Gareth Reynolds
All right, everybody. Welcome to the Pastimes podcast. Each week we go through an old newspaper from a random date in history picked out by Dave Anthony.

Dave Anthony
What were you doing?
Gareth Reynolds
What were you doing is a good question.
Dave Hill
I was literally picking up my sweet BMX bike and about to walk down the stairs and go on a sick BMX bike ride. And then I was like, would you.
Gareth Reynolds
Be filming some content on this ride?
Dave Hill
I might. I don't always. It depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm in, you know, if I'm up for it. I will. Depends how many cones I see.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, it's a cone based. Yeah, you make content a lot of.
Dave Hill
That's. That's my main thing.
Gareth Reynolds
Dave, it's hard to know what to promote for you because you're a successful author, musician, comedian, content man, hockey star.
Dave Hill
One of the greats.
Gareth Reynolds
What. What, what, what would you like people? Where can people find you, and why would people find you? Sell yourself to the people.
Dave Hill
All right. I've got a lot of heart. I would say upcoming if you're. If you're in New York. I'm doing my Residency at Lapo Saint Rouge, April 22.
Gareth Reynolds
Could you say that without the accent? Is that possible?
Dave Anthony
Yeah. Did you say it like, let's not do so accents?
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Don't be.
Dave Hill
I know I leaned into it because I. I was making fun of people who do that. You better be. But I really let. Let Le Passant Rouge do you know.
Gareth Reynolds
Dave and I are proud boys.
Dave Hill
Well, you know, things change so quickly.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, we became proud boys, but eight months ago. We got our. We got license.
Dave Hill
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay. So I just want to let you know that.
Dave Hill
Yeah, I'm doing that three more shows. I've been doing this weekly residency that just started, and I have four more Three more of.

From my apartment, which I really like. So do that. And then my, My debut comic book series is coming out May 14th. Christ called Dark.
Dave Anthony
Have you thought about doing less?
Gareth Reynolds
It's crazy.
Dave Hill
Yeah, I. I don't want to do anything really.
Gareth Reynolds
That's the goal.
Dave Hill
I was just talking about this. Someone was saying something, you know, saying that I do a lot of stuff yesterday and I was saying I don't really want to do anything other than hang out with my dog and then eat snacks with my girlfriend friends and things like that. But you gotta have like stuff to talk about.
Gareth Reynolds
So I just want to eat snacks with my girlfriend. Is what a kid thinks being an adult is.
Dave Hill
It's what this adult thinks being pretty good is. I'm just missing like. I just need a little more money.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Well, yeah, after this I think you'll.
Gareth Reynolds
Get a bunch of that.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. But I think, I think despite over the next. I think over the next four years we're all going to become really rich.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, we're all. Yeah, absolutely.
Dave Hill
We.
Gareth Reynolds
There are really good things happening and once China stops around.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
You know, we'll. We'll really.
Dave Hill
Everything's gonna be great.
Gareth Reynolds
Everything's really going to be very great again finally.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Anyway, we're not here to. Yeah, no, go ahead. I mean. Well, look, like I said, I'll just.
Dave Hill
Say I'm looking up barbed wire for that. I'm going to line my. All the traps I'm going to set around my home.
Gareth Reynolds
It's never been a better time to have a seven foot dragon at your fingers. That's for sure. Well, Dave, you know what we do on this show?
Dave Hill
I sure do.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't decide. Not you. Better. Best days.
Dave Anthony
Sorry.
Dave Hill
Jesus.
Dave Anthony
Wow.
Gareth Reynolds
You know we are. We like to go through old papers. We like to guess the year again. We've become proud boys. So there'll be no sort of anti America stuff. Yeah, right. We're both holding box cutters and we have tear guests close to us. But. But why don't you. Dave Hill, best Dave of the show. Why don't you guess the year you think this paper's from? I'll Guess after and spoiler, you will win this.
Dave Hill
I'm gonna go 1937.
Gareth Reynolds
Interesting, interesting, interesting. 1891.
Dave Anthony
Gareth, you're so bad at this. It is 1936. September 5th.
Dave Hill
Yes. Oh, my gosh.
Dave Anthony
Yes.
Dave Hill
I scared myself just now.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, you're basically a warlock.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. No, you should be burned or drowned or both.
Dave Hill
This feels good. I bet it does.
Gareth Reynolds
That was good. Good for. It's a good start.
Dave Hill
Can I ask, just in terms of my facial expressions and things that I'll be using throughout this show, is there video that will be used? Will there be some video? Okay. Yeah. So, yeah. So I would have leaned into the surprise more.
Gareth Reynolds
Do you want to do another take?
Dave Hill
Oh, my gosh. I was so close.
Gareth Reynolds
Dave, will you say what the actual year is one more time?
Dave Anthony
It is 1936.
Dave Hill
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I don't know what that reaction was. That was.
Gareth Reynolds
That one is. Was. The one you did in rehearsal was better, but we were rolling, so we'll probably.
Dave Hill
Okay, yeah, just cut it in as needed.
Gareth Reynolds
That was great.
Dave Anthony
Thank you, Dave. What's the. What's the hockey jersey you're wearing?
Dave Hill
I'm glad you asked, Dave. A guy on Instagram was kind enough. This happens every once in a while. Someone will write and say, can I send you a jersey or sweater, as they are often called? And this is the Flinflon Bombers, which was the junior team, probably most famously, to my mind, anyway. Bobby Clark, NHL great, played for them in Flynn Flan, Manitoba. And this guy.
Gareth Reynolds
Those are not places for those.
Dave Anthony
I don't think they are either.
Dave Hill
Yeah, it's. I believe it's northeast of Winnipeg by about an hour and a half or two. And. And he. This guy, Mark McDonald, DMed me and was like, I want to send you a jersey. And a lot of times people will say, oh, I want to send you something. And I think you're going to send me a bomb or something, aren't you? Right. And. And. But he. He sent. And my policy now is if it's coming from another country, I just give him my home address because I'm like, what are the chances of them showing up?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Stateside people, my girlfriend, they can.
Dave Anthony
They can find you anyway, if they really.
Dave Hill
They can. Yeah. But I do have a P.O. box. My girlfriend made me get one.
Gareth Reynolds
Also, how a Child abused Adulthood. My girlfriend.
Dave Hill
Well, I'll tell you what happened. Someone sent me a package, and I couldn't remember, you know, who had sent it or what it was, and I was opening it, and it was just this Box that was obviously not from, like, it was from an individual, but. And I opened it and I just saw an American flag. And right away we were like, oh, no, this is a bomb. And.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, that's right.
Dave Hill
And then it turned out there was like a vintage flag, but then all these other nice items that someone had sent. But then she was like, you know what? It's time. Yeah, that makes sense. Anyway. But yeah, so this guy Mark was kind enough sent me jersey hat tokens, they call them a couple sticker. Really? The full.
Dave Anthony
You got the whole thing.
Gareth Reynolds
The full apparel, we call it.
