Starting point is 00:00:31 At the Odyssey Coffeehouse, Dave and I are going to do some of our favorite slam poems. Yeah. You know, we started out in the coffeehouse scene. Yeah. At the Hungry Eye in the 60s. Yeah. Where was that? In the village? That was in the village. It was a tumultuous time. Hungry Eye in the 60s. Yeah. Where was that? In the village? That was in the village. It was a tumultuous time.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Oh boy, the tumult. Yeah. Thanks for coming everybody to this wonderful venue opposite a Jugo Juice. To get in here we were given some bunko directions. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:09 And so we ended up walking through all of the weightlifting facilities in the downstairs by the loading bay, which was unattended. Yeah. And they saw me and they said, finally, our hero has arrived. They said, give him all hero has arrived, they said. Give him all the weights and just watch him do what he does. So I set a campus record. You're an honorary Trojan?
Starting point is 00:01:38 Your dad should have worn an honorary Trojan. Ouch. Ouch. I don't know, man. I don't know. What. I don't know. What a weird place to do a show. Who knew where this was? One, two people.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Two people. Two people. There was enough people who knew where it was to say, well, that's a weird place to do a show. Yeah, yeah. There was someone in the Facebook group. That was you And you said That's a weird place to do a show
Starting point is 00:02:08 And I believe we said Yeah well that's fine Yeah yeah yeah You know we have this agent And He doesn't really respect us We turned down the ranchman's gig And we said
Starting point is 00:02:27 We like this mural That has the No the Calgary Tower is hidden In this mural Not much of a tower Admittedly Not much of a tower What's your problem with the Calgary Tower Graham
Starting point is 00:02:44 Now just watch him go Yeah yeah yeah Not much of a tower. Admittedly, not much of a tower. What's your problem with the Calgary Tower, Graham? Now, just watch him go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't get me started on one of my patented rants. It doesn't tower over everything. Oh, right. If you're going to call it a tower, you should probably make sure that every other building... See, this tower, all these buildings,
Starting point is 00:03:01 hiding the tower. That's what I... Well, you guys are really not on board with this tower bashing. I thought for sure that I have the home court advantage. Dave. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:18 You arrived here today. Oh, boy. And tell me all about it. Okay. Well, first of all, thank you, everyone. I just want to thank everyone. Yeah. We're coming.
Starting point is 00:03:34 You're all, you're so punctual. The staff here can't believe how they kept saying over and over, we can't believe how punctual everybody was here at the time that the show was supposed to start. It's thrown them off balance. So thank you for coming. Thank you for being punctual. Well, the tickets said 6.30. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And so everyone was here at 6.30. Yeah. And we were like, well, we're not doing the show in daylight. Yeah, that's true. It is all windows in here. I'm fine with a 4pm show.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Once we start doing retirement homes. It's the dream. Done by 10am. Home in time for... What comes on at 11? Price is Right, I want to say? No, Price is Right is 10. 11 is like, what comes on after The View? The Chew?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Marilyn Dennis, The Social? You just can picture that meeting where they were like, how about The View, but for food? And then chomp. We'll call it the chomp. Chew. Well, it was a productive meeting.
Starting point is 00:04:52 You ever watch that? Chew? Yeah, I stopped watching. As soon as Mario Batali left, I said, I'm out. I'm out. Me Too's gone too far is what I said. You're going to take down Batali? He should have been the first guy, I think, of the Me Too's gone too far, is what I say. You're going to take down Batali?
Starting point is 00:05:06 He should have been the first guy, I think, of the Me Too movement. He looks like a creep, right? Like, there's no guy, there is no... I don't think there's anybody else in popular culture that's as drawn like a villain as Mario Batali. Who was the first guy in the Me Too movie? We'll go through all of them. Photographer in the front row, would you like us to get closer? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Sweet emotion. Paralysed. That's true. We were really putting him through his paces Well he was really trying Because you know what It's all about levels We create a vignette
Starting point is 00:05:55 We asked Make the audience as visible as possible At all times I want to be able to see Back to the ATM. And I can. I know exactly where it is. Oh, that guy's paying the $3 fee.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Okay, you started with Harvey Weinstein. Yeah. Who looks more like a villain? Mario Batali. More than Weinstein? All right, by applause. That's bad.
Starting point is 00:06:35 We're bad people for it. Yeah. Okay, guys. So welcome to the show. We're going to get going in a couple minutes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the pre-show. We're going to show a special special Fan only trailer for Venom
Starting point is 00:06:48 It looks so bad I haven't seen any of it But when I saw a poster for it I thought of a funny song for it Go on Something like a Venom I have a feeling that wouldn't be out of place in the movie from what it's got 20% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And I think people are being generous. I think people like Tom Hardy and they're saying he tried. He tried. He'll show his penis in a movie. Yeah. Yeah. Even when it's not in the script, he'll do it.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And he's like, leave it on the cutting room floor if you want, but I just, it's something I do as an artist. The doctor didn't leave it on the cutting room floor, if you know what I mean. Dave,
Starting point is 00:07:35 I don't know what you mean. Have you seen, what was the movie where he's the guy with the mustache and no hair? Bronson. Bronson. And my favorite anecdote
Starting point is 00:07:44 about that movie, Bronson. Bronson's insane. Well, about that movie, Bronson. Bronson's insane. Well, I'll go around and have our favorite anecdotes about the Tom Hardy movie, Bronson. But the guy that it's based on, Bronson, he's insane. He played Balky. He's been in prison.
