Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 292 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name's Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who's just so excited about Halloween, Mr. Dave Shumka. Yeah, I'm... You're gonna go as future Funky Gandhi.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Yeah, future Funky Gandhi. A duck, a ref, a duck that's also a ref. Are you familiar with these Value Village commercials? No. Oh, they're great. They use mclemore's uh tag popper yeah they're really capitalizing on the thrift store um this is their time yeah yeah this is this is the renaissance and mclemore is their leonardo daci. This is where that chain is from. This is why this is cool. I got this from like an Ace Hardware store.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Like you just put two of these shitty things together. Graham, where's your chain from? Which one? I don't have one. What? Wait, that's from a hardware store? Yeah, man. What are they supposed to be used for?
Starting point is 00:01:27 I don't know. What's the metal? I think they might be a keychain. Hmm. Or a whistle. It could be for a whistle? For a whistle. For a whistle on the work site?
Starting point is 00:01:35 A whistle holder. Isn't this a little whistle holder? I don't know. I don't know about it. How fancy. It'd be a flashy whistle holder. Yeah. The gentleman who's talking about his whistle holder? I don't know. I don't know about it. How fancy. It'd be a flashy whistle holder. Yeah. The gentleman who's talking about his whistle holder is our guest today.
Starting point is 00:01:51 First time guest here on the podcast. Very funny comedian. Originally from California. Yes. Now make your home here in Vancouver. Yes. Mr. Dino Archie is our guest. Hello.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Welcome. Hello, whistle holder. Yeah, that's because now I'm looking at this chain that you're wearing, and it doesn't look like something that came from a hardware store. It looks like a real chain. It's weird. My buddy, my roommate, he kind of put it on me like I had just signed with Rockefeller. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:02:24 Like he put it around you. Yeah, he donned it on me. And when he put it on me, I instantly became fly. I felt fly. Like I'm like, oh, I'm fly now. I'm fly guy.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yeah. Pretty much. You're gonna fly now. I'm a fly. I became a fly. And I did a show with it. I've been doing shows with it on. Why were you?
Starting point is 00:02:43 Okay, wait. Let's get to know us. Let's get to know us. Get to know us. And now here, why were you and a friend at Ace Hardware? Did this happen at Ace Hardware or did he bring it home for you? He got it from Ace Hardware.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I think he went to the States, got it. I think he got it for me as a kid. When Canadians go to the States, what we like to do... I think this friend wants to move it to the States, got it. Yeah, I think he got it for me as a kid. When Canadians go to the States, what we like to do... I think this friend wants to move it to the next level. Growing up as a kid, I would see commercials for things that were American things, like, we can't get cookie crisp here. We don't have Ace Hardware here.
Starting point is 00:03:19 And so every time when I was a kid, we went to the States, I'd be like, we gotta go to Ace Hardware. We gotta go buy some nails. But you guys' chip selection, the flavors, they don't have that in the States. At Ace Hardware? Yeah. Oh, you mean just in general? In general.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Why? What do we got? You guys got... Ketchup. Just ketchup. You got bacon. I feel like America would have honed in on that. We don't.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Lays didn't do that. Weird. You guys have bacon and syrup or some shit like that. Yeah, bacon and syrup. Oh, well, there is a contest. It was delicious. Or there has been. I don't know if it's still on. Martin Short does those TV commercials and radio commercials for three new flavors of Lay's that were submitted by Lay's fans.
Starting point is 00:04:06 By, like like chip fans. And one was like the maple salmon. And they're like distinctly Canadian. To that region or to that? They're just like Canadian. Like poutine. Yeah. We're looking for a new Canadian flavor. Well, now poutine chip, that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Yep. That in my mind tastes delicious. Gravy, cheese. Yeah. Yeah. That's a- One was pierogi platter. That sounds good my mind, tastes delicious. Gravy, cheese. Yeah, yeah. One was pierogi platter. That sounds good. Why not? Yep. Has there ever been a sweet chip?
Starting point is 00:04:31 Like a blueberry chip? Or a... Like a honey chip? Honey, yeah. I don't think so. I mean, barbecue's kind of sweet. Yeah, barbecue is sweet. Honey brown sugar. I feel like America's got a pretty good selection of chips. And they've got talent.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Oh, yeah. Canada also had talent. For one season. For Capita, though, you guys got some stuff. Yeah. Chip-wise. Chip-wise for Capita. We got more chips.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yeah, the amount of people you have here, you don't need. You're so innovative with your flavors. It's true. We need all the flavors you guys have, you know, for us and everything we already have. I feel like that's because we have the parliamentary system. And you have, what is the American system? Totalitarian. Totalitarian system.
Starting point is 00:05:24 That's it. Yeah. That's it. Okay. That's it. Okay. So you're getting, someone's putting a chain on you. Is that why Graham and I have never been able to pull off chains is because we've bought them for ourselves. No one's put them on us.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. Yeah. Like you have to be bequeathed a chain. Yes. Yes. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:05:41 That really, now the math really makes sense. Right. Yeah. I'm 30. I didn't, you know what I mean? You don't just all of a sudden pop up with a chain. Yeah. That makes sense. That really, now the math really makes sense. Right, yeah. I'm 30. I didn't, you know what I mean? You don't just all of a sudden pop up with a chain. Yeah. Or do you?
Starting point is 00:05:50 I feel like the only time, like, you know, like kids would get a chain if they were in the church and they would go to confirmation. You'd get a chain for that. Okay. If you're in like an old timey rumble gang where you would use a chain and you're in your off time, you would wear it. That's right. I was nine. My birthday. I just turned nine.
Starting point is 00:06:15 I was in Sacramento. My aunt's boyfriend, dope cat. He's a Filipino dude. And I told him it's my birthday. And he goes, I got something for you. We went to his trunk. Drove you around for a couple hours. I was down for any adventure then.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I was an easy sell. Easy sell. I was the youngest of so many kids. I had stepbrothers, too. How many kids? Eight. Five. I was going to of so many kids. Like, I had stepbrothers, too, so I was the youngest. How many kids? Eight. Five. Like, I was going to say five real.
Starting point is 00:06:48 And then the others don't count. They're three robots. Just don't count. They're just... So, five real, and then three step. Okay. Wow. Still, though, five.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Even just five. Five. It's crazy. Crazy. Plus three more. Plus you add three in there and then i'm the youngest boy have a younger sister so right shit kind of just rolls downhill yeah and it was still good but it's just like oh man anybody any adult that wants to take me anywhere let's go
Starting point is 00:07:16 yeah yeah oh okay just like any attention is good yeah i don't know you let's do it i'm down for a ride he drove me around sacramento. Down to the parks and stuff. My birthday is January 4th, so it was winter. It was foggy. Yeah. He was like, pop the trunk. It's weird that I'm not scared at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Thinking about this. Well, I trusted him, and he gives me a chain with a little metal stick on the end of it. It was like something you could swing and hurt yourself with. Oh, wow. As a gift. Oh, cool. And he was like, here you go. Yeah. Go fuck some shit up. But not something you could swing and hurt yourself with. Oh, wow. As a gift. Oh, cool. And he was like, here you go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Go fuck some shit up. But not something you could wear. No, I couldn't wear it. But I, yeah, if I wanted. I mean, you could probably wear it. If I was in The Wanderers, I would have had a good chance. From that thing you do? Of that fight, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:58 In that movie where they used to fight like that. Warriors? The Warriors. Nah, there's this movie called The Wanderers. Wanderers. Wanderers. The Wanderers? One Direction?
