Starting point is 00:01:31 It's Allie and Whistle. That's me. Hello. Hi. Hi. Thank you for coming down and being on the show. So excited. Just hit myself in the tooth with a metal straw.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Okay, let's talk about it. I just hit myself in the tooth with a metal straw. Okay, let's talk about it. So before the show, sometimes on the show we have coffee. Sure. And today it's a nice sunny day outside and I have this cold brew coffee in my fridge. So I offered it to Graham and Allie. And I really, it's the worst possible.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Sound wise. Yeah, because, you know, plastic straws are killing the environment. Yeah. So I have these metal straws and jangle your glass there for me. Oh no. Yeah, listen to it. Get right up in there.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Yeah, no, it's going to be Ooh, Santa's on his way. Yeah, it's really kind of too excited. They're nice and gold. Yeah, they, it's going to be. Oh, Santa's on his way. Yeah, it's really kind of. Too excited. They're nice and gold. Yeah, they are gold. They're very nice. And I thought, oh, this will be nice, like fun cookie cocktail straws that I can have.
Starting point is 00:02:38 And then I, you know, we give them to the kids and they just chew them. Yeah. Well, it's, I don't know. I feel like it was a thing that I authentically did not know was happening. That the straw, that straws all of a sudden just went out. Yeah, they're done. They're done. They're done.
Starting point is 00:02:56 And if you have one, you're bad. Yeah. It's very quick. But it was, it was, it felt like it was overnight because I went to a show and they gave me a drink without a straw. And I was like, huh. Well, that's a weird. And they're going to ban them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:11 But like it's been 15 years of plastic bags slowly being phased out at grocery stores. Like, do you have your own bags? No. Okay. Well, it's five cents a bag if you want. Is it going to be like that with straws? I don't know. I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:03:25 What are they going to do for milkshakes? This is true. Metal ones. You know? McDonald's? Oh, yeah. It's hard. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:33 What about Dairy Queen spoons? They can't be good for sharks. No. Sharks got a belly full of Dairy Queen spoons. No, it's bad. Oh, boy. Do you want to get to know us? Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Ooh. Get to know us. Allie, this is your you want to get to know us? Oh, absolutely. Ooh. Get to know us. Allie, this is your first time to the show. Yes. What's that like? Oh, my gosh. Just a joy. Big microphone, just nothing but time.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah. I'm just going to talk into it. Until you're blue in the face. You're doing great. You're doing great. Oh, thank you. Bring us up to speed. Tell us a bit about yourself well first time okay so that's so much speed to bring you up to um oh what is happening with me i live in vancouver are you from here no i'm from colona
Starting point is 00:04:18 oh what's that like ah well uh every time i say i'm from colona i get a really different reaction depending on the person's personal experience with Kelowna. Okay, so my reaction would be, you jet ski? Yeah. Where's your neck tattoo would be my reaction. My jet ski neck tattoo. I got it covered up. It was a bad decision.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Who's playing Wakefest this year? I Mother Earth? They had to cancel Wakefest. Why? Because, I don't know, I think they probably trashed everything. And then they rebranded it as the same thing, but it's called Center of Gravity. What is Wakefest? I've known it as a real meathead summer party.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Yeah. Well, it's two things. First off, it was supposed to be like a wakeboarding competition, I think. But what it really was was a place to buy a ticket so you could underage drink in Kelowna City Park. Okay. Nice. I never went because I was too cool for that. You were too cool for teenage drinking or too cool for the festival?
Starting point is 00:05:19 I mean, probably I wasn't cool enough for either is the real answer. But at the time, I would have told you it was too cool. Yeah. For the listeners out there, Kelowna, how would you best describe it? Don't look at me. I think Katie Ellen Humphrey's past guest described it as if Blink-182 designed a town. Yeah. That's valid.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah. Yeah. Like Maine, Ed Hardy breeding point. Yeah. The Maine, Ed Hardy breeding point. Yeah, the Maine, Ed Hardy breeding grounds. Sunny, but you'll probably see someone bring their snake to the beach. What? I've seen that. I've definitely seen, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Oh, I don't. How big a snake? Like an arm, arm length. Uh-huh. Arm length. You want to keep that about an arm's length. Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:06:07 And was it on a leash? No. In, like, a cat carrier? No, just loose. Just a loose snake at the beach. Loose snake. Well, like, how good was it to recall? Yeah. Come here, snake.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Here, snake. Here, slithers. Yeah, it was, it was a lot. It was a lot. It was going in the water. I don't know. Oh, really? Yeah, that's worse. Oh, gross. Was it on a little boogie board? It was a lot. It was going in the water. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Was it on a little boogie board? It was snake surfing. It was longboarding? Wakefest? Snakefest? Oh boy. There is a marketing thing we could have had. So on the flip side, a lot of wineries and old people. Is it flooded right now? I think so. So on the flip side A lot of wineries And you know Old people Yeah And
Starting point is 00:06:46 Is it flooded right now? I think so I don't know You don't keep touch Not up to date No Fair enough You still have family there?
Starting point is 00:06:54 I do My parents live there But they're above water They're above water Yeah they live on a big mountain So they're If they're flooding Then we're all dead
Starting point is 00:07:01 Oh they live on a big mountain Well I think they're like this then Oh Oh who's that coming around? Oh Oh Oh If they're flooding, then we're all dead. Oh, they live on a big mountain? Well, I think they're like this sand. Oh. Oh, who's that coming around? Oh. That's a giant snake. And so when did you decide to move to Vancouver? I moved here to go to UBC.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Okay. Big school we have here in Vancouver. I don't know if you've heard of it. And then I never left. Yeah. Yeah, but I love it here. It's great. And what did you do? Oh, so you're not being kept here. I don't know if you've heard of it. And then I never left. Yeah. Yeah, but I love it here. It's great. And what did you do?
