Starting point is 00:00:59 Welcome buddy Thank you so much for having me In your In the township In your dumb town Yeah We love having you in our dumb town. Well, I don't know if you feel this, but we have really started to feel this in this world
Starting point is 00:01:10 that we live in, that it is getting dumber all around us. It's not just the town. No, it's everywhere. It's quite possibly everywhere. So we say, and tell us if you agree, that the only way to combat that dumbness that is basically enveloping us is to beat it back with comedy. Absolutely. If we can make fun of it, we can try and understand it.
Starting point is 00:01:29 We take the air out of it. Yes. So we get great stories sent to us by our great fans who, by the way, thank you to everybody who came out and saw the live show with Jonah Ray, who have joined the Facebook page, who rate this podcast and review it. And review it. We're almost up to 1,000 reviews, which is fantastic. Who go to the places on the walking tour of DPT and tell us what it's really like. I mean, we've created...
Starting point is 00:01:53 If a man takes a shit next to the highway and throws it in the woods, I guarantee you five to seven people on our Facebook page will go there. Have visited the area. And then tag you in the photo. Feels good. If a man takes a shit and throws it in the woods
Starting point is 00:02:05 does anyone hear it yeah you do our people do dumb people townies uh well dude i'm so happy you're here again i we'll get in and talk about all the wonderful projects that you're doing but i want people to know about the tower records documentary that i watched that was less of a documentary about tower records and more of like an exploration of the music industry getting over its skis a certain part of it being wonderful and beautiful
Starting point is 00:02:34 and the epicenter of everything and then completely falling apart in your hometown of Sactown Sacramento, California what an unbelievable documentary tell everybody where they can see it And the name of it and all that It's called All Things Must Pass
Starting point is 00:02:48 It's sort of everywhere that you can find Movies iTunes, Netflix, Amazon iTunes for sure, not Netflix Amazonian It may be on Amazon Or at least I know you can buy the DVD on Amazon Hell yes
Starting point is 00:03:04 It's also if you have the Showtime app it's for free on the Showtime app. If you love music and I know a lot of people who listen to this podcast and if you consumed music by going to a Tower Records I remember living in New York City
Starting point is 00:03:20 and the Tower Records on 3rd Street and Broadway that was where you went and the one records on third street they talk all about that probably yeah that was where you went it was sunset here it's what's crazy now is that we are officially over 10 years since the tower records have closed and so it's getting more and more distant so the amount of people that can say like i remember buying a record at a tower records is like one group and then there's another group of, I remember buying records, just period, point blank, like anywhere,
Starting point is 00:03:46 yeah. Well, the footage, didn't they remake it, didn't they sort of restyle Tower Records for a movie here on Sunset? they might have. Well,
Starting point is 00:03:53 so we painted up the old Tower store, we did that for our premiere. Oh shit. It's still up, it's still there. Yeah, and it's still up, and the great people over at Gibson Guitars
Starting point is 00:04:02 have kept it up, and they kept up a poster for our movie. It's the only poster for a movie that I've directed. Yeah, I love it. You directed it. Take it. It's the only billboard I got, and it's technically free. But yeah, so that's still up.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And then what's interesting is throughout the course of, I'd say, maybe the last four four or five years tower has popped up in more and more movies there was a glimpse of it in uh straight out of compton there's a glimpse of it in um not the good guys that was the tv show that i was on but the nice guys yeah yeah and then not to be confused with the other guys with our good friend mark walbert that's right the other guys but uh so it friend Mark Wahlberg. That's right. The other guys, the nice guys, the good guys. So it's starting to, like Tower is like popping up in all these places. And so every now and again, someone will be like, oh, I saw Tower Records in a movie. Yeah. And I go, which one?
Starting point is 00:04:55 And we can't find out which movie it is. It's one of five. Yeah. It's always. If Amoeba had any balls. And I know it's just an Amoeba, for Christ's sake. So do they have male or female genitalia? They don't need it.
Starting point is 00:05:02 And I know it's just an Amiibo, for Christ's sake. So do they have male or female genitalia? They don't need it. They should buy that store up and have that be like a satellite location on Sunset and sell records out of there. To me, I feel like... Just records. Just records. Just records.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Move their record shop from the back of there and put it over there. I just feel like that would be a ballsy move. One of my favorite things in the doc was that footage of Elton John. I was just going to say that. Would he go in before the store opened or would they kick everybody out? No, no, no. They would let him in before the store opened. The stores would open at 9 and they would let him in before the store opened.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Now, were you affiliated or did you get any heads up? Because I know in February of last year, Elton did a surprise concert at the Tower Records at that building. Yeah. So, yeah. So, that was, he kind of borrowed from our playbook for the premiere. He's got a lot of clout with the city of West Hollywood because he does his big fundraiser. Which is weird because he's straight. Yeah. Very anti-gay. He does his big yearly fundraiser in West Hollywood because he does his weird fundraiser. Which is weird because he's straight. Very anti-gay. He does his
Starting point is 00:06:06 big yearly fundraiser in West Hollywood. West Hollywood was always very friendly towards us and they said, you know, if you could get someone like Elton to hop on board with your premiere, you can have pretty much anything that you want.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And we got him in the movie and we said, that was like one and a half asks too much. Like, I don't want to ask anymore. The way we felt when we asked you to do this. But so basically, we had sort of paved the road for like the idea of more events at that space. And Gibson has been really adamant
Starting point is 00:06:44 that they want to do similar things at that space and gibson has been really adamant that they want to do similar things at that location and so we sort of paved the road so to speak with the idea of like getting the city comfortable with big events there and closing down traffic and doing all those sorts of things and um and so basically when elton was like, I really want to do something again at that location now that the signage is back up, West Hollywood was like, well, yes, we'd love that. And we've already done it with the Tower documentary and the Eagles of Death metal that played.
