Episode Date: April 19, 2011

Steve Bays of Hot Hot Heat returns to talk dancing robots, hidden cameras, and bank robbing.  Also, a gender-bending Stuntcasting session.

Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Woo! Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 162 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who I think would make a pretty swell Cake Boss Cake, Mr. Dave Shumka. Yeah, I would make a tribute to Cake Boss Cake. I would make it out of cereal treats, which is what he calls Rice Krispie Treats because they apparently can't say Rice Krispies. Cereal treats and...

Fondant. And... Modeling chocolate? Correct. Okay. The three pillars of every awesome cake. Oh, also some cake. They really just gloss over the cake on that show.

Some cake at the base. Yeah, buttercream frosting. Yeah, but then fondant. Buttercream frosting. And our guest this week a return guest funny gentleman and a recording artist of the musical persuasion Mr. Steve Bays is our guest thanks for having me

well thank you for coming back two times yeah right how do you feel about it I'm extremely honored you're over the moon it's a bit superfluous but when I come back for the fifth time then I'll be extremely... You'll be a regular Alec Baldwin.

I'm honored to be here, though. Slash. Speaking of him, I watched 30 Rock last night, so I couldn't sleep. Well, that's not... You say that in kind of an insulting way. No, no, no. I only watched it because I couldn't sleep. No, no, no.

Wait a second. Let's get to know us. Yeah. Get to know us yeah get to know us all right go ahead this is my get to know us yeah you're watching 30 rock because you couldn't fall asleep at 10 o'clock yeah and uh you you resorted to watching watching 30 rock the worst show in the history of television television. I think of it as like the arrested, people learn from arrested development, like, okay, we can't cancel this show. We're gonna regret it. You know, I think it's a good show.

But it's so dark. Have you noticed that? I mean, this makes for awful radio. Or internet streaming. We are streaming live, so there's no... No, but I mean, it's physically dark. I think maybe to cover up her aging or something

it takes a swing and Tina Fey right out of the gate I'm just guessing I think it might be your TV she's beautiful an uppercut to America's sweetheart this guy doesn't care who he rolls over oh man have you seen her on the cover of the magazine Yeah. This guy doesn't care who he rolls over. Oh, man.

Have you seen her on the cover of the magazine? I want to say it's called In Style. Is that a magazine? That's a magazine. It's the... You could combine any two words and it would be a magazine. Outhouse? Yep.

War Pigs? War Pigs. Yeah, sure. That's a newsletter. That wasn't me dissing tina fey by the way um it is the one of the worst kind of photoshop jobs i've ever seen on the cover of like a not zine thing or not like uh you know posted on reddit here's a dumb internet you know photoshop thing i did like it's on the you know in style

is a real magazine it wasn't a iphone done epic fail pic uploaded in low res it wasn't uh using the hipstamatic app hey oh what no i'm just kidding i'm i'm pretty i'm pretty burnt on it as well that's the for anybody who doesn't know is that the It makes it look like a Polaroid picture It puts a filter on it Makes everybody look like a hippo It's kind of ruined me on that look I find You notice that now when you see a photo with that filter on

Even if it's an authentic photo from the 70s Yeah It's still kind of fun when you see it When I see photos of my mom as a child I'm like oh oh, God. Yeah. Mom, that's so six months ago. She puts Helvetica font on it.

Oh, no. Oh, that typewriter font from your old school journals. That's so played, Mom. So, Tina Fey is aging. Yeah, fey is aging one day at a time um uh yeah well actually you guys i wish you guys had seen this in style cover because it looks like she's missing a tooth on the cover oh really yeah which isn't that's not great right i like i like missing a tooth i like uh i used to when I used to read a lot of magazines when I was really young and before computers were so good uh they would actually go to a photoshop

and they would cut up pictures and paste them onto whatever their proofs and um you could tell like if they did a bad job like physically with the scissors right in the magazine i remember there was one uh a hockey magazine and it was like i was obsessed with hockey and uh this was like the fifth uh echelon of good magazines like it was the cheapest was it the beckett price guy no that that's a good magazine. Yeah. This one was like, not even glossy. It was like newsprint. Oh, yeah.

I remember there being one player. And clearly, he just had, his head was torn. But they still put it in the magazine. Well, I'm glad that we've gone, as a society, gone past the point where everyone adds bevel and boss and drop shadow to every single layer on Photoshop. Oh, yeah, you got it. Yeah. Otherwise, how do you hide all the physical imperfections? It used to be like that, though.

Every sign in every restaurant, every menu had like... The drop shadow? The drop shadow. Like, all the corners were rounded. There was a glow. Word art. I miss clip art. Oh, yeah.

I wish I would see that on a menu. A guy. Chef making eggs. Yeah, a guy at a desk. I was invited to a wedding recently, and the invite had a series of mismatched icons from the old clip art book from the past is this intentional or unintentional? I gotta be careful what I say, I don't want to insult, they may be listening

but yeah, just so you turned down the wedding in the end I ended up not going not unrelated to the clip art you thought the girl was looking older she was aging can we start

this is as good as it gets Steve Bays of Hot Hot Heat low blows I was just saying did either of you guys when you were kids did you read wrestling magazines at all or was that

I wouldn't say I read them I checked out yeah sure Bam Bam Bigelow was a hot figure and Luna Vachon I read the articles

yeah well it was great because I would if that was still a job I would like that job where you have to write it as if it's a sports article about a thing that's not a sport. Like you have to recap all the matches and stats. You gotta say stats. So and so is a jabroni. Yeah, combining one thing fake and making it real.

Yeah. Sounds like a lot of fun. Yeah. Like if you were a music journalist that had to present it like it was like statistical science. Yes. Like something like that. Just combining two things. Well, it's like Mean Gene Okerlund.

Is the announcer. Yeah. He had to do that in his brain on the fly. Yeah. Real time. live yeah yeah and uh it's it's it's an art because if you've seen uh like the amateur league guys they don't know how to make it sound like it's a sport when they know what the outcome is gonna be um i don't know if you've seen the one where the guy hypnotizes his opponent and everybody break dances is that in the ring so is this what's this is this what is this a new one no this was

this was a like from one of those you know, like the regional lower level wrestling. Yes, I have seen that. And the guy says, this is the most illegal thing I've ever seen. And what happens is in the middle of the match, this guy's signature move is to hypnotize his opponent. And then the opponent has to start dancing like a robot. And everybody starts dancing like a robot. It's great. And the ref, he started dancing like a robot.'s great and the ref he started i think we take

for granted that that's how robots would dance yeah it's just how we would dance if we were robots yeah that's how we would infiltrate their army if they took over the world we would do a robot dance yeah their big ball i mean and then kill the only example we have of robots is Asimo, right? And isn't there some other Japanese that has a woman's face? It's really super creepy. Tina Fey. Why is this happening? Can we do it again?

All I know of Asimo is it can't walk upstairs without falling. But can it dance? I think it does a dance, but it's not the robot dance. Well, no, the only dancing robot I know is the Pepsi can that dances. Oh, and isn't there like a flower? Yeah, the Ray-Bans. Johnny Five danced. The hipster flower. In Short Circuit.

Yeah. I saw this... Robocop, he dances, doesn't he? There was a documentary about these terrifying new robots that are being made all over the world. Oh. And now all of our armies are just going to be robots. Hmm. Yeah, I think it's a.

Will Smith. What's that? Is it a Will Smith? No, it was a documentary. It was like, it was just on CBC. Will Smith documentary. Double weeks ago. And have you seen that?

There's this internet video of this one robot. It's just got four legs, and all it does is stay standing up. And you can kick it, and it'll stumble, but it'll keep its balance. It can also walk over rocks and stuff. They put it on a rocky trail trail and it knows how to navigate around objects yeah it's very terrifying have you seen the spider robot that they bring out it's made here in vancouver and it's huge and you can sit in it and looks like a spider i've sat in it what yeah that thing is it's freaky i the fact that it doesn't work super well makes me like

you could drive to work right well you could but you'd be late every day if it was faster it would be the ideal vehicle how big is it uh would it fit in a lane of uh of traffic yes but barely it would have to be in a large parking spot or it could spider up on two other cars and just stay on top i think that would be good because you know you you wouldn't get as much body damage. Yeah, that's true. But you would have a lot of ICBC or insurance claims. Well, no, would you, though?

Yeah, because when you... My spider was sideswiped by another spider. Oh, you mean if everybody was driving spiders. Oh, see, totally. There'd be less damage if you bumped into another spider. You wouldn't have to take it to an auto body shop or... It's true. If someone broke into your spider.

Sure. Is there a car called a spider? No, I think spider is like an omnibus... Porsche. Porsche spider. I think it's like an omnibus term for, like, a convertible roadster thing. Oh, is that right? Yeah. Oh, okay.

So this guy would have to find a new name for his spider car. Yeah. A tarantula, if you will. Yeah, sure. But if it was a convertible, it could be a spider spider. Oh, it's convertible. Yeah, there's no roof on it. So it's a spider spider.

Yeah. Hmm. Pretty good. Convertible spider. I think I used to draw pictures of them as a child, actually. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Of like...

