Dan and Ran and Jay will share
Tales of folks so unaware
They lack in grace and sometimes choose
The life they choose will make the news
Breaking down each epic fail
In Florida there's half-price bail
I'm happy to say they
Couldn't make this up
So listen to our podcast
Dan with co-host
Our man Dan
Man, jerk, don't be a jerk Cause when the music hits the funny hits So listen to our podcast band with co-host Armand Dan.
Man, don't be a jerk.
Because when the music hits the funny hits, we are going to take you down.
Stick around.
Make a sound.
Talk your downies.
Dumb People Town.
Hey, townies.
Welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town.
Population you.
Population Al.
Weird Al Yankovic.
Weird Al Yankovic. Or just Al Yankovic Weird Al Yankovic Or just Al Yankovic
However you like to do it
How are you buddy?
I'm doing well
Thanks for asking
Welcome to town
So sweet
It's so good to have you
You are so sweet
And I'm going to
I was thinking about this
Right as I was coming in here
Just about
How much
We love you
And love what you've done
And how much
How much staying power
The music
And stuff that you've created Throughout the years has to this day.
And as evidence of our children listening and going back into your catalog and listening to stuff and just cackling like old ladies.
Oh.
Ryer the Kaiser, fat and weak.
That's just the opening line to Ryer the Kaiser, kills my kids.
They laugh so hard at it.
And I'm like, you're right.
That's a moment where I love them more because I'm like, oh, you're laughing at the right thing.
Oh, you're parenting right.
I'm parenting right.
You're parenting right, but they're getting it.
You understand what I'm saying?
And it's like a Weird Al song.
You can't poke a hole in it.
The longer you listen to it, the more you laugh at it.
It's just, I don't know.
That to me is wonderful, which is why
we have for many years, and I want you to get on board
with this too, we have and
we want to start a campaign. We've tried every year to launch
a campaign to get you to perform at the Super Bowl.
You to be the Super Bowl halftime show. That's been kind of
floating around a little bit. I don't think you're the only one who's doing it,
but I don't think it's going to happen.
Why? It should. Well, I don't
think I'm going to be in the NFL shirtless.
I don't know. I think it goes down about 3,000 spots, and there's Millie Vanilli than me.
No.
I think only Millie is alive at this point.
But we're going to jack you up the list.
We're going to see what we can do to try and make that happen.
Okay, so everybody listening here, just start a hashtag.
Please jack me up.
Weird Al Super Bowl halftime show.
Let's start that hashtag.
Well, we are in dumb people town.
And I know that throughout the years, and I think this is why you are uniquely engineered for this show.
You have loved to, in the way that we love to, it's like we understand, we're trying to understand dumb behavior.
Yes.
Stupid behavior.
Very important.
And it feels like dumb is getting louder or prouder right now.
I would say so.
I concur.
Is there more dumb? What do you think? Is there more dumb out in the world or we're just hearing now? I would say so. I concur. Is there more dumb?
What do you think?
Is there more dumb out in the world
or we're just hearing more about it?
We are devolving.
No, we are definitely getting dumber.
Without question.
How do we fight back?
We fight back with comedy.
We fight back with the only way we know how.
And so our great fans send us these wonderful stories to Dan.
We've never heard them.
You've never heard them.
And we would like to go through one
if that's possible with you right now.
I think that would be appropriate.
Let's get into it.
You ready for this?
Yes. My friends,
we've got a Greenlee.
Now, you don't know what this is,
but we'll explain it, Jason.
Will Greenlee is the guy's name. He is
a, I'm going to put the biggest
air quotes I can around, journalist.
Well, he cracked open the Robert
Kraft sex trafficking story.
He did that? That was him?
That was him?
He was part of the investigative report.
I guess he is a journalist.
But that's when he wants to wield his sword.
Right.
But most of the time, he writes offbeat, weird news stories for something called the T.C. Palm, which—
I think it was the T.P.C. Palm or the T.C. Palm.
T.C. Palm.
T.P.C. Palm sounds like a golf course.
It does.
The T. The TC Palm. And so the interesting thing about Greenlee is that he will, in his stories, explain things that don't need explaining.
He's Greenlee-splaining.
He's Greenlee-splaining to us.
Yes.
And so a fun game that we like to play or that Dan likes to play is he will read the article, and we have to guess, the three of us, is it Greenlee doing a stupid explanation or is it Dan tricking us?
Can I play too?
Yes.
This is going to be great.
You're in.
So what's great about this also is it makes us think that he's been asked to write 1,600 words and the story only merits about 1,200 words.
Every story is only like 900 and so he's got to fill the time.
Just pay by the word.
So that is why.
Martin County.
A television remote typically used in changing channels.
No!
Come on!
No!
Come on.
But a 35-year-old stands accused of employing one for different purposes.
I'm going to ask you guys now.
Yes.
Who wrote that?
Was that Greenlee explaining to you what a television remote is commonly used for changing television channels, or did I write that?
Al, what do you think?
I want to take the TIG position.
Oh, you take TIG?
Yeah.
Okay, go, Jay.
So I'm going to say that was Greenlee.
That feels like a Greenlee open.
Okay.
I have to say as well, I don't want to be contrarian here.
I'm going to say that is definitely Greenlee.
I think that's Greenlee, too.
Okay.
He's flexing a little Greenlee muscle early on.
A television typically used to change
channels, but a 35-year-old woman stands
accused of employing one for different purposes
was written by
Will Greenlee. Yes!
Doesn't that feel good? It does feel good.
It feels good. You're like, now I'm starting to understand this guy.
I shared this with our engineer, Brendan, but it's okay
if you didn't grab it, buddy. I shared this document with him.
I can show it to you guys because the very next thing in
this article, as you scroll
past the opening sentence, is
a picture of Greenland.
That would almost make more
sense. Like, does he exist?
It's a picture of a remote.
No! Why?
Hold on. Under that picture
is a sentence that says this is a TV remote. Under that picture. This is not the remote that was used in the story. It's a sentence that says, this is a TV remote.
No.
No.
But not the one used in the incident.
That's what I said.
Is it product placement?
No, it's like.
I'm going to give you guys a free one.
I quoted this verbatim.
You can read it.
It says, this is a TV remote, but not one used in the incident.
Photo credit,
Will Greenlee.
