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 181 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is the Sarah Jewel to my Muji bar, Mr. Dave Shumka.
They were regular people that Dave Letterman used to make fun of.
They owned a convenience store or a souvenir shop?
I feel like it was like a clothing shop. Yeah,
yeah. They sold like, I love New York. No, well, I don't know. Maybe they sold suits.
They wore suits. They did wear suits. Hmm. Write to us, everybody who has an idea of
what they are, please. No, Dave's shaking his head no. I was being sarcastic. And our guest today, who hasn't been here since episode 1996, is what you were saying, right?
That was a guess.
Yeah.
A very funny comedian, one of the organizers of the forthcoming Olio Festival, star and writer of...
Now I forget the title of the movie again.
Steel Viper Force.
Steel Viper Force, Fiero's...
Redemption.
Redemption.
I want to say revenge, but it's redemption.
Redemption.
He redeems himself.
Yeah.
In the prequel, he avenged something.
He avenges something, then he revenges it,
then he redeems.
Oh, no, in the prequel, he pre-venges it.
Oh, yeah, he knows that something bad's going to happen.
Oh, the prequel should be called Fiero's Pre... Prevention pre-venge redemption uh mr cam mcleod is our
guest hello did i get all the credits i feel i obviously i mangled fiero's redemption that's
all right that's uh that was great steel viper force fiero's redemption it's a bit of a long
title yeah but it's uh and's delicious. And it's a movie
in the works.
It's being produced
and funded at the same time. Yes.
We're raising funds for it as we're
filming it. We just filmed...
That's how Jaws was made. Not a lot of people know that.
Really? Tooth by tooth.
That's a lie.
We're gonna need a bigger
boat line was more of like...
No, literally, we're going to need a bigger boat line.
So please support us financially.
Hey, guys, do you want to get to know us?
Sure.
Get to know us.
Now, Cam, Dave was mentioning that you're fundraising for this project,
but it's not on Kickstarter.
It's on another website. It's on Indiegogo indiegogo what's the difference okay so uh indiegogo is exactly
like kickstarter you go on there you can raise funds for any sort of projects that you want to do
um but the main difference with indiegogo is when you raise money you don't have to make it to your goal to get that money.
So our goal is we're trying to raise $10,000.
But if we only raise, say, $2,000, we get that $2,000 still.
And it's not like, sorry, not that many people like you.
You get no money.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that's fun to get some money.
And you've already shot a short.
We've shot, we just, we're finishing shooting the short.
This Sunday is our last shooting day,
and that short is kind of the first act of the movie.
Yeah.
And it ends on a cliffhanger.
Sure.
You better believe it's a cliffhanger.
And then we need more funds to film.
But what does it start with?
Act two and three.
It has a homeless guy.
The very first face you see is Graham Clark's beautiful, beautiful face.
Homeless-ing it up.
Homeless-ing it up, walking in front of train tracks.
That's right.
It's a bit of a nod to Hobo with a Shotgun.
A little bit, yeah.
And I'm wearing slippers in an area that wasn't combed that well for needles.
True enough.
And some cut-off sweatpants
shorts that say volleyball on the ass.
That's right. You've played a
homeless guy before, is that right? Yes, that is correct.
In two other projects.
This is my third homeless.
Do you feel you're being typecast?
I feel like I'm inviting the typecastness.
I'm like
a Louise Guzman. I'm sure no i'm oh he's
always going to be playing a mexican yeah he's that guy yes um you never see him in a period
drama sure although that would be the greatest of all of them
pride and prejudice pride and Pride and Prejudice and Puerto Ricans
Now Cam
let's get off
this whole industry talk
You're so much more than just
All this business
The criticism of this show is that we're too Hollywood
I understand you ate a lot of meat today
I got
some serious meat sweats going on right now.
Where did
you eat this meat? At
Shabusan. Okay.
That's a Mongolian grill?
I believe it's a Korean barbecue.
All you can eat. With sushi.
With a little sushi
on the side. No, it's mostly, like,
everything on the menu is sushi like there's
only like three things you can barbecue yeah no well there's a lot of meat well there's meat that
you can barbecue yeah it's like yeah it's like a lot of sushi uh tapas uh everything's like you
order like one you get a single thing but the meat you order one and you get as me and my friend
found out we're like yeah we'll get one of this, two of this. All this stuff showed up, and it was beautiful.
And then we're like, we'll have two of these meats and two lambs.
Two lambs?
We'll have two full lambs and a cow.
That's pretty much what it looked like they brought.
It was just like four bowls just filled to the brim of raw meat for us to grill.
just filled to the brim of raw meat for us to grill.
And we took this as a challenge and just took the bowls and dumped them upside down onto the grill.
Now, I'm going to stop you right there
because I've never been to this place
and I am confused by what you are saying right now.
Okay.
Was this your first time there?
No, no, no, no.
I've only been once before about two years ago
and I vowed never to go back.
Vow broken.
Fiero's redemption.
But there's places you go to
each table or if you sit at the bar
each seat has its own
open pit flame
cooker barbecue.
Yeah, there's a little barbecue in the middle.
So it's like a fondue-esque
like you have to do a lot of work
before you can eat.
Cook your own meat.
Watch it cook.
Flip it over a couple times.
Here's some chicken.
If you're not good at cooking chicken,
get ready to get sick.
If you're not good at cooking it.
Now, is that fun?
Is it fun to go to a place and cook?
I used to go there all the time.
And then why did you stop?
So many food poisonings?
I can't eat that much anymore.
Really?
Yeah.
You've got an iron constitution and you can eat it super fast.
Yeah, I can eat really fast.
But I used to just be able to like pounds and pounds of food.
But now it's like after six o'clock, I am stuffed.
And you haven't even eaten, but it's six o'clock i am stuffed oh and you haven't even eaten but it's
six o'clock that's the time when my stomach closes and what what does what does the meat
come out at six or what's the correlation to six o'clock oh no that's just me oh okay six o'clock
is your cut off for food uh but like uh uh yeah it's a good place to go if you, in my college days, bring a bunch of young poor guys.
It's like an all-you-can-eat.
Yeah, sure, sure.
And then kind of challenge each other.
Is it the thing where you, like, because they have some places where you pick out stuff and then it's by weight?
Like they weigh it?
No, no, no.
That's Mongoli Grill.
Okay, I've been to that.
Yeah.
But they cook it for you at the Mongolia Grill.
That's what I like about the restaurant.
They cook it for you at the Mongolia Grill.
With those big wands.
They have like the two big wands and they're always slapping them down.
Did you say wands?
They have like these long wooden wands.
That's spelled W-O-N-D.
Whoa, Asian things.
Okay. It's really weird. Racists? Dave? Is that spelled W-O-N-D? Whoa, Asian things. Oh, okay.
It's really weird.
Racist?
Dave?
But like unsuccessfully so.
Yeah.
I meant to say wands like W-O-N and then I added a D on the end and I fucked it up.
W-O-N-G-D?
But the Mongoli Grill has a lot of things like the Shavu Sunware after eating there
because it's all you could eat or like fill this giant bowl with as much stuff as possible.
Yeah, yeah.
You want to get your fill.
Afterwards, you feel terrible.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's about like an hour long.
It's like if a choo-choo train hits the hill and you start chugging up that hill with digestion.
And then when you get to the top, you come slamming down the other side of the mountain with a trip to the bathroom.
Oh, I understand.
I understand how the intestines work.
came into the podcast recording area and threw at dave and i two coasters from uh notorious vancouver strip club the number five orange yeah i've never been to the number five orange the only thing i
know about it well it's in in uh canada's poorest neighborhood the downtown east side
and featuring canada's poorest strippers remember that show that reality show that never did yeah canada's poorest strippers
canada canada's next poorest stripper um uh and the other thing i know about it is bon jovi named
their album slippery when wet uh from a sign at the number five or is that right yeah because uh
girls girls girls was written at uh marbleble Arch. No, the Cobalt.
Oh, the Cobalt.
You heard Marble Arch?
Because that's why they have the Girls, Girls, Girls sign at the Cobalt.
Oh, okay.
Either way, we could both agree that Girls, Girls, Girls was written in Vancouver about Vancouver's trickle.
I had no idea about Slippery When Wet.
That's, wow.
Girls, Girls, Girls is Motley Crue.
Oh, yeah.
What did I say?
Nothing.
I was just asking.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're Motley Crue. And then yeah. What did I say? Nothing. I was just asking. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
They're Motley Crue.
And then didn't Ben Affleck fuck a stripper here?
Brandy's.
Yeah.
Yeah, Brandy's.
That's right.
That was when he was with Jennifer DeLopez.
Jennifer DeLopez.
Yeah.
George Lopez.
Jennifer.
George.
Lopez.
So you went to a strip club.
You had a big day.
You ate a lot of meat. You went to a strip club You had a big day You ate a lot of meat
You went to a strip club
I had a very big day
I was hanging out with an old friend
Is that like slang for heroin?
I was hanging out with an old friend
I got a little cloudy
He spent all my money
I was hanging out with an old friend
Who I haven't seen and uh we went out
for some drinks and then we were parking his car uh that sounds bad yeah we we okay i'll do the
steering wheel you do the pedals we will both park this car then we're only half as liable
but we had one drink and then parked his car and we're like, all right, we're being responsible.
And what's the next most responsible thing to do?
Go into a strip club at 2 p.m.
Oh, gross.
And yeah, it was horrifying.
It was horrifying.
Walked in.
It just went from like, oh, it's a beautiful sunny day out to just like, I'm in like a scene from Carlito's Way.
