John Gablican.
Oh, my God.
Thank you guys for having me.
This is a long time coming, my friend, and it is the perfect.
It is the Halloween episode.
Only because Jay and Dan are wearing black.
Is it really?
Yeah, it is.
I would have dressed up.
I know.
You wore your work clothes.
Yeah, I just got off work.
But I was.
There's going to be a ladybug for Halloween.
And you were, I loved it.
I mean, are you talking about the old, like the soccer movie where the little girls.
Yes, I was Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
You were going to be Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Yes.
May he rest in peace.
Yes.
He's not dead.
We just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
You're the other guy from SeaQuest.
Oh, sorry.
Wait, can you tell me the difference?
And I don't know why I'm asking you, but between Sea Quest, Farscape and Sea Gate.
What is the difference between those three shows?
Well, I'm so happy you brought up.
my other love and wife.
Okay, good.
Hour long fantasy dramas
involving small children
who look like
to Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Yeah.
Can you get my notes
from my TED Talk?
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
You also have a month.
They're bringing in.
I'm like,
and I have a chart
with all three.
They're flying in.
The big difference, okay?
The Seescape is this.
Yeah.
No one watched these two
and then a few old people
watch this one.
That's the big one.
There are variable people
who think you're talking
about completely different.
Yeah, yeah.
They're going to put it.
their own.
You're like, I've seen that.
I've seen that.
I've seen like, no, you've seen Jack.
Yeah.
That's a different show.
You've seen.
What, what 60-year-old
woman is yelling right now?
Seascape and she's talking about she-scape.
That's the one everyone wants.
And two people are like, isn't that airbender?
No.
Not to be confused with Air Bud, which is my second TED Talk.
Yeah.
I thought Air Bud was Highlander.
I thought those were the same way.
I thought Airbud was quantum leap.
Is that wrong?
That's the one I get messed up.
You get that's good.
You know, all the time.
Well, so here's the time.
So here's the deal.
And Jay and I did your lovely podcast.
We'll talk about that later.
But I understand and what I love about you is you cut to the quick when it comes to the dumb in this world.
That's it.
You suffer no fools.
That's it.
Because you humans have a lot of dumb, dump.
There's a lot of dumbdums.
A lot of dumb dump.
And you have the perspective of being able to look at the human race.
Yeah.
Stupidity.
Of course.
Yeah.
So we're going to get into it.
We have stories sent in by our awesome listeners.
You go to, you go to X and send them in at Daniel Van Kirk at Sky.
our brothers hashtag dumb people town that way we know who sent it when there's a time stamp on it
first story let's jump into it right away let's get in hey let's get into it guys let's get
into it every holly that's right all right so this is sent it by sean andersson at shan w and e 70 if you
want to follow here we go you ready for this here's the headline ohio officer attacked in
quotes so was he or she attacked by giant runaway pumpkin months after turkeys chased
him down during a traffic stop in
viral video. So this guy's
getting it from all sides. He's having a tough month. All the holidays are coming hard
at him. Right? All the holiday mascot. Right?
Well, he's going to get attacked
by a gingerbread house. He might literally
run over by a reindeer. Oh,
there it is. Wait, so he
ran from Turkey's months prior
to being, by being
mauled by a pumpkin. Well, it did it out of
order then. Right. I mean, the
pumpkin should have got the first. Then he gets
chased by the turkey. Then he gets chased by Santa Claus.
And the Easter buddy is just like stretching.
I got this guy.
I got him.
No Easter buddy before Santa Claus.
Again, it's like a time job.
But let's think about it from a Hollywood standpoint.
The first movie was a Thanksgiving movie.
And then 10 months later, they rush into production.
Another film, they go, last Thanksgiving, he had the worst turkey of a day.
Thanks, no thanks.
This Halloween, he wasn't prepared for the pumpkin roll.
Sorry, not sorry, Thanksgiving.
I like that.
You know, I will say this, and this is a trigger warning.
and I know you like to read the New York Post regularly,
but it is a lot of puns.
A lot of puns.
I want the truth, and that place provides it.
Very true.
A truth, for sure.
All right, here we go.
You ready?
Truth, social.
Social, which is where I found the show.
Social truth.
All right, so here's how it goes.
I'm just going to read it as it comes.
Yeah, yeah.
Pumpkin spice and run for your life.
That's the opening?
That was their opening line.
Wow, how dare they?
I would say pumpkin spice up your life, but I mean.
Yeah.
Right.
You're a spice girl's fan.
But hey, I mean, that's why they're hiring you for punch-up over it.
Thank you.
Pumpkin, spice, and everything nice.
It says, why can't I write for the post?
Pumpkin spice and run for your life.
That's what they say.
Isn't that similar to a Spice Girl's life?
Run for your pumpkin life or something.
