They went to the back deck and saw a ladder up against
Starting point is 00:07:52 the back of the house. So now we know how he did it. Or he's like, once everybody to know that is not how he got up there. That ladder was already here. I did not use that to get on this roof. Yeah, they didn't do it. They said that's when they saw
Starting point is 00:08:04 Nason on the roof. And Nason on the roof is my favorite musical. I really do love. It's so Jewish. I mean, well, if you like Delf on the shelf on the shelf, you're going to love Nasson on the roof. Delf on the shelf? Sure.
Starting point is 00:08:15 If I were a mess on the roof. man all right although they've never seen nason before so now this isn't like a guy who's like in their lives was it was it can i just ask did they say whose ladder it was the ladder they didn't say but brought his own ladder or if it's theirs you kind of have to be like put your ladder away that's that's what i'm kind of i'm kind of i'm kind of a nascent side yeah i'm on the nation do you see what they were both wearing yeah they had it coming to them all right ladder uh they okay if you leave a ladder outside your house it's like if you give a mouse a cookie yeah Leave a layer outside of your heart.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah. Expect a crazy guy to climb onto your roof. You're inviting him. Although they've never seen Nason before. When they asked him what he was doing, they said he yelled down to them and said he was trying to retrieve drugs out of the chimney. Oh. So he is like Santa. Yeah, it is sort of a Sanna. It's like a reverse Santa.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Wait, and sorry. And his name is Nason? Nason. That's his last name. Oh. Stephen Nason. I have all of Stephen Nason's albums. It's a lot of flute jazz.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I thought it was like Nathan, but Nason. Mason. A version of Nathan. Really making me laugh. Because you know how parents will sometimes do that? Just to make it different. Yeah, just to make their kids name different. So this is our son, Mason.
Starting point is 00:09:26 And these are our other kids, Bracen and Jason. Wait, hang on a second. Are you saying Nathan? No, it's Mason. Jason. I can see it happening. I could so see it. And this is no burn.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I know there's a lot of them. But like, whenever I hear the name Lara, I'm like, come on, you guys. Laura. Yeah, yeah. Just put the you in there. You in there. Laura. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:48 We have a friend his wife's name. Yeah, it's a beautiful name. And I listen to Dr. Laura. I do love her. Lera. Yeah, Lara. Lera.
Starting point is 00:09:58 They called police, and when Bangor Fire and Police responded, the fire department, put a basket up near the roof. There's a ladder right there. No. I'd be scared to climb back down the ladder. The residence boyfriend said Nason then jumped from the roof to the basket.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Holy crap. He's Jason born. He's Nasonborn. I'm sorry, is your son, Nasonborn? He should be Jason. He grabbed the axe that was attached to it and then jump back on the roof. So that didn't go his plan. Wait, the axe was attached to what?
Starting point is 00:10:31 To the basket. Why is there an axe attached? And sorry, can you, can you remind, can you tell us what's going on with this basket again? So the fire department comes over and brings the big ladder with the basket. Cherry picker on top. Okay. It goes up right by the roof. He jumps from the.
Starting point is 00:10:45 roof to the basket, pulls the axe off, jumps back to the roof. This feels like Super Mario. Okay. Why is there an axe just like sticking out? Right. This is available to a crazy man. So as far as we're concerned, and I'm now grouping us together, there are two mistakes. Someone left the ladder out.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah. They're just begging someone to climb up. Someone left the ladder in the ring. And now someone's leaving an axe in the bag. You don't leave your axe in the basket. Guys, get all your home equipment and put it away. How many times do I told you this? Never leave your axe in the basket.
Starting point is 00:11:17 I say, guys, that's like a corporate term now. We really left the axe in the basket on this one, guys. I'm sorry. Guys got to run it up the flagpole. Your own things are now being used against you. You left the accident. Who sent that email out to the client? You really left the ax in the room.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Oh, dear. Ready for it. Okay, here we go. The residence boyfriend said, okay, jump to the basket. He jumped from our roof to the basket, retrieve the axe, and proceeded to chop holes in. our roof. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:11:45 You're giving him now a thing. Peter Rared it. Oh, my God. The police made it worse. They literally made it worse. A banger fire chief. Never. No, first time.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Jeffrey Lowe told WAABI. They used the basket as an attempt to treat someone in crisis with dignity and respect. Well, they picked the wrong guy. Again, you left the axe in the basket. Yeah. You're there to de-escalate and you brought the guy an axe. This is his quote, the fire chief.