Oh, it's so dead you're just so dark and there's
like black lights on and there's like just like a couple weird like shadowy figures in the corner
the most shadowy of shadowy and uh and we like sat down and uh had one beer and it was just
really awkward yeah and then like the small asian man who like runs the kitchen came over and he's
like would you like something to eat it's like no i don't want anything to eat he's like
well i'll see you later at the mongolia wherever you're going i'll see you at jebuson
i always get my money yeah but uh we got out of there yeah very quickly it's really seedy
yeah does it smell bad still like smells like smells like, you know, stale beer.
You know what?
I don't think I was doing it on purpose, but I was probably just breathing out of my mouth.
Just like out of...
Had you...
So, you didn't go to Shabu-San until after the number five.
No, yeah.
Number five, then...
You're going to want to go to the strip club on an empty stomach.
Yeah.
You don't want to be going there...
Going there with the meat sweats.
With meat sweats.
That's their top billed dancer this week there with the meat sweats with meat sweats that's their uh
top bill dancer this week yeah meat sweats uh gross completely completely i went there i worked
on a film that was shooting there so they had like uh it was cleaned up a bit but it was they
were filming there for the gross quality of the bar,
so they didn't clean up any of the grossness,
just cleaned off the stools
that the actors were sitting on.
Okay, sorry.
Cleaned off the stools?
Exactly.
The actors left?
They're like dogs that way.
So you've had a great day, it sounds like. top-notch and i was i was i was really excited to come and do this and then on the sky train with the meat
sweats i got a little drowsy but then i sped sped walked over here, and now I'm just
feeling like a million dollars.
Everything's kicked back into gear.
Yeah, and now I'm on this delightful couch.
If you guys could see me out there,
I am laid back.
I feel like there should be a fan on me
and some grapes being fed.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you look like you're having
the time of your life.
And I'm glad that you guys
don't mind this open robe.
I'm cool with it.
I mean, we were hesitant
for sound quality,
but it seems like it's working out okay.
It catches a lot of your vowels.
Now, Dave, what's been
shaking with you?
I feel like we've barely scratched
the surface. Are you kidding me?
We went all over this city with
Camaclava. Yeah, be a tourist
in your own town. Yeah.
We went to the grossest
strip club and he had the
grossest meal and now he feels gross.
I do want to say that Shabu-sen,
I have only
happy memories of going there.
Yeah. Just filling up, it was so great, everyone would look I have only happy memories of going there.
Just filling up.
It was so great.
Everyone would look forward to it so much.
And it got to the point where we had such a short memory about how full we would get.
Yeah.
And so every time we were there, we were like, okay, next time we have to bring Tupperware.
Oh, no, but there's a thing that's on the menu.
It's like no doggy bag.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No take home.
Oh, yeah.
Well, no.
You would bring a secret.
Yes, secret Tupperware.
Large purse.
Yeah, exactly.
Because if you don't finish it, they charge you for it.
So you need to know your limitations. Oh, see, you didn't tell me that there's like a game charge you for it. So it's... What? You need to know your limitations.
Oh, see, you didn't tell me that there's like a game show element to it.
Now I'm intrigued.
The best, the funnest part for me is
when you order too much, and then you have to start
playing the game of how am I going to hide this leftover
food. You throw a lot in the fire,
don't you? You throw the rice in the fire.
Yeah. You learn how to stack
plates and mash things down. All of their plants just have tons of meat in the fire. Yeah. You learn how to stack plates and mash things down.
All of their plants just have tons of meat in the dirt.
But yeah, and then the meat, you just let it burn until it just burns away on the grill.
It's like getting rid of a body, right guys?
Just let it burn, right?
And it's awful to talk about this in the in a world where
people are starving to death but and i've never been charged for for ordering too much and not
eating it but it's always that threat you know what would be a good idea is to make a like go to
a value village or something buy a sports, and then fill it with meat.
Well, I'm getting there.
But put, like, Ziploc bags
in all the pockets, like, line
the pockets with Ziploc bags, and then
go to buffets and such. And stuff
the pockets with. You can even just get, like, some
freezer-sized Ziplocs on the inside.
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah. Like, just have, like,
the... And then just go to
your Shabu Sons, your ABC country buffets, and just fill her up.
But how embarrassing is it when you get stopped by the manager and have to open up your jacket
and you just have, like, a bag of creamed corn and potato salad?
That's what you steal.
I stole all your creamed corn.
I think I've gone out there with people who, like, sometimes, like, generally you order it for the entire table.
And you're like, okay, well, we'll share this whatever, chicken teriyaki.
But then there's one person who wants this, I want this spicy squid thing.
And, like, nobody else wants it.
And this one person is stuck with it.
And then they realize that they don't even want it.
And then I think once we went and someone had to, like, because we were saying, if you don't finish this, this is on you.
You have to pretend it's your pet and walk it out of the stretcher.
I think they ended up taking it to the bathroom and flushing it down the toilet.
What?
That's the worst story ever.
It's kind of like a burial at sea, sending the squid home.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Returning them home. So that's where the problem
With our sewer squid started
It wasn't live
Well
You forgot to put that part in the story
You're talking like there's a sewer squid
That's terrorizing Vancouver
Coming up on their toilets
If you read any of our papers
You know that there's a bunch of feet Washing up on their toilets. Listen, if you read any of our papers, you know that there's a bunch of feet
washing up on shore that people
suspect, I mean, there's no confirmation,
is a result of attacks by the sewer squids.
Sewer squids.
Yeah, well, the sewer squid
from one restaurant and another had babies.
In the sewer.
Yeah, sewer babies.
Sewer style.
It's not just one squid that reaches its tentacle up multiple toilets.
Oh, no, although that's one of the theories.
Yeah, I'm not...
There's like a mega, like a large body,
but this squid has more than just eight legs.
It's got numerous legs that are like 50 feet long each.
And also, what people don't know is
Vancouver is one of the world's
foremost producers of ink.
And that is where we get
a lot of our ink
is from the sewer squids.
Yeah.
From the sewer system.
Yeah.
We get a lot of toilet ink
that we ship around the world.
It's our little secret.
That's,
when you're talking about
like sneaking as much food
from a buffet,
have you ever been to like a hotel with the breakfast like continental free right like as much breakfast as you want
but it's like the cutoff is super early it's like it ends at eight o'clock uh i've been in so many
hotels where i've set the alarm for like 10 to 8 gone downstairs with like the ice bucket or whatever was the biggest container in my hotel room filled it up Just use the Bible to scrape stuff off into the drawer. The hollowed out Bible.
Thanks a lot, Gideon.
Okay, you asked what was going on with me.
And I'll tell you what, not a lot. You're still interested.
Not a lot.
Oh, okay.
But it's something I've been meaning to read on the podcast for many, many weeks.
It's a passage from the Gideons.
It's actually from May, so many months. Many weeks. It's a passage from the Gideons. It's actually from May, so many months.
Many months.
We, like, around April and May, we started getting comments on our old blog posts for this podcast.
And on the recap blogs.
If people don't know, every week I post a blog with the podcast and it has
pictures of the things that we talk
about. Sometimes videos? Yeah.
What so far have we
talked about that would need a picture to explain it?
Probably like some sort of
shabu-san or a
toilet squid. Maybe the number five orange.
Yeah, the number five orange. That kind of thing.
Or celebrities or
whatever.
And we've just been getting this really creative spam.
Oh, yeah.
But not to our email, just in the comments of our old blog before we moved our blog.
To MaximumFun.org.
And I just don't understand the rationale of it because it's someone who uh who went to the blog observed
a couple things on it and then wrote uh wrote comments at the bottom that had to do with the
blog post and had nothing to do with viagra except that if you click on the person's name
who posted it it will take you to a Viagra site.
So I'm going to read some of these because it's bizarre.
Wow, so sneaky.
So we had a post.
I'm already impressed enough to go and buy some Viagra.
Yeah.
We had an episode where we posted
a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Oh, yeah.
I don't remember why.
Sure, sure.
But someone named Viagra Online...
Wait a minute.
That sounds suspiciously like some sort of spam thing.
No, it's not.
It's someone who genuinely loved the blog post.
Seemingly has no idea it's a podcast.
Just wants to talk about things.
So this Arnold Schwarzenegger mention. I love Arnold
because he knows how to perform
in whatever movie he has appeared.
I think he has
the charisma to do all things he wants
and reach his goals.
Wow!
It's a very pleasant comment.
Oh, they're all going to be this way.
Do you know what? It sounds like a fortune cookie run amok.
Like a fortune cookie that's become sentient.
This one is, there was a picture of Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba.
Ooh.
And Viagra Online had this to say.
I like the last image because I think that both actresses are beautiful
because Beale is wild and Alba is like a kind woman,
but both of them are so beautiful.
A kind woman.
She's like a kind woman.
Beale is wild, clearly.
I think she meant a kind of woman.
You think Viagra Online is a she?
Yeah.
Well, you know, there's been a lot of theological debates about whether or not Viagra Online is a he or she.
What if Viagra Online was one of us?
Okay, this is from someone completely different.
This is from by Viagra.
Wait, and the first one was Viagra Online?
The first two were Viagra Online.
I like that they're competing with each other here.
Seemingly.
Well, it's two different, obviously.
You know, it's not the same company.
Yeah.
For some reason, our blog has become the turf on which Viagra gangs battle, rumble.
It's the initiation for Viagra gangs.
Okay, so we had a picture of P.O.D.
Oh, the band.
Yes.
P.O.D.
Yeah.
Payable on death.
It's like rap rock.
Yeah, but I don't remember any of their music.
But wasn't it religious, too?
I think they may have been closet Christians.
