After this one, you'll have it in your own, like, memento style.
You'll get to hear the story.
So people started posting about Jan Flato on the Facebook.
People were like, definitely owns a ferret.
Yes.
Nick Colucci said Jan Flato plays a mean saxophone.
Uh-huh.
Yes.
I like the person, Christina was like like looks like l ron hubbard

a shark tooth yeah jan when someone says i'm wearing a members only jacket jan flotto is one
of the members i want you to know that well you, you guys, at 9.18 a.m.,
the day this was posted,
someone very special chimed in.
Who would that be, Dan?
Jan Flato.
No!
Jan Flato wrote,
I know none of you are interested in the truth.
He comes in hot.
All right, so if someone comes at you hot like that,
what do you do, guy?
Like, do you try and temper
him down well you've also just lost a hundred grace myself just let it blow over me i've seen
you in the roast battle one of the greatest roast battles i've ever seen was you and sarah tiana
um i have seen you battle it out she beat me but my goal is to not care my goal is to just
you know what let the chill wind embrace those are the
words that jan flato says every day let the chill wind embrace you beat me he said i know you're
the truth i'm going to summarize it was all my money she lied she said i went ballistic another
lie then he starts saying i've challenged her to lie detector test she hasn't responded this is on
our facebook page this is on our group.
He thinks we're the court of public opinion.
We're on your side, Jan Flotto.
He didn't get mad until after she left.
Wouldn't you?
She's been living off me for two years.
This is the words of Jan Flotto.
We are not legally bound to any of the things that Jan Flotto says.
I wrote back, I believe you, Jan.
Dan, you're just trying to
give him a hug with the comment.
He then chimes in a couple more
times. Kenny Doherty
says Jan Flotto owns an assortment
of feather roach clips that he
won at a county fair in the 1980s.
To which I responded, if he wins
one more, he can trade them in for a large Bon Jovi
Coke mirror. It's all good
carnival mirrors. It's an easy top mirror for us because we're a little older yeah okay jan flotto then gets into the
crap he's dealing with this woman oh no again says he ends that comment with the words lie
detector test i want them she doesn't very presidential he kind of has a presidential
cadence about him or he's like he's like he's
like steven are you guys ready for this lie detector test you got it here's his last comment
i can't wait may 6th 6 19 p.m dinner time or early buffet dinner at the casino and to the twins of DPT, Dan Fuato says, don't make me get a voodoo doll of the St. Louis Cardinals and stick evil pins in it.
I love them.
You wouldn't like that, would you?
I love them.
Then he pulls back.
Actually, I'm a huge Yadier Molina fan.
Best defensive catcher I've ever seen, including Johnny Bench.
Molina belongs in the hall.
First ballot.
Five years after he's retired.
Watch out.
Voodoo doll.
Flotto out.
I made up the flotto out, but I feel like he dropped his Facebook mic.
I love that he is now part.
This is like when the world that we are talking about actually bust through into the actual
world and the two unite.
This is what happens.
It's the thing you never get because it's always
that man in Florida fucked a bench
and he's never
a person.
This guy is a person who is
now real and in our Facebook page.
So if you haven't checked out the Facebook page
or joined, get into it.
You can get into it with Jan Flyer.
Now you can get your questions answered.
Did you briefly road manage Warrant?
Probably.
But now we can find out.
Well, that's it.
I mean, this could become like sort of like a DIY AMA Reddit for Jan Flato.
By the way, I would love it if this became, like if people we talked about in the stories
suddenly came to on the page.
I'd be careful what you ask for.
They're not all Yachty Air fans.
Well, right.
But the guy who tried to give the woman's kid a circumcision unofficially,
that guy joins.
That mom should join in to defend herself for listening to that
conversation way too long.
Well, we have stories do you
have stories dan you know what i didn't do any thanks for watching all right we'll get to him
but i we'll get to the first one right here i but i want to say to everybody thank you for doing that

know what he takes the problem away from us that's right caleb no need to that eb this guy
this dumb person you'll find out police say that when i'm that when a man accused of robbing an
evansville bank monday, tried to communicate his demands.
The teller didn't even notice his note.
You are a low-level banker.
He's trying.
I just think that people are still trying to rob banks.
With a note.
Is that a thing?
They saw Heller High Water.
I just feel like,
can't you do all of this from a laptop now?
Right?
When's the last time you were inside of a bank?
I go all
the time do you really yeah and i refuse to use their like super automated atms and i tell the
person they have a person like you know you can do everything there i'm like you know that's taking
away your job right you don't i like it's the rochelle kidding me i love going up to the bank
well guy you grew up in wisconsin no i'm here yeah north california so like the thing is is
when you go into a bank
now like there's all of this thick glass and all of these things to deal with situations like that
and i just missed like a like nice breezy california open floor plan bank yeah you know
where there's like ladies sitting around waiting to help your small business yes you want that
then always asking if you'd like to start that savings account
yeah here's a lollipop have a cooler yeah you like the idea of like every transaction you make
should come with an ice bucket yes yes well this guy tried to rob a bank and they he couldn't
communicate his demands and they didn't even notice his note yeah that's like a scene to take the money and run
where he's like i have a gut what is a gub he's like no no a gun yeah it's his gun or this person
like watched heat and it was like that's easy enough he got so how did they figure out that
he was trying to rob the bank according to the probable cause affidavit the employee couldn't
read his note after the man brought it to her attention and that was just the start of the
bungled robbery at the united fidelityidelity Bank on North Joseph Street Avenue.
Again, add that to the Dumb People Town walking tour.
Add that to the Dumb People Town walking tour, guys.
The police believe it was carried out by John W. Hegwood.
That's a good name.
Hedgewood?
Hegwood.
It sounds like a Harry Potter character.
Hegwood.
Hegwood.
That's the house he's in.
Hegwood.
Not Slytherin. No. Not Gryffindor. Hegwood House Hegwood. That's the house he's in. Hegwood. Not Slytherin.
No.
Not Gryffindor.
Hegwood House.
It's from that American wizarding school, right?
Yes.
Yes.
Way less powerful.
Like, if you're going to be a criminal, nice, clear printing.
Yes.
If you have nice, clear printing, take some draftsman courses.
Yes.
Or put out the letters from a magazine.
Yes.
Yes.
That makes it even crazier.
Type it up.
Type it up. Type it up.
The incident was reported about 2.15 p.m.
According to the updated,
a teller told police that before demanding the money,
the man asked about opening an account.
Okay, you've already started too many things going on.
Now you're drawing yourself into a whole bunch of business.
Because you thought, I just want to open an account.
They're like, checking your savings.