Starting point is 00:12:12 we wouldn't have expected that he said well obviously look we thought a guy on the roof looking for drugs in the chimney was going to be fine we would obviously leave an axe alone now look I say we send the basket back up I'm gonna tape a gun to the side of the flame thrower on the side of it
Starting point is 00:12:30 we'll just see if he grabs it I was going to say hold a trampoline on the ground shotgun there you go yeah we'll bounce it up there and see what he does all right but the plan went south he said nothing it's nothing we would pre-plan we certainly don't train for that
Starting point is 00:12:46 what do you mean it happened like I love these like making it seem like I didn't do this it happened he's also like how many things do I have to say before this interview is over right he's just trying to like throw it was an unexpected consequence
Starting point is 00:13:00 of trying to do something good for him he's really trying to make it sound like he didn't screw up we put the basket up there oh my god we were trying to do the right thing by bangor police called the incident abnormal and the fact that it went on as long as it did, but dealing with people in crisis is a regular part of the job. We look at the people
Starting point is 00:13:16 on the street right now that people would call concerned about and there's help for everyone out there's. Let me ask the two of you. Yeah. You as well. I just... Would you go up on the roof if somebody was on your roof? No. I think I would. Daniel would. I mean, pre-ax.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Pre-ax, I'm going to go up there. I'd be afraid that he'd try and push me off. Yeah, same. Like, yeah. Then you have like a American Gladiator's Jousting. I'm like, I don't know if I I have the balance to stay on a roof with someone coming after me. I want to know how they finally got him off the roof. What if they don't?
Starting point is 00:13:49 Well, he comes with the house now. Squatters rules. It's right. It's his roof now. People can make bad decisions. We can't make them accept assistance if they don't want to. Sergeant Jason McCambly of the Bangor Police Farmers said. Police said Nason was taken.
Starting point is 00:14:04 But isn't it literally their job to detain or arrest? That is your job. He's literally saying, like, look, if some people don't want to do it, they're supposed to do what do you want us to do about it there's only so much we can do as a police the whole point of your time that's right is to do that yeah uh he said he was taken into custody all right so they heard the noise at four a m yeah what time do you think they actually took him into custody well they're hearing the noise and then there's yelling figuring out what it is you go fight between you and your wife about what you're going to do about or girlfriend in the scenario
Starting point is 00:14:34 girlfriend in yeah these guys got to get there at some point the basket goes up that's probably two minutes basket up and down then he's job give him an act An axe. How long do you think the fire department takes to get there in bank? I think it's, I think they finally got him off the roof probably around noon. Eight hours? Yeah. No, I don't think that long.
Starting point is 00:14:54 What do you think? I think four. I think eight a.m. Eight a. I'm going to go six a. This is two hours of madness. One of you is a half hour off. Oh, I'll go to six 30.
Starting point is 00:15:06 I'll go 1130. No, you guys can't change your. Yeah, you can't. We have a half hour. I can go up or down. I'm changing mine to 8.30. Okay, 8.3 and get your answers in. He, and then we'll guess his age, too.
Starting point is 00:15:21 He was off the roof at 11.30. Thank you very much. Oh, 1130 a year. That's a long time to be. Yeah, that is Squatters rights. It's kind of. It's his roof now. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:30 We're going to get out of here on this. He's away, he's in jail awaiting his first court appearance. How old? I think they should keep him on the roof of the jail. Yeah. Just put him in a situation. Isn't he sort of like a cat who's in the closet where you're like, where you're like, we can't get her.
Starting point is 00:15:45 She's going to just come out eventually. Yeah. Because I was going to say, did they say how they got him off? They didn't say, but I'm assuming like some coaxing. We got a bigger axe down here and like, yeah. Probably a bag of a reading. We found your drugs. It's down here.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I was going to say he probably when he got the axe thought there's drugs in the roof. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for this. And then just. Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. They're not in the chimney.
Starting point is 00:16:05 They're in the roof. Right. How old is he? What was that old joke? Do you know the joke I'm talking about? Were they telling to tell the kids that the cat died or something like that? Oh. They said their cat died and the parents said to the kids, he's on the roof.
Starting point is 00:16:24 You know, the cat's on the roof. And that was what they said that the cat. He lives on the roof? Yeah, he's on the roof. And then, Lee, months later, your grandmother was she? Whatever she's on the roof. All right. She died.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Okay, here we go. We did that horribly, but it is like, we figured it out. I disagree entirely. It was like you and us. I didn't know if I should clap. It was like, no, that was like you and me trying to figure out where our passports. Or me trying to remember the actor or the best in show. Two of us on a podcast trying to remember the Wi-Fi code.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yeah. What is it? How old is Stephen Mason, Mason? Nathan. And I love Nason's hot dog. I think he's either really old or really young. Okay, so you got to pick one. You got to go.
Starting point is 00:17:09 I don't think he's in the middle. Like, where are you? Yeah. I think he's either like, I'm going to guess that he's 68. It's so good. I'll go 27. 27 years old. 44.

