I'm just kidding. His baby is perfect. You can't tell. I've never met his baby. Baby's sleeping right now. Which is perfect. That's my preferred state of baby. Sleeping. Goo goo goo goo. You know,
Starting point is 00:01:37 tickle monster. And then, what do you call it? Jolly jumper. Those are the preferred states of baby. I want an adult jolly jumper. Sure. I think they like, that's kind of like,
Starting point is 00:01:49 uh, yeah. Like it's like a trampoline, but without a trampoline, but you would need large trees. You, yeah, you would need real,
Starting point is 00:01:56 like a very high ceiling. Yeah. Like, I feel like there's probably some kind of CrossFit gym in an airplane. Oh, I'm sure that lets you do a jolly. I'm surprised that there isn't something like that that travels around from fair to fair. Oh, there's sort of that bungee
Starting point is 00:02:11 baby launcher. Baby launcher for adults or for children? It's always for kids. It's for adults. Really? Yeah. Have you ever seen it's like you go in this, it's kind of like you go in a circle thing with seats and you lock in and then they literally just catapult you. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen those videos where it's like two... Oh, goo goo! Oh, goo goo! No, no, I do not like!
Starting point is 00:02:34 And the other person's just like stone flat. Or one of them faints for a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would terrify me if someone next to me just passed out and I'm like, they're dead! They're dead! Then you start going through their wallet. Let's get our story straight. You're talking to the carnies.
Starting point is 00:02:51 He said he could have his Toyota Tercel. The carnies do that once a day. They're like, don't worry, we know what to do. Did you see the one, there was a video maybe last summer of these people on one of those things before it launched. And one of the cables snapped and nobody noticed like as it was about to launch they didn't launch it they didn't launch it thank god but it was like like how long do we sit here i think that the reaction to it was weird too because like even the operator was just like oh okay you kind of walked over and they were just like sitting in there like, Oh, I don't think that was supposed to happen.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Is the ride over? Did we? There's a video of a couple, like getting like belted into a ride. And just before the ride goes off, the carny throws a bolt just at the thing. So it sounds like something's come disconnected and he goes, Whoa. And then they fly off.
Starting point is 00:03:43 It was pretty great aren't you pranking yeah I grew up in Edmonton and we had Klondike days which is the thing that's the same as Stampede the same as everything
Starting point is 00:03:51 that just like toured around and I remember it being so exciting because I was like oh my god rides it's like Disneyland comes to Edmonton
Starting point is 00:03:57 and like if you go now you're like this is the trashiest creepiest thing ever it's the dirtiest yeah it's for children but i remember like
Starting point is 00:04:05 we went on the children what's that one it's not the spaceship one where you stick to the walls it's the other one where it's like a tube and you stand in it and then it spins is it called the gravitron the one oh and then the floor drops out right so and and the bottom drops out yeah and you could watch people before you went on the ride. I remember my cousin convinced me after an hour of convincing because I was too scared to go on it. And let me just say I am an emetophobe, which is a fancy term for vomit. Uh-oh. I don't like watching people vomit, and I don't like vomiting myself.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So I remember we were watching this thing, and the ride stopped, and this lady, she looked really not well and then all of a sudden just spewed all over the ride and i like screamed and ran away i'm not going on this ride when you say the bottom drops out then the people then fall in no you stick to the wall you're stuck to the wall and like the bottom like opens up and it's like you're really stuck to the wall it drops like maybe four feet out like you're not it's not like gone for good and then like, you're really stuck to the wall. It drops like maybe four feet out. Like you're not, it's not like gone for good.
Starting point is 00:05:06 And then, and then you fall into the parking lot. Yeah. It just slowly slows down until people start spinning out of the ride. This is the most fun, but terrifying ride that we have. Guys, do we want to get to know?
Starting point is 00:05:20 Oh, absolutely. Now, Kathleen, to know oh absolutely now kathleen you just came back from like a monster tour like yeah how long how long were you gone for uh it's you make it sound longer than it was it was october 16th i left and then i just got back last wednesday which would have been like the end of november that's a long it was that's a long hitch. It was a lot of places too. Like I did Yellowknife, Halifax, St. John's. Yellowknife. What's Yellowknife like?
Starting point is 00:05:50 Yellowknife. That's in the Northwest Territory. Northwest Territories. Good job. Thanks. Well, I always get that and Whitehorse mixed up. Whitehorse is in the Yukon. Whitehorse I like better than Yellowknife have been to both.
Starting point is 00:06:00 And Whitehorse is really actually beautiful. Yeah. Yellowknife is like uh uh there's nothing to do there but drink oh yeah i get that sensation the farther north i go yeah it's like you're either on a snowmobile all the time and like going out in the woods and having adventures or you're getting drunken yeah and the people there are really fun like they want to have fun with you um like What does that mean? Well, this is what it means.
Starting point is 00:06:26 They say, would you like to go to the stripper? To one single. Yes, exactly. And I was like, oh, you mean the strippers? And they're like, no, it's just one stripper. She's also the bartender, so you can't get a drink while she's on stage. Which is, I'm not even embellishing this for humor purposes. It literally was that.
Starting point is 00:06:46 And she was really kind of scary. You have to be, to be the stripper in Yellowknife. Yeah. Like, I once went on a sort of a school tour. Yeah. And one of the towns we went to, oh, there's a stripper in town. Yeah. Like, touring.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Like. No, this wasn't a, was there like she was buff she didn't need a bouncer like you know guy would try to oh so she also was about bouncing girl bartender stripper she'll make you some hash browns if you stick around much she did it all wow she was very sweet, but it was a little scary. But yeah, there's that. And then there's a lot of bearded guys up there, which made me happy. Because I don't know if you, well, I knew, you probably know this. And so I am obsessed with bearded guys. It's a thing that I just can't handle.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Like if you have a beard, I'll overlook other flaws immediately. Like it doesn't, this is why I usually end up with guys that. In a biker gang. But yeah, it was fun. There was lots of bearded guys. It was fun, but Yellowknife is not a place I could live. What are they, miners up there? There's lots of diamond mines up there.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I met some gentlemen that were airplane mechanics. Okay. They're temporarily, they're temporarily until they can get their plane fixed. Yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:08:09 I went, and I was hanging out with those guys and I was with Kenny Robinson who's like this amazing legend in Canadian comedy and Kyle Jones
Starting point is 00:08:18 who's also a Vancouver comic and they were leaving to go back to the hotel and I was like, I'm going to stay with the engineers or whatever they are. Whatever they told me they are. And the hotel, and I was like, I'm going to stay with the engineers or whatever they are. Whatever they told me they are.
