Starting point is 00:01:18 Hello. Hello. Thanks for having me back. Thanks for coming back. I'll always come back. When were you last here? Over a year ago. Oh, yeah. Because you skipped back. I'll always come back. When were you last here? Over a year ago. Oh, yeah. Because you skipped town.
Starting point is 00:01:28 I skipped town. Yeah, yeah. You hopped on a boxcar and we never saw you since. Have you been back since you moved? I was back like for one show, but I haven't done any. But you haven't been back here. No, I haven't been back here. Nice to have you back.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Thank you. I'm back in Alberta where gas is cheap. I'm sorry. It pisses people off, but it's thrilling to fill my car up for $30. And then pour a little out. Yeah, just for the homies in BC. Because when you were moving, I remember when you were moving, everyone's reaction to you moving to Edmonton was, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Yeah, I know. You love that joke, don't you? That's your favorite joke In the world I know You It wasn't my joke It was you telling the story
Starting point is 00:02:09 It's true Everyone hates Edmonton Everyone hates Alberta But I mean I've been back there now For a year And I'm pretty impressed It's a good little town
Starting point is 00:02:17 They have like This summer they got E-scooters Oh they really They really do have Oh my god Valerie got them too They're hilarious Have you been on one?
Starting point is 00:02:26 I was on one except for, I didn't realize that there were like boundaries where you could take the scooter. I lived downtown and I thought I could go scoot home and I like hit this one street and all of a sudden it just started going eight kilometers an hour. But then I'm like, I was embarrassed to like turn around. So I was was just literally standing on this thing going eight kilometers an hour. And then I figured out I had to walk it back all the way. To the zone. Wow. It's really inconvenient.
Starting point is 00:02:53 So you live downtown. Are there scooters downtown? Oh, yeah. That's where they mainly are. But I live in a sketchy part of downtown where they don't want the scooters going because they'll probably lose their wheels. The scooter just turns around. It's like a shopping cart that deactivates when you get out of the parking lot.
Starting point is 00:03:12 That's exactly what it is. But they're fun. They're dangerous. There's some stupid people riding them. How long has Edmonton had them? They just came in the middle of summer. All of a sudden, they just started popping up everywhere. It's going to be rough in january yeah they're gonna turn them they're gonna put little skis on the bottom yeah and just
Starting point is 00:03:29 like ski around which would be actually really fun yeah a little single blade yeah yeah that'd be great do we want to get to new us oh yeah so kathleen you were telling us that there's a story behind the name of the Dead Baby Bear Podcast. And I'm scared. And Dave's scared. Because I love all animals. I love all animals. And I love all babies. I love most babies.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Some babies I could do without. I like those Ann Getty's ones. Oh, yeah. In the peapods. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those little flower pot babies. Adorable. They don't know what they're dressed as
Starting point is 00:04:05 is Celine Dion is she involved in that in some way I'm sure they play Celine Dion music at the photo shoots like is she an investor yeah she might be it seems like something she'd be into she owns a few things yeah I feel like she might be like an angel investor in Ann Getty's. Is there not? Did she not do like a crossover? Did Ann Getty's do an album cover? Why am I thinking these two things are related? She does a francophone version.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Yeah, of francophone flowers. You go ahead. I'm going to do a little bit of research. Do some research on Ann Getty's. So Sean and I were on tour in BC And we were driving home through the mountains This is past guest Sean LaCombe Past guest Sean
Starting point is 00:04:51 Hilarious human being Hilarious My favorite comedian And so we were driving Oh it is Celine Dion and Anne Getty's She's dressed as a tulip How did you know that?
Starting point is 00:05:04 I guess it was in my spank bank. You just are totally turned on by women holding babies dressed as butterflies. It's a kink, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:16 It's there. It's the lady part, though. I just want everyone to know. For me, it's the tulip part. So you're driving through the mountains. Driving through the mountains. And we come around a corner and there's all these car stops where I'm thinking, wildlife, yay.
Starting point is 00:05:32 And then we pass and someone had hit a baby bear. I know, that was my reaction. I actually started to cry. I was really upset. I was very upset by it. And of course, Sean is like a guy he doesn't want to be around a crying woman so he's like get out kick me out of the car no he was like trying to be funny he's trying to make me forget about it we were joking and
Starting point is 00:05:58 laughing and about an hour later we're driving along and i i had i stopped crying i'd forgotten about it and uh as soon as he realized i'd forgotten about it, he looked at me. He said, Kathleen, dead baby bear. So that's just our relationship. I think it was. Yeah. That's how like our relationship is. So that's why we decided to call our podcast that.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Because that's a lot. That's kind of the theme of your relationship. I guess we're just like we just get stoned and talk. Yeah. It's pretty fun. It's a good time. I like being around crying women yeah yeah where where uh where do you find the there's that's easily accessible oh boy uh at the nightclub yeah yeah yeah the bathroom of the nightclub yeah as people are women are leaving the nightclub early. Yep. Carrying their shoes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Weddings are a good place. Funerals. I cry at all weddings and not during the ceremony. Afterwards, when I don't catch the bouquet and I realize I'm still single. Well, I'm not single, but there's no wedding in my future. No? Well, I don't know. We're both poor.
