Population U.
It gets cooler more than what we do. Oh it it does. And we got a great one today.
Oh, this is a beaut.
He's an old friend, a hilarious comedian.
And you will recognize his voice most likely as Crow T. Robot on the reboot of MST3K.
God dang.
Hampton, yont and yont.
Hello, sir.
Hello, babies.
Are people recognizing your voice?
No.
Out in the world?
Bless my face
But people will stop me
Across a crowded street
That's what you know
Oh my god
Are you the third crow?
Of a minorly popular show?
By the way
It is not minorly popular
At all
The second crow was
Bruce Lee's son right?
Yes
Can't believe he died
In the shooting of that
I believe it was Eddie Furlong
Who does not look good Have you I believe it was Eddie Furlong. Who does not look good.
Have you seen him recently?
Eddie Furlong.
That should have been Fur Short.
Should have gone Fur Short.
That's a record.
Under three minutes to the Carson impression.
Is that a regular?
Eddie Furlong is so big.
How big is he?
He's now called Eddie Two Furlongs.
That's two times around the
track.
Terrible.
What we do on this show, if you don't know, is
Dan gets stories
sent to him. Hi Dan Van Kirk.
Sent to him by our wonderful listeners.
We have not heard the stories.
Hampton hasn't heard the stories. I've barely
read them. I don't read the news. I'm barely
literate.
And we get to riff on them because it's dumb people doing dumb things.
And we all sort of agree that our nation is getting dumber by the minute.
The world is getting dumber.
And the only way to combat it is through comedy and through trying to understand it and make
peace with it and have fun with it.
Daniel, you doing well, by the way?
Oh, I'm doing phenomenal.
Phenomenally. Phenomenally. No, I'm just doing phenomenal. Let me finish I'm doing phenomenal Phenomenally
I'm just doing phenomenal
Let me finish her name is phenomenal
She's a stripper
She's actually not a stripper
I've been watching the movie Phenomenon
How have I been doing it?
I've been watching the movie Phenomenon
Her name is phenomenal and she's
Going to medical school
To put her way through stripping.
Yeah, she wants to become a doctor to pay for her stripping.
Phenomenon.
John Travolta movie?
Phenomenon.
Right?
Phenomenon, yeah.
Yes, where he's an angel?
No, no, that's where he has brain cancer.
That's Michael.
That's Michael.
But the theme song to Michael was Phenomenon.
Got a brain tumor.
I thought there was like a three movie set of phenomenon michael and powder
to me like those were all released they're like we need the next phenomenon well can the guy be
white yeah powder yeah we can make him even whiter than that he's an angel i would dare say any movie
you're talking about someone says can the guy be white?
Here's a whole spiel.
Same thing.
I know it's a story about a slave, but can he be white?
I know.
I don't want to tell you your business, but can Django be white?
I know in the comic book, it's an Asian woman, but can he be white?
It's a she.
It's not even a he.
Let's get to a story, Dan.
There's nothing more woke, though, than four white straight dudes talking about.
Woke AF.
Woke AF.
You want to do a story?
Let's do it.
Here we go.
This was sent in by Andy Russell at TheRussell4.
The R-U-S-S-E-L-L, 4.
Thanks, Andy Russell.
What he did, and if you want to be like him, he was the first person to send me this story.
That's why he got picked.
And he said, at DanielVanKirk on Twitter, hashtag DumbPeopleTown, check out this story.
And that's how we got here.
Nice.
That's our dumb people on the ground.
Yes.
Dumb ears on the ground.
They're in dumb action choppers across the city crashing ground. Yes. Dumb ears on the ground. They're in dumb action choppers across the city
crashing into each other.
Dumb boots on the ground.
A naked man.
So we know.
Coming in hot.
Yeah.
Coming in hot.
Germany or Florida.
Yeah.
Running around downtown
Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Yeah.
On Tuesday,
on Tuesday afternoon.
Five miles in any direction.
That's Florida to me.
Don't go five miles.
You talk to anybody like,
don't go five miles down Okeechobee.
Right.
Don't go five miles out this way.
You don't want to go up to Okee Panokee Swamp there.
I'm at the beach.
They're like, don't go five miles out into the water.
Don't go five miles out of the water.
Yeah, there's a meth lab out there.
A floating meth lab.
It's a floating garbage island
and they've set a meth lab up on it.
And it's on fire.
Funny thing,
the meth lab came first.
Yeah.
All right.
It's the old adage
which came first,
the floating garbage island
or the meth lab.
It's a chicken and egg situation.
