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 595 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name's Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who's footloose and kid-free this week, Mr. Dave Shovka. Yeah, we are childless. Our children have been sent away to sort of, I guess, like etiquette school. They're walking with books on their heads. Whatever you do with, whenever you would send your children away.

Yeah, they're a bunch of Matildas. Yes. Yes. They're with grandma and grandpa. Yeah. Fun. Fun for them. Having fun on the island.

I don't know if there's a week's worth of fun for them. They're usually a little burned out. Like, uh, last time they, Mario thought she had been there for so long she thought she was gonna live there forever. But, you know, she hasn't caught up on the

last season of Game of Thrones, so that'll take that'll eat up some time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we're gonna join them after they've been there for a week and spend like four more days there. So I think that might be pushing it. But there's, I don't know, there's things to do. Water? A lake?

It's an island, so it's surrounded by water everywhere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She'll probably be jet skiing by the time you get there. Aw, they grow up so fast. Uh, our guest today, a returning guest to the podcast, a very funny comedian. Returning champion. Yeah, a returning champion, absolutely. Here to defend his title.

Uh, he is a member of the Sunday Service, which performs each and every Sunday at the Fox Cabaret. It's Taz Van Rassel. Hello. Hello. One of the founding members. That's right. That Cabaret. It's Taz Van Rassel. Hello. Hello. One of the founding members. That's right. That's true. Let's get that straight.

You are on the Mount Rushmore of Sunday's campus. Yeah, 14 years ago. If you leave. I'm hoping a dream in a vegan restaurant. If you leave, they can't go on. Is there a protocol for if you or Ryan die? Ghost protocol. Is it called a ghost protocol?

I don't know That was impossible Oh I see I see No there's no protocol We're all Partners No no

No no What's the word When you leave And no one cares Dispensable Yeah dispensable Yeah Emmett

Yeah dispensable He's gone What was the vegan restaurant That was Wink. It was called the Wink. Wink. Yeah, Alistair owned that. Right.

And the whole building. I lived on the second floor. Alistair lived on the third. And the vegan restaurant and Sunday service birthplace was on the floor. Wow. The garden suite, if you will. How long were you there before you moved to, was the Cosmic Zoo, but it started out as A year.

Like one year exactly. And then the place went under. Okay. And then we moved to the Hennessy. The Hennessy. Yes. That's right. That was the original title.

Well, before that, it was Stars on Broadway. Right. Way back. This is a little bit of Vancouver restaurant history. It was a karaoke lounge, right? We went there once because I was fascinated by this one block that had three or four there was uh like businesses that had stars in the names of it there was stars on broadway which is uh i guess a karaoke bar makes sense yeah uh there was reno's shoes for the stars

and there was like star nameails. Five Star Nails. The Star District. Yeah. Do you want to get to know us? Oh, yeah. Now it's the Weed District. Do you want to get to know us? Yeah. Do you want me to talk?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Say things like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything's the Weed District now. Or the Vape district. If you've got an abandoned storefront, all you have to do is just come up with a vape pun. The big one on that block is Herbs R Us.

That's the R in everything. That's what Toys R Us are. Before it was weed and vape stores everywhere, it was ink cartridge refilling. Yep. Oh, yeah. That's right. And then maybe before that, it was like discount DVD stores.

You could go and buy CDs and DVDs for really cheap. These were the easy to set up businesses. And before that, just green grocers, something that was helpful. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, at the beginning of it all, it was stores that people needed. But now, oh no, I think people need escape rooms. That's true. We went to an escape room on, speaking of my week, we went to an escape room on Tuesday.

Was that your first? No, no, no. Are you an enthusiast? I'm an escapist. I like it. Okay. Not often, like once a year. What level of difficulty? This was a level three out of five. Okay. Not often, like once a year. What level of difficulty?

This was a level three out of five. Okay. Who determines that? Is there like a council? Exit Broadway. Do they have different rooms at different levels? Oh, okay. They do.

We didn't do Avalanche, which is a five. Okay. What was this one? I have done the Dracula one, though, and that was quite hard. We did not escape. Was that a four or a five? I think it was a four. Okay. This one was good. It was Arc one? I have done the Dracula one, though, and that was quite hard. We did not escape. Was that a four or a five? I think it was a four. Okay.

This one was good. It was Arcade Frenzy. Okay. So it was kind of like what Aaron described it as, kind of like if you asked, hey, do you know how to paint? Can you do it really fast and make it look shitty? That's what the whole thing looks like. Okay.

Half-assed, sort of, and you can't always tell. Like, is this the start of a maze? But the paint is bleeding through and, like, little puzzles and stuff, so you can't totally tell. One of our lasers was broken. You had lasers?

Yeah. So tell me about this room. What was the puzzle? I mean, I can't reveal that. Okay. I already said the name of the puzzle? I can't reveal that. Okay. I already said the name of the business. I'm a fool. How many do you want us to go back and bleep?

Yeah, can you take that out? But like really dramatically, like an old one, like a... Okay, I mean... Like I said, like a really bad sex word on a game show back in the 70s. How many people were in your group? Four. Myself, Aaron, Ryan, and Mark. You know them.

They've been on the show. They've all been on the show. Did they say their last names? No, we'll bleep them. Okay, cool. The... What made you decide to go to an escape room? Just free time? Just fun, team building.

I always wanted to go and then everyone agreed. So I was like, okay, I'll organize it. Nice. I've only been to one once and we solved it really quick. But I don't know if it was like a super easy. You didn't know the ranking? Yeah. On the international scale?

On the international escape room scale. Yeah. Did it have a Michelin star? Yeah, I was in the Gordon Ramsay escape room. It was mostly just a guy in a wig yelling at me. Of all the famous chefs, who do you think is good? They're all good, but who do you think? that like who do you think is good are they they're all good but who do you think good people but no good chefs like you see gordon gordon ramsay's maybe the most famous chef in the world yeah is his would you want to eat his food more than like jamie

oliver or i probably want to eat jamie oliver's food yeah seems like a good person or like wolfgang puck uh he's probably really good he seems seems like... Listen to Sean Devlin's new album coming out. He's got a whole thing about how he's not. Oh, really? Yeah. Not a good person?

