I was in Trader Joe's when they were like,

So Dan, the world is just a dumb place and it continues to get dumber.

Eaten yogurt.
Eaten yogurt.
Leads to arrest in Austintown.
Oh my God. Not Austin, Texas.
No, no, no. You think they're trying to keep Austintown
normal?
We're not them. Are we talking about
a town in Austin or no? Austintown.
Austintown is the name of it.
Ooh, that's a great question. Yeah, where is
Austintown? Ohio. So they are
trying to keep it normal. Hey man, keep Austintown

the one in maine has shirts that says were were the town Stephen King meant. Right.
Do you know that story?
Rob Reiner didn't find out until like into production.
Do you know this, Dan?
Mm-mm.
Rob Reiner thought he meant Portland, Oregon.
And in the novella, The Body First Stand By Me. And it wasn't until they were into production that he found out it was Maine.
And he was like, well, it's too late now.
Too late.
I don't care.
This is where we're doing this.
We're going to be in Oregon.
Okay.
Austin Town, Ohio. W gonna be in Oregon okay uh Austintown Ohio WKBN
thank you a Youngstown man
so he traveled yeah
was booked into the Mahoning
County Jail after police say he
went inside a stranger's
home and appeared to have helped himself
to food and clothes
that it could be
confusion wait have you ever had a break-in or a burglarization
of your car i have not we have of our car of our car when we were in college we shared a car and
oh i had it in my driveway here sets change the presets change the presets and all npr which was
so weird like why are we doing every interview uh no deep are you? No, but it felt, they didn't take anything. Sure.
Shit was like rustled around and I felt super violated.
Oh, of course.
I have not had a break-in, but just in case, I always write my name on my yogurt.
It's very smart.
You treat your own.
They do break in.
They don't take my yogurt.
You treat your own house like an office fridge.
Yeah.
Or like camp.
Or like a thief comes in and opens up Dan's thing and is like, I'm just going to take,
oh, sorry.
I would love that. That's my wife's yogurt. They'm just going to. Oh, sorry. I would love that.
That's my wife's yogurt.
They're not going to.
Clearly labeled.
And that's my wife's fault.
It would be great if not if somebody broke in.
But if they opened your fridge and were like, shit, their names on it.
Dan's like, well, I told my wife, you got to label it.
Yeah, I told you.
On Sunday, Austintown police officers responded to a call from a homeowner.
I don't know why I keep doing that.
Stating that an unknown man was inside his house.
According to the police report.
Wait, he's in the house when they called?
Yes.
Oh, my God.
That's terrifying.
Well, I hope it's very.
For some reason, I hope it's non-threatening.
Like, there's a TikTok that just went viral where this guy stormed into a nail salon.
Yes.
All these Asian people.
Tried to rob them and no could and no one reacted they all just were like someone slowly got up and walked
out walked away and he kept going give me all the money and no one responded and he you could see
him lose his steam right very quickly like well i'm leaving then and he leaves guys last chance
look if you want to get robbed today i'm not giving you another
chance walks out and comes back and is like i just need a pedicure i feel like we got off on
the wrong foot literally maybe i'm not good at entrances and they treat it like an audition
why don't you go out go out do it for you i have the 11 15 you were trying to do that for us do it
for you this time yeah let him do it hey you
know what throw some of that away yeah um but i'm hoping it was that non-threatening that the guy
was like i'm looking at him stop put that down no use the small spoon that's not gonna fit right
um okay where was i so he was inside his house according to the police report the homeowner left his home shortly before 5 p.m to go out and eat when he returned home around 7 30 kind of a long dinner he noticed
that his refrigerator and cupboard doors were open after he closed the doors he noticed an
unknown man standing in the back bedroom okay that's terrifying now to me the close this is
like classic horror movie.
You'd close the fridge.
Remember that scene in The Sixth Sense?
When she walks out of the kitchen?
It's great filmmaking. No spoiler alerts.
I have not seen it yet.
There's no twist.
You're getting this.
What you think is happening.
What you think is happening.
Yes.
Don't overthink it.
My Dinner with Andre with Bruce Willisuce willis yes bacon i just watched that
movie how high were you who's who in this year it was just me amy's in my wife's in the other room
she's like doing something i'm like i'm gonna watch my dinner with andre and i sat and watched
the entire thing really yes and i'm like this is phenomenal like he's gonna keep talking and the
more that the guy andre is talking the I'm like, what he's talking about
sounds like he went to Burning Man.
I'm like, I know Burning Man didn't exist in 1980.
But I'm like, he's talking.
Oh, I'm sure it did.
I'm sure there's four people that still talk about how they were there.
We did it on a beach.
We were in that desert in 81 before anyone else.
But he's like, we were dancing.
And then we were doing all these hand movements.
And then we started crying.
And then she held me.
I'm like, that's fucking burning, man.
Have you guys, have you seen My Dinner with Andre?
No, I have not.
Does it hold up?
Yeah, right?
It kind of does.
Because it was so simple.
Is it good?
Like, should I watch?
I don't even think.
Two people having dinner.
I'd rather go to dinner.
But you have to be in the mode.
It's brilliant.
You have to be in the mindset of like, I'm going to sit and watch.
It's definitely not like an episode of The Bear.
you have to be in the mindset of like i'm gonna sit and watch it's definitely not like an episode of the bear so i would i would recommend watching mike blyden's bob odenkirk directed
melvin goes to dinner yeah that which is that's maybe you're being serious i am have you seen
that i've never heard so blyden so matt price our buddy matt price mike blyden stephanie courtney
stephanie courtney and Annabelle Gurwitch.
Those four people are kind of four stranger or friends, like acquaintances who meet at
like a dinner kind of at this restaurant.
And they shot, it was a play first called Fyro Giants.
And then they shot 69 pages in one night, five cameras.
They ran through it twice.
Wow.
And then they shot a bunch of
offshoots, flashbacks, and
flash-arounds.
This is just their dinner.
Anyway.
