Starting point is 00:01:28 It was like a group of 7 month old fetuses No just kidding, it started with 7 year old kids They're just like interviewing bellies It's the most boring of the series Some of the bellies are wearing headphones And then it Yeah, it follows this group of people every seven years
Starting point is 00:01:46 they go back and kind of analyze what has happened in their life i can't where are they now are they 49 up or something like they're pretty far along like it's been going on for a long time it's like the same people different it's a series every time they update it every seven years yeah yeah it's the same company making the same film with the same people, but it's every seven years. Are there seven people? I think so. Maybe. I don't know that much about it. And they should just do like a battle royal one time.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Well, that's what's going to happen at 56. They'll somehow find their lives leading to an island and then suddenly they're just left there. And they're like, who will be the... Then there's just seven people left. I don't know. They all get seven weapons. Coconut radio. There's seven doors and seven keys to seven doors. Seven brides for seven brothers.
Starting point is 00:02:31 There are seven bullets on the island. Whoever commits suicide last wins. This is great because it's episode seven of our show. So it's a perfect time to do all this Sev talk. By the way, do you guys want to go to Sev? Hang out in the parking lot at Sev. So what's going on with Kevin Lee? You were just saying that you think 2010 is going to be a great year.
Starting point is 00:02:53 You're pro-riot. Oh, no. Uh-oh. Nope. I don't. Okay, that's okay. Let's give an update for the listener. We live in Vancouver, home of the 2010 Olympic Games.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Last night was the opening ceremonies, and this morning there was a mini riot down there. The Kaiser Chiefs were correct. Their prediction was right on. What was their prediction? They had a song called I Predict the Riot. So many of us saw this, the show of like ungotten references by one of us. It was an Olympic. But yeah, there was the first in what I'm sure will be a series.
Starting point is 00:03:32 We'll do a seven up of riots. Yeah. Because I know it's going to happen again seven days from now and another seven days from then. Sure, yeah. It's just going to become habit for the city and they're just going to keep rioting even after the Olympics are over. Yeah, everybody just takes the windows out of their front.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Like, eh, whatever. If we lose a couple mannequins, we're trying to win a deal. But yeah, so there was like some windows smashed, and you know. But our point is Kevin is pro-riot. Yeah. No! We keep putting words in his mouth. I'm pro-words in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:04:06 It's, I don't know. There's certain, there's elements, the reason for the riots I'm okay with, i.e. dissenting to the Olympics, but then like, I don't know. I feel like it paints the dissent in a bad light because it just can be portrayed so easily by the media as hooliganism. This is suddenly turning not funny whatsoever. No, but it's, because it just can be portrayed so easily by the media as hooliganism. This is suddenly turning not funny whatsoever. No, but it's... Because it just happened. The first one
Starting point is 00:04:30 that I'm sure it won't be the last one happened this morning and there was, you know, violence and some people were arrested. Nothing... Nobody was killed. No, not even close. All those... Yeah, apparently a guy got jumped by a couple of the protesters.
Starting point is 00:04:44 They called themselves protesters, but they were breaking windows and covering their faces with masks. So they're like con-testers. But apparently some guy was like, hey, go home, jerks. Like just some guy on the street and then a couple of protesters started beating him up. Really? Oh, see, I don't like that. Yeah, they say that's going too far. Like, who cares?
Starting point is 00:05:03 Like, I don't know. I'm okay. I don't know. Go home, jerks. I don't know what. Yeah, they say that's going too far. Like, who cares? Like, I don't know. I'm okay. I don't know. I can't say I'm a pro at Smash. I don't know what he said. Hey, guys. Come on, guys. Just be real for a moment.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Ease up. Let's all sit down here on my crate and let's talk this out. Let's have a little jam sesh with Terry. With Terry. With Terry. So, are you going to participate at all in the Olympics? No, not really. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:26 There's just everything. I work downtown, so that feels like participation enough because there's so many people. It's so busy. Lots of Norwegians. Oh, my God. I saw the best Russian guy yesterday. And this is the only time of year when you feel okay identifying people by their country of origin. Because randomly, you can't just be like, I saw a Russian guy.
Starting point is 00:05:44 And you're like, how do you know he's Russian? This guy was wearing a tracksuit that said russia on his back and so he was like he was he had like this like blondish gray like feathered e like a mullet um and uh and he was like nine feet he basically looked like dolph lundgren basically and he was huge and he was so angry and he's by himself and then like a pack of ukrainians um uh found him. No, they all just started talking to one another, but really low, and they all seemed really angry, but maybe...
Starting point is 00:06:09 They were talking about... There was a protest happening up front, so maybe that was it. Well, speaking of Dolph Lundgren, we got sent an amazing clip by a listener, Bumper. Dolph Lundgren singing at an awards show, singing the Elvis song. What is that song? I didn't see it it's a little more action a little less conversation yeah yeah he sings
Starting point is 00:06:32 the song Elvis wrote for Ocean's Eleven Universal Soldier he comes out uh and I think it's obviously it's in some country where they would approve of Delphalungrid singing this song. Was it Sweden? I think he's Swedish. I thought he was Russian. No. Oh, wow. That's really...
Starting point is 00:06:52 He might be Danish. My illusions are being dissed. Used? Yeah. He's whatever country accepts him the most. But anyways, it's a lavish song and dance number. And then he sits down at the drum set and does a big drum solo. He drums?
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yeah. What is he, Dana Carvey? He's wearing a tuxedo the whole time and he's playing to the camera. Like whenever he says like a little more action, he points at the camera. It was great. Wow. There were a lot of people in the crowd with balloons. Dolph Lundgren's signature.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I love balloons. Every time I do a movie, It's a trailer full of balloons I feel in Europe In Europe They do a lot more They're a lot more sincere about things They appreciate things Shamelessly
Starting point is 00:07:37 And like they will They all learn chants They all clap along to every song They probably invented those thunder sticks The sincerest form of They all learn chants. They all clap along to every song. They probably invented those thunder sticks. The sincerest form of approval is balloon. That's how you know you're doing really. That's like the standing ovation of Europe.
Starting point is 00:07:58 They all just inflate balloons instead of lighters. They're like trying to knock them. There's so many of them they just get away. It's deafening. The number of balloons flying off in every direction. Speaking of foofarai, who watched the Olympic opening ceremony? I did. Right?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah. Did you enjoy it, Graham? Yeah, it was all right. I heard this morning that it cost $40 million. So if that's true, then I think they went a little over budge um what let's do a quick recap of it okay okay uh we start giant uh totem poles come out with arms yeah uh what i missed the start of it yeah and then first nations dancers dancers come out. Yeah, ice totems. No, starts with the VIP box.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Half of the VIPs not arrived yet. People still being seated as ceremonies start. Nice. Then giant totem pole guys. First Nation dancers. Then all the countries walk in. Yeah. And then...
Starting point is 00:09:04 The whole alphabet from Greece to Canada. Are they in alphabetical order? Yeah, they are. And then there's a couple countries where there's... But Greece starts and the host country always ends. Oh, why is Greece... Oh, because Olympics, yeah. Olympics, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Still holding on to that, aren't they? It's all they have. That and the Greek salad. Yeah, the olives. They're all they have. That and the Greek salad. Yeah, the olive. They're all just eating. Everybody has to come out eating their national dish. A big brick of feta cheese. They're like, I'm Greek and I actually don't like feta cheese.
Starting point is 00:09:36 This is the worst tradition. I have to work out tomorrow. They put on a black mask and smash a bay window. I have feta cheese. I have to ski down a mountain tomorrow. I feel terrible. I drank too much of the feta cheese drink. Before any of those things,
Starting point is 00:09:51 it started with a video of a guy snowboarding down a hill. Oh, right, right, right. That's like memento. We're working backwards. And then you don't remember any of it? And then you just shoot yourself in the eye. And then, yeah, he comes. It's one of those things that you've seen like a million times where it's a video and then the door swings open.
Starting point is 00:10:10 And the guy's a little late getting out. It's supposed to be seamless, but he snowboards into the stadium off a ramp like two seconds too late. Yeah, it was too late. It was definitely off cue. And then he snowboarded through an Olympic rings onto a snow ramp into the arena. Fake snow. Potato flakes, I assume. Was he like a famous guy? Was it Donald Sutherland?
Starting point is 00:10:34 I don't know who it was. Was it anybody? It wasn't. We were having dinner last week and they had those. The campaign was Believe, right? And it was Donald Sutherland with all the kids. You've seen the commercials no i'm pretty sure they've stopped promoting the olympics now that we're one day in but they had donald sutherland was the voice of the olympics of the kids and i'd be like what i don't believe a child could be done that's all
Starting point is 00:10:59 at one point at the end, he goes, do you believe? And then he tries to smile, but I think it's so foreign to Donald Sutherland to ever express joy that it just looks like he's grimacing, like somebody poked him in the back. Yeah, he's just like, and so he was at the
Starting point is 00:11:21 ceremonies. Old Man Winter, I think, was his character he was playing. Okay, so after all the countries come in, and there's like four really hot chicks among all the athletes. And that's what the camera trained on the whole time. So it was like, what a hot Olympics. A couple of hot flag bearers. Leggy flag bearers.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I saw a clip of that where it's like all the men are fully clothed, but the women are barely wearing anything. Oh oh yeah the country uh holders things yeah yeah um the guys should have had short shorts on just to make it even and it would have been so fucked up like he's like a cabin boy i do that guy i do that guy um Okay, after the country's come in, lot of hoo-ha. Yeah. By which I mean female genitalia. Lot of whoopee.