It's his own TV
remote. Now I'm starting to think
that he is just assuming that everyone
is so dumb. I thought you were going to say he went
Skynet. I didn't have a visual in my head
when you said TV remote, but with a picture,
it all kind of comes together. I was like, what is he talking about?
What is he really referring to? Like, I have a
vague memory of something that he used to change the channels.
Also, it's a Westinghouse remote, which you only buy a Westinghouse on Black Friday.
That is a Black Friday doorbuster.
That's the only time you get a good Westinghouse.
I'm sorry.
You knew Greenlee wasn't going to have a Panasonic.
No.
All right.
The woman, on January 27th, reportedly hurled a remote at a 62-year-old woman,
knocking that woman's dentures out, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office report.
Great throw, right?
Wow.
That is unbelievable. Gotta give her props on that.
You do.
Tremendous throw.
Unless she was right next to her.
Yeah.
That's not really fair.
Right, right.
The 62-year-old woman said the 35-year-old woman picked up a remote often powered by AA batteries and threw it, quote, with great force.
Wait, what?
Who is the person that wants you to know that a remote is often powered by AA batteries?
Was that me or Greenlee?
By the way, that's my favorite Mike Myers movie, Often Powered.
I love it.
International remote remote mystery.
So what do you think?
I don't think that.
That is so beyond Greenlee.
I'm going to say that's you, Dan.
Dan, I think it's you.
I'm going to be contrarian and say that's Greenlee.
Where's your heart go?
By the way, I want to let people know this.
There was a time when Dan did it.
We played this game through a Greenlee story.
I think he gave seven examples and all of them were Greenlee.
Right. And then the one time you did
it was all you. Right.
The 62-year-old woman said the 35-year-old
woman picked up a TV remote,
often powered by AA batteries, and
threw it, quote, with great force.
Well, with great force comes great responsibility.
That's true. That was written by...
Yoda said that.
Will Greenlee.
Yo!
What?
Wow.
Thank you.
No.
I'll take that.
The impact of the remote knocked, quote, her dentures out of her mouth and onto the ground, the report states.
Dentures, also known as false teeth, are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth
and are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity.
Conventional dentures are removable.
Removable partial denture or complete denture.
Who wrote that?
Wikipedia, I would say.
Daniel Van Kirk or Will Greenlee.
Who wants you to know what dentures are?
Oh, man.
That's a tough one.
That's a tough one.
Oh, it could go either way so easily.
It really could go either way.
It sure could go either way.
You know, I'm going to go Greenlee.
Okay.
Randy or Jay?
I think it's Greenlee.
I think it's Greenlee too.
Okay.
The person who wants you to know exactly what dentures are was written by Daniel Van Kirk.
Oh, Dan, you are so good at trivia. Dan, I love this. exactly what dentures are was written by Daniel VanCamp.
Dan, you are so good at tricking us.
Dan, I love this. Dan doesn't get enough credit for how much he's tricking us.
Al's so good
because I directly took that from Wikipedia.
Half a point.
You win that round.
Even though the three of us said
that is good.
I am now about to take you on a pun path to destruction that Will Greenlee will never come back from.
Ready?
Evidently, the 35-year-old woman was not armed to the teeth.
The 62-year-old woman did not say that they both fought tooth and nail.
Deputies reported the 62-year-old woman appeared a bit under the influence,
but there was no allegations of lying through the teeth.
The 35-year-old woman denied throwing anything.
The 62-year-old woman's boyfriend, however,
corroborated his girlfriend's account.
So now enter the boyfriend of the 62-year-old.
Okay, can we just collectively not, once you hit a certain age,
that is not your boyfriend and that is not your girlfriend.
Is there a rule for it? That is your partner.
Okay.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, you don't even have to be married.
Do you do have to go partner?
This is the gentleman I'm dating.
Gentleman friend.
This is the woman I'm gentleman friend.
My gentleman caller.
Yeah.
My man friend.
My woman friend.
My quarter.
My quarter.
Yes.
My partner.
You're right. My boyfriend is. My woman friend. My quarter. My quarter. Yes. My partner. You're right.
Boyfriend is something in high school.
Are you saying, Randy, that she's too long in the tooth to be able to?
I'm saying you start to say boyfriend.
Donate the player.
Donate the player.
I'm saying he's the gay.
You start to say boyfriend, girlfriend, and you're just going to gum some things up.
What is the year, if you had to arbitrarily pick a year, that you don't say boyfriend anymore?
55?
29.
Stop.
I'd say 1949.
That's the year.
That's some woke shit right there.
Okay.
So my initial thought was that this is her daughter, but they're being very clear to establish that this is a 35-year-old woman hanging out with a 62-year-old woman.
I think it's a 62-year-old woman's son's girlfriend.
Probably.
And then she has a boyfriend.
Right.
Got it.
Now, why didn't the boyfriend just jump out in front
and take some dentures?
Take the remote to the chest and block her dentures?
The 62-year-old woman's boyfriend, however,
corroborated his girlfriend's account.
I love Uwe, but I need better reference points.
The incident may have been no skin off the 62-year-old woman's teeth.
No!
Because she did not want to pursue charges.
No arrests were made.
And we will get out of here on this.
One thing I like about the TC poem is while you're reading it,
they have hyperlinks to other things.
They go more, and you can click on them.
This is what else is going down
in the TC Palm.
If you were reading this article, you could also click
on the thing that says, more, Ponce de Leon
Betsy Ross jailed on Treasure
Coast. I think that's a story we
covered here. Oh, it is? I remember
covering it. Here's another one.
More, woman's apparent threesome
revelation, Sauer's boyfriend in Stewart. Does that mean she. Woman's apparent threesome revelation. Sauer's boyfriend
in Stewart. Does that mean she tells him
about her threesome and he obviously was
not involved? Maybe he was asleep.
Here's my favorite one. This will be the last one and we'll go on to another
story. More.
Why is a naked man in my home?
What's going down in T.C.
Palms? I've had my kids ask that about me.
Why is a naked man in my home?
I'm like, I just got out of the shower.
Because I pay the mortgage.
Yeah, it's my house.
If you have a kid and you're naked around them, you cannot call your partner a boyfriend or girlfriend.
That's right.
That's fair.
I wouldn't pretend a show called Why Is There a Naked Man in My House?
Why Is There a Naked Man in My House?
