You don't need it. Thank you. I appreciate that. She's having a resurgence, though. Can we just say? People want to put a Curtis on the end of your name. Probably. You don't need it. Thank you. I appreciate that. She's having a resurgence though. Can we just say, Oh, you can have an album.

I have a bone to pick. I was really appreciating how she was kind of sliding back. You're like, how dare you? Jamie Lee come to the fort. Can you ride some of that jet stream that Jamie Lee Curtis jet stream? You could, you could have an album just called courtesy and it's jamie lee courtesy but don't you don't put it that way but it's just called courtesy and see if any oh it's just you doing and then when people like sign off to like

thanks again for your guys jamie lee courtesy is the album oh my god yeah i put i put my middle name on my Instagram Because I was like The search results are so conflated With Jamie Lee Curtis And then I was like is that douchey Now I'm like a three name What is your middle name? Amanda

I have the most 80s name Jamie Amanda We get it Not Gen Z We get it Yeah there's no Jamie's being born right now. No Jennifer's. No Debbie's.

There's no Debbie. Oh, I loved a Crystal. Lisa? Yeah. Is anyone naming their kid Lisa these days? I feel like I will say Lisa feels quite timeless, but I will say I don't know any new Lisas. I feel like mid-80s to mid-90s is where Jenna really

had her heyday. Jenna, a lot of your Jenna's Krista. Um, so we, before we jump into the stories and we've got dumb stories, which is why we invited you here. We got to break this stuff down and thank God you're here.

Uh, we have to reminisce and talk just briefly about one of our favorite bits that we ever did involving you and with us. What was it for? It was for the VH1. Was it the O Awards? Yeah. It was like an all-night, 24-hour thing that we were hosting.

Yes or no? Is VH1 still a channel? Yes. I'm going to say no. You know that for sure? No. Maybe it just has an online presence, and it might just be on Facebook.

It also might completely be up and running. It could be thriving. But also, it could be a Facebook channel. It could be. But also it could be a Facebook channel. It could be done or it could be the best it's ever been. I really wouldn't know the difference. Like a demo that we are so far away from. He's not watching it every day. We're just out of the loop.

70 to 80 year olds are watching it. And it's an us thing. None of them. Yeah. Okay. So you guys are doing this at Warped Show. In Times Square at the TRL studios. And Jay and I were hosting like 24 hours.

Do we do all 24 hours? It was a 24 hour. It was 24 hours. Those takeovers back then were cool. Oh, I think I remember this. Those were great. This was like 2012, 2013. Back when it was cool.

It was right after we had met. I think I remember you guys going to do this. So we went there and we met the Jonas Brothers and wrote a bit with them. We met Questlove, did a bit with him and Andrew WK. We did a bit with Janine. We did a bit with Jody Lennon was so funny. But the bit we did with Jamie that we will always remember in just like the most fun way is Paris Hilton was humongous back then.

And we thought, how funny would it be if Jamie played the daughter of the Hyatts? Like the Hyatt hotels. This is already great. What was your energy? What was your what was your like rank to yourself? That's a great question. What was it? The bit was that your parents thought you were great.

Were you low status? Her parents wanted her to slut it up more to help up business for Hyatt. They're killing them in terms of like the Paris Hilton like this was helping the Hilton brand. And so they're like, we terms of like the paris hilton like this was helping the hilton brand and so they're like we're our daughters you gotta get out there and slut it up and you're a little like i don't know if that's really what i want to do good

oh yeah now it's coming back to me that's right that's right i don't know if that's what i really want i don't know if that's who i am but my parents said it and i have to do it and being a member of the hyatt family and we're like can you tell us any Hyatt specials? I can tell you about some of the specials that I can give you. You were so great. God. You were so funny. Wait, do we have video of this? I need to see it.

Where can we see it? I wish. Like maybe there's Super 8 footage. Well, after VH1 burned down, I lost a lot. Did VH1 burn down? It was so funny. And you were so great. Because we had only known you as a stand-up.

And we didn't know. We loved what you were doing. We were just like, I hope she can. I hope she can pull this off and then we were in it and we're like oh my having so much fun in the middle of this thing you forget that you're doing a bit that's what i always said that we always said about at midnight there are moments we'd be doing it and we're like forgot there was an audience forgot that we were shooting a tv show we've done that with lives like we've done live dumb people towns you forget that the audience is out there well, there's a lot of dumb out in this world, Jamie.

Are you ready to help us break it down and try and make sense of it? Or fun of it. I've been ready my whole life. God damn you. I love it. Jay, you up? I got the first story. This is sent in by Matthew Friedman at Not Your Average Matt.

I love this guy. So we have a bunch of people that sent in. It's not AVG, right? No. Not AVG. Yeah. Oh, he sent in. Okay, okay. We haven't said this in a couple of people that send us. It's not AVG, right? No. Not AVG. Yeah. Oh, he sent him. Yeah, so our friends.

We haven't said this in a couple episodes. Tell these people. So dumb boots on the ground, what you do is, if you're still on X, we are too, or Twitter. You've gone over to calling it? I'll call it Twitter. I'm calling it, hey, it's the Sears Tower, and it's fucking Twitter. Fine. Twitter.

I had a little bit of a chill when you just casually called it X. Look at my reaction. Whoa. Right. You're like, if someone calls it X, they're paying for a blue check card. I was trying. No, I was trying because I don't know if people even know what Twitter is. It's all very weird.

Someone get Jamie a coat. God damn it. So anyway, on threads. On threads. So what you do is you, it's hashtag dumb people town. I wonder, we could try threads. I don't know. Everybody's on what you like to call apps.