Starting point is 00:12:12 And then what was the next thing? I don't know. It was a lot of, there was some pomp, there was some circumstance. Was it? No, oh, it was the national anthem sung by this.
Starting point is 00:12:22 As interpreted. As interpreted, but like in that sexy kind of, the way that they do the American national anthem sung by this... As interpreted. As interpreted, but like in that sexy kind of the way that they do the American national anthem a lot of times at football games or whatever, will be like over like you're singing to the country and you're trying to seduce it.
Starting point is 00:12:36 You brought the country up on stage and put it in a chair and you're like singing to it. Yes! Oh say... Hey Canada, I hear you're having a bachelorette party. You're looking good, Canada. Shave show. Just kidding.
Starting point is 00:12:50 I remember I saw that. I listened to that episode. That's us. Shave show. Just give Canada a big old shave show. And that was the Nora Jones lookalike girl. Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Only 16, I gathered. She's very. But very seductive. She seduced the shit out of that nation. And then, so that was weird because it didn't sound quite like O Canada. And then I can't remember what came next. I don't know specifically, but it was maybe, oh, it was the history of Canada with like the ice melting on the thing. Oh yeah, the artistic kind of yeah that was good
Starting point is 00:13:25 that part i thought was yeah pretty well done and you know for what it was ice capades or whatever um and then sporty spice and brian adams when you're gone did they sing i saw it i saw it on mute and uh no they lip synced Nelly Furtado and Brian Adams and Brian Adams missed his cue. Oh, really? He didn't have his microphone up by his mouth and he started singing.
Starting point is 00:13:52 So it was, that wasn't great. Oh, well. I remember seeing a clip of that and they kept like all like the like First Nations dancers like were all around them as if it was like
Starting point is 00:14:00 the Much Music Video Awards with First Nations dancers like audience and like full regalia. Yeah, like circus where they're all just like woo! Like at first it took me a second to realize that that was them like i thought they just brought partiers out and i'm like what they just give them a club scene and i was like oh it's all the first nation dancers and then i extra level of weirdness where do you think the first nation dancers go when they want to dance and then a lot of wire work.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Yeah, there was a kid that flew around a lot. Yeah, Peter Pan at the Prairies. Oh, Fiddle Fest. Fiddle Fest. That was obnoxious. Oh, so rock and roll with their chains and ripped tartan skirts. And everyone wearing fake tattoos. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I'm so sick of that. I didn't understand the fake tattoos. What was that sign What was that? Celtic tattoos? Yeah, Celtic. Scottish tattoos? Because it's kind of Scots Celtic, the fucking... What percentage of old Celtic, like old-timey Celtic people had tattoos?
Starting point is 00:14:56 Well, the ones that teamed up with the Maoris to fight off the invasion. They all got tattoos. Yeah. To remember their time together. It's fun. I'm Maori forever. That's when They all got tats. Yeah. To remember their time together. It's fun. I'm married forever. That's when they invented barbed wire. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:10 That's right. That's right. So there was that. And then... Sarah McLachlan sang a song. Yeah. Asked you to donate to the SBC. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:21 She brought some crippled animals. Out of the back of her piano it opened and then on wires some crippled animals. Out of the back of her piano it opened and then on wires came crippled animals floating out of it. Wearing skis. Wearing skis and cups. We have to incorporate the Olympics. The little Canada batuks and scarves.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Little mitts, those red mitts the animals cover up their mangled paws. Okay, and that happened. That happened. And that was not bad. That was appropriate for the theme. Then a couple speeches, maybe. Worst, horrible speeches. And then Shane Koizen, local slam poet.
Starting point is 00:16:00 He's really good. Poet. Poet. There's no masculine or feminine. But I didn't know he was a part of it. And I was shocked and surprised. And it was really good. Poet. Poet. There's no masculine or feminine. But I didn't know he was a part of it, and I was shocked and surprised, and it was really good, and he got, like, big audience reaction and stuff. Which, I imagine following, like, you know, high wire antics, crazy 3D effects. A giant bear. Yeah, a giant polar bear. A giant bear made of LEDs and then the whales that went...
Starting point is 00:16:30 That swam on the floor or whatever? Yeah, and spat up. People at home, if you want, you can watch along on ctv.ca. Just fast forward. Rewind and fast forward back and then go back again and forward. He just went up and it was just him on a platform doing his thing. And he did really, really well. So that, I was over the moon that that went so well.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And then I can't remember what followed. Was it Katie Lang? Yeah, that was really good. She sang the... Hallelujah. Oh, she killed it. She was really good. She was good.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And she wasn't lip syncing? No, she sang. You're sure she wasn't? No, she brought it. I remember the microphone was a mile away from her face, it she was really good she was good lip syncing no she's saying sure she wasn't no she brought it like the microphone was like a mile away but she was like like a silent she knows what she's doing yeah she can belt it out all right she belts it out to the rafters she's great and then i think that's when they brought in the torch am i missing a chunk uh maybe i think a lot of it can be uh summed up with wire work we're gonna be like for 40 for 40 million dollars there could have been a lot more interpretive dance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 So all of it is interpretive dance. God. A lot of it was ponchos. Yeah, there were a lot of ponchos, a lot of cardboard drums. A lot of plastic lighter lights. Yeah. I just, yeah, I knew that. That's the kind of stuff that my mom I know would eat up with a spoon,
Starting point is 00:17:43 but I'm watching them just like, more interpretive dance. And the way the announcers have to tell you what's happening all the time. Like, this is a mountain rising out of the ground, symbolizing the rugged wilderness of Canada. I was watching. Like, just incidentally flipped over after the Canadian one was done. They were replaying it an hour later on NBC. it an hour later on NBC. And one of the commentators' comments when New Zealand came out,
Starting point is 00:18:06 when their team came out, was, that's where a lot of the effects in Avatar were done. Thanks, New Zealand. He was just Googling frantically. I need something about New Zealand. Once I shared a dorm room in college with a New Zealand guy at the end of our tenure. He told me he was
Starting point is 00:18:27 Australian. Don't believe him. A lot of our viewers will be familiar with Whale Rider. And the weird thing about the Olympics is that, or the opening ceremonies, is that how do you practice that like it's not like
Starting point is 00:18:46 you you can't go see a in vegas go see an opening ceremony like how do you know you're any good at doing opening ceremonies there's only been like 20 in the history of the world that's true i was wondering who it was who did the the thing he's some guy he's from australia the guy who did the the thing he's some guy he's from australia the guy who did all the you mean new zealand yeah correct um a lot of people mispronounce that that's right um but yeah the i actually put in when i was still working on the tv show i put on uh to be a dancer because they were asking for volunteer dancers so i put in to be a dancer. And I got accepted, but the hours for it were so crazy. Like, you had to go every Saturday and Sunday. And it was, like, 10-hour days.
Starting point is 00:19:34 And it's all free. There were a few different kinds of dancers. But my favorite were just the people standing as the countries were coming in. That's probably who I would have been. Just grooving for three hours. Just feeling the flow of each country. Germany's here. I'm going to do a robot.
Starting point is 00:19:54 They'll appreciate this. Yeah, sure. Because that's where robots come from. Yeah, exactly. Greeks are here. I'm going to do a robot eating feta cheese. Yeah. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I'm sorry, all the Greek listeners. I honestly do not know any more about your country. Greeks are here. I'm going to do a robot eating feta cheese. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, all the Greek listeners. Doing another male robot. I honestly do not know any more about your country. Olympics and cheese. I'm going to do a robot inventing democracy. And then the big cauldron came out. Yeah, well, there was a big every day in the paper leading up to the opening ceremonies.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Who's going to light the torch? It's probably going to be Wayne Gretzky. It might be Terry Fox's mom. And it might be... Who was the other one? Oh. Elvis Stoico. To spark the flame with his blades
Starting point is 00:20:41 and triple axes over it. That would have been showmanship. Rick Hansen. I don't know who he was. Rick Hansen, yeah. Trevor Linden. He had my vote. Rick Hansen had my vote.
Starting point is 00:20:53 But it was Rick Hansen, Wayne Gretzky. No, no. Rick Hansen wasn't one of the four. Rick Hansen handed it off. Oh, he came in, handed it off to Nancy. But he hung out there. Yeah, he hung out there. But he was like a potential, wasn't he?
Starting point is 00:21:06 I thought that was like the mystery is that they all came out and they all were standing there. It's like, who's going to do it? I think what was supposed to happen was they were all four supposed to, there were supposed to be four spikes came out. Or were there supposed to be five? Were there five Torchbearers? If you count Rick Hansen. So there's Rick Hansen, Nancy Green. Yep, Senator Nancy Green-Rayne.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Wayne Gretzky. Steve Nash. Steve Nash. And Katrina Lamedone. Oh, Katrina Lamedone, that's right. The donor. And then who brought out the... The boner donor.
