Starting point is 00:04:34 Right. So the elevator just, it was stuck for about 45, maybe 55 seconds, just like not going anywhere. And it was just you and Artie Lang? Me, Peter, Artie Lang, some strangers. I don't know. I was focusing on Artie Lang. Doors were closed. Doors closed, not going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Mid-floor, the doors aren't opening. And we're just like, what are we doing here? And then it was probably less than 45 seconds, but I realized that I could probably faint from closed... Like a lot of people around. Oh, so you're really claustrophobic? Oh, I got tunnel vision blackout. I was like, I'm going to faint. I'm going to faint.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Really? I wonder if there's... Should there be like... People should have to wear a bracelet. I'm a fainter. But for situations where like if you have serious claustrophobia or agoraphobia. Yeah, or vertigo or something like that. So you can't be like, no one can be like, he's faking it.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Yeah, or people are trying to like give you insulin. They're like, yeah, I'm just claustrophobic. like give you insulin they're like yeah i'm just claustrophobic um have you ever fainted because you've been on closed space before no is that the first time where you're like holy shit like uh i guess i don't like this at all wow so yeah there's probably 12 people there's a packed elevator and then i just started feeling like oh i'm gonna have you fainted at all ever couple a couple times in the shower no way really how many people were in there with you and i had to i had to faint are you laying no just really you fainted in the shower i fainted in the shower how did you not hurt yourself very very bad he could have you don't know he didn't you don't know the rest? I fainted in the shower before. How did you not hurt yourself very, very badly? Well, he could have.
Starting point is 00:06:26 You don't know he didn't. You don't know the rest. No, I didn't. I was just like, I had the wherewithal. Oh. Good word. To know that I might faint.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And then I just kind of like sat on the, and then I came. You brought a chair into the shower with you. I came to, I came up on my chair. And then there I was Still in the shower But it was Yeah
Starting point is 00:06:47 Very strange I don't know Weird I fainted like Two or three times In the shower Like in the mornings Yeah that time
Starting point is 00:06:54 Was in the morning But Two Really Three times across my It could be just You're really sleepy And it's like
Starting point is 00:07:01 Oh you haven't quite Woken up yet I'm just going to grab A few more of these Yeah That's what fainting is Yeah Yeah Like every night When you go to bed You're really sleepy and it's like, oh, you haven't quite woken up yet. I'm just going to grab a few more of these. That's what fainting is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Like every night when you go to bed. When I go to bed. You faint eventually. Sometimes I, yeah, sometimes I wake up in the morning and I don't want to get up or faint for like nine minutes. Yeah. I have this machine that lets me faint for nine minutes. What is the definition of fainting?
Starting point is 00:07:24 Is it just that you completely Completely like you just black out And then you just Have you ever fainted? No I don't think so I fainted once but I was at a concert What was the concert? Bright Eyes But it was before Bright Eyes had started
Starting point is 00:07:39 It was Arab Strap Scottish Drone band So droney It was at the commodore ballroom and uh i had driven and this was the opening band and i was like okay i'm driving home yeah but we're not going home for like four hours i'm gonna have two drinks really fast at the very beginning i'll be sober by the end of the night bad idea anyway but it it was fine yeah but uh and i was sober but for the record that caused you but then i was just standing there and i just remember being like i i don't think i think i'm gonna have to sit
Starting point is 00:08:18 down and then i closed my eyes and i woke up and i was sitting on the floor weird yeah i remember there was a kid in uh biology class i probably have told this story where we were watching like an eye surgery video yeah which is like on the loose what is that it's that uh uh movie about slicing up eyeballs oh yeah no no this is from the pix song? This is a real, this was an eye surgery thing and the teacher said, if you're feeling dizzy or barfy, just put your head down
Starting point is 00:08:52 and that'll stop it. But one kid was like... But there were so many squishy noises in it. Yeah. This kid got up and decided to walk out of the class and he fainted
Starting point is 00:09:02 and went face first into a computer. Oh, Jesus. And this was the 90s, so it was yeah broke his tooth oof yeah last time i fainted like two weeks ago on a plane from edmonton back to toronto i took a pill and i fainted for like six hours and no did you really faint yeah well i i thought it would be a good idea to always book that early flight out. I love booking the earliest flight out of a city. I can, if I don't have to be there anymore, I'm gone. 6 a.m.
Starting point is 00:09:35 That's a bit early, but I am on board. Right. But it's like the closing night party of the Edmonton Fringe Festival. I was like, all right, well, I'm going to stay up all night right well i'm gonna stay up all night and for this so i stayed up all night and then drinking so much okay did all of the drugs no it was just just the beer uh but that i mean that was i don't know whether it's an altitude thing or it was just like i was i slept for one hour and then went to the airport and just got so nauseous on the plane. Like for the first time in my life, I was actually looking for that barf bag.
