About this listen

In Part 2 of Monkey in the Middle, Dobie Maxwell continues his firsthand account of being caught inside a bank robbery - this time focusing on what happened after the danger passed.

With Vince Carone guiding the conversation, Dobie reflects on the emotional fallout, the strange calm that followed the chaos, and the lingering impact of realizing how close things came to going very wrong. Together, they explore how adrenaline distorts time, how people process fear differently, and why moments like these stay with you long after the headlines fade.

This episode moves beyond the shock of the event and into the meaning behind it - examining how real danger reshapes perspective, memory, and gratitude.

Key Points Discussed:

  • The immediate aftermath of the bank robbery
  • How adrenaline and shock affect memory and awareness
  • Processing fear once the danger has passed
  • The strange mix of relief, humor, and reflection that followed
  • Why experiences like this quietly change how you see the world

This is a thoughtful, human conclusion to a gripping two-part story - proof that sometimes the most important moments happen after everything goes quiet.
