Gareth Reynolds
All right, everybody. Welcome to the Past Times podcast. Each week we go through an old newspaper from a random date in history picked out by Dave Anthony. I'm Gareth Reynolds, and. And I've never seen it before. And neither is our guest this week, the great Steve Fury. Hi, Steve.
Steve Fury
What's up? Super excited to be here, dude.
Gareth Reynolds
Thank you for being here.
Dave Anthony
Steve is wearing a Sacramento Kings hat. Are you from Sacramento?
Steve Fury
Yes.
Dave Anthony
All right.
Gareth Reynolds
He's a homer.
Steve Fury
Yeah. That's good.
Dave Anthony
When I was in, like, the year 2000 or something, when I was working at Stable center, and I learned through the back. The back side of things that the NBA was totally fixed. I was working at the Sacramento Punchline, and it was the week. At the end of the month, it's the. It was the week.
Gareth Reynolds
We're not promoting stuff on this. Sorry, go ahead.
Dave Anthony
The Kings were, like, kicking ass in the playoffs, and they were supposed to win. They were up, like, 3 to 1 or something in the playoff series. And then it. And then it came down to Steve's.
Gareth Reynolds
Like, I. I remember.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, it came down to the last game. And since I knew. Since I was, like, 100% convinced it was fixed, I went to a big sports bar just because I knew the Kings were going to lose. And I just sat there and ate and watched it transpire. And it was like. It was like Watching, like a Greek tragedy. Like, it was the most fascinating experience to watch all those people knowing. And I was just knowing. I was like, the game's just completely fixed.
Steve Fury
Like, it seemed like. Like, you know, the Highlander, when he cuts people's heads off and he sucks all their soul. You did that like a Buffalo Wild Wings. All these people. Yeah, they just put your head back. As spirits got sucked into.
Gareth Reynolds
By the way, that's a great Buffalo Wild Wings commercial. They should use that. Really good. Well, so, Steve, you are truly hysterical.
Steve Fury
Thank you. Likewise.
Gareth Reynolds
We've done a number of shows together. You are truly one of the best. So we were saying, we don't know you're. You're. I mean, people can see you in a number of places, but the best thing to do is follow you on Instagram. Aren't you Scuba Steve Fury?
Steve Fury
Scuba. Like, you're Diving Steve? F U R U Y. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Do you. Do you scoop.
Steve Fury
Do you know it's. Scuba is. It's a really niche reference from the movie Big Daddy. His son was obsessed with this thing called Scuba Steve.
Gareth Reynolds
I remember Scuba Steve.
Steve Fury
Yes, it was Scuba Steve. So then that was kind of a nickname of mine with some people I was hanging out with. And then it just kind of. I thought it was funny.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Okay. There you go. Don't dance look off your face, Dave. No, but leave him alone, Dave. Beck off.
Dave Anthony
No, you have a.
Gareth Reynolds
Stop it. Your mother's a big fan of our show. So you watch your.

Gareth Reynolds
Okay, so Steve.
Steve Fury

Gareth Reynolds
Hey, by the way, you're talking to Dave Underscore. Anthony and Reynolds. Gareth. So let's all calm down.
Dave Anthony
No, I'm Dave Anthony on the Twitter and the blue. I couldn't get my Real on Instagram. I couldn't get my actual name.
Gareth Reynolds
That's why I said Instagram, but I.
Dave Anthony
Jumped in late to the game.
Steve Fury
There's a Steve Fury who's incredibly successful guitar teacher. He has, like, YouTube videos.
Gareth Reynolds
That's who I thought we booked.
Steve Fury
No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm the yodel. I brought my accordion. I'm a yodel for you guys.
Dave Anthony
Can you book a let. Can you. Can you do lessons on YouTube with him?
Steve Fury
Yeah. I mean, this was like, when I first started, he had tens of thousands of followers.
Gareth Reynolds
Can you reach out to him and see if he wants to do the show? I mean, yeah, we just real. Yeah. Really want to get him.
Dave Anthony
We thought this is why. Yeah, I Was like, don't. That can't be the scuba guy. Can't be the guy we're looking for. And it turns out it's not.
Steve Fury
You can't have more than one passion. You can't scuba and teach guitar fan to a podcast.
Gareth Reynolds
Just ask Dave.
Dave Anthony
What the just happened?
Gareth Reynolds
So, Steve, we're going through a newspaper. We like to guess what year it is. You get to go first. The reasons why you go first. I'm not even going to get into it. But it's problems with Dave. So we've done 2000. That's our latest. We've done 1600. Ish. That's our earliest. You're definitely not going to be going in the 1600s. It'd be my guess, but it's up to you.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
And there's no prize.
Steve Fury
I want to get, like, you know, like 24 A.D. it's just on papyrus.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my God.
Steve Fury
They've asked to read, like.
Dave Anthony
Raw.
Gareth Reynolds
Realizing sand. Sand, not water. Oh, me.
Steve Fury
I'm gonna guess 1975.
Dave Anthony
Wow.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow.
Dave Anthony
Check you out. Check you out.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm pushing back. I'm going 1866.
Dave Anthony
What a dumb guess. Steve is correct. It's 1912, which is, I believe, what Steve guessed. It's not February 6, 1912.
Steve Fury
I think I fail on Jeopardy. Isn't Jeopardy. Or whatever, though. Whatever. Yeah, I won.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. It's Jeopardy. Rules. That's right. He's right.
Gareth Reynolds
By the way, I got Final Jeopardy. Last night, and my mother barely gave me any credit. Did you?
Dave Anthony
Hey, buddy.
Gareth Reynolds
It was Marie Curie. Mom. I got Final Jeopardy last night. Correct. She's talking.
Dave Anthony
What's going on right now?
Gareth Reynolds
It was hard. I got final jeopardies. Marie Curie. Go ahead.
Dave Anthony
People get Final Jeopardy. All the time. Is that the first time you've gotten final?
Gareth Reynolds
Not in this house.
Steve Fury
Brings up a little plaque. His mom gives it to him that they trade it off like a championship belt.
Gareth Reynolds
So congratulations. Spelled with a K.
Dave Anthony
So we're doing Steve's hometown, Fairbanks, Alaska. The weekly Alaska Citizen, which is nice. It'll make you feel at home. Yeah. First page here returns in three days to find wife, bride of another.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, that's very Alaska. Goes out fishing.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Comes back, wife with a new.
Dave Anthony
You can't leave your lady alone for a second up there because she'll get snatched up by another Alaskan.
Gareth Reynolds
And by the way, we're a progressive show.
Steve Fury
I would say it's not news is my thing.
Dave Anthony
It's news.
Steve Fury
I think that's like.
Gareth Reynolds
If you're gonna start flagging that stuff. This show is gonna get real complicated most of this. But what happens a lot of times it's. It's like this and then you go through six stories and then it's like 15 killed and you're like, yeah, why?
Steve Fury
Yeah, well, like, how did the writer find this? I bet the writer wrote that story about himself.
Dave Anthony
Yes, well, it's from another paper. It's from Savannah, Georgia. So he got it off the wire.
Gareth Reynolds
This even makes it weirder. Yeah, it makes it weird to be like, oh, huge. Can't pass this up.
