Episode Date: May 11, 2021

This week Jonah Ray comes to town to hang with Daniel, Jason and Randy. The first story is about the worst litterer. The second story is an art critique. The final story is about a real life Ash Ketchum.

Star Pains Avenue Couldn't make this up. So listen to our podcast jam with co-host Armand Dan. Banders, don't be a jerk. Cause when the music hits the funny hits, we are gonna take you down. Stick around, make a sound, punk it down, it's Dumb People Town. Hey townies, welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town. Population you. Population you. Population Ray. Jonah Ray of light.

What? But that was a quick. Usually, you hop on a podcast, and you got the bozos hosting it, just like rambling on for a while. We learn from those mistakes. We learn. We've been the people waiting. We are those bozos.

We are. So we're like, let's- No, you got right to it, and so I could bozo with you all. That's right. That's why you're here. We don't want to waste you. We don't want to waste you. We have the brilliant wit of Mystery Science Theater 3000's latest host, Jonah Ray, with us.

And this is the perfect analytical mind to break down the absurdity. The stupidity of this world. Because I told myself I won't talk about Cry Wilderness for this whole episode. That's right. You can't. You cannot. Oh, my God. Don't whole episode. That's right. You can't. You cannot. Don't do it. Bang.

Okay. Oh, my God. It's so fucking perfect. What was the cave party one that we saw at the Ace Hotel that you guys did live? There was like this cave party. That was Iga. Oh, God. Yeah.

Which was part of the original series. But then Joel wanted to do it for the tour with a new riffs. And I remember going, people are going to be upset. Were they upset or no? No, no, no.

And it's like, uh, everyone just, you know, we did a couple of the jokes that were in the original one. And then we did, you know, I think you can,

have you guys ever considered doing the Orson Welles film? That crazy experimental. Yeah. No, not me. The crazy experimental yeah no nothing the crazy experimental film I forget the name of it that he did later and it's his

last film oh like a call into the wind or something like that just like just to create that would be I was like oh man I wish MST was doing this right now it was

so weird and great and you're just like oh we're watching the inside of Orson Welles mind just completely all unravel in front of us just that wet brain of uh you know just exactly yeah fermented in the sand anyway uh so the world's getting dumber i think we all agree with this and um there's no way to do it there's no way to to combat it except with comedy. And so should we try and do?

Let's jump into a story for this. Let's do it. Jody, you ready? I am. This is stoked. Okay, good. Fun, horribly dumb. I can't wait.

Caper. I can't wait. Okay, here we go. Sent in by Elise at E-E-L-E-B-L-I-N-K. So that'd be E-L-E-L-E-B-L-I-N-K. E-E-L-E-B-L-I-N-K. Love that'd be E-L- I wonder if that's our friend Elise. That's Elise LeBlanc. E-E-LeBlanc. Yes. Elise LeBlanc. I love her. Love this gal. Alright. She's great. She dressed up like Spiral Mac and Cheese

for the Halloween Bingo Show. And you bet your ass I've named her the winner. She is the winner. She's the cheesiest. The odd case of the Lakeview litter bug started a while ago. Someone driving past a home on Versailles Road

in the dark of night slowed down to fling a used McDonald's coffee cup onto the edge of a front lawn before pulling away. Dan, I guarantee you they don't call it Versailles. They're like, it's over on Versailles. That's where he dropped. Like Creve Coeur in Versailles.

So, by the way, you don't call it a used McDonald's coffee cup. You call it a McDonald's coffee cup. But it was used. But it's used from the second you take it away from McDonald's. Once you drive it off the lot. Yes. If it's not in, and even most of the time, if it's in a McDonald's, it's used.

Don't you, Jonah? It's ready to disintegrate at any moment. Thank you. Once liquid touches it at all. Also, earlier when you said the lake view it's like when you have like a name of a town before uh like some kind of yes yes strangler strangler you're holding your breath hoping it's not that terrible right exactly the lake view litterbug oh thank god the lake view is related to the lake view mangler Lakeview Mangler. Oh, no. Mangler. Oh, that's horrible. It's worse.

Okay. Slow down to fling a used McDonald's coffee cup onto the edge of a front lawn before pulling away. I love that they're describing this crime like it's the Kennedy assassination. Like he slowed down to the left at the edge of the lawn. Out and to the left. Out and to the left. The edge of the lawn. It is... I consider myself a person with fairly good hand-eye coordination.

That's tough to do, to throw it out the... But it is so hard to throw something out your passenger side window. It has to be a shove, really. You just have to shove the thing through its face. It does have to be a shove. That's a great way to put it. You know, I used to do something very similar. Me and my friend Bobby, we would

watch Seinfeld on Thursday nights. We'd make a DiGiorno, watch Seinfeld. And then I would, on the way home, taking him home, we would go through the drive-thru at Jack in the Box, get a couple waters, and then drive by this kid Kimo's house that we didn't like, and then

throw the water at his bedroom window. my god you guys were savages for two years about when seinfeld was on so seasonally and we always wondered if you put it together that it was always thursday yeah it was only when seinfeld was on yeah and that's why you guys always wait for him to bring it up at school and he never fucking did so he won he was yeah or he was watching seinfeld you know what i mean school, and he never fucking did. So he won. So he won. Or he was watching Seinfeld. You know what I mean?

He had it on VHS. I mean, he fought back by getting Michael Richards to make that racist rant. He got the last laugh on you. We're one sentence into this. Okay. Okay. Yes. So the person slows down, throws a McDonald's coffee cup out of the edge of the lawn.