Or a good chef. A good chef. Oh, okay. Good food. I don't know. He's probably a bad person. I'll stand by that. All right.

Wolfgang Puck. Garbage. Garbage person. I mean his airport pizza restaurant. Not very good. Spoiler. This is a whole... This his airport pizza restaurant, not very good. Spoiler. This is a whole shot down the table.

Sorry. You can't judge a chef by his airport restaurant. It's an unfair measure. What about the local chefs, like Feeney? Feeney is, I feel like... Have you been to those? I've never been to any of his. No, well, no, but he is kind of, he's risen the ranks of being a local chef and now he's

just like a mercenary. Right. Like he'll be, I'm the head chef at White Spot now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he travels around the country. He does a commercial. Sponsorship deals. Yeah.

Yeah. What about Vige? I don't know. I've never been there. It's pretty good. It's expensive. Yeah. Yeah. What about Vige? I don't know. I've never been there. It's pretty good. It's expensive. Yeah. It's not as expensive

as like a very, like, it's not as expensive as any other super famous local restaurant. Right. Like Tojo's or whatever.

I've had his frozen food. Yeah, I've had Vige's frozen food. That's okay. Put all of it in a bag. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry for everyone listeningidge's frozen food. That's okay. Put all of it in a bag. Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry for everyone listening. We'll bleep all the names of the local businesses and chefs. I used to work for Thomas Haas.

Who's that? He's a very, not very famous pastry chef, apparently. Okay. A chocolatier. Ooh.

Not to be confused with Tommy Haas, the German tennis player. That's who I was thinking. And we're Haas, the German tennis player. That's who I was thinking of. And we're going to start the show any minute. Oh, this isn't the show? What did you do when you worked for Pastry Chef?

Were you just working in the front? I was a manager. He was a supplier, actually. Okay. So I didn't actually work with him. Was this when you worked at Senses? Yes. When I worked at Senses.

You don't have to bleep that. Went under because of me, probably. Why? What did you do? Nothing. It just just no one wanted fancy chocolate anymore i guess that's true people just want to wait he branched off and started his own so we were selling it while he had his own tonic sauce like actual oh yeah i think they were upset or something but i didn't care yeah i would get in an argument with him every week, too, which was very funny. For me, especially. I wasn't arguing. He would just yell at me.

He was German. Very, very passionate chef. He was like, why are you doing this to me, Taz? I don't know what I'm doing. Also, you're not my boss. And then he would hang up on me. And then the next week, he's like, Taz, how are you? Great to see you. Great to see taz how are you great to see

you great to see you why are you doing this to me yeah um what were you doing to him i don't remember okay i think not caring yeah not being a foodie selling his chocolate at a half price i wasn't being passionate is what what it was he wanted passion and I couldn't fake it. Yeah. It's hard to be. But that's such a like if like the If the actor can't fake passion? No, I just mean like

you don't work for him you work for a store that sells his thing. It's like if Eminem was called up Yeah. Walmart and was like talking to the cashier.

You care about this? I mean technically I was in management, but still, yeah, there was no... That's why I was like, no. Yeah.

Where's the love, Taz? The, uh... Those are all the famous chefs I can think of. I mean, there's Guy Fieri. And... Why can't I think of any women chefs? Oh, the Giada De Laurentiis.

There we go. How about the salt, fat, sugar lady on Netflix? Oh. I don't know. I don't know her name. I watch those. Oil is one of them. Is it olive oil from Popeye's?

Salt, fat, sugar, oil. There's like four episodes, and it's all about those main ingredients. Yeah, yeah. I've seen it on Netflix. I haven't watched that, but I've seen it in my going through, like, I just look at Netflix these days and I'm just... Just to browse. I have no motivation. Where's my motivation? Yeah.

Well, like, are there... Because I feel like everybody's getting a different thing that's promoted to different uh algorithm or whatever so like i don't know i don't know what i watched to get the yeah yeah yeah i don't know what who netflix thinks i am yeah but like for sure netflix is like thinks i'm way into aziz Ansari. But I did,

I discovered a show that was pretty good on Netflix called last chance you. And that's not something I thought I would ever watch. It's about football. It's about football. It's like kids. It's a university football. Yeah. Kids. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Anything, anything younger than you? I'm 41. You kids keep me young. So you beat the escape room. Congratulations.

We did. We did. Aaron was on time watch. He mostly stands there in the corner quite quiet. 22 minutes. He really clammed up. He solved a couple of things. How many things are there to solve

oh like 18 or something in 22 minutes or in 45 minutes maybe i'm i'm exaggerating maybe it's 12 things yeah like little puzzles yeah little puzzles is there no little puzzles that lead to like bigger puzzles right like a door it's usually a door code at the end so if you took away all the art it's just literally you're just going through security doors. Like no black lights or anything. It's a series of three rooms with doors, which I guess is an escape room. Yeah.

The one I did, it was like, there was a clock and it opened and there was a sliding shelf. Yeah, we had all that too. But if you took all that away, it would be a room. I don't know why I said that. You took all my podcast stuff out of here. Just be a fucking room guy. Yeah, we had all that too, but if we took all that away, it would be a room. I don't know why I said that. If you took all my podcast stuff out of here, just be a fucking room guy. Yeah, that's true.

I guess so. That is true. Except that there's no ceiling here. Let's see if you can escape out of here. It's raining. The problem with the escape room is it's like 45 minutes, and then what do you do? Then that's the night? We do it in the daytime.

Oh, nice. Went for lunch. Yeah, usually attach it to a meal. Yeah. Work it into your work day. We went to Cactus Club happy hour.

It's happening, so we went there. This is fun. Yeah, it was a nice day. It was a fun day. It's the most happy I've ever seen Ryan Beal. Really?

Yeah. I'm worried about it. And I was at his wedding. That quickly led to divorce, so. Well, you know, these things happen, right? Years ago. Years ago. I was the best man.

Yeah? Yeah. How many times have you been a best man? Three, two. Really? Yeah. Who else? All done.

