G. Yeah.

What do they say about my family? I bet none of them can fly. That's what the birds say. And they're right. Yeah. So you saw a big bird today? It was a tiny little bird. We don't have tiny birds. We just have one big one.

Yeah, one big one. We call him Pondor. And you don't want to disappoint him i think he's all the other big birds like all the other small birds at bay i guess yeah he's a real enforcer and uh he's the best he's the best bird that anybody's ever seen better than big bird last spring we had um just kind of like a never-ending uh like list of covid projects okay projects to uh to keep the family busy and so you know one day i like assembled a um plexiglass plexiglass station for each of the kids like a plexiglass like the thing that blows dollar bills around and you try to catch them it's fun for the whole family yeah and i disassembled it after that

this was more in the assembly that i enjoyed yeah cash is meaningless but i i had uh like we you know we planted flowers one day we did whatever stupid stuff like just because we were told we would have to be home for two weeks yeah we all shaved our heads yeah yeah yeah one of the things was we made a or we bought and hung a uh hummingbird feeder oh yeah and payoff and and uh you know poured the goo in it we made i mean we made our own goo did you make your own goo yeah yeah we made how long did that take you well a long time because i was thinking about baseball uh and then we hung it up the world series ever gonna come back and then we hung it up and uh uh i didn't see a hummingbird no all year not one and then in like february the hummingbirds started coming by and like dipping their beaks. Yeah. Nice.

Getting their beaks wet. Nice. And then Abby said, oh, yeah, it's been out for like 10 months now. We should probably take that in. Like, I think that's poison now. Yeah. Yeah. The shelf life on goo.

Should we get to know us? yeah yeah yeah get to know us tim yes um you've been on the show twice yes once in once in person and once in winnipeg where you live where it was a beautiful day today yeah and you saw a bird well what beautiful sunny day what kind of bird did you look into the eyes of oh you know what i feel like this is a question for ivan decker a big birder isn't he yeah bird guy talking about birds it was like a small gray bird not an owl not a jay an owl

could also have been a car you know i was on a lot of mushrooms that's why your day was so out of whack i'm going home officer uh no i just i just shared like a nice uh a nice little moment with the bird where i didn't feel like the bird was upset by my presence and i felt like we both were just like yeah it's a nice day hello to you hello yes i'll be on my way now and he's probably the birds probably on their way too yeah because they're they're they migrate don't they yeah when they can where are they going to be going yeah how much further north are they going to get yeah i wonder like are there birds way up north i mean i don't know i can't say for sure but those birds they never get to fly south like they're saying there's no florida for those birds

whatever they are what what birds would be up there no robins or anything like that an owl polar birds yeah yeah owls owls love that shit though owls go nuts for that you know my favorite kind of bird is what's that a bat yeah yeah bats are popular this season that's my favorite kind of bird and whales my favorite kind of fish yeah and i just say don't get your kid a bat as a present on Halloween. It's a lot of people like. The lifetime commitment. Bats live a long time too. Yeah.

It's that hanging upside down. It's super good for you. Yeah. Have you guys tried it? Feels good though. Bats are never like complaining about lower back pain yeah and Dracula was never like oof getting out of a chair

but he doesn't does he hang upside down he sleeps in a coffin he sleeps in a coffin that's right Bruce Wayne slept upside down in the original Batman movie stupid yeah stupid yeah Bruce Wayne was found dead this morning blood pooled in his skull

yeah you're not you know you're not a man bat you're a bad man i like it i like it though i keep all my poo in a pile. Alfred, did you move my poo? Alfred, we're going to start calling it guano now. Could you please do me the kindness? Of course, sir. Classic Alfred. Yes. This is the way in residence

no bruce is on his bruce can't come to the phone right now he's on his upside down toilet um uh so tim it's been it's been a while since you've been on the show yeah i agree how how have things been going i know this year's been weird and upside down and backwards but in general you doing all right out there yeah in general doing all right nice sounds like you're not doing all right specifically yeah let's not get into let's just skirt around a bunch of specifics and keep it at all right yeah all right buddy yeah i don't know man i think a lot of us have have made the most of it i mean i know i know it's been said many times on this podcast people have thanked you for keeping it going throughout the pandemic and uh i just want to say i'm on the other side of that argument it really hurt

watching you guys have fun keep it light every week I'm like why don't you guys talk about the bad things that are happening we do before the podcast and after we meet and have a post podcast meeting debrief that's right

we have fellowship we have coffee and yes coffee clad reef that's right nice uh we have fellowship we have coffee and yes you have a little coffee was it did you tim uh did you grow up in the church like graham and i did i did yeah did you have to go hang out in a gymnasium while your parents drank coffee yeah and they would let me drink coffee too and i remember i was like a six-year-old and i would just put four teaspoons of tablespoons of sugar in it yeah yeah and a bunch of that uh creamer powder you know yeah yes that can't be good for us that's probably

where my blood moves slow your doctors told you you have slow blood. I have slow blood. Oh, man. Check it and see. We also had that every weekend. I believe we had a big tub of McDonald's orange drink. Oh, that's nice. That's nice. At the church. You guys would just sit in it like a hot tub. Dip your feet in it on a hot day.

Soak your feet. Your feet are just dyed orange for the rest of the summer well i got my vitamins for the week oh man that orange drink i wonder if that's i mean you'll find out soon enough being a father is that still around are people still doing orange drink yeah but in that big find out soon yeah because that's you know kids i can't order an orange drink from mcdonald's as an adult mcdonald's they don't it used to be i think kids order the orangest things was it high c or something or crush now they have orange fruitopia oh yeah i'm not a big like not a big promoter of orange drinks but as a kid i would i would drink a whole vat of that stuff it's like remarkable how much brown stuff i drink that's true i was thinking about that the other day like yeah what color do you

drink mostly well talk coffee so toffee and then coffee. You do melt, you have a cup of toffee. Don't talk to me before I've had my toffee. Everyone after church, go have a cup of toffee. Everybody have a big chew. And, you know, your kid will add four tablespoons of sugar to the toffee. Coke's brown coke's brown some beer is brown yeah they uh at the grocery store they had tiny dr peppers this week and i i don't drink soda like tiny cans of it tiny cans of it like now they have small cans of it? Tiny cans of it. Like now they have small cans of things. But I don't go in for that kind of stuff.

But it's good to put the warning out there. Once I saw the Dr. Pepper, I was like, oh, well, I have to do that. Yeah. That's a lot of fun. I think those small cans are exactly the amount of soda that you actually want. You were never given the option to only have a small amount. had to be a can a full size can yeah or a bottle or a bottle exactly then a half a flat bottle tomorrow yeah yeah and uh you know like when you drink one of those the first gulp you're like wow this is the best thing in the world. And by the last gulp, you're like, I feel disgusting.