The driver did this over and over again, nearly every day since then, throwing one or two coffee cups, sometimes with soggy cigarette butts inside, out the window and onto the property of Edward and Cheryl Patton. The couple eventually filled 10 garbage bags with these coffee cups.

Oh my God. This is a long play. This is what the movie Patton should have been about. Yeah, it got so should have done with his career. Yes, should have been these people. It got so frustrating that Edward Patton sank money into binoculars and video

surveillance. Well, he also always ask his neighbor why he had those. His hot substitute teacher neighbor is like, well, he had those. No, not Ed Patton. Why'd you get these? The coffee cups. Yes, I got them.

But you're looking out the back. Well, you never know where they're going to come from. I just think the guys have got a good arm and he's throwing it from the backfield over our house and it's landing at the honey. I don't understand why you have to have the lights out in here when you're doing it.

You want your I go the other way. I'm not going to explain how night vision works to you. All right, Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl, come on, Cheryl. He said he tried to hide a camera in the crook of a tree branch and managed to get footage one night, even even being outside in the rain, which makes me just picture Cheryl being like, do not get inside and get back in here. The rain is going to come in right now.

Cheryl, what do you think? I have the other crook of the branch, a sunbrella. Ed, why are you so good at shimmying up trees with camera equipment at night? Cheryl, back off! I let you have the hammock. Do you want me to catch him? I did not want that hammock. That's your hammock. This is my time. Do you want me to catch him or not?

It says he managed to get footage showing a man throwing coffee cups out of his driver's window, but he couldn't get a clear view of the license plate, even after spending part of a chilly night waiting outside. He staked it out. So, Dan, do you know that I did a stakeout at my house? No.

Recently. Swear to God. What are you looking for? So, my neighbor across the street, who I'm like, why are you watching my house? I was like, I could have been him. He calls my house, and I'm like, how do you have my number? Ooh, that's weird.

You got a landline? Yeah, a landline. And he said, so someone was going through your trash with like a lamp light on their head, like a headlamp. And they were really meticulously going through your recycling. And I'm like, are you sure? It just wasn't someone picking up cans? And he's like, I don't know.

They had a nice car and they were doing it. And I was like, well, why are you giving me all this information? I said, when does it happen? He said 4 a.m. the night after they left on Wednesday nights before the next one. So I set my alarm on my phone for like 3.55. This is crazy. I wake up.

I get a baseball bat. No. I go into my garage. I start taking pitches. I get the binoculars out no i take a few swings see if i got the gut and i'm like just waking up i open the garage and there's someone there what go like with the headlamp going through stuff i was like hey man what's going on baseball bat in hand and they didn't answer and i was like hey what are you doing you can't go

through my trash like that like i don't know why you're doing like i didn't answer. And I was like, hey, what are you doing? You can't go through my trash like that. Like, I don't know why you're doing it. Like, I didn't say that. That's not okay. Big fan, man. Big fan. Big fan. I love you guys.

Huge fan of Entourage. When they bring back cheap seats, and I was like, come on in. What's up, man? Get in here, you old soul. Get into my files. Get into my files. No, and he said, I'm looking for cans. And he kind of had an accent.

And so I was like, I don't know what you're saying. I'm not quite sure if you're saying cans. I couldn't quite tell. And then he started to leave. And I was like, yeah, you can't do that anymore. I don't know what you're doing. And maybe it's not anything. But I did call the cops.

And they're on their way. And we do have security people who are going to come. And as he was leaving, we do know your license and as he was leaving we do know your license plate and don't ever look over your shoulder ever again yes yes yes yes that's great someone's going to swing a baseball bat at the back of your head next time you're at a gelson see you later good night so uh no it was terrifying but i did a stakeout like this guy you basically were this guy was the car nice was the car actually nice it was okay it wasn't like this like giant junker that was like fill of cans. So I was kind of

like, what are you doing? You know, maybe he's really good at it. Yeah, maybe he's the best really good. Maybe only picks the a small amount of cans. You get more for the shastas. Okay, you guys want to take a look? Yes, you want to take a look at it. All right, here's that patent. This is him going over surveillance footage. He's got no cards that he's trying to cover. Oh, that is that pat. This guy has built more ships and bottles than you know. Look at him. Look at that. Pat, Ed, Pat, Ed, Patton's got grandkids that haven't built that goddamn table. Yeah, okay. Oh, Cheryl, move the goddamn plant. I'm

trying to do some work here. Do I look like I'm going over clues? He's also the first amateur detective to not want a cork board. He just has all of his clues. He looks like Mickey Rooney ate Peter Gammons. Look at all those no cards. It's like he's about to do his own inside the actor's studio. That's right.

We also like delight like I want him to tell us about like he investigated crimes in the late seventies like yeah sure he was on the way to getting like the you know they based rockford files on me that's what he said yeah a little bit of ted

kennedy in him too exactly okay all right let's go back to ted bundy in him any thought that this was an attempt at a prank faded as time went by yeah the patents and their adult children couldn't figure out who disliked them enough that to keep this up month after month for how long so here's my question do you think ed was like all right cheryl who'd you piss off you know what i mean it's like he knows it ain't me jolted lover, ex-lover of his wife's.

Right. Yeah, Jonah, that would definitely be falling on you. You know what I mean? Your wife would be like, yeah, okay. All right, honey. Who did you piss off? What heckler did you get mad at at a show? Who did you wink at, Cheryl?

Cheryl! How many months? What McDonald's did you say you hated their coffee? All right. How many months? No, I said just how long. I did say that this went on month after month. Month after month.

