Hold onto your valuables fatheads, we’re talking heists today!
Hold onto your valuables fatheads, we’re talking heists today!
Speaker 1 0:00
So Alyssa, I was on a trip a while ago, earlier this year, and I had a connecting flight. I was kind of close, and I'm one of the, like, spazzy people about it, and so I was trying to get off quickly, and the guy sitting next to the aisle, I was like, Oh yeah, can I get up? And he's like, Sure. And then he scooted back. So I was like, Oh, I guess I need to, like, walk around him. I guess that's what he's doing. And so I started to do that. And he was like, Hey, wait a minute. You feel like you have to help me before I help you, or something like that. But anyway, I just misunderstood his body language, I guess He was just trying to get his seatbelt undone and walking on top of them.
Unknown Speaker 1:07
So yeah, I felt a little embarrassed by that, but yeah, I whenever I travel, I freak out about layovers if I have an hour or less, but I don't think that I need to be panic anymore. I'm trying to learn I don't travel a lot anyway. Welcome to nervous laughter podcast.
Welcome, you know, I would say maybe you should panic more, because there's like one air traffic controller in the whole country basically. Yeah, now may actually be the time to panic?
Speaker 1 1:41
Yeah, and we did. I did actually go on a trip just a couple weeks ago. Went to Taipei. It was super cool. I don't have anything like cringey to share about the trip, but there was a really cool thing I haven't told you about this yet. I don't, I don't think I went to a little pizza place, and the pizzas were interesting. You know, they weren't like, American pizza. It was like, I had like, a bacon maple pizza. Oh, but they had one of those little like robots that like the food and stuff, little waiters, and it was playing on the way to the tables. It was playing Kendrick Lamar reincarnated, and then on the way back from the tables, it was playing,
Unknown Speaker 2:37
oh my god, sing it for us.
Speaker 1 2:47
Us the motherfucking deal, double cheese, dog, the next episode, the next episode, which was great, because sometimes it would like, stop and it wouldn't go back immediately. So just sit there and like, play the next episode. And it was just like me, and just like a family there and their little kids,
Unknown Speaker 3:06
like, it was great.
Unknown Speaker 3:10
But yeah, so
Unknown Speaker 3:11
I was
Speaker 1 3:12
recently on a plane, and I was kind of scared, because I was like, should we even travel with the stuff going on? I was like, you know, what better to travel now than two weeks from now or three weeks? Yeah, so gotta get it done with and it was business for Brandon, so it wasn't like we were just like we were gonna go, Yeah, have fun while the government shut down. I worked during a shutdown. I mean, I don't know about everybody else. I'm talking about the government, not not not you people. I
Unknown Speaker 3:41
love you people. Yes,
Speaker 2 3:45
well, I love our podcast, and it's always on my mind. I'll do the the young people
Speaker 1 3:53
heart. Oh, yeah, there's so many heart variations. Now I also do that with the middle finger feel
Speaker 2 4:01
like I can't do it and I don't like it. The Yeah. I guess the one we're trying to do is like the pointer finger and middle finger, and then you curve it, yeah, and then the middle fingers come to a bottom point.
Speaker 3 4:13
I started doing that one, um, probably because I
Speaker 1 4:21
maybe don't want to feel old. I don't know. Because every time I've seen like, on the Yeah, like, you know the
Speaker 2 4:26
two linear heart hurt, people are like, you're older, they're like, so much better, though. I mean, like, I feel like I this one has weird angles. Yeah,
Speaker 3 4:35
it kind of does, yeah. The one with both your hands is more like, round, Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 4:41
that one's more angular.
Unknown Speaker 4:43
Anyway, the kids just have to try to be different.
Unknown Speaker 4:45
It's true.
Speaker 2 4:47
But I was at Michael's getting some stuff for my Halloween costume, and I was about to check out, and I usually don't look at the shit near the checkout, because it's just like candy. That's like, yeah. $100 but something caught my eye. It was pretty much an empty pill. I was
Unknown Speaker 5:06
wondering where you had the candy,
Unknown Speaker 5:13
and I found this.
Speaker 2 5:21
Try it. Yeah, it was so funny because, like, this wasn't in a box or anything. It was just sitting on the shelf, and there was nothing else on the shelf.
Speaker 1 5:29
Oh, weird, funny. If they're like, we don't even sell that candy, man,
Unknown Speaker 5:34
it rang up. It
Speaker 2 5:35
was only a couple dollars. I was I was pleasantly surprised. Oh, it's yellow and green, yes. So just to refresh our memories, we have snotter Melon and that's the darker green. Okay, sour green Boogie is the lighter green and the yellow is slime apple. Like,
Speaker 1 5:55
tell two colors from here, yeah, it almost sounds like a start of, like a, I don't know, like a movie where kid finds magical beans or something,
Unknown Speaker 6:03
okay?
Unknown Speaker 6:06
And just so,
Speaker 1 6:08
you know, fat heads, it was kind of hard to tell the difference between the dark and light green. But
Speaker 3 6:13
I think it's just because we work in more darkness.
Speaker 2 6:18
Okay, so which one do you want to try first? Do the yellow. The yellow is slime apple. I like it. Yeah, I like it too. It's chewier than I thought. Oh, it kind of has a weird after taste. It's kind of like ear wax, or what your wax smells like. I don't eat might
Unknown Speaker 6:36
be the booger.
Speaker 3 6:39
It's like a familiar taste, but I can't like name which candy I've had before. It tastes like that.
Unknown Speaker 6:46
Okay, well, slime Apple is pretty good.
Speaker 2 6:52
Let's do snotter Melon next. That's the dark green, all righty.
Unknown Speaker 6:58
I like it. You do.
Unknown Speaker 7:00
I love artificial watermelon flavor.
Speaker 2 7:04
They're larger than I thought they would be. Like, this would be a big ass booger. Oh, yeah, damn,
Speaker 3 7:09
this would fuck your shit out of your nose. It's a maybe about the size of a peanut Eminem, maybe, would you say a little bigger? Maybe? And then our last one is sour green boogie. Okay, tastes like a sour apple kind of kind of deal. I would say that one's probably my favorite. The watermelon reminded me, and this is probably just most artificial watermelon candies, but, uh, like, uh the warhead watermelon. Oh
Unknown Speaker 7:43
yeah, I do, like
Speaker 1 7:45
I used to um, because I used to, sometimes I just hated uh them, so I are just slacking all the sour off. So I just dip it in water try to get some of it off.
