Well, Canada's not. Canada's just like a Rush song.
Starting point is 00:01:16 But Montreal. Canada's the United States in 1978, essentially, is what that is. Yeah, I mean, I got to go back. Sure. Toronto feels very like hybrid New York, Chicago, like Chicago North. Yes, very Chicago North. That's a great way to describe it.

Oh, yeah, Andy Hainsey talks about it. And you would never know. Oh, yeah, Andy talks about it. I support it, but the thing about this story is like,
Starting point is 00:07:15 if you're going to commit to having fake hair, put in the money, make it worth it. Yeah, 100%. Don't let it be sliding off your head. That's embarrassing. I don't want to be married to someone who can't even responsibly get a hair. And that's why I worth it. Don't let it be sliding off your head. That's embarrassing. I don't want to be married to someone who can't even responsibly get a hair. Exactly. And that's why I support it.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Okay, here's what happened. I'll read it. A bride in India reportedly called off her wedding upon learning that her groom was bald. According to India Today, the wedding ceremony was underway and I'm going to try to do my best. Uttar Pradesh, India.
Starting point is 00:07:45 That's good. When the groom fainted on his way to the altar, when he fell, said the outlet, his wig fell off, revealing his baldness. Okay, this is such... This is why you don't have an arranged marriage. Oh, well, arranged marriages are still common in the Indian subcontinent,
Starting point is 00:08:01 and the Times of India reported in March that around what percentage of people in the Indian subcontinent, and the Times of India reported in March that around what percentage of people in the country opt for a marriage arranged by family members or matchmakers? So I'm just going to have you guess. What percentage of people do you think in this subcontinent of India are still doing matchmaking? I think a lot. Okay. I'm going to give me a number. I'm going to make that one.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Okay. We'll go first. Jay, what do you think? I think 60%. Okay. Oh, I think it's like 37%. What? What do you think?
Starting point is 00:08:29 You think more than 60%? More than 60%? Go with your gut. I'm going to go 77%. Wow. Okay. And if I'm wrong, this podcast is over. I'm watching it.
Starting point is 00:08:40 The Times of India reported in March that around 85%- Oh! I was going to go higher, but I got nervous. I saw you start to go at it. I was about to say 90%. Oh, really? I thought you were going to go in the 80s. You still win. Dana, how could I be?
Starting point is 00:08:54 I believed in you. This is my podcast. 85? I know. You own it now. See, that's the thing. Everyone who does, for the most part, people who do arrange, I want to get arranged marriage. Right?
Starting point is 00:09:03 You want someone else to work it out for you. Yeah, because then you're just like because here's the thing marriage you guys know after time you're like who is this my anniversary today 18th anniversary today who is this person next to me and you like well after a while you just feel you
Starting point is 00:09:17 have kids I mean I don't know I've never been married or had children or anything describing it to a team no but you are nailing it but it's like after you have kids it stops even becoming like you meet because you're like, they're sexy and I just want to bone them all the time. And then after a while, you're like, this is a business. It becomes like a business relationship. Dude, 90% of my relationship with my wife is logistics.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Yes. I'm like, did you pick this up over here and got to take this over here? I'm going to the store to pick this up. You got to move the car over here. Also, if it's an arranged marriage, you never have to second guess yourself. You second guess other people. Somebody did this wrong. Yeah, this up. You've got to move the car over here. Also, if it's an arranged marriage, you never have to second guess yourself. You second guess other people. Somebody did this wrong. Yeah, you just –
Starting point is 00:09:47 You have someone to blame. And then you look at them and you go, hey, look, we both – they did this to us. We're just trying to make it work. So you could do – it's not – you know, it's not me. It's you. There's not that. It's them. It's not us.
Starting point is 00:09:56 It's that person. It's my uncle. Yeah. I think arranged marriages are beautiful because there's no, like, expectations besides, like, we're sticking together no matter what and then if something does arise like you get to build your relationship through this like weird
Starting point is 00:10:11 circumstance I think it's great. There you go so 85% of people so he's arranged had he met this person well in this case neither the bride nor the family the bride nor her family knew that the groom was bald upset the bride, the bride nor her family knew that the groom was bald. Upset, the bride called the ceremony off mid-ceremony. Why are you going to be upset about that?
