Starting point is 00:03:12 You've got a series of commercials running right now. Yeah. The iPhone. Yeah. That's an Apple. I actually don't totally know. There's like three of them. AT&T.
Starting point is 00:03:23 And they run all day Sunday during football. So during sports, they're just running every version. I'm telling you, a minimum during the Bears game last week, I would guess, I saw you in one of your various commercials at least 12 times. And there were two different ones. Yeah. Good. The one where you add the clock, you make a custom clock.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Uh-huh. I add a number 13 to a clock. Guys, it's really good. You guys. Guys, that is like, it is why we are dumber. Well, look, we are dumber as we go. Every commercial break, I'm like, oh, there's Beric and there's Mary. I know.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Beric is truly, for years, he's dominated. We should have him on here. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. But we have Mary here now. No, no, no. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:04:03 You want to have Beric. No, let's talk about how good he'll be. Actually, I'm surprised Barak's here right now. Mary, if you don't mind. Yeah, no, that's fine. Thanks for coming by. Thank you, guys. This was so weird.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Barak, really quick. You did this thing on stage once. I call him Barack. I go into a hole. Wait a minute. That inspired Mary. That was my compliment. Yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Well, let's get into a story because we have our D-Bogs, our dumb boots on the ground. I'm going to keep pushing this. I know you are. Because Brendan, our awesome sound dude, was like, this is what it is, D-Bogs. It's not D-Bags. When you say sound dude, you mean sound engineer. Sound engineer. But sound dude, he's more of a dude.
Starting point is 00:04:37 He is a dude. It's like he's holding up fingers like he's rocking out with his cock out. He is a dude. So he was like D-Bogs. It's like D-Bags, but they're even better. They're D-Bugs. So they're dumb on the ground. They find the stories.
Starting point is 00:04:49 They send them to Dan. We haven't heard them. Mary hasn't heard any little bit of it. You better believe it. So let's get into one right now. Let's do it. Oh, it's Barrick Hardley, by the way, for anybody who's like, who's Barrick? Now you know.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Watch your commercials. All right. The only thing these maids cleaned out was the liquor cabinet. This was sent in by frack-enstein at frack underscore you. Can we stop the frackensteining? Can we please? To the ocean? Can we stop it?
Starting point is 00:05:16 It's ruining the earth. Do you guys get into the change your handle for Halloween thing? I've never done it. I've noticed it a lot this year. I would be terrified to change my handle. No, not done it. I haven't changed my name. I've noticed it a lot this year. I would be terrified to change my handle. No, not the handle, just your name
Starting point is 00:05:28 above your handle so your handle doesn't change. Oh. Like you're still at Frack U. Frack U. Frack U. Hampton Yacht
Starting point is 00:05:37 is like just the best. Ian Carmel does it a lot too. He's the best at Schmendrick Lamar and stuff like that. I've never done that. Maybe I should try to do that. I know.
Starting point is 00:05:45 People do it for spooky Halloween time. They change their name in some way. Morgan Murphy's bit about the museum of the Holocaust Museum or something like that that was also like certainly a place that should not have participated in any Halloween sort of. Yeah. She called it like the Holocaust Boo-seum. Oh, theyum. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Oh, why did they do it? Oh, why did they do it? It is. All right. So. All right. The only thing these maids cleaned out was the liquor cabinet. So have you driven by and seen like that van that promotes like topless maids?
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yes. That you can order. It's on Coingo. What? It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo. It's on Coingo.
Starting point is 00:06:28 What? I feel like. Why? Who has said, you know what? I want my house cleaned. And that's the thing I want the most is my house cleaned because it's dirty. Sure. But I need everybody to be topless.
Starting point is 00:06:38 I mean, the truth is, who cleans better than someone without their shirt on? Right. Because they're very aware of dust. Dust. They're just, they're very aware of dust. They're more attuned because their skin is exposed. Thank you. They're more aware. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Thank you. And they are like the highest level maid you can buy. They're going to be cleaning for their lives. I'm going to be honest with you. This is a first. We've been recording a lot of stories and getting a lot of things banked up. I saw, I'll show it to you, not right now, but in a minute, I saw the picture that accompanied this. And I read the headline.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And I knew we were going to have Mary on. And I'm like, yes. And I have not read this story. Okay. I love it. So just when I get to the picture, I think I probably read the first 25% of it. And I was like, yep. Dan, I love that this is going to be a treat for you, too.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I got to the picture. And based already that we know these people stole the liquor from the liquor counter And I was like, yep. Dan, I love that this is going to be a treat for you, too. When I get to the picture, and based already that we know these people stole the liquor from the liquor counter. I was like, done. This is a dumb people town story. No problem. No problem. They cleaned it up and cleaned it out.
Starting point is 00:07:35 So full disclosure, if it takes any hard left turns, I didn't know they were coming. This is great. We're all going to be surprised. I know. I just hope they don't murder a dog. That's all I'm saying. Me, too. I will stop reading. We'll stop going to be surprised. I know. I just hope they don't murder a dog. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Me too. I will stop reading. We'll stop reading. That's a story, guys. These maids are terrible. Remember that? We did a live show once, and somebody did a story about animals getting hurt, and they were like, Dan, do you know this?
Starting point is 00:07:54 I go, because I know all the stories when people bring them to live shows. I've already read them. I just didn't choose to do them or haven't gotten to them yet. And this person started, and I go, I'm going to stop you. You don't want to do this story. Stop. And people are like, no, let her do it. And I'm like, I'm telling you't want to do this story and people are like no let her do it and I'm like I'm telling you
Starting point is 00:08:07 no one wants this she's fine she's not fine she wants to do it poor girl god bless her I love her I love the energy I love the effort and I want everybody to feel comfortable I was looking out for her not shutting her down she's fine
Starting point is 00:08:22 I said okay keep reading and she goes she was like a man walked up to some swans out for her, not shutting her down. She's fine. And I said, okay, keep reading. And she goes, she was like, a man walked up to some swans. Nope, nope, nope. And then she keeps reading and she's like, oh, it gets real dark. I go, yeah. That's why I said stop. Come on. I know.
