been in the clear.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Police say they did it like police, So police are looking.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
For him, right, I get it, like it happens, but
they're like that they did it deliberately.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Oh so this is not just somebody like working out.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's what now working out? No, they were walking through
the garage. I don't like that term either.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Hasn't everybody walked through a parking garage and you jump
up and you either try to hit the sign, touch
the post. No, yes, yes, yeah, watch see they're just
down in the parking garage all right on the big screen.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Are they are they filming like a music video?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I don't know what they're doing because A, yeah, maybe
they are. I don't know. But the guy just jumps
up to do it.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
You can tell by the reaction of everybody they didn't
expect it to break. They run for their lives, and
it's not maybe to avoid trouble, it's because they're getting
they're freaked out.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Doust well, they are getting doused with water.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
If they thought it was gonna break, they wouldn't have
been standing there, which is why I don't think that
was the intent of the do It Again act.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
There's my guy.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
And is that the type of water that stinks? Wow?

Speaker 1 (03:21):

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I don't look at that and go like, and I'm
sure they're gonna get busted.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
When you hit the pipe with your car here, did
you get reprimanded at all?

Speaker 2 (03:34):

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Oh I mean you tell them that you had done
it or did you run away like these guys.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
No, I just part somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, but you talked about it. Oh, yes, pretty well
known that you.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
That I took it down. The building was fine. I
didn't have to pay for anything.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know if I hard, but no, nobody got
mad because it's an accident and this, yes, this is different.
I thought I would fit, I didn't, and I took
it out.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Well, he thought he would hang and didn't.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, exactly. So listen.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
So now the police like they've got still shots of them,
and the police want to talk to him.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Can't we just let it go?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
The one guy in the everybody everybody has done something stupid.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
The one guy in the blue shirt, not the blue jacket,
but the blue shirt reminds me of a fan at
the Raised Cubs game. Oh his pants go way down, Yeah,
that's what he starts running away.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah what.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Seriously, though, you've never done anything where you're like, uh, oh,
that's bad.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Not to this level. But I've told you before I
was thrown into a window with a friend who was
joking around.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah did you break the window?

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah? Yeah, okay, and we did go go back or
he went back because it was his fault and wrote
a check. But things happened. Yes, that was an honest mistake.
We weren't trying to I'm with you. These guys are
not trying to vandalize the infrastructure of this parking garage.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
No, they're just I mean, it turned out to be
very funny.

Speaker 6 (05:20):
Well you keep it, but you don't think they should
have to pay?

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Like, I'm not saying prosecute them, but don't you think
they should have to pay.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
For what?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
No, I mean I know what you're gonna say, the pipe.
But again, it's like they they were just being stupid
and not stupid like they're dumb, but they were just
they were just horse playing.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I mean, you may want them to contribute to
whatever you were give me one hundred. It's gonna im
more than that, I know.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
But so what am I gonna do? Bankrupt this kid?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
I know there's that too, because they look pretty young.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yes, I don't know how old they are, But when
are you going to bankrupt him? Because for fun I
was like, I'm gonna jump up and grab the No, but.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
It is Drew says, anytime there is something overhead, you
have to dunk on it.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
By the way, he's not wrong, he's not wrong. Your
kids don't do that jump up and try to touch everything.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
If they did, ideal to them immediately.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh my boys did that to everything. And he's right.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
They would try to not dunk, but they would definitely
when they were small, you would jump up.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
And see if you could touch stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
So like in this suite, not the studio of the
suite there it's an exposed ceiling. Right, you've tried to
touch stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
No, I'm also not a child, but the if it was,
if it was low enough, I would.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
I can't reach the ceiling in here.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Not in here, No, No, in the hall. Were there
parts that are a little bit lower.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I don't feel like it. I feel like they're still
too high.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
But even like when you're in school, like when you
were in high school, you would jump up and try
to reach the exit sign or smack the exit sign.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, but did you? I didn't. But did anyone ever
break it? And igency, we're in trouble.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Okay, I know where the door is.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
The I've been here four years the I would bet
I would bet one hundred bucks somebody jumped up the
high five the exit.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Sign and it broke.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, because it's cheap plastic.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yes, but that's what I mean. Nobody did anything wrong.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Well, it's I know I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
I haven't done anything like this except for when I
was thrown into that window. But as Sarah, they were.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
Just horse I really haven't.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
You never like pushed a friend, like playing around, pushed
a friend.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
And they put a hole in a wall. Oh, yes
they did.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
I know other people cause damage, but I think for
the most part.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Well, yeah, of course you ran.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Nobody's Saisin's like, oh look, I just put a hole
in the wall.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
I guess I'll wait until building management shows up.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Somebody here.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Would your former co worker, as an adult never accidentally
did something.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Sarah's former co worker, Yes, yeah, I can tell you
what he did at a bar appearance in Philly. He
Danny wouldn't care. He took a girl into the bathroom.
Gretchen would care. He took a girl into the bathroom
and she was she was a BigGAN and had sex boys.
He went to the manager's bathroom and he was like
he asked the manager, Hey, can I have Can I

