Starting point is 00:02:01 We were joking around. Sitting around eating tacos, joking around and Jay. Scott Armstrong. Scott Armstrong one of the funniest people. I started on a riff with Scott Armstrong about his daughter's college essay. And I'm like, does she take Punch Up from you? He said no.
Starting point is 00:02:15 I'm like, that's gonna be a problem because now it's gotta get studio notes. And then network notes. And then those notes sometimes are contradictory. With each other. By the way, Kent Alterman from Comedy, old Comedy Central guy is there. Mark Foreman from Electric Avenue,
Starting point is 00:02:29 he's sitting to my right. And they're laughing and laughing. And then Jay has what I, a comment that made me get up and walk around the table and high five him. He said, like as if he was doing one of the network notes, he said. Does it have to be college?
Starting point is 00:02:42 That's right, for her college essay. This is such a good joke. I almost spit out taco. I'm so happy you're here. Because the world is dumb, as that hilarious joke points out, that studio people and network people can be very dumb. But the world itself is dumb.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Our friends and our fans send us in stories and then we're just gonna go through a couple. Is that okay? Yeah, I like the chemistry of this whole thing. Like we saw each other, we made some jokes, I made a joke that was up to your standard. Oh, it was, I've retold it four times and credited you every time.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Every time. And here I am now. And now that you're here. We made it actually appear. That's it, I love it. So the first story sent in, I've got it by Matthew Friedman, at not your average AVG, Matt. Thanks buddy.
Starting point is 00:03:26 You ready for this? Yes. It's crazy, three of us have kids that go to school, so if this happened at your school. My kids don't go to school. Dan doesn't have kids. All right, here we go. Staff changes made after controversial post
Starting point is 00:03:41 by Florence County School. I'm gonna show you the people. Probably like a Facebook post. Oh'm gonna show you the people. Probably like a Facebook post. Oh yeah. So these are the. That the school made. Okay, that the school, that people from the school.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Here we go. Florence County, South Carolina. Okay, you were performed in South Carolina? I have never performed in South Carolina. We proposed. We had an amazing food scene in Columbia. Oh yeah. Isn't Rory from South Carolina? Rory Sco Carolina? Yeah. Oh yeah. I love that guy.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And insensitive quote. It really wasn't sensitive. You don't have to make it insensitive quote in quotes. Social media post from Royal elementary school. These are little kids in Florence County, which has since been deleted, has led to several employees no longer being employed at the school, as well as school leadership changes according to a news release from district administrators. In the photos, and I'll show them to you,
Starting point is 00:04:33 two of the staff wore T-shirts that said U.S. Border Patrol standing in front of a brick wall, which was- This was like Halloween themed? Which was the only part of the display to represent the country of Mexico during an event, Wednesday highlighting different countries. So you're doing an event highlighting-
Starting point is 00:04:54 So the Mexico booth was a brick wall and two teachers- With two people saying border patrol on top of it. It's very current. Ice. Ice, baby. The event was part of Royals first week of school celebration.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Oh, this isn't even Halloween. This is recently. This is their own version of like, shitty Epcot. Okay, ready? Jay, I want to inform you, due to serious nature of this incident, several employees are no longer employed by the district, have been placed on leave by the district's administration.
Starting point is 00:05:21 As superintendent, I will not tolerate anything of this nature in our school district. That's them saying, I wanna keep my job, right? That's right. They have to come out. I mean, in the 80s, that joke would be in a John Hughes movie. Right? We would be like, ah!
Starting point is 00:05:35 That's what it is, guys! And now, what does it mean? We've changed? We've changed a little bit, but also I don't know if that's the best thing to do when talking about countries. There's probably a lot of other things you talk about in Mexico. I think we've changed a little bit, but also, I don't know if that's the best thing to do when talking about countries. There's probably a lot of other things you're talking about in Mexico.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I think we've changed to the point where we now know the places where these things can fit. By the way, people are smart. They can sniff out when the pendulum has swung too far, where you're like, that's just you being too sensitive. There's insensitive, and then there's too sensitive. And there's a middle ground that we can all kind of live in. Anything around children, I think, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:12 like open racism around children where I would draw my honor. That's a good way to do it. That's fair. Christopher Rogersus. I'm like, pick a name, dude. Are you Rogers? Rogers?
