00:00well i've rarely uttered these two words together ever since they were bastards and stole my idea
00:14without compensating me but hot pockets yep it's making news today you don't often think of hot
00:20pockets as a dangerous weapon other than them burning the roof of your mouth
00:24sorry oh my god they're killing dave they're killing dave he's not a lot he can't talk about
00:31hot pockets he gets all choked up when i think of a hot pocket
00:37he's almost throwing up wow but that did not stop this man
00:42police in the boston area are looking for a guy who went to a corner market grabbed a hot pocket
00:50from the fridge and hurled it at the clerk behind the counter the guy apparently got upset because
00:56the clerk asked to see his id before selling him smokes okay another cut customer witnessed the
01:03hot pocket assault and told the assailant to chill out dude but then they started fighting
01:08and the hot pocket guy pulled out a knife a pocket knife he loves anything pocket yeah
01:14threatened the customer with it yeah they were able to get the bad guy out of the market lock
01:23the doors and call the cops no one was injured by the hot pocket or the pocket knife as far as we
01:29know the guy is still on the run though i mean i'd rather check the pocket book that he dropped
01:34i don't know i feel like they really failed and fell off but they don't see anything any no hot
01:43pockets did kind of i think lose some popularity i think they did yeah i don't think they're good
01:49they're not marketing like they were maybe it's they probably have trouble living with themselves
01:53after what they did yeah they know what they did they know what they did they know what they did
01:57i sang a new jingle on the air they completely stole it took my idea and offered me some hot
02:02pockets for giveaways as compensation i should have sued their asses i should have i know it's too late
02:07i just thought it would just be such a hassle and i would have back on him oh you did before i met you
02:13guys i ate hot pockets all the time yeah i was like no and people turn their backs yeah i turned
02:19my back on them too i don't like them because of that i got bad vibes yeah i definitely kept eating
02:24them no yeah of course you did of course you probably bought more kept eating probably not for all you
02:30guys after they did that today it was probably the time i bought them the most um i don't really
02:35eat them anymore though they're not in my i mean they really did steal oh they really did
02:41almost word for word almost word for word it's diabol and they admitted it by offering the hot
02:46pocket yes oh yeah so the lawyer lawyers reached out and was like it's right there you got it in an
02:52email and i did but dude stupidly i didn't pursue it i mean and now they probably don't have enough
02:58money to give me well yeah that's right i did we look up how much they had they got the money
03:02yeah they got the money conglomeration yeah they got the money that's big pocket you're talking
03:07about yeah you're right oh yeah four billion they got the money four billion dude i had to
03:14yep oh yeah you will sign up for uh like uh you know like one of those uh claims two hundred dollars
03:22yeah the family who created hot pockets has a net worth of four billion dollars
03:26one of the richest families in america talking about this now anymore i think we need to let it go
03:31because i know it's been a long time right i mean it's just crazy now that i see it four billion
03:37actual lawyers were like you probably should but lawyers will tell you i mean it was because they
03:41wanted to cut yeah we did it we even you even probably said trademark david chuck the freak i did
03:47um right after it we had audio oh my god we had it forever we don't anymore probably i remember
03:53seeing that commercial and i was like
03:55what kind of world is this yeah and they didn't even get it right no
04:01they did it they stole the idea and then like probably sat in a focus group and screwed it all
04:06up real bad i think we did a uh peep show about it didn't we yeah somebody there is a um
04:13like so another user put up like the whole segment from the show you know so like you can relive what
04:20happened oh i had them i had them put down this guy oh yeah i had that person put down did you
04:25have them put down they're just stealing our content
04:29oh my god yeah that was my jingle
04:38i mean it's a thousand
04:46didn't you say something about hot ham and cheese
04:52i said check it and see yeah check it they changed the words a bit but it was
04:58man they just stole they stole the whole idea i wanted them
05:02they really did should have sued 10 years ago huh yeah that's the problem
05:07yeah that was a long time ago
05:09what's the um years and years ago
05:12i wonder here yeah you likely more i do my version of it though
05:16and i had like the breakfast hot pocket what happens
05:19hot pockets there you go and so i'm like oh that's brilliant that they should use that jingle
05:23yeah anyway time went by pockets i've had it for years you should
05:27there for a new commercial hot pockets you should anyway
05:29hopefully we're reliving this this is so devastating it is
05:33i mean dave could have like a like a bezos yacht i know
05:39that's not he loves the water yeah like now think about the boat no no no
05:44it's just no honestly honestly no no hold on imagine the boat
05:49dave could have had versus the boat that dave will end up with
05:54the ss pockets yeah the ss pockets would have been amazing
06:00someone said the best part of the whole thing lisa's like the real question is
06:03what do you do because i'm not involved then you found out how much they were
06:06worth and you're like so what do we do about this yeah trademark dave and chuck the freak
06:13what are we gonna do about this dave
06:19yikes listen they have so much money there's enough to go around
06:26we could all have boats yep we could have all had boats
06:30we could have been giving out boats boats boats boats
06:33i mean we dropped the ball on that one dave yeah we did especially when a lawyer was like
06:39because the lawyer was like oh man i could get a great boat from this too
06:42yeah and uh like it's cut and dry it was so cut and dry that it was just like
06:48a marketing a stolen marketing idea with no compensation
06:52they admitted it on twitter they really did
06:55they did and i kept it all i kept out
06:59like i printed out everything in case they took it down
07:02yeah i still have a folder i believe i still have a hot pockets folder
07:06oh you gotta just i wonder how long you can wait up that folder
07:09yeah i was gonna say i wonder how long saying there's no time limit
07:12yeah they stole your idea dude it's hot pockets
07:14do you think that there's a room of people at hot pockets they're like he could he could do it at any time
07:20like they know what they've done
