There Had to Be a Better Plan: Bank Robbing for $20 and Other Bad Decisions

April 8, 2026·15 min·1 clip
A man robbed six New York Chase banks in five days, but one only gave him $20 to leave.
The episode opens with Bama Brown promoting his live show, Sports Cave Live, and sharing personal sports memories, including seeing the first Braves and Falcons games in Atlanta. He transitions into discussing bad decisions, starting with a DUI case involving an electric unicycle in Kitsap County, Washington. Brown then recounts observing reckless scooter use in downtown Austin, criticizing a producer who owned only a mini bicycle. The main segment focuses on Gustavo Torres, who robbed six Chase banks in New York over five days, netting as little as $20 from one branch. Brown humorously critiques the robber's lack of planning and menacing presence. He shifts to a lighter note with a message in a bottle story from Canada to Scotland, then discusses a man mistaken for Jeffrey Epstein due to their resemblance and shared party attendance. The episode concludes with Ivan, a 51-year-old in Miami, who threw 48 bottles off his 41st-floor balcony while drunk, injuring someone and facing felony charges. Throughout, Brown interjects with personal reflections, such as his childhood in Birmingham and Georgia Bulldogs fandom, maintaining a conversational and humorous tone.
