A lot of cul-de-sacs are kind of culty. They are. It was cult. Just a lot of deer, raccoons running around. It was like you either do every

Starting point is 00:05:24 They say... That's a long argument listen, let me just say this. They say- That's a long argument, or started at an escalator. When do mosquitoes stop being out? Like, when do they go to sleep? Like, you can walk out at like 6 a.m. No, they're either alive or dead. They're up all the time. But wait, here's my thing, Dan.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Like most things. They don't tuck her out. Right. Why are we not saying former roommate? If this person chooses to continue to be the roommate of this person, then I don't want to blame a victim. Get out of the relationship. Get out of that apartment. Well, are they sexual? Why are we not saying former roommate? If this person chooses to continue to be the roommate of this person, then I don't want to blame a victim. Get out of the relationship.

Starting point is 00:05:48 Well, are they sexual? I don't know. No idea. Good question. Nine eights. Nine eights. Maybe he likes getting six. Dick Shaver.

Starting point is 00:06:07 Oh! You were right. There you go. And found Shaver's roommate outside with a bloody face. I wonder if he left or if he was like, get out. Get out of here. You know what mosquitoes love? Bloody faces.
Starting point is 00:06:20 The roommate told police Shaver's assaulted him shortly after they argued about, quote, what a mosquito looks like. What? This is the whole fight. There's no way to find it. There's no way to look that up online. We have the internet. This is the whole fight.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Google it. Google. What a mosquito looks like. It looks like this thing on my phone right here. Like, there's no other way to put it. How would you describe it, though? this thing on my phone right here. There's no other way to put it. How would you describe it, though?
Starting point is 00:06:45 They have thin, light, transparent wings. I was going to say a gnat with longer legs and a weapon. Long legs and a little stinger. I fucking hate mosquitoes. Do they have bug eyes? No. They don't. Do they have any eyes?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Yes. Do they? Yes. Okay. I mean, I don't want to argue about any eyes? Yes. Do they? Yes. Okay. I mean, I don't want to argue about this. Don't look it up, Jay. Let's fight about what they look like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:10 What are you saying it looks like? I told you. Give me that stick. They look like a gnat with longer legs and a weapon. Don't they, don't they? Yes, they do. I'll fight you about it. It's like a fly without the eyes.
Starting point is 00:07:20 The affidavit says the argument escalated into a physical fight when Shavers told his roommate he, in fact, did not know what the insect looks like while the roommate argued otherwise. So the argument was, yes, you do know what they look like. Wait, Becky, it's not even what does an insect look like. It's I don't know what it looks like. Yes, you do. So he's arguing that he has more knowledge than he has. Why do you lie to me about the animals you don't know what it looks like. Yes, you do. So he's arguing that he has more knowledge than he has. Why do you lie to me about the animals you don't know? Why?
Starting point is 00:07:51 You're always playing dumb to me. You dress for the animals you don't know. So Shavers told his roommate, we'll call him Mike. Shavers, Vic. Vic told Mike that he did not know what the insect looked like. The argument from Mike was, yeah, you do, Vic. Yeah, you do. Vic Shivers then, quote, grabbed a stick behind his bed.
Starting point is 00:08:12 That's it? It was just, you don't, you don't. I'm sorry. I don't know what they look like. Yeah, you do. Honey, where's my bed stick? I had it here last night. It's in the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Nope, that's the bathroom stick. Pantry? It's like a kid who can't properly say bread stick. Where's my bed stick? I had it here last night. It's in the bathroom. Nope, that's the bathroom stick. Pantry? It's like a kid who can't properly say bread stick. Where's my bed stick? Where's my bed stick? Bread stick. Shavers then, quote, grabbed a stick behind his bed and started hitting his roommate in the head at least how many times? How many times did Mike get hit in the head before he goes, I'm out.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Fine. You don't know. Eight. Eight. Eight times. Oh, my God. Who kept track? I don't know. Let me see. But Mike did. I'm out. Fine. You don't know. Eight. Eight times. Oh my God. Who kept track? I don't know. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Mike did. Fifteen times. Okay. I think eleven times. Okay. He got hit in the head with the stick at least six times. Oh my God. Have you been in this fight before? That's when. You knew the time and the amount of hits. She knows what a bed stick is. That's when the roommate the time and the amount of hits.
