                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I remember you told me stories.
                                         
                                         Also,
                                         
                                         it's easier to find the dumbness with social media.
                                         
                                         And dumb seems to be prouder to come out of the shadows and reveal it.
                                         
                                         Well, you one time told me stories about a neighbor of yours, and I was just thinking to myself,
                                         
                                         Oh, my God, this woman sounds terrible.
                                         
    
                                         And now that behavior, which was outrageous, as you described described to me like maybe 10 years ago.
                                         
                                         Crazy pants and her smooth jazz.
                                         
                                         Crazy pants and her smooth jazz.
                                         
                                         It's my favorite band.
                                         
                                         That was his old neighbor.

                                         She also called me Michael, by the way.
                                         
                                         I lived next door for six years.
                                         
    
                                         She's like, hey, Mike.
                                         
                                         And you're like, it's Matt.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         No, actually, I intentionally didn't tell her my name.
                                         
                                         Because I wanted the whole thing was when the cops pulled her away, I wanted her to be like, Michael, save me.
                                         
                                         And I'd be like, my name's Matt.
                                         
                                         I don't know who you are.
                                         
                                         I don't know who you're talking about.
                                         
    
                                         Who's Michael?
                                         
                                         She's referring to a Michael that doesn't exist.
                                         
                                         That is a great foreshadowing.
                                         
                                         It was a long con.
                                         
                                         But to me, that person's behavior, which was admittedly nuts, is now everywhere.
                                         
                                         Yes, 100%. Which it nuts, is now everywhere. Yes, 100%. Which it was
                                         
                                         isolated and since now everywhere.
                                         
                                         We have our wonderful fans send us great
                                         
    
                                         dumb stories and then we haven't heard them,
                                         
                                         you haven't heard them, Dan's barely heard them
                                         
                                         and we're going to sit down and try to understand it.
                                         
                                         Let's break one down for a minute. You want to do that, Matt?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'd love to. Let's do it. Here we go.

                                         It's like Simpsons starter kit.
                                         
                                         Hey, it's Christina.

                                         She does a lot of characters.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         She can sing.
                                         
    
                                         There's actually a lot of progressive stuff in there that's good.
                                         
                                         Like, it's good.
                                         
                                         There's some subversive stuff in there, too.
                                         
                                         Hey, Christina.
                                         
                                         Not all the jokes are for the kids.
                                         
                                         So, I don't know.
                                         
                                         If you want to come over and watch that, that's pretty much what we're doing tonight.
                                         
                                         Some stuff goes over people's head.
                                         
    
                                         I mean, she was talking about, like, Chinese-American relations in one of the episodes.
                                         
                                         And it was an episode where they got a new dog.
                                         
                                         Did you see W. Camille Bell's new special on Netflix?
                                         
                                         Nope.
                                         
                                         He talks about there's some show.
                                         
                                         I don't remember what it is.

                                         Where, like, this little girl pretends to, like, be a doctor.
                                         
    
                                         She's a little African-American girl. And she, like, is the doctor for all of her stuffed animals oh doc mcstuffins yes
                                         
                                         because her and her mom is also a doctor and she's an african-american woman yeah and so he just
                                         
                                         talks about how his to his daughter it was amazing because as far as she's concerned every doctor
                                         
                                         right is an african-american woman she lives in a world where like that's what doctors are.
                                         
                                         So then they had to take her
                                         
                                         to the doctor
                                         
                                         and a white guy came walking in
                                         
                                         and his daughter was like,
                                         
    
                                         who the hell is this guy?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That is not what a doctor looks like.
                                         
                                         I've said this most.
                                         
                                         So we had a female doctor,
                                         
                                         a woman who was a doctor for the kids
                                         
                                         and my daughter asked me,
                                         
                                         can guys be doctors too?
                                         
    
                                         And I was like, no.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         All right. Hey, it. No. All right.
                                         