Both kinds of spiders, but specifically the Alfa Romeo. A spider driving a spider, actually. Oh, yeah? Both kinds of spiders. A spider driving a spider? Right. A spider and Spider-Man driving in a spider. I finally understood your tweet, Dave. I upside-down Spider-Man kissed my dog yesterday

and I was thinking about your tweet. Yeah, it's a good way to do it. Do you have to have some mask on or something? I can't remember if I was thinking about your tweet. Yeah, it's a good way to do it. What, do you have to have some mask on or something? I can't remember if I was upside down or he was. Was he wearing a Spider-Man mask? No, he was upside down. His head was hanging off the tip of the bed. And then I pulled down his lips.

He's got big dog lips. You think they'll try and duplicate that scene in the forthcoming reboot of the Spider-Man series? Because that was like the best scene, right? Wasn't that the big scene? Oh, yeah, that was it. Is there a point in redoing that? Or was it done to perfection?

If it looked like reboot, it could do well. The first computer animated series? If they added a sexual tension to that show, I think it could have some legs. Spider-South. But yeah, I was back to me. Yeah, please.

I took, like I was telling you guys, I took a dog obedience class for the first time because i just got a dog ah rigby who i'm really excited about what kind of dog is he uh we don't know but he's like uh he's smaller he's not like a small small chihuahua but he's like a chihuahua mixed with something i don't know Maybe a toy fox terrier or something like that. I don't know what that is. It sounds great. I've seen pictures.

He looks like a delight. Yeah, he's a very handsome fellow. He looks like a puppy lap. He doesn't quite look like a chihuahua. He looks like a newborn, but he's full size. And how was dog obedience school? It was great, except for that my favorite things things which were i would encourage him to walk on his hind legs all the time sure and so i would always reward him for doing that make him wear a

bow tie yeah sure and then the other thing was i loved that he would was always licking me like he was always just jumping jumping on the bed and just like like in the middle of the night jumping on the bed and i thought it was funny every time yeah and he would crawl under the covers and he would always be like licking our face and stuff and a lot of dog obedience uh trainers say just as long as you're having fun then it's good yeah they they told me that you need to be the boss all the time yeah and uh well she told me this and um sounds like she was the boss of you yeah i mean who is the boss i don't know but i have to be the boss and i can't encourage I mean, who is the boss? I don't know. But I have to be the boss and I can't encourage him from standing on his hind legs.

Yeah. I can't encourage him to jump on the bed or to lick me. Because when he licks you a lot, it means that he's the boss. Right. So you lick him to show him who's boss. Yeah. Right. You jump on his bed. Yeah. you jump on his bed our dog obedience teacher one thing that

she said was if you wanted something to cuddle with you should have just got a teddy bear and that's something Abby always repeats and remembers that she was way off on I think the whole point of having a dog is to cuddle with them.

I mean, when I'm home, I spend most of my time just chilling. Like, I'm not... No, I'm on your side. Yeah. I don't have a side. I don't have a dog. I imagine I would cuddle with it if I wasn't allergic to it. They're so cuddly.

Oh, are you allergic to dogs? I am, yeah. So, I... I don't cuddle dogs. I went many years not being a dog person, so it's not the end of the world, but this is my first three weeks, four weeks of it, and I'm seeing the world through new eyes.

It's crazy. They're colorblind. I went to a dog park today, and there's a lot of rude dog owners oh you notice that uh yeah i think there's a lot of people in general really you're one of the rude dog owners i don't care about other people's dogs sure is that a part of etiquette that you have to care about other people's is that what what was rude about these jerks well i was we were talking there's also a lot of nice dog owners too i realized i like i there's a lot of half nice half rude people as well um but uh and she was she was telling us

about how her dog's 18 which is about 100 human years and uh he can like barely stand but he can buy porn he can probably vote yeah He's gonna vote kibble in the upcoming election. But yeah, and then another dog came up and was like freaking her dog out. And somehow they got in an argument and this guy was like, because she said oh, can you call your dog? And he's like

you don't have to be rude about it. You don't have to like scold me. And she's like this old woman said it with a smile and yeah but he was the boss of that situation yeah i guess yeah she's not getting into his bed is that how it works i forget i haven't seen who's the boss in a long time um but you're you're uh you're seeing the world through brand new eyes. Puppy dog eyes. Dog's eye view.

Yeah. Do you remember their hit? Was it Pause and Play? No, it was... Pause Off? It might have been called Everything Falls Apart. Something Falls Apart. Is this a real thing?

Yeah, Dog's Eye View. One hit wonder from the mid to late 90s. Sort of in the uh better than ezra era i remember i remember dogs better than air you remember dog what dog star kiana reeves oh yeah yeah and that's that's the name of our that's the name of our obedience company what dogs you go to dog star yeah is that where you went to? I forget. But I was really opposed to getting a dog. And then it kind of fell.

It's like a rescue dog, right? So it was just kind of one of those. Classic Hollywood story. The dog wants to be a dog and you don't want to be a dog owner. And then the dog finds out that what it wants is to be a human. And you hate dog owners. See? And it turns out he's a robot yeah he's a robot dog and you've been doing the wrong type of robot dance all along and spider car into the sunset fate to block yeah do robot programmers program their robots when they program them to dance so they program them to dance like humans doing the robot or just like humans?

No, they just play them that Herbie Hancock song and let them do whatever feels natural. Sure. Rock it. What song is that? Dun-dun, dun-dun, dun-dun-dun-dun. That was Dog's Eye View. That's not Axl F?

No. Oh, okay. Totally wrong. Yeah. They're similar. Different robot-esque. Yeah. I always mix that up with the

Chica Chica as well. Who does that? The Twix song. Yellow is called Oh Yeah. Oh really? If you did a medley of that song

and Axl Laff and the Herbie Hancock song. And Funky Town. Wait a minute. It had the robot, won't you take me to Funky Town? Why dream it when you could just do it? Yeah,

use your sampler. If I could find the time. If you could clear the samples. If I do that can it fit into this podcast before air date yes yeah okay yeah challenge made all right challenge accepted uh i'm gonna look forward now i'm gonna be quiet and thinking the rest of the podcast you're like how does that go together it'll all work out fine i'll make it work dave what's new with you and your robot well uh, I don't have a robot

I don't know if you know that about me A lot of people presume I have a robot I'm presumed innocent, robotsent Sentient Thumbs down on all accounts Well, not a lot's going on with me You can tell when I was cut out If you hadn't laughed at that

Well, not a lot has been going on with me. Okay. Okay. Last night I was watching TV. Tina Fey was looking old. No, I was watching, I've talked about this show on our podcast before. It's a show called What Would You Do? Oh, right.

The hidden camera show. Yeah, they hide cameras and they hire actors to kind of have these weird social situations. And then onlookers either look at them or they intervene in some way. And, you know, what would you do? at them or they intervene in some way and you know what would you do so it's like a mother yelling at her kid or it's um construction workers hitting on a woman two dog owners yelling at each other in the park yeah sure um what would you do steve uh i don't know i i know what jesus might do um and uh so last night it was the most ridiculous one I've ever seen. It was the

situation that would never happen in real life. It was like out of a slapstick movie from the 50s. Except that it was about video conferencing. They had a guy. Classic topic. They had a guy in a restaurant, like a

busy restaurant, and he's having a skype video conversation with his wife right and he's supposedly a guy on a business trip and uh he's in this restaurant skyping with his wife and uh the wife and they're like oh isn't this nice oh this was a great thing this was a great thing. This was a great idea. And suddenly the wife starts getting jealous and starts thinking he's having an affair while he's out of town. And the guy takes the computer and spins it around. He's like, see, there's nobody around me. And he picks up the computer and goes over to another table and says, hey, would you tell my wife that there hasn't been anyone here the whole time? And the people are like, yes, he's been here. He's been by himself.

And so they go back to having a conversation on Skype. And then a woman shows up. And he's having an affair with this woman. With just his hand outside of... And so he's made a liar out of all these people. So this woman comes up and they have a date but he doesn't stop his skype conversation and so he literally the wife starts getting suspicious again and he's like no it's fine and he turns the computer over and he

pushes the woman out of the way and the woman's like crouching under the computer and classic betty and veronica scenario and uh then he's company-esque oh very much so yeah he picked up for the 21st century he picks up the computer again and he goes up to the same couple and he says could you please tell my wife that i'm by myself and uh they lie for them. Really? Yeah. Wow. But they're like, I want a cut of that action. Yeah.

I'm next. And then they get paid $100 for every minute that they go. It wasn't a game show. It's not a fun hidden camera thing. Yeah, what do they win if they do the right thing? They get to go on TV and say I did the camera thing. Yeah, what do they win if they do the right thing? They get to go on TV and say I did the right thing. It's like the cheapest game show

in the world. I like the... I definitely... I'm intrigued by the reality based on low values genre. At first, for like an episode or two, like Cheaters was interesting

for a minute. I feel like that show is completely... It's fake. It sucks that reality TV is totally fake now. For the most part. I mean, Cake Boss is real. Yeah.

