Star Beans and you. Hey, Daddies, welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town.
Population you.
Population Meyer. Population Meyer.
Brecken Meyer in studio.
We're back in the studio.
Hi, guys.
Hi, Brecken.
Thanks for having me.
To have you back, first of all, to invite you back.
We've wanted you back for a long time.
Oh, my God.
We wanted you back the moment that episode ended.
I appreciate it.
So the love we got for time-traveling Brian Johnson.
We're going to keep-
So the idea was that for time traveling Brian Johnson.
So the idea was that- What year is that?
So he's on like a quantum leap show where like every time he hits a note in a song-
Brian Johnson is essentially Doc Brown.
I think that's what it is.
Marty!
Marty, we're going back in time!
We're going back in time!
It's a gigawatt!
1.21 gigawatts.
1935.
It's just fun to do the impression of Brian Johnson.
It really is.
And just imagine him.
Because back in black would fit perfectly for back in time.
I'm in a concentration camp.
Oh, no.
Oh, Brian.
Too loud. Too loud. And I'm in a concentration camp. Oh, no. Oh, Brian. Oh, Brian.
Too loud.
Too loud.
And I don't want you there.
Oh, now there's a T-Rex.
Oh, you went way too far back.
Way too far back.
Stay on the path.
It's sad.
In the sort of the biopic of him,
I think you could play him.
A biopic?
I would happily do a biopic or a biopic.
If you grew out your hair and you wore
the Paperboy hat.
Paperboy hat.
Did I say Pageboy?
Well, it is so good to be back in the studio.
It's so good to be back around
people, to be back at Starburns, and you are
the perfect person to have this sort
of re-inauguration
of what we do in studio and dan look the world's
still dumb the world stayed dumb in the pandemic it might have even gotten dumber it might have
even gotten dumber yep as the stories roll in from our awesome fans they send them to dan all
you got to do is tweet at daniel van kirk hashtag dumb people town and then he can sort of somebody
asked me they go how come it has to be both and i go because that's how i know it's meant for me right there's a lot of people using the hashtag dumb people town for craziest like q anon stuff and wild things like
that can you read the tweet that came to us because it's just not it's not a full story
but i think it's worthy of like oh yeah yeah yeah do you know which i think you sent it to me do we
send it to you yeah look in our text to him because it basically, it's so dumb.
So this is a friend of ours who, or someone who tweets at us a lot.
Stupid Sexy Flanders is the Twitter handle.
Love this guy.
It's a good handle.
I just saw the most Florida man thing ever.
Going about 35 miles per hour, the car in the lane coming towards me, all of a sudden
the passenger side door opens and the passenger leaps or stops,
drops and rolls out of the car
hitting his head on the curb. Lady Bird.
Quick change. Like a real life
Lady Bird. That's quick change.
Isn't that Randy Quaid in Quick Change?
Randy Quaid now.
Randy Quaid in Canada.
Randy Quaid's not in a car.
What are you talking about?
He only travels by horse.
So anyway, that is happening.
Randy Quaid, I believe, would travel by sidecar without a motorcycle.
Either sidecar or like something we can't see that just propels him forward.
Like hovering?
Like a good witch.
Like a good witch.
How is he moving forward?
His feet are like four inches off the ground.
And they're hanging.
Like Bram Stoker style?
Like he's in a ride.
You guys want to do a story?
Let's jump in a little.
Okay, here we go.
Ready?
Yeah.
All right.
Here's the headline.
First of all, sent in by Nick Bowes.
Bowes.
B-O-W-E-S.
Where are you going?
Bowes.
I have some Bowes noise canceling headphones.
I just want you to see. There it goes. Noise increasing. Those are you going? Bows. I have some Bows noise-canceling headphones. I just want you to see some Nick Bows.
Noise increasing.
Those are noise-increasing headphones.
The Nick Bows increases all surrounding noise.
At Chef Nick 80.
So probably a good cook.
Here we go.
Here's the headline.
Suspect falls from subway restaurant ceiling with stolen deli meat oh god doesn't i guess the only
thing that i would are they using real meat at subway again everything's up for grabs not real
tuna it's not even real bread he was in the seal so he took the meat here we go and then went up
here we go so he needed some protein first you get the meat then you get the power then you get the meat, then you get the power, then you get the lady. Then you go in the ceiling.
That's where you reach your final form.
All right, Idaho Falls.
And you're saying he was leveling up? Yes.
I just want this visual of that guy in the air conditioning vent with the lunch meat being like,
yeah, come out to the coast, get together, have a few laughs.
Have a good time.
Make yourself a cold card.
All right, here we go.
Idaho Falls.
Have a good time.
Make yourself a cold card.
All right, here we go.
Idaho Falls.
Police say a theft suspect in Idaho Falls fell through the ceiling tiles of a local restaurant.
Love when they call a subway a restaurant.
It's not a restaurant.
Tuesday, yeah, if you can't move the chairs, it's not a restaurant.
Stuff is nailed down.
I like that.
That's a good definition. If you walk through the front door and there's a really heavy blowing- Like an anti-fly insect wind.
Like wind going down, it's not a restaurant.
If the person who greets you-
Wait, is that why it's there?
I believe that's what it is.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
I believe it's to keep bugs out.
Yes.
I've lived my entire life-
You were today years old when you found out.
That blast of air is to keep the flies out.
What did you think?
That was like your greeting?
Yeah.
It's like a de-lousing.
He thought it was like his WCW nitro. Like that was like
the wind as he comes in. Somebody's
trying to mess up my hair. I was going to say.
Just Beyonce comes in and that's what happens.
If the person who greets you is also
the person who's making your food and
checks you out, it's not a restaurant.
And they're wearing a visor. Right.
Or maybe it's a very small run restaurant.
Alright, here we go. I also feel like if Doritos are involved
in your order, it might not be a restaurant.
Good call.
If other name brands.
If something you could get from a supermarket also exists in the same packaging.
If it's not a buffet, but you're grabbing personally some of the things you're going to eat, not a restaurant.
I think that's fair.
Idaho Falls goes into a local restaurant somewhere Tuesday evening while running from officers.
The Idaho Falls Police Department was looking for, great name, some people are born for
dumb people, Tom.
That's right.
Jesse James Moore.
Jesse James Moore.
J.J. Moore.
J.J. Moore.
A suspect in two theft cases from earlier that day.
Here's where the plot begins.
Wait, he was in two theft cases earlier.
So this is his third.
The search.
Well, he got double meat.
Yes.
The search was a rather unique got double meat. Yes. That had to count twice.
The search was a rather unique one, allegedly involving multiple kinds of bikes, stolen
deli ham, and the suspect locking himself in a woman's bathroom in an attempt to escape
into the ceiling of a Subway restaurant.
Now we unpack it.
There we go.
The search began earlier Tuesday when a woman called officers around 6 p.m. saying someone stole her son's BMX bicycle at the skate park on Roland Avenue.
Jay, talk about it.
So my kid is at the skate park all the time.
And there are times where I will get there early to pick him up
and I see him at one end of the skate park
and his backpack at the other end of the skate park.
What world are you living in?
