0:00 yeah but these guys are just researching like what shampoo photosynthesis for solar panels all right conditioner shampoo what a guess [Music] so a janitor kept hearing this noise right he's working at this um at this like lab at the Polytech Institute in New York and he's like what is this ████ noise it's beeping and beeping the beeping and beeping and so he finally finds this like it's like a big huge fridge and he's like oh well I'll just turn it off oh there it is got the beep good in doing that he destroyed over a million

0:50 dollars worth of research oh ████ whoa what was in the fridge ████ like mice DNA and ████ dude cell cultures samples and experiments supposed to be kept at minus 112 degrees Fahrenheit I thought you did it because he was like pissed yeah no he just heard this beep and he's like that's so ████ annoying trying to do my ████ he's like trying to listen to Joe Rogan Charlottesville RFK yeah you're trying to listen to RFK and Joe Rogan talk vaccine stuff and his voice is all kind of like yeah it's really hard yeah we did something similar like that I was shooting a sketch with my with our friend at a sushi restaurant and the ████ fridge kept making noise so he unplugged the fridge for I think like four hours I don't know how the fish was after but it was in North Hollywood yeah it was a sushi restaurant a restaurant that you guys were just like patrons of no no we

1:41 we uh we we shot on a day we were shooting yeah yeah yeah so we blocked it we blocked it for four hours they just wrecked their whole like thing did you see anything on the news about it after like like three people died it wasn't my shoe I was just there just the ████ rancid fish meat I was just there just to ████ say some random lines it was the Ahi Tuna I mean in North Hollywood fishing North Hall I heard that happens a lot with servers with like janitors and servers you know like the uh the computer server you're not supposed to just like yank it out oh yeah oh you just pull the data out it'll be like vacuuming and then they'll be turning oh that someone left that thing on it's like and then all of it's just ████ is that what happens at Spectrum ████ bro I ████ think so the same old lady that ████ Consuela from Family Guy yeah and it happens all day electricity dude yeah I do hey you know what's not

2:32 in Vegas Spectrum well it's out there then I hate them really there's only like one out there too right like one main one out there anything is better than ████ anything I like ████ though so yeah he um he destroyed all this research right um take a million dollars to replicate the samples oh my God part of research into photosynthesis to further development of solar panels was he like trying to save money for the building like you guys have an AC too cold I wish we know enough about photosynthesis right come on he just said that um it was it was annoying the the alarm was annoying um they had a mechanical malfunction with the fridge so it was giving uh like an alarm Target code right to say what's going on with it and he was just like this is a ████ I don't even want to

3:22 deal with this ████ and also the the funniest thing is there was no cleaning required in the area so he was just like really annoyed by the people from far away and he had no business even to be there wow okay yep so he lost his job he lost his job did he lose his life too been terminated they said terminated maybe they killed him yeah yeah yeah he's dead if he worked for Bill Gates or some ████ I feel like he's dead oh yeah this sounds like uh those are Bill Gates's bile ████ mosquitoes yeah this sounds like the beginning of like a a campy horror comedy where the scientist comes back and he's like what did you do and he's like turn it off and he goes where am I going to get cells now yeah yeah exactly right well I suppose there's only one place for me to get cells now uh yeah apparently uh there's a lawsuit

4:13 now because of this what are they gonna take from that guy he's got nothing I mean just Lysol maybe the company that he works for I think it's that yeah it's the it's the uh that's good yeah there's a a report following the incident claiming the gender believed he had been turning on the breaker rather than switching it off so he didn't like just unplug the fridge like a dumb ████ do you think that'll hold up in court per se he turned off the whole breaker yeah [Music] thought he was turning it on though he's just trying to ████ he's like maybe he'll turn out turn around kind of thing damn you would think there's like a padlock on that thing you would think you couldn't even get in the area bro yeah but that's what dude like when we talk about defense contractors and like all that kind of ████ because I used to do toner for like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin yeah so I would like send text to these classified buildings and these

5:04 guys needed to have like special access passes and ████ they need to have like classified Loki card yeah access ████ just a swap printer toner wow because they're in these high access area security yeah well that's probably the reason why because some ████ jerk off is gonna you know delete all the files pull a can and just like or could be copying the files and send them to Russia or something yeah yeah yeah sure that's true yeah but we can't just delete everything yeah but these guys are just researching like what shampoo photosynthesis for solar panel all right conditioner shampoo yeah but I guess but why would you need like high security you know like you never would have thought that the janitor would take their own liberty to turn off the whole thing yeah that's a bold move has the janitor ever ████ anything up in here all these years not that I know of

5:54 everything's already ████ up it's never like ████ on your pillow in there or something it's the opposite things get better I know things get fixed less holes when they interviewed the gender he says he didn't think he did anything wrong he was just trying to help out oh poor guy I bet because you hear alarm and you're just trying to turn it off it sucks to be like Ernest Lee just dumb yeah like he's a good guy probably but but then again how much of the blame is on the ████ company to to make sure that like this stuff doesn't happen well the thing is you can't block the ████ breaker box that's another thing that like that's in any like I mean the lab I'm sure the same rules you have to have like ████ access to the breaker panel so don't aren't they supposed to have backup power and just like fail proof like things to like if it's that important or also they just

6:44 probably didn't think that was ever a possibility don't we just sound like those ████ on Twitter who were like talking about the Titan sub the whole time yeah like why didn't they just use a better controller yeah then they wouldn't have been stuck down there yeah a better controller would have totally helped implosion I can't believe you bought the wrong materials what a ████ idiot I think I've seen enough zombie movies where if you're in a like High research place that they have their own generators if anything go bad yeah if they could do it how come they can that's true I know the way this guy solves problem is also weird though because like if there was smoke in the hallway and the smoke detector goes off he just turns off the smoke detector is that affecting the smell core problem God the ████ beeps man it's like a a Newman from Jurassic Park

7:34 where he meant to turn it off so someone could steal something you never know but his employer is being sued Daigle cleaning services oh ████ yeah that's a big oh yeah so he's not getting a suit his employer is damn don't they have insurance and stuff yeah I assume so I'm just answering for them a million dollars yes they do yeah they totally do yeah they're covered doesn't say though that sounds kind of sad because he probably just wanted to clean maybe maybe they're also just like lying about how much research was in there oh that's true I would to inflate the numbers it was super top secret all they had was a ████ sub yeah Coca-Cola or something he had a Jersey Mike's he's like myself yeah someone broke into my car like please call him dude I got like seven Rolexes in there took all of them I keep them in my car

8:25 for safety yeah always I felt I felt so dumb because I I truly don't have the guts to ████ lie in those situations but last time my trunk got broken into in front of my house they took my subwoofer and then uh I I called the cops anyway because I like to ████ report this ████ so that the stats go up in the area that it happened yeah yeah so the cop comes and he's like oh what did they take I'm like they took my my subwoofer out of the trunk and he goes what's the value of the subwoofer I was like I don't know like 50 bucks and it goes your subwoofer is only 50 bucks that's what the cop said I was like yeah thanks man yeah ████ you dude okay I gave you an honest value and that's how you treat me yeah yeah I feel like ████ wait how did you go yeah what kind of sub is that all by yourself no because it's I bought it in a grocery store parking lot it's such an old subwoofer from like another car yeah and

9:17 it's like an offer up subwoofer that's probably the real value of it's probably 50 bucks but did you but did you tell him that like just so you know full disclosure I'm really good at getting deals you gotta factor that in you should have been like oh you wanted the retail value see I got the I got the current Blue Book value if I was good at getting deals I would be saying a higher number exactly thank you