And my brother, Jonah and I talk about nostalgic things. have to have you guys on because I've already gotten a little taste of some of your experiences with Steven Seagal and Jonah is a huge Steven Seagal. Really? Or he was when we were kids and has also followed him down the dark hole of
Starting point is 00:25:11 Oh, we'll do it. Was his hosting episode still lore when you're? Yes. No one really talked about it that much, but it's why they know. I knew that like, you knew that that was the worst all time. I heard the table read was as bad as the show itself. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure it was worse because it was much longer. Yeah, for sure. Right. There was stuff that was cut from that. And there wasn't a crowd between like you and him.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah. So it's so intimate. Yeah. We'll get into that stuff. Wait, what was the name of you? You're the Bar Mitzvah kid. Jacob.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Jacob. I was like, it could have been Jonah. Actually, it was Naked. Oh, a lot of people think it was Jonah. They, a lot of people who are his friends from adulthood would see me doing it and say you're doing Jonah. It's such a, I mean, having been bar mitzvah, but Benet's foot, but just, it's Such a brilliant, it was like that and the Will Forte quiet character of the politician were like two things that I was like, I can't believe how powerful these two like characters are going into themselves.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Oh, that's so nice. So funny and so smart. So, oh, wait, what's the age differential between your brother? So Jonah's two years older than me. And he lives in Massachusetts now, but we were both in New York basically the whole time I was in New York. Oh, that's awesome. And we talk about, we have this podcast called How Did We Get Weird? Where we talk about nostalgic things.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And it sort of started when we, we have always been, like, texting each other. Like, do you remember that thing that, like, that video game where, like, you know. You're like, Cuberd. I got it. Yeah. And just going down, like, these rabbit holes of old things. Is it food? Like anything?
Starting point is 00:26:51 Like, doger. So every, every top, we have a guest every episode. And we, you know, we've done. everything from lean pockets to, uh, skipits to, um, pretending to be sick to miss school, video rental stores. I'm trying to think what we, we recently did, uh, personal pan pizzas. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, we got into book it separately on a different episode, but yeah, that was a huge, that was a huge boon for personal pan pizzas was bucket. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Have you guys ever done like personal pan pizza was like, this whole meal is for me. Like,
Starting point is 00:27:27 There was like a something of like I'm a king or a queen and that I get this whole. Have you guys ever done like the first nude scene you saw in a movie? No, but if a guest wanted to talk about that, we would do it. It just, because we're brother's sister. Yeah, but it is weird. It is weird. That first time, I remember being like a movie theater and there was like, I was like, oh, like I was freaked out. Like I was like, what is it?
Starting point is 00:27:53 What are we watching? Yeah. I remember what movie that was. Basic instinct. but it was weird um i love that i love nostalgia shit too also when somebody says something that unlocked something for you you didn't even like you had forgotten about totally we have so much nostalgia stuff from st louis and my son is like inherently nostalgic in such a funny way like we were driving this is so funny we were driving he's seven almost 17 driving on the street
Starting point is 00:28:20 and he's like oh i'm feeling so nostalgic for that place and i'm like the place the restaurant we at like a week ago and like I don't think you understand what nostalgia means and he looked at me and he was like remember when you said that and I'm like that is funny that is funny that's a good one but he is so like into like instant he's like I'm feeling nostalgic for the thing that I'm doing right now like he just loves it he's like I know I'll think of this later and we were so like that people places baseball cars food like restaurants in St. Louis and so I'm trying to do that to my kids when I take them home. We did an episode of,
Starting point is 00:28:56 I think we did with Will Forte an episode about baseball carts. Oh my God. It's the best. I mean, it was such a huge part of our lives. Like, we collected him for stalling and then Randy wrecked the car by driving over our median,
Starting point is 00:29:08 not our car, our mom's car. And we had to fix it and sell our baseball cards to pay to fix it. And like with each one that the guy took in the store, we were like, like it took a little piece. You know, it does seem like from my limited knowledge from the podcast we did about it,
Starting point is 00:29:24 You have to have a pretty, like, specific mint-conditioned baseball card for it to be worth anything. Oh, yeah. You think, like, oh, by now, they're all worth millions of dollars. And it's like, actually, they're probably worth them. It's like when you go to sell your clothes to, like, a secondhand store. And you're like, this is great. They're going to give me so much money.
Starting point is 00:29:43 And they're like, it's $11 or $15. $11 or $13 of store credit. Yeah. You're like, what? Both sound terrible. Yeah. No, thanks. These are both bad options.
Starting point is 00:29:54 It's like $11 or you can buy us Or you can work at the store for two months And you're like, I don't want to work at Buffalo store Yeah I mean I like it here but I don't I don't want to work here Yeah I just wanted to sell another job
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah I have other in the middle of saying they're like Can you ring up a customer right there's someone in the back Can I unlock that changing room? Do you have the key to the drive? I don't have the key to someone threw up in the park What I have to clean that up Just get the strawberry salts in this board All right Daniel give a story
Starting point is 00:30:22 Are you ready for story number two? We're ready Also, check out Maddie's secret when it comes out. Your movie just premiered a tip, right? Yes, yes. Well, really, John Early's incredible movie. Comedy's genre. But I hope it, by the time this podcast comes out, I hope it has a distributor.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Would be great. I can't wait to see it. I'm also in Freakier Friday. You are? Yes. Let's go. Which is out, maybe not in theaters by the time this comes out. Maybe it's not in theaters anymore.
