00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040
Hi everyone, this is Deb from Dying to be Found.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,840
Before we get started, I just wanted to say that episodes contain disturbing discussions

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,400
on harmful acts and crimes against animals and or humankind.

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,640
Recordings are not intended for young or sensitive audiences due to the content nature of this

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:18,640
podcast.

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,920
Listener discretion is strongly advised.

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,520
Hi everyone, I'm Deb, your host for Dying to be Found, a true crime podcast.

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,960
If you are new around here, thanks so much for joining in because you really picked a

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,340
good episode.

10
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:40,700
My son Cory is here to listen to one of my tales today.

11
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:45,420
If our listeners have been around a while, you know I love to pull in a different family

12
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:51,840
member each week and by now you've heard Beth, Shelby, and today you know that having

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,640
Cory here means that you're going to get a rough and tough episode of true crime.

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Cory, what did you think of our last episode of DB Cooper?

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Oh, it was fun.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
It was really interesting.

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I like that kind of stuff.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Little mystery there.

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Okay.

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,400
We want to know what our listeners think of season two so far, so be sure to DM us at

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,240
Dying to be Found or message us when you see our post on social media.

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,880
This is episode number 56 of Dying to be Found and Cory, I really have a good one today.

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,880
I'm really excited about this storyline.

24
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Yeah, it'll be a good one.

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,120
I don't know the names, but I know of the story, so basically going in this blind.

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,120
Good.

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,120
I like it that way.

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,640
I like to keep surprises and then it just leaves everything open for interpretation,

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,680
of course, because that's all in our name.

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,000
So today we're going to be talking about Frank Morris and the England brothers.

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,800
I know before we started recording, I asked if you even knew who these people were and

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,260
of course I told you Cory that we're going to be talking about Escape from Alcatraz.

33
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:55,440
So we'll get to them in just a moment, but first you have experience in law enforcement

34
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,200
and around here, everyone starts working at a county jail before you can go on and do

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,480
what you really want to do.

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,080
Do you want to give us one of your best stories from working with inmates?

37
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,120
The best story, I don't, yeah, it makes me sick talking about it.

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,240
I don't know if I want to say it.

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,680
They just get really, really desperate in there.

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,320
Yeah, there's how bad do you want me to go on this?

41
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,960
I won't like cuss or anything, but it's just really gross.

42
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Oh yeah.

43
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Okay.

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,960
Do it.

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:26,960
I'm ready.

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Hey, listen, I'm usually the one that is giving the gross part of the story, so I'll take it

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,280
from you today.

48
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,280
Okay.

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,480
So there was this guy that I think he was in the jail for aggravated assault and I think

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,400
he just got sentenced and after they get sentenced, then they kind of lose their marbles.

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,160
This guy comes over the intercom.

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,120
I can't remember what he was complaining about, but he wanted something and he wasn't getting

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,120
his way.

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,520
So he says, all right, I'll show you, so we run out there and we don't know what to expect.

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,760
And we get there and there he is naked in the shower.

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,640
He had defecated on the floor and he picked it up and put it in his mouth and started

57
00:02:58,640 --> 00:02:59,640
chewing.

58
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:00,640
Oh.

59
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,880
We weren't really sure what to do at that point.

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,880
What did you do?

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,880
Oh my gosh.

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,760
I actually tried to tase him, but my taser malfunctioned.

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,400
So I ended up not being able to tase him.

64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,840
Now he was in the shower.

65
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,840
Would you have gotten electrocuted?

66
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,480
No, the shower wasn't on.

67
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,480
He was just in there.

68
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,480
He was just having a little tantrum.

69
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,480
Okay.

70
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Yeah.

71
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,480
I've got a thousand stories, but that was-

72
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,480
Okay.

73
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Now you said he was on the intercom.

74
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Yeah.

75
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,000
They've got a little intercom that they can talk to the main tower through.

76
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Oh, okay.

77
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,680
So if they need things like soap and whatnot, we can grab that and bring it down to him.

78
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,720
But he just has a lot of anger issues and doesn't know how to control them.

79
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,080
And he just went to the extreme and I've got a thousand stories, but that is the one that

80
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,600
really stuck with me.

81
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,720
That's the one that came to mind automatically because we're not on script here.

82
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,720
Wow.

83
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,720
Okay.

84
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Well, thanks for that.

85
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Yeah.

86
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,720
I was nauseous for the rest of the day.

87
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,720
I'll bet you were.

88
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,080
Today we are talking about the infamous escape from Elcatraz case.

89
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,240
I know you've probably seen a movie of this once or twice, right, Corey?

90
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,240
Yeah.

91
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,040
There's, I mean, I'm not really a big movie guy, but there is that one movie where it

92
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,520
turns out he was in it the whole time.

93
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,600
I can't remember what it's called.

94
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,320
I think the guy from Titanic's in it.

95
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,320
I don't know.

96
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Not a movie guy.

97
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,400
I know Clint Eastwood had directed one.

98
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,040
I think it was the original version called escape from Elcatraz.

99
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,760
That is way before your time.

100
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,840
But I also think there, there was a movie called the rock and it had Sean Connery in

101
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:26,920
it and maybe the guy was that wrestlers name that goes by the rock.

102
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,200
I think he was in it too.

103
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,720
Oh, Dwayne the rock Johnson.

104
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,720
Yeah.

105
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,720
I think he was in that one too.

106
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,840
Anyway, lots of history behind Elcatraz and it is also known as the rock, which is a

107
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,360
small Island located directly off of the San Francisco Bay in California.

108
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,360
It was made into a maximum security prison that dates all the way back to the civil war.

109
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,360
Did you even know that?

110
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,360
No, I didn't know it was at all.

111
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,360
Neither did I.

112
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,760
I think that it was a fort at one time and then they turned it into apparently the most

113
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,760
secure prison in the United States by 1934.

114
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,720
They had, I don't know what you call that.

115
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,040
Is it decommissioned?

116
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Like they decommissioned the fort.

117
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:08,960
Yeah, I think that's right.

