You know what's wild is that sometimes when that shit, you know, it basically
freezes into like a brick
and sometimes like people have been hit by it.
They just drop it?
I don't know how they dispose of it normally, but I know that like people's
houses have been hit by shit bricks.
But they get a nice little payout, huh?
I would hope you get a good pay off if frozen shit from 250 passengers falls
from the sky and hits your fucking house.
You just have a neck brace, a frozen piece of shit from a Delta flight rocked
me, but I got the money I deserve.
How do they normally get rid of that stuff, Jamie?
I would imagine they pump it when they land or something.
I would imagine that's how they do it now.
Yeah.
But I do know that there's at least one story that I read about a house that
got hit with a rock of shit.
It might have been some irresponsible fucking cargo plane.
They like Dave Matthews did.
You remember that story when they dropped a bunch of shit like from the tour
bus and it landed on some people?
The Dave Matthews tour bus.
Really?
They got in trouble for that, yeah.
They dumped shit from their tour bus?
I don't think Dave Matthews green lit it, but whoever was riding them.
It was over the Chicago River, I think.
Oh!
They emptied the bilge tube and it just like-
I might have even gotten people that were in one of those boats that went
underneath it.
I'll double-
What an honor, though.
Dave Matthews shit drenching you.
Like if you're a huge fan, how cool.
Bro, I hope that guy got fired.
That's the crazy roadie that gets some pills.
He's like, "I ain't going to the fucking dump!
I can't get rid of that shit right here in the river, bro!"
There's a plaque there.
There you go.
So that's what happened.
It shows it.
"The afternoon of August 8, 2004, at this very location, the Dave Matthews Band
tour bus emptied the septic tank over the Chicago River."
Drenching passengers on a boat.
"Drenching passengers on a boat tour with 800 pounds of human poop. No one died
that day, but many wish they had."
There you go.
Wow!
That's so much poop.
The poop falling from the sky thing here is interesting.
But just that one that's real.
I've been on that boat tour.
Could you imagine you just open the pipe over the water on a bridge?
Well, just bad timing.
Tomping on people's?
What if those people weren't there?
Would they have gotten away with it?
Did he even check?
That's a good point.
How do you not know?
How do you not know?
There's not a boat filled with a tour of people.
What are the odds?
It's an architectural tour.
You're taking in all these wonderful buildings.
You get drenched with shit.
Yeah.
From the sky.
Do you think you feel better when you find out it's Dave Matthews though?
Because you just think it's rando shit.
Well, you think you're getting paid.
That's a good point.
How did that go down?
There had to be a lawsuit, right?
I thought I had something.
There you go, you can come to a concert.
He got 18 months of probation on 50 hours of community service.
Stephan Wold, bro.
$10,000.
$10,000 fine which was paid to the Friends of Chicago River.
That's nothing.
That's it.
I would do it again for that price.
They were not on the bus.
The bus which is reportedly being used by the band violinist Boyd Tinsley was
not occupied
at the time of the incident.
The Dave Matthews Band eventually agreed to pay $200,000 to settle a lawsuit
filed by State Attorney General Lisa Madigan.
"Wold never drove a bus for the band again."
I almost feel like we're watching a movie and it's like the end of the text.
It's like, "Wold never drove a bus again."
It's like, "Stand by me."
Uh-huh.
And then you see the credits after that.
Someone please do a biopic on this bus driver.
Bro, imagine if they didn't fire him.
Imagine they're like, "Hey, people make mistakes.
You got good pills though."
