- Literally. - Let's talk about that.
♪ (theme music) ♪
- Good Mythical Morning. - Thank you for making us a part of...
- ...your daily routine. - Now, in most states in the United...
...States of America, you gotta be 16 years old to drive a car.
- True. - But there are some childrens...
...who do not want to wait that long to get behind the wheel.
Unh-uh. They got that need for speed. The need for adventure. The need for
journey under four wheels in motion. So buckle up, people. Today, we are...
- ...going to share some stories. - Under four wheels in motion?
I don't think they're under the car. I think they're driving the car.
- I didn't say under. I never said that. - You didn't. You didn't say that.
I never thought it. (stammering) I think things and I say 'em all the
time. It matters what I think, and what I think is stories about kids driving...
...cars that they stole. Let's get into it.
Let's get started with Latarian Milton. 2008, he was seven years old.
- And he stole his grandma's Dodge Durango! - Okay.
- That's a good-looking car. (laughing) - It's a truck.
- And, uh, truck. And went on a joyride. - (Link and crew offscreen laughing)
In the process, Latarian knocked over two mailboxes, hit two parked cars...
- Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! - ...two moving cars. Two, two, two!
He does everything in pairs. And then he nearly broke off one of the axles and...
- ...the wheels. And the local news... - Wow!
...affiliate reported on this, interviewed Latarian...
- I think I've seen this. - ...and his grandmother.
And, as you can imagine, it went viral, with over 11,000,000 views.
- Oh, yeah. - We have a part of that video that...
...we're gonna watch right now. This is Latarian, speaking for himself about...
- ...what he did. - I took my grandma's car because...
...I got mad at my mom. And then I had my friend come in, and he smoked...
- ...with cigarettes. - (Rhett) With cigarettes.
I looked on the counter. My keys were gone.
- (Link) That's the mom. - I yanked the... I yanked...
- I yanked the, um, thing. - (Rhett) That's how you start a car...
- ...Link. You yank the thing. - He's driving fast, too!
- (laughing) - Driving through a parking lot.
It's fun to do bad things. You drive into a car.
- (Rhett) Yep. - (interviewer) Did you know that...
- ...you could perhaps kill somebody? - Yes, but I wanted to do to do...
- ...hoodrat stuff with my friend. - Oh, well that makes it okay!
- Hoodrat stuff... - That's justified!
Hoodrat stuff is pretty violent. Look at that car. Good gracious!
- ...his behind right now. - (interviewer) You don't think you...
...should be punished for all this? - Just a little bit. No video games...
- ...for a whole weekend. - (laughing) I love the fact...
- "Just a little bit." - ...that he just gives himself the...
...punishment. He's like, "I got this figured out. I did it because it was...
...fun. And, you know what? No video games for a whole weekend!"
But the thing that I learned from this is me and you should be doing more...
...hoodrat stuff together. - We should. We should.
- You know, we're friends. - In somebody else's Durango...
- ...maybe. - You've got a grandma, right? What...
- ...does she drive? - Uh, she drives, like, and Grand...
- ...Marquis. - Oh, let's go steal that sucker.
- Yeah, hoodrat in the Grand Marquis. - Joyride. I mean, the only thing that...
...could happen is you can get charged with grand theft auto Latarian did.
But he didn't get prosecuted. 'Cause he was only seven. Now he's a teenager and
he has been quoted as saying, "Doing wrong is bad, but doing good, I can...
- ...be successful." - Okay, good.
That's right, Latarian. Doing wrong is bad. Doing good is good.
I'm glad he reformed himself. Now, in Norway the lead driving age is 18...
- ...not 10. So I'm gonna lead with that. -Mm.
- Okay. - But a Norwegian boy who shall remain...
...nameless, in 2014, really wanted to visit his grandparents.
- Oh, yeah. - So he drove himself. And his...
...grandparents lived 37 miles away, but but did not deter him.
- Can't walk there. - While his parents were asleep...
...he swiped up the car keys and he starts driving off. But first he got his sister...
- ...to ride with him... - Oh.
- ...who was 18 months old. - (laughing) Gosh!
Yeah! I mean, if I'ma see grandma and peepaw, you gotta come too.
- They're gonna wanna see you, Li'l Sis! - She's gonna be mad!
He made it seven miles before veering off the road into a snowbank.
- That's amazing. - A snow plow driver comes upon the...
...car and goes up to the car and sees him in the driver's seat. And this is what he
said. He said he was a dwarf and he had forgotten his license.
That's what he told the guy. Best excuse ever!
- He needs a medal. - "I'm a dwarf, but I don't have my...
- ...license, so I can't prove it." - This kid's gonna e the president of...
- The police talked to the parents... - ...Norway.
...who were quoted as saying, "I'm pretty sure they're gonna pay very close...
...attention to both of their children and their car keys in the future."
But the police didn't tell that to the boy's aunt, because one week later,
he took his aunt's car for a 25-mile joyride.
- This little dwarf is amazing. - (laughing)
Yeah, the cops said there were no injuries, no damages, no charges filed.
- Uh, maybe he is a dwarf. - Good on you. Now, when we do our...
...hoodrat stuff, we're not gonna be able to do the dwarf excuse.
- I can't get away with that. - No, you can't.
Okay, in 2009, Northumberland, Virginia, there's a 6-year-old-boy who missed his
school bus. So he what did any normal kid would do and he drove himself to school.
- Dedicated young man! - Dad was already at work.
Mom was still asleep. So he takes the keys to the Ford Taurus.
- Mhm. - Another car: I really like the way...
...that thing looks. It's very bulbous. It was very bulbous.
- Well, it look like a bull. - It was the first bulbous car when it...
