Hi, Graham.

loves movies, Mr. Dave Shumka. Hi, Graham. Actually, I keep forgetting to mention, I think we've forgotten to mention for two months that you've guested on a few other podcasts. Oh, yeah, yeah. You were on Brent Butt's Butt Pod. Butt Pod. You were on Landlord and Tenant Podcast with James Hartnett and Mike Bilotto. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it was a lot of fun. They've really stuck to their format. And I think by the time this is out, I might have already been on that as well. Oh, are you going to do it? Yeah. Nice. Oh, cool. So look for us on all these podcasts.

Oh, fun. As well as this. And our guest today on this podcast, he is a member of the Sunday Service. If you're in Vancouver, you can see them every Sunday at the Fox Cabaret. He's one of the founding members of Blind Tiger Improv School? Comedy.

Comedy School. Sure. It's Taz Van Rassel. Yep, that's me. Hi. Hello. Hi, Taz. Hi, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Glad to be back. And Graham's going to be teaching a podcasting class in the school starting this summer. Oh, perfect. Tech or?

No, comedy. No, no, just comedy theory. Yeah, comedy theory. Podcasting theory. How to talk funny? Yeah, how to like, if something, if someone says a word wrong, then like that becomes a thing. Yeah. Like, oh, what if that was real?

And then how to respond to podcasts when they get something wrong. Oh, that's podcast listening class. It's all part of the theory. Should we get to Noah's? Yeah. Get to Noah's. Taz. Yes.

You've got a lot of business going on right now. I guess. No, I just mean like in front of me. Oh, I see. Yeah. You're drinking. Now no one has ever brought, like we've had guests bring their own beer before. Yeah.

We're, Graham and I are drinking iced coffee. You're drinking a tea. Earl Grey. Okay. Yeah. You've also brought a can of Molson Excel, uh, non-alcoholic beer. Yeah. What is it youson Excel non-alcoholic beer. What is it you like about non-alcoholic beer? It's not got alcohol in it.

I like that part. And I thought this was a drinking pot. I haven't been on for a while. And usually we're drinking craft beer. In the past, it has been a lot of drinking beers. So I thought I'd bring my own but that doesn't feel weird okay now but now you feel weird yeah because it is a little weird to just when no one else is drinking anything just be like i you know what i want i'm in the mood for

the flavor of beer and none of them yeah i drink these at home do Do you? Yeah. And does it, I don't know that I've ever had a non-alcoholic beer. Does it taste exactly the same? Ish. Ish? Okay. You want to try a sip? Maybe at the break. All right.

Yeah. Okay. I guess my, like, I don't know if I ever, I don't know if I like the taste of beer enough to have it without the cool, crisp alcohol. Yeah, I mean, I guess I would if i was at like a barbecue i feel like yeah i mean i i got them mostly for like on stage right to to fill that weird void whereas like oh usually i would have a beer but okay i'll just have this yeah that sort of worked um wait and you can also i can just have soda. Yeah. That sort of worked. Wait, and you can buy those. Also, I can just have soda water.

I realized also it doesn't matter. When did it, how long did it take you to realize? I think I like the taste, guys. Yeah. Because I could have not got them. It's weird though because there's like, I don't know what the variance is. Do you get that in a grocery store?

Yeah, this is the cheapest one, but it's the one I like the most. Most in Excel, there's like uh budweiser has prohibition oh is that what budweiser prohibition yeah and there's a couple other ones that are yeah old duels old duels is what beer drinkers drink when they're not drinking beer they only make non-alcoholic yeah oh right okay yeah this one tastes the closest to like coors light or Molson Canadian. Just a real shitty, out-of-the-counter beer. I'm into an IPA. Yeah.

Something hoppy. I would like none of the breweries or whatever that you would go to. They don't have an option. I'd be into that. Yeah. It feels like, well, why wouldn't you? Then I could go and not order a soda. Yeah.

Do they have soda? I don't know. We have soda water. Yeah. I think there's some grenadine in the back. I mean, I like that. Yeah, do I like the taste of beer? Hmm.

Because, I mean, I've always drank it in conjunction with being around people who are drinking beer. And also. You've never drank a beer alone? Not really. Like, I would never. I never buy it and bring it home. Like, I'll drink it at a party or at a bar. But I never, like, have a beer at home.

Huh. Yeah. It never occurs to me when I'm at home to drink. I don't know. It's not it's never occurs to me when i'm at home to drink i don't know it's not by any design you don't spend a lot of time at home though yeah i'm always out as soon as i get up in the morning i roll out of bed find the first place i can that has beer which i guess would be the legion near my house at the nine in the morning or whatever yeah they're like they're open pretty early like they serve that early i think they're i think they're allowed to serve at 11 yeah and there's i've been past there at 11 and it's not not busy right so yeah you know so there's a tip

to all you youngsters out there you think that you have to go to a bar to get drunk you don't or europeans who are passing through and want to have a morning beer. Yeah. Yeah. Is that a European thing? Yeah, I remember being in Germany. It's like, you go in like the hostel,

everyone's like having a beer with their meats and bread. I mean. Pouring it on their Rice Krispies. Yeah. I mean, it's not,

if you're just going to eat, if you're basically eating picnic food. Do you know what Snap, Crackle, and Pop are in German? No. No?

Snap, crackle, and klaus. Is that true? No. Because I know in French they're crick, crack, and crock. Yeah. But that's all I know about French. Taz, what's been going on in your life since you last were on the podcast? I don't know.

You said it was two years ago? You think so? Yeah. I don't know. I went to Europe. Didn't go to Germany. That reference is very old. Where in Europe did you go?

I don't know. Paris, London, Amsterdam. I don't know. I walked around. How long ago was this? Last summer Okay Was it fun? Yeah it was nice

A lot of walking I doubled my steps Oh Are you a counter? Yeah I average about 10,000 steps a day That's pretty good It was about 20,000 I remember when we did the catacombs

In Paris? Yeah Where are your What do you count with? and earlier when we did the catacombs. Oh, in Paris? Yeah. Where are your, what do you count with? Just my phone and app. Oh, okay. It's called Hedometer. Yeah.

Which could be read as pedometer, which doesn't look great on a phone. Mine's going off. Yeah. Now, was Europe like, were there things that you wanted to see over there was this the uh your partner's idea i was piggybacking she was out there uh she's an academic and she was doing a conference okay in uh some small town outside of amsterdam and then i was like i'm gonna go too and then And then we made a plan out of it. And then we just wandered around.

Not a lot of pre-plan. We did go to Euro Disney. And that's amazing. Was that in France? Yes. What are the big differences? People smoke in Euro Disney. Cool.

Like in the lineup, people were smoking. Dads were smoking and pushing babies around. Goofy smokes. Yeah. Ariel smokes. Thatofy smokes. Yeah. Ariel smokes. That doesn't even make sense. She goes underwater. One of the biggest smoking cartoons.

I mean, Bugs Bunny would always like a cigar with a carrot. Albert Fudd, did he have a cigar? Or does Yosemite Sam? He'd smoke out of his ears when he's mad. He seems like somebody who would smoke. Popeye, did he have a pipe? Yeah, Popeye. He killed him with spinach. ears. He's mad. He seems like somebody who would smoke. Popeye? Did he have a pipe? Yeah, Popeye. But he mostly sucked spinach through it.

Yeah, I guess maybe at one point all of the cartoons smoked and they phased that out. I feel like Heckle and Jekyll smoked. What are they? They're like a couple of... One of them was chomping on a cigar. Yeah, they were like pranking crows. Oh. They were like a couple of... One of them was chomping on a cigar. Yeah, they were like pranking crows. Oh. They were like a couple of crows or ravens that would prank each other.

