Starting point is 00:03:28 Oh. Was it at the castle? Yeah. Was that the first one? I think it was our first live Dumb People Town. You only did a handful too, right? It's great to have you. Great to have you.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Always been a part of the city. I got a key to it by the mayor, but it didn't work on anything. Talk about dumb. It was too big for any fucking keyhole. You can't put that in any. So keys to cities like novelty checks, they don't work. Right, you can't go to the bank and cash a giant novelty.
Starting point is 00:03:53 They don't go into a door. You gotta get a sign. You could threaten somebody with a key to let you in anywhere. Yes, so if you're trying to put it in like a giant novelty check, you gotta go.5 if you're taking a picture and putting it in the bank. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Story number one, this was sent in by Sam Householder. At Sam Householder. A household name. Here's the headline. Man says bag of Fritos sitting on car seat lured him before stealing vehicle, later burglarizing cars in Ingleside. This is the worst written headline I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Every participle dangles and doesn't. I understand what he did. He walked by, saw a bag of Fritos. A bag of Fritos lured him. They're like, hey buddy, what you doing out there? This guy is really counting on somebody, like a judge being also really into Fritos. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:42 You gotta, you get it. Fritos. So what if he had a Mereda Twisted Fritos? really in yeah you gotta you get it he is like this is him because he definitely represented himself in court okay and he had his back pocket the judge is like you can't just be a bag of Fritos and he turns the jury and says they they were chili cheese. Oh! It's like, all right, let them off. I'm gonna reveal a logic thing about me that I'm gonna apply to this.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Sometimes, many times, almost every time, if I'm watching a movie in the movie theater, I will tell myself, like let's say it's an action movie. I will say, I can't start eating my Reese's Pieces until I see a gun like if it's an action movie That's what you otherwise. I'll just sit there and like eat Oh, no, I'll eat and I like pace myself through the previews So I sort of let the universe as a movie determine when I act start and so I wonder if this guy was like
Starting point is 00:05:41 I'm not gonna rob this car. However, however. Unless I see a bag of Fritos. If I see. If it's open. Like if there's an incentive there, I sort of feel like it's telling me. The bag has like a mouth. Look, you can't spell Fritos without free. Hey. Hey. That shit's free to me.
Starting point is 00:05:56 One version. I'm going in. Let's go in. I once, like when I got a speed ticket when I was like 15 years old in Hawaii. You can drive at three in Hawaii. You can drive very young there. I remember thinking, finally I can drive.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And then I see, if I see someone who's like 18 driving a car these days, I'm just like, get that kid out of here. What is he doing? Underage. Your brain's not even fully formed to understand the mechanics of the car, let alone the spatial recognition of anyone on the road.
Starting point is 00:06:22 15. I am getting into the car with my son as he drives me around. Don't. Don't do it. No, I'm telling him. He wants to. But like, the excuses I heard at court, my dad made me go to court,
Starting point is 00:06:32 and I just heard all these guys like, so why did you steal the truck? He's like, oh, Judge, you gotta understand. It was, I thought it was my friend's truck, and then I was gonna just sleep in the back of the bed, and it got a little cold, so I busted through the window. And I work with a guy that does windows, so it was not a big deal. I knew I was gonna just sleep in the back of the bed and then it got a little cold, so I busted through the window. And I work with a guy that does windows,
Starting point is 00:06:47 so it was not a big deal. I knew I was gonna get it fixed. I was gonna get it fixed. I was just cold. My cousin knows the guy. He's a Raiders fan, bro. All right, here we go. A man told police that he saw a bag of Fritos
Starting point is 00:06:59 sitting on a car seat while on drugs. Yep, okay. Were the Fritos on drugs? What if he's treating this like a dog or a baby? Yeah. And he's like, I look in there. You gotta crack a window, bro. I look in there, I see chips.
Starting point is 00:07:13 You can't leave those in there. You can't cook these chips. By the way, the temperature change is gonna make him stay. I'm gonna say this though, I'm kind of on his side. Who has a bag of, if there's a bag of Fritos, and you don't trash it. I am such a snacker.
