Hey townies, welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town. Population you.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Population Fitzdog. Fitz Simmons. Greg Fitzsimmons, a.k.a. Fitzdog. The host of Fitzdog Radio. Is it still Fitzdog Radio? It will always be Fitzdog Radio. And, you know, there was a time in my life where I should have made a strategic change in my branding. And?
Starting point is 00:01:05 I was in Boston, and a woman calls up the Faneuil Hall Comedy Connection. And let's assume she's an overweight black woman for the sake of this story. Okay, sure. Fine. She calls the club and she goes,
Starting point is 00:01:13 who on the show tonight? She was from the 19th century. Yeah, sure, sure. Who on the show tonight? And then they go, well, it's Anthony Clark, Jackie Flynn, and Greg Fitzsimmons.
Starting point is 00:01:23 And she goes, is Grapefruit Simmons the headliner? And at that moment, I should have changed my name to Grapefruit Simmons. Grapefruit Simmons is always the headliner. No matter where he goes in the lineup. Grapefruit Simmons is a boxer who always won, but his eyes got punched so hard they would just swell the size of grapefruits. That's right. And I was just like, but Grapefruit Simmons, like a little sugar on top, it's a bittersweet show.
Starting point is 00:01:50 It's bittersweet. It's fresh. Cuts to the core of what's going on. This little jaundice as a child. Grapefruit Simmons only has cordless mics. That's right. Grapefruit Simmons sits on the floor when he does stand-up. That's right. I go on the Citrus Comedy Tour. Grapefruit Simmons sits on the floor when he does stand-up. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Yeah. I go on the Citrus Comedy Tour. Yeah. Grapefruit Simmons sometimes doesn't wear shoes or socks when he performs. And one of my fans actually liked the story, and so he made a t-shirt with a grapefruit with my glasses and hat on it. I love it. And I sell them on my website.
Starting point is 00:02:21 There you go. Look at that. Grapefruit Simmons. Grapefruit Simmons. At what website? What's the website? Fitztog.com. Fitztog.com.
Starting point is 00:02:27 All right. Well, I'm sure you are aware of this. We've spoken with you about this before. We think the world's getting dumber or dumb is getting louder or dumb and smarter fighting and dumb. And dumb has dumb drunk strength that it's just beating. It can't be stopped. It can't be tased.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Yes. It can't be tased by reason. So we are trying to... Dumber is stronger, isn't it, in general? Way stronger, and now just seems to have a wave of confidence. It's out in the open now, and it can just destroy. Why is that? Even think about grammar
Starting point is 00:02:55 school. The dumb kids were the bullies. The smart kids were never tougher. Why not? Shoving math papers in your face. And if the smart kids try to play dumb's game. They lose. You lose. You lose at dumb's game.
Starting point is 00:03:09 That's right. So the only way we can fight back is through comedy, we believe. And we get dumb ears on the ground, and they send us these great stories, and Dan gets them, and Dan gets them, too. We have not seen them. Fitzy, you haven't seen them. Grapefruit, you haven't seen them. So let's get into one right now.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Are you ready? Yes. Wow. This was sent in by Casey Kustik. K-U-S-T-A-K. Kustik? I don't know. At Casey K underscore comedy.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Thank you, Casey. Thanks. Here we go. A Florida couple was arrested last week. That's it. That's the whole story. There you go. Done. Story two. Moving on. Half of your story. Moving on. They were arrested last week. By the way, the couple that gets arrested together go. Done. Story two. Moving on. That must be the premise of half of your story. Moving on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:46 They were arrested last week. Well, so, by the way, the couple that gets arrested together does stay together. Am I right? Oh, absolutely. I mean, like, when was the last time you did something with your wife that's as committed as getting arrested? Getting arrested together. Well, there's nothing sweeter than that visiting room. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:00 You know, where you try to- The conjugal bed. Yes. You take an eight ball. You put it in a hole. You pass it across. That happens a lot here. But the other thing about it is that moment where you get arrested for doing something,
Starting point is 00:04:12 it's the horrible moment of like, oh my God, what have I done? And then the other horrible moment of, oh shit, I'm not going to tell my wife. Or my spouse. I got to reveal it to my spouse, my husband or wife. But they're there with you. There's no one else to reveal it to. If you're getting arrested with your husband or wife, are you, while being arrested, sorting out, like, what's... Who's whose fault?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Oh, yeah, who's whose fault, who's going to watch the kids. Yeah, there is no sorting out. You know what I mean? Because if you're the woman getting arrested and your husband is just there, you're like, honey, call so-and-so, tell... But if you're together, they must keep talking. Like, if I got arrested with my friend, I'm not going to keep talking to my friend. No, no, no. But you have a lot to sort out with your spouse.
Starting point is 00:04:51 A lot of logistical stuff when you're arrested with your spouse. Are we wrong? You should have a point person. Depending on your socioeconomic status, you need a point person in these things. Because if you're wealthy, you've got a lawyer. Right. If you're not wealthy, you've got a crazy uncle or a cousin who's like, I'll take care of it. I got it.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Well, grandparents step in a lot, and you've got to think, the reason why you may be the type of person that gets arrested could be your parents. Yeah. And now they're taking over for your child. So them stepping in is only like the universe coming around and being like, this is justice. Reinfecting the well. All right, what happened? A Florida couple was arrested last week after they were caught allegedly selling drugs out
Starting point is 00:05:29 of a drive-thru window they constructed on the side of their mobile home. Okay. I'm gonna give them credit. That is taking your business to another level. We work from home. We are selling drugs out of the mobile home, but people just don't want to come all the way in.
Starting point is 00:05:45 I know. Imagine this conversation. Honey, hear me out. We're going to save them so much time. We can service so much more people. I've been watching a lot of House Hunters Renovation, the hour-long episodes, and I don't think it's that hard to frame out a window. We already have a window. We could really open this space up.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Not only that, we can deliver. We're in a mobile fucking home. Now, lazy people go to drive-thru windows Really lazy people have drive-thru windows Come to their house Right You just honk honk Coming through with the drive-thru
Starting point is 00:06:15 Honey do we do one window or two? Like is this a McDonald's scenario? I say or a bank Do they send it in that little chute that goes down Yeah Or maybe they carved out, yeah, two windows. One is to order and pay, and the other is to pick it up. Which is like the wire.
