Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi, he's Dave Shumka, and he's Graham Clark, and together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Hello, everybody! Hello, everyone! Welcome! Thank you for coming out. It's Michael Jordan's birthday. Today is Michael Jordan's birthday. Thank you all for being here. For Michael Jordan's birthday, February 17th. He's 56 years young today.
Starting point is 00:00:44 His royal airness. It was Dave's fantastic idea. Let's, because Michael Jordan wears hilarious jeans. It's his thing. Yeah. Now that basketball's over, and baseball, the sun is set on baseball,
Starting point is 00:01:10 and he's, yeah, now he wears hilariously big or distressed jeans. So, I went and got one of each. And these, surprisingly, they feel great. Yeah yeah for the home listener i'm in the big
Starting point is 00:01:30 yeah and i'm in the distress that's our folk act is big and distressed yeah i can't believe i couldn't when i saw those at the store i was was shocked. I was shocked. But you weren't at Saks Fifth Avenue. I was, and these were the only pair that they had. They were behind glass, and I said, may I see them? And the
Starting point is 00:01:57 shopkeeper said, there's a curse associated with them. I said, that's fine. They came from Value Village. Yeah. Yeah. They're great. They're roomy, but they're great in the waist.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Mm-hmm. The length is good. Yeah. Like, I didn't have to ham them. Nope. They've got a big warning logo on the butt. There you go. Yeah. Because it says on the in the waistband
Starting point is 00:02:29 it says warning wide leg so does it really yeah yeah yeah warning wide leg what era do you think these what era are yours from like this i don't I just went for the most distressed genes that I could find. They are despondent. They are, exactly. They need help. They're in crisis. I don't know. I feel like I could just walk over to the Macs just next door to here and see a guy in these.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Like, I'm surprised when I went over that somebody wasn't like, hey. Great, gee, great distressing. Do you distress those yourself? Do you have some kind of Dremel? Yes, it is Michael Jordan's birthday. It's the reason for the season. It is.
Starting point is 00:03:24 What's your favorite Michael Jordan memory? Oh, boy. I liked... I liked Gatorade. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gatorade's a big one for me. Hanes.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Hanes was the big one for me. Oh, boy. Was he Hanes? He was Hanes. I wasn't sure if he was Hanes or Fruit of one for me. Oh, boy. Was he Haynes? He was Haynes. I wasn't sure if he was Haynes or Fruit of the Loom. Uh-huh. What? Fruit of the Loom.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Okay, yeah. Okay. I got it right. Jeez. Yikes. Strike one. Yeah. As they would say in his baseball career.
Starting point is 00:04:05 The crazy thing about Space Jam... Okay, here we go. Don't want to get off on a patented rant here. But so many things that shouldn't work came together to make a movie that really doesn't work. For instance? Well, at the time, it's not like people had Looney Tunes fever. It wasn't like
Starting point is 00:04:32 Looney Tunes were making the scene. They were on shirts. Yeah, that's true! They were wearing jeans like these with taz and bugs. They were looking tough. Yeah, looking tough. That's true. Maybe Tweety was wearing small glasses and scratching records.
Starting point is 00:04:52 But so that was weird that they would pick that. And then they would have a guy who never acted before in any capacity be the lead. Have to do heavy lifting acting against, like it's a thing that is very tough to act against things that are not there for an experienced actor. What do you mean? Oh, the Looney Tunes wouldn't work with Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Oh. So they had to be, their parts were filmed separately and then superimposed. Oh, I see. Why not? opposed oh i see why not why why wouldn't they work with him because of his gambling problem oh right right right looney tunes is a family organization except for those years in the 90s when they were very tough yeah um uh anyways we could talk Michael Jordan business all night
Starting point is 00:05:46 but Dave what's going on with you man oh well hello everyone this is Stop Podcasting Yourself thanks everyone for coming yeah thank you for coming how many people are here with their
Starting point is 00:06:04 partner that dragged them here? Yeah, there you are. Yeah. You don't have to applaud. We don't have to suffer in silence. This is the first show we've done since they saved the Rio. Oh, yeah! Yeah!

Starting point is 00:06:43 greedy landowner is trying to turn it into a parking lot. It's some dumb landlord that when the real estate wasn't so hot, when a guy was like, I'll sign a 100-year lease, and he was like, ha, ha, ha, ha, this plot's worth nothing. 100-year lease, you fool. And now they're sitting on diamonds. Have you ever been in that? No, scared of gorillas.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yeah. Yeah. I when I was first out of school I put in for a job there. And they were overqualified.
Starting point is 00:07:22 They were like do you own a gorilla suit? I said, no. They said, fine. One will be provided for you. I was putting in to be in the gorilla suit, I guess, was the job I was applying for. No, the first question was, would you
Starting point is 00:07:37 be opposed to random drug testing? And I said, yes. I guess because they sell knives. Sure. Yeah. And you did some pretty random drugs. Yeah. I was really going through my Hunter S. Thompson phase.

Starting point is 00:11:19 Perfect. We went to a talk at the Jewish Writers Festival. Okay. There was a book there. I don't know why I thought it was funny There was a book Just on display Called Jew A novel based on a true story
Starting point is 00:11:38 I believe it Yeah yeah yeah From the title I can believe it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. From the title, I can believe it. So what else is coming? Oh, boy. You were freaking out your love language. Does everybody here know their love language? Yeah?
Starting point is 00:12:01 What are you, person who said yeah? Acts of service. Acts of service. Acts of service. Acts of service and quality time are two of them. Okay. So like... Like, yeah, like, boy. Service dog.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Yeah. Or you and your partner raising the American flag on Iwo Jima. Oh, yeah! That's a good one. I mean, it's pretty good. You get photographed. That's a fun role play. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yeah, so not a heck of a lot going on with me. Got an instant pot. Oh, I, what? Not a lot going on with you. Way to bury the lead. Oh, yeah, you guys, I got an instant pot. Oh, have you heard about these things? You can really strut in those things.
Starting point is 00:13:02 You can really strut in those legs. They're really sailor man pants. They go up high, too. They are navel. They're up to my navel. And the thing about this thing, it's like a slow cooker slash pressure cooker. Okay. Is it a game changer?
Starting point is 00:13:40 No. What are you making in it? What am I making? I made a thing. I made a pork shoulder. Okay. A po-show. Sure. I don't know what they are.
Starting point is 00:13:55 It's, um, you have a crock pot. Mm-hmm. It's like, it's like a crock pot on steroids. Fuck. Whatever you need nine hours to cook, it does in one. Oh, really? I think. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:14:11 But if you don't know how it's going to taste, you put everything in, and then you just wait an hour, and then you can't taste it in the middle. Oh, because all the pressure will escape. Yeah, so you just have to be like I hope this is going to be a pork shoulder when I'm done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:34 It's like prayer. I guess it's kind of people talk a lot about faith these days and We're taking the podcast in a new direction. I guess when I put onions in, that's like putting a little bit of my heart.