I'm sorry. Continue. Worth watching.
Sorry for what? Sorry, I didn't mean to take us that far.
I know, I know.
Sorry, Dan.
He goes on. When he returned home around 7.30,
long dinner, he noticed that his refrigerator cover
doors were open six cents.
According to the police report, Alexander Solomon, his name was...
Alexander Solomon.
And there's a lot of things he has done.
Most of them illegal.
This is the guy who broke in as Alexander Solomon?
Yes.
Is that his name?
His name is Alexander Solomon.
And there's a lot of yogurt he hasn't tried.
Right. Just you wait. Just you wait.
Just you wait.
God damn. But his dad
went to get cigarettes quick.
I never understood that, Dan.
We talk about this
in this upcoming show.
The guy who goes out to get
cigarettes and doesn't come back,
what are you going to... You got one pair of underwear?
One.
You're just going to leave all your clothes, all your records.
Or they're leaving out the part where like, so my dad's like carrying all this luggage
out to the car.
It's weird.
He's got two duffel bags.
He's just going for cigarettes.
Why is he packing the car?
We're not going on vacation.
Okay.
When he returned home at 730, the homeowner, Alexander Solomon, was standing in the room wearing a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey and underwear.
Are we sure it wasn't Delonte West?
Yeah.
He stated to the homeowner that he was there with the cleaning service.
That's his story.
That's a great.
Okay.
Did he come up with that on the spot or was he holding it?
I think it's a pretty good on the spot.
It's not a good like in advance, thinking of advance. No, but for improv. It's a that on the spot or was he holding? I think it's a pretty good on the spot.
It's not a good,
like an advance thinking of advancing.
No,
but for improv,
great on the spot as an improv.
That's amazing.
So can I just say this? Cause I'm going to link these two things.
This is one of my most,
my pet peeves with my wife is when I'm doing the dishes.
Cause she cooks,
she's an amazing cook.
It's much better that she's cooking and I'm not cooking.
Okay.
And I'm like, I'll clean it up.
I don't want you to touch the thing.
I'll clean it up.
But as I'm doing like dishes and pots and pans, there's always like a lot of stuff.
There's always like six more pots than we really need.
And I'm doing it, I'm scrubbing and everything.
And then like, as I'm doing it, she'll bring out stuff from the fridge that needs to be
thrown away or be cleaned out.
And I'm like, oh, we're doing this now?
I didn't realize in the middle of me doing that,
we're doing this now.
It's like terrible.
Like I hate cleaning out the fridge
because number one, I always like to eat the food we buy.
I never like to throw any things away.
And number two, just more work on top of the work.
It's like, as long as you're working,
let's make it so you can't watch my dinner
with Andre tonight. Let's just add all this stuff dishes with this guy
came into my house and said i was just cleaning out your fridge for you i'd be like thanks yeah
also he's like i don't have a cleaning service the guy and then the guy he just keeps with the
improv well you need one yes this is how we get your clients he stated the home was there with
a cleaning service uh that's what he told him the home. He was there with a cleaning service.
That's what he told him.
The homeowner stated that he has lived at that location alone for two years.
It's okay, buddy.
That's a weird detail.
He tells the reporter.
Is it a flex? Is it like, I can't afford my own place?
Yeah, right?
Because there's two endings to that sentence, Dan.
One ending is, I've been living here for two years, so if you know anybody.
Or, I've been living here alone for two years because I'm a big boy.
By myself.
One is pride, and the other is like, I do everything by myself.
Or it's like, he swallows it a little bit.
It's like, and I've been living alone.
Right.
So if you know her, the door's unlocked.
If you see her.
Tell me, have you seen her?
You just start singing the song.
If you see her, tell her I'm sorry.
And I guess I got a cleaning service.
So that takes care of some of the issues she had.
She used to, while I was doing the dishes, help me clean up.
Tell her I'm fine.
He's lived in the location alone for two years and does not know Solomon.
Guys, the sentence itself is crazy.
He felt like he needed to tell the reporter, I've lived here and he doesn't live here.
No shit.
I don't know him.
I've been here two years.
That guy's never lived here before today.
What Dan said is he's now involved in an improv he didn't want to be in yeah right
it's like at some point he's like how long are we gonna do this when officers arrived the owner
said that solomon was still in the bedroom it's messy he's clean he was given commands by police
to come outside which he did still cleaning still cleaning yeah but i also seem to call it what he
comes out yeah i'm in the middle of it.
Officers walked through the house and reported finding a pair of shoes by the bedroom that the homeowner said were not his.
So he took his shoes off.
A TV and dresser were moved and an empty container of yogurt on top of the dresser that the homeowner said had been in the refrigerator before he left the house.
So this is the least invasive, the smallest burglary footprint that's ever been left on a house.
Yes.
One yogurt moved a couple pieces of furniture, shoes off.
According to the report, the homeowner noticed that vehicle titles that he had spread out on the bed were now put together inside a box underneath the bed.
So this dude did clean, didn't he?
He was like, there's papers on this bed. I mean dude did clean, didn't he?
He was like, there's papers on this bed. I mean, come on.
Let's get your titles in order.
Like a real burglar would find
the box where you keep all your important
documents and take them out.
I better put these back
so someone doesn't find them.
As he's being arrested,
your stuff's under the bed. I cleaned it up.
I organized it by car by make by
car making year are you ready for the sentence of this story that they made it makes it a dumb
people town let's hear it which so often is the case when it when the perceived victim you start
to realize is a very active member of this story i can't wait. I can't wait. Here it is. The victim told officer that his grandfather's sword
was now standing in the room's corner
and sheathed, placed in the bathroom.
If you've got your grandfather's sword,
which I don't even know,
we're so far away from the last time anyone needed a sword.
Was your grandfather a samurai?
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
He just...
Probably Civil War reenactor? Probably. I mean Nope. Nope. He just. Probably Civil War reenactor.
Probably.
I mean, did they use swords in the real Civil War?
Because if the.
Isn't that like the.
