Episode Date: April 3, 2012

Comedian and writer Charlie Demers returns to talk about book clubs, Adele, moving, and Bob Balaban.

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 211, lest we forget, of Stop Podcasting Yourself. That's not the phrase that you use for 9-11. Yeah, never forget. Never forget.

That's November 11th. Yeah. I'll get back to it. But this is episode 211 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark. And with me, as always, is a man who was born just very, very close, suspiciously close to John Lennon's death day, Mr. Dave Shumka. That's true. We were talking about that pre-show.

I think we got all the funny out of it. Oh, no, we never made fun of his rotten glasses yet. Oh, yeah, what a dorkus. I also would like to point out this is the second of our Max Fun Drive episodes and our listeners are doing great they're donating to the Max Fun Drive at MaximumFun.org slash donate but we're still trying to

get to that what is it a landmark it's like George Clooney and up in the air I've got a number in my head I'm not going to tell you what it is, but I'll get my name on the side of a plane if we get there. Okay. Do you ever meet someone who totally knows a movie way more than anyone else does?

Are you saying that you just met me, and I know more about Up in the Air than most people? Yeah, you know that scene in Up in the Air, and they can quote the whole movie, and you're like, really? Up in the Air is the movie you chose to watch a thousand times? There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, for some people it might be Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.

For other people it might be Nick Nolte, Prince of Tides. Did God pint you? And that gentleman piping up, and he was dying to pipe up earlier. I was going to do a John London impression. You showed remarkable constraint. And restraint. One of our all-time favorite guests and a gentleman who, in the next couple of weeks, in April, you will be in the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, both uh doing shows and uh participating in the debaters taping there mr charlie demands it's randy bachman yeah exactly it's what everybody requested

they said if we could have one guest on in 2012 and i'm like now i'm grasping in my head for a randy bachman song taking care of business I was like, it's either Taking Care of Business or These Eyes, but I couldn't decide fast enough. No, it's Fast Car. Mr. Charlie Demers is our guest. Thanks for having me. Thank you for being on.

Well, we'll see if you still feel that way at the end of the whatever. Yeah, you're very, you're beloved. What? You're immortal and beloved. Is that the Beethoven movie? Yeah.

With Gary Oldman? No, it's the one about the dog. Charles Grodin is here. Yeah, Beethoven's fifth. How many of those were there? Eh, whatever. Let's get to know us. Get to Noah.

It's like when they say there are more grains of sand on Earth than there are stars in the sky. There are more American Pie movies than there are Beethoven films in your brain. In the sky. Because there's only, like, what could you do with a Beethoven movie? You could just have Beethoven and then he has puppies. He has puppies. Junior style. Oh, man.

See? I added nothing there. No. We're off to some kind of a start. Well, you know what? That got into a real runaway references, kind of. It's like an up in the air. Yeah.

So, Mr. Demers, you're a writer. You're a teacher. I'm teaching this semester, yeah. Well, it finishes by the time this probably comes out. Now you're teaching, like, elementary school? No, I am teaching at the University of British Columbia. I hope to one day work up to the real Columbia. We are teaching at the University of British Columbia in their intro to, in the creative writing department, the introduction to writing for new media.

So what are we talking about? We're talking abouts for one. Podcasts. Blogs. Blogisodes. Webisodes. There's a whole thing about blogisodes. Comment trolling.

We do three weeks on trolling. How to write first. What if someone gets to first first? Lolcats. How to write first. What if someone gets to first first? Lol cats. Existential themes in lol cats. Yeah, sure. I can has more talent. Mr. Demers is the cat, the one who's laughing.

These are young kids you're teaching, right? Yeah, that's the one catch. It's all like Doogie Howser style child geniuses who are so... It's kind of reverse Mr. Young. Yes. Now, is... I can only think... Has cheeseburger.

Yeah, I can has cheeseburger. Yeah. I really think the idea of being a teacher is probably like uh one of the more terrifying things i don't know like dave terrifying okay teaching teaching a room full of people terrifying jobs uh let's see uh sniper yeah uh any any warm war stuff or snake stuff. Any animal touching or caressing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Lolcat euthanist.

Euthanist is not a... You perform a euthanization. A euthanism. You're a euthanist. Is it terrifying? Did you say euthanist? We'll see how desperate is that say eutonist? it's uh we'll see how desperate is that

eutonist? I well you gotta think about it if you think about it in comedy terms if you which I'm sure the university I'm like gearing up to make

what I think is a totally reasonable sounding comment and then you know when you hear something just one second before you say it what are you picturing in that one second what i was gonna say was like uh um you know if you're on stage for an hour yeah you want to get like you know probably 40 laughs 40 or 50 big laughs sure and i was gonna say you know uh if you just get like five laughs in a three-hour lecture that's huge right but then why would number of laughs be the effective

metric for gauging the success of an academic endeavor is that yeah your, when you got the job, did they say, what's your laugh per minute? Yeah. With your LPMs. How's your crowd work? Are you okay with spritzing? There's going to be a lot of staggets taking this course. There's no MC. You're going to have to bring yourself up.

So it's, do I sound echoey at all? No. Oh, no, it's those headphones. Oh, okay, it's those headphones. Oh, okay. It's these headphones. Um, but is it so like, you're fine with it? It's not terrifying at all? Uh, you know, like at the beginning it was a little scary.

Uh, and then like, I've got like 95 students. Holy shit. Um, but I had like, uh, I had two. Most of them dropped out of me. Yeah. When I was like, you know what? This class is going to scare you. And that's good. And they were like, so long.

I'm going to a Thunderbirds game. The Thunderbird is the mascot of UBC. It's a puppet. Right? Is that the Thunderbirds? We're go? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah.

That was. It's a marionette. No, there was a name for it. Is that the Thunderbirds? Yeah, that's right. It's a marionette. No, there was a name for it. Mario Nation or Ani-Marionette. I think it's Utenisms. No, it was Ani-Marionati. Ani-Marionati-isms. That's what it was.

No, but it was a thing. Thunderbirds presented in Mario Vision. It was something crazy it was italian yeah and then the proper response if you enjoy an episode was to say marionissima uh we um i'm gonna win video games we're a go thunderbirds we're a go anyway it started off as scary because it's like a three hour lecture

it's a long time but it was fun has anyone fallen asleep in class? probably okay you asked them not to light the audience can we bring the house lights down a little i just want to see the first row for a bullerdesk thrusting and parrying uh now is there anybody like in the class where you say kind of uh does

anybody know why this that that, or the other? And the person that's always got their hand up? Is there that person? He was bemused, but that wasn't the word I wanted at all. Go on. By the recent death of Juan Epstein was going to be what happened. He was bereaving him? Two of the greats.

John Lennon, Juan Epstein, we just rub in the listeners' noses in it. In Celebrity Deaths. Remember when there was a Celebrity Death pool? Early in the show. Celebrity Death Odds? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was very, yeah.

Oh, and I made a Viper Room joke about them getting a jacuzzi in the Celebrity Death pool. Remember that? Happier times. Check back, if you want to hear that, go to episode three of this show.

Way back when. Do you wear a jacket with patches on the elbows when you teach? I wear a jacket with patches, but not on the elbows. Just because I want everyone to know I'm accessible and kind of funky. So it's like a hobo jacket?

Yeah. And I bring my dog, Patches. You made your jacket out of your dead dog, Patches? Patches on my elbow. His face and you make him talk. I died in vain.

Sarait! Sarait! That's one of the new media we talk about writing for. And for a dog you're witsless. Sartorial dog corpses. Oh yeah. No, it's good.

I mean, I was about to make a point about it, but this is not funny or conversation. We're having a conversation. The thing is, we're a bunch of lads hanging out. It's like you're teaching them new media, and this is one of these, like I'm like 10 years older than the students. But this is one of those.

They're like, he's so ancient. Yeah, well, sometimes 10 years is like nothing you know what i mean yeah like what some on some subjects you talk to a 40 year old or a 20 year old it's like yeah we're all in this together yeah uh 80 year olds that's what i mean you can talk about uh how uncomfortable it is to visit an aged loved one yeah um but uh for anything like technology um you're like because you'll you'll be saying something like well you know people didn't used to take tv very seriously uh for you know high literary writing um as you remember but they don't remember that they were

like nine years old when the sopranos came out yeah that's wow no they were like seven years old when the soprano so it's like um so all of the technology that we're talking about in the class is like mother's milk to them. Yeah. Delicious. And it's just uncomfortable. And, but then, so they know more, like, about. Do you say that every class? Do you're like, you're teaching me.