So I will FaceTime him from like 12 feet away from him
and I'll be like, where's your backpack?
Who's got eyes on the backpack?
I'm like, you better wear that thing.
Even though there's nothing in it.
Has he skated Venice Beach yet?
He won't do that one.
Because you've got to bring it when you go there, right?
It's pretty intimidating.
You've got to be inviting. But he'll go watch, right? No, he doesn't like that one. Because you've got to bring it when you go there, right? It's pretty intimidating. Yeah, you've got to be inviting.
But he'll go watch, right?
No, he doesn't like that skate park.
What?
That's some of the best people in the world at times skating there.
All the pros are at all these other skate parks in L.A.
Chevy Chase, there's one right by Rand's house.
Chevy Chase, that's great.
He is a good skateboarder.
Chevy Chase is one of the best.
He never spills a drop.
No, he's amazing.
He's great.
He's great.
Chevy Chase.
Bill Murray hates that skateboard. Shreds. So never spills a drop. No, he's amazing. He's great. He's great. Jimmy J's. Bill Murray hates that stuff.
Shreds.
So much.
Bill Murray tried to fight that skateboard backstage.
Okay, here we go.
You actually, Brecken, dropped an element to this story already.
Without knowing it.
Really?
Yes.
Here we go.
So she said someone stole her son's BMX bicycle at the skate park on Roland Debt Avenue.
A man allegedly wearing a Tyrannosaurus Rex
t-shirt. Oh no!
Oh man.
Tiny arms. I've been here before!
I ain't John's.
I'm from the future! Came up to
her son and asked to buy
the $480 bike.
The boy declined the offer and when he turned
around for a second, the unknown man
got onto the bike and rode away.
Oh, I love this.
He made an offer.
Hey, I tried to buy it.
I tried to buy it.
You don't want to sell it to me?
I'm going to take it.
Dude, in that instance.
This is what Francis did to Pee Wee.
Take the money.
Yes.
Take the money.
He did to Pee Wee.
Take the money.
Take the money.
All right, because we're back in studio.
We don't know what his offer was, though.
What was his offer?
What was his offer?
Because the bike is 400 something.
Doesn't mean he offered that.
I'm guessing he did. That's going to play into the next question I get.
The offer was $80 and a handjob.
No, why?
At the end, just to watch him
get one.
With his tiny T-Rex arms?
Usually at the end of these
stories, we play a game called
Guess the Agey, where everybody tries to guess after our friend steve ag uh how old he is sure what we're now
gonna do is i'm gonna have you guess right now i'm gonna read more of this story and check in
with you to see if your guest stays the same or changes until we get to it i love this right now
you know this you know a ceiling is involved you know ham is involved you know that he wants to
buy a bike and he has a T-Rex shirt on.
How old, at this moment, do you think Jesse James Moore is?
I think you're our guest.
I want to say thank you.
I would like to say that Jesse – God, I don't know.
I want to say really old, but I know I'm probably wrong.
I'm going to say 24.
24.
Jay, what do you think?
Yeah, I'm thinking young, too.
I'm like barely a man.
When they say man, they're just like he's just – He's got an Adam's apple. He can go to the military. Sure. I'm going barely a man. Like when they say man, they're just like he's just –
He's got an Adam's apple.
He could go to the military.
Sure.
I'm going to say 20.
20.
There's no way he had money to buy that bike.
I think he's 29.
Okay.
So right now you know he wants a bicycle, but he loves a good T-Rex.
T-Rex, sure.
But he's also offering to buy it even though he might not have the money.
He's offering to buy it.
So he gets on the bike and he rides away.
Then at 9 p.m., the Idaho Falls Police Department, I'm imagining this is a very busy day for the Idaho Falls Police.
Nobody chased after my man on the bike?
Don't even know yet.
Gosh.
It's Borough Falls.
Everybody's crying.
Well, at 9 p.m., three hours after he got the call from my mom.
Three hours have gone by.
Yep.
The Idaho Falls Police Department went to Winco Foods after a man reported that someone had stolen his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
What?
After he went inside to buy groceries.
We're going to sidestep the story for a second.
I was right.
I was right saying that he's leveling up.
He is leveling up.
His whole life is trying to.
Did he offer to buy the motorcycle first?
Here's my thing.
I've always wondered, motorcycle.
What level of groceries are you getting on a motorcycle?
You can't get a jug of milk.
You can't get shit on a motorcycle.
Right?
Unless you've got big old grandpa saddlebags.
If you've got big saddlebags, maybe you can get a couple boxes of cereal.
But otherwise, you're one-arming it with a two-percenter.
Or it's your kid on the front.
It's on the tank, and you're just using your triceps to keep it in there.
Motorcycle, that's a convenience store stop, not a grocery store.
You're not going to a Publix.
No.
Unless you're getting money out of the ATM, you're not going to the grocery store.
Well, he went in to get groceries.
Okay.
Maybe a sheet cake.
But it's a Harley.
Yeah, it might be a fat boy that has some sandals.
Dude, can you imagine?
I got to pick up a sheet cake.
Let me just tell you.
Just real quick.
Let me grab the motorcycle.
Honey, I got it.
I got it.
Damn it, I told her I would.
I don't think it's a good idea.
And it's literally balancing on the handlebars.
Okay, so this guy parks his Harley Davidson.
Goes into the grocery store to buy groceries.
When he comes back out, in place of the motorcycle,
the man discovered the BMX bike that the police have been calling it.
So how do you love that he just like, he's not even noticed.
First of all, did he hotwire the motorcycle?
I don't know.
I have no idea
so I will ask you
so now you know this
he's gone from BMX
to grocery store
Harley Davidson
right
he switches them out
I'm hoping
kickstand
but he also stole
the motorcycle
and I'm hoping
it's like
grocery store
Harley Davidson
is my favorite
Trace Adkins
favorite
wait Dan
I saw you
on my soft tail
I'm imagining
you took your BMX now when he did the replacing thing,
it was like in Raiders of the Lost Ark
when he needs to put the same weighted thing
and put it down.
But imagine...
Throw me the bike, I throw you the Harley.
Imagine a grocery store biker who walks out,
he's like, where's my...
Wait, it's the same.
Wait a minute.
It's almost like...
I parked it here.
Did I run into a wizard at some point and he turned it in place?
Am I like a weird Cinderella?
Am I still me?
Yeah.
Okay, so now you know Jesse James Moore has stolen a Harley Davidson in place of his BMX.
Do you want to change your age?
No, I'm going to stay.
Oh, now I think he's older if he's stealing a Harley.
I'm going to jump it up to 45.
45.
What do you think, Jay?
34.
34.
39.
Okay.
I jumped up 10 years.
I jumped up 10 years.
Okay.
All right.
I leveled up.
As police investigated, the woman whose son's bike had been stolen called officers saying
someone named Jesse James could have stolen the motorcycle.
So now she's gotten the name.
She's working very hard on this case as well.
Is this the mom?
Yes.
She's cold casing this thing.
She IDs him.
Sometimes you got to be.
It's like Rizzoli.
You got to be.
No Isles.
No Isles.
Sometimes you got to be Cagney.
That's it.
Police then considered Moore to be the suspect in both thefts.
