and nothing nothing i could have done i could have learned french i could have written a script but i watched my 600 pound life life, which I actually did yesterday for a while. Let's get to know us. Oh, absolutely. Get to know us. Now, is my 600-pound life, is that the same character every week or a different 600-pound person every week? Is it a fabulous lady? It's... Oh, she...

Oh, yeah. Is it the fabulous lady? She's a dancer? I don't know. I didn't pay that much attention to it. Like, it's oh she oh yeah is it the fabulous lady she's a dancer i don't know i didn't pay that much attention to it like it's not one of those shows that i'm sitting there like cross-legged with my my knuckles under my chin really absorbing it is it a fabulous lady of dancing i thought there was a lady named angel oh okay yeah yeah but they're 600 pounds and then they they're trying to lose it that's it that's the whole episode. Oh, I see. Okay, so maybe they go to a doctor for a consult? Maybe.

Yeah, I think they usually do, and the doctor's like, we're going to give you some surgery. And they're like, all right. And it's like, then they come back later. It's like, you've got to lose 140 pounds before the surgery. I don't know if I can do this. Can't I get a surgery, a pre-surgery? I need a vacation from my vacation.

Yeah. It doesn't sound, it's not one of those thingsgery? I need a vacation from my vacation. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't sound, it's not one of those things that, I watched like two episodes of it. I'm like, this is the saddest show I've ever seen in my life. Half hours or hours? I don't know. Time disappears a bit.

Time does. Time disappears a bit. What are your other hotel hell favorite shows? My one that it's the show I only watch in hotels is uh say yes to the dress oh my god guys if i'm in a hotel for some reason it's always on and it's always a marathon so i'll watch it is always a marathon yeah say yes to the dress and love it and list it love it or list it yeah love it i love it we're gonna list it then no no no i loved it we're homeless now yeah um yeah i i feel like these are maybe all on the tlc network or the the speaking of things like time blurring all those channels have blurred

into one yeah a and e tlc discovery discovery history history channel is not like history at all No it's all just pawn shops Yeah pawn shops Yeah I remember when it started Was it history channel? No that was Spike That had the greatest warrior Where it would be like a samurai A samurai

Versus a Vietnam vet. So. That always ends how you think it's going to end. Like the greatest warrior, they would, you'd be like, oh, we have a aboriginal chieftain versus a barbarian with a claymore and an arrow. And you're like, well, that one has armor. He's probably going to win. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's true.

Like, it was always, although there was one that was like, I think it was a Viking versus a samurai. I would love to see that. I would love to see that. I thought for sure. They'd kiss. For sure they're kissing. They're both wearing helmets with kind of point, like upward points. So they were into each other. Yeah. For sure they're kissing. They're both wearing helmets with kind of point, like upward points. Yeah.

So they were into each other. Yeah. Yeah. But I think I thought the Viking was going to win and he didn't. The samurai won because of skills, maybe? I would bet on a samurai over a Viking probably. Yeah. But there's never, yeah.

It's such a great show because they never would meet each other. Yeah, that's true. I mean, until we invent time travel, and that's inevitably what we do with it. We bring over the universe and bring the warriors and a new UFC. But also, are they fighting one-on-one? In this scenario, they are. Yeah, because they would always show, like, reenactments. Well, not reenactments, because it never happened.

Did Samurai have armies? Or were there just seven of them? Seven Samurais. Yeah. I'm pretty sure it was just seven Samurais. Yeah, it was just seven. But the problem I always thought was the Samurais had some kind of code that they lived by. Vikings were just like, they would go crazy.

Well, that's the thing. That's why they'd win, because Samurai, you kind of code that they lived by. Vikings were just like, they would go crazy. That's why they'd win, because samurai, you think of training. You think of sitting with a sword across your lap for hours, just becoming one with yourself. And then the Viking. Talk about time just rolling in. It's already 3 o'clock. You just been sitting there with this goddamn sword.

This is uncomfortable. But then the Viking is just like drinking, uh, like a fermented goat's milk out of a enemy's skull or something. Yeah. Like that's not a, a way to become a better fighter. Yeah.

There's no training, but they go crazy. Which way is the way to become a better fighter? Sitting with your sword, doing nothing or drinking out of your enemy's skull. You know, now I'm second guessing myself. And also, I'm thinking, like, why am I even commenting on ancient fighters?

I could not be further from their level of expertise. But that show had a, there was only so many warriors. I guess they could have recombined. There's like, oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, they could have brought back. Oh, yeah, they could have recombined. There's like, oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, they could have brought back last week's champ. Oh, yeah, they could have done like a tournament. Yeah.

We've given the barbarian a tomahawk to see how he's going to fight. And then the historians are like, I don't feel comfortable commenting on this. He's against a dinosaur. Did they do it with animals? I mean, not did they do it with animals. But did they have like a crocodile versus a shark? No, but I mean, that's the inevitable follow-up. I think they even made like robot versions of them just to do simulations.

A robot versus a crocodile would be amazing. I think I'm going to give it a crocodile. Well, it depends on whose environment we're talking about. Exactly. That's what it comes down to. Because robot in the water, probably not going to give it a crock. Well, it depends on whose environment we're talking about. Exactly. That's what it comes down to. Because robot in the water is probably not going to be so great. You're making a lot of assumptions about the robot. Oh, yeah.

That they're not waterproof? I'm giving you the expertise of robots only because you're not saying robots. Robots. But, yeah. In the human one, did it matter whose environment? In the human one? I think the human's in the environment? In the human one? I think the human one's the official one. Well, I'm...

Okay, in the warrior one, which may or may not be the human one. Did the environment come into play? No, it was always out in a park. Okay, so if it was like samurai and viking, it wouldn't be like... Well, they're in Japan. Yeah, that's true. So the samurai knows how to use the robotic toilet. Oh, they're in modern day Japan.

I think they've had them a while. But that's not fair if it's in a park. Because if it's a pirate versus a samurai and he's got a peg leg and it's like soft soil or something. That is true. And he's kind of got a weird step because he's used to being on a boat. Yeah, he's, yeah, that's, you're right. But I think you'd have to give him. I think one-footed pirate loses to every other warrior.

Yeah, he probably lost the foot in the first place. Yeah. From being bad at fighting. I think in that case, then you give the pirate an extra thing. Yeah. He gets a laser sight on his musket. A cannon. He gets one cannon and one cannonball and nothing else.

What would you do if you had a cannon with just one cannonball? Oh, I don't know. I might leave it on my porch. Yeah. As a warning? Yeah, as a warning. Because no one's going to mess with a guy with a cannon. I'd go over to my elementary school.

Oh yeah. That's a good pick. I'd get all the kids out to watch. Yeah. The hero for a day. Guess what happened on top of Old Smokey? I guess on top of the school yard? Yeah, where does the school want it? At the principal's office?

In the gymnasium? Couple of nerds. Please blow up the gym. Dodge this ball, gymnasium. Woo! Woo! So you're in Vancouver doing the comedy mix?

Yes. And is this like a one stop? Are you on a tour? I don't really do extended tours anymore because of family. I'm a family man. Like I had a few years where I was doing about 100,000 miles a year in North America. Wow. And I was getting really burned out. On planes or?

