But right now, Jonah,
we have to deal with the fact
that the world is getting dumber as we speak. I mean, all these things we're saying to talk about Jonah Radio in a little bit, but right now, Jonah, we have to deal with the fact that the world is getting dumber
as we speak. I mean, all these things we're saying,

Sent from our wonderful fans.
Dumb boots on the ground.
And they send those stories in, and then we have to
try and break them down. So Jonah, you want to jump into one
right away? If it makes me seem
superior to dumb people in the world, I'm all

I've been there. We'll see.
We'll see, bro. It holds up a
mirror, bro.
A mirror? A mirror. A mirror.
I call mirrors mirrors.
I hold up a mirror. It's a
Juan Miro.

He's a Chua Nua nuance. He's a Ron Merle. Bro. So we started to come with this character that Jonah would really like.

Ready? Yes. This one starts out with quite a question.
Who sent it, by the way? Sent in by Jennifer
Hansen at GopherPuck
fan. Minnesota
hockey fan. Minnesota. Minnesota hockey fan.
Minnesota.
How can starting off the day drinking from a box of wine possibly go wrong?
Ask any woman who's 39.
I don't know.
I was going to say, if her name is Diane and she's my mom,
she'd say, that's how you started off to go right.
Yeah.
She said, that's how you start off.
That's how you start off boys and no father.
Well, Franzia.
You start off the day like that.
You're talking about starting off a day, right?
Have you noticed that there's not high-end boxed wine?
Yeah.
There isn't?
There isn't?
What did you say?
There isn't?
You know what?
You're right.
Name another thing you can drink out of and then make furniture out of.
Can't do it with bottles.
That's a good point. Name another thing you can drink out of and. Can't do it with bottles. What's a good point?
Another thing you can drink out of and then ship a package in.
It definitely, the day that would be, it definitely ended in cuffs for one Florida woman.
Mary Ellen Stewart.
Hey, master.
You got to say hey.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Mary Ellen Stewart.
Hey. Was chilling on a beach on the property of a St. Petersburg hospital,
drinking out from the spout of a box of Franzia Sunset Blush wine on Thursday.
Hold up.
Should a hospital have a beach?
I know there's so many details.
Is this the hospital from Awakenings?
Are they all just sitting in a circle throwing balls at each other?
I'm sorry.
Did I say beach?
Yeah.
I meant bench. Oh, bench. I should have left it there. Regardless. So much all just sitting in a circle throwing balls at each other? Did I say beach? I meant bench.
I should have left it there.
Regardless, so much better if it's a beach.
I'm going to go hang out at that hospital
beach. Okay, so things are
not going great for you if you're drinking wine out of
a box. Things are going even
worse for you if you're literally drinking
from the box. Like you're not pouring it
into a glass. And now put yourself on a hospital
bench. It could be worse because
I have known people to take it out of the box
which is now just a bag of wine
and you can stash that easily
into a concert.
It's a concert, exactly.
My box pig. You got my box
bag, bro.
A box?
A bag box? I don't know.
A bag of boxed wine? A bag of boxed wine. I'm not sure if you've ever broken box a bag of boxed wine
I'm not sure if you've ever broken
into a Franzia box before
but it is a bag
it's a silver bag
if possible
it is somehow a sad bag
it looks sad
it's the alcoholic
version of a colostomy bag
she took that up by drinking
Not just boxed wine in the morning
Boxed wine from the spout
Of the box
On a hospital bench
What is a hospital bench? A bench outside of a hospital?
In a hospital
Her chosen flavor
Franzia
Sunset blush
You know who came up with that?
Dennis Franz Is he dead? Franzia. Franzia. Sunset blush. You know who came up with that?
Dennis Franz.
Oh, really?
Dennis Franz. Is he dead?
I don't know.
This is according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the smoking gun.
If the box wine didn't make Stewart stand out, so her sitting on a bench pouring it.
Her nakedness did.
The fact that she was topless definitely did.
I know this woman.
We know her too well.
Police noted in the report that Stewart was allegedly, quote, in view of the public and that her breasts were completely exposed when they approached her around 10 a.m.
Dan, I've heard of wanting a top off with your wine.
This is ridiculous.
A little top off. A little top off.
I say free the nipple.
Thank you.
You have the guts to say it, Jonah.
When they approached her at around
7.40 a.m.
Oh, so the end of her night.
She didn't go to the hospital.
She ended up in the hospital.
They said that
security and nursing staff witnessed this.
It is kind of interesting. You wouldn't know which one to send
over. By the way, aid or
assistance. There was one orderly
who turned to another and said,
best morning ever.
Yes.
How about Grey's Anatomy?
The
arrival of police didn't appear to distract
Stuart from her alleged morning task, like it's a chore.