Starting point is 00:08:10 Is it the One Direction movie? It's 3D? Yeah. So he gave you like a mini weapon. Yeah. Oh, cool. And it was like, but it wasn't used though. I know, maybe it was used, but it was polished good.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So it wasn't like a, maybe some kind of like a Kung Fu type weapon. Wow. Cool. Yeah, it was used, but it was polished good, so it wasn't like oh yeah Maybe some like a kung fu type weapon Wow cool. It was cool. Yeah, because like I feel like I remember when somebody Do you still sit in the chair? Yeah. While he polishes it? You don't have to sit above him. Yeah. This is part of the experience. He's got some martial arts magazines for you to flip through while he polishes your nunchucks.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Polish these throwing stars as well. My flight is leaving in five minutes. While he polishes your nunchucks. Polish these throwing stars as well. I've got to... My flight is leaving in five minutes. So are you planning any revenge while you're in town? Like when I was a kid, I got... I feel like there was a lot of things that... They're toys to kids, but they're actually like started as weapons. Like a boomerang.
Starting point is 00:09:27 That's a weapon. Yeah. Hula hoop. Yo-yo. Yo-yo was a weapon. That's how yo-yo started out. Silly putty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:36 One of those like super sticky gummy hands. Oh, yeah. You slap someone right in the eye. You always go for the eye. That's a funny one, though, too. Like to get that out of nowhere. Oh, yeah, you slap someone right in the eye. You always go for the eye. That's a funny one, though, too, like to get that out of nowhere. Oh, yeah. Or the... And it's covered in hair.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Yeah. It fell on the rug. So fast. Or the one with these, you know, like when it's New Year's and you blow that... Noisemaker thing? Yeah, and it kind of... Oh, the thing that rolls out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:02 That's a nice little... You could really get somebody in the eye. A safe zinger to hit them right in the face. And it's not harmful at all. It's just paper. It's like, yeah. And then you just get hit in the face. I'm going to do that this New Year's. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:15 You owe it to yourself. To hurt one of your friends. Do you have any outstanding vendettas? Did you ever have anything like a slingshot or anything like that? My friend had a potato gun when we were kids. You know what that is? I think so. Is it like the thing that the guy had in No Country for Old Men?
Starting point is 00:10:36 Yeah. Basically. Like, that sounds hell of a day. It's totally... Potatoes. Like, it's like a... It doesn't look like a gun. It's like something that you can make in shop class, and it's like a piece of plastic, and
Starting point is 00:10:50 like, you create a vacuum, and then you pop, you kind of like hit it on the end, and it fires like a chunk of potato really, really hard and fast, and like, it's great. Yeah. Like, you can make it yourself. I had a coffee maker like that. I'm not lying. Like you can make it yourself. I had a coffee maker like that. I'm not lying. When you were a kid? That same guy gave you a French press?
Starting point is 00:11:11 He gave me a French press. He just shows up with just a new weird thing every year. Yeah. Here's a robe I found. They're all weapons. You can use them all as weapons. Yeah. He was always like, you know, when they know what you're ready for, he's like, I've been
Starting point is 00:11:28 holding all these things, and I might say a certain thing. He goes, you're ready for the French press now. Yeah. I have 10 items. If you pick the right one, you're the dolly. That would be a good, like, reality show. You know how on, like, cooking shows, they give them these weird ingredients? They should do, like, a MacGyver style weapon off
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yeah Yeah to get out of this Well you gotta ratchet up the stick there's only so much air and then Nick Lachey shows up for a very special episode. Dream date. If I was in danger of getting killed or hunted, I would be like, I promise I'll hold my breath. I'm not going to use any of the air, guys. If you were trapped in a vault, how fast
Starting point is 00:12:21 would you have to have the conversation about what corner is going to be like the toilet corner i feel like that's never discussed in those those type of situations when you see them in movies but that would be the first conversation i want to have like let's not all just go to the different four corners and create four toilet corners yeah let's make one there's eight corners because there's the upper corners as well yeah absolutely yeah you gotta maximize all the space yeah yeah yeah but the also the conversation because you're not gonna just go straight you're gonna hold it as long as you can but who's the first guy to fart yeah oh yeah probably probably that asshole Dan
Starting point is 00:13:12 But even in that case I think it will still be funny mm-hmm Yeah, even when you're like we're all gonna die. Well, you just let you know, you know, he's like, yeah, that's funny I feel like yeah, like if there's always in those situations where it's like a bunch of people locked in a bank vault I'm right in a movie The person there's always somebody who's like leave bunch of people locked in a bank vault, right? In a movie. The person, there's always somebody who's like, leave everybody alone. Take me as a hostage. I feel like that same attitude is the guy who farts first. He's like, I'm gonna just break this
Starting point is 00:13:34 wide open so everybody feels comfortable. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a hero, actually. That's pretty much what you're saying. Yeah, he's a hero. He's not a jerk. Yeah, well, somebody has to do it. You're right, because otherwise it's just like so much tension. Right, your stomach's like, yeah, I'm just gonna, yeah, he's a hero. He's not a jerk. Yeah, we're all holding it in. Yeah, well, somebody has to do it. You're right, because otherwise it's just like so much tension. Right, your stomach's like, yeah, and then you go, hey, I'm just going to do this, guys. There's only so much air.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Right. And then now you've poisoned it. Yeah. Oh, yeah, true. And it's also like, you just got to be like, everything that happens in this vault stays in this vault. All right? So when stuff gets weird. When we get out and the news reporters are like,
Starting point is 00:14:05 what happened? Well, this guy farted. You know who farted first? The dead guy. I think that's what that movie Life of Pi was about. Do you? The metaphor.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I think at the end of all of it, it was just about... Oh, the fart of the tiger. Yeah, remember? You didn't... At the end, how he was like, was it really that? Was it really about this? Was it really that?
Starting point is 00:14:30 Or was it about that? Yeah, right? That's all I watched on that movie. And me and my buddy saw it, and we got kind of stoned before it ended. You know, you forget when the previews went on. We just forgot what movie we had signed up for. Because so much time felt like it in the lab. And you don't know whether it's starting or this is another preview you're watching?
Starting point is 00:14:57 We don't. And yeah. Not necessarily because you're stoned. Yeah, exactly. You just forget all these little short movies. Because the movies are so bad, the trailer is just awesome. You're like, this is the best of.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Yeah, exactly. You're like, yeah, now I want to see that thing instead of whatever the fucking thing I'm in. Yeah, or if you're like me, I'm like, oh, I know that movie's probably not going to be that good, but they show me the best stuff. I was like, a nice little short movie.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Thanks. Don't got to be that good, but they showed me the best stuff. Yeah. I was like, a nice little short movie. Thanks. Yeah. Don't got to see that. And then they do that again and again. And Life of Pi was packaged with those Disney movies. So everything was animated, 3D. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:40 And it was 3D, too. And it didn't have to be 3D. So I'm watching it. Life of Pi didn't? I thought it did. Yeah. I think it helped. I didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Oh, you gotta. Go back in time. See it in 3D. Yeah, that's the thing. Now that it's not in theaters, do I have to see it? Because I know people who didn't see Avatar, and I was like, oh, don't bother. If you didn't see it in the theater, there's no good plot. It's not fun to watch.