Starting point is 00:10:29 Why are you going to be upset about that? I don't, this is the- You can't change him? I don't like being tricked. Tricked is one thing. If you're going to get married, it has to be based on a foundation of trust. If you're going to be arranged marriage- This is the picture that they use in the-
Starting point is 00:10:42 Oh, God. Like, the bald shaming also is so out of control. So our buddy Goldie, Julia Sharp, wrote a fantastic book about baldness. So you're going bald? So you're going bald. It's so good and it's so smart. And Larry David talks about it all the time. And it's just like, yeah, I actually think bald is –
Starting point is 00:11:01 I've seen so many people pull it off and make it look super cool. Yeah. I think bald dudes – Dan, you're one of them. I'm just saying that like I've seen so many people pull it off and make it look super cool yeah i think bald dudes dan you're one of them i'm just saying that like i've seen so many dudes will smith's wife okay there you go you better take that out of your mouth the bride's family begged her to reconsider however she maintained her refusal said india today as a result the matter was taken to the police and eventually i'm trying here a panchayat meeting was called i'm doing my best people you're doing great britannica the encyclopedia i don't know explained that a
Starting point is 00:11:36 panchayat is the most important adjudicating and licensing agency in the self-government of the indian caste okay consisting of five or more members the panchayat cites as a court of law. So you go to them to go. What do we do here? Right. Cases are heard in open meetings in which all members of the caste group concerned are entitled to take part. Types of offenses adjudicated in meetings of the panchayat are breaches of eating, drinking,
Starting point is 00:12:02 or smoking restrictions, infractions of marriage rules, breaches of caste, customs, and feasts, breaches of its trade rules, and so on. During the Pinchayat meeting, the bride and groom's respective families agreed to call off the wedding between their children. Additionally, the groom's family was forced to cover the cost of the wedding. So that sucks that the groom's family had to cover the cost of the wedding. But the deal is and now is it going to mean he won't be able to No, no.
Starting point is 00:12:28 I think he has to go forward and be his bald self. Well, I think this is where I'm showing my lack of knowledge on this. You must say hey, I'm willing you can arrange a marriage for me.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Here's what I want. Right. And then you find someone who wants the things you have and they have the things you want. And so she's just saying like, this was on my list. Do you think it was on her list? Well, I mean, I feel like she.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I feel like it would have to be to feel entitled to call it off. I feel like it wasn't on her list or else he would have. But maybe it was on her list and he's like, she'll never know. How do you think she's never going to know? And if you're arguing for her, begging her to come and marry you, that's a terrible place to be in a marriage. To be like, I'm begging you to do me this favor and marry me. Yeah, you got to let her go. You got to let her go.
Starting point is 00:13:13 You want to find someone who loves you for your baldness. Exactly. I want to tell this guy, like, Dan, you're a bit about shaving your back. Sure. Shaving your back. That's real love. That's real love. When someone's shaving the back for you, that's real love.
Starting point is 00:13:26 That is real love. They've taken you for who you are. Exactly. You know that there's none of this. So keep your shit clean. If it wasn't this, something else is going to be wrong. Okay. During the meeting, right, they were forced to cover the cost of wedding.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Speaking to local media, the bride's uncle said the groom's family should not have hidden the fact that the groom was bald. If they would have told us about the groom's baldness, we could have mentally prepared the bride and she would not have been shocked. You cannot expect a marriage to start on a falsehood. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying too. But I think now that we keep getting more and more into the story,
Starting point is 00:14:01 I'm like, this can't be the first time this has happened to the guy. There must have been something that caused this man to be like, I got to do the bald cap this time or the wig. And he was obviously so nervous he fainted walking up to the altar. Yeah, he's a bad sign. He knew it was going to fail. My question is, has he fainted before? And did he anticipate the faint?
Starting point is 00:14:21 And if he didn't anticipate the faint, I mean, this is a guy who's like, I got to do everything I can to try and land this one. Well, as it turns out, the bride isn't the first woman from Uttar Pradesh. I'm really doing the best I can. Dan, you're doing great. I mean, I've never been, but it sounds good. To call off a wedding for a rather bizarre reason. Last May, a bride left her groom at the altar upon discovering
Starting point is 00:14:40 that he couldn't recite his multiples of two. I mean, that's bad so i buy that more than the ball but you only know what you've been taught he can't help nobody sat him down it's like two four six eight and then what okay nine no then he goes back i feel like it goes 12 7 13 i'm not you can't have odd numbers in there the groom's family kept us as a quote the groom's family kept us in the dark about his education. He may not have even gone to school, a cousin of the bride told local media.
Starting point is 00:15:10 One plus one equals what? In June, a bride-to-be refused to marry her groom upon learning he needed glasses to read. Oh, that's messed up. Okay, Allie, now where are we at? Now that's messed up. I understand the multiplication. I'm with the multiplication girl.
