Skypains, out of here. Hey, Tatties, welcome to a Friday episode of Dumb People Town.
Population new.
Population Felber.
Adam Felber, welcome to the show. Welcomeulation new. Population Felber. Welcome to the show.
Welcome to our show, Adam Felber.
It's so good to be here, even though you guys record.
We're glad to have you here.
No, we were talking before we started, Adam,
about what a joy it is to be sitting at a table with you, sir.
This is crazy.
And hanging out.
For the last two years, probably I've done 150 shows
out of my bedroom.
First time I'm actually looking people in the non-virtual eye.
And before that, it was –
Dumb People Town is meant to be lived in.
It really feels like it.
Before that, the only other table you said it was the red table discussion with Jada Pinkett Smith, which was very controversial.
It didn't go well.
It didn't go well.
Well, she attacked you and your bald head.
You took it.
I didn't like that.
You took it.
No, I didn't return serve on that.
No, you did not.
No, I did not.
Hit it right into the net.
Mr. Felber has done, he's
written on Real Time with Bill Maher.
He's on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, which is all about
speed and response. Sure.
His skill set is perfectly designed.
You are perfectly engineered, sir, for this.
Wow, now I've got the yips.
No, no, no. Just enjoy.
I just threw one into the stands.
We get stories sent in from our listeners.
They do that by going to Twitter, which I know, dangerous place to navigate.
So is Dumb People Town.
At Daniel Van Kirk.
Hashtag Dumb People Town.
It gives an order for who sent it first.
So who sent this one?
Carleen McDermott at SheBeCarleen.
Props to Carleen who just finished a cancer walk.
I know it was on Twitter.
Yeah.
And some of our townies supported her.
They did.
That's great.
She's the person who sent stuff in, so it's like friends helping friends.
She's like a known commodity in this community.
I love her.
I love her.
Just like us, good things can come out of dumb people, Tom.
That's right.
Thank you.
Right?
Yes.
All right, here's the headline.
Police hunt couple.
What?
I know.
Wait, stop.
Stop right there.
It's like surviving the game.
Is that legal?
Yeah.
Wasn't that the Ice-T movie?
Ice-T surviving the game?
Nick Nolte?
I don't know.
It might have been.
Yes.
What state is this?
What are we doing tonight?
We're hunting couples.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Dan, when is couple hunting?
We're in Wiltshire.
This is over across the pond.
When is couple hunting season?
Is it Valentine's Day?
It starts Valentine's Day?
It depends on how many tags.
How many tags?
Once a year, it's triplet hunting.
I like to do the hunt.
You hunt them.
It's just catch and release.
You release them back out into another barn.
Search for.
Oh, my God.
No, that's good eating.
Couples are settling in a little bit.
You know, they're softening up a little.
I'll fix it.
Police search for a couple who ate, then refused to pay.
How many times have you gotten such bad service that you were like, let's just leave?
I don't think they want us to Dan I will tell you that the other day
I took my son and his friend
Skateboarding down in Orange County
Because I'm a hero
You are
And I took them to Handel's Ice Cream
Which is the best ice cream in Southern California
We all got our ice cream
It was a long process
It's great because you order one scoop and they give you like 15.
No, I literally were like, we're going to ask for less.
We just want two.
We don't want three and a half.
And they're like, but you have to pay for three and a half.
And I'm like, I know, but we won't finish it.
Save it.
So it's a whole discussion.
We get our ice cream after.
It takes a while.
There's a line and stuff like that.
We take our ice cream and we just start walking to the car.
I forgot to pay.
So you go back?
So I went back in and I paid.
He said, oh.
Morally, you wanted me to leave.
Yeah, but maybe that's what happened to these guys.
Or this was a conscious.
This was very conscious.
Are these like cereal dine-in dashers?
Well, we'll find out.
Police are looking for a couple who devoured a large meal, then refused to pay, claiming
they had
completed an eating challenge.
That doesn't exempt you.
So they ordered a whole bunch of food, and they were like, no, we completed a challenge,
so it's free.
I would love to find the restaurant manager that that works on.