Dave Anthony
Who's your. Who's your NHL team? Are you guys. Are you in the playoffs this year?
Dave Hill
No, sadly, we're out. The Rangers. I, I root for the Rangers because I live in New York and I, I, I'm more a lover of the game. So I just go root for the home team, you know?
Dave Anthony
Sure, I get it. All right. Well, this is. Oh, this is a big hockey town. Reno, Nevada. Reno Gazette, September 5, 1936. Reno, of course, Famous for their hockey.
Dave Hill
Sure.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. The re.
Dave Anthony
The Renos.
Gareth Reynolds
Things were never good in Reno. But what was it like? Everything was bad and Reno was existing.
Dave Anthony
Reno has never. Yeah. Someone. Didn't someone write to us recently and say, hey, you guys. Yeah, someone was saying that.
Dave Hill
I hear you.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, the Reno stuff is a little bit much. And I just want to say, like, you can never say enough bad things about Reno. Like, Reno is. It's not good.
Gareth Reynolds
No. People ask us to go there or it's. It's a. No.
Dave Hill
It really is. It.
Gareth Reynolds
It's.
Dave Hill
It's. It's bad.
Dave Anthony
Reno's. Reno's. Like, what if Atlantic City was landlocked?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Oh, wow. But I bet. I bet you could ring a couple nights of fun out of that town.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't think so.
Dave Anthony
It's pretty hard, man. I gotta be honest.
Dave Hill
It's. Well, yeah, you're in for a treat. I've taken the liberty. Oh, my God. Of booking a gentleman's weekend in.
Gareth Reynolds
My.
Dave Anthony
What's on the agenda? Do we have any plans?
Dave Hill
Dave, I wish you'd asked me what wasn't on the agenda because then it would take me a lot less time to answer.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay, what's not on the agenda? Well, never mind.
Dave Hill
Being well mannered and knowing our limits. That's not on the agenda.
Gareth Reynolds
Knowing.
Dave Anthony
I love it. All right. Mother rescues two small boys after miles swim. That's a long swim.
Gareth Reynolds
Mild mile. Oh, miles. Okay, sure. Yeah. That's a distance.
Dave Hill
This is.
Dave Anthony
This is news out of Quincy, Massachusetts. M. What are you doing?
Gareth Reynolds
Showing that I got. I could do a mile. Nobody flexing.
Dave Hill
Have you. What's your regimen?
Gareth Reynolds
I swim a lot of miles.
Dave Hill
Do you?
Gareth Reynolds
No, but I could. But Dave's arm's broken. Yeah, Dave's arms don't work.
Dave Hill
What do you do like parkour?
Gareth Reynolds
I do a lot of parkour where they tell me not to. I do a lot of.
Dave Anthony
It's hard when we're on tour. He'll just start parkouring a bit.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't even call it a tour. I call it a park tour. And I go around and I sort of jump from building to building and ledge to ledge. I'm a big ledged guy. I like to go ledge to bench.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, yeah, That's a good one.
Dave Hill
The thing about parkour, which I. Let's. To be clear, I am amazing at. But when you watch the videos, they do make it look so easy.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, well, we're just, we're. Because to us it's how you see it as a thing where we're just walking.
Dave Hill
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
That's how we view it. You. We look at you normies and we go, oh, look at him looking at me.
Dave Anthony
We call us grounders.
Dave Hill
Right?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, you grounders. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys are a bunch of grounders. So that's not what we do. Sometimes I jump over a bench and I turn into a somersault. Go ahead, Dave, you had something.
Dave Anthony
Ms. Chester V. Anderson, 24, went about her household tasks today as usual.
Gareth Reynolds
Wouldn't be able to miles that name.
Dave Anthony
A mile swim fully clothed to rescue her 5 year old son and his chum. Only a memory.
Dave Hill
Oh, just wait. What is she?
Dave Anthony
She's. She's gone back to her regular mom life after rescuing her.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, I thought that chum boy was actual chum at the end.
Dave Anthony
It is a. It is a bad word to use.
Gareth Reynolds
Chum is a bad term for a friend when you're talking about being. Drowning. When drowning in the ocean.
Dave Hill
And so the lead of this story is that she's just gone back to her regular life already.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, she compartmentalizes. Yeah, shoot that.
Dave Anthony
To baking pie.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Anthony
Suddenly missing the chatter of her son Chester and Gerard Reed, 8, Ms. Anderson stepped to the no.
Dave Hill
1. No 8 year old's named Gerard Reed. I'm sorry to interrupt you so quickly.
Dave Anthony
No, that's.
Dave Hill
But that's a 40. You're born 47 years old.
Gareth Reynolds
That's Gerard Reed.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, they come out. Really?
Gareth Reynolds
What were his first words? Hello, I'm Gerard reed.
Dave Hill
I'm sorry.
Dave Anthony
Ms. Anderson stepped into the porch of her home yesterday. But you're supposed to interject. That's the whole point is you interject and.
Dave Hill
Yeah, I know, but I feel, you know, I'm a. I'm just a Midwestern, well mannered guy.
Dave Anthony
No. Right. So you apologize for something about it.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, that's. You're going to have to shake that for this.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Right.
Gareth Reynolds
So just jump in.
Dave Anthony
Ms. Anderson stepped to the porch of her home yesterday afternoon and saw.
Gareth Reynolds
I got something to say like that. That's what you do.
Dave Hill
Yeah. All right. Bulldoze.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
All right.
Gareth Reynolds
Go ahead. That was just.
Dave Anthony
And saw the two drifting in the middle of four river in an or less rowboat. The current was carrying them to sea.
Gareth Reynolds
Row boat.
Dave Anthony
So they're just in a boat. That's. They have no way to control it. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, RO is a big part of that boat title. The horses.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Dave Hill
I thought the kids had swung.
Dave Anthony
Hey, what are you doing? Just jumping in.
Gareth Reynolds
Hey, hey, hey.
Dave Anthony
Jump in. Whatever you want.
Gareth Reynolds
Dave's.
Dave Hill
I thought you were talking about jumping in the water. I got confused.
Gareth Reynolds
But wait. Dave Hill has a very good point. We were told a swim had happened.
Dave Hill
So she swam.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh.
Dave Anthony
After the boat.
Gareth Reynolds
Because.
Dave Hill
Not to attack this writer further, but it's. It makes it sound like the kids swam a mile. Then maybe we're fatigued. Then somehow the mom swam to get him.
Dave Anthony
You're right. That is what it sounds like.
Dave Hill
So you're right also like if there's two kids in a boat, you just go. I don't know if they seem fine. Maybe I should get a boat and just take my time.
Dave Anthony
I gotta get some water. Go after them in a boat instead of jumping in the water.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Cause it's cold. We're talking about Boston.
Gareth Reynolds
She's clearly fine. She's gone back to her normal life.
Dave Hill
Yeah. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Distant memory without feet. I didn't realize that part.
Dave Hill
I think she has no frost.
Dave Anthony
They cut her feet off when she got back because of frostbite.
