Stop Podcasting Yourself - Episode 500

Episode Date: October 16, 2017

For the 500th episode, we go guestless and talk lobster rolls and Rambo, sing a song, and hear calls from some of your favourites.

Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Woo! Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 500 of Stuff Podcasts to Yourself. My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who I is the only man that I would do 500 of anything with. Mr. Dave Schumke. What about press-ups?

Yep, 500 press-ups, 500 pull-downs. We did see 500 Days of Summer together. I would walk 500 miles with you. Yeah, I watched the movie 300 with you one and two-thirds times. Maybe there was a Billy Crystal movie called 500 Sundays. Really? Something like that. Some amount of Sundays.

This is basically 500 Sundays, except we release these on Monday afternoons. 500 Monday afternoons. Uh-huh, with Maury. Yeah. Povich. Guys, listeners, hello. Thank you for listening. If it's your first time listening, don't listen to this one. Yeah, yeah.

This, I think, this episode is going to be a little self-referential. Yeah. A little navel-gazy. Sure. Go back last week, even. Yeah, last week was a real blast with a regular guest, favorite guest, Mr. Brent Butt. Or, you know, take a breather and listen to next week's episode. Sure. I like the episodes in the 380s. or, you know, take a breather and listen to next week's episode.

Sure. I like the episodes in the 380s. There are a lot of good ones there. Yeah, the 380s was a nice vintage. That was right when we hit our 10,000 hours. And then... Not a lot of people know. We started this show in the dingy clubs of Hamburg, Germany. Yeah, yeah.

And we both wanted to be DJs. And there were no DJs at the time. And so we thought this was DJing. Yeah. Well, yeah, we wanted to be like DJ AM, the late DJ AM. Yeah, yeah. His music lives on um but uh so we we just found these microphones really they were shrapnel from the war yeah yeah our first toys were shrapnel from the blitz don't you know and uh and you know we worked our way up through the... Was it Hamburg?

Hamburg. Yeah, we went to Hamburg. Yeah, the Hamburg club scene. Robble, robble. Yeah, yeah. And then we came to America. And then somehow we ended up in Canada. Oh, we dodged the draft.

Yeah. We didn't realize when we landed in America that they had a draft. But it was the NFL draft. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were like, too concussion concussiony too concussed they made a movie about it starring kevin costner uh draft day draft day and they made a movie about it starring will smith right uh what's uh the will smith one concussion concussion right he's uh he make now only makes movies that are bad looking. Oh, okay.

I was going to say Oscar bait, but. Well, what was the one where it's him and it looks like one of those Gary Marshall star studded ones that goes from. St. Patrick's Day. Yeah. Except it's like, you know, a quarter of happiness or something. Yeah. And that movie, when I read the synopsis of what it was. And we don't know the name of it still.

No, but I know the exact one you're talking about. The poster has his face big. Yeah. You know, other people's, like, Kate Beckinsale and, like, I don't know, Katherine Heigl are all in his shirt. And they're not, they're not tiny little people

who've been drugged down and live in his shirt. They're not ghosts that haunt his torso. It's like a crazy... They try and frame him and make him... They try to gaslight Will Smith in the movie. Oh, yeah? Yeah, he's like an executive at an ad firm or something like that. Because I thought from what I gathered of just the soft lighting of it,

I thought he was some magic guy who gave them all, made them all realize the beauty of life. Collateral beauty. Nice. Yes. What was the one? Collateral damage. He also was in one about a kidney or a liver or organs or something.

That was a different movie. The Brain. It was called Concussion. That was the organ. And he was in that one with Margot Robbie called Focus. Oh, yeah. That looked like it was maybe, I thought it was going to be a TV miniseries or something. It looked like it was shot in Toronto, like on the Rookie Blues set.

But that's not why we're here. We're here to celebrate us. Yeah. And our thing that we did. This is us. So, do you want to get to know us? Mm-hmm. Get to know us.

And I will. I will be drinking some of this and coffee. Yeah. Cause this is an 11 a.m. Recording. Hmm. No, it's just like drinking wine.

What's the point without the bubbles? Um, I, uh, I don't very often drink wine. So this is a novelty for me. Sure. It's a little sweeter than regular wine.

Because, like, I was watching, last night I was watching the Fudge Cops video. Mm-hmm. Well, remember, first of all, we were all so young. That was before the show began.

Yeah, that was 2007. Okay. I was so skinny. I was so skinny. Although at the time, would you have thought, I'm so skinny? I don't know. I guess not. I would have just thought, hey, I'm in my 20s.

Yeah. I can eat whatever I want. And yeah, I was like, oh my God. Because parts of it were filmed at your old uh apartment which i completely like it was a real nostalgic i was like oh yeah the old apartment and i remember this thing on the wall and the kitchen and yeah it's a it's it's a longer time than than even i realize oh yeah yeah well yeah i've had two babies since then and you think you're you've gotten fat over the years try going through

a few labors baby yeah that's right yeah but somehow you lost that baby weight i don't know how you did it not all of it where did you keep it uh, I still have the placenta in. Oh, really? Yeah. It's a bulbous thing. It's, I carry with me every day. The doctor says I should have it removed.

It's leaching all the vitamins out of my system and just pouring them out of my vagina. Um, uh, thanks for listening. Yeah. Oh, one more note is 500 episodes. So far I've done 499 episode recaps.

Yes. On our old blog or on MaximumFun.org. What we're going to move to now. Yeah, yeah. The future. Is an exciting new system where both we will recap the episode. We'll post a few pictures. But we also like you guys. where both we will recap the episode, we'll post a few pictures,

but we also, like you guys, I know people will sometimes send us a video or a picture. Hey, here's that thing you were talking about on the show. Yeah, yeah. And I'll try not to write back, hey, dipshit, I already posted that. Thanks for paying attention to all the hard work I do. So, but I know people like to dig these things up. Yeah, yeah, it's fun.

And so we have started, it's 2017. Yeah. We've started a Twitter account. Yeah. At Stop Podcasting. It can't go longer, even though the tweets are now twice as long. Oh, and we're going to make some long-ass tweets. Well, I don't know if we have one of those accounts yet.

Damn it! But at Stop Podcasting, follow that. You can submit things that we talked about in the show. We'll retweet you. Because sometimes people will send a thing right to my Twitter account, like, Hey, Dave, check out this article about ice cream. Yeah. And I'd like to share it with other people, but my regular Twitter followers don't care that i like ice cream it's only you might i know i mean who cares that a 36 year old man

likes ice cream i mean i find it endlessly endearing how much you love ice cream so much there's none in the house really yeah well that's very surprising bathing suit season's coming up. Yeah, because you do the polar swim, right? Mm-hmm. Um, the, uh, is there, is there a type of ice cream that you won't touch? Like, that you're just, like, not interested in? Or are all ice creams equal under? Uh, I, I try not to get anything that's, like, uh, where the first ingredient is modified milk ingredients. But if someone's just handing me a dish of ice cream, I'll eat it.

Right. But I'm not going to go like, Hey, give me that tiger stripe. Give me bubble gum. Right. Yeah. Tiger stripe and bubble gum were real kid classics. And, uh, don't translate into adults. What was tiger stripe?

