Episode Date: November 5, 2012

Improviser Jayden Pfeifer returns to talk about local listings, celebrity sightings, and Graham's good deeds.

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 242 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name's Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who couldn't be more excited about the Lucasfilm sale to Walt Disney, Mr. Dave Shumka. Yeah, if there's one thing that excites me, it's sales. I'm a big fan of commerce in general.

Yeah, corporate mergers. This excites me to no end. Think of all the dollars. Yeah, absolutely. George Lucas is going to buy himself a new throat pouch. He's going to buy himself the world's biggest throat pouch, and then he's going to donate it to charity. Yeah. And our guest this week, a very funny young man.

And our guest this week, a very funny young man. He is an improviser and like a guy who makes things happen. A producer, a creative director. Yeah. An improv impresario. He runs the General Fools Festival in Saskatchewan, Canada, and is here in town for the Vancouver Improv Festival. A second time appearance on this show? Yeah! Mr. Number Two.

That's his nickname. Mr. Jaden Pfeiffer is here. Hello! Hello and welcome. Thank you. Get ready for the sophomore jinx. What's that? Is that...

Doing poorly the second time. Sophomore slump. Sophomore slump. Yeah. What's the... Is there a junior junior hijinks no it's it's like hijinks fun yeah there's a lot of those it's like a an athlete or musician actually as well yeah second album if your second album like you have a lot of hype and praise for

your first album and then your second album not so good is that like uh did that happen to fiona apple sure that seems like something like uh maybe it also happened to a... Natalie Imbruglia? Oh, absolutely! Oh yeah, there's a long trail of one-hit wonders who have suffered severely from it. Has anybody ever had like a one-hit and then the second album, Stinkeroo, and then they came

back strong with the third album? Probably. Probably Robin, I bet. Oh yeah! If anything, she disappeared for a while and now she's back with the bigger sneakers than ever. Should we get to know us? Let's do. Get to know us. Also, Alanis, right?

Because she was previously Alanis, and then came back as Alanis Morissette. And then she came back as the naked Alanis Morissette. The Alanis that is God. Yeah. Oh, yeah, then she came back. She came back as a supposed former infatuation junkie. I think Fiona Apple falls into the category of first album popular, second album not, third album huge. Isn't that right?

Well, whatever album she just recently released is getting the most critical praise ever. praise yeah i think that's maybe fourth or fifth album oh is it really yeah clearly i don't follow her career that closely she also scored the soundtrack of mortal combat she did a lot of soundtrack work in the middle yeah the sad song when everyone's getting hurt at the end yeah oh i can't wait till they make a new new mortal didn't she have an album it wasn't her second album like doomed to uh fail because the title was a uh like 400 word poem oh really like when the pawn did i just go yeah when the pawn something and it was like a chess analogy for presumably her vagina. So in the charts, it would just read like the pawn. When the pawn dot, dot, dot.

So what's going on, Jaden? Tell us what's new. What's happening? I don't know. I'm in town for the weekend. Just hanging out with a bunch of improvisers. How's that a lot of people uh they are you always trying to there's a lot of one-upping going on yeah yeah we refer to it as

yes anding uh yeah it's fun i mean this i think i think any festival that's like connected to your favorite thing ends up being the most fun just because you're surrounded by people that are good at it and are funny oh i'd love to go to like a twizzlers festival oh man twizzler con uh so yeah it's been great uh and i don't i'm not actually even doing that much for this festival i'm in like two shows and otherwise i'm just hanging out so it's been nice visiting with people went to went to late night laser tag and north vancouver last night really now that was really fun that was how many how many of you went like 35 oh thanks for the invite yeah yeah i don't run things well yeah you invite things yeah exactly i got a whole laser tag up so laid out on my bed so it was yeah it was it was kind of what you're describing where it's like you know the improvisers

are nerdy enough that they want to be good at laser tag but they're also all also trying to be funny the whole time so like acting like soldiers and like dying elaborately but also wishing to win so it was uh it was fun turns out uh festival director uh alistair cook and i both figured out that the vests uh can be flipped inside out so you can just turn them around and walk around and shoot whoever you want. I think that really... And we did very well towards the end. That's going against the spirit. Look, there's no...

All's fair in love and lasers. Yeah. Well, that's rotten of you. Yes, truly. We really spoiled the fun. Yeah, you guys... Yeah, isn't it part of the fun is getting shot? It's like having...

It's like a real life cheat code. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. We were on like round three and it was 1.30 in the morning and I think we were all just sort of exhausted by it. So we just looked for ways to reinvent it for ourselves. Is late night laser tag.

Jaden Piper is credited with reinventing laser tag. Is there, is that like a regular thing? I don't know. It was on our social itinerary for the week. You had a social itinerary? Well, it was Sarah Sloboda last week. That's right. She mentioned it.

She was telling us about in Edmonton, the late night abandoned school. And I was... The abandoned school... Hide and Seek. Yeah. I was at that festival the next morning. I flew in the next morning at 11 a.m. And everybody was, like, they were all sitting around, like, in awe of the experience they had just had.

Constantly, like, all day, just like, can you believe we did the coolest thing? And I was like, and now I'm here. Hi, friends. Yeah, and they're like, tonight's schedule is napping. Yeah, there was even people who said, like, I don't think we'll ever top how much fun we had last night so i just like hung out and went home yeah that was well well we did it guys yeah we did it we've reached the pinnacle let's all quit yeah everybody's burning their passes yeah we're finished fun is over yeah we're gonna go get corporate jobs um uh so yeah that's it for me i'm just that's

hanging out around lots of funny people and loving vancouver i haven't i was here last year but i i lived here previously many years ago and i i always remember it and fondly when i'm back yeah it's uh yeah it's all right wet it's so wet yeah i forgot about the rain. Yeah. Often when I leave Vancouver, I forget how wet it is. And then when I return, I go, oh, yeah. Doy. Yeah. So now you live full time in Regina, Saskatchewan. Yeah, I do.

And for listeners out there who have never been or maybe never heard of, explain what is Regina like. What's the deal with that? What's the deal with Regina? How do you guys keep it going? You've never been. Well, yeah. How is it? Well, what would an out-of-towner, they're like, I'm going to Regina.