Yes, well, congratulations on that, and have a good night.
I can't defend that loophole.
You don't have to give me a shirt, but it is free.
I ate it all. I don't need a shirt. Put give me a shirt, but it is free. I ate it all.
I don't need a shirt.
Put my name on the toilet bowl on the wall.
I finished it.
If I were the manager, and if any of us, and we all have worked in those types of jobs.
You and I were dishwashers at a restaurant.
Dan, I'm sure you worked at a restaurant.
I've worked in tons of restaurants.
Busboy and waiter.
I've bussed.
If we were the manager of that restaurant, to me, I would walk over to that person and I'd want to know everything about the challenge.
I want to know when did this challenge come.
I have one here.
That's where the plot thickens.
The pair had asked if they could do the challenge at a burger restaurant, but had been told
it wasn't available because it had to be pre-booked.
You got to pre-book the challenge.
Instead, according to staff, they ordered the required amount of food, ate it all, then refused to pay the bill saying, hey, we completed your challenge.
You didn't pre-book it.
That's part of the challenge.
Is there a challenge, though?
The restaurant has this challenge.
They have a challenge.
And if you eat it all in a certain amount of time.
It's a foresight challenge, too.
We've told this story on this before.
Our friend Eric Friedman, who you know very well.
Do you know Eric Friedman?
Our friend we lived with in New York.
He's a great writer, wonderful writer.
He was at Cornell with his group of friends,
and there was a steakhouse there.
I forgot the name of it.
But if you ate, you get an hour to complete a 72-ounce steak.
This was my question.
It's probably called gorgeous.
If any of you have got gorgeous.
Ah, that's it.
72-ounce?
You want to commit suicide after you have it.
72-ounce steak?
72-ounce steak. Including gristle? Are we talking like- Gristle. They take it back to. 72 ounce? You want to commit suicide after you have it. 72 ounce? 72 ounce steak.
Including gristle?
Gristle.
They take it back to the kitchen and scrape off the stuff.
And sides.
And if you can do it within an hour, you get your name on a toilet bowl plaque that hangs.
Oh, that's what you were referencing.
That's what I was referencing.
Okay.
So, their friend Dan, who is really funny, started eating the steak.
That tracks.
Started eating the steak.
More of a Daniel. the more steak they ate
I mean this was directly inversely proportional
the more steak he ate
the less funny he got
he completely lost the sense of his ability to make a joke
do you feel you can go on stage
and be very funny if you're very full
oh I've made that mistake so many times
we're in another city and we're like
you like to be hungry right
or not full.
Not starving because then you're faint, right?
Right.
Not full.
But not full.
Yeah, but I mean, if you've really eaten a great meal, you are going to suck.
Yeah.
You're just going to be, you're going to.
So I'm assuming this challenge is something like that.
Okay, side question though that you just made me think of.
Yeah.
Any of you guys ever perform on stage in shorts?
Wow. Yes. Once. You perform on stage in shorts? Wow.
Yes.
Once.
You have?
I'll tell you what we did.
At the FYF Fest.
Was that a destination comedy show?
On a beach at a wedding.
No, at the FYF Fest
in the summertime
when it was like
Oh, we went to that together.
It was like 100 degrees
inside of a tent.
Totally acceptable.
I have performed on stage
in shorts with a band.
What?
Not as a comedy performer.
Okay, yeah.
Still fine.
I mean, it works for a big J.
You?
I was in shorts at that same event.
You were the same thing?
Yeah, we were.
Well, at least you both did it.
We both were in shorts.
Because if one of you had, the other person would have to talk about how the other one
was wearing.
I think I had just had hemorrhoid surgery or something.
I was in so much pain.
That's a whole other challenge.
I don't know if I can get up on the stage.
That's a whole other challenge.
But let's be honest.
There was also like a jacket and a hat, like a full Angus Young schoolboy thing going on, right?
Thank you.
For sure.
Which, by the way, dumbest choice ever he could have made.
I know.
It's like in a movie scene when you take a huge bite of something and you swallow it,
you're like, why'd you do that?