Starting point is 00:07:58 He robbed a post office, and he's been in prison ever since because he's so violent that they just keep adding years to his sentence. And when he found out that Tom Hardy was playing him in the movie, he shaved his patented mustache and mailed it to Tom Hardy,
Starting point is 00:08:13 who then used it and wore it as the mustache in the movie. So that's my favorite. I have other Bronson stories that I love, but I would say that's my top number one. So this is the show. You guys listen to the show?
Starting point is 00:08:33 Is there anybody here that has never listened to the podcast? Yeah. You're with somebody who has. That's how it goes. And that's what a relationship is. Am I right? Yeah. You got in today. I got in today
Starting point is 00:08:49 into Calgary. Yeah. When you get in a cab at the airport, they screw you. They really, they're like, the meter starts at $7.70. But they show you a matinee movie in the cab, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, $7, not
Starting point is 00:09:05 too bad. And then you tell him where you're going and he takes out a book of an old-timey grid book of all the streets of the city and you're like, oh, the meter's running while you're reading this. But anyway, so
Starting point is 00:09:23 I'm staying here at the Sate Residences. Yes. Which I believe was booked as a prank. I said, they said, where does he want to stay? And I said, anywhere hilarious. Yeah. Do the words big men on campus mean want to stay? And I said, anywhere hilarious. Yeah. Do the words big men on campus
Starting point is 00:09:48 mean anything to you? So I got here this morning and they were like, they rolled out the red carpet and they were like, can you come back at 4 p.m.?
Starting point is 00:10:03 Oh yeah, but first of all, so I flew in You know it's very cold here and it snowed For the home listener God willing this is recorded Let me just double check on that Yeah, we are rolling
Starting point is 00:10:17 Cool stage setup And Uh oh Ooh, this mic cord is keeping me warm. It's October 4th. Yes. October 4th will be with you. Yeah, and also with you.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Thank you. Yeah. And, uh, big snowstorm this week. Mm-hmm. The city's paralyzed. Yeah, they had to get, uh, is this true, snow plows all the way from Edmonton? That's it. Rivalry over.
Starting point is 00:10:50 They helped you out. Next time you hear Edmonton, you have to have positive thoughts. They saved your ass. Now, if you save their ass, rivalry back on. But until that day, when you go up, what would happen? Would you put out the mall fire? Whatever. Whatever you do. Oh boy, sure.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah, but huge. Huge snowstorm. Huge, I hear. Yeah. It's not wintry enough when I land. The airplane, instead of the cool jazz that it plays after you're taxiing to the gate, it was playing,
Starting point is 00:11:28 Oh, come all ye faithful. Which is a bit Christmassy. A bit Christmassy for October 4th. Yeah. But, you know, what's the dividing line? Halloween? Halloween's the day, right? I don't think, I think of planes as being anti-Christmas.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Hmm. Interesting. Secular. They're a secular. There's very few Christmas movies that take place exclusively on a plane. Air Force One is one of them. That one with Jodie Foster where she loses her kid. Lousy parent,
Starting point is 00:12:05 I think it was called. It wasn't her fault. It was the airlines, I think, is the end of it. Do you know what movie I'm talking about? Did I just make up a movie? Nell, I think it was called.
Starting point is 00:12:21 You do a great Nell impression. Oop-a-day, stupid-a-day, stupid-a-day Thank you So I get in this crazy expensive taxi cab And then Show up at this campus And I say
Starting point is 00:12:34 Hey, what's up? I'm a first year You had a milk crate full of records. No, I immediately was like, yeah, take my bag and I'm getting out of here. Going to the cool neighborhood. You know, the belt loop or whatever. Yeah, the belt loop. Take me to the belt loop.
Starting point is 00:13:02 The guy opened up his book. God damn it. I went to this coffee shop in the Beltline. Woo! Woo! And they... Well, first of all, I saw on my Google Maps that there was a place called Decidedly Jazz. And I was like, I'm just going to check this out.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Decidedly Jazz Dance Center. Sure. I was going to take a funny picture of the sign. They've changed it to DJD because I guess too many people. Yeah, too many people out front blocking the entrance. What kind of dance do you do? It's not just jazz. Decidedly so.
Starting point is 00:13:49 And then I was like, okay, well, I got got some work to do i'll go to a coffee shop go do some work and you were like the odyssey no i was in the belt the belt buckle and so i uh i went and i sat down in this coffee shop and i realized it was like designed for you not to do any work there. Because the chair, the table I sat at was a lazy Susan. So you sit down, you put your computer on and you can just spin it around. You do my work. Yeah. Unless you're like negotiating a contract and you're like, do my work Yeah Unless you're like Negotiating a contract
Starting point is 00:14:27 And you're like I'm typing a number How does this look? So I came back here And I decided to do all my work In the student union building And it's cool Cause I I'm a cool Hip in the student union building. And it's cool because I'm a cool, hip,

Starting point is 00:15:28 I'm a real SAIT rat. Yeah. Go SAIT rats! I had to check in with campus security. So that you could hang out in the student union building? I figured I just might as well give my heads up. Yeah, yeah. No, but it was like, I went to a university and an institutional technology.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Yeah. Is that what the IT stands for? Institutional technology? Yeah. And so I really felt like I fit in. But it was such, it was so college-y when I got here. Yeah. Like literally, there were, I saw two separate people at separate times throwing paper airplanes.