Starting point is 00:21:39 She's not bad. Well done. It rhymes. No, it makes sense. That's a t-shirt. If I don't see that at least once during the Olympic Games, somebody with a picture of her, like just the outline of her and just the boner. Her with a boner in the middle of it. Thank you, Kevin.
Starting point is 00:21:57 But when you fill it in, it's like hypercolor. When you're hot, it fills in her shape and it's just like the tip of a skeet. She's a speed skater. Okay, a tip of a ski she's got like just right at her speed skater yeah okay the tip of her boot but the speed skate sounds like why does her dick have a blade on the bottom yeah it'll just be her um just her silhouette because the uh like the nba logo yeah yeah they need one for speed skaters so it'll be just let me donor but um so uh oh and the flag was terry fox's mom yeah donald sutherland bobby or uh some other celebrity romeo de lair he's like oh yeah so grim that guy's been through a lot so i was just like man he's like the most interesting
Starting point is 00:22:38 guy holding that flag honestly get your head in the game de laallaire. Who else was it? Was there another actor? Yeah. There were some oldies. A lot of old people I'd never heard of. Anne-Marie. Oh, Anne-Marie. That's who it was, Anne-Marie. There she's waving,
Starting point is 00:22:57 all the death rumors aren't true. Yeah. This is Paul McCartney of Canada. Simon Lebon of Canada So then the Torch thing fucked up It broke Yeah the cauldron was supposed to have a bunch of hydraulic
Starting point is 00:23:14 Thingies come out of the ground But it didn't Only three of the Well first of all nothing came out That was the first That was the first snafu that I saw because I didn't catch Brian Adams. So when they're all waiting there and then there was weird music cues where they're just trying to fill time because the hydraulic torch
Starting point is 00:23:31 wasn't coming out of the ground. Well, and also I'm like, hey, way to not try and conceal it at all on your face, fellas. Steve Nash looked like he was about to cry. He was like, what are we going to do? You looked like the Joker. You had this Sinister smile Like he had planned it
Starting point is 00:23:47 I stuck a basketball in the gears Behind the back though And then Brian Williams at one point Like cause they were like They were gonna light the torch outside And Brian Williams is like He's the perennial Canadian
Starting point is 00:24:02 Olympic reporter guy What's the American NBC guy? Is his name also Brian Williams? That's what I thought when you first said that. Oh, Brian Williams. Yeah, he's the nighttime. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like the news anchor.
Starting point is 00:24:14 So yeah, we have the perennial Olympic host in Canada. Brian Williams. That sounds nothing like it. Yeah. Anyways, he was stalling for time. And then he said, ridiculously, he was like, I wonder if Gretzky's going to run the torch all the way down to the waterfront. It's like about, it was, the route they took was about a mile long. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:37 So he was going to just run in the pouring rain through crowds of people. Waving the torch in front of him, get away, get away. I'm the great one at burning your ass. Well, he had Marty McSorley there to protect him. That's a good hockey joke. Really good hockey joke. So yeah, they lit the torch inside. And then Wayne Gretzky gets in the back of a Chevy truck.
Starting point is 00:25:00 And they drive through Vancouver with apparently no security. No, and people running alongside the truck like screaming and yeah you could tell he was so embarrassed he was kind of like yeah yeah anyway because people you're just like they're like he kind of looked terrified to me yeah that's that's well like it was jfks that was my whole theesque. That was my whole... The whole time I was thinking something, some disgruntled somebody is going to throw something and this is going to be the worst. But it didn't turn out that way. Throw him into a bay window.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yeah. That's what I thought. Well, I thought, because that's what exactly... I was watching it on the streaming off the internet and right as they were having that malfunction and it started to come up In BC Place It was at BC Place right? Yeah yeah yeah As soon as it started coming up it cut out and it just stopped playing on CTV
Starting point is 00:25:52 I was like what? Right before the money shot And then we ran down to like a local bar And by that point Gretzky was In the back of the truck so I was like oh man the whole thing Totally fucked up and they couldn't light the torch Now they're just like sending him to like their backup torch In a truck. Yeah cause there was like You'd think that they're just like sending him to like their backup torch in a truck yeah cause there was like
Starting point is 00:26:05 you'd think that they would have like cops everywhere this whole city's been covered in cops they're sending him to Home Depot yeah
Starting point is 00:26:11 for a couple of wrenches and some advice for a bit of Arby's too one of the four of you has to go Nash is like I'm outta here we bought these hydraulics
Starting point is 00:26:22 here I think they're still under warranty we don't have the receipt. I just cut the keys. But part of it is him waiting for 20 minutes to talk to somebody. I was like, but these are the screws I bought last time. He goes, just try these screws.
Starting point is 00:26:32 I swear. I'm going to make you come over and look at toilets with me. And you're just like, talk to Gretzky. Toilets aren't my department. Oh, I'm not buying one. I just want you to look at them with me. But then I watched it. I watched the American Feed as well later.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And they cut out that whole ride. They went to commercial and suddenly he's running up to the outdoor torch. The ride was more, I think, they just felt. Because it didn't sound to me like anybody in the booth knew that that was going to happen. That they were going to film this entire procession through the streets it didn't seem like the announcers knew that that was the plan i didn't see it with announcers yeah so it's just like uh anyways it was really weird and i was like why are they putting the this guy at so much personal risk yeah you know like they surely there could have been some rig that they set up so that he wouldn't have had to
Starting point is 00:27:31 sit in the back of an open truck maybe like have some like instead of under lighting they just have the slow release of like a mace that comes out like a little mace cloud that creates like a perimeter some people run up to him they they're like, it hurts so much. I love you, Wayne. Maybe a Popemobile. Yeah. That would be the best. Well, there was a part where he...
Starting point is 00:27:51 With a little chimney for the torch. He can't be there in the torch, in the vacuum. It's just slowly getting hotter and hotter. He's like, ah. That was my favorite part, though, was when, I guess, when you go in and out of BC Place, you have to walk through. There's like doors that the whole roof is held up by air.
Starting point is 00:28:10 So you have to walk through this like decompression chamber. So he was standing in it with the torch. Waiting. Yeah, waiting. It was like if the torch had to go up an elevator or something to be passed off to someone else. He's like, I'm Wayne Gretzky holding a torch in the decompression chamber. Oh, he had to get like sprayed down because he was contaminated. He lost.
Starting point is 00:28:34 See all these people in white suits? Don't touch him! So that was my favorite part. Last night, I was at Yuck Yucks, the local comedy club, performing for... Official comedy club of the 2010 games. Yeah, as long as there's no fee for that. Opening night of the Olympics. And I said yes to this gig because I'm afraid if I ever say no to a gig, I won't.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Another one will never come along. Fair enough. And I'm there again tonight ever say no to a gig another one will never come along fair enough and I'm there again tonight, it's Saturday if anyone wants to go back in time and see me so I yeah, the first show there were 21 people in the audience
Starting point is 00:29:17 but a good 21 people in a club that seats 200 yeah the tradition at this particular Yuck Yucks club, not necessarily all of them, is that they play Black Betty. Whose thing's that? I don't even know. It's the... Golden Earring.
Starting point is 00:29:38 But it's the Ram-a-Jam-a-Lam. It's Ed Murray. Yeah, Ed Murray. Oh, Black Betty, blam-a-lam, just got me high, blam-a-lam. I'm not dead yet. So they play that at the beginning of the show. Usually they blast it so that people who are carrying on kind of get the hint, like, you will be overwhelmed by the sound system, so shut up.
Starting point is 00:29:59 The show's about to start, and you wrote me a text message. I wrote a text message, which phil hanley was there it was his observation he said 21 people black betty at full volume he's getting it blasted ah we're already quiet i'm just reading books close the books and then uh after the uh after my part of the show i went upstairs and watched uh and watched Wayne Gretzky running through the streets. It was in the hotel lobby. It was downtown. People in the hotel were getting excited.
Starting point is 00:30:34 They were like, he's going to run by here. Everyone started running outside. You clearly saw him pass the street. He was not going to turn down Berard. They should have done like saddam like doppelgangers spreading out through the city i'll look like wayne all these ways basically like maybe like anne marie with like a wig if they would just keep the deception going or it's like who's gonna light it they keep it going all the way to the end of the olympics no one's
Starting point is 00:31:02 chasing anne marie's truck she's like um one person i think i think the reason it was a surprise is because they didn't want the the violent protesters to kill wayne just just a thought um so yeah that was i did a one show for 21 people and then one show for eight people some norwegian folk yeah i had some, some Norwegian folk. Five Norwegians got kicked out of the first show. So it was for 21 people. It ended up for 16. That was devastating to the numbers. Why did they get kicked out?
Starting point is 00:31:34 They were abusive. Just heckling you in Norwegian. I don't know what you're saying. Just get hit with a fish. Is this Assaulted Fish? Did you say Assaulted with a fish? Yeah, fish? Did you say assaulted with fish? No, I did not You might as well have
Starting point is 00:31:49 Isn't that Norway? No, it's Finland I even guessed the wrong Well, they'll have a pickled herring Sure But no, they didn't get kicked out Until well after I was off stage They were fine to me.