Starting point is 00:07:29 You leave it on a seat. When you buy a bag of Fritos, eat it now. As you purchase it, I would probably open it and start eating it before it's paid for. Well you also got detained for eating in a grocery store. So of course you guys did. In Israel. In Israel. In Israel.
Starting point is 00:07:45 In Israel, I was walking through a store and eating bulk food and they're like, and then some guys start walking really close behind me and kicking my heels. I was like, excuse me. And he's like, come to this back room. And I was like, oh, I'm gonna have to leave the country. That's it.
Starting point is 00:07:59 What? Because they can't wait with snacks. They cannot wait. You two are defending this guy. So what kind of security guard, it's like that's their move kicking the back your heels flat tire got you flat and also when they say let's
Starting point is 00:08:09 go to the back room that's something that just happens that like you know sex clubs right that's like yeah my god blow it to the stall the bathroom next to it on that black leather car here let me put you up on this wheel alright Fritos sitting on a car seat while on drugs which lured him to steal the vehicle.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Okay. How did that? Yeah, dude. Just trying to save the Fritos. But then the Fritos were talking to him. Well, the Fritos were like, it's like, hey, you know, it'd be even better. Bean dip.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah. And you know what? I have a friend, I have a cousin. It'd be a lot cooler if you did. And like, wait, you're bean? Fritos are vacuum-economics'd be a lot cooler if you did. And I'm like, wait, you're being a lot cooler? It'd be a lot cooler. It's been a long time since I rock and roll. It's been one week since you've steal a car.
Starting point is 00:08:56 That's great. That's great. We can end the show. It's been. All right, before he burglarized several vehicles in Ingleside, the Lake County Sheriff's Office responded to a theft on January 3rd according to Lake County. A man was at Crosspoint Church in Ingleside
Starting point is 00:09:16 when he returned to his car. So this was a car stolen. From a church. In his car, which, oh no, no, he stole other things from a car. Returned to his car where he could not find his wallet, which had how much cash in it, and credit cards, and other important documents.
Starting point is 00:09:33 How much cash was in this guy's wallet? Well, it's church, so it's tax free. Right. Who leaves their wallet in the car, stupid idea. And who's carrying cash? I'll go $80 cash. $80 cash? I'm gonna go $175.
Starting point is 00:09:49 $560. Get your answers in. This guy had $400 cash. Whoa! Is he in Vegas? What, he just do three stand-up shows? At the store? What do you, who has $400 on them?
Starting point is 00:10:01 In cash. Ever. Ever. Dan. Everybody in Goodfellas. I bet they were like 20s and 10s. Like no 100s, no 50s, just a bunch. Wait, and this is in the wallet.
Starting point is 00:10:11 That's a lot of money. In the wallet. Unless you're doing hundreds. By the way, if you have $400 in your wallet, shame on you for leaving it in your car. How about this? How about he didn't have any of that money in there and he's jacking up the amount of money
Starting point is 00:10:22 he might be doing. Because it's cash, it's cash. How do you trace that? They're unmarked bills. I need $400 back. No one carries $400. I like this plan. The victim was notified by his bank later that day
Starting point is 00:10:32 about suspicious purchases made by one of his credit cards in Foxley. Thies said the purchases were made at, this'll tell you all you need to know about this guy. Close. What'd he say? Dollar Tracy. JCPenney? Family Dollar. There you go you need to know this guy dollars. What do you say dollar Tracy penny? Family dollar there you go family dollar there you go Walgreens
Starting point is 00:10:51 Shell shell he's on one corner McDonald's. Yeah, this is an intersection one Video footage was received and showed Sean M Johnson will guess his age later of Richmond get out of an older model pickup truck and walk to a Motel Johnson was seen again on video a short time later walking to McDonald's at the same time Yeah, the victim's card was used to purchase the food Yes, the pickup first of all the pickup truck involved was stolen out of Beloit, Wisconsin Dan. Where's Beloit? You know, it's just north of Rochelle right over the border Oh, you know where it is Rochelle Rockford below
Starting point is 00:11:25 Johnson was interviewed by members of the sheriff's office after he was taken in custody in Wisconsin He identified himself in the McDonald's surveillance video and admitted to stealing the pickup truck So I bet they were like is that you in that that video. Yeah, I stole the truck. I stole a truck I'm not trying to talk bad about McDonald's, but they put pickles on my burger and said I didn't want it. So why aren't they here? How come we're not trying that? Why did they put the system on trial?