Why Is There a Naked Man in My House?
I would watch that show.
Come on, Netflix.
Come on.
You got this.
You got this.
I would put that on CBS.
All right.
That's story number one.
Story number one. We had a Greenlee. We had a Greenlee. We've got Weird Al right here. You got this. You got this. I would put that on CBS. All right. That's story number one. Story number one.
We had a Greenlee.
We had a Greenlee.
We've got Weird Al right here.
Stay with us.
We've got more Dumb People Town right after this.
Stick around.
Make a sound.
There's more Dumb People Town.
Hey, guys.
Welcome back to the show.
Sklyr Brothers here with Al Yankovic, who's a great follow on Instagram.
I've been loving your Instagram.
Your travel Instagrams
are hilarious.
It's Alfred Yankovic
on Instagram, by the way.
Just FYI
because somebody else
was already Al Yankovic.
What?
How could that be?
How?
I think that person's
trying to mess with you.
Alfred Yankovic, follow it.
It's really, really funny.
The Japan,
you were just in the Far East.
Yeah, I just got back.
And I loved
every visual joke. Well, first of all,, you were just in the Far East, I guess? Yeah, I just got back, yeah. And I loved all the, every visual joke
was hilarious. Well, first of all, the picture
of you in the crowd,
who took that of you? That was my wife, yeah.
That's an insane picture. There are so many
people. And Harajuku, yeah. Right, and
they're going this way, and it's just you turned
around in this sea of people
going the other direction. And then Jim Gaffigan,
who also was in Japan the same time I was,
but he took the exact same picture and he's doing his Al Yankovic impersonation. That's awesome. And then Jim Gaffigan, who also was in Japan the same time I was, but he took the exact same picture
and he's doing his
Al Yankovic impersonation.
That's awesome.
And your wife took that picture too?
Yeah.
She just hangs around hard,
just taking pictures of people.
If a large American turns around,
I will take a picture.
She's there.
She's there.
So I could write the whole trip off
because I did the Instagram pictures
and now we're talking about
on the radio.
That's what we're doing.
Jack's right off.
You didn't go over there to perform shows?
No.
When was the last time you did perform in Japan?
You know, the last time was actually, there was 1984.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
And that was, because Edo was a big hit in Japan,
because even though ostensibly they didn't understand the lyrics,
the video was very visual.
Yes.
That was funny.
It's like a Japanese game show.
Yeah.
So I was,
if you get a chance,
look up YouTube,
Weird Al in Japan.
I did a show
which was supposed to be
like the Japanese version
of Saturday Night Live.
Yeah.
And I'm there singing
Eat It phonetically in Japanese
while sumo wrestlers
are dancing behind me
and a guy in a large
lobster outfit comes out
and wants me to eat him.
Phenomenal. It was very often translation.
I feel like Japanese TV can be described
as this. It starts as
one thing and people are like, people aren't
going to like it. We just got to keep adding things to it.
Start throwing candy at it. Bring out the
lobster. Get the sumo wrestler. Have a guy jump
out and yell into someone's face.
There's Japanese yelling.
So that was 84.
That was the last time you went there. It was, yeah.
Unbelievable.
Do you have any tours and stuff?
Because we saw you at Moon Tower last year.
I have to say, I snuck in to watch your show in Austin at the Paramount Theater.
So fun.
Beautiful show.
You have a great band playing with you.
You sounded amazing.
I hope you liked how you sounded in that space.
It was awesome.
It was great.
We're actually touring this year.
This is an exciting tour.
It's called the Strings Attached Tour.
And we're doing every...
I love it. It is!
I love it.
Do you have orchestras playing with you?
That's exactly it. We're doing every single show
with a full symphony orchestra.
That's not a joke. We're doing that.
Where's the LA date? I need to be at that.
Greek Theater, August 10th.
Oh, phenomenal. Buy tickets now. All the dates are on WeirdAl.com. We're doing that. Where's the LA date? I need to be at that. Greek Theater, August 10th. Oh, phenomenal.
Buy tickets now.
All the dates are on WeirdAl.com.
We're doing like 66, 67 shows this summer.
So Todd Berry had a phenomenal bit about how when Guns N' Roses had an orchestra play.
November Rain.
November Rain or Sweet Todd or whatever.
He said they had sheet music.
They had sheet music for the cello.
Like, you know, Slash doesn't need it,
but like the third cello of the New York Philharmonic needs it.
Wait a second.
He's like, wait a second.
It's A all the way over to C, then back to A?
Well, the thing is with these orchestra gigs,
we have a different orchestra at every city
because we don't have like 14 buses to like
all the orchestra around the country.
Right, they have to know it. So literally that afternoon, the afternoon of the show, to like all the orchestras around the country. So literally that
afternoon, the afternoon of the show, they're singing the music
for the first time like, okay, tonight you're playing
with the weird owl.
Which, by the way, is just so brilliant
and it elevates the game.
You can't really appreciate songs like White and Nerdy
until you hear it with a full symphony orchestra.
Oh my god, I'm taking my son to this show.
Oh my god, I'm taking my kids to this show too!
Can I ask you a question?
That is, by the way, you've never done this before?
We did two nights at the Hollywood Bowl a couple years ago, which was sort of what inspired us.
Because they asked us to do that.
And it kind of blew my mind.
And I almost got a little teared up.
I'm sure.
We usually start off our encore doing the Star Wars songs with our keyboard player doing like the little...
But you're now John Williams style.
Oh my goodness, like 85 piece full orchestration.
It's like I was in the middle of Star Wars.
It was crazy.
And under the lights and out in the night in the Hollywood Bowl.
That's just magical to know.
And the Greek theater is one of my other favorite.
Hot August night, love of the Greek.
Was that Neil Diamond?
Exactly.
That was my flawless Neil Diamond impersonation.
That was a great album.
I wanted to ask you, in your set list, how often does You Don't Love Me Anymore show up?
That will be on the oncoming tour.
That might be one of our alternate songs because I don't know how long the show is going to be
because we can only do 90 minutes because otherwise we go into triple golden union overturning.
Yeah, you're right.
These are the things you have to worry about.
So we might have to switch out one of the songs,
but that's definitely something we've orchestrated.
That song spoke to me so much
and informed me so much comedically
because it's that juxtaposition of super soft,
and then that melody,
and then combined with just completely dark lyrics.