We have an order here in like hashtag dumb people town at Daniel Van Kirk at Sklar Brothers. And it lets us know who sent in the story first. And we're trying to, sometimes like as we put these stories together, like we're so many months back now, we're still calling through all of them. Thank you to those who send them in. And then we'll let you know. And we'll read your name on the show and so not your average man matthew friedman okay uh all right this this headline is just fabulous indian official suspended after he drains reservoir to retrieve phone he dropped while taking self what a dick wow i mean if you've got the power. To drain a reservoir? It's like Goldblum. You were so

preoccupied with whether or not you could. You never asked yourself whether or not you should. Jeff Goldblum? This guy was like yeah, from Jurassic Park. Also, he just says that casually. Which is like a metaphor for AI, by the way. True. Yeah, that is true. So the guy obviously holds a position

within the city to drain a reservoir because he wants his phone. He was taking a selfie of him at the reservoir. By the time you drain it, it's done. It's so done. Like, you can't put it on rice from there. No, the amount of rice you would need for a reservoir worth of water. Put this guy on rice. You can't even put it on basmati rice.

This is India, goddammit. We all know the streets of New York. I said this the first time I went to New York. It does not matter how long. It could be, God damn it. We all know, the streets of New York, I said this the first time I went to New York, it does not matter how long, it could be two weeks since it's rained, there is water in the gutter

in New York. I don't, it does not, I don't care where you are, there will be water in the gutter. If you drop a phone, even in one of those puddles,

gutter water, you, it's a 50-50. So there's shit on his phone that he doesn't want someone to find out about, right? My mind didn't even go there, but 100%.

That is 100%. That's the only reason. You need to know it's not recoverable. Right, wow. Okay. Yeah, because I was, there was definitely

sort of a blank spot where I was like, but why would you? Just buy a new phone. Yeah. But then I was like, maybe I don't know enough about like

iphone value like maybe the bones yes the bones of it maybe there's you could resell yes exactly but yeah no it's definitely salacious new delhi it's just one nude of him but he's that he's that scared he's like sitting on all i don't know what he does, this government official. He's a government official. That's all it says. In India. Sitting on a stack of government papers. Yeah.

Costanza-ing it. Or Burt Reynolds-ing it. So he has been suspended from his job. No shit. It's the reservoir. The water we might need. Yeah. That like in India, where I'm assuming they need it.

I guarantee someone's like, and why are we doing this? Right. And that person got fired. He ordered a water reservoir to be drained so he could retrieve his smartphone, which, dumb move for a smartphone. Not very smart. Also, if there is anything

incriminating, which I love this, which is why I'm going to go with it. This is a great way to tell everybody how important your phone is. No one knows it's in the reservoir except you there there is definitely like a brazenness to believing that people know where your phone is at all or care or care because we all it's it's either us or comics we're hanging around in a restaurant or whatever where someone who doesn't deal with people who

have this comedy disease will be like don't do that and you'll say no one here knows us no one here's gonna remember this don't who cares right this guy needs to be taken down a peg yes several pegs at all the pegs so here's the detail that i find interesting okay so he he was he ordered them to drain the writers so he could retrieve his smartphone which he had dropped while taking a selfie. Who needs to know that that's why, while he was taking a selfie? Just dropped in the water.

We hit a bump. I dropped in the water. No one needs to know that that's why. I was taking pictures of the reservoir just to make sure levels were good. You couldn't make it a work thing? I was doing a city for the city. How is this for the city?

I also think it it shows like his lack of sort of like understanding of technology because there's a timer on that thing you don't you should if you need to get a photo you set it up right you go three seconds or 10 seconds you choose your seconds and then you take the phone so it also makes him look double dumb because he can't there's no 10 seconds longer than waiting for your phone timer to go on you could do so much and no slower with the three seconds yes oh a hundred percent yeah yeah yeah or faster sorry faster faster yes yes where i'm like okay that definitely wasn't three and so you're like and they're like fine you know what i'm done fucking with three because you're not giving me time we're going to 10 and then during 10 and then you read a book and go through a relationship it's like the wave planet on

interstellar like years are passing oh yeah time is a flat circle on the 10 you're like i don't even want this picture anymore no the three seconds like one to three also can i say his excuse for what he's doing a little bit of taming of the shirt thou doth protest too much if you're telling me a lot about why you can't come into work today or what happened it's because it's something else that's the guiltiness yeah he's guilty all right food inspector maybe that's his government job i would assume rajesh vishwas dropped his samsung smartphone all right let it go already galaxy note let it go although there is people i guarantee there are townies even before and definitely now going those are the most waterproof phones like

because we will never know that's the thing too you can do whatever you want to a samsung it can make you a cake i will never know can i tell you it's iphone so we went on this like crazy hike around the mont blanc with our buddy mark and his friend friends, a bunch of friends who work at Google, and one of them had a Google Pixel thing. It took the best pictures I've ever seen. Have you ever been at a concert and seen someone with a great Samsung? It is unreal.

I've never seen it. Alright, so maybe he wanted it. Maybe he needed a Samsung. In the Caharitacata Dam in the central Indian state of Chattisgarh. You got this. You did your best. You did your best.

The Times of India. Don't turn around. Well, uh-oh. The Chattisgarh. Chattisgarh. All right. The Times of India newspaper reported this. So it's a news story.

Times of India. Feels big. It's big. Feels like a big. Vishwas first asked local divers, asked local divers to jump into the reservoir to find his device. So now he's making other people do his.

You're getting the same people who rescued a team of Thai soccer players to find your phone? Right. Sounds like it should have been. Vish wasn't. Yeah. Thank you.

The kids in the cave. Yes. Literally the most unbelievable documentary I've ever seen. Unbelievable. Okay. Well, I have to ask you then. You've watched Last Breath? Yes.

The documentary on Netflix? I watched it twice. I tell people all the time. What is Last Breath? I want you to watch it. And not just because I want you to watch it, because I want you, this is the way I'm going to get you to call me. Because as soon as it's over. You have to talk. You have to talk about it. Oh my God. You need to talk about it. You need to watch it because I want you This is the way I'm going to get you to call me Because as soon as it's over You have to talk about it

You need to talk about it You need to break it down You told me to watch the avalanche one The buried alive Lake Tahoe avalanche in 1983 It's on Amazon You have to buy it Then I don't give a shit

I can't afford it all. It is. What happened to them? They got buried in Tahoe? I think I know this. I think I learned a lot from the title there. Tell you what, Jamie, because I care about you. When you order your Amazon stuff, tell them to bring it two days later.