It's pretty gritty. I like Sarah's House. I don't know what that is. it's pretty gritty yeah i like sarah's house uh i don't know i don't know what that is either it's it's on hgtv which i just i just i that was a test because i know you hate hgtv home and garden television is that right yeah i don't know any of their uh any of their spring lines sarah's house oh it's great how is it a reality show? She just takes houses and puts nice furniture in them and makes them pretty. Which I know you love that whole genre. Well, I just don't get why people want to watch that kind of show. While their house crumbles around them?

Or just in general. Like, you know, when you go over to somebody else's house, you're like... Seems fine. Yeah, exactly. I don't know. Well, I... It seems fine. Yeah, exactly. It seems fine. I don't get to stay here. Why would I care?

It's like one step... Yeah, more than that. Like, at least if you go over to somebody's house, you can sit on their couch. I do think about that a lot, that it is... Smudge their mirrors. It's kind of overrated making your house nice for other people because they come over maybe... You have guests over what? Like, once every six months?

Yeah. And then you live in it the rest of the time like i say don't ever have people over and make it the perfect house for you like i was saying i would like to have all the things around my calendars everywhere around my bed no i i'm not single but but but i would still like to uh have nudie calendars sure but i was thinking it would be cool to have spring loaded, kind of like in a big rig, how they have their little walkie-talkie thing, and they let go of it, and it springs back to the roof, but they can still grab it. So have your remote control, your laptop, your phone, everything on springs from the

ceiling, and then you're just lying in bed. You got a mini fridge beside you. And then, you know, don't invite people over. Yeah, you just slowly blob out. Is that really what happens in Big Rigs? That they pull them down, and then they just spring back up? I just saw Big Rig Doc the other day. Oh, okay, well.

Was it a doc, or was it a show on HGTV? How to make your Big Rig feel like home. Sarah's Big Rig. It's actually a show on pitching. I was testing you guys. Instead of driver seats, he has like a love seat up front that he drives. No, but I think like we're slowly becoming a bit more blobby as time goes on, right? I mean, that's a safe assumption. Yeah.

Oh, definitely. So, I mean, let's just think where is it going what what are our kids going uh in the wally direction where you're just looking at a screen that has yes things and you're just ignoring everything else couldn't agree more so let's just fast forward let's agree let's just go that way let's just do it um you still go to work you still walk you still you know go out and oh no i think walking will become a thing of the past. Really? We've been working on eliminating walking as a thing. Oh yeah. A lot of cities actively don't have any way that you can walk from point A to point B.

Yeah, that's true. That's lava. That's lava. That's lava. Exactly. Only the clothesline is not lava. Yeah. Good luck. Good luck getting to work, sir. Yeah, I don't uh um you walk i see you walking all the time oh yeah i hustle i i every i say hi at you when i see you and then you just kind of like pretend that you don't that's not true that never i'm just kidding

that never happened that didn't happen but i have driven by you and honked. Oh, yeah. I don't. And given me the finger. Yeah. I don't know. When you hear a honk, do you think, do you look over? No. I always pray it's not for me. Why?

Because you're afraid you'll have to do something? Give them a ticket? Well, yeah. I'll think I'm in trouble or... You still have that guilt complex from when you stole candy when you were five. Yeah. And that car honked at you. Well, my parents were killed by a horn.

My uncle touched me with a horn. But it was fine. It was cold. It was like a tuba. Can't do much damage with a tuba. You think so. And you can quote me on that. Even though you didn't say it.

You can't do much damage with a tuba. Steve Baze? If I tweet it before you, before this podcast comes out. That's fine. Be my guest. You wouldn't make my cut. Yeah. No, you do have a tasty cut with your tweet filter.

Sure. I just started a Twitter like a week ago. And I'm learning a lot about myself as well. Yeah? What have you learned? That I'm not very good at tweeting. Sure. I've learned that about myself.

No, you're great. It takes me a lot of effort. Other people seem like they're just effortless at it. It's disgusting. Dave, yeah, is very effortless. Alicia's effortless. Dave is very effortless Alicia is effortless I'd say

Charlie Demers is probably in the upper echelon a little political for me I like though he goes out of his way to always have one for the people that don't understand the politics like me

he'll have a Libya tweet and then he'll have one about, like, stepping on dog poo or something. And I'm like, oh. Something for the common man. Right, right, right, right. This one's for the HDTV crowd. Yeah. Right.

Hey, Graham. Yeah. What's going on with you? What is going on with me? Not too much. I've been sick the last few days, so I watched a lot of television in the evening times. Okay. And I watched a documentary.

How's Tina Fey looking? She's pretty good, if you ask me. I don't know what Steve's talking about. Dittos. No, you guys are gonna go home and you're gonna pull up 30 Rock and it's gonna look so dark. I'm just gonna look at her on the cover of InStyle and wonder where her tooth went. I watched a documentary last

night about the Stopwatch gang have you ever heard that it's like a canadian bank robbing trio that were like the best bank robbers in canadian history canadian gangs get such a stupid name like blood scripts see like c, CP3 They weren't I should clarify They weren't a street gang in the vein of a blood or a crip They were a bank robber They stopwatch gang?

Yeah, that's what the press called them The wet bandits? You'd think they would be smart if they scrapped the gang from their title. The Stopwatch 3? Let's call them the Stopwatch 3. Yeah, because then they might get, you know, booked at South by Southwest. But I guess in the 70s, they pulled off this gigantic gold heist at an airport. And then they robbed banks all over the states and

their signature thing was that they were faster than any bank robbers they would be in and out in under two minutes oh wow um and apparently but like why of all the things that they make films out of in canada how come they don't just make that film because that's a film that i'd watch instead of another movie about enduring sadness. Yeah, like something like where it's just like an awesome movie about three guys who are awesome at being bank robbers and breaking out of prison.

They're awesome at breaking out of prison. The one guy tunneled out of a prison in Arizona through... He tunneled through the wall, went up through the air conditioning tube, whatever, over the warden's desk and spent three months sawing the bars that were at the end of it and then walked out of the prison. He had a bag of clothes waiting out in the yard and he just walked out, hopped in a car that somebody had parked there for him, and he was on the run for like six years after that. How did he, why was he in, were they robbing banks in the States?

Yep. Okay. They were, they were good, they were really good at it in Canada, but there's not as many banks, but in the States you could, they robbed a bank like once a month, they would rob a bank. That time of the month. But yeah, anyways, I'm just saying any uh filmmakers out there i actually just quoted your tweet without the part that explained that's fine

i just said how well how can i edit this out then i just said ragtime but it was a Chopin. Chopin. Chopin. Or a Chopin reference. Joplin. Was it Janice? Scott Joplin.

Where's the edit point here? Joplin. But was it Frederick Chopin? Frederick. Oh man. it wasn't frederick chopin oh man you guys i don't know my i don't know my ragtime penis as well as i used to do you hear what he said ragtime penis yeah that was billy jo Joel's third album. Also.

So, we should make the movie about the stopwatch three. Yeah. But did they use a stopwatch? Yes. Okay. That's why they were. And because what happened. Oh, but also when they showed surveillance footage of them robbing a bank, they were dressed exactly the same as the Beastie Boys in that Sabotage

video. They had glasses and fake funny beards and awesome helmet hair kind of wigs. Oh, so they were like 70s retro? Yeah, 70s retro in the late 70s. It was hard to get a good wig back then. But what I see so

often in bank robbing movies is that something will go wrong in the bank robbery. Or like someone will fly off the handle. Yeah. And that would really jeopardize the two-minute mile that they need to do. Yeah. I think one of them... You need to really be on the same page.

Oh, yeah. And be like, sometimes we're not going to make that much money. Yeah. Right. It's going to be a weak month. And sometimes it's, guys, we're going to, you know, like, we got to stick together here. It's going to be some lean times, some good times. The important thing is we're in this together. We love each other.

Yeah. And we're robbing banks. We're robbing banks, just like we thought we would when we were kids. You need to be tight bros, is what you're saying. Yeah. Well, if one falls out of the equation and sells the other two out that's it no more bank robbing for anybody right except the guy who sold the other guys yeah he can rob some banks still till he gets caught it it must be tough because uh it's hard to get

three good people that are together in the circle of people working a legal job yeah yeah so if you're the kind of person that's into crime, you're already going to be kind of unstable, emotional, sensitive. There's no honor among thieves. Right. These guys never sold each other out, but they did eventually when they got split up for jail terms and then got out at different times and kind of went solo on the robbering circuit.

And their solo work was never as... It was never as good as the... Did they ever reunite? No, they never reunited. But people, it seems like... Oh, I want to go to the Stopwatch 3 reunion. It's like... Oh, but they got that new guy, though.

