Hey Towne Hey Townes welcome to another episode of Dumb People Town Population U Population Radcliffe Chloe Radcliffe It's me It's you

It is very stupid. Lowe. Very stupid. We get stupid. I mean, look, we ourselves are dumb. And we understand how dumb we are, but we also understand that the world is getting dumber at a rate. Some of us just ride a bike around New York City every single day.

To experience dumb and maybe even contribute. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I love to yell at people on my bike. And usually I am in the wrong. Oh, you're an aggressive, angry. I'm a overconfidence. I release my venom.

Right. Share the bridge. You're constantly. walking. Walk on the sidewalk. Oh, I know. Yeah. Get off the sidewalk. Walk on the street. Yeah. This is my sidewalk. Kill yourself. Leave the city for me.

Jump into traffic. She said that to a child. Cell year is yelling, cutting through as you go through a bodega. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't get off my bike in a bodega. You should never get off your bike in a bodega. Do you feel like a crazy bike messenger when you're just flying through the city? I feel like a superhero. Yeah. It's so good. Please stay safe. You make me worried about.

I always, I always wear a helmet and I never bike drunk and I don't. Don't bike drunk. That is a dumb people town thing. Yeah. To bike. And we talked about this. When we were in Houston, people rent those like electronic things. No, no.

It's something even like. Yeah, there's like a whole thing in downtown. I think they actually just banned them. There you go. I think they actually just banned them in Houston. Those crazy like, like at one in the morning, we're walking back to our hotel and they light up. And people are just, there's no, you look like you're in the Tupac, California video. Sorry, I'm really, I'm being hi-made it here.

I'm trying to figure out how to get it under my face. Under your face. There you go. There you go. Talk, talk. Wow. Yeah, nice. All right, Dan, should we jump into a story?

Because our friends send us these stories. Our friends, our listeners, our fans. You are our friends. You go to Twitter and do at Dana McCirk, at Sklar Brothers, and hashtag Dump PeopleTon. And that's how we know when you sent it. It's sent him by Komodo 9, the number at K-O-M-D-O. New 9-10 is their handle. I love it.

Takes place in Middletown, Ohio. Okay. That's so high. We're all Midwestern. So Ohio. Woman in cowsuit has been arrested many times. That's a whole story. Is it a cow one-sy?

That's a three-act show right there. That's just the headline. Woman in cow-suit has been arrested many times. There's really one day and maybe a pre-Saturday where you can just be out and about in a cow suit, unless you're getting paid for it. Halloween. Halloween and the Saturday prior. Or if you work for Chick-fil-A.

Right, and then you're getting paid for it. Eat more chicken. Yeah. Spelled backwards. I never understood that about Chick-fil-A. They just assume that cows can't spell. Yeah, yeah, they're kind of stupid. They're like, if you're in like a quick-trip gas station and somebody walks in in a cow

out. A suit. Yeah, a cow suit. You need to keep everything in front of you for the rest of that. Until they walk out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to have everything in your line of sight. Well, this is the thing.

this is the difference between the Midwest and New York is that in New York, in a bodega, somebody walks into the cow suit and you absolutely do not bat an eye. No, this is like normal. But you clock. Yeah, you clock. Yeah, you go, oh, the cow guy's back. Everyone's like, what's up, Guillermo?

He's like, this is the only way I can orgasm in this. This is the only way I can do it. You stop telling us, Guillermo, we know. The usual. You just want chickpeas. All right, fine. Fox 19, a middle town, that's Ohio, like I said, a middle town woman is behind bars,

charged with disorderly conduct after she was arrested while wearing a cowsuit. Probably not the only reason. She's behind the bars in the cow suit. Is she behind bars in the cow suit? Yeah. You usually get a striped suit in jail, but this time you get a spotted suit. Spot a suit. That's right.

Black and white still? It's an utter disgrace. Stop. I've heard of it. Come on, man. Stop. It happened Saturday in the 300 block of Wilbraham. Did I tell you I got a job writing for the New York Post?

I'm sorry. No, but I'm believing. Testing that stuff out. Police say Michelle Allen. Ellen, sounds like a clothing line. Wasn't she from fame? Was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing her cow suit. Wow.

A woman after my own heart. Can't scare the kids. Right. If you see a cow as a child, that's going to traumatize you for years. Most kids can't even handle the Easter bunny. Right. And that's like supposed to be a good time. You've seen that account, right?

Sorry. Oh, the account of like creepy Easter bunny photos. Threatening oras. Yes. You know that. I was going to say, I think these kids are like set for life around clowns. They're fine. Clowns are cool.

She's like acclimatizing them to clowns. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like the base camp of creepy. They're going to get to watch it all day. They'll see all that. Not a problem. So she was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing a cowsuit. She's also accused of urinating on a neighbor's front porch.

Wow. Through the cowsuit? You got to step out of that thing. Maybe there's like a little trap. Do you think she puts a little shewee inside the cow suit? You know, because cows peeing, they pee strong. They do. There's like a...

Women when they're drunk, piece, strong, quote Joe Coy. Is that a Joe Coy? Joe Coy? Wait, you're saying like a little tailgator pipe? Yeah, yeah. Like, just running a little funnel? Yeah, yeah. Does you call it a shewi?

A shiwi. Is that what it's called? That's a brand name. Come on. Chloe's an ambassador for a shooie. You guys in? You are? Just how she writes a price.