Starting point is 00:16:16 They're probably engineering students. Yeah. Fun. It's probably for a prank. Did you do any pranks when you were in university? I did. What? We invented a prank war with our...
Starting point is 00:16:30 We also invented a rival. With our rival dorm at the University of Victoria. All right. Yeah. Did you live in the dorms? Oh, yeah. What dorm? Shirley Baker.

I lived in Margaret Newton as there was Craig Derrick and the other one. You're saying it to me like I don't know. Of course I know. I lived in Margaret Newton as part of Craig Derrick. And also in Craig Derrick.
Starting point is 00:17:11 For the home listener, this sucks. What brand did you call? And our rival was called Sir Arthur Curry. I hate him. I hate him so much. Yeah. Sir Arthur Curry. I hate him! I hate him so much!
Starting point is 00:17:25 And we, a guy in my dorms had this three-person slingshot and we would get little yogurt containers from the CAF and just launch them at their building. And then we decided to do a

Starting point is 00:18:00 Me and the other Tufts from the neighborhood Used to just beat up people. And then we'd be like, you got pranked. It's different. It's different. What's not sanctioned by a university? Anyway, so I was hanging out there.
Starting point is 00:18:16 But today is the student elections. Oh, I saw. Everybody was wearing shirts that say vote. Does anyone go here? Yeah. Did you guys anyone go here? Yeah. Did you guys remember to vote? Yeah. Fuck yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:50 Nice. Quality you could trust. Zane Bacari did that pose. Let's see, who else did it? Morstat did it. Morstat? That was his last name. I didn't catch his last name. Oh, I would love that if it was just a single name. He's got... Well, Morstat did it. Morstat? That was his last name. I didn't catch his first name.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Oh, I would love that if it was just a single name. He's got... Well, get ready for it. But first, Peronvir. Gil had that pose. And finally, Ben. Top of the ballot with that name. Ben!

Starting point is 00:19:33 Ben's got my vote. Yeah. Vote Ben. I'm stumping for Ben. 2018. Yeah. He wore a light blue shirt to his photo shoot, even though that might show sweat stains, and that shows confidence.
Starting point is 00:19:45 That's what I like about Ben. I'm going to name three other things I like about Ben. He wears glasses. He could wear contacts and pretend he doesn't need to wear glasses. He wears glasses. I think that's cool. He's a student here, I assume. What were you doing, five?
Starting point is 00:20:04 Did you decide on a number? Go do ten. What else? Ben, he's not afraid. He doesn't take no shit from no one. And finally, he knows the issues. He's got a good handle on the issues. And the last thing
Starting point is 00:20:22 is he's not going to take away your guns and I think that's important. Your campus guns. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. You were talking about The crazy taxi driver

I said, I'm not doing this with you. And then he goes, you ever heard? He goes, you ever heard of Travis Hicks? And I go, no. And he goes, well, check this out.
Starting point is 00:24:26 And he cranks the music as loud as it'll go. I can feel it. It was music. It was music. And it was a country singer. And he goes, what do you think of this? Plays a minute. And I go, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Doesn't really sound like country music. He goes, exactly. That's why I like it so much. He's going to play the big stadium this week and I got tickets. Here's another song. He puts on another song. Cranks it up. What do you think of that? I said, I don't
Starting point is 00:24:57 know. I don't like it. I'm going to look this guy up Travis Hicks I think I might like him Does anyone know the wifi password? Chirogens And then he plays One of his songs and I say

And he goes, me neither. And so I was like, what are we doing? Now we're just playing the game of can we find common ground over Travis Hicks? Anyways. Spotify's never heard of him either. Well, he's selling out the arena in St. Catharines. Hometown boy.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And this guy likes him because he kind of sounds like classic rock and that's what this cab driver's into. And so it was the long... It was to the point that I thought it was on a prank show. Like, I was like, this doesn't actually happen.
Starting point is 00:25:56 And it's not Tim Hicks, is it? Maybe. Who knows? Oh, Tim Hicks rules. Oh, yeah. Oh, boy. That guy.
Starting point is 00:26:03 He's a country guy who wears a cowboy hat, though. So it's like... I mean He's a country guy. He wears a cowboy hat, though. So it's like, I mean, not a cowboy hat, like a baseball hat. Oh, okay. So not a cowboy hat. So you wouldn't know him. You know, he's trunk tree? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Trunk tree, right? Yeah, country. Trunk tree trunk. He's not a tree trunk, man. He's a tree trunk. Rock and roller. And you know what? He's selling out that stadium. And guess who was the last guy to buy the ticket? That cab driver. Rock and roller. And you know what? He's selling out that stadium.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Guess who was the last guy to buy the ticket? That cab driver. He's so excited he's going to see the live show. And I was like, well, literally my parting sentence was I hope I hope it brings some joy into your
Starting point is 00:26:42 life. Yeah, I like that Tim Hicks. He's real good. I met him once. Yeah? Yeah. At the Canadian Country Music Awards? Yeah, that one year I had to cover the Canadian Country Music Awards.
Starting point is 00:26:56 I assumed as much, because where else would you and country superstar and St. Catharines... Tim or Travis Hicks. It was just Hicks stuck in my mind and the fact that he didn't segue like, well, you know
Starting point is 00:27:10 what comedian I like? Bill Hicks. Tim Hicks is a country musician I like. He just said we're talking about this guy now.
Starting point is 00:27:18 But like if you're going to make up a country music name, Hicks is pretty good. It's no Canyon. No, but if you're going to forget a first name of a country musician, Travis is a pretty good insert. So that was hideous.