118
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,200
And then they recommissioned it into a maximum security prison, which was the most secure

119
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,240
prison for its time back in 1934.

120
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,760
And during its active periods, Corey, several famous inmates were housed at Elcatraz.

121
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,640
Don't know if you've heard of anybody that I'm about to mention Al Capone, also known

122
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,640
as Scarface.

123
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,480
He was in there for tax evasion.

124
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,320
How about George Machine Gun Kelly?

125
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,760
I think that's a rapper.

126
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Okay.

127
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,080
Well, he stole it.

128
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,720
He stole it from the guy that was sent there for kidnapping a wealthy oil executive way

129
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,720
back in the day.

130
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,720
Probably not the same.

131
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,720
Yeah, probably not.

132
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,000
I would say probably not.

133
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,440
And then Robert Stroud, who is also known as the Birdman of Alcatraz, he was actually

134
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:02,360
sent there at some point where he was known for studying birds in other prisons and he

135
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,200
was allowed to have birds wherever he was kept.

136
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,160
But once they sent him to Alcatraz, they wouldn't let him have the birds, but he was known as

137
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,880
the Birdman of Alcatraz.

138
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,000
I don't really know much about him, but I definitely have heard of Al Capone and I may

139
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,520
have heard of Machine Gun Kelly and it was not the rapper.

140
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:27,000
But Alcatraz was established to be an elite maximum prison, not for the rich, but for

141
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,760
the tough prisoners, Corey, who refused to follow the rules established in other prisons

142
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,400
throughout the United States.

143
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,160
So any of the, I don't know what you call them, cronies, any of the people that just

144
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,240
absolutely would not follow the rules were sent to Alcatraz.

145
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,260
Prisoners would earn privileges for good behavior in Alcatraz and if they complied, they would

146
00:06:50,260 --> 00:06:57,760
have access to jobs, family visits, access to books, and engage in recreational activities.

147
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,400
Doesn't that sound like today's prison system?

148
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,680
Yeah, it sounds a lot like it.

149
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,520
If these were luxuries that they got back in the 1930s, honestly, Corey, I really think

150
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,120
back in those days, they just sent people off to prison to rot and honestly, that's

151
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,200
all I can think of.

152
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,720
So earning privileges back then were really, really big.

153
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,000
It's standard today, but you know how things obviously change over time.

154
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,400
Yeah, and they get pretty unhappy whenever they do lose those privileges, but I mean,

155
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,400
they're for a reason.

156
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,280
They couldn't follow the rules outside of prison, so they got sent to prison.

157
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,280
Yeah, that's true.

158
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Can't follow the rules there, kind of like it falls through.

159
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,520
Yeah, domino effect, sure.

160
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,840
Well, personally, I wanted to see if Alcatraz was a manmade island because I've seen the

161
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,280
picture and to me, it simply does not look like a natural island.

162
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,720
It's a random island that sits off the coast in the San Francisco Bay area.

163
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,520
I don't know if you've actually, I know you've seen pictures.

164
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Yeah, I'm pulling up a picture right now.

165
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,440
Well, the majority of it is made up of rock.

166
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,000
Obviously, this is why they call it the rock.

167
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,780
And the best way that I can describe it is that Alcatraz sits on some geological plates

168
00:08:01,780 --> 00:08:07,120
that I'm going to let you and our listeners go look up because it's very technical.

169
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,200
And you know, a couple of things, Corey, when you do this podcast with me, you learn a little

170
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,920
bit about your mother.

171
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,560
I don't even know if you knew that I failed my geology class in college.

172
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,560
Did you know that?

173
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,560
I did not know that.

174
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,480
I am not a scientist in any way, shape or form.

175
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,840
Corey, I didn't fail that class once.

176
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,720
I failed it not even twice.

177
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,720
I failed it.

178
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,960
My third attempt in summer school, I could not pass geology to save my life.

179
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,160
Not really a big fan of school either.

180
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,600
So you got your doctorate.

181
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,720
Well it took me a long time.

182
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,200
Go look up how that island was formed.

183
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,400
It's sitting on a bunch of geological platelets, whatever you call those these days.

184
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:54,320
And Alcatraz was built in the middle of the San Francisco Bay because military and corrections

185
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,320
officials believed that between the icy cold waters and strong currents, these would deter

186
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,760
prisoners from ever trying to escape.

187
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:10,680
But they were wrong because during the 29 years that Alcatraz remained in operation,

188
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:15,640
36 men attempted to escape over 14 separate occasions.

189
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:21,680
Most of them were caught or did not survive the bay's rough conditions, but three inmates

190
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:26,080
did make their escape and to this day, Corey, they've never been found.

191
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,080
It's actually a smaller number that I would think people would try to escape.

192
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,760
The successful one too, but I mean it's really rough conditions.

193
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,000
I mean I'm not going to go swimming in that water.

194
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,200
I'm not going to go out there either.

195
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,560
You know me and sharks and I heard great white sharks really love to feed off the seals in

196
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:41,560
that area.

197
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:43,280
It's cold water, but they're still there.

198
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,360
Yeah, I've heard it's very shark infested over there, but yeah, they definitely like

199
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,120
the colder water because that's where all the seals are at.

200
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,120
Absolutely.

201
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,240
We're going to talk about the infamous prison break that was not meant to be.

202
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,560
There were three men involved with some very intricate planning.

203
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:04,320
Originally Corey, there were four men that should have made this escape, but one of them

204
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,360
never made it out of his cell on time on the night that the other three did escape.

205
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,800
Not sure what deterred him at the time, but apparently the men had timed everything perfectly

206
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,880
and one of them just couldn't get away to make that escape.

207
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,840
Probably forgot to send his alarm.

208
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Probably so.

209
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,520
Well, the first of the three men to escape Alcatraz was Frank Morris.

210
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:32,320
He was assigned to this maximum security prison in 1960 after being convicted for bank robbery,

211
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,560
burglary and multiple attempts of escaping other prison systems.

212
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:41,040
He was currently serving a 10 year sentence.