Starting point is 00:07:04 We can't afford it. You can just go to City Hall. Yeah, go to City hall and demand the mayor marries you i your i pay your salary you could get married on those scooters that'd be fun that would be fun go up the island scoot on up scoot on down get some cans to drag behind it yeah why don't people drag cans behind their car after weddings anymore that's a good question and why did they do that i remember it used to be i used to always see um like motorcades of like limousines with flowers on them and you would honk at them yeah why did they stop doing that i don't know like i don't know why they did it in the first place were they driving from the i guess people do people go,
Starting point is 00:07:45 I guess the idea was you went, you got married in a church. Yeah. Then you had to drive across town to a reception place. And then you wanted every, maybe just the cans made noise and drew attention to you.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Well, the cans were, I feel like the cans were leaving the reception as you're like going off on your honeymoon, which everyone leaves from their reception directly to.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Goes straight to the airport weddings have really changed yeah it's really changed i was just at a wedding this last weekend and what what style of wedding was this a big wedding small wedding like a medium i guess it was at a country club did you cry at the end as we were leaving with no bouquet. Why don't you marry me? My poor boyfriend. I'm like, I just want this ring from Costco. It's easy.

Starting point is 00:08:42 they're a very ethical company. They treat their employees quite well. Absolutely. I will great. They're a very ethical company. They treat their employees quite well. Absolutely. I support Costco fully. You could get a ring, you could get

Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah, a tray of cauliflower. Instead of flowers, you get cauliflower. Or the bouquet of broccolini yeah no the wedding was fun but I was just like
Starting point is 00:09:11 I get very emotional at the end because I get drunk and then I'm like oh I've never had a wedding yet I want to be the center of attention
Starting point is 00:09:20 you know me I love being the center of attention would you wear like a traditional wedding dress? I don't think it'd be too traditional. Probably some sort of sequin. Oh.
Starting point is 00:09:32 I've always wanted to have one of those reveal dresses like drag queens have. You know, like when they're like, it's one dress and then all of a sudden you go like this and it's another dress. Have you ever seen those? You undo the overalls. Yeah. I am wearing overalls.

Starting point is 00:12:16 Yeah, you weren't invited. It wasn't invited, it just showed up. Got the bouquet, spiked it. But don't spike a bouquet at a wedding.

Starting point is 00:15:17 Yeah. How's it going? It's good. I'm having fun. I'm working at a taco restaurant that I run into Dave at. Every time I'm going to Edmonton, I go to this taco restaurant. Can I say what it's called? You can call it, but I might have to be honest about it.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Oh, do you not like it or you do like it? There are things I don't like about it. Okay, well, I like the food there. It's called Tres Carnales. What don't you like about it? I don't like that you can't just get a bunch of different tacos like every other restaurant in the history of the world. Yeah, but then it takes forever for your tacos to come out. They used to do that,
Starting point is 00:15:49 but that's why. I mean, it doesn't take forever at other restaurants. Oh, we've had adult men throw temper tantrums, not just you. But some guy was freaking out. Oh, I had a real tantrum there. Well, it's got a Mexican wrestling
Starting point is 00:16:04 theme. Theme? It's got like a Mexican wrestling theme. Theme? It's got one picture of a luchador. Yeah, of a luchador. So I had a tantrum and I jumped off the turnbuckle
Starting point is 00:16:15 and did a flying elbow drop into some salsa. Let me just think what would you find in a taco? A bunch of skulls You always think that women are the ones
Starting point is 00:16:31 that like get all huffy and complaining I don't think that Well most I hear because there's that whole Karen thing you know the Karens
Starting point is 00:16:37 but it's definitely men in their 30s that freak out the most when they can't get what they want Do you get offended by that because your name's Karen?
Starting point is 00:16:46 Or, and you get offended that I don't know your name. No, that's fine. I'm totally cool with it. I don't need to be known by anything. Karen McGee, everybody.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Karen McGee. Have you worked as a server? I assume you work as a server. You've worked as a server before? Oh, yeah. I worked at a racetrack. It was fun serving hay it's for horses would you do you work in like the the
Starting point is 00:17:15 box suites kind of thing no it's just like a bar that was in the racetrack i have worked in those little box but i don't like them they're it's too much work I like the laid back bar areas yeah yeah it's fun I learned how to bet on the horses there
Starting point is 00:17:29 there's like a bar kind of by my house in Edmonton that we go to sometimes and it's just like all these old men betting on horses
Starting point is 00:17:35 and you can go in and bet with them and it's really fun I don't know it's very a lot of degenerates but that's where I feel most comfortable
Starting point is 00:17:41 what is your what's your favorite do you bet on a tractor or what is it oh I just bet five on five to win five on five there you go i've only won twice how did you do that five on five what does that five dollars on horse number five oh first okay you can do win place or show win means yeah first place means first or second. Show me first or second. But you win more money if you do win. Yeah. And if you can, I think a trifecta is when you bet on the first, second, and third.