Like a really. Orange and licorice? Yeah. It was like a really like tangy orange. I hated it. But I think my dad really liked it. Yeah. I just, I bought some of that type, whatever modified.

I didn't know. I think it was cheaper at the store. And it was fine for like one bite and then two bites. I was like, this is like, it's like eating ice cream foam. Like it's all foamy. And so like I look for where the first ingredient is cream. Yeah. Get on top, girl.

That's what I like. And so that'll be like any, a lot of like the local, you know, dairy farms do that. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Island farms, Chapman's, your local Canadian thing. Yeah. Yeah.

Breyers has one version that does it. Ben and Jerry's is all that and a bag of chips. Did you. Some of their flavors are so crazy. Was it you that was telling me that you knew somebody that used to, like those ice creams that you get in a box, who come in a box, and then they would unbox the whole ice cream and then cut it with a knife? I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so.

But they do sell, like, slice cream. Slice cream. Yeah, which is like a. A log. Yeah. And it's just like one uniform thing, or does it have like a chocolate that runs in the middle of it? Yeah, it's like a souffle. An ice cream souffle.

No, it's like, yeah, layered dessert. Yeah, I feel like somebody told me that the tradition in their family was to unbox this whole cube and then cut it up and just like eat slabs of ice cream off a plate. Oh. Yeah. Like an ice cream cake. Kind of like an ice cream cake. Yeah.

But I was like, how much ice cream did you all eat? Because like a whole box of that would last our family weeks. Not you. Four days. last our family weeks. Not you. Four days. If I'm doing it by myself, like a two liter thing. Yeah.

Yeah. I'll, I'll, you know, I'll do a pint a day. Less if there's pie. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Uh, but if I can just get a pint of ice cream, then I'll do less than a, I'll do a, I'll split a pint over two days. Do you, when, whenever you're at a pub and they say, would you like a pint of ice cream, then I'll do less than a, I'll do a, I'll split a pint over two days. Do you, whenever you're at a pub and they say,

would you like a pint? Do you, like in your head, imagine getting it? I'm imagining that they have a, like a soft serve tap. So,

slips through the cracks everything that goes through the uh facebook group gets emailed to me yeah yeah and uh yeah but then then we've got it so we sometimes yeah we sometimes comment on it just we want you to be part of the conversation starting now um and uh what's what's going on just in general well in the past when we do these hundred episodes we've gone we've done like we did a trivia one once yeah we did every segment once we did a murder mystery once and murder mystery one was really fun. And we did, I think, countdowns last time. Oh, right.

Yeah, like top this thing. Top 10 TV shows we were obsessed with for a week. Well, what are some of those? I mean, Riverdale for sure. Well, no. Well, that was after that episode. And we're more than a week. Yeah, Gigalos was more than a week.

Gigalos was one. The Canadian Border Patrol show. Still, if I'm in a hotel and it's on, that's what I'm parking on. It's great. And then that Sarah Jessica Parker art show. Oh, yeah. What is it called? Ready, set, art?

Art attack. With one of the competitors was an artist named Sucklord. I was thinking this morning, if you got pulled over at the border, did whatever, they were just going to inspect your car, do you think you could make small talk about that border security show? Yes, absolutely. And do you think they'd be like they'd like be like ah they only show the whatever or they're like yeah we're pretty proud of that yeah i think they would be well they'd either be like

proud of it because it's raising awareness that people can't bring a bunch of roots across the border a bunch of roots from your great-grandmother's backyard. Unfortunately, I think the show's pretty much mostly viewed in Canada. Well, they have a Canadian one, an American one, and an Australian. Yeah. And I think you're right. I think only Canada watches it. But it's on American Netflix, I think.

People have written in and told us that. Oh, so good. But it's just, I also worry that, cause there was the sort of thing with CSI when CSI started, like apparently criminals got really smart about, oh, well, if they're going to investigate these forensic things, then I'll, I'll make sure not to leave DNA or whatever. Yeah. Cause I always thought that when I watched CSI and they were like, oh, they

cleaned the whole scene with bleach. I was like, that's all it takes? You're just going to bring a bottle of bleach with you? Yeah, well, look for guys getting away in black outfits with big white streaks all over them. Blotches. Yeah, so I wonder if there's people who are trying to cross the border and now are like,

Ah, now I know. Stick that root in my butt. Yep. I put my boot down. I stick it root down. How are you going to stick it? I'm going to stick it root down. Thank you.

Yes. This champagne is horrible. I hate it so much. But we don't have a theme for this. No, it's just going to be kind of a regular ep with a few fun surprises. Yeah. So what's going on with me is, now, Graham, do you know what a lobster roll is? I mean, I've heard tell of it from your life.

Sure. I don't think I've ever properly had a lobster roll. What have you had? A lobster sandwich? I've had a lobster. Yeah. But have you had things that have been advertised as a lobster roll? I've had a lobster. Yeah. But have you had things that have been advertised as a lobster roll? I've had maybe a crab cake.

Okay. But a lobster roll is, it's sort of this like mix of high cuisine. A lobster. Yeah. And low cuisine. It's served on a hot dog bun. Oh, okay. So it's like lobster meat and it's either, I see

them online on like on food Instagrams that I follow. Yeah. And they're either cold, like, like a, like a lobster tuna salad, not tuna salad, but like a tuna, a lobster equivalent of a tuna salad with like lobster and celery and mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is what I'm thinking.

Yeah. Or I've seen them hot with like butter dipped lobster in a, in a bun. Whoa. That looks so good. Now, can I ask you just a lobster question? Is it like,

I know that they boil it. And you're allergic, so you can. I've never, I've never had. Is it hot? When you, when they serve it to you? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, okay. It's not piping hot, because you've got to, like, it's a little bit of work to get it out of the shell. Right. So, so it can't be hot, too hot to handle, too cold to hold. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But the butter that it's served with usually comes in a uh a little dish that's above a candle so the what

the butter it stays melted and is a little warm so you get a little bit of a warm tang do they even do this at like a cheapy place like like a red lobster probably wow i mean i'm not saying i wouldn't go to a cheapy place like no i lovester. If they had them here, I would go religiously. Christmas, Easter. Lobster Day, St. Lobster Day. Now, do you know what Kingsgate Mall is? Yes. Tell me about Kingsgate Mall.

Kingsgate Mall. It's a favorite mall of our show. It's Vancouver's premier dirt mall. It's Vancouver's premier dirt mall. It has, and has had over the years, a wide array of businesses come and go. Used to have a shop where you could buy the type of shoes that a stripper or a, you know, Julia Roberts era hooker would wear. Giant boots or Lucite, uh, giant heels. Yeah.

It used to have a store that just had, uh, enormous, not quite, uh, like tap out shirts, but knockoff tap out shirts. Yep. Absolutely. And like, they also, there was, uh, you know, they, they have, um, a Marksville warehouse. That's been a, that's been a stronghold.

And that's, uh, uh, you know, that's something for everyone. That's not a dirt mall feature. Boots, jeans, work wear. Yeah, scrubs. Scrubs. Outdoor wear. Indoor wear. Slippers.

Yeah, it's got it all. They have a furniture rental store. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, they have like a weird discount bookstore where they'll have like a thousand of one book. Which is great. That's a great store. Is it? Yeah.