213
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:46,600
Frank was considered a man of high intelligence and you'll see why in just a bit, but he was

214
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,800
actually measured to have an IQ of 133.

215
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,800
Just to give you perspective of this Corey, I don't know if you know much about the IQ

216
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,800
measurements.

217
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,800
Yeah, I do.

218
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,800
Do you now?

219
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,800
Yeah, I've looked into it.

220
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,800
Oh cool.

221
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Okay.

222
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,800
Not much, but I've looked into it.

223
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,800
I've done a little bit of research.

224
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,800
Okay.

225
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,880
Frank Morris, he was supposedly around 160.

226
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,720
I don't think that he was formerly measured, but people believe that he was right around

227
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,720
there.

228
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,560
So honestly, Frank is not too far off from that as far as his intelligence.

229
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,040
He was just a really smart guy.

230
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,560
I don't think I'd want to be that smart.

231
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:21,560
That's just too smart.

232
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:25,760
Honestly, Corey, when people are that smart, first of all, their personalities are really

233
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,760
different.

234
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Yeah.

235
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,760
What do you do with all that smartness?

236
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:34,200
A lot of serial killers are of high intelligence just from my experience and research.

237
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,200
I wanted to give you just a little bit of a background because Frank really didn't have

238
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,100
it easy growing up.

239
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:45,260
He was abandoned by his family and placed into an orphanage at the age of 11.

240
00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:50,640
He had moved between foster homes quite a bit as an adolescent and began his criminal

241
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,580
activities when he was probably around the age of 14.

242
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:59,680
So he just didn't have a lot of role models in those formative years.

243
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:04,720
And interestingly enough, I discovered that the guys that I'm talking about today, Corey,

244
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,760
they all have Southern roots.

245
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,100
Frank was an active bank robber out of Louisiana where he was first in prison, but sent to Alcatraz

246
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:14,280
after those numerous escapes.

247
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:20,240
The England brothers that I'm going to talk about next, they come from Alabama, Florida,

248
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,240
and Georgia.

249
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,240
Oh, oh.

250
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,560
Shortly after Frank was sent to Alcatraz, John and Clarence England arrived there as

251
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:31,520
well to serve a 35 year sentence each for bank robbery.

252
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,240
So it seemed to be the thing of the time, right?

253
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Yeah.

254
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,640
So what all the cool kids are doing.

255
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,080
John and Clarence were two of 14 children.

256
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:45,240
And like I mentioned, they were active criminals in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.

257
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,680
They came from a very poor family of crop pickers and also began their criminal careers

258
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,000
as teenagers.

259
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,560
And just like Frank Morris, the England brothers also attempted to escape prison several times

260
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:01,120
and they were sent to Alcatraz to finish out their sentence.

261
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,840
I'm going to mention this fourth man that I had said was supposed to make this escape

262
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,840
at the same time as the other three.

263
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,800
Allen West was serving time at Alcatraz for car theft after serving time in the Atlanta

264
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,180
penitentiary and Florida state prison systems.

265
00:13:17,180 --> 00:13:21,980
He is that fourth guy who never made it out of his cell on time because you said he didn't

266
00:13:21,980 --> 00:13:23,440
set his alarm.

267
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,440
Like Morris and the England brothers, he also made multiple attempts to escape and off he

268
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,800
went to Alcatraz.

269
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:35,120
So that was just for the unreformed criminals and people that made multiple escapes constantly

270
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,480
being sent obviously to maximum security.

271
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:38,480
Yeah.

272
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,720
I mean, it seems like they didn't have the best childhoods and especially, you know,

273
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,160
getting passed around with different homes, that's going to take a toll on a child, especially

274
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,160
at that early age.

275
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,640
And yeah, typically 14 years old is a prime time for them to start doing petty crimes

276
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,840
and it escalates from there.

277
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,480
Because it's how, especially with gangs, they'll start at that age, they'll start breaking

278
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,000
into cars and whatnot and start to steal things from gas stations, just smaller stuff and

279
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
it escalates from there and they have to build their reputation up.

280
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,680
Usually starts early before they're 18 and a lot of the time they know that they can't

281
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,080
get in trouble because they're, I mean, they're kids.

282
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,920
They can't get in trouble until 17 years old.

283
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,960
So they're already manipulating the system.

284
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,960
Oh yeah.

285
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,800
At the very beginning of their lives, yeah.

286
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,560
And they don't have any kind of family figures, any strong role models.

287
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,560
So that's why they turn to crime because they've got people around them that are basically

288
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,560
acting as family.

289
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Yeah.

290
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,760
I think I did an episode one time on gang related activities and that was a thing.

291
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,480
And we're talking about those 14 year old boys who did consider gang members, their

292
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,480
family members.

293
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,480
Oh, that's a shame.

294
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,480
Oh yeah.

295
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Well, Frank Morris, John and Clarence England and Alan West were already familiar with each

296
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,840
other before they got to Alcatraz because they had spent time together in some of those

297
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,000
prison systems that I had already mentioned.

298
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,900
And as luck would have it, they had adjoining cells.

299
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:05,520
So what do you think that they were up to almost immediately?

300
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,960
Oh, you've got nothing but time to plan.

301
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,300
Absolutely.

302
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:17,000
And I'll tell you this, they worked meticulously for over a year to escape from Alcatraz.

303
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Yeah.

304
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000
You got to do it right.

305
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Make sure everything's perfect.

306
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Take that time.

307
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,760
I mean, they're probably serving upwards of 10 years.

308
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,120
So I mean, what's one year of planning?

309
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,120
Yeah, absolutely.

310
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,880
To make sure they get it right because otherwise they'll get more charges if they get caught,

311
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,880
if they don't get it perfect.

312
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,880
Yeah.

313
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,120
And you know, I didn't really see anything on if Alan West got any charges for being

314
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,120
involved.

315
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,800
But we'll get into his conversation a little bit later because a lot of this information

316
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,100
comes from him on that planning and everything that went behind it.

317
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:50,320
They all began planning in December of 1961.