What's the Wi-fi password in here yeah no but like one day i accidentally called a url and earl and i could see them all kind of old man to bears uh but then they don't know anything about like three-act structure right or spelling that's true they. They spell like prints. With a lot of u's and twos. Yeah. Because they text me all their assignments. Did I mention that?

Yeah. You just get them on the bus on the way home? Yeah. I'm like, well, I give this an LOL minus. Mr. DeMers, can I get an extension? Can I has extension? Yeah. As you can see, my wiener's all inflated. Oh, don't.

Come on. They're sexting you. This is what kids do. I know, but I'm a professor. Oh, right. You're a tenor. Yeah. Yeah, right.

Yeah, I have a tenor. But no, it has been fun. But then, you know, that's like a once a week thing. It's like just a contract. Just a contract. Those kids mean nothing to me. Yeah. A contract killer.

I'm going to work to rule. Yeah. I'm mostly, I'm still working on that web series. I think I might have mentioned that last time I was here. I think so, yeah. But anyway, so we're writing this. Mention it again. Yeah.

I can has repeat. I'm working on this web series, and so I've been doing that, and then the teaching, and then just the various sundry stand-up. I heard one of your various sundry things was you've written two books, and that you were like a middle-aged women's book club. Oh, yes. Invited you to come and speak to them? Yeah. Which of your books was it? It was Vancouver Special.

All right. And so, which for people who have never heard the podcast before, this is their first time listening, that book is like a big hit. Yeah, it's a nonfiction book about the personality of our city. Yeah, and it's great. Oh, thank you. And if anybody who listens to the podcast and likes, you know, is intrigued by things Vancouver,

that's a great book, a great accessory to your knowledge of Vancouver. Well, and these older ladies certainly seem to think so as well. So what it was, have you guys ever had Todd Allen on the show? No. Comedian Todd Allen. Comedian slash

game show developer. I guess it's his sort of... He's Canada's Merv Griffin. Yeah, but also there's something else funny. I was trying to think of does anyone have Merv or Griffin in the... He's Merv Griffin and they're Andy Griffin. Oh, like a Gryffindor.

Yeah. He's there. Merv Griffin and Snuffleupagus. He's a very funny stand-up comic, but he was also a big fan of the book and was recommending it to people in his life and giving it as a gift. Oh, that's awesome. Which I highly recommend for any of you. But so Todd gave it to his aunt, and she really liked it.

And so her book club read it. And then Todd wrote me, and he was like, listen, the book club is meeting. They want to take you out for lunch. And then... Describe these women. Well, I mean, okay, go ahead. Tell it your way. So, I take you out for lunch, and they'll pay you.

And then I said to Todd, I was like, well, I'm not going to take money from a bunch of older ladies who've read my book and want to talk to me about it. So I'll just do it because you're my friend. It's like it's $1,000. So, although in the end they did pay me, and they gave me the money in a card, which that's the strategy. Because I couldn't just, like, if it were a bill, I just would have crumpled it up and thrown it back. Right, yeah, yeah. But it was in a card. You can't be like, forget this.

Tear it up. I'm not even going to open the card. Pretty good strategy. Yeah. If you want to give someone money that they can't give back. But so it was one of those situations where you just wake up in the morning and you're like, this is going to be the worst. Can they take me over breakfast so i don't have to worry about it all day long it just sounds like it's gonna be the most awful experience

and then it's just precisely the opposite it's just like seven of the sweetest like 58 to 75 year old ladies of a certain age treat you like their son for an hour and a half, fill you with Indian food, and then give you $100. Oh, wow. It was awesome. So I highly recommend, if Dot Allen ever asked you

to do his aunt's book club, it's one of the better gigs out there. Yeah, past recipients. John Grisham. Yeah. Tom Clancy. Insisted they go out for sushi.

He gets gassy after eating. That's really, I mean, to me, I don't know why, for a second, I wouldn't be worried about that being awful for a second. I would just assume it would just be the greatest. Yeah, these women who read

your book and have already basically given you money because they all bought a copy of your book. Or did they not? Did they just use photocopies? Some of them had library copies and I do get some money from library things, but it's not as much. But it's not very much anyway. From a book

sale, you get like a buck or two. Yeah, but it's a... You should encourage book clubs to do it. Yeah, you should just go on a tour of book clubs. Why isn get like a buck or two. Yeah, but it's a... You should encourage book clubs to do it. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. You should just go on a tour of book clubs. Why isn't there a... Is there a Stop Podcasting Yourself book club? There is now. This month, we're reading Charlie Demers' Vancouver Special. That's right.

And we suggest a food pairing. Indian food. Yeah. Pakoras and P... Pasnoras. There's no such thing as a Pasnora There should be That's really I think that's a great gig

I really think that's a No it was good I could give up comedy to just do five of those in a weekend Oh man can you imagine Five lunches Five lunches in a weekend All with ladies No I can't imagine that It's too five lunches in a weekend, all with ladies? No, I can't imagine that.

It's too many lunches. Weekend is brunch time. You're right. But you know what? I figure if you're a highfalutin author, you could get a brunch. Or even a mid-level falutin. Yeah. Who are we talking when we're talking a mid-level falutin?

I'd like to sneak in there. You're in there? Yeah. Yeah are we talking when we're talking mid-levelfalutin? I'd like to sneak in there. You're in there? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Because I don't even... I only know the most high of falutin. The falutinist. And then what would be like... Falatilist. Like, would you have something like a David Sedaris

out for a brunch? He's a high. He's high. He's a high falutin. Yeah. High falutin. No, I mean... Maybe Amy Sedaris could mid-falutin. I think she's pretty highfalutin'. Except the laundry crystals falutes down. It falutes you down? No, I think it falutes you up, don't you think?

You think laundry crystals down a step. Yeah. Uh, but I don't know. Like, once you're in... Because she's being... She's promoting it as herself. Yeah, that's true. So it's not...

Well, she has my valutations. Valuations? As infalutin? As infalutin. Okay, pretty good. I feel like I'm like the NPR comic today. I feel like it's all... Book stuff?

Very dry and not super hilarious. You know what? Take your time. Don't criticize yourself. No, no, no. I'm sorry. I should say to the listeners very dry and not super hilarious. You know what? Take your time. Don't criticize yourself. No, no, no. I'm sorry. I should say to the listeners, because I am always worried that each visit to Stop Podcasting will be my last.

It will be the one where I run out of anything, any mojo. You got so much mojo. You needn't worry for a second. I live in the shadow of recessive genes. No, you don't. Because you came on the last time and you said, emotionally bereft now. I'm feeling emotionally berate.

And this time, you know, man, this guy's great. See, the Charlie you know. I want to sit down with him. No, you just told us you had dinner, lunch with a bunch of ladies, a red hat club, basically, right? You know what I'm talking about, right? No of ladies, a red hat club, basically, right? Do you know what I'm talking about, right? No, what's a red hat club? Like Cardinals?

Like the Catholic Church? St. Louis Cardinals. They wear red hats. I think I talked about it a couple weeks ago. I did a show, and there's this club for ladies of around that age. They get together. They all wear red hats. They go out on the town. They say randy things to each other. They get together. They all wear red hats. They go out on the town.

They say randy things to each other. They get drunk. Does it fight cancer? It sounds like a thing that would fight cancer. I think they would get involved with that, but that's not what it's about. It's about ladies getting together and having a good time.

Leaving the husbands at home, right? Poor guys. Yeah. Leaving those wet blankets at home. Let's go and paint the town cherry red. Oh, man. that was awesome. But I did a show in Squamish, and the whole front table was just that club. They were all there wearing their hilarious red hats.

What kind of hats? Fedore? All sorts. Fedore. Fascinators. Berets. Cowboy? No, no no cowboys no stetsons uh bowlers uh yeah i think one of them had a bowler baseball caps no baseball caps these are fancy ladies can you shawl it uh wear like a red web yeah um what do you mean like put a shawl on?

Yeah, like a red shawl. I think, you know, if you're going a bit ethnic with it, sure. Pashminas. But yeah, these are just... Pashmine. Pashmine. These are hats, you know? Fedora, I think, is the...