Dave Anthony
After an absence of three days, George Ari, a prosperous Greek, returned last night to find his wife the bride of another man.
Gareth Reynolds
Now that's not legal then. Correct.
Dave Anthony
Why not?
Gareth Reynolds
I don't think.
Dave Anthony
You don't know how Greek law works.
Steve Fury
Yeah. Do you think they put Greek in there so you'd feel worse for him or not his worst form.
Dave Anthony
I think that back then they needed to assigned the country or the ethnicity of every person in the paper so people would know how to feel.
Gareth Reynolds
By the way, it's still happening.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't know. I don't know where the Greeks landed on that spectrum in 1912.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Probably not considered white, I would imagine.
Steve Fury
I'm gonna guess it. Or you wouldn't have put Greek. You would have just said, why?
Dave Anthony
Because Italians weren't at that point, so Greeks. Yeah. And Irish, like, they weren't. Okay. So Ari received word through a half opened door to go away. Which he did.
Gareth Reynolds
That's the crazy part.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. All right, honey.
Gareth Reynolds
It was like a guy, get out of here.
Dave Anthony
You don't live here anymore.
Gareth Reynolds
Leave. I'm insider. Go.
Steve Fury
Take your tzatziki and get the fuck out.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, my toga's caught in the sliding door.
Dave Anthony
It's so hard to keep fucking. Anne, answer the door and talk to someone.
Gareth Reynolds
Very unrelatable comment.
Steve Fury
Yeah, I don't know if I've heard.
Gareth Reynolds
I've been able to do both, which he did.
Dave Anthony
But he only went as far as the police station where he asked aid in regaining his property.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, I'm fully on the bright side now. That was so easy to swing me in the direction of her to say yes and then go to the police station and report a property missing. That's. Well, it. Is it?
Dave Anthony
No, he. He just wants to get back into his property.
Gareth Reynolds
My chatty hole. Oh, sorry.
Dave Anthony
He wants to get. Not his wife.
Gareth Reynolds
Sorry, I misunderstood. Oh my God, it's 1912. That's not crazy.
Steve Fury
Is he complaining that his wife was cheating on him or that he can't get his stuff.
Gareth Reynolds
He's complaining into his house.
Dave Anthony
He can't get into his house because his wife is cheating on him.
Steve Fury
Wow.
Gareth Reynolds
I can't get into my wife. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
The other man was a partner in one of Aries stores. Ms. Arie wishing a half interest in the other of her own. Right. Both places have now been closed by the police pending settlement. Patrice and Ms. Ari were married according to the Greek Orthodox church laws. So what? She got his name.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay.
Dave Anthony
So the other guy. So she did marry the other guy.
Gareth Reynolds
I think she's got a Greek husband and an Alaska husband.
Dave Anthony
I think you're right.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Which I've. Can.
Dave Anthony
You do. I think you can do that.
Steve Fury
Yeah. I think that's different. Yeah, you can.
Gareth Reynolds
That's legal. You could do that.
Steve Fury
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
I mean, I've. I've. I've got a Greek wife.
Steve Fury
I was an Alaska kid.
Dave Anthony
You should be able to marry people in every church, right?
Gareth Reynolds
Every culture.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Steve Fury
Every race.
Gareth Reynolds
Every race. Yeah.
Steve Fury
Wait, wait, wait a second.
Dave Anthony
Hold on.
Gareth Reynolds
Getting note here. Squarespace dropped from the atlas. Dave, they're out. Thanks, Steve.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. Well, that was expected. We knew this was gonna happen with this guy.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow. Okay.
Dave Anthony
Boston professor draws a picture of ideal woman. This isn't gonna go well because it's 1912, so this is gonna be really bad.
Gareth Reynolds
I. I can't wait to. Steve, just sips. I can't wait. I'm gonna let you cook to find out what it is. Boston. I'm thinking big.
Dave Anthony
How far off do you think this guy's description will be from Ben Shapiro's today?
Gareth Reynolds
I think off, because I think. I feel like Boston is more like, doge gotta have a big ass, big tits. Whereas Ben Shapiro is just like, she needs to have a skill, but not, like, a skill that directly impacts, like, the way that I am doing business right now. The whole thing is that she needs to be able to demure at the drop of a hat.
Dave Anthony
Ben Shapiro's wife is totally banging other dudes.
Gareth Reynolds
Have you seen.
Dave Anthony
No way.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Have you seen. Well, she's got Greeks. She's got. Have you seen the. Have you seen Ben Shapiro take his bicep seriously? I feel like I've talked about this. Oh, no.
Dave Anthony
What are you talking about?
Gareth Reynolds
But Ben Shapiro's got pictures where he's like, look at the guns.
Steve Fury
Is he kind of jacked? It's not.
Gareth Reynolds
It's not jacked. It's not like Crowder like, had, like. Like, a chest plate put under his skin.
Steve Fury
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
So it's not like that. But, like, Ben Shapiro is clearly, like, I've been curling 13s 45 times a day for five years.
Steve Fury
I also want to. Yeah. Like, I feel like the way he describes or drew a woman back then would not be offensive now. Like, there's like, skateboarding T shirts that are probably more.
Gareth Reynolds
Mud flaps.
Steve Fury
Yeah. Like, the old hookups. Ones would blow people's minds way more.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Mud. Mud flaps. And, like, mud flaps now are just like, hit her doggy. You're like, should he be working with FedEx mud flaps?
Dave Anthony
I mean, he works out. Yeah. There's all these bicep pictures of him.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. He's like. Yeah, he posts a lot of bicep pictures. Gotta deal with the liberals.
Dave Anthony
Oh, my God. Okay.
Steve Fury
What if I ruined someone's day?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
It's just so dumb.
Gareth Reynolds
The resistance is real. If I was there on January 6th, he's like Mark Wahlberg of January 6th. If I was there on January 6th, we wouldn't. We would not even have that form of government any longer.
Dave Anthony
President Lemuel Merlin of the Boston University described his ideal of beautiful woman. Quote, there are plenty. What?
Steve Fury
This is a professor. He did this academy.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. No, this is. This is like.
Gareth Reynolds
It's even more. Not. Okay.
Steve Fury
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
This is how. This is how you know it's true.
Steve Fury
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Because he's a professor. There are plenty of young women in Boston University who come up to my ideal of what constitutes the real type of beauty in womanhood.
Gareth Reynolds
So fucking crazy.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. But there's a lot of hot young ones here.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm looking to pork a lot of the women walking the campus. Now, here's the drawing.
Steve Fury
Instead of rate my professor, he's rate my students, who's like, Becky and sixth period great tits.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. You're just in his class. Like, this is not philosophy. He's like. And also, some of the girls have butts where you could eat a meal of it. And I like that. Now, here's a list of their names.
Dave Anthony
Also on your report cards will be a grade of your body, face, and then broken down.
Gareth Reynolds
I got a eight. Yeah. I'd bang you. You understand? Yeah.
Steve Fury
He gets one to ten. Is so funny.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
I cannot conceive of any woman being considered beautiful who does not possess, first of all, beauty of character. Or in a word, womanliness.
