests so with the gun in hand he says quote gentlemen i don't want to use this i'd rather not even hold it if you will give your word of honor

that you will not do anything foolish i'll put it back in my belt it will be handy but it won't be dangerous okay and they agreed they're like yeah okay yeah you know better than the gun pointed at me yeah so uh he's patched into a landline on the ground and he gives his demands he wanted to talk to the president That is a good one It's a great first one Yeah Very good

By the way Any list should start with that Get me tricky dick He wanted Now you hold on there He wanted He wanted $306,800 You're confused

Yes That was the exact amount The yachts He was ripped off In the yacht deal So he's obsessed He's obsessed with the yacht deal. It's yacht rot.

The yacht deal has sent him fucking spinning. Oh, man. Because he got bested by himself. Very easily, too. Yeah. He also wants George Padilla released from prison. And he wants Angela Davis freed from all charges. And while we have you on the phone,

you want to see your wife and two kids? What? Which? Oh, Susan, you have a... Susan from L.A. Garrett Jr.? Yeah. Oh, fuck.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. No, I don't think they should see me like this. We're probably going to kill you at the airport. Yeah. So then they shouldn't be there.

Actually. Okay. Actually, yeah, let's have them there. Okay. That might be good. Okay. Yeah. And by the way, the president's on the phone.

Hey, Triggin' Dick. Hello? God damn it. What's this all about? Um, So he, with all this action going on, he's something doesn't feel depressed anymore. Like he's like, yeah. Yeah.

Life, baby. So they landed JFK to refuel, hoping to fly to a country in Europe with good extradition laws. That's where they're looking to fly him. I think so. They're refueling in JFK, so they're going to be grounded. They all know he's doing this. And then they're going to fly to Europe. And the FBI is like, take him to Frank.

because the extradition law is there. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Or appealing. Instead of like, hey, he's at JFK. Should we get him? No, no, no.

Fly him to France. Then we'll get him. Then we got him. But the FBI is stalling him. And he made the choice to give up his own leverage by releasing the hostages on the plane because it was the noble thing to do. So he's going to do the suicide thing.

Right. But first, he ordered that they all get as many drinks as they wanted on the house. Um, what? Let's party! Before I let you all go, let's have a few cocktails. Let's dance. I met a woman. I really like her.

It's awesome. The FBI connected him to a shrink. He'd spoken to a couple years before to further stall him. Greg, I know it's you. And I need to talk to you. This is Dr. Shapiro. And this is Dr. Jenkins, and I need to talk to Garrett. Okay.

Well, there's always... Only one. Who is this? My name's, well, heck, my name's James. But sometimes I get forgotten in this little story. Well, I wish you were, actually, yeah. I get that. We don't have another shank here to talk to you.

Hold on, hold on. Nobody wants to talk to you. Hold on. Hold on. You are. I'll be quiet. Now, be quiet. I'm trying to.

Devastatingly. Try to get a, try to get a story out about it. Devastatingly. You make no sense. I make all that. Now, how dare you say that to a man like me? Never. I'm a guy who even hijack this little jumbo.

Has a podcast ever ended in death? Well, probably the best way for this one. Can if you ask me. Awful. The shrink asked Garrett why he was doing this. Quote, well, Dr. Hubbard, I can tell you why these. These guys take planes out of this damn country. I'll tell you right now.

And I hope the whole damn world is listening in. These correctional institutions and rehabilitation centers, they don't even try to correct anybody. They don't build anything. They don't build. How dare he? They don't build character. And they don't build judgment. How dare he?

How dare he indict the mental health system? The system is on trial. All he's done is mocked it and fucking take it advantage of it. Because he can. And you know what? That is kind of, I guess, what he's saying. But it's also the idea that he's sitting here going like, rehab doesn't work. But this is Trump when he's just like.

Yeah. Yeah, of course I paid off politicians because everything's corrupt. Yeah. Of course I cheated on my taxes. That's how I got you. But you shouldn't be allowed to. You rob a man of five years of his life and he comes back in a society. without having left anything for himself.

Let me tell you something. More people die for the system than die in Vietnam. I mean, he's right. Sure. He's right about that. Yeah. Garrett agreed to switch. You know, the Vietnam thing really tripped up a lot of their stuff.

It did. It's really unfortunate. Garrett agreed to switch out of the crew for, out, switch out the crew for fresh bodies who are ready to fly internationally. It's just all a bunch of clear FBI agents. Yeah. Hi, I'm Dolores. As they entered the plane, Garrett had the co-pilot check them one by one for weapons.

And the captain arrived. Then the co-pilot. Then an engineer, something's off about that engineer. The engineer's uniform had three stripes, which is a captain's uniform. And Garrett knew in the moment that this was an FBI plot to kill him. How, first of all, adept he is at this and how stupid is the FBI? Well. Put an engineer in a captain's outfit.

They're pretty stupid. What? It was too late. The fake engineer pulled the gun and shot Garrett through the hand, the arm, and the neck, and he crumpled to the ground. His last words... Fuck that yacht guy! The last words he heard were, quote, Pull down his pants so he can't run away.

