a man peeing in his own front yard was memorialized on Google Streetview and he’s not happy about it hi I’m James from Streeter Illinois let’s talk about that good mythical morning this episode is brought to you by catalyst comm the guys with the goods the guys with the toilet mug if you ever wanted to drink coffee out of a toilet but you couldn’t pick it up now’s your chance drinking Gulas I’m drinking brown tinted water out of a small toilet and we’re talking about men peeing in their own front yard so welcome to good mythical morning coffee coffee people hope you I hope you’re glad that you made this choice I’m glad that you’ve made this choice is this gonna be too much of a distraction to you me or the people cuz this coffee and I want to keep drinking it as long as you don’t slurp it it’s not a distraction to me you may have heard about this story was in the news last week and then continuing to be in the news over the weekend as it developed this is actually a developing story yeah things just keep developing about it this man who is yet to reveal his name in a French village which also the village has yet to have been revealed really is suing Google because he was apparently caught on street view urinating in his front yard now his name in the village are not public knowledge but we do have a shot of the picture which we will throw up there for you for you to look at we can squeal and we will be examining and scrutinizing this image ourselves but yes and the reason this guy found out about it I don’t know how long it’s been up there but he found out about it because he became an object of ridicule in this little French village I think that’s how things happen to French villages you know your buddy knows everybody you’re walking around town and with a baguette under your arm and people just took oh look at him he’s the guy who was keen and go but they don’t just use a French accent hahaha speak English they they actually speak French which I can’t do so I’m sorry that’s Thresh you French fans I don’t know how many French fans we have out there but we didn’t mean to make fun of you in stereotype you by putting a French baguette under your arm we’re just playing around or drinking out of toilet and just playing around as many of you know Google has cars that have cameras mounted on their roof or roof or hood or some place on the vehicle and it’s just a series of cameras in a spherical type thing I’ve seen this thing around LA yeah I’ve seen it several times in Los Feliz Boulevard I actually saw it two different times it’s like it was you couldn’t get enough of them and I always try to get in there behind it I try I’m doing my best to get on street view and do you do you pee when you when you try to get on it and I will from now on I will from now on so they’ve got the camera and they’re just constantly taking photos when it first came out which is it Street View itself is not news people hopefully I’m not telling anything you don’t know but you can easily get sucked into looking at Google Street View as a form of entertainment even if you don’t see a French guy who is mikta rating in his front yard mix rating that’s good I always use you know I use Street View if I’m going to somebody’s house and I’m like you know I’ve got the time and I want to say all right I want to know exactly what this looks like but then I just get sucked in and oh I want to see what the neighbor’s house how you just clicking it to the right to the right even though I’m going there to see it in real life I still want to experience it in Street View we just want to see how it’s how it’s a different you want to see how Street View matches up with a reality you want to be able to scrutinize it but this guy as you can see from the picture let’s bring this picture up and talk about it obviously this man he’s looking over his shoulder as if to say uh there’s somebody driving by and it looks to me as if his arms are crossed you know now I I’m not an arms crossed peer but this guy maybe you know that’s when you’re really settling into one you know and you’re just like I’m gonna be here a while in my front yard that has a road next to it why why is he he could have just as easily been behind the vehicle or you know what even better yet what if he went back into his house went to his bathroom and then peed you know what a concept go in your house in pee I’m just thinking this is a lightly trafficked road he doesn’t see a lot of people obviously if he’s taking that if he’s just saying you know I’m just gonna let it drop right here in the front yard in front of the car he must not have a lot of traffic like you a basis let it drop he was he was doing dumper he was doing number one or two it still drops this is a constantly drop it flows if I hey you very well could be peeing on his own minivan there what is it that a minivan uh it’s like a French wrench styled a minivan it looks actually some kind of light utility vehicle maybe he’s cleaning the cleaning the the headlights off depending on how much he’s got stored up you know it’s like fret if he has enough pressure to knock off the bug oh that’s not like a pressure washer I’m sorry like there’s ammonia in urine and maybe he’s it’s aussicht loosening the all the bugs that have gotten on the grill there and then he hears a car going by and thank goodness he just turned his head I mean what kind of trouble would this guy be and if he would have turned his whole body to see that that was the Google Street View car snapping photos of him yeah well here’s one here’s one question about this guy a does he have a case I mean this guy’s suing Google for about ten thousand euros about thirteen thousand dollars does he have a case I mean first of all we never really even questioned the privacy issues that you know the privacy that’s being violated with Street View but I guess you know anybody on a public street could theoretically go to this spot and walk by and see