Starting point is 00:08:35 It's never okay to hurt an animal. All right. What did he say to the swans? He said mean things. Talked so much smack. Oh, that's so, I hate that. Talked a lot of smack. It's so not cool.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Treat him like Ugly Duck and this is what he did. A Brooklyn woman expected a spic and span home when she hired a cleaning company to tidy up her Williamsburg pad.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Okay? So we're in Williamsburg. She's very rich. Very wealthy. the maids trashed her apartment, ate her ice cream. Oh,
Starting point is 00:09:03 how dare they? I know. When you think there's still ice cream in the, dare they! I know. When you think there's still ice cream in the freezer, even if you've forgotten and you're the one who ate it, you're still like, God damn it. And it's like Talenti with the salted caramel and it has the little caramel things.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I just really appreciate that these maids were like, first things first, let's check on the ice cream situation. If there is ice cream, we need to eat it. Right. And then we'll, you know. Move on to the booth.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And you know what I also love is that she has an apartment, which unless she's a gazillionaire, I'm going to guess at most is like 1,500 square feet or 2,000 square feet. Sure, sure, sure. At most. At the very most. Right. That's a big place. And there are multiple maids coming over to clean.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Like one person can't handle this. Anytime you're like, we're sending over our three maids to clean your one bedroom apartment, I'd be like, that's too many maids. Too many people. You're going to trash it, steal my liquor. Are you going to clean it in 12 minutes? Instead, the maids trashed her apartment, ate her ice cream, guzzled her booze. Guzzled it.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Guzzled. Because nothing goes better with like chip than schnapps. And one of them even passed out drunk. Love that. That's kind of great. You gotta respect these ladies. Balls to the wall. I mean, yeah, if you're gonna fuck around at your job, fuck around.
Starting point is 00:10:17 But truly go for it. Please commit to it. Please don't do it half-assed. Don't make me be like, is this fireable? Exactly. Did I finish my ice cream? Did I finish my ice cream? I can't remember. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:10:28 It's laying in her passed out hand. If she wasn't passed out, you'd be like, did I do this? Did I drink the full bottle of butterscotch schnapps? It was great. Did I pass out on the couch? Oh, no, she did. I kind of want to try that. Butterscotch schnapps.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I'll rock a peppermint. Butterscotch. I hired two ladies from Joanna's cleaning service. But butterscotch would just be butterscotch scotch. It's actually called butter shots. Butter shots? Yes, my parents have a bottle. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:10:55 We have the same kind of family. Stop them right now. Oh, boy. Okay. The Hollins got butter shots. Right next to the Rumpelmints. All right. We're going to the Hollins tonight, and they have butter shots.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Oh, I hope they don't bring out the butter shots. They'll try and push it on you if you don't want it. You just tell them no. Okay, everyone. After the meal, everyone gets a shot of butter shots. Tell her you don't want it. Here you go. Tell her you don't want it.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I can't tell you. Well, now it's too late. What's the problem? Now it's too late. She put it in front of you, and she already poured it. You can't pour it back. I'll drink it. I'll drink them all. Well, now it's too late. What's the problem? Now it's too late. She put it in front of you and she already poured it. I'll drink it. I'll drink them all. Ron will drink it.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Ron. Where are you from, Mary? I'm from Galax, Virginia. Oh, nice. So it's more of a southern accent than Midwestern. I like it. It's a mom. It's a mom.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Right. It's just a mom. She's like, I don't understand. There's a quote. I hired two ladies from Joanna's Cleaning Service in Brooklyn, and they didn't clean a thing. Just drank all my liquor and fucked up my home. Fumed Genevieve Snow in a now viral Facebook rant posted Monday. Genevieve Snow.
Starting point is 00:11:56 My roommate. Let me guess. Your parents paid for the maid service. Yes. My roommate came home to see one of them blacked out face down in our kitchen. Whoa. My spice rack was smashed. My marble coffee table upended, which smashed a stone bowl.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Keys were gone. Booze was gone. And chocolate ice cream left on the sofa. I am now going to show you the picture of what they found when they walked into this apartment. I'd be like, did someone get murdered? I'm going to be honest with you. I could have just shown you the photo and we could have done a whole
Starting point is 00:12:34 story. A whole show on this. Ready for this? This is going to be on the Facebook page. We'll be on the Facebook page. You have to join the Facebook page. If you haven't joined it, this is a reason to join. This is what you're missing. You're at brunch. Your friend's like, what's going on with you today? Well, I have two people cleaning my house right now, so I'm going to run back there when I get done. Two people?
Starting point is 00:12:50 Your house is so small. I know. They send two because they want it. It's either two hours for one or one hour for two. They work in pairs. I get it. All right. Fine.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Jesus. No one's yelling at you. I just think you need one. You ready for this picture? We'll take two butterscotch shots right over here and the check. Thanks so much. Are you ready for this picture? I want a mini cupcake.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Yes, ready. Here we go. Holy shit. Oh my God. She like knocked a spice rack over. She's out her... God.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Look at her feet, Mary. Mary, she's out her flip flops. Her feet are covered in... Look how dirty her feet are. Well, the place needed to be cleaned. It needed to be cleaned. Her feet are dirty.... Look how dirty her feet are. Well, the place needed to be cleaned. Her feet are dirty. That woman is just out.
Starting point is 00:13:28 For the listener at home, for the listener at home, Mary could not be more invested in this photo. Oh, she... You know, I gotta say, this looks more like, this looks like a crime scene. Like a murder situation.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Yeah, I was like, what happened to this woman? It looks like she got... Jerry Orbach walked in. She got hit on the head. She got hit on the head. That's what it looks like. With a candlestick in the kitchen. There's a watermelon on the ground.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Are they sure she was blackout drunk or was she bonked on the head? I'm going to do the two minutes before she passed out. She thought she could climb up and hang off the spike rack. She's like, I can do it. No, listen.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I can do it. Honey, do not do it. You can't do it. You cannot do it. No. Listen, I can do it. Don't do that. Honey, do not do it. No, watch me. You can't do it. I can't. You cannot do it. What? She fell off and cracked up, hit her head, was about to throw up, and then just slept.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Jesus. So I feel like it all happened in that. Also, if you have a head injury, don't go to sleep. No. Don't stay. Keep drinking. That's right. That to sleep. No. Don't stay. Keep drinking. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That's our medical advice. At least she was sleeping on her arm. So if she did throw up, it would come out. She's not going to swallow it. That's true. She did something right. She did something right. She did it right.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Say what you will about her cleaning, but she knows how to pass out. So the maid service is like, do you want us to leave our maids there in the place with you when you come back? That is fucking nuts. The maid service, they're probably like, you got to make a mess before you can clean it up. Hey, you got to make, in order to clean up an omelet, you got to break a mess. You got to break a mess. You got to break a mess. You got to break a mess before you make an egg.
