This tour gave its passengers a real taste of Chicago.
"On August 8, 2004 over the Kinzie Street Bridge in Chicago, Illinois, a tour bus belonging to the Dave Matthews Band dumped an estimated 800 pounds of human waste from the bus's septic tank onto a passenger sightseeing boat on the Chicago River below.
The resulting controversy led to more than $300,000 in settlements, donations, and fines. The band's bus driver, Stefan Wohl, pleaded guilty to dumping the waste in March 2005."

thanks for making a video about my home town much love keep on making cool ass videos dude
fuck you with ur dumbass ad
@@Emigdiosback happy birthday homie
If I want to wacht a country’s Netflix I will just go there I don’t trust your internet teleportation device
Hey love your videos, VPN doesn’t protect you much, but you are actually telling true which I appreciate as most YTbers tell bull about VPNs
Honestly, the most eye-opening thing about this whole mess is discovering that some tour buses come equipped with a "Commit Bioterrorism Now" button.
To be honest, a lot of rail passenger cars do not have a septic tank but instead an open system, which means that if you take a dump while on the train, it goes down directly to the tracks. (At least, it's not fermented.) They are being replaced with ones equipped with septic tanks, hopefully.
that made me laugh so hard
@@notthatcreativewithnames As nobody should walk on railway tracks, let alone lie on the sleepers when a train passes, direct dumps (pun intended) on the tracks is probably more environmentally friendly than septic tanks. But the toilet paper blowing in the wind is a bit gross.
@@kellydalstok8900
Nah, the single ply sandpaper they usuall have won't be blowing for long. Even less if you already blew a hole in it.
@@kellydalstok8900 i heard kids here used to laying in the middle of a train tracks back then, until someone died from playing game of "whose braver to stand closer to the track" and until train start installing one of those cowcatcher bumper.
As someone who lives in Chicago, I can say that the bridge is now a holy site for David Matthew’s fans.
Gamin
Is Chicago good for tourists? My family REALLY wants to go there but I cant find much there online.
From the story, it sounds like a holy shite as well.
@@bean_eater1209 they call it chiraq for a reason brother. I wouldn’t go there.
@@bean_eater1209 I've been to Chicago before, there's a lot to do! Boat tours, museums, landmarks, etc. There's even a 3-story Starbucks!
Oh boy what a nice day today on August 8, 2004.
I am looking forward to this fun boat trip where nothing out of the ordinary will happen.
"Look at the amazing architecture of those buildings" he said looking up, mouth open with wonder.
@@diannehogan7605 “oh wow, a bus! I’ve never seen one from underneath before, I should make sure my eyes are wide open so I don’t miss a single second of the undercarriage of this bus!” He said gleefully with a wide open smile on his face.
Clueless “Oh wow a bridge!”
@@diannehogan7605 thank you , humor is an awesome diversion , necessity, thing..
Le turd bus has arrived
I met Dave Matthews in line at a coffee shop in Charlottesville, VA. I'm not a fan, so I was kinda checked out, but I said "oh, you're Dave Matthews" and he responded "yeah" I said "cool" and he just smiled a big ol' high as shit smile, and that was it. Chill dude.
Most people who are famous it's all they want is to be treated just like a normal person.
@@joshjablonicky171 Sure about that?
Did you also meet chris chan
The people one that boat know what Dave Matthew's coffee sh*ts taste like
@@ohitsstar1241 I rather not make my name cemented into the forbidden Wiki
I'm still questioning why one can empty a holding tank from the driver's seat.
Effective way to stop tailgating
It's a different type of oil slick
I'm pretty sure you can't, you have to use the pumps like any RV. I think the passengers of the bus did it as a prank, and since they got caught they pay the driver to take the fall. or maybe not and the driver was really a jerk.
@@hectorcorona9536
Yeah whole thing is weird
When you're a Bond villain and you need to get a bit of spare cash, before trying to dominate the world.
The person who had to write that legal document HAD to be laughing their ass off
With your Irish accent “they higher a turd party to remove the waste” lol
Two turds of the passengers got soaked in poop
*hire
There you got an Idea for a cleaning company: employes wearing turd costumes!
I mean, there is a company that sends nude ppl for housekeeping already, why not?
@@andycapo9you
That’s disturbing (about the nude thing).
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 the turd costume thing is also quite disturbing
That guy is one hell of a violinist. He deserves his own bus.
the cowbell guy got his own boat
yeah but his shit stinks
@@hoze1235 Too bad it got covered in shite
It is now my new life goal to become a violinist who deserves his own tour bus.
