Stop Podcasting Yourself - Episode 593

Episode Date: July 29, 2019

No guest this week as we talk about science museums and Repo Man. Also, the thrilling conclusion to the four-call overheard from episode 590.

Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Woo! Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 593 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who would like to take some time to celebrate Adrian Grenier on his birthday. The day we're recording this, but should be every day that we reflect on his career, Mr. Dave Shumka. Yeah, we're recording this on, what is it today?

I don't have his birthday memorized. The 10th? Yep. It's also the 15th anniversary of when I got my dog. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. And you brought him home as a little pup. As an eight-week-old.

Here's how old he is. Yeah. No one was like, don't shop for dogs back then back then people were like shop for dogs we didn't get him in a pet store or anything but we did get here's how old he is yeah we got him in an ad in the newspaper really yeah you would buy the newspaper and look in the classifieds we just had puppies who come get some puppies yeah so like uh maybe myspace was still a thing yeah definitely um you know twitter was on the horizon it was 2004 it was even maybe before myspace wow i mean myspace maybe existed but i don't i remember 2006 was my big myspace year have you ever gone back to see

if your myspace account i think i definitely canceled mine like i took the steps i didn't take the steps mine's still out there somewhere uh what do you assume gaming followers we don't have a guest this week we'll get to not that later uh what uh what do you remember if i went to your myspace page what would i see oh uh jeez Louise it would have been like who was in your top eight i didn't do i never did that i never did a top eight did you have a zwinky what was it was winky. I don't know. It was like you could make yourself into like an animated Japanese girl. Maybe. Was there music that automatically played when you? No, because I hated that.

I think that's what killed MySpace. Was the automatic music. I think I had, because like, would you also list things that you liked? Or would it connect? Yeah, but in like a snarky way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Collect dust. But I can't remember, like now I'm trying to picture a MySpace page in my head, and I don't know what it looks like.

I'm only asking because I did a thing with mine. I think we've probably talked about this, but I noticed there were a lot of guys who just had pictures of themselves showing their abs. And so I befriended a bunch and made my whole, like my top eight was just guys showing off their. But like, what do those guys think when another guy befriends them on MySpace? Are they like, oh, another friend. I remember it being a big thing of like how many friends you had. They're probably just thinking like, let's get those numbers up. That's true.

I think I followed Dane Cook and he was the king of MySpace. Oh, yeah. And then everybody automatically followed Tom. And then, but could you unfollow tom maybe it wasn't follow it was friend friend right yeah yeah yeah because it was the facebook it was a place for friends yes it was a place for friends oh boy but yeah i think the automatic music was what done what done it in yeah imagine if like if it still existed and it was like because every no one i mean people still do it on the desktop but like if your facebook app if you open up your facebook

app and just music started blaring and it's you know it's not like uh it was always just a a like a chunk of a song or was it the whole song would play i'd never stayed on a page long enough to know to hear the rest of this emo song that's gonna be my afternoon is going back back to my myspace page to reclaim it i don't uh i don't remember i don't remember anything about it i don't remember anything about it. I don't remember what pictures I had on it. You know, I think maybe I had a picture of Alfred E. Newman. R.I.P. Mad.

Oh, my gosh. What a month this has been. Yeah. And we're even like grams away. I guess we're probably done now. I guess we're probably done now But we were We're pre-taping A bunch because Graham's out of

The town and so am I For the second half of July So everything we talk about Will be a compressed July Oh July's been such a crazy month Ripped horn Has passed away R.I.B.

Come on. Who else? Ross Perot. Ross Perot. We lost him. I can't. It's weird. He was probably lampooned by Mad Magazine because Alfred E. Newman and Ross Perot both had big ears.

I bet you he was Ross Perot on the cover. Because there was a time he was really leading the charge do you remember that year when ross perot was in it yeah i only remember it through the lens of dana carvey oh okay can i finish yeah um it was i just remember there was a time when he was like leading the polls like he was out in front yeah but ahead of both the democrat bill clinton yeah and the republican george hw bush and he was leading and then uh they like ruined his daughter's wedding and that got him out of the who ruined his daughter's some political pranksters or something and he was that's

what made him get out of the race yeah i was 11 so i don't know if i have all the details so and canadian i was canadian the whole time yeah so he dropped out of the race because some pranksters got to his daughter's wedding yeah they toilet papered it and jumped in the cake yeah yeah yeah and they wrote uh vote clinton in shaving cream oh man yeah well i'd drop out too yeah she the night before when she was getting her beauty rest they drew a mustache oh no yeah impermanent marker yeah and they drew a penis on her face too but because she wasn't married at the time they couldn't draw her husband's penis that is the rule yeah yeah once you're married you can only draw the person's husband's penis or vagina yeah that's right um didn't he he ran if i'm recalling

correctly he ran twice for as an independent. I don't remember. I don't think he made it very far the next time. And was he short? Was he tiny? Yeah. He was like a tiny little guy with big ears. Yeah.

And like head hair just, you know, pomaded to his head. Yeah. Like kind of like it wouldn't take a lot to make him a character from the Fievel series. It wouldn't take a lot to make him a character from the Fievel series. I mean, that was truly going to be an American tale if he had become president. And R.I.P., by the way. But also, it's okay to joke about someone who lived for a long time. Yeah.

I think if you crack 85, then we get to crack jokes yeah we can we don't have to wait very long i mean you i mean you can now that enough time has passed i can make fun of people who died young a long time ago yes like amelia earhart yeah nice chompers yeah yeah james dean you're so cool yeah um and uh but marilyn monroe still stays still too soon yeah it's still mostly because of that elton john song yes that uh goodbye england's rose from america how many times do you think he'll rewrite that song before he passed? He doesn't write lyrics. Right. So the rumor I've heard is he told Bernie Taupin my very good friend Princess Di died in this car accident. I didn't want to say died, but I did.

Or was it an accident? Yeah, that's true uh and we're after doty and they um uh i want to perform at her uni uh it's being held at uni the crowd will be large not puny you said he doesn't write lyrics and so he was like uh hey bernie uh can we write something like a little bit like uh goodbye norma jean or whatever that was called candle in the wind i like in this story that elton john can't remember goodbye norma the song uh goodbye norma jean was you know

what we just uh when we because i need to know the first lyric when i'm doing performing live on my set list yeah i just say goodbye norma jean the rest is piped into an earpiece yeah sing along yeah but i just need to know hey everyone, everyone. Is it hello, Norma Jean? No, it's not. Hello, Norma Jean. How about that? Do, do, do. All cars.

Woo, woo. And then, so, the rumor is that there was some miscommunication and Bernie Taupin was like, Taupin? Yeah. Was like, Taupin? Yeah. Was like, oh, you want me to weird out this thing? Now I'm trying to think of what the weird out version would be. Goodbye, England's Rose. Goodbye.