Starting point is 00:07:28 Oh, so you're not being kept here. No, I'm willingly here. Oh, good. I'm loving it. What did you do at UBC? I studied linguistics. Really? Yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Name five words. Bear. Tree. Fart. Carrot. Snack. All right. She checks out.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Yeah. I just didn't want her to be one of these fake linguistic girls. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. Why linguistics? Right? Oh, why?
Starting point is 00:07:58 Well, I started, I wanted to be going to speech pathology when I was 18, because apparently that's when you have to choose what you want to do for your whole life. Yeah. That's why I was never drafted into the NHL. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I never went to the moon. So there you go. But it was because I didn't have a big enough bladder. You have to be able to hold it for a long time. For like the whole time
Starting point is 00:08:20 you're on the moon, right? They don't know what to pee at there yet. Yeah, you can't pee. Well, that's why they give them Tang. Yeah. They just't know what to pee at there yet. Yeah, you can't pee on the moon. Well, that's why they give them Tang. Yeah, they just eat their orange juice.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Eat the Tang. Yeah. Those astronauts eat a lot of Tang, eh? The first person who gets to pee on the moon, that'll be a real,
Starting point is 00:08:38 that'll be a really big, that'll be the next big thing. One big pee for man. One big pee for man. One big P for mankind. Okay, guys, let's get serious. Linguistics. Ugh, right? Did you finish it?
Starting point is 00:08:54 Did you get a degree in linguistics? I did. I did like a whole Shabatsky on it. Shabatsky? I mean, that's probably a linguistics term. I'll take your word for it. Yeah, I'll say. Yeah, I did like an honors thesis, and I really doubled down on that.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Wow. Yeah, studied. And is that why your sketch duo is called, it's a duo, right? Yeah. Brunch? Mm-hmm. Because this is like, it's words, man. Yeah, I was like, wow, you add two words together to get this other word. And that's me.
Starting point is 00:09:20 That's fun. Did your sketch partner know about brunch before you introduced the word? Her name's Carrie I introduced her to lunch and breakfast and then also brunch All at the same time? Honestly, I'm the brains behind the operation Now, why, and then you got out of school and you were like, no, no speech pathology Yeah, well, halfway through school, I.
Starting point is 00:09:46 No speaking. No speech pathology. No, no. Well, okay, the real reason I decided not to do speech pathology is there was a bunch of classes with a bunch of, like, people who were going to go into it. And they were all so weird. Like, weird. They're pathological. Like, yeah, there was like a, yeah, there was a, we had a speaker come in who like couldn't, he'd been in a motorcycle accident and he had like a certain kind of aphasia where he couldn't speak, but he was like giving us this presentation.
Starting point is 00:10:16 It was amazing, the presentation. But everyone in this class was asking him like deeply personal questions. him like deeply personal questions like someone asked him if he believed in god and if his family like what supported him through his motor circle accident and i was like why are you all like this i have uh one quick question yeah i was like what can you make a motorcycle sound yeah if i make a motorcycle sound we will be, you know, because of PTSD in you. So these people were just so weird that you were like... I was like, I can't do this. Yeah, and then I got really into just very, I don't know, theoretical nerdy linguistics. And then I got into comedy.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Give me an example of theoretical nerdy linguistics. So, like my whole... First of all, give me an example of regular linguistics. Okay. Well, I guess it's all lame. So it's like the study of language. So it's like you... I don't learn...
Starting point is 00:11:11 I didn't learn languages. You like take language as like your data and then you study it. Right. It's a real... It's a real cool thing to do. What's a diphthong?
Starting point is 00:11:20 Oh, yeah. That's like two vowels put together. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Like what? Like, like, like two vowels put together. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Like what? Like, like, like, ow.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Ow. Like, it's like your mouth changes shape halfway through. Oh. This is going to be scintillating listening. No, this is good. Is it good? Okay, is everyone learning? You're going to be a real linguist listening.
Starting point is 00:11:40 This is like, you know, one of my favorite comedians, Michael Richards, he likes to talk about how there's these words. And so what are your thoughts? Words. Well, do you remember when he made his apology on Letterman and Seinfeld kept telling the audience not to laugh during the apology? Oh, no. Because you're seeing Kramer being sincere yeah yeah yeah and it was so and it was very funny i mean oh what a weird thing to have how do you come back from that uh he didn't yeah that's true yeah
Starting point is 00:12:18 i think he he uh he you know he gets a syndication check every six months and buys another Harley. I don't know what interests this guy. Another Harley. So what's a nerdy linguist? Right. So basically, my whole honors thesis was on one uh speed uh like sound pattern in a language like a dead language in papa new guinea that was like was only ever spoken by this is the worst yeah yeah no i was really hard for me i wanna i wanna hear about this yeah so it was like the difference between it's like
Starting point is 00:13:00 it's like the same sound pattern as what happens when when Sally sells seashells by the seashore is hard to say. Because it says turn into shiz. Says turn into shiz. And that was something that happened in Papua New Guinea a long time ago. So long ago. And girls become mothers who turn into lovers. Wait, no, that's the other way. What are the other ones of that
Starting point is 00:13:25 there's she said i'm a bitch i'm a lover yeah i'm a mother what do i what songs do i hear while waiting for my prescription to be sixpence none the richer that's hard to say that's hard yeah yeah. Oh, that's hard. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, it's weird. It's weird when you go into a thing. Because I remember when I first wanted to do stand-up as a teenager. And then I went to a bunch of open mic nights. And all the people that were there were like real weirdos. And I was like, oh, I don't know about this.
Starting point is 00:14:02 You're like, oh, this doesn't feel like me. Yeah. I'm cool. So the lesson is just try and be cool, everybody, because you don't know. You might be dissuading somebody from a whole career path. Yeah. I mean, follow your bliss, but also don't just remember, don't be blissful in public. And don't bring your snake to the beach because you might dissuade other people from going to the beach.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Yeah. I mean, it doesn't even take it. The fact that there might be somebody at the beach with a snake only makes the beach worse to me. Yeah. Is it a sand beach or a rock beach? Oh, sand beach. Yeah. You can make all sorts of cool shapes.