Starting point is 00:16:08 The characters aren't good. It's fun to, like, make fun of. Yeah, I guess that'd be kind of fun. Yeah. But that's always fun. That's every movie. The best part of Life of Pi was the beginning, when they introduced the zoo. You remember that scene?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Yes. It's right at the beginning, and they have these. I still didn't understand why it was 3d but you liked it fair yes thank you i give you that this is a real give and take um but so we're there and then we're like okay now this is the movie and it's they show this they show this zoo type you you know, and there's a narration and there's a zoo and they got all these little birds walk by the screen and then they show this monkey comes out of nowhere and he's in front of the screen and his nose looks like a dick. And we lost. I mean, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:17:00 We're like, what movie is this? This monkey has a dick nose. This is in 3D. This is hilarious. We did something right. We're at the greatest movie ever. Yeah, because it's in 3D, so it's like a nose dick is in your face. And you got the glasses.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I was like, this movie's going to be dope. Yeah, yeah. This is great. This movie's going to be insane. What is this i haven't seen i don't think like maybe when i was a teenager i might have went and saw a movie after smoking pot but i don't i haven't done that because i feel like i would really just fall asleep halfway through like if it was a warm theater and it was like kind of a you know a movie where it's like
Starting point is 00:17:42 kind of boring without being high well i would just yeah have you been to a movie where it's kind of boring without being high. I would just lose interest. Have you been to a movie theater that now lets you drink alcohol? No. That seems like a bad combo. Yeah, I don't know. The Rio Theater on Broadway does now. And it seems like since they fought for that legislation, and it seems that ever since that happened, it seems a little grosser. Well, I feel like, isn't there, okay, there's a chain in the States called the Drafthouse.
Starting point is 00:18:10 And that's like, you're sitting at tables or kind of benches, and it's kind of like a bar atmosphere, but they show movies. And so like, you can have dinner and watch a movie. That kind of, I can see that. That makes sense. But if you're just drinking beer and it's just in a theater setting? Are you sitting in a, like, can you, I would like to have two options. Like, when I'm done my meal, I want to go lie down. I want to sit on a toilet.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah. Then you're just renting an apartment for a day. Yeah. Yeah. You can just start reading a book. Yeah. You're like, are there any any outlets what's the wi-fi code picture in picture yeah you just turn everything has to be everything else you know what i mean like everything has to do like eight things you can't just do the one thing and just do the one thing yeah like i just trying to watch a movie on my computer the other night.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I think I got ten minutes in before I started on Twitter and kind of listening to the movie. Oh, I do that all the time and then I go back. But I feel like I can't say I watched that movie because I missed probably about an hour of it. You can like watch things. They've made it so the audio on stuff works when you watch stuff at twice the speed. So you can watch something, or even listen to a podcast at, like, twice the speed of regular, and then compress
Starting point is 00:19:36 the movie down to 45 minutes. Which is like an episode of Law & Order. What's the point in consuming someone else's piece of, I don't want to say art, what's the point in consuming something so, like,
Starting point is 00:19:53 give it to me fast, like, I got it now. And then, why? What do you need that for? And on your gross computer screen. Like, you're never going to get it clean. It's got weird dust and splotches on it. Yeah, exactly. Fingerprints.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Yeah, like, you guys ever get that where you do a show or something, and you're talking to people after the show, and they're like, who's some of the best comics you know? And then you don't even answer. Like, you go to Bill Burr or something. They go, yeah, Bill. They go, Luke. And then they'll name off ten guys. Yeah. And you go, all Burr or something they go yeah Bill they go loot they'll name off 10 guys
Starting point is 00:20:25 yeah and you go alright I don't got no one else and then they go no give me more cause I love you too and I'm like oh they're just like
Starting point is 00:20:32 I just want to consume more yeah yeah yeah I can see I can see it getting to a point where you're just like oh this is exhausting
Starting point is 00:20:40 creating content for people that you're not sure will they ever watch it like will they watch it on their phone or something yeah they just they'll consume it though yeah you know what i mean like before it was just kind of there was something cool about as as cool as it is to just do this what you guys been doing and put it out i guess with the stand-up it's like
Starting point is 00:21:00 you rock does it it goes on hbo and then it's like you gotta wait a while then it's on comedy central right you gotta wait a little while and see some more but everyone just yeah give me more names yeah yeah yeah give me i want to enjoy this illegally immediately yeah right from these rich communities it's like uh it's the culture of, like, probably of lists, right? Like, people like, love stuff in list form. So you're like, you like comedy, give me 10 comics. Like, I just want a list of comics to work through. You're right. Yeah, people like lists.
Starting point is 00:21:36 I've been seeing that on Facebook, where they share it, like, they go, 25 things that 21-year-olds need to not know. It's just like, okay, we gotta make this list. It's so confusing. You're like, what is this list I'm reading? 25 things that 21-year-olds need to not know before they die. Like, what it's like to be 24.
Starting point is 00:22:07 What it's like to be 24 what it's like to be 23 the um i don't yeah i also i worry about uh filmmakers who are making like these very like something like life of pie needs to be seen on a movie screen right like otherwise it's if you're just watching it on a tablet or whatever you're losing a lot on a kindle yeah yeah when you're watching it on your wristwatch on your what was the old uh uh the the like the early palm pilot that apple made oh what was that called the newton yeah you're sitting there watching life of by an eight bitch on your newton yeah like at what point do you just like uh i do i i go to writing this little spot in gastown there's this little book old books shop there mcleod's right get a little easy i like short stories every now and again yeah sure collection of Anton's check off I
Starting point is 00:23:10 want to be smart today yeah forget the but then like I'm I'm listening to a little bit of music never hurts and I'm like listening to like Jay-z's new album and I'm trying to read this book and I'm like, what the hell is he talking about? You know what I mean? Oh no, I'll have some stew. And I'm on three coffees and then I'm like, forget this CD, let's put this movie on and let's read this. And I just go, my life sucks.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I'm not paying attention to anything. And I'm just trying to text girls to kick it later on. paying attention to anything. I'm just trying to text girls to kick it later on. I'm just like, what? Do you think it all started with that Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon?
Starting point is 00:23:50 They sync up. So you could watch the two things at once? Yeah, you could listen to the album while watching Wizard of Oz. And then, like, I want it to get to the point
Starting point is 00:24:00 where, like, someone comes up with the perfect six things that sync up at the same time. Oh, yeah. So you're watching The Transporter 2. Yeah. You're listening to The New Con, Yale.
Starting point is 00:24:13 You're eating something out of Gordon Ramsay's New Cookbook. You're reading a weird article. You're reading a BuzzFeed list. Yeah, you're looking at the top 18 places Guy Fieri picked That will make you shit a bunch The place he plays That won't make you shit a lot

Have you ever, there's these movie theaters that they were experimenting with them for a while, and I don't think they ever caught with seats that would have... What were they called?
