Dumb People Town - Mo Rocca - Trampa Florida

Episode Date: March 3, 2020

Dan, Jason and Randy welcome Mo Rocca to town to hear a story about men in kilts doing a full frontal dance at a Renaissance fair. In story 2, a beachcomber makes an interesting find on the beach. In story 3 people from a town in North Caroline are concerned about the negative effects of solar farms. 

Star Pains, I know. Couldn't make this up. So listen to our podcast jam with co-host Armand Dan. Man, don't be a jerk. Cause when the music hits the funny hits, we are gonna take you down. Stick around, make a sound, come here down, it's Dumb People Town. Hey townies, welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town. Population you. Population, Raka. Mo, Raka. Welcome to the show. It's great to be here. It is so nice. I feel like we've been a fan of yours from afar for so long,

but to actually sit in the same room and riff is just a treat. You've accompanied me on so many flights with Mobituaries. The Vaughn Meter episode is phenomenal. Thank you. And the episode about killing off characters in TV shows. Sitcom characters that either die or just vaporize. It just disappears.

Yes. Just some phenomenal work that you're doing on that show. And the new season's been great as well, too. Thank you. Thank you for

accompanying me. The key to what I think always has drawn us to you is specificity in everything that you do, no matter if you do it for a gigantically broad audience you had a morning tv show to the smaller audience that you it's like you know what i mean you keep the specificity the whole way through and that way you

never you never waver well details are fun right were you guys encyclopedia guys growing up yeah we had encyclopedia are we which one britannica. Britannica. It was a world book. Okay, so we had our dad's like 57 Britannica copies and then we bought the world. Then our parents got us the world book when we were kids and it was like, yeah, these things are amazing.

It was the internet in book form. Totally. That's what I say in my album. We had stacks of the internet all over my house. My mom sold Encyclopedia Britannica. Are you serious? She went door to door? Yeah. She must have had really strong arms.

She did. She's paying the price now. She's paying the price now. But yeah, she sold those for a while. Geez. I talk about it on my album. But I remembered having, and you would just go. It felt fun, right?

It felt fun to see if it was in there. Flip it open randomly. Google it. So I love that we're talking about this because there was a time in this country where people wanted to know things. And I feel like the world, we've now turned the page and we're like, I don't need to know that. And I'm proud. No one looked at an encyclopedia and said fake information. No.

We all just kind of were like, yeah, they said so. Some of it has been argued that it was not factual, but there is history. The Tacitai Indians. Do you remember that whole thing? I don't remember that. It was a group of sort of native peoples outside of Manila or somewhere in the philippines that were said to have been a untouched society of the most quote-unquote primitive primitive society people they were working with rock tools and all that other stuff pre-metal age right yes and what it was later

revealed and then people studied them and they were in rand mcnally books and all that stuff but then what was later found out is that they were all actors by the Philippine government to take away from all the atrocities and other things they were doing but to me, just the thought of like two guys in a loincloth around the corner from Iraq

just smoking being like, yeah, I gotta use the rock thing next. Are you banging down on her or to the side? Anyway, they just snuff it out with their feet. Did you get that hot dog commercial? Yeah, I did, I did, I did. Good, man. Good, good, good. I'm going to accept an Academy Award now.

Reject one for Marlon Brando. Yeah, exactly. I'm from the same agency. I love that you guys had 1957, though, because did you think for a long time that Eisenhower was still president or something? We were frozen in time. Because I had 1974 World Book, and for the longest time

I thought there was like a country called French West Africa and that all in the family was America's most popular TV show well I mean come on

if you had to freeze in time that's not a problem it was that and then our Guinness book of world records 1977 the Guinness book was 77 that was a great

and it provided us one of our first stand up bits of all time which was and then we'll get into a story right away world's tallest man Robert Wadlow

I don't know if you 8 foot 11 and 3 quarters inches tall so there's a photo of him in the Guinness book of all time, which was. And then we'll get into a story right away. World's tallest man, Robert Wadlow. I don't know if you. Eight foot 11 and three quarters inches tall. So there's a photo of him in the Guinness Book with his two regular sized brothers, 5'10, 5'11, and they're standing next to him, he's in the middle. And Guinness Book, I don't know. They had to have been joking.

So they then put in the caption, Robert is the one wearing glasses. Now I think that could have been. Thank they then put in the caption robert is the one wearing glasses now i think that could have thank you guinness this guy's head isn't through the ceiling and he's on you're like oh yeah that's when you remember guinness is a beer yeah that's so right why were why would you remind me why chang and ang were in the guinness book world records were they the siamese twins first ever siamese i don't know like the oldest i think it was all siamese twins? Yeah. First ever Siamese. I don't know, like the oldest living Siamese twins. I think it was oldest. Oldest living, yeah.

Everybody remembers that picture. I just like that they both had tuxedos made for, you know, or maybe it was one jacket, two arms, I don't know. All right. I don't either. All right, let's get into a story. Want to do it? Because the world's getting dumber and we have to fight back somehow, some way, and

we have Mo Rocca here, so why not use the Mo Rocca that we've got? Here we go. Sent in by Pat McMorrin, at Mick Mo Pat, who did what everyone who loves this show could do. Go to Twitter, hashtag dumb people town, at me, that would be at Daniel Van Kirk,

and send me a story. We've got our tour coming up. We'll plug all that stuff later, but we need stories. Dan's been preparing so many shows that we're burning through our stories. So that is, we're putting our dumb boots on the ground.

If you guys are out there and have stories, send Dan stories. Pat McMorrin did it. All right. At McMopat. Tampa, Florida. So belly of the beast. We know where we are. Here we are.

We know where we're at. For the past several years, Amanda Soares has made the trip from Claremont down to Tampa to enjoy the Bay Area Renaissance Festival. Have any of you been to a Ren Faire? Have you been to a Ren Faire? Did you have to do a remote at a Ren Faire? I haven't had to do that yet. I haven't checked that off.

But I think I've been to one as like a tourist. I would love to go to one. Our friend Jamie Denbo, who has been on this show, did a phenomenal improviser, created a show, and I don't know what, this makes a show and I don't know what this makes me upset that I don't know what network it's on but it is all about a Ren fair it is phenomenal it's like

kind of dirty and sexy and about a Ren fair I want a Ren fair to be a little dirty saucy no I don't mean yeah I don't even I just want some like authenticity of grime to it. A little unkept, I guess.

Which is what the Renaissance period was probably like. Probably right. They didn't have that much to do. What would you do back then? You'd joust. You'd joust to hell and then you'd joust between two people. The human joust.