Might be leaving my run a little late at 42 years of age, but fuck it... Wish me luck.
Edit: goddamn autocorrect
Came here to say that but he was killed out for sexual misconduct allegations
You should do a video on "The Grandpa gang", a group of 60+ year old men who attempted to rob a bank of millions of dollars worth of jewels
lol
That definitely sounds like a story that'd take well to the Qxir treatment.
Sounds like a monty python sketch
The granny gang
I approve.
Wasn’t there a movie made based on this event? I could’ve sworn I saw it in an airplane.
Ah the Irish accent, an expressive accent, the perfect accent for this story; dump all the shit on "Two turds of the people on the boat below"4:36. Personally I believe it was more than two turds.🤣
lol only two turds on the whole boat
Should have broke tradition & posted this on Turdsday
Thank you for the analogy, I felt the same, where accents, accentuate.
He should have just contracted the waste removal to a turd party
Dirty tree and a turd RPM
I absolutely ADORE that you're sat there with GWAR's Scumdogs of the Universe. That was one of the very first CDs I ever got growing up and I still have it almost 20 years later. R.I.P. Dave
Lmao, didn't notice he was holding a GWAR record until I read this; my brain/eyes assumed it must be the record he was talking about.
Who's Dave? Oderus Urungus is the member of GWAR that died. Must be mixing him up with Dave Matthews because of the video.
@@northofnashira2575 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Brockie
Ahhh, fellow GWAR fans. I still have the 12" red vinyl Hell-o, their first recording. I was living in Harrisonburg and heard that these VCU students were playing around Richmond using papier-mâché and red food colored water to make crazy horror costumes and that their show was amazing. I was 17 and my buddy had a car and we went to Richmond and I was hooked. Not the greatest musicians but Dave was a genius. Several of them went on to do puppeteering for Disney
@@quigongin3439 Well that joke went right over your head. If I know the name Oderus Urungus, then I think you can expect that I know what's up.
Qxir is a real hero, he makes the sponsor segment it's own part of the video for easy skipping
thats how a sponsor works. they get a 1 or 2 min intro by the host. getting monetized is different. thats when you see ads play during video. but sponsors are mentioned at beginning by the host
@@kenkaniff8428 nah I mean RUclips has this feature where you can divide your video into segments, so viewers can jump around to different parts, and he made the sponsor segment it's own segment in that system. Not everybody does that and it's nice when they do
@@squidwardtortellini4982 I love it too. RUclips Vanced straight up skips all sponsored segments, even if they're not marked out, but occasionally it'll miss one. Marking a segment as an ad will guarantee the skip.
Why praise this? This should be normal behavior. Anyone who doesn't do it, or hides the sponsorship in the middle of the video, is an actual scumbag who i'll never sub to and instantly stop watching all of their videos. It's deplorable to do anything but what Qxir does
@@Rhapbus1 some sponsorship have rules like that
I love when you can see what situation is going to play out but there are still surprises. It's just good story-telling.
Mentions the septic tanks: 'Oh no...'
Mentions the boat: 'Wait, how?'
Mentions the bridge: 'They stopped on the middle of a bridge and put a hose over the side?!'
Mentions the span has a grated deck: 'Ah'
You’d think that busses/RVs with septic systems wouldn’t allow the button to work while it’s in drive. Or it doesn’t even make sense for a button to be right there in the first place
Most have to be manually opened to be drained, but I guess tour bus have electronic ones to allow for convenience? The only thing I could think of is with a busgarage and they have an area they can pull over and quickly dump the black tank without dealing with hoses or getting out of the vehicle.
@@cheapskateaquatics7103 yea that’s what I was thinking, like people I’ve seen with RVs have to empty it themselves. But even if it was a connivence thing still would make sense for it to have some sort of lockout for reasons like this but that’s engineers for you lmao
@@JoseHernandez-mr9kt yeah kinda surprised it doesn't have a lockout for something like that. My guess is that since it's probably an after market modification, it's not wired in for that.
I'm not familiar with inspection regulations for customised busses in US states (or anywhere), but I would have thought that many vehicle authorities would be more than a little concerned about such modifications.
@@sixstringedthing for real! Plus if I was emptying my tanks I’d want to be in view of them just in case yk? Cause what if you open them from the drivers seat and then you get out and it’s making a mess and you gotta run back in to shut it off yk
7:04 Never forget. Like a great mind once said: "Those who forget history are doomed to be pooped on again"...