What do you do? Well, I think I actually, I mean, it's a smaller city and it's a prairie city, so it doesn't have this as much of like a thriving cultural scene. Um, however, I do really, really feel that that's changing a lot, especially in the last two or three years. And, uh, and so it's actually a pretty exciting place. Like I find it to be, um, I'm, I was born and raised there, so I've, I remember it being very boring when I was a teenager and i am seeing that change a lot so um there's a lot of cool things there's a lot of cool new venues that have opened in the city in the last couple years so a lot more of like touring acts or people starting up shows and there's a lot like i don't know comparatively to a big city there's less but for that size of city

it's a pretty fun place right now was anyone not bored as a teenager i feel like no matter where you grow up like you're not able to go to most places i feel like somebody like an amanda bines probably was not bored as a teen oh yeah probably run off her feet yeah yeah her and like a hillary duff like they they were probably so anyone other than a teen superstar may have been bored with their teens Yeah, or like those kids that were kind of like Reese Witherspoon's character in Election. Oh, okay. Like people with a ton of activities. Yeah, I feel like that.

Overachievers. That was the other end of the spectrum. And then the rest of the teenagers were bored. I mean, I don't think kids in youth gangs are bored. I think they're absolutely bored. I think they're too bored, and that's why they're in these gangs. Oh, I used to. But then once they're in these gangs Oh I used to But then once they're in the gangs

Then there's lots to do Look at all the activities we're doing I think that's why things like the Boy Scouts exist Look at our itinerary of activities Sewing patches on our jackets Cutting the fingers off our gloves Late night laser dome Oh yeah

Late night killing yeah i think uh um what did you guys do at night when you were teenagers like i i don't want to talk like anytime i went out i went out like maybe uh uh 10 weekends a year yeah i wouldn't go to parties or anything but like i might go play pool and be bad at that oh sure um i i went out most weekends and but all my friends were like me so like a really fun friday or saturday night was often like we would go sit in our friend's basement and like talk about movies and uh debate things we were uneducated about and then like and like drive around and we thought it was pretty great driving around a lot of driving around that was big like if you had a friend who had a car especially a car you could smoke in uh then you had it made and uh yeah we

had a friend who had like a really shitty car we just drive around smoke your guts out yes from neighborhood to neighborhood uh there was always maybe a party on the docket that we were supposed to get to or that was allegedly happening and then you show up and it wasn't or it had already ended a la you know jayden pfeiffer time you show up party's already over it's over everyone's had their fun experience and they're all sleeping yeah so driving around that seems to be that took up most of the real estate also hanging out at a 7-eleven that would until dusk loitering at least loitering i would have been terrified of that as a teenager i would have thought i was going to get beat up the whole

time but you're the you're the ones that people are terrified of yeah you're the teenager oh no i would have anything like that like hanging out at a convenience store, would have seemed like gang activity to me. I was very happy to sit on someone's couch and like, guys, let's talk about Monty Python and the Holy Grail, like how cool it is. Yeah, we don't want to run into that. There's a lot of taquito gang. I don't want to watch it again. I just want to go through it frame by frame in our minds. I think that would be a good...

You were saying that loitering seems like gang activity. That would be the lamest initiation. How long can you hang? Like a marathon hangout. Get an extra pump of plastic cheese on your nachos. Yeah, see if you can read an entire magazine

cover to cover in the store without getting yelled at by the clerk. See if you can read an entire magazine, cover to cover, in the store without getting yelled at by the clerk. See if you can subscribe to a magazine while in the store. Fill out one of those cards. You have to stand outside and spit on the sidewalk a hundred times. Oh, yeah. Kids, teenagers still have a lot of problem with having spit in their mouth. They gotta get it out.

Also grown-ups. Yeah, hanging out in a friend's basement, that sounds familiar. So much of that. Yeah, occasionally you'll go to a movie, but even that was out of...

That wasn't... I didn't have that kind of spending money. Scratch. Yeah. We did that a lot. We went and saw a lot of movies. And a lot of, like,

marathon movie days where, like, you see a matinee, go eat some chips, go back, see a 7 o'clock, days where like see a matinee go eat some chips go back see a seven o'clock maybe try and see a 10 o'clock like sneak into it a lot of movies what was do you remember like a sequence of movies that you did um i remember because they were never themed they were just whatever was in the theater yeah what's timed right that you can um i remember going to see i think i went and saw 12 monkeys On the same day

That's a lot of monkeys I saw 12 movies about monkeys There was MXP, MVP Planet of the Apes Planet of the Apes, Ed I remember seeing 12 monkeys On the same day that I saw I want to say like

Dunstan Checks In Like after sunrise or before sunrise before sunset i feel like it was like that and 12 monkeys was maybe in the same day i might be mixing the years are those movies good the ethan hawke julie delpy ones they're making a third one oh i'm surprised it's not the fourth yeah i consider them the fiona apple albums of movies they're kind of like the seven up of movies like it's like every couple of years, it's the same characters, right? And it's like, why don't you guys just get

together? Oh, is that what they don't do? Yeah, they kind of... The first one they meet... Is it on a train? Yeah, like in Europe and it's like they have one crazy night. So that was before sunrise? Yes. The next is before sunset.

Then it's like noon to one. The witching hour. Yeah. It's just called lunch. Lunch with a pal. But yeah, I've never seen the second one. Before it melts.

That one's about eating ice cream. Going to bed early. In time to catch the last bus. Yeah. But yeah, they meet and then I can't remember what the reason is. They don't end up together. He's got a gross mustache. Yeah, yeah.

He just can't get over it. He's got to go smoke cigarettes and drink coffee in some, you know, Seattle coffee shop. Yeah. And she... I don't know what her deal is. What other movie is she in? Is she French? Julie Delpy? Yeah. I mean, I coffee shop. Yeah. And she... I don't know what her deal is. What other movie is she in? Is she French? Julie Delpy?

Yeah. I mean, I think so. Yeah. Well, I know that she kisses that way. Definitely. She uses the French style. That's how she got in the movie. Yeah.

