Population show.
Margaret Cho. Margaret Cho.
Margaret Cho. Hi Margaret.
It is so good to see you.
It's good to see you. Just pure joy
whenever we see you. So I think we met you
at like Caroline's in New York in like
the late 90s.
Probably 98 we opened
for you. Yes, that's true. It was
you guys and then sometimes it was
Jim Gaffigan too yeah crazy
town gaffigan opening for you so fun but you were so good to us from the get-go oh we had a good
time yes i'm largo out here the old largo and we've just been a fan of yours forever oh and
we're so glad to have you on here because we we believe the world's getting dumber i don't know
how you feel about that or if you...
It's true.
I agree.
Or dumb's getting louder?
Or dumb is,
it's the, you know,
I guess it's the new thing
to be dumb.
Right.
You're like,
that's it.
It's never been more okay
to be uninformed.
It's a good way to put it.
And opinionated.
Yeah, yeah.
It goes hand in hand.
Yeah, right.
But dumb shouldn't be the thing
and it is the thing.
So we have to take back
the smart, right? Right, I think thing. So we have to take back the smart, right?
Right.
I think so.
So we're fighting back with comedy and our dumb boots on the ground find amazing stories
for us to break down.
These are the stories that get passed around.
They get sent to Dan.
We've never heard them.
Margaret's never heard them.
No.
But Dan's only kind of heard them.
Yeah.
A little bit.
So let's jump into one right away.
Let's skim.
Ready?
Here's the headline. First, I should say it's sent in by Kim Gaston,
at Kim underscore Anne, A-N-N-E, underscore 42.
Thanks, Kim.
I can't underscore enough how much I appreciate it.
Her name is underscore.
I love this headline.
Ready?
Shirtless woman arrested after hitting bus,
then flipping stolen postal truck and going on foot chase in northeast Portland.
Portland, Oregon?
Hits a bus, flips a postal truck, yes, and then goes on a foot race.
And this is all shirtless.
Yeah, that's good.
At some point.
She either has really small breasts or she's just like not caring.
Or just a lot of endurance.
There's something inside of me that's saying,
what man did this to her?
Not even man.
What bad relationship forced her to do this?
But is it like a punching of the bus?
How did she hit the bus?
There are one or two ways.
Okay, but let's pause it before it even happens,
because I like guessing before we know the details.
She hit it with a car.
So she's either, she drove a postal truck into a bus and then it flipped it and then she ran away.
Or she's like got superhuman strength.
She punched a bus, walked over to a postal truck,
flipped it, ripped her shirt off Hulk style
and then just ran out of it.
Yeah, and then why shirtless and not topless? Usually women are topless. Right, men her shirt off Hulk style and then just ran out of it. Yeah. And then why shirtless and not topless?
Usually women are topless.
Men are shirtless.
Dudes are shirtless, yeah.
Maybe because she still had a bra on?
Topless is like... That's all she was missing?
Yeah, but topless is more like
seduct... There's a seduction
to it. Right.
Shirtless means like you lost your shirt.
Yeah, they don't call them like shirtless dancers.
That would be great.
Yeah, a ton of shirtless dancers.
Although the Thunder from Down Under, those guys are shirtless.
It would be great to be like topless dancers if it was like no shirts, full bar.
No shirts at all in here.
No shirts.
You know what would be great?
They go shirtless for the whole show.
If it was a topless bar,
everyone had to be topless.
Right.
So even if you're going
to go in there
and you're going to sit
and pay your money,
you've also got to,
and you're a guy
who wants to like lurk,
you got to take your shirt off too.
I think that's a good idea.
I think that's more equality.
Yeah.
That's good.
And topless bars
should only serve tiny plates, right?
Yeah, those are topless.
No.
Topless.
Topless.
Topless topless bar.. Topless? Topless. Topless topless bar?
Shirtless.
Come on.
Here we go.
I apologize.
Portland, Oregon.
KPTV is where we get this.
A woman stole a postal truck, hit a bus, flipped the stolen vehicle, and ran away before she
was arrested in Northeast Portland, according to police.
When was the last time you were in Portland?
Not that long ago, actually.
So good up there. Oh, I was there. We'll Portland? Not that long ago, actually. So good up there.
Oh, I was there.
We'll be there in June.
Oh, you guys go to Helium, right?
We go to Helium, although we're going to do our podcast live at the Baghdad Theater.