Starting point is 00:06:23 That is a name that never sounds sober. What's your name there, sir? Richard Rogers. Okay, well you're obviously drunk. I played golf with a guy yesterday. His last name was Morphy. Morphy? I'm like, is it?
Starting point is 00:06:36 Is it really? Are you just hiding from the law? Is it Morphy into something else? I think it was Murphy and it's Morphy in his name. Directors of the STEM education presently, but will work as the administrator at Royal until further notice. He served in Florence since 2009 when he was hired as a principal of Carver Elementary School. As nearly 30 years of experience, Julie Smith served as the school's principal for more than 20 years. It's not clear. We're getting fired. It's not clear if she's in a position or not. I want to assure Royal
Starting point is 00:07:03 Community that the school will continue to provide exceptional education for the students with high expectations, blah, blah, blah. Royal Elementary issued an apology on Thursday after the post received backlash from the parents and Mexican American community members. Apology Reads, it is with regret that we acknowledge that a picture was posted to their Facebook page. This is where people get into trouble.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Idiots. Unplug the internet. Who is the Facebook page for? Your aunt? Sure. The police department. Yeah. And for us to book shows.
Starting point is 00:07:32 For us to get fans to come out to show. At Royal, we take great pride in our long-term tradition of embracing and supporting every student who walks through the doors of our building. Our staff is unanimously committed to celebrating diversity. The other shame of this is the Mexico table section should be the most fun.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Exactly. We got a pinata over here. They got some breros. Yes, they probably have. Burros. Churros maybe. Churros. Burros and churros.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Burros and churros. Why is that not a restaurant? Maybe you have a senior frogs at the corner. Senior swankies, I was notified my mistake. Senior swankies, I was notified by my staff. Senior swankies, I've seen your swankies. It's not that beautiful. It's not that wonderful. Oh, Mal, you should the following statement
Starting point is 00:08:10 on the districts we have Thursday afternoon. I was notified by my staff an inappropriate social media post in one of our schools Facebook accounts, one of them. Your school should not have multiple Facebook accounts. No, you can't have a burner account. You can't keep control. Right? That's right, you don't want a burner account. You can't keep control. Right? That's right.
Starting point is 00:08:25 You don't want a burner. You don't want a account. You shouldn't have a burner account. One account means everyone's accountable. That should be at top of the office, right? Dan, let's make that sign. All right, so what was posted and the conduct of the staff involved
Starting point is 00:08:36 was inexcusable, not a representation of the school, its staff, or district as a whole. Today, this matter has been thoroughly investigated and those who have contributed. But is that, remember people getting fired because it was a representation? No, it was a, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:47 This isn't the way we. But you can't say we don't do this sort of thing. We have made great strides in Florence over the past several years and I believe that the best is yet to come. Thank you for your continued support of the staff of Florence One Schools. The Racial Justice Network also released,
Starting point is 00:09:03 did you guys know that there was that? No, they are, yeah. Released a statement regarding the post made Thursday. I have a three, don't you have a three picture deal with the R.J.N.? I do, we haven't been able to agree on a film yet, but yeah, it's coming. Which can be read in the attachment below. Racial Justice Network, they made a statement.
Starting point is 00:09:19 But don't you kind of wish we could see what other countries were? Right. To see like how did they, I think this was the only one. How did they do the Germany one? The group said the district has a habitual past of displaying discrimination, prejudices,
Starting point is 00:09:34 carelessness on professionalism and downright racism. So you need an out- But that isn't representative of them at all. Well yeah. Elder James Williams with the racial, is that, his first name is Elder? That's what I was gonna. Elder James. That's a red flag.
Starting point is 00:09:48 That is a red flag. With the racial justice network said there's lots, how many wives do you have Elder James? Yeah, must be a position within the RJN. I think Elder is his first name. So there were a lot of work time, effort, and thought putting in the display of some of his names. Is that Tiger Woods' first name?
Starting point is 00:10:00 Elder? That's Eldrick. Eldrick. The group said there was no regard for students and how some would feel what message they were sending to others, the racial justice network is questioning the motives behind the display. School is no place for racism and politics. This district, as you said Jay, has already shown
Starting point is 00:10:17 what they think of African Americans and now they've shown us what they think of Hispanics. This is unbelievable. Many of the Mexican Americans in the community have said they're satisfied with how the district handled it, so that's good. All right. But the question of the district allows for,
Starting point is 00:10:30 it doesn't allow for sensitivity training for its employees. So I'm gonna show you the pictures. And again, they just, they had border patrol. Border patrol. Border patrol. And the woman is kind of wearing what I consider a tiny sombrero, which I don't like.
