Starting point is 00:02:41 No idea what that is. Oh, thank God. Piyosh sounds like, it's like a Cuban dish. It's like when you take a banana and you fry it up and you try and fuck a chicken with it. That's a piyosh. It's probably delicious. You're tied to a Cuban man. I know. Isn't there a brioche bun?
Starting point is 00:02:58 There's a brioche bun. Yeah, a brioche is very, given the option, I always ask, can I get that on the brioche? Brioche bun. But I'm looking at this piyosh, you know when you're at work or in our line of work, maybe a table read, and you're like, I am going to say this word wrong in front of everybody. That's what I felt like. You see the car crashing. It happens at any line of work.

Starting point is 00:03:25 Love it. Four people were arrested Friday after being found in possession of four vehicles believed to be stolen from a Tesla dealership. You're going big. That is grand prize theft auto. Well, they're saying if we take these off the lot, no one's going to hear us leaving, right? That's very true. Nobody expects it. Have you guys been in a Tesla?
Starting point is 00:03:47 Have you ridden in one? I have. Never. Have you? Have you ridden in a Tesla? No. I've ridden in a fucking Tesla. I heard it's the weirdest thing because there's no inertia.
Starting point is 00:03:53 It just moves. You know, when you get in an old car and you feel that old, like I used to have a Chevelle. That was my first ever car. And you would hit that and it would kick you back, right? The four-door Chevelle? I had a four-door Chevelle. What was your first car? What was your first car that you owned?
Starting point is 00:04:07 A 73 LT Camaro. Yes! Oh, Jesus Christ. The biggest piece of shit. The biggest piece of shit ever. Two-door. Two-door, type LT. I bought it for the stereo.

Starting point is 00:04:38 but this was all for the stereo all for the stereo I love it that was me you had to put oil in the stereo. I love it. Gung, gung, gung, gung, gung, gung, gung, gung. Yup, exactly. That was me. You had to put oil in the fucking front seat because it dripped oil.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And remember you used to be able to say this? You never hear this anymore. You're going to flood it. Yeah, you're going to flood it. You're going to flood it. Oh, I flooded that fucking thing a thousand times. Me too. I put that under the George Washington Bridge.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Really? And left it? I left it there. Say goodbye. With a nickel bag in the front seat. Come back at night and it's gone. Gone. That was the hot spot.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Yeah. It was known for years. That was the place where people- Just go right over the bridge. On which side? On the Jersey side? On the New York side. On the New York City side.
Starting point is 00:05:16 And it goes underneath. Make that exit before you hit the Henry Hudson Parkway or whatever. Sure. The West Side Highway. And there'd be cars lined up. Just for people to take. People that just abandoned ship. Really?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Now it's 1-877-CARS-FOR-KIDS. No. Stop. We can't. Don't even put that in my mind. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put that in your ear. Hilarious.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Hilarious. I can't believe you called. Yes, I had a 1972 four-door Chevelle, 350 stock, greatest car I ever owned. You love that car, man. Oh, absolutely. First car we ever had was a Pontiac 6000. No, yeah, Pontiac 6000 LE. Probably like 1984.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Nice. In style, Jess. Horrible car. Horrible car. Of course it was. Great stereo. We drove it over a median one time and ruptured the oil. The whole bottom part of the car.
Starting point is 00:05:59 And then we had to sell our old baseball cards. Just to pay for it so our parents wouldn't know. So we're like parting with like a rookie Tom Seaver. Hey, you grew up in that moment. Yeah. No, I'm serious. That's growing up. Well, look, we said we fucked this up.
Starting point is 00:06:11 We can't put this on our parents to do. Like, see, I want my kids to take that responsibility. You make a mistake, it's on you. Yeah, why do we care so much? We were like responsible. Are you ready to hear who did this? Yeah. William Weist, or Weist, W-E-I-S-T.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Gone Weist mode. I know. Like the Diane Weist of thieves. He went Weist mode. William Weist, Shane Smith, Zachary Hallman, and Earl Lean Parker. Now- Earl Lean Parker. Sounds like a pimp.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Those three people's ages- It's like iceberg slim. Those three people's ages. It's like iceberg slim. Those three people's ages span three decades. Okay. I want you guys to guess which one of them is a teenager. I'm going to read you the names again. Okay. Which one of these names belongs to a teenager?
Starting point is 00:06:57 To a teenager. William Wiest, Shane Smith, Zachary Hallman, Earlene Parker. Shane Smith. Shane Smith from Joey Cocodillas. Hallman. Zachary Hallman. From Jason to Zachary Hallman. I think it's Zachary Hallman, too.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Coming in at a nice 19 years old when they're stealing Teslas. She's barely a teenager. Zachary Hallman. Yo! Knew it. Felt it. William Wiest, the oldest one at 31. The other people are in their 20s.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Okay, here we go. William Wiest, Shane Smith, Zachary Holman, and Earl Lean Parker. Is that a crew? Does that constitute a crew? Four people? Wait till you hear about this crew. They were all arrested in connection to an apparent burglary and theft of vehicles at a Tesla dealership located at, get the walking town, dumb people town walking tour
Starting point is 00:07:45 ready, located at 2312 South State Street, according to South Salt Lake Police Detective Gary Keller. I'm going to show you guys these four people, and it will fit so well with what they do. And we won't be able to tell who's the teenager. No, you probably won't. Oh, my God. Look at these folks. That'll be up on the Facebook page.
Starting point is 00:08:05 That's Earl Lean. Oh, that's a guy. be up on the Facebook page. That's Earl Lean. Oh, that's a guy. That's Earl Lean. Yes. That's crazy shit. Earl Lean is- What's the black chick do? She's Earl Lean.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Earl Lean. It's not Earl and then his nickname is Lean. Right. It's Earl Lean. Also, and I don't want to disrespect her name at all, but to me, that is a dad who was determined to name a child after him. Yeah. His name is Earl, and God damn it, we are naming this kid after him.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Earlene. Earlene. Earlene. One guy, quote, one guy claimed, this is of the people that the cops caught. Here we go. One guy claimed a family member had died and left them all his stuff, but two of them actually said the car was given to them by a man named Tesla. In Salt Lake City.
Starting point is 00:08:48 In the middle of the night. We've all been in that moment where you get caught. Yes. And you got to go with the lie that comes up. Right. I mean, you either have the lie that you were building for a while or whatever. Or you're trying to think on your feet. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I mean, I'm sure you've been in that scenario. You got to think on your feet, Jack. You got to think on your feet. Right. I mean, I'm sure you've been in that scenario. Oh, you got to think on your feet, Jack. You got to be on your feet. Why? Because they fucking going to, they re-ask you the story a thousand times. Yeah, that's the thing that they get you. Until they get you. Well, let's go back at it again.
Starting point is 00:09:17 How'd this start? Well, you just said before that he picked you up at one. Did it fucking matter he picked me? You know what I'm saying? Like that. Right, right, right, yeah. It just never ends. You got to think on your...
Starting point is 00:09:26 You know, I learned how to improvise going in front of judges. Really? Yeah, that's how you learn how to improvise. A lot of yes-and-ing? You don't have to waste your time at Groundlings and all that shit. Just get into trouble and go to the court system. Just get into trouble and go in front of a judge. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:39 You learn how to improvise like a motherfucker. I'm sure you do. I'm sure. Groundlings, 1, 2, 3, and 3 months. 90 days. Of course. Why is Joey Diaz in the touring company of Court?