Yeah, blackbirds. Yeah. I feel like they probably... They smoked. But maybe I'm wrong. Fritz the cat. He smoked. He was a deviant.

Yeah. He smoked drugs. Yeah. What was... Deviant. Have you been to the other Disney lands? Not since I was a little kid, so I had no real base. I was like four when I went to Disneyland in California.

What's it like going in as an adult? It's fun. We never have to do it again. We do it once, and it's like this is a spectacle and it's tiring and we did it. How many did you get? Even more steps that day? Yeah, there's a lot of steps. Euro Disney Day, for sure.

How many rides do you get on in a day? Well, we went single. What is it called? There's like a line if you want to sit together or another line if you go single passenger. It's much faster. And we did a lot of those. We got on quite a few, but we'd always just wave at each other. See you.

I'm sitting with a family. Yeah, I wonder. Is that something? I guess there's no romance. Oh, maybe though. Yeah. You can clutch each other. We didn't go to ride together.

Why not? I don't need to sit beside someone in a movie theater either. Oh, really? Talk about it after. I mean, I do because that's an easier thing to do. We have a line for singles for the movie?

And you get in, it's the movie singles. Oh, man. That could use a reboot. Yeah. Why not? What city would it be in? What was it, Seattle?

It was Seattle. It was very grungy. There were many grunge people in it. You know, maybe... What's hot now what's the cool city in austin maybe austin uh-huh yeah i don't know where where did single it was seattle it was seattle and reality bites was houston oh it'd Bites was Houston? It would probably be Portland. Huh? It would probably be Portland now.

Portland, sure. Yeah, but what's the romantic movie of a generation that's out now? Do-a-da-do-do. Is anybody here? No? I Love Simon. What's that one that just came out? I Love Simon.

Is that what it's called? Yeah, it's called I Love Simon. It's got Bridget Fonda and Campbell Scott and Eddie Vedder. I Love Trouble. You mean nothing but trouble? No, I think I Love Trouble is a movie too.

Yeah. Probably. I Love Simon sounds like a movie. Sounds like an indie. Yeah, it's about a gay kid in high school. Oh! It's something Simon. It's not I Love Simon. It might just be Love Simon.

Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah. But you know what? I think in the room, between the three of us, we're about 120 years old. And so why would we know? I remember when I was, uh, it's, it's called love Simon.

Uh, when I was a, uh, when I was growing up, there was a, like a line of three hockey players who are in their early thirties, early to mid thirties. And there were the hundred year old line.

And it was like a big deal. And it's like not meant as an insult, but it doesn't sound like a compliment deal. And it's like, not meant as an insult, but it doesn't sound like a compliment. No, it's sort of meant as a, like a, whoa, check out this circus side show.

Three hockey players in there. That's what I tell kids when they, at school shows, when they ask how old we are. I say, collectively,

over 70. And there's two of us. What, um, uh, is it, when you do So you go around To elementary schools

High schools Elementary Middle school Which is usually Outside of Vancouver Yeah And Or junior high

To our American listeners And Regular high school Which is the Which is the scariest I don't know The kids are all the same And you go do improv for them

Yeah We go do improv High them. Yeah, we go do improv. High school, you got to adjust differently. But they're basically elementary, middle school, high school. They're all the same because they all have the internet now. So it's not like any town is like, okay, we got to do Cranbrook material. It's all the same. It's all Fortnite and flossing. Yeah.

And they're all very sad about XXXTentacion Yeah, I haven't done one since That happened And the smaller towns are still dabbing Okay What are you doing? There's a little bit of a disconnect You're dabbing still?

I thought that flossing was already over Is that still in high school? In high school, one person flosses And they all stand up and they're like And they can't not do it Oh man, there was nothing Or the Fortnite dance Which is basically the Arrested Development chicken

Yeah, yeah, yeah Fortnite is a video game? Yeah I had to learn it It's the biggest video game. Yeah, what is it? Kids are obsessed with it. It's like Battle Royale.

Yeah, you just go kill, everyone kills each other for a few minutes. Get dropped into an island or 50 people. Yeah, something like that. And it's all real people, real gamers. You gotta wear a headset. Yeah, you don't have to. I never wore a headset when I played it. Oh, you played it?

Yeah. Tell us everything. Well, you get dropped in and you kind of look around and you're like, oh, I have a pickaxe. I can, oh, I can hit a tree. I played it. Oh, you played it? Yeah. Tell us everything. Well, you get dropped in and you kind of look around and you're like, oh, I have a pickaxe. I can, oh, I can hit a tree. I'm dead. Fuck.

Because someone shot me. Yeah. And then you can watch the person that killed you run around. So you... Until they get killed and then you watch that person.

Oh, I see you... Very spectator. Do you have a gun when you start or you... I think you got to find it. Oh, okay. But they're around. But you had to find... Yeah. And if you try to hide,

the grid gets smaller. Kind of like Hunger Games. Oh, I see. It gets smaller and if you're in the fog, then you start to lose energy or whatever. And that's all kids do. They watch YouTube videos about it.

I feel like you've explained it to us like a kid would, too. Yeah. And then you're in the fog, and you don't want to be in the fog, because then you get energy, you lose energy. And there's elements of Minecraft. You can also build your own fort if you get wood from a tree. So, like, people, you just watch other people, and it's like. This is, like, one of the games that they play in the stadiums, this Fortnite.

Maybe. Because I feel like uh what are the there's like final fantasy was like one of them one of the originals starcraft starcraft is one of them yeah and like these big state like they're super mario brothers 2 in the whiz yeah wizard sorry the 7-11 or 7-up spot game i think it was one. You probably watched that. A lot of people watching you play that. But most of this game is that if you die, you end up just watching other people play the game. Yeah, so it's very spectator.

And kids watch YouTube videos of other people playing. And in that way, it's like Minecraft because kids watch videos of Minecraft. Yeah, kids love it. It's like their private time. I'm watching Minecraft. But Minecraft looks like a crappy, looks like if I made a video game.

Like it looks crappy. But does Fortnite look crappy? It doesn't look great. Modern-ish. Have you played it? No, but I've seen it. Like a lot of professional athletes play it. So I know it because it's a thing that they talk about.

Huh. Like at press conferences? No, no, but they're all on social media too. Oh, I see. You know, so-and-so said this about you on Fortnite. So Fortnite is

a medium for... No, no, so-and-so said something about your ability to play Fortnite. So they diss each other's Fortnite ability. So athletes are children. Well, they are. Yeah. I mean, technically a lot of them are.

The fact that it was remarkable that there were three hockey players in their 30s. Yeah, that's true. I was watching a video about an, like an MMA fighter and like how they were like, we don't know at this late stage of his career and he's 26. Yeah, good. Like the late stage of his career. But he's a billionaire. No, this was like a guy who was getting into it late and they were like, I don't know. So he's 100,000.

So he's getting in at a late stage of his career. What's an early stage of his career? I think you have to be like 15. Yeah. Probably like a team. Getting scouted early and junior. Like, yeah,

yeah. You're right though. They are all their kids. I guess I don't think of athletes as kids because they're all so rich. All the Vancouver Canadians are kids. Oh, they're like 18. The minor league baseball team, yeah.

Single A. Yeah, they probably have a lot of Fortnite talk on their bus. Probably. But it's weird. And they live like the fringe circuit, like the fringe festival. They stay in people's homes. They're billets. Yeah, they're billets. Are they? Some of them. That's amazing.

I mean, Ryan Vielle can speak to this better than I can. Whenever I go to a game with him, he tells me all the stories. And he points out all the players that are sitting. That one's staying at my house. I told him he should billet one. Yeah, it seems like a perfect fit. It's like rescuing a cat. Billeting a single-way baseball player.