They'll give you enough credit to where eventually you'll just get it for free. Is that right? Do you guys ever do that? No. What? Amazon will tell you, free two-day delivery, and let's say that's a Friday. And they'll go, or we can deliver free two day delivery. And let's say that's a Friday and they'll go, or we can deliver Saturday and give you a one 50 digital credit.

And those digital credits are used towards anything. You would rent $1 and 50 cents. Usually sometimes there are more, but they'll, or even a dollar, but they'll go towards anything you rent on Amazon to watch. I'm never getting my shit delivered on time ever again. Yeah.

Yeah. It's just free. Great to know. Yeah. So my son got uh amazon gift cards for like his like 10th birthday yeah and i've used those to buy things for myself all the time yeah like i'm literally like he doesn't know he doesn't know he doesn't listen to this podcast comes out in the wash but it does make me feel so good that you've seen last breath

so many people haven't seen i haven't seen that opening I haven't seen it. Just that opening. The opening credits. I mean, there's nothing like it. Last Breath U. That's last. Okay. After initial efforts to retrieve his smartphone. Oh, this is why. He said, claimed it contained sensitive government data. Oh, really? So we're up to two excuses.

Dick pics. That's dick pics, right? Translation, you had an affair with someone in the other office. In the government. Yeah. After initial efforts to retrieve his smartphone failed, he asked for the reservoir to be emptied using diesel pumps. What? This guy. i don't know what that means but it makes it sound worse terrible you're putting your pumping yeah it sounds like just incredibly

environmentally horrible like the worst for just for his phone over the next three days how many liters of water were pumped out of the reservoir well You live by one. What's your average was? I mean, I want to say 50 million liters of water. That's a good guess. Give us a guess. I don't know any sort of liter. 51? Millions?

51 million. I love that. I'm going to go. Oh, my God. I'll go 10 million. Tell me in liters. All right. Get your answers.

Crazy. I probably would have just said seven buckets if Randy hadn't gone so. Shout it to your ham radios. He got rid of more than 2 million liters of water. You were right to be in the millions. Oh, millions, okay. I was right to be in the millions, but I was a little high up there.

Which is enough to irrigate how many acres of land? Now that we're getting into this. More goddamn ACT questions. I want you guys to know, we want you to come out of this podcast with knowledge. Two million liters of water could irrigate how many acres? 50 acres. No, no.

Five acres of land. No way. 50 acres. 50 acres. Dude, you were in thousands. And I'm saying that to be nice. I'm going to go 4,000 acres. Yeah.

I'm going to go higher just because I'm feeling fine. Why not? Because you're feeling sassy. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to say 7. 7,000 acres. Yeah. I'm going to go higher just because I'm feeling fine. Why not? Because you're feeling sassy. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to say 7. 7,000. It could irrigate at least, so you guys could be right, 1,500 acres. There you go.

All right, fine. During India's scorching summer, local media reported. So he's doing this in a bad time. In a drought. Yeah, because you don't give a shit. I don't care when you're draining the water. You don't give a shit. I don't have the video. This guy does not care about it.

I should have gotten this video. I'm sorry I didn't track it down. We'll link it in the YouTube. In videos that went viral on social media. Aaron, if you can find these videos and link it. Vishwas is seen sitting under a red umbrella as diesel pumps run to drain water from the reservoir.

What you doing, bud? Sipping a pina colada. You're doing a good job. Guys, you missed a spot over there. What you doing, bud? Sipping a pina colada. You're doing a good job. Guys, you missed a spot over there. Have you found it yet? He told local media that the water in the reservoir was unusable for irrigation. Oh, so this is where it becomes.

Water cannot be unusable for irrigation. For drinking, maybe. Yeah, non-potable water. Irrigation? Right. It's just water. That he had received permission from a senior official to drink. Not true.

Which senior official? Who told you? The one over there. Dave? There is no Dave in that office. Why are you saying Dave? That's not even in the office. You don't know the office.

Do you know which office I'm talking about? This is a common problem. People just don't verify. No, they don't check. This is where... Dumb people town. Ready? Oh, this is where?

This is where it is. This is our... We've already been there, Jamie. Terrain in the reservoir to get your phone you dropped in? The smartphone was eventually retrieved and it did not work, but wouldn't even start because it was waterlogged. Thank you. Yes!

No shit. Wow. Authorities later suspended Vishwas after he was... Just suspended? ...widely criticized for wasting water resources. The video of him went viral. Of course. India is one of the most water-stressed countries and extreme temperatures has led to severe water scarcity,

causing crops losses. This could be the death of not just people, but years of crops so he could get his smartphone. This is where I wish. Yeah, his broken phone that no one cared about. But this is where Samsung wish this is what yeah his broken phone this is what doesn't happen about but this is where like samsung goes hey guys you know what we're bringing in like they don't have to do it all but like we'll refill the water and we're like it's not on us but uh you know because he had a samsung we just we caught a stray in this and can we use this as a commercial can we use this go ahead and you're gonna give millions of people water fucking

stream it live and then dan apple comes in and we're like we're giving your four-year-olds jobs so in your face well i didn't like the end of that sentence but i like them doing something good all right there's story number one there you go uh i think uh ran's got story number two uh will we come back we'll plug what we're doing we'll let you know how you can support jamie lee and uh this is dumb people town we're off and running with the dumb don't go anywhere hey guys welcome back to the show so nice to have you here jamie lee is with us the great jamie lee is with we're gonna find out what she's got going on but first we should let you guys know what's happening with us we're doing uh a show that jamie's going to be a part of oh you're going to do it have you done tag it before no it's so fun so jamie they gave