Gareth Reynolds
He's lying. Dave. He's lying.
Dave Hill
Wait, really?
Gareth Reynolds
Yes.
Dave Anthony
Let's. Let's re. Let's go back to the story. But you'll find out that I'm correct. The current was carrying the boat to sea. She plunged into the water fully clothed.
Gareth Reynolds
Damn.
Dave Anthony
That's.
Gareth Reynolds
How much better is that story if she got it all off?
Dave Hill
That's what I was just wondering. Like did stuff. Was stuff like kind of like shifting and this is.
Dave Anthony
This is the time of when the ladies are wearing like, you know. Like four dresses. Like the underdresses and underdresses. She's almost dying. And she swam through the choppy water to the boat a mile away. Then, grabbing the stern with one hand, she pushed the boat back to shore by swimming with one arm and kicking her feet.
Gareth Reynolds
Damn.
Dave Anthony
The boys had been playing in the rowboat at the shore, and they lifted the anchor and soon found themselves drifting in the middle of the river. Ms. Anderson, a former beauty contest winner, is the wife of a machinist at the naval air base.
Gareth Reynolds
Bury the lead. Much Hot Woman Gets Wet. That's the title. Yeah. As your story. That's.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Let me into this paper a little.
Dave Anthony
You'd be great.
Gareth Reynolds
Smoke Show Gets Drippy.
Dave Anthony
They were really. They were really obsessed with the mile swim. They. Yeah, I feel like they emphasize that too much. As opposed to what happened, which was.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Kids, almost a lady swimming in full. Fully clothed, like crazy water.
Dave Hill
Where on the. The husband was the. At the machine shop. We can only.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, he's working. He's working.
Gareth Reynolds
He's down at the shop.
Dave Anthony
And then he's the one who came back and probably cut off her feet because he has the.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't believe we heard anything about the feet being taken off, though, Dave.
Dave Anthony
Well, you know, I think, you know.
Gareth Reynolds
Off paper, you've been suggesting that she lost both her feet a lot.
Dave Anthony
I'm pretty sure she did.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. It seems like there's no.
Dave Anthony
Well, she's named Stumpy now, so can you explain.
Gareth Reynolds
Is there anything like that in the paper?
Dave Hill
I.
Gareth Reynolds
First of all, I don't think that's a good thing to.
Dave Anthony
You can read the lines.
Gareth Reynolds
That's interesting.
Dave Anthony
There's a story within the story. That's obviously there.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, there's one Dave on this show who should be apologizing, and it's not the guest.
Dave Hill
I'm enraged. I could tell.
Gareth Reynolds
I could tell. You're hot.
Dave Hill
That's what. That's my face. I'm enraged.
Gareth Reynolds
That's actually good. Let's get the clip for the show Now.
Dave Hill
I'm enraged.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Everything's crazy here. Tune into the whole episode to find out what just happened.
Dave Hill
Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, man. People are gonna have to watch the whole episode to see what just happened.
Dave Anthony
Slaying suspect makes escape after fight with police.
Dave Hill
Wait, we've moved on this. We've moved on from this woman already.
Gareth Reynolds
This is a paper, Dave. This is going to happen. Don't know.
Dave Hill
I get it. I get it.
Gareth Reynolds
Don't get attached.
Dave Hill
No, I know there's other stuff do you? Yeah. Okay.
Gareth Reynolds
Because.
Dave Anthony
Idiot.
Gareth Reynolds
No, no, that's another.
Dave Hill
No, that's another clip.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my God. What just happened? People are gonna have to listen to the whole episode to find out what just happened. For. I didn't text.
Dave Hill
I didn't come on this show to get ambushed.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm getting the whole show to figure out what just happened.
Dave Hill
Like, oh, man.
Dave Anthony
This idiot thought we were gonna do the one story the whole time.
Dave Hill
Oh, my gosh.
Dave Anthony
Every guest calls for that. Every single man.
Dave Hill
Oh, man.
Gareth Reynolds
This is how you Internet.
Dave Anthony
We're doing like a morning zoo ish thing on here now.
Dave Hill
Yeah, yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Things are pretty bad personally and professionally. So we're trying to do stuff like this now.
Dave Hill
Yeah, you gotta. You gotta go broad. You cast a wider net.
Gareth Reynolds
Thank you.
Dave Hill
Yeah, that's what I've been trying to do. It's not going well.
Dave Anthony
You're mad.
Dave Hill
It's not that well at all.
Dave Anthony
It's.
Dave Hill
Jesus.
Dave Anthony
Okay. When you get sad, do you just ride your BMX around the house or.
Dave Hill
I do, actually. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
It's pretty good.
Dave Anthony
Okay.
Dave Hill
Yeah, it's awesome. I got three of them.
Dave Anthony
You do?
Dave Hill
Yeah. That's probably three more than I should have.
Gareth Reynolds
That's the right amount.
Dave Anthony
Where do you keep them?
Dave Hill
One. I keep the po. I keep a couple in the hallway and I keep one on the. The party deck.
Gareth Reynolds
You don't have to tell anymore.
Dave Hill
Just get back to the paper.
Gareth Reynolds
He's prying a little too much. Dave Hill. I'm sorry.
Dave Hill
Got him out.
Dave Anthony
You just. Gareth. You just let him. You just let him say party deck and you didn't even.
Gareth Reynolds
I know.
Dave Anthony
He said party deck.
Dave Hill
I think he's gotta come. I do, but it's. But when I go out there, I'm partying.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, you don't. So you don't understand that Dave is the party.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
That's not a joke.
Dave Hill
Low grade party.
Dave Anthony
That I know.
Dave Hill
There's my peaches.
Gareth Reynolds
It's fun, though.
Dave Hill
Yeah. Oh, yeah. No question.
Dave Anthony
This is out of Riverside, California. A man arrested for questioning in connection with the slaying of Ruth Muir at Lahala escaped from a deputy sheriff today after striking the officer in the head. Well, you should get to. If you hit a cop in the head, you should get to that officer.
Gareth Reynolds
Should have stopped resisting.
Dave Anthony
Thank you.
Dave Hill
Yeah. Wait, so run this by me again.
Dave Anthony
So, ma'am was arrested for questioning in connection.
Dave Hill
I was working on my expressions.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
And we got those. So now it's. You lock back in the. Yeah, yeah, we got.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, let's do it. It's Time to put on your listening clip.
Dave Hill
Okay.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. There you go. What.
Dave Hill
What the hell kind of show is this? You can use that.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, we get. We already got. I don't want to keep. We already have a couple of those, so just. Do you know what I'm saying?
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay.
Dave Hill
Right, Right. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Okay.
Dave Anthony
A man arrested for questioning in connection with the slang of Ruth Muir at Lahalla escaped from a deputy sheriff today after striking the officer in the head.
Dave Hill
Wow. Okay.
Dave Anthony
He hit a cop in the head. The man fled to a nearby field. That's where you go.
Gareth Reynolds
Which was everywhere back then.