Or maybe not closet, but they're...
Was it We Are the Youth of a Nation?
Was that one of their songs?
Yes.
We are, we are.
Everybody.
The youth of a nation.
That's all I know.
But I remember it from...
Maybe I was working in a warehouse at the time.
Sounds like warehouse rock.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some good warehouse rock.
And you wound up Christian at the end of the day. It like warehouse rock. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you wound up Christian
at the end of the day. It was a Christian warehouse.
Mostly Bibles and such.
Okay, so by Viagra
had this... Well, what about by Agra?
Is that taken?
Patent pending, patent pending.
Gives you bisexual boners.
Okay.
By Viagra, she had this to say.
First, P.O.D. is my favorite band.
I think that they play...
I like it.
P.O.D. is my favorite band.
I think that they play so amazing music.
But I am not a fanatic of the rock music.
I like mane genres.
Mane's spelled like
a horse's mane.
Oh, yeah.
Lions, horses,
zebras, etc.
I like mane genres. Also,
Be Real is one of my
favorite singer.
And his band, Cypress Hill!
Exclamation mark.
Wow. I feel like, I don't know if you've ever seen those ads on, they're like often on Craigslist
or, you know, in the classifieds that are like, make tons of money from your home.
I feel like this is what.
Oh, yeah.
Like just by writing it from your own house and they get like a nickel for every blog
post or whatever they make about that links to... Generic Viagra.
Yeah, yeah.
You think maybe it's a podcast listener who just happened to take that job and was like, well, you know, I'm going to be at the blog anyway.
I mean, they're laughing because they're making $10,000 a week right now.
Yeah.
In addition to their regular income.
They're laughing because this is funny also.
And they love main genres,
a lot of horse-riding music.
Yeah.
You're wild stallions, etc.
Sure.
The Lion King soundtrack.
Guy's back in theater for a limited time.
Is it really?
Yeah, in 3D.
I never saw it in 1D.
Was it ever in 1D?
Were the Lion Kings back in 3D?
Yeah, yeah. Wow. Yeah, I actually... It was the first time to see it in 1D. Was it ever in 1D? Were the Lion Kings back in 3D? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I actually... It was the first time to see it
in 3D. I, uh, when I saw
the ad, I was like, uh,
I might, uh, I might go to that.
The only part, the only part
of the Lion King I've ever seen is the holding
up... Yeah, yeah, me too. Is it Zimba?
No. Simba. Simba. Simba. See, that's...
I don't know. Holding up with the tiny,
tiny, cute tiger. Yeah, yeah. Simba. Simba. See, that's... I don't know. Holding up a tiny, tiny cute tiger.
Yeah, yeah.
And...
Lion.
Lion.
No, no, no.
We've born a tiger.
It's like the ugly duck thing.
Holding up a miniature horse.
And...
Then that...
Holding up a tiger.
A tigress.
A tigress, yeah.
It becomes a boy lion.
It's so funny
because it's like literally the only animal you would get
for sure from the title yeah
they call him that because when he grows up he has don king style hair
um so uh other than that i've seen the uh romp romp in the dirt where it spells out sex.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I've seen that as well.
But you've also, you know, Hakuna Matata.
Well, how could I not?
Yeah, it's our problem-free philosophy.
What's a motto?
I don't know.
What's a motto with you?
Et cetera.
Dave knows.
How do you know this by heart?
I'm just a big Nathan Lane and Ernie Siblethalis fan.
They played Timon and Flimskun.
Timba.
Timba?
No, Timon and Pumba.
Timon and the Lion.
Okay.
I really liked the donkey in the Lion King.
It was great.
Eddie Murphy?
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie Murphy in the Shrek line.
I think in the 3D version he might be in it.
Okay, the next one.
There's a lot of these.
The next one is from someone named Generic Cialis.
Oh, ooh.
Generic.
So not even our old friend Viagra.
No, no, no.
our old friend Viagra.
No, no, no.
And we talked about the 7'7 basketball player slash actor George Murasan in an episode.
When do we not?
And posted a picture of him.
I guarantee everything that they talk about in this thing,
we talked about on the podcast.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Well, I remember because he was in the famed Billy Crystal movie,
My Giant.
Iron Giant.
My Lion.
My Tiger.
Okay.
Generic Cialis had this to say.
Outside basketball,
Murasan has dabbled in acting,
playing the title character
in 1998 feature film My Giant
starring comedian Billy Crystal.
I think that is so interesting.
It is.
Generic Cialis is not incorrect.
Just very mediocre in their response.
That thing I just told you?
The open-ended.
That piece of information I gave you?
It was really interesting.
Yeah.
I guess I'd hate to get caught in a corner with generic Cialis at a party.
They're just telling me facts about things that I already know.
And then being like, that is interesting.
Let me tell you something else that's interesting.
Okay, this is a new person.
So we've had Viagra Online, Viagra Online,
by Viagra, generic Cialis.
Oh, this is another Viagra Online,
who we determined is a woman.
Yeah.
Okay, so...
A hot woman.
No, a kind of woman. A a woman. Okay, so... A hot woman. No, a kind of woman.
A kind woman.
Okay.
I guess we posted a video of the rap group The Fat Boys.
I'm assuming the video was for the song All You Can Eat.
All You Can Eat, yeah.
From the movie Crush Groove?
Crush Groovin'.
Crush Groovin'?
Yeah.
Ah, what about...
Wasn't there... They had a famous one about... Crush Groovin'! Body grooovin'? Yeah. Ah, what about, uh, wasn't there, they had a famous one about...
Crush Groovin'!
Body Groovin'.
That was my Jerry Lewis.
Didn't they have a famous, like, Nightmare on Elm Street?
That's, uh...
Rap.
That's the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna call you out on it and say that it was the Fat Boys.
You know what?
It's called Nightmare on My Street. I think it was the Fat Boys. It's by the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Uh, let's put some money on it and say that it was the Fat Boys. You know what? It's called Nightmare on My Street.
I think it was the Fat Boys.
And it's by the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Let's put some money on this.
I will put some money on it right now.
Just like, let's make this friendly, a $10 bet.
Okay.
Alright, let's shake on it.
Yep.
Alright.
So you, okay.
When we come back after the break, we'll determine that I am the winner.
Alright.
You have the Fat Boys?
Yeah.
Okay, and you have...
Will Smith, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
He wasn't of Bel-Air in his rap career.
No, the Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
Well, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
You're going to regret this, my friend.
Viagra Online had this to say about the Fat Boys video.
The video is really good.
Some of the people in the photos are so famous.
I really like this kind of things.
I would like to read more about it.
Exclamation mark.
I am telling you nothing.
I don't know.
They seem friendly enough.
I know, but you think it's like a really withholding woman.
Yeah.
She's withholding my Cialis.
Give me my Cialis.
They never actually mention what they're talking about, right?
So they could just be putting that on anything.
Oh, sometimes they are.
They're like, P.O.D. is my favorite band.
Or George Marison was in a movie called My Giant.
But that one was very...
Yeah, that one.
Some of the people in these pictures are really famous.
Yeah, they got really lazy on that one.
They're trying to make their quota.
P.O.D. is my favorite band.
I don't really like rock music.
No, but you know,
it's like, you know,
I don't know.
I was going to try and think of
an artist where I like one artist,
but not the whole genre.
P.O.D. is my favorite band.
I don't really like bands, per se.
I like solo artists.
Okay, so we've had Generic Cialis.
Now, this time, Generic Viagra.
How many more are these up?
There's three more.
And by Generic, is this kind of like the yellow brand of Viagra?
President's Choice.
No-name brand.
Viagra.
Okay, Generic Viagra.
We posted a video of Corey Feldman.
I think it must have been the video of him singing his song, Honesty.
Oh, yeah, on Much Music.
On Much Music's Electric Circus.
Oh, God, that was harsh.
I feel like I'm going to have to repost all of these videos in this blog.
I feel like this would have been a great, the more that we're doing it,
it would have been a great game to have, like, this is the quote that Cialis Online wrote.
What is the thing they are talking about?
What are they talking about?
Okay.
Well, all right.
We'll start with this one.
But it's the Corey Feldman video.
Ha ha ha.
Blank's video is fucking funny.
They got a little sweary.
Oh, yeah.
I hadn't seen before, but I must say, it impressed me so much.
I can't stop to laugh.
You can't.
I'm busy.
Laughing at this Corey Feldman video.
And printing out swear words.
Typing in swears.
I really like this idea of a guessing game.
So this next one from Baye Viagra, who we've had before.
Yeah, they were the P.O.D. fan.
I won't tell you what movie they're talking about.
Okay, it's a movie.
But you won't ever be able to guess it.
We'll see.
Is it My Giant?
Okay.
Is it The Tiger King?
All right.
Blank, this movie, is the best movie of all time.
Even the productions had not all the necessary resources to produce it.
They made a great job.
Also, the starring is simply majestic.
Oh, wow!
Okay.
See, I feel like there's...
Is there a hint in the fact that they said that the production didn't have all the money?
Nope.
Okay, so it wasn't like the Blair Witch Project or something.
Okay.
I'm going to take into consideration that P.O.D. is their favorite band.
Yep.
Oh.
But they don't like bands.
They don't like rock music.
They don't like rock music.
So I'm going to throw a guess out there and say
Trespass starring Ice Cube and Ice-T.
My guess is either...
When you were saying the religious thing,
I was thinking Michael starring John Travolta.
But I'm going to say
it was Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
The answer is
Honey, I Shrunk the Kid.
They had a good budget for that.
Okay, this final one is from Generic Viagra again, who you may remember.
Love the Corey Feldman video.
Yes.
