Hey Townies, welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town. Population U. Population U. It's you and us, population Weinbach, it's Brent Weinbach. Thanks buddy. Hey population, you. Population, you. It's you and us, population, Weinbach.

It's Brent Weinbach. Thanks, buddy. Hey, thank you. Welcome to town for having us. We love when we see you always out in the world. I feel like at festivals we see you all the time. We see you in green rooms, twin brothers. But the joy is really getting to hang with you

and watch you do comedy because there is nobody like you. And I think that's really one of the highest compliments we can give somebody that to build a unique, original voice in comedy is super hard, and you've done it. I mean, thanks, I'm just imitating 80s comedians. I'm just imitating Mark Curry and Harry Basil, Charles Fleischer, Dana Carvey.

The great Charles Fleischer, Mo Leeds. The great Charles Fleischer? Mo Leeds. Yeah, Mo Leeds, yeah. Seriously, I just copy comedians from the 80s. Good. What's funny is you do it really well. You nail it. You do it with confidence.

Everybody copies people, and then they make it their own eventually. Right, of course. So you copy people, I think, in the beginning. You emulate the people who make you laugh and then you start to figure out what you're doing. He's disproving your theory. He's making fun of me, I know.

No, no, no, no, no, I guess what I'm saying is, no thank you, and I think we're all unique and we're all special, but we all kind of are trying to emulate somebody I think. Who did you guys try to emulate as twins? Michael Jordan. No, so we had no. Michael Jordan and his twin brother.. Yeah Michael Jordan and Michael B Jordan

Both of them we knew that my good. No, it's funny because like there was some your shirt is loud today Thank you. And I know this is like come comedian on comedian like Reagan. This feels like a very geeky guy shirt Am I right? No, we we were You know a very geeky guy shirt, am I right? No, we were, you know who influenced us? The Beastie Boys. By the way, there were some good teams when we were younger. There were some like, when we first were coming in, there was a group, these two dudes called Premium Bob

in New York City, and they dressed in like UPS, almost like delivery man uniforms, and they. They were really funny. And they did. Very performance arty, and they would kind of build on each other in a unique way and that had an influence on us. Red Johnny and the round guy were like young guys who were doing it on MTV and we were like,

oh I love what they're doing and the energy was good. Smothers Brothers? Smothers Brothers we liked but we didn't love. Appreciate them but we're like, we're not gonna do that. I love their rhythm. One is the good guy and one's the dumb guy, the good by bad guy. That just didn't feel, resonate with us.

So, I mean, we truly were huge fans of the Beastie Boys. And we're like, I kinda like what they're doing. Like, they're fun and they're, I don't know. There was like something about them that made you wanna be a part of it. Were you guys ever hip hopsters? I mean, we loved. Hip hop music. Hip hop music. I don't think we ourselves were hip hopsters? I mean we loved hip hop music.

Hip hop music, I don't think we ourselves were hip hopsters. But I mean. You guys never sort of embraced an urbanite sort of persona. Maybe we did a little bit. We did in, not persona. Late 90s. Yeah, late 90s that was very much.

The fashion. Yeah, that was kind of like a cool vibe that we tapped into. You did, okay. A young vibe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think so. Big pants.

90s hip hop in New York was pretty fantastic. You had Notorious B.I.G., you had Tribe Called Quest, you had Jungle Brothers, Beastie Boys. And the Beasties were still putting out albums. Like, there was a lot of really good hip hop coming out of New York. You had Blondie. You had Blondie. Got 5 Freddie. The Velvetie. Got five, Freddie. The Velvet Underground.

All right, shall we jump into a story? Let's do it. This has got a dumb story sent to us and we've got Brent Weinbach who's got a new special. We'll talk about all that stuff at the top of segment two. Ready? Sent in by Adam Polt and the Poltski 75. Thank you, Adam.

Mule riding Kentucky man accused of unleashing raccoon in bar after being turned away. Now we gotta worry about that. This feels like a fable. Mule riding. If a man rides in on a modern day Don Quixote. Kentucky man unleashes raccoon in bar. It sounds almost like a Japanese folkloric story.

You know what I mean? Sure. It sounds like a parable. If man on mule unleashes raccoon in bar. Well now you're doing Confucius. Three more months of summer. Three more months of summer. If Man on Mule unleashes raccoon in bar, three more months of summer. Three more months. Wait, but so here's my question.

