Starting point is 00:00:00 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 174 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a chicken lily spider stopper, Mr. Dave Schumke. Yeah, some great stuff just happened pre-show. Graham went to a lot of work to corral this enormous spider.
Starting point is 00:00:42 That everybody, note, everybody was terrified of, like a bunch of pretty girls. Yeah. I was willing to smash it. Yeah, but no. And then you were like, oh, I need to take it out of the house. Yeah, because I believe in...
Starting point is 00:00:56 You believe that spiders are our future. And Graham corralled it using a cup and a piece of paper. And then I got it outside and Dave thought he was funny and stomped on it. Because he's the worst and he stinks. It was pretty funny. I hate him now. He's my new number one enemy.
Starting point is 00:01:13 And I have to sit next to him through this whole podcast. You were preserving life? I didn't get that from the whole thing. Okay. Well, no, that's noble. I do that too. I'll bring a flea outside. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:01:22 Yeah, and just let him go. And let him play base. And set them free. Thumbs down. Thumbs down, Dave. Those two voices that you guys are hearing are two-thirds of the enormously popular but missing in action podcast. Yeah, the hiatusiest.
Starting point is 00:01:39 You look nice today. Mr. Scott Simpson and Mr. Adam Lissagor are our guests. Hi, guys. Thanks for joining us. What was that prepubescent crack that just happened? We all go through changes every 15 years. Hi, guys. Welcome to our city.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Welcome to my house. It's spider-free. Well, as far as we know. And Graham is not going to volunteer to help capture another spider. So if we do find one. Oh, no, I will. I will capture it and make sure that Dave's checking his shoes to make sure. Ooh, my shoes. There's no guts on them.
Starting point is 00:02:17 What we heard was fantastic because the spider, Graham expertly caught the spider. The timing must have been hilarious. It was really amazing. I mean, it took you a minute, but you just calmly reached into this box full of recording equipment. It's my favorite minute to win it game. Kept the spider in the cup. Took a coffee mug and a piece of paper, got the spider, corralled it into the cup. Dave and Graham walked outside while Adam and I sat here laughing about it.
Starting point is 00:02:43 And then we just heard, Dave! Yeah, I said Afray and then Dave stomped on it. For no reason, he was outside. Let's tell the story a third time from the spider's point of view. Let's get to know us. Get to know us. So, what brings you guys to the Great White North? The GN?

Starting point is 00:04:06 are fans of your podcast would probably be very excited to hear that something's in the works. It's a weird process, though, that a podcast is in the works. Yeah. It's a bunch of bullshit. And that we're doing so much promotion for it. We're on the road. Yeah, we're all the way up here.
Starting point is 00:04:21 We hit Albuquerque. Oh, I saw you on the morning breakfast show today. You're going to be on the road. Yeah, we're all the way up here. We hit Albuquerque. Oh, I saw you on the morning breakfast show today. Yeah. Right. Good morning. You're going to be on Craig Ferguson. Yeah. No.

Starting point is 00:04:43 You just want it to be all about... Let's paint a picture. Get a room, you two. No, we have separate rooms. You guys flew in. There's four beds between us. Oh, hey. Yeah.

Our friend Albert just turned 40 and he gathered together a lot of our friends and we're all up here because it's the greatest city in the world. Am I right?
Starting point is 00:05:11 That's right. Playing to the crowd. You guys like Vancouver, right? Who here smokes weed? We thought they knew how to party in Seattle. Seattle.
Starting point is 00:05:23 We thought they knew how to party in Seattle Now You both have been on the podcast In the past But never as a team I feel like this is a bit of a coup That we're getting both of you At one time Sorry that's my hangover working its way up
Starting point is 00:05:42 That's tomorrow's hangover Hangover part two. Yeah, all right. Guys, what do you think will happen in the third one? Yeah. Do you think they'll drink too much? Where can they go in the third one? Mars.
Starting point is 00:05:54 They wake up on Mars. They wake up, they're all part of the space program. They should merge with another franchise, like do a hangover. Hangover 3, Viva Rock Vegas. I think that would actually be really great. Oh, boy. Anyway, so here we are. It's great. It's so nice
Starting point is 00:06:20 to see you guys. You guys, so fun, so cool. Nice people. Did we mention you killed it at MaxFunCon? Did everybody hear that? Did the public hear that yet?
Starting point is 00:06:32 Any of your stuff? Yeah, I heard the episode that we recorded. Did the stand-up stuff go up as well? No, that won't go up.
Starting point is 00:06:39 No, that's private. You pay money for that. Yeah, yeah. Although somebody videotaped, videotaped? Somebody had a videotape recorder.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Somebody filmed Andy Daly doing his thing and then posted it on YouTube. Oh, is that a no-no? I'll take it down. It's cool. It's weird because I know for sure it wasn't a sanctioned... Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:07:01 Well, to be fair, when you say doing his thing, you're not talking about his comedy actors. He was taking a crap. Yeah. yeah he was answering shit in the woods adam lisigar beats everybody to the punch um yeah it was fun you guys were both there did you have a fun max fun con yeah yeah yeah wonderful you crashed we were three three peters oh yeah yeah it was uh it was something that i Have a fun, max fun con. Yeah. Yeah. Wonderful. You crashed it, Scott. Well, we were three Peters. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah. It was something that I decided at the last minute to just come up and say hi to everybody. I told my wife I was going out for a beer. I'll be back. And then ended up in the mountains. It was fantastic. It was great to see you guys. Yeah, it was good to see you, too.
Starting point is 00:07:44 We had a nice little airport run in then afterwards when we were all waiting for our flights home. I was sitting there, I don't know, sexting or something, and Dave and Graham walked up. You did this to me once, so I'm going to do it back. Hey, Scott, 2007 called.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Is sexting not a thing anymore? I think it's more germane than ever. Really? Yeah. Well, with Anthony Weiner, I guess. Oh, yeah, Anthony Weiner. Was that technically... What would you call it?
Starting point is 00:08:13 A sex Twitter. Yeah. What would you call that? Come on. Race for it, guys. A twang? Twix denining. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Twix denining is, I think, as close as we're going to get. Because his phone was upside down when he did it. But I interrupted you. I'm sorry. You were at the airport. No, and then ran into these guys, had a beer. I remember my favorite moment that took place when we were having our beer
Starting point is 00:08:43 at the airport restaurant was we ordered from Manuel or whatever his name was. God bless him. That is such a racist thing to do. To sort of slip in somebody's name. It wasn't his name. It was a Mexican restaurant and we sure ordered Coronas.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Well, that's true. After we ordered Coronas, he goes, do you guys want shots? Like's true. That's true. After we ordered Coronas, he goes, do you guys want shots? Like, what? That's right. You guys want shots? It's a normal thing to just supersize a drink.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Yeah, and a shot. You guys want shots? And it's not 11 o'clock at night. We hadn't said that we were here for eight hours waiting for our plane. And we're also getting on a plane. No, it is. And we hadn't said that we were here for eight hours waiting for our plane. And we're also getting on a plane. Yeah, we're getting on a plane. Would you like some violent-making juice before you get on that plane?