Starting point is 00:32:06 One woman said, like, it was such a small crowd, but like it was a great crowd. And some people were laughing so hard that it was infectious to the other people. So that was great. That's good. It's such a big place with 21 people in it. And you would just hear someone keep laughing and then that would make everyone else laugh. You know what infectious is. And then the...
Starting point is 00:32:29 I know it in the disease context. And then the drunkest of the Norwegians at one point laughing so hard just goes, I'm gonna throw up. That's why she was kicked out. Not in my club you're not. You know what Norwegian puke looks like? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Acid. Pickled herring. And schnapps. So I guess that was getting to know me. Graham, anything with you? Well, just to keep going with the Olympic theme, last weekend my brothers were here, and following the podcast the next day, we went to go buy my brother's girlfriend a fake Cowichan sweater. And we went to the bay.
Starting point is 00:33:13 They're very nice sweaters. They are very nice sweaters. I think a girl looks cute in that. Yeah, why not? Maybe not a man. I don't think men are cute anymore. Not all men. No.
Starting point is 00:33:24 That little kid who was flying around in the opening ceremony was pretty cute. Peter Pan of the Prairies. But we went into the bay where... The Hudson's Bay Company. Yeah, where they... That's the official merchandise place. Through the smash window. Yeah, we walked in through the smash window.
Starting point is 00:33:41 New entrance. They just put a sign over top. Boom, you helped. Express entrance. They just put a sign over top. Boom, you helped. Express entrance. And it was like, this was a full week before the opening ceremonies. And it was like Boxing Day in there. It was a madhouse. Boxing Day for Americans, the equivalent is Black Friday.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Is that the equivalent? Where it's just like a shopping mania? Yeah, that's the biggest shopping day of the year okay yeah so it was like that it was just there was uh you know the nobody had any respect for folded garments um that's one thing i have a lot of respect for vpd in there like refolding things making sure people think you keep things folded thank you for police department and then uh i'm just catching everyone out he's translating thanks VPD in there, like refolding things and making sure people can keep things folded. Vancouver Police Department. I'm just catching everyone up. He's translating. And so then my brother went in, got the thing
Starting point is 00:34:34 and then he had to go to the cash, which was in a separate area, to pay for it. It's like a department store. It was in a department. It is, but there was only one. You couldn't take something out of there because you could only pay for it with a visa. Oh, right. So crazy.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Or trade for Samsung phones. Yeah. Here are three Samsung phones. Here is your one glove. Yeah, as many hauls as it is worth. I think hauls are the official lozenge. It's their debit card. I think halls are the official lozenge.
Starting point is 00:35:10 So the other brother were waiting. And while we were waiting, this guy walks in, no shoes, no socks, no top garments, just like no shirt, just a white. So service? White, kind of like yoga pants, walks into the store. Were they filthy? Not really, not particularly. I was about to suggest it was Andrew WK. He walks in and right away we're like, some crazy is about
Starting point is 00:35:36 to happen. And he walks in very like he's just another shopper. Then I see him go over he just grabs the first jacket it's a women's jacket he can puts it on and then runs now it should be noted this guy like a kind of a dark-skinned gentleman in the time we were standing there his skin like no less than six white people walked out set the alarm off and were allowed to just completely go without having their bags checked or anything.
Starting point is 00:36:08 An alarm? This guy. Yeah, the store alarm that goes off. It goes off all the time because. So numerous white people glided out. No problem. This guy goes. I mean, he was obviously stealing, but he was the only one that security even looked at.
Starting point is 00:36:22 But it was the only one that security even looked at. Half of the people that were in the store area were undercover officers in the store, all go out running after this guy. I love it. I see a guy throw his Tim Hortons coffee on the ground and chase after this guy. Like a squadron. Are you sure they were undercover? Absolutely. They all had walkie-talkies.
Starting point is 00:36:42 And they all took off down the street. Fucking gang-t tackled this guy. Like, this guy is defenseless. Drops the coat half a block away like, I give up. No coat for me. I would want to be tackled in a coat. I wouldn't want to be tackled on the concrete shirtless. He thought they would slip on the coat.
Starting point is 00:37:03 He made it four blocks down. Because this is on Seymour Street. So he made it four blocks down. It looked as if he was trying to get on the bus, and you could tell that the bus driver was like, I want no part of this, and took off without other passengers. Other passengers were like, get us on the bus. So that was the exact kind of perfect... I would have loved it if he made it on the bus and that was his plan but the bus just didn't go anywhere it stopped half a block away
Starting point is 00:37:30 my brilliant plan get on the bus go to the back of the bus wave tauntingly at the people shaking their fist stops half a block away and lets off people oh no shit he gets off he just keeps running crosses the street grabs a different bus comes back the other way and he stops across the street another store steals another jacket just goes on and on all day collecting a mob of an undercover plainclothes cops i would also like to point out that i'm uh quite tired because i didn't get home from the comedy club until midnight last night. Then I
Starting point is 00:38:08 had recorded the opening ceremonies. So you had to watch them. I had to watch them because I knew we would talk about them for 45 minutes. You're in great detail. And I was like, okay, I'll fast forward through these opening ceremonies. But I stopped for every country.
Starting point is 00:38:25 I wanted to see their wacky outfits. I fast forwarded through most of the wire work, but I had to see every song and watch every lip sync. Baby, when you're gone. During all that wire work, you miss so many unimportant facts where they're like...
Starting point is 00:38:41 All the useless details are like, the dancers here are being lowered and raised at a rate of one meter per second. Three of them are eunuchs. Guess which one of them? My mom's taking a bath right now. I'm PVRing this for later. I'll have to actually FedEx. Oh, I'm sorry, Pure later.
Starting point is 00:39:03 It's the official sponsor. The PVR to my mom after the show. I mean, hauls. There must be another official courier sponsor. I don't know. Purulator's only in Canada. Is it? I think so, yeah. They usually try to go big.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Or, you know, go home. That's one thing I like about these Olympics so far is how all the different companies are pandering to vancouver especially and just the olympics in general in their ads like how everything's like shot in vancouver yeah like they're actually using it as vancouver they're not like oh it's actually new york like they usually do with hollywood down the boston market yeah um it's just like oh uh the um no I lost it. I like the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Full statement. Fine. No, I don't have anything. I seriously don't. I was going to talk about, oh, no. What I think would be great is if, like, a small mom and pop shop just got their money together. Like Joe's Diner. It was like, we're going to outbid McDonald's for an official restaurant.
Starting point is 00:40:07 And it's just someplace in the middle of nowhere. I would like it if it was something where it was like, yeah, but something that we don't even have in Canada. Like Popeyes or something like that. Yeah, sure. Fudruckers. Fudruckers. Official Olympic sponsor. Cross the border for Fudruckers Fudruckers Official Olympic sponsor Cross the border for Fudruckers
Starting point is 00:40:27 Have you ever seen that I think I've talked about it on the podcast Idiocracy Where they show the evolution of the name Fudruckers Oh they do? It starts as Fudruckers And they show in the future What it turns
Starting point is 00:40:42 Fudruckers then it turns to Rudfuckers, and then Buttfuckers. That's really the best part of Idiocracy. That and the term baitin'. Get out of here, I'm baitin'. Yeah, and well, really, the first half hour of that movie is excellent. It is. Oh my god, if that was all it was... Hats off, Mike Judge. Hats off. Hats off, Maya Rudolph. Congrats on your film career. excellent it is oh my god if that was all it was uh hats off mike judge yeah hats off maya rudolph
Starting point is 00:41:06 congrats on your film career uh do we want to move on to overheard why not overheard oh did you find the bathroom all right i didn't actually tell you what it was just peed on the table it's just a bunch of magazines in the fridge i had a friend who peed in the fridge. Really? Sleepwalking. When he was a kid. What? Poor vegetables.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Poor morning omelette. I couldn't tell you the name of the friend. I don't remember. It was just the story. The parents had to paint a fake fridge that he had to go into the toilet. He opens the fake door and pees in the toilet. No, they had to buy a mini fridge and cut out the bottom and put it on top of the toilet. He opens the fake door and pees in it. No, they had to buy a mini fridge and cut out the bottom and put it on top of the toilet at night.
Starting point is 00:41:49 It's the only way he'll learn. It's the only way he'll learn. Alright, so overheards, if you're not a huge headphone wearer in everyday life, you may have the opportunity to listen to perhaps you're in a restaurant. Perhaps you're
Starting point is 00:42:04 waiting for your meal to arrive and you hear the the opportunity to listen to, perhaps you're in a restaurant. Perhaps you're waiting for your meal to arrive and you hear the booth next to you saying something hilarious. This is the forum for that thing. You've never suggested a restaurant. No, I know. 101. Broadening my horizons. A bus, a strip club,
Starting point is 00:42:19 a Uders. For a second there, I thought you were about to describe two separate places. If you're in a restaurant, if you're waiting for food at a bus stop, whatever you're doing, you're in a restaurant. At a place where you eat. A place where there are waiters and waitresses.
