It's a good show! Couldn't make this up. So listen to our podcast jam with co-host Armand Dan.
And Dirk, don't be a jerk.
Cause when the music gets the funny hits, we are gonna take you down.
Stick around, make a sound, hunger down, it's Dumb People Town.
Hey townies, welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town.
Population you. Population Crowder. Trey Crowder, welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town. Population you.
Population Crowder.
Trey Crowder, welcome to the show.
Hello, hello.
Thanks for having me.
I'm pumped to be here.
If ever a guest was uniquely positioned and uniquely, I feel like, bred for this show,
it is you, my friend.
I am sort of new to the Trey Crow train but i am 100 aboard i think you're
awesome dude you have a great perspective great comedian great point of view i loved you on real
time and i told you that and i thought you you came off great on that show and that's not easy
to do well i appreciate you guys saying that i mean i'm a so i was a you know like probably all
of us i was a big time comedy nerd and everything for most of my life i've been wanting to get into comedy for a long time and have been doing it for like eight years.
But I say all that just to say I'm also a huge fan of you guys.
I have been for a while.
Thanks, dude.
And thanks for having me and for saying that.
And as far as Bill Maher's show, yeah, it's weird.
We were talking a little bit off mic earlier about like as a comedian, you know, do you want to be funny?
Do you want to say, you know, get points across?
And I can tell you that as far as the producers of the show, like, what they tell you when you're getting ready to do it is the latter more so.
Get points across.
Yeah, that's what they told me.
They're like, you know, you're a comedian, right, but don't worry too much about jokes.
Just worry about the main points that you want to try to make or whatever.
And Bill will make it funny, and then you'll piggy piggyback on that and you guys had some great moments back and
forth having said that you know i thought of some jokes of course you did not but uh what a great
stage to put that out there and i think about i think about this show and again on this show
hi dan oh dan's here did you see dan. Did you see Dan? To your left.
Dan is always here.
The anchor.
On our left.
The anchor.
Dan Van Kirk's here.
And Dan, I think you will agree with us.
What I really love about this show is through the guests that we have on, we tend to get
a great perspective from men, women, black, white, older, younger.
It's been kind of a nice mix of people.
For sure. women black white older younger it's it's been kind of a nice mix of people but i don't think
we've had anybody you know speaking from like the center the heartland of this country and well
south south i mean dan you although rochelle i feel like we all probably have a lot of
there's a weird like southern dialect that works its way even into northern illinois really
i just more feel is rural right like it's a rural dialect and on that note i've felt like just from
touring the country and stuff and driving between big cities and various states like
you know there's a lot of similarities between like rural washington for example and you know
rural kentucky or rural t rural Kentucky or rural Tennessee or whatever.
Pacific Northwest.
Yeah, but I mean, what I love is again-
Meth is available everywhere.
People don't have teeth everywhere.
Well, we feel like the world's getting dumber,
and our only way to sort of combat that is through comedy.
And thank God we have our dumb ears on the ground
sending us stories in, and Dan's got one to start with.
Can I, real quick, on that note- You don't on the ground sending us stories in. And Dan's got one to start with. So can I real quick on that note.
You don't think the world's getting dumber.
I actually, I used to have a bit that I did for a long time that was all about how I didn't think the world was getting dumber.
But I ultimately, the conclusion ultimately drew, which I heard, I think Dan say in a recent episode, is that I don't think we're getting dumber.
It's that dumb people are way louder and their voice is way more like, you know, I used to
say a hundred years ago, stupid people couldn't even read and now they can tweet.
Yes.
You know, like that makes a huge difference.
Yeah.
They actually have, they've figured out, they've gotten smart enough to get their message out
there.
Right.
So we're hearing it.
Don't get me wrong though.
There's a lot of dumb, I just think that saying we're getting dumber, that means we're dumber
than people used to be. And like, y'all know how dumb people used to
be used to be really dumb but i feel that is todd that is todd glasses right but here's what i would
say i would say this i would say that we also have technology as a crutch right now sure which
allows you to be dumber you don't have to hold
facts that's true you don't have to know things you don't i know people who instead of reading
just go on twitter like we used to read books at night i talked to people and like across the board
to a person they're reading less books per year so i would i do that i wish i read more i wish i
so i think the dumb people are always going to be dumb. I just think the middle people are now sliding downward and sort of joining that group.
The thing is that technology allows you to create your bubble.
So if you want to stay ignorant or believe that the earth is flat,
you will be able to find your bubble of people that you all get to live in together
and say dumb things and no one calls you on it.
Whereas 35 years ago, if you were the dumb person
in whatever dumb town you lived in,
but if you were the dumb person in town
and you were like, Earth is flat.
Shut up, Helen. Yeah, everybody in town
was like, dude, come on.
Or it'd be like, kids, we're not going to his house for Halloween.
That dude's a goof. But the bubble that you're living in.
Now can create his bubble
and be on his page, his Facebook
page and be like, you guys
all think like me, right?
And they're like, heck yeah, we do.
You have a lot more support.
Well, the bubble that you're describing that the flat earthers live in is a flat bubble.
Oh, yeah.
Not even a round bubble.
They don't believe in bubbles.
That's right.
But they believe time is not a flat circle.
That's the weird thing.
They think time is a sphere.
That's the weirdest one to me, by the way.
The flat earthers.
Because my thing is when most of, crazy conspiracy theories, I can at
least kind of understand what they are saying the end game is.
Yes.
Or the rationale.
It's an explanation.
But with, like, flat earth, why?
I know.
What's the...
What are you fighting?
What's our globe heads?
What's our rationale for this lie?
They were lied to about something.
Now, maybe that was something very traumatic all the way
from like, dad will be back someday.
But whatever they were lied to
about, they now thought, well
I'm being lied to about everything.
They've committed to distrust
more than facts. It becomes a, you're calling
me wrong? And I think a lot of these stories
that we get are people who
lean into their wrongness
as if because they were told they were wrong.
We're leaning into their wrongness as a point of pride.
They didn't have a no guy. Do we have a thing?
Yeah. Actually, we don't have any stories.
I would just talk to Trey.
This was sent in by J. Melville
at quack79.
Q-W-A-C-K
79.
Which I always say, I hope that means
the first 78 quacks were taken.
And he's like, I gotta go here.
Went till he got it.
You think this guy's just into ducks or he's a shitty doctor?
Exactly.
One of many shitty doctors.
Born in 1979.
Chewigan, a Madison man, was arrested Monday night after crashing into a police cruiser
while intoxicated
and operating his van from the passenger seat.
That's a man with a plan.
They frown upon that.
They don't like that.
Well, the passenger seat operation of a vehicle is like someone who gets to the edge of a cliff
and is thinking, I can jump into like a quarry or something.
I can do that.
And then they get up there
and they realize it's a lot farther away
than they thought it was.
But now you're stuck.
They got one foot over.
I wanted to ask you guys,
do you remember the first time
a friend or family member asked you to take the wheel?
Like while they were driving,
like on a road trip,
like take the wheel really quick.
Yes.
And you're
like yeah i mean i remember as a kid yes my mom would be like i need you to hold the wheel for a
second who's your mom britney spears what i'm not in her lap okay well that's what i was about to
say like i had this one particular pap paul who was a truck driver you know or you know well he
was a drinker and a whore banger but he he also drove a truck. Sure. I mean, I would expect all three together.
Triple threat.
Right.
And so I would imagine it was probably in his lap because he couldn't handle both the
cigarette, you know, and whatever else.
And I was probably seriously six or seven.
No, not a truck.
He had a big Lincoln town car that spontaneously combusted later, by the way.
Did it really?
That's true.
Jesus.
Well, spontaneous according to, you know, a grandpa. So he says. Spontaneously combusted later, by the way. Did it really? That's true. Jesus. Well, spontaneous according to my grandpa.