That's the small ones, which is the perfect size. Why are my teeth soft? Yeah, why are my teeth flapping in the wind? My only issue with those small containers, as though it is perfect quantity-wise, but I just don't like the amount of containers that we have to use and throw out or whatever. I wish they would just have like bulk barn a big barrel of dr pepper you know you can fill your bag dr pepper i have a garbage bag i'd like to fill with dr pepper

because i i like that that's that amount but i want yeah i want my own like a fountain pop yeah yeah yeah what do they call coke freestyle machine freestyle machine i think the the the coke machine that you have to hack yourself oh yeah yeah freestyle yeah you're like minority reporting your drink yes the um uh 7-eleven would do a thing like as a promotion where you could bring in any size container and fill it up with their with soda slurpee yeah yeah so then people would just bring in like you know silly like silly amounts like a kid's pool and stuff like that. Winnipeg is the Slurpee capital of the world. Yeah, what does that mean? It means that we've been tricked by a marketing campaign

into buying Slurpees during the winter. Winnipeg drinks more Slurpees per capita than any other city? That's right. So during those Slurpee days where it's like, bring in whatever you people go nuts yeah it goes when i was a big sugar fiend i would go i would prefer it in the winter because the machines are used less and so they that you get a better quality yeah yeah yeah that's true that's true when's the last time either of you had a slurpee what's today thursday last summer last summer uh you graham oh yeah maybe

like yeah maybe last summer or maybe the summer before yeah i don't think i have it used to be i would have like i would walk past the 7-eleven on the way to high school every day and back. So I would have at least one, but usually one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Same ginormous one.

Yeah. And the, the, like seven levels right across the street, they know what they're doing when they're putting in convenience stores. They like, where's the closest to high school or junior high. Yeah. And it works.

Have you guys ever seen a 7-eleven go out of business yes yes yeah that's sad isn't it it is sad yeah a lot of them have disappeared here yeah really do they put up like little like little wreaths where the 7-eleven was yes yeah and you had to wear a slurpy cup as like a band on your arm yeah there. There's the one that was on Main and 14th that is now a Snackland. Snackland. There's the one that was on Broadway and Manitoba. There's one downtown still. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. There still are some. Yeah, but they're. Oh, and there was the one I walked past to school every day. I think is a subway now. Hmm. Is that a step up or step down what do you think down down step down yeah i guess because 7-eleven has like full-size pizzas now and stuff like that which is if 7-eleven sold a slurpee that was the smell of a subway bread would you drink it yes huh because that is also mostly sugar does it taste like the the smell no it tastes like diarrhea okay because i'm on the record that i love the smell of subway but

i wish that the sandwiches could deliver on that the taste could deliver on that smell yeah so what if it was like a let's say 80 80 transferable and 20 diarrhea yeah i feel like no sorry guana a billionaire's poop i feel like uh huh for some reason i'm picturing in my mind i'm like subway bread i people bad mouth subway bread i love it i think it's so good. Yeah, I love it too. It's never hurt anyone. People think it's like made out of, you know, khaki pants or whatever.

You know, it's made out of that stuff, you know, when you're sitting in your Chevy and you feel something heavy. Yeah, when you're sliding into third and your pants are full of dirt. Yeah, sliding into home and your pants are full of turd yeah sliding to home and your pants are full of foam the foam one to me is the most disgusting of the yeah yeah some people think it's funny but it's really warm and runny some people think it's gross but it's really good on toes would you it comes floating down the gutter on a piece of bread and butter this is the extendo mix subway is there another thing i mean we miss when you're sliding into

first your pants are gonna burst but really you don't slide into first no because you have diarrhea why are you playing baseball would you buy subway bread if they offered it up as like a 12 pack interesting up there that is interesting but you do have to eat it so fast yes yeah what if it was like raw lumps and then you throw it in your oven but you throw it in your six foot tall glass oven with a one big door yeah yeah like you'll have those right do you think that their uh their baking oven is like a special that there's something special about it to make the bread faster or is it just an oven that looks i think it's i think it's it's just to make it so you can cook so many at the same time. It's amazing that they make it all in the store.

It uses the power of convection. Yeah. Subway doesn't get talked about enough on this program, and I like to. It absolutely does. Yeah, I love looking behind the counter and seeing the old italian man flipping the dough up in the air when the moon hits your eye like a six inch italian bmt that's diarrhea i don't understand i think it's part of somebody's act maybe jim gaffigan but there's a kitchen in the back i don't want no like i guess there's chopping vegetables back there but they're not no they're all the vegetables are in a bag that is stapled

shot that they got from cisco systems. What are they doing back there though? Cause there is always a back and you can peer in there and it does look like a kitchen, but then they just, is that the break room or. I, you can't, I can't,

I, it can't be known. It can't be known. It won't be. Yeah. It's one of their six secrets. Tell me the other five. Uh,

number coming in at number five the bathroom uh key actually opens all the doors if you unlock the manager's door you become a manager of subway okay i just speaking of so i googled subway secrets um and uh the uh first result was from a website called so yummy so yummy.com yummy.com 16 confessions uh from subway employees who know all the secrets this seems to be buzzfeed for subway Secret number one. Everything is frozen. Secret number two. The grilled chicken isn't what it seems.

Oh no. Those grill marks on the chicken? Food coloring. Oh really? I thought they at least seared it with like a curling iron or something like that. Curling iron? I had them all and did little serum marks but it's a little clothesline with the little chicken breast uh number three and we're not gonna go through all 16 we'll go through 14 though yeah we'll get 14 15 number three you can

add as many veggies as you want to a sandwich wow what that's not a secret people just order one vegetable afraid that it's gonna when they weigh this at the end it's gonna be super too heavy yeah tomato please just one number four don't get wheat bread if you're trying to be healthy don't go to subway if you're trying to be healthy yeah but remember that was kind of their like anchor thing for a while i was like jared jared because he was the best he was the handsomest man in the world and people like what did you what's your origin story and it was all subway and how it's so good for you yeah now they now they don't they've distanced themselves from that okay okay there's also uh the 12 best subway secret menu

items to order i was wondering about that you've heard about like the mcdonald's one where you can order a mcgangbang well they'll put a junior chicken burger between two mcdouble patties but you have to order a really loud yeah like speak up i like the idea that every mcdonald's is like got their own thing that they can do like yeah no oh you said the word let me just uh fuck up our inventory here i'm just gonna give you a chicken that's supposed to be a chicken and i've ruined that then i have to throw some buns in the garbage like they pull one of the fryer things and a secret door opens in the wall i'm looking at these uh secret menu items they're all they all i don't want to talk about them is there one where you can get it and put in a blender and then served in a big cup oh yeah well it's one of

those hot blenders that makes it makes you a hot blender soup a hot sandwich oh that's great well that's a vitamix does a vitamix those like expensive blenders we got one does it does that does it heat it up is there any kind of heating blender oh so like you put in cold like frozen stuff and then it heats it up or you put in room temperature stuff and it heats it up i don't know seems like that would be extra dangerous to have some chopping machine that also is getting hotter and hotter as yeah i mean hey look i'm not a i'm not a scientist i feel like everybody had a vitamix for a while and do people still, you have one, Tim? I think it's a Vitamix. We got into some cooking shows and got hot for cooking. What do you like? Who do you like?