We want it to be a money market. can let me get your social security let me see
your id i can fill this out for you hun while she was talking and through the process you guys nailed
that the suspect tried writing a note on the back of an envelope that said give me all your money so
he didn't even have the note ready he wrote it on one of their deposit envelopes however the clerk didn't see it and hegwood had to tell her to look down imagine this conversation how much do you want to open up
the cone look down i don't know what you're saying i don't know but how much do you want
over the asking you how much do you want to start with and then just look down for that i i i don't
know what that has to do with but do you want to say no you won't ever have to look down or back
again just look forward okay i don't know who you are or why you've interrupted us, but I'm trying to tell this
teller to look down.
Sir, I'm just trying to help out over here.
Yeah.
No.
This is my manager.
Have you met my manager?
Can we get two more coolers out here?
No, don't look back in a way.
Look down.
We have two coolers.
Guys, look down.
Look down at what?
We never look down our noses at anyone that comes in this bank.
We're happy to help you today.
However, the clerk didn't see it. He told her to look down our noses at anyone that comes in this bank. We're happy to help you today. However, the clerk didn't see it.
He told her to look down repeatedly.
He finally told her that he had a gun and that he needed, quote, all of the money if you please.
You can't go that hard.
Yeah.
If you please.
If you please.
No, thank you.
Somebody was like, you just be real nice about it.
They'll give you whatever you want.
I just love the idea of how much money can this teller possibly have in her tail right like you've
decided you're did he have a gun is this armed robbery saying he had a gun saying he had a gun
okay so that's like seven to ten years of your life that you're exchanging yeah you've now crossed
maybe 10 grand maybe i mean steal a lexus i also. I also hope this Vera Bradley-owning teller,
I'm assuming she's everybody's mom,
looked at him and was like,
why would I give you the money if you want to open an account?
Right, she doesn't get it.
She doesn't get it all the way through.
I'm sorry, do you want a loan?
She doesn't understand what he wants.
Because you said you wanted to open an account.
Now you're asking for money.
The loan office is over there.
Like, for real,
wouldn't it be easier to just take out a loan and then not pay it back just disappear
yeah but fake collateral i guess that's how the bush years worked right i love it 2000 to 2000
another teller another teller so you were right someone reportedly gave the man the money some
guy named rick walked over he's like just he wants money donna give it to him the money what i don't
know down reportedly gave the man money and then. Just give him the money. What? I don't know. Look down.
Reportedly gave the man money.
And then the suspect walked out the door and headed down Michigan Street.
There's no indication in the affidavit that a weapon was ever shown during the incident.
But you're right.
You're going to get ringed up just for saying you have it. You've threatened.
Threatened with a weapon.
That's aggravated assault.
And, Guy, you know the law.
I do.
I went to law school.
I can't believe you went to law school.
In Minnesota, right?
Yeah.
How was that changing your life? Jay and I got into law school. I can't believe you went to law school. In Minnesota, right? Yes. How was that changing your life?
Jay and I got into law school, but never went.
You guys did?
We got into law school.
We got accepted to different law schools, but we never went.
You went.
I mean, you could have wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars before you went into
this terrible career.
I mean, are you still paying it off?
Yes, I am.
Please, dear God, no.
Yes.
It's horrible.
University of Minnesota?
Yes.
Golden Goats.
Nice and useless, but it does mean the minute
you bring up that uh weapon you've got um you know that that's it's a worse crime
i think you would have been a crazy criminal was that what you were studying to be
no no you don't like specialize in law school so i would just like took things that i found
were fun because after my first year i was like i'm not doing this were you doing stand-up at the
time or no no no well you were funny it like took not really i was mostly just sweaty and angry
i was like done with law school and i was like all right i need to do something else
and then i came and i found your world yeah that's awesome uh i love this next sentence
consider what led to hegwood's quick arrest
as though this quickly turns worse a bank surveillance camera captured multiple clear
close-up shots showing the suspect's face that were released by police an hour after the incident
i'm going to show you guys the picture of this guy from the bank not even caring look at him just
yeah let me see what's the worst that's gonna happen goatee am i right i i mean that
i should have assumed that goatee from everything that we have learned you're right you're right
you're like you're like a guy from the band smash mouth i mean that's what he looks like
but he's wearing a sweatshirt that goatee knows all the lincoln park songs wouldn't you wear
sunglasses is this situation more okay if he received blunt head trauma in 1996 and then was just in a coma for a good 20 years and then woke up was like bank robbing?
That's my job.
I think you if you were a lawyer.
Now, this is the lawyer and you're talking.
You're trying to build the case for why he did not mentally stable.
Right.
Right.
Blunt force trauma in the head.
Didn't understand that we have cameras everywhere
now everywhere yeah he didn't know in 96 there probably weren't any cameras the last movie
watched before he went under was tombstone and he thought anything is possible what if the last
movie you watched was regarding henry oh isn't that the one where the guy got shot in the head
we're better now it was hopefully it was tank girl those images broadcast by news outlets and
plastered on social media sites led to tips
from people who know hegwood you know there are people that are like i'm calling right now they
couldn't call fast enough on him wonderful john john dub j dub j dub's going down he's going down
uh tips for people who knew him identifying the suspect the information gathered by police
from those tips quickly led investigators to his home there others also identified headwig as the man
they were like waiting out in front of his house being like he's in there this should be the next
james cameron mitchell musical here's what i love here's what i love one person outside his home
even told police that she believed headwood was wearing her coat inside the bank.
Guys, that was his disguise.
A woman's coat.
I didn't see that.
He is allowed to wear whatever clothes he wants, but if it was part of a disguise, then
it was the wrong choice.
He's trying to make me an accessory by wearing one of my accessories.
Is that it?
Is that it?
You can't be an accessory.
You can't.
If your clothes are at a robbery.
Right. This is a question for you. I need legal advice,'re close if you're closer at a robbery right this is
a question for you i need legal advice guy if you're closer at a robbery are you part of it
no like you'd have to prove collusion right yeah she was part of it you have to prove that you
oh it could be evidence of conspiracy though yeah she was helping him out where my coat where my
coat and then give me some of the money i do hope that he does more time for stealing a light jacket than he does for robbing the bank.
That would be so good.
And specifically that light jacket.
That is an abhorrence.
Hegwood, who was not at home when police arrived, this is the saddest part of the story to me,
was found walking in the area.
Because you know, guys, he robbed a bank and his getaway was his own two feet.
Yeah, he's just walking around. Just walking around. With around with all the money yeah but now i'm worried about what happened
to him in the 90s i feel like we could like guys put this into my head that it's like maybe it's
a flight of the navigator situation he just came out of that ditch and went straight to the bank
yeah do you remember that movie flight of the navigator of course i remember that movie do you
guys i don't i don't remember that movie like you got a guy he's like 12 years
old spaceship comes down says i need someone to fly me he goes and has a really adventuresome
afternoon you made that so sexual yeah uh it's like sarah jessica parker's in it a very young
sarah jessica parker he goes into a ditch and comes out eight years later and all of a sudden
his little brother's his big brother what What? And Reagan's the president.