Starting point is 00:14:57 When I put garlic in, that's my soul. What are beans? The magical fruit. Here's a weird thing that I've been to a couple movies lately, speaking of faith-based things. They're playing trailers for
Starting point is 00:15:19 Christian movies, which I've never seen that in a... I hang out at a very Satan-friendly theater. for like Christian movies, which I've never seen. I've never seen that in a, I go, I hang out at a very, uh, Satan friendly theater. Um, so I was shocked, but,
Starting point is 00:15:33 uh, usually you can tell that they're religious because you're like, I don't recognize anybody in this trailer before the prayer stuff starts happening. And then the prayer stuff. But recently I saw one. Toe for Grace? Toe for Grace.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Toe for Grace, making the rounds of the, he plays a minister, youth minister. Yeah, cool minister. Yeah, and it's a movie about a kid that gets trapped under some ice. He survives, of course, because otherwise it would be short. That would be a short that they would play
Starting point is 00:16:04 before other movies. He survives, of course, because otherwise it would be short. That would be a short that they would play before other movies. Yeah, before Frozen. That darn kid. We couldn't save him. We prayed and we prayed. Yeah. We couldn't save them.
Starting point is 00:16:24 We prayed and we prayed. Anyways, that's just a new thing. Well, at the end of those Christian movie trailers, there's an ad always for group ticket sales. Because they bring the whole gang. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how we, there's a lot of church groups here tonight. That's true. Who's here from the Lithuanian ministries?
Starting point is 00:16:50 Yeah, there you are. Where are my Lithu's at? Yeah, so we're going to keep trying with the Instant Pot. We're not going to give up on it. What's the, like, what's the dream thing to make in an Instant Pot? Stew. Yeah. Fucking stew.
Starting point is 00:17:10 It's been so long since I've had stew. Don't have the balls to order it in public. Don't have the time to make it at home. What? What? Do they have... Are there any stew restaurants? Well, they closed that one with the rat.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah. G-g-lung. There's no way. No way that was real. There's no way that a rat... That was like... That rat was the size of the Muppet rats. It was just shy of having
Starting point is 00:17:50 scuba goggles and a snorkel. It was so big. There's just no fucking way. For the home listener, just Google rat soup. But they had to close the restaurant because of it. Yeah. I mean, yeah. That's the fucking fast and loose restaurant biz, you know?
Starting point is 00:18:12 One rat in a stew. Yeah. That's it. But like, every restaurant has rats. Yeah! And imagine all the stew they served over the years rat free. What? That doesn't get in the press. How about some good news for a change?
Starting point is 00:18:30 Did you see the news story this week? Someone sledding and a rat ran past as they were sledding? Yeah. Was that here? That was in Victoria. But why is that on every news outlet? Just because I just like people think
Starting point is 00:18:45 when snow falls that it's winter wonderland and rats take a hike. But rats are still there. They're still around, man. They deserve the fun of sledding. Yeah. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:18:58 It's free. You don't need a lift pass. No. Did I ever tell you about the place that I saw in Seattle? I was, this was, I still smoked, so I was out in the back alley, and this restaurant was just closing. It was like a cartoon.
Starting point is 00:19:13 The person turned off the light, closed the door, and like that, rats came out of everywhere in the kitchen. It was, it was insane. Like, it was like they were just waiting, waiting, waiting, it's close party! It was disgusting. Yeah. But the thing about the Instant Pot is I'm just not,
Starting point is 00:19:37 I just, oh, I just wanna be, I just wanna fall in love with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just hasn't happened yet. Is there, are there like, you know, blogs of like, Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Instant pot blog. Do you read recipes online ever? Sometimes, but I don't like a lot of the sites that you have to go to because there's a story. There's a story.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I don't care. There's always, I've never read one of them, but I assume... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just go down to ingredients. That's smart. And then I look and I don't have that. I don't have that.
Starting point is 00:20:15 I don't have that. Maybe I should have read the story. Yeah. Maybe you would have told me where to get this stuff. Where do you get dill? You scrape it off of dill chips. What's going on with you? I was in our nation's capital, Ottawa.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Yeah, sure. Why not? If you're going to woo for one thing tonight, make it our nation's capital. Here's the thing that all of us here probably don't appreciate uh how fucking cold it is in the rest of the country um like it's hilariously cold everywhere else it is so cold uh that how cold is it sorry how cold is it? Sorry, how cold is it? Thank you. Thank you, Dave. No thanks to any of you. Something, something. Your mama.
Starting point is 00:21:14 But like, so I was shooting stuff for this hour. It was 22 minutes. Yeah, sure, why not? And I didn't wear gloves because I'm like, who wears gloves, right? Yeah, exactly. Fucking everybody in Ottawa does.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Frostbite across my knuckles, which is very dumb. That's dumb on me. And we were shooting a variety of things. Like, I went skating. I haven't been skating since I was a kid. So here's the thing. Your ankles, not ready to balance on a knife. Like, I was like a...
Starting point is 00:21:57 You know when they... Is it Bambi slides out on ice? It was very Bambi. It was very like... Ankles not working with the rest of my body. So I skated. I skate a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Do you? Yeah, I like to cut it up. Where? Yeah. Oh, on my backyard rink. Oh, you make a rink? Yeah. Do you have Freon or something to keep it? No, I just knocked over a fridge and have it open.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Kind of cooling it. Ah, cool. Yeah, yeah. Ah, you know, ingenuity is the mother of necessity, right? Yeah, that's right. I can't hear that phrase enough. Uh-huh. Ingenuity is the mother of necessity.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Yep. Yeah, so I went skating for the first time in however many years. Not good at it, that's what I realized. Not good at starting. Not good at gliding. Stopping. Watch out. What, when, were you ever good?
Starting point is 00:22:59 No. Okay. What made you think you might be? I don't know, time. Yeah. Have you ever taken 30 years off of something and gotten good at it in the meantime? Yeah, karate. Karate.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Those two lessons really percolated over time. Stopped a couple muggings. So I skated. i went down a sled thing i went on like a an inner tube oh fun yeah that was fun was it the most fun it was pretty fun except here's the thing that i always forget about inner tubes is they have a place where the air goes in they've got that nozzle really sticks in your side. If you don't plan out where you're sitting very carefully. So I've got a big mark up this side of my ass. So frostbite across the knuckles, mark on my ass.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Then we went to a guy who does grooming. He grooms trails for cross-country skiers. Okay. A guy who does grooming. Yeah. That's true. true hairstylist yeah and he was like
Starting point is 00:24:13 what does he use? a snowcat? yeah he uses a ski-doo and he said I can pull you behind it on cross country skis if you like and I was like I would like that very much. But he didn't tell me there was a part where it went downhill. And so then I would be going faster than the Ski-Doo.
Starting point is 00:24:36 So then I just launched full on into the back of the Ski-Doo. So we did that once. And then I was like, there's no more hills, right? And he's like, yeah, no problem. Right away there was another hill, and I fell into it again. So I got a big old bruise on my butt. Do you know what they would call it if Michael Jordan was there?
Starting point is 00:24:59 23 Ski-Doo. Ski-Doo. Anybody who didn't like that can leave. All right? This is the type of faith-based humor. Yeah. They say the dad joke is dead. But it's alive and well.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Oh, I came up with a new character. All right. This is the anti-vax dad who also tells dad jokes. Okay. Okay. A bunch of red spots. That's your reason to miss school? Pretty measly excuse.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yeah. Yeah. Pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty good. You got more? No, I got no more.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Yeah, so the rest of the country is really cold, and I hate it. So I was really glad to come back. And there was snow here, but it's fun. It's a fun amount of snow. How long were you gone? Because I didn't know you left. Oh, yeah. I left a note on your fridge.