Starting point is 00:09:49 Yeah. Court TV. The bizarre chain of events began around 1 a.m. when a Utah Highway Patrol trooper conducting a traffic stop near the Tesla dealership noticed a Tesla car
Starting point is 00:10:01 stop behind the trooper's squad car. So this crime literally rolled up behind the car. Yeah, if you see a cop, you might want to turn a different direction. The trooper. If you see a cop, Joey, and you're doing something wrong, do you pull up right behind him? Right next to him. You pull up right next to him? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Why? Because that avoids suspicion. Right. I thought this the other day. You guys tell me what you think. If you were a cop and kind of like sparsely populated highway or interstate whatever you're pulled over watching you know doing a little speed trap and somebody drives by with two people in the car okay
Starting point is 00:10:34 and the two people look straight ahead the whole time they go past you or the two people look right at you which one are you more suspicious of the people look straight ahead right yeah now the people who looked at you that's what they picked that's what they're looking for really because i wondered they're looking for those signs okay because i wondered if a cop would be like there's no way those people did something and then stared me down the whole way but you're saying joey that the staring down is a person being like oh they're right there yeah they're right there i would i wonder which is more if you're rolling a joint, we're rolling a fucking joint. And this idiot's doing 65 and a 50.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Yes. And I look up to him and I go, slow down, we're rolling a joint. And I look and there's a cop car I'm going to look at. It's just the way the eye catches it. Yeah, and you're caught. It's not that you're thinking about it. Right. You look up and there's a cop car.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Yeah. And you know this dummy's fucking speeding. Yeah. And you know this dummy's fucking speeding. Yeah. Or you know this dummy's got a body in the trunk. And when you tell your friend to slow down because there's a cop there going to slam on the brakes too hard. There you go. So now you're like, should I not say anything and keep going at this speed? Phrases I've never considered in my life.
Starting point is 00:11:39 You know this dummy's got a body in this trunk. Yeah. You know this dummy's got something in the trunk. Have you ever been in a car where their body's been in the trunk? I know there's something in the trunk. I don't ask. I just take the ride and shut my fucking mouth. And make sure nobody's sitting right behind you in the car.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Yeah, no. That's it. That's it? You got to go? The trooper, believing the man driving the car wasn't the owner of the vehicle, no, just that's kind of a cop dick move also, too. Yeah, but he knew. He's up being right but he's also gonna that guy doesn't have a tesla right look at zachary holman well okay i i look if i see a
Starting point is 00:12:12 mini cooper come pulling up next to me i know in in the back of my mind that i'm not gonna see joey diaz at the wheel i know i'm gonna see like some young girl like who's at the wheel the thing if i see like a rolls royce roll up i know i'm'm not going to see some ragged 24-year-old with a long beard. That's not happening. I'm going to see an old white dude who's sitting in this car. There are some things where you see the car and you immediately know who's going to be sitting in it.
Starting point is 00:12:41 By the way, you could be a young internet stud. Crushing Salt Lake City. But then you wouldn't have... Yeah, maybe a Tesla. I don't know, but look, but as a cop, you say to yourself that seems weird. At 1 a.m. to see this. So he sees the person pulls up behind him. He then calls for
Starting point is 00:13:00 another officer while he conducted a traffic stop at a Salt Lake City police officer. Another one arrived on the scene to investigate. Keller said the man identified as Smith. So for us, that would be Shane Smith. Oh, I said Smith. Most of Utah. You just described a lot of Utah with a last name Smith.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Keller said the man, Shane Smith, had a bag of keys and told police he had come to return the vehicle. Yeah, you know, when you want to return a vehicle, you say, what's a good time to drop back off the vehicle? 1 a.m. 1 a.m., 2 a.m., 3 a.m. With a whole bunch of other keys. Yeah, he got a bag of keys. That's fucking crazy. Quote, I don't know if he had a
Starting point is 00:13:40 guilt complex or whatever, but he claimed his name was Tesla, and once police started talking to him, he didn't want to talk to police anymore. He wanted an attorney. By the way, I'm Dave Tesla. Even the guy who owns Tesla's last name is not Tesla. I know. It's Elon Musk.
Starting point is 00:13:56 This guy does not know that. He thinks, oh, it's just like Bob Chevrolet. So that's a bad improviser. This to me is like the moment in Brokeback Mountain when she's like, after Jake Gyllenhaal gets killed and she's talking to Heath Ledger. And she's like, hey, one of his bashes scattered over Brokeback Mountain. Said it was the most special place that he's ever had in his life. And he says, we went ranching out there for like a summer back in 65 or something. We went ranching out there for a summer back in 65 or something.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And in that moment, he gave up the piece of information that allowed her to know that she got it all. So this guy saying his name's Tesla, kind of a piece of information that allows people to know he's fucked up. I love that he's a bad enough criminal to return the car in the middle of the night with all the keys, but a good enough criminal to go, I'm done talking to you. Where's my attorney? He wants law and order. That's it. He wants law and order to go, I'm done talking to you, where's my attorney? He watched Law and Order. That's it. He watched Law and Order. I don't have to talk to you.
Starting point is 00:14:49 It's crazy how criminals are dumb. By nature. But dumb things happen when you're doing crime sometimes. One time I was robbing this jewelry store, and I was robbing it right around this time of the year. I was going back to Jersey in February, and I wanted to make, like, I wanted to have a party, so I knew I could rob this jewelry store.
Starting point is 00:15:12 And I had this jewelry store. I planned it out, the whole thing. Had you been in there before? Oh, yeah. I cased the whole fucking mall. I would rob the mall every other month just on principle because they wouldn't have alarms. It was Colorado in 83.
Starting point is 00:15:26 If you're gonna not have an alarm, this is on you. Yeah, they had like one lock on the door. Some businesses wouldn't even lock their doors. There was one day I went into a... I was on a balcony and I looked and I saw a shadow and I thought it was a buddy of mine at a restaurant. I knocked on the glass and I opened the door and it was wide fucking open.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Nobody in there. I walked in and I'm like, Randy, Randy. And also, I open up the manager's door, and the deposit bag is on the thing. You got to take it. On principle. You got to take it on principle if you're going to be that fucking stupid. Well, you're teaching them that they're going to have to lock the door.
Starting point is 00:15:55 You got to get a lot. This is a very expensive lesson. A lot of times, you're not planning on doing a criminal thing, and something pops up. Yes. They're in it. This particular night with the jewelry store, I planned it, I wanted it to be a snowstorm.
Starting point is 00:16:08 We were in Aspen. It was fucking coming down. I decide to rob this jewelry store. Right when I'm about to break the glass in the jewelry store, I see the police lights, and I run home, and I'm done. Only thing, it wasn't snowing that much because they followed my tracks. Oh!
Starting point is 00:16:26 So I'm in my apartment watching TV, fucking furious, and I got a knock on the door, and I go to the door and it's two cops, and they're like, hey, man, have you been home all night? I'm like, yeah. That's the weirdest thing, because they tried to rob the jewelry store, and the tracks follow in, and we look down,
Starting point is 00:16:42 and there's fucking carpeting, like an extra piece of carpet I had. And there's the snow. And there's the boots with the snow on. Oh, man. I hope you were like, I think the robber's in my house. No, I go, oh, shit, I went to the car to get something, and they probably mixed in.