Starting point is 00:06:30 You have a corner guy who grabs the money, and then another corner guy who brings you the drugs. Right. William Parrish Jr., Billy P. William the Refrigerator Parrish. Yeah. And Mackenzie Dobbs of Ocala, Florida were arrested on August... She didn't take his name.
Starting point is 00:06:48 How committed is she to their marriage? I don't think they're married. They're just a couple. A lot of common law in Florida. A lot of common law out of happenstance. We ain't a real couple
Starting point is 00:06:58 for three or four years. I guess it's good that they don't have the same last name so they're not like brother, sister, or cousin. I want to marry you but I don't think
Starting point is 00:07:04 we can afford the divorce. Well, if you put that fucking drive-thru... I'm just thinking ahead. You put that window in, we're going to be able to afford everything. I'm just thinking ahead. They're looking at like a standard home, and they're like, at the real, they're like, can you put a drive-thru in this home? No. Because where we're at right now, granted, it's a mobile home, but we've got a good setup.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Yeah. No. It's not where we're at right now. Granted, it's a mobile home, but we've got a good setup. Yeah. Mackenzie Dobbs of Ocala, Florida, were arrested on August 23rd after investigators raided their mobile home following reports of four drug overdoses in the area. So they were not giving out good stuff. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Or good instructions. Like, I get a thing that comes with stuff from the pharmacy, like 12 pages that I just throw away of instructions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a lot. I never read it. You're probably doing it wrong. But I know what to do with my, I know how many to take just because I know. I think they probably needed better instructions in the handout when they gave out the meth.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Yeah, and when I go to Rite Aid, they always ask, do you want to consult a pharmacist? And you should, you check no, a pharmacist? And you should. You check no. But in this case, you should not even be able to check no. When you get a violent crack, it is a mandatory. Consult the chemist. Yes. Ocala Police said the couple had turned.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Get a mouth guard. So, by the way, and you know these guys are saying, we did everything right. This is on the people who fucked up and OD'd. Right. So, it's saying, we did everything right. This is on the people who fucked up and OD'd. Right. So it's like, we did everything right. If those dummies wouldn't have OD'd on our great stuff, we would still be selling stuff out of it. Still be drive-thru windowing. Or they go, hey, you want an endorsement of our product?
Starting point is 00:08:36 People are taking so much of it, they're ODing. They can't stop themselves. You think we wanted to put a drive-thru in? Yeah. We're just meeting demand here. This is necessity. They can't stop themselves. You think we wanted to put a drive-thru in? Yeah. We're just meeting demand here. This is necessity. O'Callough police said the couple had turned a kitchen window into a drive-thru so customers would not have to constantly enter and exit their home, potentially drawing unwanted attention.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Meanwhile, you have a line of cars. Yes. And people outside. Also, imagine them being like, honey, you know, I get it. We're in the drug district. I just don't want these people in our house. I know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Well, what are we going to do? Drive-thru. Drive-thru is good. No one will pay attention to the fact that there's 11 cars lined up outside of our mobile home. And also, you know, when you want to leave work, you can just start work and move it. Right. And then go back to that location the next day. That's a great point.
Starting point is 00:09:24 You're not renting office space and a home. You're not fishing in the same place every time. It's a house. It's a meth food truck is what it is. The house had signs directing people where to drive and indicated whether or not it was open or closed. These two idiots seem to be thinking they're just living in a drug-free world. Or a drug-full world. Or it's like when your kids
Starting point is 00:09:48 were really little and they would crouch down and close their eyes and think that you can't see them because they can't see you. That's exactly what these people thought. They have shades. They pull down their shades and no one can see us. These signs are just to help the people that are buying the stuff. The cops roll up and be like,
Starting point is 00:10:03 what are you guys doing? Those signs weren't for you. No. You're not supposed to see that. I'm sorry. Can you see me right now? We were seeing incidents that were happening in a particular area, specifically at this particular location. So the cops didn't even, I mean, that's not hard.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Said Ocala Police Captain Stephen Cuppy. There were some heroin sales that were going on there. Subsequently, through the investigation, we were able to determine that the product was laced with fentanyl. Here is a picture of their drive-thru window. Fentanyl is like what they give pregnant women. Look at this. So that they...
Starting point is 00:10:37 They had like a... A close... No way. Be back in five minutes sign. Yes. That's amazing. That's their mobile home. That is...
Starting point is 00:10:45 Do you think the cops showed up and were like, guys, come on. Come on. No, I mean, they got to feel pretty good about it. Who?
Starting point is 00:10:51 The cops? The cops are like, that's impressive. For a minute, you go, that's impressive. It depends if this guy is a copy. They feel good about,
Starting point is 00:10:59 all right, you guys put forth a lot of effort. They don't feel good about their detective work, right? No. This was literally
Starting point is 00:11:03 signs. This was an easy find. But is he a copy half empty or a cuppy half full guy? Parrish was charged with driving under the influence. I don't know how that came into play. His house? I don't know. Keeping a dwelling
Starting point is 00:11:17 used to sell drugs, possession of drugs with intent to sell, and resisting arrest without violence. I always wonder how that works, too. Do you just say no too many times? Stop touching me. Just stop. That's resisting arrest without violence. I always wonder how that works too. Do you just say no too many times? Stop. Just stop. Is resisting arrest starting your office and moving it down the street?