Starting point is 00:07:13 So yeah, whatever you want to do. And so I was out of town when it happened, but I watched it on the feed. I was taking more screen grabs because it was so beautiful just seeing the building with all those people there. It was really cool. And then Guns N' Roses did a whole thing at that location. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:07:29 I didn't know that. Yeah. When they did their opening sort of kickoff show at the Troubadour, they gave all the tickets away at that Tower Records. And they had like a Guns N' Roses experience on the inside. And Guns N' Roses was actually cool enough to keep our tower poster up which was pretty sweet yeah it did it just has a place in like everybody's heart from like yeah the kid who would go there when they were 15 to that tower workers all the way up to like elton john and but the story about the tower up in sacramento as being emblematic of every
Starting point is 00:08:01 record store in every city the coolest people work people worked there. They were holier than thou because they knew more than you. And I mean, there was just this culture of like, you want to go and feel like where everything's happening, the epicenter of what's cool, you go right to your record store and that's where it's going to happen and that's what it was. That was one of the things we really wanted to try and talk about in the movie is this idea that it was this place. It doesn't matter what you were into.
Starting point is 00:08:26 It doesn't matter what you dress like, what you look like, what your beliefs were. There was a safe place that you could go. I mean, this is kind of something that people are looking for in this day and age, but it's this place that you could go to and, and there's no age requirement,
Starting point is 00:08:41 you know, it's not like a bar, but yet it has all the elements. They're just, they're just, they're just sl just slinging records they're not slinging slinging drinks they're not yeah they're not slinging drinks we're slinging stories we're slinging stories about dumb people and i know we've got one dan i want to talk about other stuff we'll get to that in the next yeah the next break but daniel we got colin here let's play there's so many dumb people in this first story. I can't wait. All the way. I do love that you keep tallies of people's locations.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yes. And their dumbness. The dumb people town walking tour. We're just building it right now. The victims are dumb on some level. I love it. The perpetrator is dumb. The perpetrator is dumb.
Starting point is 00:09:19 The cops. And I'm sad to say it, in this scenario, the cops, they call victim as well. It was sent in by Jeremy Baker at Fancy Pants WTVD. I hope that's a station that he works for. WTVD. You're on with Fancy Pants in the morning, WTVD. What if it's his version of not swearing, but being like, what the fuck, dude? Or like, that's...
Starting point is 00:09:43 WTVD is his way. All right. What the fuck? WTVD. I remind people. It's a while. I should remind people because we do get tons of new listeners. All you have to do is hashtag dumb people town at Daniel Van Kirk on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And then I just go through the timeline and I go. First one up. And I see it. Yeah. Jeremy Baker sent this to you. So thanks, Jeremy. Thanks for being a Tony. go through the timeline and i go first one up and i see it yeah jeremy baker sent this too so thanks jeremy thanks for being a tony after an argument the first sentence alone is gonna tell you how dumb this whole nothing good ever comes out unless it's after an argument two people apologize they
Starting point is 00:10:15 made up that's the that's not a story pressures yes adrenaline after an argument sparked by how pepperoni and cheese should be placed on a pizza. The good, the stuff of life. This is the good fight. This is, to me, already... This fight has been going on for centuries, Dan. I was going to say, this is a fight also about something else.
Starting point is 00:10:39 It's not about pepperoni. Were you witness or were you involved? No, don't put it there, Cheryl. Oh, if you're finding out where the cheese and pepperoni are placed on a pizza, there's other things that are under the rug. This is something my kids would fight about. Someone doesn't think someone's pretty anymore. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Yeah. After, I'll read it after full sentence. After an argument sparked by how pepperoni and cheese were placed on a pizza, should be placed on a pizza, a Pizza Hut supervisor pepper sprayed a co-worker. That is dialing it up. It's weird because the argument itself is too small to be an argument and then the reaction is too big to be appropriate. And I bet the guy's like oh i might
Starting point is 00:11:25 not know where to put pepperoni but i know where to put pepper spray boom face down or there's the person is driving to work that day is like someone gonna get pepper spray i'm gonna throw this pepperoni at this person but somehow i don't think that's gonna be enough so i'm gonna spray i'm gonna make my point i'm gonna make my point lob tear gas in their face. Guys, we're skipping the part where I said supervisor. This is the supervisor. They're setting the culture of that Pizza Hut locker room. That's right. They're saying, look.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Poor Pizza Hut employees. Dan, have you ever worked at a Pizza Hut? No, but who did we have on? We had Guy on. Guy Branham worked at Domino's. He worked at Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut or Domino's. And I just remember-
Starting point is 00:12:04 Pictures of Coke. Pictures of Coke. Pictures of Coke. Plastic pictures of Coke. Plastic red cups. They served beer there. And then they would have the pizza buffet in Rochelle, Illinois. And I'd always burn my- It's documented.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I'd burn my mouth on the dessert pizza every single time. Way too piping hot. Yeah, that sounds accurate for every pizza experience. Every pizza parlor experience. Yes. Like a true parlor yes yeah there's a claw machine a base and a tabletop arcade every lamp is a tiffany lamp there's always a baseball team celebrating their end of year yeah of course you this is what we did cleats eating food end of year and someone at the other table going when does this season end? No, new season starts in two weeks.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Kids and Cleets might have to be the name of this show. I want Seinfeld to do a TV show called Kids and Cleets Eating Food. Kids and Cleets Eating Food. The one in Rochelle really did have tabletop Ms. Pac-Man. And you could sit there and eat your pizza and play at the same time. Tabletop Defender.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Hey man, it's a tabletop. I love a good tabletop whose fault was it I want to know who started oh here we go Sandy Springs Police is that the most friendly like sounding
Starting point is 00:13:10 hello welcome to Sandy Springs now you played a cop on TV yeah I have you played a cop you played a cop
Starting point is 00:13:18 in a small town small town I've told you this to your face your scene with Billy Bob Thornton when he tells you to keep driving.