Starting point is 00:16:56 That's what happened, and then they both looked at me weird. Did you get taken in? No. No, but I knew that my burglary days had come to an end. There. I had been going crazy for like eight months up there. And what were you doing in Aspen? You were like, I'm just going to hang out.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I was trying to get a residency so I could stay in Colorado and maybe transfer to a college out there. Wow. I was 19. Oh, my God. See, that's the difference between you and so many other quote-unquote dumb criminals is you got a little close to the sun and turned around. That's right.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Yeah, you came back. It got a little hot and you were like, I'm done with this. I'm done. It was like, there's a guy at the Magic Castle right here in fucking Hollywood. And at the time, I was a dishwasher. I did like shovel snow in the daytime to case the joints. That's why I shoveled snow because I would case the different businesses. You should never trust a guy.
Starting point is 00:17:46 So I would shovel snow on the buildings and also around the mall, and I would just case the joints. So I would either rob drug dealers, or if the businesses got stupid, I'd rob the businesses if they let the door open. I was 19. I was a fucking dumb kid.
Starting point is 00:18:02 You're like Aspen's version of Omar from The Wire, just being like, I'll steal from these guys. It was crazy. You're like Aspen's version of Omar from The Wire. It was fucking crazy. I'll steal from these guys. It was crazy. Yeah. It was crazy. It was the craziest thing. I remember one time breaking into a cookie place, like a cookie thing in the corner in
Starting point is 00:18:14 Boulder. Like, I was just nuts. You just. And in the cookie place, I got like $44. And I'll never forget the cops pulling in front of the place and talking on the radio and me sitting in the cookie place like, how long are they going to sit out there? I can't make my fucking daring escape.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So you're in there, are you like hiding down below? Just sitting under the cookies. One of those Mrs. Fields cookie places. For that moment, you were Mr. Fields. I hope you took one of those huge cookie cakes and wrote on please go away, cops. I didn't do shit, I just laid it out.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It was crazy. I was just doing stupid things. But the security levels were so bad that I never got caught. It was a different time. Now you'll get fucking caught. Aren't you happy you're not in the burglary game anymore? Yes, I am. So are we.
Starting point is 00:18:59 The incident caused police to begin investigating a possible burglary at the dealership. Yeah, no shit. One guy shows up with a whole bunch of keys saying he's Mr. Tesla. Yeah, that's the guy. As officers were investigating, they spotted a second Tesla drive by the building. This is at like 1 a.m. Another Tesla goes by the building. You got to tell, if you're a crew and you're stealing Teslas, everyone drive in a different direction.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Stay away. We'll meet back somewhere else, but not near the Tesla. And get walkie-talkies. Exactly. Watch Baby Driver. See how it's done. Another UHP trooper pulled that second vehicle over several blocks away after the vehicle ran out of battery power. So they didn't really pull it over.
Starting point is 00:19:40 It more just stopped, and then the cop rolled up behind it. That's a new era car thief thing that you got to be conscious of. Battery power. Battery power, not back in the day. Yeah, if you steal a Tesla or whatever, and you go on a high speed chase- You got like what, 200, 300 miles? You probably only have 150, especially if you're going on the highway and you're going fast. And from the dealership. From the dealership. From the dealership.
Starting point is 00:20:05 So the police will be like, yeah, they'll run out. They'll run out. We'll just keep following. We'll wait you out. The thing that gets me the most is what are these four idiots going to do with four Teslas? Try and sell them. Who are they going to sell them to? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:19 You know, where are you going to take them? To Mexico? What are you going to do with Mexico unless Chapo's in the business? That's right. Or where are you going to take them? To fucking Dubai? Yeah, it's not like you can open your jacket and be Chapo's in the business? That's right. Or what are you going to take him to fucking Dubai? Yeah, it's not like you can open your jacket
Starting point is 00:20:27 and be like, you want a Tesla? You want a Tesla? You can't do that. So all those electric cars, like I don't know what the deal is now, but those rings
Starting point is 00:20:34 take cars to sell to other countries. When they steal those cars, they take them right to a port. That's right. They change the VIN, make a fake title,
Starting point is 00:20:42 put them on fucking containers and send them to fucking Africa. Yeah. You go to Africa two years from now and there's your 6,000 poundie with the fucking, with the done over oil tank that you worked hard for. That's what they do. So how many Priuses are going to get sold in Mexico?
Starting point is 00:21:03 So many. Shane Smith. None there, but they'll get sold in Mexico. Shane Smith, a.k.a. Mr. Tesla, a.k.a. dumb person number one in this story, so we're back to him. He told police, quote, a guy he hardly knew gave him a free Tesla along with three other keys to other Teslas. In addition, he said the man gave him keys to the building. So I don't know the way a car dealer should... You just meet somebody and he's like,
Starting point is 00:21:27 hey, let me give you some stuff. This isn't 1983 Aspen. Also, if you're following along, this man who said I'm done talking sucks at not talking to the police. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta shut the fuck up. I'm not saying anything to get my attorney.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I will tell you this. A guy named Tesla gave me the keys. But I am not talking to you. He also gave me gave me the keys. But I am not talking to you. He also gave me keys to that building. But I am done talking to you. I'm finished. I'll also say this, and I am done talking to you. They had to smack him twice to talk and ten times to shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:21:55 That's what that's called. Shane Smith, a.k.a. Mr. Tesla, added that he was at the dealership when the building alarm sounded for about 20 to 30 minutes. So he's saying, on principle, hey, I was just here. The alarm went off for 20 to 30 minutes. You cops, you didn't show up. So that's, on principle, I had to go take one of these things. I'm leaving.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I'm leaving. He said he stood outside for 20 to 30 minutes and saw the building being ransacked. The report stated. The report added. So he's selling his other guys up the river. He's done with that. He's done. Mr. Dave Tesla then took the keys to the vehicle and had a business license to the dealership.
Starting point is 00:22:29 So now he owns it. This is like- That's so nice. He went and he took the business license. It's my place. A certificate of commerce and a check written to Tesla in his possession. It's so obvious he made this check out to himself from somebody's office he went into. But I'm going to ask you guys, how much money do you think he made this check out for to himself, Mr. Dave Tesla?
Starting point is 00:22:51 Now, Joey Cocodias, you are our guest, so you can go first, second, which is the tick spot, or third in this guess of how much money did he make this check out for. You want to go first or second? First. Okay. $50,000. $50,000. That, by the way, is a great guess because that's how much
Starting point is 00:23:09 I mean, that's like a down payment or something you put on the car. I say $75,000. $75,000 from Randy. I'm going to say $25,000. $25,000 or $25,000? $25,000. Ah, $25,000. Okay. Because I don't think he knows how much it costs. One of you is only $500 off.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Oh. So everybody get your guesses in at home. Here we go. The check made out to Mr. Dave Tesla was for $49,500. Uh-huh. Do you think he wrote 50, crossed out, and was like, I'm going to go a little less? He was the same guy that wrote the note to the fucking, one of those people in Boulder that got that girl taken away.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Remember they scratched the fucking. Yes. They scratched the fucking. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're going for $10. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Let's go for fucking $2,000. John Bonet. John Bonet. Yes. Okay, now we're moving on to Wiest, which they didn't say here, but I'm assuming is dumb person number two. The guy whose battery died and the cop took credit for pulling him over. Sure. He identified himself as Carlos Romero, which is a badass name.