Or something.
What's the Spice Girls song?
Something Spice Up Your Life.
Right?
Pumpkin spice up your life.
Yeah.
It also sort of feels like a Taylor Swift lyric.
An Ohio police officer was attacked by a runaway inflatable pumpkin in a bizarre scene.
That's so high.
Just months before viral.
The footage captured him the same cop being chased by wild turkeys during a traffic stop.
So he pulled someone over this like months ago.
And he's like saying somebody defund the police.
Right.
He's asking for it.
A gigantic Halloween decoration blew away from residence yard and barreled its way into the middle of the road blocking two lanes of traffic during high winds in Bay Village.
This is the question.
If you're going to blow it up in your front yard, you got to tie it down.
Right?
Everybody knows that.
Everybody knows that.
It's the same team with pumpkins and with cool boyfriends and girlfriends.
You're going to blow them?
Time down.
If you're going to blow them.
Time down.
Put a ring on it.
Put a ring on it.
You know, and put two rings on it.
And to anchor those rings.
Anchor them.
Yes.
In the ground and anchor.
You know how to do it.
Officers from the Bay Village Police Department located just west of Cleveland, thanks,
were dispatched to the spooky scene to contain what was characterized as a runaway pumpkin.
My favorite Julia Roberts movie.
My favorite Julia Roberts movie.
because she married the pumpkin.
She was so good.
So good at that.
She married the pumpkin on Notting Hill.
A giant runaway pumpkin rolled over the police in Ohio.
No officers were harmed in the Halloween-themed incident.
It's not a Halloween-themed incident.
Now you're making it sound like...
Wait, how's it not?
But I'm saying it is...
It was a happenstance, coincidental Halloween.
Like, no one was like, we're going to make this a Halloween-themed thing.
Well, because Halloween's scary, they want this to feel like
the thing acted on its own.
It feels like you're in the criminal Halloween argument of the diehard Christmas movie argument.
Like the other cops are being like, there's obviously a Halloween crime.
And you're like, Halloween isn't crucial.
All right, John Goblickon, I put it to you, is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
I think Die Hard is not a good movie.
Oh, no, Christmas.
Yeah.
But I know, here's the thing.
Here's what I want to know about this guy.
This guy, I want to know, because.
I know it like in cops or just from what I see on the show.
Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, Reno 911, that documentary.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
That is very truthful, very truthful.
I know that like cops like to rip each other.
Yeah, they love to have fun.
If you do something, if you mess up, like, out of the field, you're getting ripped.
You don't you dare.
What is this guy when he goes back to the locker and they're like after the.
After the 30 incident.
He got pumpkin rolled.
You've heard her being Rick rolled.
He got pumpkin rolled.
I mean, this guy just, he's going to get a daze back of the office.
Or his captain's going to, like, slowly close the door and be like, you got a drinking problem, Dave?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just want you to see the picture of him just getting swallowed up by.
Oh, my God.
That is terrifying.
He's getting swallowed up by a bomb.
This is the type of photo.
If it was on TikTok, the top comment would be, I miss her.
You're scrolling like crazy.
Go back to.
Dad, dad, dad, dad, you're scrolling.
Dad, stop scrolling.
You got your head so far up your ass.
So I captioned this photo, I'd be like I'm an ass man.
I should call her.
I should, thinking about you.
Everything reminds me of her.
Everything reminds me of her.
Head in the clouds.
So the cop was vanished from camera for nearly 20 seconds, then he was spotted again.
Williams was able to go pumpkin picking once back.
Do you think he felt like this was him in the abyss?
He touched the void a little bit.
I'm now, I'm heading towards the light.
What was it like in there?
I just can't believe this cop didn't shoot this pumpkin.
It came at me.
Yeah, it came at me.
It wouldn't comply.
It was orange.
Stem up, stem up, stem up.
Orange Lives Matter.
Williams was able to go pumpkin picking once backup officers arrived on the scene.
They harnessed the inflatable vine and pulled the giant blow-up squash.
I like that they're calling it a squash.
Yeah, they're like, let's get the vegetable right, guys.
It's the classification if we're going to do this.
Very important.
By the way, the first time the New York Post has ever gotten anything right.
Suburban rode onto the grass.
Luckily, no officers or pumpkins were harmed.
Real quick, I just thought like the rest of the vegetables, like a squash.
Cut to a zucchini.
He's like, oh, boy, this is bad for us.
This is bad.
Every time I see a story, I'm like, please don't let it be a squash.
Yeah, and now it's a squash.
Please don't let it be a squash.
Oh, boy, I'm going to get calls about this.
I mean, can we catch a break?
The gourd says, can we catch a break?
Cops safely returned to the Mighty Object.
It's returned it to its owner in time for Halloween festivities to begin.
This is just crazy.
