It's basically that we believe the world's getting dumber.

Yeah, it is. Don't you think so? There's no doubt. Or dumb and smarter fighting, and dumb's just beating it down with that day drinking dumb strength. Yeah, but I like day drinking, so I'm not going to hate on that at all. Day drinking is solid but like some people who don't know how to stop,

like that's where it gets in the trouble. Yeah, I say, I think more than three drinks and you're done for the day. I think if you have up to three, you're good but after three,

you're napping and you're out. That's it. We have a shirt that we will be selling by the way at all of our live events which is, and it's out right now

at Fluffy Creek. 6 p.m. is the 3 a.m. of day drinking. Ooh. Isn't that the truth? That's really good. It's kind of the way. Yeah. I had all of our live events, which is, and it's out right now. 6 p.m. is the 3 a.m. of day drinking. Ooh. Isn't that the truth? That's really good. It's kind of the truth. That is exactly the truth.

All bad stuff happens at 6 p.m. if you've been drinking all day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really bad. I mean, for me, it's mostly a nap. I just go home to my wife and take a nap.

And she's like, what have you been doing all day? You're like, working. I haven't been working. Just came from the gym. The gym. The gym.

Just hanging out with the gym. We should also admit that there's somebody else hanging around town today in the studio with us just off mic her presence is felt as one of our favorite people in the world this is Dan's grandma Rosemary Van Kirk the matriarch she's awesome, welcome Rosemary

I tell people she's a postcard grandma doesn't she look like a postcard grandma like if Norman Rockwell drew a grandma Awesome. Welcome, Rosemary. I tell people she's a postcard grandma. Doesn't she look like a postcard grandma? Like if I were to be like, go. Like if Norman Rockwell drew a grandma. Or if I told someone, go paint a grandma. There you go. Yeah. Paint a grandma.

She's seen a lot of dumb stuff in her day, too. I mean, again, remember, she's Rochelle, Illinois. A lot of it's born there. You know what I mean? But she, I know, her presence will be here as we go through these great stories. And so, Andrew, we get our awesome fans send us these great stories. We've never heard them. We've never heard them.

Dan's barely heard them. And the four of us are just going to try and figure it out. Make sense of that. Are you ready to jump into one? I'm totally into it. I just want to note Grandma Rose's cane is real, real dope. Oh, my God. It's see-through.

It's crystal. Yeah. It's got two goldfish in it. Liquid cocaine, baby. Solidified liquid cocaine cane. Grandma, you live whatever life you want. It's crystal. Yeah. It's got two goldfish in it. Liquid cocaine, baby. Solidified liquid cocaine. Grandma, you live whatever life you want. That's right. That's right.

He was telling her to do heroin. He was like, I said if you made it to 88. That's what he said. She's doing HGH. Do whatever you want. You should start doing steroids. You should do steroids. You should do Canseco steroids.

Just a cycle. Get on a P. Start hanging out with Sammy Sosa. Go for that home run record, Grandma. All right. She has a great cut Okay Here we go This was sent in by Nick Irvin

At supermans underscore papa Love it Alright here we go ready Yep Portland Oregon Ooh I know It's gonna involve a strip club

Yeah Or a coffee shop Or both A former southern Oregon property owner has been charged with... Former Southern Oregon property owner. So he lost that right. He lost his property. I'm seeing some foreshadowing.

Yeah. Has been charged with assault on a federal officer after authorities say an FBI agent sent to the property was wounded by a booby trap. Okay. Now, this is like old school Goonies, which is so appropriate if you're in Oregon.

My son saw the Goonies for the first time at a sleepover on Saturday. What did he think? Loved it. Of course. Thought the chunk was the funniest thing.

He's like, knock the ball off. That was my favorite part of the statue. Can you imagine if your son didn't like it? You'd have to just give him away. I'd be like, I think we're done here.

Yeah, you're not my son anymore. I can't do anything else with you. Like if your son was like, I didn't think data was cool. I'd be like, get out of this house. Well, we're selling you on the internet now. I think as a 10-year-old boy, he loved it because it's just a bunch of boys doing stuff.

And then there are some bad words. And then there are some moments in it where you're like, you're scared of Mama Fratelli. Totally. You're scared of her. Booby traps. Booby traps. Yeah.

Booby traps. When they're ordering the water or whatever in the place, and it's like brown. And then when you first meet Sloth, and you're like, yeah, but you can hear him

outside the door. If you're 10, that's the perfect level of scary. I imagine Baby Ruth makers pushed really hard for that to end up in the cut. People were jockeying for position. Oh, yeah. Yes. For sure.

That was like the first product placement. Yeah. And they said it a lot. They did. And they totally did. And I bet they didn't even get the bump they wanted. No. But it is amazing.

They're still getting it. They're still getting it. Still a little bit. But, I mean so booby trap this guy's flat out booby trapped straight up 80s movies

like I'm an 80s movie that's what I was gonna say cause there's all these things from the 80s that are gone now Dobermans quicksand oversized knives

pretending like a dead guy is actually alive and taking him to parties like that's that's done I know I miss goofy comedies. I really miss

slapstick. I miss comedy where you just got sunk into the story even though Big is my favorite movie of all time. Amazing.

And you couldn't Splash another time. That's what I wish. I wish people recorded pitches. Wouldn't you love to see the pitch

for Weekend at Bernie's and how they sold it? Just them and me and like,, alright, let us take you on the weekend of your life. I feel like they wrote that. I feel like you couldn't pitch that. They're like, we just wrote this thing. It's too weird to tell you. Please just read it. You know how corpses are

hilarious? Yes. If you take a dead body and you tour it around town and just have fun with it. 80s tropes, another thing was, I felt like so many movies incorporated tropes. if you like, you know, take a dead body and you tour it around town and you know, just have fun with it. But another, but like, so 80s tropes, another thing was,

I felt like so many movies incorporated tripwires and booby traps. That's how I learned to like walk backwards when someone's after you through the mud so they think you kept going that way.

There was so much that I took. Did any of you guys make booby traps when you were kids? Tripwires. Yes, or anything. We used to do it

up at the cabin. We would dig a hole and cover it with sticks, and we would pull a branch back and tie a rope to it. Okay, there were a lot of, I cross this wire and now a net is going to pull my leg up. You built one of those? No, I'm saying like, Oh my God, the claws are on point in St. Louis.