If he's quote unquote unleashing it in the bar, does he know what it's going to do? That's what I'm saying, that feels like a command. Like this is his like, choose your fighter. This is, you get the raccoon who comes in. Once upon a time in Hollywood, he just goes, and the raccoon goes crazy. Do you think he like, I don't know,

we're gonna find out about it. Murray, Kentucky. If he can do it by command, he definitely threatens people with it a lot. Or is he like a raccoon? You want me to come back here with my raccoon? I'll come back with the raccoon and do it. I mean, look, the reason I mentioned the Japanese thing

is that those tanookis or whatever, they're known for being tricksters, you know? Yeah, sure. Or something like that. And it's like, you have to watch known for being tricksters. Something like that. And it's like, you have to watch out for the raccoon. Yes. Yeah, I mean look. What's also on a mule.

Also like you're having a drink at a bar and you don't know, Dan, you worked as a bouncer at a bar. And if you're in the bar, you don't know what's happening in the front. Well who are you punishing? Right, you're punishing the poor people who are there who have no idea that this bar has turned this guy away. They're not in on front. Well who are you punishing? Like you're punishing the poor people who are there who have no idea that this bar has turned this guy away. They're not in on that.

I don't know, we don't know yet. I do feel like the raccoon loves to fight as much as the old man and the mule wants nothing to do with any of this. The raccoon's like you talking to me. The raccoon's like ready to go. And I feel like raccoons look like just cute little animals in oversized sweaters. Who wanna eat your garbage and bite you.

I'm now realizing how loud my shirt is given the fact that you guys are all wearing. Well, I'm sorry. Brent has a really bright. Brent. You're running the meeting. You have a very bright palette and you've always had that. A bright palette.

I think of, when I think of you, I think of a very bright. Wow, I feel like I've always been sort of muted. You know, I've always thought of your clothing as being out of view. You're bright. You're bright. Jay, you are bright, all right.

This is sort of balanced on this line. Okay, hold on, where did you say this is happening? Murray, Kentucky, WKRC. By the way, raccoons do classically look like bandits too. They do. All right, a Kentucky man knows.ically look like bandits too. They do. Alright, a Kentucky man. Or an escaped convict. Right, a Kentucky or the hamburger.

Something like that, yeah. Or it's like an escaped convict who's now a bandit. He has the prison clothes, the classic prison stripes, you know? And then the mask. Which by the way, there isn't high that much. Like if I saw a mask on someone I'd be able to identify you if the mask was off I saw a tic-tac of a somebody like there was like a cool ranch Dorito or some Dorito oh, yeah, and a raccoon came up to it to like to eat it and

Smelled it and then like fell over Yeah, I'm like you can't teach a raccoon Something in a Dorito that could knock him. There are videos out there with people taunting monkeys. Yeah. I don't like that. Where they're like, you want this? And they take it away from them. And I'm like, don't do that.

You're gonna get hit. You're gonna get hit. You deserve what happens. In other parts of the world, someone comes in with a monkey and drops it in there. Kentucky man known by locals. If you're known by locals as something that isn't your name, that's usually not good.

I go back to Jay going, these people in the bar have no idea. I think everyone in this bar knows this guy. Known by locals, if you're known by locals as something that isn't your name, that's usually not good. I go back to Jay going, these people in the bar have no idea, I think everyone in this bar knows this guy. Known by the locals as Cowboy Cody. Oh boy. Yep. Was taken into custody after he allegedly released a raccoon. He did it.

No, he did it. He's saying, I just opened the door and he went. Maybe the raccoon unleashed him. Right. Into a crowded bar on Friday. What an asshole, like why would you do this? Why? So I'm not gonna tell you how old he is,

we'll get to that. Jonathan Mason of Murray, Kentucky was arrested at police say released a raccoon in a bar which resulted in one person being bitten, of course. Yeah, the raccoon doesn't wanna be in there. You think a raccoon wants to like hang out in a bar? No, not at all. Terrified.

It's not their natural habitat. Officers with singles bar? Terrified. That's not their natural habitat. Officers with- Singles bar maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Officers with the Murray Police Department responded to the business at what time? What do we think? When did this happen?