Tell us about, tell us how this works. So, okay, so picture a jockstrap. And then there's a little tube off the end. And then you can connect that tube to whatever you want. It's like a little con piece. Whatever you want to connect it to. I love this. You run it down your leg.

If you're a... Margarita machine? Female trucker. If you're a female trucker or you're at a ditty party, you just hook this thing up and then let it go. If you want. Now, that does beg the question, what are male truckers doing? Milled truckers are peeing in... Dressing as women.

Into like a Gator. Code Red Mountain Dew. Yeah. It's like a Code Red Mountain Dew or whatever, and you're filling those up. I've always been confused about peeing into a bottle. I've done it. Yeah. So, don't you...

Because when I'm picturing, I'm sitting here. I'm picturing my dick. I'm imagining that it has a bit of a, a bit of a upwards inclination. Not, not necessarily. Not if you're not aroused. You, you can use the, I've never seen it. You stick the bottle over the, over the hood. Over the thing that you're doing it like more of a hip tilt.

Ah, sure, okay. You need that down. Whatever. You can, yes, you can, you can use the body. to go downward and it will fill it. Do you ever get, you know how I've heard men talk about being nervous to pee around other men at the urinal? Oh, while you're driving? Do you ever, do you ever sort of get nervous around your job?

Have you ever peed in a bottle while driving? Yeah, of course. I think, unless you're like, this is part of your personality. Right. I think if you're at a bottle in the car level, it's happening. It's an emergency. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're past the point of state.

I don't care who's in this room. You're in crazy traffic, can't get off. there's a thing up ahead and you just can't do it. I'd pull over to the side. I would pull over the side of the road. The fear is big enough bottle. Right. Yes.

Because once it starts filling up. You're at three quarters and you're like, I still have a lot to go. You're like, oh, my God. Yeah, you're going to exercise that muscle. And that pinch is going to, oh, it's going to stink. It's really going to burn. You got to exercise that floor. Well, this lady, she feels great.

She doesn't feel a sting at all. No. She's like, I would do that on the porch. Do it in front of the kids? Don't you kind of want her to be on all fours when she doesn't. This is my New York. My New York Post headline of the sheep peed on the porch. She's not a porch pirate.

She's a porch pirate. I like that. You are going to, you're hired. Am I? New York Post. I love it. I'm happy to write all year. What if they let us do guess headlines?

Do you think she was just pretending that somebody was milking her? Maybe. So it comes out through the utter. Yeah. That's hilarious. Run the sheway through the udder. That also sounds like something. guy would or would just be like yeah he has like a pencil behind his ear and a tape measure he's like

what we're going to do we're going to run that shie we're right the utter let it come on out it's going to come out in a way that's going to scare the kids that's my point i want to scare the kids to the police report alan smelled strongly of alcohol and threatened the police officer well of course she's not going to go quietly into that good night i think it's a lot of like you want to go you want to go are we doing this fellas do you know who i am she's less of a bovine and more of a brovine this marks wait you can't take my now i work at the that was great so chloe the new york post is ridiculous in terms of pun it's the worst yeah yeah the worst yes it's so bad but but it's so bad so bad it's so good yeah well i mean police say this is the how manyth time she got how manyest and

how manyest which you sort of want to then why does it merit a news story? You know, why not wait for the next? Well, maybe she wasn't feeling like she wasn't, you know, on maybe third and fourth arrest, she wasn't getting enough pub. And so she's like, I'm going to have to up this with a cowsuit. Is her cowlis shorter after each arrest?

Do you know what I'm saying? Like, do they give her shorter leeway? Oh, just once you see her in the parking lot? Get her. Yeah, yeah. Take her. Get her, ma'am. Back in the barn.

Get her back. Someone left the barn doors open. You are our guest. Would you like to go first? You want to go last. And the guessing how many times she's been arrested? This marks the how many of the time. Oh, oh.

Oh. Oh. How many times she's been arrested? Yeah, including this one. As the cow. As in a cow. This is her like 12th. This is her seventh.

Eighth. Okay. Yeah. I think six. Okay. Fourth. Fourth from Jason. Six from Randy.

Eight from Chloe Radcliffe. This marks the 50th time. What? Come on. No. They know each other. At this point, in Ohio, in middle time. Ohio. They knew each other. First of all, they are related. So they knew each other before she started

putting the cowsuit up. Deb. Deb. Where are you going? The porch, Deb. Cousin, Debbie's out again. I got to go deal. I got to go pick her up. It's not even a police call. Jesus fucking Christ. I know. Your Aunt Michelle is on the freeway scaring kids again. Hey Michelle. Get away from me, Glenn. Even after 50 arrests. I told you not to bother me at work. This is from Major Mark Hoffman with the middle Telltime police. Even after 50 arrests, this was still a surprise.

What's it? How? How is it? Come on, Mark. You got to use some inference here. You knew who it was from the dispatcher. Yeah. And they knew who it was from the caller.

By the way, if you're sitting in the police car and you're waiting to get your assignment and you hear from the dispatcher, we've got a woman, it's Deb. Yeah. You don't even have to hear it's in a cow, or Michelle. You don't have to hear it's in a cow suit. Right. You don't have to hear she's terrorizing children and she's peeing on. Mark Furman thinks Mark Hoffman is an idiot.