She was excited to have her son and parents tag along for this year's festivities, which means two people. All right, here we go. So to speak. Yeah. The human jest. She was excited to have her son and parents tag along for this year's festivities, which means two things. One, I don't think you should ever take your family in public in Florida. Two, that's a risk. Two, it means that her parents said, we're not going to watch your kid

while you go to the Red Fence. That's a good one. So we're all going. They're all going, yes. That means she's been going for years alone. Yeah this year was like i'm bringing the fam bad idea right like if i brought my kids to burning man i don't know if you've ever been to burning man how many times have you talked already you've been to burning man he brings it up about every five minutes i've never been to burning would you go um wait is that it sounds really dirty i mean like

that's what i think speaking of and I don't like the sanitizing lotion there's a point at which if you're using so much of it you actually start to feel really dirty right or it burns through your skin it creates a globule

I might go this year and that was my one thing with Randy I was like I just need to shower and Randy's like oh you're not gonna have a shower you won't

but there's a then I'm like well then I don't know if I you can get on a cart where you get naked that's the one with the art though right Coachella's the one with the music yeah Coach well, then I don't know if I- You can get on a cart where you get naked. No, no, no. That's the one with the art, though, right? Coachella's the one with the music.

Yeah, Coachella's music and Burning Man is all I know. It's okay. We're all out of it. It's all right. All right, here we go. Mo Rocco would be the only person at Burning Man wearing a blazer. Yes. Dressed sharply.

Okay, here we go. Quote, you feel like you just jumped into another world, and that's what's fun. So, Amanda- Is she talking about parenting or the renter? Amanda Soares is leaning in. She wants the real thing. I want you to be in my life. She wants to jump into another world. You expect to see costumes, of course, all the food.

You're in another world, and the shows are always awesome, said Steve Trigg, Soar's father. Steve Trigg. Steve Trigg. Steve Trigg. Just on name alone knows how to throw a punch. But they're only identifying him as the father. They're not identifying them as a couple. No, that's Sor's.

It's her father. Amanda's father. That's her father. Her father. Her grandfather. She invited along. Great. It's not hard to get lost in the festival's magic atmosphere.

However, the cheers coming from a nearby stage that caused Soras and her family to stop in disbelief. I should read you the headline at this point. Renaissance Festival apologizes after men in kilts competition flashes crowd. So it's authentic. More like Trampa. Yeah. Hashtag Trampa. Is that an official hashtag of the Dumb People Tongue Companion?

Hashtag Trampa. Yeah. Trampa Bay of the Dumb People Tongue Compendium? Hashtag Trampa. Yeah. Trampa Bay. Trampa Bay. Those have to be shirts. Those have to be. Those have to be shirts. That's not a new thing.

At spring break, if somebody's not selling Trampa Bay. If Mo Rocca just came up with hashtag Trampa. You owe him a royalty fee. We owe him more of a debt of gratitude. This never happened in St. Petersburg. That's right. That's right. Thank you, St. Petersburg.

They made them stop and disbelieve. As I'm filming, first of all, you're not going along with the Renaissance Fair then. Yeah. You're filming at the Renaissance. You can't film at a Renaissance. Did they have iPhone 11s back in the Renaissance? No, I think it was iPhone 2. You're going to be tried as a witch.

That's right, if you have a camera. As I'm filming, they're cheering and cheering. This one came around, swirled around, danced, and then he bent over and lifted up his kilt and there's his backside saying hello i don't think that's what it was saying saying goodbye yeah that's right is that goodbye right everyone's saying come on in everyone's cheering and cheering and shaking and then you're seeing other body parts shaking from underneath there said steve trigg steve trigg not having it but steve trigg is talking around what's going on like just tell us he lifted up his kilt he wasn't wearing it i saw his balls i like it just say it like why are you trying to tip the guy running this kilt festival ran it like a wet t-shirt contest. Were there kilts?

I don't associate kilts with Renaissance. No, that feels later. Yeah. Feels later Scottish. I'm going to look it up. Right. Because Renaissance feels just like the United Kingdom, right? Well, I mean, Italy, right? And France, Renaissance, I guess.

But the festivals. Right. But the Renaissance. England, right? But was the Renaissance. For the English England, right? Was the Renaissance defined by the art and the writing

by the literature and the art of the time? So it's like 17th and 18th century. But it's been co-opted to mean swords. Give us the history of the kilt. This would be K in your 1974 world book encyclopedia. Stretches back to at least the end of the 16th century.

So then that would have crossed over? It first appeared as a belted platter, great kilt. The full garment, upper half could be worn as a cloak draped over the shoulder. So it was shoulder length. It was a cloak. You could wear a shoulder kilt? Or walking kilt. Walking kilt is similar to the modern kilt.

Did not develop until the late 17th century. Right. Okay. Well, all right. That's still Renaissance. That still feels Renaissance-y. You guys are smarter than I am. I don't know.

That's amazing. So everyone's cheering here. But as I was saying, I was hoping, I just want to think of the guys like, all right, everybody, we're going to get these guys up here. They're going to come up, cheer for them now. And then. Coming to the main stage. Okay.

So we used to do, we used to do a bit. They're like the thunder from down under. Yeah. From under their kilts. We used to do a bit in our act about going to see a magic show in Las Vegas with our parents. And we were like 20. And there were little kids

in the crowd it was like a 2 p.m show and the guy does this like crazy Lance Burton was his name he does the thing where he wheels out an empty cage spins it around three times taps it and then like 50 white doves flat out and he had all these little kids on the stage bring all the kids on the stage bring them up on the stage and they're're all trying to catch the doves, which also seems weird. But then they fly off, and it's all over. Then the lights go down. Music comes up. Curtain opens.

And a topless, levitating woman is up there. So they just did a thing with the- I was like, wait. I see a kid still getting off the stage. And there's topless- Breasts. So it just was like I guess you know

not that we have a problem with breasts but it is a jarring change in tone I mean it is it's sort of like a strip bar right next

to like a Jimboree right like you can you can have a topless woman if you don't bring the kids on the stage right if you don't acknowledge

that there are children in the audience and you sort of act like oh I don't know who's coming she's a wet nurse yes she is. She could have been.

She could have been provided. But then the kids have to be really young. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, and then they don't even comprehend what's happening. One of the parents was like, I was told there'd be no food. Oh, she's right.

