1:10

Is that Woody's wearing a Billy

1:12

Goat. Is that Chicago Billy Goat?

1:30

Billy Goat. Okay. Yeah. And I was not

1:32

1:39

Highly recommend it. The Billy Goat. The

Billy Goat. Look, they bring in tours. We're

1:54

sitting there day drinking and they have tour

1:56

buses that come in and get the

1:59

cheeseburger. It was a mandatory

2:01

stop every trip to Chicago. I had to get

2:03

in there for something. Yep.

2:06

That's a bit of a good hat. Not

2:08

familiar with it. It sounds good. I like

2:11

a cheeseburger. Yes indeed. Aimee Goodlands. All

2:14

right. So, Delos, it

2:16

is Monday and was just

2:19

a short time away from Santa Claus and Jesus'

2:21

birthday. That's right. Santa Claus is coming in on

2:23

Jesus' birthday. I haven't bought a single freaking gift

2:25

either. I'm

2:29

sure I bought a lot of gifts I haven't purchased any.

2:32

Physically. Yeah. So,

2:35

anyway, let's get into some crime

2:37

time for Monday. All right.

2:40

And we're going to start out in

2:42

Florida. A Florida man was arrested after

2:44

he was caught using his company

2:46

credit card to fill up his

2:48

personal car's gas tank 74 times

2:52

in the span of one month. Wow.

2:55

Totally. How much money? Yeah. We're

2:58

going to get into it. That was exactly

3:01

what he called mine. Totaling nearly $4,000. Robert

3:04

Dirth, 71. Wow. 71

3:07

year old man, y'all was arrested

3:10

Thursday and charged with felony

3:12

larceny. Dirth started working at

3:14

the sales corp USA

3:17

based in Wildwood back in August

3:19

of 2022 as a part time

3:21

delivery car.

3:25

Whenever the company owned trucks

3:28

needed gas, Dirth would use the company's

3:30

gas car to fill them up. Very

3:33

kind. He's supposed to

3:36

return that car after he filled

3:38

up the truck to the office.

3:41

However, he didn't. The

3:43

71 year old man used his company card 74

3:45

times at 12 different gas stations across

3:51

Sumter County between September

3:54

12th and October 17th of 2023. fill

4:00

up his personal vehicle, which was a

4:02

2013 Kia SUV with unleaded gas when he did

4:07

not have permission to do so.

4:09

This from deputies. Four times in a

4:11

Kia, he has good gas mileage. Right.

4:14

And it should be noted that the

4:16

company owned trucks only use diesel. So,

4:20

you know, uh, he's, he's filling his up with

4:22

regular gas. That right there would, would throw up

4:24

a red flag. All of

4:26

Dirth's unauthorized transactions added up to

4:29

$3,822 and 88 cents. A

4:34

representative from the company completed a

4:36

swarm written statement and signed an

4:39

intent to prosecute and dirt.

4:41

Dirth was also calling surveillance footage

4:44

from a seven 11 gas station,

4:46

uh, using the company's

4:48

fuel card to gas up his personal

4:50

car on at least seven different dates

4:52

and on one occasion he

4:54

pulls portable gas cans out the, out the

4:57

truck starts filling those out. It's just in the miles on

4:59

the average of 400 miles of tank. That's

5:04

29,600 miles that dude drove in a month. Crazy.

5:09

Where the hell is he going? On

5:12

Monday of this

5:14

past week, Dirth met with deputies

5:16

for an interview where he was

5:18

read his Miranda warnings and agreed

5:20

to speak with detectives when he

5:22

said he was not, uh, what

5:25

he said was not made immediately

5:27

available to us, but he was

5:29

arrested and transported to the county

5:31

jail and he was released later that

5:33

day after posting a $2,000 bond. But

5:36

you know, it's, it is a major

5:38

issue. Uh, the

5:40

company theft when it comes to

5:42

gas specifically, and I'll tell you

5:45

a quick story, uh, uh,

5:47

with the company that I used to work

5:49

for, we had a company car and a

5:51

gas car, but we would have

5:54

to key in all kinds of things. We'd have

5:56

to key in the mileage when we, when we

5:58

filled up our car and all. Also,

6:00

we had a code that was unique to us

6:02

that we would almost like a pin number that

6:04

you would have to key in. So, not only

6:06

would they know that Jim Chapman filled up his

6:08

vehicle, they would also know the mileage when I

6:11

filled it up. So, the next time I went,

6:13

if I had a 700-mile gap

6:15

one way or the other, they're going to

6:17

know something's up. It's going to raise the

6:20

reward. We had cars. We had fuel vans

6:22

back in the day. The reason

6:24

the mileage wouldn't work is because a

6:26

lot of times you're sitting idle. You

6:29

run as well. Right. Well,

6:31

that's true. But, I've had to

6:33

arrest cops for using their

6:35

fuel van car, filling up everything from

6:38

the personal vehicles to the bass boats.

6:41

Oh, I'm sure. It's because somebody called him

6:43

like, hey, we saw him use

6:45

his fuel van car and he filled up

6:47

his bass boat. Yeah. It's

6:50

stupid. I mean, you hate to see that,

6:52

but I don't know. Look, I

6:54

know a particular mayor that

6:56

when he took office, one of

6:58

the things he instituted was putting

7:00

GPS on city vehicles. It

7:03

cut the gas usage down over 30%.