Starting point is 00:25:06 They were called thrill seats or something like that? Yeah, they rumbled and stuff. Yeah, and it would correspond with the action or whatever. That never caught because it's terrible. So expensive. And someone needs to program every movie. Yeah, you've got a projectionist and then just a chair guy. There's one guy holding a bunch of ropes that are shaking on his chair i picture that sounds so complex i picture like the scene in uh total recall like it seems like it's that big of an

I just don't know what I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:28:22 It's a boat on the house. A boat on a house. Weird. Bad combo. It's a boat on a house. I don't think that's it at all. It's a boat on a house. Just sits there.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Birds living in it. Don't tell the homeowners. But this is where you're staying. Staying up on the boat on top of the house we told you it was a boathouse yeah well I think I just thought it was the opposite of this
Starting point is 00:28:55 I was gonna be different a boathouse is something that like a character in a movie lives on it's like how do we make this guy interesting I don't know boathouse? yeah
Starting point is 00:29:03 or maybe he works in advertising. So you've been visiting here for years, and now you kind of come up here. Yeah, I started doing stand-up about six years ago in L.A. So I started there. And tough places to start. Tough places to start. Easy places to quit, tough places to start. Oh, yeah, tough places to start. Tough places to start. Easy places to quit, tough places to start. Oh, yeah, tough places to quit.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Oh, man. Tough places to quit. But, yeah, I went through that first year, though, and, yeah, kept doing it. And a couple years in, I was like, I need a change. And I came here on vacation, i've started doing a little i'd run into a couple canadian comics that would come to the improv or something right okay we get to chat like jason rouse and yeah yeah yeah ackland and different people and they were just telling me the scene up here was was like this is a good scene that not a lot of people know about. Barbecue, ketchup chips.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Yeah, yeah. You gotta see their selection of Pringles. It's out of this world. Once you pop. You don't even gotta finish. Exactly. Once you pop. Et cetera.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Right? Every slogan should just be cut off the second half of every slogan ever said. That means that you've created a great slogan if you can cut off the second half of it. If I say, just... Justice. Just do it! I know. You guys left me hanging there. Don't appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:30:39 You threw it at him. I was like, this is your alley-oop. You're gonna throw him the alley-oop. The assist pass. But that's not a very... Like, by that logic, just is... alley-oop. You're going to throw him the alley-oop. The assist pass. But that's not a very, like, by that logic, just isn't. Nah, it didn't work. Like, I knew what you were going for. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:52 See, but so it did kind of work. But only because when we started saying the first half of slogans, I went through as many as I could in my head. What are other... When you're here... Your family. Yeah. I don't know what that's for, though.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Olive Garden. Oh, I thought it was for, like, Holiday Inn. 800-588-2300. Empire. Oh, that's the insurance one. No, carpets. Yeah, carpet cleaning. But that's not a slogan.
Starting point is 00:31:20 It's just they sign their phone number. Be sure to honk. If you're horny. I'm not. For marital aids. Yeah. Honk when you drive by Vern Funk. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Do you have any of those? Like, from a local that you grew up with that are still, like, inhabiting your brain? Slogans for a thing that you'd never used you've never seen but still still in there yeah like there was a place in uh calgary i grew up pizza 73 still there yep and their phone number was 273-7373 pizza 73 yeah i don't i want to dig back but i think i just erased good for you I need to go back in there I feel like someone took a neural eyes yeah yeah you did the recall you're like take out those jingles yeah I need some room on my hard drive so I take out jingles take out my best friend's phone number from grade five um yeah uh yeah i'm trying to think of any
Starting point is 00:32:28 other other ones anyways i just don't like like say it's like like you can't you don't you can't score if you don't shoot might as well yeah yeah i want to rewrite those like you can't win if you don't play yeah well that's one of them. I didn't realize who had said it, and I looked it up. It was, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Do you know who said that? Wayne Gretzky? Yeah, for some reason I thought it was Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 00:32:56 But that would have been appropriate, right? Both guys. Yeah, those were... Or an assassin. Yeah, a lot of shots. Yeah, the jackal. That just sounds like an explanation for being selfish
Starting point is 00:33:09 oh yeah you went 0 for 100 you miss 100% of the shots you don't take sometimes you miss 100% of the shots you do take but no one can say that to him that's a pretty good quote though to have in kind of a wiki quote, like that quote followed by, sometimes you do miss 100%.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Some jerk. Maybe you suck. Yeah, you do miss 100% of the shots. That is true. You did. You took those shots. But yeah, it was like Donald Trump quoted that on Twitter, and I wanted those shots um but yeah it was like donald trump quoted that on twitter and i wanted to write back to him and be like that was a wayne gretzky you idiot but
Starting point is 00:33:50 then i was like oh maybe it was wayne gretzky he's not uh wayne gretzky not known as uh a wordsmith yeah like not you know he never said he wasn't muhammad ali yeah he wasn't Yogi Berra. He was, you know, well, yeah, Muhammad Ali, like, I feel like he sat down and wrote. Yeah. Like, he had phrases. Maybe he had writers. But he performed so good in Rift. Mm-hmm. His Rift, if he, yeah, he had writers that do Bundini, who Jamie Foxx played.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Yeah, Bundini. No, what's that? A guy that he hired who was, you know, I think he might have came up with the float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, rumble, young man, rumble. Yeah, he had a guy. Wow. Like how, like Paul Mooney was to Richard Pryor. Right. Bundini was to Muhammad Ali, just with the wordplay.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Just with the, like, patter. Yeah. I feel like it would be easier to do it for Muhammad Ali because he's not on stage for an hour every night. Yeah. Although that would be great. If he does crowd work and it doesn't go well. Well, how about I fight you? Get up here.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Dave, what's going on with you? Have you seen this? It's a new it's the Sylvester Stallone movie not the one that's out now the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger no the next one he's doing with Robert De Niro
Starting point is 00:35:15 yeah where they're both old boxers yeah that's what the Muhammad Ali thing reminded me of because in the trailer they're like they wanted to put these guys in a video game because they're like retired boxers. That seems to be the Sylvester Stallone way to get back into this. Yeah, isn't that what the Rocky 6 was? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Rocky Balboa was. The simulation's got people talking. Yeah, it's, I don't know. Like, would you... Like, if you could have... Because Robert De Niro's what? In the 60s? Late 60s, probably.
Starting point is 00:35:52 And, like, in real life, would you want to see two 60-year-old men? Yeah. Fuck. I would if they were in shape. Still, though, like, the brain is so precarious.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I mean, I don't really want to see that those like two real fighters but but that's what i mean is sylvester stallone is in as good a shape as a guy in his 60s like any guy in his 60s right i'm just saying do we want to see senior citizens fighting each other that's the way it's going with obamacare yeah thanks obamacare i think i've probably seen um like 10 times as many boxing matches in movies than like real ones yeah yeah that's true it's i think it's easier to dramatize boxing than it is to dramatize mma mma maybe not as easy to film make look good on screen. Boxing's really easy to make it look like, you know, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Yeah, it's really easy. Well, if you guys want to see real life throwdowns. I do. Obviously. I'm going to give you a sight. It's going to blow your fucking mind. All right. Are these triple X throwdowns?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Some are. Some. A titty pops out sometimes. Sometimes strippers. Is this Foxy Boxing? Yeah. Sometimes strippers just like, bitch, you stole my dollar. And then just boom.
Starting point is 00:37:13 It's part A. It's called World Star Hip Hop. World Star Hip Hop. How much hip hop happens? They. Or is it mostly fighting? It's mostly fighting. So it's like MTV is now

So the guys will tweet in this little, you know, they're in this neighborhood, and he comes to his house like, I heard you've been tweeting about me. He's like, I...
Starting point is 00:39:50 Turn on your camera. Yeah. Boink. Well, there was a... I watched a clip from years ago where the guys from the Insane Clown Posse were on Howard Stern, and they kind of were really sounding off about how tough they were. And a guy called up and he was like, you know, I think you guys are phony baloney,
Starting point is 00:40:11 and I'm going to come down to the station, and if I come down to the station, will you come out and fight me? And they're like, any time! If you showed up here, we would fight you so fast. And then the interview goes on, and then somebody pipes in like, we got a guy at the reception who wants to fight the Insane Club bossy. They were like, we're not going to come out there and fight. And he's like, this is exactly what you said you would do.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I asked if I showed up here, would you come out and fight me? You said yes, so I showed up here. Also, that receptionist must have been so torn. Do you have an appointment, sir? Well, sort of. Yeah, pretty much. That's exactly what I asked. They're expecting me.
Starting point is 00:40:53 And he goes, oh, wait. Yeah, he wasn't violent about it. He was like, well, I'll just wait out here then. I will wait. They said, they clearly said that I could. And then they're like, we're not going to fight you. And he's like, what? Why not?
Starting point is 00:41:08 You said you would. Yeah, I quit my job for this. I'm the CEO of a very important company. I've been sober for 150 days. I need this. I broke my streak for this.

