to love about how you guys do that podcast the people who love it love it beyond belief if you
if you're not on it get on it they explore dumb throughout history
we're exploring dumb than the recent history right now and so you are perfectly engineered for this
i think the last time you did this podcast dan had all the stories we switch it up now and i know i
love it when you guys switch it up uh you and sometimes you do a lot in the live shows yeah
you switch it up a little bit there you have done in the past i love it they're called reverse the
reverse he doesn't the reverse so fun yeah so uh we we have that right now where each of us have a story here
dan's got the first one let's jump into it right away and we can tell people how to send him by
carlene mcdermott at she'd be carlene i love her um all she had to do was hashtag dumb people town
at daniel vankirk at sclar brothers on what i will always call twitter and can i say as we've
been searching as we search for stories and where there's such a backlog by the way thank you for everybody
a beautiful dumb backlog like we're i'm looking at stories in may of this year right now it's like
there's months of dumb stories that's weird on the docket seems to be getting smarter yeah i know it
is really i know one would think that it would all sort of go away. It's just like how the earth's getting cooler right now,
just a couple of degrees.
And flatter.
So what I'm saying is there are moments,
and I don't want people to think that we're just skipping over stories
that you get, but there's so much that goes into picking a story
that's perfect for you.
Picking a story for the first segment, the second segment,
the third segment.
I don't want to pull too much behind the curtain.
But I'm just saying, we
appreciate everybody who sends this stuff in. And so
the ones that make it in fit the thing that
we're doing, Daniel Go. So you guys, what I'm hearing
is you guys just grab one and read it.
That's right. We just
I don't even pay attention. I wish.
We probably could. We honestly
probably could. I bet we could.
I spent a lot
of time being like does this fit the first segment i don't know maybe i'm spending um i i often say
all you'll need is a headline yeah which is why i didn't do this plug but when i go out now i ask
townies just bring a headline and i come out first at the show and say does anybody have a dumb
headline and we just joke around a bit for it great so but this one you really want the headline and the first line of the story let's do both that is let's do both
it's almost like when you decide we're going to share everything at this thai restaurant you're
going two entrees for your set for the table you like what that person ordered over there
beck and ham firefighters help with marriage proposal gone wrong so wait for the second
sentence okay let's hear the second sentence amanda and her partner owen were enjoying a
boozy night in whilst watching the opening fights of a live ufc screening great on july 31st
fantastic but usually not the preamble to engagement right uh getting drunk at home
what state i know so i so he put her in a rear naked choke and said, honey, this guy's got a life.
When he choked him out, I want to choke you out for life.
Yeah, I'm going to be tapping for life, baby.
This is in England.
Wait, what are you about to say?
I was just, I just like, that might be the worst environment to propose in.
I know.
No, they're at home.
I know, but they're watching getting drunk
fight like and not even like me not even that top tier card they're watching the opening fight
like at that point it's just straight up like i don't know if people remember this but in the 80s
whenever there was a dystopian future movie there was always cage fights and now we're just like
yeah cage fights i was in a nice mad max i was in a nice little restaurant
in brentwood california very nice area and they had left the tv on and it was ufc no it wasn't
even ufc it was some other type of fighting right and okay that's sport right it is gone it's it's
very much but my point is it was such a a violent fight that you were like eating flatbread while a guy's face was just ripped open.
And there was some part of me that was like, I've loved the sport since the early 2000s.
I've done Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Chicago with one of the Gracie gyms.
But I still was like, I think you might not want this on the TV right now.
Not this fight.
No, it's not like,
oh, these are good raviolis.
Hey, that guy's leg's split in half.
Look at it flopping around.
The ravioli's red inside,
so is the leg.
You don't want to see Mirko Krokop
just shatter somebody's shin
while eating tilapia.
No, especially because I don't know what you just said. Mirko Krokop just shatters somebody's shin while eating tilapia. No, it's especially because I don't know what you just said.
Mirko Krokop, yeah.
He's probably one of the greatest stare-downs of all time.
How is the crab Krokop tonight?
Is it good?
I have never watched the UFC.
I used to be a big boxing guy, and then I kind of transitioned out of it
because, one, it got really boring.
There's so much cheating.
It's coming back.
What's happening?
Making the fights. But also, at some point, point i was just like it's a little brutal like it is
and then you ufc came along and i'm just like i watched too many 80s dystopian movies i can't do
it i think boxing is a is a great sport however it's so interesting to me that the nfl yeah is promoting like we catch and stop all concussions
yeah and boxing is still like how good are you at pretending you aren't concussed that's what we need
and and your level of pretending it will keep this fight going and we will give you a lot of time to
pretend that you're good yeah the object of my sport is to make the oxygen stop going to your brain so that you go down.
Because UFC's actually gotten so good at it that I've seen fights stopped.
Oh, yeah.
That the person was out for literally that long, and they're like, it's over.
You got knocked out.
Or they're just seeing a guy not fighting back, and they're like, yeah, it's over.
Well, yeah, if you can't intelligently defend yourself.
But I've seen knockouts that only the ref saw, and the person had no idea they got knocked out. And even the person they were fighting was like, yeah. Well, yeah, if you can't intelligently defend yourself. But I've seen knockouts that only the ref saw,
and the person had no idea they got knocked out.
And even the person they were fighting was like,
yeah, no, he was out.
And as soon as that happens, if they see the light flicker,
it's done.
You guys all realize you're watching basically a sport
from Clint Eastwood monkey movies, right?
Yes.
And I love it.
And I'm saying, I'll take it any which way I can.
I just don't like monkeys in movies.
I want them left alone.
That's great. All all right thank you okay
so amanda and her partner owen uh we're enjoying a boozy night in whilst watching the boozy night
by the way is the key yeah boozy night means it's irresponsible two different types of whiskey
yeah let's open that let's open this let's open that yeah we've had this for a long it doesn't
tonight feel special and then didn't get the theme.
It's dusty. That's probably how it worked.