Starting point is 00:10:46 It's like a Shetland sombrero. It's like a mini. Like the kind of sombrero. It's a sombrerito. I'll tell you what complicates that picture. Yes. And I think you know. It's always complicated.
Starting point is 00:10:57 If it's a mixed race. When there's a black, when there's somebody black who's doing the racism, because you're like, is it actually racism? And then, because they go, well, I know what racism is, and I know this is not racist, and I never could be racist. Here's another picture of just, it's all gals. Royal Cantina.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Royal Cantina. All ladies. Yeah, they're wearing sombreros. And a black guy. And one guy. You know, these are all people who. They're all colorful, this is like the type of sombreros you get
Starting point is 00:11:24 when you're at like an all-inclusive resort down Logically if I'm facing the wall and there's border patrol agents. I'm not in Mexico. No, you're on the other side You're in America in America. So that doesn't even work right that you would be this would be a southern No, the border patrols were on the other side of the wall. It's US border patrol. You know what also makes it bad? They're both wearing sunglasses and not smiling.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Like if they were smiling, I don't know if that makes it worse or better. And they made the shirts. They made the shirts. You're right, it is bad that they're not smiling. She made the shirts. She made. That's what I'm saying too.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Someone spitballed this. She did make the shirts. Someone was like, no, no, we have this. All right, Barbara, you can make the shirts. This is where we find out about the affair between them. Right. But Dan, you're right. We have those brick walls from when we did West Side Story.
Starting point is 00:12:15 We can use those. So here's the question. First of all, it's not a brick wall. So we've gone through. It's not the Great Wall of China. We know that about our wall. So the US Border Patrol is on the Mexicans, I will say this.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah, they do patrol over there. It's on the Mexican side. But they're not presenting it. Yeah, and so. How, is there a buffer zone? No, but like when people are coming back in the United States, there's US Border Patrol on the Mexican side
Starting point is 00:12:36 who are allowing people in. So that is, but there is the US Border Patrol patrolling on our side. Again, not the way you wanna represent Mexico. This conversation is proof enough as to why they should have never done this. Yeah, you guys. Because somebody should have been like,
Starting point is 00:12:50 I'm confused about what we're going for. And they're like, yeah, let's just. No, someone's like, it'll be funny. Let's just have a nacho stand. It'll be funny. Let's have a fuckin' nacho buffet, call it a night. Which one of the two of these people do you think said it would be funny?
Starting point is 00:13:02 We all know. She did. She made the shirt. She did. She probably was like, look, we'll get us some brera, we'll put guacamole in the top, we'll put chips around the outside. And they're like, stop. Stop. Stop doing that.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Just stop. Stop what you're doing. And she was like, all right, well can I make the border shirt? And they're like, just fine. Fine, let her make the border shirt. Stop. She's got border shirts from last year.
Starting point is 00:13:21 And so there you go. So that was it. It was just stupidity in a school. And there you go, that's story number one. Down the bubble. She made the shirts. She made there you go so that was it was just stupidity in a school and they got that story number one tell me the shirts she made the shirts and that was that thank you very much partitions uh... will be right back with more hey guys welcome back to the show we've just got some dates that we're gonna let you guys know we can catch him

Starting point is 00:16:54 Fraser Township, Michigan? Yeah. For the second time this week, emergency crews rescued two men, AKA idiots. I said that. That's right. That's what they're calling them now?
Starting point is 00:17:04 From the jellied waters of the Saginaw Bay after they plunged through the unstable ice, the same two men they rescued in the first incident. Did they, were they ice fishing? Yes, it's March and you're going out on the ice in March. You're tempting fate. Do you know, like, when I was a kid, when I was a little kid, and you'd be in the swimming pool
Starting point is 00:17:25 and they'd call adult swim. I always, so sad, they're doing laps, they start to put the ropes out and you're like, god damn it, and then you'd sit there, I would sit by the edge and I would wait. And I wanted to be the last, I wanted like six people to come up to me and tell me to leave. And I get a little tingling on the back of my neck
Starting point is 00:17:44 because I would just sit there. And it's like that thing. But I was tempting fate in that way. And that was a good way to do it. But this is like your life's on the line. This is not a cold plunge. The two anglers. This is a dumb idea.