Starting point is 00:15:04 No, that's not what it is. Jennifer, that's not what it is. You gotta break an egg. You gotta break a mess before you make an egg. Eugene says... No, that's not what it is. Jennifer, that's not what it is. She said she's out of pocket for the damage, and adding insult to injury, when she asked for reimbursement, the company tried to explain it all away. I cannot wait to hear the explanation.
Starting point is 00:15:20 First off, how much money do you think Genevieve Snow says she is out of pocket? $10,000. Coming to you with an overview to find out how much damage did they do? $10,000 from Mary House? That's what she said. That's not what it is, but she definitely said it. Okay, so Mary is clearly picking up on something about Genevieve Snow that, like, she's an exaggerator.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Well, sure. I mean, the picture does sort of. Right. Or her lawyer friend was like, Genevieve, you start at 10 grand. Yes. Even if we get down to three. If we get three, I'll be happy. Thank God I have a lawyer friend.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I say 5,000. 5,000 dollars. I'm in that same camp. I'm going to say $2,000. $2,000. A lot, by the way. A lot. $2,000 is a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Drink all our liquor. Drink all our liquor. Liquor's expensive. Genevieve Snow says she's out of pocket more than Get Your Answers In Now, Tony, because she says the amount of damage totaled her $400. That's it? Oh, it's not bad. Wow, it's not bad at all.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I feel terrible. I'm so sorry, Genevieve Snow. $10,000. I feel terrible. I'm so sorry, Genevieve Snow. Mary, 10 grand way off. I'm kind of disappointed in Genevieve Snow. Mary, I'm assuming some stuff about Genevieve Snow. No, no, no. I'm just saying if that were me, I would be like,
Starting point is 00:16:35 not only would I be adding up the sort of, the liquor, the ice cream. The marble table, the stone bowl. The stone bowl, but also the emotional damage. Yes. The mental damage. You went in my house. Exactly. Thank you for having the guts to say that. No, thank you.. The stone bowl, but also the emotional damage. The mental damage. You went in my house.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Exactly. Thank you for having the guts to say that. No, thank you. We'll get this, guys. Thank you for thanking me. When Genevieve asked for reimbursement, the company tried to explain it all away with a sob story. And I'm going to tell you, this is the sentence where I stopped and was like, yes, it's in dumb people's heads. This is how you know it's in dumb, all of it's in dumb people's heads.
Starting point is 00:17:02 But I stopped here. I haven't read anything past this. I can't wait, Dan. This is a surprise know it's in dumb people's time. But I stopped here. I haven't read anything past this. I can't wait, Dan. This is a surprise for you, too. They explained it all the way with a sob story that the sloshed sweeper's husband had just left her and her teen daughter was knocked up. Okay. So the cleaning lady was like, my teen daughter's pregnant and my husband left me, so sorry.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Let me have this. I went roughshod on your home. But wait a minute. But she was there with someone else. Yep. That person was like, Deb, stop. Deb. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:31 This person was just like, I can't control it. I can't control it. So they joined in. She's just lost her husband. I'm the designated cleaner. I make sure. Wait, her husband lost his job and- No, left her.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Left her. Yeah, and her daughter's knocked out. Can I just say something? Well, you lose someone and you gain somebody. But if you're her, don't you like look into the job and... No, left her. Left her. Yeah, and her daughter's knocked out. Can I just say something? Well, you lose someone and you gain something. But if you're her, don't you like looking at the company and being like... What a lovely optimistic way of looking at it. You know what it is. One door closes and a spice rack opens.
Starting point is 00:17:55 That's right. And a spice rack opens. I said a vagina opens. Well, no, no, no. But if you're her, aren't you like calling the company that you work for and being like, can you not tell everybody what's going on? Or, look, we questioned at the beginning of this why two people were sent on this job.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Sure. Someone needed to be there to spot for this woman and make sure she wasn't going to do exactly what she did. This is as much on the other cleaner as it is on this four-woman. Well, the other cleaner joined in. She got sucked into her vortex. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Where is she? Yeah. She left her there. Who's your cleaning buddy? She did. She just left her past house. She's your cleaning buddy? Genevieve says she's used Brooklyn-based Joanna Cleaning Service for the occasional spruce
Starting point is 00:18:36 up dating back to 2013. Joanna Cleaning Service. I like to call it Obama, too. And emailed her most recent contact at the business, a woman identifying herself as Joanna, and I cannot pronounce this last name. So I guess she went straight to the top. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, you're going. You got to call Joanna.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Go to the source. You got to go straight to Joanna. She left the two maids in that day before heading off to work. She left $180 for the cleaning plus a $60 tip. What? That's way too big of a tip for these. That's very generous. But one of the housemates... Take anything you want.
Starting point is 00:19:13 If you're thirsty, just grab something. Help yourself, but don't fucking touch my ice cream. But one of her housemates, I guess fancy for roommate, woke up a few hours later to find the cleaners sitting on their couch eating. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Right. So Genevieve leaves her work with money. By the way, again. And there's a roommate still in the home. Have you ever lived in New York? No. Okay. You've been to New York, though.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah. We lived in New York. We lived in Chelsea in a three-bedroom apartment, which is huge by New York standards. We had another roommate. You know what's going on. Like, if you're cleaning, they did no cleaning. They just got in and started eating, drinking, and eating. Didn't know there was a roommate still in the house.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Asleep. Asleep. So the roommate gets out, finds the cleaner sitting on the couch eating. This is what the roommate said. Quote, you know when you're not supposed to be doing something, people jerk up really quickly? They did that. Jerk up? Said roommate Kristen. What?