Bay Village Police Department.
This isn't the first time Williams was caught in camera strange situation.
Happening in March of 2024, Williams was training rookie cop Molly Searless when two wild turkeys approached him and just chased him away.
Look at that.
My Lord.
Birds can be mean.
Birds are scary.
geese will fuck you up wild turkeys well obviously
turkeys will go after we i think we did a story years ago about like a turkey that was terrorizing a town
the turkeys chase the officers back on their police cruiser at that point you can shoot it
no at that point i can say that for real though from a cop's perspective if you're like if anybody
even though i am running and it's going to bite me if anyone sees me kick this turkey i'm fired i'm done
yes how crazy is it if but you can they can shoot somebody this is the Ryan
sickler effect he told me he was like we have people we would have people on the crab feast
or honey do and they would say the craziest most fucked up shit about their parents or whatever
and people nobody says anything so anybody tells a story about an animal forget it we will get
letters we love our animals yes we love our animals a little too much because the turkey isn't
it doesn't have it doesn't have a I mean it doesn't have rationale it's not like I hate you it's just
being territorial.
Turkeys or dicks.
I mean...
You've always said that.
Look, you guys said that.
John and I have not said anything about turkeys being dicks?
By the way...
No, no.
Turkey's...
They're the worst, okay?
They are.
I have not said...
I keep distancing from anybody like.
I'm here to say that orca whales are amazing.
They're funny.
They're hilarious.
They like to fuck with people.
Turkeys are dicks.
Such dicks, man.
Right?
Like, they gotta, like, tone it down.
They want to take credit for everything.
I mean, I think they're mad about the whole Thanksgiving thing, but just tone it down, man.
So here's a deal.
Let's see you guys.
had pulled over by the cops and the turkeys come and chase them back into their cruiser.
You have to stay put because if you drive away, then they can drive away from the turkeys
and then it's all good, then they have to stop you again.
Like, if they're stuck in their car for a long period of time, can you lean out the window
and say, like, are we good?
Like, because you know the turkeys basically have them cornered into their car.
Yeah.
Yes.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, if you get pulled over and two people go past drag racing at like 110 miles an hour.
Yeah, that's right.
Doesn't most cops being like warning and then like taken off?
Like if something supersedes what you're being pulled over for.
It depends if they started the ticket.
If they've started the ticket, then you're screwed.
Once they enter, once the numbers in the system.
But if I'm going to pull over and turkeys chase cops into a car, I am going to like stick my head out and be like, are we good?
You're not doing something else now, right?
Right.
You guys got to deal with this turkey situation.
A check.
That wasn't my fault.
John.
I'm coming back around on these turkeys.
See?
I feel like these turkeys are kind of doing gobs work.
They are.
They're keeping the cops and check.
Yes.
And that needs to happen.
Is there a check on the cops in this world besides turkey?
You know things are bad when even turkeys and pumpkins are like, all right, police.
Settle down.
Yeah.
Do we got to step in?
We have to now handle this situation.
Can I do the New York Post headline?
Yeah.
Goblin sides with goblers.
Goblin, goblin, goblin.
Goblin, goblin.
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble it.
So the, make the Turkish chase the officers back in the cruiser.
I don't know what it is with me.
We'll see if Santa comes to haunt me around Christmas time,
but I think this probably ranks up with their,
ranks up there as far as funny moments in his career.
So I guess he hasn't.
I mean, this guy, this guy, he just is a cop.
Yeah, right?
These are the funny moments of my career.
The time I got rolled over by a pumpkin,
the time the turkey changed me,
the time I shot through that door and didn't check the see he was inside.
Johnny had, funny things.
The biggest nail on the head, in my opinion.
Yeah.
That picture of him being engulfed by that pumpkin
is going to show up in that police department
forever forever. It's going to be on the cake at his
retirement. You're right. You're right.
That will never leave him.
He'll be a turkey and pumpkin themed
like going away party when he moves.
It'll show up in his locker.
Turkey and pumpkin pie? Once they sat in the car,
you can actually hear on the video,
can hear the turkey starting to gobble
and get closer and closer to the cruiser.
Sergeant Edward Chapman told Fox 8 News,
the wild turkey population had been increasing in the town every year during the springtime
the hormones of the turkeys are raging whoa as they gear up to mate so you got to be careful
tim this is the i see turkeys all time you ready for this officer name if i try to write this
in a script john people would be like take it out it's too cliche okay tim jizinski you're going to be a
cop or a tight end for pennstay thank you i'm jisinski a wildlife really don't does that say
University.
Pestay University.
How you doing?
I'm Tim Drizinski.
He got a neck roll.
A wildlife rehabilitation specialist.
I was a background actor in the movie Thief.
The town.
At the Lake Erie Nature Science Center.