Starting point is 00:26:16 I was knocked over in the backyard. Just a couple days. But enough to like what does frostbite on the knuckles look like anything no it's just red red and this wasn't diagnosed it was by the computer by webmd yeah yeah yeah okay um i mean what else could it be right yeah oh sure i mean i was petting some weird dogs but i don't think that i could have contracted anything for those weird dogs um uh yeah so you know the rest of the country's cold and it's pretty good to be here is what i'm saying it's nice you don't realize that the this sliver of the country is so nice until you go somewhere else. And then you're like, all right.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Like, if they didn't have power there, they would be dead. They would die. A power outage, they would die. Their water would freeze and the pipes explode, kill them all. I saw a news story about, and I see a news story like this every year, where someone tries to heat up the water in their pipes with a blowtorch and burns their house down. But it must work sometimes,
Starting point is 00:27:30 right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A broken clock is right twice a day. So like for the time that the water shoots out everywhere, it kind of has worked, right? Or the time that it's getting doused by the fire
Starting point is 00:27:46 department, they got water then. Crazy like a fox. Do you think we should bring out our first of our two fantastic guests? Yeah! Yeah! Ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:28:09 she is one of our all-time faves on the podcast, and it's just such a treat to have her here with us tonight. Please, a big, warm round of applause for Alicia Tobin, everybody! Thank you, everybody. I've never sat in these pants.

Starting point is 00:29:34 They're very ravey. This is a pretty cool outfit if it was 1995. I mean, I could have... I feel like I should be wearing a ringer t-shirt. Yeah. And like braids. Or cuffs. Cuffs.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Why haven't those come back? You love those. I did. Cuff, big cuff. They called me Cuff Daddy. I don't think so. No. Alicia, what's new with you?
Starting point is 00:30:08 Oh, geez. Well, I'm almost finished writing a book that's so sad. Like, I think that they thought it would be a funny book, and I sent off the first few essays, and they're like, this is so sad. I'm like, I don't know what you expected. Every book's kind of sad, though, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:26 You just feel bad you're not watching a movie. I still have my dog, Hank. He's the best. Oh, you're writing a book. That's interesting. But I want to hear about your dog. Yeah, he's the best. His name is Hank, and he's not from this planet.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I think I told you the story that when I went to pick him up from the breeder, yes, I bought a dog. You can crucify me, so I don't give a shit. Shop, don't adopt, bitches. That's a weird line to take, but all right. Anyways, he's a really special dog, and I love him so much. And today I gave him a waffle. How did he respond to that?
Starting point is 00:31:18 He shot on the rug. Everybody remembers their first waffle. Yeah. I don't know what I was thinking He's so cute But I've never fed him one before And I see that it did not agree with his tiny body Yeah
Starting point is 00:31:33 But he's the best I love my dog And you guys are good too Alright Now I don't want to get you off on a rant here Do you think he might be a gluten free dog? I thought about that. I was like, he's pretty much grain-free.
Starting point is 00:31:48 He's like kind of paleo. Because he's a dog. But he's always had like little bits of something. But today, I just gave him like... You gave him a whole waffle? Half of a whole waffle. An Eggo? No, like a homemade gluten-free waffle.
Starting point is 00:32:04 You're telling me Eggo's not gluten-free? No. Nothing nice homemade gluten-free waffle. You're telling me Eggo's not gluten-free? No. Nothing nice is gluten-free. Nothing nice. Do you have a waffle maker? Yes. Do you have one? No.
Starting point is 00:32:13 They're very dangerous. They get so hot. I just bought an Instant Pot yesterday. Oh, let's talk about it. I'm the only one here. God damn it. It's good for that go-go guy who needs meat falling off a bone. Yeah, I'm not sure I need it.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I read a bunch of recipes and I was like, no, this is not how I like to eat at all. And now I've got to take it back to Williams-Sonoma. I know. I was walking past and there was a 20% off sign. I was like, that's a good price. And then I looked it up afterwards and their 20% off is still more expensive than London Drugs' regular price. How does London Drugs do it? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Who loves London Drugs here? Man. Whoever didn't applaud can leave. Yeah, get... Where did you get your pictures developed? Or your weird baskets that they have on sale. Yeah. Some weird baskets. London Drugs sale. Yeah. Some weird baskets.
Starting point is 00:33:06 London Drugs is the best. It is the best. You can just wander around in there. This isn't sponsored content, but I think I want to get married in a London Drugs. I want to be buried in a London Drugs. I can't get my water open again. Well, you've had enough thanks buddy yeah so that's it
Starting point is 00:33:31 just writing a book hanging out with my dog what's it like to write a book? it's hard as hard as reading a book? that's a good point I wouldn't know it's weird
Starting point is 00:33:46 it's a book about myself turns out I hate me yeah I did not realize that I had been pushing that down and now it's in a book so people can hate me too there's some here I know I'm not 100% everybody's 100% favorite fan
Starting point is 00:34:03 what's that? this is Alicia Tobin after dark So there's some here I know I'm not 100% everybody's 100% favorite fan. What's that? This is Alicia Tobin after dark. You're not usually up this late. No, I go to bed at 9. It's not a joke. I had to have a coffee at 3 to do this. What else? I haven't taken any bad falls recently, so that's good.
Starting point is 00:34:24 I made it through this icy Hankville yesterday. What else? I haven't taken any bad falls recently, so that's good. Ah. Yeah. I mean, I made it through this icy... Hank fell yesterday. It was crazy. He went out like a little horse and he slid. Hank is who? He's my dog. So yeah, that's what I'm up to.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I like Lifesaver gummies. They gluten-free? Yeah, but they are chock-full of gelatin. Yeah. Is that horse hooves? Maybe. That's horse hooves, Greg. That's a load of horse hooves, if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:34:54 I think it is. Maybe. Or maybe it's from, it's not vegetarian. All my friends are vegetarians, so I don't have to share. That's weird, because Lifesavers uh there was very little direction that they could go product wise but they took the right one yeah like it's weird like that meeting must have been pretty wild when they were pitching other lifesaver like what if we just have just the things that would go in the hole what about about that? Just holes. Oops, just holes, we'll call it.
Starting point is 00:35:27 I feel like they had Jell-O flavors, too. I mean, when they came out with a storybook full of Lifesavers, that was a great way to move a whole thing of butterscotch Lifesavers that no one wanted. Those are the best. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:42 This is why your book is so sad, because that's your favorite lifesaver. Because it's not full of lifesavers. It's not just a lifesaver. That would be the best, if you handed in that as your first draft. This is what I'm thinking. It might be a little high on the pep-o-ment.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Oh, man. I wish I had thought of that. Much less crying. So, man. I wish I had thought of that. Much less crying. So, yeah. I'm a real sad sack. And I like to go to bed at 9. And somehow I got invited to do this number. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:18 What's your favorite thing about going to bed at 9? Oh, no one else is in bed but me. Yeah. It's your own time. I go to bed late and it feels gross. Oh, I No one else is in bed but me Yeah It's your own time I go to bed late and it feels gross Because I know everyone out there is in bed I don't have I wish that it's just
Starting point is 00:36:33 I'm so tired I get up at 5 Yeah So it's like the normal amount of sleep So you work at 9 to 5 Yeah What a way to make a living It is a way
Starting point is 00:36:43 You were just in Los Angeles. You went on a trip. I was. I was on a work trip. Los Angeles is interesting. I looked at so many boobs by accident. Oh, boy. Now I understand what it's like to be a creepy person.