Yeah. In her audition. She wore French braids and she did a French kiss. Wore a French maid outfit. Hit the director with a baguette. And he was like, you're perfect. You're exactly what I think the French are like. Yeah.

I'm worried that you're not wearing a stripy top, but we could get Wardrobe working on that. Oh, and a neck kerchief. These are French things. Absolutely. Absolument. But are they really working on a third one? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. If it's not already out already.

Oh, that's fun. I don't know. I If it's not already out already I don't know I don't think it's out I don't think the second one has ended yet If you started seeing it a couple years ago It's still happening Who's going to play them in the prequel? Yeah Because they're eventually going to have to go back

To before they met that one time And find out that they secretly did meet Oh yeah Bumped into each other in the butterfly effect they're eventually going to have to go back to before they met that one time. And find out that they secretly did meet. Oh, yeah. Bumped into each other and the butterfly effect brought them back around. I think... Zac Efron. Yeah. And Julie Delphi.

And Julie Delphi. French don't crack. Oh, yeah. This is somebody who's telling me in the movie Looper right just speaking of uh people playing other people it uh somebody pointed out that they did all this great job with the makeup but uh joseph gordon levitt doesn't have like earlobes that attach and uh bruce willis does and it's like it seems like he could have spent another $10 on some fake earlobes.

Silly putty? Silly putty. Everything else is, like, perfect, but at the end they've just put gum there to make it look like an earlobe. Why did they do... Because they made Joseph Gordon-Levitt look like Bruce Willis, and not the other way around. Why couldn't they have both sort of, like... Met in the middle. Yeah.

Oh, that's a good call. Like, just made a made a face yeah it was like we'll both have uh big bushy mustaches yeah that was their uh their brilliant idea idea we'll both have an arrow through the head yeah that's how you'll know it's me yeah we'll we'll have that David Bowie style makeup across our eye. And then a big bushy mustache. To hide half of our face. That would have been an amazing still photograph. Did you guys see that movie?

Yeah. Of them sitting in the cafe. But if they both looked like David Bowie just staring at each other. With giant mustaches. I can't believe it's me from the future. Really? You can't? Yeah.

I can't believe I held on to this dumb mustache all those years. Yeah, we still really like this style. You are ahead of the curve. Everyone looks like this in the future. So, you grew up in Saskatchewan. You're back living there now. Do you still... And now there's more venues.

There's more things to do. And if I'm just in town for the weekend, what do I do in Saskatchewan? Well, I mean, I can openly plug something if you want. There's a really great website in Regina. But it's only... Well, we only have the one. Yeah. It's reginaiscool.com backslash events.

Oh, okay. It's not that. Oh, what? It's not that. Yeah, it could have been. Really? It's actually a four-word slash. Reginaiscool.com.

There's a website here called Vancouver is Awesome. I know. That's true. Damn it. Actually, there's a lot of stuff going on, but it's not... There's really good listings in local magazines, like Regina's Georgia Straight or whatever, which is called the Prairie Dog. That's a complicated name.

Regina's Georgia Straight. We mostly just copy other things. So, the Prairie Dog. Yeah. Good listings there. And there's a great website called TakeItAllIn.com's Georgia Strip. We mostly just copy other things. So, the prairie dog. Yeah, good listings there. And there's a great website called TakeItAllIn.com. Ooh, gross. Which is, I know. And it's like music listings for three separate venues all aggregated to one site

in a calendar. It's really great, and yeah. It's a helpful tool. I think I kind of prefer ReginaIsCool.com. Yeah. Yeah. TakeItAllIn. Yeah. Yeah. To take it all in. Yeah, yeah. And you have a... Wait, I want to talk more about the local listings.

Okay. I don't know what... How is it arranged? I get there tonight. What do I do? I don't know. Like... Oh, no, but there's not like one cool spot.

No, I'm joking. I do not want to talk more about this. You have a young son? I do do yeah four you're almost four did he go out for halloween he did as an elephant what yep i love it that's pretty adorable it was pretty grand uh his choice uh uh yes in it was actually the outfit that i got from last year it was a bit big okay and so he wore it uh you'll grow into this and then you'll be able to wear it for years literally yeah and the but he in the year since last halloween he's become very fond of that outfit yeah and now that it fits him he was like he was pretty into wearing it and so much so actually like he wore it all day um like when

he went to preschool all the kids were in their outfits so he just was an elephant all day and then we went to my parents house to show him off, and my mom had purchased him a tiger outfit. And she was like, oh, let's put this one. I want to see what this one looks like. And she took the elephant off, and it was just heartbreak. Oh, harsh. Just crying and hated it and, like, appealing to me. Like, why is this happening to me?

And then so there's, like, one photograph of him in the tiger outfit outfit and we had to take it right off yeah the elephant background you should have just put the tiger one over top of the elephant and then it was an elephant going dressed as a tiger that's it would have been a better idea oh man why wasn't i there i was too busy checking out the listings taking it all in yeah did you go trick-or-treating is that a four-year-old yeah when trick-or-treating? Yeah. Is it a four-year-old? Yeah, one trick-or-treating. When is a four-year-old's trick-or-treating stamina? We went, like, once around the block. Great. And it was very cold out, as is the case for Prairie Halloweens.

Yeah. And so we went around. We went to... We probably hit up about 15 houses, 20 houses. Was he wearing a jacket over top of it? He was wearing, like, a full winter outfit under the suit oh that's perfect so he looked yeah he looked like he was just dressed up he didn't have like a whole parka on top it was all underneath nice it was all bundled up under the outfit it was great um and it took him a couple houses to kind of figure it out

and then by about the third house he didn't need any assistance he figured and he was angry like it was cold so i kept trying to skip houses and he kept like grabbing my arm and dragging me up driveways he was like what are we doing we're passing up all these houses yeah i'm an elephant i never forget yeah he liked it a lot well done thanks uh do you have any peanut candy he would say he would for example um now uh as the father do you go through do you comb through the the candy and take out favorites uh for myself yeah or safety hazards yeah a lot there was a lot of uh bobby pins a lot of safety pins razor blades and apples um bags that are labeled poison um skulls and crossbones i actually i actually didn't and but the only reason is because he was totally

uninterested in it. Like, we got back with the candy, and he, like, set it down and started playing with stuff. He didn't... He was more into the conquest and not the spoils. Huh. That's an interesting... Because I can see that. Like, it's like, yeah, yeah. Just like the thrill of the chase. Yeah. It was also

exactly what I was like as a child. Really? Yeah, I never liked candy. I still don't. Like, sugary things. So I would go out trick-or-treating and love getting all the Chase. Yeah. It was also exactly what I was like as a child. Really? Yeah. I never liked candy. I still don't. Like sugary things. So I would go out trick-or-treating and love getting all the stuff. Do you have anything savory? Yeah. And then give most of it to my sister.

