Why did Luke have a fascination with robbing banks?

Matthew Cox 0:00
Dude, for some reason, I always had a fascination with robbing a bank. I just always thought to myself, it would be so easy to rob a bank. The moment I entered the facility and the door clicked behind me, like it was showtime. I kind of scanned the room and I said, well, I think it's pretty obvious what this is based on my attire. I would like you to take the money and put it out on the counter. And they all kind of looked at me and I went, move. And then they started doing their thing. This was kind of the turning point of my life where I started to actually have a moral compass and I started to actually care about people. I was born in central New York, very small town called Cato. There was like 82 kids in my graduating class and I was about a

Seven out of ten football players, so that made me kind of a small god in that township and captain of the football team and quarterback and just a very big case of big frog, small pond. What did your parents do for a living? Were they in? Car salesmen. Car salesmen? Where does the criminal come from? That's right. That's right.
Luke Lunkenheimer 0:55
I watched the thing where you talked about how you have a long lineage of car salesmen. Yeah, dude.
Matthew Cox 1:01
That was table talk at the kitchen table. The local vendors and the local bankers and everybody, that was like, these were the people that were the heroes of my life and the car dealers.

What events led Luke to develop a moral compass?

Matthew Cox 1:09
And when you go to the roots of my criminal story, my addiction, because that's the root of my criminal story is the addiction. It comes from a young man who just intrinsically burned. I had a desire to do something great and be something huge. I wanted to be a president or an astronaut or a freaking action hero law enforcement guy. I just wanted to do something great. I wanted to make a lot of noise and change the world. And I was constantly being told, you know, douse the fire, calm down, you know, know your role, so on and so forth. And I think that's what caused me to look for some sort of release or some sort of comfort or nurture that got my mind off of those things. And I found that eventually.
Matthew Cox 1:48
Right.
Luke Lunkenheimer 1:48
I was going to say, when does that take place or start? Like, is this in high school? Like, how are you introduced to even doing it?
Matthew Cox 1:54
bro like i would we would go to places and unless we were cracking a beer and and hiding it from the cops while we were driving it wasn't a sunday afternoon man i started drinking at like 11 or 12 at some point you realize it's not okay but as far as society and their view on it you know i just was just good at hiding it man i mean it was it was in in hindsight you know i say this to you and you think upon it and we iterate upon it and in hindsight it was like oh my god how did that ever happen You know, at the time, I was a 12-year-old kid drinking with my old man on a Sunday afternoon. It just was what it was. Went over to my buddy's house. His old man was cracking a beer for him, and we were playing football in the backyard.
Matthew Cox 2:33
Went over to our other buddy's house, got on the snowmobiles, rode and met our dads at the watering hole and played the little shuffleboard pucks and drank booze. And the bartender, you know, make sure you boys get home safe. Turn your hand warmers on. You know, you get drunk and forget. You'll go home with cold hands. It was just the culture of the town I grew up in, man. 00,00,00 Jesus. So, I mean, did you have any brothers and sisters? 00,00,00 One sister. It was kind of the same thing. She didn't, I don't want to say have it as bad as I did. Maybe she had it not as good as I did. Who knows? Maybe she wanted to get drunk at 12 and didn't get a chance to. I don't know. Um, she, she left, I was, we were three years separated.
Matthew Cox 3:08
So she left, went off to college and now I was 15 at this time. It didn't have my big sister and now I'm home and you know, mom and dad are splitting up at this point and things are really getting kind of shaky. And then I started that. That's really, you know, I, I look back on it and the more times I tell the story, the more things become clear, especially when you're sober and lucid.