Also, you got, if, I'm not trying to blame the first responders here, but after 50, it shouldn't be that hard to arrest her. No. We know what she likes to eat. Yep. We know what calms are down. Bag of Dorado. Bag of cool ranch Doritos. You have to all you just open them.

You don't think like a little stack of hay. A little stack of hay. A little stack of hay and some cool ranch Doritos. Come on. Just open the cool ranch. She smells it. She's going to start moving. Moving over to it.

Michelle Allen is bad. Go ahead. Do you think... She was in the cowsuit every time? You blame the person who sold her to the cowsuit? No, not at all. This is a cowsuit regulation issue. I'm sort of trying to figure out if there's a world where she can be in the

cowsuit and not hurt people, you know? No, like, once she's in. Like, can we put her out to pasture or something? Right. Let's literally... She's not in jail. She's happier out there. In the hinterlands of Ohio.

Yeah. That's her like sentences to have that sewn onto her body. So she becomes... Surgically implanted and you become a cow. Like to... You know, you can put a skin on like a Tesla and make it like... Or a car and make it a different cow. That's what they're going to do.

They put her cow skin on. Cow skin. Yeah. On her... Real leather. Yeah. Michelle Allen was also wearing the cowsuit when she appeared in court Tuesday morning and her antics didn't stop there.

No. According to Major Mark Hoffman, who at this point I hope his first name is Major. Major Markovman. Any Major Markov? She got up. It's a great movie. She got up to the court and was challenging people in the courtroom to suck her udders. That's good.

That is good work. I really like that. Suck my utter. And she's doing this motion. If you got on jury duty and she's like suck my udders. You're like, I'm here. Yeah, yeah. I'm here and I'm in support of her.

I'm in. Yeah. You just, you just want of them. I and the good people at the New York Post like the work that she's doing. It's utterly amazing. Investigators say they now know why she was. dressed up. Oh, yeah? There's a reason.

You tell. Major Mark said, Major Mark said, we think that she may have been engaged in some promotional activities, a local haunted trail. There was another employee from the haunted trail that came to repossess the cow mask. So someone hired

her, and she just half heard, you need to run around and scare a whole bunch of people. She's method. She's method. I mean, she took it way too far. She's the Daniel Day Lewis of couch pissing. Or porch pissing. I drink your milk. There's probably a couch on the porch.

Drink your milk. We're not going to we're not going to think better than that. We are not going to do that. I can shoot it out. There will be menstrual blood. Okay. It will be.

Let's be honest. That's if you go too long without milk in. A whole month. It's been 20. It's been really uncomfortable. She's a couple months. Yeah, exactly. Imagine that training.

All right. So what do I do? We need you. it's a haunted trail. So you're just promoting the haunted trail and I scare people? I mean, yeah, that's part of it. But that's not really,

we just want to let people know about it. But if I scare people, I'm telling people. Have fun with it, Michelle. And how wild can I get with this? You go nuts off there. I don't understand what, sorry, I didn't, I really, I really stopped that riff.

I don't care. I don't understand. Why a cow. It would be scary. Would be scary at all. And you know what, honestly, the only way to make a cow scary is to make Michelle run around in it 50 times. Drunk.

I would actually say she is benefiting. She is upping the fear factor. 100%. The vetting of employees by the haunted trail, I'm going to say, not great. Hey, do you have any prior arrests? 49? Are you good with interacting with other people? Depends on the context.

Are you drunk right now? You bet your ass. Give me that mask. You get out there. You get out there. You start scaring these kids. On the haunted trail? No, around town.

Now get moving. Oh. God damn it. Yeah, hoof it. Huff it out of it. Hove it out of here. Alan is in Middletown jail. Police say she utterly refuses to move out of her outfit.

They literally put multiple O's in moving. Yeah, they would. We'll get out of here on this. How long was her sentence for peeing on a porch, getting arrested for the 50th time Porch period Resisting an officer And scaring kids

How long? Chloe, you can go first You can go last Anybody can jump in Three days Three days I want there to be a version Of ground control

To major mark It's a major town Here we go I think A month A month 20 years to life Okay

I don't know How long do cows live Is like The life of a cow. I mean, a lot of times we kill him. I know, but like, if a cow, a cow in India would live how long. If this is India, if this was India, she would not be able to get the death penalty. No.

What are you going to go with? Come on. We got, what do you say? I said a month. Okay. Six months. Six months. You're in 30 or 31 on that?

30 days. I just need to know. You might go 28. You might throw a curve ball. It's a 30 day. Okay. Okay. What did you say?

Six months. Six months. 30 days. 30 days. Three days. Three days. Three days. One of you is exactly right.

So now we get to play the game. Who do you think is right? You can stay with your own answer. You can jump on to somebody else's lily pad. I'm staying with my answer. I'm sticking it. I'm staying with my answer. Okay.

We all stay put. She refuses to move out of her outfit and is currently in the middle town jail serving a 30-day sentence. Yeah. Yeah. Randy's up next. We come back. I'll tell you what I got going on.

This episode is brought to you By better help I'm so happy it is because stress right now financially related stress is one of the most difficult things First of all Americans are feeling some level of financial stress

at the beginning of 2026 I can tell you it comes from many ways I'm feeling it from many fronts right now I got two kids in college That's expensive All right they're just students They're doing the best they can but it's just all my money is going out the door.