I would eat the peanut butter cups and the raisins, usually, were the things I would eat. Yeah. I would use the toothbrushes. Yeah. Yeah. The old lady gave me some pennies. I'd put those in my penny jar and right to bed. Yeah. I feel like one year I go into a house and they gave me some pennies. I'd put those in my penny jar and right to bed. Yeah.

I feel like one year I go into a house and they gave me a fridge magnet. I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. Every kid's got a fridge. Yeah. Well, did you have like when you were a kid, did you have a fridge magnet that was like your fridge magnet?

No. Oh, man. Someone moved my fridge magnet. Yeah. This is for putting my list. I had one of Jerry Seinfeld. Oh, fun. Really? That was my fridge magnet. This is for putting my list. I had one of Jerry Seinfeld. Oh, fun. Really?

That was my fridge magnet. Was that the one you got trick-or-treating? I got one trick-or-treating. It was a ghost theme. Or maybe a skeleton. Maybe a skeleton playing himself like a xylophone. Sure. It seems like it sticks out in my memory for some reason.

And then, yeah, Halloween is such a fun and then november just has no there's no fun in it right november is just really bleak remembrance day and then fun and then winter yeah and then a sad cold winter yeah because there's no every month kind of has something that's kind of a dumb fun thing.

Yes, and. You just look so despondent. You're like just looking around the room waiting for it to stop. Well, I mean, some of these things, they just get away from you. They become greater than you. And then it's like... You have to know when to give it up. Yeah, it's like Batman became a symbol.

You gotta know when to hold them. Right back on up. Yeah, it's like Batman became a symbol. It's like cards. You've got to know when to hold them. Right back on top. Yeah. That could be the official carol of card day. The gambler. Yeah. So, well, thanks for coming on the show. Oh, it's entirely my pleasure.

Dave, what's going on with you? Well, we just got back from New York City and from the Poconos and MaxFunCon. And boy, was that fun. It was. The maximum amount. Yeah. And I don't have a copy of that episode yet. We recorded a live episode there.

Yeah. Hopefully, we'll release that in the near future. And I think we talked a little bit about our time in new york city we sure did but we did not mention a couple of uh um my favorite things that happen in new york city i know as soon as uh we we uh left the stage there i was like there was a there was instantly two things i thought of yeah um why do we talk about that uh okay we were in New York for like two days prior to MaxFunCon. That's like a week in any other city. Yeah.

In a city that doesn't sleep. Yeah. Yeah. Except, you know, between the hours of one and five seems like they kind of... Yeah, it shuts down. It shuts down a lot. Why do they keep saying that then? No one...

I think just one guy says it. Oh, okay. Yeah. Jay-Z. Mm-hmm. Yeah. just one guy says it okay yeah jay-z um yeah uh the one thing i wanted to bring up was we didn't mention uh either of our celebrity sightings yeah well that was exactly that cannot work yeah it was a big deal um well one of them wasn't that big a deal because we happened to be walking

by the ed sullivan theater as it was letting out uh and and sull Yeah. The ghost of Ed Sullivan said, we've got a really big shoe up here in hell. He's in hell. But he's putting on shows. Yeah. So he's happy. He's still too. He's in the biz. As we were walking by that theater, Kristen Ritter, the star of Don't Trust the B in

Apartment 23, was walking out. She's so beautiful. She was all glammed up. She could be a Banana Republic model. Oh, absolutely she could. That's high praise, Dave. She used to be a Banana Republic model. Okay.

There was, and there was also not just her, but there was all like 10 very apish looking security guards. Because it was just like we were on a normal street and then we turn around the corner and there was all these giant men in suits with the earpieces and we didn't know, we were like, oh who

could be so gigantic and then I was like, oh yeah, she was on Breaking Bad and then the other one we were heading out about to go to dinner and we were walking down the street and Graham doesn't act like this.

Graham doesn't behave this way usually. But like half a block away, he pointed out hey, check out that lady with the huge butt. I mean, it was huge. Wow. Like, you know, enough that I was like sure, everybody everybody, enough that I was like, everybody. Everybody.

Bear is mentioning. Everybody, check this out. So as we continue to walk down the street, I forgot about her. And then I just noticed, like, as we were 10 feet away, that we had caught up with her because she was getting into an SUV. And who was it? It was Coco. Ice-T's wife. Wow. Yeah. I was going through all the big butts I know I didn't get to that one

Who are the famous ones? Kardashian J-Lo Does Beyonce count? She's bootylicious Oprah Oprah has a big butt Reginald Valjohnson.

But, and then a couple days. Oh, yeah. And so we literally just walked past and we're like, hey, I think that was Coco. Yeah, me too. Yeah, nice. That was the end of the story. Counts as a sighting. Yeah. And the next, after the hurricane hit the eastern seaboard, there were pictures of her, like, in a... Using her butt as a flotation device.