Yeah, 100,000. Mostly planes. Like I would bounce around and I was just getting so burned out. What status do you get? Yeah, yeah. You must be in the lounge. Are you like George Clooney? I and I was just getting so burned out. What status do you get? Yeah, yeah. You must be in the lounge. Are you a George Clooney? I got up to a George Clooney status.

Nice. Yeah, George Clooney status. It was pretty good. So what is that? Automatic upgrades? Yeah. You get some automatic upgrades. You get a lot of vouchers, a lot of lounge access.

Lounge. Lounge. Real nice. What about you getting on the plane first? Get on the plane first. You get to kick one passenger in economy class. Kick them off or just kick them? Just kick them.

They have to fly, but you're allowed to kick them once. So it was pretty good. But yeah, you know what it's like. Life on the road gets a little tiring, so now I try to do a little bit better time management. It gets a lot tiring. Yeah.

Yeah, like it's, but last time that you were on the show, you, I think you were married, but not in the family way. No, no. Now you're proud papa. Proud papa. How's it going?

It's great. Kids are fun. Despite all the comedy premises that we mine for how horrible kids are, but it's, no, kids are fun. Despite all the comedy premises that we mine for how horrible kids are. But no, kids are fun. It's nice to get out of your comedy brain a little bit. Yeah. Is it like your eldest is into what?

What's a kid into these days? You have a six-year-old. I have a six-year-old boy and an 11-month-old baby girl. So the 11-month-old into a lot of sleeping. Sleeping. Maybe solid soon. She's eating solid food. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's super racist. But other than that, no, she's like little baby, baby. But the boy's super into like Transformers, Star Wars, Lego. Have you explained to him that Transformers, they're more than meets the eye? Yeah, he gets that. He gets that they're, yeah. They you explained to him that Transformers, they're more than meets the eye? Yeah, he gets that. He gets that they're, yeah. They're not just like robots. Just robots, like dressed as robots.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're robots in disguise. Incognito. So, is he, is the gateway for a kid to be into Transformers those crazy movies? Or is there also cartoons? There's so much. Everything that I loved as a kid, like really, now

is the best time to grow up as a kid for everything. Because I used to watch the one channel for whatever was on TV, and you'd kind of go, oh, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or whatever is on. Sweet! Yeah, that's it. And that's the one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles thing. Now there's like 10 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or whatever is on. Sweet. Yeah, that's it. And that's the one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles thing.

Now there's like 10 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spinoff movies and cartoons all on Netflix, all on demand. So he can be like, I'm into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the next two months

and I'm going to just watch only that. And then he moves on. Have you ever tried to show him the version that you grew up with just to see how much he hates it? Or the original cartoon. Either or.

He actually gets a kick out of like old, old crummy cartoons a bit. Oh, really? Yeah, there's a point. He was watching the original Spider-Man cartoon on Netflix. That is bad.

That was a bad one. That was bad even when I was a kid. Ninja Turtles was... Was pretty good. Was pretty good. Yeah. Compared to Spider- kid. Ninja Turtles was pretty good. Yeah. Compared to Spider-Man.

Spider-Man was terrible. Which is like they move, they animate two things a minute. Yeah. And New York always ends up like getting lifted into the sky. Do you remember that? That was like a running episode. Like the bad guy would lift Manhattan up. And then Spider-Man would always be swinging under Manhattan.

Yeah. And I've worked enough in animation now that I know that the animators are like, well, we did this once. We gotta fit this into six more episodes. And this is as juicy a premise. They're still using that premise in X-Men movies and Avengers.

A lot of the Oscar-nominated movies had... Yeah, that's right. 12 Years a Slave. When they lifted New York. Yeah. That was crazy. Yeah, Moonlight.

Moonlight, yeah. That was pretty cool. Wallaland was about L.A. being suspended over the ocean. Suspended by imagination. It was a beautiful... Yeah. Yeah.

But the... Oh, I forgot. I wasn't talking about kids. Doesn't matter. What's the matter with kids today? What is the matter with kids today? I don't know. It's just the word.

What is a six year old? Is that in, in what, what schooling are they in? Are they being schooled yet? No. Yeah. On the basketball court.

Grade one. He's a, he's in, he's in school school. I have to hang up, meet real parents. So real people. Yeah. That's school. I have to hang out, meet real parents. Real people is a weird thing. That's tough.

Because as comedians, it is tough. It's tough, but like... It's tough meeting normals. Normals, exactly. That's it. Like people who, when you talk to them, they're not doing a bit. Yes. You're like, oh, you meant that seriously.

Oh, okay. Oh. There's not a drip of irony when you're oh you're just smiling that as as an outsider and the parent thing that seems to be one of the weirdest things about being a parent is that you're thrust into these uh things yeah that you have to be kind of and it all came from thrusting to begin with yes and we're back to thrusting yeah but you have to hang out with these people that...

Some of them are good people. Sure. Some of them are good people. Let's just clear that up. But they're like people that you wouldn't necessarily ever find yourself having conversations with

or whatever. Yeah, you have so little... I mean, you find a common thread eventually, and some of the people are great. And you should expand with or whatever yeah you you you have so little i mean you find a common thread eventually but and some of the people are great but uh you know and you should expand your universe a bit and talk to people who do other things yeah yeah yeah oh interesting but some people just have they're like their job is just what they do to kill time until they die and uh like this is really sad man yeah um but i think when you when one of my big pet peeves and is why i love comedians and artists and like people is they go hey i kind of want to do this and a lot of them

just do it right whereas a lot of uh normal people feel crushed by life and then they always talk about oh you know what i've always wanted to do i've always wanted to travel and uh they just they just don't do it and you're like all you have to do is've always wanted to travel and uh they just they just don't do it and you're like all you have to do is buy a plane it's so easy to just do something right yeah uh wow i mean that makes sense yeah this guy's got george clooney status that's true i mean you're flying you know you're not flying in steerage like the rest of us well yes but most people i'm just saying like usually a lot of people's bucket list is one $500 plane ticket. Like that's all it would take.

Right. Yeah. Like I've always wanted to go and it's like to, you know, New Orleans. And it's like, well, you could do that. You could totally do that. I've always wanted to learn how to fish. Like that's like the easiest thing in the world. Learning how to fish.

So you stick in a string and a hook. Clearly I don't know a lot about fishing yeah I was just going to say you ever been fishing before? is that Dick Tracy the book on the ground over there? oh yeah Graham got that for me for Christmas one year that's amazing can I see it?

where is it? I'll see it after yeah yeah don't start reading Dick Tracy it's a novel based on the movie oh no I've read it I. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll get it. Don't start reading Dick Tracy. It's a novel based on the movie? Oh, no. I've read it.

I own that book. Oh, okay. When I was a kid. Excuse me. It was based on the novel Push by Seth. Have you gone back and shown your kids the Dick Tracy movie? No, but you know what? I do remember when Dick Tracy was out, and I was very excited for it, and I kind of liked it, even though it was terrible.

Al Pacino. He was in that too. Dustin Hoffman. Was he Mumbles? Yeah, was he Scarface? No, he was Mumbles. He was Mumbles, yeah. It's a terrible movie. Don't go watch it by the way if you're listening. Prune Face. Prune Face?