I do that all the time.
I take the most offensive, horrible lyrics and just make it a very happy, pleasant song.
It spoke to me so much.
It's so subversive in the best possible way.
And it's why, to me, like we don't play music, but we glean so much from what you did and what you do,
what you continue to do just because we're like, oh, that is a way to take a convention
or something that people understand
and then completely mess with it.
I had a girlfriend in the early 90s
who I played her one of my new songs
and she was crying.
She was like,
that's such a beautiful song.
Why did you have to screw it up
with those horrible lyrics?
You're like,
because that's the question.
That's my job.
That's my job.
That's kind of the deal.
That's what I do.
Again, that song when you're like,
oh, darling, I'm begging, won't you put down that knife?
And you say it with such love in your voice.
Oh, piranhas in the bathtub again.
I should say there's a line in that song that says,
I reference a poisonous cobra.
And people are like, don't you mean venomous cobra?
And I have to explain, no,
because the snake itself has been poisoned, cobra. And people say, don't you mean venomous cobra? And I have to explain, no, because
the snake itself has been poisoned,
and the protagonist in the song likes
to eat snakes, so if he finds a
poisonous cobra, he's going to be tempted to eat it,
and that's going to kill him.
So do not question the writer of the song.
I know what I'm doing.
You don't know what's in my head.
I know what I'm thinking.
What's this poisonous cobra doing in my underwear drawer?
He's like,
it all tracks.
It all tracks.
I highly recommend, and again, Jason and I
have done this with our kids.
You have been a part
of our lives for so long, but when
you play his music and your
music for someone who has not heard it
before, that is almost the greatest thing in the
world because you're introducing them. You're introducing something
that is part of the comedy and musical lexicon
to someone for the first time
and watching them kind of...
Appreciate it.
You see why it is as great as it is.
That's so nice to hear.
Thank you.
It's the truth, man.
Passing it down.
Paying it forward.
Paying it forward.
If you can make your kids weird L fans,
then you've done your job as a parent.
Agreed.
That's right.
Agreed.
You guys want to do a second story?
Let's do a second story.
Okay, here we go.
If I did not say in the first one, and I feel like I might not have, that Greenlee was sent
in by Graham Burris at Graham, G-R-A-H-A-M, dog.
Graham dog.
Thanks, Graham.
Two Gs in that dog.
Okay, here we go.
Ready?
Yep.
Sent in by Travis Bales at the Travis Bales.
B-A-L.
B-A-I-L-S.
Okay.
I'm going to read you the headline because it's probably all we would need.
Okay.
We could probably do the whole thing on that.
Woman marries zombie doll after the couple fall in love.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
So you marry.
There's a zombie doll out there for everybody, guys.
There's plenty of zombie dolls in the sea.
You did air quotes around falling in love.
Is that a euphemism?
No, they put it in quotes in the headline.
Okay, okay.
So like even the story doesn't believe that that happens.
Exactly.
So let me ask you for real, Dan, and I'll ask you too, Al.
Do you believe that it's possible for a person to fall in love with a zombie doll?
I believe in love.
You believe in love. In all forms. In all forms love with a zombie doll. I believe in love.
In all forms.
Love is love is love is love.
I think you can love the doll, but falling in love means the two of you
went into this love together, and I
don't think the doll can go with you.
So you say love has to be reciprocal.
It has to. Two people have to fall
in love. It's a two-person whole.
She should have said, I'm in love with a doll.
Right, because I don't know that the doll's in love with you.
Maybe.
You don't know.
Is that a Burt Bachrat song?
I don't know if the doll's in love.
I don't know if the doll's in love with you.
I don't think so.
I mean, yeah, you're right, Dan.
And had it just been a regular doll and not had the zombie affect to it,
would she not be in love with it is my question.
Well, without it getting the quotes.
Right.
I would love for this to become a thing and for all of us to sit down, put our heads together, and write a brand new updated version of Guys and Dolls.
So there'd be female zombie dolls and guys that are in love with them and boom.
Why not?
A woman who fell in love with a zombie doll aged 13 has revealed.
Had the doll aged 13?
I think she was 13.
It's a weird writing.
She's not 13 now.
Nobody's 13 in this story.
Is it an underage doll?
That's what we're asking.
No, she's.
I can tell you this much.
It is not underage.
Okay.
Neither is she.
So I don't know.
Maybe that's.
I think we might end up finding out that's when she met the doll.
Oh, okay.
Age 13.
Has revealed she married the inanimate object and said her world is now complete.
Whose wouldn't be?
By the way, if she's happy, I'm okay with it.
I am too, but.
Here we go.
Do we have a photo ready, Brendan?
Because if we have the photo that's in the story, please pull it up for me.
So she's saying to the doll, you complete me, but she can't say you had me at home.
Ready?
Oh.
That doll.
That doll is terrifying.
What?
This will be up on the Facebook page.
That is too real of a haircut for a doll.
No.
Oh, no.
Because it's kind of a bad haircut.
Wait a minute.
Yes.
We can all agree that we're happy for her happiness.
By the way, I want her to be happy.
And she looks great in the dress.
I think she looks fantastic in her.
And she seems happy.
But look at the doll.
Is that like a James Brown haircut?
I can't really.
It's a bowl cut.
Oh, it's more like a Bruce Lee.
Yeah, like if Bruce Lee was playing James Brown in a movie.
If Bruce Lee was James Brown in a zombie movie...
Am I the only person scared by this doll?
Dan, it is scary.
Who did the bow tie on the doll?
That's not a clip on.
I thought you were going to say Botox.
Who did that wedding day Botox?
They probably watch it on YouTube,
the, you know, how to tie a bow tie.
By the way, this woman is much bigger
than this doll.
Yeah, she's an adult.
The doll looks like a child.
The doll looks like a child.
Here, I'll keep reading.
No emotional reaction from the doll has been shared with the press as of yet.
Now you're, come on.
Wait.
That is ridiculous reporting.
Watch this space because it could be the making of the next great Netflix true drama.
It takes all sorts after all.
I mean, exactly.
Lars and the real girl.
That's all I'm going to say.
They're buying a lot of stuff over there.
Yeah.