Starting point is 00:17:56 We're, it's both actually. Can someone please like dispel how good a cold plunge is for you? Like I'm sure it's pretty good for you. Have you done it? I have. Yeah, I mean, for how long were you able to sit in it? Well, I had a New Year's party in New York City, and then I kept saying to everybody,
Starting point is 00:18:14 we're doing Polar Bear Club the next day, right? Which is in Coney Island, and it's January 1st. Oh my God. And I get a, everyone's like, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. Of course. I call around on the morning of the first. January 1 get a, everyone's like, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. Of course. I call around on the morning of the first. The first. No one's in.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And I rope in two people. That's impressive. Sorry, three people. Three people. So we drive down to Coney Island, park the car, get high as fruit baths. Sure. And step out into the freezing cold.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Now, you know, they say it's gonna happen at one o'clock. So we get there at about 1.03, you know? And it's going. Like people are like, ah! Going in. No, they're on the beach. The beach, right. It was a master of ceremonies with a whistle.
Starting point is 00:18:57 No. And he's like, we're going! So then people are pulling, like, there are 300 people there. Yeah. So we quickly, you're like, I thought, oh, I'll have a minute to think about it. You have no time. Strip down to bathing suit.
Starting point is 00:19:11 So there's new people there. Of course there are, this is their opportunity. You go into the ocean. Oh my God. First time it hits your leg, you're like, I'm gonna fucking die. Well, it's 12 degrees in the air. So the water feels warmer. Oh really? It is warmer. And you're like, well, it's not bad in the air, so the water feels warmer.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Oh really? It is warmer. And you're like, well, it's not bad. Is this a hot tub? And once you get used to the brutality of it, then you're just like, hey, I'm swimming around. And there was like a hot naked woman swimming right next to me.
Starting point is 00:19:38 But I was like, this is pretty good. And what happens is you're allowed. I can't wait to tell my wife. What? Three and a half minutes you can stay in. She didn't even know you were in New York for New Year. They tell you that? Yeah, they're like three and a half minutes.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Three and a half minutes. So you're in there and you're like, when, what minute are we on? Eventually your brain starts to slow and they blow the whistle and everybody's out of the water and there's 300 piles of clothes and my vision kind of went a little black and white. Of course!
Starting point is 00:20:08 Right? Of course. And so I'm now looking around for my clothes, thinking, oh my God, this is how I die. You have a towel? Do you have a towel? No, there's no towel! No towel! I mean, I have a towel there, if I find it.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Sure, yeah, yeah. And I'm coming out of the ocean, and I'm like, this is how I die. That's right, never throw it away, forget it. I finally find my pile. First of all, you're constantly thinking about thieves stealing your shit or whatever. I find my pile.
Starting point is 00:20:31 First thing I do is I put on these lace-up boots, socks and boots, and then I hold up my pants. I'm like, oh my God. I've made an enormous mistake. Because you can't pull a pant leg over a boot. This is how I die. This is how you die. I take them, I, put them back on,
Starting point is 00:20:45 and there are all these hot baths around there, Polish hot baths, we couldn't get into any of them because we didn't have a reservation. One of the girls we were with passes out and lays on the cement for 30 minutes. No! And you're just sort of shaking. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:20:59 That's how she does. That's how she does. So we finally get home, and I'm like, oh my God, I get in a hot tub, and I just warm my body, and I'm like, oh, it was so terrible. I get out, I sit on the couch, and I'm just shaking. Back in, I took six hot baths. And eventually the blood warmed it up.
Starting point is 00:21:16 And I'm like, I will never do that. Yeah, I love that you were rounding people up. Or never have an idea when you're drunk on New Year's Eve. That's right. This is it. Since then, I been cold bludgeon quite a bit. Ah! Yeah, I'm kind of into it. What are the positives of it?