So the wild turkeys are growing more comfortable in suburban areas because they're
either being fed or looking for a mate.
The outlet added.
Don't feed them.
Don't feed them.
You want a problem with an animal?
Feed it.
Right.
It's like you think you're doing something nice.
Right.
This is like the guy who like.

like you're they're gonna come and eat you at some point I saw a tic-tok of an elderly
woman feeding a mountain lion a bear a bear I've seen the bear too is that a I'm

Ever some reason
they put Larry King there as well.
Why?
He's dead.
He's a goblin.
Not one of us.
That's right.
He's not one of you.
I actually went
this weekend to the Noon King's rally
just to get rid of Larry King.
I thought that's what we were doing.
I thought that's putting an end to his legacy.
And I went and I was like, why does L.A. have a hockey team?
It's over.
We got rid of the L.A. Kings.
Yes.
I said, no Kings.
I wanted nothing to do with it.
Luke Robita.
Get out of there.

It's too hot to be on ice.
Marcel Dion, we don't want you in this city.
And then all of a sudden, everyone was talking about something.

It is so much fun.
You've had so many great people on it.
It's just, I highly recommend if you guys are looking for a crazy and
fun, new podcast. Obviously, it's fun

Story number two.
Also sent in by Sean Anderson.
Thank you, Sean 70.
Families burial halted after another.
casket found in grave at
Carver Cemetery. Dan, you
worked at a cemetery. I was a grave digger.
That's right. Oh, my God. Really?
Yeah. This should never happen.
One, there's usually a stone that signifies
somebody's there. I mean, to me, you wait in so many
lines in your life to, like, now be
like, I gotta now wait to get.
So this is like the bathroom door
says open, and you go in. Someone's in here.
But somebody really didn't do their job, because
there's a tool that you have.
So in my hometown of Rochelle,
Illinois, I don't know if I've ever mentioned.
First time to end up I'm hearing it.
Okay, at Rochelle, Illinois, there's a section of the cemetery called the Popper's section,
because in like the 1800s, people would be buried.
They didn't have any belongings.
So you have this long metal rod, usually about six to eight feet deep long.
And then it extends up to like, almost like a little Y.
You put that into the ground, and then you move that around to look for bones.
Now, this is called sounding.
This is the same thing people do in their penises, right?
Oh, you definitely orgasm.
Okay, okay.
So you put that into the ground.
and yes I've like been like oh those are ribs like you can feel bones so someone I assume it wasn't marked that's how else
casket Dan there was a casket and they're not bones well I mean if you go back far enough they were using caskets like so they dug in
they just didn't mark it and you should have checked anyway they checked you got to check
I feel like this is on the funeral home yes because if if I was that person yeah yeah what's the person
who works at the funeral home called?
Grave.
Oh, you're a brave guy.
Grave guy.
Grave guy.
Not to be too technical.
And they're, and they're like,
and they're like, and they're like, and they're like the one casket waiting and everyone's there.
And they're all crying.
And they're like, oh my God, there's another casket.
I'm like, and you just got a two for one.
That's right.
There you guys.
It's like, that's a deal.
He got to spin that.
You got to find a way to be like.
Sometimes Japanese people sleep in drawers.
So, I mean, like.
I'm so curious about this.
How far down the road?
or I guess the earth
did they get before they found
like you should know all this
because I'm digging a grave we're usually digging
day before you need a back home
it's a pretty quick process
no one's there when I'm doing that
Dan I have a you didn't ask for a roommate in your grave
Jay I don't know how much what's wrong with a bunk bed
honestly a bunk grave
yeah a bunk grave
you got a double I you got a double
I don't know how much deep sea fishing you do on the reg
but oh yeah yeah yeah I'm an avid fisher
Right, so deep sea fishing, there is fish sonar.
There should be corpse sonar.
Like, you go through and then it's like, boom.
It's a heat thing, even though they're dead, but you just feel it's right there.
In our mind, they look like floor buffers, right?
Yeah.
And then you can see if there's anything under there.
And then it's down below.
We can't dig here.
See, I think this is a new business.
Deep gray fishing.
Deep gray fishing.
You just kind of throw it in.
You're like, and then you can get a casket.
What am I getting down?
Yeah.
Casket, skull.
Let's get into it.
Shreveport, Louisiana.
So who knows, there could be water underneath.
Or it could have just risen to the top because of water.
A Shreveport family's grief turned to shock and anger today
when a burial at Carver Memorial Cemetery was abruptly halted
after relatives discovered another casket already inside the grave,
prepared for their loved one.
I mean, what do you do in that scenario?
I don't understand why they're surprised.
That's like being out of McDonald's and being like, there's burgers here.
I know.
This is what they do.
You're in a cemetery.
I'm going to find.