Oh, how great.
It's so great.
That's awesome.
That's a great theater.
That's great.
But there's a lot of casual stripping in Portland.
There is.
And great restaurants in strip clubs in Portland.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
There's a vegan topless restaurant
Vegan topless
Well, it's a strip club, but it's vegan
I mean, they're a little strict on the rules
And I heard that they put a stripper on
Administrative leave for having a yeast infection
I think that's going too far
That's not vegan
Well, yeast is alive
Okay, yeast is alive.
Okay, yeast is alive.
It's just more of a culture.
It is a culture. So is this woman's infection.
It was also alive.
It's alive.
It's alive.
But then, yeah, Portland is, well, I would say maybe Portland would be why the shirtless
thing is mentioned because Portland, I think you can be braless, topless as a woman and
it's legal.
Right.
You're cool. Because they don't
free the nipple,
in other words. There's no zoning
going on, anti-nipple
zone. Even near schools.
Officers
describe the woman as a, quote,
shirtless suspect.
And they're like, that's all we're
saying. By the way, if I'm ever
just described as a shirtless suspect, people have not seen our body of work.
The investigation began at 12.15 p.m. Thursday on the 16,000 block of Southeast Adler Street.
Police said a woman stole a U.S. Postal Service truck and hit a passenger bus near Northeast 162nd Avenue and Wasco Street.
So you're on the bus and you're like, I can't believe it.
I already hate that I'm on the bus.
Right.
What else is going to come around?
What is this postal truck doing right now?
And it is just coming around.
She's going postal.
Yes, that is seriously going postal.
That's the definition of going postal.
In the traditional sense of the word.
Three people reported sustaining minor injuries on the bus due to the conclusion.
Collision, sorry.
In conclusion.
Yeah, in conclusion.
You're drawing your own conclusions, Dan.
Officers attempted to stop the stolen truck, but they said the woman was driving erratically
and crashed near Northeast 155th Avenue, so that's seven blocks, and Fremont Street.
She then ran away and was not wearing a shirt but had been wearing a blue jacket
when this all started. So at some point
She just wanted to be
more aerodynamic? I don't know.
She flipped the postal truck at
155th Avenue and
lost her jacket or shirt. She lost her jacket in the
process. I guess. Maybe she got hot.
There's a lot of activity happening.
Maybe she got hot. She's moving. She's trying to be
light on her feet.
It sounds like CrossFit.
It does sound like it.
High interval training.
First you got to flip that truck over there.
Then you got to go over there.
First you got to get real angry about things you can't control
and your own mistakes that you won't admit to.
Then you got to steal people's mail.
Then you got to question why she left you
and you take it out on that tire over there.
After you do the bus hit, you're going to go over. You got about
seven blocks and then you're going to flip
this. This could be describing the
CrossFit Games.
You're literally talking about what could be
on ESPN. And the person's like, wait, you want me to do
all this? Hey, I don't make it up.
Jake in the main office makes up what
we have to do every day. Look at the big board and see
where you fit. Have you ever done CrossFit?
I have. I hurt my knees really bad.
But it was a...
You know, I didn't warm up correctly.
Then I went at it too hard. You came
straight from a bar. I did. You were drinking
and you're like, can I try this?
Have any of you ever tried to work out
slightly intoxicated? It's so bad.
I've never done it, but I think about it every
time I drink. I'm like, I could go to the gym.
Can I get back to the hotel on the road.
Go right now.
Let me turn this into a productive night.
It's so dumb.
I'm just in jeans on a treadmill like a stepdad.
Let me just do some cardio.
Chasing these kids.
They aren't even mine.
No respect.
That's what's on the screen.
When you know the new ones where they have
the screen for you to look at, like you can run along a
beach, they're like, stepdad, of course.
It's you trying to keep up with kids.
A bunch of kids at a Walmart.
No, don't go over there.
We gotta check out. You got them.
The woman identified as
Monique Cortez Munoz was
taken into custody after the foot chase lasted how many blocks?
First of all, do we know that this is not actually the comedian money?
She'd be crushing it.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't think so.
I doubt it.
I don't think so.
How many blocks do you guys think after stealing the truck, hitting a bus, flipping the postal truck, getting out without a shirt,
and then running from cops and foot, how many blocks do you think she got?
I would say four.
Four blocks.
I'm going to say like 14.
14 from Jason Sklar.