Rachel Ray? Rachel Ray is great. We watched that movie Chef with, what's his freaking name? Jon Favreau. Jon Favreau, everyone's favorite uh disney employee yes um and uh we watched that show and then he made a whole bunch of uh episodes where he would go into different kitchens and have celebrities made episodes of his movie he made episodes of his movie so there was the movie and then he made like freaking four seasons of a TV

show. Did he really? Where he's like going into different kitchens and with different celebrities and celebrity chefs and they're making dishes. They're like, look at this. This is the kitchen out of Subway. Isn't it fucked up? There's nothing in here. Employees are having sex.

They're using a tray of bread as their bed um uh watch these subway employees get pregnant um the uh i haven't seen that movie i like boy i i haven't seen that one i haven't seen what's the uh tony shalhoub food movie big night big night big night i um i haven't seen any of the big food movies i've seen that one scene in goodfellas where they slice the garlic with with a razor yeah that's really all you need to know everything else is based on that that's the origin story is there yeah and i guess like those are the two i can't think there was one like called eating raul or something like that that i think might have been a cannibal situation yeah um waiting waiting waiting with the with the ryan rey Waiting, I think, is that one where, yeah,

Dane Cook is the line cook or something like that. That's right. Dane Cook is a cook. Dane Cook, as a film star, is the most fascinating era in Hollywood. Yeah. The, like, let's make Dane Cook a movie star. Yeah. And his, what was his one called where he was good luck chuck good luck chuck thank

you um i remember this was a big deal when abby worked at a talent agency because they shot that movie in vancouver good luck chuck yeah and one of the clients at abby's talent agency bc no vancouver washington okay they wanted to do it right over the border from portland because dane cook loved to pump his own gas so specific and loves paying sales tax uh they shot it in vancouver and i remember it was big news of the talent agency that like one agent was had negotiated a lot more money for an actress to show her boobs yes oh my god yeah yeah and so it should be you know if you have to do nude work absolutely yeah this was exciting stuff back then

now i'm yawning um yeah i'm trying to think of other food movies but i'm not oh ratatouille there we go yeah well we saw the bradley cooper ratatouille burnt that's right yeah uh tim if you haven't seen burnt uh do yourself a solid and that was in the movie club right yeah yeah that made the cut yeah yeah the coop club i mean there's there's more like uh eat pray love it's a third of it it's a food movie that's right the first 30 minutes chocolate factory is a big food movie that's true yeah love is in the trailer does she like put a whole eclair in her mouth or something like that i don't know and then it comes out of her butt with like untouched yeah because she prayed for it i've had all my organs lined with teflon and then she's like do you love it do you love it um i uh uh as far as i know lady and the tramp is a food movie

spaghetti western um so tim how's your pandemic been going did i notice on social media that you built a deck your pandemic been going did i notice on social media that you built a deck yes you did notice that uh to uh to completion i built a deck nice that's the way you want to do it that's the way the doctor says oh yeah had you built a deck before um i had not built a deck before it started i built a wood shed out of uh reclaimed wood and wood pallets. That kind of got me started. I built stuff before. When I was in high school, I worked on a framing crew as an after school job.

Who did you frame? Roger Rabbit. Britney Spears. Fatty Arbuckle. Jared from Subway. uh jared from subway it couldn't have been me your honor so yeah i got some experience on the tools and my dad's your favorite tool yeah yeah i thought you were gonna ask this it might be the circ saw but honestly it's probably the flush cut saw what does that do it's like a small little saw with a small like a one and a half inch blade power saw power saw you plug it in uh and it just cuts from side to side and it's really good

for small detailed cuts where you're like i can't get my hand in there or it's a very awkward angle or something like that yeah yeah now does you have you ever used the one like i've seen in home and garden television or whatever that there's one that can sense that a hand is there and it stops right away that's like that they use to um take like a cast off after you broke your arm we're taking you down to home depot because i'm not paying that doctor money we're gonna go down there pretend we're building a deck get them to saw some boards and then while we're there um yeah i've seen it before but i feel like i would get nervous if you start asking me about the whereabouts of john connor or something like that be like why are we giving saws this ability to think

yeah i guess of the robots yeah the song i wouldn't trust a self-driving car and that's trying to get me from place to place but it's a self not mutilating saw yeah that's right what about a self-interested car that it's not it's not self-driving but it's only it only plays the music it likes and it all and it resists places it doesn't like what is it like what kind of music does it like the cars the cars yeah um and then yeah when they drive past the movie theater that's playing cars it suddenly veers off to the side. Crashes through the walls so that it can just watch it. Oh, God.

We all knew this was the risk. Yeah. Isaac Asimov warned us. Yeah, because the first law is that you can't hurt people and the second law is nah you can hurt people come on just kidding um so how like uh you did a deck you also did like your whole renovations in your house yeah yeah yeah we uh um we put up uh we finished the kitchen we put up some subway tiles remember those oh wait yeah not another subway reference you put up the wallpaper from subway yeah yeah the new york landscape from the 80s 90s or whenever

uh yeah put up a couple floating edge shelves those look nice floating raw edge shelves put a deck together uh yeah i don't know i really like building stuff with wood it's satisfying it smells nice when it's a nice wood yeah oh i could talk about wood for another minute or two probably oh yeah you should plug your podcast through a woodcast yeah would sure what would would he do um today we drove past um a uh we were in the suburbs and there was like just uh i don't know some kind of wood processing plant i don't know what it was but there were piles and piles of wood chips and it smelled so good oh yeah yeah the kids the kids thought it stunk oh yeah but they they live in a world where bubble bath is still an option yeah they think everything is that's

an unfair palette to compare chip free to when's the last time you had even a regular bath uh what is it thursday uh i was drinking a Slurpee in it. Yeah. Like a regular bath. You just mean like a bath at home, not like... I mean like not even a bubble bath. Or do you mean like a straight bath? Lost a bunch of bets.