There was only 20 gallons of poop in the van, the numbers just don't add up.
@@LTPottenger I hear ya. I take 20 pound shits in one sitting. One time after I just squeezed one out I heard a snap of some sort. Turns out when the turd hit the toilet it was heavy enough to put a crack in it.
no even remotely funny.
@@LTPottenger 20 gallons of poop that were ATOMIZED by the bridge's metal grates and the wind. In my extensive research, that amount of poop was enough to cover 3-4 times the number of people affected at that particular incident. The math don't lie....
Fun Fact:
I'm a born and raised Italian.
In the Italian language, the name Chicago has a funny reference
used by many Italian Comedians..that being
Chicago, sounds very similar to ci caco(a.k.a) chi cako, which means "I Shit"
So, there you go, QXIR, you got another joke to use!
P.S. what does QXIR stand for?
In Spanish Cago means shit , and the verb cagar means : to shit
"QXIR" is Irish for:
"Dave Matthews"
Are you fascist?
I love Qxir's drawing of the band.
His art is iconic. He could live comfortably off that alone!
“he thought it was a good idea to just dump the shit in the river”
that’s just a chicagoland tradition, everyone gathers around for the shit disposition party and dump their shit in the river
his accent makes it much nicer to listen to for me
Sublime
So this is what that chocolate rain song was about.
Did you say they normally use a "turd party" to get rid of the waste?
At about four minutes my eyes widened when it all came together, and I remembered reading about this years ago lmao
i went ahead and paused the video just so i could mention that the minute he mentioned the boat i suddenly didn't want to finish the rest of the video. i dont think i've ever been struck by such a strong, guttural horror before
I was on one of those tours once, thank God it was not that one.
If I ever make my way to Chicago, My first words upon entering the city will be: "Ah, Chicago. The place that made Qxir talk about poop management twice."
Finally i knew you'd do something about this chapter of history
Never forget. A great mind once said: "those who forget history are doomed to be pooped on again"
This is the first time I'm seeing our Irish Lad get sponsored. And I'm just happy for him.
Still suprises me how few subs this channel has, definitely 1 mill + material.
He'll get there
I subbed just a minute ago. Videos of the Killdozer and Aimo made me do it.
@@visionsoftheend4299
Aimo?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 yes. The title of the video is "Soldier OD's on meth, Has crazy Adventure | Tales From the Bottle".
@@visionsoftheend4299
Thank you for the reply. I did try to look it up when you originally wrote your comment, and indeed that was the video that was recommended, but I couldn’t see the correlation to the word “Aimo.” Can you explain what that word means?
That is one of the very few videos of Qxir that I really don’t care to watch, because I know it will contain a bunch of propaganda. Nearly everything that we are taught about that war is a bunch of BS (the victors’ version). By the way, the Ally soldiers were also hopped up on drugs and all of them had access to amphetamines in their rations. You can see it by watching the RUclips channels that eat old military food ration packages, called MREs (“Steve1989MREInfo” is the biggest channel for that).
Companies losing money because their own negligence WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT
thunked*
The funniest thing is that in Italian the phrase "ci cago" literally means "I shit in it" and it's pronounced exactly like "Chicago"
3:10 The violinist for DMB is actually a main member of the band, not just a touring member. Same goes for their sax player.
All members of the band are intended to be permanent. They added the trumpet, electric guitar, a different saxophonist after the og died, and the keyboardist. They had one member leave in 1993 (who was a keyboardist). The only time they had a touring member that was not a member of the band was between around 1998-2007 (which was a keyboardist) in 2008 the og saxophonist was injured and died in rehab and they brought on the new saxophonist and the electric guitar. In 2018 the violinist was fired for sexual harassment allegations from a different band he was in and he was replaced by the current keyboardist. The only original members of the band now are the bass, drums, and Dave.
I like that you've put the sponsor segment in an extra chapter. Truly a man of honor and dignity.
I've been sailing all my life, and someone dumping their waste on the bridge was the horror tale our parents would tell us when sailing under a bridge.
The way you tell the storie and the drawing of the guy pushing the button is pure gold. 👌
My favorite wikipedia article is the Jimmy Carter attacked by bunny incident
Mine is "Athletics at the 1904 Summer Olympics - Men's marathon"
You should check out Wikipedias list of unusual deaths. Some of them are very funny.
As a guy who cleans these busses, how did he dump it? Busses like those all the busses I have seen need the tanks dumped from two different valves accessed by a panel on the side of the bus, what bus just had a single button which dumps all the waist?