Starting point is 00:08:27 And then the next morning, Kenny was like, I'm just glad you did not get made into sausages. He thought I was going to die. Or made into, like, an airplane. Airplane. Made into a propeller. You just chopped me up. I'm testing the propellers. a propeller you just chop me up just i'm testing the propellers yeah it's not a lot of people think that it's scary for girls but if you're just if you're not idiot just don't be an idiot
Starting point is 00:08:50 yeah it's still scary for girls a little bit hashtag yes all women i guess i guess but i'm but i think i've like if you're a female comic that's been on the road a lot you have a lot more um you you've learned quickly i've learned a lot yeah because you uh you've been like going on these road tours for like how many years like at least eight years so you've seen all the things i've had like uh um hotels give away my room number to guys who said that they're my friends and then they knock on my door and i'm like this was in halifax i was like naked eating a donair because you can't eat a donair with clothes on i guess she'll ruin your clothes yeah yeah yeah but you can eat it like face down listen if you get your own fancy hotel room you can eat a donair naked if you want to but like just lie on
Starting point is 00:09:41 your stomach and eat it and then you'll just spill it on the floor. I guess. Like I've thought this through. Yeah, absolutely. Have you ever eaten a doner naked though? It is a wonderful feeling. No, I haven't. I don't know if I've eaten any food naked. What? Oh, I've eaten lots of foods naked. Yeah. Nothing,
Starting point is 00:09:59 no soups. No soups. Soup is a dangerous naked food. No soups, no stews. But you know, like just like yeah leftover pizza yeah a donair i think i wouldn't do because then i feel like then i'd have to have a shot like i feel to be like sauce everywhere but that's why like you do it because you just have a shower you don't have to wash laundry you You don't have to do laundry. Yeah, but washing my own body is harder than washing laundry. For real? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:10:27 You hated that much? There's a lot of crevices. Oh, boy. But this guy came to my room. He's like, we were talking on Tinder, and I figured out where you were staying. I'm like, how did you figure it? Well, I guess because this is where I was doing yak yaks. And then I'm like, who gave you the number?
Starting point is 00:10:43 It's the front desk girl. And I'm like, what? You can to the front desk girl and I'm like what you can't yeah hotel staff needs to be trained a bit better that's happened to me twice the first time I was like
Starting point is 00:10:52 26 in Cranbrook and two guys came to my door and it was scary actually I was like I'm a new I was very scared yeah what's your
Starting point is 00:11:00 do you usually like a lot of celebrities will have a fake name that they use. I don't, I'm not a celebrity, so I don't have one. But if I. But you should. Like if people are coming to your room.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Yeah, that's true. Let's come up with a good fake name for you to check in on. Because I think, I believe Ellis Costello's was Napoleon Dynamite. Like long before the movie. And then like, who is the, there's a, uh, Jerry Seinfeld used one and they referenced it on Seinfeld.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Oh yeah. Uh, like Nipsey Russell or something like that. Oh, maybe. Yeah. Um, buck naked.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That's a pretty, well, like, yeah. What's a good, what's a, my cousin used to like At the bar
Starting point is 00:11:45 She'd put on a fake British accent And call herself Gladys Pocket And I always liked that name Gladys Pocket Yeah why not That's perfect
Starting point is 00:11:52 Maybe I'll do that for now Well now everyone knows Well just come up with Something off air but Okay Secretly It's gonna be Gladys Pocket That is
Starting point is 00:11:59 I would I have like always wanted To get to that level And how But how does that work Like do you have to register Like the hotel Cause you always have to Give a that level. And how does that work? Do you have to register the hotel? Because you always have to give a credit.
Starting point is 00:12:08 I think that you would just tell the front desk, if anyone is asking to see me, the people that say Gladys Pocket know to see me. If they're saying, I'm here to see Kathleen McGee, then I don't know them. Yeah, so you give out the name Gladys Pocket. That's like the password. It's a password to get to my room.
Starting point is 00:12:25 To the Donair Party. To the Donair Party. Didn't they die? Yeah, they died. But luckily they had that Donair. They got made into Donair Mead. That's the thing. That's how they ate them. That's a fun skit.
Starting point is 00:12:41 The Donair Party. The worst part of that is not the nudity. It's the donair. Because you're like, you don't even want to touch the doorknob. Yeah. Yeah. But that's the thing. That's why I was alone in my room doing this in private.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Did you open the door? No, I just like, like I opened it slightly. And then I was like, no, please don't. Yeah. Please, please don't do this. Go back in time and don't do this. But as far as Tinder etiquette goes. You don't just stalk someone.
Starting point is 00:13:13 No, yeah, you need an invite. Yeah. And it's hard because I'm a very honest person. So people are like, why are you in Halifax? And then I'll tell them. I tried to do this thing where I'm just a writer, and then they would ask me what I write, and I'd be like, I can't keep up this lie. What you have to do is you have to come up with a job
Starting point is 00:13:30 that's plausible and slightly interesting, but not interesting enough. On Tinder? Yeah. You need to do that. I have to get off Tinder. Yeah, maybe. That's what I need to do.
Starting point is 00:13:44 What would be that job? I think something that people would sort of ask no follow-up questions about would be consultant. Yeah, so when I come back from doing a show and I'm taking a cab from the airport. They always want to ask you. They always want to ask. So I say, oh, I was out of town for work. And they say, what do you do? And then I say, I'm a technical writer and they go what's that and i'm like i write uh instructions oh and they go like what do you mean i'm like you know you get something from
Starting point is 00:14:15 ikea you're just going this big but you've got you've got you've created a job that invites so many follow-up yeah like i don't want to follow-up questions. You're right. Consultant, but then they're like, what are you, consultant? Then you've got to. You just say IT. Oh, yeah. IT is good. Yeah, that's good. That's what all the guys on Tinder say they do.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Are they all lying to me? Well, they just don't want any questions. Yeah, that's true. They've just figured it out. Yeah, because no girls would be like, oh, that's interesting. Tell me more about IT. Now, on Tinder, do you put your comedian on Tinder? Yeah, I just finally did.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I don't know. What am I supposed to do? That's what I am. And the thing is, it's so hard dating. I just can't. I can't. I just can't find a guy that's just normal. Like a normal dude?
Starting point is 00:14:57 That will just be normal, that has a job, that doesn't have- Has a huge beard. Has a big beard, that doesn't have a bunch of kids. Seagull dads love me oh really oh my god so what like how soon
Starting point is 00:15:11 in the conversation does it is it revealed that the the dude is a single dad right up front like hey
Starting point is 00:15:19 some of them are really up front I've been on dates where all of a sudden they're like well I gotta pick up my two kids later I'm like oh okay thank you
Starting point is 00:15:24 yeah it's not that I don't want is that a weird reverse poop euphemism yeah I gotta go pick up the kids from the pool gonna go grab them gonna go grab them put them back where they came from I don't know
Starting point is 00:15:44 I just think single dads are into me and it's not that i am like it's not that i'm totally anti-child i just know that my maturity level my income level and the job that i do is not conducive to having children at this point in my life like i always said if like i had like successes and i was had stable money coming in i would have kids i like like kids. Yeah. But I just like, I don't. Well,
Starting point is 00:16:09 and it's also something different when it's not even, it's not your kid. It's not even the kids part that I, I don't like. It's that it's always, there's an X in it and she will always be there. And it doesn't matter how cool they say their X is. They're always not that cool. Who do you think the coolest X is?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Oh, I was going to say Jennifer Lopez, but that's probably not true at all. What do you mean? I don't know. She's a fiery Latina lady. Although, you know who's probably a shittier ex than Jennifer Lopez? Ben Affleck. I bet he's a
Starting point is 00:16:40 really shitty ex. He seems like a guy who should never have gotten married. Yeah, I think he's like a guy that should never have gotten married. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's like a Frank the Tank. Yeah. You know, like he needed to just always be out on the prowl. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Like you can't tame everyone. Yeah. When I was thinking of the worst exes, I could only think of X-Men. Yeah. Halle Berry is an awful ex. Who's the one? Is it Rogue no
Starting point is 00:17:05 who takes all your powers when she touches your face that would be a tough act and a Paquin yeah that's most exes yeah that's most exes
Starting point is 00:17:14 just like the stories that I hear about these women and like some of them have trapped these guys with babies and then I and I want to be like
Starting point is 00:17:22 a feminist and be like I appreciate all women but I fucking hate am I allowed to swear on this yeah, and I want to be like a feminist and be like, I appreciate all women, but I, I fucking hate, am I allowed to swear on this? Yeah. They really don't like women that manipulate like that.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Cause it wrecks it for the rest of us. But, uh, in defense of women, men are capable of wrecking it. I'm not saying that. No, no,
Starting point is 00:17:40 no. But I'm talking about in the, in the way of like, uh, uh, like getting into a relationship with somebody, like trapping with a baby. That's my biggest pet peeve is baby trapping. Oh, man, I hate, oh, boy, I've been trapped with so many babies.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Do you ever go on Tinder and you find out the guy's got a baby or a child, and are you ever like, put the kid on? I want to talk to the kid. I want to chat with the kid. No, I avoid contact with the kid no I avoid contact with the kids at all costs I don't want to meet a kid until like
Starting point is 00:18:09 I'm like I've dated this guy for like six months or something yeah no that's because it would be very weird what if his kid is like
Starting point is 00:18:17 hot no I was going to be like I couldn't think of like a talent kid like Shirley Temple yeah like Bobby Fisher?