So he says.
Spontaneously combusted.
So I don't remember.
I assume because it was pretty young.
Later on in life, you had a friend who was like, take the wheel while you...
Yeah, or like I imagine people do that all the time.
Like somebody just, I got to get something in my purse.
Yeah.
You know.
Yeah.
Take the wheel.
So this guy's plan was, I'm not driving.
So you're going to give the DUI to a ghost?
He thinks he's immune to any penalties just because he's in the passenger seat.
Because what he could have said to himself, the cop pulls me over, and now I'm just sitting in the passenger seat.
You didn't see him?
He ran out.
Took off.
I'm just sitting in the passenger seat.
Driver, you didn't see him?
No.
He ran out.
Took off.
Shoegan Police Chief David Bucknum said around 11.30 p.m. Monday. That's a great police name.
David Bucknum.
You know he goes by DB.
Yeah.
DB is delight.
Yeah.
Bend it like Bucknum.
He said 11.30 p.m. Monday, a Shoegan officer was conducting a routine traffic enforcement
on Waterville Road.
The officer noticed a van with its taillights out and attempted to stop it.
This is always what gets people pulled over.
I used to be a door guy in downtown, and I would just see car after car leave parking lots with their lights off.
And I'm like, you're just...
Oh, you're inviting.
You're asking.
You're inviting the cops to pull over.
I'm not happy you're driving anyway, but turn your lights on.
Wait, the taillights were off, meaning that the whole car's lights were off.
Probably, but he was probably from behind, so he just saw the taillights.
The officer noticed the van with his taillights out and attempted to stop it.
Who can drive at night?
I know.
It sounds like on some backcountry road or whatever.
If you're driving at night with no lights from the passenger seat, this is not the first time you've done it.
Oh, you're like, I can do it.
Yeah, you've gotten home this way before where people are like, you're not leaving.
You're like, I'm not really driving.
I'm fine.
I know these roads like the back of my hand, but it's fine.
From the passenger seat.
Tell me I can't drive from the passenger seat in the dark with no lights all the way.
God damn it.
No one's telling you that you can't do that.
Tell me I can't.
Tell me I can't.
And literally, he can't see the back of his hand.
He cannot see it.
You own this bar.
You're the only person left here.
Tell me I don't own this bar.
You're alone.
No one's disputing it.
So the police officer notices the taillights out, attempts to stop it, but the driver accelerated.
So he's not even...
He's in the right in his mind.
The driver turned the van into the New Balance outlet building,
which is a one-way entrance.
So it's like a New Balance shoe outlet?
Yes.
What's so funny is that he's got a New Balance in his life.
It's a misbalance.
New Unbalance.
Well, remember when they said that New Balance balance was like the shoe of the neo-nazis shoe of white supremacists oh that came
up yeah no that was a thing yeah i'm gonna google it and see if i can find what that was balance was
like it's gonna take you down i don't know i think it was just dig them yeah okay all right so you
don't see a lot of black people wearing new balance it's like red laces you see so many red laces that do not talk are you serious yeah but that's like a thing though
right isn't that the laces are like they gotta earn those it's like earning your stripes you
gotta earn your laces shit in neo-nazi world if you have red laces that means it's like being made
yes whatever is yeah see the movie watch the movie green. That's how I know it too.
That movie is fucking intense.
Is it going to make me so mad?
No, it'll scare you.
Maybe it crushes it though
from Arrested Development.
It crushes it.
There is a Washington Post article
Washington Post, which most people consider
fake news.
Neo-Nzis have declared
New Balance
the official shoes
of white people
so they're not
neo-nazi shoes
it's just neo-nazis
claim them
right
the shoes of white people
they could have said
you know
we could take them back
mash the official sitcom
of white people
and no one would argue
do they have like a
press conference or something
or put a memo out
or whatever
I mean
if you're New Balance
and you see that headline you're new balance and then
you see that headline you're like oh no that's by the way if i'm new balance i'm getting a pair of
those on like usain bolt immediately yeah yeah they will pay you to wear them thon maker yes
i'm getting like the blackest dude in the nba to wear them immediately the driver of the van turned
into the new balance outlet building which is a one-way entrance. Of course. The officer then went to the other entrance
to stop the van.
So that's like when your kid or your nephew
or somebody runs one way,
and you're like,
I'm just going to go the other way.
I'm going to go to the kitchen.
Head them off at the pass, man.
So this cop...
This is some smoking in the bandage.
It is, yeah.
This cop was like,
mm-mm, we're just going to go...
I know where you're ending up.
I know where you're ending up.
And you know the guy, when he drove into the one way, the other way, and saw the cop go the other way.
He's like, I lost him.
Free and clear.
I gave up.
Jason, I don't want to skip over the gem you just gave.
Because that could be a t-shirt or the motto of every cop.
I know where you're ending up.
I know where you're ending up.
Dumb people town.
I know where you're ending up.
The officer went to the other entrance to stop the van.
Coming up to the van, the officer noticed the only occupant was a male in the passenger seat
holding the wheel with his left hand and waving his right hand.
I hope that means he was like, I'm going through.
Move out of the way.
Hey, I see you.
I'm still going though. If you're going to drive for the passenger, you have to let go of the way. Everything's good. Hey, I see you. I'm still going, though.
If you're going to drive for the passenger, you have to go with the wheel when the cops show up.
That's your only, I don't know what's happening.
It's moving in this part?
Yes.
It's still moving.
It's still moving.
He's over there waving.
I'm hoping waving him off.
You're in the way.
You don't understand.
I need clear.
That's an extra.
I'm going through the exit.
You're the wrong here.
Well, he's going out the way you're supposed to come in.
The vehicle continued towards the officer and struck the driver's side door and front corner panel of the police vehicle.
The driver of the van was identified as Rex Hinternen.
Yeah.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Like the Hinternernan boys.
That is something that we all know in our county.
You've got to throw a Dem in there.
Every girl.
Dem Hinnernan boys.
Dem Hinnernan boys.
They're no good.
They're no bad news.
Everybody knows it.
Keep your daughters away.
The youngest one's sweet, but he's going to get screwed up, too.
He's a little slow, but I like him.
Rex Hinnernan of Madison.
I don't know why we gave him a Southern dialect.
And their father is definitely Old Man Hinnernan of Madison. I don't know. So I don't know why we gave him a Southern High. By the way, and their father is definitely Old Man Hinnernan.
Oh, 100%.
Don't get an Old Man Hinnernan.
He has an on-reserve spot at the flea market.
He's definitely beaten up a cow.
He's thrown giant boulders at dogs that pee on his lawn.
Police questioned Hinnernanan who said that this is where
his plan you're gonna hear in here police questioned rex hinernan who said that another
man had been driving the van oh but he didn't know who the man was okay and that the man had
gotten out of the vehicle and taken off running hinernan said he wasn't driving because he didn't
have a license.
Okay.
I hope all of this was delivered to a police officer before the cops said a word.
Yeah.
Like, all right, hold up now.
Here's what happened. With like no periods.
Just all one sentence.
Not even a breath.
I didn't know the driver.
Someone's driving.
A guy got in.
I do not know.
And then he jumped out and then he went running and I can't drive because I don't have a license.
That's why I'm over here.
Thank God you showed up. Sir, I just asked you your name rex rex
yeah no rh yeah all right old rh yeah so he had this whole plan and then he's like it's not me i
got i can't even be driving thank you officer thank much. Now, I wonder at what point, you know, he hatched that scheme in his head and also the execution of it.
I mean, he had to pull at least that part off fairly efficiently because he didn't wreck until the end.
He got all the way over there.
You're asking, did he hatch that excuse as he was driving from the passenger side?
Right.