Gareth Reynolds
Saves himself a little. It's not good. It's not good.
Steve Fury
You can tell the room was turning on him. People like character. I meant a beautif. Beautiful character.
Gareth Reynolds
I like her to be dependent on me. I want to break her soul. Do you understand?
Dave Anthony
Higher education is conducive to beauty? With higher education goes physical culture along scientific lines, all contributing to beauty. Scientific lines is a little disturbing.
Gareth Reynolds
That's a Robin Thicke song, isn't it?
Dave Anthony
It's eugenics. Yes, yes.
Gareth Reynolds
It's very. It's all weird. I'm trying to think if I would just rather him go physical. And I guess that's probably worse, but still, it's not.
Dave Anthony
Well, this, right. This right now is the guy who is like, no, I'm a feminist. Women just to get laid. That's what this guy is right now.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, yeah, right.
Steve Fury
Look, I've never seen someone put the correlation between the more education and more attractive you are before.
Gareth Reynolds
This might be a first. Yeah. I mean, yes, he's a sapiosexual. I think that's what they're called.
Steve Fury
The first sapiosexual.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. He's the first SAP. Yet people are like, dude. And in Boston, he was like, the. Are you talking about dude? That's crazy. That's disgusting.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Quite frankly, I'm disgusted.
Dave Anthony
A student of character soon learns to find beauty and refinement behind what might be regarded at first by other people as an attractive face.
Gareth Reynolds
There we go.
Dave Anthony
So he's. He's saying that there's some. There's something also beautiful behind the face that. That's the crazy thing that he's saying here, Right?
Gareth Reynolds
So he wants a hot head and something in it.
Dave Anthony
There's also the look. They also have a personality and brains and all that. So behind the. The thing you want to really grab a hold of and just bang. There's also, like, a part of them that you can, like, talk to and stuff.
Gareth Reynolds
She's got to have one of those faces you want to cream on and then also can read. Those are must, dude. He's like 68 with, like, elbow patches. That's a must. That's a must, dude. You gotta have that.
Steve Fury
He's got a pipe.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. He's lost everyone in the room. You gotta be able to do that. That's gotta be big. That's big for me.
Steve Fury
Behind the face.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, yeah.
Steve Fury
Behind the face. It's wonderful.
Gareth Reynolds
Behind the face. You can have a conversation with your mother. Not embarrass herself, but also, come on, she's got a big eyes, ears. Can't be too big.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. Let's talk wrecks with the rack. You got to be able to take a big load on the tits and then start talking about play. D'oh.
Steve Fury
And then he hits the pipe. So dignified.
Gareth Reynolds
He flips the board over, and it's just pictures of boobs. Whoa. Never mind.
Dave Anthony
Let's.
Gareth Reynolds
We'll go on this side. We'll stick to this side. Joe, everybody. Hey, let's be honest. If you saw that chill.
Steve Fury
He has a. He has a. He has a. A mathematical equation to get someone's attractiveness. You know, tits over ass, plus not speaking.
Gareth Reynolds
That's a quotient. That's a quotient, dude. Pythagoras.
Steve Fury
P. Never talks about tits.
Gareth Reynolds
Are you. Dude, what are you doing? Dude, get your head together. He's had a wet lunch.
Dave Anthony
Oh, wet lunch. I miss my dad.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, we all do.
Dave Anthony
Stole socks from preacher who was baptizing convert.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow. Pro.
Dave Anthony
I don't know. This is out of Youngstown, Ohio. I think you can. Why not? You can do it.
Gareth Reynolds
I like the guy getting baptized. He's like, I'm gonna get soaking. No, it's just a little bucket.
Dave Anthony
When the divorce case of Alorna Williams against David Williams came up for trial, she convulsed the court when she testified that her husband, who was a janitor at the First Baptist Church, returned home one night excited. Look here. She testified, he said as he raised his trouser leg, this is one of the Reverend C.H. pendleton silk stocks, which I stole while he was baptizing a convert. Yeah, I got holy socks, baby.
Steve Fury
We all think our lives are going pretty bad, but the guy who stoked off of stealing reverend socks and even.
Gareth Reynolds
Like, doesn't go, like, here they are. He's like, let me shake it out. Like an accidental turd. Check that out.
Steve Fury
He wore him out of the store.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Like, it's really not that big of a caper.
Steve Fury
Take him home, wash him.
Gareth Reynolds
He was like, yeah, don't worry.
Steve Fury
Put his socks there.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, he must have. He must have left his socks at the scene.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, he. Temple of Doomed him or Raiders of the Lost Arctic. He was like.
Dave Anthony
Temple of Doomed him. Come on, man.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, don't even.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, let's get it right. The charge she made against her husband is failure to provide, not socks, baby. Holy sucks.
Gareth Reynolds
He is providing.
Steve Fury
Dude, she wrote. She ratted on him.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, it's not.
Steve Fury
Yo.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, well, she's getting divorced, so it's rat, rat, rat time. Oh, let it go.
Gareth Reynolds
Strange. So far, not. No, there's not been a story.
Steve Fury
This is just the Citizen app on your phone that people think is the Associated Press or whatever. The thing is, it really.
Gareth Reynolds
And even on Citizen app, I'd be like, there's not much happening today.
Steve Fury
If he doesn't have a machete. Is it really a story on.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, if it's not like bears eating garbage.
Steve Fury
That'S the next story for sure. In Alaska.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Okay, there's two. Okay there. This is two separate stories. So the first one. So this woman's name. Her first name is Oi.
Gareth Reynolds
Oi.
Dave Anthony
Oi.
Gareth Reynolds
OI.
Dave Anthony
Oi. Said under arrest. This is from Billings, Montana, on January 31st. Oi said the Chinese woman is held here on suspicion of being the person who killed Celled Bong, the Alaska canary cannery boss, and afterward shipped his remains to Portland.
Gareth Reynolds
Whoa.
Dave Anthony
So that's how you get rid of it.
Gareth Reynolds
I think maybe scan him up.
Dave Anthony
Well, he, he. How else would you ship the bot body, man?
Gareth Reynolds
I'm hoping she's canning him or just.
Dave Anthony
Or just put it in a box.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, I would think it's more that. Yeah, I mean, it's a lot of hands.
Dave Anthony
But canning. Canning him would be amazing.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, you'd just be like, Jesus Christ.
Dave Anthony
You could. You could. You could get someone into like 800 cans. No, you're talking little cans. But you get a gallon can. You could. You could put a lot of guy in there.
Steve Fury
I love that.
Gareth Reynolds
Tuna's garbage.
Steve Fury
She's like, searching for Kerr jars. She's like, do you have one that's like, I don't know, 400 gallons maybe? Yeah, jar. Like a human jar.
Gareth Reynolds
What do you have a big. What do you guys have for like something you think is just not cool? Like, what is. You have a.
Dave Anthony
Do you wanna. You wanna.
Gareth Reynolds
Not cool jars.
Dave Anthony
We got a. We got a dry. You can put a whole. Yeah, I was gonna say. I mean, it's a man size charge. You know, we have them for like bachelor parties and stuff. When you pop out of the can or jar or whatever.
Gareth Reynolds
Happy birthday, Doug. Oh my God. You're gon a jar.