Prune Face? Baby Hands? There's Baby Hands? Was Baby Hands really a character? The little kid from Hook. Yeah. As himself. The lady from D uh dirty rotten scoundrels yeah yeah uh and then you know all of our moms yeah wasn't that was weird all of our moms who did they play they play hands a form of baby hands but but i remember the uh old dutch potato chips had a promo on on for Dick Tracy where it's like you get stickers.

And like if you got certain like certain stickers, you might get a bag of chips. But there were some where it's like you could win a thousand bucks or two thousand bucks or something like that. Yeah. And I got this one of the stickers that was like it was the character. And I looked at the legend and it was like, oh, my God, a thousand bucks. This is so great. So I mailed it in and photocopied it and wrote a big letter. Like, woohoo.

Sent it in and waited for my thousand bucks. And they were like, oh, that's not the exact one. But here's a free bag of chips. And I was so mad. I was like, you guys owe me a thousand bucks. So what was the difference between the... One was like the guy owe me a thousand what so what like what was the difference between the like one was like the guy was wearing a hat and one he wasn't wearing a hat but i wasn't like stipulated in the legend right i was like the first time i want to take legal

action yeah i was like you should give me five hundred dollars you should give me something yeah old dutch you should give me a thousand000 minus the cost of a hat. Yeah. Yeah. It was weird that I guess Dick Tracy did well because they kept making. Dick Tracy movies. Well, they kept making movies based on like dusty old radio dramas. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Like The Shadow and The Phantom. The Phantom. And yeah, The Shadow. I remember going to see that and being like, what? That was all from the era of people not understanding that comic books are cool or how to make superhero movies. Yeah, right. I don't know, The Shadow, maybe? Yeah, because they made Batman and then they were like, what?

What's next? Oh, The Shadow. You know who kids love? Lamont Cranston. Little Orphan Annie. Yeah, The Shadow. I don't even remember The Shadow. Do you know who kids love? Lamont Cranston. Little Orphan Annie. Yeah, The Shadow. I don't even remember The Shadow. It was Alec Baldwin.

Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't see it. I think. I had tickets to the premiere. You went in from a bag of old Dutch? I won them on the radio. And I was waiting for my friend and my friend never showed up.

So I didn't go in. Or he showed up late and it was already full. You don't want to go to The Shadow alone. No I didn't go in. Or he showed up late, and it was already full. You don't want to go to the shadow alone. No, I'm so scared. Yeah. You don't want to see that one alone. Well, I was 12. Yeah.

So shadowy. What was he, what is the shadow? He turned ugly. Oh. That's Darkman. Well, no, Alec Baldwin, he would put on a hat or a scarf or something, and then he turned into an ugly. He just turned ugly?

Yeah, he turned into an ugly... He just turned ugly? He turned ugly. His power is he's invisible using hypnosis. Oh, I see. He makes... He's at some sort of eastern... You know. Like 60...

Or not 60. Probably like 20s Orientalism. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He like... Using the power of the mystic east, he's able to yeah delete his image from your mind that's what shadow dr strange was also that was the whole thing of like yeah yeah

using the the uh your mind yeah using yeah i do you know what i've used my mind yield nothing nothing at all wasn't that batman as well Didn't he go to? Use his mind. Yeah, that's true. Razagool School of Cool. Razagool School of Cool. Are we going to learn to be? No, you got to learn how to be cool first. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just sit there with your samurai sword on your lap. Master being cool. Sit there with your batarang on your lap. Master being cool. Sit there with your batarang on your lap. And like how, what's the because in the movie they just kind of skip over how much time he went away to be, like become

Batman. But was it years and years he went and trained and just like Gotham just withered to shit? I feel like it must have been years. Yeah. It must have been years. I feel like Batman lost the plot when every device he had had to look like a bat.

There's a point where, like, that's just totally inefficient. Yeah. A batarang, sure. Yeah. A grappling hook. Would a batarang even fly as well as, like, a boomerang?

Yeah, you're probably, I think you're on his mind. Bats fly pretty well. Yeah, bats fly pretty well. That's true. But they don't do it like spinning like a frisbee. I don't know. Have you taken a look at them? Have you seen a bat recently?

I don't know. You don't know much about fishing. Do you know much about bats? Yeah, that's true. Oh, man, busted. There was a, I watched, I guess it would have appeared on, like, the DVD if you bought it. It was, like, a making of, well, I watched all four of them, the Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman and Robin. Oh, those ones, yeah. and robin one they were they kind of confessed that uh they have to submit designs for uh like

the batmobile and all the other things for to the toy companies months before they even make the movie because they don't want the batmobile to lose its wheel yeah because then you know what boy do i oh yeah um so even if even if they i couldn't let it no uh if uh even if they decide okay well there's no we don't have a scene for the bat boat they have to put one in because the toy manufacturers are like we've already made a bat boat bad boat well which one is the worst of those because batman and robin batman and robin by far okay i think well some people will argue that it's batman returns but that one with jim carrey no that was batman forever batman forever sorry yeah with jim carrey and tommy lee jones tommy lee jones which was during a time when america's really having a love affair with tommy lee jones

oh yeah and jim carrey yeah oh yeah that was those were america's boyfriends pretty much two very different types of boyfriends yeah like this guy's your fun we're gonna go out on the town and then the other guy's your grouchy boyfriend tommy lee jones yeah i don't care that's his catchphrase i don't care oh. Oh yeah, Tommy Lee Jones. Yeah. So yeah, we started down this road talking about your son. He likes Transformers. Is what I wanted to get to. At the moment.

No, I like Lego. He goes through phases. He gets big into Lego. He was really into Transformers. Now this week it's been a lot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And do you ever feel like you like he gets involved in the thing where you're like I also like that thing and then next week he's not

and you're like oh no let's get back to Lego. Yeah I'm excited for Lego. Lego is pretty awesome. There's the odd time because Netflix is like a portal into so much great stuff but there's these weird terrible cartoons. There's the odd time, because Netflix is like a portal into so much great stuff, but there's these weird, terrible cartoons. What's your most hated? I couldn't even...

I just have to leave the room on some of them, and I couldn't even tell you the name of them. Because there's weird cartoons that were made as a tax dodge, and they're half-finished. Then there's, I don't know, we can sell it to Netflix and we'll just put some dialogue in, but it's got one dinosaur or something.

My son will sit and watch. He goes, this is pretty good. I'm like, this is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. This is unfinished garbage. But you just have to leave the room. So I can't, yeah. Yeah.

You'll forget it. You'll see it. Yeah, yeah. You'll see it. Well, for me, it's... Dave's already in the phase of unfinished garbage. No, well, she'll go on YouTube. Oh, yeah.

And then just click on whatever of the four videos it suggests next. Oh, yeah, they do that. They go down to the YouTube portal, deep, deep, deep. And some of it is just... Some of it is made by kids with their weird dad and too much Joker makeup on. Oh, my God. So there's this one. That's really specific.