Now, do you play video games uh yeah i like to play the ones where i don't have to interact with anyone right so it's me versus the the computer right yeah but that's like that feels like that's almost going to another time now yeah like everything is i don't want to campaign and, like, figure out a time to meet with my guild. Do that. You're a one-man guild. You're a solo guild. Exactly.

What game do you play? What am I playing? I just finished Wolfenstein, where you kill all the Nazis. Yeah. Colossus. That took you... It took you as long?

25 years. Yeah. It took a while. What do you that long? It took you 25 years? Yeah. It took a while. What do you play with? No, it's new. The Wolfenstein. I know. But what?

Hey. Playing Duke Nukem. What console? I play with, well, getting back to Ryan Beal, whatever console Ryan Beal is not using at the time. So I was using his PlayStation 4, but then a new baseball game came out and he wanted that back.

He gave me his Xbox. He's got both. Yeah, he's got both. He also has a Switch. He's a game boy. He is a game boy and he also does live and in-person Dungeons & Dragons. Do you do that?

No. No, I refuse. You've been invited to? That's interactive. Yeah, no. Okay. I have been invited, and I don't want to do it. Yeah, I don't understand.

I'd rather have my shame alone. Where it's like I sat and played a game for four hours, but no one else knows. Yeah. Do you feel that's... Except for everyone who's listening. Yeah, that's a shameful thing four hours, but no one else knows. Yeah. Do you feel that... Except for everyone who's listening. Yeah. That's a shameful thing? Yeah, a little bit.

What would you do in that four hours otherwise? Nothing. Watch TV. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I could have been watching TV. There's nothing on. I mean, you know, except World of Dance. Mm-hmm.

That's woed, as we call it. I got cable now, and there's a lot of movie channels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's great. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of movie channels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's great. Yeah. Yeah, Graham got a bunch of movie channels. Yeah, there's like 15 movie channels. Yeah, and that's all I watch now.

Yeah, me too. Yeah, I don't watch TV. And sometimes the old-timey, the old music video station. Much music? No, it's called something else. I forget what it's called, but it's great. Oh. They have like just playing 80s videos.

Oh, cool. They clearly couldn't get like, they can't afford the really popular ones. So it's just like, oh, Oingo Boingo. Okay, cool. Just weird. That is weird. Obscure stuff. Because like they would like when, you know, music videos were a thing that were on TV,

like contemporary TV, it was would like i feel like they wouldn't have to get the rights to things like everyone just play our video please it's an ad for our album yeah i don't know if they're paying for it i don't i don't actually know but also it's a 24-hour streaming channel so maybe there's just but still like a 24-hour like any like xm station that plays 80s yeah uh music plays the same 150 songs over and over. Yeah, it's true. They're very obscure on this one. Vinyl, it's called, or something?

There's one that I've watched where it's only new this year. Where do you get that? I don't know. 500 and something? Okay. I have to search YouTube all the time for all the new videos. Yeah, but it's like all, it's 100% musicians you've never heard of before. Like it was, the one that was Johnny Orlando and McKenzie was the one I watched this morning.

That's like a fake one that like a third tier TV show would come up with. We got tickets to the Johnny Orlando and McKenzie show. Are they the hosts? No, they were, that was the music video that I like saw this morning. They're the musicians. Johnny Orlando and Mackenzie show. Are they the hosts? No, they were, that was the music video that I like saw this morning. They're the musicians. Johnny Orlando and Mackenzie. And,

I was about to go like, I know a lot of musicians Graham would know. They looked about 12. Okay. And they kind of had a 12, 12 year olds kind of singing voice. Oh yeah.

And on like, on Saturday and Sunday morning, sometimes they'll be showing, like sometimes I would wake up before the news was on, and I would be switching through the channels, and they would have music videos that are just like artists for 12-year-olds, like just Disney Channel artists, that kind of thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the same as sports they're all kids like if you if you haven't made it by the time you're 17 it's too late unless you're like uh susan boyle she's the one that she's the one that was able to break late yeah and but like we've it's been non-stop susan boyle since she broke it's true i imagine she uh like whoever likes that kind of music, that buys all of her albums. They probably think she's, like, so middle of the road.

Oh, right. They're like, oh. She just got engaged to Michael Che, right? That's Susan Powder. Oh. Who got engaged to Michael Che? Oh, no, Pete Davidson Ariana Grande

It was a real I got it, I was having fun with it By the time this episode's out, they are not engaged Oh no! Yeah they are They're in love They're in love, you shut up I'm rooting for them

I'm strangely I'm fascinated by them. I'm strangely fascinated by them. Somebody on Twitter said that this is this generation's Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett. Okay. I see where they're coming from. He seems a bit more charming than Lyle Lovett.

Lyle Lovett was pretty charming. He's not dead either. You can see why they got together he's a famous comedian yeah and uh and apparently cute in his way yeah and apparently according to ariana grande he's got a big penis so where did she she said that on maybe nick nick at night you say twitch and we all go, and I said Nick at night.

So there we go. I just turned 40 this year. Was that a big, did that matter to you? No, not really. It just kind of came and went. Yeah, hasn't really caught up to me. I still feel 38. You look it.

You're 38, right? No, 37. Oh, fuck. Cool. You look it. You're 38, right? No, 37. Oh, fuck. Cool. Soon. Yeah. It's a magical time in a man's life. So the other business you have is you're wearing a baseball hat from my high school, your high school.

Kitsilano Blue Demons. I didn't know this was a hat you could acquire. Yeah, well, I went to the Centennial and I didn't see you there. No, I high school. Kitsilano Blue Demons. I didn't know this was a hat you could acquire. Yeah, well, I went to the centennial, and I didn't see you there. No, I didn't. Go. It was, so the centennial was the 100th anniversary of our high school? Yes. Is that what it is?

Yeah. And what do you do there? I did like a whole day. I think the mayor said something, and like there was a band. It's hard to get. It's hard to get the mayor. Yeah, yeah. Oingo Boingo was there.

There was a bunch of older men with their muscle cars out front. I don't know if that was part of it or they just brought their muscle cars. Cool. In like a PT Cruiser. They were just arranged outside, so I guess

that was part of it. Yeah, maybe they were former... I feel like... Former bullies. Yeah. Who got together, got organized. Every school that was open in the 50s and 60s has people who look back fondly at the

cars of that time. Yeah. The peachy cruiser. I just love that the bullies association, like, we're having a reunion. You still got your Camaro? Yeah. Yeah. You want to try around the neighborhood and throw eggs at nerds?

Yeah. It was the centennial, and it was also my class 20th reunion around that time. Okay. That's why I also didn't go to that. No, you didn't go? No. Have you been to, do you go to that. No, you didn't go? No. Have you been to, did you go to a reunion?

I went to the 10th. What was that? But the 20th was too far away on the beach or something. It was like noon at Jericho, which is, and there's like not buses. Eh, I didn't go. It was fine.

Everyone just got really drunk from what I recall. Right. It was like weird at first, and then everyone loosened up. Because that was mine just passed this year, and I like. 20th. Yeah. Yeah.

And I was afraid if I went that nobody I would know was there, and then all the pictures I saw confirmed that fear. There would have been like three or four people I knew there. What do you mean return to your hometown? Well, like the people that I knew. Because I had a big graduate class. So there was like a lot of people I never had any interaction with. Ours is like a couple blocks away.

Yeah, yeah. We could have done it. But then like I have, I didn't, I wasn't, I think I would know everyone. Maybe I wouldn't remember everyone's name, but I would know like every face. Do you remember the school song? Hail Kitsilano. Hail golden blue. Rah, rah, rah.