This will be super easy.
They're talking about a pop band.
Okay.
I'll be honest.
The only thing I liked was the sexy Russian teens.
Because look at what a sexy they are touching their bodies.
I like this game a lot.
Now I can't remember what they're called.
All the things you said.
All the things you said.
Running through my head.
But I keep calling them.
In my head, I'm calling them TikTok.
They're not going to get us.
But that's not it.
Yeah, they're TikTok by Kesha.
What was the...
Called like a mishmash or...
They are something like that.
Yeah. Bim, blim, bam. Yeah. X. What was the... It's called like a mishmash or... They are something like that.
Bim, blim, bam.
Yeah.
X.
I'm fun to have you guessing.
Tattoo.
Oh, there you go.
All the things you said. Tattoo.
Okay, so that's what's been going on with me.
That was great.
That's nice.
A little retreat, a vacation from ourselves.
Yeah, right? Now, Graham, what's been going on with you? I understand you're... That was great. Yeah. Nice. A little retreat from a vacation from ourselves. Yeah.
Right.
Now, Graham, what's been going on with you?
I understand you're, I, I offered you a second beer tonight and you turned me down.
Yeah.
I'm a, in the mode of, I've gone back to my first love, day laboring.
So I have to get up early in the mornings these days.
Oh, would you?
Try to find, try to find find jobs for the day or week.
So I've been loading trucks all week.
Oh, I didn't know this.
I know.
I was saving it for the podcast.
Pretty good, right?
It is pretty good.
Well, you know, day laborers hate to drink.
No, it's true.
It's like I haven't been going down to the day labor places, which I used to do, but this Craigslist has evolved so well that you don't have to, you could just look online first thing in the morning and there's usually something.
So I've been, but here's the thing, if you've never, have you ever just worked?
Oh, I've done the day with day labor there's always and maybe it's just me
but to see if this uh rings true when you show up at the place that you're like there's kind of a
period of time when you show up where you're like am i going to be hunted as game like is this
do you know like you go in this hard target yeah you go in and you're like you're checking
everything out everything seems pretty on the
level but there might be like some little detail that you're like that's kind of weird like i've
never seen that before why did this oldsmobile town car just pull up in this kind of suit come out
but uh since when does oldsmobile make a town car oh Oh, man. I called you on your American cars, bro. Sorry, sorry.
What?
Who makes the town car?
Lincoln.
Lincoln.
Lincoln.
Yeah, yeah.
Lincoln.
Fleet sales.
But this time around, I was helping a warehouse move, and they had these giant shelves that
needed to be taken apart, and they'd been there for a decade or something.
Ooh, gross. From 2001. I know, right? Ooh. shelves that needed to be taken apart and they'd been there for a decade or something so gross from 2001 i know right the 21st century guys never forget um but we had to kind of knock apart the
beams and he brought out like an axe to hit the beams with and that was like the first thing that
he did he was like all right follow me and i was like come first thing that he did. He was like, all right, follow me. And I was like, no, no, no.
Come with me into this warehouse.
Follow me and my axe.
So that was interesting.
And I worked with a guy that I'm, I don't know.
There was something that, he didn't speak very much.
Even when I asked him questions, he didn't really... Like, he spoke English.
I know that.
But he had a lot of secrets.
I think he had a lot of secrets.
And at one point, we were moving a phone.
You were both moving a phone?
Yeah, he had the receiver and I had the bass.
We were moving stuff in this office. You parked the car with a guy.
Yeah, that's true.
But he pressed a button that made it go to speakerphone, and he panicked.
He went, ooh!
Dropped the phone.
I thought you were going to say he pressed a button and a trapdoor opened up.
And the guy with the axe was waiting down there.
But then we just sharpened his axe.
No harm, no foul.
Well, I didn't know you were day laboring.
This is a tragedy
You're a national treasure, Graham
But, you know, let's get paid
I'm going to say this, too
What?
You're looking slimmer
Hey, thanks, buddy
Yeah
I've been sweating it
Sweating it out
You know, warehouse style
Also, the warehouse I was working in has
You took shop class in high school, right?
What? No Oh, did you take shop class? Oh you you took shop class in high school right what no oh
did you take shop class but it was only like a three-month thing sure when i got to like choose
what i did it was not that oh oh yeah if we had had mandatory shop class i would have taken shop
they have these old uh they've been in many of the places that I've worked at over the years they're from
I want to say like 1981 posters
from BC Workers Compensation Board
that was Cam Burpick
for record
it's the Shabu's and Garlic Burp
a bunch of meat
but they're these very
like
gory posters.
Like, there's, like, a shoe, like, kind of like a Converse sneaker with just, like, covered in blood.
And it says, like, the workplace.
Not a place for the old soft shoe.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
They're, like, they're brutal safety posters.
Yeah, they're safety posters, but they're terrifying.
You need to bring a proper tap shoe
to the workplace.
And then
at one point,
I was in a...
We had to get into this
giant dumpster thing to
move stuff around.
Dispose of our own body. Another scary
moment. Hey, get in this dumpster!
Get in this dumpster!
Dig this grave! But he's just saying it like a 1950s producer hey dig this yeah dig this that sounds really cool
hey dig this grave uh but it was the most kind of rickety setup to get in the dumpster like you
had to balance a ladder on the side and later on on in the day, I asked the guy, like,
what's the building across the street?
Because there were a lot of, like, it seemed at lunch,
everybody was jogging at this place.
And I was like, what place has, like, mandatory jogging?
And it was WorkSafeBC was right across the street
from where we were balancing on this dumpster.
On a ladder.
You might as well have just been fingering the building while I'm up there.
You see what I'm doing?
I've got the poster on my shirt.
Look at my soft shoes.
I'm doing a soft shoe on the side.
In thongs.
Do you own a steel-toed boot, Craig?
Yeah.
Just one?
Two.
Two?
A lefty and a righty.
Well, listeners, just so you know, you can advertise on our show, and you can keep Graham
away from getting murdered by someone on Craigslist.
Go to MaximumFun.org slash Jumbotron.
It's $100 for a personal message, $200 for a corporate message, and that's one day Graham doesn't have to go down into a pit.
Hey, feed my snakes.
They're in a pit.
on the bus the other day and like you know how sometimes you you're like driving and you just keep pace with the same vehicle at every red light yeah like you're ahead of it and then it catches up
to you and then it's ahead of you and you catch up to it uh i was on the bus and it was neck and
neck with this ice cream truck but it's like i realized that that it only takes just a little bit of disarray or a little bit of dirt on an ice cream truck to make it look super creepy.
Like, if an ice cream truck is not gleaming white, it looks fucking terrifying.
A little bit of mud spat up from the back tires, like it was off-road for some reason.
What were you doing off-road there?
What were you doing in the forest with this ice cream truck?
So, yeah, I saw it was an ice cream truck, but it was the craziest thing because it was a van with ice cream stickers on the side of like, you could buy this Spider-Man popsicle or this Ninja Turtles popsicle or whatever.
But it wasn't a like yeah ice cream
i remember when i was a kid there were there were there were only the ice cream truck like with the
like like a mail truck yeah yeah yeah that kind of setup and now they have the occasional van
yeah which i don't know this was kind of like a like a dirty white van with stickers on the side and i was like well that just could be anything
right it's like if they got a hearse and put the stickers up for the ice cream on the side of our
hearse that would be not something that you'd want to buy ice cream yeah although i'm sure it would
be uh really cold in a hearse they like slide they like slide out the like coffin out the back
where it just you know and then like the the coffin lid pops open and the hand comes out with the thing right
with the rocket popping yeah that would be fun if you're a kid if it was like us
you know what i would trust a hearse with uh ice cream stickers on it more than this creepy white
van yeah true um yeah because a hear hearse is so conspicuous.
Yes.
Yeah, they're not hiding that it's a hearse.
Yeah.
And it'd be really fun, like, on Halloween to just have it in your neighborhood.
That'd be the only way to get...
And they'd only serve the popsicles that are shaped like the ghost from Pac-Man.
Pac-Man?
Wait a minute, is that a thing?
Yeah, they have those, like, ghost-shaped popsicles, and the eyes were gumballs.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gumball eyes.
Now they have a Spider-Man, because no kids today know what Pac-Man is.
Yeah, but it's weird, because the Spider-Man has gumball eyes, but Spider-Man doesn't have eyeballs on his mask.
Maybe the new one.
Kids need gum with their ice cream.
They demand it.
with their ice cream.
They demand it.
But I was talking about that.
Like I was saying like,
yeah, it doesn't take a lot to make an ice cream van super creepy.
And Alicia Tome was like,
oh,
that should be a horror movie.
And I was like,
it was a horror movie starring Clint Howard.
Oh really?
And as a guy who was like a crazy guy who escaped
from an asylum and then drives
an ice cream truck. And I remember
in the movie that one of the
ongoing gags is he would behead somebody
and then put their head on a giant
coconut.
Remember America's Love Affair
with serial killers? Yeah.
Well, he has to be crazy
in this way. Yeah. He's he has to be crazy in this way.
Yeah.
He's got to be the lifeguard.
And all his victims get drowned.
Or Sleepaway Camp.
It was a cheerleader-style killing.
Uncle Sam.
Do you remember Uncle Sam?
No.
Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam killed...
He pointed at you and he said,
I want you to die.
That literally is the tagline of the movie.
Oh.
I want you, dot, dot, dot, to die.
And he killed, like, hippie flag burners.
Because he was a patriotic, crazy guy.
In the, like, 80s, that seemed to be the equation was like, step one, he's a murderer.
Yeah.
And he's crazy.
But in what way is he crazy?