Starting point is 00:27:34 But they don't have Uber in St. Catharines either. I've been having a lot of, I guess I would call them second class show business experiences like the other day we did a show in Vancouver and I got locked out of the theater which doesn't happen to your big stars
Starting point is 00:27:59 and then last week in Toronto a friend of mine did a show and was like come backstage and I just couldn't get backstage but when I was with when I was in Toronto after that show with my friend we took a lift back to the hotel and you know how
Starting point is 00:28:20 you're supposed to feel bad for lift drivers and Uber drivers because they're like the gig economy is exploiting them? Oh, yeah. Right. Okay. And that's why taxi drivers oppose Uber because they're like, it's just slave labor, I guess. I don't know why. I live in a city where they don't let us have Uber. But this Lyft driver was telling us his life story,
Starting point is 00:28:44 and it was like a story of triumph. It was like he's from India. He makes hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like he was driving like a Mercedes to get us back to our hotel. Okay. And then he was like, yeah, but
Starting point is 00:28:59 I want to upgrade to a Rolls Royce. Yeah. I would too. And then he was like, yeah, but I keep sending all this money back to India. My goal there is to start my own university. Dave, why haven't you started your own university? I'm doing an institution technology. Oh, okay. Okay, that's fair.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Wow, good for this guy. Yeah. So they're not all bad. Drivers, that is. I don't know where to go from there. I'm going to let you handle it. Perfect pour every time. Ooh, it's like from a commercial.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Dave Shumka, pro bartender. For the home listener. I poured a beer that's 7-8 foam. That's how they do it on Bar Rescue. You know what it was? I feel very... We asked for this table on stage. And then...
Starting point is 00:30:13 Oh, thanks. Yes! Yes! I'm having a beer port professional. What's your name, sir? I'm Aaron, by the way. Yeah. Oh, you're taking my badly port beer away.
Starting point is 00:30:34 That guy should host Canadian Bar Rescue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just came in and solved the problem like that. Remember when I said I was having a bunch of second-rate show business experiences? That was top flight. Yeah, yeah. The reason I poured it like that is I feel very exposed
Starting point is 00:30:52 on stage. Because I can see all the audience's faces. I feel like I can't put my microphone down for a second to tilt a beer glass. You can do whatever you like. I shouldn't be able to hear the audience either. We usually do it
Starting point is 00:31:10 behind soundproof glass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And bulletproof. We actually usually do this from prison. Yeah. Yeah, we take a popemobile to the gig and we go behind bulletproof glass. Yeah, and we do it through those prison phones.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I didn't do it, right guys? Yeah, I didn't do it. Does anyone bring a file and a cake? If you're going to bake anything into a cake for a prisoner... Can I put my microphone down to tie my shoe? Yes, you may. Make it a shiv, is what I was going to say. Make it a shiv or a small
Starting point is 00:31:49 baggie of some sort of drug so that they can trade for maybe a prison maid shiv. Has anyone here been in prison? Yeah. I hope to someday Yeah?
Starting point is 00:32:06 What for? I'm just trying to think of what's the coolest crime I guess pantsing the prime minister On live TV Yeah, yeah, yeah I bet he'd be wearing cool Star Wars underwear Oh, he's so cool. Oh, our prime minister is so cool.
Starting point is 00:32:28 You know he smokes dope. Do you ever watch Bar Rescue? No. God, I love that show. I felt like reality TV had lost its way and then Bar Rescue helped find it again. If you have never seen it, John Taffer is a world-renowned bartender. From the Beaver Brown Band.
Starting point is 00:32:51 He comes in and he yells at the staff, and it's the best because they're not a staff of good people. Like Gordon Ramsay goes into a restaurant where it's like a nice family is running a shitty restaurant, and it's like, just leave him alone, Gordon Ramsay, but he comes in there, yeah, your food's crap. But John Taffer goes to a place that's crap and the people are crap and then he yells at them and they yell back, it's
Starting point is 00:33:16 everything. And you know, it's like they're using a shoe to scoop ice or something. It's always some horrible thing. They shouldn't be doing that, he says. It's all things that even me as a bar not expert knows are wrong. You know, that the staff shouldn't be puking behind the bar. Sure.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Anyways, I love that show. Should we bring out our guest? Yeah, let's go for it. She is also funny. She's an institution here in Calgary. She's on the radio each and every day, CHFM, I believe, if I recall the call letters. She's super funny, and we're so glad that she's here with us tonight.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Please welcome to the stage, Laurie Gibbs, everybody. In the middle here. Get in the middle there. Hi. I know, we got in the middle there. Hi. I know, we gotta use the table. I'm just gonna use the chair for my purse. Yeah, that's fine. Stand.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Yeah. Oh, that's really weird. You're gonna be here for an hour. It's okay, little one. It's so weird. We can't see all their faces. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice people all.
Starting point is 00:34:44 They seem to be nice. Yeah, I wasn't afraid. And Bar Rescue. Yes! Yeah, right? Oh, John Taffer. The last one, he was just a sec. He was taking like women like taking like women patrons into the... What are you, the bartender?
Starting point is 00:34:59 Excuse me. And he would like take them in the back office, the manager, and then he'd be like, oh, maybe you should show me your bosom. But he didn't say bosom. Because nobody does. And John, just me, and John was in the car outside doing the stakeout scene. Are you watching this? Are you with me?