Starting point is 00:09:34 Oh, boy. I just picture the assistant manager who came up with that line. Just like, he's not hitting his monthly numbers. What can we do to meet our goal? And then, shucks. My favorite thing about that restaurant, and I've since gone on to incorporate it into my stand-up comedy act, was they had these giant novelty-sized martini glasses filled with calamari that, like, one would be enough for a whole table of friends. And it was like each person at this table had their own giant novelty
Starting point is 00:10:06 full of calamari it was uh and i was saying it looked like one of those things they have on dr oz where they build like a model to show you like this is how much calamari is too much a frappuccino is the equivalent of this much calamari. This is how much calamari is in an average whatever. I was kind of under the impression growing up that all seafood was really classy. And then you get into the deep fried territory and it becomes less and less classy. I always, my first thought about seafood was always like Captain Highliner. Like that to me is like. Oh, i thought like uh like seafood was like the poor man's like you had to catch
Starting point is 00:10:52 something from the sea if you didn't have you have long john silvers here no no we don't but we do we i don't think so you have red lobster do you have red lobster yeah sure we yeah sure we do i love the cross border do you got you guys got roots? I think so. I think it came here recently. You guys got Sizzler? Red Lobster works on me, though, because I'm watching it on TV, and first of all, I love Lobster. I've never actually been to a Red Lobster, but it works on me because I'm thinking, how bad could it be? It's Lobster.
Starting point is 00:11:22 It's Lobster. I want it. I want lots of it, and I want it for $10, $10.99. You know what stinks about going to Red Lobster with Graham, though, is that he spends an hour meticulously removing all of the lobsters from the lobster tank with a coffee mug and a piece of paper. He takes them outside, and then Dave steps on them. Which ruins it for everybody, because now you can't eat lobsters if you're stepped on.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Which ruins it for everybody, because now you can't eat lobsters if you're stepped on. I was watching a channel from Atlanta, I feel like, and there's a restaurant called Steak and Shake. Are you guys familiar with Steak and Shake? Okay, so that must be a regional, that's not like an American one. Because that's the worst name for a restaurant. Anybody else want to weigh in? Steak and Shake? Sounds pretty horrible. Do they sell steaks and milks milkshakes yeah they just shake you i like my steak shaken that's dirt yeah is it like shake and bake steak
Starting point is 00:12:12 um no it's steak and yeah i think milkshakes i didn't why didn't i even check it out why do you think that's a bad i mean that seems like a pretty good name. It says what it is. It's descriptive. People are fat. Do those go... Yep. Is that something that goes together, though? A steak and a milkshake? No.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Nothing really goes with a milkshake, but you feel like it does, because you go to a 50s style... Johnny Rockets. Johnny Rockets. Moxies. Well, it's implied, though. You don't want to say it in the name of the restaurant. Milk is a bad choice. They should just call it cows, because it's just...
Starting point is 00:12:51 Cow stuff. Cow stuff. Look at the cow stuff. Yeah. But, yeah, because you get a big burger, and then they bring you a milkshake, which is basically dessert. Yeah. But they give it to you while... Before your meal.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Before your meal, with a metal canister with extra in it. That's true. It's the only thing where you order a set size, and they're like, here's a little extra. Because they know you're disgusting. It's like they haven't figured out how much to make, and so they always do too much. We were just going to throw this away. This isn't a science, guys. This is more of an art.
Starting point is 00:13:33 It's a different amount of ice cream every time. The metal thing is the girlfriend cup on the side, because that one always goes to my girlfriend. Oh, that's nice. That's sweet. Sorry, ladies. He's taken. my girlfriend. Oh, that's nice. Oh, that's sweet. Sorry, ladies. He's taken. My girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Is that playing on radio? Girlfriend? Yeah. He's air quoting it. Now, you in California, is there anything that's just a restaurant like that, a disgusting restaurant that's only in California? Of course there is. I mean, everything.
Starting point is 00:14:03 There's disgusting local things everywhere. Yeah, well, ours is White is. I mean, everything. There's disgusting local things everywhere. Yeah, well, ours is White Spot. White Spot, sure. That's our regional gross. Yeah, I walked by on the way from breakfast this morning. I walked by a White Tower. I don't even know what that is. White Tower.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I think it was pizza. Yeah, it's downtown. Yeah, it's like kind of a knockoff of White Castle, but it doesn't have any of the menu of white castle also tower white tower you had to say it yeah exactly time yeah all of us to really right yeah hey where are you going to now i'm going to the white tower pardon nowhere it's a pizza good uh There's a suburb of Vancouver called White Rock. And I used to be in a band with guys
Starting point is 00:14:49 from White Rock and they were a White Rock band. And it was... We had to always be like, that's not the genre of music we're playing. Oh, yeah. I used to be a white supremacist. Yeah. Right. But that's just because white supremacist. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:06 But that's just because I think this race is top. It's better. No pun. Just that's how I feel. That's interesting that like the gay pride parade ended up like just being called like the pride parade. And the white pride parade never like it always stayed white pride. Is there a white pride parade? Or did I just make that up right now? Again, every day is a white pride parade.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Maybe this is one of those things that you can combine the franchise and do everything. A white pride and a gay pride just all in one parade. Yeah, it's just pride. It's weird that they just got both the rainbow and the word pride. Didn't they get the equals sign too? The equals sign. Do you have that? There's a little bumper sticker that's basically
Starting point is 00:15:49 a blue background and a yellow equals sign. I've never heard of that. I used to work for a company in New York right after college called One Such Films. And they, like, One Such. There's only one. And their logo was the yellow equals sign with a red cross
Starting point is 00:16:06 through it like no equals but gay people would see this and i wore it on a t-shirt because i didn't know but gay people in the bride braid and you're like yes this is my most colorful shirt yeah i thought i was in your pith helmet i just picked every every time you tell a story i just if it's not funny or if it's boring it's not going anywhere right you just put me in a pith helmet it gets funny if it's really bad i put you in a postal uniform like a full u.s postal service you know high socks you have the postal pants don't you I do yeah I had to go through proper channels
Starting point is 00:16:48 what are postal pants postal pants are well they're just the pants that postal workers wear but in the states they have cool they have like a hamster stripe down the side they're very military looking and they're awesome in the states do they actually wear those
Starting point is 00:17:04 pith helmets or is that a oh yeah they're awesome. Now, in the States, do they actually wear those pith helmets or is that a... Oh yeah, they're allowed to. It's a component of the uniform. You're allowed to wear a pith helmet. I've seen it on a sunny day. Yeah, and you can wear... You can just mix and match different parts of the uniform. You can also wear the hat with the beer can holders on the side shirt.
Starting point is 00:17:24 You can wear your socks in a parka. Whatever things you want to put together. Your choice, mail carrier. You guys, is there a custom of tipping your mail carrier at Christmas? Or setting a little present? I know you tip your garbage man.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Oh, really? I didn't know that either. You tip him a little, like 15% extra garbage. Yeah. A little extra. Those coffee grounds are for you. There's a pizza box. It's complicated, because I think if you're in a bad neighborhood, you're supposed to like wait for them and give them an envelope full of, you know, 20 bucks or 50 bucks or whatever. I've never heard of this. But in a nicer neighborhood where you don't have to worry about people stealing money off your garbage, you would just leave an envelope. So you tip your garbage men, but I don't think you tip your recycling people. And those two groups do not get along. They don't get along? No. What are the colors here for the containers?
Starting point is 00:18:24 For the... For the trash and recycling. Blue is recycling. All right. And trash is trash can. Okay. So that's not interesting at all. No.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Same here, I guess. Different shape. Blue. It's just a blue, like, box. Whereas the garbage cans are garbage cans. But I don't even know my mail carrier. Like, i don't even know my uh mail carrier like i don't even know who that is because it's changed five or six times in the last year like it's always every time i see the person it's somebody different so if i tip the person that just
Starting point is 00:18:57 started december one they're getting everybody else's juicy well yeah it's like a restaurant right i think they probably maybe they have to split it up. I wonder. It goes into a huge... Would you split it up? My milkman? Yeah. There is no milkman. What?