So how long did it go on? Month after month for how long? 10 garbage bags full or what? 10 garbage bags full. Okay. Jonah, how many months or how long? Do you think? 10 garbage bags, 16 fluid ounces.

we got to do something about it. After the second year, he bought a camera. After the third year, he's in nooks and crannies and trees. The Pattons and their adult children couldn't figure out who disliked them enough to keep this up month after month. This is weird. For three years.

Oh, my God. I was right. Three years. Too long, man. Of McDonald's coffee cups in your front yard. He said neighbors began asking questions about the debris the Patton couldn't answer. I had no idea what was going on. And look at this.

By the way, that was the worst thing for him. He can handle the debris. It's just the neighbors being like, what's up with all the... It's like, I want to hear my neighbors ask me questions about the debris. Right. I don't want to talk to my neighbors. No. No.

Never. Maybe it's your neighbors. Look at this photo of Ed Patton having no idea what's going on. And he is pissed about it. I'm going to bring this up here. Bring it up. Bring it up. Ready?

Oh, God. Look at Ed Patton. Look at it. Those are some tapered jeans right there. Those are boot cut all the way up. So that so you can tell how old the guy is by the style of jean that he wears because that you got to go back to the last time when that was kind of cool. You bet your ass.

He got those jeans for Christmas. They got those jeans for Christmas. Also, he's saving all these. so he's not getting rid of them they're also like jeans over three years they're also jeans like that you would get from a gas station i need some jeans i need some jeans on you only head on over to yeah but i'm like a bucky's bucky's also like he he got the one cup out uh because everything is in the garbage can he got the one can He's like what if they can't tell what's inside And we're lying We have to have one cup showing He didn't want to get his prints on it

He does have to stand there for scale. This is all happening in and around Buffalo, too, and he loves the Bills. He loves the Bills. All right. Earlier this month, some neighbors agreed to help the Pattons find out who was doing this. Okay, let's get the whole neighborhood involved.

Enter Chris Richardson and his father Robert. That's Bob Richardson. You know Chris and Bob Richardson volunteered a little too fast. Oh, we've got surveillance equipment. Yeah, we got you covered. You knew we should Chris is like you knew we should be surveilling all the cops. Okay.

Let's make this about surveillance equipment. We got access to a militia. We're going to become real close. No, no, no. It's just about the cups. Chris, that's right. I said we're going to surveil the cups.

How many throwing stars do you need? I don't need any throwing stars. None. Okay, none. Chris Richardson. There you go. None. Numb chucks. None. Okay. None. Chris Richardson. There you go. None. How many chucks do you need? How many numb chucks do you need?

None. So you need none? No, it's none chucks. So it's none. Chris Richardson and his father, Robert, just like Jason, set up a stakeout to watch for the vehicle in question. The whole town. We got the whole cul-de-sac involved.

They are pissed. They're ready to. One night, they were waiting. That'd be Chris and Robert Richardson. They were waiting outside when they saw a minivan as it passed the house and followed it in their car to record the plate number. Edward Patton,

who had never contacted authorities about the littering, could he never got the cops? I don't pay taxes either. He called the Hamburg police on Sunday. Nice officers then set their own trap. Everybody's in call police in Germany, but okay, weird, they have Germany. Wow, we're they will take this seriously. Officers then set their own trap and on that Sunday night pulled over a man moments after he deposited more trash at the patent's home. Oh yeah, the man cited

for harassment. If I made you guess the name of the type of guy who would do this, this is the perfect. Let's hear it. The man cited for harassment and littering for three years was Larry Pope. That's how he says it to hi Larry, it goes down and then it goes up. I'm mad at a lot of people. I've got Larry Pope. I've got an axe to grind and I make the

axis. That's right. I'm the guy at the movie theater who says that's not realistic. My favorite show is forged by fire. Okay, it's a knife making show. I watched on the road. The man side of harassment was Larry Pope. Edward Patton said the name didn't mean anything to

him. Yeah, that's by the way, infuriated Larry Pope even make him even more mad, but his wife sitting close enough to overhear the conversation perked up. My wife comes off the couch. She was white as a sheet. Oh God Patton now it's time to hear about who

cheated on who comes the affair. Now we know who cheated on who. Here comes the affair. Pope Larry was a former colleague, Cheryl Patton told police, describing him as a quote, nemesis, who was on the opposite side of union related issues

at the company and who regularly hurled insults and veiled threats at her. And then it became coffee cups. Yes. She hasn't worked there for years in this guy. I've never had a nemesis. How much do you think Ed was like,

I knew this was your fault, Cheryl. What did I say, Cheryl? What did I say? I knew this wasn't me. You keep it quiet at work, or else this is going to happen to us. I predicted this. I just don't know.

I've never had a nemesis. Who was on who of this pro-union, anti-union? I don't know where Cheryl... I want to say Cheryl was pro-union, anti-union? I don't know where Cheryl... Yeah, was she anti-union? I want to say Cheryl was pro-union. She was anti-union. Cheryl was a union buster, apparently. Larry Pope.