No, Fedora is... Fedore is maybe the plural. Like panini. Yeah finori um yeah anyways they play and they're just love they love uh they love say if they they're there to love but if you make a slightly off color joke oh they are just in heaven oh yeah but not full off no yeah if you went like if you were just you know if if you were crass, they wouldn't be interested, but if you have a thing that has one, you know

swear word in it, oh, they're just delighted. They're just like oh, I'm glad Ted isn't here. He wouldn't have liked that. I like those kind of jokes. Yeah, he rules this he rules my humor with an iron fist. Ever since he lost his original fist yeah the death stroke yeah that was commonplace when you were uh

alive in the 30s and 40s they would just replace whatever part fell off with an iron. This Christmas I'm going to have a... Oh, never mind. Sorry. Where was that going? I thought for a second, I thought they were called the Red Beret Clubs. So I was going to say, have a Red Beret, Green Beret party.

But it was Red Hat, and Red Hat, Green Beret is an even bigger leap than the original. Well, I would have allowed it. Oh, man, why didn't I just go for it? Yeah. Dave, what's going on with you? Well, not a heck of a lot, but I did see a funny sign.

Now, are you familiar with the lady named Adele, who is a singer? Mm-hmm. One time she was rolling in something. Yeah. Filth. She was rolling, yeah. She can't get up very easily So she rolls a lot She rolls her way up

I want to voice my Vote of non-confidence Can't get up easily joke We're just talking about rolling Yeah Her name's Adele She's a singer she's very uh what country is she from she's from england yeah she's she talks like a uh cockney uh chimney she talks like the artful dodger

she i believe she won a uh she won all those Grammys for Consider Yourself. No, well, this is all true. Anyway, there's something... I think people really root for her. She's still kind of an underdog, even though she's had all this success. She's clearly an overdog. Yeah, she won six Grammys this year. I think she had won some before. But I guess all of her albums are about breaking up with someone.

It's very Patsy Cline-ish. Yeah. In the sense of if you listen to three or four Patsy Cline songs, you're like, hey, wait a minute. You just wrote one thing and cut it up into six pieces, call it an album. Yeah. Every song's the same. Poor lady. It's true.

But you know what? She's, and I know it's downplay, but right now she's in a very successful relationship. Yeah. With some guy. And that was written about a relationship that she had. I heard she's married now.

Anyway, so, and I've like, in the back of my mind, I'm kind of like, I hope this girl makes it. And I think she is going to make it because I think she's crossed over into like a different status than most performers because i saw a sign that celebrities the uh local gay bar in vancouver is having an adele night oh that's pretty good wow like uh an adele um drag queen like oh that's you can get uh um older folks and the gays are generally the least fickle of musics. Like, you look at, like, Madonna or some shit, like... Madonna or some shit. Madonna. You look at the various Madonna. And, you know, like Lady Gaga, she'll...

It's Gaga. Why did I say Gaga? I don't know. Lady Gaga. Regional accent. If you're, like, from New England or something, does anyone call her Lady Gar-Gar? But, yo, Lady Gar-Gar. Like, Lady Gaga, she'll be fine forever.

Madonna, she'll be fine forever. But Adele, in addition to maybe if she's breaking through with the gays in a big way she's also once you hit like you get the attention of sort of slightly older folks they don't change their tastes over full whole cloth every six months like younger fans do or whatever like you so you look at something like nora j some shit She's still good I mean like financially She's still fine That's a good point 50 year olds will always be listening to it

And 50 year olds won't download a song No They're not going to steal it from the album They're smacking the sides of the computer But when you break through to being Impersonated by a drag queen That that's a very, you're in a small company. But I looked, I was curious about this drag queen because I'm like, is this this drag queen's first time doing it? Because Adele's a relatively new artist.

The drag queen is most well known for impersonating Winona Judd. That's a cynical move. Oh, like Judd's over? I'm making a move. I think she just looks for a similar physiological

incarnation every generation or so. We need big red hair. Yeah. We need an egg-shaped face. I remember getting zinged by a... Zung. Yeah, sorry, I got zung. I was zunging.

I got zung by... When we were, like, 17 or 18, like, went downtown on New Year's Eve or something like that. It was just one of those wandering around kind of drinking. Yeah, yeah. on New Year's Eve or something like that. It was just one of those wandering around kind of drinking. And we were walking down Davie at one point and sort of put our faces up. Davie for people who don't know. Oh yeah, sorry. Davie Street is the gay crevice of the city.

I don't think at any point in any bit of documentation has the word crevice been used. Have you read his book? Yeah. The gay crevice have you read his book read the chapter on crevice uh so it's uh baby is like the gay street and we were walking down it uh uh getting gayer and gayer as we went yeah and we went up to the window, and we were like 17, and, you know, just kind of, I guess, looked hosiery or whatever, and kind of went to the window and peeked in, and there was a drag queen doing a show. And she kind of looks back through the window, and then kind of looks to the audience and

is like, oh, the bus from Surrey just got here, and you guys! Yeah, that was us. And the audience goes nuts for it and then like so for years i thought like oh man that drag queen that drag queen zinged us but then it's like now having like done shows you're like oh that was like the stalkest of lines like she would have said that whomever had shown up at the window. Yeah. But we were heartbroken. That's how we started our year.

Yeah. And for people not from Vancouver. The year of the drag on. For people not from Vancouver, Surrey is the, the butt of the jokes. Surrey's like the Surrey of where you're from.

Yeah. Well, I mean, congratulations to Adele. Yeah, she's doing great. She wrote that album that a lot of women relate to. I heard she settled down. Stop it.

Stop trying to make that happen. Oh, man. But that is great. You were going gonna say something? well I was gonna say we were just talking about who had cracked that barrier of drag queens doing a show dedicated to them I was like was Amy Winehouse

did she cause she seems like somebody that would be it would have been fun to dress up as with the beehive yeah and she's a character yeah and there's tattoos

it seems like it would be very easy character to do but then again like so is Kes seems like it would be a very easy character to do. But then again, so is Kesha. Kesha would be great. You just put mud and glitter on your face. I don't know. But I don't think people are doing that.

No, I don't think. I don't think. Well, I mean, never say Kesha. There's probably a drag Kesha act out there. Yeah, one. Yeah. I mean, there's like everywhere you go, there's going to drag Ke$ha act yeah one I mean there's like everywhere you go there's gonna be like what what would be the prime

what's the number one the Madonnas the Marilyn Monroe Cher Cher's a huge one and then then it's all slight Cher is like that when they say a portrait should look more like the person

than the person itself or themselves yeah a drag queen share to me is like more share than share like yeah i agree shares distilled essence is drag queen do you think that a drag queen could just go on like because cher's planning like a big tour do you think it could be just a drag queen and nobody would notice and if they found out they wouldn't care probably would you be interested in seeing a drago queen uh somebody who does. Ivan Drago? So this is a guy. I will crush you. He comes out dressed like Ivan Drago. He does steroids on stage.

He does a workout sequence. And then he brings out a guy dressed... Meanwhile there's a tiny rocky blifting log pulling a sleigh. And then he comes out on stage and the Drago queen beats the shit out of him. And then loses at the last minute. Yeah.

That's fun. That's a cabaret. At the Pacific Coliseum. Yes. The Pacific Coliseum is like the small arena where you're from. Where they filmed Rocky IV. Yeah. Rocky IV was done as a touring show, right?

Yeah. Well, speaking of cabaret. Yeah. I... Life is... Oh, yay! I want to shake your hand. Thank you. Well, speaking of that sentence, I was in traffic the other day behind a BMW SUV, which is a lot of letters.

Yeah. It's a lot of acronyms. That's a vanity plate. That should be the vanity plate on it. It's the right number of. Oh, yeah. BMW SUV. Yeah. It was... The license plate holder

on this car said, Life is a Cabernet. Oh! Come on. What? That seems like something you would get on board for. What? Just because I watch Frasier. That's like... Remember in the late 80s Early 90s

In Whistler Village you could buy Sort of salmon pun T-shirts I would like to hear one It would be like Don't worry be humpy What does that mean? Like hump salmon

Salmon aren't some of them? Like, not humpback, for sure, but... Yeah, humpback. Nope, that's not a thing. No, it is. That was a thing. There would be, like, spawn till you die was one of them. Oh, that's a good one.

Don't worry, the humpy seems like a bit of a stretch, because you'd be like, humpback? Humpback whales? No, isn't there one salmon with hump in its name? No. But I was thinking, if you had the Cabernet license plate holder, life is a Cabernet, wouldn't you just get pulled over? Like, hey, are you drunk right now? Wouldn't you get pulled over every day?