Starting point is 00:19:11 Well, my parents still get milk. They do? Yeah, delivered. In bottles? No, not in bottles, but they did for a while. No kidding. Straight from... Do you guys...
Starting point is 00:19:19 Do you have a milkman? Straight from cow stuff. Sure, everybody does. No, that's not true. That's not true. In California? No, I was trying to do it. I'm imagining, though, hey?
Starting point is 00:19:25 You have a lemonade man, a milkman. No, that's not true. In California? No, I was trying to do it. I'm going to hedge in, though, hey? Yeah. You have a lemonade man, a milk man. Every beverage. Every condiment, too. You have a Dijon mustard man. Regular mustard man. Ketchup man. They do not get along.
Starting point is 00:19:38 How much do you tip a ketchup man? They were head to toe red. Just like, but like like the sort of like the polyester dickies hey Mr. Johnson I've got fresh ketchup here oh we still have a ton of it
Starting point is 00:19:54 you should really eat a hot dog once in a while but we don't need it every week I mean how much we eat hot dogs four days a week. Hot dog, man. Get your hot dogs here. He's wearing head-to-toe flesh color.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yes. With just like a yellow stripe down the middle. I assume that the milkmen wear just white just because they deliver milk. Yeah, I guess. I don't know. Maybe if they spill it on themselves, it needs to blend in. Sure. They're drinking it all day long.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Now, that used to be a thing, right? Like, milkmen would go and have sex with your wife. Yeah. When you were at work, right? Yeah, the kid always looks like the milkman. I saw an advertisement that stuck with me 10 years since I saw it originally in a magazine. It was a boy growing up. It was sort of a baby, then a little boy, then a five-year-old, then up to an adult.
Starting point is 00:20:52 And the adult of the progression was a milkman. You're doing the white power side. You're telling the story using... It's reflexive. It's like Peter Sellers. You're telling the story using... It's reflexive. It's like Peter Sellers. The adult was a milkman, and it was an advertisement for a paternity test.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Oh. Just to show that, just in case, to make sure it's yours and not the milkman's. Was it just for the generic idea of a paternity test or a brand of it? Because I would never be like, oh, no, I'm not going to use that brand of paternity test or a brand of it because i would never be like oh no i'm not going to use that brand of paternity it was it was sponsored by reliable it was sponsored by the paternity test deliverers union i like the uh idea of because there aren't really a lot of milkmen anymore that the term milkman is just moved over to somebody who impregnates your wife because like you you can't make sense by the way um there's a brand of uh muscle builder called
Starting point is 00:21:53 muscle milk is this yeah right gross gross super gross gross people say like you don't want to hear anybody you get it like a um a supplement store yeah right. And you would put it in a smoothie or something? Something. I don't know. Maybe it's in powdered form or something. White powder. Right? So a muscle milk is milk for your muscles or milk from your muscles.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I think it's milk for your muscles, maybe. But does it come from your muscles? No. It's milk for your muscles, maybe. Does it come from your muscles? No. It's probably cow stuff. I think it's like whey protein or something. It's sold in those gigantic... You see them stacked up in front of the supplement stores. Those four-gallon
Starting point is 00:22:37 drums. Muscle milk. Yeah, it seems like it would be a slang term, like baby batter. Yeah. Throat yogurt. You've been waiting to use these. It's, yeah, it seems like it would be a slang term, like baby batter. Yeah. Yes. Throat yogurt. Yogurt. You've been waiting to use these.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Calm. I don't get it. Boy. So much friendship. So much friendship. Where? I don't know if anybody else in this room goes to a gym. I do. I go about goes to a gym. I do.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I go about three times a week. Okay. Now, do you go to a gym that is mostly just regular-looking people or super muscly people? It's very regular-looking. It's my work. It's associated with my company. So it's just... Pasty nerds.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Yeah, it's pasty nerds and the occasional tattooed angry guy. Yeah, there's a... The gym I go to is like almost overrun with giant men that are lifting impossible amounts of weight. And I feel like even the locker room is below the weight room and it feels like, I don't think they built this structure properly so you just hear weights pounding and the lights kind of flicker a bit like i don't think this are you talking about jail is this yeah that's your so-called gym and everyone's tattooing each other
Starting point is 00:23:58 the showers are the greatest. I just canceled my gym membership after three consecutive years of not going. Was it the kind of gym where it's really hard to cancel a membership? No, not at all. But you delude yourself into thinking, I'm going to go tomorrow for three years. Wow. That's a long stretch. That's not bad.
Starting point is 00:24:25 That's a thousand days. A thousand tomorrows. Yeah, a lot of wasted resources. And it was full of attractive people. I think that was my number one favorite reason to go to the gym, was all the attractive people. I would rather have it be a bunch of uggos. Really? Attractive people?
Starting point is 00:24:39 I want to blend right in. You're pansexual? Well, you know. Are you just trying to seem like, oh, I'm not really into ladies? No, I like both. Really? Oh, no, no, not in that way. Not in that way. But you like
Starting point is 00:24:53 seeing attractive men as a heterosexual? Yeah, I don't mind it. Really? Yeah. I wonder how I feel about attractive men. I know. I'm on board. I play everything that's attractive I like. I'm an attractive man. I know, I'm on board. I play everything that's attractive I like. I'm not down with uggos and anybody who says that I am. I would like there to be a few people uglier than me.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Yeah. I want everybody to be as ugly or lower than me. I don't like being on a treadmill next to somebody who looks great. I find it inspiring. I find it the exact opposite. I'm like, well, this is never... I'm never going to get to that point, so why bother?
Starting point is 00:25:34 What's your regimen, Graham? I am doing... I asked, what is the... Because I have to... I'm training, basically, because I'm doing a thing called a spartan race in august that sounds really terrible yeah it's probably going to kill me it's going to i'm with i did it uh because my dad's like a big big time athlete and uh so that is gordie howe yeah my dad
Starting point is 00:25:59 is canadian hockey legend gordie how. I didn't keep the name. But it's like all these crazy things in one event. Like you have to lift a bucket of rocks and stuff like that. Like you would in Sparta. Yeah, right, right. Welcome to Sparta. And yeah, I'm the only one on the team that's not in like fantastic shape. Oh, it's a team sport yeah there's a four of us
Starting point is 00:26:25 it's my dad and my brother my brother uh is like statham-esque yeah and then uh somebody my dad works with that just finished an iron man oh like he built an iron yeah he built an iron man and killed it with his bare hands it sounds like you're setting yourself up for failure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what's your team name? The Gilmore Girls. This is your contribution to the team. I see.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I see why you're on the team. Comic relief. I am the Jack Black to their team of Wilsons. Is it a relay, or do you all go at once? I don't know. I don't know. I've, I think it's, that's a good question. Okay, lifting rocks, what else?
Starting point is 00:27:12 There's a, you have to climb on, like, belly under some barbed wire. Oh, wow. And you have to jump over fire at one point. Are there guys with the actual gladiator sticks? Really? Yeah, that knock you down, and you have to try and get around them. But you get up again? They're never going to keep you down.
Starting point is 00:27:28 They're called tub thumpers, I think. They were going to call it either a Spartan race or a Chumbawamba race. You have to run. There's a running up a hill component and climbing up a rope net. Oh, yeah. Climbing up a rope. I think you have to climb a wall. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:46 See, I watched the shit out of American Ninja Warrior on TV. Do you know this show? No. Sounds great. It's an American Gladiators ninja obstacle course show on the G4. Have you watched it, Scott? Yeah. Well, it's based on a Japanese yearly big event that is watched by some huge number of people there.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Wow. It's a huge thing. Yeah. It's really fun. It's like, did you watch American... Well, I know this because I've researched it. There was an American gladiator in a lot of different countries, and they're obviously not called American gladiators.
