It was just... Yes, seven to 25 other guests. I'm not sure still. But it was really just a roller coaster. Did you love it, or was it confusing for you? I you i loved it yeah it turned out really well dave loves roller coasters it was a really good like uh vibe of that many voices like everyone kind of gave each other some space yeah it wasn't as i thought it was going to be absolute chaos but it was more like chaos the rapper which is really good he's really yeah yeah

that that was our theme be more like chaos the rapper yeah yeah alicia i want to ask right off the bat is hank a good boy he's the best of the worst dogs he's a good boy he tries really hard yeah he saw a cat today and like when he sees a cat his little mind just gets so blown by the idea that this this animal exists on the same planet as him so funny like every time same the reaction never lessens oh did he see the cat uh like were they both outside yeah pretty close to each other like the cat? Like, were they both outside? Yeah, pretty close to each other. Like, the cat was in the neighboring building's yard. And he gave him.

Just asking for it. Paid him no mind. He just couldn't give a shit about Hank, which is exactly the energy we need. Now, Alicia, you are somebody, you know everybody in your building you you you're like on a first name basis with a bunch of people even people that don't live in your building that you know their dogs yeah and uh you see them in the neighborhood i know you that's the only person i know you're my conduit to the rest of the neighborhood yeah it's at embarrassing levels now like before the pandemic it was under control when i moved to

this building from my last apartment i was like i don't want to get to know anybody i just want my privacy and uh then you're a very private person and then like people think because you're a celebrity that you're just like this they know your public persona yeah and i just feel like very i might try to be neighborly and there's a lot of neighbors and so now yeah i know a lot of people in the neighborhood yeah because like i say i don't know i've tried i've tried to make friends in the building they don't they want no part of it and i think the only people who are trying to be friends are the ones who are upstairs who are my nemesis. Oh yeah. I can't wait for this week's update on the, on what's going on building wise. Yeah.

Your enemy baby. Yeah. Baby. My neighbors, I think because of pandemic and everyone being home all the time, I'm learning more about my neighbors that I didn't know. learning more about my neighbors that i didn't know like last sunday it i the weather was nice so i was outside on in my yard and i could just hear my neighbors singing hymns oh wow i didn't know that about them didn't i did like i didn't know they went to church uh because i maybe they like go to a church where you just wear your shorts oh they're baptists like i remember when i was a kid going to church and having to

dress up and being so jealous of the kids who just got to wear whatever they wanted jogging pants their cargo shorts they're in my neighborhood during the first kind of couple months of the pandemic there wasn't very much traffic there was there's usually a pretty steady stream of traffic noise but there was no traffic and there was one kid like half a block away that was trying to learn guitar and he sucked so bad but the whole neighborhood could hear in practice clink clonk clink clonk dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind

I when I was learning guitar I like it was the early 90s but I was still learning like Jimi Hendrix and whatever like Smoke on the water and yeah the classic riffs but i do like young guitarists still learn that or they're just learning the like little surf guitar bits from toxic by britney spears yeah i think the second one all the sheet music you can buy now is Britney Spears. I think that's maybe the last hit song that had any guitar in it.

Yeah, well, I mean, country music, still leaning heavy on the guitar. But yeah, this kid gave up after, like, I think a month. Then all of a sudden it went quiet. So either he turned the amp off or... Tragedy. Yeah, it was some tragedy tragedy yeah how do you know it was a child because it was just you i don't know i guess you're right it could have been an adult but it's true yeah uh it felt like the tenacity of a of a kid and then the giving up of a kid when i remember i i'm pulling out my guitar now for this here we go when i this is dave song corner the when i had my first electric guitar i was gonna get a new electric guitar so i

sold my first one and a guy showed up at my house i was like 15 and just a man came to my house what a weird world he plugged it in and he just played this okay yeah i'll take it oh wow just just the lead guitar from zombie you can play this song right because it's absolutely critical i can play this song on this guitar. Yeah, that's great. That's great. Did either of you try to pick up a hobby during this time? No.