Right.
Then we add in the, is he an ice cream driver?
Does he kill you in real life or in your dreams?
Is he like the undead?
Can you not kill him?
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Are all of his crimes scarecrow themed?
Or are they teacher-based?
Yeah, can we make him as mundane as possible?
Make you scared of, like, a toilet.
Yeah.
Not that.
The, uh...
Candyman.
When we were talking about...
Oh, yeah, toilet, for sure.
Candyman.
Candyman.
But when we were talking about the sewer squid, I was thinking about that movie Ghoulies.
Oh, yeah, Ghoulies came up in the toilet
Yeah, they're like little monsters that came up through the toilet
And like bit your butt
Until you died
You guys better cut it out
Or I'm gonna die
Didn't Cindy Lauper have that song
Ghoulies Got What It Takes
I don't know what you're referring to
Was that even the name of it?
She had the song in Ghoulies Got What It Takes? I don't know what you're referring to. Was that even the name of it? She had the song in Goonies.
Yeah, but I think, like,
toilet monsters, that's a...
That's a genre.
That's its own genre.
That's a very scary possibility
of something coming up out of the toilet.
But, like, Psycho made everyone afraid of the shower.
Jaws made everyone afraid of swimming.
Right.
You know, like, there's gonna be someone who, oh, I'm afraid of eating cotton candy.
And the new Shark Night 3D is going to make everyone afraid of apparently crazy shark trainers that live in the bayou.
Is that a new real movie?
Yeah, it's called Shark Night 3D.
And I just realized because I saw one of the new trailers.
And at first it was like
These kids are like
On a lake
And
They're getting killed by sharks
I'm like
What is going on here?
But in the newest trailer
It's like
Like how would you like it
If there was like
Maniacs
Like training sharks
And then releasing them
Into the lake
To kill everybody
I would like it very much
Thank you
Yeah
Sharks can't survive
I will take one
Admission ticket Is it in the Great Salt Lake? Sharks can't survive In the freshwater Oh yeah I would like it very much, thank you. I will take one admission ticket.
Is it in the Great Salt Lake?
Because sharks can't survive in the freshwater.
Oh yeah, maybe it is the Salt Lake.
I don't know.
And on top of it, it's like, do we really need...
Aren't sharks being decimated enough?
I don't think we need to re-engage the smear campaign against sharks.
Let's get a new oceanic figure.
How about crows?
We can thin their numbers out a bit.
Big crabs?
Apparently, sharks kill five people a year.
Hippopotamuses kill like 3,000.
That's true.
For real?
Yeah, hippopotamuses.
The hippodrome. All right, write it. It's about two Yeah. Hippopotamus is like... The hippodrome.
All right, write it.
It's about two kids...
In a velodrome.
In a velodrome.
And a bunch of crazy kids,
guys, not kids,
guys from the bayou...
Yeah.
...that are training hippos.
Thin, fast hippos.
Yep.
They're aerodynamic.
With huge thighs to pedal.
And they get them really angry
by, like, smacking them on the ass a lot to make their jaws move.
Yeah, they're hungry.
And then they eat marbles.
I just had a hippopotamus for lunch.
What? How does that go?
That was Zoo... Animal Getty? What was the... Oh, Alpha Getty. No, was Zoo Animal Getty.
What was the...
Oh, Alpha Getty.
No, no.
Animal Getty?
The one with animals.
It was Zoodles.
Zoodles.
Zoodles.
Zoodles.
Tell all your friends.
Tell the whole bunch.
I just had a hippopotamus for lunch.
Yes.
No, but in certain parts of the world, that would be true, that you actually had a hippopotamus
for lunch.
And in other parts of the world, hippopotamus eats you.
Russia?
Why are there so many people getting killed by hippopotamuses?
They, like, turn over boats and stuff.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I'd like to see a killer walrus.
Sure.
Yeah.
Why not?
Who wouldn't?
Yeah.
Why not?
Yeah. Get the Mythbusters involved.
They got the giant tusks.
Mm-hmm.
Great for killing somebody by taking both their eyes out at the same time.
That would be a great shot.
Oh, it was like...
That'd be the take-home shot.
It was like Snakes on a Plane, which was all about how can we get these snakes to kill people in every way imaginable?
Yeah, that's true. It was like, okay, I want a snake to bite a guy in the crotch.
I want a snake to bite a girl's boob.
There was a toilet snake in that, right?
There was a girl's boob gets bit by a snake.
Piranha 3D was the same way.
Oh, yeah.
A piranha eats an actual penis that's floating in the water.
No, one of them eats it, spits it back up, and then another one eats the rest of it.
Oh, gross.
That seems... That's suddenly gross. Whoa, whoa, that's too far. Yeah. Ew, spits it back up, and then another one eats the rest of it. Oh, gross. That seems...
That's suddenly gross.
Whoa, whoa, that's too far.
Ew, it spat it up.
But what about a movie that's like a combination of March of the Penguins and that movie where
they go to...
The vampires are in the Arctic.
30 Days of Night.
30 Days a night. 30 days a night. What about a combination of those movies where people go up to a station to observe penguins,
and then it turns out they're murderous.
The penguins have gone crazy because of global warming.
What about it?
Sounds great, right?
And then, take home shot, Walrus teams up with the penguins, gouges out one of the guy's eyes.
Alright, so for the sequel, there's all Walrus. Walrus redemption.
Do we see the Walrus later on with the eyeballs on his tux?
Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely.
Does he look at the guy whose eyes he just took out, wander off of the ice and fall into the water?
Because he has no eyes anymore.
I'd like to see a shot of him in a dark
closet with just the eyes coming out.
So you just see the eyes at first, and
then the rest of him comes out.
You see some cartoon eyes at
first, and then the lights go on, and it's the
eyes on the walrus. And then the guy
with no eyes puts his glasses
on, and then
the walrus guy is like,
he mumbles something, and you get subtitles that
call the guy hey two eyes oh i think he's wearing like the guy puts on his glasses and then the
walrus puts on glasses on the eye like he's pretending he's the mirror of the guy but the
guy doesn't have any eyes so it's like a real inside like who's looking at who oh yeah the guy remember
the guy's eye his glasses fell off like like velma so he can't see anything yeah then he loses his
eyes yeah but he doesn't know it until he puts his glasses on because the walrus is a surgeon
when it comes to picking people's eyes out with his stuff because the guy's guy he's has snow
craziness because he's been up in the snow so long
He just thinks he thought
He imagined a walrus poking at his eyes
Well he didn't see it happen
Because his goggles were off
Their goggles now
Their prescription goggles
They have them
But like swimmers goggles
With the little reptile eyes
Holograms movie greatest
film used to be about penguins now just about eyes this guy losing his eyes to a
bunch of funny gags and then it's like a buddy movie like the walrus needs to go
somewhere and they but he's got the guy's eyes,
so the guy has to go with him.
But the guy can still see out of the eyes?
The guy's like, I see me
when he's standing at the walrus.
So now it's like a buddy role.
And a romantic comedy.
But he can't take the eyes off the tusk,
or else he won't be able to see anymore.
That's right.
How do we write Sandra Bullock into this movie?
To make it fun for the ladies to watch.
Yeah, sure.
He sends her
letters, but it's through a time
machine post office box.
So when she gets the letters,
he still has the eyes in his head.
And she's working at SeaWorld
with some penguins.
She's undercover. She's undercover.
She's undercover, an FBI agent.
Miss Congeniality, Walrus Congeniality.
She only has one picture of him,
and it's one of those cartoon pictures of just his eyes in the dark.
So that's all she knows of him.
Much is his eyes.
she knows of him.
His eyes.
So she ends up falling in love with the walrus because he has the eyes on his tusks.
How long does the walrus keep the eyes on the tusks?
Oh, the whole movie.
It's the heart of the film.
They don't go bad because they're refrigerated.
Yeah, they're on his tusks.
Yeah.
They could rot on his tusks at SeaWorld.
But in the arc... Okay, so we should do some overheard but i just want to let you know that in the break we're gonna find out who
performed nightmare on my street overheard and we're back okay so before we get to the overheards
yes there there's a certain matter of a certain $10 bet.
Yes.
Now, this $10, I should say, payable in installments.
I don't have it on me either.
Day laborings.
$1 a month over the period of a year.
Two months on the other side.
I think it's good news for both of you.
Neither of you may have to pay.
It depends how...
We may have to go back and check the tape.
Okay. Because there were
many Nightmare on Elm Street
movies. Okay.
Now,
the song, Nightmare on My
Street, is from the
original Nightmare on Elm Street movie,
and it is by
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the
Fresh Brothers. Ah, nuts!
But, the Fat Boys
It gets thicker.
They sure do.
They composed
they scored
they wrote
a song for Nightmare on Elm Street
4 called Are You Ready for Freddy?
Oh, therein lies my confusion.
So you were actually correct.
With the title, because I called the title.
But you were also right with the fact that the Fat Boys did a Nightmare on Elm Street song.
Yeah, but you technically, I would say, if we went back to the tape, I would say Cam won the bet.
Expect the first dollar of your ten at the end of next month.
2012.
Yeah.
In pennies.
I'm taking September as one of my months off paying you.
I'm going to start paying you in October.
Yeah, you have to...
Everyone abstained from paying anything on this anniversary of 9-11.
Yeah, that's true.
I think there is a national amnesty on bills.
All debts are off.
But then they're back on in October.
All debts are off would be a really good tagline for a movie about a debt collector.
Or a walrus with eyeballs on his tusk.
Who's also a repo man.
Yeah.
Now, before we get to these overheards.
Yes.
Second bit of business.