Starting point is 00:13:25 It's one of my favorite scenes of all time. Really? Cause all I wanted to do is welcome to Duluth. Andy Springs. Do you know why I pulled you over? Wait, why are you doing a gay? I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:13:41 No, he's just a feminine. No, this is just, I'm in character. Just if you can, let's throw one away. We've got it that way. That one was for you. Let's throw it. he's just a feminine no this is just I'm in character I know but just if you could let's throw one away we've got it that way that one was for you
Starting point is 00:13:48 let's throw it let's just throw it away do one for us now more along the tone of the show if you could that'd be great do you know why
Starting point is 00:13:55 I pulled you over again I don't feel like that's a native it's a weird voice choice okay there sorry there we go there we go
Starting point is 00:14:03 was that your way in I always say when I do like characters I have a certain sentence that gets me into the voice. I told them during the audition, I said, my accent is going to be all over the place, but it's somewhere between Chicago and Canada, eh? Yeah. And if you give me the part, I will whittle it down to Minnesota. You'll find the pocket. Which is actually very accurate. That is a really smart way to go in an audition i watched aaron paul's audition for breaking bad
Starting point is 00:14:33 did he get it uh spoiler alert jesus damn i'm gonna spoil it for these people and i was like man you gotta go in an audition you gotta be off book you gotta be feeling he was reading he was sitting down on a couch a lot of times reading the lines and looking up and but looking down a lot and they just were like this guy's what we're looking for in this moment right here but the fact that you admitted that look i don't have it down right now yeah i know that's a really important part of it and i don't have it down right now it's. I know that's a really important part of it, and I don't have it down right now. It's going to be all over. But I'm going to tell you something.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I will get it. You give it to me, and I will get it. That is a great way to approach that. Well, it's also, I always find it's good to just set a bar low. Because then if you do better, then you look like a genius. That's a good rule for dumb people, Tom. It's a good rule for life. Everyone in this town is supervising producers.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Sandy Springs Police. Bury that bar in the Sandy Springs. Sandy Springs police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Anderson Ramone Lewis. Three last names. He is a 1980s soul singer. Anderson Ramone Lewis. Anderson Lewis sounds like a guy who's on CNN 180. On UNLV.
Starting point is 00:15:43 ARL, baby. Anderson Lewis. Anderson Lewis sounds like Clark CNN 180. ARL, baby. Anderson Lewis. Anderson Lewis sounds like Clark Gregg. Yes, very true. They've issued a warrant for his arrest for disorderly conduct. The pepper spray was discharged in the direction of the female victim's face, but police say it didn't harm her because it landed on her arm. So the male supervisor pepper sprayed the female.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Tried to. Tried to pepper spray. Well, I guess he technically did. No, he did. He did. It's on the arm. It's on the arm. It's on the arm.
Starting point is 00:16:12 It touched her. The male supervisor pepper sprayed the female employee. After trying to mansplain to her how ingredients should be put on. And then he couldn't even properly pepper spray somebody. He didn't know where to put the pepper spray. No, after he comes at her heart about where she's putting cheese and pepperoni on a Pizza Hut pizza.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I feel like pepper is really the loose thread here. Yeah, it is. It is. It is. It's a story held together by pepper. That was her name, Pepper. According to report, police responded to the Pizza Hut at 4920 Roswell road guys you can go there 49 20 roswell road i love it sandy
Starting point is 00:16:52 springs sandy springs periscope it go in uh around tuesday at tuesday around 7 p.m we're dinner dinner rush crowded crowded showroom doing over pizza did you say showroom yeah they got pizza hot off the showroom floor dominique on the main stage if anybody goes to rita at the bar i if anyone goes to this pizza and puts it on facebook i just want them to be like here in the showroom at pizza hut for dumb people town and i want a photo of someone eating a pepperoni pizza yes of course by the way meat lovers how many people have when they go to pizza said say when do they say i love the placement of pepperoni yes like the placement of pepperoni is great the pizza is not good no one has ever said that they love the placement of it but i guarantee you there are plenty of grandpas
Starting point is 00:17:42 that have complained about there's too much pepperoni on this one slice. Witnesses told police that two employees... Witnesses told police. So these people are just watching the show. Yes. Witnesses told police that... They're watching the show. Now, these witnesses may have been at the chef's table.
Starting point is 00:18:00 So they may have been... When you're eating at the chef's table... I'm just saying it could be... I hope it's kind of like a Medieval Times thing. Like, oh, it's like a dinner and a show, babe. While you're eating at the chef's table I'm just saying I hope it's kind of like a medieval times thing like oh it's like a dinner and a show Oh it is While you're in the showroom
Starting point is 00:18:07 Pour me some of that pitcher of soda When Bourdain went there In medieval times therefore there are no forks at medieval times Exactly Witnesses told police
Starting point is 00:18:15 that two employees had a verbal altercation that ended up with Lewis using pepper spray They just could pick one of his last names Does he have it on him or is that just back
Starting point is 00:18:23 in the Police said Witness witnesses told them that Anderson Ramon Lewis initially confronted the victim about the placement of pizza ingredients before telling her that she quote, needed to go home or get fired. She responded
Starting point is 00:18:38 by telling Lewis he was not her manager. Which to me, I hope she said not even looking at it. Not even looking. No emotion. No emotion either. Slap him down. As she's placing those pepperonis.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Slap him down. Well, you're not even my manager. Well, Andy. It's Anderson. Call me Anderson. Okay, Andy. I'm not even looking at you. You are not my manager. So I'm not going home and I'm not getting fired.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Dealing out pepperoni like it's cards. Or she just starts putting it all on one side. All one slice. One slice, Andy. All one slice. Or she puts it down, like pats her hand, does like the magic wand, and says, you're not my manager. Like I'm leaving the blackjack table.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Or she only puts it on the crust. You're not my manager. That pan crust. Just the supervisor, not the manager. Not the manager. So there's a whole, they've got a whole system. There's like corporals. The Pizza Hut. This bullshit is going downhill. going downhill the hierarchy is really hard to understand witnesses
Starting point is 00:19:30 we're all i'll get the patriarchy of the hierarchy of the pizza and it is a patriarchy because this guy's over this woman are you ready to pizzaarchy it's a plastic i said everybody was dumb but there's one person who's in this story that you would want to get hit in the face with pepper spray, and it's Anderson Ramon Lewis. Listen to this. Witnesses, including the general manager of Pizza Hut. We guys. There's so many levels.