07:22no they didn't take him serious because they just offered hot pockets
07:25hundreds of hot pockets giveaways they were like some radio guy they're like some radio guy that was a
07:32legal thing them offering you that because if you take that then there's no that's why i didn't
07:37i didn't do anything with it right because someone said that to me too then i'm like that basically is
07:41them saying well you took the hot pockets it's payoff yeah exactly she said no i want money i love the idea of a huge
07:48a huge court case that involves hot pockets foreigner i love it it would make the news
07:54it would make the news that's the craziest 10 years ago radio host had his idea stolen
08:00like honestly they are sweating it i bet still if there's no time limit on there's no time limit they
08:05know what they did they were like and the problem is there was probably like uh uh someone involved
08:12who somehow listened to our show and they ran it up the chain but the the higher-ups didn't realize
08:19where that guy got the idea so they're like oh my god it's great he was the one who did it so they
08:25would try and send him down the road they probably fired him already al's gonna for there's so many
08:30people that were not a part of the show when this happened and and al's gonna play a little recap here
08:34so go ahead al yeah all right previously on dave and chuck the freak i did my own version of the hot
08:41pockets jingle hot pockets actually got back to us they thought it was a great idea and basically
08:47said let us know if you get the rights to the song foreigners publicist got word and they want
08:54to get in touch with hot pockets to try and make it happen no way yeah yes lisa if this this is going
09:00to be a huge hit for hot pockets maybe they bring me on stage and do it live you just get the tour with
09:05them and i'll sing it live with them hot pockets check it and see every minute a year's
09:10worth of hot pocket starts to look better and better so that was my excitement right yeah when
09:16they acknowledged my idea and then foreigners people commented on the tweet and we're like we
09:22we're in we think it's great yeah foreigners like we did money yeah yeah they did but okay so here's
09:27the other question then was it foreigner that really bent you over and plowed you no it's because
09:35hot pockets is the one that but like they have to pay no but if foreigner called hot pockets
09:41and they were like hey listen here's an idea you use our song to sell hot pockets just check this
09:49out and then and then they were like whoa that's great yeah we've got this was so big at the time for
09:59us we have three different previously oh i bet we've got the answer from hot pockets and then dave
10:06a little salt in the wound when he found out it went international oh yeah yeah so let's hear the
10:11follow-up of where i was devastated then i guess previously on dave and chuck the freak i for years
10:18have thought that the folks at hot pockets should take foreigners hot-blooded and turn it into a brand
10:23new ad campaign i did make contact with the hot pockets people one of three scenarios played out
10:29they're stealing my idea for a jingle they're using my idea for their new ad campaign or they're using
10:37my idea i'm not getting paid but i will be appearing in their commercials with foreigner which one do you
10:43think it is i think it's uh number two that you will get paid well ladies and gentlemen they are
10:49stealing my idea oh you were you're like you're gonna get paid your dreams are gonna come true
11:09because that's life money money money yeah it's gonna work out you found the only song in all of
11:15songs that hot pockets can use i know i know and then they oh god it just irks me that it was so
11:21terrible the end product right because i think they realized they had to change it so much they thought
11:26to try and avoid any yeah they couldn't use all my lyrics no but that's i oh man well this final clip
11:33i think is probably when dave put the folder together for the lawyers okay okay previously on
11:39dave and chuck the freeze i came up with the idea for a jingle where they take the words from hot
11:45blooded and replace it with hot pockets didn't think wow they'll actually take my idea like is this
11:50really worth me getting all enraged about and investing my time i'm gonna let it go but now i've
11:55changed my mind what and i want to go after them one of our listeners in mexico messaged me this
12:01effing commercial is airing in mexico i want nancy grace to interview dave to see that on tv do you
12:09really think you have a case you stupid stupid son of a bitch listen up you whore you annoying whore
12:21oh sure like no one else could have thought of this idea i bet you were just looking for porn
12:29day that was when nancy grace was relevant yeah well it was ten years ago how long ago it was
12:36that's why she was mentioned oh god there we are that's where we stand lisa defending her past self
12:42yeah well because i'm like why am i talking about nancy grace i think we were she was in the news
12:48it was topical i swear yeah this show is old yeah
12:53well uh too bad oh man uh four billion though huh four billion is what the family they could have
13:01cut you a check i don't even think it would have gone to court i think he would have they would
13:05have just they just want us to make this man go away give him give him and all the people he knows
13:09boats you've got them in a make him go away kind of situation yeah in fact they could have just been
13:16like you know what give him access to the hot pocket plane whenever he wants it flying private his
13:25whole life give him a bezos yacht i mean that's pockets money man that is pocket i do think what
13:32hurts you is that the pockets jingle failed so hard corely for them it failed so bad yeah because
13:40they didn't do it right i know they didn't they didn't i know they didn't they had a consultant
13:43me through the whole process it would have been so much better yeah i had a whole campaign crafted
13:49yeah i mean think about it like really if i was if i started a company and i was like i
13:57think we're gonna go jingle i think we're gonna go jingle i would 100 contact dave and be like
14:04listen man i need a catchy jingle the only thing that i would be worried about is that it would be
14:08another company's jingle yeah but he stole that you stole in your mind and then just put it out
14:15there that'd be my only fear i just want to like sit one weekend with an excel spreadsheet and figure
14:22out what other songs can do this exact same thing and then hopefully i can take down nestle or something
14:27oh man take down nestle yeah this was dave's chance this really was dave's chance turned into my hot
14:33pocket nightmare he thought radio might work no it didn't dave's boat needs to be the ss ham and cheese
14:42this was the number one way pockets boat money to become wealthy i blew it