Starting point is 00:21:30 Okay, what it does is it puts your body into a stress that it can manage. And when your body's in a stress, then it kind of creates these stem cells. Okay. It's sort of like what happens with intermittent fasting. If you put your body into like an 18 hour stress creates these stem cells. It's sort of like what happens with intermittent fasting. If you put your body into like an 18 hour stress
Starting point is 00:21:48 where it's like, am I gonna get fed? It creates these stem cells and that's why it's supposed to be good for you. Cold pledging. I read this book by Wim Hof and he's called The Iceman and he goes into like a whole box of ice. He can go in for like two hours
Starting point is 00:22:05 and he can raise his temperature. He did that on a whim. He did not do that. On a whim and a half. So two anglers were trying to retrieve items that they had to abandon during their first rescue when they needed to be rescued yet again. So they were out on the ice.
Starting point is 00:22:20 They had to be rescued. They left all their stuff out there and they thought, hey, it's only later in the year than it was a week ago, right? Let's go. Let's let's be Jack from lost and go back. Yeah, God, you know, they went in on their bellies, too They're like slide now being careful. Yeah, I Fishing used to be necessary to survive. Yeah, it is no longer No Alaska recreation people move out of their house for a year used to be necessary to survive, it is no longer. No, Alaska. As people move out of their house for a year.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Sorry, three months. It's just a chance to get away from your kids for two weeks. About 4.30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9th, Bay County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to Linwood Beach Marina in Fraser Township after being alerted to two men being in the water after their boat capsized. They didn't even make it onto the ice.
Starting point is 00:23:05 No. This was according to Sheriff Troy R. Cunningham. The two men were trying to retrieve equipment. They'd been forced to leave on the ice from their previous ice rescue. Here's something you never wanna hear when you're being rescued. Have the rescuers be like, you guys again?
Starting point is 00:23:21 You guys! Yeah. Leave them. Should be like, where? Grab the rope, idiot! Yeah. You guys. Yeah. Leave them like we're at the rope idiot. Yeah. You know what to do. That prior rescue occurred three days earlier on Sunday, March 6th and saw the two men identified as Jonathan Doty of Otisville and Nicholas Mullins of Mount Morris. Jonathan they had to leave behind when they
Starting point is 00:23:42 suppose when they were first rescued snowmobiles, fishing equipment, and off-pop-up camper due to a large crack in the ice, the sheriff said. The US Coast Guard rescued- So they drove all that shit out onto the ice. Well back when it was fine to do so. Right, but- And they fell through, it wasn't fine. And now there's a huge crack in the ice, so they're not going to be able to get back,
Starting point is 00:24:03 so they were rescued. But in order to get rescued, you couldn't take everything with you. You can see why they went back for it wasn't fun. So they're not gonna be able to get back, so they were rescued. But in order to get rescued, you couldn't take everything with you. You can see why they went back for the snowmobile. Oh yeah, the snowmobile. That's a fun activity. You don't wanna lose that. There was a...
Starting point is 00:24:13 They're like, if we get on this snowmobile, we can outrun the ice breaking. We can outrun it. We know we can get past it. There was a third person with the men on that date as well, about two miles offshore from Linman Marina. So this third guy was like, I'm not going back. Yeah. I'll meet you guys on the other side on the second attempt or first attempt to get their stuff a
Starting point is 00:24:31 second time back out there in three days. They took a 12 foot flat bottom boat across the water bottom boats. You make the rock and where I go. They took that boat out to cross the water out onto the ice flow when it capsized in rough water, which means they also had to assess like, I don't think it's going to get much more choppy than it is now. These guys don't know how to like assess. It's Michigan guys. It's called the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Did we learn flat? The whole point of a flat bottom boat was it's who it doesn't capsize. Right? Like wide enough. Wadham. It's like a tennis sneaker. Yeah, no it did They took that boat out there I capsized rough water one of the two men cell phones still worked and he managed to call 911 giving updates on their location in the worsening condition in the water He's like holding it up on the ice on the water. Oh god