Starting point is 00:28:23 You had Canadian gladiators. We didn't. We used your American ones yeah we had steak and shake yeah uh long john silvers what were the guys names they were all they all had crazy names like viper yeah yeah lays laissez-faire lays the potato chip various economic concepts of the past yeah sure, sure. Madeline Albright. Yeah, trickle down. That dream I had. The Laffer Curve. Wheezy.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Wheezy. Oh, boy. I would love to go on an obstacle course that's defended by horribly out of shape people. Yeah. Or just all sassy black ladies just down the line. Oh, don't you think about walking past me. You just feel bad. You just kind of move slowly past.
Starting point is 00:29:13 The judge from Legally Blonde. Yeah, so I'll probably die doing that. Okay. But that's in the meantime, I've been trying to do, just get some endurance going up. That's great. More than any kind of strength. I've just foregone, I'm not going to win this thing. I just need to survive it. Yeah, that's really fun. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Remains to be seen how fun. Is there a uniform? Do you dress like Spartans? Oh, we should. Are you guys going to get matching shirts? There should be, yeah, we should definitely Uniform, I like the way you're thinking Are you finally going to win your dad's approval?
Starting point is 00:29:54 I don't know, my brother's on the team, so if we do win You're going to have to rescue him from something You and your brother are going to team up No, my brother's going to have to carry me on his back the whole time Is that allowed? I don't know from something. You and your brother are going to team up. No, my brother's going to have to carry me on his back the whole time. Is that allowed? It's going to be tough when you're going under the barbed wire. Just scratching your face. Yeah, I'm going to be on the back
Starting point is 00:30:13 wearing me like a backpack. Yeah. A lumpy backpack that just holds you down and doesn't hold anything. So yeah, that's my... know that's a stairs i do that stair machine that's the worst oh like there's a machine that's actual stairs yeah that's the one oh wow that's that's cool it's cool but it's like it's always like a tiny escalator yes it is yeah and nobody ever uses it because it's the hardest thing ever it's really hard and it's also exactly
Starting point is 00:30:44 what hell it's going to be like. Like literally. Never ending stairs. Yeah, never ending stairs surrounded by people who are better looking than you. Mirrors, which is obviously invented by Satan. And a machine where you don't go anywhere, but you just kind of... And just out of reach at the top
Starting point is 00:30:59 of the stairs, there's pizza or something. Oh yeah, exactly. And then the TV that you're watching is non-stop Housewives of Beverly Hills hills i've never watched a single one of those me either i i i that's one part of like trash tv culture that i i and i'm usually i consider myself uh you know kind of a connoisseur in that area but for which you should be ashamed yeah i but i've missed out on every single one of those. I just assumed they would go away. Yeah, but they haven't. No.
Starting point is 00:31:29 They've expanded, yeah. There's going to be one in Vancouver. Oh, there is? I heard, yeah. Yeah, I'm not happy about that. What are they like? What are Vancouver housewives like? Oh, you'll see them tonight on Granville Street. Okay, good. Peeing in an alley. The classiest. Can I ask you guys a question?
Starting point is 00:31:47 Yes. I have a problem at work. As you know, as I said before, it's affiliated with my job, and so it's very nerdy. Oh, your work is affiliated with your job? Yes. Sorry, my gym. My gym. It's very nerdy.
Starting point is 00:32:01 And so lots of the folks who work out there maybe aren't super aware of how they smell. Oh, really stinky. Stinky people. And I feel like they're doing me double pain because they smell bad and that's horrible and I hate that and it's interrupting my ability to – because I'm also breathing really hard yeah that's another thing you do at the gym yeah uh so I'm extra inhaling their smell and then they're doing the double pain of making me mad at them and angry and not sure what to say or do I I wish is what is there something that you can say is there like a a card you can give to these guys that what do address the situation? Now, is this a person that only smells when they're at the gym?
Starting point is 00:32:47 Or are these like nerd guys that don't shower? Or people you only see at the gym. I don't know them outside. So you just know they smell horrible at the gym. They just smell terrible at the gym. And it's probably just their clothes. Because I think... And their skin.
Starting point is 00:33:04 No, when you're sweating at the gym, it's like a clean sweat, isn't it? It's your clothes that you haven't washed multiple times that cause BO. I think the only thing... This has always been my gym clothing policies. The only thing that you re-wear to the gym is shorts.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Shirts, socks, everything else has to be like... It's a one-time deal, everything else, like, has to be, like, it's a one-time deal, and then it goes in the wash. Like, you don't keep, like, a filthy shirt at the gym. You just keep putting on. But your shorts are, you know, they're big collectors. I got those wick-away deals, you know? Like basketball shorts. Oh, tearaway shorts.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Yeah, they're tearaways. Oh, I didn't say that. Yeah, I wick them off at the end of the day. Yeah. No, my towel gets the funkiest, but I don't, but the rest of them I think I wash regularly. Well, you work out in a towel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:56 In an elaborate arrangement of six or seven towels. Toga style. Adam strides out of the locker room into the gym. Other people are lifting weights. He just walks, he doesn't even work out he just sort of pretends to direct them to lift my leg up lift lift yeah want to hit the heavy bag i don't know i don't know how you address somebody's scent what i would like especially somebody that you don't know right it's like
Starting point is 00:34:24 like so if you're on the like you're running on the treadmill next to somebody that's stinky i would just like as you know as subtle a way as possible just reach over and push them off the treadmill in as gentle and polite a way as possible yeah because then they go flying it's hilarious everybody laughs slowly push their treadmill towards a cliff. Or, yeah. I haven't been to a gym in a long time, but do treadmills have rearview mirrors? Because if so, you should put an air freshener on it. A pine tree. Hanging on them.
Starting point is 00:35:00 No, it's not you, sir. I smell something. The problem I have at the gym I go to is loud housewives that are like, this is their time out of the house, away from the kids. How loud and what way? So loud that I can hear them over top of the music I listen to. But what are they doing? Are they grunting or talking? No, no, talking.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Or orgasming? But gossipy mom, they're orgasming together for a greater good. Sexy, Jim. They're talking, you know, they're having a loud mom talk. Come for the cure. This is our charity. Stop it. This is our charity. Please. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:35:37 It's gross. So what do you do about that? Muscle milk, guys. Oh, just tell them, hey, shut up. Yeah, knock it off. Yeah, go home. God, you guys are loud. I feel like I've complained about somebody at the gym.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Maybe not. No, I haven't. Yeah. I mean, the big guys, they can yell and grunt and do whatever they want. Oh, God, you're not going to touch them. No, they're giants. Yeah. They're giants of society.
Starting point is 00:36:03 They're also idiots, and they probably wouldn't understand. They wouldn't take up all your talk now, et cetera. Overhand weight to the face. They have their muscle milk mustaches. I have a kind of a social etiquette problem as well. Oh, yeah? It's not gym related, but it's related to the summer. And it's, what is it, July 9th.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Sure. And it's the hottest day of the year, and it's not even very hot. Scott here is wearing a cardigan. Yeah. I am sweating through a shirt. I am also sweating. But we, my next door neighbor, well, actually upstairs neighbor, they, the worst thing about summer is that they're outside all the time.