me one that made the album yes on stage in austin you do your set jan are off to the side while you're doing your set not doing uninterrupting at all you do your set jan are writing little uh tags for the jokes that you're doing then we come on stage afterwards and we're like okay we love this bit here's a bunch of the green the green room moment happens and we pitch it to you on stage and you can take them with you and people writer's room it's the green room so fun right it's so fun so yeah and useful useful the most you'll take tags all day it's also crazy because it's the only show where you know at least two of the comics are watching your set

it's true that's so true you're like you're like you stayed for that whole show you stayed for the whole show no we are watching it's great when you do have the time and you i'm just gonna fucking hang can i tell you i like to get to shows early i don't know when this anxiety will go away but i for some reason need to like see other people go up yes like oh yeah that's how you do stand up so i get to the improv like like i want to say 20 minutes before yeah it even starts sometimes if i watch just watching two or three sets before me what you guys are doing in this show tags of like places i would go with them almost like gets me like i'm already in stay plus with the audience like nothing makes me cringe more than

when i've seen two comics talk to the guy in the red shirt and then a third comic to it. And the audience knows this guy's been talked to a lot. Because there's nothing, the biggest fear, at least for me, everybody wants to know, the audience knowing something the comic doesn't know. And when you see that, that's another great reason to get there. Like if you're going to do crowd work or talk to people, it's like, this guy's already been tapped. So you know what we're going to do? We're going to put you up later in the show just so you can see how it works and get a feel for that.

I do love that. I love being later in a lineup. Like Mark Norman came and saw the show, did the set, and then he stayed and watched the rest of the show. Because it ends up being kind of fun to try and guess where we're going to jump in and what we're going to do. What a fun. Sometimes theme shows, like, I get nervous.

I'm like, oh, I'm not going to be good at the game they're trying to play. We spin a wheel, and then you've got a yeah the fun of this show is you just come up and do your set you just do what you do and we have to we we're on the spot really for the whole night it's on us and it's but it's fun great exercise great thing so we're doing that at the belly room uh on the 13th of september you'll be on that and then the 18th we're doing it at largo uh fortune feimster pat and oswald and then the 18th we're doing it at Largo Fortune Feimster, Pat and Alice Walden two huge guests that we are not announcing but we will just tell you they are big

Oh, I said Florida. I have not planned a wedding. But what could happen, I just officiated one. I did too. Really? This past weekend. Nice.

How funny. Were you funny? I was pretty funny. Of course you were. But I also was like, you have to be serious because this is the real wedding. It's a balance.

They had a lot of things they wanted said, which I took as a like, oh, this just makes it easier for me. Great. Yeah. It's awesome. But I opened with a joke and then stuck with their whole thing. Oh, man. It's so fun to have a comedian do it.

But to go to the gun during the reception. What happened? Have you even fully settled up yet? What do you think happened? I'll tell you what happened. Have you settled up? I'll tell you exactly what happened. I'm curious if you know what's happened.

No, it's a great deal everything's included but she's bringing she's a bit much some would say all right a florida couple's marriage got off to a rocky start when the owner of their reception venue pointed a gun at them and ordered everyone to get out after a row over the music i knew it i was I was going to say music. Oh, my gosh. I was going to say music because, well, I don't know about Florida, but in California, having gotten married, anything outdoors has to be shut down by 10 p.m. They're very strict. Are you ready for a great music complaint story from my wedding?

And ours. No, from my wedding, though. You don't even know this story. This is great uh someone came up to us from who i guess the wedding planner someone said sure the franc hey someone is complaining about the loudness of the music at this thing and it wasn't past our time or anything and i'm like who the fuck is complaining about the loudness of the music they're like that woman over there. And I was like, Oh,

that's my wife's step. That is that. Yes. That is worth it. For those listening. He did a little high kick after that. And I think it's warranted. That was great.

So 10 PM is right. So it was Sunday night when we were doing our wedding or Saturday, Sunday night. I can't remember. I think it was great. So 10 p.m. is right. So it was Sunday night when we were doing our wedding or Saturday, Sunday night. I can't remember. I think it was Sunday.

How did you know? But could it be content? He ran in through the door and he went quickly through the door and he was like, hey!

This is my favorite Steve Martin movie, Cousin of the Bride and cousin of the bride okay shows this is my favorite steve martin movie cousin of the bride uh shows the i read a hundred percent watch i would watch that i don't i don't even know how is that i know and i know that it's already my favorite movie actually i've decided and i know that it goes straight to streaming that does not affect quality expectation for me father the bride would probably go straight to streaming nowadays oh which is horrifying also

cheaper by the dozen straight to streaming yeah god Oh, 100%. Which is horrifying. Also cheaper by the dozen. Straight to streaming. Godfather of the Bride is so fucking good. Oh, my God. It's literally the first one was good. And Cousin of the Bride shows the irate man waving a weapon and shouting at the terrified guest Thursday. Can you imagine you show up at this thing and like... I hope we haven't paid.

Because if we haven't settled up for the venue yet, we're not paying now. You're suing his ass. Night at Cielo Farms in Southwest Ranches. Okay, so it's the farmland. So those you should be able to have. Late? What, are you going to wake up the pigs? Have a freaking rave in the middle of the.

Thank you. Go loud, go hard. Campo said he begins to wave at everybody at the party, telling them all to get out. Get out, get out, Campo told WPLG. But he's not saying about the time. He's saying about music. About the music. Adding that the mayhem He's saying about music. About the music. Adding that the mayhem erupted during the last song of the night.

But I think it's time. The DJ told WSVN. Do you guys think it was WAP? True story. At the wedding I officiated. WAP. I waited for all the olds to leave. Get them out.

I go up to the DJ. Like, play WAP. And I go. You say you want to see this place go nuts? I hand him some cash. Of course you did. And I go. Play this., play WAP. You say you want to see this place go nuts? I hand him some cash. Of course you did. And I go, just play WAP. Please. Right?

Which feels like a slur. In our friend group, we play it every time we're at a bar. We love it. I go, play WAP. And he goes, I'm sorry. And I go, buddy, play WAP. He goes, I could tell he was a good dude. He opens up the papers he has. It says, buddy, play WAP. He goes, I could tell he was a good dude. He opens up the papers he has.