(08:34):
have permission to use your bathroom? And the manager thought
Danny was gonna go either take a leak or a poop,
And so Danny took a big inn in there and
propped her up on the sink and broke the sink
off the wall.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Wow, yeah, I forgot about that.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
And then the manager called the radio station and the
radio state Brian was like, what do you want me
to do?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
So they wanted you to pay for it, Well, they.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Wanted Danny to pay for it. Danny didn't have two pennies.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
To his name, so what ended up happening?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
I don't think he ever did an appearance there.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Again, I did the say have to do a lot
to make good appearances.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I have no idea that part. I just remember Danny like,
knocked that sink off?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Well, he said the girl did well maybe this career.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
So that's inadverten. He didn't mean to break those.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
He should have paid for it, though he couldn't if
he didn't have money.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
Don't you think he should have paid for it?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well?

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Was she?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
What if he was a billionaire and he could have
just bought them a whole new building. I'm sure if
this kid was a billionaire, he fixed the pipe.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
But what would.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Like this group if if if he's not going to
pay and we're not gonna go after him.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
For why do we have to go after him? It
was somebody being silly.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well man, the video zooms in on his face like
he's wanted for murder.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Oh he is. Officials said. The incident happened just after midnight.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
According to investigators who they hire, well surveillance video shows
the individual trying to do a pull up on the
water line, which I don't know if that's true. He
just jumps and grabs onto it. But they're like, he
deliberately did it.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
No, he didn't.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
Definitely doesn't deliberate. But that doesn't mean you.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
I know, they hit somebody in their car and it's
an accident, okay, But.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
He didn't hit somebody with his car. He didn't run
somebody over.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
He touched the sign a pole peanut RVA sixty nine.
I still jump and touch all the signs in the
aisles of the grocery store thirty six.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Thank you, like oh the ones that hang down that
stay like it's like baking and stuff. Yeah, so if
one of those falls.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
He should get it and the police should be all
over look heavy.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I feel like they could hurt you.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Anyone with information is urged to call crime solvers. Oh,
come on, come on, what.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
If your car was underneath there and your car got damaged?
Would you change your mind Elliott.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
About the kid?

Speaker 2 (10:57):
No, because that's insurance, Like at that point you go
after George Mason and the the the parking garage people.
And by the way, you know what my argument would be,
there's no sign that says don't hang from the pipes.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, was there a sign in the bathroom the.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
No adult relations on this?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Think you no banging? Biggins? Hi Elliot in the morning.

Speaker 7 (11:25):
Good morning Elliott and class.

Speaker 8 (11:26):
How are you hey?

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm doing well. What can I do for you?

Speaker 7 (11:29):
So that young man, oh, who hasn't dumped and knocked
down a pilot, but he actually called and turned himself
into the campus security. And I believe it's the arrange.
It like he's he's gonna work and pay off some damages.
But he owned up. Man, he manned up.

Speaker 9 (11:44):
Not a lot of people would do that today.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
No, everybody would rhyme Mike, like you should wait, So
what did you say? What did you knock up? What
did you knock over?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Child? If we're gonna count ceiling tile, Oh my god,
everybody's everybody's destroyed a ceiling tile. Please jump and punch absolutely,
Kristen all right, very good, thank you, sir.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
So she's in on the tiles.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
Oh my, I'll never do that.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
What's up there?

Speaker 6 (12:17):
And then there's always space that falls down? And who
cares my lungs?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
No, stop it, you know what? Good on?

Speaker 2 (12:26):
That kid who called him was like, Hey, I was
just being a jackass?

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
And there's no law against being a jackass inside information,
you know, saying it?

Speaker 1 (12:36):
How does he know that? I don't know.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
I don't know how much he's paying off.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
The I hope it's not much a line for Hi,
Elliot in the morning.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, Hi, who's this?

Speaker 10 (12:51):
Matt and Baltimore?

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 8 (12:52):
Dude?

Speaker 10 (12:53):
Hey, So this reminds me of a storia And I'm
very old, but when I was in college, were having
a catch with lacrosse sticks in the lounge on the
fourth floor of the dorm and my buddy threw the
ball and it hit a sprinkler head it popped off,
and we stood there like ha ha. It just fell off,
and then about ten seconds later, like delayed.

Speaker 7 (13:17):
Reaction, a wall of water came out of the ceiling.