Starting point is 00:11:34 Or is it just walking in a circle while they try to cuff you? You're not violently doing it. You're just making it difficult for them. You'd rather not be arrested is the charge. Dobbs has been charged with keeping a dwelling to sell drugs
Starting point is 00:11:48 and possession of drugs with intent to sell. That's going to be fun to be the guy that you tell what happened and then he comes up with the crimes that you broke. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Because some of these are really obscure. I know. So criminal mischief is our favorite. Yes. Because it's fun. Yeah. It's like it's just enjoyable. Like you know you didn't do it. Yes. Because it's fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:05 It's like, it's just enjoyable. Like, you know, you didn't do it. Like, you showed your balls at a parade. Or teepee the house. Teepee the house. Or you farted in a baby's face and they saw you do it. Yeah. You said na-na-na-na-na to a cop.
Starting point is 00:12:19 That's criminal mischief. That's fun. But like, yeah. You made peepee in somebody's coat. Yes. William Parrish. They put the Chinese handcuffs on you for that. That's fun. But like, yeah. You made pee-pee in somebody's coat. Yes. William Parrish. They put the Chinese handcuffs on you for that. William Parrish Sr.
Starting point is 00:12:31 You called this Fitzsimmons. The parents always come into play. Yeah. He said his son's trying to get himself straightened out and maintained that reports of overdoses were a lie. That's our world that we're in now. So now we're like, fake news. Fake news.
Starting point is 00:12:43 The cops are just like, yeah, you're right, man. You're right. We just made up people getting overdoses and used that as an opportunity to literally follow the signs to your son's mobile home. Nope, that's not true. And as if overdosing, does that affect the crime? The severity of the crime? No, not at all. You are doing something wrong.
Starting point is 00:13:01 You shouldn't be selling these drugs here. Yeah, I guess it kind of doesn't matter how they found out about it. So if you want to say that the overdosing is a lie, fine, but they still somehow found out. Some way they found out about your son's dumb business. Right, it doesn't matter. So it doesn't matter. Right. Well, no, I guess maybe because it's laced with fentanyl.
Starting point is 00:13:21 That's like saying, say you got food poisoning in a restaurant and you came back. And this is always a great one. Hey, I got food poisoning here. You guys owe me a free meal. I'd be like, you sure? I want to do that. I wouldn't. I want to do that at like Morton's Steakhouse.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Just see what happens. They'd probably give it to you. I bet they would. I'm going to let you guys choose. You are a guest, Greg Fitzsimmons. We usually play a game here called Guess the Agey. Would you like to try and guess the age of Mackenzie Dobbs or William Parrish? Too much fun leaves marks in life.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Living hard, you'll pay the price. Who is going to get it right? Fun leaves marks in life. Living hard, you'll pay the price. Who is gonna get it right? Guess the age. Guess the age. Knowing what we know about them. Both of them. Own a mobile home.
Starting point is 00:14:17 One of them has a dad that tries to make excuses for their life. They made a drive-thru window. They had a be-back later. You can pick the girl or the man that you would like to try and guess the age of. And then you can choose if you want to go first, Tig, which is second or third. I'm going to go third. Okay, and who would you like to guess? Parrish. Okay, William Parrish Jr., who's defended
Starting point is 00:14:35 by his, I hope, lawyer and dad, William Parrish Sr., with that great defense. That's a lie. Okay, so Jason or Randy, guess the agey. I'll go first. I think this guy is 39 years old. 39 years old. He's old enough to have seen enough that he would go
Starting point is 00:14:51 get that sign. Like a young kid doesn't get a Be Back. There's a certain level of entrepreneurship in that, right? A young kid doesn't get a Be Back in five minutes sign. Like, no way. No way. Unless he's fresh out of business school. F-I-U. I'm going to say
Starting point is 00:15:08 29. 29 years old. I think his Saturn has returned. I think he is in a relationship where he's like I got this figured out. You know how old you are? 29. You got a dreamcatcher tattoo? I think we met you when you were about 27. 26? 27?
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah, and we went, I forgot when we went down to D.C. to do those shows at the Kennedy Center with you. Oh, yeah. And hung with Robin Williams. Robin Williams. How crazy was that?
Starting point is 00:15:33 And Richard Pryor was there that week. Richard Pryor was being honored. He was being honored, and I got to shake his hand. He couldn't really speak very much, but I shook his hand. Well, he kept his hand kind of still, but it just was shaking.
Starting point is 00:15:42 It was shaking. It was shaking. Come on! By the way, if Pryor were alive, he would have loved that. Hey, look, you're white. But here's the deal. I do think we knew you back then, and I think that if this was your life, if you weren't a comic and you were a drug dealer in a mobile home,
Starting point is 00:16:06 I think you would be able to come up with this when you were 29 i like to think so okay so i'm saying what is your guess he was like always wise beyond your you to me always seemed wise really yeah even though you're just a few years older than us i was like yeah i don't know fitzy always like you had the house and you know out in in santa monica or you had the Monica. You always were a few steps ahead and had it together. I think of you as more together than this guy, than Parrish. Well, that's nice. Well, I think part of that is because I had quit drinking. So everybody thought that I had my shit together more.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Which I guess I did because you guys were drinking. Because you quit drinking. Yeah. You knew what to do. All right. How old is this guy? Wait. Grad school.
Starting point is 00:16:42 College gets you out at 22. Grad school is what, two more years? Three or three. And then he probably took a year off after high school to go to Europe
Starting point is 00:16:51 and backpack, find himself a little bit. Yep. So, wait, and if he went to, if he went to a prep school that had a postgraduate year,
Starting point is 00:17:00 maybe he was playing ice hockey. Yep, yep. That brings him out into the street at 25. I'm going to say 25. 25 years old. 25, 29. What'd you say? 30? I said 39. And he could be 60, just to be honest. William Parrish
Starting point is 00:17:14 Jr., get your answers in now, Townies. Is 32 years old. Oh! Thank you. Mackenzie Dobbs? Let's guess her age. You want to?
Starting point is 00:17:27 Yeah, why not? You want to go first, Tigger, third, Greg Fitzsimmons? The woman. The woman he's with. I'm going to go third. Okay, go third, Jay. She's 29. 29 years old for Jason's floor.
