00:00Chuck, what's wrong?
00:01Dude, I'm dragging.
00:02Do you have any more of those five-hour energy shots?
00:04Yeah, in fact, they hooked us up with a promo code.
00:06I was able to get, like, 50% off a second pack when I bought one,
00:09so I got you a bunch.
00:10Dude, where are they?
00:11Right next to you.
00:12They've been there for weeks.
00:13Oh, wow.
00:14Wow.
00:19All right.
00:22If hot boiling water
00:27is spilt upon your genitals.
00:32It is alive.
00:34Causing severe damage.
00:36I feel it.
00:37Oh, no.
00:38What should that be worth financially?
00:42I guess you have to specify these damages.
00:47Does it work?
00:48Okay, I'll use a couple of words.
00:51Damage described as permanent and life-changing.
00:55Oh, no.
00:55I'm guessing no.
00:57Can you put a dollar figure on that?
01:00I mean, if you're a dong,
01:02it looks like the elephant man.
01:08I need all the money, you know?
01:10Well, I don't.
01:11If they gave me all the money,
01:13I would just use it in a mad scientist kind of way
01:15to, like, rebuild my dong.
01:16Like, if you had dong of spawn.
01:18Yeah.
01:19Dong of spawn.
01:20Yeah, that's not good.
01:22Not good at all.
01:23That guy's dong.
01:24Put a number on it.
01:25What a number.
01:271.5 million it should be.
01:29At least it's going to be way less.
01:31I bet it's going to be 175,000.
01:34I feel like 85 million.
01:3885 million.
01:39You know, maybe a B.
01:40Put a billion in there.
01:41Yeah, throw a billion in there.
01:43But, like, I don't know.
01:44Yeah.
01:44At that point, if it's destroyed,
01:46I don't even want the money.
01:47I'll see what's out there next.
01:48They never give you what you think.
01:50They never.
01:50In this case, you'd be surprised.
01:53Okay.
01:53And Andy is actually closer.
01:56Wow.
01:56Thank God.
01:58Starbucks will have to fork over $50 million.
02:03Well, Starbucks, that's the.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Well, you know, coffee prices will go up.
02:06Oh, yeah.
02:07You don't have to pay for it.
02:08This is all to a man whose genitals were severely disfigured
02:13after a hot tea spilled in his lap at a California drive-thru.
02:17I think the fact that it was all caught on camera definitely played in his favor.
02:22Delivery driver, so it wasn't even for him.
02:25Oh, that sucks.
02:25Delivery driver Michael Garcia underwent skin grafts and other penis procedures
02:31after the fateful spill of the piping hot, venti-sized Starbucks tea,
02:37which immediately fell onto his crotch after he bought it.
02:41I feel bad for the workers.
02:42I do, too, because it's not their fault.
02:45It's just an accident.
02:46Here she is, passing it to him.
02:48That's horrible.
02:49He's putting something down here, and he goes to grab it.
02:52It's going to be a tough ride here.
02:54Oh, no.
02:56Oh, oh, oh, oh, no.
02:59Oh, he can't control himself.
03:01That's really his fault.
03:03He drove off.
03:04I thought so, too.
03:05I will say.
03:06I think his foot in the gas.
03:07Well, your legs would just be flailing.
03:11That's his fault.
03:13Now, what I would say is, I think there's a lot of faith put in those little drink holders.
03:19What's up with that?
03:19That they do not work as well, especially in that case.
03:23It was the triple.
03:25You got to go in and get that.
03:26You almost should, but when there's three in the container that holds four, it's never
03:36balanced right.
03:37I can't believe we haven't got a better design.
03:38Sometimes the two, they'll give you the two with the handle at the top.
03:42Oh, I like that one.
03:43That's a good one.
03:43I like that one.
03:44That's a better one.
03:45The four that she's using, that's one of the worst.
03:48So she's got the four, but she's got the three.
03:49But there's only three.
03:50You can see one's already falling.
03:52The balance is off.
03:54One's already loose.
03:55Which one got him?
03:55So he's like, thank you.
03:57Yeah, the one that looked like it was falling.
03:59Yeah, man.
04:00That's a burning man.
04:01That's a burning penis.
04:03Is it the money because of the temperature of the tea?
04:06It must be the temperature.
04:06Because it wasn't her fault.
04:07It was not her fault.
04:08Unless they considered that the lid wasn't on correctly.
04:12I don't think the lid mattered.
04:14You can't be liable.
04:15They obviously found they were.
04:17It has to be the temperature of that tea.
04:19It is like tea and coffee shouldn't be hot enough to change your penis.
04:25Yeah.
04:27It shouldn't be.
04:28That's how I like it.
04:30That's a quote of the day right there.
04:33They turn over to the machine.
04:35There's like a machine.
04:37Like if I had a coffee shop, you know?
04:40Like what do you keep yours at, Dave?
04:41No, but you have like a cup that you set it to.
04:45Oh, I got 140 degrees.
04:46Right, so like they got a machine that it's like 120, 125, 140.
04:50Okay, but it's different.
04:51Change your penis.
04:52Right.
04:53That's all the way.
04:54All the way.