Starting point is 00:20:10 That moment of like, yeah, he's in. Nipo Musino. That's my best guess on how to say Kristen's last name. Kristen Nipo Musino. When she went off, so the roommate gets up to go to her job at SoulCycle. This is so on brand for New York. Brooklyn. SoulCycle. I'm just going to SoulCycle and there are people eating. She works at SoulCycle. This is so on brand for New York. Brooklyn. SoulCycle.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I'm just going to SoulCycle and there are people eating. She works at SoulCycle. It's taking place in the I Feel Pretty universe. Right. She sounds like Jim Gaffigan's questioning.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Counter voice. I'm just going to SoulCycle. Why would they be jumping up like that? That's so weird. But when Kristen, so she gets home before Genevieve. When Kristen returned home around 5.30 p.m.,
Starting point is 00:20:47 it was a very different scene. So this was like morning and now it's 5.30. So they jumped up when they saw the person and then they're like, that's not the moment that you say,
Starting point is 00:20:56 get out of my house. They're like, we're gonna, I guess we should just stay. I guess, you know, since they're sitting here eating our food and lying to us,
Starting point is 00:21:03 best thing I should do right now is just leave them here in the house. Oh, you're blaming Kristen for leaving them there eating on the couch? She had to go to SoulCycle, Jay. There's a lot of people that could have stopped this. There are a lot of people that could have stopped this. Well, that's true. There were many opportunities.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Joanna. The responsibility really was Joanna. The daughter got knocked up. Oh, man. She came back at 5.30 from work. She could have said no. It was a very different scene. The house was a mess.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Maybe she could have said no. It was a very different scene. The house was a mess. Maybe she could have said no. One maid was nowhere to be seen, and the other was passed out on the floor next to a smashed spice rack. Quote, I walk in and I see bare feet, and she's literally laying right here, Kristen said, pointing at the kitchen floor. She left the apartment in horror and called the cops. Yep. This is Kristen. I will say, I saw the picture, and I'm not trying to be sexist, but it was a sweet rack. She has a sweet rack. Jason.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Spicy rack. I would say a spicy rack. Oh, damn it. Beat me to it. A spicy rack. A spicy rack. I said spicy rack. You got it.
Starting point is 00:21:57 You got it. You got it. You got it. Under the wire. Under the wire. Under the wire. So when Kristen leaves, she calls the cops. They all return to find the maid, ready for this, awake, sitting on the couch and digging into a pint of chocolate ice cream.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Dude, she won't quit. No. That is amazing. To me, if I just did that in my house, the amount of shame of having drank so much that I passed out and then just sitting on my couch eating ice cream. I know. The amount of shame swirling around me would be, I'd be like, why do I do this? Why don't I have self-control? Why can I not stop?
Starting point is 00:22:34 One scoop isn't enough for me. Everybody's sleeping upstairs and I'm still eating. You gotta eat those emotions, Rand. God damn it, man. Don't you think, too, like, if I'm Kristen, I'd be like just to the maid, like, I don't know where to start in this process of dealing with you, but the first thing I think I should ask is, do you know you don't live here? Right. Do you know you don't live here?
Starting point is 00:22:53 We're not hiring you to live here for a day. Kristen says when they walked in with the cops, quote, she is licking ice cream and hammered, beyond hammered. She drank one whole bottle of broker's Gin and most of the bottle of kettle. Wow. This lady's out of her mind. By the way, also someone who can drink more than I could drink in a month. I know, truly. I could do a shot and be like, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I could do a butterscotch shot and that's it. Now listen, I could do a full bottle of butterscotch. You better believe it. Butterscotch. But kettle that's it. Now listen, I could do a full bottle of butterscotch. You better believe it. Butterscotch. But kind of one. You and Harry Potter. The NYPD confirmed cops went to the apartment and sent a drunk woman from there to the hospital. Good.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Good. Genevieve says they didn't take a report, however, telling her the cleaners hadn't committed any crimes and advised her to take it to civil court. How do they not? What about ice cream theft? They stole chocolate. I know. Well, she, seriously, they didn't break and enter.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Right. But they did take things of hers, stolen property, food being property. So like you can prosecute that. So Genevieve emails Joanna of Joanna's cleaners. She then says her husband left her and her daughters. This is Joanna. She's Cleaners. She then says her husband left her and her daughters. This is Joanna. She's having family problems. It's a quote.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Her husband left her after 19 years of marriage. And that day when she was cleaning your apartment, she had the phone call that her teenage daughter is pregnant. I understand going out and being like, I need a drink. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But leave work. Yeah, exactly. Oh, yeah. Just leave the apartment.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I can't work today. I would say the fact that this woman had just left and not cleaned the place, we wouldn't have a story. No. That's true. So I'm glad she stayed. So ultimately, we thank her. Thank you for taking down a spice rack that needed to be taken down. Thank you for putting work above everything else.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Yeah. And I say work very loosely. W-E-R-K. God. Joanna says that she believes in her company, yada, yada, yada. They're all great. And I say work very loosely. W-E-R-K. Joanna says that she believes in her company. Yada, yada, yada. They're all great. All of them.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Genevieve did what the only thing you can do. Posted about her experience on Yelp. Yeah, good. Take it to Yelp. Take it to Yelp. And then Joanna, we'll get out of here on this. Oh, no, sorry. We will not.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Joanna said we have nothing to hide. She said a lot to hide. I know. Not anymore. Not anymore. Maybe the sex of the baby? Of the daughter? Hiding that? Poor Genevieve Snow can't even find an address for this business because it's all
Starting point is 00:25:20 run through phone. Because she just wants to send them a bill and she wants to get this resolved. So here's the thing. First off, Joanna is an idiot. Because the second this happens, the only quote
Starting point is 00:25:36 she should have put in this newspaper is we are so sorry. She's asking for $400. We're gonna give her $500 and a free cleaning if she wants it. We're taking care of this. Love that. End of story.