Starting point is 00:17:36 I'm going to go back to my 29. She's younger. I'm going to say she's 35. 35. I'm going to say she kind of wears the pants in the family. The cougars? Yeah. He looked up to her.
Starting point is 00:17:45 He bagged an older gal. She was a senior when he was a freshman, and she constantly reminds him of that. Okay. All right, I'm going to say she got out of high school at 18. Peace Corps is, I think, a minimum commitment of two and a half years. That gets her out. And then Cosmo Magazine has an internship program for a year and a half. That brings her to 24
Starting point is 00:18:08 years old. Okay. Mackenzie Dobbs, the accomplice in this business that they started together when we were in Paris, Jr., is, get your answers in now, Townies, because Mackenzie Dobbs is
Starting point is 00:18:22 20 years old. Oh! That's tough. He's 12 years her senior. You take away that internship and that peace corps. He definitely knew her when she was 8 and he was 20. I can't think about that. Thereby making it so horrible that he's now with her.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Well, maybe she started in the Winnebago as an apprentice. Right. This is her internship. Yeah. It was her internship. She's getting two college credits for this. 18 to 20, she went on. That's story number one.

How is that to go back to the scene of kind of, not where it began for you, but where things really picked up for you?
Starting point is 00:22:53 It's so amazing. Do you just go and you just love it? You're like, see you later, family. I'm just doing my thing. Well, you know, I come back most weekends. I fly back most weekends. And then the family flew out for two different weeks. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:23:04 But then when I was in New York, it's just going to the comedy cellar and doing spots. It doesn't get any better than that. That's amazing. You're loving it. And you're amidst this new scene of people. But there's still like the Atels are around. Yeah, but it's true. There's a lot of great new young comics that I got to know there.
Starting point is 00:23:21 that I got to know there. And, you know, just hanging with Attell and DePaulo and Quinn. It's great. You know, some black people too. Oh, okay. Hey. Michael Che.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Yeah. I love that you said him outside of the group of black people. Michael Che. No, he was thinking. I was thinking. He was thinking of black people too. It took him a minute.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Well, there was Keith Robinson. I've heard of him a lot. Know him well. And then Mariana, the black girl. That's her stage name. I don't want to do this where we're just, you're thinking of black comedians that you've hung out with. This feels like a bad road to go down.
Starting point is 00:23:58 But how fun was it to work on this project with Judd? What was his interaction in the thing? Well, Judd comes in and just basically you do a bunch of work, and then Judd comes in and tells you what you did right and what you did wrong. Really? And he's always right. He's always right. He just pulls apart story, and he goes,
Starting point is 00:24:21 this wouldn't happen because people don't behave like that. Great. He's all about human behavior. Yep, right. And instincts and emotions and what's the arc, not just of the episode, but he really has always got an eye on the whole season. Because he knows that when people watch shows now, they'll watch the season in five, six nights. That's right. So it really is crucial that one runs into the other and that there's an arc over the
Starting point is 00:24:47 whole season. Yeah. And the last scene in one episode, you're like, all right, I got to watch this next one. I got to get right into this and that there's something pulling you to the next thing. Yeah, because you don't have that. Since it's HBO, we don't have commercial breaks. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Which is such a relief because, you know, with traditional sitcoms- You'd have to hide things at a certain point. Right. For no reason. Or just for the reason of trying to keep them through three minutes. Of commercials. Of soap commercials. But you're still doing the podcast?
Starting point is 00:25:14 Still doing the podcast and then out on the road doing a bunch of stuff. Phenomenal stand-up comedian. Someone who we've known and loved for years and years and years and just always been close with. Ever since your show, Idiot Savants and Apartment 2F were on the same... That's right. In the same block of programming. Although yours was a daily show.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Yours was so much harder to pull off because there were so many more of them. Hilarious game show on MTV in 1996. With your sidekick, our buddy and fan favorite on this show, Matt Price. Matt Price, the brain. The brain. Eric Friedman writing on that show. Dugan on that show. Jason Nash.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Jason Nash wrote on that show. Yeah. And a black guy. Okay, come on. Stop it. I'm coming up at the Mohegan Sun October 5th. Give your Twitter handle, too, so that people can go right back to you. At Greg Fitz Show.
Starting point is 00:26:00 There you go. All right. Where are you? Mohegan Sun. Mohegan Sun, October 5th. I don't know. Where's that? It's in Connecticut. Great. Nice. show. Mohegan Sun. October 5th and 6th. Where's that? It's in Connecticut. Nice. Niagara Falls
Starting point is 00:26:09 at the Corner Comedy Club on October 11th, 12th, and 13th. Great. Then we'll be at the Providence Comedy Connection October 19th and 20th. Very good. Back in the Northeast and then a bunch of dates coming up later in the fall in San Francisco and New Year's
Starting point is 00:26:27 Eve in Portland. Great. I love it. New Year's Eve in Portland. That's phenomenal. That'll be fun. Yes. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Smoke a little Mary Chihuahua. Yes. And then you roll. It's Oregon. All right, you guys want to do a second story? Let's do a second story. Here we go. This was sent in by Josh Mout.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I always say it wrong. I'm sorry, buddy. At J-M-O-U-A-T. Mout. Mout. Mout sent in by Josh Mout. I always say it wrong. I'm sorry, buddy. At J-M-O-U-A-T. Mout. Mout. Mout. Mout. Mout.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Mout. I don't know. They make a good champagne. Henrique. Henrico. Henrico. Henrico. Henrico County, Virginia.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Okay. I thought it was, it's not Enrique and it's not Enrico. It's Henrico. Henrico? Do they grow herbs there? I don't know. Here's not Enrico. It's Henrico. Henrico? Do they grow herbs there? I don't know. Here's the first line. You can't make this stuff up.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Yes, you can. I bet you can. First of all, you can make anything up. Yeah, that is a kind of a pretty deep question on this show. Do you fact check that these are real stories? We do. There's usually a source and usually the police not that you trust the police, but they document
Starting point is 00:27:27 pretty well what's going on. If a story is crazy, Dan will verify whether it's fake or not. To our best ability. I'm just a man. Once in a while. You're a simple man. Simple boy from Rochelle, Illinois. Farming people?