8 p.m. Well it's crowded, right? Yeah. What about a bar? I say 8 p.m. It's gotta be, yeah, it gotta be the nighttime. I'm gonna go 10.30 p.m. 10.30 p.m., 8 p.m., what do you think?

Okay, well actually, I guess because you're asking us, it makes me think it's probably some weird time that you wouldn't imagine, that it is probably the morning. You know, it's 11, or something. I don't know when the bars are lit. Yeah, it's ID 11 a.m., Kentucky bar. It's a weird, like, Kentucky, yeah, it's like probably the morning.

A weird Kentucky, all right, all right. It's a cold Kentucky rain. All right, 9.18 p.m., sorry. Oh, okay. I made it seem like that. I had to deep everybody out. I said 8 p like that. I had teeped everybody out. Officers found Mason driving and initiated a traffic stop. So you'll get to the middle part later.

Suspect allegedly refused to roll his window down or exit the vehicle, which prompted officers to forcibly remove him. So if you pull someone over and they don't wanna put the window down, then you get to pull him out. You don't have to. You just have to crack it a little bit But I'm not putting it down at all at all gonna get in trouble Yeah, how do you think they try to have a conversation through the closed window, but that's the story of his life, right?

That's when one window closes a raccoon opens Later learn that someone had been bitten by a raccoon that Mason had previously warned not, he was warned not to enter the property. Mason was taken to Callaway County Jail and charged with the following according to police, assault, criminal trespassing, resisting arrest, failure to own and maintain required insurance. Nothing about the raccoon?

No, assault with a deadly raccoon. That's what it is. Or maybe like, you know, no license to carry a raccoon. To carry a deadly raccoon. That's what it is. Or maybe like, you know, no license to carry a raccoon. To carry a concealed raccoon. There is open raccoon carry in Kentucky. You know that, right? You can open carry a raccoon. Okay, but you still need a license, right? You still need a license.

And I think that license works for possums too. It's a three-day waiting period, but you can get around that. Guys, raccoons don't kill people, people kill people. It's an open carry critter license. It works for possums too. Mary Hafner, a bartender at the business involved in the incident, spoke to the New York Post, thank God the New York Post is in on this,

telling the publication that Mason had apparently quote, trapped a raccoon earlier in the day on his farm and he'd been carrying it around with him. He had been carrying with him. I'm a bartender so you know I've seen some crazy stuff in my time, like you know she has. Oh, her name's Hafner. Mary Hafner, she had her.

I saw a brother and sister punch each other in the face and then make out. But nothing like this, nothing like this. This is the limits of Hafner's experience right here. She's seen a lot. She explained to The Post that Mason lives alone on a farm. So she knows a lot about those. She knows a lot about those.

Everybody knew he lived alone. He's got other animals. Right. In the area and has caused trouble at local bars in the past. She said Mason had already been drinking when he turned up at the bar that day and was banned due to a previous incident involving a mule.

After I told the post that Mason always liked Mason always liked her. So she attempted to convince him to leave. So, you know, it's bad when someone shows up, get the woman that he likes, Mary, you got to deal with this. If you're Mary and you get that call Mary, you got to go deal with this. What are you thinking to your, why are you putting me out there like a sacrificial lamb? Yeah, I mean. To the raccoon. So she says it and he says to me, he said to me.

I think she should have said he says to me. I agree. Right? More cash. So he says to me. So he says to me. So he says to me. So I says.

So I says. So I says back to him. He said to me, oh oh I see how it is. Well I don't think you do, that's part of the problem how we got here in your life. Wait, this tells you everything you need to know about him and the way he interacts with her. Oh I see how it is, they sent a pretty face out here

to distract me. Oh, he's a little fresh. He's pissed off but he's not gonna deny beauty. Right, it's like even in the, even you can't distract me from my mission. You beautiful. He's seeing red, but he's also seeing hotness. Hafner told the publication,

adding that he initially appeared to comply with her request, so she got the job done. Yeah. Or did she? Or did she? So according to the publication, Mason allegedly returned to the bar moments later. So he put one over on Hafner where he was like, okay.

I'll leave, goes back to the truck, grabs the raccoon, brings it back. Looking over his shoulder the whole time, right? And then comes back to the raccoon, releases it into the establishment. Release me. It was more scared than anything, Hafner said, regarding the animal, of course.

Yeah, I hate that. Raccoon doesn't want to be in there. Hafner told the publication that another employee attempted to apprehend the raccoon No! by grabbing its tail Don't. and was consequently bitten by the animal.

