0:00 I got real bad I was at my friend's house we call I called 9-1-1 and then uh I hung up and I was scared and maybe he lived in like a good neighborhood or something but then the firefighters showed up and like and like someone died now we went to make sure everything's okay and the parents like who called 9-1-1 yeah and then like anybody calls I know I didn't call [Music] yeah a Michigan boy who is six years old spends one thousand dollars on GrubHub and reportedly the doorbell just kept on ringing and cars just kept on coming six years old he is he's from Michigan he just kept ordering what did he order like 50 idiots 50 pizzas or something he

0:51 was like racking it up how unsupervised is this kid so he got he got his dad's GrubHub account and he just starts going ████ he must have been hungry huh yeah he's like having The Rock's cheat meal and ████ so The Rock's team heels are crazy though so they left they left I want a hot dog cookie there's a dad who's home alone with his son right his name is the kid's name is Mason and his wife is away at the movies with some friends pretty sure that Dad did for sure dad's got his headphones on he's ████ playing Ragnarok and ████ it's a good game I can understand why the kid was ████ alone for hours with surround sound and then this kid's ordering five large orders of jumbo shrimp salads Shawarma and chicken Pita

1:41 sandwiches chili cheese fries ice cream grape leaves rice and that was just that's ████ like Middle Eastern crazy I I wasn't expecting all those kinds of fun and that was just the first it was like wiener schnitzel ████ Lebanese restaurant surprise you got some salad yeah as a six-year-old with some jumbo shrimp yeah so this was ordering a feast isn't it Boiling Crab he says he let his kid use his cell phone to play a mobile game for about half an hour before bed and then he never thought that he'd be like in GrubHub just like ████ adding to cart he's like oh that looks good that looks good this dad was never a kid no for sure I love this GrubHub game

2:32 tacos burritos I mean grape leaves how does he even know what that is that's like a side order too so um the dad says that he's six years old so you kind of can't even be mad at him because it doesn't really register yeah what the ████ is taika 6 yet no no five but do you think he'd understand that he'd be ordering GrubHub if he was picked like if those things showed up at the house oh he would like if I gave him a food app yeah he'd probably know how to go oh for sure donuts for sure ice cream cookies but do you think he would know that clicking that brings it to the door yeah yeah he knows for sure because like Wiki sees mom and dad do it so like we'll be like talking about something like oh can we have like red velvet pancakes I'm like whatever what are you talking about like just order it

3:23 just order it so [Laughter] um they they had to they were trying to explain to him like we took money out of his piggy bank to pay for this bag of food and that's how they kind of like registered it to him how much does he have in his piggy bank exactly not a grand unless he's rolling dude his kids are dead already yeah he's loaded this kid um there's so much food that have been ordered from so many different places the Chase Bank actually sent them a fraud alert declining a 439 order a dollar order from Happy's Pizza however the 183 order of jumbo shrimp from the same restaurant did go through so he's ordering different shift different orders at the same restaurant

4:13 oh ████ at the same time that's why Chase is good dude oh he's like dude I got to get past this fraud God man damn it took a few orders did they're like Thor just had a ████ massive pyramid of bags so it took a couple orders and the dad starts to realize what the ████ going on he said he said and then he said after he realized what's going on there was just nothing he could do to stop all the food from coming like it just kept on yeah right doorbell doorbell doorbell car car car doorbell doorbell God he just doesn't know when it's gonna end so he just has to pack all this food away yeah he's thinking it could go for days I got this ████ jumbo shrimp in the house man he's like you know taking old peas out of the freezer and ████ like trying to figure out how to make room I

5:03 think you can't subscribe to food exactly yeah dude you know signing up for freshly yeah well at least hopefully a lot of it is stuff like pizza you know what I mean yeah but then he had a full ████ six tier wedding cake show up and then a wedding cake yeah dude walking up marching a wedding cake through the front door four piano movers and then a girl pops out in the order of the strippers yeah there's a stripper inside she was funny giant wheels of cheese they said right that read the story if this was around when we were kids we would have probably done this dumb ████ too man oh yeah dude this is just the new version of like oh my kid bought ten thousand dollars worth of fortnite well you know how you could you could order back in the day you just would call a pizza place yeah and they'll just come yeah yeah and you have those coupons yeah you know you get two