It's like, this checks out.
Yeah, this makes sense.
It's not like you were getting a pool in your backyard.
I'm like, oh, my God, there's a grave here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
This is, they're like, oh, I'm so sorry, this normally always happens.
All right, I have an idea for a movie.
You brought dead sand to the beach.
I know what you're going to say.
You have an idea for a more movie.
Can I guess what I think you're going to say?
Guess what I'm going to say.
I think you say a cemetery is built on a Native American barrel ground.
That's exactly what I was doing.
The cemetery gets haunted by the Native American barrel ground.
Isn't it so cute when they're doing this?
Isn't it so cute when they do that?
I'm embarrassed.
I'm embarrassed.
Sometimes I wonder if they have a pack where you just say that is what I was going to say.
Oh, that wasn't what I was going to say.
We would never know.
We would start you with that.
How would you know?
Is this your card?
Is this your card?
Yeah, that is my card.
That's the pack that you have.
No one checks that pack.
That's your card?
Yeah, it is.
No, I don't say what's your card.
I go, your card was the five of clubs.
And then John goes, a hundred percent it was.
And then I go, that's what I was going.
or you say sure.
All right.
The family of Frank Ruffin Sr.,
who I believe was in the four tops.
That's right.
A beloved pastor and musician
gathered at the cemetery
expecting to lay him to rest.
Instead, they were met with a disturbing sight,
a damaged casket, damage too.
It's not even a good condition.
No, it's damaged cask.
Visible inside the open grave.
When you open a grave,
you should never see the casket of another loved one.
But that means whoever is the groundskeeper
for this cemetery dug the hole and then we're like they're not going to notice right like left it
there yeah left it family doesn't get there you you show up to the party the table's already set
yeah i mean if this was in new york post they would say this is a roughen situation rough and tumble
uh so ellie rough and stuff let's see uh said that when he saw what happened he uh el i i'm not i'm not
family agreed
Elie McGovern
agreed not to move forward
and instead reload Ruffin's casket
into the hearse and return to the
funeral home. Back it up. Back it up.
Put it back. We got to go back
over here. Dig another hole.
When KTBS arrived at the cemetery
shortly after cemetery owner Arthur
Walsh was seen using a
backhoe to quickly fill in the grave.
So here's my question. Back it up, back it up. So they go
back to the funeral home and then someone
from the party calls ABC.
And it's like, we got a problem here. Right? Then they
show up he told who's calling the news so this is what walt said and he said he told k tbs that the hole
had quote caved in uh but declined to speak further on camera the whole had caved in if you don't have
if you can't talk to k tbs it's your fault i i feel like that was a slow news day because can you just
imagine like the reporters like showing up in the pause he's like hey boss i got a huge story he's like
okay tell me he's like okay so there was this grave and it was open he's like okay okay you can't
And wait till you hear, what was in this, Rick.
I can't wait.
You are never.
Give it to me.
You could have 100 guesses.
Okay.
Like, just take one guess and you're probably wrong.
Another casket.
Shit.
Shit, Gary.
That is actually.
It's exactly.
That was my first guess.
Yeah, I just thought that in a grade.
Yeah, because it's open and it's like, what could be down there so many things?
I just thought maybe it a child traffic.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I think we could run the story, though?
Yes.
It's either that or that pumpkin that ate that.
Oh, yeah, that runaway pumpkin.
All right, let's switch to that.
Guys, both.
We're doing both.
We can do both.
This is the New York Post.
We can do anything we want.
Even if the grave caved, why was it still like that when we got there?
Dan, that's what you were saying.
Grave cave does sound like a child show.
Grave cave?
Grave cave.
Family members said they were stunned not only by the discovery, but also the way the
cemeteries Walsh handled the situation.
Okay, it's a cave full of.
of graves. Grave Cave. Grave cave. I mean, there's nothing more Halloween than the
Grave cave cave. Grave cave sounds like, are you guys going on the, uh, the haunted hayride?
No, we're going to grave cave. Yeah. Is that over it? A catacomb. Either that or it's, it's the creepiest
guy's man cave. You're like, you're like, oh, what do you got down there? It sounds like
a corpse in here. He's like, um, yes. And it's, it's. I have, in a sense,
I have a memento. I'm pretty sure. Chris Angel calls his basement the grave cave. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I, you know, I, you know,
people have uniforms and they hang them up i have them still attached to a torso i like chris angel calls
his asshole the grave cave yeah that's right there's a lot of lot of things have died here wait is that
actually yogi bearer he offered to just throw dirt in the hole and ignore the fact that someone's
casket had been damaged said ruffin's niece angela hampton you didn't see anything literally
rogeline sorry angelica uh and skyler when we asked for a refund he told us to call the office said that
was fine and walked away without even
offering condolences. Well, he is offering
a refund. He is offering a refund. That
to me is, what more do you
want for this guy? I mean, for real.