Somebody, a lady named Carolyn.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
A lady named Carolyn started a Facebook group in the vein of the Tompkins 300 type thing to see if there was enough interest amongst people, spy listeners in Toronto or the surrounding area.
You're Ottawa's.
Yeah.
You're Vaughn's.
You're Mississauga's.
Exactly.
Mississauga.
You're Ajax's.
Exactly. You're Ajaxes.
If there was enough interest to get enough people, basically so that it would cover our flight,
so that we wouldn't lose money on going and doing a show in Toronto, which we would gladly do,
we just need, like, we don't know the exact number, but we need, like, you know, probably 200 people to come out.
It's a big nominal fee for us to be able to cover airplane and travel and such.
And pillows and blankets.
Yeah, yeah.
Fine silks.
Yeah. Yeah, silks.
The finest spices.
There is a Facebook group called...
A Facebook croup?
Croupier.
Yeah.
Starring Clive Owen.
There's a Facebook group called
Stop Podcasting Yourself to Toronto
and join that group
but by joining it
only join it
if you want to go.
If you actually want to go.
Don't be like, oh, I want to support this cause
but I live in Alabama.
Yeah, no, if you're in the
Greater Ontario area.
Yeah, you're Manitobans. Yeah, exactly. if you're in the greater Ontario area. Yeah, you're Manitoba.
Yeah, exactly.
You're Northwest Territories.
You're berries? Yeah, absolutely
you're berries. I don't know.
You know I've never been to Toronto?
Really? Yeah.
Now this is like a make-a-wish thing.
Let's get Dave to Toronto.
I've traveled, I've been through
Toronto many times.
But wouldn't it be fun?
I'm traveling to many exotic destinations.
Wouldn't it be fun to get a photo of myself and Dave in front of the CN Tower?
Yeah, sure.
The former Sky Dome.
Yeah, the Al Waxman statue.
Yes.
The Chum City Building.
Oh, yeah. Speaker's Corner.
Speaker's Corner, yeah.
So many great sites and memories in the future.
Yeah.
The Kelly Gruber Memorial.
I just want to tell you that I think I came up with a name for our Walrus movie, and it's
Eyeballrus.
Thank you.
Cam likes it.
Now, what's up now?
Oh, Overheard.
Hey, that's our most popular segment. Do people
really call, like, we get a lot of letters from people saying, I love your show, especially
Overheards. Is it agony for people, the first hour of the show, before we get to Overheards?
Yeah, exactly. That's so good that everyone hangs on until then. Oh, we know. We know how to dangle a carrot.
We're not a bunch of new school fat boys.
Now, Overheards, if you are new to the podcast, is a segment in which if you're spending your time out in public,
you're sure to hear somebody say something hilarious or see somebody do something very stupid.
And you can send us an email detailing that to stoppodcastyourself at gmail.com.
And we have our own.
We always like to start with the guest.
And Cam, you're a man about town.
I know that you must have something in the box.
You parked your car today.
You drove a train?
I've got two, if that's okay.
So why don't you go? We'll come
round the horn, bookend it with...
Yeah, hey? Alright, well let me
start with the first one that happened today
at Shabu-san.
We were sitting
there. Now, if anyone skipped the first hour
of the show, Shabu-in is an all you can eat Asian restaurant
It's a Korean barbecue
All you can eat Korean barbecue
Mostly sushi
With sushi like things you order
I don't want to hear this discussion
But you barbecue your own meat
So we're sitting there
And from behind us
We just hear
What do you mean you don't have a salad bar? This is a Korean you mean you don't have a salad bar?
This is a Korean barbecue and you don't have a salad bar?
And I turn around and look
And it's literally like this 350 pound man in a purple shirt
Who has his head shaved and he's just furious
That he's at a Korean barbecue place with no salad bar
It's because his diet starts today.
Purple shirt.
Grimace.
Yeah.
That's pretty.
Exactly.
If a fat guy with a shaved head wears a purple shirt, he's really inviting the grimace.
The other shabu-san, they closed.
The other Shabu-San, they closed.
There used to be two Shabu-Sans, which is an all-you-can-eat restaurant that has a Korean barbecue in it.
Yeah, some sushi, some not.
No salad bar.
The other one got closed, but it did have a salad bar there. It did, and I think maybe that was the last one he went to.
Oh, right.
He was furious. Did you guys ever go to a Pizza Hut that had an all-you-can-eat salad bar it did and i think maybe that was the last one he went to oh right he was furious did
you guys ever go to a pizza hut that had an all-you-can-eat salad bar i've only been to like
two pizza huts yeah like me too i think i've only been to one but it definitely had a salad bar and
a dessert bar right next to each other the salad bar was just like lettuce radishes carrots uh like
some bacon bits gigantic thing of bacon bits.
Like a huge tub of Thousand Island dressing
and then like a macaroni salad.
Yeah, and cheese.
Cheese macaroni salad.
But it was right next to the dessert bar,
so like you could get a spoonful of,
yeah, it looked like a dark dressing,
like a, I don't know,
what's a dark salad dressing?
Like a balsamic.
Yeah, balsamic's right next to the chocolate sauce and i really i really love no matter what those like gummy bears
crumbles up cookies those ice cream those ice cream stations always were just a mess oh yeah
so much ice cream like just coiled up everywhere. So great, though.
Yeah. This summer,
I've been...
Have I talked about this on the show? You've been hitting the ice cream
bar pretty heavy? No, I've been
going to Dairy Queen quite a bit
and getting the dipped cones.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe when I was a kid, I had dipped cones.
Ever since, I've been
a Blizzard man, like the popular Andy Samberg character.
But now, I'm a dip cone guy.
And Dairy Queen closes at 10.
It's the only fast food place that closes that early.
And so you've got to get there pretty early.
You can't go right at 9.50 because they're almost at the dip.
And also the worst people on the planet
are in there. But it's not so late
that it's like degenerates are going
there. It's not like
the 2 o'clock in the morning
Wendy's crowd. But it feels like every time
I go to Dairy Queen it feels like it's
Degenerate Central. It feels like that's
I don't know if it's the locations
of all the Dairy Queens.
What does degenerate even mean?
Oh, two.
The opposite of generate.
So they don't generate.
They degenerate.
But if you cut off a part of them, they don't regenerate.
You don't see many starfish there.
So yeah, that's great.
Your dip cones, how do they compare to a Dilly Bar?
They're exactly the same, aren't they?
Except that they're fresh.
Like, a Dilly Bar is the same thing, and then they put it in the freezer.
Ah, yeah.
So, maybe the Dilly Bar has a crisper crunch.
Yes.
But the dip cone... Ooh, Dilly C has a crisper crunch. But the Dip Cone...
Ooh, Dilly Cone!
Stop the presses!
Stop the DQ press!
The Daily Queen!
That's an Asianian uh dairy queen restaurant uh
they uh yeah you have to wait a little bit for the the crust to harden uh around the frozen
innards yeah and if you get there too late there's not enough dip to cover the entire
cone like because they they don't uh they out. They only have a daily portion.
So you get a little dip cone that has a muffin top.
It doesn't get covered.
You've got a bare midriff on your dip cone.
So then they just dip it in balsamic dressing.
This is all we had left
at our incredibly unpopular Dairy Queen salad bar.
We're not the newspaper.
Dave, do you have an overheard?
Let's say sort of.
Okay.
I don't remember any specific wordings.
Okay.
But I saw an argument on the SkyTrain the other day.
As I was waiting for the SkyTrain, there was a SkyTrain security guard there waiting with me.
And as I got on, the SkyTrain security guard got on
and was looking for someone.
And it was clear who he was looking for.
There was a man there smiling.
Big, innocent smile.
And holding a dog.
And so the SkyTrain security guard is like,
please get off the train.
You can get the next train.
There's just been a complaint on this train.
And the guy's like, why?
I do this all the time.
And he had this insane person with big eyes.
Why? What's the big deal?
And the SkyTrain officer's like,
just get off or I have to call the cops and
this guy's like okay i'll do what you tell me uh and then uh so the guy gets off and the sky train
takes off and uh two people who uh i guess didn't even know the person got in a fight about it. After he left?
Yeah.
I like it.
There were two guys in their 40s, white guys,
and one guy worked at an insurance company, you could tell,
because it was an insurance company that makes you wear a polo shirt
with the name of the insurance company on it.
Yeah.
Oh, that really gets you.
It can, like, on a hot day, rub your nipple right off.
Cape City.
You kidding me? gets it can like on a hot day i rub your nipple right off cape city you get me uh and uh the
insurance worker uh went up to i guess the guy who had complained about the dog uh they had a
history i i don't know i had just gotten on and he was like why do you have to why do you have to
be such a boy scout wow and the guy was like well uh you know it's i have a dog i never bring my dog on the train
there's rules uh i'd love to bring my dog on the train but i observe the rules and the guy's just
like you're such a loser man and it it so quickly degenerated into like just the most childish name call him. And the guy who had
every right to complain about the dog
was like,
listen,
you're such an ignorant retard.
Why?
Why do you? And then the other guy,
the insurance guy was like,
I bet you don't even have a girlfriend.
And the other guy showed his wedding ring to the guy,
and it turns out the first guy didn't have a girlfriend.
So he was just projecting.
So that's where he trumped him.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we still had like two minutes of the Skytrain ride
of them to argue back and forth and call each other names.
But it was just, Just don't talk.
Just shut up. Everyone shut up.
Everybody shut up.
Were they doing it across the train?
No, they got up in each other's grills.
But I've seen so many
of those arguments on
buses and Skytrains. Really?
So many? Yeah, I've seen a few
where...