Yeah, she's booking.
I think she ran about eight blocks.
Eight blocks from Rudy Sklar.
Eight blocks just free balling.
Play along, townies, because Mon monique cortez munoz was taken into
custody after a foot chase lasted 12 blocks wow that is a long foot run from the cons after all
that you think your adrenaline would have already dumped out on you she's still going she's still
going monique is am i the only one of us that's surprised that she had shoes on
do we even know this i don't know if Am I the only one of us that's surprised that she had shoes on?
Do we even know this show? I don't know if she did.
Right.
I don't know.
That's not.
She takes them off.
I'm a barefoot runner.
If we're going to do this, we're doing it right.
Or she might have the Vibram, like the ones that go in the toes like CrossFitters.
I mean, Skeletos.
Mm-hmm.
Those always creep me out.
We saw a guy at the airport wearing Skeletos with a suit.
Oh, that's awful.
What business meeting?
Decide who you want to be.
What business meeting are you going to?
Supplements.
Supplements.
Are you going to a business meeting at a climbing gym?
What is happening right now?
There are no reports of injuries to any officers or the suspect.
Guys, think about this.
She hit a bus, flipped a truck, then ran 12 blocks.
And she's a superhero.
Does she work for the post office?
She should
We get there
How does she get this
Maybe she took the postal shirt off
Because she didn't want to be identified as a worker
But she was taken to the hospital
Due to her drug-induced behavior
After being released from the hospital
Cortez Munoz was booked into the
How do you say this?
Multnomah
Multnomah fault
Multnomah
By the way If you told me that you had Cortez Munoz disease,
that's like where your toes don't touch.
I would believe that.
Suffering from severe Cortez Munoz.
The bottoms of my feet are really bad.
I have Cortez Munoz, so I got to get extra arches.
It's like a never-ending callus.
Do you ever see those things?
I watch the videos where there's so much callus
that they just keep shaving the bottom of their feet.
Do you watch pimple-popping videos, too?
Yeah, yeah.
She's a friend of mine, actually.
Really?
Oh, the Dr. Pimple Popper?
Yeah, she's great.
I've never watched a frame of that.
Dr. Pimple Popper's your friend?
Yeah.
She came over.
Actually, I wasn't home, though.
She came to your house?
She came to my house.
I wasn't home.
She was doing something.
She broke in.
No, she was doing something with somebody else.
But yeah, she's like... She brought the door open. She left a bunch of food in my refrigerator. She was doing something. She broke in. No, she was doing something with somebody else. But yeah, she's like, she left a bunch of food in my refrigerator.
That's very nice.
She's a good friend.
That's really nice.
That's incredible.
What kind of food did she leave?
Thai food.
Nice.
Get out of here.
She made like a chicken curry and left it.
It's like when we had Sarah Silverman on, she made us eat all that food afterwards.
Remember?
Yeah, she's like, do you guys want to eat?
And we're like, yeah.
And then she started taking out all this awesome stuff.
Papaganoush, all this stuff.
Wait, wait.
So does she ever get sick of popping pimples?
No, she loves it.
She's obsessed with it.
I can't watch any of those videos.
I'm not against anyone else and whatever their enjoyment is,
as long as they don't push on me.
Okay, so we know who she is.
So part of it is that she is helping people pop pimples.
So that's a great thing.
It's a lot of lancing, right?
It's a lot of lancing. A? It's a lot of lancing.
A lot of homas,
which have the fat,
big fat buildups,
like the big fist size.
Wait, wait.
So my wife loves popping pimples
if there ever is one on my son.
She loves it so much.
Does she like the beginning,
middle, and end of it?
She loves it all.
So she loves that aspect.
She loves it all.
And also the smell
and how much water comes out.
And sometimes it's like in a bag.
Yeah.
It's usually in a bag.
We're going to keep the bag.
But it's like, you know, the cells form around it to make a kind of like a.
You want to scrapbook it.
Yeah.
But she loves it.
I don't like the dry ones.
I like it when it's wet.
But when it's dry, it really is awful.
Yeah.
Okay.
And with that, we're going to take a break.
Margaret Cho is with us.
It's Dumb People Town.
I'm so happy she's here.
We're going to tell you about touring and stuff, then ways to see her, and we'll recap
her classic appearance on Law & Order.
Right after this.
Stay with us.
Stick around.
Make a sound for more Dumb People Town.
