It's time for the, this week is dumb podcast.
Voice Over:A chance for you to disconnect from reality for a bit and hear about some of
Voice Over:the dumb things that we found this week.
Voice Over:Now, here are your hosts, Garrett and Yury.
Garrett:Hi, everybody.
Garrett:Welcome to this episode.
Garrett:Number 11 of this week is dumb.
Garrett:Thanks for coming back for another week and joining us.
Garrett:Uh, hopefully you're listening to this on Monday because that's when we
Garrett:release our episodes and well, That's when we're funniest, because you know,
Garrett:as the week goes on, it's not as funny.
Garrett:Yeah.
Garrett:Right.
Garrett:Yury.
Yury:What is up Dumberellas?
Garrett:Is that this week's word Dumberellas?
Yury:You know, it's not easy actually coming up with a
Yury:word every week, you know?
Garrett:I had a great idea about that though.
Garrett:Both times we've had somebody come in and play, fill in the dumb with us.
Garrett:They both had suggestions as to what the name of our listeners should be, right?
Yury:Well, Harry had dumdums.
Yury:So we had dumped dumps from Harry and we had double doors from Chelsea.
Garrett:That's right.
Yury:And I just came up with Dumberellas
Garrett:So Dumberellas, Dumbledoors.
Garrett:Dumdums I believe okay.
Yury:Not dummerellas, Dumberellas.
Garrett:Dumberellas, you gotta pronounce the B in there.
Garrett:So
Yury:actually could sound like if Dumbo and Cinderella had a kid Dumberella.
Yury:I'll get back to the drawing board.
Yury:I'll come up with something.
Garrett:Yeah, I would appreciate you, uh, using the creative side there.
Garrett:But the point that I was trying to make is maybe if the guest who comes on and
Garrett:plays Fill In The Dumb with us, maybe if they beat me in the game, maybe they
Garrett:get to pick what we call the person what we call our listeners next week.
Yury:Oh, I love this idea.
Garrett:It's like our virtual trophy to them.
Garrett:Plus we're giving them the opportunity to call our listeners
Garrett:something new next week.
Yury:I like it.
Yury:All right.
Yury:In fact, I'm going to take this.
Yury:I'm going to put it into our minutes.
Garrett:Our minutes?
Yury:That's not what people do on like board meetings?
Garrett:Meeting minutes?
Garrett:Are you taking minutes from this?
Yury:I don't even know what minutes means.
Yury:What does it mean when you take minutes?
Garrett:I think it's just like taking notes, but it's what they used to call it
Garrett:back in like the fifties and the sixties.
Yury:But why can't they let's call it notes.
Yury:Hey, what were the notes from the meeting?
Yury:I don't know.
Yury:You mean the minutes?
Yury:I don't know.
Yury:I don't know if somebody understands why they're called minutes.
Yury:Please email me.
Yury:Let me know.
Garrett:What's your email address Yury?
Yury:Yury, yury@dumbweek.Com.
Yury:That's Yury, yury@dumbweek.Com.
Garrett:And how else might our listeners get in touch with us?
Yury:Well, they can call us on the a phone number 1-888-FAN-DUMB.
Yury:That's 1-888-FAN-DUMB.
Garrett:Any other ways they could get in
Garrett:touch with us.
Yury:Well, they can find us on all social media.
Yury:They can find us on podcast networks.
Yury:We're on YouTube.
Yury:We're on Fox 11, CBS eye witness news.
Garrett:That's only, that's only when they're after me in
Garrett:the, in the high-speed chases.
Garrett:That's the only time we end up on the news, you know that.
Yury:In Florida,
Garrett:In Florida, you know, I was, um, I was working this week.
Garrett:I know, shocking to everybody listening that I have an actual job.
Garrett:And I was talking with one of the folks that I work with, one of my
Garrett:colleagues, and we were having a conversation about email etiquette.
Garrett:And like, when is it okay to send emails?
Garrett:Because I work with a global team.
Garrett:So is it all right to send an email here and there?
Garrett:And it got me thinking about text messaging and I don't know if you have a
Garrett:thing about this or not Yury, but one of the dumbest things that I have run into
Garrett:probably in the last couple of months, uh, when it came to communicating with
Garrett:someone, was somebody actually got really mad at me for sending them a text at
Garrett:like six 30 in the morning on a Saturday,
Yury:Dude, it's hilarious you say this.
Yury:I got into an argument with someone because they were upset that I
Yury:was texting them late at night.
Garrett:So when you say you got into an argument with someone, can you, can
Garrett:you dig a little bit deeper on that?