Crepe de Cours finest booby trap. That existed a lot in those movies. Or ropes with like rocks around the end that hit the ground. We look at like Delta Force and Predator.

It's all booby traps and then obviously Goonies. Rambo. Did he? Yeah, he probably said some of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Home Alone.

Hell yes. Rambo. Home Alone. Probably the greatest booby trap sequence in all of film. So this guy is home alone-ing

but without toys. He's home alone-ing, but without toys. He's home alone-ing as a property owner. Yeah. Okay. Well, a former. As an adult. Former property owner. Funny when you're a nine-year-old kid.

When you're an adult, not so funny. Not so funny anymore. Law enforcement officers responded to the home in the small town of Williams, that's in Oregon, on September 7th at the request of a real estate lawyer tasked with selling the property. While the person's still in it or wasn't there anymore. He doesn't want to leave. He doesn't want to leave. This was reported by the Oregonian slash Oregon Live.

I blame Cliven Bundy. Really? Oh, was that the guy who has the standoff? It's like, I'm not going to leave. And maybe he was right. I saw a whole documentary about it. He might have been right. Really?

Yeah, but still get out. Well, a criminal complaint filed to the u.s district court in medford send officers found traps throughout the property from spike strips to a circular hot tub this is my favorite one circular hot tub turned on its side and rigged to roll over anyone who triggered the trip wire that's wow quote it was much like the scene from the movie indiana jones instead of a b Lost Ark. Yes, it's a hot tub. It's a jacuzzi. Which is, the dumb people town Boulder is a hot tub. Right?

On its side. Yes. An above ground hot tub on its side. Yeah. I was like, what a rigorous thing. How fancy are you? You think, I've never thought of an in-ground hot tub in my life. How did he get that on its side?

Determination and a distrust of the government. He had to get like a cat to move. How did those? Yeah, exactly. My mother-in-law lives in Ashland, Oregon. Okay. And that, you fly into Medford. Oh, really?

Where is Medford? Medford's just up in Southern Oregon. And it's like, it is not the place you want to hang out. It's the kind of place where they make a booby trap. Where they go like Portland, Eugene, Medford. Yeah, the airport is booby trapped.

The airport is booby trapped. The planes can't land. The planes are hitting tripwires on the way. Honey, I'm just going to go into the Starbucks and whoa! You know how those,

on those aircraft carriers, you know how they have those ropes that catch the planes? Yeah. That's what they do in Medford. They just catch the plane like that. And then dump, they dump like green slime on the front of the plane. You know how they have those ropes that catch the planes? That's what they do in Medford. They just catch the plane like that. They dump like green slime on the front of the plane.

So yeah, they said it was like a scene from Indiana Jones where this is in Lost Ark in which actor Harrison Ford is forced to outrun a giant stone boulder that he inadvertently triggered by a booby trap switch. By the way, did not need that description at all. Like, actor?

Wait, actor? Harrison Ford? They then go into Alfred Molina's arc and what his character's about for a limited time. Limited arc. After making it past the hot tub, according to the complaint,

a bomb squad and FBI agent approached the property's manufactured home. That's kind of a slight, right? Saying that it was one of those prefabs. Yeah. Taking a shot. Little baby shot. Little dig.

And blasted open the fortified front door. There's a part of me that thinks at this point, and I know we already said somebody got wounded, but they said made it past the hot tub boulder, right? Then blasted over the door. They're leaning in on this a little bit. They're like, this is a fun one. This is an adventure.

Also, we've never done tactical exercises like this before. leaning in on this a little bit where they're like it's a fun one it's an adventure also like we've never done tactical exercises like this before thank god this guy decided to booby trap his house

yeah like this is like we get to go back to like how they prepared us for this job you have to go through some sort of like

test at the end where you climb the wall and shoot it's like American Ninja Warrior for these people yeah after making pass the hot tub that's when he blows open the fortified front door. Inside the home, a wheelchair outfitted with a fishing line, shotgun ammunition, and other

items got pushed and triggered the explosion that wounded the agent, according to court documents. An x-ray found a shotgun pellet in the agent's leg. Yikes. So now past the door- A wheelchair comes shotgun pellet in the agent's leg. Yikes. So they now passed the door. A wheelchair comes at you and shoots at you. Yes. And I hope he put like a skeleton, a Halloween

skeleton in there that just shoots the gun. Crip keeper from Tales from the Crypt. You know what this is? This is a disgruntled man whose house was foreclosed upon. That's what I think. And he said, come get it. Yeah, he said, you want it? You can have it. Which, by the way, I applaud this man. I think this is a smart move.

You're going to steal my house from me? I'm going to try to kill you. I applaud this guy. In fact, looking for houses to buy on the market now is so competitive. This should be part of the game. You should have to complete the obstacle course. Can you make it? This is the application process.

This is how we weed out the people. Fine, you qualify. Yes, according to weed out the people. Fine, you qualify. Yes, according to the thing I qualify. Oh, big deal. You wrote a letter how you like your kids will be great in the school district. This guy survived a wheelchair shotgun. Oh, I want to say my horrible joke. It's 20% get down payment.

There you go, guys. I got to get out of here, guys. That's it for me. Why did that was hard? That was you, Dan. I know. You've got the credit. You've made me more like you.

Authorities say the makeshift weapons were created by Gregory Rodvelt. Love that name. Yep. And you know Rodvelt was like, what day are you coming? Yeah. Okay. I got a week. All right.

That's all I need. See you boys on Tuesday. He's like biting his lower lip really hard. You know, he's got to have cameras set up to watch that go down. There's got to be a voyeuristic aspect to that. He's just eating chili watching it go down. I feel like Rod Veldt...

Rod Veldt is the answer to... What is that jacket made out of? Is that vinyl? No, that is straight Rod Veldt. To go back to, you know the judge was like, do you understand that we're coming to get the house on Tuesday? Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. You do understand? Mm-hmm. Yeah. You need to say yes verbally for the court reporter. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Nope.

I need to hear you say the word. Mm-hmm. Mr. Rod Veldt, who will be at the location that day? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. It's a longer.

Mm-hmm. Dad, I just need to know It's been 22 years Do you love me? So we're getting a divorce? Rodville I hope he's listening Do you understand that we're laying you off today?