My godfather. Ah. Hmm. Nice. Did he make you an offer you couldn't refuse? Kind of. No one else would

sort of do it and it was like when the internet first was getting taken off and especially internet dating and he met this woman

online and I think a lot of the family was like, this is unbelievable. Yeah. Like they, I don't know, it was a weird thing. The pictures would take so long to load, this is unbelievable. Yeah. Like, I don't know. It was a weird thing.

The pictures would take so long to load back in those days. Yeah, that's why people were upset. I think there was some drama involved as well. And I was like, yeah, I'll be the best man. I'm 21. Yeah. So I went down to Fresno. Just a kid.

Gave a speech. And it was fun. Cool. Yeah. Did you get a prize for being the best man? Yeah, I got a pocket watch nice it was great it was a real like classic wedding like we had rented tuxes all that i went to a barber and got like a shave beforehand like it was all groomsmen did a thing not like a bachelor party i guess i was supposed to be in charge of that i didn't do it yeah there was no way to drop the ball best man yeah i don't know i was like his kid you're like i found the skankiest stripper to take my godfather

have you been the best man no no me neither uh maybe my brother didn't really get uh married he got me like had three like smaller weddings all to the same woman we got married in vietnam and i wasn't like that was the real wedding destination wedding uh well she's vietnamese and it was still a destination for you yeah destination for me but it wasn't like you know we all went to mexico or right but um one of those weddings could have been in mexico there were three but then uh yeah i wasn't gonna to organize a bachelor party in Vietnam. Yeah. Did you organize a bachelor party for Ryan's?

Yes. Yeah. We went to the casino. Yeah, we went to the casino, like River Edgemont, Edge River. You know, the one by the stadium yeah yeah there anymore it's not there anymore yeah edgewater edgewater yeah that's pretty close yeah we went there and like gambled in suits and then we went to denny's there was like a and then we set up a weird uh like we set up a microphone and a speaker on my balcony with the idea that we were going to do a roast. But then everyone was too meek and polite.

Hey, Ryan, really happy for you, man. No one roasted him and no one prepared anything. So it was just a nice little time. So you gambled in suits. Is that not there anymore? No one prepared anything, so it was just a nice little time. So you gambled in suits. Is that not there anymore? I don't know. It's another casino that Drake hates now.

Oh, that's that. Oh, okay. Oh, is it the casino that wouldn't allow Drake? Wouldn't allow him to, inside scoop, wouldn't allow him to bet lots of money without checking in first in first oh i see i think like most casinos yeah like because it like the casino was worried about them though no i think they just have a they just have a standard like if you're gonna bet like five hundred thousand dollars or something we need to endorse that first or i don't know right yeah it Sounds like a lot of fun.

But his fans really, really stripped him apart. Go on their Instagram. It's very funny. Why you hate Drake? This is constant. You can't do this.

They should just lean into that. That should be their whole ad campaign. We're the casino that hates Drake. Did you ever go to that casino?

They had shows there. They had shows there. And I did shows in there. The old one? Like the Punchlines one? No. It was in Edgewater. And it was like on the second floor.

There was like a little showroom. Yeah. And I did shows in there. Near the baccarat table? Maybe. Yeah. It was definitely near some kind of... Confusing game.

Yeah, confusing game. I just remember going, walking through the casino and seeing all these serious, angry-looking people gambling. Yeah. And being like, I want to get out of here. And then going and doing the show and thinking, I want to get out of here. Yeah, and I remember you couldn't get food in the showroom. You had to go down to like the weird

cafeteria area. Right. They would give you a voucher or whatever. Even though it's on the water there's no windows, right? No, yeah. It was weird.

It was, I mean, it's probably still weird. All casinos are pretty weird. Yeah, they're bad places. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't know

why people go to them. You know, like they're advertised as a fun night out. Yeah. Vice. Vice, yeah. I mean, I don't know why people go to them. You know, like, they're advertised as a fun night out. Yeah. Vice. Vice, sure. And I think the idea of fun. Yeah, like, the ads make it seem like a lot of fun. I had fun, because that's a vice I don't have.

So I gambled a bit, $120. Like, that was fun. Let's get out of here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone else is on the table. Like, what are you doing? But luckily, i just had the ability to walk away yeah you wanted to go you wanted to hit that denny's yeah yeah i understand um delicious open 24 yeah yeah it's also not there anymore denny's not there on broadway. Really? Yeah. Oh, it moved down. It moved down.

Well, that other one, the Moxie's Denny's. Yeah. The Fancy Denny's, that's been there. So they just amalgamated. Huh. Fancy Denny's. Some more local news for your listeners. Yeah, I know. It's such a bummer seeing all these local businesses go under.

Like Denny's. There's just no room for the little guy. Yeah. Denny. It's weird. Like, I don't know. Like, how did Denny's become the national breakfast? Yeah.

The diner chain. Yeah. It was America first, right? Yeah. Yeah. But, like, why that chain? Why not Perkins? Remember Perkins?

No. Why not Humpty's? Oh, yeah, Humpty's. Yeah. Perkins and Humpty's were a real Alberta staple. Oh. Yeah. Same thing.

What's the one with the mascot called Waddy? It's on the road when you're driving through, like, to Alberta. I don't know. Look, it's the the road when you're driving through like to Alberta. I don't know. Like, it's a waddy. And then what is he? Is he just a wad? Like a wad.

How do you spell it? W-A-D-D-Y? I think. I could be making this up. Maybe I had a dream. I think it's real though. It's like ABC Family Restaurant like style.

Right. Like very specific to like the border of Alberta and British Columbia. Oh, is it like Phil's or something like very specific to like the the border of alberta and british columbia oh is it like phil's or something like that like that yeah yeah there is it's weird when you're like driving driving through an area that you don't live and then there's just a chain like in manitoba it's like salisbury House. Like everywhere you go, it's just like, stop into Salisbury House. You know, the chain that you know.

Yeah. And here it's White Spot. Yeah, exactly. Oh, yeah. No one knows White Spot anywhere else. It used to be, was Beano's a chain? Were there more than one Beano's? I don't know.

I love Beano's. What was Beano's? Beano's, I think there's still one at Broadway. Goddamn. Beano's on Broadway. And it was just a diner. We're really pushing a lot of Broadway stuff today. It's good.