Starting point is 00:10:10 And I was going to use it. And instead of that, I just blacked out. Wow. And luckily I had a whole row to myself. I woke up probably 10 seconds later just laying down across the screen. Way better. Way better. Your brain's like, I just need 10 more seconds.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? Yeah. Wow. And then I was fine, but I was sweaty. Yeah. Really sweaty. Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:10:44 But, like, maybe that's a thing that you do maybe you just are a guy who it would be great if you could if you're shitty i'm a bit shitty yeah like because because people say that about like throwing up like oh just throw up you'll feel better but if you could just faint on command like oh you know what i fought it for a long time i'm just gonna faint real quick yeah yeah like one of those those goats that you scare and they faint yeah yeah i was thinking of going to the flight attendant and be like can i have some ginger ale i'm not doing very well just like but then there's the button that you can push yeah yeah i don't know did you remember that after no this is what i was like i had a very similar thing a few months ago except except I was on a full plane in a full aisle,
Starting point is 00:11:26 and I had the bag, holding the bag the whole time, and the judgy looks you get from people. Oh, I know. Yeah. Oh, really? Is this your first time flying? Is this a thrill ride for you? And then I called the flight attendant over.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Can I get some ginger ale? And she was like, we'll be serving drinks in a bit. What's the button for that? flight attendant over. Can I get some ginger ale? And she was like, we'll be serving drinks in a bit. Oh, what's the button for that? I had been working up the courage to do it for like 15 minutes. I've never pushed that button.
Starting point is 00:11:52 No, I've never. I did it as a kid. I pushed it by accident. Oh, we all do that. Sure. I did it as a kid
Starting point is 00:11:58 pushing every button because, you know, what does this do? What does this do? Yeah, yeah. Oh,
Starting point is 00:12:03 this makes the lady come over and then turn off the light for you yeah no i haven't uh even if i was stuck like in an elevator i wouldn't call the emergency call probably for like five or ten minutes i'd be like i'll just wait this yeah maybe they're busy yeah yeah i'm not gonna i'm not gonna cause a fuss anybody we live uh right by this uh utility box Like there's just out on the sidewalk By the sidewalk there's a Utility box that belongs to Telus the telephone company
Starting point is 00:12:31 Sure yeah I know about them Someone comes By every few weeks and opens it up And it's full of wires and they do whatever Yeah and it like it hums All the time And then one day It was just open like the lock was off and the
Starting point is 00:12:48 door was open and the wires out and i couldn't get a hold of them like how do you i'm not a customer of theirs i was just trying to do them a solid yeah yeah and i was like i'm not gonna wait for 45 minutes on hold to talk to like a salesperson. And the person's like, look, we don't have a guy that can come and fix it, but we need you to do some. It's very, you just need you to switch a couple of wires. But first, are you looking for telephone service? Because we got some dynamite deals. There's also, I think in like movies, there were different power boxes like that have a phone in them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:26 That the guy can call head office or whatever. But it was like you call up any utility, you call them up. Yeah. And the first thing is like, what's your phone number? What's your account number? And then just answer us. Like it wasn't even a touchtone. I was like, just say your problem.
Starting point is 00:13:44 And I was like, one of your boxes is wide open. I don't know. I'm not a customer of yours. Can I just speak to an agent or something? Sounds like you want home internet service. One of those things being open on my walk home from elementary school. And all the wires. This would happen a lot, too.
Starting point is 00:14:01 There would just be loose wires on the ground. Not attached to anything. And we would pick them up, like, weekly and then make bracelets out of these wires. Friendship. Like friendship bracelets. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:16 They were lovely. That's got to be some violation of union rules. No, no, it's fine. Just leave wires. Like, the box was open just box would be i don't know whether it's open or shut but there'd be loose wires we found a crowbar yeah pride open for sure my friends and i were like fascinated by those boxes like when we were kids like i remember like thinking like how can we smash the lock off? What's inside? Just electricity. That and like the boiler room at school. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:04 Yeah. Almost as good as the movie Susan Vega was on there probably Maybe she was That movie is terrible Batman Forever And yet people pick on Batman and Robin Yeah Well that one's worse sadly
Starting point is 00:20:20 There are two really bad ones Was Batman Forever I haven't seen it since I saw it. For me, it was all about Jim Carrey. It was like at that point in my life, it was Jim Carrey's the shit. Yeah, that's true. I'm watching Batman Forever. Kind of blindly follow him wherever he's going.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Yeah, exactly. Followed him into some pretty bad films. The Majestic. I'm looking at you. You've still followed him that late? That's pretty late. Well, he kind of like... First of all, he was like in grade four at that point.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Yeah, but I understood. I always had my finger on the pulse. When Majestic came out, you were 23. But he made a string of great comedies. And then he kind of started going kind of wiggly. Yeah. And then he made a couple cool dramas. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And then I don't know what the fuck happened. Then I don't know what happened to Jim Carrey. He kind of... Last I saw him, I was watching an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Oh, is he in that? Yeah, there's a Jerry Seinfeld... Yeah, yeah. An episode with him. And he's very, seems very Buddhist and very like, just chill.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Yeah. Made back. Yeah, you can do that when you have, you know, $75 million in the bank. Well, no, anyone can be chill. No, you need 75 mil, though. Like, I feel like I'd be really chill if I had 75 mil. I'd be so chill. That's what I'm looking for is the ultimate chill,
Starting point is 00:21:50 which reminds me of my favorite movie, Batman and Robin. Right. Chill out. Batman and Robin. I was going to say the big chill. No, that was Mr. Freeze's favorite movie. What was his favorite? Ice to See You.