Yeah. He's like super young. He's all LA. He's Filipino. Yeah, he uses pepper spray instead of a gun it's gross but he was he uses a digital stopwatch

they're a techno band now but it seems like people like bank robbers yeah he was invited to a lot of really kind of high class uh parties and stuff like to just stay away from the hope diamond yeah yeah yeah like they they set it up oh man this guy's gonna rob it so good you got it went to a lot of unveiling new art yeah type of parties

way in industries unveing another ruby. The world's most secure safe. And he's like, guys, I keep telling you, I'm a bank robber. I don't know. I don't know nothing about no arts. I'm not a heist guy. I don't know. I don't got a fence. That's why you need a fence.

This is the Italian job. Now there's a lot of different kinds of crime. Was it that back in the day you had to make a decision like,'m gonna be a bank robber and then like study it or do you fall into it because now you fall into crime usually because of drugs whereas back then you couldn't really get your hands on there were drugs involved with these guys but the like the greatest thing about it it doesn't seem like the motivation that's what i miss like the motivation was wealth now the motivation is just to get through the night it wasn't even wealth they just enjoyed they said it was like the most fun that you could have was robbing bank like

with your clothes on right guys no oh they were naked too they only wore stopwatches wigs um and they would they would bungee jump at the end there uh and they wore the uh nixon masks so they were adrenaline junkies is what you're saying yeah and that was their drug yeah of choice do you think they might have just had something wrong with their adrenal glands yeah maybe maybe that could have been hyperthyroid Yeah, they did have big swollen necks. Is that hyperthyroid? That is, yeah. But the thing that was great in the documentary was everybody who talked about them, like the law enforcement that chased them down and the FBI guys and the prison wardens that all knew them,

when they talked about them, they all smiled like that Boys Will Be Boys kind of way. Yeah, right. They were like, oh, is a they really knew what they were doing robbing them banks it's a really fun crime if no one gets hurt well that's true yeah and nobody ever got uh killed in these uh so you know we can all enjoy these a lot of people got shot in the kneecap yeah a lot of people lost their shoulders that's see i i've been watching all netflix docs and they're all depressing. I can't find good stuff.

I couldn't sleep till 5 a.m. because I watched Maxed Out on Netflix, which is about debt. Oh, that's not as fun. I was like, I got to do a podcast in the morning. I just got declined. But yeah, I findu documentaries are kind of depressing not this one this one was great well there was some depressing stuff in it but what i took away from it was bank robbing is great i also find that most documentaries are like 45 minutes too long you like a quick 15 minute expose i like a 45 minute Except well done ones that are kind of fun

Like American movie I couldn't wait until the bonus features Came out on the DVD Yeah yeah yeah Coven Which was about 45 minutes too long Oh yeah yeah I'm sure I didn't see that

My favorite part of that movie Was when one of the actors in the movie, within the movie, was like, you know, the word is pronounced coven. And he's like, yeah, that rhymes with oven. I'm not calling my movie coven. I like the umlaut, but it's pretty metal. Also, update on the harmonica guy who played in the stairwell that we were talking about on the last episode he tried to start up again

the other day and I heard somebody go hey why don't you knock that off so it was a short lived just a couple of bars and I was like man this guy's really going for it and then somebody coming down the stairs said hey I can knock it off I'm getting noise complaints left and right myself.

Oh, really? What are you doing? Rocking out? Just making the documentaries too loud. I'm just cranking these debt documentaries. The Errol Morris is coming through the walls. I'm like the guy in that Maxell ad. No, but I got it for dog barking.

And it was just a note under the door. And it said, dog barking, too long, not good, like in a small font on a big piece of paper, and it was really creepy. That's very ominous. And then my landlord... Sounds like the work of the Riddler. Yeah. My landlord, we've been in this new place a couple months, and he told us that our neighbor's been complaining about us like multiple times a week and I've never listened to music at home just because

I'm like paranoid about that and then I couldn't figure it out because we're not loud people and then one day this week he coughed and it was like I could like hear him right there oh wow so you're just living.

You've been to my place. It doesn't seem like it would be that. No, it looks like it's a thick wall situation. It's not, apparently. And so that kind of bummed me out. And then I just moved my studio. And I got a complaint on the second day of working there. Really?

And he came up and he's like it's like is this is this a recording studio we'll wear headphones like jet like no no negotiation no anything okay we'll have the drummer wear headphones yeah well it makes the loudest noise i don't i don't even do like we don't rehearse till 9 p.m and beyond so like he was just talking about what was coming out of the speakers oh but what was what does he do? There's a web design. Seismic work. My studio's in an old office building. Right.

And I just moved down the hall. And before that, I could make noise all day, every day. So you got a case of some bad neighbors going on. Yeah. In both. So I moved twice in the same month. And both crap neighbors. Stinkaroo.

Yeah. Right? I mean, we could make a sad documentary about that. Yeah. It wouldn't do well. Well, we're 45 minutes in. So now's the part where it's going to start going bad. Well, do you want to move on to some overheards?

Yeah. Overheard. Overheards. A segment in which your ears are used in conjunction with your mouth and your brain and sometimes your hands for dialing a phone or sending an email. And your face for shutting up your face. Shutting up your face so that you can use your ears to listen to other people whose faces cannot shut it up.

And we'd like to start with a guest, who is Steve Bays, and who said that he didn't have one, and then he had one, and then he told it to us in the kitchen. But you have another one, right? I forget what that one was, but this one, it's not even an overheard. It's just, I was eating in a restaurant, and someone gave me, said, the waitress was like, oh, we were just giving these free passes to a movie, and I work tomorrow. Do you want them?

You seem cool. And I was like, it was more because we had an awkward interaction. I think it was to ease the tension. Sure. My bad. You got a hatchet face. sure um my bad but uh but uh hatchet face but i made a tina fey reference but uh so she gave me passes to insidious i don't even know what that is that it's the guy that did Saw and... Eli Roth? Eli Manning? Something... Yeah.

He's got a name. Sure. And enjoyed the film. Oh, really? He did hostile. Well, everyone I was with said it was horrible. And, like, one of my friends even walked out. From a free pass movie.

You really gotta hate it to walk out. I would say research says that it wasn't that great but i i loved it because it was just one of those kind of things where you just shocked all the time and cheap shocks yeah yeah like yeah cat jumps on the counter which i love i'm a big fan of the whole um shock genre yeah um but uh anyway um you're howard stearns so it was in Tinseltown which is you walk by McDonald's on the way

to get to the theater yeah oh yeah and a pizza place right yeah a whole food court and I mean that whole

that whole mall is kind of like a horror movie because it's like a ghost mall that's still living you know what I mean like

it's true half the stores are open but barely like yeah if people uh was there a hologram store there for a while yeah if people who are from vancouver don't know well you wouldn't know uh it's this mall unless you study ghost mods that never had any like half of it is made up of this weird furniture store that has never sold a piece of furniture and then every other uh thing has just been empty.

They maybe have like, you know, jade statues of tigers. It reminds me of the Michael Jackson thing where he's going to that store and he's like... In Vegas. Yeah, everything's painted with gold and it looks really... He buys like a sarcophagus. Yeah, he's like, well, I'll take that. And everything is like

forty thousand dollars too yeah at that one i went to that place in vegas and it's like they're like if you have to ask the price then you can't afford it yeah like that kind of yeah a man's skull um you're getting attitude from the salespeople yeah we're making minimum wage so the mall is really weird and the mcdonald's like literally everyone in line because we said i i had all these free passes and i just texted people meet at the mcdonald's then we'll go to the theater so i was just sitting and waiting at the mcdonald's for a while because they were late i was on time and uh they probably anticipated i would be late like you guys yeah did, which I wasn't. Ah, yeah.

New Year's resolution. And anyway, so every, not joking, I think everyone was on some form of drug. I don't want to stereotype, but I could gas math. Are these your friends? No. Okay. No, no, no. They were like, let's take apart a bicycle.

They've got other demons, but unfortunately, no one in my crowd is on that. Do your friends have literal demons? Does anyone have like a pet demon? Like a Tasmanian demon? I don't know. I think we all have our own vices i wouldn't say demons per se but i call mine matt yeah stop it okay thank you thank you over so a bunch of math guys in line at mcdonald's um yeah like everyone and i remember because uh one of my friends showed up

and he was like oh everyone seems like they're on a tilt. Like they're all like. Like tilted. Like we're on a boat. You know, you were just passing time just observing things, overseeing, overhearing things. And I noticed they had this huge campaign, and like a poster, it was like four or five feet tall, and it was a fish filet, and it just says get hooked we are thanks for rubbing it in and um hey kids it's it's not really an

overheard as much as it's just like it that just seems wildly i enjoyed the whole experience it's not a that's not a slogan that i would i would rock but but they don't they're not know your demographic mcdonald's yeah i think they're trying to get away from that demographic and really the mcdonald's demographic isn't skinny methed out people i mean it's everybody who can afford it isn't that their demographic? I mean not in their ads but listen if you have to ask what the price is you can't afford it like it would be like if

I don't know there's an ad that's running currently I don't know if it's international or not but it is for the Filet-O-Fish and it has two goldfish talking about like the owner is eating a Filet- of fish and it has two goldfish talking about like the the owner is eating a filet of fish and the goldfish are saying like i don't worry about that that's a i'll ask him pollock or whatever they wouldn't that guy's never gonna eat a goldfish

and i was like i wouldn't be surprised if the filet of fish was made out of goldfish yeah that wouldn't shock me um or even just goldfish tail that's not the filet of fish that's wendy's uh fish thing is it really yeah i know that because my uh my favorite fast food thing of all time is this thing that wendy's has like every five years for a month it's this uh chicken with um and they mix it up sometimes it's chicken with uh like monterey jack i'm pretty sure this is a filet because i remember thinking filet of fish is like a really. Sometimes it's chicken with, like, Monterey jacks. I'm pretty sure this is a filet, because I remember thinking filet-o-fish is, like, a really fancy... Because it's the square, right? It's a square thing? It's all a square.