I think you're riding the right trains.
My train rides are pretty boring.
Even if you're right, you're wrong.
Yeah, yeah.
Even if you're completely right, you just seem like a dumb idiot yelling on the bus.
So just shut...
Everyone shut up.
Everybody's got to shut up.
We all have iPhones.
Let's discover a new game
let's be alone together yeah uh wow yeah it's me sky train cops the other day when i was getting
off the train they you know they they in vancouver uh for people outside of vancouver we don't have
like turnstiles or anything.
The old train runs on this kind of pseudo-honor system
thing that's going out.
They're bringing in turnstiles.
They have spot checks.
There will just be a cop on the train
that will ask between stops
for people's tickets.
I got out at one train
and this cop made a
beeline for me. Went across people. I got out at one train and this cop made a beeline for me.
Like, went across people.
Like, I got a live one.
Like, this guy, there's no fucking way
this guy has a ticket.
When I pulled out my bus pass,
you could tell he was just like,
God damn it!
Like, that's like,
it was probably his fourth in a row
of picking the wrong person
and like, his buddy probably
was just nailing everybody.
And they also, like, on the actual buses, of picking the wrong person and his buddy probably was just nailing everybody. He just looked so dejected.
On the actual buses,
you do have to give a pass or show
or put in change or whatever.
Unless it's the long ones.
Yeah, if it's the long one,
you just get on the middle.
Nobody knows.
Yeah, but they occasionally have security guards
get on the bus.
The bus has to stop for five minutes.
And they examine every person. It's the most
dehumanizing activity.
Where are your papers?
It is! Where are your papers?
But it's
a weird thing because on the one hand it seems
like the honor system would be a nicer way
of doing things. But in reality
you have to have these guards
come on and interrogate people.
It's also kind of like a
underlying fear tactic.
It's like, oh, can I sneak on this?
Oh, no, there could be somebody on this train.
There could be a high school dropout who could come on
wearing a badge.
For the thirst for power.
Now, Graham. Overheard, go.
Mine's an overseen. What? Yeah, I know. Courtesy of the Sky Train. Now, Graham. Yes. Overheard, go. Mine's an overseen.
What?
Yeah, I know.
Courtesy of the Sky Train.
Oh, fun.
I was returning from...
I was doing a show at a casino
out in the suburbs.
It was a two-hour transit commute
to get to this casino.
Was it a money loser?
What?
Did I lose money at the casino no no no like the
oh it didn't cost you no no more money no no two hours of of your time though that's worth money
yeah it's true but even figuring that in it was still pretty good like it all worked out pretty
good but uh on the train on the way back there was a guy that it was very strange
because he was done up like uh like an early 80s punk guy so like the the full everything like the
the boots and the leather jacket with the pinned on you know band flags or whatever all over. And then full like Mohawk, huge up in points,
like a, you know, Stegosaurus.
They used, what was that?
The freeze, the antifreeze.
Didn't they used to use antifreeze to get Stegosaurus?
Oh yeah.
Like, I mean, there's good people use Elmer's glue
and all manner of like, what is it? Like flour and water they'll use, just like a paste.
I use this product.
It's Kevin Murphy's Gritty Business.
It's all right.
I used to use this stuff called XTAH was the brand name.
They had this stuff called crude clay, but they stopped making it.
And I've been trying to find a replacement.
There's like a Canadian writer, and he was like a punk guy, Chris Walter, I want to say his name is.
And he had a story about when he was a kid, getting his mohawk up using red spray paint,
and then falling asleep and his hair like
breaking like icicles um but anyway so this guy was like all done up in like punk gear
and then the whole train ride back he was doing this thing you've probably seen hippies do it
it's like a ball that they balance on the back of their hand and then it rolls over
on the front of their hand and then it rolls to their left hand and then on to their right hand
and he was doing the whole train ride i was like that seems very un punk punk yeah and there was a
guy sitting across the aisle from me staring at this guy like what a douchebag like the just the
the disdain on this guy's face because this guy
was like look at me everything I'm
doing look at me and then
at one point
this guy train kind of
hiccuped a bit and the ball flew
off this guy's hand and rolled
down the entire train
and the guy that was staring
at him was so pleased just
like this big grin like like, oh, boy.
This dumb punk's going to have to walk all the way down there and get a dumbbell.
I was listening to, there's an episode of Radiolab.
It's a radio show and podcast about kind of science, but it's like science storytelling.
about kind of science and it but it's like science storytelling and it was the episode was about games and there were there are these studies that people just
want to root for the underdog in every situation oh just you they would give
people like two options and then give them a bit of context about one person
being successful and one person being successful and
one person being unsuccessful and they would automatically prefer the thing that was done
by the unsuccessful person people just automatically oh that's really interesting
generally want to root for the underdog and then i was thinking about that i was listening to it
on the bus and i was thinking about how often i see someone running for the bus and i don't root for them you're
rooting you're actively rooting against them generally in sports and and like uh things that
matter i root for the underdog but i'm rooting against everyone on the bus and everyone on the
bus is an underdog yeah if you're the underdog of the bus, then you're like the ultimate of underdogs, right?
Like if everybody's like, I'm hoping that guy gets his shit together, then you're like, you're so far down the underdog list.
But I mean, if you're not rooting for that underdog, is he so down deep underneath the other underdogs that he's not even rootable?
Yeah, yeah.
He's in the root system.
Yeah, yeah. He's in the root system. Yeah.
Yeah.
He's under the underdogs.
I understand that our friend Cam has one more.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, this one happened last week.
We went up, me and Craig Anderson.
Yes.
Sunday Service.
Past guest. Past guest.
Wonderfully hilarious gentleman. We went up
to his cabin that he
has up on Shusho up like for his birthday
and there was a happy
birthday. He owns a cabin?
His family. Oh, okay.
Because I was about to throw up in my own face.
Like, how does he
own a cabin? That Wildcats money?
Oh, I guess he was on Wildcats.
Yeah.
I could buy a cabin, right?
No.
I don't know.
How much does a cabin go for?
No, but we were up at his family's cabin for his birth, and there was like eight of us.
And things got pretty wild.
Sure.
Even number.
All sorts of things can happen.
I was going to say they wanted to keep it an even number. That's why they didn't invite me.
It was in the morning after a wild night, and I just heard one of the girls say,
Wait, who put their dick in the guacamole?
I ate all of that. In which I replied, oh, that was me.
And then Craig replied, that was me.
And then everybody was like, I also said my dick in the guacamole.
There's a lot of casual nudity on the track.
It was a real I am Spartacus moment.
It was my dick in the guac yeah i would have waited like i wouldn't have said anything i would have done like let's have a mystery let's let's solve
this well a lot of people do anyways and i think there were more than one penis going into that
guac so that it's a fun party yeah that sounds like a really fun party
oh man the party of the year where were we dave i would have gone home so i would have gone home
so early oh we're doing that okay bye so i'm not gonna eat these chips great forget you
uh we also have overheards that have been sent in by listeners to Stop Podcasting Yourself.
They're sentient, and they're taking over.
They were sent to StopPodcastingYourself at gmail.com,
our first of which is from Brandon P.
At a get-together with some friends at somebody's apartment complex pool.
Those are the greatest apartments.
The ones with the pool?
Yeah, their complex.
God damn it.
I overheard a female friend talking to her sister-in-law, who's kind of an eccentric.
She's a whole foods complaint board type person.
Also, she's a heavy pot smoker.
She was talking to my friend about how she and her boyfriend recently quit smoking.
Friend, you quit?
That's great.
What about your boyfriend?
Sister-in-law, yeah, he actually quit just a couple days ago.
Friend, right on.
Is it because you quit?
Sister, oh no.
He's not quitting for good.
He's cleansing for a peyote ritual.
That's from Reno, Nevada
That's Brandon P. in Reno, Nevada
He quit a couple days
You can't
Like if someone quits for two days
They haven't really quit
Just means I ran out of pot
Am I right guys?
And I like that it's a peyote ritual
Not a crazy drug bender
It's a ritual
They live in Reno, Nevada
So it's probably some weird desert thing Where they go out It is probably It is a ritual. They live in Reno, Nevada. So it's probably some weird desert thing where they go out.
It is probably a ritual.
Isn't Burning Man, is that just happened or is going on right now?
It's always going on.
Yeah, if you keep it in your heart year round.
I do peyote every weekend.
The spirit of Burning Man.
If you do a peyote ritual
once a month,
Burning Man is always
I think it was recent.
I think there's a lot
of nudity at Burning Man.
There's probably dicks
going into all sorts of dips.
Your ranch.
Hummus.
Hummus, yeah.
A salsa.
I work with a guy
who has been a few times
and he told me the story
of one year they went and there was such a lineup to get away after it ended.
Oh, yeah.
Because it just ends, right?
I guess.
They burn the man, and then people go home.
Yeah.
People sober up and get in their art cars and go home.
Yeah.
And this guy, he was like, why is there such a traffic jam to get out of this place?
And there's just one road out of there.
And someone had moved a couch into the middle of the road.
And this couple was having sex on it.
So there were a lot of rubberneckers.
Rubberneckers.
Oh, man.
Good stuff.
This next one comes from...
Dave, you took French school.
I took French school.
If an A has an accent on it, how are you pronouncing it?
It doesn't really change the pronunciation.
So this would be Syrian?
Is that a...
Because it's got an accent over the second A.
C-I-A-R-A-N.
And what kind of accent?
Does it look like a chapeau chinois?
Aigu?
Aigu?
Aigu?
An A would have a grav.
I don't think A's have a goos.
Oh, okay.
So it's got an accent grav.
Yeah, sure.