Yeah, she was, like, in a halter top, like, out in the storm, getting her boobs wet. Holding the waves back. Yeah, exactly. Coco versus the storm. Coco one, storm zero. And the other thing that we neglected to mention Which was the greatest thing Was that there were A lot of street vendors

Everywhere And we They basically, Graham Was mostly a lightning rod for them Yeah, anybody handing out flyers Yeah, they spotted Graham And they were like, oh boy, I'm going to give this guy something. And so there was a lot of like trying to shake your hand and then not letting go of it. And then my favorite thing that happened, why don't you say what the stranger trying

to sell you something said to you? Well, the first guy said, hey, you want to come to a comedy show? Hipsters love comedy shows. And I was like, good fuck off, Michael. Because I was the hipster in that scenario. There you were. And then there was another guy,

when we were walking down the street, that said, picked me out of a crowd and said, hey, Mr. Caveman. Yeah. You know know to be fair if you think about movies that are made when it's like a caveman who shows up in new york city and doesn't know nobody ever looks at them and like right away and goes like what's that caveman doing here that's true he's just in a crowd and they're all walking past the caveman And he's like staring around Yeah and everybody's just going about their business To that guy's credit he's like

It's finally happened I'm going to be the one who notices Yeah I'm going to extend the The olive branch to the missing link See something say something Is that the wrong analogy The missing link Did I mix my metaphor

All I know is that at one point We were talking about how New York had a lot of Gotham-esque It was a lot of Gotham stuff in the air What do you mean? I don't remember, we were talking about We walked past a restaurant that was called Gotham something

And then you were like Does New York think that it's Gotham City? And then Or does it know that it's Gotham something. Oh, yeah. And then you were like, does New York think that it's Gotham City? Or does it know that it's Gotham City? Yeah, and then two minutes later, when we were crossing the street, there was just a dude dressed like Batman. It wasn't a Halloween. And he looked pretty sad, too. Oh, yeah.

Like he had just, Bane had just beaten him up bad. I don't think Batman has a lot of happy moments. That's true. He goes to parties, but he doesn't celebrate. No, he's never having fun at parties. He's always kind of being wry at parties. He's the death of the party. Yeah.

I love the image that I have now when you said of Batman being sad because Bane beat him up. That's what Batman does when he loses fights. He's just moping around Gotham City. And everyone's like, it'll be okay, Batman. He's like, no, don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah. I gotta go home. You don't have to cheer me up, guys.

I know I stunk today. You're not helping. What if that was Batman's voice? Duh. Duh. What if he started every sentence with duh? That's what dumb guys do, right? Like, he's super strong, but he's also

super dumb. Yeah, and then they discover that his secret identity is Moose from Archie. Duh. Yeah, so that was that's right. I can't believe that we missed out on those two nuggets. Yeah. That would have been enough for me. I would have left. Yeah, well, so that was, that's right. I can't believe that we missed out on those two, two nuggets. Yeah.

That would have been enough for me. I would have left. Yeah, well, we did. Yeah, that's right. Um, yeah, so whenever that episode is released, check it out. It's the, it will be the live from MaxFunCon episode with Mr. Hari Kondabolu. Yeah. Did I pronounce that right?

Yeah, Kondabolu. Um, and, uh, yeah. And then we got out of New York with about, our flight was at 6.30 and they started canceling flights at 8 o'clock, so we got out with 90 minutes to spare. Yeah. We were, yeah, skin of our teeth. Yeah. And yeah, thank you to the friendly folks at Alaska Airlines.

Yes. And thanks to everyone who came and said hello to us at MaxFunCon. Yeah. Alaska Airlines. Yes. And thanks to everyone who came and said hello to us at MaxFunCon. Yeah. A very nice listener named Lisa gave us a bunch of – she's from the Philadelphia area, and she gave us a bunch of Philadelphia cream cheese.

No. Philadelphia-themed food, like Tasty Cakes and these Utz crab chips that were pretty tasty. And some orange Tic Tacs, which she, for some reason, didn't think we had in Canada. Yeah, I could see that. Orange Tic Tacs, I wonder if they have them elsewhere. I feel like I should carry some with me at all times. I think they're everywhere. You think they're in Lithuania?

I don't know, man. Ah, yeah, yeah. Man, I'm going to go in Lithuania? I don't know, man. Ah, yeah, yeah. Man, I'm going to go to Lithuania. Fine. So, yeah, that's basically what we've been up to. Well, me, what I've been up to. Yeah. How about you?

What have I been up to? Well, the other day I was going down to meet you at the CBC Studios. Oh, yeah. And I got on a bus. And ever since I got back from New York, I've had three separate incidents where there was somebody who obviously needed help on transit. And I was staggered by how good people are at ignoring something like that.

Yeah, we're awesome. Yeah, we're awesome. Yeah, we're quite a... I think we're probably one of the only species. Us and water buffalo, I think, are the two that can ignore friends in need. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I think you're wrong about that. I think a lot of animals are able to leave the slowest member of the pack. Oh, that's true.

Yeah. Almost intentionally so. Yeah, to sort of feed the predator. But how many of those animals ride public transit? Seeing eye dogs? Just us and water buffalo. Yeah. I see a lot of animals on buses.

Yeah, I think, anyway, there was a lady who came on and she was shaped like a lowercase r, right? Like that's... What font? You know, not a Helvetica, but like something... What would be a real scraggly font? Sure.

Comic Sans. Yeah, but not fun. Decrepit Sans. Yeah. So she was getting on the bus, and she was carrying these giant bags of KFC. Okay. bus and she was carrying these giant bags of uh kfc okay and uh and then when she was getting off the bus i was like oh this is taking forever and it's really it was really hard to watch so i asked her like oh can i help you get to wherever you're going i thought she was just going to the

next bus stop but she was like gonna go into the mall and buy a lottery ticket so i ended up walking with her and uh and i said hey I can carry those bags for you. And she's like, oh, thank you. And then she gave them to me. And literally, I thought I was going to throw my back out. They were so heavy. And it was just chicken? No, I asked her.

I was like, what is in here? And she said, oh, those are all French fries. And she buys them once a month and lays them out so they dry. She eats them over the course of a month. And when she said that, I was like, why does that not seem like a bad idea to me? That should seem like a worse idea. I was going to ask why all those French fries are in the kitchen, but I thought... Yeah.

I dehydrate them in my food dehydrator i have fried jerky that's basically it she eats fried jerky does she oh i'm imagining her apartment is just clothes lines with those clothes pins and a fry on each clothes pin and then some of them are like dressed up characters, like a little puppet theater. Just me and my fries. So, yeah. So I walked around with her for like half an hour. Got her errands done. And then at the end she tried to give me a pamphlet about Jesus.