I'm not dairy. All right, so listen, 14th century to the 17th century was the Renaissance period. It was a rediscovery of classic philosophical literature and art, a rebirth of political artistic renaissance of sorts it kind of was uh but it came after the middle ages i'm and so that was sort of a dark time but doesn't it feel like a lot of renaissance fairs are also part of the middle ages yeah there's a little bit of an overlap i think there

i'm gonna i'm gonna be a uh renaissance truther okay so yeah come on dan come on so here's a little bit of an overlap, I think, there. I'm going to be a Renaissance truther. Yeah, come on, Dan. Come on, Dan. So here's a picture of the Renaissance Fair. Now, when you look at this, you'll see that they should have known they were in for trouble from the jump, that these guys on stage were not all there to just be family-friendly. There is a man, a big red-bearded man with only wearing a kilt. Only a kilt. Then there's someone dressed as like a bear or a wolf.

And a Catholic school girl. Yeah. And then another guy with no shirt. And then this guy is like ACDC. Oh, he's like Angus Young? Yes, he looks like Angus Young. In a kid's school outfit. Yes, he looks exactly like Angus Young.

Which I always said about Angus Young from ACDC, the lead guitarist, who dresses like a British schoolboy. That he chose that outfit at a very young age when he probably was just out of school. He's like, there's no way ACDC is going to be around long enough for me to be a 75-year-old man in a British schoolboy's outfit. It's like when you go on set and you do a movie or a scene and the very first take you take a huge bite of a hamburger. People are always like, don't do that. Because 30 30 takes later you're either spitting it into a bucket bucket so that's essentially he took a giant bite of a figurative hamburger and that's where he's at angus well he didn't think that he probably didn't think the band would be that successful right this would be

over and these people were like look there's not gonna be that many people here there's not gonna be kids at the re. We can look like a float at the Pride Parade in West Hollywood. That's kind of what they're starting to look like in this thing. Well, it also looks a little bit like a barn racing, like a little Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Oh, for sure.

And a great turnout for the Men in Kilts. Right. I was like, man, we're having trouble getting people out to our show. Look at how people show up for the Ren Faire. We should probably just promote that we're a Ren Faire. The show is part of the Men in Kilts competition. It's advertised on Facebook with a description explaining to guests that they're in for

a real treat. Nope. However... Do not say that. No! That encourages people to wear nothing. However... More like men without kilts. Thank you. Far from how Soros and her son were expecting this son the unsafety dance i'm there with my 13 year old son this is a quote and he's a little older but it's still super embarrassing stories explain you don't need to be embarrassed no he gave me a look like whoa

what is happening on the stage over there and i would have said welcome to the renaissance that's right uh despite the crowd's cheers some people can be seen shielding their eyes or turning away which is also great renaissance response totally yes sores and her father uh said they were given no warning how would that even work hey you know what's supposed to walk up there and be like all right y'all welcome to the ye olde merry time we're gonna get some men's dicks out here in a couple of minutes. If anybody's triggered by seeing genitalia, now is the time. Turn away. We just want to get out in front of it.

In 1978, we went on a family vacation to New Orleans because my father wanted to hear Dixieland jazz. And we walked down Bourbon Street. And I can still remember this is the first time I had seen a topless woman. And my mother, who's Colombian, I thought she would be really upset about it because she was really strict and she went and she thought it was really i mean she thought it was great she

thought it was kind of funny you were in the culture yeah exactly we weren't looking for i want to go back to the fact that your dad wanted to see dixieland jazz and so you guys all had to come with him but we drove from washington Washington, D.C. Get out of here. Oh my God. And along the way, how old were you? You said 78? In 1978, so it was nine. Okay.

So at that point, were you complaining along the way? Were you saying, why are we doing this? Or were you just like, all right, this is what we do.

This is what dad wants to do. We were told, we knew that at the hotel in New Orleans, there was a revolving bar on top. And so that made it, that was the carrot.

You're going to rotate as you eat, kids. Right. So that's why we're driving about 30 hours. But it was, it paid off. It was, I mean,

I wish it would have spun faster. Sure, of course. But you also got to walk around the French Quarter and you have this unbelievable memory. We did, yeah. Did you find New Orleans, and now that you've traveled to walk around the French Quarter and you had this unbelievable memory. We did, yeah. Did you find New Orleans, and now that you've traveled all over the country, and I still find this about New Orleans, I can't believe it's in the South. It feels like a European city plunked into the Bible Belt.

It's just so bizarre. That's the good part of it. I think the not so good part of it is just it's always so sticky. Yes. Don't go in the summer. Right. But also all like the alcohol and with lots of sugary additives,

whatever. Oh, like the floor is sticky everywhere. after probably an open mic night. Yes. Like the entire city is that way. Yes. Sticky.

The entire city is a floor after an open mic night. Despite the people shielding their eyes on that stuff, they said they were given no warning quote he was the fourth or fifth person that was trying to show what was under his kill so they got into a real one-upsmanship situation and everyone's cheering

said steve trigg i i wish steve trigg was here what those who put on the bay area renaissance festival so okay so it could... I mean, the Tampa Bay Area. You thought San Francisco Bay Area because you're like, well, okay. Oh yeah, Tampa Bay. I'll allow it. Those that put on the Tampa Bay Area

Renaissance Festival were appalled to hear of guests' experience. The festival's general manager, Kathy Parker, she's also on the board i don't know what but i guarantee kathy parker has a walkie talkie even when she's not at the festival kathy parker demanded to have a like a like she's like what is my title right and they're like kathy you're just an organizer kathy parker no i need to be general manager i want that kathy parker is someone you've never interacted with

who starts out a conversation by saying, we've met once before. No, we have not, Kathy. We have not. I've never met you before. Just one thing I'd like to say. I'm the GM. You're going to say way more than one, Kathy.

Here's what I'm going to need from you. We haven't even said hi yet. Right, exactly. So she's a GM. She's not the coach, right? And so she's in. Yes. She's the GM.

So more of an overseer. Front office, front office. Right, right, right. She's not day-to- so she's yes okay she's the gm it's more of an old front office front office right right right she's not day-to-day but big picture she'll step in she makes moves she'll get blamed right yes it's on me you guys i need everyone my name is out there on this one she said on behalf of the bay area renaissance festival we would like to apologize to anyone that may have been offended by a ticket holder by a ticket holder that participated in our men in kilts competition yesterday also half apology if you were bothered sorry we're not sorry that it happened yeah sorry that you were bothered sorry that that

like by the way the worst thing to say to someone when you're apologizing i'm sorry that made you upset that's putting it 100 percent upset i'm sorry about sorry you upset. That's putting it 100% on the people who are upset. I'm sorry about it. Sorry you got upset from that. Sorry you couldn't handle it. I'm starting to feel bad for the guy who flashed his genitalia because he had to buy a ticket? He would have thought that. He's in the kilt competition.

You should get in for free. I thought he'd be comped. Right, exactly. I'm assuming. Maybe this is a reaction to having to buy a ticket. He got there, had one too many meat and mead, and then they said, hey, there's a man in a kilt.