Like, refund. Ruffin's
granddaughter, Jerkia Hall
said her grandfather was
a funny person who was not only
my papa, he was my best friend.
I'm going to cry. Well, then did she ever think about this?
He made this. He was pricking them.
He's in on this.
Yeah, this was his last.
His last joke was
to be like, guys, it's already used.
He called him up, like, he was, like, basically on his deathbed.
He's like, all right, listen.
And I die.
Hold on, Paul.
You okay, sir?
Yeah, yeah.
No, I did.
All right.
So, I've got, like, five, six minutes.
I got, I got to make the sure.
Okay, go ahead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Hey, yeah, can you hang on one second?
Yeah, Barbara, can you file?
Oh, sorry.
I just, I'll tell him I'll call back after lunch.
I'll text you.
No, no, no, what's he's saying?
He's got to say something.
No, no, okay.
So, so my family's going to be calling you,
they're going to want to put me in a grave.
Can I just put you on hold for once?
Oh, no, no, no.
Just got to get to that.
One minute.
60 seconds.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Go back and start again because I just...
So you're dying.
What's going on?
Yeah, no, I'm just going to say, it'd be funny if you, like, put me in another grave with, like, another...
Tell them I'll call him back.
Oh, my God.
Tell them I'll call him back.
We lost him.
Now I'll never fucking know what he was going to say.
He never got it out.
Who was that?
I don't know.
And then they're like, whatever.
Let's just put it in a grave with some...
I think you're on to something here.
Because a lot of times elderly people will pay for their plot and their cemetery.
Sometimes there's a whole funeral out of the gate, which is not a bad thing to do.
I'm ready to do it now.
If you do that, you are locked in, like you're locked into the price when you paid for it.
You died 25 years later.
Nobody owes anything.
It doesn't matter, yes.
I love it.
I have an aunt that did this.
So, here's my prices.
How do we not know?
Papa, pop-pop-puffin.
Yeah.
Could have said like, I'll take a plot over here.
And they're like, all right, but just so you know, you know, you know,
there might be some body.
That's an area where there could be stuff of like...
Doesn't matter.
And he was like,
I don't care.
Is it less?
Is it less?
Am I going to care?
What if this was an arrangement between...
Am I going to care?
Yeah.
Between the grandpa and somebody who even predates this like funeral director guy and he was,
and he was like, this is his plot.
He paid for this.
This is what he wanted.
I agree.
I think they should have gas lit them.
Yeah.
Yes.
I said they should be like, oh, what?
You want him to be lonely?
All right.
Actually, you're right.
This is what we do around here.
They use this.
when somebody dies, they start to invoke
what they would have wanted.
Yes.
If the funeral reaction could have been like,
I think he would have wanted to be in this.
I would have opened up the casket to him and be like,
oh, let's ask him.
Oh, that's right, he don't care.
And they just knocked him in.
We can have birdies him.
He don't care.
I'm shaking his head.
Do you care?
No.
He doesn't care.
He says no.
He don't care.
In fact, when you guys pass,
I'll give you a deal.
Let's all go in the same war.
Same hole.
You know what I mean?
Who really cares?
A big commune.
It's called a mass grave.
That's what we do here.
KTBS has reported on issues at Carver's Cemetery for years.
So there is probably a, hey, like slow news day, anything going on at the cemetery?
Yeah.
They're buried in two people in the same grave?
Let's check it out.
Including complaints about overgrown grass, broken headstones, and missing grave markers.
The Louisiana Cemetery board, I bet you didn't know there was a board.
Yeah.
What are you doing these days?
Were you working?
Are you on the...
Yeah, I just got a promotion.
And I'm now ahead of a bore.
Oh, really?
Which one?
Is it a hospital?
No, it's pretty good.
And let's just say business is pretty much year-round.
It doesn't slow down.
It's not seasonal.
People are dying to get into that thing.
Yeah, get out of it.
Before you close it, you just reminded me.
One of the guys I worked with at the cemetery, he goes...
Was his name?
It wasn't John.
It was a guy who filled...
I think his name was Tim.
Big guy, natural mullet, not cut that way.
And he would go, he would go, speaking of untamed grass.
You know, you can use this job to pick up women.
What?
And I was like, because the Rochelle Street Department, the city managed the cemetery, the graveyard.
And he would go, meet a woman at a bar, and you say, hey, I can't tell you what I do, but I work for the government.
And it involves death.
And I got about 10,000 people below me.
Wow.
That was his line to pick up.
Chicks. Great joke. I'm boiced. Yeah.
I mean, wow.
Bow down to the bowel.
I should have used it. There you go.
Louisiana Seventry Board previously told KTBS, it has no jurisdiction over Carver Cemetery
Yeah, why not?