Starting point is 00:35:19 I need to watch Bar Rescue. It's so good. Nice to meet you. Hi. Hi. Just kidding. I know them, but nice to meet you. Hello.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Do you want to get to know us? Yes. Okay, I'm going to plug in my phone again. I need the plug. Thank you. There we go. Okay. One, two, three.
Starting point is 00:35:43 All right, let's see. Do you guys like Tim Hicks? I got some Tim Hicks on here. Do you have any Travis? Get to know us. Aw. I'll be back in about half an hour. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Lori, you're meowing up your drink. What is that? It's a blueberry meow? It's a blueberry lemonade. Absolutely. Yeah, it's my only flavor. I can't go anywhere else. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Okay, fair enough. I just wanted to come here and be cool because everyone's super young, and I was like, bring the meow. I wanted to come here and be cool because everyone's super young. And I was like, bring the Mio. Now, I've seen these in the store. And I remember when the ad campaign started.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yes. What is this? I've decided that it's not important, I know. But, like, it's just a flavor you put in things? Yeah. So it's like if I had a paprika in my pocket. It's just like that. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:01 And your paprika would just sort of spice up all of your plain rice. Okay. Yeah, except it's water. Yeah, there's guys who carry around their own hot sauce everywhere. Yeah, the cool guys. The coolest guys. Yeah. Because I don't know if they'll have Frank's where I'm going.
Starting point is 00:37:17 The guy who carries around Frank's. Well, how's that any worse than what he's carrying? No, it's just a great carry. It's like a guy who carries around Heinz ketchup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm cool. That's what we're saying.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Oh, sorry. I forgot this was about you. But see, anywhere you go, they won't have this. That's the thing. That's why I carry it everywhere I go. And it's really fun when you get super like tired wait staff because they bring you a vodka water or just a vodka i mean just a water in this case i didn't even mean that and damn it and and then they give it to you and it's clear and then
Starting point is 00:37:59 when they come back it's blue and you just watch their face and it's a really fun game. That's the most fun they had all night. Super hard with these Dasani bottles. What's in this other water bottle? This is also just water. Okay, cool. I really wanted to be hydrated here. I guess so. I like that it's shaped like an egg. It's one of my, next to
Starting point is 00:38:20 a pantyhose egg is now my new favorite egg shape. I was so scared you were going to stop at hose. You guys know what I'm talking about. It's just like pantyhose. It's not like pantyhose egg, though. You've never touched pantyhose. I have. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:35 They made us in sex ed. They made you touch pantyhose? Yes. They said if you can't get this far, then what good are you going to be on the day, they said. I said,
Starting point is 00:38:52 you're right, you're right. How many times in your love life have you run into a woman wearing full-on pantyhose? I prefer not to answer that question, but Dave, lots.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Can I come to your defense? Because I totally know what you're talking about. Yeah, right? They were called legs. Yes. And they came in a leg. L apostrophe E-G-G-S. And if you came from a good lower middle class family, is that a thing? I just made it up.
Starting point is 00:39:26 There's good in everyone. Thank you. Your mother and grandmother would teach you the beautiful ritual of making those legs, eggs into Christmas tree ornaments. This is exactly it. They became toys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:41 So do you still have Christmas tree ornaments? Because you're crafty. You're a crafty person. I'm crafty, but I know when to let go. It's Lego. Lego? Does Leg still exist? Do they still sell it in stores?
Starting point is 00:40:01 No, I don't think so. I mean, no, I don't think so. I mean, I don't. I'm not a weirdo. I mean, look, they sell them in some stores. If you ask, they got them. In the back. But, like, I don't see it.
Starting point is 00:40:19 They just, I guess I just don't run into a lot of pantyhose in my line of work. Because you're not a bank robber. Yeah, that's right. Could we do an informal survey? I am willing to bet that there are no women or men in here wearing pantyhose right now. I say zero. What do you say? Wait, don't even ask.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Oh, what's the over, yeah. Don't even ask. Don't even ask. What do you think? I'd say there's... Don't look at their... Don't look at their... Don't tell him with your eyes. Don't even ask. What do you think? I'd say there's... Don't look at their... Don't tell him with your eyes. I can't see anyone.
Starting point is 00:40:50 It's so... It's just a cloud of dark. Not 40 guys who look like me. If a murder was committed here tonight, everyone would be a suspect. I would say there's two people wearing pantyhose. Okay. Graham.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Do we count fishnets? I'm going to say, your bet is that there's zero. So, you say two. I'm going to say 15. I'm not even confident. Would the pantyhose wearers please stand up?
Starting point is 00:41:34 Put up your hand. Zero. Zero. Zero. Nice work, Laurie. Yeah, it's not a thing anymore. It's not. People don't wear them anymore?
Starting point is 00:41:46 They just don't wear them. There used to be hosiery sections at the bay. And people used to mend hosiery during the war. I went to a cool rock concert the other day. And there was a lady wearing torn up pantyhose. Now, was this rock concert Tim Hicks? Because he's country. He's actually country. Well he's wearing a baseball hat
Starting point is 00:42:10 so it might as well be baseball music. I went to see the organ player. Laura, you've had some trouble with your organs. What's going on? They don't call him King of Segways because he rides around on a Segway. That's right.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I love you even more. I have... Well, actually, my organs, they're pretty weird. You're right. You're right. You're right. I'm going to guess that you're going for the story about, I had weight loss surgery three years ago, and I lost 120 pounds.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Don't look for it. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't look for it. Don't look for it. It's gone. If you want it, it's gone. Is it like a placenta?