Right? That's really specific. There's this one family. We don't let them do a lot of YouTube. We have a rule. You can go on the YouTube, but we have to be around because it's always just one link away from just a clan rally or something. But there's this one family

that he loves and they're like, they're the wacky fun family and they all have video or vlogs and... But it's always like, oh man, we're going to do the Mentos and the Diet Coke. We got a cotton candy maker and you can put your own candy in it.

We're going to try to make sour candy. Like cotton candy. And they're trying to do that. We're going to fill this giant balloon with tapioca pudding and then see what happens when we throw it off the roof onto the trampoline.

And it's really boring. And it has 800 million views. It's so many views and my son like he just watches it and it kind of hurts my feelings because he's like that looks like the happiest family in the world oh you know that that's the you can tell in the inverse is true yeah the second the camera's off they can't no they're sad jeremy i told you tapioca is the least funny pudding how dare you go to your room and think up a clickable thing for us to put on the vlog your seo is bullshit but they get some free swag they get so much free swag to a point where we can't help but think we should probably start a vlog.

I know. Isn't that sad as like, you know, a creative person? You're like, oh boy, I could really do it. But like I could either do really well with my own YouTube channel or fail like miserably. And it would be the most pathetic thing. Oh man. Ryan's all and he's making

his kids do stuff on camera a little hard he has 30 views I remember when I was a kid like watching something like you know

the Partridge family or something and being like well our family should start a band like just thinking like not

just ignoring all the practical considerations like yeah we're a family we can play music yeah it doesn't look that hard yeah they're not even moving their fingers i would do that a family band oh yeah well what kind of music are we talking here oh god speed metal my son my son's really into hamilton okay yeah we're one of those families a hamilton no we went on a long road trip and we played it and then he got obsessed with with uh the music i was the same uh because my parents i don't know they had the best of

andrew lloyd weber so i know two songs from everything he's ever written. Everything? Yeah, but I don't know anything beyond those two songs. Like, I never... Memories. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. Meow, meow. Yeah. I know that one.

Yeah. What were the cat songs, do you know? Yeah. That's definitely one of them. Rum Tum Tigger. Rum Tum Tugger. Tugger. Magical Mr. Mistoffelees

Yep These are all Cats But they had their own Everyone had their own theme song Yeah They did I think you're right

But yeah I just remember that was like The car trip Music was Yeah we did a lot of that too The very best My dad had a cassette Of Mandy Patinkin the

tink the tink the tinkler singing the show because he's he's like a big broadway star too yeah he's not just the grumpy guy from homeland yeah everyone missed something that day karen yeah that's right um he's got the uh he's got a great voice So we would listen to that a lot too. What was the song that you quoted? You've quoted it before in the past. Something about a coffee cup. Oh, coffee and a cardboard cup. Yeah.

Was that on there? Yeah. Coffee and a cardboard cup. Oh yeah. Oh man. Very confusing. Yeah. I mean,

that's the thing. A young boy in Alberta who knew too many show tunes. Yeah. I knew show tunes and also gas stations used to give away cassettes. And it was like the... Give away? Yeah, like you would fill up... Because I guess there was a time you needed to be encouraged to buy...

Cassettes. Gas? Gas. Oh, okay. Like you got a free thing. Like they give away dishes with... Yeah. Gas and...

We had Petro-Canada cups. We had We had Petro-Canada cups. We had all these Petro-Canada cups. My dad got some Playmobil once. And I was like, and now every time he filled up with gas, I was like, do you have Playmobil? No, the station doesn't do that. That was a one-time thing. You still call them? You still call gas Playmobil town?

I got to go to Playmobil town and fill up. But it was, yeah, like it was golden oldies, but it was not a famous band. It was bands that had one hit. But yeah, no, I remember the Petro Canada Cups. They would do them at the Olympics. Yeah. And it was like. Just like.

With a gold filigree little Olympic torch. To get you to buy gas at this place although as someone who has a car i can't imagine having a preferred place no but if you were i guess i get air miles at so yeah i mean if you went to one of those because a lot of times especially in calgary i don't know if it happens as much here where there's three gas stations on three corners. Three corners, yeah. And that's just, I wonder if that's just an infrastructure thing.

Like, just they were like, well, we'll build a tank here and we'll build a tank here. Just in case. This will be a gas corner. Yeah. When we're building a city. When they get rid of a gas station here anyway, they can't use the land for like five years. Right. So they'll put in a community garden or something.

Something where you can't sell it or you can't build anything on it. Oh, because it's toxic? I guess. Haunted. Haunted. They use it. Haunted by. Oh, you didn't know?

You didn't know that. The fossils of old dinosaurs. Oh, my God. I just thought about that. That's very scary. That is. Yeah. That makes sense, guys.

Yeah. Oh, this gas station's haunted. By the usual suspects. Velociraptor. Also, the usual suspects from the movie. Yeah, this place too. Spoiler alert, they all die. Oh, man.

Well, all of them. We're talking about the dinosaurs, right? Yeah, all of them. Not the moment. Yeah. Do we want to move into a bit of a Max fun? Yeah, just before we get to me. Yeah. Do we want to move into a bit of a MaxFun? Yeah, just before we get to me. Yeah.

Dave, what's going on with you? You were mentioning, this isn't what's going on with me, but you were mentioning that thing of providing your mother's maiden name. When you're filling out a form like that and they ask you for like, you know, this will be the question that'll release your password to you. Yeah. Do you, like, sometimes it's so obvious. Like, why would anyone pick

your favorite sports team? Oh, right. Like, anyone could, could know that my favorite sports team is the, the Harlem Globetrotters.

Uh, yeah, I don't know what my, I don't think that I have a go-to of the question that I'll have answered. But, uh, Like your mother's maiden name, people can figure out.

That's very easy. Yeah, but I realize that I miss, like years ago, I misspelled my mother's maiden name in a password thing. No. And now it's like chronically wrong. And then my mother like told, and it was like a spelling I never would have expected. So now like half the passwords are spelled differently. Oh, that's good. it's a nightmare though yeah well you need some post-its yeah exactly i should have gotten it right have you ever had like uh multiple like multiple levels of forgetting

passwords oh yeah like i had a thing i couldn't remember my pay PayPal password and then it sent it to an email that I was like I don't know the password to that so then I had to go on that and they sent the password to another email a daisy chain of former emails it was my whole afternoon yeah and you know what I'm a better samurai for it

and eventually you had to go to a gas station to get your password oh yeah that'd be I mean there should be like an app where and eventually had to go to a gas station to get your password. Oh, yeah. That'd be, I mean. There should be, like, an app where, copyright before I say this, there should be an app for, this is called, like, bullshit password. So every website that demands a password, like, you can just kind of go through this central app.

So every time you, like, you want to order Swiss Chalet or Domino's pizza, and they're like, well, you need a password for this. Instead of putting the same thing you would put on your banking information, because that's probably what 90% of the people do. Right. You put in this one thing, or you just like. Well, there's an app called One Password. Okay.

That I use. Yours is more edgy, though, with bullshit password. Bullshit password. I mean, come on. Yeah. Mine's for the kids yours is more for that has you put in one like super long

password that only it's like a sentence long and it keeps track of all your passwords and it lets you know like hey you have too many things that have the same

password and really what's it called one password one and you there's a Bob Mar a Bob Marley song Wasn't it? Let's get together And then you can also It'll create just like a random assortment of letters

For your bank Ah yeah Yeah but you're right The kind of the Yeah having the same password For your bank and as for Yeah Swish LA. Do they deliver?