Unknown Speaker 7:57
Like, some more boogers
Speaker 1 7:59
for now. Thank you. They were, they were pretty good. I will say that are than expected, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 8:06
yeah. I liked that.
Speaker 2 8:09
They were that kind of like harder gummy that did not seem like an actual booger at all.
Speaker 1 8:17
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chewier gummy. It's got some heft to it, yes.
Speaker 2 8:22
So thank you to the podcast gods for putting that in my path. Yeah, on
Speaker 1 8:28
just like, not even where it was supposed to be, yeah, like,
Unknown Speaker 8:31
just imagine, like,
Unknown Speaker 8:35
a light coming out from behind.
Unknown Speaker 8:38
That's pretty much what happened.
Unknown Speaker 8:41
Hold on. Just love the name
Speaker 1 8:43
snotter Melon. That's That's very funny to me. Yeah, they did a really good job on the naming. I'm curious what other candies that companies makes. We'll have to look it up later. Yeah,
Speaker 2 8:53
it's called Flix candy, F, l, i, x, d, rocks, favorite term for movies, flicks. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1 9:01
it's, I haven't heard people call them flicks like you guys were talking about that, and I was like that. Oh, which? Speaking of nightmare signal podcast, check it out.
Speaker 3 9:10
You want to say anything about it? Oh, you don't have to.
Unknown Speaker 9:17
I don't know what it's about.
Speaker 2 9:21
Yeah, spooky podcast. Her friend D rock Jamie's gonna be on with us soon, so that'll be cool. I talk about movies and just general spooky stuff. So
Speaker 1 9:35
Halloween, what's up with Halloween this year? What's up with
Unknown Speaker 9:38
Halloween? So check that
Unknown Speaker 9:41
out. It's fun. It's good.
Unknown Speaker 9:45
And speaking of
Unknown Speaker 9:48
spooky, I guess
Unknown Speaker 9:51
recently there was a heist in the
Speaker 3 9:53
louver. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 9:58
I don't know if. Like, you've heard much
Speaker 2 10:01
about it. Know About you fatheads? Either? No, I did see a girl posting a video, and she was kind of like, posing or something, and the security guard was like, no, stop recording. So I don't know if, like, maybe they're tightening up their security because of that, and that's why that happened? I don't know.
Speaker 1 10:21
They might be tightening up their security. I did read just a tiny bit about it later, but it sounds like this heist kind of exposed how shitty their security is. Oh, cool. Just lacking,
Unknown Speaker 10:37
which you would be surprised
Unknown Speaker 10:40
have some snotter Melon type security,
Speaker 1 10:45
I don't know. I just imagine, like a, like a stupid ball security guy just in his nose, yeah, but yeah, so I'm going to go through that heist kind of briefly. And then it reminded me. I was like, Oh yeah, there's a couple other interesting heist
Speaker 3 11:06
back in the day that might be fun to talk about. And I'm sure there's more. If you can think of any, write us in, let me know. We'll research it and stuff. Is The Thomas Crown Affair? You know that movie? Is that about
Speaker 2 11:19
this a specific museum, or is it like a fictional Do you know that movie? No, okay, it's like this guy that goes and steals a painting, and I can't remember which guy it is, but it's a guy that I've always thought was a total DILF, and I can't remember which one it is now, but yeah, this DILF, like still steals a painting. And, yeah,
Speaker 1 11:45
maybe based on, like, a true story, though, familiar with the movie, but okay, but I think there were definitely cases where paintings are taken, and I think, I don't know if I'm thinking of a movie I watched, but yeah, I think that they just, I think there was at least one where they just, like, cut it straight out of the fucking frame.
Speaker 2 12:05
Oh, go ahead. Oh, sorry. I was just gonna look up Thomas Crown Affair because now
Unknown Speaker 12:14
it's from 1999
Unknown Speaker 12:16
oh yeah, what is the still name?
Speaker 3 12:19
Oh, shit. Sorry. No, you're good. Pierce Brosnan,
Speaker 2 12:25
Oh, he did. James Bond, yeah. Well, it doesn't quickly tell me if it's based on a true story.
Unknown Speaker 12:34
So sorry. This was
Speaker 2 12:37
this added nothing to the podcast. No other than that I find Pierce Brosnan attracted.
Unknown Speaker 12:46
So sorry. Now I'm thinking of Pierce Brosnan.
Speaker 1 12:54
I'm just like, what else have you played in that I've seen before? So, oh, yeah. So we, I'm just gonna do a quick, kind of run through of of the loop heist. So if you've, you know, if you've already kind of listened to it and don't want to hear about it, just fast forward a little bit. Most of this came my information came from ABCs news.
Unknown Speaker 13:19
I, I went
Speaker 1 13:20
with them because they had, like, a really good layout of just the timeline, because this whole thing just happened in like, maybe seven minutes, I think, oh yeah, it was very quick. Quick in and out. Don't, don't ask for a quick yes, for a loop, height.
Unknown Speaker 13:42
Oh. So it's 9:30am
Speaker 1 13:45
in Paris, France on October 19, five a truck with a bucket lift pulled up into onto the sidewalk on one of the corners of the louver before
Unknown Speaker 13:58
the Apollo gallery.
Speaker 1 14:02
I guess I'm gonna be talking like about this, like everyone knows the layout of the louver. I also don't, so just go with it. You said 2025 right? Yeah. So this was just like seven, couple weeks ago. Gotcha, okay, um, at 9:34am two burglars were disguised as construction workers, and they ascended the lift to the second floor, where they used an angle grinder to cut through the window into the Apollo gallery. They used the angle grinder to smash into two of the jewelry display cases and stole eight pieces that belonged to Emperor Napoleon and his wife. There was a crown owned by Empress Eugene that was found damaged outside of the louver, and it was said to be crushed in the process of the robbers removing it through the through a crack that they made in the glass.
