Hey townies, welcome to a Friday episode of Dumb People Town Population U Population Mancini What's. Population Mancini. What's happening, Chris Mancini? Great to be here, guys. Starburns Audio. Sweet.

Starburns Audio. You have such a great voice. You really do. I mean, we love coming on your podcast. Comedy Film Nerds. Yes. You and our buddy Graham Elwood. And then we, Jason and I, just did a very cool project that we were so honored that you had us be a part of,

which is a part of, which is a kind of a Twilight Zone-y. Yes. Conversations from the Abyss. And it's basically comedians doing creepy Twilight Zone-y horror episodes. That's awesome. And it was... Scripts that you've written. Scripts that I wrote.

Yep. And it was all like, I always look at comedians and I go, well, what can I do and what can I put them in that they're not doing already? I love the outside the box nature of it. It was a really cool one that we did. I'm so proud of what we did. It was called The Game and it's about two siblings who

have a sibling rivalry that goes in an unexpected place. That's the best way to describe it. Not only does it go in an unexpected place, but in reviewing it as they look back on their lives, they come to understand something that they thought was one thing or at least one of them. Yes.

It found out to be something very different. Where can people catch that and read that and listen to it, I mean? That is on iTunes. It's Conversations from the Abyss. And anywhere podcasts are found, you could grab it. And they're quick. They're 15 minute episodes each season has about

8 episodes in it and then there's 2 more to drop for this season and they get crazier and crazier the last one has Janet Varney

and Annie Savage from Thrilling Adventure Hour about a woman who can't make decisions on her own so she lets something else make the decisions

for her at a price Alexa you bitch. Brittany. Dumb Alexa. We have in W-Town dumb Alexa, which is just Brittany. Brittany, what am I doing? Brittany, how hot's it

going to be today? I don't know. All right, you heard her. Don't worry about it. Get in the car. Exactly. And roll up the windows. Well, we do feel like the world is getting into a car and rolling up the windows and is going to die of heat exhaustion soon, but we can stop it through comedy. We can try to crack a window through comedy. And that's what we do right here.

And again, stem the flow with jokes. That's how we do it. So we get, we get great stories sent to us by our great fans. And then we try and prove that the world is getting dumber. Dan, do we have a story? Let's jump in right now. We've got Chris Mancini here. You ready, my friend?

Might as well jump in. I'm ready. Here we go. Let's hear the dumbness. It was sent in by AE at aesthetic underscore noise. Thank you so much. Ooh, cool. What do you think of the guy?

Part-time DJ? Mm-hmm. Full-time player. There you go. There we go. Or he works in a sound booth Sound guy An Austin man was trying to boil some eggs

Keep Austin weird Is this dropping before or after we've gone to Moon Tower? I think maybe While we're there? Day of? Or after? I don't know Do we guess where the story goes from there? Is that A guy in Austin Want wanted to boil some eggs.

It turned into murder. Right. An Austin man was trying to boil some eggs. First of all, this is how South by Southwest got started. And the airline had to make a surprise landing in the ocean. But this is the most apropos Yoda quote of all. You don't try to boil eggs. You either do it or you don't.

Or do not do it. If you're trying to boil eggs, you're failing. You're going to make some omelets. You're going to have to make some omelets if you want to boil some eggs. Can you imagine right before that, what's going through the guy's head? Well, let's see how this turns out.

And that's already too much thought for boiling an egg. You know he was like, anything can happen. An Austin man was trying to boil some eggs over the weekend. A little weekend hardball. I got one thing to do this weekend. Boil some eggs and kick some ass. Looks like I'm out of eggs. Some things you got to save for the weekend.

Right. What are you doing this weekend, Mitch? I'm boiling eggs, dude. I've been wanting to do this since Wednesday. Oh, yeah? You going to Dave and Buster's? No, I'm boiling some eggs. I'm going to try to.

I'm going to try to. Why wasn't this added to the Loverboy song? Everybody's boiling for the weekend. He was trying to boil some eggs over the weekend and ended up being threatened with a knife by his roommate who was, quote, growling like a bear. Does anyone in this room know what a bear growl sounds like? Look, man.