I don't go that often, but I did see last Halloween. This guy with a hockey mask. Adam and I were talking about this last night. I've never, Jason, that movie, you feel like, I feel like I've seen them.

You're talking about the Bourne idea. Jason Bourne. Are we talking about the Jason Bourne idea? He forgot who he was. But he's got all these skills.
Starting point is 00:44:58 He's really good at murdering people. He's trying to figure out why. Why am I wearing this hockey mask all the time? Maybe I'm a goalie. He's got a bunch of passports. He's dope. It's a good movie. Next subject.
Starting point is 00:45:11 You guys just check it out. Jason Bourne. Trilogy. Yeah. Also, there was no scene with Jason Bourne just wandering around the countryside. That doesn't apply to either of those movies. That is like, as far as a character that's been in five movies, that's a terrible Halloween costume. Which? Jason Bourne.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Oh, yeah. You wouldn't know. He's got kind of a sweater. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A black jacket. You'd have to carry around props. So many passports. Swiss brand account.
Starting point is 00:45:47 You'll get someone trying to stab me with a knife can three guys just come at me yeah you're like this is an action based costume I need you to come at me and I'm gonna break your neck can someone call the cops in like one minute so I have to like call them to where I only got a
Starting point is 00:46:03 minute left I'll explain Treadstone to you you won't get it in like one minute, so I have to call them to where I only got a minute left. It works with the cops. I'll explain Treadstone to you. You won't get it. So last Halloween, you saw a dust-up. Yeah, a fisticuff. But Jason,
Starting point is 00:46:17 I'll get to that. But Jason, though, I saw just 20 minutes of a movie and it was the first thing I saw. It was mid-movie. It was a guy. Maybe you remember. It was a guy on a motorcycle, like hillbilly, screaming.
Starting point is 00:46:35 And he's going, ah! And he's yelling. And he's going around this house, and his mom is going, come. And it's over-the-top hillbilly characters. And then the mom's like, come in here and get this stew and he's and he's going ah
Starting point is 00:46:47 damn that got in front of me and it was I was like what the fuck is it and then he just keeps going around in a circle screaming and she's like
Starting point is 00:46:54 come in here and I was like these people are annoying as shit and out of nowhere Jason just lops dude's head off and I was like
Starting point is 00:47:01 thanks right that's how I felt and then the mom was like where are you junior and then Jason Possum was like shut up bitch kills her and I was like two for two those are two fair kills
Starting point is 00:47:14 and then his next kill he's never been convicted I didn't know what this guy was I thought he was just unfair me then the next kill the dofus they cut to a teenage girl in her bedroom and it was real colorful it was in the 80s and she was just she was pop locking just practicing
Starting point is 00:47:36 her move but not good though so it was like she was kind of trying to trick you know when they get an actress that goes do you know how to dance I know how to break dance you know she said that and she was just like got the role and then she was just faking it watching videos didn't do any real research I was like she's cheating
Starting point is 00:47:58 she's not really dancing that kill was the best it was like Jason was just watching like fuck this shit he just walks in he watched her dance for about five minutes and he was like
Starting point is 00:48:12 I don't care for this this is bad and he it was almost like he looked at the camera like right yeah you guys want me to kill this
Starting point is 00:48:18 yeah yeah it was a special choose your own adventure Jason should I was there like scary music or anything like Yeah! It was a special choose your own adventure, Jason. Should I? Was there scary music or anything? Was the mood just like,
Starting point is 00:48:31 yeah, kill them, Jason! Did you watch it on mute? No! Go back and watch this one, man. Which one was it? Jason Takes the 80s. Jason's fair as hell. Jason's fair as hell. Jason's fair as hell.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Jason's fair kills. The greatest Jason fair kills. I don't think Jason gets it. When you think of 1980s icons, it's like Ronald Reagan, Michael Jackson, Madonna. Max Hedrum. Yeah. But Jason, that was his heyday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Well, he... Wayne Gretzky. Yeah, you miss 100% of the head lops that you don't swing at. You miss 100% of the beheadings you don't lop. Jason, the thing about this series, cause I've seen all of them. I don't remember this popping and locking scene, but there are 12 of them. Popping and lopping. Chopping and lopping.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Um, there's a, uh, it starts out, there's like a real, there's a story to it. The first two movies, he's a kid that's been terrorized by fellow campers. Right. And he's drowned by them. And then the big reveal after the first one, spoiler alert, is that it's his mother is doing all the murdering. She's taking revenge on behalf of her dead kid, Jason. The second one, Jason somehow is not dead now and the killings are done by drowned jason who somehow comes back to life and then they just lose the thread and jason's just a guy just murder and then he kind of like later he's kind of a
Starting point is 00:50:17 monster like he has a monster face now and he's supernatural now he's like super powerful and not the unkillable and then he gets killed at the end of every movie. And then he just... It's like an episode of The Simpsons. Everything's back to zero by the next movie. Nobody's heard of Jason before. That's kind of cool. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:50:40 They just restart. And then the best one is... Yeah, Jason takes Manhattan. Because of that. Because of the boxing one is, yeah, Jason takes Manhattan because of that. Because of the boxing scene. Speaking of throwdowns, the best movie fight ever where the boxer just gives him everything he's got. And then Jason hits him once and knocks his head off of his body. And it lands in a dumpster and then the dumpster closes.
Starting point is 00:51:02 It's great. Everything good. Anytime if I ever get like a movie to make movies, I'm just gonna I don't give a shit what it could be the, it could be a documentary
Starting point is 00:51:20 on, it could be a realistic thing and I'm just gonna, someone's getting their head knocked clean off their block. Not no blood, it's just gonna be your head. And then like, when the head lands, it's gotta make, like the It's an hour and a half talking head interview with
Starting point is 00:51:35 somebody high up in the Bush government. And then the last scene is Errol Morris. Goes through a basketball hoop. Yeah, am I ever get picked. Kurt, cheers. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:48 And everyone has to react like it's just normal. Like Teen Wolf. Yeah. Yeah. That's my favorite thing of yours. Dang. The bully. Have you heard of this bully guy?
Starting point is 00:52:03 Oh, the guy that I used to know It's a whole bit about back to the future I know I gotta jab you up I wanna jab you up So I wanna hear about this fight That happened on Halloween Okay Last Halloween

Starting point is 00:56:02 Yeah, I forgot about this. The curtain rod. Yeah, so you'll see a bunch of things like that on there. And then some other funny shit, too. But it's like a lot of... Can't wait. It's mostly fair, though. Most of it's fair. I don't like any unfair people getting...

Starting point is 00:56:36 There's comments? Of course there are. Oh, man. You don't even got. Don't read the comments on anything. No, but on this, though, You talk about hate speech, man. I can't even think in... I rarely talk about hate speech. You...
Starting point is 00:56:48 That's it. You talk about hate speech. Dave, you talk about hate speech. But you don't live it. Yeah, that's true. We're always sitting here talking about hate speech. Let's get some hate speech. It's so crazy because, like, the comments for something very innocent on YouTube can be just so terrible.
Starting point is 00:57:10 So I can't even imagine if the jumping off point is, guy gets, you know, bottled to head. He had a point. Yeah, it'll be nothing. That would be great if it was the reverse. The comments are all just like, see, this is what happens when you don't fund public schools. Yeah, if it was the reverse the comments are all just like see this is what happens when you don't fund public schools yeah it was super civil they're like i disagree this is a problem that happens from childbirth you have to teach people how to take care of their children and then someone goes no no fuck that i respect everyone's decision yeah like i respect everyone's opinion this is fair jesus it It's gross, man.