Hey, guys.
Welcome back to Dumb People Town.
You know that we, when is this coming out, guys?
What did we say?
The 19th-ish?
The 19th.
Now, you just were on Law & Order, and if people, maybe they can find it on NBC.com.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure they can.
I'm sure they can.
You can talk about it.
It's so good.
Let's hear about your experience.
I had a good time.
I was a sex trafficker.
Come on.
What?
Who was a real person.
She was based on this real snake,
it's called snake head,
where she brings over Chinese people
on like a storage tanker.
Yeah, yeah.
And then they give her a bunch of money
and then they're indebted to her for years and years.
And so she makes them work in like sex work
and all different stuff.
So you were the bad person that they were looking for.
You were not the red herring.
Someone else was the red herring and then they found you?
Well, I was the red herring
because I actually uncovered a deeper,
sort of a worse person than me.
Oh!
There was actually a worse person.
So that was like us.
That was like you guys.
Were you based off the Trump associate lady?
No, but similar.
Yeah.
Similar to that.
So we're like a Mar-a-Lago
people. Yeah. And there was an episode of The Wire
where like all those girls die. Oh yeah.
The great Tang. Is that also what just happened
in, was it Ireland? Yeah, it happened
in Ireland. Yes, 39 people.
From Vietnam and China, from
the Fujian province. It's horrible.
Crazy. Because there's no oxygen. It's not
meant for people to travel in. No, it's a storage
tank. And a lot of times what they do is they'll like take their passports and then you have to work to get it oxygen. It's not meant for people to travel in. No, it's a storage tank. And a lot of times what they do is they'll take their passports and then you have to
work to get it back.
It's an indentured servitude.
Exactly.
It is slavery for however many years because it's impossible to pay it off.
It's terrible.
That's what we learned when we were up in San Francisco.
That's what we learned about the term getting Shanghai'd.
That term was like they would take workers, sea workers, and
tell them to go meet at this place.
Meet at a bar. They'd slip them a mickey.
Right. Lead them through
a trap door. They'd fall through the bottom
of the door. There'd be broken glass
everywhere. They'd take their shoes and people couldn't
leave because there's broken glass everywhere. And they're like,
you will now work for us for the next
seven years straight. You've been shanghaied.
That's why it doesn't.
When anybody today says that.
I went to Starbucks and I asked for a half cap.
They give me a full half.
Those guys Shanghai'd me over there.
Really?
Have you seen your family in the last seven days?
Throw you on broken glass.
You weren't Shanghai'd.
Okay.
You had an indenture.
I mean, really.

and be like, I got to win these people over?
Oh, yeah, totally.
You do?
You do.
I did a show one time in Umeå, Sweden,
which is really, really, really far north,
where you can hear the sky, you know, the
northern lights that kind of like
Borealis.
And the audience just sat
there and they didn't laugh at all
for an hour and a half. And then at the
end of the show, they all stood up
and they sang
a Swedish song and then they gave me a knife
made out of wood.
Is this a punishment?
No, no, no
They really enjoyed it
Here, sit on this

really weird places. I did a weird show
this weekend, which was in a bank
in San Francisco across the street from
a sex club. What? Phenomenal.

a terrible time with the audience. I was like, please,

That's how I want to say it.
RCMP's Crime Reduction Unit.
Wouldn't that be all cops?
Royal Canadian Mountie Police.
I know.
Arrested eight people over four days for stealing bikes they had put out as bait to catch thieves.
It's a little cop fishing.
They just put out a bike,
and then they wait to see who comes try and take it,
and then they arrest that person.
However, there was one arrest
that stood out to them in particular.
Okay.
A groom was allegedly caught stealing a bike
while on his way to his wedding reception.
This is the pedal-away groom.
Yeah.
Great movie. The runaway bride. Eric Roberts stars as the the pedal away groom. Yeah. Great movie.
The runaway bride. Eric Roberts
stars as the pedal away groom.
Between the ceremony and
reception. Please tell me you've done a movie with Julia Roberts.
Oh no. Have you ever
worked with her? I have worked with her. Of course you have.
Of course you have. I did a reading
which was really weird. They did a reading of the
women with
it was Julia Roberts,
Meg Ryan,
Diane Keaton was there.
No way.
It was all
of those actresses
and Dakota Fanning
was a child,
like a really little kid.
Wow, yeah.