Starting point is 00:18:13 But it has to come in an order. In that order. Which is very difficult. But you can win a lot of money doing that. There are some times that there are old men at the track winning $20,000 and they wouldn't care because they already just spent $20,000 that week.
Starting point is 00:18:28 That's true. And they only have a week to live and so they're like, how am I going to spend? Well, I guess I could put another bet then. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:33 But horse racing's fun. I don't know. Yeah. It's not Chuck Wagon. It's not. Yeah. It's not horse racing. So when you're at the bar
Starting point is 00:18:41 betting on these. Yeah. Are you watching it on a TV? Well, yeah. There's like. You're not at a horse bar. Well, I was at a horse bar. And the bartender's like, why the long face?
Starting point is 00:18:53 Oh, no. Oh, you guys are getting old. No. Yeah. It's like a horse track, but there's not always racing at that track. But you can go to any casino and there'll be a place to bet on horses and it's just a bunch of screens from like all these uh tracks around the world and you can just bet oh on any race the belmont stakes so many things yeah that's just one day yeah but if you go on that day but like it's four in the morning
Starting point is 00:19:22 but there's a horse race in singapore i can bet on they used to do the hong kong races and uh you'd have to work until four in the morning just because the time changed but oh wow yeah you could come and get all these races in hong kong and it's all these old guys that's my favorite thing at the track is they've all got their little program yeah they've got a little book that they've worked out a little system have they do they i mean i it must be so because like okay i follow hockey and you can read about hockey all the time yeah and you can watch so many games a day and there's you know people to follow on twitter and but like with horse racing it's like it just doesn't feel like that big of a part
Starting point is 00:20:05 of the culture that you could become an expert. Yeah. I don't, I think it's dying. Yeah. I think it's a dying kind of sport. But I, like I, my grandpa used to go to horse races and make like his living there. He sold Encyclopedia Britannica and he went to the races. That's what my grandpa did.
Starting point is 00:20:22 And he did well. Wow. He was a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman. That's amazing. So both things are becoming irrelevant. Yeah, absolutely. But yeah, no, I think of the... Did you have encyclopedias growing up? Oh, yeah. Oh, we had
Starting point is 00:20:35 huge sets of Encyclopedia Britannica. We were a Britannica family. We had Britannica and World Book. Oh, yeah, I had World Book. Well, Britannica was too wordy. World Book had those glossy pages i like they had more pictures or something yeah the uh yeah but it's like if you go to the the racetrack now it's all old guys or all bachelor and bachelorette party yeah yeah it's a very that's the only people there's nobody that they're just kind of enjoying the day. Yeah, yeah. There's no one's mother's day brunch.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Although, you know what? I think they do mother's day brunches. I think they do. Just to get those moms out there gambling. Yeah. Maybe you can wear a big hat, mom. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wear an iPhone.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Okay, you got me. I'll wear it. So you're working at the Taco Place. You founded a comedy festival? I did. I founded a comedy festival. Where'd you find it? I found it at a little theater in Edmonton called Grindstone. It was underneath this seat.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Look under your seat. One of you will have won a comedy festival. Yeah, I won it in a card game oh no that just made me think of something totally unrelated but i was watching the maryland dennis show and you know how like in america you get like tvs and cars if you're in the audience she gave everyone a package of toilet paper you know what extra extra fancy toilet paper like a you know what? Charmin extra fancy toilet paper. Like a big package of it? Everybody goes home with toilet paper.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Not just one though. Not just a roll. No, a pack. Okay, good. No, she wasn't just like tossing toilet paper into the crowd. That like toilet paper gun that Prop Comics gives. Or like what you would get out of a vending machine in a hostel or something. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I'm imagining something. I don't know if that exists. Prison maybe in the vending machine? What do they call the prison store? The canteen. The prison store. Yeah. Yeah, the prison store is, you know, property.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Would you rather have cigarettes or toilet paper? I'm not a smoker, so I'd say toilet paper. Yeah. But cigarettes, can't you barter with cigarettes in prison? Yeah. But you could probably barter with toilet paper as well. I don't know. Or Snickers, you know?
Starting point is 00:22:57 Yeah. That's what I would rather have. Snickers? Yeah. Well, you'd be grouchy otherwise. Yeah, because sometimes I turn into like Joe Pesci and I criticize people and then I have a Snickers
Starting point is 00:23:09 and they're like you're better now you were just hungry yeah that's a great those are good that was a good campaign I don't know
Starting point is 00:23:20 if they still do those I think they kind of a little bit I just remember the weirdest one was there was one that had Robin Williams. Yeah. And then also Bobcat Goldthwait was just in it at the end for some reason. As himself or as?