Sing we thy praises. All thy sons to thee are true. Rah, hail Kitsilano. We shout from the sky or to the sky. Honor and glory to the New Kids of Atlanta. He's so coy. Pretty good. And our Latin saying is fiat lux.

Let there be light. What was our... Do you have any more questions about our high school? Yeah. Can we talk about the logo? Yeah, it's very much the Cleveland Indian. It's the Cleveland Indian, and they just made him blue and put horns on him. Oh, yeah.

Which is exactly what Cleveland should do. That's a very easy fix. It's a very easy fix. Cleveland Blue Demons. Yeah. There we go. Huh. Yahoo Demon. Done. Yeah. There we go. Yeah. Huh. I have, do you know any?

Yahoo Demon. Done. Yeah. Done. Easy. Great Underlord Yahoo. Yeah. Wahoo.

Sorry, Wahoo. Did you, well, yeah, have some respect for the racist caricature. Did you, do,

I don't know anything about where the name came from. I don't know the history. School's 100 years old. No way that they were the blue demons 100 years ago. Probably not. People were afraid of devils. Yeah.

Well, there was a Lord Bing gray ghost. Yeah. And what's that from? Something, probably a haunting. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That was our rival school, Lord Bing. 100 years ago, they were probably demons just walking around on the street.

Yeah. Now we think of them as mythical creatures but back then yeah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah my uh my uh yeah butcher's a demon exactly they would have done that type of job they would have been your butchers and your your makers your candlestick makers three classic demons you know i feel like movers how's a demon not a devil uh more of a minion okay yeah maybe can we change it to the kitzelano blue minions oh that's perfect um because it does look like a it does look like like a devil so it's same same yeah same same same same yeah i feel like a demon is maybe like you know, sort of like a little scuttly devil. Is this time for our favorite segment? What is a demon?

Yeah. What is a demon? But also like something, somebody says that they're wrestling with their demons. That means that you're like an alcoholic or something. I think demons means there's more than one and devil is like there's the devil. Yeah. Right. There's only one devil

except there's that little devil. Oh, that juicy little butt. Yeah, his little butt. Hot stuff. His hot stuff. Yeah, hot stuff.

He's like, he's a little devil. He looks like Wendy the Witch but with horns so they just did the same thing. Who are the one,

who's in that? Is that Richie Rich? Yeah, it also looks like Richie Rich but with horns or Casper universe uh who's the like o fish girl a little lot of yeah yeah and there's a chicken yeah uh there was baby huey he was a big duck and they all smoked cigarettes yeah oh yeah spooky the ghost he smoked a cigar yeah he did yeah and uh and wore a derby hat a bowler derby yeah i never uh they never stuck to the physics of their own universe in that some things could go through them and other things they would trip over they could grab stuff but that was that's consistent

with the world of ghosts the movie so we talked about the movie Ghost last week. I feel like we did. There we go. Dave, what's going on with you, man? Not too much. You and I saw each other on Friday. Yep. We're recording this on a Monday. We're heading out of town this weekend.

So we're getting... This episode's coming out in two weeks. So I'm sorry to Ariana Grande. No, no. They're here to stay. They're going to make it. Okay, sorry. Sorry about Pete Davidson's Grande schlong. I'm sure that was the headline.

Ariana says Pete Davidson's wiener is grande Is muy grande Oh boy And it was Yeah so we saw each other on Friday To record last week's episode We saw each other yesterday We both

Didn't Oh no I don't know. I don't know about you. I agreed to do this, uh, Doug loves movies. Yes. Uh,

at the Rio theater as part of the save the Rio campaign. Uh, and, uh, it was, I agreed to it in April. Yeah. And forgot about it until he texted me that morning.

I guess I sort of had new in the back of my mind that it was happening. Yeah. It's only because it was in my calendar. Yeah, it was in my calendar, but I only set a reminder to remind me 10 minutes before. Do you watch a movie in real time and talk about it? There were two things. One was an episode of Doug Loves Movies, which is, you play games.

Okay. Movie-related trivia games. And then after that, you, me, and a comedian named Ungayo. What was his last name? Boy, I worked so hard on remembering the first name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know he's on a pot cooking show on Netflix. Yeah, he is. But yeah, so we, and Doug Benson, we all watched the last Twilight movie. Yeah, the Breaking Dawn Part 2.

Yeah. The Last Unicorn. The Last Unicorn. And. The Last Demon. It was. Soundtracked by America. What's that? Is that from The Last Unicorn? And The Last Demon. Soundtrack by America. What's that?

Is that from The Last Unicorn? By America? The Horse With No Name Band? They did the... No, that's not... They didn't do that song. America? They did A Horse With No Name?

Yeah. Really? Oh, boy. Now we don't know old stuff? Okay, Google. Look, all I know is Twitch. That's where I get all my movies from. Yeah, so we watched this terrible movie.

And like... Second part or first part? The second one. Yeah. Yeah. And it is... Yeah, so that part isn't released as a podcast. And so that was... We shouldn't talk about that because that's what you talked about on the podcast't released as a podcast. And so that was.

We shouldn't talk about that because that's what you talked about. I was about to start talking about that movie. No, no, no. That part wasn't on the podcast. That was only for the live audience. Oh, okay. So it was very. Dakota Fanning.

Dakota Fanning's in it. It's like a thousand year old woman. Her skin is great. She looks really young. She looks like 20. Yeah. And yeah, Michael Sheen and the big two warlocks

or whatever they're in it. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Dunst. No demons. It's pretty much all vampires. Wolves. Just vampires and wolves really. It's really just vampire on vampire by the end.

They go to Rome, right uh not in this one but yeah they there's the roman there's a roman connection and then the vampires all have powers like the x-men like they all have separate vampire powers which kind of then it's like well so being a vampire now is just like the basic. Like that's the, if you're just can live forever and have super speed and not die and whatever. That's just the, that's the bare minimum in this universe. Right. So they have. But he didn't have a power. Robert Pattinson.

Did he? Yeah, he had. Being sullen. Yeah, the power to smirk. Yeah, because he had a powerful sulk. And I was just surprised. I'd never seen any of these movies. And I was surprised because they were huge.

How no money went into making them. Like the... Shot in BC? Yeah, shot very much around here. Like there was just the special effects. It looked like 10 years beautiful forest beautiful beach there you go and fake fake giant fake wolves yeah couldn't they have gotten

real wolves and just like big if i had a big yeah yeah yeah it was like the wolves are bad the special effect where they go really fast yeah very dumb yeah and it never got not dumb. And what made it even dumber is sometimes they wouldn't go fast. Right. They can run around the world really quickly. Yeah. And their shorts reappear when they come back to human. Is that right? Oh, the wolves?

The wolves? Yeah. No, they got to strip down or their clothes get ripped. Okay. So it doesn't. I mean, I guess if you wore really baggy shorts. Yeah, some cool gym shorts. A little hole cut for your tail.

Yeah, that too. I know, I've tried to put underwear on the dog, and it's just like, it's so baggy in the weirdest parts. Especially when he morphs. Well, especially when I put Pete Davidson's on him. Yeah. Muy grande. parts. Especially when he morphs. Well, especially when I put Pete Davidson's on him. Muy grande. But it's, yeah, no, I was alarmed at how bad, like how cheaply made it was. And they seem to have two like product placements in the movie.

One was a Volvo. Yeah. That would just like like would be prominently placed in a shot for 30 seconds of people classic 90s box volvo no and modern volvo and they would do very like aerial shots of it you know driving which also like if everyone can run so fast why do they need a volvo they do like a shining opening of the shining movie of a Volvo. Yeah. It was very much.