You don't remember this at all? No, but now I need
to see it. Now I need
to see it. Flight of the Navigator? Yes.
Okay. Not Flight of the Concords.
It's a different show. To give you more of an idea
of how the other citizens of Dumb People
Town felt about John W. Hegwood,
as he's walking around the area,
someone spotted him and called 911.
Everyone is out to get
john everyone's like world is conspiring against him during as he walks down the street and people
are like working on their cars or working on their eye like waiting for you to fuck up
yeah just wait give me a reason he's the opposite of a catch me if you can right he's like even when
he isn't committing crimes people are like that guy him he's it i bet he did something yeah just get him
yeah everything is the opposite like instead of passing the bar he learned how to hang from a bar
like do a pull-up from a bar he like rode in a plane once without any training instead of flying
one everything's the opposite everything's like tangential do you think when the cop showed up
after like he got the money but it was with a lot of failures. He's on camera.
He's wearing a woman's jacket that he stole.
The stole part is what I'm emphasizing.
Then everyone is turning on him.
He's walking because he doesn't even have a getaway car.
Do you think when the cops pull up, he's like, let's go.
Come on.
Just open the door for me.
Let's do this.
Like he's resigned to his own fate.
He definitely didn't try to run or resist arrest.
He still has the envelope and he's asking the cops,
can you guys read this?
Does this make sense?
If I'm going to hold it down here,
would you look down and notice it?
What if this is some sort of sweet narrative
where he just got out of jail?
He doesn't know how to live in America anymore.
Or he's got a boyfriend back in there.
Desperately trying to figure out some way.
Guy, you're a plausible defense for these people.
You're writing the greatest fan fiction for John W.
Guy Branham could do another show called Plausible Defense.
On Court TV?
It's a response show to dumb people.
It's called Hold On A Sec.
I feel like Guy Branham needs to be dumb people town's official legal counsel.
Yes. We could never have too many. That would be Dumb People Town's official legal counsel. Yes.
That would be a great use of your
law school education.
I'm not a licensed attorney and haven't learned anything
since 2001.
Anytime you're bored,
waiting for a flight,
people are all on the road or just waiting for
the show. There's a lot of waiting around
in production. Join the Facebook
page and every once in a while just tell people another scenario of how this could have gone just
when you're bored be like god here's a defense here is a plausible defense yeah i will do that
thank you oh man thank you so then investigators pull up he police said hegwood acknowledged that
he went to the bank but first denied he was the man in the photo carrying out the robbery.
Even though he's wearing all the clothes and he's also wearing this hideous goatee.
Ready for his defense?
Yeah.
Telling police that the man in the photo's hair was, quote, too big to be his.
Not my hair, man.
Can we do the cigarette?
Not my hair, man. It's too big. I mean, I hear everything you're saying, but that is not my hair man he's probably can we do the cigarette not my hair man it's too big i mean
i hear everything you're saying but uh that is not my hair no i see what i see the resemblance
but on hair alone man every arrow every arrow points to me except one hey i'm gonna tell you
right now if the follicles are split you must acquit
it's there's a kids book?
That's Not My Lion.
That was a very classic. I would not know.
But there is.
Okay, we'll take your word for it.
That's Not My Lion.
He's like, that's not my hair.
Dan, how frequently do you find yourself reading to toddlers?
Oh.
Just on a given day.
Not my toddler.
It's not my toddler.
It's part of his community service.
Outside of the work release, not much.
Yeah, I know.
The two of us are like, do you read to kids?
Not really, no. It would be funny if we started doing afternoon shows for kids. out of the work release not much yeah i know the two of us like do you read to kids not really no
it would be funny if we started doing like afternoon shows for kids reading series just
the two just the two uh he later admitted that he was a photo imagine he's walking slowly into
all of his confess okay look i'm in the photo after saying hair's too big all right fine i'm
in the photo but maintain that he had done nothing wrong. I didn't do anything wrong.
I didn't do nothing wrong.
She didn't look down.
Hagwood also told police that several people had reached out to him on the internet to
show him the photos from the bank.
So then he ended up being like, I've seen these pictures.
So he's just walking around waiting to get nabbed.
He's been pinged so many times.
Imagine how paranoid he was.
Everyone is calling
the cops on him everybody but this is a social media situation 25 years ago this couldn't have
happened i do love that he had these friends who were like dude you're famous like not even the
ones who were reporting him yeah we're just associating him with photos and he's tearing
up because they're not turning him in i really appreciate that thank you the reality is though
he does have all the talent of a youtube star like when you think about it like that's it he was just famous for a
thing that he did yeah police had two other reasons not to believe hegwood according to
updated he was wearing the same clothing as the man in the photo if you're gonna wear a disguise
you have to take it off isn't that the thing you get into a getaway car you change your clothes
you shave your head the stuff jason i. Jason, I'm going to disagree.
I'm going to say he lacks the producing skill to be a Vine star.
You're right.
I would say you need to have the skateboard in the right place.
This guy can't line things up.
Yes.
Not my hair in seconds.
Not my hair.
Not my hair.
The other reason that they found that they couldn't believe anything he was saying, and
I'm going to say that what I'm about to read is advice
John W. Hegwood got from his single uncle.
Okay.
He had money inside his shoe that matched the amount taken from the bank.
In his shoe?
In his shoe.
So he's walking with a weird limp.
Which he probably thought was the best part of his entire plan.
Yep.
Yeah, that's how they're not going to best part of his entire plan. Go ahead.
Frisk me. Search me. You know he was like,
search me. Why don't you look at my butt?
Why don't you just take your shoe off, son?
Look at my butt. You can look anywhere you want.
I said search me up and down.
I said search you up here.
That's like when someone learns two classes
of self-defense and they're like, come at
me, but you gotta be behind me
and you can only come with your left hand. That's too far behind logan's used to do that to me what the guy when
i was a grave digger and he was the boss and he had he was a third degree taekwondo and at lunch
he'd be like come at me with one hand to toward pointed towards the left side of my face and then
your other hand pointed at my hip and i'd be like no and then he would like who comes at anybody
that way he would always have these nerves i was like john long as i'm not coming at you this way come at me with one foot up you're like no no no why would i do that that's
not self-defense have you ever seen anyone hop into a fight no not at all not at all hagwood
was then taken to the vanderberg county jail where he was officially booked into the facility
at 7 40 p.m i'm gonna going to ask you guys, you can decide,
Guy, if you want to go first or second,
how old is John W. Hegwood?
You saw a picture.
You've got to look at him,
but many times those can be deceiving in Dumb People Town.
For the listener who's playing along,
you haven't seen the photo yet.
You could if you went to the Facebook page,
but let's review.