7:08

Over 30% that first year just

7:11

from putting GPS. So, obviously, they were taking

7:13

their company cars on vacation. Oh, right. Things

7:16

like that. I want to up you on

7:18

that one. I'm not going to say where

7:20

and when, but a certain

7:22

apartment. A sheriff got a phone

7:24

call and it was

7:27

from, I wasn't in

7:29

Pinellas County, it was somewhere down in Florida,

7:31

a beach community. And they were like,

7:33

are you missing one of your mart

7:36

units? And he was like, no. And

7:38

then he said, what's the unit number? They gave it to him. The

7:41

deputy had taken his family on vacation

7:43

in his mart unit. Oh, that's a

7:46

no-no, isn't it? Yeah, you're

7:48

busted. You're in a bind. You're

7:50

in a bind. That's a long ride back for you,

7:52

homie. Hey, you know what? Let's

7:54

talk about some more cars. The Grand Prix race, can

7:56

you ever watch it? Oh, yeah, Formula

7:58

One? Yeah, see, I like it. I like

8:01

NASCAR shit, but I started watching a series

8:03

on And I

8:05

didn't yeah, it's like team racing and all

8:07

that stuff. So yeah, that's evidently It's a

8:09

big big big worldwide sport for they use

8:11

it money I don't know

8:14

billion recently they held the big

8:16

Grand Prix in Las Vegas. Well

8:19

That brings all kinds of people to town right the

8:21

Las Vegas does anyway, so during

8:24

the Grand Prix they

8:26

were 70

8:29

plus men Arrested

8:32

during a sex trafficking operation run by

8:34

the Metro's police vice squad during the

8:36

week of Las Vegas Grand Prix seven

8:40

of those men according

8:42

to the police But were arrested

8:44

for luring a child or soliciting

8:47

a minor all seven thought

8:49

they were meeting a teenage girl and Records

8:52

indicate the oldest man is arrested was 64

8:54

in the young age 22 Each

8:57

defendant of course that naturally has an

8:59

open case in Las Vegas With

9:01

a variety of sex charges including learn the

9:03

child for sexual acts and one of those

9:05

men 31 year old it was

9:08

31 years old also faces a gun charge carrying

9:10

a concealed weapon without a permit And

9:12

he told police he says hey, I

9:14

care firearm when I'm alone That's

9:17

what the police report said but he acknowledged being

9:20

the 14 year old female according to the report

9:22

Which also said he told police the hundred

9:24

dollars in his pocket at the time of

9:26

his arrest was to buy some sushi Papers

9:30

right but most of the men agreed to

9:32

pay the you know the undercover decoys somewhere

9:34

between the range of a hundred to Pretty

9:39

sure you're not gonna get a process. He worth the

9:41

grain of sod. They messed the thought of a deal

9:43

a hundred to $120 and so While

9:48

one of the men arrest initially offered his decoy 120 and then

9:50

lowered his offer to $100 Both

9:54

had cash on the person and some

9:56

brought protection meaning condoms. I was

9:58

a note negotiated sex without protection.

10:01

So they paid for a higher price

10:03

not to use a cognitive bareback. Oh

10:05

lord. Police report one

10:07

of the defendants 46 year old

10:09

had a Sacramento address and

10:12

he was arrested in his blue Lexus with California

10:14

plates and thought he was meeting a 14 year

10:16

old girl. And police recovered

10:18

two Viagra pills in the man's vehicle

10:20

during that arrest which he

10:22

didn't and then denied. He

10:25

stated he has Viagra because his thing

10:28

doesn't work. Anyway,

10:32

the strip was loaded

10:36

with tourists during that week of the

10:38

F1 ratio and the issue of sex

10:40

trafficking in plagues in Las Vegas

10:42

especially during the next

10:44

morning. Well and it's also legal prostitution.

10:47

No no no. No no

10:49

no. That's a misnomer. Prostitution

10:52

is only legal in like one county

10:54

in the south or outside of Las

10:56

Vegas. It's where the bunny ranch and all that is. But

10:59

it's rampant. Everywhere you go on

11:01

the strip there's flyers and you

11:04

know people are handing out things

11:06

and get you escorts in your

11:08

room but it's still illegal. So

11:10

anytime they have these big sporting

11:12

events they go in and they

11:14

do these undercover things. So don't

11:16

be buying sex. No

11:19

and this is like an Epstein's

11:21

Island kind of thing. These big

11:23

events, festivals

11:26

in the south of France. They're

11:29

bringing Super Bowl playoff games.

11:31

Any weird that wealthy men

11:33

are gathered there. They're doing

11:36

this. A professional box matches

11:38

unit. If the big shit

11:40

comes in, wherever it whatever

11:42

city is. New

11:44

Orleans when the Sugar Bowl comes they'd

11:46

be an influx of prostitutes. Oh really?

11:48

Oh yeah. That's part of the sex

11:50

trafficking. They ship from city to city.

11:52

They pimp them wherever the big acts.