They're only the Louisiana Cemetery Board, and Carver Cemetery Cemetery is only a cemetery
in Louisiana. Yeah.
Hey, the LCB does what the LCB does.
We can't tell a cemetery what to do. We're just the Louisiana Cemetery board.
This is why. You know that. They're like, we should get a board or something.
We should get a board to do something.
something about this. Our board.
Our board. He just watches our board and tells us, like, what we could do.
Yeah.
Louisiana.
Are you working for the Louisiana Cemetery Board?
No, I'm working for the board that tells Louisiana.
The Louisiana Cemetery Oversight Board.
Yeah, that's great.
The Board of Louisiana Cemetery boards.
Which is so perfect for this story because it's just a board on top of a board.
Way to tie it up.
Two caskets, one funeral.
They said they can't do it because it's not a perpetual care cemetery.
Oh, no idea what that means.
What does that mean?
Perpetual care.
That feels like a loophole.
Once you die, isn't perpetual care done?
Yeah, I think it's over.
Yeah.
Also, once you're in there, they do have to care for you.
I'm going to work to you.
I'm in post hospice.
It's pretty easy, huh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We don't lose anybody.
They're already gone.
No, you're like, haven't lost anyone?
Have lost to one.
Haven't lost the one.
Oh, I'm trying to get on the board.
All right.
That's story number two down on the books.
When we come back, Daniel, you got a little taste?
It's a very short story.
but it's very interesting.
Great.
It involves the Ice Bandit.
I love it.
The Ice Bandit.

What, are you supposed to do a 40-minute set?
We're supposed to do a 40-minute set to you?
And it had really good Yelp reviews other than that they let their grass grow a little
long.
That was definitely a red flag.
Come on, guys.
And by the way, there was a red flag.
Too many red flags at that cemetery.
Yeah, I was going to say.
Take them down.
That's what we said.
That is a serious red fight.
Come on.
Yeah.
All right.
It's four sentences, but it's fun.
I love it.
Greece police.
Who sent it in, Dan?
I will say.
Okay, sorry.
Greece police sent in by Jake Groney 2.
That's their horn.
That's their horn.
Okay.
Greece police.
It's a siren.
Ice bandit.

Not the ice that we've come to hate.
The ice we all love.
I spanned it wanted after stealing ice bags from gas station.
I mean, so I worked at a gas station.
Yeah, so did that.
There was a lady, we called her the ice lady.
When she rolled in, it was the greatest.
Old Cadillac car.
Was it a security weaver?
No.
She had the kind of glasses that made me think that she was blind.
Like, big old blueblowers?
So very wide.
Like there's a lot of distance between the side of her face and the end of the glass.
And they have like sunglasses on the side too.
Yeah, peripheral.
She would, we get there, hi, honey, how you doing?
I'm like, great.
She's like, can I get three bags of ice?
So you go in and get gas, get three bags of ice, put them in the trunk of her old maroon
Cadillac, she would give you $10, the bags were like $2 each, so you got a $4 tip.
And it was, we loved her.
We fought each other to get to the Ice Lady to get to that car.
I just was saying, this is one of the most.
genius ploys by this bandit
ever? Yeah, sure. Because it's like one of the
few things you can steal. Just imagine this.
You like load up your truck with all this ice.
You're right away for the cops. You're right for the cops.
You're going to get pulled over. They got you at gunpoint.
They're like, they're like, this guy's stealing a bunch of
ice. And they open up the trunk and they're like,
no, it's just a bunch of bags.
Just bags of water. I got a wet trunk.
Nothing is. Yeah, like, I guess
I stole my ice. I guess this isn't him.
No evidence, your honor.
Nothing. Nothing. I stole
this ice months ago. I mean, I bought it
months ago. Exactly.
ice is one of our last like true honor systems in this country
because so often it's just outside like unlocked like when you buy it
you'll grab it you grab it outside anybody can pull up gets some ice to go I'm
gonna ask you this when you get a little cup for water yeah and you're able to go over to
the fountain sodas yeah get your ice do you get a little fountain do you get a little fountain
soda I don't take it to like a sprite like a clear soda right sprite no one can tell
yeah I I I've done that quite a few times I like I like I like
to do the thing where I take it.
I'm like, just, just, just, just, just, just, this is the water one.
And while I'm doing it, I'm pushing the Sprite.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is this the water one?
Oh, my God.
You know what you're doing.
And then I go, oh, my God, oh, my God.
That's what?
I think, oh, that's Shanta?
Go ahead of a second.
Are you kidding me?
Your water is orange.
Why is it orange?
Which one's the water?
Check the filter, it's dark.
I, by the way, if you, if you just put it right under the water, you'll get just a little
Bid up whatever was there.
