0:00 what are you serious yeah it was just horses here in America yeah no the meatballs was horses no was dipped in [Music] gravy do you remember this electronic store the good guy there used to be one on Atlantic over there yeah you don't remember that I didn't grow up in La I don't know this oh is it just La really I'm pretty sure there was one in citos too yeah there were the good guys Circuit City best circity radio radio Well Radio Shacks was the small one right small one Fri Electronics was Daddy fries when you think of when you think of good guys what do you think of what's some memories that you have computers that's it it doesn't it does it nothing else comes to mind I remember it being similar to Circuit City I
0:51 remember it being like Best Buy like that kind of electronics department oh there's probably some crazy reason why they closed down you know what there's not I don't think there is I think they really just suck went bankrupt like most plac everybody did cuz the online killed them but well how the Best Buy survive Best Buy dying too right Best Buy got hurt but they pivoted really hard into so basically their model is now like go check them out before you go buy from Amazon and then they're going to try to undercut Amazon way there what that's interesting yep or a price match so you just go home with it right right away so the the mo the most the most uh the biggest thing about good guys is that most people didn't know this I completely didn't know this in 1991 they were the um a really one of
1:44 the biggest hostage situations took place at Good Guys no way oh yes when they were out rifles and ████ four Vietnamese dudes yes like they were like teen they were like teenagers these four Viet guys what do they do came in with guns and they held hostage 30 people I thought it was some Asian boy gangster what were they doing they're trying to rob it or what were they trying they were so what they were doing is I guess like what happened is we need a helicopter according to them yeah that is what happened according to them um this Vietnamese family uh I guess their families that had moved to America were just really dissatisfied with like the kind of life that they had they couldn't get good jobs apparently it came from frustration in some way that the four of them the 19 21 and the other two guys are 17 and
2:34 they're all family um they're related like that I think no the three of them are brothers one of them was a friend so it was because of them they they shut down good guys huh no I don't think that's why but um yeah they they basically went in there and they took 30 people hostage they demanded bulletproof vests 4 million in cash a helicopter that would take them to I believe Thailand smart that's stupid the gas won they'll run out of gas they ask for they ask for gun give me a car I need to drive drive toand and then they also demanded a thousand-year-old ginger root plant um for energy yeah so the police that said a the police I want a helicopter I want a million dollar and I want a Big Mac with a cheese so the police started to give
3:25 them like little by little the things they asked for they would they brought like a uh the first vest like okay yeah and then they the the gunman would have they would have the talk and retrieve the items so hostage went out and grabbed the vest and then at one point um give me my Ginger time the second vest was put down on the ground they sent a hostage out to go grab it but then at that moment because he had opened the door one of the gunmen was like visible through the door so the snip sniper tried to take a shot and didn't hit him so then the then the four Dudes started killing like killing the hostage and then but then while they were while that whole thing like happened they started shooting them there was a I guess like for hours another team had breached from the back and they were moving in really slowly that's their sty when the ████ hit the fan they just moved in they infiltrated from the
4:16 inside the four guys got killed on the spot uh they were they were able to kill three of the hostages during that like damn cuz they just start they had them lined up and then when that ████ went crazy they started like and a bunch of them got shot but only three of them I'm surprised he didn't just tear gas it right away yeah I don't know why this was actually this was actually in sack wow yeah and then uh the fourth guy uh was arrested but he got the ginger root so he stayed alive yeah he lived forever it says he became the next Highlander he's the do Lama that fo's like oh ████ but he was he was convicted in 95 51 counts that included murder kidnapping a bunch of other charges and uh and he was sentenced to 41 consecutive life sentences God he can
5:08 handle cuz he's going to live forever which good thing he got that Ginger it's appropriate appropriate that means he's going to be out pretty soon clutch play yeah he's uh 51 now and he's still at Solano Prison in Vacaville 51 I had no idea he might be like the Godfather of all Vietnamese in the prison he goes I was here first you know yeah he's like the cuz he's been in there since a teenager can you imagine being locked up 17 years old and you're 51 and all you know he was 21 when it happened he was the oldest oh that also means that all you know he stayed in jail through like the internet everything cell phones like easy commercial fight and Resorts right yeah by the time he
5:59 learned the marar it it was done it was over damn yeah that's what makes it like cruel and unusual punishment is that they're making the prisoners do it he's like this so out of style terrible terrible yeah the um it's crazy because like not a lot of people remember good guys but then people that do remember it for this I I didn't even know they had a hostage situation yeah that was in ' 91 I always just like them cuz they seemed like at least the ones that I went to it seemed like that was like the uh nicer of the electron stores yeah I felt like they had like less packed into the shelves yeah um cuz I remember like Circuit City felt like more discount for some reason I don't know this is my like 10-year-old perception of it but good guys I felt like they'll put something and then they'll have like track lighting shine on it so I felt like when you walked into good guys you're like wow everything's nice in here I remember
6:50 getting the their advertisements and then you could see like a like like I AT&T like ████ desktop for $500 or whatever remember when they had the computer sets and then oh yeah came together yeah and then you get their like like Gateway or HP or yeah and you could get the whole setup the reason I even found this story is because I was talking to smack about it and she was like or we were talking about like commercials and she's like oh the good guys commercials were the best and I was like what do you know about good guys and she's like yeah we had that in Australia and it was the same thing yeah they had good guys in Australia and their commercials were known for being the best over there they would make like music commercials that looked really theatrical and huge and I was like what did we have commercials like that and then I Googled like what our commercials were here and all that came up was the hostage story I was like I don't
7:40 remember this ████ I remember the Circuit City commercials would always end with like a plug yeah building that's the whole building yeah I love that that was TI by the way remember Fri Electronics doing the themes yeah it's like the crash UFO in the LA one right yeah that was cool that one in Escondido California where I grew up there was a ████ it was like underwater oh cool like the whole store like was filled with aquariums of like huge like like huge fish and ████ one time I saw a scuba diver in there it was crazy bro their budget for design it was insane now they can't get any of those buildings like leas to anybody no cuz everyone's like uh we can't handle this kind of like huge amount of square massive yeah it's football fields dude in there Amazon just killed retail huh killed them yeah

9:21 same time it was like the it was like a Roswell them yeah I remember liking fries cuz you could bargain with them and I didn't even know cuz I was just you could haggle at fries I didn't even know they cuz they started it I was just looking around like oh sir would you like to buy a TV whatever I don't know they like you get it right now take like 10 15% off I like you you will like yeah I'm like what if I get like a DVD player and that then like I'll work something out with you and then we would like work he would like work something out and like remember they stand at the computer and like print out this like sheet that you yeah the price would just be cheaper than what you saw yeah exactly my dad used to do like cuz my dad's a computer guy always has been I wish I knew yeah and I'd be like okay I'm always going to fries in I was buying like RAM and ████ there all the time like painful price I built my computer there like in 2016 I think that was the last time I went there oh I used to go like when I needed to get major fixes I would go there
10:12 versus Geek Squad I remember buying a Age of Empires 2 wow and that's cool I went home and it wouldn't work on my computer cuz it had to be upgraded so I just sat there with the game going ████ man I got to wait like a whole half a year until I get upgrades yeah fries was really cool fries was the best the best we went to that uh I guess on the eating side it had been so dead for so long cuz no one actually ever eats there they just like buy drinks or whatever I thought it' be funny for me and smack to like go actually eat there and then we went over there and there was one kid working and we were like oh uh can we get the grilled cheese and the tomato soup and he was just like I have to ask how to make the grilled cheese and he had to go get this other lady supervisor to come out and then we had to stand there while she's teaching him
