Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Lisa Curry’s Name Double and the Value of Promoting Comedy

• Lisa's Crossed Identity: Lisa talks about sharing her name with the Australian Olympian Lisa Curry, recounting a tongue-in-cheek email exchange with the swimmer’s PR (02:04).
  • Quote (Lisa): “I wrote the email, like, purposefully stupid. I was like, what's up? It's Lisa Curry. Would love to have Lisa Curry on my show...” (02:06)
• Running Joke: Dave is a “famous swimmer” in Australia—a riff on the rivalry and the absurdity of name confusion (03:12).

2. Guessing the Paper’s Year and the Setup

• The Guessing Game: Each guest tries to guess the year for the picked newspaper. Lisa wins, being closest to 1936 (04:09–04:24).
• Vibes Check: The team banters about the state of the world in 1936, drawing loose parallels to modern anxieties and rising extremism (05:12).

3. Feature Stories from 1936

a. The “Laughing Girl” Medical Mystery

• Headline: “Laughing Girl Baffles Doctors”
• Discussion: The trio jokes about an 18-year-old woman plagued by unstoppable laughter, riffing on vaudeville, medical cluelessness, and the assumption that jokes must come with a “hotness” factor (06:12–09:03).
  • Quote (Dave): “Pretty 18-year-old Teresa Hawkins, who has been laughing for the past week…” (06:11)
  • Lisa (deadpan): “Interesting, because they've lobotomized her.” (06:39)
• Meta Commentary: They highlight how stories from the era fixate on a woman’s looks and gloss over details like the actual show that triggered her fit (09:39).

b. “Dancing, Not Diet, Reduces Fat”

• Headline: All-women-should-dance-for-reduction advice
• Absurdity Noted: The gang roasts the column’s blend of sexism and moralizing (“No woman need fear the tyranny of fat...if she dances the pounds away” - 12:01).
  • Gareth: “That's such a 1930s problem and solve. You don't need to be fat. Women just dance.” (12:08)
• Historical Gender Critique: They lampoon prescriptive “woman’s place” guidance and point out that the paper can mention anything—except details of women’s bodies (13:16).
  • Lisa: “Was this before or after women reading became legalized?” (13:21)

c. Dance “Crises” and Outlawing Dancing

• Historical Parallels: They discuss real and fictional attempts to ban dancing, referencing “Footloose” as a shorthand for culture-wars resistance (16:07).
  • Lisa: “You know what? You wouldn't notice a lot from inside the camps, so.” (16:55)
• Running Gag: “Dance crisis”—the absurdity of policing how young people have fun (15:52–16:09).

d. Guns and the Call to ‘Revive Sidearms’

• Letter to the Editor: Advocates for broader gun carrying in self-defense.
• Modern Parallels: Gareth and Dave satirize the perennial (and failed) “good guy with a gun” argument, drawing lines to U.S. gun culture today (17:37–18:33).
  • Lisa: “It's taken us a couple hundred years to figure that out, but we got it.” (18:04)
• Irony: “We thought just we were buying [guns]. But turns out you guys also bought some.” (Dave, 18:27)

e. “Red Doctrine” in the Schools

• Culture Wars Continuity: Anxieties about communism in schools are shown to mirror current panics (trans, CRT, etc.), revealing the cyclical nature of moral outrage (20:12–26:28).
  • Dave: “It’s the same thing. It’s the trans stuff today...It’s the exact same thing.” (26:07)
• Skepticism of Evidence: The team skewers the vagueness of the charges—“no need for examples!” (26:59–27:11).
  • Lisa: “We need examples. What, what were they teaching?” (26:28)

f. “King George Escapes Harm in Second Crash”

• Royal Mishaps: Riffing on the king’s cartoonish car accidents, the crew lampoons the idea of royals driving themselves or being “of the people” (28:04–29:17).

g. “Two Brothers on Trial for Complex Crime”

• True Crime—1930s Edition: The disturbing case of a mother coaxing her sons to murder and kidnapping to blackmail lovers. The gang links the mother’s scheme to modern “girlboss” satire.
  • Lisa Curry (deadpan): “And so originated the word girlboss.” (30:47)
• Pointed Jokes: Gareth draws ridiculous parallels to Kardashians and reality TV notoriety (31:46–32:04).

h. "Girls Play Parts of Men at Gay Leap Year Affair"

• Gender Hijinks: Discussion of women playing male roles at a party, which devolves into a roast of 1930s gender norms, leap year parties, and aprons as symbolic “humiliation” (34:03–42:26).
  • Lisa Curry: “This does sound like the ritual humiliation of men. Which I'm fully on board with...” (35:12)
  • Gareth: “Men wearing aprons is a slippery slope into men cooking and then cleaning…” (40:22)

i. Icy Misadventures: Teenage ‘Polar Explorers’

• Depression-Era Poverty: Three Georgia teens hitching rides in refrigerator train cars to find work up north, and nearly freezing in the process. The comedians highlight their naiveté and the desperate logic of the unemployed (44:05–46:07).
  • Gareth: “So they were like, we'll go to the freezing car.” (48:30)
• Roasting the Plan: “We were cold in the rain, so we got in the igloo.” (Gareth, 50:06)

j. Eleanor Roosevelt’s Column—‘Ban Road Signs’

• First Lady’s Pet Peeve: Roosevelt’s mild complaint about advertising clutter becomes a window into political priorities past and present (52:44–54:16).
  • Lisa: “It's like this woman would have a aneurysm now.” (54:22)

k. LaGuardia's Plea for Public Welfare

• Classic Progressive Stance: LaGuardia calls lack of care for the jobless hypocrisy—greeted with applause, but also treated as naive by the present-day comedians (55:10–57:25).
  • Dave (reading): “Preservation of life is government’s most important function.” (57:15)
  • Gareth (mocking): “Wrong. This guy’s a dummy.” (57:19)

l. Summary Deportations & Nativism

• Deja Vu: Patriotic societies and lawmakers seek mass deportations, further compared to today's anti-immigrant politics (58:15–60:42).

Tone and Style

The conversation is loose, quick-witted, and biting—skewering both the absurdity of the past and its resonance in the present. Banter is punctuated with straight-faced one-liners (often from Lisa), faux outrage, and escalating jokes that shade into social commentary. While mocking 1930s social mores and “dumb guy” logic, the hosts cleverly expose the roots of many issues still debated today.

---

Conclusion

This episode offers classic Dollop mayhem: bizarre history, social critique, and relentless laughter. Lisa Curry shines as a guest, matching Dave and Gareth's rhythm. If you enjoy history, comedy, and the joy of skewering both past and present stupidity, you’ll get a lot from this tour through 1936’s news—where dance, gender, fear-mongering, and guns shape a world not so different from ours.

Neither is this week's guest, the great Lisa Curry. Thank you for joining us, Lisa.

[Lisa Curry]

Hi. Thanks for having me.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Welcome back, Lisa. You have a special. You're making a lot of money off it. Like you said before we started recording, where's the best place for people to go? Check it out.

[Dave Anthony]

Okay.

The Olympia. There's an Olympic gold medalist with my same name, and she took Lisa Curry on things. So I'm Olympian on all things.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Has she ever mentioned this to you? Has she ever been like, hey, no. Stolen valor?

[Lisa Curry]

No. And I had a show on Sirius XM for a while. Sorry, I don't know if you could hear. My dog has decided now's the time to drink water next to my head.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sounds like he's drinking peanut butter.