11:54

Load up on cash that. Yeah I

11:57

would just think you could afford more than a hundred

11:59

dollars. Or that part is that

12:01

part is weird. You know why cuz that's

12:04

almost like an entrapment, right? I

12:06

mean everybody else is charging a thousand dollars and

12:08

but you can have me for about

12:10

20. Yeah, you're right Interesting

12:13

that but I think at that very

12:15

state be questioned overall Overall,

12:18

they got probably out of the 77 of

12:21

them were there to have sex with a kid Fuck

12:23

them said yeah I Said

12:27

said said sex trucking. Although

12:29

we don't have the list of people who flew on

12:31

Epstein air I want to see there. All right, those

12:33

names good luck with that. Yeah Tijuana.

12:38

Yep been there So

12:40

if I I've been a while like

12:43

12 years. Yeah, I don't think we

12:45

I don't think going back there right? Yeah, right

12:47

now is it probably not a lot of that.

12:49

But Only

12:51

in Tijuana it seems

12:53

some of Tijuana's finest Decided

12:56

that crime does pay right

12:59

and decided to get in on some of the

13:01

action a half dozen local and state

13:03

police Officers in Tijuana hatched

13:05

a plot to steal a large shipment

13:07

of drugs From a

13:10

warehouse where traffickers were storing it Video

13:13

emerged of the officers pickup truck pulling

13:15

out of the building with big plastic

13:17

wrapped bales of Cocaine filling

13:20

the truck bed the coca

13:22

state prosecutor Maria Elena Andreo

13:25

Confirmed that three state detectives were

13:27

under investigation in the case below

13:30

along with a similar number of

13:32

Tijuana municipal police Alberto

13:36

Capella the former head

13:38

of Tijuana police said

13:40

the cache of drugs appeared to have belonged So

13:44

I guess who the Sinaloa Cartel

13:48

Specifically the wing of the Sinaloa

13:50

cartel control you get your ass

13:52

killed controlled by the drug lord

13:55

Ismail El Mayo Zambata

13:58

the most powerful guy

14:00

in town. These cops apparently

14:02

did not believe in starting off small

14:05

and a cartel found out almost immediately

14:07

who had pulled off the heist and

14:09

that's when the killing began. There you

14:11

go. And it reads like a TV

14:14

script, enraged drug lords hunting down corrupt

14:16

police officers who stole their drugs. On

14:18

November 18th, just hours after the initial

14:21

theft, gunmen sprayed the

14:23

federal prosecutor's office in Tijuana with at

14:25

least 30 rounds. Within an hour, one

14:27

of the municipal police officers allegedly involved

14:29

in the heist had been gunned

14:32

down on the street in Tijuana. On

14:34

November 24th, gunmen targeted the state

14:36

prosecutor's office with another barrage of

14:38

gunfire. On the 27th, a

14:40

state detective under investigation for the theft

14:42

was gunned down in his car while

14:45

filling it with gas. Just

14:47

a day earlier, that officer had declined

14:49

an offer for a spot

14:51

in the state witness protection program in return

14:53

for testifying in the case. In

14:57

the next several days, three more officers were

14:59

killed but none of

15:01

those three were believed to have been involved

15:03

in the heist. Former Chief

15:05

Capella commented on those murders and

15:07

he said, quote, when you

15:09

mess with El Mayo, the

15:12

guy's embada, the... Your

15:14

mesh with the best. Who he referred to as

15:17

the most powerful guy in town. He

15:19

said he tends to go with

15:21

a more, quote, generalized

15:23

retribution. He just killed every cop.

15:27

Tijuana is the murder capital of Mexico

15:29

with double the number of the

15:32

next closest city, which is Juarez. Tijuana

15:34

has a population of just over

15:36

two million and sees around 2,000

15:38

murders annually. To put that in

15:40

perspective, Houston has almost the same

15:42

exact population and has a little

15:44

over 400 murders a year. That's

15:46

five times the murder rate per

15:48

capita. But while Tijuana is no

15:51

stranger to violence or corruption, it

15:53

has never seen anything of this scale.

15:55

According to Capella, when he took

15:57

over as police chief, he had to fire about...