And I was like, I mean, you know, it's great that you found a thing. Maybe you're not the poster child for... Maybe just keep the flyers for your own. Just enjoy them. Yeah, maybe the guy who's being the nicest guy in the world right now doesn't need to learn about

Jesus. That's the thing though is that the flyers are actually made out of dehydrated flyers. Yeah, she's like, why do you lick one of those flyers? Here's a flyer. Here's a flyer and some dipping sauce. Anyways, yeah, dehydrated

fries. These are strategies that you can use as you get older. When you were talking about a woman with bags of KFC on the bus, it reminded with uh uh bags of kfc on the bus it reminded me of the best halloween costume i saw on the bus oh uh it was a guy dressed as uh former uh guns and roses guitarist buckethead oh yeah if you don't remember buckethead wore like a uh just like a blank mask yeah uh. A white mask and a bucket,

a KFC bucket on his head. Yeah, like a hat. Yeah. And this guy on the bus kept knocking it, like it was too tall for the bucket. It kept getting knocked off on all the bars that you hold on to. And like the, oh, it was great.

And the mask didn't fit him properly, so it would get knocked off and he didn't know where to find it on the ground. He couldn't see. Oh, he was great. And the mask didn't fit him properly, so it would get knocked off, and he didn't know where to find it on the ground. He couldn't see. Oh, he was the greatest. Did Buckethead also wear, like, a rain slicker or something like that? Maybe. It seemed like he wore, like, a yellow jumpsuit or something plastic-y.

Yeah, sure. He made a lot of questionable fashion choices. What came first? Was it the name or or the bucket on bucket head's head like they're like you're like what are you gonna name yourself he's like well i have this bucket on my head what are you gonna name yourself bucket head why i don't know yet it came to me in a dream yeah um or his name is just like devin bucket head yeah yeah yeah and then he's like i'm tired of fighting this.

I'm going to put a bucket on my head. It's an Ellis Island thing. Yeah. What does your last name mean? Baumgartner. Baumgartner. I'm just going to call you Buckethead. Just like the really jerky Ellis Island guy.

It's just like, well, your name's Four Eyes from now on. Yeah. And your name is Stop hitting yourself the bullies at ella's island oh lordy well do you want to move on to overheard why not overheard now it's time for a segment called overheards uh, what I love about Overheards is the way that it sort of you walk around, you hear things, it sort of puts you in tune with the world around you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He launched, like, a $100 million lawsuit against Gawker and Bubble the Love Sponge. Okay. He has settled out of court with Bubble the Love Sponge. What did he expect from Gawker? It's in the name. Yeah, yeah, it's true. They're not ignorer.

And Gawker is fighting the charge and has also launched a countersuit. And he's not gonna win but i guess he must have collected some money from bubba the love sponge or maybe he got a guarantee that he's like hey look if you drop the charges i'll let you fuck my wife and i promise not to record it did we not just mention that last episode that was was probably the arrangement. Oh, maybe. The thing that I know that we talked about in the last episode is he just opened his Hulk Hogan's Beach Shop one day before the hurricane. That was a live episode, yeah.

Now, this is the other thing, is that there is reportedly other videos of Heather... The Love Sponge. Heather Mrs. The Love Sponge. Love Sponge dash Williamson.

Heather Clem is her name, with famous athletes. Oh. Apparently, there's a video that exists featuring Deion Sanders. Okay. One for... Neon Deion. One featuring... Showtime? Show One for... Neon Dion. One featuring... Showtime?

Showtime? Was that a showtime? Showtime, yeah. And he was... Wasn't he like a regular guest or a commentator or something? Dion Sanders? Or was he in a commercial for something?

Yeah, he was like Bo Jackson. He played... Two sports. Two sports. Oh, that's what it is. Baseball and football. And is still a commentator for NFL. Yeah.

Wow. And for giant necktie knots. Yeah. He's a big proponent. Yeah. Warren Sapp is another one. A football man. And a baseball player, Aubrey Huff.

Huffy. Yeah. And apparently there's two others that haven't been disclosed yet. Some famous broadcaster and some other... They probably couldn't tell like, it was maybe like a hockey goalie and he was wearing a mask the whole time. Yeah. Or a luchador.

Well, they really cornered the market on athlete, hidden athlete sex tapes. Yeah. With a man's wife. With the same woman. Yeah, he had the... He probably must have the Guinness World Record. Banged most celebrities on tape. Yeah, and didn't tell them about it.

Well, who else could it be? There's maybe Kim Kardashian. She's probably had sex with him. Probably Coco. I don't know. Coco's a one guy lady. Coco's a classy lady. I guess Ice-T doesn't really count as an athlete.

Well, and Ray J doesn't count as a celebrity. Hi-yo! But there's probably a Kanye West sex tape, for all intents and purposes, right? Just him and himself. Yeah. Him and somebody wearing a Kanye West mask. Listening to his own album.

Just two guys in cardigans having fun. So that's Hulk Hogan? That is Hulk Hogan news. That takes us back to celebrity birthdays These are the birthdays for November 6th These are celebrity Blurt days

So feel free to blurt out the first word That comes to your mind When I say Happy 24th birthday to actress Emma Stone A One more time A pale

Easy A Pale skin stone. A. One more time. A. Pale. A. Pale. Easy A. Yeah. Pale skin. Yeah. Yeah.

Happy 40th birthday to supermodel Rebecca Romaine Stamos O'Connell. Oh, chain link bikini. Chain like bikini? Chain link bikini? Didn't she wear a chain link bikini? In a swimsuit issue? I feel like cover of Sports Illustrated. Now, so chain link, in my mind, is a fence. Chain link bikini would cover nothing.

Yeah. Good point. More of a chain mail, like a medieval bikini. Yeah, like a sexy knight. Yeah. I think Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Yeah, very difficult to be by the seaside because of the rust. Yeah, sure.

And the pinching. Surely there's a lot of pinching. A very pinchy garment. Happy birthday to Movember spokesman Ethan Hawke. Gattaca. Gattaca. You're both right.