318
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:58,460
Frank, John, Clarence, and Alan all began using spoons from the cafeteria to chip away

319
00:15:58,460 --> 00:15:59,800
at the concrete walls.

320
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,560
I think you saw that movie Shawshank Redemption, right?

321
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,560
Nope.

322
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,560
I have not seen any.

323
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,560
Are you kidding?

324
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Yeah, I always say I've never seen any movie ever because I've never seen any movies.

325
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Okay.

326
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,640
Well, for our listeners, I know that you have seen Shawshank Redemption.

327
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:23,100
And if you were thinking about the big poster on the wall with Raquel Welch, she was a really

328
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:27,120
popular pinup model back in the early 60s.

329
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,240
Corey, if you've never seen the movie, you wouldn't understand.

330
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,480
But they basically started chipping away at the concrete walls.

331
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,720
One of the main characters from that movie was honestly doing the same thing.

332
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,960
And every time a new poster of Raquel Welch came out, he would get it and pin it up on

333
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,960
his wall.

334
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,440
And the guards always said something about the pinup poster.

335
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Well, unbeknownst to them, he had been chipping away at the concrete wall for decades.

336
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,540
And this is probably what these guys were doing too, because I cannot see how they could

337
00:17:00,540 --> 00:17:05,700
not have been caught doing this unless it was tucked away, you know, maybe behind their

338
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:06,920
bed or something.

339
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,920
I don't know.

340
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,680
I couldn't really find any information on where they were chipping away at these things.

341
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,420
But I would assume the back wall where the close probably close to where the toilet is

342
00:17:17,420 --> 00:17:19,160
because they've got to have that toilet.

343
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,320
I would think they'd have to have it on the back wall with all the pipes and whatnot.

344
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,280
They're probably just chipping into where the whole plumbing system is and whatnot,

345
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,600
because it's going to be a bigger open area.

346
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,660
I don't know.

347
00:17:30,660 --> 00:17:36,400
They were actually diligent enough because there was some kind of access chute back behind

348
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,760
wherever they were chipping away at.

349
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:44,640
And over that period of time, they spent over a year doing this, Corey, they were able to

350
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,440
throw stuff through that chute.

351
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,680
I mean, as far as supplies, they were just able to throw whatever down their chute and

352
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,100
save it for later.

353
00:17:54,100 --> 00:18:00,240
They manufactured a periscope that allowed them to monitor the guards activities while

354
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,480
they were working.

355
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:07,580
So one of them is using the periscope to watch the guards while the other guys were working

356
00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:13,800
away in a secret workshop, which was behind the walls of their prison cells.

357
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,840
It was an area that nobody ever went to.

358
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,120
It was not monitored.

359
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:19,520
I don't even know.

360
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,120
But just a real quick question.

361
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:26,520
Does any of this give you the heebie-jeebies about what inmates are up to when you're there

362
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,520
and working?

363
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,520
Oh yeah.

364
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,080
They're always up to something.

365
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,400
When I was working in the jail, they're always up to something.

366
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,600
And I would always say they're not the smartest people, but my God, they are clever.

367
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:41,560
Because they got nothing to do but make things up and think and nothing but time.

368
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,520
And they're not thinking about, what's the word, reform?

369
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:45,520
No, no.

370
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,280
They're not thinking about what they did.

371
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,000
They're thinking about ways to get out of it.

372
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,200
All right, so here's a little comical part.

373
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,200
Or maybe not.

374
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,200
Who knows?

375
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Let me know.

376
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,160
How do you think these guys covered up the drilling noises and everything else that they

377
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,240
were doing when they had their little workshop back behind their cells?

378
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,240
What do you think they were doing?

379
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,240
I don't know.

380
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,840
They'd have to... I mean, that chipping is going to make noise.

381
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:17,400
I mean, I wouldn't expect them to be able to use a plastic spoon to chip away at a stone

382
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,400
wall.

383
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,320
Also, I mean, that metal spoon is going to be loud.

384
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,360
So maybe banging things up against bars.

385
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:25,360
Nope.

386
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,360
Close though.

387
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:27,720
Alan West had a talent.

388
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,760
He liked to play the accordion.

389
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,760
That's loud.

390
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,240
You let them have an accordion in prison?

391
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,240
Yes.

392
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,240
And here's why.

393
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:42,040
They did have a good reason for it, Corey, because every day for an hour, the guards

394
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,400
played the accordion over the intercom system to keep the prisoners calm.

395
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,000
Yeah, that makes sense.

396
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,760
Music makes a big difference for them.

397
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Yeah.

398
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,400
Alan West was in charge of that.

399
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,940
So the other three guys were just smart enough to time everything just right and all the

400
00:19:58,940 --> 00:20:00,760
noises that went with it.

401
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,640
But for any of you who don't know what an accordion is, I mean, Corey, do you even know

402
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,640
what it is?

403
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,640
Yeah.

404
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,640
You just pull it apart, put it together.

405
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:08,640
It's that... Yeah.

406
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,640
Yeah.

407
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,760
Just tap it on your front.

408
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,960
You pull and push and the air goes through and then you play a little piano keyboard on

409
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,920
the side and you play the polka.

410
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,200
That's what you do.

411
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,200
Yeah.

412
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,960
It looks like what Wile E. Coyote turns into after he gets hit by a giant stone.

413
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,960
Yes.

414
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,800
All right.

415
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,480
Since music hour was during waking hours, Corey, how do you think Frank Morris and the

416
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,440
Anglin brothers got away with working in that corridor?

417
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,640
So I asked you, how do you think they got away with the sounds?

418
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,840
Now I'm going to ask, how do you think they got away with working in the corridors behind

419
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,840
their jail cells?

420
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,840
I don't know.

421
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,840
I have no idea.

422
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:51,840
Okay.

423
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:57,680
So they skillfully created heads from cotton sheets, plaster, soap, flesh tone paint, and

424
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,080
real human hair that made the decoys as real as possible.

425
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520
So they made almost like paper mache heads.

426
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,520
How about that?

427
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:06,920
Like I said, nothing but time.