Yeah.
At first, in the report, police wrote that she, quote, held the box wine over her head and began to drink from the spout.
Hey, this is the way God intended it to go out of a box.
This is the way they drink box wine in the movie 300.
I thought you were literally just going to say, this is the way they drink box wine.
Period.
This is the way we do it.
You can try as you might.
You can't pour it into a glass.
Montel Jordan said it.
This is how we do it.
Or This Is Us.
Like, this would be a way.
But if this was the This Is Us, the TV show.
And I love Chris Sullivan, but I would like.
I put him in this.
He's the orderly.
She seemed to change her tune when police tried to take the wine out of her hands.
Well, now you're going to fight.
What song is she singing?
She already doesn't care.
She's got no top one.
She's got Chicago No Hope.
Stewart reacted by allegedly, quote, began to shake the box intentionally toward deputies
in an attempt to splash wine on us.
You want it?
You guys want it?
Yeah.
Let's see your titties too.
The wine t-shirt party.
Like it's gasoline and you're about to like,
I'll spray it on you.
You probably should run a car.
It's pretty flammable.
Yeah, for sure.
Police arrested her and brought her into the station
where she posed for quite the mugshot,
which we'll see in a second.
Oh, she definitely posed quite the mugshot, which we'll see in a second.
Oh, she definitely posed for that mugshot.
Stewart was charged with disorderly intoxication and was released from jail the same day on her own recognizance.
The affidavit lists that Stewart is unemployed.
She lives in Kenneth County.
What? Hang on a second.
Wait a minute.
Jonah, I do not buy this for one second.
She lives in Kenneth County about a 10-mile distance from where the incident took place.
She's a notary public.
I hope she was not on a run.
I think she's a notary public.
She's training for a half marathon.
Half marathon.
And you drink a half a box of wine for every 13 miles you run.
It's not clear if she has a lawyer who can speak for her behalf.
She doesn't appear to have any prior arrests.
Before I show you this photo, and we end the first story from today,
how old do you
guys think Mary Ellen Stewart is?
You know it's 740? Say her name one more time.
Mary Ellen Stewart.
Hey. Hey.
Jonah, you are our guest. You can go first, Tigger, or third.
33. 33 years old.
The age of our Lord. Yeah, exactly.
It was a box of water before.
And turned into a box of water!
That's her defense. You guys don't understand. I was a stream of water.. And turned into a box of water. That's your defense?
You guys don't understand.
I was a string of water.
Oh, no.
That's what's up.
Boom.
Can you believe boxed water?
You guys should be cheering.
Boxed water is still a thing.
Yeah.
I thought that would be gone so fast.
That's a box of water.
Yeah.
It's in a milk carton.
It's like the milk carton one, right?
Yeah.
Never had it.
It's pretty good.
It's fine.
33.
Turns out, as far as water goes.
It's wet.
Yeah. I'm going to say, but how cold can It's fine. 33. Turns out, as far as water goes. It's wet. Yeah.
I'm going to say, but how cold can it get?
And how cold can it stay?
I'm going to say she is 49.
49 years old.
Topless and 49.
I think she's 41.
41?
Yeah.
Okay.
33, 41, 49.
We're going to close out the first story with this.
And all of our townies, please play along with us wherever you are. And if you want to see her pose, it's going to close out the first story with this. And all of our Taiwanese, please play along with us
wherever you are.
And if you want to see her pose,
it's going to be on the Facebook page.
Oh, yes, for sure.
Mary Ellen Stewart
is
81 years old.
Oh, my God!
Even she can't believe it.
By the way, can I just say,
she looks, and I'm being 100% honest here,
she looks
76.
76.
Neither one of you can finish Randy's joke.
She looks 76.
She's looking up at God
like, what do I have to do for you to take
me off of this planet? She's looking like she just like What do I have to do for you to take me off of this planet
She's looking like she just saw
A photo of herself
Here's my thing if I'm the cop
And she's 30s 40s
I'd be like come on we gotta go
But she's 81 I'm like
I'll take you home
Whatever what do you want
You know what do whatever
You want to be topless drinking wine go ahead
Nobody's getting hurt here 81 years old live it She doesn't have much time left What do you want? You know what? Do whatever. You want to be topless drinking wine? Go ahead. Yeah.
Nobody's getting hurt here.
She doesn't.
81 years old.
Live it.
She doesn't have much time left.
No.
Or maybe she has a lot of time left.
Maybe that's the answer.
Maybe she thought the boxed wine would take her out, and then luckily she'd be right next to the hospital for them to finish the job.
She's already where she needs to be.
That is some ahead thinking.
Yeah.
That's ahead planning.
She's thinking like, I don't need an ambulance.