Are you guys on to Madeline yet? They're buying a lot of stuff over there yeah are you guys on to Madeline yet
they're buying a lot of stuff
over there
is what Al said
this is an idea now
for a show
are you guys on to
the new Netflix thing
what
searching for Madeline McCain
no what is that
the McCann or whatever
what is that
the girl who in Portugal
like went missing in 2007
and then like the whole world
was looking for her
no
and then she's not.
Don't.
Okay.
Digging out with Sugar Man?
Yeah.
Maybe.
Did you watch Abducted in Plain Sight?
I did not.
Okay.
This is what we're going to say.
We always say this.
Minute 22.
Watch it.
It's very dark.
At minute 22.
I can turn it off?
Nope.
You have to text all of us at minute 22.
At minute 22, you're going to be like, what?
I'm not going to tell you, but at minute 22, you get to pause it at minute 22 and then, or email, you know us.
So just email us.
And just be like, give us your reaction.
I just want to hear your reaction at minute 22.
All right, we'll do.
Rory, that's my other podcast.
Randy got to minute 22 and then proceeded to rage text me for an hour.
I texted him.
Dan's like, just text me at minute 22.
And I literally paused it and I just texted him and then I texted him again and. I text it in. Dan's like, just text me in a minute and 22. And I literally pause it, and I just
text him, and then I text him again, and then I text him
again, and Dan's like, just watch the end of it.
The search for Madeline is not as good,
but it's out there. Okay, here we go.
They say this could be the new Netflix drama.
It takes all sorts after all.
Felicity Kadlec, a
21-year-old from Massachusetts, wedded
the doll named Kelly Rossi.
That's our friend, our little doll.
I like that the doll has kind of an ambiguous name.
Who she claims is how many years old?
How old do you think she says that doll is?
Elle?
Kelly Rossi.
Do we figure out where the 13 came from?
That's, I think, when they met.
When she found the doll.
So she waited to marry the doll until it wasn't creepy anymore.
Here, I can read you this. I can read you met. When she found the doll. So she waited to marry the doll until it wasn't creepy anymore.
Here, I can read you this.
I can read you this.
Anymore.
At all.
At all.
I wanted to say at all.
We made a prudent decision. Yeah.
She wanted it to be.
Felicity says.
Baby, let's wait.
Eight years.
That's all it's going to take.
We aren't animals.
How old is it?
Brandon just zoomed in on it.
Felicity says she's been in a relationship with the female doll
since she was 16
after finding Kelly Rossi,
that's the creepy doll,
on a creepy doll website.
Yes.
After finding Kelly Rossi
on a creepy doll website
at 13
and developed me
romantic feelings
three years later.
Okay, but it's a female doll
but it's in a full tuxedo.
Okay.
I know.
Which is fine. That's cool. Like a female doll, but it's in a full tuxedo. Okay. I know. Which is fine.
That's cool.
Like an antique doll
is what you're saying.
Or just now we're understanding
the, I guess,
gender assignments
that they're going to.
But if you're the artist
who created this.
They've been together
for five years.
If you're the artist
who created this doll,
you've got to be feeling
pretty good right now.
Oh, yes.
Look what I did.
Yes.
I'm going to bring joy
into somebody else's life
with my scary-ass doll, Kelly Rossi.
We'll post this picture on the Facebook page, which if you're listening to this podcast
and you're not a member of our Facebook community, what are you doing?
Join up right away because these pictures are great.
You want to see this.
So this picture of the face is beyond scary.
It's terrifying.
It's like half the chin and whatnot looks like it has been taken away or just like zombied off.
Doesn't it also kind of look like Kelly Rossi smiling?
No, those are just the teeth that are left.
All right.
How old do you think?
So she says she met this doll when she was 13.
Then they became romantically involved when she was 16.
They're now 21.
Or she's 21, I should say.
So how old is the doll?
I can tell you this.
21 is not the answer.
Right. She's now 21 and they're getting married, I should say. So how old is the doll? I can tell you this, 21 is not the answer. Right.
She's now 21, and they're getting married.
How old do you think she says the doll is?
The doll is.
This looks like something, gosh.
I love how hard he's trying.
I'm going to say the doll is 54 years old.
Okay.
54 years old from now.
I'm going to say 30 years old. 30 years old from Jason Sklar. I'm going to say 30 years old.
30 years old from Jason Sklar.
I'm going to say 25 years old.
25 years old.
Because one of them has to be able to rent a car.
That's a good head of hair.
Mattias, one of you is in the right decade.
Okay, good.
Okay.
Felicity believes, 21-year-old Felicity believes that her new husband,
Kelly Rossi, the creepy doll from the creepy doll website,
is Catrances in Nowtownie because she says Kelly Rossi is 37 years old.
Wow.
So specific.
So I was seven years old.
16 years older.
Is it weird for me that that's one of my red flags?
I'm like, 16 years older, I don't know.
You're 21.
Live your life.
What do they get?
Is half your age plus seven?
Is that the way it works?
Right.
Exactly.
Which might work out.
What do they have to talk about?
I mean, they feel like they're going to be so-
They didn't watch the same cartoons when they were growing up?
Their frame of reference is totally off.
I agree.
Now it seems the happy couple are enjoying matrimonial bliss.
The ceremony, which took place in Tiverton, Rhode Island-
I'll tell you one thing. She's not going to get any
lip because literally there's no
lips on this thing.
Cost Felicity $500.
The whole wedding, in and out. That's a pretty
good deal. Okay, now I'm considering
telling my daughters, you have a daughter, I'm considering
saying, why don't you marry a...
That's a cheap... That's a wedding we can afford.
A zombie doll is a wedding. A zombie doll wedding, that's affordable.
She said that the wedding was also attended by four of her family friends and eight of
Felicity's other dolls who, quote, watched her wed the love of her life.
I'm also going to say that $500 is too much for this wedding.
Yeah, she got taken.
I'm sure Kelly was like, we don't need anything.
We have each other.
Why are we even doing this?
Fine, if you want to do it, I will do it for you.
Right, but I don't care about seat covers.
No, but it's clear that it's important to you, so...
Fine, we don't need the shivari chairs.
I get it.
You've lived longer life than I have.
You've been here first.
Just be living in sin.
I mean, come on.
Images of the wedding show Felicity in a beautiful white wedding dress.
She looks beautiful.
Lovingly embracing the toy, who was dressed up in a tuxedo for the occasion,
but deigned not to wash the blood, white makeup, or black smudges off its face or tidy up its teeth.