Also yeah that sounds like Chicago, thank god I don’t live there anymore
This is indeed a mystery!
Qxir: *gets sponsored*
Entire fanbase: LETS FUCKING GO
Scumdogs of the Universe!?!?! Nice! Seeing that made me happy I didn't skip the ad read. Keep putting out this killer content!
Congratulations, I watch a lot of gore/true crime/messed up history videos which describe some really horrible things, and yours is the first video that brought me closest to puking at a description.
This is a serious congratulations, by the way. I'm very impressed. While also forever wary, going forward, when watching your videos.
Wow. Dave Matthews isn’t that bad
@@bobberman4641 this fucking hit my like a bus
“Sometimes a turd party is contracted for the waste disposal” didn’t even sound strange to me at first... accents can be tricky at times. 🙄🙂
Legal fillings being funnier than I am 😂😂😂
The sexy Irishman posts quality content to make our Friday that much better
I was eating during this video and I'll admit I couldn't stop laughing when you mentioned it going in their "eyes and mouths"
like just imagine being on that boat.
When I heard that it was a open top boat and something about shit I knew where things were going. I wish I was wrong lol
I wish that you’d had a decent grasp of how to use tense appropriately. You are wrong.
@@TonyCH0 I mean English isn't my first language plus I suck at grammar. I'm not super sure how I was wrong
@@zache4821 Don't worry, everything is fine. Other dude is just illiterate and trying to pass off as smart
@@EchoEdema Fair enough lol. Thanks c:
@@zache4821
You’re fine, dude. There’s only a few minor errors that I see...
It should be “an open,” not “a open,” as it is always “an” before a word that starts with a vowel. Punctuation-wise, a comma should go after the word “shit,” and a period needs to be at the end of your post, just before the “lol.”
*No biggie at all,* and those minor errors certainly have nothing to do with what Tony said you did wrong. Tony’s a moron.
An in depth guide to RV waste storage followed by a description of an open top boat. Surely nothing bad could happen involving these two things
I was wrong.
One time I took my RV to a multiple day music festival with about 10 friends. Those degenerate bastards destroyed the bathroom and filled the septic tank. Somebody had also decided to screw with the controls inside the RV which opened the black tank drain valve. The drain cap was on so the poo stayed in …at first. We had parked the RV in an out of the way spot down a small hill. In the process of leaving the festival on the last day I was driving back up that hill and the uneven ground came up and knocked off the drain cap. Poo shot out the side of the RV like somebody turned on a firehose. All over tents and personal belongings of people who had decided to camp next to the road.
OOF
If you want another video about Midwestern rivers, you could look at the time Cleveland's river (The Cuyahoga River) literally caught on fire. It's even a happy ending as the event helped bring awareness to the pollution problem in the river.
we love all the effort and pride that you put into your videos. We love you Qxir
Happy to see a new video uploaded
I remember hearing about this on the radio. It was major news here in Chicagoland.
Reminds me of the Pogues tour bus incident where after a gig the guys invited people back to the bus for a little bit of a drink...quite a lot of people actually...and now you mention it, quite a lot of drink. Luckily there was a toilet aboard... unluckily it wasn't designed for the amount of usage it got and it burst... unfortunately it was located above a cargo area and as they say "Shit goes down hill" and so, apparently, does piss... So all the bands kit was marinated in gallons of piss, their clothes, instruments etc. something the band only discovered when opening the cargo area for the next gig...
"a turd party is contracted." You and mike from "that Chapter". Gets me every time
You are going to be the 2nd biggest irish youtuber c: Just playing I love these videos
What is it about Ireland that produces so many great youtubers?
@@srahhh people like to hear them talk cuz of their accent
@@joshjablonicky171 Yep, it's the challenge of trying to figure out what the hell they are saying... ;p
Qxir's Videos just keep getting better over time
As someone from Chicago and someone who works frequently doing river cruises, I know this story by heart.
I also know one of the deckhands who was working on Chicago’s Little Lady. It’s a boat managed by Wendella.
OMG I was having a rough day and trying to make the best of it, and then you post a video and the world becomes a better place
Absolutely appalling that some people had to live through this Adam Sandler tier joke in real life
I haven't laughed so hard in a long while
cruel
What’s even more disgusting is that the driver’s court fines did not go towards the victims nor did the band donate to the victims.
whats even worse is ur just lying lmao, the band payed a shit load to the victims
As soon as I heard "grated surface" and "boat passing under while bus is on bridge" I instantly groaned and hang my head in unfortunate knowing.
