My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who was the original Darling Buds of May, Mr. Dave Shumka. What? It's a show that Catherine Zeta-Jones was on and I was trying to think of something with May related. Was it like the Darling Bud darling buds of maine of may

of may yeah it was wavy and whales she was on this yeah yeah and it was a soap opera oh yeah but like when you said it's a show that katherine zeta jones was on i for some reason i assumed like the darling buds were like variety show hosts for the darling buds of may and check out the the hula hoop lady katherine zeta jones douglas no she doesn't do hula hoop she goes under a laser nude hula hoop she doesn't do hula okay she goes under a laser beam and uh she marries michael douglas yeah that little that patoot of hers goes under the strings that are in place of the laser.

She's pretty, she's laughing off mic. She's holding all in. You let it all out. I can't. Comedian Laurie Gibbs is our guest. Hello. Hello. You're making me laugh so hard.

I was trying to respect the pre-guest banter. Oh, sure. Laughing off mic. That's very kind of you. No more respect. The host-co-host relationship is the sacred one. Oh, I can tell Do you know

The Darling Buds of May Never heard of that No No one knows Like Or that Australian one That all the Hemsworths Were on

Oh Neighbors Sure Everybody knows Neighbors But no one's seen it Like the only Yeah that's Foreign soap operas

I've seen Does Coronation Street Count as a soap opera Yes But like I thought a soap opera Had to have people under 70. And beautiful.

Well. My mom and I talked about Cory because she said, I feel so good when I watch it because everybody's just plain and normal. I'm like, yeah, I get mad when they show English shows with people that have perfect teeth. You're like, nope. Yeah. Nope. That's not accurate. That was kind of my problem with the original Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High.

Normal looking kids. And then when they rejigged it. Yeah. Good looking. All of a sudden, everybody looked like they were out of a catalog. Yeah. And all the parents and teachers are former actors from the old series. And they all look like trash. Do we want to get to know us?

Oh, absolutely. It's actually the guy who played Snake's birthday the day that we're recording this. So I follow him on Twitter. It's his birthday today. Which one? He was Stephen Brogan, I think. He's the sort of like Nordic looking guy. Yeah, he was the tall.

He's bald now. Yeah, he's bald now. He was the tallest guy. Yeah, he was the tall guy in the zit remedy. I'm just reflecting on what a well-rounded person you are to have that fact at the front of your mind. Well, just because you follow a guy from Degrassi Junior High on Instagram, was it?

No, Twitter. Twitter. Although I would follow him. Doesn't mean you don't also, you know, read Proust. Yeah, that's true. That's the thing. That's the thing. Like, that was already rounded,

and then there was this dent, and you fixed it with Twitter guy. You just bumped it right out. I mean, he reads Corey Proust's column in Baseball Monthly. Who doesn't? So, Lori, you just flew in today. I did. And I just recently saw you at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival.

Yeah. And what's new? What's new and exciting in your life? I just keep thinking when we were in Winnipeg, we were at the last show on the Sunday, and there was a party at that venue afterwards. And I realized once again that I am only comfortable with a crowd if I'm in front of it. But at a party, I'm always trying to do what I think you're supposed to do. But a lot of the times I would just stand alone and look like I was comfortable with my thoughts, but I wasn't.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was looking around for somebody that might wave me into a pod of conversation. And then I saw Graham talking to a girl and I walked up to him because I was desperate. And no, that didn't come out right at all because I knew that Graham was a safe place. And I just came up and I acted like a rabid fan. And I was like,

Oh my God, you're so funny. And then I pretended to throw up in a plant beside him, like just violently ill because I was so nervous about talking to him. And we decided that should be a character somewhere. Yeah. The Graham's super fans? Yeah, but it throws up because they're so excited. It throws up all the time.

Do you ever get, do you ever get super fans, Graham? Oh, you must. I, I, uh. You either get people who are cool or shy. Too shy to come up. Too shy, yeah. Do you ever get super fans, Graham? Oh, you must. You either get people who are cool or shy. Too shy to come up. Too shy, yeah. Nobody that would. Occasionally, I'll get somebody. It's the weirdest thing when people will yell out of a car.

That's a weird one. Yeah. Because then I can't. Go fuck yourself. You, Graham Clark? Is that Graham or the person in the car? It's the person in the car. Okay.

Yeah. And I'm like looking for a vegetable to throw at them. But yeah, it's like, yeah, it's weird because then you don't get to yell anything back. Do you just do the wave? Just. Hi. Yeah. Hi. That's nice. Yeah. That's nice. But you don't get to yell anything back. Do you just do the wave? Hi. Hi.

That's nice. Yeah. That's nice. But you don't get anyone barfing around you? I hope not. Okay, well, I'm going to pretend to do that. You would know, I think. Yeah. Unless they were real cool about it.

Oh, yeah. Just barfed into their drink. Like Heidi Montag. Just barfed. Down their shirt. Just a bunch of pesto. Yeah. That's why I only wear clothes that match the food I eat that day.

So no one knows that I've got this little shirt pocket. So today is like blueberry. Yep. Blueberry freezies. Yeah, blueberry freezies. Some sort of macaroon. Yeah, fruit by the foot. Really, there's not a lot of blue food.

Thank you for knowing that. When I was pregnant with... Okay, this is... You're the only other person I've heard say that. What do you mean? I know. Okay. When I was pregnant with my first son, I craved blue food.

And that was my problem. I had blueberry breakfast bars, blueberries, blue freezies. That's where it is. Gatorade, barbicide. Yeah, barbicide. When you kill a barber. There's a lot of blue, like Curacao, funky liquids.

Barbicide! Dave knocking it out of the park today. I'm just going to stay on barbicide for a minute. Chunky liquids. Barbershop! Dave knocking it out of the park today. I'm just going to stay on barbershop for a minute. Do they, modern day hairdressers don't have that, do they? I don't know. The big blue. I think barbershops do.

I think barbershops do. But what was the conceit that that's somehow keeping things, it's like clean? Yeah, I guess. Sure. Oh, you know, mouthwash is another blue liquid. Yeah. That's what I should have been I guess. Sure. Oh, you know, mouthwash is another blue liquid. Yeah. That's what I should have been doing pregnant. Yeah.

Were there things, because I always hear like, I'll always hear a new thing that pregnant ladies aren't supposed to have. Like, I never knew they could have. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that. See? Yeah, that was the thing. They can't have, like what? What was your example? Well, like they couldn't have like sushi or something.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. And canned tuna because of the- Yes. See, canned tuna I didn't know. Mm-hmm. Huh. Mm-hmm. Meth.

Yeah. Another blue food. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. If done right. Another blue food. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. If done right. Breaking Bad. Oh. For sure.

I'm going to get goosebumps so many times in this next while. Oh, my God. Did you love that show so much? I can't. It's a void in my soul. I know that if things get really tough, I can watch the series again. It would be the fifth time through the whole thing. Oh, wow.

Yeah. really tough, I can watch the series again. It would be the fifth time through the whole thing. Oh, wow. Yeah, just it does something to me on a cellular level that I can't explain. Yeah, I can see that because that was the last show that I think I'll ever watch where I watched it week in, week out instead of waiting until the season. Yeah, there was no option at the time. No. Now it's all the rage now. There were legal options to do it. Yeah, but I'm too scared to do it.

There were DVDs, I think. Too hard to find. But yeah, I don't think I've ever re-watched a drama. I've re-watched, like I'll watch 30 Rock or Seinfeld if it comes on TV every day. Yeah, yeah. Did you know that Breaking Bad is sometimes classified as a comedy? No. I could see that. But it's not. I know, but it is. Like, the episode with the talking pillow in the living room where

Skyler, they're going to confront Walt about his gambling, but it's not gambling. They just don't know what it is yet. Right. And she uses a talking pillow because it's like an intervention and you have to hand it. Like, there was so much comedy in that. There's certainly funny bits. Yes. And, like, things that you notice and, like, what's his face with all the minerals.

Oh, right. Yeah. Hank with his stones. Crazy minerals. They're the minerals. Oh, right. Yeah. Hank with his stones. Yeah. Crazy minerals. They're not rocks. They're minerals. Yes.

And like his wife always wearing purple. And there were weird. Shoplifting at open houses. Oh, yeah. That was a funny part. Not jokes. Not jokes. They didn't write in.

They didn't have gags. No. I mean, it was certainly bent humor. And your brain has to be a certain way. But like if you had no sense of humor, you could still enjoy the show. Oh, for sure. Which I think makes it not a comedy. That's what normal people do.

Do you like Better Call Saul? I do. It's not as favorite as Breaking Bad? No. I think it's going to become its own unique animal. I was really happy to get more Mike Ehrmantraut in my life because I was so mad

at Walter when he killed him. Spoiler alert! Not everyone's watched it five times. I know. Sorry. Remember he's sitting on the riverbank and Walter's like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And he's like, Walter, just let me fucking die. And then he just keels over.

See, that guy has the career. I don't think that happened. You shut your mouth. Who are you talking to? I think you're thinking of a different show. No. Was that on Night Court? Are you?

I'm going to come over there and I'm going to hurt you. Okay. Don't you doubt my Breaking Bad knowledge. What's that on Night Court? Night Court. That was Bull. That's when Bull was shot. When Bull was shot by the riverbank.

By Harry. Yeah. Or Dan. He thought it was a magic gun. You were a dick. Has that ever been done in like a cartoon or something where somebody fires one of those gag guns that the flag comes out, but it dislodges and goes through the person?