[Lisa Curry]

It's so loud. It is.

[Gareth Reynolds]

So what do you have a dinosaur?

[Lisa Curry]

German shepherd.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, Jesus Christ.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah, but when I had. When I had a show on Sirius xm, I reached out and invited her to be on the show and her PR person. And I, like, I wrote the email, like, purposefully stupid. I was like, what's up? It's Lisa Curry. Would love to have Lisa Curry on my show. And they were like, oh, we don't have much Sirius XM in Australia, so doesn't really help with her promo, but thanks. And I'm like, this what this is. I don't care. About her promo. What are you talking about?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Is she a human who has. Who gets comedy at all?

[Lisa Curry]

And she's also a white lady. So I'm like, this is a rivalry. I'm sorry, but it is.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And she's up the temperature of the rivalry with that attitude, with that PR attitude.

[Lisa Curry]

What I need to do is go to Australia and do shows. I'm really, really up by not doing that because she's Australian and a huge celebrity there.

[Gareth Reynolds]

So is she really?

[Dave Anthony]

She's a swimmer.

[Lisa Curry]

She's a swimmer, yeah, because she's like a. I think she's like a 12 time Olympic medalist, several of them being gold medals.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh, here we go. Seven. Seven gold, two silver, one bronze.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, you know who else is a huge celebrity in Australia? Dave.

[Lisa Curry]

Oh, is that right?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Also for swimming? Yeah, he's quite aquatic. Over there. Over there. Over there. He's considered a great swimmer.

[Dave Anthony]

Yep, that's right.

[Gareth Reynolds]

They swim differently there. Well, we'll get her for you. We'll bag her, we'll tag her, we'll

[Dave Anthony]

do the whole thing.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, don't worry. You don't need to even say it. We get it and we will take care of it.

[Lisa Curry]

Excellent. Thank you.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, at least you've done the show before. You know that. It's bizarre. And also, you should not funny. It's not working. There's nothing good coming from it except for maybe a squarespace ad. But will you guess what year you think this paper is from? Now you know it's gonna be old. That's all we have for you. Take your time.

[Lisa Curry]

[Dave Anthony]

I don't know.

[Lisa Curry]

I'm making interesting.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's good.

[Dave Anthony]

Do you want to make a dumb guess?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'll make a dumb guess. I'm gonna guess 1906.

[Dave Anthony]

You're wrong. It is 1936. Lisa win.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I don't get how this works.

[Dave Anthony]

She had the closer date.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay,

[Dave Anthony]

what is happening right now?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm not a fan of you.

[Dave Anthony]

Look, you have attitude number one. We have to keep it professional. If Kevin and Bean can keep it professional, so can we.

[Lisa Curry]

Sucks.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Kevin and Bean. Imagine doing that morning radio show. Be like, I can't stand this guy. But we've just got to hang in there a little longer.

[Dave Anthony]

But it's so funny that people would show up.

[Gareth Reynolds]

All right, let's go. Let's get back to the butt competition.

[Dave Anthony]

Show up. And they'd be like, wait, Bean's not here? No, he's doing it in a barn in Seattle because he hates me. Okay, It is Washington D.C. the Washington Daily News, March 4, 1936.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

Year of our Lord, Jtown.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Nope, nobody's.

[Dave Anthony]

This is a good Christian.

[Lisa Curry]

So, yeah, at this point, things are going really well overseas. So.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yes. Yep. People, we're starting to go like, what is he? It would be like someone looking at America right now been like, what are they? I don't love it very much.

[Dave Anthony]

So remember all those when you were younger and you'd be like, how did they just hand over the keys to Germany to Hitler?

[Gareth Reynolds]

It was crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

[Dave Anthony]

Like that. Yeah.

[Lisa Curry]

Now we should have stopped asking because somebody's answering now. That's. That's really what the problem is.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'll show you.

[Dave Anthony]

Laughing Girl baffles doctors who fear a relapse.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Who?

[Dave Anthony]

Laughing Girl.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Laughing Girl fears relapse Woman Happy scientist puzz.

[Dave Anthony]

I think that's. I think that's her nickname or what. The laughing name they gave her.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's her Instagram.

[Dave Anthony]

That's right, it's her Instagram. Unaware of the baffling problem she has presented to the medical world. Pretty 18. You gotta let. You gotta let people know that she's attractive, she's hot. If she wasn't attractive, why would I want to hear this story? Pretty 8 year old Teresa Hawkins, who has been laughing for the past week, looked about disinterestedly today at the Western State Hospital.

[Lisa Curry]

Interesting, because they've lobotomized her.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, that's right. They put something up her nose and they squirreled it around.

[Gareth Reynolds]

She's been real giggly and hot.

[Dave Anthony]

The violent paroxysms. Paroxysms, sure. Which had threatened her life were almost stopped. So she's maybe just kind of giggling now, huh, Doctor? I mean, laughing for seven days would be like. Your stomach would be so sore.

[Lisa Curry]

Yes. How high was she, is my question.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh, can I get some of that weed, Dr. J?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay. Finish the exam. We're all scaffold. It's been a living hell.

[Dave Anthony]

I wonder if she can even talk.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, I mean, a little. I really Just a nightmare.

[Dave Anthony]

Doctor J.E. offner reported her condition somewhat improved, but feared a relapse. That's great. When the doctor's like, she can start laughing at any time again.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, my God. He might laugh again, though.

[Dave Anthony]

No. Teresa, daughter of a Fairmont telegrapher and a student in a business college, was seized with the laughing helmet while in a show with two girlfriends a week ago. Oh, they're gonna blame stand up comedy, right? Lisa, have you ever set anybody off

[Gareth Reynolds]

into a hysterical nightmare?

[Lisa Curry]

Well, I don't allow laughing at all. Oh, that's Fair of any kind, for any duration. You know, that's sm.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. Rogan does that.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's true.

[Lisa Curry]

No, I love to be like that. Success model.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, that's good. That's a very, very applic. I mean, you could just keep doing that over and over again. I. If I see people laughing at my shows, it is. I know something's wrong. Yeah, like, get. Is he okay?

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, I get very angry. Yeah, you shut your mouth.

[Gareth Reynolds]

[Lisa Curry]

I want people to clap and nod in agreement. That's what I'm looking for.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I. There's nothing more fun than yelling, this is serious. While you're on stage. This is serious. What the. This is serious.

[Dave Anthony]

The laughing attacks in the theater were so violent, her friends were forced to assist her home. She was later removed to the John Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore, where officials were unable to relieve her from Baltimore. She was trying everything. How. How in the.

[Gareth Reynolds]

How much blood did they take?

[Dave Anthony]

Can you write this story and not say what the show is?

[Lisa Curry]

This is what I was just about to say. What do you. How are we not knowing every.

[Dave Anthony]

Even back then, they're like, what. What show?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, nobody else had it, though.

[Dave Anthony]

This is the greatest advert show ever. It broke. A woman.

[Lisa Curry]

Realized it was so funny.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, come to my show. It's so funny. It's dangerous.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Blue Man Group. It was Blue Man Group. They're blue with marshmallows and drums with paint on them.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh, Christ.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Stop.

[Dave Anthony]

Advises dancing, not diet for reducing. Reducing. Obviously, losing weight.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Reduction just feels like it's going to be pointed in the direction of a woman again.

[Lisa Curry]

Wait, wait. So was it. You weren't allowed to say.