Officers charged Pope with harassment, a violation, and ticketed him for throwing refuse... Yeah, he should never be allowed to go to a McCafe ever again. On a roadway. If we make a movie about this, are we calling it Dirty Pope? Yes. Randy and I have said this on our podcast it's time for a lady pope it is time i believe that like in the world lady it's time for lady pope she's got a cream colored like suit like anything a cream colored pantsuit and i'm like any of diane keaton's recent movies right anything

from nancy meyer's film is and she's just rocking it and she's just all about it is she's Nancy Meyers. Nancy Meyers going to read from the book of Lottie Dog. Yeah, this will tell you something about Larry Pope reached for reached Friday for comment Pope hung up on

the Buffalo News reporter. Hell yeah, Larry Dog don't talk to shit. Hell yeah, layer dog don't play that. You know what I mean? The patents reported that no one more like scary Pope. Am I right? The pat like Larry nope all right, excuse me. You told me up on that one. The patent report right, I don't know nope. Good point reported that no one has left any garbage at their house since Pope was apprehended and

warned by police Sunday night and blame the Pope. It's a huge relief. Cheryl Patton said I can look out in my front yard and not see a dozen coffee cups out there. Do you think Larry Pope calls his minivan the Popemobile? Of course, you know, he does. You know, he does. I think he

has. I think they let out some white smoke when they finally stopped getting the coffee cups. Yes, I bet he has a jacket that says layer dog. Okay, Dan, if they used a rear chokehold on this guy, I'd be like it's okay. Yeah, how old on this? Get out of your story one on this. Yeah, how old

is Larry Pope? Jonah, you are a guest. You can choose where you go. Seventy two. Seventy two. I think you're in the right ballpark. Jay, what do you think? 64. 64 from Jason Sklar. He's 61.

61 from Larry Pope. We'll close it out here. 15 years of having to put up with this. Larry Pope is 76 years old. Oh, my God, Jonah. Jonah Ray. You know what you're talking about. I've been bored and out of work before.

That's exactly the kind of thing I would do to fill up the day. Just to kind of give me an activity to go outside. Sure. Because you what? You got to go to McDonald's. You got to enjoy the coffee. So you enjoy it going down, and then you enjoy it going out of the Popemobile. That's it.

And you imagine Larry, like he throws it out, and then just kind of drives with the half smile on his face. It's like, got him. They ruined the best part of his day. It's like the end of it. It's like an Alexander Payne movie. Like Bruce, the best part of waking up was throwing soldiers from your cup. Yeah.

So he might die in the next year. If we take this away from him, he's got, I know he's got nothing to live for at this point. Three years. That is, that's at that point, it's a hobby. Three whole years. You love it more than the people hate it., it's a hobby. You love it more than the people hate it. If you're doing it every day

for three years. You love it more than you hated Cheryl. There you go. He doesn't even know why he does it. When asked why he did it, he's like, I can't even remember anymore. I don't even know who lives there. I just know I just know I got to do it. All right. There you go. First story down in the books.

Jonah Ray is with us. We are so excited. It is always a good time. We'll talk about stuff that he's got going on. Stick around. There's more Dumb People Town. Hey guys, welcome back to the show. We want to remind you guys we've got

live Dumb People Town on May 22nd and a good old fashioned chicken off. Oh my God, we're going to do show. We want to remind you guys we've got live Dumb People Town on May 22nd. And a good old-fashioned chicken off. Oh my God, we're going to do it. So it's the Doughboys, the Doughboys podcast, which is one of our favorite podcasts out there. And if you don't know what it is, get on it right now. They do the best breakdowns of chain and fast food restaurants

ever. It's hilarious. They're brilliant. And we're going to do the fried chicken. I haven't had one bite of any of them. And we're going to do the fried chicken. I haven't had one bite of any of them. So we're going to get a fried chicken sandwich from the chicken sandwich from Popeye's Kentucky Fried Chicken, Chick-fil-A, and maybe McDonald's. Blind taste test, and

we're going to decide which is the best on the show. If you had to guess, which one would you say? John, if you had to guess, which one would you think is probably the best? I think eating meat is murder. So all of them. Popeyes. Or Chick-fil-A. I'd stack them all

on top of each other. I would almost throw Chick-fil-A orgy. I think Shake Shack has a better one. We might have to quadruple down and put Shake Shack in there too. Anyway, all right. So we're going to do that. And musical guest is Chris Thiele from Nickel Creek.

Fantastic. So it's going to be really fun. Again, get your tickets at danielvankirk.com or nowherecomedyclub.com. I don't know how many more we're going to be doing of these at Nowhere Comedy Club. So please don't say, oh, I wish I could have gone, but I forgot.

It's just a good time. It's a really good time. It's just a good time. Get your tickets. All right, let's talk about this. Because as we're recording this, Jonah, you are in the midst of what are like several great screenings of movies and of mystery science theater movies. And you guys are doing it.

And then a telethon tomorrow. We're recording this on Thursday tomorrow. Of course, this will drop after the fact. But to raise money for a new mystery science theater 3000 season, just explain it because it is fascinating and amazing. And I just love the autonomy it gives you guys. Yeah. Well, you know, um, you know, five years ago now at this point is when we started the, we did the first Kickstarter, uh, for the, what would become the Netflix seasons. We did the mystery science theater return and then the gauntlet. Um, and that, you know, we, so we funded it completely with a Kickstarter and at the time was the largest,

uh, you know, video Kickstarter, uh, of all time until critical role took it. Uh, and then, um, basically, you know, we did the two seasons and like, you know, like Netflix, Netflix does, they just drop stuff. That's not like, you know, stranger things. So, uh, no huge surprise there. Um, but from doing a couple tours and stuff like that, Joel kind of had the idea that like, it's like, Hey, you know, maybe I should just kind of go back to my Minneapolis, you know, replacement roots, punk rock roots, DIY it. And just like do like, not like in not only fun new episodes, but like fund a hub, an internet hub for them to be at. So he's like with this new