Dave Anthony
You first get in a field, you.
Dave Hill
Go to the field, you hide it and hide among the stuff in the field.
Gareth Reynolds
Yep.
Dave Anthony
And the line of officers was hastily thrown around the district. That seems like they're not understanding how to deal with the field situation.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, that's what makes the field so confusing.
Dave Anthony
You know, it feels like a field is like the. The worst place to go because they could just see you. But then at the same time, now the cops are just fanning out all over the district.
Gareth Reynolds
It's a field. Seems safe.
Dave Anthony
Does it?
Dave Hill
Yes. I mean, to me. Yeah. Because you can't. You could fake people out in the field.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm also picturing a high, high field. I'm picturing a cover, like, a lot like high growth.
Dave Anthony
Oh, you're picturing. Okay, okay.
Dave Hill
Yeah, yeah. Because this is pre lawnmower era, right? Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
They hadn't embedded cutting back then.
Dave Anthony
Everything was grown.
Dave Hill
That was weak size.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, that was those ages away.
Dave Anthony
The suspect was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Walter Sibley, who placed him unhandcuffed in his automobile and started to turn his car around, and the man hit Shelby Sibley, who was off guard, and opened the car. The door of the car. So. So basically, there's a lot of words in this, but the. The cop didn't cuff him. And so, yeah, I was like, well.
Gareth Reynolds
This could have changed the trajectory. Like, we could have been dealing with less aggressive cop. Like, you know, putting people. We could have had an uncuffed arrest society, which would have been great, but this guy kind of ruined it for everybody. This guy's the shoe bomber of police cuffings. It's like, now one guy fucks up, and now. Now it's got to be a whole thing.
Dave Hill
Mm.
Gareth Reynolds
Thank you. Care for your long stand?
Dave Anthony
Not really buying the.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, not a lot of people doing shoe bomber stuff. On a history paper podcast, Sibley reported.
Dave Anthony
That he drew his gun and struck the man on the head.
Gareth Reynolds
Have a piece of paper and pen like that, Dave, you just feel free to do that. Go ahead, Dave.
Dave Hill
Yeah, just.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, just if you got it, go. Let it rip.
Dave Hill
Yeah, let it. Let it rip.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
All right.
Gareth Reynolds
Go ahead, Dave. Anthony, Go ahead.
Dave Anthony
Sibling.
Dave Hill
That guy.
Gareth Reynolds
No, sorry. That makes as much sense. Like, that is like. Yeah, that doesn't make as much sense.
Dave Hill
That was just a general. I just. I just said that so you could drop that anywhere.
Gareth Reynolds
Clip. Yeah, but no, that's. No, no, we're just.
Dave Anthony
We got more specific.
Gareth Reynolds
We got the clip.
Dave Hill
All right, so you're saying I should react to things that you say and not just have things that you can use.
Gareth Reynolds
That's whatever you want. Start kind of locking into what's happening. I mean, again, we've got the. We've got eight clips of you. They're great.
Dave Hill
All right, that's implausible, but. Sorry, I'm doing it again.
Gareth Reynolds
And that wasn't even good to be.
Dave Hill
No, no, that wasn't.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, you can also wait until I started talking.
Dave Hill
That was for the NPR version.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Yeah, that's good to have. All right.
Dave Hill
Okay.
Dave Anthony
Sabley reported that he drew his gun and struck the man on the head.
Gareth Reynolds
Did he have a piece of paper. Sorry, I. Sorry. Go ahead, Dave.
Dave Anthony
With the butt of the weapon. But in spite of the injury, the man escaped.
Dave Hill
Yeah. You never go. But, no, you gotta sideswipe them.
Gareth Reynolds
You know, maybe on an anniversary.
Dave Hill
You know?
Dave Anthony
The other thing is, you could also shoot him.
Dave Hill
Yeah. If you want to. If you want to keep them, you.
Dave Anthony
Go buy butts for a honeymoon.
Dave Hill
Yeah, yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Yep.
Dave Hill
Or a parking garage. I'm sorry. I've revealed too much. I'm so sorry.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't know why that is so horrible.
Dave Anthony
Visual is just horrible.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. It's just a really. Just seems like a bad time for it to be. Not that there's ever a great time, but that seems particularly wrong.
Dave Hill
Yeah. I don't know.
Dave Anthony
Every time you go into a parking garage, you look over.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
You got to be careful.
Gareth Reynolds
You think of what I'm thinking? No. Oh, you just want to go shopping? Yes.
Dave Hill
Oh, boy.
Dave Anthony
Officers said the.
Gareth Reynolds
Did I pay for the ticket now? You want to go to the car? Just pay for it now. Okay.
Dave Anthony
Officer said the suspect answered the general description of a man who told an Ontario rancher that he had seen the killer of Ms. Muir. Ms. Muir was general secretary of the YWCA here and was prominent in civic affairs. So she deserved it. That's what I'm hearing.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't think that's right. No, I don't think that's a co sign?
Dave Anthony
I think so.
Gareth Reynolds
No. Why? Because the ywca.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, whatever.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Why did they ever make a like a female Village People? I think that would have done well. How does my conversation work on this show?
Dave Hill
Is it not good?
Gareth Reynolds
It feels.
Dave Hill
I was picturing it.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay. Yeah.
Dave Hill
I don't know.
Gareth Reynolds
In 1937, there probably weren't a lot of job options for the women to be at. In the. In the outfit, I guess. Feels like we're not taking the.
Dave Anthony
Did you bring up. Did you bring up fashion there for a sec?
Gareth Reynolds
Not really, but go ahead.
Dave Anthony
Women with small waistline to benefit by newest styles.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, God.
Dave Hill
Oh, okay.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, that's good.
Dave Anthony
It's the woman with the small waistline who will benefit by the new styles from Paris. That is the opinion of Ms. Carmel Snow, magazine editor.
Dave Hill
Carmel Snow.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
It's a good name, right?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
I mean, not to, you know, not to pile onto the female Village People, but that's it.
Gareth Reynolds
There we go.
Dave Hill
That's the. That's a band name or one of the members names. Carmel Snow.
Gareth Reynolds
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. She's like an iditarod woman. Go ahead, Dave.
Dave Anthony
Brought back from the fashion shows of the French capital yesterday.
Gareth Reynolds
As for style, funny that anorexia is in for women finally, and it's come from Paris.
Dave Anthony
As for stunt women, they will simply have to diet, exercise, or be corseted. But there is nothing uncomfortable about the new corsets.
Gareth Reynolds
I think.
Dave Anthony
Uncomfortable about the new corset.
Gareth Reynolds
After fashion Week, we've come to the determination that women should not be eating and will be drinking diuretics.
Dave Anthony
That's it. That's the story.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, it's pretty bad.
Dave Hill
Wait, why. Why did they throw in that the. The new corsets are not uncomfortable when clearly they're. That's. They're just running defense there.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, they're creating defense.
Dave Hill
She.