Garrett:Were there fisticuffs thrown?
Garrett:See, we're talking minutes and fisticuffs now.
Garrett:Uh, were there fisticuffs thrown or was it just like a verbal argument?
Garrett:Did you slap each other in the face?
Yury:There was no slapping.
Yury:There was no fisticuffs.
Yury:It's all in the minutes.
Yury:If you want to go back and review that they were upset because I was texting.
Yury:I think it wasn't even that late.
Yury:It was like 1130.
Yury:Given he has two to 1130.
Garrett:Yeah.
Garrett:I mean, for those of us that have kids, 1130 is super late, dude.
Garrett:I gotta be up at like six in the morning.
Yury:The reason texting was invented was so you didn't have to call someone.
Yury:It's basically an instant email.
Yury:If I was to drive up to your house at midnight and put an envelope in your
Yury:mailbox outside, would you be upset?
Garrett:I would probably call the cops and let them know.
Garrett:There was a strange person out in front of my house.
Garrett:Yes.
Yury:You don't know what it is, I could be leaving a checks and cash.
Yury:If you don't like to receive texts late in the evening, because of
Yury:family obligations, well, the most phone companies have already
Yury:solved this issue for you by just turning your phone on silent.
Yury:Now, if you're going to come back and say, Oh, but the phone buzzes you can turn on,
Yury:do not disturb, if you have an iPhone.
Yury:If you have an Android, then I suggest you just immediately go get an iPhone because,
Garrett:because you're living in the dark ages, get with the times.
Garrett:Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Garrett:So.
Garrett:My phone.
Garrett:So, as I mentioned, I work with a global team, right folks all over the world.
Garrett:So my phone goes off
Yury:So, global teams means all around the world,?
Garrett:All around the world.
Garrett:Thanks for calling.
Yury:Gotcha.
Garrett:It goes off at all hours.
Garrett:And so I actually, I have on my phone in the settings, the bedtime feature enabled.
Garrett:So every night at 11:00 PM, my phone goes into bedtime mode and it doesn't
Garrett:come off bedtime mode until 7:00 AM.
Garrett:So if I get any emails, any texts, messages, any calls, anything during
Garrett:that time, my phone doesn't make a single noise so I can sleep through the night.
Yury:Now, does it have an override feature?
Yury:Because on iPhone, it's called do not disturb.
Yury:I imagine it's the same thing, but just probably works way better.
Garrett:I'm on an iPhone Yury I'm with the times.
Yury:Well, it's not called bedtime, then
Garrett:It is called bedtime.
Yury:It's called do not disturb.
Garrett:Oh my gosh.
Garrett:Hold on.
Garrett:Let's go into settings real quick.
Garrett:Damn it.
Garrett:Am I wrong?
Yury:What's it called?
Yury:Garrett.
Yury:What's it called?
Yury:Garrett.
Yury:We all can't read your screen in a podcast.
Garrett:Okay.
Garrett:So it's a scheduled do not disturb, so,
Yury:Oh, goodness gracious.
Yury:Wow.
Yury:You're so you're about as good as life as you are at fill in the dumb
Garrett:ah, ouch dude.
Yury:Just kidding.
Garrett:That was kind of Savage.
Yury:It was a little Savage.
Yury:I apologize.
Garrett:The one thing that drives me the most crazy.
Garrett:Is when you're in a group chat with somebody and they add somebody into the
Garrett:group chat that has an Android phone.
Garrett:And all of a sudden your entire group chat becomes green.
Garrett:and not blue.
Yury:I was literally having this conversation this morning, my
Yury:stepfather who lives out of state, he had an Android I'm consistently
Yury:texting my mother who has an iPhone.
Yury:It's a joy.
Yury:If you have an iPhone and you're texting other iPhone users and a group
Yury:chat, and it's amazing, blue is good.
Yury:Then there's certain group chats where it'll be 99% iPhones, and
Yury:that one Android person in the group ruins it ruins the whole chat.
Yury:But what I'm getting at is today, my stepdad upgraded
Yury:from Android to an iPhone.
Garrett:All right.
Garrett:Well, let's get into some stories.
Garrett:Yury.
Garrett:What do you think?
Yury:I think that's a great idea.
Yury:I think a lot happened this week.
Yury:There's a lot of dumbness to be had.
Garrett:There's so much dumbness.
Garrett:It's hard to decide what we're going to talk about, but I'm going to,
Garrett:there's a theme to my stories today.
Garrett:And I had a theme, probably one of our first episodes.
Garrett:Uh, I have another theme today and the theme today is going to
Garrett:be all around fast food again.