Starting point is 00:30:47 But maybe it is, but you can get it on streaming, DVR. Watching. Watch her in that movie. It's a big movie. I mean, freaky, I'm nostalgic. about the original Freaky Friday. The original. That's a very nostalgic movie, I will say.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I put that in the same category as the Shaggy D.A. Oh, that goes way back, yeah. Just like Parent Trap, you can go back and then go way back. Parent Trap is like, we watch that a lot in my house. Yeah, oh, we used to watch the Haley Mills one. Yeah, same. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:14 You guys ready for story number two? Yes. Send in by Carleen McDermott at She B. Carleen. This story is going to prove that either, it's either going to prove that, it's either going to prove that we don't plan the stories we're going to each bring in at all, or it's going to make people think that we definitely do.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Here's the headline. Someone stuck on a... Woman forced to install sign outside of house explaining why dog is always on roof. We did not plan this. Wait, so dog is... You didn't?
Starting point is 00:31:43 No. We did not. Because we don't read each other's... Now, I put my story into our shared dock first. I'll admit that. But I guarantee you I didn't look at yours. I believe... I don't want to know details before. Yeah, so we don't look at the other stories. So she, so many people have asked her questions of why her dog is on the roof.
Starting point is 00:31:59 No, I think so many people are like, you have a dog on your roof. Woman forced to, forced to install sign outside of house explaining why dog is always on roof. What is the sign saying? Forced by who? Beware of dog on roof? Who forced her? People probably keep not, that's wild. That's a big dog.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And the dog kind of looks like it doesn't want to be there. I bet people come up to the house and knock on the door and say there's a dog on your roof. There's a, you know, you're getting more knocks than the pizza house from Breaking Bed. You know your dog's on the roof. Those people are mad. Have you heard about that? Yes. That woman is pissed.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Really? Because the scene from the episode where he throws the pizza up onto the roof in Breaking Bad, Walter White's house. Are you putting the emphasis on breaking? Breaking Bad. But you're not, it's Breaking Bad. Oh, no, Vince Gilligan put out a whole thing. It's supposed to be called Breaking Bed. No.
Starting point is 00:32:49 What? I'm lying. So. people would go to this people would go to this house you put on a whole thing he uh yeah it was like it was like hall h comic con about it breaking
Starting point is 00:33:02 bed um he people go to this house and they throw pizzas up on the roof oh my god stop it yes the woman is pissed add a dog on the room no no there's no dog on that that dog would love it they throw axes to the dog who's a good doggy this dog definitely again
Starting point is 00:33:19 seeing the picture does not look like it wants to be up there Yeah, don't you think after, like, the fifth knock that day, they don't even come to the door. They just yell from the window. He's fine, he's fine. He knows what he's doing. We know. But why is he up there? A woman has been forced to install a sign outside her house.
Starting point is 00:33:33 I just love the, we know. After her neighbors shared their concerns about her dog's unusual behavior. Hey, your dogs up, we know. It's like in the line in Rocket Man. Yeah. Or in Major Tom. Okay. The ground control of Major Tom, the day.
Starting point is 00:33:50 You're really doing well? Yeah, what are you, 80? He says, tell my wife I love her, and then quickly, someone's like, she knows. Oh, yeah, yeah, they're coming right back. She knows. She knows. Yes. She knows you love her.
Starting point is 00:34:05 We know the dogs on the roof. It's like someone, he's trying to go to Michigan, Trow being like, listen, if it happens up to me, I tell my wife I love her, and they're like, she knows. She knows you love her. People's concern for animals, it knows no bounds. It really does. Like, I remember Ryan Sickler telling me that. So Honeydew, he's like, people can tell the most.
Starting point is 00:34:21 crazy fucked up story about something that their dad did or their mom got arrested or whatever but if somebody tells a story that involves an animal forget it we get so many letters and we don't do bad animal stories here ever either ever since day one dog is fine but if you see a dog on a roof you will go but like i'm going i have to have to yeah yeah yeah if you saw a human on a roof you'd be like oh whatever whatever he's looking for drugs in a chimney somebody get that guy in axe get the guy an act stat okay so the woman's been forcing us all the time because people are worried about the dog's unusual behavior, explaining how her golden tree
Starting point is 00:34:53 of her has a tendency to, quote, hang out on the roof of her house. She has assured them, he is safe and well taken care of. The sign reads, Huckleberry, that's the name, is living up to, is living up to his name
Starting point is 00:35:07 and learned how to jump onto our roof from the backyard. How is that living up to him? We never leave him in the backyard without someone being at home. He will not jump off unless you entitiation, him with food or a ball which means that's happened oh my god people don't do that also whatever your setup is in the backyard the roof is too low yeah changes is too low if the dog
Starting point is 00:35:32 built a raft and went down the Mississippi River he'd be living up to his name jumping on a roof is not huckleberry behavior I've read the book who did he jump on roofs roofs well I think it's just he he had like sort of a you know he was the kind of guy who could like climb up a tree real fast, you know, like he's just resourceful in nature. Yeah. Okay. He uses a rambunctious. A rambunctious adventurousome child.