04:55Change it.
04:56Each tea is a different temperature, but if you're having black tea, it's got to be boiling
05:00in order to make the tea correctly.
05:03Yeah, I mean, maybe that's why I subconsciously.
05:05Well, boiling at the start, but then I guess that's the whole thing.
05:08So it has to be on a company that has something boiling to be like, I can't hand this to you yet.
05:14But I mean, like McDonald's went through it in the, it's like you got a corporation, you'd
05:19be like, make sure that stuff isn't hot enough to change a penis.
05:22Yeah, they do.
05:23But I mean, like I said, you know, I bring it up every time.
05:26My sisters, if she had a penis, it would have been changed.
05:30Oh, right.
05:30But she had a hot coffee spilled on her chest and it just melted her whole chest off.
05:36I kind of avoid hot drinks anyway, just because like, I'm very clumsy.
05:41But okay, what happened to them?
05:42So I guess it doesn't matter what they put on the cup like this, this tea could burn your
05:45dick off.
05:46It doesn't matter if it says that on the cup.
05:47Not if it's burning your dick.
05:49No.
05:50Right.
05:50So all bets are off when that thing is in your lap.
05:53A jury's like, it changed it.
05:56And it did.
05:57Permanently.
05:58Knowing.
05:59They probably showed it.
06:00His penis?
06:02Like the jurors probably had to see it.
06:04Oh my God, almighty.
06:05I know what I saw.
06:06But I guess you would, like even you, who doesn't want anyone to see his penis ever, if
06:11you were going to get 50 million, you'd show it, right?
06:13Oh, do you know how much money I'd get?
06:14I would tell them that it was a lot bigger.
06:17Before the accident?
06:17I would be like, there's no.
06:18There's no left of it.
06:19Yeah.
06:21This is all that's left.
06:22Oh man, they'd be like, oh my God.
06:24They'd bring in women to take the stand as he's lying.
06:26Oh my God, it'd be billions.
06:27So, Michael Garcia sued Starbucks, and the other day, a Los Angeles County jury decided
06:33in his favor, finding an employee of the Seattle-based coffee chain had not wedged the scalding
06:38hot drink into the takeout tray well enough before handing it over to him.
06:44This jury verdict is a critical step in holding Starbucks accountable for disregard for customer
06:50safety and failure to accept responsibility, his attorney wrote.
06:53Starbucks, not as cool about it.
06:55They say, we disagree with the jury's decision that we were at fault for this incident and
06:59believe the damage is awarded to be excessive.
07:02We've always been committed to the highest safety standards in our stores, including the
07:05handling of hot drinks.
07:06It's not excessive.
07:08I think they make one of those four drink holders, like the ones that you're talking about
07:14with the two that have a handle.
07:15They're going to have to switch to that style.
07:17Yeah.
07:18Like that cardboard, push it down and hope for the best thing.
07:23Doesn't work.
07:23It's, they're terrible.
07:25No.
07:25Even when you try to put it on the seat next to you, like it's 50-50, the things are going
07:30to spill all over the place.
07:31Yeah, don't you feel like every time you, you're just taking a gamble?
07:33Like every time.
07:34Oh yeah.
07:34It's like, oh, it worked out this time.
07:35I'll tell them, just hand them to me one at a time.
07:37I'll be like, I got three drinks.
07:39I got two kids and me.
07:40Give me one at a time.
07:41Put them in your cup holders.
07:42That's it.
07:42Yeah.
07:43No.
07:43I had to go get Starbucks all the time for somebody and it was just like a nightmare every
07:47time with that thing.
07:49Yeah.
07:49I'd spill it and have to go back and get the stuff.
07:52Oh, the worst.
07:53Third degree burns and permanent injury to his genitals.
07:57Yeah.
07:57Life-changing injuries.
07:58Do you think he can't have kids now?
08:00Well, I think he can have kids, but I bet the sensitivity is way down.
08:04If it's all scarred and got burnt off on the tip, you know, you wouldn't, yeah, you wouldn't
08:11feel...
08:12No kids, huh?
08:13I just spilled my coffee all over myself.
08:15Oh, my God!
08:16Burned it, damn it.
08:17Yeah, he's smiling.
08:18Oh, listen, listen.
08:19The delivery driver had to receive two skin grafts on his penis, which was permanently discolored
08:24and disfigured and now results in only painful sex.
08:29That's why he got 50 million.
08:30Well, I bet whatever skin they put on isn't as, like, stretchy.
08:37Skin graft's weird, right?
08:38Like, isn't it, like, don't they use, like, fish skin and stuff?
08:41Oh, I don't know.
08:42I mean, I guess they can.
08:44I guess they don't have a painful experience.
08:45A lot of times they'll just use your own skin from somewhere else on your body.
08:49They have a weird thing that just shaves it off of you.
08:54That's nuts.
08:56His attorney said that one of the most pleasurable experiences in life, sex, has been changed
09:03to pain because of his awful, awful injury.
09:07He is now a different person.
09:09This affects every facet of his life.
09:11Well, yeah, I mean, if that T turned his wiener into the guy from the end of Robocop, like,
09:15you know, that stings.