I've never. They've got toys. They've got toys. For my discount kids. A dollar store. A dollar store. And they used to have an Orange Julius. Yep.

Which was closed down and they replaced it with a restaurant called Orange Orange. And now it has been replaced with, what's the name of this place? I want to get it right before I make fun of it, I guess. It could be called Rock Lobster. It could be called Roll if you want to, Roll Around the World. Well, they have, it's basically a hot dog stand that has a lobster roll on the menu. I don't have the name here. So they held on to the hot dog part of the Orange Julius model.

Yeah, they have hot dogs. They have. Do they have bubble tea as well? They have a weird mix of milkshakes. It's kind of like hot dogs, fries, burgers. Okay. And then also like fresh pressed sugar cane juice.

Oh, that's so good. Pastries, spelled wrong, pastries. I've only ever seen white people there, but they seem to serve a lot of Asian food. Okay.

White people working there. Is there a library in Kingsgate mall as well? Not anymore. Oh, there used to be though. Oh, it's not. Oh, it's owned by the school board. Oh, okay. The whole mall.

Uh, and they have ice cream, they have milkshakes, uh, and they have a lobster roll. And so yesterday I thought, well, I have nothing to talk about. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see what I have nothing to talk about. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see what this lobster roll is all about. So it's, it's not a dirty place. The Kingsgate Mall or the, the, the, the stand. The stand.

The stand is fine. And then while you're, but I went there and I was like, okay, I'm going to go. I'm going to order this lobster roll. I don't want to make a big fuss about it. I'm just going to go up. Like I was psyching myself up for it. I was afraid the person there was going to be suspicious that I was going to. Are you eating this as a joke? Yeah, is this a dare?

Are you with those teens? But they seem to have an awful lot. So I got there. The woman was so busy. One woman working there. Yeah. Making smoothies that weren't coming together. Like she took them out of the blender and then she's like, oh, she had to take a spatula and stir them as well.

These two, these fruits don't want to mix. You wanted an oil and water smoothie. You wanted an oil and water smoothie But while I was waiting there I saw that they have so much lobster stuff on the menu A lobster nugget burger Oh man Lobster shrimp wontons Okay

The lobster roll Lobster with beef dip Ew, what? Lob shrimp dumplings. No, that's just if you throw a shrimp across the food court. Lob shrimp nuggets, a lobster club. Wow. You want to be in the lobster club.

Oh boy, do I ever. Stick a toothpick in me, baby. So, all of those sound like things that are hiding a lesser quality lobster. I don't know. Why would you have a lesser quality lobster? And they have like this sort of font that is like old timey diner. Right. But then all the lobster stuff is like photo scans of just like weird color photographs printed out and laminated of lobster bits.

And it reminds me of like a block away, there's a seafood store that seems to have the same kind of. So you think they're in. Yeah. But that I, it's all like everything at the seafood store is in Chinese. So I've never gone in and asked. So do you, do you ever like make lobster or lobster is a thing that you go out for? I would go out for it and I go out maybe once a

year and it's diminishing returns. I don't think I like it as much as I used to. No? I used to love it. I would want it like Abby and I would go on dates. Uh, maybe we'd go two or three times a year to nautical nelly's in victoria and it would be like the biggest thing and the price has gone way up and i feel like the quality has gone way down or the flavorfulness has gone way down yeah i like i it's lobster so crazy

if you haven't ever eaten it because it looks like a giant bug and i don't understand how people can be afraid of bugs and also i will yeah it's weird like i wouldn't eat uh if someone like we found this huge tarantula or like like a huge like a beetle yeah or something you gotta crush through the exoskeleton yeah but once you get into the juicy gooey it would be too gooey i think i think it would all be goo so so i got this thing yeah and it's not it's neither of the types of lobster roll no mayonnaise no mayonnaise oh uh no hot. It is just lobster meat. The bun was warm. Oh, that's nice.

It was great. It was in the guy's back pocket. Here you go. And, but just like, she took a packet of lobster, like this weird individual. Single serving. Single serving lobster meat out of the fridge, snipped it open, poured it on the sandwich. Yeah. And gave it to me and said, don't make fun of me on the internet.

And how did it taste? It tasted fishy. It was a little, it wasn't enjoyable. Oh, okay. But it was $9. Wow. So it was like, this I could get used to yeah because like how much does a lobster cost i have no idea i mean if you get a full lobster in a restaurant you're i mean above depending i guess depending on the time of the year above 30 dollars

holy shit maybe up to like 50 more Maybe more. I don't know. Yikes. I mostly get, uh, I get taken out by some wealthy dowagers. Yeah. Yeah. I,

uh, I have been, uh, convincing these blue haired old women. That you're, uh, well, like,

uh, you're not interested in their state. You're interested. No. Yeah. And I'm a hung. A hung young monk. A hot young beefcake.

And I let them bounce a quarter off my patoot. Oh, that's really nice. Yeah. That's one of their favorite things to do. Yeah. Because they're so wealthy. Uh-huh. Yeah. No. Um, yeah, I, uh, uh,

have you ever like, I don't know, at work or something been taken out to a really like expensive restaurant and they've just been like, don't worry about it. Just order whatever you want. yeah, yeah. Oh,

it's, it really just like spoils you for whatever's the next thing that you go out for. Although if it's too nice, yeah, it's, it's like if they have a guy who comes by between courses with a little scraper and cleans up crumbs. Like, well, come on. You're like a dinosaur would do that on the Flintstones. You're supposed to say it's a living after doing this.

Yeah, it is a bit like a waiter comes by with a tiny elephant and sucks up all your crumbs. It, uh, it's, it is a little bit like the Mr. Show sketch. Uh,

yeah, the burgundy loaf. But, uh, I don't know. I read a couple of times I've been working on something and they've, they've just had an expense account. Oh, yeah.

And they're just like, just order whatever. But I, as a vegetarian, like even the most lavish vegetarian thing is still only like. A mushroom. A big mushroom. Yeah. Bring me a mushroom the size of the Stanley Cup and I'll drink salad dressing out of it, I guess. Yeah, so lobster roll. Lobster roll.

Will you revisit? No. No? And I won't try the other lobster things, even though they're, like, cooked. Lobster nugs. Lobster nugs. Yeah, it was more of something that I got dared into by myself. It is.

I'm surprised that you didn't go to it before. Yeah. Because. I was scared. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's also like I'm never there at lunchtime. Right. Yeah.

I don't think. When was the last time I was in there? I was buying boots at Marks Workwear. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I don't think, hmm, when was the last time I was in there I was buying boots at Marks Workwear. Oh, yeah? Yeah, because they had a sale and I was lured in. But you were upset because the hooker boot store that you wanted to get your boots at had closed?

I wanted one that I could put a goldfish in the sole of it. Not a live one, a dead one, and then we're going to watch it decompose. Is that what that Paul Simon song is about? She's got goldfish in the soles of her shoes? I think, you know what? I think that either a disco dancer or a stripper would really appreciate that song parody. More than most.

Do strippers strip to parodies ever oh that oh that is a good question because uh obviously weird al would be your go-to but then at your trashier club some twisted tunes sure pour some splenda on me Speaking of song parodies, I watched that movie The Comedian. Oh, yeah. And one of- Didn't we already talk about this? Yeah, but I just, the thing that goes viral is he does a song parody to Making Whoopie, which wasn't even a song that was popular in Robert De Niro's actual lifetime. Kids are going to love this.