Starting point is 00:22:02 All of it. Oh, all of it. He did them all. name a cold pun he was um yeah that movie uh chili today hot tamale that was his weather report there was one that was really lazy in there where it was like they're at a museum and he says what killed the dinosaurs the ice age but it was like we really had to bring in a lot of dinosaur props for that one pun i wonder what the most expensive joke ever was oh it has to be oh like it has to be something where something like a huge thing blows up, and then somebody says, you know, well, that happened, or something like that.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Well, nobody's perfect. That's a very good question. Yeah. What is history's most expensive joke? Come on, split cider. Yeah, yeah. Look it up for me. Yeah, they'll do it for us.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Yeah. Maybe something out of... You could Google that. What, you got a phone there no but there's no there's no way to quantify this phone only
Starting point is 00:23:08 can look up stuff from mad tv season 1 okay alright remember on mad tv season 1 they had they still were
Starting point is 00:23:15 trying to link it to the comic book yeah they had spy versus spies yeah yeah and they I feel like
Starting point is 00:23:21 they're maybe cartoon interstitial I came into mad tv at michael mcdonald stewart kinda I think that's when I was there Yeah, and I feel like... There may be cartoon interstitials. I came into Mad TV at Michael McDonald, Stewart kind of. I think that's when I was there. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I don't remember much. Was that also there was an Asian character of some sort? Yeah. Oh, Bobby Lee doing stuff? No, no. No, just like somebody doing... Oh, Miss Swan. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Was she Asian? Wasn't she? It was offensive in some way for sure yeah you could not do it again yeah yeah that was a different time six years ago i think we're talking 15 years well it was 21st century sure like they were still doing it after y2k yeah that's for sure because i'm sure there was a sketch where she deals specifically with Y2K why isn't mad TV on anymore?
Starting point is 00:24:13 cause it seems like still a thing that kids would want to watch I don't know you could have told me that it was still on I didn't like where do you find TV these days? oh the television yeah right okay yeah yeah still yeah your parents must still watch tv i think they're a little bit he's still ahead of the still trying to figure out mp3s yeah well i wonder if my parents
Starting point is 00:24:38 are are hip yeah a little bit to the technology they They've got Apple TV. Okay. Sure. Do you think that, because like movies and art forms adapt to the technology or they can like inform the technology. But like, when will there be a movie that is like vertical so you can watch it the way everyone shoots on their iPhone? Or like, when will there be a movie that incorporates the, you know thumbprints that you have on your laptop like the weird smudges and splashes that are already on your laptop screen i thought you were like why what when are they going to make a movie that's tilted the way that people watch it when they're like lying on a couch like that you can when you're spooning your ipad in bed yeah yeah that you can just turn it so that well maybe you can... Like you're spooning your iPad in bed? Yeah, yeah. That you can just turn it so that... Well, maybe you can do that with an iPad.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I don't... Yeah, well, you can move the entire thing. Yeah. But doesn't it... It'll flip. It flips, though. You can flip it, but you can lock it. Oh, you can lock it.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yeah, there should be a diagonal, a 45-degree screen option. Yeah. That would be good, right? Pipe that Urien mode. Yeah. Oh, shit. Oh, man. That's good. Pythagorean mode. Oh, shit. Oh, man. That's good.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Yeah. iPhone 7S. Technology has come a long way, but also not as, you know. It's still catching up to our laziness. Yeah, and our crazy imaginations. Yeah. Dream big. You may never wake up.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Is that one of those posters? Yeah, I think I heard Snoop Dogg say it once. Maybe to Jimmy Kimmel. Dream big, you may never wake up. That's like something you say to somebody in a coma. Or it's like a threat. Yeah, yeah. Care about what you wish for.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Yeah, dream big or you'll never wake up. Yeah, so what else do you like about Toronto? So what else is new? What's exciting? What's exciting? What's good, as Vicky Minaj would say. Yeah, Miley.

Starting point is 00:26:53 Outdoor. Richmond. Okay. Oh, wait, no. We drove a car out there and then we got out of the car and got into smaller cars and drove those around.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And then there was a part where you get into smaller cars. It cost 30 bucks to drive around. I think I've been there. Yeah, it's pretty fun. How fast does it go? Oh, I'd like to think 8. Really fast. But you're down so low to the ground that it feels
Starting point is 00:27:23 fast. I think it's probably 50 actually though like maybe maybe 40 kilometers. I would have asked. Go back.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Yeah. Because what do you think? 20? I'd say 25. Kilometers? Kilometers. Kilometers. Miles.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Are you wearing helmets? Oh yeah. Yeah. So this isn't just I mean what are those helmets going to do? I guess protect your neck. Well, here...