428
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,000
No, they didn't.

429
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,640
And so what they would do is they would put those heads on their pillows and they would

430
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,160
make it look like they were taking a nap because again, this was during waking hours and it

431
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,120
looked like they were taking a nap.

432
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:23,680
And at that time they would sneak out into their secret workshop to continue their plan

433
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,480
without ever being revealed.

434
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,640
Now remember Corey, this went on for over a year.

435
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,800
What are your thoughts on that?

436
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,040
Like what are the prison guards doing?

437
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,520
They're being complacent for sure.

438
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,000
I assume they have to do checks.

439
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,960
We had to do checks every hour, relatively on the hour, but we'd still keep it somewhat

440
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,240
random so they wouldn't expect us just to make sure they're not doing anything they're

441
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,280
not supposed to be doing, but that's just complacency.

442
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,360
Yeah, that makes sense.

443
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:46,960
Or they could have been paid off.

444
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,280
Yeah, that's true too.

445
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,760
There's corruption within the jail and prison system for sure.

446
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,760
All right.

447
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,080
I'm going to talk about the night of the escape.

448
00:21:54,080 --> 00:22:01,040
On June 11th, 1962, Frank, John, and Clarence made their way down that corridor behind their

449
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,040
cells.

450
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:07,520
They collected their things, climbed up into the tight air vents, made their way up to

451
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:14,000
the roof and slipped across a 100 foot section without being detected by the guards in the

452
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
watchtowers.

453
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,480
That is astounding.

454
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,640
Yeah, it's a lot.

455
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,640
It's ballsy.

456
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,920
They then shimmy down a 50 foot smokestack.

457
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:28,460
They climbed a 12 foot barbed wire fence, went to the northeast section of the prison

458
00:22:28,460 --> 00:22:32,280
and launched a makeshift raft into the San Francisco Bay.

459
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,480
How'd they make a raft?

460
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,700
Oh, well, I mean, I'll tell you now, but I'll probably go into this in a couple of minutes.

461
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:40,120
They actually made it, Cory, out of raincoats.

462
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:41,120
Oh wow.

463
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:43,640
Yeah, that were donated by other prisoners.

464
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:49,720
Yeah, I don't, I have no idea how they could have gotten through all of those checkpoints

465
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,240
without getting caught, especially with when they come up to that 12 foot fence with barbed

466
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,240
wire.

467
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,000
Cause that had to have taken a little bit of time to get through.

468
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Yeah.

469
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,040
But really with those, you just have to throw like a rug over barbed wire is pretty easy

470
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,040
to defeat.

471
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,040
Is it?

472
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,040
Yeah.

473
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:11,360
Well, the day of the discovery on June 12th, 1962, something that Elcatraz was known for

474
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:17,520
was that its prison staff would conduct body counts on its inmates several times a day,

475
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,680
kind of like what you just said, Cory, but they wouldn't do it on the hour every hour.

476
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,280
They just did it several times a day every day.

477
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:31,720
However, on June 12th, 1962, three beds were missing Frank Morris, John Anglin and Clarence

478
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:32,720
Anglin.

479
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,280
Now remember these guys had placed those plastic heads on their pillows and it looked like

480
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,540
they were sleeping.

481
00:23:38,540 --> 00:23:45,140
These heads were so well designed that the three men made their escape hours before even

482
00:23:45,140 --> 00:23:46,140
being discovered.

483
00:23:46,140 --> 00:23:48,560
So they had a really big head start.

484
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,560
Yeah.

485
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,560
A long time.

486
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,240
And the guard making his rounds likely took notice, I can't say for sure because I really

487
00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,140
don't have a lot of information on what time of day it was that they discovered the three

488
00:24:00,140 --> 00:24:01,140
guys missing.

489
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:07,480
But what he had done is that he reached through the bars to nudge Frank Morris.

490
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,920
Imagine his surprise, Cory, when the head rolled to the floor.

491
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,480
This would be one of those, what would you do moments?

492
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,480
Yeah.

493
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,480
I don't know what I'd do.

494
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,400
I know I'm in deep trouble for allowing that to happen.

495
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:26,840
Obviously in a media, all points bulletin went out on Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers.

496
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:32,300
Family members were interviewed and boat operators in the San Francisco Bay were told to keep

497
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:36,080
an eye out for debris that may have been used in the men's escape.

498
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:41,720
So I had mentioned that they had made the lifeboat, made the raft out of raincoats.

499
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,760
They actually used 50 raincoats at that time.

500
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,120
They were all donated by other inmates.

501
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:54,360
A few things were quickly recovered, including a packet of letters sealed in waterproof packaging

502
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:57,160
and a set of makeshift paddles.

503
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,280
So how about that?

504
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,760
They definitely had their ducks in a row.

505
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,760
Yeah.

506
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,760
I just can't believe they were able to carry all that.

507
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,060
I wonder if they just had it all waiting for them.

508
00:25:04,060 --> 00:25:07,920
So they probably made that trick a couple of times to get that wrapped out there because

509
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,480
I couldn't imagine them maneuvering like that with all that.

510
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,480
Wow.

511
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,040
That's a good thought process there.

512
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,400
I never thought of that.

513
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,480
How do you think they learned how to make a raft out of raincoats?

514
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,480
Do you think?

515
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,480
Any guesses?

516
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,480
Yeah.

517
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,480
They probably flooded their cell.

518
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,560
If I had to guess, they probably flooded their cell because inmates would do that all the

519
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,680
time in the jail and they just see what would float.

520
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,680
Seriously?

521
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,680
Yeah.

522
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,680
Oh my gosh.

523
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,680
I had no ideas of the, you've never told me these stories before.

524
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,680
Oh my gosh.

525
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:35,680
What will they think of next?

526
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,680
Was I close?

527
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,160
No, actually, Corey, they learned from reading magazines that they were given.

528
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Ah, that'll do it.

529
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,760
Yeah.

530
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:48,160
They were given instructions on how to make rafts out of raincoats in magazines, which

531
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,520
is pretty resourceful.