Who else would he? When Prince, is Prince Philip alive? Yes. Oh, yeah. There were rumors that he had passed away a year or two ago when he, like, gave up his royal duties. Because there was, like, an emergency meeting at Buckinghamshire Palace. And there were rumors that I tweeted that Elton John was going to write, Goodbye, England's roses, ex-husband's dad

elton john is in the meeting and prince philip is old enough now that we can pre-make fun of his death these are the rules yeah these are the rules and also is he not one of the guys who's been like rumored to have spent time with this jeffrey epstein i think prince philip is one of the i don't know those kinds of rumors i only know rumors about songwriting what other good songwriting rumors are there huh oh there's uh you're so vain what's that uh it's by carly oh no but what's the rumor oh the rumor i mean there's she never said who it's about oh right uh i heard warren warren baby david geffen also i heard uh the guy who is a canadian talk show host uh ralph ben murgy

didn't know david steinberg oh yeah yeah because they spent some time together david steinberg is i think we've talked about him before but he's like when people from the 70s talk about stand-up comedy they're like david steinberg and but i don't know anything those recordings have all been lost to time you know he's just a serious guy who does interviews sometimes yeah it's the same with uh with jay leno like still to this day people say jay leno in the 70s nobody funnier than jay leno but there's no recorded evidence of this still to this day well because nothing holds up from the 70s anyway almost nothing have you seen this chicken pot pie or whatever microwave chicken pot pie something like that would be a yeah yeah yeah yeah kind of reference we talked a few weeks ago

about with dino archie oh and by the way let's get to know us oh yes get to know us i had no guests this week uh as we try to slam a bunch of episodes in a row yep um but i think we're doing great without a guest i guess would only slow us down this week as we try to slam a bunch of episodes in a row. Yep. But I think we're doing great without a guest. I guess it would only slow us down. Sometimes it's like pulling teeth with a guest. It's like you haven't been in a year and you didn't come up with anything to talk about.

You had, it's been 12 months, you've had six haircuts. That's about right. We were talking a few weeks ago with Dino Archie about the 70s. And by the way, remember with Dino Archie when we had that caller who tried to get the overheard done and took them

four tries and they still didn't do it? Yeah. We're going to get there today. Yes! We were talking about nothing from the 70s holds up like The Party or first season of saturday night right right um but i think the jerk the jerk does for sure the jerk is good uh most steve martin stuff yeah and when i was a kid like i really i really liked uh the woody

allen movies from the seven it's like sleeper and bananas uh they're because they're very silly yes and they do um hold up and yet and yet he has not held up his end of the deal sure we're not celebrating these we're not gonna scream them from the mountaintop no no but it's weird it's uh yeah i think like uh mostly comedy especially like stand-up comedy like it just is it's part of that generation yeah because people talk about uh they talk about david steinberg and they also talk about uh robert klein and uh yeah just like oh that guy was so he and i at the time he must have been mind-blowing yeah like this guy's just talking about toothpaste but you after seeing so much of that you're like but it's weird that like there are stuff i love

from the 80s like it just might be that i'm 10 years too young to like anything from the 70s yeah yeah like that's probably as bad as the and problematic as the eddie murphy uh stand-up specials are yeah that like universal childhood stuff about like getting ice cream well that ice cream bit is pretty stellar yeah uh but i feel like that's one of those bits that just transcends time because yeah kids now still like ice cream and ice cream truck yeah what are the i guess what are we what kind of we're going to stand up yeah yeah stand up podcast what are the bits that are just universal i the one bit that i think is universally if you could play for a kid

now they'd still laugh is brian reagan talking about playing baseball oh like that that anything to do with baseball or him at school as a kid uh i think kids are like i was gonna say brian reagan you too like oh yeah and 30 years later and i still think of it anytime someone says you too yeah like it's that's true it has not aged a day but i remember being on a plane like maybe six or seven years ago and a bunch of teenagers were all quoting the baseball bit i was like i was like yeah this is this is like as long as kids are playing baseball they're gonna easy out easy out brian snow cone right right you get a snow cone after the game yeah cherry snow cone ah comedy guys you should uh stop listening to our true crime, sad podcast.

Discover comedy. Yeah, just go out there. Discover it for yourself. Apparently. Okay. On, I don't have it. I don't have Amazon Prime, but they have all the A&E evening at the improv. Oh, really?

And I could really dig into that i bet i could oh i have a lot of memories about like yeah being 12 and my parents being old enough for my parents to go out and like dave order a pizza we're gonna go out go we're gonna go watch four hours of stand-up comedy watch annie's evening at the improv caroline's comedying of the Abroad, Caroline's Comedy Hour. Comedy on the road. Oh, man. But yeah, I don't... I would love to tuck back in and see... You know, see what was... Yeah, it would be great.

Like, if only we had Amazon Prime. Well, impossible to get it. Graham? Yeah? I'll give you my password. Yes! Try not to order any diapers to my house, because I already do that. Graham? Yeah? I'll give you my password. Yes! Try not to order any diapers to my house, because I already do that.

What's going on with you, man? Well, since we don't have a guest, I always feel like I have to come up with like 10 topics. I think we're doing just fine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, so I've been... Yesterday we went to Science World. Oh, yeah. Because the kids are off on summer break. There's no break.

They don't go to school. Margo's going to start school in September. Is she aware of what that means yeah we went to a she goes to preschool okay and uh screams at us for leaving leaving her alone 80 of the time yeah uh but uh and we went to like this we went went to the kindergarten. Yeah. They did like an introductory session of here's some things that you might want to, your kids, if, you know, they set up a table of like scissors and. Oh, here are things that. Yeah. That you might enjoy.

Yeah. But also if your kid's struggling here, here's some, you got a few months before school starts so maybe practice a few of these things right like a table of you know just shaping out the letters right uh table of you still have water table that's water table it's a bit preschool okay so this is this is advanced this is kindy yeah okay uh and they uh but yeah so uh i was gonna call it waterboard and i was like nope that's a different devastation for that just a bucket yep uh uh yeah so they um they yeah so she's aware of that it's still gonna be terrible she's gonna not like going no she's like she's perfectly fine in class she just does not like the minute between when we drop her off and when we walk away yeah yeah yeah um because you guys are walking away like in a conga line

we don't have kids for two hours we don't have kids for two hours it just looks like so much fun what you guys are doing uh but yeah so so she's in these camps and poppy's in camps all summer uh just to kill two hours a day yeah yeah yeah of course uh and so but after the camps yesterday i took them to Science World. Yeah. The science museum. Yeah. Which I realize I haven't been to in years.

No, neither have I. But the kids have. Oh, really? But it's usually because I work most days. And so, the days when I have the kids, I, you know, we'll go swimming or whatever. Sure. Abby has them every other day and has to come up with so many activities. Yeah.

Yeah. So the kids have been to Science World a million times. Yeah. Uh, also when someone comes to town, like when a tourist is here, it's always on the list of like things to do. Yeah. Like go to Science World, go, you know, go to Stanley Park. Yeah.

I don't know why grownups go. To do? Yeah. Like, go to Science World. Go, you know, go to Stanley Park. Yeah. I don't know why grown-ups go. Like, every grown-up who's there without kids, I'm like, what? Someone must have told you this is a thing. Yeah. Because it really isn't. It's a thing for somebody that's in town with a kid. Yeah. Or if they do the, like, after dark.

Yeah. The chemistry of cocktails. They bring a bunch of old pornos. Yeah. This used to be science. But yeah. Were there just adults just walking around without child accompaniment? Yeah, definitely.

Huh. But they were German, so it's okay. And we went into this mirror maze. Yeah. Which is in the section about patterns. Okay. Yeah, good. Close enough.