Starting point is 00:23:34 As Bobcat. Mm-hmm. But it didn't, like they're not a duo that you think of. No, not that you would. Oh, there's Robin. Where's Bobcat? Oh, there he is. Okay, good. What was the, oh, there's Robin. Where's Bobcat? Oh, there he is. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:23:45 What was the, oh, you get a little crazy when you're, yeah, you get a little loopy or something like that because he was doing his like Robin Williams thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 And then Bobcat Goldthwait was a cheerleader? Did he do the voice? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It was weird. It was probably the weirdest
Starting point is 00:24:03 of the Snickers. Bobcat Goldthwait is the most interesting because he was like his. It was just like the character in Police Academy that kind of just kept going. Yeah. Like it was sort of his persona on stage. But yeah, I've met him since. And he's very nice. And yes, you couldn't get by if you talk like that.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Yeah. I don't know that a comic now could do that to have this weird persona that you have to do it
Starting point is 00:24:31 24-7 like I don't think Larry the Cable Guy is 24-7 Larry the Cable Guy like if he if he walked around without his overalls
Starting point is 00:24:39 which I'm not I'm not attracted to Larry Cable the Guy but Larry Cable the Guy Cable that guy but if he was just walkingable, the guy. Cable, that guy. But if he was just walking around on the street, I would have no idea who he is.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Yeah, if he put sleeves on his shirt. Yeah, exactly, and took his baseball cap off. Yeah, put on a tough ad. Is there anybody nowadays that is a character? Larry the Cable guy is one. The weird thing about Larry the Cable guy is he does the character as the voice of the tow truck in Cars. The weird thing about Larry the cable guy is he does the character as the voice of the tow truck
Starting point is 00:25:06 in Cars. Yeah, that's right. Whose name is Tow Mater, which is a pun on tomatoes, which has nothing to do with cars.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Cars. Or Larry the cable guy. But is he, he's Bill as Larry the cable guy? Yes. Nice. Bill is Larry the cable guy.
Starting point is 00:25:24 He's not Dan Whitney or whatever. Is that right? Yeah, I think that's right. Good recall. Is that his actual name? Mm-hmm. Oh. He's a Florida comic, I think.
Starting point is 00:25:35 He's a universe comic. He's a comic of... That's true. He's the comic we're going to put on the time capsule that we send to space. Him and Jeff Dunham. We'll put one of Jeff Dunham's puppets in it. They're the gamble guy. And the aliens will be like, what a rich.
Starting point is 00:25:53 But don't they have Terry Fader, they'll say? Well, actually, when I was in the Mexican restaurant, I jumped off the turnbuckle and did a flying elbow drop onto a jalapeno on a stick. I did a flying elbow drop onto a jalapeno on a stick. When I was a kid, jalapeno on a stick was as good as comedy. Is that a thing? Yeah, yeah. It was like one of his puppets.
Starting point is 00:26:19 His original. Oh, this is Jeff Dunham? Yeah. I didn't really... I had an uncle that loved Jeff Dunham. He would make me watch Jeff Dunham all the time. He'd say, you've got to be like Jeff Dunham. I'm like, no. I don't know if you're considering becoming a comedian, but you have to be like him.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Or a ventriloquist. He wanted me to get into ventriloquism really badly. Just giving you a new ventriloquist doll every year for your birthday. Which one was jalapeno on a stick? It was the jalapeno on a stick. It was literally a jalapeno. And that's all he said,
Starting point is 00:26:49 I think. On a stick. He would say, jalapeno on a stick. Oh my gosh. And the voice would come out of the bag. Like he put the jalapeno away
Starting point is 00:26:56 and you'd still hear it. Uh oh. It's amazing what you can say when you say it through a puppet. No. It used to be used to get away
Starting point is 00:27:05 with a lot of stuff I mean Jeff Dunham has been getting away with it for ever getting away with it I'm on to him
Starting point is 00:27:13 I think Occam the dead terrorist is probably an offensive character probably maybe but he's still around
Starting point is 00:27:21 he still makes millions and millions of dollars well good for him good for him and his puppets. You need to be like him. I need to be more like him. I should have booked him for Grindstone. What was I thinking? We broke even.
Starting point is 00:27:34 That's the best part about it. That's amazing. That's amazing for a first year comedy festival. Would you book a ventriloquist? Maybe Otto and George. I like Otto and George. He is no longer with us. Oh, is he? Okay, well, I'd never book him. I mean, the puppet Maybe Otto and George. I like Otto and George. He is no longer with us. Oh, is he? Okay, well, I'd never book him.
Starting point is 00:27:47 I mean, the puppet's still probably. The puppet's probably. He didn't get buried with his puppet? That's a good question. You would think that that would. I wonder if Edgar Bergen got buried with Charlie McCarthy. You'd have to ask Candace. Yeah, she would know.
Starting point is 00:27:58 She would know. If I get one chance to ask Candace Bergen. Is your dead dad buried with the puppet? Who he sat at the dinner table with you every night? Also, what was Miles like on Murphy Brown?
Starting point is 00:28:16 Who was your favorite guest secretary? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Is that still on? No, it was like a year and it didn't go well. I don't think. Yeah, they just ditched most it was like a year and it didn't go well. I don't think.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Yeah, they just ditched most of the cast and just called it the Connors. That show's still going. The Connors version? Connors? Yeah. Roseanne died. Oh, it's Roseanne. They killed her off.