Starting point is 00:27:44 We just had one sent to us about a guy crashed his car while trying to perform oral sex on himself. Great story. It was hilarious. And then I was like, what's the guy's name? Couldn't find it. Where did this happen? Couldn't find it. So then I tapped into
Starting point is 00:28:00 Google and I was like, oh, this is fake. This is an old lifestyle. If I get suspicious when it's not credited to any other news source. Although now that you've put it out there, I'm going to have a long drive home. You know what? A long and dangerous drive home. Siglert on the 405.
Starting point is 00:28:17 There's a man weaving. He's bobbing. You can't make this stuff up. Guys, you literally cannot make this stuff up. You can make make this stuff up. Guys, you literally cannot make this stuff up. You can make it up. Students and parents in a Henrico neighborhood learned some shocking news at the start of the school year. There's a pun in there. You just don't know it yet. At the corner of East Berry Street and South Wilson Way in Henrico, several students from both middle school and high school stand and wait for the bus.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I'm going to read you the headline, too. By the way, they were electrocuted by something. They tried to blow themselves. The home next to the bus stop has an electric fence around the yard just a few inches away from where the students wait. The home next to the thing has an electric fence like it's a women's prison. The headline for this article, by the way, is Parents Outrage After Man Installs Electric Fence Near School Bus Stop. Yeah, that should not happen at all. The headline for this article, by the way, is parents outraged after man installs electric fence near school bus stop.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah, that should not happen. Right. At all. That's a guy who just- No strip clubs, no electric fences. There you go. No pocket dispensaries. No sex in the champagne room.
Starting point is 00:29:15 None. None. The man who put the fence up did not post a sign on the fence to warn children, which prompted a call to Henrico police. This guy wanted to just see what would happen. He put that up in the middle of the night too, didn't he? This is a guy who has had it up to here with kids making noise at 7.50 in the morning. Yes. In the periods between 7.42 and 7.52, he is up to here with it.
Starting point is 00:29:41 I would argue it gets louder though once you electrocute them. Right. You're actually creating more of a problem for yourself. He was quietly electrocuted to death. That's never... He had them debarked, and then he had them electric fenced. How many kids do you think it took before they stopped doing it? Because once one does it, another one will be like,
Starting point is 00:30:03 What? This fence? You mean in one morning, how many did it? I'm just curious. How many times did guys talk about the stupidity of kids? We're like, what's that? Are guys, though, getting on their hands and knees behind another guy and then this one pushes them into the electric fence? Right.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Or maybe it's like when you have one of those bug zappers and one after another go in like, are you not watching your friends? Right. What is over here? Are they just walking and texting? Yes, walking right into it while texting. Quote, it's insane, said one resident who did not wish to share her name. I love the idea that somebody out there was like,
Starting point is 00:30:37 I'm going to say this is insane. I have a strong opinion! But I do not want recognition. You're really going out on a limb there, ma'am. Saying that a guy who put up an electric fence around a bus stop, near a bus stop. It's the unnamed source from the White House. Yeah. The corner looked more like a crime scene rather than a school bus stop on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I don't know. Someone said it was electric. I was like, whoa. It's electric. Said another concerned parent. Won't give their name? Doesn't. That's their quote.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Brian Tucker says he put the electrical fence around his yard because he grew tired of students trespassing and leaving trash on his property. I get being mad about that. You just handled it the wrong way. He assumed the fence would keep the children away. No, that is not what you assumed. You assumed you were about to shock some fucking kids. By the way, a regular fence would also keep kids. This is like
Starting point is 00:31:31 when Serena Williams, who in my opinion without a doubt 100%, we should not get mad at her for losing her shit on this umpire. She is a new parent. I was said this out in the world. There were moments when my child, my first baby was nine months old where I'd just walk into
Starting point is 00:31:48 Ralph's at like one in the morning, grocery store here and just turn to know someone who has not said one word to me and say, you owe me a fucking apology. And I've said that. So I'm saying like... Because let's be honest, she was yelling at the umpire but she was really yelling at her baby. You owe me an apology for putting... And you know
Starting point is 00:32:03 how strong Serena is. She could have shaken the hell out of that baby. Right, exactly. So let's be glad that she put it on the umpire and not on an infant. My point is, you're right. The umpire is kind of being a dick to you, and stop right there. Don't say that this is a sexist thing. Don't put up an electric fence. Don't make it into, she put up an electric fence when a regular fence would have done the trick.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Well, which was more effort, Building a high voltage metal fence or picking up some Dorito wrappers? Exactly. Which is more expensive. This is what Tucker said. I'm not in charge of other people's children. That has nothing to do with whether or not you put a fence up. What about the other neighbor who's like, uh,
Starting point is 00:32:39 I beg to differ, sir. I'm not directing other people's children what to do. All I can do is protect myself and that's why I've got a fence up. Protect myself. I'm not directing other people's children what to do. All I can do is protect myself and that's why I've got a fence up. Protect myself. I know, so that doesn't really sound like a yard issue. That sounds like a fear issue. And you're afraid of kids. That's right. I'm going to show you guys what
Starting point is 00:32:55 Brian Tucker looks like. Is he... Let me guess. He looks exactly like the guy who would put up an electric fence around him. Salt and pepper goatee, 80 pounds overweight. He looks like a Kyle Dunnigan character. I was going to say. Look at this guy. Shades on.
Starting point is 00:33:12 That looks like an onion headline. Doesn't it? Look at. He seems like the kind of guy that would rally for kids to have guns. He also seems like the type of guy that will constantly tell you
Starting point is 00:33:28 when showing you stuff that he owns that it's military grade. Oh, 100%. 100%. I'm guessing that when the crowd chants build that wall, he's in there with them. Oh, yeah. He's starting the chant.