Why are you grabbing a raccoon? Idiot. Also, broom it out the door. There's no animal grabbing by the tail is effective. Never. Broom it out the door. Which, so he was bitten and consequently, which required a rabies shot.

Isn't it like 17 shots in the stomach if you get bitten by a dog? Is that like some, we are 33 shots in the leg. After said she was able to corner the raccoon with a towel and safely return it outside. That's where you should have started with the towel. But they were right to get Mary Hefner on this job, whether it's the dude outside or the raccoon, she's the one you want. Are you ready for a great Mary Hafner quote?

And I know Brent Weinbach walked in here and said, please give me some good Mary Hafner quotes. You said that in your heart. I love Hafner. You love a good, you know what I drink in my coffee? Oh yeah, Hafner and Hafner. Hafner and Hafner, yeah. I'm no city slicker.

Oh no you're not. I'm a Kentucky girl. Yeah you you are I had no problem catching him this her patting herself on the back forget it Take it easy, but this only applies if you're in a city because in Kentucky Everyone in that bar is a Kentucky girl Everybody Kentucky girl and women everybody it doesn't matter. Mason is a Kentucky girl. It's very progressive.

By the way, is there a difference between raccoon rabies and, I don't know, dog rabies? Dog rabies? I don't know, I think it's all rabies. Raccoon rabies are more potent. No different. Raccoon rabies, do you start to get sort of darker eyes and stuff, or?

You know, like you get hit on the head and you get the things that make you look like a like black eyes. You look like a raccoon. Why do you look like Gregory Hines? Why are you digging through the dumpster? Do you think Gregory Hines looks like a raccoon? Dennis Johnson, no. No, his eyes had like this sort of dark circles around them and you're like, whoops.

Yeah, Jay, that's really racist. In December at all, that Mason was arrested after he turned up at tap 216, already drinking and riding a mule That's what it was tap 216. I gotta look this place up the station Reports states that Mason entered the bar and allegedly began whipping a bullwhip at other patrons. Oh, wow I mean He is he's a modern-day Kentucky Jones

He's an adventurer. He is, he's a modern day Kentucky Jones. He's a Jones, yeah, Kentucky Jones. Exactly, he's a Kentucky Jones. Mason was asked to leave. If you ask someone with a bullwhip to leave, don't expect them to leave. They're not gonna say okay. You can tell them to leave.

Yeah. If you've whipped at patrons, you're not gonna leave. No. He refused, he was later arrested. When speaking to authorities, local business owners said Mason had ridden the mule 15 miles into town to quote break him in. Adding that in all the years she's known Mason,

just don't be mean to animals. He's not been nice to animals, all right? The woman added, the more Mason becomes intoxicated, the worse the treatment of the animals. Well, that stands to reason. Which cited in documents in the report, animal control, he's appeared to be around The mule was not looking that healthy Mason was then taken to Callaway County jail later released after posting Bonner order to stay away For the mule and the bar like you got to stay away from everything. Yeah mule bar halfner

Raccoons did they call raccoon protective services? I should write that or even bullwhip protective school There should be a bullet protected services. We should right? Or even bullwhip protective services. Bullwhip protective services. We're here from Bullwhip Protective Services. We're here and not on you sir, but on behalf of the bullwhip. Anything involving an animal, bullwhips, bulls themselves. The following day, however, authorities responded to reports of intoxicated man riding a mule

in the area where Mason's had been stabled. According to the outlet, Mason was allegedly seen galloping down the road and tipping his hat to bystanders as they passed. Why? This guy's a showman, as you said, right? It's an old timey play. Yeah.

He is a, yeah, I mean, he seems like he is a Heston type of guy. An American hero. Or something, he's a hero. An icon. An icon. Yeah. Horrible to animals, but.

He's an all-Kentuckian girl. Right, exactly. It's like the straight story but he's an all he's an all Kentucky and girl right exactly Mason looks like the straight story, right? Yes, Mason allegedly fled officers on the mule. That's worse. He's not gonna stick around and get arrested Yeah, but so was eventually captured and he was taken into custody once again charged with fleeing and evading the police We're gonna take a look at him right now Here's a picture of Mason. You can see him.

on Delta plane. Why are people stowing away pigeons? Pigeon? Well they might have done it themselves. Or no, they stowed away on their own. Yeah, well. We're gonna get into it. I think so.

