Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a tourist in Portugal who caused a bomb scare at a restaurant after confusing the Portuguese words for pomegranate and grenade. The show thinks Dave could make this same mistake because he always tries to use the language of the country he's visiting.

00:30Well, a tourist in Portugal sparked a bomb alert at a Lisbon restaurant when he confused
00:40the Portuguese words for pomegranate drink and grenade.
00:47I love the idea of Dave doing this.
00:51You'd say it with such confidence.
00:53Yeah.
00:55He'd be like, I'd like to drink a grenade.
00:57And they'd be like, since your day?
01:01Irish terrorist threatens Mexican resort with a grenade.
01:04Exactly.
01:05I'll have grenade, please.
01:06Yeah.
01:06The 36-year-old guy found himself handcuffed and surrounded by armed police.
01:13He said he had a grenade.
01:14After a language app gave him the wrong translation for the pomegranate drink he was trying to buy.
01:21See, that's when it fails, those apps.
01:25Maybe he shouldn't put in bomb-ass pomegranate drink to get translated.
01:28Yeah.
01:29Can't name it like that.
01:31That's funny.
01:31When you put in how do you say grenade in Portuguese, it comes up how do you say pomegranate in Portuguese?
01:37Huh.
01:38Let's see what grenade sounds like here.
01:43Granada.
01:44Granada.
01:45Granada.
01:45Granada.
01:45It seems like you're not going to screw that up.
01:47And pomegranate?
01:50I just wonder if it was called something like James is saying, like the...
01:55No, pomegranate is.
01:56Pome.
01:57Pome.
01:58Nothing at all.
01:59That's a nice sound.
02:00Do you think he was just doing the Dave, I would call it, when he's like, pomegranata.
02:08Like he's just saying the English word, but with some kind of accent.
02:15Pomegranata.
02:16And they're like...
02:18Yeah, it must be that.
02:20That's all they heard.
02:21That's it.
02:22That's all they heard.
02:24Quite an overreaction, though.
02:25The guy just wants a drink.
02:27Yes.
02:27I don't understand.
02:28When...
02:29So here's what happened.
02:30They're probably pretty sick of this guy.
02:31They couldn't understand what he was saying, so he wrote down the word and handed it to
02:36them.
02:36Oh.
02:37Which now he's like...
02:38Okay.
02:39Grenade.
02:39Okay.
02:39What does pome-a mean?
02:43Like, does that mean, like, I have?
02:46Like, when he wrote the word, I'm assuming that the front part...
02:51No, he wrote down...
02:53Granada.
02:53Because he thought that was pomegranate drink.
02:57Granada.
02:58No.
02:59The waiter took the note as a threat, fearing the customer had a grenade, and ran to the
03:05back and called the police immediately.
03:07Yeah, he didn't bargain on that.
03:09That's for sure.
03:10That's why it's best just to point at the...
03:12I do that here.
03:14I do that here.
03:15Dolla Rita.
03:17I'm like, oh, God.
03:17Dolla Rita.
03:18That's one right here.
03:19Got it?
03:20Dolla Rita.
03:21The one, no onions.
03:24Yeah.
03:24That one, but no onions.
03:26Thank you very much.
03:26I'm not sure how to say that.
03:29I'm not going to say it.
03:30I'm not.
03:30You mean triple cheeseburger, sir?
03:31I'm not going to say that.
03:34Whatever that is.
03:36Yeah, what are you ordering you can't pronounce?
03:38So much.
03:39Roast beef.
03:41Yeah, like...
03:42Roast beef.
03:43Le frais curlie.
03:45Steak with a frites.
03:47I don't know.
03:48Yeah, that's right.
03:48I don't know.
03:49I'm not sure what that is.
03:51Steak of frites.
03:52Yeah, whatever those are.
03:54I'll take those if they're not gross.
03:56The tourist was ordered to come out of the restaurant and lie face down on the ground in
04:01the street as five armed police officers approached and immobilized him.
04:06So how confused is he?
04:07He just asked for a pomegranate drink.
04:09The next thing you know, he's being ordered outside on the ground on his stomach as they're
04:14cuffing him and rushing towards him.
04:17And now it's an international incident because you've been arrested in a foreign land.
04:22And you wrote it down.
04:23You wrote it down.
04:24They're like, it's right here.
04:25Look.
04:26You wrote down a grenade.
04:27No, no.
04:28I meant pomegranate drink.
04:30No, no, no.
04:30I meant pomegranate drink.
04:31Shut up.
04:32You're a moron.
04:33Pomegranate drink.
04:34You wrote down a grenade.
04:36No, one.
04:36Case closed.
04:37I love pomegranate juice.
04:38Case closed.
04:38Get in jail.
04:40Since your day.
04:41No, mistake.
04:42Goodbye, since your day forever.
04:46Just place one pomegranate drink.
04:48You call.
04:49Pomegranate.
04:50Dumbass.
04:53I don't come to your place.
04:57You go home.
04:58I can't come to work because I was trying to order a pomegranate drink.
05:00Pomegranate drink.
05:01Pomegranate drink.
05:01Pomegranate drink.
05:04Made a big boo-boo, guys.
05:07Tried to get a delicious pomegranate drink.
05:11It's very healthy.
05:11I don't know if you know this.
05:12It's very healthy for you.
05:13But I wrote down grenade to cut to the chase.
05:20I wrote down grenade.
05:21I handed it to the small gentleman.
05:23And he ran away.
05:26I thought, wow, this is great service.
05:28He is running for his life to get me this drink.
05:32And then five cops tased me, put me on my belly outside, and shackled me.
05:39And I'm in jail right now.
05:40This is my one phone call.
05:43Didn't know who else to call.
05:48Let Amber know.
05:51He was taken to a nearby police station for interrogation.
05:54He was later released after they found out it was all a big mix-up.
05:57But not before they searched his hotel room.
06:01They did a thorough inspection of the restaurant.
06:04And they searched their databases and consulted sources from Portugal's
06:08Anti-Terrorism Coordination Unit.
06:10Could you even imagine you do this by mistake, but then you, like,
06:13get put on a list?
06:15Because they've used you.
06:17They've looked all your stuff up now on a terrorist list.
06:19An anti-terrorism.
06:20Because I tried to order a pomegranate drink in their language.
06:23Oh, and it just ruins, like, travel for you for the rest of your life.
06:26You're probably trying to explain that to everyone.
06:28It is a nightmare.
06:30I'm on the list because I tried to order a pomegranate drink.
06:34I'm going to be honest.
06:35I tried to order a pomegranate drink, but I was trying to use their dialect.
06:43I wanted to make them feel at home.
06:45You imagined explaining that to your prison mate?
06:50Oh, my God.
06:51What are you in for?
06:52Yeah.
06:53I am going to teach you a lesson.
06:55Just honestly, it's just a really big mix-up.
06:57Mr. Pomegranate.
06:58I just wanted some pomegranate juice.
07:00Yeah.
07:00I don't know what happened.
07:01I want your pomegranate juice.
07:02Oh, no.
07:03I'm going to juice you.
07:04Okay.
07:06Oh, no, he's turned.
07:07Yeah, well, you can't go to jail.
07:09Nope.
07:10Don't go to jail.
07:10Don't go to jail.
07:11They juice you in jail.
07:12Oh, no.
07:14Don't juice me.
07:16Please.
07:16Don't take my juice.
07:18He's going to.
07:19Zorro's going to juice you.
07:21No.
07:21No.
07:22Yeah, Barry, look at it.
07:23Here he comes.