Steve Fury
She's like, I want to. I want to, you know, jar some carrots. Like, how much? She's like 61. About 210.
Gareth Reynolds
Trying to think how many carrots is in like a 61, man, you know what I mean? Do you guys. Are you guys doing man measurements? Are you metric? What are you.
Dave Anthony
It's like a blended fella or like a man, but you blend them or. What are you doing with. Is he. Is it a soupy gentleman sort of situation? Boned. Okay.
Gareth Reynolds
Like, imagine if carrots had bones.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, that's gonna be a little more. I mean, if you can blend up whatever we're shipping, that might. We might save you some Money there.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm. Oy.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, it's several times. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we got that. Okay. And then next to it, like, a little ways over on the front page, Oisen confesses.
Steve Fury
Oh, and.
Dave Anthony
And this is from Portland. Three days later or two days later.
Gareth Reynolds
So Portland was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys got a man jar?
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
That's not okay.
Dave Anthony
Oi said the Chinese girl arrested in connection with the Seattle trunk mystery confessed to the murder of Bong and pleaded that her jewels be returned to her. She begged that the lawyers be not allowed to hold them.
Gareth Reynolds
This is absolutely. There's a lot of crazy. What's crazy also, is for them to be like, set up. Punch next to each other.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, yeah. Like, it's not even right next to each other. A little ways away from each other. Maybe they do it. Maybe they did these comms by date because the stuff. The news has to get to Alaska, so it's probably taking a little while.
Gareth Reynolds
Right. But still, you think someone would be like, we don't need that. Either way, crazy. Ask to be like, just get the jewels back. It's like, oi, you are not in a position of power right now. Get the goddamn jewels.
Dave Anthony
I need. I need the jewels. I gotta get the jewels.
Gareth Reynolds
You jarred a guy.
Steve Fury
You know how, like, we have older names like Gerald and Elda. And you know how when people, like, want it, like, if they say it race the name about Chinese person, they would say Bong and Ping. But I've never met a guy like that. Do you think that's what their names were? Maybe they had. That's their version of, like, Elmer back then. Like, around.
Gareth Reynolds
Could be. And then there was one guy. One guy just smoked so much weed. They're like, buddy, we're naming this thing after. It's crazy.
Dave Anthony
Like, I'm just. No, no. I wanted the human sized J named after me.
Gareth Reynolds
What do you. We. I smoked him. From what?
Dave Anthony
Okay.
Gareth Reynolds
She got caught.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
And confessed.
Dave Anthony
She did.
Gareth Reynolds
I guess it wasn't a great plan.
Dave Anthony
No. It doesn't seem like it's. It's. You know, why. Why ship a guy just. You know, there's other ways to do it. Especially if you're killing him in Montana. Just drag him out for the bears.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Steve Fury
Yeah. It's definitely a move you do after you smoke a lot of bong.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Steve Fury
You hit the ball. Like, I'll mail them.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. And then the anxiety. Yeah. Paralyzing anxiety. You feel me? Like, probably shouldn't have mailed that guy. That's crazy.
Dave Anthony
But then you sleep you sleep good after that?
Steve Fury
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't think I would be like.
Dave Anthony
Oh, I should take.
Gareth Reynolds
I had a dream once that I cut off Christopher Walken's head and threw it in a river.
Dave Anthony
And, I mean, that's just called the Highlander dream. That's fine.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, it's a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial now. But the stress I was dealing with in the dream. You know those dreams where you wake up and you're like. Like, about to roll over? Like, yeah, I can't believe I fucking killed Chris Walken. And then you're like, wait. Oh, wait. Oh, thank God. Yeah, thank. I could live my life again. I could live a regular life. Because in the whole dream, I was like. Like, his head washed up on shore. And they were like, who did this?
Dave Anthony
I was like, I've had those dreams. When I was in college, Danny Manning was going to be the number one draft pick in the NBA. And I dreamt that the warriors drafted him. And I came out in, like, the next day to my roommates, and I was just like, you guys, it's so fucking amazing. We got Manning. And they're like, what? And I'm like, we got Danny Manning. And I was fully convinced that we had drafted Danny Manning. And it was all a dream.
Gareth Reynolds
That's fucking great.
Dave Anthony
Isn't that amazing? Like, I was just 100% on board that we had. We had drafted. I had. I must have the most detailed dream about. That's so weird, a draft.
Gareth Reynolds
They're like, dude, what.
Dave Anthony
Puts pool ball in his mouth loses five teeth on bet. And now just guess. What? Just guess.
Gareth Reynolds
This is paper.
Dave Anthony
What city this is from?
Gareth Reynolds
This.
Dave Anthony
This. No, come on, think about it. Where would someone put a pool ball in their mouth for a bet?
Steve Fury
I feel like this is just how, like, an old dentist would work. You would, like, put cocaine on your.
Gareth Reynolds
Gums and say, all right, now think about the cue ball, and then all the bad ones will fall out. You're the best.
Dave Anthony
Think about Alex Burns. Philadelphia.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, it's Burns.
Dave Anthony
Of course it would be Philadelphia. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay.
Dave Anthony
Robert Wilson made a bet with several companies today that he had the largest mouth of any person in the crowd. And to prove his assertion, three, thrust a poo ball between his jaws.
Gareth Reynolds
It's actually funny because Burns, the same guy we're talking about. I remember one time, he's like, I can fit my fist in my mouth. And I was like, what? He was like, I can. I was like, do it. And he was like, oh. He was like, all put out. And I was like. And then he did.
Dave Anthony
I was like, maybe it's a Philly thing.
Gareth Reynolds
This might he. Is this one handwritten? He cited Alex Bur or it's.
Steve Fury
His whole family has this thing where they think they can fit things in their mouth. There's a lineage of the birds.
Gareth Reynolds
We have jaw dysmorphia.
Dave Anthony
Alexander, I swear to God, I can do a bowling ball.
Gareth Reynolds
I'll put a basketball in my mouth. Jesus Christ. He's dead.
Dave Anthony
He won the wager but lost several teeth for the ivory.
Gareth Reynolds
I. E. Lost the wager?
Dave Anthony
Well, no, he won it because they. The ball fit in.
Steve Fury
I told you guys I would win this ring easy.
Gareth Reynolds
Where's the after party? Where we going? To the streets right now. I got a little bit money burning all in my pocket. Where we going? Out. Party. Yes, I am Burns. How did you know?
Steve Fury
I am. How did you know?
Gareth Reynolds
That's right, ladies. The line has stuck my zig force to the right like blood. Concealed blood all around his mouth.
Dave Anthony
He won the wager but lost several teeth for the ivory ball. Fitted the mouth so well that it took two hours work on the part of the physicians at the children's hospital to remove it.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my God.
Dave Anthony
This was accomplished only when the pain from his distended jaws became so great that it was determined to sacrifice five front teeth. Oh, my God.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't know.
Steve Fury
Oh, my God.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't know if details have ever made anything so much more traumatic.
Dave Anthony
This is so Philadelphia.
Gareth Reynolds
It was like, funny. I like figured he, like, it hurt. Go like that. The fact that the jaw was like, I. I'm giving up.