Starting point is 00:15:26 I get that. But here's somebody going, this is sort of when you do sperm donor, right? When people go, give me the breakdown of the person. It's like, do they have any underlying genetic diseases or any of that stuff? Mental illness. This person goes, I don't want to marry anybody that's going to have kids with glasses. I mean, but we all have glasses because we're all looking at our phones. I mean, who doesn't have glasses?
Starting point is 00:15:48 Like, I need glasses. I agree with you. And for a year of my entire life, I didn't need glasses. Like, you may have to have glasses. All right, last one. Last one. Yeah. And in July, a woman called off her wedding moments before the ceremony started by calling the police and telling them that she simply didn't like the groom.
Starting point is 00:16:05 What's the police doing in India? Like a Rodney King beatdown on this poor guy. No, they just come in and go, hey man, is that the only deal with arranged marriages? Someone else handles it for you? Officers are like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Arrested. She's not feeling it, dude. This is a misuse of police funding in India. You think so? I don't know. You say defund the Indian police? Yeah. Defund the panchayat.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Wait, Dan. They're doing too many weddings. Which I'm probably saying wrong still. That's crazy. What are you, the marriage police? Yeah. Yeah, that's how it works here. But the bride who said, I don't want to marry this guy,
Starting point is 00:16:42 she essentially sent the dish back. You know what I mean? Yeah. She was like, send it back and bring me another one. Yeah. They all did. Multiple as a two, reading glasses. Also, how do they keep records of this?
Starting point is 00:16:53 I wish there was an American version of that, of being like, we had records of everyone who just left at the altar, wasn't into it. I wonder if it's like college football, where you get one transfer and then you have to sit out a year. Well, it's probably all documented because of their cast system. The arrangement probably actually has some sort of filing.
Starting point is 00:17:11 So I'm going to arrange with this woman. She's already turned down two people. It's like, oh, well, red flags. Those are red flags in your background. It's like draft day. You're like, man, I fell. I was told by my parents I was going to be drafted in the first round. I was going to get married at 27, and I just got called.
Starting point is 00:17:27 What's her Wunderlich score? How does she read through what's going on? Could you read the defense? That's story number one, my friends. First of all. I feel bad for this dude, but then also just say you're bald or let it go. Yeah. Just be yourself.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I don't even say let it go. Embrace what you are. She's a shallow tool. She got lied to, though. But she's also a little shallow. But it's preference. Preference, fine. It's preference.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Being a bald guy, I'm instantly, by some women and men, I could be instantly ruled out or instantly ruled in. So maybe that's your thing. So wait, so you were talking about this this and I want to go back to this. When you shaved your head, did certain people... Oh, it was a different type of guy. Really? Yeah, so tell me. A different guy is into you. Because I dated a shaved head woman and I loved her. It was a lot of wooks.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I was on a rave cruise. I had hair at this time. Wait, wait. You've said three things that we can't gloss over. Rave, cruise, wooks. What are wooks? Like super hairy dudes? It's an especially codependent mooch or someone so intoxicated they require the assistance
Starting point is 00:18:37 of others to ensure their own survival. That's not how I would describe a wook. How would you describe a wook? A wook is like someone who goes to festivals and wears those baggy, flowy pants and just is down for a good time. And then he didn't realize that you were really a wrong person, so he made a Wookie mistake. Here's one. Here's one from Google. What is a Wook at a rave?
Starting point is 00:19:00 A Wook is a hippie, most often a music and festival fan that at its basic form owns nothing and borrows everything. Yeah. So they loved you because they thought, why? I don't know. I think because when you're a woman who shaves your hair, it kind of sends the message of like... Anything's possible? Anything's possible. I thought you were going to say...
Starting point is 00:19:20 I don't need hair to define me. A lot of men who have things in their mouths were into you. Oh, like toothpicks and stuff? Or just any sort of random. Like a tongue. Or anything. Chewing on something constantly, like a straw. Meat.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Dan, I will go in a different direction. I'll go with the story that your buddy told who was working with a musician. And he's like, the musician, famous musician was like, let me play the new song. And he wants to go play him the song on the soundboard with all the bells and whistles on it. And he's like, no, just go sit down with the guitar and play me the song. Give me the bones of the song. Just give me the, strip it down. Bare bones.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Just give me the song. He's like, no, no, I want to play you a thing. He's like, just play me the song. So a shaved head woman, it's like, that's the full face. You get the full, you're like. You can't mess around. You get attracted to that person. Then you're like full you like you can't if you're attracted to that person then you're like i like you for you there's no shadow cover it up with some crazy
Starting point is 00:20:10 hair like you are who you are and i see you for exactly who you are yeah however let me say this so we were in when we just went on this like crazy hike here we go no it's not burning man my wife's going to burning man this year did I tell you I went to Burning Man anyway so I'm in this sunglass because I thought
Starting point is 00:20:29 my sunglasses I lost them so I had to like buy a pair of sunglasses and I had a pair Jay was with me and I had a pair that I was going to get
Starting point is 00:20:36 and I saw like two very normal looking women who worked there and one of them said get the black and the other one said get the white and then there was a woman
Starting point is 00:20:44 with a shaved head. And I was like, what do you think? What do you think? Right now, tell me what you think. I'm like, you're it. Well, because you know she's willing to make a choice. Right. And so she was like, you got to get the white.