Starting point is 00:27:46 Okay, so I was... Protect your neck. I was doing time trials. I was timing myself. I would put my iPhone on the seat. You had Siri. And drive in. And then every time I did the lap, I hit the lap button on the thing.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Okay, so you had a free hand. I had a free hand. Oh, yeah. We do it on the straightaway. So this was a standard. It's an automatic. So we're driving around. Are they not standard go-karts?
Starting point is 00:28:10 Probably. Well, I can't imagine they have more than one gear as they are. Just lawnmower engines. A lawnmower engine, yeah. Do they have standard lawnmowers? I don't know. I don't know. These are all sorts of questions I don't know. But don't know. These are all sorts of questions.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I don't know. But anyway. I'm going around. Going around, just drifting. Yeah. Who'd you go with? Like, about yourself or friends? No, my friend, Saul.
Starting point is 00:28:35 You got to meet him. I'm going to plug my friend Saul right now. Yeah. He lives downtown East, West Side of Vancouver. He's really cool. Look him up. He's great. Saul Joseph, Vancouver. He's really cool. Look him up. He's great. Saul Joseph, lawyer.
Starting point is 00:28:47 He's a lawyer. He's a lawyer? Is he really? Yeah, he'll take you out. So he's literally a lawyer named Saul in an era of Better Call Saul. That's got to be fun. Yeah. That's got to be fun.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Think of that. So anyway, we're driving all the way around doing the go-kart time trials. Today's a weekday. Yeah, he's a lawyer who's got Tuesday free for go-karts. He just got a job. Well, he's not going to have it for long. He just accepted an offer for a job? First weekend.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Times are tough. It's hard to find a job right now. So he's unemployed. Okay. But he is a lawyer. You can tell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in his blood.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Sure. What's that supposed to mean? He was the only one at the track with the briefcase. I gotcha. Yeah. He was in the suit.
Starting point is 00:29:32 He was just waiting for somebody to get in an accident so he could drum up a little bit. I remember growing up there were so many mean jokes about lawyers.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Why? I think because like weren't divorces on the rise or something like that? They were all written by angry dads. Anyway. A lot of those. You went, you went, you, you.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Oh, right. I was doing time trials. Yeah. What was your best time? Ooh. Well, 52 seconds. Ooh, that's good. Around the track.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Very, it's very good for this track. I was told. 55 second was the average, but then 52. But then I looked down one lap. And I had a boner. I was so excited that my boner had pushed my iPhone.
Starting point is 00:30:19 This is the true part. I looked down for doing the lap and then my iPhone'shone's gone and then i didn't really look or think that there were just holes in the bottom of the go-kart and it was just like i mean how's it this isn't gonna be great radio but that's oh i shattered every shatter that you see oh but on that phone oh the front and the front but the not the screen but that's how fast we were going. Not fast enough
Starting point is 00:30:46 to shatter it completely. Still works. So if that's a reference, probably 25 kilometers an hour, I guess. Yeah, maybe. Wow. Oh, man,
Starting point is 00:30:54 you did a lap in 52. Oh, but then I wasted the rest of my time just like slowly driving around the track looking for my iPhone. Did you find it? Yeah, I found it.
Starting point is 00:31:04 But you didn't, while you were driving, you found it? Yeah, I found it. But you didn't, while you were driving you found it? Yeah, I found it. I was driving probably I want to say 10 kilometers an hour. Did you, because I think I went go-karting when I was 11, 12 for my friend's birthday in Richmond.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Sure. I don't remember, like there was a gas and a brake. Never used the brake. Different pedals, different feet. No, you never used the brake. Different pedals, different feet. No, you never used the brake. Yeah, but it just wasn't necessary. You maybe let your foot off the gas. There was one person there like probably using the brake. Well, he or she.
Starting point is 00:31:37 It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. But she was driving around very, very slow. It just felt great to lap her every time. How many people, this is, we're recording on a Tuesday. How many people on a Tuesday afternoon are go-karting? Oh, upwards of six.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Really? Yeah. I would have thought you would have had the track to yourself on a Tuesday. I would have thought the go-kart place would be closed on a Tuesday afternoon. There was a surprising number, two other couples of men. Two sets of men friends, and then there was like a trio of mixed genders. Yeah, sure. Because when I went for my friend's birthday as
Starting point is 00:32:27 a kid it was the most fun yeah and uh they let us go for like 20 minutes like super long uh and i i i had the time of my life i never felt that way before and you wrote that song yeah my life about it and uh then like the rest of that summer i begged my dad to look can we go back oh just let's go back dad and he was like no then eventually we went back and this was a time when I was really getting on my dad's nerves, I think. I think I made him go see Dick Tracy twice the same summer. And we went and he took me out to the go-karts and it was not fun. It was not exciting.