A trickle. You do get a little
corn syrup. A little corn syrup. A syrup. A trickle. It's never fully
water, even if you go right for it. It's never
fully water. Greece. New York.
Authorities are seeking the public's help and identifying a suspect
wanted for stealing. How many
bags of ice from a gas station in Greece, New York?
Greece is the word. What do you think was the total
of bags of ice? What caused the police to be
called to, I think, 20 bags of ice? 20 bags.
40? 40? 40?
John? One bag.
That's it? One bag?
Yeah, I think, I think, I mean, we're talking about crime, right?
Yes, I mean, like, they identified a suspect who stole more than 80 bags.
Whoa.
At what point is it on you that you are just watching someone load up 80 bags?
Well, he must have went to multiple places.
No, I think it just one place.
Wait a minute.
Cleaned it out.
That doesn't make any sense.
I've never been to a guessing that there's, they're always almost out of it.
How do they have 80?
he waited until it was like stocked here's what I'm imagining the party he left where
they're like weed ice yeah how much 80 you're all you can get it all you can everything you can
grab where you put 80 bags where 80 bags he comes back he comes back to the party he's like
I got the ice someone helped me put it in you pay for it right it was outside wait no it was
it was it was it was it was open the thing it's right right next sentence it's just water
Greece police issued a wanted suspect post on social media asking for assistance
and locating a man who was allegedly captured stealing more than 80 bags of ice from an outdoor icebox.
More than 84.
Yeah, why not you say the number?
Just say what it is.
They don't know.
They don't know. There's no way to know.
So my guess is it was like we have at least 80 bags in this place and when we left, there's nothing left in there.
According to the post, hashtag the ice bandit, the suspect is wanted on larceny charges the location.
gas station involved in the incident was not provided by police.
Isn't that helpful?
No, they're just like, they don't want to what gas station.
They're like, clearly this is a place where you can't, either the ice thing is like
poorly placed in the back where the person can't see it or at an angle where you can't
see it.
And if you go low enough, you can.
So what is a bigger thievery?
What is a bigger theft in our world right now?
80 bags of ice or crown jewels from the Louvre?
I think it's 80.
What's a bigger steel?
There are people in a moment in their world.
life that would say fuck them crown jewels we need ice right you can't
both are versus of ice i can't put both are iced out i can't put the crown jewels in a drink

no they want ice and crown crown royal that's one of my go-to moves you're heading to a party
i send the text need ice do you know many times people go oh thank you
Thank you.
I was going to say, the ice person is like the most clutch person at a park.
You walk in and you could get applause.
Right.
If you put ice in these hands right here.
And even if you show up without asking, you're out $2.89.
Big deal.
But when you show up and they need it.
Oh.
You are.
People are sweating in the kitchen and trying to decide who's going to go get ice.
Who's going to eat ice?
We need ice.
We can't leave.
As far as like, people who are bringing things to a party, we're going to break.
because like there's everyone brings chips you have too much chips too many chips but like eyes i think
it's pretty high and then the person that brings paper towels oh i'll just ask him to move on in
yeah just come on in john i've shown up two frozen pizzas and i go we put these in the freezer
if we're hanging out late enough you're going to be glad we got these frozen pieces if we're not
you'll remember me on another night when you don't have dinner just throw up with a couple
of tombstones is it two or dijorno what are you doing tombstones what do we say to uh to uh to uh to uh
Gondelman, Josh Gondelman. He had that great...
Not John Goblacan.
Josh Gondelman.
The John Goblacan of comedy.
Yes.
Had such a funny joke.
He was telling a story about how people brought napkins and paper plates to a party.
And I said napkins and paper plates to a party is like thoughts and prayers after someone's been killed.
Right.
It's too late.
It does nothing.
Yeah.
You do nothing.
You brought nothing.
You think you're doing everything.
You've done nothing.
Thoughts and prayers.
If you show up to tortilla trips and you did not bring.
salsa? Forget it. Go home.
Go walk away. Get out. Get out. Your dry
ass mouth. Get out of here. Here's what I'm
thinking about this guy though, this bandit.
Yeah.
You said 80?
80. Over 80.
Here's what I wonder.
What do you think he's using it for?
Did he show up to a party?
And there's just like some college kid that's like 80?
Like I thought you said it.
They have like two, two igloo coolers and it's like, oh, jeez.
We said eight.
You said eight. 80.
Dude, like, we have one piece of beer.
Maybe this guy, this is his side hustle.
College game day.
College town, he gets 80 bags of ice.
He just starts driving around.
And this is the world's best salesman because it quite literally has a ticking clock to it.
You know what?
Yes.
It's like, we got up.
It's like, we got to move this.
You need this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there's a moment where he does sell ice to Eskimos and he's like, I did it.