Starting point is 00:09:06 That's when the roommate, who we've called Mike, managed to grab a metal bat from his closet and hit Vic Shavers while he was defending himself. Now we've got a stick and a bat fight over what a mosquito looks like. Not what a mosquito looks like, whether or not you know what a mosquito looks like.
Starting point is 00:09:21 What's the Texas law? Stand and deliver? Stand your ground. Stand deliver was the Jaime Escalante movie about the guy who taught math. The roommate scuffle left both men with cuts and one with a swollen right hand, which was possibly broken, the affidavit states.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Vic Shavers admitted to responding officers that he struck his roommate first. Vic Shavers was listed as an inmate in the Dallas County Jail on Thursday afternoon. He's charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury. Yeah. And assault causing serious bodily injury. They wrote that twice and I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:09:53 According to jail records. If I may add, assault causing serious bodily injury. No, he caused bodily injury. We'll get out of here on this. How old is Victor Simone Shavers? He does not know what a mosquito looks like, so stop telling him that he does. So he says. He will hit you with a stick even when you get a baseball bat.
Starting point is 00:10:11 This wasn't even a dispute about what a mosquito looks like. This was a dispute of knowledge. Feeling like, don't lie to me about not knowing what a mosquito looks like. I believe in you more than you believe in me. You do? Smack, smack, do you remember a time When people were like I want to Be as smart as I can possibly be
Starting point is 00:10:30 This guy is arguing that he's Dumber than he you know what I mean And the other guy's like I believe in you But also if he doesn't know what a mosquito Looks like which is wild Especially in Texas If he doesn't know what a mosquito looks like He doesn't know what a mosquito looks like, he doesn't know what a mosquito looks like.

Starting point is 00:14:29 but then we've got Entitled Housewife, Susie Chapstick Skis, Donny Cush, California. Entitled Housewife is one of my favorite characters. Just walking in a neighborhood with a drink and saying hello to neighbors who aren't there. But it's so complex. It's so deep but it's so complex it's so deep layered it's deep it's so layered because i've seen people try and do the karen person this is like it's it's so every time i see something i'm like uh you guys want to go look at becky
Starting point is 00:14:58 robinson what she's doing because once you do you're going to stop it's not a broad brush stroke it goes deep it's well it's very much, it was birthed during the pandemic when I was staying with my parents and the character is like exactly both 50% my mom and dad. So I think it was just like it took a little bit of both of them and all of the lines, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:18 You're inspired. We watched you do it at the Netflix is a joke golf tournament and you were just being so funny. I was like, oh, more of you on the range. Just come and just fuck with everybody. Just come and be there. I feel more comfortable as her than myself. That's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:15:31 A lot of times. When you're improvising as this character, I mean, as Dan, who's a phenomenal improviser, his characters, we can attest with him. It's like, once you start just improvising as that person. You probably don't even realize what's going to come up. Well, no, I'm like, I'm not even looking at Becky. I'm like, I'm looking at this crazy, whacked out, like entitled housewife who's just riding
Starting point is 00:15:50 around on a golf cart with like a drink that's sloshing around. And I'm like, oh, that's what I'm dealing with right now. Yeah. Clubs are flying. Everything's frantic. Yeah. Well, I haven't spent more than like, you know, a holiday at home with my parents since I left for college.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And so I was around it and my dad was just like, golf is all we have. It is all we have to get out of the house for two minutes during this pandemic. He's right. He's right. But I was just like, I kept hearing him and he was wearing two golf gloves because that was like his form of PPE. Because those are so clean.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And then my mom has had like major health things and so she's kind of futzing around the house, and she's like, you know, I want to go to happy hour with the girls. I want to go to the Thirsty Lion and have a Cosmo. The Thirsty Lion. It got so angry or something, and they went out of town one day, and it just exploded out of my mouth. It's great.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah, the lines were just never ending. It was like the first time I laughed myself, I think, during the pandemic. So I was like, ah, maybe. Maybe it'll make someone else. Entitled Housewife has her own... She's got her own socials. She's got at Entitled Housewife and then EntitledHousewife.com. So you did the Heavy Poor Tour.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Is it still kind of in the mix? But you did the Heavy Poor Tour, which were huge venues and stuff. It was really fun, yeah. And all these people are coming out. So my question to you is, who's coming, is it, are you, because you're making fun of a certain element of the population.
