00:00now for something pretty personal here on Dave and Chuck the Freak as we dive into the corporate
00:12structure of the company we work for an email chain like no other blew up the entire company's
00:19email system it started I would say innocently enough even though this guy's a douche some guy
00:28did the reply all yeah to the entire company he was trying to log in to this test we had to take
00:34right yes but he couldn't because his password was wrong right so he instead of just replying to
00:43the IT department he replied all to the entire company this dude Matthew O'Neill I don't know
00:50who he is well I felt bad for him because he I mean he did do he started he started it he didn't mean
00:57to start it no it was a mistake yeah it could have been easily stopped from there yeah but then
01:04the hits just kept coming yeah it was not in Boston I'm on here as well someone in uh Tampa me too me
01:11too in Detroit me too in Philly I'm on this too and I'm in Fort Myers they just kept coming and coming
01:16please take me off yeah yeah someone in Charlotte hey please take me off this email list I'm getting
01:22hit with 23 emails yeah someone me too in Boston so every time please stop replying all a system
01:29would automatically do another reply with just their reply in there too so on top of the people
01:34hit reply all there's an automated system that's kicking the same message to everybody yeah yeah so
01:38every time someone hit reply all we'd get an email and then we'd get a message from the IT
01:42department so everything that everyone sent doubled up and at this point I'm yelling at my phone I'm like
01:47please stop I know I was like what are you people doing stop it stop it stop it you don't need to
01:53know where you're located we're all on this right stop this one blew my mind this is amazing this is

02:05the I mean for you listeners this guy's the top guy yeah in engineering top for the entire radio
02:12company yeah he replies in all caps yeah he's screaming at everyone yes yes we do not need you
02:20to tell us to remove you from the list what kind of idiots do we have working for us someone sent this
02:29by mistake to the whole company and the only way to remove you is to terminate you and delete your
02:36email it will go away if everyone relaxes obviously a dude that had lost his mind I could not believe
02:45though I've never seen a corporate email like that oh my god never well because kind of my hero
02:51oh I know because I was crying with laughter I was like but cheering and I'm like yes someone said it

03:11you're the moron is that correct that's correct Kyle what'd you do uh so I was on an email chain
03:20and some idiot hit reply all um so I jumped in on the action and started doing the same thing reply all
03:27except my words were I had one word responses and I was just grammar correcting them the whole
03:33time um so this this was after a few drinks and uh so I woke up the next morning to
03:44quite a few emails bashing on me uh because my managers and ceo was included on the chain
03:52um so I woke up feeling like an idiot for sure oh man the booze responses yeah and you think it's

04:21to make sandwiches you laid on the counter you cut it with the knife he for some reason couldn't
04:26understand that concept and like to hold the bread in his hand as he sliced it open um so one day he
04:33goes to cut the bread I look at him and say you remember how to do this he looks at me looks at the
04:38bread looks at me again cuts right through the bread slices his hand open we had to send him to the
04:43hospital he got like eight or nine stitches in his hand I got it wrong sandwich making is not for him

05:39working on commercial airplanes I learned that I work with morons when I had another employee
05:44working on a plane who didn't know how to use a cordless drill you don't want someone working on a
05:50plane that doesn't know a cordless drill doing yeah that'll be fine to fly where do I plug this thing

06:50sick and she stumbled up to the front you know saying we had hundreds of kids in the building
06:55at the time and oh my god she could have killed a lot of people and we had to have that so we had