I love this already here.
Mary Ellen Stewart.
Hey.
All right, there you go.
Story number one,
down the books.
Jonah Ray is with us.
We'll talk more about
a big announcement
on the other side of this break.
This is Dumb People Town.
Stick around.
Make a sound.
There's more Dumb People Town.
Hey guys, welcome back to Dumb People Town.
Dan, you have some dates that are right around the corner.
Tell people where you are. I do want to let everybody know.
Guys, the Together Tour is back out on the road.
We're doing another leg of dates.
Go see him, please.
Go to danielvankirk.com to get all the specifics, links, and where you can buy them.
But I can tell you right now, starting on the 26th of June,
I will be in Chicago, Madison, Kansas City, St. Louis, Indy, and Milwaukee.
Get your tickets.
A Midwest run right there.
I would love to see a whole bunch of you townies join me.
So go to DanielVanKirk.com and come to the Together Tour.
Love it.
And we're going to be in San Francisco at Cobbs on the 28th, 29th, 28th, and 29th.
We're going to be in San Francisco at Cobb's on the 28th, 29th, 28th and 29th. But the bigger news for us is that Randy and I are within this larger network,
starting our own little podcast network with hand-picked shows that we love.
And Jonah Ray, Jonah Radio, one of our favorite podcasts that we've ever done
and ever listened to, is coming to join that network.
And we're so happy that
you're with us. So we kind of have worked with you to help, you know, I mean, it's amazing show,
really fantastic show. And we have sort of worked to kind of develop it. And I wouldn't even say
retool it. It was just sort of pull out the best parts of it to make it what it is. And it is
lean and funny and structured. And I think it allows you and Neil and Cash to be the most
you and Neil and Cash that you can be.
We could barely keep up with the pace we've set
for ourselves. I love it! It's hilarious.
It makes me laugh every time.
Tell people the premise of the show in case they haven't
heard it and we're going to tell you right now.
You get on and subscribe to it.
We want to make this a juggernaut and this is the way
we're going to do it. If you like this show, you will love that show.
Well, Jonah Radio, you know, we take submissions from musicians and bands. I love it. We want to make this a juggernaut, and this is the way we're going to do it. If you like this show, you will love that show. Well, Jonah Radio,
we take submissions from musicians
and bands.
Some good, some terrible.
I try to pick the ones that I genuinely
think are good.
You aren't known for your taste.
I don't try to approach it
in a negative way. It's more to celebrate bands
that are working. A lot of people send me bands.
They're like, here's my band from college. I go,
no. I want an opportunity
to get your music heard. If we can help propel it.
Yeah, exactly. Well, no, you have picked bands
before they've broken
a little bit, too. A band I played,
some kids just out of high school,
they just got signed to a
big record. Can't say it yet.
Can't say it!
It's Silverchair. It's not a silver chair.
They got a three record deal.
Really?
Dude, you are a tastemaker.
It's all about helping the community, the larger art community.
That's awesome.
So you play these submissions, which is great, and they're cool with you playing their music
out there because you get it out to tens of thousands of people, which I love.
Yeah, but we also go over, it's three, you know, it's three older dudes that love music
and grew up listening to music
and then we go through
the music news of the day
and try to figure out,
you know,
and then it's a way
to keep up with stuff
and have those music arguments
that I miss
from working at record stores
and so on.
It does,
I was going to say,
it feels like
the best way of high fidelity
that's sort of like
those guys hanging out
and having whatever discussions
that they're having.
And everything starts with the source material, a lot like this show, like these stories.
But then it devolves into riffs about absolutely everything on this planet.
Yeah, I mean, it's fun tracking news, too.
You know, like we're still in the middle of the Lil Nas X saga.
I mean, it is a saga.
It is a...
Can't nobody tell him nothing.
Yeah, yeah.
Which I was like...
So everyone can tell you everything.
Yeah.
Because it's double negative,
everyone can tell you anything.
But you just called it Old...
Old Town Road.
I thought you were going to call it
the Old Country Buffet.
Yes.
And that would have been different.
I'll listen to that.
That's the parody I'm working on right now.
But then we found that Cupcakey,
who's a rapper out, I think, Chicago or Detroit, she did a parody of it.
I want to take your D, put it in my hole.
There you go.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
But me, Cash, Neil have been buds for a real long time, and we all hate each other, I think, a nice amount.
I know you love each other so much that you can afford to hate each other.
It's come around the cul-de-sac.
To me, you ripping on Neil for any little screw-up that he has
is one of my favorite things.
They're not little.
They're indicative of a larger problem.
That's the thing.
Cash is kind of happy-go-lucky.
We all want the best for Cash.
Cash is a very large man
that we all want to live for a long time.
Yes.
And we're not sure.