Starting point is 00:42:36 If you've given an address that doesn't exist to the Domino's pizza guy, you're waiting for him in the bushes to attack him for his money. And you overheard the Domino's guy be like, I hope I don't get attacked. That's hilarious. Because it's ironic because he's about to get attacked. Yeah, and he's rich.
Starting point is 00:42:51 That's where you're stealing from. He's rich and eccentric. Because they're always able to make change. Take his bulletproof vest off of him. And we like to always start with the guest. It's not a bulletproof vest. It's just a thing. It's a crazy stick vest. Yeah, it's a thing that keeps pizzas hot. He just keeps the pizzas close to his body.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Heated by body heat. Papa's body heat pizza. All the pizzas are shaped like an undershirt. That's the grossest idea. Are the toppings inside the shirt or outside? They keep them inside. That's where they keep warm. Is it like a bazon where the shirt or outside? They keep them inside. That's where they keep warm. Is it like a bazon where the shirt is stuffed with ingredients?
Starting point is 00:43:29 No, it's shaped like a shirt, but it just has two pepperonis for nipples. It's called the Joel Schumacher shirt. I don't know. I don't get it. That's a Batman reference. They put nipples on us. Robin Batman forever. Oh, right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:43:42 And also Lost Boys. We found out that Kiefer Sutherland has nipples on us. Robin, Batman Forever. Oh, right, right, right. And also... Lost Boys. When we found out that Kiefer Sutherland has nipples. Flatliners. Exactly the same as Donald Sutherland's. Do you believe?
Starting point is 00:43:52 Fluke. And at the opening ceremonies. Through his mesh shirt. He insisted on wearing it, guys. He was wearing a pizza shirt. A shirt of pizza. Sponsored Papa's body. T-shirt pizza. Papa's shirt pizzas. A shirt of pizza. We should sponsor Papa's body. T-shirt pizza.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Papa's t-shirt pizza. Cooked my body. We are idiots. Papa Murphy's t-shirt pizza. Yeah, take and bake. It's pret a manger. That's French for... Pret a manger.
Starting point is 00:44:23 That's the... You can get either Pret a manger Or hot couture Well done That one's for Isaac He's Rahi Okay so Kevin Let's start with you
Starting point is 00:44:35 In the overheard realm I've got one overheard I live in an apartment It's a second floor apartment And it looks over And the address It is 666 Satan Boulevard. What?
Starting point is 00:44:48 Up your butt. Wow. I just said six again. Kevin's my new favorite guest. So I live at an address that's on the second floor and we overlook this kind of hangout spot where a bunch of like old wizened dudes and um we said you're wizened wizened like do you mean they're like wizened in the alley yeah oh yeah the wizard in the alley happens and um they're all just kind of gnarly old dudes definitely some drug dealings happening there yeah um and one day
Starting point is 00:45:21 um at my apartment um and i overhear like a cooking something, and I overhear from the alley, Hey, hey, come back here. I try to be nice to you. I try to be nice to you, and you go like that? Huh? Come on. Come on, man. Let's dance.
Starting point is 00:45:35 What kind of body you got? What kind of body you got? I said that, and I looked out the window, and it's this like tiny guy in this huge tracksuit yelling at like a 50-year-old man trying to get his double-parked car out that he had double-parked in. Obviously, a 50-year-old man probably was like, who parked my car, you jerk? And then that guy's like, I tried to be nice. You were fat. Let's dance.
Starting point is 00:45:55 What kind of body you got? Well, he's a 50-year-old man, so it's a shitty body. He wasn't like Jack LaLanne. He wasn't all ripped or something. That's a hot body. Yeah, and it went on for so long until my girlfriend, she's good at yelling at them. Because I think if I yelled, he would have been like, what kind of body you got? And I'd be like, it's also shitty.
Starting point is 00:46:11 A 50-year-old man body. I can't even close this window. But your girlfriend shakes a mean macaroni stick? No, what are you? Rolling pin. A French bread. Viva la resistance. A pizza t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Do you... Like, I live in not a great neighborhood. You apparently live among drug dealers. I call it convenient. No, I'm just kidding. That was a dumb laugh. Sorry. Taken big.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I wonder what my parents... Like like they've never expressed any concern. Once my dad's friend was over and he was like, oh, where are you living? And I told him and I was like, it's not a great neighborhood. And he was like, well, it's age appropriate. Yeah. Well, because like when you're, I think, isn't that the thing? When you're young, like you can live in a dive and you can live in, I think, isn't that the thing? When you're young, you can live in a dive. I think your tolerance for it probably plateaus at some point, and then it gets fairly desperate.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Yeah, I mean, it's not dangerous. No, not like Michael Jackson's album, Dangerous. Sure, yeah. Oh, that song, Jam? Oh, that song Jam? Actually, in my neighborhood, I live across from a Russian Orthodox church. And it's not like a big church. It's on a street with just houses, and it's probably the smallest house on the street.
Starting point is 00:47:41 It's actually somebody's house. They're doing that to get the tax break. Yeah, but they have one of those weird Kremlin tops. Kremlin? Yeah, Kremlin tops. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the name of that? Like a spire? Yeah, like a meringue.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. And so any stalkers, feel free. You're getting closer. There's an apple tree in the yard. You're getting closer. There's an apple tree in the yard. But there were some Russian tourists this morning who came by and took pictures of it. And that's like the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:48:18 You see a lot of European tourists here taking pictures of garbage. Well, and I imagine I've done the same thing when I'm a tourist. Like I'm taking pictures of something that they're like, why is he taking a picture of our skankiest nightclub? But it looks like an old building on the front. Well, that's what happened. I was in France once and I just found myself there. You woke up there? I went up a butthole and I was in France. Yeah, at 666 Satan Street.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Or Cisse, Cisse, Cisse. Roquefoisine Street. Cisse, Satan. Roquefoisine Street. He's not from France. Anyway, I was there, and we're in this exchange. We're in some small town, and there was a dry cleaning place that my friend and I were like, that's amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:03 And the guy who was our house stay guy was like, what do they think it's great about and the name of it pressing balzac and he had no he did not get it even though he's practicing his english and we should have been like first thing you gotta learn balzac hilarious anything with balzac in it uh tomorrow morning is uh sunday morning and i'm really curious if there will be an influx of Russians coming to this church. For all you know, that church is the most famous Russian church abroad. It might be, but it's tiny. And they have service on Sundays at 11, but people show up two hours early. on Sundays at 11,
Starting point is 00:49:44 but people show up two hours early. And service is at 11 because they start ringing the bells at 1045. That's how I know. But during the service, people are just... I assume there's people inside, but people are wandering the garden. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Your garden? No, no, theirs. The beer garden. The traditional Russian church beer garden. But there's probably more Russians in town than any other delegation. I was saying, their uniforms are, like, their kind of everyday wear track suits are easily the most hideous of anybody at the games. Because the one I saw, I don't know, what do they look like? It's kind of like an orangey-pink
Starting point is 00:50:28 color, and it's got like a splashy... Is it like Canada's China uniforms? Very similar, to the point that I was like, why are we wearing our old China uniforms? And then I saw them all singing Little Less Conversation. Oh, that's right, Dolph Lundgren's not Russian.
Starting point is 00:50:43 The guy I saw, the Russian guy I saw in the tracksuit, not wearing that tracksuit. He was wearing a bootleg tracksuit. Really? He must have. It was like white
Starting point is 00:50:51 and it just said Russian on the back, but it was like a full-on tracksuit. The ones I've seen have been kind of like almost like a fuchsia. I haven't seen the ugly ones
Starting point is 00:50:57 that you've described. I think they have a variety. Ooh. Sunday's three varieties. But they, yeah, there's more Russians Because they're hosting the next Winter Olympics So they sent all their
Starting point is 00:51:10 Olympic people Oh yeah that was something too And they rented out Science World So Science World is closed Yeah that's the Russian pavilion So you go in and you're like I want to learn about science And they're like you'll learn about Sputnik And that is it
Starting point is 00:51:23 You'll learn about the injections We gave like you'll learn about sputnik and that is it you'll learn about the uh injections we gave dolph lundgren and rocky for you'll learn about the pads we put on his chest while he ran on a treadmill meanwhile rocky was you know chopping wood yeah he was helping out a sleigh yeah lifting logs is his euphemism for un-pooing. That's, yeah, for cleaning up his mess that he left. Well, no, it's a vacuum, yeah. It's a big butthole. Anyway, so I'm a little bit gentle. Well, you live off a butthole.
Starting point is 00:51:56 That was one of the things that I noticed when they were in the very opening spiel of the opening ceremonies. They listed all the cities that have hosted the olympics and except for salt lake city and i think seoul yeah no no no no not seoul that was the summer yeah uh there was another calgary maybe what what yeah i need to hear this i didn't recognize any of the names oh like they were all like this will help put us on the map but there was a lot of places that i'm like, I've never heard of these places before. Yeah, it's been like Alberville and
Starting point is 00:52:29 San Moritz twice. San Moritz, and then there was another one, something... Garmisch Park in Kirchen? Yeah. What? There was one, I can't, it almost sounded like it was a park. Like, it was like Deer Lake Park. And I'm like, well, I'm mishearing oh
Starting point is 00:52:45 ricky spaghetti's land or what's the ricky spaghetti what's the the um lake in new york that had the 1980 games oh uh lake placid lake placid yeah oh yeah lake placid was one of them yeah it had it twice i think um yeah none of these places are famous, but it's weird that they... Wasn't Lake Placid the one with the alligator? Yeah, with Betty White. The alligator and Betty White as a bobsled team. They were the mascots, Betty White and an alligator. We're the mascots of the last Lake Placid games.