                                         Hey, it's Christina.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Here we go.
                                         
    
                                         Hey, it's Christina.
                                         
                                         Thanks, kiddo.
                                         
                                         Vancouver, Washington.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Two local business owners received an early morning call from law enforcement.
                                         
                                         That always has got to feel good, right?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Like a 4.30 a.m. call and it's police on the other end.
                                         
    
                                         Call it's police on the other end.
                                         
                                         Sunday, after a burglar broke into their escape room business and couldn't find his way out.
                                         
                                         That's amazing.
                                         
                                         This is why we do this. This is the best thing ever.
                                         
                                         Have you been to an escape room ever?
                                         
                                         I have not.
                                         
                                         I have not.
                                         
                                         I had my Georgia's 10th birthday last year.
                                         
    
                                         What was the thing?
                                         
                                         Excuse me, 9th birthday at, or no, the 10th birthday at an escape room.
                                         
                                         It was like a theater type thing, but I can tell you with kids, as we were like trying to figure out clues, we were trying to get, it was frustrating, but at the same time, it was super fun.
                                         
                                         I couldn't, because I was like, I don't know how this is going to be.
                                         
                                         She'll probably have fun, but.
                                         
                                         I've never done one.
                                         
                                         It was so much fun.
                                         
                                         I admit that trying to get out to do stand-up comedy at night from my house with my family is a Jones' escape room.
                                         
    
                                         I can't get out of here.
                                         
                                         Yeah, got to do all the tricks before I can leave.
                                         
                                         Yours wasn't a scary theme or like...
                                         
                                         There were ghosts and stuff and that was kind of scary.
                                         
                                         So it was kind of like haunted, but it wasn't like gory.
                                         
                                         It was like an old theater and that was kind of where the room was designed like that.
                                         
                                         And then we had to let the ghosts out because the ghosts were kind of stuck in purgatory.
                                         
                                         So they made it not like the ghost is haunting.
                                         
    
                                         It is haunting the theater, but the lights went out, and a light came in the front.
                                         
                                         How much time did you have?
                                         
                                         Here's what I loved about the escape room.
                                         
                                         They said you have an hour to solve it.
                                         
                                         If you don't solve it, you're done.
                                         
                                         And we had a bunch of 9- and 10-year-old girls, and they were working so hard, and they let us go for have an hour to solve it. If you don't solve it, you're done. We had a bunch of 9 and 10-year-old girls
                                         
                                         and they were working so hard and they
                                         
                                         let us go for an hour and 8 minutes
                                         
    
                                         and let us solve it. That feeling
                                         
                                         of opening the door and getting out of the
                                         
                                         room, it is a great feeling.
                                         
                                         You know how I'm a little claustrophobic?
                                         
                                         It's not claustrophobia.
                                         
                                         You're in a room.
                                         
                                         That's my thing, though, too.
                                         
                                         They are more extreme now. I feel like I'd be like, okay, I can't get it. Just open the door. They're in a room. It's just figuring out. Some are probably hard for them. That's my thing, though, too, because they are more extreme now.
                                         
    
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         So I feel like I'd be like, okay, I can't get it.
                                         
                                         Just open the door.
                                         
                                         And they're like, no.
                                         
                                         Fucking open it.
                                         
                                         You signed up for this.
                                         
                                         Me and that person would have a conversation.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you'd be banging on the glass.
                                         
    
                                         Well, there's a person there who works in the place who kind of.
                                         
                                         And the kids would.
                                         
                                         Guys, I already went in my head to where I'd be like, hey, this is drywall, and I will break it.
                                         
                                         So I'm stronger than your root.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         I'm asking you to just let me out.
                                         
                                         If you want to be cool about it, we'll see how cool I get.
                                         
                                         Dan is playing out the scenarios of him not being able to get out.
                                         
    
                                         Of them being hardcore on holding the wall.
                                         
                                         And I would say it in a way.
                                         