16:00

Quarter of the officers and

16:02

he survived multiple assassination attempts while he was

16:04

head of the police But police

16:06

stealing a cartel's entire drug shipment

16:08

is a new low Tijuana

16:11

has never seen anything of this scale

16:13

and that's saying a lot. Yeah It's

16:16

crazy. I wonder what that does some

16:19

medical tourism. Yeah. Yeah makes

16:21

you do some crazy So yeah on

16:23

your own supply. That's right generalized

16:27

Retribution that I bet you Killed

16:30

their family members to oh,

16:32

yeah, I mean it's like I can't find you

16:34

you hiding us Okay, we'll just kill your mama

16:36

and your grandma. We'll just kill all of you

16:39

generation. Okay, if you're living in a place like

16:41

that And you obviously are

16:43

familiar with the cartels and their reach and everything

16:45

else What

16:48

the hell gives you the Pipeline or

16:50

their cartel has to get it across the border

16:52

all that. I don't know and And

16:55

you know, they may look

16:57

they they'll be had you. Oh,

16:59

yeah I mean they they do a

17:01

lot of that in cartels and everything too. Yeah

17:04

a little too brave for their britches

17:08

We love Rosetta Stone here at real life

17:10

real crime daily and they've been one of

17:12

our biggest and best supporters I've learned how

17:14

to have short conversations in Italian with my

17:16

mother and had a family wedding this weekend

17:18

with four generations of Italians around I'll be

17:20

sure to put it to the test But

17:22

I think I can handle it at my

17:24

age I really thought learning a new language

17:26

was going to be impossible But for me

17:28

two big things made the difference with Rosetta

17:31

Stone one Rosetta Stone teaches through immersion I'm

17:33

not memorizing a list of vocabulary words

17:36

every day You're actually out there learning

17:38

as you participate in dialogues and reading

17:40

stories to the geniuses at

17:43

Rosetta Stone created the speech recognition

17:45

feature so that I can compare

17:47

and match my Audio to audio

17:49

of native speakers and get direct

17:51

and immediate feedback about pronunciations This

17:53

is really cool and it helps

17:55

a lot Rosetta Stone is the

17:57

best language program to get because

17:59

they have 30 years of experience

18:01

as the leader. They are used by

18:03

millions every day. Thousands of companies and

18:06

government organizations use Rosetta Stone to train

18:08

their people, and the lessons are immersive,

18:10

and they know what really works. Rosetta

18:12

Stone makes a great holiday gift for

18:14

that friend or family member you know

18:17

has a trip planned or could use

18:19

another language for their work. Don't put

18:21

off learning that language. There's no better

18:23

time than right now to get started.

18:26

For a very limited time, Real Life

18:28

Real Crime and The Daily Show listeners

19:58

Pete Beach, if you're familiar with? that

20:00

you know what County St. Pete's in

20:03

St. Pete beaches in all right well

20:05

a tourist found himself behind bars after

20:07

he drunk he was drunk and

20:10

he threw gator nuggets into

20:12

a restaurant gator nuggets gator

20:14

nuggets you never heard a gator nuggets

20:16

like like chicken actual fried gator fried

20:18

gator okay well good stuff just

20:21

a weird thing to be thrown in okay yeah he

20:23

threw him into a restaurant but that's not

20:25

the weird part Mike he sexually

20:28

molested a manatee statue

20:30

what yes when a staff

20:32

asked him to leave okay

20:35

he sexually molested

20:37

a manatee statue okay that would

20:40

seem difficult so put that picture

20:42

in your head as I tell

20:44

you this story Anthony Lessa 23

20:47

was arrested and charged

20:49

with disorderly intoxication after the

20:51

incident took place at two

20:54

separate places in st.

20:56

Pete Beach on Friday postcard

20:58

in on the beach and

21:01

Rick's reef restaurant those are

21:03

the two places the man

21:05

from Pittsburgh I'm waiting for

21:08

Mike to say I figures no no

21:10

no you like it it's still a

21:12

very great job thing I love the

21:14

Pittsburgh people all right well the man

21:17

from Pittsburgh is accused of throwing gator

21:19

nuggets in the wrist Rick's reef restaurant

21:22

and deputies found more of them in

21:24

his pants pocket when he was arrested

21:26

according to the Rick's reef restaurant

21:29

menu gator bites are pieces of

21:32

fresh fried gator and it is good

21:34

try it sometimes we fight chicken when

21:36

so when staff confronted lessa

21:38

he became belligerent and sexually

21:41

molested a manatee statue in

21:43

the presence of the staff

21:46

and other patrons he

21:48

then ran off the property worker

21:51

when the manager asked less of a calm

21:53

down and offered to escort him to his

21:55

room he refused to say what room he

21:57

was in less of

21:59

was then trespassed from the property

22:01

but he stayed in the parking

22:04

lot lingering and yelling more obscenities.

22:07

This caused a backup in traffic, of course this

22:09

is Gulf Beach Boulevard right, everybody is driving out

22:11

of the road, you got this dude, F-bombing.

22:15

So it causes a

22:17

backup in traffic and

22:20

disturbing the peace as

22:22

several other guests waited for rides so

22:24

they were waiting to leave and he's

22:26

still F-bombing. When deputies caught

22:28

up with Lessa they observed a

22:30

strong odor consistent with alcoholic beverage

22:33

and they noticed his pupils were dilated

22:36

in a high light environment. So

22:38

he was also reportedly in a heightened

22:40

state with a short term

22:43

memory implication. Not sure what that means,

22:45

that's what he was in. For

22:49

example, Lessa continued to ask deputies why

22:51

he was being arrested on a loop. On

22:55

a loop? He must have thought he was on a

22:57

loop. I don't know what that

22:59

means either but deputies probably thought the

23:01

same thing. So he

23:03

was placed into custody near the hotel

23:05

and transported to jail. He has since

23:07

been released on his amortic cognizance according

23:10

to arrest records but don't

23:12

molest the manatee's statues when you're

23:14

drunk. How do you

23:16

molest the statue? I guess he was just

23:19

dry humping. Was he a dry humping or

23:21

was he just kind of pulling them? He

23:23

probably bent over and was like, yeah, you see

23:25

this? I'm going to take care of your

23:28

manatee's statue. And dangerous

23:30

these men? Yeah. I mean, who

23:32

does that? This is real shit, y'all. We don't make this

23:34

shit up. That's either a really bad kinky crime or a

23:36

really bad dumb criminal but check this out.