Yeah, me neither. No, I didn't either. I don't know. I spent a lot more time on Craigslist looking at stuff that was for sale on Craigslist. That hobby already existed, that exists you know what he took up and i i uh is i started watching horror movies which is not a thing that i ever did before okay and now like i now i can't get enough i love i don't like gory things but i like something suspenseful you know like a thriller like a thriller or like a ghost thriller because you're thinking of michael jackson's

thriller it's a scary video yeah the scariest music video tell me one scarier probably that prodigy one where he's in the sewer oh i've never seen it it would be too scary for me i don't like scary oh good yeah yeah fire starter yeah fire starter yeah he uh yeah he's he was scary he was a scary man he's no longer with us yeah but michael jackson well michael jackson and the guy from the prodigy oh wow yeah moment of. They're out there jamming in heaven. Yeah. Match made in heaven. I love that on DMX's funeral procession that his casket was on a monster truck. And why is he the first person to have that? That seems like a thing that every wrestler should do.

And, you know, maybe even country music stars should do. I'm surprised he's the first I've ever heard of that's done that. Huh. Is that what you want? No, I want to be thrown in the trash. No, sir. I like the dump. That's where I want to spend my time.

You do. I'm going to flush you down the toilet at a value village. You want to be thrown through one of those waste paper basket basketball hoops off the backboard. Thud, thud. Wait, are you cremated or not cremated? Your shoulder's going through.

No, cremated, but then, you know, sent off in a bag to the dump so I can hang out with with all the good stuff that comes in. Yeah, a broken stapler. Number one dad mug. You didn't pick up any hobby at all? I'm not a hobby person.

I never have been. Like you never have had a hobby ever? I like baking, but that's like, I don't know if that's a hobby because he you know you eat it what other hobby do you eat good gingerbread house that's also baking that's also baking yeah um and now I'm just thinking of edible things that you could make but that's all back into baking and I got back into reading two things I really enjoy yeah oh yeah what's your favorite word pussy but that's all baking too. I got back into baking and I got back into reading. Two things I really enjoy. Yeah? Oh yeah? What's your favorite word? Pussy.

And the next to that is tongs. Tongs? Tongs is such a great word. It is a good word. Tongs. Is there a singular of it? Do you say tong or is it a tong?

Pass me the tong. Yeah, one tong please. One tong. Yeah, one tong, please. One tong for my friend here. What type of books do you like? That's a really good question. I like these Uncle John books that you often see them in the field of Athens them i like the dr phil diet books a lot i like those those are real good um i sort of like non-fiction uh historical non-fiction um but it depends as i just haven't been reading a lot of fiction which i did before

It depends. I just haven't been reading a lot of fiction, which I did before. Right. Yeah, the last time I tried to read a book of fiction, I was like, I got a chapter in and I was like, these people didn't exist. So someone made this up. Yeah. Why are you wasting my time? This is all bullshit.

This is just one person thought of this and I'm supposed to read it and other people have told me it was good. Yeah. But then with nonfiction, I feel like, uh, like I have to pay attention. Like it's a class or something like that.

Like they, they're talking dates and, and names and places. I'm like, uh, it gives me that studying anxiety. Oh yeah. I could see that i don't um

to each his own i don't know how to answer that but um that's fair that is yeah i don't i just enjoy reading and it's been a nice break because i used to just love to watch hours and hours of tv it was so it was such a treat now it's just uh the only choice yeah have you um i was thinking about this uh like the meal i've made for myself or the thing i've made for myself the most during pandemic uh is a uh poppy seed bagel with cream cheese uh cherry tomatoes and cucumbers and a little bit of salt and so much pepper oh yeah this sounds really good so good dave i have it two or three times a week and i i now like i was making it the other day and i was thinking oh i bet in a few years when this is over i'm gonna look back and like i'm gonna make this for myself and like reminisce about the pandemic

is there a thing you've made more than anything else? Yeah. Well, it's something I've made that I hadn't made. It may be in my adult life. And I made maybe three or four times. What's just hot dogs. Like you grill them up, you steam them. What do you do?