He's actually even bigger than you.
Is he bigger than you?
He's taller.
He's taller.
Let's not make him a giant.
Let's not make him a golem here.
I'm not the big fat guy working with him.
No.
But also, Neil, he wanted me to mention, because he's very proud of this.
I told him I was coming on this show.
Yeah, he's the best.
He says, try to mention that they've been doing my Ace Frehley joke, and it's been noted
to me with proper attribution from people all over the best. He says, try to mention that they've been doing my Ace Frehley joke, and it's been noted to me with proper attribution from people all over the globe.
At a picnic in Stockholm, a guy was like, this is the Ace Frehley guy.
Yes!
Because we mentioned Neil Mahoney, because Neil Mahoney, we said when we saw a video
of Ace Frehley.
Of Kiss.
Of Kiss.
You said, have you seen Kiss lately?
Our friend Neil said that Ace Frehley looks like a baked potato on top of two French fries.
And he added not regular French fries, crinkle cut French fries.
So it looks like his legs are buckling under the weight of the potato.
All right.
Great.
Neil Mahoney, we give you full credit for that.
Here's what I'm going to say to you guys, our Dumb People Town fans, before we jump into the next story.
We cannot endorse this show anymore.
This is a really special endeavor for us. Like you said, we couldn into the next story. We cannot endorse this show anymore. This is a really special endeavor
for us. Like you said, we couldn't endorse it anymore.
We have fulfilled our
sick of it. We're done.
We cannot do it anymore.
I hate the sound of my own voice.
Try as we might to people.
I just think,
if you want to hear three hilarious
dudes, one of them being this guy right here,
talking about music, which is something that everybody loves.
And you want to learn about new stuff, bands that you would not know about, and you just want to have fun.
It is such a fun, like, it's not even an hour sometimes.
It's under an hour a lot of the times.
Yeah, yeah.
And we also do theme stuff.
It's like we recently said, what are the rallying hometown stadium games?
It's like, what's the music to replace?
What's going to replace Don't Stop Believing?
Did you guys?
Okay, Seven Nation Army has taken over as a huge stadium.
But when Queen made their song, yes, in the movie,
they said, yes, we wanted something where the fans can come in.
But did they think to themselves, this would be like,
We Will Rock You will be all that?
Or do you guys do the best songs
to hear as you're walking home from a party?
Yeah, what's like walking home from a party?
I love it. It's so good.

Let's do it.
Let's jump in.
All right.
This was sent in by Bill Robinson at Mr. Bill Robinson.
Thank you, Mr. Bill.
A jar of, I do not know what this is, so you guys can tell me.
Gherkins?
Gherkins large. Tiny.
No, tiny pickles.
Gherkins are like.
Tiny pickles. Tiny pickles. There you go from Hawaii. You mean cornichons? tiny pickles tiny pickles
tiny pickles
there you go from Hawaii
you mean cornichons?
yeah they're like cornichons
a jar of gherkins and a gaggle of helpful
internet soldiers
strangers maybe soldiers
came to the rescue of a Perth man
who found
found his naked buttocks super glued to the top of a homemade bar on a Friday night.
Found them?
Yeah.
Like they were detached from him.
Yeah.
Well, there they are.
Is this King Missile's follow-up to detachable penis?
Detachable buttocks?
Million in one shot.
They're not so tiny, gherkins, but they are pickles.
They're small pickles.
Small fat.
They're not so tiny, gherkins, but they are pickles.
They're small pickles. They're small fat.
In Australia, Noah, our producer, just said, in Australia, gherkins are regular.
Because everything on Shazam, that's not a pickle.
There's a pickle.
That's your Yakov Smirnoff, Australian Yakov Smirnoff.
That's not a pickle.
In Australia.
In Australia.
The sky's behind the seemingly innocuous title,
Who Do You Call When You're Stuck?
A post by...
Wait, who do you call when you're...
Is that an Australian game show?
No, this is...
I think it's going to be on Reddit.
So the title of the post was just
Who Do You Call When You're Stuck?
I would say Ghostbusters.
You backslash agent641 to the Perth section
of the popular internet forum Reddit
revealed the hilarious misadventures
of an amateur carpenter.
Well,
Jesus
should call the Bible, at least the New Testament
hilarious.
If that was the
name of the Bible, I would read
that so much.
It's like Alexander's terrible, horrible, no good day.
Yeah, exactly.
Jesus Christ, terrible, horrible, no good.
No good 30-30.
My favorite psalm is the wobbly chair.
Yeah.
Well, there's a quote from the post by Agent6401.
Well, I wanted a nice from the post by Agent6401. Well, I wanted a nice shiny coffee bar counter top.
So I cut and sanded and stained it all nice and applied a coat of epoxy resin Thursday night.