Starting point is 00:36:57 As it turns out, I am one. There's a lot of boobs there. They're just hanging out. And that doesn't happen here. Everyone's always wearing turtlenecks. You don't know. Yeah, I never out. And that doesn't happen here. Everyone's always wearing turtlenecks. You don't know. Yeah, I never look at boobs. I mean, either. I look at necks whenever I get a chance because of all the turtlenecks here.
Starting point is 00:37:13 If somebody's wearing a crew neck, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Right? How about ding, dang, dong? Yeah, yeah. Check out the Adam's apple on her. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, L.A. is weird.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I always think when I'm on work trips that I could live in the city, but I realize it's because I'm in a beautiful hotel in the most expensive neighborhood. And then I go down the hill a bit, I'm like, oh, fuck no. No. Yeah. No. But it's a cool city. There's a lot of beautiful trees.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Yeah. It's the first thing I notice. There's so many beautiful trees. Yeah,'s a cool city. There's a lot of beautiful trees. Yeah. Like, it's the first thing I know is there's, like, so many beautiful trees. Yeah, there's nice trees. Palm. Yeah. Cactus. Lots of cactus and succulents. Not very much pine.
Starting point is 00:37:53 No, I didn't even see one. I'd miss it, you know, if I was away from pine too long. Yeah. I'd miss it. What would you sneeze at? Never mind. Let's each go around and say our top five trees. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:12 And then we'll invite everyone from the audience to do it as well. Yeah, that is nice. Christmas. Yeah, Christmas. Artificially. Giving. Giving tree. Oh, speaking of sad.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Yeah. That's a sad book. Monkey Puzzle Tree. Oh, Monkey Puzzle Tree is great. Yeah, it got a little bit of an applause. Just a tree with a lot of burls on it, you know? Oh, yeah. It looks like it's pregnant.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Yeah, or it's got a big butt. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What you hiding under that turtleneck tree? A tree that a bunch of 12-year-olds can take funny pictures with. That's the real giving tree. And maple. We said them all.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Could you ever live in a place, like a hot place like Los Angeles? I think probably. Really? Yeah. Where it's just hot all the time? If I was rich, I would live anywhere. Yeah, that's true. It's more important. If you were rich, where would you live?
Starting point is 00:39:23 Like, if you were rich, you can live anywhere. Where would you live? Ireland, probably. Ireland? Yeah. I'd live in the out of space. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Oh, boy. That is two sides of the same coin. That is the, like, if you were in Family Feud and you said Ireland or outer space for the question, we asked 100 people. You could live anywhere. If you were super rich, where would you live? Where would you live, Dave? I don't know. Space Ireland?
Starting point is 00:40:07 I want to go again. Okay, go again. Hang on. Okay, you know what? I'll do like I'm the host of Family Feud. Richard Karn. The definitive host. Who coincidentally, it's his birthday today, too.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Shut up! Is it? Wow. I don't think so, too. Remember? He does. Now, Alicia, the matriarch of the family. We asked a hundred people.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Yeah. If you were rich, you could live anywhere you wanted. Where would you live? I don't know. Good answer, good answer. I never thought about that. I thought about the rich part a lot. Guess I didn't buy you enough time.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Would you want to be in a movie where you're the richest person in town? Like you own the mill and you're the rich person in town? I think bad always happens to them. Oh, yeah, that's true. Usually they have it coming. Yeah. I would have so many Afghan hounds. Okay, now we're getting somewhere.
Starting point is 00:41:24 I just like walk through town, Afghan hounds. Okay, now we're getting somewhere. I just like walk through town, Afghan hounds. Yeah. That's Alicia. She owns the wig factory. You wish. You wish your best friend owned a wig factory. Oh, I do. He'd always be like, hi, I'm here again.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Any samples? Any wigs fall on the floor that you can't use? Any factory seconds? You love wigs fall on the floor that you can't use? Any factory seconds? You love wigs. I do. Have you talked a lot about your wig on this show? No. My one from Australia, my Australian wig. No, you haven't.
Starting point is 00:41:58 No. I wear it when I'm hosting quiz show. I bought it from a wig outlet in Australia that has sent me weekly messages ever since. Always with a full new catalog of wigs that I have not seen before. And they're so playful, the wigs. They're not like getting down to business. Some of them are, but they're mostly like really fun wigs.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Is it human hair? No, no no no yeah it's gelton adopt don't shop what do you mean a playful wig uh do you know just like something like that not something that you could wear and and have people think like a job interview yeah exactly okay unless you were going to like a crazy place like where they play with balls all day or something like that. You know, like a kid's center where kids can be a kid. Chuck E. Cheese is what I'm
Starting point is 00:42:54 talking about. Yeah, like TGI Fridays where you're encouraged to wear buttons, but also a fun wig. Yeah, a well-secured wig. We don't want a wig flying off into people's... A wig with a hairnet over top of it.
Starting point is 00:43:17 So this is what the show is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's hard not to ask them questions The audience? Yeah Ask them questions Okay, if you
Starting point is 00:43:29 You with the polka dots No, no, you can't single people out No? You have to ask them as a unit Okay, okay, I got a question Alright If you could live anywhere At the count of three One And you're rich anywhere, at the count of three,
Starting point is 00:43:45 one, and you're rich, one, two, three. Some assholes in Ireland. Ireland. It's not a terrible choice. No. Somebody said Barcelona.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Oh, nice. That seems like, that would be a nice place. Warm. People say Barcelona. Yeah. People say Barthelona. Yeah. Hosted an Olympics. Did they?
Starting point is 00:44:09 Yeah, you could go check out the old track, you know? See what that feels like. Oh, speaking of Olympics, I watched the last half of Eddie the Eagle. It's bad. Oh, why did you do that? I was on Graham's got that channel where they show the last half of movies You do
Starting point is 00:44:32 I wish that was It's not a bad idea It's not a bad idea Where it just You just sign up You say like what portion of every film You'd like to see And then it just is on randomly Or if it was like Netflix You just sign up and you say what portion of every film you'd like to see.
Starting point is 00:44:47 And then it just is on randomly. Or if it was like Netflix. You just sign up. They got a way better selection of half movies. Half movies. So you can say that you saw it. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Oh, is that the one that ends? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no spoilers. You have the other channel. Yeah, I have the beginning. I have start to finish. Oh, is that the one that ends? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no spoilers. You have the other channel. Yeah, I have the beginning. I have the beginning channel. Oh. But you have a channel that's movies that you just turn on and it's mid-movie, right?
Starting point is 00:45:16 Yeah, yeah. So you kind of have that channel. Yeah, and so I watched Eddie the Eagle. But there's no reason that that movie should exist. You know what I mean? Like, it's not... am I hitting a nerve here? It feels like the audience is going cold on me. Because it's not like the Jamaican bobsled story
Starting point is 00:45:35 where it's like, well, that was really wild that Jamaica had a bobsled team. That a guy from, a white guy was a ski jumper, that's not weird. They had big glasses. Yeah, that's true. And a mustache. guy was a ski jumper. That's not weird. They have big glasses. Yeah, that's true. And a mustache. Sounds like a real loser.