You think they stowed away on their own? Yeah. Very non-Delta-y. I think someone brought them on. I could see pigeons getting in there. Ha, damn, good one. Mike Tyson did love pigeons. Oh, he loved them, yeah.

He loved them. But I think that they would, it seems an easy way for, I mean, pigeons are the most, if a bird was gonna stow away, it was gonna be a pigeon, because they probably just flew in when they were changing the products

or the food and stuff or whatever. Pigeon pandemonium erupted on us. I always feel about when I'm in an airport you see like a small bird flying around. In the airport. Inside the airport. Doors are open. A lot of times.

They're big brooms. It's almost like they're actually still in the sky. It's like an aviary. Yeah, it is. It's not an apiary, it's an aviary. You just get a french fries in there. It's like a dove cove. It is.

I'll meet you over at the dove cove. Gate 10. Pigeon pandemonium erupted on a Delta flight from Minnesota to Wisconsin. Short flight. Short flight. I don't expect anything crazy to happen on this flight. Yeah, we're probably going Minneapolis to Milwaukee.

That's it. Our flight. Yeah, 45. When two birds took flight going Minneapolis to Milwaukee. That's it. Our flight. Yeah, 45. When two birds took flight in the passenger cabin. Oh my God. Tom Caw, a passenger from Dutch. Hold on. Tom what?

Caw! Caw! That sounds like a joke. Tom Caw! I mean, that doesn't seem real. I mean, that's if it's a crow. C-A-W. Tom, what's your last name?

Caw. Caw! You gotta say it normal. Say it twice. Tom, what's your last name? Tom Caw. You just say it normal. Say it twice. Tom, what's your last name? And then he's like, but you won't forget. And then he gives you a business card. Yeah, yeah. A passenger aboard Delta Flight 2348 from Minneapolis, St. Paul International

Airport to Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin. Madison, Wisconsin. Said the first pigeon flew through the passenger cabin during preparations for takeoff on Saturday. I would, if a bird flew through, I would lose my weight. Really? I like birds, but I would just be like, I can't, this is gonna now. I'd be like, there's four more minutes. It's already bad enough with the dogs and the cats on the plane.

I mean, now you've got something flying around. It could have been Tom Kau's emotional support pigeon, for all we know. Wait, what's his name Tom? Wait no say it normal call call so he's also Thai soup Oh that actually does sound that does Want the Tom cause spicy or not spicy? You're not Mild when you're sick Tom cause soup will should we get a're sick, Tom Ka soup will take care of you.

Should we get pho or Tom Ka? Tom Ka soup. The bird was removed. Actually, next time you order at a Thai restaurant, you should just go, yeah, I'll have the Tom Ka, Tom Ka. Let me get the Tom Ka. And we'll get a side of string beans or whatever. And they give you a filleted pigeon.

Pigeon? Pigeon, the bird was removed by baggage handlers, but a second pigeon came out of hiding once the plane left the terminal. Oh my God. Diabolical, right? Oh wow. It was on the floor strutting down the aisle.

Somebody near me reached down to try and grab it. That's when the chaos happened because the bird just launched into flight. Caught, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Oh my God. Caught, recorded the moment. A passenger. I thought you were just interjecting the sound and then I realized that's when you sang his name.

No, that's his last name. He recorded the moment a passenger nearly captured the pigeon with his jacket. I'm not putting my jacket on this thing. No way, dude. Not once. No way. I don't want disease in my jacket.

Also, the pigeon doesn't want to be in your jacket. Again, with the raccoon, I've just always worried so many people just don't know how to take care of an animal. Grab an animal. Or like how to like, the appropriate way to Don't grab it by its tail. Don't grab a pigeon by its tail.

You know. Poach a pigeon. We gotta get Tyson on the line for this one. Is this the one? Can we pipe him out? Mike? Mike are you in? He's always on.

He would know what to do, you know? He would know exactly how to get him there. Like, definitely he would know which type of peanut to like coax them with. Maybe you don't wanna grab them by the tail. They don't like that. They don't like when you grab them by the tail, Mike? How would you lure them?

What kind of food would you use? You probably wanna use some Tom-ka. Oh, Tom-ka. You use like some Thai soup. Thai soup, you know, they love that. They love Thai soup. Wow. Love they love that. They love Thai soup. Wow. I love it.