Yeah, it's either a roar. It's a roar. He was an omelet fan. Don't poach shit in this house. Quote, Grounding like a bear, an arrest affidavit filed in Travis County Sunday morning says, Austin police responded to a southeast Austin home

in the 2500 block of Village Trail Circle. Not much on the trail. Put it on the walking tour. Around 517 p.m. Put it on the walking tour. Around 5.17 p.m. I love when they do that. Around 5.17 p.m. I feel like you got to pick a side, though. You either threaten someone with a knife or

growl like a bear. Why are you doing both? It's almost as bad as trying to boil some eggs. Either you do it or you don't. Yeah, you're right, because I'm like, am I... Pick something. This is like indecisive. Am I supposed to deal with you't Yeah you're right Pick something Am I supposed to deal with you as though you're a bear And just make myself big

Or am I supposed to deal with you as though we're in a knife fight In which case I need another knife Or make yourself small But I do have this pot of boiling water That I don't know what to do with I'm just trying here man I'm trying All I wanted to do this weekend

was give those eggs the old college try. The old UT try. Hook them horns. Hook them horns. I'm giving it a try. God damn it. I just want to boil some eggs and not get stabbed. This always happens. Try and try and try. That's why I said try, man.

That's why I said try. So it happens at Village Trail Circle around 517 p.m. around on Saturday for a disturbance between Thomas Patrick Whiteside and his roommate T. Patrick Whiteside T. P. W. Is the is the bad guy in this. I

think that's why he's the only B. T. Doves is by the way T. P. Doves is like just back off. Yeah, back off. T-P-dubs. Tommy Patrick T-Pat. There's so many names you could go.

Tommy Patrick Whiteside. It's one of my favorite killer songs, by the way. Oh, yeah. I'm Mr. Whiteside. Whiteside's roommate, whose name I don't think we get because he's the victim, quote, stated the whole. There's also so many times this article needed commas and doesn't have them.

Stated, the whole argument started because he was boiling some eggs on the stove in the kitchen and Thomas Patrick Whiteside had a problem with it. Who? Who has a problem with it? I know. That should be on your Craigslist. Although I will say this. 420 friendly, hate hard-boiled eggs.

I will say this. I was eating a Hate hard-boiled eggs. I will say this. I was eating a hard-boiled egg today. Really? They're a good fill you up. I held it in my hands and I was like, this is savage what I'm doing right now. I'm just taking what was a baby something and just with my teeth ripping it to shreds. You got a little bit of salt on there or just straight up? Straight up.

You can't eat a hard-boiled egg around Tim Tebow. You know that, right? Yeah, you're right. He is not in favor of that. It's a trouble trigger. Can I ask you where you got it? Was this a gas station hard-boiled egg? No.

This was, and I am embarrassed to say this because I actually make good hard-boiled eggs. Trader Joe's bag of hard-boiled eggs. Bag of hard-boiled eggs. No way. How lazy Joe's bag of hardball bags. Bag of hardball bags. No way. How lazy am I? You're not trying at all. I gave up. You never see anybody drive and eat one, though.

Oh, then you weren't following me around today. Because I ate half of it in my laundry room and the other half down on Lowell Canyon. As he's driving with his elbow on the steering wheel, sprinkle just a little bit of salt on top. I don't have a minute to finish this. I need to get in my car. I'm in a rush. What are you doing with a bag of hard-boiled eggs?

I didn't have the bag with me, but the bag was in my fridge. I'll tell you why I got them. Put them in salads. I slice them up and put them in salads, and it makes one of their bagged salads which is something else that I'm not proud that I get. That's how little energy I have to make anything. I'd rather you make these

choices than make bad food choices. Right? So I'm like, look what I just did. Buying a bagged salad is nothing to be ashamed of. No, and then it's got the stuff and then I put it in. Now eating in your laundry room, that is something to be ashamed of. I was eating as I was turning on the alarm As I was walking out the door

Half the egg and then I took it out If tossing someone's salad in prison We all know what that is Bagging someone's salad has got to be one step worse In prison That's got to involve like three people Did I tell you about Jay Sklar? That motherfucker

Had his salad bagged That motherfucker He took a hard boiled egg in the laundry room Did I tell you about J. Sklar? Dude, I bet he had his salad bagged. Oh, dude. That motherfucker. He took a hard-boiled egg in the laundry room. Ah! Stop. You get his bags? His salad bagged?