[Dave Anthony]

Are you doing things with your hands near the mic?

[Lisa Curry]

Oh, yeah. I was fidgeting with something. Was that loud? Sorry.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Just blame it on the dog. The dog's eating sticks.

[Dave Anthony]

What were you gonna.

[Lisa Curry]

Wait, what was I gonna say? Oh, were that. Were you not allowed to say weight loss then? Was that like a big.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, no, we're looking for reduction. It'll be reduction. I don't know.

[Dave Anthony]

I mean, honestly.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Are you reducing. What have you been doing differently? You look reduced.

[Dave Anthony]

They said everything back then. They didn't give a. They were.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, they were. Yeah, like a big fat.

[Dave Anthony]

They were putting Chinese in the news.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You're less of a big fat tub of. What are you doing? What's your secret? You've been giggling.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah, well, they'll say anything at that time except for anything relating to a woman's body, and then it's icky. You can't.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, well, that's. That's about ownership. That's a whole different.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, that's the paper. The paper's always like, Sheila Milborn, huge knocker, is kind of weird ass. She found herself in a predicament the other day. Like, excuse me, her husband, Duke Reinhold. Here's his address. Oh, well, here you go.

[Dave Anthony]

Here's the first line. No woman need fear the tyranny of fact. Not if she dances the pounds away.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Jesus Christ. That is so. That is some remarkable.

[Dave Anthony]

The tyranny of fat.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No woman need be fat. Just dance. That is such a. That's such a 19, like, 30s problem and solve. You don't need to be fat. Women just dance.

[Lisa Curry]

The husband comes home and just starts shooting a gun at her feet.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Go reduce.

[Dave Anthony]

Says Mrs. Kurt Joss, wife of the ballet director who is presenting the Joss Ballet today at the National Theater.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I love Joss Ballet.

[Dave Anthony]

Among the accomplishments which every woman should possess is dancing. I do not mean ballroom dancing. I mean dancing. That not only implies exercise, but that demands an artistic form of expression as well. Quite aside from the pleasure in the dance itself, she will find that tiresome diets and violence reducing exercises are of no further use.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I love how the assumption is, no woman's picking up the paper. Hey, boys, should we have a private talk about the fat wife? Get her dancing.

[Lisa Curry]

Was this before or after women reading became legalized, though?

[Dave Anthony]

I don't think that we're there yet. Are we there yet?

[Gareth Reynolds]

They're allowed one audiobook a month. I think they stuck a Kindle into their room.

[Dave Anthony]

Well, we have to kill another woman.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, boy.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, this is.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wife doesn't want to dance. Why? Let me introduce you to amphetamines.

[Dave Anthony]

And these are the women who always get quoted in the papers. The ones. The ones who are, like, saying like this as opposed to women like, hey, yeah, I got it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What did she say?

[Dave Anthony]

She's the one with all this exercise.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, oh, oh, she's.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, okay. A ballet director's wife.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

Hey, fatties, jog around a bit to music. Although I am no longer an active member of the Joss Ballet, my work being more that of a critical observer, I never allow a day to pass without going through some routine dances. Well, yeah, she's like, I dance. You can dance. What's the big deal?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Everyday dance.

[Dave Anthony]

Madame Joss, a native of Estonia, was 17 when she joined the ballet. Pretty, dark haired with lovely eyes.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Jesus Christ.

[Dave Anthony]

The girl who had never.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm staring at her right now through a window.

[Dave Anthony]

The girl who had never before left a little Estonian village, now traveled miles away to dance in the company headed by a serious young man who was working out new ideas of the dance

[Gareth Reynolds]

nightmare couple goes public.

[Dave Anthony]

Very much so. At first, she rebelled against the driving force of his direction. But later she married him and is now his assistant with the battle.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You got to break a woman's dance, will. Like a horse.

[Dave Anthony]

Just like a horse.

[Gareth Reynolds]

She's going to fight. But eventually she'll dance all day and

[Dave Anthony]

she'll dance the way you want.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

Lisa, do you remember the first time a man broke you into the correct dancing?

[Lisa Curry]

I'm still waiting for that.

[Gareth Reynolds]

While I'm gone, dance the whole time. I'll be back at 5. Don't stop dancing. We have ways of figuring it out.

[Lisa Curry]

And not that people are dancing too, also. Is this just ballerinas? It's just hours of Tchaikovsky.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Just in the kitchen. All right.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Dave Anthony]

Well, this is when. I mean, this is when they're having dance dance competitions. No, no, there's like. It's a dance crisis.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Like a dance crisis.

[Dave Anthony]

Rag time making it illegal everywhere. And they're all flipping out. We're having a dance crisis. Like, it's like.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Dance crisis is so funny. They are all dancing. You know what that leads to? Witches.

[Dave Anthony]

Well, have you seen the movie Footloose?

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, I don't think I have. I'll be honest. I. I don't think I have. But I've heard the story. So anything where they're like a town where they're outlawing dance, I'm like, I can't do it. I'm sorry.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah, but it's like dancing hard.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Rebel dancing.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And again, I support everyone's right to see the movie. Personally, the log line, I just. Has never appealed to me. What if you couldn't dance in a town and you were young? Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

It's a real thing. It happens.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wouldn't bother me, though. I'd be. I wouldn't notice. I might live in an area where dancing is elite. I would not notice.

[Dave Anthony]

It was a. It was a time of great oppression for dancing.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm okay. Honestly. I'm okay with it. I'm fine with it.

[Lisa Curry]

You know what? You wouldn't notice a lot from inside the camps, so.

[Dave Anthony]

That's right.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, so what, we're doing dance ice now? Is that what we're doing? We're saying there's dance eyes. Excuse me.

[Dave Anthony]

In five years, there's gonna be a musical. Five years is gonna be an awesome musical about ice and how great they are.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Are you walking or because your kind of feet are sort of jitter bugging a little. So just keep it one step after sea as a piece.

[Dave Anthony]

Suggest citizens revive fashion of carrying arms.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wow.

[Dave Anthony]

I'm hoping this is actual arms and not guns.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I think it's guns.

[Dave Anthony]

This is. I think this is. Oh yeah. This is a letter to the editor. In view of the increasing number of hold ups, would it not be advisable to fall back on our constitutional rights and revive the fashion of carrying sidearms? By the way, funny, this doesn't work.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I not necessarily did it.

[Dave Anthony]

And I think the facts are in and the stats are here and they're not good.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's good.

[Dave Anthony]

It's not good.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Fight guns with guns. Yeah.

[Lisa Curry]

It's taken us a couple hundred years to figure that out, but we got it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And we're still.

[Lisa Curry]

We finally.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, and finally. And finally the Republicans are like, you know, guns might be a problem. Yeah. We've actually been talk. I don't know if you heard. We sort of screamed about it for a little while and you just said, keep buying more guns. And we did.

[Dave Anthony]

We didn't know you guys would get them though. That's the difference.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Very strange.

[Dave Anthony]

We thought just we were buying.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah.

[Dave Anthony]

But turns out you guys also bought some.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Interesting.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah, now that's a problem.

[Dave Anthony]

Now it's a problem.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Interesting. That clip of Trump that you sent me yesterday where he's like, you can't have guns at a protest.

[Dave Anthony]

I was like, jesus Christ, two A guys minds.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Just like, it's like, there's no meetings. Nobody like sits down. Is like, what should we do? And it's just everyone's like, all right, say whatever you want. See you tomorrow. Everyone just talking freely pitch.