Steve Fury
Dude, your jaw hurting so bad you'd rip out your own teeth.
Dave Anthony
Oh, okay. It's like Rocky. What's he saying?
Gareth Reynolds
He wants to try the eight ball. He said, nazi didn't get the eight ball in it. Treat him like one of those billiard tables that has those little pockets.
Steve Fury
Wow.
Dave Anthony
There's no way they could understand him, right? I mean, there's no way he could.
Gareth Reynolds
I mean, imagine the check in. All right, what. What brings you to the hospital?
Dave Anthony
Could you. Sir, could you take the egg out of your mouth? And then we will discuss.
Gareth Reynolds
All right. And what are the side effects? Aha. Aha. Do you have a primary? You know, just fill out this paperwork. It's six pages, double sided. Ah, you have insurance? Oh, is it an arm thing? What's going on? I think he's having a bit of a stroke.
Dave Anthony
I love that he went to a children's hospital because he. He probably. It was probably the only place we're like. I mean, that's the only place they've dealt with something like this.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Steve Fury
Before you get. You normally get transferred to, like, a Cedars Cancer Institute. He's at a normal hospital, and he gets transferred like children.
Gareth Reynolds
He's just, like, sitting next to a kid that has a fire engine in his mouth. Another kid that just.
Steve Fury
So how did you guys live here?
Gareth Reynolds
I just tried to put a bunch of Legos up my ass.
Dave Anthony
I did have to go to the hospital, the children's hospital when I was a kid, because there was.
Gareth Reynolds
That's right.
Dave Anthony
A game where it was. There were, like, little ant things, plastic ant things. I don't know what you did with them, but my sister and her friend were like, I dare you to put that up your nose. And I was like four or something or five. And so I did it. And then it wouldn't come out because I shoved it up there so far. So I had to go to the.
Steve Fury
Oh, dude. I knew a kid put a battery.
Gareth Reynolds
Anthony.
Steve Fury
I knew a kid put a battery in his.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh.
Steve Fury
And never told anybody. It disintegrated, melting his brain. He's.
Dave Anthony
What are you talking about? What the are you talking about?
Gareth Reynolds
Stop it.
Steve Fury
He put a battery. He was too embarrassed to tell his mom. You know when a battery gets wet, Starts getting that corrosion at the ends.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Steve Fury
Corroded in there and it up his whole head. And he was never the same. I mean, he's actually worse than. He's worse than Never the same. He's not right.
Gareth Reynolds
Has anyone changed the battery?
Steve Fury
No, we kept it up there. He seemed to like it a little bit.
Gareth Reynolds
The doctor takes it out and. Oh, no, it's still got it. James in there.
Dave Anthony
Oh, where's. Where's the flashlight? I gotta.
Steve Fury
He just sneezes. Tell Tim to sneeze. There we go.
Gareth Reynolds
There we go. All right. I could see right here. Oh, you got a bunch of hair in the drain.
Dave Anthony
How old was. He's a child. Child.
Steve Fury
He's actually one of my cousins. A cousin's cousin. Like a cousin's kid.
Dave Anthony
This is the craziest story. I can't believe you topped my. No, no. I would think he wouldn't be doing well. I bet.
Gareth Reynolds
I gotta say the fourth.
Dave Anthony
Maybe there wasn't a good outlook for him in the first place.
Steve Fury
No, you know, I mean, a lot of. We've just. Like, the burns is with balls. The Furies do put things in our noses. And.
Gareth Reynolds
The four times. Steve, with total seriousness, like, he's not doing great. He's deteriorated greatly.
Steve Fury
How Old are we hear this. But I don't have to worry. I don't think he's gone on the Internet.
Dave Anthony
No, he doesn't know how to work a podcast. How. How. How old is he now?
Steve Fury
Eight or nine maybe.
Gareth Reynolds
You okay?
Dave Anthony
Oh, he's a kid. Kid still.
Steve Fury
Yeah. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Did you fall?
Dave Anthony
How did they find the battery?
Steve Fury
Kid was like having problems. Like, serious problems. He said his head was hurt when the doctor and it was already up there and it already like.
Dave Anthony
Oh, my God.
Steve Fury
Yes. Wow.
Gareth Reynolds
Can we get him on the show?
Dave Anthony
Holy God damn. I like listener.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
There's so many jokes I have right now that I'm absolutely not gonna say.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Yeah. Hey, David, I don't know if you heard from Steve. He's not doing great. Yeah, the embarrassment to not. I think I'll just change my brain. I don't want to bother anyone.
Dave Anthony
I feel bad for the guy, okay? Oh, yeah, we all do. This is out of Kansas. Groom kidnapped by the bride's jealous rivals. Jealous rivals of the girl.
Gareth Reynolds
Rival bridegroom rivals.
Dave Anthony
Are there any rivals? You want to say anything right now? Yeah, Linda.
Steve Fury
If anyone has an objection, please stand up. You see like six people in leather jackets.
Gareth Reynolds
Christ. All the rivals. I'll go first. She owes me a bounty. I've been competing with her my whole life.
Dave Anthony
Can I just say she ain't all right.
Gareth Reynolds
Rivals, not rivals. Anyone who's not a rival. The rival's table. Pretty good cake, though. Yeah, at the rivals table.
Steve Fury
Oh, crush the rivals table. Everyone else is a rival.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, everyone else has a curly mustache. Or a gun.
Dave Anthony
Hey, Frank, tell us why you think she's.
Gareth Reynolds
I. I'm. I thought she was my friend.
Dave Anthony
No, go on. That's cool.
Steve Fury
I thought I'd be a bigger table.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm at the photographer table.
Steve Fury
I actually just know the photographer. They said he could bring somebody. Rivals.
Gareth Reynolds
I ordered steak. You'll have salmon. Do. Well, this only digs the cut deeper.
Dave Anthony
Jealous rivals of the girl he married kidnapped JB Steinrod from his bride for a few hours here and finally tied him to a telephone pole where he was kept prisoner for more than an hour.
Gareth Reynolds
What in the name. What?
Dave Anthony
He had on no overcoat. And the free. And the temperature was below freezing.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, what. What rival doesn't have an overcoat?
Dave Anthony
On. On. No, he is. He's not. He's the husband. Yeah, he's not a rival.
Gareth Reynolds
All right.
Dave Anthony
The rivals took it.
Gareth Reynolds
Sounds like the rivals there should.
Dave Anthony
Honestly, the way we're this story so far, there really should be jealous rivals at every Wedding because it makes so much more exciting.
Gareth Reynolds
The best You.
Dave Anthony
You get more out of a story if there's conflict and drama and someone to bounce stuff.
Gareth Reynolds
You have the brides, you have the. You have the groomsmen, you have the bridal party. And then you just have like the rivals standing there. Just like.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. All right, it's time for the best rival to speak.
Steve Fury
I love you talking your family. So I want to thanks the grooms family being here. You guys are going to cover the rear. The. You guys look great. You're going to get west north, and we're going to have the.
Gareth Reynolds
Keep in mind these rivals love to swing in on chandeliers. So keep your eyes peeled.
Dave Anthony
And I need to reiterate. No knives.