It's frying pan. I also tried them in the air fryer. Pretty good. Yeah. So that like was really delightful. The first couple of times I did it. But then because I live alone, I would just have like six hot dogs to eat or like eight hot dogs. And so I would just be like eating hot dogs for breakfast, hot dogs for lunch, hot dogs for dinner for two days because I didn't have any other plan. So no more hot dogs.

I think the thing I've made a lot for myself are like the veggie pate sandwiches with sprouts and sliced tomato which i really love or fried egg sandwiches still love them yeah yeah the um with the hot dogs do you know that you can put them back in a plastic and put it in your freezer but the thing is is like i have to buy these awful gluten-free buns oh yeah and they're gonna go and they're just like it's not the best part is the hot dog the worst part is the bun and right hot dogs for gluten-free buns gluten-free buns are sold in packages of four and hot dogs come in packages of eight and i just i don't really know i could have googled like what to do with these hot dogs

but just hot dogs on their own dipped in a bit of mustard are pretty delicious yeah yeah and was hank ever like i gotta learn to talk so i can tell her she can give me the hot dogs oh he got hot dog for sure a little bit he always gets human food he's that dog yeah he's a fancy boy he gets what does he get he gets some chicken he gets uh you get a little bit of cheese uh i don't eat cheese so no but if i get something with cheese he gets it does he get egg all the time yeah all the time he gets egg he gets roasted chicken he's a he's always been a picky eater so uh if he hasn't been eating he'll definitely get like eater so uh if he hasn't been eating he'll definitely get like maybe some steak i'm so embarrassed i'm so i apologize to the listener um that's my own devices i'm not smart with money

i'm not making great decisions um but i love the idea that it's like well if he's not gonna eat i might as well give him the best thing that i get him to eat and then i can give him his like painkillers or it's usually like he gets those things around needing to take some sort of dog medication um but yeah he'll get an egg if i'm getting it if i'm making eggs he'll get some he'll get a little plate of eggs for sure nice yeah i mean he's he's hopefully gonna live until he's about 14 i want him to enjoy most of his like every moment of his life that I can make better, I'm going to do it. Nice. How old is he now? He's going to be five in October.

Okay, nine more years. Okay. What are you... Are you counting down? You have the guard ready, the sympathy guard. Are you going to do anything fun for his birthday? Dog birthday party? No. You know, he gets treats all the time but usually christmas he gets like christmas presents and people send him like

like graham's mom sends him a christmas present most years and my mom sends him a christmas present and that's good yeah are your moms not well my mom loves sending stuff she she's always at the post office she loves it yeah like this year sent me three christmas cards yeah that's a love of separate cards yeah uh yeah um i think i have some cookies in the mail as we speak yeah well you like you know that joke about how like oh your mom like go on about like the mailman going around impregnating me kind of like yeah i guess the idea of it sure i don't know is there a link there you could stretch it yeah I think we landed somewhere nice with that whole thing

I don't want to say anything so I've been very respectful up until now the respectful you mama battle I don't want to say that your mama's big but she's got a glandular problem

sure yes has she had her thyroid checked that your mama's big, but she's got a glandular problem. Yeah. Sure, yes. Has she had her thyroid checked? Yeah. Does she have the Betty Draper disease? Yeah. Sure, I mean, like, your mother, look,

I'm not so smart myself. So it's like, far be it from me to call your mother stupid. But I heard she saw, she went to a movie theater and the side said no one under 18 admitted and she came back with 17 friends this is just what i've heard i don't know who told you that

but it is is it true i remember being in elementary school and somebody saying the the like old old timey thing that your mother wore army boots and i was like what does that mean like i knew i was supposed to be offended but i was like what my mom doesn't wear any kind of boot ever what is this kid talking about and what does it mean yeah is it a really old-timey burn yeah like but is it like pre-women being able to be in the army? Oh, for sure. I feel like it's like also just like the way in like a mafia movie, a guy might just be like, your mother. And just like, that's it. Like not even finish the sentence.