Yury:How many times when you go through a drive-through, do they mess up your order?
Yury:For me, it's like nine out of 10 times.
Yury:And every time I discover a mess up, all I can think of is you have
Yury:one job,
Garrett:I'll take it a step further.
Garrett:Not only do they mess up the order nine times out of 10,
Garrett:but 99.9, nine, 9% of the time.
Garrett:It's my wife's food.
Garrett:And then
Yury:I think they're not paying these people enough.
Yury:I really think that the, they need to just up the pay a little bit,
Yury:just enough to get them to care.
Yury:That's really the baseline for any employee is you want them paid enough
Yury:to just care the right amount to get the customers service satisfaction level up.
Garrett:What a great segue into our first story, Yury.
Garrett:Thanks for that.
Garrett:The title of this first story that I want to bring to you this week is
Garrett:woman shoots at Burger King employees, overweight time at the drive-thru.
Yury:Shooting a gun?
Garrett:Yes.
Garrett:Shooting a gun.
Garrett:A drive-thru order became a violent when a woman opened
Yury:Holy shit
Garrett:into a Memphis Tennessee burger King.
Yury:Oh my Whopper.
Garrett:According to police, this woman was in the drive-through line.
Garrett:She got out of her car.
Garrett:Walks up to the window and starts arguing with one of these employees and
Garrett:there's actually surveillance video.
Garrett:And we all know how wonderful surveillance video is, right?
Yury:It's like watching a video made in a Minecraft world, but if you want
Yury:to see pictures of space and Mars.
Garrett:It's super simple to do, right?
Garrett:I'm going to send you the link to this article Yury.
Garrett:And you should, you should take a look at this article.
Garrett:It shows a picture of her, you know, those drive-through windows,
Garrett:they opened like only halfway.
Garrett:You can actually see her standing with her face.
Garrett:In the drive-through window, holding a gun and pointing it at the employee.
Yury:You know, I'm looking at this picture of her leaning
Yury:in the drive-through and she's pointing a gun, at the staff.
Yury:You have to be a hardcore impatient person because obviously
Yury:she had the gun with her.
Yury:So she was expecting that at some point she was going to need a gun to
Yury:basically make her stand about, I didn't want to wait 10 minutes for a Whopper.
Garrett:I love what burger Kings official statement in response
Garrett:to this whole incident was.
Yury:Is it something along the lines of, uh, to any future customers
Yury:our Whopper bang athon was not meant to be taken, literally.
Yury:Please do not bring firearms to our establishments, signed management.
Garrett:Damn dude, you hit the nail on the head with that one.
Garrett:The official statement says we do not tolerate or condone violence of
Garrett:any kind at our restaurants because the safety of our team members
Garrett:and guests is our top priority.
Garrett:Fortunately, no one in the restaurant was injured during this incident.
Garrett:The restaurant operator is fully cooperating with authorities
Garrett:in their ongoing investigation.
Yury:Garrett, I think Whoppers are the best segue into our weekly game.
Yury:I know you are the co-host on this podcast.
Garrett:Last time I checked anyway.
Garrett:Are you, are you firing me?
Garrett:Is this my firing?
Yury:Did you have some, you were going to say?
Garrett:No, I was just wondering how we're going to play this game
Garrett:when our guest backed out at the last minute and, well, let's be honest.
Garrett:It's 10 30 at night and I'm not going to call anybody.
Garrett:I could probably text someone, but maybe they probably won't get it
Garrett:because their phone is on silent.
Yury:It's not 10:30 at night.
Yury:It's Monday morning when people are listening.
Garrett:That's right.
Garrett:It's Monday morning.
Garrett:It's the magic of this podcast.
Yury:Do not lose the magic and smoke and mirrors of this podcast.
Garrett:Do people think we're recording this live or like playing it live.
Garrett:Ladies and gentlemen, go to the podcast store, subscribe to our podcast and the
Garrett:instant you hit play Yury, and I will be sitting in front of our microphones
Garrett:and we will bring you this episode live.
Yury:We are dumbweek.com on demand.
Yury:Oh, we should start a monthly service like Netflix and Hulu we'll just be on demand.
Yury:We'll sit in front of our computers, 24 hours a day, waiting for
Yury:someone to buy tokens with Bitcoin.
Yury:How much does it cost to get 10 minutes of dumbweek.com live?
Yury:Oh point 0000000003.
Yury:Bitcoins.
Garrett:I'm sorry.
Garrett:Is that them paying us for our time or do we have to pay them to listen?
Yury:We have to see how the next couple of months goes.
Garrett:All right, fine.