Go to Daniel vancirk.com. In April, I am going to be in Raleigh, North Carolina with our buddy Hayes Palmer. I am also going to be in Wilmington at the Dead Crow Comedy Club. I'll be in North Liberty, Iowa. And then in May, Netflix is a joke. My show is on May 6th at 10 o'clock, hotel cafe. Come on out to that. And then I'll also be in Charlotte in May.

And then I have a whole bunch of dates for June and July and August, all the way into October. A whole bunch more is being added. Everything's at Daniel Van Kirk.com. All right, Chloe, talk to us. You shot a special. Where did you shot in Denver. Took it out behind the barn and shot it.

Shot it. Yeah. Get that cow out there and shoot it. took it on the porch and you beat it. Denver Comedy Underground. Beautiful place in a wonderful time. When did you shoot it? Are you happy with it? And how long did it take you to develop the material for this?

Shot it in December. Very happy with it. It's the first time I've ever shot something. So I've been doing stand-up for 10 years. And so this is, you know, this is material that I have been working on. Some of the jokes are old. Some of the jokes are like. Yeah, this is your first.

Eight years old. Great. But I would say at least. 30% if not maybe up to 40% is brand new in the last two months right before we shot the special. And some of it, I mean, some of it is like literally I did not say this joke out loud

until the very first time I ever said this on stage was October 10th and then I shot it December 8th. And it's like one of the, I mean, it's one of my favorite things in the special. And then there's a bunch of chunks that were like so dramatically rewritten that they are functionally new. And what's funny is that now I've been going on the road after. And so I'll do, I'll sort of pepper in, basically the stuff that was new for the special I can still do on the road because it's still new to the people on the road.

And I haven't put it on the line. And so now, of course, I'm like finding other nuances in that material. I knew you were going to go there. Here's my thing to you about this because we've done this too. And especially if you put a new bit in there. Right. The special is a snapshot in time. It is not like this is the finish bit and that's it.

You can continue to do it, especially if you find new avenues and you might find another three minutes on one thing that didn't exist before. And I think that's cool because then if people see your special and then they come out and see you, they're going to see that, but then see where it grew to.

Okay, this makes me feel about it. And I think that's good. Yeah, I just don't think, I think there are very few comics, maybe a couple who, uh, they have to retire their material after every, special. I think it's more cycling

in and out, especially if you keep developing. If you keep developing a bit, then it's worth showing them new. And by the way, you can say, hey, I don't know if anybody saw my special I was talking about this and I talked about this on my special joke, joke, joke, joke, joke. What I've realized since then is da-da-da-da. Yeah. You give yourself the context.

Yeah, that's a great call. Yeah, there's, the thing that you're saying about it's a snapshot in time is more so even than the material as it changes. I watch myself on tape and I'm like, oh, that's so funny. I can see, I can see myself be like, I am being filmed right now. Oh, you felt that. I don't think that other people see that.

They won't. I see it. Of course. And I just had a really, a very, very long conversation with a dear friend of mine. Do you know Turner Barron? Mm-mm. In Minneapolis stand up, who I came up with. and he was just like, it has to be about how do you represent that show that night?

Correct. The best. That's right. And I'm so happy with it. Great. And it is difficult. Sure. You're saying you're a comment.

How much, no, you're sure, cheat, right? How much did cheat inform this? There is no. Because you did that at Edinburgh, right? Correct. There's one punchline overlap. I just meant even like creatively. You were like, oh, this sort of put me in some other spaces

where I'm like, I want to talk about this. Yeah, basically, I don't know. I mean, certainly like chicken or egg, they definitely inform each other. But basically it's that like between cheat, which is a solo show about how I have a history of cheating in almost all of my relationships. Nice.

Thank you for having me on your podcast. You're going to go do another podcast in like my podcast. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, shot, shot. You're not supposed to know about it. Come on, man.

And the show does not condone cheating. I think cheating is always bad. I think it always heard somebody. And I think it happens all the time. And nobody wants to talk about it. Anyway, so that solo show is 75 minutes. And then this hour was 65 minutes. And basically, it all, that sum total, whatever that is, two hours, is so, so palpably from the same person.

And it's just that some of it can stand alone and doesn't necessarily have to do with, infidelity. But like stuff that is in this hour, I talk about like I always fell in love with the potential of a person. And one of my favorite, but also the scariest jokes that I'm, that I have in the hour special that's not in cheat is I talk about falling in love with the potential and yada, yeah, yeah, it's a very fun bit. And then I go, I used to think it was good, but now I actually think that falling in love with the potential of a person was always a bad sign about how I felt about myself. And I think that falling in love with the potential is a powerful cocktail of two ingredients. Ingredient number one,

the deep belief that you are unlovable, that the worst part of you is so much worse than anybody knows, and that if they get close enough to see, they will be horrified and they will walk. And I say that, and then I sit in silence for like truly 15 seconds, and then I go, and ingredient number two,

this guy works where I work. That's so great. It's one of my favorite jokes. And it's the kind of... I didn't see that coming. The other one up. I love that. Thank you. I love it. And it's the kind of thing that, like, would It's so neatly fit in this show about infidelity.

But it's such a good stand-up bit. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. And it just, like, didn't have a place on the show. Because they're like, oh, this works more theatrically when they do their two-man show versus like, oh, this is a, that's a stand-up joke. Yeah. Yeah. That's so good.