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah. Can your kid teach me how to play chess? I got to pick up my genius kid. I don't like when guys have pictures of themselves with their kids on Tinder. Gross. Yeah, that happens a lot. That's weird. And I've seen women do that way more.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Like my ex is on Tinder too and he'll send me. Is he cool? Me and my ex are like like, the best friends ever. But he's, like, a cool ex. He's a cool ex. Very cool ex. Well, I have a feeling. What?
Starting point is 00:18:52 Well, I mean, a lot of people say they have cool exes, but it turns out that they're really a Ben Affleck. No, no, no. You know what? I think the reason why we're such good friends is because when we started dating was when I came back. I was in Los Angeles for like six months and I came back over Christmas or after Christmas to work. And then we just kind of hooked up at a party one night and we were just like, oh, this is gonna be a fun like week or two until you go back. And then I got turned away at the border. So I cried in his bed for a week.
Starting point is 00:19:23 And he was like, I just thought this was going to be a week long thing. Exactly. I just got to change the sheets. She keeps wetting them with her tears. But then like we just, so we just dated. And then, but we both knew that I didn't want to live in Edmonton. Like this was just a temporary thing. I know, but that's the city slogan.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Stop. I'm so tired of people trashing Edmonton. They've got a great mall. No, no, it's not even the mall. Nobody in Edmonton gives a shit about the mall. There are some little nooks and crannies. Now, that's not true. Well, some people do.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Some people do. But a lot of people hate the mall in Edmonton. Yeah, well, you got your White Ave. You got your Jasper Avenue. There's some cool little areas in Edmonton. It's like a cool, if you know the right people and the right places to go, it's a good city. I don't deny it's the worst place in the winter. That's why I moved to Vancouver. That's why Vancouver was chosen.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I would never live in Toronto again for the same reason. The weather in Toronto is disgusting. Summer and winter is awful. Yeah, extreme. Extreme conditions. Too hot, too cold. I know. But that fall. Oh, boy. Extreme conditions. Too hot, too cold. I know. But that fall.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Woo. Oh, boy. Yeah. Now, what does this ex do that has anchored him in Edmonton? Why does he just move out here and you guys live happily ever after? He has a 16-year-old daughter. Booyah. That's why he's anchored there.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And I'm fine with it. That's what happened. You really do have a type. I don't pick those ones, though. I don't know. I think single dads see me and like, this girl's fun. And she'll smoke pot with me. And she won't get mad if I smoke pot.
Starting point is 00:20:57 It'll be cool. Well, that is a type. It'll be cool, I guess so. I attract the wrong guys. I know I do. I know I do. And he's a bouncer. And stripper.
Starting point is 00:21:08 And stripper. And he has a magnificent beard. Yeah, I've seen photos of this gentleman. Yeah. I was playing guitar the other day, and I was thinking, like... Had a party. People were asking you to stop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Are you the acoustic guitar guy that shows up? Yeah, no, I moved into a... Does anybody want to hear Thriller? A freshman dorm. And like, hey, what's up? You want to hear Thriller? On acoustic guitar? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I only know the Vincent Price part. The funk of 40,000 years and it's like what do you call that it's a kumbaya and thriller together mashup
Starting point is 00:21:53 yeah mashup yeah you do this part but I was thinking like the reason there's so many like bands nowadays
Starting point is 00:22:01 that make music for like dudes in their 30s oh yeah that have beards is because when you're like playing a banjo, looking down, you have like six chins. Yeah. You need a beard to cover that.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Oh, beards hide like, like I've seen pictures of guys when they've shaved and I've been like, oh my God. Yeah. I would never talk to you in real life. In real life, but in beard life. But in beard life, you are the hottest. Oh, I have beard life tattooed on my abs. You can't see it because of my long beard.
Starting point is 00:22:31 There's some guys that take the beard thing too far. And they're on Instagram. Yeah, this is in right here. You don't do that kind of stuff, though. Do you use beard oil? I did for a while. And you stopped? Yeah, I ran out of it.
Starting point is 00:22:43 And I was like, eh, I don't know. You can use coconut oil. Yeah, or all the Sikh dudes that I've talked to. They have the nicest beer. A little bit of olive oil. And that's all you need. Just a little dab of olive oil. But then you smell like you're constantly ready to cook.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Well, that's true. Yeah, that's true. Ladies like that. Somebody's ready to cook. Yeah, chefs are sexy too. Yeah, I could see. Yeah, that's true. Ladies like that. That's what... Somebody's ready to cook. Yeah, chefs are sexy too. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that.

Starting point is 00:23:40 I watched Chopped. It was a kid edition and the eldest kid What happens in Chopped. It was a kid edition. And the eldest kid. What happens in Chopped? You get a basket of ingredients and then you have to make a dish. Yeah. Just. I don't think with just those ingredients, but it has to include all those ingredients.

Starting point is 00:24:31 they like they do all these like like personal interviews like oh my so I'm doing this for my son he has like epilepsy and blah blah blah so Bob and David
Starting point is 00:24:39 did this thing where there's like I'm doing this to prove that single dads everywhere can still do stuff and then the next to him is like I can't remember what his thing is and then the third the woman is a where there's like, I'm doing this to prove that single dads everywhere can still do stuff. And then next to him is like, I can't remember what his thing is.
Starting point is 00:24:49 And then the third, the woman is a, she's, I'm deaf. And like, so it's like, they keep one-upping and then the single dad is always like, oh, my kids are going to die. And I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:59 because he just, I do remember. Like, it's like a total, but that's just the way like all those shows are. And that's the way single dads are. I don't want to disparage single dads, but, yeah, I've just been around a lot of them. Of course, they're your type.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Stop. What is he doing? He's being condescending to me. No, not at all. No, no, I'm being cool. He's being cool. He's being a cool dad. I watched this Chopped Kids last night that can't be
Starting point is 00:25:27 what it's called chopped kids edition chop a kid chop it's something about kids and one of the kids and i laughed so hard and i shouldn't have because i don't know if the if her dad lived or died i don't know but she went when when she was telling her story of why she's on chopped she said my dad fell off a ladder i was like oh man so now i gotta provide for the family because my dad fell off a ladder i was just like oh man like that's it's not the funniest thing like but what if your what if your dad died like an elephant sat on your dad's head how would that happen i don't know he's like working at the circus zookeeper dad lived a dangerous life you're like you're saying why you're on the show and it's just like
Starting point is 00:26:19 the funniest reason the funniest funniest tragedy like my dad got run over by a blimp. Monster truck ran over my dad's penis. Would that kill a man? Certainly. Slow him down. It's a start.