Rodville So we're just going to come by the house And go ahead and remove your badge. So you're going to move your car? Mm-hmm. Because you can't park here. Mm-hmm. That is a pro move.

If you did that to people, they would be like, just leave him alone. Yeah, you sound like a murderer. You started to say his last name. You were like, Rod, and it took a turn that I didn't see it. I was like, Rodville? You're right. Rod- and it did not. It took a turn that I didn't see it. I was like Rod Ville. Rod Min. Rod Velt. Sir, can I see your ID?

You can't come into the bar unless you show me your ID. You know, just go on. Come on in. You know what? Come on in. Just whatever. You seem like you're going to take out some people. In the weeks since the agent was injured, a team of private contractors consisting of this is who they brought in to take down some people. In the weeks since the agent was injured, a team of private contractors consisting of, this is who they brought

in to take down this house. Like, this is Blackwater. Right. Former military experts. Yes, they did. And Delta Force. I made up the Delta Force. The A-Team. They had to get multiple military experts. Guys, everybody, get on into this.

On some level, you should just bulldoze the house. Okay, so SEAL Team 6 took out... Obama. Not Obama. Jesus, Randy. Obama? That was for the Dumb People Town conspiracy. Did we kill him?

Obama bin Laden. Obama bin Laden. But they send in SEAL Team 7. Next SEAL Team. We're going after Rod Belt today, guys. Osama bin Rod Belt. We're going to get out on this. I'm going to ask you guys because it's time for a quick game of Guess the Agey. How old do you think

Gregory Rod Velt is? Too much fun leaves marks in life. Living hard, you'll pay the price. Who is gonna get it right? Guess the age. Guess the age. Guess the age. You are our guest,

Andrew Santino. 67 years old. Didn't even blink. I know, because I'm thinking about, I was thinking about it since you said his name. I thought about the scale of time of a disgruntled man who's had a tough life. His wife left him. His kids are gone. They don't even talk to him anymore. He's got all the time in the world, and that's about that time

period, that 50s to 70s range. So 67 is what I'm thinking. He's too rod-belted. What do you say, Mr. Rod-belted? I'm rod-belting them. Randy or Jason? 67. I'm going to say he's 56.

56 years old. I definitely was thinking older. Okay. I'm going to say 74. 74. I'm going on the other side of Santino. A spry 74. $1, Bob.

Okay. One of you is only one year off. Oh. Now, would you like to guess who you think it is? It's me. It's 66. Okay.

Okay. It's me. It's 57. It's me. It's 73. Okay. What if I said now one of you is two years off?

All right. All right. 68 years old. Get your answers in. Bing, bing, bing. Townies, because Gregory Rodvel, the booby trap loving man. You can have his home, but you're going to fight for it.

Come and take it. Come get it. This is 66 years old. Oh! Nice. Santino. I can't believe that. That's right on the money.

I said 67, and I didn't even think about it. You are so on the money. All right. That's right on the money. I said 67, and I didn't even think about it. You are so on the money. All right, first story down in the book. If you're going to take a house, just be very, very careful. But I'll give you a story. This is crazy. Well, let's do this after the break. We'll do it after the break.

Save your story. We're going to take a break. When we come back, Andrew Santino after the break, Dumb People Town. Stay with us. Stick around. Make a sound. There's more Dumb People Town. Hey, guys. Welcome Dumb People Town. or a story relating to our last... Well, here's why I had guessed 67. Why? Yeah. Because we used to, in our neighborhood,

when we were kids, we used to go swing on the Kettleman's farm. This guy had a farm, and he had built... He had no more young kids, but he had built a tire swing that was about a 40-foot rope. No. But he built that to, like,

just to lure kids over. That's scary. And I'm not kidding. This is not a joke. He built a little mini hill to start so you could swing on it. Oh, yes. He built a hill. He's literally trying

to reform nature. He moved land so we could start up at the top of the hill, but he would sit and watch us do it. That's scary. And we would get hurt

every time. Of course. He loved it. That was his booby trap to hurt children. What's it called? What was his name? Kettleman's Farm.

Mr. Kettleman. He had a big black kettle pot out front, and he was so nice, let us play on his land, but he built this thing and I'm thinking, what a sweet guy. But in retrospect, he was like, I want to see these kids break necks. I want them to get hurt. And he was about 67? He was in his late 60s. Yeah, that's why I guess.

You went straight Kettleman. Kettleman. I went Kettleman on me. So wait, so you lived near a farm. Where'd you grow up? Well, no. This was out in the suburbs of Chicago. When I was around my high school years, this guy owned this huge chunk of old land on the

western suburbs. And we would ride our bikes to go goof around on his farm. And we would swing on this swing. Jeez. Did anybody break anything on this swing? Oh, I mean, there was a ton of like twisted limbs. Yeah, twisted limbs. You know, like sprained ankles.

Because we would jump off the swing at the height of it. Would he walk it off to you guys? He would just smile and drink coffee. Twisted limbs would be the name of the swing if it were at Knott's Berry Farm. Welcome to Twisted Limbs. Twisted Limbs. Who wants to ride on Twisted Limbs? Well, I'm so happy we have you in here.

It gives us a chance to tell you how much we all loved your performance in I'm Dying Up Here. Two seasons on the old Showtime, or three seasons? Two seasons. We got vulnerable and angry. Yeah, that's me. It was a stretch. You played a comic. I loved it.

By the way, it was so difficult to but you could tell which actors were comics and which weren't by the way yeah uh which is i guess not good but like but the ones who were comics and you know we've seen you do stand-up before and love your stand-up uh it was really amazing i actually 100 bought that you were a comic from that era because it's difficult because comedy has, I always felt like that was so, that was probably the trickiest thing that regular people couldn't understand. Totally. Same in like Crashing with Pete Holmes.

Very difficult because Pete is such an evolved comic today to present yourself as the less evolved version of you coming straight up. It was so hard. I think people, the criticism that we got often was, I mean, a lot of people would say like, oh, this comedy is terrible.