Starting point is 00:53:20 That'd be awesome. But they, yeah. And the weird thing is all these places built 30,000 seat stadia. Yeah. Stadia, plural. And there's no reason for those. They will sit empty unless there's competitive, you know. Highline tournament that needs somewhere to compete.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Or competitive wire work. Dave, do you have an overheard? I sure do. All right. I went, I had to go downtown four times, three times so far this weekend, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
Starting point is 00:53:57 because I was in a comedy competition where I came in a respectable second. I was the judge one of the nights. I was cheating. I had him first. You were wrong. Yeah. That explains how I came in second.
Starting point is 00:54:14 It was the bell curve. But, you know, you came out first. You had automatic points. Because I was like, whoever comes out first gets automatic points. I didn't know you were first, though. I had to go first two nights in a row. Damn. Yikes, guys.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Who won? Darcy Michael. Darcy Michael, also very funny. It was a good show all around, except that there was nobody there because of the Olympics. Yeah, and the people that were there were really drunk Americans
Starting point is 00:54:36 that hooted in the middle of every joke. USA! USA! So I went downtown three times I will go downtown again tonight Why not? In the thick of it The thick of the night And usually
Starting point is 00:54:56 I didn't drive last night I drove the first two nights Because I was a little afraid That with all the olympics in town you wouldn't be they tell people don't drive yeah it's gonna be crazy downtown arrive alive don't drive yeah and then you go downtown and everyone's heeded the warning and there's plenty of parking yeah it's really ghost town kind of uh except for the drunks drunks have managed to yeah and the spooky way It's not spooky.
Starting point is 00:55:26 It's true. It's not so much a ghost town. It's a parking ghost town. And I double parked because I tried to show off what kind of body I had. We're getting bogged down in semantics, guys. Second place. So, yeah. But the first night I parked really far away
Starting point is 00:55:46 Because I assumed there would be no parking closer And I walked And I brought my iPod But there was so much going on I didn't feel like listening to it So I listened to the voices around me And there was It's bathing in them
Starting point is 00:56:02 Yeah I like to really weave a tail here guys spin a yarn uh there was a guy waiting at a bus stop talking on a cell phone and uh i imagine he was talking to his wife or girlfriend or someone he wanted to say i love you too but didn't quite know how to say i love you so he said check your email tomorrow and you'll how to say I love you. So he said, check your email tomorrow and you'll see I say I love you. Aww. That's like ditto from Ghost.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Yeah. Like if he's going to prove that when he's in Whoopi Goldberg's body that it's actually him, he'll get her to say, check your email. He's not like, I want to say I love you, but I'm passing it to a guy at the bus stop to say I love you and then back to me again. I'm going to send it from my own email account.
Starting point is 00:56:51 No, I'm not getting him to type it. I already said it. The email is sent. I can't unsend the email. It says I love you. If you figure out a way to unsend an email, send me an email about it from the future, because you're in the future where you can unsend emails. But I
Starting point is 00:57:06 refuse to say I love you right now, because that would be faggy. The only thing I love too, but I lied. Who's that? Michael Poulton. And also from a side dish commercial. Side kick side dishes commercial. Really? A little salt shaker that goes outside
Starting point is 00:57:22 and cries salt. Oh, that's cute. That's actually in the top half of advertising. Yeah. Oh, easily. Although it's a little confusing because the S on the salt shaker is the same S as is on a Skittle. Yeah, but then if he cried
Starting point is 00:57:38 Skittles, then it would be really confusing. It would be so confusing. He'd be like, am I tasting the rainbow for dinner? Skittle shaker? Yeah, am I supposed to put that on my mashed potatoes. On my pizza t-shirt. My overheard actually comes courtesy of that comedy competition, because I can't remember my other overheard. But this made me laugh out loud. You heard me laugh at it.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Yeah. Was during the competition, past guest Jane Stanton was on stage and like the audience had really calmed down the the American contingent had been told shut up or we'll kick you out which would have been at least a fifth of the audience but at one point Jane tells a joke where she's walking and her thighs are rubbing together and it sounds like snow pants and the guy in front of me just like unbridled enthusiasm just yelled out snow pants it's the only time i really laughed i gave him actually i had him as the winner yeah you were a close number two after
Starting point is 00:58:32 guy who yelled snow you didn't laugh the whole night i guess you've seen everyone's act i've seen everybody's act multiple times but that guy brought a fresh new take to it that i never had seen before pair him and jane stanton up, they just go from show to show every time. Snoop Bands! He's the hype man. Honey roasted peanuts! Whatever can explain a joke.
Starting point is 00:58:56 So that was me. We have some written in overheards. Do we? We sure do, Dave. You guys cut away to an edit of it? Oh, we'll cut away. We'll just mocap them in.

The first time that you brought the idea that the t-shirt pizza might have a pocket in it.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Yeah, it's a pizza pocket. T-shirt pizza pocket. It's got dipping sauce in the pocket. I love this idea so much. It's so great. Let's call the food jammers. Says, hey guys, went to see Dear John last night. I'm not sure that that's a thing that you just play off.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Yeah, I think that's the overheard right there. He's bragging. He's bragging. And overheard this great bit from the woman behind me. Dear John, I want to eat your face. What? Scariest text message in the world. Dear John is the Channing Tatum movie starring Channing Tatum.
Starting point is 01:00:52 The synopsis that I read online for that was like, Man comes home from war, dates a conservative woman. I was like, what? There doesn't seem to be much conflict there. About right, yeah. I support the war you're involved in. Awesome. Write me a letter about it, bitch.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Call me John. Now, there used to be a TV show called Dear John in the late 80s starring Judd Hirsch, I want to say. Yep, you're correct. I remember the theme song because I sang it
Starting point is 01:01:20 in front of my class. Do you remember it still? We had our principal was leaving. Our principal was retiring, Mr. Richardson, and nobody, I guess our teacher was like, okay, we're doing a big thing for the principal. We're having an assembly, and every class is going to do something.

And I was i was like oh we should sing the theme from dear john dear john dear john by the time you read these lines i'll be gone uh and the class loved it they're like that's the best idea and i was like nah let's not do that it's dumb let's write our own rap song based on the seven dwarves a rap song version of that song yeah put a rap break in it dear John alright this is

Starting point is 01:02:32 Kala M? Yeah, Kala M. Yeah, that sounds about right. I was recently in Terrace, B.C. I was in the hot tub of the rec center one day and noticed a younger fella, very early 20s, with possibly the best worst tattoo ever. Just above his ass he had a tramp stamp.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Which, okay. Rendition of a rather large wooden post sign that said wrong way. No butt sex for this guy. He basically, in his sexual part, just lets them roam around. Let the sign work on his body, tell him where to go.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Sure, yeah. On his stomach, slow down. Just follow the directions on the back. Slow down. Berard Skytrain. Reach around. Juggle. Juggle. Shave show.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Pressing Balzac. Wirework. Dear John Grease Just grease S-E Fed on my face We need to fill a lot of time Graham's not much of a reader
Starting point is 01:03:38 Usually I edit out these lulls The lull is him googling the words That are in the email I don't understand a lot of these words. I'm sounding them out mostly phonetically. My name is Ellington, and one time he's relating one of the times when a kid
Starting point is 01:03:54 sassed him off. Ellington? Don't say his last name. I won't. I didn't. It's a very, like, Ellington whatever his last name is. Is this his first name? like, Ellington, whatever his last name is. Is this his first name? Yeah, Ellington. It might as well be Rothschild.
Starting point is 01:04:09 It's a very... Oh, it's a very posh name. Yeah. Velvet Face. Yes. But yeah, he said, my name is Ellington one time. He might as well be the third. There was this 13-year-old that was making fun of me, and I say, shh. And he says, yeah?
Starting point is 01:04:25 Well, you can suck it. And pivots just to fart right in my face and lets out a triumphant, ha! Imagine if he said, suck it, and turned and then it just whiffed on the fart, and he would go, oh! Imagine if that had happened. I can't. Imagine a world where you can imagine that could happen. That's very similar to my being farted in the face story.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Sorry, Ellington. You're stealing my life. Stop stealing my life. Yeah, but you know what? I think any story where a kid farts in another guy's face is pretty funny. It's a win-win situation. That kid grew up?
Starting point is 01:05:04 Marie Doan. Sorry, Katrina LeMay Doan. LeMay Doan, that's it. I forgot her name. Yeah. What did you call her? The Doan? Marie Bone.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Steve Bone. All right, this is from Shane M. I was in the line at the cafeteria across the street from my work when I overheard a man and a woman at a nearby table discussing their meals. The woman asked the man, how's the chicken wrap? To which he responded, looking very upset, super shitty. They don't know how to make a wrap. It's like they took a bunch of ingredients and just rolled them up in a tortilla. The woman just stared blankly at the man until he said, what? There was a lengthy, awkward pause before she told him, just eat your soup. Pretty good.