Whoa, he's doing Maggie Whoopie? Yeah, we thought there were some rules on the internet. And also, it's like a funny song to begin with, isn't it? Yeah, it's about doing it. Oh. Yeah. It's not about the birth of Whoopie Kultberg. Oh, yeah.

Well, God must have spent a little more time on her. Except for the eyebrows. I keep forgetting she doesn't have any eyebrows. But she's got a lot of wit, a lot of heart. The other thing that happened to me is I went to a coffee shop yesterday, walking the dog, and I went up to the counter i made my order and i went outside and i got the dog because he was shivering because i had just given him a bath oh yeah so i went and i was gonna wait outside while they made my coffee and uh you guess what

happened what what happens to me all the time uh somebody just came in or they just didn't make they just didn't make my cup why does that keep happening to you it only happens when the place is crazy busy or crazy dead yeah because if it's busy it just gets lost in there somewhere and if it's not busy at all they're just like i don't feel like it i'm inertia is not letting me make this coffee. Yeah. Nothing's happening anyway. So I did my thing where I wait for as long as it takes to make 10 coffees. Cause maybe, yeah, maybe,

maybe the fact that I was outside, I had my back to them. I was just kept looking in and I saw that the barista was talking to the other employees and like pointing to the machines and stuff. And I was like, oh, maybe this is like a teaching hospital. Is this, do you mind if your latte is, you know, if we bring in some barista students to have a look at it? They all gather around one order. I'll gather around one. Yeah. Order.

The, uh, remember they used to give people tags at not, not at a fancy coffee shop, but at like a Safeway. And it would say like, be patient with me. I'm training.

Like they were a service dog. Yeah. Yeah. I always thought it was very demeaning that they had to wear a sticker that like they could say that if they want. Have you ever gone to those movie theaters where they their name tag says their favorite movie yes but if they're new they have to say it's training day pretty good these ones without a guest are fun um so i just went up and i said um i ordered a coffee a while ago yeah and uh nobody has come in since so what's up and they were very apologetic

yeah which they usually are do they get like let me give you uh no nothing starbucks will do that starbucks will give you a little form for a form you have to fill out uh you you you get that money back in your taxes. Yeah, yeah. We'll just scan your ID here. But yeah, that was it. But one other thing I wanted to do today is I sent out a thing to some friends of the show saying that it was our 500th episode.

And if anyone had anything that they wanted to share with us. I had them call in. And so I thought I'd play a couple. This is fun. Yeah. Here we go. Hello, boys. It's me, Paul F. Tompkins.

I just wanted to wish you all the congratulations in the world. You used to be my favorite podcast, and it's so great that you guys made it to the big 5-0-0. Well, off I go. Was he in a balloon? I don't know where he was calling from, but it's always nice to hear from Paul. Thank you, Paul. With his patented sign-off, off I go. Off I go. Oh, he sounds sign-off, Off I Go. Off I Go!

Oh, he sounds a bit like me. Pretty good. Do you want to hear another? Yeah, I would love to hear another. Hey, guys. It's me, Alicia Tobin. Well, we've been through some great times together,

and I hope I can come back again sometimes. You guys are the best. Hey, congratulations on 500. Bonk. Well, bye. And her catchphrase, bonk. Yeah.

And you know what? I don't know if it's the phone that you're playing off of, but they sound perfect. Yeah. Everyone, I think, called on sound perfect. Yeah. Everyone, I think, called on a phone. Yeah, yeah. But the connections are crystal clear and their voices sound great. Well, do you want another? Yeah, absolutely. Okay.

There's only a bunch more. Hello, it's me, Charlie Demers, your friend and past podcast guest. Well, this is awkward. Happy 500. Whoops, bye.

His cat trades whoops, bye. Yeah, and was that Grover? No, I think Charlie, his voice changes as he talks. Yeah, yeah. As he comes near and far. But, well, there's some people who weren't even friends of the show that are just sort of, you know,

kind of luminaries that I... Sure, well-wishers. Yeah, so I had some of them call in as well. Hello, it's Ira Glass, the grand dame of podcasting, and I just wanted to congratulate you as I do every podcast that makes it to

500 episodes. And so suck it, fuckers. So rude at the end. Yeah, but he did say his catchphrase, um. Yeah. And he he's got to be

near 500 himself. Oh, I don't know. I don't listen to that. Boring garbage. I just want people who make jokes. Speaking of, a really great guy called in next. Boys, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor. Well, it makes me so happy to see you boys make it to 500 episodes. And I just want to say I'll be back again later.

I'll call again. I don't care. Well, off I go to count my Deutschmarks. Did he? Who said off I go first? Was it Paul F. Tompkins or Arnold Schwarzenegger? They called at the exact same time. Here, off I go.

You know, there's a few. I'll just play one more. Sure, sure. Here we go. Hey, boys. Hey, boys. It's Humphrey Bogart from cinema. Hey boys, it's Humphrey Bogart from cinema.

I just wanted to congratulate you guys on making it to the big 500 episodes. You do know how to whistle, don't you? Anyway, I'll see you guys in Casablanca. Yeah. He was the sexiest

starlet, you know how to whistle. Was that not him? I think it might have been a woman. Oh, okay. But you know what? He's old. So he got confused about what his catchphrase was. So yeah, that's...

We have a few more. I might play them later. Yeah, yeah. Who knew that Humphrey Bogart would outlive Hugh Hefner? Well, they both made it to 91. Isn't it weird that Jerry Lewis, Harry Dean Stanton, and Huffley Hefner? Hugh Hefner made it to 91. All 91. I loved your tweet about it.

That this is like now the... The 27 club? Yeah, the 91 club. They're up there jamming with Jimmy and Janice. Yeah. Heaven's got to be real overpopulated. Yeah. Is there no cap?

Well, heaven was missing an angel. That's true. I liked... Whoopi Goldberg. A lot of people changed R.I.P. Rest in Peace to R.I.P. Rest in Playboy. Oh. Stupid., stupid. So stupid.

Also, there was some, I thought there was going to be more of the Playboy Bunny crying. I could only find one. But what do you think is going to be the, you know, they do the editorial cartoons of Up in Heaven. Oh. think's gonna be the you know they do the editorial cartoons of up in heaven oh what's the uh what you know where it's the pearly gates yeah yeah i was saying you have shown up and the angels are saying saint peter's like hey hey back back that ass up yeah yeah big fella no pocket pussies in heaven he says sorry just. Just came out. Oh, it'll just be the same joke that everyone's making about like, I thought you already were in heaven. Yeah, yeah, that's the, or it'll be somebody who never quite read Playboy and is like just piecing it together.

Like, your pajamas are ready, senior citizen. Because didn't he, wasn't that supposed to be his thing that he always pajamas and uh but then he terrorized young blondes yeah he he aged into an age where wearing pajamas all the time no longer was like ah look at this guy who's so carefree into just like yeah so what there's lots of old guys that wear pajamas all the time. Yeah, but his are silk. Ah, yeah, that's true. Gross. Yeah. Slipping and sliding that wiener around in there.