Starting point is 00:24:08 It's a gay name. Carlos Romero. The hillside strangler. And officers found a financial transaction card- It's like the foothill strangler. With that name in his pocket. So he has a financial transaction card he probably took from the dealership. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:24:19 According to the report, police then called Tesla, and able to identify multiple stolen items from the business in his possession. So Dave Tesla also stole stuff. Police were able to positively identify the man Weist through his fingerprints. Now, two other vehicles were recovered later in the morning. One of the vehicles was pulled over by a West Valley City police and another was spotted outside a liquor store in Salt Lake City. By the way, West Valley is where the Wise Guys is. That's where it is.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Exactly where it is. I don't know if you walked around that area. The new club is not West Valley. The new club is way cooler. It's by the basketball stadium downtown. But the old club, West Valley, we walked around there a little bit. A little scary, that area. Definitely you could see.
Starting point is 00:25:07 All right, so the West Valley police pull it over. Yeah, and they find the other one in Salt Lake City where it's just parked out in front of a liquor store. These are the worst criminals. You've got to get your car off the street for a while, right? For at least a week. Zachary Holman and Earlene Parker, which are dumb persons three and four in this story. By the way, if you own a Tesla, you're probably getting most of your liquor delivered by Amazon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Or Postmates. Postmates. Get someone else to get that. So they're the drivers of the two other Teslas. They each told police that a man named Tesla, Dave, gave them the vehicles that they were driving. Sure. So this isn't on them. Dave Tesla gave us these cars.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Yeah, he gave them to us. He's like a vehicular Santa. Zachary Holman told police he had entered the dealership with two other men and had taken the vehicle. A jail report was unavailable for Earlene Parker. Officer Keller, the guy who got this all started, said he believes police have recovered all the vehicles stolen from the dealership. And this is where the cops get dumb because how would they not know how many Teslas are missing from the dealership? Call the dealership and say, what's your inventory? 168?
Starting point is 00:26:07 And how many Teslas can a dealership carry? Nine? Yeah. They don't have like 100. No. Right? No way. In the meantime, he said the investigators are unsure how one or more individuals were
Starting point is 00:26:17 able to get into the building and take the vehicles. Because there wouldn't be any security cameras or anything. Not if it's a mall in Aspen. No. Police said they're also trying to figure out how they were all connected because they can't figure that out either. I'm hoping that four random dumb people in the middle of the night said walking by a Tesla. One of them broke in and the other three were like, let's do this. Let's do this. And they didn't know each other either. What did Joey say? Sometimes moments come up. You're thinking, what are we going to do?
Starting point is 00:26:46 Someone else breaks in and you're like, we're going to do this right here. I'm in the mood for meth. I'm in the mood for meth. Which is the name of your next album. I'm in the mood for meth. It's one of those things where you're going, what? And you're scratching your head. It's what so many cops say in Dumb People Town.
Starting point is 00:27:02 The good thing is we have four people in custody and hopefully all the property is returned. Do you want a cop being like hopefully we got all the stuff? It's like the jacket, you know, like the Tesla coat and the Tesla mug, the key chain, the travel coffee mug. I bet they stole all that shit. That's what they got. Well, Dave
Starting point is 00:27:19 Tesla probably was like, that's technically mine. It's got my name on it. You guys can have it, but I get it. It's got my name on it. That's story one,, but I get it. It's got my name on it. That's story one, friends. Jeez. Yes. Dumb people doing dumb things. That was a deep, dumb journey right there. I love it.
Starting point is 00:27:31 And we got a little journey into Joey's past as well, which I love. On principle. On principle alone, you take it. This is basically me telling them you got to get a lock. That's how it goes. All right, one story down. We come back. Joey Cocodias.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Listen, if you're going to be that fucking stupid, it baffles me. Right? I'm no Phi Beta Kappa. Right. But there's just common sense. These people don't even exhibit that. In Boulder in 95. Love it.
Starting point is 00:27:58 At 1 o'clock, the bank opened up at 9, and a window chick, one of those girls that sits in the window, realized that she hadn't had a customer in four hours. And she went outside and she noticed that on each drive-in there was a box, a metal box with a lock on it that said, deposits are closed today. Just put the envelopes in here.
Starting point is 00:28:20 And the guys came back and took $30,000, $40,000. That's unbelievable. Who would put, you see those things? Yeah. For years, every fucking year on 60 Minutes, they tell you to report about the email, the African. Yes. You're going to win the lottery.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just sent him stuff yesterday. It baffles me. Wait a second there. I'm no fucking genius, but it baffles me. You have to know, you have to understand. It is common sense. Stupidity, it just baffles me. You have to know. You have to understand. It baffles me. It is common sense.
Starting point is 00:28:46 It just baffles you sometimes. You know what? It baffles you, but to us, it actually makes me really happy. All right, we had this segment. Me too. Segment one's down. We'll come back. Segment two, Joey Coco Diaz right after this.

Starting point is 00:34:45 pin in it? No, a button on it. A button on a pin? On the end of it, his podcast, The Church of What's Going On Church of What's Happening Now is such a great
Starting point is 00:34:54 storytelling podcast. So for all of our fans who haven't checked it out, go listen to it. Go subscribe to it and you'll be like, this is my new favorite. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:03 All right, this story was sent by so many people. It is just a dumb thing that happened in town that I could completely identify. Joey, based on some of your stories, I feel like you would do the same thing as this guy too, and it's just good and dumb. All right, I love it. Sent in by Nick and a million other people, but I think he was first, if not to everybody else.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I'm sorry. At Nick Depe, D-E-P-E. Here we go. West Columbia, South Carolina. Okay. Alex Bowen said he couldn't sleep. So in a hungry and slightly drunken stupor. A way drunken stupor.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Yeah. There's not a slightly drunken stupor. You're either in a drunken stupor or you're a little bit buzzed. And how can you fall asleep? Yeah. Because you're doing blow. Right. If you're in a drunken stupor, that's when I pass the fuck out. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:51 A slightly drunken stupor, exactly, is sleep. Right. If you're slightly drunk, you're like, I'm going to go to bed. He's lying about how much he drank. If you're really drunk, you're like, I'm going to go do some shit. He lied to a lot of people about how much he drank or whether or not he did blow. So in a hungry and slightly, that should be in quotes, drunken stupor, Bowen, Alex Bowen, said he walked to a West Columbia Waffle House early Thursday morning and found it empty of customers.
Starting point is 00:36:16 He also didn't see an employee right away. So he started taking things. With hunger calling out to him and no bacon sizzling on the well-worn Waffle House grill, Bowen said he waited for 10 minutes at the register. That is a long time. 10 minutes with nothing going on. Right. There is no way he waited 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:36:38 I agree. He might have waited 45 seconds. Yeah, two minutes. Two minutes is nice. You guys are being very nice. That's an eternity. Two minutes is four watch looks. Yeah. He waited 45 seconds. Yeah, two minutes. Two minutes is nice. You guys are being very nice. That's an eternity. Two minutes is four watch looks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:47 He waited 45 seconds. You know how you ever watch, like, if you ever go up and perform even on a Monday night at the comedy store, or just when you're watching, like, new people coming up and doing their thing, or you ever go to an early one, you know, it's like you watch the people do sets, when we all do sets on Thursday night and Wednesday night It's like 15 minutes goes by like that in a snap you watch a newbie doing it four minutes can seem like forever You're like I can't believe it's only three minutes. I got a lot of open mics Do you I try to go like newbie open mics just to learn yeah?