Starting point is 00:33:40 This picture will also be on Facebook. He's like, can we electrify the wall as well? Electrify that wall! Electrify that wall! Electrify that wall! He seems to be like a guy who got his greatest life lessons from his uncle. Yes. Dad wasn't around. Dad was around, like in the same town, but not around.
Starting point is 00:33:59 So uncle taught him a few things about life. See that beer koozie? Military grade. How can that? You know, I got a star things about life. See that beer koozie? Military grade. How can that? You know I got a star named after me? Uncle Brian, is that true? Military grade. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:13 And then I was probed. Tell you that probe. Military grade. Neighbors thought the fence was extreme and felt compelled to call the police. Enrico police called Public Works, hoping to figure out whether or not the fence encroached on a county easement. See, now we're going to get into the, hey, this should be back. You have it back four feet, three inches.
Starting point is 00:34:36 It should be back four feet, nine inches. At which point you can hear- 120 volts. It's supposed to be 90 volts. You can hear Tucker yelling, show me what's the truth. You know everybody's just giving me different words. Show me
Starting point is 00:34:50 what's the truth. That should be a t-shirt for this. If I'm the town, I'm like, leave the fence up just to keep him in. Show me what's the truth. Everybody's just giving me different words. That is... Show me what is the truth
Starting point is 00:35:06 Tucker does not This story takes place over the course of a day This is early in the day Tucker does not plan to give in Claiming no trespassing signs Do little To deter children From staying away from his yard
Starting point is 00:35:22 It says no trespassing for any purpose, says Tucker. Strictly forbidden. Violators will be prosecuted. Parents were outraged after hearing the news and that's when they called police. Wayne Milby says, what, you don't like kids? Me, I'm a parent and I don't want any children
Starting point is 00:35:40 to get electrocuted. Taking a hard stance. Wayne Milby, taking a hard stance. I would also say, yeah, it seems like Tucker does not like kids. I would say so. Another parent said that's a little too extreme. I mean, you're gonna let those kids get electrocuted? That's not cool.
Starting point is 00:35:56 He wants them to electrocute themselves. I think the paper is dumb for putting these quotes in. Literally, we only needed one of those, where someone came out against the electric fence electrocuting kids. Yeah, because they have to know that people from outside, what's the name of the town?
Starting point is 00:36:13 Henrico? Henrico. Outside of Henrico are going to read this, and they shouldn't get such a slice of Henrico. Yeah, of Henrico. James Mayfield. The Henrico Balaizo. The less you know about Henrico, the better.
Starting point is 00:36:25 James Mayfield owns two houses in the neighborhood and said he felt. You know, he was like, make sure you mention that I own two houses. James Mayfield of the neighborhood. Well, let me be clear. I do have two houses. I have my weekend house in East San Rico over by the Crick. The Crick. It's waterfront. He's like, let me give you my address. Now, which
Starting point is 00:36:49 one should I use? Because there are two houses in this neighborhood. You might want to put that down. You don't have to listen to me. I'm just a two-house owner. Just a man with a few houses. But you don't have to listen. You want to put me in the paper, put me in the paper. Go ahead and collect all your quotes from people who own just one house in this neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I'm going to tell it to you straight. If I want to get a copy of this paper, which address should I give you? I do own more than one. Now, are you familiar with the board game Monopoly? I'm passing go all day. I'm about to put a hotel on top of my second residence. James, my food. Now let me just get into my thumb.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Here's a question for Monopoly real quick. Is there a way, just saying, that Monopoly updates with the time, can you turn one of your houses into an Airbnb? Yes! And then you're skipping the whole hotel thing and you're generating even more income. You're generating money, but you can pull a card that's like, we didn't do a background check and one of the people we allowed to be in the house is a pedophile. You go into prison. Then you go to jail or you get into a shitty Uber and it takes you to Connecticut Avenue or Baltic in a bad neighborhood because it didn't have the right... Bad.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Millennial Monopoly. Millennial Monopoly. Well, James Mifud, the owner of multiple houses in the neighborhood, said he felt a, quote, slight shock when he touched the fence. Have any of you ever touched an electric fence? No, and I will never. Have you touched it? It's nothing.
Starting point is 00:38:13 It's not. You're not going to like. It keeps animals being like, whoa, and then they just turn around and walk back the other way. It's like you touch something that buzzes you real quick, right? Yes. It's like a buzz. I mean, you can ratchet it up if you want to, but most of them don't even have that ability. I wouldn't throw water on it.
Starting point is 00:38:27 My wife has an electric fence stick in her nightstand. It's just, it doesn't hurt, but it definitely... Gets you aroused. Yeah, your rectum feels... Your rectum feels... It's more of a pleasant... Alive. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And like the electric fence here, it keeps the kids away. I like that you... Let's not skip over that you called it an electric fence stick. That needs to be noted. It should be an electric fence wand. We'll get into that later. So he said he has a slight shock when he touched the fence.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Quote, I understand his concern. I just don't think he understood the neighbor's concern about their kids. One of them could touch it and get shocked. Yeah, he got it. He understands that. I think He got, he wanted it. He understands that. I think he's very clear on it. The fence,
Starting point is 00:39:09 this is the one nod I give to Tucker. The fence was connected to a solar power battery and was a foot away. I love him. He's giving me clean energy.