You don't have to do that 17 times.
That's why you never swallow on camera.
That's what Angus Young did at the very beginning.
It's like, yeah, you look like a schoolboy now, but when you're 72.
Which he is.
You look like an idiot.
Yeah.
So wait, you've never done an eating challenge?
Never. Did we finish
the story about your friend? Did he eat the steak?
He did, and he finished
it, and Dan Hammond got his name
on the plaque. Dan Hampton?
Hammond. I know. Indiana?
Wait, so he got his name on it.
But you've never done an eating challenge? Never
Never
We could have, Dan
You know us in high school
Old 10 tacos each
Yeah
And 11 cheeseburgers at Michigan
I could have dusted 20 tacos
You ate 11 cheeseburgers at Michigan?
When they were 39 cents at McDonald's
11
11
Just for like the day
Not out of bad or a dare
You were just like, I'm still going
For my dinner I was like Wow Give were just like, I'm still going. For my dinner.
I was like, give me 11.
At Michigan.
I'm proud of you.
I had some big fast food orders around that age who didn't, but 11 is a lot.
I took it to task.
I could have won a challenge.
All right, so what was this challenge?
I would like to say.
Oh, Dan, have you eaten a challenge?
I remember there's this memory.
My friend Joe Rice, who comes to a lot of Chicago comedy shows,
he let me live with him for a while before I saved up money to move to L.A.
Nice.
Great guy.
Just a mensch.
He tells the story.
He remembers it more than me that me and my cousin Kenny and my cousin Melissa
were in a soda drinking challenge.
It was like a two liter of soda at a church function at first presbyterian in rochelle
illinois i mean you're not going to drink the blood of christ and i don't remember this i won
maybe you won the contest i guess i won if you ask joe rice how many liters of soda did you well
it's just a one two how fast i don't remember but i know that kenny that does bad things to you per
joe rice's memory kenny and mel Melissa instantly started vomiting when it was over.
And he said it – to this day, he laughs about it with such joy of how hilarious it was.
Me not remembering it, it makes me laugh thinking about Joe Rice telling me the story of when it happened.
You know, I was part of a de facto eating challenge.
Which was what?
Which was – I think I was around – it was around when I was in college.
I was spending a Fourth of July in Manhattan,
and we went to have, like seven of us,
went to have lunch at one of those restaurants,
Indian Restaurant Row.
Yes.
Like Sixth Street or something.
Penang, Penang 2.
And we all ordered chicken vindaloo.
Oh, God.
And one of my friends said,
and don't make it like the wimpy kind.
Oh.
Why? Don't do that. Why? Don't do that at an Indian restaurant. You don't make it like the wimpy kind. Why?
Don't do that. Why?
Don't do that at an Indian restaurant.
You don't challenge.
And he did.
An Indian restaurant.
And he did it to all of us.
I'm not lying when I say that the kitchen staff came to the door to watch us try to eat it.
We were the only ones in the restaurant.
I had no idea the passage to India was through my asshole.
Police have now issued CCTV images of a man and woman they want to speak to in connection with the incident.
It's being treated as a theft.
You haven't found them yet?
The incident happened at Bite Me Burger in Marlborough, Wiltshire on the 5th of February.
Bite Me Burger.
Dude, I looked it up.
Is it good?
It looks really good.
Oh, my God.
Owner Simon Whetton said, we do something called the Burger Challenge.
Don't do it.
That's a dumb idea.
Which is, if you can eat how many burgers in how many minutes, the bill is on us.
So I'm going to ask you guys, how many burgers in how many minutes?
What do you think, Adam?
How many burgers?
You've been to the website, so you know what the size of these burgers is.
It could be White Castle.
I don't think it's White Castle.
Don't consider them large.
Do not consider them large.
I'll give you that.
I'm going to go 15 and 15.
Okay.
15 and 15.
Jason?
I'm going to say like 30 and 30.
Oh, good doc.
Really?
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to say 20 burgers in 10 minutes.
20 burgers in 10 minutes.