No shit.
Additional officers arrived in the area to help search for more.
The motorcycle owner, that's our grocery store biker, found the stolen Harley Davidson parked
in front of a Planet Fitness on Woodruff Avenue.
So he's going to get his pump on.
He's going to get his pump on.
But also it's Planet Fitness, so you know there's no judgments.
Right.
For sure.
So we don't know what he looks like.
Dude, you could have rode up here at a BMX.
We'd still accept you.
Yeah.
Is that curves, no judgments?
No, you're thinking of Zumba.
But Planet Fitness is no...
But no, Planet Fitness is like Orange Theory.
They're always like, everybody, we don't care.
It's Orange is the New Black Theory.
Here we go.
Exactly right.
If you're following along, that means cops have been searching this guy for over three hours.
The only people who have cracked this case is the mom who ID'd him and the biker who found his own bike.
Cops.
Come on, guys.
And he's been on a stolen bike, but still needs to get some exercise.
So now he's going to his fitness bar.
Yeah, he's got to get the pump on because he did the cardio.
He's done the cardio.
He already did his warm-up.
I did my warm-up.
So the Harley-Davidson's parked in front of the Planet Fitness on Woodruff Avenue, if
you want to add that to the walking tour, just across the street from Winco.
Parked in front of the Planet Fitness on Woodruff Avenue, if you want to add that to the walking tour, just across the street from Winco.
The owner said the fuel cutoff switch was on and the bike would not have run for very long if the suspect did not know this.
I don't know.
Is that a thing? Okay.
Do you know?
Not really.
I don't know.
It's a way to keep your bike from being taken too far.
Officers spotted Moore walking toward the subway in the same parking lot as the gym.
This is a big time in this neighborhood.
The subway sandwich shop.
Let's be clear.
It's not a subway underground railroad.
That's what they say.
Moore went into the sandwich shop and locked himself in the woman's restroom.
Police heard rustling inside and Moore refused to come out.
Additional sounds coming from the restroom indicated Moore might have been trying to get into the ceiling.
I would love to hear that.
He's going up.
I can hear it.
David, I know that sound.
He's going up.
That's a foot on a toilet.
That's a foot on a toilet.
I think he's taking a dump.
He's going up.
I don't think so.
I think he's taking a dump.
He's going up.
He keeps putting his foot on the...
The owner of the subway then kicked open the restroom door, something you know he was waiting to do his whole life.
Dan, I've asked you, have you ever kicked a door in?
Yes.
Have you ever knocked a door in?
I have kicked a door in.
Foot or arm?
I have never kicked a door in, but I've had a door kicked in on me by a lady.
Oh, Jesus.
And the entire frame came off like a Chaplin movie.
It just, the whole thing fell over.
It was impressive.
I shouldered through a door once.
You shouldered?
Oh, yeah, because Noah was one, or two, and she learned how to lock the door in our bedroom,
but didn't understand how to unlock it.
Oh, no.
And so you're trying to explain to someone, you got to do this.
It's kind of a good life lesson for a lot of things. you can know how to get yourself in but you know how you gotta
know how to get yourself out hey you can check out anytime you like you can never you can never
leave really and i shouldered through it and i broke right through the frame how'd it feel uh
felt awesome yeah so this guy in some way was like look i'm the owner i'll do it let me okay
we'll row shambo but i get to i get to call an alternate i'm the owner. I'm the owner. Cops are like, I'll do it. Let me do it. Okay, we'll Rochambeau, but I get to call an alternate.
I'm the owner.
But we're the cops.
We should be able to do it.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm going to do it.
I own this restaurant.
Well, it's not.
Honey, I'm going to be home late.
It's my time.
I'm getting called up.
That's right.
Officers rushed inside to the restroom and found pieces of the ceiling around Moore,
who lay on the ground, having fallen from
the ceiling as they walked in.
That's just...
He didn't fall through somewhere
else. He went up and immediately
came right back down, and he landed in
a closed stall.
He probably hit the toilet.
The ceiling is my favorite Cat Stevens.
There you go. Police pulled him out
of the stall he was laying in by his feet.
Sure.
Moore was wearing the set.
Banged his head on the toilet a couple times.
That's not pejorative at all.
Moore was wearing the same dinosaur t-shirt as reported earlier.
Am I the only person imagining him wearing nothing else?
Just a long dinosaur t-shirt.
He's just winning the poo in it.
Like a professional sports team mascot.
They pulled him out by his feet.
He's wearing the same dinosaur t-shirt.
Inside the ceiling, officers found Moore's shoes and a knife.
So he got up there.
He got up there for a second.
And he took his shoes off wisely.
Idaho Falls Police Department spokesman Jessica Clements also said police found a large wad of ham wrapped in butcher paper.
You want some ceiling ham.
Dude, you know what I call this?
Ham on the lamb.
There you go.
Ham on the lamb.
So now we're going to go all the way back to before the bike theft.
Sure.
Subway employees reported that the man had been in the store earlier in the day several
times and had actually come behind the counter, filled out an application for a job, and attempted to help them with service.
I mean, he's got a passion for it.
Bananas now.
We haven't hired you yet, sir.
No, I got it.
I got it.
What do you want?
Right.
You want it toasted?
You haven't hired me yet.
Trust me.
You're going to hire me after you see this.
When Moore reportedly left the store, they noticed a stack of deli meat missing.
So he got that cold cut combo.
He just kept saying, I'm a friend of Jared's.
And they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You don't want that.
That's old.
That's old.
That's old.
It's not a long story.
Bring me Jared.
It's Strahan now.
It's Strahan.
No longer a good reference.
Although Moore is accused of the crimes, this is what they wrote.
Although Moore is accused of the crimes, it doesn't necessarily mean he committed them.
Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Except that he was the guy.
Except that he did all of it.
Yeah, he did everything.
He did all of it.
Except he did everything.
I will ask you guys now.
Do we revise it again?
Is your final answer.
How old is Jesse James Moore?
Oh, man.
What did you say last time?
I said 45.
45.
I believe I jumped to 45.
You went from 24 to 45.
Since then, he's gone up in the roof, falling out.
Now I want to go to 37.
37.
So, Jay, you were...
I said 34.
Okay.
I'm going to stay at 34.
Okay.
And I said 39.
I'm going to go up to 41.
41?
Yep.
Okay.
I'll take it.
I kept on rising.
One of you...
96 years old.
Is only one year off.
Oh!
So I invite you all to either go up a year or down a year.
We all have to do it, so-
What did I say?
37 is what you landed on.
I'm going to stick to 37.
Well, no, you got to go up or down.
Up or down?
36.
36?
Jay?
33, the age Jesus was.
Okay, I'm going to go 42.
Allegedly.
42.
42?
In honor of Jackie Robinson.
Jackie Robinson was a five-tool guy.
This guy, he stole him.
This guy not so much.
He tried to get into the ceiling.
He stole a bike.
He stole a bike.
He stole a bike.
He stole a bicycle.
He stole a bike.
He stole a bike.
He stole a bicycle.
He stole a bike.
He stole a bike.
He stole a bicycle.
He stole a bike.
He stole a bike.