Or did he have that excuse in his brain and said, I want to see if i can drive from the passenger side and if anyone asked me this is my
excuse no i mean like he's driving down the road drunk with no lights on because you know some some
bitch told him he couldn't or whatever he's established all that right and then the cops
show up and now it's you know let me jump to the other now it's a it's a problem but it's all right
because rex got a. I have a solution.
That's what I'm wondering.
He drove long enough to have a conversation with someone who was yelling at him about what he was doing,
and his answer to all their questions built his story.
What are you doing in the passenger seat?
Who's driving?
A man.
Do you know him?
No.
Where is he now?
He jumped out.
Run away.
You shouldn't be driving. I know. Are your headlights him? No. Where is he now? He jumped out. Run away. You shouldn't be driving.
I know.
Are your headlights on?
No.
Headlights freeze the deer.
You're less likely to hit a deer if your lights are off.
I tried to tell somebody to turn the headlights on.
You think I can reach the headlights from here?
He's crazy.
I'm doing the best I can just to keep this thing on the road.
He's like the guy who fixes the porch not knowing how to fix a porch, but just the way he thinks it could be fixed.
Oh, yes.
And then it collapses on like four dogs.
With the wood you have available.
Right.
That wood's rotten on the inside.
Do you think he sees himself in his brain or in the best possible case as like a country sully?
He's like, I'm trying to land this plane.
You know what I mean?
I'm going to land this plane and make sure everybody's safe.
And he wants him to run it back like they do in the movie.
Run it back.
See if you can do a simulation.
See if you can do a simulation and then arrest me.
They do it.
He's like, you weren't planning for knowing the guy would jump out.
I didn't know he'd jump out.
Yeah, it's different.
He had folks holes in there.
When you know he's going to jump out.
This guy's a wild card.
I'm trying to tell you guys.
No lights.
Jumped out of the car.
By the way, I'm trying to tell you guys is probably something he said about 11 times.
I'm trying to tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.

I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys.
I'll tell you guys. I'll help find him. I want Trey Crowder to be the voice of every
guy who's just, I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you.
I've been the voice of that guy.
Chief Bucknam said
they called in a state police.
They called in state police to have
a dog come smell the car.
Now I know what they're inferring.
But just having a dog come
smell this car is not what you need state police for.
To me, smell this ride would be if Exhibit's dog came to your car and said,
we're going to do a show on animal...
Yeah, you deputize Exhibit, and then any time you need a search and seizure warrant,
smell this ride.
That show on Animal Planet, Exhibit's dog smelling...
Smell this ride! I'd watch that show. That show on Animal Planet exhibits dogs smelling.
Smell this ride.
I'd watch that show.
That also needs to be the title of this episode.
Smell my ride.
So that's how it's actually written in this article.
Chief Bucknum said they called in state police to have a dog come smell the car.
Police were able to determine that Hinnernent, was the only occupant in the van.
Now, how can they determine that?
Well, the dog.
Maybe that's what he was there for. There's no one else been in this car.
The dog's sniffing every seat for another scent.
Ready for another weird wrinkle in this dumb story?
Rex Hinternent also had two different license plates attached to the van
one ending in 320 the other ending in 321 i'm gonna confuse them well one of them was his one
of them was the driver's yeah he's gone now first of all how does he get license plates in succession
that's and then with a screwdriver yes and then why does he have two plates on his van?
I don't know.
It's unreal.
I've never seen a car with two.
Never.
Uh-uh.
In all of my years on this planet, I've seen a car with two plates.
Unless, and this is like the height of doubt.
Go there.
Dig deep.
When they send you license plates, they come stacked on top of each other, but they wouldn't
be different.
Right.
They'd be the same.
They'd be the same.
All right. That goes out the window. You know what that goes out the window though you tried i was trying to help
like and he thought there was only one and so he nailed him he screwed him up back into the back
but like they wouldn't be different no that's a tough one i can't even come up with like a right
like a dumb person ration there was one underneath that just said there were two on his car there
might have been one different on the front and one on the back so my guess is what he would probably
be thinking would be if i get busted again for drinking i'm just going to switch plates to the
other plate and then they won't seats and switch seats if i start out with both of them on there
that's half the work right when i get caught all i gotta do is take it off so the next time he's in
one of the bucket seats in the back, foot up through the front.
So he's all about solutions.
This guy's like, I got a solution for everything.
This man is a contingency.
Yes.
Contingency Rex.
This is really what happened. Somebody said, you can't drive home.
You don't have a license.
He said, I won't be driving.
Right.
Yeah.
I will be, but I won't be.
I'm not two, by the way.
And if they catch you, you're done. No, I'm not. not like he's got an answer for every single thing no he's working really hard
to get out of it hinern was arrested on charges of unlawful possession of scheduled drugs
attaching false plates operating under the influence and operating after revocation of course
now here's where this story takes another weird turn.
For no reason, this is what's written in this article.
Like, he has, like, an endangered alligator in the van or something like that.
It was a busy Monday for Showegan police, as earlier in that same day, they were lead
on an hour-and-a-half-long chase trying to catch a 600-pound bull that had escaped its
trailer.
Okay.
So they were led on a, how long of a chase?
Hour-and-a-half. Hour-and-a they were led on a how long of a chase? Hour and a half.
Hour and a half chase by a bull. Of a bull.
They were chasing a bull that had escaped its trailer.
The bull ultimately ended up in the
Kennebec River. So when we did
our first day of shooting on the
movie Wild Hogs, the first day was
the scene where
John Twelton goes over and slaps a bull.
We're in that scene.
And then the bull goes crazy and then it like flips him up in the air.
You're like on the bullpen, right?
We're standing on the fence.
It flips Martin like up on the, I don't know who it flips out there.
Whatever.
So they have to have like three or four bulls just there because they might swap one out if one's not working and they have all the bull handlers.
So this is a scene with like a bunch of crew a bunch
of animal handlers and everything a bunch of meds right and we we pull up to the area of where all
the trailers are and we see a bull running loose it's it has gotten out of its pen no this is our
very first day first first minute we pull up in our car and we're already nervous because you're doing scenes
with all these people
and we pull up in the car
and there's a bull running loose
and he took a,
he went into,
he like rammed into the side of a trailer
like he was going to go hit it.
Like with a bull,
like rammed into it
and then went on.
That was like one of the scariest things
I've ever seen is a bull,
like I can understand.
Yeah, because you see raw power.
Yes, I can understand how they would be afraid.
And you're like, nobody can control this.
That's how people feel about Rex.
Right.
Have any of you ridden a bull?
No.
Mechanical.
Yeah, me too.
Mechanical.
I've been up on a mechanical.
I want to ride a live bull someday.
Dan, no you don't.
That would be a no for me, though.
Dude, just to feel like who knows what's going to happen.
This is just...
I know what's going to happen.
I'll break your neck.
You could die.
I will wear every piece of safety equipment.
You can't save your neck if you fall on it.
You wouldn't do it.
No.
No.
Oh, man, I would do it in a heartbeat.
No way.
I did a...
Josh Wolf has this show on Twitch now that I did the other day with Burt Crasher, and
he told this whole story about getting gored by...
Burt told the story. Oh, okay. Burt Crasher story oh kreischer he told the story it's very odd yeah but we'll go with
you on that where he got gored by a bull basically but one would like for a tv show that he was on
broke his ribs and everything else and uh but was he trying to write it or just mess with it
and he had a guy on the set that was explaining to him how to mess with the bull He was trying to mess with it. He was just trying to mess with it. And he had a guy on the set that was explaining to him
how to mess with the bull.
He was like, try to avoid the front part.
Go for his armpit.
I was just like, where'd you find it?
This was actually Rex Hennerman was the
bull advisor on the show.
Sit in the other seat.
You mess with a bull, you're gonna
get the horns. That's just the way it goes.
So the 600-pound bull escaped its trailer,
and then they just said the bull ultimately ended up in the Kennebuk River.
Now I'm going to ask you guys, how old is Rex Hinternen?