Starting point is 00:25:50 And I would buy her another bottle of butter shots, a bottle of kettle, a bottle of gin, ice cream. Bottle of red, bottle of white, whatever kind of mood she's in tonight. Like some nice spices. Spice rack. New spice rack. New spice rack. Literally, $400 could have just gone away. That's dumb, too. There you rack. New spice rack. New spice rack. Literally, 400 bucks, it could have just gone away. That's dumb, too.
Starting point is 00:26:06 There you go. Everybody's being dumb. The world is getting dumber. The world is getting dumber. You know it. That is one story down in the books. We've got Mary Holland with us. We're going to take a break.

I just casually be like, Jay. And I'm like, yep. I assume every James goes by Jimbo. Jimbo. And I always assume that. Jimmy. Jim Bob. Jamestown Massacre. That's a bad one.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Oh, that's a horrible one. I waited for Mary to take a sip before I tried to water them. James J. Yochum loves haunted houses. I love them too. You do? James J. Yochum loves haunted houses. I love them, too. You do? Do you really? J.J. Yochum.
Starting point is 00:31:26 What do you love about them? I love them. So I'm going to invite you. I know this sounds crazy, but my kids' school, like, they do the greatest haunted house ever. I love a kid haunted house. You want to come to this? Nope. It's unreal.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Dan, it is. Of course. So all these people who are parents at my kids' school are, like, set designers and stuff. Oh, there you go. Amazing. All these people who are parents at my kid's school are like set designers and stuff. And so they make the most scary, most kick-ass haunted house that is so scary for these kids. Like as an adult, I'm like holding onto my son's hand. I'm like, I'm terrified. I'm literally like someone's coming at me.
Starting point is 00:31:56 It's so fun. It's at Wonderland Avenue School. If you want to come, let me know. Do you remember the old school UCB haunted house that Scott Aukerman used to do on Tuesday nights? I never went to that. You never went to it? I'm devastated.
Starting point is 00:32:12 The coolest thing we ever did was, and we were a part of this. God, was this fun. At the old Acapulcos, which was across the street from Largo at the Cornette. Oh. It was like an old Mexican. Hollywood Hell House. So we did like, we were the tour guides on Hollywood Hell House. Where Hollywood Hell House, the script was an actual script. Script from an actual church down.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Christian, like trying to scare you straight. Like a Pentecostal. Yeah, down, trying to scare straight. Jill Soloway was involved in it. Bill Maher. Bill Maher. Bill Maher played Jesus in one of them. And so we took a group of people around. It was a huge script that we had to learn.
Starting point is 00:32:53 And we took a group of people around to each thing. And it was like anti-homosexuality, anti-this, anti-abortion. Anti-abortion. All this stuff along the way. All the things that the Supreme Court's against now. And it just led you all the way in the end to like somebody who played Jesus. The other guy who played Jesus was, what's his name? He was part of-
Starting point is 00:33:12 Jim Vallely's thing? Jim Vallely's- Oh, yeah. The other guy. What is his name? I'm blanking on his name and he's so good. He was from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and he played the- Snooty?
Starting point is 00:33:21 Snotty? Samron? No, the guy from the Shea restaurant. Shea Louie, that really nice restaurant. That guy is so funny. He was part of the comedy team with Jim Vallely and he was so good in this and he played Jesus and they were both
Starting point is 00:33:35 unbelievable. And then at the end, there was this like Christian dance party at the end of the whole tour and with candy and cake. It was really one of the coolest things we've ever been a part of. And there were like two different sets of tour guides leading tours, all the groups. That's so fun. It was great. Mary, have you done the Haunted Hayride?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Oh, yeah. I do it every year. Yeah. Queen Mary's Dark Harbor is also great. That one gets scary. It does get scary. It gets scary if you're a little claustrophobic like me because you're walking through stuff in the horror where it's like, oh, there's, I can't move. And you're like, how close to me are they going to get?
Starting point is 00:34:05 Like, what are they going to do? They try and scare you. There's some like immersive theater experiences like Creep LA is a great one where you do sign a waiver where it's like, they're going to touch you. But it's just, it's truly just to like lead you places. Right, right, right. But I actually went. They're going to touch you is a phrase you should never hear.
Starting point is 00:34:21 They're going to touch you. I'm going to touch you. Where do you go. I went to, when I was growing up, so I grew up in a small town in Virginia, and there was a very active evangelical-like population there. And this boy that I was sort of dating, if you can do that when you're 12. Jonathan Schmock. Jonathan Schmock.
Starting point is 00:34:49 So good. Was not his name. No, no, no. That guy is very good. This guy from Ferris Bueller. Go ahead. Sorry, sorry, sorry. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:34:55 But he went to this church and he took me to like a Hell House show. And I will never forget. I was like so confused by it because the little vignettes they were showing there was one of this woman like a little skit where this woman was her daughter was like mom please let's go to church don't go to work
Starting point is 00:35:15 don't put work above church and mom's like honey I have to work we have to have money and so the daughter's like okay and she watches her mom, like, drive off. And the mom gets into a car accident and goes straight to hell. Straight to hell. And it's wild.
Starting point is 00:35:31 And it's like, what's the lesson here? Well, she got, to be fair. Don't provide for your children. Well, to be fair, she did work in hell. She was going to her job. And honestly, she was. That's true. That's right.
Starting point is 00:35:41 She had to get into an accident every. Hell of a commute. Isn't it funny though When you're not indoctrinated With that stuff So you're literally Just looking at it With an objective eye
Starting point is 00:35:49 And you're like This doesn't check out It doesn't track People are like Wasn't that horrible Do you want that to be you No Yeah I want a job
Starting point is 00:35:55 I have to go to work Gotta make money Who's right here You shouldn't ever be saying As you're watching one of those Who are we rooting for Alright James J. Jotts.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Jotum. Jotum. Jotum. Oh, yeah. Sorry. No, don't ever say Jotum. I'm sorry. Don't, Mary. Jotum if you got him. Jotum if you got him. Dwight Jotum. Jotum if you got him. Barrett, come on in. I knew it. J. Jotum
Starting point is 00:36:21 loves haunted houses. At least he did. Until. Until this week. Someone punched him in the nuts. That's what's going to happen. A Friday night visit to a Madison, Tennessee attraction left Jay Yochum with a serious wound and Metro Nashville police at a, quote, dead end. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:36:40 This is where you hate the people who write the article. No, I love it. It's really, it's primo pun time. In their investigation, according to a department spokeswoman, Chris Mumford. Spookswoman. Spookswoman. Oh, no, you did it. Okay, guys, you got me started.