Starting point is 01:05:48 How's the sandwich? Oh, shitty. They put meat between bread. They put meat and veggies and they put this weird sauce on it. How's the pasta? It's shitty. It's like flat in a noodle form. And this last one comes courtesy of Ellie L.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Oh, I know her. You know her. Whose dog you are babysitting this weekend? We're dog sitting. Ellie Anna L's dog. Yeah. Let's keep things private. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Let me down. Finally, you got the name right. On the way home last night, passing a few drunken jock types, I caught just a snippet of their conversation. One guy says to his two buddies, Yeah, I've been trying to train this girl how to do that. His friends laugh. He continues,
Starting point is 01:06:34 I know it's possible. I've done it before. Jesus. So those are just a sample of overheards. If you want to write to us, you can write to us. I'll teach your girlfriend how to do it. Just think about baseball. Think about ring it.

Starting point is 01:07:04 Yeah? Do we have some called in over here? Oh, yeah! Hello, Dave, Graham, and guest. Last time I called and said that and there was no guest and I felt pretty silly, so hopefully you guys have one now. I have an overheard for you.
Starting point is 01:07:18 I was at the gas station the other day and the guy at the pump next to me was on the phone and he seemed kind of nervous or upset, and I think I might know why. Here's what he said. He said, Baby, can you please start your period?
Starting point is 01:07:33 So, yeah. I need you to concentrate here. I know you've been holding off because we have that big meeting on Friday with the period police. I want you to turn off the TV, shut your eyes, and really concentrate on this.
Starting point is 01:07:48 I know you're afraid that if you have it, they won't let you on a plane. They won't let you train that bear. Yeah, or get on that shark tank. Or go swimming. Or be an undercover cop at the eBay.
Starting point is 01:08:02 An undercover cop with a white pants squadron. With the leisure suits. Wow. Then he's requesting it. I've submitted it in written request. I have emailed it. You're giving me nothing but red tape.
Starting point is 01:08:18 No pun intended. That's what ladies call it, right? I'm all tied up in red tape I got a visit from Ant Tape I'm all wrapped up in a red ribbon Periods Yeah, periods everybody Mother Nature
Starting point is 01:08:38 Hey Dave and Graham And possible guest It's Katie from Minnesota And I have an overheard that my roommate told me about. She works in the school in North Minneapolis, and she works mostly with the fifth graders and troubled youths. And today she told me about a teacher that she works with
Starting point is 01:08:59 who she overheard admonishing a student who I guess had gotten into a lot of trouble that day. Yeah, the teacher had just about enough of it, so she said to the kid, from here on out, I want to be on you like a bee on a turd. I don't think I've ever heard that before, but I guess you can't say, like, stink on shit to a fifth grader, so bee on a turd it is. Well, that kid's going to be completely backwards on the pollination process
Starting point is 01:09:30 for probably most of her life. Or for the rest of it, like, 20 years later, he's going to be, like, thinking of it and be like, wait a minute, I've never seen a bee on a turd. She was saying she was going to leave me alone if I kept fucking around. God damn it! Why was I so uneducated? Do you remember? Education, get some.
Starting point is 01:09:46 The more you know. He's going to tour schools and tell that story. He'll be like, don't be like me. 20 years later, regretting your entire life. I could have screwed around so much. Do you remember when you were a kid and you were in school and you'd get in a lot of trouble? Yeah. Like more than once a day?
Starting point is 01:10:05 Yeah. That's why she just, like, more than once a day. Yeah. I don't know if, like, when I was in elementary school, I remember one time I was, maybe it was like grade two or grade three, and you were sitting in those desks where the chair is connected to the desk by a metal. Yeah. Well, some of the, later on, your chair's not. University. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:24 No, that's the one I'm thinking of. Something's just still connected there. But I was sitting in the desk, and I was horsing around. The teacher was not interested and kept yelling at me. But for some reason, I was on a real hot streak. I was getting some really good laughs. Yeah, keep going. I just let it ride.
Starting point is 01:10:47 So I just kept going. And the teacher, I think, had one of those moments, probably one of those moments when you explain to a judge where you're like, everything went black, where the teacher grabbed my desk and pushed me and the desk through the classroom and out the door into the hallway. I was sitting in the desk. So pushed and out the door into the hallway. I was sitting in the desk.
Starting point is 01:11:06 So pushed the whole unit out of the class. He said, you're not coming back and slammed the door. It would have been amazing if you'd kept going in the hallway and all the janitorial staff gathers around you. They're like, woo, woo, woo. Like cheering you on. Let's race them. He's going on tour.
Starting point is 01:11:21 And they just push you into a geography class and you just keep ripping. Chicken fights. You just see through that top glass in the window all these toilet paper rolls flying through. What's the most trouble you ever got in in school, Kevin? One thing that's close but so fucking dumb. I was a pretty big goody two-shoes in school. And there was a time in high school I was afraid of trouble. Just getting in trouble, getting spoken to
Starting point is 01:11:47 by an authority figure was terrifying. And so I basically discovered music the year before. And this was like grade 8 or something. And I was in Madame Berube's French science class. And I was looking around and I was like, around and i was like
Starting point is 01:12:05 fuck it i'm gonna let everyone know how awesome i think green day is i don't have a podcast i don't have a blog i'm gonna write it on this desk and i wrote green day rules and like the tiniest writing in like ballpoint pen that you could have licked your thumb and been like gone history of, gone. The history of Kevin's fandom of Green Day erased forever. You really like that hidden track about masturbating. Dookie, dookie. So, yeah,
Starting point is 01:12:34 I got in trouble. I got sent to the principal or something. Your student career went kerplunk. Oh, my God. Oh, you like that song about masturbation? Why do you masturbate in front of the entire class? You love it so much. And I went, I don't want to.
Starting point is 01:12:53 And then she's like, what are you doing? And I just stood up from a desk already masturbating. Yeah, Katrina LeMay donor boner. Did she make you wash all the desks that was that was the big punishment in my school i think it was something like that like really like stay yeah get some comet and stay late and wash all the desks i remember one time i had to wash a desk and uh did you ever have those desks that had like a little divot where you put a pencil yeah yeah yeah well no like there was somebody i know who had like you know purposely
Starting point is 01:13:26 made it super black yeah and so i just spent the entire time of cleaning desks getting the black out so when the person came back it was like shiny like wood again so angry because that was like a year's worth of blackening they had done yeah but i don't like that the most i had ever gotten in trouble was uh our teacher No, our principal. Not Mr. Richardson, his replacement. We're going way back. We're doing all my elementary school principals. Mr. Richardson left in grade three.
Starting point is 01:13:56 In grade four through seven, we had Mr. Talmanus. Okay. And he was like this big, bald, tough guy. And he would just point at you with his middle finger if you were in trouble pointing you with the middle finger then switch the middle finger up like he was giving you the finger whoa and he would just beckon you over oh he knew what he was doing yeah oh he knew man oh man that guy sounds like a cartoon villain and he uh bald with a huge beard and just mean looking.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Yeah. But his name on all the forms he would send home, like the announcements to your parents, he would sign it Andy Talmanis. And I just thought Andy was so funny. And in grade five, once he came into our class and I just went, hey, Andy. And he was not having it. Yeah. He gave you the double barrel finger
Starting point is 01:14:46 come over here we had a talk in the hallway what kind of a talk is that don't call me Andy something about respect we spoke earlier about respect I forgot what I had to do it's hard to respect him when the I in his last name
Starting point is 01:15:02 is signed with a little heart he's one of those people yeah he was a It's hard to respect him when the I in his last name is signed with a little heart on top. He's one of those people. Yeah, he would say, Andy, sweet as candy. Would be his sign-off on his email. Overheards. All right. Hi, this is Mary from Los Angeles, and I have an overheard. It's from a couple of years ago, but I love this story.
Starting point is 01:15:20 A few years ago, I was doing a midnight bike ride through L.A. with this kind of like outlaw biker club. Anyway, that's a whole other story. We're riding down the streets, and suddenly these two guys come up next to me, and they're kind of stoner-looking guys, and they're having this quasi-philosophical discussion. And then one guy says to the other, dude, you know what would make this conversation so much better? And the other guy says, you know what would make this conversation so much better? And the other guy says, no, what? And the first guy says, if we finished it when we were high. Right.
Starting point is 01:15:52 And then they stopped talking. I thought it was hilarious. So love your show. Thanks. What happens is they smoke weed. Put a pin in it. They smoke weed, and then they just forget the conversation entirely. What was that conversation we were having?
Starting point is 01:16:03 I'm starving. What if there was a t-shirt made of pizza you get the rolling pin i think that's the uh drug equivalent to what graham and i do which is whenever he's telling me a good story you're like save it for the podcast and then we forget because we're so high on the drugs totally hdB this place. Hot dogs. Oh, not the pencil gauge? Nope. Hello, this is Jane from Chicago with an overheard.
Starting point is 01:16:38 While I was waiting for the train this morning, the L, I overheard a guy telling another guy about his dream the night before. He said he had a dream that was better than Avatar. And in the dream, Daniel Day-Lewis was the star.