Starting point is 00:43:08 Do they bury it and plant a tree? Not yet. But if you're ever like walking across the common and you trip unexpectedly and you try to look cool, you're like, oh, it was Lori. Oh, that Lori. My shoes. My hose. They're all stuck in oh, it was Lori. Oh, that Lori. My shoes. My hose.
Starting point is 00:43:26 They're all stuck in the, that's terrible. Anyway, so I lost the weight. And then I was like, look at me. I lost the weight. I'm a good candidate. And they're like, how would you like to get rid of that saggy skin all over your abdomen? Did they say that? Did they say saggy?
Starting point is 00:43:41 That's how I would have marketed it. They were like, we think that you qualify for skin removal surgery. And I went, I think I'll be there as soon as you can call me. Yes. And I waited 17 months and then they called me. But who's counting? Oh, every day, every day. And then I woke up and I have a new torso.
Starting point is 00:43:59 And it's so weird. Does it look like when you're like, it doesn't look like your torso? It's so not my torso. I don't know whose it is. That would be a fun fantasy camp. Switch out a torso for a week. Not without my torso. The weirdest moment,
Starting point is 00:44:18 like I kind of thought, oh, he'll take off the extra skin. And I didn't really articulate this before. Oh, it's my favorite. I just keep thinking of Kentucky Fried Chicken I know, I know, and so we brought some for everybody Just whipping skin out to the audience You know it's the best part You get some skin, you get some skin
Starting point is 00:44:49 So I thought that they would just take off the loose skin, which I was happy to live with forever, right? I'm like, hey, skin, thanks for doing your job, right? Because when I was at my biggest, it didn't explode. And I think... You held it all in there. I put it to the test. I've had some big meals and I thought it, yeah. Yeah, you don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:13 So I just thought they're going to take off these little saggy bits and then away I go. It'll just be me with a little less sag. And then he was like, nope, 17-year-old torso. Bam, right there now and i'm like i can bounce quarters off of this pretty sure don't know anyway so so i have 36 inches of incisions it goes right down between the clowns and then that's what i told him on the or table start between the clowns don't get the shirt dirty and then from hip to hip like a big
Starting point is 00:45:46 there's like a big anchor cool yeah like Popeye yeah so I'm really nautical now nice but it's really weird
Starting point is 00:45:55 like not to have that the first time I was sitting in my hospital bed after the surgery like super oh just happy because I was high oh
Starting point is 00:46:03 what did they give you oh I got hydromorph, motherfucker. Oh, that's a nice high. This is like morphine and Hydromorph is like, I'm his big brother. Take me. And I gave him consent and he did. And boy.
Starting point is 00:46:25 So at one point I reached for my little cup of ice water. And I'm looking at. Did you put some Mio in there? I did. I totally did. You know regular water is not going to kill you. You know hospital water, nay nay. So I took it out.
Starting point is 00:46:38 And I took this and I was watching the TV. And I just went like this to rest it on my belly. And it was like, oh, Jesus. There's no, my table's gone like when you pick up a carton of milk that there's too much milk out of it I was like what I'm drinking my milk
Starting point is 00:46:55 now I'm just bruising my crotch every day putting my I'm not my crotch is fine they didn't touch the crotch nobody does anyway that's anyway so that's true. Anyway. Hey.
Starting point is 00:47:07 So that's how my organs are. You were telling us we were drinking. We got so drunk for the show, guys. We were back on campus. Exactly. We went in there. Everybody started chanting shots. And we were like, yes.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Then they took them out of my scars. It was so cool. Oh, what chanting shots. And we were like, yes! Then they took them out of my scars. It was so cool. Oh, what body shots. You want another anchor, little boy? Come here. Scar shots, scar shots, scar shots. You know. You were saying you can't have anything carbonated anymore.
Starting point is 00:47:40 That is true. For the rest of time. For the rest of time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. I love carbon. We're made of it, you know. Oh boy, we are based on it. I thought an educational joke would get more
Starting point is 00:47:52 of a reaction, but you did say none of you went here, right? These are all people who had trouble finding it and are glad that it started at 6.30 because it took them an extra half hour to get in here.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Yeah. Anything else you can't have to eat? Oh, carbonation. Would you actually miss carbonation, though? Who wouldn't miss that? You would miss carbonation? You're a bubbly guy? Look at how wide your eyes are.

But you love horror movies. I do. I do. Which is, that's a rare, because there's...
Starting point is 00:52:32 Because we're entering the spooky month. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is your time of year. It's my only month I can wear this shirt. I can wear this one 12th of the time. October is now. But if you were some dude, you'd wear it year round. Right?

Starting point is 00:53:08 Actually, I belong to Scary Movie Club, which is a very official organization of four middle-aged women. I'm one of them. And we went to see The Nun. Has anyone seen The Nun yet? Yeah. Is it so scary? It's really good.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Yeah. Guess who, in their middle age, dresses up like a nun with her three friends and goes to see the nun? That's what happens. You're showing the phone to the audience. They cannot see what you're doing. They can make it out and they trust me. And that's what's important. That's what's important.
Starting point is 00:53:42 And we went to the theater and people were like, I was like the paparazzi. They're like, we have pictures with you. And we're like, yeah. No, I was the only one. I also like that you think that the paparazzi gets pictures with the celebrities. Oh, it's Justin Bieber.