A naked man running around
downtown Fort Lauderdale
on Tuesday afternoon
was enough on its own
to turn heads,
but there was more.
No.
How do you get more?
Also, this is how you know.
What on him is burning?
Things have gotten so passe in Florida,
they need to hook you right away.
To be like, guys, yes, another naked man.
So a naked man was going to do, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Don't go anywhere because it gets crazy.
Yeah, there's more.
I know it's boring.
You're falling asleep.
The mayor was naked through town again.
Take that Werther's out of your mouth before you nod off.
But there was more, they say.
According to the FBI, we're going.
So now this is a federal issue.
Our grandmother used to say to us whenever we'd make a big deal and start going,
don't make a federal case about it.
Don't make a federal case out of this.
This is a naked federal case.
I love that grandma, for her, there was like a hierarchy
as to... If we made a state's case
out of it, she would have been okay with it. I know you're
angry that you guys didn't get to watch TV.
That is a local issue. Take it up with your
alderman. If you could stop subpoenaing
me. Do not make it.
Do not drive across state lines to
Illinois and make a federal case out of this.
Secure your kids and your municipal problems.
Alright, what does he do?
What gets the FBI involved?
Yeah.
According to the FBI, he had robbed a bank and was throwing stolen money at people, making
an even bigger spectacle.
It should be, Ann, but we're not here to judge.
Making an even bigger spectacle.
Making an even bigger spectacle.
Nope, I like a even bigger spectacle.
Making an even bigger spectacle.
He's like a Batman villain at this point.
Yes.
Naked man.
So he robs a bank.
40 bucks come flying your way when you weren't expecting it.
You'll give a pass on the balls.
On the ball flap, you'll give a pass.
I'll give a what for.
Just tipping people.
Just the tip.
Just the tip.
He's tipping them for watching
him get naked yeah reverse one time when i was i kind of love this guy one time when i was a kid
and um not as felt i was at six flags and i thought it'd be i was with a group of friends
and uh i thought it'd be funny to tell one of the carnival worker guys i go uh
i go hey give me a dollar I'll take off my shirt.
And that guy looked at me and goes,
give me a dollar to keep that shirt on.
I felt so, I'm like, you got me.
But I will take that dollar.
Send it over the page.
And I took that dollar, and this is the same shirt.
I'm taking it off.
I turned that dollar into nothing.
Seeing it as a parent today, I'm like,
at least he didn't abduct you.
Yeah. I thought you were going to say, I'm like, at least he didn't abduct you. Yeah.
I thought you were going to say, I'll give you a dollar a year.
I lived in a cell underneath his bed.
I liked it there.
All right, here we go.
Ready?
Do we call this guy because he's taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor?
If he has a boner, do we call him Robin Wood?
Ask our brothers.
Robin Wood.
How about Robin Wood?
Robin Williams?
Maybe in another episode, we'll just have you guys be Carson while Hampton is Robin Williams.
The cocaine will seep through the floorboards.
Yes, it will.
All right, here we go.
Ready for this guy's name?
Because it's perfect.
Alexander Hayden
Sperber. Alexander
Hayden Sperber.
Of Fort Lauderdale. My name is

There's a million
dollars I haven't given.
And I'm the man who fucked him.
Just you him. Just

Alexander Hammelberger. For the
listeners at home, Randy waited in line.
My name is Alexander Hammelberger.
Four hours with his daughter.
Was it four? Seven.

Eight hours for tickets and got me two tickets that I don't even
appreciate and I don't

it's phenomenon
it's phenomenon
no don't you dare
Alexander Hayden Spurber
you ready guys
damn kids Alexander Hayden Spurber of fort lauderdale parked his red ford mustang aka
he's a dick near a region's bank branch at 100 southeast third avenue add that to the dumb
people town walking tour if you're new to the show we have a map where you can go to every
location that
every one of these stories has ever happened you know those like navy commercials where they're
like showing you different landscapes and there's like a giant red pin in the background you're like
ah then pops out this map there is a dumb version of that yes that's where the army's recruiting
that's where the naked people are running it's where they're getting the good numbers alexander hayden spurter spurber that don't make a difference he went in about 306 p.m about 306 p.m i mean
around that time we're not getting on the federal case out about he then decided to extend his index
finger as if to depict a gun pointed pointed at the teller, and according
to a criminal complaint, asked her for money.
Now, is he naked now?
No.
Okay.
He's got clothes on.
But he just does the hand.
Finger and hand.
That probably came with the Mustang, right?
Like one of those.
If you're a gun, the guy who sells you the car hands you a finger.
Yours now.
You can have one of these on the house, bro.