It's a major artery. Yeah. When your listeners come here, then they have places to go look at. Go see, yeah, go see The Last Beanos. Yeah. What a boring tour. I'm so sorry. We're not setting you up for success.

Here's a plug. Look out for me on Netflix. And I can't even find what it's called because it's not Cinderella Christmas because that's already taken. It's something else. It's like Christmas Wish Cinderella. Oh, okay. But it's a Cinderella one that's coming out. Is it made for TV?

It's made for Netflix. Like a Hallmark style thing? Yes, Hallmark style. And what are you in that? Oh, a i'm a stuffy assistant yes and i'm i'm very very full of myself are you a stuffy assistant to a bad guy or no essentially the king okay but it's modern day so he's a ceo that's good writing yeah it's good stuff it's great i got to work with a dog in a wheelie on wheels oh oh cool yeah he didn't need them he was just acting an acting dog yeah they just put his well they put his legs on the wheels and i guess he couldn't get out i don't know if that's acting i mean that's that's how they do it with actors. Yeah. Put you on roller skates, push you into the scene.

Yeah. That's his motivation. He had to have a talking scene where he would talk. The dog? Yeah. His dog on wheels? The dog on wheels had to talk. And for some reason, they did it in the room.

They didn't do it in post. Get some peanut butter. Well, everyone was out. It was chicken, bits of chicken. Okay. And you get a piece of chicken. You go, talk. Well, everyone was out. It was chicken. Bits of chicken. Okay. You get a piece of chicken. Talk. Talk.

Talk, Bruno. I think his name was Bruno. I forget. We'll bleep it. Yeah. Yeah. Please do. Woof, woof.

And he had to talk. And he would sometimes do good. He would bark like you just did. It was great. That's because Dave thought he was getting some chicken. Yeah. That was me bleeping it. You just do this weird whimper, like.

That was him really trying to talk. Yeah, and he was like trying. He'd still get food. Because he was doing it. And we're all standing there trying not to laugh, the whole crew. And the dog was like, just let him know he did a good job. He's doing great, buddy. Let's try it again.

What a weird life to be the trainer of an acting dog. Yeah, if he had to talk, I could have written, punched up some lines for him. Yeah. I would have had him say, these doggone wheels. No, he didn't go off script. He was pretty good. Those trainers are amazing

and they're constantly putting food like loose meat in actors' pockets. Oh. That's kind of one of their main deal and standing behind the actor and like Hello! Hello! They're always giving me I've worked with animals a couple times

they give you just this is a paste, a meat paste just keep it in between your fingertips okay okay and then the dog will wander up to you okay i'm just going to smear some peanut butter on your genital yeah basically and now don't worry there's not a surprise party being planned for you. Isn't that the second part of that story? I mean, oh yeah, someone jumped in. Yeah. Is that a street joke? No, it's an urban legend.

Or like a say anything from YM magazine. Oh, yeah, yeah. Not say anything. What is it called? They call it say anything. Really? When you wrote in with your embarrassing stories why would say anything right well i my dog was going to town

and then my crush saw me oh boy they used to read those They were great Yeah they were good Yeah There's a lot of Tamphans in the pool Yeah Yeah yeah yeah The big one

or is that an urban legend as well? That they couldn't... Use the word chicken? Use the word chicken. No, the actual reason is Kentucky trademarked the name Kentucky because of the Kentucky Derby. And KFC was like, we're not paying money to use... Oh, like the state of Kentucky? Yeah, the state of Kentucky trademarked the word Kentucky.

I'm glad I got that right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. trademarked the word Kentucky. I'm glad I got that right. A lot of local locations I'm on. You know who trademarked something? I'm trying to find out what YM stands for now. Well, we can talk about it in a bit, but Kanye West is trying to trademark

Sunday Service. Really? Yeah. Have you received any cease and desist? No, we have not. We're hoping he wants to buy our Twitter account, Sunday Service Improv. Why? What is his claim to owning Sunday Service?

It's like his side project that he did at Coachella this year. He's starting a religion. It's a large side project that he did at Coachella this year. He's starting a religion. It's a large cult in Mauve. Yeah, it's a Mauve cult. Yeah, it's a Mauve cult. But it's kind of like gospel, but his songs. His songs in a gospel thing. I watched it.

It was pretty good. Did you watch Coachella on YouTube this year? I watched that through a weird fisheye pinhole camera. The Kanye West stuff on a hill. It all happened on a hill. You should watch it. I will watch it. I'm interested in...

It's on a grassy knoll beside Coachella, kind of. Okay. Don't they make other kind of knolls? I only hear about the grassy ones. Yeah, that's true. The first gnoll. Gnoll Gallagher. Yeah, gnoll Gallagher.

He was there. Yeah, Coachella is still a thing people go to, yeah. I think so. Still a going concern. I guess, yeah. For the rich and the uber-rich. I watched it all on YouTube. And the dusty. For the dusty. Lastenbury. Oh yeah, is everything streaming now? Yeah, itber rich. I watch it all on YouTube. And the dusty. For the dusty. Lastenbury.

Where was the big festival? Pemberton was. Oh, okay. Anything outside of Vancouver, I get confused.

I went to Pemberton once, and it was really dusty, and Coldplay was very polite. That's all I remember. They were very polite to the audience? Yeah, they were very polite, and everyone sang along, and I was like, why is everyone ruining this by singing? Oh, because they asked them to, nicely. Yeah, they were very polite boys.

Very nice. I see. Coldplay strikes me as one of the more polite. Jay-Z was nice, too. You say this like you met them. Yeah, I feel like I did. Mostly, I just stood in a crowd of people while everyone shouted their lyrics at them.

Fun. I sound like an old man, but I don't enjoy that at concerts where everyone's like, I know the words and I can ruin the song! That's the concert experience. And put up a cell phone in front of everyone.

Yeah, it's watching it through a tiny little screen. I went to the Reading Festival in England once and I had that experience, but I was more confused why, how does everyone know the words to these pulp songs? Right. It's like a religion over there.

Yeah. Also, Jarvis Cocker runs a radio show called Sunday Service. Yeah. But like Kanye's got an uphill battle because Sunday Service is the name of every church's Sunday service. Yeah. It's like when Paris Hilton tried to copyright, that's hot. It's like, well, that's just the thing people say when something is hot. You can't trademark.