09:17Oh, man.
09:20The toxic waste guy.
09:24Oh, no.
09:24Yikes.
09:25No.
09:2850 mil is way more than I thought he would ever get, though.
09:31Absolutely.
09:31I mean, that's so much money.
09:33But don't you just say that it hurts every time you bang, too, to maybe secure that 50
09:36mil?
09:36Ow!
09:37Ow!
09:38Yeah.
09:38Because, like, best case scenario, he gets the 50 million, and it's really not that bad.
09:42It just kind of looks bad to a jury, right?
09:44Yeah.
09:45It's too, it's a lot.
09:46That's too much money.
09:47Yeah.
09:47What if you're on the jury, and he's like, here is a video of me becoming aroused, and
09:58the thing just pulls it over to, like, one side, because the skin, it's all scarred.
10:07Because I would assume that he has that Peyronie's from it, you know?
10:14That's crazy.
10:14But, I mean, like, if something like that happens to you, way better than, like, a smaller
10:20coffee shop than Starbucks.
10:22Yeah.
10:22Oh, yeah.
10:23You're glad it's Starbucks.
10:24For sure.
10:26Again, it wasn't even his coffee.
10:29He was just picking it up as a delivery driver.
10:31How does a lawyer not have a huge smile, even though this person's going through devastating
10:36stuff?
10:36I think they do.
10:37Well, they wait.
10:37They do a dance.
10:39Yeah.
10:40That lawyer money dance.
10:42We will get to the bottom of this and get you justice.
10:43They close the door, and they're like, ah!
10:46Oh, yes!
10:47Yes!
10:48Because the lawyer's later right off him!
10:49Yeah.
10:51Because that's it.
10:51The lawyer's like, let me examine those photos.
10:54Oh, my God.
10:55Devastating.
10:56Your life's changed.
11:01Oh.
11:03Okay.
11:04We'll talk about this a little later.
11:06Oh, he's so happy when he saw those dogs.
11:11Oh, my God.
11:12Of course.
11:12Oh!
11:16Gonna get a vintage check.
11:18Oh, yeah.
11:20I feel like part of the fun of having 50 million is all the banging you do with 50 million dollars.
11:24I'd have to come up with all sorts of other things, which I'm doing right now for much
11:28less than 50.
11:29You have, like, a million hobbies.
11:31Yeah.
11:31Yeah, checks finding other pleasure zones.
11:33Yep.
11:34Yeah, I just, like, that's, I don't know.
11:36I'd be like, thanks for the check.
11:37At the same time, though.
11:39So, like, even though I may not have any real sex, I can still, if I need to.
11:45Have it.
11:46Well, I can have it.
11:47Not really.
11:48But, I mean, pleasure, you still feel something.
11:53It's not like I can't feel stuff myself.
11:57Right.
11:58I mean, he's got, there's, to think of that thing, that time being just gone for you.
12:06I don't know.
12:06I mean, it's just.
12:07That's worth 50 million.
12:09Honestly, it is.
12:09Not, not to exaggerate, but I think that's.
12:12I mean, there is another way.
12:13I'm scared of it every day.
12:15There is another way.
12:16What are you talking about?
12:17Are you talking anal?
12:18Yep.
12:19You can't get the same.
12:21I think, I think you can.
12:23You can get the same stuff?
12:24I don't know.
12:25I think that you.
12:27Same stuff.
12:27You think he goes that way with it now?
12:29What do you mean?
12:29Like, the same kind of pleasure?
12:29Well, I think you have to, don't you?
12:31You went through it.
12:32Yeah, you'll finish.
12:33That's why people do it.
12:33That's why they do it.
12:34They finish that way.
12:36You went to the override system.
12:37Yeah.
12:38You have to.
12:40I mean, if maybe.
12:40Override.
12:41With 50 million, you'll get a lot of pretty ladies to.
12:46Someone said.
12:47That's a terrible life, though.
12:49Oh, my God.
12:49It's not the best.
12:50My husband.
12:51Jesus.
12:52Okay, Chuck.
12:52Stop putting that finger up like that.
12:55Someone said, my husband is a service technician, and he used to work on Starbucks coffee brews.
12:59He was working on one, calibrating the temperature of the water, and it spilt right in his lap
13:02and burnt the tip of his penis.
13:05It took several weeks and lots of burn ointment, but thankfully it healed.
13:10But at the same time, like, it healed, but I wondered to him if he's like, yeah, it's
13:14like 30% of what it used to feel like, maybe.
13:20Even this guy?
13:20I don't know.
13:21Yeah, like that guy.
13:22I mean, I don't know.
13:22I doubt it.
13:23If I burnt my wiener with any sort of hot coffee, I would tend to it like a warrior that
13:28was like, you know, like I'd anoint him gently all the time.
13:32Just take care.
13:33Rest, rest.
13:35Rest.
13:35Many sponges on sticks.
13:37Yep.
13:37Rest.
13:37Rest.
13:37Rest.
13:37Rest.
13:37Rest.
13:38Rest.
13:38Rest.
13:39Rest.
13:40Rest.
13:40Rest.
13:41Rest.
13:41Rest.