I happened to spot that alcohol enthusiasm License plate holder But that's not I mean I think if you had just A license plate holder That just said coolers That you'd get pulled over But life as a cabernet seems like Dry wit

Depending on the cabernet Hey now Graham Hey there What's up with you? Well, nothing fun like going in a book club or seeing an Adele poster. I have been moving for the last couple days. Gotta keep moving. Yeah, you gotta keep moving.

Like a shark. couple days i keep moving yeah you gotta keep moving like a shock and it's it's i mean we all here have moved in the not super distant past so we know you helped me move the last time that's right and uh but spent most of the moving uh chore if i recall uh fixing the fence that i backed the you all into that was the that was the single greatest way that... Because you were moving this beautiful co-op. Yeah. And the first thing he did was destroy a fence. And a lady ran out the second that you did it.

Oh, man. And said, our new fence! That was just real. It was just kind of one of those, like, look at each other and be like, last chance, want to move someplace else? Yeah. So, it's moving. I was saying to Dave on the way over, like, something about moving that, like a lot of people say, it's super stressful, but it's more

I find it humiliating because it's like, you know, either you hire movers and then you have strangers handling all of your stuff. Stuff that's like you keep in your... And then they go home and they tell their wives about it. They probably

do. This guy had a lot of Ikea stuff. Yeah. Just another dumb Ikea move is what they say, rolling their eyes. We broke this guy's stuff so bad. Or you have your friend's help and that's kind of also like you're like, your house, you keep all this stuff. And you're also embarrassed by how much stuff you've amassed yeah like no matter how manageable or little it is you could have less

anything you're in a store re-buying all the shit yes yeah yeah and it's and it's like you keep kind of making excuses either to yourself or to the people around you like, oh, I can't get rid of this book, record, jacket, whatever. Because then I wouldn't be a hoarder. Yeah. But hoarding, this is I've realized in the last 24 hours is all a matter of scale. Because in my place that I moved out of, not a hoarder. because in my place that I moved out of, not a hoarder. Place that I have moved into, I look like a crazy person with how much stuff is stuffed in this smaller room.

Right. But it's a normal amount of stuff for a human, a human man in the first world to have. It's not like I've got, you know, like can you imagine, speaking of drag queens, what kind of crazy move would that be? Just dresses and wigs, like boxes and boxes of these things. The weirdest would be the heads for the wigs.

So many! You can't just keep them in a box. Wigwams, I think they're called. No, what are they called? It's like a head. It's like a bust. A styrofoam bust? Yeah. A wig, head, head, It's like a bust. A styrofoam bust. Yeah. A wig. Head. Headwig in the English.

But it is like, I don't, I think I forgot how humiliating a process it is. But that's the emotion I feel most of the time. I think that's you. That's just me? Yeah. I feel, I, when I moved, I remember we had this huge truck and it was like filled to capacity. And our neighbors, our new neighbors kind of gave us a look like, well, that's a lot of stuff. And I did feel a little embarrassed and also the fact that I knew we had had way too much stuff so i stored some other

stuff at my parents house for in between so i'm like later i would sneak in boxes so my neighbors didn't see me that's what i'm talking about even more but see like in here it doesn't seem like oh yeah we're not overstocked no we're not bursting at the seams. But it is like if you moved into a place with one less room, all of a sudden everything is around you all the time. And that's exactly it. I moved in, and one of the new roommate guys, the first thing he said was, Did you think this was going to be a bigger room? And I was like, No, this guy, he's saying the exact thing I was hoping nobody would say the whole day.

What kind of first impression is he off the bat? I don't know. What's he thinking? I hope he regrets having said that. I hope he said that and was like, what an asshole I sounded like. Tinkeroo greeting. Do you think this will be a bigger place?

Marking his territory. Yeah. All right, I will always have that over Graham. Yeah, and it'll be recurring. Like, do you think this was a bigger fridge? Remember that time you thought this was a bigger fridge? Remember that time you thought this place was bigger? Did I mention to you guys that he's

an old New York City Cathy? Good. Where to? The tiniest room in the world. My kids. I had to move out. You're not going to be playing a bunch of that loud

Lady Gaga lordy um well you're moving and it's the greatest yeah and it's

well you know it's like uh I was I uh brought this is

this is the worst and this has probably happened I don't know if this happens every time everybody moves, but you bring something, and it gets all the way to its destination, and then at the last second, you break it. And then you're like, now I just have carted garbage from all the way across the city to this new place. So I got a bed frame, and I dropped one of the beams of the bed frame and it snapped off like a welded part. And I was like, well, no, this is just, this is just scrap now.

Bed frame's not little cartage either. Yeah, right? But now I'm like, well, what? And how do you get rid of a bed frame? How do you advertise bed frame needs some light welding. Bed frame needs leg. Have you always wanted to melt down a bed frame but couldn't afford one?

Yeah. Are you building some kind of apocalypse car? Are you living with, do you know the people? I know two of them. And it's, you know what the thing is, it's very cheap. And that's the key in the whole procedure is that it's cheap. But I do. I look like, now when I look at hoarders, that's exactly what I look like I am.

I've got boxes and boxes of stuff. But I thought I got rid of all the stuff that was extraneous. So now where am I? Like, now what? Like, now I'm dipping into the stuff that I was like, I was kind of hoping to... Build shelves. Yeah, there's...

Do you think? Shells will save the day? Storage. You need storage. You need storage that doesn't make you look crazy. That's... I'm convinced the entire storage industry is that, right? People don't want to look nuts.

People don't want to look crazy. And people also don't want to throw out their skidoos. Yeah. Impulse bots. I don't know how you get a skidoo into... Some of those dudes live in those places, hey? Like the... What?

Skidoo dudes? On-site manager. I remember we were moving, I think it was Paul Anthony, we were moving his stuff into a storage thing. The guy lives in the storage unit? Yeah, so I said to the guy as a joke, I was like, I was thinking people living in the units. I was like, oh man, how many people do you think live in here?

He's like, oh, just me. And it's like, yeah. What? Yeah, no. Him and his family live there. Oh, his family, too. Not in a unit, though. No.

In five separate units. Son, I think you're big enough. You need your own unit. Meet me in the dinner unit. No one says meet me in the dining room, either. So where did that come from? Son, what are you you doing in there what are you doing in your unit i'm coming in in three seconds um roll um it's uh uh but no so i guess part of the selling feature with some of them is that a manager lives on site that's really sitcom it is very yeah it's like when i picture it it's like do they do they live a fantasy life

where they get to like have a very fancy dinner table and a chandelier and all these things and then it's just every day they check oh uh the petersons are coming in get the television back you know how when you go to your storage unit you call ahead this is a i'm assuming excuse me gapreet but i'll be coming by my footman to just see my chandelier. We could do that, couldn't we? Couldn't we pitch a storage sitcom? Yeah, sure we could.

Sit store. We're doing it right now. Store sit. If anybody, we've got a lot of studio heads that listen to this podcast. If anybody, we've got a lot of studio heads that listen to this podcast. We pitched and landed a lot of great lucrative development deals. Yeah, but that's what I feel like right now. And I feel like I could, I feel like, you know.

You should move into a storage. Yeah Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. If there was a toilet and somewhere to shower, even a sink, that I could do that. Have you considered a boxcar? You know what? They're not private enough. They move. They move. That's right. You go to sleep in one place, you wake up in another, you don't have any friends in Des Moines.

I feel like someone with your allergies Yeah, there'd probably be a lot of hay. They hook your car to a cat car or something. Take a bunch of cats across the country. Those cats out of town on a rail.

Yeah, so you know. I'm living in a storage unit it's fun it's i'm thinking sitcom um and so that's it and uh you know what we've got some business to take care of let's do it life can be fun don't get carried away you gotta do the things you don't want to do to get through the day. You gotta shine your shoes. You gotta sweep the floor. You gotta clean your house. You gotta do some more.

This is the greatest. This is the greatest. This is the greatest. Because this is, I feel like in Hollywood now, like a couple months ago, Vanity Fair came out with its Young Hollywood cover. Yeah, top 100 wrestlers. You're snakes.

You're undertakers. They were all there. Oh, I would love for Hulk Hogan to do do the prue questionnaire in the back of uh what should all kids say their prayers what should they take their where should they stay school um so when vanity fair came up with this cover, I didn't recognize any of the... It was all the ladies of Hollywood. It's all the new young actresses. Okay, so you're Hunger Games woman.