Starting point is 00:17:10 But are those people coming out or are people coming out dressed as those people? What is it? They all come out dressed as like some version of Entitled. Sometimes they'll, like they'll bring their rackets and shit to the shows. No, it's so funny.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Like tennis rackets, badminton, you know, anything. Super fun. Yeah, the visors, the skorts, everything. And they'll be in line like, Trash! Trash! Fill your fucking divots! And they're all kind of like quoting it and stuff. And there's times when I'm like sitting backstage
Starting point is 00:17:34 and I can just hear it and I'm like, oh man, it's like... It's crazy. And they love it. It's just 500 of them, you know? And they're just moms night out. And will they go with the other stuff? Because you're doing other things too.
Starting point is 00:17:43 I mean like, Susie Chapstick is like, she's, you know. Susie's outfits don't fit me post-pandemic. Those little 80s one-piece outfits. Oh my God. So we'll have to circle back to that. Ski bibs. Yeah, they're just so skin tight.
Starting point is 00:17:58 But yeah, I do like 30 minutes, 35, 40 minutes of my own stand-up. I start as one character and then I do stand up as myself and then entitled every now and then I'll add one or two more characters but there's sketches in between when I run off and change and there's a lot of audience interaction so yeah I'm in Austin next week

Starting point is 00:23:21 We going to Holidaysburg? You know you can get that eggnog. Are we going to eggnog Fest over in Holidaysburg? It's in August. Can you imagine in the heat of August? Hot nog. Get me one of them hot nogs. Hot dog?
Starting point is 00:23:38 No, the nog. If you hot nog a woman. I can think of it, but we're going to lose a lot of listeners. I do not. I think. And she stays. If you hot nog a woman and she stays, make her your wife. Should be illegal, Becky.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Why am I just picturing jizz being poured on someone's head? Oh, I don't know. Hey. I bought, by the way, without alcohol. It's jizz in a Santa's hat. I have bought eggnog just to drink it without alcohol in the holiday season. Sure. I like a good nog.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Like the carton? Yes. Bought a carton. A thin carton. Been so ashamed that I will drink it on the way home from the grocery store and throw it away at a trash can near my house. By the way, you can't get a big carton of the nog. You have to get that slim. Very slender. It's like one cup makes like 20,000 cups of nog.
Starting point is 00:24:35 I tried looking up hot nogging. It doesn't exist. Well, me and the girls went hot nogging. There is a thing called hot noggin hats, but that has to do with your noggin. No. Hot noggin. There is an Etsy called warm noggin. She let it
Starting point is 00:24:53 record state court that Becky came up with the term hot nog, and then we took it to a very terrible place. Hot noggin. Okay. I couldn't find anything. Here we go. So this gal.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Right. She allegedly told officers, this is Celestia Barker III. She allegedly told officers that she practices witch activities, which makes me feel like you don't. I'm into witch activities. And the officer's like, which activities are you into? She's like, which activities? Like, I know.
Starting point is 00:25:24 I'm asking you which. Right. And I'm saying, which activities? And I'm asking you which ones. And I'm saying, which activities are you into? She's like, which activities? I know. I'm asking you which. And I'm saying which activities. And I'm asking you which ones. And I'm saying which. And that's what I'm trying to figure out. And then it just, that's the deal. She said he'd be in jeopardy if he failed to drop the charges. He'd be in jeopardy.
Starting point is 00:25:39 I would be like. What are we talking? I'm like, can you threaten an officer like that? Well, she then... You're contemplating it. Celestia then gave the officer examples of what that meant. Okay. Like him falling down the stairs or feeling like someone pushed him.