Kickstarter that we're, we're going to be able to do 12 new episodes, it looks like. But it's also going to pay for a place called the GizmoPlex, which will be able to host live streams of the episodes we're making. We can put them out at like month to month. So it's like, because it's never been a binge show. It's kind of a show that

you, you know, it's like movies. So yeah, we're going to be doing more. And it's also he's expanding the world with it too. It's like they're movies. They're a lot over time. So yeah, we're going to be doing more. And it's also, he's expanding the world with it, too. On the last tour, which I didn't go on, he had a touring company. And so they're also now going to be, now the Mads of Mystery Science Theater are having multiple experiments going on. That's great. So Emily is going to be, Emily Marsh, who's a great puppeteer and comedic actor,

she's going to be playing Emily Connor, as in Sarah Connor. She's going to be a host. She's going to have her own Crow and Servo. I'm still going to be there with our friends Hampton Young as Crow and Baron Vaughn as Tom Servo. Amazing. But then because we've got enough episodes, Joel Hodgson is going to come back as Joel Robinson

and host a few of his episodes with J. Elvis Weinstein and Bill Corbett as his Servo. Oh, my God. That's amazing. Three of my favorite people in the world. That's so great. They're so funny and wonderful. And then is it something that people are going to,

you buy a subscription to the GizmoPlex and then it'll let you know when something new comes out or do you pay? I believe there's going to be different tiers of like a, like you can have a subscription to it where you're going to be able to access old classic episodes and old shorts and stuff like that. The mystery science theater is done. It's going to be a place where Joel can kind of experiment with different forms of riffing and whatnot.

And, and then I think there's also, you can buy tickets to like, you know, the events of, uh, like the kind of watch alongs of new episodes. That's awesome. We should do cheap seats on there. It's really exciting just cause we should, we should talk to him and do cheap seats on there.

We should do cheap seats as a part of the gizmo plex. You know what? Multiple people, multiple people have brought up like, uh, like they're like, it's like, Hey,

I'm not sure. Like on the comments, I'm seeing people's like, I'm not sure if anyone ever saw the, uh, like they're like, it's like, Hey, I'm not sure. Like on the comments, I'm seeing people's like, I'm not sure if anyone ever saw the, uh, the, you know, the Mr.

Science theater cameo on the show. Cheap seats. Yeah. They were amazing. We got them all. Like have a, like a section in the gizmo plex. And everyone was like,

that's a great idea. And then I chimed in with, uh, first time I was ever on television. It was on cheap seats. You were amazing. So basically it's only like, it's only natural that, that, that happens. That would be great. I will talk to Joel. Fine. Done. Alls. You were amazing. So basically, it's only natural that that happens.

That would be great. All right, we'll talk to Joel. Fine, done. All right, finished. Fine, thank you. Well, I'm so glad to me what it shows is the power of an audience that stays with you and the fact that you guys have created new content over the years. And the fact that you're a part of that universe just makes me so happy.

It's one of my favorite shows of all time. And you're one of our favorite people of all time. So to connect those two things, I'm so excited that you're a part of that universe just makes me so happy. It's one of my favorite shows of all time and you're one of our favorite people of all time. So to connect those two things, I mean, I'm so excited that you're going to get to make new ones, new ones. I'm really, really proud of what I did on the show and what we intend to do with it. The thing that's, it's just crazy that it was, you know, like me too is my favorite show. But what's kind of like nice is like,

and I remember talking to you guys, too, about when they were about to announce me as the new host, I was super scared because we were all there for the flame wars of Joel versus Mike and how that was always a conversation. If you said you liked Mystery Science Theater, people would go, Joel or Mike. I hated the fact that you had to choose. No, they were both amazing.

Yeah, exactly. And I remember my big response to when i was announced as the host i was you know scared of the fans of course because i was one too and uh i was just like i was like well if anything i'll finally unite the joel and mike fans against me yeah exactly but like the fact that they now know that i'm the host and they've seen what i've done the show and they're still donating this money and pledging this money. That's like a super sweet thing. That's a great feeling. It's an endorsement.

It's an endorsement. It shows that you got through that initial thing, and it shows how much I think the stuff that you guys did, that Netflix series, that run of what you did on that show, stands up right alongside everything that they did back at the beginning. Manos, all that. I mean, it stands up against alongside everything that they did back at the beginning. Manos, all that. I mean, it stands up against those original ones. And I think that's the highest compliment anyone can give for that show.

Because it's like a whole new band coming in, or a new Jeff Tweedy coming in for Wilco and doing an album that's as good as Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. And I think you guys did it. That's huge. Thank you. And I'll tell Joel that, too, and he'll like it. He likes any kind of indie rock

reference when it comes to Mr. Sincere. Joel's a great guy. All right, well, let's jump into another story. Ready for a second story? Yep. This was sent to you by Adam Poulton at Poultski75. Poultski. Headline is this, friends. Couple accidentally paints over artwork.

Yeah, can't take that back. Also, it starts out with the New York Post and they love to be their mediums. I'm sorry. Who has looked at any artwork in their house and said,

I can beat that? Let's paint over. Did you ever see the play Art? No. You know that play? It was a great play that was on Broadway years ago. Was Alan Alda in it?

Yep. So we saw it on Broadway with Alan Alda. Who is the guy who was the captain from Titanic? What is that actor's name? That guy, whatever his name is. We know his name. Crap, I can't remember his name. And Alfred Molina.