Starting point is 00:36:50 And every time I go in and out of the house, I have to, oh, hey, hello. Your neighbors are Muppets? Yeah. Okay. But they've got a couple of kids. And last year, it was super awkward, but I guess it's okay. One of their kids was like three, and he was running around naked. Yeah, he was constantly naked.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Yeah. And by the way... Adam's disgusted. Gross. And by the way... What does that even look like? Describe. I feel bad for being uncomfortable around it but the alternative
Starting point is 00:37:26 is that i'm super into it it's a good thing that i'm uncomfortable around it right but now he's a full year older and a full year naked or oh yeah there is it there's got to be a cut what is the cut off it's now right it's school the cutoff is school it's kids kindergarten it's five oh really yeah for sure i think you know in the stages of life you have youths yeah and i think in the It's now, right? It's school. The cutoff is school. It's kindergarten. It's five. Oh, really? Okay. For sure. I think in the stages of life... Because you have youths. Yeah, and I think in the stages of life, you really notice a complete social difference in children when they start going to school and having friends.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Before then, they're really at home with the family. So I think that's a good cutoff. Yeah. I disagree. I think it's as soon as I'm disgusted. Right when it comes out. What you can do is you go right out there and take all your clothes off. Let me show you how it's done.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I never went to school. I got a good idea for you, which is to start a company that makes very small tuxedos for children who have literally just been born. But breathable. Because evidently, you hate to see the human form. Or I could invent a pair of glasses that have little tuxedos on the inside so every time I look at a naked person, I see them wearing a tuxedo.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Or a schlubby person. Yeah, sure. Yeah, all of a sudden, your whole world is fancier. Everywhere you go is a gala ball. Yeah. All of a sudden, your whole world is fancier. Everywhere you go is a gala ball. Yeah. Speaking of all things horrible, I saw two horrible things colliding that made the greatest thing. The other day, I was hanging out at a bar slash restaurant right near the window. There was like a an intersection and going against
Starting point is 00:39:07 the light was a filthy hippie guy on a longboard uh-huh right thumbs down to his whole situation yeah um and he was and then he was uh fell off of his longboard which was the greatest and then his longboard was run over by somebody in a brand new Mercedes, which I also hate. And the longboard like went in the wheel well, and then popped out. It bounced and popped up and landed in the grill of the Mercedes. So I was like,
Starting point is 00:39:40 Oh yay. And I was so excited that I knocked my friend's drink into her lap. Cause I was like, Oh my God, you guys. Cause I was the only that I knocked my friend's drink into her lap. Because I was like, oh, my God, you guys. Because I was the only one who saw it. You know, this is, not to take anything away from your story, but I don't know if, this was also page seven and eight of Richard Scarry's Busy Town. So, the filthy longboarder worm.
Starting point is 00:40:02 That's amazing. Yeah, it was really, it was just like, oh, it's just such a, like it was like watching a movie made just for me like here are the things that you don't like what did the hippie say and then that was the greatest was after I called everyone in the restaurant say harsh bummer
Starting point is 00:40:20 what a wash that's terrible After I got everyone in the restaurant's attention To how great this was Then we watched as the hippie Tried to pull his longboard out of the grill Of his Mercedes The guy in the Mercedes did not bother Getting out of the car and just waited
Starting point is 00:40:40 Until the hippie had removed his longboard It's a no fault Well I guess it's the hippie's fault. It was the hippie's fault. Yeah, you can't get longboard insurance. But also, it was also kind of the Mercedes' fault for being cool with driving over something that could have been a human.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Not applying any brake pressure whatsoever and just being like, I'm going to drive right through this. That looks fun. I just wanted to share that with some people who are next door. Oh, now, Graham, before we move on to overheards, I wanted to share that with some people oh no graham before we move on over herds i wanted to ask you about your night last night oh sure you uh as as i understand it you pulled an all-nighter on vancouver island yeah because this is how much i was like uh i like i'm so excited that you guys are both on the podcast this This is how much I like you guys. All right.
Starting point is 00:41:25 As I was on the island, I did a show in a place called Souk. The show was pretty rocky. And then afterwards, like I didn't have, the show didn't come with a hotel room or anything. So I just went to the other comedy club that's just outside of Victoria
Starting point is 00:41:42 and hung out with comics through the night because I was like, I'm just going to get on the first ferry possible. And I slept at the ferry terminal and then got on the first ferry. Like, I slept for an hour and then I came here specifically to be on
Starting point is 00:42:00 the podcast with you guys. So I am still living in yesterday land. And so many drinks. I drank all the drinks. I drank so many of them. Did you stay at the club after hours? Yeah. Extra late?
Starting point is 00:42:14 Do comics do that? If it's a cool guy that owns the club, then he's like, hey, yeah. Just a jam. Yeah, we just did a comedy jam. We all just go up and do some premises yeah you're really playing for each other at that point yeah it's the jokes here not tell it but yeah we uh and i ended up i ate like eight at a denny's at three in the morning and it was
Starting point is 00:42:41 very it's very like oh yeah college days like i remember this you know it's the sun coming up and being like yay but this i was like i feel terrible when you sleep at a ferry terminal do you sleep sitting up or do you risk getting beaten by the police i know i slept yeah like that's one of two options i uh i i sprawled out and when i woke up uh my overheard comes from this guy, so I don't want to... But he was a hippie guy, not wearing any shoes, had walked to the ferry terminal with no shoes, and also had a baseball cap with no brim on it. Just the cap part.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Oh, weird. Yeah. A jughead. Yeah. A baseball yarmulke. a baseball yamaka but uh yeah so i'm still uh i'm sweating out uh last night's booze while bringing in new stuff to replenish the stock sure muscle milk uh well on that note let's move on to the overheard segment overheard guys overheards hey's have some. Let's do some. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Things you've overheard or overseen. We'll accept that, too. As heard on Fitzdog Radio. Yeah. As invented by Greg Fitzsimmons. Yes. Our, what do we call him? Our hero?
Starting point is 00:43:56 Our idol? Yeah, he's kind of like our spiritual leader. Yeah. We like to always start the overheard segment with the guests. And we'll start with Adam. Do you want to? I'm fine with it. No, let'll start with Adam no let's start with Scott we'll start with Scott Adam's going to buy some time he's hoping to overhear something as a guest
Starting point is 00:44:13 mine's just going to be what I overheard Scott saying you told us in the break that you completely forgot about overheards and I've never been a guest on our show I don't know if you know that but do you now have that feeling of being in school where you didn't finish your homework? Yeah, I didn't do my homework. I didn't build the volcano I was supposed to.
Starting point is 00:44:35 But I came up with something. Oh, great. I slapped something together at my locker. Thanks, dog. Okay, Scott? Mine comes from a fancy boutique in Soho, New York. I was just kind of browsing the racks. And I think...
Starting point is 00:44:51 Boobs, right? Hot dog. Especially jarring about this was that when you go into a fancy boutique, everybody who works there, they're always really thin, really beautiful. This was two guys who were chatting with each other. And so my working assumption is that these people don't lead normal lives because they spend their working lives around $1,000 t-shirts. And I just figured they don't go outside.