It's saved backwards.
They celebrated like, well, I feel like we opened this.
We should get married.
Let's get to the worm at the bottom of that whiskey bottle.
Kiss it.
Kiss the worm.
Also, don't remember, this marriage proposal goes wrong.
Yes.
But actually, in this, there might be one.
After enjoying a few alcoholic beverages, Amanda says she drunkenly proposed to Owen.
Great.
I like this.
And he took her down.
He submitted to her proposal.
Sweep the leg.
No mercy.
Michael Buffer comes in.
She put on an old ring of hers on the fourth finger,
but quickly realized it was too small and wasn't coming off.
The fourth finger? Alcohol-boiled, too.
They're counting the thumb.
They are counting the thumb?
Okay.
That's not a finger.
That's a thumb.
I agree with you.
Dave, can you tell?
I've been around a lot of monkeys.
No, Dave.
Please do our favorite joke.
We've said this joke.
We've quoted your joke to so many people and given you credit for this joke.
About the guy with the ring playing basketball, over the fence oh my god i haven't
done that in so long oh it was basketball yeah it was like rec league it was a it was a running
across a field and then he jumped tries to jump the fence gets his ring caught on the fence and
tore his finger off i don't remember the punchline.
I'll tell you.
And the moral of that story is don't get married.
Great Dave Anthony joke.
Are you kidding me?
I love that we had to come in and do this.
Yeah.
You got it.
Why do we know your material better than you?
Bring it up.
Dust it off.
Dust that off.
That was like 15 years ago.
He used his ring to fillet his own finger.
It's a great joke.
So anytime i hear any
sort of a ring story about a ring that's like too tight on a finger anything i immediately go to
dave's job i get so cagey about a tight ring oh yeah it's it's claustrophobic it is like even at
me at festivals festivals like hey here's your band don't lose this i'm like well i am taking
this off every night yeah so i'll just come right back here to the artist lounge so when we were in st louis
although this is high plains i lost it by accident we said dan you got to go to the top of the arch
dan is like i don't know no no they kept telling me do you want to do go in the elevator at the
arch and i said sure i'll go in the elevator what's that is a misnomer that's not an elevator
it's a small egg with five chairs that you sit down.
Ass to ankles.
I'm talking.
Wait, are you hanging underneath?
No, you're in the leg.
You go up the leg.
You go up the leg.
Dude, you're in a circular pod.
All the way to the top.
And then you can get out.
And you get out and there's windows up at the top.
And you get up the top and you go, this is nothing.
What am I looking at?
There's nothing.
You're not outside. You're inside the neck of the top and there's windows on both
side and it's like a little beautiful view it's really cool it's super cool but those
elevators are small dan's not an elevator it's a pod it's a pod with no like panel
dan gets in the elevator and immediately gets out and is like, I know my limitations. This is too much.
I know my limits.
I know my limits.
I know my limits.
I went and watched a screening of how the arch got made.
There you go.
Even that.
Even that was hilarious.
A kid fell over the seats and got his arm stuck in between the two and then couldn't
get his arm back out.
And I thought that could have been me.
Yeah.
And this is the funniest shit I'm going to see all day.
Is this little Pakistani kid.
Did they have to cut it off?
They had to come out and disassemble the chair.
The movie never stops.
Because they just roll them throughout the day.
They don't care.
And the moral of that story is don't have kids.
That's Dave Anthony joke.
I kill.
She put the ring on.
Realized it was too small.
And was not coming off.
Oh, gosh.
Soap would start sweating.
What are you putting on?
Amanda told the news shopper.
I guess that is the.
Well, you're probably not thinking this, but I'll wait until I sober up and I'm less puffy.
Yeah, that's true, too.
She's alcohol bloated.
Yeah.
She told the news outlet, Owen is from Auckland in New Zealand, and the guy fighting was from there, so we decided to watch the fight in support.
Great.
And I'm sure the fighter was like, thank God Owen from Auckland is watching this.
That's right.
Yeah.
I have no idea what possessed me to propose, but I did, and with a ring way too small for me.
I have no idea what possessed me to propose.
I have a question about proposal.
Yeah.
Do you put a ring on and then go, hey, will you marry me?
Or do you do it as you're kneeling down?
Also, did she put it on herself?
She put it on herself.
She didn't put it on him.
She says, will you marry me?
He says, I suppose.
And then she goes, great, I'm putting this ring on.
They're drunk.
They're drunk.
They're drunk.'re drunk they're drunk
do you want to marry me because i have the ring right it's literally like
i'm getting pizza do you want pizza we got pizza's coming no no pizza this is what it is
pizza's coming do you want to get i just called the burger place that's what it is the wrong ring
burger place it's all that's what it is it's the wrong ring you called the wrong thing or this is pizza you want mediterranean yes and then you show you what's mediterranean pizza
it doesn't matter burgers coming your face is in shape like french fries you ordered two falafels
that was it for your drunken night it wasn't enough too small no idea what possessed me to
propose which is like yes you do
you're in a relationship and you're
drunk as soon as I put it on my
finger it was cutting off my circulation
my finger started to turn blue and I
started so hold on
as soon as I jammed it on
like you had to get it I
can get it I can get it yeah we're getting married I
can get it yeah you put that has to go over a knuckle
somebody's like I try this on
and if it gets to the knuckle
and it fights me at all
no no
I've put it have you put it on
I put a ring on and it was
I got it over the knuckle and immediately
I realized I made a mistake and I was like
oh my god how am I going to do this and I had to like
have water running and I got it off and i was like i couldn't have spent another
10 minutes with it on because i would have just because i'm slowly becoming a pinky ring guy
like in the right scenario and it's a weird thing to say out loud sure i just loved my uncle bob's
pinky ring i would just look at. Coke nail and his pinky ring.
You think Bob Van Kirk has ever
even seen coke? No.
No. By the way,
I did that with a cock ring. Did you?
Once you get it over the knuckle.