Starting point is 00:14:37 That's true. Yeah. Are you a beach person? Oh, I love the beach. Really? Good beach. Yeah. Um, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Are you a beach person? Oh, I love the beach. Really? Good beach. Yeah. Cause I don't think Dave, Dave and I are both aware. We're firmly in the non beach. No, that's true.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Yeah. Although with your kids, do you have to, do you have to bend that rule and end up at the beach? Of course. Yeah. Yeah. And I, I, it's been, um, the last few days have been so sunny. Yeah. It's like, it's suddenly summer. Um, which is a song from a little shop of horrors. have been so sunny. Yeah. It's like, it's suddenly summer, um,
Starting point is 00:15:07 which is a song from, uh, Little Shop of Horrors. Uh, and it's, uh, like we've had, you know, a week of spring and then it suddenly became summer.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And it's just like, cause I'm anti, uh, sunscreen. I don't believe in it. I won't wear it. If I am taking off my shirt and I'm going to be outside a long time, I'll do it. I don't believe in it. All right. I won't wear it. If I am taking off my shirt and I'm going to be outside a long time, I'll do it. But like, if I'm just like, I'm going to be sitting in a park.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Right. You don't grease up? No, I'd rather get a sunburn. It's honestly, I'd rather get a sunburn a thousand times. But I don't make my kids adhere to this rule. So if we're just going to the park or whatever. Yeah. Just going outside in the backyard to grease them up.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Yeah. And everything sticks to. Oh yeah. Like with kids, especially it's just like, we don't even, we haven't been to the beach, but grass,
Starting point is 00:15:56 bugs, rocks. Yeah. Sand. It's mostly sand. These dust storms have been going around and the kids was are like, Pigpen in Peanuts comics. Yeah. Pigpen wasn't necessarily a dirty kid.
Starting point is 00:16:11 He just might have been wearing sunscreen. Oh, that's an interesting theory. Thank you. Yeah. But you like the beach. I like the beach. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Like during the summer, what are we, once a week down at the beach? Oh, that's a good question. I don't know. Like, sure. Yeah, I'll say sure. Why not? Yeah. Like during the summer, what are we once a week down at the beach? Oh, that's a good question. I don't know. Like, sure. Yeah, I'll say sure. Why not? Yeah. I'll tell you why not.
Starting point is 00:16:30 The crowd. Yeah. The grossness of sitting in the sun with no protection. I get that. What about the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, The Beach? I have seen that. I don't watch that once a week. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:42 I don't have time. No, that's true. Yeah. What takes up your time during a week. I don't have time. No, that's true. What takes up your time during the week? Who knows? Where does it go? Don't you think Tilda Swinton's so good in it? Oh, man. I can't remember a lot from it. That might be a once in a lifetime
Starting point is 00:16:56 movie for me. Oh, boy. Might have to go twice. I haven't seen it at all. I know the poster. Remember the poster. But it has the beautiful Virginie Le Doyer. Oh, what's that? Is that a. She's a French lady.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And maybe want to never go traveling in Thailand. Is it Thailand? Yeah. Yeah. That beach is now like a dump. Oh, great. Like the tourists have. That's why we don't use our straws.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Yes, exactly. Tourists all brought straws there. Yeah, and they put them on the beach. And they. Oh, so people went to the beach from the beach and ruined the beach. Of course. Classic. Yeah, I
Starting point is 00:17:31 that's a once in a lifetime movie. I was thinking about that the other night like, because I watched Basic Instinct because we were talking about it a couple weeks ago and it was on this. Because you wanted to feel nostalgic and horny. Well, I had only seen pieces of it
Starting point is 00:17:49 and I was like, am I going to watch this whole movie? And I did. And I feel like it's weird that I've seen it twice now in my life. I feel like that's a one-time viewing. I don't think I've seen it from start to finish. I've never seen it. There you go. This could be another once-in-a-lifetime movie for you.
Starting point is 00:18:07 You want to watch it with me? Yeah, sure. There's three times in a lifetime. Yeah, watch it three times. I'm like the gateway to basic instinct for everybody. B.Y.O. Ice Pick. It's like a big thing, like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. When she pulls out the ice pick, everybody starts chipping.
Starting point is 00:18:23 That's the craziest thing in that movie is that everybody chips ice like nobody has an ice cube tray. Really? I know she does because that's like
Starting point is 00:18:35 the murder weapon but she's just like I also just you know it's the perfect way to get ice into my drink. That's how she planned it.
Starting point is 00:18:42 First she planned the murder weapon and then she planned the way she'd get ice for her whole life. Because it's like oh this guy was killed with an ice pick oh well then it could be anyone. We all have ice picks. That is what it's like in that movie.
Starting point is 00:18:55 There's this scene. She uses one. He uses one. And also I don't know where you just get a bag of chunk of ice. I don't know. Would you just like like, fill up a plastic bag with water and throw it in your fridge? Is it from, like, old-timey times when people had ice boxes that, like, someone would deliver a big cube?
Starting point is 00:19:13 Like a block of ice. Yeah. Yeah. But it's not set in those times. It's set in the 90s. The 90s San Franciscoers. It was whimsical for an earlier time. Yeah, it was like... Anyways, it's weird that I've seen that movie twice, possibly three times.
Starting point is 00:19:30 It would be weird if it was based on like an old timey novel that we just updated. So we took, you know, one of the biggest devices in this novel was that everyone had ice picks and no one wore underwear. was that everyone had ice picks. Yeah. And no one wore underwear. Yeah, it's like, I just feel weird that I've seen it and now I feel like I'm an expert on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And probably we'll see it again. Yeah, there you go. So what do you do? You have a day job? I do. I actually work with kids. Really? I do.