Dave Anthony
She's probably just trying to get people to buy it, right? The new ones and be like, yeah, these ones don't hurt. And then you do it and you're like, oh, God.
Dave Hill
Then you're organ failure. But yeah, the pictures, the pictures.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, the pictures. Oh, the pictures.
Dave Anthony
But the thing about the organ failure thing, no one, organ failure is then they remove an organ and you're skinnier. So when your organ fails, it's all positive.
Dave Hill
This is true. No one loses, right? It's.
Gareth Reynolds
It's really a fat fail, if you think about it. If you really.
Dave Hill
Well, yeah. So I'm still stuck on the parking garage.
Gareth Reynolds
Dude, please get over there. As soon as possible.
Dave Hill
I keep going back. I'm still back there.
Gareth Reynolds
That's not the clip.
Dave Hill
Mentally. No, no.
Gareth Reynolds
Get out of there.
Dave Hill
That's bonus. That's Patreon content.
Gareth Reynolds
That's big Patreon stuff.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
So, Dave, what happened in the parking ride?
Dave Hill
Oh, there was a.
Gareth Reynolds
Don't answer.
Dave Hill
No, no, that's for the Patreon.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. That was close.
Dave Anthony
We are brought to you by Factor Factor Day Factor. Of course. It's a meal plan. It's a two minute meal that you can heat up right there in your house or wherever you are. Really good.
Gareth Reynolds
Or wherever you are, Dave, because I will tell you, you are making it seem like you can't do it other places. I took a bunch of factor meals on the road with me and it was the greatest decision I've made.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, because you're eating healthy. It's hard to eat healthy on the road. So you got that option.
Gareth Reynolds
So good. They are so good.
Dave Anthony
They're really good. They're really good.
Gareth Reynolds
So good. Luke and I heated a couple up in the hotel and we both were just sitting there like, this is the greatest. Yeah, it's so good. I had a poblano potato and white bean stew.
Dave Anthony
What? Yeah, that sounds really good.
Gareth Reynolds
It was delicious.
Dave Anthony
Can I have some?
Gareth Reynolds
And it had a tamale cake. I already ate it. Are you listening to me?
Dave Anthony
Well, it feels like you're leaving me out.
Gareth Reynolds
What do you want to. What are you talking about?
Dave Anthony
I had the red wine mushroom and chicken fusilli, which is a pasta for those of people who don't know what pastas are.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
And it tasty. It's tasty. It's really good. People love it. I eat it. You eat it.

Dave Hill

Gareth Reynolds
Come on, guys. No more Games get involved.
Dave Anthony
This is just a little blurb. When an ice cream truck caught fire recently in El Street, England, a ton of ice cream was melted.
Gareth Reynolds
So this is like a kid's paper.
Dave Anthony
You can see. Well, it's factual, isn't it?
Dave Hill
Is that. That there's. There's more to the story, right? Or is that just.
Dave Anthony
That's the story.
Gareth Reynolds
In and out story. Is that ice cream truck caught fire and it melted the ice cream.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Dave Hill
I need more. That was the one.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
That's the hottest story.
Dave Hill
That's like. Like it rained and people got wet.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
It's a little different. It's a little different.
Gareth Reynolds
It's.
Dave Hill
But it's a little different, I would.
Dave Anthony
Just say, because water comes from the sky.
Dave Hill
Yeah, but I mean, like, I don't know. How did the fire out of the ice cream truck get in that situation?
Dave Anthony
I assume the answer. I assume the ice cream did it. Ice cream sparks.
Gareth Reynolds
It does, yeah.
Dave Anthony
That's why you keep it in a freezer.
Dave Hill
If you. Oh, yeah. Will you put one like Pop Rock ice cream.
Dave Anthony
Thank you.
Dave Hill
Yep. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Here's another blurb. A man who broke into a tavern at Montville, New Jersey, ate and drank so much, he was asleep when police arrived to arrest him.
Dave Hill
Can't stay mad at him.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. That's the story of a hero. He did what he's supposed to do.
Dave Hill
They just showed up and they put a little blanket on him.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, yeah. He's like a human raccoon.
Dave Anthony
I love this guy. This guy's like, I'll show you closing time.
Gareth Reynolds
We'll arrest him when he wakes up. Just fat as chocolate all over his mouth.
Dave Anthony
Water dumped on communists. What else?
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my God. That makes them shrink and burn, right?
Dave Anthony
Buckets is in New York. Buckets of water were emptied on the heads of 1500 Communists and Communist sympathizers today as they picketed a luncheon for Julius Dortmiller, director of the German railroads.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, that would be. But that'll be best case scenario for the Communists in the next 20 years, I'd say.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't go well for luge. The ire of the picket line, which held up lower Broadway traffic for more than an hour, was aroused when someone in a nearby building leaned out the window and shouted, we want Hitler and Mussolini.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, sake. Oh, God. It's too real.
Dave Hill
Wow.
Gareth Reynolds
Too real.
Dave Hill
The more things change.
Dave Anthony
That's kind of exactly what's happening today.
Gareth Reynolds
That is exactly what is happening. And it's. It's still. It's like the people Getting mad at the people stopping, like, the traffic. When you're like, it's gonna be way worse. It's like, I am 15 minutes late for an event. You go to El Salvador.
Dave Anthony
Here's a story for Gareth Hen. Asleep on fast car.
Gareth Reynolds
There we go.
Dave Hill
I love it. Is there more? There's gotta be. No, right?
Gareth Reynolds
Better not.
Dave Anthony
There is, thankfully.
Dave Hill
I love that.
Dave Anthony
This is out of Harrismith. Orange Free State. What the.
Gareth Reynolds
You remember that? Okay, I've been to Harris. I did. They've got a. They've got a chuckle hut there.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Oh, yeah, it's great. Zone claims to. Harrismith claims to possess the fastest hen in the world. That's a big claim.
Dave Hill
That guy can off.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. I'm sorry.
Dave Hill
No, I'm just giving you another. He's right. Just giving you another clip.
Gareth Reynolds
I'll be honest. That one's back in the running. I don't think we need any more, but that one's pretty good. That was. That was genuine disdain.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Sorel Jo, a bartend. Sorry. A barber was in a hurry, and he jumped into a car, stepped on the accelerator, and accomplished his journey at an Average speed, about 50 miles an hour.
Gareth Reynolds
Whoa. When he reached his 30s. Whoa.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. When he reached his destination, he was surprised to see that everyone was laughing. He walked to the front of his car, and standing on the bumper on one leg was a hen fast asleep.
Dave Hill
So he's claiming it's the fastest hen.
Dave Anthony
The paper is the.
Dave Hill
Oh, the paper. Using the same logic, the man himself would be the fastest man. Also. It doesn't.
Dave Anthony
Wow.
Dave Hill
They can. They can off.
Gareth Reynolds
You've really kind of hit your threshold for a lot of the bullshit.
Dave Anthony
I think he's. I think he's right on this one. I think he.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, I think he's right, too, but it's.