Speaker 3 14:56
Uh, yeah, so they dropped that, or just took what they wanted, and. Abandoned it. I guess the
Speaker 1 15:03
museum alarm was triggered at 9:37am the burglars proceeded to escape down their bucket lift, which was a little slow, because they have a video of, like, all of this too, but yeah, I mean, it's just like, like, yeah, how slow those little help, those little buckets move. And it's funny because you can see them like looking looking around like I want to get out.
Speaker 3 15:30
So yeah, it was moving slow, but once I reached the bottom, they hopped on a couple scooters and got away. The Louver closed at 10:37am
Speaker 1 15:42
and an investigation began leading to an arrest of two suspects a week later. One suspect was trying to board a plane the night of October 25 and the other was caught the following day, getting ready to travel to malai, when
Unknown Speaker 15:59
I got some information from BBC,
Speaker 3 16:01
I'm just going to kind of read what they put
Speaker 1 16:05
the museum's director told French senators this week that only that the only camera monitoring the exterior wall of the louver where they broken was pointing away from the first floor balcony that led to the gallery of Apollo, which is the one they broke into. CCTV around the perimeter was also weak and aging. They had a bunch of old shit, like I was listening to someone talk about it, and they said that there was like an old, I don't know if it was like a director security or head whatever, but they joined, and they're like, hey, we need to update some of this stuff. It's really old, it's crazy, and then they're fired, if I remember correctly. Don't quote me on that, but just to show that, like it's been around shitty security around for a long time. No one's doing anything about it. But yeah. So this meant that, you know, they were unable to spot and stop the people fast enough. And experts have also expressed concerns that the jewels may have already been broke up in 200
Unknown Speaker 17:14
pieces. No, no
Unknown Speaker 17:18
laugh, but I just thought about,
Speaker 2 17:21
I think it's in the second Wayne's World where they're like, running away, but they're like, wearing the costumes, and they, like, run into that gay club and they're all doing YMCA, oh, I
Unknown Speaker 17:33
didn't remember that,
Speaker 2 17:37
running from the bucket. And like, going to do that with Wayne Campbell,
Unknown Speaker 17:46
because you gotta steal jewels today.
Speaker 3 17:53
Um, so, yeah, that was just kind of like a brief, kind of rundown of the recent move, heist.
Unknown Speaker 18:02
Fun times.
Unknown Speaker 18:07
So they just stole
Speaker 2 18:09
jewelry, and then the crown kind of was on the ground, like they dropped it or didn't care about it. Yeah, yeah. So they if, if you count the crown, it's nine pieces. But from what I read, they got away with eight pieces. I didn't know that they had jewelry. I just always pictured it was paintings, oh, like, art and stuff. I kind of
Speaker 1 18:28
thought that too, but, um, but, yeah, they have a lot of, uh, I guess, like, historical kind of pieces and stuff. And I guess, since it's jewelry,
Speaker 3 18:35
you can call it art, Yeah, true. Um, and there was,
Unknown Speaker 18:43
Oh, something else I heard was that their
Speaker 1 18:49
insurance so they don't have insurance on the pieces, which I guess kind of makes sense, because if you think about it, like you could internally, like the museum, internally, could make it look like something was stolen and claim the insurance or something like that. So that's why they don't have insurance, unless the piece is like actively being transported or or something like that,
Unknown Speaker 19:13
which I don't know if
Speaker 1 19:17
it getting stolen activates insurance or something. But yeah, it just sucks. And it also just kind of makes me think of whenever you see, like, just on social media, it's like, tourist in this country broke this priceless vase or something, and it's
Unknown Speaker 19:36
like, yeah, it's historical.
Unknown Speaker 19:40
Things just being fucking ruined forever. It's crazy,
Unknown Speaker 19:45
but this did make me think of a couple other
Speaker 3 19:49
robberies of museums that I thought would be pretty interesting to talk about. Yes, so the first one, um. I guess I'm debating if I want to tell you what I titled it or not, because it'll, it'll give away what he stole. But it doesn't really matter. So this is a bird heist. Oh, like a living bird. No, unfortunately, all specimens
Unknown Speaker 20:19
great American tit or something.
Speaker 1 20:23
Actually, they they listed a few of the names of the birds that he stole, but there was not any like tits or boobies or peckers, so I didn't copy the names down, but um, so this is, uh, Edwin wrist. He was a flutist, or flutist and fly, a fish fly, sorry, a fish fly tying enthusiast since he was a young child, and he was well known in that community by the age of
Unknown Speaker 20:54
15. Oh So
Speaker 1 20:58
when he was older, he moved from the US to the UK after being accepted into the Royal Academy of Music,
Unknown Speaker 21:05
of course, playing his flute
Speaker 1 21:11
that sounded like derogatory or like Something
Speaker 2 21:18
fucking flute player does sound like a slur. I do picture him wearing, like an old fashioned suit and then, like a shirt with like a little ruffle tie, yeah? Like a ruffle or like a tide thing,
Unknown Speaker 21:40
little fancy man, yeah,
Speaker 3 21:43
um, when he moved to
Speaker 1 21:47
the UK, he left his fly tying supplies behind and struggled financially after his move, and wanted to enjoy his intense interest again
Unknown Speaker 21:56
and to sell A fluffy shirt with
Speaker 1 22:00
me was my in 2009 he posed as a photographer and visited the National History Museum's bird collection and took pictures of what he planned to steal, the locations of them, the hallways, entrances and exits to the museum, all to help him with his break in plan, which he did save in a Word document on his computer titled in all caps, plan for museum invasion On June 23 2009 he performed a concert in London, playing his flute, of course,
Unknown Speaker 22:46
fucking loudest, fucking loudest. And
Speaker 1 22:51
then I took a train to the museum. Afterwards, using a glass cutter, he broke into the museum with a large suitcase and stole. Do you want to guess how many bird specimens he stole,
Unknown Speaker 23:02
15, 299
Unknown Speaker 23:05
in a suitcase. It
Speaker 1 23:07
must have been a comically large suitcase. Wow. Or I guess also, I don't know how tiny some of these birds were, but for some reason, I imagine them all being like crane size,
Speaker 1 23:22
like a most of the specimens stolen were brightly colored adult males. It wasn't until it would be
Unknown Speaker 23:40
brightly colored male bird,
Unknown Speaker 23:47
sick of these flowers
Unknown Speaker 23:51
our country,
Unknown Speaker 23:53
one bird at a time.