Yeah. And you're like, where's army boots? I know, I guess. Yes, of course. Yes. Thanks again for reminding me. Your mother wears army boots because, yeah, I mean, what, is she supposed to wear high heels

yeah i guess or barefoot or some sort of croc i guess crocs were around when i was a kid but yeah your mother wears crocs that's great leave it there i love it yeah um well like i saw some kids on a playground like a year ago and they were doing one of them said na na na boo boo and i was like how the fuck did that how did that stick around who's teaching their kid that yeah i guess eh yeah i heard kids singing the like ring around the posy song the other day and i was like it's so haunting i'm like still we're still singing this song yeah Yeah. The song about the plague? Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, I'm the king of the castle and you're the dirty rascal. Like, it's the same shit.

Get your own bits, kids. Yeah. But you know what? Kids think they're inventing these things. They don't have any. By the time they grow up, then they'll want to tell it to their kids. Like, they have to have a few christmases of jingle bells before they like get into batman smells yeah is margo in the batman smells arena no we haven't done that yet she's big into deck the books called dog man they're these little comic books

and they're um they're terrible like uh they're so fart heavy and poop heavy right but like before they came along she could barely read and now she is a great reader so what am i gonna do and there's some pretty uh there's a pretty funny uh poop songs in there okay yeah well you want to you want to encourage your kid reading no matter which way even yeah i guess so even if she's just reading the like remote control instructions you're like just fine yes great i had a friend who's uh he was like kind of a bad student and his parents realized the only thing he would read was mad magazine so they bought him every mad magazine they could get their hands on garage sales and swap meets and all that kind of stuff he had so many mad magazines

and we'd read them and we wouldn't get any of the jokes. That was one thing that was for sure. It'd be like a parody of Chips. And you're like, what the fuck is Chips? We definitely had that. I don't know how many parody of Chips Mad Magazines there were, but there was one of them in my house. Yeah?

Did you read Mad growing up? My brother did and uh i didn't get any of the jokes but i really loved the illustration like there's they were so good yeah um the fold and i really like the fold and yeah i uh i got a box of mad magazines somebody gave to me and they all the fold-ins hadn't been done. Yeah. If there was any left, let me at them. So one of my favorite places on the internet is Wikipedia. I don't know if you know about it.

I don't. But there are two entries. One is list of film spoofs in Mad Magazine and one is list of television show spoofs in Mad Magazine. Can you guess what they called the spoof of chips? Craps.

Chimps. It was chimps. It was chimps. Yes. Well done, Alicia. chimps it was chimps it was chimps yes well done alicia but then like did they have to follow through with it all being ape material no i don't think so i think uh i get a different writer to do the title. I remember Seinfeld was Swinefeld, and there was nothing about pigs in there. Swinefeld is pretty good.

What is Slimefield? Slimefeld's good. I always thought a good mad name for Judd Apatow would be Crud Cravatow. Guys, I just looked up. It's actually Swinefields. Oh, Swinefields. Okay. What's the deal

with Alfred E. Newman? What? Him worry? I gotta stop looking at these. I gotta keep my mind. Friends was fiends. Wow. Ouch. Dr. Quinn, medicine woman. Dr. Quack, modern woman.

Xena was Zima. Like the drink? Like the drink. Oh, man. Big part of my childhood there the droop carrie show that's really good that is really good the um uh when i was a kid you could get coconuts you could get uh a book that was just spy versus spy. Like it was just, but those were like, that's not big.

That's can't make a book, but it did. Yeah. I mean, that was a cartoon in every, in every, um, magazine.

Yeah. Sorry. Thanks. And it was one of the ones that had no words in it. So you could, that's true. Even I could read it. Yeah.

It's, uh, like, I guess kids now aren't as into spy versus spy as we were but no they still are i had a video game with them in it yeah yeah it was bad but it was still a video game so oh yeah i think i rented it once and it was just like you gotta like you would put a bomb in a filing cabinet and then just walk around and try to find you'd never run into the other spot oh you would just be finding sticks of dynamite and and things to make a trap um did you you didn't play video games growing up did you alicia uh very briefly uh right around the time that atari's became popular my parents bought us an odyssey which was like a very