Those are both things. He's 42 today Happy 46th birthday to Peter DeLuise Dom brother Dom son Did you say dum dum? I said dum DeLuise

Oh I thought you said dum dum What a dum dum 150th birthday to the great kazoo Dum dum And, 150th birthday to the great kazoo. Yeah, dum-dum. And happy 66th birthday to Sally Field. Really? Oh, punchline. Steel Magnolias.

Oh, pretty good. I think it was another podcast I was listening to where they said that she and Tom Hanks played lovers and mother and son. Yeah. Separate movies. I also watched, just recently, there was a clip of Tom Hanks online doing stand-up, preparing for his role in Punchline. And the bit that he did was actually quite funny. It was about the Sylvester Stallone movie, Over the Top.

Huh. And it hadn't come out yet, and he described exactly what the plot would be and how the climactic scene would play out and then when you watch it you're like, well, exactly. He's very charming, that Tom Hanks. It's funny to watch a guy who just trying

stand-up for a role is as good as most of the stand-up that existed at the time. He's easily as funny as whatever. But he would have had the one thing that most starting out stand-ups don't have, which is charisma. Yeah.

He would have at least been a likable, agreeable person. Yeah. Yeah. And he was already famous. Right. He was already famous. That buys you a solid five minutes. Yeah, I think people already...

I think people maybe already... You know, in the 80s, people just thought everyone did stand-up. If you were already famous. Oh, yeah, he does stand-up. Didn't David Duchovny, he did stand-up at some point. Oh, yeah, he did red shoe diaries stand-up. Red letters.

Or diary entries. I found this weird diary on the street. Come on, come on. Oh, Lordy. Okay, now on to overheards for real this time okay um we'd like to start with the guest and you are a guest jayden so if you would okay uh well i have i have a one's kind of dumb i have another one i don't know if they're one's just a thing sell it that i think uh i didn't probably falls under the like overseen uh and it was i was driving on the highway uh uh near a beach

uh this summer and i was driving behind an suv and on top of the suv were two kayaks like on a rack and their uh vanity license plate was two kayak a little on the nose, don't you think? I saw a vanity license plate today, and it was the letters F-G-M-A-N. Fig Man. Field Goal Man. Field Goal Man. Was Paul McCallum of the BC Lions? Field Good Man.

It was, I can't think of a famous kicker. David Ridgway. You're thinking of Canadian ones. Yeah. Who are the, you know what? Who are the all-time great American kickers? Yeah. At least two of them have had sex with Heather Clayton.

Yeah. Those are the two that haven't been released. Yeah. Because they, no one's ever heard of that. Oh, I can think of Canadian ones. Louis Pesaglia. Pesaglia. Paul Osbaldiston.

Mm-hmm. Luca Congi. Mm-hmm. Tony Miola. Wow, good work. He was a New York Jet for a cup of coffee. Oh, wow. He was the Team USA soccer goalie,

and so they gave him a tryout as the place kicker for the New York Jets. And they were like, whoops. We did it again. It's a different thing. Different shape ball. So you said you had two? Yeah, I think I have another one. All right.

Do you want to go around and then come back? Whatever the host's choice. Sure. Let's go around. Mine is from our trip to New York City. To pre-Sandy New York City. And we were in... Disappointingly, we spent a lot of time in Times Square.

Yeah. Well, not disappointingly for me. I loved every second of it. Well, it's not that we spent so much time there. It was that... We ended up walking through it. We walked through it a lot. And while we were there, we were like,

we might as well check out this M&M store one more time. Is it like a Marshall Mathers store? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the M&M brand. You can buy a sweater with vomit on it. Yeah, you can buy cans of spaghetti. Yeah, mom's spaghetti. Keys to unlock a trunk.

Yeah, you can buy cans of spaghetti. Yeah, mom's spaghetti. Keys to unlock a trunk. So we were in Times Square, and we were crossing a street, and it was just jam-packed, and it was going so slowly. And there was, like, there's people trying to hand you stuff. There's street entertainers. It's not the place to be if you're in a hurry. And there was a local guy there who was clearly in a hurry,

and I just overheard him say, what is this, a tourist area? I guess he may not have been that local. What is this, Grand Central something? Oh, Lordy. My overheard comes courtesy of being in a diner um and i walked in on i guess the the punchline of an anecdote okay and uh it was a lady talking to her friend they were in a booth and this was all i got was the punchline was she said and i said to, do you mean a library? Pretty great.

Yeah. The beginning of that was she works at a bookstore. Yeah. And a guy said, hey, can I rent some books? Yeah. And he said, no, we don't do that here. And then he said, where does that exist? And then she said, get out of my store.

Yeah. But the way she tells it, she embellishes it. So she had this great line about a library yeah do you mean a library or maybe he was like hey i'm looking for the library and she was like do you mean yeah um and now you had another one uh yeah this this actually happened on halloween the. Anything can happen on Halloween. That was my ghost impression. It was very early on Halloween, like about 7 a.m., and I went to my local coffee shop. And there's an old man who's there every day, and he's like quite a well-to-do businessman.

And he just sits at the same table every morning, and he's having a cup of coffee and waves to everybody as they come in. So he's all dressed up like he's in, like, regalia. And, uh, never mind. Crowns. Go capes. Yeah, he's wearing his, uh, whatever a navy guy wears to a wedding. I think it's a chainmail bikini. A sword. Anyway, he was sitting there and he was wearing, he's sitting with a friend of his.

And I didn't catch what they were talking about. I just caught his reaction. But out of context, it was pretty great. Because he's wearing like a little, like a Halloween headband that had like two little pumpkin dealy bobs. Like, you know, the little things that like bounce around in the air. Like Martian. Yeah. That had two little pumpkins.

And he had put it on, I think, so that people would like laugh when they came in and he was just sitting at the table just staring off into space and out of context he just goes i don't fucking know and so i just like he seemed like he was like um like a herman cartoon come to life like an old man just like uh these them's the breaks yeah what was herman herman was like they were were they single panel yeah it was like a far side like single yeah but except they were like super dumpy old guys yeah oh and yeah old gross people the theme was exasperation yeah the theme was waiting to die yeah yeah um the theme was two kayaksaks i uh full disclosure my grandparents had like two or three herman books and i read all of them oh yeah many times when you're staying at someone

else's house and uh your bedtime is seven o'clock there's nothing you can do but read like old old herman find the the best thing in the room. Yeah, no, it's true. Herman was like... Is it still around, probably? No, I don't think so. All of the characters died. It actually was written over a huge story arc. And then this character will fail.

