Starting point is 00:03:57 that's going to make my life. Maybe you're a commie rat if you had an opinion of the dinner table. Is there anything funnier than calling your own kid a rat? Kids are rats.

You keep that mouth shut, and you leave the Zyrtec on the floor for the cats. So, all right, we are in Dumb People Town,
Starting point is 00:04:13 which is wonderful. The world's getting dumber, and we have stories to prove it. I actually have the first story, and normally we're on an iPad, but we printed these out for you because, Rachel, we're just so happy you're here. All right, and we'll get to what you have going on. An amazing special that we're going to encourage everyone. I'm very, so happy all right we'll get to what's what you have going on an amazing special that we're going to encourage very excited but we'll get to
Starting point is 00:04:29 that first we have a story sent in by our good friend matthew friedman at not your average matt thank you buddy this was sent in last november okay here is the claim and by this is the headline headline and there's a claim in the headline thief claims elon musk was controlling his mind when he stole from morrison's iceland aldi's and savers in margate have you ever been down to margate jersey shore jersey shore yes i've been to jersey okay is that three places or just one that he stole so i don't know what Iceland is. Maybe the Iceland is maybe like a... No idea. No idea. Maybe like a snow cone stand? Probably. Morrison's is like
Starting point is 00:05:10 Wait, is that like a Jewish deli? Is that a back doctor? Iceland. You put a lot of ice on it. Right. So he stole from all these places, but he said Elon Musk was in his brain controlling his mind telling him to do it. All right. Cause of the chip thing.
Starting point is 00:05:26 A prolific, is that it? First of all, I'm on his side so far. That's right. He could be right. He's like, look,
Starting point is 00:05:33 he got Elon Musk, got grimes to have a baby with him. That's right. Yeah. Grimes. And they named, and they named it. How fucked up would that be if Elon Musk was controlling your mind? And nobody's going to believe you.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I mean, yeah, that's, I mean, that's the thing you're trying to convince. This is a great movie. They're trying to convince people that Elon Musk is a prolific thief who swiped alcohol from shops, smashing bottles in one and downing wine in another claimed Elon Musk was controlling
Starting point is 00:05:57 his mind. He's definitely controlling mine. Right. Bold move, by the way, to steal wine and drink it on the spot. And pound wine? That's not really something you can do. That'd be like Winona Ryder standing in the closet. So far, he's a fun-loving guy. I love this.
Starting point is 00:06:10 I'll hang out with him. He's like the guy that gets kicked out of the party at an 80s movie and then he keeps coming back in through different entrances. He's like, yeah, me again, but I got a fish in my shirt. How did he come up through the toilet? Dan, what were you saying? I was going to ask, have any of you guys ever been in a party state where you were just drinking from the bottle?
Starting point is 00:06:27 Oh, yeah. Yeah. From a wine bottle? Champagne. Well, that's fun. Champagne is fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Straight from the bottle.
Starting point is 00:06:32 But wine from the bottle feels like. Wine from the bottle feels like it's in a paper bag and she's not coming back. Yeah, I'm not name dropping, but I drank strawberry boons out of this guy's backseat of his car because I come for money. And I was 16, dressed as a cowgirl on Halloween. I was 16. He was 43. And we drove all the way.
Starting point is 00:06:53 He was 43. I was molested. No, he was trying to hook up with my friend. I was just in the backseat of a cowgirl's costume drinking boons. Just a lonely cowgirl. And it was Halloween. And we just had this idea that we were going to go to New York City and come back
Starting point is 00:07:07 one day and instead we drank so much boons and then we got there he started tripping so he couldn't drive back and he decided that we should live in New York and like and like you should live in New York like what is society anyway what is high school and I'm like Howard Feinstein
Starting point is 00:07:23 is going to kick my ass. Can I tell you this? I think he was being controlled by Elon Musk. Yes! That's absolutely right! Elon Musk came up with a time machine, went back in time, controlled this guy's mind. I don't want to say it, but you're trying to get away from society and start a whole new way. Why are you going to Dixon?