Starting point is 00:45:20 They just go back in the back and all sleep naked together in a pile of perfect human flesh i like the sounds of this place what was the name of this a target is that what you said so anyway sorry for the big lead-up but uh it made it especially weird when i heard one guy say the other guy um i've been really into shredded carrots lately no but like but like as a whole meal wow yeah that's that's my over um it's what so you said boutique and uh it was a clothing boutique are there other kinds of boutiques because a scary one boot it can only be it can only be it can't be anything too manly it can't be like it's got to be like little soaps or it was a it was an african themed store called the batik boutique it wasn't it was it was fancy that was great um uh yeah and the thing about the people who work there they're they're thin because thin is in they're they're working in retail at the store that sells one t-shirt a day.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Yeah. They spend all their food money on their clothing. Yeah. I like the idea, though, of just eating a meal that's all just potatoes, but all different types of... I'm going to do that today. Yeah, you can do that. You can shape it into whatever type... You can shape shredded carrots or a potato into something that looks like a drumstick.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah, right. Or a cupcake. I'm going to eat my dessert first. Or a celebrity face. I'm eating a Stelgetti. You can cut a shape out of a potato, use it as a stamp, and then eat it. Yeah, yeah. Using non-toxic food dyes.
Starting point is 00:47:02 And then mail yourself. Yeah. Shut up. I didn't actually even hear what you said. I just said, yeah. I talked over you. It was fine. It was fine.
Starting point is 00:47:15 It's fine. A lot of what we talk about doesn't make sense. And then mail yourself. Stamp. And then mail yourself. Oh, because you're... You ate a stamp. And Adam's wearing a pith helmet,
Starting point is 00:47:25 as we discussed earlier. Adam, do you have that? Oh, wait, I got a new overheard note. This idiot just said mail you. Boy, I am the worst. Guys. That's a good catchphrase. I am the worst.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Sorry, ladies. Have you seen this guy? Me? I am the worst. He's so good. When we were at MaxFunCon, Teresa Thorne of the Maximum Fun organization, she remarked she thought it was great
Starting point is 00:48:02 how we thought everything was either the greatest or the worst. And I had never noticed that about us. I noticed it because somebody had pointed it out to me before. You say everything's the worst. A lot of people were using that at MaxFunCon this year. I think it's the best. Yeah, it is the best. It's the best, right?
Starting point is 00:48:24 So extreme. There is it is the greatest. So extreme. There is no shades of gray. It's all black and white. Yeah, this isn't the worst. It's pretty bad. Now, Adam, come on. Overheard. You got overheard. No more stalling. Good technique so far. Show your work. So when I go through the security at an
Starting point is 00:48:46 airport um you know they have they have the back scatter machines now that spread cancer all over your body uh-huh so i've heard so i art bell yeah i uh i opt out when that's when that option is presented to me um so i mean this which usually works out fine. It takes an extra two and a half minutes and they pat you down and they say what they're doing and they're very respectful. It's kind of nice to be touched, right? Yeah, it's intimate. And somebody has to. Yeah, right? So in this last round on my way from LA, the TSA guy was just scummy and he
Starting point is 00:49:27 was like, he just, he looked the worst and he gave me this look like you're in for something fun now. And he wanted to make jokes about it while it was happening. And so he stuck his finger around my waistband and then around the back and he's behind me and he goes oh i see a butt crack wow that is rude i see a butt crack yeah because he was looking for it well actually to be fair he he was surprised he had looked across the room at a plumber somebody fixing the x-ray machine.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I always opt out of that as well, because I don't want them to have my penis on file. Right. That's the major concern. I'm not worried about them spreading cancer all over my body. But also, I feel like this dehumanizes me, but it also kind of dehumanizes the people who have to touch me. Yeah, agreed. Agreed, yeah. Like, touch my filthy body. When somebody asked me if I wanted the pat down, they said, you can opt for the pat down
Starting point is 00:50:30 as opposed to the thing. And I said, let's do this. I was trying... This is actually totally true. It's not a joke. I'm a backscatter cow tower. Enthusiast.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah. I buy plane tickets just to go through the machine. Yeah, I know. I swear, I can sure ask me about my backscatter. Yeah, you put messages on your penis for them to read. Penis on File is my favorite Tom Selleck movie. Tom Selleck? He made like three movies, and one was Mr. Baseball.
Starting point is 00:51:02 That was a great movie. The other one was Quigley Down Under. Name the third. Oh, three men and a baby Mr. Baseball. That was a great movie. The other one was Quigley Down Under. Name the third. Oh, three men and a baby. Oh, yeah. We did it. I go through the backscatter machine, and when I'm 20 feet away, when I'm 20 feet out, I start kind of going to some go-to boner inducements to just develop a little more of a presentation.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Sure, yeah. Boner inducements. That's my favorite Tom Selleck movie. Boner inducements down under. Him and Rob Schneider. Would it pick up a fart? The machine. The backscatter?
Starting point is 00:51:39 Would it pick it up? What? I think backscatter is just a euphemism for a fart. That's our new word. You guys are just backscattering. Whoa, who backscattered in here? Never mind, it was me. Now give me a pat down.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Penis on file. Dave, do you have an overheard? Mine's an overseen. Go on. It's a car up the street from my house. You know, occasionally you'll see a car that's... I think it happens a lot on vans. A van or a car is really
Starting point is 00:52:18 dirty and people start writing stuff in the dirt. They'll write wash me or also available in white white I've seen. Oh, that's clever. I like that. Yeah. And then I just saw this one on a car,
Starting point is 00:52:30 on the back window of a car. And the car's been sitting there for over a year. I see it every day. And someone wrote, clean me please, Ron. Love your wife. It's so good. This is sad.
Starting point is 00:52:55 It's like the car had material, it had worked so hard to materialize that sentence out of the dust. Yeah, come on, Ron. It's up to you. No one else is going to clean me. This is not an off-road vehicle. My garage door used to get tagged all the time because we live in a little bit of a...
Starting point is 00:53:11 Not a great neighborhood. Hollywood. It used to get tagged with indecipherable gang symbols and things. But one time somebody tagged, I love red wine. You're like, that's red wine. You're like, that's a keeper. We're leaving that one. Just enthusiasm.