This isn't even funny. And whatever comment they had about the comedy, none of those people, most of them, the critics weren't alive in the 70s. So they don't even know that much of what we did was very parallel to what was going on in the comedy. We actually took a lot of bits from comics from the 70s and then reshape them and reform them into original new bits that were totally organic. on in the comedy we actually took we actually took a lot of bits from comics from the 70s and

then reshape them and reform them into original uh new bits that were totally organic but were based on the bits from of the time so when people were like this is not what comedy was like back then it's like well it literally was it literally was taken it literally was well i'll give an example of this and i was talking about it with our buddy wayne fetterman who released last year the chronicles of fetetterman Chronicles. It was like a walkthrough, this box set of all of his bits and recorded in different places.

From the 80s till now. From the 80s till now. And I remember watching him in the 80s and I just asked him about it. I was like, what is the biggest difference for you? And he's like, truthfully, what people would laugh at in the 80s, very different from the 90s, very different.

Of course. So like your material stuff you'd not get away with, but stuff that would get laughs in the 80s, very different from today. And same with the 70s. I don't think people understand that. Go back on YouTube and watch like old Jay Leno. Oh, he's so different.

Some of it's funny, but a lot of it you're like, what is this? Like, I don't even know what this is. Like I remember watching Ellen's first special. Yeah. And I was like,, you're like, what is this? I don't even know what this is. I remember watching Ellen's first special. I remember being like, that's the most brilliant woman I've ever seen in my life do stand-up. When you were a kid watching it. Yes. It was brilliant.

I was like, this is incredibly... It was just so... The thing about the Eagles having sex is they're diving down to the... It was so consumable. It was so good and well thought out. Now, if you look back on it, it doesn't take anything away from it. It's just different. It's just not the same anymore. As a person who creates and crafts comedy

today. Yes, it's just a uniquely different thing than it used to be then. Comedy is so the greatest quote I ever heard about Lorne Michaels. He said, if you want to know what's going on in society, tune into SNL that Saturday because they'll give a pretty good depiction

of kind of what's happening in the world. What are the biggest stories of the week? And he says, but when you look back, it's either nostalgically beautiful or tragic. And I think that's so true because you watch old SNL bits, if they're about politics, they're either really fun and correct

or just dive bomb. But that's because it's of the time. So it just, you know, I don't know, what's amazing for me, and again, this is maybe only something that the comedians can understand,

and Dan, you're getting a little understanding of this now as well, is, you know, the show is kind of about the comedy store

or a comedy store type place. I was going to ask you if that was surreal a little bit, to like be a staple of the store now and be part of the portraying

of what it was like in the 70s. Because I think it's reaching the glory days again. Yeah. Oh, for sure. It's the most. I mean, you talk to the,

you talk to some of the old heads that are at the club and they'll tell you, like Don Marrera used to talk because he was on I'm Dying Up Here for a bunch of episodes. He used to talk about

what it felt like at the store in its heyday and now how late 70s, early 80s. Yeah. He used to talk about what it felt like at the store in its heyday. And now late seventies, early eighties. Yeah. And he says now is more, he says now is more powerful than it was back then.

You know, which is hard to wrap your head around. Cause we all look back on that. But you know, like when we, so, cause you've been doing comedy for a long time in this city, you know,

when you get ready to go do a comedy store set now, and I imagine it was powerful back then too, but you have to bring it. Oh, yeah. Because you're between Chris D'Elia and Sebastian, and you're bringing up Ali Wong and Bill Burr's Steppenham and Joey Coco Diaz and Rogan. And Chris Roxentown.

Chris Roxentown's going to come in. And Martin Lawrence drops by. Suddenly, and Neil Brennan. I mean, you're talking about unbelievable, creative, brilliant. Guys who headline on the road. When you headline on the road, essentially it's saying nobody can follow you. Right.

Nobody should follow you because you're the last act of the night because you are the best act and you are literally unfollowable. That's who you have to follow at the comedy store every single night. That's it. You have to defy the term unfollowable.

Well, yeah. And so, I mean, you know, Randy and I have had this debate a lot. You know, we'll have like a new piece that's like 40% there. And we need to get it on its feet and on stage. And if one of the two or three sets that we're doing the week, because, you know,

Randy and I can't get out every single night, which we would love to, but we have families and we have people we need to hang out with and we want to hang out with. And so, if one of the three or four sets we're doing that week is at the comedy store, do you cart it out? Do you try this thing that's at 40%? I always say the OR is probably the best

chance to do that during the week. But if you try to do it at the main room on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, good luck. I've seen so many people do it. I mean, Rogan and I had a long talk about that. He's working on so much new stuff because he just put out his hour and he was doing a bunch of new stuff in the main room that he had told me and he was like i fucking hated it i hated it yeah but very hard even for someone as as kind of prolific as him it's crazy just to watch even him go through

new stuff and that room is so sagura said Segura said, my favorite thing is to go into the OR and watch comedians who normally destroy eat it a little bit. He's like, because that's when you see who they are. Totally.

He's like, that's when you see how they handle that. He's like, because look, all my friends and all the people who go up there

and perform on a regular basis, they kill wherever they go. So to see them kind of have a little bit of it and struggle through it, it's kind of interesting. And I think comedy, when you put it out there and it's the new version or you've just finished a special like Rogan's talking about

or you're just trying out a whole new bunch of stuff, it's like we always describe it as like a bad haircut. You're like, I'm living with a bad haircut right now and I have to go out into the world. I know in like two weeks or in four weeks, it's going to grow in and it'll be fine. Right. But like right now I'm sitting with a horrible haircut and the world has to see it. I can't hide it.

I'll give you a linear move from that. To me, it's like a shirt that you bought that when you bought it, you thought you liked it. And then when you put it on, you feel awful in it. Yeah. But here's the crazy thing. Sometimes two or three months later, you'll put back on that shirt and it's amazing. You're like, this is the best wardrobe ad I've ever had.

Because I've had old bits that I toss in the trash because I was so annoyed by them because I couldn't figure it out. Two, three months later, it clicks back in through my book and I go, well, maybe. And I try and it's almost as if it's like... It was better that you put it away and then you re-entered.