If the homeowner is old, like, well, I don't know how old you have to be.
That's good.
We will get to age.
Civil War.
Yeah.
Okay.
But he could.
Like my grandfather's sword.
Don't you think the cop a little bit was like your sword?
You have a sword in the house.
Right.
Yeah.
You can't just have a sword
so the owner is saying my sword which used to be in the corner is now in the bathroom no the sheath
is in the bathroom the sword is standing up in the corner jay i mean look sorry i feel like we're
solving an escape room the homeowner told officers there was also ice cream in the microwave that had
been in the freezer when he'd left his home. Look, sometimes... 10 seconds.
By the way, it's not a bad idea.
I do that with butter.
Is that weird?
You do?
Seven seconds with butter and it makes all the difference in the world.
Like in a dish or the whole deal?
I put the butter from the thing in the microwave.
Seven seconds.
It spreads like butter.
It's like butter.
No, you don't.
It spreads like margarine.
In the bedroom, there were three... Well, that expression means something totally No, you don't. It spreads like margarine. In the bedroom, there were three.
Well, that expression means something totally different to you.
Yes.
Yes.
Butter spreads differently.
Yes.
It just hits different.
It hits different.
Jay walks around being like, that was like cutting through seven second butter.
Yeah.
That's like cutting through microwave butter.
Jay at a restaurant.
Excuse me.
Was this in the microwave for
Three seconds
It's really hard to get through
I'm not some fucking clown
In the bedroom there were three hats and two shirts
That did not belong to the homeowner
At the top of the stairs lay a pair of unfamiliar jeans
Unfamiliar jeans
Maybe my favorite emo band
Unfamiliar jeans
They opened for dashboard confession and i don't know enough
about taylor swift and i and i'll admit that to the world i'm going to see her on august 5th
on my b-day if you told me that her new album was called unfamiliar jeans i would oh yeah a hundred
percent believe you to me unfamiliar jeans could be like a an ancestry.com Spill Yeah I mean for me
Like three shirts at the top of the
Three shirts that you don't
Recognize
That's a Jim Croce song
I was gonna say that
Or a Third Eye Blind song
Yeah for sure
Or Gordon Lightfoot
Three shirts at the top of the stairs
The homeowner also noted That Solomon was wearing his shorts Or Gordon Lightfoot. That would work too. Three sheds at the top of the stairs.
The homeowner also noted that Solomon was wearing his shorts after officers arrived and he came out of the house.
Well, he's not going to walk out.
So he wore the victim's shirt.
The owner's shirt.
Donald Southerly style.
That's right.
As the officers and the homeowner completed the report, the homeowner noticed a blue push
cart in the woods behind his garage that was not his.
This feels like a Stranger Things episode.
Like all this stuff is happening.
It's a riddle.
Inside the cart were two backpacks, a jean jacket, and other personal belongings.
Within the backpacks and the jackets, officers found the following.
Are we taking the SAT?
I'm sorry.
You're going to have to repeat to me every piece of evidence that I've listed in this.
I'm getting nervous. Here's what they found in the backpacks.
Four syringes, probably not for great use.
Two ID cards not belonging to Solomon.
Two debit cards, one
not belonging to Solomon. So one does belong to Solomon.
That's mine?
One plastic bag containing a white crystal
powder substance.
This sounds like that scene from Trading
Places. One bag. PCP, angel angel dust you know what this stuff does to kids this is unbelievable this
is also what ben affleck started out with to figure out his identity in the movie yeah
with a white powder tested positive for meth believe it or not officers arrested solomon
without incident and transported him to the mahoney county jail on the charge of burglary
the homeowner told officers that he
had not locked his doors prior
to leaving the house. Okay, you
gotta lock your doors. I don't want to victim blame,
but I don't either, but who in this day
if you live in Meth Alley,
you gotta lock your doors.
The Lord takes a cart, he unlocks the door.
That's right. I'm going to ask you guys
this. How old
is Alexander Solomon?
The guy who, the burglar.
Yeah.
The guy who just wanted to be in the room where it happened.
He was in the room where it happened.
The house where it happened.
How old?
You want to go first?
Or you can go second or third.
Is it like Price is Right rules?
No.
It's just closest to the pin.
Closest to the pin.
We don't care.
Yeah.
50.
50.
50. That's great. Okay. 50. 50. 50.
That's great.
Okay.
I like that.
By the way, that used to sound old.
Now that's younger.
That's old.
I'm going to say this a lot.
I know I'm sidetracking.
We're young.
You are not your dad's 50.
No.
You are not your dad's 50.
That's right.
We are not our dad's 50.
Yeah.
Every generation is not that.
When you think about those.
True.
All those guys.
I'm going to say say 67 his name was
i think he's 41 41 yeah okay i mean i kind of want to know how old the guys who he went
whose grandfather's sword is sitting up i want to know more about a lot more
two years alone with his grandpa's sword. Is this the new Odd Couple?
Two years alone with his grandpa's sword.
That's a Jim Croce song.
Yes.
Alexander Solomon will get out of here on this. Two years alone with my grandpa's sword.
It is.
I'm home again.
30 years old.
Wow.
I know.
I was right.
Look at him.
Oh, my God.
I like the look.
You know, shaved head beard.
You got it.
I appreciate it. Yes. He does look a little like Brody. I my god. I like the look. You know, shaved head beard. You got it. I appreciate it. Yes!
He does look a little like Brody.
I took it. Yes! I
got your jersey. Yes!
Unfamiliar jeans.
Top of the stairs. I'll go
upstairs. I'll arrange a title.
It's also like
you match like
burglary styles to comedy styles.
That's kind of like the Brody Stevens style of Brody.
Yeah.
All over the place.
All over the place.
All of the place.
Little things.
Because like Brody, he probably walked in and was like, don't like this energy.
Not good.
No.
Going to change it.
And like Brody Stevens, some people totally get what he did in that post.
And other people are like, I don't understand.
Him and Brody, both fans of a good drum circle.
That's right.