Starting point is 00:33:21 They only let us go for like six minutes. Yeah, there was yeah there was a lot of unexciting parts today like it just gets repetitive it's the same
Starting point is 00:33:31 it's just and it's not turny enough that you're I don't know how do race car drivers do it like 200 laps
Starting point is 00:33:39 oh they do drugs of just turning left for 200 laps well yeah NASCAR especially yeah I mean and then you'd spin out which I did a lot cause I'm not I was just trying to Oh, they do drugs. Of just turning left for 200 miles. Well, yeah, NASCAR especially, yeah. I mean, and then you'd spin out, which I did a lot because I'm not,
Starting point is 00:33:50 I was just trying to have some fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just, you know. Tokyo drift them around corners. Outside of the time trials. Sure. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Spin it, and then you spin it, and you're going backwards on the track,
Starting point is 00:33:59 and then they yell at you, you're not allowed to go backwards. Or you just get caught on the wall because you can't reverse yeah so you're just stuck yeah and you wait and a guy has to come with a hook
Starting point is 00:34:09 yeah and he pulls you out and he has to run across the whole track to get to you so it's boring the last time I went go-karting was
Starting point is 00:34:19 for a friend's bachelor party oh and it was indoor so strip you went strip go-karting yeah we were all naked everybody was naked yeah after every Friends bachelor party. Oh. And it was indoor. So strip. You went strip go-karting. Yeah, we were all naked.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Everybody was naked. Yeah, after every pass. Dicks out go-karting. But it was, indoor go-karting is really terrible because it's. Noisy. Well, it's noisy in those fumes unless they've got like some great exhaust system, which the place did not. You're just like sick by the time you leave. You just feel sick.
Starting point is 00:34:47 And there's some guy in there who's like the guy. Yeah. He must be just high as a kite all day. Having a great time. Yeah. Great day. Loves working at go-karts. Oh, you know what I wanted to ask was,
Starting point is 00:34:59 do you drive? Yeah, I drive. I didn't mean to ask it with a European accent. Do you drive? Do you drive? Do you drive? Yeah, I drive. I didn't mean to ask it with a European accent. Do you drive? Do you drive? Do you drive? Are you ever worried? Were you worried today racing a car that you would faint?
Starting point is 00:35:13 Never crossed my mind. No. That would be a video game I'd want to play. Faint racer. Or race fainter. Either way. You're just going to crawl to a stop. I mean, you're going like five kilometers an hour max.
Starting point is 00:35:26 No, no. I heard they go upwards of 50. That's what I heard. You know what would be fun at go-karting? Oh, there's some American listeners right now that are Googling conversion rates. If you could have helmets that had a little microphone so you could like taunt your buddy. That's the best. All I could do to my friend
Starting point is 00:35:45 saw the lawyer great look him up yeah yeah yeah uh what kind of law does he do go-kart law you've been injured in a go-kart accident he's a real ambulance kid law birthday party law mostly You fell off a pony or you had a tail pinned on you that was intended for a donkey. Somebody dunked your head in the cotton candy machine. Made you with a cotton candy wig.
Starting point is 00:36:16 If you swallowed a coin that was cooked into a cake. Call Saul. Call Saul. Birthday party lawyer. Pretty good. Yeah. I like lawyer. It's pretty good. Yeah. I like that. So what did you do? Salt to taunt him?
Starting point is 00:36:29 Oh, just give him the finger. Yeah, give him the finger. Yeah, that's all you can do. You could have brought stuff with you, like some crusts to throw. Or like a banana peel. Or anything. Like a turtle shell. Anything from Mario Kart, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Oil slick. Threw my iPhone out the bottom. Take that. Yeah. Yeah, and he wipes out on it. You know, like, worth it. Yeah. Oh, man.

Starting point is 00:37:43 Like I feel like That's a disrespectful thing. Like if someone's coming at you, you should stop kicking whatever you're kicking. No matter how, how, uh, if you're really into it,
Starting point is 00:37:52 he should step aside. And then, uh, later I was kicking a new print. They're little and yellow. They're indifferent. Yeah. Um,
Starting point is 00:38:01 now, uh, I, today I was at work and, uh, uh, we, the, where I work, there's a wonderful kitchen and it's, I feel like it was intended to, the office was intended to be an apartment. Cause it's got like a dishwasher and a six burner stove and a fridge and no microwave, which is the only thing you need in an office And is there a shower in the bathroom? There's a shower in the bathroom Yeah for sure it was an apartment
Starting point is 00:38:29 But yeah so we And my co-worker Pat Kelly Past guest He was saying Because all summer long There's very few places to eat in the neighborhood But all summer long there have been food trucks every day Yeah So we just go to whatever food very few places to eat in the neighborhood, but all summer long, there have been food trucks every day.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Yeah. So we just go to whatever food truck. And he was like, in the fall, it's going to be, it's going to be microwave time. Oh, because the food trucks pack up and.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Yeah. Where do they go? They drive off a cliff. Oh, they drive off a cliff. Why do they do that every year? I think they go to the Southern Hemisphere for their summer. So they go, they get on a boat and go to Australia?
Starting point is 00:39:09 Yeah. And they make pupusas for the people of the Southern Hemisphere for once. But he, a man in his 30s, has never owned a microwave. Never lived in a house that had a microwave. Weird. And I was fascinated by this. Yeah. And he was asking us questions like when
Starting point is 00:39:29 the microwave showed up. He was like, so, in the fall, for a microwave, would you just go, you go to the, is that frozen stuff in the supermarket? That's what you use? Is that stuff any good? And we were all like, no!