Starting point is 00:26:39 It would kill him on the inside. Oh, sure. Have you watched the... I do like the MasterChef Junior, the one with Gordon Ramsay. Yeah. He's very nice to the inside. Sure. Have you watched the, my, I do like the MasterChef Junior, the, the one with Gordon Ramsay. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:56 You're a crouton. And the kids are going to be like, it's like, I'm at home. I don't like this show. My dad fell off a ladder. But he can just turn that on and off. He is apparently a really nice guy, and that's all for show.
Starting point is 00:27:06 But also, he's a passionate man. He's a single dad. It's irresistible. We do not need to call this episode the single dad episode. But there were parts where the judges, you know, these were 10-year-old kids. On Baby Chopped? On Baby Chopped. Baby Chopped. Baby Bok Choi Chopped. There were parts where the judges, you know, these were 10-year-old kids. On baby chopped? On baby chopped. Baby chopped.

Starting point is 00:27:38 Do they ever make, like, peanut butter and jelly? It's just like some slacker kid. One kid who obviously is like, yeah, I made peanut butter and jelly and then I used a cookie cutter to put it in the shape of a Christmas tree. Well, yeah, it wouldn't be a surprise. They're children. Like, what would you do? That's when the judges like that they have to go like, oh, it would have been nice if
Starting point is 00:27:58 they had, you know, blanched this or whatever. I'm like, what kids, kids can't blanch. The amount of knife work that the kids are trusted with. That's scary. How old are these kids? The eldest was 11. What? And the youngest was 9.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Wow. 9, 11. Yeah, exactly. You see where I'm going with this. Did you see the great grandma cook-off? It was like a thing. I watched it on the plane. Oh, this sounds great.
Starting point is 00:28:22 It was the best. They cooked their grandmas after they got run over by a reindeer? Yes, yes. It was very difficult to get some of them in the pans. Some of those grandmas are big. Some of them are small, but some are big. No, they were... Grandmas come in all sizes.
Starting point is 00:28:38 That's a good book. Yeah, it's a dove commercial. Some grandmas are big. Some are small, but some are big. Let's focus dove commercial. Some grandmas are big. Some are small, big. Some are big. Let's focus on them. But this was like, it was like these grandmas came in and they were doing Thanksgiving themed things. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:55 And the one that won was like this bigger lady from Louisiana, big white hair, just so funny. I'm like like this woman better get her own cooking show because they'd be like they'd be like tasting the food and they'd be like well there's a little
Starting point is 00:29:11 too much salt in this and then she's like meh probably she was just like meh I don't give a she's like it's probably disgusting I don't care I don't care
Starting point is 00:29:18 and then she won and it was the best and I wish I could remember her name right now like the food wasn't great but her attitude she was she won because of like how she was well you eat you know It was the best, and I wish I could remember her name right now. Like, the food wasn't great, but her attitude was out of this world. She won because of, like, how she was.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Well, you eat with your eyes first. Yeah, that's what they always say. And then you eat with your ears when you hear the chef criticizing the food. Or when you hear somebody else. I hate hearing people eat. Yeah. Not fun. No, it's not fun.
Starting point is 00:29:43 And it's kind of weird that we eat together as people. We should all just eat alone in shame? Yeah, I don't know. That's how I usually eat, naked in my hotel room. Naked and afraid. Yeah. That's how I eat, naked and afraid. That's why, like, Jim, my ex ex thinks that the government watches him masturbate
Starting point is 00:30:06 because on his camera whose job is that that's what I said I'm like you think that taxpayer dollars are going towards us and I'm like look at the government
Starting point is 00:30:15 even if the government wanted to watch him masturbate number one it's less lonely but like even the new government now it's more artistic this government
Starting point is 00:30:24 is more artistic so they might actually be watching. Yeah, yeah. But I just don't want them to watch me eat in front of my laptop. Because the way
Starting point is 00:30:31 your face looks when you eat is horrifying. Just put a band-aid over your camera. Like how often are you using your camera? But that's what he did.
Starting point is 00:30:38 But I was like why is that there? And he goes because I don't want the government to watch me drink. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Starting point is 00:30:43 I'll get a magazine. Yeah, I'm going want the government to watch me jerk off I'm like yeah I guess like you're right I'll get a magazine yeah I'm going off the grid you're like searching on some like porn one day you find satellite surveillance of yourself yeah that is a nightmare hot government porn
Starting point is 00:30:59 hot government porn oh it's totally but it's we joke but there's absolutely guys who have put videos of them and their girlfriends
Starting point is 00:31:08 that their girlfriends do not know about. Yeah, but that's super illegal now. It should be. It is. It's super illegal. There's this big thing now
Starting point is 00:31:15 that if you share a nude picture of someone without their consent, you can be charged with a criminal thing. Good, good. Yeah, that seems like
Starting point is 00:31:23 it's weird that that was ever not on the books as a law, but. Well, you know, cause it took a while cause I, smartphones were new and then all of a sudden all this stuff. Now everybody's snapping pictures of everything,
Starting point is 00:31:35 sending it to people. That's true. Yeah. I like, it's weird when you see someone with their phone out in the bathroom and you're like, this is where the penises are in the bathroom. And you're like, this is where the penises are. Yeah. This is in the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:31:51 This is where most of our swiping and wiping happens. Yeah. And there's some restaurants and bars that have unisex bathrooms. I hate that. Well, especially now if you can bring your phone anywhere. Yeah, that's true. I hate that because guys piddle on the floor. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:32:07 but also like, they do. They dribble all over the floor. I'm just making the word piddle. I know. That's what puppies do. Oh, you should put,
Starting point is 00:32:18 if it's a unisex bathroom, they should put newspapers on the floor. They should also, dogs should be allowed too. Oh, absolutely. Unispecies bathroom. So it's like a urinal and then a toilet
Starting point is 00:32:29 and then a fire hydrant. Everyone is included here. Yeah, everybody is allowed. Oh, I hate that. In our one gross closet. And then you open up the fire hydrant, clean everything. You just turn on the water.
Starting point is 00:32:46 The floor gets... That's at the end of the night. But then all these kids come running in. It's hot outside. Yeah, sure. Fine. Why not? Let's play in the urine. Well, anyone playing in the street is playing in urine anyway. Is there just urine filling the streets everywhere?
