a scream. It's just an audible
scream. It starts on the 1st and
ends on the 30th. Let me ask you this
because we ask all of our guests this,
and I'm curious to think to get your take on this, Jenny,
but do you think the world is getting dumber?
Have we gotten dumber in the pandemic or do you think we may get smarter out
of this?
Oh no.
No, we're still dumb.
No,
you have an entire generation of people who will not have gone to school in
like any real sense.
Sure.
Right.
That's right.
Who've stared at a computer for ad nauseum who have no social skills.
Yep.
Um,
and,
and they're,
you're just going to have a whole generation of just really dumb,
dumb people.
Yeah.
That's where I think maybe Jen's was maybe Gen Z is like
the 21 to whatever.
They're the last
smart
group and everyone before
them is just going to be a bunch of fucking idiots.
There we go.
You got to go back to the beginning of the alphabet.
Gen AA. I do have to keep
going. What is going to be after Gen AA?
Or start doing like
Numbers
Roman numerals
But sometimes they just give out names
Like millennial
Yeah
Like sometimes you'll get a name
Baby boomers
This should be the pandemic generation
Yeah
The pandy gen
The pandy gen
The pandy gen

You're not the pandy gen
No
You're the smart gen
I am not
And I'm supplying you
To help us That's right In this story We're going to Jen and I'm so employing you to help us in this story.
We're going to break down one story that we get
sent to us from our amazing fans. Dan's going to
break it down and we'll get into how people
are calling it. Okay, you guys ready? I'm excited.
Here we go. Sent in by NotThatKindOfDoctor
at Dr. B
Money. But what kind of a doctor is
that? Is this a Jill Biden
thing? A Jill Biden doctor?
He's got a PhD in being a player.
Someone asked, where's all the outrage to Dr. Kvorkian?
At Dr. underscore B.
Why don't you put that heat on Dr. Julius Irving?
Dr. J.
How about Dr. Phil?
Thank you.

No.
Ready for this headline?
Tennessee man went to cemetery to meet date already all that is a dead on arrival
okay i already have a comment about this let's hear it uh i love going to the cemetery i was
right next to cemetery if someone was like do you want to go have a picnic in the forest memorial
cemetery i'd be like you're my soulmate
let's do this oh my god see that takes stones to do something like that have you been to the
tombstones have you ever been to the hollywood hollywood forever cemetery i haven't i haven't
been to that one it's cool didn't uh jodorowsky recorded his special mausoleum i think that is
where rory Scoville proposed.
Was that like one of those movie screenings?
Have you been down to the cemeteries?
The mausoleum is the above ground in New Orleans?
Yes.
So yeah, New Orleans.
Those are awesome.
You can't bury anyone in New Orleans
because it's water that's like about a foot or two below.
So they're all like above ground.
I mean, that famous scene in Easy Rider
when he's tripping and freaking out down in New Orleans
at that thing.
It's pretty beautiful.
But like what goth dating app is where you're like,
she said she'd be like, she'd be like, you're my soulmate.
Jenny's probably on the goth app.
Are you on the goth app, Jenny?
It is called the goth dating app for sure um okay
it's called dark full title though full title then tennessee man or full title full uh headline
tennessee man went to cemetery to meet date instead someone shot at him I mean It was me Jenny I did it
Don't
Also like
You're in the right place to die right
That's a moment where you're like
Why couldn't I just get catfished
Like this is way worse than fishing
This is hunting
Yeah but
That sounds still like a catfish
I would agree
Monroe County
I did
I'm
You know I'm
Binging Parks and rec right now.
And the Jason Manzoukas is line that this,
my son and I laughed for like 35 seconds and we had to rewind and watch it
five times when he's saying,
well,
there's a guy crying in the corner over there.
He's like,
don't worry about him.
Don't look at him.
Just treat him like a foreign man who you just paid $25,000 to hunt.
So maybe this is one of those situations, right?
Like the dating app is like also a human hunting app.
The most dangerous game or whatever that little short story was.
Yeah, most dangerous game.
Right?
So you pay.
Or surviving the game, the iced tea classic.
Right.
So you pay a lot of money to be on this dating app, and they reach out.
Half the dating app is like billionaires who want to hunt a human.
Sure.
And the other half of the dating app are unknowing people who are like,
meet me in a cemetery.
Are you into death stuff?
Right.
And maybe it's one of those things where it's like,
Not yet.
Shoot him.
You're going to be.
Shoot him, and you don't have to dump the body.
We'll just roll them over into that hole
over there uh yeah an eastern tennessee man apparently was looking for love in all the
wrong places oh my god love good news someone take a shot at this you think they're hiring
over there at the tennessee for comedy writers i always wondered like wouldn't it be funny if
like common like comedians started writing, like, local news journalism?
Oh, my God.
It would be great.
But made it really funny.
Yes.
We could do it.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, a Toledo Plains man went to a cemetery expecting to meet a date.
Instead, a man shot at him, and it shot at him how many times?
How many times did a guy try and shoot at him shoot at me once
once and i shame on right once is like i'm leaving no no you say four jenny says four i'm gonna say
four what based on what why do you think it's four oh is that my dog it's like what's that noise just saying that's just my dog breathing um i would say okay so the first
time is like okay whoa yeah whoa what do you want and then the second time is like oh no i'm over
here and then the third and fourth time we're like oh my god i like you okay dance for me
shooting at your date is the ultimate negging, right?
Yes.
Mystery would be like, this is how you're going to get away.
But I just imagining him showing up and then there's a gunshot that like
knocks his hat off his head and he turns.
He's like, Jenny, I'm trying.
I can't hear you.
Either someone is shooting and I'm trying to talk to you.
All right.
Jenny says four.
I'm going to say seven, seven. I'm going to say seven.
Seven?
I'm going to say 12.
Okay.
We're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, we will find out which one of you is exactly right.
Oh!
Yeah.
Can we also say what gun was used?
It will, yes.
Okay.
We'll finish the story and do that when we get back stick around
hey guys welcome back to uh this very special episode friday episode of dumb people town