Starting point is 00:39:51 You don't use it. I mean mean you can microwave frozen stuff from the supermarket but you use it for leftovers yeah microwave popcorn yeah those two things yeah and uh you know when you want uh like something a little bit warm but not so warm that you use an oven yeah when you want to melt a you want to have like a melty ice cream. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. These are the great uses of. I stopped having a microwave like two years ago, and I've only just recently got one again. But I found the only thing that changed was can't reheat coffee, can't make microwave popcorn. That was the only way it really affected me. Oh, like without, without the microwave.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Yeah. I was like, yeah, I would love to reheat this coffee, but I can't. It's fine. I've never reheated a coffee. Really? Yeah. Well, exactly. It's gross.
Starting point is 00:40:35 It is pretty gross. I throw out coffee. Sure, yeah. But have you ever had one of those, like a magic bag, like for putting around your neck? Oh, yeah. Sure. Microw those, uh, like a, like a magic bag, like for putting around your neck? Oh yeah. Sure.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Microwaves are good for that. Heat up a magic bag. Okay. Cozy. We use it to melt butter for, uh, if you're making artichokes. Yeah. Yeah. See?
Starting point is 00:40:57 What the hell is, how the hell is he even living his life? I know. I know. Three things. But also magic bags, Butter for artichokes And ice cream That's over frozen Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:09 I know But also I don't Yeah Like I don't use Our microwave that much As a kid As a Like
Starting point is 00:41:16 12 year old Cause we didn't have one The first You know In the first house I lived in Until we moved And then it was just like Microwave experiments
Starting point is 00:41:24 All day long. Like what? I'm going to microwave a bagel. Let's see how chewy it gets. My parents still have the microwave that they bought probably like when they first came out. Like it's huge. And it's advertising on the microwave that you can cook a whole Thanksgiving turkey. Like you can just put it in here.
Starting point is 00:41:43 And it is big enough for it, for sure. Ours, the day we got the microwave, my dad let me get the Batman soundtrack by print. And then you put it
Starting point is 00:41:53 right in the microwave. But not on CD. In frozen Hungry Man dinner form. That's funny. But yeah, like as a teenager i would when i used to uh take a tortilla and a hot dog and cheese and melt them all together like just melt the cheese onto them oh that was a good meal yeah i'll yeah warming up leftovers is the thing yeah just pop that in there Yeah, warming up leftovers is the thing.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Just pop that in there. Or, you know, if you're a person who's like, ah, I'm coming home late. Oh, but I made dinner for you. Well, just, you know, microwave it when I get home. That's not technically a leftover. It's like that's the same. Yeah, just reheating.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Yeah. Quick reheat. So we've explained microwaves. But did he not have one because he thought it was going to lower his sperm? No, no, no. They didn't have one growing up. Like they just didn't have one. Yeah, and then when he moved, he just never bought one. Because they don't come with an apartment, usually.
Starting point is 00:42:57 No, that's something to bring with you. Although, at one point, I had acquired several. Just like through a series of three. Yeah three yeah yeah like we have two in the place i'm living in now but i think we had to get rid of one because we had three and i was like well where are we just gonna have one auxiliary like hanging out just in case just an understudy you learn all the the times yeah oh that figuring out times, that was a big thing. Mm-hmm. When you had a microwave.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Oh, yeah, you can't trust that popcorn function. Yeah. You got, you. Oh, no, you. You'll get burned. You freestyle it. Yeah, yeah. You got to listen.
Starting point is 00:43:33 You got to use these guys, your ears. Yeah. And this guy. And you also have to. Your nose. You have to. Your heart. It's so much fun to watch.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Mm-hmm. Watch something heating up or exploding. Yeah. Did you ever explode anything on purpose? No. I would put pizza pops. Forks in there. Oh, forks.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Yeah, you throw a fork in the microwave. And it would spark up? Spark. Oh, it's beautiful. But didn't that ruin the microwave? That's what I was always told. But what does that mean? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:59 I was young. I didn't really care about it. Your parents were cooking whole turkeys. It still happened. It's still working, yeah. It doesn't ruin it. They can put a whole pumpkin in there
Starting point is 00:44:06 at Halloween and just let it cook. Just let it stand. They can put a whole horn of plenty in there and thanks to it.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Yeah, there's a lot of things you could put in there. Put a whole wreath in there at Christmas. Yeah, but we did used to look into it as it was cooking.