It would just be these long sequences of just, you're just watching a Volvo. Beautiful and sensible. Yeah. And the other one, the other product shot was Jan sport backpacks. I think BC would be Herschel. Well,

they don't, they don't make it with the, that doesn't. Yeah. That's not a consideration. Jansport. Yeah, that was funny. It was just like, really, really jumped out in the movie as being one of the two. Because they don't eat.

And they don't drink. So there was no chance for them to like. And they don't watch TV. Yeah, they couldn't have a Snickers. Jansport and Note Tote. Trapper Keeper. East Pack. They should have had, like, Snickers because, you know, Wolf won down.

Oh, yeah, the wolves could eat. Yeah, the wolves. Yeah, that's true. They could eat. I mean, the vampires eat blood. Yeah. So they could have had some kind of blood. Like, I don't know, like at home.

What was that? BB King diabetes test. Didn't have to prick his guitar playing fingers and uh they're ethical vampires so they don't eat humans well the cullen clan yeah were yes but then there are how familiar are you with these movies I've watched like the first three and then when she had the when they had like the the vampire sex

and the demon baby it was too much I was like I can't oh well you would love the last one you have to see the last one you have to see how that turns out because there's a lot of

just like heads being ripped off oh I like that a lot of them that's fine that's fine and it's

I think like I think Michael Sheen's like a really good actor ripped off. Oh, I like that. A lot of them. That's fine. And it's, uh, I think, like, I think Michael Sheen's, like, a really good actor. I don't know if everybody else in those movies are good actors or not, but Michael Sheen's a good actor. Is that Boardwalk Empire guy? No. No, uh, that's Michael Shannon? Yeah.

Okay. Michael Sheen is, like, he was, like, my favorite thing he was in was in uh he played wesley snake yeah but anyways he's a really good actor but in this movie he's like very silly very over the top that's the only thing i could think of him in what would be his biggest credit other than this well in the loop he was amazing in in that Armando Iannucci movie. Oh, yeah. You know Michael Sheen.

Yeah. I know you know him. Yeah. You've definitely. Masters of Sex. Do you watch that? No. No.

Frost Nixon? Oh, yeah. That guy's around. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like a good actor, but in this movie, he was like, if that's the only thing you knew him from, you'd be like, that guy's a bad actor. I thought he was great. Because Doug Benson was saying that he knows him yeah and he michael sheen thinks this is a good movie yeah but if he only saw his scenes of course he does because

he's in them yeah that's true but he's acting like it's like obviously they were just like you're off the chain man like do whatever you want you're in in a were just like, you're off the chain, man. Like, do whatever you want. You're in a movie full of vampires. You're the vampire-iest one. You've got a crazy wig. Go nuts. And he really does. That's what I'm trying to do with my hair.

Yeah? Yeah, just trying to get like pointy in the front, long in the back. Dracula up front, older Dracula in the back. Yeah. Dracula, you know, retired Dracula on the back. But yeah, if you haven't seen any of the movies, start with that last one. Start with the last one. Yeah, because the other ones are, like, they're pretty slow. I've only seen the first one, but it was really slow.

Yeah, the other ones are just like a, like a what? Who not to date? Like, oh, a guy with anger issues or a guy who's just really sullen and totally distant. Yeah. Who are you going to pick? And an overprotective father. Yeah, whenever they try. A lot of bad male role models, basically.

Can you blame them, though? If your daughter's going to date a wolf or a vampire He doesn't know that. Well he doesn't, you're right. But she's always, because you know even when she was in junior high she dated a mummy. Yeah, sure. That's the prequels coming out.

She dated a creature from the life of a mogwai. During the first part of the show a guy a mogwai. And during the first part of the show, a guy was mentioning how drunk he was in the audience, loudly. And he had to get reprimanded. And then got thrown out.

Did you hear why? No. I saw on Twitter that the guy had snuck two six-p packs Into the show Two Yeah Yeah Cause it was two shows

Yeah Four hours of Sitting there Yeah So you're gonna need Twelve beers I mean maybe one was Half way for his friend

But Did he sneak it in Like a pregnancy belly I think probably Yeah Oh wow I didn't realize That's why

He got kicked out Oh that's so That's't realize that's what he got kicked at. Oh, that's very severe. It's severe for like a music festival, let alone just like a... It's a case of beer. Yeah. At that point, it's not two six-packs. Well, I don't know. But they were separate, I guess, right?

Yeah. I don't know if there was a plastic ring holder thing. Man, oh, man. Well, he probably deserved to get kicked. Good for him. Yeah. Good for him, yeah. for him yeah um uh yeah but that was fun yeah yeah yeah that's that was that's all that's going on with me since we last spoke

how about you um uh so on saturday night uh there's a place downtown here in vancouver called the penthouse which is a very old old old i don't know if it's always been a strip club. I think it has. Maybe it has been, but it's like. Might have been a gentleman's club back in the day. But it's been around since like the 30s or something. You're old. You're not that old.

Well, I don't know. You knew about this centennial of this high school. I just assumed you were a historian. You brought your muscle car down. It would be great if Taz was one of them. In his 70s varsity jacket. I brought the

Volvo. Volvo. My wife took the muscle car. She didn't know that today was the big day. She took the muscle car to get her hair set for the week. But

so on the main floor is still a strip club. But then on the top floor very recently some arts group has taken over the top floor. And so on Friday night they have jazz I think. And that Saturday Friday night, they have jazz, I think. And that Saturday night, they have comedy.

Yeah, that's jazz. Shout out to the Vancouver Jazz Fest. It just finished this weekend. I thought we could keep going. And Saturday night is comedy, and then Sunday night is something else. Curated by Kyle Bottoms? Kyle Bottoms is friends with the people who run it, so he's brought in all the comedians to do it.

And it's a neat little... A consultant, if you will. Yeah, he's a comedy consultant. And it's this neat little room, and there's a piano in the corner that's been there since forever. You did a piano? No. There you go.

There it is. Classic piano. But like Sammy Davis Jr. has played this piano. It's been there since forever. It's like where shit went down back in the day. It has a separate entrance, so this must have been like a VIP

or some kind of like getting high lounge or something. Because it's all very, you'd have to go in the back of the building. Opium bin. Yeah. It definitely has a feel of like something happened here. Or is it like the office and the bada bing? Yeah. But it's like this is the bada bing? Yeah.

But it's like this is. Where people eat sandwiches? Yeah. This is like, I guess they had shows. Because they have all these old posters on the wall and old headshots and stuff. And then, so they did a show there. And then, logically, I was like, regardless of whether or not i go into a strip club i'm exiting a strip club so i might as well go check out the strip club while i'm in this in this entertainment

complex i mean that logically makes sense yeah yeah you can't not walk through it yeah exactly so i so i went to this strip club which i haven't been to Strip Club for many, many years. And this one's pretty nice. It's newly renovated and they have like I say, all these old George Burns' old headshot on the wall and stuff. I approve.

He was a smoking cartoon, right? Is that in the boner killer category? Yeah yeah that's where they send you immediately after a laugh that's cool you dad boner killer corner and it wasn't like uh the my kind of experience with strip clubs is like mostly there would be like sad old men and then groups of like horny 19-year-olds. Yeah.

This didn't seem to have either of that category. So I don't know where those groups go in the city. There must be some. Oh, yeah, of course. There's plenty of other strip clubs, aren't there? Number five orange? I guess so. I've never been.