They should've just called their debut album "Under the Tour Bus and Reeking"
Ahhh finally some quality content 👌👌👌👌
QXIR is the best ambassador for Ireland now that Mcgregor doesn't know how to fight anymore
you mean since McGregor turned into a cunt.
That button the driver pressed actually released the latest DMB album. The people on the boat only felt like they were blasted with 800 LB human waste.
More! More! More tho kinda stories, man!
In your interpreting it sounds ridiculously hilarious!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your videos are the best :D
I always wait for them
Hail Qxirism!!!
That’s actually one of the worst things I can imagine happening, I think I would rather the entire boat just sink
I worked at Moes south west grill where one day an oldmens home set a time to come by and eat without interruption. When I say it was a disaster is an understatement, soon as the came in some of the elderly men in wheelchairs would put their feet on the ground to stop the women wheeling them in shouting NO! I want pizza. One lady threw up on her self and the table. She started crying I cleaned it up and one of them made a mess in the restroom. Lucky I didn’t clean it. Nearly all of them refused to eat the food we made them because either they didn’t trust us or the assistance or they thought we made it wrong and after 20 minutes of convincing they ate the food but still complained because it wasn’t good. ( I would agree) Finally as they left some of them started to forget where they were. I don’t know why this video reminds me of this memory but it does.
I like the subtle artstyle change you did for the "old school" video thing
YESS!!!
I love these kind of videos
You know a channel is getting big when they start getting sponsors
Uh big? I don’t see 40k views in 20 seconds
About time
Especially for poop videos
It makes me sad. I can’t stand promotions in the middle of videos. If I wanted to watch advertisements, I would still be watching television instead of having stopped pay my cable TV bill 12 years ago.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Well at least he adds time stamps over his so you can easily skip them. Most creators won’t do that.
In my opinion this is literally your funniest video yet. I can literally hear you trying not to laugh while describing the case
Wow. Im happy you have a sponsor, keep at it boss!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is exactly what I needed to watch at break 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Nah man, imagine getting a life time disease over that
@@atanaZion there's no lifetime diseases in there. I mean the worst you could probably get is hepatitis A or b. And you can get vaccinated against hepatitis b. Fun fact when I lived in Florida down in key West and I was a first maid on a charter boat. The State of Florida was nice enough to come around to all of us fishermen and everybody that worked with shellfish and what not and say hey y'all can get hepatitis b. But if you want, we'll give you these free shots once a month for 3 months and then you won't ever get hepatitis b again. We all said okay. Sometimes comedy is tragic but it's always comedy

As a former resident I had forgotten all about this until you mentioned the septic tank then it all, ehm, flooded back to me. laughed for a good minute there before unpausing
truly, our city has some excellent lore
"five buses seems a bit excessive"
No, you don't understand. The Dave Matthews Band is like its own orchestra. There's so many members of the band, I don't doubt they need five buses
This was hilarious!
🤣🤣🤣I laughed my ass off!!!

You sir, have earned my like.
"Real fans call him 'Dave'."

A 2 minute ad for an 8 minute video. You were wildin' back in the day man 😂
I was walking into the gym and I get the notification I’ve been waiting on all week, my lord and savior Qxir has posted a new video. The gym can wait.
So in all of these random payments, did the actual victims of the incident actually get *anything*?
AS usual it's the little people that get shit on & have to just deal with it.
Diseases or long-term health effects? No.
Compensation? Apparently also no.
I heard "two turds of the passengers on the boat."
And nobody can EVER convince me I heard wrong.
I WAS eating when the malodorous downpour description occurred... Not so much afterwards. Thanks, Qxir!
When that new Qxir comes out 🤤😩😋💄👄👖
The Irish have blessed us again today
Your videos are awesome 👏
You don’t post enough my man. We need longer videos or more activity in general
Qxir: "...most of my long-term viewers would trust me with their lives..."
My British half: "Hang on, since when do Brits trust the Irish... With their lives?"
That made me laugh almost as hard as the actual story you were telling XD
"A wikipedia page where it's mere existence is enough to make me laugh"
Alright, not sure if this is _exactly_ the same thing, but my personal favourite is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
Ay mate, glorious video as always!
Would be cool if ever you wanted to do some stories from Quebec, Canada.
We've got alot of messed up laws and awful killers, maybe a story on Guy Turcotte and the whole legal debaucle that followed afterwards.
Aye glad you got a sponsor :)