Speaker 1 24:01
It wasn't until a month later that the missing birds were noticed and an investigation was started, which is kind of crazy, but that makes me think that, because it says it was a collection, and he posed as a photographer, so I guess they were back in a like, closeted, like, I've watched some videos of natural history museum, and they have all kinds of just like, storage. Areas with drawers, and then they're swapping all kinds of shit, yeah, or just keeping on to hold of it for just, you know,
Speaker 3 24:30
documentation purposes. Um, so,
Speaker 1 24:39
okay, investigation started. Edwin not only used the feathers for his own fly fishing, but
Unknown Speaker 24:49
Alyssa was sharing.
Speaker 1 24:52
He sold some of the feathers on eBay. And I did, actually, I read a book about this a long time ago. I think it's called like the. The Feather thief, and if I recall correctly, he was also selling in like, online communities, because there's, like,
Speaker 3 25:09
really niche but like, active fly fishing communities just on, like small ones on the web and stuff the World Wide Web.
Speaker 2 25:21
They hate the fishing hots guys. They're like, you give us a bad name.
Unknown Speaker 25:27
We're the flying fishers man.
Speaker 2 25:30
Some of us are flutists. Fluffy shirts. Y'all are fucking trash.
Unknown Speaker 25:36
Don't make me like, play my flute at you.
Speaker 2 25:40
You know what I keep thinking with him is, you know, the little flute noise and Willy Wonka, like, picture that whenever he does anything,
Speaker 1 25:51
I imagine he can, like, summon the fish with that too. He just goes out. Because I don't think he was actually into fishing. It was by the fishing, the ties, yeah, oh, okay, because you can do, like, super special crafty ones. And part of what drew him to the these ones was like, uh, just, you know, all the exotic feathers and stuff that you can get to make these specialty fish fly hooks that no one can make anymore, because those birds are extinct.
Unknown Speaker 26:21
And so, yeah, he sold some on eBay.
Speaker 1 26:27
And those online communities, which I believe is part of how they were able to find him and stuff, I think there was something with, like, similar usernames or something that they were able to find tied to an email.
Speaker 3 26:41
Oh, yeah, and, uh, he was saving for a golden flute.
Speaker 2 26:44
Oh, my God, are you serious? He would be going,
Speaker 1 26:50
he's going to save up his money from his fancy feathers for his golden flute.
Speaker 2 26:59
Oh, my God, your dad would be so triggered hearing this story.
Unknown Speaker 27:03
Oh, my God, he would be.
Speaker 3 27:06
Told me a man's playing a flute, playing with with girly feathers,
Unknown Speaker 27:15
and he wants to do it. Um,
Speaker 1 27:22
oh, he was arrested in November, 2010 and confessed, and only 174
Unknown Speaker 27:30
of the birds were found intact. Oh,
Speaker 1 27:34
most of them, however, unfortunately, lost their scientific value, which is so devastating, because it's just like, I don't know if they had, like, you know, two of each. I don't know this was like, the arc, but like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2 27:51
priceless shit, yeah, fucking dumb ass hobbies, loudest,
Unknown Speaker 27:56
golden fluted bitch.
Speaker 1 28:01
Um, there was a clinical psychologist, you know, doing on the case or whatever, in a field day with this guy. Oh, yeah. Well, they diagnosed him with Asperger's arguing that his intense obsession with fly fishing or fly tying made him unaware of consequences.
Speaker 2 28:21
So, like, his mom took a shit ton of Tylenol when she was pregnant with him. Shit ton.
Speaker 1 28:28
That's why he did this, yeah, and she sent him off with Tylenol too. She was like, you're
Unknown Speaker 28:32
moving to the UK here. And
Speaker 1 28:39
because of this, he did not face any prison time. What I know right? And was given a suspended sentence and pay a fine. I don't know how long the suspended sentence was, and pay a fine of 125,150
Unknown Speaker 28:57
pounds, which in the UK, $1.02
Speaker 1 29:03
1010 would be equivalent to $1 or, I'm sorry, a pound in 2010 would be equivalent to a pound 64 and 2025
Unknown Speaker 29:12
so that would give us 205,246
Unknown Speaker 29:16
pounds in 2025 which gives us
Unknown Speaker 29:19
American money. Finally, $272,141.83
Unknown Speaker 29:26
in us. Dollar today,
Speaker 2 29:29
not enough, though, for the priceless bird, that's what I feel. He just got a slap on the wrist.
Speaker 1 29:34
Yeah, and they're like, uh, he doesn't have to pay half, half a mil. Like, that's fucking crazy to me. Like, these are this guy, irreplaceable things, and it's not like he it wasn't like an accident. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 29:47
planned it. Planned it.
Speaker 3 29:49
Um, wild, um,
Speaker 1 29:55
so I just have just a tiny follow up. Is there anything about the heister? Anything you
Speaker 2 30:02
um, this guy, just, I feel like he probably has a very punchable face, just based on all of his hobbies and everything. I will say, I do like the idea of using a glass cutter to break into a museum, because that's what I would picture, you know, just like drawing a circle and like pushing it out. Yeah, yeah, sounds nice. He used an angle grinder, and the louver people use an angle grinder.
Speaker 1 30:28
A circle would be beautiful, but it's just like a fucking or whatever square they can get. But, uh, the circle is beautiful. And I do wonder why cartoons and stuff do a circle, because
Unknown Speaker 30:41
that seems really difficult.
Unknown Speaker 30:44
Oh, no. Um, anyway,
Unknown Speaker 30:48
if you know fat has let us know. Uh,
Speaker 1 30:52
after graduating, he moved to Germany and created a short lived YouTube channel where he posted five videos. I'm gonna
Unknown Speaker 31:00
go leave comments on it.
Unknown Speaker 31:03
I thought about because I went to look. I thought about
Speaker 1 31:06
being, is this the same guy that stole those priceless like irreplaceable birds?
