Population you. Population dress for Liz. Roz dress for Liz. How are you? Welcome to Dumb People Town. Thank you for coming back to Dumb People Town. Oh my God. It's one of my favorite places to travel to. Right? We all sort of find ourselves here in this dumb world. You don't need a passport to come into Dumb People Town. No. You just show up. You don't need a vaccination. You get teleported there when you do dumb things right dan uh yeah and then you have to find your own way out it's more of a rite of passage i mean since the last time you were on this show do you

feel like the world has got even dumber i mean right yeah that's all it's also been so weird because i've been doing shows a lot now and it feels like so many people have forgotten how to be like in an audience for example yeah you know like we are all like relearning the most basic things right now and i do think it's leading to a lot of dumb people townness yes i agree damn what were you saying there was an article i think there was an article in the new york times something about talking about like restaurant workers which has had these reports of the dumbest, craziest patrons. People just asking like, idiot. Did you forget how to kindly ask for a napkin?

Oh my God, yeah. Well, we get dumb stories sent to us and we use our, hopefully, intellect to break down these dumb stories. And Dan has a story I think we should dive right in. Let's jump into it. We've got Roz here. Let's jump into it.

You ready for this? Yes. Yeah, give it to me. Sent in byah at shabbatra which i love s-h-a-b-a-t-r-a shabbatra when you speak hebrew dan i'm working on it okay here we go headline is this kind of all we would probably need to talk for the next 15 to 20 minutes. Let's do it. Let's do it. Redneck rave. Kentucky Music Fest descends into grizzly violence. First of all, just so everybody knows, there's not any grizzly violence that I remember.

But I mean, we don't do those. We don't get grizzly with our violence. Roz, would you expect anything less at a redneck rave? Oh, my God. I mean, yes. Bring on the Grizzlies. So what is the music? Different kind of bears, Roz. What is the music at a redneck rave?

Like, what is it? It's just the Devil Went Down to Georgia sped up. Or a lot of Carrie Underwood with like a Skrillex remix. All the house versions of all the country songs that we know. Yeah, a redneck rave yeah what is i didn't even know that that was a thing i wouldn't either damn there has to be like i guarantee you there is house music set to dolly parton songs like i guarantee you that that's already tanya tucker like yeah jolene jolene jolene Jolene I would dance to that right now

I would dance to that right now You had a house remix of Jolene I'm up out my seat Yes I'm square dancing on that shit Okay here we go This is the story A massive country music festival in Kentucky

Dubbed the Redneck Rave Billed as America's wildest and craziest country party okay you don't get more than one tagline by the way you don't get to call it that heck one right exactly you're either the wildest or the craziest even drag races have more self-reflexiveness yes um it says it's the wild america's wildest and craziest country party which sounds like every show on cmt even if that's still a network i don't know. Descended into violence and mass arrests, the Daily Beast reports. The five-day event organized by country rapper Justin Time.

Anybody here a Justin Time fan? Wait, are you making a face like you know Justin Time? No, but you know I come from the world of drag where pun names are highly regarded. All the rage. What's your favorite? That's a great one. That's a good one. What's your favorite one that you've ever seen?

I mean, obviously, yours is fantastic. But, like, what is your favorite one that you came across? Is there one that you came across? Oh, no. You're putting me on the spot. Oh, God. There are so many good ones out there. What are a few of the ones you love?

Oh, no. No, no, no. Let me come back to that. But I certainly know a lot of good pun drag. There was one in Chicago that I loved. It's very simple, but I just like the simplicity of it. She was Chica Gogo. Chica Gogo.

And we were in Chicago, and I was like, what a great... I loved her. How about Hedda Lettuce in New York? She used to host shows. Hedda Lettuce, legendary. She used to host shows at Caroline's with us back in the late 90s. That's how old we are. I mean, that is old. Oh, my God. Amazing. Hedda Lettuce, legendary. She used to host shows at Caroline's with us back in the late 90s. That's how old we are. Oh, my God.

Amazing. Hedda Lettuce was a legend. That's always a good one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just In Time is also the name of a kid's cartoon that my son used to watch. Oh, really? Yeah, Just In Time. Kid was named Justin.

He was a time-traveler. Kid's drag show. Country rapper. Wouldn't you just be a rapper? I mean- Country rapper. Right,huh. Wouldn't you just be a rapper? I mean... Country rapper. Right, but it's just you're a rapper. Like, your contacts might be things commonly found in country music.