He's like, I'm in. Let me take my shirt off. I'm like, no, I don't think you need to do that. I got it all. See if that guy dressed as a bear wants to come do it. Is that a meat and mead? Is that like a renaissance meet and greet? Yes, meet and mead is a meet and greet of food and fun.

She said, she went on to say uh the person was not employed by the festival and not acting in a manner condoned by the festival but i would say could be timely for the air for right and then she went on and on it's like can everyone switch by the period not by the people that's it that's how she should have closed it up and then she went on to be like can everyone switch to channel two please who's on channel three everyone switch to channel two oh yeah all this you're the only one with the walkie talkie why is jeff not on channel three get him on channel three uh we take pride in a 45 year history of being the producer of the multiple family friendly festivals and events around the country we will continue to produce entertainment for everyone's enjoyment while maintaining our emphasis of good family fun. Sorez, that's Amanda,

told Fox 13 she still plans to return to the festival next year and she's hopeful that changes will be made. More people will show their junk. Right. She's like, that wasn't enough for me. Yeah, if you'd have warned me, I wouldn't have brought the kids.

Here's the change. Dad, mom, kid, you're staying at home. Right. I'd say the change. Get Steve Teague in that festival. Steve Teague. Steve Tree. I'm sorry, Steve Tree. Thank you. Detail oriented. Detail. Story number one.

The family that wrens together. I'm just stuck on wren as a verb. The family that wrens together. Wrenfares together. Wren as a verb. The family that Wrens together. Wrenfairs together. Wrenfairs together. Despairs together. Despairs together.

If they are seeing that kind of stuff. I wish I was in the car with you on that trip down to New Orleans. I wish I was on Bourbon Street with you. I wish I was with your mom when she made that noise. The day before, we'd been in St. Augustine, Florida, where they had the best Ripley's, believe it or not, museum. Ooh, the one in Wisconsin Dells was really good, too. Is that true?

Yeah, very good. I don't know if it could be to a Florida Ripley's, believe it or not. Dan, I don't believe that. Dan, I don't believe that. Okay, fine. You're going to have to. Or not. Or not. Believe it or not, it is the best one.

All right, Mo Rock is with us. We have more Dumb People Town right after the break. Stay with us. Stick around. Make us down for more Dumb People Town. Hey, guys. Welcome back to the show. We got Mo Rocca with us.

Tell people how they can find your podcast, how to follow you, and see all the great stuff that you're doing. Oh, well, the podcast is also called Mobituary so you get it wherever you get your podcast wherever you get your podcast wherever you get it

I'm not going to ask if you make back alley deals to get your podcast I'm not judging no no no but get Mobituary it's fine

get it it's fantastic it's really really amazing yeah well dead people are really easy to deal with they don't talk back I'll tell you that how has it been doing that show and how long does it take you to put together an

episode it takes about three months to do yeah i know i believe was it the audrey hepburn one yeah um where she walked into i worked at macy's in harold square i was um i wasn't a spritzer those are the male models in front of the counter i was behind the counter so i kind of used the male model to kind of lure in the customers and then one day audrey hepburn walked by the counter. I was behind the counter. So I kind of used the male model to kind of lure in the customers. And then one day, Audrey Hepburn walked by the counter. I mean, really, the whole retail floor fell silent. I could only imagine.

Could you? I cannot imagine. She kind of floated by. What year is this? 1992. Wow. And then I had no idea she was sick. She died a few months later.

She died on the day that Bill Clinton was inaugurated. So he pushed her off the front page. Yeah, exactly. And really jerk. I did not push her. And who knows, did you notice her and you hadn't been told yet

or did it permeate through the department? Yeah, Wendy was there. Did it kind of whisper through there? It did whisper through. It just went, yeah, really, it did. It just went quiet and uh and just kind of watched and she you know i can still see her in my mind's eye like well obviously she's not here but walking walking past the counter and you know and i don't think anyone

even you know spritzed or anything we just all kind of watched it's audrey hepburn and scarf over the head where was she well she had the interesting thing is she kind of had no cervical curve, like her neck, right? It was just like a really straight line. So it really was like there was a string like kind of pulling her from above and she just – She had such good posture. Great posture. Yeah, of course. And look, she had raised money.

It's not fan fiction. In secret dance performances in Nazi-occupied Holland, she raised money for the resistance in these secret dance performances that she'd hold. I mean, she was really kind of like a superhero. She was. Yeah. And so for that episode, I wanted to talk to her sons about kind of what drove her. Because I noticed, and Twitter's so awful, but one of the interesting things that I've noticed that's not horrible is I see her trending all the time.

And I thought she's been dead over a quarter century. Why is she trending? What is it? And her sons told me they said she almost starving to death during the war really kind of had this great impact on her. And when they described what it meant to her, I went back and I looked at the movies again. And there is like this quality of kind of yearning and sort of gratitude that sort of comes through. And I don't think it's an accident. His studios tried to remake her and they couldn't.

They couldn't. Other actresses didn't have the same connection. I don't think it's an accident when people connect with the camera. Yeah, or that she's as iconic as she was because there's something deeper inside of her that that all people can can can connect it's why she's iconic right yeah um beautiful well i just can't tell everybody enough i'm a fan of mobituaries that as a as a as a comic the von meter i know i referenced it earlier episode because we have this symbiotic relationship to the events and the news that are happening.

And if your career kind of rests solely on one of those things existing and then it gets taken away, you do have the career floor is taken away from you. And he was a household name of the JFK. Yeah, Von Meter did this uncanny impersonation of JFK. He wasn't a great stand-up comic otherwise, but he just had this crazy uncanny ability. He became – comedy albums were new. This is in 1962 at this point.

They create an album called The First Family where it's the Kennedy family. He's playing Kennedy. It becomes the biggest selling album of all time up to that point. It wins album of the year, the second comedy album to ever do so after Bob Newhart. November 22nd, 1963. Was Bob Newhart's Button Down comic? Was that the one? It's the one where he does the Great Lincoln, the PR bit.

I don't know the name of it. But comedy albums were pretty new. And he becomes wildly famous. Kennedy is murdered. And he becomes this living reminder of this horrible day. And he said, we found, we unearthed in the CBS News archives this long interview he gave a few years before he died in 2004 where he told basically his life story while he's drinking vodka, by the way. Of course, when you hear the ice cubes shingling. So from the bottle, okay. Yeah, yeah, by the way. Of course, when you hear the ice cubes jingling. So from the bottle, okay.