Starting point is 00:20:54 It's more fashionable. And I was like, I'm getting the white. I literally just trusted her because that's who it was. Because she made a bold choice and it worked. Why can't this woman be excited about the bald-headed guy? Because she was lied to. She was. But if the bald guy meets a woman and she's like, you know what I'm going to do?
Starting point is 00:21:09 I'm going to shave my head in solidarity so that the two of us, and then he's like, yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, he's like, keep your hair. I didn't sign up for this. He uses her hair to make a wig for himself. He's like, thank you so much. That is the deepest form of connection.
Starting point is 00:21:27 She's donating her hair to him. And then she has a toupee. And then she runs her fingers through his hair. All of you two. When she runs her fingers through his hair, which is
Starting point is 00:21:42 actually her hair, is that like masturbation? She's a narcissist. All right, let's take a break.

Starting point is 00:26:35 I support her. I don't even need to hear more. I support her. I'm bored. She doesn't even want to hear anymore, Dan. I wish I didn't have the story. I wish I just took this time to talk about with you guys what I'm dealing with with McDonald's right now. Yeah, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:26:48 McDonald's used to be the Catholic Church and not in the bad way. Not even necessarily in the good way. In the play pit. When you walked in, you know what? It used to be the Cheesecake Factory. You knew what you were going to get. They're going to sit you down. You're going to wait
Starting point is 00:27:03 a while. There's going to be salads bread. No salads or any of that bullshit. McDonald's now, there is no rhyme or reason to any McDonald's. Some of them have breakfast all day. Some of them don't do breakfast at all. Some of them say they're open until midnight. They close at 8 p.m. Other ones say they close at midnight. They're open all
Starting point is 00:27:19 night long. I've shown up at McDonald's on the road after a show. First of all, also, none of them have grilled chicken sandwiches anymore. That's gone. That doesn't even exist in McDonald's. That's what I go to McDonald's for, is their grilled chicken. But if you're on the road and you're like, you know what, I got something for
Starting point is 00:27:35 grilled chicken. No, you're right. You're right, Dan. No, you want to try... I went to McDonald's once. One McDonald's, the first one I went to, they go, hey, just so you know, all we're serving is hash browns and cheeseburgers. By the way, I'm down with that. Sure, but I wanted a breakfast sandwich. So then I drove to another McDonald's, and they go, hey, all we have right now is breakfast sandwiches.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Supply chain issues? The two of you need to get one store. It's a wild card for McDonald's right now. And this is only something you experience here. Like I'm on the road so much. You never want to hear someone at for McDonald's right now. And this is only something you experience here. Like, I'm on the road so much. You never want to hear someone at a McDonald's say, hey, just so you know. There's nothing good that you're hunting down. There was a snake in the fries earlier today.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Hey, just so you know, our food is actually really good now, and it's made from all natural. No one's going to say that. It's not what I'm here for. It's not what I'm here for. Just so you know, I cut my hand, I bled into all the burgers, but fine. We're out of regs. We're out of regs. Okay, Orlando, Florida, where the best of everything happens.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I love Orlando. Do you really? Oh, I love it. Do you perform there? It's my favorite place, yeah. Yeah, where do you perform there? I think last time I was there, I did the improv. Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yeah. I love it. It's a good room. A woman who was upset with how long her order was taking in a McDonald's drive-thru in Lakeland stormed into the restaurant. Oh, my God. Left her car. Left her car, which probably made everyone happy.