Garrett:Hey, can we get into the game now?
Yury:Garrett, I'm sure you're aware how the game fill in the dumb works.
Yury:Normally we have a guest host to play along with us, but this week is a little
Yury:different today as our guest host.
Yury:I am featuring you.
Yury:Basically, we don't have a guest host is what I'm saying.
Yury:We have nobody.
Yury:So you're going to play, but I'm going to, I'm going to kick
Yury:up the stakes a little bit.
Garrett:So I'm guaranteed to win, right?
Yury:You are not guaranteed to win.
Yury:Cause I still make up the rules and I still assign points the way I deem fit.
Garrett:All right, I'll give it a try.
Yury:Anyway.
Yury:Here's how going to up the ante a little bit, Garrett, I will give you $50 for
Yury:every answer that you get correct.
Yury:You have a chance of winning $150.
Garrett:Wow.
Garrett:I I'm, I'm like blown away, dude.
Garrett:Like we didn't set this up ahead of time.
Yury:We did not set this up ahead of time and I was shocked $50,
Yury:but there are some rules here.
Yury:You need to keep your hands on the microphone so I could see them to ensure
Yury:that you are not Googling anything.
Garrett:What's a Google?
Yury:And for every answer you get correct.
Yury:I will give you $50.
Garrett:Okay.
Garrett:I'm ready.
Garrett:Let's do this.
Yury:Okay.
Yury:Every time I can't see your hands on the microphone, I
Yury:will deduct $30 from the prize.
Yury:Okay, good.
Yury:I can see your hands starting with the university of Kentucky,
Yury:which is in the state of Kentucky.
Yury:If you weren't aware.
Yury:The university of Kentucky mistakenly sent blank and your possible answers
Yury:are diplomas to students that had failed, tuition checks instead of
Yury:tuition bills, or half a million acceptance letters and taking it
Yury:over to Garrett since he's our only,
Garrett:all right.
Garrett:So we've got three options here.
Garrett:Uh, and I'm sorry, where did you say this university was?
Yury:Kentucky.
Yury:The state of Kentucky.
Yury:They have a university, the U of K I I'm assuming it's U of K.
Garrett:So either sent out diplomas to students who failed,
Yury:correct
Garrett:tuition checks
Yury:Actually, possibly correct.
Garrett:That's fair tuition checks instead of tuition bills.
Garrett:Or half a million acceptance letters.
Garrett:Wow.
Garrett:Well, half a million acceptance letters seems way too obvious.
Garrett:It is college acceptance season though.
Garrett:So maybe that is the right answer diplomas to students who failed.
Garrett:I don't think it's the right time of year for that, but the tuition checks
Garrett:instead of tuition bills, that one kind of made me think, I mean, in the grand
Garrett:scheme of things, if they screwed up and sent tuition checks, instead of a tuition
Garrett:bill, They could just cancel the checks right, and save themselves the money?
Yury:Sure.
Garrett:That's probably what they would talk about.
Garrett:I don't think they would want to openly talk about accidentally
Garrett:sending out diplomas or half a million acceptance letters.
Garrett:So you know what I'm going to lock in with tuition checks and Yury.
Garrett:I'm ready for my first $50.
Garrett:Tell me I'm right now.
Yury:So Garrett locks in tuition checks were accidentally sent out
Yury:well, First answer is incorrect.
Yury:The technical issues at the university of Kentucky cost 500,000
Yury:high school seniors to be accepted into a program that only usually
Yury:accepts about three dozen students.
Yury:The school followed up with another email less than 24 hours later.
Yury:And apologized for its mistakes stating our bad.
Garrett:Hold on.
Garrett:So does it say what the program was?
Garrett:They were accidentally accepted into
Yury:agricultural mathematics, chicken plus chicken equals chickens.
Garrett:All right.
Garrett:Well, I didn't get that one right
Yury:Out of 150.
Yury:You've lost 50 you're down to a hundred dollars that you are possibly able to win.
Garrett:Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Garrett:You didn't tell me.
Garrett:I started with $150.
Garrett:Had you told me that?
Garrett:I would've said, fuck it.
Garrett:Let's not play the game.
Garrett:I just want the money and let's call it a day.
Yury:Clearly you went to agricultural mathematics school.
Yury:So I'm going to agree with you on that one and say, you start at
Yury:zero and you've won nothing so far.
Garrett:I want my chicken,
Yury:Onto the second question.
Yury:A New Mexico man returned to his car after shopping and
Yury:found 15,000 blank in his car.
Yury:Your possible answers are dollars pennies, or bees.