Starting point is 00:37:20 Yeah, you fucking sit back there, and you watch and you learn a lot of shit you go to the store You see great comedy yeah, yeah, but if you want to lot of shit. You go to the store, you see great comedy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you want to see train wrecks, I go to those little ones in the valley. Yeah. And I sit back there and I watch 10 guys. I'll get high and watch 10 guys. It's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:37:34 And you really fucking learn. You do. You do. You see even mistakes that maybe you made when you started or you made a little bit. Matt, think about that then. Here's a good way to put it, just like you were just saying, that's a good way to put it. When you're stone sober, 10 minutes can fly by. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:50 But not when you're waiting. That's still long. Imagine how long it is when you're drunk. When you're drunk. 10 minutes is like an hour and a half. If I come home drunk and I, wherever, the game I play is what's on the counter. What can I eat that's on the counter? What's around... Pirate's booty.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I attack the pirate's booty. Cheese sticks and pirate's booty. Oh, I kill those pirates. Alex Cohen then posted a picture of him in the empty Waffle House. Is that slightly drunk, that face on that guy's? Look at his eyes.
Starting point is 00:38:23 That is full drunk. That guy's lit. Okay. There was a point in time back in the day before cameras on phones and whatnot where that could never exist. You don't whip out your Vivitar and take a picture of your... There's no such thing. Right, right. He posted that right away. Also, him standing for 10 minutes at the counter, do you know he probably got into a drunk deal where he figured,
Starting point is 00:38:44 how many different ways can I say hello? Like, he's like, hello, hello, like yelling at her. Yeah, he's shouting stuff out. He says, quote, I walked back outside to look for employees, but none were in sight. Okay. Bowen said it was when he walked back inside that he noticed the sleeping employee in the corner booth, and then he posted a picture of that guy. That guy's out.
Starting point is 00:39:04 That might be slightly drunk. He is he posted a picture of that guy. That guy's out. That might be slightly drunk. He is out like a light. But he's out in the restaurant. Yes. In a booth. Yes. In a booth. He said he walked back in, waited a few more minutes, and then it was go time. So he walks in, finds the same person, waited a couple more minutes to see if that person would wake up
Starting point is 00:39:20 from their nap. Didn't want to wake him up, though, on his own. Which is very nice of him. Very nice. Let the guy get his sleep. Let the guy have a nap. He was probably in a drunken stupor himself. Yeah, he's got a day job. Yeah, the guy's working hard probably. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:31 In the post, I think he puts this on Facebook, Alex Bowen showed the sleeping employee in how he, Alex, became the king of his very own Waffle House. I got on the grill and started making a double Texas bacon cheesesteak melt with extra pickles. He just started creating his own new life. That's not a thing. By the way, and started making a double Texas bacon cheesesteak melt with extra pickles. He just started creating his own new life. That's not a thing. By the way, that can't be a dish at Waffle House. Texas bacon cheesesteak melt with extra pickles. Which, by the way, take the pickles off.
Starting point is 00:39:56 I'm eating that thing. I'm eating that. You hear that? Here's a picture of him in front of the stove just making this stuff. And if you look in the bottom left, you'll see just a stack of bacon and burgers, a piece of bread and pickles. If he finishes this dish and then places half of it in front of the sleeping employee- Then I love the guy. I love the guy.
Starting point is 00:40:16 As if to say thank you for your service. Like he's a military person. Thank you for your service. When I was done, I cleaned the grill, collected my ill-gotten sandwich, and then rolled on out. Is ill-gotten the word? Ill later, maybe. Later on he got ill later. I just love the idea that he walked into
Starting point is 00:40:33 an empty Waffle House and was like, if you guys aren't going to run this place, then I will. Fuck it. I'm on this. I'm principal alone, right? He's like, if you don't want me to be cooking my own food here, then have someone come work. Then have someone not sleeping in a booth. And where was the cook asleep? In the sleep.
Starting point is 00:40:49 It was a one-man operation. At three in the morning. At three in the morning. Now, was it a regular one of those Waffle Houses? Yes. Yeah, the one we see. On the road. The real gross one.
Starting point is 00:40:57 The one that's like right by. There's one right by in Raleigh. Or no, it might have closed down, but it was right there by. Waffle House is the only place that from the outside looks dirty. Like, I know you didn't- Nothing's been mopped. Nothing's been cleaned. The one in Little Rock takes the fucking cake of being the worst.
Starting point is 00:41:14 You've been there? You've been inside? Yeah. Little Rock Funny Bone has one. But if you walked in and you were that hungry and they weren't doing their job, would you start doing it for them? I'd fucking thank God they were sleeping. I made a bad choice and God sent me a message not to eat it.
Starting point is 00:41:27 You go home. You go the fuck home. You go home. And you order a pizza from Domino's. That'll blow up your asshole even more. It will. Well, not if you're Jason Sklar. No, I love Domino's pizza.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Jason Sklar loves Domino's pizza. I can't believe how much I love it. I'm shocked at myself. Didn't that happen to you again? Oh, yeah, yeah. It was at another birthday party. Another birthday party. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:41:48 It's a birthday party. Jay's like, what is this artisanal pizza that was here? They're like, it's Domino's. I'm like, again? You got me again, Domino's. You're an accidental spokesperson for Domino's Pizza. Any of those pizzas any good? Uncle John John's, any of those?
Starting point is 00:42:03 Papa John's? No. You call Uncle John John's? Uncle John John's might be a good pizza. Uncle John John's, any of those? Papa John's? No. You call Uncle John John's? Uncle John John's might be a good pizza. Papa John's, not a good pizza. Papa John's blows. Uncle John John's is pizza that you're only allowed to eat in the bathroom. Uncle John's.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I stopped. I gave up. All I need is Vince's pizza. I just wait until I go to Gotham. Yeah. I do my fucking shows and I walk down the corner and get two slices. I mean, so where's your favorite pizza place? Is it down the street from Gotham?
Starting point is 00:42:27 That's it. That's it. What's the name of it? Do you remember? I have no idea. You have no idea what the name is? It's right on the corner. No names. No names. No original rays. 50 yards down from Gotham. No Patsy's Grimaldi's.
Starting point is 00:42:38 And they give you that thin paper plate that it sits on. Oh, it's so thin. And the pizza's like two times the size of the plate. So it's coming off all corners. I got a picture of the fucking pizza. it's so thin. And the pizza's like two times the size of the plate, so it's coming off all corners. I got a picture of the fucking pizza. It's so good. He's got no pictures of his daughter. They give you napkins that are barely...
Starting point is 00:42:53 They're not even the size of your hand. And they don't absorb anything. No, no, no. They're like a non-moist towelette. That's how small it is. And the thing is just gigantic. And they got a pepperoni fucking, they had a fucking pepperoni, what do you call that shit? A calzone? The Hawaiian?