Starting point is 00:20:04 What do you do? I work with those sticky sunscreen kids. Oh, gross. What do you do? You have a day job? I do. I actually work with kids. Really? I do. What do you do? I work with those sticky sunscreen kids. Oh, gross. What do I do? I work in after school care. And then I also am a teacher slash tutor at an alternative school. Cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Nirvana. Teaching the youth of tomorrow. So like what makes it alternative? Oh, yeah, that's true. Because it's like pretty alt Like only like cool Indie kids get to come Flannel shirt
Starting point is 00:20:30 Oh cool A lot of flannel A lot of east fan shirts Yeah yeah yeah The hip No it's kids that Like the normal school system Isn't for them
Starting point is 00:20:43 So they're coming there For other reasons. My school had an alternative program. Did yours? No. You fell in line or you fell out of line. Ah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:51 And there was no reward. Like, hey, you don't fall into our system. We're going to send you to a cool alt school. So alt. And you're going to learn there. It was just like, you're just bad at school. And you should going to learn there. It was just like, you're just bad at school. And you should feel bad. Yeah, you're bad at school and you should feel bad about yourself.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And, you know, I think a lot of kids to this day, they all became failures. Yeah, that's a real problem. Yeah. For years, people. Did your school have an alternative program? I don't know. It was like really smart. So, just kidding. I mean, an alternative program? I don't know. It was, like, really smart. So, just kidding.
Starting point is 00:21:26 I mean, technically, it's not about smartness. It's about learning in a different way. I should have said that. I'm the teacher. Oh, God. Like, maybe? I don't know, actually. How old are these kids?
Starting point is 00:21:40 I work, the after-school kids are, like, elementary. So, like, five to 13. And then my other kids are like 10 to 15. Do you get along with kids? I guess you have to. They're great. I think kids are just the weirdest people. Is it true they're our future?
Starting point is 00:21:58 You know what? I don't know. I think they might be. That's true. I remember when Houston was kind of noncommittal. And what apps do they like? Oh, my God. What apps are they using?
Starting point is 00:22:12 Minecraft is dead. Don't even think about it. If you dab nowadays, you're done. Okay. Dabbing's out. I just taught my Minecraft character how to dab. Do they all do the flossing dance? Yeah, but it's also like as soon as you learn one meme,
Starting point is 00:22:27 like by the time I learn a meme, it's done. Like just don't even think about saying it because it's over. Learn a meme. Yes, I'm like, oh. My name's Allie Learn-a-Meme. Trying to learn all the memes. What is the hottest meme as of this day? Oh, God, what is the hottest meme right now?
Starting point is 00:22:44 I mean. That's a great question. There's like one that I like. I was like, this is a very lazy meme. Oh, God. What is the hottest meme right now? I mean, that's a great question. There's like one that I like. I was like, this is a very lazy meme. Yeah, what do you mean? With a,
Starting point is 00:22:50 it's a, like a, a guy with a butterfly in the air. Yeah, and his hands all over him. His hands like, he's holding out a hand.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like you, a thing, and another thing. Yeah. And I was like, well, that could be any picture. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:04 This is very lazy. Come on. So the guy checking out the other girl holding hands with one girl and checking out another girl, that's out? That must be out.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yeah, I think it's still, it'll stay in the rotation forever, just like the Minions with all of it. So maybe it's like a classic. I don't think so. I think people are just using it past its prime.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I can't figure it out, guys. And how do kids talk about memes? How do you? Well, it depends how old, if they're young, they're like so into them, but if they're a little bit older, they're like, yeah, whatever. Memes are lame. But they love them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have a strong nostalgia for
Starting point is 00:23:35 two years ago. For their memes of their youth. Yeah. Yeah. It's, yeah, it's... Wow. It's a real culture. Yeah. We're all falling behind. You. Wow. It's a real culture. Yeah. We're all falling behind. You're going to be our new youth correspondent.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Yeah. I'm like, I'm, I'm worried that people are falling so far behind. They don't know how far behind they are. Right. You know. I feel like I'm pretty far behind. Yeah. I bet.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I like, I saw a meme that was a meme that took, you had to know three or four different things just to get this one meme. Yeah. And I was like. Oh yeah, this is just scratching the surface. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It goes so much deeper than everything. I recently saw this Swedish movie about Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Is that popular with kids? The kids are eating that shit up. They will not stop talking about it. I can't believe. Charlie LeBeouf is in it. They like that? Yeah, they love LeBeouf. Yeah, okay, good.
Starting point is 00:24:24 He is still hot with the kids. I'm glad I'm plugged in. I can't believe that LeBuff is in it. They like that? I didn't even, yeah, they love LeBuff. Yeah, okay, good. He is still hot with the kids. I'm glad I'm plugged in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, I had to talk to one of my kids because he was trying to draw, he's younger and he's trying to draw like a Pepe the Frog thing, which as you may or may not know, was, you know, co-opted by the All Right. Oh, okay. Yeah, All Right.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Oh, yeah. So it's a bit of a no-no. Maybe it was my friends are All Right. Uh-oh. Yeah, I noticed your shirt. Oh, okay. Yeah, all right. So it's a bit of a no-no. Maybe with my friends are all right. Uh-oh. Yeah, I noticed your shirt. Richie Spencer. So I went, I didn't go to an alternative school. I went to an all right school.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Oh, no. Yeah, that was my thing. That's a bad one. So what did you tell this unfortunate kid? Well, I was like, you know, that's racist. So we can't use it anymore because it was stolen from us. And now it's racist. And he was like, okay, paper, they probably guess was stolen from us.
Starting point is 00:25:12 I didn't say that. But anyway, stolen from us. Well, I was my daughter drew a rainbow and I was like, well, actually, that's gay. Yeah, that was stolen from us. That's a gay thing now. Oh, my God. But yeah, I was explaining it to him. And then he was like, because I was like, well, you know, it's like, like, I know you don't believe in Donald Trump's politics.
Starting point is 00:25:34 And he's like, no. And I was like, okay, so you don't want to be doing these. And then he was like, well, what about this meme I saw with, it was Pepe the Frog wearing a Make America Pepe Again hat while he was spitting on a picture of Donald Trump. Oh. And I was like, I don't know what to tell you, buddy. No one knows. I can't.