You're not
even circumcised. I mean, that's amazing.
That is a wow.
She proposed. As soon as I put my finger
it cut off circulation i started to panic
it turned blue amanda says her and owen attempted to remove the ring by placing the finger in an
ice bath and rubbing oil and butter around the finger but none of the methods worked oh my god
so again so they went online with each right so they do have internet access get on web md which
one of us has minutes amanda and ed we do we did not know what
to do i thought i may have to go to the hospital and have it removed but i knew that a and e that's
ambulance and emergency yeah probably or or or the cable channel biography murder uh wait times were
incredibly long and we had a drink so we had no way to get there responsible i like this we can't
drive we cannot drive you can't drive right and then i was like you can't then get the circle saw
imagine calling an ambulance for a ring hey what happened then owen reminded me that his dad was a
volunteer fireman that's how drunk they are you know what what my dad does? What, fiance?
Fireman. Part-time fireman.
Oh my God, you're right.
You know what my dad does?
No.
He pretends he's a fireman on weekends.
Like the supporting cast of the movie Roxanne.
If the fire is on a Tuesday,
I will not be there.
Schedule these emergencies. You know how a firefighter works like 11 days a month well he only works four
i cover a long line of fire some small towns it is all all volunteer they have to be it's the 1800s
i could and i'm fighting the urge to tell so many fire department fun facts okay she he says my dad
um has an axe and a fire axe well you know because i'm just mucking it up right as a fireman
and he was and he is and he was always advised to call the fire brigade for most things as they're
usually quicker than police or an ambulance that is 100 true my wife's
stepfather was the fire commissioner on santa bella island in florida right and those guys
were who you wanted to call if you had any sort of a mishap you want my cousin kenny everywhere
they will be there so fast emt yeah they're like they know what they're doing they have all the
equipment and they're not roided out like cops yeah they're gonna come in with like an open mind
and you're not gonna shoot through the door on the way in right hey okay first thing i shot your
dog no it's just a ring i just put an axe through it so we called them i explained there was no fire
that's like the first thing no fire there's no fire except in my heart for Owen. We got fireball. And I only had a ring stuck on my hand, but within five minutes, the brigade was at my door.
They wanted to see these idiots.
Would you guys like to guess how many firefighters showed up for a ring on a finger?
Seven.
Eleven.
Four.
One of you is one off, so want to go up or down?
Eight.
Ten.
Five.
Six. Amanda claims there were six firefighters at her house. of you is one off so want to go up or down eight ten five six
amanda claims there were six firefighters at her house in copper's road all attempting to
remove the silver ring from her finger using equipment such as a cutting blade and other
materials are they drunk too hey it is at some point do you think somebody's like
we can just cut the finger and there's a
good chance they'll reattach it yeah yes we can no way here's my idea if you had everybody there
and you could put it right on ice and you're all right they would i know i know a lady who had a
tumor in her neck and they took the head off and put it back on stop yep you took her head off
yeah they had to they had to cut it and fucking bring it the spine stayed on but all the meat
came the wires are so connected, but the meat came off.
They connected all the...
That's the thing, dude.
I've never heard anything.
That is the first...
They really had to think it over for a while.
That is the first time...
Have you lost your head?
Like I did for a little while.
Just because I don't think...
You would lose your head if it wasn't attached to your body.
I didn't.
It's still here. I've done that. Just because I don't think you would lose your head if it wasn't attached to your body. I didn't. It's still here.
I've done that.
Just because I don't think anyone has ever heard that.
Yeah.
And all three of us did a collective comic thing where we go and realize you aren't doing
it.
No, you're really being real.
I just want you to talk about that in public.
She came to, she'd had, she'd she had a tumor before yeah and they checked her
out and they're like fuck we found another tumor it's a really really bad place and she's like
that's it i'm terminal like i'm not good and then and then like three weeks later she goes so
so this doctor they made her a pester i have a crazy dispenser like if a doctor's like, I have a crazy idea. Did you say they Pez dispensered her? Yes. Right?
Yes.
I mean, yeah.
That's amazing.
Oh, my God.
If you had the option.
If the doctor sat her down and he goes, look, I want to Pez you.
Wait a minute.
Did you say peg?
If you had the option, would you want the doctor to provide you with a photo of what it looks like?
Yes.
Absolutely. Oh, you guys are wild. That's my Christmas card next year. Yes. Would you want the doctor to provide you with a photo of what it looks like? Yes, absolutely.
Oh, you guys are wild.
That's my Christmas card next year.
Yes. Do you know?
So like crazy year guys played in a championship game.
I had my head taken off.
That's your album.
And all of our daisies came up this summer again.
That's your album cover, right?
No scarf needed.
That's your album cover.
Heads up.
Heads up comedy.
Necrophilia.
Necrophilia.
I have a family member who had an open heart.
By the way,
that's not that big of a deal.
I know,
but this is the thing that I still think about because when they do open heart
surgery and they crack you open and then they got in there and they were going
to do a double bypass.
They were like,
I think we can quad this thing.
And so that quadded it.
And then what a lot of people don't know is they then stand
around the literal doctors surgeons everybody just stays in the room for about an hour like
playing on their phone and fucking around or doing whatever while open yes to make sure that it all
prompted works and the idea that a loved one is in the same building as you somewhere just wide
open yeah for an hour. While they just answer emails
and do shit. You can't go throw stuff in. No.
But it's just wild to think about.
See if you can put some love in that heart. I haven't
seen that guy say I love you once in
20 years. She's got a fire in her heart.
She calls the goddamn fire brigade.
You tell me if you find some empathy in there.
Don't you
unblock that. Attempt to use a
cutting blade and other materials oh my god at
this point i was in a lot of pain from probably from the blade yeah well they're cutting her
finger as her finger was starting to swell and turn a darker blue oh my god she explained the
cutting device wasn't working even after changing the blade they doled a blade on her this is like
the lord of the rings ring yeah what is this made of? Go to fucking Mordor for this.