Garrett:Let's see if I can figure this out together.
Garrett:So New Mexico, 15,000 blanks after he went shopping dollars pennies or bees.
Yury:Correct.
Garrett:I'm going to have to rule out bees because I don't think there's
Garrett:15,000 bees left anywhere oh sad sound.
Yury:That'd be a lot of bees by the way.
Garrett:A lot of bees and I would run away because I don't like bees.
Garrett:Uh, I love bees.
Garrett:Don't get me wrong.
Garrett:Sorry, but I just don't want to get stung by 15,000 bees.
Garrett:I remember when they had those killer bees that were like swarming in
Garrett:high school and like Junior High and they told us like, don't go outside.
Yury:Oh, I thought you were talking about the murder Hornets from last year.
Garrett:Oh no, that's a whole nother thing.
Garrett:I'm talking about the killer bees,
Yury:Why is it every decade we get scared with some kind of new strain of bee.
Yury:So there was killer bees and then that kind of died out and then they're like
Yury:murder Hornets, and that kind of died out.
Yury:And now there's going to be like, Teradactyl honey bees that could
Yury:live for 10 minutes after they die.
Garrett:We're going to be the ones that die out, not them.
Yury:Correct.
Garrett:15,000 dollars, pennies or bees.
Garrett:So I've ruled out bees.
Garrett:I don't know how there would be 15,000 pennies anywhere.
Garrett:So I'm going to say this one is $15,000.
Yury:Now, before I give you the correct answer, 15,000 pennies, I don't
Yury:think that would be that much, right?
Yury:That's the only, like it's $150.
Yury:I didn't do well in math.
Garrett:What is that in agricultural math?
Yury:I went to the university of Kentucky, uh, agricultural
Yury:mathematics division.
Yury:That's going to be our new merch shirt by the way, university of
Yury:Kentucky, agricultural mathematics.
Garrett:Is it going to have a picture of chickens?
Yury:It's going to be like alumni.
Garrett:I just did some quick math and 15,000 pennies is only 150 bucks.
Garrett:So I'm more thinking it's, there's not a chance.
Garrett:It's 15,000 pennies.
Garrett:Cause that's a lot of fricking pennies to throw in someone's car.
Yury:Sure.
Yury:But somebody would throw in $15,000?
Garrett:Hey man, maybe it was like undercover millionaire, undercover boss.
Garrett:One of those shows where they come knocking on your door.
Garrett:Normally they knock on your door.
Garrett:This time they saw this guy's car and they're like, ah, this guy
Garrett:looks like he's living in poverty.
Garrett:His car looks terrible.
Garrett:Uh, here let's just give them $15,000.
Garrett:I'm still sticking with $15,000 Yury.
Yury:Well, there Garrett earlier this week, a man left an
Yury:Albertson's grocery store, and when he returned to his vehicle,
Yury:to which he left his windows open.
Yury:He found 15,000 bees.
Garrett:Shut the front door.
Yury:And actually he didn't find them at first.
Yury:It wasn't until he started to drive off that he noticed the thousands
Yury:of bees taking the trip with him.
Garrett:All right.
Garrett:I call bullshit.
Garrett:How do you not notice 15,000 bees in your car?
Garrett:What kind of car was he driving?
Yury:The fire department was soon on scene.
Yury:Here's the best part.
Yury:It just so happens.
Yury:One of the firemen on scene.
Yury:Was an experienced beekeeper.
Yury:How random is that?
Yury:Right?
Garrett:What, what makes you an experienced beekeeper?
Garrett:Is that like something you go to school for at the university of Kentucky?
Yury:I think in 2021, and you watch a couple YouTube videos,
Yury:you can be an expert in any field.
Garrett:Yes.
Garrett:I, I, that's how I got to become an expert in podcasting was watching
Garrett:a couple of YouTube videos and I'm still working on that one.
Yury:Yeah, I'm not a plumber, but I've seen some videos and
Yury:I call myself an expert at like fixing leaky sinks and stuff.
Garrett:Yeah.
Garrett:And did they still remain not leaky after you're done or are they even worse?
Garrett:Because typically when I'm done with them, they get worse.
Yury:Depends on the youTube video you watch in this case, no major
Yury:injuries were reported, but an Albertson security guard was stung.
Garrett:15,000 bees?
Garrett:Dude.
Garrett:That's a lot of bees.
Yury:You will hear them, right?
Yury:You think you get in the car and you would hear like the hum of bees.
Garrett:That's what I'm saying.
Garrett:Like, I call them bullshit on this story because you would, there's no
Garrett:way you could get into a car and not realize there's 15,000 bees in there.