Trey Crowder, you are our guest.
You can go first, Tigger, third.
What spots do you want?
Tigger's in the middle slide.
Okay, I mean, his name's Rex.
He's clearly got a lot of life experience, I think.
He's got solutions.
He's got contingencies for every possible scenario.
So he's been in those scenarios before.
Right, he's been through some shit, I think.
Rex makes you either go old guy or family name.
Right.
Yeah.
I'm going to say 48.
48 years old from Trey Connery.
Jason and Randy?
Let me ask you, did you think that that's old or young?
If you had 48.
I just feel like Rex Hennerton ain't going to make it much past 60.
So it's old for them Hennerton boys is what I'm saying.
Them Hennerton boys.
He's right about that.
I like your logic, and I was thinking in the same way.
As I'm seeing him, he has a total full white head of hair, white goatee.
I think he's 55.
I mean, that's...
Okay.
I agree with you that there's no way he lives to 60.
I think he's 29 years old.
29 years old.
I just think he's 29, full of like, I can do this.
He's not married, but he's got a few kids
from different
people. He's been engaged
for a day. He's been engaged
for a while. He's been engaged
to be engaged. Sure.
He's that guy. Promise rings.
Okay, everybody, all of our townies,
play along at home or your car or wherever
you're at. Get your answers in now because
damn Rick's
Henningen boy
is
62 years old.
Oh,
damn.
I took it a little bit
farther.
I felt it.
I was with you
and I,
you know what?
Yeah,
but I,
you didn't think
he lived past 60.
That's what I said.
I was as wrong
as you can be
because I said
he ain't making it past 60.
He's like,
I'm on gravy time.
You know what it is?
Tell me I won't live past 60.
Tell me I can't drive past 60. You know what?
He had a solution for that.
He did.
He had a solution for living past 60.
He's literally sitting in the passenger seat of life right now.
He is.
And just driving until he gets caught.
Did any of you guys ever see that?
It was a video that was viral at least 10 or more years ago but it was where this uh police
department in some like some city like not a small town like let's say milwaukee or something
for a training exercise we're filming a dui stop of this old very drunk black dude who ended up
getting and i was totally with him by the way by the end of it because because it's a training
exercise they're really just going through checking every single thing yeah with him by the way by the end of it because it's a training exercise they're really just
checking every single thing
and so by the end of it he's literally
holding his hands up there and he's going fuck the shit
take me to jail
fuck the goddamn shit
fuck the shit
you guys know what I'm talking about?
no I've never seen that
he had the same
almost the same excuse except he was in the driver's, but he said that a person was in his lap.
Driving.
Driving, and they dove out before they pulled him over.
That's called the DUI elf.
The DUI elf jumped out of my lap, out the window.
We all know the DUI elf.
We're riding tandem.
You don't understand.
I thought we were a team.
All I did was accelerate.
If we were parachuting, the driver on my lap pulled the cord.
I just was along for the ride.
You want to talk about team?
Talk to Jan Flato.
That's the first story down in the book.
Trey Crowder is with us.
We'll talk about his awesome tour, the well-read tour, and his book coming up right on the other side of this break.
Stay with us.
Hey, guys, welcome back to Dumb People Town.
Our guest is Trey Crowder.
He is on a great comedy tour.
If they come to your town, the Well-Read Comedy Tour.
R-E-D.
R-E-D, yeah.
As in Red State.
Or Well-Redneck.
Well-Redneck or Red, there you go.
And that's the way you really – it's so interesting.
I want you to kind of talk about how you formulated your point of view almost.
It's kind of – I love that it's sort of – it's come from within more than being influenced by the outside, which I love.
Yeah.
So I grew up in this little town in Tennessee called Salina up near the Kentucky border.
But it's two and a half hours away from any city that any of y'all have heard of.
Two and a half hours from Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, all of them.
Right.
And no stoplights, no Walmarts.
I mean, it's very rural, very small.
And so just by nature of that, growing up there, I always just considered myself a redneck
like everybody else.
I knew we were all rednecks.
That's who lived there is rednecks, which is true.
Right.
And so I just, you know, just always sort of viewed myself as a redneck,
but I've also always had a huge chip on my shoulder about like, you know,
just because I'm from there and I sound like this,
that don't mean that I'm an idiot or that I hate people.
You know what I mean?
That I'm a bigot or whatever.
Because I never was those things.
And so I just always,
once I started doing comedy,
which like I said earlier,
I was a comedy nerd.
I'd thought about it and wanted to do it for so long.
And by the time I started doing it,
I was just, again, automatically,
just because of all of that in my background,
that's the type of thing
that I was talking about from the beginning.
But that's the most personal thing to you.
And we talk about this in comedy all the time.
As Dan is developing into a wonderful stand-up comedian, he's doing material that is honest and only things that Dan can do.
Like his story.
I mean, and we can say this because Dan has seen other comedians on a smaller bit.
You saw a bigger comedian on a talk
show yeah do a version of what you had done it was the exact same premise okay same thing happened
to us by the way yeah with actually bill maher on a bit that we had been doing and you gotta in the
first moment you get upset and you go okay okay that feels how did that happen and then the next
moment you go well maybe that wasn't specific enough if that person can do that bit too then maybe what right maybe i can do something that's
closer to you the goal is to create a set of material that no other human can do right you
have clearly done it dan you are doing it as well you guys obviously been doing it for a long time
i just like the that you you know your parents probably probably raised you in such a way that
they're like you know don't don, it is literally how you get raised.
Yeah.
I mean, a lot of times.
Or you rebel against the way you were raised.
So like with me, it was the way that I was raised pretty much because I was raised almost
entirely by my dad, a single father.
And my dad was, my dad, he has, he had one sibling, my uncle Tim and my uncle Tim is
gay.
And my dad told me that when I was probably eight or nine.
And he told me because he knew I was going to start.
And when he told me, I didn't know what gay meant, any of that.
He explained all that to me at that age because he knew that I was going to start hearing shit.
You know what I mean?
About your uncle?
Yeah.
Or just gay people in general.
But also my uncle because again small
town so everybody knew so just all of that so he explained it to me and uh but of course you know
i didn't care i was just like okay fine that's just as a kid yeah because i'm always super close
to my uncle tim and i still am right and him and my dad were always very close too so how crazy is
it that i feel like it had to be that he had one sibling. Right. You know what I mean?
Just having that one sibling is right.
He's all you got.
Because if you've got a bunch of siblings, you can be like, I don't know if I can connect with you.
I don't know if I have to connect with you.
This is making me uncomfortable and whatnot.
Right.
And even with like my grandparents, so their parents, like my grandpa on that side was, mean in almost every way a very stereotypical
Clay County Tennessee you know old boy a feller but he my my uncle and his partner were
you know at every birthday every Thanksgiving dinner every Christmas all this stuff my whole
life yeah right and so that is the example by which that opens the door for everything that you're doing.
Yeah, no, for sure.
That's what I've always, and I never thought about all that for a long time until I got
older and realized that it was like, you know, not the norm.
And then I started like processing it.
And I realized that I think that that is the primary thing.
Because see, that also took me out of the church because the church that I think that that is the primary thing. Because, see, that also took me out of the church
because the church that I had gone to as a kid
was very stereotypically fire and brimstone
about the evils of homosexuality or whatever,
which had no impact on me until I knew.
I didn't, you know what I mean?
That all went over my head.
But then once it became real in your life,
you're like, how do I reconcile?
They're talking about this guy?
Right, well, that's what I'm saying.
I don't mean to say that before before that i heard it and was just like
totally fine with it it was more like i was a kid it just right it i didn't it didn't land with me
but then once i knew that about my uncle and i started picking up on some of that stuff
immediately i was just like well fuck all that yeah exactly like and so i you know i told my dad
i don't think i want to go to church anymore. And I mean, he didn't go either.