Country is a sly way of saying white. Okay. The five-day event, as I said, organized by country rapper Justin Time, drew thousands to Blue Holler Off-Road Park over the weekend, more than doubling the population of the small town where it took place. If my kid was saying, I'm going to Blue Holler Off-Road Park, I'm like, turn your life touch on. You better have 360 on that phone.

Make your kid take an Apple Tile with them. The little things you put in your luggage. It's just like the insane clown posse family gathering the juggalos oh yes i saw a documentary on that those people really that's a whole culture nathan raven wrote a whole book about our friend you don't know me but you don't like me so our friend nathan raven who's a great author wrote about because he had never been to any gathering of the juggalos and he'd never been to any fish concerts. And so he knew nothing of either of those two scenes, and he went to both. And got deep into both cultures.

He was like, they are both insane. A lot of Faygo. A lot of family. Faygo and family, man. In addition to live music, the Redneck Rave featured a big football game, goldfish racing, which I hope involves the cracker, not the animal.

Goldfish racing. A demolition derby cracker, not the animal. Goldfish racing. A demolition derby. Dan, it involves a lot of crackers. If it's at this event. I'm going to ask all three of you. A demolition derby with how much of a purse? What was the prize if you won in money, in US dollars? Well, demolition

derbies used to be a thing. They're like, we're going to smash up all these cars. I've never been to one. Roz, have you ever been to a demolition derby? No, I have dollars. Well, demolition derbies used to be a thing. They're like, we're going to smash up all these cars. I've never been to one. Roz, have you ever been to a demolition derby? No, I have not. Neither have I. I've been to a roller derby, which is another great place for pun names. Yes, it is.

A great place for pun names. And lesbians. It's a lesbian haven, roller derby. That's right. I love that. Is that part of the lesbian culture? Yes, it is. Okay, how much do you guys think was the purse for the demolition derby

at the redneck rave you are a guest ross so you can go first tig which would be second or last wherever you want uh i would like to go last please okay okay jason i'm gonna say ten thousand dollars ten thousand dollars i'm gonna say something weird like sixty one hundred sixty one hundred dollars ross what do you think i'm going to say a coupon at Denny's for a dinner for two and also a case of Faygo Soda. Dude, I actually think that is. She's closer. She's the closest. What do you got, Dan?

The Demolition Derby had a purse of $5,000. What? I know. The demolition derby had a purse of $5,000. What? I know. Which is just how much it costs to fix the car you just demolished. You wouldn't bring one you'd fix, right? There are people who are so dumb at this thing. They would enter the car that they drove across the country to the festival. I could beat these guys.

This is like the Sturgis Festival. Roz, are you a festival person like will you do any sort of like music or five-day festival or any of that no coach definitely not um coach i don't like being out in the sun for too long i i like uh i recently got into conventions more i mean obviously pre-pandemic but like horror movie conventions are really i've done fun yeah yeah the people watching there i like to do like a scavenger hunt with my friends where it's like you have to find like a person with blood dripping from their ears yeah like we like go around and have to find that and then ask for a picture with it like that kind of thing is really fun for me so

fun that's great i love that idea, convention is almost like a festival, but with air conditioning. I have a question. Will you go to an out festival in another city? Jay and I were doing comedy in Salt Lake City. I don't know if we even talked about this with you last time. We were there, just happened to be there on Pride Week, and it was their festival.

It was so much fun like Jay and I saw the best drag show and in Salt Lake City it's like I guess they were just so there for it I'm like oh my God you guys your society represses you so hard that like you get this chance. And Randy and I got

recognized a lot and it felt really good. More than just with the yeah cause we were like wait this is awesome I didn't know we had so many people I recognized a lot, and it felt really good. More than just with the... More than just with like the... Yeah, because we were like, wait, this is awesome. I didn't know we had so many people in the gay community who knew us and liked us. And we're like, this is sweet.

You guys should get into the Pride Circuit. We should. I was like, I would perform at one of these. Everybody was so fun. Well, I don't want to bring it down, but at least one person died at the Redneck Rave last year. Oh, God. And this time, in preparation for the event... Now, I don't want to bring it down, but at least one person died at the Redneck Rave last year. Oh, God. And this time, in preparation for the event.

Now, I'm not hoping I don't want anybody to die, but something... Look, they died doing something they love. Exactly. There you go. On a mechanical bull. Great way to spin it. On a mechanical bull. Mechanical bull.

Local police set up a series of traffic checkpoints this year in preparation for all the craziness that's coming. This is great. From Sheriff Shane Doyle, which is the only name you would want for the cop working the redneck. What do you do? Right? The first vehicle is a quote. The first oil has never worn sunscreen. His life

the very first vehicle that came through. We found meth, marijuana, and an open alcohol container. Sheriff Shane Doyle told the Lexington Herald Ledger first to. First two I'm mad at. And then one of the occupants had two active warrants. We were like, well, this doesn't bode well for the weekend. That's your first car through the checkpoint at the Reddick.