Well, that's just rude.
Like it could.
Kelly was the groom, as she takes the male role in our relationship.
That's what I was saying.
She's a tomboy, so she wore a suit.
I feel she was most comfortable as the groom.
All right, Felicity.
Despite having been in a relationship with Kelly for four years,
getting married to her has made her feel so much closer to her,
both emotionally and intimately.
The other thing I love, you know, a lot of crime happens in Dumb People Town.
Sometimes it's just something odd.
It's just fun.
Sometimes you're like, guess what happens in our town?
We're married to zombie dolls.
I think we're all a little puppet fluid.
I mean, you know?
Yes.
We are puppet fluid.
Agreed.
Let's identify where we're at.
I don't have an issue with this at all.
Strings attached.
If she's happy.
Strings attached to her.
Although for her, strings attached.
I know.
It's actual strings attached.
It's her having sex with a marionette.
Marionette.
Strings attached.
No, the idea that like her,
she definitely posted all the pictures of the wedding on Facebook.
Yeah.
So then it was,
how much do her family members
and friends have to now
comment and support her?
How do her parents
comment and support her?
Exactly.
Guys, only four family friends
came to the wedding.
Well, she didn't say family members, Dan.
Or friends.
Family friends.
Like,
Where were you registered? What's the protocol on that? Yeah, right, Dan. Or friends. Family friends.
Where were you registered?
What's the protocol on that?
Yeah, right, right.
Where are you registered?
KB Toys?
What do you get the woman who has everything?
I agree.
What do you do?
I agree.
That's amazing, man.
She says she feels so much closer to her both emotionally and intimately.
Despite Kelly's zombie-like appearance, Felicity claims she loves her doll deeply and wouldn't change her for the world.
Wouldn't? Wouldn't.
Wouldn't change her for the world.
That's great.
That's it.
She said, quote, I married Kelly, but only because I accept her for who she is.
I look past her bloody face, and I don't mind her not
having a jaw.
That's what I said in my wedding bow, too.
They stole
that from you.
Honey, when I look past
your bloody face, and I don't care that you
don't have a jaw, I
see a beautiful
woman in a
tuxedo. I see a life partner is what I see.
You know what?
May they spend many, many, many happy years together.
Why not?
They're not going to fight.
Nobody's getting hurt.
I mean, Kelly showed up in the box hurt.
But here's the thing.
Or splinters, maybe.
Yes, exactly.
Well, what's going to happen when the sex goes bad?
Are they going to be friends?
Are they going to be, you know? By to be- Who knows? You're married.
You got to stick it out.
Number one, they could adopt.
They can adopt.
She can adopt.
Totally.
Another doll.
Another doll.
Another doll.
Ugly dolls.
All right, that's story number two.
But what if they adopt a doll, and then as a gift to the doll, they get a real baby?
As a gift to the doll, they get a-
You're blowing my mind.
You know what I'm saying? Like, they go the other way, and then- Wow. Real baby for a doll. Real baby a real baby. As a gift to the doll, they get a... You know what I'm saying?
Like, they go the other way.
Real baby for a doll.
Real baby for a doll.
Is that story two? That is story two.
Can you tease what story three is going to be?
Can you give us a little taste? I'll just read you the
headline. Okay.
Accusations of a legal strip club in home.
Complete misunderstanding. I cannot
wait. Alright, guys! How could there be a misunderstanding. I cannot wait. All right, guys.
How could there be a misunderstanding around that?
Agreed.
All right, Weird Al Yankovic is with us.
We have the Skly Brothers.
Of course, he's Daniel Van Kirk.
This is Dumb People Town.
We'll be right back.
Stick around.
Make it sound.
For more Dumb People Town.
Hey, guys.
Welcome back to DPT.
We want to remind people we are going to be at Largo.
Or is this coming after that?
This is actually coming out right away.
Right away.
This drops, no, this is I think going to drop the week that we are going to be at the Moon Tower Comedy Festival,
which you were at last year.
We are doing a live Dumb People Town there.
So fun.
I'll do stand-up every single night.
I'm doing your guys' show.
Is that Friday night?
Yeah, we're doing a show, a little show called
Tag It, where we have comedian friends come
on and they do their set, and then afterwards we come on
stage, and in real time we've been, like, writing
possible jokes to add to...
We pitch them tags. Or we pitch them tags if they want
them or not on the thing, so it's like a writer's room.
That's at the parish. Punching it up! Punching it up!
Tag It, so that's going to be at the parish,
and just great stuff in the Moontar County Festival,
but come see us live, do the live WTAN Eliza Skinner's going to be there, and we just great stuff in the Moontar County Festival but come see us live do the live WTAN

Insane.
That's May 7th, and that one is filling up, so get your tickets now before that sells out.
All right, Dan.
Ready?
Let's get to this last story.
Yes, let's do it.
Accusations of illegal strip club inside home.
Complete misunderstanding.
That's also in quotes, those last two words.
It's not a strip club.
It's just some friends.
Doesn't every living room have a pole?
They brought it over to teach us exercise.
Now, when you say complete understanding,
does that mean that the understanding wasn't complete until they said that?
Did I misread it?
I'm sorry, complete misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding.
I might have said it wrong.
Sent in by Derek Shipley, at Derek Shipley.
R-I-C-K in that Derek and a ship L-E-Y.
Thank you very much.
Iredell, I-R-E-D-E-L-L.
Iredell County, North Carolina.
Okay.
Authorities rated a man's rural Iredell County home Friday
after they said it was being used as an illegal adult entertainment club.
Now, when you say they rated it, was it on a scale of five or a scale of ten?
I give it a three.
I mean, the buffet was pretty good.
That would be great if cops yelped places.
I give it two out of five tassels.
What's your end game there?
That's never going to go well.
No.
Ever.
If it becomes popular, it's going to get shut down.
If it doesn't become popular, you fail.
So on a drunken night, he turns to two people who will dance there.
And he knows his friends there.
And he's like, why don't we just have the strip club here?
That's how it started.
Whenever I buy real estate, I make sure it's already zoned to be a strip club.
To a daycare.
Just in case.
You never know.
You may never need it.
You may never use it.
You never use it.
It's good for resale value.
How far are we away from an elementary school?
Let's make sure we're within and outside the limits so we can do what we want.