Starting point is 00:43:12 Yes, a pepperoni. How did I know it was calzone? Look at this fucking thing. Oh my lord. Next time you're at Gotham, right down the corner. Have you posted that online or anything? Because I want to put it on the Facebook page so people can really see it. That's what I'm talking about. Are you going to eat fucking Joe
Starting point is 00:43:27 Smith's pizza or Pizza John or whatever the fuck it is? Look at the shrimp zambolis. Look at the zambolis. You understand me? The strombolis. I don't fuck around, dog. I kind of like that you call them zombo. The zombo. I want these pics to post on the Facebook page for all the
Starting point is 00:43:43 listeners so they can see what- They get dick. They get dick. Get on the fucking plane. Go to Gotham. Go watch Brian Callum or the Sklar Brothers. And after the show's done, you fucking go over there. 50 yards down the street and get a Zomboly.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Get a fucking Zomboly. Look at this place. Look at this Chinese joint with the spare ribs and the old school egg roll. Look it, on metal. When you see Chinese food with metal, that's it. That's it. You've arrived. Nobody sees metal no more.
Starting point is 00:44:10 You are showing me pictures of Italian food in New York the way the Sklars make me watch videos of their kids playing sports. Fuck that shit. No kids pictures. No. Food. Food. New York. But there's this.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Oh, shit. Green chili. When you do Denver Comedy Works from right's this- Oh, shit. Green chili. When you do Denver Comedy Works from right down the corner, that place. Yes. Green chili all day fucking long. We don't fuck around. Go look at that. That chili's going to go up to GoPro.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Look at that. The best Cuban steak sandwich in the country. Where? Dos Hermanos. Where? 56th and Burger Line Avenue. Oh, my God. People take the $60 ticket when they go to-
Starting point is 00:44:44 People say, I got to go to Dos Hermanos. I'm going to take the ticket. So I might as well. Where is it? It's in 56th and West New York. Can I pitch you something? Start another podcast called Just Go There. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Just Go There. $21.50. Two Cuban steak sandwiches, two sodas, and a batido de mamey. A papaya milkshake. By the way, where were we? Stop. That is a picture of the bill. Of the bill.
Starting point is 00:45:07 I know. Just to show these fucking peasants what they're missing. You go to fucking Jersey Mike's, it's 20 just for that piece of shit fucking steak. I'm getting Mike's way. With cheese. That's mad. I'm telling you, start a podcast where it's just you and other people arguing about pictures of your food.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Oh my God. Where you give no directions on how to get there. You just go and other people arguing about pictures of your food. Oh, my God. Where you give no directions on how to get there. You just go there. Figure it out. Figure it out. That's why you got that shit on your fucking phone. A food podcast. All right, in three blocks.
Starting point is 00:45:34 A food podcast by Joey Diaz called Figure It Out. Figure the fuck out. With no pictures, just like haphazard directions. Figure it the fuck out. Where that place is located next to another landmark. You don't need to know the fucking name. I walked 50 yards. It's just like haphazard directions of where that place is located next to another landmark. You don't need to know the fucking name. I walked 50 yards.
Starting point is 00:45:47 And so now there are going to be people who listen to this podcast who are going to go to Gotham and go 50 yards in any direction and try and find this pizza. Maybe we'll go next month. I would love to go. Are you in New York? Yeah. We're at the Bell House at the end of February. I'm going. I'm going.
Starting point is 00:46:01 We're coming. He says, when I was done, I had my own deal. I cleaned the grill and then I rolled going. We're coming. He says, when I was done, I had my own deal. I cleaned the grill, and then I rolled out. I give all the credit to my old friend vodka. I wouldn't normally have done that. I think he would have done it. Yeah, this was resting inside. Did he walk there?
Starting point is 00:46:17 Yes, he walked there. So he's kind of responsible. He didn't drive. He didn't try and pick up a- He had some fun. He didn't wake up somebody sleeping. Did the guy get fired? Did the guy get fired? The employee? They did get suspended, but they didn't drive. He didn't try and pick up a- He had some fun. He didn't wake up somebody sleeping. Did the guy get fired? Did the guy get fired, the employee?
Starting point is 00:46:26 No, they did get suspended, but they didn't get fired. Okay. In an honest telling of the saga, Bowen said he stopped by the same Waffle House Thursday afternoon to check on the store to make sure no one was asleep on the job. He said one of the employees isn't very happy with his exploits. This is the picture of the guy he met just rocking a full camo gear behind the register. Look how annoyed that person looks at him coming in. It looks like he's wearing the same outfit, the main guy.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Yeah, he said, the old Waffle House is just going to have to take an L on that one, bro. Take an L. When asked if he paid before he left. I think when you show up to a Waffle House, D, you took the L. You're taking the L. You took the L. When asked if the L. You took the L. When asked if he paid for the food before he left on that fateful night with his old friend Vodka, he said no.
Starting point is 00:47:12 But he did give the employee money when he returned on Thursday afternoon. I'm going to ask you guys. How much money did he give him? How much money do you think he gave the employee when he came back? For a Texas two-bacon steak and cheese. No, no. It's more than that. He went to Waffle House Fantasy Camp. Yes, he did. That's what he got to do.
Starting point is 00:47:29 He got to show up and play as a Waffle House employee. You want to work the grill? Work the grill. There's some restaurants where you do make your own meal there. Right? There's places where you're like, they just give you a- Shabu, shabu, shabu. You're talking about a Japanese place where you throw the meat on the grill and you got
Starting point is 00:47:43 to grill it yourself? All right. Fine. Yeah. Also, this is- So how much money did he give? How much money did he give? Joey, you want grill and you got to grill it yourself? All right, fine. Yeah. So how much money did you get? How much money did you give? Joey, you want to go first, second, or third? First, 10 bucks. 10 bucks.
Starting point is 00:47:50 10 bucks. Five bucks. Five from Jason Sklar. I think he gave what was in his pocket, which was 350. 350? Yeah. Okay, Randy says 350. Jason says five.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Joey Cocodias says 10. Gave him a 10. I'm going to tell you guys right now, one of you is exactly right. Someone in this room. Joey's 1-0 in the games so far in this show. Here we go. When he walked back in and met the pissed off person that was mad they did all this, he gave the employee a $5 bill.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Yes! Jason Sklar. Very nice. I love restaurants in Dumb People Town. A Waffle House spokesman, we'll get out of here on this, said the sleeping employee was suspended for a week. He also said that Bowen said there's no slight in his actions and that it points out greater issues that they're going to address. They close it out by saying, in a related note, obviously Alex has some cooking skills and we'd like to talk to him about a job. I can't believe this story came up after Joey's story about the jewelry store, the thing that left the thing wide open.
Starting point is 00:48:49 All you're doing is pointing out to Waffle House, your employees can't fall asleep or else someone's going to come in and make a thing. You can't leave the drop right there in the office. You've got to make cocaine readily available if you're working an overnight shift at the Waffle House. That's right, at a Waffle House. There should just be a tiny break glass if needed. You start to feel yourself falling asleep, you take a little bump, a little bump, and then you're good for the night. The Mexican dishwasher always has a cousin.
Starting point is 00:49:17 The Mexican dishwasher always has a... By the way- Remember the triple runs? You were in fucking South Dakota. I always got Coke. You got Coke. Because you hunted down the one Mexican and he got a cousin somewhere. I would have to agree with Waffle House.
Starting point is 00:49:28 It's like pointing out an issue. You have one guy working all night, cooking, doing the register, and bushing the tables. All of it. He's going to need a nap. At some point. That's bullshit.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Or he's going to need- Somebody didn't show up. Somebody didn't show up. Somebody didn't show up. Yeah. All right, Dan, we have one more story. Me too. After this break, what are we looking at?