He has friends. He calls his phone the internet he has a house walking around
he has a house and he keeps money in his shoe and he goes to a bank he does go to a bank how old is
guy how old do you think he is i am going to say that he is 26 26 years old
I think he's much older
I think he's 48
48
he looks way too good to be 48
Jason Sklar
36 years old
I'm splitting the difference
the Midwest is a weird world
where people get houses always
I kept waiting for it to be a trailer home and
it's like no guy no i have a house yeah yeah i would always watch those e2 hollywood stories
or like uh remember vh when you said that show driven yeah and they would show like famous
people's friends growing up and all their friends always look 17 years older than them yeah because
it's that like oh yeah you can you can age in different parts of this country. Oh, yes, you can.
Okay, we'll get out on this.
John, money in the shoe, Hegwood, 32 years old.
Wow.
Wait, you were by four?
You were by six?
Yes.
Oh, Jason Sklar.
I got him.
I knew he was in his 30s.
In between.
All right.
There you go.
John W. Hegwood.
We'll post that picture of him, the the bank i guess that bank photo on the
multiple photos on the face much like jan flato money in the shoe money in the shoe
what would i do for a shoe for like you can't put enough money in his shoe there's no there's
not enough money to give you the money that you can put it goes back to what you were saying how
much money could he have gotten if it fit in his shoe to say you have a gun to only get enough although if you had that funny bit in what movie was that ben stiller ben stiller in a movie
where he's like opens up a briefcase that has a million dollars in it and it just isn't a lot of
money it doesn't fill up stacks it doesn't fill up the briefcase like so maybe if it's high enough
bills but at most but at most you're talking about 1010,000, $15,000. Not worth it. $7,000.
Not worth it at all. Alright, well, you tell
us, guys, what you think. Do we know how much
money it was? No. Doesn't say.
I'd love to hear you guys. Walking around money.
Walking around money.
Ah, there it is. That might have to be the name
of the episode. Walking around money. Okay.
One segment down. Guy Branum is with us.
When we come back, we're going to talk about his new show on
True TV. That's it. Dumb People Town. Stay with us talk about his new show on True TV that's it Dumb People Town
stay with us
stick around
make a sound
there's more
Dumb People Town
hey everybody
welcome back to
Dumb People Town
we got Guy Branum
on the show follow him on Twitter he's a great follow People Town. We got Guy Branum on the show.
Follow him on Twitter.
He's a great follow.
He is...
I am at Guy Branum.
Thanks for having me.
And the show comes on when?
When can people see it on True TV?
It is on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on True TV.
And it's a really cool concept.
It's not been done before.
Yes, it is a game show where you are trying to prove
that you are the best talk show guest possible.
So we have fun celebrities on,
like Diablo Cody and Chelsea Handler
and New York Giants, Rashad Jennings.
Nice.
And you have them square off to prove who is the most charming.
Give me a sample question you would ask them,
or what you've asked people.
You just interview them.
You just ask standard interview questions.
So, Rashad jennings what is
football and then he then has to like you know be funny and name drop and mention his charity and
all of that that's great that's great and then at the end there is a fabulous lightning round
and there because there's not enough pressure on a talk show yeah there needs to be the pressure
to win something the thing is is that like too many people show up knowing exactly what they're going to do and then nothing fun happens that's right phone it
in it was like back in the day when we were doing chelsea lately it was always fun because you knew
that she would ask things that she wasn't supposed to ask and there was a little degree there was a
little bit of chaos great difficulty on also like even like you could tell what guests letterman
loved because he didn't know what was going to happen like there
was an excitement like even go back and watch there's the the future islands performance on
letterman uh you know seasons you know i guess was seasons yeah letterman is just enamored with it
like yeah he just couldn't believe it or when our buddy gar gar buddy gar ryan s the batting
stance guy i highly recommend looking at that youtube clip he just
wasn't prepared for it so when they aren't prepared and when they're like knocked off their toes a
little bit and not giving the stock answer that they give and everything i would imagine that
some people would just love to come on and try and do it it's really really fun we had people
show up who really really surprised me uh cnn conservative correspondent anna navarro
got real real drunk um wow she was a lot to handle i can only imagine it was super fun
yeah and you handled it well i'm sure i don't know that i did but it's a new show and who can
blame me you can blame me for it um yeah it's been uh it's been really really great i love that
you got this thing man yeah and if we
get to do any more we would love to have you guys we would love that would be very fun when does it
air again tell everybody uh it is wednesdays at 10 p.m on true tv come on watch fun tv support
this guy this sounds what i want what i want from you guys yes if you come on the show i want a good
anecdote about on the set of action. Oh, yeah. We do.
We've got one.
I've got the best.
We have the best story from the set of action.
Okay.
Like, literally a phenomenal story. Don't say it now.
I'm not.
I'm saving it for the show.
Save it.
That would be very exciting.
There you go.
We'll run the clip.
You should also do your cover of Seasons Change.
That would be fantastic.
That would be amazing.
No, I don't think anybody wants to do that.
No one wants to do that.
Okay.
Sent in by Matt Geisbrecht.
At Matt Geisbrecht, G-I-E-S.
To me, sounds like a root beer
you would get in Wisconsin.
Oh, it really does.
Honey, get me a Geisbrecht.
We're out, babe.
And a Bavarian pretzel.
Get me a Geisbrecht.
No, we're out.
I'm going to say that a Geisbrecht
is an early morning, very cold bath.
Like it's a...
Oh, it does sound therapeutic.
Just a good Geisbrecht, and then I'm ready for the day. And you're out for a day, it does sound very ludic. Just a good Geisbrecht
and then I'm ready for the day.
Then you're off for a day.
Or you can have coffee if I have a Geisbrecht.
To me, it sounds like a sexual German thing.
That's like having sex in a cold bath.
It's Geisbrecht.
Well, we had a little Geisbrecht
and that's how we get our day started.
It was very nice.
It was very nice.
I'm going to read you guys just the first sentence.
This is not a long story, but if I only read it,
we could do everything on this.
On this first sentence.
A drunken man with a lit cigarette,
already in trouble.
You're already in trouble.
Passed out on the toilet in a Spanaway Walmart bathroom
and caught his underwear on fire.
Okay.
I mean... This guy guy i would say right now
mother of the year well i was gonna say does not have a speaking relationship with his kids no and you know what it's their fault right he tells her it's their fault yeah they
extended my hand a lot of his defense rests on the sentence
i sent you a card um also a man who clearly has made children yeah like this is not somebody
with planning skills and charismatic enough to have gotten a young lady interested a couple of
times earlier in his life he seems like a good time when he is ramping up
to being drunk enough that he sets his underwear also no but this is reaction to every time the
woman he's been with who's been pregnant you're what it's never like you were on top that's
impossible and i don't know what you guys but in my mind beautiful head of hair yeah just a full like a
thick beautiful head of hair like a kurt russell had this guy also not afraid of going to the
bathroom in public which i don't know how we all feel about that i'm fine i go anywhere but like
amazingly does not comfortable come relax enough to fall asleep i'd be like you drunk too yes of
course you drunk man with a lit cigarette
passed out of the toilet in the walmart bathroom and caught his underwear on fire i could fall
asleep at a walmart i just feel like there are enough things around that are giving you a sense
of calm yes like familiarity like that's what you see when you see when you're on walmart is designed
to make you tired enough to just be like all right, let's just get it and go. Let's get it. Roll back home.