And then,
but we all did this reading
and then I guess
they made the movie
without me,
but I was there
for the reading.
How was the reading?
The reading was really tense.
Was it tense?
It was somebody's house,
like it was like a, Like a Mal somebody's house. It was like a-
Like a Malibu house.
It was some huge Malibu house.
Of course.
And I can't remember whose it was.
It may have been like Nora or Delia Efron when Nora was alive.
It was because Nora lived at the Dakota.
I worked on a couple of Nora Efron projects projects but they never ever actually happened.
I got paid for the fact that
they never happened.
So I get like $1.62 residuals
every couple of years.
Perfect.
You're like, oh great, a check.
No, it's $1.62.
God damn it.
So it was a lot of tense.
Everybody was really tense
and nobody would use the bathroom.
And I was like,
this is really tense.
I'm going to take a shit in here
just to loosen it up.
I did say that one time
to Debbie Allen
in Sandy Gallen's beach house.
Because his toilet
was like a magnificent view
of the water on the beach.
Of course it was.
And I said,
that must be amazing
to take a shit in here.
And she just looked at me
and then walked out and didn't talk to me again that must be amazing to take a shit in here. And she just looked at me and then walked out
and didn't talk to me again
for like two years.
What a feeling.
Wonderful.
Seeing's believing.
Seeing's believing.
You knew where I was going with that.
Wasn't Debbie Allen fame
and not flash dance?
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
What are you doing?
Now I'm mixed up.
Now I'm mixed metaphor.
She and I were right there with her.
Mixed metaphor.
They went together.
It doesn't matter.
She knew what I was doing. Now a mixed metaphor. She and I were right there with her. Mixed metaphor. They went together. It doesn't matter. She knew what I was doing.
I was going to say, I'm going to shit.
Look, I put the bike out there and Margaret Cho stole it.
Yes.
I was going to say, fame, I'm going to shit forever.
There you go.
I'm going to learn how to fly.
The groom was allegedly caught stealing the bike while on the way to his wedding reception.
The idea to me, that's what I was saying, is that between your ceremony and your wedding
reception, you're like, you know what? A little bit of me today. I got to get there. that's what I was saying, is that between your ceremony and your wedding reception, you're like,
you know what? A little bit of me today.
I gotta get there. Something borrowed.
Maybe you're drunk and
you're still hungover from the
bachelor party that happened the day
before and then you're like, oh, I'll do this
really now. That's how they always used to be, right?
Bachelor party was always the night before. Now it's like
two months earlier and a big
destination. Where is David?
We need pictures of him right now.
He was wearing a suit.
I got it. I get there.
I got it. I get there.
This is also, you don't have a good
wedding party. That somebody let you
like, you good to go to the reception by yourself?
You don't want to be on the trolley?
You guys have fun.
I'm going to drive myself over. You don't need me. We paid for all these goddamn past hors d'oeuv have fun. I'm going to drive myself over.
You don't need me.
We paid for all these goddamn past hors d'oeuvres,
so I'm going to hit him.
So how do we know he's not pedaling away from this?
He was wearing a suit,
and they asked him why he was dressed so nicely
when he was stealing the bike,
said Corporal Jody Schelke with the RCMP.
He had just left from his wedding and was on his way to his wedding reception
when he saw the bike and decided to cut the cable and put it in the back of his pickup truck.
Oh, so he was not riding.
No, he was driving.
Jody Shelke.
I'm imagining Jody Shelke like when she puts on chapstick, she's like, that's too much makeup.
I cannot.
Right.
No funny business. What am I, a whore? Or she puts him on with the. She's like, that's too much makeup. I cannot. Right. No funny business.
What am I, a whore?
Or she puts them on with the lips pursed, like closed.
She's mad when she does it.
Damn it.
I will put this on right now.
What is going on, though?
What is this grooms?
How are they viewing life?
They are looking for bikes to steal while driving a truck.
That's what they're on the lookout for, even on this
day. Even on your special
day. Well, there is a feeling
when it is your wedding that you're like,
it's all about me today.
Or there is a feeling like, there is a tiny
thing. Let me get out
all of my
craziness before I settle down.
Marry somebody who wants to get crazy with you.
Thank you. That's what you should do.
You're right. Some people are like,
we got to lock it up. Why are you
getting married?
Don't get married. Don't do it.