By the way, I don't have that any hackers listening. That's not true. Oh, this is the number one podcast of anonymous. Yeah, that's right. And you've mentioned it. It really made me miss Swish LA. I haven't had it in a long time. Yeah.

Did they deliver it? Yeah. So you go it in a long time. Yeah. When was the last time you... Did they deliver it? Yeah. So you go online and they deliver it? Yeah. Wow. Who goes to a Swish LA anymore? I don't do either.

I'll tell you who. Your parents. It's true. That was our big night out. We would go, you get the lemon bowl, and you'd wash your fingers. Fun. Oh, you get it with ribs or something? You get it with everything.

They bring you a little bowl of hot water. Yeah, they always bring you a little... I don't... Just for washing. That was sort of That's more of a 1980s thing. I think it was more of a everywhere else in Canada thing.

Yeah, I remember that and Tim Hortons. We didn't have Tim Hortons here until like the mid-90s. You guys were holding on to Robbins Donuts or something for a long time? Well, of course.

I remember going to especially LA when they still had a cigarette machine in the where you waited and i just remember thinking like smoking yeah because again like we're gonna try that one day swish la i think i've been once and there is one uh in kissalano yeah uh and so they're so good for so little it's just oh is that their theme song? Yeah. I thought it was nothing tastes as good as we shall eat.

I feel like both. Okay. Yeah. And their deal is rotisserie chickens? Yeah. Is that their main thing? You can get ribs. You dip it in a sauce?

Yeah. Delicious brown sauce. Yeah, brown sauce. Yeah. A different, a new chickeny kind of sauce. Yeah. Which is good. We're not going to call it gravy. Yeah. No, it's not gravy. It's chalet sauce. Yeah, a different, a new chicken-y kind of sauce. Yeah, and we're not going to call it gravy. Yeah, no, it's not

gravy. It's chalet sauce. And the big thing for the big draw if you had kids is you can smoke. Yeah, the kids are allowed to smoke in the whole restaurant. You get this ice cream for like a dollar.

Oh yeah, it was a good little family place. Yeah, it was always the grandparents wanted to go there. That was the big. Because nothing tastes as good as Swiss Chalet. Although it's not as good anymore. But I'm wondering if this is just part of getting older. You're like, nothing tastes as good as Swiss Chalet. Because you're older

or because like globalism and like profit margins have changed and so now they're like we'll suck some of the flavor out of the chicken and save

a million dollars a year. Or did they know or were you just a kid and you didn't know any better? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, is it Like did your parents like it? Yeah.

Enough that we went. Where did you grow up? Calgary. So that you did your parents like it? Yeah. Well, enough that we went. Where did you grow up? Calgary. So that you had alternative things to eat? Yeah. Yeah. But it wasn't. This wasn't the restaurant in Calgary.

No, but it was if you were. What high school did you go to? Wait, you're trying to get my password. This is a trick. I knew it. And what street was that? What was that? Well, I was.

Wait a minute. Yeah, you'd walk your dogs What street was that? Wait a minute. Yeah, you'd walk your dogs? What was that? Well, my first dog's name. I just wanted to say, long-time listeners of the show will remember Ryan was on our live episode from Calgary. Yeah. With Amanda Brooke Perrin from maybe six years ago at this place called the Voodoo Lounge. Yeah.

The Rolling Stones themed bar. Where they, the one thing I remember, well, two things I remember. Voodoo. The drunkest I've ever been on a stage.

Yeah. Yeah, they kept sending us shots. I think maybe you had some? Yeah. Shots of Jaeger. And I don't know why. And it was also We sold it out

So everyone there Had paid to see us And yet they wouldn't turn off the sports on TV Yeah I feel like there was one One TV on And there was one bar regular That was sitting at the bar Basically in protest

Watching I feel like it might have been a hockey game maybe a bit in his defense that area isn't like ripe and full of bars no right like there that probably was the bar he's like yeah that was that was thus wish i like do you ever get that where you like are going to a restaurant or bar and then when upon arrival it's uh private function oh man i can see you mean like pee and poo yeah yeah a private function everywhere yeah it really bums me out so here's what's going on with me yeah what's happening a couple things this morning i bit my tongue the hardest i've ever been before before. What? Were you eating something?

Ecstasy pills. Does that explain it? You were so excited to get the pill in? I just couldn't stop chomping. No, I was eating toast. Okay. And I kept, like, it hurt so bad and I had to decide whether to spit out the toast. I didn't. You muscled through.

But I put down the rest of the toast I was eating, and I walked around a bit, and, like, blood. Oh, no. So, like, and it's, so I've been peeing all morning. Not blood, but just because I've been. This is kind of a private function. Yeah. Just because I've been drinking so much water to, like, heal my tongue.

Yeah. I guess saliva will heal it. Just because I've been drinking so much water to, like, heal my tongue. Yeah. I guess saliva will heal it. It's a very hard thing because you can't, the tongue gets no time out. Yeah. Tongue is like a parent. Yeah. There's no days off. It's always going.

Yeah. And I, you know, I brush my teeth after because I was eating breakfast at the time. So I brushed my teeth later and it was just pink, pink foam coming out. Oh, no. It is. How did you misjudge tongue to toast? I don't know. Well, I was trying to rap along to a song while I was eating toast.

Parents just don't understand? No, something so fast. M&M or the like. Busta Rhymes. Busta Rhymes. Oh, yeah. Really going for it. It's weird with the kind of chomping motion and that your tongue is so wiggly waggly that

that doesn't happen all the time. Yeah. But also that we chomp like, I don't know. How many times a day do you chomp? 20,000? Yeah. Hold on. Hold on, guys.

I think we need to set some parameters of what is a chew, what is a bite, and what is a chomp. Oh, yeah. That's true. A chomp. Everything's a chomp. Everything's a chomp. Okay, move on. Let's keep going then.

Oh, okay. A bite is the first thing you take in a sandwich, and then you chew it. What's a chomp? A chomp is a bite. A chomp is the first. I feel like a chomp is the finishing move. Oh, a chomp? A chomp is the first. I feel like a chomp is the finishing move. Oh, a chomp is that.

Food isn't like you're not slow. Mortal Kombat? Yeah. It's not like the same size the whole time you chew it and then you just bite its head off.

I mean, it is if you're a shark. But they just do the one chomp. I don't think chomp, bite, and chew I don't think these are all part of it. It could're a shark. But they just do the one chomp. I don't think chomp, bite, and chew, I don't think these are all part of it. It could be a game show. Chomp, bite, or chew.

They show you a piece of fruit. Chomp it. You only have to guess if it's been chomped. Or like, what do you do when you eat an apple? What do you, chomp, bite, or chew it? That's a chomp. Oh, that's a chomp. That's a chomp. What about a banana? Bite it. Bite it. Yeah, you bite a banana. Yeah. So chewing is what you do after you chomp. Oh, that's a chomp. That's a chomp. What about a banana? Bite it.

