1:26Let's power it up and listen to rap indie 2000s. There were a lot of hustler trap songs being made normally about boiling Okeng or bricks from state to state. Well, there's another kind of hustle being done now when it evolves. Lego books, there have been several high value amounts of Legos being stolen. Now, one case is in California, where a 20-year-old drill Augustine,

2:34he would buy high-priced Legosets. Take them home, take the bricks, and the little mini figures out, and then put pasta, uncooked pasta, in the Lego box, and then take it back to the store for a refund. It is a pretty clever plan because uncooked pasta has the same weight, the same sound when it moves back and forth in the box. If you're working at the store, you're probably just trying to get the lines down. You're not noticing that you don't have a building set to sell. You've got a bunch of noodles that you can't do anything with.

3:35A lot of criminals, they are creatures of habit. This is about 50 tests. They were all at target locations. The target was target locations, and they were at places in Texas, Tennessee, New Jersey, and Florida. Irvine, California police eventually tracked them down to his apartment where they found the packs of Lego bricks and mini figures. Also in California, there was a truck that was stolen. The cargo had about what is estimated to be about a million dollars worth of Lego sets was exactly sure how many intact sets there were, but it just goes

4:43to show you how Lego was a pretty low to medium price, plaything, sometimes art project. Now the prices have gone through the roof and it makes it a valuable target for criminal minds. I do realize that at some locations, some stores, the Lego sets are behind locking key now, because people will just walk out the door with them. Now the truck with the million dollars worth of Legos was going from Texas Fort Worth area to California. With all of this back and forth state travel, it's just going to raise to a federal level. That's going to be crazy explaining to your fellow inmates. You got busted for taking Legos, but in any case,

5:52have you been keeping up with the Lego theft stories, and what was your favorite Legos set growing up? Do you collect the figures now? Do you collect the sets now? What's the best built Lego set you've ever seen? I think I saw replica of the Avengers tower. They got multiple sets and then made a 10 foot replica of the Avengers tower based off the moon. In any case, what is your favorite set? Hit me up on Twitter at sound803, which could always email me at more phenomenal at gmail.com. We're going to discuss.

6:52For the best in sports analysis, check out Carolina Confidential, speed this week, and throw up tackle on forecast sports.com right now. I'm going to give you my take on the sporting moon. Now, I did not think I'd be doing another golf segment. I believe this is a couple of weeks in a row, just between the Masters and Tiger Woods golf brash, but there seems to be another golf story in the mix right now. We'll live golf survive. There are loud rumblings that live golf. It was founded a couple of years back with the intent of rivaling the GGA, and there were a lot of controversy about the golfers who decided to

7:59leave the PGA tour and go to live. A lot of people did not like live golf from the onset because they are directly backed by Saudi Arabia. The government of Saudi Arabia, a lot of people believe, has human rights violations and they're using money to do what they call sports watching, using events such as the W.A. and mixed martial arts to sort of like distract people from the way the people are being seen. The public investment fund, that's the money that's coming from Saudi Arabia.

9:01They're considering not having live golf anymore because of the losses, and part of the losses is not having a major media deal for live golf as opposed to the other sports that are taking place over there. Now the word from everybody officially with live is that everything's fine and the events are going to continue to take place through the rest of this season. So everything that's already planned to be in play is going to continue. Now to be a little coy about what's going to happen in the future.

10:04Now the speculation that the restructuring as far as the sports are concerned has a lot to do with the oil money, which is up in the air because of the ongoing conflict with the United States and Iran. So who knows how long that's going to take place? There's a lot up in the air, not just the line drives from the golf ball. But in any case, do you follow the golf leagues, PGA, live golf? Do you have a favorite golfer who's active right now and do you feel that live will be a thing going forward? I'd like to hear what you guys have to say. Hit me up on Twitter at Sally,

11:07Adolf Reef, of course, can always email me at morephenomenal at gmail.com. We can discuss. Coming up next, more giant global radio right here on the forecast media podcast net. What's going on, fam? You're listening to giant robot radio right here on the forecast media podcast net. Okay. I saw a crazy video together. So apparently you got these influencer chicks. Over in England, they in conflict over something. And again, a lot of the details is murky and up in the air right now. But you got real UK and she's

12:13deep in with Claudia Glant. And real getting beat up, real hops in the vehicle. And she hits three people and Claudia Glant, she got the worst up. Allegedly, Reenil had some Snapchat posts saying about how angry she was and how when she catches someone, she's going to take them down on paraphrasing. But I can't imagine anything going on being that intense, that worth it. Did you go to run somebody over with your vehicle? Because

13:17Reel has three charges right now. He's got reckless driving, drum driving, and attempted murder. Now apparently Reel has been a thing for a little while. They say she was on the X factor. But I believe it's the British version because I believe there was a X factor over in America and then X factor over in England. It's just a lesson for us all. You can have all the beauty, all the fame, all the success in the world. But if you don't get control of those demons, they will take you under. Having too much anger, having too much ego, running on impulse and emotion. I think one of the people who got hurt wasn't even really in the conflict like that. Doesn't know

14:25any of them from a back of mercy. Reel had all of that beauty and notoriety. And now it's going to be all the going. And just going under all the photos on Instagram, apparently I'm already following a Reel on Instagram. It is just one giant roasted fish. This should be an interesting trial to follow. I'm not sure how the British trial system works. I'm not sure how their media coverage works as far as criminal trials, but I'm sure it's going to be compelling to see all that plays out when the legal process starts

15:37rolling. Yeah, but if you got a good gig light, just try out a world where fancy closed. You got a good gig. Don't blow it over something. But in any case, are you familiar with Reel? Are you familiar with Claudia Glam? Do you follow any of their content? Were you familiar with them before all of this took place? Were there any signs that there may have been a fracture, a conflict between them that could have gotten to this level? Hit me up on Twitter at soundwave 803, of course, but always email me at more phenomenal at gmail.com. We can discuss. Now, I could see a lot of clips of marathon. I believe the marathon season is

16:38starting to kick off. I remember the Boston marathon clips and results were being posted. And I remember right around this time because the Boston marathon bombing had happened 13 years ago. But another clip that came out was from the Delaware marathon. And you had a guy, Carson Mello, who was about to win the race. But just a couple of feet from the finish line. He puts his arms up. He's starting to pump his fist. He thinks he's about to win. And guess who comes behind him? The snatched victory. It's Joshua Jax.

17:49And there is a good lesson for us all in what happened here is you got to finish string. No matter how well you're doing, whatever you're working on can all fall apart. In the last few minutes, the last few seconds, because we didn't in the task with the same focus and discipline for when we started the task. The other lesson is not how you start is how you finish. Josh with Jackson could have gotten frustrated and down on himself. He's behind. There's no way I can

18:58catch up. The other racers are too far ahead of me. I'm not going to finish with a record. So why keep going? But because he kept up the speed and kept up the intensity of his actions, he was able to come out ahead by just a margin of two seconds. Just look at all of those New England Patriots Super Bowl games like they weren't blowouts. Quite a few of them were under 10 points. But because the Patriots kept up the intensity,

20:00they kept up the focus at the end of the season. The same way to win into the season, they were able to come away with several championships. Learn from Mr. Carson Mello. No matter how successful you are at something, there is somebody looking to surpass what you're doing. So keep a humble spirit about you. And I'm sure that is a lesson he is going to take into future marathon races. I like to think you all for listening. Check out new and classic episodes of throw up tackle