Starting point is 00:28:52 That's everyone behind you. You just screwed everyone behind you, right, Dan? Dan, you know she didn't drive and park. Oh, I don't know. You know she just walked right out of her car. Oh, yeah. Deputy said Tianis Jones of Lakeland barged into the restaurant, US 92 East, if you want to go there,
Starting point is 00:29:07 shortly after 5.30 p.m. It was peak dinner time. Yeah, this is heart of the matter. Yeah. Began complaining to an employee at the counter. One minute later, she threw a plastic sign and several bottles towards the worker before walking behind the counter and throwing cups
Starting point is 00:29:23 on the floor at employees. I don't support that. So walking behind the counter and throwing cups on the floor at employees. I don't support that. So walking behind the counter to me. Look, I don't think you should throw anything. But if you're really mad at the counter and there's something to push, I don't endorse that. But I see how you got there. I see how somebody's anger took them. Once you cross the counter, I think once you cross the counter, it should be like getting in a Tiger's tent.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Dan, that's crossing the Rubicon. You cannot cross the counter. I think once you cross the counter, it should be like getting in a tiger's tan. Dan, that's crossing the Rubicon. You cannot cross the counter. I would say crossing the counter could be the name of someone's biography. It's this woman's biography. Crossing the counter. I don't support any sort of... I support strong words and hateful... No violence or no thing
Starting point is 00:29:59 thrown. But yeah, as someone who's worked behind the counter at a place... Where were you working? Love Baked Wings on Melrose. On Melrose? Yeah. I love Love Baked Wings. I'm looking at Lissa over here. I was the wing queen.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Is that one of your favorites? My production office is over there. Wow. And I'll make that place up. Honestly, though, it's lost a little bit of its magic since I left. Since you left. I know. It's not the same.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Have you guys had it? No. So it's not fried. I'll take you guys. I have to take you guys. So it's not fried wings. It's baked wings. I love it. We bake them. What you guys had it? No. I'll take you guys. I have to take you guys. So it's not fried wings. It's baked wings. I love it.
Starting point is 00:30:27 We bake them. What do you go with? What's your order? I know this is so- She still said we. She has ownership in it. Oh, I love that. We bake them.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I want to say this to camera. I know this is so LA, but this place is wonderful. I really, really like it. I'm afraid you're going to ruin the dream for me. No. Don't let her. She's not going to ruin it. What's your order? I only going to ruin the dream for me. No, don't let her. She's not going to ruin it. What's your order?
Starting point is 00:30:46 I only think it doesn't taste as good now that I don't work there. My order. You want Parmesan rosemary? You know, it's okay. I'm so hungry right now. I like the Parmesan rosemary. It's not my favorite. I get an order of 10.
Starting point is 00:30:57 No, bone in. Bone in. Bone in. Bone in. Do the work, Dan. Do the work. Guys, their boneless is very good. Their boneless is so good.
Starting point is 00:31:04 See? They have these sandwiches that use the boneless.. Do the work. Guys, their boneless is very good, though. Their boneless is so good. See? They have these sandwiches that use the boneless. Never done the sandwich. Oh, you got to get the buffalo chicken sandwich. Oh, wait, what? Why aren't we doing it right now? We should be doing our podcast from inside that place. You have to go with me.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah, I will. You can't go without me. Do you know people there? Oh, yeah. You're going to walk in and we're going to be like. They're so nice there. I know the manager. I know the owner.
Starting point is 00:31:23 They're great. You'll walk in and everyone will be like Kelly! They're rooting for you in your comedy career. Not the other employees. Not the other employees. They don't like me.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Why? But the management and the owners they love me. How long did you work there? I worked there for about a year. That's a good amount of time. And did you have any
Starting point is 00:31:41 crossing the corner? Well so yeah so it's right in the heart of Melrose where all these expensive stores are, the resale stores. A lot of influencers walking around. A lot of influencers, people buying expensive shoes that they've waited all night for. Yep. But it's also a dangerous area because there's a lot of high value items.
Starting point is 00:31:58 So people will rob you on the streets. So there were many times where people would be getting in fights inside of the restaurant. People would pretend or actually have a gun in their jacket. Oh my God. Yeah, and I'm just like this little girl being like, can you guys do this exchange outside?
Starting point is 00:32:15 Can you shoot him outside, please? Yeah, I can't clean up a dungeon body right now. It's like a L.A. story. Hi, my name's Bob. I'll be your robber for you. Thank you. Hello, Bob. How are you?