Gareth Reynolds
No knives.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Steve Fury
This is all. It's all guns, baby.
Gareth Reynolds
Has anyone seen my husband? Oh, God.
Dave Anthony
Oh, he's tied to a God. The rival tied up to a pole.
Gareth Reynolds
The rivals.
Dave Anthony
Okay, this is the best he on. He had on no overcoat and the temperature was freezing. Steinrod had been married only a short time to Ms. Ada Smith, a young widow. Wow.
Steve Fury
He died.
Dave Anthony
This is. I don't know.
Gareth Reynolds
She'd already lost.
Dave Anthony
She was already like.
Gareth Reynolds
She's like my last husband. They threw in ice water. Not again, Gabe.
Dave Anthony
The girls caught him soon after the ceremony and after tying him to a pole, slapped his face, kicked his shins, and otherwise maltreated him.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow.
Dave Anthony
Steinrod went before a justice of the peace and swore out warrants for all those in the crowd he had recognized.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow.
Steve Fury
Wow.
Dave Anthony
That is so crazy.
Steve Fury
I love the idea that he's like, you kicked my shins. Like, prove it. She's got like steel toe platform or like stilettos. You.
Gareth Reynolds
Why. Why did you lump everyone from the wedding in a crowd? We're not very good at this.
Dave Anthony
Puts cold feet on a wife's back and she is suing for divorce.
Gareth Reynolds
There has not been one normal legal proceeding.
Dave Anthony
No, this is. This is what newspapers are for.
Steve Fury
What?
Dave Anthony
It's exactly what they need.
Gareth Reynolds
Suing you.
Steve Fury
Yeah. You know, the people, they always, like, pretend the past was better. Seems like the past if this was all the problems people had.
Gareth Reynolds
True.
Steve Fury
To take it back. We need to make America great again.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Finally.
Steve Fury
Finally. We finally have one reason to show.
Gareth Reynolds
How great would it be to run on maga. But. But I mean it. But I like ser. In earnest Maga.
Dave Anthony
This story is out of Pittsburgh because the fires were out one cold night in 1906 when John Welfar, a wealthy wholesale grocery, returned home. His wife declares he put his Cold feet on her back to get warm. Now she is the respondent in a divorce on trial, and the charges are cruel and barbarous. Treatment and indignities. So. She brought that up in the divorce. I mean, she brought up in the divorce.
Gareth Reynolds
I know we're just three dudes, but come on. Come on. I feel like. I mean, that happens. That's part of the game of being a couple. You're trying to, like, make the other one cold, put your fingers up their butt when they're walking in front, all that stuff. That's part of the thing.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay. Glad we all signed off on the book.
Dave Anthony
All right. We're all fine. Yeah.
Steve Fury
Yeah. I don't think anyone's on her side, sadly, for being pretty liberal. I don't think anyone's on this woman's side.
Gareth Reynolds
No, no. That's why I've always said not all women.
Steve Fury
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
That's why I started that hashtag. And everyone piled on.
Steve Fury
This is what I meant. I meant.
Gareth Reynolds
This is what I was talking about. Some of these women. Hey, remember when Jay Leno took that fall and half his face was a bruise? That's a non sequitur. What was that about?
Dave Anthony
That was fine. It was just. It was only, like, six months after he got his face hurt before. So it's all normal. He's not in any sort of situation where he has to pay debts and he's not paying them or, you know, not.
Gareth Reynolds
What are you talking about?
Dave Anthony
He's not illegally gambling and caught up in a ring. It's just like Bill Cosby's son died. Even though there was no better going.
Gareth Reynolds
On to you with this.
Dave Anthony
And the Russian mob wasn't a hit.
Gareth Reynolds
What are you talking about?
Steve Fury
I mean, I think you could be right. I think it makes sense.
Dave Anthony
I also wanted Jay Leno muscle.
Steve Fury
And then you feed him, you meet him, and it's just the biggest face you have to punch. It's like a punching bag.
Gareth Reynolds
We are. Our backs hurt. Our backs are in great pain. You cannot work the chin. Yeah, Come on, Try again. Why don't you guys keep going? I don't care how much money you owe, you keep going. It's like Rocky pounding a steak inside of that warehouse.
Dave Anthony
Now. I was out in the middle of nowhere doing. That sound like Mike Tyson. I was out in the middle of nowhere doing. At a hotel, at a place, and then I fell down a path. It's a bunch of times.
Gareth Reynolds
It's not. I can't believe that.
Dave Anthony
It's not on the up and up. It's not on the up and up.
Steve Fury
It's not bruises on your face and that scrapes.
Dave Anthony
It's not.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, I'm in the minority.
Dave Anthony
If there's something weird there. There's something weird going on for sure.
Gareth Reynolds
He was like, but he has a warehouse of cars. Wouldn't he just be like, take the Model T. I'm sorry.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, well, who knows what he's involved in? He's. He's up. Something happened that's not good. And he's getting. He's gotten the kicked out of him twice now.
Gareth Reynolds
Leave the chin alone. Work right eye.
Steve Fury
He's the silent partner in all the Diddy parties.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, that's right. Boy, I don't think I was supposed to have that cocktail. I don't remember anything. Jesus Christ, Jay. Keep your eye on the prize. All right, Hip hop. All right, let's go. Hip it at the hip, hip, hip, hop. And don't stop the boogie and the jam with the boogie and up, up the boogie with the boogie with the boogie the beat. Come on. All right. That's crazy.
Dave Anthony
That's a guy who got kicked in the face.
Steve Fury
Yeah, that's what it looks like when.
Dave Anthony
You get kicked in the face.
Gareth Reynolds
That foot. Ow.
Dave Anthony
Just. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
They put a pool ball in my mouth and I chewed it like it with some gum.
Dave Anthony
I was walking right outside that Motel 6 and I fell down and just dragged my face on the floor.
Steve Fury
Six could be prostitutes. That might make more sense because he.
Dave Anthony
Was like, it could be prostitutes. He is a sexual. He is a total. Like, I knew in the. In the early 90s, mid-90s, a guy who went to his house for dinner. It was like a. Like, four or five couples. Fancy.
Gareth Reynolds
He's saying Diddy, by the way. Go ahead, keep going.
Dave Anthony
And his entire back wall was a television screen, and he just had porn playing on it the whole night with just everyone eating and stuff. So he's not a normal gentleman.
Steve Fury
Are you serious?
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Steve Fury
No, I can't tell. I don't know. Dave, enough.
Dave Anthony
I'm completely serious. I'm completely serious.
Gareth Reynolds
Was he.
Steve Fury
Because I never even heard of his wife.
Dave Anthony
Was he ever married?
Gareth Reynolds
Gentlemen.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
We need to start a new podcast. This is. This. Honestly, the Leno pitches is too good.
Dave Anthony
His wife was. His wife was very active in, like, helping the women from the Taliban. So who knows? Could be the Taliban.
Steve Fury
This was so crazy.
Gareth Reynolds
This.
Dave Anthony
This is Taliban hates porn also. Come on, put it together. Two plus. I told you, on the left. New Rogan, work with me.
Steve Fury
Yeah, this is getting real Rogany. This Is getting real.