I was going with like aunts and cousins and stuff.
So he was just like, hell yeah, turn the scanner back up.
He didn't give a shit.
And so that chalked basically most of my thing up to those factors.
Does your uncle, how happy is he?
Oh my gosh.
Just about what you're doing and how you do it?
He loves it.
He probably is the biggest supporter of you.
And he always has been. But I mean, yes, and how you do it. He loves it. He probably is the biggest supporter of you.
And he always has been.
But, I mean, yes, he's all about it.
He tells me all the time. Did you listen to S-Town?
Yes, I did.
What did you think about that?
I mean, I liked it.
I enjoyed it.
It's funny.
I had so many people tweeting at me and stuff when it first came out.
It's like, you've got to listen to this.
The main guy, he's like a liberal redneck or whatever in it.
He's just an interesting, interesting complex dude without a doubt but i was gonna say you guys had said you know you felt
like i almost had to be raised that way and again i was but the two guys that tour with me cory ryan
forrester and drew morgan they're also progressive southern comics that we've been buddies and doing
comedy together for a long time before this actual formal tour.
And they're in the same vein as me in that way.
And both of them grew up in the church, I mean, until they were 18, 19, whatever.
Their parents are not like the hardcore, you know, like real Bible-thumping troglodyte types.
But different than you.
But, I mean, they're more stereotypical in that way you know i mean they're
conservative they're christian conservatives i just mean they're not like the insane variety
right but they are that but yet cory and drew i again because of a rebel or contrarian thing
or pushing back against it they swung the other direction but with me yes it was how i was raised
basically awesome but yeah we're on we tour we typically i don't know how
you guys normally do it but like we'll go out like i'm going to um this thursday i'm going to
portland doing helium yeah i love it too but this will be the second time there but thursday friday
and saturday and come back and then next week it's next week now so i'm back in la next week
and then next weekend charleston south carolina you know so like so you'll do like come in and out theaters and and clubs yeah you come in and out but point is it's pretty
constant and we go all over the place so yeah if you're listening you go to wellreadcomedy.com and
see all the dates and all that and yeah the book the liberal redneck manifesto dragon dixie out of
the dark which is basically everything i just said about me and our upbringing and all that
that's what the book is about um i want to tell you i want to tell you guys a quick story about the name though
so yeah well read it comes from well redneck is where that came from originally and it just sort
of became our like group name and all that and it's always been fine there's only been one time
ever that anything weird happened involving the name and it was at a a comedy club in a more like
conservative area but not in the south uh and we got there and the owner was there initially we
just talked to him briefly or whatever and then later he he wasn't there anymore and we asked
like the manager like hey what happened to you know bob or whatever and he told us that the owner of that club is a
big-time conservative he did not know what our thing was when he booked us and he according to
the manager thought we were native american comedians well read there's like what like
well-read skin like i don't't think Native Americans would go by that.
Well, go watch Peter Pan.
I mean, comedians, they might.
Go watch Peter Pan, the original cartoon, and there's a song called What Makes the Red
Man Red, and you're like, I don't think you can see that.
But he thought we were Native American comedians.
Then when somebody told us like, no, no, no, they're like liberal redneck guys, you know,
he got in his car and left.
He's like, I will not have any of that
so he was so mad that you weren't native americans and then he was mad that you were like progressively
yes yeah you double dipped on his anger yeah well go check it out wellreadcomedy.com and check out
the book uh the liberal redneck manifesto is that what it is? You got it, man. Check it out. All right, we got another story? Yes. Let's jump in. This was sent in by BolivianGiddyUp at GoKartMozart47.
I'm all about this guy.
Yeah, I'm loving the handle.
I'm loving like 11 life choices at this point.
He's a great dude.
He's been to.
GoKart Mozart is, and I know you know this, like did you have relatives that had CBs?
That was the original internet CB.
Oh, yeah, of course.
I already said I had that truck driving grandpa and my mother.
So he had a CB.
Go-Kart Mozart.
That is a great CB name.
It's phenomenal.
Go-Kart Mozart,
what's your 20?
But isn't that a line
from Blinded by the Light?
Blinded by the Light,
originally Bruce Springsteen
and then Manfred Manners.
Oh, damn.
For real?
I love it.
Go-Kart Mozart
checking out the weather charts.
Yeah.
Seeing if it's safe at night.
This dude is a great townie.
He was at our live show in San Francisco.
He was at our live show, our Dumb People Town Hall in Houston.
Oh, awesome.
So thanks, buddy, for sending this in.
Police say three men broke into a woman's house.
Oh, boy.
If that were stopped, I would never do it.
We can't do this story.
That's just not cool.
Right.
But then it all gets back okay took her for a ride stole her tv then returned it and asked her
not to call the cops so they basically they broke in they forced an uber experience on her
she had to pay with her tv all right but they gave it back she wouldn't agree
to the deal though and now the trio face burglary charges right well that's because you don't break
into another like we have a social contract like are there ever do you feel like this sometimes
because i feel like as each of these things that we thought were things that you can't do anymore
like or that you could never do.
The President of the United States can't call out a regular citizen on Twitter.
And then once that breaks down, you're like, can we just do anything?
I guess I don't have to stop at this stop sign, right?
I guess I could just go to this person's house and take her out for a ride and take her TV, right?
I mean, that's what we're doing, right?
I mean, I think that totally makes sense.
I mean, why should the rest of us hold ourselves to any higher
standards? I know!
Giving your echelon.
We're going to apologize to her.
And we're going to return the TV.
I give everybody's address here.
Jesus Vila of the
1100 block of East 6th
Street. Ryan D. Davis of the
700 block of East Church Street.
If you want to visit these people.
These are all points on the walking tour.
And John P. Parker, JPP.
JPP.
What's up, JPP?
Of the first block of Countryside Estates.
I mean, he's right at the beginning.
Estates.
Once you get through that guard gate, he's right there.
All had bond hearings Friday afternoon.
That's got townhouse written all over it.
All over it.
Yeah, or there's a, I can't remember, we were driving from Burbank to Malibu.
Me and my wife had somewhere along the way, we passed a trailer park.
But it's out here and it's called the something something mobile estates.
Mobile estates.
So I'm assuming that this is that kind of estate.
Yeah, you look at that and you're like, look at all that land each place has got.
They got estates.
Estates, estates.
All three are charged with residential burglary and if convicted, can face up to 15 years in prison.
Police say, in court records, that Vila, that's Jesus, kicked the victim's door in on the 200 block of Boulevard Street.
Guys, everywhere.
Boulevard Street, by the way, dumbest name for a street.
What street is it?
It's Boulevard Street.
How'd you name that? Well, it's a street. What street is it? It's Boulevard Street. How'd you name that?
Well, it's a street.
It's next to Avenue Lane.
To kick the door in?
Yes.
Where are you trying to go?
Kick the victim's door in on the 200 block of Boulevard Street only to realize she was home.
So at least give them credit that they were not trying to specifically victimize any person, let alone a woman.
They thought the house was empty.
Right.
Okay?
Still should have been doing it. Doesn't make it better, but changes
intent. So what do you say at that moment?
You've kicked the door in.
Oh, hey.
Should we call an Uber?
Surprise!
We're here!
Then you walk out backwards
like at the end of Weird Science. You have a beautiful
home. Sorry about that.
Police say in court records
that Vila kicked in the victim's door
at the 200 block of Boulevard Street
only to realize she was home.
At which point,
the three men improvised
and acted as if they were concerned
for her well-being.
Which means I hope they walked in
and were like,
can we get a suggestion from the audience?
I'm very scared right now.
Scared, scared, scared, scared.
Hook her in the toilet.
I'll just be washing my hands
right now in this fake sink. Hey, it's raining
inside your house. Oh, man.
How are you feeling? I'm good.