Starting point is 00:19:59 We are four levels deep. This is like the Sopranos. So far we have employee, supervisor, manager, general manager. It's a Tuesday night. Everybody's there. You got to kill someone to be made general manager. Oh, for sure. No one leaves this Pizza Hut.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Witnesses, including the general manager of the Pizza Hut, told police that Anderson Ramon Lewis, get ready to hate this guy, started threatening the woman's husband and talking about her brother who died two weeks prior. No! All over pepperoni on a pizza. Whoa. God. I want Anderson Ramon Lewis to get a full bottle of pepper spray in the face. In the mouth.
Starting point is 00:20:36 How do you even jump from pepperoni to a dead brother? I don't know. That's a massive leap. That is. Police? I don't even have a joke for this i know he's an asshole this is horrible he's a meat loving asshole police said the general when it's evenly distributed police said the general manager attempted to separate the two which means i hope that she
Starting point is 00:20:57 went after him oh yeah yeah business yeah yeah after him you struck a nerve there and told lewis he needed to leave. Lewis left. I could close my computer right here. And that's it. But came back and continued to provoke the victim. Now this is the part where I feel like the general manager is dumb too. We've had him
Starting point is 00:21:18 being dumb, right? And we've had witnesses who have to stop eating. They're a little dumb. I'm out. Honey, we're going to the park. And this is clearly the important part where I'm assuming this horrible person slash dumb person went and got the pepper spray. Anderson Ramone Lewis, you mean? Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:35 But like now imagine you're a family in the showroom. You're in the showroom. And you hear just screaming. You suddenly become the children of arguing parents and your head is down and you're eating your greasy pizza. All those people in the cleats, all those people in cleats are not sure.
Starting point is 00:21:55 They want to run out, but they're afraid that they're going to slip on the linoleum. On the linoleum or the brick tile. Probably a glossy brick. Glossy brick floor. So police say the general manager attempted to separate. That always makes me sad.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Like, you could have done it right there. But he attempted to separate the two and told Anderson Ramon Lewis he needed to leave. Again. Lewis left. You have those giant spatulas. You can just throw that right in the middle. When he returned, though, and continued to provoke the victim, that's when Lewis discharged the pepper spray at the victim
Starting point is 00:22:28 and in front of the general manager and other employees. Guys, not in front of the general manager. So he really should have heeded his own advice and gone home or gotten fired. Yes, that was him. And he did one of those. That is the bitter truth coming back to bite him in his three last name acts. Go home or get fired. That's right.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Go home or get fired. Wait, you know a serial killer has three first names. John Wayne Gacy. But you know what I mean? The three first name is like a serial killer. Three last names. Three last names. What is that?
Starting point is 00:23:01 A Pizza Hut employee. Yeah. A supervisor. Not a general manager. Not my manager. Not my manager. Supervisor. I take orders from that guy right there.
Starting point is 00:23:10 So he comes back in. They can't separate him. That's when he discharges the pepper spray, act the victim in front of the general manager and other employees. His next step is if you really want to get divorced, or divorced, arrested, he probably is divorced. This is a pro-level move.
Starting point is 00:23:23 He was probably going through that at the time. Oh, that's part of this yeah he just apropos of nothing what are you talking about she's the employee right here no she wants all the pepper the pepperoni put it on the left yes i deserve half uh she wants half of my pepperoni. You deserve half. I stood by her during nursing school. Okay. No. What? What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:23:50 Before he left the store again, he wrote his address on a paper napkin, slammed it down on the counter, and said if the victim wanted to fight, that's where she could find him. This is a step beyond... No one wants step outside it's let's step outside drive to another location that is more then have a fight yes let's have a give me ample time to cool off and then let's have another fight woman a person of a different gender who it's inappropriate for me
Starting point is 00:24:20 to fight yes he all but he deserves to get his ass kicked by her. He also threw trays of pizza and dough on the floor as he was leaving. I want to say, like, why? There's food there. Why is food not being thrown? You're missing a huge opportunity of wasting food. Seriously, food at all stages. The responding officer. The cop shows up.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Here. Here's how you put the pepperoni on it. Here. Here. Here. Here. Here. Hey, Mike.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Hey, Kyle. Kyle, what do you got here? Oh, Mike, we have been through it tonight. You know Anderson? Oh, ARL? Yeah. Oh, ARL. I was just hearing him with my...
Starting point is 00:24:55 Yeah, how's he do these? IRL. In real life? Yeah, yeah. I know IRL, IRL. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:25:03 He lost it. He blew off the handle. Did he go get pepper spray? Yes, he did get pepper spray. Did he write down his address on an app? Yes. Landed down on the counter. Knocked food on the floor?