Starting point is 00:44:27 And my mother said, told me not to because my genitals would fall off. Would fall off? In those words. And then I said that to my sisters when they were looking in. And they were like, I don't think that works with our genitals. Probably not. They're going to just stay up in there. Yeah, I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Does it? Is it bad to look in it? I don know it'd be that bad there's i've talked to some like uh some kind of hippie-ish people who say that the microwave is like there's like all sorts of weird stuff going on in there man yeah but they're hippies and they've got all sorts of weird stuff going on in there you know yeah they're like don't put a dream catcher in there yeah don't do not try to heat up patchouli oil um but i had to give pat pointers because he brought in soup today and uh he was like he had it in a glass like a pyrex bowl with a lid and took the lid off and put it on and put it in. And I was like, you should keep the lid on, not like down.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Yeah, but just to avoid splatter. To avoid the splashing because this is a communal microwave. And he didn't know. He didn't know that. Then he stuck a hot dog on a stick and just put it in the door and just waited for it to cook oh yeah you could probably do s'mores in there yeah yeah as many microwaves as i've had i uh i've never cleaned one i really haven't oh yeah what do you do you just yeah you wipe it down yeah wipe it down you know you maybe use you maybe use like a, if you're a hippie, a vinegar water solution.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Yeah, yeah. Some patchouli oil. You heat it up earlier in the day. But yeah, only like annually. Oh, yeah. Oh, Max. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:46:20 What's going on with you, Graham? Well, I had a, like okay okay everybody's at the stage okay uh i was i did a weekend of comedy at the comedy club here the comedy mix here in vancouver with any steph with steph tolev and uh and uh chris gordon past gas and this never happens where it's like the weekend I thought the weekend was so solid because usually the late shows there's some jerko people that have been drinking for hours
Starting point is 00:46:54 comedians or patrons so and well I mean don't count them out but the whole run of the weekend was good, really good. And then that last show on Saturday was great. And I was like, am I going to have like a perfect run of shows?
Starting point is 00:47:20 And then, I swear to you, three jokes from the end of my set, one guy decides to just snuff out the streak and decides to interrupt a joke with a fact that he had wrong. And it made me so mad. Where was this guy sitting? Like two rows from the front. So you could have ignored him. Nope. He said it so loud there was no way for anybody to ignore him. He was in the middle of, I do a joke about the movie Back to the Future.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Uh-huh. Don't need money. Yeah, that's the bit. Don't take fame. I just sing the rest of the song. Don't even care about the Susan thing. and so i say in the joke that marty mcfly has to travel he travels from 1985 to 1955 and the guy goes four and i was like what and he goes four 1984 and i was like what an idiot i was like nope 1985 tried to continue with the bit. I was like, okay, giving this guy the opportunity to shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:48:29 It was 1984. He just will not let me continue. And so I threatened his life. That's the first step. That's the first step. In what words? I said, I will take you outside. I will grind your face into the pavement.
Starting point is 00:48:47 And then I will paint 1985 on the wall with your blood. It's a light threat. But any other thing in the universe, you could make me question my knowledge of it. Right. Like any other thing, I'd be like, well, maybe he's right. Yeah. And I'd move right on. But it was the one thing where'd be like well maybe he's right. Yeah. And I'd move right on but it was the one thing where I'm like you
Starting point is 00:49:08 couldn't be more wrong. Yeah. And uh Well he passed through 1984 to get there. So yeah. Went too far. Drove back. Yeah. Yeah. Anything any like I say anything else I wouldn't have been like so sure i
Starting point is 00:49:27 was right and uh and even at that he still wouldn't stop the bouncer had to come over and say like you're saying one more thing we're tearing you out of here but it wasn't like if i was the bouncer i'd be like google it yeah well i'll wait While you Google it Just as a bouncer This is a courtesy I'm doing to you I'm doing you a kindness Why do you think
Starting point is 00:49:52 That guy was so Interested in Not only derailing The show This is at the End of the show You've already been doing Really good
Starting point is 00:50:02 Really good Really good Really good Really good So why What do you think's Going through this guy's head Is he just like You know what You've already been doing really good. Really good. Really good. Really good. Really good. So why, what do you think's going through this guy's head? Is he just like, you know what? Time to fuck shit up.
Starting point is 00:50:12 You know, he's like you. He cares so much about Bank of the Future that he wants you to be right. Yeah. He doesn't know that you're right. Yeah. And he doesn't care enough to know anything about the movie. I know, but he feels strongly about it. But, I mean, it's a thing that would be so, like, it would be like, it was 87 miles an hour, you know? Right, right.
Starting point is 00:50:36 It's a signpost thing in the movie. Mm-hmm. But there's like 50 of those things in the movie, and you could name them all. Yeah, exactly. But there's like, I don't in the movie and you could name them all. Yeah, exactly. But there's like, I don't think there's anything else in my life. No, he lives in Hill City. Yeah, he lives in Valley Valley.
Starting point is 00:51:03 So yeah, anyway, so that was my, that was my almost perfect weekend. Did you jinx it? Do you think, do you think like earlier in the set you were like, I'm going to make it, guys. Yeah, yeah, nothing's, I've got one week till retirement. Look at this picture of my wife and kids. Yeah, oh, wait, they're fading, right? Like in that movie? It wasn't a picture, it was a DVD.
Starting point is 00:51:28 I saw in my neighborhood, they have, just like people outside their houses, there's like five or six of them just in various spots throughout the neighborhood. Like libraries? Like tiny little libraries that are a shelf. And sometimes people put a little window over it and you lift up and you see what books there are. And you can take them and you can drop off your old books there. Private libraries? Yeah. But like just sort of a...