z-i-g-r-i-n-o what a great tick tock instagram what are you doing what are you doing on the
tick tocks yeah like what i'm gonna find so the tick tock is a lot of me just repurposing my
stand-up and then yep and then um i've been doing i did a couple sketches earlier in the pandemic when depression wasn't so
sweeping and horrifying.
And then today
I posted a story which I'll
talk to you guys about, which is my dumb story.
Which also
very related to
death and cemetery.
It's so
strange. What a coincidence.
How serendipitous.
Death becomes us all.
All right.
So when we left, you guys were trying to guess how many times our date got shot at in the cemetery.
I said, I said.
Jenny said four.
Jay said seven.
I said 12.
And Dan said one of you.
Is exactly right.
So now, Jenny, we get to play the game.
Who do you think is exactly right?
You're going to stick with four?
Do you think it's Jay's seven? Or do you think is exactly right? You're going to stick with four? Do you think it's Jay's seven or do you think it's my 12?
I want to stick with four.
Good.
Okay, because the gun I'm imagining is like an old Western style revolver.
Sure, a revolver.
That's what I'm thinking.
Maybe it's a ghost.
Do we ever think that it might be a ghost?
Maybe it's a ghost.
Dude, we are in a cemetery
I know
I said seven
I say twelve
I'm gonna stick with mine
Yeah we're sticking with our choices

Right. Guys, if we were watching...
McJunkin over here. If we could flash this back
10 or 12 years, whatever it was, and you were
watching a game of Vince McMahon's
XFL, and on
somebody's jersey on the back.
It said Mick Junkin.
You would think like, oh, that's another one of those joke name jerseys.
Like, no.
Or he's just got a really gigantic schlong.
Yeah.
Magic Mick Junkin.
Keith Brandon.
My favorite Schunkin movie.
Was arrested.
Maybe Keith does have a huge schlong.
I mean.
I mean, to have the balls to just shoot at someone.
And then light a car on fire.
You'd be Mick Junkin.

in her trunk.