                                         Just knock down the drywall then, bro.
                                         
                                         Just knock it down.
                                         
                                         I'd say it in a way where one of them would be like, maybe that's solving it.
                                         
                                         I think the student really might break through the fucking wall.
                                         
                                         No, that's what they want you to do.
                                         
                                         That's the only way to solve this puzzle.
                                         
    
                                         You get it!
                                         
                                         They have another group coming in the hour after you.
                                         
                                         They have to keep it intact.
                                         
                                         I'd break through. I'd get on the other side.
                                         
                                         I'm dust. I'd say, oh, so it's your fucking escape room.
                                         
                                         You happy now? Fix your fucking wall.
                                         
                                         But don't you think there are those escape rooms?
                                         
                                         There must be those escape rooms that intentionally, like, they don't let you out.
                                         
    
                                         Or you have to, like...
                                         
                                         If there is one of those...
                                         
                                         Like, there is no answer.
                                         
                                         Like, there's no answer.
                                         
                                         Although, I bet from a business point of view, you have to have an emergency exit that opens easily.
                                         
                                         You can't put people in a room without an emergency exit.
                                         
                                         No, no.
                                         
                                         The door opens. It just... All right. You got to put people in a room without an emergency exit. No, no. The door opens.
                                         
    
                                         It just...
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         You got to figure it out.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         So Guy breaks in to escape room business.
                                         
                                         Can't escape.
                                         
                                         Just before 5 a.m. on Sunday, Rob Bertrand...
                                         
                                         Right?

                                         one floor

                                         lean in on it.
                                         
    
                                         It doesn't even matter if it's good.
                                         
                                         We're just doing it.
                                         
                                         Six days since I went in this room.
                                         
                                         Break the wall and you won't let me out.
                                         
                                         Yes, ma'am.
                                         
                                         Rob Bertrand received a voicemail from the Clark County Sheriff's Office.
                                         
                                         It looks...
                                         
                                         This is the entirety of what...
                                         
    
                                         If the cops call you pre-5 a.m.
                                         
                                         They should have all their facts. This is what they left. Also, the cops call you pre-5 a.m. They should have all their facts.
                                         
                                         This is what they left.
                                         
                                         Also, they should give you more than this.
                                         
                                         This is from the sheriff's office voicemail.
                                         
                                         It looks like you were burglarized last night.
                                         
                                         Give 911 a call.
                                         
                                         Oh, my God.
                                         
    
                                         Where?
                                         
                                         In my own house?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It looks like you were burglarized.
                                         
                                         That is so little information.
                                         
                                         I know.

                                         It's cryptic.
                                         
    
                                         Hey, Rob, it's about 5 a.m.

                                         What?
                                         
                                         Someone had broken into his Vancouver Washington escape room.
                                         
                                         Hey, Rob, you're not going to be happy.
                                         
    
                                         Call us back.
                                         
                                         Hey, Rob, a lot of blood down here.
                                         
                                         Give us a call.
                                         
                                         By the way, does the cop know at this point that the perp is inside the escape room?
                                         
                                         Stuck in the escape room.
                                         
                                         They didn't say anything.
                                         
                                         They did know at that point, though.
                                         
                                         Someone had broken into his Vancouver, Washington escape room, an interactive choose-your-adventure
                                         
    
                                         game where customers are locked inside and find clues that will lead them out or break
                                         
                                         through a wall.
                                         
                                         Quote, I ran upstairs, Bertrand Forty told the Washington Post.
                                         
                                         His wife, Tamara, was still asleep
                                         
                                         in the bedroom, so he's up. What's he doing
                                         
                                         downstairs? I don't know. Jerking off.
                                         
                                         Quote, he said, I said, Tamara, you've got
                                         
                                         to get up. Things are going down. We've got to get
                                         
    
                                         to work. So he's just as vague as the cops.
                                         
                                         Why is he bringing his wife there?
                                         