Five-tool guy.
It's a full day.
This is damn near.
We just basically read another Softie Brothers movie.
This is amazing.
Also, he did more in his day than I've ever done in my life.
He does more
before 6 p.m.
than the Army does in Afghanistan.
Jesse James Moore is
38 years old.
Oh my god!
So did you. You were one year
off at 39 and you went too far up.
I should have stayed where I was.
He looks happy.
I like it. There's see what he looks like.
I like him. I mean, there's a sweetness to him.
I know.
I'm shocked the kid didn't sell the bike.
Yeah.
I want that guy coming up to you.
Shocked.
If anybody, he looks 45.
He's like, I'll give you these magic rocks.
Sir, that's crack.
Those are your teeth, sir.
I don't know if we mentioned this on the last time I was on, but humble brag, just because
it's about this.
Yeah.
I am an owner of a black subway card.
Oh, no way.
What?
You guys know about these.
What does that mean?
You can go behind the counter.
You can do whatever you want.
Climb in the subway.
I can visit Jared in prison.
Anything I want.
Bathroom door down.
Conjugal visit.
Everything.
You're too old.
It's basically a lifetime free sandwich.
As many as you want, really.
It's just an unlimited subway black card.
It's metal.
It's a metal black card.
Can you even talk about how you got it?
I can.
I can tell you how I got it because I made a point of getting it.
So you know what?
You know what?
For our Patreon fans, we're going to hear the story of how Breckenmeyer got his black subway card.
I love it.
His metal black lifetime.
Lifetime subway card.
It's like a lifetime achievement award.
It is a lifetime achievement award.
It really is.
And maybe we'll tie it into some clueless stuff.
We're going to do that for the Patreon fans.
You want to join the Patreon just so you can hear stories like that.
Is that the end of story one, Dan?
It is.
Story one in the books.
When we come back, we'll hear what Breckenmeyer is doing,
stuff that you can see him in and things that you can check out.
Even if it's in the past, we don't care.
We're going to get it out there.
And we'll tell you what we've got going on.
This is Dumb People Town.
Don't go anywhere.
Stick around.
Make a sound.
There's more Dumb People Town.
Hey, guys.
Welcome back to the show.
We've got Brecken and Meyer with us.
Nice, we do.
Tell us what people can see, if people want to dig into stuff of yours, what you want to send it to.
The last time you were here, we talked about the movie you shot in Thailand.
Yes, with Seth Green.
You were shooting that, and then I saw it.
Right on.
I actually got a chance to see it. It was fantastic.
Thank you very much.

Me and Seth.
There you go.
Hey, let's do it.
We're fans of it.
Seriously, it's one of those shows
that has endured for such a long time
because it's just funny.
I can't even begin to tell you
that it's so many jokes.
There's so much comedy
packed into every single episode.
It's a joy.
It's like a comedy.
It's like biting into something
that bursts and explodes.
I love it.
I love when you guys play
with characters' relationships
that people have.
It's jokes that come out of the relationships they would actually have. I love it. I love when you guys play with characters' relationships. People have jokes that come out of the relationships they would actually have.

His standup has gotten super strong.
And Dan also hangs out after the show.
So if you're like,

It's worth it.
It's a night.
It's worth it.
It's the together again tour
for a reason.
Again,
we're going to be
at Moon Tower Comedy Festival
in Austin, Texas
the end of September.
We're going to be
in Ann Arbor, Michigan
at a comedy club
that we help save.
Yeah,
I'm not going to pat myself. I got to talk to you guys about that. I'm still looking for an Ann Arbor venue. Oh, we're going to be in Ann Arbor, Michigan at a comedy club that we helped save. Yeah. I'm not going to pat myself too hard on that.
I got to talk to you guys about that.
I'm still looking for an Ann Arbor venue.
Oh, we'll figure that out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We saved the club there.
I know.
We saved the club.
We love that club.
We all raised money for it.
Yeah, we'll talk to them.
Yeah, we'll talk to them.
October 22nd and 23rd, we'll be there.
And then future dates pending, we'll be back in Denver probably and we'll be in D.C.
Now, the D.C. date has moved to February 8th through the 10th
at the DC Comedy Lob and then also
big news for us is we started a Patreon
as well and so we are doing
so good new episodes of cheap seats
our old show on ESPN classic we figured out a way
to do cheaper seats so you can only
get them on Patreon if you look up you guys
can make talking about paint drying
entertaining I was just listening and watching
you guys talk about top five Canadian Halloween costumes.
That was on our Instagram.
We did a Jim Rohn show.
But I'm saying even that stuff is like so much original content like that,
cheap seat stuff, everybody should be signing up for your Patreon.
It's only five bucks a month.
The first episode of cheap seats we did was slap fights.
And oh my God.
International slap fights.
And everyone was from like Branson, Missouri.
Everyone from Missouri and it took place in Missouri.
We're like, why is this international?
I've been seeing that on, like, the Instagram, right?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
And it's, like, all the cloud of white chocolate.
I can't watch it.
I don't understand it.
Dan, it is so troubling.
It is so...
How do you win?
Is it just stay standing?
Someone passes out.
Someone passes out or is like, I can't go further.
You just have to stay up.
Yeah.
Someone in this episode, and I'm not going to give away everything, he passes out and goes down.
He looked like a dad who was dressing up like his teen son.
He gets slapped in the face.
He goes back down.
And the guy who's the referee who's done nothing in the whole match
grabs his legs, lifts them up, and starts pushing down on him.
I've never seen that.
Oh, yeah.
That's how you get him up.
Don't do that. Don't do that.
Yeah.
Don't do that.
Oh, it's so funny.
Check that out.
And let's, should we jump into another story?
You ready?
Let's do it.
Here we go.
This is sent in by La Asasinina.
No.
La Asasina.
I know.
The assassin.
MMA on the end of that.
Love her.
She's great.
She's the best.
Guys, here we go.
Wait, MMA hit the end of that?
Yeah.
Just to let you know.
She's an MMAma fighter she's
badass she's so cool man lets beef rot for months to get drunk in high meat craze have you guys
heard about this drunken meat i've heard of drunken beef at like a chinese restaurant this man eats
raw and expired meat to quote get high surprisingly he's not the only person that's giving
this dangerous trend a whack.
Is this the Tiger King? No, dude, this is
rotten meat people are eating.
I wouldn't serve this
to my illegal tiger that I own.
So this is like
grapes ferment and then they become
wine. Fine.
So they're saying when meat
ferments, it poisons
you on some level. It gets you
like clinical high. But if you have the money
to buy meat to let it go bad,
buy some beer, buy some weed,
whatever you want. Daniel Larson
is part of the high meat
movement, which despite the obvious risk
This is a new thing.
You can't call it a fucking movement.
It's such a word people use to try and legitimize what they're doing.
So here are the movements that are important right now in this country.
Mom, it's not an idea.
It's a movement.
Black Lives Matter movement.
Yep.
Stop Asian hate movement.
Of course.
High meat movement.
High meat movement.
Right.
That's like a dumb SAT question.
Which one of these is not actually a movement?