Unknown Speaker 31:11
Oh, yeah, um,
Speaker 1 31:14
the videos are mostly heavy metal flute covers.
Speaker 2 31:20
I would enjoy that, if I didn't hate this guy already, yeah.
Speaker 3 31:26
So he covered Master of Puppets, Games of Thrones and misty mountains, cold, oh, The Hobbit song. Of
Speaker 2 31:36
course he would do a hobbit song attracts,
Speaker 1 31:40
yeah, he, he, and not only did he just do the hobbit song, he's actually made like, little kind of like music videos for these, like, I guess he found, like a cave somewhere for two of them, and he was playing his little flute. Oh, out there. Not even a golden flute, might I add, not even golden. Yeah, I'm glad he didn't get what he wanted, though, kind of annoying that he kind of just got a slap on the wrist. Yeah? Like, that's crazy. God, oh, so he made a couple little music videos, like he's trying to be the next Lindsay Sterling. He hasn't posted videos in seven years, but he continues to play in orchestras in Germany today, so he's just living his little loudest dreams.
Unknown Speaker 32:34
Wow, that's terrible, yeah, um, so I
Speaker 1 32:39
don't know, what did you think it's kind of the result, the end result is very, kind of upsetting to me.
Unknown Speaker 32:46
This seems like a very
Speaker 2 32:50
interesting individual, though I like the details about his little flute.
Speaker 3 32:56
You got a little flute? What is that? A Piccolo? Yeah. Oh. And I think, Oh, I didn't make a note on this, but I think I,
Unknown Speaker 33:09
I may have seen him playing a bass flute. I don't know why I was what is that?
Speaker 3 33:14
It's like, kind of like a bigger flute, and it has, like, a little turn like at the top,
Speaker 1 33:23
with the mouthpiece. So it's not just like one stick. It's, it's like a candy cane, almost like a candy cane, and it has
Unknown Speaker 33:30
the mouthpiece on the the
Unknown Speaker 33:33
small part of the king, I guess you'd say,
Speaker 3 33:36
uh, yeah. So um, he's multi fluted,
Unknown Speaker 33:43
wait, fluted
Speaker 1 33:45
multi flower. Yeah, maybe multi flower. I think looted is, like, at least in cats, boy cats, when they get when they can't, like, when they get, like, stressed out and they're, it gets, like, kind of hard for them to pee, like, bleed a little bit because, I guess, like, maybe they're like, I
Speaker 3 34:04
don't know, stomach issues that's called, or fluting. Oh, fluted, fluted, or, did I say flouted fluted, it's fluted, fluted, fluted. So, yeah, probably the one of the worst flute players I've ever heard of in my life. I agree.
Unknown Speaker 34:30
I bet he
Speaker 2 34:32
really enjoyed playing. My Heart Will Go On when that was popular. Oh my I could see him really being into that, wearing a little Titanic outfit.
Speaker 1 34:41
I wish he had a video, like a heavy metal cover of that. Oh, would you actually like me to show you his? Oh, yes, just a quick look, just because I definitely would. When you mentioned he has a punchable face. I was I was like, You know what he kind of does, is he?
Unknown Speaker 34:59
Where is he from? My. Is he British?
Unknown Speaker 35:01
He's from the US, but he went to, oh,
Speaker 3 35:04
okay, the UK for music school. Gotcha. I don't know if he was like, born somewhere else, though. Okay, I have a picture of what I think he
Unknown Speaker 35:14
looks like. I
Unknown Speaker 35:26
he is, like,
Unknown Speaker 35:30
50% more attractive than I thought he would be.
Speaker 3 35:33
Yeah, he's, he's, he's not, he's not bad looking.
Speaker 2 35:36
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say good, but also I expected somebody like,
Unknown Speaker 35:42
I kind of thought
Speaker 2 35:43
for some reason he would look a little bit like McLovin, but maybe like,
Unknown Speaker 35:49
trashier, I don't know, like he like this guy looks like he
Unknown Speaker 35:54
looks like he could
Speaker 1 35:55
be a dick, yeah, yeah. Like, I'm a nice guy kind of
Speaker 2 36:00
deal. Girls just don't like nice guys anymore.
Speaker 1 36:04
I need to, I need to check something real quick. Let me see, because I think he looks like someone. But I need to double check first
Unknown Speaker 36:12
a little bit. Okay, are
Speaker 1 36:16
how big of a Avenged Sevenfold fan were you back in the day. Not, not much, so I probably won't. Oh, okay, well, the lead singer, M shadows, biggest fucking grudge on him back day. But he kind of looks like M shadows, I guess, like if he played flute and was kind of a geek stick, yeah? That's kind of like the best. And not muscular. M shadows
Unknown Speaker 36:41
is kind of muscular
Unknown Speaker 36:45
picture. M shadows
Speaker 3 36:48
now, oh shit. Okay, hey, I'm shadows, yeah, maybe I'm
Unknown Speaker 36:55
retract my Oh shit.
Speaker 2 36:59
Well, I could see how that would be true, yeah? Like, I feel like that kind of, like trashy type of guy was like peak hotness back
Speaker 1 37:09
then. And, you know, I guess that's a good way to describe what this guy looks like. He's looks like one of those, like,
Unknown Speaker 37:15
hot, white, trashy metal
Unknown Speaker 37:17
guys, like, no
Speaker 3 37:20
piercing, yeah, so um, yeah, that's uh, what was his name?
Unknown Speaker 37:27
Um Edwin wrist,
Unknown Speaker 37:31
and his YouTube is
Speaker 3 37:36
heavy metal flute. Person is um, please don't I mean, I know that we joked about going and leaving mean stuff, but let's not make like a huge like army of mean comments.
Speaker 1 37:55
He did kind of destroy irreplaceable, priceless community. No comment. So yeah, you know what you want with with that information.
Speaker 3 38:09
Um, next we have a moon rock heist. Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 38:18
So I got most well, I guess all of my information from this from people, I always want to say People Magazine, but it's just, it's online, so it's just people, oh, and I've seen like little bits about this, just like on Instagram and stuff randomly.