Starting point is 00:07:39 It's like some commie rat shit to me. No, you're right. He was a commie rat. He was. He was absolutely a rat. Are you guys ready for the perfect name for this thief? Yes. I mean, this is a perfect name.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I feel like we all went to high school with this guy. Ricky Hodgkins. Oh, my God. That's too much. Oh, little Ricky. Little Ricky Hodgkins. I blame his mother. She was very overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:08:00 She smothered him. She was very domineering. And that's the only way he feels free is if he's doing like a whore crawl in a 7-Eleven and drinking wine out of the bottle did you hear what happened to little Ricky Hodgkin
Starting point is 00:08:10 what happened he stole from five stores oh my goodness he is from Margate now if you're from the Jersey Shore you grew up there this isn't where you vacation
Starting point is 00:08:19 you're from the Jersey Shore where's this in relation to Tom's River because my buddy lived there and that's where I've been is this south of Tom's River I don't know you would know better than me Margate is closer Tom's River is very close to Bar lived there and that's where I've been. Is it south of Tom's River? I don't know. You would know better than me.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Tom's River is very close to Barnegat because that's where my mother-in-law lives. Down ashore. What is his first name again? His name is Ricky Hodgkins. You know that there's another kid that she has to put all the focus on. She's like, my one son is a podiatrist. David is doing well. David is doing well. David is doing great.
Starting point is 00:08:47 When they say, how are your kids? She says, David is doing great. Dr. David. What is... Ricky is Ricky, but David is doing great. I saw Ricky with some Jaeger on his forehead in Tom's River last week. Oh, wow, he's going to be...
Starting point is 00:09:03 What's he doing? He's making shot week. Oh, wow. He's going to be. What's he doing? He's making shot glasses. Oh. Told magistrates the business tycoon inserted a chip into his brain. Which sent him into a chaotic crime spree around his hometown. I'm going to show you a picture of him. Okay. This is, and we'll show it right here, little Ricky Hodgkins.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Oh, that's too. Oh, he looks like a Nazi, he looks like a European villain. He looks like a little Nazi. He does. He looks like a John Early character. A little Aryan character here. He looks like the oldest kid from Home Improvement. He would make a suit out of my skin.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I'm terrified. He does look like a grown-up child star. Yeah, he totally does. Five stores, five shops in two days. Whoa. After breaking bottles in Morrison's, stuffing another one down his trousers, following his arrest. Trousers? Trousers.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And after his arrest, he initially refused responsibility. What? I didn't do that. What? Of course. What bottle? You made this guy so funny. What trousers?
Starting point is 00:09:58 Me? As he's smashing it? I would say that Ricky Hodgkin's and accountability have never hung out. Exactly. They're not familiar with each other right instead manifesting a story about mr moss controlling his bodily functions with the chip in his head but hodgkins who had previously had previous convictions for stealing so who was controlling you back then that was the vaccine that was the vaccine that was modern was sent it sentenced
Starting point is 00:10:19 at margate magistrate's court after pleading guilty to all five counts of theft the court heard last wednesday how he targeted morrison savers ic, and Aldi over a two-day spree. So, like, he planned this out ahead of time. Wait, they're saying stuff like magistrate and trouser. And that was before the booster. Is this in Iceland? I don't know. Maybe it is in Iceland.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I don't think so. Because he looks very Euro. I know. Prosecutor Terry Knox outlined Hodgkin's bizarre reason for having initially denied the crimes. I was informed that the basis of the defense was that at the age of four, he had a chip of some sort inserted in him. What the fuck? Okay, I don't know how old this kid is. And was being controlled by Elon Musk to commit these offenses.
Starting point is 00:10:58 This is the original hot chip challenge. Yeah, but what's Elon doing when this guy's four? Do you have pets? Do you have a dog or anything? No, I don't. I did growing up, but not now. Did you just kill cats with Zyrtec? Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I killed a cat. You put a chick. Oh, no. No, she's alive and well. She didn't eat my Zyrtec. I took it off the carpet and ate it myself. That's right. Hairy and all.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Okay, so the court heard Hodgkins went to Morrison's in college, in college walk, Margate at 5 p.m. and smashed two bottles of alcohol on the floor. Security guard followed him as he walked across to Iceland, picked up four cans of beer and went to leave. He put the cans down and said, I've got nothing on me. The security guard approached him and removed a bottle of wine he had stashed in his trousers. You can't say I've got nothing on me when you got a bottle
Starting point is 00:11:47 of wine. He was talking about money. Oh. He said I have nothing on me. I have no money. I got no cash. I got no cash. I can pay for this. You can pay for this. Lawyer explained Hodgkin's immediately made his way to discount store Savers where he then stole a bottle of wine and drank it on site.
Starting point is 00:12:04 You're not going to put that down your pants. Is this a new kind of Hodgkin's disease? This is. Stealing? He then moved on to the Aldi supermarket in Zion Place
Starting point is 00:12:11 and stuffed a further bottle down his trousers then left without paying. This is making me feel sorry for the guy with like the massive dick that just keeps getting accused of different crimes.