And it's very dark. And, like, it's all triangles. Like, all the segments of this mirror maze are triangles. Right. And it's all lit up. And so, you're either just because i guess a triangle i didn't read any of the panels around yeah triangles must make some sort of it's pretty good for repeating patterns i guess i don't know

and what's the science behind this reflection and we were in there a while we got lost and uh ended up having to come out the front and that's fine just get us out of there it's dark and scary uh but at one point i saw two guys jousting with like a this brush i was like what are you doing and and then dumb me it was a guy one guy cleaning the mirrors with like a squeegee brush those mirrors must get filthy yeah because all all at a certain height yeah just like smears of grease yeah that's a good way of finding your way in and out where the smears of grease and then just follow those up exactly this is a very popular area um it is funny though when uh when like because they have special exhibitions

like and it's like the science of pixar and i'm like really is it or is it just pixar just take a picture with the buddy yeah yeah buddy and woozy whatever their names are um have not seen uh toy story 4 yet um it's good oh you you saw it yeah i saw it yeah oh we talked about this yeah it was good you know sad uh yeah there's always a tinge of sad yeah why are you crying dad oh you'll know uh. You'll know when you're sad. I'll give you something to sad about. Uh, and so, uh, yeah, we went there. I dumbly thought someone was two people. Yeah. And that's like, uh, uh, that's like a classic, you know, climax of an action, uh, movie is a run into the hall of mirrors.

Enter the dragon. Yeah. Yeah. And then, uh, you know, there's just, there's never just a guy in there cleaning the mirrors who gets shot.

There should be. There should be. Yeah. When I do my funny, uh, karate movie, what is it going to be called? Boy,

Kung Pao. Was that already or something? Yeah. Enter the fist. Yeah. Was that Steve already or something? Yeah. Enter the Fist. Yeah. Was that Steve Odekirk? Yeah. It was like a movie maybe where they took old Kung Fu movies and like re-dubbed.

I could be wrong about this, but I feel like. Is he the same guy who made all those thumb movies? Yeah. Fat thumb. I wonder if his MySpace page is still. Oh, boy. Yeah. movies yeah i wonder if his myspace page is still oh boy yeah that's something from the early 2000s that still holds up those movies i haven't seen but still make fun of uh yeah yeah they still hold up uh yeah and then as we were so we were there a couple hours

what else was in like was there anything else that you hadn't seen there before? Or is it all like, put your hand on a ball and your hair goes up? You know, the piano from Big Style. Yep. The big piano. Is there like a giant hamburger that you walk in? I remember a giant hamburger, but I didn't see it. And I asked the kids about it and they were like, no, I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah. Daddy, that was all a dream. There's a big hollow tree. Okay. Maybe that replaced the giant hamburger. There's like a room of bugs. Oh, that's fun. Like live?

Yeah. Okay. But none of this is new stuff. I'm sure the, I didn't recognize the hall of mirrors but it must is there a pendulum that you like pull back and see how far it swings in the other direction no there's like a um uh like i guess a lever i don't know science when i'm there i'm just trying to like to like keep both the slow one and the fast one in my vision. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But like, there was like a big like sort of lever. Yeah. Like, basically it was a, gosh, this isn't the word for it. It's a simple machine. Yeah. But you, at one end is something very heavy they had a fake hippo right and the other end like the rope there's a rope and you can pull on the rope from different uh parts of the thing oh yeah see how you would lift up

this hippo right yeah yeah like that's the type of thing I remember is, like, a thing that you, like, you had to pedal something. Yeah. To make a light bulb go. And then there's some stuff that's just, like, this is a toy. This is, like, they had that, what do we call it? The thing from the Sharper Image catalog where you put your hand in and it went on the pins. Yeah, yeah. And it leaves the impression from the sharper image catalog where you put your hand in and it well on the pins so yeah yeah and it leaves the impression they just have that

but a big one like a like a you know five feet wide and eight feet tall i remember when i was a kid at the science center in calgary there was i just remember vividly because every kid did the same thing it was like you stood in front of this camera and then it would show like a pixelated version of you. Oh, yeah. And every kid just gave everybody else the finger. It was great. I remember one where you stand there and there's a flash and it leaves an impression of your shadow. I remember that.

And everyone would give the finger. I did it once and someone came up to me and said don't do that don't do that you'll break the machine yeah now they seem to have a uh heat sensitive camera oh yeah that uh you know it shows everyone's hot groins yeah that would be crazy you stood in front of it and all of it was green except just in the groin area was like bright red it's summertime summer i got summer groin i got that summer groin sadness uh so yeah and then uh we were there two hours and as that's a long time although i was like we could have gone longer there were parts we didn't even go to um and i snacks in there yeah there's like a popcorn bar and uh i asked poppy what her favorite thing was she said kit kat

so that was the favorite thing she experienced while we were there was the half finger of Kit Kat I gave her. Yeah, but you know, you always remember your first taste of Kit Kat. And then as we were leaving, they had been running around for two hours and they were tired. And so Margo wanted me to hold her and Poppy wanted me to hold her. So I put Margo on my shoulders yeah and i carried poppy in front of me just to the parking lot and a guy walked by and goes oh like a totem pole oh that is fun yeah the uh um i just like because i know people who have worked at the science world.

Yeah. Me too. Lots of them. Yeah. Yeah. And it just seems like, like most parents just let their kids go wild. That it's like all the sharp edges have been sanded down.

Yeah. So it's like, okay, just let your kids do whatever, run around. It would be like and i'm not i mean i was a little worried because i would like lose one of them for 10 seconds yeah uh and you're like well would a kidnapper invest the 25 dollars it costs to come

in here the budget kidnapper it's like you know what i'll just hang out at a burger king is burger king a place that kids go it's cool to be a kid yeah that's right um yeah or a mcdonald's play place yeah yeah yeah these are places that uh that the savvy kidnapper goes but you're out of town german kidnappers ain't gonna sign oh yeah exactly oh boy don't when you're kidnapped in germany it gets bad yeah um yeah i don't uh also like science world when i was a kid i remember thinking this about the science place i was like was this built for this purpose because that seems crazy like there's so many places that are just like a secondary like it this place used to be a laundromat yeah yeah yeah yeah but like yeah i think i think most

museums are purpose-built yeah but that one was built for the expo and it was something but i don't think it was a science thing it was like a pavilion or something yeah oh sure and then they were like okay we'll turn this into a science oh you're right yeah but like i wonder if that was the same as the one that i'm thinking of in calgary but it but i'm like what the hell could it have been like it had a crazy spiral staircase yeah well like new ones maybe i maybe the one in vancouver was already like they knew it wasn't going to be part of the expo after the expo was over that's true so they it was they just roll it out of town they had it in mind but well like the mcbarge we talked about oh yeah but we uh the like when they build new museums they're all really flashy now.

Like the music museum in Calgary. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was purpose built. And the human rights museum in Winnipeg. That's, yeah. It's beautiful. Yeah, yeah. I would never go in because it seems like a bummer.