Starting point is 00:28:36 She didn't. Oh, no, Dan originally died. Yeah, but it was a dream. Sure. So Dan is alive. Yeah. And he's John Goodman still on the show. Have you seen the Righteous Gemstones?
Starting point is 00:28:48 No. Speaking of John Goodman. No. It's so good. I've heard it. It's so good. And John Goodman, John Goodman's like pretty much a straight character on it, but like it's so funny.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Is he the hardest working man in showbiz? I think so. He's great. But he's in so many things. Yeah. He's in TV shows. Two TV shows two TV shows I just found out
Starting point is 00:29:06 yeah and movies yeah good for him he's got a podcast I like him be a good man oh yeah
Starting point is 00:29:13 where he just is trying to learn it's called John Goodman and it's about being a really good man in the bathroom in the John
Starting point is 00:29:23 yeah yeah oh my god it's by like you know about etiquette and stuff yeah how to be a courteous pee and poor yeah uh you know make sure is that his podcast or his tv show uh it was his podcast okay all right he just interviews people on how to be a on toilet etiquette yeah john, John Goodman. Yeah. Today we're talking to somebody from prison about whether they'd rather have cigarettes or toilet paper. Yeah, I mean, that's really just the podcast theme of the month across the podcast industry.
Starting point is 00:29:55 If you're in a bathroom and someone farts next to you, do you laugh loudly or quietly? I put my hand over the top for a high five. Yeah, I don't find that funny. You're more of a jalapeno on a stick. Yeah. Um, here's a question. Yeah. The, a fan in the bathroom, when you turn on the fan in the bathroom, is that to get rid of odor?
Starting point is 00:30:19 Yeah. Steam from a shower or to like obscure any bathroom sounds. All of the above. All of the above, I think. I agree. I find it to be quite ineffective at steam and maybe odor.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Like odor goes away regardless. But I think, yeah, for sure, steam. But yeah, also having. I think so.
Starting point is 00:30:42 All of the above, absolutely. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think it was. You of the above, absolutely. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think it was... You're a John Goodman. Are you going to do the festival again?
Starting point is 00:30:55 We are working. Yeah, I think we're going to do it again. Did you get any government funding? Not this time. Well, then you might make a profit. We're working at it. We're working at it we're working at applying for grants but we did it all with um sponsorship money which i was like it was it was
Starting point is 00:31:10 pretty fun and interesting learning experience to figure out it's a good festival you were amazing everyone loved you peter oldring i'd never met him before and i he said that he'd marry me and adam like he'd be qualified uh who cares we'll just yeah yeah willing to go in the pool he's willing to go in the pool like uh we Adam's like well now I just want to get married because I want Peter Walter because my boyfriend like kind of got a man crush on Peter that whole weekend because he's just like the nicest funniest like man he went to the water park by himself at West Edmonton Mall okay yeah I could do that I went to pick him up by himself.

Starting point is 00:32:44 good experience so hopefully we'll get to it again in may of next year we've got some planning to do still yeah it's a lot of work like you think it's gonna be super easy why would you i don't know because you're just like in your head that you think it's gonna be easy have you been to a festival yeah i've been to yeah i've been to good i've been bad screw up all the time i've been to festivals where they're like grew up all the time i've been to festivals where they like it's their first year and they're like we're gonna bring in 80 comics and blah blah blah and then next year like now we lost 25 000 yeah exactly and that's why you want to go that
Starting point is 00:33:13 first year yeah yeah you got to go the first year of a festival because that is when because they're spending yeah we're pretty conservative so yeah but it was a fun we flew you in on flare or swoop which one do we fly you in on? Flair. Yeah, I know. Sorry, I asked you if that was okay and you're like, I guess. Flair is, you don't have to go to Abbotsford for that, do you? No, but you feel like it. It's like discount, discount, discount airline? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:38 But it's just an hour flight. Yeah, but my joke about it was that their name is flair despite their complete disdain for any such good joke thank you yeah no flair at all uh so no like no do you no seats you know standing room they offer you water no okay no there's no there's no water there's no water. There's no, you just service of any kind. Yeah. It's just a bus. Yeah. Sky bus. Um, but yeah,
Starting point is 00:34:09 it was a fun, really fun festival. Yeah, it was, it was good. And that's what I just want to do. And the fact that you didn't lose money is amazing. That was incredible.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Like when we had our final meeting and everything, I, and they said, okay, we broke even, I was just thrilled because I thought we were going to lose so much money. I, I didn't make any money doing it.
Starting point is 00:34:24 I just did it like, cause I wanted to do it. And none of us really like everyone that planned it. We're just like, we're doing this because we want to start something. So hopefully we can do it again and make it a little bit bigger. Yeah. It's,
Starting point is 00:34:37 it's exciting to do, but it is very stressful. Yeah. It's a lot of work. And I'll, I'll start working on a ventriloquist. Please. We'll bring you back this year. If you have a dummy with you. Yeah. And I'll start working on a ventriloquist act. Please.