Garrett:So I think the story is bullshit.
Garrett:And I think you owe me 50 bucks.
Yury:I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on that one,
Yury:Garrett, I'm going to say the article was published on the internet, which
Yury:means it was probably fact checked.
Garrett:And if you believe that.
Garrett:No, I doubt it, dude.
Garrett:I'm sorry.
Garrett:Let's let's just say everything on the internet is true, right?
Yury:Is it not?
Garrett:That's what we're going with?
Yury:All right.
Yury:For the last and final question at your chance to possibly win $50
Yury:in Washington, a man was arrested for allegedly stealing blank.
Yury:And your possible answers are a 400 pound playground slide, 85 chairs
Yury:from a Denny's restaurant or 25 hotel shower heads off to you Garrett.
Garrett:I'm sorry, I'm just sitting here envisioning, because I know one
Garrett:of these answers is right, right.
Garrett:So I'm envisioning some dude with a 400 pound playground slide going up to
Garrett:a Denny's then subsequently stealing 85 chairs while he's carrying a bag
Garrett:with 25 hotel shower heads in it.
Yury:I mean, I can see a motive for wanting to steal, you know,
Yury:any of these they're all plausable.
Garrett:Is there, is there a D all of the above option?
Yury:Unfortunately for your $50, there is not, but I've
Yury:seen some nice Denny's chairs.
Yury:Now.
Yury:I wonder if it was like a Denny's chair or like the booth, because that
Yury:would make a nice, like backyard band.
Garrett:Now, listen, let's just talk about this for historical purposes,
Garrett:because we don't know when people will actually hear this episode and
Garrett:maybe you're listening to this in 2022 or 2023, when the world has gone
Garrett:back to normal, but this is 2021.
Garrett:And.
Garrett:The fact is we're still stuck in outdoor dining, most places.
Garrett:And so there's not going to be 85 chairs sitting around anywhere
Garrett:unless you have a really gigantic parking lot because of all the social
Garrett:distancing and all the other stuff.
Garrett:Right?
Garrett:So I don't think it's 85 chairs from a Denny's.
Garrett:Twenty-five hotel, shower heads or 400 pound playground slide.
Garrett:Does it say how fit this guy was?
Yury:It shows a picture of him and he's pretty fit.
Yury:Maybe mid thirties,
Garrett:Mid thirties, so not rocking the dad bod, he's pretty fit.
Yury:Looks clean.
Yury:Like he's been freshly showered 25 times.
Garrett:I was leaning towards the slide because you said he was
Garrett:fit, but now you've got me leaning back towards the shower heads.
Garrett:And now I got to think about this is Yury, trying to distract me so
Garrett:I don't win the 50 bucks from him.
Yury:He also looks well rested.
Yury:Like he's been sitting
Garrett:Now, I'm all screwed up.
Garrett:Now I have no idea.
Garrett:You know what?
Garrett:I'm just going to take a guess because I have absolutely no idea what it could be.
Garrett:So I'm just going to say it's the 25 hotel shower heads.
Yury:And Garrett, you are actually correct.
Garrett:What?
Yury:No, I'm kidding.
Yury:You're absolutely wrong on that one.
Garrett:You suck!
Yury:A Washington man was arrested for allegedly stealing
Yury:a 400 pound playground slide.
Garrett:Oh my God.
Yury:The local police department was investigating
Yury:thefts of catalytic converters.
Yury:I have no idea what these are, what they do on a car, but apparently people have,
Garrett:Oh my God, dude.
Garrett:They're part of like the smog system and they get stolen all the
Garrett:time because they're so expensive.
Yury:So police were, filing a search warrant on a guy's house inside the house.
Yury:This guy had stolen a 400 pound playground slide and attached it to the bunk bed in
Yury:his kids were so, first of all, Bravo, like, well done this guy's my hero,
Yury:not for stealing, but the creativity.
Garrett:Totally.
Yury:The police were able to solve this case of the missing slide.
Yury:And of course they found a buttload of catalytic converters.
Yury:That this guy was also stealing.
Garrett:So, he used the slide to transport the catalytic converters
Garrett:from the top bunk to the floor, right?
Yury:Like a speedy system.
Yury:He's like the McDonald's of catalytic converter theft
Garrett:Damnit dude, that means I didn't get any right.
Yury:You got nothing, man.
Yury:I gave you a chance to win $150.
Garrett:Even when it's just me playing the game.
Garrett:I still can't fucking win anything.
Yury:You know, I kept thinking it, you know, If I add some money to the game
Yury:and give you like a prize, then it'll really make you kind of like think, try
Yury:to figure out what's the correct answer.