I've been to that one. But then there's like, is there like an upscale one in there? Brandy's? Brandy's. Yeah, Brandy's. Yeah. Okay. That's where Ben Affleck has headshots

on the wall. Hey, Ben Affleck cheated on J-Lo there. Yeah. And Affleck and J-Lo

were the Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande of the 2000s? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And we never got

a report on his dong size. it's out there somewhere oh yeah yeah the truth is he's got a full back tattoo now so he really does yeah i thought it was for a while i thought it was fake and then it just didn't go away yeah and then like it's of a phoenix yeah and jennifer garner was like am i the thing that he's phoenixing out from like come on come on man did she say that yeah she said that in an interview like it was on twitch guys i got all my celeb pro from twitch um so yeah. And there was like at one point myself and I wasn't just by myself. It was a group of us.

And I was looking at a Swiss Chalet commercial that was going on and it was playing in the strip club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was in between some sporting event. They had like televisions that had sport on it. They didn't lower a TV onto the stage. Check this out. Rotisserie chicken.

So, I don't think I've been to one that had TVs. Yeah. It was like, there was like an area that you could just kind of stand

next to the bar. Watch the World Cup. Watch the World Cup. Yeah, exactly. And then there was like the other room was kind of where the stripping was happening.

But you could see into that room from the bar. You never want to take your eyes off that. It's the non-committal room. Yeah, I was in the non-committal room. I just came for the TV. Yeah. What's the score in the Swish LA commercial? But the Swish LA commercial synced up real nice with whatever music was going on.

Pour some gravy on me a good canadian joke really good um and uh yeah i didn't didn't stay for very long but it was just it was a very like it was a real throwback because uh what i i drive past there sometimes. They have a very entertaining marquee. Yeah. That kind of continues to inside. Like, everything's pretty lighthearted. Yeah, they had one about reusable straws or something. Oh, really?

I don't know. I haven't seen it lately. But, like, also, they'll tell you what's happening. And they have an amateur night. Okay. I don't know. I've never gone, but that always seems like that would be the most fun yeah yeah just like can i go can i have a go but i also just feel like your average person who

who is an amateur who wants wants to be a stripper or wants to try it once right doesn't realize how long you have to be up on stage like how long long a song is. Yeah. Like four minutes. And like a lot of that is you know, Kiel doing crazy athletic you know, upside down doing all sorts of flips and stuff. Or blanket work. I didn't see any blanket

Oh, maybe I did. Blanket work. It's been a long time since I've Oh no wait, I did because there was one lady she threw the blanket down in a way that, like, it was bundled up and then it landed all flat on the stage. What is this?

Well, you gotta work up. You can't just come out naked. So it's gotta... Yeah, but she didn't, like, like a picnic blanket. She just, like, threw it and it landed perfect on the stage. Oh, like it was, like, a tent that opens up? Yeah, it was amazing. I was like, that's how I want to make my bed. Cool, perfect. Oh, like it was like a tent that opens up. It was amazing. I was like, that's how I want to make my bed.

Cool. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what I was thinking about while sitting there. Like, how could I make my bed easier and quicker? Like this stripper probably does. Yeah.

Um, but yeah. How long does it take you to make your bed? 45 minutes. Hmm. Are you, are you, do you make an ikea bed every day

yeah i disassemble it where does the slap go um yeah so i went to a strip club congrats yeah yeah yeah and uh you know so there was a real hard sell to have lap dance. Like, they don't leave you alone for two seconds. Yeah. Like, there's always somebody coming up. Oh, not your friends. Like, the people who were there.

No, the people who were there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They, like, they're. Do they walk around with a basket of oils and stuff for massages? Is that still a thing? No, there was no oils. Man, that would be hard to deny. Like when you're all greasy.

You can see your shirt is see-through. Yeah, where were you? You know, presumably at some kind of barbecue joint. Oils, oils. I was meeting with uh rex tillerson you smell like lavender yeah exxon's getting into lavender oil so yeah it was uh it was a real experience and it's like that place is like uh i don't know if it had you ever been before no never, never. Never to the penthouse.

Steeped in history. Yeah. So it's kind of. And cum. A lot of these places that are steeped in history are steeped in cum, too. Yeah. I mean, and that's just part of history. Yeah, that's true.

I mean, aren't we all? Yeah. Yeah. I think Kanye said it. It's, yeah. But if you're a real historical nut, or if you own a Busta Nut. You're not allowed to bust a nut at a strip club.

Well, you could probably. You don't need to tell anyone. Yeah, that's true. It'll be our little secret. Me in my pants and my oily shirt. Gross. You want to move on to some business? Yeah, absolutely.

This happened today. Yeah. And I had a rehearsal down in Granville Island. What'd you rehearse in? A new show at Theater Sports. Okay. Cool. Avocado Toast.

Everything about Vancouver. Although that quote is not a Vancouver quote. Avocado toast is a millennial. Yeah, it's more of a millennial.

Yeah. But it ties in. Touchstone. Yeah. I had it this morning. Yeah, it's delicious. It's good.

I had eggs on top. It's not that expensive. Yeah, no, you're not, it's not the reason you can't afford a down payment on a house.

Exactly. Yeah. So enjoy avocado toast. Then I was walking home on the seawall in Falls Creek, and there's that portion where if you want to take the land bridge, you guys know the land bridge? That goes over Second Avenue. Oh. It's like a bridge, but it has plants on it. Cool.

And bushes. It's nice. I like to take that. But you have to walk through, and the path goes through Falls Creek Elementary School. And you have no choice but to walk through an elementary school, which normally I wouldn't walk through an elementary school. But this is why, just a bit of backstory, why I was walking through an elementary school. School's out, though. No, it was in.

Oh, boy. It's last week. I still have one more show this week at a school. It was in, and I was walking by, and I heard, I don't know if this was over the PA or a kid had a megaphone, but it was definitely amplified. Last week of school, a kid might have a megaphone. Yeah, that's true. It's free for all.

You're square dancing. You're doing all kinds of stuff. Watching The Grinch. I guess that's last week before Christmas. Yeah. dancing, you're doing all kinds of stuff. Watching The Grinch, I guess that's last week's before Christmas. Yeah. And I just heard Amplified,

it's your last chance to get your Fortnite newsletter! Get them now! And that's all I heard, and I don't know if the kid was printing them out. They're definitely not making them, because that would be online. I wonder, though. If he's making his own. Yeah're definitely not making them because that would be online. I wonder, though.

If he's making his own. Yeah, he's making his own. He's like an industrious kid and he's making his own and selling them or giving them away for free. He's got a key to the copier room at the school. They wouldn't let you use the PA if you were selling them. Unless there was raising money for summer vacation. Yeah. I don't know.

Maybe. Fortnite awareness. Yeah. But he definitely is, whoever this kid is, is industrious. Yeah. Because even getting on the PA system, you have to have a lot of... It could have been a megaphone, but either way, getting a megaphone. Yeah, you got to have a lot of self-esteem.

You got to have a lot of self... And you're not just hitting the siren over and over again. Good for you. And you're not just doing feedback? Yeah. Putting the microphone in the hole? I've never used a microphone. No? No. You? Yeah, yeah. You? Yeah.

Yeah, they're a lot of fun. You click a button and you talk through the thing. Or there's the like Riot Squad ones where it has a separate walkie-talkie that connects to the thing. Those are fancy. Yeah. I don't think this kid had that. I think that's the standard now.

No. The disconnected one? Because otherwise you're hitting the button. Those are the ones that have the siren, right? They're the ones that have the connector. No, I think they all have the, there's different kinds. So, if I'm talking through a megaphone, do I hit one button for siren and a different button for talking? Yeah.

See, I would have to practice on a gun range first, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think. It's the safest way to do it. This is a bucket list thing for you. Talking through a megaphone. What would you say? I'd say, one more

item off my bucket list. Fortnite Journal Order. The Fortnite Times. Last issue. Fortnite Times. That would be a fun thing to walk into a strip club with.