This is like Uncut Gems, the movie.
I'm uncomfortable the whole time.
Oh, my God.
The amount of time.
I literally was.
I don't talk a lot during movies or at the screen.
Yeah.
But I think there were three times I was out loud said, stop.
Stop it.
Don't do it.
Everybody stop.
Just stop it.
And everybody around me felt the same way.
That was me watching Barbie.
Barbie.
You're like, just somebody stop this.
I loved it.
I never saw it.
I don't like dolls.
It's still a good joke.
You would love it.
You would genuinely.
I don't like, I'm scared of it.
You would genuinely love that movie.
I gotta watch that one.
Okay.
The device wasn't working after changing the blade, so they carried out an elastic thread
trick.
What is?
Which Owen was helping them
google under the thing yes and try and pull it along yes that doesn't make sense now i had to
take a bracelet off at the high plains festival shout out all the townies who came up to that
and i did the trick where you put a plastic bag all the way around under it and then you pull the
black so your hands in the bag and then you tuck it in and then you pull it back over and it stretches it
at every point
around the circumference.
Great idea.
It's a good way
for sneaking into festivals
and stuff.
Yeah.
Slide a hand in
and then go under the bracelets
and then pull the bag back
at once.
Everything off.
That's a great idea.
I know.
All I know is
if you ever have a wet wetsuit
and you want to put it on
plastic bag.
How do you mean?
You put your feet and hands into a plastic bag and slide it through the sleeve.
There you go.
That'll get you through.
Same deal.
Same deal.
But guys, you skipped over this.
They carried out an elastic thread trick, which Owen was helping them Google.
Right.
So you've reached a point with the fireman where no one's...
Google it.
No, uniforms don't matter. The drunk guy is like, I'm going to Google it. They're like, listen to him. them google right so you've reached a point with the fireman where no one's google it no uniforms
don't matter like i'm gonna google it they're like listen to him because none of this shit and
how long do you think he was like i think i got something here and they were like okay man we got
blades just please get back we are professional they went through two blades and they're like
all right what do you what was the thing that's why they had six people there you only need two
people to do it there's four guys that are keeping him back. Credit them for going, okay, we're open to, like, in the writer's room.
We're blue-skying.
We're open to all ideas.
Let's get everything on the board here.
I'm open to this woman proposing to him.
There's one guy writing on the wall.
All right, what do we got?
We got no bad answers.
Hooker in a toilet.
That's, what is this, an infraction?
That feels like a season two, guys.
The firefighters finally managed to pull it off,
and my finger was in a lot of pain, but I didn't care.
I was just thankful that the ring was off my finger.
On Monday, Owen took matters into his own hands
and formally proposed to Amanda just without the ring.
He put this ring on the same ring.
No!
Freeze frame, dead in it, credits roll.
Owen, Amanda's partner partner we know that by now
just read it again real quickly just say owen owen who amanda's partner oh where'd this guy
come from oh right like we're drunk yeah the proposal said quote the proposal wasn't anything
crazy we were lying on the sofa and it felt right well that's what got you into trouble the first
time that's right it felt right we both got pretty emotional i wouldn't say i met your finger severing emotional amanda added i'm yet
to get a ring so the second time they did it no ring no ring he just asked yeah you don't get a
ring you don't get a ring you wasted your opportunity to get a ring that's right you
don't get a lot what would you put on that finger like that would scare me just put a collar i tell
people as an unmarried man uh really consider having the conversation about ring or payment towards a down,
like put money towards a down payment on a house.
This is the conversation I have with my wife.
She's like,
should we have a wedding?
I go,
why don't we just go to Hawaii,
the two of us and get married.
And then we have a bunch of money to use for life and stuff.
That's right.
Yeah.
It just depends what,
it depends what people are, what they want.
You could do that.
Or you do a smaller version of all that stuff.
Like, let's get a ring, but it's tiny.
Let's get your grandmother's ring.
I know you guys are a bit older than me,
and not that I'm very young either,
but I think you guys operate young,
and I think I do too, just in terms of like
where we are in comedy and everything.
I think you guys, and especially people much younger than me do not give a fuck about a lab made diamond versus a especially actually they probably more want a lab made because they're more
conscious of fucking blood diamonds except that i'm gonna say i will say this and i don't give a
fuck about a cubic zirconia i don't so say this. Who cares? But our sponsor, James Allen, who does that stuff, that stuff is amazing.
I agree.
And that is the right way to do it.
But they also offer all those things.
I know.
So they offer everything.
Take it out, Aaron, if I'm wrong.
But I looked at the site.
But that's the thing.
Like, I remember we went in.
It's so confusing when you go in because they're like, you can have this cut and this clarity
and this thing and it's like i'm like what's the difference between like a b clarity diamond and a f clarity diamond they show them both next to me
and i'm like i'm looking at them and i can't tell the difference i agree you think someone waving
their ring around from 50 miles away you're saying maybe this is like they're just like we're not
gonna do a ring or what about get a ring for this gal put it on
a necklace and do it that way yeah i like an old-fashioned ring but i like you know you you
give her the ring and then you also in a box you give her the child's arm that was severed get it
yeah i think that's a great you know what it's called love it's gotta be a big box
this is really a blood diamond. Here's the certificate.
There's still blood on it.
Let's just be cool, guys. How do we know it's authentic?
Here's the arm.
All right.
A man that I love, Owen.
Do you guys know who that is?
Who is that?
We're going to need a refresher.
Amanda's partner.
Oh, okay, great.
Got it.
Said, we both got pretty emotional.
Yeah, because you have PTSD from the last time this happened.
Which, by the way, which means they didn't get that emotional.
Pretty emotional.
Pretty emotional.
