4:20 this all back this whole episode I think in the 50s just everyone was white there I think maybe more in Nebraska right maybe not yet I don't know another hot spot for black folks dude nobody wants to go to Nebraska they were still in Baldwin Hills until you brought it up I forgot it was a state dude I forgot it was a good place you forgot about Nebraska yeah they're good at not attracting guys like us to go there they're low-key Nebraska solo key yeah they're like oh we're good we're good what would you do in Nebraska play football what oh yeah all you do is you you go outside you put your hands on your hips you go that's a mighty fine Town it is if you go back that's all you do then their college have a really good football team Nebraska yeah the Corn Huskers so that's where all the black

5:11 people are they're on the football yeah they're on the football team but not in the 50s yeah so you escaped yeah dates from prison after so he's in prison for a time right like eight year stretch yeah whoa he takes um these rubber masks that they found in the prison yard and razor blades and he's actually manages to file off one of the bars on his window whoa the classic like you know very Classic this is the blueprint he started it he took the rubber mask and made it look like his head's on the pillow and he crawled out and he crawled out of the Winds Alcatraz that's how they escaped nothing wow yeah similar and then so he got out and then somehow he how to get to Australia somehow yeah that's pretty crazy yeah what the heck maybe on a cargo ship he managed to obtain a phony identity papers he assumed the name of John Damon and became a Salesman wow and he he kept

6:02 on relocating so he moved to Cincinnati and then he moved to to Miami and then um it was a tight movie yeah this movie's yeah badass his family ended up moving to New Zealand or him and his family end up moving to New Zealand also he made an new family in America oh we got in the states yeah he got a wife right they ended up having marriage troubles he divorces her he gets with his second wife they decide to move to New England right and she was she was a New Zealand because she was a foreign exchange student wow and then they had a son and daughter and then they moved to New Zealand in 92. so she's originally from New Zealand I don't it doesn't say it just says she was a foreign exchange student and then they settled in Australia about 97 and he earned a respectable living He spared no expense for his kids and their educations and he was almost overly supportive of what one of his kids said he was so he didn't blow his second chance basically yeah apparently not he learned a lot in

6:53 prison now what was his sentence supposed to be my life it doesn't say if you blow both of your parents murder yeah double murder it says that he pled guilty and sent a letter of apology to his neighbor so he was like sorry for the noise send an apology to the neighbors sorry for the titties we were shooting too yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you know what's funny that the thought that he did all this effort to get away but he could have just lived next to the jail they weren't looking for him at all I know right yeah like yeah how yeah how strong of a ████ search the date it's like Catch Me If You Can with no one chasing you yeah seriously because yeah I guess I had to relocate a couple times so he's obviously being careful about it damn what a smart kid back then it was probably easy to just like when you're

7:43 in a different country you're in a different country he's better than career criminals after like one in practice Yeah that's pre-dnation and he did juvenile crime so like like if you would have did that now yeah he would have he would have got he'd have to like be a hacker to get away now yeah yeah because now you're in the system yeah like when someone's in trouble like with the with flying flightless no fly list back then you could pay for a ticket cash that's true at the airport that's right there was no TSA and then you just go do you remember back in the day like the good old days we were able to go up to the actual place where they were uh deplaning you could say bye at the tunnel thingy oh yeah yeah oh yeah and we used to be able to pick up people at the gate yeah at their gate that's true I remember that ████ dude there was no ████ like TSA thing that no giant

8:33 buffer yeah then yeah you can walk in you can eat together at the restaurants there yeah they leave you actually make your flight on time dude yeah I remember being a little kid and then like picking up people at the airport with my family like they would just park in that middle parking structure yeah and go walk across the street and I remember specifically because I was so hyped that day that I ran across during um I ran across traffic to see somebody and then my mom was like holy ████ and all these cars were stopping and this bus stopped in front of me and then my impulsive ass was like what and then there's this big ass bus there and I looked over I was like oh ████ and then I guess a lot of cars were honking and like yeah yeah you could even stewardess ass and she would just go Mr jutsukawa you crazy boy

9:23 my first sweet cheeks yo my first time flying was a year after 9 11. whoa no way how'd I feel yeah that's that white people ████ it was it was a little weird because I mean yeah I mean I never first I've never flown so I didn't know what it was like and then also like knowing uh just from Arizona to Vegas oh okay yeah and and so like I don't know it was kind of scary I wish I knew it was I wish I was sitting next to you and I knew that and I was like ████ away you're just sitting there like ████ looking down the aisle just ████ ready to ████ pop off you know what sex is that that time of flying it really did suck for anybody that was uh yeah it was frightening if you were Arab or you had an Arab sounding name yeah I had friends that that changed their name that year yeah really oh so much ████

10:13 was popping off Nadeem always gets uh randomly searched and randomly questioned at the gym please step through this sir please so it must feel like a night and day difference today right I am for sure but like still it's I mean that was for my first experience tensions were high yeah it was like I think it was like 15 a lot of cheap flights that year a lot of cheap flights yeah no one's going anywhere kind of on this story's topic um Hannah's great grandfather had a second family here in America what yeah because he was like uh he was like he worked on on the ships or something because uh in Wales it was like a big Port so they would go back and forth America all these places and so he he

11:05 had like two families it must be so hard when they did like a DNA test and all these other things they would like they found out like oh ████ there's like American relatives wow apparently he was a really cool great grandfather like to the family here in America but then he was he had a favorite yeah does Hannah want to like connect with us he's like interesting I think some of their relatives reached out and then some of them didn't I guess like the history that they were told oh because he was a pleasant dude here but over there in the UK he was a ████ he was a mean guy he was a pretty yeah brutal dude you think it was the weather yeah like there's a story about all the girls the food the food and the weather he was like all the grandparents the the the kids of the great grandpa right they conspired to ████ kill him whoa so they all

11:56 they all got weapons they were getting he was that bad and when he was coming downstairs they were just gonna Ambush his ass and just ████ beat him to death and then like what are you nodding like you've been there so true it sounds like this story yeah yeah yeah I think back in the day everyone just want to kill their parents right it is kind of similar but like it but like honestly like that that was such a common thing back in the day for like dudes to have like multiple ████ families it was so ████ common yeah I wonder if that was a flex too did you tell your friends it probably was and it was just you just have one family yeah yeah but also like I feel like people didn't just hook up like you had to if you wanted to bone somebody like you had to go and get married and like that's why Vegas had that shotgun wedding ████

12:46 because I think I don't care yeah because he wanted a bone so you just got married so because we were probably following that Christian value of like no sex till marriage yeah damn yeah I don't think I could do that's too many ████ people no sex until Elvis marries us yeah no yeah it's a lot of work man that's a lot of ████ work why [Music]