Yeah, yeah, from the bottle. And he's talked about one time walking down 2nd Avenue in New York City and this riveter, this construction worker, stopped what he was doing, walked over to him and just put his hand on Von Meter's shoulder as if not saying anything as if to say i'm so sorry and von meter's reaction which i understand is he wanted to kill the guy and say like i'm not dead i'm alive i'm gonna stop it don't you know don't associate me that much with this is because it takes a certain amount of skill to be somebody place when we have friends james adomian who does the most unbelievable Bernie Sanders ever. I mean, for a long time, most of what I did was just doing a character of Mark Wahlberg. Right.

And if at that point, God forbid, he had gone away, I would have stopped doing that and not been asked to do anything else. Which is crazy. For a chapter of my career. Sure. It kind of hinged on that ability. So, guys, dig deep into Mobituaries. I really want you to check it out. which is crazy you know for a chapter of my career like it was like it kind of hinged on that ability so guys dig deep into Mobituaries I really want you to

It's just great. Can I say something about St. Louis? Yes. Which you guys are from, right? That's where we grew up. Yeah. You probably covered it somewhere when the St. Louis blues were winning went from last

and worst record in the nhl all the way to stanley cup after they adopted gloria laura brannigan is the theme song that people started asking for laura brannigan to come sing the song because they didn't realize she died she died yeah yeah she's dead really yeah i missed that so but you know where they got the song from? This is an interesting story. So they were in Philadelphia and they had won and they went to this bar. The team goes to this bar where a softball team. Local union guys.

Union guys were in there at their local bar after their softball game and they were playing Glory on the jukebox and like, this is our rally song. We started winning once we started listening to this song, and it became this thing. And the Blues are like, we're taking that. We're taking this song. I mean, it's the most random song. It is not a rock anthem. It is not Gary Glitter. It is not We Will Rock You.

It's the opposite, quite honestly. It's a female singer singing a song about a woman. I mean, it's the opposite quite honestly it's a female singer singing a song about a woman i mean it's the weirdest thing for it to become the battle cry the only thing weirder would have been sheena easton my baby takes the morning train okay i thought you were gonna say sugar walls my baby takes the morning train is the most submissive like i'm at home patriarchal my baby takes the morning train. He works from 9 to 5 and then he takes another one home again to find me waiting for him.

She could have worked during the day. I actually think it's more post-feminist. I think that she's decided that she's staying home. She's making the choice to stay home. Maybe she's podcasting from her house. You give her all the power? Anyway, let's jump into another story. Here we go. Story number two. I want to read you the headline.

A beachcomber brought home what she thought was a rusty old plate. She later learned it was a landmine. Have you seen? Honey, I got something good today. It's so good. She thought it was a plate? Yes. I'm going to eat off this.

It goes click when you step on it. Oh, God. I saw a guy with a metal detector. These plates are ticking. Yeah. I saw a guy with a metal detector at the beach, and I was the most fascinated. I always want to walk with them, because they're- What are you going to get?

I think- A landmine. I'm looking for treasure. Are you? Treasure for treasure. Yeah. Treasure. Treasure. Okay. I'm just like, please let treasure be coins and not like a dead stripper. You're a kid.

You just said a dead stripper. Linda Hartman at LKHTMN. Linda Hartman. Linda Hartman. Hashtag dumb. Linda Hartman. Linda Hartman. Linda Hartman.

At Daniel. Kirk. Love you, Linda. You're always out there for us. This is from CNN. Back in April, Jane Wilson, with a Y, so Renaissance, found out that she thought what was an old plate lying on the beach, the truth was a bit more explosive. Wilson.

I know. I love when they put jokes in news. You're a journalist. You can't. You're like, if you were to, if that appeared. Yeah, but Moe's got liberty to actually do it well. Yeah, but he would be making fun of that choice. That's right. Yeah.

Of that idea. Wilson, who works as a private home health aide, love, big nod to that. My mom did that for a long time. Was walking her client's dog around sunrise on Indian River Shores Beach in Florida. The avid beachcomber likes collecting sea glass. I get that. And something did. I like newspeak. Yeah.

It did. Lying atop the sand that day looked like a plate. Maybe a long loss to go off a Spanish ship. Okay, you're reaching. Yeah, let's... Like a serving platter? Yes. looked like a plate. Maybe a long loss to go off a Spanish ship. Okay, you're reaching. Like a serving platter? Yes, it's a plate. Here's a picture of her with the plate. She's so happy.

It looks more like a catcher's mitt to me than a plate, but it's a disc. What is it, the mortar or the pestle? It looks like something. The pestle is the stick, the mortar. And a mortar is also A shell Oh my god

A mortar See We're coming up with it right here And if you want to see What this looks like Join the Facebook page I know it's growing slowly But we should be up

At 75,000 people On this Facebook page Look at how happy she is She's so happy I know Meanwhile the dog is run off Right It's just like

It knows Right yeah Look at me Here we go So she took it home What is she wearing She's wearing like just like a nice little florida walk around it's good for a light breeze or if it's humid you're not too bad a little walk around shirt it's a is it a vest no i think it's a one it's got a cool sleeves okay fine okay

but meanwhile i bet she feels self-conscious about what happened and this is like the telling the story like you can't bring this story up around her like I know she it's like we have to walk we have to walk very carefully she's got no you're right she got she have to walk very gingerly and carefully around this subject you can't could explore the two of you at Sklar Brothers

for their submersive landmine humor she has PTSD over this whole so she took it home for months. Listen to this. She chipped away at the shells and barnacles, crusted onto its surface. I'm getting to this place.

You're going to figure it out, like a screwdriver. I ain't no dummy. Boom, boom, boom. Storing it in a lunchbox cooler filled with water. Okay. Which made me think something. Do kids still have lunchboxes? My daughter does. Lunchboxes got to be those lunchboxes.

They do? It's a thing? It's a thing that still happens? So my son has a soft lunchbox. lunchboxes got a cooler lunchbox they do it's a thing it's a thing that still happens so my son has a soft yeah george has a soft about well it's about the ability to expand and it's not metal and it's uh jaycee's got an original backpack material whoa so she takes to high school so really original like and she puts lunch in there yep i put lunch in there for you come on good dad good dad wink he's taking that morning train yes when she finds me waiting for her at the end uh then on tuesday there was a post on a community web page about a man who found a landmine a friend sent it over to wilson saying jane stop chipping it away chipping away is this the thing you have in a cooler, and

this is where Jane keeps all of her most important things, on your living room floor? No! It's by the coffee table. Even if it's just a plate that you are trying to soak in water and chip away every day, don't keep it in the living room. Dan, chipping away at the landmine until it explodes in your face is the definition of marriage. That is the definition. That's marriage.