Amanda added, I'm yet to get a ring because it was impromptu oh my god i forgot i swear to god i forgot and i have a little ptsd along with the still swollen and bruised
finger so they're waiting to heal before they get back on yeah to the field of marriage
owen wants to buy me a crazy ring ready i love it in the end they're like hey we're still in
dumb people time yeah
owen wants to buy me a crazy ring with a dragon on it or something or but i have yet to remind
him that i'll it'll be me wearing it i don't think our friends at james allen have dragon rings
from new zealand so maybe they do have dragons he said he's gonna get me a crazy ring with a
dragon on it which is translations for he's not going to ask me what I want.
And you're going to hear this and you're going to hear the sentence, babe.
The jewels are the eyes.

guys but then you guys went there and you guys arched barker it barker it was very weird the
last time i was there we did did a 2,400 seat theater.
Amazing.
And Bill Murray was in the back watching for a little bit.
And I was just like, it didn't really dawn on me.
And then I was at a party with some other comics.
And the guy was like, no, you're one of the big acts in Australia.
I was like, what are you talking about?
And he goes, no, you're one of the top headlining acts.

Yeah, we do a second podcast, which I would describe as this, but in the past.
Yes.

So it's basically I just, I grab one newspaper from a date anywhere from the 1600s through now.
It's great.
And I just read it to Gareth and a guest.
It's great.
Love it.
Phenomenal.
It's great.
Simple and great. And just proves that like, you know know how people are like they could read the phone book and

funny i'm like was there a phone when did alexander graham bell do his thing all right uh jay's got
second story let's do it.
Okay, guys. We have another Am I the Asshole
story from Reddit. I love these.
Possibly no one better.
Dave thinks everyone's
an asshole. That's number one.
Most people think Dave's an asshole.
This is sent in by
our old buddy Kyle Andrews at Late Night
Nachos. Thank you, buddy. Here's the
headline. Am I... I don't know if there's a headline really,
but am I an asshole? Am I the asshole
for refusing to take my girlfriend
to nice places because she
eats like a kid? Off of
the headline, David. Yeah, you're
an asshole. Yeah, but also
what is the kid eating? Yeah, exactly.
I need you to define it. You guys all can speak
to this. Have you done with your kids go, well, let's
not go here because they're just going to order.
Well, no.
The only time I didn't bring my kid was when he was super young and you couldn't get him to sit in a chair or whatever.
Right.
Better than that, you're like, no, sit, eat.
Like, oh, don't eat a steak with your hands.
It's easy to teach them not to do.
Also, find something on the menu.
I mean, look.
Is that what he's talking about?
I think she only orders chicken nuggets, right?
Let's get in.
Every Italian restaurant can just give you buttered noodles
sure which is such which is sometimes which is fine to me when you say to like if you're if it's
an adult that's with you your girlfriend or boyfriend and you say to the waiter he'll just
have buttered noodles you're basically saying we give up yeah we give up we shouldn't be here he's
in sweatpants i'm
kind of with him i'm kind of with him okay yeah here we go my girlfriend is an incredibly picky
eater yes right yeah like i said in my title so he's mad at us like we forgot like what's going
look go up to the top again read that he's read the first line again my girlfriend is incredibly
eater so what's this article about? Like I said in my title.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, my girlfriend's a picky eater.
I mean, by the way, not that far from the title either.
What?
Don't you remember the title?
This is...
I don't even know what we're talking about.
Like I said.
Right.
This is a dumb, self-feeling smart person.
Right.
Yes.
Who is doing that version of of i am fine how are you
like that's how they enter the like the only thing they remember is like you need to clearly state
at the beginning what we're talking about like i said in my title she mean i'm sorry you mean
headline yeah it's not a title. My summer was great.
Like I said on my channel, she eats like she is 10 years old.
In fact, I'll give a short list of things she refuses to eat.
Okay, good.
Let's hear it.
Let me just say this.
I bet there's two or three of them that I've read.
All right, well, here's the list.
Unflavored water.
What?
She doesn't drink?
No, but I actually know a lot of people that don't like to just drink water.
If you give me a choice between a
Spindrift and a regular Sparkling, I'm going to
do Spindrift. Yeah. Thank you.
But also,
they have fruit. By the way,
here's my question. How come it doesn't come out of the tap
like berry flavored?
I don't think this is that bad.
Continue down the list here
Fish
And then in parenthesis
There's a lot of people that don't like fish
In parenthesis
Excluding fried shrimp
Well she eats some
So she eats fish
She eats shrimp
Listen to this one
Anything with bones
Okay
Okay that's a feeling
A lot of people don't eat chicken on the bone
That's
Yeah that's actually
Wait are they saying
She won't eat chicken Or she just won't eat chicken With bones bone and that's yeah that's actually wait are they saying she won't eat chicken or she just want to chicken anything that has a bone so i will say this if like they're
like be careful of the bones in that salmon i'm like get this shit away from me i don't want to
have to like pull a bone yeah i i stopped eating fish with little bones a while ago fuck that shit
so far she's just a vegetarian cheese other than sharp cheddar okay she eats sharp
cheddar does he sharp cheddar this guy is looking for a way to break up with this woman am i right
yeah you are but also like this is also having had kids yeah and watch people do it yeah there's
there's certain things that like if your kid's just eating one kind of cheese i mean if you're
adult just eating one kind of cheese because I mean, if you're an adult just eating one kind of cheese, it's because your parents are never like, try this cheese, try this cheese.
Nobody told her to try it.
Like you never got exposed to it.
Because, by the way, she'd love a Munster.
I'm telling you right now.
She'd love a Munster.
She'd love a Munster to help this woman out.
Okay.
Spinach.
Spinach.
I'm with her.
Onions.
I'm with her if it's good.
Now you're going to stop.
I really enjoy it.
Garlic.
Get her out of here.
Pasta without red sauce.
She eats a red sauce pasta. She she's like i hate flavor eggs spicy food
spicy food aioli i agree with her aioli freaks me out a little bit can get a little creamy
what yes restaurant i could we could take her to ketchup ketchup potatoes other than french fries well then she does she does like potatoes
pastries with fruit how about that i love that he's like we can't go to so far i can't take
this woman anywhere and expect her to eat a pastry with fruit so far how am i supposed to
be with this woman so far i'm trying to figure out what she does eat what i have left is grilled
cheese uh krispy Kreme. Citrus.