Yeah, I did. I did it and it was sad. It's not a ton of exhibits about people having human rights no yeah it's and i went there with my parents and you're supposed to go uh by level and then go up to the very top and there's like a view of the whole city to kind of so you can contemplate uh but we didn't go in any order so like the last exhibit we saw was so sad you didn't get to go up to the top and contemplate the nutty club guy yeah but yeah like uh it's a great it's a great museum but yeah sad yeah heavy yeah yeah you're

not gonna spend two hours there with the kids and just run around and uh you know uh explore the romeo de lair exhibit um another thing that's going on well the other day uh i've always heard people uh talk about discovering that they were allergic to something late. Late in life. Late in life, like, oh, this does, this is not supposed to taste like burning to the rest of you. Yeah. And I think I might be allergic

to kiwis, or does everyone have that in the back of your throat where it just kind of doesn't feel good? Yeah, you're probably allergic to kiwis. Okay. Yeah. But that's, that's like... I don't know, do you love kiwis? No. Yeah, so that's kind of like a fine, but also like, am I supposed to take the peel off?

No, you're just supposed to eat it. Yeah. It's supposed to, it's supposed to like scritchy scratch at the back of your throat. Kind of tickled because of the fur. Maybe that's it. Um,

the, uh, this is the other day. Margo was, uh, all the kids at my parents' house, all her cousins were having dinner and she wanted milk. So I gave her milk and she drank it.

She said, oh, this is spicy milk. Oh, no. Oh. I kind of ignored it. And then she had another sip. Yeah, this milk is really spicy. And I was like, oh, I had a sip. It was spoiled.

So you tell me she's allergic to spoiled milk. She's allergic to milk that expired a week earlier. It's a spicy milk. Just drink it. It's Sriracha brand milk. It's Frank's red hot milk. And like, that's also the whitest sentence in the world. This milk is too spicy.

I pinpointed that one. good yeah um yeah kiwi was something like i was already i remember as a kid like it being sold as a really fun thing to eat because he had to like scoop it out like a soft boiled egg but i was like no it's too many seeds too many seeds you're not fooling me uh maybe i'm remembering it wrong maybe i should get back on the kiwi train yeah i also don't know when a kiwi is good like that's i don't know what's good or bad about when it's spoiled it's like it's not supposed to be as soft as yeah you're not it's not supposed to like sag like a pouch even in the summer with this hot groin um i find this in the summertime my kiwis sag yeah sag in my kiwi pouch um but yeah i don't know uh i gave up on kiwis a long time ago. It was just, I don't like seeds. With your number of allergies, you can't afford to give up on anything.

Yeah, but I feel like kiwi was like an easy one to lump in. I'm like, yeah, also kiwi. Let's say I'm allergic to that too. Because, you know, if you got like a fruit salad and there was kiwi in there, I'd pick around. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't know. It's just a weird

it's weird it's a weird fruit it comes from new zealand yeah as does the bird right yeah they just not have as a kiwi like their aloha oh that's a kiwi that's a kiwi and i'm a Kiwi. That would be a good souvenir shirt from New Zealand. That's Kiwi. That's Kiwi. I'm a Kiwi. That actually is one of these timeless bits I've been talking about.

I still remember Dave's, that's a Kiwi bit. I remember there being, uh, an act from the eighties, a standup act. It was a guy that was supposed to be a robot that was doing standup comedy. And then I saw a preview for a new standup show. And that guy who's on the show, he's still doing the robot standup comedian act.

That's great. Yeah. He's still doing it. it was ahead of its time and now past his time like he never did it when it was its time oh sure he was like what was the perfect time for a robot stand-up uh 1995 okay well just or 1998 when the matrix he came out oh he was that kind of robot i'm picturing like a big blocky robot no he was like more like uh like that primus video like he had like had like weird makeup and he like moved really weird big brown beaver yeah and he was uh he just like talked about floppy

discs and stuff so good do you remember the kids show where the guy would talk? It must have been Canadian. And this guy in the 80s had like, he would talk to kids in the audience. And he would say, and they would talk like robots. I don't remember this. I am a robot. The kids would say it? Yeah.

Okay. Then what is your name? name is brian bot what do you like to eat cupcakes and sparks they would come up they would try to come up with some kind of robot diet or robot activity what What's your favorite sport? Circuit ball. I remember. And they would always be doing karate choppy hands. There was a kid show when I was a kid from Calgary called Buckshot.

And my friend was on it when he was a little kid and he showed us the video of him being interviewed by Buckshot. Buckshot is a cowboy, I'm guessing? He's a cowboy. And he said... That's a cowboy? That's a cowboy? I'm a cowboy. It's Calgary.

He asked him what his name was and he freaked out and knocked the microphone Out of his hand Run Nobody said there'd be questions What's your name partner I hate this Um Yeah Buckshot still with us

But is he old enough that we can make fun of him? Oh, yes. And plus he's embroiled in this Jeffrey Epstein thing. I mean, who isn't? These tendrils go, they go deep. Yuck. And one other thing, one other topic I brought to the table, thanks a lot, guest.

Yeah. Your six haircut story. Yeah. The other day i was at so i'm like notoriously and i don't know i don't know if you know this about me but i'm the dead rapper notoriously big super nintendo sega genesis that's like a like a mom trying to remember the name. Notoriously B.I.G. Yes, I'm trying to buy this Notoriously B.I.G. CD for my child. For my child. Wrap along with Notoriously B.I.G.

Oh, he raps about video game consoles and how expensive they are that's what kids love um i i can never tell this is what i'm notorious about i can never tell when people are drunk or high or anything like i unless it's very obvious like unless they're like stumbling yeah yeah yeah like comically yeah yeah so like i will go i've i've gone to parties and then like the person i was with was like let's go and i was like oh why it's like everyone here's on cocaine and they just ran out of cocaine and it's gonna get bad bad. And I'm like, oh, I just thought it was a fun party. Yeah, we were in that hall of mirrors. Oh, that's what everybody was doing in there.

Or like those people were so giggly. Yeah, they were so fun. Oh, they were high on pot. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, yeah. But the other day I was at shoppers drug mart and there was a group of like women in their early 20s and they just couldn't function and it was very entertaining and i was proud of myself for knowing that they're because at first one of them was was really keeping

it together yeah and they i was behind them them waiting to pay because at night they don't have the self-checkouts. They don't? No. Oh. And so they were paying, bought some stuff, and one of them dropped their debit card on the ground. Right. And it bounced behind her. She thought it bounced in front of her and went underneath the the counter yes and it went on the ground and she looked at her friend like with the

most afraid look like what are we gonna do she got down on her hands and knees and like looking under the the base of wherever the cashier is yeah whatever you call that kiosk and there's no there's no way to get under there yeah and i've just said uh excuse me it's it's right there you're so high and i know it yeah yeah yeah you're in trouble i'm calling all your moms yeah Yeah. Oh, that's that just like that scenario brings back memories of being in. Where was I? I was with a long time ago past guest Sam Easton. Uh-huh. And he was he was very drunk after a show and dropped his wallet and all of his cards went under a chip display

and i just remember laughing so hard and the guy on the counter must have been like these because it took him so long to reach under and get all his cards back oh boy it was hilarious but yeah it's uh it is funny to see it's also funny to see kids who think they're getting away with it like i've definitely been on the bus with uh kids that have a two liter seven up that's clearly a grower's side yeah yeah yeah and uh they just stink they just like smell like pot and alcohol and they think they're they're really you know but they're just giggling they're giggling my sunglasses on no one will be able to see my red eyes but they're just being so silly and loud they have no idea how like that they've just lost that amplification and i've definitely had friends who smoke so much pot that i'm like i just don't know day to day what's normal for you yeah well