[Lisa Curry]

It's like, it's that plus they just randomly choose, you know, one thing that one person says and they're like, we'll

[Gareth Reynolds]

go with that one.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah, we'll move forward with that.

[Gareth Reynolds]

So great now because they're like that. You shouldn't have said that. They were like two days just freely speaking. And then they're like, he didn't mean that. So Stephen Miller's like, we should probably look into this. This is crazy.

[Dave Anthony]

We're doing official takesy Backsy.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Oopsie. Poopsie.

[Dave Anthony]

As our forefathers demanded the right to bear arms for the protection of the individual and the weak. And as preparedness is well considered a

[Gareth Reynolds]

profession, I don't believe they did it for the week.

[Dave Anthony]

So the sight loaded gun will drive.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I don't think they were like, we've got to defend the week.

[Dave Anthony]

No, not at all.

[Lisa Curry]

We've got to get these Native Americans some guns.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Honestly. Well, that's. No, not that, though. Sorry.

[Dave Anthony]

That's not that. We got a little ahead of ourselves.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We'll get rid of them and then we move forward.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, well, that was from a night worker. That's who signed it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Night worker.

[Dave Anthony]

Hey, I'm a creep. School board challenged Red Doctrine charge.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, boy.

[Dave Anthony]

After my commies worried Red jenkies advised parental boycott to stop communist leak. Leaking communists.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yep.

[Dave Anthony]

They've kind of, at this point, wiped out a lot of the commies, though. Washington school board was pictured today at the second House subcommittee hearing on proposed repeal of the district Red Rider as an inefficient body appointed under a system that allows communistic propaganda to seep into public schools. I don't know what said. The charges made by a House member who refused to be questioned because of illness were quickly.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I know I'm sick. I can't. No, you're.

[Dave Anthony]

I'm gonna declare cold.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, I'm very ill. Shut the up. No. No.

[Dave Anthony]

I made the charges and now my tummy hurts.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No.

[Dave Anthony]

And they were offset by the statement of another House member whose daughter attended a Washington high school, that he doubted there was any advocacy of communism in classrooms here because he would know something about it in 24 hours. Look, if there's commies, he's got like

[Gareth Reynolds]

a little Ghostbusters reading thing.

[Dave Anthony]

I have an instant alert. There's a button near the desk and you press it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Some of them. I seem a little pro worker in here.

[Dave Anthony]

The pastimes is brought to you by Mint Mobile. Look, we both know that there are groups out there who just really love doing things the hard way. You got that guy who still wants to pay for the subscription they forgot they had or doesn't want to update their phone because it still works.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Got the guy. What about the guy who's doing the square tires?

[Dave Anthony]

Square tire guy? That guy's just crazy. So I used to.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Guy who's only drinking pond water.

[Dave Anthony]

I think we got enough of them. I gotta be honest. I think we.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, I'm just saying, I think to your point, there's a lot of people holding onto that. The double monocle guy?

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, I think probably not.

[Gareth Reynolds]

The blacksmith.

[Dave Anthony]

So there's the people who refuse to update their phone because it still works. That was me. I was that guy. And especially when it came to overpaying for wireless. And then now what am I on? Gareth? What's my phone company?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I Believe you're doing a Mint Mobile, my friend.

[Dave Anthony]

Doing Mint Mobile. It's a lot cheaper. It is just as good a service. There's no reason not to switch. Basically, it's same coverage, same speed without the huge price tag. You pay less for the same thing. Pre in the wireless you expect it's unlimited talk, text and data, but way less than the other guys charge. And for just a little bit of time, you can get 50% off 3, 6 or 12 month plans of unlimited premium wireless. Go 12 phone. Take your own number. That's it. So Gareth and I both do it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Love it. We've swapped numbers, we've swapped lives.

[Dave Anthony]

Ready to stop paying more than you have to. New customers can make the switch today and for a limited time, get unlimited premium wireless for just $15 a month. Switch [e-mail] dolop that's mintmobile.com dolop upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for a 12 month $15 a month equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only. Over 50 gigabytes. May slow when network is busy. Capable device required. Availability, speed and coverage varies. Additional terms apply. See mint mobile.com. They heard the pleas of local teachers associations and 100,000 union members of the Capitol for annulment of the ban on teaching of Soviet history in district schools. I mean, I love that they're history.

[Lisa Curry]

They're just flat out saying history.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, yeah. It's not helpful for our agenda, so we will avoid those facts.

[Dave Anthony]

Preservation.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We're like footloose with history.

[Dave Anthony]

We are like footloose.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah. Yes.

[Dave Anthony]

History is footloose.

[Gareth Reynolds]

History is what?

[Dave Anthony]

Footloose is history.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, that's for a guy who's never even seen it. I need to dance. What the is he doing on that car? Dancing. That's what. That's the movie, isn't it?

[Dave Anthony]

No, it's a little more complicated.

[Gareth Reynolds]

But you shouldn't be dancing. People are going to lose their minds. I have to. This is tyranny.

[Dave Anthony]

Right, Lisa?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Got it. Is that the plot is.

[Dave Anthony]

How many times have you seen Footloose

[Lisa Curry]

5. Ish.

[Dave Anthony]

Wow.

[Lisa Curry]

We should just tell Gareth. It's where twerking originated in the movie.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Now I get it now I guess.

[Dave Anthony]

Twerking.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Now I get Footloose two. Twerking. Footloose three. Macarena.

[Lisa Curry]

Oh, no, that should be. That should be.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Actually, that would make sense. That town. Jesus Christ. Get rid of it already.

[Dave Anthony]

Doubt it exists. I am opposed to the advocacy of communism in our schools. Reprint Maverick of Tennessee said, I doubt it's being done. I had a daughter in Washington High. I think I would know it about in 24 hours. Did you just say that? Yes. They're repeating it. This story. It is impossible to make any reference to communism. It is impossible to teach its errors in the time of war. You want to know all you can about the enemy. What's happening right now?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I don't know. It's like a grandpa melting down reference.

[Dave Anthony]

Re Representative Scott of California told how he came from a high school faculty to Congress. I was accused of teaching communism also. And I know what teachers are facing. Oh, so it's the right wing accu. It's the same thing. It's the trans stuff today, right? They're making all of our kids trans. It's the exact same thing.

[Lisa Curry]

They're cats, you know, just like the laughing gal with the movie. We need examples. What, what were they teaching?

[Gareth Reynolds]

They were looking at each other. One of them said that if they let. Trust me, they were unionizing these kids. You could tell they commies. A bunch of them. It's airborne. We need to shut the place down.

[Lisa Curry]

It's airborne.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's airborne. It's not good.

[Dave Anthony]

It doesn't say any examples. On and on.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You don't need examples. Examples hurts your argument if you're trying to like that's. That's the beauty. You want receipts?

[Dave Anthony]

King George escapes harm in second crash.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Thank God. That was close.

[Dave Anthony]

Who is King George?

[Gareth Reynolds]

King George? Well, I. At least I don't know if you want to jump in, but I don't mind King George. He was the jungle leader. And does that mean he was King George of the Jungle? Yeah, he was. Do you like history?

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, but.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay. Interesting.

[Dave Anthony]

I feel like that's a different George.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, is this George ii?

[Dave Anthony]

I think you're thinking of Curious George.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, no, no. Are you talking about George ii?