Sausage or any non-American food.
Is sausage a non-American food?
It's not.
Go to Chicago, you asshole.
What are you talking about?
You know.
Help her out.
So now this is where Dan is 100% right.
He tried.
He thinks he's smart.
And his words belie his intelligence.
Once again, as I said in my headline.
This compares to me, someone who grew up in multiple different regions of the U.S.
and lived in abroad for a few years.
Nope.
Hold on.
I lived in abroad for like a night.
This compares to me,. This compares to me.
Someone who compares to me present tense.
He also did multiple and different, which just broke my brain.
So she won't eat sausage.
I've been in multiple different several places.
Oh, because he's saying it about himself.
So she won't eat sausage.
Or any non-American food.
Grilled cheese is really the only thing i have left
unless you'll eat meat without bone like if you eat a hamburger chicken tenders chicken tenders
all damn about impossible meat whenever me and my girlfriend all right you can't act like you're
smart if you're gonna say me and my girlfriend yeah whenever me and my girl i'm clearly the
intellectual here so when me and my girlfriend go out somewhere nice she ends up getting the same meals usually either a burger
or chicken tenders and fries so fine she is 10 we could be going to an authentic napoles restaurant
so i'm saying you can't you guys you can't take her to moza hey look they'll make a burger don't
make a pasta with a red sauce.
They'll make a pasta with a red sauce.
I've eaten it a ton of places.
Never have I been like, well, I can't take you to an authentic Nepalese place.
If I can't eat the food of Nepal.
You're not going to have a good Kyrgyzstan meal.
Dave, you and I both.
She won't eat a kefta kebab This This lady
This son
A meat potato morph
But Dave
Not unless it's got french fries in it
She ain't eating those potatoes
You and I deeply love and respect
The island of Kauai
Yes
She's not going to eat a fucking loco moco
No way She's going to eat a fucking loco moco no way she's gonna eat nothing
every night at that fucking yeah like uh mcdonald's could she have a pork dish it would be
no citrus it would be annoying of course oh my god but i would understand if she was like, babe, our reservation is at seven 30.
I'm going to eat at six at our house and then we'll go,
I'll get a fucking cocktail.
You order whatever you want.
But like how much,
and I'll eat the fucking bread.
Okay.
So now let me do,
and then you're like,
awesome.
We're going to this amazing restaurant and we're only ordering for one and
you're still having a great time.
So,
but let me do my impression of him ordering for both of them at whatever whatever you gotta get way you gotta have to be very intelligent he's like
i'm gonna order me and my girlfriend are gonna order right now so i'm gonna have the uh whatever
i'll have like the poke bowl and the this and the that with onions and garlic and you can throw uh
any type of cheese you want on that whatever you want
and uh she's like i'm sorry are you getting a poogie bowl of cheese yeah she's like well me
and my girlfriend so she's gonna have nothing she's gonna have like do you have chicken nuggets
i know you probably can you go fire up throw those in the microwave just because she doesn't
really eat anything she don't she don't like the food she don't like the food from here she only
likes it if it's from America.
She don't get it. Here's what's wild. And all
four of us have experienced this at least once in our
life. The bougier the restaurant,
the more accommodating they are to those
crazy chefs. Because they really have to
accommodate all the time. But my point is,
how many waiters has
he pled the case that she's
being a jerk to? Only imagine.
Just by ordering for her yes like do
you guys watch chef's table you watch that documentary like there was there's a restaurant
in chicago where they were talking about this restaurant maybe it was a different documentary
about this restaurant in chicago maybe where they're like our job is to make these people
have the experience their lives and the and they over like a waiter
overhears one of the people in the restaurant say you you haven't gotten deep dish well that's this
you're thinking of the bear oh that was the episode of the bear no but but it is real because
that takes place in ever which is owned by one of my close friends and that is a two-star michelin
restaurant they have five stars all together so they like they go out and they get a slice of
deep dish and they bring it
and they give this person
and that's,
I think that happens
in a few really nice restaurants.
So this guy's mad
that like someone's
going to run down
to McDonald's
and have to get her
at this Napoli's restaurant.
I mean,
asshole's strong,
but I think he's in the wrong.
Okay.
He's saying to me
it's kind of embarrassing
to go to a restaurant
where there is a dress code.
You know what I call that?
A cat man don't.
And for her to order chicken tenders and fries.
It especially bothers me that since I typically pay,
well,
here we go.
I end up,
then you should be happy.
Yeah.
She just got,
I end up all off the kids menu.
I mean,
you'd be even happier if she's paying,
not ordering and paying order off the kids menu.
She's probably just eating like bread,
right?
Well,
she's chicken.
I end up paying 15 bucks for chicken tenders that I could get from the freezer section
at Walmart.
Okay, fuck this dude on this.
Okay, who gives a shit?
You're out to dinner.
You are paying for the experience.
The four of us went out to eat right now and you fucking ordered oysters and I don't have
any and you get something that you guys split.
Splitting it four ways.
It is the experience.
We paid for the night.
That's right.
I went to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant in London once and it was a three and a half hour meal.
It's the fucking experience.
That's the experience.
It's not the food.
It is not.
It's just like, how many kinds of cheeses do you have?
It's the experience, not the tenders.
Please tell this woman this.
Recently in our area, a very nice dinner place opened up, and my girlfriend has been dying to go.
She wants to go. She wants to go.
She wants to go.
I took a look at the place and the menu.
She saw that it looked nice, but the food was kind of pricey.
She said she was probably going to get chicken tenders as per usual.
I would fist pump.
I love her now.
I love her.
She knows who she is.
I would be like, fuck yeah.
I'm going to marry this woman.
She's going to be money conscious.
I asked her, what's the point of going?
