GMM 105: Confessions: Stuff We’ve Stolen

it’s time to come clean about the stuff that we’ve stolen I’m Andy from Decatur Alabama let’s talk about that good mythical morning what this episode is brought to you by rode microphones including the amazing compact shotgun microphone that you can add to the top of your DSLR camera I can’t say DSLR but you know what I mean this dis learn and you put it above it and it’ll make it sound awesome thanks for joining us today wait what are we doing what are we talking about dealing stuff I was about to get into it get into it on Friday of last week we discussed the fact that Legos not Legos playing Legos are the best toy ever as determined by the mythical beasts who watched good mythical morning that’s them well it turns out that Thomas legen Bach really really really likes Legos well he’s got Legos in his name well Lego Bach leg in the Bach this is interesting this is a guy who is a very successful I think he’s a CEO oh yeah let’s go with that well he has an incredible job at like a technology company he lives in a two million dollar home in California okay he’s a married man he’s got children mm-hmm this is not the kind of guy that you would expect to be stealing things but they recently discovered that this guy has been going into stores like Target and it goes in and he takes his own barcodes and he takes I don’t know if he takes off the other barcode and puts his on I think he’d either be made he puts it over it he puts his own barcode own price tag on all the Legos okay and then he takes a couple of and they scan it at the checkout they scan it and he gets an incredible discount then he takes it home and he sells him on eBay and I didn’t know that was possible this guy made thirty thousand dollars in eBay Lego sales last year and then he was caught and they say that he has hundreds upon hundreds of sets in his basement first of all his kids go down in the base dad why can’t I open any of these sets cuz I’m I stole him and I’m selling I’m gonna be back well I’m just wondering what is the what did the guys like no more God what are the guys wife well actually his he was famous on eBay Tom’s Brickyard was was the name of his eBay handle he didn’t call it stole for the target yeah he didn’t guards Dolan Legos because that would have really shut it down quickly but it actually turns out that they had suspected that this had been happening and they ended up catching the guy on surveillance doing this and it had been done multiple times in multiple places so the guys I think he was arrested but released on bail because I mean he’s just stealing Legos I mean let the guy I don’t bail right you know don’t don’t don’t execute him for this but the despicable thing is that he seems to be really well off well that is the mystery because obviously he’s not doing it for the financial he’s doing the same thrill he’s doing it because he’s addicted to the thrill and I wonder first of all what did his wife think did she just feels like he buys a lot of Legos and sells them on that eBay thing and I don’t really know how that works so let’s call her way I can’t do that I know I have her number I think that would be like interfering with the investigation there is on surveillance right there looking I’m checking out at Target you got that smile on his face boy he’s like you don’t know what I’m doing that’s my barcode you’re scanning and it’s working okay so this interesting story got us to thinking about what we have stolen and since we’re in the habit of confessing things to you that we shouldn’t confess and talking about things that we shouldn’t talk about because we have to make an episode every single day and we just start reaching pretty deep into dangerous places we’re gonna confess things are we stolen but let’s at least invite them in the comments to confess things they’ve stolen you can change your name if you want but uh yeah just just go for that you that you’re safe here yeah just leave it in a comment when you you stole something so now I remember I gosh I must have been out like a fourth grader I went with my granddad Papa Clyde to some like garden supply store and I remember they had si if you were leaving my item pepsi leads they would have seized that you could put in a little packet and dandelion I don’t think you’re bad dancer – how did we where’s the weed seed section I’m gonna steal song I meant to say sunflower I always get those two confused because I don’t have a green thumb I at least do have thumbs so let’s look on the bright side so I took a handful of those seeds and I just put them in my pocket okay and then we were driving home and I was in the backseat and I remember saying papa I took some seeds didn’t say anything pulled the car over popped a you we went back didn’t say anything the first thing he said was when he parked back at the garden supply store he said get out and give the seeds back well side no and I’ll never forget that important side note he was the chief of police you know this isn’t that was this Clyde was my other pop but he was a cop he was that he was the sheriff’s deputy yeah sheriff’s deputy me case grand kid can’t be going around lifting seeds from the he wasn’t he wasn’t a sheriff he wasn’t in a sheriff car at the time cuz it would seem like oh this is a new former sheriff just arrested my grandson who’s in the back but I never be concentrate and I never stole anything else after that dandelion seeds the hottest item and Lily or Angela’s sunflowers see ya I never stole anything else after that at least anything that I’m gonna tell you guys about what have you stolen I stole a car no you did like a matchbox the one that I’m driving right now is just a vehicle I am actually as a child I was really good kid I did I did not ever I was so scared of getting caught for things and spanked it didn’t matter that hey I wanted to steal the times but but I never did I never brought myself to it but as an adult I have technically stolen a few things just quickly talking about those things and I