Dave Hill
He's.
Gareth Reynolds
He's like. What I like is he's like an angry, Randy Rooney. He's just not happy with today's news.
Dave Hill
I've often, often been called that.
Gareth Reynolds
Angry Rooney.
Dave Anthony
The only really serious trouble developing during. There's no headline. The only really serious trouble developing during President Roosevelt's drought trip was on the question of snoring. It seems that three eminent exponents of the art of snoring. Exponents of the art of snoring allowed. Nearly broke up the trip. They were in Mr. Roosevelt's ratoon. And when they reached the small hotel bedrooms in the drought regions, they became a major problem. All right, so guys are sleeping the same. I. I assume that they're on a On a train.
Dave Hill
That's what I thought.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, that's what it seems like.
Gareth Reynolds
So there's a hen on there. That could be big. So it's like, boom.
Dave Anthony
It's like when Gareth did Bert Kreischer's. You got kicked off Bert Kreischer's bus for snoring, did you not?
Gareth Reynolds
No, I did not.
Dave Hill
Are you a snorer?
Gareth Reynolds
No.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, he's a snorer. No, he's a terrible snorer.
Gareth Reynolds
No, I'm not. You're lying.
Dave Hill
It sounds like you might be. I am. It's not nothing to be ashamed of.
Gareth Reynolds
Anything to be ashamed of it, but it's not something that I am.
Dave Hill
I have a CPAP machine. It's in the next room.
Gareth Reynolds
Is that right?
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Three BMXs and a CPAP. You're doing pretty good over there.
Dave Hill
Yeah. Got a bunch of sick guitars. Everything's going my way.
Gareth Reynolds
I did not know you had a seat.
Dave Anthony
How many hockey jerseys do you own?
Dave Hill
Probably like 50.
Dave Anthony
Wow.
Gareth Reynolds
Before you go to bed and put your CPAP on, do you ever look at your girlfriend and go, you want to know the difference between you and me? I make this look good and put it on. You recommend trying that?
Dave Hill
I got a lot. Well, I've taken to wearing, like, a winter hat or like some sort of head covering with it.
Gareth Reynolds
That's an interesting look. That's because that's interesting. Bedtime.
Dave Anthony
Well, sleep apnea.
Dave Hill
What? I realized I had started wearing and I realized it was ripping my hair out.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh.
Dave Anthony
Oh, really?
Dave Hill
And then I googled it. I was like, CPAP machine ripping hair out. And then there's just pages and pages of. Oh, yeah. Rips your hair out.
Gareth Reynolds
Did anyone. Anyone in there suggest the winter hat? Or is that. That feels like a Dave Hill solution?
Dave Hill
That was a Dave Hill solution. I mean, I bought some, like, some other sort of. I got a different mask, but basically, I mean, you know me. I mean, my hair is like, top five amazing things about me.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, it makes a lot of lists and.
Dave Hill
But I was like, I don't mind if I'm going natural hair loss, but this was like some mask ripping my hair out. So now I do that. So. It's crazy. It's crazy.
Dave Anthony
It sounds crazy.
Gareth Reynolds
It really.
Dave Hill
It's like waking up in a. In a chilly er.
Dave Anthony
I'm picturing you in a. An old timey smuge, like, sleeping hat.
Dave Hill
It's not far off.
Gareth Reynolds
If you have to go to the chamber pot in the night. Do you hold a candle and look a little freaked Out.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
And I sort of.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Hill
Right. Kind of take, like, kind of high steps. Yeah. Scamper about.
Gareth Reynolds
See your own shadow. Get a little.
Dave Anthony
Are you visited by three ghosts at all?
Dave Hill
Oh, hellhounds mostly.
Gareth Reynolds
And, Dave, your P.O. box is just when you pull a book off your bookshelf and it opens to a tiny room in the back. Right.
Dave Hill
That's basically it. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Okay.
Dave Hill
Yeah. And there's the mice in my apartment have fully furnished apartments with miniature, obviously, furniture. Yep.
Gareth Reynolds
Obviously. Yep. Okay, good.
Dave Hill
All right.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, I think we gotta read on that. Finally there's anyone listening. Finally has closure on that sort of stuff.
Dave Hill
Yeah, yeah. Which is great. Which is great. What I also wanted to say is if you listen closely to the. The. The. The mouse couple, they're. They're. They're acting out scenes from the Honeymooners. But, like, in mouse, like. Exactly. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
It's so funny how that show was about abuse.
Dave Hill
Yeah. It was abusive, man.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. He just. Woman. And I think that's cool.
Dave Anthony
It's pretty great.
Dave Hill
That's great. Yeah.
Dave Anthony
It'll be rebooted soon, I'm sure.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, yeah.
Dave Anthony
So.
Dave Hill
Because it was funny.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, it still is funny.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Director Morris Cook of the Rural Electrification Administration sought to harmonize arrangements by bunking two rural Sopranos together. But this did not work.
Dave Hill
Rural Electrification Administration.
Dave Anthony
That's right. They were electrifying the rurals.
Dave Hill
That sounds like a. Like. Like a kind of twee indie rock band.
Dave Anthony
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Opening for the national interest.
Dave Anthony
It does. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
This is what I'm saying. He's. He's a rock star.
Dave Anthony
He is a rock star.
Gareth Reynolds
Got a dragon.
Dave Hill
I got a dragon. It's not even my first one.
Gareth Reynolds
Jesus Christ.
Dave Anthony
How many dragons?
Dave Hill
Got like nine of them.
Gareth Reynolds
This is big for us.
Dave Hill
This is big for us.
Dave Anthony
You're like Iron Maiden.
Dave Hill
One man. Iron Man.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Wow.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, wow.
Dave Anthony
Both complained that the other was disturbing a slumber, and the third, who was a. A base, was lonely without accompaniment. And Roosevelt solved the problem by sending all three men home.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, so he just kicked off.
Dave Anthony
The three guys got kicked off the tour because they snore too much. Which is why I bring up you and the Bert Kreischer bus.
Gareth Reynolds
I did not.
Dave Anthony
You got kicked off the bus for snoring.
Gareth Reynolds
What are you doing? What is this?
Dave Anthony
What do you mean?
Gareth Reynolds
I finished the tour out like everyone else, and then I went home. And there was no talk of snoring issues at all.
Dave Hill
Well, you could hook up a CPAP machine on the bus.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't need it.
Dave Hill
I sound like My dad. My dad is obsessed with CPAP machines. He'll shoehorn them into any conversation.
Gareth Reynolds
Does he have one?
Dave Hill
Yeah, that's how I got wound up getting it. I don't like. Just shut him up.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, okay. He just took one of his old ones like a hammy.
Dave Hill
Fine. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
It's a. Mouth me down.
Dave Hill
It's the one he used in college.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, that's cute.
Dave Hill
Yeah, that's cool.
Dave Anthony
Fishermen in Morton Bay, Australia, recently netted 36 new species of oyster eating fish, which, like others of their kind, stand on their heads to eat with tails upward and clear of the water.