Starting point is 00:11:51 Why do the pickles have ridges? That's what I asked all about. And the pickles have started talking to me too. They don't know they don't fall off there. Oh yeah, that would be a slide. It gives you traction. I'm not trying to say I'm mad, but I'm kind of pissed. All he asked was really breathy. Really breathy. I'm not trying to say I'm mad, but I'm kind of pissed
Starting point is 00:12:16 Were you in McDonald's I went into there and first of all, I'm gonna say it and I you know I know it ain't nice, but I don't like the kiosks Taking away the jobs from the working you guys have a personal a personal interaction like the one you had when you stole the truck. And I don't know why we lost the grilled chicken snack wrap ever since the pandemic. All right, sir. And they never bring it back and they used to have breakfast all day and I'm not saying I'm mad, but I'm kind of-
Starting point is 00:12:35 Sir, was that you in the stolen truck right there? No, that truck drove me. Okay, okay. Well, he said he was- He was technically not wrong. He said he was walking around when he saw a bag of Fritos sitting in front of the truck so he opened the door and saw the keys were inside
Starting point is 00:12:48 which led him to steal the vehicle. If you have a, people are just way too loose with everything. Wallets in cars with 400 bucks in it apparently, allegedly. Fritos just sitting out like you're not gonna eat it. Like that to me is the most egregious thing ever. Keys in a truck that's open, come on.
Starting point is 00:13:04 This guy, I like that he admits that he did everything wrong. He said he was staying at the Fox Lake Motel, sir. You admitted to burglarizing several vehicles at the Crosspoint Church in Ingleside, including stealing the wall belonging to the male victim who made the report with the sheriff's office. Johnson admitted to using the credit card
Starting point is 00:13:20 at several locations, including McDonald's. He drove the stolen pickup truck back to Beloit where he abandoned it. So he didn't want the truck. He wanted the freedom. More about the friends he made along the way. It's a vehicle journey. It's the journey. The nine different places you have to.
Starting point is 00:13:34 It's the journey, it's not the destination. Exactly, that's why I'm so upset about the kiosks. He wanted to meet somebody. Interaction. I like connecting. We don't interact anymore. Johnson claimed he committed the crimes because he was on drugs.
Starting point is 00:13:48 He was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, burglary, two counts of identity theft, and unlawful possession of identification card. At the time of the incident, Johnson was already on pretrial release in Lake County for two other similar, there you go, which he was released from in jail just one month prior to his latest offenses.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Lake County Judge Ari Fizz. That's correct. That's not a name. The soda king. Yeah, exactly. The soda king of Beloit. Great movie. Granted petitions to revoke Johnson's pre-trial release
Starting point is 00:14:17 and remanded him to the Lake County jail pending trial before we get out of here. How old. This is kind of all over the place. Is Shawn M. Johnson, this is the guy who saw a bag of Fritos. It spoke to him enough to get in the car, oh, keys, let's go on a little. I know, but like family dollar is all over the place.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And he took credit cards, so he definitely bought like a spatula and some like laundry detergent. Yeah. And we're all picturing midday, right? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's church. They're in church.
Starting point is 00:14:45 So he wants McDonald's for lunch or breakfast. Yeah, sure, sure. He went to Family Dollar, he went to Walgreens. It's Filet-O-Fish. What do you think he gets at McDonald's? Motel. What do you think this clown gets at McDonald's? Double cheeseburger meal, you get the two.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah. Has anyone tried the double chicken Big Mac? I have not, but I've heard a lot of people talk about it. And they're saying it's solid? They're saying it's really good. One time Andrew Youngblood called the chick mac We were on tour and he ordered me check without my knowledge He ordered me an air land and sea for McDonald's and that was not good. No, so that's fish
Starting point is 00:15:16 Chicken and a burger all in one sandwich. Yeah, come on. Why what's the point? What it? Can you really do that? I've never even heard of that before. Yeah, they call it an air land and sea. Wow. And it doesn't really taste like anything. I call that a semi-amphibious assault. Last time I got McDonald's, it was on a road trip and I just wanted just a single cheeseburger.