Starting point is 00:36:57 In this article, she is a spookswoman. Yoachim and three friends on Friday night headed up to Nashville Nightmare in Madison, a horror thrill campus with four separate haunted houses, an escape room, carnival games, food vendors, and more. By the way, it sounds amazing. It does sound amazing. It's something, too. Even at the Haunted Hayride here in L.A.,
Starting point is 00:37:20 it's like a campus of stuff. And that's what I like more than even the ride is you're in the festivity of it. It's like a campus of stuff. And that's what I like more than even the ride is you're in the festivity of it. It's like the atmosphere of it. Yes, you're in the atmosphere of the time of year. Yeah, that's what I love. It's really nice. I love it.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I love it. Yo, Chim. So they go there. They headed up to Nashville Nightmare Madison with Haunt House's escape room, games, food, vendors, more. Right. Quote, Halloween is, ask any of my friends, my favorite time of year, Jay said. I go all out for decorating. I watch a horror movie every day.
Starting point is 00:37:51 I get really excited about going to haunted houses. There was one day where he didn't watch one. I swear to me, it was not every day. No, I do it every day. Jay, don't lie. I do it every day. You did yesterday. You had to go to work.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I did it when I went to work. You went to hell. I did it when I went to sleep. You went to hell. I went to hell because you went to work instead of church. And this also is the time of year, this and Christmas, is when the Hallmark Channel really shines. Yeah. I agree.
Starting point is 00:38:16 They do their scary movies every year, and then they go right into like 80 straight days of holiday Christmas movies. It's the best. Dan loves it. I do really love it. And I don't care if it's kitschy. It's mine. It is not kitschy. It's the Hallmark channel.
Starting point is 00:38:32 There's nothing kitschy about it. Before the night took a turn for the truly macabre, Joachim, Jay, and his friends, he said, had a fantastic time in the attractions. Quote, We had so much fun. We were jumping friends, he said, had a fantastic time in the attractions. Quote, we had so much fun.
Starting point is 00:38:47 We were jumping around, he said. There were character actors. I know, jumping around, I'm like, I bet he means from place to place. But in my mind, there was an adult bounce house. Shaped like a huge pumpkin. Yes. There were character actors in the courtyard space. It was called a jumbo lantern.
Starting point is 00:39:04 There were character actors in the courtyard space near the escape game building and carnival games where the group was standing. Jay's group started laughing and joking with someone they thought was a cast member. Oh, yes. That's bad when you look so bad
Starting point is 00:39:21 that people think you're like a zombie. Some people want to. I mean, come on, honey. At one point. Look at this guy. Look at this guy right here. They're just trying not to be scared. Look at this fucking idiot right here.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Weird comb over, poking him. Yeah. Ready for this? Yes. They're joking around with somebody that they think is a cast member. I love it. I love it. He's dead.
Starting point is 00:39:43 At one point, the cast member handed one of Jay's friends a knife and told her to stab Jay Yochum with it. What? What? The cast member, in quotes, wanted her to stab Jay Yochum as retribution for a joke made at the cast member's expense. They're probably joking. I'll be like,
Starting point is 00:40:07 you're not a real client or whatever. This is retractable. Right. And so the cast member or who they think is a cast member gives them a knife, gives them a knife to his friend and tells her stab J Yochum with this knife. Is this prosecutable? It's so funny to like, be like,
Starting point is 00:40:22 it's so weird. Like if he's got a knife and he's like, I want this guy stabbed, why didn't he do it himself? You make someone else an accomplice. He pulls the strings. He's the puppet master. He's a Halloweener.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Quote, this is from Jay. Keep in mind, we had been chased by chainsaws, holding other weapons and all all kinds of stuff all night, and it was all fake. Part of the fun. Right. So he holds out his arm. No.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Oh, my God. No. And she stabbed me with it, and that's when everything got really black. Oh, my God. Why did she do that? Why did he hold her? me with it and that's when everything got really black. Oh my god! Why did she do that? Why did he hold it? You're handing us a knife? I'll go along with this.
Starting point is 00:41:12 You definitely try to see if it retracts. When Jay Yochum looked down, he saw blood pouring from a knife wound that went clear through his forearm. Oh my god! Wait, how old is this guy? He saw blood pouring from a knife wound that went clear through his forearm. Holy! Oh, my God!
Starting point is 00:41:26 Wait, how old is this guy? We'll find out. We'll find out. We get to play Guess the Age. This is so fun. Guess the Age. I'm literally rocking in terror right now. That's crazy!
Starting point is 00:41:37 The thing I remember he said is the guy who gave it to her kind of freaking out. So the cast member guy kind of freaking out and saying things like, oh, I didn't know my knife was that sharp. I didn't know. I'm so sorry. I didn't know my knife was that sharp. Right. Is it pointed on the end and sleek? Is it a knife? Right. Exactly. I didn't know that
Starting point is 00:41:57 heated pot was so hot. Guys, here's a rule that people might need to know. Anything with enough force will go through anything else. That's great. That's just physics. You could put a screwdriver through someone's arm. There's like aftermath tornado footage of a straw through a light pole.
Starting point is 00:42:16 If you're doing it just right and it's bladed, I don't care how sharp it is, it's bladed. There's a tip to it. It will go through something. Imagine the guy being like, hey, take my knife. Okay, I'll take it. Now put it in his arm. Put your arm out. All right, I'll put my arm out.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Put it through his arm. Okay, I'll stab him. You're all dumb. You're all dumb. Everyone's dumb. The arm out's dumb. The handing of the knife guy's dumb. The girl putting it through the thing is dumb.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Unless they really wanted to hurt this guy. Then they're not being dumb. Their own friend, Jay? Well, then they're being very smart. No, no, not the person who handed the knife. If that person really wanted to inflict pain for real. And made the girl do it. And made the girl do it, then he's not dumb. He's a cheater. He didn't make her, he asked her. No, but he's using the cover of the
Starting point is 00:42:59 event and the knife. It's kind of brilliant. Jay's come all around against Jay. Why are we coming down on this guy, is what I'm saying. You're anti-Jay. Hold on a minute. Wait a minute. Are you a real cast member? Are you a cast member of this show?