Starting point is 00:53:29 I love Ron's red wine. Do you do either of you like red wine? Sure. Allergic. I prefer it to white. I prefer it to white. I prefer it to white. Dave spends a lot of time in Italian restaurants
Starting point is 00:53:49 It's a fun winter wine It can have a room temperature Oh that's fun, that is fun It's a fun winter wine You know the kind of wine that is red wine I'm a kind of a wine A connoisseur Wine smith
Starting point is 00:54:02 Wine smith is my favorite of the smith. And so my favorite kind is probably... Wine smith is my favorite of the smiths. There's Willow and Will. I thought you were going to say wine smith was my favorite Tom Selleck movie. Yeah. Wine smith. He goes into the mines to... To get to Blu-ray.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Well, Graham. Yes? Do you have an overheard? My overheard comes courtesy of the gentleman that was wearing the baseball hat with no brim and no shoes. And he seemed like, I think, at the core of his person, he was like a guy who was like, he was very comfortable just talking to strangers and kind of striking up conversations. And he seems like he was a very good-natured person because he was helping an older man hell like get all his luggage down and i guess the older guy they were talking about like he was undergoing cancer treatments and the hippie guy was disgusted by the cart that was given by bc ferries to move this guy's stuff around he's
Starting point is 00:54:56 like god damn it i can't i mean geez you know what if you had breast cancer you wouldn't be moving around on a shitty cart like this. That's not logical. No, no, that was great. And the old guy is like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you get a point there. Gotta play the cards I was dealt. Yeah, exactly. That's at the point that I realized, oh, these guys have just met.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Like, these are not companions at all. This guy's like, mm, right, right. Are there cancer class wars like like certain kinds are considered cooler than other kinds or skateboard cancer is the greatest everybody loves skateboard cancer not so cool we also have overheards that were sent in via electronic mail. Yeah, and if you want to email us, which is short for electronic mail, our email address is stoppodcastingyourselfatgmail.com
Starting point is 00:55:56 At email.com And by all means, join Google Plus while you're there. Right? Yeah, they really want everybody on board. They pulled out all the stops. Do you guys know what that is yet? Sure, we're on it. I know, but I'm on it, but I don't know what it is. I don't get it. I don't know. I have no idea what it is.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I've clicked on the thing. Does that mean I'm on it? It feels like a Facebook thing. It feels like Facebook, and I don't use Facebook, so I don't want to use that either. But I got invited. And it would be rude not to be. I don't think I've been invited. But I got invited. And it would be rude not to. I don't think I've been invited. Were you invited? Did you be invited? I did be invited.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Pretty good. I can see that I'd be on that note. I've got $499 left. This first sent in overheard comes from Travis in Sudbury, Ontario. I was at Dairy Queen the other day and saw a young family eating hot dogs outside
Starting point is 00:56:48 when I heard the four- or five-year-old girl say to her mom, I don't want any more hot dog, mom, but you only had one bite, girl. I want ice cream, mom. Sweetheart, the Dairy Queen doesn't give ice cream to little girls that don't eat their hot dogs. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:57:05 I don't even think Dairy Queen has a Dairy Queen doesn't give ice cream to little girls that don't eat their hot dogs. Whoa. I don't even think Dairy Queen has a Dairy Queen. Do they? No. It's not. There is no The Dairy Queen. No, but there should be. That's brilliant. The Dairy Queen.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Yeah. Why did they never market anything? The only characters I remember from Dairy Queen are Dennis the Menace. Yeah, right. On the sides of their Mr. Misty cups. When you were a kid, did your parents ever, like if you were at a restaurant eating a hamburger and you wouldn't finish it, did they ever just eat the meat part? Oh, sure. Well, I'm now on the other end of that where I'm creating the bargains.

When you slide into third and your pants are full of turds. Oh, sure. There's no second no i think yeah because uh the first part like you why you don't even slide into
Starting point is 00:59:33 first the logic doesn't make any sense i slide around all the bases that's my move that's why i was popular in baseball and then slides, every base, out in the field sliding back and forth. Like you slide into first, you're out. And then I slide back into the bullpen. Then you run over to second. You're like, you still run the bases even though you're out. Okay, this next one comes from David P. I work in an office building where everybody is in cubicles,
Starting point is 01:00:01 so overheard potential is off the charts. I didn't know there were charts. We should start the overheard charts. Nah, Fitz and Mrs. have already done it. I'm at my computer, and I hear all of a sudden, Hey, how many babies did that octomom have again? Well done, cubicle friend. Although it is a bit confusing, because John and Kate plus eight have eight kids,
Starting point is 01:00:23 but she didn't have them all at once. No, that's true. And they only call her Octo-Mom because she had her babies in the octagon. Yeah, sure. Against Chuck Liddell. She's the first pregnant lady of UFC. You know when someone, like if you consider you doing UFC up against like a UFC guy, you'd be like, oh man, I would soil myself. That's what she did, except she actually had eight babies.
Starting point is 01:00:52 She thought she was soiling herself, but actually it was giving birth to... She was featured on I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. Eight times. Wasn't there an MTV show where if you were a bully, you had to go up against a UFC guy? Yeah. What? And the UFC guy would beat these bullies to a pulp. It was pretty great.
Starting point is 01:01:10 No, I think he would just go, and give them a nuggy. You're not so bad. Yeah. The UFC guy just sits down and talks to him about how your dad bullies you, and now you're bullying other people. Why is that wrong? Here's some tips. Here's some tips on bullying.

Starting point is 01:03:09 Hey, great show so far. This is Kent from Denver. I like that. A rare combination overheard and drunk dial. I was just at a bar, and I saw a mid-20s, 25-year-old guy hitting on a girl who was probably, maybe she was 50 years old. She was easily twice his age. I love it.
Starting point is 01:03:31 And he was trying to close the deal with her. And he looked at her and said, man, you look just like Susan Sarandon. And she got a terrible look on her face. You have to specify the era. No, but like an old Susan Sarandon. You know, like a gross Susan Sarandon. From Heartbreakers. Was she in there?
Starting point is 01:03:56 No, was it? It was Sigourney Weaver. Oh, I always get them confused. It was a foxy Sigourney Weaver and an even foxier Jennifer Luffy. With Gene Hackman in that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a foxy Sigourney Weaver and an even foxier Jennifer Love Hewitt. With Gene Hackman in that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Was it like Bill Murray in an interview referred to Jennifer Love Hewitt as, he goes, you know that one that was in the movie where she's wrapped up in the beautiful dress? You know, she's got the body that won't quit. Yes. Very nice. I love it. When did he say that? That was in a GQ interview from last year.
Starting point is 01:04:29 He goes, yeah, you know, the one that had the body that won't quit. Oh, Bill Murray. The modern day Frank Sinatra. Right? Oh, he's the greatest. I always get Susan Sarandon and Sigourney Weaver mixed up. Oh, gosh, really? What's something Susan Sarandon's done lately?
Starting point is 01:04:43 I mean, I know the difference. She helped seal that deal for that dude at the bar yeah i mean uh roger dodger what's the best era of each of them susan sarandon's best era rocky horror pictures i know i would say she was like super hot in lorenzo's oil ghost ghostbusters i know that's that's wait what did i say that's sigourney weaver yeah it's ghostb Ghostbusters. Yeah. Susan Sarandon. I said Lorenzo's oil. Okay. That's when she was at her Foxy's.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Or Deadman. Well, she wasn't Foxy in Deadman. No, but she was. She was really actor-y, though. Yeah. But she was the, I mean, she is the consummate MILF in Bull Durham. Right. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:20 But does she have children in that? Off the shoulder, then. Well, she's an ILF. Yeah. Okay. She's an elf. Yeah, okay. She's an elf. And Sigourney Weaver, alien. An elf I like.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Sigourney Weaver, ghostbusters. She was super sexy in Ghostbusters. Yeah, but isn't she wearing just a tank top in one of the alien movies? Yeah. And undies. Yeah, and underpants. Sigourney Weaver was also one of the hot blue aliens in Avatar. Oh, right. No. Oh, wasn'taver was also one of the hot blue aliens in Avatar. Oh, right.
Starting point is 01:05:46 No. Oh, wasn't she a human who turned into a blue? Yeah, they weren't hot, though, were they? Were you attracted to the aliens in Avatar? Yeah, I'm attracted to everything. You're just like a Stanford t-shirt. You just... Are there hot blue aliens at your gym where you work out?
Starting point is 01:06:04 Well, there's one. There were no fat aliens at Avatar. There was no, like, really out of shape. Those are called Smurfs when they're fat. That looks good, right? Yeah, right? Katy Perry. Branching out.
Starting point is 01:06:19 She's Smurfette. Were there other female Smurfs? Nope, that was it. There's always that thing about, you know, is she repopulating the Smurf? She was never pregnant, though. No. Well, not that we saw. That's true. There were
Starting point is 01:06:33 a lot of episodes where she was shipped off to Smurf school. Don't they say Smurfing everything? Yeah. Like, Smurf school for Smurfs. For Smurfs. See, they all would Smurf her one at a time and she'd go off to smurf to go to give smurf to a smurf that's a long child smurf her smurfing canal uh in in hawaii they use aloha the same way
Starting point is 01:07:01 smurfing. This is going to be a breach smurf. Guys, this is the greatest. Next overheard. After smurf. Hi, Dave and Graham. This is Jessa from Chicago. I just went to see the movie Bad Teacher.