That would be a good like naked gun gag. And you see the blood just seep into the flag. Yeah. Why aren't we writing this down? We're recording it. Yeah, it's all. What? So, I don't know.

We started in Winnipeg. We started in Winnipeg. And we got to the riverbank dead. And when we were in Winnipeg, I was chatting with you. You're a crafter. Yeah. See, and I think I knew this, but like you're really like you're into it. I'm into it, but I don't want to be lumped into like, like it'd be so easy because I am middle aged.

I am a mom in the suburbs. It would be very easy to say she has crap on an Etsy store that nobody wants. But I'm not like that. I don't know why I feel like I have to justify it. But I guess because a lot of people don't think it's cool. But I like to make things that are useful. Okay. Or you just love so much that you're willing to dust it until you're dead.

You know what I mean? It means so much to you. And to dust it until you're dead. You know what I mean? It means so much to you. And I try to do it on the cheap. Because a friend of mine works at CTV on the morning news. And she asked me at Halloween, do you want to come on and do a couple of Halloween crafts? I'm like, weird. Okay.

Yes, I guess I do. Yeah, you were like, I was going to make a bunch anyways. Might as well do them on TV. I was Yes, I guess I do. Yeah, you were like, I was going to make a bunch anyways. Might as well do them on TV. Okay. So I made like an antique spell book and I like cut out the inside so you could like hide stuff in it. See, now this is awesome. Right? Yeah. Yeah, like we're not talking a potpourri swag in your bathroom.

Like nobody needs that. Is that where swag comes from? That's, yes. When people say they have swag. They have swag. It's because there's potpourri in their pocket. A fragrant sachet. They're low,

low hanging pockets. That's swag up. Yes. Now, have you always been like a crafty? Yeah, it's my mom

and my grandma's fault. I was, I was brought up in a room full of wool and knitting needles and, and crochet hooks. Right.

And, to knit your way out of it. I had to somehow, like saw, in a room full of wool and knitting needles and crochet hooks. Right. And. To knit your way out of it. I had to somehow. Like saw, but yeah. You know, I had to double crochet. That's how bad it was. I had to get out of there. So they were always making stuff.

Is that a thing, double crochet? Hell yeah, it is. Tell me more. A single crochet is about this high. And a double crochet is about that high. Whoa. All right. So for the home, for people

listening at home, it's like she did one tiny dick. It was a kernel of corn. It was a kernel of corn. It was nothing to do with genitalia. It was one kernel, then two. But like if you were making that motion to another lady,

pointing at a guy. It would be like, we have to get going in this many minutes. That's what that signal would mean, because I'm a lady. Sure. Okay, sure. So, back to me. So, CTV liked it, and they said, can you come back at Christmas? I said, yep.

So, then I did their thing at Christmas. Come back and remember instead. Yes! What you can do with poppies. You have no idea. The lips yes. What you can do with poppies. Oh. Yeah. You have no idea. The lips?

Yeah, you can make lips. Then, see, that's why I'm not a crafter is because I just, that's all I know, lips. Lest we forget. But you would put it in your brain, which simmers creativity, and you would think of something. Eventually. But we decided to. You start with those pins. Did you ever do, like, when you were growing up in a candy shop, you you ever do... When you were growing up in a candy shop, not that you were growing up in a candy shop.

No, no, no. You've got your facts right. They would sell you those wax lips? Yes. Yeah. Amongst the candy, and it was the only thing in the candy aisle that was not edible.

Oh, like they were just like a gag lip? Yeah. Hmm. Are you sure they weren't edible? Are you eating the Baby baby bells in their entirety? The skin has all the nutrients. Skin. The rind.

It's cheese skin. Okay. So Christmas. So then Global saw the CTV bit and they're like, hey, can you come and play with us? And I was like, yeah. And then I did Valentine's for both of them and blah, blah, blah. And now they're like, can we brand it? I'm like, yes.

So it's Lori's Corner? No, it's Hot Glue Schtick. Oh, well, of course. Yeah. This is great, right? I know. My Jewish comedian friend helped me come up with that. I love it. I know. So I spelled it helped me come up with that. I love it.

I know. So I spelled it with the C because I think that's the proper Jewish way to spell shtick. Yeah. There was much discussion about that. Oh, you mean like S-C-H? Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

I think we're honoring some Yiddish grandfather by doing that. Yeah. Yeah. Which is what you want to do. And by crafting in that grandfather's image. Yeah. Which is what you want to do. And by crafting in that grandfather's image. Always. So when they say, okay, we want to do Valentine's Day crafts, then do you just go stuff with hearts or do you just go crazy and just see what folds in? You only said the Halloween was like the spell book.

These could all be weird books. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah. A love spellbook. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. A Christmas spellbook. Mm-hmm. A Valentine's Day gravestone.

Valentine's Day. It has a secret compartment for your betrothed DNA. Some hair, maybe. Oh, fun. Or a filling. There's no good way to. DNA in a filling. You don't know.

If they haven't washed it, there's spit. Don't ever doubt my craft again. Ever. It's hard to probably put, like, bits of a human person in a craft, right? I don't think I like your limiting beliefs. Ah, thank you. You're welcome. What's the, have you, like, because of doing this TV thing, have you gotten requests?

Like, can you craft this thing? People are starting to do that. I'm noticing on my Facebook they'll post stuff, like, to a craft. Which, like, the other day, somebody made a light fixture out of a balloon, toilet paper squares, and white paper. And did it catch fire? Yeah, it sounds like a fire hazard to me. It caught fire immediately, and white paper. And did it catch fire? Yeah, it sounds like a fire hazard to me. Immediately, and everyone died. And I was like, let's make those.

Got on fire and then sailed out the window on the balloon. Oh, no. Oh, into a bunch of trees. So I said to them, well, I'll try it and see if it really works. But then that gets into a guy who's already doing that. Do you know about, of course, I don't think you'll know, man versus pin? Yeah, big man MVP fan.

Really? Tell me about it. Okay, there's this guy. Yes. And he's like, okay. Yeah. So it's sort of, he goes out or stays in, depending. He has a pin a bunch of them really

like I mean for branding it's you know it's a play on man versus sin or fin or

yeah but he he's passed he passed away and R.I.P. MVP P.I.N.

yeah you're absolutely right yeah dude he nailed it R-I-P-M-P-P. P-I-N. You're absolutely right. He nailed it. So now that that opening is there, that's what I'm going to do now is just go in or out with all my pins. What's his deal? Man vs. Pin is a guy who goes on Pinterest, which is where you can get very, very inspired to make things. Yes. I kind of get the inspiration there and try to put a little twist on it or make it useful or something.

What he does is he finds a pin that, that's what they're called on there. You pin something on Pinterest. I'll just write this down. Yes, pin Pinterest. And that's a dot com? That is, yes, dot. Okay. One of those Silicon Valley sites. I'll talk to my grandson about it.

He'll hook me up. Fantastic. So there'll be something on there like, oh, look, if you bake marbles in the oven, they'll crackle and you can turn them into jewelry. And he will test the pin to see if it works. Or if it just creates fumes yes and he's so funny and uh like he'll swear about stuff like he'll just call the bullshit on stuff yeah but he'll bleep it so it's still family friendly and he's got a great talent for it at i mean i'm like kudos to you for thinking of that like all i'm doing is just being a comedian who

makes crafts so all you're doing. Come on. That's the stupidest thing to say. That's what I invented was comedy crafter because CTV, they tweeted about it. They're like,

our favorite crafty comedians coming out on Monday. I'm like, how many do you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, Dennis Miller used to do... Well, John Wing does cross stitch.

Oh, he does? Yes, he was doing it at the Debaters in Victoria. Well, he's an old lady. Well, yes, but he is still an old lady comedian. Sure. Yeah. Did he do it in part to help him quit smoking? Yes.

Is that right? Yeah. Yes. Because it's something to do with your hands, right? Exactly. I used to do the cat's cradle. Yeah. That was my thing.

Just by yourself. Yeah. And then I did karate for a while. Just the hand parts. No kicks. Only hand movements. And then I just paper mache-ed my hands so that I could not use them for anything else. It was hard to do the second one once the first one was done, but, you know.

That's sort of what having a cast put on you. Absolutely. Just paper mache-ing your hands. It's just everything's crafts when you get right down to it. Oh, but, you know. That's sort of what having a cast put on you. Absolutely. Just paper machining your hands. It's just everything's crafts when you get right down to it. Oh, yeah. Everything is. Oh, yeah. A little putting stitches in someone's forehead.

Oh, yeah. Right? Surgeons, crafters. Yeah. I mean, they're making a little, ooh, Frankenstein costume. Yeah. Yeah. Little Frankenstein.

A little Frankenstein. So, like, my favorite thing on the internet is, like, when somebody tries to replicate a craft or a fancy cake. Yep. And then shows the failure thing. Oh, yeah. To me, there's nothing more purely funny than the badly executed. They're often listed under Pinterest fails. Yeah.

And it unites us together as humans who cannot do what the likes of Martha Stewart can do, right? You've got to remember, Martha, first of all, total thug. Yeah. And huge team of people doing everything for her right i'm talking about you're some schlep at home and you've got some extra construction paper and a bit of glue what can you do so it is in the crafting world like in the comedy world is there anything that's like considered hack oh you know what great question and yes i think a lot of it could be considered hack. I think in both the comedy world and the crafting world, the idea of put a bird on it has been done to death. Like if another person thinks they're funny by quoting that.