23:44

So the odor

23:47

alcoholic beverages, that's what you write in all the

23:50

reports and the pupils being dilated in a high

23:52

light situation. That's what you write

23:54

as your probable cause, you know, which is asshole.

23:56

So at some point, though, they searched for dope

23:58

and all they found was gay. Gator nuggets in

24:00

his pocket. Gator nuggets. That ain't no dope. That

24:02

ain't no dope. He had already smoked all the

24:04

milk. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe

24:07

the Gator Nuggets released. Could be. Could

24:09

be. A little yayo on them.

24:11

Who would think to... So, what

24:14

would the charge be on the

24:17

Manatee...? Probably since I had...

24:19

In Louisiana it'd be some kind of... Drunken,

24:21

desor, or weird. Well, maybe

24:23

Lou'd actually... He'd expose himself. You

24:27

know, maybe Lou'd be a syphilis or something like that.

24:29

There is. Okay, so he

24:31

could have stripped down naked gun. Yeah, he

24:33

got a T-bagged manatee. Same thing about him

24:35

stripping down. So, I don't think he stripped

24:38

down, but he definitely... I feel like he was

24:40

banging it. He went back far enough to know

24:42

that he was... Somebody's gotta have it. There's gotta

24:44

be a photo of this somewhere. If

24:47

I need to see the guy T-bagging the

24:49

Manatee photo, that's the Lord. Valuable.

24:52

Man, was that Pinellas County, by the way? Yes.

24:55

Pinellas County, out of period. I'm gonna have to

24:57

say, listening to episode one way

24:59

in here, I promise

25:02

the listeners out there, we do

25:04

not... We have thousands of stories

25:06

we can pick from. We do

25:08

not pick Pinellas County on purpose.

25:10

It just happens to be the

25:12

strangest shit. I don't wanna Pinellas

25:14

County. Florida in general and Pinellas

25:16

especially. I think Pinellas is by

25:18

far the least in Canada. We've

25:21

ever covered. While we're on

25:23

the subject of that, look, if any

25:26

of our fans are from the Pinellas

25:28

County area and you're familiar with Rick's

25:30

Reef Restaurant, we want you to send us

25:32

a picture of the manatee. Catherine Stewart, go over

25:34

there. Message us the picture of the manatee. We'd

25:36

like to check that out. You're gonna ask him

25:38

how he did it. Yeah. She'll

25:41

do it, she'll do it. Look, while we're on that

25:43

subject, real quick, we thank

25:46

the fam for sending us the

25:48

sheriff's judge on a

25:50

shelf, but I

25:52

had the person wrong. The

25:55

person that I read off was

25:57

the person on eBay. person

26:00

that actually bought us that, they

26:04

bought it off of eBay and had them direct

26:06

ship it to us. So we want

26:09

to thank Christine Tillman who was on

26:14

Bloody Angola. Oh

26:16

is that Christine? Yeah, yeah. Attorney

26:18

Christine Tillman. Super intelligent. They didn't

26:20

even go listen to that episode.

26:23

It includes the series on

26:26

the Attorney General and

26:28

that's right. Shameless plug too.

26:31

That's right. We

26:33

love to plug the best. But thank you Christine

26:37

and sorry I screwed that story up the first

26:39

time. She's awesome and thank you for coming on

26:41

Show Tastes with you. Awesome. Your husband was awesome

26:44

too. 100%.

26:46

I love manatees. I think they're really cool

26:48

creatures. I hate to see

26:50

somebody doing that to a manatee. It's

26:52

terrible. Even a even a statute one.

26:55

And who has manatees? Florida.

26:57

No, no. That of the three

26:59

of us who covers manatees. So

27:01

okay so I think

27:03

you got Trump there. There wasn't a lot of manatees. It's

27:08

a fake manatee. Statues are in

27:11

play for anyone? Anyone. I don't

27:13

know. I didn't take

27:15

that. Spend some time with the bylaws on

27:17

that one. You got too

27:19

much time. Okay. Let's

27:22

go to Manhattan. Harrison

27:26

Ferreras, age 37, was

27:28

shot point-blank in the head during a

27:30

robbery at a Manhattan eatery last week.