What? That was with the FBI yelled. Pulled down his pants so he can't run away. And while you're down there... Well, it looks like it's all curtains for old Garrett. Garrett survived. What? I just won't die.

And then he went through a grueling trial. Garrett's defense was that he had not been the hijacker. The hijacker was Greg Ross. We got to get Greg out of me. By any means. The prosecution conspired with the judge. They used phony doctors as experts, and they totally overplayed their hands. So they fucked up royally.

And the feds got to George Padilla, and he testified for the prosecution for a lighter sentence. So his little big... He testified for the prosecution or the defense? George Padilla turned and testified for the prosecution. Okay. So in a miracle, one single juror smelled something fishy about the way the government was handling the case. We got to have one of these guys everywhere. She was a sweet old lady.

I don't think he did it. And she was viciously harassed by the other jurors for taking her principled stand. No, he didn't do it. It's that evil Greg. And she held on and a mistrial was declared. Fucking hate. This is so bad for him. Turns out six...

This is fight club. He's been shot in the throat. He's invented alter egos and he just... It's his simulation. Yeah. It turns out six days before. Garrett had told the reporter, it would be a mistrial

and said the same lady who held out would hold out. So he was working her. What, like eye contact wise? He was just like, hmm. Oh, my God. It seemed as though he would walk yet again, but not if Richard Nixon had anything to do with it.

Ah, the, uh, is crime and punishment. 1972, and Tricky Dick is running for re-election and all about... Law and order. Law and order. Got to be law and order. Without law, there's no order. By the way, I'm an alcoholic eating cream cheese all day. The government was, also worried if he could get away with the hijacking by pleading Greg Ross, it would lead to more

hijackings of people saying that they... By the way, to be fair, Richard Nixon far more out of his mind than Garrett. Yeah. The government quickly went about a retrial and found him guilty, he got life in prison. Even when it was found out that a witness was lying, that Garrett had uncovered a prior family history of mental institutionalization, which would have helped his insanity case, the government refused to hear an appeal. And Garrett Trappano was finally put away in prison. In 1976,

writer Elliot Asimov published the book The Fox is Crazy to the true story of Garrett Trappnell. Adventure, Skyjacker, bank robber con man. Barbara Oswald

42 read the book. She also also watched him on 60 minutes when Garrett said he was fascinated by the story of Papillon, a French prisoner who escaped from Devil's Island. So she went to see him in prison and immediately fell in love with him. A month later, she attempted to hijack a helicopter to free Garrett from prison. It's airborne. It's contagious.

Whatever he has. Marion, Illinois. Wow. She was shot to death during the attempt. Garrett was convicted a few... He was so jealous. Yeah. Gare was convicted a few months later for attempting to escape.

Barber's daughter, 17, a cheerleader named Robin, dropped out of high school. Friends said she then met with Garrett and they exchanged letters. The next month, on December 21st 178 Robin Oswald boarded a TWA D-C-9 and after takeoff

she stood up and said she had a bomb and would blow up the plane and the 87 passengers if Garrett-Brock-Trapnel was not freed. The plane landed in Kansas City where Robin and the FBI negotiated for 10 hours until she surrendered.

She was arrested. It was not dynamite, but road flares with a doorbell attached. I mean, equally bad. Garrett spent the last 20 years of his life in prison, quote, where he read, wrote, painted, and studied Swahili, German, and Italian. He died in 1993 of emphysema.

Even though it had landed him several 30-day stints in the hole, he never once ratted out his former accomplice. Fuck, man. Fuck, can you imagine getting a mother-daughter hijack combo? That is like, that is nuts. Josh Androsky did this. And then I just happened to be looking at newspaper stories, and I was like, Josh. The mother-daughter?

You're not going to believe what I fucking thought. At the end, there's a mother-daughter combo. That whole story is absolutely insane. It's fucking bananas, but it's so like. It's awesome. It's so like that time period, like where you could just go wild. Yeah. No, it's like being a crypto bandit now.

This book is not for sale anywhere. I had to find a used copy and pay a ton of money for it. Why? Because it should motivate all of us to get out there. Yeah, right? I don't know. Blame Greg Ross. I mean, that should be like the anonymous mask of that.

It'd just be like Greg Ross. Like, how is this not on Kindle? Like, it's... How is this not a mini-series? Right? Yeah. You, we talk about pitching show. Like, this is prime.

That is fucking awesome. Isn't that crazy? That is awesome. Well... Everybody loses. I don't know. He kind of won. He did win.

And you know, there is another character that won. Would you, I'm going to ignore that. Would you, would you rather live a brief life of just total fucking chaotic fun? The burnout or fade away. Like 15 years of total chaotic fun or a long life of boring. Oh, yeah. I mean, I love boring, but honestly, let's go. I think I would take the chaotic fun.

Yeah. Yeah. It all ends at the same place. It's all dirt anyway eventually. I don't know about that. It is. You're worm food eventually anyway. I'm not going to be worm food.

You are especially going to be worm food. As a matter of fact, I put pinworms in your soda. You fucking already worm food, dick, Ed. Well, we'll say you all lighter. Hey, what's up, Dollheads?