Wendy's is a square thing. Whatever shape they'd choose. But they have this thing at Wendy's every, like, every five years. And it's chicken with bacon and either Asago or um uh um monterey and then like a ranch dressing and it's the greatest thing and they only have it for a month and this year the month was february the shortest month and they even on like february 26th they all they got rid of it and they replaced it with the fish thing and i was so so mad because I went out to get my... I don't understand why companies

don't just do their greatest thing all the time. Like the Granville Island Winter Ale is by far their best beer. It's in the name, Steve. Just call it the... Come on. Vanilla Ale.

See, this is why you guys are paid to think, and I'm paid to sing. Well, sing it. And not paid very much, and I don't sing that well. Sing. Here's five bucks. Sing. Winter ale. So you just named it the same thing.

That's fine. We sang it, though. Like I said, I can't do both. Pretty good, though. I can sing, or I can think. Oh, I wish we weren't laughing over him singing otherwise that would totally be remixed um dave do you have an overheard uh yeah kind of um it's a bit of an overseen a bit of an overheard uh just a fun situation sure um i was on the bus the other

night and it was kind of like, usually the bus is miserable, but it was like the first night when the sun was still out really late. Sure. And it was a really... Kids jumping through sprinklers. Sure. Freezing to death. Slow motion skipping rope.

Yeah. You were having a nightmare. Kids, you know, creepily chanting a nursery rhyme. Come play with me. And there were, I was on the bus, and at the back of the bus where all the burnouts sit, there was this guy and what turned out to be his son, who was, you know, the guy was about in his 50s,

the son was in his early 20s and uh they they were just kind of laughing having a good time uh they really got along it was it was a cool fun environment and then uh it comes time for them to get off and uh it stops at the bus stop and the son gets off and then the uh door closes and the dad doesn't get off and he thinks it's hilarious he's playing this prank on his son that the son will never forget and the son no the son was in his early 20s not like six yeah no the son looked back and was like I like brain stain pranks

And the dad Just laughed the hardest You've ever heard anyone laugh And I really like this guy And no one else was Everyone else was just ignoring him The dad was laughing so hard

And Boring him. The dad was laughing so hard. My son has no idea. Looking for us to join in on the joke. No one cares. He's laughing so hard. He starts giving you a noogie. He bumps this woman who's trying to get by him wearing a walking cast. And then... A walking cast sounds like a fancy old world thing.

It's a cast that you don't need crutches for. You can put weight on. And then at the next bus stop, he doesn't know how to get off the bus. So, like, as soon as his laughter dies down and he realizes everyone is staring at him and not really enjoying uh what's going on uh he's like uh how do you get off the bus yeah how do you ring the thing after he tried to make you sing in canon yeah and so he uh he eventually and you have to just push the bus doors and he did this weird slappy thing with the bus doors. Let me out.

He punked his only lifeline. Yeah, he did. It was a mixture of the TV show Punk'd and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The only two shows I've watched in the last ten years. He punked his only lifeline. I'll reference those a lot throughout this podcast. That would be the greatest thing if somebody on that show used a lifeline to just make a crank call.

That was your whole objective. And then you won a million dollars. You went on that show, made a great crank call. I've seen a behind the scenes thing on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and there's someone who's in charge of calling all the lifelines and making sure they're going to be around in the next hour. Oh, wow.

That's a lot of pressure. Was it a documentary? It was just a behind-the-scenes. It was a featurette. What's the difference? I got the DVDs. It was a featurette. Have you seen season one of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. It was a featurette. What's the difference? I got the DVDs. It was a featurette. Featurette.

Have you seen season one of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? It's an Easter egg. I did watch that featurette, but with director's commentary. Regis was such an attention whore about it. Yeah, Regis was the director. He called the shots on the show. He writes it as well. Through a series of blinks.

It's like the Orson Welles of game shows that he just shows up for. Kaelin, my significant other. Oh, yes. The term is wife. You don't have to say partner. You got married. Yeah.

Isn't it nice to say wife? It is, but I... Doesn't it feel grown up? Doesn't it feel good to pay less? I love saying it, but she loves when I say it more than... You know what I mean? All of a sudden, she loves... What if you called her the wife-a-roni?

How about the old ball and chain? I definitely don't like saying my partner. That feels awkward. That feels like you're either part of a law firm or... I feel like saying my wife what about lover my my lover is that euro i said i call her my lover with my parents at the dinner table lover could you pass the salt i'm legally allowed to call her that now yeah um because you're legally allowed to love her. The way a man

loves a woman. With your wiener. Good work, guys. I just, I find it, I do find it, like, I love saying

my wife with strangers. Like, if I genuinely have to use it. But if I'm in this context where I'm, you know she's my wife. You know she's my wife. I mean, you don't have to use it. But if I'm in this context where I'm you know she's my wife.

You know she's my wife. You don't have to say my wife. You emceed our wedding yet for me to go to you, my wife. It seems like kind of like Borat really ruined marriage for people. Wasn't the thing

I think it was Seinfeld where Yeah, it was the episode where The guy just assumed it was his wife And Jerry says I like saying my wife And Kramer's example is My wife has an inner ear infection That does sound good But yeah I can't help but still say

My lady or something Just more neutral You know what you need to do? Grow up I can't help but still say m'lady or something, like just more neutral. Yeah. You know what you need to do? Grow up. Thanks, Dave. Just call her sis. You're kind of my more advanced in life mentor.

I'm your moral compass. What would you do? I'm going to sit on that one. But what were we talking about? You were talking about your wife. Totally. What was the subject before that? Was it Regis Philbin? Was it director's commentary?

Lifelines? Who wants to be a millionaire? I can't remember. Well, let's move on. Yeah, let's move on. It'll come back to you. I don't have an overheard. All right.

I spent all my time. So can I read an extra one from a listener? No? Okay. All right. Rules are rules. Dave's the enforcer. Well, we want extra. overheard all right i spent all my time so can i read an extra one from a listener no okay all right rules are rules dave's the enforcer well we want much like a judge dread we want extra time because uh we're gonna oh that's right we're gonna do another segment you are correct all right uh so since i uh came up short on the overheard front uh i'm gonna move right along to where people have

sent them in via email if you want to do the same, you can send them to StopPodcastingYourself at gmail.com. And our first one comes actually from a lady that we know, Eliana. Eliana L., who's been kind enough to have written us up on occasion in media publications. Oh, yeah. She has. I was waiting in line with my friend. Specifically Mad Magazine. Yeah, she did an op-ed piece in Mad Magazine.

She called us slot podcasting yourself. Yeah. And you had a fold-in. Yeah, and we were featured in a Don Martin. Our sound effect was splurring. Yep, the we were featured in a Don Martin. Our sound effect was splurring. Yep. The lighter side of Graham Clark. The lighter side of

podcasting. A kaputnik. Graham was smoking a pipe. I was at the doctor's office, wearing my undershirt, etc. on. I was waiting in line with my friend who was doing some banking. When she got to the front of the line,

the teller started making small talk with her and asked her where she worked. My friend told her she worked at the MS Society, which stands for Multiple Sclerosis, to which the teller replied, Oh, wow, do you get sweet discounts? What do you think she thought that the MS Society was? Yeah.

That she thought that the ms society was yeah uh microsoft medicine that literally was that person seeing the lighter side of the scenario lighter side of that actually sounds like a script from a distasteful lighter side of they were all kind of distasteful weren't they well they always ended with the guy with the pipe with his eyebrows slanted way up like what's with hippies uh fact um okay uh this oh sorry oh sorry. This one comes from Adam C. And he's got it right down to a science of where it took place. The below sequence of events was overheard as I rode the Brooklyn-bound L train on Saturday, March 19th at approximately 6.23 p.m. The real X-Files, Lee. Now he's got it all set up for you.

I found myself standing on a crowded subway car next to three lower-level high school-aged boys. Young men. Freshmen, sophomores. Yeah. They're not about to graduate. They've still got some time in the system. The young men, who are gathered in a circle, each eating a bag of churros. Does everybody know what churros are?

I don't know what a bag of them is. You kind of get one, don't you? Yeah, it's like a phallic donut. Perfect. Perfect explanation. One of them said, man, I love churros. His friend, shaking his head, replied, I don't. The first guy responded, what? How can you not love churros?