Starting point is 00:32:24 Sit down. So yeah, so I don't condone'll be your robber for you. Thank you. Hello, Bob. How are you? Sit down. So, yeah. So, I don't condone any kind of altercations within a business. I understand being upset. I love when people are mean to me in a restaurant because then I get to be a little bit sassy back. Sure. It opens the door for you. And you have to really choose your words wisely because you're still-
Starting point is 00:32:39 Because you're a smart comedian and these people are not. I will roast you. But, yeah. I don't like videos. Did anyone yell at you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And you're like, and did you just say, you just stood there and took it and then did you talk back at all or no? I talk back, but I do that thing because my voice is so like dry and kind of sarcastic. So I just really lean into that where they're like giving me attitude and I was like, okay. Yeah. I totally understand. Totally understand. It just say everything like we're working on it yeah we're working on it right now my thing when i was bartending is i would always be like i would let them say their whole deal and i just one question do you think that i who does not own this place and makes no money off whatever you do, is personally trying to inconvenience your day?
Starting point is 00:33:29 Or do you think I'm as stuck in this situation as you are? So, Dan, you – Like, I don't – Dan, in that instance, you stepped over the counter. You stepped over the counter. Horribly. Like, I'm on your side. Dan, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:33:41 A really also good move there is to be like, hey, hey, hey, hey. I understand that you're super upset. Please, I don't want you to waste your energy on me because I'm not the person you should be yelling at. I can affect no change. I can do nothing for you. And so I just want you to save your energy because your energy is great. I love it. I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Let me find someone who can. Or Ali's saying it like, I love your energy. Yeah, you have great energy. It's really great energy. Well, I'm also like, I your energy. Yeah, you have great energy. It's really great energy. Well, I'm also like, I'm not, yeah, I have no stakes in like the stock of the chicken wings we have. So like if I have, I'll give you a free thing. Unless you're being an asshole, then I'll be like, you're being. We need to go in there with her.
Starting point is 00:34:18 We said that recently. They have carrot sticks, like French fried carrot sticks. Oh my God. Why aren't we there right now? It's really good. I want to go there right now, Dan. Okay. This woman just loses her brain and throws a sign.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Yeah, she goes behind the counter and starts throwing cups at employees. They said that Jones' relatives came into the store and tried to hold her back and calm her down. Did I say she's pregnant? Yeah. You said she's pregnant. Wait, Dan, does she know she's pregnant? Yes. She's throwing things for two.
Starting point is 00:34:42 She was asked to leave multiple times times but she remained in the store she then called 9-1-1 oh my god herself to say i'm five months pregnant it's pregnant these people don't know how to run a fucking mcdonald's which is probably not wrong about that 9-1-1 is like that you're probably right but we can't do anything they're like do you think this is india we can't get involved in these types of problems. We're not those cops. We're not the caste system. They're a full service police station. We are just not dealing. Also, the fact that she calls.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Oh, God. Do you think somebody was like, throw those cups again. We're going to call 911. She's like, I'll call 911. You're going to call 911? I'll call 911. And the cops should be, oh, go ahead. There is this new thing where when anyone has any sort of complaint, they're acting
Starting point is 00:35:24 like the police are like HR for just life. Yes. Yes. Where they're like my boss is annoying and it's like that's not what we're here for. We're here for emergency. Right. So oh wait your boss is annoying. Hang on let me tell this choking kid to wait a minute. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:39 It's so insane. Can you hold your breath? We'll send an ambulance. Investigators said Jones relative and another woman convinced her to leave the restaurant after how long? Okay. How long do you think her time was? Wait, wait. Can you repeat that?
Starting point is 00:35:50 That was a lot of words. Investigators said Jones' relative and another woman, I guess no relation, convinced her to leave the restaurant after about how long? This other woman is a saint. I'm going to say 20 minutes. Okay. Jason, Iran? I'm going to say 45 minutes she's like
Starting point is 00:36:08 there for an hour she like and again she's pregnant I've been around pregnant women they convinced she lost steam and then she gained it again I'm picturing this happening like the the time span that I'm referring to is her like being like throwing the cops from that point until she leaves. She was escorted out by a customer. They got her to leave the restaurant after about 10 minutes. Wow. Okay. As Jones...
Starting point is 00:36:34 She knows. You know your counter altercations. I do have to share a story about an altercation I got into yesterday. Okay, well, you know, we're going to save that for our Patreon. Let's do it. Let's save it for our Patreon. As Jones got to the exit, she turned towards the employees, lifted her shirt
Starting point is 00:36:50 to expose her pregnant belly, then turned again and began twerking at them. Yes! I love an aggressive twerk. An aggressive twerk. I love a twerk that's not for fun. No, it's more of a, like, this is how not in control of me you are. I twerk that's not for fun no it's more of a like this is how not in control of me you are
Starting point is 00:37:07 i twerk me yeah you think you tried to me over yeah i twerk me dan i like that who do you twerk you are i am i love that she weaponized the twerk you weaponize the twerk yeah a twerk that's not for fun it's just so fun when people get so overworked, like your brains turn off and you just revert to this weird version. What's the most powerful gesture I can give you right now? It is me dropping my ass. All the McDonald's employees are laughing at her so loud while she's doing this. Probably one of them was like, I mean, in the end, you had to give it to her. This does break the tension.