honda minivan no it was like some sort of a video game console but it was called the odyssey and it was not the cool version and it had like a low rent pac-man and what would you call a low rent park man yeah yeah what was it called flick man what was the mad magazine version yeah crap man yeah so like i never really played video games i never got into them um and i still haven't really played any video games no disrespect to people who play video games it's just like but if i was around i mean mad disrespect to people who play video games do you want to do you want to get into it i think you should get into video games yeah that could be i don't think i would like it yeah you would counterpoint what i'm buying you an xbox

i'm bringing over an xbox tonight we're playing dance dance revolution Do you play video games, Dave? I play a game a week, maybe. Okay. Yeah. And Graham, do you play video games? No, but I do feel like that's what I'm going to do in retirement. The games are going to be so good and like 3D and virtual reality. And that's what I'm going to do with my time when I'm older. I'm just going to play video games and that's it.

Really? So you're just saving it up? Yeah, because they keep getting better and better. They're not getting worse. They're like every generation better. Yeah, but if you don't practice now, you'll suck when you retire. You've got to get good.

Yeah. Yeah, I think there's a lot of skills associated with being good at video games. What I'll do is I'll take lessons just like once a week. I hope nobody hears me practicing. Pink Bonk. Pink Bonk.

Instead of Pong, they have Pink Bonk. On the Odyssey. Yeah, I think I can't remember who made the Odysseyyssey but it was like it's a real thing if you look it up it kind of looks like an old typewriter as opposed to a new typewriter yeah it looks like uh it looks like if somebody thought this would be oh it's a magnavox a Introduced 1972. Nice. 1972? We did not get it until like 1981. I did not know. My parents really love garage sales.

They repackaged it as brand new? It happened. Oh, yeah? It's funny, though. If you look up what video games cost like back in the early 80s the same crappy video game that had like four specks of uh of light on the screen was still like 80 dollars yeah like the same as a video game costs now yeah i say it was it's equivalent to like 600 today and it uh i know a lot of the ads especially in the 80s in

the back of comic books would be people like you would see the people playing the video game you wouldn't see the graphics but you'd see people's minds getting blown by the game yeah because they knew if you showed the graphic it'd be just such a you're like oh yeah i guess it does look like well we're not going to show what burger time looks like but we'll show this chef and he's having a trouble having some trouble with these flipping burgers or whatever that game was what are you looking up alicia the odyssey it was the odyssey 2 video console i'm pretty sure the odyssey 2 my cousin had something called intellivision yeah oh yeah that had like weird uh it was like a dimmer switch it was like a remote that had dimmer switch on it and that was the and that was how you played yeah that's how you played

and we had a yeahodore VIC-20. Sure. I think my brother had that, but I never played it. We had Nintendo, and my friend had Nintendo before me, so that's why he was my friend. When I look back at that, I'm like, I couldn't have had less in common with that kid than like anybody i've met in my life and he probably didn't even want you there no he definitely didn't want me there but you know

his mom would only let him play video games if a friend came over he got extra time if a friend came over i bet you it was some kind of weird deal he also had gi joes that i like playing with too so and then i wonder where he is now he's probably owns a video game company yeah every every kid who played video games it was a gateway drug every kid went on to own a video game company if you if you grew up in a time where people were making a full-time living playing video games online you wouldn't want to do anything else it wouldn't matter what other career paths there were. You'd be like, well, I can be a gamer? That's my whole...

Really? Do you think so? Yeah, I think nobody wants to be a doctor or fireman anymore. I don't want to be a gamer, though. People don't even want to be actors and actresses. They just want to be YouTubers. Yeah, that's true. And there should be an award show for gamers. And put it on Twitch.

Don't try to put it on cable. And you know what? I wouldn't watch it. I set this up and I've come up with this idea and I hate it. I'm out. Yeah, he took us on a weird Twitch Instagram. Do you ever think about, like, going, if you had all this technology, like, if you brought your cell phone back in time and showed people like they would either think you're a witch or you're a god

uh but i think like yeah if you brought but it wouldn't work because the technology wouldn't be there yeah dave look come on get serious but let's say you had uh the infrastructure to do that or if like sure if you brought maybe it was it's transmitting to the future if you brought you know uh if you brought an xbox back 2 000 years i feel like the grown-ups would think you're think it's like heresy or whatever you get murdered for sure but kids kids would pick it up in a day. Kids would be like, oh, that's great. Yeah, cool. Yeah, that's true. The console would be so dirty because everything was so dirty. You're having to play it in a manger or whatever.