Starting point is 00:36:00 On the roof of everybody's mind. This is the sign. Oh, she's like a homemade. Don't be alarmed, it says. And then with a picture of Huckleberry. Huckleberry? Yeah, he looks a little. I love how they naturally smile like that.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Tell you. He's having. He likes it. He likes it. He likes it. He likes it. He likes it. We appreciate your concern, but please do not knock on our door. We know he's up there. But please feel free to take pictures of him and share with the world. Tell my wife, I love her. She knows. Okay. Could you imagine enticing a dog to jump off our roof? I would tackle that person. I guess those people might think that the dog doesn't belong to, like, is it, doesn't live at that house. And so they're like trying to get the dog down in the same way you try to rescue a cat stuck in a tree. Yes. Cat on a rift. Cat on a tree, though.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Cat got up there fine too. You don't really need to get a cat down. That's you being like, I want you back. Feel free to take pictures, share it with the world. Before installing the sign, the woman would have how many people per week knocking on her door? Per week? Per week. 70.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I'm going to say 11. Okay. 42. Five people a week. That's not that much. Not enough to put a sign. But it is enough to annoy you. Because just think about how annoying it is when people come to your door.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah, that's true. Unannounced. Unannounced. So you don't even know it could be anyone from your life. And you're like, oh, shit. Yeah. We loudly say when someone knocks on our door, don't answer it. So they can hear it from the other side.
Starting point is 00:37:42 If it's not someone we're expecting. That is something weird about living in L.A. is that before L.A. I lived in New York where I lived in a high-rise building, no one's ever coming to your door. Now being in a house, it's like people will knock on your door to like sell you something or whatever. And you're like, what is this 1985? Get away from my door. Away from this door. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Go. You can't be here. Throw a treat to my dog. You have up to five people knocking on a door per week saying, up to. Do you realize there's a dog on your roof? she says this dropped to once or twice a week since the sign great it's funny that people are still doing some still miss the sign when they're walking
Starting point is 00:38:23 up to the house probably because they freak out I would put another sign next to where the doorbell is and say read the sign on the lawn yeah that's actually that's a great idea and it's a smaller version of before you know she should just walk back to the sign she should put a smaller version of the sign on the door either way like a little is as uh or put a big sign on the roof where these people are already looking right it even says it's okay that i'm up here and it just in big letter says he's fine leave him alone yeah he's fine he likes it he likes it he likes it she says this dropped after the dog's picture was shared on reddit the woman started answering users burning questions about her adventurous golden retriever
Starting point is 00:39:05 when asked whether she can hear him walking around the roof when indoors the owner said yes it's annoying especially with an infant who's trying to nap there's a whole scene going on in this house another screaming another reason another reason to prevent this from the backyard so I
Starting point is 00:39:25 have two French bulldogs and in our lawn we have these it's not even a big lawn but there's like we have a wall that's short and we have these large banana trees that are like there's a stump and the
Starting point is 00:39:40 the dog can jump over this little thing and then jump on the wall and jump out and it's done it like our little dog has done that one the boy has but like we so we put uh like another fenced off thing to so they can't jump on the stump to jump on the wall to leave and then i let my friend borrow that because he had to put his dog in a pen so i didn't have anything there and in the last couple days ziggie has jumped out and jumped over the thing so what do we do i found two other things and put it there so he couldn't do it. Block it. Don't let your dog jump on the roof. I imagine it's going like AC unit shed roof. There's some sort of setup. How did OJ do it? Allegedly.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Allegedly. For sure. Also, an infant in the house trying to nap. It is so... You get the infant down to sleep. You've done all the walking... You've done the impossible. The impossible.
Starting point is 00:40:36 It feels like you've just robbed a bank. You're fucking Luke Skywalker shot the bull. It's straight to the center of the desk. And then had to leave through like every laser beam, creaking. You got to get out of the door. You get out and then this fucking thing is on the roof. Are you serious?
Starting point is 00:40:54 Or your fucking doorbells ringing because people are calling up. Even worse. Dog barking. That's probably the loudest thing. Yes. And if they're freaking out, they may be pounding on your car. Yeah, they're like, you have to know about this dog. We have to save it.