Police said the groom
was arrested while driving with a prohibited
license. When he failed to show up
for the reception, the bride called the groom.
Imagine that call. Honey?
Everybody's here?
What? You aren't here.
I was
picking up a few things.
Okay, yeah, we have everything
we need. Are you sure?
No. Well, you're
right, actually. We need you.
I'm coming. When?
I'll be there as soon as I get one
or two more bikes.
Bites?
Bikes.
Okay.
She did contact the groom through his cell phone inquiring where he was, and the officers
answered.
That too.
That is a bad moment.
Because she knows she's worried he's dead.
When the cop answers, oh, he died.
My husband just died on the way.
So maybe now that sets it so bad that they're coming back to it.
It's not that bad.
Yeah.
I guess that's okay.
Yeah, you're alive.
It's fine, yeah.
It's fine.
I don't know if it's fine.
No, it's fine.
Maybe.
All right, that's fine.
Well, we're going to start without you.
No.
Just here doing the dance we learned for the last six weeks uh if i dance with your
your best friend brett then because you know you're not here yeah uh okay she called the
cops answered brett's gonna drive me home tonight if that's cool and advised her that he was in the
jail cell and likely would not be making it to the reception.
It's always that cop thing where they speak vaguely.
I wouldn't say he's probably not going to make it.
If I were a betting man, because they're all Canadians, remember?
Shelke does not know why the groom chose to steal the bike on his wedding day.
I guess the compulsion is so strong for them to steal that even on something as important as their wedding day,
well, you're assuming he thinks it's important.
This is a Saturday for
this guy. He might have been looking for a way out.
That's what I'm saying. But he's too stupid
to realize you just had the ceremony.
It's done. You're just going to the party.
It's not a whole deal.
They stopped to cut the cable
and steal a bicycle. So I think it's just
so much ingrained into their lifestyle
and their habits that, you know, that's what they consider doing on their wedding, Shelby said.
I love that they're saying they.
It's just her.
Well, they arrested eight people.
They weren't all getting married, though.
No, that would be hilarious.
The bike bait operation undertook resulted in eight arrests and 23 criminal charges.
As part of the program, the RCMP placed locked up bikes in places they think criminals may
see them and do surveillance on the bike.
If they suspect someone is trying to steal one, they make an arrest.
Don't steal a bike.
Yeah.
I'd like to get out there that it's very important that people who have bicycles, if they're
leaving them somewhere, I've had two bikes stolen in the last two years.
Lock them up.
They were locked up.
And it's not intended that it's not okay just to use a cable lock.
So that's a little helpful tip.
Sure.
There you go.
You learned something.
They can be clipped very easily.
You need to keep it in your house, which is what I do now, or their garage and lock.
They used to have a bike lock that was like a Kickstarter for a bike lock that exploded.
Yes.
It was like a bomb inside.
Yeah, like the dye packs in a bank bag that explodes.
I was so excited about that, because I have a bike too,
and I was always scared it was going to get stolen,
but they couldn't get it funded because it was just dangerous.
Right, to have a little explosive built into it.
I mean, wouldn't that be great?
That's wonderful.
Some guy just walking around just covered in purple.
And so unexpected.
Yeah.
That would be great.
All right, guys, that is the story.
Look at that.
Number two. Don't get married. Well, never, guys. That is Look at that. Story number two.
Don't get married.
We'll never, yeah.
Don't get married.
The story is
don't get married.
The pedal away group.
Not don't steal a bike.
No.
Dave Anthony's old joke
made Dave Anthony
rest in peace.
I mean, he's still alive.
He's not dead.
We just want him
to get a good night's sleep.
He has a kid.
You know, his whole joke
about he was playing basketball.
Or someone was playing basketball.
Someone was playing basketball
and they had to jump a fence to play in this pickup game.
This guy was newly married.
And as he was jumping over the fence,
his wedding ring got caught on the fence,
and it pulled his finger off.
Oh.
So he said the moral of the story is don't get married.
Okay.
There you go, Dave.
Listen to the dollop.
Enjoy that.
All right, when we come back,
give a little tease of what we got for segment three.

Sent in by Catherine Tuck at Catherine Lorna.
She went two for three.
It's a good day at the ballpark.
Good day for her.
Thanks for sending both story number two and this one, story number three, into us.
It's pretty common to experience constipation
and it isn't
pleasant when you feel
bloated
and uncomfortable.