Starting point is 00:49:47 Tease a little bit. Give me a little tease of what we got in this last story. A guy had his life ruined by having sex. Okay. Good to know. It happens every day. It happens every day. During the act.
Starting point is 00:49:57 All right. Jesus. Okay. All right. We got a great story coming up after the break. Joey Coco Diaz with us. Stay with us. All right, guys.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Welcome back to the show. Follow Joey Coco Diaz with us. Stay with us. All right, guys. Welcome back to the show. Follow Joey Coco Diaz on Twitter. Your Twitter handle, sir? Mad Flavor. Mad Flavor. Just a joy. And check out his podcast and do it and come see us, you guys. You know what to do.
Starting point is 00:50:18 All right, Daniel. Before we get into that, I want to remind people, one other thing that's going to end up in this feed, the night before we do Dumb People Town, Sketch Fest on the 20th, I am doing a live Wahlberg solution. Boom, boom. It is going to be something people will be able to listen to here. If you're coming into town or coming to the festival, come out on Saturday night at 1030.
Starting point is 00:50:34 It's Scott Adsit. Nice. Yes. Cole Stratton is going to be Stan Lee. Kenny Stevenson is going to be Nick Cage. Love it. It is going to be so- And before you do that, come to the Cafe du Nord and see us do a headlining set there.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Oh, heck yeah. And then go over to your show right after that. And there is such a big special guest that I can't give away, but it is a huge, huge, huge guest. Love it. All right, I would love to have as many townies as there. Here we go. Sent in by Chris Pinkott at Stuperfly. Love this dude.
Starting point is 00:51:02 He'll be in New York with us. The 29-year-old, that's all, they're just getting right to it. The 29-year-old visited an emergency eye clinic after suffering partial sight loss in his left eye in the morning after a strenuous romp, a report published in the British Medical Journal revealed. Now, you usually use your eye, the old thing they used to tell you is you keep masturbating. You'll lose your eyesight. You'll go blind. Wasn't that the fear? Who started that? That's the church.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Somebody's mom. Some mom who was done with it. Didn't want a kid moving out. So this guy has sex and then loses his eyesight. Yeah. It's good sex. That is hardcore.
Starting point is 00:51:49 It's great sex. She fucked the eyesight out of him. It is thought he was performing the Valsalva Maneuver. What's the Valsalva Maneuver? Which happens when a person tenses their abdominal muscles and holds their breath, forcing air against a closed windpipe and putting pressure on the chest. I'm going to try and hold this up for you guys. What?
Starting point is 00:52:12 Wait, what? I'm going to put this. Why do I not know what this is? You know that show, The Doctors? Yeah. That's who's going to explain to us what the Valsalva is. Let's listen to this, guys. The Valsalva Maneuver.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Yeah. I'm going to hold this up to the mic here. And there are a few things that you can do. One thing people do, it's called the Valsalva maneuver. And that is the same as bearing down to have a bowel movement. Oh. Wow. So that's better than thinking about baseball or golf.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Well, you know, I actually disagree with that because you want to stay in the moment as the male. And what you actually do and this works for some people is you pretend like you're gonna have a bowel movement that'll kill it that is it you pretend like you're gonna take a dump in the bed and then you lose your eye unless you're having sex with chuck berry i don't know who that is serving. Yeah, but it's supposed to make you last longer. What? So this guy's pretending to take a dump while he's having sex with a person and then goes blind. Could those three things in one sentence be worse?
Starting point is 00:53:19 You either go blind or your anus prolapses. Your whole, everything falls out. Everything falls out the back and then you've ruined it. I mean, to me, you never in any one of those scenarios want to come close to pushing in that direction. Because you don't know
Starting point is 00:53:35 what's going to come out. It's disgusting. Unless that's your thing. The report said that initially doctors were confused by the cause of the man's injury. And this also, in Dumb People Town, this is like, every day people are walking in and they're like, what'd you do to yourself? I can't see, I had sex.
Starting point is 00:53:51 I'm going to suggest something. I think there should just be, there should be two hospitals. And by the way, both good. I actually think there should be a dumb hospital and a regular hospital. The dumb hospital, everything that you did that was dumb, you decide, I gotta go to the dumb hospital i just tried this this was stupid hospital is like whatever we're not gonna judge you no but what'd you do to yourself that's the first i tried to
Starting point is 00:54:12 take a while i was having sex and now i lost my eyesight boom you're at the dumb house i put a gerbil up my ass i don't know why but i did it and everything here the dog went in my and it broke yeah dumb hospital dumb hospital all thoseumb hospital. Yeah, all those things. All of it. It's really weird how many people show up with crazy sex things. So you go to the dumb hospital. Things that get stuck
Starting point is 00:54:29 and shit. Go to the dumb hospital. Dumb hospital. It's gotta be fucking embarrassing. It's gotta be embarrassing. To go into a doctor with a pole up your ass and it broke.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yeah. You know what? It is. I'm telling you guys, it really is. Dan, how do you know? I'm just saying. Dan, how do you know?
Starting point is 00:54:42 But you're saying, oh, empathy means you've been through it. No, sympathy. Don't word trick me in dumb people town. At this visit, he saw a difference, so he comes back a couple days later. They asked to come back a couple days later, so he came back a couple days later. Still can't see, guys.
Starting point is 00:54:57 They're having great sex. Cannot see anything. He didn't see a different doctor. He didn't see anything. He didn't see anything. Hey-o, Fats Clark brothers. At this visit, he saw a different clinician. Clinician't see anything. He didn't see anything. Heyo, Fats Clark brothers. At this visit, he saw a different clinician.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Clinician? Clinician. Clinician. Who asked him direct questions about the patient's sexual activity. So it's like what you just said, Joey,
Starting point is 00:55:14 that the first one they were probably being a little bit like, okay, have you done anything strenuous? No, no, no. The second doctor was like, what kind of sex
Starting point is 00:55:20 are you having? What kind of sex? Tell me exactly. What the fuck did you do? What did you do? By the way, the dumb hospital has to have doctors that talk like Joey Dears. Joey Coggan is their check-in administrator.
Starting point is 00:55:30 They just shift right through the bullshit. What the fuck did you do? What happened? I don't know. I was walking down the street and I fell on a hot dog. No, you didn't. No, you did not. No, you didn't.
Starting point is 00:55:38 You met a guy and he put a hot dog up your ass. Which is fine. It's okay to live that life. Do whatever you want to do, but just tell us what's happened. And at the end of Oprah's speech, it broke in my fucking ass. Which is fine. It's okay to live that life. Do whatever you want to do, but just tell us what's happened. And at the end of Oprah's speech, it broke in my fucking ass. Which is also okay. Because you got excited.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Because you got excited. You got excited about the prospect of Oprah in 2020. I get it. I get it. At a regular hospital, it says, what are your current symptoms? At Dumb People Hospital,
Starting point is 00:55:58 on the form, it says, what the fuck really happened? What did you do? What did you do to you? What did you do? The patient then reported an episode of vigorous sexual intercourse on the evening
Starting point is 00:56:07 preceding the onset of symptoms. The patient's eyesight eventually returned on its own. So anybody out there in dumb people town getting weird, there's a chance it will just come back. But still, please go to the dumb hospital. But there is that moment where it starts to come back and you're like, wait, I did it right then.