Yeah, you had to take a bath in front of friends. Yeah, well, when GameStock went down, I took a bath. That's for sure. Yes. I don't know. Probably like a year ago, just to see if it was as bad as i remembered it and it was case closed starts hot gets warm gets cold and yeah visibly filthy by the time you're done yeah at what point uh does a bath turn into a hot tub um what's the threshold there

i guess when you buy a hot tub guess when you buy a hot tub? Yeah, when you buy a hot tub. Okay. When kids sneak into your hot tub in the middle of the night. Do you have a hot tub on your deck? No, but a hot tub might be in the future. Nice. We booked this Airbnb out in Riding Mountain National Park.

Yeah, we got some national parks too in Manitoba thank you very much sure beautiful beautiful park we booked this freaking nice little cabin and it had a hot tub and we just tubbed in the morning tubbed at night yeah gross man it felt so

so relaxed but like I think tubs only exist if they didn't figure they didn't you think of how many people have come to that i'd rather not but don't you think the bath is just like it was the thing that was around before showers came and showers were definitively better yeah and then people like no but baths are still good right i'm like no if you're an old west cowboy and you sit there in a small container a couple in a

commercial there's a couple in a tub in a cialis commercial in two side-by-side outdoor tubs that's right oh yeah because cialis is like get close but not too close yeah um you gross perverts yeah we're the only christian uh boner pill the boner bill that wants you to wait for marriage as soon as you're married we're gonna get you as hard as the crucifix jesus was yeah but like right now we're gonna focus on outer course yeah yeah that's right high fives take this take this bill to kill your boner reverse c l yeah the boner suppressor d ls of d ls for when things start popping off and you don't know what to do about it go ask alice one pill makes you boners. They never did do a psychedelic boner commercial, but I think... Go see Alice.

It's kind of like... When you're six inches tall. That couldn't have gone better kudos to both you guys yeah it's it's Viagra and Cialis there isn't a third contender in the field right well what I take is a homeopathic remedy that's a mixture of oregano oil

um a five-hour energy drink and like uh anbasol the stuff to make a baby's gums numb. Oh man, I forgot about Ambosol. I bet you if you went on eBay, there would be some swag from Ambosol. Like the people got at conventions and stuff like that. Oh, tweet, I got an Ambosol polo shirt. I got an Ambosol calendar. 12 months of pain relief no there's just you can just buy tubes of ambasol on ebay uh i don't want these tubes to go to waste i don't know why i bought a 10 pack i only have one kid um had um the uh have you ever tim have you ever been somewhere where they gave away a swag

thing a swag bag or you know things that were like kind of fun but were also like printed with the logo of a bunch of companies oh yeah yeah you ever been to south by i've heard heard good things about the merch rory from hunks uh he's been to south by he's got some great south by stories um but but but i will never be on this podcast he's looking at me right now on the other side please put in a good word for me he gotta get me on that pod man um where like was it a festival or a convention i feel like conventions are convention yeah yeah i used to have a job in the property management uh world of rental properties that kind of thing so every

year there'd be a trade show for all the exciting new developments in property management mostly related to garbage disposal that kind of stuff right um and they would have a big trade show and they'd have all these booths set up and the goal was to collect as many cool pens as you could and some of these pens boys i wish i could show you oh man you don't need ray alice oh yeah yeah you turn it upside down and the and the salesperson's uh patience would wear thin as they told me time and time again that's not to do that nothing would happen whoa not to do that nothing would happen whoa um yeah because i feel like you end up getting a lot of stuff that you wouldn't have

otherwise like a stress ball or something like that yeah you're like i would never buy this usb stick that also um holds your phone that sounds actually pretty handy it does yeah but i didn't get that i just thought of it you just invented it right now yeah i don't need anything to hold my phone oh except for my clutch yeah what else do you keep in there oh lip balm uh bear spray there's a, ambasaur horn. In case I walk into a club and need to announce my arrival. You never know when reggaeton may happen. Yes, exactly.

You got to be ready. What else? What else? What else? What else is going on, Tim? I feel like we haven't really cracked the shell on Tim gray. Yeah, guys, I'm kind of a closed book right now.

Uh, what's the, what's the biggest thing you built this year? Yeah. Other than the deck, the biggest thing that I built this year, other than the deck is like, or like the thing you're the most proud of.

I think I'm the most proud of i think i'm the most proud of i don't know this is uh i built these like dowlings down our stairs because it was just open and then i had to build this thing for these dowlings to hang from so they're like circular wood pieces that we had to stain and then it was tricky to figure out the holes for that. This is you're really painting a good theater of the mind picture. Yeah. Guys like Graham and I who know what

dowlings are and aren't just picturing Tom Bosley as Father Dowling solving a mystery. They're like wood sticks. Circular wood sticks. one inch in diameter yeah like dowels yeah yeah yeah dowels yeah d dowels um the uh you're not building an arc or anything like that i started to uh and then i climaxed too early you know you can get

build a rest during your refractory period. No, one day I'd love to build a boat. I got lots of wood dreams, wooden dreams. Yeah, me too. Man, oh man. More than I'd like. Yeah, I don't know. We've just been really busy with hunks like since the pandemic like once the pandemic started we were in toronto for the sketch festival

i was working on a radio show and a tv show simultaneously so i just had to work i wasn't i couldn't go do you went didn't you i went yeah and the dogs were it was weird because like the dogs are all chained up outside yeah they're telling you like they love it and i guess they do yeah because they're all like bred for it yeah and then they picked like six to go dog sledding with you and they go hard oh they love it yeah that's what they really love yeah yeah it's the going hard. Yeah. Yeah. These are go hard dogs. Yeah.

But then, yeah, she was apparently kept on a pretty short leash and stepped in a barrel outside and didn't have the best conditions. Oh, she didn't like the barrel? Yeah. That wasn't her favorite part. She certainly didn't write home about it. How did you find her? Friends of ours work for, or they've rescued dogs and they foster dogs all the time that come in. If they need surgery in the city, if they're being rescued from up north.