Hey, can I bring this in here? Megaphone or the Fortnite times? Megaphone. Hi. Hi, lady on stage. You're doing great. Dave, do you have an overheard? I have an overseen, and this one's kind of a, I don't know if this counts.

Maybe I'll get voted off the show. You make the rules. Yeah. Yeah. There was a, so how do you picture your average Vancouver real estate agent? Oh. Dog in lap on a bus stop. Dog in lap. On a bus stop. Dog in lap?

Yeah, on the bus stop ads. They always have a dog in their lap. Really? A lot of them. I picture I picture either like you know, there's a lot of combo real estate agents here. Like a father-son

team or like you know, we're the four people from four different backgrounds. So we're like a squadron. That's how I picture it. Like a team. Yeah. I picture someone in a you know, a BMW.

Yeah. And like a really nice suit. Yeah. Showing you around a house. Yeah. Showing you around a house. Yeah. Or showing people around a house. Named Spice Lux. That's one of the locals, one of the big names in local real estate. Spice Lux.

I don't know if she or he are still around. I don't know. But there's, so yeah, I'm always, whenever I see, you know, open house, you always see I'm always, whenever I see, you know, open house, you always see a very nice car parked outside with a sign on top telling you, pointing you into an open house. Right. And you might see a slick real estate agent. This real estate agent I saw yesterday showing people around a house was wearing, he looked like he was an employee at like a mid-level hotel. Like, or like a like, you know, maybe even like

La Quinta. Like, he was wearing matching pants and vest. Oh yes. With a name tag. Okay. I've never seen a real estate agent with a name tag. Does like Royal LePage have a uniform now? Oh, I don't know. I guess they used to have

whatever. Like a yellow jacket yeah because they they were yellow jackets or was that uh century 21 yeah but they definitely had they had red jackets didn't they no that was the simpsons i uh just like the it looked like the most like uh like the compared to what you think of as like a super slick real estate agent just like i i have to wear this for work yeah like and you just get whichever one is assigned to your yeah yeah you're just like you call up the company and they just send whoever yeah yeah i want to buy a house from an individual yeah fucking not or a team not a sheep uh there was a a couple brothers that advertised on a billboard near my house and i feel like they should have in their ad

been wearing they were both wearing suit jackets with open collar uh shirts and they both had their head shaved and they looked exactly like the twins from Breaking Bad that go on that. Oh, yeah. And I was like, you guys have not seen Breaking Bad. Because otherwise you would have worn ties and been like. Were they holding up matching guns? Yeah. Were they wearing those cowboy boots that have like a long coat?

We'll sell your house. Or else. So do you have an overheard, my friend? Oh, I have an overseen. we'll sell your house or else. Yeah. Um, so do you have an overheard by friend? Oh, I have a, an overseen and I usually, I don't oversee, uh,

uh, vanity license plate. Right. Very rare that I actually, we get a lot of them posted on the Facebook. We do, but this was a, this was like a,

a real muscle car Corvette,vette, really souped up. Kitsilano, centennial material right there. And it had four exhausts on it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so it's like, this is a real deal. And the vanity plate was a Ram-bod? Like Rambo, but with a D on the end. Yeah.

What's a Rambo like a ram? body of a mountain goat very sure footed hard headed Rambo Rambo D Rambo D

force of freedom Rambo it could be Rambody oh we are bumper stumped yeah it could be ram body but still is a corvette corvette's not a ram right no that's a dodge truck yeah the dodge truck so we're stumped yeah we're stumped yeah Rambod. I saw an Aston Martin the other day, which is the kind of car that James Bond sometimes drives. I think he leases.

But this one had, it didn't have a vanity plate, but it did have a regular three-number, three-letter plate, and the three numbers happened to be 007. It was like 007JPF or whatever. So someone in the office was like, give him this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've been saving this. Did they see what kind of car they're putting it on?

Maybe. Yeah. But on the back, it just looked normal. On the front, he had cut it or folded it over so it looked like one of those long skinny British ones. Oh yeah, yeah. Like what a cool guy. You can fold your license plate? Your front license plate

doesn't seem to matter. Huh. Yeah. You don't have to stick your registration to it. I don't know what the deal is with that. Kind of funny how license plates kind of just they

were like okay we've got it to this level of technology and we're just stopping like it's not going to be like a code that you could scan it's not going to be anything but just a metal plate that has had numbers and letters uh yeah i guess i want digital i guess i want something a bit like they ones, like, but they're still just like, ka-chunk, came out of a machine. Yeah. Presumably by a convict. Yeah.

I mean, I guess I don't really know what else I want from a license plate, but you know, over in the Europe, they have those long, long plastic ones. Plastic? Well, they look, they look more plasticky than our. I think they're the same. Yeah. Yeah. But they're not punched out.

They're just printed on. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I don't know. Lame. What do their convicts do? Get rehabilitated? Yeah, break rocks.

Oh, sure. Yeah. Well, that was a thing for, I guess, in a time when it was hard to get gravel, that you'd have prisoners breaking rocks. Busy work, I think. Yeah. Oh, I see. Yeah.

But they must have sold off the broken rocks to somebody. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, if there's a dollar to be made, I'm sure. A little gravel pit. Yeah. Because now they do whatever, right? Call in centers.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if I've learned anything from Orange is the New Black, yes. Yeah. What have I learned from Orange is the New Black? The prison's nicer than you think. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if I've learned anything from Orange is the New Black, yes. Yeah. What have I learned from Orange is the New Black? The prison's nicer than you think. Yeah. And that Jason Biggs is kind of underrated.

Yeah. Yeah. The whole cast of American Pie should get back together. Do another sequel. You mean American Reunion? Yeah. It already happened, buddy. Do another sequel. You mean American Reunion? Yeah. Already happened, buddy. Every ten years. I saw it on the movie channel the

other day. Do they resolve anything? I guess everything was tied up. They kind of make fun of Stifler for being out of date. Right. So there's a little bit of that. Like, what do you mean we're not homophobic anymore? How many

of the full cast American Pies are there? Three? No, I think there's like eight. Yeah, no,

because there's so many that are just Is Bandcamp not them? No, that's just like Eugene Levy and a flute. There's at least four because there's a reunion,

there's a wedding, one, and then one and two and a wedding and a reunion. And there's summer vacation or whatever, isn't that three? That was the second one. The second one. It was the summer vacation. Yeah, summer of St Wedding. One. And the one and two and a wedding and a reunion. And there's summer vacation or whatever. Isn't that three? That was the second one.

The second one. It was the summer vacation. Yeah. Summer of Stifler. Yeah. I feel like I've watched them all. Yeah. I don't know that I've seen the reunion one, but I feel like I have.

So maybe I have. I've definitely seen Bandcamp and it is. Why have I seen that? Oh boy. On the plane? Yeah. It's a plane movie. No, we also have overheard Sent Into Us from people the plane? Yeah. It's a plane movie. No, we also have overheard Sent Into Us.

I don't think it is a plane movie. I don't think they would show you a lot of things that are like... They show everything on a plane. I guess they do now, yeah. I look over and someone's getting beaten to death on someone else's screen. And everyone else can see it. Yeah. But no straight up porno, but pretty close.

Some love scenes. And sometimes you can watch plane crash documentary shows. No. Yes. No. Because they show TV and sometimes CBC is playing. Oh, sure. Like, world's greatest plane crashes on the plane.

That's your tax dollars award. Yeah. Fucking CBC. World's greatest. Greatest. In our greatest. Greatest. In our countdown. Number nine. This is kind of, a lot of people don't give this plane crash the respect it deserves.

It might be Spike TV. Oh. Is that now the Paramount Network? It is. It changed. CBC is Canada's Spike. I think we can all agree. I was watching the Paramount Network.