Starting point is 00:25:24 Cuz they could take the boat on the ice. Right, but it flips over. At a certain point you're gonna get to the crack and then you need the boat to get across the crack to get your stuff. This feels like a true detective season. This feels like a riddle. They must have lost a bunch of stuff in the capsizing
Starting point is 00:25:40 so they gotta go back and get that. Get that now. They even made it to load up the boat. He's talking about the third time they go in April. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I gotta guess. The US scuba gear. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:25:50 The US Coast Guard also responded and deployed an airboat and a helicopter. The men were found about a mile and a half into the bay and were in the water for just over an hour. A mile and a half into the bay? They were rushed to the shore, placed in waiting ambulances, and taken to McLaren Bay region
Starting point is 00:26:09 for what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. That was March and they're still not warm. They're being kept overnight for observation. Both Dottie and Mullins had been wearing life jackets without the vest. Who knows if they would have survived, the sheriff said. Probably not. Dottie and Mullins.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Underneath the life jackets were their border patrol shirts. Yeah yeah. The boat the men had taken out had sank. The other property they had been trying to retrieve was not hauled in on Wednesday night. The men were not issued citations or charged with any offense. Something Cummingham said is not done to people who are rescued. The Coast Guard or Department of Natural Resources can issue fines to people who leave property on the ice after Advisories have been issued urging people to stay off it right so that went out there when they shouldn't have been with that stuff Disregard the advisory yes, you're gonna get fine coming at Cunningham Once again encourage people to stay off the ice as it becomes increasingly unstable with the seasons changing if abandoned equipment does not
Starting point is 00:27:02 Does need to be retrieved the best way to do so is to hire a professional salvage team. This is where this gets a little fun. Hire professionals, they can go retrieve it. He probably said, it's much safer, much safer. To that end, a GoFundMe campaign was launched shortly after the rescue to raise money for a salvage effort. How much money did they raise? Yes. As of 9 a.m. Thursday the writing the story the campaign had garnered $1,365 from 31 donors towards the goal of $3,000 that's pretty good. All funds go towards a salvage crew not to the guys So they've already said we're not giving these idiots any money. No, by the way, this is pretty
Starting point is 00:27:46 Like gives me hope for the community that people like we're not giving these idiots any money. No, by the way, this is pretty, like gives me hope for the community that people are like, we'll even save these idiots. Yeah, okay. I wouldn't have donated. I wouldn't have either. First off, how old, it just throw me two numbers, is Jonathan Doughty and Nicholas Mullins. Donny and Mullins is the new Resolio Niles.
Starting point is 00:28:03 You two be honest. Okay, keep the words right. Ask our brothers. I'm gonna go 20 and 21. Okay. 20 and 21, Jay, what do you think? Mullen's Don Donnie and Mullins is the new result As far brothers 21 okay, and 21 Jay, what do you think? 46 and 38 okay 61 67 Jonathan Donnie and Nick Mullins in the perspective order are 23 and 29 That's the kind of age where you're like, it's gonna be fun.
Starting point is 00:28:29 We'll go get it. I'm invincible. We'll go get it. Right. Okay, final thing, then we'll go to story three. So the goal for the GoFundMe was $3,000. I went and looked. Of course you looked.
Starting point is 00:28:39 How much money do you think the GoFundMe raised? Between that, so it was up to a thousand something 1365? Okay, can we go over? Yeah? 4265 okay, four thousand joy six five. Okay, I think I think they raised twenty seven hundred dollars Okay, two thousand four hundred dollars. They raised of the three thousand dollar goal before we go to story three and I hand this to Jason Sclar they raised 3022 bucks. Oh, right over it!
Starting point is 00:29:07 They stopped it. They were like, we're good, we got our money for the salvage. We don't wanna raise anymore. I hope they got their stuff. Don't go back out onto the ice. Don't go back out on the ice. They were screwed because you are gonna get in big trouble if you don't go get all that equipment.
Starting point is 00:29:18 How do you salvage the equipment without going into the ice yourself? A salvage team? Is that a Bee Gees song? Yeah, it is. How do you salvage a broken heart? Jay, what do we got? We got a story.
Starting point is 00:29:32 We got a Waffle House. OK. And everything that comes with it. OK. Sticky floors and fighting people. Yep. Here we go. Jay Chandrasekhar is with us.