That's hard to explain for non-comedians to understand but there's something powerful about time just letting it sit and then it maybe it finds a new way out your new way in, your new way out that's why I love doing this podcast really truthfully because in so many ways it forces us to think about what is your attitude

towards this thing right here that we're kind of all about what is your attitude towards this thing right here that we're kind of all getting? What is our attitude towards booby traps? And suddenly now, almost like we had a whole bit about that in the first segment. What is it? How come they aren't around anymore? And who is the type of person that turns his hot tub on the side and then uses it as an Indiana Jones boulder? It's, to me,

fascinating. Yeah, it keeps up that thing of just, we're constantly peeling it back. Just that tool. Like we're constantly peeling it back yeah just that tool like we're using that tool and developing a take well let's let's jump into another

story show you want to do a story okay here we go this was sent in by Catherine Tuck at Catherine Lorna thank you she sends in a lot

she sends in a lot the tuck rule the tuck rule tucking it up guys we've got a Greenlee oh explain to Andrew

what a Greenlee is TC Palm in whatever Palm Beach Florida yeah Palm Beach Florida I guess we've got a Greenlee. Oh, yes. Explain to Andrew what a Greenlee is. So, T.C. Palm in whatever Florida. Palm Beach, Florida. Yeah, Palm Beach, Florida, I guess. There's a guy who writes off the beat. I think that's the name

of the column's story. His name is Will Greenlee. And he injects a lot of what he thinks you should know that has nothing to do with the story. So, here's the question

about Will Greenlee. And maybe you can answer this for us because we have our theories on it. We believe that he has a certain number of words he has to write in order to get paid. Dude, he'll go on the long— There's a story. Like a college paper? Yes.

Like it has to fit. A guy tried to attack someone with an anchor, and he went into three sentences explaining what an anchor was. He wrote for four sentences about the difference between a broom and a mop when somebody attacks someone else with a mop. He wrote for four sentences about the difference between a broom and a mop when somebody attacks someone else with a mop. So either he has words he has to fill or he thinks he's writing the article to the dumb people in the story. Right. Which might be true. I mean, you know your audience. You know your audience.

All right. So we're trying to figure that out. Maybe he just loves it. So when we do whatever we get at Greenlee, Dan plays a game with us where we try and guess if that's Dan over explaining something mansplaining something to us or Greenlee doing it Dan is so good at disguising it so like we all have to

now that you know the score we all have to guess whether it was a Dan or a Greenlee Port St. Lucie that's where like some spring training is down there oh really? a famous band is from there too

oh really? yes but I can't think okay sorry go no don't ever say sorry no I just get to look it up this is made for interjecting is down there. Oh, really? A famous band is from there, too. Oh, really? Yes, but I can't think. Okay, sorry, go. No, don't ever say sorry. No, I just have to look it up. This is made for interjecting. A man accused of hanging out near some dumpsters.

That's all. That's it. I'm good. Accused of it, too. As though, how would you not know whether he did or didn't? He was either there

or not there. Yeah. He's accused of it. You look like you've been around some dumpsters. Don't you say that to me. Don't you accuse me. Don't you label me as a dumpster man. Don't you accuse me of that.

You look like a dumpster guy. He had a question for investigators. Okay. What is in a name, he asked. Rather than the internal musing of a graduate student in philosophy, it was a question posed September 14th to a St. Lucie County Sheriff's deputy. John Cameron. Mitchell.

What? I feel like there's got to be another name. John Cameron Mitchell. JCM. John Cameron. John Cameron. Finish the name. JCT.

It's just John Cameron. Philip. Third. John Cameron made the query after a deputy went to an address in the 7600 block of South US 1 regarding a shirtless man, quote, hanging out by the dumpsters, yelling at himself, and bothering other customers. Okay. I mean, if you end up by the dumpsters, you might be mad at yourself. What are you doing? If you end up by the dumpsters and your shirt is on, there's a problem.

Right. Take it off. No, no, no. If your shirt comes off. Understand where you're at. We always used to say, like, if you see a guy over 50, shirt is off, and he's nowhere near the beach, that's a crazy guy. That's a crazy guy. If you see a guy with a shopping cart that's more than two blocks away from a grocery store,

that's a crazy guy. Or super efficient. Or efficient, but that's a crazy guy. If you see a guy talking to someone and doesn't have a cell phone, that's a crazy guy. Well, someone's not there. I mean, if I see someone talking to someone. Oh, yeah. Still crazy.

You should be talking to somebody. Not on these streets. I'm going to talk to another human. Thank you. Keep to yourself. Got it. Got it. He's a shirtless man. Hanging out by the dumpsters.

Hanging out? That's pretty vague. Not rummaging in the dumpster. Just near it. Let the record state that Dan's grandma just shook her head and was like, no. Rosemary's not on board. Steer clear of that man. Grandma Rose, you don't like guys that hang out near dumpsters? Oh, no. No. No. Rosemary's not on board for a dumpster. Steer clear of that man. Steer clear of that man. Grandma Rose, you don't like guys that hang out in your dumpsters?

Oh, no. No. She said absolutely not. It seems to be a unanimous no. Phatic no. Unless they work for the sanitation department and they're loading said dumpster into their chair. I don't want to talk to that guy.

I love that this took place on South US 1 because Grandma just told me this weekend one of the dreams that her and my grandpa, who's now passed away, had is that someday they were going to drive from Maine down to Florida all the way on the one, and you could have seen this guy. You could have run into this guy. Shirtless. Pick him up. Give him a ride. Yelling at himself. What's going on? Did you ever hitchhike in your day? Speaking of picking people up? No.

Did you ever hitchhike? I've never hitchhiked. I've hitchhiked once. What? Really? I tried to hitchhike here in LA. You want to hear the story? That will never happen. Nobody will pick me up. Literally, I was on Santa Monica Boulevard. Going to an audition. Can you scoop me up? Take me to Warner Brothers?

But first, can we stop by Coffee Bean? I need to hang out and grab a... So my wife and I went camping. Why are you doing a Kyle Hitler? Up in the San Bernardino in the mountains up there. And we parked our car, not realizing it was a holiday weekend. We parked on Friday night. We were going to,

we set up the tent and camped there the next morning. And what we realized is we parked our car in there. We didn't realize that the gate was going to be closed. And so we were going to come back like the next day or the day after.