You're Slumdog Millionaire. Nope, that is time gone by. That's old Hollywood. We're talking girl with a dragon tattoo. Yeah. The help. Whoever's in that new Snow White movie. Right.

But now... Julia Roberts. The But now... The Whitening. The Whitening. Crest presents The Whitening. Now, you were saying The Hunger Games. It's Jennifer Lawrence. J-Law.

J-Law. Jennifer Love Lawrence. I actually did hear that on another podcast. Really? Someone said Jennifer Love Lawrence? Yes. Oh, man. My iPod doesn't work.

Yeah, that was fresh. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Just for the listener. I'm not accusing you, but I don't want to get a bunch of emails. Now, here's the thing. Ever. I have no connection to Jennifer Lawrence, but now I do.

Now I feel a very strong connection to her. What's she in, Jennifer Lawrence? She's the star of The Hunger Games. Oh, okay. And that's doing okay? Yeah, it's a musical starring Lenny Kravitz. They've got food, glorious food from all of it. Yeah.

I just thought that was so funny that Stanley Tucci was in The Hunger Games, and you could play it like it was a sequel to Big Night. Yeah. Once all the food's gone, now you're hungry. Hunger Games. Pretty great. What's Big Night? Big Night was Stanley Tucci's Italian family. That is Tucci-est.

Who was it? Stanley Tucci. Stanley Tucci. Italian family. That is Tucci-ist. The restaurant. It kind of, it was foodie before foodie. Oh, is Monk in it? Yeah.

Okay. Tony Shalhoub. Yeah, he solves a crime. Tony Shalhoub continuing the... Who ate the last cannoli. Also, who killed my wife. That's ongoing. Now, listen up.

Jennifer Lawrence. She was, she's on the cover of this month's interview magazine, the German edition. Interview magazine? Interview magazine. Big, splashy magazine all over the world. She had a more creative name. Now, here's the thing. Among the items covered in the exchange in the interview are her Hollywood icons.

Quote her, I should rather have more artistic answers ready but the truth is i'd like to be bridget jones and i am interested in hulk hogan and all of a sudden i am interested in jennifer lawrence and that uh jones and hulk hogan both hotter a little chubbier yeah right yep and you know, yeah, more fun when played by an American. A real American. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Both had a brief love affair with Colin Firth. So that's the latest and greatest in Hulk Hogan news. H-H-N. So that's the latest and greatest in Hulk Hogan news. HHN. I'm curious about one thing. Vanity Fair just says, hey, here's something we read in an interview magazine. No, no. I was saying that Vanity Fair introduced me to Jennifer Lawrence. I was like, who are these?

She's in the Hunger Games. She's in the Hunger Games. That's right. She played an X-Man. But now she's... Was she Young Myst She's in the Hunger Games. That's right. She played an X-Man. But now she's... Was she Young Mystique or something? Brogue. She could conjure shoes.

Brogue? Yeah. I thought Brogue was the X-Man who could take your British accent. Irish? Is it Irish? I thought it was anything in Britain. But aren't shoes also brogues? Yeah, yeah, yeah

We were both right and wrong For pursuing that joke Well, that's great Hulk Hogan news Also, kind of a crossover With Celebrity Birthdays Yesterday was the 25th anniversary Of Wrestlemania 3

In which Hulk Hogan body slammed Andre. Not Andre the regular sized guy. No, no, no. Yeah, exactly. Not Andre the seal. It was an Andre Bocelli. Was it Andre Bocelli? The blind...

Isn't that Andrea Bocelli? Yeah. He's going Andre the Bocelli? Yeah. He's going, Andre the Bocelli. Andre the giant of pop opera. No, it was Andre 3000 that he slammed. So, happy birthday to that wrestling match. To the body slam. Yeah.

Which turns 25 today. Okay. Which turns 25 today. Okay. Today is March 30th. Happy celebrity birthday. Well, before we get to the celebrities, happy Abby's Aunt Sheila birthday to Abby's Aunt Sheila, who has a birthday. Who is turning 30 today. You waved at the microphone.

I waved at the microphone. Is that Sheila from Twitter? Yes. She'saved at the microphone. I waved at the microphone. Is that Sheila from Twitter? Yes. She's an aunt? Yeah, she's Abby's aunt. Wow. Yeah, right? Babylicious. What is she? She's a 31? Do you want me to get...

No, I don't. I'm not going to give her age. That's young aunt. My dad has an uncle younger than him, but he's French-Canadian from Catholic times. So that makes sense. Speaking of French-Canadians, happy celebrity birthday to Celine Dion.

Bon anniversaire, chérie. She's 44 aujourd'hui. C'est malchanceux pour les Chinois. This is when you guys both play the candle From Beauty and the Beast Happy 47th birthday To television host And suspender ashore

Piers Morgan Is 47 today Bon anniversaire Piers He uh Revolting? Yeah he stinks, right? Yeah.

He, like, they really bet on the wrong pony. And it's insane how ugly men can get away with being and being on TV. Is it not? Like, his face is just, it's like a bag of shit somebody's balancing on top of a suit. And he gets to be on TV. With no tie. And women are making themselves throw up. Yeah. Yeah, no, you're right. to be on TV. With no tie. And women are making themselves throw up. Yeah. No, you're right.

To be on TV. Not because they see Piers Morgan. Probably because it helps. That's the poster that he hangs in his office. You don't have to throw up to work here, but it helps. Shockingly, a man older than Piers Morgan

What? Happy celebrity birthday to Beverly Hills 90210 star and Ian mispronouncer, Ian Ziering Oh, hey Happy birthday, guy He's 48 today Really? He's almost 50? Mm-hmm What?

Oh, man. Big celebrity happy birthday to Hollywood's favorite Dick Tracy. Warren Beatty is 75 today. 75. Wow. And the answer to this- A tenth of the number of women he slept with. And the answer to this week's Celebrity birthday trivia question This man

Was once voted Most legit Oh I know this one Until he made himself ineligible by quitting MZM It turns 50 today The big Uh oh

Uh oh That's how he would say it What is it in Roman numerals He's Roman right Five O's? Uh oh! It's the five! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! That's how he would say it. What is it in Roman numerals? He's Roman, right? He's the big five X's. Yeah, he's the big L. So, happy celebrity birthday to all our celebrities.

Yeah, I can't believe that Ian Ziering's almost 50. I know, right? Why is that one hitting me so hard? I can't believe he's older than Piers Morgan. He looks great in the last time I saw him 20 years ago. Well, what grade was Piers Morgan in on 90210? Was he in the suicide grade? He was the Krusty Dean. You know, you kids.

I've been listening to your answering machine messages he asked the most oh he's the worst how did he get the job like they went through other people before they landed on him right how how bad did everybody else do before they were like oh he really has they are they're trying to uh fill the Regis spot on Kelly. Oh, yeah. And I think they're sort of narrowing it down because they're getting a few people to host a few days in a row. Who do you think?

Who do you want to put some money on? Well, here's who it looks like it might be. Magic Johnson. Michael Strahan. Do you remember Michael Johnson? Magic Johnson's talk show? Oh, it was the worst. The Magic Hour.

Gross. Former football player Michael Strahan, who's actually great. He's the guy with the big gap in his teeth. Yeah. Yes. Don't know him. You would recognize him from commercials. Jerry O'Connell, who is...

Speaking of sliders. Who is usually great on the show, but I think he knows that he's getting close. And the last time I saw him, he looked so nervous. And he was god-awful. He's fairly charming. Yeah, he is. He's been kind of consistently charming for going on like 25 years. I thought that too.

And then this last time he hosted, I was like, uh-oh. I don't think it will go to Michael Strahan. I think it's like ever since he has since he is retired from a football play, Hollywood has tried to wedge him into things. And this is not, I don't think it's a fit. Jerry O'Connell seems to be like the, Charlie O'Connell of his family.

Which is strange. He's like the, The Surrey of the O'Connell. The living of the, like, is it Bob Balaban's Maxim is like always be warm never be hot what is bob balaban van's maxim remember his ballad and maxim that's how the british people pronounce it bob balaban aluminium and bob balaban yourself At home I want to say big thanks to Bob Balaban

Bob Balaban We've been taking a piss out of Bob Balaban It's the only thing that cheeses us up Since John Lennon got popped Happy birthday Ian Ziering Now let's move on to overhears No wait let's not Let's do another quick pause for the MaxFunDrive.