Starting point is 00:45:53 I don't think that at all. I don't know. I vaguely remember a preview. And I don't like sports. What's your favorite sport? My favorite sport is skiing. That's what I would watch in the Olympics. Downhill skiing, slalom.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Yeah. Fast skiing. Did you ski? Yeah, when I was a kid. Were you good? I was actually pretty good. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Do you think you could pick it up again? Because I thought I could pick up skating like that. Yeah. I would say I would I could pick up skating like that. Yeah. I would say I would be very cautious the first few times. It has been a while, and it's dangerous. Yeah. Yeah, like, you've got to be in shape. You can't, like, when people are like, I'm going skiing, I haven't skied in, like, ten years.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I'm like, and you're going to Whistler. Okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah, but they let anyone do it. I know. That doesn't mean that. Yeah, so I'd say skiing. They let kids who have they let anyone do it. I know. That doesn't mean that. Yeah, so I'd say skiing.
Starting point is 00:46:45 They let kids who have never skied do it. Well, that's better because they're more flexible. Their muscles and bodies are in better shape. That's true. Yeah. Kids. They're cute. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I love kids. Do you? I do. I don't have time for them myself. I'm an Afghan hound guy. Yeah, I don't want kids, but I think they're lovely. Oh, well, I got bad news. That stick you peed on backstage?
Starting point is 00:47:14 We all peed on one. Yeah, they just have them for the festival. All dressed chips, pregnancy tests. I'm just picturing them like a carrot platter, you know? Like there's just a bunch of them. Well, they're a festival sponsor.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Life brand. Life brand? I don't know a brand of pregnancy tests. Clearly. First alert. First responder. First in the first alert. First responder. First responder. JFL Northwest is sponsored by Life Brand.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Pregnancy tests. So specific. Oh no, they're not available at London Drugs. We're going to get in trouble with the fest. It's so specific. Oh, no. They're not available at London Drugs. We're going to get in trouble with the fest. Chopper's Drug Mart is very good, too. Saved it. Do we want to bring out our next guest?
Starting point is 00:48:20 Absolutely. Where should I move this? Over this way? Where should I move to? I don way? I don't care Come on Dave Our next guest coming to the stage Another one of our all time faves On the podcast You can see his television show
Starting point is 00:48:37 Corner Gas Animated On the Comedy Network Please welcome to the stage Mr. Brent Butt, everybody. Yeah. Hello, everybody. Thanks for joining us. My pleasure. I just thought we were on a bus ride somewhere
Starting point is 00:49:08 where are you from are you going all the way to the Red Deer that's the worst when you're traveling and the person beside you starts getting chitty chatty oh my lord right just i'm really into this book especially like on a plane because there's options for
Starting point is 00:49:33 entertainment like a bus all right i guess we're talking but like two minutes i've hit the wall yeah i'm like i know a minute and 40 seconds more about you than I want to. I have a question. Go. Not to be naive. What the hell is planned that we need towels in front of us? Yeah, what are these? I think they're so if you get mad, it doesn't make a big sound when you throw your microphone down. So you can make your dramatic point without damaging the gear.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Yeah. When you drop make your dramatic point without damaging the gear. Yeah. Yeah. When you drop the mic, inevitably. And that's Brett's calling card. Oh, butterfingers. I did eat about nine bags of chips backstage, so. There's also, there's an eyewash station at the back of the stage. It could get a little Louis Armstrong-y out here.
Starting point is 00:50:28 What's new? What's happening? I also just got back from... We were in LA at the same time. We were. We didn't cross paths or anything, but via Instagram I knew that you were also in LA. I did not know that you were in there, but you were eating at a place that I wanted
Starting point is 00:50:43 to eat at. It looked like you were having this really great Valentine's Day. Oh, that was just in our hotel. But that picture, we did that picture as a gag. It's by far and away, I think, the biggest response I've ever had on social media. I thought this would be funny. Valentine's Day is just Nancy and I, my wife Nancy and I, sitting up at the bar, each looking at our phones. And so we had the bartender took the picture and everything. And to put it up as a gag, is it viral? Do things go viral? Yeah, absolutely they do.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Is that the term? Oh boy. I can't stop. It went gangbusters. I'm from the gangbusters era. I'm from the gangbusters era. I love the 23 Skidoo joke, by the way. It busted me up. You know what?
Starting point is 00:51:34 Almost as much as I enjoyed how he says, Ski-doo. It's like a very... Like it's a skidoo. Like the way you said it, 23 Skidoo. Ski-doo. Ski-doo. I'm from the city. I know it from reading.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Not from hearing people talk. Yeah, don't make fun of him for learning his books. You read all those Jack London books about the skidoos. Yeah, about the skidoos. Poin Dexter over here. I've read a book or two. That's the sum total. We're dumb. I think my love language is
Starting point is 00:52:13 that my wife lets me think I'm kind of smart even though I've never read a book. You're still reading a book that the last time you told me you were reading a book, you were reading that book. I haven't told you I was reading a book. Yes, you have. Backstage, the girl on the train. No, no.
Starting point is 00:52:30 I just talked about it. I just, I was. It's a book he's heard referenced. Yeah. It's the last book I read. Which was a long time ago. Yeah, a long time ago. No, I've started books since then.
Starting point is 00:52:44 That would be good. Just a book with just a couple chapters in it. Thank you. It's like our channel. Yeah. It's the literary version of the TV thing. The TV channel, I thought backstage it would be called What'd I Miss? That's the name of it.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Tonight on What'd I Miss? It's just the last half of some movie. Tonight on What'd I Miss. And it's just the last half of some movie. It's like that monster truck commercial thing. We'll sell you the whole book, but you'll only need the four word. So, Brent.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Yes? What'd you do on Valentine's Oh we were talking about that Yeah so I just I literally got back I winged in from Tinseltown
Starting point is 00:53:32 Uh huh We like to say in show business I winged in from Tinseltown just today Home for a couple hours Petted the dog
Starting point is 00:53:39 and see you later I'm off to show business I had to come down here to do the show So I got in at like 4.30 today. Whoa. Thank you very much for joining us on the show.
Starting point is 00:53:48 It was a pleasure. The whole while I was away, I was just thinking about coming here and doing the show. Yeah. I was very excited. I've never done a live podcast before. How does it feel so far? It's going so much better than I would imagine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:02 The notion of doing a live podcast, to me, seems like, well, that would be a goddamn nightmare, wouldn't it? When I've been a guest on your show before, we have laughs, but there's no audience. That's what you think. I mean, there's ceases. I have a lot of those portraits with
Starting point is 00:54:27 eyes cut out. Shifty eyes. So I kind of think it's like three a-holes jerking around, you know, and who would enjoy that? And then to do it live, I thought, oh my god, what a recipe for disaster this is.
Starting point is 00:54:44 But you've done this a number of times. Yeah. So clearly it's worked in the past as well. Yeah, to varying degrees. The funny thing is when we'll do this show
Starting point is 00:54:55 sometimes the sound guy has never heard of the show or a podcast, doesn't know what a podcast is. Right on the cutting edge of what's going on. So he puts out the microphones and then he'll ask us, but while we're doing a podcast, doesn't know what a podcast is. Right on the cutting edge of what's going on. He puts out the microphones and then he'll ask us while we're doing soundcheck
Starting point is 00:55:10 like, what the fuck are you guys, what are you doing? Like, is this like a conference? What are you doing? A panel discussion. It's not as funny as a conference, but it's in that wheelhouse so when it goes sideways it really goes sideways yeah
Starting point is 00:55:36 do you go to Los Angeles often is this a two three times a year maybe that's often you're a regular? Two, three times a year maybe. That's often. You're a regular. Do you have favorite places down there? Yeah. I'm not going to tell you what they are. No, no. I don't want you to blow up your spot. The Hollywood sign.