Oh, I pictured it. How are you doing? Pretty good. The last couple, this last week, I've been driving. Huh? Yeah. Oh, you got a job as a trucker. Yeah, yeah.

And I've, Usually we drive in a A long series of trucks I don't know what we call it But it's a beautiful sight Uh huh And we Truck all through the night Mmhmm

Yeah something Like that Yeah That's the right amount of syllables Um Bon Jovi What? No that's not quite right

No but it's Fun Yeah Corduroy. Boy, George. Close. I drove up to, up to? Over to?

Kamloops, BC. Right. Did a comedy festival there. Yeah. And it'd been a long time since I drove. It'd been a long time since i drove a car this is what i stripped to show everybody your headlights Um, and, uh, when we got to, uh, Kamloops, the hotel, uh, was, you know, in, um, maybe

vacation, they like go to see the pool. They're like, yay, the pool. And, uh, it did that kind of reveal of like what the pool is supposed to look like and then what the pool actually is. So on the website for this place it's like pretty nice looking pool you get there just like drain drained okay the rest is moot uh but also like at best it was like a really big tub like i think the deep end was five feet, five and a half feet. And,

uh, you couldn't like, you couldn't, if you pushed off from one end, you'd be like scraping your chest on the bottom at the other. Oh, right. Um,

what, but were you looking forward to a pool? No, but it was just the first thing that you saw when you drove in to the parking lot. Oh, okay. Was like outdoor, outdoor.

Yeah. I think probably after August, they drained that. Yeah. And it was like. Fill it with pennies. They let a rich guy swim in it. I guess. A rich guy who doesn't own his own pool.

Yeah. And only has like, you know, two grand in pennies. Back up the truck and load. I'm going to. And you know what? I don't think you'd have to die from quite a height to make a dent in that kind of thing of pennies. And you'd probably just die. You'd probably just smash your face up against the pennies.

So that was. And I went to this place called the. Did I talk about this? Getting the pie. Yeah. I talk about this? Getting the pie? Yeah. I talked about that last week. Getting giant pieces of pie at this diner. It's like old timey diner in Hope.

No, you didn't. Oh, okay. Hope is the city, uh, outside of Vancouver. Yeah. They shot Rambo. And they shot First Blood in. Or Rambo. No, you're right.

First Blood. Yeah. The first Rambo. Yeah. And, uh in. Or Rambo. No, you're right. First Blood. Yeah. The first Rambo. Yeah. And every year they have a celebration. This year is the 35th anniversary. Every year they have a celebration. Yeah.

Every year they have a celebration. I guess when shooting finished is the date. I don't know. I don't know. It was mid-September. Yeah. is the date i don't i don't know it was mid-september yeah and uh they there's this one diner in hope called the home diner that's like hasn't changed since the 50s so it's got you walk in it's got the the pies spinning around oh yeah pie case and uh all the waitresses call you hun. Uh-huh. Yeah. Or maybe sugar.

Really? Yep. Um, and, uh, yeah, I just, I just got just pie and I just, uh, like ate. How many pieces? I got two and I thought that was really manageable. I was wrong as they were so big. Did you have a cup of coffee? I did.

You had a little Twin Peaks? Yeah. You had a little Twin Peaks? Yeah, I had a little Twin Peaks experience. What types of pie? I got a pumpkin and an apple crumble. Yeah, and I couldn't finish, couldn't quite get to the end of that apple crumble, but yeah. That is, that's a great sounding thing.

Oh man, and there was a lineup out the door really yeah and i was to meet you yeah and i was like well i didn't even know i was stopping how did you guys know where did you wait in line yeah yeah because uh was rambo there he was signing autographs with a bazooka uh probably they have like an extra or something. It probably leads to the parade. They have a like face cut out Rambo that you can take a picture with. Oh, for sure. And, uh, probably like some sort of, uh, camo makeup for the kids, you know, uh, and then go hide out in the woods.

There's, there's, I think there was like, they had to demolish a bridge or something that was used in Rambo. And it was kind of a big deal. Yeah. And people were like, you know, this movie is really old and super violent. Kind of not a great thing to keep around. Yeah, I don't know that I've ever seen the first. I don't think I have either. I've definitely seen like the later ones when he's like just a guy

who can blow up i think i don't think i ever saw any of them i loved him as a kid yeah it was like rambo's the coolest i watched the cartoon show rambo the force of freedom yeah right that would have close-ups of him tying up his boots and putting on his headband yeah uh and i loved like the idea of a machine gun yeah not even you know just the way kids play yeah yeah yeah yeah and uh and like you know fake dying and stuff and also having giant muscles yeah being shirtless and having a giant gun appealed to me at the time. And nothing's changed. No, most days you can find Dave lounging out on the side of the empty note pool. Unfortunately, I got all these tan lines shaped like an M16.

Yeah, it's a weird, it's like if you go, there's another town in northern bc called uh nelson and there's like placards in nelson that are to like uh commemorate the filming yeah the filming of the movie rocks and you're like i don't know like it's fine that it was filmed here yeah it's it is like i don't think that would ever happen again though they don't they would right they would never just pick a weird canadian small town to make a major motion picture yeah i mean i would have i can see why at the time and maybe if there was a restaurant that was in the movie would have a photo on the wall like hey this is when they shot this there yeah but to have the mayor, like, and to commemorate a movie that most people will not ever see. Like, it is a rarity.

Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah? Daryl Hannah. And it's like a retelling of Cyrano. And he's got a big nose. And he's also, like, a firefighter? Yeah, I think they used the fire hall there. Yeah, because that's where I saw one of the plaques was, I think, near the fire hall. Anyways, it's not like this is where Casablanca was shot.

It's like, Roxanne, you're like, yeah, I guess I saw that on VHS. Who was in Casablanca? Very young Robert De Niro. From Making Whoopie? Yeah, yeah. From Making Whoopie singer Robert De Niro. From Making Whoopie? Yeah, yeah. From Making Whoopie singer Robert De Niro. Um, I love pie. Yeah.

Pumpkin pie sounds great. You should have dropped it all in your coffee and said, hey, pumpkin latte. Hey, everybody. And they put you on their shoulders. Yeah. You're our new Rambo. And then the, uh, but an apple crumble is good.

I, I made, um, I tried to make some pies with Margo a couple of weeks ago and daddy, daughter pie day. Yeah. Cause I take her like this. It sounds like Abby and I live in different houses,

but I, I do take care of her one day and the weekends. But, but, uh, and so in the afternoons I try to do something that's not an iPad. Right. Uh,

and so I, we made pie last week and she ruined it. She just put all of her weight on the rolling pin and like, Oh, you gotta have kind of a touch for this. Uh, and then this week we made meatballs. Oh, fun. And that was more fun.

But after I made the pies, I started making crumble because that was, you can use pie dough and just like put it wherever on top. So, yeah, because the crumble I had was like half, like it was like still had the pie crust, but then a crumble on top. It's, there is like a taxonomy of what is a crumble? What is a brown Betty? What is a cobbler? What is a crisp? Wow.

What is a brown Betty? I don't know. Brown Betty. Whoa, ram-a-dam-a-ding. Yeah. Whoa. Damn it. I said thea-ding. Yeah, whoa. Damn it. I said the wrong nonsense word.