On Sunday, the gate was closed. We didn't know when it was going to be unlocked. And so now we're locked in with a chain and we just needed to get some, this is like, I don't even think we had cell phones with it. We had nothing with us. There was no coverage or anything. And we were locked into this thing. We're like, we got to go. So we went up to the highway. This is so dumb. And we hitched a ride in this Italian couple with a kid in like a Range Rover, picked us up and took us to a local bar

and we called like the, you know, the Ranger and they, someone came, picked us up and brought us over there. to be picked up by a guy

in a Range Rover with kids. I mean, Italian though, not safe. Why is he hitting on my wife in front of me? I don't know. I was like,

there's nothing I can do about it. Why don't you hop in the front seat? We don't have, we don't have a personal space. I was like, wait, your wife doesn't care? I love the thought process

of the ranger or the employee that locked you in because I know that guy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That guy that was like, I love this. These idiots

are going to come up here. These idiots. These idiots. Watch this. Read the sign, pal. Why is he from New York? He just got out of New York. Just got out of New York.

He wanted to hang out at a ranger. I'm in the mountains now. See, I was picturing a Chicago guy being like, this is Diego. This is Diego. I'm getting lucky. We're going to have some fun right now.

Going to have some fun. So one of the craziest hitchhiking stories of our lives didn't involve us, but it involved our dad. It was the worst decision by our dad ever, and our mom was so mad at our dad. This was like the first time I think we ever saw our mom get mad. And in the time when we were little, we felt bad for our dad. Now I'm like, she had every right to be mad.

So we're driving down to Lake of the Ozarks. It's pouring down rain. And our dad, like we're in the backseat of our Volari station wagon. Oh, wow. And he pulls over to the side of the road. It's like pouring down rain. We're like, what is he doing?

I guess maybe it's too difficult to see. All of a sudden, in the lights, we see an old guy with a gas can waving it like this. And our dad,

who has never picked up anything to tell you, never. I don't know why he did it. I don't know why he pulled over. I don't know why he pulled over. Gas can. Gas can made it safe. But I'm telling you.

I think the key element was old man. No, but old-ish, man. But not so. You don't know. He could have had a revolver. You guys were so young. He was 30. He could have been like 48 or 50, but looked like he was 60.

And he could have easily. He looked like, now if I think back on it, he looks like a character in a Coen Brothers movie who just broke out of prison. That's exactly who he looked like. Like, real cream in the hair, like, real jumpsuit. You know who he looked like? In Napoleon Dynamite, the guy on the farm across the thing who shoots. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That guy, he looked exactly like that guy. And our dad drove him to, and he smelled awful. It sounded like he drank the gas in the gas can. And he's in the front seat with our mom and dad. Between our mom and our dad. And we're in the back seat like, what? It's just soaking wet. Smells like, it was insane.

And our dad, we must have driven him for like 15 miles. Your mom was silent the whole ride. My mom was silent for the rest of the trip. So angry. She was seething with anger mother's silence is so powerful of the anger is so i know i know a story from rosemary on her wedding day they agreed my grandpa agreed to give some friend a ride to where they were going into their honeymoon to like drop this guy off just gonna just gonna tag him along and my grandma said they were driving up

there and he wouldn't The guy sat in the back He would not say a word He wouldn't speak to them And my grandma She's shaking her head She leaned over to my grandpa And she's like Why won't he talk

And he goes He's embarrassed That he needed a ride from us He wants to act like he isn't here Put him in the trunk, Rosemary It's true, right? Oh my god On your wedding day

Never forget it Because it's tied to your wedding day. Let's get back to the green. Here we go. So this dude's hanging out by the dumpsters. The man later identified as Cameron. Told deputies he didn't want to be bothered. How you doing, man? Do you not bother me? Leave me alone. Yep. I'm just hanging out. I'm talking to these people over here.

You're alone, sir. You heard me. And he points at the dumpsters. No, we did. They heard me. I'm points at the officers. No, we didn't. They heard me. I'm talking to them. I'm talking to them. I'm not talking to you right now. He said he lived down the road. When asked for his name, he paused and started walking away, which is also a pro move for the cop. What's your name?

You know what? I'm getting out of here. Where do you live specifically? Down the road. A deputy said he'd buy the man some food and beverage if he provided his name. I like that part of the story. Small town cops. Yeah. Small town cops. This is Jay. I'll buy you something. You need something to eat? City cop story

reversed. Beats man, throws him in car. Throws him in dumpster. Yeah, throws him in dumpster. The time I saw outside of Wrigley Field, I saw a guy hit his girlfriend when I worked at the Cubby Bear Bar. What? It's a much longer story. Side note, guys, that happens all the time in Wrigleyville.

We started chasing the guy, and he's running from us, because we just watched him hit his girlfriend. He's running from us. There's cops on the other side of him. He's kind of running towards them. They're like, what'd he do? We're like, he hit a girlfriend. They're like, alright. And so they start chasing him towards him, and he turns down an alley.

They run down this alley, and then they proceed to they start chasing him towards him. Then he turns down an alley. They run down this alley. And then they proceed to, like, beat the shit out of him. So we start walking back. I'm like, that dude's going to be locked up for a while. And my buddy, who was an older Chicago guy than me at the time, goes, Dan, that guy's never going to prison. He's not getting, quote, unquote, arrested. He just got his jail in that alleyway. That was jail.

They just were sentencing. They condensed your jail time to five minutes. Oh, look. He tripped. He tripped into my boot. Look at the curb. If anybody asks how your teeth came out, say you pulled them out yourself. All right? Here's some fair

advice. It's the truth. That curb jumped up and hit him right there in the mouth. And that wall just hit him. It was weird how it pumped out like that. Came out of nowhere. The deputy said he'd buy the man food. Instead, the man said he was Edward Elric, but research

into that turned up nothing. That was Cameron's best. Edward Elric. That's a tremendous name to pull out of nowhere. If you told me that that was Tiger Woods' real name, I'd be like, yep, yep. That sounds about right.

That's kind of a mixture of both because it's Eldrick. Well, yes. Edward Eldrick. All right. Quote, I asked him for his name again, and he advised that he had no name, and then asked me, quote, what is in a name? Oh, I love it.

He's poetic. I love this guy. How does he know what's in a name? Yeah. It's a Shakespeare. A similar question was famously asked by Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague in the William Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet. Straight up greenly. Romeo and Juliet are in love, but they are from warring families.

Juliet states, what's in a name? To which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet. Juliet tells Romeo that a name doesn't mean anything. She asks what is in a name, noting a rose would smell just as sweet if it were called something else. I'm going to ask you guys. Is that Greenlee or you? Who wrote that? Greenlee or me?