Starting point is 00:12:20 What? I swear it's just me. It's not me. I don't have a bottle. Last week we had a guy in here. Yeah, last week we had a guy in here and it was a bottle. You got it's just me. I don't have a bottle. Last week we had a guy in here. Yeah, last week we had a guy in here and it was a bottle. You gotta unzip it. Magistrates heard the following day. My grandmother said,
Starting point is 00:12:31 sometimes it's a bottle and sometimes it's a cock. You never know. It's just very difficult to tell. This is who? Your mom's mom or your dad's mom? Jessica Kirsten. Thank you. This is Rosalind Schneider. Everybody, pull your Thank you. This is Rosalind Schneider. Everybody, cool your erections
Starting point is 00:12:47 at home. Rosalind Schneider. That's so funny. Schneider. Rosalind Schneider has had the same haircut for 60 years. Oh, yes. Her and her sister Edith and Helen. Edith Schneider, Helen Schneider, and Rosalind Schneider. Never spoke. Never spoke
Starting point is 00:13:03 again. Oh, they didn't speak to each other. But they maintained the same haircut over what? An argument about somebody's dish at Hanukkah? No. That's right. Someone didn't bring the right dish. Rosalind Schneider threw a marvelous affair. Of course she did.
Starting point is 00:13:16 And then what happened? And it was this terrible twat, my sister Rita. Oh, God. She doesn't care about people. And she had insulted my... Her husband in the background. She doesn't care about people. And she had insulted her husband in the background. She doesn't care about people. Continue. Rosalind, continue. Continue. She doesn't care about anyone. He's got her back.
Starting point is 00:13:33 She was like, I made a brisket. It took seven hours. That's right. You gotta steep it in the juices. I had to steep it in the juices. In its own juices. It's gotta bathe in the juices. Rosalind, tell them. The blood comes out. It sits in its own juices. It's got to bathe in the juices. Rosalind, tell them. The blood comes out.
Starting point is 00:13:48 It sits in its own blood. Do you believe? You understand this? I said it was marvelous. It was served with shame and resentment. What did she do? For real, what happened? She had a few bites of it, and then she said,
Starting point is 00:14:01 something's off with the sauce. Something's off with the sauce? And I said, said bitch you're dead to me. I will not be attending your funeral. Oh my god. And that was it. And I wish that I was making this up that I was creative enough.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Something's off with the sauce. Something's off with the sauce. In front of all of my guests. And they didn't talk ever again? Never again. They wished death upon each other. They were both, and by the way,
Starting point is 00:14:29 my grandma was the most delightful woman I'd ever known, and Edith too, but they had the same voice and every time they would call, they were so much fun, you know, like my grandma would give me ice cream
Starting point is 00:14:38 for breakfast with sugar on it just to piss my mom off. Classic. And then we would go to the pool and then she would say, oh, my gosh, I still cannot believe what a terrible bitch to ruin such a marvelous affair. She'd tell you.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Jealousy, yes. And then they would both call my house, and they had the same voice. So Edith would be like, do you know who this is? No. And my mom would look at me like, just say it's my loved relative or something. Guys, you don't want your grandma to know that she's calling. Yes, my mom was always- By the way, the chutzpah for her to call your grandma's house,
Starting point is 00:15:11 was it your house? No, no, she would call my house when I was home. So you would talk to Edith. We both lived in Palo Alto within two miles from each other, but they would both take turns calling my house in Bethesda and both of them would say, do you know who this is? And then my mom would
Starting point is 00:15:25 look at me like just don't say the wrong name yeah oh my god if you said Rosalyn and it was Edith and vice versa you're like the woman day a gentle sundress I would not be alive what'd you say the woman with the best hair in the world that's right it's your auntie you know my favorite haircut all right would have been the answer. Thank you. Dan. All right, so Mr. Knox said Hodgkins has a long history with the courts
Starting point is 00:15:50 with how many thefts in these types of... How many has he had in the history? Are we including these five? Let's include these five. Long history. Jeez. Total, how many thefts? Is this guy gone and stole?
Starting point is 00:16:04 I'm going to go with a lucky 70. Okay, what do you think? I say 14. Okay, Daniel? I'll go 9. Get your answers in, Townies, because he has had 56 thefts. Oh, Rachel, you're right.