27:33

But Manhattan assistant DA Alex Patton

27:35

says Ferreras wasn't just an

27:38

unfortunate bystander in the robbery

27:40

but rather the intended target of

27:42

a hit. Patton says Ferreras

27:44

was the victim of a love triangle rivalry

27:47

involving the accused gunman who

27:49

staged the robbery to cover

27:51

his tracks. Highten Camacho

27:53

Bonilla, age 37, is accused

27:55

by prosecutors of mounting a

27:57

cold-blooded plot driven by Jellis

28:00

to kill Harrison Ferreras at the Seafood

28:02

King fish market in Washington Heights, which

28:04

is right where Columbia is, way up

28:06

there at the tip of Manhattan. The

28:09

act was premeditated, deliberate, callous, and is

28:12

just by sheer luck that the victim

28:14

is still alive, Assistant

28:16

DA Patton told the judge at

28:18

Camacho Bonilla's arraignment. Ferreras, who

28:21

remained laid up at the hospital

28:23

in bad shape Tuesday, had a

28:25

brief romantic fling several months ago

28:27

with the mother of Camacho Bonilla's

28:29

child, Patton said. The

28:31

brief fling allegedly fueled a jealous rage

28:33

in Camacho Bonilla, who had been separated

28:36

from the woman for about eight months,

28:38

but nonetheless became obsessed with her new

28:40

beau. So just before 2 a.m. on

28:43

December 6th, the enraged

28:45

accused shooter with

28:47

all black stuff, clad in all black

28:50

with a hat, face mask,

28:52

showed up at the eatery on Broadway

28:54

and West 163rd, ordered food and then

28:57

left in what first appeared to be

28:59

a normal transaction. But Camacho Bonilla

29:01

had been casing the place. He

29:03

allegedly returned a few

29:05

minutes later, and as

29:08

his romantic rival sat at

29:10

the counter eating, he

29:12

pointed a distinctive blue gun at

29:14

his back and shot. And

29:17

amazingly, as we said before, Ferreras

29:19

has lived through this thing. So

29:23

and the shooter didn't

29:26

think about the surveillance cameras, which captured

29:28

the violent act and its aftermath. So

29:31

we've got all of this on

29:33

footage, and you can clearly see that it

29:36

is Camacho Bonilla who did this. So that's

29:38

not the smartest tool

29:41

in the shed, but you

29:43

know, and plus he didn't kill. He attempted

29:45

to assassinate the victim based on jealousy and

29:48

he blew it and couldn't do it. So

29:50

one job was stupid. You're going to look

29:52

around and see if they have cameras. Yeah.

29:55

I mean, I'm fucking stupid. That could be

29:57

a dumb criminal. That could be.

29:59

Could be. And you

30:02

had one job. Got one job.

30:04

He blew it. I'm glad the guy's

30:06

gonna live. I think he was critical

30:09

but they moved him. I

30:11

listed him now as stable. So hopefully he's gonna make it.

30:14

It's pretty much gonna be critical. Very

30:17

lucky to survive. Well, we're

30:20

close to Christmas and

30:22

I have a little Christmas extra

30:25

for you today. I'm gonna give

30:27

you the list of the top

30:30

crimes committed during the holidays. How

30:32

about that? We'll talk

30:34

about them a little bit. Obviously

30:37

the holiday season is well

30:39

underway. Decorations are up. Stores

30:41

are crowded. There's an abundance

30:43

of shoppers. And holiday parties

30:46

have commenced. I've seen

30:48

a lot of people on Facebook posting

30:50

these holiday party pictures. For many it's

30:52

a time of happiness and cheer. It's

30:54

a time to celebrate and appreciate being

30:56

with family and friends. But for others,

30:59

the holidays can be challenging. They

31:02

bring up difficult emotions, memories

31:05

and increased stress. And whether you're

31:07

full of holiday spirit or struggling

31:10

through, it's helpful to be

31:12

aware of some of the top crimes committed

31:14

so you can avoid being a victim. So,

31:18

the first one's obvious. Shoplifting.

31:20

I was gonna say, I'm driving. Well,

31:23

shoplifting from a retail store is

31:25

a common crime. It's no surprise

31:27

that even more common during the

31:30

holidays, shopping is at its

31:32

peak during the holiday season and

31:34

even with seasonal help, there's frequently

31:36

not enough employees to go around,

31:38

right? Yeah, their bags and

31:40

Christmas presents too for their people.

31:42

That's right. Shoplifters can

31:44

often take advantage of that.

31:48

If there's four employees and four hundred people in

31:50

the store, your shoplifters are

31:52

gonna be the ones swiping them. Shoplifting

31:55

definitely on the rise during the

31:57

holiday season. Robert, the

31:59

holiday season season major increase in

32:02

robberies robbers are aware that people

32:04

are often carrying more cash and

32:07

holiday crowds can provide a distraction

32:09

people are often robbed in public

32:11

places such as parking lots so

32:13

if you're you know getting

32:16

your Christmas goods and you're going out to

32:18

the parking lot from Best Buy you got

32:20

your keys in your hand around before you

32:22

get in the car cuz they're gonna run

32:25

it behind you and get your shit that's

32:27

right how about identity theft a major that

32:29

would be the number three on the

32:31

left with increased credit card debt credit

32:34

and debit card activity both online

32:36

and in store the risk of

32:38

ID theft is higher this time

32:40

of year these risk exists year-round

32:42

but they're heightened with the influx

32:44

of shopping that's right so they'll

32:47

steal your credit card numbers social

32:49

security numbers and other personal information

32:51

and use it to

32:53

make purchases of their own so be

32:56

aware of that and obviously with the internet

32:58

yeah a lot of people are buying off

33:00

Amazon they're keying in credit card numbers and

33:02

in other sites as well and

33:05

so there's a big spike in

33:07

identity theft and Mike mentioned it

33:10

earlier in drunk driving

33:12

DUI's or or

33:14

obviously higher during the

33:17

holiday season not only because they're drinking

33:19

but every department gets federal grants I

33:21

think it's called tops not tops lace

33:24

and they so

33:27

all the off-duty cops are out there

33:29

making overtime right now yeah well and

33:33

and but what leads to that

33:35

them being out there making overtime

33:37

doesn't necessarily lead to the drinking

33:39

drinking is considered to from the

33:41

season the holiday festivities that's right

33:44

consumption of a lot of alcohol

33:46

for Christmas parties you got you

33:48

got all that going on and

33:50

hey eggnog de-drink eggnog absolutely do

33:52

you really know I like it

33:56

Mike now I'm not a big eggnog

33:58

we may get home made with

34:01

our written... Yeah, I'm not an

34:03

eggnog guy but a lot of it going

34:05

around during the holidays and that can contribute

34:07

to just don't get behind a vehicle y'all.