Hope you have a license for one of these.
Then he turns it to a pillar of salt.
There is an interest rate on that finger handgun as well.
Sperber told the teller he would hurt her and others if his needs weren't met.
Sexually.
She put approximately $7,500 in the bag he handed her along with
a die pack and a bait bill she's really loading him up though bait bill means if he pays it with
any pays it anywhere and it tracks right back to him oh really yeah in my mind there was like a
little gps computer attached oh maybe the bill hoping no no you're right my idea is when you just tie like a piece of string to a dollar bill and the bill. No, no, you're right. My idea is dumb.
I literally thought it was when you just tie like a piece of string to a dollar bill and
you make someone go down the street.
Just see where he goes.
Yeah, there's the dollar bill.
You know, like a juste pour rear bit.
Yes.
Quit talking.
The fish are sleeping.
As Alexander Hayden Sperber left the bank, the die pack exploded.
In my mind, he took three steps towards the door.
And then boom.
Yes.
Getting ready. All over his gun finger.
Now, there's a little wrinkle in what I'm about to tell you and all of our listeners
that to me just ups the comedy a little bit.
The dye pack exploded, getting red dye all over his clothing.
And his face.
His hand and the cast on his wrist.
Wait a minute
I know
so he's
injured
yes
got a busted
wig
he's walking around
like DiCaprio
in The Departed
yeah
so nervous
yeah
this is a high stakes
operation
if you've ever
heard one
yes
maybe he's trying
to pay for an
operation
and that's when
are you a cop
are you a cop
are you a fucking
cop
am I a fucking
cop are we cops what cop? Are you a fucking cop? Are you a fucking cop? Am I a fucking cop?
Are we cops?
What is this?
Is this a police station?
I'll tell you what you aren't going to be.
You aren't going to be no fucking truth.
Oh!
I'll tell you that right now, okay?
You come in here.
Oh, you live down south here for on the weekends,
visiting your daddy after your parents got divorced.
Then you're living up on the north road with care.
You're not fucking cops, okay?
I know who you are, okay?
Dude, nobody nobody has a fucking
Cop
Shut the fuck up
Shut the fuck
Who's a firefighter
Who's a firefighter
You wanna get in a fight
In the street in front
Of Little Italy
Just because you had
A good time at the theater
Hanging outside of the Wilbur
You think you're a big man
Wanna go down to the club
Because you saw someone
Dancing there one time
And so you think
You're a big fighter
But you grab that first bottle
Don't you
And you break it over
Anybody's head that you can
And you know why
Cause you're nothing but a phony
And you know what you'll never be?
You'll never be
no fucking Boston.
You'll never be
a mass trooper.
I'll tell you that right now.
Masters of Boston.
Masters of Boston.
I made up a monologue
I barely remember.
Sure.
Okay, here we go.
He left the bank,
gets red dye
all over his brand new cast.
Yep.
And that's when he made his memorable...
I would say the red dye was cast at that point.
And that's when he made his memorable appearance on Los Olos Boulevard, authorities say.
Let me ask you this.
When he took off all his clothes because he was covered in red dye, do you think he also
looked for a place to throw the finger gun?
Yeah.
I got to get rid of this.
First you discharge it, then you
throw it. You can't just clear the chamber.
Take the cannoli, throw
the fingers. You spent 22 minutes
trying to rub off the cereal.
Covered and died.
Alexander Hayden Sperber
removed the finger gun.
You guys.
If you're loving that bit, it's at sklar brothers not bad it's a really good bit no i that's
what i'm saying only if you love it alexander hayden sperber removed his clothes and ran naked
down los alas boulevard throwing the money into the air as he ran to me this is like joyous yeah
this is what liberace wanted to do this is is a Florida parade. This is technically a Florida parade.
Yippee! Counts as a parade.
Witnesses who
captured the bizarre scene on camera
said he was throwing out $150
bills. I don't
think there is a $150 bill.
$100?
Who's on the $100 bill is
Benjamin Franklin. You know who's on the $100 bill is B. Benjamin
You know who's on the $150 bill
Alexander Hayden
I just used Bitcoin
He was throwing Bitcoin around
He was Venmoing everyone he saw
With his phone
You get $150
You get $150
What's your address I'm not throwing away my shot With his phone just stray Venmo-ing. You get 150. You get 150. You get 150.
What's your address?
I'm not throwing away my shot.
Witness.
Drew Armstrong told WSVN Channel 7.
He saw Sperber, but couldn't really believe what his eyes were telling him.
I didn't believe the eyes inside of Moscow.
Do your eyes talk to you?