That's my version of the Antiques Roadshow.
Jenny's McJunkin' in the trunk What we got
And then when you don't like it
You light it on fire
He was arrested
That's great
If I don't like this 18th century tapestry
We're going to light it on fire
And take two shots at you
That's how we do on McJunkin'
If I don't like this figurine that your grandma
bought in Nepal, we are going to
set it on fire. We're going to have to McJunket.
He was charged with theft of a property
under $1,000, arson, aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm,
driving on a revoked license.
I mean, he's touching all the bases, McJunket.
Where's the theft, though? What did he steal?
According to the Monroe
County Deputy Jason Johnson, that's the deputy, though? What did he steal? According to the Monroe County Deputy,
Jason Johnson, that's the deputy,
the victim said he went to DeHart,
it's all in the DeHart,
DeHart Cemetery, also known as
Holly Springs Baptist Church, to meet a woman
for a date at around 8.30pm
while the victim
waited in his 2000 Ford
Expedition. You don't need to shade my car. I'm doing the victim waited in his 2000 Ford Expedition. Like, you don't need to
shade my car. I'm doing the best I can.
McJunkin
allegedly came
out of the woods, which I feel like McJunkin
by some sort of old, like,
elven ritual has to announce
himself when he leaves the woods.
McJunkin! Do you know how they say, like,
release the Kraken?
Release the McJunkin. Like, McJunkin is McGruber's Mor Kraken? You release the McJunkin.
Like, McJunkin is McGruber's Moriarty, right?
McJunkin!
Yeah.
So when he leaves, he says McJunkin out?
Yes.
Yep.
Listen, babe.
You just got McJunkin.
Speaking of Parks and Rec, that's what I was going to say.
Babe, you got McJunkin.
You got McJunkin.
McJunkin.
Okay.
While the victim waited in his 2000 ford expedition mcjunkin allegedly came out of the woods near the cemetery and walked toward
the vehicle the victim said mcjunkin leveled what appeared to be a 22 caliber rifle yep fired three
shots at the driver's side window the victim said that he as he drove away mcjunkin allegedly fired
four more shots near the rear of the vehicle.
The victim then jumped out of the car.
You're in the car driving.
Stay in the car. This is how you get away.
No, I want to stay in the car.
He hates this car.
He hates these cans.
If you want it, McJunkin, you can have it.
More cans.
He said that he jumped out of the car, ran into the woods.
He later asked his sister to return to the cemetery to get the vehicle leave her out of
this sis can you do me a favor what do you need i left my car at de hart cemetery could you go get
it for me can you imagine anything i need to know why'd you do that brother yeah it was a date it
was a date so it went pretty well you left your car there huh well where their fireworks? A lot. I got fired on. She took her shot
and I didn't like it.
I think
that these two things
are unrelated.
I think McJunkin
come out of the woods
is unrelated to the date.
Agreed.
I think McJunkin
is an old Tennessee ghost
of a moonshiner.
Yep.
Yes.
You got an old Tennessee McJunkin.
You got an old Tennessee McJunkin.unkin you got an old tennessee mcjunkin he defends the cemetery yeah
from dates he just did what ghosts do and the girl was late she she showed up in a car
imagine being late to the day and you show up watching one person shoot at another person while
they drive their car away and then jump out and run it's like being back to the future but 10
minutes early here's the deal so then this guy and she comes home and she's like i told you these apps are terrible so this
guy goes back home said no get out there runs through the woods he's banned in his truck at
the heart cemetery with mcjunkin he gets home or to his sister's house whatever and he asked his
sister to return to the cemetery to go get his vehicle wouldn't someone have to drive is she
supposed to walk yeah here that's not the point. She goes,
then she comes back
and tells him
that she went there,
but the vehicle was on fire.
This is when McJunkin said,
you leave me a car,
I'm setting it on fire.
That's right.
The woman,
this is the sister, I guess,
managed to put the blaze out
and then drove the vehicle home.
Dude, greatest sister ever.
She's the coolest sister ever.
This woman needs a date.
The victim said that a 14 inch subwoofer
and a stereo amplifier were missing from the expedition along with a cell phone and a pouch
containing 30 in coins i was going to make a guess but i also just felt like it was weird enough to
say 30 in coin and a pouch which you know was a Crown Royal pouch. Yeah, exactly. You know it was a Crown Royal pouch. A velvet pouch.
Look, there's a coin shortage.
We all know why.
Yep.
It's because of this guy.
Deputies arrested McJunkin the next day.
If we have it ready, we're now going to bring up a picture of McJunkin for you guys to see.
I'm so excited.
And then we're going to guess how old is Keith Brandon McJunkin.
Brandon.
Okay, here's what he looks like.
He looks like his head is being pressed down by an immovable force.
He looks like he's auditioning to be like a picture in Ripley's Believe It or Not.
And they're like, no, it's not squished enough, buddy.
He's Jim Norton in the Jim Norton story.
I'm telling you, he's a ghost moonshiner.
Look at that face.
He looks like the guy who's the baseball clown guy who lost all of his teeth
before he lost all of his teeth.
Bitter beer face.
By the way, if you want to see what this guy looks like, follow us
on Facebook. Don't people tell Facebook
page. All right. How old do you
guys think you're getting to look at him?
And you know that can be deceiving,
but you can also go with just whatever you feel.
How old is this
piece of McJunkin?
Jenny, you can go go with just whatever you feel. How old is McJunkin? How old is this piece of McJunkin? Jenny, you can go first, second.
I'm going to say 32.
Okay.
32.
That's an interesting...
Again, sometimes pictures can be deceiving.
I think he's 43.
43 years old from Randy Sklar.
36.
36.
Okay.
So, Jenny says 32.
I say 43.
Jay says 36.
Jay says 36.
Jay says 36.
We will get out of here on this,
unless you are a Patreon member,
which means you're going to get to hear Jenny tell a dumb story of her own, from her own life.
So join the Patreon if you want to get on that,
plus so much more.
But I will tell all of you
that Keith Branding McJunkin
is
39 years old.