Starting point is 00:32:57 Come on, give credit where credit is due. All right, this, it was probably Sheebie Carly. No, I don't know. I actually don't know. Here we go. Uh, Pensacola man accused of shooting man in buttocks chasing man with screwdriver at Waffle House. This feels like a typical night at the one. It also sounds like a deescalated. It started with shooting in the butt and then chase sort of a good thing for Waffle House. Like, Hey,
Starting point is 00:33:21 we're starting to deescalate. We wait from gun to screwdriver. Yeah, that's kind of smart. Call that a win. That's like serving fruit with waffles. What is it, smart people town? Yeah, come on, this might be a pathway for the Middle East. Okay, here we go. Deputies with the Escambia County Sheriff's Office arrested a Pensacola man who allegedly
Starting point is 00:33:41 shot a man in the buttocks and chased another man around at Waffle House with a screwdriver according to an arrest report. So, shot the rest of his ammunition into someone's butt. Yeah, that's what I thought too. He's like, I'm out of this. Click, click, click, what else do I have? He had the one bullet he had planned on using for himself.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I got one bullet and I got one screwdriver. Who wants it? Shoot a guy in the butt. I thought maybe that he shot the guy in the butt and everyone else is like, it's cool, he's out of bullets. And then he pulled that screwdriver. Oh yeah! No, we should have gotten rid of him.
Starting point is 00:34:10 What is that? Is that regular, flat? No, Phillips, get out of here! Part of me also wants it to be like an orange juice and vodka that he's chasing a man with. A screwdriver. Thank you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Okay, I'm not gonna tell you how old this guy is, but his name is phenomenal. Dequan Turrett, Dequan Therese. Okay. Dequan Therese. Jamarl, Jamarl. These aren't real. Dequan Therese Jamarl Lucky.
Starting point is 00:34:38 That's his whole name? That's his whole name? Yeah. Dequan Therese Jamarl Lucky. Giant Jumbalingam Chandra Sekhar. Right, that's the only name? Dequan, Therese, Jamaral, Lucky. Giant Jumbalingum Chandrasekhar. That's the only name that rivals it. Jamaral. Jamaral. Should we name him Carl or Jamar?
Starting point is 00:34:54 Nope, we can do both. Combine them. We can do both. Can we do both? There was a football player named La Mike, and I always thought that was cool. Yeah, La Mike. La Mike, La Mike. Here he is, Jamarro Lucky.
Starting point is 00:35:07 He's the opposite of Lucky at this one. Was the rest of us? Why I'm lucky. Yeah, right. On September 8th, he's accused of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, distribution of a Schedule I narcotic. And not finishing those hash browns. Wait, distribution of a Schedule I narcotic within a finishing those hash browns. Wait, distribution of a schedule narcotic
Starting point is 00:35:26 within a thousand feet of a school. Wait, what? A Waffle House should not be within a thousand feet of a school. That to me is just like, anytime you commit a crime at a Waffle House that's 900 feet from a school, you now have broken that law. Yeah, distribution of marijuana
Starting point is 00:35:40 within a thousand feet of a school. So this is a drug deal that went wrong, correct? I mean, that's what we're saying. They met at Waffle House and went wrong. Would you rather be shot in the butt or stabbed with a screwdriver? Shot in the butt. This sounds like the beginning
Starting point is 00:35:51 of your blue collar comedy tour. Would you rather be shot in the butt or getting by a screwdriver? At a Waffle House. You might be at a Waffle House. Okay. You might be at a Waffle House. I might be at a Waffle House. You might be at a Waffle House. I'd rather get stabbed by a screwdriver. That could be his new. I would take the shot in the butt.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Shot in the butt? Imagine a screwdriver coming in. Again, that is my favorite. If you've ever thrown hot coffee in a man's face who you just met. You might be at a Waffle House. If you've ever distributed a grade one narcotic within a thousand yards of a school.
Starting point is 00:36:28 If everyone sits facing the door, you might be at a Waffle House. If the chair ends up behind the counter, if you burn your groin with a grease fire, you might be at a Waffle House. If the hash browns are raw, if the hash browns contain hash, you might, okay. Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon,
Starting point is 00:36:54 he's already a convicted felon, and disorderly conduct on the premise of an establishment. Let's not go so far as to calling the Waffle House an establishment. I think that's a reach. It is a covering. A pillar. It's a restaurant though, the tables aren't nailed down,
Starting point is 00:37:09 are they? Are they nailed down at a Waffle House? They're nailed down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last time you've been to a Waffle House? Have you ever been? I question how confident you are about that. You just know this?
Starting point is 00:37:18 Stan's been to a Waffle House. My new hour, I have this whole story about me, the first time I went to a Waffle House and it was traumatizing and very hilarious. So just a regular Thursday at a walk. Yeah. It was like 1030 in the morning. We were about an hour and a half north of New Orleans. You should be clear. We walk in and the woman looked at us and goes to and we go yeah and she goes there and I'm like normally it's like see yourself or what do you got? Nope. They're there. I'm like, okay, normally it's like, see it yourself or what do you got? Nope, she's like, there.