- ...went bulbous in, like, '94? - With horns on the front?
He drove 10 miles towards his school. He was weaving in and out of oncoming...
traffic, so that attracted the attention of the police. One officer, who was
first on the scene, who kind of drove along side him, said, "The boy was not
tall, and he was possibly standing while driving."
- (laughing) - Something else I would love to do...
- Put the seat all the way back. - ...and will never have the opportunity...
- ...to do. - It's like a delivery truck driver.
- Maybe in a convertible I could do that. - (laughing) Okay.
So anyway, eventually he swerves out of control, runs into an embankment,
hits a pole. The Taurus is nearly totaled. The police approach the boy to see
if he's okay. He's walking away and they're like, "Where are you going?"
He says, "My school's right over there. I'm late."
- (laughing) Good for him, man. - And, good news is, he did make it...
...to school. Bad news: his parents were arrested and charged with felony...
- child endangerment. What?! - Ooh!
Why you gotta blame the parents for this? It was all on the kid!
Well, I don't know. I'm gonna stay out of that one. But I'm gonna go
- to Utah. Preston Scarborough... - Go, Link. Go there.
...was seven years old, which is not the driving age in Utah, if I understand.
One Sunday morning in 2009, Preston decides he don't wanna go to church.
- Okay. All right. - And he said, "Well, if my family...
- ...doesn't have a car... - They can't go.
..and I'm in the cat that they don't have, then I don't have to go to church."
Brilliant plan. So he stole his parents' Dodge Intrepid. Your parents had...
- ...one of those. Did you ever sell it? - Oh, man, another.
Yes, I drove that my senior year in high school.
- Uh, yeah, it was... - I looked good in that thing.
Uh, dispatchers received reports... - Intrepid: never knew what that meant.
...of reckless driving. One witness said that a driver drove through a stop sign.
I don't think that means plowed through it, but could be, 'cause he's seven.
- Ran the stop sign. - Two deputies caught up and were...
...chasing after the car. They didn't know who's in the car.
- Right. Could be anybody. - The car chase went up to 40...
- ...miles-per-hour before the car... - Oh, brother.
...finally came to a stop. In the kid's own driveway.
- (laughing) Oh, he's like, "Okay." - There's video of dash cam footage...
...from the cops, so let's watch that. So here it is. I mean, they're going
down the street. He's in his lane! And look, he's in his driveway.
- He's doing well! - Imagine the cop seeing this.
He's like, "Oh, I'm out of here." (laughing)
And then the cop's like, "What is happening? Let me trot after this kid."
Because they had no idea. They had no idea that that it was a kid that was
gonna jump out there. Hold on. When is the parent going to get
out? Oh, there is no parent. That's him. That's Preston.
He ran inside, said, "Dad! The cops are outside!" and then he ran and hid
in the basement. Police were impressed with his driving skills. No citations...
- ...were issued. - I'm impressed with his driving skills.
I don't encourage it, but I'm impressed. Okay, 2015. Cory Mathias.
- Okay. Mhm. - 27 years old. So he's not the one...
...who drove in this situation. Because he's 27. But he had just cooked
himself chicken dinner. But he didn't have any barbecue sauce.
- Ooh! - Nobody wants dry chicken!
- And he was also drunk. - Oh!
- (crew offscreen laughing) - So, you know, he got his neighbor to...
drive him to the local Pit Stop gas station.
- Okay. - Well, the problem is his neighbor was...
- nine years old. - (everyone on and offscreen laughing)
"Hey, man. I need some barbecue sauce." When you need barbecue sauce, you need it.
He successfully drives him to the Pit Stop, but ding-ding! The Pit Stop doesn't have
barbecue sauce! But it does have employees that had noticed that he had a
- nine-year-old drive him to the Pit Stop. - (laughing)
So they warned him and said, "You better not let him drive back home."
So he outsmarted these Pit Stop employees and he drove that car
home himself. Drunk, of course. So the Pit Stop employees call the
cops anyway. The cops end up at Cory's door. It turns out his blood alcohol
content was three times the legal limit. he was charged with child endangerment,
operating a vehicle while intoxicated, refusing a chemical breath test,
driving under suspension, and cooking barbecue chicken without barbecue sauce.
- (laughing) - Nobody wants that!
Okay, he should've said it's a dwarf driving and he doesn't have his license.
- Right. He would've gotten away with it. - Thanks for liking, commenting,
- subscribing, and sharing this video! - You know what time it is!
- Hi, I'm Lucas from Germany. - And I'm Graham from Oxford, Mississippi.
- We're in Verona, Italy. - (everyone) And it's time to spin...
- ...The Wheel of Mythicality! Woo! - If you're under the legal age for...
...driving, we don't recommend driving. But if you choose to, you should wear...
- ...a Mythical Hat! - Shazam!

We are going to be playing Trials Fusion. I was gonna say Trials by Fusion.
- Which is not it. - "Link is undecided on what...
- ...to order." - Hm!
Hey, have you made a decision yet? 'Cause we've got some blue-plate specials.
I haven't looked at the menu yet, but I'm looking. Do you have a recommendation?
- Well, salmon is perfect. - Uuuuuhhhh...
- I make it myself. - Where's the salmon...
- And I don't do anything to it. - Where's the salmon caught?
I don't do anything to the salmon before I give it to you.
- Do you have burger? Tenders? - I have a salmon burger.
- Do you have fries? - Salmon fries.
Do you have, uh... Do you have, uh...
- Salmon. We have salmon. - Do you have dip?
- We have salmon dip. - Do you have dip?
- Yeah. - Yeah, I'll take the dip.
- It's salmon. - Uh, with tenders.
- (exhales) Have you made a decision? - (crew offscreen laughing)