But so, did he come
to Walmart
drunk? Because you can't really get drunk
at Walmart. You can buy beer.
Hey, hey, hey.
Is that a dare?
Have you guys noticed that on here?
They've put full bars in some of the Ralph's
grocery stores out here. No.
Yes. Much like a Whole Foods, but now it's at Ralph's.
You can just belly on up and start having a video of TVs.
Live music at the Gelson's.
What?
People playing, like a person playing keyboards and singing.
I want this stuff to make its way to Rochelle, Illinois.
Just bands out at the Sullivan's grocery store.
It will never happen.
Going to Midwestern supermarkets
is the saddest thing it is like a prison for meat and they all smell like they all smell like just
loaves and loaves of bread yes and it's like uh and like there's just sad pathetic um produce
when there is produce like i remember when i moved to minnesota i wanted a peach at some
random point
in the year everybody was like there aren't peaches here yeah there are juice oranges luck
and you have to learn to live with it and i just tried to explain to them about how
our supermarkets are like paradise with flowers and somebody saying are you okay yes yeah it's
like a therapy yes yeah are there we have therapeutic supermarkets out here like you
should be able to see your therapist at a supermarket i feel like he you're asking when he got drunk he in
my opinion he got to the walmart drunk and then really felt like he had a two birds with one
stone situation when he was tired and had to go to the bathroom like he was like i'm just gonna go
on here for a bit oh that's good but he wasn't smoking in the store because you can't smoke in
the store he lit up he lit up in the bathroom but it's an interesting thing because i'm gonna say chicken
and egg i mean the cigarette comes before the shitting you know definitely does so he's in the
bathroom like let me light up he's like oh yeah nature calls thank god i'm here you guys sit down
firefighters were dispatched to the store at 2307 Mountain Highway E.
How high were the flames before he noticed?
That's my question.
Oh, get ready.
Singed pubic hair.
Firefighters were dispatched after the alarms went off, which means in the store, people
were like, there's a fire somewhere in this store.
No, it's not just because if you just burned it and there's a little bit of a burn and
you can put it out, that's not enough smoke to set off a fire alarm i hate to tell you who who was the the star you might remember this who was michael
jackson no the star who called the other star fire crotch who was fire crotch was that lindsey
lohan but i forget who called but someone kept calling her fire crotch and she hated it she
hated it probably would as well but this guy
probably would love to be called firecracker like he's like that's me damn it well the great tragedy
of us like you know trying to end smoking as a thing is that we have fewer drunk people with
fire yeah and it just it led to a lot of great adventures it's like a pirates of the caribbean
like a caveman experience the firefighters went into
the store and found the bathroom filled with smoke also in my mind there was a 15 minute
argument smoke of two walmart employees neither of which wanted to go find the fire don go find
it it's not much we'll find a break in three minutes if i go find this fire that's gonna run into my break i'm not getting
okay you ready yeah oh go ahead oh just who here has in the course of a retailer service job had
to clean up someone else's feces oh i have you have you got feces yeah i've cleaned up throw up
when i was at venture i i've cleaned up blood throw up and feces i think i cleaned up p but we didn't know
what it was what was venture venture is like a store in st louis that's kind of like target but
not as big and nice we had a coals or like yeah yeah is that pretty average have you had to guy
um while i was working at a pizza hut um in high school um how high were you oh i please me in high school i was busy learning oh
also everybody i knew at pizza was high if i did any drugs of any sort i might drop my guard and
admit to someone my secret shame so i had to be always prepared a child it was like midday and a
child shat first in the ball pit and then just on the carpet but his shit was
purest white
was he a wizard?
was he a white walker?
spent the rest of my life trying to figure out
what the fuck was going on
can I guess
I have some guesses
because my kids have shit out like bright green
and stuff and I'm like what's going on
no that is not
it was the icing no it was the food coloring and the icing kids have shit out like bright green and stuff and i'm like what's going on that is not it's
it was the icing no it was the food coloring and the icing of the cupcake that they ate before they
did it so maybe this person had some what did you go through their pellets like an owl no but i was
like you i was in my mind like why is this kid shitting radioactive green stuff what did i do
to him he hasn't been on a nickelodeon show eating slime i what did i do
and then i traced back in my mind i did a little csi and i realized that it was a cupcake and it
tasted like so maybe i don't know if that's the answer i'm not trying to answer one of your life's
questions but i i mean that is better than his gallbladder stopped working at four oh that's so
sad guy the pizza hut you worked Yes. Did it have a buffet?
Oh, God, yes.
Can I ask you this?
Yes.
Remember the raspberry fruity dessert pizza?
Oh, yes.
Was it ever not scolding?
Like, scolding hot?
Scolding or scolding?
Scolding.
Scolding?
Yeah, it yelled at you.
Yeah, it was yelling at you.
Every time I would eat that pizza every time it burned
my mouth yeah every time why were you going for a raspberry pizza is it tell them tell me that i
never consumed it no never did the worst thing people have done people tell them back me up
raspberries on cheese and tomato raspberries on like a cookie like kind of a thing it's it's like
a very thin crust you can't call it a pizza though raspberry and then it's on like a cookie kind of a thing. It's like a very thin crust. You can't call it a pizza, though.
It's got raspberry, and then it's got some sort of Cinnabon stuff put on top of it.
Icing.
Icing.
It's so good.
It's basically like a giant Pop-Tart in the shape of a pizza.
Yeah, and it's delicious.
You never ate it?
I mostly delivered things.
They only had me do in-store stuff when somebody shat in the ball pit.
I can't believe there's a ball pit. You're out on a delivery, and they a delivery they're like god we're gonna need you to come back we got a two four
one boy to do this uh that's so awful all i remember from pizza was going there and drinking
pitchers of coke and yeah and dad's pictures of beautiful the plastic the red remember the red
cup yeah the red red giant red cups. Book it. Book it.
Book it was my jam. I lied about so many
books. Okay, anyway.
They go in the store, the fire department.
They find the bathroom filled with smoke.
As the man on the toilet
sat there,
drawers down,
asleep, and ash from his cigarette
fell between his legs, ignited his
underwear. The man slept through
all of it oh yes sleeping is a broad full of smoke he passed his underwear is on fire between his
legs and he is out like a light well his underwear is down by his feet so that's a good thing he is
his junk is somewhat protected by the porcelain of But your leg hair is just a path up there.
That's right.