So you got to go two a minute. Two a minute. Okay. We're going to take a burgers in 10 minutes. 20 burgers in 10 minutes? So you've got to go two a minute.
Two a minute.
Okay.
We're going to take a break.
Oh, God.
When we come back, we'll find out how many burgers in how many minutes with you have
to pre-plan that you're going to be there and do it.
Do you have to have all the fixings on the burgers too?
I think so.
You can't just have them plain?
Fries?
Are there fries?
Yeah.
I don't know that there's fries.
I think it's just burgers.
But we'll get into how many burgers.
I wouldn't do it without pickles.
I'm kind of hungry right now.
Plus everything Adam has going on on plus everything we have going on
right after this stick around make a sound there's more don't people town
hey guys welcome back to the show our guest is the great alan felber one of our
favorite people in comedy and just a brilliant writer
and just a wonderful talent.
And you've got a couple podcasts going right now.
I love the Paula Poundstone podcast you are a part of, but you have this other dad band
podcast that I'm like, tell me about it because I have images of you back in the day playing
keyboards at Yale Triple N.
It's exactly that.
Thank you.
Not exactly that, but it's related to that.
Thank you.
In that, it's called Dad Band Land.
Love it.
And if you're an obsessive music fan, this is your podcast because it is obsessive music Thank you. Not exactly that, but it's related to that. Thank you. In that it's called Dad Band Land. Love it.
And if you're an obsessive music fan, this is your podcast.
Because it is obsessive music talk from the point of view of a neighborhood cover band.
Because I'm in a neighborhood cover band.
You are? What is your favorite stuff to play?
What's your wheelhouse?
What do you guys cover?
Well, the hardest song we covered.
We talked about this like three episodes ago.
Steely Dan.
No.
I proposed it.
You proposed it?
Dude, you could do Peg. No. It's hard, Steely Dan. No, I proposed it. You proposed it? Dude, you could do peg.
No.
It's hard, Steely Dan.
I could do peg.
You could do peg.
I don't think our bass player could do it.
Peg is hard.
Dumb People Town, out of context.
Jason Sklar.
You could do peg.
You guys enjoy pegging, right?
You like pegging.
That's what we call that.
Do you know pegging?
Yeah.
So the hardest one that we did was we did Squeeze, Tempted.
What do you love? What do you love
to play? What is your guys' era?
The wheelhouse for these guys, they're all guitarists, so they
always pick songs that don't have keyboards in them.
And you have to work your way up. Son of a bitch!
I know, they do that all the time.
All the Squeeze stuff is great for keyboards.
This is a cool story. We were doing Tom Petty's
Running Down a Dream.
Which, by the way, is one of the only Tom Petty songs
that doesn't have the great Ben Montench playing keyboards on it.
There's no keyboards on that song.
Yeah, it's all guitar and hard-driving bass.
It's from Full Moon Fever, which was our first CD.
The first CD we ever bought.
Really?
My first CD was the Bodyguard soundtrack.
I will always love that CD.
That is a great CD
That song came up on a recent Dad Band Land
Because the topic of conversation was
Covers that are better than the original
Dude
I don't know
Dolly
That whole album slaps
So there was a Dolly Parton documentary on PBS
And I was like
I just want to see it for the old footage
Of like her Doing Jolene Yeah I saw her doing Jolene on a PBS, and I was like, I just want to see it for the old footage of her.
Doing Jolene?
Yeah.
I saw her doing Jolene on a TV show, and I was like, oh, my God.
First of all, she's so cute. She's the best.
She was so cute.
And now she looks like an alien, but God bless her.
But she was so cute.
You're going to get letters.
I love her.
So what?
I don't care.
Didn't she make a comment about the juice?
No, she didn't.
I'm kidding.
You're going to get a letter.
You have a feeling that you want to be able to shit on somebody a little bit?
I'm not shitting on her.
I know what I'm saying, but he wanted to justify those parts.
I was like, this is the cutest person I've ever seen in my entire life.
And please, Jolene, don't take her man.
I love you.
Yeah, I hear you.
You know, she wrote Jolene on the exact same day that she wrote
I Will Always Love You.