Starting point is 00:37:42 She did roll out with a lot of authority. She dropped it like it was hot and again, dropped it for two. I do like when I'm at home, I'll sometimes slowly twerk in my mirror looking at myself and I'll do a sad face. I like to imagine I just got broken up with at a club and I'm like... That's a great bit. The depressed twerker. I mean, I'll do it, but I'm really not feeling it. Can you do that on stage? The misplaced twerk. The depressed twerker. I mean, I'll do it, but I'm really not feeling it. Can you do that on stage?
Starting point is 00:38:05 You should do that. The misplaced twerk. The sad twerk. Something about it feels like it's been done. No, it's not. I've never seen it. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Never seen it. Do you ever have that idea, though, where you're like, oh, I just thought of something and you're like, eh, it's fine. So if you really do it at home and if you've really done it at home,
Starting point is 00:38:21 that's truthful. It's truthful to your life. You'll get this on social media too or at least the link to where it goes. This is the video of her walking out. She's mad. She's mad at everybody. It's a pretty great...
Starting point is 00:38:37 She hangs in the twerk for a while. That was like a punctuation to everything she did before. It's like four exclamation points. Oh, my God. By the way, she looks great, by the way. She twerked, man. Good form.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I say give her whatever she wants. Sheriff Grady Judd described the woman's behavior as outrageous. What's the sheriff's name? Grady Judd. Grady Judd. Grady Judd. I've womanized a lot of women in my life. Grady Judd. Sheriff and King of the Hill character Grady Judge. Grady Judge. I've womanized a lot of women in my life. Grady Judge.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Sheriff and King of the Hill character Grady Judge described the woman's behavior as outrageous. Quote, I don't know why this woman got as angry as she was, but as the saying goes, she's a few fries short of a happy meal. I didn't know that saying. She better not complain about the food we serve her in county jail. Judge said Jones caused about how much dollars in worth of damage. Yeah, what do you think she did? I love all this guessing.
Starting point is 00:39:29 I know, it's so fun. This is the beauty of this show. How many dollars in damage? Okay, so she threw a bunch of cups. Broke a sign. Knocked over a sign. Knocked over a sign. What kind of sign, though?
Starting point is 00:39:38 It was like on the counter. Oh, okay, that's not much. Is that it? Yeah. I'd say... But they're making it a big deal. They're going to try and jack it up. What are you feeling?
Starting point is 00:39:50 I mean, I want to say that can't be any more than $20, but they're going to say like $200. $200, okay. Yeah, I'm going to say like $120. Okay. I'm going to say $300 worth of damage. Okay. Grady Judd said Jones caused about $100 worth of damage.
Starting point is 00:40:07 This podcast sucks. The detective said they have obtained an arrest warrant with burglary with assault, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. Anyone with information about Jones' whereabouts better keep it to themselves. Burglary with assault, criminal mischief, dropping it like it's too hot. She really... They can call the sheriff's office at 863-298-6200. I have a feeling I know where she's going to be.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Yeah. At the club. Yes. For sure. I mean, she's going to twerk until she's about to pop that baby out. That's story number two, friends. Oh, my God. It's so great.

Starting point is 00:47:15 Headline, remarkable twist at funeral. Comes back to life. You don't want any twists at a funeral. There should be no surprises at a funeral. I like surprises at a funeral. They're all kind of the same. I would enjoy a little bit. You want a little something different?
Starting point is 00:47:30 Like someone's going to come up and be like, this is my dad. And you're like, oh, shit. A man who used a funeral service to propose to the daughter of the deceased has been grilled on social media for poor taste. That's so try hard. You're on board with this?
Starting point is 00:47:43 No, that's so try hard. Try hard. It is try hard. I didn't know that was a thing. Because it's also like the dad was alive at some point. You waited until he died to be like, I'm going to put on this show. You knew he wasn't going to approve. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:55 This is exactly my point. He's like, are we vibing right now? What if he just met her at the funeral? Yeah. Should we do this? Well, it's also one of those things where everyone's like, like when someone dies, they're like, they would have wanted me to whatever. Don't say what they wanted.