It's Thai soup. I didn't know that about. Actually, you know, that's my name is Thai. I was named after Thai, you know. Oh, okay. Thai son. Thai son. I'm the son of Thai.

Son of Thai. THAI. And there has to be a restaurant, because nobody loves a pun restaurant more than Thai places. Mike Tyson, and it's spelled T-A-I. THAI. Come on, somebody who's opening more than Thai places. Oh Mike Tyson and it's spelled T. AI there Hey, J. AI come on somebody who's opening a new Thai restaurant Mike Tyson's restaurant like Tyson's knockout My my yeah my Tyson and then just put a cup and they're like my Tyson or my Tyson My my my my son. Yeah, my my my son

Son he's like my My Thai son. My Thai son. My Thai son. My Thai son. That sounds like sitcom actually. My Thai son. He's like my Thai son. He's like my. My Thai son. He's my Thai son. Is that, you're just watching this? And it's Mike Tyson being adopted, moving to Thailand and being adopted

at a full adult age right now. He's my Thai son. And he opens up a restaurant called Knockout. Also there's Muay Thai boxing. Muay Thai son. Muay Thai son. He's a boxer too. It all works. It all comes together. M-U-Y-T-H-A-I-S-O-M. Muay Thai son. Muay Thai son's Muay Thai son. Muay Thai son, Muay Thai son's Muay Thai restaurant. So my Tyson my Tyson's my Tyson My Tyson Mike Tyson's Muay Thai restaurant. Okay. We got what if Tyson's son was just the pigeon to

Adopted the pigeon as in Thailand in Thailand. He went to Thailand, you know, and they go oh, but because it's Thailand It's really a girl pigeon. I'm just okay Kentucky girl prison. Thank you Carl recorded the moment a passenger really captured the pigeon with his jacket, the plane returned to the terminal and the pigeon was taken outside by the same baggage handlers who had lost the first avian. And you know there's somebody who needed to get to their destination so bad, they were like, leave it, leave it, it's a bird, it can go with us. We can get there.

Wait a second, did somebody on the plane say, it's a bird, it's a plane. It's on a plane. It's Mike Tyson. Koss said a flight attendant had asked passengers to check for any more feathered stowaways. Everybody started laughing, Koss said. I don't know if everyone needed to laugh at that. That's comedy. Then she waited for a second.

You have an airplane comedy. Airplane comedy is a different thing. It's like that from Tim Robinson from the Detroiters where he goes up to the pastor and he was like, hey, you wouldn't have gotten all those laughs if you weren't a pastor. That's right. It's like, if you weren't a Southwest. If this wasn't a wedding and you weren't a pastor,

that comedy wasn't that good. No, it wasn't that good. Everyone started laughing and then she waited a second and she said, okay, yes, it's funny, but seriously, check to see if there are any birds under your seats or in your bags. Guys, guys, guys, I know now is not the time to laugh. I know I'm hilarious.

We all can agree that I am hysteric. We are, delayed 45 minutes. I should go into comedy. It's clear that most of you are missing your connections because of this. It'd also be funny if there was a magician on the board who was actually checking to make sure. Oh, he's like, my doves, where are my doves?

He's financially ruined. Yeah, exactly. The flight finally took off in London and Madison how many minutes after its scheduled time? How much were they delayed by this? I'll stick with my joke 45. 45 what do you think? How much were they delayed on this flight? So they left they had to go back. And then do it again two hours. Wait they they left the terminal but they didn't take off. Yeah they taxied. Okay. Had to go back taxied and then there's other planes that are trying to get't take off. Yeah, they taxied. OK. Had to go back to the terminal. Taxied. And then there's other planes that are trying to get out of there. It was a big mess.

Let's go with three hours. I'd say two hours. Get your answers in, because they landed on Madison 56 minutes after. Dan, you were so close. Because I said he was just happy that the incident. Small airport, small airport. Not so much Minneapolis, but definitely shorter wait. Yeah, he was just happy.

They got the gates. The incident ended without injuries to humans or birds. My guess is the pigeons were tired of flying and wanted snacks, he wrote in his Instagram post. Stop speculating. That's not what they wanted. Just stop. I think a pigeon just wound up on the plane.