His friend answered, they look like dicks. All three of them laughed. First guy, yeah, how come all the best foods are shaped like dicks his friend like what the two of them begin listing you've got churros hot dogs corn cucumbers third until now silent friend chimes in dicks and they all begin laughing hysterically. Pretty good. Pretty good, third friend. Also bananas. But those are not the best foods.

I don't know. What are the best foods? The ones that are shaped like dicks. Hot dogs are great. Corn's great. I wouldn't put it in the best foods, though. What about a buttered corn? Unless you're talking about best foods brand corn oh yeah fair enough a buttered corn how else would you eat corn cream uh cream then it's not like a dick popped uh oh yeah oh um turned into a tortilla um maze like a cucumber I wouldn't put up there.

No. What about a cucumber sandwich? What if you were British? The bread and the cream cheese would be the best part. Yeah, I wouldn't. What if you were a cricketer? Like if I had to choose bread, cream cheese, or cucumber, I wouldn't be like, oh, obviously cucumber.

To spend time with on a deserted island. Desert island foods. Oh, man. Coconuts, pineapples. These are generally things found on a desert island. Desert Island oh man coconuts pineapples these are generally things down on Desert Island

this last one comes from Heidi R this is how it starts okay I'll admit I was just

watching Sex in the City 2 in brackets I needed to get something just to pass some time that was guaranteed to be something

my husband wouldn't want to watch with me later fair enough but I didn't understand just quite how Something just to pass some time that was guaranteed to be something my husband wouldn't want to watch with me later. Fair enough. But I didn't understand just quite how bad it would be until I heard the opening song with a line of rap that goes, There were four friends in the city they met, and they always stick together in the city of sex. Oh, wow.

Pretty good, yeah. And then, yeah, she watched the rest of the movie after that which is i saw the movie yeah yeah was there a rap song in the vein of ghostbusters 2 yep forgot about vigo the master of evil trying to battle my boys that's not legal uh there my favorite scene is at the beginning uh there's a gay wedding between Mario Cantone and the other gay character on the show. The bald guy. Baldman. And they never got along on the TV show, but they decided to make them get married in the movie.

Yeah. Just so they could be in it. And Liza Minnelli comes out. Yep. Of the closet. And does the single lady's song and dance. Oh, horrible. The Beyonce song? Yeah, yeah comes out. Yep. Of the closet. And does the single ladies song and dance. Oh, horrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow. Oh, that's awful. That was played out even then. Wow. Wow. Did you watch the whole movie? Mm-hmm. Kudos.

Is the guy from Northern Exposure in it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I like him. Yeah. I don't like him as much as the guy from Office Space oh right the guy from Office Space what was his name Hutch or something like that

there you go he broke up with her I'm thinking about a burger Hutch it's like a pizza Hutch burger Hutch welcome to burger Hutch can I take your order Pizza Hut. Burger Hutch. Welcome to Burger Hutch. Can I take your order?

Welcome to... We got a bag of meat. Nothing beats the Hutch. Are either of you fans of Northern Exposure by any chance? No. I watched it from time to time. Mostly after I saw Cliffhanger and I wanted to know more about that lady. I don't know why. I'm obsessed with it.

Every single day. Did you watch it when it was on little bit yeah i'm like that with monk i watch monk on netflix now yeah and you like it yeah is it because you associate that time when you watched it as a kid or i think i just i was not wasn't on when i was a kid the first episode is in h. Okay. Then I don't know Monk. It's a show about these monks. I'm trying to think of a show about these monks. For some reason when you said Monk, I thought of Picket Fences.

I was thinking of Picket Fences when you said Northern Exposure. You guys should kiss. You gotta kiss now. Because Northern Exposure was one of those shows that was on when I was a kid and I was like, I'm not gonna watch this. Right. This is on after Murphy. You know what?

I think the reason why I like it is because I love the idea of moving to a small town eventually. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like a really small, where there's a community. But then every time I go to a small community, everyone is either, not to sound redundant but on math or sure yeah i think maybe you have a complex where you think everybody's i'm really paranoid about small towns because you you as a musician you tour to towns and you don't want to badmouth any of them now right yeah but but there must be smaller towns that you stop in between the towns that you visit. Yeah, I've just had a lot of weird experiences in small towns.

It's more Twin Peaks than Andy Griffith Show. I wish it was like Twin Peaks. And I think that's the reason why I love Twin Peaks so much. Because I love... You love being in a community where murders happen? I've gone to North Bend many times because of Twin Peaks. Oh, really? And I'll stay there. What to North Bend many times because of Twin Peaks and I'll stay there what's North Bend?

it's just east of Seattle maybe like 45 minutes and it's where they shot Twin Peaks and then Northern Exposure was shot in Roslyn Washington as well which is not that far from North Bend it's a really cool part of the world why didn't you just move there?

it sounds like that place has exactly what you're looking for. I know, but now there's murder rates and stuff like that. The moose did it. They always make it seem like you've got your doctor, your artist, you know what I mean?

You've got the sweet old woman. The DJ. Yeah, everyone. You've got the guy with the harley and like the murderer the filmmaker the murderer the uh 1000 meth heads yeah the legions the legions of undead methods um yeah i don't know and small towns just aren't quite the same yeah it's true they aren't so quaint. Like, any time I've done stand-up in a small town, I've just ended up thinking,

oh, the only people who came to the show are the drunks. Right, right. Alcohol's a big factor in small towns. Not that I'm not holding a beer right now. Or is he, theater of the mind? There's a difference between a conversation of gentlemen with a beer right now. Or is he, theater of the mind? There's a difference between a conversation of gentleman with a beer in a parlor talking to a beer versus a conversation with someone who's had 12 beers this morning.

Yeah. Well, a lot of small towns in, I guess, a lot of them now, they're based around a single industry. Like, that was kind of the thing that Northern Exposure kind of glossed over, that there wasn't a pipeline or a mill or a, yeah. A plant. Like, Kalen and I are obsessed with just small road trips to, like, small towns. Like, we love, that's how we spend our time off as we drive to small towns. Sure. Try and get a feel for it.

How do you spend your time off from each other? We generally each go to a separate large town. Oh, okay. Like, um. A chai town. Vegas, baby. Okay, go on. I go to Vegas, and, yeah, and she'll go to New York York and we're just going to take a couple weeks

off of each other just let it flow anything goes what happens it's a real hall pass it's quite insidious actually but yeah I am still in search of the perfect small town.

Well, during the Olympics here in Vancouver, there was a profile. I remember there's a lot of ghost towns in BC. Yeah. BC is, as far as ghost town ridden, it's not a curse. It's not a curse. It's a good thing. Well, there's a lot of them. Because up north, it was closer to where the gold rush was.

And there was a lot of coal mining. And it was all in the same kind of area. And they would build these tiny little towns. And then when the coal mine shut down, the town just stopped being a town. And people just left. And there was a family that had bought uh one of the smaller towns they owned it outright like uh and it waited they didn't pay very much for it because they just bought the whole town and it was like a hundred thousand dollars and awesome uh they rebuilt

the city hall and the fire station and a bunch but a bunch of the houses they they'd been there for 10 years or something and they were exhausted by it. Like, because everything needed constant maintenance and there was, you know, there was still houses and stuff. So they were, they were profiled during the, because they were looking, I guess they were looking to sell it or whatever. Oh, weird. Um, I don't know if anybody bought it, but it was like, it was really crazy because there

was four of them in an entire town. Yeah. They were the only people in the town i used to work for this company uh and the owner of the company also owned a small town like a ghost town in bc yeah uh that was built in 1974 for a mine and they closed the mill that or the mine down in 1978. Wow. So it only existed for four years, and the owner of my company owned this town. Wow. And he wanted to do, like, so much stuff with this town, and nothing was ever going to happen.

It was like we were going to use it as a filming location. Yeah, that's the other thing I heard, is, like, they turn it into filming locations. That's how they stay alive. I would turn my town into, like, I'd make it, like, a like a you know it's like the town from family guy and then people come and oh you like paint it up yeah yeah as a cartoon yeah yeah what would you call it uh co-hog in addition to overheards that have been written in we also get overheards that have been called in. And our phone number is 206-339-8328 if you want to call

in like these people have. Hello, Stop Podcasting Yourself. This is Brad from South Carolina calling in with an overseen. I just saw a, not a vanity plate, but a license plate on the front of a Pontiac Grand Am. Looks like it was airbrushed

possibly at a fair by an 80% aspiring artist. And it said, Tammy's my name, volleyball is my game. And it had a little volleyball kind of whooshing through the air, airbrushed to it.

Right on, Tammy. Volleyball is nobody's game. It's a very unpopular sport. Wait a minute. Was volleyball your name or your game? Was Tammy the game? Tammy was the name. Oh. Tammy died.

That name died with the sport, I think. Tammy. Yeah. What is that short for? Tamala? Tamagotchi. A Japanese name. Sure. Next. Hi, Dave and Graham. This is Lindley in Indianapolis, America's Crossroads,

which you guys know. I'm calling in with an overheard, and it's actually one I'm stealing from my sister, but I don't think she'll mind because it's kind of a classic. So a couple of years ago, a friend of my sister's got tickets to a benefit show that was benefiting an AIDS charity. So he invited my sister, and they went, and they're standing outside the doors waiting for it to open.