Those were the three main cast. I mean, incredible. And basically, Alan Alda- Buys a giant white canvas for a lot of money at an art auction and it's about these guys the whole play is

giving like this is an art I can do this it's nothing and it's just about there I'm in the relationship and it's kind of a brilliant

it's brilliant very simple really fun and obviously let these guys have these tremendous monologues and show their acting chops and it was beautiful

but maybe it was just a blank canvas they didn't know well here you go first of all it starts out with a wannabe journalistic joke. American gaffe ed. I'm sorry, a soft Korean couple mistakenly tarnished an American artwork when they painted over it. They thought they were allowed to do that

as participatory art and made a mistake, said Kang Wook, head of the exhibition in Seoul's Lot World Mall. Well, you can't do that at the Met, guys. Where the accidental vandalism took place. Accidental vandalism is a great name for a band, right, Jonah? Excellent. Dude, if you had a punk band named Accidental Vandalism, you'd be like, all right, I'm listening to the first three tracks. There you go. I'm going to skip to the second one and see how they really get going.

See how they get going. The damaged 95 by 275 inch untitled piece. That is huge. Was painted by Paris-based artist John One. John One. John Lost right here, aka Harlem horn, John Andrew Pereiro, Pereiro, Pereiro,

Pereiro, Pereiro, before a live audience in 2016. He painted it in front of a live audience in 2016. It was, or maybe hopefully still is, valued at how much money? How much money do you think the art is valued

that this couple was valued before the couple painted over it? All right, Joe, what do you think they thought they were in a museum doing like ads, add whatever you want to this time. It is, but what you just described two hundred and ninety five inches that that's a whole wall. This is gigantic. So, Jonah,

how much how do you assume that's a thing to do? I'm assuming this is one of those museums. You know those museums we all know about where you can go in and just right. Well, I'll tell you this before you guys arranged in front of the abstract opus were the were the paint cans and brushes. No used in its creation.

This is on the museum. They're considered part of the piece, which may have given the aforementioned pair the wrong impression. It did. This is on the museum. I'm on the side of those Parisians. Okay, so how much? And I hope that this piece was worth $7 million just to show how dumb of an idea

it is. $750,000. Okay. I think $2.1 million. It is seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Okay, I think to two point one million. It was worth five hundred thousand dollars. All right, still ridiculous. They walk up in this museum. There's this huge abstract art, so it looks like everybody and their brother has, like thrown some sort of brush stroke on, you know, like

that's what i'm not saying it isn't good, but that's what in a vacuum shouldn't the paint in the cans be like empty or like you can still have the actual brush over and like yeah you could still have the actual brushes and cans from that don't tell the artist what he can and cannot put in front of the thing don't tell the museum go over either indeed cctv footage shows the impromptu impressionists picking up the tools and adding their own dashes of paint to the work, a la the Joker's Museum makeover in 1989

Batman. What is this a greenly? I love that somebody was like I'm going to work Batman into an article today. You can't just play in prints on their phone. Right, right, right. They're like, come on, chief. I didn't do it last week when we had the story about toys and I was like where did you get those wonderful to

let me do it today with this no, not allowed to do it. Okay, so the clip concludes with a close up of the reimagined artwork, which now sports three ugly black splotches. I'm going to bring this up and I'm going to be guys. If I didn't tell you which part they did, can we guess? Can we get why he just said I splotches look? They made it better. They made it. I can't even begin to tell you what like I could have said they did you know what what on their the black splotches. I see him now. If you were to put that up, Dan... I mean, I think that works

because there's no other black anywhere else, right? Yes. Well, so if you were to put that up, Dan, and you said these guys screwed up, I'd be like, oh man, they screwed it up with the orange. You're like, no, it's not the orange. Also, look at the floor. Doesn't it look like...

People use stuff. It looks like everyone who's come up to it has tinkered around a little bit. Also, look at the floor. There's a sign saying don't go there. It does. There is a hand sign down there. It says don't.

By the way, this feels like Leroy Neiman just ate some mushrooms, you know what I mean? And this is what he came up with. Like if Pollock did, yeah. It is gorgeous. It actually is really nice, but I also do like the black in it.

So wait, Jonah, though, are you back? Who started you back on now that you see the don't sign on the floor? I mean, I could also think that the sign was a part of the whole idea, that the idea of this art piece was like, you know, clearly everyone can come up and paint this thing.

And we can't just obey every single sign, man. But here's the thing. The sign says. We have to make our own decisions. You can't keep us locked away with a, you know, one foot high little wall. We have to make our own decisions. We have to create when we can create. And we can do it however we want.

So I'm on the side of the artist. Thank you. Well, the sign says long-haired freaky people need not apply. So I'm on the side of the artist. Well, the sign says long hair freaky people need not apply. So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why. The sign says do not touch which you could say refers to

wet paint. Right. Don't touch. Don't touch. It's wet paint. Now, if you want, just be careful. Right. Or the sign could say to people. Or they're Korean and don't speak English. We got another dumb joke coming up. After reviewing the clip, authorities apprehended the Vandal Go's. Oh, God. Vandal Go's.

Cut this guy's ears off. At the mall. Also, this is at the mall. However, they subsequently turned. I was like, that's some good pain. Let's go get an orange juice. This wasn't at the mall. They were at the mall.