Starting point is 00:57:45 I don't like the comments. They just go straight to... So just watch the videos. Watch the videos. Some of the comments are funny, though. Sure, sure. No, I'm not. Well, don't read them.
Starting point is 00:57:56 But do read them. You know what? There are some... Some people out there are really good writers. Yeah. You know, you miss out on 100% of the comments you don't read. You miss out on 100% of the comments you don't read. You mess out on 100% of the hate speech. You don't spend a day reading.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Is anything going on with you? Oh, I got a new phone. Oh, yeah, your last phone. My last phone caught fire. Yeah, which is by itself. I'm in the texting championship. Yeah. Fastest texter.
Starting point is 00:58:28 I don't know what happened. So my phone was plugged in, charging overnight, and I woke up in the morning and I looked at my phone for what time it was, and it was off, which is very weird. And then I wouldn't turn on. weird and then i uh it wouldn't turn on and then i looked at the connector bit and it had completely melted like it fused with the phone oh wow and uh yeah so i don't know that component like it smelled like it had been on fire and uh like obviously i don't know i don't know how it happened like obviously it didn't spread anywhere it was just but the phone was finished oh and uh so i needed like i was like i gotta find a phone today basically because like i have no way to reach a lot of people i mean facebook you can reach everybody because you telecommute i do exactly i uh i've got home office set up um so I went on Craigslist and I really, I found something like within two hours, like just
Starting point is 00:59:29 a nice iPhone 4 for sale. And they're like, I'll meet you at this place in an hour. And you were like, oh, I forgot about the meeting part. Never mind. But also I was, I realized like, I said, yeah, okay, we'll go, we'll meet somewhere. And then I was like, oh, I don't know what this person looks like. So I wrote that and they didn't write back before I left the house. And so I was just flying.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Now, Graham, if you ever have to meet, you've done this before? Yeah, I bought a charger. And how do you describe how you look? I didn't say I should have. But in the past, have you? You know, scraggly beard. Scraggly is a word that I use. I think I just said scraggly.
Starting point is 01:00:15 We're kind of a scraggly guy in there. That'll probably be me. But luckily, she was smart. Like, she was just carrying the phone in the box. Oh, that is smart. Well, just like the phone in the box. That is smart. Well, just like, you know, like this is... She was carrying a bag of money. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Yeah, she was carrying a phone. Graham was carrying $150. In a cash bag with a dollar sign. It would be very easy to rob somebody. I guess that happens on Craigslist where you say, like, come meet me at this place. And you know exactly how much cash the person will have on them. It's $200 and then you show up and they just have a knife.
Starting point is 01:00:52 They're like, well, there goes my $200. But it was amazing how fast you can just buy a good working phone and have it set up. I was very surprised that it rolled out as easily as it did. That, that's a good turnaround. Yeah, like it was, by the end of the day,
Starting point is 01:01:08 I had a functional phone. It was better, you know, like it was the next level of phone or whatever. But still, I'm very upset and disturbed that my phone caught fire. Like, I'm like, that really would have, because I didn't wake up. I kind of like that movie, though. About a phone that catches on fire phones that turn against us oh sure absolutely you gotta go sleep in the phone as you turn it off and the phone does that
Starting point is 01:01:34 the phone's eyes and he has motive because he knows who you are yeah from all the shit you've been putting in there all you know whatever he's judged you and he's like you don't deserve to yeah yeah right yeah exactly this is the kind of guy i'm gonna poison the next meal you take a photo of he's the kind of guy you are or it's like it coordinates with other phones it like tells you uh oh there's been an accident. You have to go to this hospital. And then it also contacts your enemy and like, we're throwing a surprise party for you at the hospital. And then you show up and he kills you.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Yeah, it's a terrible surprise party. For two reasons. That's dope. That's a good stupid movie. Yeah. Matt Damon's interested Can we knock his head off? And then there was another thing
Starting point is 01:02:30 When we were If your phone had been in like A bucket of oily rags Your house would have burned down If it had been Or a pile of papers Which easily you could have just had a phone Just sitting on top of, right?
Starting point is 01:02:46 Like junk mail or whatever. Anyway, so I guess I'll never charge my phone overnight again. What kind of phone was it? An iPhone. Oh, wow. 3GS. Yeah. iPhone.
Starting point is 01:02:58 3GS. USB cable. Yeah, completely melted. Never heard of that before. That's weird. Oh, I've heard of that. As soon as I posted it on Twitter, there was, like, several people were like, same thing happened to mine.
Starting point is 01:03:09 And I was like, oh, this is not great. Seems like a... But you didn't see flames or anything? No, but it smelled like burnt... Burnt electronics. Kind of different? And they... You don't necessarily...
Starting point is 01:03:25 Is it more of a heat? Yeah, you can get that smell from just something that burns out in two seconds without any heat. Without any fire or whatever. I mean, but this did melt your... Yeah, so it was like super hot, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I survived that. Thank God.
Starting point is 01:03:43 And also, this is just a side note. When I was walking, when we met and you were heading towards Poutine or whatever, dude, we were walking down the street and I was, I bought a slice of pizza. It was just this crazy thing. But this shows the difference in just the way that my life is versus the way Dino's life is. Some dude, never seen before, giant dude. How tall was that guy? He looked like Frankenstein.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Yeah, he looked like Frankenstein. So, like, really handsome dude. Yeah, and he came up with Frankenstein arms like he was going to strangle me. And I just went like, oh, no, like, don't, please. And Dino was like, do you know that guy? And I was like, no, I've never seen that guy before. You know what? He did it cooler than that, though.
Starting point is 01:04:32 That's what makes it funny. He didn't even, it wasn't even, he had his pizza, and then this guy goes, you. Yeah, he's like. And starts walking towards him. And Grant goes, nah, nah, nah. He just gives him just a thing, like not today, but not,
Starting point is 01:04:48 it wasn't confrontational. It wasn't, he just didn't flinch. And the guy goes, all right. And then I go, do you know that guy? He goes, nope.
Starting point is 01:04:55 It wasn't crazy as shit. I go, he could have, it was like five, he didn't mean harm, but it was like he came, he was going to choke you. He was walking like Jason. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Yeah. He looked like he had a taste for lopping. Is it possible that you're famous for being strangled? Yeah. You know how if someone is famous for something, people just walk by and yell their catchphrase or whatever? That's true. So yours is like, oh, you're the getting strangled guy. Yeah, I'm a model on strangle.net. The hottest necks of 2013.
Starting point is 01:05:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, that was a very, like, that's kind of a, like, you could see that out of a scene in one of the Jason movies. That somebody like, Jason's like, ah, and somebody's like, not tonight, Jason. And him being like, ugh. Yeah, like a businessman on a brick cell phone. What are you, Jason's taking Manhattan. And the guy's like, no, I'm on a call. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:53 And Jason's like, does Sobe, doesn't know what to do with that? Can't lop him. Join him. And Jason gets a job on Wall Street. Yeah, as Gordon Gekko, he's like. He's ringing the bell. Ding, ding, ding, on Wall Street. Yeah, it's Gordon Gekko. He's ringing the bell. Jason opened the stock exchange. Stocks in Bloodcor have come through the roof.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Bloodcor? Manufacture blood. Well, they get blood to where people have lost a lot of it. So Jason's drumming up his own business. You're like, Jason, what else do you got for me besides a connection at the airport? He's on the work for Bluestone.