And they're in line with all the other people that have tickets to the show. And this girl, there's these two girls behind him in line. And the first girl says, why are all these people wearing red ribbons on their lapels? And the second girl goes, I don't know. I think it's in support of breast cancer. Oh, no, wait. It's in support of the research of breast cancer. I don't want to look like an idiot.

It's not in support of breast cancer. Yeah, doy. That was kind of the inaugural ribbon, wasn't it? Yeah, I think it was. The AIDS ribbon. That seemed to kind of usher in the era of ribbons. Yeah, and is that era over? Have we replaced it with Livestrong bracelets?

That seems like it. Or Silly Bands. That seems like it's over. What's the next thing? Neck tattoos. Neck tats. Yeah, what else could you have? Oh, I mean.

A single earring. Anything. I love to accessorize. Yeah, what else could you have? Oh, I mean... A single earring. Anything, you know. I love to accessorize. Yeah, yeah. Well, they've done the lapel. Neckerchiefs. Oh, neckerchiefs. A belly t-shirt.

A belly t-shirt. A tankini. A fanny pack. I'm wearing this pink necktie, belly dolphin, fanny pack in honor of breast cancer. Sure. In honor our our guest of honor tonight oh wait breast cancer uh you tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree was isn't that a song about um the troops the troops was that the original ribbon was yellow but you tied it around a tree yeah now you would put a ribbon onal on your truck yeah now it'd be a

wwjd rubber band around the base of your pack i actually speaking of bumper sticker i noticed as bumper sticker right on the corner of like outside your house i think i know what bumper sticker you're talking about this is the one one that mentions foreigners? Yep. Why? And it's red, white, and blue. Do they know what country they're in? Okay, well, it's two cars that have the same bumper sticker, and one is this, like, Munster-style hearse-looking car. It's called, like, a Magnum? It's a Chevy Magnum.

The other one is a Chevy Magnum, which is a new... It's like a station wagon with a Hemi. It's the least fuel-efficient thing in the world. It's like the oxymoron of cars. Yeah. And it has... The bumper sticker says, Out of a job yet?

Keep buying foreign. Oh, right. And there's something about it, and I was like... Oh, yeah, I'll tell you about it. No, I'm kidding. Well, I'm like, what's the difference between saying, like, support local jobs, like, you know, buy local produce? That sounds like, oh, yeah, it's good.

But you just say the inverse of it, and it sounds racist. Yeah, keep buying foreign. But the red white and blue gives it like this like george bush like oil undertone and the fact that by local oil and the fact that they are um yeah exactly like still buy foreign except oil and everything else well and the fact that the bumper sticker is on the car like a car that is like the definition of why the u.s auto industry is failing it is this gas guzzling um you know useless uh automobile it's weird that like uh they did that episode of yeah it's infants or whatever is like where they couldn't think of why you know like why

aren't we selling cars because they don't make good cars and like that was like 15 years ago when it was the consensus was okay america oh no that was 25 years ago now yeah how long has the simpsons been around that was an early episode yeah yeah with the homer the consensus has been around for a long time like america could copy the like the japanese way of making cars and make fuel efficient cars that people want to buy that last a long time and they just never did you know what i mean like they well there are yeah there are but then there's certain things that like apparently the ford f-150 is like still the number one selling truck is that right yeah like like people thank you dennis leary yeah they sell like that's the only reason ford isn't in trouble. Ford is one of the companies that isn't in trouble.

It's funny because you bring up that Dennis Leary Ford ad. Yeah. Because to me, when I think Dennis Leary, I think, I'm an asshole. Yeah. When I see someone driving an F-150. Yep. It's, there's one of the recent ones where Dennis Leary is saying, you don't want to put together your car off of a placemat or something like that.

And I was like, that's not a thing. Like, all of that is made up jargon. That's the thing. Advertising is based on creating a demand that's not there. And sometimes they go too extreme with that. Like, they say, here's a dilemma that you have. And I'm like, no, I'm good. Insert Snuggie reference, obviously.

But there's some times where they honestly, it's a major company doing it. I wish I had a better example, but Snuggies. Don't get me started, Dave. And finally. Hey, Dave. Hey, Graham. Hey, Connor Haller. And finally, Hey Dave. Hey Graham. Hey Connor Holler.

This is Greg from Omaha. I was calling to leave an overheard this morning. I only heard part of this, but someone was talking about a new Walmart that had opened in a nearby town. And she said, she said, yeah, it's so nice.

It makes our Walmart look like the slums buffed floors clean shelves got it all that's you know what's crazy about that is i've experienced hardcore walmart's like i could literally like look from your blog, Hardcore Walmart. Right. What is a hardcore Walmart? Yeah, I'm actually kind of curious on that. Well, where you have, like, I feel like we're turning this into, like, a cliche anti-American thing, which I don't want to turn it into. No, it's just an anti-red state thing. Yeah, right. Well, no, I just, I kind of, like, I feel like that subject is, like, redundant to talk about.

It is what it is. I can't change it. I'm not Charlie Demers. But I will say, I have been to a number of Walmarts deep in the heart of the US where guys straight up have approached us and dropped the F-bomb. And I mean...

Big pharma yeah like like just just straight up like verbally attacked me like like it's crazy the gay f-bomb yes okay and like there's been like times where like there's been guys like going by driving like driving by and just telling their kid, like, that's what a F looks like. Like, just crazy, cliche stuff. Well, to be fair, you're a super gay guy. I look extremely gay in that context. You're blowing Graham right now. And I don't mind it.

I mean, I don't consider a casual blowjob an actual blowjob. Sure, yeah. But in the South, they're like, you know, come on, clean it up. You're in a store, for God's sake. But you compare that to, say, the North Vancouver Walmart, which is a bit more civilized. Sure. Do they do all Walmarts?

I've only ever been in one. I've been in a couple. And the only one I've been in has all. I only experimented with Walm been in one. I've been in a couple. The only one I've been in has... I only experimented with Walmarts in college. When the band is on the road, there are... Walmart literally has... You're in Widemouth, Mason.

Right. Now we go by Hoobastank. There are a lot of towns like the things you need you can only find in walmart sure it's crazy mama pops move it out of town and if you want to like get pushed around by your buddy in a little shopping cart you know at three in the morning that's the only place that's open you can rent jackass and do it vicariously, or you can go to Walmart and do it yourself. Sure. But, yeah, I get scared in some Walmarts. Like, it's crazy. Sure.

Well, you've got to know, you can't wear certain colors in certain Walmarts. Yeah, like, I can't wear beige. I can't wear beige anymore. Can't wear beige, no hot pink. Yeah, sure. And no glitter, body paint. We've got one more segment we want to do. Do we? What time are we at?

We can do it. Doesn't matter. Let's do it. Let's power through it. Most of this episode will be edited out. It's going to be the first 15 minute stop podcast. Yeah. Let's do...

Stunt casting. Do it. Are you an actor? Are you looking for work? Stunt casting. Stunt casting. Stunt casting. Stunt. Stunt casting. Powder. Danny DeVito. Taxi Cab the movie. Danny Glover. Martin Short. anyone in the movie Pure Luck. Stunt casting.

On our, we have a Facebook group, which we never plugged, but it grew kind of on its own organically. Yeah. And a request appeared on there this week or maybe late last week about, I think it was from Alex, said, why don't you guys do, you haven't done stunt casting in a long time. True. Yeah, and actually we really only do the two segments anymore. Like, we'd love to do more segments, but we... We're a couple of chatty cats. And also, yeah, the full

episodes just fill up with the get to know us and overheard. And the more, the only other segment we've done recently is Stunt Casting. We just did a Police Academy one a few episodes ago. Now somebody said,

the gentleman said, why don't you do one where you invert the, like if it was an all-female thing, that you would invert it if you were casting it as an all-male thing. What would be the male equivalent to the female thing? And I said, I need an example.

And he said something like the Golden Girls. I was like, okay. So I came up with three possibilities. You guys can choose. Golden Girls is one of them. I like that suggestion. I love that one. Charlie's Angels is the second one.

Only because they're coming out with a remake of it. With women. But Minka Kelly's one of them. A remake movie? Television show. Oh, yeah. Not a remake of a remake. No.

And the third one is The View. So there you go. Three all-women cast. Well, they did an all-male version of The View called The Other Half. Oh, that's right. With Dick Clark and... Maria Lopez. Danny Bonaduce and the doctor who killed Kanye West's wife.

See, that sounds like a stunt casting in itself. Yeah, it does. Yeah, that's true. Can I vote for the Golden Girls one? Only because... Yes, you can. Absolutely. I'm a huge, huge crush on Bea Arthur.

Okay. Golden Girls? Are you... Yeah. Bea Arthur Okay, Golden Girls Are you? Bea Arthur Baracus Pretty good That is pretty good We just need four characters, right? Four characters, there's Blanche Who is played by, I can't remember her name now

I don't know any of their Actors' names I feel dumb Devin Okay know any of their actresses names um i feel dumb devin devin uh okay uh rose was played by betty white yes um uh dorothy was played by b arthur yeah barackas sophia was played by estelle getty yeah and blanche was played by oh that's that's... Rue McClanahan. Rue! Yes! Rue?

