The $711 Million Legal Trap Threatening Every Freight Broker | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

Malcolm Ferguson (0:31)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a Monday edition of What The Truck?

Sorry, it's that cigar smoke from my lungs because my University of Tennessee volunteers beat the Alabama Crimson Tide. I told you so. Listen to me. That's all you gotta do.

Mike Florian (0:52)

Give me a break. I told you so. You were doubting it. I was like, nah, Volvo's got him. You were like, I don't know, man.

Come on, man. You were hedging your bets up front. 100%.

Malcolm Ferguson (1:04)

What is up, Mike? It's good to see you, brother.

Mike Florian (1:07)

I love it.

You know, as soon as I saw him lighting up, I go, you know what? I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

Malcolm Ferguson (1:14)

Yeah, you can't smoke in the stadium.

Mike Florian (1:16)

No, you can't do it, right?

Malcolm Ferguson (1:18)

Yeah, it's a tobacco-free campus. You can't do that. But you can do anything when you beat the University of Alabama in football.

Mike Florian (1:24)

Yeah, I guess so. There's probably some group of morons out there that I'm inspiring to do take legal action against what was really fun type of thing. There's probably some, you know what I'm saying? There's probably some mothers against college students smoking tobacco and having a good time out there. You know what I'm saying?

Malcolm Ferguson (1:44)

There's a hundred percent.

Mike Florian (1:45)

Anyway, I wonder how much, I wonder how many claim, how many, you know, they have to get like a number of complaints, right? There's got to be that person, right?

Malcolm Ferguson (1:56)

Yes, a thousand percent.

Mike Florian (1:57)

Karen, right?

Malcolm Ferguson (1:59)

What would your kickback be for inspiring this, for coming about? What would your kickback be?

Mike Florian (2:05)

What do you mean, my kickback?

Malcolm Ferguson (2:06)

Like your fee, like, I mean, if they're gonna sue, don't you get something off the top as a thank you for inspiring the Voltaire?

Mike Florian (2:11)

Inspiring it? Yeah, fighter's fee for suing the Voltaire Nation for smoking cigars. I would, I want a couple million so I could buy the next round of cigars.

Malcolm Ferguson (2:23)

All right, we're going home with cigars.

Mike Florian (2:26)

I'd funnel it right back into the university. Into the ecosystem. I would, I would create a scheme where I would use trucking to import a bunch of really nice Cohibas.

For the next one, right? And then I'd give this to Phil Brink.

Malcolm Ferguson (2:42)

We're going to talk about a scheme from Phil Brink. Well, it's not from Phil Brink. He wrote it.

Mike Florian (2:46)

What? What? I was shady. We knew it.

Malcolm Ferguson (2:51)

We knew it. We knew he was trouble. We knew it.

Mike Florian (2:56)

Today, I feel like we're like the last ones to figure it out. Maybe. You're wild.

Malcolm Ferguson (3:03)

On a Monday.

Mike Florian (3:05)

I'm wild. Did you watch college football this weekend? I'm the wild one. Holy crap, dude.

Malcolm Ferguson (3:11)

I don't think we've ever seen a weekend like that. I mean, I'm sorry to Izzy.

Mike Florian (3:16)

Those heathen Catholics lost. That's what I'm talking about.

Malcolm Ferguson (3:18)

They lost. Georgia lost. Texas lost. I mean, Indiana lost, but should have won. You got to know where your feet are.

Just a lot happened. A lot.

Mike Florian (3:28)

But that's like, you see, I hate when people say that type of stuff. Because he threw it, the ball too far out of bounds for the guy. The guy was out of bounds.

Malcolm Ferguson (3:38)

How did they?

Mike Florian (3:39)

It's like saying, well, the guy was tackled behind the line of scrimmage, but he should have ran for 50 yards. You know what I'm saying? They should have won, but the guy overthrew him by 10 yards. Well, they should have won, but he threw the ball perfectly. I love the announcer. She said, it was a perfectly thrown ball. Really? It took the receiver out of bounds. Yeah, if it was perfectly thrown, you would have won the game. That was actually what we call, in reality, a shitty throw. Oops.

I mean...

Malcolm Ferguson (4:09)

You're not wrong.

Mike Florian (4:10)

It's just me. This is me.

Malcolm Ferguson (4:12)

You're not wrong. You're not wrong.

Mike Florian (4:14)

It should have won. Well, how is that?

Malcolm Ferguson (4:17)

I don't know.

Mike Florian (4:18)

No other names should have won, but there was those 50 plays that didn't score touchdowns. What?

Okay.

Malcolm Ferguson (4:28)

So, it was a wild weekend, and we got a wild show today, man. We got a lot to get to, and let's look at these...
