Full Episode
It's 4 a.m. and this young dude, he's on the roof of this luxury car dealership. And he ties off a rope and he opens the hatch to the roof. And then he rappels down into the showroom, Mission Impossible style. And there he looks around at all the luxury cars until he finally sees the one he wants. A banana yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. And he breaks into it by getting the locks open.
And then he disables the alarm on the building. And then he drives the Lambo out of the dealership, speeding away in his brand new car. Now this Lamborghini he stole isn't just a Lamborghini. It happens to belong to celebrity chef and restaurant owner Guy Fieri, who had just taken it to that dealership to get it serviced. Now the dude who stole it, his name is Max.
And Max is 16, he's a high school dropout, but he's kind of a sharp guy. He had learned how to repel and disable alarms by watching YouTube tutorials. So he steals Guy Fieri's Lambo. And he can cruise around the city in it sometimes, but he doesn't really want to get caught. So the car, most of the time, sits parked in a storage unit he rented.
Meanwhile, Guy Fieri, he keeps getting phone calls from his friends. Like, hey bro, I saw you driving around town today in your Lambo. Of course, it isn't him driving. It's actually Max. Now, stealing cars isn't the only illegal thing Max does. He actually makes money with a side business selling fake IDs to high school students. And this business is where things start getting crazy for him.
Because one day he sells a fake ID to this girl, Eva. Now Max, he likes Eva. He thinks she is foine and he really wants to impress her. And yeah, he's got this cool banana yellow Lambo. What more does he need? Sometimes he'll even pull up to meet up with her in this Lambo. Like he's trying to flex. But unfortunately, Eva isn't really interested in Max.
She only talks to him because she wants to buy another fake ID from him. So Eva and Max, they start texting back and forth often enough. And she's always asking him about this fake ID he's going to sell her. But Max, he's decided he wants more. And so he makes his move. And he asks her, So what are you doing on Valentine's Day? And that is when Eva drops a bomb on him.
She's like, I'mma be with my boyfriend. Now this absolutely crushes Max. He is devastated. He doesn't like the fact that she has a boyfriend one bit. And he gets pissed off and he's like sitting in his room just thinking about it, marinating. Now Eva's boyfriend is this guy, Landon. And Max, he finds Landon on Facebook and he starts talking trash to him and he threatens to fight him.
And of course, none of this wins Eva over. So then Max, he comes up with a plan. He's gonna unalive Landon so that Eva will have to love him. Yeah, I'm not really sure that's gonna work out all that well. So two months later, after Eva had rejected Max's Valentine's Day text, Max sets his plan into motion.
He goes to a motorcycle shop and he buys a black motorcycle helmet and all black motorcycle gear so that no one will recognize him. The next day, he puts on the gear and he gets a pew-pew and he gets on his motorcycle. Then he rides over to Landon's house. Now at Landon's house, he just happens to be sitting outside in his truck.