[Dave Anthony]

Sure.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, yeah. Lisa, do you want to. Yeah.

[Dave Anthony]

Google this come up.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, you don't need to do that. I'll tell you about it.

[Lisa Curry]

What did he crash? Do we also not get details on this? Because I'm gonna start tearing my hair out.

[Gareth Reynolds]

He's. Yeah, he's a boat crasher, right? Dave, tell Lisa me pretty drunk. I've had a couple I I podc a bunch.

[Dave Anthony]

Well, okay, so King George escaped injury today in his second motor crash here in three days.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, it's a motor.

[Dave Anthony]

Athens motor boat.

[Gareth Reynolds]

A boat. I did say boat.

[Dave Anthony]

Returning from.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Sir. I did say boat.

[Dave Anthony]

It's not a boat. It's It's a motor crash.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying it's very close. We're talking about vehicles.

[Dave Anthony]

It's like not close.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

There's not. There's nothing similar.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Maybe you compliment Lisa and I on doing pretty good and then the show will improve. Or you can be kind of like negative.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You know, a little positive reinforcement.

[Dave Anthony]

Negative as much as it's just the simple facts.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay, so he died in a boat. Go ahead.

[Dave Anthony]

Returning from a meeting.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Keep going.

[Dave Anthony]

Turning from a meeting of the chamber of deputies, the king driving his own car collided with a taxicab.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Imagine a king what's driving, hitting a cab. Jesus Christ. The king got into an accident.

[Lisa Curry]

It's a Toyota Tercel

[Gareth Reynolds]

just smashing into a cat. His crown just launched clutches out of the thing. Oh, your majesty, you fool. It all happened so quickly. Who's that man in that yellow automobile? There's a number of them.

[Dave Anthony]

Do

[Gareth Reynolds]

my scepters pierced my thigh.

[Dave Anthony]

Neither he nor the car was damaged. That's nice. Oh, on Friday. Oh, only Friday. King George, by a quick serve, avoided a head on collision with the street car.

[Gareth Reynolds]

So he's a terrible driver.

[Dave Anthony]

But I. I mean, this is definitely when they have all the rules in place. So he's. Yeah. Or maybe they didn't in Greece yet. I don't know.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Still, it's great. Whoo.

[Dave Anthony]

I do love a king driving himself around.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Hello.

[Dave Anthony]

That's a man king. That's a man of the people.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, yeah. But he's ignoring every, like, stop sign.

[Dave Anthony]

Is this. Is this Queen Elizabeth's dad?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Are you gonna look it up? Because if you are, then I don't. I.

[Lisa Curry]

She would have been. This is 36. So she would have been what, two or three then?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, she's two or three then.

[Dave Anthony]

No, her dad is George.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Well, Jesus Christ. Yo, me a coke.

[Dave Anthony]

He died of a coronary.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yep, from a car crash.

[Dave Anthony]

52. At 56.

[Gareth Reynolds]

He hit a Honda coronary. Yeah, he had a bunch of good stuff. He was doing real good. The royals do great. They're very.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, they're really good. They're very healthy. Two brothers on trial for complex crime. Two young brothers of the New Brunswick backwoods go to trial today for three murders and a kidnapping that police say their 40 year old mother ordered and supervised. Okay. This isn't a complex process.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I still don't understand it.

[Lisa Curry]

And. And so originated the word girl, boss.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Yep. So go kill four and kidnap another boy. All right, Mommy.

[Dave Anthony]

The crown charges that the series of crimes was Committed to obtain a baby that Ms. May ban.

[Lisa Curry]

Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

Plump and rosy cheeked housewife. Oh Christ, she's a plump one.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Jesus Christ.

[Dave Anthony]

Look at this one. Plump could use to blackmail men who had been intimate with her and her 13 year old daughter.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, proper. And what was the last part?

[Dave Anthony]

Intimate with her and her 13 year old daughter. Jesus Christ, she's. She's pimping out her daughter. That's cool. That was not in foot.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is third. What year is this? 1936.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. Jesus Christ. Well that's been going on since forever.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I know but

[Lisa Curry]

I mean the Kardashians have made a lot of money off of it so.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Good idea. And yet I did my sex tape did nothing for me. You know the difference? Other people.

[Lisa Curry]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I think that was a foresight.

[Lisa Curry]

I mean I'd be in a better place now.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yep. Yeah.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh, my kid's 16 and we're getting him into.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We're getting Dave's kid into porn real big. We've been trying to. We started him off light a lot of solo stuff but we've been getting into the hardcore stuff now. Yeah, now we're really showing him stuff. We're freaking him out. He is a scared little guy. But we're having a hell of a time we're manning up showing him how groans do it.

[Dave Anthony]

Ms. Bannister's. Ms. Banister persaded persuaded her sons Arthur, 19 and Daniel, 20 to kill Philip Lake, 30 and his wife Bertha abandoned their 20 month old son Jackie to freeze to death and to kidnap six month old Betty Lake. The crown charge. So they let. They let the 20 month old freeze, you know. Yeah. To death because they wanted the six months. So they did it as a prop.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. I mean this mother seems like she might be a little off. Has she danced?

[Dave Anthony]

She's not a great mom.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No. Now where's the prop baby?

[Dave Anthony]

The trial brought farmers and trappers from a radius of 100 miles to the squad little courtroom. Scarlet coated royal policeman guarded the hearing.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Why did it test so big? Farmers are loving this Canada. I guess this is big with farmers.

[Dave Anthony]

Well, this is just. This is New Brunswick. So this is just classic Canadian. This is what Canadians are like.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. They have this reputation as good people but a lot of it is this sort of.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, I would say 90.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Terrible.

[Dave Anthony]

Are selling their kids.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Agreed. I have a baby from Canada.

[Dave Anthony]

That's why we have to invade them.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Take it back.

[Dave Anthony]

Girls play parts of men at gay

[Gareth Reynolds]

leap year affair Lisa, thoughts, reactions? Go ahead, speak on behalf of the general.

[Lisa Curry]

You know what I was picturing something entirely different than what is going on.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You heard play parts. What did you think? Go ahead.

[Lisa Curry]

I thought like a severed.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yep.

[Lisa Curry]

A severed limb. As an instrument. Girls play parts of men. Is this. Women are still not allowed in theater. I guess as women. Because that's gross. It's good to let them break in in some way.

[Gareth Reynolds]

The better time.

[Dave Anthony]

I'm a big fan of girls play part.

[Lisa Curry]

Okay,

[Gareth Reynolds]

Keep reading.

[Dave Anthony]

All men guess. Forced to wear aprons and have female escort at bar at party given by.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is written by a caveman.

[Dave Anthony]

Auction classes.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's my table from ikea.

[Lisa Curry]

This does sound like the ritual humiliation of men. Which I'm. I'm fully on board somehow. They're in aprons. They're being escorted around.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, we've had a. We've been through too much already.

[Lisa Curry]

This was 1930s drag shows.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Honestly, putting them in aprons is so difficult. This is. I look. Look ridiculous. Look like I'm baking cookies. This is some bull. Is what.

[Dave Anthony]

This is diplomatic and official. Washington. Leaped galley. Leaped galley. At the leap year dance given by Mr. And Mrs. Hugh the Leap Year dance at their estate in McLean, Virginia. What the is leap galley?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Leap. Leaped galley.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Leaped.