Starting point is 00:25:55 The kid was like, well, actually, I hear there's bad on both sides. There's bad people on both sides of this argument. Like, oh, don't. I don't know. Where do we begin? Oh yeah yeah i uh did i tell you about the one the meme that i that i you haven't told me about a meme it's true that it was a picture of yoda dabbing nice and he has just just signed something into law because all these lawmakers are standing around applauding him. And the law is pee is stored in the balls.
Starting point is 00:26:32 And that was the meme. I was like, oh, boy, there's so much to unpack here. Who knows? So many questions. That's why they can be in space because they have more room. They don't have to pee. That's right. Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Right? This other meme, the other meme, this is coming out in a week and a half. This meme is so over. Oh. Yeah. Is the Laurel and Yanni. I know. Is there a linguistic explanation for this?
Starting point is 00:26:58 Yeah, that is like a linguistic thing. I haven't really looked into it yet. But I think it's, yeah, it is like a linguistic thing. I think it's because ya and la are both really like weird sounds in your mouth. Right. Yeah. They have similarities. Ya, la.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Yolo. Yolo. Look, I just invented something. But I heard, wait, what did I hear? I heard like Yanner or Larry. No, I heard Larry. You heard a third thing. I heard Larry.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Third thing. Yes. Oh boy. So I gave up right away. That is like, because seeing the dress that people saw as two different colors. Yeah. I get. But like, not be like when someone says they heard a different version than what you heard,
Starting point is 00:27:43 you feel like you're crazy or they're lying. I think that they're lying. Yeah. I feel like they're lying. You heard Larry. I heard Larry and I couldn't hear anything else. I heard Yanny. I heard Laurel.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Did you really? Yeah. Did you really? Yeah. Weird. And Abby showed it to me like sitting right next to me and she was like, it's Yanny. And like we said it at the same time, but opposite. Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Cause they, I watched one where they pitched it up and they pitched it down and it sounded like Yanny, no matter what they did. So I, yeah. Well, I saw one where they pitched it down and it was like,
Starting point is 00:28:18 Oh yeah. That's a good one. Pretty good. Dave, what's going on with you, man? Oh, boy. This summer's hitting us hard. Oh, boy. How are you dealing with it?
Starting point is 00:28:35 Is it killing you already? You're wearing denim. I'm wearing denim today because it was, I turned off all the heat in my place, and now my place is really cold. And so I was wearing pants, and then I was like, oh, time to go. I didn't have time. But I'm also going somewhere after this, and I didn't want to make it a night of shorts.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Yeah. I mean, but there are non-denim pants is my point. Oh, like a cotton, a breezy cotton. That's all. I've retired the denim for the year, except the shirt, obviously. Here's my problem with the convention, and maybe you'll be able to shed some light on this. The cotton pants, the pockets puke out at the side. That's because your pants don't fit. Yeah, but what do I have to wear a way bigger size? Tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Starting point is 00:29:19 I guess, I don't know if it's a bigger size, it's just a different cut. Different cut, maybe, yeah. I know they say pleats are back in, but I don't know if it's a bigger size. It's just a different cut. Different cut. Yeah. I don't know if that fit. Like, I know they say pleats are back in, but I don't believe it. I'm not going to be the guy to, like, make the argument. I think pleats are back in for, like, cool fashion guys. Yeah, you could wear a pleat. A pleat? Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I mean. I don't know. The rules are different for women. But you could wear A pleated pant I feel like And I would be like Check Check out that
Starting point is 00:29:49 Fashion Yeah check out that Bleak bleak gal What are the Fashion rules That you adhere to You know I try to only wear
Starting point is 00:29:58 Ed Hardy at the beach Excellent Do you wear white After Labor Day Yeah I wear white All the time I wear a nice Mink white coat in the winter.
Starting point is 00:30:10 No, I don't. Do you match your shoes to your belt? No, I've never done that. When I'm dressing up, I guess I would. Yeah. Like if I was wearing a suit. I guess all the rules really apply to wearing a suit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:24 My dad always wanted me to tuck in my shirt, regardless of the shirt. So that was his big rule. That's sweet. Like T-shirt or whatever shirt. Dads do do that. Yeah. My dad does that around the house. Like, I'll have a casual jean on and tuck just a casual tee into it.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah, yeah. That's my dad's perfect world. Yeah. It's a tucked in shirt into a jean. Perfect. It doesn't matter if it's a Dan Hardy shirt. If it's tucked in, it's fancy. Yeah. But I think there was an era change where everybody was tucked.
Starting point is 00:30:54 And then my generation came along and we were all untucked all the time. I mean, the same goes for circumcision. I think it's a generational thing. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Same. Same. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Same. Like, uh. Yeah, no, we're not. How are you coping with the summer? It's like we're getting ready to move in a few months. Mm-hmm. And so we're starting to throw things away and like make try to make sure the house is clean and now that everything is indoor outdoor like the kids play outside right we have a door a back door open all the time it's just a nightmare like the outside
Starting point is 00:31:39 is always getting brought back inside yeah yeah yeah i'm yeah, yeah. I'm not coping at all. I'm under a... You're under duress. Yeah, I'm stressed all the time. I'm never not cleaning my house. Yeah. Yeah. The, I guess I get that way in the fall because I feel like there's all, there's just stuff on the ground that just blows into your house, follows me into the house somehow.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Yeah. I don't know do you feel like that's a Vancouver thing or maybe like I've heard the who's the woman that's on Portlandia Carrie Brownstein yeah she said like when you live in the Pacific Northwest
Starting point is 00:32:18 that just stuff gets tracked into the house yeah and there's places like if you watch TV you're like why are these characters leaving their shoes on in the house they Yeah. And there's places like, if you watch TV, you're like, why are these characters leaving their shoes on in the house? They do that in America,
Starting point is 00:32:29 apparently. Well, they do. I think it's a climate thing. Allegedly. Like if it's, I don't think they would do it. Or like, I've heard that they do.