There's that issue with tons of dogs from northern Manitoba. They get sent all across Canada, set up with lots of different resc uh northern manitoba they get sent all across canada uh set up with lots of different rescues and stuff like that there's just an issue with overpopulation the dogs don't get neutered or spayed because the the in the communities up there they don't show old episodes of price is right that's right so they don't know yeah they don't know yet they're still working up to that true carey still he's carrying that torch right he's still so but is anyone watching um that is something that i don't know if that is happening at all during the pandemic right he's right yeah i'll bet you more people would

get their dog neutered spade if like joe biden went on tv and and made a case for it made a kid did you know they were doing the vaccine on tv oh if joe biden went out and brought his dog to be neutered on tv yeah yeah this is a waste of the taxpayers money but uh something freaky i'm an anti neuterer. The only good spade is David. David's the name for your garden spade. On Jeopardy, I watch Jeopardy every day pretty much.

Because of the pandemic. New hosts now? Yeah, a series of new hosts. i'm not quite caught up but they've all their contestants are from california because nobody was able to travel so so they're all like surfers yeah they're all surfers or movie stars like wearing what is bodacious it says here you enjoy tasty waves that's right dr oz but yeah waves that'd be a good name for a restaurant yeah i mean uh i don't know what we'd serve but uh we look, Dave, we're opening this restaurant, but I

just, I've been watching this movie of Jon Favreau in a truck. Um, Dave, what's going on with you, man? Oh, not much. Um, my neighbors. So on one side, there a One side Of our house There's a Family Yeah

That I Talk to from time to time Mr. Wilson Yeah there's a Mr. Wilson Who I torment I antagonize With my Shenanigans

He's so mad I'm always Depicted on Dairy Queen cups And on the other side There's a house that is like a hundred year old house that is i don't know the deal with it like the people who used to live in the basement of it we kind of talked to a little bit and they gave us the rundown that it's like some like a mix of like a rooming house and like long-term rentals and some people

just like rent a room but like mixed use yeah and so there's not like people aren't living there for a long time some people are but some people aren't right so i like at one point i was like oh wow and a mother and her son have moved in but that was for 15 days so weird it's like transitional housing yeah transitional housing or but then there's like people who've been there for years and but i don't know if they even know their roommates like it's very weird right yeah uh and i don't know like i have no idea about the inside of this the layout of this house there's so many people i see coming and going and then we talked to the neighbor one of the neighbors the other day and he was like oh yeah we're uh they're tearing the house down we're all moving out at the end of the month actually at the middle

of the month because he was like i'll be out by the the 20th and uh so and it's even it's gotten even weirder because there were so our neighbor the guy we talked to we've kind of just like he's only been there for about three months and he has two trucks and cool cool does one truck sit in the box of the other truck like it's uh he seems to work with them but he can't he clearly can't drive two at a time no well he could like kind of uh if he had some rope doing that volvo truck commercial yeah and he had like ropes where he's pulling the steering wheel yeah yeah but he um yeah so we know we kind of have a bit of a beat on him of like okay he like truck guy does landscaping with these trucks they're full of ladders and things okay work trucks and he's like kind of cleaned up the backyard of that house a little bit and made

a little place to put the garbage cans oh the backyard was struggling with uh a drinking problem and that was back up on its feet yeah uh and so college and then we saw um so another truck we'd never seen before we pulled up with a u-haul and stayed there for days and we're like okay well i guess people really are moving sure yeah and then this other truck pulled up and in the the back of the pickup truck uh we just saw that they had put a bunch of furniture and covered it with a tarp because it it's just been so rainy here like beverly hill billy's style just like yeah yeah but like you know what looked like a china hutch like this eight foot tall cube on the back and like other stuff all just wrapped up in a tarp

and we didn't know whose truck this was but we were we were looking at it thinking well i hope they they get rid of it soon because you know this is not a uh like the people are going to steal whatever's in the back of this yeah and also you're like this is not not an eyesore to have a giant well whatever garbage sure i mean sure exactly case or us or raw yeah uh but it was like yeah that's a prime target this is not a like it's not a bad neighborhood but people will walk past and be like oh yeah i should steal something from that truck help me get this china hutch i lost it when i was on price is right but now the universe has handed me another chance somebody like opens their

opens their raincoat you want to buy buy a China, China hutch. And I, and then we saw the people who own that truck and they were people who we've never seen before. Did not live in that house. They had a dog. We definitely would have known if there was a dog living in that. Yeah. Yeah.

But they were like going back and forth one day and we saw them get in the truck and get out. And then the truck stayed there for three days, just like wrapped in tarp. And then on the third day, I saw them out there, like rearranging stuff in the back of the truck. It wasn't a china hutch. It was a brand new fridge. Wow. And like a flat screen TV.

Oh my God. This is the most feelable thing in the world. I know. A few other things. oh my god the most feelable thing in the world i know a few other things but like it seemed like from this junky old truck it was like oh this is someone's you know antique water damaged yeah chest of drawers yeah so in conclusion i don't know the mystery continues if it is getting torn down and the day that they tear it down, that's your chance to throw anything out

that you've been dreaming of throwing out but don't want to take to the dump. Like that only lasts like one or two days. Yeah. And then they fence it off, but there's like a sweet period where the whole neighborhood can dump their junk. Yeah, that's true.

I also want to steal some plants. Yeah, steal some plants. Absolutely. From their yard? No. From their yard? No. From the house. I feel like there was a marijuana grow up happening. You just reach in through the window.

Excuse me. I'll take that. So you don't know what's never met your neighbors, never will now. Those people I don't even what never met your neighbors never will now those neighbors those people i don't even think were my neighbors i think maybe they bought like the people selling the house or tearing down the house were like come buy this fridge and flat screen tv or something yeah they're like well i don't have a plan for it but let's go and make the most of it because i have seen the owners of that house and they were not the same people right huh yeah it's

weird like because that's a big thing in vancouver is there will be a giant house that used to be like a mansion then subdivided but like not necessarily brought up to date like a lot of like single pane windows and all that kind of stuff oh yeah i used to live in one yeah me too yeah i used to be that landlord of one but yeah it's like a very i feel like it's a very vancouver specific thing but i don't maybe i'm wrong maybe there's like big subdivided houses in every town but uh i'd never seen them before no i think vancouver's fucked for housing i don't know if you guys have heard much about that but vancouver's pretty fucked you heard about that over there oh we hear i heard about that this morning oh wow a matter of fact i had this big conversation with somebody about ridiculous housing situation in vancouver yeah no doubt because winnipeg is like the um dream yeah of like oh yeah you could buy buy a house for a hundred thousand

dollars or whatever yeah maybe not you can buy a house on a on a lowly comedian salary um i like that's how i like my comedians i like them lowly i don't like them getting on my face i have one neighbor across the back lane and i've been thinking about neighbors lately i i feel we feel pretty blessed with the neighbors that we do have they're definitely a mixed bunch and they're a bunch of characters but there's nobody that like i was i have this new job and i was working in this suburb area today you know stucco housing that kind of stuff cul-de-sacs and whatnot and uh it's like a quiet ish area there's no like major highways around there but i could just hear someone's like loud bass pounding all day and it just reverberated through the whole neighborhood at some point

someone else was like practicing bass guitar with their window open nice it's just so it was just the base neighborhood this is a base suburb i think it's the base suburb yeah yeah oh also i saw a different neighbor moving out of this house loading like a drum kit into a van nice and i never heard drums the whole time i lived here like probably whoever lives with them is like we're moving the drums again that's uh you didn't seem to like them the whole time we've lived here i i love them you didn't like show me how you paradiddle prove to me um so yeah that's uh and i look forward to a house being turned down. Yeah. Without warning.