This is at the mall. Oh, Jesus. This is a museum at the mall. Right. at the mall. This is at the mall. Oh, Jesus. This is a museum at the mall, right? Yeah, yeah, great great steak and potato company goes go to the museum. However, they subsequently turned them loose when the gallery decided not to press

charges. It's cool as the graffiti job appeared to be an innocent mistake and an upgrade man. I love how much you love this. I get the mall. It's at the mall like the museum at the mall. Is it like Lou for Republic? Yes, it's

at souls lot world mall. Okay, yeah, L. O. T. E. It's in soul after reviewing the clip. They let them go. We're currently in discussions with the artist about whether to restore it said Kang of the damage display is what the movie soul should have been about

the artist didn't return. No, it's that movies perfect. The artist didn't return a request for comment from the post in the meantime, they've cordoned off the exhibit with wire fencing and put up a do not touch sign, which maybe that's up to date. Maybe that wasn't there before I wasn't there before to

tour others from adding their own tag. By the way, if this if this was Singapore, these people would be dead. They're children dead right now on the bright side, you know, as a graffito head myself, time you got a chance to get ups and

cap somebody, you do it. I did. They are really lucky that they that they didn't think like, oh, we could write something like they did just do more abstract art. Like what if they did Calvin or like who Calvin and Hobbes peeing on something? No, I mean, they're like and you can take that to the Banksy.

That's a good way. I didn't like in a ruin, a Jesus Christ fresca by painting a can of fresca in it. On the bright side, the incident has reportedly prompted a surge in inquiries about the display.

I wonder if it makes the painting more valuable. Because it's like a weird thing that happened to it. It wouldn't surprise me. If I were the artist, I'd come. All that kind of stuff, like all that fine art stuff, it's all like speculative. It's all the story that's projected onto it

from whatever dealer is. Now there's an even bigger story around this thing the rarest album say that this wasn't all planned right so it's more notoriety for the piece more people like one of the thing that like makes a rare album or a rare baseball card or whatever is when they're a mistake like oh no they messed this up it wasn't none of those hank aaron's hands were the other way yeah i like, what if the artist just comes out at the end and is like, okay, now it's complete. That's a power move. That would have been amazing.

That's a power move. And everyone claps. Yeah, it's very sad. But if you're recording a comedy album and someone speaks out or says something in the middle of a bit and you kind of in a very clever and smart way shut them down

or you make them part of the show for a minute, you're going to want that to be part of your album. You're not going to cut it out. So they put their crap on your album. That's story number two. That's story number two. Dan, give us a little tease of what we're going to get in story number three.

We have a guy who definitely wants some Pokemon cards. Okay. Jay understands this better than anyone. And we'll get a little, for our Patreon fans, a little story from Jonah Ray.

Here we go. Here's the headline. Japanese man scales building to steal Pokemon cards gets arrested. Yeah, you can't do that. The card market right now is through the roof. Jake, can we bring back our old Pokemon bit? So we had an old bit. You probably could.

So my old bit was that. Turn into a... What did you say? I didn't know what Pokemon really... I wasn't like down with the show, and my son was super into the cards when he was littler, and so I was like, let me just watch an episode of the show just to see what it is.

And I watched it, and I'm like, oh, this is just futuristic Japanese cockfighting. That's all it is. Your robot faces another robot. My animal, my monster, they fight each other, and we all watch, and I guess someone wins. But Pokemon Go was was insane people just walking off cliffs like into traffic to try and you got them but not one of them pokemon went to the polls

wait that doesn't work so but what was crazy was that uh so my son was into the cards and i was like let me wean him off those cards and let me get him into baseball cards maybe use baseball cards as the and so but the pokemon cards. Maybe use baseball cards. But the Pokemon cards had stats on the back, like how much energy, how much life, how much damage, all that stuff. So Jay got old baseball cards from our collection when we were kids and gave them to his son.

This is going to be a sports joke that Jonah may or may not get. He read the baseball cards like they were Pokemon cards. Because Pokemon cards came first for him. So he pulled out a card, Daryl Strawberry, and he was like, Daddy, what's his damage? And I was like, cocaine. In the 80s, it was cocaine. In the 90s, it was hookers. And now it's just a blind

faith in God. So that is his damage. That always works. That's where he asks any questions. That's Daryl Strawberry from Simpsons. You backdoored it. That's how I first got it. You scaled the building for that one, my friend, but I'm telling you guys these Pokemon cards. I was in a target

at like it was around ten in the morning. My son has a bunch of binders full of well. You need to take them out because I'm standing there and there is a line through the store and I said and then they start telling these guys like and they're like, oh, we're not doing wristbands and then the person worked are like no, we're going to do it this way and said I go. I go. What is this

for and he's like the guy on the Pokemon. They said that there I know a whole binder full. I know a guy who pays someone who works at target a hundred bucks a week. No to pull aside baseball, football, basketball cards and Pokemon cards for him, and then he gets some later. I'm clearly making money off that because you will they all are money. Yes, my God. It's insane the market right now. You better sell them right now. I'm going to go sell that shit. A Japanese man was

arrested on Monday for allegedly... What is money? Sometimes I wonder like what is stuff and what is money? It's like we're all just trading plastic for paper and paper for paper. Not even paper. It's all what we believe in it. Dude, I have a Ben Franklin rookie. You know you don't. It's not even paper by the way. It's like everybody who got paid their stimulus check rookie. You know you don't. It's not even paper, by the way.

It's like everybody who got paid their stimulus check, it was just an email. Boom, it's in your... Like you didn't even get the paper. My friend told me he's like some of these cards have pieces of game worn jerseys in them in the card and it's like a one of one or whatever. And I go, what if you just got a game worn jersey from the players?