Starting point is 00:15:38 That's all. When I opened up the wrapper, the cheese was underneath the top bun and on top of the top bun. It was folded over. And it was like late at night. It wasn't like they were in a rush to make this thing. And they messed that up and they threw it away.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I was like, what else did they mess up? Right. Did you hold it like this? In the commercial one? Yeah. The way people eat it. You just hold on the side. I've never seen anyone just hold on the side.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And the only way to eat like a McDonald's burger is to have one hand on it and the other hand on the steering wheel. 100%. Yeah. It doesn't taste good the other way. And you're thinking, how can I throw all this stuff away before I do?
Starting point is 00:16:11 Yeah. All right. The other hand on the bag of Fritos. One hand in your pocket. I've got one hand on my Fritos. There you go. Here we go. How old is Shawn M. Johnson?

It's neat because every, it's like depending on the comic or the performer, it's like you're just kind of trying to facilitate
Starting point is 00:21:51 whatever their vision is. How can I accentuate what they're doing? I want to ask you a little inside baseball comedy question. Oh please, yeah. I was just having this conversation last night with Irene Tu at the Comedy Store. Where do you think we are in comedy specials in terms of opening sketch
Starting point is 00:22:08 and audience reaction shots? So when Kurt and I were, like the first, like, you know, like, comedy special director was Kurt Braun or was a perfectly stupid and we were both like in that mindset. Like, like anyone is when they're coming in to realize like, we don't want any of these audience shots. That's just so old school. Who needs it? Why would you want to do that?
Starting point is 00:22:28 And then you go, oh, you need these. You need a cover. We need an edit cover. You need cover because you're gonna cut out some time. You're gonna cut between two shows. Yeah. It's like you need those shots. And going to a wide open time.
Starting point is 00:22:40 They've gone away way more than they used to be. So sometimes they replace with the shot from behind. Dude, there's a shot from behind, which is great, but that's also to me kind of a waste of a camera, because that's like one camera that you will only have that one shot where it's kind of a bummer. But yeah, again, it's like super fun to watch a person set and then kind of like with like Cananes,
Starting point is 00:23:00 he did a lot of stuff where he was facing the back, and so was that Wise Guys in Salt Lake City. So on each show, I would have a roaming camera guy go to the back corner of the stage, so we can cut between these two angles, if it's between two different shows, to make us, so you still see his face in, because he does such good face.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Oh yeah, and amazing. And so it's like watching someone's, like Adam Conover does a lot of stuff where he points down front and center. So you want him pointing right to the camera. Yeah, so I want the camera right there, and that's the kind of fun stuff I like, watching someone's, like Adam Conover does a lot of stuff where he points down front and center. And I was like. So you want him pointing right to the camera. Yeah, so I want the camera right there. And that's the kind of fun stuff I like.
Starting point is 00:23:28 It's like having been a part of comedy so long, it's like you know what your friends are, know how you would want to see it and what makes it punchier or more visually stimulating than just having someone on stage with a mic. And it's a weird spot to be in because you don't want the direction to take you out of what's going on,
Starting point is 00:23:44 but you just want it to enhance it so much more that you're like, god damn, that was cool. That was cool. Yeah, and I think having a random, I always have a roaming camera just getting kinda artsy, weird shots, because every once in a while, you want a new thing to pop up visually. And that's when I would make music videos,
Starting point is 00:23:57 it's the same thing, where it's like, you want something to reengage the person's prefrontal cortex, because they're gonna just start seeing the same stuff over and over, and then all of a sudden there's like a kind of a side angle or a weird angle or an obtuse kind of thing. And then they like, they'll subconsciously I think re-engage into what they're watching. So there were a number of these music like concerts
Starting point is 00:24:17 that the BBC did in like 1971 and it was Elton John. James Taylor. James Taylor and Neil Young. They're incredible in a studio, and crowd in the round kind of, and Cat Stevens. And some of the shots they did were exactly what you're talking about. Like, oh my God, this is like a revolutionary shot for the, I don't think people saw it at that time.