I love it. So your voice is developed over the course of these two hours. Totally. Totally. Totally. Yeah. Well, everybody needs to be on the look at for it. All right.

So it'll be coming out later this year. Yes. You don't have a title for it yet. You're working on that. Correct. Okay. I mean, I have. I have the working title is dibs.

Dibbs. I love it. Simple, easy. Chloe Radcliffe, Dibs. All right, keep an eye out for it. Follow her on social media. I'm sure if we follow on Instagram, you're going to start announcing when it's coming and where and how to consume it.

I know you're shopping around right now. I hope it finds home. All right. Let's jump in the story too. Sent in by Sean Anderson at Sean S-H-A-W-N-E-70. All right, here you go. Viral phenomenon in Argentina has young people identifying themselves as animals. I haven't heard about this at all.

On a recent Sunday, a Buenos Aires plaza transformed into a makeshift wilderness for an unusual group of teenagers. But this isn't furries. No, this is linked to the fur story. Yeah, she identified as a drunk cow. A youth jumps over other therians, people who say they identify as non-humans, that's a picture. Okay, here we go. On recent Sunday of Buenos Aires, there they are. There they are.

Just jumping. I would watch this for hours. Sophia wearing a life-like beagle mask ran across the grass on all fours. Nearby, 15-year-old Aguara leapt through the air, clearing an obstacle course while imitating precise movements of a Belgian breed dog. Others dressed like cats and foxes perched in branches of trees keeping their distance from curious onlookers. Boy, oh boy. Right? This is wonderful. This is the sort of thing, Ryan, where you're in a city for a weekend, doing shows.

and you walk around on a Saturday. And you see this. And you got five minutes. Yo, easy. Dan, you have a whole ten years. It's got a closer. It's almost because you, it's one of those moments where you see something in a city where then you're going to start that bit by really needing the audience's help on how this is a thing here.

So let me. This is, the other thing about this, though, is this is the kind of thing that certain sections of our society get so mad about. I was watching their pearls for no reason. Yeah, for no reason. Oh, so we're going to just let them do this. now? This is what kids are doing now? It's like, yeah, kids

do that for a year, and then they're not into it anymore. That's what kids have an attention to have a goldfish. You want a kid dressed like a fox to be hanging out of a tree, or do you want five kids, you old person standing there

complaining about this shit? Do you want five kids to be skateboarding by the entrance of you trying to go in and go grocery shopping? I guarantee you, you'd be like, get the fox in the Put the mask on. Yeah. Put the mask on and go to the fight.

Do you want a bunch of kids jumping around like Dawson gets here? Or do you want some senior on a water polo team finger blasting a freshman just against his will? I mean, I'm going to. Like, what do we want? I'm going to say this. She says number two. Those are two separate kids. Those are two separate kids.

But I'm just also going to. Those social groups will never overlap. I agree. But I'm like, that's the thing you should be putting your outrage out and protecting them. But it's like, the Republicans love finger blasting. I love, I love the thing. I love the idea that people get so mad at this stuff.

Man of things that don't affect them. Also, when they say, like, it's the same people who are like, kids aren't out inside anymore. Kids have lost their ability to imagine and have fun. And then they do it. And then they go, well, you're not, don't do it like that. I don't want you to.

And it's like, shut. Go play stick ball. This is their stick ball. Throw a stick and they go get it. This is a bunch of kids who just go. Yeah, they're fetching. They don't want to think about anything. Fetching.

You know what's not in the picture. They are quite fed ball. Catching. Do you know what's in none of their hands? A cell phone. Right, that's right. Or a gun. Out in the world.

Yeah. Well, no, no, they might be holstered. You can steal carry. Some kids identify as hunters. I'll take these kids up. The trend is taken over Argentina's social media over the past few months, gaining traction on platforms like TikTok, where the hashtag Therian has surpassed. How many posts?

How many posts do you think? How many posts have the hashtag Therian? Surpassed. In the past couple months. 10,000? 10,000? What do you think? 300,000.

Yeah, I'm going to go half a mill. two million. Wow. With Argentina leading all Latin other Latin American countries and engagement, the surge has drawn attention. You know what else?

I have two daughters and they're in college. You know what else just running around like a cat or a dog in a park? It costs no money. They're not spending money. And as far as we can tell so far,

also not a cult. No. Also not vaping. Some cult-like things with the masks and stuff, but currently not a cult. It's good for me to hear you guys articulate why this is a totally like nice harmless thing because my reaction was like Jesus fucking Christ these

fucking freaks I know also also yes you can also be like it's a little weird you can say 100% but I'm not trying to stop them I mean also I could be like I wouldn't do it but I'm grateful my kids aren't doing it but who gives a shit yeah yeah who gives the shit I think what I can identify that I'm reacting to is I'm like these kids sound annoying right well oh and if you're in that part trying to read a book especially if you got if you're not even I mean like if I'm at a family dinner and this kid shows up. And I'm like, oh, my, fuck. Especially if it's like a small yippy kid.

Yeah. I don't like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn't even count as a kid. Like a Yorkshire. If you're a kid acting like that, we're putting you outside. He's trying to rub up against your leg underneath the table. Off, off, get off.

Hey, the surgeon is drawing the intention of influencers and media like, sparking reactions in a range of laughter, bewilderment to outright anger. This movement gains traction. Psychologists are stepping in, thank God, to analyze a phenomenon in its place in public discourse. Agora, who claims to identify as a Belgian malinois, malinois, and recounts her age as equivalent of two years and two months in dog years, says she's not like any of a teenager. I wake up like a normal person and live my life like a normal person.