Yeah. Oh, shoot. That's a good Venn diagram there. I have to get those birds out of my opener. Oh, they could. That's fine. Like before tonight. Shoot.

Because you're like mostly a live bird act. Mostly aviary. Aviary. You've got some. You do some magic. CTV's one of our favorite aviary comedians. That's right. Oh, boy. that would be the weirdest

act. Somebody that comes out with a giant bird cage. You know who my favorite aviary comedian is? Me. Emu Phillips. Oh, fun. Fun, really fun. I was going to say John Wing. Oh! No, I'm not.

Oh, wow. What was the point? Oh, hack. Yeah. I would say anything with dried flowers that hangs in someone's bathroom. Right. Anything that goes on top of the toilet tank in the bathroom. Right.

Did you ever grow up and see one of those dolls that would cover the fresh roll? Yes. Oh, yeah. Did that? It must have frightened you. The craft, I think, that frightens me the most are the old people that are the dried apples. Oh, yeah.

Or the old people that are pantyhose. Oh, like, yeah, it's cotton inside and then... Yeah. Do you remember the kids show Zoom? Yeah. Come on and Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. Join in. Come on and zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. Join in. Come on and zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.

Come on, give it a try. We're going to show you how to fly. How to fly, yeah, I've seen it. We're going to teach you how to fly. Hi, come on and zoom, come on and zoom, zoom. They had dried apples on there, and I wrote away for the instructions, and they never came. Wow. Yeah.

Tell us you're dry. Well, they never taught you to fly, either. You know, I think I should be more angry about that. Reading Rainbow also lied about being able to fly twice as high. In your mind, though. Did they ever say that, though? Were they literal? It was implied because they showed a kid

that was in a full body cast. It was all happening inside his head reading Rainbow. I didn't understand implications when I was 10. The first shot you see is it zooming into this kid's head. If you're in a full body cast,

you can still fly. Yeah, just not for very long. Yeah, catapult. That's what they used to do with people who broke every bone in their body in the old days. Your county's problem now. And then they'd send them back, and that's how tennis was invented. Yeah, the other place wouldn't even have a catapult. They'd just have a big catapult they just have a big

catapult apparatus with a tennis racket on it huge a big tennis racket yeah it also worked as a fly swatter there's a there's a thing that i guess it's not considered like a craft but it was a thing when i was a kid that my friends parents had had sometimes. They were like these porcelain, they'd be like faces, and they'd be like of a pirate and a sailor and like a cowboy. And they were like these really detailed, and I don't know where you'd buy them or why you'd buy them. Maybe a gift shop near Halifax, do you think? Yeah, it just seemed like a weird

but they were all tough looking guys. Really? Were they bought in a set or was it accumulated over time? I think they were things that you collected. They sound like collectibles. Yeah. For sure. Is there crossover collectibles and crafts or is that completely, those are two separate worlds?

I don't even know yet. I'm not at that level. I haven't completed the whole degree yet. I'm doing it online. Online, at night? Yeah, Pinterest U. I saw someone, and I don't know if this was a joke

that they were doing, but you know how on the back of people's cars they'll have not a bumper sticker, but one of those sort of clear stickers that has the name of the university they went to on. Oh, yeah. And it goes over the rear window. I saw someone with a University of

Phoenix one. That's got to be a prank. That's a prank. Like one of those little clingy film things, right? Yeah, a decal. Decal. But University of Phoenix is completely online, right? Yeah, a decal, decal. But University of Phoenix is completely online, right? Yeah. Yeah.

And I don't think people are proud of it. And also, how does Phoenix feel about... The city? Yeah, like how do they feel about the fact that they're... Or the order. Or the bird. Yeah, sure. Bird?

Isn't that it? Isn't a phoenix a bird? That's the one that rises from the ashes. Is it a firebird? Yeah. Okay. Pontiac. Yeahbird? Yeah. Okay. Pontiac. Yeah, it's you there.

But what was the question? University of Phoenix. Do they do crafting? I like the idea of somebody who went to online university there and is truly and authentically proud of it and that's why they have that in the window i mean you might as well right like yeah because not everyone's gonna know and also like my degree i went to a real school where i actually showed up my degree's worthless yeah i don't even have one but i should put university of ph of Phoenix on my car now. No one's checking. I feel like somebody did a thing. Maybe it was a prank thing.

No, it was like the basketball team from DeVry University. And I feel like that's kind of in that same league. Yeah, I like that. But maybe DeVry does have a basketball team. I did online Barbizon. I just sent in pictures of myself. What's Barbizon? It's a school of modeling.

Of course. They do have a basketball team, but I think you have to Skype in. The Barbizon basketball team? Yeah. Yeah. And they all wear those plastic face protectors because they're all models, right? Yep. Very important.

Yep. That's their moneymaker. Plastic face protectors. Yep. You know what I'm talking about. Do models wear like... Like a welding mask know what I'm talking about. Do models wear like... Like a welding mask is what I'm picturing. I'm picturing like...

No, like those molded that sometimes basketball players have to wear because they've broken their... The Bill Lambert. The Dwight Schrute wore one in the office once. Yes. And he was playing basketball downstairs with the guys in the shop. I was picturing when you would buy like ever like those president masks like that from point break on the inside of those there would be like a shape holder that was a clear plastic and it was so freaky that it was rigid

that's my most scary craft just taking those out see this is a good idea i'm putting googly eyes on it i'm thinking with the craft thing maybe I should start having comedian guests come on because I opened a YouTube channel. Because it occurs to me that, like, creative people write jokes. Yeah. So that creative part's already awake and simmering and bubbling. Yeah. So, like, I would love to have just, like. When it's not drunk.

It's not trying to get a threesome in Fort Mac. But I just want to have like a basket of craft materials and say, here you go. While we're talking, just make whatever happens to come to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. And it would be really neat. It would be almost cool to use the same materials for each comedian and see how different each thing was. Right? Oh, I like that. But then you have to keep it a secret so they didn't cram for it oh yeah sure that would

happen yeah yeah yeah you're worried about i'm going on hot glue stick you guys i gotta nail it keep it a secret on your public video show exactly okay yeah i'll keep it private unless you request to see it it It'll do so well. That's the whole point. Yeah. That's a very, because sometimes you'll go on Instagram or YouTube and it'll be a private channel. Well, why even have? The private Instagrams are like, don't flatter yourself.

Although we also could say, maybe you've been working on your boundaries and this is a good thing right because you don't know what they were posting maybe it was heinous you don't know yeah maybe they're saving us heinous anus yeah i love that guy famous anus amos i love his cookies well this today is just not my thing there's a doug benson joke that's roughly that what famous amos heinous anus? Yeah, we couldn't afford famous anus cookies, so we had heinous anus. But you know what? Famous Amos, I couldn't pick him out of a lineup.

Don't know what he looks like. Was there also like a blackface famous Amos? Oh, Amos and Andy. Yeah, yeah. But like, famous Amos was one time he the only time that i've ever seen seen him was on an episode of taxi and uh because uh andy kaufman's character wanted to be famous like famous amos and famous amos showed up to him in a dream could you tell it was really the guy from i've no idea i have no idea

was the acting bad the acting was very bad okay that's probably the real guy but like i don't know he's his famous is in his name yeah i've never questioned it like i just assumed he didn't exist like that he was just like yeah yeah it just it rhymes so it's like a corporate mascot, like Mr. Peanut. What? You know, it rhymes. You could be Brave Dave. That's what we should do. Ooh, Brave Dave cookies.

We should rhyme our names, and then we'll become whatever. Thank you. That's exactly what I would say, too. Or Sorry Laurie. Sorry Laurie. I'll just be like Eeyore all the time. Yeah. Liam Graham.

Oh, no. Graham. Yeah, not a lot of things rhyme with it. Freeman Graham. No. Do you know anything about the guy who started Graham Crackers? No. Oh, okay.

Was it you? I wish. I think he's sort of. I had some of that Graham Cracker money. Whoa. I think he's sort of from the same era. Give me some more. I'll. Whoa. I think he's sort of from the same era as like Kellogg. I'll be okay.

I'm over here. I'm doing a smart thing over here. You guys go ahead. Oh, I got it. But like is graham cracker, is that a... I think it was some sort of like from the era of like teaching people not to masturbate all the time. Like it was some sort of weird sort of sexual health. These crackers will be great for your urges.

We need a new generation of that to compete with all the... I'm going to need more of a thinking bridge from graham crackers to touching yourself. Look, it made sense in the 18th 18th century 19th century yeah do you know that though i i have that rings a bell jay yeah and whenever i get the urge i ring a bell i say i want some more of this yeah i'll keep trying i don't even care but like i think a lot of the like people involved in the agriculture industry in america in the midwest in the 19th century were like had weird sexual religious repression yeah and also

they were probably frustrated that all their ferments were constantly checking like look it up like look it up oh man um but is graham cracker like is it like band-aid where it's a brand name

and that's just become the name of the thing I don't know I don't think so can I look it up yeah sure do it I'd like that

but you guys you guys vamp I'd like to vogue. Oh, yeah. You guys vogue. Graham, you can do the Charleston. But, yeah, like the Graham Cracker, I got that a lot when I was a kid. That was an easy.

Did that ever hurt your feelings? No, I think everything does when you're a kid because you're like, oh, please just don't notice me. Yes, yes. And so anything that like, and I was like, I think in the air. Boom! The Graham Cracker was originally conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham diet, a regimen to suppress what Reverend Graham considered unhealthy carnal urges. No.