Starting point is 00:54:00 I did say Bieber by accident. It's Justin Bieber. I gotta get a picture with this guy. That would be so much more endearing if the paparazzi just wanted I did say Beaver by accident. It's Justin Bieber. I gotta get a picture with this guy. That would be so much more endearing if the paparazzi just wanted their picture taken. So they always are in pairs so the other one can take the picture. No selfies.
Starting point is 00:54:16 This is getting framed. What do the paparazzi do these days? Who are they after? I don't know, but TMZ seems to be the puppet master is the tmz tv show still on not only is the tv show on they also have like this weird cnn-esque thing where it's harvey levin and another guy just discussing issues of the day and that's it there's no cut to asking you know whoever it is Dougie Doug at the airport
Starting point is 00:54:46 what he thinks of Brett Kavanaugh it's a real loose show that show no but have you noticed the ticker on the side it's for people who have no attention span so if you're like Kavanaugh I don't even like those muffins right and then I don't know
Starting point is 00:55:04 and then you can look and go oh in, in 30 seconds, it's Kanye again. I'm in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It does. It has a countdown. It has a whole thing. Yeah. Which is a sad state of affairs, really.
Starting point is 00:55:14 TMZ's a sad state of affairs. Very much so. Harvey Levin was fine as the exit interviewer on the People's Court, which he still does. He still does that. Why does he still do that? Because a gig's a gig, Laurie. Oh, I know. Thank you for coming here tonight.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Bless your heart. I was watching, speaking of tickers, I was watching the local news in Vancouver, and they have now gone to a ticker format where they put the actual news in a very small corner and you just learn about oh the euro's up a cent today
Starting point is 00:55:50 but they had crawling across entertainment news Ramstein has released its first new album in 10 years followed by the next story Ramstein has released its first new album in 10 years.
Starting point is 00:56:06 It was the same Ramstein story twice. When it's that big, you have to run it twice. Because people will have dropped whatever they were drinking. Spit out the soup they were eating. Wait, if only I could rewind. I can't because it's 2018. So here we go. When I was on the plane, I watched a bit of Jurassic World.
Starting point is 00:56:31 And they had, which is my favorite thing they do in movies, where they have real newscasters doing, and we're deciding whether or not Isla Nublar should be blown up. And these are people who are professional journalists and they're like, hey, do you want to make a little money and pretend dinosaurs exist? But the ticker was all dinosaur-related stories and I was like, calm, who the fuck, right?
Starting point is 00:56:57 Even in a world where dinosaurs exist, there would still be Kanye, right? There would still be other stories. There would still be Kanye, right? It would still be other stories. It would still be Ramstein. Twice. What's your favorite horror movie? Ramstein song. I could not name a Ramstein song
Starting point is 00:57:20 and for that I feel really unprepared. But just so you know we didn't rehearse and there was no list of questions emailed what what's my favorite what horror movie oh I really was most damaged
Starting point is 00:57:35 by the exorcist because I saw it at the age of 13 because grandma had gone to bed early yeah and the best one recently I would say is the conjuring because I would say is The Conjuring because I got so scared that I cried I cried tears out of my eyes I love that
Starting point is 00:57:52 and I grabbed onto Scary Movie Club with the elbows and they were just like are you okay? Were none of them as affected? They were not as affected They wouldn't disagree with you? They thought it was great, too. It's just that all my emotions,
Starting point is 00:58:10 they all just ball up and then come out as tears. So if I'm super angry, I won't yell at you. I'll just look at you and cry. Did you grow up in a Conjuring? I did a little bit. That's why it's so sad. I was like, this movie's about my childhood. And then I was like, of course I'm crying now.
Starting point is 00:58:26 That's how I felt about the Mr. Rogers movie. That's what's really scary. What is The Conjuring about? I don't remember. But I remember how I felt. Right? Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:58:39 It's the one in the basement. You were nodding, right? Where the clapping right beside her head. Like, that's stuck with me forever. And that's horrible. Affected forever. Can you save me? Can you call?
Starting point is 00:58:54 Can you call for help right now? You accidentally conjured that. I am barely holding it together up here. No, it really got me. Yeah. Yeah. And then I was making a motion and my girlfriend leans over. She goes, are you crossing yourself?
Starting point is 00:59:11 And I said, no, I'm getting popcorn out of my cleavage. Totally true. Totally true. That's why I like horror movies. I like them, too too and I like getting like properly freaked out what's your favorite? that I've seen

Starting point is 00:59:57 Somebody said hereditary was really scary. Oh, hereditary. What did you guys think of hereditary? Yeah. Did you think maybe they could have cut like 20 minutes of it out, though, of just like close ups of the mom's freaked out face? Or the son who turned into Paimon, one of the eight demons of hell, obviously. And wow, I remember everything about that movie.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah. This did nothing to you. Wow. Yeah. Well, my son loved it. And like any excuse, when you, if you guys have adult kids or if you ever do, it doesn't matter what they ask you to do with them. It's like, yes, I'm in.

After we've shared our overheards, if you have a hilarious one, you can come up and share it with the rest of the crowd and we always like to start with the guests okay lori would you lead the charge yes i'm i'm not the greatest at these good good way to get the crowd ready okay uh so okay when i was in the hospital uh getting the uh kfc scar the anger scar shot scar shot when i in there.

Starting point is 01:03:57 Okay, I'll pretend I overheard it. Okay, so I would. I'm going to call campus security. I was in. They'll never find this place. We're sleeping over, guys. So before I got the skin surgery, my best friend, Michaela, came over the night before. And she goes, I think you should have before pictures.