That is the road map to get to the junk.
Fire and Rescue spokesman Brian Levings.
Hey, for the listeners at home, the ice machine's working.
That's applause for the ice machine for this guy.
One of our guys actually used a dry chemical extinguisher to put out his pants while they were still on him
and i bet he slept through that because he wouldn't wake up that roused the man now
imagine everything we've said about this guy he backs it up with the first thing he does
being woken up from his own pants gets into a karate stance the fire extinguisher and the
fire being put out roused the man who then pulled a knife
on the firefighters my man that is just that is a guy so this is a guy who sleeps with a knife at
home right the life he has led has given him these survival skills in that situation wake up from
burning pants no human being is nearby try to stab it stab it two rules for
when he goes to sleep knife within reach necklace stays on cigarette will handle itself like don't
no need to put that cigarette will go out on its own yeah i just leave all i put a bucket of water
by the bed hand right angled off the edge of the bed that way if i drop it we're all good to go
we're all good he didn't have that that day comes up with a knife that rouse him and he pulled the knife our guys escorted
him to the floor is that the nicest way to say that to the floor is the nicest way of saying
we kicked is that some good legal speak yes that's wonderful they reaccommodated him to the floor
escorting someone to the floor.
That is the politest way of saying I'm going to kick your ass.
If you're ever in a fight, anybody, just say, excuse me, I'm about to escort you to the floor.
It also sounds like a hit Kenny Rogers single from the 80s.
I'm going to escort you to the floor.
But it's obviously a dance floor.
Or maybe it's a Conway Twitty, a love to lay down situation.
You look 14 i'm gonna ask
you to the floor uh they escorted him to the floor and began to tend to his injuries the man had
burns to his legs and was taken to the hospital he was released that same night this is a guy
crime i guess it's a crime to smoke indoors and i guess it's but yeah that'd be a crime and pulling
a knife on the cops yeah
no knife on a firefighter okay what could they bring him up with public intoxication
public intoxication uh smoking if he wasn't supposed to potential potential civil or
inadvertent arson is that a thing or no well to himself i mean like he was only burning something
that he himself owns sure yeah can you charge him on the knife
pole oh yeah that's a weapon definitely a weapon i mean like you can say it's assault enough to be
arrested but it probably wouldn't stick yes him i'll say this him being released that night tells
me that from the moment he got to the hospital he was telling them to let him leave no matter how
bad his burn yeah i'm good i'm good with third degree burns you don't walk out of a 50 times he said i'm good i'm good i'm good
can i say this that whole time pants on fire taken to the floor at the hospital
somewhere there was a kid whose dad never showed up that day that's right that's right he'll be
here what's the worst that could happen you're not gonna believe this i wonder if they grabbed him a pair of pants and
underwear from walmart to get him something else to wear on the way out of there i'm not paying
for that if you were like a firefighter or police officer in this situation would you be like all
right let's get something on this dick or would you be like no this man has to deal with the
consequences of his action i think you let him donald duck for
the rest of the day that's right you donald duck with that term's gonna become about a dumb people
so fully dressed on top only be wearing a shirt naked but from the waist the donald sutherland
move from it was like the chicago cubs never had a mascot and then they got one proposed one bear it was a bear but
not jersey but then shoes that were tied so high top shoes were tied so clearly some attention was
put to the bottom but no pants no pants donald ducking it straight on the bottom i love it i
love it story number two i love it we've seen some craziness and just the idea of wanting to assault a firefighter because no one really wants i can understand wanting to get into it with a cop
right they're trying to stop you from living the life he pulled that knife before he even
knew who was in the room look firefighters go through a lot i'm not gonna my cousin a little
what happened at 9 11 but this is close jason at sklar brothers stop imagine what those poor first responders
had to inhale i mean these are first responders that had to inhale some horrible shit that's
burning underwear yes and some horrible shit i'm just literally can we step back to your discussion
of chicago football for just a moment for me to say you guys are from st louis baseball it was
baseball but yes i don't know it doesn matter. They're both bear things up there.
Sure.
Yes.
Basically just-
And I know you love bears.
My question is, and I love people who love bears.
You should.
My question is, okay, St. Louis, like mid-sized city, but it has like a full slate of your
big four.
Used to.
So the St. Louis Rams football team now is in LA.
They're the LA Rams.
So now they only have two left.
They've never had an NBA team.
They have a hockey team, St. Louis Blues, and a baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals.
It just, to some extent, bothered me that between you guys and Kansas City, that's a lot of like-
Sports stuff.
Yes.
I'm now more okay when I realize you no longer have a football team.
You don't have a football team.
It's a good way.
Guy's stance is, you didn't took it away. Guy Stance's,
you didn't deserve it anyway.
Yeah, exactly.
When our cops are shooting
black people with their hands
in the air,
you end up losing
your football team.
That's the response
and I'm sad to say that
because I love St. Louis
and I love my hometown
and we love the people
that we grew up with
and that experience,
but I'm sorry.
You lose your football team
when you start doing it.
We did.
All right.
On that note, Jay, excellent note to end this your football team when you start. We did. All right. On that note, Jay,
excellent note to end this segment.
We're down.
Two segments down.
When we come back,
one last story.
Plus, we had to get him on the line
and we actually had to get him in here.
He's actually joining us
because he's been banned from the Ukraine.
He's the first person we've ever,
like a singular person that we ever know
banned from a country banned from entire country steven seagal is with us we will join talk to him
and whatever kimono he's got right after this stick around make a sound there's more All right, everybody.

Tell two friends.
Yeah, tell a couple of friends about this show.
And, oh, by the way, it's not going to-
More podcasts need to work a phone tree.
Let's be honest.
Exactly.
We were talking about phone trees the other way.
Like, that's the way people communicated.
You had two people you had to tell, and that was it.
And they told two people, and not the other way.
And it worked.
By gum, it worked.
In Rochelle, that's called a prayer chain.
A prayer chain.
Let's just do a prayer chain.
Yeah, let's do a little prayer chain.
It's like the best way for just Christians to gossip.
Right.
It's so great.
I'm calling you with a prayer chain.
I don't know if you're aware.
But can you give a quick hint?
Kelly Sullivan's daughter, 17, pregnant.
What?
You could pray for her.
And who do I need to call?
Do I need to call Sheila? Well, I'll tell you who to call. So I've already called some people. Okay. her. And who do I need to call? Do I need to call Sheila?
Well, I'll tell you who to call.
So I've already called some people, but I guess from what I understand, they were away
in a party and I told them, do not let your kids stay home in your house.
Do I have to call the Durbins?
She was two months ago.
Do I call the Durbins?
So pray for her.
Pray for her.
I'm praying.
I'm praying right now as we speak.
Mom, can I use the phone?
Nope.
Get off the phone.