think many of you have probably done this too I sense my rationalization coming on here yeah the difference that one of the differences between me and my wife is you still thinks if she doesn’t if I’m in a fast-food restaurant and they give me like an extra burger or extra fries extra burger hey it’s happening I’ve gotten like a sausage biscuit one time Wow out of nowhere yeah he stole it I just take it if my wife gets something like that she feels the neatest good like if we go and we like we look in the car over like a sausage biscuit she’s like I gotta go in and tell him what if they but the kid they can’t give it you can’t give it back think they’re on the trash right if they hand it to you it’s not stealing okay but technically I didn’t hire for it I dipped my hand into the dandelion seeds now here’s another thing that I think this is technically this technically is definitely stealing you go to Walmart Target big-box store whatever you get a bunch of stuff and then you realize that there were a couple of little items like in a bag or under your cart or something like that that you didn’t pay for it and you realize that when you get home oh that’s tough when you’re home and so tough to go back I box store I’ve done it I know nothing major I’m talking about like my wife might have like a thing a lipgloss or something that she didn’t pay for and she’s all bent out of shape she’s like we got to go back we got over to we got to return this or tell him that we didn’t pay for it and pay for it and I’m like honey listen we’re home it’s lip gloss forget about it convenience always Trump’s theft and then I’ve actually in a house actively stolen something once but I think that it was more of an exchange I went to Walmart I got some batteries turns out I got home I use the wrong batteries I go back in and they have a different kind of battery that’s exactly the same price to it exactly the same price right next to it and I’m like I don’t know why I did it because it would have been so easy to just exchange because they make it so easy a Walmart to exchange things I took it back in in my pocket I put it on the rack and took the other one off and put it in my pocket that was the that that was an unnecessary risk I don’t know why it was like three years ago and but it was convenience I mean it had to be nothing more than or the thrill but did you do it for the thrill yeah made me feel like did you make a fake barcode no I just did the switcheroo the old switcheroo now back in sixth grade and some around the same time as I guess the seed incident maybe a few years later I remember my mom would drop me off Sunday nights at the church stuff no Wednesday night Wednesday night Church would go in and I remember David don’t want give his last name and sometimes Joel oh I will give his last name Daugherty because he didn’t steal anything oh good they were they were you know two and one and two years older than me so there was a hey let’s go down to the shortstop that’s a convenience store the only convenience doing Buies Creek instead of going to the church stuff so I would act like I was going in my mom would drive off and I would I guess I would steal time from church about going to the shortstop but then unless now even would steal some wedges about the same church and I’d I went into the youth stuff yeah you were going out and stealing those look you were afraid of being spanked and I needed a throw and I wanted to let the other guys bleach me David would go steal stuff oh he would still stop there was that big league – did he give him legs yeah big league chew like Smarties sweet tarts clearly Canadian did every still any clearly Canaan oh it’s like what is that genie shaped bottle in your pocket son it’s tough to steal clearly Canadian uh yeah but I didn’t see anything but I was I didn’t turn him you were an accomplice I was an accomplice but then Joel I also remember that he pulled some scope out of his pocket like a little thing travel thing of scope and I thought he stole that he said I didn’t steal this I just keep in my pocket all the time for the ladies and I’ll never forget that either he said you do that – this is it I was I thought he was a ladies man and he thought he was a ladies man don’t you remember he had Mindy more for a long time sure glass yeah that works but he kept a travel size scope and he said you know what if you’re gonna learn anything in high school keep boring leaves in your pocket at all times that’s what he told me dead serious I’ll never forget it but it wasn’t stolen but it did this feeling you didn’t steal from him no I stole the technique he didn’t pick pocketers scope you know look I even carried some now to this day just kidding I don’t do that because it’s got AB it’s not actually scope is not good for you but it’s got alcohol in it and it kills the bacteria but it dries your mouth out which causes you not be able to create creative saliva which is actually bacteria controlling but highschool girls love that so if you’re in high school then you could carry it if you want to be like Joel old West gun fight alright you know there’s were something we gotta kind of a small area here but let’s turn back to back you take a couple of we’re gonna settle this like Wild West men normally I would you know usually I take twenty paces but we don’t have a lot room we’ll leave the frame with a camera still no let’s just rotate in our chairs okay no paces just rotation all right tell them which way you wrote things I’m probably gonna go clockwise I don’t hardly figure out which way that is when you kind of do that vertical you do counter you’ll turn this way you go yes both you do counter now do this you doing this way I’m gonna shoot you shoot you you’re gonna shoot me with your left to enter your right right here I got two guns and once you eat with both now which way are you going again this kid I’m going clockwise you’ve got one counter and we’re gonna go on three before that’s not even yeah let’s just let’s leave it to God why where’s God [Music]