because then it does get to a point where you're just like just a normal person who's like you're like i just smoke pot and i'm fine and i'm'm fine. I'm impaired. I'm legally. Yeah, legally I shouldn't be driving or operating this crane, but. It ain't going to operate itself. The, yeah, I do kind of like, I like the fact that you, like, that you got to have that experience. Because it's a very, it's's like you're the adult in that situation very adult yeah where it's like listen listen i'm not gonna rat you guys out because this is legal although i wonder like because like you can get arrested for public intoxication can you get arrested for being too high yeah just anything disturbing the

the piece but if you're just being you can't get arrested for being too silly no it's true um maybe you can i don't know mischief man that's true that's what that's what that means it's a real umbrella term disturbing the piece uh so what's up with you um how many haircuts since we last recorded zero zero haircuts i uh this past weekend was um one of the ufc championships uh so i went over to past guest uh mark chavez's house he's a big ufc fan oh is he uh so i went over to watch the UFC fights. I'm so happy that you didn't have to go to a bar. Yeah. It was the right way to do it. You've gone to many a bar.

Yeah. To watch these. And it's like too crazy. It's too crazy. Everybody gets riled up like a sleepover. And then everybody wants to wrestle each other. And, oh, we have stand- after this uh ufc so everyone stick around and watch these skinny boys skinny boys uh yeah uh and so the the big um there was like

five five fights i mean i guess there was like fights, but we only watched the main five. Uh-huh. I saw one of them because it was very short. It was the shortest fight ever. And it's so funny because they do so much lead up. They show the back or they show the weigh in. They show the trash talk. They show the long walk in, the prep prep the walk into the ring the checking their hands

to make sure they don't have a weapon um it goes on and on and then that fight lasted five seconds one guy just jumped up hit the other guy in the head that was it yeah and uh and and then it was a lot you could tell like the producers were like stretch for time like joe really go in there and ask ask a lot of questions yeah joe rogan uh you know just give some of your thoughts on everything yeah yeah yeah do what you do on your podcast you know get the guy high so it was just very funny because that was one of the marquee uh uh matches and the the two guys in that match uh the guy who won uh johnny high kick and then his opponent looked like a guy who's just always sleepy yeah like he just had a really

sleepy droopy kind of face to begin with yeah so his like the fact that he like immediately like went to sleep was very funny a brutal sport it is a brutal sport but having said that i think i could survive six seconds well that's i i think i was like i as long as i didn't trip going into the ring. Well, I think my natural fight or flight was buy me an extra second of trying to climb out of the octagon. And then where can I... Has it been six seconds yet? Where do I tap out? They just start playing yackety sacks as soon as it starts.

He's really running around in circles. I do remember once watching WWF Wrestling when I was a kid. A match that was like... It was just a Saturday afternoon broadcast. It wasn't like the WrestleMania. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like some, one of the faces, one of the big time wrestlers came on and whatever the jabroni would call the ham and agar. Who was just. The jobber is just uh the jobber yeah the jobber the no-name guy had been announced and was waiting in the ring for the big time guy yeah do his big

entrance the guy comes in jumps on the guy pins him right away and walks out yeah this was like a contractual match yeah like i'll go in and I will pin him. But, yeah. No wrestling. I'll suit up. I hurt myself. Yeah. I'm going to be the Undertaker, but I'm going to be wearing jeans in this episode. Yeah.

He's still wrestling. The Undertaker? Yeah. He's been wrestling since I was a kid. And he's still at it. He might be a different guy. Oh, yeah. I never thought about that.

Because he does wear that flesh mask. He does have his hair in his face a lot. Well, not anymore. It's quite receded. Probably the same guy then. Yeah. Although, that wouldn't be a... If they could just create a character...

Well, I guess with the mask characters, you can have many. Yeah. There were many doinks, for example, over the years. Not anymore. I think doink, they were, well, maybe still around. Was doink canceled? Yeah.

I'm telling you this, uh, it got everybody. Um, so yeah, I watched that. That fight was, uh, kind of the most uh notable yeah uh the other fights they were all they were all good uh you know the last one was kind of a snooze because the the guy who's the champ has the super long arms and nobody can get close to him really yeah he's uh so he just swings from far away? Yeah. He just keeps every... He does that thing where you hold the other guy by the forehead

and he swings and swings and swings? Who's the guy from Street Fighter that had the long arms? Dhalsim? Dhalsim. He's Dhalsim. Does he breathe yoga flames? Yeah, at the end of the match, yes. Oh, okay.

Yeah. But he's a tall, skinny guy, John Jones. Oh. And, uh he's like, he's a tall, uh, skinny guy, John Jones. Uh, and, uh, I don't know. I said that somebody is going to have to have super long arms to beat him. That's the only way.

Uh, taco fall. The nation turns his lonely eyes to you. He's the new, uh, kind of minute bowl guy. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, playing in summer league right now. This is throw the ball over top of everyone and he grabs it and puts it in. That's great. So he just stands by the net?

Yeah. Nice. I like it. You started following basketball. Yeah. And I kind of did just because I was bandwagon hopping on the Toronto Raptors success. Yeah. So I've been following the trades but i very

quickly got lost in who was who as soon as they switched teams i was like i can't remember anybody yeah and their first names i'll start with k do we want kairi or kawaii or kevin yeah or camba yes um but yeah i tried this was my first time ever trying to follow like a trade thing uh it didn't work out well for me and i don't like i i i don't know exactly what the salary cap deal is so many players are getting the max yeah well i don't i don't really understand what it's like i don't understand how much money every team's allowed to have. Are they allowed to have unlimited money? No, there's a salary cap. So there's a team, the teams are allowed to spend a certain amount of money. Right. The way it works in hockey anyway is that certain

players are allowed to only account for a percentage of the team's total cap. And that's like a yearly cap? Yeah. So that's why they can sign somebody to like a 10-year, $700 million deal? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Because I was like, well, this cap seems meaningless if you're allowed to sign somebody for that much money, but if you break it up. Yeah, and there's like signing bonuses that once the math comes into it

yeah i'm out yeah i'm more of a science museum guy levers and pulleys and whatnot wedges yeah yeah yeah um so yeah i watched uh watch the ufc and uh made bets did you yeah with people or just in the room okay how many people uh there was four of us and uh who else likes it does anyone i know well ryan beal was there and he but he does not follow and was asking questions all the time uh so that was fun it was fun to have somebody who knows less than i do but and he was betting yeah yeah that's good but you know betting very much like there was one guy who was really handsome so everybody bet against him i bet for him because he was so handsome he didn't win is he still handsome yeah yeah yeah okay yeah uh he should get out of the ufc while he's still handsome uh because uh you know somebody's gonna punch him the wrong way and

he's gonna get a knee to the forehead now he's gonna have a big goose egg up there Because, you know, somebody's going to punch him the wrong way. Yeah. He's going to get a knee to the forehead. He's going to have a big goose egg up there. But, yeah, I think I lost money. But what kind of bets were these? These were like dollar bets. Okay. But we were only betting just on what they looked like in their picture. uh we were only betting just on what they looked like in their picture and uh if they looked handsome or if they had uh you know if they had like a fun hairdo these were the things

we were betting yeah yeah yeah okay uh the way they do in vegas um so i did that and then the other night have you ever had this happen where you like see something and you say something yeah yeah and then you get a little ribbon or something an award yeah what's the what's it what's it for me to see something and say something where's my parade but like where you see a movie or a tv show or something and it's so up your alley but you're like how did i not know this thing that existed that's like it's perfect i love it yeah uh so i discovered a movie that i think when i was a kid i was intrigued by the video box boy what can you oh boy uh as what year did it come out 19 i think it came out in

either 1984 and 1986 and is a comedy it's a it's kind of a weird it's like funny but it's not specifically a comedy it's like a cult movie oh it's like a cult classic like kentucky fried movie or something not that but it's yeah it's like a movie like you may have heard of it okay tell me it's called repo man oh yes yeah with emilio estes and um ah character actor that i'm totally forgetting his name oh i know him harry dean stanley yes uh anyways i watched it and i was like i love this i like everything about it i'm like i love this movie it's so crazy but why it's been around it's been it's been accessible to me for many years how did i only just discover it i i wonder if it was a kind of thing where guys were too into it at the time.