Well, first I have to explain to you who John Madden is. Okay. If you got sent back in time and like people are even asking you like how do you build a building with more than one floor you'd be like i don't fucking know i don't know man like i have no idea i wouldn't even know the first thing to tell them i don't know how you'd have nothing to offer nothing if anything they would have stuff to offer me you put it in the toaster and it comes out toasted that's all i know what but but why because hot yeah because it's hot just look at the wall look for a place where three holes are. That's where you plug it in. Yeah. Yeah, I do think about how much practical knowledge I have.

Very little. I can't fix anything, you know what I mean? I can't make anything. I can't mend something. Yeah, none of these things. I think Graham's hunting for compliments no graham you're actually really uh talented yeah you're so good at stuff uh-huh thanks you guys i was

fishing and i'm glad with what i caught um i'm glad with um and the can you sew a button graham yeah i can sew a button all right yeah so button that's more than i can do but if i went back in the past they'd be like yeah we know buttons well it depends how far back you go yeah that's true go back far enough oh you know what i could probably invent if i went back in time pickles that i think i could make fairly easily i think pickles were probably invented by accident not not in the history i've studied it was a person from the future came and that was his gift to the world i think most like uh natural occurrences just like like you think about cavemen building a fire they probably just like

happened upon a forest fire and took some. Yeah. I mean, we'll never know. We'll never know. Um, yeah, I feel like, uh, have you ever seen one of those things where they reconstructed the face of

what a Neanderthal like based on the skull? Yeah. They're always, you can get it. Yeah. They're always more handsome than what I pictured a caveman to be. They're always, with that said, they have such massive frontal lobes, though.

Yeah. Yeah, that's what I like. Lucky for you, that's what I like. Yeah. I really like that mummy that they recreated the voice for. Oh, yeah, where they blew in the tube. And he was like, I'm the mummy. Somebody sings Walk Like an Egyptian through it?

Yeah. So what was it? They like blew air through a larynx? I don't think anybody blew any air through anything did you that's what happened i don't know it seems about right don't you think just open the mouth and like blow it uh uh i'm just gonna i'll play a clip of it if that's okay with you yes please uh this is a five second clip so it's gotta be the whole thing right i think so yeah like a ton of work went into this too with their moans this is not a five second clip

and scream i literally thought that's that was it the first clip hollywood's mummies have always given us chill real money Can I fast forward this? Okay, here we go. 3,000 years ago. Sounds like Fran Drescher. That's how she became the mummy. Mummy.

I'm the mummy. Oh, boy. I bet you, like, in the lab, they were having a lot of fun with that. They were piling it around the room. Like a joint. Hey, blow into this for me. So what'd you do at work today well i played who can it be now on i played baker street on the mummy's larynx

oh man i love that's good it's i think about it often. Yeah. You know, and something just, well, it's not a ton, ton going on. So I do think about that mummy fairly often. There's a, I saw a picture of like the first tomb that America kind of opened to like take King Tut's,

uh, to pillage. Yeah. To pillage basically. And, and the, the doors had this like elaborate rope thing on it that couldn't have looked more like something in a movie. Like, don't break this rope because once you do, curse will befall you.

That's what the noise the door makes. But yeah, surely that's a thing you're asking for if you're going into a tomb that has all sorts of ropes tied up, right? What do you say, fellas? Yeah, right. Yeah. Fellas? What do you want? I say yeah.