Starting point is 00:39:17 It's renewable energy. Clean energy from Tucker. You want to blame me? Not my feelings right now. Blame the sun. On his corner lot. Enrico determined that the fence was on an easement,
Starting point is 00:39:30 which makes it illegal. So Tucker, who said he would not back down, took the fence down on Tuesday afternoon, only hours after he put it up. No retreat, no surrender, unless it's on an easement. Then we've got to back it up. County officials, no surrender, unless it's on an easement. Then we gotta back it up. County officials told CNN that Tucker could put the fence
Starting point is 00:39:49 back up as long as his property line, which is 18 feet back from the street. Wow. Tucker said he hopes he doesn't need to do that. The message has gotten out, and I'm pretty sure to everybody, he said, the point's gotten across. Okay. First of all,
Starting point is 00:40:05 he didn't need to put the electric fence in through the middle of the sidewalk. No. Walk it back, bro. Right. Walk it back. You were gonna get dinged. He put it on the edge. You were gonna get dinged for that. But that is, it's like I got into an argument with my daughter. She like wanted an app on her
Starting point is 00:40:21 phone and I was like, you know, just worry about, it's to take you two things. One, it's going to take you away from doing your homework. And two, it's going to take you away from – you're going to now be on your phone doing just focus on your phone and you won't be hanging out with other people. And she's like, oh, so you don't want me to have a phone? I was like, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:40:42 You've gone so – you put the fucking fence on the easement. Get it back to what we're talking about here. Put it around the app. And so this guy is like, I'll just put an electric fence up. I know it's going to come down, but I'm making a point. So he doesn't give a shit. He's like a lawyer in court saying something that they know is going to be struck. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Strike it. But I just put it out there. Hey, I made my point. that they know is going to be struck. Right. Strike it. But I just put it out there. Hey. I think I heard it.
Starting point is 00:41:05 The other thing I might point out is this fence is not going to deter them on all days. It's solar. On a cloudy day, they're all over that property. They're getting in. Dropping Dorito wrappers. Dropping Dorito wrappers through the- Eight-hour energy drinks spewed all over the cloudy lawn. We'll get out of here.
Starting point is 00:41:25 This is my favorite picture. It's Brian Tucker. Taking down the fence. Yeah, just walking around with his rolled-up electric fence. God, he's wearing boots, military grade. And honestly, I can't tell if in his pocket there's a gun. Or a clip-on phone, like a sidekick cell phone. A Nokia Pebble phone phone clip to his belt.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Or one of those like Craftman tools that can do everything. And I don't know which is worst. Backup plan will be what? There isn't one. There isn't one. He's open. He made his point. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:55 That's story two, guys. Look, to me, here's what I'm going to say. If you hate, hate, hate, hate the kids at that hour doing it, you don't need to put up an electric fence. You start sprinkling watering your lawn. Yeah, that's right. Every morning at 745. Very simple.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Turn the sprinklers on. No kid's going to stand in the water on the way to school. You water your lawn for 15 minutes when they're waiting for the bus. Done. Done! Very smart. Very smart. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Jay, get it out to them. Talk to me first. There you go. All right, there you go. That's two stories down in the books. Dan, can you give us a little tease of what we're going to see in story three? It is the story of probably one of the
Starting point is 00:42:31 worst what would you say? Robbers? Thieves? Burglars? We've ever had. Worst or dumbest? He's just bad. He's bad at burgling. So you're bad at burgling. Stick around. More Dumb People Town. Greg Fitzsimmons, right?
Starting point is 00:42:48 Stick around. Make it sound for more Dumb People Town. Hey guys, welcome back to Dumb People Town. Dan, show's coming up.

And then the 9th of November, I will be in LA doing the Together Tour at the Dynasty Type Rider Theater. Go to danielvankirk.com to check out all of the dates for the second leg
Starting point is 00:43:26 of my Together Tour. I love that the site is up and running. And check our site, Superschoolers.com. We have a bunch of dates. A couple weeks, we're in Denver.
Starting point is 00:43:32 We're in Boulder on a Wednesday night. Then we're in Denver at Comedy Works. Wow. Love that club. And then a few weeks after that, we're going to be
Starting point is 00:43:38 at the All Things Comedy Comedy Festival doing this podcast live. In Phoenix and Tempe. And we're going to be at the Tempe Improv on Friday night. And then we're in Austin, Texas at Cap City, which is just one of the best clubs in the
Starting point is 00:43:49 country. November 7th through the 10th. It's a good run. It's a good run. It's a good run. It's not Niagara Falls, but it's a good run. It's not Niagara Falls. Well, look.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Can I mention one other quick thing? Yes. I'm launching a new podcast. You know Alison Rosen. Love her. She's your best friend. We have a new podcast called Childish that launches next week. Love it.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Great. And it's me instructing her. She's got a young child. I have teenagers, and I'm sharing with her how to raise children. I love that idea. That is a great, haven't heard it before. Is there a network it's attached to, or are you guys independent? We're indie, baby.
Starting point is 00:44:19 All right. Check that out. That will be hilarious. We've had her on this show when she was promoting her book. She is wonderful. Yeah, she's great. You guys had her on the show when she was promoting her book. She is wonderful. You guys loved her. You fans of this show loved her. I'm sure you love Fitz Dogg, so it's a wonderful match made in heaven.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Check that out. Childish. It's coming out. It'll be out by the time I get this dropped. I think so. Beautiful. Love it. Check it out.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Are you ready? Let's do it. Sent in by Josh Mowat. Again. I don't know. He's a twofer today. Double dip, man. At J-M-O-U-A-T.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Thanks, buddy. He hashtagged Dumb People Town at Daniel Van Kirk on Twitter. That's the way to do it. And that's how it works. On Sunday, a man wearing a red ball cap. Fred Durst. Cardinals fan? A man wearing a red ball cap to me sounds like Stanley Tucci in a movie.
Starting point is 00:45:04 You know what I mean? Yeah. No, I get that. He's an evil guy. He's wearing a red ball cap. Is sounds like Stanley Tucci in a movie. You know what I mean? Yeah, no, I get that. He's an evil guy. He's wearing a red ball cap. Is there a team attached to it? No, we couldn't get it clear. There's about to be. Sounds like a blood.
Starting point is 00:45:13 He's wearing a red ball cap, sunglasses, and a Denver Broncos sweatshirt. Okay. Clashing red and orange together. Yeah, it's terrible. Does not look good. Repeatedly walked back and forth in front of the store. Yeah, they're terrible. They do not look good.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Repeatedly walked back and forth in front of the store. Apparently, it took several passes to confirm the female store clerk was alone. That's one thing. If you're going to go commit a crime somewhere, make sure you get easily identified as having hung around the business before you commit it. Immediately. That's why most burglars invest in binoculars. Most burglars are always, in every movie you see them, they're not wearing a black ski mask and a turtleneck.