Starting point is 00:55:54 The Brown Derby. We like to go to the Brown Derby. Take a turn on the dance floor with Greta Garbo. We have favorite restaurants we like to go to and things like that. So it's always, I go down and if there's any excuse to have any kind of meeting or do any kind of business, then I get excited because then it's like, oh, well, let's hang out for three or four days. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:22 So I'll go down on any whim, any sniff of interest from anybody about anything. I'll be like, well, why don't I hop on a plane and come down there? You'll have a 15-minute meeting and then just go enjoy California. We're thinking of doing a corner gas all puppet version. Listen, don't tell me about it on the phone. I'm just going to be down there. I just want to acknowledge that that's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:56:50 A puppet. Puppet corner gas? Oh, good. Puppet anything. Because we haven't taken that around the block enough. Corner gas. We haven't. Nope.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Puppets. They keep coming and saying, hey, do you want to do more stuff? I'm like, yeah. Sure, I'll do it. I wouldn't mind a gig. It's Canadian show business, right? Yeah. You tell me I was being
Starting point is 00:57:21 teethoed by a ski-doo. No. You're telling me I was being teethoed by a ski-doo. That's like the ultimate. That's like if you were making a mockumentary about Canadian show business. Just putting those two words together seems like it's a mockumentary. Canadian show business. It's like English ski jumper.
Starting point is 00:57:52 They should make a movie about Canadian show business. Just show me the last half of that damn thing. What's the last movie that you only caught the half of it? Well, I don't know what it was called. I'm going to have to describe it to you. But it seemed like this fellow was part spider or some damn thing. You ever seen one of these crazy set of pajamas on this guy. No, I don't go, I don't,
Starting point is 00:58:32 there's only a couple movies that if I stumble across it, I'll be like, hold the phone, this is the rest of my hour and a half, right? Well, what are those movies? Miller's Crossing. Nice. Every time. Just because I love the dialogue.
Starting point is 00:58:43 He's giving me the high hat. And they give me the high hat. And they give me the high hat. Tommy, wake up. I am awake. Your eyes are closed. Who are you going to believe? There's so many great lines in that movie.
Starting point is 00:58:56 So I'll always do that. Double Indemnity is another one. Nice. If you've seen a movie enough times, it's easy. You just pick up where it's... HR Puffin stuff. Really? No. I was just trying to think of a funny third one.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Double Indemnity. Is that black and white? Yeah. Pass. Dave, have you ever seen a black and white movie? Yeah. Which one? That's why he doesn't read books.
Starting point is 00:59:23 They're black and white. Yeah, exactly. If you could put color words on the page. No, I've seen some black and white movies. I saw Citizen Kane. There you go. Yeah, that counts. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Double indemnity kicks the ass off Citizen Kane. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Why'd they settle it, too? Why not triple? It's an insurance thing. Oh. It's complicated.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Oh, it does sound pretty exciting. It's the thrilling in and out world of insurance. Wait a minute. Plus, Edward G. Robinson. Oh, boy. So it's easy on the eyes, too. Sit back. Do you have a movie like that, Alicia?
Starting point is 01:00:13 Where if it comes on, you have to watch the whole thing? Law and Order. Why haven't they done a Law and Order movie? Is it just because nobody would go because it's a bad idea? Ironically, it's for legal reasons. They can't do it. I think maybe The Notebook.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Really? I don't know why. And also anything from the Twilight series. The Twilight series makes me laugh so hard. And if it's on, I just watch it. It makes me very happy. It's so terrible. I've never seen the Twilight movies.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Is this a fairly accurate analysis of it? It's like Romeo and Juliet. Okay. Except werewolves and vampires. Not bad. Is that kind of the nuts and bolts of the piece? Except Juliet is neither. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:10 No, she turns into a vampire. Yeah, but through... Yeah. That is a pretty major spoiler if you haven't seen the... It doesn't make it better or worse. That's the thing I tell you. It's always bad. It doesn't make it better or worse.
Starting point is 01:01:23 That's the thing I tell you. It's always bad. The scene where they play baseball is one of the funniest scenes ever committed to Cellulite. Like, it is... Because the thing... Oh, my God. Now I got to see this. Yeah, it's so funny.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Because in the movie, they hit the ball so hard that it sounds like thunder. So whenever there's a thunderstorm, they go out and play baseball. So they can disguise it? They can disguise the sound of them playing baseball. And they either went to such extremes, like nobody on this set is allowed to watch
Starting point is 01:01:56 anything baseball related. You're not allowed to know what baseball looks like. You can't, like the woman pitching does this weird ballet step before she throws. You can tell that the actress is very confident that this is what baseball looks like.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Nailed it. She screams every pitch. Nailed it. Stop saying that. That's a good one, though. Yeah, it's something that just makes me so happy. Now, does that have anything to do with the Underworld franchise? These are two different franchises, right?
Starting point is 01:02:33 Yes. But, man, you cannot go to the werewolf vampire bank too often, right? An insatiable appetite for the... I think it's been satiated. It's been about 10 years. No, I mean the people line up around the block for it. You come out with a... It's like
Starting point is 01:02:51 all you have to do when you pitch this is end it with, but with a new twist and the checkbook comes out. Whomp! Absolutely. Is that why you were just in L.A.? I was just in L.A. I can't say too much But
Starting point is 01:03:07 She becomes a vampire Corner gas with fangs Corner gas after dark Wowee What's Hank gonna do? He's gonna bite the wrong thing An electrical cord? What's Hank going to do? He's going to bite the wrong thing. An electrical cord?
Starting point is 01:03:34 Oh, boy. Should we... Do you think it's... Take a moment to reflect on what we've learned? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. What have we learned so far? We never take a moment to just reflect. I was thinking about the movie I will always watch whenever...
Starting point is 01:03:43 Oh, yeah. What is the movie you'll always watch? Hey, Dave's here. Yeah. Hey, guys. For me, like Back to the Future 2. Oh, yeah. And I was thinking about it because they got so much right about the future.
Starting point is 01:03:58 The clothes that shrink to fit. Yeah. The dry themselves. The flea would be your boss. Flea would be your boss. Flea would be your boss. Yeah. And then in the future... They predicted Doug Ford.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Basically, Biff is basically Doug Ford. Yeah, absolutely. Sure. But I... Go to Ontario. That'll kill. That joke will kill. The formal wear, like wear that made the business
Starting point is 01:04:27 attire that everyone wears two neckties. Yeah. That easily could have been a thing. But that was like a first draft idea. I don't know, give them two neckties? Have you seen your pants, Dave? I can't miss them.