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yes. Well, you know what? I'm going to go check it out, but can I get a meat lovers to go? Sure. The responding officer attempted to call Lewis shortly after shortly after the incident so he left his phone number on the on the piece of paper yeah i'm sure it's in the file yeah a male answered and said quote don't call me again from a blocked number because i'm not gonna answer and hung up he's hot arl is hot he's upset and i know those prank phone calls from those kids he's not taking anything he's got to come from a known number lawyer he didn't hire has been
Starting point is 00:25:56 calling him out of area yes here's the part remember i said the cops were done we're gonna get out on this as of wednesday police were still searching for lewis you said issued a warrant they have his address on a napkin he said he was gonna be there he said how big is sandy springs by the way maybe wait maybe maybe our three named wonder kid is so smart that he threw everyone off the fucking set. Gave them the wrong address. And said, wrong address, or said, this is where I'm going to be, and then split town. And it just threw the cops off.

Starting point is 00:32:59 him. Uh-oh. Here we go. Yep. Here we go. If a guy is stopped at a 7-Eleven. I'm going to option this right now. I'm telling you right now, I'm all in.
Starting point is 00:33:06 He is already making the movie of this. All right. The man went in the gas station and then came out minutes later looking a lot bigger than he did when he went in. He stole a bunch of shit. What was the shoplifting? Was it Animal House? Animal House, where he's got all the things under his thing.
Starting point is 00:33:25 What happened? Yes. There also was an old SNL sketch. Tom Hulse. Where, I think it is John Belushi, packs so much stuff into all of his clothes, he gets to a point where he can't even move. He's knocking over things in the aisle.
Starting point is 00:33:38 I just remember I saw it one time so long ago. It was hilarious. Hilarious. Can't be funnier than your recounting of it just now dan what's that your recounting of it was maybe perfect than the sketch oh thanks guys no worries i've been working on my storytelling you are good who owns the movie rights to that me telling stories yeah i don't know all right the man went into the gas station searchlight and then came out minutes later looking a lot bigger than when he went in so the cop sees oh
Starting point is 00:34:06 i hope they shared a nod coming in and going out he's working on another case but now he's got a new case according to sheriff grady judd his detective watched as a man quote he waddles like a duck out of the store i can do the voice because i heard it he waddles like a duck out of the store. I can do the voice because I heard it. He waddles like a duck out of the store. And our detective who's sitting in the car watching all this says to himself, self, I think I'll arrest this man. Oh, my God. So the cop watches him come out much bigger than when he went in, waddling like a duck.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Right. And then the cop says to himself, Self, I think I'll arrest this man, which to me is not due process. I'll just, let's be honest. I love that he had to check in with himself before he did something. Self, I think it's a salad day today.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I think I'm gonna, Self, you'll have the salad. And yeah, so I'll have the salad. What if he just keeps it? Self, should I turn my head to the left?, so I'll have the salad. What if he just keeps on arguing? Self, should I turn my head to the left? He's basically goleming himself. Right. That's how he deduces whether a crime has occurred. Self, let's get out of here.
Starting point is 00:35:14 But first, the detective asked the man to accompany him back into the gas station. The man obliged. Sure. Why not? Yeah. Okay. I'll go right back in with you. No problem.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Judd, Grady Judd, Sheriff Grady Judd, says the suspect was then told, quote, come on, let's unload your pants. That could have gone. That is a totally different movie. Than you're buying. Than I'm buying. Exactly. Dan, did you watch Hee Haw as a kid?
Starting point is 00:35:39 That'll make much more money, though. Yeah. You know Hee Haw. Saturday evenings. Did you watch Hee Haw as a kid? No. Hee Haw was like a country sketch. It was like laughing for rednecks. It was a variety Yeah. You know Hee Haw. Saturday evenings. Did you watch Hee Haw as a kid? No, not really. Hee Haw was like a country sketch. It was like laughing for redheads.
Starting point is 00:35:49 It was a variety show. Hail Bazaar. Hillbilly laughing. Yeah. Hey, laugh. Grady Judd sounds like a Roy Clark. Or a soupy sales character. Grady Judd.
Starting point is 00:35:59 As he said to me, unload your pants. Crowd goes wild. Or Grady Judd is like the emasculated brother of the Judd sisters. Yes. And he's just trying to find his way in the world. Like he went into law enforcement as like a way to do good. Yep. And then he got the camera on him for press conferences like this.
Starting point is 00:36:17 And he let it off. He said, self, let's unload your pants. Self, you are good enough. You are smart enough. What would Wynonna do? The next sentence in his article. And unload, he did. unload your pants i said you are good enough you are smart enough what would winona do the next sentence in this article and unload he did oh sheriff was this like country yoda sheriff grady judge says well you might have thought he had a load of poop in his pants this is what he said to news now it is becoming an episode of s. But what he had in his pants was oil and a whole lot of videos.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Yeah. You heard right. 38-year-old Jason Hall was asked by the Polk detective to unpack his pants, and he complied. He removed 30 gently used Lassie DVDs and multiple bottles of Pennzoil motor oil from his pants. So his thing is that his fetish
Starting point is 00:37:12 is I'm going to jerk off to dog videos with Pennzoil. I'm going to lube up with Pennzoil. That is a very expensive and very specific fetish. So I can understand why he doesn't want to pay for all this stuff. Cut corners where he needs to? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:25 I'm going to ask you guys right now. How many bottles of Pennzoil motor oil did he have in his pants? Well, no, he already had 30 Lassie DVDs in this. I mean, there's got to be a bottle per DVD, right? That's a lot. What's that, girl? What's that? What's that?
Starting point is 00:37:43 There's a guy in 7-Eleven who's filling up his pants with my videos? Good girl. Good girl. Good girl, Lassie. Good girl, Lassie. If I just get one bottle and one DVD, that's going to last me at least 30 days. Look, you want to go one for one. Yeah, just one for one.