Starting point is 00:34:47 We'll bring you back this year if you have a dummy with you. And I'll do some talk show where I give everyone in the audience cigarettes. I mean, we voted and we thought everyone would want a pack of cigarettes instead of a pack of toilet paper. You look under your seat, there's a pack of cigarettes. That's like a lot of money. Yeah, well, yeah. I would just put one cigarette under. Just tape one. Everyone gets a cigarette.
Starting point is 00:35:10 You get a cigarette. Your baby gets a cigarette. I've said before that in an ideal world, my main gig would be to teach actors and actresses how to smoke in movies. Yeah, so it was in movies. Yeah. So it was more realistic. Yeah. Because I was watching, I know what you did last summer.
Starting point is 00:35:31 And Sarah Michelle Gellar. Probably the worst on-screen smoker. Oh, really? Is it her hand or her mouth? She's the worst on-screen a lot of things. Her hand. It was so rigid. It was like this low.

And I've gone there before when other things have broken, like the microphone broke on it. Oh, yeah. And they're great. And so I made an appointment with them. And then my home button started working again. And I like oh i don't need this appointment so i canceled

They're like, yeah, that's probably a better idea. Thanks, Virgin Mobile. You're great. Yeah, Richard Branson. But just the, like, it's weird that I'm like, oh, that's too expensive.

Starting point is 00:46:33 Do you, cause I was like, I, somebody said something, there's something called a VSCO girl or something. And I went down a deep, dark hole on YouTube, figuring out what it was.
Starting point is 00:46:44 And it's awful. what's a visco girl it's like a teenage girl that like has scrunchies up her arms and wears birkenstocks and like carries a water ball everywhere and is very concerned about the environment and the turtles oh right if you look at it you will be yes the ninja especially the ninja turtles like if we're gonna let something like an apr April O'Neil type? Yeah, very. Always a redhead. Always in a yellow jumpsuit.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Car heart. Yeah. But it was so annoying. But the worst part was, I just started, I kept going. And I started watching these tween YouTube videos. And then I found families that do... Oh, yeah. I don't like families.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Oh my god, there was like this one family that the whole thing was like, Chastity unwraps presents. That was the name of the like, and they made their six year old daughter. Listen, their six year old daughter, she had to spin a wheel. Whatever letter
Starting point is 00:47:41 it landed on, if she could the first word, if she could spell any toy, if she could the first word if she could spell any toy if she could spell it she got it she landed on I she spells iPod and she's a six year old girl
Starting point is 00:47:55 goes and gets a brand new freaking iPod I'm like iPod is not a toy it is not a toy I was like oh she's gonna get an iguana iTunes gift card oh it was just like I just got mad I was like, Oh, she's going to get an iguana.
Starting point is 00:48:06 iTunes gift card. Yeah. It was just like, I just got mad watching those. I hate, I hate YouTube families. Yeah. I hate them.
Starting point is 00:48:14 I will say hate. I hate is a strong word, but they're the worst. Yeah. I don't, I don't like any, uh, yeah. Family content is,
Starting point is 00:48:20 uh, I don't care. I don't want my family to know I have the internet. Yeah. Yeah. That's the worst is when you've been keeping that secret even keeping it from them i mean i'm not doing a very good job because i always need to fix my parents internet now back to april o'neill yes you mentioned her yellow jumpsuit and it just occurred to me how crazy it would be uh that she was the news reporter on yeah if you were watching the news and a reporter was wearing a yellow jumpsuit you'd be like huh yeah that's
Starting point is 00:48:52 weird it's so this is the what they're wearing these days is she in some kind of war zone or yeah and then you turn on the news the next day and you're like she's wearing it again yeah there's that yellow jumpsuit but that's cartoon world everyone wears the same thing every day and she also only reported ninja news yeah ninja turtle news or foot clan news um i guess that was her beat you know i guess that's is there any footage of the ninja turtles using plastic straws oh i would like to see it yeah that's a good that would be a good meme i would like to see it i mean they definitely use those little plastic tables that go on pizza yeah yeah that uh you know keep the lid from smashing your pizza yeah
Starting point is 00:49:40 exactly did you see uh it was being passed around the internet, I think it was a Leonardo original costume for sale. That was decaying. Oh, boy. Have you seen it? No. I'll show you a picture of it. I got an elf costume last year for Halloween. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Yeah, elf, the alien. And I wore it to do stand-up for 10 seconds. It was so hot. Was it? I can find you so hot. Was it? I can find you a picture. Was it like tall? It's a full elf costume. It cost me $160
Starting point is 00:50:12 because I'm an idiot. Where'd you get it? Amazon. Oh my God. And it shed everywhere. There's orange fluff everywhere I went. Everywhere I went.
Starting point is 00:50:21 It's great. It's a good costume, but I couldn't wear it for longer than 10 seconds. Like the mask, especially because it's just like this plastic elf face. I tried to do standup in it and I literally was just, I couldn't hear what I was doing.