Speaker 10 (13:20):
And ultimately flooded the entire three floors below because the
fire department showed up and they couldn't find a shut
off valve. It's all a comedy of errors. But the
Lacrosse guys that were all there, we all just went up,
down and went out.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yes, it got away, hey the but did he did
own up?

Speaker 10 (13:43):
He did own up in the end.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Did he get trouble after he owned up?

Speaker 10 (13:47):
I can't remember. I mean there were grumblings like he
had to pay for the carpet for the whole dorm
and all like you. I think he ended up getting
off on that end, but a lot of people were
because it destroyed their computers and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
I understand. I totally understand that. But it's but that's
where you got to hit pause and go, we've all
done this, We've all done something stupid.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Listening now, My son in college threw clothes down the
trash chute to be funny and was charged with a felony.
No way for what I had to pay seven hundred
dollars for the items when the items definitely didn't total
that amount, but people took advantage of him. This was Radford.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
But what was the how was that? How was throwing
clothes down?

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Or did they did they say anyone else stole the
clothes and it's above a certain value, therefore it's a felony.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
I think she may have left that part out, but
that's that's that's ridiculous. But you could see that there
was the intent. Was there to be funny funny? Yes,
but they did take something, throw it down, something to do.
It wasn't like I'm just trying to pull up and

(15:08):
then the pipe snapped.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Right, Okay, but still that's not worth a felony charge.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
But I'd be like if someone said I'm going to
put something in the water supply.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
That's a felony charge. No, that's a felony charge. Hi
elliot in the morning.

Speaker 9 (15:25):
Hey, Yes, So when anytime in high school when it
would rain, we would have to go in for football
practice and practice in the gyms, and being the backup quarterback,
I got to be the placeholder and we actually kicked
one of the balls up and knocked the sprinkler head off.
The sprinkler system Luckily it was the old gym and
it hadn't been redone. But yeah, it ruined the entire floor.

(15:48):
They were less than thrilled with us.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
But that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Nobody was trying to do anything harmful or destructive.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
It just happened.

Speaker 9 (15:59):
And technically it was coach's instruction to hey, y'all go
to the old gym.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 9 (16:05):
Practice practice place kicking. Yeah, needless to say. And it
being the quote old gym, there was no cameras or
anything in there, so they questioned the crap out of
both of us, trying to figure out if we intentionally
did it or not.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Right, No, well, I mean the answers. I wasn't even there,
so I don't know. Very good, thank you, sir.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
It's kind of like what Donna says, our generation did
billions of dollars in damage twenty two thousand, but there
were no cameras when this is from Kate. So we
just moved out of our old house. My son's fingerprints
remained on these ceilings above every single doorway.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Oh now that's true. That's true.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Going downstairs in our old house, going down the stairs,
the walls were like I can't remember what they like,
eggshell white or something, except.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
For right in the middle. It was all dirty from
hands hitting it.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yes, I hate it.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
That's a good point. If it's above head, if it's overhead,
you're touching it.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
But I man, I get so on the kids about
boun touching the walls. It's like if you need to
put a shoe on, sit down, or even they were
leaning into the pantry with their hand yesterday on the side.
It's like, no balance yourself without the use of the doorframe.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Used the wall exactly, Kristen, exactly.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
My pantry doors look like an animal tried to break
in and eat it.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Hi Elliott in the morning. Hi, Yeah, Hi, who's this?

Speaker 11 (17:36):
Good morning? This is Rachel. How are y'all?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
I'm doing great? Thank you? What can I do for you?

Speaker 11 (17:41):
So, my brother when he was in high school, which
was ages ago, he used to hunt, and so he
got a whole bunch of deer urine that you would
use to like attract ascent. So he got a whole
bunch of cotton balls soaked in deer urine and then
he threw them up in the vent system of his
high school.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's not the same thing, Okay, that's not accidental. Funny, funny,
but not accidental. That's not accidental unless he was aiming
for something else.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
But got there. Can I go seven trying to get
the deer out of the event. Hi, elliot in.

Speaker 9 (18:18):
The morning, Hey, good morning.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
How are you doing good?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
What's going on? Dude?

Speaker 8 (18:23):
Well, first, before I tell you my story, if Tyler
never jumped and tried to touch the ceiling in sixth grade,
I don't know how he ever had a girlfriend, because,
as far as I needed, that's how you flirted with girls.
Showed that you can touch the ceiling. So in middle school,
we had the old fox that hung up on the wall,

(18:44):
the big you know hand paw and buddy of mine.
We would always run and try to slap him, not
knock him down, but you know, touch him, high five them,
and uh exactly. So well, one day we do it
and I lost my balance when I landed, and I
fell into the wall and I knocked the fire fingers
off the wall, and that damn thing exploded and sent

(19:04):
in white smoke everywhere. And uh, this is before cameras,
so we just ran away. But they figured it out
it was me because my skins down was like snow white,