That's right, Dave. Just like we mentioned before, this is the MaxFunDrive. MaximumFun being a listener-supported organization. Every year for two weeks of the year, we reach out to you, the listener. You've listened to, what is it? Probably hundreds of hours of this show uh and other shows i mean i can't even i wouldn't even be able to calculate how many hours it's almost a million yeah no it's not quite uh now listener you're in an exclusive club because not very many people actually listen

not true uh but you're an exclusive you're in an exclusive club of people who don't think we're too obnoxious or irredeemably Canadian, which seems to be an issue for some. Yeah. You guys keep both our obnoxiousness and our Canadianism. That tribute episode you did to wheels. We did talk about wheels

on the show. Rip wheels. So, if you appreciate what we do, head over to MaximumFun.org slash donate. We are trying to get to 1,000 new donors for Maximum Fun by April 8th, if I'm not

mistaken? That's right. And if you're a new donor or if you're upping your monthly contribution from what you were regular donating that makes you eligible for thank you gifts that you can find out in full what all the thank you gifts are at maximumfund.org slash donate but these are things that include listener sponsor only content that we talked about and then there's a great things at every level there's a great uh a water bottle uh there's a post-apocalyptic emergency kit uh you get a lot

of great stuff and you know what we are all of the shows at maximum fund stay on the internet for free forever we don't take them down and then make you charge for last seasons or anything like that. So that's how we are able to keep doing it. And through your donations, we're able to always make sure that we are upgrading our equipment. We are able to pay for our guests' travel and beverages and haircuts. Sure, all the great things. We tip our guests. We tip our guests handsomely. And yeah, so it's super easy to donate.

If you're thinking about, oh, maybe this is the time, it is the time. Maximumfund.org slash donate. And why don't you listen to this message? And then we'll come back and get some overhurts for real. I'm Greg from Omaha. And I'm Shannon from omaha and we donate to maximumfund.org oh yeah we listen to all the shows yeah yeah we've been listening to throwing shade oh yeah throwing shade is amazing it's it's always been a reason to you know like increase

our donation level so it's like well they added my brother my brother and me so we should donate five dollars more a month this year as max funFun gets more and more donors, you can really see that money being put to work to make MaxFun better. I mean, Jesse probably could get away with putting out the same level of content, but you see him getting better editors and more shows and just putting so much more time and effort. So whenever I give money or when we up our donation, we really feel like we're going to improve something that we already love rather than, you know, paying for something that will stay the same. I don't think there's any other media resource or entertainment resource or what have you.

I don't think there's any other community like MaxFun out there. Support Maximum Fun today. Just visit MaximumFun.org slash donate. Thank you. Overhearts. Things overheard, overseen in your daily life. We always like to start with the guest. Which is...

The best that we do. I'm not sure. I'm making fun of myself. That's all right. I hate that guy. Now, Charlie, would you lead the charge? I would. That's alright.

Hate that guy. Now, Charlie, would you lead the charge? I would. What I'd really like to do, because my favorite overheard that I've had in my life in the last little while was just overheard sound. Oh, yes. You know when you're driving past something and the windows... Is this still your Michael Winslow impression? That's my Michael W on um uh you're driving and you got the windows down he just like and we were driving the other day just drove past a guy getting either into or out of his car just at the moment where he went so we hold the heard the whole thing of it. He just kind of went like, I just love you so much.

Anyway, my overheard. I'm worried. I think this is not the same thing I did last time. I don't get a lot of overheards. It's okay. I was in a shopper's drug mart. That's like the Walgreens where you're from. You're from

All of our listeners Where you're from you hick It's like the general store The piggly wiggly It's like Yeah anyway Either of those two superior jokes To whatever I was cucking up

So I was cooking up. So I was in the Shopper's Drug Mart and they have a cutout of Justin Bieber, like a kind of life-size sort of. So four foot one. Four foot one, little. Giant head. And these girls walk in, these little, you know, maybe 16, 17 year old girls. And one of them just goes... She sees this cutout and she

goes... It looks so fucking hot in that picture. And it was like... Two things that I loved about it were, one, she sounded like a girl butthead. Like from being so... Fully like like sort of a lisp and a little you know like it's good he looks so fucking hot in that picture but the other thing that i loved

about it was just the joylessness with which he said it like it was a punishing... You know when you get a little older and your sexuality feels kind of onerous? No, not what Dave said. More like what you said. You feel slightly a prisoner of it. You're just kind of like, I just can't wait until this part of my life is done. She had already reached that peak of like...

Like she was offended by the arousal. Yeah, ugh. Like she was offended by the arousal. Yeah, I must recognize that this exists, but I'm not happy about it. Yeah, no. And she was just such a, I feel like, glimpse into the woman she will be. Hard to please. Looks so fucking hot in that picture. And I promise, I am not exaggerating it oh i don't

doubt it for any it was like she was doing sitcom teenager anybody who would say that out loud would have to sound something like that how many girls were in the group i i think it's your your regular four oh yeah that's a good amount. Your standard issue. Were they like, yeah? I believe there was no acknowledgement. Yeah, you know why? Because she's saying shit like that all the time. They're just like, ugh. Do you have to say everything that comes into your brain?

Oh, that Kit Kat bar looks so good in that billboard. Dave, do you have something? Yeah, this is Kids Say the Darnedest Thing style. My favorite. I love it. I was watching America's Funniest Home Videos last Sunday with my niece who is, I think she is almost three.

She's two and a half-ish. She is three years adorable. Sure, two and a half-ish. She is three years adorable. Sure, two and a half years adorable. Two and a half years young. Yeah. Which is always said ironically at old people. Two and a half years young. It's like when they used to list the price for Mad Magazine,

and this is cheap. Two and a half years. Young. Pretty young, right? And we are watching America's Funniest Home Videos, two and a half years young pretty young right and we are watching America's Funniest Home Videos and Tom Bergeron she just sort of walked in the room

I was watching it by myself she walks in the room while I'm watching it she walks in during the videos and then Tom Bergeron the host comes out and she recognizes him and she says to me something that made no sense. He's a doctor man. Oh, man.

And I asked my sister, hey, does she have any relations? Like, has she ever seen Tom Bergeron before? And she was like, nope, certainly not in a doctor, man. Kind of. I wouldn't, you know what? Like,

if he came in dressed as a doc, like if I was for a checkup and Tom Bergeron walked in, I would let him touch my balls. He shows you an x-ray

that's mildly hilarious. Yeah, it's an x-ray of somebody getting hit in the balls. He's like, let me set this up for you. Does he narrate in the Saget style? No.

So he doesn't... Oh, here I am, a parakeet. What am I doing on the couch? He makes a remark, but he doesn't pretend to be one of the characters in it. Although, now that I think of it, that overheard would have been better if Tom Bergeron came on the screen

and my niece was like, oh, he looks so fucking good. He looks so fucking hot on the show. He does, though. He does that and dancing. Dancing with the stars. Dancing? Dancing with the dancing show.

DWTS? But is that a big show? Dancing with the stars show but is that a big show dancing with the stars dancing is very large so is America's Funniest Home Video is just the easiest job

on the planet because it's only ever been hosting yeah I guess so if you're a good host I think like Ryan Seacrest hosts 10 things

yeah if you're a good host like you can just read a teleprompter and like sort of vamp pretty well. Brush your teeth.

Yeah, brush your teeth. Do your homework. Take your vitamins. Say your prayers. What about... Oh, no. I had another thing. Bergeron.

We were talking about Tom Bergeron. We lost it. You know what? We'll come back to you. We'll come back to you. It'll be great. Sorry, guys. Hey, Greg.

Yeah? Do you have it overheard? I have it overseen. Oh, i'm sorry to break your heart but you'll love it you'll love it when i get there um i'll see you when i get there well if you ever get there uh i think that's the next line in that song is it um today was a day where vancouver in the the last couple of weeks has been like punishing rain followed by all of a sudden sun. Yeah, there's been a lot of teasing you. Yeah, yeah. Rain, that's like snow

where you're from. It's like hay falling from the sky. So, today was one of those days where it was off, on, but when the rain was on it was like flooding rain and then it would stop and then all of a sudden sun out of nowhere and uh i was uh cleaning up my old place and i was looking out the window and the rain had just stopped and a father and son duo raced out of the house obviously like waiting for the rain to end so that

they could play frisbee and the dad, like the dad, you could see he was motioning to the kid, go along this is gonna be great. And right away threw the frisbee right into a tree. On the first toss. They didn't even get one toss.