Bite it. Yeah, you bite a banana. So chewing is what you do after you chomp. Yeah. Okay, okay. Yeah, but yeah. Chomp makes a chomp noise. Chomp.

So yeah, like how many times a day do you chew? You bite, you only bite once for 50 chews. Yeah, but it's crazy that that doesn't happen all the time. You only bite once for 50 chews. Yeah. But it's crazy that that doesn't happen all the time. But it's also crazy that it ever happens, considering how much we eat. Yeah. You're right. You're both ends of the spectrum. Like, over your entire life, you bite your tongue every three months.

Yeah. That's a lot, yeah. Or the inside of your cheek, if you've done that. Oh, boy. Well, once that starts, you can't stop doing it. No. But that's weird. It or the inside of your cheek if you've done that oh boy well once that starts you can't stop doing it no but that's weird

it's like a fringle how did it get in enough or how did I get out enough that it's yeah why is it poking in the mouse business yeah I mean that should be

the last thing that ever happens but happens pretty regularly yeah the other thing that's going on with me is I have girl on the train fever.

Oh. Go on. So, in October, Graham and I did a little tour of Edmonton and Saskatoon. Yeah. And while I was waiting in the Saskatoon airport, I was like, well, you know what? I'll get a trashy airport read. Mm-hmm. And I was like, oh, girl on what? I'll get a trashy airport read. And I was like, oh, Girl on the Train must be good because it's a movie now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Exactly. Like Dick Tracy. Yeah. So I picked that up and I read it, you know, like 60 pages on the plane. Yeah. Short flight, slow reader, a little bit of both. And then I kept reading a little bit every day. I can't read

at home anymore because I just go to sleep. Yeah, yeah. Reading's a real... I consider it a luxury. To have a loungy time where you're like, I'll just read for two hours yeah

an actual book is is intense like not not like a kindle or an ebook because like then you have your ipad your phone you can pick up wherever you left off but now like a book you have to highly carry a like a book with you everywhere yeah you need light It doesn't emit its own light source? Yeah. People look at you like you're weird? But if you have a light source, oh boy. Best way to do it.

Best way to do it. You can read it in the sun. Can't do that with an iPad. Yeah. It's true. You feel comfortable taking it near water. Mm-hmm.

You know, that's a good thing about a book, falls in the water. That's true. That's just a book. That's like a vacation staple is that like, that sandy soft paper book that's a good thing about a book falls in the water. That's true. That's just a book. That's like a vacation staple. Is that like that sandy soft paper book that's just sitting there next to your little area?

You don't want to leave your phone on the beach. I feel like as a youth, I read a lot of Dave Barry's. Oh, sure. At a beach or a poolside. Dave Barry's. Yeah. I don't know Dave Barry's. He was like Dave Barry.

Oh, Dave Barry. Yeah.'t know Dave Barry He was like Dave Barry Oh Dave Barry Yeah He was doing the plural No he was He wrote It was like Completely a thing Of a bicon era

He wrote a humor column In the newspaper A syndicated one Yeah He was from Florida or something Wow his TV show was Yeah

They made a TV show Called Dave's World With Harry Anderson Oh Harry Anderson Yeah Oh my god Now I'm on board I don't know how his TV show was. Yeah. They made a TV show called Dave's World with Harry Anderson. Oh, Harry Anderson. Yeah. Oh, my God. Now I'm on board. I don't care about this award-winning journalist.

Yeah. We're humorous. But that's weird. That it used to be a, that that was a job. But also that they would make a TV show based on a newspaper. Yeah. A newspaper column. I mean, it was very funny.

I think it's weird that harry anderson's not on more tv yeah but then it's also weird that he was on any tv hey come on no no no not but like as a guy whose background was magic magic that he was able to kind of like parlay that into a reoccurring role on cheers, a starring role on Night Court. He was on Saturday Night Live a lot too, I think. Yep. Doing magic? Yeah.

Huh. It was always like one trick mixed with monologue. He's a star is why he was on TV. Yeah, that's true. He's got it. He burned too bright. Is he? I can't decide whether he's like the most handsome guy or just like sort of a boy next door Ryan Belville type.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. I'm kind of sad that you eliminated me from the most handsome category. Yeah, I'm sad about it. I met Harry Anderson like in passing in New Orleans years ago. He actually owned, I don't think anymore, but he owned like a magic shop out there. That's right. Yeah.

I think he sold after some shit went down there. And spoiler alert, I thought some shit went down literally with the magic stone. Like, oh, we saw the lady in half, we gotta run, we gotta run. This went sideways. But, like, I bumped into him, and I was such a huge Night Court fan when I was a kid. It was the first comedy show that I tuned into every single week when I was a kid. And I couldn't even say anything. I couldn't even be like, I'm a comedian or I'm a huge fan.

It was sort of like, oh, you're Harry Anderson. He's like, yep. And he just disappeared. He just kind of turned into 40 bats and flew away. Yeah, spun away. Yeah, spun away.

Like a batarang. He used hypnotism to make a story about you. So, yeah, then many months went past.

Yes. And then Graham and I went on another tour. We went to Chicago to do a show there. The girl in the train made a reappearance.

I brought the girl on the train back with me. Oh, so you're still just chipping away. From October to February. Sliver at a time. This is a vacation only book. Oh, yeah.

Well, so I finished it. I didn't finish it on the plane. I thought I would. So I finished it in our Airbnb. Yeah. And I was really excited because then I could finish the book and it was going to be showing on the plane on the flight home. Yeah.

And let me tell you, it's a very bad movie. How is it as a book? It's fun. Yeah. But as a movie doesn't. I mean. Not finishing one sitting fun. Look.

Like stretch it out over a long time. All the people in it are garbage people sure everyone uh all the men are the worst although the the and the women are the worst too because they need the men right look as i can analyze this as a grown-up and as a leftist uh but uh yeah the book it's it was a movie. Sometimes you're like, oh, this, this, uh, a movie was someone's passion project. And I, I, I looked into the trivia after watching the movie and nobody, it was nobody's passion project. Nobody was like, I want to get this movie made. I read the book.

I loved it so much. It needs to get made. Right. Everyone was just like, oh, I'll be in the movie. Okay. I'm going to go buy the book and read it. No one knew anything about it. Yeah.

People dropped out. Really? Like, it was just one of these movies that, like, we own the property. We have to make it. It's a very successful book.

Everybody's mad about it. We got to go make a movie. But reading the book, I was like, oh, you know what? It takes place in England. Everyone's British. Yeah.

Maybe Emily Blunt would probably be a good character in this. But in the movie version, Emily Blunt is British, but everyone else is American. It's in America. Huh. Right. But in the, oh, I was telling you this. In the book, she's an alcoholic. Yeah.

She's drinking cans of wine and cans of this gin and tonic or vodka tonic. Oh, it's like an appraised can. Cans of wine? See, I think it's meant to make her seem like this pathetic drunk, but I'm reading it and I'm like, that sounds so yummy Yeah, a can of wine Just to be able to sit on a train and drink an ice cold gin and tonic out of a can But a can of white wine? Because you get a can and it gets a little colder than non-cans

Yeah, than a box Than a box of wine, You can't chill that enough. Yeah. It's also drinking on a train is a very, that's a very like British pastime. Oh, yeah. Like sitting on the train and drinking is like. I love it. I love the Santa.