Then if I could toss some tenders in the air fryer for her, he doesn't even want it to be in a regular fryer.
I like that he's got an air fryer.
And not spend a ridiculous amount of money on it.
She asked why I had an attitude about this.
And I told her that I thought it was a waste of time and money to go to a nice place.
He's an ass.
And get a little kid food and get little kid food.
Little kid food is so pejorative.
Little kid food is so pejorative.
She should expand.
I bet they make their own chicken tenders
and they're fucking incredible.
They're incredible.
She interpreted this as me calling her a little kid.
You did.
Which you did.
Which you totally did.
I clarified that I wasn't calling her a child.
You are.
However, it is kind of childish for her.
You're calling her a kid
To eat the way she does
I also said that if she's going to order food
We can make it home
There is not a point to us going anywhere
You mean there's no point?
Yeah, okay, so here's like just from my perspective
So you're annoyed by this thing about your girlfriend, right?
Like you're like, oh, I don't like this thing
So here's what I do
I probably break up with her
instead of writing it on Reddit.
Oh, the worst.
Let me plead my case.
Like, why are you still with her?
He wants the world to get behind him.
This led to an argument about me thinking I'm better than her.
No, you do.
You do.
Am I the asshole?
You are the asshole.
This person knows exactly who she is.
She's not going to change.
Right.
How, honestly, I think about
this like this. It's like pitching a TV show right now. We could all, we could come up with
the greatest pitch right now. If a network doesn't want to buy a show from us for whatever reason,
they're not going to buy it. Even if it's perfect. Yeah. Somebody who they want to be in business
with could come in and be like, I don't know. It's kind of a show about lawyers. I don't know.
That's all we got. And if they want to be in business, they'll buy that show on the
spot. Period. If you want to be, you're looking for a way out, get out. There's also this thing
where like, you think you have it all together. You think you'd have a great me and my wife
earlier, early on in our relationship, she like said something like, Oh, okay. So you're going
to do this again. And I go, I have a list, too. And she goes, what?
I go, the list in your head about me?
I have one also.
I just don't bring it up all the time.
Because I love you in spite of it.
Yeah, because I'm with you in spite of my list, and I don't bring up my list.
And we'd have a list.
No, it's not going to change.
And you'd have a list with anybody.
Did that change?
Yeah, you're old enough.
I love your wife.
It's not going to change.
I love your wife so much.
Did she get it?
Oh, totally.
Not only did she get it, but she uses it with her clients now.
Yeah, that's so great. She's a therapist. She she's like you are bringing up your list all the time but
they might have a list they're just not bringing up true why your wife is so smart and why she is
great is the and why she is actually so much fun to talk to in that way too because she just gets
people period yeah my last thing about this is we wrote a pilot for you guys for Comedy Central.
And afterwards, we all went out to this great bar in your neighborhood area.
Yeah, the Thirsty Crow.
Yep.
And I remember it was all of us and a little-known comic, Nate Bargatze.
And we're sitting there, and I order a Jack and Coke.
And the bartender comes over to me and goes,
we actually have this amazing whiskey on special
so i made it for you with that because it is so much better than jack daniels
now is she technically probably right in terms of taste and flavor and awards maybe all that shit
but i am one i am of an age where i know exactly what i like and you may go you seem like you're
hoping you're slash in 1989 or you're still a frat guy.
I go, no, I'm just old enough to go, if I'm picking, just give me fucking Jack and Coke.
Did you try it?
Of course.
And it was very good.
But it wasn't the flavor of what I wanted.
And so she's old enough to go, hey, dude, maybe they didn't give me enough shit.
She's old enough to be like a seven-year-old.
Maybe I'm recessed in my fucking abilities to have a good palate
but i also like this and you and i have a great fucking time together so here's another she's old
enough to eat like a seven here's another but make it fun make it fun be at home be like i'm putting
a blindfold on you right now i'm gonna have you taste two things and you tell me if you like it
that's it and instead of doing this chicken, you do some like chicken piccata,
which has a breaded thing and a flavor and stuff like that.
And you're like,
Oh,
I like this.
Okay.
Here's another thing.
And if she refuses,
then ask you,
I should,
I just break up with her,
but you're an asshole.
You're an asshole.
If you care about that,
if,
if what it goes back to what I'm saying,
you're looking for a reason not to like her because who cares what your
partner is?
Who gives a she's anyway.
Okay. So yeah, you, you can still go out and eat and enjoy yourself. Like it doesn't, it doesn't matter. By the way, reason not to like her because who cares what your partner is who gives a she's okay so yeah
you you can still go out and eat and enjoy yourself like it doesn't it doesn't matter
by the way nate bargeski the the water heater bit have you seen his new so he's so freaking good
all right let's take a break story number three is perhaps one of the greatest father and son
interactions of all time right it's a short one and it's a beautiful one.
I also,
I'm going to say what you made me think of,
which is an old dumb people.
I love it.
We'll talk about that on the other side of the break.
Dave Anthony,

What were you going to say?
Oh,
you said father,
son interaction.
I'll just never forget the story of the guy who wanted to impress his son by
stealing cars.
His stepson,
but he didn't really stepson,
but he didn't really,
cause he was being a punk kid stealing.
So he wanted him,
the dad,
stepdad wanted him to like him.
So he stole cars, too.
But he would just move them two blocks away.
Two blocks away.
Because he couldn't fully commit to stealing a car.
I actually think this is better.
Okay.
You ready?
Here we go.
Masked dad accidentally tried to rob son at gunpoint.
This happened.
Excuse me.
At knife point.
This happened. Oh, is it Scottish?
The
I think
it is in England. I don't know. But he knows
he's the masked one, right?
It's not like his son's mask. He didn't know it was his son
and he tried to rob him. Okay.
The man and we'll guess his age. This is like the dad
who signed up for his daughter's only fan
pay. You know what you're doing.
We established
top tier pieces of shit back then.
By the way, I love that he said that this got us.
And we'll get his age.