Starting point is 00:56:23 What did you? I think dumb... He's going to it right then. He's going to do it again. He's going to do it again. You know you got Kaiser Permanente. Right. I can't wait for this. I want Kaiser Estupiente. Oh, I thought you were going to say Experimente. Kaiser Experimente.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Kaiser Experimente is for all the dumb shit that people do. It's like, are you going to Kaiser? Which one? I'm going to Kaiser Experimente. I got a hot dog stuck up my ass. Which is okay. Did you watch the Golden Globes? You mentioned Oprah's speech. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I just watched that shit this morning when I got up. And I saw everybody fucking jumping up and down. Great speech. Oprah 2020. Gayle could be the first lady. That's all I'm saying. I'm just putting it out there. Stedman could be a congressional aide.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Yeah. That is, this is all fucking stupid. That she, yeah, it doesn't matter. The office of president doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's done. It just doesn't matter. It means nothing.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I thought the Golden Globes were actually really good. I thought Seth did a great job. Seth did a great job. He was really good. I had a good time. I mean, Wahlberg wasn't there, but he is... I'm going to open the door for him right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because anytime a big movie event happens, we get Mark Wahlberg in here, and he's able
Starting point is 00:57:33 to move Dan, and he'll sit where Dan was. Okay. All right. Here he is. Mark, you were not at the Golden Globes last night. How you guys doing? You doing good? We're good.
Starting point is 00:57:42 We're good. We're good. You know Joey? What's up, Joey? I've seen the story before. You fucking crush, bro. Yeah, he does crush. Great storyteller, right?
Starting point is 00:57:50 Another guy like me came up fucking fighting his own way. He gets that shit. He totally gets that shit. I don't know if he... We should do a fucking movie together, bro. Absolutely. Call me. Yes, there we go, right?
Starting point is 00:57:59 I would love to see that movie. Anytime I can put somebody in a movie with me that isn't Donnie, it's a win. You're happy. It feels good. Because I get a good person in the movie, and Donnie doesn't get to see that movie. Anytime I can put somebody in a movie with me that isn't Donnie, it's a win. You're happy. It feels good. Because I get a good person in the movie, and Donnie gets not. Donnie's a bit of an albatross, I know. Joey can act. He's a good actor.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Fucking A. Fucking A. Did you guys watch the GGs or what? The Golden Globes? Yeah, we did. Did you fucking watch them? Did you see them? You were.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Why the fuck would I go there? Because you're a movie star. And you earn all the money in the world. Yeah, great fucking film, dude. And then we go out, and we get Kevin go fucking live in Space world. Yeah, great fucking film, dude. And then we go out and we get Kevin go fucking live in Spaceyville. Right? Fuck that, dude. And then they bring in...
Starting point is 00:58:31 CP fucking comes in for a month and he fucking gets nominated for that shit. He's a great actor. Okay, who wore fucking glasses in that movie? You did. I wore fucking glasses. You ever see me wear glasses in any other fucking movie? No, I haven't. He was out here fucking stretching, trying to do a good fucking job. It was like Nicole Kidman in the hour, G.
Starting point is 00:58:47 The nose on Kidman is like the glasses on you. Fucking A, dude. You made a stretch. So if you're going to fucking give CP a fucking nomination because he shows up for one fucking month. He did save the film for that. But you put on glasses and you feel like that's worth a notch. You know how much fucking muscle mass I lost for that to look like a fucking normal person? How much?
Starting point is 00:59:03 To look like one of you fucking guys? Well, that's... You lost 65 fucking pounds of muscle. You lost for that to look like a fucking normal person? How much? To look like one of you fucking guys? Well, that's... I lost 65 fucking pounds. You lost 65 pounds of muscle? And I put fucking glasses on that I don't even fucking need. Okay. So you're saying by simply putting glasses on, you deserved at the very least a nomination? Be honest.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I'm going to ask all three of you. Okay. How many times have you seen all the money in the world so far? I haven't seen it yet. Take that as three. I'm going to fucking... No, we haven't done it yet. We haven't seen it. Take that as three. Whatever. You're fucking passing your screener around. You got one SAG account. I don't give a fuck. I haven't seen it yet. Take that as three. No, I haven't done it yet. We haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Take that as three. Whatever. You're fucking passing your screener around. You got one SAG account. I don't give a fuck. Okay? Here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:59:31 I crushed that fucking movie. Okay. I'm not doubting that. I'm sorry. You know what I should say? I do what I do in every fucking movie. You seen Daddy's Home 2 yet?
Starting point is 00:59:38 Of course you fucking have. Where I taught Will Ferrell how to fucking be funny again. Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell. And we got the dude from Harry and the Hendersons plays his fucking dad. John Lithgow.
Starting point is 00:59:45 I don't know what his fucking name was. Do you not know his name and you acted in a full movie with him? I don't know. It was me and Braveheart and I kept being like Braveheart every day when you come in here. Mel Gibson. Every fucking day when you come in here you need to apologize to people because not everybody's forgiving you for your fucking shit. That's right. That's a good point. So he went around to each person and said I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:00:01 And then he came back to me and I'm like not good enough. I did that to him every fucking day. You should be at every Golden Globes. Why don't you host the Golden Globes? I would fucking host it, but for what? So I cannot win an Emmy because they bring in Christopher fucking Plummer to do the Cable Ace Awards at the last fucking minute? That's not even an award. It is fucking two, dude.
Starting point is 01:00:16 I got 16 Blockbuster Awards that say that shit's real. What's your workout today before you get out of here? All of it. I did a 17K this morning. That's not a thing. It's not even a thing. It's not? Oh, it is now, I guess. You can't measure Ks now? No, you can measure K it. I did a 17K this morning. That's not a thing. It's not even a thing. It's not? Oh, it is now, I guess.
Starting point is 01:00:26 You can't measure Ks now? No, you can measure Ks. I did a 17K this morning. Canada, you can. Yep. I did a 17K this morning. Then I'm going to go to downtown LA and pick a fight. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:34 That's good. That's boxing. Here's the deal. When I start a fight, I go, we're going five rounds. If we're going to fight, we're going fucking five rounds. Okay. I get it. You can't just grab a homeless guy.
Starting point is 01:00:41 You got to grab someone you think can actually- Can actually go for five routes. And then I do permanent squats while I clean Donnie's room. Okay. So you've got to stay in the squat position and clean Donnie's room. He's not going to do it on his fucking self, dude. I want a nice house. He's like a kid.
Starting point is 01:00:54 He's like a baby. I want a nice house. I get it. I'd like to someday have a place where I need to put all these fucking awards that people won't fucking give me. If you want a nice house, tell Donnie to go out and do his own thing. God, your fucking lips to Jesus Christ's ears. Okay. Mark Wahlberg.

Starting point is 01:01:36 try and say something. First of all, you don't understand this. Donnie's getting paid background actor rate to do Blue Bloods. That's not true. That is very true. He signed a bad deal because they told him,
Starting point is 01:01:45 do you want to be in a show with Magnum P.I.? And he didn't even care what the fucking contract was. He said, I'll just take it. When you say Magnum P.I., you mean Tom Selleck. Magnum P.I., dude. Fine. The guy who used to play for the Detroit Tigers and drove a Lamborghini? No, he's been in a bunch of other shows. Okay, well, Quigley Down Under, and it was fucking good. But I'm telling you this.