Starting point is 00:16:20 There with him. He initially appeared before the magistrates on July 28th when he pled not guilty to the five theft charges. Of course he pled not guilty. He has since been held on remand and his solicitor, Gemma Adams, told the court that he had decided to change his plea. The reason for the delay in this case is that previously Mr. Hodgkins pled not guilty. It's like him being like, what? I don't have anything on me.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Oh, wait. This bottle of wine down my pants. The psychiatric report was ordered to review him while he was on the well so he's claiming that elon musk put the chip in his head when he describes to doctors a chip that within his brain but it was not in their expert opinions credible that this would prevent him from being fit to stand trial so he was trying to say the chip means i'm insane you better put elon musk on trial which i would love to see that but after like 50 like first i was worried this guy's mental health problem maybe it does but after like 52 56 yeah i think he's just run out of excuses right these
Starting point is 00:17:15 are like like this time it was like before i thought it was free right they said i could have it like now he's gone on down the list of the excuses he's like they put a chip in me elon musk put it i want a radio contest this is every guy that's ever been caught cheating yeah just what i just uh but i i do have to say that um i thought two things when i heard that first of all i think the chip if it was the right one would really help me i feel like that's what i need it's like i need a system you need in my brain yeah this might be the system that lois wants for me like a chip could be good i i also was remembering that um i had a stalker that it's fine it's over so now i can uh whore it out on podcast but um i i had a stalker for a while who said that um i was that somebody needed to the military needed to open my brain um to find out how somebody could be so foul and that there was a chip in there directing me so
Starting point is 00:18:12 this is like reminding me a lot of her story and i wonder if she did her own writing what if your stalker was a woman it was a woman that i went to sleep away camp with no no and she was the hottest girl in my class i'll show you guys a picture after. Very hot. My brother, all the guys had a crush on her. They're like,
Starting point is 00:18:28 why couldn't she stalk me? Yeah, I know. Why could she say I had a chip in my brain? I don't know. I'm sorry. So she wanted the military, the military.
Starting point is 00:18:36 So we don't know which branch. I'll show you. I'm going to text you Army, Navy, Air Force Marines. They're amazing. She would call comedy clubs and complain about me saying that she was
Starting point is 00:18:44 a group of Germans that was attending the club and that I was very foul and smelled terrible and that the military needed to open up my brain. And then I was excreting. This is the word she used. Some sort of foul substance. And they were unable to enjoy the rest of the comedy show. She's called so many clubs to complain about my scent.
Starting point is 00:19:02 And then so when I finally had to like file a police report. This is insane. I know. It was so exhausting. This was like years of my life. And then when I figured out it was her, I was like, you gotta be kidding me. This lady? I wrote you a bus note.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I know. Oh, so there was a long time where you didn't know who was doing this? No, I didn't know who was doing it for a while. Then I figured it out. Like we had like. Where is this gal? I mean, she's. I don't know is the short answer but i mean she stopped like she moved on because i had to file several different things and then finally
Starting point is 00:19:33 and my brother like just to mess with me it was like he thought nobody cared by the way because she was a woman my husband's like but she's a girl i'm sure to be fine like you guys guys there was an astronaut that drove 500 miles in a diaper so like and she was before we like write her off before we write her off anyone can get a gun exactly and then so so um and my and then i told my dad who is a you know a prosecutor right like he was a work for the justice department i'm like dad you know and i said the name of the girl's talking to me oh i'm sure it'll be fine that's the one you had the playdates with like nobody cared I'm sure it'll be fine and then my brother said he was gonna get a sweatshirt
Starting point is 00:20:10 made with her mugshot on it that said I'm on oh I'm on side yeah sorry but he's gonna get a sweatshirt that's what he said like just to mess with me he designed the sweatshirt and showed me a picture like and it was like her mugshot he's like listen'm sorry, but we've talked.
Starting point is 00:20:26 She did make some good points about your scent. Some good points. That sounds like something your brother would do. This all sounds like something a brother would do. Would create. Call the guy and go, hey, listen, my sister's coming in. She smells awful. Be careful of her scent.

Starting point is 00:23:05 all the stuff that you've shot that then gets chopped up and put on social media. This is what I consistently say whenever I see a new bit of yours. I freaking love every premise you have. I'm like, your premises are so good. It's like the premise hooks us in as comedians. Then I'm like, all right,
Starting point is 00:23:22 how good of a joke teller are you? And they're so good. Premises are so hard hard to i think they're hard to figure out every single premise and it's because you've created just a wonderful character and your relationship with your husband i love it so much but i just every time i'm like oh i love this premise we both say that i go straight to the heart button every time i shoot shooting do you think it falls apart before the punchline no you're a great comic no we were saying so we've been doing this uh you know around the same amount of time ours we had a stand-up special we were trying to decide which one it was in 2009 i think that was one it aired our half hour and your half hour can somebody inform us in the comments we had the whole hour of the night on Comedy Central.