Starting point is 01:16:59 That's it? That's it. So basically this guy was dreaming about Avatar but better acted No I was going to say there will be blood I was like you were just dreaming about a better movie Than Avatar starring Daniel Day-Lewis My avatar's left foot
Starting point is 01:17:13 Last of the Mohicans is kind of like Avatar Yeah You've seen Avatar right? It's basically the same Get ready I don't There's going to be a sequel What is the sequel going to be about? It's basically the same. Get ready. There's going to be a sequel.
Starting point is 01:17:28 What is the sequel going to be about? I hope it takes another 12 years. I hope I'm dead. Oh, yeah. God. I'm not looking for... It's going to be in 4D. I have a similar movie overheard where I was in a cafe and this guy was talking about movies. And it's one of those things where the guy does not realize his own volume.
Starting point is 01:17:44 And so he's taking over the entire cafe like no matter what conversations you're having cafe that's where that expression comes from these guys are usually the biggest idiots where they don't they misquote things where he's like he's like oh have you seen he's talking about the road right and then he's like basically like describing it's supposed it's all about about big o martin it's all about... About Viggo Mortensen. It's all about compassion. It's basically about compassion and teaching his kid how to kill people.
Starting point is 01:18:13 It's like Zombieland. I'm like, I don't think that's it. And then he's like, have you seen No Country for Old Men? And they're like... That's the thing. He's so loud that you can't hear that he's talking to anybody else. Because they're all talking at normal volume. So he's like, no country for old men? Brilliant movie.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Brilliant movie. There's a psychopath played by Benicio Del Toro that's just so crazy. And it's Javier Bardem. He just names some other kind of stridey ethnic guy or whatever. Played by Penelope Cruz. We can see him pinching the bridge of his nose under his tiny, small circle glasses, being like, so brilliant. So many people do not appreciate cinema.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Blowing smoke up his own... You know it's 24 frames per second. Blowing smoke up his own 666 rude to Satan. I was watching this thing that a guy had put together, kind of a highlight reel of clips of movies of the 2000s. And it dawned on me that Nicholas Cage is the one actor that has been absolutely brilliant in half of his films and in the other half utterly unwatchable.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Because they show clips from Adaptation and Matchstick Men. That's the one that came to mind. I can't think of any others. What's Matchstick Men? Have youation and Matchstick Men. That's the one that came to mind. I can't think of any others. What's Matchstick Men? Have you ever seen Matchstick Men? It's him and Sam Rockwell. And Alison Lohman. Yeah, and he's great in it.
Starting point is 01:19:34 He's been great in a lot of things. He was great in Lord of War. And then he's... I haven't seen the sequel to Bad Lieutenant, but I heard he's insane in it. Lord of War was a movie he did in, oh, 2005, 2006. And it had the Jeff Buckley version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, which we mentioned. Oh, that was in that? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:57 Okay. When his life's falling apart. And I had never heard the song before, and I was like, wow, it's a great movie. That was the year i discovered music and green day you're like nicholas cage rules uh so that's it for overheards but we got uh we have a couple calls uh what well i know we got drunk dialed you said we got drunk really oh my god are we gonna do we get to hear it let's play that let's play that is there gonna be a theme song for drunk dials oh yeah do you there gonna be a theme song For drunk dials

Starting point is 01:21:04 Yeah, there was a good chunk in there. There's some chunks in there. My favorite was that you started it and said, just kidding, after the second line. And then continued. Oh, continued, yeah. You tried and stopped kidding after a while. Stopped kidding.
Starting point is 01:21:15 If you put his voice through the sound effect of calling through a phone, that would even be... Don't tell me how to do my job. Hey, I'm just saying. You could auto-tune me. Put me in some pitch Hello, Stop Podcasting Yourself This is Arden from Chicago

Yeah. It was like smack dab in the middle. No, people cruise up to Alaska and they take a train around and stuff like that. Wow.
Starting point is 01:23:12 It's basically like old people's journey of realization that they're so old. That they enjoy cruising. They enjoy cruising, but they don't enjoy a rocky terrain, rough, unhewn Alaska. Unhewn. The Ulu knife is the thing it's kind of like a rounded blade I have one at home for killing

Starting point is 01:23:48 Well, you have to see this thing. It's a hockey team, and they came up with this video as an intro before the team skates out on the ice. And the first one I don't really remember is a polar bear flying in outer space. No, it's fucking a bear. This one takes it to another level. Oh, wow. Where it blows up the whole planet. Really?

Starting point is 01:25:20 And so that's why he's been in prison. And his brother has succeeded. So is this like the West Wing or is it like Fresh Prince of Bel- It's like Fresh Prince of Bel- Okay. Sounds like the West. It sounds dramatic. It's like he comes back and it's all dramatic.
Starting point is 01:25:32 It's the West Wing! So here's a call about that. Oh. Hey, Graham and Dave. This is Andy from Los Angeles. On your last podcast, you were talking about Flava Flav and his sitcom so I thought I'd call in because I worked on that sitcom I was a sort of stand-in for the role of Walter Jr. of the Sun for the table reads so basically what that means is I have acted in rehearsal scenes Wow. this guy was another stand-in and he was reading for one of the other roles and he whenever he
Starting point is 01:26:28 referred to Flava Flay's character he would call him little Cal but it was typed out in the script it was spelled out as a capital L I apostrophe L so whenever read it, he would read it as Lie One Cal. And everybody was cracking up every time he said it. And he did not catch on. He read it as Lie One Cal for the entire episode. So everybody thought that was really funny. Except for Flava Flav, who
Starting point is 01:26:59 didn't get it. I love the show, guys. Except for Flava Flav, who was wearing a cake for a hat. Get it. Love the show, guys. Happy 100th day. Who is wearing a cake for a hat? Flavor Flaving It. Flavor Flaving It In. I believe the font where one and lowercase L look the same is Courier. Yeah, that's Courier.
Starting point is 01:27:21 It's the script font. That's what Flavor Flaving It is here. L. Fan of fonts. Oh, I forgot what i was gonna say i'm oh first i want to say is his name andy yeah yeah yeah yeah fuck you andy because i'm here you did not acknowledge the guest yeah actually the guy who called earlier and said um possible guest possible guest if there is a guest last time i called there was no guest That guy didn't even identify himself For shame The second woman she totally hedged her bets She was like Graham and Dave and possible guest
Starting point is 01:27:51 She was on point She was not flavor flaving it in She was down with OPP Did you ever see this show? No Did it ever come to existence? It must have Apparently in both Vancouver and Los Angeles.
Starting point is 01:28:05 That's amazing. We have, well, last episode was our 100th episode, Spectacular. Murder Mystery Spectacular. Spooktacular. What? Spooktacular, sorry. Yeah, you got to listen to it, Kevin. I haven't heard it yet.
Starting point is 01:28:16 Is it probably downloading right now into my iTunes? Probably. We can only imagine. We, we, a listener sent us in $100 for our 100th episode. What? Very nice. William P. from the great state of Illinois, the land of Lincoln. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:36 And we spent that $100 on phone calls from HollywoodIsCalling.com. Which is a service, if you haven't heard, they will send your message to Hollywood Star and they will call your phone number with said message. So we had Lou Ferrigno, the Incredible Hulk, call us in and wish us more incredible years. Yeah, and Russell Johnson, the professor from Gilligan's Island. Who went off script. We told him... That's Island. Who went off script. We told him.
Starting point is 01:29:05 We told him. That's right, he did. Yeah, we gave him. You get to write a little script for them. But you're not allowed to broadcast it or profit from it or anything. So we had to just say we were having an anniversary. And we couldn't mention our podcast in it. So we just said, happy anniversary, Dave and Graham.
Starting point is 01:29:23 And so Russell Johnson, the professor from Gilligan's Island, we told him, hey Dave and Graham, according to my readings, you're having an anniversary. He was doing a cold read. He just went off script. He also said, God bless you.
Starting point is 01:29:39 He's very kind. Yeah, he's 85 years old. I looked it up. He probably just thinks we're a homosexual couple who are having an anniversary. I'm sure everyone did. Yeah. But we also... We should have left our outgoing message where it was like you and I doing one word each. Hey, this is Dave and Graham.
Starting point is 01:29:58 Like a little sound effect. Ding-a-ling-a-ling. Talk. Yeah. Because homosexuals have horrible tastes in common. No, no just just really for just making it funny that's all yeah yeah yeah no it's real funny kevin um get out horn it's funny clowns have been using it since clowns are funny um i'm sorry i'm we're friends yeah
Starting point is 01:30:19 but depressed but oh um we had a third phone call that we didn't include because we didn't know how reliable the service that HollywoodIsCalling.com is. Yeah, so we hedged our bets. Yeah, and we made three requests. And so we have this third call. It's by Warrington Gillette. Who's that? He played Jason in Friday the 13th Part 2. And Warrington Gillette is a very posh name in its own.
Starting point is 01:30:54 Very. Oh, very much. So we'll just play that right now. Yep. Hi, this is Warrington Gillette. I'm calling for Dave and Graham. Hello, Graham and Dave. This is Warrington Gillette,