Speaker 3 38:38
But yeah, I just grabbed from this article. So to start, in the summer of 2002
Unknown Speaker 38:46
Thad Roberts, Thad,
Unknown Speaker 38:53
he must be a flutist too,
Speaker 1 38:57
a recent graduate of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah. He started dating Tiffany Fowler, who was a couple years younger, and worked at the NASA tissue cultural laboratory, laboratory like
Speaker 2 39:16
I don't know why I said it like that. You're a mad scientist because of Halloween time, yes, or
Unknown Speaker 39:25
they, Oh,
Speaker 1 39:28
they soaked. They soaked for a little bit the Utah hot
Unknown Speaker 39:32
springs of Mormon fucking,
Speaker 1 39:40
I don't know if I wrote that he was an intern, but let me continue. I'm just mentioning that. In case I don't mention it, they moved in together within three weeks of dating, and you decided they would steal some moon rocks and meteorite from Houston's Johnson Space Center. Great idea. Yeah. Gene. Yes, great idea.
Unknown Speaker 40:01
Thad,
Unknown Speaker 40:02
you fucking flouted
Unknown Speaker 40:06
Tiffany and Thad, what a gluten in a tree. Well,
Speaker 2 40:13
they're both interns at NASA, so that's cool. Yeah. Weren't you an intern at NASA or did something NASA, I was Oh no,
Unknown Speaker 40:28
but I did steal. No, I'm just kidding. I didn't steal anything.
Speaker 1 40:33
It wasn't, I wouldn't say it was like a super cool, spacey related internship. It was with a program called NASA DEVELOP, and it was focused on, like, remote sensing and satellite data and stuff like that. So I just worked on projects that were, like, proposed by college students, I guess, like their thesis and stuff. And then we had like eight weeks to be like, well, will this work? And just kind of try to see if it worked. So, yeah, I got to work on some cool projects. It was all environmental. I will say, NASA has a lot a very large earth sciences and environmental kind of thing, not just, like space and stuff. So I didn't get to do cool space stuff. I wanted to, but then I was like, um,
Unknown Speaker 41:28
my career is not going that way. Not going
Speaker 1 41:31
that way. My Yeah, I applied, like, when I was in college to some things like that, and, like, planetary GIS and stuff. But, uh, yeah, I got declined from all of it, and now, as an adult, reading about people that get accepted into those things, I'm just like, damn, no wonder I got fucking, like, turned down. These people are, like, kicking their careers off in like, middle school and like, it's crazy,
Unknown Speaker 41:57
but yeah, it's a it's
Speaker 1 42:00
very competitive out there, so be on top of it. Fat heads, if you're, you know, interested, go
Unknown Speaker 42:05
back to middle school
Speaker 3 42:07
and learn to play. Start doing stuff, yeah, go back in time figure it out. I think,
Speaker 1 42:15
I mean, I'm sure it's not just me. But I was like, Damn, I'm not going to be on the Forbes 30. Under 30.
Unknown Speaker 42:23
Did you really think that? I mean,
Speaker 1 42:25
yeah, I mean, not like, I I thought like, I would be, like, this crazy entrepreneur or something. But I was like, you know, I'm from Mississippi, and I'm, you know, I got this, like, a NASA DEVELOP internship. I'll apply to, like, actual more space related NASA internships and all, like, you know, Deep Throat NASA. But then, um, I just wasn't really into it. After, like, applying to stuff and then working out at a sinist space center for a while, I was like, This is so boring right now.
Speaker 2 43:00
I didn't mean to laugh at the 30 under 30. I guess to me, I was just like, I was kind of laughing because I'm like, I've literally never had a dream that big.
Unknown Speaker 43:14
Like I knew
Unknown Speaker 43:18
I would be like, the negative.
Speaker 1 43:22
I just, I just, I don't know, I guess it's just like, you see all the these young people being, like, insanely successful, and I'm like,
Unknown Speaker 43:28
Okay, I'm going to
Unknown Speaker 43:31
be like,
Speaker 1 43:32
like, I'm gonna do all this crazy science stuff. I'm gonna get on that list. I'm gonna make a bunch of money and be a millionaire and retire by like, you know, 40 and then I'm like, Well, life has played out very different.
Unknown Speaker 43:47
I'm talking about shitting my pants on a
Unknown Speaker 43:51
at age 32 Yeah, no wonder.
Speaker 2 43:55
You know what. I would argue that's better than being on Forbes magazine.
Unknown Speaker 44:01
You know what? We'll do
Speaker 1 44:02
a 40 over 40, oh, or 30 over 30, and then we should just make the list and we'll be on the top. Yeah, yeah, our friends can all be on it. That's actually, like a cute idea, you know,
Speaker 2 44:19
I want you to be number one on your own. I want you to be there with me, though, number two for poop and
Unknown Speaker 44:27
you're number one for pee
Speaker 1 44:29
in a pool. Oh, that's true. Yeah, I also pooped in, well, no, I pooped in the pool. Oh, shit, pool. Or you didn't want people to think you peed in a
Unknown Speaker 44:39
pool? Yes, yes, that's it.
Speaker 1 44:44
Um, so yeah, we'll have that list coming out for you guys soon. It does honestly sound like a fun, like, cute thing to do, because you should just, like, get a cute picture of your friend and just be like, they've done all these amazing
Speaker 3 44:55
things. Um, that'd be cool. Um, yeah. So, oh,
Unknown Speaker 45:02
just a quick thing about my internship that was just really funny.
Speaker 1 45:07
So I think I mentioned like we had to work on projects for eight weeks, and I kept coming back to this internship. And we
Unknown Speaker 45:16
was me and two other girls, and this was our the
Speaker 1 45:20
sea salt salinity project. So the video we made, we're like, oh, let's just go down to the beach and get some footage of us, you know, doing our talking points. So it just, you know, the beach and, um, we got back, uh, there was so much wind you couldn't hear like any of the audio. But we decided to just dub over. Just lover,
Speaker 2 45:43
like a bad anime dove or something, kind of,
Speaker 1 45:46
we thought we did a really good job, and then we showed our like, co worker person, and they were like,
Unknown Speaker 45:53
did you guys, like, talk over that or like?