Jeez.
Both songs, same day.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not kidding you.
So when do the episodes
drop each week?
They drop on Friday each week.
It's a great weekend listen
because you know what
I include in a little description?
You know how here
at Starburst.
Sure.
A little description.
I include a link
to the playlist on Apple Music.
Oh, that's great.
We make a playlist
for every episode.
That's awesome.
This is what we're talking about.
And we've had some special guests.
Are you guys familiar with Ninja Sex Party?
No.
I've been to it already.
Sounds like a story.
One of the funniest best bands in the world.
Oh, my God.
I love it.
And I think you guys drop on, like, Thursday, right?
Yeah.

Oh, okay.
So I think on the day that this drops, we'll drop our episode with Ninja Brian from Ninja Sex Party.
And if this drops after that, go back in the catalog.
Go back and listen to it.
This stuff is archived.
It's not live.
Dad banned land.
Here's what Tali Partey said.
Oh, God.
I did?
No.
She did apologize for it.
No, Jay.
But she said, but everybody's afraid to touch anything that's religious because most of the people out here are Jewish.
And it's a frightening thing for them to promote.
I mean, is she wrong?
Absolutely.
Is she wrong?
Christianity.
And then Abe Foxman stepped in.
Uh-uh, bitch.
You don't say that.
And then she had to apologize.
Adam Felber, you also have, I'm going to plug this for you, a book, Confessions of a Puppet Master.
Incredible.
Please tell us real briefly how people get this and what it's about.
You can get it anywhere you get books.
Maybe you've heard, this is a memoir that I co-wrote, but you can see my name on that cover,
of noted B-movie legend Charles Band, the guy behind the Puppet Master movies.
His life is just crazy, insanely crazy, and this book is about it.
The memoir of that.
Dude, I'm looking for a good summer read.
So Confessions of a Puppet Master, Charles Band with Adam Felber.
Go pick it up wherever you get books.
Are you ready to figure out burgers in minutes?
Let's figure out burgers in minutes.
Okay.
Well, to run it back, Adam, what did you say?
Well, I said 15 and 15.
Okay.
I said 30 and 30.
I don't think I really thought through the idea that the numbers didn't both have to be the same.
You want to change?
You want to change?
You can change. You can change now because we don't know the answer yet.
I'm going to stand by my man.
Okay.
30 and 30.
Randy said 20 and 10.
I'm going to stand by my man-witch.
Okay.
Remember, it's a man-witch night.
I remember the man-witch.
If you can eat 12 burgers in six minutes.
Oh, my God.
I was kind of right.
Well, yeah.
I said 20 and 10. Right. Wow. You were close. In college, I could have. 12 burgers in six minutes. 12 burgers in six minutes. Oh, my God. I was kind of right. Well, yeah. I said 20 in 10.
Right.
Wow.
You were close.
In college, I could have.
12 burgers in six minutes.
12 burgers in six minutes.
Okay, so here's my question.
This is the restaurant that has the challenge, right?
Yeah.
When a couple walks in and each of them order 12 burgers, how does this restaurant not know
that they're trying to do the challenge?
They're going to walk out.
I will tell you.
I love it.
This is a good point.
So, Simon Welton said, but to do the burger challenge,
it has to be prearranged,
as we have to be on hand to time it properly.
That's right.
These people said they wanted to do the challenge,
but it was Saturday night.
We were very busy,
and we didn't have the staff or the time to time it.
It's meant to be prearranged.
Are you hostessing tonight, or are you timing, Peggy?
Also, it's like, dude, we get it.
Prearranged.
Peggy. So, we said that, unfortunately, they couldn't do the challenge.
They still ordered 12 burgers
and said they wanted to do the challenge.
Wait, wait, wait. They ordered 12
burgers together? Each, I think.
It has to be each, right? It has to be each.
They want to do the challenge. So we'll take 24
burgers worth of free food.
But you're not doing the challenge. Imagine eating 12
burgers in six minutes, though.
And these burgers had to be about, what, five bucks each?
I have no idea.