Starting point is 00:32:37 It might be a different thing of like, if you are living in a place like an apartment building, your shoes get cleaned by the time you get to your front door. Ah, that's true. With the carpet. Or if you are living in a place like an apartment building, your shoes get cleaned by the time you get to your front door. Ah, that's true. With the carpet. Or if you're living in somewhere that's dry,
Starting point is 00:32:51 like in the summer, I don't really take my shoes off inside. Hmm. Do you use shoes on, shoes off? I usually wear those dainty little socks underneath. So that's why I refuse to take off my shoes because it looks like I'm wearing a ballet flat. Yeah, I was, I feel like also because I grew up in Calgary and there was always like, there
Starting point is 00:33:15 was snow for a big chunk of the year. Then there was slush. Then there was like mud. Yeah. Then there was like salt and gravel that had been left behind. Snakes, summer snakes. Beach snakes. The snakes of summer.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Yeah, so I just felt like we were forbidden from wearing shoes in the house. It was like you even had a mud like area. Yeah, a mud room. Mud room. Yeah. You have mud rooms in Kelowna? I don't know. I don't know if we had a mud room.. Yeah. A mud room. Mud room. Mud room. Yeah. Yes. You have mud rooms in Kelowna? I don't know. I don't know if it's a lot of mud room.
Starting point is 00:33:48 We had an entrance way. I think that's what we called it. But yeah, it's like, I feel like Kelowna weather is actually kind of similar to Calgary in some ways. It's not. I don't know why I said that. It doesn't, well, it does snow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:59 It doesn't, it snows in the winter. It's very dry in the summer, but. Santa. He's coming No she isn't Let's go back to the snake at the beach What if it became a common thing I know It's horrifying
Starting point is 00:34:16 Would snakes run into each other Sure Would there be snake fights Probably They would get Twisted together Like you know When you put a bunch of cables
Starting point is 00:34:24 In a box together Your buds Trying to get put a bunch of cables in a box together earbuds trying to get your snake out of the wow just at the snake park instead of the dog park yeah
Starting point is 00:34:30 oh I just pictured it in my mind people all standing around a fence watching their snakes twist together watching their snakes poop
Starting point is 00:34:40 oh boy mine just ate a half pig this morning Half a pig? Oh I don't think Where's the other half? Big anaconda, you know You bring your anaconda to the park?
Starting point is 00:34:56 Sure Oh boy Eat all the other snakes He's tired of being in my bachelor apartment Oh no Oh boy Oh yikes Oh, no. Oh, boy. Oh, yikes. Oh, someone's drunk with my snake.
Starting point is 00:35:07 He won't rehinge his unhinged jaw. Maybe he's just, his mouth is agape because he's looking at a hot lady snake. Oh, boy. Oh, yeah, that's for me. I'm fighting the sun. I'm mad at the sun. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:23 But you like the sun. I like the sun. I'm mad at the sun. Yeah. Yeah. But you like the sun. I like the sun. I do find it like, I think like in Vancouver, because I bus mostly, I do see the inconveniences of summer more, like sweating. Sweating, yeah. It's very hot when you're walking everywhere and taking the bus everywhere. Yeah. And do you find, because here's something that I've noticed in the past, in the hot days, and I don't know if it has any correlation to the heat, more
Starting point is 00:35:47 older men spitting. Which I don't see when it's raining. I don't see a lot of people spitting. They got a drier mouth, they got to spit out their spit? I don't know. I don't know. Wouldn't you be like conserving? Yeah. Yeah, rehydrate. Yeah, your
Starting point is 00:36:03 human fluid. If you're spitting on the street, you probably need to get yourself a water bottle. And just like. Spit into your water bottle? No, just like, I don't know, like hydrate yourself so your spit's less like. Like, why are you spitting on the street? Why are you ever spitting? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Well, I chew tobacco. Okay, I mean, that makes sense. I got a little bit packed in here. You got spit, he's out. But you do I got a little bit packed in here. You got spitsies out. But you do it and it hits the spittoon. Well, and I carry an empty can of... I still see that. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:36:35 I was just thinking because, you know, there's so many people that collect cans. I'm not like to have a collection. No. Classic. I had a weird interaction with a can collector. The predominant demographic of the can collectors in my neighborhood are old Asian ladies. Okay. Not, you know, homeless people.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Right. But like people who, this seems to be their. This is their gig. Yeah. This is their, they have a route they do. They know when every neighborhood, maybe it's just my neighborhood, but maybe they go through when every neighborhood has their garbage night. Yeah. And they pick through everyone's recycling.
Starting point is 00:37:19 And I had two boxes of recycling to take out and it was the weirdest thing of like, I'm going to go back and get my second box of recycling. It's probably got 15 cents worth of cans in it. Yeah, yeah. And are you, do you want that? Like, should I tell you to wait here? Or is it like the fact that I'm making you wait, you know, two minutes for 15 cents, is that like dehumanizing or do you like it? Yeah. Yeah, it's because the predominant demographic in my neighborhood is a man with shopping cart with the giant apparatus overflowing with bottles and cans.
Starting point is 00:38:04 And so you can kind of hear him rattling along. Yeah. Kind of apparatus. Overflowing. Overflowing with bottles and cans. And so you can kind of hear him. Rattling along. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh. And so I, if I hear him, then I'm like, oh, dude, what do I got? What do I got? Do I got something in the house? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:19 It's like trick or treating. What do you got in your neighborhood? I think it's mostly older men men but with less, like less, like not a very big cart. Okay. Or maybe bags. So maybe I'm close to a recycling.
Starting point is 00:38:30 The women in my neighborhood have what seems to be like a broomstick. Yes. And on either side is one of those like, I don't know what the, it's kind of like
Starting point is 00:38:41 those Ikea bags. Yeah, yeah. That kind of material but they're the plaid ones. Oh. Yeah red white and blue plaid yeah i know exactly the one some kind of you know not plastic bag i guess no but it's like a woven plastic yeah yeah yeah it's uh it's weird because also in the summer there there will be bottle collector folk on the bus. You want to talk about your wide world of smells. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Yeah. Yeah, rinse out your cans before you put them out. Yes. Gotta rinse it all out. Do you, for recycling, you rinse them all out? You're supposed to. I have just read a thing about how, how like if you don't rinse your jars out like they can't use them at all
Starting point is 00:39:26 and it costs the city like millions of dollars. And it costs me nothing. And yet Yeah. And yet I don't see it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Yeah. Yeah. We rinse everything because we're a big yogurt consuming family. They're going to girt. Yeah. We're girt crew.