I simply have moments when I like being a dog. Who cares? As the leader of what she says, of what she calls her PAC, Agora, is the name she identifies with boasts more than how many followers on TikTok and this is going to piss you off because we're like out there hammering away with like comedy clips and like Is this 3 million?

Yeah but she's in the algorithm She's in the center of the algorithm She's in the dogger Oh and also she's in a niche fan base Yes How many followers you think? You said 3 million? Also by the way she farts in jars

and sells them to people That's another thing I'm going to go but maybe I'm going to go 800,000 400,000 And you said 3 million? Yeah

All right, it's $125,000, but that still pisses me out. And so she does regular meetups around the Argentine capital. Who cares? Aru, a 16-year-old who wore a seal mask to the park, and that's just the mask of seal. Well, context, that doesn't mean sense. Also, not in a park. Yeah. It doesn't count as blackface, though.

It does not kind of blackface. They're wearing a seal. You identify as a seal. This 16-year-old also dumped Heidi Klum, which I think which is a call. You know what? She had it coming. says she consider herself as part of the other paw branch of Therians, individuals who wear masks and tails,

or move on all fours for fun. These are going to fight. These groups are going to fight. Just mask. I don't get that. So there's just mask. And then there's mask and tail. Right, there's mask and tail.

She reckons. Mask and tail does sound like the sketch group at Harvard. Yes. I can't believe this thing about Argentina. She reckons the Therian trend. And she reckons, what is she part of the old West? That's our author. In like 1895, I reckon this whole thing.

She reckons the Therian trend took off in Argentina because the country's fairly free environment. Wonderful. For other young Argentines, the movement has provided a vital community where they can feel truly accepted. Why is it's a bad thing? The biggest problem right now is loneliness of people and they're not connected people. This is wonderful. Right. And Jason said, in six years, three years, four of these, four of these people are going to be over.

people are going to still be doing this. And six of them will... Like, are we done with Labuboos yet? Yeah, Labubos are done. See? It's all going to be over. Just money's... Just let people do their shit.

Everything's done. Pokemon go, Pokemon went. All right. Well, not the cards. That's true. Should parents be worried? Deborah Pides, a psychologist and director of the Integral Therapeutic Center in Buenos Aires, acknowledged that the phenomenon generates a complex mix of confusion last year and

anger from a psychological standpoint. This is a symbolic identification with an animal. animal. It becomes pathological or alarming only when it turns into deeply rooted belief and the person fully assumes a role as an animal potentially leading to self-harm or hurting others. So as long as the person says, I wake up as a... We all can identify. Let's give ourselves some credit. We all can identify when someone has gone too far with saying they're an animal. I don't think anyone is going to have trouble, understanding when the kid is just having fun with their other animal friends or when they

they start eating their food out of a bowl on the ground when no one's watching. Oh, these kids are already eating their food out of a bowl. Do you think so? When no one's watching? Yes, 100%. You think there are all fours on the ground eating them. I really wonder from a real like psychological standpoint. These kids are having, these kids are, they are doing this for themselves, which means

that they don't need somebody to be watching. I mean, the only time I would get angry is if my kid had a headache and I had to massage an Advil down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Totally. I wonder, I'll wrap it in a thing of cheese. From a psychological standpoint, how much this is a reaction to, like, we are tribe animals that, like, with everything, like, being stripped away of, like, online classes and

everything's digital and everything's your screen, like, how much people are just trying to find a connection? Like, if you're not in sports, you're a kid who doesn't play sports, you probably are like, well, where's my tribe? Like, where's my connection? Because so many of those things have, like, gone away. So it just morphs into these weird, I don't want to say the word perversions, but just, like, examples of people.

being like, this is how we became a group. Oh, also, like, the internet means that we are exposed, we can be exposed to so many weirder niche things, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then find a community for that. This would have been one kid wearing a fox mask. Right. But if someone can get 125,000 followers, then it gives you status, which elevates your status. I want to see that kid's brand deals.

Right, but also. But here's my thing. This is going to create fights between the parents, because they'll be like, did you walk David today? No, I didn't walk David. David, you watch me wake up, you watch me go to work, you watch me come home, when am I going to walk David? Well, if he doesn't walk today, you got to run him.

Take him to the kid park. Take him to the kid run. In their teen years, you don't normally... He's got to be neutered before he can go in the kid. Somebody suck his balls out with the back. In their back. You normally don't have to yell to people on the street. He bites.

He bites. He bites. He bites. He's, listen, he's great. He's great with other dogs. He's terrible with people. He's just reacting. Let him smell your... He probably smells my kid.

Let him smell the back of your hand first. He smells my kid. I'm not adopted. rescued. Who rescued who? Who rescued who is what the kid winds up barking at someone. Which, by the way, is bad English. It should be who rescued whom. All right, can we just get this right?

Get it right, bitches. I love that Jay's claiming it's bad English to someone in Buenos Aires who speaks Spanish. That is story. Story number two down in the books. When we come back, we'll tell you what we have going on. Jay gave a little tease of what story number three is. We have a man who gets too aggressive when he's trying to take out an insect. All right, so this is an all...