High class, low class, everybody does it. Mm-hmm. You have to be of noble birth to compete. Mm-hmm. So that's what I've been up to. I finally made it through the girl on the train. Congratulations. I give the book five stars.

Out of? Five. Oh, that's really good. Yeah, yeah. And the movie? Four and a half stars. Out of? Four and a half.

Wow, okay. I have a weird system. They're both perfect. They're both perfect things and I've done my job. That's what's going on with me. Graham, what's going

on with you, mon frere? I went this past week. I don't go out to a lot of movies anymore just because you know, Netflix

and sitting at home. It's like you're like those other parents that Ryan meets. Yeah. I've always dreamt of seeing a movie in a theater. Theater. Popcorn with strangers.

I went and saw the film and I mostly went and saw it because I didn't want anybody to spoil it for me. It was the film Get Out. Oh, yeah. I really liked it. I really liked it. I would encourage anybody who hasn't seen it, it's worth seeing. Would it give me anxiety? No.

Because I was going to go tomorrow. It's like so, it's tense, but it's so much fun. Okay, good, good, good. But the trailers before were so bad that I leaned over to the person i was with and i was like are we about to see a very dumb movie like because these trailers are dumb movies right and i was like are they is this a warning to like it's weird how they should we get out should we get that's the movie they just show you trailers that are so bad until you get out it's that is weird how they try to like if you see a you know a fancy art movie they'll they'll give you some

they're not going to show you a dumb movie no they're going to try and like also you might go and see a marvel movie they'll have an ad for another blockbuster exactly so i was like very that was the most tense i felt during the whole time was i was like i was what were these trailers yeah what was uh well one the first one was for the latest installment of the fast and the furious is still in the title it's the fate of the furious fate of the furious yeah because it's eight this is the eight so is it f8 of the furious no that is would have been great well yeah call me call me vin but in the trailer first of all uh paul walker's still in them he's not he is noticeably absent charlie's theron is it okay and you're like okay i guess you

get to make three indie movies for every blockbuster every fast and the furious movie i love finn diesel's last art movie, too. Yeah, well. It was so good. A Walk Amongst the Clouds. Oh, yeah. And in the trailer is very, because The Rock, I guess, is part of it. I didn't know that The Rock was part of it. At a certain point, this is The Expendables. Pretty much.

But Jason Statham and The Rock's character, I guess, don't like each other. You stole my haircut. And in my head, I was like, I bet you they make them work together. And then the guy releases them from space jail or wherever they are. And they're like, you guys have to work together. Like their record scratch in the trailer? No way. Ice Cube is in charge for some reason. and there's a scene where they're driving so he's driving a lamborghini in the

arctic and a submarine comes up through the ice so you know it's they're pulling out all the stuff they did there was a point where they switched from from these movies take place in reality to let's just make them bonkers. But why not just go to space then? That's where it's going to end up. Or tunnel into the center of the earth. Because you know what? It might happen. They couldn't take the criticism from Neil deGrasse Tyson saying that wouldn't happen in space.

A Lamborghini in space. What are the wheels rubbing against where's the friction baby yeah yeah there's a friction baby that's a better than ezra reference if you must know no but i just thought of neil degrasse tyson like that's his catchphrase he just calls everybody um yeah so is it okay that i don't like neilGrasse Tyson? Oh, but he's the best. But here's the thing. He's a treasure. I accept science. Yeah.

I believe everything he's saying. Yeah. I don't think it's cute. Oh, okay. So, you don't find his persona to be. Yeah, no. Like, I believe you. Yeah.

So, you don't have to. Sell it so hard. Yeah, and you don't have to condescend to me. I can't figure out most of the science stuff. Yeah. But so you don't have to. Sell it so hard. Yeah. And you don't have to condescend to me. I, I can't figure out most of the science stuff. Right. Look, I just,

I bite my tongue every day. I, I admitted it. I know I said we do it every three months, but I bite my tongue every day. I'm dumb. I'm a dumb person. Yeah.

But like you're that space vest you're wearing. Isn't going to fly with me. I love it. It's spaceship of a imagination. What is it to fly with me. I love it. It's a spaceship of imagination. What is a spaceship? In Cosmos, it's always like, travel with me on my spaceship of imagination. This is a terrible Neil deGrasse Tyson,

but it's that tone. No, I was there. We're almost there. It's very, everything's wrought with emotion. He really loves science. He loves science. Which I find endearing. I think more people

should be excited about science. I listen to Star Talk. I've watched all the Cosmos. I'm a huge Degrass head.

Yeah, I watch Re-Talk daily. I'm a huge Degrass head. So that was the first trailer. Okay. How many are there?

Three. Okay. No, I think we should all just so it's not like an attack. We should all list Huge Degrassi head. So that was the first trailer. How many are there? Three. I think we should all, just so it's not like an attack, we should all list at least one scientist we hate. Oh, sure, yeah. Have I already done mine? You got Neil Degrassi.

I don't hate him. Just chill out. Okay, well, it's the one that you just don't like that much. Galileo. Galileo. Yeah. Because I don't like what he? Galileo. Galileo? Yeah. Because I don't like what he did to the church. I don't like how he makes

them look bad. Undermine the church? Who's a science? I heard Bill Nye can be quite prickly. Yeah, I imagine him to be very prickly. Oh, yeah.

I'm going to take him. Don't hand him, guys. Those are the only famous ones. Those are the only two famous neil's boar yeah oh stephen hawking he's faking for sure there you go see we did it there we go you didn't think we could do it no i like him what was the stephen hawking movie called uh oh with um eddie redmayne yeah that how about eddie redmayne that's a guy I don't like. Oh, boy. Yeah. Did you watch? I started to watch a bit of Fantastic Beasts on the plane.

I'm like, this is just dumb. This is dumb even for a Harry Potter thing. Yeah. But, like, you know how Charlize Theron does three independent movies and then Fast and the Furious? Eddie Redmayne, He's only going for Oscar Every time Yeah Let's see

Stephen Hawking Or What was the one where He was a lady I don't know The girl The girl on the train The girl on the train

Yep Eddie Redmayne was great in that He played the train The lady train Surprise twist Lady train It was said in the Thomas the Tank universe. Extended universe.

Anyway, I won't see any of Eddie Redmayne's movies. Have you mentioned the next movie yet? The next movie, I can't remember the title of it, but it's basically a female version of kind of like The Hangover. Like, we're a bunch of gals and we're going on a trip. Oh, Ocean's 8. Yeah, it was Ocean's 8, but all ladies. Who's in it?

All ladies. Ocean's 8 is all ladies. Oh, is Ocean's 8 all ladies? Yeah. Oh, okay. No, it's, I don't know. I didn't recognize a lot of the actresses. Okay.

It was dumb. It was dumb. It looked dumb. Yeah, like there was a thing they go to. Maybe it's New Orleans. Maybe it's Las Vegas. I don't know. But Harry Anderson was there. Yeah, Harry Anderson's there.