How dumb is that person?
This is what he says.
And then this lady passed me,
and I asked her,
was he naked?
And she's like,
yeah, he was naked.
That's all in the article?
Yes.
It's just good journalism.
It's good writing.
That's the true detective of this town.
Is he in there?
Naked?
I believe I just saw something with my oculus.
Fort Lauderdale police arrested
Alexander Hayden Sperber
near 800 Northeast 4th Street.
Add that.
And they wrapped him
in a yellow tarp.
So he's like a giant taco
with salsa.
Yeah.
Giant taco who just ran
a marathon.
Two more fun things here.
After his arrest,
I always say this,
there's one sentence
that gets something
right into Dumb People Town.
Here it is.
Sperber told a special agent
that when he woke up
Tuesday morning,
he decided,
quote,
to rob a bank,
flee by running
naked down the street
while throwing money
that he stole
during the bank robbery
to people
in order
to begin his career as a comedian.
Most people just go to an open mic.
I got bumped for this guy?
This guy?
And he's opening at the Improv on Tuesday night.
You've seen him on Oliveira Street.
Boy.
You've seen him at the bank.
He's been on Action News.
He's been on S-E-N Action 7 News.
And Comics Unleashed.
And Comics Unleashed.
By Byron Allen.
Byron Allen.
You can't put a leash on this guy.
Boop, boop.
Out of concern.
It is Alex.
Hey, that's my man.
Out of concern for his health, they called paramedics who took him to the Broward Health
Medical Center.
Doctors there found him to be conscious, coherent, and uninjured.
He was charged with one count of robbery.
His lawyer could not be identified.
We're going to get out of here on this.
I'm going to ask you guys, how old is Alexander Hayden Sperber?
Too much fun leaves marks in life.
Living hard, you'll pay the price.
Who is going to get it right? Can I make a guess?
You get to decide if you want to go first, third, or Tig Notaro.
In the middle.
She chose second.
She chose in the middle.
I'm going to go first.
Okay.
Because I have a theory.
Okay.
The Hayden in the name, he has to be younger.
So I'm going to go with like 32.
Okay, 32 from Hampton.
Randy Sklar.
I'm going to say 48.
48.
Just because I think he's making the decision.
He's seen enough stand-up comedy in his time to be like,
I can do that.
Okay.
Let me go about it in the most roundabout way.
This is the act of a 23-year-old idiot.
Okay.
I agree with Hampton that it's young, Let me go about it in the most roundabout way. This is the act of a 23-year-old idiot. Okay.
I agree with Hampton that it's young,
but this is I'm out of whatever six-year college program I just did.
Right.
And FIU.
And now I'm ready.
Yep.
At Florida Atlantic Gulf Coast University. Well, Mountain Dew Factory isn't hiring.
So here I go.
All right.
Everybody who's listening and dumb people telling with us,
feel free to play along at home.
Alexander Hayden Sperber is 25 years.
And here's a picture of him.
Anybody who listens to this story.
Look at him.
He looks like he's in twilight.
He looks like the kid that they found dead in stand by me
laying by the track only he somehow looks less alive than that now you might be saying yourself
you're listening i want to see what he looks like then go over to the dumb people town facebook
page all of these get posted up there is he wearing waiting for you whenever you hear this
he's wearing he's wearing bruges i think he's wearing pavement. I love it. I love it.
That's a great story from Dumb People Town.
Before we get out of here, we got a voicemail.
You know, we were kicking around Boston Accents,
and, you know, we got a voicemail from Mark Wahlberg,
who was in that movie, was a fan, obviously.
He's a close friend of this show,
and he wants to give us a little bit of a lesson
about how to use the Boston Accents and how to properly use it. You have one new voice message.
What's up, dudes? It's Wahlberg here. Obviously, you knew that already. I just want to tell you
guys, you were talking a little bit of Boston. That's fine. Here's the deal. Don't try. You
don't, if you're trying to talk like it, everybody knows. You do this.
You kind of whisper angrily.
That's all it is.
Feel like you don't want to say the words, but you're being forced to
because the person you're talking to thinks they're better than you.
But they're not better than you.
They were just born somewhere else, and that's their problem, not yours.
All right, go see Daddy's Home 2.
Me and Will Ferrell are in it, and I kill that movie.
Wow.
Good plug for that. Fer Me and Will Ferrell are in it. I'd kill that movie. Wow. Good plug for that.
Ferrell?
Will Ferrell.
Will Ferrell Williams.
I love Will Ferrell Williams.
Well, this was super fun.
Thank you, Hampton Yacht.
Thanks for having me.