The source of many maladies, according to Graham. This is, I'm, Graham, he is a very bright man. He is, I've always known.

I actually feel that he could have made that up on the spot and pretended he was reading it. Like, Oh, right. Yeah.

Ritz crackers were invented to stop people from wiping their it. Like, that's how much I read Sackler Humor. Ritz crackers were invented to stop people from wiping their butts. Yeah, it's like Dave's doing like a real a real Kaiser Soys thing.

There's all these words up on the wall. Right behind Laurie's head I'm looking at a newspaper clipping that says local man masturbates. Yeah,

I love it. Has someone felt it important enough to pin it up there. Yeah. You know what? Kudos for knowing that. You were on the right track. Yeah. Wow.

These are the things you learn. I think it was actually, it was a few months ago, but I believe it was on an episode of the Dollop podcast. Okay. And they did, there were a lot of sort of intertwining stories about like the, uh, Kellogg company and post company, all kind of having like their roots in,

uh, sexual repression. Yeah. Wasn't there there, the whole thing was, uh, women were being treated for, was it hysteria?

Oh, I don't know about that. Where it was. And then it was just like, it was women that, uh, were just, uh,'t know about that. Where it was. And then it was just like, it was women that were just like horny women. And there was the, because the repression level was so high that they were like, these women are insane. Right. Yes.

Yes. But that's like the only time people have tried to repress women, right? Yeah. Yeah. We're good now. No, otherwise. Ever since, I mean, like they, they knocked it out of the park with those witch trials. Darn right. Yeah, were any warlocks on trial?

Yeah, a few warlocks. A couple goblins. The Salem Goblin Trials? Just for the ugliest people in Salem? Yeah. They're like, why can't I be tried as a witch? You know why. You drew the short stake again.

A lot of those horny hysterical women were gobbling something else. Oh! Oh! I like that. I like that hornyhystericalwomen.com.

Yeah. Dot com. That's my... Do you want to look up and see if that exists? Because I bet it does. My Tuesday night comedy show. Horny hysterical women.

Oh, wouldn't that go over so well in comedy right now? That would be amazing. You know what bothers me about this Reverend Graham? Go on. Is that he makes a cracker that's a cookie. Yeah.

That's the thing about it. It's the only cracker that is actually a cookie. So it's a big ruse and I don't like it. Yeah. Yeah, because when you think cracker, you think like a savory. You got a premium plus. You got a stoned wheat. you got a Triscuit, you got a Ritz. Right? Ritz are a little sweet.

Actually, they are. And they're so oily. So buttery, really buttery. Let's get some. Oh, boy. You know what's crazy? There hasn't been like a new cracker. I don't think.

You're wrong. Well, no, but like it's really taken hold. All the new cracker makers are so angry at you right now. What do you like? Goldfish. Cheese nips. Oh, goldfish for sure. Cheese nips, I feel like that's been around for a while. I feel like they've been around as long as

Don't you raise your eyebrow at me. They've been around as long as Ritz, I think. Haven't they? I'm not looking at Ritz. What about Breton? I'm not Wolfram Alpha. Breton is the one that comes in a sleeve? Well, don't they all?

Yeah. Well, but some come in a box. Do Bretons come in a box? They come in a long, round sleeve. Inside a box. Yeah. Okay. All right.

Just a blouse sleeve with ruffles. Yeah. They are yeah, the Bretons you put like a fancy cheese on those. Oh yeah. Well you might. I mean, I don't. But like when I go to a place where there's fancy cheeses they'll be like, Breton?

Yes, yes. Thank you. What about those, What are those ones? They call vegetable thins? Oh, yeah. There's wheat thins. And they've got the concave and the convex sides. Yeah. And you can put them together, but you don't because you eat them too fast.

I feel like I have three of those, and then I'm like, these are the best crackers. And then I have four, and then I go, I can't ever have these ever again. My favorite were the stoned wheat thins. Yep. Because they had a perforation down the middle. You crack them in half, make a little cheese sandwich. Oh, fun. That is perfect. And I am very angry that that perforation is no longer as effective as it used to be.

Oh. And they've changed the recipe. Oh, really? Wow. Yes. Yes. Do they still get stuck in your teeth? Absolutely.

In the molars, particularly. In your molars? And your tongue can't get them out no matter what you do. It just has to dissolve eventually. Yeah, and you can't even brush them out. You just got to wait. Just wait. You just have to wait until it's like, I can't eat these before brushing, like before bed.

I got to leave a couple hours for them to work their way out. If I find out I have a cavity, I just eat a lot of them and make my own filling. And there's DNA in it. That's exactly right. The end. Goodbye. Good cracker DNA in it. That's exactly right. The end. Goodbye. Good cracker chat, guys. Cracker chat.

That's what all podcasts should be called. But I feel like if you invented a new cracker, you really would have such an uphill battle getting people on board. How do you think outside the box? Yeah. That's so dumb. But really, they've come at it from every angle. What else could you do?

I don't know. I mean, they've called a cookie a cracker now. That's way outside the box. Yeah. And then they've done like all sorts of different flavor profiles of cracker. Indeed. I was addicted for a long time to those Swiss cheese ones with the holes in them. Yes, they're right beside the vegetable thins.

They're yellow. They've got little holes. They're just not. Blue box yellow crackers. Okay. Swiss cheese crackers. Delicious. So good.

Yeah, they're great. The vegetable thins though. Now I want one. I cheese crackers. Delicious? So good. Yeah, they're good. The vegetable thins, though. Now I want one. I want three. I think what we really all want is a lot of salt. Yeah. You know what? That's because there's probably enough for all of us.

Why don't the Girl Scouts and Girl Guides start selling crackers? Do you know who should sell crackers? Boy Scouts. Yeah. Because they got nothing. That's the crazy thing. Girl guides have this fantastic empire, and then Boy Scouts have to go ask strangers for their bottles. So they know how it feels to be women.

No. Oh! What? I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means. Asking strangers for their bottles of shampoo? Women have to do that all the time. We didn't want to have to tell you this way.

That's the way it is. See, if she says it, I got no grounds to not believe it. I got no truck with that. Dave, what's going on with you, man? Well, it might be the same thing that's going on with you. Yeah, more or less. We're going through a manifold. Yeah.

How can I help? We had matching hysterectomies I thought I noticed something The other night Graham and my wife Abby And my brother Mark We all went to go see Paul McCartney At the Rogers Arena It's still my heart

I know you went to see him Because last time you were on this show, you mentioned that you were going to see him because it was the last time he was here. And you maybe saw him in Edmonton? We saw him here. Oh, okay. We flew here just for him, because my husband's a big Beatles fan, and it was just stunning. He didn't do any Beatles songs.

Really? I don't even remember what songs he did. I just remember, like, the energy in this place is just so beautiful right now. He could just sing like, I don't know, Dozy Dotes and Marzy Dotes and whatever. I don't know about Ivy. And that'd be fine.

Is that the show that Catherine Zeta-Jones was on? Blue Ivy. So we went on Tuesday. Say that again. Tuesday? It's after Monday. Was it Monday? So we went on Tuesday. Say that again. Tuesday? Mm-hmm. It's after Monday. Mm-hmm.

Was it Monday? No, it was Tuesday. Tuesday. Okay. And so we had excellent seats, like the front row of our section. We were basically in the hockey arena. We were sitting in the penalty box. Yeah. So we were like halfway down, but like a little above the floor. sitting in the penalty box. Yeah. So we were like halfway down

but like a little above the floor. How beautiful. So great. Yeah. And the show was great. He played 38 songs. Oh my God.

Yeah, I didn't expect it to be as long as it was. Yeah. I was very surprised by how long the show was. Did you want it

to not be quite as long? No, no. I was just like when i looked at the time at the end i was like holy jesus 10 of the songs look like hey i mean i i understand wings was a big deal for some people and some of them i recognized but also like do you does anyone care about your song from the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 soundtrack? Somebody does. Let's remember that Graham follows that guy on Twitter.

Somebody loves that song. Yeah, and I think there were people singing along to the new... Yeah, my brother saw him in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver within five days. Oh my lord. He's a super fan. He also must have a lot of money to do that, or he's in debt. This was his... As he said, he disposed of all of his

disposable income. And so he... Apparently Paul McCartney is a robot. And my brother was like mouthing all of the banter between songs. Cause it's all the same for every show. No kidding. Huh?

That would have been fun to film. And there was like, he took off. It would have been like a dub smash. Right? What's a dub smash? What? Dave?

It's the worst. Oh, it's the best. Now wrestle with yourself. Okay. Okay. I'll, wrestle with yourself. Okay. Okay. I'll see you guys later. Okay.

Graham's got himself against the ropes. So, we get this guy a cracker. So, yeah, the show was excellent and like two and a half hours long. Yeah. And you're like, oh, hey, I've heard Hey Jude 500 times. This is the guy who wrote it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that kind of blows your mind.

It's almost too much for my head to process. Yeah. Like, really? And then Graham, you noticed, what was your highlight of the night? Well, here's the thing, just like on the Hey Jude thing, because I was thinking about this.

There was a great highlight in that. What? Well, what are you thinking of? I'm thinking of during the na-na-na, hey Jude part, the camera would go all through the crowd and show different people singing along and going crazy. And then just one guy who was maybe asleep with his eyes open. Yeah, he might have been asleep with his eyes open or so high.

But no, no, he was like quite old. Still. I don't think he was high. He looked pretty high. But anyways, he was the only guy frozen in time. That's fantastic. But like with a lot of the songs that I, because I've never like intently listened to the Beatles, I don't think. Like I've just, I know all the words to all these songs by kind of osmosis.