532
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,520
Okay.

533
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,120
I just, I can't imagine their mindset, Corey.

534
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:57,900
They're working on all this for a whole year and you know they had to have been just gleefully

535
00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:03,360
putting this whole plan together because nobody's none the wiser here and they just keep going

536
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,160
night after night.

537
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,800
Everything is in motion and I mean for over a year.

538
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:09,800
Can you imagine?

539
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,800
Yeah.

540
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,480
And not only did I have to keep it from the guards, but they're going to have to keep

541
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,680
it from inmates too because there's going to be snitches in there and people talk so

542
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,920
it will eventually get around.

543
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,160
So they're keeping that away from everybody.

544
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:26,900
Yes, except for Alan West because eventually the FBI was called in and he spilled a lot

545
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:34,720
of tea because according to FBI.gov, the men had found old saw blades around the prison

546
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,880
because that's useful, of course, right?

547
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,560
And it kind of inspired them.

548
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,600
Hey, you know what?

549
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,260
We got some old equipment kind of laying around.

550
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:44,780
We should try to escape.

551
00:26:44,780 --> 00:26:49,480
They took the motor of a vacuum cleaner to make a drill that helped them loosen the air

552
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,600
vents in their cells where they could hide things until they were ready to shoot it down

553
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:55,600
that shoot.

554
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,940
After the discovery, Alcatraz went obviously on an immediate lockdown, although police

555
00:27:01,940 --> 00:27:07,720
believe the men gained at least a 10 hour lead before their escape was detected.

556
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:13,400
They were able to make their way through those vents to access unguarded hallways and corridors

557
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,600
behind the cells that I had mentioned.

558
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,840
All this was told to the FBI from Alan West.

559
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,780
Corey, I mentioned the three men were discovered missing the next morning.

560
00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:28,600
So of course, a manhunt ensued rather quickly.

561
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:35,680
Alcatraz officials began an immediate investigation calling in the FBI and in 1963, officials

562
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:41,680
made the decision to shut down Alcatraz due to the high costs of operating this maximum

563
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,960
security prison.

564
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:50,560
Now it's part of the US national parks that you can visit on Alcatraz in self guided tours,

565
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,560
sort of like the forts that you go around to in the country.

566
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,640
I don't know if you've ever been fort hopping, Corey.

567
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,120
I've done it a couple of times.

568
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:58,120
I've not done that.

569
00:27:58,120 --> 00:27:59,120
I don't think I'd visit that place.

570
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:00,560
That place seems really haunted.

571
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,560
Agreed.

572
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:02,560
I don't.

573
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,560
Yeah, I'm good on that.

574
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,840
Yeah, I don't think so either.

575
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,680
I mean, you have to take a ferry to get there.

576
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,400
So imagine you've got this big rock where you've got a maximum security prison and back

577
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,240
in the day, you'd probably have to get on a ferry to go to work every day and then get

578
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,940
on the ferry to come home.

579
00:28:19,940 --> 00:28:23,000
So it's not just, you know, walking in and clocking in.

580
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,040
It's a, it takes a minute to get out there.

581
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,040
It's a commute.

582
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,040
Yeah.

583
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,800
There are a couple of theories as to what happened to Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers

584
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:38,840
to this day, no one has ever seen these three men and no one is even sure that that any

585
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:44,440
of them ever made it out of the bay due to those strong currents and cold temperatures.

586
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:50,520
All I can envision is the original movie where these guys finally left the island and at

587
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,880
the very end of the movie, they're all laughing and paddling off, but that's the last of the

588
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,240
movie is a mystery.

589
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,860
Did they make it to shore or not?

590
00:28:57,860 --> 00:29:01,120
No one ever reported any property theft.

591
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:06,520
I mean, rather quickly within, I would say a very short period of time, there was an

592
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,440
incident where a car was stolen, but I mean, or everyday incidents, you're going to get

593
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,200
some kind of criminal activity in the area.

594
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,880
So it's unlikely that any of them would have tried to get a getaway car or fresh clothing,

595
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,120
anything like that.

596
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:27,640
However, the makeshift paddles washed up on shore on June 14th, along with some of the

597
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,520
Anglin's possessions, like a wallet.

598
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,680
So you know, big question, did they or didn't they make it?

599
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:40,320
The raft made from those raincoats washed ashore six days later near the Golden Gate

600
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:47,520
Bridge nearby Angel Island, along with a plastic bag containing pictures and addresses of Frank,

601
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,160
John and Clarence's family members.

602
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,760
They had a direction that they were going to go.

603
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:59,480
Obviously those family members were interviewed, but they seemed just as surprised about the

604
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,160
jailbreak as everybody else was.

605
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,720
How far did they have to paddle?

606
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:09,240
I've been to San Francisco before, and I know you can go to Fisherman's Wharf and look at

607
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,240
it.

608
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,880
If you want a closer look, you can use binoculars, but it's really not that far.

609
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,760
I'm really bad with distance.

610
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,800
I would say at least a football field.

611
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,520
I didn't look those measurements up, but that's a great question.

612
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,760
But I would say at least a football.

613
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:21,760
Oh yeah, I'm looking at it.

614
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,240
I mean, if you're swimming, it'd be tough.

615
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,560
It's a couple miles, but you can do that on a raft.

616
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,240
Is it a couple miles out there?

617
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,240
Really?

618
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,240
Maybe to scale.

619
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,000
Maybe a mile and a half.

620
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
What month was it?

621
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,640
Well, they started planning in December, but they worked over a year, maybe almost 18 months.

622
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,320
So the escape date was June 12th, 1962.

623
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,320
Okay.

624
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,800
I'm sure they wouldn't want to try to... If they planned it that intently, I can imagine

625
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,320
them wanting to make that escape when it's freezing cold outside.

626
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,680
No, I don't care where you live.

627
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,120
Even in Georgia, it gets cold in the winter, Tom.

628
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:02,840
All right, in 1975, there are a lot of accounts given by family members from both the Morris

629
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,840
and the Anglin families.