Starting point is 00:24:05 It was us and then you, or you and then us. I think it was, it was at the John Jay College. Is that where you recorded? Oh, yes, yes. The John Jay. Yeah, that was my first one.
Starting point is 00:24:14 2009. Okay, so then that's what it was because we did one earlier. We're older than you. But anyway, tell us about the new special because we want people to support. Where did you record?
Starting point is 00:24:22 So, Big Guy, I recorded in New York City. And it's, my husband gives me a lot of material. I mean, he just dumps it on my plate because he infuriates me. He gave me like, this isn't in the special, but he gave me like a $50 Amazon gift card when I was pregnant, I think for my birthday.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Here, you go shopping. Yeah, nothing says you're a blank slate in my mind like an Amazon gift card. Like that's what you give a super. And also that's something that you don't shop for. And you know there was a moment where he thought like 75 and then he was like, nah. What should we give the mailman for Christmas?
Starting point is 00:24:56 Amazon gift card. I'm literally at the register. I don't want to go back in the story. Grab one of these. Amazon. Starbucks or Amazon? That's at the register. That's an at the register your husband gave you an at the register gift at the register gift i talk about this in my special also but the not the amazon thing but the he loves costco like way more than me like when he would propose to my actually this isn't when he proposed to my dad uh to me he said he wanted to
Starting point is 00:25:22 ask my dad's permission first. Sure. I did that. And my dad's like the least protective guy. He was like, what? Sure. He's like, take her. Pete said that he offered to trade me for an older goat or something. He made some weird joke like that. Your dad made that joke?
Starting point is 00:25:37 Yeah. He was like, oh, yeah. I'm an older goat. It seems fair. But anyway, I was very touched that he wanted to do that because he's like the least romantic guy ever. And I was like, oh, that's kind of touched that he wanted to do that because he's like the least romantic guy ever. And I was like, oh, that's kind of nice that you wanted to ask my dad's permission. He's like, yeah, because you can get the new iPhone tax free at Costco in Delaware.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I'm like, you're not supposed to tell me that part. That's the part you leave out. Yeah. So that's why I wanted to go to Delaware. That's why I wanted to go because he wanted to get the iPhone tax free at Costco. And then two birds with one stone. I mean, you got to. That's exactly what he said.
Starting point is 00:26:04 By the way, I'm going to post that video because I took a video of him in the house saying he goes, two birds, one stone. Big guy, you got to... That's exactly what he said. By the way, I'm going to post that video because I took a video of him in the house saying, he goes, two birds, one stone. Huh, big guy? That's what he calls me. How many times am I going to be in Delaware? Huh, big guy? He calls you big guy.
Starting point is 00:26:16 And he follows me around the house brushing his mustache. He looks like a Scotland Yard detective. It's the most ludicrous mustache. He follows me around brushing it, eating sardines out of a can to infuriate me and singing to me Rachel Rachel they call me Rachel and then I'd be like she's my big guy yeah so that's his nickname for me which now named the special big guy and people always say they're always like is your husband like is it hard for him that you talk about him? I'm like, he loves it.
Starting point is 00:26:45 He loves it. He calls me big guy. Then he stands outside after and just like waits while people go. Is it difficult? He goes, you know, you roll with it. You're a hero. So he becomes like this like honorable guy in the eyes of the audience. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:01 He's doing this. But then also you're like, thank you for the material. Right. But it's also like, thank you for an an hour because every time he does things that are literally i don't have to write it it's that in let me just tell you what happened and that's like nine minutes and that's it i don't have to add things to it i mean like on our wedding day i was walking down the aisle and he goes bringing it i'm like no that's what you say to a running back bringing it yeah exactly that He can't compliment.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I heard that nine times at the NFL draft. That's right. Bringing it. I love that. But I love that he's a character. He himself is an original American classic. And he is himself and he is a character. And isn't that better to be in a relationship with someone?
Starting point is 00:27:43 For a comic. Yes. Especially. No, I mean, it's also, strangely enough, it's like, he's a fireman, and so they get the fact that we work these weird hours for very different reasons. He's got nine days a week that he's got to stay in. Exactly. So, like, oh, I might be working on Christmas.
Starting point is 00:27:58 He's working on Christmas. So we just, like, you know, switch shifts. Does he understand my job? Not particularly. Like, I don't know if he's watched many things I've done. He'll like be, I'll come home and he's like laughing. Like, like he and peel sketches for 10 years ago, but then he won't watch my own special.