It was so great. They were like, we'll wait out this rain and then we're gonna frisbee the fucking day away. The longer it rains, the harder I'm gonna throw it. And it just really hooked on a branch and that was it. There was no getting it out.

It belongs to the tree now. Yeah, exactly. Some bird will live in that. Some super modern bird. Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but frisbees. Oh, Lordy. We also got overseens and overheards sent in to us from all over the world. Not just from your dumb town.

Yeah, exactly. Hey, Skies. Hey, Skies, they're going to clear up. I seen a fella at the General Store. He was asking about biscuits. If you want to be somebody who sends in overheards and such,

you can send them to StopPodcastsOrYourself at gmail.com. We'll start with this, speaking on the theme of kids say the darnedest. This is Charlyn. Charlyn, I want to say. C-H-A-R-L-Y-N. How would you pronounce that? Charlyn? Charlyn. Charlyn, I think. Char. C-H-A-R-L-Y-N. How would you pronounce that? Charlyn? Charlyn.

Charlyn, I think. Charlyn. Balaban. Balaban. Charlyn Balaban. This is Charlyn from Phoenix, Arizona, and I have an overheard for my last... What's that? Arizona.

Oh, there we go. Yeah, plurals. Yeah. This is from our last camping trip. It's in the... Do you remember yours? her last camping trip. It's in the... Do you remember yours? My last camping trip? When was my last camping trip?

You're not going to fit all that stuff in that small tent. Do you think you're going to get a bigger tent? I guess. No, I forgot his accent. I shouldn't. I have had two beer accents. Well, he didn't have an accent. No, but my pretend accent.

Oh, he was a New York cabbie guy. All right, what did you think? This was going to be a big afforest? There you go. Yeah. There was a little boy, about seven or eight, sitting all alone

in the campsite next to ours. He had an action figure grasped tight in each fist. He was slamming the action figures together face to face

whilst shouting at the top of his lungs, kissing and hugging, hugging and kissing. That kid's the greatest, right? He's off to a really strong start. He's got to get some action figures. That's very

satisfying. If there are two action figures that make a really good sound when they slam into each other, that's very satisfying. I do remember what I was going to say about Tom Bergeron. I don't know if this helps. I guess we always move forward. No, no, no.

This is the theater of the mind. Nothing helps anything, ever. No, and it's not even very good. See, this is why I shouldn't have had... I had two beers, and I feel like I've had... How about you say it? Tosh.0

Is he going to be the next He seems like the shitty generations We'll call that whole generation shitty America's Funniest Home Videos That's essentially what he does But I think kids America's Funniest Home Videos is more of a family show

So will tosh ever matriculate to uh oh will he ever uh i don't i don't know crossover his will he ever burgeon into a burgeon um good segue into a second yeah yes yes um this second second overheard comes from, in the same category of a bunch of teenage girls overheard. This is from Matt R. Sorry. That's not appropriate. What I meant to say was, Daddy like. Oh, there you go.

This is a bunch of teenage girls getting off the train. One says to another, tell your parents that you're adopted. Which is a little reverse psychology. I don't think anyone has ever convinced their parents of that. I don't have to listen to you. I'm adopted.

So I get to eat chicken and stovetop at six and eight. You got big news for you, mom and dad. When's the appropriate age to tell your parents you're adopted? Why were the dinners at 6 and 8 in that show? One of those people were European. One of those families were European people eating trash.

Stovetop. And getting drunk. Starch. The two kids are named, like, Mitch and Sven. Yeah. One family has chicken and stovetop. The other family has horse and stovetop. Now, this last one, this comes from

Scott S., who was referred to us by my brother, my brother, and me. Ma-bam-bam. Now, this is from the Edmonton Greyhound Station, which is, he claims... Wait, is this, what's this guy's name? Scott S. Okay, sorry.

Scott S. Here's, he says the Edmonton Greyhound Station is the worst in the country. Debatable. This is a drunk guy standing in front of me, had been refused travel the night before because he was too drunk he is now yelling too drunk for Greyhound he's now yelling at the security guard with shoulder length hair

drunk guy man you're like the Italian Fabio. Patient security guard. I'm Lebanese. Drunk guy. You're like the Italian Lebanese. Security guard. Fabio.

Drunk guy. Yeah. Oh, man. What, is Gandhi working this shift? Like, do you realize how patient you have to be? Sure. Yeah, that's your... And Fabio's Italian.

Yeah. Yeah. But also that he just dropped the Fabio altogether. You're the Italian Portuguese. I took the Greyhound from Vancouver to Montreal and back one summer. That's crazy. I think that is the longest Greyhound trip that I know of, personally. Oh, really?

Well, it was the worst idea ever, to the point where I went to the doctor, because I thought I had an STD or something because my balls hurt so much. What? We don't talk about this on the show. Of course, I had not been laid. And so, you go into the doctor, it's like, can you get an STD from thinking about it? From a greyhound? Did you have sex with a dog?

But I did. My balls hurt from just sitting on the greyhound for 72 hours twice. Oh, it was the worst experience. You have what we call greyhound balls. Grey balls.

Oh, wow. So good luck with that, anyone digging a greyhound. Watch out for... Grey balls. Look out for number one. No, it's number three. Oh, sorry. I didn't understand what you were saying.

You were numbering balls. I meant like when you go to the bathroom for a number one or a number two. Or a number three. Oh, right, right, right. In addition to overheard... What's a number three? Is that right, right, right. In addition to overheards... What's a number three? Is that both at the same time? What's the magic number?

If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down. If it's white, you're all right. Oh! Oh! It's a coney. I call it, it's a coney. Pulling a coney.

Hello, Dave and Graham, and guests, and Grandpa. This is Warren from Edmonton, Alberta, calling in with an overseen. I was in a shopping mall and I passed a guy standing at one of those bank machine kiosks in the mall. I don't know if I said that. But as I go by, I see the guy clench his teeth, give the machine a finger, turn and walk away. Up yours, ATM.

I like to think that it's the same Edmontonian who just had the interaction with the Greyhound security guy. Oh, the drug guy? It's like, I'm going gonna take Fabiano to the town. I'm gonna go get some money. We're gonna go drink. You're like the Syrian ATM.

You're like Johnny Five. You're like a Johnny Five. You're like the American Johnny Five. You're like Wally. You're like a Johnny Five. You're like the American Johnny Five. You're like Wally. You're like a new Wally for now. A bad Wally. You're like a bad Wally. Bad Wally.

You're like a Wally Wally. Bad Wally 2. Port of Caldwell. Oh, Lordy. Next guy. Hello, Dave, Graham, and possible guests. This is Mike in Baltimore. I haven't ever heard.

I was walking through my neighborhood, and I passed this guy in a pretty heated argument on the phone. And as I was walking by him, he says, now you're telling me that you went to church with cinnamon? Now I know you're lying. Cinnamon hasn't been to church in 15 years. Oh, sinful cinnamon.

Oh, man, the joke should have been, can't spell cinnamon without cinnamon. Why didn't I take an extra second? It just must be irritating to be from Baltimore, and so everyone, I just immediately thought it would be wire related. I haven't overheard from Baltimore. There's a guy yelling, WMD! Pandemic!

Yeah, I overheard Avon Barksdale. There's this guy whistling Farmer in the Dell. I gave him my whole staff, even though he wasn't armed. But yeah, if your name's Cinnamon, you cannot be saved. No. Well, I mean, do you think that somebody with the name Cinnamon was really excited when people were doing the Cinnamon Challenge? Old people still are.

What's the Cinnamon Challenge? Catch me up. You eat like a tablespoon. Try to eat a tablespoon or so of cinnamon. You can't do it. You will cough like crazy, and all your friends will laugh at you. It's like how many stone wheat things can you eat in a minute. Yes.

Yeah. The Oki cookie. What is the Oki cookie? The Oki cookie is the same. It's not the same thing. It's the dumb thing with guys in a circle and a cookie. Oh, right, yeah. When was it ever a cookie?

I thought we agreed that it was a cracker. I think it was... No, wasn't it crackers? I think it was... Crunched up. Anyway. What? Yeah, isn't that how it works?

Crumbled up crackers like in soup. What? Stop it. I, um... Crumbled up crackers like in soup. What? Stop it. So the cinnamon challenge is when you eat cinnamon and you tape it and it goes viral. I thought it was maybe one of those challenges. I like when a cereal issues a challenge and the challenge is just eat nothing but our cereal. Like, that's not a challenge. Like, Special K does that, and they'll be like,

eat Special K for two meals a day. It's like, well, that's not a challenge. That's like if you said to a girl, it's like, okay, you're going to do the suck my dick challenge. I challenge you to suck my dick. That does sound, but I thought you were, that is a challenge, though. Right?