We're in the animal kingdom today with the great Chloe Radcliffe who's got a new special that she recorded. I'm going to say it might be called dibs. You got to follow her on social media. She's got dibs on that title. At Chloe Radcliffe, right? At Chloe Badcliffe. Oh, like my last day, Radcliffe, but Bad. Not Rad meaning rad, but Rad meaning bad.

Rad meaning bad. All right. We'll be right back segment three with Chloe Radcliffe. Stick around. Make a sound. Come here down. It's dumb people town. Hey gang, welcome back to the show. Before we jump into our stuff, we should let you know. to be at Moon Tower Comedy Festival, which we love, love, love, end of April. Then we're doing our Netflix as a joke show, Tag It, which will be on, sadly, the same day as Dan's show. I think there's plenty. There's some probably, you can come see. Have you done it?

My Netflix is a joke show is on the same day. It's on. May 6th at 9. It's at 9.30. It's a ton. See a little bit of everybody show. Yeah, yeah. Have you done Tag it yet?

Have you done that show of ours? Oh, are we trying to get her to do it? No, I would pass on her. No, I would pass on her. We will have you. Have you heard the cheating stuff? It's super fun. Yeah.

So we're, I'm going to bring, I'm going to cheat in the tag. So on the show, it's like a great like a group of people that we have on the show. Our friend Sheeds who did this show. She's on it, Jenna Friedman, Ian Carmel. Jonah Ray is going to be on it. Rob Hayes and Morgan Jay. So super fun show. Crazy lineup, but probably will sell out, we hope.

Where is it? It's FCB Franklin. Yeah, it's going to be fun. I was really, I didn't even mean to serve it up to you like that. Yeah, we got it. Thank you. Appreciate that. And then we're doing a little tour of the South.

We're going to go back to in the middle of May, like May 13, 14, 15, 16. And then Cobbs in Mobile, Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Baton Rouge. And then we'll be at Cobbs in the middle of June. In San Francisco. Also, we just dropped Don't Tell set. It's out there on YouTube and we're putting clips online. So follow us at Sklar Brothers and watch it. And watch it.

13 minutes long. Share it with friends. We love it. Give it nice comments that moves it up in the other. All right, Jay. Are they sent in by Jay at Dance Dad 9-1-1, which I would watch. Dance Dads 911. I got an emergency.

My kid's not dancing. They're dance dads. This is what I wrote. Oh, go. Well, I was like, we need more dancing. 911. We need, we don't have enough dancing. This is 911.

What is your problem? And you're the dance dad. We need more dancing. They are dance dads who push their young daughters to be the best and have them put on fake eyelashes and tons of makeup. but also while they're in ballet class, they answer 911 calls. So I think the dads also...

Sure. Because you can't really do much when they're in the class. I know. There's a lot of time. Okay. Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania. All right.

I want to live there. Poconio Pines, Pennsylvania? W. KRC. A man allegedly set multiple fires in his home to kill spiders, sparking a large fire that spread to his neighbor's homes and caused considerable damage. Oh, my God.

But I bet. a lot of spiders died. Right. A lot of good, we lost a lot of good spiders that day. I'm saying he accomplished a lot of his goals. Mission accomplished. That's what we're trying to say.

Officers were dispatched to a home around what time. What time do you think the officers were like, get over here? Two. He's lighten two. Oh, I'm going to go three p.m. Yeah, I was going during the day. Pick it. At one p.m.

1 p.m., three p.m. 2 a.m. Try 6 p.m. Yeah. Dinner hour. Yeah. You're going to make them go through traffic to get to this? Well, he said all day when I get home from work.

I'm going to kill them. I'm going to torch these. I'm done with these motherfuckers. I'm going to torch these. I'm tired of all these motherfuckin spiders and this motherfucking house. On Monday, regarding a large fire that was already spreading from the townhouse it began into three adjacent units. If you're in a townhouse, pretty tough to start a fire in the corner. Yeah, that's cold.

You know, they have those in glass houses should not throw stones. Those in townhouses should not start fires. Yeah. Those in attached buildings. Yes. You gave it up. Idiot. Jay, you shared a wall on your first house with your neighbor.

Oh, my God. And like that was because it was like a Japanese designed home that the person who designed it was the architect. He actually lived there. He designed it for him and his best friend's families. He had his students at UCLA designed it for him and his best friend to live sort of a communal two family living style. But then he left and the other family left and then it was two separate people. And we were like hearing these people's argument, this couple. Is it paper thin walls?

I mean, it wasn't paper thin walls, but outside, there was a courtyard that we, in the back where it was kind of almost a thin thing in between two sides and we're like listening to them with their doors open arguing all the time. And did you have any concerns about this going into it? We didn't. Did you sort of, had you clocked it? You didn't think about it. We didn't think about it because we were like, oh my God, we can afford this house. Did you start a fire? I was ready to start a fire.

If I would have. You couldn't, you know, start a fire, not the way to get rid of spiders. No. Fire, not the way to get rid of any. I mean, I, Nats, smoke, mosquitoes. There's a fire. Citrella can't.

Citronella, she's right. Citarella, the grocery store. Cisterrella. Mosquitoes hate. Caterallas, they bars candles and Citrella game. You know what, mosquitoes hate, hate white fish salad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A good, a good white fish.

Yeah. A witness told investigators that a resident identified as, this is the most this guy's name. Like, if I just said his name separate, without even telling you this story, you'd be like, he tried to burn his house down by... Yeah, he's lighting fires to get riddening.