Starting point is 00:50:34 And I was just like, this is fucking stupid. Yeah. Is my cat material going over my stuff about Willie? Yeah. I kill me. Yeah. So yeah, I've been in phone limbo.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Home button still doesn't work. I have this virtual home button on the screen. I didn't even know that existed. I've had that happen before, a couple phones ago. A couple phones ago. But I think it might be four years. Time to say goodbye. Goodbye, iPhone 6.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Isn't that sad? Four years. That's all we get out of stuff now yeah and if you're lucky that's a lot for this i know i know like usually it's like your two-year term and then your phone is done by the time the end of your two-year term two-year term is over your phone is just like kill me yeah yeah you just get it like taped together and you're like well i can't use uh i can't i can calls in, but I can't make out the calls. It's like, oh, update the iOS, please.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Please. But that'll kill you even more. I don't care. Better to burn out than fade away, man. What's going on with you, Graham? This past weekend I went to a comedy festival in Kamloops, B.C. I drove through Kamloops this past Friday. It's very, it's like a weird kind of scenery because it looks like the desert.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Yeah, there's all sagebrush and kind of rolling brown hills and stuff. Yeah. I took the bus up to Kamloops. Yeah. I've done that before. Oh, Graham. Well, I could have rented a car, but I was like, this, the bus. Oh, they don't fly?
Starting point is 00:52:13 Yeah, I guess you fly, but it's one of those like ridiculous, like 15 minutes in the air. Wait a second. So this festival didn't put you on flair? No, this festival did not. Well, fuck them. Yeah. They put you on Greyhound. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:26 And the Greyhound doesn't yeah run in in these uh provinces anymore it doesn't exist anymore well it does out east oh really yeah they still run in ontario and so what bus did you take to campus something called e-bus oh yes e-bus yeah electronic bus they have a wi-fi on it they do yeah that's why they call it yeah yeah yeah was it full no uh the ride up it? They do. Yeah, that's why they call it that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it full? No. The ride up, it was like almost, I think there was probably like 10 of us on the bus. That's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:54 How long was the bus ride? Same as if I drove plus about 15, 20 minutes. So it was like a four-hour drive. Not bad. Not bad, sure. Yeah. And you, sure. Yeah. And you got Wi-Fi. You could just plunk along in your computer the whole time.
Starting point is 00:53:14 You know, it was fine. The ride up was better than the ride back. Somebody was on the bus with a baby on the ride back. And that's... Baby on a plane is one thing. Yeah. Baby on a bus. Whoa. What's different?
Starting point is 00:53:28 Wheels. Yeah. They like any time that they go to sleep, they're woken up by something bumping or whatever. So it's just like crying the whole ride. Was it full that time? Yeah. I've gone on buses when they're not full. Fine.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Yeah. But when they're full and you have to sit next to someone it's just ugh oh I didn't I had a seat to myself okay well that's good yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:53:50 but it was pretty packed on the ride back and like on the ride up uh anytime that somebody would get off at a stop
Starting point is 00:53:59 I'd just have a whole daydream about what their life was like cause cause a lot of them cause they'd be getting off in Merritt. Exactly. So, you know, like this one gal got off in Merritt and there was nobody to greet her.
Starting point is 00:54:14 And I was like, maybe she's starting a brand new life in Merritt. Her and her fanny pack. That's all the luggage she had was just a fanny pack. Oh my God. Buses are fun though. Like I've had bus trips where I went from Calgary to Edmonton, and there was people coming back from the prison in Lethbridge behind me talking about being- About going back to prison?
Starting point is 00:54:34 No, about going back to their old ladies. They actually use the terms old ladies. Oh. And they were young. Yeah, I mean, well, but yeah, but their old ladies aren't. Yeah, their ladies are old. Yeah. That's right. They're seeing somebody. Some senior young. Yeah, but their old ladies aren't. Yeah, their ladies are old. That's right.
Starting point is 00:54:45 They're seeing somebody. Some senior citizens. Yeah. Have you ever had a horrifying bus ride? Like scary? There was when I was young. I went on like a bus ride from Vancouver to Saskatoon. You're still young.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Thanks. And there was a guy that was kind of freaking out. And I think he was like, I think he was drunk. That's like the same route the beheader one took. And that's, don't think that didn't cross my mind. Oh, it was after the beheading? No, no, no. But when I was going on this.
Starting point is 00:55:17 It was pre-heading. Yeah, it was pre-heading. But the morning I was going to get on the bus, I was like, oh yeah, right. This is why, this is why buses got a real bad name in Canada. Yeah. If people don't know what we're talking about, you're better off. Yeah, you are better off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:37 But yeah, but also buses never drop you close to where anything is. That's what I found out on this route, that it just dropped me at a mall. And I was like, oh, okay, well. In Kamloops? In Kamloops. But the mall only just had a Safeway. So you're advertising a mall, but really it's a bus stop. And a grocery store.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Yeah, and a grocery store. And the festival was fun. Yeah. But the real takeaway was this time on the bus. Yeah. Also, I stayed in, like, most hotel rooms, for whatever reason, that I stay in, have two beds. Mm-hmm. One bed.