Didn't Donald Trump try to do your fire? Yeah. But like what, I guess. Who decides this? But whoever's in charge of copyright and trademark. You're fired? You're fired. Yeah. But like what, I guess. Who decides this? But whoever's in charge of copyright and trademark, you know. Underground cabal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I guess. I mean, like if you hit on the right, you know, the right phrase that people want to wear on t-shirts and stuff. I don't know. What's your catchphrase you're going to patent? The Sunday service. Oh, fuck. Yeah, yeah.

If Kanye doesn't get it, I'm going to try and get it for my cult. Dave, what's your catchphrase? Stop podcasting yourself. There you go. And Taz, yours? Sunday service, I guess. But we put a the in it. There you go.

It's different. And you have that Twitter account, Sunday service improv. Yeah we put a the in it There you go And you have that Twitter account Sunday service improv Yeah I think so I remember the Vancouver Comedy Fest used to own Comedyfest.com maybe they still do Comedyfest.com That's pretty good What's a buyout on stuff like that

What's a buyout Like you mean like What do people companies pay for like twitter accounts i don't know because like donald trump doesn't have his twitter account well i i forget i was uh a few years ago when i was working uh on a podcast about work culture it's about tech and stuff. Again, sounds like a lie. Yeah, but we did a story about how Ashton Kutcher,

like, is a tech investor in so many things. And then afterwards, I was like, but he doesn't own AshtonKutcher.com. Oh, that's right. Did you make an offer? I made an offer on Ashton Kutcher, because the company that owns AshtonKutcher.com, I was like, a hundred bucks. Yeah.

I sent them an offer of a hundred bucks. And they said, we typically get offers of, and I was like, five figures. Right. We can sell you Wilderville, Valderrama.com for a hundred dollars. But then I was like, I didn't, I never wrote back. I was just interested in what they in what their counter offer was. Right. And then they kept emailing me.

You know what? We're flexible. I guess they don't get many offers. They talk themselves down to $100. I don't think people, like, I don't think, I think people use Google to find whatever. They don't. Yeah. You don't need to own TazVanRassel.com

Unless But I do But if somebody buys it and then just puts like a You know a porno on it Yeah Then you're like Unless you're in the porno business But I think the average person

Doesn't like I want to find out more about Graham Clark I'll go to GrahamClark Graham Clark I'll go to grahamclark.com they'll go it's true I remember for a while Jim Carrey had a website and it was insane like it was this like super

high end animated website and I was like but why he's Jim Carrey nobody's like I was thinking about hiring Jim Carrey. Let's check him. You know what I mean? Did he design it

and do it in character? He went and became a designer of websites. Yeah, he was researching for a role. A website designer who's obsessed with the number 23.

I think it's two former Canadian football players who combine their last names. There's nothing appetizing about the name Spalumbo's. Is it on their equivalent of Broadway? Yes, it's on Broadway in Calgary. What's theirs called? Grand Trail Road?

McLeod. McLeod Trail. We just got back from Montreal. Yeah. I'd never been to Just for Laughs before. No. I remember once when I was an up-and-coming comedian, someone

was giving me advice, and they're like when you go to just relax and you will that's very nice i but i think this person thought as a stand-up not as someone who gave up stand-up name names name names uh no uh it was a nice person who was helping me yeah why wouldn't you name them then? Well, because they were so wrong. Oh. But in a nice way. Yeah. I'll ask you after. I really want to know.

Right? There's always... We were up against the award show. Yeah. And we still got a great crowd. Is that popular? Do people like award shows? I mean, they want to see because there's's like a famous-os will show up.

You know, it was very spiritual and erotic. Nice. Erotic, yeah. And fulfilling. It was very hot. I walked everywhere and got it got everywhere i like i would walk like 45 minutes to all the places i wanted to walk and uh it was very hot and i would be like oh this isn't too hot but just when i stopped walking that's when i would just sweat everywhere

yeah so like i'd be like oh i'm not gonna be too sweaty when I get there. But the moment I sat down to eat. Yeah, that's when your body catches up. Yeah. It's a bad climate everywhere that's not Vancouver. Too hot. And even right now, it's too hot in Vancouver. Today's not bad. We've had a pretty good summer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it was really good. I really enjoyed the food there. I enjoyed the festival, too. You were just watching TV in your hotel room. I was. That's when I realized I've come to an impasse with Netflix.

There's really nothing there for me. It's also nice to have a nice hotel room. It is nice to have quiet. Yeah. A nice air-conditioned hotel room and the quiet and you can watch whatever you want. There were other parties, but there were no invitations, were there? They were just like, there were other parties, but there were no invitations, were there? Uh, they were just like, you just went. Yeah, but no one was like, hey Dave, there's this party over here.

Give me your card. Nobody has cards anymore. What are you even, send me a Venmo. Let me look at your LinkedIn. Send me money. Yeah. When I got there, when I got to the party the first night, I was like, oh, okay, I'll just do a lap and see if I recognize anyone. And I saw Erica Sigurdsson.

Yeah. But I was like, I'll keep doing a lap. She didn't see me. I'll talk to her when I'm done my lap. Yeah. And then she was gone. Oh, no, you missed your chance. Okay, I'll do another lap.

See if I know anyone else. You probably saw some people that were famous. I saw Howie Mandel. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Pretty famous. Very cool. I don't up to him.

America's got talent. And then I did like four more laps and didn't recognize anyone. I was like, okay, one more lap and then I'm going home.

And then I recognized people. You got some exercise. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, you got your steps in. What you gonna need after all that

poutine and smoke meat? Did your hotel room have a scale? I don't think. Oh, no, wait. I did deal some drugs that weekend. So, yes, it did have a nice scale. When I was checking in, the guy who checked me in, Yuri, had all this.