Yeah. Without warning one, one morning at seven 30 in the morning. Yeah. Um, but then I'm sure it'll go up real quick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They always do.

You thinking a condo, a house? What do you guys think? You know what? I think they might do condo. They might just build like a giant, like a 10 story, one condo per floor. Well, they didn't sell it so i don't know like it's not the i'm curious yeah can you like go to the city and ask about other people's building permits yeah i think you're allowed to you're allowed to get all up in their business

you can actually single and uh who's i mean i wouldn't want to get up in their business i would just want to know and then do nothing do nothing with it yeah i do i'm tempted to go on like open houses when i see them just to see what yeah the lay of the land is you know see how the other half yeah exactly fridge and freezer boy Oh, you're yelling. Shwing. If it's anything like Winnipeg, all the building permit information is. It's nothing like Winnipeg. Let me stop you right there. Readily available on a website.

So what should I do? Go to Winnipeg.com and look up my neighbor. What's going on with you, Graham? Not a lot, but this past week, I sat down for two two-hour chunks. I took in the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League. And let me tell you. First of all, I want to preface it with saying I could never make a movie. And they made the movie quite well. I could ever make a movie i understand before you uh you're like eminem at the end of eight mile like yes uh my girlfriend did cheat on me and i did get my ass

kicked i have a friend named cheddar bob who Bob who shot himself in the foot. Yeah. Okay, now what do you got, Zach? So the thing about this movie is that, first of all, it's four hours long, which is insane. It's the most insane. It's like the Irishman was insane. But this is, the other thing is it's broken up into chapters. So it knows that it's a miniseries. It knows that it's not a movie.

Even though a movie's been foisted upon it, it doesn't want to be. Had you seen the original Justice League? Yes, on an aeroplane. And how long is that? Like two and a bit, I think. But Zack Snyder had to leave the production in the middle of it because his child passed away and so he he left the the project then they brought in joss whedon who finished it and then

snyder has always said like and this is rob schneider we're talking about this is i thought it was the fred schneider cut where batman's on a tin roof rusted schneider cut where batman's on a tin roof rusted um but like okay right out of the right out of the gates the one thing that i was like well why would they do that is batman he wears his bat helmet right and it is his fat hat his fat hat who's that fat hat and he the the hat has crow's feet and has like a brow and i was like why would they add in that detail was that added why was it how do you what in what well i mean whoever made the thing like the assumption is that bruce wayne and laughs a lot yeah that him and alfred made this thing and alfred be like you are not that young put some corn or feet on there some corn put some corn feed in there corn meal help you to get attract the crows push their feet into the mold. Exactly.

Well, I mean, didn't the Batsuit famously have nipples at one point? Yes, it did have nipples at one point. And then I think it had pubes once. Yeah, it had pubes. But like sticking up the sides, like comically. Like it was the when Batman was only

wearing underwear and didn't have any bare legs this is Batman's greasy pubes so yeah that's insane he goes to use his batarang or whatever my belt's too tight. So, in the basis of the movie, it's like Superman is dead.

Sing it, Dave. Y-E-I-E-I-E. Yeah. Superman's dead. Yes. I also would have accepted. Superman never made any money yeah um so wallace and gromit

so winnipeg zone crashed his dummy that's right yeah uh so superman has uh passed away and so batman is putting together a super team because of some cosmic thing where they have to get three boxes together and did this come out after superman versus batman yes okay okay yeah so he mended their fences yeah except that he's he's dead so that there was no fences to be mended superman's dad so so the the cast of characters so this is like the cast of characters first he goes to he already knows wonder woman from work i guess so they met at superman's wedding yeah it's a trade show a trade show for superheroes so uh he and wonder woman are recruiting people for the justice league and the first one they go to is aquaman they go to some village where Aquaman comes and helps.

He brings fish to the village. Right, right, right. Why wouldn't he teach them to fish? He only wants to be the control freak. Yeah. No, you'll eat when I tell you. Yeah. I need you.

He wears the nice, like in the movie, he wears the nicest sweaters and coats and boots that there it's like a it's like a catalog shoot he's wearing man does yeah fish man yeah when he when he's on the surface and then he takes off his gear and then you get to see jason momoa the way he's meant to be seen in a four three aspect radio ratio yeah that is weird yeah so he uh doesn't want to he doesn't want to be part of the justice league and he swims away and then a whole all the women in the village sing a song together after he's left and one woman goes and picks up the sweater and starts smelling it so i've been told that wasn't in the original cut but this was okay okay who is zach snyder

he did so i know he did uh he's done like a lot of superhero movies he did 300 he did right uh bam ever did he do the sin cities no he did the watchman one oh okay um which and there was also sin in that city absolutely are you kidding me yeah could have been called that as well there's sin in every city even in small town even small town uh i guess there's murder in the small towns so winnipeg's been sin free since uh thursday boy thursday is a big touchstone for you i love it thirsty thursdays must watch tv so they get aquaman and he's right he doesn't want to be part of the just elite he swims away and uh he's like the teenager like an angsty teen sort of no he's like a full-grown adult

there is a teen involved he's the flash okay okay and the flash dave do you remember like the movie twister that phil seymour hoffman have you never seen it i have not okay but we did talk about it i think maybe in the episode we just lost a couple weeks ago yeah oh okay have you seen it oh i've seen it a bunch yeah so you know that ph that Philip Seymour Hoffman, he plays a really annoying character that's supposed to be a funny character. Yeah. Somehow it got lost in translation. That's what The Flash is in this movie.