Starting point is 00:25:57 What? Yes. Some ghost shit. She said she wasn't threatening him. That's not witchery. I'm going to come up behind you and push you. This is what I love. She said, Celestia, that she wasn't threatening. That's not witchery. I'm going to come up behind you and push you. This is what I love. She said, Celestia, that she wasn't threatening anyone, but just, quote, making statements.
Starting point is 00:26:10 What if she... Be a real shame if you slip down the stairs. I'm just making statements. I'd like my son out of jail, and I'm just making statements. I'm just saying you could fall down the stairs. What if all of her statements involved him falling down the stairs in some way? Like she couldn't get that creative. Like you could fall down the stairs or feel like someone pushed you down the stairs or tripped over your feet and fell down the stairs.
Starting point is 00:26:33 All right, lady. What is it with the stairs? You're going to slip at the top of a staircase and then fall down. You're going to be watching on your phone. You're saying I'm going to? I'm just making a statement. You're watching the HBO dramatization of the show The Staircase, and you're going to fall down.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I think it's on HBO, Max. It is. The Officer, hung up. Have you seen it? Have you seen The Doc? Have you seen The Doc? Yeah, I've seen The Doc. I'm hearing good things about the show, though.
Starting point is 00:26:57 The Doc is insane. It's so good. What's that on? Archibald? I think it's on Netflix. I think The Doc is on Netflix, where it's literally- It's maybe too many episodes. It is way too many episodes.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Dan, what did you say about the middle where they're like- Making a murder where you're like- I don't remember. Could have done it in five. Could have done it- Oh, yeah. If you just took out all the yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:17 If you just took out the yeah. Yeah. It would just be done in three episodes. Yeah. The officer hung up on Celestia Barker, but she proceeded to call back numerous times and even called the Blair County dispatch three different times. One of the times, she allegedly spoke with the dispatcher
Starting point is 00:27:32 at length, telling them she would use white witchery on the officer if the felony charges weren't dropped. I mean, that's a threat, Becky. She ended up making statements on the phone to the dispatcher for how long? How many minutes do you think
Starting point is 00:27:47 they let her just talk about things that would happen? Yes. An hour. Right. You gotta let her go. You gotta let her, yeah. Because this is when you put it on speaker and invite everyone to come in your office. 30 minutes. I think you let her go. Yeah, I think it's like 40 minutes, 45
Starting point is 00:28:03 minutes. Because you're also being like some white witchery. Like I might, and then she'll say things that will inevitably happen to you. Right, right, right. You might have a heart attack. Yeah, for sure. Right. You're going to run out of gas. You're going to have less gas than you thought you did.
Starting point is 00:28:14 29 years from now. And you're going to be late for a thing. You're going to get the shits. It may not happen now. You are. It's going to really hurt. You're going to try that new chicken at Chipotle and not like it. Are you sure? Put some white witchery on you. She spoke to the dispatcher for 23 minutes. Wow. You are. It's going to really hurt. You're going to try that new chicken at Chipotle and not like it.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Are you sure? Put some white witchery on you. She spoke to the dispatcher for 23 minutes. That is a long time to talk. When state police questioned Barker, she replied, Yes, I did do that. Is there a law against it? After being told there was a law against it. Yes, there is. Intimidation by phone.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Celestia Barker then explained to the trooper that she practices white witchery. Again, this is the third time she's told people this. Minimum three. Maybe more. This is, and again, this is when you do a comedy show and people are talking during your show. And they're like, but it's her birthday. You're like, who cares? I don't care.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I practice white witchery. Who cares? We're not talking about doing it. We're talking about practicing. We're talking about practicing. We're talking about practice. Not doing it. Not a game. Not actual white witchery.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Not a threat. Not a threat. Just practice. We're talking about practice. She said that she practiced white witchery and that they, quote, best be looking over their shoulder. You can't stay in this house. Best be looking over your shoulder.