Get off the prayer phone prayer tree
prayer tree uh i would love one so this show might happen soon right guy yeah so this might
happen in like people town hall if dumb people town hall meeting town hall meeting which would
be really fun uh and so that's happening and also just a little heads up uh sclabo country which is
our other podcast which we were doing at ear, nothing's going to happen to the feed.
So if you're getting the Sklarbro Country, it stays on the feed.
But at the end of June, Sklarbro Country is going to be moving over here to Feral Audio
as well.
That's our other podcast.
So it doesn't change anything for the people that are listening to it.
We're just letting you know that it's going to be making the move.
All right.
We've got one more story.
We do.
Guy, I want to ask you really quick.
Last story about Pizza Hut, I'm sorry.
Or last question.
Yes.
Okay. one more story guy i want to ask you really quick last story about pizza hut i'm sorry our last question yes okay i've always my whole life wanted one of those long bladed handle things that they
used to cut the pizza oh yes those were the greatest essentially like a bath lat
it just was like this is what i'm done with these little like sharp wheels no i want one one of the
i was always like that just yeah they would
like rock it back and forth to cut the pizza so efficiently ours didn't even removed rocking from
the equation it was just a straight down thing like it was really trying to remove all complexity
so that the stupidest possible people could work there i love it and they wouldn't lose a finger
really exciting oh my god uh one other quick question when you moved from california to
minnesota how quickly were you like i don't like this isn't for me like i don't know how you ended
up there i like um i think it was my first day of like real humidity i was like yeah what have i
done no no i'm going to step it back and i'm going to say when i was in des moines and looked up at a sign that said described
soft drinks as pop like i was like they're not joking yeah it's like yeah they're gonna just
keep doing this that was very concerning and when they were when they referred to the beach
and i realized that they were talking about the side of the Mississippi River.
Oh, no.
We were like, people.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
The jargon was too much.
I love that so many people say, oh, the winters, but the humidity to the uninitiated can be like, it's like walking through a dryer.
And the winter I knew was coming.
And when it came, it was much, much worse.
winter i like knew was coming and when it came it was much much worse but there was exciting moment of like i was because like law school i like stayed in the library until like two in the
morning and i was walking back and i forgot my hat because i'm from california right what the
fuck do i need a hat for and then it was like oh guy you should probably put your hands over your
ears if you would like to continue to have exactly this is like an upton sinclair novel you
rub them off and they come off for christ's sake uh let me ask you a question were you were you
out to everybody in law school yet or no okay i came out in law school in law school after the
first year and i came out to everyone as quickly as possible did that make the rest of law school
tolerable and that you were your you could be yourself well i mean everyone just sort of understood that i was checked out after that point in time and guys
going on his journey and learning how to like date boys uh and now his concern for the due process
clause um is dim has waned a little bit yes he was working on his own habeas corpus
it's called quid pro quo uh all right you ready for the last one yeah let's
do it sioux falls south dakota yeah this man is on the hall of fame of dumb people okay he's on
the police police say a man ran into a burning building twice despite orders from police and
firefighters for him to stop. Sir, don't.
Sir, do not. Sir, don't. I'll be right back.
That's on us.
Police firefighters. Fool me once,
burning building. Shame on me. Sir, we
told you not to go in there. I'll be right back.
Do you guys want to know what he went in for?
Can we hazard
guesses? Yes.
Would you like to go first or last, Guy?
I would like to go first.
I'm going to say it is Mama's Family on Blu-ray.
Oh, yes.
I'm going to say it is DVDs of some sort.
I will not lie to you.
There's no need to see those people in HD.
No.
I loved that show growing up.
Loved it.
You love Vicki Lawrence.
Vicki Lawrence was like a young woman just playing an old woman.
She was like white Tyler Perry.
I never thought about it that way, but it's entirely true.
Or Tyler Perry.
Just kidding.
Randy, what do you think?
I think he went in for a pet, but it's not a traditional pet.
I think it was like a snake.
Okay.
Jason Sklar.
I think he went in for fish.
The band?
Yeah.
They're in there.
They're trying to finish their set
they got 17 more minutes on that set we gotta get them out be a farmhouse
he went back into the beer twice back into the back into the house twice for beer beer no yes
can't get that anywhere else police and firefighters arriving apartment building uh
fire along spring avenue just after 12 30 p.m sunday you
know you're an alcoholic if you're like i'm going into that burning fire two people were treated for
smoke inhalation a third was taken to a local hospital with crews at the scene public information
officer san clement said that michael castile ignored a police officer when he ran back into
the building according to police he came back out and went back into the building again. While inside, firefighters repeatedly told him to leave.
Imagine that argument.
They're in the house trying to put it out.
He's in the house looking for his beer.
Sir, you have got to go.
Yeah, I just got to get this six-pack.
One second.
It's a Chimay.
No, the thing is, you know it's shitty Midwest beer.
Yes, it's Milwaukee's best.
When he came back out again, police said he was carrying two cans this is what i had set up of what kind of beer
all right all right guy first or last all right it's cans
paps paps blue ribbon old style old style from randy's go with the beast milwaukee's best
everybody at home play along What two types of beer?
They were the same.
Both cans of beer were the same.
And the Sklar should have stayed local because it was Bud Ice.
Oh.
Bud Ice, guys.
Can't get that anywhere else.
When your selling point of your beer is that it's cold,
they're distracting you from how bad it is.
I saw a commercial for Coors.
Coors was like, we're the ones who pioneered the recyclable can
what aren't all cans recyclable in one level i would how did you pioneer the recyclable did
you guys know that like once you get below like 32 degrees like that 38 to 28 you're masking most
of the taste of all beer so any beer that's marketing itself on being super cold is just
hiding how bad look
at the mountains like here let me give you more things did they turn blue all right i'm gonna
defend this man okay i'm saying that's why you're that's why you're legal counsel your apartment
is on fire there's nothing you're going to do that's for the remainder of your evening don't
you and like something kind of horrible is happening don't you want to just politely drink
self-medicate two cans of beer and it's not just like getting through it it's like i guess this is
my evening now yeah my next three months right now like this is the beginning of a very long
guy is absolutely right my question is why did he why could he not get both cans on one trip
i don't have enough hands no you do you actually do have maybe he doesn't
i don't know that's true guy you've also like now i picture him sitting on the stump that has not
been removed from his front yard not talking to anyone and drinking his beer while watching
diligently watching that house burn down uh i so clearly imagined this in the one apartment building that Sioux Falls needs.
Yeah, that's the apartment building.
That's where the renters go.
That's where all the divorced dads.
Castillo's blood alcohol content.
Not too, I mean, not bad.
0.082.
So couldn't drive.
Just the legal limit.
Just the legal limit.
But he wasn't driving around.