One of the hapless man's post reads, quote, it's supposed to set hard in 24 hours.
That's what she said.
set hard in 24 hours.
That's what she said.
So tonight, after having a shower, I came to check on it
and I wrapped my fingers on it
and it sounded like hard plastic.
So I thought it was set.
That's what she said. I was curing it
in the living room because it's the least
dusty place. Sounds to me like you
have a larger issue within your home. Right.
Where do you live? In the bush? For Christ's sake.
Perth. Anyway, I just
happened to sit down on it.
Put clothes on. Don't start doing
household things out of the shower.
Naked. He sat on it
naked. Have you guys ever found yourself being like
doing the dishes and you're like, I still need to put on pants?
Yeah. No. Never.
Can I say that? Wait, wait. Can I say that
my 10-year-old son last night
said to me, he's like, I want to take off.
Dad, don't say this on the podcast.
No, yeah.
And he'll be so mad.
Please do not.
I want to take off all my clothes and I want to sleep in nothing.
And I was like, I don't think you should do that.
I don't think you want to become that kind of man.
Yeah, because I was like, if that becomes.
In my mind, I'm like, I don't want to restrict you from being free.
But my excuse was, what if the house catches on
fire and you need to get out quickly way to go to the worst case scenario you want to run out do
you want to run outside with no clothes on and he was like what if a man from perth finishes a coffee
counter and you have to sit on it you need pants on i can tell you this my cousin kenny doherty
fireman has told me that about 20 30 years ago ago or so, you would have anywhere from like three minutes,
four minutes to get out of your house
if it was engulfed when you woke up.
Enough time to get underwear.
With now.
With the way houses are built and the materials they use.
And the type of things we buy and fill our houses in.
You have one minute.
You have about 45 seconds.
To get out of a house when he's got to sleep in his underwear.
Thanks, Dan, for confirming.
Thanks, Dan.
Boom.
There you go.
My child. Also, don't sit on something that's got a pod. I asked Kenny, too. I go, do people really not have time to get out of a house when he's got to sleep in his underwear. Thanks, Dan, for confirming what I told my child.
Also, don't sit on something that's got a podge.
I asked Kenny, too.
I go, do people really not have time to get dressed?
He's like, nope.
No.
Also, you're going to serve people on that bar that you just made.
Put your ass on.
Thank you.
Are you that territorial?
Yeah.
You already own it.
It is your territory.
He's marking it.
He's marking it.
And all he did, remember, his checking was, it sat for 24 hours, and I tapped it a little.
Tapped it a little.
Yeah.
Wrapped my fingers.
Dan, he did his due diligence.
Uh-huh.
Anyway, I just happened to sit down on it while I was reading the instructions that came with the epoxy.
Nope.
Read them ahead of time.
So you're admitting you need to learn more about how this works.
Read them ahead of time.
While sitting your ass on it.
Just some light reading.
This is his epoxy lips.
Wondering if he should give it another coat, which is why he was reading the instructions.
When I was done reading the instructions, I went to stand up and couldn't.
Nope.
That had to have been a great moment.
I'm going to show you guys this photo.
This wouldn't even be in an episode of Home Improvement.
Right.
This is so dumb.
It is the epitome of dumb.
This is a picture of him sitting on the bar watching TV with pickles next to him and his naked thigh.
And I'm sure the pickles couldn't come up either.
So everything's nailed down.
I think he's watching Battlestar Galactica.
Is he watching Battlestar Galactica?
I can't tell you.
It looks like Edward James Olmos right now.
It doesn't? Yeah. It almost looks like it.
Okay, you two.
At Sklar Brothers.
For all your
two-way minutes.
Wow, Daniel, you really let these guys
wear you down.
He's had enough.
I can't endorse
them more.
I can't endorse Jonah Radio more than I endorse him. I can't endorse them more. Wait, I can't endorse Jota Radio more than I endorse...
So I'm kind of sitting here with a slab of...
I can't do it.
With a slab of Jara attached to my butt cheeks watching Battlestar Galactica...
There you go.
...and waiting for the non-emergency DFES number to return my call.
I guess that's how they work.
There's so many bad shit going on in Australia.
They're like, we got to call you back.
We'll call you back.
We'll hold your place in line unless someone with worse shit calls.
Is a spider hanging from your balls?
Then you got to wait.
Then we're good.
The Post attracted more than 300 comments with Redditors advising the man called 000
or a friend.
I would venture if he wouldn't be in this position if he had friends.
If he had a friend, they'd be like, hey, don't sit on that.
That was the hope for making the bar.
That's right.
How about this?
This will bring people over here.
Now I'm going to do something that's going to stop it.
Every person from Australia I've ever met is so
gregarious and nice.