Name and name. Yeah. I'll believe it. Was very quiet, but he had all this stuff he wanted me to do. He's like, okay, so sorry about this. There's been a mix-up we're very full so we actually have to upgrade you to a different room and i was like oh okay what was with the story and he's like ah i wanted it to be a surprise yeah and he wanted me to and then he was like okay you're ready to go but first do you want to sign up for hilton rewards points and i was like no i don't are you sure because if you just

sign up you can get 2 000 points like i don't know i don't know i don't want any okay you don't are you sure you don't yeah essentially you didn't pay for that so you're not going to get the points well i think you do like you get frequent flyer points if someone else buys your ticket. And then I said no, and he was incredulous. And then he was like, okay, well, here's what we do here. We have a breakfast. We have a delicious breakfast, and you can get a discount on it if you buy it now. Do you want to do that?

And I was like, oh, great. No, no, I don't. I was trying to be as polite as possible. He just upgraded you. He did you a favor. Yeah. And then I got to my room. It was the regular size of a regular room with a couch as well.

Oh, that's a sweet. Yeah, that's a sweet if you get a lounge on a couch. And a scale in the bathroom. You can raise a family in there. And I put on five pounds while I was there. Oh, congratulations. Poutine. Poutine.

Hot meat. Someone brought us... Or brought me these Trader Joe's gummies that I talk about sometimes. Oh, yeah, yeah. I ate them all. Oh, like fans bring you things yeah that's nice yeah they're sweet it is nice yeah we should start saying we want things yeah do it it's too local we want something from shoppers from bino's bring me a muffin from bino's um what's going on with you uh i went and saw uh uh once upon a time in hollywood ah at uh

at a theater that they were only offering it in like either the vip theater or in 3d not 3d but like sound some kind of sound thing rumble seat, so I've never sat in one of those before. They made those for that movie? Yeah, it was weird. And I was like, I was sitting in it. It's so uncomfortable. And I was like, okay, I'm going to crank it all the way up during the trailers. It's insane.

It's insane. I don't understand why anybody would want, because it just jolts you. It moves your bowels they do if you're trying to conceive a child and you're having trouble they make you sit in one of those um i saw deadpool in one of those okay and that was first and last yeah i didn't understand why that movie of all movies because it's really really not a rumble seat type of film. And also, I don't understand why those exist at all. There's cars in it.

There's cars. There's a lot of driving in it. So that's most of the rumble. It makes sense. Because as I recall, it's constantly going. Yeah. Oh, they're driving in a car. Like your seat has to rumble even though it's not

like a car chase where you're like shaking side to side oh yeah and then bubbles go in the theater and they shoot a spray of water in your face uh yeah you know when brad pitt took his shirt off it just suddenly got very warm. Your seat got wet. It just made you feel like, oh, hey, something special's happening here. I didn't get used to this. And so the movie is three hours long. Three hours and change.

With trailers. With trailers. And at the end of the movie during the credits uh you know there's like one credit where it's kind of all his utility people that he uses all the time and tim roth is in it and then it says next to his name cut so he's cut out of the movie and i was like he must have like three hours you couldn't have squeezed in my scene? That scene we shot? Why do you post that?

Yeah. Wasn't there like a viral video of like or maybe it was like a featurette that was on one of the movies of whenever he always gets actors to say hello to his

editor Quentin Tarantino does like he films them saying hello at the beginning of the take they'll be like hi Helen or whatever I think she passed away though maybe that's why the movie was so long they didn't have an editor

he's just in there up to his neck in film like what do i i don't know how to cut i guess i'll just put this whole fucking scene here um i i enjoyed it but it was uh yeah it's three hours yeah that's a long time to be sitting in a rumble scene it's true it's playing at a local movie theater and it starts at 10 45 oh jesus oh boy you'd be out by like two in the morning i'd be out by 10 46 yeah there you go um cold and he uh quentin tantino really found the perfect era to have a lot of people with their shoes off this is the 60s was like oh yeah it's like right in the pocket of like is there like a foot scene

a foot scene is that a fetish is he yeah yeah yeah i didn't know that oh watch like watch this once upon a time in every movie is there yep yeah uma thurman's feet definitely that yeah wiggle my toes but in that's kill bill but also in uh well fiction her feeder really yeah i never thought about it but this movie it's like i've never read the think tanks anytime he's on a plane and they're the pilot says we'll be flying to 30 000 feet he gets a bonus uh but yeah there's man there's feet feet Everywhere in this movie It's Like you think At a certain point He would

Like try to Work against it Yeah Like Well people know About my weird fetish Nope He's going full

He's leaning All the way in I guess He's the tricks Of the director world Who's Trey Yeah You can bleep that out later

Tess is really Name a name Oh yes Who tricked people into showing their feet for videos i don't i don't know much about it yeah i remember that he was like uh hey i want to buy you an xbox yeah it was like xboxes and like send me your feed and people like okay pat bircher talks about it openly so no i think it was a lot of people do a pretty publicized thing in the community. Yeah, again, local reference. Go check him out on Broadway. To Toronto.

Yeah, Beano's. I saw that movie advertised as Quentin Tarantino's ninth movie. Yeah. Like, I don't know why. Who cares? I think because he's always said that he would make 10. Oh. And then he would...

And I looked it up, and he's made 10. Right. Not counting his cameo in Muppet Treasure Island. Is that a real thing? I think so. Oh, cool. When I worked at Senses, I had to put together a care package for him. He was staying at a hotel.

Ah. Anyways. Chocolate in the shape of a foot. And I was trying to figure out why they're calling this his ninth when it's his tenth. But I guess, at first I thought he doesn't count Death Proof. Right. Yeah. But now I think it's because Kill Bill is all supposed to be one movie.

Yeah. Which would have been it's because Kill Bill is all supposed to be one movie. Yeah. Which would have been like a five hour film. I'm only going to make 10 movies, but they're going to be so long. And Death Proof doesn't count? I think Death Proof counts, but Kill Bill is one movie instead of two. Yeah. So he's got. One more to go.

One more. So he says, you know, but he seems to be having a lot of fun. So why stop You know And the other thing Does he have a cameo in it No no no there's no No Quentin Tarantino

Cameo There's a lot of familiar faces I don't know how to fun Did he endanger anyone in it Maybe He endangered Uma Thurman Yeah that's right your faces. I don't know how to fun. Did he endanger anyone in it? Maybe. It's possible. He endangered Uma Thurman. Yeah, that's right.