[Dave Anthony]

Leaped galley. G, A, L, L, Y.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, galley.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh, wait. Maybe that is just smeared in gaily. Okay, well.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Leaped gaily. Much better. Leaped gaily. That's what. That's what I do. I do a leaped gaily, which is every four years on February 29th. I'm fully gay and all bets are off. I do what I like and then you're not gay the rest of the time. I'm not at all gay. And as a matter fact of of fact, I'm quite negative on the lifestyle, if I'll be honest with you.

[Lisa Curry]

But February 29th, this is the third dance themed story. So this is.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yes. Yeah, it's big.

[Lisa Curry]

There's a lot going on.

[Gareth Reynolds]

There's a lot of I want. No wonder Germany was kicking ass. We were like, dance wise. What's the strategy and plan

[Dave Anthony]

and everyone. It was something to talk about. And everyone is still talking, talking and will continue to talk for some time. Girls were supposed to dance with men, escort them to the bar and play the role of gallant cavaliers.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Now, Lisa, a lot of times we read in history that women were very negative about their role back then. Do you have any idea why? It just seems great. I agree. The Valium was low.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

More pills, more volume. So your job is to make me feel like a really great guy. And you can have a glass of Champagne. But don't look too happy because you'll get wrinkles.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh, that's really what it was. As each girl arrived, she was given a white collar and tie.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Here you are. Heel, lady.

[Dave Anthony]

Each man was given an apron.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Ridiculous.

[Dave Anthony]

Put this on. It's not gay. It's not a gay apron.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Ridiculous.

[Dave Anthony]

The ambassador of Belgium, Count Van der Stratten. Ponce.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, kid.

[Dave Anthony]

Okay.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What? And then the women will wear leashes and the boys will have on an apron. Do my bidding.

[Dave Anthony]

Fun.

[Gareth Reynolds]

My fetish is expensive.

[Dave Anthony]

Looked cute in a green apron.

[Gareth Reynolds]

He wore a green. Mine to be green.

[Dave Anthony]

So everyone knows Emil Herja, patronage man of Postmaster General Jim Farley. Tied a galley, a gaily flowered apron and his around his rotund waist.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What a party.

[Lisa Curry]

Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

It sounds really fun.

[Gareth Reynolds]

You heard of guys and dolls? What about collars and aprons?

[Lisa Curry]

They're like, we gotta call out the fat guy. We need people to be.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, yeah. That guy was like, the reviews are in. What did they think? Returned. Oh, come on.

[Dave Anthony]

Hey, what hours. I was the fatty in the apron.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm having trouble bringing the laces around to the front for a tie.

[Dave Anthony]

My skirt is too short. He complained.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What?

[Dave Anthony]

My skirt is too short.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, that's the best.

[Dave Anthony]

I hope. He was not wearing anything underneath.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm not.

[Dave Anthony]

He went guilt on the whole thing.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm not

[Dave Anthony]

the minister of Finland.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What event is this?

[Dave Anthony]

It is. It is a party. It's just a party. It's a diplomatic and official Washington people party.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

The Minister of Finland, Dr. Hyar, felt Dr. Hjarnfeld hoped the fashion of men wearing aprons would not last long.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is insulting.

[Dave Anthony]

He found it trying to stand at the bar sipping champagne while his attractive wife cut in on various males.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, well, well.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. Table is turned.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's the problem. Yeah, right. It's these aprons. That's why she doesn't love me.

[Dave Anthony]

Senator Alvin Barkley of Kentucky kept on a red.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Now, hold on a minute. A man is not supposed to wear an apron. This is a sin and it is disgusting.

[Lisa Curry]

You know men.

[Gareth Reynolds]

The women are also talking.

[Lisa Curry]

Men wearing aprons is a slippery slope into men cooking and then cleaning and doing other housework. So you got to really be careful.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. This is disgusting.

[Dave Anthony]

This is very dangerous.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Alan's baking.

[Dave Anthony]

Is that from when we did that apron show thing?

[Gareth Reynolds]

He hasn't been the same since.

[Dave Anthony]

The hell's he bacon?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Use a coaster. I don't want the table to get marked up. Jesus Christ. He used to be a man.

[Dave Anthony]

What the hell happened? He find. Okay, he kept on a red apron until late in the evening. And he finally removed it, declaring, I don't see how women stand wearing things like this. It's a nuisance.

[Gareth Reynolds]

He wore it for quite a while.

[Dave Anthony]

It's actually not.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is disgusting.

[Dave Anthony]

It's not a nuisance, though. It's just the apron is not.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's also like, I know women love wearing aprons.

[Lisa Curry]

How is he wearing it that he's presumably tangled up in it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Fishnet.

[Dave Anthony]

I can't move my arms.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I'm exhausted from trying to get out of this goddamn straight jacket.

[Dave Anthony]

How are we supposed to walk in this?

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is crazy. I used to be a man.

[Dave Anthony]

Dr. Joseph Nemesic, Counselor of the Czechoslovak legislation, slumped on a sofa. My apron is a pato model. But none of this is the worst

[Gareth Reynolds]

party I've ever heard of.

[Dave Anthony]

They put aprons on dudes and then

[Gareth Reynolds]

every guy's like, reacting like when you put socks on a dog. I can't. My penis is gone. I can't. I hate my wife. Help. I can't walk regular.

[Dave Anthony]

It's like I've been neutered.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I just opened a book and all the letters were melted. These aprons have taken everything that we behold as good.

[Lisa Curry]

It sounds like they had them tied around their necks, cutting off their ox.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Jesus Christ. Well, Rudy and I are a couple. I hope everybody's happy.

[Dave Anthony]

At that. Okay, it's a pato model, but none of the girls seem to like it. At that instance, three girls rushed up. His nickname is Nemo. Nemo. They cried almost in chorus. May I have this dance? Really?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Really.

[Dave Anthony]

Said Nemo, coughing with embarrassment. Girls, girls. Such popularity. Holy.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I mean, just the loser convention.

[Dave Anthony]

It's just.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And the Belgium guy was like, this is the dream.

[Dave Anthony]

Dudes rock. Ah. Wow.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Martial law's been declared down at the apron party.

[Dave Anthony]

Escaped icy death. You scared you'd laugh, brother, but you wouldn't feel altogether like laughing if you heard. By the way, this is.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What a weird start. You'd laugh, but you wouldn't feel like laughing.

[Dave Anthony]

This is written by a woman, Martha Strayer.

[Lisa Curry]

I think this also. This ties back into the theater story. If this has become. This has become quite the issue for people laughing against their will.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yes.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, you'd laugh, brother, but you wouldn't feel altogether laughing if you heard. Three young polar explorers tell the story of their adventures at 12th Precinct Police Station today.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, Jesus Christ.

[Dave Anthony]

What?

[Lisa Curry]

Why are they at the police station?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Arrest the glacier.

[Dave Anthony]

Well, I went to the. I went to the North Pole, but now I have to Go tell the cops what happened.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, we. We filed a police report against Snow.

[Dave Anthony]

The three arrived at Eckington freight yards in a refrigerator car. Oh, that's.

[Lisa Curry]

That's the Kohler origins of the problem.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yes.

[Dave Anthony]

If some trainman had discovered the car was unlocked and had put on the air pressure, they'd have been dead. Air pressure seals cars airtight. They are the Georgia Kids, three members of a four boy gang from Augusta, Georgia, who started north.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Where's the fourth? The fourth was like, I don't know. That looks kind of stupid. That's like a fridge, right?