The Flash says all these funny things that are like the not funniest. Like Zack Snyder's movies aren't funny. There's no like room for hilariousness. They're all dour. Sweater sniffing. Sweater sniffing. Yeah. But here's the thing this is this his two big tricks he slows everything down yeah and then once in a while speeds them up

those are his two tricks and uh he does it a lot and uh the plot you know like it's like a big mcguffin he's like three squares or whatever uh which you should eat three squares a day um three hots on a cot just the fact that he has to collect three things you're like ah who gives a shit right like they're obviously gonna win yeah uh who are they what are they what's going on it's like at stake the whole the world and there's like a guy who wants to make it have power over the universe and you know and it's like why you've already got power like where you're sending people all over the place that how much power do you need like just knock it off man stop sending people to give you more power what are you tim allen anyways the movie ended and i i was like oh i didn't think it was ending i thought it was

that there was going to be like a few more scenes and then the movie ends and then before the trailer there's just two scenes that aren't related to the movie at all that i guess he bloopers it's like zach trying to return some parts of the movie set so he can get a refund okay uh so anyways there's two scenes at the end of the movie that have nothing to do with anything but i think they were shot to be like coming up soon this is serving up the stuff for the sequel yeah i just i googled him on imdb but just something you can do oh he did a ghoul as well i was he did yeah the only movies of his i've seen are watchmen and sucker punch oh he did sucker punch i forgot about that which was uh this the like crime fighting horny supergirls yes horny supergirls and i guess they're not horny the

people watching the movie are horny i i remember watching that and that was maybe like oh i'm an adult i can want to leave a movie now yes like i'd never in my life seen him been in the theater and thought why why would people walk out of a movie yeah yeah i guess i can i could just go get some food i like yeah the um yeah so anyways it's four hours of my life and i want it's in it's in standard definition or it's like four by three yeah it's why is that i don't know i don't like i don't understand the whole thing because abby watched it yeah i don't know if she finished it but she watched it and it was like the it when you watch it on demand uh the for like in the description of the movie the first thing it says is don't adjust your screens this is in four by three right yeah right like yeah it's just like so it's so grim like even superman is wearing a black costume in it for the whole movie so

i thought he was dead yeah he comes back to life and then it's only in like three hours of it and i think this was the movie where he had to get his mustache digitally removed because he was uh filming mission impossible who um who joins the justice league aquaman wonder woman so they could they convince aquaman eventually shows up but the weird thing about aquaman is all of the battle scenes are on land so his powers are not being used at all maybe if he had like a jug of water he could have done he's kind of done some damage at the end does he like dump a gatorade over alfred or something like that and alfred hydrated yeah pneumonia um water boy he's not gatorade man

um the flash the flash flash ricky and the Flash. Ricky and the Flash. They're both there. And then a guy that I never heard of before called Cyborg. And he's... First name Cy? Last name Borg. Yeah. He was in the hair club for a minute. I know the Cyborgs.

How are they doing? They just built a deck. So the Cyborg, it's in the movie his character's being invented in that in that movie so it's also like his origin story on top of a movie my children watch this show called teen titans go uh that is a cartoon about young robin and four other superheroes and one of them is cyborg oh yeah okay so i never heard him before but it's like a very silly manic pixie dream kid show this thing he can he can get his fingers into a computer and then he can like fix the computer with his brain he's a hacker

yeah no he just fixes computers he has a fix a chop that's a genius maybe yeah he works at the genius bar people bring in their broken ipads and he just feels it and goes you dropped this in the toilet didn't you the ipad knows anyways so i watched that movie and uh so you said you watched it in two parts yeah because you can't like anybody who watched it in one part i'd be very worried about their their health hey what's the longest movie you've ever watched him the longest movie i've ever watched probably the godfather twice back-to-back godfathers the godfather part twice yeah i think the longest one i've seen before this

was the irishman i tried washing the irishman i tried washing the irishman trying and he won't stay still no i remember people in the late 90s used to brag about seeing that kenneth brana four-hour hamlet yeah i did see that i did see that that was mel gibson no it's kenneth oh kenneth brown wasn't the director oh i see he became a director and a star yeah i think he was the whole i think what was mel gibson in he was also in the hamlet he was in the hamlet okay oh yeah i remember watching that Kenneth Brown. Oh, Hamlet in theater school and being like, this is good.

This is very good. This is very good. I remember on a field trip, we went and saw, uh, the Scarlet letter. We saw like a movie version of it with Winona Ryder in it. Oh, Winona Ryder or,

um, Demi Moore. Oh, maybe it was Demi Moore. The Scarlet Letter with Gary Oldman? No, this was, maybe it wasn't the Scarlet Letter. What was Salem, I think it was called. It was like the witch trial thing.

Oh. Anyways, in the first five minutes, one of the characters that appears on screen also played the Commandant in Police Academy. Oh, sure. Lessard? Lessard. And my friend next to me started making sound effects and uh we were both told to leave until we could calm down uh man oh man was that that's like one of the funniest cameos i've ever seen

yeah was it the crucible? The Crucible. Yes. Yeah. The Crucible. And I, you know, I know the whole movie except like the half hour chunk where my friend and I were in the... Exactly. That's actually pretty good. That is pretty good.

Dave, for somebody who doesn't do it professionally, it's pretty good. Well, I... You've been working on it. I've been working... I've had a lot of time to practice. Yeah. Yeah. Should we move on to some overheards?

So there was this one time we were playing in this uh neighborhood we just finished the game uh packed up my skates and stick walking away and there was like these uh i don't know 12 13 year olds you know some scary teens um uniform yeah terrifying terrifying teens having a good time and i walked by one of them, and they were talking about online schooling. And the one kid was like, yeah, it sucks. I can't. I hate the online schooling. You know, it's like class starts, and next thing you know, I'm playing Mario Kart.