This is where he tries to be funny. They didn't know this flight to MSN is too short for Delta to offer beverage slash snack service. Now that was actually a funny joke. You're back on board. I'm gonna give him credit. That's like a very specific airline. Sounds to me like somebody's been watching

a lot of 80s stand-up. I mean, we're only going up and we're going down. Hey. Hey, speaking of 80s stand-up. Popular culture. Oh, check it out. But you know, also, that reminds me. Speaking of, you mentioned my brothers who are twins

Yes, you know they did stand up. Yeah on a plane once what yeah They asked if they could do it and just to see how you know how to go, but what it wasn't pretty well I mean you want the plane no, but I saw video of it though, and there is video of it And are they like I was on 9-eleven. Why would they what a weird time to choose to do that? Well, they were just trying to choose to do that. Well they were just trying to lighten the mood. It was after the planes had crashed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We need something to kick the band back to. Later that day, later that day. God. That's for any other flights. They wanted to distract people, get their minds off of diner stuff. You know the best part about their comedy on the plane, it was really grounded.

All right, let's take a break, we'll come back, Dan's got a story, give us a little taste of what we got. Haunted chair. Haunted. Or maybe not. Ooh, I love it, Brent Weibach's with us. It's Dumb People Town, it don't go anywhere. Stick around, make a sound, there's more Dumb People Town.

Vintage chair in Oxfam gives shoppers creeps thanks to suspicious note that was left on it. Signed by Carlene McDermott at... Should be Carlene. Someone wrote a note and left it on the chair and in by Carleen McDermott at, should be Carleen. Someone wrote a note and left it on the chair and people were like, I don't wanna. I thought you were gonna say, due to suspicious smells. Yeah.

And you know, as if emanating from the seat of the chair. That's possible too. I'll show you the chair in a second. A wing back chair, spotted in an Oxfam, how would you, is it O-X-F-M? Oxfam. Do you go to hard, eh? Oxfam. Oxfam. Do you go to the hard A?

Oxfam. Oxfam. Shop has sparked fear and amusement alike with customers harboring more than a few suspicions. Fear. Fear. If you're afraid of a chair, you got problems. You gotta calm down. You got problems.

You better pipe down. Depends on what's crawling around on that thing. About a sign that was placed on the chair the sign read or reads definitely not haunted I'm gonna show you this is reverse Chair, but if you're walking it's not a resale shop, and you see this definitely not haunted wouldn't you go? Oh, so it is haunted right to me. I look at that and I think oh, that's funny. It's a joke They should be working for an airline Or something like that yeah, it's in that middle seat. It's definitely not haunted

By the way, I you know sort of look like I think of it. I have thought of times I have been afraid of chairs really yeah, where when? Sometimes certain movie theater seats. Yeah stink yes, and like a bus or I remember that in college the Media resources library, people would be sitting in these chairs for hours and I would go in there and I kind of just get a little closer to this chair and it hits me and I smell it and I think, I'm scared of that chair.

Too much body on that chair. One time I was gonna get on a ride at an amusement park and the person who was in the seat before me, they got up and there was this condensation from there. No. I guess buttocks and legs and stuff. I was scared of that chair. You're scared of that chair.

That's haunted by, yeah, that's haunted by the ghost of the person who just sat there. Who was there. It was haunted by the moisture of the other person. Thank you. The striking piece of furniture was donated as part of a three-piece sofa and chair set and has a certain spooky style. Sofa not haunted.

Sofa not haunted. No. Chair definitely not haunted. Definitely not haunted. But this one, okay. The set was donated to a branch in Liverpool and quickly left members and staff divided as to whether it was gorgeously vintage or in need of some sort of immediate exorcism. I mean, does it-

You don't really have feelings about this chair. I know. Is it a chair that looks like Henry VIII? No, it's an old timey chair. As previously reported- oh go ahead Brian. No, just wipe it down. That's right. Wipe it down. As previously reported by the Liverpool Echo, manager Kira Adams thought the chair was absolutely

beautiful while deputy manager- they got a whole system here at this When was she deputized next year? Well, no no she is the manager. What is the deputy manager Rob? I know when is he deputant when was he dead he had some reservations believing it looks he can use he can use Deadly force he said quote this chair belongs in a haunted house Based on what Rob Rob? The vibe. Based on what? The vibe. There's no sounds coming from it or anything.