Right. Like someone in a few years, in like 20 years will be like, how come no one told me about Fight Club? It's because everyone talked about it nonstop for five years. So we had to stop. Yeah. Yeah. Like maybe, yeah, maybe Repo Man's one of those. And the guy who wrote and directed it, I looked up his IMDb page and read the kind of synopsis of his other movies. And I'm like, these all sound great.

What else? There's one starring Elvis Costello about a bunch of guys that do a robbery and then hide out in a ghost town. But it's not a ghost town there's still people in it okay it sounds great does it to me it sounds great i don't know a lot about elvis costello's acting no he was very funny on the simpsons sure um but like uh it was yeah it was great but uh yeah maybe it was one of those movies that it just because i've always heard it talked about as a cult movie yeah it's and it's weird like it's a weird movie it has aliens in it and uh it but it's good like and emilio estevez i was like oh yeah he was

great he was i've never thought he wasn't no, you know, I haven't thought about him for many years. Like, even, I mean, like, Charlie Sheen, people could be like, oh, he was great. And then he did that sitcom for 10 years that everyone hated. And then he came out as a maniac. But, like, why? But, like, Emilio Estevez never really did anything to sully his reputation. No, but why is he not around? Like, he should be around

as much as you know ted danson yeah you know kevin bacon yeah like we should he should be showing up as superman's dad or something yeah that's true you know he's he's like solid and you're like exactly right he never sullied himself maybe he did and we don't remember oh yeah maybe he got doinked he's great even in the in the bad movies he made what uh the only bad movie that i think of his aside from maybe the mighty ducks mighty ducks several sequels yeah uh was uh he did one about bobby kennedy was that bad it wasn't great okay but maybe he directed that i don't know hey look we we didn't come here to litigate no estes career but also why did he was he trying to step out of his dad's shadow by going estes well his brother stayed sheen well his dad's real last name is estes of his dad's shadow by going Estevez while his brother stayed Sheen?

Well, his dad's real last name is Estevez. Oh. His dad's name is, I don't know, Martin Estevez. But Charlie Sheen's birth name is Carlos Estevez. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. I guess I don't know much about Charlie Sheen.

You know, I feel like the only time I paid attention to him was during that meltdown. You remember I went to see that live. That's right. Was it at Rogers Arena? Yes, it was. My brother-in-law bought a whole row of tickets. What a weird thing that was. i think he thought it was going to sell out and he was going to make money right instead i went for free and it was it was at

the big arena and it was the last show on the arena and you could tell the steam had run like i don't getting being crazy for people every night it's hard especially because i don't know i have hiv yet oh did he uh what no i don't think he had it yeah i don't know if he did or not um does he i think he does doesn't he i don't know uh it's uh it's not a death sentence anymore it's a life sentence that's right yeah um they say they're close to finding the cure okay right around the corner um the uh but he what did he do he came on russell came and interviewed him renowned interviewer russell peters people who did people hollered yeah people yelled People yelled. Oh, people discussed.

What should we yell? Everyone's yelling stuff. Should we be yelling something? But it's like the first time, I could be wrong about this, where like a tabloid thing decided to go on tour. Well, maybe in our memory, but I did go see Batboy as a child. but i did go see bat boy as a child yeah i went uh you know when uh paris and nicole richie weren't friends anymore at the tour yeah i went and saw the tammy faye baker yeah uh musical but it's weird it's such a weird thing that it's like a one-off where it was like hey everybody's talking about charlie sheen right now let's do a tour yeah of something it is the kind of thing of like well

how do we monetize this yeah this hype it's like they're borrowing from the music uh industry where used to be you'd go on tour to promote the album so people would buy it but no one buys albums anymore so you just charge way more for the tour yeah it was uh was it at any point entertaining oh no it was uncomfortable yeah it was he wasn't in it yeah uh the crowd didn't know how to behave it was at the arena but it was the like the goalie net yeah area and back like if they turned the goalie net backwards and had a goalie address the audience and that why don't they have that that was the only part that they sold tickets for right was that part of the arena so it should have been in a theater? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although what theater would sully its reputation?

Oh, sure. Don't sign our wall backstage. Yeah. Did Russell Peters do comedy? Yeah, he did like 15 minutes before. Okay. Like, oh, hey, isn't this ridiculous? Look at you.

You there. Okay. Like, Oh, Hey, isn't this ridiculous? Look at you. You there. Yeah. This is going to be fun. It was the missiles of truth. True or whatever. It was the, he was a weapon of mass truth. Tiger blood,

uh, sponsored. Wasn't that his thing that he had tiger blood? I feel like I should look up if he has HIV. Could be that tiger blood. He, yeah, and like, but he was having like a, that's the other thing that's so crazy about it. He was just having like a meltdown and management was like, you're hot, man. Oh, boy. a meltdown and some management was like you're hot man um oh boy i don't know i'm getting a lot of a lot of crosstalk a lot of crosstalk according to one article the first thing that comes up

charlie sheen in 2015 said my blood is now hiv free Oh, huh. Okay. Well, I believe him. Okay. Um, but yeah, it's, uh, it's just so weird. It's so weird. It's so weird that you went,

yeah, like that. You got to see that weird part of history. Yeah. Well, yeah, they'll talk about me. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. God, Elton John will write a song about, you'll be able to, like, one day. Goodbye, Graham's Rose. You went and saw Charlie Sheen once, and you don't remember much. But at some point, you know, God willing, Margot will discover Charlie Sheen. And she'll be like, you know, he's really funny in Ferris Bueller

because I feel like kids will still be watching Ferris Bueller and then you'll be able to be like oh fun story about this yeah I went and saw him in concert you should see Hot Shots yeah I'm gonna you know what let's go over to whatever is the streaming service

in the future John Cryer's in it. Yeah. These two would later work together in two and a half men. Margo's left the room. Just you watching Hot Shots. Oh, that's the dream. I also like in Hot Shots too when he's there in the forest or jungle and he's like doing a there's this fight people are betting on fights yeah and he has to fight someone and uh the guy uh like dips his

knuckles in oh in glass yeah yeah and then he's got like a fixings bar to dip his knuckles in people are shouting gummy Gummy bears. That movie still holds up. Probably. Yeah. I mean, at least it's got some gags in it that still are. I just want gags. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's no movie. Like, if there was a movie that just promised gags, I'd go. Sure. I'd go. I'd stream. I'd watch.