It was autobiographical. It was all of the cartoonist friends. What are the big Sunday comics sunday comics uh reveals wasn't there like did someone come out of the closet in for better or for worse oh i think for better or for worse for sure dealt with a domestic violence oh well they they had a dog die and then didn't they reboot at one point and start like back in 1980 again yeah they did where it can never all of them were set up comedians yeah it did because it got out it got uh it got really unruly it got kind of like just too sad yeah i mean not that for better or for worse was ever funny but it was so unfunny

it was sad yeah then there was also um there was a definitely a character in uh i want to say hank mcnamara but that's not what it's called tank mctan but it was the same person who did that funky winker bean okay that's something yeah one of those characters got aids okay i think i'm pretty sure that like the the main character's girlfriend got a white maybe that was it anyway uh i think you're thinking of odi from garfield oh yeah yeah that's right they're also contracted there was uh yeah normal came out as uh uh transgender yeah which i think we all knew yeah well and i think we k Kathy get married at one point? And that was big news because she was perennially, like, guys were like, I could never get her. Yeah, she was a real looker.

Yeah, no, Kathy, well, Kathy ended, right? Yeah. And I think you're right. I think she did. She got married. And then, like, Archie and what's her name? Veronica? Supposedly, yeah, they're married, right're married right that was like a big bombshell wasn't it they got engaged but then

they broke it off and archie and betty got married i think that they got married but then they put an ad on craigslist for like a third and betty answered yeah she didn't know that it was them and then all three of them went back to high school in the fall. Yeah, yeah. And then they brought Dilt and watched while they all had sex. Was anyone in either of your high schools married? In high school? Yeah, that's what I'm asking. Because you said Archie got married and then went back to high school. I know you were joking, but I was like, is that a thing?

Does that happen there was a girl who uh i went to high school with who actually lived on the same little uh like little bay that my parents live on that got married like three months after high school to someone who didn't go to our high school and who i don't think she was dating oh in high school like i went i remember graduating high school and went away for the summer and when when I came back in September, my parents were like, do you know that the girl down the street got married last week? Oh, to who? Yeah. Someone.

No one we've never heard of. Out of town. Yeah. It was the worst presence ever at a wedding because it was a bunch of 19-year-olds showing up. Yeah. They're all broke. Yeah. I brought you a beer.

I brought you these DVDs I stole from Blockbuster. Oh, there was no DVDs yet. Oh, man. Well, we also have overheards that have been sent to us by listeners like you. If you want to send an overheard to us, you can do so by sending it in to stopPodcastYourself at gmail.com. This first one comes from A in Ontario. So there's no name. Sort of. I am a professor at a university. We draw a pretty smart crowd here on the podcast.

You're professors. Yeah, professors. Doctors. Ariadites. I'm a professor at a university in southern Ontario, and I was leading a seminar in which students were supposed to be debating an issue in teams. One student kept making suggestions that actually undercut his own team's argument. When asked which side he was on, the student replied, I'm neutral. I'm like Sweden over here. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good.

A lot of people mix those up. Sweden and Switzerland. Sweden and the gear neutral. Yeah, no, Sweden and Switzerland. Abby grew up in Switzerland and her aunt lives in Sweden and that only confuses things.

Anyway, look. My family tree is a conundrum. Yeah, I'm familiar with these countries. They're not the same. They're pretty similar. Yeah. What would be the defining difference? There are different land masses

with different people. Fair enough. This one comes from James from Regina. What? Which I assume you know him. I do. This guy works at a bookstore. Can you guess his name?

I totally know who it is. You don't know who it is. You totally know who it is. This is, so he's working at a bookstore. There was somebody typing in at the computer looking for, you know, a particular type of book. In the library. When I

asked if he needed help, he said, no thanks, I'm great. And he walked away with a huge smile on his face. As he was walking away, I peeked at the screen in the search bar. He had just typed gay books. to the screen in the search bar he had just typed gay books. Pretty good.

I found them. There's a whole section. That's amazing. I assume he was looking for the poetry section. Hey-o! Hey-o! Yeah. Whenever I'm in a bookstore that has a computer that you can

search like what uh section is this book i'm looking for and i always i'm very paranoid about people seeing what kind of book i'm into yeah because it's usually uh gay books yeah it's usually gays for dummies yeah um finally this one comes from Angelo in Montreal. The other night, my three-year-old daughter was insisting that I make up stories for her. So I went with the classic trope of a kid having a party and too many people showing up. Either of you familiar with this trope? Oh, it's a classic trope. Of the tropes.

It is most classic. I've never heard of it before. It's Tropicola classic. Of the tropes. It is most classic. I've never heard it before. It's Tropicola Classic. So when I got to the part where 100 people showed up to the party, I asked my daughter, what do you think she did with all those people?

Her enthusiastic response? Kill them! No! That's actually the classic ending To the classic trope They always die That is a great Why would she throw a party If she was just going to kill the people

If you threw a party Invited everyone you knew You would see That I would murder you The card attached would say You just got murdered In addition to overheards that are written in, we also accept phone calls. If you want to call us, our number is 206-339-8328.

Hi, Graham and Dave. I got two overheards from work for you. This is Ryan from Tampa. The first one is I was working the dining room and over the headset, I hear the dang big signal for a car approaching the drive-thru and immediately I hear

shut up kids. I thought that was funny. And the other one was the Wendy's I was working at was closing down and some dude ordered a Frosty but we had shut them down so my manager says oh no we're out of frosties forever and the dude's like oh you okay you guys okay how does it feel in there is it sad yeah do you need a hug oh you guys are on frosties forever you guys must be

pretty bummed out about it you guys want to talk about it? Oh, um, yeah Frosties is a, was that you I was talking about? No, I was talking about something, it's like oil, right? It's the frosties that are oil, or lizards that are oil? Oh, it's gotta be frosties Yeah, like if you put it in a fridge It won't, uh, freeze Yeah, they both will freeze