Gareth Reynolds
What?
Dave Anthony
There's no. That's not.
Gareth Reynolds
What are you talking about?
Dave Anthony
I can't be real.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm yelling.
Dave Hill
It's not a real story. That's all.
Gareth Reynolds
That's totally. I've caught 36 new kinds of fish that it'll be. They're oyster eaters and all of them, like, they stand on their heads like speckles. Look at this guy. He loves them standing on his head. What is he talking about? Nobody corroborated.
Dave Hill
How could they open the oysters just didn't seem.
Dave Anthony
That's a good question.
Gareth Reynolds
There's a bunch of good questions.
Dave Hill
Yeah, that's like one of the main ones.
Gareth Reynolds
That's a great one. I'm not trying to downplay how good that question was and I want to be super clear about that.
Dave Anthony
So AI is saying that.
Dave Hill
Oh, fuck that.
Gareth Reynolds
Another clip. I hate to say it. I'm back on the clip train. This guy's just a clip machine.
Dave Anthony
AI is saying that fish do not stand on their head with their tails in the air.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
No, but AI is wrong 50 of the time. So there's a 50 chance that it's true.
Gareth Reynolds
AI didn't tell me it was wrong 50% of the time.
Dave Hill
Oh, so like the. The definition of fish in 1936 was really broad.
Gareth Reynolds
You could throw a fish.
Dave Hill
Yeah, yeah. If it went in the water, it was a fish back.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Like an Italian.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
They're quite aquatic.
Dave Hill
Oh, yeah. Anyone will tell you that.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, yeah. I mean, that's still true.
Dave Anthony
I feel like if fish did do that, that Gareth would know because he's.
Gareth Reynolds
They definitely don't.
Dave Anthony
He watches all kinds of animal documentaries and whatnot. So you don't. Right. They don't like you. And you would be on that tip.
Gareth Reynolds
I would. If I didn't know about it, I would be looking into it shortly thereafter. Like recently when I easily identified a star nosed molecule anecdotally, what in the real world yeah. And I was like, oh, it's a star nose.
Dave Hill
Where.
Gareth Reynolds
What's going on? I. A star nosed mole in, in a yard.
Dave Hill
You saw one out in the.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Where?
Gareth Reynolds
Well, I Was it out of its mole hole? It was out of its mole hole and it was scampering about. No, it had gone, it had been killed. And, and sorry. No, I didn't. But no, you don't need to condolence me. I'm.
Dave Hill
No, you hate to see those guys.
Gareth Reynolds
Go, well, yeah, but that's really the one of. That is not. That is I, I an animal. Another animal killed it and another mole. I have very little information outside of the fact that it was a star nose mole.
Dave Anthony
So did you call the police?
Gareth Reynolds
No, no. It's a molecule. No, I shouldn't have. I should not have. So let's not allow.
Dave Anthony
Mole's life is not valuable to you.
Gareth Reynolds
It matters, but I don't think I want the police over there.
Dave Hill
Well, it would have been like a little gopher policeman.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't know how to get in touch with. Yeah, no, I don't know how.
Dave Hill
He's got a hat. He's got the hat, he's got the.
Dave Anthony
Bag, a little vest.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
He shows up, he's like two weeks away from retirement with this gopher cop.
Gareth Reynolds
Is.
Dave Hill
Yeah, yeah, he was, he and his wife were, they were gonna travel and.
Dave Anthony
Then he comes over and he's like, ah, I caught another one.
Dave Hill
I'm getting too old for this. The chief sent him out.
Dave Anthony
I'm getting too old for this.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, well, no, but it was just, it was a start anyway, so. Yeah, that was pretty much.
Dave Anthony
So start.
Gareth Reynolds
Is that the cops?
Dave Anthony
He was part of the gang.
Dave Hill
It's the gopher. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, and the, the gopher police. In my, in my mind, they don't drive.
Gareth Reynolds
All right. I'm not really. I'm not here to kind of, you know, figure out what those go for police mean to you two guys.
Dave Hill
So just a fun image.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, no, it's not, I'm not pushing back that there's a fun image and I love fun.
Dave Hill
Yeah. No, he's like writing down on a little. Okay, tell me what happened again. But he, you know, because, because it was because of his. What, they can't hold pens. They can't hold pens.
Gareth Reynolds
So why would he have. He goes over to crazy to have.
Dave Anthony
One, some of the other.
Dave Hill
Yeah. There's a lot of things that don't make sense.
Dave Anthony
Right. It's not, it's.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm not going to keep. Let's move forward into the. The paper.
Dave Anthony
So you're like an ACAB guy. You're like an all cops are bastards guy. That's who you are.
Gareth Reynolds
That's not even what I'm saying. I'm just saying I wouldn't call gopher police because I don't have their number. And it was also a mole. Yeah, but nobody should look as confused as you two do right now.
Dave Anthony
Well, it's weird that you're just thinking like murder's okay. You don't solve them.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't think murder is okay. I just think a star nosed mole. A star nosed mole rat. That's what it looks like.
Dave Hill
Let's see. Oh yeah.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. Okay.
Dave Hill
You didn't even like. Oh, you didn't even look around for like a weapon. Like a mini.
Gareth Reynolds
When a weapon.
Dave Anthony
Right.
Gareth Reynolds
When a weapon. Another animal killed it. It's nature. We're not going to do this. Let's push forward in the paper.
Dave Anthony
So if a person kills another person.
Gareth Reynolds
Don'T follow up with anything else.
Dave Hill
Huh.
Dave Anthony
So if a person kills another person, is that also not murder? Because we're.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm a human. Yeah. I'm a little more biased than what actions I will take at that point. I don't think if I called the cops even if they were gopher cops over a dead.
Dave Anthony
Literally there. That's the gopher job.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't think. I don't understand much of what's happening.
Dave Anthony
See all underground crime.
Gareth Reynolds
This. You are living in like Zootopia world.
Dave Anthony
Aren't we all though?
Gareth Reynolds
No.
Dave Hill
Wait, Zootopia. That was the Don't Go Ahead no album.
Gareth Reynolds
No, no. This next one's off of Zootopia.
Dave Anthony
There's some really good gopher songs on that album.
Dave Hill
Oh yeah.
Dave Anthony
Well, here's something that'll make Gareth happy. Fisherman dies in Snake River.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. I love Snake river by the way. Also where would have left with a fit. I don't know why that's for me.
Dave Hill
Is that in Colorado?
Dave Anthony
It's a lot of Wyoming.
Dave Hill
Wyoming. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave Anthony
It's in a. It's in a couple states.
Dave Hill
Yeah, yeah. A long winding river. Yeah, yeah.
Dave Anthony
It keeps spreading.
Gareth Reynolds
It's a beautiful river.
Dave Hill
Oh yeah.
Dave Anthony
Stanley Drage, Salt Lake City drowned Sunday when he slipped into Snake river rapids near this western community while fighting a hooked fish.