Starting point is 00:28:12 It'll be really funny stuff he's laughing at, which makes it, it hurts even more because I can't like insult his taste. Of course, he has good taste. You do have good taste. Why aren't you watching my stuff? Does he think, I mean, can you make him laugh? Like when you guys are hanging out and whatnot, can you?
Starting point is 00:28:24 Yeah, when I trash him, he likes it. He likes it. He likes when you bust his balls. Like sometimes, like we were at a hotel once, and then he's like, we have like four minutes. Do you think we have time to have sex? And I was like, that's really romantic. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:28:33 And like afterwards, I was like, I go, you kind of phoned it in that time. He goes, that was awful, right? I'm like, yes. And he like high fives me. He's like, that was really bad, right? Like totally selfish. Give it to me.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Yeah. No, he thinks it's funny. He's like, we have four bad, right? Like totally selfish. Give it to me. Yeah. No, he thinks it's funny. We have four minutes. You think we have time? You're like, we'll have three minutes to spare. Exactly. He'll be like, after sex, he'll be like, good sesh, big guy. Good sesh, big guy.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Good sesh, big guy. That was solid. You should never be high fived after sex. I know. No, I'm always treated like a man in my own home. Yeah. Like I was pregnant and he's like, you got that? I'm like, no, I could use a little help right now yes like that's always he's always doing the lit the
Starting point is 00:29:09 littlest amount possible like i was on the way and he can't soothe so it's on the way to the hospital to give birth like having like i don't remember if i put this in the special i was puking i was puking on the side of the road my husband doesn't get out of the car he leans his dumb head out the car and he goes, you good? You good. I'm like, that's what you say to a stranger moving a couch. That you don't want to help.
Starting point is 00:29:31 You good? You good? Dan says that to strangers who are about to be in a fight. He sees two people about to get into a fight and Dan walks up and he's like, you good? You good? You good?
Starting point is 00:29:39 You good? Really? Yes. Dan will break up fights. What is he thinking behind that? That's fascinating. You good over here? Are we good over here? Are we good over here?
Starting point is 00:29:45 It's like, what? That's your husband to you as a human being is coming out of you. Essentially, as another person is coming out of a person. Are we good here? That's exactly my husband. Is she good? You're good? You all set?

Starting point is 00:32:21 yeah the whole time also I was that whore that left the door open you would get working there because you need to get a system all right the beloved pets were almost lost when they rushed out of the cafe in a shopping center in guangdong providence southeastern china i just want to say guangdong uh thank you for everybody how happy everybody guangdong tonight everybody have fun tonight uh staff reacted quickly and
Starting point is 00:32:46 managed to round them all up uh i'm not zigua video reported surveillance uh footage shows that the clearly delighted canines yeah they're having the time oh my god they're excited around the shopping center ignoring the calls of the cafe staff yeah when the dogs are out and the doors open forget it someone literally got to finally yell this in earnest. Who let the dogs out? Oh my God. The Baja men standing at the door like, let them go. Who?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Who? Who? Yeah, these dogs are freer than they've ever been. They're like covered in, they're doing lines. They're being themselves. Like three of them are getting a pedicure. They're being a pet-a-cure. A pedicure. That's the name of a good, that getting a pedicure. They're being a pet-a-cure. A pedicure.
Starting point is 00:33:25 That's the name of a good, that's a dog therapy. But all the people at the Chinese pedicure are all like white women. That's who's doing the pedicures in China. Please say Wang Dog a few more times. Because you said like you were trying, like you were tasting the word like a caramel or something. Wang Dog. Oh my God. I wish we had like a DJ that could word like a caramel or something. Wang Dong. Oh, my God. I wish we had like a DJ that could reloop that for us.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Wang Dong. Wang Dong. Okay. Wang Dong. It's a little redundant. Wang Dong rebates. All right. All the Huskies ran out of the cafe.
Starting point is 00:33:57 A member of the staff surnamed Huo told Ziguo Video, adding, it's very lucky they were found so soon. The incident happened on March 12th. Never forget where you were on 312. I will never forget where I was on 312. A lot of people say 312 was an inside job. We're finding out right now. It is an inside job. Someone from the staff left the door open.
Starting point is 00:34:12 When the owner visited her cafe and the Huskies became very excited. So she left the door open. Well, maybe it was the owner. The owner probably walked in, didn't shut the door. The Huskies haven't seen the owner in a while. Sounds like someone's trying to blame this on them. Oh, exactly. It was her fault.