Starting point is 00:48:10 That's right. My mom, this is so dark and she will listen to this. And this is really, I'm sorry, mom. But my mom is an alcoholic. And when her mom died, my grandma, obviously that was really tough. And so she was drinking to you know deal with it the way that she knows how and so my mom's like drunk as shit like she's like blacked
Starting point is 00:48:31 out at this funeral and she's late and my mom is notoriously a type a like when my mom is sober she's type a she's on it she shows up early like she's very on top of it and so my mom's like like out of the shower her hair is soaking wet it's raining you know like the scene is set and she gets there late we get to my grandma's funeral late and my mom goes it's what she would have wanted and i'm like what no it's not what she would have wanted no that's great and that's something only did she drive you no no we picked her up and drove her there and she's's like, I'm always on time. She would have wanted me to take it easy.
Starting point is 00:49:08 And we're like, I don't think. I don't know if she. I don't think that's the way. He would have wanted me to propose to you. Yeah. Many of the 80,000 who saw footage of him. So I guess this was streamed. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:49:20 No, they passed it around. They had to pass it around. Many of the 80,000 who saw footage of him popping the question were astonished at him hijacking the ceremony. Oh, he like made everyone else pay attention to him doing it. He got down on one knee. This is like Limpopo province in South Africa. This is put it up on the scoreboard at the ball game. This is the Limpopo River.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Some even suggested he was a pastor conducting the service. What? I mean, that's wild. Here's a picture of it happening. Oh my God. He's down on one knee. He's like, now's the time. Now she's emotional. In my head, he's never met this woman, but you know how grief
Starting point is 00:50:00 makes you a little bit more... It's aphrodisiac. Maybe he was just mesmerized by this woman. He's like, life is a circle. And speaking of circles, I want to give you this ring. Yeah. A video of the bizarre event was shared on Instagram by the group Zim Celebs.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Never heard of it? Love it. No idea. I trust it. Ladies, would you accept a marriage proposal at your father's funeral? This is a first in Africa, the caption said. In the footage, the deceased daughter is seen sobbing with grief in the front row with
Starting point is 00:50:28 the coffin just yards away. The man with the microphone kneels down in front of her and begins talking before slipping a ring on her finger. Some of the congregation can be heard calling out an apparent alarm as he pops the question. Yeah, don't do this here. There's a time and a place. Save this for a basketball game. Save this for an NBA game. Put it on the Jumbotron. Oh, my God. Reports say the man is heard thanking God before being in his girlfriend's life during such a difficult time for her.
Starting point is 00:50:59 He's also making it about him. So this isn't just a random person. It is his girlfriend. His boyfriend. Right. Yeah. He also reportedly claims that his role in her life will comfort her heart while she comes to terms with her father's death.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Right. I'm here to save you. Only I can save you. No, I'm going to take you out of this moment. She's like, I want to live in the grief for a little while. There's a part of me that would be so mortified and then also so thankful that I'm witnessing this life. As a comic, wouldn't you just go up to her and be like,
Starting point is 00:51:26 I have, you don't know what you just gave me for. I'm so not like for you. You'd be like, my future album is going to be so much better because of what happened here today. Then also if like you would always associate your marriage to your dad's death. Yeah. Oh,
Starting point is 00:51:41 he popped the question in the most romantic way, but how great it would be if he pops the question, she's waiting to respond, he gets faint, falls over, and his wig falls off. Well, you know how everyone, when you get engaged, everyone's like, were you surprised? And she was like, yeah, absolutely. Blown away. One of the last places I would ever think. I thought he was going to do it on his birthday because then why would he propose to me on his birthday? But he waited until a time when nobody saw it coming. wanted to he wanted to get her he got her unconfirmed reports say the
Starting point is 00:52:08 man was a pastor carrying out the funeral service who decided to ask for the woman's hand in marriage to help mend her broken heart oh yeah but the proposal stunned many social media users i find it disrespectful one instagram user said in the comments he's too dramatic attention seeker one person commented while someone else uh said the proposal was so wrong. However, a few people had a different take on the situation. Maybe he wanted the father to be a part of it, someone suggested. Oh. Why not do it a week earlier then?
Starting point is 00:52:37 Because. He just didn't have the guts. He didn't have the microphone. He didn't know. That's, to me, I think you'd say no and end the relationship based on that proposal alone. Because he didn't want the proposal. So now he can never say the proposal killed the father. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:52:53 It's like, after the fact, you can't say that it did that. Do you think he wasn't going to get the blessing and he waited? I'm sure. We're doing it in the same room, so it's like your mom said. She would have wanted me. He would have wanted me to. Marriage is kind of a death in its own way. Symbolic.