Gareth Reynolds
That's any fish that's just been caught.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. Hooked fish. Yeah. That's what it means.
Dave Hill
Wait, he was fighting the.
Dave Anthony
He was trying to reel in a fish hooked. Yeah. Or fighting it. He could have taken out of the water and was like, literally fist accomplished.
Gareth Reynolds
And when he fell in, his buddy looked to his other buddy and went, this just got real. Yes.
Dave Anthony
I'm so back, Gordon.
Dave Hill
It could have been the kids from the first thing with the boat.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, yeah. The kids who made them. The beauty queen mom get all wet. What was that story about? I forget.
Dave Hill
I thought it was about the footless lady. The foot. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Hot from the ankles up, but the rest is gone.
Dave Hill
Like Paul McCartney's third wife, Bridget.
Gareth Reynolds
She turned out to be horrible, too.
Dave Hill
I know. That's why I wasn't afraid to take shots at her.
Gareth Reynolds
Go.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
Gordon Hepler, also of Salt Lake City, nearly lost his life in a rescue attempt, but was pulled ashore by his brother. Drake's body was never recovered. So he died in the river and that was it. Nice fish fruit.
Dave Hill
This is bullshit. That's just a sound bite. That's not me. That's not me responding to what you said. I just wanted to give you another clip to work with.
Gareth Reynolds
Teen and the clip Machine.
Dave Hill
Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
Gareth Reynolds
This is garbage.
Dave Anthony
It's. It's actual papers that we're reading. New gas wholesaler. A device clip.
Dave Hill
I realize it's. I realize it's real papers. I just wanted you to.
Gareth Reynolds
No, we get that. Did you just say Gasol.
Dave Anthony
B?
Gareth Reynolds
Did you just say Gasole?
Dave Anthony
Yeah, no, I said gas wholesaler.
Gareth Reynolds
You did say.
Dave Hill
Oh, that's completely different. Completely different.
Dave Anthony
A device that should make the most unruly mob say uncle is. Is a new machine gun that hurls gas shells instead of bullets.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my God. There's a lot of crazy in very few words there.
Dave Anthony
Oh, cool.
Dave Hill
What's a gas shell? It's a shell with gas. I'm not an idiot.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't know.
Dave Hill
What is it?
Dave Anthony
It's an exploding. It's a. Yeah, it's an exploding shell. So you're shooting. Yeah, it's going to explode when it gets.
Dave Hill
Why don't we. I like that.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't think you will in the long.
Dave Anthony
I don't think you would. Yeah, I don't think you're gonna. Like.
Gareth Reynolds
I think soon enough you will be like, that's a shame.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, we shouldn't do that.
Dave Hill
All right, well, I don't know if you're gonna do it.
Dave Anthony
Police Captain J.W. johnson of Everett, Washington, is pictured just before he pulled the trigger of the Manville gas machine gun in a demonstration at the National Rifle Matches at Camp Perry. Yeah, he's. He's holding a Very large machine gun.
Dave Hill
Oh, wow. And he's. Then what happened?
Dave Anthony
Well, we know. Well, when it's. It's not coincidentally an Everett, because Everett was the place where they shot. They had a shootout with union guys. So I don't think it's a coincidence that they invited this gentleman to shoot the gun.
Gareth Reynolds
Fucking unions fuck everything up. Oh, my God, it's so annoying with your needs.
Dave Anthony
Yeah, no, you're right. All right, well, let's read this, sir, about a dying dog. Dog perishes. Trying to rescue. Yeah. Gareth asked for it. He got it. He doesn't care about animal murders, so let's do this trotting on a leash. Besides its master, a black retriever died trying to rescue an old man who started across the railway tracks in front of an onrushing train. A passerby gave a warning shout and the dog raced forward. Caught the man's coat in his teeth and tried to pull him back. Both the man and the dog were crushed under the wheels.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, for sake.
Dave Hill
Oh, no. Let the guy go. Good Lord. Fuck that guy.
Gareth Reynolds
Seriously. Fuck that guy.
Dave Hill
1,000%.
Gareth Reynolds
That guy sucks. That guy. Look, I'm sorry that. That guy was probably trying to take his own life. He was pro, but dog killer.
Dave Hill
If a life.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, that's. I would be like, I'm not going out killing a dog, too. I would pretend to get saved or something. You don't let the dog do that.
Dave Anthony
When I die, I have my dogs buried with me, alive or dead.
Dave Hill
Don't do that.
Gareth Reynolds
Just a crazy way to end it.
Dave Anthony
Pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they won't. We can do another one here. How about this one? Dog waits patiently for his master.
Dave Hill
Oh, man. We're back.
Gareth Reynolds
What a good boy.
Dave Hill
Different.
Dave Anthony
Identified. Identified only as Bob. A name scratched on his collar. A mongrel dog of reddish brown color waited all night at the courthouse steps for the return of his master or mistress, who were evidently among the scores.
Gareth Reynolds
Of California marriage other owners.
Dave Anthony
Marriage license seekers who invaded the courthouse yesterday.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, wow.
Dave Hill
I love it.
Gareth Reynolds
It's better. I'm not gonna lie. I'm still upset about the dog who got hit by the train because.
Dave Hill
Yeah, I'm not. Not thrilled with that. But I do like the dog. The dog that's waiting outside with a bow tie. He's waiting for the people to get. We can only assume.
Dave Anthony
Yes. A bow tie.
Dave Hill
He had like a ring. He's got a ring on a.
Dave Anthony
That's right.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Dave Hill
Little pillow.
Dave Anthony
Yeah. In his paw. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Waiting for the couple to go to the parking Garage, if you know what I mean.
Dave Hill
Yeah.
Dave Anthony
And just blood. Blood dripping from his fang.
Gareth Reynolds
Different visions.
Dave Hill
Oh, man.
Gareth Reynolds
Different visions.
Dave Anthony
The dog was still on the steps early today and refused to enter the courthouse, although he never took his eyes off the door. County Clerk and Mrs. Beamer fed him this morning and provided a pan of water for him. They were hoping that his newly wedded owner will remember and return to the courthouse.
Gareth Reynolds
Jesus Christ. Another bad story. This is another dog story. You.
Dave Hill
Wait, what happened?
Gareth Reynolds
This guy abandoned his dog.
Dave Anthony
He forgot that his dog came, and then he brought his dog to the.
Gareth Reynolds
Guy, left his dog.
Dave Hill
God.
Gareth Reynolds
Christ. I like how Dave was like, here's a happy one.
Dave Anthony
Well, I'm sure it worked out.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, yeah, I'm sure it worked out. Oh, I. I actually missed the bottom of this. And the owner came back, and everyone's fine. There it is, man.
Dave Anthony
Fucking crybabies.
Gareth Reynolds
All right, you know what? Screw you. Well, Dave Hill, you are a clip machine for the Socials, and I don't even know what we're gonna do with all this.
Dave Hill
I do. Here's another. I mean, I. I was not expecting that one. That's another. That's good too.
Gareth Reynolds