this guy urinating I think so and they can snap a photo but that doesn’t seem that doesn’t seem right just met the snapping of the photo is where they’ve crossed a line right where the photo crosses the the literal property boundary because it doesn’t really become nearly as viral if it’s just hey I was walking through this French village with a baguette under my arm and check it out I saw this dude peen it as a story it’s kind of like a great story but as a street view image it takes on but a whole new you know quality I don’t think that he should be that upset I mean he you know he he’s comfortable enough to just to let it leak in his own front yard I mean he literally he could have gone in his house you know I think technically he could probably sue this is just my opinion I’m not a I have no legal legal training but practically dude you’re peeing in your front yard I mean if you’re comfortable enough to do that this you know you brace it call call Google Streetview get them to come back every time you do it you know make a hole make a calendar of yourself peeing in your front yard you know capitalize on yeah next come by next time we’ll be facing the camera I think you could have just said listen I wasn’t P I mean it isn’t and I realize it’s a little blurred and maybe there was like a stream or something that you could see in one image that’s been now blurred just for this you know man’s decency but we don’t have reason to believe that happen but I would say hey I wasn’t peeing I was just looking over my shoulder but apparently the whole village is convinced that he was actually urinating well I think so apparently he’s admitting guilt when he sued Google he bit draw all this attention to himself that he was peeing yeah he’s yeah no no I am the guy that’s but now I’m being made a fool of internationally now I will say we are holding back on you people we’ve got an amazing piece of information here that we could have we could have led with this story but we want to reward those of you who’ve stuck around for this whole episode I think most of you stick around the whole time you should be rewarded with information like this would you believe that someone here was caught on Google Streetview me I am on street view this is not a joke at your own house at my old residence in Fuquay Varina we’re gonna just I don’t live there anymore so I’m going to give you the address that you can go and look it up yourself 122 East Street in Fuquay Varina North Carolina that’s fuq you a why if you look that up we’ll put a link to it in the in the description if you look that up you will see I a little white house with a black Scion in front of it and I didn’t even know that they were passing that day this picture was taken in 2007 according to the the watermark there oh really well actually says 2012 but no I said tell me a thousand mm so I’m going into the door as you can see well I could be peeing actually you know what actually you pee I’m gonna change mister I was actually urinating it’s hard to tell I’m urinating on my front step there uh I thought about suing Google but you know I kind of wanted to just embrace it I’m letting one drop right there on the porch it’s kind of hard to tell but Matt I mean just imagine the sheer serendipity of being caught on Google Street View in front of your own health the uh I mean search Google Street View for hours and I’ll be hard-pressed to see people in their own front yard much less peeing I didn’t even know I don’t think I even knew about Google Street View at the time of this photo was taken this is five years ago I think this may be one of the first Google Streetview is they came to your house in order to start it and I was wearing my cargo pants my cargo shorts yeah I yeah think of the serendipity to see Rhett and in cargo shorts I’ve never seen you in cargo sure well when I’m when I’m getting ready for my my big Google Streetview appearance I was like I got a we got I mean you gotta be nimble or you want to keep your legs you want to keep your your shins cool someone else discovered this I didn’t know that Google Street View had gone by I’m just going into my house minding my own business and somebody was using Street View to get to my house and make sure they said you know what you’re on Street View you’re on your front porch on Street really really we pulled it up and there I was peeing on my front steps I think that we should just start waiting for Google Streetview just think about I mean this is this Frenchman’s get national attention maybe you’re soon to follow a rat as a result of this episode you’re going to get national attention you should sue Google for catching you peeing and then I’m making a public declaration right now I was urinating on my front steps back in 2007 and I’m filing a suit against Google I think people around the world should just sit on the front steps and just wait for Google Streetview to come by and just hold it for as long as you can and just let it go let it rip let it drop let it go when they come by and then cash in cash in you know what let’s do that everybody let’s start spinning the wheel but if you if you are caught peeing on Google Street View give us a ring we’re gonna we’re gonna talk to an attorney and we’re gonna have a class-action lawsuit anybody who’s ever been caught keen on are we gonna get shut down because of this because you know Google pays our bills we’re joking it’s just a joke how we gonna admit I consulting with our lawyer I guess link leaves sad well we we thank you for joining us I’m sorry that uh beef you had to see me drink out of a toilet the entire can’t believe I can’t believe with you you didn’t even ask to see my house and Street you really hurts my feelin’s Ling but you’re not on your street I know but if he hurts my feelings to know that I’m not on it I’m not on street view well we could I mean we could Photoshop you in there sounds like I’m dying doesn’t see you tomorrow