Starting point is 00:39:42 We're a big girt crew. Girt crew. Yeah. Gert gang Yeah I always thought of you guys As kind of a gert gang Yeah we like our gert on the go
Starting point is 00:39:50 Or Nice On the go I don't know if there's another way To put that but Yeah what would you call that You're a linguist What would you call that
Starting point is 00:39:57 I wish there was a perfect name for it Yeah I did I did Thank you for Travel yoga Wait gertigo Gertigo Oh there we go
Starting point is 00:40:03 Yeah What's up with you, Graham? I... Tell me all about it. I went and did comedy in Prince George. Ooh. The little boy who's the heir to the... They shrunk me down to, you know, what a fantastic voyage size.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Uh-huh. They put me through his nose. Oh, cool. And, you know, I like a little bit of the nose candy. The booger sugar. What was that second accent? I think it went Swedish. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:33 The booger. So I went to Prince George to do a stand-up comedy. Prince George is a town in British Columbia. A very, like, not famous, but i guess like their thing is bears like everywhere you go it's like there's a statues of bears and the last they're not too long ago yeah i was there last year and after a show uh a woman that had been watching the show said like how far are you from your hotel i was like it's actually quite a walk and she's like i'll give you a ride and i was like i'm fine i i walked through your bad neighborhood it's fine
Starting point is 00:41:09 and she was like no i'm literally afraid you're gonna get attacked by a bear wow yeah so there's it's like the bears like the whole bears like if you wander too far in one direction, you'd just be in the forest. Yeah. Yeah. Like, why would you do that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:30 But I just mean like, that's, that's, it's like the town. It's like they shaved out enough woods to make a town. Yeah. And they didn't like put a road or a barrier to be like, you guys stay out.
Starting point is 00:41:43 So bears come into the town. Lots of bears. And on the way, on the way in, the guy who runs the show was like, hey, I got you, I got you quite an opener for this evening. He said,
Starting point is 00:42:03 she's the oldest standup comedian in in the country and i was like oh this is gonna be somebody doing a character oh i'm the oldest comedian in the country and boy was i wrong because i showed up at the show and there was a woman who goes by Lady Laughs A Lot, who is 85 years old. Lady Laughs A Lot. Yeah. That's great. Yeah, 85 years old. Tell me all about it.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Is she from Prince George? She's from out east, Toronto originally, and then moved to Prince. She became a nurse at 50. Wow. Worked until she was early 70s, retired, took up stand-up comedy, did it on cruise ships. What? And she does all street jokes.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Okay. And she was wearing a red leather jacket and a pair of devil horns. Oh, McFisto. For people who don't know street jokes People not familiar with comedy These are jokes that she didn't write That's right The jokes that everyone can tell Yeah
Starting point is 00:43:12 And the thing that was amazing Because I have no recall for street jokes at all I can't remember As soon as I hear one I laugh I can tell you a few There's a few good ones I know They're mostly about Well there was this I mean, I can tell you a few. There's a few good ones I know. Yeah. They're mostly about, well, there was this boat and it was full of men and they were so horny. And then one day they saw this dog just going at it with a big hole in the boat.
Starting point is 00:43:38 And they were like, uh-oh. And so they all started taking turns on this. Oh, you know what? I interrupted you. They were like, uh-oh. And so they all started taking turns on this. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh, you know what? I interrupted you. No, I want to hear all this joke ends. Well, eventually all these guys go at it with Toll and the boat.
Starting point is 00:43:57 So the boat starts getting too heavy. Oh, boy. How many different jokes are you complaining here? And then complaining so they're like what do we do with all the stuff we got in the bottom of the boat now and they're like let's make it into candles so they make all they make a bunch of candles out of all their stuff in the boat and at the next port they sell the candles to a bunch, to a covenant of nuns. A covenant? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:28 A nunnery? And so the nuns, you know, they start burning these candles. And some of the nuns are like, oh, look at the shape of these candles. Anyway, long story short, a bunch of nuns get pregnant. Because of what they did with the candles. I see. And they have to decide, like, okay, we can't have all these pregnant nuns and a bunch of babies running around. So if a nun has a baby boy, she can't stay in the nunnery.
Starting point is 00:45:03 If she has a girl, they can raise her as a nun as well. So, and then one day, this joke has more to it. Yeah, this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're coming around in the bed. So, ultimately,
Starting point is 00:45:19 there's this nun, and she hears another nun crying. Yeah. And she's like, oh no, you know, what's wrong? And the nun says, I'm just so sad I have to leave because I'm having a son. And the other nun says, well, I mean, consider yourself lucky. I just had puppies. I knew the dog would somehow figure in the fun Yeah well you know what
Starting point is 00:45:48 The key to a great mystery Is you start with the N and you work backwards Well there you go So you're in Prince George Telling that joke Yeah so she I mean she did all the She did all those jokes She did all the, those jokes.
Starting point is 00:46:05 She did every variation on that. Were they that good? I mean, that's a really good one. I know another good one. No, go ahead. But yeah, she, you know, she killed because she's an 85 year old little telling joke. What was her big closer? Eat shoots and leaves?
Starting point is 00:46:27 No, she did a very old-timey thing that comics don't do anymore, but maybe Don Rickles would in his last, where they become very sincere at the end. They're like, you know, there's a lot of problems out there in the world, but as long as we can all get together
Starting point is 00:46:44 and laugh, then maybe the world's got a chance. Or something like that. So she had like this nice message. But when, so usually when your name's announced, you want to be right near the stage. Just especially if, say, you're 85 and your mobility is not what it once was. And the stage is difficult to get up on. And you know that because you were there last week and you had remarked on it. So they brought in a stool for you so that you could get on the stage.