It's the line from Hamilton. This is not a moment. It's a movement. question. Which one of these is not actually a movement? It's the line from Hamilton.
This is not a moment, it's a movement.
Yes.
Bullshit.
Good pull, Brecker.
This is not a movement, it's a moment.
The dead meat movement.
The dead meat movement.
Stop it.
Here we go.
It's this close to being a bowel movement.
That's right.
He claims that the smell of rancid meat doesn't bother him and that eating it gives him the
same effect as drinking two or three beers.
Guess what?
Drink two or three beers. Drink what? Drink two or three beers!
What the hell?
I'm all for individualism,
but on some things, I'm like,
in this regard, you don't need to be weird.
I think it's all subjective.
I want to say that life in many ways is
subjective, but you're wrong.
Yes, but you're wrong.
That's exactly right.
Don't do it.
Ask him who won the election.
I'm just curious.
It has nothing to do with politics.
I'm just curious what his thoughts are. I think he's in Sweden.
Two or three beers.
Would anyone else rather just drink two or three beers?
Can't be just me.
The person who wrote this, by the way, is like one of those talking men.
We're having a conversation.
He's in Sweden?
Daniel, a day trader who lives in Vastaras,
Sweden, said, in the beginning,
I was a bit skeptical,
but my friend has been doing it for over
a year. That is not a
good validation of what you're doing. Unless they cut
to his friend and he's like, what do you think? He's like,
bork, bork, shorty, borty, borty, borty.
Oh, yeah.
The Swedish chef and the Muppet.
I don't trust that guy at all.
By the way, over a year is not enough time
for us to know the
effects of what he's doing to his body.
Also, your gut is usually
right. So your gut
was, I don't think I should do this.
That's your gut reaction. Then your gut, after you
do it, gets you sick. Thank you.
Listen to this quote.
Quote, I thought...
This is about his friend who's been doing it for a year.
Daniel says, I thought that since he didn't get sick,
there was enough empirical evidence to say that I wouldn't get sick.
That is our whole world.
That's how we're fucked right now.
There's no side...
Right.
I thought...
The idea that if one person did something...
Did he say the word empirical?
Yes. Did he say empirical? right now there's no side right i thought the idea that if one person did something yes dan you're you're aware that there are massive amounts of people that think jfk jr is q
oh yeah he's still alive yeah there's people who i thought i saw him at a thing so then they keep
showing photos of that guy that is clearly none of us were jfk jr none of us were on the plane
with him when he died no so i can eat rancid meat that's the thing too of us were on the plane. JFK Jr. None of us were on the plane with him when he died.
No.
So I can eat rancid meat.
That's the thing too.
He's like,
if the idea being,
well, my friend did it
and they didn't get sick,
I'm going to do it.
That's enough evidence right there.
That is not...
It isn't.
You failed science.
It's the definition
of not enough evidence.
So my oldest daughter's friend's
older sister...
I remember that.
My oldest daughter, Daisy's friend sister. I remember that. My oldest daughter Daisy's friend,
Bay, her older sister,
jumped off, was cliff jumping,
and jumped off a cliff in Catalina.
It was like 35 or 40 feet.
Maybe it was higher.
And she broke her back.
She's fine.
She'll be fine.
Just the way she landed on the water?
Just the way she landed on the water.
Broke her back.
She's not paralyzed or anything.
Broke her back.
So if all of your friends jumped off a cliff would you do it too like does that make it right to do that i mean if you see her break her back does that make it right no no he says then i tried it
and it actually felt pretty good the first night i tried it i had some interesting dreams more
vivid and rather odd. Yeah. What?
Those are fever dreams.
Yes.
You're hallucinating.
Your body's literally reacting.
It's rejecting.
Yes.
The poison you put in it.
Yes.
This is dumb.
This is disappointing.
This is disappointing.
So dumb.
Consuming raw meat can be deadly, but Daniel's never consulted a doctor about his high meat
habit.
Why would I?
Why would you?
Doctor.
His friend is fine. He went on to add
I just, this is a quote, I just
did a quick search online.
Ah, so he's done his research. Thank God
for that. So he has one friend and he searched
on quick search online. If you need validation
for whatever you think or believe,
one quick search online will tell you you're right.
Confirm you're right. You will find the opinion.
You will find the second opinion that you're looking for.
Absolutely.
He says, I know Google can sometimes exaggerate the effects of everything.
I'm not worried about it.
I don't eat it very often.
First of all, Google doesn't exaggerate effects.
No.
Google gives you other people's results.
Search results.
Yes.
He's like, you know, like Google's that friend.
You know Google.
You know Google.
Always late.
You know your buddy Google. Google can go You know Google. You know Google, always late. You know my buddy Google.
Google can go a little bit far sometimes.
Google can talk.
Don't trust Google, man.
Don't start.
Don't ask a question to Google because it will come back at you with so much.
Did you mean this?
Feeling lucky?
Didn't you mean this?
Google.
Google's always trying to tell me what today is.
I don't care what anniversary it is.
That was our old joke, the old bit that we did on Condom.
Google is like a mirror to what we're all...
Google just shows us what we are interested in.
Of course.
So our old joke was if you typed in woman who had face,
if you just typed that phrase in...
It finishes with...
Ripped off by chimp.
Because that's what people want to see. That's what America wants to see. They want to see the woman who it finishes with ripped off by chimp. Because that's what people want to see.
That's what America wants to see.
They want to see the woman who had her face ripped off by chimp.
Not woman who had face that became old or woman who had face that was new.
And if you just type in woman who had, it's acid thrown in her face.
We're like, why does Google hate women?
And the second thing is woman who had acid in her face, feet.
Wiki feet.
Daniel says, guys, he's not an idiot okay
he doesn't use just any old beef to get his only consumes meat from local grass-fed cows
he wouldn't trust beef that's imported from abroad i know he has standards here i like it
how long does he leave it do we know once he the meat, he stores it in a plastic container in his fridge until it rots and
ferments.
He added, the meat I eat is usually how many months old?
The meat I eat is my favorite Dr. Seuss book.
I love that story.
It's awesome.
How, what'd you say?
How many months does he wait to eat the meat?
Yeah, Jay, the meat I eat.
In his fridge, I'd say.
Let's let Brecken go first. It's in his fridge, which is interesting. He put it in plastic. Would you put to eat the meat? Yeah, Jay, the meat I eat. In his fridge? Let's let Brecken go first.
It's in his fridge, which is interesting.
He put it in plastic.
Would you put it on the counter?
Right.
Why not just speed up the thing?
Put it on your radiator if you want.
He's not crazy.
Did you say months?
Dan, did you say months?
Yeah.
How many months?
Okay.
I'm going to say, because it says months, I'm going to say three.
Okay.
Jay?
Two months.
I'm going nine.
This is like a baby.
Oh, he's like a baby.
He's bringing life.
He's bringing a new life.
You're bringing high life into this world.
The meat of the day is usually about two months expired.
Oh, nice, Jay.
Surprisingly, it doesn't smell that bad, he said.
I left it in the Tupperware.
To you.
First of all, you're never using that Tupperware again.
Right.
You go two months.
No, he is because that's a flavor catcher.
To him, it's like a diner griddle.
