This is FCB Radio. We're realclug Clifts. Visit us online at FCB
radio dot com. I'll spell itfight d U M M period stupid.
The reason that bad things happened toyou, it is because you're a dumba.

(00:22):
Okay, so this is not fromFlorida. This we have. We
have some of our own idiots locally. They're not all in Akron. We
got something Cleveland too. Um So, anybody here about this fire in Newberg
Heights that torch the way that torchedseveral homes. Okay, uh, Newberg

(00:42):
Heights is a suburb of Cleveland,fildas of you listening outside of Cleveland.
Uh so there's a Newberg Heights homeownerwho started a fire. Uh it eventually
towards several homes. Um. Itwas on Monday, any Monday afternoon,
and and firefighters and police evacuated thehouses on either side of the two houses

(01:03):
on Pierce Avenue that had caught fire, as well as as well as the
houses on either side of the thirdhouse that caught on fire on McGregor Avenue
behind the two on Pierce. Andthis was a pretty good fire. On
money, firefighters said they had apretty good idea of what started it.
This idiot was using a blowtorch toget rid of weeds. That seems like

(01:32):
a really inefficient way you garden.It just burned. He was getting rid
of with a blowtorch and he endedup setting this car and truck on fire,
and they started the house fires.He owned a couple of these houses.
Um, and this was an understatementof the year. It does appear
to be some sort of act ofnegligence at this point. So we'll be

(01:53):
launch launching a criminal investigation to thatto decide whether criminal charges will be a
print. So this guy was usinga blowtorch to get rid of weeds and
he accidentally caught fired his truck.He almost burned a damn neighborhood. Do

(02:19):
you have a picture of this guy? Goober? Oh my god, unbelievable.
Who I've never heard of that.I've never heard of anybody using a
blow a blowtorch. No, that'sgot to be the first of all time.
What happened to a weed whacker oror or stop a screen blade?
Why the hell did he think thiswas a good idea? Like what got

(02:43):
in his mind to be like,hey, you know what I'm gonna do?
He used a blue tee abutane blowtorch. Oh, I see, this
is what's scared when you live nextto people like this. Yeah, because
we all were we all know whereNewburg Heights is, Like, it's not
like it's some far off Yeah,and he could have burned down the whole
neighborhood. And you live next tothis goober, and it's unbelievable. I

(03:07):
would have been about those firefighters,was like, dude, what what in
the hell you talk? He mustbe from the country somewhere. Astley said,
that was a really inefficient one.Yeah, just burn everything. Yeah,
I mean it's crazy. So theydon't have his name here, which
I am searching for his name,Like, wouldn't you burn everything if you're

(03:28):
trying to get rid of weeds,which is exactly what he did. He
burned like three houses and didn't botherto move his truck out of the way.
I mean, it's a lot ofdamage. I look at this picture
because I heard that the truck,because because I had heard that the truck
had started got on fire and that'swhat set fire to the houses. So
so the idiot burn was trying toburn weeds with with a blowthwors. It

(03:49):
didn't even move his damn truck.They have to, they have to file
criminal charges against this man. Andit's like it would be to charge stupidity,
no neglige, criminal neglige, negligand pretty much like they could charge
him with arson, even arson.I would think he supplies intenties intent,
but he he did something so dumband burned down several houses. I mean,

(04:13):
that's I hope he had insurance.Wow, because what if he doesn't
have insurance? Boy, but thenhe burned down your own house? If
you burn down your own house,do you get the insurance? Well?
Yeah, well doesn't the insurance coverthe other houses that he burnt? Uh?
Yeah, their houses? Yeah?Unless he owned the house, right,
and they they can sue him too, Yeah, and they should aggravated

(04:33):
stupidity. Yeah, they're gonna suethis guy. I would because it's like
a California story, but it's not. It would be a Florida exactly.
I wouldn't want to live next tothis man if he's not bright, clearly
not bright? What the hell washe thinking? No? I mean,

(04:54):
and I'm sure that wasn't the firsttime weeds blowtorch. It runs you of
the guy who like the bank wasgonna foreclothes on his house, so he
bulldozed it. Yeah, and youlike looked into everything, like legally if
he could get away with it sothat you won't foreclothes on me. Wow,

(05:16):
this guy, what do you say? People are not well? They're
not well. So whoever this manis, who's yet to be named,
you are the big Dummy of theweek. Congratulations. Yeah, yeah,
that would that would probably be topfive this year. Yeah, I think
so. Yeah, he still doesn't, he still doesn't take over Self Made
cans self mccash is a front runner, he's said Joe Biden of the Dummies,

(05:41):
He's a front runner by a longYeah. Yeah, we should do
that. We should we should havea show over you Big Dummies and and
actually do a ranking from ten toone, top ten you Big Dummy episodes,
right, Yeah, and I think, yeah, we should do that.
I actually think like in my topin my top three, the of
course self Made Cash is number one, but number two would be the woman

(06:02):
who was in jail for rob forstealing a car and then her boyfriend came
to get her in the stolen car. Yeah. Yeah, I was having
discussions with these people last night aboutthis kind of stuff. You can't fix
this? What comedians said? Thatwas it? Jeff Foxworthy said, you
can't fix stupids. It was oneof those comedians. Yeah, I said

(06:24):
you can't. What can you dowhen you have people who just don't operate
with a full deck? You know, you do something wrong, but then
you go and do something wrong ontop of it and without even thinking,
Okay, I shouldn't do this well, And don't you ever wonder like I
want to ask some of these people, like what were you thinking? Like

(06:44):
I'm I'm fascinated to find out whatwas your thought process at the time?
What made you think it was okayto try to get rid of weeds with
a blowtorch? Like what where didyou learn that? You know? Like
did you my grandfather taught men?You know, It's like, dude,
and there's a lot of people whodo things and like and this is a

(07:04):
true story because I saw this onTV five News about fifteen years ago or
so. It was in the middleof the winter and this person's fuel line
had frozen, so they had putgas and a gas can and put the
gas on the stove to try toheat up the gas and it blew the

(07:24):
house up. I will never forgetthat story. I watched it on Channel
five News and you should have sawthe newscaster's face when she read it.
She just like, they put thegas on the stove and the house blew
up. Oh, I'm gonna justheat this gas up and then I'm gonna
put it in my tank. Imean, this is frightening. This is
very, very frightening stuff. Thesehave to well I shouldn't have to be,

(07:49):
but I hope that they're not publicschool. You know, It's it's
stunny to me. You think youcan heat up gas on a stove like
it's water, and I mean,it's just stunning. And this is what
you can't fix. There are peopleout there who really don't have anything upstairs
between the ears. They don't.This is true, and you have to

(08:11):
make these people have to be employed. They have to function, and they
can't function. Yeah, they're they'remembers of society, I know, and
we don't have anything. We can'tdo anything with them. I mean,
it's really amazing. The FCB RadioNetwork first class broadcasting worldwide