Starting point is 00:24:41 And it was just so cool. So it did that exact. And it wasn't all the time, it was just every once in a while. Because it moved all the time, then it just becomes once in a while. Every once in a while. Because if it was all the time, then it just becomes rote. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:48 So yeah, I've been having a good time doing those. So follow you on social media because I'm sure you'll let people know when those things are dropping. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Okay, there you go. All right, I'm gonna jump into the story right here. Sent by Sean Anderson at Sean, S-H-A-W-N-E 70.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Thank you, here we go, ready? Lawsuit says man broke his ankle jumping into Museum of Ice Cream cream sprinkle pool in SoHo. Oh, I've been to the museum of ice cream in San Francisco and I did jump into the sprinkle. Why? You're not allowed to? I think you're allowed to, I did.
Starting point is 00:25:16 But it's not gonna be as deep as you think it's gonna be? Dummy, you don't jump with your feet first, you jump and roll on your back. Head first. This is the Scrooge McDuck effect. People see something in any sort of pool form and they're like, oh, I can swim in this. I'm surprised you didn't dive in, maybe he said.
Starting point is 00:25:34 So wait, but I don't understand, and I have a picture of my kid buried in the sprinkles just to the face, it was fun. So a lawsuit filed this week alleges that a man was severely injured at the Museum of Ice Cream and Sprinkle Pool. If you're sending a lawsuit against the Museum of Ice Cream, how much of a downer are you?
Starting point is 00:25:53 What's going on? Well, I'm suing. With who? The Museum of Ice Cream. I'm suing fun. I'm suing happiness. I know, but look. And don't be on the side of this guy
Starting point is 00:26:05 there's an adult film star named Adriana Chechik who was at like a Convention sort of deal and they had something that looked like a big tub of like balls and stuff that you could jump into It was extremely shallow big tub of balls Jumped it. She broke her back Yes, and they so I haven't seen most of her work is done on her back. So! Yes, and they, so I haven't seen this. And most of her work is done on her back. So, so there it is. I know another situation where she broke her back. But it might look super like jump in-able,
Starting point is 00:26:32 cause there are various museums, like the one, is it the same one? If you don't know what it is, if you can't see into it, don't jump in. I've talked about this, this is the Ozarks, this is my number one of my big fears. How about like the guy, there's videos and tic-tacs of like Russian guys in their underwear like jumping out into like icy things and they think they're gonna go through
Starting point is 00:26:51 Oh, it just hits How about the woman who tried to jump off the roof under trampoline into an above-ground pool? She just hits the trampoline goes straight Yeah, go straight into this like at the Ozarks a lot of people like to jump off bridges in the Lake of the Ozarks, and most of those bridges have rebar under them. And people, this happens every year. So I am very pro, I'm not just gonna jump into that. But what if it's like a Frito bag and it's just Asuka?
Starting point is 00:27:18 I mean, come on. Come on, buddy, jump into the lake. Why don't you jump into the lake, buddy? I would jump into a whole thing of Fritos and eat my way out. The state suit claims that the Soho venue created quote reasonable but false expectation that jumping the pool is safe through its marketing,
Starting point is 00:27:35 through its social media posts, asking people if they're ready to quote jump in. All right, do we have a case? So I'm saying, how inviting was this? But what if jump in was in quotes? Oh. Do you know what I'm saying, if you're ready to jump in, maybe take part in.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Yeah. According to the lawsuit, a plaintiff, Jeremy Shor, S-H-O-R-R. Polly's brother. Did just that at a March visit with his daughters. Don't do that, like what are you teaching your kids? Yeah, it's like he's struggling, he wants to look so cool in front of his daughters.
Starting point is 00:28:08 You're not cool Jeremy. And he's like, you know what, I'm gonna take him to that ice cream thing, they're not having a good time because who cares about this place. I'm gonna jump in, I'll jump start the fun. And they're all gonna be like, dad's so fun. Dad's so fun, he jumped into the place where he wasn't supposed to be. Mom's wrong, dad is fun.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Randy, was it you eight, nine years ago, did you sprain your ankle playing tennis? Yeah, oh, broke my foot. That's what it was. Broke my foot playing tennis. This is one of those things too, like the instant. You know. You know.