Starting point is 01:06:34 What? Wall Street. Nah. Greed is good. That's the only quote. Jason wearing suspenders. That's all I was going to say. It is good. That's the only quote. Jason wearing suspenders. That's all I was going to say.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Well, let's move on to Overheard, shall we? Hey, I'm Jesse Thorne. Hey, I'm Jordan Morris. We're actual friends. And actual professional broadcasters. We host Jordan, Jesse, Go! A show about, you know, friendship, being a person. Yeah, we run the full spectrum from feelings to some of the most vulgar jokes you can imagine. And honestly, putting it that way makes it seem like it's half and a half. At best, 25-75.
Starting point is 01:07:15 It's definitely mostly vulgarity, but it's a pleasant, friendly vulgarity from two guys who went to a reasonably prestigious UC college. Why don't you try the show out now? Grab one with one of your favorite comedians like a Rob Corddry or Rob Delaney or whatever. Or somebody awesome that maybe you haven't heard of yet. Yeah, go to MaximumFun.org or your favorite podcasting app and download an episode of Jordan Jesse Go now.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Now. Ryan, my co-host, how would you describe Throwing Shade, the podcast that we do? Well, Erin, my co-host, I would say that we take lady issues and gay issues and treat them with much less respect than they deserve because let's be honest, we really don't have very much respect for each other. We don't respect anything. I don't, I'm not even wearing pants. I'm very ashamed of your body and mine. Overheard.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Overheards. Things you may have overheard while you're out wandering the streets. Now, Graham. Yeah. Let me interrupt you. Yeah, go ahead. And admit that I just screwed up. No, it's fine.

Starting point is 01:08:43 I wouldn't be. I don't mind if you just do the same one. I could do a good one, guys. You know what? I wouldn't be. I don't mind if you just do the same one. I could do a new one, though. I could do a new one. You know what? Let me explain a little more. Yeah. This has happened in the past where we have had like a computer malfunction and lost 45 minutes of the show.
Starting point is 01:09:02 This is great. We just lost about five or six minutes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just... No problem. No hard feelings. I noticed it because it went to a screensaver. I was like, well...
Starting point is 01:09:12 That doesn't usually happen. That's not a thing. No, we just didn't record it. We recorded the testings. Yeah. And then this last segment. So sorry, everybody. Hope you enjoyed those ads for shows on the Maximum Fun Network.

That sounds like a soup yeah make skeleton take pictures that sounds like a hilarious kids album like a halloween song skeleton soup you put the carcass in a pot you take a picture of it and you send it to someone and say, you're next. Hopefully that trend of the... I was still one of them idiots where every time I take a food picture, I just go, you fucking loser. Don't send this to anyone.

Just all the different foods you can put a cigarette out in. Ice cream. Soup. Yeah, that would be super gross. Talk about fuck leftovers.
Starting point is 01:12:39 A twice-baked cake. Dave, do you got an overheard? My overheard is from television, so it barely counts. But you know what? No one's keeping score. Ooh. By the way, listeners, start keeping score. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Actually, go back through the past 300 or so episodes, including the live ones. And, oh, yeah, we've already probably done 300 episodes, so we don't need to come up with anything for our 300th episode. Crary Lee Award, he'll be like, if a joke really lands well, he'll be like, plus five points. And if you insult him as the host, he'll be like, minus three points. Somebody went through every episode, tallied the points, and came up with a graph of who has the most points, who won the most debates, who's the all-time point leader. Great. All right.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Yeah. Where can you get the stats at? I'll send them to you. Yeah, it was just a private thing? Yeah, I just sent it to the producers Like, hey, I'm a big fan of the show So I just went through and listened to every episode Here's the official points tally
Starting point is 01:13:53 Post it on the show's Instagram Oh, I should, yeah Next to my cigarette meals My overheard is from television From the television show America's Next Top Model, which is a show about people who aspire to be models that will never be heard from again. Except that one.
Starting point is 01:14:15 The first one, yeah. She shouldn't have won that year. I had a fave. I was an Elise fan back then. She started her own brand of birth control, right? That's Aless. Oh, right. That is Trojan.
Starting point is 01:14:34 So this year on America's Next Top Model, it's girls versus boys. Women versus men. There aren't any eight-year-olds. So there's guys and girls. Emotionally, they're four. Yeah. Oh, emotionally, they're four. Toddlers versus kids. I kind of don't hate the idea of having kids model.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Sort of toddlers versus tiaras. Versus tiaras? They, in this challenge, they were uh i think they went to bali like every year they take them to some fashion capital and uh they ran out of fashion capitals after like four cities yeah like new york paris milan uh i don't know bali yeah santiago Santiago. And so they went to this like zoo or it was more of like a nature preserve. Oh, yeah. And all the models would they had to model with different animals. And a couple of people had to model with a snake.
Starting point is 01:15:39 A couple of people had to model with a bird. And a couple of people had to model with an orangutan. And this male model said, I am posing with an orangutan and this male model said i am posing with an orangutan i love it the orangutan has a similar amount pardon me the orangutan has a similar anatomy to that of a human being so i feel like i have an edge here you really slurred through a similar anatomy. Yeah. We have a similar imagination. Synecdoche, New York.
Starting point is 01:16:12 They should do a top model with just the best animal models. Yeah. Yeah. Like, who comes out? Is it a tiger, right? Or what would be the top animal model? Probably a panda. Pandas.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Or what would be the top animal model? Probably a panda. Pandas. I think they would start to know that they're being judged and take upon human characters. Yeah, absolutely. And become assholes. Yeah, form alliances. In that little self-confession, they'd be like, that fucking bear is an asshole. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:40 And that python keeps stealing my dresses. I can't believe that tortoise is still here. I didn't come here to make friends. Graham, do you have an overheard? Yeah, mine is also courtesy of a reality show. Well, you got the new phone. I noticed you haven't updated to the new OS. No, yeah, I haven't, but I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:03 Which I believe is a birth control OS. But I was watching a show that I'd never seen before. It was just a clip on, it was a list of the top 10 worst reality shows ever, and I'd never heard of most of them. But one of them was called Bridalplasty, which was a show where all these women compete. And if they win, they get their wedding is all taken care of and their wedding dress or whatever. And they get plastic surgery, like on the house. And so it was the decision that the last episode where it was they bring back all the contestants.
Starting point is 01:17:43 And, you know, whoever has the most ex-contestants sit at their table wins. Oh, okay. And so the one was really terrible to everybody, and so she was losing very quickly. And what would you have changed of her face? Her bitchiness. Okay. But they had their last appeals to make before the voting.
Starting point is 01:18:09 And the mean one said about the other one, who ended up winning, she goes, I feel like she wasn't taking this process seriously. Like, she got the lipo, and then she went back in the kitchen and ate hot pockets every night and to which the one that one said a hot pocket a lean pocket wow yeah get it right it's like easier to to and like tastier like i i'm not one of these people who's like, you should eat fruits and vegetables. Like I get it that stuff tastes better. Yeah. But a lean pocket doesn't.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Yeah, lean pocket is gross. A lean pocket is just a hot pocket with broccoli in it, right? I think a lean pocket is like, they've got like, you know, cheese that doesn't have anything good in it. It's a weird cheese. Yeah, it's a weird cheese stuff. Have you had a lean pocket? I've had it. It's a weird cheese. Have you had a lean pocket? It's been so long.
Starting point is 01:19:09 For a while, you know what? I think I used to... This is going to come out way wrong. This will be next week's over. I feel like I used to trade sex for lean pockets in college.

If you want to be one of these people, you can send it on over to spy at maximumfun.org. And this first one, I feel like this one really hits a really good dad joke. Okay. I'm a big fan of the dad joke. And this comes from Maria H. in Chelmsford, Ontario. Maybe Chelmsford? Chelmsford?
Starting point is 01:20:12 Chelmsford? Chelmsford. I don't know.