Yeah. It's whoa, Brown Betty. Yeah. Not Brown Betty, whoa. Been a long time since I drove a truck. And man, they play that all the time at the comedy club. Yeah, you should know. I should know that song.

Yeah, so I experienced delicious small town pie. Okay. And then I drove. That's what Stone Temple Pilots should. Now that Scott Whalen's no longer with us. Yeah. Tourist small town pie. Yum.

People would, the thing is people would show up disappointed. Yeah. Yeah. With their cups of coffee. And show up disappointed. Yeah. Yeah, with their cups of coffee and their forks and a checkered napkin. They'd bring a fork in case it's pie and a pitchfork in case it's not. Get you out of town. And then yesterday I drove Alicia Tobin and her duog to a vet appointment up in the mountains. Alicia Tobin, bonk.

Bonk. She, her dog is very troubled by his legs. Has a big hip issue or leg issue. Yeah, he's got soft tissue damage. A tissue issue? Yeah, he's got a tissue issue. He's got, yeah, but not an issue that needs tissues. It needs some sort of ultrasound.

Sure. That they only have in small town British Columbia. Small town British Columbia up in Squamish. Mm-hmm. Which, so, drove her up there in the late afternoon. Mm-hmm. Windy road. That is a windy road it's the sea to sky

highway that's where uh paul meyerhaag rode his motorcycle his rented motorcycle a couple weeks ago many people on motorcycles up on that road they love it um and then uh got there in the late afternoon and alicia was like okay well i'm gonna go into the appointment uh there's tons of thrift shops around here that's music to my yeah well i mean macklemore's music to your ears so you went and you popped some tags i tried but this is a town that feared sundown apparently because it was everything was closed at five on the dot and so like i'd walk in and i'd be probably the only person who's walked in the whole day i imagine it's not a booming business the thrift shop then why would they stay open

later yeah that's true but wouldn't they be interested in their in a customer a customer you're our one customer you get a prize yeah you pick out any of the Harry Connick Jr. tapes. What's your favorite Harry Connick Jr. tape? You know, anything Christmassy. Oh, okay. Yeah, anything. I like the Harry Met Sally soundtrack. Did he?

Is he on that? Yeah. He's all over it. I think it's all him. And yeah, he raps at the end where he's like, it i think it's all him and yeah he raps at the end where he's like my name's harry but not the one from the movie um i think you're gonna find my raps are real groovy sure and then it then it goes more into a a jazz stand yeah talk about an orgasm i'll have what she's having when harry met sally um yeah so galaxy defender

i'll have what she's having so good yeah um billy and meg stop humping my leg. So, yeah. So then I just wandered around the street of Squamish. How many thrift stores did you get kicked out of? Three. In rapid. Most of the street was thrift shops. How does that work?

Like, if it's a small town, most of the street was thrift shops. And how does that work? Like if it's a small town, most of the. Small towns have the best thrift shops because they don't have H&M. Yeah. So no one gives their old H&M Forever 21 stuff to a thrift shop. They give their old fur coats. Yeah. Yeah. Their old classic kind of stuff. But who's shopping in them?

If it's only. The poor. stuff, but who's shopping in them? If it's only. The poor. But how many people can there be in this small town in a, in a Squamish? Uh, yeah, I don't know how, like. I don't know how a city, uh, thrift shop stays open.

Well, there's a lot more people. I think volume wise, it makes sense. But in a small town, I'm like, like well if all these people are donating to the fur frown then who's buying it or vice versa yeah i get is it all tourist traffic it must be because uh it's a big tourist town yeah maybe that's it's also a bit of a bedroom community for uh i think for wh Whistler and Vancouver. What does that mean? Like you. Commute? Yeah. You work in one or the other.

That's a long windy drive home. I don't know. People do it though. Crazies. Yeah. Mostly. I mean, it's, they're priced out. Yeah.

But. They gotta go back to their small town and. Hope that, uh, they shoot another Rambo movie in the town. Get us out of this economic slump. Uh, it's, do you think it probably no other movies ever been shot in that town and hope?

Yeah. Uh, it was Rambo wearing a lot of thrifted clothing. Yeah. That, that tracks. I got this, uh,

ironic, uh, Nabisco, uh, softball team shirt. Is that, did Sylvester Stallone call him? Oh yeah, he did. He told me to play the call.

Hey, hey guys. It's Big Fly here. Gratis out 500. And I will leave you to your business. And kapowee anyway I'll be at Planet Hollywood I've seen some

sliders and donairs oh signing some documents yeah goodbye oh I'm sorry I didn't realize he was still there and yeah so that's what Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize he was still there. And, yeah, so that's what's going on with me. That's great. Yeah, I got kicked out of some thrift shops, just like Rambo.

Uh-huh. Because he didn't go back to the town and nobody wanted him in the town. I don't know Rambo. I know he shot a gun and he was shirtless. I didn't even think he was shirtless in the first one. I think that came later. I think maybe he was wearing a... They shot his shirt off. I think he was wearing a green jacket. I'm more familiar

with Weird Al's Rambo. I think I am too. And Hot Shot's part duh. Yeah. Yeah, and I saw the new like the whatever the latest one was. Where they have Apollo. Yeah. Michael B. Jordan is playing.

Rambo is training a young Michael B. Jordan to be a Rambo. Yeah. I guess there isn't a young Rambo. Oh, that'd be a fun cartoon. Oh, no, wait. There was a cartoon. Yeah. I wish I'd have it follow young sheldon oh that's

uh we're all caught up in young sheldon mania i know i'm every adjective i use now just has sheldon afterwards oh boy i'm a hungry sheldon right now someone's a tired sheldon oh yeah i don't know i'm not a tired sheldon Yes you are I think Donald Trump Is a white supremacist Sheldon Speaking of Donald Trump I famously On this show anyways

Misjudged Misfired Whether he was going to run You thought he was all talk, all talk. I still kind of think he's all talk. Um, but,

uh, I was thinking because the, you know, we've been doing this show almost 10 years. What do you have any predictions? Oh, what for 10 years from now years in the future. So you,

uh, I mean, this isn't a 10th anniversary show cause it's not been 10 years. No, that's true. Let's say in another 500 episodes, nine and a half years. Yeah. Nine and a half weeks.

Well, they'll reboot that franchise. Yep. There will be a whole nine and a half weeks universe. Yeah. Young Mickey Rourke is the new show narrated by Mickey Rourke. Oh, I like that. So what is, what we're talking about the year 2027. 2027.

If mankind is still alive. I mean, Did we, we talked about 2025 with Brent last week. Yeah. No, 2525. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh-oh.

2027. So we're looking at Jonathan Lipnicki's then like He's probably in his 50s. No, no. He'll be, you know, younger than us. Yeah.

He'll be like early 40s. Early 40s. Okay. Okay. So that's what is that count as a prediction? Yes. Yeah. That he will make it to 40.

Okay. I, I, I accept. You go. Um, I think, I think they will have finally remade back to the future. I think that they will find all the people that kind of tried to stop that will have retired or passed away. Who's trying to stop it? Well, I think, what's his name? Not Robert Zemeckis, but one of the guys who wrote it, like, that was in his contract, that he had to be involved with any sequel or spinoff or whatever.