Straight up drums.
That's story number one.
Story number one, down in the books.
When we come back, we'll find out stuff that how you can follow Dan Mintz and what you can see him on more stuff and all that great stuff on the end.
What we have going on on the other side of the break.
It's Dumb People Town with our great guest, Dan Mintz.
We'll be right back.
Hey, guys, welcome back to the show.
Before we get into the stuff that how you can follow and enjoy Dan Mintz,
let's just tell you a little bit about what we have going on.
And again, we're kind of backlogged.
So we're just with.
We don't know when this is dropping.
Exactly.
But in case.
We should have a better idea of that stuff, by the way.
I don't know.
People listen whenever they listen.
Sure.
So we might be telling you what you missed out on.
That's right.
So if this thing drops, I have a feeling this will probably be.
This is my favorite part.
If this thing.
It doesn't matter whether it does or not.
Tell me what you're doing, Randy.
So on Monday, July 24th, Jay and I are doing a stage show.
I cannot wait to watch it.
I'm so excited.
You're invited to come if you want to.
We wrote a 90-page script that we shaved down to 80 pages.
It's our stand-up.
It's the story of us getting switched when we were six weeks old.
And we make the case for parenting,
why people should choose to be parents by spending an hour and a half
telling you how shitty it is to have kids.
It's a weird flex from the perspective of two dads.
Two white, straight male dads.
We're not just two white guys.
We're the same white guy. It's two one-man
shows. Yeah, it's a two-man one-man show.
Happening simultaneously. So it is
we love this. We're really proud of it
and we sort of fashioned it
in the style of other people's stuff that we really

Dan did one that we did.
So the tagging show, just for you know, and we'll do another one in August as well, is our friends go on stage.
They do their sets.
Jay and I are off to the side.
We're writing tags and we come on stage afterwards and pitch you our tags.
I was picturing like in between.
No, you do the whole set.
And then we come up. We're like, I love this.
You know what's so great about it?
It's better.
For the audience point of view, it's great because it's guaranteed laughs.
But also from the comic point of view, you cannot have a bad set.
No.
Because even if your set, God forbid, didn't really land.
Go the way you want it.
Your ending, the Brian Cox adaptation adaptation while I'm in the end.
The ending is going to be you two and them guaranteed making laughs.
Totally.
But when you leave the stage, you are going to be like, that was fucking fun.
That was great.
Yes.
Either I walked away with tags or whatever.
So look at supersclars.com, all of our stuff there for that.
We're in Ann Arbor.
We're in Ann Arbor.
We're in Ann Arbor in September, September 8th and I will fight we'll tell you all about that stuff as it

meet back here a year later you totally should. I should. I will probably steal that.
Take it.
And treat it like New Year's.
And then.
Five.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Four.
That would be hilarious if some comic did every show the late show.
If they ran that long like it was New Year's.
You should do that.
Just for like.
It's almost midnight.
At that moment, you think everybody's going to make a wish.
And you bring out like a bunch of people from Bennigan's's and they wish happy birthday to one person in the audience if i could
pull it off if i could get to that burt level of shenanigans or just the staff of shenanigans so
uh that's 11 11 it i don't think tickets are on sale yet but you should check whenever this

but I'm doing a festival in Minneapolis.
Oh, is it the Great Lakes?

And obviously Adam,
Kate and Holland are those guys.
Those guys too.
So if you end up next day and you want to do more,
is there a Dan mince.com that people can check?
There's a dammage.com.
I don't know what's on that at this point.
Of course.
So social.
This is,
I just have Instagram, but this is dan mints um
we should mention we're up on threads all right oh yeah i guess yeah we're up on threads threads
i don't have brother at squad brothers all right shall i jump into the story let's do a second
story sent in by jacob benoit at atmos fan atmos atmos fan like atmosphere but atmos okay i'm a fan of the atmospheres this is a major
cautionary tale this is what i my commentary on this to any young person and i'm going to use
this story to educate my kids moving forward okay it's short but it's crazy okay and i'm sure we'll
have a lot to say about it you have to just be so careful what you do in general what you say publicly on social media if you're up on threads like us you know especially if it has something
to do with your employment okay do not understand don't make comments about your employment the
smallest thing can get you in trouble in the biggest of ways in this next story i'm guessing
like somebody who works at a taco bell said like
we have the worst food in the world which they thought like who cares about me and my social
media and then the headline is taco bell employee calls out company for horrible and all of a sudden
you have way more relevance i love that this is a great game right because that's right what do
you think it is uh i think it's uh someone who
mentions that their boss is having an affair with somebody else oh oh it leaks that it doesn't think
anybody doesn't think anyone's gonna know who these people are yeah they said something like
when your boss has sex with your co-worker so you get stuck with the like you have to work yeah you
have to work on it so you have to damn what do. So you have to work on it. Dan, do you have any thoughts as to what this could be?
Probably like Del Taco or someone.
Del Taco.
Okay.
Dan and I, we're linked on this.
I thought of that before he said that.
Okay, I do.
And I saw you thinking of that.
So I'm going to read the headline, which will dispel all of it.
Woman loses NASA internship after Twitter fight with a member of Space Council.
Oh, snap.
That's completely justified to me.
This is a whole new Star Wars.
Yeah, this is it.
All right.
A woman's...
This is from WCMH.
A woman's excitement over an internship
may have gotten the better of her.
You dummy.
A woman identified only as Naomi H.,
which is my favorite Fountains of wayne song
sure using a right not stacy h but there's a definitely a something there's an anna ing
who's a preparation is uh okay a woman identified only as no naomi h using harsh language shared on
twitter that nasa had accepted her for an internship.
Former NASA engineer.
Yeah,
bitch.
I'm going to space.
You're in the right area.
Former NASA engineer and October sky author.
Former.
NASA engineer and October sky author,
Homer Hickam.
Hold on really quick.
Sorry,
but October sky is the Jake Gyllenhaal movie, right?
Yes.
And Vanilla Sky is the Tom Cruise movie.