Starting point is 00:28:33 And so this guy, most of them like, cause he's there with his daughters, he's probably wanting to be fun dad. That's what he said. Yeah, sorry, jumps in. It's his weekend. No one's listening to you, Jon. Instantly like pops, and he's like.
Starting point is 00:28:45 That's it. Oh and by the way, when you hurt yourself as a parent with little kids, because I'm guaranteed they're little kids. The story of the dunking thing, when you dunked on an eight foot hoop. Oh, so my daughter, I blame her, essentially challenged me. It's like you can't.
Starting point is 00:29:01 But this guy's crazy for suing ice cream. Yeah. Over here blaming the daughter. No, to dunk on an eight foot basketball hoop while she had a game, a practice going on. And you had never heard of the Tom Segura story? Oh, I had heard of it. So I dunk, grab on the rim.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Grab on the rim, to like rim shake. I swing my legs up, but what I don't realize is that my fingers are going to at some point let go. And then I fall directly down onto my back, like eight feet, or seven and a half feet, whatever it was, I fell straight down onto my back. It made the loudest noise, everyone in the gym looked over me, and then I had to get up
Starting point is 00:29:37 and pretend I was okay. When I was horrible. So how much money did you make when you sued the basketball? I sued the Museum of Ice Cream. I basketball? I sued the Museum of Ice Cream. I sued my daughter and the Museum of Ice Cream. No, but no, it was one of those things where when you get hurt and it's your fault, like everyone was mad at me.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Like you get no, like no one's caring for you in your house when you have responsibilities for your kids and you're hurt. So you're gonna jump in and do this? So with his daughter to the self-described Experium, which features a series of interactive rooms celebrating ice cream, I'd go to that. It's great.
Starting point is 00:30:10 It alleges the venue failed to make the pool deep enough and calculate the proper amount and dimensions of the faux sprinkles, so the plunge left him with severe and permanent injuries to his right leg, ankle, and other body parts. That's lawsuit talk. What other body parts? Pull the ligament.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yeah, yeah. You're nuts. Diggin' bones. Because he was jumping in with a massive erection. Yeah, you can't stop popping all those sprinkles. That's how he wanted to hide it. I gotta get out of here. Adriano Chechnik or whatever story,
Starting point is 00:30:35 he was just thinking about a lot of stuff. I'm not hard anymore! Don't jump into him. You won't be damaged. Anytime he walks into the Museum of's screaming, he is rock hard. He's just like, I'm so happy to be here. Guess who's excited, let me jump on them sprinkles. All right, the lawsuit doesn't specify the pool's depth,
Starting point is 00:30:55 but pictures on the museum's website and social media from its various locations, including Singapore, show adults and children standing with sprinkles reaching their ankles and lower legs. Look at the pictures from Singapore. Before you dive into any pool, check the Singapore report. The Singapore report. The Singapore report.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Doesn't the Singapore report sound like a failed Tom Cruise movie? It was the sequel to the Pelican Free. Which was the prequel to the Minority. One post. We are twinning. On the museum's Instagram page, included a voiceover that said, "'This went a lot better in my head,'
Starting point is 00:31:40 "'where a person jumps off a diving board "'alongside the sprinkle pool, "'bounces as she hits the sprinkles, "'and then faceplants into them. The museum's marketing materials show adults and children alike using the pools. Supposing for the university to decline the comment, the lawsuit claims the museum is aware of the alleged danger, citing a Daily Mail article from 2021 with the headline, Well That Bombed, Woman Falls Flat on Her Face When She Cannonballs in the Pool of giant sprinkles.
Starting point is 00:32:05 It also references a video posted on TikTok of August 12th, last year documenting a leg injury sustained by a visitor who jumped in the pool. If you're gonna have a pool of sprinkles that's only 12 to 18 inches off, you should have a lifeguard on board being like, hey, no jumping. Or a scientist says no jumping.