Did you see Movie 43 or whatever no that have lindsey lohan in it maybe or paris hilton may have leave schreiber oh leave schreiber nice he was tricked into it a movie that all the people in it have been tricked into it uh i'd watch yeah okay that that's not a bad idea you have to do this yeah um should we move on to oh overheards uh boy oh boy you know as segments go this one is the most second of the podcast where you hear things out there in the world and you share them here on the podcast and we usually start with the guest but uh how many haircuts did you get this year guest i was growing it out for a while so i got four good good good that we're up to date um yes uh dave do you have an overheard yes i do all

Oh, okay. You haven't overheard? Yeah. Mine is, uh, I was eating at a diner and, there was a couple behind me and I don't know what the content of the conversation was. It was something about the price is right. The price is right was the topic,

but I don't know what, what they were talking about, but I just heard, uh, the husband or maybe they were friends. Maybe they were plutonic friends. I don't know what, what they were talking about, but I just heard, uh, the husband or maybe they were friends. Maybe they were plutonic friends. I don't know, but,

uh, the planet of Pluto. Yeah. Hey, uh, someone's going to, Oh boy. I said,

you said plutonic. I tried to correct you by making a joke. And now someone's going to correct me by saying Pluto is not a planet. Yeah. Pluto got planet. Yeah, Pluto got cancelled. Got doinked. Anyways, the woman of the

pair said, oh, I haven't watched The Price is Right since Bob Barker died. And as of this recording, Bob Barker's still very much alive. Yes. Still is interested in knowing what the price you would give for

this thing of margarine. Yeah, and is completely uninterested in seeing testicles on pets. Still to this day. Yeah. I watched that documentary about the guy who was like good at guessing

the prices on the prices right oh what's that oh it was on netflix it's like the perfect guess yeah and uh bob barker's in it i haven't seen it uh he like he's on uh some of those hollywood uh tour stops oh like the stars stars homes and he goes out to the bus and like chats with i bet he does yeah he loves it he still is like hey remember it's bob barker yeah well that's what his whole thing was he talked to people yeah he was like i guess he got on the show by accident like somebody he was a radio producer and somebody didn't come in or was sick or whatever and then he filled in and his wife was like why did you do that that's what you do for the rest of your life it's not like i can see a celebrity being like i'm an artist i just got into this to make movies i

don't i don't want people coming to my house yeah but he's like there's rules yeah yeah you all love me yeah uh and all i did was show up and be myself yeah for however many years like 45 years or something that he was on the show um anyways still with us still going strong yeah bob barker i i wear bracelets says barker strong yeah and i i'm like that, but I'm just more informed. I will continue to watch The Price is Right until Bob Barker dies. And then you sign him out. Yeah. It's funny that they've kept the 70s aesthetic. It rules.

Yeah. It's like a weird thing that they decided to do. They were like, we're not going to update it. It's still going to look just like it always did this is what airports used to look like but they updated all those yeah oh that would be the best to fly i bet you if you flew into like i'm trying to think of like a country that maybe would still have a 70s airport like maybe estonia or something like that, that would be awesome. There's people still smoking in there.

Yeah. I'm sure there are. Yeah. Uh, but, uh, if anybody has a line on a good seventies airport, let us know. Yeah.

Cool. Um, now we also have overheard sent in from people all over the place. If you want to send one in to us, you can send it in to spy at maximumfund.org. This first one comes from Stephanie in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Ah, smoke them if you got them. I was walking with my husband through Target when we came across a group of what I'm guessing were 17 year old girls who were looking at bathing suits. One girl was discouraged, not finding anything she liked when another girl showed her a lifeguard style suit saying it was perfect since she was a lifeguard.

The first girl loudly responded. I don't want to save lives when I'm off the clock. Yeah. Yeah. And if you're wearing the uniform, you have it's true that's the rule it's like why you wouldn't buy a uh some like a fancy guy a tuxedo t-shirt um yeah the here's the here's a weird thing it's like every time that i go uh anywhere stay in a hotel and then find out they have a pool, I've never brought a swimsuit. And then the other day I was like, do I own a swimsuit?

I might not own a swimsuit. It's possible that it's been so long since I've gone swimming that I do not own one. The old one evaporated. I guess I don't know what to tell you. You go swimming all the time. You for sure have a swimsuit yeah multiples uh i got trunk style like oh yeah yeah okay i've got like trunk style when i'm with the kids and when i swim by myself the slightly smaller trunk yeah more sleek trunk style yeah that trunk style though

not like they also make like speedo tight trunks but i'm not that's not for me man that's what i i'm picturing like is i it's been so long since i've been in a pool i don't know what's popular like trunks wise are they like down your knees that style of trunk or like a shorter trunk it's all available to you everything still on the table there's there's the uh waistbands that are like just string that you tie there's the waistbands that are elastic they got one that's got belt loops you have to get belt loops they got suspenders wearing a bathing suit with suspenders is a funny look um well maybe i'll maybe i'll buy a swimsuit next summer this summer's almost over forget it it's too late they every stores moved on to fall oh yeah i guess at this point we're

after our montreal uh live show so thanks everyone for coming to that oh yes thanks for everybody showing up uh but graham didn't go in the pool there no i uh didn't have a swimsuit uh i thought about going in and jeans cutoffs but uh the clear signs saying do not do not please do not and you know i feel like a lot of jean threads would then get into the filtration system yeah a lot of uh indigo would get into the pool and people would think that i think that I peed and just set off that special dye, but it's just indigo from my jeans. That special dye can't exist.

No, no, no. Otherwise, I would have seen it. Well, definitely, I would have. Because I swim with children. Yeah, yeah. The whole pool would be... The kiddie pool. They put that special magical pee dye in.

There was also rumors when I was a kid that if you pulled a fire alarm that it somehow got some kind of dye on you. Well, there's a little vial that breaks. A vial there, yeah. But I don't know that it sprays out a dye.

An ink? Because then they'd have to look at every kid's hands under a light or something. But wouldn't they? I mean, not a dye. You wouldn't look under with a special light. It would be all over your hand. Yeah, but then that punishes anybody who was pulling it for... For real reasons? For reals, yeah.

Yeah, but they'll be, where's the hero? Let me see your hands. Put your hands up. Yeah. Yeah. We have a ribbon for you or something. You said something, you saw something, and you pulled an alarm. The worst would be if you legitimately had a duffel bag full of cash that you didn't steal from the bank.

Yeah, that's right. But you also set off a fire alarm and... That same day. And the ink went all over the bag of cash. Yeah, your duffel bag of cash. I was going to buy a van. This next one comes from David N. Sitting in a uh food court in the baltimore airport i bet you that's a kind of 70s airport uh at the next table is an approximately 60 year old woman

with a heavy boston accent i don't know if i could do this observing all the foot traffic she said to her husband pretty busy place of course they make it that way with all the planes yeah this place would be this would be dead this would be a ghost town if they didn't have planes always landing and taking off i mean it's a good mall but i don't know that people would make the trip it's got a lot of baltimore specific stuff like i got i got crabs baltimore absolutely on their shirts um the home of the wire um yeah you know john waters themed things yeah sure this is this is all that i know of baltimore yeah that's about it i think orioles yep yep camden yards that's where they play baseball yep Yep. Yeah.