And, uh, I'm like, are they good songs? I think they are, but I've never been given the chance to not listen to them. Yeah. So it's,

it's kind of a weird, some of them like you're, uh, I was listening to paperback writer the other day and I was like, they just wrote like they didn't, this is a day, and I was like, they just wrote, this is a first draft, all these lyrics. How ironic. The harmonies are great. The song is just like,

they just wanted to test out these microphones or something. And they're like, yeah, we'll put that on. Build the rest of the song around this great harmony. So I think there's a lot of songs that like, like they have things that, uh, you know, there's the word Beatlesque.

Right. Where like a recording technique is something they use. Maybe the song's not, you know, it's all too much by, from like the, uh, yellow submarine soundtrack.

Isn't a great song, but everyone uses these techniques now. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's like that. Yeah. Like because the songs are so you just heard them in so many different ways. Yeah. Over the years.

It was weird. It was weird hearing them live. And and I was like, I don't know. Do I like this song? Yeah. Like I don't not like it pressure that's telling you it's the beatles it's legendary of course you must like this song yeah did you really ever stop and think if you did yeah like and the one song that they played where i had like

a lot of those songs have been used by different things so you have weird connotations yeah to them so they sang their like birthday song which they used to play on like the noon news when they would do like local people's birthdays. How does it go?

Like you say it's your birthday I believe they also wrote happy birthday to you. Yeah, that was them. They also wrote

all the like chain restaurant birthday songs. Yes, and they wrote the ABC song which is the same melody as Happy Birthday.

Is that right? Nope. Nope. Baa Baa Black Sheep and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I made that mistake before. That's all right. You'll make it again.

It's my mistake. Yeah, that's fine. I'll own it. Yeah, own it. Okay, thank you.

But yeah. Happy birthday. Yeah, you say it's your birthday. But I just think of like, the whole time, I was just thinking of the guy who was the news guy, Daryl Janz. Yeah. Oh, yeah, Daryl Janz. He's in Calgary.

Yeah. Sure, I bet him once. Yeah. Yeah, we were making Easter baskets. Okay. I'm not even kidding. Easter bonnets. There were bonnets.

I'm sorry. The baskets of the head. It was like a cancer bonnet fundraiser. And Daryl Janz was there. And I was like, what? Now, there was quite a range of people at this concert. Yeah. I like, no offense, but you, I invited you because I tried to convince my dad to go.

And you just was like, not it. You said, I'll get someone who looks like my dad. But, like, up until a few days before, I was really banking on that. He's like, when else is he, are there any more acts like that big from his era, from my dad's era, that could fill an arena like that? No. Not really. Tony Orlando, probably. Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure.

Yeah. Dawn. Well. But there was this couple that basically I was obsessed with from the first second I saw them. Okay. Maybe they were there with, I think, it seemed to me like it was a man and a woman

and maybe this wasn't their first marriage. Maybe they were married, but then the kid was from maybe his first marriage kind of thing. Because she didn't look anything like her. She looked, not completely, but a lot like the little guy from Just for Laughs. The little green guy. The child? No, the woman. Not the little green guy. Oh, no, the woman. The woman looked like the green guy. The child? No, no, the woman. Not the little green guy.

Oh, no, the woman, yeah. The woman looked like the green guy? Yeah, I can't help you say that. I definitely remember her. Okay. All right. And so her and her fella were- Before the show, they were standing right next to you.

They were standing right in front of the penalty box. They were resting their beers on the ledge and i was like i was like this is gonna end up in my lap because she's her hands keep flailing and uh also she uh just keep kept almost knocking it over with her boobs and that tail would probably and so uh so i was i was in their relationship for that time period. And she was so excited to be there. I think they were going to go because it was two nights. So they were going to be there the next night as well. And, you know, she had a lot to drink already, but was still going to drink some more.

And they started dancing. This was before any musician was on stage. It was just a DJ playing Beatles music. Sure. And then when Paul McCartney came out, she started bawling. She started crying so, so much. Paul McCartney. But then she kind of didn't stop crying yeah for the rest of the night oh yeah was

it was it all the same mood of crying like was it overwhelmed or did it turn sad or melancholy no it was just it was like it was definitely different points she would start crying more she was one of the people that knew all the words even to his new stuff. Okay, yeah. And then her fella did a lot of dancing in the aisle playing air guitar. Yes. I imagine that his daughter would have been mortified if every other guy wasn't doing the exact same thing. Yes. Did he attempt to comfort her at all? No.

I think she was sort of one of these hysterical horny women of history. Who needed a good graham cracker. She didn't need comfort. She was, you know, she was in control. She wanted this. She was fully experiencing it.

Yeah, and I saw so many, like, it was so nice to see, like, you know, like, older women just, like, smiles on their face crying to, like, Yesterday or Blackbird. Or, oh, baby, I'm amazed. That would get me for sure. Yeah. Yeah. And I said to Abby, I was like, oh, man, they're going to do it so much tonight. And Abby's like, no, she's going to burn out. And I was like, man they're gonna do it so much tonight and uh i was like no she's gonna

burn out and i was like nope she's saving it and then they left before the encore and then i leaned over to abby i'm like guess what they're doing and uh how long were they gone they were gone for about like 10 or 15 and then they came back and uh they were high-fiving each other. No! No! Yes. So that's what they did. How old do you suppose they were? I would say she was probably 50.

I'm 50. Yeah. That's fantastic. You could have given her a high-five. That was me. I was her. I didn't know why you guys didn't come and say hi. That was really rude.

I was just mostly focused on you not spilling your beer on my lap. That's fair. I've done that so many times to you. And then we saw, oh, Diana Krall was there. She co-wrote a song with him from an album or two ago. And she played the piano on it. And Elvis Costello, people saw him in the audience. Oh, yeah.

Because those two are married. Oh. Although he and Paul McCartney have a song together, so I don't know why they didn't do that. Last night at the show, did you hear who went on stage? No. Jimmy fucking Fallon. Oh, Jesus. Why is he here?

I don't know. Oh, boy. Hey, what's going on? Why is he Jimmy F. Fallon? Oh, we don't like him. What don't you like? Tell me. I've never liked him.

No, that's still not a reason. Oh, doesn't tell jokes. If he's given a joke to tell, fucks it up completely. Can't interview, is the luckiest man alive. There's no reason he should be hosting a show. Oh, my God.

Like, oh, just like, you have to dig in the ground to find it. I couldn't like the fact that he, of all people gets to go on stage with Paul McCartney is, uh, like the, we should be catapulted into the sun. Oh my God.

And I find him like a joyous light in the world yeah yeah he's very joyful yeah but like who like that's not that doesn't qualify you to host this show i don't know i kind of like it i gotta tell you and i like his boyish enthusiasm of course you do not enough enthusiasm in the world look there's plenty of people who like him i'm in the minority i'll admit it but in this room i'm in the majority i I'll admit it. But in this room, I'm in the majority. I like being the minority. I think I've given, I think when he first took over the Tonight Show, I was like, oh, brother. I couldn't believe that, to be honest.

Now I'm more at peace with it. I've more turned my daggers towards his kind of clone that is, what's his name? James Corden. Oh, James Corden. Like that guy gives me, like least jimmy fallon like james corden the guy that does uh celebrity uh car karaoke yeah yeah you don't like him either no i oh my god i have to go i like i think i like jimmy fall like in contrast i love jimmy fall compared to wow because, because Corden to me does, he, he's bringing nothing.

Jimmy Fallon already cornered that kind of, hey, I'm, I'm happy to be here. I'm excited to be talking to celebrities. I'm having such a fun time. And then James Corden just came in and said, also me. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no. Also me. That's the difference. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. You could be the next one and just change your accent. To Australian, maybe? Yeah. No, too close. Too close. I'm thinking something Spanish.

Yeah. Do it. Most of our listeners would think you have an accent right now. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. What are you talking about? Exactly.

Anyway, so the next night, or do we still more uh well here's this is just a stray observation first of all i loved i loved his band oh he was yeah yeah they were great uh because because uh it was very clear that uh they just loved doing this and they i think they all probably have a sense of like look at look who else is on stage yeah i i'm really curious about them because they've been in his band for a while and his like the keyboard player has been with them for like 30 years the i read an interview with the guy who looks like the dad from uh modern family yeah and he said like he said it's just like he can't it's the it's the gig of a lifetime.

Yes. You know? What were you telling me about him? Oh, he played the guitar solo on Livin' La Vida Loca. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. And I know that the drummer used to be in Ashley Simpson's band. And he's toured with so many different acts. It's crazy how many acts he's toured with so many different acts. It's crazy how many acts he's toured with. And the drummer did this great thing where he was playing the drums and he had a microphone on this swinging

stand and he would kind of knock the microphone towards his mouth to sing harmonies and then knock it out of the way. Oh, that's so cool. Yeah, he was great and he's like, he was great to watch. And the whole band was really, really good. Like, this was, we saw him, and I saw him at BC Place, the football stadium, four years ago.

And then to see him in an arena where you're so much closer, and, like, he wasn't just a speck, and you didn't just have to watch the screens. Yeah. Yeah, we could actually see him of course in it which was pretty cool um but i uh when i was going that night i was like uh i guess i should eat before because people don't eat at a concert but they did yeah of course there's every kind of food there i mean you'll you know pay thirty dollars for a burger yeah but i just didn't ever think i've never been to a concert and eaten before well it ain't cheating no that's true it's not i downed a whole tub of popcorn at buble yeah which i think you're supposed to though yeah but that's that yeah that to me seems like that works yeah but if you're at a i don't know i saw this lady carrying this huge thing of nachos and i was like, hmm, I don't know.