Starting point is 00:29:23 State police. Be a real shame if you fell down your shoulder. State police. Be a real shame if you fell down the stairs. State police. Now remember. Someone pushed you down the stairs. She called. She got hung up on. She called numerous times. Someone answered. She spoke for 23 minutes.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Then she talked to someone else again. Right? State police then listened to three different voicemails. This gets you a grandma who cares this much about you. I will say that. Yeah, the pot charge is looking Again, right? State police then listened to three different voicemails. Get you a grandma who cares this much about you. I will say that. Yeah, the pot charge is looking kind of small right now. State police.
Starting point is 00:29:56 It's like when a professional coach is like, it was my fault. The kid just completely screws up. I called the wrong player, trying to get the heat off the kid. I know. He fumbled off his leg. State police then listened to three different voicemails from Celestia that she left at the Hollidaysburg Police Department. Barker allegedly told officers to think about dropping the felony charges. Otherwise, there might be, quote, some consequences. This is a threat.
Starting point is 00:30:23 She's pretty entitled when you think about it. When I first heard the phrase white witchery I was like that's very entitled. Yeah. Maybe your character needs to like start practicing
Starting point is 00:30:31 white witchery. Just delve into it. I've been looking into this. I've got a crystal. I've got one crystal. I'm thinking about practicing white witchery. I'm doing some practice spells.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I've got one crystal and it's a full moon. I'm doing little spells. I could see her saying that if she's like at the grocery store and they keep not restocking her favorite Sauvignon Blanc. Sure. I could see her saying that if she's at the grocery store and they keep not restocking her favorite Sauvignon Blanc.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Sure. I'm going to start practicing some white witchery. Get some Sauv B up in this one. You better get those New Zealand crisp salves over here. Parker is now facing a felony charge of threatening unlawful harm to a public servant to the judicial process. She was released on a $10,000 unsecured bail. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Wow. So she got in trouble. Leave her alone. She's a white, witchery grandma who's just threatening everybody if they don't drop charges against her grandson. Which is not a great act. I'm just making threatening statements. What's wrong with that?
Starting point is 00:31:19 That's it. Why is that a bad thing? I'm just crossing the line and breaking a law. Just statements. Just statements. You know, it's white, witchery privilege like that that bothers me. Sure. It really, really bothers me.
Starting point is 00:31:27 We need to be more diverse in our witchery. That's story number two, my friends. Daniel, give us a little taste of what we can hear. Oh, there's a goat. Oh, there's a goat. I hope yoga's involved. Also, for our Patreon fans, Becky Robinson is going to tell us a stupid thing that either she participated in, or she witnessed.

And then on the other side of the break for the rest of you cats, we've got a goat story. It's Dumb People Town. Stick around. Make it sound.
Starting point is 00:31:59 For more Dumb People Town. All right, Daniel, take us home. Ready? Yes. Sent in by Joseph Gaccione. Hey. Hey, Gaccione. Hey, Gaccione. I got you.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Wisdom, W-I-S-T-U-M-B. What'd you say? Wisdom. Huh? I don't even know what she said, but it made me laugh. All right, ready for the headline? I think you could even repeat it. I don't even know what she said, but it made me laugh.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Are you ready for the headline? I think you could even repeat it. Virginia Sheriff's Office praises goat for assistance in chasing suspect. This is just them being on Facebook, right? Yeah, of course they're on Facebook. It's just cops being like, we got a Facebook. But it's also a great cute little goat story. Tom Brady? Is it Tom Brady?
Starting point is 00:32:39 Yes. That goat was the greatest of all time. Dude, Tom Brady chased them. Dude, Tom Brady. It was a goat. You're not going to believe it. A Virginia Sheriff's Office is thanking a goat for assisting deputies during a foot pursuit with a fleeing suspect this month.
Starting point is 00:32:53 The goat, named Gracie, Gracie the goat, helped two deputies flush out a suspect that they were chasing on February 13th, pre-Valentine's Day. Sometimes, help comes in all shapes and sizes, the sheriff's office wrote on Facebook. Shut up. Captain Scott Barker. I don't think any relation to Celestia. No.