So, uh, C...
C...
Cialis?
Yeah, generic Cialis.
So generic Cialis.
Wrote to us.
Still sent it.
Uh, Syrian...
Yeah.
Oh, no.
It's...
Sorry, it's pronounced down at the bottom here.
It's... K, it's pronounced down at the bottom here. It's Kiron.
I don't think they're French.
Nope.
It's from Dublin, Ireland, so I can cancel out that French part altogether.
It's pronounced Quinoa.
Quinoa. I was in a clothes shop and was walking behind a small girl of between five and six and her mother the girl
had a few of the small round stickers from the clothes that have the sizes on them spread across
the tips of her fingers she was staring intently at them wiggling them about she then looked up at
her mother and completely seriously said stickers are my life. I've been there.
Me too.
Yeah, at that age, stickers are your life.
Yeah.
What were your favorite stickers growing up?
Any sort of race car, rocket ship.
Did you ever have the fuzzy ones of the animals?
Oh, yeah.
Or scratch and sniff dills.
Dill?
Oh, yeah, I remember those, yeah.
Every scratch and sniff just smells like pickles.
Pretty close. It's true. I liked puffy stickers. Oh, yeah, I remember those, yeah. I mean, every scratch and sniff just smells like pickles. Pretty close.
It's true.
I liked puffy stickers.
Oh, puffy, yeah.
The, like, plastic ones?
Yeah, yeah.
That had, like, some sort of, I don't know what it was, just, like, some stuffing in it.
Yeah, like the Disney box covers, the Disney VHS covers were always puffy like that.
Oh, yeah.
I remember some sort of shortcake ones.
Sticker books, where you would get a card
and then it would be a sticker that you would put in the book like it would be a uh a a lion king
book yeah and there would be stickers from the movie exactly i've got a uh a friend of mine
worked for one internet got junk and he found a full collection of not the garbage pail kids but
no the other ones that were all all like
you know instead of like wacky wacky packages yeah wacky packs that were all like fake uh
products like fake products that all had a lot to do with boogers or oh i remember when my friend
he had like i think he had one that was you know the whatever it was it was pot tied in you know
it was like a pot one and uh man, we thought he was the greatest.
He put it on a skateboard and we were just like,
this guy's set for life.
Last I heard, he's a CEO of a very profitable company.
I saw a guy on the bus today with a longboard.
And the brand of longboard he had was,
the brand is Land Yachts.
Oh, yeah. And yachts is spelledelt with a zed oh of course of course
it is what was the brand of beer we're at the liquor store and there was a longboard but it

people doing and we saw this this this uh holding it on itself and we And we saw a brand of vodka that came in a puffy coat.
Yeah, a puffy coat with like a furry...
Furry hood.
A fur-lined hood.
And it's just a little bottle of vodka
with a long coat around it.
And Dave's joke was,
hmm, you can really taste the gimmick.
Pretty great.
This last one comes from Jacob H.
This is a waiter to some of his friends.
What do you do if you recognize someone you know in porn?
Female friend of his, interested.
I don't know.
It's never happened to me.
Was it awkward?
Waiter, slightly scornful.
No, they couldn't see me.
Right?
Wasn't a two-way.
Wasn't one of those 4D porns.
He wasn't also in the porn.
Yeah, like, well, yeah, what if you saw your friend?
You're doing porn too?
Oh, this is weird.
We got paired together.
Doctor, I can't have sex with this woman.
Because she's my friend.
But you're only friends
because you know each other from porn.
Yeah, we're more like co-workers.
We've had some sex outside of porn.
Friend sex, though.
I was once in a porno movie.
True story.
Yeah, it was Dave.
Dave was fucking a lady on a couch
burning men.
No, I was having sex with a bowl of guacamole.
Now, in addition to
overheards that have been written in,
we also get ones that are called in.
This show is a marathon.
Oh, man, is it ever.
If you want to call us, our phone number is
206-339-8328.
Like these people have.
What's up, guys?
It's Dylan from South Carolina.
My final overheard.
This one's got to be my favorite.
He called in like four or five minutes.
So I was sitting in class in social studies,
and the teacher was doing a game where she would show pictures of a historical figure.
And she showed one of this really creepy looking dude that had like a beard and he had his hand up.
Like he was about to be like doing some magic or something.
And so nobody really knew who it was.
So when we went back through and she told us who it was, I'm sorry, I can't remember the dude's name.
But it was, I think i can't remember the dude's name but it was it's
i think it started with a b and she was talking about how he had an affair with the queen and
had influenced the government uh in that area by having the affair with the queen more so than the
king did and so she was like and when they went went to execute him, they shot him and he didn't die.
And so they poisoned him and he didn't die.
And so they stomped on him and he didn't die.
And then so they finally drowned him to kill him.
And then so this kid in my class yelled out,
Well, that dude's tougher than 50 Cent.
Fact.
I didn't catch what the third execution attempt was.
Stomped on him?
Yeah, pounced. I thought it was pounced on him.
Oh, I thought it was stomped on him.
The Lion King pounced on him.
The Tiger King. The Tiger was pounced. I think at thought it was stomped on the lion king pounced the tiger king
i think at that point he was a lion by then um i think that was rasputin that he was describing
yeah i thought yeah absolutely and uh speaking of sexy russian teens right yeah lover of the
russian queen um he was yeah he was 17 when he seduced the queen Famous
Didn't he have a huge penis?
Never mind
Is that a limerick or something?
He was a lover, wasn't he?
He loved very
I don't know, a lot of people
He was super gross looking up very, I don't know, a lot of people. But he... But like, he was super
gross looking up top, but down low
he was like, majestic.
South of the border.
Yeah, because if you've
ever seen pictures of Rasputin,
he looks like a terribly scary
derelict,
right? Like, it's not somebody that you'd
think we'd be able to seduce.
Although, seduce
back in those days had a different connotation
perhaps than now.
Now it would involve
a lot of whining,
dining, talking, interest.
Why did I set that up?
Because it's great.
That's why.
This call was called in a couple weeks ago, and he's calling from his social studies class.
I think Americans in some regions, they go to school like in August.
There's a lot of, you know what?
There's a lot of school systems, and I learned this, I think, the last year of high school, that they're year-round.
Like, they're semestered, but they're year-round.
They don't have, like, a two-month summer.
Yeah, they have, like, a couple weeks off here, a couple weeks off there.
Yeah, yeah.
Alberta was going to adopt that system, like, province-wide, and then they didn't because they're all tough. With the actual
quote of
that guy's tough
for the 50 cent
it might be
summer school.
Yeah, that's true.
And the fact that
no one could
identify the guy
and our caller
couldn't remember
who it was.
The end thing
starts with a B.
Brasputin.
I think it was
Brasputin or something.
I think it was
Donatello.
Next call.
Hi, Dave and Graham.
Just walking home on a Friday night through the gauntlet that is last call.
Lots of people stumbling.
A couple, very finely dressed.
Lady in a lace dress.
Dude in nice preppy wear. arm around his lady's shoulder.
He leans in as they stumble down the street.
Ghost ride that whip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, what's the...
What is...
Is ghost ride and the whip are two different things, right?
No, ghost riding a whip is when you're driving a car,
and then you get out of the car,
and it sort of drives itself for a while,
and you do a little dance.
You dance beside it or on top of it?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, you'll have a group of people.
It's like a Chinese fire drill, but with a moving car.
Yeah, the car stays in motion.
It's generally done in a low-traffic area.
That's funny.
I don't think that that was ever a thing.
No, it's not a thing.
It's not a thing except on YouTube.
Oh, is it?
Okay.
I've heard of...
Because I think ghostwriting I always thought of with a bicycle.
Oh, yeah.
That's how it started.
That's how it started.
Okay.
The origins of ghostwriting.
So you get off a bicycle? Yeah, and you just let it go. You just let it go. Oh, but you don't get back on it? No. Oh, that's how it started. That's how it started. Okay. The origins of Ghost Riders. So you get off a bicycle?
Yeah, and you just let it go.
You just let it go.
Oh, but you don't get back on it?
No.
Oh, okay.
There's no dancing involved.
Yeah, so yeah, that was the only part that confused me.
And then what is it?
What's the...
And shoes are called kicks.
And then urban...
What's it?
Hood rats are women that dance on cars?
No, no, no.
Hood rats are rats that wear hoodies
well it's adorable i mean like it's it's second only to a vodka wearing a hoodie
two six wearing clothes yeah now what is the whip that he's talking about a whip is a car
no but what he's saying like ghost ride this whip i think he's probably talking about his dick
but then doesn't that mean that she's just like gets it hard and then dances beside him
without touching it so that's good to me i don't know about you guys that that sounds all right
it sounds like a good friday late friday early saturday not a sunday though yeah no that's the
lord's day yeah exactly you know that except on a long weekend. Yeah, then it's just guac.
Guac.
Yeah, that's what you call it when you're having relations.
Now, let's say a quick prayer.
No, I think the guy saw a car and he probably said,
go ride that web.
I mean, I can't.
I don't want to speculate. And then if you get out of your car and he probably said, ghost ride that way. I mean, I can't, I don't want to speculate.
And then if you get out of your car and you walk next to it,
and then at the end you stick your dick in a guacamole,
that's called walking the guac.
Ghost ride the guac.
Oh guys,
we're having a lot of fun.
Finally.

And a young clerk
Having a conversation
And the old man starts to walk away
And the young clerk says to him
Well old man, I hope you have a bad day
And the old man turns around and says Well I hope you fall in a pile of shit.
Yep.

I knew it was coming.
That is a good burn.
There's no coming back.
You got me.