This feels weird. When I went to like concerts at arenas when I was, you know, in the early 90s, when I was 12. Yeah. I would, they just had the like. Who are you watching? Peter Gabriel. Okay. All right.

They had like, they didn't have what they have now. It would just be like, you know, M&M peanuts. Yeah, yeah. That I could see. But yeah, it's weird. Like people were having like dinner. Yeah. Yeah.

It's like that should be a dinner theater type thing. Yeah. If you're going to do that. Yeah, Spall McCartney doing Lost in Yonkers. Yes. Yes. You should only be able to have convenient snacks. Yeah.

Not a full dinner when you go to a concert. And so the next night I went to, like, since our baby was born 19 months ago, we've been. Had one week. Yes. We've now been to three concerts. We went to one concert like a year ago and then two in two nights. Oh, nice. So last night we went to see Sloan, the Canadian Haligonian band.

And what's that word? Haligonian from Halifax. Yeah, that's a citizen of Halifax. No kidding. It's a Haligonian. That's so cool. And we were, I also had two people that I was watching the entire night. Oh, nice. And this was. It is one of my favorite things to do. And we were, I also had two people that I was watching the entire night. Nice.

And this was. It is one of my favorite things to do. It was, I didn't have like the warm feelings that this couple you saw. Right. From the night before. I was, these people kind of annoyed me. It was two guys standing right in front of us. One guy wearing shorts and Crocs.

Oh boy. me it was two guys standing right in front of us one guy wearing shorts and crocs oh boy and uh his friend next to him was just like sweating so much and like rubbing his face and like rubbing his neck like he needed a massage and like he was trying to hint to his friend and then at one point lifted up his shirt and rubbed the sweat off his face in public. Oh no! No, I am a previous big sweater, so my empathy bone is just going, empathy boner. I sweat quite a bit myself, but this

guy, it was just like rubbing it all over himself. But, at one point, the band mentioned a show that they did 20 years ago and like was anyone here at that show and this guy went woo like as a joke and then and you were there too and he pointed to his friend and he was laughing at his own joke and he dropped his glass and it's shattered on the ground right next to his friend wearing Crocs. So it was like the perfect moment.

Yeah, I think I came around from not liking these guys to really liking these guys. Yeah, that should happen to anyone wearing Crocs anywhere. His glass was shattered near them. That's why you don't wear Crocs to a thing. That's right. Oh, poor sweaty guy. It's not even just a question of polite society. It's like you're going to a place where people smash glass.

I've, in recent years, come around to being a big advocate of carrying, especially in the hot weather, a hanky for dabbing the forehead or the neck. That's a good idea. And kind of old world gentlemanly. It is. It's like it's an old man thing. Maybe old ladies. It's part of your haber old man thing. Yeah. Maybe old ladies. It's part of your haberdashery. Yeah.

Yeah. But that's the, I think it's the elegant way to, because you're going to sweat. Yeah. There's no way around that in the summer or at a Sloan concert. You're going to sweat. Yeah. Did people dance? I'm sweating right now.

Yeah. I'm sweating for sure. People might have danced. I don't know. Nah. We've stood pretty far back. Where do you buy hankies now? I just buy them at the dollar store.

You should get Abby to make some. Yeah, I should. Actually, I'm going to craft them. Yeah. Yeah, there we go. And then we'll sell them as merch. Project, project. You can get them at the dollar store.

Yeah. Are they still the blue and red and with the white patterns on them? Yep. Really? And I just get plain white ones, but yeah. And they're actually pretty good because a couple times I've been around somebody who is crying. And being able to offer them a hanky is pretty good. And they're like, this is soaked with your sweat.

And I'm like, don't worry. This smells funny. It's been in my butt pocket all day. this is soaked with your sweat. And I'm like, don't worry. It's been in my butt pocket all day. No, honestly,

if a gentleman passed me a clean hanky, I would be quite smitten. I think it's gentlemen stuff. Yeah. Boy, you'd need a second. That's right. But my grandfather,

he was a big hanky guy. And then, you know, that was his body type. Yeah. It was a big hanky guy. And then, you know. That was his body type? Yeah, he was a big hanky guy. Big hanky guy. But I remember thinking as a kid, like, why isn't this, why isn't this what all. Yeah.

It's kind of like the era of like all men wore hats. That's what, you know, my grandfather was from. And then. And suits and stuff. Yeah. I was watching the PBS did a thing on jackie robinson and like back then everyone at a baseball game in the middle of the summer wearing suits yeah isn't that crazy yeah and it was only after they say after jfk became president that he was like the first president to not wear a hat and i like just

overnight everybody stopped wearing hats and it became like you all of a sudden were like an instant fogey for wearing a hat yeah yeah and uh and then the pendulum swung too far and crocs yeah oh boy yeah when does the and now only the worst guys wear hats but the pendulum has swung back a bit in the line of the, there's a lot of, you know, like younger people will wear like fitted shirts,

pants that fit. Seems like that's a response to the like sloppy cult, you know, you know, casual Friday culture of their parents' generation. Yeah.

They're like, we want to wear suits. Let us wear suits. But also, no one will hire us. So we're just wearing, wearing suits at the coffee shop.

We're dressing for the job that we'll never have. Oh, I'll give my Wi-Fi password to this guy in a suit. Of course. Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks for letting me come to that concert. That was a lot of. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for letting me come to that concert. That was a lot of fun. My pleasure. Thanks for coming. Hey. I'm glad you guys got to do that together.

Yeah, it was fun. It was pretty sweet. Do we want to move on to Overheard? Yeah. All right. I listen to Bullseye because no show

does a better job of showcasing the best creators we have today. It's like the line I know it's on a favorite album but for everything in culture. It makes me the line, I know it's on a favorite album,

but for everything in culture. It makes me happy to hear music I've never heard before, voices I've never thought to listen to, and culture recommendations that are outside my comfort zone. That's why I listen to Bullseye. You should too. Bullseye's your guide to what's good from MaximumFun.org and NPR. The three of you enter a cave of a big red dragon

and it's standing over a horde of precious golden rubies. And he says, what do you do, adventurers? I'm a dragon man. I cast fire on him. It's very good. I address the red dragon and say, us, we're the hosts of The Adventure Zone, a podcast about family playing Dungeons

and Dragons. Very good synergy. Commit to the bit. I roll to charm new listeners. It is very effective. Against all odds. Everybody, we're the Macroids. We host the Adventure Zone. It's a podcast where we play Dungeons and Dragons together. It's a comedy podcast. We don't take the rules too seriously because there's

a lot of them and we did not take the time to learn them. Maybe listen to us. We come out every other Thursday on the Maximum Fun Network. You can find us on iTunes or on MaximumFun.orgorg i think this promo is a critical hit overheard overheards a segment uh which uh we hear all these great things, real nuggets, real diamonds. And then we bring them back here and we share, share the nuggets, share the diamonds. We always like to start with the guests. I never shared nuggets, by the way. Anytime I went to McDonald's.

Yeah. What do you get, six? Used to get six or nine or 20. Now I think there's a 10 in the middle there. They went from nine to 10. Yeah. 20 seems like a lot. That's for a group. And the dip would be. Allegedly. I think there's from 9 to 10. Yeah. 20 seems like a lot. That's for a group.

And the dip would be... Allegedly. I think there's more dips now too. Yeah. What was it? Like a plum sauce back in the day? No, it was sweet and sour or barbecue.

Hot mustard. Hot mustard. And I think there was maybe like an ambrosia salad. Yeah. A seasonal one. A shamrock shake. Yeah.

Anyway, do you have any nuggets to share? Yeah. I have a nugget. Quick backstory. My 17-year-old son has autism and his best friend has Asperger's and they are the funniest to listen to. Even if they're talking to me, they're like, he's like, his friend is like, yeah, Lori, we're going over to the mall this afternoon. Better warn those girls that these two spectrum dudes are coming to South Center. I'm like, oh, I love you guys.

But like my son Josh is in grade 12 now and his best friend is in grade 11 at a different school. Cradle robber. It's not his lover. It's his best friend is in grade 11 and a different school and the cradle robber um it's not his lover it's his best friend still still he robbed the cradle of a best friend so uh he comes over and i hear them talking on the patio and they're like two old men and jackson i hope his mom doesn't mind that i just said his name he wants to live in the wilderness when he's a grown man. Forested log cabin, heated by wood stove, very old washer and dryer

because he believes those are the best quality. And he wants to be able to shoot cans off of fences with guns because he also loves guns. Okay, all right. And he said, you know, Josh, when we get this land, I'm going to have to sell about 20% of it to you because I'm probably going to have a wife and she's probably going to want some privacy.

And, but here's the thing. I still need you to be there because who am I going to clown around with and shoot cans with? My wife. And just the idea that, like, every time he says something about this future wife, I try to say to him, or it might be a young lady who also enjoys shooting cans off of fences. Clowning around. Right? Just who's going to want to clown around with me?

So I just love his belief. You should start dating clowns. Yes. Yes. It's just a joy to listen to them. But he, it's a real, it's a real,

I love the specificity of that view of the future. Yep. 20%, no more, no less. 20% men versus can.