We'll get into that.
We explained, sorry, that was just not practical.
But when it came time to pay,
they said they had done the challenge
in six minutes and would not pay for the burgers
and the bill was on us.
I don't like this.
I don't like it either.
People are like, oh, the rules?
They told you ahead of time.
We're not going to follow the rules.
It's not like they said, do it if you want, and they're like, oh, we're not going to honor it.
No, they told you.
Prearrange, baby.
It's a nice thing that this restaurant is offering, I think.
It's like a wonderful challenge for people if you really want to be.
I don't find anything wonderful about it, but they're doing it.
They're the Rosa Parks of hamburger challenges.
He said the staff tried to explain again,
but when the waitress went to get the manager,
the couple had walked out.
Boo.
Don't ever get the manager. They didn't run out.
They walked out.
Walked on out.
After 12 burgers, you've got to waddle out.
Simon went and said he called them
and asked them to come back and pay the bill.
How he has their number, I have no idea.
I may have called after them.
But they hung up.
I feel like there's more to this case that we don't know.
No, they hung up.
But they hung up and threatened to attack the restaurant on social media.
What?
It's like, you guys stole.
That's right.
You stole food.
As it happens, I could see from the CCTV footage that it is crystal clear they didn't eat the burgers in six minutes, even though it was not prearranged.
Wow.
So they didn't know that this shit was going to be timed.
Two things. Jesus. Simon just recently learned pre-arranged and he will not
stop saying it pre-arranged secondly so you are saying you could have timed them because you're
saying you timed them well there's security footage and all the security footage was so he's
like sorry you guys can't do it we don't have time to time you and then even though i don't agree
with them walking out on their bill, he did end up timing them.
All the security footage was pre-arranged.
It makes you feel like the timing
personnel at that restaurant might be redundant.
They might have to be downsized now that they know they have the security cameras.
That's the person who loses the most
in this scenario.
The incident has now been reported to
police who have launched an investigation
and urged anyone with information
to call them. What's the investigation?
You have witnesses. You have
footage. You have an unpaid bill.
You have a confession. Right.
Like predetermined. Yeah, we didn't
pay. And we're not going to pay.
They told you that. We have a different
view of what our rules
versus your rules. There's nothing that needs to be
investigated. Nothing. Simon Witten said,
I don't want to waste police time or that of the courts.
But on top of all that,
restaurants have gone through,
what restaurants have gone through with the lockdown,
this is a matter of principle
and people should not be allowed to get away with it.
These people should never be allowed.
I think people should be yelped.
People should be yelped.
That is so good.
No, it's the Black Mirror episode.
It's the Black Mirror episode with Dallas Clark Johnson.
Dallas Bryce Howard. Dallas Bryce Dallas Clark Johnson. Dallas Price.
Dallas Price Howard Clark Johnson. Every single freaking idea.
It's a Black Mirror episode.
But I'm just saying, you walk in and they're like, no, we're not going to have these people in here.
We know about how you stepped out on the challenge.
Sure.
All right, we'll get out of here on this.
Yes.
It should be associated with their phone numbers.
Did they get the money back, Dan?
No, not yet.
It's still pending.
Yes, it's still pending. An investigation. This is back, Dan? It's still pending. Yes.
Still pending.
In investigation.
This is when you go after and garnish either wages.
Okay.
If you're a Patreon member, this isn't going to happen for you. And they had to eat the garnish.
They had to eat all the garnished wages.
12 garnishes.
Because Adam Felber is going to stick around and tell a little dumb story from his own
life.
You can only get that by being a member of our Patreon.
Okay.
But I'll ask you before we go.
Yes.
To the Patreon.
How much money?
How much was the bill they walked out on?
Okay, it's 24 burgers, but they're small burgers.
Right.
And don't forget, this is in pound sterling again, right?
It's not euros anymore.
I'll be honest with you.
They never said that they didn't share the 12.
So they could be so wild that they were like, we both ate 12 burgers in six minutes.
Who knows how wild these people are?
You can't use two mouths on 12 burgers.
But you're right.