630
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,720
Some believe that the Morris and Anglin brothers successfully escaped and lived out their lives

631
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:10,960
in Brazil.

632
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,360
And apparently, Corey, there's a picture out there that was taken in 1975 by a childhood

633
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:22,620
friend that the Anglin brother family confirmed, but the FBI did not.

634
00:31:22,620 --> 00:31:28,240
One of Frank Morris's cousins came forward to say that Frank had asked him to bribe the

635
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,060
prison guards on Alcatraz.

636
00:31:30,060 --> 00:31:31,060
So there you go.

637
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:33,180
Maybe it's a possibility.

638
00:31:33,180 --> 00:31:37,600
And he met Frank in a nearby park several days after the escape.

639
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,080
And this is all hearsay, so we just don't know.

640
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:46,280
A fifth inmate went on to say that his girlfriend had picked the men up and drove them to Mexico.

641
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:52,460
However, a local television network paid him for this interview where he had made the claim.

642
00:31:52,460 --> 00:31:55,840
So obviously, we're going to take that with a grain of salt, right?

643
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,000
When you get paid for an interview, you're not always going to tell the truth because

644
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,000
you know.

645
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,200
Yeah, you're going to say what they want you to say because they know what gets them ratings.

646
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,320
Absolutely.

647
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:10,920
One of the Anglin brothers' nephews is adamant that his uncles made a successful escape specifically

648
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:16,980
because his mother, which is John and Clarence's sister, would tell him tales about his uncle's

649
00:32:16,980 --> 00:32:18,680
escape from Alcatraz.

650
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,880
And that photo that I had mentioned, the one back in 1975, it was found in the England

651
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,800
Sisters photo album.

652
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:31,440
An expert who compared pictures of John and Clarence verified that although the picture

653
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:37,160
is grainy, because honestly, that was pretty common back in 1970s photos, the two men did

654
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:43,620
bear a strong resemblance of the brothers, but they could not be 100% sure it was them.

655
00:32:43,620 --> 00:32:45,360
Did they drown or didn't they?

656
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:51,640
The FBI officially declared all three men dead from drowning in 1979, which would have

657
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,680
been 17 years after their escape.

658
00:32:54,680 --> 00:33:01,080
According to New York Times, which published a story on this escape in 2002, it suggested

659
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:07,240
that it's entirely possible for a body to go missing and never resurface under the cold,

660
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,480
choppy and deep conditions of the San Francisco Bay.

661
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,920
We've talked about great white sharks feeding on seals.

662
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,720
You know how I feel about that.

663
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,600
But interestingly enough, Corey, there are also bottom dwellers like crabs and other

664
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,960
sea life that feed off bodies if they were drowned in that water.

665
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,560
And according to the articles that I read, they would punch holes in the body, which

666
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,560
would prevent gases from allowing the body to surface.

667
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:35,560
That's gross.

668
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,560
So there you go.

669
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:42,720
I mean, you know, I'm going one, just one step further than necessary, but you know,

670
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,720
it's all about the data.

671
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:44,720
Yeah.

672
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:51,020
So to this day, Frank, John and Clarence remain on the FBI's most wanted list, as well as

673
00:33:51,020 --> 00:33:53,360
an open case with the US Marshals.

674
00:33:53,360 --> 00:34:01,260
In 1989, one of John and Clarence's brothers stated that these England brothers had made

675
00:34:01,260 --> 00:34:05,520
an appearance at their father's funeral, but left shortly thereafter.

676
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,980
Frank Morris was born on September 1st, 1926.

677
00:34:09,980 --> 00:34:17,040
So today, Corey, he would probably be somewhere around 97 years old if he was still alive.

678
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:22,760
And today they would not be able to do a facial recognition from that photo that was taken

679
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,540
back in 1975.

680
00:34:24,540 --> 00:34:28,760
Because if you were to see it, you could see that the two men were wearing sunglasses and

681
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:34,280
apparently you need pupils exposed to get a solid match, which I did not know.

682
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,280
I thought that was pretty cool.

683
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,280
I didn't either.

684
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,800
But it works with the depths of your face, so it looks at where your eyes sink in and

685
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,160
whatnot, where your cheekbones protrude and all that.

686
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:49,280
But yeah, I can definitely see them grow their facial hair out, sunglasses.

687
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,720
It's going to make it real tough.

688
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:51,720
Okay.

689
00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:54,700
Well, that was one other thing they said too, is there was a lot of facial hair, obviously

690
00:34:54,700 --> 00:34:55,920
back in the seventies.

691
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,940
We know the styles are much different when these guys were on Alcatraz.

692
00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:03,040
It was the sixties and who did they look like at the time?

693
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,040
Elvis Presley, right?

694
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,760
With those slick back dudes, but in the seventies, you know everybody grew their hair out and

695
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,720
that was what was in the picture.

696
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:15,920
So that would definitely skew any ability to really see if that was really them or not.

697
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:16,920
Yeah.

698
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:17,920
And you can think about it like this.

699
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,720
If you get a new iPhone, you know how it has the facial recognition to open your phone?

700
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:22,720
Yes.

701
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:26,200
So initially if you have a hat and sunglasses on, it won't be able to pick you up.

702
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,560
It won't be able to recognize you.

703
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,480
But over time it'll learn, it'll learn those depths.

704
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,840
And eventually like now I can open my phone with hat and sunglasses on, but if I wear

705
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,400
certain sunglasses, then it doesn't register.

706
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,080
Interesting because I have been able to open my phone with my sunglasses on.

707
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,080
Huh.

708
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,580
So it's a learning machine.

709
00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:45,800
Over time it picks up on that.

710
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,800
Yeah.

711
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:47,800
Wow.

712
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,200
That's why they say you're not supposed to use facial recognition.

713
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,200
Yep.

714
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,200
Interesting.

715
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,240
I use it just because it's convenient and they're, you know, I'm already being tracked

716
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,240
anyway.

717
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:57,240
So, oh well, I'll just take the convenience.