It's going to have to be in writing and my wife will be a bit of a shrew who won't support the things I like to do. Yeah. 20%. No more, no less. Man versus can. It's going to have to be in writing. And my wife will be a bit of a shrew who won't support the things I like to do. Yeah. Right? She'll just be there shaking her rolling pin and her curlers. Get back in here and stoke the stove. And your son's also, he does like models of airplanes. Yeah, he.

But like commercial airplanes. Yes, with all the insides made, like every seat on the plane is made and the lavatories and the galley and the cockpit. And yeah, a couple of years ago, he made a WestJet 737-700 and it went viral on the internet. And he's made a couple of planes,

like people got in touch with us and said- Out of what? Like kits? No, like stuff around the house. Yeah. Paper, cardboard, hot glue. If he needs windows, he'll run a sheet of laminating stuff through the laminator. Because of course I have one.

And just use it clear for that. If you said, let's go to the craft store and buy some proper materials and some balsa wood, he'd be like, no, no, that's not his thing. Better alert the girls at the craft store that these two spectrum dudes are coming. Right? They haven't got a chance. No, and he got a couple of orders. So he made a KLM MD-11 as a gift for a retired pilot. That was his favorite plane.

Wow. And it now lives, oh, is it the Maldives maybe? Anyway, we had to ship it a long way away and they paid money and everything. And he just finished a Lancaster bomber for a guy in BC. And they're not small. No, no, no. They're quite. Yeah, like the MD-11 was probably three feet long.

Yeah. And then as a result, WestJet got in touch with him and said, what can we do for you? And I'm like in his ear going, your parents need free flights. Yeah, yeah. Anywhere forever. No, I said, Josh, they would like to do something for you. What would you like? And he said, I'd really like a tour of an airplane.

So we went up to the hangar one day and spent two hours inside and out of a plane. He made announcements on the intercom. We looked in the luggage compartment. We were in the cockpit. Oh, it was the coolest. And then you were like, also get some flights. Yes. Come on, it's West's west jet they love this stuff

come on uh um love it do you uh what's your favorite plane uh jumbo jumbo jet uh also i like that um the one that has the pretty lady painted on the side oh yeah yeah mine's a blimp yeah yes a lot of there's a lot of. Yeah. Mine's a blimp. Yeah. Yes. There's a lot of room to stretch out in a blimp. You can eat a big meal. Yeah. Yeah.

You don't have to fold down a seat. There's tables in there. You play pool. Yeah. Well, rich people do. They go up in a blimp and play pool

with Brad Pitt. I would just imagine that if a pool ball got off the table somehow that it would just fall through the bottom. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

That's the one downside of blimps. The bottoms are just made out of cardboard. They're made out of paper machine. Yeah. Because Josh made them. Yeah, they got a crafter on it. Dave, do you have an overt? Mine is from the hardscrabble streets of Vancouver.

There was a guy carrying bags, like shopping bags, across the street. And then there was a guy standing at the bus stop. I don't think they knew each other. The guy standing at the bus stop just yelled, Nice purse! And the guy with the bags looked around like... He was kind of a tough-looking guy, too. Looked around like, who said that?

And the guy who yelled the thing, like, didn't say anything. Just averted his gaze. And then took out, like, the biggest vape stick I've ever seen. So cool. Yeah, check this out. Guy with a purse. I'll see your purse and I'll raise you. Yeah, this giant vape.

I don't know. Vape pen is one thing. Vape e-cigarette is one thing. It's like the... It's like a walkie-talkie. Or a lightsaber before it loads up. Before it sabers. I've never seen one of these.

Oh. You know vape in Calgary? What happened to your speech there for a second? You know, vaping takes me away. I don't really go out into the world, so I don't know. It's probably happening all over. Well, you've seen these guys. It's usually coming out of cars.

I've seen e-cigarettes for sure, but I've never seen like a big long. Yeah, they're not long. Yeah, they look like a small recorder or something. Yeah. Do you know hot cross buns? No, and they're like, but smell this. It. Do you know hot cross buns? Yeah. No. And they're like, but smell this.

It smells kind of like hot cross buns. I'm going to look for them since I'm here and I'm out and about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a wall. Vancouver's really coming to its own vape wise. It's not so much that like I have seen,

maybe I see more vape shops than actual people. That's what I'm talking about. Like that's the weirdest thing. Because I feel like vape shops than actual people that's what i'm talking like that's the weirdest thing because i feel like uh vape shops it's one of those things where they haven't quite figured out the regulations yet so anybody can do it yeah like you just eventually there will be some rule where only and you go in and you can just pick what flavor of juices you want for your vape they couldn't have picked a more disgusting word and more like easily to mock yeah vape. Vape juice. They couldn't have picked a more disgusting word.

And a more, like, easily to mock. Yeah, vape juice. But as I mentioned before, I'm pro-vape. It's a hard stance to take. I think it's a healthy choice for them. You know what? There's a douchey aspect to it, but they're doing the right thing. That's right.

If they're actually doing it to replace tobacco, then good for them. Or just to be seen. Just to create a buzz. Yeah. My overheard also from the world of inhalants.

Yesterday was 420. Oh, boy. 420. Yeah. boy. 420? Yeah. So, you know, it's all manner of kids smoking the pot. I guess adults, too. I guess everybody can get in on it now.

Uh-huh. Dogs. And dogs. Kids who play on logs. Even kids with chickenpox. And they let gay people vape or smoke pot. Or whatever. I don't know.

I was going somewhere. Where were you going? Well, then maybe they're going to let a horse smoke pot. Yeah. Slippery slope. But yeah, I saw a couple on Main Street. A couple of girls that I'm pretty sure couldn't have been out of high school. So I feel like they skipped school

to go attend the festivities and they were just so excited. Because all I got was I cannot wait until the next 420. So they were already planning like another what are we going to wear? Magic costumes

like it's going to be our thing that we do. Every year. It's just such a good culture. I think it's so cool. Do you think it'll change the culture around it once it becomes a legal thing? Will it just be like

you know will it just become like like cigarettes like a bunch of different people will smoke it and so there won't be like a like a monoculture no i feel like it is a global monoculture like regardless of whether it's legalized locally right so you think like no matter what it's always gonna have dudes and bobudes in Mexican ponchos. Bob Marley posters. Yeah, and hacky sack. Yeah.

Huh, too bad. Maybe you'll get a whole, you'll get whole new groups. You'll get the guys with the suits and the hats having a fatty. And there are different, like, it's not, I mean, it is sort of a monoculture, but you do get, like, there are, like, raging guys who smoke pot, and you're like, they do it, smoke pot aggressively, and you're like, this is supposed to chill you out. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, there's a guy, like, I remember seeing it on the news. He was wearing, like, a gas mask that had some sort of bong apparatus, and that looked very, like, I was like, looks violent. Yeah. Yeah. Which goes against everything that weed is. Yeah.

Or, I think, or maybe we're doing it wrong. Yeah. Or maybe we're not doing it at all. I don't think any of us are doing it. This is probably the only time three comedians have been in a room and none of them. Yeah.

Yeah. It's been a uh you know we're here every week so it varies from week to week yes yes i meant specifically today do you ever do it uh once in a blue moon but it really is one of these things where i do it and then i just end up just sitting there just asking myself a bunch of questions I don't have the answer for. So it doesn't, I don't become paranoid, but I do become like annoying to myself. Oh, really? Yeah.

So I don't find it like whatever people get out of it, like, oh, it's so relaxing. Or I can watch a movie. I'd be like, why am I in a movie theater? Why aren't I outside? Oh, yeah. You know, all these questions. I'd just be asking so many questions. Oh, that's no fun at all.

No. No. It's a lot of work. I probably do it once a year. It'll be some road gig. It'll be a certain comic who can peer pressure me somehow. Nobody else can. Yeah.

But this old vet can. Ah. And I crumble, like, annually. Yeah. And then you, I don't, like, man. I don't know, like, sometimes I've gotten high at the shows where everybody's smoking pot. And it's just in the room. I've never done that.

What's it like? It's very weird because all of a sudden you're like, uh-oh. I'm high off of something that came out of someone else's body. Yeah, that's. Yeah, I didn't even get high on my own supply. I got high on this dude's supply. Well, that's smarter. That's true.

A high audience, I... Okay, they're very laid back. So do you get just a lot of like... Yeah. Okay. They're all paying attention. Yeah, they're... But they're not being raucous.

They're positive, yeah. Yeah, nobody's like but no one's in their mind or whatever right okay but yeah it's like the most attentive audience you'll ever have okay yeah but also if you're high you're probably not doing anything worth paying attention to maybe not like man that guy's taking a lot of sips of his water um now we also have have overheards sent into us from people around the world. If you want to send one into us,

you can send it into spy at maximumfun.org. This first one comes from Chris K. This is, he's in Chicago. Hi, Oprah. Yeah. Oprah, say hi to Oprah for us.

It sounds like drunk talk And also Real School of Hard Knocks Talk Yeah You get what you deserve And sometimes not even that I feel like This is Ireland

Never starts Like a positive conversation This is Ireland Where you like a positive conversation. This is Ireland where you get a kick in the dick. That's their flag. It's just a foot and a crotch. Snake saying, don't kick my dick. Please don't kick my dick.