Starting point is 00:45:52 They're wearing a red hat and a professional sports logo. You want logos. That's one thing you want when you're committing a crime. Identifiable logos. Which is more embarrassing for the Broncos, this guy or drafting Paxton Lynch? Most specific sports reference ever. Both guys were released. But it all started to go wrong for this attempted robber
Starting point is 00:46:09 when he tried to pull out a gun from the waistband of his loose black pants. Tried to pull it out. As he did so, his gloved hand lost its grip and the gun went flying over the counter. You've already lost. Is this a Jerry Lewis like bit? What's the Jerry Lewis movie that we...
Starting point is 00:46:32 Cracking Up. Cracking Up. Are you familiar with it? Not familiar with it. It is just sketches. He's older. So it's probably like 80 or 79. Tell me what year it came out.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I want to say 81 or 82. There is a sketch where he shows up to his old school therapist's office. And the entire sketch is this. Everything in the office, including the floor, is super slippery. And he can't. I got it for you, brother. 83? 83.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Filmed in 82. It was an 83 comedy. So he was doing physical comedy in his late 50s. Late 50s, 60s maybe. 60-ish. Yeah. And there was a whole thing where he couldn't walk across the floor. It was so slippery.
Starting point is 00:47:15 And he sat on the couch and he slid off. And he couldn't open the candies. It is like the most schmaltziest, Jerry Lewis-iest thing ever. Like this little bit of a gun flying out of the pants would totally happen. Yeah, that's great. Totally happen. And there was a bank robbery sketch in that movie. And then there was an old, what is it?
Starting point is 00:47:34 There was an old like French Revolution sketch. Where he's trying to leave a prison and put a dummy in like a prison cell so that he can leave out of it. And he turns to the camera and breaks the fourth wall. And what does he say? I forgot. No, there's a light that comes on him and he's like, and then he turns to the camera and is like, where I get Japanese from?
Starting point is 00:47:55 I have no idea. Breaks the fourth wall, French Revolution. Where I get Japanese from? And someone was like leaving it. That's great. Well, what was the Woody Allen movie where he escapes from jail using a piece of soap that he used shoe polish on to look like a gun? Was that Take the Money and Run?
Starting point is 00:48:14 Yeah, Take the Money and Run. Well, this gun went flying over the counter in quotes from the Aurora Police Department from their post on Facebook. And it was all caught on security surveillance video at the e-cig of Denver's store in Colorado. But it didn't stop there. After the would-be robber fumbled the gun, and it went flying over the... So he is being very true to the Denver Broncos. He fumbled the gun.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Yes. Fumbling the gun. Fumbling the gun. And right after the video captured his mouth opening, he tried to jump over the counter and grab his gun. Yeah. Let me get that back and try that again. But he could not get over the waist
Starting point is 00:48:48 high counter, so then he gets like, It is a Jerry Lewis sketch! As he was struggling, the employee then picked up the gun and held it like a club, like was holding the barrel of the gun. You know, the way a gun should be used. When the man saw the employee with his gun step up to the counter,
Starting point is 00:49:06 he turned around and started running towards the door. His pants definitely fell down. That's when his loose pants truly became a problem for the man who was also wearing white sunglasses, which might be the biggest offense. He ran out to his cabriolet
Starting point is 00:49:24 convertible. Was he shooting a Beastie Boys video? What is happening right now? Listen all y'all, this is happening As he kicked the glass door open His black pants fell to his knees And just before the glass door closes behind him He kind of loses his pants And is forced to pull them back up
Starting point is 00:49:41 Before running through the parking lot Public information officer Kenneth Forrest told the Wichita Eagle, the man got away, but not without a new nickname. Forrest. He got away? Called the man the department's bumbling bandit. Not a great nickname. No, that's not good.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Bumbling bandit. I don't want to downplay the seriousness of an armed robbery, but the guy really does belong in the world's dumbest criminals. Chris Burgess, the owner of the store, told the Denver Post he needs to find a new career or practice. Also, you're robbing a vape store. It's all hipsters. They don't use cash.
Starting point is 00:50:19 True. There's no cash in the till. He tried to rob his Venmo account. The cunt, actually a BB gun with the orange tip removed, made to look like a replica handgun, was left at the store. Yeah, no shit. He couldn't even hold on to it. The police are hoping to get fingerprints from it, Forrest told the Eagle. I'm going to post this to the Dumb People Tom page.
Starting point is 00:50:40 If you know this guy. You guys are now going to get to watch this guy. Oh, great. The best is that the cashier tried to beat the guy with a plastic toy gun and the guy ran from it. I know. Alright, ready? This is just a plan. Okay, so here he is.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Denver Bronco. Oh, he dropped it. I can't get over it. He runs out. Oh, pants go down. Pants go down. He tries to do a cool door kick open. There's another angle from it. Oh, pants go down. Pants go down. He tries to do a cool door kick open. There's another angle from it. Oh, he dropped it. Can he get over it?
Starting point is 00:51:08 She freaks out. She picks it up. She picks it up. Holds it like a... Oh, look at that poor girl. Oh, my God. She's like, ah! She handles it.
Starting point is 00:51:14 She handles it. She handles it. And he just kicks... By the way... I don't know if this video version of it keeps going. Yeah, it doesn't. So after he leaves, she just walks over, comes around the corner, locks the fucking door, walks back over, and just gets on the phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:28 That's his moron. She's like Monday. And hopefully part of me is hoping she held it like a club because she was like, that's not even a real gun. No. She knew right away. This will do more damage if I hit it with you this way. Blunt object style will do more damage than this plastic gun.
Starting point is 00:51:42 That is what the guy himself is. So I cannot wait to post this to the Facebook page. He's a bumbling burglar with a blunt object. Trust me, Townies.