Yury:And clearly today you have proven me wrong.
Garrett:Next week, we're adding lifelines.
Garrett:That's all I'm saying.
Yury:I think we should start adding lifelines.
Yury:Well, that was this week's failed fill in the dumb.
Garrett:Failed?
Garrett:Makes me feel so good.
Garrett:Yury.
Garrett:Thanks so much.
Garrett:I mentioned that my stories this week had a theme, right?
Garrett:We're talking fast food
Yury:Yep.
Yury:We're like the Disneyland of podcasts.
Garrett:So we talked about the woman shooting at the burger King.
Garrett:Now we're going to talk about a little story that happened over in Maryland,
Garrett:at a taco bell and the title of the article is off-duty correctional
Garrett:officers allegedly run over a group of people and crash through Taco Bell.
Yury:Well, I like the allegedly, like, but either did it or they didn't do
Garrett:it.
Garrett:I mean, it's ABC news on the website.
Garrett:So they have to be super politically correct.
Garrett:I guess,
Yury:Sure, you're innocent until proven guilty.
Garrett:They also put up a video of this happening.
Garrett:And you can actually see in the video, this happened,
Yury:well, hold on, they allegedly put up a video.
Garrett:Well, unless somebody hacked their site, I'm pretty
Garrett:sure they put this video up.
Garrett:Two off duty, correction officers from Maryland are being charged with
Garrett:attempted murder and a bunch of other crimes after they ran over a group of
Garrett:people and then crash to the front of a taco bell and an apparent case of
Garrett:yet again, Fast food order outrage.
Yury:Was this like road rage over the fast food.
Garrett:That's what they're calling it.
Garrett:Fast food order outrage, which I guess is pretty much what happened
Garrett:with the girl at burger King as well.
Garrett:Right.
Garrett:What gets me about this is these are off-duty correctional officers.
Garrett:So you would think that they would be a little bit smarter.
Garrett:I mean, at least they weren't.
Garrett:Going in guns drawn and shooting up the place.
Yury:Or, have some morals, maybe a little bit of integrity.
Garrett:Integrity, thank you.
Garrett:That's what I was looking for.
Garrett:Integrity.
Garrett:Uh, it says that, uh, Tanisha Williams, who was 25 and diamond Johnson who
Garrett:were 28, had argued with workers in the drive-through about their food order.
Garrett:After that they decided, you know what, I'm not done.
Garrett:Like, you know how you kind of like, you get riled up about something
Garrett:and then you just kind of leave.
Garrett:Cause you're like, you know what?
Garrett:This isn't worth my time.
Garrett:I don't want to go to jail.
Garrett:I'm not getting arrested.
Garrett:Right.
Garrett:Especially as a corrections officer, I would think they probably
Garrett:would not want to go to jail.
Yury:You would think because they've had an inside look at it.
Garrett:Yeah, not really.
Garrett:Right.
Garrett:So this is after they argued with the drive-through worker, both women exited
Garrett:the car and then one of them assaulted the employee through the window.
Garrett:They got back into their car, drove around to the front of the taco bell.
Garrett:Where the person who was driving the car, drove toward a group
Garrett:of people before stopping.
Garrett:So she didn't actually hit anybody.
Garrett:She just drove towards them.
Garrett:She's like, hi, I'm going to get you, hah.
Garrett:Watch this.
Garrett:And then she backed up.
Garrett:Right?
Garrett:She backs up.
Garrett:The people are still taunting each other.
Garrett:This time she drives towards the group again.
Garrett:Plowing into the people.
Garrett:You see bodies flying all over the place and then smashing through
Garrett:the front of the restaurant.
Yury:Oh, for Chalupa's sake.
Garrett:Uh, the good news about this one though, Yury, although
Garrett:there were multiple people injured, none, none of their injuries were
Garrett:appearing to be life-threatening.
Garrett:So people got hurt.
Yury:She trampled through a crowd with a car.
Yury:Nobody got major major, it says unreal, what kind of car was she driving?
Yury:That must have been like a Tesla.
Yury:Those things don't have much power.
Yury:Right?
Garrett:I think it was an older model, like Honda civic.
Garrett:Uh, and so it had like that scooped hood on the front.
Garrett:So when she hit the people, the people just kind of went flying.
Yury:I'm going to run for governor and I'm going to run on the basis
Yury:of creating a new law that all cars exterior wise will be made of Nerf.
Garrett:I'm sorry.
Garrett:Made of Nerf?
Yury:Nerf, Nerf, like the foam Nerf guns.