He was a good drunk. Yeah. 0 8 2 so couldn't drive legal limit just the legal limit but he wasn't driving around he was
like good drunk yeah uh he was arrested for obstructing firefighters and violating the 24
7 sobriety program so he had something else going yeah for this gentleman yeah this is one of those
moments where he's like i'm breaking it and i didn't say it i should have i forgot because
she's a friend of the show for a very long time sent in by kim fritz i love fritz kimberly fritz frit here's the deal here's the deal on some level i can kind of understand this
yesterday it was the morning and there were the baked cheetos from trader joe's which i absolutely
love more than regular cheetos and i sat down and i was like i'm just gonna have a
handful of these cheetos my wife's not in the house nobody's here to tell me what the fuck to
do not that she does but i was just like i'm you weren't gonna face judgment only god is watching
me right now and i'm gonna just get and i had a handful of those cheetos and i was like okay i'm
going back for another big ass handful no then I was like all
right I'm just gonna pour some in a bowl that was like this 9 a.m eating and I could not fucking
stop I couldn't stop I could not stop myself so I'm like anybody who's like I'm going back in there
to get that beer I know it's wrong I'm going back in there again it comes out and it's like wait a
minute there's one more in there I should have gotten it go back in I kind of understand that
behavior okay the 24-7 sober living
thing makes me completely change my estimation
of the situation because I have no patience
for a drunk
who is a beer drunk.
What are you doing that you're somebody who clearly
cannot go two hours
of your life without consuming alcohol
and you haven't just gotten a little more efficient
to have your hands on something
that could do that job.
Beer is like going into any store and paying only with ones.
That's going the long way around the cul-de-sac to get there.
Like you're saying, just get a thing.
Maybe he doesn't like that.
Maybe he loves the taste of beer.
I want to say the environmental impact of drinking yourself to death with beer is yes is just untenable a lot more than yourself
but course but course has really pioneered the recycle who can't so fair fair all right that's
fair you can't argue with that uh but yeah no i for me i feel like this guy this guy's journey
was could i make it through a traumatic experience Could my sobriety hold through a traumatic experience?
And he said, clearly, as he's watching his building burn to the ground,
no, I can't.
It can't.
Now, for me, I would also love it if this was the origin story of a superhero.
If he was like, burn face, and he had gone back in,
and he had a burn on his face.
Burn face.
Burn face.
I don't want to give away a joke, by the way.
I don't want to give away a joke, the way i don't want to give a give away
a joke but i went to see guardians of the galaxy 2 is this a spoiler no two good friends of ours

Well, no, you won't take Steven Seagal, will you?
Didn't DMX threaten to fight the guy who beat up,
who had killed Trayvon Martin?
Yes.
That happened.
George Zimmerman.
That didn't happen, but DMX did.
I told him I would train him if he wanted.
Yeah, I don't know if that's a good thing,
if Steven Seagal at this point.
Well, first of all,
you know the fight couldn't take place in the Ukraine.
I got my kimono.
Hold on, I got my kimono.
He sat on his...
Don't sit on your...
He's caught.
He's caught.
Unlodge it.
All right.
Good to meet you all.
Yeah, hey.
You're welcome.
So you are not allowed to fight in the Ukraine
or train anybody there
because you've been banned from the Ukraine.
What?
You didn't read the news you don't know that
we're we can't be the ones telling you uh i don't get a lot of the headlines unless they're in the
frame when you buy the paper they said that's not a newspaper it was everywhere steven seagal
banned for five years from the ukraine no yes who by who by the. Oh, dang it.
Okay.
Wait, hold on.
Can I get back in?
What if I need to get something?
What do you still have in the Ukraine?
I left my flip-flops there.
You're going to have to get a new pair of flip-flops.
No, the rainbow flip-flops.
They're molded to my feet.
I know how that happens. It took me years to break them in i know let me ask you guys this
big loss would you guys go to the ukraine and get them for me i i got you go i'm not gonna i'm very
busy i'm sorry he's hosting a tv show here's the deal what if what if you guys go there and then
i call you from 10 10 244 so that I can call you?
That's the number you call before you dial so you can get lower rates on your minutes
and international calls.
Jesus Christ.
And then I say to you what payphone I'm at and you guys call me back at that payphone.
The old payphone scam.
We know it.
And I'll walk you through finding my flippy floppies.
Remember what we said about a payphone?
Hold on.
Okay.
If a country breaks up with you, you're saying you don't have a right to go get your stuff?
No.
No, no.
It's not like a personal break up.
What did I do?
What did I do?
What did the newspaper say I did?
I'm looking it up to try to think.
Have you ever left something in a relationship, like left something in a house, and you're
like, that's gone?
Yeah.
I can't handle it.
You've got to move past it, Mr. Skrull.
You've got to move past it. Oh oh you can call me mr steve i don't i don't think okay when did
they say this is this real this is real this is over national security so there's a national
well i am i am a threat the ukraine has banned action film star steven seagal that's you
from entering the country for five years.
Seagal, an American, was given Russian citizenship by President Vladimir Putin last year in a ceremony shown on state television.
Me and VP are buddies.
He has vocally defended the Russian leader's politics and criticized U.S. government, which you should probably love what's going on right now between the U.S. and Russia.
I do love it. A statement from Ukrainian security service on Friday said Seagal's entry was banned on
the basis of Ukrainian national security.
Okay, okay.
It did not elaborate.
You don't got to read it all.
First of all, any press is press.
No.
No, he's right about that.
Any press is-
It is press.
Press.
That qualifies as press.
Can you guys help me get these rainbows?
No.
We're not going to be able to get your flip-flops.
It said, Seagal also reportedly has spoken in favor of Russia's 2014 annexation of the
Crimean Peninsula from the Ukraine.
You said you were in favor of that.
Well, I mean, Russia wanted to put on an addition.
It's like a patio.
No.
Yes, they just wanted a deck.
And I love the show Meg Decks on DIY Network.
Do you like Mega Decks?
And so I figured if Putin wants a deck, he should get a deck.
He's got a beautiful deck.
You are not getting your flippy floppies back, and I apologize.
We'll see if we can crowdfund and get you a new deck.
I saw two pieces of cantaloupe and a half-eaten croissant on my way in.
Is that claimed?
That belongs to the receptionist. That belongs to an employee here.
You can't eat that.
I don't think you're allowed to eat that.
Do they need it?
You can ask them.
You ask them if they're going to finish it.
We're not going to ask them.
I'll be up front, too, if you guys are heading my way.
Yeah, probably not.
I don't think so.
Which way are you?
Guy, if you need a big superstar on your show, let me know.
Thank you.
Are you and the Dalai Lama still friends?
Well, we had an argument over
who had better flowing
clothing uh-huh and
who won that argument
he's got pretty flowy
clothes he has very
good flowy clothes so
then I had an argument
over who had a better
ponytail we each took a
win away from that but
we haven't spoken since
you guys are tight yeah

flesh I get that I get
that all right Stephen Seagal,