No. It's not creaking. It's not creaking. It's not creaking. It's not creaking. But I don't like about it. It's not creaking. But I don't like about it.

It already looks like it has webs on it. Like it looks, like the pattern and color sort of feels. Let me see that. Musky. Yeah. Yeah, there's just musty. You know, I guess when I- Musty. I guess I just, the other two stories were about animals and I was just thinking, you said webs and it made me start thinking about ducks and I just thought, let's get a duck

in that. Let's put a duck in this chair. All of a sudden everyone's like, what a friendly chair. Yeah, that chair's not haunted. It comes with this duck. Kira told the publication, to reassure my deputy manager, I printed a silly sign stating that the suite was definitely not haunted.

The sign has proven popular with customers, and I spotted one or two of them taking photos of it. But I was flabbergasted when Rob told me that he had seen the chair on Twitter and it had been liked by hundreds of thousands of people. Hundreds of thousands? Yes. Somebody put this picture up with the caption,

nice try, chair. And that caption combined with the photo. That is pretty funny. Yeah, I agree. Here's my question. Could you then put other signs on other things, like a vase definitely not racist for a vase? Yes.

It's vasist. It's vasist. Have you ever seen a vasist vase? A vasist, it's like you're just a bull, bitch. Marriages have definitely not fallen apart in this living room So oh, yeah, you're just a tall bowl and you'll that's all you'll ever be you basic bolt say go back to China Wow Just don't you were made

That's what you really are China By the way, I went to China once I saw the I saw the I saw the great wall Yeah, and it was just it was this big wall made of porcelain. Yeah, and they only take it out for special occasions See what we know that's not why I should work for airline. Yeah, you should You should work for air singapore I flew air Singapore once. Did you? So did I.

Pretty good. It was really good. It was actually one of the best. So this is the best. So we were flying on my honeymoon back from Bali, back to the United States, and there was a strike on Cathay Pacific, which is what we were supposed to fly on.

So they booked us on Air Singapore, and instead of flying the route we were gonna go, we were going through Singapore, then to Tokyo and back home. So we're on Air Singapore and we were, you know, we had used, spent all our money to go business class on Cathay Pacific and they're like, we're sorry for the inconvenience, we'll put you in first class in, on this international flight Air Singapore. So we go and there's like a, there's a footrest that gets rest that doesn't automatically come out, it gets like pulled out from under your chair. So I mean this is the type of flight where like

as you're drinking they're like pouring more into it as you're drinking, they don't even wait for you to stop. Sometimes in first class they don't leave you alone. No, they don't leave you alone. You also have to tell them like, I'm just gonna fly here. So this guy, so no, this guy goes. What do we have?

This guy goes down on his hands and knees to pull the... Cause your thing isn't coming. And you thought he became the ottoman and you put your feet on him? To my wife, I went and put my feet up like this and she's like, don't. I thought he was gonna be the foot rest. That is how much they care about customer service.

Unbelievable service. I'm like, I don't know how he's gonna do beverage from this position. This was the same flight where you went to the bathroom and yelled out the door, wipe me? No. Okay. Wipers.

What am I in the documentary, King of Kong? All right, there you go. No, we'll get on a super dumb silly thing just to close it out in a dumb funny way. How expensive? As in that writing, how many likes do you think that that social media post had? That one right there.

Yeah. On Instagram, what is it? It was just a picture of the chair and it said, nice try. Hundreds of thousands of views, I'm gonna say 20,000 likes. 20 likes? As of the writing, so she said hundreds of thousands

and then they wrote about it. Hundreds of thousands of likes before? She said it had been views 100,000 times, but that was before the writing. I think it's a million views at this point. And I don't know how that translates to likes, but I think it's in the millions of views at this point. Give me a million something.

Of likes? Of views. No likes. Of likes. I don't know how many likes. I don't know what the average is. Fine, let's just say that, and how many likes would have had the 100,000 mark?

We don't know. I would say if it was 100,000 views, of course. Yeah, I'd probably had that and how many likes would have had been with the hundred thousand mark? We don't know I would say it was a hundred thousand. Yeah, I probably had a sixty thousand like six thousand lights. Okay, I'm gonna go with So you gotta I'll go with five hundred thousand likes 250,000 like okay. I said 50. All right 1.4 million lights I mean it sometimes it's like we worry about it.