I know it's you because it's too on the nose to be Greenlee. I think it's Greenlee. Okay, Randy says Greenlee. Andrew says me. It is 100% Greenlee. That side, a side, was written by Will Greenlee. That's... Andrew says me. It is 100% Greenlee. That side, a side, was written by Will Greenlee. Ah! Santino, don't doubt it.

Don't doubt it. Don't doubt it. I told you he'd point. It's like those trivia games where it's two on the nose. I was like, can't be. It's always too good to be true. Yeah. Meanwhile, deputies determined that his Cameron's real name, what his Cameron's real name was while at the jail.

In the end... That's what's in a name. In the end, Romeo and Juliet both die by suicide. An advent. I'm sorry. Let me take that again. In the end, Romeo and Juliet both die by suicide. An event referenced in Blue Oyster Colt's 1976 song, Don't Fear the Reaper. That's right.

That's a great song. Who wrote that? Dan. Me? Or Greenlee? I want to go with Greenlee now, just for fun. Okay. Everybody says Greenlee. That's right. That's a great song. Who wrote that? Dan. Me? Or Greenlee? I want to go with Greenlee now just for fun. Okay.

Just to complete the cycle. That's Dan. I say Dan. I think we all say Dan. They already did their Romeo and Juliet aside. Okay. Andrew says Greenlee. Sklar says me.

The person who wrote a little fact about Blue Aster Colt's 1976 song Don't Fear the Reaper as though that had anything to do with this story that was written by Greenlee

yes Santino learns his lesson and we don't Santino come on you guys I'm really impressed with you and your Greenlee how many words

does he have to fill we're still going am I right 1225 that's exactly what it is here's how I knew that that was him and not you

that sounded so specific of a guy of a Greenlee age. I love that song. Fantino already knows what a Greenlee is. Yeah, I know. That's a Greenlee move. That's such a Greenlee move. He's a Blue Oyster Cult, man. In Cameron's end, the man from Port St. Lucie was arrested on charges of providing a false name to a law officer, and resisting an officer slash obstructing without violence.

Right. Unlike Romeo's friend Mercutio, whose life could have benefited from a little less violence. Who wrote it? Me or Greenlee? That was Greenlee. That's Dan. Andrew?

I'm going to go with you. I think because you're throwing in a wrench now. Andrew and Jason say me. I say Greenlee. Andy says Greenlee. You're fooled. The think because you're throwing in a wrench now. Andrew and Jason say me. I say Greenlee. Andy says Greenlee. You're fooled. The score is 1-1. And who wrote it?

This is like a dumb shell game. And the answer to the aside about Mercutio was written by me. Yes! I knew it. I am so messed up on this.

Rosemary clapped for that. I am so turned around on this. Jay,, clap for that. I am so turned around on this. Jay, you are right. This is a dumb show game. It's a dumb show. Moving the dumbness around. That fools me every time, though. Every time.

I'm going to ask you guys. We'll get out of here on this. How old is John Cameron? Too much fun leaves marks in life. Living hard, you'll pay the price. Who is gonna get it right? Guess the age. Guess the age.

A man hanging out by the dumpsters with his shirt off. You can go first, Tig, or third. Tig is second. Tig is between the two of us. So if you can wait and hear what we have to say if you want. Or you can go out the gate. I'm gonna go Tig. Okay. He's 39 years old. 39 years old from Jason Sklar.

Andrew Santino. 46. 46 for Andrew Santino. He's 27. And let me just say, first Tig or third is a t-shirt that is available at the Fluffy Crate. If you go to fluffycrate.com,

you can see that. Wear that shirt. Wear that shirt. First Tig or third. Wear that shirt. Okay. John Cameron, also known as Edward Elric.

Elric. The man who wanted to know what is in a name is, get your answers in now, Tony, because I'm about to say it, 30 years old. Oh, yeah. No way. I say 27. Look, I redeemed myself a little bit there. There you go. That's the second

story down in the books. We got one more left. Can you tease it a little, Dan? A little tease, Dan. A little taste. A little touch. Well, it's funny that the last one was What's in a Name because this is about the name of a strip club. Hey-oh! Perfect for Rosemary. There you go. We got one more story. Dan's grandma's in the room. Grandma Rose's face to that

strip club. She was not entertained. She's like, I don't want to say she was embarrassed, but she's like, can we go back to the guy we gave a ride to on my wedding night? We'll be back with more Dope People Town. Andrew Santino right after this. Stick around. Make a sound for more Dope People Town.

Hey guys, welcome back to DPT. We wanted to thank everyone who's participated in our Drip campaign. That is... It's like our Patreon thing, the Drip. It's d.rip.dpt. Please sign up.

You get great extra content and all that great stuff. We're inching our way towards 500. I think we need to make a big leap here. You guys, we can do that. And we appreciate the support like you don't even understand.

That is true. All right, so let's jump into one last story. Sent in by Casey Kustak. K-U-S-T-A-K. I've sent in stories before. Appreciate it. At Casey K underscore comedy. K-U-S-T-A-K. I've sent in stories before. Appreciate it. At Casey K underscore comedy.

Thanks, Casey. A new strip club on the San Antonio's northeast side is not even open for business, but is already causing controversy. I just can't believe they're opening new strip clubs. Doesn't it seem like odd that there's a new one? I thought we've already had them. But like McDonald's and Starbucks, it's like there's like a new one. I thought we've already had them. But like McDonald's

and Starbucks, it's like there's always room. There's another market. There used to be a real nice mom-pop strip club right over there. Yeah?

Local owned? Yep. And then these guys came in. Now it's a hustler store. Chains. Before Walmart came in and put in all those

strip clubs, all that local work. I just took it away. Well, it's still local work. I mean, the truth is you could be a greeter at Walmart and then turn around and be a greeter at the strip club. Why not?

You could do both. The difference is a top coat. Creating jobs. Same vest, though. Same vest. Different top hat. I love this story, too, because this is what a business would be called

in Dumb People Town. Some people fear that the emergency room gentleman's lounge could be mistaken as an actual emergency room. They have called the strip club the emergency room gentleman's lounge could be mistaken as an actual emergency room. They have called the strip club the emergency room gentleman's lounge. Can you imagine people are in there drinking and dancing and people are like running with a knife in their arm because it's dumb people town.