Gareth Reynolds
Rogan. Dare I say Rogan's argument's more informed. Dave's just like, how about another keyword? Taliban. How we feel. What do we feel about the Taliban? They might be involved. I don't know how deep this goes.
Steve Fury
At a wall with different words.
Gareth Reynolds
He's just playing catch with a Taliban. What do you think about that?
Dave Anthony
How do you think he got the Tonight show you over? Over?
Gareth Reynolds
Just like, explain to me what's on the back of the 20.
Dave Anthony
Bill, nobody's talking about Letterman like he's not involved in this. Like he isn't working within this crew trying to take out Leto.
Steve Fury
But if this is like, you know.
Dave Anthony
Those bruises on his face are Letterman sized shoes.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my God.
Steve Fury
It's like how the cold war never stopped. The Tonight show war never really stopped.
Gareth Reynolds
They never saved. Oh, Dave and Jay, they're still going.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. And the Taliban, by the way, Dave beat him in the Raiders, but the Taliban got dragged into that fucking war.
Gareth Reynolds
Osama bin Leno. Think about it.
Steve Fury
I'm just in a cave.
Gareth Reynolds
If the cave's not that bad, I'll tell you what, it's pretty good here. I'll tell you what. This cave rocks and the fact that I can always grab one of us. Wow. That's our best. That is our best. Non sequitur on. I can't believe there's a world where I almost didn't mention that. Nine minutes of talking about how Jay Leno is in the pocket of the Taliban and they kicked him in the face.
Dave Anthony
No, he's against the Taliban.
Gareth Reynolds
He's fighting up.
Dave Anthony
Letterman's working with the Taliban. Stick with us. All right.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay.
Dave Anthony
Inside of Pittsburgh becomes a Caruso by crying coal. For 10 years, deal me Diomede Ventresco, a peddler has been wandering the streets crying a cool col. Now he has a voice almost as fine as Caruso's. The experts say. They attribute it to the simple regular outdoor training to which the unreal fuel vendor subjects his vocal organs.
Gareth Reynolds
So this guy sang Cole so much that he's great. This is like an America's got talent intro.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, it's just. He's just working on his vocal cords.
Steve Fury
But it's only one word.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, that's gonna be an issue. He is the best in the business. There is one thing I should tell you before you hire him. He's only good at singing Cole. So.
Dave Anthony
So?
Gareth Reynolds
So it's pretty easy to understand the parameters.
Steve Fury
Like he's good at with songs.
Gareth Reynolds
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That by the way. Very helpful if we can get one of those. But if there are words outside of coal, if there are lyrics that aren't the word cold, there's a lot.
Dave Anthony
Most. I mean, almost all.
Gareth Reynolds
Not gonna be. That's not gonna be great. So maybe pair them with someone who does the other words. Because Cole, he's the best in the business. He is the best in the business at call.
Steve Fury
But if you find every other word in the English language, then we can mix them together.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Again, I think. I don't. That guy might not fill in all the holes you're thinking. I mean, this guy is purely Cole. He's Cole only. And I'll tell you the other part. He will not learn another word.
Steve Fury
Not sing inside.
Gareth Reynolds
And he. By the way, he's an outdoor only coal guy, so.
Dave Anthony
Oh, my God. This is really not gonna be too.
Gareth Reynolds
Many fences around this project. But it's outdoor only and coal. And. And after. He needs to be paid. Yeah, go ahead.
Dave Anthony
The production is Le Mis.
Steve Fury
Yes.
Gareth Reynolds
Yes. Which I believe after we went through it, we couldn't find one call in there.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, it's not in there.
Steve Fury
Yeah, I was suggesting. This was my thing. La Miz in West Virginia could be great.
Gareth Reynolds
We think that'd be really good. Again, do it out. You have to do it outside. We cannot stress enough that he. He will, you know, inside for an audition.
Dave Anthony
None of our productions are outside, so.
Gareth Reynolds
That'S gonna be a big problem. Well, I'll tell you what. I don't know if this one will work for two reasons. The first is a lot. It sounds like it's all inside, which is a huge problem. The second is. I don't even think you have the word. He'll sing, which is.
Dave Anthony
No, not in. At the show. No, it's. It's Les Mis.
Gareth Reynolds
I just had an idea. What if you changed every word to call and you did it outside?
Dave Anthony
Yeah, no, that's not gonna. I mean.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, you're right.
Dave Anthony
Just the worst idea I've ever heard.
Gareth Reynolds
Better. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Honestly.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Well, there you go. Okay, well, keep us in mind if you have any musicals that are only coal or have coal in it. You want to pair them with a guy. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
I mean, I might just suggest you write one, because I don't think there's any out there that are actually just coal.
Gareth Reynolds
Cold, cold, cold, cold. Co, co. This is cold. This is cold. It's outside. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I've already got a bunch of stuff cranking. I'll put together a PDF, get that over to you guys.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, it's 1912, so we. There's no PDFs.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, big time. Big time, buddy. Big.
Dave Anthony
Okay.
Gareth Reynolds
I rep dogs. Yeah. And he will not work with the cold guy.
Dave Anthony
By the by Ventresco's coal. Ventrisco's voice was discovered when he was committed to the county jail on a charge of disorderly conduct. Warden Lewis was training his prison choir for Christmas. And the pedal times the pedal was asked to join. Scarcely had he run the scale when the warden dashed to the phone and summoned Professor Landon and other singing instructors.
Gareth Reynolds
Back to the future.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. They listened to the coal man's voice with open eyed wonder. He'll be in grand opera in two years with proper culture. They chorused. He will be tried out first in vaudeville.
Steve Fury
Well, what they say, like, wasn't like Whitney Houston or something discovered at like a gas station.
Gareth Reynolds
Is that true?
Dave Anthony
What?
Steve Fury
It's not. I'm gonna be honest now that that came out.
Gareth Reynolds
That you didn't hang in there for super long. Steve. I'm not gonna lie to you. You really.
Dave Anthony
She was right next to Of Boiled peanuts just singing away. She's a gas. She's one of the classic gas station singers.
Steve Fury
I think it was someone. I swear to God.
Dave Anthony
You do think it was somewhere?
Steve Fury
Yeah, someone was.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. Are you saying it might not have been Whitney, but someone was discovered singing at a gas station?
Gareth Reynolds
A gas station. I'll look it up.
Steve Fury
Oh, Tony Braxton. That's pretty close. Tony Braxton, was it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's Toni Braxton.
Gareth Reynolds
Crazy.
Dave Anthony
She's singing.
Steve Fury
She was. She was. She went to Bowie State University to get a teaching degree. She decided to sing professionally after she was discovered by William E. Petaway Jr. Who heard her singing at. While pumping gas. Yeah, I knew someone.
Dave Anthony
Now you're right. It's right here.
Gareth Reynolds
That is great. By the way, every other time, though, I'd be at that gas station if like, other people be like, stop. Like, if I heard that, I'd be, stop it. I wouldn't be like, great voice. I'd be like, we get it. You're needy. It's like when you would go to karaoke in LA and you'd be like, why are you here?
Steve Fury
Yeah, they're so good.