What I'm about to say could only
happen on a Reddit thread that's either
Australia or Canada.
One woman went so far as to offer
to drive over and help the man himself
because she wasn't busy and quote,
the husband is sleeping.
She also wanted to see a d
maybe oh yeah
little sticky d but it was a
throwaway line that provided the
inspiration for his eventual escape
what a pickle
omg yes
the man replied
at sklar brothers
one of the release agents Google mentioned was vinegar.
That's the tiniest gherkin I've ever seen.
I can't get to the
ace tone. I thought the woman wanted to be his release agent.
Maybe.
I can't get to the ace tone.
Husbands asleep.
Hey, when the husband's asleep, the gherkins won't keep.
You know that story.
Honey, where are you?
Oh, you're not going to believe this.
I'm where you
thought I was.
I'm where you thought I was.
I left you a note
detailing.
I went on Reddit.
Just the usual.
Went on Reddit. A naked
guy got his ass stuck while watching Battlestar Galactica
I drove over there to get him off
And I'm here to free that ass
Come on
She yells at him
She yells at the husband
She should know
She's mad that he can't figure that out
You should know
I went on Reddit.
I found it.
How many times do I have to tell you this?
He's like so perplexed.
He was making a coffee bar.
Jesus.
Honey, I'm just, it's the middle of the night.
Of course it is.
This is why I want to talk to somebody.
When else would a guy sit on a coffee bar that he made unchecked?
Well, you were asleep.
Right.
Yeah, it's the middle of the night.
It's his fault.
I can't get to the Ace Tone
or the thinners in the garage.
It won't fit through the doorway
because he wanted to see
if he could carry the thing
attached to his ass
out into the garage.
This is how much we know each other.
All you had to say was,
honey, where'd you go?
Like, this is the best.
I'm like, this is the greatest funny
you two you two have derailed i'm literally crying it is so funny to think of
about her being mad at him and he's standing in the living room with his hands on his hips. Where? Start from the top.
What do you want to know?
She's annoyed.
Oh, I guess you don't want me to help people.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
So we're supposed to-
An isolationist policy.
Oh, so because I married you, I'm supposed to stay faithful to you.
Okay.
Yes.
Oh, oh, all right.
Oh, okay.
And if you-
Oh, I'm the bad guy because I'm going over to someone else's house to pull a dick off
of him.
I'm the bad guy on a thing. But I someone else's house to pull a dick off a thing.
But I know I have a jar of pickles in the cupboard I could get to because, remember, he can't get out to the garage while carrying this bar attached to his butt.
Eat the pickles and use the vinegar to weaken the surly bonds of resin.
This is now plan A.
An hour later, the man posted an update saying that Gherkin's juice was working.
Before again updating his enthralled internet following with news,
he had just realized he had a jigsaw within arm's reach,
and he could have cut down the bar counter so he could exit the home
and get the chemicals in the garage.
Oh, I thought he was going to cut his ass off it.
Oh, no.
But if his ass is on it, his balls are on it.
Yeah, everything's on it.
I was able to get the Ace Tone and the Terps and use these to accelerate the fantastic work my pickle juice has been championing.
There's a picture of the bar.
I guess he cut it up or he sat on one of the slabs.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
Still watching Battlestar Galactica while I dissolve my assload of resin.
Great band.
Hilarious. Assload of resin. Great band. Hilarious.
Assload of resin is the silver chair of our time.
And it's going great.
You're going away too fat ass.
Stop.
Saturday morning, the man reported feeling, quote, a little tenderness, but not much pain.
If anything, my butt feels thoroughly exfoliated.
A little tenderness, but not much pain is my favorite.
We'll leave you on this.
The man did not respond
to attempts to contact him
through Reddit. Why would he respond?
Why would he respond? He got the help he needed.
But he did put it out there in the
world that this was happening to him.
He hasn't responded to the husband of the
wife.
I just want to corroborate the story.
I want you to know that it's happened.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Unbelievable.
That's so Australia.
That would not happen in New Zealand, and that's not a knock on Australia or northern
New Zealand.
That is a very Australian thing.
There you go.
All right, there you go.
Story number two in the books.
Now, we've got Joe DeRay with us.
Can you give us a little teaser of what we're going to hear in segment three?
Oh, we've got a business with a bad name you give business a bad name we'll be right back with more dumb people

But we've tightened it and it's funnier than it's ever,
and it's better than it's ever been.
If you are a fan of Jonah Ray
from Mystery Science Theater 3000,
he is the host of the new version of that show,
which is just phenomenal.
I love it.

Salon sign.
Sandusky Register.
That's Ohio probably.
Oh, boy.
Here we go.
Ready?