I got a bone that needs to be taken care of. You've come to the right place. We'll take care of that downstairs. You know why they named it that, right? Why? So husbands could tell their wives. Where were you? I was at the emergency room. That's why I didn. We'll take care of that downstairs. You know why they named it that, right? Why? So husbands could tell their wives, where have you been? I was at the emergency room.

That's why I didn't come straight home. I saw a receipt on your Amex bill from the emergency room. Yes. And I had no idea that they were serving champagne at the hospital. Yes.

I like a good... It helps make you feel better, you know, when you're having a tough day. Crevasse? This says private dance. What is that? Well, the doctor kind of massages you. Wait, there's a buffet

in the emergency room. It's therapeutic. It's a special room you go to where they take care of you immediately. Well, I like a good clever bar name. Like, there was one I think it's in Raleigh or Durham. It's somewhere in the south.

It's He's Not Here. I love that. And then there was in Chicago, there was The Apartment. Yeah, The Apartment. Where are you going to go? Let's go to The Apartment. Which, by the way,

looked like it was an apartment. It did. It was like a guy's house. Isn't there a restaurant called that place we always go to? I think there is. In New York,

they had Welcome to the Johnsons. Welcome to the Johnsons was an amazing bar in New York City that was Lower East Side. They made it to look like somebody's basement. Well, that's what

Good Times at Davey Wayne's is. Here, you walk, you're going through like a dad's 1976 garage through a refrigerator and then you're in like a lounge. It's an apartment complex. Yeah, and it really is.

There was like two apartments above where the bar is and one of them is the office. The other was two dudes in their early 20s who just lived in this shitty little apartment. So happy to live there.

And that ended up being, because what they would do is just invite everybody up to their place after that bar closed. Genius. What a genius thing. When I was in college

at Arizona State, there used to be a bar called The Library, and I thought that was so simple and clever. Where have you been? The Library. The Library.

All day. All day. The Emergency Room, hun. Yeah. The new club will be located off Loop 410 and Perrin Beidle, Beidle, I don't know,

Road, but you can add that to the Dumb People Town walking tour. I mean, if it is designed to look like a hospital, that is crazy. It's genius. Like, has the circular driveway to drop off. According to its Facebook page, it's looking for exotic dancers, waitresses, and sexy nurses,

but some have commented that the name of the place is dangerous and a serious public safety. They're going to, someone's going to walk in there with head trauma. Oh, yeah. At some point. Is it called just the emergency room or something else as well? The emergency room going to, someone's going to walk in there with head trauma. Oh, yeah. At some point. Is it called just the emergency room or something else as well? The emergency room.

No, that's it. Not like Mark's emergency room. The owner. Mark, let's see what you're working with. Rob's urgent care. They fear that people might confuse it

for an actual emergency room. By the way, people are going to. For sure. Michael Shannon, the city's development service director, that guy can play any role. Yeah, he are going to. For sure. Michael Shannon, the city's development service director, that guy can play any role. Yeah, he's so good. I know. Mike Shannon was a

baseball announcer for the Cardinals. He is still. Whenever I go back to Chicago, I'll roll into the El House, and it's not uncommon to find Michael Shannon. That's where he watched the Oscars I think last year. There was like a story about it. So Michael Shannon, the city's development service director, said that first off the city found the owners

Did not apply for a permit To legally put up the sign Okay Just him Saying first off Anytime you say first off First off He's got kids

You know he has kids By the way He's coming in hot First off First off You know what somebody does Like a press conference They walk up

And arrange their papers First off First off Yeah First off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just coming in so hot. So hot. First off means there's a lot more coming. First off means there's two or three more.

First off means that he hasn't been listened to, and he has had it up to here. I agree. First off. First off, the city found the owners did not apply for a permit to legally put up the sign. The owners of the lounge will have to cough up about $300 for not having a permit for the sign. I love when someone's so mad, but that's not... Okay, fine. Here's $300.

No, you'll fight for that $300. They're going to have to cough it up. I got these emergency room bills. We'll submit them to insurance. Michael Shannon said the staff sent out a legal notice Monday and the owners now have five days to respond. However, the actual wording is another issue. Even cough it up is like, it's going to hurt. It's going to hurt you.

Cough it up. Go ahead. Open up a liquor store next to this place called A Little Medicine. A Little Medicine right next to the emergency. A Little Medicine? Yes. A Little Medicine. The pharmacy.

Yes, that's even better. The pharmacy liquor store. That's even better. The pharmacy liquor store. That's a weak shot. Quote, our city and state code does not have any regulation on the signed content, so they can't make them change it in because you can put a sign up with anything you want, which I feel that's a major loophole someone's going to exploit. That's America. Didn't they say it was located near the loop?

Yeah. Yeah. He said that the city does not have jurisdiction over the content of the sign because of, you nailed it, the First Amendment. There you go. Shannon said that staff spoke with the owner on Tuesday and told him about the concerns from citizens. Staff asked him to look at making changes to the sign.

So even some of the dancers were like, come on, Mark. Hey, let's make this right. They knew. They know that something's up. I'm sick of being an illegitimate dancer. I want to be legitimized. I know. I want to dance at a location. I mean, they literally put,

they spoke to him straight through the stethoscope that was in his ears. And they said, Mark, this is a bad idea. Can you take off the coat so we can have a normal conversation? No, welcome to the ER. How can we help you? Yeah.

Michael Shannon said, it could be anything regarding the sign. Again, I have no code requirement that can make him change anything. Shannon said that if the owner did, that the owner did seem open to the concerns and said he would get back to city staff in the coming days about making changes.

I'll get back to you guys. Which is he's not changing. I'll get back to you. This is great press for him. Why change the name now? I'll get back to you is the biggest blow off. I'm going to circle back. Yeah, I'll get back to you.

I'll touch base with you guys when I figure it out. Shannon said the owner did understand why citizens have concern. Quote, I mean, base with you guys when I figure it out. Shannon said the owner did understand why citizens have concern. Quote, I mean, when someone brought that up and said someone could be confused to think of it as an emergency clinic or hospital type facility, we could see that a little bit, Shannon said. It's kind of a gray area, so we want them to be clear. Okay, so let me just say about this. In a time in the country where people just don't admit that they're even wrong

even the slightest bit you're giving Mark something for that the fact that he said I can see that it's a little bit of a gray area to me is a major concession