It says, do not play. All caps highlighted. The only song is WAP. And I took a picture of it and sent it to our friend group. And people lost their minds. It's the greatest. And so he goes, I got to give you your money back. And I said, no, you're doing a great job.

Keep it. You don't take a fucking tip back. For showing me that. Once you've handed it, you don't fucking take a tip back. Yeah, you can't. What if you gave you gave him a 20 he said just give me 10 oh my god he's like i have no change he's like we'll go get some uh you denying my request what i should have said i'm still giving you dry when you told me that you weren't going to play my song so give me my money hey buddy macaroni in a pot my love is i should have been like fine turn everything off give me the mic i'll sing it

i also at a wedding also in wisconsin other best friend i got drunk and they were doing a deal where the dj was having a song it was like sweet caroline and he was like people like singing along and so he gets to me and i belligerently but not belligerently like real, like putting it on. I grab kind of his wrist and hand over his hand and I just go, I have a right to see my children. That's a good bit. The next day. It's such a good bit.

You brought up a custody dispute in the middle of someone's reception. In the middle of sweet Caroline. Everyone else is bop, bop, bop. I have a right to see my children. Amanda, who married one of my best friends, Bradford. The next day, Amanda goes, I saw my mom this morning. Can we're at all like a brunch deal?

She goes, so the best man's going through some sort of real bad divorce huh there was a whole table of olds that were like that guy's going through it we saw a moment i wait for the olds to leave the olds to leave and then i do that but that sentence tells an entire story i have a right to see my children here's what i love dan i'm picturing dan because he's not at a show. He doesn't have to do stand-up. He's not like out in that. But he's just at a wedding, which is a secure. That joke was for you.

That joke is for you. And I love that you're just like, I'm just going to get drunk because I'm here with friends. I'm just going to get. I was the best man. I was the best man. That means you were in your own zone, which I love. All right. I bet you killed your best man speech.

You also, so you're on a bit of a high. I'm kind of the king of the wedding. I can do anything now. The aunts and uncles can be like, hey, they have something to talk to you about. Like when you do a cruise ship. So mayhem erupted during the last song that I DJ told WSVN that a worker at the venue ordered him to turn off the music over fears

of noise complaints, then spilled a drink on his equipment, even though he had turned the music down. So that might have been an accident. The person could have been drunk. But the worker, why does the worker have a drink? What's he doing? By this time, the entire wedding... Listen, I'm

the head dishwasher here. You guys are fucking great. You guys are fucking great, and I can tell you're in love. This is a happy couple. We get to see a lot of weddings here, and I looked at you two, and I was like, you guys have I can tell you're in love. This is a happy couple. That's what it is. We get to see a lot of weddings here. And I looked at you, too. And I was like, you guys have sex. And you're in love.

And I can tell. This guy who keeps gesticulating with a full drink. I've been here for five years. And I don't care. I come from all the way over there. Wait, wait. Why don't you wave the other hand? That's your drink hand.

It's the fullest martini ever. Olives are falling out. The worst possible glass that allows for the most slosh. A champagne glass that's really wide. Ice is coming out of the drink. That's how wildly he's throwing it around. Who drank this? It's like in Drop Dead Gorgeous when the beer is just like fused to her hand.

Yes, yes. He's like, this is the hand i use i'm sorry it just happens to have a drink in it so by the time the uh by this time the entire wedding party is aware of what's going on campo told the outlet moments later the gun wielding man whom campo identified as the owner of the venue showed up and went ballistic get out get out don't make me get out get out the man in the yellow shirt is heard saying to a terrifying footage as people flee if this man in the yellow shirt if you added a gun to curious george and made instead of man in the yellow hat man in the yellow shirt with a gun who just kept threatening people with a hat that's a better book and a better also what a fucking idiot as with with most things, no gun is needed.

None. The good time of a wedding hangs so precariously on everybody being in on it. Behave. The bar is close enough to the dance floor, all that shit, that if someone just walks in and starts yelling, get out, get out, it's going to ruin it enough anyway. You don't need the gun. Yeah, the gun is overkill.

Yes. Yeah, you just come in and be the guy who starts, the gun is overkill. Just be the guy who ruins a wedding. You have lots of power. Very easy to do. Very clear job. Dan, I have an idea for you right now. I'm going to speak it out. Is it the book again? A book. Remember you

told me that you wanted me to write a wedding book called I'll Dance With Your Aunt? I'll Dance With Your Aunt or How to Make Every Wedding the Best Wedding Ever. You should write that book. You should write that book. You know I wrote a wedding book.

I know you did. You did. Yeah. But I feel like dance is a good follow-up. Maybe we should write on it together. Let's follow up to the wedding guest. This is How to Be the Best Wedding Guest Ever.

It is such a good... Your book was about getting married, right? Yeah, and like planning a wedding. That's right. Yeah, but I feel like for it to be from the guest perspective is very cool. How to Be the Best Wedding Guest be the best wedding guest ever. Dan, you could write that book in probably four weeks. You would, I am a good wedding guest. No, but you know,

all the tricks of the trade and everything you just said, every story you have, wait, what's the name of your book? So people can get it. Um, it's called Widdiculous. It's W E I have to spell it cause it's such a weird word, it's basically ridiculous but w e d d w e d amanda amanda lee no it's called ridiculous and yes i i stand by it i read it again recently and i was like it holds up i wrote 2016 of course because you're a whole phenomenal writer and so funny all right camp said the man just started branching a gun everywhere at everybody he put it in my uncle now what if this was if it wasn't a gun it was his. He put it in my uncle. Now, what if this was, if it wasn't a gun, it was his penis. He put it in my uncle's face, put it at my cousin who got married,

the bride, put it at her head. Again, way funnier if it's his penis. Waved it at her husband's head, way funnier if it's his penis. The waving of. The waving of. He recounted. There's one uncle at this wedding that is unfazed by a gun being put in his face. He probably knows him.