They had this show called Ink Master. Yeah. And it was hosted by David Navarro. Navarro. David Navarro. David C. Navarro. From Jane, Jane,

Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane,

This guy named sausage is so happy. His name was sausage. Yeah.

It wasn't a tattoo of a sausage. Oh, I wish. Oh, yeah. If anybody's getting a tattoo out there, consider a sausage. Yeah. A sausage that has the word sausage written on it. By sausage. By sausage.

Yeah. Now, we also have overheards sent in into us from people all over the map. If you want to send one in, you can send it in to spy at maximum fun.org. And this first one comes from Mariel H in Columbus, Ohio. Hemingway? Yeah, Mariel Hemingway. What is she in? She's in, what's her famous movie?

She's an actress. Yeah, I know. But what's her signature piece? Was she in Manhattan? Is that her? Yes. Muriel? It's Muriel. Come on. How close are you going to...

I was on the bus this weekend, and there was a man who looked about 50 sitting in the back corner on his cell phone the whole way. The only part of his conversation that I heard clearly was this. R. Kelly. I said, have you heard of him? Well, you should really check him out. I mean, why not now?

I guess if you haven't heard of him now, where do you start? Oh, trapped in a closet? I would start with the headlines. Who was on the other end? I'm writing an essay on bad people. Oh, R. Kelly Kelly have you heard of him yeah check him out

this guy he's got it all and uh thanks dad yeah he's a little kid writing an essay on demons

really yeah um yeah I mean he's been around how like a long time now R. Kelly

yeah early 90s yeah since the 90s since the new jack swing so it's not inconceivable that a

50 year old would be familiar with the works of R. Kelly yeah but it would be inconceivable that R. Kelly would be familiar with a

50 year old hmm pretty good thank you yeah this next one comes from Rob B. Uh-huh. Parts unknown, but in a Chipotle near the bathroom where I heard a teen say,

this is like a near-death experience. I don't know. I've never been to Chipotle. Oh, you gotta. Yeah, but not based on this. I mean, the bathrooms you don't want to go. No. Yeah. You been? Yeah, it's fine. It's fine.

It's just like Mexican food. Fast food. Fast food. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's great. See, yeah, I knew that you liked it. No, I said last week, I think I might just like that Chipotle Tabasco sauce. Oh, right. Because I put it on everything now.

Creme fraiche? Nope. Not even close. I feel like creme fraiche, that's something that I only hear of on cooking shows. Yeah, I think they have it like that. Sour cream? Yeah, but they call it a creme fraiche. I gotta

tell you, they don't have that. Chipotle? Okay, Google. Creme fraiche would be like what you would put on like... It's like... I'm thinking of Whole Foods. Whole Foods has creme fraiche instead of sour cream. Oh, okay.

Okay. Ah, right. Knocking on heaven's door. There we go. This last one comes from Tom in upstate New York. This is a kid say the darndest overheard. I was playing a game with my three-year-old son

where we make little cities on a map. We finished a city. Everybody's building cities, building... Babies having cities. Yeah, babies building cities. And I asked him what he thought it looked like son it looks like a dragon i see it's two butts oh yeah yeah as the dragon grows they grow

two butts so yeah is that true i don't know from dragons i know from demons yeah how many butts demons got the demons are going the four and five butt range four or five butts butts a demon's got? B-demons go in the four and five butt range. Four and five butts on a demon. Just one on a devil, but what a tushy. Oh, boy. He has a little squishy little hot foot. Is that his name? Hot stuff. Sure, but hot foot works.

Yeah, why not? Yeah. In addition to overheards that are written in, we also accept your phone calls if you want to call us. It couldn't be easier. What you got to do, you get your phone, you make sure there's a chip card.

This is Chris from South Jersey calling in with an overheard. I was at a wedding reception last night at a restaurant in South Philly and I heard one of the what I assume to be groomsmen talking with the groom and a couple of other friends and I heard him say well, I can't say for sure whether or not I'm going to be pegged

in this lifetime. I'm only 34. Yeah. Yeah, it was a long life. Yeah, and your prime pagan years are right around the corner. Yeah, sure. 36, 39. Keep yourself life. Yeah, and your prime pagan years are right around the corner. 36, 39.

Keep yourself open. Both figuratively. What do you think are the best pagan years? I mean, any years you're with somebody who's tender. Who knows the move. A lover with a slow hand. A lover with an easy touch.

Yeah, you can leave your hat on. These are the kind of music you listen to while a lover with a slow hand, a lover with an easy touch. Yeah, you can leave your hat on. Yeah. These are the kind of music you listen to while pegging. Yeah, I think so. You want to put on some early 90s Bonnie Raitt. Sure.

Yeah. And then, you know what? Give us something to talk about. Raitt. What is it? Raitt. Sorry. There is an R-A-I-T-T.

Yeah. I mean, maybe I've never said it out loud before. Maybe I've always just read it. But you know what? Everyone says Rayet. I don't know if that's right. Bonnie Rayet. I've never heard her say it.

That's true. Hi, everybody. I'm Bonnie Rayet. This is Bonnie Rayet for cystic fibrosis awareness. Bonnie Rayet. This is Bonnie Reitt for cystic fibrosis awareness. Bonnie Reitt. This is Bonnie Reitt. I am Bonnie Reitt, and I'm here representing.

Basketball's my favorite sport. I love it. I love the way they dribble up and down the court. That's Curtis Below. Curtis Below. That is like, I can't believe that passed for rapping. He was talking about his favorite sport. I know, but it's like the fact that people were impressed by the easiest rhymes in the world. I like alley-oops and dribbling the ball.

Do you rhyme alley-oop with hoop? Yeah, definitely. It's like that kind of thing where whatever the first line is, you can guess what the second line is. Yeah, it's true. You probably just wrote down, okay, what are a lot of basketball words? And then just we'll rhyme that and then we'll just fill in the detail. And when you can compare that to like Lose Yourself, which is like the anthem of my generation. Oh, fuck.

It's just, oh, it came on the radio the other day. I was like, oh, this is the anthem of my generation. God damn food stamps don't buy diapers. Hi, Dave and Graham and wonderful guests. This is Justin in Vancouver calling with an overseen. I was just at McDonald's and the employees behind the counter were wearing black promotional T-shirts. I think they had like a box of fries in yellow on the back and on the sleeve

it said, I just came for the food on the short sleeve and unfortunately one of the employees had that sleeve rolled up so it said I just came. Pretty good. Pretty good. A real cum heavy episode. Yeah.

God damn. It's, I go to the thrift store a lot and every once in a while there'll just be like a large dump of that type of shirt. Like a, ask me about our family plan or whatever.

And there'll just be a hundred of those at the thrift store. Chipotle would just be a hundred of those. Chipotle, now with creme fraiche. What do they think anybody wants to wear those for? The employees didn't want to wear them. They had to wear them. Yeah. And then the day after the event,

ask us about our incredible two. Maybe you need someone who happens be like making a short film. Yeah, that's true. And they don't have a budget for uniforms of a fast food place. Yeah. Let's go to the thrift store. That's like, that's basically what they're hoping for when they put those out. Here's your final overheard.

Hey guys, this is Andy from Atlanta. I'm calling from the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. And I was standing near an exhibit featuring Lou Gehrig. And behind me was what appeared to be a middle-aged woman with her elderly father. And she saw the exhibit and went, oh, Lou Gehrig. Did he die of Lou Gehrig's disease? And the dad quietly said, yeah. And she said, oh, that's a bad disease.

Off I go. Yeah, I mean, he's right. Thumbs it up. Yeah. This is Bonnie Raitt for Lou Gehrig's disease. Yeah. You know, Lou Gehrig's disease. He got the disease and he had to change his name, I heard.