718
00:35:57,240 --> 00:35:59,600
I used to be very against it, but now I'm just like, eh, whatever.

719
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:00,600
They know where I'm at anyways.

720
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:01,600
Exactly.

721
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,760
And I'm about 75% against it.

722
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,880
That's why I don't get on social media very much, but I mean, you know, the phone's another

723
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,880
story for sure.

724
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:09,880
All right.

725
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:15,920
According to KTLA television based out of Los Angeles, California, someone claiming

726
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:21,200
to be John Anglin had sent a letter to authorities back in 2018.

727
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,840
And in this letter, he asked for medical assistance in return for a lighter sentence if he were

728
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,280
to turn himself in.

729
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,280
Huh.

730
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,440
And he made mention that both his brother, Clarence and Frank Morris were dead.

731
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,280
No follow-up letters were ever received as to this person's whereabouts.

732
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,280
And so obviously the mystery remains today.

733
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:47,160
However, because this letter resurfaced, Corey, the U.S. Marshall's office reopened the case

734
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,560
and published age progression photos of the three men.

735
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,400
I mean, I've seen the pictures to be honest, they all look alike.

736
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,400
They're what?

737
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,280
80s, 90s, bald, wrinkled.

738
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:03,240
To me, I couldn't really see very much of a resemblance, obviously, if it was this long

739
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:04,240
since what?

740
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:08,600
60 years since they escaped this kind of a needle in the haystack.

741
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,600
Yeah.

742
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,360
I don't know how good that technology is either because they'll do it with kids too.

743
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,160
Like if they're stolen as babies, you know, several years later, they'll say like, this

744
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,160
is what they might look like.

745
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,280
And if they're found, it's not a hundred percent because you can't really predict how they're

746
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,280
going to turn out.

747
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:28,320
They can't because there has been a couple of cases that I have done on our podcast and

748
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:34,600
the age progression was done and people were found later in life through DNA or what have

749
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,920
you didn't look anything like the age progression.

750
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:37,920
Yeah.

751
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,920
It's just very unpredictable.

752
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:44,600
Well, that is the story of Frank Morris and the England brothers and their escape from

753
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,600
Alcatraz.

754
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:46,600
You have any other thoughts?

755
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,600
No, that was fun.

756
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,960
It was a good one.

757
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,960
Thanks.

758
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:55,240
I would love to know what our listeners have to say on this storyline and how about some

759
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,080
feedback on Corey as a cohost.

760
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,080
I'd love that.

761
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,080
Yeah.

762
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,080
All right.

763
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,080
What do you think, Corey?

764
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,080
What's your thoughts?

765
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,080
Are you enjoying this so far?

766
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,080
Yeah, it's fun.

767
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,080
It's a good time.

768
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,080
You still doing those teachable moments thing.

769
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,080
I am doing those teachable moments.

770
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,080
Do you want to hear one?

771
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,080
Of course.

772
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,080
Okay.

773
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,400
Pay attention to your surroundings and I'm sure you can attest Corey that there are several

774
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:19,200
times when we get into our comfort zone with what's going on around us.

775
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,160
But do we really pay attention to it?

776
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,160
And I'll give you an example.

777
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:28,640
Corey, have you ever taken a drive that you've probably taken a zillion times before, but

778
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,400
to be honest with you, you don't even know how you got to a certain point.

779
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,400
Yeah.

780
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,680
If you're driving down the road that you've kind of blanked out, does that ever happen

781
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,680
to you?

782
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Yeah, you get so used to that drive that you can't even remember it happening sometimes.

783
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:41,960
Exactly.

784
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,640
And that is called driving hypnosis.

785
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,440
And a lot of that occurs honestly within, I'm told, two miles of your home because those

786
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,120
are the roads that you take every day.

787
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,120
And you're so used to it.

788
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:57,720
I mean, I've done that a zillion times, but the problem is, is that we get so used to

789
00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:02,360
our environment that we don't always pay attention to the little details around us.

790
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,880
And the problem is, is that we simply need to pay attention.

791
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,600
And the reasons I say this, Corey, is because Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers worked

792
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,320
for over a year to plan this escape.

793
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,320
No one was paying attention.

794
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,000
Yeah, they were complacent for sure.

795
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,840
I don't know if you've ever questioned anybody about anything that you've been called out

796
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:21,840
for.

797
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,080
Like, were they, did they have to give a description of what somebody was wearing, anything like

798
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,080
that?

799
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,960
How much detail were they able to provide?

800
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,400
Yeah, I've been, I've been taught that before.

801
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,400
You're not really focused on what they look like.

802
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,400
You're just kind of focusing on what's going on.

803
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,400
So then after they leave, you're like, ah crap, are they wearing pants or shorts?

804
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,840
Or are they wearing red shirt, black shirt?

805
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,560
It happens and everyone's guilty of it.

806
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,040
I'm a big proponent of being aware of your surroundings.

807
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,520
But there's been times where I'll be sitting and watching traffic and I just start playing

808
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,720
on my phone and then all of a sudden someone knocks on my door or my window of my car.

809
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:53,720
Oh my gosh.

810
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:54,720
And it makes you jump.

811
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:56,840
You're like, oh, well, clearly I wasn't paying attention.

812
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:01,120
It's always just some older person asking me how to get to a location where they already

813
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,120
have their GPS open.

814
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,120
It doesn't make any sense to me, but it is what it is.

815
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,120
I'm happy to help.

816
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,240
But definitely makes you think, like, I need to be more aware.

817
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:14,640
So get rid of your distractors and pay attention to your surroundings because you never know

818
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,640
when you're going to need to know those fine details.

819
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:18,640
And that's it, Corey.

820
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:19,640
That's my teachable moment.

821
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:20,640
Well, that was fun.

822
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,640
All right.

823
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,400
Well, Corey, until next time, we have this little rotation going.

824
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,520
So I've already got my next story for you.

825
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:29,520
I'm excited.

826
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,520
All right.

827
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:31,520
Sounds good.

828
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,520
All right.

829
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,800
Well, we will talk to everyone soon.

830
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:35,800