                                         He goes, you've got to
                                         
                                         get up. Things are going down. By the way,
                                         
                                         when was the last time? Which is very confusing.
                                         
                                         When was the last time you woke?
                                         
                                         You've got to get up. Things are going down. By the way, when was the last time? Which is very confusing. And also a great music lyric.
                                         
                                         You gotta get up,
                                         
    
                                         things are going down.
                                         
                                         You get sprained.
                                         
                                         No, so when was the last time you asked someone
                                         
                                         or like had them answer a question
                                         
                                         or given them information
                                         
                                         while they were kind of
                                         
                                         as you're waking them up?
                                         
                                         Oh, it's the worst.

                                         And then came downstairs
                                         
                                         and she was like,

                                         Within minutes, they arrived at Northwest Escape Room

                                         Could be more generic.

                                         Why is that in this article?
                                         
    
                                         I don't know

                                         The people who wrote this article gave way too much information
                                         
                                         The cops gave way too little information.
                                         
                                         We need a balance here.

                                         Two and a half months later, the couple bit the bullet.
                                         
                                         No pun intended.
                                         
                                         Meanwhile, is this? Why is bullet no pun intended meanwhile is this why
                                         
    
                                         is there no pun what are they pun intending what are they what would you what would be the intended
                                         
                                         that they actually took a bite out of a bullet right oh yeah but punning what i don't know maybe
                                         
                                         that's a thing in the escape room you have to bite a bullet is that a scene from a movie no no there
                                         
                                         is a thing like you he bit the bullet and he did it. Bite the bullet means that you just take your hit.
                                         
                                         I don't understand the pun.
                                         
                                         It's wrong.
                                         
                                         It's not what you should be doing.
                                         
                                         Like what they should be saying is they took the plunge.
                                         
    
                                         They jumped off the cliff into the unknown.
                                         
                                         I wonder if they said bit the bullet because the cops are involved.
                                         
                                         I have no clue.
                                         
                                         In October 2016, they opened their first room, the kill room.
                                         
                                         Blood splattered and designed to look like a serial killer's basement hideout.
                                         
                                         That's funny.
                                         
                                         Terrifying.
                                         
                                         That's why he's sleeping downstairs.
                                         
    
                                         He came up with that idea.
                                         
                                         Northwest Escape Experience has three themed rooms.
                                         
                                         You say he's sleeping downstairs.
                                         
                                         Matt's saying that they're having a lot of problems.
                                         
                                         I'm just, I mean, I'm speculating.
                                         
                                         He snores a lot.
                                         
                                         He's got sleep apnea.
                                         
                                         He's sleeping downstairs.

                                         No pun intended.
                                         
                                         Their final theme room called, quote, the FBI investigation, which I'm assuming is just currently of our time.
                                         
                                         It takes a really long time to go through.
                                         
                                         You have the evidence, but you can't talk about it.
                                         
    
                                         The president discredits you.
                                         
                                         Right, yeah, you just keep calling it fake and firing people.
                                         
                                         Oh, they say that is actually based on the 1971 skyjacking of Northwest Airlines Flight 305, the famous D.B. Cooper mystery. Which is that one.

                                         No pun intended.

                                         stepping into that room is actually pretty scary.
                                         
                                         I imagine he's talking about the COO.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it is.
                                         
                                         It says referring to the kill room.
                                         
                                         The room features
                                         
                                         an authentic steel autopsy table

                                         No shit.

                                         There's also a workbench

                                         Imagine the guy
                                         
                                         who broke into this place
                                         
                                         ends up in this room

                                         What did I do?
                                         
                                         What did I walk into?
                                         
    
                                         The spider is called a fly.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I was going to say, this is the modern.
                                         
                                         If you were to do.
                                         
                                         If you were to do.

                                         Right.
                                         
                                         If you were to update Pulp Fiction, which I believe it is now ready for an update.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         A reboot of some sort.
                                         
                                         It would be an escape room that they come into.
                                         
                                         Not like some crazy store.