I thought you were going to say, yeah, something like the na a challenge, though. Right? I thought you were going to say... Twice a day. Yeah, something like the napping challenge, just have a nap twice a day. No, but what I mean is, like, you present a thing that it's like, I challenge you to give me $1,000. Yeah, the upside is all for the person challenging. This is a very fratty podcast. Yeah, no, I'm sorry.

I'm really working blue. It's us. Or gray? Am I working I'm sorry. I'm really working blue. It's us. Or gray? Am I working gray? Anyway, I apologize to the listener. No, we all do. And it started off so erudite. Like, it was all, well, I'm a professor now.

This book club talked about my book, and then I fucking jerked off on a greyhound. On a crumbled up cracker. On a greyhound that had to stand in the middle not so fast now are you and finally hey Dave and Graham it's Ryan from Vancouver with an overheard here I just saw one of the weirdest things I've ever seen

in my life I was at a friend's apartment building and there's a common room we were all hanging out in with a window overlooking a pool and an old elderly Asian man just walked out completely naked It was at a friend's apartment building, and there's a common room we were all hanging out in with a window overlooking a pool. And an old elderly Asian man just walked out completely naked, walked into the hot tub, realized that he wasn't wearing any clothes, and then ran back into the changing room. It was pretty funny, and the worst thing was I was the only one facing the window, and none of my friends saw. You know what? I think you imagined it.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and that's one of those things where it's like, if you imagine a naked Asian man, that means it's time to change your course in life. Like, it's time to make a change. That's what that means. And,

uh, right? It's like one of those dreams where it's like, if you see, Oh, it's like a, a harbinger. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Like, if you see, uh, if you, like, if you lose all your teeth in a dream, that means it's time for a change. You see a naked Asian man.

You need to take the special K challenge. Yeah. You have to take the cold K challenge. I'm regretting not having done a Dell callback when you said the farmer in the Dell. Oh, you know what? Sorry, that's what I was thinking about that whole time because that overheard was only addressed to graham and dave oh yeah yeah so be sure to include guest yeah

your folly listener um but i think that's pretty amazing seeing a guy walk out naked and then realize he's naked and run back in it's like a Just for Laughs gag. It's a real Mr. Bean. Yeah. To be, because as you get older, I think you get more comfortable with your body until. Really? Don't you? It seems crazy because I'm hyper uncomfortable with it now. It seems like that will. If I stay on my current trajectory, then by like 95, I'll be okay taking off my shirt in a change room.

I was more... As a teenager, I was more uncomfortable than I am now. And I had a hottie's body. When I was a teenager, I don't think I had any... I didn't have any concept of

the... I think some sort of body shame. Maybe in the late teens, that's when body shame really seeped in and has really gotten me in a half Nelson for the rest of my 20s, 30s, into my 50s, which I am now, and beyond. No, you guys are beautiful. Oh, no matter what you say? I'm not, it's not recording a song. Words won't bring me down. They won't bring me up either, though. No, that's true.

Yeah, you were one. I'm half sperm. What do you have coming up that you would like to plug here on the podcast? I'm going sperm. What do you have coming up that you would like to plug here on the podcast? I'm going to be at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival. Yes. I'm doing the show with the boys from This Is That. We're going to be taping a live episode of This Is That.

We've had both of them on the show before. Super funny. Pat Kelly and Peter Oldring. Super, super funny show. on the show before. Super funny. Pat Kelly and Peter Oldring. Super, super funny show. And so I will be

warming up the audience and maybe a little surprise. It is. I feel like at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival this year, that is the show to see. This is that.

It should be really fun. You've been on the show before doing characters, doing your French-Canadian characters? Yes. I have every time. Maurice Lebut. Every time they, doing your French-Canadian characters? Yes. I have every time. Maurice Lebut. Every time they have had a French-Canadian on, that has been me, I think.

I think they might have tried in the first little bit, and they both struggled maybe a bit with the... But I was also a woman once. Oh, right. Where I spoke in a very girly voice, and then they slightly sped up the tape. Oh yeah, on the TikToks, right? The TikToks, yeah. But it's always fun to do that and I'm going to be doing the debaters

at the Burton Cummings Theatre on Randy Pogman Street. And I'm debating, well, guess who? But the Winnipeg Festival really is, it's one of my favorites, like,? But the Winnipeg Festival really is... It's one of my... It's the favorite.

It's so much fun. A lot of comics love it because it's a lot of fun. I went with you the first time. Yeah. And it's a neat... It's a very Canadian festival. It's not really industry-ish. People don't talk about deals there and stuff.

They talk about jokes that they saw. And it's really fun. It's the, of, of the not industry festival, which Canada is loaded with. It is the least industry of the industry list festival. Yeah. And it's,

it's basically, it's like a post-industrial lens. It's the Detroit festival. No, but, and Winnipeg is such a great town like the people there are so into shows yes they're so into like it just to go from this fucking place where it's just like i wanted to go to your thing but there was sunny for 15 minutes

i threw my frisbee into a tree yeah yeah i was mourning my fris. You're just constantly in the struggle with, like, mountains. Maybe attendings. Yeah. Yeah. This is, like, I feel like Vancouver, the city motto is, by land and sea we prosper, or whatever. It should just be Vancouver, maybe attending. Versus, like, Winnipeg, they're just so Inuit. They're Inuit.

They're Inuit. They're Inuit. That's the Nunavut Festival slogan. We're Inuit. They're Inuit. They're Inuit. They're Inuit. That's the Nunavut Festival slogan. We're Inuit. We're Inuit. But, yeah, no. So, if you're going to be in Winnipeg, what, April, I think the shows are on April 11th, 13th, and 14th.

Yes. Checking out. And you're on Twitter. You're at Charlie Demers. I feel like I'm finally at a number of followers where I can look Dave in the face. Because Dave's kind of the follower king. His eyes are down there. But look, I'm no Carly Rae Jepsen.

I don't know what that means. She's Justin Bieber's protege. Call me maybe, et cetera. He's got proteges now? Oh, yeah. And his proteges have proteges. But you're at a good... Here's the thing that I don't understand about Twitter, right?

It's like, Kelly Oxford's very funny. Yeah. Dave Shumka's very funny. Yes. I would say, batting average, quite in terms of like a funny tweet. Yeah. 300 whatever thousand to seven. What's the metric?

Like I don't understand how it works. I don't understand either. I feel like the celebrity funny tweeters are funnier than just the people I know. Just the funny tweeters. Yeah. Yeah. Look, I know I'm criminally underrated. We're on a show here.

But you've got a pretty good number. The other problem with Twitter is it's an ever-receding horizon. Like, there's no number where you're like, yeah. And nobody... I also don't feel that anyone... Like, when I would look at other people, like, that I follow, how many people they followed, it would be like, oh, yeah, this guy's got a few thousand followers,

and now he's following 60 people. But now everyone's on Twitter, so everyone follows hundreds of people. So sort of everything gets missed. Like, there's too much to follow now. So, Twitter, overcapacity? Overcapacity for the last time. Read about it in the academic journal I'm going to publish. No, I should have way more followers, as should both of you.

We should have way more listeners. But I understand why I don't have... You're too Canadian. Yeah, well, no, I'll have like three or four days of solid really funny stuff, and then do like a week and a half of just shrill political retweets. Oh, right, right, right. You,

I've picked a thing, you're funny, and you're consistently funny. I am without... I have no ethos. No, but that's not... I don't believe in nothing. If I chose one, then maybe I'd be okay. Anyway. Right. That's... my point is Twitter. What's the deal? What's the deal?

You're right. What is the deal? Twitter.com slash what's the deal? But anyway, you can find me if I haven't made an excellent case here for why you shouldn't follow me. Shrill leftism, you say? Canadian shrill leftism. Someone on Twitter today called you the trout leg trotsky or on facebook

yeah wow never heard that yeah that was pretty good I saw that actually that's fantastic the trout leg trotsky getting a nickname like that

yeah it's true that is fantastic I should get it printed on a satin jacket yeah at the very trotsky would sounds like something trotsky would do

as long as everyone else gets it uh pretty good Dave anything upcoming? I'm going to be ice-picking Charlie in the face. Right after I fuck Frida Kahlo. Nope.