You're right.
This would be converted into dollars.
Two mouths on 12 burgers looks like something your friend wants you to Google, and you shouldn't.
It's like an old Kinks album.
Hey, what?
This has been converted into dollars?
Yes.
Oh, it's a dollar.
It is converted into dollars.
Their bill was $49.
Those are cheap burgers.
Cheap burgers.
Wow, really cheap.
Jay, before you give your guess,
you didn't give any plugs for you and your brother.
We'll be at Moon Tower with you.
But this might air before or after.
We don't know.
But if it does at the end of April,
we'll be at the Moon Tower County Festival
doing a live Dumb People Town.
We're doing our show Tag It,
which is a wonderful stand up show
where our friends
do stand up
Jay and I are
feverishly writing tags
while they're doing
their thing
and then we come
on stage afterwards
and we pitch them
our tags
it is so
collaborative
and fun
and we love that
so we'll be doing it
maybe a couple times
and in Seattle
we haven't been in Seattle
in forever
like it's been at least
six or seven years
we're doing the Crocodile
which is
we talked to Nick Thune
he said it's an amazing club
our friend Bestelling
is there this weekend as we're recording this this weekend.
So please, please, please go get tickets.
We'd love to sell those shows.
Superschoolers.com?
Superschoolers.com, but that's May 13th and 14th.
Okay, what's your guess, Jason?
I'm going to say $82.
$82.
That's an expensive burger.
It is.
I actually think it's $98.
This is an expensive.
So are you guys guessing $12 or $24?
$24. Oh, no. Actually, let me say $105. Oh, that's right. I'm's $98. This is inexpensive. So are you guys guessing $12 or $24? $24.
Oh, no.
Actually, let me say $105.
Oh, that's right.
I'm guessing $24.
I think $24.
I think it's $105.
Okay.
No, there's no way I'm right if it's $24.
Yeah, you want to change your answer?
I'll double it.
What are you going?
You say $96?
$96.
Okay.
$98.
$98.
So $98 from Adam Jason.
$84.
$84.
$105. $105. 84. 84. 105.
105.
Before I reveal this, I will tell everybody, go to DanielVanKirk.com because I'm going
to be at Moon Tower with these boys doing a live Dumb People Town and a live Pen Pals
and the Living Wake of Chris Redd.
That is going to be a great show you'll be able to see on Saturday night.
Plus, I am in the South.
Atlanta, Asheville, and Savannah, as well as San Antonio, New Orleans, and Mobile.
That's all at DanielVvankirk.com.
You've got to go to that record store in Mobile, Alabama.
There's an old record store and a guy who used to be an Australian punk artist
who runs it, and he's so cool.
I will.
Wow, that's a good plug.
I will.
Okay, ready?
Yes.
I don't have a chance.
They put the Sklar Crunch on it.
There's a tiny little band that I could be right in.
You might be right.
You can alter.
No, no, no.
I'm staying right here.
Okay.
The amount of money
for them to do
an unofficial
burger,
bite me burger challenge.
They said bite me
to the restaurant.
Which they didn't even complete
in the time allotted
and they definitely
didn't prearrange.
And they probably
used two mouths.
Liars and thieves.
It's $228.59.
Ahooga. Ran. Wow, man. I didn't think I went high enough. Yeah.228.59. Ahooga.
Ran.
Wow.
I didn't think I went high enough.
I didn't think I went high enough.
Holy crap.
We walked out on a big bill, assholes.
Don't do a challenge if the challenge isn't prearranged.
We've learned that now.
Sure.
A bite me burger looks good.
You've got to prearrange everything.
Prearrange those challenges.
Adam Felber, thank you so much.
I want everyone to go check out Dad Band Land, his new podcast, and listen to him on the
Paula Poundstone.
What's it? It's the Paula Poundstone. What is it?
It's the Paula Poundstone.
It is.
Nobody listens to Paula Poundstone.
It's me and Paula and a book club, and it's fun.
That's great.
She's been on this podcast, and she was amazing.
She's the best.
Love it.
Love that.
Check that out.