Starting point is 01:04:45 What's your movie, Graham, that you watch? Probably, yeah, Back to the Future, if it's ever on, or any of the Mad Max films, just because you don't, there's nothing to know,
Starting point is 01:04:56 you know what I mean? Like, you didn't miss anything. It's driving, driving fast. Oh, are they driving? Okay. And away we go. You have another one, the Rocky films.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Yeah, any of the Rocky films, but especially Rocky IV. Is that the one where they're pulling everything? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where he goes out and he... The Russian, if you've never seen Rocky IV, the Russian, he trains the way that you would train to fight a boxing match. He goes on a treadmill and such.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Rocky lifts rocks and then at some point helps somebody fix a sled that's gone over. I don't know how he thought that was going to help him in the ring. It did. It did. He won. That's true. Spoiler. Spoiler.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Yeah. Any of the... Roadhouse is another movie. Oh, yeah. Roadhouse. Speaking. Spoiler. Yeah. Any of the, Roadhouse is another movie. Oh, yeah. Speaking of fight movies. That's, why there was never a sequel to Road, huh?
Starting point is 01:05:52 That movie's so crazy. It is so crazy. It is so crazy. I saw it for the first time like five years ago. Weren't they going to remake it with Ronda Rousey? Mm-hmm. Did they? They didn't.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Because they, she couldn't act. They realized, they were like, she doesn't know how to act. She can do the roundhouse part, which is very important in this film. But she can't do the roadhouse part.
Starting point is 01:06:12 The tearing out the throat thing was his big move, right? He has a big, uh-oh, look out Nellie, here it comes. Pardon me while I take your Adam's apple. How many people here have seen Roadhouse? Not a lot. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:06:29 You have your homework. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a must view. And Brent's not kidding. His go-to move in a fight is to rip out his opponent's throat. But it's also, it's the thing, being a good guy,
Starting point is 01:06:42 it's the thing he has to fight against not doing. I could end this so quick. No, not now. It's like a fight with his own claw hand. Tomorrow's family day. I think it's the perfect time to watch Roadhouse with the kids. Kids, gather around. And it's one of the movies that i've learned that stereotype from the
Starting point is 01:07:08 rich person that owns the whole town yeah that's that's classic roadhouse he he employs a henchman that's got a monster truck this movie has everything oh god do you like jeff healy's music he's in it as well he well. He's got a speaking part. He's got lines. Jeff Healy is like zinging Patrick Swayze. I thought you'd be taller. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:07:33 It's got so much going for it. Yeah. Non-stop. There is a gratuitous bare breast scene. So if that's not your cup of jam. That's why I've never seen it. My mother wouldn't let me
Starting point is 01:07:49 to this day. Do you remember... My Valentine's date. Please, Mom, I'm 38. Can I watch Roadhouse? Nope. No. It's filth.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Do you remember as a kid, like, watching a movie at home, and then some nudity came on, and you were with your... Not at home, but in the theater. Yeah. But with your parents? Yeah. And just being like, uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:08:23 This is going to be a talking to on the ride home. What about when you're on a plane now and nudity comes up and it's just on your little screen? It's so embarrassing. Or the dude beside you has got the laptop open and there's porn on it. What? You're like, really? Have you never been in that situation? It's not actual porn.
Starting point is 01:08:47 What, like anime? What are you talking about? What's going on over there? I mean, I've got a pretty high threshold for porn. A lot of this stuff is sort of like, just six people naked having sex. It wasn't porn. Listen, I'm from a small town, Dave.
Starting point is 01:09:09 I don't understand the way... There were only six people to have sex. Where are you coming from? Oh, man. Do we want to move on to Overheard? Sure, let's do just that. Overheard? Sure, let's do just that. Overheard. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Basie, right? Now, before we do Overheard, we've got a little bit of business that we've got to take care of. Oh, yeah, we do have a little bit of business. I totally forgot. I just remembered myself. Is this a London drugs thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:46 We're going to auction off some baskets. Do you have the information at hand? I don't have it at hand. I have it. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is, we have somebody paid for a Jumbotron specifically to be done at the live show.
Starting point is 01:10:07 And we are going to do it justice right now. As soon as I bring up this, here it is coming at you. And I can read along too. Yeah. Jumbotron. This message is for Mark. Where's Mark?
Starting point is 01:10:29 From Karina. So this is a person that does exist, right? I'm hoping. Happy 35th birthday, Mark. You're one of my favorite people.
Starting point is 01:10:43 I'm going to work on the wording there a bit and i'm so excited to be sharing my life with you favorite person you could say i'm gonna edit it you are my favorite person again now this next sentence also doubles down on i hope this is one of the best years you've had so far. She really couches everything. Well, I gotta use all the characters. But then,
Starting point is 01:11:15 just when you think that you know where this message is going, it goes, look forward to marrying you this year. Is it a proposal? I don't know. It sounded like it was they're on board.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Barely. They're on board. You're one of my options. And I hope this year's been okay. So happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Mark. We won't make you stand up, but we might.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Other podcasts would. Yeah, we're nice, though. Now, we always like to start overheards with the guests. We'll start. Alicia, would you lead the charge? Okay. overheards with the guests we'll start Alicia would you lead the charge okay so um a little while ago I was taking the dog out for a walk and the dog his name is Hank corner gas Hank there's two Hanks and and there was a boy about maybe 12 or 13 walking down the street with a boy, maybe 8 or 9.
Starting point is 01:12:26 And the older boy was a white child with blonde hair. And the smaller boy was a child of color, perhaps Spanish. I don't know. Anyways, that's not... That part's not important. Seems pretty important. I mean, I'm not, like, good at guessing. I've only been out of the country, like, a few times.
Starting point is 01:12:55 I don't know. Anyways, so he says to his friend, hey, Paul, you're a real N-word. And I was like like what's happening outside and I just went crazy on the kid and I was like Dave and I have been neighbors so he knows how this happens
Starting point is 01:13:14 and I was like you can't use that word it's not okay if I ever hear you say that word again I will take you to your parents myself you should read a book. You're a fucking idiot. Wow!
Starting point is 01:13:29 So I'm yelling this, and I've just gone off on this child. I feel really shaken up, too, because I don't think it's okay to yell at kids. It wasn't okay that he said that to his friend. It was very, very upsetting. His friend looked terrified.
Starting point is 01:13:48 And the kid kind of sassed me a bit, and I just kept going back at him. I was like, don't sass me. I'm so old. I'm so tired. The world is an ugly place. It's not the place I wanted to live in. So I kind of, over the weeks, I feel bad because I see this child, the tall blonde one, all the time. I know exactly where he lives.
Starting point is 01:14:11 So if I ever hear him say it again, I know where I'm going. But I don't see his friend that often. And then one day last week, I saw his friend coming down the street with maybe his brother. And he tenses up when he sees me. with maybe his brother and he tends to stop when he sees me. And I hear him say something. His friend says,
Starting point is 01:14:30 she can hear you. And I'm just like... So I just try to look cool as like a 43-year-old crazy person. And he doesn't miss a beat. He's like, she's crazy. Definitely was not a hero that day. Really humbling to have a child be like that lady with the witch hair.
Starting point is 01:15:04 Just real crazy. That's my witch hair. It's real crazy. That's my overheard. That's great. Yeah. Outstanding. That's not a bad rep to have in your neighborhood. Yeah. You got a good, like you're a good street cred now.
Starting point is 01:15:18 Well, I also yelled that there's a dad across the street that I call. Maybe you're yelling at too many people. I yell. Maybe you're yelling at too many people. I yell, yeah. He sets off fireworks for, it was eight hours of fireworks on fireworks night and like, I got... So you call Halloween?