Starting point is 00:33:02 I mean... I guess dog pee. And if you're in a city where people are like dancing around a fire hydrant, that stuff's been peed on. Yeah, that's true. That is true. There's more pee everywhere than we realize. And also, I was like talking to somebody last night, and I was like, well, when you think about North America
Starting point is 00:33:20 or the Western world in general, you always say like that's the developed world. We're ahead. We're with the terrorists. Yeah, exactly. But access to public bathrooms is not like is not what I would expect a forward thinking, you know, society. To think of. Yeah, like between here and downtown, I can only think of one public bathroom. Oh, society. To think of. Yeah. Like I, we like between here and downtown, I can only think of one public bathroom.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Oh, okay. Don't they have outdoor ones here now too? They have like these super scary pods that you can go in. They had those when I was in, in grade nine, I went to France with my grade nine class and they had like outdoor public toilet things
Starting point is 00:34:05 and you paid like, I don't know, 10 francs, you just go in. But they would just open after 15 minutes. Oh, so you really had to be on your game. You had to be on your game,
Starting point is 00:34:14 or. What game is this? It's 15 minutes long. Well, I don't know. I know some dudes that take a while in the bathroom, but this is like for peeing purposes. But give them a deadline.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Yeah. Like, I worked fast for the deadline and it would count down 15 minutes in open time you're just you're just just dancing
Starting point is 00:34:31 in front of them you're just with a shirt off pooping on the toilet in the middle of Paris what a beautiful city oh dare to dream what a beautiful city
Starting point is 00:34:39 but yeah just be Charlie just be BP pretty good okay pretty good we've had we've had some we've had a lot But yeah. Just be Charlie. Just be PP. Pretty good. Okay. Pretty good. We've had a lot of fun here today.

Well, a couple days ago, my baby Mar, had her first just like throw up all day event. Oh, no, I don't like this. This is another reason why I'm really terrified to have children because I see the horror stories on Facebook. My kid
Starting point is 00:35:15 puked everywhere and people have been posting pictures now. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, if you can catch it the moment it comes out, it's a pretty good snap. What happened? Were you there? Was your wife there? Yeah, I was.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I bore the first brunt of it. Yeah. Was it one of these, I'm doing, you're the airplane? No, no, no. And then it's like, fuel dump. Oh, God. That's my nightmare. That's my nightmare.
Starting point is 00:35:40 I'll try to keep this as tasteful as possible. It was just like a lot. It was just a whole day. It was just a whole day. It's like a fire hose, right? No, it wasn't. It was sort of just like opening her mouth and then just dropped out. She wasn't even like, she didn't even notice herself being sick. Like she was in a good mood and then barfed and then was still in a good mood.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Oh, yeah. While it was happening, she's like, what is this? What is happening? But like, we didn't throw her off her game at all. Yeah, I wish I had that. If I throw up, that's the day. Oh, fold up shop. But.
Starting point is 00:36:13 We're going home. We're done here. What ended up happening was after the entire day of this, well, by the end of the day, she was like, I'm done throwing up. Yeah, yeah. Her good mood was over why does this keep happening and when i was like because i keep giving you yogurt oh really no uh what did you yeah that's it's just the weirdest like you can't communicate with the person really and like how old is she she's 14 months okay so you can't be like you can't
Starting point is 00:36:42 have any food right now we We're just giving you liquids. Yeah, yeah. Clear liquids. Clear liquids so we can figure out what's going on. Yeah. And then a few days later, it was my birthday. Yep. Happy birthday, Dave.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Yeah, Graham got me this Taylor Swift birthday card. I approve. I approve. And I don't know why it gets better than... And a great, just hang out with my family all day, went out to a nice dinner, ate too much. And then I haven't eaten too much in... I remember when I was a kid, I would just go nonstop. And then like I'd feel full and I'd still eat. And also it's worth noting that when Dave eats,
Starting point is 00:37:28 he eats so fast. Yeah. You're a fast eater. Yeah. Like he'll be done before everybody's halfway through. I get a lot of attitude from waiters and waitresses who are like, they come by to check on your meal. Like,
Starting point is 00:37:43 oh, how is everything? And I'm done. And then, then they have to be sassy at me. Right. Oh yeah. Like when they're like, they come by to check on your meal, like, oh, how is everything? And I'm done. And then they have to be sassy at me. Right. Oh, yeah. Like when they're like, how's the first few? But what?
Starting point is 00:37:53 So you liked it then? No, this is just the speed I eat. Yeah, yeah. And then, so yeah. But like, I haven't done that in years where I'm full and I continue to eat. I do that once a week. Me too.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Yeah. And then the rest of the night, I was just like, I got to go to bed. Yeah. Lying in bed and then trying to fight it off. And then, yeah. You barfed too? Yeah. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Yep. Family barf. The family that barfs together. Good Lord. This is the puke house. I know. The family that scarfs together barfs together. That's true!
Starting point is 00:38:25 We did it! Yeah, so it's just been, just that, like, feeling of fighting it and then... See, I will fight it to, like, extreme. Like, I will just sit there in pain and I will swallow and, yeah, it's just...
Starting point is 00:38:42 And, yeah, I'm... I can't do it. I don't swallow barf i did once i was i started to get sick i'm like nope this is not anything and i know i know that you'll feel better what yeah i know i'm the same way like the the reasoning of just like but it's so unpleasant but the only thing that really makes it okay is that abby my wife uh will, she'll recap it for me the next day. She'll tell me how loud it was. The swearing that I do. While I'm fighting it off,
Starting point is 00:39:13 I'll just sit there being like, oh no, oh God. Nobody likes, well, I've heard people, I like it. You like throwing up? What's wrong with you? That's not weird, though.
Starting point is 00:39:25 A drunk throw up is different than a sick throw up. If someone is drunk around me and they barf, it's gross, but I can handle it. But if it's someone that's like, I know they're sick, I'm like, okay, now I'm going to get sick. That's a thing. I think I was traumatized, too, as a little kid because I was the kid that was easy to barf. What does that mean? Well, I'm easy to barf. No, she was voted easiest to barf what does that mean well i'm easy to know she was voted easiest
Starting point is 00:39:45 guys weren't that into me um but no like apparently i had a short esophagus if that's a thing a short esophagus gentlemen headline tinder when i was kid, it was a problem. But now I'm the most popular girl in the world. I don't know why. But I used to like, if I would get upset, I would barf. Like one time we were walking through the giant mall in Edmonton. And we were going to meet my mom at Canadian Tire.
Starting point is 00:40:20 And I was with my dad and my brother at the other end of the mall. And it's a big mall. And my dad's like six foot five. He's big long legs and he was moving fast and I was this chubby little probably about seven year old and I was trying to keep up and I just started crying because I couldn't keep up and I'm like I have short legs and then uh we get into the Canadian tire and I'm bawling and bawling and bawling I just barfed everywhere or like I got sent to my room once
Starting point is 00:40:48 and I had one of those cries where you know when you're a kid and you're just like you're crying so hard you're gagging I had that kind of cry and I was like
Starting point is 00:40:56 I hope my mom and dad get hit by a train or something like that I hope my dad's penis gets squished by a monster shark. That's what I've always wanted for a man. I hope my dad falls off a ladder.
Starting point is 00:41:10 And I puked all over myself. And I sat in my puke until my mom came and got me. And then she felt so bad. Well, she comes and she goes, my God, what happened? I'm like, I puked. And then she goes, why didn't you come get me? I'm like, you told me not to move. Because kids take everything literally.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like kids and robots. Yeah. Kids and robots. Yeah. Because kids don't develop sarcasm until they're way later on.
Starting point is 00:41:38 That's why I think if I had a kid, I would have very sarcastic children. Yeah. Because I'm very sarcastic. You teach them to eye roll. Oh, yeah. Oh, they learn that. sarcastic. You teach them to eye roll. Oh, yeah. Oh, they learn that. My five-year-old nephew eye rolls.