I love Vanilla Sky.
And Vanilla Fudge is the character you played on.
Flip's White Fudge.
You would have gotten there.
Probably Vanilla, right?
Yeah.
If it is White Fudge.
Well, it is a White Fudge.
Oh, that is a thing.
So it is Fudge. Well, it is a white fudge. Oh, that is a thing. So it is fudge.
Well, there actually are.
Oh, yeah.
White fudge is like.
The flips white fudge.
Like, that's.
I don't know who named the character.
Dan, you have to come up with your own flips white fudge.
Like fudge cookie.
Dude, I wrote a script.
And John keeps telling me to stop sending it.
All right.
So former NASA engineer and October Sky author Homer Hickam replied to her tweet saying language.
That's what they say.
Wow.
Okay.
That is some condescending shit.
That's some old guy on a lawn.
So do you want to hear language?
I would write back.
Naomi.
Correct.
I would write back.
Correct.
Yeah.
I did use.
I feel like she should not have. did she write what did she write you
guys want to hear what she wrote yes i want to know what he said language it's so innocuous it's
so great this is the exchange naomi h's actual tweet was everyone shut the fuck up i got accepted
for a nasa internship that's not bad can i also say to she's excited mr october sky not mr october yeah homer
hickam yes you want someone to be this excited and you want someone to be spreading this excitement
about this type of work and can i just say in a literal sense i would love it if everyone shut
the fuck up right just sure period Having nothing to do with their internship.
Especially on Twitter.
Especially on Twitter.
Right?
Could have just stopped it.
The word up.
Just leave that.
Yeah.
She was excited.
Shout it out.
I think this person gets, I think the person gets dinged if it's a man or a woman.
Cause you just don't, you know what I mean?
Like I, I don't know.
No, you're right.
You are.
You are right.
I think the person gets dinged no matter what the gender.
I feel like it feels a little bit more charged of like an old white dude telling a young woman to watch her language.
But yes, he could have said that to anybody.
I love that she came in so hot.
I'm so, like you said, I think this shows an intensity.
I hope she comes back hot.
Like everyone was talking.
To me, it presupposes that a lot of people were talking shit about her and she needed to end it right there.
You're not getting this internship. What your rule even on instagram do you respond to
comments uh i i'm very not good at social media and i kind of had dragged into having to do it
so i can promote comedy shows but like i i should respond i should respond less than i should because
i don't even respond to good comments. I just like, I can't.
Yeah.
Even when people do good comments,
he's like,
everybody shut up.
A social media like person told me,
cause I was like,
I don't want to wait into comment.
I very rarely,
sometimes if I think what I'm writing is so funny in response,
whether they'll get it or not,
I'll respond.
But they said,
uh,
just like them all.
Because even that says something to the algorithm that you are an interactive account.
So then they promote it.
So then they promote it to, well, that's a flex, too.
That is such a crazy flex.
Because then they promote it to more users because they want users to get that endorphin of feeling like, oh, the person I interacted with saw my thing.
And so if I, and sometimes I don't even take the time, but I will go through and at least if i see the notification or in real time you love this though you really love
interacting with people and we do too i do to me i enjoy it lacks so much context on the internet
which is why i hear from so this woman by the way didn't she said i got accepted for a nasa
internship all caps nasa she hashtag nasa this is after shut the fuck up yeah she didn't she
everyone shut the fuck up all caps i got a internship the whole thing is cap i got the intern no i got the internship at
all caps nasa gotcha i think how you spell that is correct on the internet yeah right but i'm
just saying like no hashtag nasa no at nasa so at homer oh so this guy almost has a word alert
yeah this bitch sorry okay then homer hickam saw it and simply said language.
That's it.
About him.
One response subtweet.
Language.
About him.
Language.
Just a hey.
Language.
Slow down, Sparky.
While dropping the F-bomb.
Who made you the NASA language police?
With that response.
She writes back.
He writes language.
She writes back.
No, NASA.
She writes back, he writes the language, she writes back, no, NASA.
So right now I'm with the girl, Naomi H.
You're going to have a hard time getting me off of her, actually.
Oh, really?
I'm going to get you off her right now. Hey, don't clip that.
I'm going to get you off her right now.
Well, that response got an even crazier response from Naomi H.
Back to Homer Hickam, who said, Naomi replied, suck my dick and balls. I'm going to get you off her right now. Well, that response got an even crazier response from Naomi H. Back to Homer Hickam, who said, Naomi replied, suck my dick and balls.
I'm working.
I don't care if we do it for ourselves.
That should be a T-shirt.
Suck my dick and balls.
I'm working for NASA.
She needs to start making that shirt.
Oh, my God.
I'd buy that shirt.
One small step for man, bitch.
One giant step for man bitch one giant step to me i think it's as comedians i think it's funny when a woman says fuck my dick and balls yes i agree it does give
it a little more but anybody who wrote back to this dude he writes language thinking i've said
it all and she was like no i'll say it all so his response back there is amazing too this is all he
said like i'm replied and i'm on the national space council that oversees nasa that's it so
that so now she's sweating all the color sweat down the back have you ever flop sweat on stage
and like had that moment so she's having this moment she's flop sweating because you can't delete it it's out in the middle of a bit that an audience is what happened which
takes me a little bit off for her she didn't look at who wrote you gotta when you go back at someone
and again you're kind of like in the grand scheme of things as i still love her response sure but i
don't think she would have made it had she knew she was talking to an angry old dude.
So again, again.
Who could decide.
This is all of argument about her enthusiasm.
And what I would say to Homer Hickam is this person is so excited about being here.
You don't want to temper the excitement.
Do it the wrong way.
But at the same time, you're right.
If she had looked, she probably wouldn't have done it.
Hickam is one of more than of more than yeah how do you know i mean i feel if it were if
it were me it's like the the opportunity like knowing for sure you lose your ownership like
not none of those interns are going to be astronauts like right this is like sure so
funny to to tweet that back i agree that the comedy comedy does almost supersede. I feel like she should have fully
knowing who it was.