5:55 large pizzas and free breakfast that you'd be there they would just trust that you have the cash I remember yeah my parents would give me like 10 bucks or whatever and then they're just like we're gonna go out so order your own dinner and then I would call you you could either have Chinese or Pizza Hut it's just crazy that there's no way they can guarantee that it's a real call that's how we built our independence Maybe by being home alone yeah I would like a media pizza with pepperoni and then like it's like a child like ████ Colin dude I remember calling 9-1-1 because I saw a commercial for a Batman toy and I was like oh ████ I need that Batman but pretty bad and so I called 9-1-1 I was like hello I would like to talk to my dad because if you just hang out there for a while they say please hang up and down the operator I was like the operators I think that's 9-1-1 and then I asked for my dad all right like

6:45 if you leave the phone on the tile the dial tone and then and then my dad picked up I ████ up real bad I was at my friend's house we call I called 9-1-1 and then uh I hung up and I was scared and maybe he lived in like a good neighborhood or something but then the firefighter showed up and like and like someone died now I want you to make sure everything's okay and the parents like who called 9-1-1 yeah and then they're like did anybody calls I know I didn't call that's protocol though if there if someone calls 9-1-1 and then they pick up and you hang up yeah they always send someone yeah they usually call back right away and then oh and then they all send someone right after you think they still do that to this day no I don't know I don't know because it's on your cell phone right if you pick up and hang or you call and hang up they'll come if you report a crime they won't come that's very true especially in East L.A

7:38 um so as Bart was showing us this morning yes uh so this guy um he's he's telling he's like still lecturing his kid about this ████ and like in the middle of lecturing his kid he's just like Hey Dad did the pepperoni pizzas come yet in the middle of it in the middle of explaining what the ████ ing could never tell him he's just freestyle and he no he had to walk out of the room he didn't no dude I'm sure it's written on there dude check Ryan it says that right I don't want to know it's right there February pizza's come yet [Laughter] um so he just said there's nothing I could do eventually I just sort of like laid down and went into a like huddled up into a ball because I could all I could do is see the orders keep being delivered in my bank account being

8:28 drained so he's just like how much is a grand worth of ordered like food I wonder how many like depends on what restaurant yeah I mean a grand like from Happy Pizza yeah dude have you seen that there were dudes that figured out during covid but there was a glitch that wasn't taking money out of your bank account when you're ordering food no yeah they figured it out on postmate and so they just kept ordering and then like a year and a half later it caught up and they got the bill oh my God 100 000 or whatever tens of thousands of dollars dude you can't forget that's ████ sick yeah it was a cool ass like like I guess there's some processing thing happened and then it flagged later he says it looked like it was about to be over by around 2 A.M that's when most of the restaurants in this area were closed however why that people are staying late for this guy by that time

9:18 there was an order that came from Buca di Beppo that he could only describe as a sink zinc amount of spaghetti and marinara sauce and you got to throw that out I mean that's just a sink amount you gotta invite the whole neighborhood over at that point dude if you get spaghetti meatballs at Buca you gotta throw that out he called it an industrial kitchen sink amount of spaghetti and marinara I don't like ordering food like most it just doesn't taste good it doesn't taste we eat ordered food here all the time because we have to yeah at the same time I get it but I'm just saying I don't order I'm with him though I order you order steak and eggs I do order at a convenience though out of convenience but eating at the restaurant is way better times better well obviously

10:09 yeah but a lot of people prefer ordering because they don't like going out so that's like yeah if I can I always go out too and I don't want to clean up even if it's ordering you have to clean up and throw it away you know something they have the time to go out and they'll order it guys this is an insane tape do you want me to edit this out you know what's crazy nobody's gonna agree with it sometimes food is better hot less than a handful of things that are okay when you deliver like what pizza Barely There Here We Go Again JK group mine yeah okay barely only Pizza Hut in the heat wave that's what I'm saying okay that's good I agree with that it's It's gotta be it's gotta be that but most Pizza you could reheat and it's

11:00 still solid like hey you know what though you can't get the fries no unless you got an air fryer air fryer air fryer change the game dude but then you might start cooking exactly if you're gonna heat up the oven not the same though it's not the same it's not the same what about sushi hell no you crazy throw that in the air fryer if you get that too goes fine okay any stews I think it's fine you gotta you gotta heat it you gotta heat up the pan is it isn't Sushi to go against your culture though it actually is the beginning of the culture and how we got to feudal [Music]