                                         Ternus.
                                         
                                         Approached the couple and pointed at one of his police cars.
                                         
                                         Rob.
                                         
    
                                         Hey, Rob, turn us around and get us over here.
                                         
                                         Rob, quit chuckling.
                                         
                                         Let's go.
                                         
                                         Rob.
                                         
                                         I can't stop.
                                         
                                         You're always chuck chuckling, Rob.
                                         
                                         He remembered a man with cropped hair and slightly unkept goatee sitting in the backseat rambling incoherently.
                                         
                                         Ternus said the man broke into the business, got scared when he couldn't get out of one of the escape rooms, and called 911 on himself.
                                         
    
                                         That's one way to get out.
                                         
                                         I think that's a real dead body.
                                         
                                         Tamara. This is gonna happen
                                         
                                         to me if I stay here.
                                         
                                         Said the police told her that the intruder unsuccessfully
                                         
                                         attempted to enter through a back door
                                         
                                         using a metal pipe. He then allegedly
                                         
                                         broke a hole through a bathroom wall.
                                         
    
                                         I respect that. Climbed into
                                         
                                         an electrical closet and toppled over
                                         
                                         a set of lockers. He's just like falling
                                         
                                         through this place. It's like a Jerry Lewis movie.
                                         
                                         Live and

                                         love. This was my favorite part. Flamin'
                                         
                                         flamin'. Based on an audio recording,
                                         
    
                                         which means they only know what I'm about
                                         
                                         to tell you if he's saying it out
                                         
                                         loud, because it's only audio.
                                         
                                         Based on an audio recording taken from

                                         snatched a non-working phone, a television remote, and a can of beer from the fridge and wandered into the creepy unlit room.
                                         
                                         Sheriff Ternus, or Deputy Sheriff Ternus, also says he was carrying a burrito.
                                         
                                         So this is what he has on his person going into the escape room.
                                         
    
                                         Okay, I've got a soda.
                                         
                                         I've got a TV that may or may not work, I've got a can of beer,
                                         
                                         I've got a burrito. A TV remote,
                                         
                                         a burrito, and a non-working phone.
                                         
                                         What
                                         
                                         role-playing game is this?
                                         
                                         What scavenger hunt is he creating?
                                         
                                         Exactly, and audio recording, which
                                         
    
                                         means, was he like, got my burrito,
                                         
                                         got a remote. Like, is he listing
                                         
                                         what he has walking into this room?
                                         
                                         Two burritos.
                                         
                                         He was singing it?
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Although the kill room is equipped with a panic door that is always unlocked, I respect
                                         
                                         that business model, it appeared the burglar freaked out before using it.
                                         
    
                                         According to the caller ID system, how many times do you think he called 911 on himself?
                                         
                                         This is great.
                                         
                                         Matt Price, you are our guest.
                                         
                                         You can go first, Tigger third. What slot do you
                                         
                                         want to go in? Tigger's between us.
                                         
                                         I'll go second.
                                         
                                         Okay, you're going to go Tigger. Jason or Randy?
                                         
                                         He called it four times on himself.
                                         
    
                                         Four times from Jason. I think he called it
                                         
                                         six times on himself. Six times from Randy.
                                         
                                         Why would you jump on Matt's player?
                                         
                                         That's okay. I do think
                                         
                                         he panicked. I'm going to say, because if he was claustrophobic, and who knows how long he's been there, I'm
                                         
                                         going to say he called it 10 times.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         10 times.
                                         
    
                                         I'm sorry, Matt.
                                         
                                         I'm going to say six.
                                         
                                         That's not true.
                                         
                                         It was my fault.
                                         
                                         I steered to you.
                                         
                                         I screwed it.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
    
                                         So, Jason Sklar says four.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Matt Price says 10.
                                         
                                         And Randy says six.
                                         
                                         Yep.
                                         
                                         I'm going to tell you right now.
                                         
                                         One of you is exactly right.
                                         
                                         Oh!