Uma Thurman's daughter's in it, so obviously they patched up that. With money? Yeah, I mean, hey, money fixes everything. Is Uma Thurman's daughter... Does she show her feet? No, no. She should take her shoes off? He's a one foot man.

She's in the latest season of Stranger Things. Ah. Yeah. Who is she? She's the one that worked at the ice cream shop. Yeah. Really though? That's Ethan Hawking, Uma Thurman's daughter.

No idea. Good for her. Good for her. Yeah. So it's about time that Hollywood royalty got... Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman

are together? I did not know. Or were. They were. They were. I don't know what's going on in the past. They were a very 90s couple.

Couldn't get more 90s couple than that. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Yeah I was gonna say Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet That was pretty 90s But now she's with Jason Momoa

Oh can I do one? David Duchovny and Talia Leone Still together? No he was addicted to sex Who isn't? Who among us can't claim the sex? Used to live in Kitsilano Yeah. Still together? No. He was addicted to sex. Who isn't? Who among us can't claim the sex? He used to live in Kitsilano.

Oh really? Yeah, on the point. You know what street goes through Kitsilano? Broadway. David Duchovny has when I was reading a book on the plane on my Kindle and it suggests books for you to read. And one was the new David Duchovny book and I

Made a note like this will be a funny thing to make fun of David Duchovny's writing Books now novels. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah He's already got a blues band. So does he I believe seems like he would yeah, but he I looked them up and they're like legitimate novels that people enjoy. And like, they get like, they're, they're like critically praised. Oh really? They're not just like. That's no fun.

Yeah, I know. I was like, Oh, I'm not going to make fun of this. Apparently he's quite talented at this. Make fun of his blues band. Yeah. I only make fun of the things people fail at. Cause I'm a troll. I'll only make fun of the things people fail at because I'm a troll.

Have you seen that commercial with Jeremy Renner where he's... His band? Yeah, his band is playing on the soundtrack. Yeah, we talked about that. I just want to talk about it all the time. It's like he pulled off a trick on Jeep. Jeep's like, what are you famous for again? He's like, my music. I'm a singer. I wear a lot of capes.

And I walk through the desert and I kick mounds of dust while I sing. I'm going to Google that. What's that? JeremyRenner.com? Yeah, well you got to go to JeremyRenner.com to start. It'll all be there. Do you have Flash on your browserner.com to start it'll all be there do you have flash on on your browser enable it oh boy um uh also uh when i was in winnipeg before montreal

uh and um uh i went to a legal weed store which i I have not been in since weed became legal. Are you a weed smith? No, no. But I was at a Subway, and it was right next door. And I was like, hmm. Oh, because we don't have the legal stores here. No. Like, this was like a government.

Yeah. Herbs are us. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't just, yeah, one of these gray market ones. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't just one of these gray market ones. Yeah, so here's the weird thing with the government. If you buy a joint from the government, it comes in so much packaging.

It's wild. It's like a whole box like the size of a chocolate bar. And that box has like, you have to figure out how to open it. It's got special tabs so that a kid can't get into it you bought one? my friend bought one name names

it was David Duchovny it's legal now David it's fine oh he's addicted to it yeah he's just got that person and then there's like a plastic tray Oh, he's addicted to it. Yeah, he's just got that person ahead of him. And then there's like a plastic tray inside that it's in, so it's like an action figure kind of thing.

And then it's in a vacuum sealed, inside of that, a vacuum sealed thing that you have to peel open to get to. It's like buying fancy coffee or something. It's so much packaging. And it's like got an official government seal on the outside that says like duty paid and all this stuff. But like so much garbage. This feels like a step backwards. Is there a farm to table story?

Who grew it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. In an Herbs R Us. Have you been in there? I have r us have you been in there i have not in one of those has anyone been in one of those stores do they just have just like jars of i've seen through the window yeah the jars and then like trays of crackle that's yeah yeah yeah peanut brittle weed brittle yeah it looks like brittle yeah and yeah there's like, yeah, it's more just here's a baggie, I guess. Yeah. At those stores.

Less waste. Yeah, less footprint. Less waste, more getting wasted. Is everything displayed at the government one or is it like the beer store in Toronto? It is like the beer store. So you look at a menu. You give you a menu and you go, i guess uh can you smell it no not really right but like they don't give sample the smell i mean oh no no uh so they really ruined the experience for everyone yeah

and there was like a guy there was like kind of a bouncer guy right at the door and it was all very like the, everybody was very professional and, but it didn't feel like a weed thing. Yeah. It felt like more like being at like an air Canada desk. Right. Yeah. Like,

uh, cool. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds great. Yeah. But I, I,

I always wondered what it would be like when they legalized it and now sanitized yeah legalized and sanitized yeah and like government you know bureaucracy you did up so that it's like well it's got to be vacuum sealed it's got to be in a plastic tray inside a cardboard box that's sealed with a plastic wrapper on the outside so you know step forward step back did they have any percassets yeah they had some perks uppers reds blues they have it all the black widow what's that they don't make ludes anymore they don't no they don't make ludes that? They don't make lewds anymore. They don't? No, they don't make lewds.

Why not? I don't know. They got retired. They got raised up into the rafters. Yeah. Because, like, they were very popular. Yeah, I think the government stopped making them. Because it was, like, an over-the-counter drug.

Oh! I don't know the history. But, like, why... Go to quaaludes.com. Yeah, I know. Because I remember looking it up after Wolf of Wall Street came out. Right. Because there was a big player.

Yeah. You were like, got to get my hands on some of this. And I was like, oh, I only hear it referred to in the past tense, like in period pieces. Right. Or lewds. Yeah. Plural. But no one ever like illegally made them yeah i guess not

i guess they were always synthetic yeah like i don't know like a xanax like you can't get a can you get a probably i'm sure yeah i got a chemist doing everything yeah i gotta hit the streets yeah i gotta get back i gotta get back in the zone sometimes on the streets on a street light you'll see a little Like a A little post-it That says like Over-the-counter drugs Have you ever seen those?