Starting point is 00:43:16 Take this knife. No. I'll take it. I'll take it. All right, fine. Here's my arm. You know what? Here's my chest.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Just stab it right in my heart. Could you imagine? Yeah, stab me in the heart. I know. Here's my arm. You know what? Here's my chest. Just stab it right in my heart. Could you imagine? Yeah, stab me in the heart. I know. That's so crazy. All the way through. Everything went. She really used force because that can't be easy to do.
Starting point is 00:43:34 All the way through. Everything is a little hazy for Jay Yochum around then, but he remembers coming to, lying on a table with cast members, trying to keep him conscious as his friend was bawling next to him because she just stabbed her friend in the arm. Right. And that guy, the guy who gave the knife, nowhere to be found. Quote, no one wants to stab their friend, he said. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:43:55 Welcome to dumb people town. Yeah, exactly. I've been stabbed and I still can't even imagine what it's like to accidentally hurt your friend like that. Jay has a lot of empathy even though he's the one. Oh, Jay. Jay. He's a sweet man. That's why we call him Jay.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I like him. To enter the attraction, each visitor must go through metal detectors, which Joachim said were, quote, very thorough and attentive. No weapons were allowed inside the attraction. Great. Quote, this is from the company, as we've continued to review the information, we believe that an employee was involved in some way. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:44:26 They don't know if this person even worked for them or not. And he has been placed, well, I guess they do now. He has been placed on leave until we can determine his involvement. Nashville Nightmare organizers said in an email statement Tuesday evening, we are going over all our safety protocols and all of our staff again, as the safety and security of all our patrons is always our main concern. I'm going to ask you guys right now. How old is James
Starting point is 00:44:50 J. Yochum? Too much fun leaves marks in life. Living hard, you'll pay the price. Who is gonna get it right? Guess the age. Guess the age. Mary, you are our guest.
Starting point is 00:45:05 You can go first, Tig, which is second, or third. Tig Matar was the first person to ever say she wanted to go second. The three of us are going to guess. Tig, I'll go Tig. Okay, you're going Tig. Jay, go first. He's 33. 33 years old, the year of our Lord.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Yes. Which is very good. Mary. 49. 49 years old. Wow. Just a dude loving, doesn't talk to his kids, but loves a haunted house. And I relate.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Yeah. 23. 23 years old. He's young. He's still going to haunted houses. He's young. Okay. He's got friends that would stick it in.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I mean, actually, I take that back. He's 19. He's 19? 19. Oh, okay. Still using that dumbass nickname. All right. James.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Jay. Jay. Jay Yochum. Dan, I call him Jay. Jay Yochum. Still using that dumbass nickname. All right. James J. J. Yochum. Dan, I call him J. J. Yochum. The man who loves haunted houses more than anything, watches a haunted movie every single day. I mean one every day. Goes all out, teased a cast member, and got stabbed for it. You know he's going to be like,
Starting point is 00:45:59 this isn't going to stop my love of haunted houses. In fact, he's going to love it even more. He's going to strengthen it. There is no one that's ever going to talk to him for more than 30 seconds that isn't going to hear about this scar. Exactly. That's the first thing that comes out of his mouth on a telemarketer call. Probably going to get a tattoo around the scar, like a circle, and then the words, ask me. Ask about it. Ask me about this.
Starting point is 00:46:23 That's kind of a cool tattoo. It is cool. Ask me about this. James J. Yochum a cool tattoo. It is cool. Ask me about this. James J. Yochum is, get your answers in now, Tony. He is 29 years old. Oh, what's up? Jason is smart. It takes a J to know a J.
Starting point is 00:46:37 I knew him intimately inside and out. I know. You tried. There you go. I tried. I thought he was a father. He might be. He's a father figure, but not was a father. He might be. He's a father figure, but not yet a father.
Starting point is 00:46:47 How would you say? 49? I wish he was. I'm almost 49. So here's the deal. If you go to a haunted house, just don't take a check to see if it's a real knife if someone asks you to stab someone. That's it. If we do anything on this podcast and we
Starting point is 00:47:03 teach you that, or just say, you know what, I'll pass on stabbing someone I know. Serious, I mean this. The knife is always real. The gun is always loaded. That's how you need to live your life. That's how you gotta live your life. The gun is always loaded.
Starting point is 00:47:17 The car is always full of gas. The maid is always passed out in the kitchen. The maid is always passed out in the kitchen. The butter shots are always on the table. The ice cream's always gone. If you do tell your dad, you'll only ever be happy if you tell yourself the ice cream's always gone. Assume your ice cream is gone. And then when you open up your freezer, you get a treat.

Starting point is 00:49:49 There you go. She's kind of cunchy. Cunky Chambles? Cunky Chambles. A man was arrested Saturday morning after getting stuck up on a roof of a convenience store in DeLand, Florida,
Starting point is 00:50:04 north of Orlando. Oh, no. Stuck up on the roof. Stuck up on the roof. Of a convenience store in Florida. It's very easy to get stuck up on a roof. Right. If you can get up there.
Starting point is 00:50:15 If you can get up there. Then how are you going to get down? Right. That's the most inconvenient thing about a convenience store. Yeah. The roof access. The roof itself. Maybe yes.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Let's high five Mary. convenience store. Yeah, the roof access. The roof itself. Maybe yes. High five, Mary. According to a video released by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, the owner of the store saw a head pop over the roof of the locked store and heard a man saying, quote, I'm dying.
Starting point is 00:50:36 I need help. Oh, no. That's when the owner just called the cops. All right. So. Yes. Yes. So you know how like most people when you see like maybe, oh, we got squirrels in the attic. All right, so. Yes. So you know how like most people
Starting point is 00:50:45 when you see like maybe, oh, we got squirrels in the attic. Right. This is like Florida. You're like, we got dumb people on the roof. Oh, yeah. We're fucked. We gotta get them out.