The big centerpiece of the trailer was a woman. She needs to pee. And they're like, just go on the zip line and then pee after and then she gets stuck on the zip line in the middle of the street and she pees on everybody and i was like we should go this is this is gonna be the worst movie okay how would that even happen that's like you're trying to force such a premise like how do we get her to pee on people and like ziplines don't break down yeah gravity

as Newton said Newtonian love was she like was she naked like why weren't her pants pulling the pee in well she's wearing maybe a mini skirt oh sure you would zipline oh yeah that's true I mean it would actually probably feel really nice the pee in. Well, she's wearing maybe a mini skirt. Oh, sure. You would zipline in that. Oh, yeah. That's

true. It would actually probably feel really nice. Yeah. To get peed on? No, no. Yeah. To zipline in a skirt. Yeah. Whenever I'm watching ladies tennis, I always think that

would be nice just to play tennis with a skirt. Yeah. Oh, that's true. A lot of airflow. It is weird, though, with a skirt. Yeah. Oh, that's a lot of airflow. It is weird though that they only wear skirts. Like there's no, none of them wear shorts. Is that a rule? I don't know. Huh. I think a lot of them are sponsored by Nike or Adidas and they only make

skirts for women. Huh. Yeah, but yeah, how come, why can't guys get in on this? Yeah. When's men's day? When is it? I can't guys get in on this? Yeah. When's men's day? Wait a minute. I can't believe they made an all-women's. Let me take that again. I can't believe they made an all-women's hangover. That totally ruined my mid-twenties.

Yeah. my mid-twenties. Yeah. And then the third trailer was for a movie starring Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn

as a mother and daughter duo on vacation. Great. Great setup. Oh, great setup. And then there's a couple

good jokes right at the beginning of the trailer. And then it's like the trailer forgot what movie they were promoting. And there's no more jokes in the rest of the trailer. And it becomes an action movie? What? Yeah.

Because they get kidnapped. And then they've got to fight their way out of the kidnapping. That sounds good. Yeah, I mean, it does sound good. It doesn't sound as dumb as the rest. sounds good yeah i mean it does sound good i think i'm selling it too well i kind of want to see a goalie hawn action movie well not since bird on a wire i was gonna say just rent yourself bird on a wire there we go we're synced up like two birds on a sandwich damn it god damn, Neil. You and your goddamn space vest. That space vest is too tight.

It's not letting enough blood get to your brain. I think that's actually how the shadow hypnotized people. Space vest? Just stare into my space vest. But then, yeah, Get Out was really good. But those trailers, trailers man I was like oh boy and maybe

the Amy Schumer one will be funny but whoever was cutting that trailer obviously was and maybe you're gonna be the one to save me

and after all you're my wonder wall oh yeah oh yeah we got some guitars here you guys let's do it guys yeah so that's that's me.

And hotels, it's often like a parade of different groups of people. Like there's, right now I think there's a bunch of young athletes. Oh, yeah. So supple. Supple young athletes. Flipping around in the lobby.

Yeah, just showing off. Just showing off. Yeah. And the, and last night there was just like, I don't know what they did. Like usually like, Oh, there's a group of plumbers or a group of doctors or, or a hockey team.

This was, there was a group of like 50 year old kind of creepy large men. And I don't know what they did, but they were all well over six foot tall. They were all big, big guys and they all looked kind of grumpy and, but they were clearly a group. So I ended up getting in an elevator. And I was there.

And then this group of like four guys ran up the elevator. And all I heard as they were coming in was one guy was going, yeah, this place used to just be swimming in hookers. Just swimming in hookers. And then the other guys got kind of quiet like this is probably not good elevator conversation with a stranger. And then they started like trying to i don't remember what they were doing but distract him and he's like yeah hooker's just swimming in it and like he kind of got like stuck on this point and then i'm like i gotta get out of here but that was the weirdest thing like he just he was just like especially the swimming

i like that they tried to distract him like they brought out there's some shiny keys. Yeah, and it wasn't like he clearly wanted a prostitute. I mean, I could get that much. Oh, that's, I didn't gather that.

I think it was more like a gross 50 year old guy. Yeah, that checked. Yeah, and he was like wanting a prostitute. I thought he wanted

to go to the pool. Swimming. Swimming with hookers. Yeah. Reenact a Free Willy moment where they dive out of the water and you touch their underbelly. And now you're free to go. Yeah.

I thought snuggling was weird. I always love, like, was it two years in a row you went to Edmonton? Because I was there once and it was swimming with women's World Cup soccer players. Yeah. And bodybuilders. Bodybuilders. Bodybuilders. Yeah, yeah.

And then you went back the next year and it was swimming with bodybuilders. Bodybuilders. Again. The same hotel? Yeah, I think it must be a convention. Do they have a good gym there? Yeah. Best gym in town at the Robata.

It's actually one broken Bowflex, but he's really huge. It's actually a spotter's convention, but they have to have the muscle people. Best gym in town. Dave, you have one over here? Mine is something I overheard from a television ad. In our cable package, we get some East Coast channels, so we can watch. I can watch James Corden at 9.30. And then again at 11. At 12.30.

Yeah. That's good. I get two Cordens a night. Yeah. And by the end, I'm just like so sung out. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And laughed.

Oh, yeah. But I was watching, and I guess this was an ad for something. It was an East Coast station, and it was an ad for these couples trips in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. And it said, Pocono Mountain couples trips. Plenty of whining, dining, and cloud-nining. They were like, the rhyme scheme is a classic rhyme scheme everyone's gonna think i mean cloud nining implies 69 yeah absolutely with an angel oh sure swimming with angels swimming this place used to be swimming with angels uh miming you could have done miming. Wining, dining, and miming? Mining.

Oh, mining. Yeah. That still implies 69. Brining. You could be, you know. Salting your meats. Yeah, making your Swiss chalet pretty juicy. Salting your meats sounds like a euphemism for that. Totally. You want to go upstairs and salt those meats?

Dodgeball League game, and as I was getting into my car, I overheard a group of other dodgeballers across the street, and I guess they were telling, like, what do you call this jokes to each other because one of the guys

goes, I hear him say, what do you call what do you call a big bitch? And the rest of them all just laughed like they got it. Like it was a joke that made sense. I don't know.

Maybe don't call them at all if they're such a bitch. Or Helen. I'd call her Helen. Oh, Stan. Yeah. You still married to Helen? We don't usually talk about our lives outside of dodgeball. Yeah.

Maybe it was a group of people with like head injuries and they're trying to actually have recall. What do you call certain things? What do you call a big fish? What do you call that tiny brush you use in your mouth? Toothbrush. And then they laugh hilariously. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. What? What is it? Is dodgeball a good sport for brain injuries? It can be a good one. Do you do below the waist only? No, not below the waist. That's where all the valuables are.

When I was a kid, you weren't allowed to throw it above the waist. Oh, we weren't. Oh, that was encouraged. Yeah, I think I remember. That's maybe why I like dodgeball so much. Because I never got one in the face. My gym teacher threw a ball and it caught somebody in the face. Did he?

Yeah. I feel like that's something. I went to a glasses-heavy elementary school. Yeah, yeah. It was Our Lady of the Thick Lenses. Our Lady of Stigmatism. Yeah. Here's your final overheard.