Starting point is 01:07:28 And while I was sitting in the theater, the couple next to me were talking and the girl leaned in to her husband and said, When is this woman going to start teaching the kids? Wow. Oh, that's good. I just saw the word teacher in the movie.
Starting point is 01:07:51 She's not a very good teacher. Oh, wait a minute. She looks at her ticket. See, this is what I want to know. Not having seen the movie, not ever will be having seen the movie. You never know. You it be having seen the movie you might be on a plane you might right there might be some kind of uh clockwork orange situation where your eyes are i guess yeah to cure you of your cameron diaz obsession sure i would like to know does she become
Starting point is 01:08:17 a good teacher in the end is it that kind of a story where she has to redeem herself in order to get justin timberlake well that's why you need to see the movie. No. All right. To get Justin Timberlake, I thought she was going to get Jason Segel. Oh, this is confusing. I feel like Cameron Diaz is the opposite of a Sigourney Weaver or a Susan Sarandon. Yeah, agreed. Somebody who, as she goes along, is less and less tolerable. Right.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Because it's like, well, you still are acting like a teenager. Yeah. I don't know. She dated Justin Timberlake for a very long time right i haven't seen that played up at all uh i saw it in an interview and they both played it down so people who tried to play it up it was a real power struggle i also noticed that they basically wrote jason siegel out of the promos no justin timberlake out of the promos. It was originally Jason Segel was all over it, and then slowly they turned it around, and then all of a sudden it was Justin Timberlake,
Starting point is 01:09:09 because they were like, oh, people don't care. No, people don't care about Justin Segel. He doesn't fill the seats. I wish Timberlake was in more movies. He's a great actor. I think he's going to be really great in that remake of that Ashton Kutcher movie that they made earlier this year. Oh, right, The Friends with Benefits.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Do you appreciate Justin Timberlake on an SNL? Yeah, I get that he's one of the people who now hosts once a year. Because he's got characters that he does every time now. But he's not good in movies. And I don't like on SNL that every time he enters a scene, he gets applause. Like, he's the host. He's in every scene.
Starting point is 01:09:58 He's this generation's Kramer. Yeah, exactly. He's like Bud Bundy. But did you guys hear the thing that Justin Timberlake was one of the people who purchased MySpace? Oh, really? I didn't know that. That has to be one of the least self-aware, like, you know you played that guy in that movie, right? Yeah. in that movie, right?
Starting point is 01:10:21 Yeah. Like, that's not weird to you, like, that you're, you know, one of these and then you bought
Starting point is 01:10:28 into a thing. Like, you just should stay away from the internet buying business altogether, right? If you're a... The social network
Starting point is 01:10:35 ownership. Yeah, like, just stay out of that game because you played one of those dudes. Anyways. Anyways,
Starting point is 01:10:41 finally, and finally, an overheard from a sushi restaurant. Cast your mind. Okay. Hey, guys. It's Francesca from Portland with a combo drunk dial.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Overheard? So I was at the dinner today, tonight, at a sushi place. And my buddy, who I was out to to dinner with got up to go to the bathroom and I noticed a table and was kind of people watching and like one of the dudes was wearing flip-flops and this was like a pretty nice sushi place and two of the dudes were wearing their sunglasses like backwards around the nape of their neck. And I started to get all judgy and be like, oh, what a bunch of douche wads. But then I was like, no, you know, you got to have the benefit of the doubt or whatever.
Starting point is 01:11:41 And so then a couple of minutes later, the waiter, like, comes by with their food, and he, like, sets the food down and he takes maybe like one step away from the table and one of the women sitting at the table super loud goes oh wow yeah confirm can i uh just admit that uh when you said before this this overheard comes from a sushi restaurant i was very close to making that decision. Yes. Well, you do have your sunglasses on the nape of your neck. Wow. Now, two of those overheards were also drunk dials. We've been getting
Starting point is 01:12:16 a lot of that lately. Yeah, we encourage it. We do, but I'm also worried that our listeners are drunk all the time. I'm alright with it. Well, it takes up a certain nerve to call into your favorite show it's true yeah um speaking of drunk dials we have a couple that are just drunk good segue do you want to listen to those let's do it yeah theme song when i was a child didn't know what a phone was never tasted liquor either. But one day when I grew up, put two and two together.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Drunk Dazz. Telling my girlfriend to start her period. Drunk Dazz. Telling my friend he looks like a wolf man. Drunk Dazz. Calling Future Shop and asking for Best Buy. Drunk Dazz. Drunk Dazz.
Starting point is 01:13:02 Okay, this first one is from a telephone. I don't have any. I don't remember what the first one's going a telephone. I don't have any. I don't remember what the first one's going to be. So I just said, future or past. Since we went to California, we're still catching up on all our phone calls. So this one is from a fan of our rival hockey team who defeated us three weeks ago. Hey, guys. hockey team who defeated us three weeks ago. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 01:13:24 So I got drunk and watched the Cup. And as a native of Massachusetts, I'm happy that Boston won. But as a big fan of the show, I'm sorry that you guys are sad. And that's not sarcasm. Anyway, I hope this turns out okay for you. I know, Will. You're strong, man. It's true.
Starting point is 01:13:53 What? I think he called that in before our city got set on fire. And I am glad that you clarified that it was something to do with hockey because all I heard at the beginning was, tonight I washed the cup. I was like, you've got to do it. It's hygienic. Tonight I washed the cup.
Starting point is 01:14:12 All of your drunk dialers sound really sleepy, so I think you should just encourage sleep dialers. Like first thing in the morning. No, just set an alarm for 3.30 in the morning. First thing you. Can you set an iPhone to dial at a certain time to just record you snoring? I would like that as a temporary experiment, setting your alarm. Dream dial?
Starting point is 01:14:37 Yeah, for whatever the exact middle of your regular sleeping schedule is, setting an alarm, the exact middle of your regular sleeping schedule is, setting an alarm, and just having the phone on speed dial, just calling us, and just saying whatever is the first thing, and then just hanging up. That's really good. I like that. Yeah, okay. Numbers 206-339-8328. Program it in.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Program it in, then program in an alarm. Yeah. And interrupt your circadian rhythms. Yeah. And one more Dur-a-dial. Oh, this is from a person who kind of claims she's not drunk, like doesn't know for sure if she's drunk. She's drunk.

Starting point is 01:16:19 You're drunk. Wow. That was a cry for help. Yeah. That was outstanding. Did you ever, when you were younger, in your, say, teenage years, when you were first kind of like discovering drinking, did you have any kind of test for yourself to go like, oh, I think I'm drunk? Do you ever? No?
Starting point is 01:16:35 No. No, but boy, would I love to have a breathalyzer close so I could know where I am technically at all times. But no, I never had. You sell them in 7-Eleven. Yeah. Oh, do they really? Yeah. My thing used to be, it doesn't work anymore, but when I was a teenager, if I pinched my
Starting point is 01:16:50 lip and couldn't feel it, then I knew I was drunk. Wow. Like if I had numbed my lips sufficiently, I was drunk. I watch Schindler's List, and if I don't cry... Then you are drunk or you're not drunk? I don't know. Do you play the Schindler play the drinking game every day? Sure.
Starting point is 01:17:07 This test is inconclusive. What am I supposed to be doing? Drink every time it's sad. I love from this angle, the lower half of Adam's face is obscured by the microphone pop filter. So it just looks like he's been unamused by this entire thing. Like all I could see is...