Starting point is 00:41:09 We know you don't know. the worst is when someone starts waving at him and he bolts to the front of the house i'm surprised all my shingles are still intact and when asked whether he has ever pooped on the roof she joked not that you said that i've been wondering why my gutters have been clogged and there aren't any trees around them wink long although yes he's definitely gone to the bathroom yeah if he's up there for hours while one user who unexpectedly spotted huckleberry on the roof said he barks at joggers to get more attentions as if he needs it yeah he was letting everyone know right there's somebody there's people a lot here and I'm up here. And I shouldn't be. Huckleberry has his own very Instagram page called
Starting point is 00:41:44 Huck the Roof Dog, just for fun. How many followers do you think? Is it going to depress me? Huck. Is it going to make us, Matt? Probably not. Huck the Roof dog. 6,900. $6,900? $4,000. 4,000. $130.000. That's so low. Forty-two-thousand- What? No. Yeah. That is. I know you were farther away, but you feel more right. No, but also. Yeah. Oh, go ahead. No, I didn't really have anything to do that.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Well, I was just going to say, like, we, like, we fret over, like, creating great content. Oh, no. You got to let that all go. It's a dumb dog. Yeah, I'm working on just not being precious about it at all. His owners from Austin, Texas, so some things are still weird there, recently adopted another dog named Bluebell, who has already started following in Huckleberry's steps. So now there's another dog on the ramp. They're encouraging it.
Starting point is 00:42:36 They're teaching these dogs to do it. I am looking at Huck the roof. dog's account yeah they are full on influencers oh this point this oh my god this woman's like here you know she i feel like the sign's more like yeah you know follow us follow us like look at my dog and like and subscribe yeah like that's what the sign says i don't like these people and they're from austin what are they doing gross they're being weird all right guys that is story number two story number three involves if the officers got to name the suspects that's all we're talking about It's a nascent, we're nascent in this era.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Okay. Vanessa Bayeson's hot dog eating contest is my favorite. I love that. All right, we'll be right back from more Dump People Town right after this. Stick around, make a sound, hunger down is Dump People Town. Hey, gang, welcome back to the show before I jump into this final story.

That's my overnight radio type podcast that I do every Monday. where it's just me. That's not what I've become is. I listen to podcasts to, like, go to sleep. That's what I made it for.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It is so relaxing. I literally made it for it. Did your parents ever listen to talk radio to go to sleep? Or I just fall asleep in the car to talk radio, like on long trips. While you're driving? Yes. And then you just see where the road takes you. Where did I end up?
Starting point is 00:45:01 So everything's at Daniel Van Kirk. I just find it soothing to hear voices. It is really. Sometimes I accidentally. do it like if i'm listening to a podcast and then i'm about to go to sleep and i'm like i'm just going to keep listening and then i fall right to figure out in like a minute and then do you go back the next day and try and figure out where you fell off that's always fun too all right should we jump into this let's do it sent in my uh same name on threads at toby wall work hey toby walwork
Starting point is 00:45:29 how is his wall work it's great we've rented space and worked at a wall work yeah all right local officer apples at walworks um you too I love WeWork jokes. All right. Here's the headline. Local officer explains how Barry Larry Terry and his raccoon became a social media sensation. Barry Larry Terry. We used to talk about the nostalgia pod.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Talk about the nostalgia pod. We can maybe talk about this on the pod when we get on there. We're already booking ourselves on the pod. We will have you on. No, she doesn't want us to have us. She's got other important people to come before us. We'll just wait for the schedule and shake out. We had twins in St. Louis who were a little older than us, and they had the best names ever, like, if you were ever creating evil characters, the Ziegleman twin, Larry and Terry and Terry Ziegleman.
Starting point is 00:46:22 We had a Terry and Larry Twins in my high school. Larry and Terry Siegelman. They were the Burtons. We would always get their, like, sport coats when they grew out of the sport coats. Okay. You got it. Like, that would be a thing. So our mom, our dad, our mom would be like, you got to going over to the Ziegelmans to get their sports.
Starting point is 00:46:38 codes and we'd have to go and thank you like them that's so funny they're now they're actually cool dudes like one one is an animation he's an animation yeah one's an animator one's like a filmmaker they're a phenomenal dude remarkably sweet guys and but the bowing down and kissing the ring and thanking them for the sport codes what age did because it is certain i understand that hand me downs when you're a little kid work but like at a certain age probably up till we were like 12 okay And then it was sort of like they're different people. Although we do have to go get their swore coats in about a week. They still are passing them down to us.
Starting point is 00:47:17 That's beautiful. That would be so great. So this is a guy named Terry Larry Perry. I'm going to get into this. I didn't really read this, but we're going to figure this out. Moulton Alabama. Okay. A fake mug shot posted by the Moulton City Police Department has garnered a lot of social media attention.
Starting point is 00:47:35 So now the police is just like, can we get some likes on this? I mean, what are we doing? We're cops here. We definitely need more followers. I was very surprised. They're doing gags on engagement. It's all about engagement. Officer Russell Graham.
Starting point is 00:47:48 I'm like, is he the British comedian that talks about not vaccinating people? I'm very surprised. I think we're up to how many shares did he think approximately they were up to of this photo? He's very excited. Alabama cop bragging about his shares. About the number of shares that this layered. Wait, I'm sorry. I need to.