                                         Matt, do you want to go first, second, or third?
                                         
                                         I'm going to go first.

                                         And who you think
                                         
                                         is right.
                                         
    
                                         Is exactly right.
                                         
                                         My hope is that someday
                                         
                                         someone keeps record
                                         
                                         of all these scores.
                                         
                                         By the way,
                                         
                                         and by the way, Jay, or Dan, by the way, they know I'm Jason. all these scores. By the way, Dan, they know it can only be one of three things.
                                         
                                         So they're guessing from three choices.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
    
                                         That's it.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         This man.
                                         
                                         I believe his name is Ty Wardlaw.
                                         
                                         Oh, wow.
                                         
                                         No, Rye Wardlaw.
                                         
                                         Rye?
                                         
                                         Wardlaw.
                                         
    
                                         It's like the Rye Cooter of stupidity.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         R-H-Y-E?
                                         
                                         It's the R-Y.
                                         
                                         The Rye method of parenting.
                                         
                                         Rye Wardlaw.
                                         
                                         Rye the band.
                                         
                                         Used a metal pipe to break into a wall, then broke through a bathroom wall, then knocked
                                         
    
                                         over a whole bunch of lockers, then grabbed a beer, a remote, a non-working cell phone,
                                         
                                         and already had a burrito before getting stuck
                                         
                                         in the killing room.
                                         
                                         Called 911. Get it in,

                                         Four times.
                                         
                                         Yes!
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
    
                                         By the way, still a lot.
                                         
                                         A lot of times.
                                         
                                         Too many times.
                                         
                                         The sheriff said that
                                         
                                         Ry Wardlaw
                                         
                                         was, I hope his brother's
                                         
                                         name is Bourbon,
                                         
                                         was on the premises when deputies arrived.
                                         
    
                                         He was taken into custody and confessed to
                                         
                                         the crime. Wardlaw has been charged with
                                         
                                         second-degree burglary and is scheduled to appear in court
                                         
                                         on July 20th. Dummy.
                                         
                                         The Bertrands quickly realized that
                                         
                                         the damage to their business, what they estimated was
                                         
                                         around $1,500, wasn't terrible.
                                         
                                         They both agreed their Sunday morning was pretty jovial.
                                         
    
                                         I say this is a windfall for them.
                                         
                                         You've got to promote the fall, yeah.
                                         
                                         Burglars can't even break out.
                                         
                                         Because this whole thing was basically an advertisement for that escape room.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         They caught the dude immediately because he couldn't escape.
                                         
                                         This isn't even local.
                                         
                                         This is literally the Washington Post article.
                                         
    
                                         They've got national.
                                         
                                         Okay, so here's my question.
                                         
                                         Do you think, Ry, if you call one of the rooms the Ry Wardlaw room?
                                         
                                         Or you break in, you give the guy a burrito and a beer.
                                         
                                         That's the new idea for a second.
                                         
                                         Did they hire him to break in?
                                         
                                         Okay, seriously.
                                         
                                         How expensive would it have been to put an ad in the local newspaper?
                                         
    
                                         Or the Washington Post.
                                         
                                         You never see escape room ads on TV.
                                         
                                         So how crazy
                                         
                                         would it have been
                                         
                                         if they were like
                                         
                                         for $1,500
                                         
                                         and we'll probably get
                                         
                                         someone else to pay for it.
                                         
    
                                         We'll take care of
                                         
                                         Rye's legal fees.
                                         
                                         Yeah, is this maybe
                                         
                                         smart people town?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Who's being smart?
                                         
                                         We'll get out
                                         
                                         on one final thing.
                                         
    
                                         Here we go.
                                         
                                         How old do you believe
                                         
                                         Rye Ward law is?