Gareth Reynolds
People be like, I didn't get hugged as a kid. Now I'm gonna sing nine songs tonight and ruin everything that LA karaoke is.
Steve Fury
They're pretty good though.
Gareth Reynolds
I know. That's what. That's what. That's not what it's meant, like. It's just not meant to be. A place for like the people who would like, go to LA karaoke and do like nine songs a night. And then they were like, this is everything. And they'd be alone and you'd be like, yeah, this is. This is sad.
Steve Fury
Yeah. I'll tell you though, after. I bet you after Braxton got discovered at a gas station, those 76 is all over the country.
Dave Anthony
Just.
Steve Fury
Just awesome people.
Dave Anthony
Just an opera singer shell just banging them out. Gasoline.
Gareth Reynolds

Dave Anthony
Samuel Best, 78, a retired fire department cat captain, saw a fire across the street from his home and dropped dead from excitement.
Gareth Reynolds
This guy was retired, so he was like, in his head, he was like, someday maybe they'll need me again. And then it's like across the street and his body can't contain himself and he dies.
Dave Anthony
Oh, it's happening.
Steve Fury
I feel like that's the guy. That's the type of guy who's like the nowadays guy who like, lives in Texas, goes to the gun range ten times a day.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Steve Fury
He's had a pistol on him all the time. Something happens. Gun jams. He got shot in the head.
Gareth Reynolds
We're not even gun jabs. He just sits like. They're like.

Gareth Reynolds
Too real. Too real. Too real.

Although two physicians have declared an operation on his skull would make Charlie White 12, into a good boy, his mother refuses to permit the surgeons to work because she believes in original sin.
Gareth Reynolds

Gareth Reynolds
Well, ma'am, I'm not gonna lie. We got in there and we completely lost the communication. Was. It's over, that kid. It's done. The boys we took out so much. It was like Garfield tried to sneak a piece of cake. And then in order to even it out and squish it together, he has to take more cake and then he eats the whole cake. Yeah, that with your boy's brain.
Dave Anthony
But as an added feature, we put a cue ball in his mouth.

How about a guy kept pulling a vine until he found Tarzan? I don't know, but this is a crazy part of the paper. A guy taught himself to read with an eye chart. I don't know. What. Is there anything there? I don't know. A guy licked so many stamps that he got hired by the poster. I. I literally, like, I am done. I can't even. I don't. You know what I mean? A woman Bought a human jar. She. Yeah. Sorry. I'm going to bed. This is. I'll. I'll noodle something. I'll noodle some.

He did do it shorthand. Like, he was like, you know, hot dog neckers.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, hot dog. Everyone's hot dog neck guys.
Gareth Reynolds
You know, hot dog neckers. You know, ball. You know, a ball game head. I. In 1912. I think that's a more recent thing. I guess we had, like. But, like, when you look at, like, morbidly obese back then, they were like, He's 300 pounds.
Steve Fury
I don't even know if that. I would probably say 200.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. So they probably didn't have the hot dog neckers back then.
Steve Fury
Yeah, you're right.
Gareth Reynolds
They were probably. And if they did, they were like, we've hired him for the circus.
Steve Fury
I do just love, like, the lumpy head guy. Like, just getting it bad, because even now, we just don't we're not doing it. But if someone had a bunch of lumps on their head, they're probably not, like, the most likeable person you've ever.
Dave Anthony
Seen in your life. Unless you like lumpy.
Steve Fury
Unless you like a lumpy.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, I love a lumpy, lumpy head.

Dave Anthony
This story is from Paris. A messenger boy has been reported to the police. Oh, sorry. A messenger boy has reported to the police the loss of a tube containing $8,000 worth of radium, which he says burned a hole in his pocket and fell to the sidewalk.
Gareth Reynolds
Not true. And by the way, that would be radio, invented by Marie Curie. That was.
Dave Anthony
This is the time they were using all that radium and watches and stuff. Why not?
Gareth Reynolds
I mean, okay, but then we're like, 10 years away from that kid being like, my hip fell off.

Yeah, absolutely. The kidship's gonna fall off.

Dave Anthony
Wives are just as important as cows.
Gareth Reynolds
I. Here's what I find strange. The fact that he's like, let me make a play for the W. Like, he's not going. Like, cows are awesome. He's like, wives also have value.
Steve Fury
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
That was the sweetest vibe. Yeah. Hold on. Hear me out.
Dave Anthony
Now, you can't milk them, but you can really get in there, if you know what I'm talking about.
Gareth Reynolds
What if I told you God invented a cow? You could. And it's called a wife.
Dave Anthony
I have a question, sir.
Gareth Reynolds
No, we're not doing those.
Dave Anthony
I can. My cow.
Gareth Reynolds
No. All right. That's why we don't do these. Not a question, and nobody wanted to hear it.
Dave Anthony
And she don't put her hot feet, wet and cold feet on my back. Or hot, wet feet.
Gareth Reynolds
What is going on? I got a real hot dog head.
Steve Fury
This crowd is.
Gareth Reynolds
Am I being canceled?
Dave Anthony
I thought my brain wanted to say cold, and it came up hot and wet.
Gareth Reynolds
Wet, by the way. You do. You are allowed to sue someone if they're like you. Like that clammy feet.
Dave Anthony
Your wives are just as important as your cows and should have as good care, said Dr. Harvey Wiley, Chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture to members of the Vermont Dairymen's Association. Here. A bathtub with hot and cold water in the house is just as important as a silo in the barn.
Steve Fury
Dude, I love it. He was just like this. Everyone was like, this guy's crazy.
Gareth Reynolds
And that. Is that it? Is that all?
Dave Anthony
That's it.
Gareth Reynolds
He made two points. He's like, I got two bangers. You got a Beth, hear me out. A bath is nice. And a wife will do.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, get yourself a wife, get yourself a cow, get yourself a bath. Bang, you're done, man. And the paper, you got everything covered. You got outdoor cover, you got indoor covered.
Gareth Reynolds
And you can get clean the paper. Giving this guy any space in the paper is like. It's like when someone films a crazy person in public and yeah, yeah, they exist. Leave them.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. Well, this is a tweet.
Gareth Reynolds
Like, yeah, this is like.
Dave Anthony
This is like a Ben Shapiro tweet.
Gareth Reynolds
Sometimes that'll happen when you argue with someone on Twitter and then you'll like, go to their profile. You're like, this person has been making points for eight years and gotten no likes.
Dave Anthony
No, none.
Gareth Reynolds
Like, nobody's liking anything. And they're still like, stop signs. Shouldn't be eight sided. They're just like, what are you doing, bro? This is crazy. This is message on a bottle. Well, Steve, thank you for joining us. Is your mother gonna listen to this?
Steve Fury
Probably, yeah. She's a dude.
Dave Anthony
She. Is she still in the phrenology?
Steve Fury
Yeah. No, she's lumpy as hell. I've been trying to shave them off. I tried putting a battery up in her nose. Apparently that added another lump. Let's see what happens.
Gareth Reynolds
She's lumpy as hell. And I tried shaving them off. Wrong approach. Well, thank you, Scuba Steve Fury. Truly one of the funniest dudes ever. Yeah.