Hi, Dave and Graham. This is Lindsay calling from New York with an overheard. I just walked into a Spirit Halloween store where a kid who is greeting customers, probably a 12-year-old, stated, Welcome to Spirit Halloween, where kids have axes.
Starting point is 01:28:22 Thanks. Where kids have axes? Yeah, I don't know if it was a pun, like access. Also, I don't know why a 12-year-old is working as a greeter anywhere. Welcome! I was born
Starting point is 01:28:37 in the 21st century. That greeting doesn't sound complete. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, where kids can... Where kids have axes. I'm going to leave. I'm going to leave this store. I don't think that's right. This is a thing that happens...
Starting point is 01:28:57 I feel like it's a fairly localized phenomenon here where we have costume stores that spring up everywhere and kind of abandon storefronts. Yeah. And fireworks stores, which just sell... The fireworks ones, I feel like there are costume stores that are... I actually don't know if they're temporary costume stores.
Starting point is 01:29:18 There's definitely a temporary Halloween store just down the street from where I live because it's just because I guess you could just buy a bunch of costumes, right? From the wholesaler or whatever. Yeah. Funky Future Gandhi. Yeah. Zebra with a green mustache.
Starting point is 01:29:38 What do you think is going to be the most overdone costume this year? Oh, boy. Probably Walter White. Oh, I don't know. Maybe Miley Cyrus. Something twerking. Oh, that'd be Walter White. Oh, I don't know. Maybe Miley Cyrus. Something twerking. Oh, that'd be fun. That'd be a fun couples costume if one of them
Starting point is 01:29:49 went as a wrecking ball and then the other one was Miley Cyrus riding around on the shoulders. Maybe a cronut. Someone goes as a cronut. What's a cronut? A croissant donut. Oh. These are very trendy things. Don't think I've ever had one. Oh, you wouldn't. Have they made their way up here? To the Pacific North and South?
Starting point is 01:30:05 Yeah, you know what? Not the real ones. No. Where do you get them? New York? Yeah. You've got to wait in line. I don't like it.
Starting point is 01:30:13 Oh, wait, no. Communist Russia. Here's your next phone call. Hey, Dave Graham and awesome guest. This is Adam from Abbotsford, and I'm calling him with an overheard. A couple days ago, I was just working at a local gym when a father and his kid walked in, and they were talking about food. The kid was talking about spaghetti and how much he likes the ingredients of spaghetti,
Starting point is 01:30:42 especially when there are meatballs. And they continued to go into the gym. As they left, the kid turned to the dad and said, all right, that's cool, dad. And what's your 25th favorite food? I don't know. I got spaghetti again. I could probably come up with my 25 favorite foods, but I don't think I could rank them. Kids want you to.
Starting point is 01:31:11 They want you to have everything squared away at that point in their life. They want you to have thought about this. Yeah. How mad. How much patience. I wonder when the dad lost it. Probably never. This is his day with the kid.
Starting point is 01:31:27 Dad, what are we going to do today? Well, I'm going to list my 25 favorite foods for you. Maybe it was the dad's idea. And he got into like 12 foods and the kid was like, can we fast forward to 25 now? Yeah, that's how it is. Well, dad, that's cool. Let's do it is. Well, Dad, that's cool. When's your 25th? I think that maybe if I had to be around a kid, that would be what I'd do.
Starting point is 01:31:50 I'd just ask that kid that question. Because I feel like it's a leading question. They don't actually care. They just want you to ask, what's your 25th? So just I'd be like, list me your favorite 20 animals. And then after they've done that, list your 20 favorite cities. So do you think his dad got to 25 foods
Starting point is 01:32:09 before he realized that the kid just wants... Like the kid wants to talk about his one favorite food? Yeah, now ask me. Dad eats ice cream. He's waiting for the hint. Oh, it is ice cream.
Starting point is 01:32:19 He's waiting for that lead in. Like, come on, Dad. I gave you 24. Yeah. Just ask me what the dad's doing pull-downs. Yeah, I can't 20. Watch me work out while I talk about food. I'm weird.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Chicken cattrazzini. Enchilada casserole. I've never tried beef wellington, but I do might like it. Because probably... Yeah. Yeah. I've never tried beef wellington but I still might like it yeah yeah yeah when you're doing the workout circuit make sure you list your favorite food for each device that you use
Starting point is 01:32:55 is that what they call them devices I don't go to the gym a lot I haven't been at a gym in years yeah and it shows since it was part of your curriculum I haven't been at a gym in years. Yeah. Yeah. And it chose. Since it was part of your curriculum. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:33:11 What I still call it a gym day. When you wore gym strip. Here is your final overheard of the week. Oh, hooray. Your 25th favorite overheard of the week. Hello, Dave and Graham, and hopefully above average guests. My name is Adam from Evansville, Indiana. Call me when you're overheard. The other day at work, I was in a meeting, and a guy from
Starting point is 01:33:31 Cross for me could not stay awake. I kept dozing off, and when the meeting was over, finally, the guy sitting next to me, Bobby, spoke up and said, Josh, you're really, really tired. What are you, a necrophiliac? A what? Necrophiliac? A what? Necrophiliac?
Starting point is 01:33:51 Yeah. Yeah, I was up all night. I mean, it sucks with a corpse. So tired. You can only do it at night. What did he mean? Narcoleptic. Narcoleptic, yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:06 I was like, hemophiliac? Nope. Necromancer? What are you, a Dracula? Yeah. Did he mean that? What are you, Adrian? Also, maybe you try to get some more sleep.
Starting point is 01:34:25 Like, you shouldn't be falling asleep at work. It is affecting your performance. People are noticing. I don't know how you don't fall asleep at work. It's just so tempting. Everything's so quiet. You're so bored. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:41 Well, I used to work in a law office, like, in summers between college. And there were these guys that were like the worst. I'm talking about these guys who wanted to invite me. Like, oh, Dave, you want to come see? It was the year that the first Fast and the Furious came out. And they're like, we're seeing it on opening weekend before it gets banned. Yeah, it's a dangerous movie. And one of the guys got fired because he kept falling asleep
Starting point is 01:35:10 at a desk and would make himself cozy. Like I said, I don't know how it doesn't happen more often. When I show up at a place where they have not a secretary, what do you call it that sits in the front receptionist
Starting point is 01:35:26 i'm surprised that those people aren't always asleep when i show up like or security guards that are sitting at a desk like whenever they're awake i'm like you should get a raise yeah because this is like the perfect job to be asleep at sitting in a cozy chair nothing's happening just dozing off wearing Wearing glasses with eyes on. Yeah, yeah. That would be so funny if you went in and you woke them up, but they kept the glasses on, and then they just have crazy cartoon eyes that don't blink.
Starting point is 01:35:56 Do you ever see poker on TV, and all the guys are wearing sunglasses? Sunglasses and hoodies, right? Yeah, that's because poker is so boring that they fall asleep. They're all asleep. He's so patient. Yeah, everybody's whispering. Somebody speak louder so people don't fall asleep. He's waiting for the perfect hand.
Starting point is 01:36:15 Like a cobra. It's a cobra. The cobra's ready to strangle. Oh no, he's falling asleep. Oh no, the cobra's on the floor. He's curled up like a cobra. He's all in. He's falling right out of his chair. Oh no, the cobra's on the floor. He's curled up like a cobra. He goes, he's all in. Oh, he just knocked over his chair.
Starting point is 01:36:31 He's falling asleep on his chips. And wait for the flop, and his head is flopped off the ground. What is he? A necrophilia? He's a necrophilia. A fucking girl with bad people. Doing it for us. So that brings us to the end of this here episode.