Did you guys like the mummy when it came out? Brendan Fraser's magnum opus? I think I saw it i thought it was good yeah i don't think i saw all of it it's it's katherine zeta jones in it no the beautiful rachel weiss oh she's so beautiful yeah um the uh yeah i don't think i saw all of like now looking back i think people think it's like the greatest one of the the great adventure movies yeah i liked it i guess but like it felt like the mummy was a monster that was kind of like when i was a kid nobody was afraid of the mummy you know what i mean like dracula still could get it wolfman could

get it frankenstein's monster could get it right of frankenstein could get it oh boy and then yeah but mummy like always just seemed like it was just a slow walking thing that would like walk around and that was it it didn't bite into your head or anything when people get that bright of frankenstein hair yeah when they get that shock of white yeah yeah like bonnie rayette yeah how does that how does that achieve is that all natural i think that's i don't think it always is because it was all it was on offer when i decided to go gray what was the what do you mean it was on offer strip why do you not why do you not take that that seems like a cool thing to try well like explain what you who offered it to you my hairdresser uh said like just keep dying

most of your hair but let one part just go silver and see how you feel about it what did you do instead i just cut off all of my hair and nice yeah let it grow in nice it looks great by the way yeah yeah thanks uh thank you very much i saw both of you this weekend i drove past you and i i i recognized hank first yeah because i don't know you as a gray-haired yeah person yeah it's a huge change hank's getting a little salt and the pepper isn't he yeah he's got also some red in his beard that That's weird. It's very cute. Yeah. Huh. It's a coat of many colors.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, yes. So, yeah, I think that for some people that silver strip may be completely natural, but I now wonder. Well, like the news anchor in Canada, Lisa LaFlemme, she went silver during the pandemic and it looks

awesome she looks like she's uh she's like the smartest lady on tv it's it's i don't know if it's just the hair color but it's working for yeah everyone talks about that hair uh being great so yeah like it's very like it's a lovely change because i don't have to go and get my hair colored every four weeks yeah but i had no idea how gray i was i thought it was going to be like salt and pepper but you were like yeah see that's the thing i'm worried about uh mine mine isn't going to gray it's all just going to fall out and so yeah it's like what are you worried about what are you doing what's the upkeep you're doing right now graham? I have not touched a scissor in 10 years. Yeah, come on.

which one did you get? Did it make you horny? did it make you horny it's hard to say uh if i mean on a long enough timeline anything makes me horny um i got uh so uh our american listeners will be unfamiliar with the way vaccinating works in canada because i've seen so many people who've gotten both both shots yes uh the way it works here is uh they make some available to old people yeah and then they say they're gonna make some available to young people and then they don't then they don't yeah and then they say they're gonna make some available to young people and then they don't then they don't yeah and then they suddenly do and young people by young people i mean 40 and up yep rush out and try to get on the list of uh get on the wait list of uh pharmacies

and then you get a shot and you uh then you don't get another one for four months yep yeah we really have just decided to uh really cool our heels on this whole thing and like yeah we'll just take it nice and easy while everybody else gets to the point um and so i got the astrazeneca which i don't think anyone in america got i think they sent us all of those like i i got an astrazeneca as well and i think that that was the week that america kind of suspiciously was like hey we've got some extra vaccines but they're only this kind and then two weeks later they got banned we're gonna we were gonna throw them away because uh we gave some to Hank. So Canada's the mangy alley cat of the.

Yeah. When did you get yours? I got mine through work on the 19th of March. Whoa, you know the day. Nice. What'd you get? You get a Pfizer? What do you get?

Oh, no, I got AstraZeneca as well. Okay. All right. Because we were basically like, I just took the first vaccine that was offered. It was already like, I was so lucky that I got like we, the company I work for manufactures food. So really high risk population, close quarters, and they vaccinated everybody that wanted to get vaccinated. It wasn't just the people that worked in production and like Qa and regulatory but yeah so i jumped at the opportunity and how did it go um the day

of the shot i think i felt a little bit tired and the following day i felt a little bit off and then i was fine after that nice how about you dave abby and i got it the same day i so i had to go they made it available like they made it public last week that like you can get it they're gonna have it at pharmacies right and here's a list of all the pharmacies that'll have it go to their websites you try to get on the wait list the wait like you'll go to like a calendar oh it says you can book this day you click on it you can't do right um everything i had i heard from so many people like oh yeah i got my no problem it was very frustrating yeah a couple days yeah and then a friend uh uh got his like the mom and pop uh pharmacies seem to be the way to go because