Starting point is 00:41:48 And I remember when I would eye roll, it would make my mom mad. But when he does it to me, I'm like, I know why she hated it so much. It's the most obnoxious thing ever. I know. You're five. You don't know shit. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Yeah, you think that joke was shit? I'll show you some shitty jokes. Oh, he told me. I'll give you something to eye roll about. He told me I wasn't being very funny, and I was like, excuse me? Yeah. Your aunt is it for a living. She is funny all the time.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Oh, man. But, yeah, so we've had the house has just had like- Filled with barf. Well, did your wife get sick too, or was yours just a food related? No, mine was probably the fact that I had a bunch of barf on me. Yeah. I just went and saw The Room. You know, not The Room, Room.
Starting point is 00:42:32 The Room is that really bad one. But Room is the one about the girl that got abducted and then she had her abductor's baby. Oh, yeah. Was that a spoiler? No. It's a real life thing. Even on IMBB, it says that they get out eventually. It's part of the movie.
Starting point is 00:42:49 But there's a part where she's trying to figure out a way to get the guy to take the kid out so that the kid can run because he's five. And so she puts this hot cloth on his forehead to make him look like he has a fever. And then she starts gagging herself and she pulls barf out and puts it on him. She goes, he's like, what are you doing? And she goes, I have to make you smell sick. And I was just like, oh, this is horrifying. Yeah, I don't like hearing it. And I've been talking about it for 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:43:18 It's really, really bad. But it was a good movie. But boy, was it. Like, I was going to go do a comedy show after. And I was after that. I was like, no, I'm going to go do a comedy show after and I was after that I was like no I'm going to go home and be glad I wasn't abducted when I was 17
Starting point is 00:43:28 I hate it when I'm on Tinder and I find out the guy's got a kid with a woman he's abducted yeah those are the worst dads yeah and usually

Starting point is 00:43:47 No. No. It's hard to... I hung up a non-champion. Yeah, it's not a fun place. Yeah. Anyway, the house has been covered in... Vomit. Not vomit.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Towels. Like, every... The couch has just got towels all over it. In case she barfs on them? Yeah, I think we're past it, but we had a few days of just like, let's just keep them down for a while. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And like everything we had planned, it was

Starting point is 00:49:32 Yeah, well. They're all over the place. I'm ruthless. You live on the edge. I was in Winnipeg all last week. Oh, yeah. Sick as a dog. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Yeah, so on the road like cold sick though not yeah yeah like super uh chest cold like to the point that i couldn't get through whole sentences without going into like a hacking fit so that's great for doing an hour of comedy oh no rumors yeah yeah so it was like the week was fine. It all worked out. I spent all my time just lying in bed feeling awful. But you could whisper those shows because it's rumors. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Psst. Yeah. That was so dumb. I'm sorry. Have you heard about Sarah Palin? Graham does a lot of political jokes from seven years ago. You have to go to rumors and just do a bunch of rumor jokes. Have you guys heard this one?
Starting point is 00:50:26 Have you guys? Yeah. And I, yeah, like I survived it. Because, you know. Because you're a survivor. You're not going to give up. You're God. I'm going to work harder.
Starting point is 00:50:39 We need lots of chowder. Have you ever had to go on the road and be sick as a dog? I was. I did a three-month tour at the beginning of the year, and I stayed with my old roommate, Allison Dorr, in Toronto. And I was like, I got in on April Fool's Day. Or did you? I did. April Fool's.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Joking. I'm not really here. Actually, I've been at the airport all day. April Fool's. Joking. I'm not really here. Actually, I've been at the airport all day. No one's picked me up. I got a ride in a limo with a kangaroo that day. And that is not an April Fool's thing. I just have this eccentric, awesome dude in Toronto that likes to give me limo rides with weird things. Kangaroo drove.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yeah. Drove right into a pool. I was feeling really sick when I got there. And then I got some sort of stomach thing. It was not coming out the front end. Don't worry. But it was just like. That's not better.
Starting point is 00:51:30 No. Like, this is gross. But like, I couldn't get it going for a week. Like, I lost 10 pounds. I couldn't eat anything. I didn't know what was. I thought I was dysentery. And were you having to do shows this whole time?
Starting point is 00:51:41 Yeah. And you know that bubbly feeling. It's terrible. It's a terrible feeling. It's hard when you're sick doing a show when you're sick yes is the craziest feeling because everybody there this is their night yeah out and uh and the whole time you're on stage you're just like you're fucking sweat like i sweat through my shirt yeah the first night i was like i don't know how like sweat was getting in my eyes like i was like i feel like i sweat through my shirt yeah the first night i was like i don't know how like sweat was getting in my eyes like i was like i feel like i'm dying you wear a headband have you
Starting point is 00:52:10 ever missed a show because you were sick what's that have you ever missed a show because you're sick no me neither i've never missed a shot and i like i want to never miss a show but like but you know you're talking about paid shows you would skip out on a oh oh on a spot yeah yeah yeah but yeah like there's kind of nothing you can do if you've booked a week somewhere. Yeah. And you get sick like the day or two days before you go. You can't cancel. What did you take?
Starting point is 00:52:35 Did you take any remedies? I just cough syrup, like constantly cough syrup just to just to keep it so that I could talk. And so you get turnt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. There are two things I learned about sickness. Because I use cold effects. And a lot of people say it's a placebo.
Starting point is 00:52:52 But I don't think it's a placebo. I've used it and it goes away. But also, a friend who's a homeopath, which I know is your biggest fear. I don't like this rumor that you're trying to start. No, he's a homeopath. He's a homeopath. I think I was afraid of clowns until I remedied it this summer. By having sex with them.
Starting point is 00:53:12 I did emergent therapy. You had sex with a clown? No, I did. I went on a date with one, though. What? Yeah. Was she in makeup? Yeah, two of them.
Starting point is 00:53:20 What? Yeah, and they were both in makeup. What happened? We went for a milkshake. Shut up. That's the coolest ever. And I just, I really did a lot of clown immersion therapy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:29 I'm not scared of clowns anymore. Well, I don't ever want to do vomit immersion therapy. That's never going to happen. You're going in the tank. Maury. Terrible. Terrible. Rude you.
Starting point is 00:53:43 But take, this is what the homeopath said Overdose on vitamin D And I don't mean like Take some vitamin D Like the literal pill Vitamin D Overdose on it Just take like six a day
Starting point is 00:53:54 Oh really And like You can't like If your body doesn't use it It'll just pee it out Right So nothing bad will happen But it really worked
Starting point is 00:54:01 Because that's what happened to me I had a really sore throat And so I just took a ton of vitamin d more than normal and um she's balancing between real and yeah exactly it's the only vitamin that they give to you in inches i took it as a suppository. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, yuck. So you were sick. I was sick.
Starting point is 00:54:29 It was great. And then meanwhile, I'm in Winnipeg and I get this Facebook message from a guy whose name is Graham Clark. And he has Facebook messaged all of the Graham Clarks on Facebook and created this. He's like, hi, my name is Graham Clark. I noticed there aren't that many of us on Facebook. So I thought I'd send a message to all the Graham Clark. And then the whole week I was just in this like huge conversation thread. With a bunch of Graham Clarks? Yeah, from like all over the world, all different.

Starting point is 00:56:14 That's true. No more monogram changes. Oh, yeah. So all of your monogramming can stay the same. That is like a big expense for me. Monogramming? Yeah, well, no, but having them changed. Going back down to my...