I'm your dad. Get in here,
honey. I just showed
up, honey. Oh, my gosh. Did you
notice any droplets coming from the sky right
now oh we're all on fire okay no we're not no we're not yes we are no we're not quickly you're
gonna catch fire my wife says we're not on fire we're not on fire you guys are on fire in the
let's get this woman out of here let's go let's go let's go no we're not grab the tv too we might
need the tv oh good idea oh and. As you're in the car driving.
The woman's there just like, I'm way more scared now.
Right.
This is so much worse.
They improvised and acted as if they were concerned for her well-being, which means they were like, are you okay?
Right, yeah.
I'm fine.
Boom.
I was fine.
I was fine until you kicked my door down.
Right.
They gave her a ride to her friend's house to retrieve some things.
What?
Maybe she's going along like,
oh my God, am I in danger?
Let's go to my friend's.
Or, yeah, that almost makes it sound like,
boom, oh, oh, are you okay?
We came to check.
I was like, well, actually, now that you mention it,
I couldn't use a ride to Sheila's.
I gotta pick up a hairdryer from Sheila's.
She told police in court records
that they gave her a ride to her friend's house to retrieve some things,
but they got into a fight with her along the way.
Of course.
These guys, no.
They seem like they have it together.
Because she started being like, you know what, guys?
First of all, take a left up here.
I don't think there was anything wrong.
There was something wrong.
There was something wrong.
No, I don't think there was.
You've got to tell me there's nothing wrong in your house.
Yeah, I'm the one telling you because you came to my house. We're giving you a ride. Why are you fighting with us? Yeah,, I don't think there was. You're going to tell me there's nothing wrong in your house. Yeah, I didn't know what I was telling you
because you came to my house. We're giving you a ride.
Why are you fighting with us? Yeah, but I don't think I needed a ride.
If you were going to steal something from your house,
like your TV, would we be giving
you a ride at night now? Yeah, if you wanted me
to leave. If we were going to take the TV
off the wall, would we be giving you a ride? I didn't even
smell smoke. I don't think the house was on fire.
You don't know what smoke smells like. Yeah, they just
mansplained to her what fire is. Okay, let me tell you how fire works. I don't think you house was on fire. You don't know what smoke smells like. Yeah, they just mansplained to her what fire is.
Right.
Okay, let me tell you how fire works.
Like, I don't think you understand the dangers of it.
It's not the fire that kills you.
It's the smoke in a way.
I wish they had said that.
It's the thought of the fire.
They got into a fight as the men continued to mansplain things to her along the way,
leading them to drop her back off at home.
So they never even made it to Sheila's house.
We're not going to Sheila's.
She was like, you know what?
Fine. You don't want anything
from your friends? We're going back home. Like a parent
threatening to turn around.
Is this what you want? You think I'm going to this roller
skate party for myself? I will go back home.
I don't need it. I will go back home.
I don't need it. This is Ma'a Nan Sheila, correct?
From Wild Wild Country. Are you
into it? So into it. Done.
So essentially, Trey Crowder
could be the people in Antelope
and the people on the...
Yeah,
because he's wearing red.
Because he's wearing red.
Yeah.
But the best part
in that thing
is the guy who stayed
on the city council
and seemed to collect
all their stuff
and then thought
he turned into a spy.
The guy with the overalls.
He turned into a spy.
He's my favorite.
I'm sorry,
we have really segwayed from this story
but I know
come on we're in dumb people town
we can go anywhere
we literally
we're the town council
I hear Sheila
it's a buzzword
by the way
Trey Crowder made up
the friend's name Sheila
of course
I know but
that's a made up
I know but like
we're saying it so much
that it's like evoking
you know what I say to anybody
who's mad that we're talking about
well all the country
tough ditty
tough ditty
remember when she says that
oh my god
okay
beautiful
let's go back.
Please.
We're back now.
She's back at home.
Fine.
You don't want your life saved?
We're taking you back home.
We'll take you back to the danger
that we initially created.
What's there?
She found her 42-inch TV missing.
You know what's crazy?
You think about this too?
42, not that.
That's what I was going to say.
No, no, no.
You're wrong.
We had this conversation
when we watched Michigan
almost not lose the national championship.
42 inches, small flat screen TV, right?
Yes.
But remember when somebody got a 35-inch tube TV when you were a kid,
and you were like, that's the biggest.
That's the biggest I've ever seen.
Other than the projection, which you couldn't be on the side.
You had to be straight on.
You had to be directly in it.
But remember when 35-inch was like, that's a big TV.
Without a doubt.
Now 42, you're like,
Because it was 35 inches across
and it was like 40 inches deep.
Deep, yeah.
And like seven feet tall.
Yes.
So, we had a 35 inch TV,
you know, not bragging.
You did though.
But we did.
Well, it's one of those red,
you know that old Jeff Foxworthy joke
about being in a trailer
but with a $10,000 stereo or whatever?
Yeah.
It was 100% that.
Yeah, yeah.
But we had a 35 inch tv and then uh years later after it had like it messed up so my meemaw lives
in the house that i grew up in my dad passed away a few years ago my meemaw lives there the tv has
stopped working and it was in the back room uh just under this blanket and she was calling me
and telling me that i needed to come. This is when I still lived
in Knoxville.
She wanted me to come,
drive up two and a half hours
to haul that TV off.
And take it where?
To shoot it.
To shoot it?
Yes,
because you have to shoot it.
Why?
They'll explode
if you don't.
Oh.
Also,
She's right about all of this.
Also,
also,
time is a factor here
because
the mercury inside of it is poisoning her in her sleep.
She's not wrong.
Meemaw is right.
Hey, she needs these three guys to come over to her house.
You and Meemaw would get along great.
She needs these three guys to come over to her house, take her for a ride, get rid of that goddamn TV.
Make sure they shoot it, though.
She needed these guys to kick her door down.
By the way,
my second show
that I'm pitching,
we're already going to pitch
Smell My Car.
Yeah.
Smell My Ride.
Smell My Ride.
I am pitching a show
called Me and Meemaw.
Why not?
It's just me
and Trey Crowder's Meemaw.
Hanging out.
I'd watch it.
Shooting TVs.
Trying to rid
her house of mercury.
Oh, she's something else, man.
I love it.
So did you take it out and shoot it?
I had my buddy Kobe that I grew up with come and haul it off to the junkyard.
And knowing Kobe, he probably shot it.
Sure.
Not because he had to, but because he wanted to.
A lot of people in this world, all you need is to give them a reason.
Give them a reason.
Give me a reason.
Give me a reason to shoot this TV.
I will shoot this TV.
This is where it turns a little bit.
So remember, here's what's happened so far.
They kicked in her door.
She goes, what the hell?
They're like, we're here to save you.
She said, thank you.
They get in the car.
They get in a fight.
They take her back home to show her.
And her TV's gone.
Here's the next sentence.
Okay, so there's a fourth man.
There's three men.
I know, but I'm saying.
I don't know.
Okay, all right.
Someone took the TV.
It sounds like a caper to me.'m saying like exactly she people is a crew so she gets home where she finds
her 42 inch tv missing right she told police she texted one of the men so they got the exchange
information yes yes please give us five stars right yeah she told me she texted one of the men
threatening to call police if they didn't bring her TV back.
She's not taking any shit.
By the way, she has now all the power.
Yeah.
How does she have all the power?
She started out dumb by being tricked into thinking they were there to save her for no
reason, but then at some point the tides turned.
I don't know.
It sounds to me like they broke into their own goddamn Meemaw.
You know what I mean?
She just took charge immediately.
So she threatens to call police if they didn't bring back her TV. Hashtag Meemaw's house. You know what I mean? She just took charge immediately. So she threatens to call police
if they didn't bring back her TV.
Hashtag Meemaw.
They did.
Hashtag Meemaw.
They did.