You want her to have known who it was.
That would be... Oh, I know,
bitch. I know you are.
Wait, to me, though,
having just listened to the
Dead Eyes podcast, which I love. Have you heard that
whole podcast? Most of it, yeah.
Connor, right? Connor Ratt.
I love it. Unbelievable. To me, this is like her dead eyes moment like she stepped deep into this thing she i hope she gets
fired because then she may turn this into something beautiful right it's the best story of like
learning from a mistake on her next job interview be like i got embroiled in a twitter thing that i
will never do again i learned my arches do you want to be the person who goes, so what happened with that?
We fired her.
We fired someone who made a maybe mistake that was very funny
and really, really, really wanted to work here.
So I think it's.
Oh, good?
Yeah, but I think it's NASA's like, look, we are a very.
Buttoned up outfit.
Exactly.
We can't allow people to like go this isn't spacex
yeah and everyone's like banging each other in their cubicles exactly allegedly
so here comes one of more than two dozen people named to the newly created national space
council users advisory group newly created so maybe she didn't know okay language indeed word
word eventually came out uh that that Naomi had lost her internship.
The response from Twitter users was mixed.
Sure.
Of course.
Like us.
We're mixed.
I'll give you some of the responses, okay?
This is a normal practice.
I don't feel bad for someone who told their boss publicly that she should be more careful.
Her boss is kind of a false opponent.
Not her boss.
Not her boss.
And unknowingly.
Misnomer.
Welcome to the internet where your life is public and recorded and you have no personal life.
If you want a professional job, you act professionally.
And that's at Vorkitect.
Hickam later wrote about the incident on his blog saying he had nothing to do with her getting fired.
I don't know about that.
He said, I'm a Vietnam vet and I'm not at all offended by the F word.
However, when I saw NASA and the word used together,
it occurred to me that this young person might get in trouble if NASA saw it.
So I tweeted at her one word language.
Which didn't provide any of the context that you just gave.
So here's how I would have handled it if I were her.
Like he could have written by like, congrats.
Just so you know.
Be careful.
They get weird about that.
Follow her.
See if she'll follow you back in a direct message.
Say, hey, I just want you to know that I.
The white shirts might not.
I've done some work at NASA.
Just for your own thing, I want to make sure you don't get in trouble because it's a great opportunity.
Like, that's what she said.
I mean, that's what he's claiming, you know.
I bet he's not. Because he Like, that's what she said. I mean, that's what he's claiming, you know. I wrote one condescending term hoping that that would come across to her.
And I called two people at NASA and said, fire the bitch.
Am I a bad person?
I didn't specifically do the fire.
I said, you guys do what you want.
You should fire her.
But you guys do what you want.
Fire her.
Whatever you want.
If I show up and I see her in these halls, I'm going to light the place on fire.
But you do what you need to do.
I'm just a hidden figure.
That's right.
Ah, damn.
Very good.
Soon her friends took umbrage and said a lot of unkind things.
But long after I was gone is I immediately deleted my comments and blocked all concerns.
So her friends started coming for Homer Hickam, which doesn't help.
No, you're like, I don't.
Guys, please don't.
You're making it worse.
Third friend of yours who's drunker than everybody else at the bar now wants to get in a fight with someone's girlfriend. You're like, stop.
It's also a rule.
I tend to say there's there's no mean thing you're going to say that's going to make them rehire me.
So now Homer Hickam.
Later, I learned she had lost her offer for an internship with nasa
this had nothing to do with nor could i since i do not hire and fire the agency or have uh at
the agency or have any say on employment whatsoever every mafia boss's defense right
i didn't i didn't i'm not i didn't shoot anybody i'm not telling anybody to do anything i had
nothing to do with it i made one eye movement that. That was it. I looked up. I looked up at the light
for two seconds. Am I a bad person?
As it turned out, it was due to the NASA
hashtag her friends used
that called the agency's attention
to it. So like, had her friends
not come in there and
hashtag NASA. That's their story.
So Naomi's friends got her in trouble. They started
hashtagging NASA. You just don't do that.
Don't hashtag NASA.
Naomi eventually reached out to Homer Hickam and apologized to Hickam after the conversation.
Hickam had kind words to say about Naomi.
He also said he would help her find a better position.
So see, this is coming, right?
She reached out to me with an unnecessary apology, which I heartily accepted and returned with my own. After talking to her, I'm certain she deserves a position in the aerospace industry,
and I'm doing all that I can to secure her one that will be better than the one she lost.
It's also intent.
This is cool.
She did not write those tweets.
No.
Two, even her response.
Don't blame the girl for her offense.
That was very jokey.
She wasn't writing her first thing to offend anybody.
Right.
She was writing her thing to exclaim how excited she was let's
look at it she wasn't like let's see what the stuffed shirts down at nasa she's also an intern
she's not running the fucking like bearings give her the lead no one's gonna be like hey let's see
what the intern thinks about this next uh shuttle launch right this isn't blackberry
i kind of feel like if it's if you're gonna say that like she it's it's her fault for
just not that she should have known the consequences yeah like it's his fault he should have known the
consequence that he might get her fired even if it wasn't his you're you're on you're a more seasoned
further down the line person you could easily follow follow her. If you really were concerned,
he should have followed her.
That's what I said.
He should have followed her and DM'd her.
No, Dan's so right.
If he's really concerned, right?
Or like, fuck, I didn't mean for that to happen.
He should have said, hey guys,
you cannot fire her now.
Right.
Because it's on me.
I have also talked to the folks
that had to do with her internship
and made absolutely certain
there will be no black mark on her record.
So he's, I mean, that's a little after the fact but he is he did reach out to them
if you anyone listening or the three of you ever see a follow-up to what happens with her and her
career path i'm invested in again but this is a wonderful cautionary tale that didn't happen to
my kids and if my kids ever get something that is good don't tweet out shut the
fuck up i got a job yeah that's for threads right that's for threads we're up on thread all right
that is uh that i'm gonna i love that little story that second story i'm gonna pass this to jay jay
can you give us a little teaser a little taste of what we could be seeing crossing camera frame
jay's gonna sit down he's gonna give us a little taste of what we're going to see. This is in the
story number three, in a rough
and tumble world of fast food.