Don't have a football team. Don't. Oh, they don't. Baltimore Ravens. Yeah. Don't have a basketball team. No. Or how?

But maybe in the future. Sure. The one thing that I noticed when I last went to New York was that they have at the uh you know like the souvenir t-shirts are really very weird and one was uh it was like trump but then he was shirtless and had all these tattoos uh-huh who's that for what what demographic is that uh a trump Trump Tupac-esque kind of look. I don't know who he appeals to. At the best of times, unless our listeners like him, then

we like him too. We are completely... We have no backbone. This last one comes from Tom in Winnipeg. I just left work when I heard a guy who was walking on the sidewalk say to a cyclist who was biking past us in the bike lane, Papa Wheelie.

Hey, Papa Wheelie. It's the long weekend. Come on, give us a show. I thought you were going to say, it's the law. I was in a bar and a guy, two guys came in and one of them had a unicycle

with them. And I think that's the first time I've seen that. And, you know, hopefully, God willing, the last time. But I guess you can you know hopefully god willing the last time but you i guess you can't chain up a unicycle oh i don't know i don't know maybe i don't know how to chain up a bike well usually you have to go through the one of the bars on it so that somebody can just steal the frame or whatever but like a unicycle it's got no frame it's just got a stick you can just wrap it around

saran wrap it to a pole yarn bomb it but uh yeah when the guy came with the unicycle everybody was pretty bummed out really killed the vibe in addition you can't really pop a wheelie on you no no

in addition to over words that are written, we also accept your phone calls. If you want to call us, our phone number is 1-844-779-7631. That's one. SpyPod. A one. Like these people have. Oh, I'm excited. But we're not giving you that one right away.

No. You got to work for it. Hi, everybody. This is Logan from Vermont. I'm sitting in my car trying to do some work outside a library because I don't have any Wi-Fi. And a kid and his babysitter

walk by and I hear the kid go, but I thought kids weren't allowed to go in bars. And his babysitter just went, ugh. It's kids day. Yes. Yes. You're just not allowed to drink.

Yeah. You can eat as many maraschino cherries as you can handle. Whatever. Tiny onions. Egg in a water. Egg and vinegar. What are those things? Pickled egg.

Pickled egg. Yeah. I've only been to bars I've seen on TV in 1985. But just the, yeah, I don't think, when I was a kid, I remember like, Swish LA used to be like smoking and non-smoking. And I remember like walking through the smoking section to go use the bathroom and feeling like i shouldn't be allowed to walk through this this feels like a like a very adult place yeah it's like an aa meeting yeah um she said she was sitting in her car outside

the library to use their wi-fi why not go why not go i mean i get it yeah and i mean if you're comfortable in your car and you're exactly click clacking away why not um crank the tunes but the library an excellent source of wi-fi it's something your body needs anyway and you know what public toilets so. So yeah, not at all. It's like, uh, it's like a free Starbucks.

Hmm. And Starbucks really has become free Starbucks. I think that's become a thing. Yeah. It's, uh, yeah, it's,

it's instead of libraries, we have Starbucks. Well, if we vote for, uh, that guy who started Starbucks. That's right.

Just read a magazine at Starbucks. That's basically library. We're done with libraries. Everyone gets a Nora Jones CD. Cool. Next call. Hey, Dave and Graham and wonderfully beautiful guest. No.

I just had an overheard at the beach in Victoria, at Willow's Beach, and a little girl ran up to another little girl. Curl's pretty loud. A little girl ran up to another little girl and said, hey, Emma. Yeah? You know how I said,

you know how I was saying there's lots of fighting in your family before? All right, and I think it's as simple as lots of fighting in your family before? Alright, and I think it's as simple as that. Oh, yeah, see what I mean? She finished with see what I mean. Oh, that was not a good over here. I wish I could say it was a drug

trial, but, you know. Alright, happy Canada Day. Okay, but then, Papa Wheelie, we got a follow-up call. I'm just calling to clarify the previous message. The little girl says, hey Emma,

see what I mean when I said your family fights all the time? And then the other little girl just went, mm-hmm. It was real sad. Okay. Thanks. Love the show. Bye. Happy Canada Day.

Okay. I'll just hand the phone back to you so you can say goodbye. I'm less interested in the content of these overheards anymore. I just want people to not be good with the phone. be good with the phone that's um did you ever have that where you'd uh you'd be talking on the phone and one of your parents would be like just give me you're getting this wrong yeah well then the first call there was a crow that went oh and he went oh crow's pretty loud i live for this yeah yeah yeah okay we've we teased it enough yes here it comes here it comes so if you haven't listened should we play let's just quickly drop in the entire entirety of the no archie episode now go back to episode 590 the final overheard of that episode was four overheards from someone who couldn't quite get a story right about their co-worker.

That's right. And this is call number five. Hello again, Dave Graham and good old guests. This is Cormac out of Abington, Pennsylvania, here to give you the final version, the final draft of my story. So we all know what happens, but just to go over it uh i'm at work i'm in the back station uh there's a guy named abdul who says problematic things um one of the things he was saying uh was he was calling one of my co-workers baby one of my female co-workers and she was going abdul you can't call me that and he goes oh baby i'm sorry baby like i'm a babe and another co-worker classic duel being sexist and i made a joke and i said please it's not sexism anymore it's the 21st century it's misogyny now and in the back i hear abdul go oh massage was that worth it yeah yeah yeah off i go that was good

really painted a portrait uh it's a it's a workplace sitcom you've got to go in there that was worth it yeah but it was worth it even before you finished it off yeah yeah yeah because as i mentioned i don't care what the overheard is. I want people to drop the phone in the toilet. I want people to start an overheard, drop the phone on the ground, kick it by accident. Under chip display. Under chip display.

And I get four minutes of chip crinkling as I hear them try to get it back. I want a bird to fly away with your phone. Make a nest with it. Yeah. And I do like getting the details of where the tapestry. I was in the car outside. Why were you in the car? Because you were using the Wi-Fi from the library.

Details are important so thanks everyone yeah yeah normally we do a guest free episode on our 100th but i guess with episode 600 coming up soon we probably will have to have a guest yeah we'll surprise them yeah yeah we will we'll show up at someone's work and make them be our guest yeah like uh like radio stations used to do like we'll show up at your work and you have a barbecue or something and you're like i don't know i'm barely holding on to this job as it is yeah i listen to the radio really loud at work everybody hates it but i feel like that was the thing when i was growing up is like we'll show up at your place I listen to the radio really loud at work.

Not as a promotion for them, but employee yeah kevin you want to say something on mike uh i'm kind of busy here with these uh mufflers yeah um and uh well i think that brings us to the end of the episode i agree yeah and i don't think anyone will like to hear us promote any more shows so we won't do any.

We hope everyone's having a great summer. We hope July was great for you and August will be even better. Yeah, and you know what? Earlier I said it's too late to buy a bathing suit. You know what? If you're still on the fence about buying one, it's not too late. They still have them for sale.

You might, you might actually get a good deal because summer's all halfway done. Might get a last year suit. Yeah. Everybody will know, but, uh, you probably need one anyway, because you burned through it with your hot groin.
