Dumb criminal stories and failed break-in attempts
The episode of Stuff You Should Know discusses dumb criminal stories, including a failed carjacking incident involving Maganga Maganga. Maganga Maganga attempted a carjacking but failed due to not being able to drive a manual transmission car. Derek Mosley attempted to rob a gun store with a baseball bat and a knife, but was caught by the manager who had a loaded gun. Joey Miller and Matthew McNelly attempted to break into a house wearing hoodies with poorly drawn disguises using permanent marker on their faces, leading to their easy identification by the police. Joey Miller and Matthew McNelly were likely intoxicated during the failed break-in attempt, resulting in charges being dismissed as they did not make it into the house and had no weapons.
Establishing routines for self-care and debunking urban legends
The podcast discusses the importance of establishing routines for self-care and recognizing signs of burnout. A story about Klaus Schmidt, a supposed bank robber in Berlin in 1995, is debunked as likely an urban legend. Another example is shared about James Blankenship who believed burglary could only occur at night due to an old common law definition.
Legal definitions of burglary and humorous court discussions
In the United States, the legal system does not distinguish between trespassing and burglary; it's all considered burglary regardless of when it occurs. Burglary is defined as entering a building illegally with the intent to commit a crime, especially theft, but not limited to theft. A person can be charged with arson and burglary if they set someone's bathroom on fire while in their house. The podcast hosts humorously imagine themselves as lawyers without licenses discussing legal cases in court. Darren Kimpton from England attempted two break-ins in one day, leading to his arrest due to leaving a trail of blood from the first break-in to the second. Darren claimed he was trying to steal gifts for his elderly parents due to a heroin addiction, described by his lawyer as clumsy and pathetic.
Criminal attempts gone wrong and collar bomb heist
Discussion about the cringy nature of works by Bukowski, Hunter Thompson, and Jim Morrison American Prayer by Jim Morrison discussed as a sonic book of poetry put together by The Doors after his death Decision not to revisit certain works to preserve memories Promotion of upcoming podcasts like Mini Questions, Therapy for Black Girls, and The Daily Show Ears Edition Podcast Story about Ruben Zorate attempting to rob a muffler shop in Chicago with the involvement of the manager in a decoy plan Rubens-Arati was shot in the back by the cops while attempting to rob a store, leading to a lawsuit against the city of Chicago Albert Bailey called a bank ahead of time to announce his robbery plans, resulting in the bank calling the police Bailey's juvenile accomplice, his 16-year-old cousin, helped carry out the robbery inside the bank The juvenile accomplice remained silent during the robbery, potentially being seen as a tool used by Bailey
Collar bomb heist and TV show recommendations
In 2003, a man with a collar bomb was forced to rob a bank, similar to the Brian Wells story. There is a Netflix special about the woman who devised the collar bomb heist plan. The director of 'The Lobster' and 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' is praised for his work. Colin Farrell's performances in various movies are discussed and appreciated. A recommendation is made for the show 'Ripley' on Netflix, which is shot in gorgeous black and white.
Limited series, Fallout TV show, and childhood memories
Limited series often start strong but can lose momentum in the middle episodes. The podcast hosts discuss a TV show based on the video game Fallout and recommend it. The hosts delve into the story of James Washington, who confessed to a murder while in prison and received a life sentence as a result. The hosts share listener mail about a humorous childhood memory involving white dog poop fights.
Interviews with Andy Garcia and Lou Diamond Phillips
More than a movie podcast features interviews with Andy Garcia and Lou Diamond Phillips. Therapy for Black Girls podcast focuses on mental health and personal development. Next Question season nine premiere includes guests like Chris Jenner, Jay Shetty, Hillary Clinton, and Liz Cheney.