Speaker 1 46:01
And I unfortunately, I don't think those videos are still available. Damn. They were on YouTube. So I was like, Oh, cool. These are gonna be here forever, but I guess whoever runs the channel was just like, we're just gonna go delete all the old stuff and keep moving forward. Like, my video, yeah, like, I wish I would have known I would like download
Unknown Speaker 46:26
it or something.
Speaker 3 46:29
But sorry, sorry about that tangent.
Speaker 1 46:32
Enough, enough about that. Yeah, that's interesting. Back to shitty NASA interns.
Unknown Speaker 46:39
I was a good one. Um,
Speaker 1 46:43
they say they're going to steal moon rocks and meteorite from Houston's Johnson Space Center. Uh, they broke in on July 2002 wearing neoprene body suits, which is like the skin tight black stuff.
Unknown Speaker 46:57
I wonder if you could see his painter outline clearly,
Unknown Speaker 47:03
probably be sad if you can't.
Unknown Speaker 47:06
Is that a flute?
Unknown Speaker 47:10
Are you just happy to still rock with me? And
Speaker 1 47:19
they also had a power saw, saw, and they had a friend with them to
Unknown Speaker 47:27
work as the lookout.
Unknown Speaker 47:30
They know the friend's name,
Speaker 2 47:31
no or what was it Thad Tiffany, and
Speaker 3 47:38
what the other one was trying to think a teenager. She like boring name Tony. Yeah, Tony or or Tory. I like Tory, Tory. Tory. Help us steal these rocks. It'll be fun. You know, I actually assumed it was a guy, but it could have totally been
Unknown Speaker 47:58
a girl, um, so they broke in.
Speaker 1 48:01
Oh, they stole 17 pounds of moon, rock and water, right?
Unknown Speaker 48:06
Um, where are they putting that in
Speaker 2 48:09
their interesting? Oh, no, is that they're both. It's
Unknown Speaker 48:18
like a What was that movie?
Unknown Speaker 48:21
Not where
Unknown Speaker 48:25
he has the watch on his
Unknown Speaker 48:35
ass watch for your father.
Unknown Speaker 48:38
That shit was so good.
Unknown Speaker 48:40
Um, so Thad,
Speaker 1 48:44
um, before we kind of go into it more, Thad had said, in my mind, I was thinking, baby, I'd give you the moon. It would be a romantic way to start a relationship. Very bad
Unknown Speaker 48:58
behavior that is so bad you're right.
Speaker 1 49:02
And well, it wasn't just the idea and act of giving her the moon that made it seem romantic.
Speaker 3 49:10
They put the rocks on a bed and put the blanket on top and they fucked on top them rocks. What that sounds awful. Yep.
Speaker 1 49:21
Um, fucked on top of them. They said that, uh, he said later on that, you know, it was, like, uncomfortable and stuff, but it was like, the idea of, I love rocks, Yeah, fucking on the moon, or being the first people to sex on the moon.
Speaker 3 49:38
And I'm just like, do I need to, like, see,
Speaker 1 49:43
like, that thought never crosses my mind. Literally, never, literally never. Maybe the 30, under 30, as unrealistic as that was,
Speaker 2 49:51
maybe that I don't have dreams,
Speaker 1 49:56
I realized. I definitely realized how like, silly and like, oh. Outlandish it is. But I was like, Yeah, I'll at least be worthy of
Speaker 3 50:04
being nominated or something. And so, yeah, they
Speaker 1 50:09
said it was uncomfortable, but it's more of the idea, which
Unknown Speaker 50:13
I don't know I'm not,
Speaker 1 50:14
like, hey, wouldn't be awesome to fuck on here. Fuck on here. Be the first person to fuck over there.
Speaker 2 50:20
Like, yeah, that's not really my brain works, yeah. And why couldn't you do that at home? I mean, I guess it's like the risk of getting caught.
Unknown Speaker 50:30
Well, they did take them
Unknown Speaker 50:33
to their home,
Speaker 1 50:35
apartment, dorm, whatever. I don't know how they
Unknown Speaker 50:38
Okay, yeah, they fucked on the rocks at NASA,
Speaker 1 50:40
no, they took them away and fucked on them. I thought they were like,
Speaker 2 50:45
we're getting a fucking table and we're gonna do it in the lab.
Speaker 3 50:49
Oh, man, we would have maybe at least had cameras, camera footage of that, although, after hearing how the louver protects their shit with, like, no security cameras, almost Yeah.
Speaker 1 51:04
So yeah. He was like, Baby, get ready for landing.
Unknown Speaker 51:08
Interception. Feds coming in.
Unknown Speaker 51:12
Here comes my Rocket
Unknown Speaker 51:14
Girl.
Speaker 1 51:21
They were arrested after selling some of the rocks to someone along with their accomplice or accomplices that helped steal and sell the rocks. Who the fuck are you selling these to? I don't know, like, other fucking interns. I mean, yeah, and like, do you disclose that you fucked on top of them, because I definitely wouldn't want it after that.
Unknown Speaker 51:45
I'd be like, Look, I know that these came from the moon, but like,
Unknown Speaker 51:49
your ass also touched it.
Unknown Speaker 51:53
I don't, I don't really want that.
Speaker 3 51:57
Oh, my God, story. Yeah, so they, um, they're
Unknown Speaker 52:02
caught because they're trying to
Speaker 1 52:04
sell it, and that also kind of makes me wonder, like, you know, the jewels that were stolen from, like, the louver like, who are they planning on selling that to? Like,
Unknown Speaker 52:16
good question.
Speaker 1 52:17
I think we need to, like, ask that now, when things are stolen, like priceless things.
Unknown Speaker 52:25
Oh, this rock made me rock hard.
Unknown Speaker 52:31
Oh, stupid it
Unknown Speaker 52:35
is so, yeah, they
Speaker 1 52:36
got arrested, and the FBI said that the rocks are virtually useless to the scientific community now, and
Speaker 1 52:49
they also destroyed three decades worth of handwritten research notes by a NASA scientist that had been locked in the safe whoa they broke into. So I'd be fucking pissed if I was that scientist. Like, yeah, I don't know it's, like, all my hard work and because these people just wanted to fuck on top of rocks,
Unknown Speaker 53:10
that is such bad behavior.