Starting point is 00:32:22 It's gotta be something fun, like a clown or someone dressed in a sugar cone. Or just two scoops of mint chocolate chip. The misguided confidence of like I can jump it. To cannonball into a sprinkle tub. You're breaking your pelvis, like that's it. The concoctsics is done. That's a woman who does not wanna bear children.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Other materials on the museum site. What the fuck was that? Wow, weird. Real huge judgment there. I'm just trying to give options for abortion in states that you've got to, all right. Other materials on the museum's site don't appear to address the depth of the pool
Starting point is 00:32:57 or whether they're appropriate for all visitors. An FAQ stresses that regularly, it's regularly cleaned, ensuring fresh and clean experience with every jump. How would you even do that? And the site's health and safety page says the only, that guests are free to swim in the sprinkle pool at their leisure. When Gothamists searched the sprinkle pool on TikTok,
Starting point is 00:33:17 they found and solved six cold case. No. No. The sprinkle pool fails, was one of the top recommended searches. The result shows several videos showing people jumping in the pool and landing flatly on the sprinkles, including one posted by ESPN with the caption,
Starting point is 00:33:35 that didn't go as planned. No, it's dense. According to Suits, Short has been unable to engage in the same daily activity since his injury and anticipates needed surgery, plus he broke his penis. It's not the first time the sprinkle pools have upset people. same daily activity since his injury and anticipates needed surgery, plus he broke his penis. It's not the first time the sprinkle pools have upset people.
Starting point is 00:33:48 In 2018, they made headlines when officials in Miami and San Francisco complained that plastics from the venue were littering their cities. Oh, I'm sure it's stuck to people's bodies. Yes, yeah, they didn't walk around. Yeah, and this guy now can never drive by a colt zone without breaking into the front of the church. Exactly, without feeling it.
Starting point is 00:34:04 It's like SD. You know how like when you hurt your leg and then you can tell when it's gonna rain? Yeah, yeah. Can never drive by a colt zone without breaking the fucking exactly without feeling it in a play SD You know like when you hurt your leg, and then you can tell when it's gonna rain Yeah, you can hurt his leg and tell when someone's getting some mix ins Does the like risk reward of these sprinkle pools go away like all you you just listed like nine times Where these went wrong? I know they're like littering cities people What are we gonna do, get rid of them? People love this. Dan, this is, I used to do a bit
Starting point is 00:34:30 or I used to talk about how when I knew that I became a responsible adult is when I was driving down the street in my neighborhood, I saw an overturned box. And you avoided it. And I went around it. Now younger you would've been like, I'd be able to brush it. I'd be like, that would be cool to crush it. You younger you would have been like, brush it, brush it.
Starting point is 00:34:46 That would be cool to crush it. I don't know what's in there. That's true, that's a good point. And then I drove around, because I'm like, I don't know what's underneath it. What if there's like a car motor? I don't know how deep that sprinkle pool is. I'm not gonna cannonball.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I'm not gonna even a can opener. Or I will climb into it first, feel how deep it is, and then I'll decide. I can't. Yeah, I'm gonna weigh it into any situation. Is it a fathom deep? I don't know. How many leagues?
Starting point is 00:35:10 Leagues of sprinkles. 20 leagues under the sprinkles? 20 leagues under the icing. All right, there you go. There it is, there it is. If you can't see the bottom, you don't know there ain't sharks in there. That's right, true.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Sprinkle NATO. All right, there you go. That is story number two. Daniel, give us a little taste of what we got from story number two. Oh, the little Caesar's lady's true. Sprinkle NATO. All right. There you go. That is story number two. Daniel, give us a little taste of what we got from story number two. Oh, the little Caesar's lady's back. Oh, I love it.

It's just of course in dumb people town There's a woman who used to work for Little Caesars and is now just out there for the love of the game Oh, she no longer works for Little Caesars? Oh, I miss the people too much, she said. I love everybody, it's my happy place.