I'm telling you. He bagged his salad. I'm telling you. That's why he doesn't do that detail anymore. That's why he works in the prison library. He works in the prison library from here on out. Well, that's how you get a tattoo. Right.

I saw Oz. Yeah. It's not a teardrop. It's an egg shape. Yeah. It's not a teardrop. It's an egg shape. Yeah. It's a tiny egg next to your eye. So anyway,

Thomas Patrick Weiser. So he was mad that this was going on. He had a problem with it. Right. All right. I got a problem with you and your hard-boiled eggs.

Did he specify? Whiteside began yelling that his roommate was going to burn the house down. Okay. The roommate who had gone into his room while the eggs were boiling on the stove,

told Thomas Patrick Whiteside that he didn't need him to tell him how to boil eggs. Okay, so now I'm like, I kind of am seeing... Now I don't know whose side I'm on. Now I'm a little bit on Whiteside. I'm like, what do I have to do? Growl like a bear to get this guy to see what's going on? 5.17 p.m. I'm assuming Thomas Patrick Whiteside is drunk.

I'm guessing. Thomas Patrick Whiteside. We say that 6 p.m. is the 3 a.m. of day drinking. So he's almost at the end of the night of the day. But here's my question. And you've had hard-boiled eggs before. Of course. You have a child.

I love the questions that come out of these episodes. Chris Mancini has hard boiled an egg, let's be honest. And also under the threat of a knife, but go ahead. Your wife is very, very temperamental. It has to be right. The idea of if there is not enough water in there,

the sound of the water splashing up and hitting the other side is scary. And the smell of the bottom of the water splashing up and hitting the other side is scary. And the smell of the bottom of the pot burning. That could lead someone to believe that this... Now, let me just clarify. Was it Easter? No.

No, we're not even on Easter yet. It was like around mid-February. So it was a Valentine's Day dinner. Dan, if you're doing the news sing-songy reporter voice, are you saying, and that's when the hard-boiled eggs turn to deviled eggs? Well, so. Is that when that comes in? You're not wrong.

The headline to this is, argument over eggs boils over into knife encounter. Looks like someone's afternoon plans got scrambled, but the yolk was on David. Yeah, that's good, too. How do we get from, like, boiling the eggs to growling like a bear to knife fight? You go right through dumb people. I was going to say, you know, that's a weird constellation to connect.

I know. Okay, so Whiteside yells at him, you're going to burn the house down. You're going to burn the house down. You're going to burn the house down. He's like, don't tell me how. Yeah, we'll just call the other roommate. You're going to burn the house down with hot water. Right.

Go ahead. Right, exactly. Don't tell me how to boil my eggs is what he says when he's in his room not watching the eggs. I don't need you to tell me how to boil my eggs. I'm calling Grant for the rest of the story. So Grant was like, don't tell me. I don't need you to tell me how to boil an egg. The roommate, oh, here we go. The roommate

told police that Thomas Patrick Whiteside had come home drunk that day. Of course. Dan, you were so right. Probably took an Uber, right guys? Probably took an Uber. Sure, he didn't drive his own vehicle. He's like driving with like four shopping carts connected to the front of work. Thomas Patrick Whiteside, quote,

kept going on about the eggs. Yeah. You never don't. Roll. Thomas Patrick Whiteside Quote Kept going on About the eggs Yeah You gotta burn it Don't Roll So the roommate Went to the kitchen To retrieve them So that means

He's in The kitchen Yelling about the eggs To Grant And Grant is in his room Not even like Right And finally he's like

Alright fine Fine I'll get the eggs You know this whole thing With growling like a bear I mean it might affect his job as a park ranger. Sure.

Well, or it could be the job as a park ranger affecting him. Right. You never know. Maybe he just wanted his picnic basket. This is what... I hate it when he brings his work home with him. Yeah. This is what the grizzly man could have been.

That's right. May he rest in peace. Don't ever listen to that. May he rest in peace. So Grant says, Thomas Patrick Whiteside kept going on about the eggs. So Grant went to the kitchen to retrieve them and found Thomas Patrick Whiteside standing in front of the kitchen sink. When the roommate told Thomas Patrick Whiteside not to worry about the eggs, Thomas Patrick Whiteside turned around holding a steak knife with a four-inch serrated blade.