Does the snake say, please don't tread on me? Yeah, please don't kick my dick i would say that i wish like what is that flag i think it was one of the proposed wasn't it one of the like front runners for being like the american flag yeah don't tread on me yeah i think it's tax and in origin it's i feel like it's racist. Even if the flag isn't racist, racists embody this flag. But it's just a snake saying don't. I just love a flag

where it's an animal talking. Like one with a bear that says, more honey please. That's what the California flag should have. Yes. I'll eat your your garbage it's a raccoon it's the vancouver flag this last one comes from uh claire r uh this is uh on the bus there was a mama and a toddler in the stroller the kid would not stop saying on the butt in a squeaky voice the mom was like yeah on the bus super patient but the kid would not stop repeating

on the butt uh the mom got more and more exasperated snapping i don't know what you want finally she said oh god we're getting off the butt yeah yeah you're you're never gonna win with a toddler you can't you can't take the bait yeah you gotta ask yourself rise above you gotta you're like is this the hill i want to die on yeah i guess that's we are on a butt was this but i want to die on right yeah do you, was there anything like that where you had to decide like, okay, I'm just letting this, I'm letting this be what it was. Oh, so many times. Oh, God. Dylan, who's now a Swedish rock star.

He's not Swedish. Congratulations. He just looks like one. Your son joined Roxette. Yeah, he did. It was our dream for him and it came true. It must have been love. Oh,

but it's over now. No, it's not. What are we talking about? My kid. Yeah, just like, just where you had to give in. All the time. He was so headstrong. I can't believe that he is soft-spoken and gentle and kind now because I

didn't think I was going to be able to let him live past three and i don't know honestly and i am so patient i can't even tell you he uh wanted to wear his halloween costumes all year long and because i do see a lot of kids walking around with like a cape and i'm like that's a parent who lost so many capes we've got like the tickle trunk of costumes and my mom sews a lot. And that was a really easy one to give in on because I'm like, yeah, absolutely. You should go out in your bear costume. Yeah.

Yes. And it was also kind of adorable. But there were a lot of things like, you know, you're trying to get them at the playground not to put the pee gravel in their mouth. Right. Oh, yeah. You know what? Go suck that dirt off and enjoy it. Because you know what? Everyone's supposed to eat a pack of gravel in their mouth, right? Oh, yeah. You know what? Go suck that dirt off and enjoy it. Because you know what?

Everyone's supposed to eat a pack of dirt in their life. I'm not going to finger swipe. I'm not going to finger swipe your drooly little mouth for the 30th time. Just suck on the rocks. And if you swallow one, it'll come out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that'll be a story. I'm more worried about chomping on one.

But really, what's going to happen? Huge dental bills? Yeah. Have some stoned wheat thins. Fill that in. You'll be fine. That's true. In addition to

overheards that are written in, we also accept your phone calls. If you would like to call us, our phone number is 206-339-8328. Like these people have. For those listening, Dave was doing kind of a motion,

like getting ready to do some sort of trick. A magic trick with my wrists. Do I have anything up my sleeve? A little bit of sweat. Phone calls. Hi, guys. This is Piper calling in with an overheard. I just wanted to call in because we had a lunch at work

where management thanked us for all our hard work by buying us takeout from a restaurant that's known for their chicken fingers. One of my coworkers, upon seeing these spread, yelled, I can't wait to get those fingers in me. So excited you didn't even realize.

Also, I don't know any place that's famous for its chicken fingers. Even KFC. They're famous for other chicken stuff. Because what is a chicken finger? It's bigger than a nugget. A nugget. From Nantucket. Yeah.

Like I've had them in my life. I just kind of don't know from Nantucket. Yeah. What is, what, like I've had them in my life. I just, I kind of don't know what the, what's the definition.

Well, I have a small child and so I'm familiar with what a chicken finger is. It's a thing you feed a small child. Yeah. And it's sometimes

all they ever want. Yeah. And it's, I don't know, I think it's more like actual meat. Like it's a part of a chicken. Oh, I see.

Okay. Yeah. Like, you know, when you have. Whereas a nugget is just shaped into whatever. Right. Right. These are more like if you had the chicken breast and then it's got that little hangy bit.

Yeah. You know, the hangy bit with the white thing in it that you have to chop off. Right. I think they like coat that and that would be a chicken finger. Like a real one. Is that a filet? Is that called a fillet? I think it's called the hangy thing.

Yeah, sure. Oh, yeah. The uvula. Here's your next phone call. Hey, Dave Graham guest. Hi. This is Jeremy calling from Minnesota with an overheard. I was in the library recently and I saw two guys walking around.

One was clearly inebriated. We'll call him drunk guy. The other guyriated. We'll call him drunk guy. The other guy was not. We'll call him sober guy. Sober guy was clearly humoring drunk guy, but starting to lose patience. And this is what I overheard. Drunk guy said, oh man, I thought I was never going to see you again. And sober guy says, yeah, I know you told me you thought I was dead. Drunk guy says, yeah, man, I went to your funeral. And sober guy says, no, you didn't. I didn't have one.

I'm not dead. Okay, thanks, bye. I often think about that, but the idea of a funeral, because you know like sometimes people get their inheritance before the person passes away. Doing the funeral so that you get to see all the nice, right? All the nice things. Okay, okay. Like, I don't know. Could that be a thing?

So you're not deceased yet, but it's your funeral yeah oh okay okay i thought you know i totally understand um i guess that was that too morbid no no nothing's too morbid but you know there's a vast group of people that don't know when they're going to die. You might have your funeral and then live another 45 years. But I think that's okay. But then you get another funeral for 45-year-old you. Yeah, yeah.

Like, I don't know, just kind of... I think everyone should get a funeral every year. Yeah. Just kind of like... Because I think every year people would celebrate your death differently

yeah maybe celebrate your death could you have like a theme funeral oh sure yeah okay i would do that what would your theme be craft theme okay so everybody would have to come and would there be just a bunch of supplies and people would make crafts at the i actually specifically uh and i used to want to be cremated but you can't do the craft that way, so I'm going to need a coffin. Are you kidding me? Cremation, that's glitter. You're right. You're glitter. However, check this out. Coffin, and on the inside, everyone brings a photo of themselves and they decoupage it to the inside. Oh, that's good. And then I get to be with them for eternity. Love it. And then they cover it in glitter.

Well, there should always be glitter, for sure. My theme would be Disney's Frozen. Ooh, yeah. No kidding. Okay, so cryogenics? No, just the movie. Just you in a blue dress. Yeah.

Yeah. Doy, oy, oy. Mine would be Catapult. Oh, cool. Here's your final overheard of 2016 Hi Graham and Dave This is Brian C calling from Vancouver Just at a park here

And There was a There was a mom and two kids In the park And they hear a They hear the music of an ice cream truck And one of the kids The kids are all excited

And they're like Yeah ice cream, ice cream ice cream mom says oh no I don't have any change one of the kids turns to the mom and goes curse you curse you vile woman

curse you and whoever you spawned me horny hysterical woman. Oh, yeah. That ice cream truck season is well on its way. Yeah, it's here. Yeah. Oh, boy.

Do you think the ice cream trucks, they probably are not staffed and ready to go. So if there's an early, you know, heat wave. You're not getting the best and brightest drivers. Well, I don't know. A lot of ice cream trucks driven into trees. I think you're going to get the keeners actually. Yeah. You're going to be like all the veteran ice cream guys are going to be resting on their laurels being like,

yeah, I can hang out till June. These guys are snapping up the tires. Yeah. That's true. The old guys vaping their different. Vaping their cares away. Yeah, their different ice cream flavors.

You got where I was. I think I did. Well, that brings us to the end of the episode. What do you like out of an ice cream truck? Oh, I like when they have the pictures of all the different popsicles they have on the front. I like that. I like Rocket Pop. That's my number one.

Oh, like what kind of things do I like? I thought you meant design pops. Red, white, and blue. The red, white, and blue popsicle. I like getting one that's like a cartoon character that's popular. Spongebob. Yeah. Speaking of Pinterest fails, that's like the Spider-Man with the gumball eyes

that doesn't look anything like Spider-Man. Doesn't look anything like the package. That's up there. That's pretty good. I like probably six cylinders German transmission. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be my favorite.

Okay. Just like real economical ride. Yeah. I think so. I got you. Sure, yeah. Oh, also I like refrigeration. Oh, okay.

Oh, wow. Hoity I got you. Sure, yeah. Oh, also I like Refrigeration. Oh, okay. Oh, wow. Hoity-toity. Yeah. Because I think, you know, there could be a guy just with a therm, you know, cooler. The styrofoam cooler for Sev. Yeah, yeah. I like Brown Jug. I like...

Brown Jug? Yeah. The song? Yeah, the song that plays. I like The Entertainer. Uh-huh. Yes. That's a...

They really never moved beyond. There's no new, maybe there are like a new, like an Ariana Grande. Like how about bitch better have my money. Right? For the kids. Ice Ice Baby is a good one. I once did a story for CBC music about the history of ice cream truck music. And it's all, yeah.

This is why I love you. And it's all just like, the machine they use is, I think it's digital, but it's trying to, you know, replace this analog machine that was trying to replace like the player piano kind of sound of like a soda fountain. So it's all just like nostalgia on nostalgia on nostalgia. place, like the player piano kind of sound of like a soda fountain. So it's all just like nostalgia on nostalgia on nostalgia. I want to have a job as the piano player in the ice cream truck.

Can we bring that back? In the truck? I want to play the piano in the truck. It's so cold. Like, who's the singer? Michelle Branch said who did the video where she's playing the piano? Yeah, on the back of a truck. Doodle-a-doodle-a-doo, doodle-a-doodle.

If it wasn't her, it was the other one. No, I think you're right. I think it was Michelle Branch. Dave's looking it up. Yeah. That does bring us to the end of this here episode.