I have a whopper. All right. I've wanted to tell this story for a long time because it was pretty, I took a greyhound from Calgary to Edmonton. Yeah. That's a fine route.
Starting point is 01:02:15 This was pre-beheading, I think. Oh, no, I think this was just right after beheading. But isn't there, there's the, what do you call it? The red arrow? The red arrow. Yeah. I think I, I didn't know. The red arrow is just like a direct The red arrow. The red arrow. Yeah. I think I, I didn't know. The red arrow is just like a direct super nice bus.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Leather seats. Yeah. Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi. It goes between Edmonton and Calgary. Yeah. Yeah. But I was on this Greyhound bus and I was sitting in front of these two dudes.
Starting point is 01:02:38 And from what they were talking about, I was like, oh, they're just two guys that were on the rigs. They're going back to their girlfriends. Because one of them said said called my old lady and told her to get her nails done i'm coming home and i was like giggling and then it turned out that they were like just released from prison in lethbridge oh so then they were talking about like all this prison stuff and i remember i was live tweeting everything that they were saying. And I remember it was just like, I was a little scared, but very intrigued. And I was trying to listen.
Starting point is 01:03:11 But you know, when you're trying to listen, you don't want people to know that you're listening. Especially former inmates. You keep holding their hand up to your ear and you're like, oh, no, this is a medical. Yeah. I just need to, my doctor said I need to put a glass up to my ear. I really wanted to get in on the conversation asking what they did but they were like talking about uh being in jail we didn't do it yeah but they were they like oh that sucked when we're in jail oh boy so happy
Starting point is 01:03:36 i'm out yeah i'm glad i'm out this is that just this maybe isn't a big whopper that i thought it was gonna be but i just remember that line like i, like, a tomboy lady get her nails done. Get her nails done. Coming home. So I think that might be why I always get my nails done. I wonder what it's like.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Maybe now, like, I think guys like a nice nail. But like, guys do like a nice nail. Like, do guys notice nails?
Starting point is 01:03:57 And a prisoner likes a nice nail file. Oh yeah, sure, bake it into a cake. Maybe that's why they like nails because they're like,
Starting point is 01:04:04 this bitch has got files Yeah Bitch has got files What Like if you've been In prison for 10 years Yeah You wouldn't know
Starting point is 01:04:15 What Twitter is So someone could live tweet What you're doing And you'd be like What is this Bugged computer Yeah Why
Starting point is 01:04:21 Do you want to be ICQ friends? How long has this guy been friends? Yeah, they revert back to. But I think one of them had actually been in prison a few times and he had said something like, it's getting better there. It's getting better. It makes them, they've taken my suggestions in the suggestion box. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Good. Good. Good. Yeah. It can't be easy. No. They're not all bad people. No, they're not.
Starting point is 01:04:47 Well, that's kind of why they're there. You are a bad person if you go to prison. Well, not necessarily. What if you didn't do it? Yeah. Well, then you got a bad lawyer. Yeah, absolutely. Well, not everyone can afford a good lawyer.
Starting point is 01:04:58 That's true. That's true. Look, I'm on the side of all the convicts. Yeah. I'm afraid of spiders, but I love convicts. Yeah. Dave's done a lot of shows in prison. He did Folsom Prison.

Starting point is 01:05:26 It's a similar shot. Similar story. I don't know who came first, the chicken or the egg. Well, yeah. Yeah, Dave and Johnny Cash are a real chicken and egg situation. You do have a real Johnny Cash vibe about it. Yeah, except I'm sort of like a Joaquin Phoenix. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interpretation.
Starting point is 01:05:45 A boy named Shung. I made it work. Stinkaroo. No, it was great. We all had fun. Okay. Dave. Graham.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Yeah. Hi. Hi. This isn't my overheard, but I was overheard a few days ago, and it was, well, it was emasculating. Did you use that word right this time? Nope. Okay. Um, as a matter of course.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Cause what we do is like, uh, generally people on this show, they overhear things secretly. Yeah. But, uh, the other day I was with some friends and I was telling them I bought tickets to see The Cure in Vancouver in the spring. And we were talking about like how, you know, I didn't grow up listening to The Cure, but I like 20 of their songs. And none of them are like goth songs. I think I only know one song by them. Oh, you know more. I know Friday I'm in Love.
Starting point is 01:06:45 I only know one song by them. Oh, you know more. I know Friday, I'm in Love. I only know that too. No, you know more. Do I? Yeah. It's like going to a Sheryl Crow concert. You think you only know one song and then you're like, I know all these songs. No, for sure I know a large swath of Sheryl Crow. Don't step to
Starting point is 01:07:01 us and be Sheryl Crow. But they care. I don't know that I know. What's another of their most popular songs? All right, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to cut you a deal. Okay. Because I don't know the titles of things. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:17 I could hum a few bars. Oh, yeah, hum a few bars of one of their most famous ones. Isn't one of them like, To Be By Your Side? Is that The Cure? I don't know. That? I don't know. That one I don't know. Dave?
Starting point is 01:07:28 Well, I said hum, not sing. Okay. Okay, hum one of their big hits. Let me just, give me a. Let him do some Googling. Yeah, let me. I like overhearing children. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:40 That's the best. I was in a bathroom once. This lady came with her son. And he's just. Just crying. And he goes, she goes, you have to, we can't leave until you poop. I feel like he was conspiring. And he's like, I'm trying. This hurts.
Starting point is 01:07:58 Boy, I wish I hadn't given her an opening. You know boys don't cry. Yeah. I know the movie. Once in a while he goes, Bye. Don't. No, I don't know that one.
Starting point is 01:08:13 You know the Love Cats. No, I definitely don't. Love Cats. That is not how it goes, is it? Absolutely. Oh, see, I don't know it. You know Close to Me. No.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Well, maybe. Close to Me. Nope. You know Just Like Heaven. Just like heaven. Oh, I don't know it. You know, close to me. No. Well, maybe. Close to me. Nope. You know, just like heaven. Just like heaven. Oh, I know just like heaven. That gold-fingered cover of it. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 01:08:33 You know Love Song. You know these songs. I don't think I do. You know Wrong Number. That's one of their 90s hits. I know. Hit might be a. I just think of them. Like, I know they're not one know hit might be a I just think of them
Starting point is 01:08:45 like I know they're not one hit wonders but I do think of them as that one song well and then we were my friends and I were talking about
Starting point is 01:08:51 like they also make me think of Tim Burton the Smiths we were talking about the Smiths oh I get them mixed up all the time
Starting point is 01:09:00 and how like I never knew anyone my entire life like who liked the smiths and then when i became an adult everyone apparently has always liked the smith i don't know anything about this so i get the cure mixed up with the smiths and all the time um and then and then this woman as she like had been sitting next to us eating lunch the whole time. And then she got up and was like, corrected us on a bunch of stuff and walked away. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:09:27 And I was like, like Cheryl Crow. Yeah. It makes you happy. Fine. I'm off to have some fun. Yeah. Oh boy.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Um, anyway, um, every day is a winding road and and a little bit closer and that one with kid rock yeah i put your picture away i put your billboard away so anyway my overheard that keeps getting bigger my overheard is from television and it was just sort of like an awkward some awkward banter amongst uh like, the news anchor and the weather girl. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:07 And, uh, the news anchor, uh, they were talking about Charlie Sheen and like how he has HIV. Yeah. And it was like, usually banter is like light, uh, stuff that's just like, ha ha ha. We're, we're having fun here. Yeah. But this was like, I guess people are so used to making fun of Charlie Sheen that when something serious happens
Starting point is 01:10:28 they don't know how to have the right tone and so she just threw to the weather girl the anchor threw to the weather girl and the weather girl said what a nightmare of a life that guy's had what? this was on TV? oh man
Starting point is 01:10:42 that's not the right note to wrap it up. What a nightmare of a life. Oh, my gosh. Oh, man. That's crazy. We had some good times, too. Yeah, of course. We had great times.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Yeah, hot shots. Yeah. That must have been fun to work on. This is how I know that AIDS has become a little bit more manageable. Like, I think that because it's like
Starting point is 01:11:00 there is an apparent cure or something that will help longer because this was only in the news for less than a day. Oh, yeah, that's true. It was in and out of the news cycle. If this had happened 10 years ago,
Starting point is 01:11:12 there would have been weeks of Charlie Sheen with AIDS stories. But now everyone knows, well, it's manageable, and more people understand what it is. And Charlie Sheen of 10 years ago was a different Charlie Sheen in our eyes. Yeah, that's true. That's true. He was still kind of like
Starting point is 01:11:28 cool from that Garbage Man movie that he made with his brother. Dirty, oh no, Men at Work. Men at Work.