Hand jobs, nails, and spa.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
There is no...
That went through several hoops before it went up.
It went to a sign place.
Or just one owner who's an ass.
No, no, no.
A sign company was like...
Didn't call him back and was like,
hey, let's make sure.
Are you sure you want this?
Hand jobs.
Hand jobs in Sandusky, Ohio.
But they're not wrong.
It is a job done to a hand.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
My job is working on hands.
How many hand jobs did you do today?
Stop it.
Stop it.
Perkins Township.
I got news for you.
When I finished with each of my hand jobs, every single one of my customers was happy.
No.
So you're saying there was a happy ending to all of your hand jobs?
Every single one of them.
Sometimes being right is wrong, Dan.
Perkins Township.
A new nail salon sign is rubbing some people the wrong way. Stop it!
At Journal Brothers.
Yeah, at Sandusky Register.
Dawn Moons. Should have
called it that. Dawn Moons.
I gotta go over to Dawn Moons to get my nails
done. Dawn Moons Nail Salon is scheduled
to open. Here's what I'm doing today. I'm going to Dawn Moons.
I'm going to Dawn Moons.
Dude, you know I'm gonna believe it.
It's Dawn Moons.
I'm going to Dawn Moons. N, you know I couldn't believe it. It's Don Moons. Don Moons. Gone to John Moons.
Nail Salon is scheduled to open Monday at 220 West Perkins Avenue down the road from
Universal Equipment and Rental.
Why do they get a shout out?
Jesus Christ.
So ridiculous.
Where is that place now?
The guy who rents this, his brother-in-law owns that.
He can tie it.
Mention it.
Is it really down the road?
It's not down the road.
David, did you mention it?
It's around the corner.
Or it's like an advertising package.
You get three half pages, and then you get a three by four that will run in six weeks of the paper.
Then we also work your business into three or four stories that we write up.
It's like on Stella when David Wayne sees the poster on the wall, but he has to walk around the corner to see it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You see his reaction like, oh, my God. And then he walks around a corner and sees a poster on the wall. but he has to walk around the corner to see it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you see his reaction like, oh, my God.
And then he walks around a corner and sees a poster on the wall.
There you go.
That's what we're doing.
So, and the name of the sign is, of course, Handjobs.
Handjobs.
Recently, I was in Monaco, Wisconsin, and I was walking by a neon sign for a barbershop.
And it was for, it had a little cursive of the name of the guy
who runs the barbershop his name is uh uh kurt so it's kurt's barbershop uh it can get tricky uh
kurt is uh is is spelled with k and so what it turned out to look like with the cursive
barbershop barbershop yeah i can send this to you guys so you can put it on your face.
Put it on the face of the page.
We'll put that in the Hall of Fame.
Cunt's Barbershop is the hand jobs of hand jobs.
Yeah, hand jobs.
Dawn Moon's Nail Salon, like I said, right near Universal Equipment and Run.
Is it right down the way from Universal Equipment and Run?
Cunt's Barbershop is just a hole in the wall.
I don't like to go there. I don't like
to be there.
What if he was a body waxing place?
Kurt's Body Waxing.
Kurt's Body Waxing.
But the name Handjobs Nail and Spa is already
drawing attention. I wanted something that
people would hear once and not forget.
Well, there you go. You got it.
You got it, Don. She seems to have
accomplished her goal. Pictures of salon signs gaining attention on social media.
But the reaction to the name, which is a homophone with a sexual act, no shit, has been mixed.
Wait, wait.
So here's the deal.
Robert Kraft has already signed up for three bizarre manicures.
Oh, it's just a donut place in Sandusky, Ohio, where every donut is handed to you through a tiny hole in the wall, but you only get donut holes, and it's called Glory Holes.
But where is it in conjunction to Universal Equipment?
It's right down the street at two blocks over.
I think they could be a little bit more diplomatic with what they named their business, Perkin Township trustee Jim Lang said.
Yeah.
Lang was not cleared with this.
No.
He is very upset.
No one ran it up the Lang flagpole.
What would you name it that would still, like, just call it Nailed It?
Nailed It.
Nailed It's probably.
I've seen a Nailed It.
Yeah, it has.
Nailed It.
Nailed It.
You know who does the best?
If Neil Mahoney owned a nail store, it would be called Nailed It.
You know who does the best creativity with what they're selling and what the name of their place is?
Thai restaurants.
Yeah.
Thai restaurants are always like, tie me up.
Tie me up.
There's other ones.
Win, lose, or tie.
Yeah, that's another good one.
You want the win, though.
You don't want the lose.
Pho does it a lot, too.
Yeah, 9021 Pho.
Yeah.
Pho does it. And I love. Yeah, 9021 Foe. Yeah. Foe does it.