Serrated blade. According to this article, a serrated blade. Well, that's a special Game of Thrones blade that kills White Walkers. That's right. Okay, very good. You got to hit them right between the eyes, and then they turn to glass and then fall down. It's a form of dragon glass. This is spelled S-I-R space, the number eight.

It's a license plate spell. Serrated blade. Okay, but here it spelled S-I-R space, the number eight. Sir Eight. It's a license plate spell. Sir Eight Plate. So, but, okay, but here is, it comes to the, I love how in these stories, Chris, always something comes up. To a head. That is to a head or we can learn a lesson from this. Right. If someone is drunk and speaking irrationally, there are some things you can't say to him,

to him or her. Number one, you can't say, calm down. That's the worst thing you can say to someone who's drunk. You have to say, I understand everything that you're saying, and you're right. Okay, whatever you're saying, like, lie to them and be like, you're right. Why don't you go to your room, and I'll take care of it right now. This was me when I was a door guy. I'd always be like, I hear you, man.

Come over here. Let's talk about it outside. I'm with you, man. Dude, I hear what you're saying. I can't hear you in here. Let's go outside. Okay, that's number one. Number two, don't ever say to someone, relax, I've got it.

Right. Because relax. Or I don't need you to tell me how to do it. I'll take care of it. Like, all those things are like the exact, you're, because. Tell you how you're wrong. That's right. What you're doing, the person's going to interpret it by saying, like, you're, what are you calling

me, an asshole? Yeah. What's crazy is all those things were written out on their roommate agreement on the wall. It's like, you guys are breaking every rule. No wonder this escalated. The men were standing three to four feet apart. Small kitchen. Galley kitchen.

When Whiteside got into the squatting position. This is where Chris is totally right. Pick your maneuver. How do I need to process this threat? Squatting all the way down to me. If you got into a fight with someone or someone was belligerent towards you and then

they squatted all the way down, you would be scared. I'm always scared if there's a fight. I'm instantly scared if the other person takes their shirt off. It's not like, oh, you're a pro. You've been through this too many times. That's either frog kung fu or taking a dump.

I'm not even sure what it's going to be. I'm like, you've done this before or something's happening. Or you know how if you spring up from a crouching position with a knife that you could like kill me and once up into my neck or up into my chest.

Isn't that a Mortal Kombat finishing move? It is. It's a Tekken 3 finishing move. Frog squat up to finish. Grant walks in and goes, what about the damn eggs? And then TPW turns around with the knife.

It goes into the squatting position. Let's talk about this cinematically. Okay, Chris? Light coming in from outside. It's a push in and a rack focus. So it's like one of those. Or it's a pull out and a rack focus. I'm seeing a fan, too.

A fan in the window that's slowly in slow motion. He turns around and he's brandishing the knife, which the light immediately hits. Ding. Cut to Grant. Cut back to TPW on a Dutch angle. He's low. Okay, so then he gets in the squatting position. That's TPW. Then he moved the knife up

and down and said, come on, come on. And began, quote, growling like a bear. Is this like Fatal Attraction when he's cutting his leg but doesn't know it? Yeah. Like, is it that like level of crazy? Come on. Grant walked away from Thomas Patrick Whiteside and

got his eggs off the stove. That's my favorite part of it. He wasn't even blocking the eggs. He just went, okay, man. Got his eggs. Okay, buddy. Got his eggs and walked up. And then started the fire. Left it on. Threw a rag on top of the open flame.

Oh, you were right, bear man. It took huevos to take those eggs. Bear knife. This sentence I'm about to say makes no... I don't even know why this is included in here. But we love it. During the time of the roommate walking away, Thomas Patrick Whiteside switched

to holding the knife in his left hand. So he just threw it. Who cares? He was watching a prison movie at the time. That's what happens. When you're a jet, baby. There's an editor at this newspaper who's like, well, we don't know where

like, which hand is he holding it in? When he leaves the room, what hand is it in? I don't know where we are in the space. This article won't fit on Google unless we add four more words. That happens a lot in Dumb People's Out. Thomas Patrick Whiteside has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Court documents say he was in the Travis County Jail on Monday with a bail set at $10,000. But he didn't charge after. He didn't do anything. You just on Monday With a bail set at $10,000

But he didn't charge after He didn't do anything You just can't pull a knife on somebody Are they still going to be roommates? That's going to be awkward Hey man, do you have the rent money? I got this hard-boiled egg No, but the guy gets the eggs and just turns around and leaves

To me, it's the equivalent of a guy A man or woman at a bowling party Who bowls and then just turns around and walks away. I agree with you. You don't want to see what happens? Can I also just, because we got a movie buff on this thing and we're talking about eggs and eating eggs,

can I tell you how overrated the Cool Hand Luke eating eggs scene it just is at this point? It's like every dude who doesn't know anything about movies who's like, I'm a guy's guy and I love me some Paul Newman. He's my guy.