Starting point is 01:15:36 Fireworks night. Yeah, because it's not Halloween to me anymore. It's this guy who dresses like Hell's Angel so I don't call the cops because I'm not 100%. I'm sure that he's not a full patch member. Yeah, and I just snapped on him and went up to him and I was like, do you think you're being a good neighbor right now? Like that's when we came out and I was like, this is fucking crazy.
Starting point is 01:16:03 And then I looked down and his like child's there. I was like, this is fucking crazy. And then I looked down and his child's there. I was like, fuck you guys. Did he stop with the fireworks? He stopped for a bit. And then this is what happens because he stockpiles them for the whole year and his kid, like his two children. And one of them will throw a firecracker and then hide from me.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Oh. Oh, it's great. It's nothing like being terrorized by a neighborhood kid. You terrorize them right back? Yeah. I really do. Good for you. Yeah, I don't have that thing where I can stop myself from screaming at people being really rude.
Starting point is 01:16:49 I've never had it. You don't need it. Yeah. The world needs people like you. I don't know. Otherwise, next year it's 11 hours of fireworks. Then it's 14 hours of fireworks. Next year I'm getting a hotel.
Starting point is 01:17:03 Yeah. By then, of course, then you have to deal with people setting off fireworks. Next year I'm getting a hotel. Yeah. By then, of course, then you have to deal with people setting up fireworks in the hallway. Or the maid with the vacuum cleaner. Do you think you're being a good maid right now? It's exactly like that.
Starting point is 01:17:17 It's 9.30 in the morning. People ordering fireworks from room service. Yeah. Yeah, I live in hell. Brent, do you have an overheard? It should be a heck of a book. I... Well, I thought I had an overheard until that story
Starting point is 01:17:41 with the screaming and the bikers and the n-word and the whole deal this is more this is this is a good uh it i as soon as i heard this i thought this is i need to write this down and and bring it to uh the stop podcasting yourself thing because just being in la this seemed like a very hollywood overheard so Nancy and I, this is our first day when we got there, and we just go to the lounge in the hotel lobby, and we're having a drink. And there's two, they seem to me to be old school Hollywood producers. Maybe I'm just projecting, because we're the,
Starting point is 01:18:21 hey, we're in Hollywood, everybody's a producer. But they did seem like that. And they were like late 60s, maybe early 70s. They seemed like they were old school producers. So this is, my overheard is two splatches, as Rich Hall would say. Two little splatches from their conversation. So they come and they sit down. So this is like, I don't know if they know each other already.
Starting point is 01:18:41 It doesn't seem like it because the one guy is kind of laying down the law. He's getting the upper hand right away. And he says, listen, I need to trust you to do business because 90% of what people tell me, I don't know what they're talking about. And it just struck me because it was such a badge of honor to him. It was a real, I don't think you know how stupid I am exactly. You know what I mean? It was a real twist.
Starting point is 01:19:10 It was like when they tell you if you have a weakness, make it a strength. It was a real jujitsu mental move. And then so following up a little bit later in the conversation, the same guy says to the other guy, he says, listen, and I'm going to read this because I want to get this exactly right. He said, no, no, it's not my job to understand. It's your job to explain me into it. And if you can't explain me into it, then you're explaining me out of it.
Starting point is 01:19:45 And I was like, God damn, I am nipple deep in show business right now. That's like Miller's Crossing. My God. I definitely am going to adopt that in my life. If you're not explaining me into it, you're explaining me
Starting point is 01:20:01 out of it. That line has worked for him a thousand times. Yeah. Oh, boy. Dave, do you have an overheard? Not really. It was a snowy week. Sure.
Starting point is 01:20:20 So you've heard. Setting the scene. Yeah, picture this. It snowed. I built a snowman with my daughter. And the snowman stood. Oh, it could have been a woman. So, you know, where's my pat on the back for saying that?
Starting point is 01:20:46 And so we made this snowman. And beautiful. The tits on this thing. Carrot nose. Three balls. One's big, second medium, third just right, and arms twigs. So we build it.
Starting point is 01:21:15 It's there for like three days. Then, you know, the weather changes. It starts raining. Things get warmer. And I looked out the window window and it had fallen over and pointed out to Margo, my four-year-old, hey, look at the snowman, and she said,
Starting point is 01:21:32 oh yeah, he's dead. Dad, you're the last to know. Yeah. That's chilling to me. That is chilling. Literally. Yeah, snowman's dead Life goes on He was magic for the time that he was here Now he's dead
Starting point is 01:21:55 Fair enough That's life, man The wisdom of babes, man Babes What's up with you, Overheardwise? The wisdom of babes, man. Babes. What's up with you, Overheard Wise? Overheard Wise, I was at the Vancouver Canucks hockey game. Yeah, you've heard of them, your local squad.
Starting point is 01:22:20 And they won. They won the night that I was there. And walking, yeah, no, it's true. It happened. It happened. They're fighting for a playoff. They're right in the mix of a playoff wildcard position. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:33 They won in a shootout, but it was still a win. Still counts as a win. Anyways, I was walking through the crowd, and I just caught this one sentence, but it painted kind of a portrait of the whole conversation that this guy was having with his friend, or maybe not friend. But he was scratching his neck like this, and he was going, well, I only really know Ron Jeremy. That guy was on my flight. So you know a lot of porn people, right? Who's your favorite porn man?
Starting point is 01:23:19 I've only seen the back half of his movies. They all kind of end the same. Disgusting. Now, normally on the podcast, we accept overheard submissions from the audience through email, through phone calls, but since we're in person,
Starting point is 01:23:43 there's a microphone right there. If anyone in this audience, anyone at all, hasn't overheard, this is your chance. Just walk up them stairs as if ascending to heaven. And yeah, there we go. Wow. Some great people right out of the gates. Beautiful.
Starting point is 01:24:02 Hello. Like a confessional. Hello. Hello. What's your name? Raven. Hi, Raven. This is an overheard by my grandma. She was overhearing someone at church. It's this
Starting point is 01:24:15 old Swedish lady, and I guess her husband has been in palliative care for like six months. And so she's this Swedish lady, and this is how my grandma said it. She said, the Swedish lady said this, daddy dearest,
Starting point is 01:24:32 you cannot die today or tomorrow because it is snowed. And I don't remember where our cemetery plot is. So if they don't clear it, you cannot die. And that's it. Wow. That's as good a reason to hang on as any. Raven, everybody. Guilt him back to life.
Starting point is 01:24:49 And because I guess I'm in charge of burying you. Yeah. They don't have a record at the cemetery. Hello. Hello. Hi, Dave Graham and favorite guests. Hello. My name's Kirk.

And you know if somebody has their phone out, you're not necessarily snooping, but you might just take a peek at it? Sure. Who hasn't?
Starting point is 01:25:22 Exactly. He had a messenger app out. I wasn't reading the messages, but I saw the last thing he sent was a picture. It was himself shirtless, and he was holding his underpants out. It was a dick pic. I saw this guy's dick pic.
Starting point is 01:25:35 Sure. Wow. Anthony Weiner just released from the girl today. That's all right. Sorry about that, Kirk. Yeah, sorry. It's okay. Kirk about that, Kirk. Yeah, sorry. It's okay. Kirk, off I go.

And there was like a prominent end cap of juice that advertised itself as having the power of seven. And this was among the seven, like pomegranate, plum, probably prune. Suffice it to say, a lot of like very fiber rich, like stone fruits. And there was a lady that was pondering this juice and she turned it over in her hand and then looked over to her husband and said,