Starting point is 00:47:13 She was sitting talking to me while she was being announced. I was like, oh, boy. So the lag time, like the clapping for like solid two minutes before she was on stage. It was pretty great. So yeah, I finally got to work with Lady Laughs a lot. Have you ever had, as a promoter, ever been like, I got you a great opener and it's a bottle opener? I usually spring a bear on them.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard I've got a great opener for you. And I should have known that when they were saying that, that they were playing some sort of game. Yeah. That is, but like, that's great. It was great. It was legitimately great. I'd love to go to a show with the, I mean, I don't think I'd like to go to a show at all. But I'd love to go to one with an 85-year-old lady.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Oh, man. It was great, and she was very sweet, and everybody wanted their picture with her after the show. And so it was the whole night. Did anyone want their picture with you? Yeah, was that hard for you? No, no, no. I said, let me borrow your jacket so that people can...
Starting point is 00:48:21 Can I have the devil horns, please? Yeah. Just for a second. I didn't know that we were supposed to wear some sort of costume. I want to feel the heat. Yeah, so if you're ever in Prince George and you're going to a show ask, call ahead
Starting point is 00:48:36 and see if they got Lady Laughs-a-lot on the bill. And if you're ever in a nunnery just burn the candles okay ladies? That's it. Oh boy, do we want to move on to overheard yes sir

Starting point is 00:50:34 and there was we were like we kind of were at the corner we were going to turn go across the street and then suddenly there was a rollerblader in front of us yeah basically we're like whoa but she was rollerblading and she had her like earphones in so she was on the phone at the same time as she was rolling and she like comes up right up to our faces because she's like we're like in her way and she's like but i am trying like on the phone on her rollerblades
Starting point is 00:51:03 and i was like do you think it was a rollerblade coach i don't know but i was like i guess it's harder to be a rollerblader than i thought yeah you know it is i mean it's societally it's harder than ever oh man although not in this city i think this city really just lets rollerbladers be rollerbladers. Yeah. But this was in Toronto. That was in Toronto. Yeah. I've been saying rollybladers. Yeah. It's a regional dialect.
Starting point is 00:51:31 You would know about that. I do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now, you said you had a couple? Yeah. Well, what was the other one?
Starting point is 00:51:37 Oh, yeah. I heard. I was on the bus and I heard a guy. It was like kind of a guy that, I don't know. He was kind of like not very fashionable. I feel like he was maybe in fashion for like the early 2000s, you know, kind of a baggier jean, baggier t-shirt. Maybe some like a leather wristband. Yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:52:04 And he was talking to his friend like in a way that like, like he was talking about like these hot girls he'd seen. Nice. But it was like in such a way that I like couldn't believe it was real. Right. It's just like, oh yeah, I saw this like real curvy redhead yesterday.

I also, if I was a kid, and I had a, like, if I was a kid, my friend was like, there's a movie where they stitch people's faces to other people's butts and be like, we're having a sleepover at Cody's house because Cody's parents are never home. And we are watching Human Centipede. Wow.
Starting point is 01:03:07 And that's the great thing about being a kid is I could sit there and eat like a bowl of ravioli and watch that movie and not be disgusted. That's true. Being a kid's all about. Yeah. My last overheard here. Oh, no. My daughter is in junior high school, and this is her story about a fight at recess today. I don't know what was going on. There were two girls on the ground in a mass of hair pulling, scratching, and hitting.
Starting point is 01:03:42 They were yelling stuff, too, but the only thing I understood was, Oh, so we're kicking now? Rules are rules. Oh, I see. Oh, I see. I thought it was no kicking. Oh, Marcus of Queensbury, I assume. I see we've updated terms and conditions.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Are we muyi hai? No, we're just hair pulling Have you ever been in a physical fight?

Starting point is 01:04:22 And I was like, meet you outside, 3 p.m., sharp. And we met in the cloakroom of our grade three classroom and just started pulling each other's hair out. Wow. Yeah. Awesome. The teacher pulls apart. Who would you say won, even though it was her?
Starting point is 01:04:40 Oh, God. Who had more hair in their clutches. She was, like, was much taller. I was very short growing up, so I feel like she probably won. Yeah. I'll give it to me, though. Yeah, give it to me. No one else is here.

Starting point is 01:05:12 I mean, if you had a little bit of scurvy, though, it would come out a lot easier. Oh, yeah, that's true. Same with your teeth. You laugh and you just hear this rattling. An ounce of scurvy is worth of pound of fight strategy. In addition to overheards that are written in, we also accept your phone calls. You want to call us? Do it.

Yeah, I mean, prom's a, there's no right or wrong way to go to prom. I mean, fedora's probably the wrong way.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Yep. But, like, if there's an occasion to wear a fedora, I think. Gotta be prom. I mean, like, it beats, you know, wearing one to Subway. I mean, it shows the other kids that you're not one of those normal kids. You're one of those, you're kind of like got a little edge yeah but like it oh fedora works with a suit better than with cargo shorts oh man oh but and yet i see the i see the fedora cargo short look fedora cargo fedora i'm just thinking of foodora uh, the great food delivery. Foodora. What, can you name, name five internet food delivery services?
Starting point is 01:06:50 Skip the dishes. Skip the dishes, lazy meal. Foodora. Foodora. Uber Eats. Oh. Yeah,

Starting point is 01:07:40 Great travel food. Anything that's good leftovers, I think, is good delivery. I had a burrito. I don't know. I don't know about the burrito. I don't think the burrito was... I think burrito is on-site eating. I think so, too, because I think there's cold ingredients mixed with warm ingredients.
Starting point is 01:07:55 And by the time it got to me, it was all lukewarm ingredients. But I think they should... Burritos, they could deliver by pneumatic tube. Or just out of a t-shirt cannon. Yeah, I don't think we need to put it on the back of a sweaty cyclist. Next phone call. Hi there, Dave Graham and delightful guests. Windy day.