He's like, oh, that's my buddy. Dale, put it away. We're doing this again? He's like Kobe when Matt Barnes tried to throw a ball in his face. That's a perfect analogy. Why am I bracing myself to get shot? All I was doing was DJing my cousin's wedding and trying to give her the last dance the DJ added. Also, I would never recommend that.

My rule is if you're the one getting married, you leave 45 minutes before the reception's over. Thank you, Dan. Party lives in your mind forever. You never saw the lights come on. Put it in the book. Put it in the book. That is a hot tip. I really like that. That's right. One woman is telling the unhinged man she just wanted to grab her purse. Honey, leave it.

We'll get it later. My gun's in there. This sort of brings up a larger thing because I feel like I had this. Have you ever stayed airbnb when like the owner is on the property yes they kind of don't disclose that in advance but they're kind of like they're like we're just over there in the side house and you're like oh okay yeah i guess that's supposed to be a comfort so they're like yeah anything you need there we're right here and i'm always a little like yes i don't and they drop us something like you go and i feel like that's kind of what's happening here is like this person probably should not have been on property yes there's someone else managing the wedding venue

aspect of his property yes and then it's like he stuck around yeah this happens in wisconsin there are literally wisconsin bars that are people's living rooms and so they'll get to a point where they're like you guys all gotta go and you're like it's 9 45 but they're like we're done but yes exactly and the airbnb people will always drop a line like we'll let you know if we need milk and i'm like i don't know i don't want to see you again no i'm living in a fake world where this is my house you don't exist yeah i'm pretending i paid for you not to be here. That's right. So wedding guest, and this is, I've never heard this name ever in my entire life. You should use this as your Instagram name. Okay.

Aixa, A-I-X-A, Figueroa, called 911. Ooh, that's a Carmen Sandiego. Aixa. Was Asia, Asia? Maybe that's Asia. Oh, maybe. Asia. Asia Figueroa.

Asia. I was terrified. I wasn't sure if I was going to be going home without a family membership. Sure, yeah. We can't't forget this would be nightmare campo described the incident on instagram where he posted the video he said the bride the bride rented the venue until what time what time did the bride rent the venue until 1 a.m what do you think I want the bride to say this so Dan if Dan was at this wedding would make the joke gun to your head was this the best wedding you've ever actually you know what i was gonna say i thought the joke would be guys just so you know somebody pulls a gun it's good luck i mean you guys are never

getting divorced you guys this is the equivalent of a bird pooping on you in italy and it rained you guys are gonna be married that means your honeymoon is going to be great. Your kids are going to turn out great. It's going to have a fruitful future. Be fruitful and multiply. Hey, wait. So what time did you say? You say 1. What do you say?

I'm going to say like 11. OK. What do you think? Can I just ask a question? We did not disclose what time this happened. No. OK. Because that's the next question.

I'm going to even say, yeah, midnight. I'll say midnight. Midnight. I say book till 11. Book till 11. Get your answers in town. It's because she had rented the venue until. Is it 10 p.m.?

11.30. Okay. In between you guys. Okay, in between us. All right. Now. What an odd time. I know.

But the worker ordered the event shut down around what time? 11. You say 11. What do you think? It's 10 p.m and i will say this i don't like an early ending uh reception but if you are in this position 11 30 is a weird time because then people go should we just go to bed it's almost midnight yeah if you end at 10 everyone will go to another bar and that's where they'll get really crazy and they won't fuck 11 30 And then they won't.

Dan, put it in the book! You too. Well, I wrote a fucking book under peer pressure, but Jamie helped so it actually was really good. Jamie writes the foreword to your book. Jamie writes the foreword. Who's your book agent? Can we work on this? Jamie writes the foreword to this

book. I'll dance with your aunt. Dance with your aunt. I'll dance with your aunt. Okay. Dance with your aunt. It's a great title. I'll dance with your aunt, how to be the best wedding guest ever. Dan, that's the subtitle. All right. We're going to write this. Jamie and I will talk about it.

We're going to talk about it. Okay. I'm going 10 o'clock is when he showed up and said, turn it down. Wait, the DJ is doing last song. I know. That's the part where I'm like, ugh. Anyways, because i feel like this is just a weird town that loves things to be on the 30s i'm gonna say a 10 30 okay town that loves

it on the 30s weather on the 30s what did you say i said 11 i said 11 last call on the 30s get your answers in town is because he the worker ordered the event to be shut down at 10.50 p.m. What is happening? You got 40 minutes. You got 40 more minutes. After an altercation, he returned with an armed man. Before I knew it, I was staring

down the barrel of his gun, and at that moment when I saw his eyes, I was prepared to be killed and was coming to terms that my children were about to lose their dad. You went a little deep. We get it. We get it. We get it.

He's trying to set the case to put this guy. I agree with him, but you frosted the cake twice. DJ, you're a DJ. I feel like you can't make that serious. You're a DJ. Your life doesn't mean anything anyway. The DJ's like, no, the DJ's like, what was going through your mind? I felt like I was going to die.

Like he keeps hitting the horn. Right. Like, I feel like you can't make that sort of a statement and then give, reveal your DJ name. I feel like my life was just remixed. I was about to cross fade off this plan. He just starts playing. I will survive.

So he's, I thought my kids were never going to have a father said DJ Scribble Scrabble. Yeah. That's great. Is that really his name? No. Put that in the book. Put that in the book. Put that in the book.

You can't do your DJ name. Oh my God. Man shows up with a gun at the wedding before the end and I said, and I stared

my own mortality in life and I wiki, wiki, wiki, wiki, wiki told him to get out. Anyway. Said DJ Sun Power. Yeah, right. Said DJ Soul Flower. mortality in her life and i wiki wiki wiki wiki wiki told him to get out anyway said dj sun power soul flower the man with the gun has been identified as miguel rodriguez how old not only is this wrong he's in breach of contract how old is miguel rodriguez albizu do you want to go Tigger last? The man holding the gun at the end. I'm going to say 60s.

Pick a year. Okay, 62. Right. 54. 47. Get your answers in, townies. I really hope it's old and deranged and not young and deranged. 58 years old. Oh!