Not everyone's cut out for it.
There you go. All right. Well, Dan Mintz is our
guest. I'm so excited. It's Dumb People Town.
One more story. Jay's going to bring us home. We'll be right
back.
Stick around. Make us down.
There's more Dumb People Town.
Hey, we want to thank our sponsor, Bird Dogs.
We do.
They are amazing shorts that actually fit because the material stretches around you.
They feel good.
They look like nice khaki shorts, but then they function like your best pair of gym shorts.
Get that mobility.
I love it.
There's a slimmer fit through the thigh.
I don't need to tell you.
Say goodbye to all your other shorts.
This will revolutionize your short drawer, as it were.
You don't want to restrict your other shorts this will revolutionize your short drawer as it were as it were you don't want to restrict your movement and they fix that issue by inventing cloud knit fabric that looks just like khaki they use an anti-stink sweat wicking fabric that keeps you
cool and dry so i put these on first of all you can get them like a little longer if you like a
nine they're a nine inch seam yep i go with the six one. I got the legs to back it up. Damn straight,
Daniel.
And sometimes when shorts are a little high,
they kind of restrict your movement even more.
Right.
You know,
there's that weird place between too long and I'm wearing like,
these are stretches.
I'm a 2002 NBA player.
And then you're in a sublime cover,
man.
But if you get too high,
I can go the other way.
Bird dogs are perfect,
man.
I get that six inch seam.
Yep.
And you know what?
I like the colors.
Yes.
They're like a,
this one I have is like a,
I almost said metal that it makes it weirder,
but it's like a bluish.
Yeah.
A bluish here.
I'm going to make up a color.
It's bluish dope.
Periwinkle.
No,
periwinkle is not made up.
I don't know.
But so I wore them playing golf.
Look,
global warming is here to stay.
It's only getting hotter. I wore them playing golf and I, global warming's here to stay. It's only getting hotter.
I wore them playing golf, and I normally sweat a lot playing golf.
I did not sweat as much, and I'm going to say this.
You feel nestled when you put them on.
I played better at golf.
Now, I don't know if I can attribute that to the Bird Dog shorts.
Yeah, you four-putting?
I was down to three putts.
Three putts.
So the Bird Dog, look, they're amazing.
I love them.
They don't stand by that golf claim, but we do.
I'm going to. I'm going to.
I'm going to get some.

Okay, here's the headline.
Woman quits office job to work at McDonald's.
That could have been its own.
Maybe that's its own story.
Breaks down in tears after one shift.
I believe it.
You think it's easy?
You think that, I mean, you understand how easy, not how easy, but how cushy an office
job is.
I went to the McDonald's with my nephews.
The McDonald's.
Well, it's Rochelle, so it's the McDonald's.
I love that you said I went to the McDonald's, like there was only one.
No, it's the one in Rochelle.
Yeah.
Right.
There is technically two, but one's up by the interstate.
That's not really.
That's not ours.
We don't claim that.
The McDonald's next to country school, which I'm more of a fan of. I by the interstate. That's not ours. We don't claim that. The McDonald's next to country school,
which I'm more of a fan of.
I know the McDonald's.
We go to McDonald's on the 4th of July
at 11 o'clock at night with my nephews.
You already know if you have kids.
I am not telling their parents that I'm doing this.
Also, I'm going to assume the place is packed.
You are 100% packed.
Loaded because we drove by an in and out.
My son wanted a burger after we saw fireworks and we're driving.
Everybody goes there.
Everyone goes.
They've like either like been drinking or they pick,

Right.
So I step out so that they don't know.
They still think we're doing like renegade fun.
And I call and,
uh,
I'm talking to her and I go,
Hey,
so here's the deal i'm taking your
kids to go watch this movie at my mom's place we're gonna stay up late we're starting it late
and i may sneakily get them late night mcdonald's and to her credit she goes it's summer do you and
i go right exactly i go she's like what i don't care i'm like you more lax on summertime with your kids
uh i i don't even know think about what season it is i don't know
la it's kind of always feels like summer yeah no school the no schoolness of it all i mean i'm
pretty lax about like mcdonald's because i i feel like it's all um i mean obviously there's
healthier food but yes there's lots of food you give them
that is just as bad that you don't think about because it's from a local whatever and it doesn't
have the cultural that's whole foods makes chicken nuggets too i'm just saying it's all we're saying
anyway we went they wanted the grimmest meal and all that whole shebang shake yeah and uh
and the nuggets by the way you guys came up because my nephews each got like a six piece or whatever.
And I go, you know, I have friends who could each eat 50 of those.
And they were like, I bet I could too.
And I'm like, you cannot.
You cannot.
And these two, 50 pieces.
I could eat two 20 piecers.
Today.
Right now.
And not even bat an eye.
Yeah.
What's your number on nuggets?
I don't have a number.
I don't have to number i don't mind
like that it's like you and i'm good i'm like okay i had not one of my numbers
now if we're talking what's your number on nuggets 9-1-1 right so anyway i'm sorry to do this big
deal it was slammed and the people working there were like over the edge like the scene where like
the sub the submarine realizes that the German
sub is close and everything goes into full and you're doing nine things at once.
That's what was happening.
So you tell me this woman broke down.
I fucking believe it.
I believe it.
Okay.
So it's not very often that corporate workers just, oh, this by the way, was sent in by
Matthew Freeman and not your average Matt.
Thanks.
It's not very often that corporate workers decide to switch up their careers by moving
into the fast food industry, but that's what tiktoker i already lazy mariah so now i feel like
she broke down like for the for the tiktoker put out the video or the about well she got fed up
with working from home oh she's the person okay yes so in a viral video the former office employee
showed herself getting dressed in
her McDonald's attire for the first time
while going over all the reasons for
her sudden career change.