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Well, get inside. What are they gonna do? Make it airtight. And you guys go ahead, find your loser.

[Dave Anthony]

It says airtight on the side, by the way.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, get inside.

[Dave Anthony]

So, lost companion, the fourth broke his ankle dropping into another iced car in Danville, Georgia. So we went home.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Doc's saying I might not be able to get into another ice car again.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh, my God. So he went home, said one of the surviving three.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wow.

[Dave Anthony]

Wow.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Great, great call.

[Dave Anthony]

Great story. It's warm in Georgia. But they knew they'd be cold coming north, so they all wore the clothes they had. I had on another pair of pants and a sweater and a leather jacket, said John William Seals, 19.

[Gareth Reynolds]

There's some cops just like, like. Why don't you guys tell me again what your plan is? Well, I put on two pairs of pants and I had an extra sweater. Write that down. That's going to be important later.

[Lisa Curry]

So what was. So they're a gang. What's the objective here, besides freezing your ass off?

[Gareth Reynolds]

We're trying to die.

[Dave Anthony]

I think it's just going somewhere. I think they're just topping a train.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I think that's all it is with a hypothermic boy.

[Dave Anthony]

Probably not a. Not a gay. They're just buddies.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Here we go. Idiots. Get in that refrigerator car.

[Dave Anthony]

I put on two more shirts and a jacket and a raincoat, said Walter Hancock.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Let me walk you through what happened. I had on five pairs of pants and six sweaters. Randy here had on nine jackets, two hats and eight socks.

[Dave Anthony]

And I wore four gloves.

[Lisa Curry]

I was wearing an apron. And that's where things really went.

[Gareth Reynolds]

We wore. I wore nine aprons. And then our friend broke his ankle. He couldn't come on this mission.

[Dave Anthony]

I had a heavy coat and another pair of pants, said Joe Kitchen, 17.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I was in a dinosaur costume. Is that okay?

[Dave Anthony]

Looking for work? Oh, they're looking for.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, we were trying to get hired. How does the market work?

[Dave Anthony]

They were bound for Washington and Baltimore seals said his father is a plumber in Baltimore, works on a construction job and he hoped the three might get some kind of helpers work on the same job.

[Gareth Reynolds]

That's why I wore four pairs of pants.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh, we thought we maybe could get us in a CCC camp here, said Joe. Detective Sergeant Author Finelli of the 12th Precinct called the sheriff at Augusta to see about sending the three back home.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wow. What are you calling about? We're trying to return you.

[Dave Anthony]

You guys are. Your kids are dipshits.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Do you need. Maybe we should put on some more clothes.

[Dave Anthony]

He told me their families have no money to send for them and the town's juvenile board is broke, says Finelli. I guess we'll have to get the money from some agency or for their fares back. So they're actually going to send them back. So that's nice.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Quite a journey.

[Dave Anthony]

Wanted cover at Danville. They lost their fourth Georgia kid. He dropped down on the canvas. They cover the ice with to keep it from melting. His ankle turned and it swelled up. So he got off the train and went back home.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, we heard that. We heard about that guy just repeating it. And that's the guy from earlier? Yeah, he couldn't make it.

[Dave Anthony]

They chose refrigerator cars for transportation. When they started out on a flat car and rain began falling, they wanted to get undercover.

[Gareth Reynolds]

So they were like we'll go to the freezing car.

[Dave Anthony]

It's better to be freezing than wet, right?

[Gareth Reynolds]

No. Yeah, exactly.

[Dave Anthony]

They chose refrigerator cars for transportation. Oops. They got a little something to eat by begging from house to house en route.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, those are the days. Could I have a sandwich? How are you? Yeah, I got a bunch of clothes on. Do you guys have any sandwiches? I have pasta.

[Dave Anthony]

No, can I get pizza?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Thank you.

[Dave Anthony]

Hancock started out with 18 cents. Kitchen with 2 cents and seals with 4 penny postcards. What? He has postcards.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And these are letters from a specific place.

[Dave Anthony]

I believe this is legal tender.

[Gareth Reynolds]

May I have a sandwich?

[Dave Anthony]

Arriving here they had respectively a nickel and 2 cents and a loaf of bread and a can of sandwich. Salmon. Ugh.

[Lisa Curry]

Plenty.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What should we do for dinner? Salmon on toast again.

[Dave Anthony]

So they kept warm in the below freezing temperatures by huddling close together. Most of the time they slept.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I still don't understand why they are in that car.

[Dave Anthony]

They are going to up north. Well, they got in the car because the rain. Their car was raining but they're going north to get a job. Problem.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Right. Why the refrigerator car is the question.

[Dave Anthony]

It's the one with the roof. Yeah, it's the roof one.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Right.

[Dave Anthony]

Look, they're not smart.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, we were cold in the rain, so we got in the igloo.

[Dave Anthony]

Okay, so back at the precinct. Oh, grown kitchen. You're sending us back home? Nothing to do back there, said Seals. The Georgia kids are chums, said Kitchen. How many other places have you been on freight cars? Finley asked. Oh, Texas and California and New York. I thought so, the detective commented. What, what's the, what's very strange? Literally, just. You're patting the paper, right? Hey, just get some more words out of those guys. When the refrigerator birth got undeniably cold. Oh, unendurably cold. The boys explained they'd drop off in some town and build a fire in some outskirts to warm up.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And then what? I, I, I don't, I don't care. But I'm also like, what is going on?

[Dave Anthony]

Then maybe we'd stay all night and catch another train the next morning. Yeah, you warm up, you get cold. You warm up, you get cold.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is the story of Coors Light.

[Lisa Curry]

You know, I feel like if you're stopping at people's houses for meals, you could also just hitchhike, right?

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, I'm sure that, yeah, you can hitchhike.

[Gareth Reynolds]

The first hitchhike was fun.

[Dave Anthony]

I bet. What are you doing?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I have my thumb out. Can I get in your vehicle?

[Dave Anthony]

We try to get in jail in Orange. We went in the police station and asked them to lock us up for the rest of the night. And even the cop told us to beat it.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What?

[Dave Anthony]

Get out of here. We. What is it? Is the middle of depression. So there's probably a lot of people like, what if I get arrested for a couple days? Can I eat?

[Gareth Reynolds]

I murdered a guy. Can we live here?

[Dave Anthony]

We even built a fire and he still wouldn't lock us up. Hancock, the youngest and smartest of the three, had a mishap in Spartansburg, Georgia. At the first stop, the boys had left their private car and were ready to hop another northern train. He was sound asleep, Seals explained. He grabbed for the car and it swung him in the air and he landed.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This is the smartest one rails. That's the smartest. I do like the paper being like the smartest one.

[Dave Anthony]

So we went on without him and waited for him in Danville. He caught up with us on the next train. I mean, I'm not sure. Jesus Christ. I'm not sure what just happened.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's an awful, awful, awfully boring tale of very little happening.

[Dave Anthony]

Ms. Eleanor Roosevelt's column. Oh, she wrote a column.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay.

[Dave Anthony]

What a Pit it is that we cannot free our roads from signs.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I mean, she. She was like the first. First lady that had causes, basically, Right?

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. Well, she kind of ran this.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. And she had a lot of good causes. But then one. This one is strange already. No more signs.

[Dave Anthony]

I hate signs. Stop signs. We reached tide part that was confusing.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Stop signs. Okay, where should we put it, ma'? Am?