Starting point is 00:44:49 She took the part-time job in 2010, along with a second part-time job as a cashier at the Dollar Tree, which she later quit. And that might be my favorite part of the story. She was like, Little Caesars, fine. Dollar Tree, I. I draw the line. I mean, the thing is though,
Starting point is 00:45:04 like what she's doing with Little Caesars, like she's I draw the line. I mean, the thing is though, like what she's doing with Little Caesar is like she's getting activities. Exercise. Which of course is being snuffed out by the amount of free pizza and breadsticks she's probably getting on top of that. But if you're working at Little Caesar's and Dollar Tree, you are seeing the same 17 people.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Yes. Every day. What's up Dave? Both jobs. Hey Dave. I'm one of them. And they're big. And they're big. In both jobs, someone, at least two people every day,
Starting point is 00:45:28 is like, can you watch my kids for 20 minutes? Yeah. And she's like, I gotta go do this thing. Yeah. And at both jobs, people are trying to return half eaten food at both jobs. Hey, Dan, do you think she was the original sign flipper? Like she kind of?
Starting point is 00:45:50 Flip the thing yes or no, there's a real like national competition for sign flippers. Yeah Don't know there's a game. Yeah, there's a games there. I'm flipping games on the sign flipping games. No, yes It's a sports comp. Have you guys done like no? We have to bring up that question not knowing that they would know about of course The problem is nobody knows where it is. Yeah. That's so funny. They need someone outside to show them. The valet, the valet.
Starting point is 00:46:12 I thought either A, they would definitely know, or B. Cool, valet, the valet. B, they would tell me the guy in the 80s who got second place that they happen to know the name. I forgot to tell you guys. You mean Mike Grubb? Sure. Dan, the 2020 World Sign Spinning Championships.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Yeah, that Biden ruined. This is the music? My name is Justin Brown, I'm the director of training for the Aero Sign Spinners. I'm also the head judge of the World Sign Spinning Championships. Oh my God, dude. So many people there.
Starting point is 00:46:43 What's going on this year is amazing. We judge on three different categories, which is style, theoretical, villain, execution. Oh my god, dude so many people there Why isn't this me like I was gonna say this has to be an NBA halftime show an execution they execute each one of these No style they chop someone's head off with a sign Her shifts at Little Caesars lasted about five or six hours and her enthusiasm on the corner started to get noticed. So she'd be out there five or six hours dancing. How old is she? How does she have any heart problems? This is like a lot of movement. I'm gonna read a name based on name alone. We would never follow it with General Manager at Little Caesar's. Madison Durand, General Manager at Little Caesar's. Madison Duran, General Manager at Little Caesar's. Not your host at the casino.
Starting point is 00:47:28 I thought Madison Duran was that website where you want to cheat on your wife. No, that's where you cheat on your pet. You walk another dog that you like more. I logged on to Madison Duran. And now I'm walking a Pekingese. Without their own knowing. The General Manager at Little Caesar's said when she first met Barackman she was a little
Starting point is 00:47:48 kid. I don't know which one was the little kid, Madison or Sharon. If Barackman was a little kid and she's been doing this this long. Mary, Mary Brackman. Mary Brackman won it all. Mary Mary why you Brackman. She was instantly tuned in to Brackman's radiating positivity. She lives to be on that corner. This is the wire. On it.
Starting point is 00:48:11 So it's waving to anybody and seeing them smile. And it's one of the main things she cares about. Mary said she will continue dancing on her corner because it gives her strength and she missed it dearly. Now instead of Little Caesar's guitar, that's awesome, people might remember her for having before, She will continue dancing on her corner because it gives her strength and she missed it dearly now instead a little Caesars guitar That's awesome people might remember her from having before she now dances with a pink guitar instead That's right. If I didn't have the corner, I think I'd be depressed. This is the wire. That's it. Totally Said Tavon get up on them quarters get her up in the tower. She said prior to her surgery
Starting point is 00:48:41 She could be out there dancing for hours But now she only goes out when she's filling up to it Wait, the surgery is supposed to help you dance more. Well, she's got to recover from it. She's got to recover. Fine. She said she's building up her endurance. She plans to keep dancing for as long as she can. Great. Someone might need a wave or a hug a smile making people smile is the only part of what motivates Mary. She also explained that listening to music and playing her guitar allows her to really get into the dancing The fact that people are driving by not just staring her is staring her they have to move on it Kept keeps her from being so a second listening to the music really helps her get into the dancing. I don't see the core I'm not seeing the connection. We all know dancing existed before How in the world you guys always do a music show every year. Right. With Jonah. Well, some