And according to court records,
when the woman retrieved her TV from the trunk,
which means she went and got it herself.
They wouldn't even bring it back.
She went and got it.
Davis told her,
quote,
you got your TV back.
Are you still going to call the cops?
These guys are like completely at her mercy.
They broke into a house.
They had rank then.
Now they are way down here.
Oh, yeah.
Groveling.
Yes.
Don't call.
We'll take you back to Sheila's.
Don't call the cops.
We'll give you a ride any weekend you want.
Sorry about that whole turning around thing.
We'll reinstall the TV for you.
Davis and Vila's bonds were set at $50,000 by Judge Philip Montgomery.
Because of their criminal histories, they remain in county jail on Friday.
Parker was released on his signature, which means JPP was just along for the ride.
Yeah, literally.
Literally.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry.
Okay, the first one is Jesus Villa, right?
Villa, yeah.
And then the JPP. What's the middle guy's name?
That would be Ryan D. Davis, R-double-D.
R-double-D.
And then John PP.
Okay, I was thinking for a minute that JPP was the only white-sounding name.
He was released on a signature.
That's weird how that happens.
What's wrong with this?
But I guess R-D-D.
He did not have a criminal history, that was his thing.
Parker was released on his signature.
All three men are due back in court on May 4th,
which is where we will be.
On that day we'll be in Chicago.
This is the week leading up to it, right?
We only have a few tickets.
This is right before this.
This is the week when this drops.
This Friday, if you're listening to this when it drops.
We'll be doing a live Dumb People Town
and then two stand-up shows around it.
I think the early stand-up show is close to being sold out,
although we might release a few tickets at the end,
and then the podcast is sold out.
Yep.
But if you come to the late show, there's still tickets there.
I'm sure there'll be some Dumb People Town fun and all.
We'll do a little Dumb People Town in that, but that's on May 4th.
So all three men are due back in court on May 4th,
which is when our show is at North Bar, live at northbar.com.
I love it.
I'm going to ask you guys this.
Okay.
Whose home state did this happen in?
Okay.
Now, would that be Missouri for the Sklars, Illinois for me, or Tennessee, Trey Crowder, for yourself?
You are our guest.
You can go first, Tigger third on this one.
I mean, I'll go first again.
I almost asked like five times throughout that story where you had said it had happened at.
I didn't know it was leading up to that.
I had not.
I gave no clues.
You gave no clue.
You stood strong.
You held your limit as a parent.
That's beautiful.
Well, there's a boulevard street.
There is a boulevard street.
Some estates.
Well, we grew up in St. Louis where the street that we grew up on was Olive Street Road.
So, Olive Street Road.
Boulevard Street.
Oh, let's see.
God. I mean, this woman, again, this sounds like the actions of a me-ma type to me.
Like a strong will.
Like she had six kids.
They're all gone now, but she still knows how to.
She knows how to fight.
She knows how to tell people what to do, get her way, whatever.
She has a tone of voice that can make people stop in their tracks.
And so, I mean, I'm going to say Tennessee.
Okay.
Jason or Randy Sklar?
I think it's Missouri, and I'm not just being,
I see it happening in like the boot heel of Missouri.
I think it's Tennessee.
Tennessee?
Yep.
All right, all of our townies, get your answers in for whose home state
do you think this happened in, Missouri, Illinois, or Tennessee?
Are we going to do who do we think is right?
Can we do that too? Yeah, we can do that. who do we think is right? Can we do that too?
Yeah, we can do that.
Who do you think is right?
Well, maybe it's none of us.
That's an option because no one said Illinois.
Don't you normally, and I know it's normally age,
but you usually do who is right whenever someone got it exactly right.
Does anybody believe in anybody else,
in which case they could have said that?
I believe I'm right.
Well, of course you believe you're right.
All right, Dan. Everybody believe I'm right. Well, of course you believe you're right.
Everybody feels good? Yeah.
Okay.
The tale of the men who broke into a home and got more than they bargained for. I'm getting good at that part.
Summarizing it. Stop.
Happened in
Sycamore, Illinois.
Oh my god! We were all wrong.
15 minutes from my hometown.
He said Tennessee. Trey said Tennessee. I know, but Trey was right in saying we could were all wrong. 15 minutes from my hometown. He said Tennessee. Trey said Tennessee.
I know, but Trey was right in saying we could all be wrong.
We could all be wrong.
Yes, you were correct.
What did you say?
Do you know Sycamore?
Oh, yeah.
No, I was in Sycamore last week.
Does that check out?
That story?
Yeah, because the three guys.
So I had to take this out because it would give where they're from.
It literally says three sandwich men because they're from Sandwich, Illinois.
I was like,
oh, we could have a good run on just one sandwich man.
I thought you just meant
like, you know,
just the Italian beef
or sausage or whatever.
I've never been
to Sandwich, Illinois.
I'm a sandwich man too.
In my mind,
in Sandwich, Illinois,
no one has clothes.
They just wear sandwich clothes.
That's it.
It's like diehard crazy.
I like to think of that town
as like squeezed
between two other towns.
There you go. All right. At Sklar Brothers. Breadville and Die Hard 3. I like to think of that town as like squeezed between two other towns. There you go.
All right.
Breadville and Loftown.
Toward the end of the story, you said they're due back in court on May 4th,
and then you said, which is when we're going to be.
And I almost asked, wait, this was in Chicago?
Yeah, we're going to be there.
But on May 4th is the same date as our show
which just so happens to also be in Illinois right yeah because at the time when you said it I thought
you were gonna be in court with them right yeah we're also gonna be in court if we could show up
to that hearing that could have been a tell that could have been a tell yeah that's what I'm saying
I thought it but then right after that you asked the question I was like nah there's no way that's
what I meant all three men are due back in court on May 4th all right which is the same day same
day that we'll be there,
and we'll be kind of in their vicinity.
All right, give us a little taste
of what we're going to see in this last segment.
A woman has the best reason for why she has drugs.
All right.
You got it.
She wanted drugs.
That's very good logic, Jay Crowder.
All right, stay with us.
One more segment, Dumb People Town, right after this.
All right, guys, welcome back to DPT.
Oh, come on, Dan.
I went to DBD.
We've got our final segment here.
Dan, give us a story to take us on.
Here we go.
This was sent in by, how would you, B-U-S-C-A-P-E,
but it's got the little over the E.
Booscape?
Booscape?
Booscape.
Booscape.
Booscape?
Booscape?
Booscape?
Booscape?
Booscape.
Booscape.
Booscape?
And we're at Haji Bueller.
H-O-D-G-Y-B-E-W-L-E-R.
Thanks, Haji Bueller.
Bueller.

A Florida woman tried to get out of being found with cocaine in her purse by telling people she had no idea where it came from.
Yeah, well, that's...
Kenesha Posey was in the passenger seat of a car.
A lot happened in the passenger seat today.
A lot.
We are living in the passenger side.
Yeah.
In Fort Pierce, Florida, when she was stopped on March 21st, police said there was a strong
smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle.
When they searched her bag, cops found marijuana and a small bag of cocaine.
Okay.
Posey said that she...
What do you do when that is the case?
It's not mine.
I mean, yeah, that's chapter one.
Wasn't me.
It's Shaggy.
The Shaggy defense.
Yeah, the Shaggy defense.
But I'm the cop who pulled you over.
Wasn't me.
Sorry for anybody who knows.
Sorry for reaching in your over. Wasn't me. Sorry for anybody who knows. Sorry you're reaching in your purse.
Wasn't me.
Posey readily admitted to owning the first drug, but said the second was not hers.
So she went.
Weed?
Mine.
Cocaine?
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
Well, that's that like, I'll admit to a lesser thing to make you think that I'm an honest person.
I'm giving a little bit.
So when I tell you that that appeared out of nowhere.
If I was guilty, I would have said none of it was mine.
This lady can't be lying.