That eating egg scene, that's the best scene in any movie. Have you seen it? Have you seen it recently? Yeah, it's okay. He's in prison and it's a food challenge. Yeah, like a far more interesting scene is in the movie Slapshot where he goes over to the owner's wife's house

and realizes that his team's not getting sold. That's a way more interesting scene. Yeah, coach. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we're going to play Guess the Age on Thomas and Patrick Whiteside. Chris Mancini is with us. Stay with us. Stick around.

Make a sound. There's more Dumb People Town. Alright, we're back. Welcome back, everybody. Chris Mancini from the great podcast Comedy Film Nerds and he has his own series that's kind of like a Twilight Zone style series

using comics doing sort of non-comic-y things participating in these amazing little Twilight Zone Tales from the Abyss. Yes. Conversations from the Abyss. I'm little Twilight Zone tales from the abyss yes

conversations from the abyss I'm sorry conversations from the abyss and it's you know just creepy creepy conversations really cool stuff on you can check that out

on iTunes we did an episode called The Game yes it's awesome Chris I want to ask you a little side note then we'll play this

what is your most anticipated film this year yeah that's a great question wow that is a good question honestly it's a it's a bit of a cliche, but it's been, what,

20 to 30 movies leading up to it. I really want to see the next Avengers movie. It's me too, man. I mean, I've already bought tickets. You did buy them?

I bought them for my entire family. Whether they can go or not, don't care. Right. But I will be there. I am so excited for Endgame. And I think that

Infinity War is almost perfect. I loved Endgame. You almost perfect. I loved it. You can't walk into it standalone. You have to know what's going on. But I just started watching it the other day just to put on. I'm like, this opening scene is so great. What did you think of Captain Marvel? I like Captain Marvel, but not my favorite Marvel movie. Yeah, I didn't think there was enough stakes.

No, I'm dead serious. I wasn't worried about anything. There were also not enough writers on it, apparently. If you look at the credits, it was like, oh, that's always a good sign. Yeah. Whenever there's... A lot of ampersands. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So, everyone got to write 15 minutes on this movie. Fantastic. But, you know, even a misfire for Marvel is still a good movie. It's like Pixar. Like, all right, well, Cars wasn't great, but, you know, it's a great ride. Cars wasn't great. So, there's always something. Yeah, it's true. It is a great movie. It's like Pixar. Cars wasn't great, but it's a great ride. So there's always something.

It's true. It is a great ride. But then there's all these sequels of Cars. You never answer the unanswered questions. Cars 2 is terrible. Cars 2 is so complicated. Like as far as a kid's movie. The guy who's

using fake fuel is actually gas. It's not... It's like, what is going on? Like, why are we turning this into a James Bond spy movie? And never got the question answered. When did the cars become sentient and kill all the people? Right. Because we never get that answer.

Because, oh, they still have doors. So, clearly, there were people here at one point. That's such a great point. Of course. That is a great, great scene. I love that you're looking forward to that. I am as well. I want to ask you one other quick question really fast. Doesn't it seem that DC

seems to excel better outside of Shazam, which is a pretty good movie and it's fun. They seem to do so much better when they're taking it super seriously in contrast to Marvel, which seems to have found a very way to have stakes and invest in characters, but also be very fun.

Like the new Joker trailer with walking Phoenix looks unreal. And obviously, by the way, that blew me away. Every comedian is one heckler away from being the Joker, right? Let's just start there. One bad set away from being the Joker.

So it's like, okay, yeah. Is this a documentary? I know that guy. Yeah. I think, I think, I think what they're doing with that it's like, okay, yeah. Is this a documentary? I know that guy. Yeah. That's me. I think what they're doing with that movie is like they're actually going to some really cool source material, like The Killing Joke.