Starting point is 00:56:20 One bed this time around. King or queen? This was like a double. What? Yeah. How dare they? This was some real no. What? Yeah. How dare they? This was some real no country for old men living I was doing. What's your two bed ritual?
Starting point is 00:56:31 All the luggage and everything on one bed and then sleep on the other bed throw extra pillows. Do you have an eating? You don't have like an eating bed? An eating bed. Oh that's a good idea. Yeah. I have an eating bed? An eating bed. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:46 I have an eating bed at home only. It's disgusting. It's gross. It's awful. Instead of a dining room table, you just have an eating bed. You had a weird hotel room at our festival. You had bad experience with your hotel. Yeah, well, because I was like right above the bar.
Starting point is 00:57:02 And so like, I was like, okay, well, there's just like a din of a bar going on and then this like power band started at like 11 o'clock and the walls were shaking like things were falling off the shelves this power band it was so loud yeah i picked you up the next day and you're like i had to move yeah and like when i called the front desk i was like uh i'm right above the bar and they were like oh yeah why like right away they were like why did we put you there yeah when they had other free rooms in the hotel it was a nice hotel though right like cool rooms and stuff yeah it was cool they did cool like it used to be like a total like hooker hotel.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Oh yeah? I think that's cool. Yeah. It used to be next to the Greyhound station in Edmonton. That's where, yeah, that hotel was,
Starting point is 00:57:54 you couldn't, you were told never go in that hotel. And now they've, they've boutiqued it up. Now it's cool. It's cool now. And, oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:58:01 like the, I had to take a cab to get to the bus station to go back. And the bus driver or the cab driver, he didn't even he didn't even ask if I was going to the bus. He just dropped me off. He just said you look like a bus person. I said, I'm going to the Soholly Mall. And then he was driving around to the where the bus was.
Starting point is 00:58:21 And he was and he's like, oh, I realized I didn't even ask. Are you taking the bus? I just assumed you were taking the bus. That he's like, oh, I realized I didn't even ask. Are you taking the bus? I just assumed you were taking the bus. That's kind of a weird assumption. You look like you'd take the bus.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Yeah. I'll drive you to the bus. See what you think. International or domestic? Oh, I've done that before where I've gone across the border on a bus. To the US?
Starting point is 00:58:45 Yeah. Have you done like zip bus where it's like a dollar to go to Seattle? No. Does that exist anymore? Oh, Bolt bus? Bolt bus. Yes. Yeah, I did that.
Starting point is 00:58:53 It's super cheap. Super cheap. But the whole, the weird thing is everybody has to get off the bus and stand in line at customs. And talk to a customs person. And they're like, I feel like probably at customs whoever's in charge of bus line is like a short straw i feel like they probably catch someone every time so it's they're not letting you go until they catch someone yeah yeah and everybody looks very
Starting point is 00:59:19 suspicious and you know we're all just trying to visit our old ladies yeah we're all I just wanted to pick up some of that and there's a border patrol film crew filming yeah yeah my favorite show I've they're like
Starting point is 00:59:32 I got busted at the border and some of the people that busted me are sometimes on that show oh yeah were you like I love you
Starting point is 00:59:39 I miss you guys thanks for no they were they were nice it wasn't my border guy who I told I hope my face haunts you I was so upset who did you tell that to you guys thanks for no they were the they were nice it wasn't my border guy who i told uh i hope my face haunts you i was so upset who did you tell that to the american border guy that busted me
Starting point is 00:59:51 just my face though the rest of my body's not gonna haunt you don't even look at my body are you uh can you go back to america well i've gone back i went across the border with a different face and with a different face and the same body, but they didn't look at my body last time, so thank God. No, I went across and I went with my dad and my stepmom, and I said, so they're going to stop us. You know this. We're going to have to go in.
Starting point is 01:00:16 And my stepmom's like, this is exciting. Like, it's not exciting. Well, maybe it is for her. I guess, yeah, live a little. But so we went into the, it was the Peace Arch one that we drove across just to go to Bellingham. And, uh, we go in and they pull us aside and then they asked me if I've ever been
Starting point is 01:00:32 denied, uh, entry into the United States. And I said, yes. And, uh, then they told me to sit back down and then this guy brings me over and he
Starting point is 01:00:40 said, well, he's like, you're lucky that you were very honest when they caught you because you avoided fraud charges and a ban like you could have been banned for five years and you could have been charged with fraud which is awful and he said but you were very honest but now we just don't trust you and i'm like well i don't trust a lot of people either so i get it yeah but you just have to show proof that you're living here. I haven't tried since to go across.
Starting point is 01:01:05 I haven't tried to fly across yet. But I had another friend who got busted. He was working in Las Vegas. And he said, as soon as I changed my passport, as soon as my passport expired, they stopped even saying anything to me. Oh, really? I went to Mexico and it was fun. They didn't say anything. No, but you know.
Starting point is 01:01:23 But you went to Mexico. You didn't try to work in Mexico no I did not I worked it but I didn't work it and you know what there's no laws against that