Yeah. I don't know which end end is up here you know yes i can't control myself i mean like here's a question if you if you were in high school when this pandemic happened would you think it was the coolest or would you think it was like having to hang out with your folks all the time and awful depends what the age i was no like it's a teenager like yeah but like a 13 year old or a 17 year old yeah let's split the difference a 15 year old oh boy i i think i would have yeah we could have given each other our space like i think i would have liked the but i had a lot of

alone time yeah and i think that i would like that yeah and you could have although but like summer vacations they do like as much as i love i loved uh you know having eight weeks off that by that that by the end of it you're really right aching for a the human touch yeah of a bully human touch i've been having to pound myself in the face and you know what it just doesn't feel like the real thing um dave do you have an overheard educating um i was uh today my overheard this is not exactly related to it but today i took my children um because it's spring break

yeah i took my children to south beach was mtv still broadcasting from there yes so i took my student to south pedro island such a chore and went on all the boats but uh no we went to this place called clip and climb tell me all about this is like they try to give your kid a haircut well yeah that's what i thought it was that they get haircuts and then i go up on the climbing fake wall no you you put you wear a harness and you clip your you get clipped into the harness i literally thought the same thing that tim thought that's amazing it was it's uh actually very cool like i remember as a kid like

doing mountain climbing stuff but the harness was so weird and like the person had to be on the ground directing you this is like you as long as you have a grown-up with you or you're you have grown-up hands you clip uh your harness into this like it's basically like a seat belt that comes from the ceiling okay and you climb the wall and then you let go and you just slowly get lowered down that's very nice yeah and it sounds like something you could get a physio like climb this wall and then it'll gently and there were like there's like 30 different different kinds of things to climb okay and then different structures yeah there was structures are like you know you're climbing a rock face or you're climbing a uh just like these you know squares in the wall like sometimes it's 3d sometimes it's a flat surface sometimes you're like doing a kind

of like a uh uh parkour thing up some steps it was fun oh sounds fun i mean i didn't do it it would it's fun if you're ages 7 to 10 yeah yeah my kids were a little little young for it uh but it was we've used the whole hour and did they love it yeah yeah okay the clip and climb is the exact type of alliteration uh an affordable hairstylist would use yeah that's right yeah that's you know what I think this was affordable. Yeah. The Clip Cafe. Yeah, that's right. But anyway, on the ride home, not related to this at all. We got the backstory. This is the Zack Snyder edit. By the way, we're only 90 minutes in.

There's still another two and a half hours of this podcast. There's still another two and a half hours of this podcast. Um, we, so we were driving home and I, uh, I drove past this, uh, vape store.

Okay. And, uh, it just seemed like a funny name for a vape store, uh, because vape places all have like, you know, uh,

puns and all, all based around vape, like Darth Vapor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vaperal O'Neil. Planet of the Vapes. Planet of the Vapes. And this one, it just tickled me because it didn't have any pun at all.

And it was called Fatty Fog Vape Bar. Oh, man, that's a nice one. Oh, man, I'll meet you at Fatty Fog. Fatty Fog Vape Bar. Oh, man. That's a nice one. Oh, man. I'll meet you at Fatty Fog. Fatty Fog? Fatty Fog. What's a vape bar? Is that just where you all sit around like hookah pipes kind of thing?

It did not seem like it was in a neighborhood where you would get a lot of locals coming by. I was heading down to the local and going to vape. vape for an hour vape my cares away i think you i assume any vape place the one time i bought vape juice for a for a smell test we did on a live podcast um was uh it did not seem like a place where you would hang out yeah i went into like a weed store recently and it's so it's amazing how fast it became like sleek like yeah like whenever just before it was legalized you go in and they'd be like it was always kind of grungy and there was like glass pipes everywhere and now it's just this coat with like yellow stains Whenever just before it was legalized, you'd go in and it'd be like, it was always kind of grungy. And there was like glass pipes everywhere.

And now it's just this. Lab coat with like yellow stains around the neck. Yeah. Yeah. But now they're like so, they're so nice. Like they're like better than an Apple store. You don't hear a lot of commercials about ring around the collar anymore why not also i never understood lipstick on the collar like wasn't that the most easily avoidable to like get your lips off of my fucking collar stop sucking on my shirt

oh i love this shirt oh it tastes like martinizing um do you uh why were you in a weed store graham uh i was uh i was looking to buy some um uh like a cannabis uh what do you call it not the tincture that makes you like crazy but the other way thc that's a bdc tcm turner classic movies right i didn't want i didn't want to feel like humphrey bogart for two hours yeah i didn't want to smoke my girl friday you were gonna have some cbd yeah i have some cbd and it's nice it's nice cbd's nuts yeah yeah that's exactly what i said when i ordered it i was like and he laughed and he gave me a discount um do you have an overheard i do mine uh is take i went to go get some uh blood drawn and voluntarily yeah voluntarily my doctor for some reason this is weird he calls

them stabs and i was like that would not alleviate the fear of somebody who's afraid of neil that you keep calling them stabs yeah are they from the uk uh no i think they call them jabs there they call them yeah yeah um so anyways i was uh prescribed to go I had to go get some stabs it's like a haircut place where people are constantly trying to stab you that's how we get by a price of love there's no

talking about a haircut happening just people trying to stab you in the scalp yeah and make fun of your jeans it's like an escape room you just go like with a group oh man they try to stab you so much yeah um so i went to the the like lab to have uh mys. A stab jab lab? A stab jab lab. I was stabbing in the lab late one night. And there was like you had to go up to the desk and say your name and your

date of birth. And there was an old guy who came in and he was so you could tell that he was like just a silly silly man nice because uh he walked up to the counter and they said okay uh that's your name and uh what's your birthday and he went same day as pearl harbor december 7th 1941 that's right but the uh the attending uh clerk she did not know a day that would live in infamy

but i just never saw pearl harbor was showing ben affleck at ben affleck and cuba gooding jr yeah nice right beautiful kate beckinsale oh yeah oh and what's his name with the dusty eyes peter forsberg um yeah so did you know the date offhand no i wouldn't have got it right either would you but you have gotten within a year probably yes i would if i probably would have guessed the year but uh and then the funny thing is because he was too over for me getting the jabs and stabs and he he started he was like uh talking to the phlebotomist saying uh he was saying uh you probably think i'm really

old right you probably think i should sound like i'm really old i'm an old guy so anyways that guy ruled that guy rules he's he'll be 80 this year he's gonna be 80 this year yeah that's all you know what that used to be the oldest you could be yeah i'm glad they changed that rule well it was like once you hit 80 you were you went back in time no that was 88 once you hit 70 i think you were like 100 yeah yeah yeah uh i uh can i tell you another overheard from a long time ago that i just thought of uh that is related to a jab uh i was also getting my blood withdrawn uh with you guys loving jabs yeah i just get them and then just say uh pour it on the ground i just i wanted to feel something is what i said a little love for

my homies yeah uh and i asked like the the blood bottomistbotomist come on that's vampire yeah i said like do people like faint sometimes you know like a little i mean i'm always nervous getting it stuck in my arm but uh uh she's like yeah i had this one guy in uh uh last week and he was this big biker he's like six foot two and leather jacket covered in tattoos and stuff like that and as soon as i put the needle in the guy said oh here i go and collapsed over i like that he called his shot yeah yeah here it comes here i go like he has like a five four three two uh now we also have overheard sent in to us by the way have any of you uh gotten the vaccine yet