Starting point is 01:04:24 And I said, hell yeah. Let's go to my room. So two two middle aged women went up to my room and I dropped Trout and I was just wearing my bra and I was trying to make my before picture look as before as I could you know what I mean it's not a flattering thing
Starting point is 01:04:39 and she said at one point could you could you could could you hold your whole belly with both your hands? And I was like, hells yeah, I can. So I grabbed onto it. And then she slid down the door laughing. And I said, what's so funny? She goes, my iPhone just recognized your belly as a face.
Starting point is 01:05:06 That's very good. And I can picture it and I love it. I overheard that. You really did. That was outstanding. Thank you. And I'm picturing the face, and it's so great. And it's so great.

Starting point is 01:05:54 yeah so I was having Coffee at this Lazy Susan Coffee shop Which by the way Very bad for coffee
Starting point is 01:06:12 As well as computers Like very spilly Yeah And It was very close To These two women Must have been from
Starting point is 01:06:22 The decidedly Jazz dance Area Because two of them Were describing These two women must have been from the decidedly jazz dance area because two of them were describing some kind of performance art. And it involved a hug that went on and on and on. So the participants and viewers of this performance art were going to hug each other for maybe over an hour. And so she was telling about all these portions of it. There were balloons that needed to be popped. You're in a big cocoon. And these
Starting point is 01:06:59 two women are talking across the table. And one of them said, the one describing the piece said, when you're in a hug for half an hour, it becomes more important. And the other one goes, wow. Like she had been going, uh-huh, uh-huh, throughout. And then that part made her go, wow. And you can also whisper to the other person in it, but they're wearing earplugs.
Starting point is 01:07:36 It was the, I do not understand what she was describing. And then they went on to talk about, like, you know, he's a completely different star sign than me. Because I'm a Taurus. Oh, you're a Taurus? I never would have thought you were a Taurus. Yeah, well, I'm so logical. And I'm like, well, if you fucking believe in this shit, you're not.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Anyway, it was a big deal. I spun my coffee around a few times and said, good night, ladies. Find me at the institutional technology. Graham, do you have an overheard? I do. But the horoscope thing made me think of a very funny man, no longer with us, Erwin Barker, had a great line when somebody was describing.
Starting point is 01:08:25 They were like, you know the weird thing about horoscopes is sometimes they're so exactly right and then sometimes they're way off. And Erwin Barker said,
Starting point is 01:08:33 yeah, it kind of makes you question the science behind the whole thing. My overheard was at a grocery store in St. Catharines that I went in to pick up food for later in the evening
Starting point is 01:08:47 because those towns shut down early. And I was... Does this town shut down early? Or can I go to Earl's after this? Yeah, we're going to go to Earl's. Okay, cool. It was a woman dictating a text message in her phone, and she was being very purposeful with every word.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Because Siri doesn't let you cut corners. Do we have any hot dogs? Send. Scent Do you have hot dogs in your house right now? I do not You've been a mother And then I denounced it Your children used to have to spend time with you Would you feed them hot dogs?
Starting point is 01:09:44 I don't generally buy them. Oh, I love feeding my kids hot dogs. When they were younger, for a special craft dinner, you could get wieners in it. That's about it, though. Not a big wiener family. Do you buy hot dogs all the time? Is it a regular breakfast?
Starting point is 01:10:02 No, that's what I'm thinking. I'm like, Margo and they'll both eat hot dogs because hot dogs are great. Yeah. No one questions them. But when you're too young to question them, hot dogs are great. Yeah. And I'm 37, still too young to question hot dogs. But I don't know how long there's, like once you open a package of them,
Starting point is 01:10:24 are they still good for months? No. They are good well into the next century. Yeah, right? When Calgary is offering to host the Olympics for a third time, those hot dogs will still... That was a local,

Starting point is 01:18:51 Thanks. They gave me three tickets. I found one on the floor. Plenty. Please, go ahead. Alright, so this is going back to your statement on how you dressed like a nun and went to the nun, And I'm exactly like you. I bring my G.I. Joes to G.I. Joe.
Starting point is 01:19:07 I bring my Jurassic Park toys to Jurassic Park. So we're at the movie theater because I'm a big movie guy and I love my wife. And we're local celebrities at the movie theater now. And here. Like three times a week we go. If there's nothing on, we stay at home and watch Netflix. But anyway, so we're in line and we're getting popcorn. And there's this group of black people for Black Panther, of course, right?
Starting point is 01:19:27 And they're dressed in church clothes and attire. They're done up. All the nines. They look like college basketball coaches from the States, like red suits, big hats, all ready to go. And I hear the one guy, and he goes to everybody. He goes, okay, okay, everyone, everyone, come close together. Come close, close. And on three, we all say Black Panther. One, okay, okay, everyone, everyone, come close together. Come close, close. And on three, we all say Black Panther. One, two, and they all yelled Black Panther in the Cineplex Odeon at Girlfoot. And we all turned to ourselves and was like, thank God we didn't do this for Blade because we'd all be leather jackets and knives and we'd never get to see this show.
Starting point is 01:19:59 And I just commend you for dressing like a nun because I would never be that guy. But these poor black people went out like it was the greatest thing on earth to have a black movie in. I just get those comments. So it's the same thing as me dressing as a nun. Exactly. Just on the other side of the fence.