And he's like, we're not doing it. Okay. But if he doesn't, if he's not still alive in 2027, they will not even wait for his funeral to greenlight that Back to the Future reboot. Do we...

It's just, it's perfect the way it is. Yeah, exactly. It's like the only perfect thing. Leave it alone, Hollywood. Let's see. All male Ghostbusters. Maybe. I hope.

So that the young boys have something to look up to. Yeah, so people can reclaim their childhoods. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Childrenhoods. You know, like if I didn't have Ghostbusters when I was a kid, I probably wouldn't have started smoking. I wouldn't have let austers when I was a kid, I probably wouldn't have started smoking. I wouldn't have let a ghost give me a blowjob. I wouldn't have sunk all my money into an old fire station.

Yeah. Was that filmed in Nelson? Yep. You wouldn't have had that great quip about whether this man had a dick or not? Yeah, yeah, yeah i uh i certainly would never have met bobby brown in a cameo that was back to the ghostbusters too can we start having crossover movies so we don't have to spend so much time caring yes about yeah like because they're talking about making the, what is it?

21 Jump Street meets Men in Black. Okay. So. Why not? Yeah. Just do it with every other film. I think 2027 will be all dying for season six of Arrested Development. That's right.

They've got, they've still got plans. At this point, it's more of a threat. You want more of these? Oh no, I think we're, we're good.

Yeah. It was a great show. Uh huh. Leave it alone. Like Back to the Future. Just leave it alone. Well, it's weird.

Like rebooting things. Some of it's pretty good. Yeah. Like you can make a new good version of Gremlins or whatever i don't know why they haven't but you it's when they take the same people and they're like hey i know zoolander was 15 years ago but we have we have uh no more momentum yeah no one who saw the movie at first would go back to the theater to see a sequel yeah but we want the same people in it and if they continue the story that doesn't work and also it never works it never works this will and grace might work will it work we'll only know in the year. 2027.

That is a weird one, but they all look, I think that's a big part of it. I don't think, I think like you watch reruns of something, you get used to how a person looks at a certain age. And if they do a reunion thing, you're like,

this is sad. Yeah. They're all, I want them captured in amber forever yeah yeah the the uh the fifth member of the the fifth character is gravity in the reboot um uh what's her name grace yeah debbie messing yeah yeah uh i just remember the day margo was born. She was born at like five in the morning. We were home by one in the afternoon.

And that night we watched episode one of The Mysteries of Laura. And did you watch, did you stop at episode one? I don't think we made it past the opening credits. I don't think we knew. I think we knew we were not going to watch this show. What was it? Was she a cop? She was a detective named Laura.

Yeah. Fill in the rest. Yeah. Yeah, yourself. And then you find the killer and you work backwards. Yeah. But I never watched Will and Grace when it was on TV. No, me neither.

So it's fine that it's back. It was on sort of around, I think, when I started going to college and I just didn't have a TV. Yeah. Yeah. And I think even when I was. Although, to be fair, I never missed an episode of Friends, so. Yeah. I guess no one in the common room was watching Will and Grace.

Yeah. It's, but it feels like, eh why why wouldn't it still be on you know just breathe just bring back all the things we like just uh yeah you know uh but don't don't bring them back if people look way too old uh-huh there do we want to reboot our show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. With people who have our voices? Yeah, so I think my voice is closest to Hugh Hefner. Oh, Graham, no. What? What do you know that I don't know?

He's gone to heaven. In a way, I mean. Yeah, it's hard to imagine. Yeah, his life was sort of a heaven on earth baby um yeah uh well actually we have one more phone call do you want to oh yeah it's a good time to for that absolutely hey guys it's billy jo, cool.

you may know him from movies, from television. It's Billy Crystal. Hey. Hey, Billy. It's me, the jazz man. Hey, man. Can you dig it? I'm going to dig it.

A lot of people say that you, Oh, he just disappeared out the window into his hot hair. Um, uh, yeah, I guess, uh,

Billy Crystal still doing the, uh, is he doing Jasmine? He's still doing Sammy Davis Jr. Oh yeah. Sammy Davis. Is he doing Jazzman? He's still doing Sammy Davis Jr. Oh, yeah. Sammy Davis. Is he doing The Faith? Yeah.

Yeah, I think he did it on the Oscars. Oh, he did it on the Oscars. Yeah. And it was kind of like, times, they are a change. Uh-huh. We do like to start with the guest, but he had to go to his hot air balloon. The thing is, Billy Crystal grew up around these jazz guys, so he's allowed to do it.

That's right. He's a, yeah, he's a jazz bow. I'm not allowed to do it. It kills me. I want to do it. Yeah, I know you want to do it. I want to be a racist caricature of a jazz man, but I can't because I have only experienced jazz through, uh, you know. Ken Burns. Because I have only experienced jazz through, you know.

Ken Burns. So we, you know, because our guests had to leave. Well, I guess we'll start with Dave. Dave, will you lead the chat? Have I done this one yet? This is one where I was at a park. Yeah. You tell me if I've done this.

Okay. Uh, and, uh, I, I, I was at a park with Margo and she was on the slide or a swing or something. And I just, behind me, I heard a kid saying, what am I doing? What am I doing? Does anyone know what I'm doing? And I turned around and it was a kid sitting backwards on a seesaw is this anything yeah what how crazy am i it is pretty crazy yeah and uh solo he was by himself he was just seeing or just sawing um seesaw seesaw by the seashore?

Uh We always call it a teeter-totter Oh yeah I don't think anyone calls it a teeter-totter now Yeah, but you're right Seesaw and teeter-totter used to be one or the other Uh-huh Yeah

No one calls it no teeter-totter no more Same with thongs They're all flip-flops these days That's true Uh, do you Ever since Cisco did the seesaw song. Have you and Margo gone on a seesaw? Yeah.

Is that... Because I remember thinking they were the most fun. Oh, really? When I was a little, little kid. Oh, yeah. Uh, she is not there yet. Okay. I never thought there was that much fun either.

Uh, because you got to hold on... If there's a big... If you're with a big person, you've got to hold on so tight. That's what I loved about it. Yeah. She doesn't have, I guess, the grip for it yet. Yeah. But it's... She's doing grip exercises, though, right?

Yeah, she's got one of those things. One of those squeezers? Squeezy, springy things. She got it out of the back of a weightlifting magazine yeah that's how uh it was in the magazine like a cologne sample yeah squeeze this see if you like it um pretty cute pretty cute picturing a kid working on their forearm strength is that what it does yeah i mean and your grip also just like yeah oh so you that's why. What a handshake. All the people with the best jobs have done that. Yeah.

Yeah. Um. I, I remember in high school, they told us like we did like a career planning class. Oh really? They were like, it's very important to have a good handshake. Mm-hmm. I didn't spend too much time on it, but I just heard it multiple times from multiple sources. Yeah, a handshake is really

important. And now everyone I meet does a dab. Oh. Wait, which one's a dab? Yeah, yeah. Everybody's doing the dab. What's the one where you put your dab?

But they taught us in Boy Scouts like the proper way to do a handshake and stuff and here's the worst I think a party foul of handshake is you go in and they just grab the tips of your fingers

of course but you should get an instant redo yeah it's like now I've just got to like flop my hand around. You have to pretend this isn't dumb. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Um,

I, so Abby and I always do this thing where I, cause I think it's great to go in for a handshake really solid. Yeah. And then go limp. Yeah. As the person shakes your hand. That's very funny.