Starting point is 00:50:54 The owner of the store is like walking up to the store, like walking up to open up his store and just sees a little head pop up. I need help. I'm dying. Yes. Also, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:51:02 It's so, if someone said to me in that context, I'm dying. I need help. I'm dying. Also, oh my God. It's so, if someone said to me in that context, I'm dying. I need help. I'm so ashamed to say that. My first thought is no. Bullshit. What am I getting dragged into? Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:16 You're not dying. So that's the cautious, smart way to approach it. But this is what you have to do because we're heading into this season right now. You have to spray for meth heads every single time. Up and down the house. You want to tent the store, especially the roof. The roof. Roof bumps.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Mary, have you had your roof sprayed for meth heads yet? No, I haven't. It's the season. No, well, I spray the sides. I never spray the roof. You don't want to get roof bumps. Those are really hard to get rid of. Really? I just love the store owner being like, what? I spray the sides. I never spray the roof. Well, then you don't want to get roof bums. Those are really hard to get rid of. I just love the store owner being like, what?
Starting point is 00:51:49 I'm dying. Okay, I'm going to call the cops. Yeah. No, I'm dying, man. Yo, I know. No, I know you are. I'm going to call the cops. I'm dying to call the cops right now, so stop interrupting me.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Best people to help you. Men in blue. According to the video, that's where you see him call the cops. After law enforcement officers got him down, the shirtless man later identified as Michael Monticelli. He was shirtless? I know. That seems surprising. It doesn't add up.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Said he was simply thirsty and in need of water, which I hope they're being like, all right, you're under arrest. I just want some water. I mean, is that such a crime? Is that such a crime? I mean, if you guys have ever been really thirsty, then it does kind of feel like dying in a way. You know what I mean? You don't understand.
Starting point is 00:52:35 We're arresting you right now. Yeah, yeah, no, I get that. I just really need some water. No, I know, I know, I know. I know, I know, I know. Can I just have a little bit of water? Just a little bit of water. So right.
Starting point is 00:52:44 I'm going to show you guys a picture of this dude. Oh, no. He's everything we want him to be and more. If Ethan Embry's character from Empire Records went the wrong way, that's kind of what he looks like. He has a bad Ethan Embry and a tattoo necklace. He looks like my buddy Brian Redband. So he's got tattoos. And a little Jeremy Renner in there. Jeremyband. So he's got tattoos. And a little Jeremy Renner in there.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Jeremy Renner. He's got tattoos. What is this? What is that? That looks like a fireman's helmet maybe. It's a fireman's helmet. Yeah. So he's wearing athletic shorts, yet nothing looks athletic about him at all.
Starting point is 00:53:21 No, not at all. Not at all. It's like if Umbrose, like that should be a new ad for Umbrose. Yeah. Yeah, do what you can. Umbrose, we'll get you down off the roof. Deputies did not believe that he wasn't trying to break into the business. Of course he was.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Guys, I want you to understand about this. I went up on the roof to get some water. I'm not trying to break in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why am I? Everyone knows that water is up high. Okay? How else on the roof to get some water. I'm not trying to break in. Everyone knows that water is up high. How else am I going to get water?
Starting point is 00:53:49 Hello, water rises. We know this. Water rises. Explain clouds. How do clouds work? This is a guy who... What happens in every flooding? The water rises. You think I'm crazy? It's weather channel shit. This guy, this is a guy
Starting point is 00:54:06 who while not in court ends every argument with, I rest my case. Right. Why wouldn't it be up there? I rest my case. I went up on the roof to get some water and then I got up there and I got stuck and I thought I was dying.
Starting point is 00:54:21 They said he climbed a tree to gain access to the roof. I'm going to ask you guys now, you've all seen a picture of him. How old do you think this guy is? Michael Monticelli. Okay, I'll go take.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Okay, take again. All right, then I'll go first. You go first. I'll go first. Randy says. This guy is 31 years old. 31 years old. Mary. Mary.
Starting point is 00:54:57 This guy is 49 years old. 49. You're not budging off that. No, no, no, no, no. One of these guys is going to be 49. Kevin Pollak went back-to-back same money, and he got them both exactly right. Oh, my God. So there's nothing wrong with what you're going for.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Exactly right. Jason Sklar. I would say, if you told me this guy was in the band Sublime, I would also be like, yep. And he passed away. 27. He's a ghost. 27 years old. Okay, so Randy says-
Starting point is 00:55:23 31. 31. Mary says- 49. 49. Jason, 27. Jason? 27. He's a ghost. 27 years old. Okay, so Randy says 31. 31. Mary says 49. Jason, 27. Jason says 27. One of you is exactly right. Oh my god! So now we get to play the second game, which
Starting point is 00:55:35 is which one of us is exactly right. Okay, I'm sorry. What were the ages again? 31, 27, 49. So you have a chance to redeem yourself. Do you want to go first, Tig, or third in the second level of this game? I'm going to go Tig every time. Okay, so, Jay? I'm right.
Starting point is 00:55:50 I know that it's... And I think I'm right. Hold on, Mary. Go second. Go, Mary. Okay, so you're right, and you said 30. 27. 27.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Okay. Okay, here's the thing. I was closest before. I'm right. Oh! And I know it's 49. Okay, great. Good confidence. Look at her commitment. I'm going to say I'm right. He's it's 49. Good confidence.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Look at her commitment. I'm going to say I'm right. He's 31. Townies, get your answers in now. Shout both answers. Don't you love that there is somewhere across America at this very moment, people are in their cubicles, people are on the subway just yelling out Randy, 31.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Jason, 27. Mary, 49. Get those answers in now because Michael Monticelli, the man who climbed a tree in search of water, not trying to break any laws, is... 49. 31 years old. God damn it! He should have been 49. He should have been 49. I feel like I'm up on the roof just drinking water.
Starting point is 00:56:43 We're going to get out of here on one of my favorite excuses of what someone did when they broke the law. This is what he said. Michael later explained, quote, sometimes t-shirts write themselves. And this is his quote. I didn't even try to do it. It just happened, man. You're being arrested for breaking, you're breaking. You broke an entrance.