Speaker 3 53:13
Oh god, it's so I don't know it's fucking it's crazy and,
Speaker 1 53:19
like, it's just doubly insane, because it's like, you know, like these two people were NASA interns, even if they didn't work directly with, like, the space sector or the the rocks, like, they still knew how fucking well he was geophysics, Geology and Geophysics. So he definitely knew how fucking important this show
Unknown Speaker 53:38
was. Fucking idiots. Um,
Unknown Speaker 53:43
Thad was sentenced to prison in 2002
Unknown Speaker 53:47
he's not gonna do well
Speaker 1 53:48
there. This is a pretty boy. He's gonna take a lot of flute in prison.
Unknown Speaker 53:57
He's going to you
Unknown Speaker 53:58
ever heard your ass whistle? Boy, I
Speaker 3 54:00
um,
Unknown Speaker 54:06
oh, and he was released in 2008
Speaker 1 54:11
only six years in prison for stealing and destroying valuable research items.
Unknown Speaker 54:18
Wow, nothing's fair, yeah.
Speaker 1 54:22
Fowler, which was the girlfriend and their friend, were given 180 days of house arrest, 150 hours of community service, three years probation in order to pay 9000 plus in restitution to NASA. Not enough. Yeah, I don't know if that was 9000 each or whatever. It doesn't sound like Thad had to pay anything back, but that's yeah, again, not enough. I mean, I guess we can go back to the moon every once in a while.
Speaker 3 54:51
So it's not like the extinct birds, but like that, shit is hard to do. And.
Speaker 1 55:00
Other friend that was involved. I think this was the one selling stuff, or maybe not, because they got us, they got a six year sentence. So I don't know really what their involvement was, because they got six years. Thad got six years, but the girlfriend and another friend only got house arrest and stuff. So maybe they were both girls, and they were just,
Unknown Speaker 55:22
Oh, it's okay.
Speaker 1 55:25
So, you know, after all this, the couple has apparently never seen each other since the incident. Again, it doesn't say it was court ordered, but I mean, making that bad of a decision with someone, I assume you move on. But there was someone wrote a book about it. Oh, I didn't write that on the author's name for some reason. But when I looked it looked like they wrote a bunch of other books about like, a
Speaker 3 55:52
non fiction, like heist and, Oh, little primy things. But the book was released
Unknown Speaker 55:59
in 2011 and it's called Sex on the moon.
Speaker 3 56:04
Great name. So, yeah, that's my little trio of heists. That is so weird. Isn't it crazy, how you would think they would pay so much more money for the crimes like that, for command rooms like that. And it's just like, well, well, my mom took Thailand, whoops, um, yeah, just so insane, um,
Unknown Speaker 56:36
and I mean too, because it's like,
Speaker 1 56:38
well, you know, it's the UK, maybe the US will would like punish harsher, but for
Speaker 3 56:42
the moon rocks, they, you know, 9000 bucks, some jail time or house arrest. Boom. You got to have your fun on the rocks. That still blows my mind. How are you gonna do that on rocks?
Speaker 1 57:00
I know it's, it's so, just so fucking uncomfortable. Like, I, I mean, I had a blanket over it, so I guess it wasn't like scratching them, but still, like, obviously, like the bumpiness
Speaker 3 57:12
and all the like, I don't know. I mean, are they like that?
Speaker 2 57:18
They have that much of a boner for science. I mean, I guess that's what it is. I guess
Speaker 1 57:24
they're both, like, college interns and, like, ready to book. Wow. Um, I can't help but think, like, as they were having sex, like, at least the girl was probably like, this is not worth this is not worth it.
Unknown Speaker 57:45
This is not as great as I thought it
Speaker 2 57:46
would be. Tiffany is like, Wait, how I made a mistake.
Speaker 3 57:52
Bad. These rocks are
Unknown Speaker 57:57
hurting my back. I Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 58:05
oh, I wish we came up with that voice.
Unknown Speaker 58:09
Bad, can we bring my friend to be the lookout?
Unknown Speaker 58:12
She's really cool.
Speaker 1 58:15
I can't wait to be on house arrest with her in the sorority.
Speaker 2 58:21
Bad, I told you you could say your dick too much in that jumpsuit,
Unknown Speaker 58:26
in the nail prey Neil mine jumps out.
Unknown Speaker 58:34
Oh, man,
Unknown Speaker 58:37
good. Crazy
Speaker 2 58:38
stories. Yes, I enjoyed that very much. Thank you.
Speaker 1 58:42
And you know, fat heads, thank you for letting us steal your ears. And hopefully we can steal a second of your steal a little more of your time, and you can like, subscribe comments, if you can, I know all the platforms do different stuff. So,
Speaker 2 59:02
yeah, me and Jamie want to buy fucking golden flutes. Okay, we're just gonna be honest.
Unknown Speaker 59:09
Bird to do it. No, we're relying
Speaker 3 59:10
on you to help us. Yeah. So help us get a flute. Yes,
Speaker 1 59:15
you know, it'll be like Mario. You'll help us. Fast forward to a later world that maybe is not as bad as this one. Yes, I would love that.
Unknown Speaker 59:26
Oh and,
Speaker 1 59:29
yeah, tune in next time. I'm excited. I started getting some stuff together about, I'm not going to tell you, it's about an animal about, oh, it's about an animal for a holiday that's coming up. Obviously, that gives it away, but it'll be fun. Excellent.
Speaker 2 59:46
I'm excited I'm going to have another taste testing for us.
Unknown Speaker 59:50
Yes, I think it could. It
Speaker 2 59:54
has potential to be better than the boogers. Okay, but I. Yeah, we'll see. Okay, yeah, the burgers weren't bad. So, yeah.
Speaker 3 1:00:05
So if you want to try them fat heads, I'd recommend trying them just like a good little Yeah, gummy sour boogers by flicks candy
Speaker 2 1:00:17
in Illinois. Oh, actually, they were made in Brazil, packaged in Illinois, I guess so. I mean, these could be illegal soon, because they have yellow number five and blue number one. Oh, and we know that there are people that want to do away with these colors. Oh, my God that. Oh, my God, they use blue eye one. That's mega America healthy again.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:51
Oh, okay,
Speaker 1 1:00:53