Yes. Which is a great graphic novel. And I think that first half when you see him struggling as a comedian and eventually becoming the Joker, I think that's the basis for this film for sure. So I don't know. It's one of those things where like am I getting the whole story from the trailer? And I think it could go either way. Like I'm cautiously optimistic. You're hoping that it goes the correct way.

Yeah, but I'm wondering if it doesn't. I have a lot of faith in Joaquin Phoenix. I just think like he is the, he is the, he is a perfect choice to play this guy. I'm like, name another person who would be great in that role. Michael Shannon.

I was going to say T.P.W. Yes. Jay brings it all the way back. That would make sense. If the Joker was trying to stab you and growling like a bear, I'd buy it. Thank you. This guy could be the Joker. Also, for all you comedy fans, Gary Goldman in the trailer for the new Joker movie. Really?

Yeah. He's doing standup when Joaquin's watching. That's great. Okay. Ready? Here we go. We'll get out of here on this. How old? That was by the way, number 49 and Gary Goldman's comedy tips. Always do comedy in the trailer. It helps. How old is Thomas Patrick Whiteside? Chris, you are a guest. You can either pick first or you can either decide to give your answer first, Tig, which is in between me and Jason, or third. I'm going first. Okay. And give your reasoning.

I would say he's an angry 30, trying to figure things out, but failing and getting drunk. Okay. Got it. Jason? Jason? Roommate, so I'm going to say 24. Okay.

Interesting. I think getting angry about eggs is not, like, young people don't give a shit about that stuff. They really don't. Angry about eggs is a lot of stuff has not gone right for a long time. Okay, and this is always the last straw. I think he's 43. Okay. Yep.

Yeah, it has that smell of, if one more thing happens today. It's the Joker. He's happy that Austin Has become so popular But hates it at the same time He's like I gotta move It's too expensive Alright Thomas Patrick

Whiteside the third Who's worried about this Goddamn House burning down He is concerned I know He is 50 years old

Oh my god Still has a roommate I was right I know Jay is 50 years old. Oh my God. Still has a roommate. I know, Jay, all this time in Dumb People Town, and you still think roommates are a young person's game? In Dumb People Town, roommates are the... Roommates are for life. Or court ordered. You are not allowed to live alone, sir.

Don't forget, what's his face? From the HBO documentary. Oh, Robert Durst. Had a roommate in Galveston. Had a roommate in Galveston. Man, I really shorted the failure bet on that. You gave him so much credit. But I think you had the angry part right. You said an angry 30.

Give us a couple of decades. Here's what I'm glad. I'm glad that no one got cut. But I do worry about this. Moving forward? I worry about the next lease with these guys. Yeah, I know. They're definitely losing the deposit.

Or I got an idea, and maybe this guy can do it. He shows up, and because they do it at Trader Joe's, Jay, maybe they listen to this podcast. He shows up with a bag full of eggs. Yeah. A bag full of hard-boiled eggs

as saying this is my peace offering. There you go. Maybe we're being a little pessimistic here, but what if the best thing happens out of this? One guy becomes a chef. The other one joins Cirque du Soleil. Thank you. Love it.

Anything could happen. Love it. Thank you. Love it. And he just has great knife skills. Right. There you go. All right.

There you go. That's how we do it. Again, Chris Mancini, follow you on the Twitters, which is? Chris J. Mancini. Chris J. Mancini. M-A-N-C-I-N-I. Yes. Again, Conversations from the Abyss. Yes.

Which, check that out. We're very excited and so happy that we're a part of it. And, of course, Comedy Film Nerds. It is fantastic. And just one thing I wanted to mention is the graphic novel is coming out on Starburns Press. Oh, great. Fantastic. I'm so excited about that, too.

You've done such great work. Tell them what the graphic novel name is going to be. It is Long Ago and Far Away and is a cross between Narnia and Clerks. Basically, I think I'm fixated on 30-year-olds. A 30-year-old goes back into that world after he was there as a kid, but now he's trying to save the world as a 30-year-old angry failure. There you go. I love it. Could be boiling eggs in this one.

We don't know. Or try it out. Starburns Press putting that out. That's very cool too. Chris Mancini, thank you so much for joining us in Dumb People Town. Great to be here. Thanks, guys. And oh shit, we've got to get back to work.

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum. Stick around, make a sound, come here down, it's Dumb People Town.