Two active warrants and three open wounds. Sir, there's a knife in your arm and you cannot have meth on your person. And you're supposed to be 500 yards from your kids. What are you doing? Well, the cops were right because by the end of the five days of mud, music, and mayhem, as the redneck rave was advertised

as mud, music, and mayhem, how many people were charged with a crime? Is this a Trump rally, Dan? That's what I want to know. Raz, once again, where would you like to go in the order? Well, that's so... Are we counting the people at the checkpoints

or once they've already gotten through the checkpoints? I think they would even count checkpoints. Checkpoint through the mud and the mayhem. By the way, a great question. Because I'm almost like, is that a prerequisite to get in there that you have to have? Priors.

Warrants, priors. Look, young lady, you've got to commit some sort of aggravated assault before we let you in. I'm sorry, you're too clean. You can't get in here. Comment me with that bottle and then we'll let you in. That knife blade's way too small. How many people do you have?

I'm going to guess 37 crimes. 37. What do you think? I'm going to say 160. I'm going to guess 37 crimes. Okay. 37. I'm going to say 160. Okay. I'm going to say 230 people. Okay. We'll take a quick break.

When we come back, we will find out everything that Roz is up to, where you can follow her and keep up to date with her shows and everything. So hopefully the world continues to try and open back up. Agreed. And I will tell you how many people were charged with a crime during these days of mud, music, and mayhem. We'll be right back after this. Stick around. Make a sound.

There's more at Old People Town. Hey, guys. Welcome back to the show. Before we get back to the story, I want to say a couple things about what we're doing and then what Roz is doing so you can follow along. Daniel Van Kirk is out on tour. I am.

I said 37. I feel like I'm a little low. You might be right. I think I said 160. I said 230. Get your answers in now, Townies, because at the days of Mud, Music, Mayhem, Redneck, grave, five days of it,

there were 48 people charged. You were right! Nice! Very good. Crushing it. Thank you. I'm very proud of myself. Accept your award.

You know rednecks. You were on it. One attendee attempted to slit another's throat. A man had... Yikes. Please tell me this was over a giant turkey leg a woman was strangled unconscious over an argument about a blanket uh don't know if that could have who did that to her another man had been impaled by a log that broke through this broke through the side by side he was driving and someone else lost most of

his finger when he lifted a finger when a lifted vehicle slipped off a jack and onto his hand. Why are they working on cars? Oh, that's probably for the derby. Demolition derby. This to me sounds like everything you'd expect to see at the Redneck Rave. Guys, here's the next sentence in this article. Ross, listen to this.

After everything I just listed to you. Which is crazy. The very next sentence is, a second Redneck Rave is scheduled for October. No one cares. That's where I'll be. They need to have merch that's like, I lost my finger at the Redneck Rave. I lost my daughter at the Redneck Rave. I went to the Redneck Rave and all I got were these nine fingers.

Or no, I lost at the Redneck Rave a finger, my daughter, my virginity. My virginity. Just a bunch of things, a checklist of things that you lost uh quote we can definitely improve on a lot of things to make the one in october run a lot better just in time wrote in a facebook post so if you've ever had a show where you're like man a lot of that didn't go well we should really work on that go back to the drawing we should really get it up right away. It's better than the first redneck ring. Yeah. I just hate the word impaled.

Like somebody got impaled. I know. With a log. A log is like a blunt thing. Because once they get it out, just the splinters you still have. Oh, my God. The splinters are sometimes worse. I don't even like a splinter.

Hey, watch out for that log. Which one? The one you're driving into. If the log doesn't kill you, the COVID will. Because I guarantee you, no one is vaccinated. You guys are crazy. They're all vaxxed at the Redneck Rave. That person didn't die, right?

No, no, no. No one died this year. So, just in time is improving. It is. They're doing a good job. But who's the craziest of all? The people who go to this. Just in time for putting it on.

Just in time for making money. Or this town who says, yeah, we'll let you come back in four months. The town is the dumbest. Because the town is like we're inviting all this. The town is just a meth lab. Is there like a waiver that you have to sign before going in? It has to be. We don't blame the town.

Yeah, and we're not making the festival responsible. Absolutely. Redneck Rave. If you build it, they will burn it. we're not making the festival responsible. Absolutely. Redneck Rave. If you build it, they will burn it. Yes. That's the Redneck Rave. Oh, my God. Wait, and it's all run by this rapper, this country, Justin Pailed.