Father pounced at an ATM
in Glasgow's Crane Hill
on November 19th.
If there's a story about
stabbings, it is always Scotland.
The sun, and we'll get right out of right outside of a bell
and sebastian concert i used to i used to watch uh lock up on msnbc when it was on and every time
they did a scottish episode it was like what are you in for i stabbed a guy like everybody why did
i make him from australia all right uh the victim and we'll get his age too had used the cash machine
close to his home uh to withdraw how much money pounds british pounds
how much money i'm gonna say 40 40 pounds what do you think 100 pounds get your answers in townies
because he was just withdrawing 10 pounds that's it oh my god that is like a such a small i really
thought you were gonna go 40 20 10 he saw a hooded man dressed in dark clothing with a snood over his
face which i'm assuming is like a mask, lurking nearby.
Prosecutors, Kerry Stevens told Glasgow Sheriff's Court
as he put his card in his pocket
and took the cash from the machine,
he turned left and felt something
against the left side of his face.
This is like a LA story.
Steve Martin, remember?
Hi, my name's Phil.
I'll be robbing you today.
Right, okay.
He was pinned up against the wall by the neck.
The boy felt a large kitchen knife pressed against his face.
Kitchen knife.
I wish you would have recognized the kitchen knife.
That would have been the greatest part.
I can't cut knives.
Dad, I gave you that.
I gave you that.
This opens for, this provides a Star Wars moment.
Takes the mask off.
No.
My dear father.
No, the accused stated, give it to me.
Give it, give it, give me it now. Dad? Okay, give me it. Give am your father. No, the accused stated, give it to me. Give it. Give it. Give me it now.
Dad?
Okay, give me it.
Give me it now.
The victim instantly identified the dad from his voice and his eyes.
No, I'm not.
And his eyes.
No, no.
This is somebody else.
Dad?
Stun Boy said, are you serious?
Why are you out so late?
Are you serious?
Do you know who this is?
The attacker replied, I don't give a fuck who it is.
Oh, he's doubling down on the bitch.
Oh, my Lord.
Or he's just so juiced up these juice i mean yeah i've never robbed anybody in atm you're you're everything's
like doing a five minute comedy set you get the energy up you're flying for another 10 minutes
in the moment we probably we'd probably all be terrified but definitely later on
wouldn't you kind of think a little bit less of your mugger if it was a kitchen knife
yeah like one of the little like later on when you're bitching about it and your adrenaline
is coming you're like in a fucking kitchen knife i mean you didn't even plan this right just left
the house right serrated bread knife yeah like honestly like it doesn't have a point at the end
the victim then pulled the snood down revealing the dad's face and said what are you doing
the man responded fucking stupid the man responded
i'm sorry i'm desperate but it's your money but his son fled the scene and told such an idiot
his gran about the ordeal his grandma before the police were alerted the robber was later arrested
his home and initially denied being the culprit but later said i didn't know it was him at the
cash machine i done it i will do
the time for it so now he's going to teach his kid the best lesson of all you have no leverage over
that kid for the rest of his life exactly or do you have a lot because you have everything to
fucking take it to the blade or are you like look i don't give a shit what goes on i will fucking
stab you that's right like i will stab you how about the fact that he could then say to everybody
court cops anyone i was trying to teach my kid the ultimate lesson if you commit a crime or do
something wrong you do the time the time you commit the crime you do the time and i wanted
you to learn that's right and i was trying to talk to this kid but i couldn't get you know they
grow up so fast you don't even recognize them in an atm thank you dan you're coming up with all the things so so he was clearly distanced from the dad this is a there's a dad who hasn't been around i don't
know but the kid recognized him from his voice but then he still went home to gran which is
probably where he lives with gran that's a good point gran lives with him all right he pled guilty
of the charge of attempting to rob the victim the man also admitted possession of a knife
in a public place which as you know it's scotland
they have a lot of this i had cheese also i had to cut up the haggis somehow all right edward
gilroy defending told the court his mother brother and son are all extremely angry with them
probably true before the fucking atm right sheriff and ruin thanksgiving last andrew cooby
jailed the dad for how many months how many months was he jailed for boxing day yeah six
six months what do you think three a year okay get transfers in town he's armed robbery i know
he jailed the uh dad for 26 months whoa you didn't even get to stab your kid.
At least draw some blood.
Now who stabbed who in the back?
I don't know about Scottish prisons, but 26 makes me feel like
for what you went in, you're going to come out way worse.
Based on what I've seen on
Lockup, but it's not that bad. It's not like an American
prison. It's better.
It seems so long. Is he going to be a different person
out of that thing? I think he's already been
there. I don't think this is his first time.
I think it should be called, that show should be called Locked Up, Stocked Up in Two Smoking
Barrels.
Okay.
Sentencing the sheriff said, these are an extraordinary set of events.
We'll get out of here on this.
Okay.
How old at the time was the father and the son?
Obviously, they're not the same age, but let's do the father first.
How old was the father who tried to pull this
off? David, you want to go first? Father
is 36. Okay.
Go ahead. What's your reasoning?
36. 36 and like 18. Had a
teenage kid. Okay. 36.
What do you think? I'm guessing both
or just the dad. Just the dad.
42. 50. Alright.
Get your answers in townies because the father
26 months in prison holding a
kitchen knife to his son's face in atm 28 45 years old now the son is how old is the son and we'll
get out of here on this david thank you so much 27 20 uh 22 okay you. I love you so much. I love glad you're here.
What a treat.
It's fun.
It's always fun.
The dollop is the show.

It is such a fun show.

And you guys, our fans.
The son is, you again said 22, 20, 27.
The son who got a knife in the face and then recognized it was his dad
and then went home to gran 17 years old.
That's how we do it guys.
Understand who you're robbing.
Wow.
Understand the relationship between,
and if it's Scotland,
I guess all bets are off and there are knives involved guys.
That is a show.
We love you.
And Oh shit.
We got to get back to work.
Bye.