Honey, are you going to clean the garage? Chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip. Honey. Do you get the emails? Yeah. Chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip. The marriage story would have been so much more suspenseful. If there was a landmine in the middle of it.

Noah Baumbach. Are you watching? The kid is the landmine. The kid is the landmine. In Marriage Story. Yes. A little bit. Kiefer Sutherland is in there somewhere. Yes, 100%.

That's why they called him Noah Baumbach. Bomb. Sorry. Randy. I'm so sorry. He puts the bomb in Baumbach? That's the law, brother. Tell them how you feel about that.

No. Because I loved it. Thank you. Okay, here's another thing. So remember, a friend. Dan, did you love it because you didn't have a dad? And you're like, at least this guy's around for some things. Yeah, he was fighting.

He was way in there. Yeah, he was fighting. He didn't go off to California. Okay. Here's a Disney hat. Okay, so you went there? Okay, so a friend sent it over to Wilson. This is what I want to reanalyze.

Go back. Picture, hey, is this what you have in the cooler on your living room floor? Which means what? He knows that she will not shut up about this plate. She brings it up every day. Everyone in her friend group knows that it's in her living room on the floor. You know I got a plate on the living room floor. Yes, you told us.

It's in the cooler. Is there liquid in there? Yes, water is in there to help hopefully disintegrate it. But here's the thing. She gets asked to come out with people. We're going to Applebee's tonight. I can't.

I'm chipping the plate tonight. I'm chipping the plate tonight. I'd love to. Who was Florida at war with? Why are there landmines? Chipping the plate. It's in here. I don't know if I included it,

but if I did, I would. Chipping the plate is It's in here. I don't know if I included it, but if I did, I would be the answer. Chipping the plate is the touching the void. Because that is kind of what it is. She's touching the void. She's close to the edge of whatever her life is going to be. Chipping the plate. She's chipping the plate. And her and her husband

are going through a fight. I just wish something would end this whole thing. Little does she know, they're literally sitting on a bike. You keep bugging me. You keep chipping. I'm going to explode. So that's when she realized what she had stored at home. How many months

do you think she had been chipping away at a landmine in a cooler in her living room? Figuratively or literally? Literally. Okay.

Mo, you are our guest. You can go first or in between me and Jason. It's a little fun side game. How long do you think Jane Wilson had a landmine in her living room chipping at it nine months okay so the amount of time it takes to make a person exactly okay jay what do you think 14 months okay i think she added it for three years i know this is okay 30 36 months yeah okay one of you is exactly right. Oh!

Now we get to play another game. Who do you think is right? Who do you think is exactly right? Now you can have confidence. I think that Jason's right. Okay. 14 months. I think I'm right. Okay.

I think I'm right. I think Mo is right. Okay. The amount of months, the time, I'll say time, the amount of time that Jane Wilson had a cooler in her living room filled with water I'm assuming next to the couch or on the end table. She'd bring it out during Jeopardy and just chip away at it.

She puts her feet up on it during wheel. She had that landmine for nine months. Oh, Mo! Have confidence in yourself. I want to thank my agent. Who else can you thank? I was always so jealous of families that had sunken living rooms growing up.

What if it had detonated and they would have had a sunken living room? A crater? Sunken living room is kind of amazing. Sunken living room is a show I want to see on HGTV. That's all they do. Come in and sink the living room. Sink the living room.

I love a good talking den. It always makes me just feel happy. Sunk in the Living Room is an indie rock band. So in Crimes and Misdemeanors, there's a very pivotal scene that I wrote a huge paper when I was in Michigan. In the Sunk in the Living Room? Fire's going in the fireplace. The rabbi's going blind.

He's descending. The murder has happened. He's descending into a hell-like state near the fire. The rabbi's getting more and more blind. It's like this battle between good and evil and the sunken living room the whole time. I'm like, that's an awesome sunken living room. It's just so great.

You can also call it a conversation pit. Yes. So can we vote on which is better, a sunken living room. It's just so great. You can also call it a conversation pit. Yes. Yes. So which, can we vote on which is better, a sunken living room or a conversation pit? Sunken living room

evokes pirate culture. Like sunken treasure. I don't know. I mean, I have a dream. I'm a sunken living room guy. Me too. Conversation pit's pretty dope though.

The SLR? Come on, let's get in the SLR. I don't, like, I have a dream of owning like a big windowed mid-century modern home with a sunken living room. Oh, my God. Sectional couch. I know.

Sectional couch that goes around like a U. It follows the thing of the sunken. It's like the Mad Men. That's what I'm saying. But I think Don Draper's New York apartment in Mad Men had a sunken living room. Oh, yeah. The couch is built in. Yeah.

Oh, God. Jesus. Now I'm literally just fetishizing furniture and a bear chair or whatever they're called. It's mid-century. Okay, here we go. Get me off of this. All right. I had it sitting in an old cooler, and it was sitting on the kitchen counter, she said.

I thought it was a plate. I was hoping to find a plate. She's so dejected by this bomb. She's like, you got me, Ocean. Don't pick stuff up if it's not yours. Leave it alone. Also, it's not the only plate in the world. Go to Pure One Imports.

If you want to spend some money, go to Heath. Also, this reminds me, if you have not watched on Netflix, The Treasure of the Unbelievable, I believe is what it's called.

I haven't. It is an unreal documentary. The Treasure of the Unbelievable. I don't know it. Watch it. The next time

you're on a plane, and then I'm sure we'll have a conversation about it. What is it called? Abducted in Plain Sight. No. Okay. This next time you're on a plane. And then I'm sure we'll have a conversation about it. What is it called? Abducted in Plain Sight. No. Okay.

This is what we tell everyone. It's a dark documentary. Okay. But 22 minutes in, your brain will melt. You need to text us or DM us when you hit 22 minutes. Watch it. And then at the 22-minute mark, stop watching it and text us your thought. Well, you won't be able to help yourself.

Abducted in Plain Sight. But it's dark. DM us. If you're okay for won't be able to help yourself. Abducted in plain sight. But just, it's dark. DM us. If you're okay for a dark, it's turn. Yeah. Okay. I just took somebody who doesn't know what they're walking into there. I know, I know.

Although it is called abducted in plain sight. All right. It's insane. She called the Indian River Shores Police, which feels problematic, who told her to evacuate her home while they notified a near air force base to pick up the mine you leave wilson though she's like i've been living with this thing yeah yeah she reasoned that if it hadn't gone off in the last few months it probably wasn't gonna go off now right yeah i think it's a dud yeah no no yeah so dan's my brother and cousin at the princeton

flea market in this whole story on my album. They bought a grenade. My mom marched them back up and said, is this real? And he said to my mom, it's never gone off. I think it's a dud. Where was this again? Princeton, Wisconsin.