You know? Or she panicked. Yeah. I do that a lot. Yeah. Or I feel like around your uncles. Well, no. As a kid, I'm like, everyone talks to you so familiar with such

familiarity yeah you're like does this person remember didn't know me and i just don't remember them right and then uh and then sometimes kids will talk to you about someone you've never heard of because they assume all grown-ups know each other yeah that's true and yeah usually the only time i talk to kids is on Christmas day after I've been visited by three ghosts. I say, you there kid, what day is it?

And the kid goes, who's this guy? Who are you? Yeah. Yeah. And I go, don't worry about that. Just give me a goose.

Yeah. And then you never talk to kids again. No, no, no. As soon as I get that goose, I'm done with kids. And the kid's like,

uh, it's Christmas. Everywhere's closed. Go to the goose store. Just, no, no. As soon as I get that goose, I'm done with kids. And the kid's like, uh, it's Christmas and everyone's closed.

charlotte in brighton england the other day, one of my kindergarten students was talking to me about Captain Hook and how much better he would be if he could change his hook hand to different, more useful things, like a pencil. Reminded of something from my youth, I asked, have you ever heard of Inspector Gadget? The boy thought for a moment, furrowing his brow before offering up, no, but I do know Commissioner Gordon. I know people in law enforcement yeah i don't know the inspector but i know his boss yeah this is one of these things about kids not knowing how many people there are i assume you all know each other yeah yeah yeah it's weird I feel bad that I don't know his name. Because there's only like eight people. Yeah. That's why it's never like, if we've had guests on the show who do voices in cartoons and stuff.

Yeah. Margot's never impressed because she doesn't know that that's unusual. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like, of course, of course. There's only the 12 people. Yeah. Somebody's got to do, yeah, yeah. She's like, of course, of course. There's only the 12 people. Yeah. Somebody's got to do those voices. Sure. Why not?

Why wouldn't it be the people who come and talk into microphones in your house? What about people on TV? Does that impress her? I don't know. She doesn't watch any live action things. Okay. Not even the finals of America's Got Talent? She does watch the finals of America's Got Talent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fun. The voting round is great. Get her on to Cinderella Christmas and see if she's impressed by me. No, she does like the occasional weird, like, Netflix will have, oh, you looked for the Little Mermaid. We don't have that, but we do have this weird Australian show about mermaids. The Australian Mermaid. Yeah. do you have more to say oh yeah absolutely two more uh fine we talk about oh sure i thought you were done with that

one though no no that was more quote no that was it commissioner gordon commissioner gordon this next one comes from netty h buffalo new Buffalo, New York. Two guys are rebuilding a porch next door. When the hammering stops, one guy says to the other, he never keeps less than $10,000 in his cargo shorts. Safest place for it. Are they telling the story of that

Harmony Corrine Matthew McConaughey movie? I don't know. Is that a plot point? No, I've never seen it, but I'm just trying to think of who would have $10,000 in cargo shorts. It would probably be Matthew McConaughey. I saw it. It's a plot point for sure.

Is it? Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. Everything's a plot point in that movie. Is it good? And oh, everything and nothing.

There's a great compilation of him on David Letterman. Like all of the times he was on David Letterman. Oh, Harmony Green. Harmony Green. And it's hilarious. He's a bit of a Crispin Glover, right? Yeah. And Dave loves it.

Yeah, Dave loves that kind of thing. He loves it. He loves someone who doesn't, who isn't polished. Yeah. And somebody who just says weird stuff. Like he asked, what did he ask of, like, whose influences were? And he was like, I don't really watch movies. This is a filmmaker.

Did he like Crispin Glover, though? Or was he genuinely upset with him for trying to kick him in the face? I think he was genuinely upset. I think he liked him. Yeah, I think he was genuinely upset with it. I think he liked them. Yeah, I think he liked anybody. He always liked Harvey Pekar was a guy that he liked weirdos, but then the weirdos would always

turn on him. Well, they're weirdos. Yeah. What do you expect? He'd push them too far. They knew they were being made fun of I think too. Yeah. It's like a little kid. You can make fun of a little kid at a certain point and they'll be like, oh, they're onto me.

Richard Simmons, that was another. He never turned on him, though. He got really upset at one point, though. Like the kid thing. Dave was really mean to him. Like he sprayed him with a fire extinguisher.

That's right, I forgot about that. That's too far. That is too far. You can't ruin somebody's outfit. Especially Richard Simmons. Yeah. He's only got the one. He put so much work into it.

He's missing, I hear. Yeah. There was a podcast about that. Yeah. Yeah. That's sad. Yeah, it's sad. It wasn't really sad.

It turns out he just was like, he wasn't missing. Oh, yeah. He's just in his house. Yeah. And he just doesn it's sad. It wasn't really sad. It turns out he just was like, uh, he wasn't missing. Oh yeah. He's just in his house. Yeah. And he just doesn't want to talk to the podcast. It's sad.

It was sad because he's like, he's withdrawn. He's withdrawn. Yeah. Yeah. He put it out there for a long time. A lot of energy to put out. Yeah.

Uh, this last one comes from Calvin H in California. Calvin Harris. Name a song. Name a song. Name a song. We'll bleep it. Did he do A Hopeless Place with Rihanna? Maybe.

Yeah.

Yeah. If you think your kid is weird looking, you got a real Abe Vigoda for a kid. Or just say weird looking. Don't say ugly. It's subjective, though. Yeah. What's that family's idea of ugly?

What's their base? What is the world's baseline? Of who's ugly? Like, is Ben Affleck in the top or the middle? Oh, Ben Affleck. Hands top or the middle oh ben affleck then of handsome or ugly yeah he's in the top of handsome okay yeah but what era of ben affleck oh but the love don't cost the thing music video where he's pumping gas and his hair's all slicked back yeah look back?

and this guy, when I was in the bathroom, was just kind of like chatting with me. And he was just asking about what I was doing, how I like my job, you know, regular small talk. And as I was about to leave the bathroom, he was like, hey, so how about I take a piss on your face? And I just politely said, oh, no, thanks, though. I'm fine. And he kind of responded, oh, no one ever wants that.

Off I go. You can't surprise somebody with that. Yeah. That's something that you've worked up to over a long period of time. It's stress. If you're working, I'm assuming this guy's a waiter or wedding DJ or something. Yeah. I don't know what you would work as.