Starting point is 00:37:56 So you say he has 30 bottles. Okay, Collin, you are the guest. So you get to go first or you can go last. What is your official guess on how many bottles of Pennzoil Motorola? Yeah, you can go last, too. Whatever you get to go first or you can go last what is your official guess for how many bottles if you want to go first yeah you can go last too whatever you want no i'll i'll i'll start it off i'll start it off i think we're gonna i'm gonna go five five bottles yeah that's five okay that seems like a like a leg length yes i think so oil on one side, DVDs on the other. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Randy Sklar. I think he had seven. Seven bottles of Pennzoil motor oil. Because don't forget, it might not be a can. The bottle is thinner. It is the bottle. It's the yellow bottle. It's the yellow bottle.
Starting point is 00:38:38 It's a little thinner, so I think he had seven. Okay. Jason Sklar. I mean, part of me wants this to be like a modern day, like the story of Hanukkah when one bottle of oil lasted eight nights. Or it could be like a Mary Poppins situation where that bag has no bottom. Right. There is no bottle.
Starting point is 00:38:56 There is. These are not the Pennzoil bottles you're looking for. I'm going to say 12. I'm going to go high because I think this is a sensational story. Okay. He had... Take a stare, baby. Total number. Pants tucked into his socks, right? They are tucked into his work boots.
Starting point is 00:39:14 That was very specific in this story. They are tucked into his work boots to keep everything in. He had 30 DVDs and the amount of Pennzoil motor oil bottles in his pants. 15. What?
Starting point is 00:39:27 Yes. I knew it. Jason's. I knew it was going to be an insane amount. 15 bottles. This speaks to how the people who work at this gas station don't give a shit. They are not looking at anything. This is him bending over, taking all the bottles out of his pants.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Oh, man. This will be on the Facebook page, Townies. Don't you worry. Oh, yeah. Look at him. He is wearing big old... Look at, there's bottles on the counter. There are bottles on the floor. And he's still pulling more out. He's dropping bottles, y'all. He's dropping bottles. Popping bottles.
Starting point is 00:39:59 I call that bottle service. Straight up bottle service. There's sweat dripping off these Lassie DVDs. Don't worry, you guys have a chance to redeem yourself. There's another trivia question just a little bit later in this story. Let's hear it. So 38-year-old William Jason Hall, Billy J.H. Billy J.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J.

Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J. Billy J, y'all. Billy J, y'all. Yo, you hear about Billy J, y'all? Did he go ahead and put pens on his pants? What did he do?
Starting point is 00:40:27 Well, he got caught doing his little doggy thing that he likes to do. He had about 30 DVDs on one side of his pants. He had about 15 bottles of pens oil on the other one. They were tucked into his work boot. But here's the bitch of it all. I knew I didn't like that guy. He was doing that duck walk that he always does. I know. He always does that duck walk.
Starting point is 00:40:47 It's his tail. He always walks like that. It's the way, because he's flat footed, he'd never go into the service. He always complained about them flat feet and bad knees. I'll tell you right now, from what I hear, that cop decided to arrest him based off his walk and that ain't probable cause. That's not probable cause. You can't arrest no man for how he walked.
Starting point is 00:41:03 But you want to know what? He's a self-assured cop because that guy, he's probably just sitting there going, self? Yeah. I said self. I got to arrest this guy. Hey. Hey, man. Sometimes you got to listen to yourself. Poor Billy J.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Billy J. Billy J. Hall. He told the detective he regularly travels between Lakeland and Tampa, so we're in Florida. Florida. Florida. Stealing stuff that he can quickly make a profit on. Did you guys know you can quickly make a profit on Lassie DVDs and Pennzoil Motor Oil? Apparently.
Starting point is 00:41:30 There's a huge aftermarket. It's called the original eBay, the off-ramp of most freeways. For sure. Freeway. Well, everybody knows that that particular 7-Eleven, they had they took all of the DVD the Lassie DVDs and what a lot of people don't know
Starting point is 00:41:49 is that the Circle K and the Come and Go were very upset that they were on the losing end of the Lassie battles the Lassie Wars it's what took the
Starting point is 00:41:56 flying J out of it and Billy Hall is trying to make an extra buck he's just trying to spread that Lassie Pennzoil wealth to the Come and Go
Starting point is 00:42:03 and the Circle K Tower Video no longer an entity no that Lassie Pennzoil wealth to the come and go in the Circle K. Tower Video, no longer an entity. No. No. Never sold Pennzoil. Never sold Pennzoil either. Maybe that's what ultimately took them down. No.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Now you tell me. If they could have gotten into Pennzoil when they went into Japan, they could have saved the whole goddamn thing. I love that he just started telling, literally, the cops, like, you want to go back inside? Sure. You want to take everything out of those pants? got it you do this a lot yep i travel between lakeland and tampa i steal a lot of stuff like he's just he's giving it away more than just his pants he starts talking about how his fault when his dad left we're getting everything let's
Starting point is 00:42:36 unpack it all yeah these are definitely cargos how long do you think billy hall billy j hall like thought like right when the guy's like hey why don't you come on back into the gas like first off what did the cop say
Starting point is 00:42:50 to actually get him back I'm sure he said self tell him to get him back in here but how long do you think he had to wait
Starting point is 00:42:59 to say like I can make a run for it I can do it well so many times like yeah what do you think was instantaneously like son let's go back into the gas station it's just instantly just like oh shit yeah okay i think so it was just right away all right right away you got hey you got the b
Starting point is 00:43:13 he didn't try you got me bjh listen so many people resist arrest and it is terrible you are only compounding the issues sure this guy knows maybe if i play ball, he will be more lenient on me. And I guarantee you they were probably cooler with him because he cooperated. Oh, for sure. For sure. Well, Hall is- Cover-up is always worse than the crush. Hall is a self-confessed career criminal.