Nice. Right there. Okay. Split us. State records cited by the Miami Herald identify Albiziso as the corporate officer of Cielo Farms Nursery, which has the same volunteer road address as the court list says the man's home. So he lives where the nursery is. Called it.

Christian Sergio Raffart. That's a hilarious name. Was also arrested in connection with the incident and charged with battery and resisting arrest. He's probably the guy who poured the drink on the machine. It just went from being like an amazing event to the one you remember for the rest of your life to an event that you're really going to remember for the rest of your life for the wrong reasons. And they'll never get another

wedding there, nor should they. You're done. You've finished the business. The owner of the Cielo Nursery Farms told the outlet that they would consult with their attorney before commenting. Dude, you're done. Cielo Farms.

And even when you sell it, the next owners have to call it new owner's nursery. Right. Like to just get everyone. Not even. Call it something else. But people, you just, the distancing. You have to distance so hard. Yeah, no one's going to ever.

Isn't that crazy? The smallest thing that can ruin a wedding, and I'm going to say this straight to Cameron. Put it in the book. Like a cash bar. The smallest thing that can ruin a wedding and i'm going to say this straight to cameron in the book like a cash bar the smallest thing that can ruin a wedding is i'm just saying there's so little then this yeah it is an enormous right this enormous thing that can ruin like a marriage our friend we were at our friend's wedding and his brother did the best man speech and it was too long too long and also like not funny and really personal and like we came outside and roast and our friend just like was ripping his brother a new ass yeah you

can't roast no jokes no well so so our friend's brother got up and spoke for way too long it was not funny and then our friend we walked outside and our friend was like what are you doing what are you doing this is what i've told people who are best men and made the book put it in the book if you roast you've immediately lost 75 of the audience thank you because half the people do not know you and don't know him so they have no context for whether this is funny or actually mean this should be and then the people who do know you and him at least half of them wish you weren't weren't doing this. So you're going for 25% of the audience. And those people are too drunk. They're the bad people.

Well, listen. Never roast. You're going to write this book. If you're going to roast, you have to have a roast consultant. You can't just free roast. You can't free roast. And you can only roast things that have happened that day. That's right.

Because everybody knows it. Yeah, you cannot go too far back. Because I was at a wedding where someone was roasting. And they were literally talking about the groom masturbating at summer camp. Already out. I'm already out. No, no, no. And I was like.

The olds are there. The olds are there, first of all. Right. And second of all, I was like, why are we? Also, what does this have to do with the bride? I'm sorry. Bring it back. It's about them, and she is part of them.

Oh, nothing better than a maid of honor or best man who starts with, they're probably going to wish they didn't ask me to do this. I already do. Right. Jamie's like, where's the guy with the gun now? Yeah. He's actually not so bad. Where's he when you need him?

Yeah. All right. That is a story. Number two, down the books. Daniel's got the third story. Hang on. Awesome. Wow. And we'll get to story number uh three

we'll tell you what dan's doing how to support him give us a little taste just a little taste of what we're going to hear in stories the law is stepping in to social problems but in a fun way okay great i like it and i love when the law gets fun uh jamie lee is with us by her uh hilarious wedding book uh which is so fun ridiculous Wediculous. Wediculous. Yeah. Wediculous. And I have a show on Netflix that's based on the book called The Wedding Coach.

Oh, shit. Yeah. Come on. Jamie Lee, everybody. We'll be right back and do the last segment together. This is so much fun at Dumb People Town.

Stick around. Make us down. There's more Dumb People Town. So I've been through the engagement process. Randy has as well. Both of you have done it once. We've done it once.

And I will say that when thinking about what that experience was, going into the store, you have someone who's there. You probably don't know anything. You don't know anything. And they're like upselling you all the time, all the way. You kind of lose your agency when you're in the store because they're like, if you care, you want to go from this to this and you want to go from this to this. And if you get lucky, you've got somebody who's like,

oh, I got a guy. But even then, it's like, I don't know anything. Most people don't know where to start. They're like, we like this. And then they're like, no, no, no, this is what you should get. And before you know it, you're in this whole sort of battle with this person in the store

who's trying to upsell you into some other thing. You lose your ability to be creative. So what should people do to avoid all of that? They need to go to jamesallen.com where you take control of the creative process. James Allen.com is the online destination for designing a customized engagement ring that she or he'll love more easily than you ever thought. It is so easy, Dan. You've been on it.

When you go in and you go to the site, you literally can go, do you want to go by style? Do you want to go by metal? Do you want to go by customizing it from scratch from your own?

Do you want to start with a setting, a diamond, lab created, start with a gemstone?

nothingness, nothing. After two weeks, there's a fine involved. You can find community service and by the way i say that as someone who accidentally ghosts people all the time because i'm horrible at remembering to text back i have and people i love but if you had a punishment but if you're not talking about relationships i actually what well first of all i was talking

about relationships but then i realized it would even help me if there was a fine because i would step up my game to make sure that i'm replying to all the texts yeah you can say edit this out what how many unread texts do you have on your phone danis it's quite a lot it's really open it up like we were on we were on 127 over there her phone's over there it's just more like people think i'm mad at them because i didn't respond.

sorry fellow young adults our days but it's everyone i've people in their 60s i'm like text me back yeah right uh sorry fellow young adults our days of ignoring our problems until they go away might be numbered representative arnolfo tevez jr atj i've been doing something about it of the nationalist campaign on this people's coalition has proposed a bill in the republic of the philippines house of representatives that could criminalize the act of ghosting or cutting off online communication with another person. Well, he proposed the bill and then they said, what are you going to do? No, he never got that. He was absent for the vote.

He never showed up for the vote. He was absent for the vote. Bro, where are you? And then when they all go to leave, he barges in and he goes, see? See how bad it feels? It really stinks. I was proving a point. The bill titled, An Act Declaring Ghosting as an Emotional Offense.