Princeton, Wisconsin. The largest open-air, semi-annual, bi-monthly... You're good. It's the largest open-air, semi-annual, bi-monthly. It's the largest weekly April till October flea market in the state. Okay. And carve that niche. He said it's never gone off. And then she just looked at me and goes, I'm pretty sure it's a dud.

And the joke I always say is, pretty sure it's a dud are the final tragic words of every horrific 4th of July party. Just look down the barrel. Put your eye over the tube. I think it's a dud. Put your hand in there. I think it's dud. That Roman candle's not going to go off. Okay, so she says if it hasn't gone off in the last few months, probably not going to go off now.

So instead, she brought it to her client's house. You're there to take care of these people. Remember, she's a home health nurse. Oh, my God. She brought it to her client's house and decided to leave it outside. So she told the cops, I gotta go to work. I'll take the landmine with me over to Susan's house.

Let me bring it nearer to other people. I'm gonna just transport it as many places as possible. Is that okay? Let me get it as close to more population as possible. Right. And then I'll leave it outside her door. You come get it whenever. Oh my god. Wilson said after living with it for nearly a year, she decided on another course of action

and that was it. So I put it outside and we stayed inside. That still doesn't protect you from a bomb necessarily. She put it outside one of the client houses. Where? On the porch? Yeah, on the porch. Where did you put it? On the porch. Indian River Shores

Police Captain Mark Shaw told the T., this is a TC Palm that isn't Greenlee. Amazing. That similar fines occur all the time in the area. You have to be extremely careful. You never know, he said. We treat it as live and able to explode at any second. Exactly.

She's posted 12 Instagram pictures of her holding up the plate, serving salad on it, chipping away at it. How great would it have been if Angelina Jolie just showed up? Because that was her big thing, awareness about landmines. Yes. Was it? Yes. Oh, my God. She just got an alert, a Google alert.

She's like, I need to be there. I'm sorry. I'm on my way. Sorry. Do you have any blood to drink? Here's the deal. I've been with my kids way too much for the last two months. I've been with them two days in the last two months.

I didn't realize how hard parenting was. Before we get out of this, I dug it up to dig this up for you. It very well could be a training mine, said a police officer. You got to be careful. You never know. He said the Army Corps of Engineers, which had personnel scouring the shoreline for ordnance objects like they found in 2019, they regularly do this because I think that was used. Maybe this isn't in this article, but they used it as a training.

During World War II, they would train off the coast of Florida. Mine sweepers. Yeah. And they would do training exercises, and they don't know if it was live or just used for a training one. But they find this stuff, I guess, all the time on the speech. Do they detonate it? They didn't say.

They just said they went and came and got it. I don't think it was live. She should get a show called Mine Hunter. Yes! M-I-N-E. The section of the shore. Yours and mine? Mine Hunter.

Mine Hunter is she. Yours is mine. She hunts for items, and then she gets to keep all of them. Yeah, exactly. Mine Hunter. Mine Hunter is she... What's yours is mine. She hunts for items and then she gets to keep all of them. Yeah, exactly. Mine Hunter. She's looking for dishware but she's still... Or it's all German. It's M-E-I-N

Hunter. And it's all German. All stuff that she gets to keep only if she lives in Germany. Last thing I'll say. I found it. The section of the shore north of Round Island Beach where both landmines were found served as a World War II training area called Fort Pierce Naval Amphibious Training Base,

a 19,000 acre shoreline active from 1943 to 1946. It was a training ground for them leading up to D-Day. They used it as a training area. Great that they took all the stuff that they left there. That's really nice. Well, you gotta remember, just like we talked about in Mad Men, that scene that they took all the stuff that they left there. That's really nice. You've got to remember, just like we talked about in Mad Men,

that scene where they go on the picnic and they just throw everything off the blanket and walk away. This was the time where you would just leave things. Your mind. Kick that over there. We're getting out of here. Out of sight, out of mind. There you go. Story two. Down in the books. Can you give us a little taste of what we'll see in segment three? Are all the stories

in Florida? No, some take place all over. Yeah, I found one today earlier. I don't know if it's going to be in here. From Montana. The next one is about just a town full of dumb people. Kind of like what we have there. I love it. Dumb people town.

All right, Mo Rocca's with us. We have one more segment. Stay with us. Stick around. Make a sound. There's more Dumb People Town. All right, welcome back to Dumb People Town. Daniel, take us home with the story of the dumbest town in the world.

I will. Before I forget, come see me in Austin at Cap City Comedy Club. I was like, oh, I need to promote that more. So go to danielvancourg.com March 11th, 13th, and 14th. I'll be there. Supersclars.com. Come see us in Madison. We'll be there with Madison Muscat.

we have great art you guys' art right now is killer I have new material that I'm working out from the new album that's really going great

so love it and we're trying new stuff and our feature act is nate abshire from minneapolis who is so funny so uh come see us in madison and it'll it'll be a blast all right there we go ready yep uh sent in by daniel timmons at timmons the dj great farm it's was here we go all right uh just the headline alone is five words u..S. town rejects solar panels. Yep. Why not? The town.

The town is like, not here. We don't like them. Not here. Wait till you hear. Not on my watch. We don't believe in the sun. Not in my backyard. Not on my roof's backyard.

NIMBY wasn't at the... I want solar panels so badly. Get them. I'm ready to like go the... My LADWP bills are so high and they're just getting higher every... I Get them. I'm ready to like go. My LADWP bills are so high and they're just getting higher every... I want them. Don't you want wind energy?

Your kids would love a windmill. A windmill would be a giant windmill on top of our house. Our neighbors would be like what? A U.S. town has rejected a proposal. This is from The Independent. That's why they keep calling it U.S. A U.S. town has rejected a proposal for This is from The Independent. That's why they keep calling it U.S. A U.S. town has rejected a proposal for a solar farm following public concerns. And if I made you guess them, you guys could not get as dumb as these people are.

So the solar farm. Now, you've driven out to Vegas or been out kind of that way. You can see it before I am. You're driving out into very ugly desert that is nothing. It's absolutely nothing. And then huge swaths of areas, you have solar panels that could basically run the electricity of the entire state of Nevada. If you like put it on more,

if they covered most of the desert with massive solar panels and they're getting better at making, you could do more and it would be just this fantastic thing. But like, so what would you rather see? Just a stark desert. Is that something that was, is more beautiful to you? No, Rand, I don't think environmentalists

and people who are naturalists, I don't think nature people are objecting to this. Do they think that it's going to make the sun more powerful? Let's get into it. I can't wait. Members of the public. Big sun. Yeah, be leery of big sun.