I wouldn't be worth as much. The card with a piece of a jersey is worth more than the entire jersey. Basketball. I got to get someone's got to get me up on the Pokemon stuff. I got to I got to value my stuff. You can do it. Jake, I guarantee we have a townie who will help you. So a Japanese guy climbed a building. He arrested on Monday after allegedly

no not climbing descending a building by rope to steal Pokemon card. So he started at the top. He's the opposite of Drake. Wow, someone said Drake. That's also Drake. That's right. Here we. So he started at the top. He's the opposite of Drake. Someone said Drake that's also drink. That's right here. We go. He started at the top and worked his way down. We started at the top like like some sort of Hudson Hawk. Yeah, okay, like not free solo. Yeah, thank you, John expensive solo. I'm going to try this can Suke Nakash Nakanishi. I think I can seehi, can sick and can ishi and it

worker from tokyo used rope to scale down a six story building wow to steal training cards worth how much money it's got to be worth something jona. What do you think man i've gone what's worth what is worse time i went way over yeah what is worth seven million because I respect art. You got the age right. You're an art lover.

You love art. Pokemon cards are art. I'm going to say. What would be worth it? How much money do you think somebody would scale a building to steal cards for? $200,000.

Wow. Jay, what do you think? $10,000. I'm going to say $200,000. I was going to make the eight million yen joke. I feel like eight million yen, which is really like thirty bucks. No, I would say seventy five thousand dollars. Okay, ran you say seventy five two hundred and

what do you say? Ten thousand thousand okay, one of you, oh god is one thousand dollars. Okay, so go up or go down, go down, go up or go down. Jonah, you want to go up or go down, go down, go up or go down. Jonah, you want to go up or go down from two hundred thousand. I'll go down yeah one ninety nine j. What do you nine thousand nine thousand? I'm going to say seventy four thousand. Okay, he used a rope to scale down a six story building that is higher than it

feels like to a lot higher, a lot higher deal trading cards worth nine thousand one hundred and twenty dollars. Nice can see. I also stole two thousand three hundred and seventy dollars in case. Wow! The Japanese police said he made off with about eighty Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards and the cash hoping to pay off a debt. Got to catch them all. You got to be careful.

According to police in Tokyo's in the neighborhood, this neighborhood in Tokyo, the man went to the building's roof before dawn on March 23rd to tie a piece of a rope to a railing. We caught a thief a sore. If you look at me, he asked me that's weak at you, right? You might evolve into a railing. We caught a thief, a sore like me. He asked me that's weak at you, right? He might evolve into a convicted

source. Okay, I involved it to a felon using felon source using no safety harness. This dude is dead. I bet this guy doesn't even know how to like repel. This is better than free solo is This is, man.

I said it. Using no... Can I tell my free solo joke? My free... Yes. Did you see free solo, Jonah? I did not, no. Oh, shit.

You saw it. I have not seen it. You haven't seen it yet? But I've heard your joke. Both of you guys see it. But say it for the townies. For those who saw the movie. Free solo is the movie.

It's the rock climbing guy. It's a story of... It's a rock climbing guy who climbed the face of El Capitan. It's really a movie about a man trying to climb out of a relationship. Okay, one was trying to lock him down. Here we go.

Ready? Yes, he climbs to the roof. She couldn't sum it to the top of his priority list you using no safety harness. He climbed down about five meters and broke the window of a

trading card store before entering it. This guy loves Mr. Impossible. He's doing his own stunts. I love that he couldn't come in from the street. Ready for his explanation? Police quoted him by saying that he said, quote, I was in my high school's rock climbing club, so I wasn't afraid of heights. Okay, well, that makes it okay. Let him go, guys.

He was in his high school rock climbing club. Oh, geez. As long as you didn't show fear, you may not go. Yeah, well, that makes it okay. This works. Let him go guys. He was in his high school rock. Oh, as long as you didn't show fear, you may now go right. Yeah, I don't know. I don't like the way you tied that blade line. They said police said they identified him using surveillance footage and arrested him trading cards, though always coveted by

select loyal fans have seen a huge surge in demand during the coronavirus pandemic as people turned to nostalgic games to occupy themselves at home. In February, eBay reported a 574 percent increase in sales of Pokemon cards from 2019

to 2020 in the United States. Charizard Charizard, an orange dragon like Pokemon species, the most popular I'm going to ask you guys. We will leave Charizard is my favorite place to get burgers town. We will leave town on this. How old

is the man? I was like you say how much damage this Charizard had. How old is the guy who the guy 76? Is that what you said? How old is the guy who crashed through the store? Yeah, climb down from the roof 35

35 years old. Yeah, 24 24 from Jason's in all cases. We still think he lives in his parents basement. Am I right? Yeah, but he's got all these sweet cards. Okay, fine. 31 31 years old. All right, my friends spent a wonderful day in the town.

Jonah, love when you're here. The best. So excited for the latest season of MMS T3K. I love that you guys kickstarted that. Just keep an eye out. Fans of Mystery Science Theory 3000. Should they follow you? And you'll let everybody know at Jonah Ray how to watch all this stuff and how to sign up.

Yeah, yeah. It's going to probably be later in the year, so just kind of keep an eye out for that. We shall. Excited. The man who scaled the building to get some Pokemons that Jason probably has sitting in his garage right now. Damn, I got to go in there. Is 28

years old. Wow! I said 31. By the way, Jay, that might be what the guy was looking through your trash for. Pokemon. He's going to throw these Pokemon again. There you go. Stake them out, Jay.

Stake them out. Stake them out and catch them all. Jonah Ray, you are the best. Thank you so much for doing this. Love hanging out with you every time. Love you guys. Oh, shit. We got to get back to work.