While the woman was definitely
loving it at first.
How much do you hate this? I hate it.
Things quickly turn south.
You put that in.
Now you're trying to
blame it on the artist.
Jay's angling for that McDonald's sponsorship.
50 nuggets and he's loving it.
Dude, I mean, seriously, that's Brian Cox.
I know.
He made succession bump, whatever.
He's successful.
Things quickly turned south when she realized just how stressful working at McDonald's actually was, causing her to break down and start crying.
You think the crying was real? No. I know man it's for tiktok if they were slammed and somebody said i want fries with no salt which then they have to like redo a
whole bin of them it's like cleaning i it's like i've been in bars bartending back in the day when
we were so slammed and someone broke glass on near the ice well oh my god so you burn
it and you don't have a choice you have to worst kill all that ice everything and then you have to
clean the whole thing out and it doesn't matter how many people are waiting for drinks oh my god
yeah so you know i get it i mean one time i ate broken glass by accident on purpose because i didn't
realize there were yes then it was fine nothing happened i think you got it down to do i didn't
know how big were the pieces i noticed they're pretty tiny shards it was like when were you in
prison i thought it too i think a glass broke in the dishwasher and got on the bowl yeah
yeah and you didn't have any cuts i mean i guess people do i
felt mentally upset about it but sure he was emotionally yeah yeah coming out according to
lazio working from home was making her lazier oh lazy that's not in there no i made that i did that
one all right dan's got me dialed in on this beginning to affect me i want to hear the other
10 that got that you cut i know no i'm not doing that he's like he's like no no i didn't cut anything yeah they're all in
here i need to be out of the house to be motivated so i got a job out of the house just to get me out
this is her quote i need to be out of the house so i got a job out of the house just to get me out
uh that's not so you want to be more motivated.
It's like when you write a tweet
and realize you use the same word twice.
Well, that's the point.
If I were talking to her,
I'd be like,
so you want to work from home?
She said I,
and she explained,
I find I get more done
when I have things to do.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Stop.
I'm so sick of you.
I'm going to cry.
These are the people
at like first day at camp
who go,
ah,
I like to have a good time or people shit people at like first day at camp who go ah i like to have
a good time or people no shit i like to laugh people who like to be constantly this is like
a woman who constantly uses the phrase you do you i hate you do you i am what i am you do you hey
you do you yeah if you are what you are then you do you can i ask you a question nobody has to be
on the spot you don't have to answer it i'm only i'm positing it because i obviously have one is there a profession not in this that you ever daydream about having that is so different
from what we do like i have had daydreams about running and owning a landscaping business
where i just show up to a lawn i think because i used to work on farms you know and we would get
there and the field would be full and at the end of the day it would be empty and then the next day
we'd take all that stuff to an empty barn and at the end of the day
the barn would be full it felt so gratifying and i watched tiktoks of people like cleaning a sidewalk
and like trimming a yard and bushes and i satisfying i know and i look at people's stuff
i'm like if i had the tool i would just go to this apartment complex just fix these clean it up
landscaping i think is a get outside of my house get outside
of comedy there's a beginning and a middle and an end to it it just feels so gratifying i just
don't i think anything anything that is fun to do on your own becomes terrible when it's a job
like i just like if you're like editing your own videos it's like this is really cool like
but like then would then if you ever see like an ad,
like a professional editor,
like working on deadlines and having like 12 people give them different
notes.
Yeah.
You're right.
They're not having you while you're doing it.
Yeah.
Cause your daydream is always the best case scenario.
And in your daydream,
it wasn't a day you didn't want to do it when you picture yourself.
Like also like you don't have the owner of the apartment complex being
like,
why'd you cut the shrubs like that?
You're right.
That's way too short.
Way too short.
I didn't ask you to do that.
I didn't see too much of the side of the building.
Now I have to wait three weeks.
I'm not paying you.
So she wants to get out, so she got out and she got out.
So far, she hasn't revealed whether or not
she's actually decided to go back to work
at the Golden Arches.
But it just goes to show that working
in the fast food industry can be very daunting.
No.
That's the end of the article.
That's it.
That's it.
That's all they say.
You talk to Taco Bell employees after midnight.
Dude, when we came in high school.
We used to come in high school.
We would eat 10 tacos a piece.
See these two?
10 tacos.
We have an eating problem.
I think you have a solution.
That's what I'm discovering.
Yes.
That's what we've revealed to Dan. Yes. We have a solution that's what i'm discovering yes we've revealed today yes
we have a problem so uh the moral of this story is don't do something for the sake of tiktok it
might break that's it it literally might break you think about what you're doing for the sake
also i would argue in the opposite direction it's good to cry every once in a while agree it's good
to have i said that to my daughter my daughter was crying about like I hurt my shoulder in a basketball game.
And I came home and I was like, I think my shoulders messed up for life.
Of course, I take the most life, though. I literally I'm like, it might be separated.
And my daughter started crying on my behalf. And my wife was like, wait, you didn't cry this much when i told you i had breast cancer
and i was like yeah she didn't understand that like it makes sense and i'm like wait a second
this i'm like let her cry it feels so good it feels good you cried ever like i've cried recently
watching something some movie or something i cry every episode i cried watching something and i was
like this feels so fucking good and And I've cried for other reasons.
So maybe this felt great for her.
If it's real.
Sure.
But it's TikTok, so I don't think it's real.
I doubt it's real.
Fake tears.
I just feel bad for the supervisor and the other employees that are now like.
Dealing with a crying person?
Well, also just like we have to wait and find out if someone's coming in tomorrow.
Or our day is completely fucked.
She gave a shorthanded.
They're reading like, oh, she's getting a lot of comments saying go back, guys.
So she might be here.
She might be here.
Let's plan on her being here.
And then we have to deal with her crying while we're trying to deal with the rush of all these people coming in for the Grammy show.
There you go.
That's a great little story.
That's a show.