Justin Pailed. Or what's his name? Justin Pailed. I mean, Justin Time. Justin Pailed is a really good- That's my new favorite drag name. That's a great name. Justin Pailed. That is my new favorite drag name. That's a great tale. Justin Bale.

That is my new favorite drag name. I'm sorry. Justin Bale. But don't you feel like he's probably just the face of it? Like somewhere in the shadows, Ja Rule is helping out with this whole thing, right? This is a... It's got Fyre Fest vibes. Oh, my God. That's crazy.

The Redneck Rave is being run better than Fyre Fest. It is. That's true. At least they got it off the ground. Right. At least there was water right yeah as dirty as it was i'm sure um he said that he goes on to write we are listening to all your suggestions i imagine he's getting a lot of them oh yeah this was the biggest

event we've ever done and with as many people and random things that popped up unexpectedly i feel like we handled it pretty well. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. But what if this is really pretty well for them? What if they did handle it? No one died. Yeah, no one died. I mean, if someone dies and then you do this again and no one dies,

that is a success. You have improved. Right. Well, now no one can die. It's an improvement. It's not a lot of improvement, but it is some improvement. Right. And as long as they don't run out of mud i mean they're pretty much fulfilling their promises that's their greatest natural export right he added that the redneck rave was quote the coolest

thing i've ever seen in my life for people it probably was some would be mad about all these lies and over exaggerated headlines here we go but Here we go. Uh-oh. Fake news. But you know what they say? No such thing as bad publicity. I would say if people are getting their throat slit, choked out by blankets, impaled by logs, and fingers cut off, and you're saying that's an improvement, they're not exaggerating. These aren't rumors. And it is bad publicity.

That, I would say, is good press and bad publicity. Yes. Good coverage. Oh, could you imagine it being that newspaper where they're like, hey, you're the one. rumors and it is bad publicity that i would say is good press and bad publicity yes good coverage oh could you imagine it being that newspaper where they're like hey you're the one you're you're covering you're covering how much health insurance do i know all right but that is an appeal to some people like i've never i never have understood like mosh pits yeah like that kind of thing has never been for me but i know that that's like people hear that kind of stuff and they're like sounds good to me i know what i'm doing october whatever right there can't tell me to take a shower there i've heard people say like if they go to a mosh pit

and they aren't bruised or a black eye or they didn't get a bloody lip or anything that it was it sucked right they let they thrive on whatever but i learned this when i was a door guy for so many years at bars, and I've said it to you guys. I'll say it to Roz and everybody else. I always thought people got in fights, and then I found out there are some people that just want to get punched.

They want to get punched. They went out tonight to start an altercation because they don't even want to win. They want to get hit. Right. They want to feel something. So Roz is dead on there are people who are like oh it's a free-for-all and i might get beat up oh i'm in i'm in i'm in that's exciting to me i love it that's a craziness i'm gonna ask you guys this all right and then if you're our patreon member you uh get to hear a dumb story from ross has uh her own story she'll

to share with us just a short little quick bite afterwards but before before we do that, we'll end this by me asking the three of you, how many people attended the Redneck Rave? How many people do you think attended? 47 arrested. Yes. So how many people do you think attended it? Roz. I'm going to say it's smaller.

I'm going to say like 3,000. Okay. 3,000. Jay, what do you think? I'm going to say 10,000. 10,. 3,000. Jay, what do you think? I'm going to say 10,000. 10,000. Randy Sklar. God, this is really, I'm trying to think how many people would come to this sort of a thing.

I think like six grand, 6,000. 6,000. Okay. The total number of people estimated to be at the Redneck Rave before they do another one in October. And if any of our townies go to that. If you go to that, I want pictures. I want everything.

You can be your own patron. That's right. The amount of people is, and we'll leave you here, 20,000 people. Oh my God. Which I guess makes that number seem like pretty good. If only 47 got arrested,

that's a hell of a ratio there. There were more people at Woodstock and less arrests, but the original Woodstock, wow. Yeah, 20,000. I mean, there were more people at Woodstock and less arrests, but the original Woodstock book, wow. Yeah, 20,000. I mean, the location's pretty good, Kentucky. Everybody's coming from- And someone got on the mic and was like, don't put on the brown acid wash jeans.

It's gone bad. It's gone bad. There you go. That's an episode. Roz, Jess, Ralez, thank you for joining us on the episode. For Patreon fans, we're going to hear a great story from her on the other side of this, so join the Patreon so you can hear that and oh shit,