Official said, the owner and operator, David Yates Jr.
You can almost hear the North Carolina dialect in it.
David Yates Jr.
Yates.
David Yates.
You get down here right now.
Call me D.Y., buddy.
D.Y.
Junior.
Just call me Junior.
Was the only person inside the home when officers found weapons, marijuana, liquor, and malt beverages.
Why do you have to be so specific about the malt beverages?
It's that type of home strip club.
Chocolate malt, you know.
What was the time you had a malt?
There's one place in Rochelle, Illinois, my hometown, that still serves malts.
So you don't see them anymore.
Okay, so there is a place in Pasadena that is like a drugstore where they have the old, like they've got.
It's a restaurant drugstore.
They do like fountains and fountain drinks, but they do like root beer floats and stuff like that.
So I have to get back to that place because they do great tater tots.
It's like this thing where there's the store, and then there are these marble tables with the iron feet.
It's just a really cool place.
We should share a soda together with two straws.
Yeah, I would do that.
Green River Valley, is that what that was called?
Fair Oaks Pharmacy, thank you very much.
Right there. Oh, there it is. Fair Oaks Pharmacy. Thank you very much. Right there.
Oh, there it is.
Fair Oaks Pharmacy.
Look at that.
That looks good.
There's a counter up there and everything.
Come on.
Let's have the wrap party there.
I love a good malt.
The wrap party for this episode.
Yeah, for this episode.
We should start having wrap.
It's like SNL does.
Bring your zombie husband.
Bring your zombie husband.
Bring your zombie husband.
Zombie husband's welcome, number two.
No cover church.
And I say, if someone was smart about the Fair Oaks Pharmacy,
you'd put a strip club in there with that.
That should be.
You already have the malts.
Okay, here we go.
David Yates Jr. was the only person there when everything got confiscated,
including the malt beverages.
Eyewitness news reporter Glenn Counts was given a tour of the house on Monday by Yates.
That's how you know, too, that you think you are definitely in the right.
When you've been raided by the cops
and you tell the news, let's walk around it.
Come on in.
This is where we have the VIP section.
You tell me if anything in this garage
looks professional.
Every night's amateur night.
Yes, it's the computer room,
but at nighttime it's the champagne room.
Things that factually are just getting them more in trouble.
If that's against the law, I don't want to be right.
It is against the law.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, so you're telling me I need a license to have a Komodo dragon right here?
Oh, so I'm the bad guy because I kept her in a cage?
I'm a bad guy?
Yes, you are.
I love rhetorical questions that involve someone inventing their own guilt.
That's my favorite.
Oh, I shot you one time in the leg
and all of a sudden I've got to go to jail?
Yeah, that works.
It's an unlicensed weapon, so I'm a bad
Yes, you are.
I don't pay child support, so I
can't see my kids now?
No, you can't. And now you admitted
to not paying child support.
Off-Eyewitness reporter, that's Glenn Counts, was given a tour of the house on Monday by Yates
and saw the area where the stripper pole was removed as well as lockers for the young women to use.
You went full tilt into this.
Lockers.
Lockers means there's like locker chit-chat, too.
Like strippers hanging around the lockers.
What did you do last night?
Like getting dressed,
pulling up,
getting undressed.
Right.
Dominique, you gotta punch in
before you go up on stage.
You gotta punch in.
That's probably nice
that the strippers didn't have to use their backpacks.
No!
We have lockers for them.
Look, you don't want it stolen,
you put it in a locker.
And she wants to hang her shirt up
instead of folding it into a bag.
That's really thoughtful.
Yes.
Multiple law enforcement agencies raided this Buster's Strip Club.
If you've named it, you're going to get caught.
Don't name it.
Don't buy a neon sign either.
Just say, coming back to my house.
We're having a party on Bethesda Road in Statesville and said that they found drugs.
By the way, you could come up with so many better names than Buster's Strip Club.
Yeah, call it Bustee's at least.
Yes!
Just put a Y on there.
Get rid of that E-R-S.
The investigation began after community members sent in anonymous complaints.
The club was found in a garage behind the home.
Yates said he charged a $5 admission for the only reason to help pay the power bill.
What kind of complaints would they have?
Not enough lockers.
Yeah, they're very complaints.
Their shrimp cocktail sucks.
No ramp for wheelchairs.
Very few options in the buffet.
Someone sent OSHA over there?
Ton of OSHA violations.
It's been seven hours since our last injury.
Employees are not washing hands.
This is from a neighbor.
Anytime you're having drinking and stripping, you're going to have shooting and fighting.
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
By the way, that is a huge thing.
You can drink and strip without shooting anybody.
I know.
I want to live in a world where you can drink and strip without shooting or fighting anyone.
I know a guy that stripped the lacquer off of furniture and he drank all the time.
No problems at all.
No fighting, no shooting.
Great stripper.
I mean, one of the best strippers.
One of the best.
One of the best strippers you've ever seen.
One of the cleanest strippers you've ever seen.
You don't need stuff like that.
That guy stripped well into his 80s.
It's true.
By the way, he stripped to put himself through college.
Wouldn't even take tips.
Would not?
No.
Wouldn't even take tips.
Why are you doing this for my daughter?
Just let me do my job.
You don't need stuff like that not here around this neighborhood.
I would beg to differ with this neighbor because if it became that successful, maybe the neighborhood did need it.
There was a vacuum that he filled.
Yes.
Right.
And why are you calling a rural area a neighborhood?
Yeah.
There's nothing neighborhood-y about that.
After approaching
Channel 9's cameras,
Yates declined
an on-camera interview
but said the whole ordeal
is a misunderstanding
and that the pole inside
what he called
his man cave,
ready for this excuse?
I cannot wait to hear it.
The pole was only being used
by his wife and daughter
for exercise.
Oh!
Now, I believe that.
I believe in pole dancing,
exercise, and workouts. It's an amazing physical thing.
But I don't believe that it
goes in your garage with malt beverages
and a locker room.
My wife likes to drink
when she does her pole dancing.
And anytime you're going to have my wife exercising,
you're going to have drinking and shooting.
That's just how it goes.
Between wife and daughter.
Okay.
He would have been fine if he just said, guys, you got me.
That's it.
Brendan does not have this next picture to show you guys.
I do.
I will show it to you.
We'll also go up on the Facebook page.