You just got to get in touch with that. So you you're right. That's a flavor catcher. To him, it's like a diner griddle.
You just got to get him to touch that.
So you eat around the mealworms?
How does that work?
Oh, God.
He says, I left the Tupperware.
You could see bacteria colonies growing on it, but it really didn't smell that bad.
Colonies.
Colonies.
You can see colonies.
Here's something that shouldn't be colonized. You're going to take a look at this meat.
Africa and meat.
You're going to take a look at this meat. Brecken meat. You're going to take a look at this meat.
Brecken first.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, God.
That's it.
Oh, my God.
He's eating that.
It's the bubbly part.
Yeah, I know.
There's texture to it.
It's not green.
No, it's like a topical map, though.
It'll get there.
It'll get there.
Damn.
Look at it, Brecken.
It's the bubbles. It's the bubbles and the colonies. It'll get there. Dang, Dan. The hell? Look at it, Brickhead. It's the bubbles.
It's the bubbles and the colonies.
It looks like grip tape.
Like, it's just...
One of these colonies gonna rise up.
But do you think he, like, looked in...
Like, he looks in there at six weeks, and he's like, not ready, but soon.
Nope, guys.
I need a little more colonization.
Yeah.
See, I would say it had a characteristic smell, but not a bad smell.
I think Daniel generalizes too much.
Why is this news?
Unsurprisingly.
I wouldn't be friends with this guy.
I honestly don't think I could be friends with him.
No matter how cool he is.
This is all the straws that break the camel's back.
He's got a lot to say about this.
This is the Catalina cliff that breaks the camel's back.
Unsurprisingly.
This is the thing that defines him, though.
This is like his job doesn't matter. He wants to be the high's back. By the way, he breaks the sister's back. This is the thing that defines him, though. This is like his job doesn't matter.
He wants to be the high meat guy.
Yes.
In his life.
Unsurprisingly, few people in Daniel's life share his enthusiasm for putrid meat.
What is his wife or girlfriend?
He explained.
I'm kidding.
My girlfriend.
No.
There's no way.
Fucking way.
My girlfriend.
And when I read this, I literally out loud said,
might as well just go ahead and throw an X on there.
My girlfriend refuses to try it.
She thinks it's disgusting.
Many people I know think this is crazy,
but I think people live in a bubble that society has proposed to them.
Like a Tupperware bubble.
Yeah.
A meat colony bubble.
One person says, I've been doing it for about a year.
Nothing wrong with it. He's like, that's enough evidence for me.
But all these other people go, you're wrong.
And he goes, I still have enough evidence the other way.
I have enough evidence. You don't.
You don't have enough evidence. You choose who you want to list.
I can go to Google and I can just...
Google!
He added, sure, maybe high meat looks
disgusting, but many things we eat today may
be seen as disgusting.
False equivalency? What do you may be seen as disgusting. Are we at false equivalency?
What do you think he gives as examples for food we should think is disgusting? Blue cheese.
Wait, does he give examples?
Yes.
Okay, so what do you think?
He's like, you know what's just as gross when you think about it.
I mean, people always go to snails with escargot and stuff.
Honestly, my first day went to tuna fish for some reason.
Sure.
So I, to me-
Sea urchin.
So do you know the Rupert Holmes, the Pina Colada song?
Sure.
So my favorite line in there is like-
Escape?
Yeah, escape.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain-
If you don't have half a brain, you're into doing yoga.
Yes, only stupid people like yoga.
Only dumb people are into yoga.
Right.
So to me, I think it's one of those things here where he's going to be like, kale.
Right.
Kale.
You mean the thing that's really good for you?
Right.
Yeah, kale.
Also, by the way, he's calling yoga people dumb when he's taking out a personal ad in
the local paper that he's-
To cheat on his wife.
To cheat on his wife.
And she's doing the same thing on him.
And he's cool with it. And they're all cool. Oh, they laughed. They laughed. To cheat on his wife. And she's doing the same thing. To cheat on him. And he's cool with it.
And they're all cool.
Oh, they laughed.
That's right.
They laughed.
They rediscovered themselves.
For example, look at the food we eat, like seafood, like shrimp and crabs.
I'm like, just say you're kosher.
Yeah.
Just say you're kosher.
I don't eat scavengers.
Right.
Maybe it eats like shit off the ocean floor.
Often, you are eating sea bugs, Daniel said, but under normal circumstances, many people wouldn't eat regular bugs.
Not true.
Around this world, people eat bugs all over the place.
People do eat bugs.
Chocolinas.
My nephew just bought one of those suckers at the candy store.
We were up at the cabin.
We took it in.
Chocolate-covered cricket?
Yes.
All right.
Yeah.
But also, people eat, now granted, some people do eat raw shrimp or whatever, but also people cook it.
Yes.
Which hopefully takes care of the bugs he's talking about.
He's doing the opposite.
He's inviting them.
Also, if you had shrimp and it didn't look that good or was miscolored, you'd be like,
not eating this?
Not eating this?
No.
This looks weird.
Maybe if I put it on the radiator for a couple more weeks, it'll be good.
I had sushi last week.
I took one bite for a roll.
I go, bad roll.
Did you really?
Yes.
Did you really?
Did you get sick?
No, because I spit it out.
Thank you.
I go, we got a bad roll.
It just tasted like seawater. I was like, I'm not risking this. We you. I go, we got a bad roll. It just tasted like seawater.
I was like, I'm not risking this.
We got a bad roll.
We got a bad roll.
Sometimes you get a bad roll.
Sometimes you get a bad roll.
In Vegas or at Sushi.
In Vegas.
It's going to happen.
Or in Vegas, same time.
Same time.
Sushi and crabs.
Sushi, crabs, restaurant, I would go.
Okay, here we go.
Crabs and crabs, I'd go there.
Oh, come on.
Crabs and crabs.
Crappy crabs.
Crabs and crabs.
I've always said there should be a blackjack table in the Bacchanal. That's just me. Crabs and crabs. Crappy crabs. Crabs and crabs. I've always said there should be a blackjack table in the
Balkanol. That's just me. Crabs
and crabs. You get a
bib and you get $400.
I would love it.
Here we go. I know you love Vegas. Put 20 on the
cup. Gone off meat
becomes contaminated with bacteria or
toxins which can make you poorly.
Green and gray tints on the food
are usually a sign of bacteria growth, so
look out for those, all you non-high
meat movement followers. Stop calling it
a movement. You legitimize it every time.
Gray beef.
Game of Thrones. That was a sickness in Game of Thrones.
Remember the kid had gray beef?
Gray scale.
I've read the book too many times.
It's gray scale.
Because he had a gray burger, then he got Grayscale.
Look, I'm trying to be Hodor when they put him into Robot Chicken.
I've never seen Game of Thrones.
Stop.
I've never seen it.
I think Hodor did himself on Robot Chicken, actually.
I loved it.
I loved it.
Okay.
It's hilarious.
How old is Daniel Larson?
Is this the meat guy?
This is our meat guy.
This is our meat guy.
Oh, this is the leader of the movement?
Yeah.
Well, he's probably number two, right?
Yeah, because his buddy's got a year in.