She admitted to having the weed.
Can I tell you part of the truth?
How about that?
So the weed, she says, that's all me.
That's all me.
Cocaine, she said, was not hers.
Quote, I don't know anything about any cocaine.
When you start double using words, you're lying.
I'm trying to tell y'all.
I don't know anything about any cocaine.
I'm trying to tell y'all is the, that is the phrase.
Quote, it's a windy day.
Here it comes.
It must have flown through the window and into my purse.
It was worth a shot, man.
Look,
as Michael Jordan once said,
you make none of the shots
you don't take.
Also,
I mean,
it is Florida.
You know,
like if it was ever going to
storms roll through
all the time.
You know,
the wind blowing cocaine,
it would be in Florida.
Look,
if ever there was a state,
that's right,
where it's raining cocaine.
The story is so short.
Literally,
that's the only detail of the story.
There are bags of cocaine swirling around Marco Island right now.
Right.
I hope she said, because there's nothing better than when people preface a lie.
Like, when they're like, what's the deal with cocaine? I'm going to be honest with you.
If I tell you, are you going to believe me?
Because there's no sense in me going through what I'm about to tell you if you're not going to believe me. Like, ma'am, I have no clue what you're going to say. Are you going to believe me? Because there's no sense in me going through what I'm about to tell you
if you're not going to believe me.
Like, ma'am, I have no clue what you're going to say.
Are you going to believe me or not?
Are we just lying?
Do we not care?
Right.
Do we not care about the truth?
Because that's what I care about.
Do we not care about the truth?
Because that's all I care about.
She said, it must have flown through the window
and into my purse.
You know how a bag can sometimes...
Like in American Beauty that bag
that but with cocaine
and a little powder
and into her car
by the way
a bird
couldn't do
what she just described
right
you know what I mean
like if she was
Harry Potter
and like had the power
of wizardry
she couldn't do
what that did
but guys
what if that is
what happened
I mean
police did not accept
her unlikely version
of events
and took her into custody
on one felony count
of cocaine possession
that is ridiculous
and a misdemeanor count
of marijuana possession
she
was released on bond
good
good for her
isn't that crazy
I mean it's so short
but I mean
it's so short
but it's so cute
if you could see
the amount of townies
I stopped
because at first
I was like
this is way too short
but then
we got so many people sending in.
It's like, we have to acknowledge this happened in dumb people's time.
I am now going to say this to my kids when they want something that there is no, like my 10-year-old wants a phone.
And I'm like, when cocaine flies.
Or a purse.
Cocaine flies through the window in my purse.
If a phone flies through the window and into my wallet or bag or my tote, whatever, you can have it.
So I have a question for you guys now that this story's happened.
I've been listening to the show the past few weeks, digging it.
And maybe this has to have been broached in one way or another before,
but I've just been wondering,
did you guys have to make up some kind of rule or anything
regarding submissions involving the state of Florida
or limit it to whatever?
Because I just feel like a lot of Florida stuff.
I mean, yeah.
So today, we only had one in Saras.
Right.
So today, we were Illinois, Madison, Wisconsin, and Florida.
I think it's now starting to disperse around.
I mean, listening to it, it is spread out.
Do I have criteria?
Yeah.
Did you have to tell people?
The only criteria for stories is can't die.
Yeah, can't die unless they kill themselves
and it's really funny
and not in a tragic way
like the guy
who went over
the Niagara Falls
and like made a website
being like
I'm gonna go over
Niagara Falls
and then there was
a big debate
whether or not
he had done it
yeah he did it
yeah
he made a website
can't hurt kids
can't hurt women
I'm not interested
in dudes who are like
being creeps towards women
like a woman came home and in the shower, the guy
got into the shower. No, that's not pleasant
for anybody and it's not funny.
So yeah, there is criteria for that stuff.
That last one you said,
not the shower part,
but counterpoint.
I think it can be funny.
I almost brought this up earlier.
You guys know who Jim Bob Coder
is? Yes, of course.
The Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator, I believe.
Detroit Lions.
Detroit Lions.
That's what I meant to say, yeah.
He was a backup quarterback at the University of Tennessee.
Go Vols.
Do you want to tell this story?
Very briefly, I'll tell it.
While he was there.
This will be our final thing.
We get a story from Trey Crowder.
While he was there, and again, Jim Bob Coder.
This is a very Jim Bob Cooter thing
to do, I would imagine.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
Old JBC.
His name encompasses
everybody's sexual genitalia.
Yeah, I feel like,
I mean, his name presumably
is James Robert Cooter,
you know,
but everybody was just like,
Jim Bob Cooter.
No, you Jim Bob.
You Jim Bob.
WWJBCD. What would Jim Bob Cooter do you Jim Bob, Jim Bob, WWJBCD.
What would Jim Bob do?
Well,
I'll tell you what I'd find out when he was a student there.
And this is like,
this is how the story goes. And also what his explanation was,
he broke into a girl's apartment and climbed into bed with her in his underwear.
Yep.
He says,
because he lived in that apartment yeah had only recently
moved out and was hammered drunk and thought it was his he was going back to his place it's like
he was locked out so he's like i'll just crawl in my bedroom you know so he opens the window
crawls in there and gets in bed with her and again not for her but like that's about as funny as that type of thing. It's muscle memory. As long as he doesn't touch her or nothing happens.
Or she beats the shit out of him.
Or he freaks out, starts crying.
She took his gym glove and turned it into a kudo.
And then, too, then that's intent.
So he was an idiot.
But an idiot that's like a predator, never going to be.
To me, that guy, remember we had a story where a guy like jumped off a mosque
jumped off a mosque got naked got into a fire escape then got into an apartment building
climbed into bed took a shower in an apartment because the people were like you're running from
the cops take a shower and get into bed with one of our kids to hide from the cops the parents said
that i'm not knowing nothing about the guy other than he was running from the cops they were like
we're on your side.
That's great.
And he did it?
Yes, he did it. I feel like even that guy, I would be like, I'll just go to jail, man.
Nah.
Pulp Fiction moment.
Like the spider has called over.
Why are you adding more charges to what I'm going to be charged with in that instance?
Jim Bob Cooter.
We end a show with Jim Bob Cooter.
No other way to end.
Thank you, Trey Crowder.
Go see him on the Well Read R.E.D. comedy tour.
You can check it out at wellreadcomedy.com.
Redneck, the book is?

Yeah, and actually we recommend that, yeah, because, yeah, it's read, yeah.
By you.
Yes.
Oh, dude, check it out.
Go to Audible.
Pick up Our Thing, which is Sklars and Stripes,
our audio documentary that we did
where we go into different towns
and try and create comedy in the towns that we're in.
Ten cities, ten chapters.
We did that.
Sklars and Stripes, pick that up.
And then, oh, by the way,
today, tonight,
this is the last thing I'll say,
our special, which we did last year,
which has our own left-wing redneck man in it,
is going to be out on Starz, I believe, tonight at 10 p.m. on Starz.
You can watch our special on the Starz Network.
Or you get it on the app.
On the app, anytime you want.
On demand, but on the app.
It's called Hipster Ghosts, and that's on right now.
Daniel, anything for you?
Just come hang out with me in Chicago,
and then outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma, at West Salem Springs the next day.
And I will give people a heads up, I guess really quickly I can let people know,
John Roy and I are doing some touring co-headlining dates.
We're going to be in Portland in June, and we have other dates coming,
and we'll probably have him on here to talk about it.
But we'll let everybody know when that stuff gets closer.
So be on the lookout. I'm coming your way.
Love that you have an open invite, my friend.
It's so nice to have you back.
I was hoping when he said that you were going to say, tell me what to do. Tell me I have an open invite, my friend. Thank you. I was hoping when you said that you were going to say, tell me what to do.
Tell me I have an open invite.
And oh shit, we've got to get back to work.