[Dave Anthony]

We reached Hyde park last Friday afternoon and woke up Saturday morning to a gorgeous day. Nothing to do but catch up on bundles and bundles of mail and prepare for speeches. But work, when you have no interruption, can look out at the landscape and in and in at the home fire does not seem like work. We went up both morning and for good brisk walks in the snow, but found that we had to be prepared as we walked across the half fields to sink halfway up to our knees every so often. So far it's a great story.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What's the pitch?

[Dave Anthony]

We left Hyde park at 2 o' clock and spent the most thrilling afternoon. I had promised to give a trophy which my husband had presented to the Norway Ski Club.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I never tell anyway, yields are dumb.

[Dave Anthony]

I never felt more keenly than I did today. What a pit it is that we cannot free the borders of our roads from these perpetual signs. They really soil the landscape. And somehow it seems we should be ingenious enough to find a way to attract attention to our wares. Well, that's a particular type of advertising.

[Gareth Reynolds]

She's pop ups. She's basically like, road signs are getting a. No, it's pop ups.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah.

[Lisa Curry]

It's like this woman would have a aneurysm now.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Oh, my God.

[Lisa Curry]

I might be reincarnated from her, actually.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I honestly, every time I like, if you, like, are watching something on YouTube on your phone and then you accidentally touch anything, it's like, you do want silver polish. You're like, what the. You're interested. Huh? But I. I do think that is a good cause, though. She's like, it's getting annoying. All these goddamn ads on the side of every road.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah.

[Lisa Curry]

And there's probably one every six miles.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. She was. Look at it. America's gone to.

[Dave Anthony]

At least it's someone. It's someone who's close to the government is like, let's get rid of the bad stuff.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Dave Anthony]

Now.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Dave Anthony]

LaGuardia says us must care for nations jobless. Oh, my God.

[Lisa Curry]

What can you imagine?

[Dave Anthony]

LaGuardia?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Dave Anthony]

Socialist.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, I know. I imagine that'd be incredible.

[Dave Anthony]

Failure of government to care for the unemployed means that we as a nation have been Living in hypocrisy for 150 years.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Longer now.

[Dave Anthony]

Governor LaGuardia of New York told the town hall audience.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah, man, that is just refreshing to hear.

[Dave Anthony]

LaGuardia is greeted with thundering applause as he told of his efforts over two year period to rid the country's greatest city of corruption and inefficiency. Politics, the mayor said, have no place in American municipal government, which he called nothing but housekeeping on a large scale. LaGuardia was obviously nervous as he faced an audience containing many high government officials. I'm a little nervous, he said. In the beginning, I'm not used to such an intellectual audience. I served 14 years in Congress. Get it?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Congress people are stupid, dumb. That holds nice that the government's always just been the dumbest.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah, it's great. The fiery speaker related the story of his fight to reduce New York's electricity bill. Bill. He told of getting the promise of a loan from the PWA for a municipal plant. Then he said, armed with the promise of blueprints, he got the power company, cut the city bill from 12 million to 8 million. Literally would never happen today.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, as a matter of fact, it's the exact opposite. We're paying data centers.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. Would you like to have people pay more?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. That's just. That is how the they got that going is crazy.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. Everyone's just like, okay, yeah, we won't kill it. We won't kill anybody.

[Gareth Reynolds]

So these are for AI. Ruin the environment and it's yours. You're gonna buy that?

[Dave Anthony]

And they only last five years.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yeah. Five years.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. It's great. It's good.

[Lisa Curry]

It's perfect. Flawless system.

[Gareth Reynolds]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Dave Anthony]

Preservation of life is government's most important function.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wrong.

[Dave Anthony]

What?

[Gareth Reynolds]

Wrong is an idiot.

[Lisa Curry]

God. Hilarious.

[Gareth Reynolds]

This guy's a dummy.

[Dave Anthony]

It cannot. It cannot allow the bread lines and soup kitchens of the old order to come back. If we should refuse to take care of those who, through no fault of their own, are unable to take care of themselves, then we as a nation have been a failure.

[Gareth Reynolds]

What an absolute idiot. Now, honestly, with good reason.

[Dave Anthony]

Yes. Deportations await further action on Coolidge Care Bill. Officials confident Congress will act to save 2862 aliens faced with ouster. Immigration officials were confident today that the fight to prevent summary deportation of 206.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Summary?

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

How are you spelling it?

[Dave Anthony]

S, U, M, M A, R, Y.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Okay. Just want to make sure it wasn't like, you know, what's in this season? Getting rid of immigrants.

[Dave Anthony]

It's a summary Activity 22862 non violent aliens who would be saved by passage of the Coolidge car bill is not lost. Further hearings on the bill are planned this week. Though the actual deadline for the mass deportation was passed Saturday at midnight. The Labor Department will not rush deportation proceedings, anticipating possible passage of the Coolidge cur Measure is opposed by patriots.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yes.

[Dave Anthony]

Oh patriots. Patriotic societies have been the principal opponents of the bill. At the hearings they have rallied to the cry of depart the alien God good character and of any family ties which would in many cases be broken.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Joe Rogan shocked at policy.

[Lisa Curry]

Oh my God.

[Gareth Reynolds]

It's not what I voted for. It's not what I voted for. It's not what I voted for.

[Lisa Curry]

This is like when the US population was like 300,000 people.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I know.

[Lisa Curry]

Nobody living here let them.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Steven Miller's dream Body Heat

[Dave Anthony]

Getting people to. To hate IM immigrants. Seems like the easiest thing in the world. Just happens everywhere all the time.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Yep.

[Dave Anthony]

Among other patriotic societies represented at the hearing was the Loyal Legion. But former Attorney General Weston Allen of Massachusetts, testifying for the bill, said he was a member of the Loyal Legion. It's not a good. Loyal lesion is not a good name, let's say. Yeah. And ashamed to find that this organization was opposing a measure which would greatly expedite the deportation of alien criminals. Rep. Connery, chairman of the House Labor Committee and an advocate of the bill, listened to a number of representatives of patriotic societies and then told the committee that he was sick and tired of hearing about 100Americanism. The bill is endorsed by the American Bar Association.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Cool. That's awesome. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Wow.

[Dave Anthony]

Really great.

[Gareth Reynolds]

And cut to today.

[Dave Anthony]

And everything's not totally different.

[Gareth Reynolds]

When an ICE agent tried to run into an Ecuadorian embassy and arrest people.

[Dave Anthony]

Everything's different. We. We change all the time.

[Lisa Curry]

We just. We've been getting better and better with each success.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah.

[Gareth Reynolds]

There's just more of us now.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. We just.

[Lisa Curry]

There's fewer dance related crimes and scandals. So.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Can't help but think that the dancing's been on the decline and things have never been worse. So.

[Dave Anthony]

That's right.

[Gareth Reynolds]

I don't know. Well, Lisa, people can go watch your special where you're gonna be monetized today. And thank you for joining us. You're. We. We like you way better than the Olympian.

[Dave Anthony]

So. Yeah.

[Lisa Curry]

Yes. Women.

Go herself. Yeah.

[Lisa Curry]

She. She sucks. Thanks for having me guys.

[Gareth Reynolds]

Thank you, Lisa.

[Lisa Curry]

It's nice to learn a little something about what was going on in 1936.

[Dave Anthony]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Lisa Curry]

Pressing issues. That's nothing going on in Europe that we need to worry about.

[Dave Anthony]

So that's no, no, no.
