SPEAKER_01

Okay, it's time now for people behaving badly. Oh my gosh. You're just talking about what? I've got two. What? Oh, you were just talking about Target. And even you it was the in reference to all the clearance things and things like that. But this exact same thing used to happen at JCPenney's. This couple used their baby to steal Pokemon cards from Target, which is a more common occurrence than I think you realize.

SPEAKER_02

Y'all I'm sure it is. I mean, because when I read it, I'm like, who would do this? And then I'm like, oh well, there are people.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you stuff it in underneath. Oh, and and I think if I was security, because we had some pretty awesome security guards when I worked at JCPenney's, I think I would feel weird, be like, can I look through your carriage, your stroller?

SPEAKER_02

Well, I think you have to ask.

SPEAKER_01

Can you lift up the baby, please?

SPEAKER_02

Couple uses baby to steal Pokemon cards. Uh so uh it turns out in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a couple recently used their baby and their baby's carrier, just as you were saying, to steal 94 Pokemon cards, which are not cheap, from Target. And it turns out that uh this couple arrested uh in the parking lot and booked for organized retail organized retail crime and larceny. You know what I would do? I would say, it was the baby. Book him. Interestingly enough, cop him. Don't you want to know what happened to the baby? I mean, like your parents just got arrested. I I assumed foster care, to be honest. That's kind of what it is. Baby was released to a friend uh after their arrest. The uh card's worth $470.

SPEAKER_01

Which really isn't that much in the grand scheme of stealing.

SPEAKER_02

No, but I think that crosses that line into the uh, you know, more of instead of being a lightweight crime, like you know, oops, I forgot to check out my 12 pack of water to more like, ah, that's that's a pretty big one.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, sure. I'm I mean, I guess because I'm I'm guessing they're probably re repeat offenders because you don't just I think you start with like two packs of cards and then it's four packs of cards.

SPEAKER_02

I love your analyzing this.

SPEAKER_01

And then it's $470 worth. Also It's a slippery slope. I don't want your baby. I'm well, your baby probably shouldn't be with you if you have a life of crime. But all of a sudden I'm your friend and hey, gotta take the baby.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Or I'm going to jail.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'm in lockup. Can you come get uh junior? That's not the dog.

SPEAKER_01

Right, but that's the one phone call you get is you have to call your friend to come get your baby. But you know what? Those friends know. They know they're shady friends.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah. You know, I mean, to their face they're supportive, but then to their behind their back, they're like, uh, this couple had kids, really? This is uh this is what are we thinking?

SPEAKER_01

Besides retesting for our driver's license, parental tests.

SPEAKER_02

Parental tests is also a good one. See, it's funny. I would have a different feeling if they were like, it was a can of baby formula. Because then I know maybe there's I'm not saying that I I think it should be right that you freely allow people to steal baby formulas. Right. There are other options. But I can look the other way. I I would be less likely, I would look, it would be if I was in the security of whatever store, I'd probably be like, are what is happening? I mean, if it's like one can't, now it's a whole case of it. I know you're putting it on the black market of baby formula, but you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, it's the same thing as, and we all have experienced this in the workplace. Somebody is either slipping or missing days, and at first you go, What's going on here? Is everything okay? And then once you miss six times, you're like, oh.

SPEAKER_02

All right, you're taking advantage. Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_01

You're just sleeping in, taking the days off.

SPEAKER_02

The other one, and this oddly kind of ties in with like Pokemon and anime and that whole universe and all that, a Houston man behaving badly, uh, also in trouble for threatening the governor's office over uh a law the man alleged said prevented him from watching anime. Why? Allegedly he left threats.

SPEAKER_01

Is it something with it porn? Because that anime porn, I swear it was like a little out there.

SPEAKER_02

Uh he left threatening uh messages uh after a new uh decency law has made it harder for him to watch anime streaming on uh the service Crunchyroll. I don't know what that is. Be careful if you decide to Google Crunchyroll. This is what the guy said. It's affecting everybody, even over the ages of 18. I had a mental breakdown. Hold on a second. He just may have implied that it is something that you were thinking about on the naughty side.

SPEAKER_01

You said decency.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. So he goes, even the over the ages of 18.

SPEAKER_00

At the end of the day, I allegedly left the voicemail. I don't even remember what I said during the thing. I don't even feel like that was the exact words that I said. I don't know. I'd have to listen to the movie.

SPEAKER_01

So I'll also I I've never been into anime whatsoever, but I always think it's a little unusual that something so fake is the thing that gets your rocks off.

SPEAKER_02

I don't understand that either.