High meat chapo?
Yeah.
All right, so what do you think?
I'm going to steal your Jesus age.
33?
Okay, Jay, what do you think?
I was watching the Source Family documentary.
Have you seen that?
What is this?
Oh!
What is this?
So the Source Family, you've got to see this too, Dan.
You'll love it. So the Source Family You gotta see this too Dan You'll love it
So the Source family
The Source restaurant
In
I thought it was about the magazine
It's featuring Annie Hall
It was like the first
Health food restaurant
Up on Sunset
But it's where he goes
He's like I'll have a plate
Of mashed yeast
Right on
Yeah
So
So wait what is it called?
The Source family?
The Source family
So it's about
This guy who was in the military
Jim Baker He's a little shady and
he might have killed his neighbor and he's just a weird dude who then started hiring like start a
health food store with like money from like invested money from somebody that's all shady
where can i find this yeah i think it's amazon amazon so you start started the thing and then
he became like this guru and he started to hire the hottest
young people in LA.
So the hottest people worked at the Source. They all
wore white robes. They became this cult.
He got a house, donated to him in the Hollywood
Hills. It's like so...
But then he was like...
It just is fascinating. It gets nuts.
It's crazy. It's cult-y.
But I feel like that's where we're heading
with this. Was that pre-Good Earth?
Oh, yo.
Yeah, yeah.
Source is the very first.
60s.
60s into the 70s.
Right.
70.
It's early 70s.
71, 72.
All right.
So what's your guess?
So my guess is I keep seeing this guy, Jim Baker, when I see this guy.
And I know that's not right.
So I'm going to go against my instincts.
And I'm going to say he's like one of the young followers.
He's like 23. I'm going to say 41 my instincts, and I'm going to say he's like one of the young followers. He's like 23.
I'm going to say 41.
He always wears a turtleneck.
41?
Mock turtleneck or real turtleneck?
23.
33.
33.
None of you are exactly right.
I want to bring back turtlenecks.
I will tell you that my assistant, Lissa, when I read her this story.
She nailed it?
I got it exactly right.
Oh, Lissa.
Daniel Larson.
The High Meat Movement
man is
27 years old.
So I was the closest.
But you were close too.
Back in the high
meat again.
Bring me a higher
meat.
Don't do this. That was two Steve Winwood songs that had higher meat on the same album.
All right, there's a story to it down in the books.
Dan, can you give us just a little teasy taste of what we're going to get?
I mean, I'm not, I'll just say Fight Club.
Fight Club.
Oh, I love it.
Dude, we don't talk about it.
Rule number one.
First rule about Fight Club is we tease it.
We'll see.
We tease it.
All right, we'll be back with more Dump People Town right after this.
Stick around. Make a sound back with more Dumpy Town right after this. Stick around.
Make us down for more Dumpy People Town.
All right, Daniel.
Take us home.
Here we go.
Ready?
Check three.
Fight Club prompts.
Oh, did I say?
Oh, I said.
Who said?
This one I have not said yet.
Sent in by Randy Williams at R-W-A-R-E-D-U-B-Y-A.
R-W.
R-W.
That's like A and W.
Yeah.
R-W.
I did that when I was in Wisconsin, too.
Fight Club prompts-
Oh, no.
That's like Arby's.
I mean, that's what I meant.
That works.
They have meats.
Fight Club prompts town council to close road.
What?
We got an outdoor fight club in a road. Fight Club prompts- Fight Club prompts town council to close road. What? We got an outdoor fight club in a road.
Fight club prompts town council to close road.
Are they trying to respect the fight club?
Right, like give it its space.
Right.
Hey, guys.
We got cars running through our fight club.
You guys know the first rule.
Come on.
No traffic.
Close the roads.
Close the roads.
The town council voted to temporarily close a small cul-de-sac that overlooks the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport during their meeting on Monday night, May 17th, after being given a report that a fight club had started on the road.
Dude, you're not going to believe it.
The fight club, they're going to close down a cul-de-sac.
Wait, so they closed the cul-de-sac, meaning nobody can go down it?
Right.
The road, known as Memorial Drive, which is near the intersection ofde-sac, meaning nobody can go down it? Right.
The road, known as Memorial Drive, which is near the intersection of Harvey... Sitting there for a fight.
You're going to die on it.
You're going to die on it.
The intersection of Harvey Road and Pettengill Road.
Where is this?
This is in Boston?
It's in Boston.

But it says the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
That's a wicked good apple.
But Manchester is England.
Right.
I know.
I'm all over the place.
And Boston.
The Londonderry Times.
And the Boston.
Is there a Boston in possibly?
I thought the Londonderry Times was literally just a weekly or daily or doubly to every
other day newspaper publication about cheese.
Yes.
In England.
D-E-R-R-Y.
That's right.
Still works.
So we don't know if they talk like this or they talk like this.
That's a great fight, though.
English dudes in Boston do each fight in each other.
That'd be a good fight.
That'd be a very good fight.
Okay.
Town solicitor.
So many great names in this.
Town solicitor, Mike Malagudi.
Yeah.
So now I feel like we are in Boston.
Dude, Mike Maliguti.
Fucking Mike Maliguti.
Dude, Mike Maliguti.
So you're doing this accent, but Boston is a town in England.
See?
Oh.
Hello, Mike Maliguti.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Mike Maliguti.
Mike Maliguti.
Totally a different guy.
Yep.
Town solicitor Mike Maliguti and airport Commander Chris Gandia presented a resolution for the
temporary closure and gave the board some background on what's been happening there.
Maliguti told the town council that the police department has recently been made aware of
an unusual phenomenon taking place at Memorial Drive for a fight club.
He explained that because of the way the cul-de-sac circle
forms a slight depression,
it has formed a kind of fighting ring.
Like a fighting pit.
Which either means one of two options.
Someone found this little natural fighting ring.
I'll tell you where we're going to fight.
No, no.
They said someone needs to have a fight club here.
Or there was already a fight club looking for a new location.
What was the word you used?
Because it wasn't movement.
It's a slight depression.
No, no.
Before that, about what...
Sorry, you said something.
It was almost like movement, but it was a new version.
It was almost like the high-need movement.
Yeah.
I'll run it back.
Please.
Malagudi told the town council recently been made aware of an unusual phenomenon.
Phenomenon.
Okay, so it's not a movement.
It's a phenomenon.
It's a happening.
Phenomenon.
Okay, great. Phen a movement. It's a phenomenon. It's a happening. Phenomenon. Okay, great.
Phenomenon.
So somebody was like, you know what?
We should bring the...
Guys, hear me out.
I know we love this old garage.
We can fight clubbing.
It's an open air and we're in a pandemic.
Have you guys noticed this divot in the street?
It looks a little like maybe we could beat the shit out of each other.
We could fight in air.
Well, stand down here.
You fucking hit me once.
Okay.
Slight depression.
It has formed a kind of fighting ring.
The large crowds that are forming there also are leaving a significant amount of trash behind in the area.
Of course they are.
Wait, a fight club isn't being considerate of its surroundings?
I don't understand.
It's not a cleanup club, guys.
