Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

Here, "thing" means "situation". He calls it a "pyramid thing" rather than a "pyramid situation" to show disrespect towards the situation (because he is jealous that another "villain" did the biggest crime of the century, which was stealing "the pyramids" in Egypt).