That's not all, as you have to exert
more force when you're trying to relieve your bowels,
but do be careful
because a Nitzan,
I'm trying, in Hong Kong shared how this mother lost memories
after she had an excessive poop at home.
She lost?
She shat so hard she forgot.
I'm going to ask you guys, how many years of memories, how many years of memories do
you think this woman lost from having an excessive number two? Oh my God. How many years of memories do you think this woman lost from having an excessive number two?
Oh, my God.
How many years?
One year, two years, 17?
How many years?
I don't know.
She shit so hard she lost.
I mean.
She shit so hard she lost the 1980s.
Okay.
Jason?
I'm going to say a decade.
10 years. I would say
20 years.
I think she lost 13 years.
I think it's a specific amount.
One of you is
exactly right.
So now we get to play the game of
who do we think is right.
Jason? I think I'm right.
I think it's a decade. I think I'm right. I think I'm right. I think it's a decade. I think I'm right.
Okay.
Good for you.
I think I'm right.
We're going to all stick to our guns.
Okay.
The woman dropped a deuce so hard.
Jeez.
She lost.
Play along, Tony.
Ten years of memory.
That's just a whole decade gone.
Honey, what happened in there? Who are you?
Do I
know you?
Was it the last ten or like her
first ten? I think it was. According to
China Times, a man
said that his mother had experienced constipation
two weeks ago. Some shit to remember.
Some shit to forget. Some shit to forget.
Here's the thing.
She now no longer can watch I Love the 90s.
Or she watches like, whoa.
Yes, surprise, surprise.
What year is this?
Who are these Backstreet Boys you speak of?
She was constipated two weeks ago,
and she was feeling very uncomfortable.
She had gone to the toilet to relieve herself and spent quite some time
inside.
But when she came out,
she suddenly suffered from amnesia.
That is unbelievable.
Her family members discovered she had forgotten everything that happened over
the past 10 years.
And this lasted.
How long do you guys think it lasted before her?
Her memory came back
One week
One week
A month
Six months
I wish that'd be more fun
It lasted eight hours
But still that eight hours
Is enough to scare the shit out of her
I wish it would have scared the shit out of her
Because she would have kept her memory.
Her worried family sent her to the hospital.
Imagine those doctors being like,
what do you want us to do?
What can we do?
Give her a concussion.
No, do not.
Give her some dates.
Instead of the doctor thinking
that there was something wrong with her brain,
but when doctors checked on her,
they found her brain to be functioning normally.
Oh my God.
Don't push that. Do not
push that hard. If it's pushing
that hard, go get some prunes.
How hard is pushing?
That's hard. Do you know when it's really dry
and sometimes, do you ever want to dig a finger in
and pull it out? That's what some people
have said that they want to do. Howard Stern
talks about that all the time. You get a hook
and you pull it down.
And then it's like a series of stones. Sit up straight, Howard Stern talks about that all the time. You get a hook and you pull it down. Pull it down.
And then it's like a series of stones.
Sit up straight, breathe,
press on your lower abdomen,
get some squatty potty.
It is like a ground hug.
If it wants to come out, it will come out.
That's right.
And if it doesn't want to come out,
six more weeks of winter.
Ten more years of memories. If it doesn't want to come out six more weeks of winter. Ten more years of memories.
It doesn't want to come out ten more years of memories.
Oh, my God.
The excessive force led to an increase in abdominal and intracerebral pressure,
which caused a lack of oxygen to flow to her brain.
That's a push, resulting in short-term memory loss.
The doctor also said that people
who are highly emotional or frequently carry heavy objects have a higher risk of suffering
suffering from temporary amnesia he advises those who experience a similar situation to always go
for a checkup he added that these people are 30 more likely to experience a stroke compared to an
average person it's important to ensure that they are healthy.
And then they close it out with this.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables to keep your bowel movements regular.
Peeps.
That is like when a menu talks to you.
You're going to love these chicken fingers.
Stop talking to me, menu.
Just tell me what you have.
Did it say peeps at the end of it?
I swear to God. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables to keep your bowel movements regular.
Peeps!
Exclamation point. Who's writing that?
Ten years.
That's like the scene in
Gross Point Blank
where he's in the car.
Ten years!
Ten years!
I dropped out of school.
I joined the army.
I became a hitman.
Ten years! Wow. That's a fun little story. I joined the army I became a hitman and then 10 years