Starting point is 00:48:08 back up so they posted a fake mug shot and then they were so excited that it went viral for them okay okay so now he's bragging about it and he's like yeah trying to get more shares than murders that thing got shared like a hundred times the reason that they posted the we'll get into that we haven't even gotten into terry later to why they posted this my guess is that they were bored but you never know well because i'm just trying to see what is the thing that's kind of interesting about it and is it just that their names rhyme and that they sometimes i think no it's one person named Larry. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Larry Terry Berry is what they're saying. And the raccoon. And his pet raccoon. Okay. Sounds like a Peter Paul and Mary song. Right. I'm going to go that he bragged about having a hundred share. We had like, we got shared a hundred times.
Starting point is 00:48:53 A hundred times. We got 105 murders in this county. And we got 200 chairs. 200 chairs. How many shares? I need more information about what's going on here. I'm going to tell you right now. Sorry to.
Starting point is 00:49:04 I think I like. I think we're up to six thousand shares. Whoa. That's a lot of shares. Also, you think there's like, it clearly tells you exactly. Check the counterbrided about it. On Tuesday, he posted a photo along with other mugshots on the police department's Facebook page.
Starting point is 00:49:20 It just looked humorous to me. There were several that I went through and I said, there's our guy. So they're just going through mugshots. Yeah. Posting it on the Facebook page, giving them a fake name and saying they committed a crime. Wait, this never even happened. Graham wrote in the photos caption. that Barry Larry Terry was arrested on charges of unlawful possession of a wild raccoon and no headlamp on a bicycle.
Starting point is 00:49:47 By the way, that feels like you could, well, unlawful possession of a raccoon. Like, where are you keeping it? And what are you doing to it? In your home. Yeah. I can't tell you where it came from. I was just like, that looks like Barry, Larry Terry. What is, is he trying to do the joke from the old Newhart show?
Starting point is 00:50:06 Maybe. Larry Graham says that the other mugshots he posted were real But this one was a joke But that's not entirely That's the one thing you want from your police department Do they mean it or not? Right You should be like put on leave
Starting point is 00:50:22 Right You should have to push his thing across Like his badge and gun across the desk And his Facebook account You can't just take a random headshot And be like this is a made up name and crime for this person Because that is a real person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:38 So now that person's going to have that on there. So this is his. But also, so what I'm saying, do you want your, do you want to be in a situation with your local police department where you're like, are they being serious? Are they? Yeah. Should we take them seriously? This is like when Anderson Cooper gets, like, super drunk on, like, New Year's with Andy Coward. I'm like, you're eating into.
Starting point is 00:50:57 How are I now going to watch? Or like in comedy when you're having a heartfelt conversation and you have to say, like, I'm not doing a bit right now. Like, like, now the cops have to be like, look, we mean it. You are under arrest. This is we're not doing a bit right now. The amount of times when somebody goes, you look like hell, and you're like, okay, I'm not doing a bit. This is what just happened to me.
Starting point is 00:51:12 You have to prep, because we have, we all have, we are these people, too. The less I believe you. Graham says, uh, so, yeah, what was not entirely satire about the post, there's actually a law possession of wild animals. I don't think it specifically says wild raccoon, but I just added it in there. And here we are. Here we are says that it's everybody else. his fault right here it suddenly we got to this place he said his post was intended uh to humanize the
Starting point is 00:51:41 badge he says he's seen other law enforcement facebook pages do similar posts they do it does that work for him when he pulled somebody over everybody else was speeding yeah across the world of law enforcement a law enforcement officers are seen in a bad light they're seen as robots so to speak i don't think really robot is not the word not what i'm supposed to be serious we're we're trying to project to project a little humor or inject and hopefully build a little rapport with the citizens that come across the page. I still don't completely
Starting point is 00:52:12 understand what this person did and also the reasoning of being like we want them to know that like our police department has a good sense of humor. Is that what people are saying? I love our police department. They really fight crime but are they funny? And the justification that other police officers have done it. Do people think we're funny? Let's post a goofy
Starting point is 00:52:32 picture and call them a weird name and make a thing up about a raccoon because people are respecting us and we're making we're making more shares yeah we're making tons of arrests and people are respecting us but i don't think people think we're yeah guys if we get 200 more followers we can collab right the photo photo has been taken off facebook page with the viral ideas and going away so easily a facebook user created a page called free berry larry that is bringing voice to do you have the picture that you can show us right yes I will find it so again I just want to clarify what this person did they just took a random mugshot yeah from the police's yeah their archive or social media they gave it a funny name
Starting point is 00:53:15 and then they made up the crimes that this person yeah correct just said he had an unlawful raccoon right are you if you are not looking up this photo I'm doing it right no it'd be hilarious if you're like eight o'clock but what three do we know what this person really did is that they had I don't think there ever was a person no but what What was the thing about not having a light on their bike? That was another charge they made up. They made it up. So I literally think this police officer wanted to put out four public notices of people
Starting point is 00:53:43 who had committed crimes recently. So there was some real ones. And then they decided, what if I do a fifth one? A fake. That is a fake crime, a fake person, and a photo I find on the internet. And that one's just for us. I guess making the person's name funny and not making the crime funny is sort of where this person loses the crime so that is the guys which by the way picture that is a funny picture
Starting point is 00:54:08 that is an association from a story that we probably did about 10 years ago that is a real person from a different crime from a different yeah yes that we did that story on or it was used it a fake thing but that story that picture has come up in how many likes came from the picture i think by the way yeah giving this person the name barry larry terry it's like you're bad at comedy sir that's The person's face, I don't know if people, I'm sure if people can't see this because they're not watching. It's on YouTube too. It's a crazy face. Like that alone is like, is like, just do a caption that's like, well, you know, something.