Starting point is 00:43:36 So to him- Self-confessed, Dan. Self-confessed career- Y'all, I'm going to tell you right now, and he's been- I'm going to take this out. I got one more down in here. I am a career criminal. You want to sit on the ground or on the table?
Starting point is 00:43:48 You guys tell Billy J where you want to push it. This is my career. Should I put them back? I'll restock them. No feet. See, what I do is these are cargo pants, but I also sew in an extra pocket on the inside of the pants, and that's normally how I get all the other stuff out of these stores. Oh, yeah.

Okay, this is brilliant. brilliant yes these kids are all in college this is thinking and thought on another level yeah what kind of party we just get a keg no no no it's gonna be a father figure party yes we we need they need one guy is like a house dad is that what george michael is dead i was gonna say he rest in peace rest in peace khq talked to the man behind the ad who says he's looking for a dad in the area because his and his roommates dads aren't around i i should have filled out this a long time ago no this is long for all of our listeners dane anderson and the boys are looking
Starting point is 00:50:17 are ready for summer and to eat from the grill but want a little extra help quote we just thought it would be a little better because we really don't have our fathers with us said dane their ad reads while most of us know how to operate a grill none of us are prepared to fill the role of barbecue dad wow this party will take place june 17th so it happened already in case those are big tongs to fill what does the barbecue dad do exactly here's what the duties include. This is from... The dad. Can't wait. Grilling hamburgers and hot dogs
Starting point is 00:50:49 whilst drinking beer, of course. Bringing your own grill. Subject to change, but meat will be provided by the party planner. So they also don't have a grill. They don't have a grill. They need a grill. They need a grill
Starting point is 00:51:00 and they need someone to cook for them. This might be the smartest... I don't know if this belongs in Dumb People Town. I think this might be like smart... It's just a fun dumb. It's a fun dumb. It's a fun dumb. This could be the smartest people ever in Dumb People Town.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I agree with that. I mean, just the idea of being like, guys, we need a dad. Or we need a grill. We need a grill. Really, what they're just saying is we just need someone to cook for us and like to pick up our shit while we need a grill we need a really what they're just saying is we just need someone to like for us cook for us and like to pick up our shit while we try and like you okay you guys i i this is not dark this is meant in the best way you guys had a great dad colin you i've never met as much people know people people think he's great yes yeah yeah he knows the real story yeah
Starting point is 00:51:44 um people but like he's the mayor Yes. He knows the real story. He's the mayor of Dumb People Town. Most people don't know. We'll take it. We'll take it. But the importance of having a dad around to handle the stuff, and these guys just wanted that. That's all they want. Right?
Starting point is 00:51:56 But here's the thing. If they're going to get a real dad, we are both dads, how is that dad going to leave his regular family to be part of this? So you're going to get a drifter. All right. That's what you're going to get. Someone who doesn't have contact with us. His internet lives at the library.
Starting point is 00:52:13 That's right. A guy who showers when he can. Checks his email at public places. Right. You get a guy who's like washed his feet at the movie theater once or twice. Just got a Yahoo account. I don't have a grill, but I have all of these Lassie DVDs and some Pennzoil.
Starting point is 00:52:29 In case you guys need an oil change. I have a career. And some entertainment. I am a career man. Listen to this. They also said that he must refer the dad figure, barbecue dad, they would like it if he referred to all attendees as big guy, chief guy chief sport or champ
Starting point is 00:52:46 that's fantastic this is true this is true i once left i had a dentist and i once like stopped going to the dentist because he always called me tiger really he would call me tiger and i just i can't deal with that is your dentist earl woods no this is a lead open up there tiger and he i was just like i can't it's like one of my come on tiger yeah get in the hole they also they also request that barbecue dad talks about dad things like lawnmowers building your own deck jimmy buffett etc They've got a whole image. Who are these kids? Who are these kids
Starting point is 00:53:27 who are just going to college in Spokane, Washington? So they're college students away from home. Yes, they didn't go home for the summer. They have dads. They have dads.
Starting point is 00:53:35 They don't want the dads to come. Their dads are too far away. They want an older guy. This is just an advertisement to be a father figure. Looking for barbecue dad. And the journalist said, yeah, I'll write about that. Imagine the Craigslist guy that skims the and the journalist said yeah I'll
Starting point is 00:53:45 write about that imagine the Craigslist guy that skims this without reading the details I'll be a barbecue daddy you need a barbecue
Starting point is 00:53:51 day BBQD there are two great things to get on Craigslist handjobs and dads you can find
Starting point is 00:53:59 them both when you get a handjob from your dad that is a totally different thing Craigslist explodes on itself they also say the perfect candidate will meet the following qualifications okay a minimum 18 years
Starting point is 00:54:13 experience as a father wow so they want people who have yeah we can't qualify them yeah you guys they want someone in their they want someone in their late 50s. I get it. Yeah. A minimum of 10 years grilling experience. That is easy. Yeah. I had that when I was 12. Yeah. Right. An appreciation of cold beer on a hot summer day.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Yeah. I don't know how you've narrowed it. Harder to test that. Harder to test that. Hard to test. Hard to test. It can be done. It can be done.
Starting point is 00:54:42 He likes it. So no one in AA. No one in AA. No one will be appreciated. Can't be in the program. Can't be 12 steps. It can be done. So no one in AA. No one in AA. No one will be appreciated. Can't be in the program. Can't be 12 steps. Can't be in the program. I would say you got to have like that first sip has got to be like a big one, let out
Starting point is 00:54:55 with a hearty. I think that's the test. Well, no, that could be an AA. They could appreciate it. They just might not be able to drink. Sure. That's another quote. But they're not dumb. They just have a. They just might not be able to drink it. Sure. That's another quote. But they're not dumb.