Starting point is 00:37:47 And I was like, I think I have a new high school football coach. Stone Cold Steve. It was insane, it was insane. Tabitha Wolves, come be there in St. Louis on the 14th. Oh, I'll tell that story, 100%. According to the ESCO report, Lucky pulled out a gun and shot a man,
Starting point is 00:38:03 but the bullet hit the ground and ricocheted into a man's buttock. A different man's buttock. I felt like it might have been an accidental. Went to shoot a guy, shot the ground, and ricocheted up and off. That's not his fault exactly, right? I mean, because he's trying to waste one to scare him, goes into another guy's buttock.
Starting point is 00:38:21 He's wasting a pitch. Yeah. Okay, going in a way. Pulled out the jammy, aimed at the sky. That's the part he didn't get right. He yelled stick him up and then let two fly. Up there, but he let him fly. You don't go down,
Starting point is 00:38:31 because the ricochet factor. Also, we just talk about. Do you think he called bank? You gotta call glass? No, I mean let's talk about Waffle House flooring in terms of like the ability to ricochet. Yeah, because usually it's just dirt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:46 That's very true. After that, the man who had been shot. Two, there, in the dirt. After that, the man who had been shot allegedly ran into the Waffle House. Wait, so they're in the parking lot? Yeah, they're in the parking lot. Yeah, it's the parking lot of Waffle House.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Ran into the Waffle House and probably was like fourth in line. Sorry I'm late, sorry I'm late, sorry I'm late. Or fourth in line in terms of injury. Sure. He was like, we gotta deal with you after the guy who got knifed. It's like an acute medical care clinic, which caused patrons to start running
Starting point is 00:39:16 to the back of the business. Yeah, of course. Somebody's shooting a gun outside. Shooting a gun outside. The arrest report said one man tried to run out the front door to leave the area, which is when Lucky began chasing him outside the building with a screwdriver. Different guy.
Starting point is 00:39:30 You're not leaving. Wow. Different guy. He's like, I'm parked out here, do you mind if I? You're a witness. He's like a dragon that the town has to try to get around when they go to leave. I'm going to pay the bill, I'm going to run by the guy who's shooting people in the parking lot. Are you too drunk to know the riddle
Starting point is 00:39:46 so we can get back to our car? Do you not know how to solve the riddle? He doesn't, the guy out there doesn't even know the fucker. He changes the riddle. Answer me questions! Change the riddle every time we walk out there. When officers. Answer me these questions three or get a screwdriver. In the knee!
Starting point is 00:40:02 When officers arrived, they found multiple bags containing marijuana and MDMA. I mean, are we talking about trash bags, right? Party, yeah. Target bags, guys. Get your seared out. Trash bags Eugene Levy style from Club Paradise. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:16 We'll get out of here on this. How old is Dequan Therese Jamaral Lucky? Jamaral Lucky. 48. 48 years old. 48. 48? That was quick. The guy with the gun in the ground. Quick on the draw.
Starting point is 00:40:27 He's got a screwdriver for anyone who's engaged. I don't think young people carry screwdrivers. Yeah, if you've done enough of these drugs, you're fine early on. At 48, you start to make bad judgment. Right. Bad choices. Start to lose it.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I'm gonna go, it's a lifetime of abuse. Leads us to this. I'm gonna go 26. 23 year old Jamaral would not have done that. Okay. 26? Fair. Okay, I see you got 30.
Starting point is 00:40:48 I just undercut you. 34. 34. Yeah, old, because the screwdriver, I just feel like he's got this truck. Well, he's working, he also has a job. That's what I'm saying, I like that guess, but I'm gonna try to go to the other end.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Also, did he have the screwdriver in his pocket just in case anything went wrong? Not on his utility belt. Oh, he's wearing the belt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's doing a job, all right. This guy works hard. This guy does work hard.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Can we please give him some credit? Come on, he's got four names. He's gotta feed four names. He's got an extra L in his middle name. Jamaril. The extra L is not for lazy. No, it's for Jamaril. All right, so this guy, one of you,
Starting point is 00:41:23 I'm gonna do this. I don't know if we've ever done this before one of you is two years off. Okay, fine You guys have the option to go go years 30 six 24 46 46.