Rue McClanahan. So, where do you want to start? I guess maybe we'll start with the Blanche character. Okay, but we're going... It's all male. It's all male. There's going to be four dudes living together. I gotta praise Alex for this concept. This almost needs a new theme song But go on

Well feel free to write one on top of your Herbie Hancock project That you signed up for We'll see about that Okay so Where are we starting? Let's start with Blanche Rue McClanahan, she's the southern belle

Sexpot She had a shorter Red hair Carpet match, the drapes She's the southern belle, sexpot. She had a shorter, kind of like a red hair. Carpet match, the drapes. So think about that. Natural red. Maybe Bonaduce. Who's a sexy redhead?

A sexpot redhead. Archie Andrews, David Caruso. David Caruso. Well, I also am thinking southern. I would err away from Redhead and go with Southern if there was somebody who was a real Southern. A Johnny Knoxville. Johnny Knoxville.

Who may not be Southern, but his last name. What about a Robert Redford? He's got like a Southern. Oh, he's an older gentleman. Right, okay, we've got to go in that age bracket. He's got red hair. I mean, what male is known as being... Blonde, strawberry.

What's a blissfully promiscuous male? I'd say that's more... Her promiscuity is more than the bigger factor. A ton of tail. Oh, George Clooney. That's what I was thinking. He's not a southern...

He's not charming. Matthew McConaughey? Yeah, he's too young, though. He is too young for the golden dudes. If we're only talking seniors. What are they called? All I know is Leslie Nielsen. Leslie Nielsen's dead.

Oh, wait, they have to be living? Yeah, they have to be living. It's complicated. Avril was right. Okay, so we don't... Like a southern... Who is somebody that talks with a... I kind of still like Robert

Redford as the. Andy Griffith? Andy Griffith might be a good Estelle Getty. I think we should actually just rewind and start with the core cast, which is Bea Arthur is really the. They're all the core cast. They're all the core cast. There's four cast members.

We're not doing any fringe characters. We're not doing David Leisure. We're getting Tommy Wiseau from The Room somehow Take a picture of him with your hips the mannequin Okay, okay Oh What about Willie Nelson

Oh yeah, he's southern, he's red headed He probably gets a lot He probably has no libido, though. Yeah, on account of the reefer. I don't know about that. He sings a lot of songs about getting something. I could see him being a pro. I don't know. I remember listening to more than one of his songs.

Islands in the Stream. Wait, no. That's a different guy. Another song, Getting Something. Yeah. Booty call. Boon, Tang, and Reefer. Okay, let's come back to it.

Okay, okay, okay. Rose. How about Rose? She's dumb. She's old. She's from St. Olaf. Yeah. And now she's a man.

She's a blonde. They all had white hair. What are you coming up with? Redhead. When you guys say redhead, I'm trying to picture an episode from season one. Blanche always had darker hair. She always had redhead or darker hair. I didn't see red, though.

You never saw red. What about Woody Harrelson? Woody Harrelson. Yeah, that's not bad, actually. But I feel like we need to get This needs to go on to older actors Like Dustin Hoffman Okay

William Shatner just turned 80 Gene Hackman Yeah Gene Hackman He would be a good Yeah, a good Bea Arthur would be Gene Hackman I could really see that Can we start with that?

Gene Hackman as Dorothy, can use... I could really see that. Can we start with that? Gene Hackman as Dorothy. Yeah, Gene Hackman as Dorothy. Can you see that? Oh, 100%. Yeah. Okay. Especially like in his Royal Tannenbaum kind of... Which, by the way, was 10 years ago.

He's 10 years older than that now. Yeah. Oh, he's perfect. Yeah. He wears the giant flowing gowns. Yeah. Oh, no, wait. Do they cross-dress in the show?

I don't know. Is this a bosom buddies affair the arthur was a little bit on the fence uh oh yeah yeah and that's why we loved her yeah yeah i like uh i like gene hackman for dorothy okay we're one for one yeah uh estelle getty the the really old like but me the meanest one oh she was also the sharpest. She was the sharpest. And Abe Vigoda? Is he too old? I don't know that he's sharp. A sharp... Who's that guy who plays, you know, Mark Twain in the one-man show?

Never mind. You know what? This is tough because you've got the sex reversal and we're drawing from seniors, which is not my forte. Well, no, but it's every actor who was famous in the 70s is a senior now. Right, okay. What about the guy who plays Jack McCoy?

Who's Jack McCoy? The guy from Law & Order who was the lawyer. Oh, yeah, that guy. Sam Waterston? Sam Waterston. From Picket Fences. Yeah, could he be? Is that the same guy that played Bookman from Seinfeld?

No. Oh, although he would be pretty good. Bookman would be a good... Estelle Getty? No, that's more a boyfriend of Bea Arthur's in the actual show. So Sam Waterston would be a good who? Oh, I was thinking along the lines of an Estelle Getty, but maybe not. He could be, like, because the youngest, because Estelle Getty was the youngest of them, but she played the oldest one.

So we could get, like get a sharp-tongued young guy. Also, she was Italian. She was from Sicily. The character was from Sicily. Al Pacino? Oh, that's not bad, actually. I could see an Al Pacino.

He's kind of lost it, though, in the last ten years. Yeah, but this is his chance to get it back. Don't deny him the opportunity. This is his comeback. You don't know Jack. I like that. Al Pacino, the sharp tongue. Yeah, I could see that actually.

Yeah, okay. The mother of Gene Hackman. Father. Oh, right. You're really going to get to use your Photoshop skills here. It's going to be great. I'm going to put Herbie Hancock in it. And please, a lot of emboss.

Sure, bevel. Yeah. A lot of drop shadow. Whatever the setting is, set it to extreme. Okay, so we only need a rose. Yeah. And we need somebody who can really play a fool for the rose. She really has to be able to play dense.

I like your Woody Harrelson suggestion, because he was a dumb guy on Cheers. If Coach was still alive. Jerry Van Dyke. Oh, Jerry Van Dyke. Oh, Jerry Van Dyke. Oh, that is so perfect. Yeah. Wow.

Wow. If Coach was still alive. I mean, the guy that played Coach on Cheers. I almost shat my pants right there. Coach. Well. I almost shat my pants right there. Oh, yeah. Coach. Well, that was overboard. You should motion to the door if you're gonna do that.

I'm actually a big Cheers fan. Sorry, a Coach fan. Yeah, sure. I mean, Dauber obviously would be the obvious Rose, but he's too young. Yeah, Jerry Van Dyke. That was a show. Like, most shows have one doofus that show had two doofus yeah and then towards the end even coach was kind of clueless because his wife took over the role it was kind of three doofi yeah they should have called it the three doofi so now we

need a blanch we need a slutty i'd say john larroquette because he played a really good slutty man on night court oh that's true i don't know if he has enough mass appeal anymore i mean he's been off the scene here i don't even think yeah i don't think he can hold his own against an i don't know if he has the mass appeal of say a room mcclanahan uh yeah i mean john larroquette is actually a great example or a John Slattery Ted Danson Ted Danson

would also be a good slut yeah oh yeah he was a slut on Cheers and he looks now he's

he's gone completely like his hair is completely white yeah so he oh who do you pick out of those Slattery's good

Slattery's good Ted Danson's good Slattery only came to mind because when we stunt cast Nightcourt He was the John Larroquette That's right I do like the Ted Danson but

I'm a big John Larroquette fan though From the old days It would be nice to give him a second chance Would you go Ted Danson Or would you go with a John Larroquette I think we'd have more viewers With Ted Danson obviously or would you go with a John Larroquette? I think we'd have more viewers with Ted Danson, obviously. Oh man, the Ubu production company's gonna be

rolling in it. I can't make that call. I mean, I love... No, you have to. You're the best. I'm... I'm gonna have to say Ted Danson because I will say that I feel like his recent show, he's great and it's

presented him in a new light but it's not gotten the same odd it hasn't got reached the same audience that he deserves more this stunt casting will enable that okay to recap ted danson is your blanche yeah um jerry van dyke is your rose yes Yes. Al Pacino is your... What was her name? Sophia. Sophia. And Gene Hackman as Dorothy. Pretty great. We stunt casted it. We made it through... Wait, there's still one key character.

Stan. Oh, Stan. Stan was an integral part in the tension. Stan, you know... But you know who would play him easily? Jeffrey Tambor. I know, but we need a female. Oh, yeah. She's right.

I think I thought he was Jeffrey Tambor. No, he's not. Stan is Dorothy's ex-husband. So we need a large, bald woman. No, I don't think we need Stan. So, yeah, that was a pretty good casting. I think you just have to go pee. No, I don't have to go pee.

Because I do. Well then let's wrap up the show. Steve, do you have anything that you need to plug besides your new Herbie Hancock remix that's being released on this very podcast? I'm playing the leader of a gang slash drug dealer