Garrett:And what is that going to do for us?
Yury:Okay.
Yury:Let's say you accidentally hit a pedestrian, but instead of killing them,
Yury:you'll just get like a giggle out of them.
Yury:You've been hit with a Nerf gun.
Garrett:I have been hit with a Nerf gun.
Yury:It always makes you giggle.
Garrett:It does!
Garrett:I can't, I can't argue with you on that.
Garrett:You're absolutely right.
Garrett:Interestingly enough, they are both now being held at the County detention center
Garrett:where they both worked at,without bail.
Garrett:So I imagine they're having a fun time right now.
Yury:Well, that's embarrassing.
Yury:Like, weren't you just here yesterday, working.
Yury:Now you're in here.
Garrett:I don't know what you're talking about.
Garrett:I've never seen you before in my life.
Yury:You know, I've been in many, many drive-throughs and I've gotten upset.
Garrett:Oh, hold on.
Garrett:I thought you were going to say I've been in many, many jails.
Garrett:The story would have been completely different.
Garrett:No, go ahead.
Garrett:Sorry.
Yury:That would have took a turn.
Yury:I've been in many, many drive throughs as a patron, legally at an establishment.
Yury:And I've been upset with many things, whether it's loud
Yury:music or rude employees or.
Yury:Loud music,
Garrett:Or rude employees.
Yury:Or rude employees.
Yury:I've never, once in my car said, fuck it.
Yury:I'm just going to kill everyone.
Garrett:I can't say that I've ever had that much fast food order outrage.
Yury:So do we have anyone for dummy of the week?
Garrett:I'm glad you asked.
Voice Over:It's time for the dummy of the week.
Voice Over:Oh who will it be?
Voice Over:Let's find out!
Garrett:Our dummy of the week, this week comes from none other than
Yury:Florida?
Garrett:Florida.
Yury:Uh, I knew it was Florida
Garrett:And the title for this one was a man is accused of drinking Four Lokos now.
Garrett:Okay.
Garrett:I'm going to stop right now because I've never heard of this before.
Garrett:Have you heard of these Four Lokos?
Yury:Yah, it's a malted liquor drink comes in a can?
Garrett:Well, apparently you drink more alcohol than I do
Garrett:because I had never heard of it.
Yury:They're super high.
Yury:The alcohol content on them.
Yury:Super high.
Garrett:Well, apparently this man is accused of drinking Four Lokos
Garrett:while he's injecting Botox on people.
Garrett:Without even having a license to do so.
Yury:Okay.
Yury:You just threw a lot of information at me in one sitting.
Yury:He's drinking four Locos
Garrett:on the job,
Yury:on the job, like a medical medical job.
Yury:Yup.
Yury:And he's injecting people with Botox?
Garrett:No, that's exactly what's happening here, Yury.
Garrett:So this guy is drinking on the job, working at this medical spa and giving
Garrett:people Botox injections, and Oh, by the way, wasn't even licensed to
Garrett:be doing Botox in the first place.
Yury:See, this guy just got greedy with his immorality.
Yury:So he doesn't have a license to give Botox injections.
Yury:He's giving injections and he's drinking on the job
Garrett:While he's giving the injections.
Garrett:That is absolutely correct.
Garrett:Just to make it even more interesting.
Yury:There's more?
Garrett:Oh, there's more, this guy was also receiving the Botox illegally.
Garrett:Like the actual vials that he was using, he wasn't even supposed to have the Botox.
Garrett:So he's stealing the Botox.
Yury:Would you really expect someone who's not licensed
Yury:drinking Four Lokos injecting Botox to obtain the Botox legally?
Garrett:You know, how they finally caught him though.
Garrett:A Sheriff's deputy went into the spa where he was working and posed as a client.
Garrett:And when they got in.
Garrett:Sat down for their Botox injection.
Garrett:The guy says here have a four Lokos with me and they drank it together.
Yury:What an awkward situation though, when the guy is coming at
Yury:him with the needle and the cops like, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa.
Yury:Or the officer comes out and he's drunk with Botox injections.
Yury:And they're like, what happened?
Yury:Did you arrest him?
Yury:No man.
Yury:But look, I can't smile.
Garrett:I think you mean I can't frown.
Yury:I can't frown.
Yury:I can't smile.
Yury:I can't do much smiling.
Garrett:My face is frozen.
Yury:Officer Jones, you're going to get fired because of this.
Yury:Aren't you upset?
Yury:I'm really upset.
Yury:Can't you tell?
Garrett:I'm devastated guys, but my tear ducts aren't working anymore.