Starting point is 00:51:53 Community. Community. And also like, hey, if the book never comes back, so what? Just the book. Yeah. It's not... Yeah. I find you can do that.
Starting point is 00:52:03 The joy of sex doesn't make its way back here. If those teenage boys don't return it. But sometimes people just drop off junk there. Yeah. Like there was an Us magazine. It's a book. Yeah, it's fine. And when I passed by...
Starting point is 00:52:20 Lots of newspapers. You can read them, Cain. When I passed by today, I just had half a stack, like a spindle of CD minus hours. That you could use to make a CD for your friends. Yeah, for sure. Earn some money. Charge 10 bucks. So people have sort of like the library concept has been corrupted.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Yeah. To just stuff. Here's some socks. You might want it. I don don't know box of hangers that's a tough one to get rid of nobody wants box of hang nobody not even wire hangers wiring just take them back to the dry cleaner oh is that where i got them from well you could you can say where do they come from i don't know do they say we heart our customers a little paper thing yeah those are from the dry cleaner for sure that's actually the only love letter i've ever received oh
Starting point is 00:53:11 but it is one of those things also like i noticed today after the garbage had been uh sort of picked up uh somebody left behind, the garbage men left behind a big plastic wrapper that would have been in, like, Ikea furniture thing. Why? They're very choosy. They are so choosy. These new garbage men and women. And robots.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Oh, yeah, garbage robots. But, like, isn't it just all automatic? Yeah. How did that plastic thing end up on the outside of the garbage can? Right? Nobody knows. They just refused. They didn't want to take it?
Starting point is 00:53:54 Yeah. Yeah. Now what do I do? Sometimes. Where's this library? I'll drop it off there. Sometimes. In Toronto.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Oh, yeah. They'll take it. They'll take almost anything. It's one of the best parts about Toronto. What won't they take? I've been in certain places Where you're like Cause here

Starting point is 01:06:40 king wise well I guess somebody had to give birth to the original king that started because you know chicken or egg right so somebody had to decide this baby is the next king but then why wouldn't that person be like but first i'm the king and that guy's dad uh anyways i mean well jesus was born that way and he's the king of kings. That's right. That's true. Wonderful counselor. And Budweiser, how did it become the king of beers? Somebody just put the little cap on the top.

I'm calling in an overheard. This is Ellen from Fredericksburg, Virginia in the USA. In a grassy part of my college campus, there was a student who was playing his banjo. And a young girl, maybe about 10
Starting point is 01:24:05 years old, with her mom walking their dog, rode up on her bike and stopped in front of the boy playing banjo to listen for a while, occasionally stopping her foot or clapping her feet, as the music allowed, until the mom passed by and gestured for her to come along. And as they were walking away, I heard the girl whining to her mother that she wanted to stay, saying, oh, but I wanted to stay and listen to the guy with the weird guitar. Yeah, with the
Starting point is 01:24:30 crazy round guitar. Not wrong. Yeah, I guess. It's a weird guitar. What came first, banjo or guitar? I'd like to think. Is banjo a uniquely American instrument? Did it exist in the old country? Maybe it didn't.
Starting point is 01:24:46 No, although I feel like it's a version of a banjo. There's certain chords that just translate over. Like a D chord. A ukulele is a D chord on a guitar. I don't know. I don't ever play the ukulele.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Isn't a ukulele just the top four strings of a guitar? Anyway. Right? Isn't it? Isn't a banjole just the top four strings of a guitar? Anyway. Right? Isn't it? Yeah. Isn't a banjo the same? No, a banjo is different. Oh, there's that weird sixth string that happens halfway down the neck.
Starting point is 01:25:14 Oh. So it must have happened second. Well, and also you don't really play, I guess you play chords on it, but you also just go ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling. You go ding-a-ling-a-ling. Ding-a-ling-a-ling. Yeah, yeah. Ding-a-ling-a-ling.
Starting point is 01:25:25 Really? It's a real party. It's a real party instrument. A banjo? Yeah, yeah. Somebody brings out a guitar. You're like, no, put it away. But a banjo, I'd be like, yeah, let's see where this goes.
Starting point is 01:25:40 But have you ever seen it at a party? Never. Yes. You have? But I used to live across the street from a house that was all a band. And they had banjos. A bunch of banjo players. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:51 So they would have like crazy Friday night parties. And there'd always be banjos. Friday nights with Mumford and Thumb. Basically. They were the same milieu. Right. But yeah, that feels like everybody's stomping grab a you know washboard a jug whatever we're all gonna do this but a guitar is only like let me show off i feel like the thing
Starting point is 01:26:15 whatever let me play wonderwall whatever that band is they've got like uh the guy a guy had to spend a lot of money on his banjo and everyone else was like well I'll just play this washboard I found yeah I'll just play some garbage
Starting point is 01:26:29 I'll play a jug I'll just scrunch up newspaper this tub I'll put a string on around this tub and it'll be bonk bonk

Oh, no, that's from the cookbook really is that oh yeah my friend from high school read it like that's a simple recipe yeah try to remember that remember it but don't uh make it yeah uh i think it's all in the amounts