Starting point is 00:34:28 She riled them up. Yeah, because that's not like a word from an article. Haven't seen the person in a while. Like, follow. Like, yeah. Isn't there a reporter on this? That feels a little. It doesn't feel like a real reporter.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Okay. A customer then arrived. And this person is throwing everyone under the bus. Okay. A customer then arrived but forgot to close the door, which was when the dogs made their bid for freedom. Staff immediately chased after the excited canines. I mean, even the dogs in China are like,
Starting point is 00:34:53 get me out of this place. I need to go. And one female employee ushered some back into the cafe while Huo scooped the rest up in his arms one by one. After a while, most of the huskies were found. Most? This is the laziest writing I've ever heard. I failed out of school.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I don't feel like I did. Our mom was a journalism teacher. Would you accept that? They're not saying most. She's saying no. You've got to go do your research and find out. She's nodding, but she's had two strokes, and that means no.
Starting point is 00:35:21 After a while, Huskies were found leaving a few intrepid mutts still enjoying their fun with a bit more effort. Well, eventually rounded them all up to quote unquote punish the disobedient Huskies. We gave them. Why are you punishing the dogs? It's the customer's fault.
Starting point is 00:35:34 We gave them delicious chicken legs. Oh, great. They choked. Many people on mainland social media were delighted by the story, according to the government who doesn't let them have opinions. Ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:35:44 It feels like the joy of pupils running out of school one person said while another one wrote the great carnival of huskies is that real someone needs to punch up these chinese people let's enjoy the great escape huskies said a third who wistfully looked out a window and dreamed of her own escape i added that oh my god it looks like so much fun how wonderful it would be if i met such a joyful escape another said okay that person is that into the line that is get me out of china someone like immediately after she made that comment they're like we'll take that passport we're making these jokes right now and i feel like as we're making this someone is banning our tiktok that's right okay uh Pet cafes have become increasingly popular in China, according to Zipfray Daily.

Starting point is 00:38:20 Okay. 20. Again, I'm going to say 20 dogs running a muck. How many dogs ran a muck in the shopping mall that some customer left the door open? Clearly it wasn't the worker who doesn't want to take credit for it. It was either the riling up of the owner
Starting point is 00:38:33 who showed back up combined with the customer. They hadn't seen the owner. They had seen her once. Crisp 10. Crisp 10, 20. What do you say, Daniel? Oh, wait. It's a pet store.

I'm always in trouble with him for something that I've done. He's always walking me around, making me answer for everything. Like, what was the plan here? When you first decided to do this?
Starting point is 00:45:40 Because it looks like you did that. What's the plan? Like, I need a system. I know. I always said I need a system. i need a system screaming and nobody thinks it's charming my therapist is always like it's charming i'm like alan you're the only one that thinks it's charming which by the way i know you're doing a character voice of your husband that is a spot-on impression that is how he does that is how he talks that's the thing he's like when i first met him i was like is this a cartoon like it's a ludicrous accent also his brother has no accent whatsoever how does this do you think he gets it
Starting point is 00:46:09 from the other fireman that he hangs out with his brother told me that's what i think the firehouse because his brother has no accent yeah and so imagine if your husband was spending this much time with like that that he had an accent like you think that this is not good that's how they come home so much dumber it's very bad wasn't that your bit about how like you don't have enough influence on him. He spends too much time with the whole crew of people. Yes. I'm like they in, in,
Starting point is 00:46:30 in the special I talk about, they undo everything. I have a complet like it's all the work you've done. Cause they give them, they pass out like pamphlets with utter horseshit in them. They did. I'm like Pete, there's no highway that's being built.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Like it's all, don't take anything Dino hands to you. If Dino hands it to you, go the opposite way. It's not true. And like my husband like believes all of the craziest things because they just come up with ideas together. When we were having our wedding, I swear to God, I'm not making this up.
Starting point is 00:47:00 I'll talk about it with my husband and post the story. I've mentioned trash about this. On our wedding, he got together with the firehouse. He decided that invitations were too expensive. He's like, it's a scam. It's all a scam. I'm like, whatever. It's a send out invitation.