We can punch, we can tighten that up. Also, emotional offense is like pretty cool. Yeah, it is. Can you imagine texting that to people? You have committed an emotional offense. How about Jamie Lee's new album, Jamie Lee, Emotional Offender? Emotional Offenderender Emotional offender And then my title my little like

Whatever the subtitle would be Big tits bad attitude I have that shirt Underneath that it would be like The grass is always greener Yeah there you go It just keeps going it's like the chart at the eye doctor Which line can you read?

How small? Yeah. You need a magnifying. You have to keep doing this to open it up to read the bottom. One News Philippines likens ghosting to emotional cruelty, arguing that ghosting is a form of spite. I don't know. That doesn't mean spite.

It's just mean. Apathy. It's cruel. It's so mean. It's insensitive. That develops feelings of rejection and neglect. Ghosting has adverse effects on the develops feelings of rejection and neglect ghosting has adverse effects on the mental state of the one being ghosted and although some people earn it

uh and his or her emotional state that would be interesting if they were like well we'll review the communication and find out if you actually deserve to be ghosting there's actually no offense here right they have to do that right you can't just blanket statement nope you gotta do both sides speaking for the shittier side of the two sexes traditionally sure uh just on murder rate alone some dudes deserve yeah a lot of men deserve it look there aren't a lot of moms that go out for a pack of cigarettes and never come back that's the ultimate ghost that is true that's the classic yeah classic uh it has adverse effects on his or her emotional state and is adversely affected as he or she will be constantly thinking of the welfare or the unexplained reasons of the one who i'm getting a vibe this guy got ghosted well see what's funny i first that's where my mind went

then i go what if he is like the shoulder that has been leaned on too hard by yes by a close friend who has refuses to go to therapy using him as the you know landing pad and he's just done and he's like you cannot ghost or you're gonna be like my stupid friend everybody's amateur therapist so that he can then say take it up with the law to his friend you have a you have a legal leg to stand on right now yeah yeah i'm helping you so you don't have to bother me you don't have to bother me. You don't have to call me anymore. I did it, all right? The ambiguity, which I'm proud of myself for saying,

with ghosting is that there is no real closure between the parties concerned. And as such, it can be likened to emotional cruelty and should be punished as an emotional offense because of the trauma it causes the ghosted party. I agree. Unless they deserved it. That's right.

The bill was initially proposed on June 30th. This was a while back. Somebody could give us an update please and was read in the house of representatives on july 27th actually it was left on red at the house of that's horrible they left it on red that's so awful they left on red it's currently pending the government's health committee and is unclear whether or not it will actually pass forward the person writes in parentheses i bet it won't really you didn't want't want to paraphrase. Wow. That's injecting something in there. The bill also doesn't stipulate what the penalty for ghosting will be and how the potential law could be enforced.

Well, then, come on. You haven't even fully written this. Yeah, I feel like this is. We need to enforce. But if anybody wants to find out any of our boots on the ground, tell us. I want to find out. But what would a good penalty be before we get out of here? I like the fine.

Let's say a fine. If you can prove it in court. out of here? I like the fine. Let's say a fine. If you can prove it in court. It should be like a parking ticket fine. I think it's a parking ticket. Exactly. It has to be a number that annoys you. I get so mad. That you can afford, but you hate it.

And you know that it doubles in two months. But wait, parking fine goes to the government. So does the full amount of money go to the person you've ghosted? Yes. So the government. So does the full amount of money go to the person you've ghosted? Yes. So the government doesn't get any. The government can take, because they were the ones who implemented it. So I'll,

I say they can take 10% and then my first thought was that it should go to some sort of service that helps people like victims of domestic abuse. Sure. But then I thought the people would ghost and feel good about it being like, well, at least I'm donating. So fuck it. I'll go to this person.

Right. You can't go to something. It has to go to something shitty. What if it went to refilling reservoirs where government officials threw their phones at you? All the way around. We brought it back. Or you have to send the,

you have to personally send the person you ghosted through Venmo, so it has to send them a message. So now you are in this chain again and then you have to check and see if they got it or else the fine doubles and if you got ghosted and you respond

with got the money thank you what have you been up to you have to send the money back to them you can't you can't re-initiate it is closed between the two of you you can't even write it feels good to see to hear from you awesome To hear from you. Awesome to hear from you.

I read about your aunt. I'm sorry. In fact, I'll even go a step further and say that if they reach out, the person who goes to you, don't respond. Give it back to them a little bit. You have to. At least. I think it's not an emotional, you're not an emotional offender if you were the one

who initially had, then you're just being responsible for your own well-being. But you are allowed to like start typing something. So on their phone, they'll see the three dots and then delete it. Days. I think they see the dots for days. Dots for days. Dots for days is underneath the app. Soya Screens. Dots for days. And you share location

but it's not actually yours. And so they think that they know what you're up to and you're living a great life. Can we create some app or something that sends like a three dots that are moving like that? You're going to be so cool. And you just do that and then disappear. It allows you to disappear. It's how has no one created that.

And instead of three dots, it's three little ghost eyes. Or it goes for extra money. It will send something. And within two seconds undo send so that if the person just sees daniel van kirk on sent a message yeah god that's that's the worst that's even because you because you then have to figure out a cool way to be like well what were you what were you saying what what did you send that you then had to recant? Nothing. Nothing. It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. Or they don't respond to that. Yeah. So good, Ken. I love it. I really love how we're trying to put an end to ghosting, but then we're fully on board with revenge and pettiness. Right. That is cool.

That's cool. In our scenario, it's deserved. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Everybody deserves it. It's retaliation. If you're allowed to do jail, it's guilty. Mindful retaliation.

I'll make it a flowery term. The way emotional offender. That would be a great book to mine. We've already written so many. You guys are doing this book. Yeah. And you guys are lit agents. Yes.

I love it. Jamie, thank you so much. I love having you on this show. You always make everything great. That should do. Love you guys. This is so fun.

And oh shit, we got to get back to work. We'll see ya. Stick around. Love you guys. This is so fun. And oh shit, we got to get back to work. We'll see ya.
