This episode is sponsored in part by Vital Proteins. You've probably heard of Vital Proteins. They're the number one brand of collagen peptides in the U.S. And for good reason. A lot of people, myself included, take it pretty much daily to support things like healthy hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, all the good stuff. That starts to matter more the longer you've been walking around on this planet. But now, Vital Proteins is shaking things up. Literally, you can tell a dad wrote this copy. With a brand new collagen and protein shake... And this isn't your average protein shake that tastes like chalk and sadness. This one's light, chocolatey, super smooth, and it's got something pretty unique going for it.
High-quality protein, 30 grams of it, plus collagen. That's pretty good ROI. Usually, you're choosing one or the other, but Vital Proteins gives you both a ready-to-drink shake you can toss in your bag or fridge, zero added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no carrageenan. And I don't know what that is or if that's even how you say it, but... supposed to avoid that. If you're already taking collagen or you're just curious about how it might support your hair, skin, nails, joints, and you don't want any carrageenan, this is a super easy, tasty way to try it.

Coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show. The choreography of a beating, right? I don't know the time, but I'm nursing a couple fractures of rib in our elbow. I'm beat up real good. Put my brother in the bathroom, I lock him in, I go to the kitchen, and I pull out a steak knife. And I walk over to the bedroom. I put it under the pillow and I just sit there and I wait. My dad comes in. He looks at me over there, you know, glares at me. So I'm thinking like, what am I, what's he going to use to hit me? I'm through. This is like a new level of improvised savagery, right? So I'm like, okay, screw it. And I grabbed the knife out and I stand up and now I'm standing there with a steak knife in my hand.

Today on the show, how does someone even get the idea to rob a bank? Not the Ocean's Eleven version, no team, no gadgets, no vault lasers, just you, a piece of paper, and the decision to walk up to a stranger and tell them to hand over a pile of cash. The 80s and 90s were probably the golden age of bank robbery. No cell phone pings, no facial recognition, maybe one blurry VHS tape that looked like some Bigfoot footage, and then you're gone. You don't run, you don't speed away, you just walk out. Today we're talking with Joe Loya, a guy who robbed dozens of banks calmly, methodically, often wearing a fedora like he was heading to brunch or maybe a game of Dungeons and Dragons instead of committing a felony.