Starting point is 00:55:06 They just have a problem. Oh, there's an asterisk. I mean, bonus points if your name is Bill, Randy, or Dave. Oh, Randy, you were so close. Couple years. Couple more years, Randy. Nice, mister. I'm ready.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Getting close. Dan Anderson says they've already been getting some dads emailing them. His name is Jerry, but he said we can call him dave or bill does not want to be called randy for the record i get it important distinction it's like i'm not an asshole there was one guy named stan who sent us a message ever since eminem a guy named stan sending messages creeps me out we couldn't help message, but he stopped replying. We couldn't help but try to see if dads would be
Starting point is 00:55:46 cool doing this. So KHQ's Andrea Olson went out on a walk around with Dane's ad from Craigslist to look for interested dads and they included
Starting point is 00:55:54 a photo. This is the picture that they included. It's kind of perfect. I know for a fact there's more important shit going on in Spokane.
Starting point is 00:56:01 There's a ton of madness. For this reporter to be taking out uh craigslist ad saying uh care to respond these are the hard-hitting stories can you meet these i'm gonna show you guys the picture that they included of what they're in their mind they wanted for barbecue dad and you're gonna see it and be like i want that bar i can't let's see it look at this uh i want that barbecue dad. I want that barbecue dad.
Starting point is 00:56:25 That guy's perfect. He's wearing, I want to say, Columbia shorts. Yep. Yep. A long sleeve Ron John t-shirt. A Patagonia flip flop. Yeah, for sure. It could be a Mr. Zog sex wax t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:56:44 I want that shirt he's wearing to be one of those shirts that dads wear and say, good Oh, for sure. It could be a Mr. Zog sex wax t-shirt. I want that shirt he's wearing to be one of those shirts that dads wear and say, like, good life. And it's just like those stick figures with smiling faces. I mean, he's got the thinnest- Like a hypercolor shirt. Hypercolor. The thinnest shoulders I've ever seen in my entire life. He kind of looks like if John Densmore from The Doors wasn't like a hippie musician.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Yeah, exactly. It was just a guy who lived in the suburbs. Or if Dennis Farina was still alive but squished in between two really fat people. That works. That's right. He really kind of looks more like, I think maybe the requirements really push this more into a barbecue granddad era. I know, but he kind of skirts the line.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Yeah, yeah. He's like 58 for sure. They want somebody in that. I don't know what this site is, but they told them that the photo they included, they found in a Google search from a site called thelittlehoneybee.com. What? Does anyone know what that is? I think this dad is looking.
Starting point is 00:57:38 I think he signed up to find a bunch of little honeybees to look at while he grills up some stranger's meat. Yep. Yeah, I don't know. That's the thing. You've got to be careful. Oh, I looked it up. Honeybee is like a health and nutritional thing that for some reason has dad's grill and food.
Starting point is 00:57:53 I trust him. Fine. This is what we're looking at. This is the general atmosphere. This is the area we'd like to operate. We want to be in this area here. With 40 people coming to his backyard party, Dane Anderson says he might step his game up and try to get three dads.
Starting point is 00:58:07 There's no way in hell Dan has got 40 people coming to his party. Everybody knows Dan's an asshole. The first untruth in this article, yeah. Dan doesn't have the social graces to have 40 people. 40 friends? And where? They can't find a grill? They can't find a guy to do the grill?
Starting point is 00:58:22 They're doing a barbecue at a parking lot? My two dads. My three dads. He wants three. He wants my three dads. Here's the most Craigslist thing about this whole story. But for now, Dane's just looking for a good time. Yep, that's where you go to Craigslist.
Starting point is 00:58:38 We're looking for a dad to come and crack a cold one with the boys, he said. He said they won't be able to pay their barbecue dad in cash, but they'll be providing him with all the food and cold beer that his heart desires. A drifter. A drifter. These guys went for a theme party and they got... If you're on Craigslist... Oh, go ahead. Sorry. They went for a theme party and they got someone who lives under an overpass.
Starting point is 00:58:58 But this... You get what you pay for. And if you're on Craigslist offering free food and alcohol, look who shows up. Look who's gonna come. I like this. Do you think they had to come up with a rider for the dad? Like, here's the thing. You will have one freshly cracked cold brew right there ready for you. We will provide all of the 12 pieces of corn.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Tongues galore. Tongues galore that will be freshly cleaned. And then he'll say, ah, ah, ah, you forgot something. They'll be like What did we forget What did we forget You say Fresh lettuce Ah
Starting point is 00:59:30 Fresh lettuce Very important Deal breaker Threaded not leaf Yes Read the writer Read the writer Read the writer
Starting point is 00:59:36 I'm walking away I'm walking away He's ready to walk guys If we can't have And he's just walking away Going review the tapes Part of me hopes that Somehow this finds its way to Bill Murray. Bill Murray would show up.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Bill Murray would show up. If someone had brought this to his attention, maybe that's why Spokane journalists are doing this. They're like secretly hoping. Bill Murray shows up. Because if you ask him directly, he'll never do it. Chars the shit out of every burger. No one can complain
Starting point is 01:00:05 because they got bill murray there to a burnt crisp and you're like well you got bill murray everyone goes to tell him and he just goes listen i love that you bring up bill murray because he is a huge movie star and we are smack dab in the middle of the summer right now enjoying the summer block but by the way everything's a blockbuster there is no summer there's no small movie that ever comes out ever again everything is a blockbuster remember that small studio movie they made about relationships nope no