Starting point is 00:33:16 The third. Barker the third. Captain Scott Barker said Deputy David Parnell came across the suspect while investigating a case in the Fielddale area of Henry County, the Martinsville Bulletin reported. Good to know. After telling the suspect he was under arrest, I'm assuming from a distance, which is probably never a good idea.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Sir, you are under arrest. Sir? You're under arrest. You? Come here. Come here for a second. No, don't go that way. Where's he going?
Starting point is 00:33:42 Walk to your impending doom. That's exactly what happened. After telling the suspect he was under arrest, the suspect fled on foot, leading Deputy Parnell to chase him through a fence line and across a field. This is where it gets fun. During the chase, Barker said a goat from the property joined the deputy in chasing the guy. Wouldn't you think like, hell yeah, goat.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Like you're just running in this goat. That is Sheriff John Par running in this goat swing. Sheriff John Parnell in Goat Boy. That's where he went from being a goat to the goat. The goat. When Parnell and the goat reached the next line of the fence in the field. You know what I'm going to say. You know what I'm going to say.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Parnell and the goat is the new Rizzoli and Isles. That's right. And this is actually your closest comparison because they are actually fighting crime. They are a team. Fighting crime in fields all across this county. When Parnell and the goat reached the next line of the fence in the field, the goat continued through the fence in front of the deputy and chased the man into the woods.
Starting point is 00:34:35 So the deputy was like, I'm done. The goat was like, we're not done. I'm just getting started. We're not done. I got him. I got him. You wait here, Parnell. I'll go get this.
Starting point is 00:34:44 The goat looks back and is like, cover me. Yeah. Boom. Into got him. I got him. You wait here, Parnell. I'll go get this. Goat looks back and is like, cover me. Yeah. Boom. Into the woods. As Parnell surveyed the situation, the goat and a deputy on the other side flushed the man out of the woods and he was taken into custody. The goat did its job. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:58 They didn't even sign up for it. The goat just saw it and was like, this guy? Let's do it. Yeah. What are we doing? Right. Chasing this asshole down? Got it.
Starting point is 00:35:05 This is a good goat. This is like such Dumb People Town, too. Like, goat helps arrest criminal. That is perfect. And you know, there would be a parade for the goat in Dumb People Town. He'd be deputy. They'd give him a gun. And then he would accidentally shoot himself in the foot.
Starting point is 00:35:19 He'd eat the gun. Hoof. Hoof. Hoof. Gracie's got a Glock. There you go. Gracie's got a Glock. There you go. Gracie's got a glock. We're going to get sued.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Okay. So then the goat chases him out, right? Yeah. Okay. Where was it? A flushed man out of the woods. He was taken into custody, Barker said, according to the Martinsville Bulletin. Barker said the goat was returned to its owner after the incident was resolved.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Authorities have yet to provide the name of the suspect. Fielddale is about 70 miles southeast of Blacksburg. That's story number three. Wow. I mean, just a fun little goat story. So they definitely brought the goat into the police station to have a party. Yeah, it gave him a little badge. A medal.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I hope he has a little badge. I would love it if someone's like, where's the goat? And then it's in the evidence room just eating a bunch of cocaine. Sure. And then they're like, goat. All right, let's go. And then Parnell feels responsible and has to cover up for the goat. No, he's fine.
Starting point is 00:36:14 He's fine. He's good. He's going through something. You're going to lose somebody like that off the force for fucking up one time? I still just feel like that sheriff was probably like, he just seems like such a newscaster. Like, it just goes to show you folks, help comes in all shapes and sizes. Case closed. Case closed.
Starting point is 00:36:32 And then they cut to the goat and the goat's like, I got two weeks left till my retirement. I want the goat to be voiced by Sebastian Muscat. I got two weeks left of my retirement. I thought you were going to go like training day with the goat. It's Denzel. What are you going to do? You got this guy. I mean, you're telling me.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I got to flush this guy out of the woods. You ever seen this? My father. You ever seen this? A guy goes in a woods chasing the cat chasing the cat I'm like he's the cop