Starting point is 01:11:34 Men at Work. Dirty Work. The reason I know that is because when I was growing up, you know, you had a VHS
Starting point is 01:11:42 or a beta. We had a beta and that was the last movie that came out on beta. You were like, my uncle, my uncle. So we rented it. And we were like, well, I guess we gotta buy a VHS player. I never knew anyone with a beta. I just heard people make jokes about it. My uncle was like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:11:56 that was my uncle every Christmas. He would stand around with my other uncles and be like, Beta Max is better. I can't believe you guys are taking the VHS Kool-Aid. Yeah. And they're like, oh, taking the VHS Kool-Aid. Yeah. And they're like, oh, let's watch the Kool-Aid movie on VHS. I love the Kool-Aid movie.
Starting point is 01:12:12 There's a Kool-Aid movie? Yeah. Come on, play along. We had her. You guys, I am the most gullible. You can tell me anything and I will leave you. It's the origin of him smashing through walls. Who played Mr. Kool-Aid? Big Rains? No, he was voiced by Louie Anderson. Voiced by? It was a cartoon. of him smashing through walls. Who played Mr. Kool-Aid? Bing Raines?
Starting point is 01:12:25 No, he was voiced by Louie Anderson. Voiced by? It was a cartoon. Oh, it was a cartoon. It was a live action, Dave. The commercials were. Yeah, that's true. The commercials were.
Starting point is 01:12:36 Is Kool-Aid still a thing? Of course. Oh, yeah. I love Kool-Aid. What cult drank the Kool-Aid? The Seventh Gate? Or the Seventh Heaven? Oh, I thought it was the...
Starting point is 01:12:46 Ninth Gate with Antonio Vinter. No, it wasn't. It was the... Jonestown? Oh, maybe it's Jonestown. Let me Google Kool-Aid cult. And which one had the Nike shoes? The Nike shoes.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Oh, that was Heaven's Gate. Heaven's Gate. Yeah. You and me, lost and lonely. You and me, just like heaven. The Cure? Yep. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:13:11 All right. I'm getting... Jonestown. You should come. The phrase derives from November. 1978 Jonestown death in which over 900 members drank the Kool-Aid. And what was the... And you can't pay for product placement. Exactly. Like, I don't think it... Did it damage Kool-Aid. And what was the... And you can't pay for product placement.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Exactly. Like, I don't think it... Did it damage Kool-Aid? Did Jared Fogle damage Subway? No. No. Not even a dent. No.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Like, there's not... Like, literally, Subway is just like... Because I think people are humans and they can associate that Subway is not molesting children. They just had a shitty... The long sub of the law. I guess I've known this for years, that Jared Fogle and I share a birthday.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Oh, no, really? And now we share a jail cell. Yeah, yeah. This is horrifying. What, the Kool-Aid movie? It says that 900 members drank it, many of whom committed suicide by drinking the mixture of powdered soft drink flavored agent laced with cyanide, with the remainder including 89 infants and elderly killed by forced ingestion of the poison. Yeah, you shouldn't be feeding Kool-Aid to a baby. Every cult member knows that.
Starting point is 01:14:20 I didn't know it was that many people. 900. I didn't know it was that many people. Yeah. 900. And it was like the beginning of like America like had this crazy like obsession with like cults and like Satanists and stuff. And that was like through the 80s. I went to a Catholic high school. These Satan cults in the South that are like eating babies.
Starting point is 01:14:43 I went to a Catholic high school and we had to watch a movie about cults and Kim Cattrall was in it and I can't remember the name this is not but I
Starting point is 01:14:52 I wouldn't say that the Sex and the City ladies are a cult they're more like friends they're friends they're more like pals but she was like like she
Starting point is 01:15:00 she escaped the cult and then she went and she ate a cheeseburger and I remember this movie like it was so went and she ate a cheeseburger. And I remember this movie, like, it was so funny because she ate
Starting point is 01:15:08 this cheeseburger. She goes and eats this cheeseburger and then she realizes because her brainwashing is still in her brain, she's like, oh,
Starting point is 01:15:14 this is terrible. So she goes downstairs, barfs up the cheeseburger and stands in the mirror, like, punching her chest, going, get out,
Starting point is 01:15:22 Satan, get out, Satan. I remember, like, we watched that in grade 10 and, like, people were walking around my high chest going, get out, Satan! Get out, Satan! I remember we watched that in grade 10, and people were walking around my high school going, get out, Satan!
Starting point is 01:15:32 Get out, Satan! I just love when something educational just misses the mark. Yeah, and backfires completely. Totally hilarious. Totally hilarious. My overheard comes courtesy of when I was working the club in Winnipeg, Rumors. And me and the comic that was opening for me were walking down the stairs, and there was an elderly lady being helped down the stairs,
Starting point is 01:16:03 and she was making these crazy, like, at least she was so upset about having to helped down the stairs. And she was making these crazy, like, at least she was so upset about having to walk down these stairs. And the comic that I was with just went over and said, Oh, just so you know, on your way out, there's an elevator that you can take that goes up to the parking lot.
Starting point is 01:16:19 And then she, she goes like that. And then when we walked into the club, I heard somebody else say to them, like, oh, do you know there's an elevator? She goes, maw. So that's all the old lady was saying. Was she like the grandma from Dinosaurs? Yeah, she did look like the grandma from Dinosaurs. I thought you were going to talk about the grandma from that cooking show.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Yeah, no, that lady was cool. I want to hang out and drink with that lady. She was the coolest lady. The judges just would say stuff and they'd be like, well, this isn't very good. And she goes, probably not. Yeah, probably too much salt from before.
Starting point is 01:16:53 And she didn't give a shit. And she kept on saying, I'm from New Orleans. We do it different. I'm from New Orleans. That's how we do it there. We do it Cajun style.

Starting point is 01:22:08 Oh, Battle Cat. Sorry. Because the Thundercats were a different thing that people are obsessed with. I was more of a She-Ra fan than I was He-Man. My brother was the He-Man. She-Ra was He-Man's cousin? Yeah, I think her sister or something weird. They never hooked up, so I think they were related.