Starting point is 00:54:48 I don't know. He looks like his ears are only attached at the bottom. To give him a funny name and make up these crimes, it's like a hat on a hat in a bad way. It's like, just let this photo speak for itself. This is what happens when you let Beaker get into the map. You know when you text somebody, like, let's say somebody text you and they're like, sorry, I'm going to be late, right? And as a joke, you write back, cool, just delete my number. And then you think to yourself, they might actually think I'm mad.
Starting point is 00:55:15 So I have to go so far, I have to go too far to be like, well, every, you know, I had a meeting this morning about how you're always late and you're actually probably going to get fired for that. You have to go so far. There's nothing about this post that winks. But if you're a funny person, Barry Larry Terry is the wink, they think. First of all, that if he's funny, Terry should have been spelled with an A as well. Like, even that, like, Barry, Larry Terry cloth. Yes. Giving that person a funny name is so stupid.
Starting point is 00:55:43 The more I think about it, the more mad I get. Because that person has an insane look on their face. They look totally insane. And then to be like, here's a goofy name. It's like, get a fucking life, you idiot. I'm sorry. It also, it also cannot have it be a. humorous crime like was arrested for eating too much cotton candy right still not a good joke but
Starting point is 00:56:06 you'd be like okay this obviously isn't real yeah putting raccoons in his pants right something that you know you could just say like I you know this like don't even want to tell you what this guy was arrested for it because he's a funny face like leave it to let let the levels level out don't don't put your dumb goofy name it's like actually actually Actually, maybe before when I lived in this town, I thought, the police probably have a pretty good sense of humor. I don't know. And now when I see this, I go, oh, they're bad at comedy. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Well, so that's the problem with the Facebook page. But they're being encouraged because they're like, we got 6,000 shares. We got 6,000 shares. We are. Stop sharing. Why do you care about our comedy? It also has nothing to do with what you wrote. It has everything to do with the picture, which you didn't create.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Right. It's the one thing you didn't do. In spite of your dumb name. And by the way, singling out someone from your actual time. town who has a mugshot, you're actually, you're the criminal. Right. You're now making people, I don't know if this guy's from the town. Like, if you do like David Longneck, I'd be like, all right, I'm getting that.
Starting point is 00:57:12 That's something that's some spice of a joke. Yeah, it's like, because people would go, oh my God, I can't believe this guy really has that name. He has a long neck. But to do any other kind of joke, you know, and also you can't, just because your cop doesn't mean you can just pick any mugshot and. David Longneck was arrested for trying to impersonate a Muppet. There he go.
Starting point is 00:57:35 But also, but also make, don't use a real person's photo. I don't. I know. Do not. By the way, we have AI now. We have AI. We have AI, make an AI photo. Make a joke, but also, focus on your job. I'm going, oh, I have a crime in my town.
Starting point is 00:57:51 I don't want to bug the cop and he's working on his type 5. 9-1-1 call it in. I got to get it put up with it. Is this funnier or is this funnier? Barry Larry's scary? Is that funnier than Barry Larry too? Also, the more I think about it, Barry Larry Terry isn't,
Starting point is 00:58:06 even if the photo wasn't funny, even if you were just trying to like, oh, give it, that's not a funny name. Agreed. It's just a name that rhymes. Although I will say this. One time, Rani, when we were in New York, we got into a cap at the beginning of a night,
Starting point is 00:58:19 the guy's name was Mohammed Larry. And we asked him, we're like, this is your first name of Larry? Is your first name? We asked him. And he was like, No, it's Mohammed Larry. And we ask what again, we're like, there is no human way.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Your first name is Muhammad and your last name is Larry. So we go out to dinner. Then Randy and I have like three sets of comedy. Then we meet our friends out. We go all around New York. It's such a great late 90s, New York night. We're partying. We go to bars, different bars.
Starting point is 00:58:45 We hail a cap at the end of the night. We get in the cab. It's Mohamed Larry. That's insane. We're like, this is the craziest. That's the science fall episode. And we got back in the camera. We're like, is your night.