Big sun is so oppressive. It'll burn you. That's me. Big pharma. Members of the public in Woodland, North Carolina, expressed their fear and mistrust at the proposal to allow Strata Solar Company to build a solar farm off of Highway 258. It's funny.

Fear and mistrust has never stopped progress in the past. Ever. Yeah. Ever. Especially in the South. That usually is the harbinger of progress. During the Woodland Town Council meeting meeting one local man bobby man two b's actually three b's two n's bobby man said solar farms ready for this this was his argument they take your soul solar farms would

suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not go to woodland because solar farms take too much of the sun's power. Mo, are you processing? So what would happen? It would get too cold, I guess. It would get cold. Or too hot. We wouldn't have enough sun to go around. Yeah.

Look, I've worked on a farm my whole day. I'm like, you can only harvest a field so many times. You're going to harvest that sun, yet you're going to have nothing left for everybody else. Does he think they're going there and taking... It's not a zero sun game. Stop. Right.

Stop. Look. But you're also right. Yeah, it is renewable energy. There is a reason why they call it renewable energy. He thinks that it's going to suck too much stuff out of the sun and then... We're going to ruin the sun. He makes the leap from it. Businesses

won't come there. Because we've taken too much of the sun. You've got to suck too much of the sun. He thinks that there's a measured amount. The sun gives you 100 kilowatts a day. If we get these farms, we're going to take too much and it won't be enough to go around for the planet.

I can't believe you didn't say you're going to piss off the sun god. No, that probably would go against the whole other set of beliefs. I don't root for people to get struck by lightning, but this guy, if it happened, we could be like, all right, let's just lay him down. There would be one less lightning that would hit somebody.

We only get 11 bolts. Here's what people need to understand about the sun. Our fear is not the sun depleting. It's doing too much. That it's going to get out of hand someday. We're going to have another big, what they call it, I can't remember the name now, but in the

1800s, there was a solar storm that really screwed up what limited technology we had at the time. They're saying that we're due for another one and it would kill all of our technology in one... It messed up so much, like radio waves and things like that, that if we have another one which we're due for,

it's called the something effect. He doesn't want us getting tangled up with the sun. Don't mess with the sun. Right. Because if you get too involved, it'll bite you in the ass. It's a bad relationship. Jane Mann, gotta be Bobby's sister, wife, mom, daughter, friend. We're both Jane Mann.

We're all four. A retired science teacher said she was concerned that the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing and stop them from growing. Great. Now we have the power of science behind this. We're putting plants out of work. Right. Basically.

Okay. Right. Because North Carolina only gets so much sun, and if the farms take it all, there's not enough for the dandelions. Ms. Mann said she had seen areas near solar panels where plants were brown and dead because they did not get enough sunlight. Were they under them? If they're under the panels, they're not getting the sunlight. Right.

I hate this woman. I hate these guys so much. She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her solar panels didn't cause cancer. Then she opened up a Diet Coke and drank it. I think we know what's going on. She lit a nice unfiltered cigarette. The cigarette smoked and drank a Diet Coke and then ate a piece of red meat.

But you can't tell her. No. How dare you? I will not tell her. The area around Woodland is a popular choice because it has an electrical substation allowing the panels to be hooked up to the National grid. The national grid.

We could be... A spokesman for Strata told the meeting, imagine having to say this, there are no negative impacts. A solar farm is a wonderful use for a property like this. That's not what I think. Then they had to add, to these other human beings, I can't believe this. the panels don't draw additional sunlight.

Hey dummy, what you said is dumb. That's what they're saying right there. Your dumb idea that your dumb mouth put out into this world is dumb. The council voted 3-1 against rezoning the land and later voted for a moratorium on future solar farms. They don't want any. a moratorium on future solar farms. They don't want any. Among the reasons they gave were that a growing solar industry

would harm the economy and reduce the value of homes in the area. How great would it be if a bunch of young people, so like you move, so now if I'm Amazon and I'm Jeff Bezos and I have all the money in the world, what you do is you wild, wild country this shit. You put a Google

plant there. Or an Amazon plant. Whatever. You put an Amazon plant there. And you put 40,000 employees there. And then they start to get on the board. And then everyone starts wearing purple. And then there's a sex cult. And Jane Mann just shrivels up

and turns brown. That's right. Jane Mann. Jane Mann and Bobby Mann. I've heard people in the area are shriveling up and turning brown. Chain Man. She can no longer use her fingers. I know that we don't get political adoptions, but this is why your city council matters. It matters on a municipal level. We're not getting political. We'll get local politics.

Right here. Just like, how great would it be if then they infiltrated the town of people who are wise thinking, and then they just completely do it it and it winds up benefiting the country. This is where you can use your – this is where money – That is actually interesting. That is where Bloomberg could put his money to definitely good use is just paying a group of 50,000 people who just move town to town year after year and register and just vote. And then infiltrate the – And then you don't need to gerrymander anything because you just put the people.

That's right. Infiltrate the local government. And they're just moving. That's their full-time job is they keep moving. Town movers. Here's the crazy thing though, Mo. There is a large swath of this country that thinks that's already happening. That people are coming in.

They just had the last year, or no, 2016 with the New Hampshire. There was those accounts of people coming from other states to vote. No one did that. No one did. But there are people that still believe that people voted in the New Hampshire parliament. But I think if they're believing it, we should do it. Why not do it if they're going to believe in it?

You can't tell me. If anyone starts a sentence with what you can't tell them. You can't tell me. Just be like, you can't. I'm not going to tell you anything. You can't listen to what we're going to say. Not a bad country music song lyric. You can't tell me.

You can't tell me that she's never coming back. You can't tell me that I don't want to work here. You can't tell me to put my dog to sleep. You can't tell me I can't park here. You can't tell me I can't park here is a great... I mean, after the country song I'm Getting Drunk on a Plane came out,

anything is possible. You can't tell me I can't hit the back of her seat. You can't tell me I can't live Republican and vote Democrat. You can't tell me I can't hit the back of her seat. Right. You can't tell me I can't live Republican and vote Democrat. You can't tell me I can't walk my dog. I mean, we are writing this song. It is just writing itself. Big and rich. And Dan and Ran and Jay.

Dan and Ran and Jay and Mo. There we go. All right, that's the show, you guys. Mo Rocca. Again, Mo Bitchuaries. If you love beautifully crafted wonderful stories then and i don't know how many people out there actually love those things i think lots of people i think you do well there's something beautiful happening in the world of podcasts there are