Sean McDermott. Sean McDermott. Sean McDermott is ruining the entire townhouse. Was lighting small fires in his house throughout the day, authority said. With a W? What?

S-J-W-N? S-E-A-N. S-E-A-N. I was picturing W. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was lighting small fires in the house throughout the day, authority said. McDermott allegedly told witnesses that he was attempting to kill spiders

in his house. I'm guessing there were no spiders. Also, he's too dumb to tell people, to not tell people. Now, like, to keep that shit to yourself, but like, I don't know what happened. Well, I guess when they find, when they find remnants of the, of the... Burnt carpet. Yeah, but make them find it. Don't serve it up. You're walking out of allspy. I'm like,

guys, I did it. I thought I'd kill spiders. Shut up. It was me. I'm trying to picture, like, what the little Tinder build looked like, you know? Was it a blow to, it had to be blow torch. Yeah, we're going hairspray lighter. Yeah, hairspray lighter. Yeah, okay. But after the first fire, wasn't it multiple fires in the house?

You're not picturing like cozy little fireplace, like a little, like a little spider-sized fireplace. But after the first fire, stop. You like a tiny little mantle? This is so funny. Put the pictures of the spider's family of their hundreds of thousands of kids on the mantle and then you lighted on fire. That's what he did. A major fire broke out after McDermott lit a smoldering fire on his floor and placed a love seat on top of it. Oh, yeah, that'll cut burn a house town.

He wanted to burn a house town. The witness said they attempted to extinguish the fires with Dermott was lighting, but he would simply relight them. Okay, so yes, he's trying to start a fire. Yeah. Yeah, because that's not. He hates Billy Joel. He is the fire starter.

Yeah. He's, he did start the fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been always burning since the world's been turning. You too. The witness told the 30s he left the area with McDermin and returned to find the house completely engulfed. He's a McDermy.

So he took McDermin away. He's like, I'm pulling you away from the house. And he went, and he looked around and he went, and he fires? Nope, just a love seat. Right. What? Nothing there. Don't mind the smoke. A love seat in the middle of your room.

This is weirdest place for a love seat ever. It's like hinged back in the corner facing the thing. So it happens when you watch too much heated rivalry. McDermott allegedly fled the scene in a U-Haul. In a U-Haul? Who just has a U-Haul hanged? He gets a good speed on that big. Car of choice.

Yeah, I'm going to take a car that can only hold it off. with Grandma's attic above him? Well, he had to get the love seat there in the first place. Sure. If I owned a U-Hall, my own independent U-Hall place. Is that a bare-naked lady song? If I owned a 100 U-Halls, if I owned my own U-Haul place, I would call it H-A-U-L and Oates, and I would sell oat milk too.

Hall and Outs. That's great. I love it. I'm in favor of that business model. That's a business model. Or if your U-Hull was used to only haul, wheat and farm products Holland

Holland H-A-U-L-I Oates I'm sorry Peter Hall and New York Post I'm here New York Post we are here If you need us, the three of us And I'm going to throw Chloe in there

The four of us are here Hall McCartney We're just doing it Hall of Justice H-A-U-L area That's works You drive people around in the U-Hall to their court dates.

Yes. You can get a lot of them in there. Hall of Justice. Anthony Michael, H-A-U-L. That's... So, you drive people around on their 16th birthday. There we go. I'm trying so hard for one. I know, I know, just give you one. I'm really, I'm like, I'm the moody blues.

Nope, that doesn't work. Nope, that doesn't work. Z-Z-Top doesn't work. That's so fun. Mick Hawley-Halkin. All right, here we go. Jason. Are you only haul things when you're home alone? I love. We wait to your home alone.

Then we haul it. All the president's men. It's a Washington, D.C. based moving company. We haul away files from the Watergate Hotel. All right, here we go. McDermott allegedly fled the scene in a U-Haul and has not been apprehended as of Wednesday. What? Hell, yeah, dude.

Live that life, dude. I mean, I guess you can just sleep in the U-Haul. Sure. But, like, who's not identifying the U-Ha? It's hard to track a U-Ha. I guess. I think the town's good with him being gone. Yeah.

Let him be somebody else's problem. Light a fire in that U-Hall. Yeah. Yeah, they're not looking. As soon as he crossed out. As soon as he left, state lines are like, somebody else's problem now. We don't need that.

The whole townhouse community is like good riddance. I mean, and that's your story. Story number three. He's gone. Weird and dumb. He's gone with the wind. He's gone like the spider. He'll never be seen again.

He's like the wind. There you go. The problem is that the spiders can follow him into the wind. Oh, that ain't right. They got their little silk. Like he, he hauls away and then we cut to the back of the U-Ha and there's just tons of spiders crawling. Yeah. Inevitably, wherever he has gone,

there are more spiders than where he will be more. He came from. And you know what? There'll be more fires, too. What a tangled web we weave. Chloe Radcliffe has a special. It's going to be coming out later. We think it's going to be called dibs.

She's got dibs on the name. She's got dibs on the name. Follow Dan. Go see him on his dates. Go see all of our Netflix's joke. Watch our don't tell set. Please watch it. We'd love for you to watch it and comment on it.

It's called the same white guy twice. I love it. That's good. That's really good. That's really good. That's it. That's it. And we love you guys.

And oh, snap, we got to get back to work. Peace.