34:09

I mean it's too easy to call a

34:12

neighbor. No, they do

34:14

they do roadblocks in California during

34:16

the holidays. They do them here.

34:19

Probably not as common. Just not worth it. Yeah,

34:22

not worth it at all. And finally

34:24

on this lesson something that kind of

34:26

surprised me a little bit but domestic

34:29

violence and assault. Higher during the holidays.

34:31

Absolutely. And nothing like leaving

34:33

the ones you love. Christmas

34:35

Eve eating. Well, you know

34:38

the general thought behind that

34:40

is it takes stressful time a

34:42

year for some people because maybe

34:45

you're not you don't have enough money to buy

34:47

all these Christmas gifts and you know. Maybe they

34:49

bought you some shit you didn't want. Or maybe

34:51

so. And maybe your mother-in-law is crawling up your

34:54

ass or following

35:00

laws and doing whatever.

35:02

Mother-in-life bitch mother-in-law. Get out

35:04

of the house. Well, it's funny

35:06

you should say that because family

35:09

violence among siblings and things like

35:11

that are at their heights during

35:13

the holidays obviously because they're together.

35:16

They're arguing. And they have to be

35:18

forced to be together most of the

35:20

time. Expigated by mother-in-laws. Yeah. So

35:23

that is shoplifting,

35:25

robbery, identity theft, drunk

35:27

driving and domestic violence

35:29

are your five top

35:32

crimes committed during the

35:34

holidays. And they get arrested on

35:36

Christmas Eve or the day before

35:39

Christmas Eve. Whatever. You're not going

35:41

for a judge for a while.

35:43

And I have a real life for

35:46

a crime original. We're gonna be dropping

35:48

on a murder that worked on Christmas

35:50

Eve. And we didn't get

35:52

an autopsy back until afterwards.

35:55

I'm gonna give it away. We

35:58

didn't know it was murder. I believe it is that. Stay

36:02

tuned. When you drop in there? The

36:04

original. The, I'm about to figure

36:06

it out. Saturday? We got

36:08

the, yeah, it'll be on Saturday, but

36:10

the, I don't

36:12

know, my dates are all fucked up. We'll

36:15

keep you in business. We'll keep you up,

36:17

honey. Yeah,

36:24

oh, all these mopes, y'all. So,

36:26

a little kinky. Crimes

36:28

for Monday. And

36:32

you're never gonna believe this, but you probably

36:34

will. A Florida man was

36:37

able to get out of a potential

36:39

arrest by anyone, anyone, Bueller,

36:43

by flashing his genitals at a police

36:45

officer. There you go. That's correct. He

36:47

got out of an arrest? That's correct.

36:49

Law enforcement officials in Port St. Lucie

36:51

received a complaint from a woman who

36:53

suspected a man was masturbating in his

36:55

car while sitting in the CVS parking

36:57

lot. The woman had not seen

37:00

the unidentified man's genitals, but noticed he

37:03

was making an up and down motion

37:05

in the area of his crotch. By

37:09

the time police arrived, the suspect had

37:11

gone into the CVS, and the responding

37:13

officer approached him as he exited the

37:15

store. The officer asked the man

37:17

to think about what he did in the parking

37:19

lot that would have brought the attention

37:22

to himself. Have the cops

37:24

called him. The suspect responded he

37:26

had gotten the urge to

37:28

scratch his tentacles. Because of

37:30

a rash he had.

37:32

Oh really? Don't move. All right.

37:35

Who could have been a little. He then asked the

37:37

officers, hey

37:39

look dude, you think I'm lying?

37:43

The cops like, and

37:46

the guy's like, let me show you. So

37:49

he whips out his

37:51

balls, and

37:53

the officer verified he did have a rash. A

37:57

very severe rash. And they, There

38:00

was their proof that it was masturbating guess what? Didn't

38:03

get arrested. Hey, that makes it Freakin

38:06

awesome. I'll pull my nuts

38:11

Fire nuts and the cop probably the

38:13

cops like damn. Okay. All right, I'm

38:15

gonna fuck Very you might

38:17

have it. He might have something

38:19

nobody had a name for yet. Yeah used

38:21

that cream He had a prescription for from

38:24

CBS. Yeah, you got scotch a shit again.

38:26

That's it I mean, he's like I almost

38:28

all keep crying. That was the least arousing

38:30

kinky crime story. Oh, well, they're not always

38:33

I always had snow. They only had

38:35

Harry bubble gum in it. Hey, I said red Harry

38:37

bubble. Oh How about that?

38:40

All of us can show you nuts to

38:43

the cops and don't get around right cops.