But I can't do it without my face going limp. So we do this thing where I try to keep my face like as, you know, normal as possible. But the whole thing, my. Your face did go limp. Yeah. My like, it's like I have a full, like, quick palsy, both sides. But now the new thing I noticed myself doing is feeding the kids. Yeah.

My mouth opens when I want their mouth to open. Like, I've got a spoon with some egg on it, and I'll be lifting it over. That's right. Did you just pop a jaw? My jaw just cracked just pop a jaw my jaw just cracked um I uh pop a jaw

mmm I love their pizza yeah is it are they all taking bakes no that's

what yeah Papa Murphy's is taking bakes oh Papa Murphy Papa John is just a bad human being

yeah oh right good for him yeah um my uh overheard courtesy of a little kid. I saw this kid with his mother, and she was holding him up so that he could press. Hey, was she a MILF? Mother, I'd like.

Don't think about it too much. To film for posterity For posterity Yeah Hey guys This is where the show is now Yeah, exactly You know what?

Hugh Hefner's left his spot Yeah And we need some greasy old perps to film Yeah, sure It'll take a lot of us Yeah, yeah, yeah He left a big old greasy hole um uh the the mother was holding up his little tyke so that he could press the crossword

button and then as soon as they walked away from the crosswalk, he just broke into tears, was just inconsolable. And she said, she was saying to him, like I was walking right beside her because I was headed back to the car. She was saying to him, we're going to go to the park now. You do this every night. We go press the button. Then we go to the park. That's the deal. Yeah. And apparently it was a deal that

he had not agreed to. He wanted to press that button all of the long night. There's no rhyme or reason to why kids just sob. I'm learning. You can't logic out of it. But the fact that they

do this every night, that the kid's like, I'm excited to go press that button. We, Margo now wants to be a part of every step of every process. Right. Like I'm making coffee. I want to help you grind the beans. Well, first I want to scoop the beans out. Right. And I want to hold the grinder down with you.

Yeah. And I want to watch the grinder starring John Stamos. Oh, yeah. And I want to pour the beans out right i want to hold the grinder down with you yeah i don't want you to want to watch the grinder starring uh john stamos oh yeah then i want to pour the beans in you handle the hot water dad no it was the grinder is that john stamos or was it rob what was the other one uh fred savage no oh what was the one that he was on? What was the Stamos one? Because it was the same time. They were like a block of handsome old guys. And he was, yeah, he was a detective. Oh, The Mysteries of Laura. Yeah, sure.

Now, John Stamos, is he a bad actor? Because I'm like... I think he's like a fine TV actor. Because he's the kind of, you hear about these movie stars who get like an agent will like to kind of woo them to be their client. An agent will like draw up what they see the next 10 years of their career as. Right. And John Stamos is so handsome and everyone loves him. Yeah. career as right and john stamos is so handsome and everyone loves him yeah but his agent must

have just been like all right some tv and a yogurt yeah some sort of yogurt like like someone also you'll tour with the beach boys yeah someone went to tom cruise and was like i see you as a romantic comedy guy and then an action star and i'm gonna get you an oscar and they never did yeah but still time but uh no one did that with john stamos it's weird because yeah i can see someone not doing it with dave coulier yeah it's weird it's like there's certain people where it's like their whole appeal is that you just kind of want them around and i put stamos in that category he's just like he's just like ah this guy just what a friendly guy yeah it seems like a fun guy kind of yeah kind of fun but ladies like him too men want him women want to be him or vice versa it doesn't matter you can and people can

want what they want yeah everybody's every different uh permutation yeah he also like uh i think he must have been the driving force behind this reboot of full house but also didn't like make it about oh is he in it he's he was he'll uh guest guest appear oh so he was the driving force he's like yeah but i don't want to yeah i don't want to be i don't want to be in it as much as Kimmy Gibbler Exactly Who's not in it? Just the twinsies? Just the twinsies And I watched a couple episodes of

The new season that just came out I don't know why I don't know why I watched any of the new stuff You liked it I did I liked the first season Is that the example of the opposite of what I'm talking about? Where it sort of aged well?

Like it's a different show now? Yeah, except now I don't know that I can watch it anymore because now it's just getting into like... I think I wanted to see Uncle Joey. He's not on it as much as I'd like. Did they cut him out? I did the finger thing. But you know what it works audio wise

too um anyways it's uh i'm just glad that john stamos still has a career and a great head of hair and a great set of teeth yeah and probably abs definitely abs you know he's not a shirt off guy nobody could be Davey could be Absolutely I just love him so much That being said I never watched The Ringer The Ringer The Grinder

Sitting in an ice cream parlor near a Marine Corps base in California with my five-year-old son last weekend, I overheard the following conversation between 20-somethings at the table next to us. Guy, what was up with you and that young Marine at the bar last night? Girl, well, he asked me to marry him.

I mean, he wants to get to know me first, so we haven't set a date, but he already had the ring. So the guy's very confused. Don't you have a boyfriend? Girl, nodding matter-of-factly. And a girlfriend. She just says yes. Yeah.

She's a real yes man. Yeah. So why is this guy? Do you think this Marine is going around? He's got a bunch of rings, and he's like shipping out tomorrow, he's literally like a guy who answers phones at the Marine base. Every night at the mess hall, shipping out tomorrow, will you marry me? Yeah, do you want, I've been watching that Vietnam Ken Burns thing. Is it good? I mean, yeah, I haven't been watching all of it.

It's too much. Slow pans. Slow pans. Slow pans. Did you just say a slur? No, I don't think so. Okay. Slow pans.

Oh, okay. And it, but there's a lot of just like that, getting a call that your son or husband has been killed. Oh, yeah. Not a call. You get a, someone comes to your house. I don't, I don't. Hello. Is your mommy there?

So it's, I feel like that's, I'm shipping out tomorrow. Well then, hey, how about we don't get married? I don't want, I don't want one of these people coming by. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's telling me you're dead. Yeah. How about we don't get married? I don't want one of these people coming by. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Telling me you're dead. Yeah, how about we, if we're still alive in the year 2525. If you come back from the war and you're not, I mean.

You're not Rambo. But also, there's a high chance that there's PTSD. Maybe you're not going to be the husband I need. And maybe you just need to focus on taking care of yourself. This is a, this is a,

Did you say a racial slur? No, no, no. I did not. I think you're programmed to just hear them. Okay. I am sensitive. One of the kids yelled out, Sorry, I don't have a ring dingy thing.

A bell? He looked genuinely confused that he couldn't remember the word bell. You know. A ringer dinger. Yeah, a ringer dinger thing to warn you. If you hear a bike with a bell, if you hear the bell go off,

is that anything to you? No. To me, it's like somebody's having fun on the bike. Yeah. It's like a car alarm. No one's bringing in a car, it's just the car's going off. No, I don't think of that as a thing where

I have to do anything. Yeah. I think, like, I hear it, and I'm like, that's just And if I get hit by a bike, okay. Yeah. Like, it'll hurt. I'm not gonna love it, but. Yeah, it'll hurt.