And I love them.
I love them all.
Moon wasn't surprised
by the negative response
some have directed
toward the name,
but she said there's also
been positive feedback.
I absolutely knew
there'd be people
who wouldn't like it,
Moon said.
Of course there are people
who are just egging her on.
So this wasn't just a mistake.
She's actually,
she knew what was up.
The reactions have been
either you hate it or you love it.
It's about 50-50 both ways.
I bet it's not.
By the way, it's 50-50 both ways would make it 25-25 and 25-25.
50-50 is all you needed to say.
This is a person who also doesn't know when to stop.
Right.
You know what I mean?
But also people just settle for the salon, right?
Yeah.
100%.
Where's the nearest nail salon?
Right here.
You can get a handjob over down the street.
Oh.
The sign was up for only one day before Moon and Perkins Township.
That sounds like a great band, too.
Moon and Perkins Township is like just straight.
It's a Creedence Clearwater Revival band called Moon and Clayton Township.
They contacted her to tell her the sign violated the zoning law.
The township said Moon
didn't apply for a signed permit
because you always ask for forgiveness,
never ask for permission. That's right.
And failure to obtain the permit is a
violation of the zoning resolution. Always put up the sign
for the business you want, not the business
you actually have. Megan
Sherlund,
the township zoning inspector, said Moon
picked up the permit for the sign Thursday. Once it's turned in, it'll be reviewed. Megan Sherlund, the township zoning inspector, said Moon picked up the permit for the sign Thursday.
Once it's turned in, it will be reviewed.
Megan Sherlund has a leather computer bag whose zipper is broken.
Perfect.
Perfect.
And she loves...
Fix it, Megan.
Your stuff is flying everywhere.
She loves a good charm in her wine glass.
in her wine glass.
Megan Sherlund has never walked
more than 3,000 steps
in a day.
Megan Sherlund
is constantly
growing out her bangs.
Megan Sherlund
only walks
on the outsides
of her shoes.
Megan Sherlund
is afraid
of balloons popping.
Megan Sherlund is afraid of balloons popping. Megan Sherlund
is constantly leaving now.
Megan Sherlund
will be there for three minutes. If you don't walk out of
the building in that time, she's driving.
She gave you a chance. She told you three times.
She is the building inspector. Megan Sherlund has told you three times.
So she's the last person. Megan Sherlund wants the same
thing she had here last time and she needs you to
remember what it was.
I'm not going to tell you again. Megan Shalund wants the same thing she had here last time, and she needs you to remember what it was. I'm not going to tell you again.
Megan Shalund is the worst possible person to be sitting in judgment of this handjob
sign.
Megan Shalund wants to get there before the kitchen closes.
That's right.
Okay.
Megan Shalund gets seated four times before she's comfortable at a table.
Can I try that one?
Megan Shalund's family waits in the front area before Megan Chalund is ready with the table. Megan Chalund
will not use her name
when at a beeper-style
restaurant she uses the Joneses.
And her whole family knows. Jones Party
Affordable. And the Chalund family is like,
that's us. Let's go. Megan Chalund
finishes every sentence with, that's how they get
you.
She picked up the permit
Megan Shillen sucks
I'm sorry
You're in it
I couldn't hop in
I was never good at double dutch
Neither was Megan Shillen
Never has been good at double dutch
Although Megan Shillen
Great at triple dutch
Once it's turned in
The sign will be reviewed
Until then
The zoning department
Doesn't have a stance on the sign's content.
This is perfect.
If she had not put up the sign and got the zoning...
Look, if it were me...
They wouldn't let her.
But now they can't take it down until they review her permit.
If it were me...
It's so out of my hands.
It's out of my hands.
I got to let them review it.
Megan, sure.
We have not seen the permit for the sign, so we cannot review its content.
Look at it, Megan.
There's only one line in the zoning resolution
that restricts indecent phrases
on signs, but what we consider indecent
is vague. Regardless of other
meanings, Moon contends the name is
an accurate reflection of her job.
Jonah up the gate.
As nail techs, we work on
hands all day, Dawn
Moon said. My job is someone else's
hands. That's what I do.
Hand jobs. So go on down. If any
townies can go
to Hand Jobs Nail and Spa,
take a picture of Megan
Sherlund and Don Moon.
And her rickety computer bag.
What's the name of the county?
Perkins Township. Perkins Township.
Go check it out. We want pictures right there. There you go.
All right. 220 West Perkins Avenue.
Right near Universal Equipment and Rental.
How close to Universal Equipment?
Which way?
Say I'm looking north at the park across the street from Universal.
Okay, good.
Now I know what you're talking about because I didn't know until you said that.
There we go.
That's the show.
I don't know if I've laughed that hard in months.
It's fun.