Malaguti explained that recently there have been jersey barriers
installed by the Department of Public Works
to block the circle area on the road
to prevent people from driving onto the circle.
He also added there's still enough room
for people to park if they're visiting the pet cemetery.
Whoa.
I know.
Hard left.
Whoa.
Hard left. Where's the fight club? Right over by the pet cemetery. Whoa. I know. Hard left. Whoa. Hard left.
Where's the fight club?
Right over by the pet cemetery.
So the fight club is next to the pet cemetery.
They're trying to close down the fight club,
but leave enough room for people to still go visit a horror movie.
See those dead dogs over there?
You're going to be dead dogs.
Win against this cat skeleton.
Right.
Why wouldn't you just park at the barriers and walk on into the fight club?
Because you got to be dropped off.
You need your stamina.
Yeah, you don't want to waste energy.
Save it all.
Save it for the ring.
Malagudi and Gavia.
Save it for the depression.
We're looking to close the area temporarily until a more permanent solution can be reached
and install some no trespassing signs.
That'll stop a Fight Club.
That'll stop a Fight Club, sure.
By the way, just have a Fight Club.
Just join a UFC gym.
I don't understand why. Enter town manager Kevin Smith, not. Just join a UFC gym. I don't understand why.
Enter town manager Kevin Smith, not the director.
Maybe it is.
We don't know that.
Who knows what's real?
We don't know.
He asked what ages were involved in the fighting that was happening
and was told that the ages ranged from mid to late teens,
also up to their mid-20s,
which means you could have a 14-year-old fighting a 24-year-old.
That's right.
That's the way it should be.
That's a fight club. I would watch two babies
fighting. I'd watch Jesse James Moore
go in here and start tearing shit up on these people.
I'd watch an 18-year-old fight a baby.
Counselor,
Tom Dolan,
sells insurance.
He's British, though.
Tom Dolan, I sell insurance.
He asked if this was a... This is my Dolan. He's British, though. Tom Dolan. Yep. I sell insurance. He asked.
Tom Dolan.
Tom Dolan.
This is my favorite question.
He asked if this was associated with some sort of mixed martial arts type of fighting
or just street fighting.
He wants it over here.
He wants all the styles that are going down.
If I go down there, what am I going to see?
Are we talking Rocky V?
Because I don't like that as much.
Yeah.
Right.
I can't, you know, if it's just going to be jiu-jitsu, what's the point?
Gandia replied.
My problem is I'm just curious what am I going to get into when I'm down there.
Because I wonder if it's MMA style, I've got a shot.
But grappling, I don't, I can't do it.
Gandia replied, well, the first thing about Fight Club is we don't talk about Fight Club.
Stop it.
He's been waiting this whole meeting to say that.
Let me pull this out of my back pocket.
He also, here's where-
Was that the meeting of low-hanging fruit?
Yes.
But here's the funny thing.
What he says next is way better than what he thought was the joke.
He also added that there are referees regulating the fights and that there are boxing gloves
and they're being used because they also have their own, quote, rules of conduct.
That's right.
This is a full-on club.
This is a legit club.
They've got bylaws. They're referees. This is a legit club. They've got bylaws.
They're referees.
They've got referees.
They've got audiences that are leaving trash.
Where are you going tonight, hon?
Well, I'm not supposed to talk about it.
You're in your referee shirt.
You're either going to Foot Locker or that fight club.
He also explained.
What if I'm going to Lady Foot Locker?
You didn't even think about that, did you?
It might be Baby's Foot Locker.
Maybe Kid's Foot Locker.
He also explained that the activity has been going on for how many weeks?
How many weeks has this fight club been going on?
I'm going to say at least six.
Six weeks.
I'm going to say like 40 weeks.
40 weeks.
I hope so.
22 weeks.
22 weeks.
He explained that the activity has been going on for the past four weeks.
I reckon.
And that it's mostly done on the weekend.
Yeah.
We got stuff to do during the week.
First of all, you want crowds to be able to see it.
Right.
I look forward to it.
I'm not free during the week.
Counselor Deb Paul, she's her own husband, asked whether or not they were breaking the law and could be arrested for public fighting.
Gandia replied.
I love that he keeps telling people, look, they got refs.
They got gloves and refs.
He's obviously part of the fight club.
Gandia explained that it's considered mutual combat and that they could cite them, but
they usually just give offenders a warning.
Mutual combat does make it sound pretty cool.
He's like, guys, I'll take care of this.
No, I think everyone should be. No, I got it. I got it. Mutual combat does make it sound pretty cool. He's like, guys, I'll take care of this. We're like, no, I think everyone should be,
no, I got it.
I got it.
So mutual combat makes it sound so regal.
Could you imagine if you're in a bar
with someone and you're like,
hey, buddy, I would like to challenge you
to some mutual duel.
It's like old school duel.
I appreciate that.
It's consent is what you're saying.
Yeah, I think they would say,
two people who want to fight
when it's not some sort of aggression
or anger or drunkenness,
they just must call it mutual combat.
I'd like to engage you in mutual combat.
Yes.
The council was unanimous in their vote to adopt the resolution,
and I'm going to be honest with you, I have no idea what the resolution was.
I don't even know what the resolution was.
They're going to shut the street down.
Oh, yeah, they're going to shut the street down.
Yeah, they're going to put up barriers.
Which is going to do nothing.
That's a story.
Also, they have boxing gloves? Yeah. It's all regulated. It're going to put up barriers. Which is going to do nothing. That's a story. Also, they have
boxing gloves?
Yeah.
It's all regulated.
It's kind of a
shitty fight.
I agree, too.
It should be
Baron Huckles.
It should be Baron
Huckles.
I want blood.
Yes.
There you go.
Kimbo Slice.
If it's your first
time in the cul-de-sac,
you have to fight.
Yeah.
First time in the
cul-de-sac.
By the way, the
cul-de-sac could be
the name of a UFC
arena.
Imagine if you're
just one of these
houses on the cul-de-sac.
Or a gym, some
awesome gym.
Fight it out at the cul-de-sac. Fight it out in the sack. Imagine you're one of these houses on the cul-de-sac. Or a gym, some awesome gym. Fight it out at the cul-de-sac.
Fight it out in the sack.
Imagine you're one of these houses on the cul-de-sac.
Guys, could you not?
We're just trying to have dinner.
We're literally trying to catch up on.
Dude, the sack up fight club.
Or you're walking by to bury your beloved dog.
And there's people just beating the shit out of each other.
Carrying your canary in a little shoebox.
Miles was my favorite.
Oh, I love this lizard.
Oh, God.
Those are our stories.
That's it.
What a show.
Breckin Meyer.
Love having you on the show every single time.
Patreon fans, check out his amazing story.
He tells a fantastic story about how he got injured.
Oh, man.
Many times.
On the set.
Many times, but on the set of Clueless and a little-
And how he got the black card for Subway. Many times. On the set. Many times, but on the set of Clueless and a little Easter egg. And how I got the black card for Subway.
Incredible stuff.
And we'll see you guys next week.
This is just so much fun to be back in the studio.
I love it so much.
And oh, shit.
We're back.
Thank you for having me.
We've got to get back to work.
It's a freaking chance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