All of a sudden in the article, they cut to this exterior photo of Mr. Yates' house.
And there's just an element that's like, what new story are we starting?
Ready?
Okay.
There's just a hearse.
There's just a hearse.
In front of his house.
There's just a hearse out in front of his house.
And by the way, it's not parked.
A hearse is not parked in a driveway.
No, it is on the lawn.
It is on the lawn.
It is up to the drive.
He's pulled up to the stoop.
That just screams strip club.
Okay, how am I going to know what strip club we're talking about?
When you just look for a hearse.
When you see the hearse, you come around back.
Right.
Just so you know, there's only two people who dance.
It's his wife and daughter, and they're exercising, but we're allowed to drink and pay $5 for the electric bill.
And if you start fighting and shooting, you've got to leave.
Right.
But we do have a hearse if someone dies.
The strippers come out of a casket.
Put your guns on the locker.
Yeah, guns on the locker, and we don't fight.
This is funny.
He said, this is Yates, that no drugs were found, but admitted moonshine was found,
and that he had been busted for moonshine before.
Moonshine?
Side note, I watched the news article report on this.
I don't know why they didn't include this.
After they talk about the moonshine, the reporter...
He goes and gets it.
Remember when we were in North Carolina and we were talking about moonshine?
Okay, we should tell that story in one second.
But you heard with Pert, I think is the character from Parks and Rec, the guy looks exactly
like him, and he goes,
I had some moonshine back here.
And then the news reporter, this is so North Carolina, goes,
well, everybody has moonshine.
And the guy goes, I know.
Everybody has moonshine.
That's the news reporter.
Everybody has moonshine.
I know.
I know, right?
I know.
Everyone's got a stripper pole.
Well, not everyone.
I mean, okay.
Okay.
Do you want to tell the quick story of you guys drinking moonshine?
Yeah.
Well, first we went to that barbecue place and she gave you, quote, moonshine, which was drinkable.
Yeah.
She gave us moonshine mixed with lemonade, which I could tolerate.
Right.
And then someone said, I've got a moonshine guy.
Like in North Carolina, people have moonshine guys.
Like people in New York used to have weed guys in like the 90s. You're right. I have a moonshine guy. In North Carolina, people have moonshine guys like people in New York used to have
weed guys in the 90s.
I have a moonshine guy.
What do you do? Well, he meets me here and he brings me
moonshine and then we have moonshine in our house.
I'm like, okay, well let's call a guy
up and have him meet us and we'll try it.
We had cameras rolling.
We kept a person's identity
and Randy and I go over. In a parking lot.
In a parking lot. He pulls up.
It's in a mason jar.
He gives us the thing in a mason jar.
We each drink it.
I swear to you, I can still taste it.
It was like if someone put metal into lighter fluid.
When they drank it at the barbecue place, they sipped it.
They're like, oh, no, that's too.
Is that like 100% alcohol?
Well, that was them at the barbecue. That was the thing mixed with lemonade. At the barbecue place, they were like, whoa, no, that's too, ooh, yeah. Is that like 100% alcohol? Well, that was them at the barbecue.
That was the thing mixed with lemonade.
At the barbecue place, they were like, I can't, whoa, that's tough.
I can't do that.
I watched them from afar.
They take the drink and it goes, out their mouth screaming.
I'm like, now you drank moonshine.
I'm like, have you ever spit something out of your mouth so much that you're now trying to get rid of your tongue?
That's what we were doing when we had actual moonshine.
And I'm like, I don't understand this.
But everyone has it, Jack.
Everyone has it.
How do you compare it to?
It was like if you drank rubbing alcohol, essentially.
You're like, I shouldn't drink that.
I just put this on salt.
Extremely potent rubbing alcohol.
Rubbing alcohol, but it had a metallic flavor to it.
It was, I was like, I'm doing damage to myself.
Like drinking a transformer.
Yes, or like you're drinking
alkaline battery fluid. That's what it felt like.
I was like, this can't be...
This can't be good for me at all.
Not to be taken internally.
Exactly.
We already love our lead character in the story, David Yates,
who I hope is related to Stephen Elton Yates,
a longtime fan of the show.
But enter my new favorite person.
Neighbor Tim Lindley told Channel 9 the illegal strip club didn't bother him.
Because he went to it.
Oh, wait for it.
And he's even been to Yates' home.
He said it was guys hanging out having a beer.
Now watch his quote to try.
This is his quote to try and cover his ass.

Tim Lindley.
I'm saying the whole thing.
Right.
This is his quote about.
I'll give you some truth.
This is his quote about the time he was in David Yates' house, and he is trying to cover his ass.
Ready?
Quote, I stayed in there maybe five, maybe six minutes, and I left.
It's just not for me.
It's not my kind of thing.
I'm not saying it's wrong.
I'm just saying for me, a good Christian church-going man.
It's not for me.
I'm just checking it out.
Not for the pole.
Five, six minutes time.
Remember, this is his full thing, guys.
He goes, it's just guys hanging out having a beer.
I was there maybe five, six minutes.
It's not for me.
I don't like it.
Guys just hanging out having a beer is not for you?
That's all that happened when I was there.
I maybe said hello.
I picked up a hanger I needed to borrow and I left.
Five, six minutes.
I can't handle people socializing and having fun.
I can't handle people just having a drink.
That's not for me.
I'm one of the strippers.
I was just there to do quality assurance check on that locker room.
They're in good order.
Yates is charged with selling alcoholic beverages without obtaining a license.
Is that wrong?
Yeah, it is wrong.
I'm the bad guy.
Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission.
These locations attract individuals who buy and sell illegal controlled substances, weapons, and violence and puts a strain on local law enforcement. The Shelf.
Meredith Shelf has never gotten the joke.
No.
You know what I mean?
There are people who are constantly being like, you don't see what's funny about this far side
cartoon. And Meredith Schoaf is like,
I don't get it. Meredith Schoaf is like, if you guys are done
screwing around, we gotta get back to work.
That duck can't be a sheriff.
That's impossible.
He's a duck.
I don't know why you guys read that Kathy cartoon.
She's never happy. Nobody sweats that much.
Schoaf me the money.
This is part of their initiative, which partners with local law enforcement to shut down these types of locations and improve the quality of life within a community.
So he got shut down.
He's not arrested, but they shut him down.
Shut him down.