38:45

I don't happen every day All right, maybe

38:47

in my time. We're trying. Oh that shit

38:49

happens in my house. Yeah All

38:52

kinds of crazy very good.

38:54

How about some rain? Do Folks

39:06

I've been trying very very hard to bring

39:08

the holiday spirit into this show over the

39:11

last few episodes We've had

39:13

a couple of games. We had the crimes

39:16

committed by the Grinch Game

39:19

we had the top Christmas

39:21

special villains of all-time game Both

39:24

of those were a little bit disappointing

39:27

in terms of overall scores, but I

39:30

think today Grinch

39:34

game was actually pretty popular That's

39:37

one and it's one one right woody won the

39:39

Grinch game and Jim you won the You

39:42

won the villains of Christmas specials

39:44

game. So today I have

39:48

ten Christmas carols

39:50

and I'm

39:52

going to read

39:55

because I can't sing an excerpt

39:59

of lyrics from A Christmas

40:01

Carol and you have to tell

40:04

me what Christmas Carol is. No,

40:07

it's like official Carol or can it

40:09

be a movie song? No, these are

40:11

most popular Christmas Carols. With Clark looking

40:14

out the window and Dreamless Swimming Pool

40:16

and was it Phoebe Cates taking

40:18

off her top? Phoebe Cates. And what's that

40:20

song? The Hawaiian song. Don't you forget about

40:22

me. Wait, what song was playing when she

40:25

was on the double? It was a Hawaiian

40:27

song. It's

40:29

Marlon Longumukra. Oh yeah, yeah. And

40:32

then a little girl comes up and

40:34

he's like, oh, it's Santa Claus. Can

40:37

you really Santa Claus? And

40:39

he said, no. I

40:41

don't believe in Santa Claus. He said, why not? He

40:44

said, because I was good all last year and I

40:46

can get jack shit. Okay.

40:50

All right, back to that.

40:52

I'm sorry. Okay, so these

40:54

are 10 very popular Christmas

40:57

Carols. They're Christmas Carols of all

40:59

time. We get it. All right.

41:01

So, say one more.

believe. Grandma got run

45:10

over by a reindeer. Jim,

45:12

Grandma got run over by a reindeer. I

45:15

45:20

Just took me a minute because you don't

45:51

have my name. Okay. So that's your favorite

45:53

Christmas song? That and Lil Drummer Boy.

45:59

Choo-choo. question 7. He's probably got

46:01

that one. I do have a tiebreaker. I

46:04

do not have a little drummer voice, sorry, Woody. That's

46:07

a special song. You've

46:09

got termites in your smile. Grinch. Wow,

46:12

Jim comes back strong after

46:14

Deck the Halls. The

46:17

rest of that was you have all the tender

46:19

sweetness of a seasick crocodile. Okay,

46:21

number 8. He knows

46:24

if you've been bad or good, so be good. That's

46:27

not right. Yes,

46:30

it is. Rudolph the Rudolph. Stand across

46:32

from the town, baby. He knows if

46:34

you've been sleeping. Rudolph

46:36

the way. He knows if you've been good.

46:38

Rudolph doesn't know if you've been sleeping. I

46:40

bet you there's a Rudolph on the way.

46:42

Rudolph has no idea if you've been sleeping.

46:45

Okay, so when we... Let's try

46:47

to kill Rudolph. It's 3-3 now. Question

46:50

9. Faithful

46:52

friends who are dear to us will

46:54

be near to us once more.

46:57

No, have I got

47:00

an idea? Yeah.

47:05

Jim? Noelle.

47:08

That's have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I

47:12

thought you're gonna read more bars if

47:14

you... That was it. I mean, that's

47:16

all you had. Okay. I was waiting

47:18

for more bars. Number

47:20

10, and then we have a tiebreaker if we

47:23

need it. Where

47:26

the treetops glisten and children

47:28

listen to hear sleigh

47:30

bells in the snow. I

47:36

can't remember any of it. Bing

47:41

Crosby just rolled over. It's great. White

47:43

Christmas. I'll give you the hint.

47:48

Jimbo gets it. Since I

47:50

gave the hint, Woody will get one chance to

47:52

tie, but Jim, you can lock in. How the

47:54

fuck does that happen? I have an 11th question.

47:56

I want to hear it anyway. Then

48:02

one foggy Christmas Eve. We're on Red Nose

48:04

right there. The

48:07

easiest one. If

48:09

I ever shoot it, I'm all about it. Well,

48:12

you guys know your Christmas carols

48:15

a lot better than you know

48:17

your Christmas special villains. Right. Very

48:20

good. Very good. Now, look, while we're

48:22

on this subject, what is everybody... So

48:25

you said your favorite Christmas song.

48:28

My favorite Christmas song is

48:30

Oh Holy Night. And

48:32

I'll tell you what, Carrie

48:35

Underwood, when she sings that song, will

48:37

move me to tears. Literally.

48:40

And then it sings all of a sudden. Nice. She

48:42

moves me to tears. Amazing. No, but

48:44

it is... Look, that song is a powerful role. Yeah, she's

48:47

a bit... She's that. And she really kills

48:49

it well. She scares me. Josh Groban does a

48:51

good job on that. Everything she started talking about...