Starting point is 00:47:13 You got to send out. It's a wedding. He's like, Anthony and I designed something. It is very high end. I can't imagine what it is. It is very tasteful. It had a skull and crossbones on like each corner. He's like, it's like a dark wedding, like a black wedding.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I'm like, this is one of the dumbest things my mind's even had to like approach in any way. No. Anthony and I. He worked on it for 16 hours and you're going to tell me that this isn't solid? I'm like, it is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my life. So whenever he asked you what your plan is, what was your intended plan of whatever you're doing in your life, just go show him the invitation. Oh, my God. Be like, this was your plan.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I think his house needs more calls. If I ask him about it, he's going to be like, it was good. It was very good. We send that out. That's a tight concept, big guy. People would have known what type of wedding it was going to be. You guys want to hear this? Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:01 A ball of human hair started by an Ohio salon owner before being turned over to Ripley's Believe It or Not broke a Guinness World Record. Steve Warden, owner of Blockers Salon. Not a great name for a hair salon. It was called Cock Blockers, but then that was blocked. Salon in Cambridge, Ohio said his son inspired him to start Hoss, the hairball using clippings from customers and the ball grew until it was large enough
Starting point is 00:48:29 to be featured by Ripley's Believe It or Not from there it was possibly going to go into a museum no one wants this. Nobody would go see it it was placed on Phil Spector's head and it was going to end there. The story of Hoss if you've named your hairball Hoss anything
Starting point is 00:48:44 wasn't over. Haas. Wasn't over. Your baby. However, as Ripley's partnered with Floyd's 99 Barbershop... I know it. It's where I take my son to get his hair cut. I've been there myself. It's a marvelous...
Starting point is 00:48:54 But they say here are chain of salons in Central Florida. That's where they started? Did they? They wanted to keep the hairball growing and took the ball to Orlando Comic Con and asked attendees... I mean, do you check that through? and took the ball to Orlando Comic-Con and asked attendees to donate their own hair clippings to help the ball grow to break to a Guinness World Record. Daniel, how do you take the ball?
Starting point is 00:49:12 How do you transport the ball? How do you transport the ball? Does this have to be in a glass case? Oh my God, somebody's taking a road trip with a hairball. Just kill yourself. If you're the person bringing a ball in a van across the country, I feel like you'd have to put it in the van at least as some kind of station. Look, I'll meet you outside at the loading dock with the ball.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Will you have the ball? Somewhere there's a serial killer being like, I don't have to be secretive about my trophies. Also, there's some bitch that has to stand in a museum and have a thoughtful expression. Right. By the way, someone should DNA test as Dan said, that ball. You're going to solve three cold cases. Oh my God. Haas was officially weighed in December,
Starting point is 00:49:50 breaking the record set by a Missouri barber, Henry Coffer, in 2014. Do you want to guess what the previous record in weight of pounds? How many pounds did the previous record ball? Hairball is light, but... How many have there been?
Starting point is 00:50:07 That's what I want to know. We're just covering two, thank God. Don't you like to be the guy who almost broke the record? Yeah. You just spent years of your life and you're like, I mean, my whole life... There's no dumber story in your life than you trying to get laid in a date being like, you know, I... Third heaviest hairball in the world. How many women in Coffer's life have said it's the hairball
Starting point is 00:50:23 or me? Henry Coffer in 2014 had his record broken by goddamn Steve Warden. Okay? So how big, how much do you think Henry Coffer's hairball in 2014 weighed? In pounds. Rachel, you're going last. 23 pounds. 23 from Randy.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Jay? 15 pounds. 15. 46. 46. Ring it up again. 167 pounds. Oh, Rachel! How does she do it up again. 167 pounds. Oh, Rachel.
Starting point is 00:50:45 How does she do it? Every time. I want to thank Gloria Steinem. All the feminists who made the hairball possible. Before me. My hair stylist, Marie. Before I make you guys guess the weight of the new record holding Haas, the hairball, I'm going to read you a quote from Steve Warden, owner of Blockers.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Quote, it actually has changed my life. I'm sure. I did it. Not your kids. What is this? Not your wife. Before the hairball, the divorce was hard on me. I'm joking.
Starting point is 00:51:17 I made that up. That was amazing. Quote, I did it. This is what he did say. I did it because of the love for my children and my future grandchildren. Easy. They're kids. They're not even married yet.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Because of this, they may not want to have children. I know. And just to show that, you know, if you have a crazy idea, don't worry about what people are thinking. Just do it. I say the opposite. If you've got a crazy idea, consider what other people are thinking about it. Workshop it. Talk to people about it.
Starting point is 00:51:41 idea. Consider what other people are talking about. Workshop it. Talk to people about it. So, how many pounds do you think Haas, the hairball, the new world record holder... You said the other one was 100 and what? 67 by Henry Coffin. Okay, so this beats it. So it's gotta be more than that. You're going last, Rachel. 179.
Starting point is 00:51:58 179 by Randy. 194. 194. 210. The official way to close out this show you better go watch Big Guy watch Big Guy if you don't watch