they don't have websites so you just call them up and maybe they answer or maybe they're overloaded with phone calls. Right. But yeah, a friend recommended I call this pharmacy and I did. And so we went in, made an appointment and went in and yeah, got it. Yeah. It was like a tiny pharmacy with one guy working. The phone's ringing the whole time. Like you can't

answer all these calls and give us a was there a giant barrel of pickles and some old guys playing chess on it there's a giant barrel of vaccine vials he doesn't like bobbing for apples yeah it's just you put your shoulder in and hope you get pricked by one. And so we got it and came home and it was fine. And then that night I woke up at three in the morning, like shivering so much. Yeah. And like my teeth were chattering. And then, yeah, very tired the next day because i never got back to sleep and

then and abby felt really bad too uh and then uh you're like margo you're taking over for the rest of the day it's like you're i guess in charge today uh here's the car keys. Let's watch Dog Man or whatever it was called. Yeah. And we, so yeah, it was a day of like, just explaining to the kids, yeah, we're not feeling good. So you can have extra iPad today. And yes, sure, yes, dinner will be candy. But yeah, and then the next day, just a little bit of arm soreness and then a couple more weeks and then I'm fully vaccinated until I have to wait a couple more months.

A couple of weeks to get these antibodies and then a couple months. My arm hurt for about four days afterwards, but but that's pretty like i think also very normal yeah yeah i was just so so grateful to have a vaccine like i know me too i couldn't i was so overwhelmed by the opportunity it's very emotional we had a caller a couple weeks ago who overheard someone who was like are you sure you gave it to me like who went to a clinic and my brother said that he kind of had that like he didn't feel the needle go in yeah the next day he felt fine i felt the i felt the needle i felt every moment of it yeah i think it depends on who's administering it. Oh, yeah.

This guy was crazy. I think it's like the person that did ours, the person that did mine was great. And one of my coworkers has a real phobia of needles. And the whole time I was watching her while I was getting my vaccine to make sure she didn't pass out. She was already crying. That's a real phobia is it really it was a really yeah it was really um yeah did she ever go on maury povich and uh have a guy in a needle suit come out and scare her i will for sure ask yeah please welcome hell razor Please welcome Hellraiser.

Yeah, I think I got my flu shot last year or the year before. And the pharmacist, and I was like purposefully not looking at my, where the needle was going in. And the pharmacist was like, are you afraid of needles? And I was like, no, but I don't relish't relish this yeah yeah i don't want to watch i'm not like a david cronenberg character that's like more yeah more jabs i never watch i never watch it's not like sex where i'm like i want to see it going here david schumke you dirty dog this is why people support the podcast. Yeah, you're a real dirty dipper. Yeah, he's the man who can't.

You can't let him on radio. Podcast only. Yeah, so ever since I've been, I guess, like, I built this little shrine to Bill Gates. Yeah, you gotta. Yeah. That's what the voice in my head tells me. Yeah.

I got a Bill Gates haircut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm wearing a Bill Gates sweater that says Bill Gates on it. It's actually just got a picture of some gates and some bills that would be great a t-shirt that had like a whatever a revis or whatever it's called that you have to sound out what it is that would be a fun that'd be a fun thing if you ran a restaurant that would be fun if all the staff had one of those. Yeah. Like pictures of bills and then gates. I do know which one is.

Thank you. So, yeah, that's been my whole week, really. I've been, you know, of course, as I mentioned before, I'm anticipating reminiscing about this bagel with cream cheese and getting a shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm glad. Besides, Grahamham what was the thing that you've been eating a lot of during the pandemic i feel like we didn't get to you well i mean i don't know ritz crackers probably i probably really have had a renaissance with

ritz crackers they're so good they're so good just plain straight up. Yeah. I've had a renaissance with, well, not a renaissance, but Ritz. Not Ritz. Sorry. I don't know any words. Oreos, but the thin Oreos. Oh, those are a newish thing, right? Yeah. And they make gold thin Oreos and regular thin Oreos.

And they're just... Here's my hot take, my hot food take. Okay. The worst part of an Oreo is the filling. Okay. I think that's correct. Like the idea, the whole notion that they had that you twist this off and then you just lick that icing on its own. Yeah.

I did it because that's what the advertiser told me to, and it's gross. Uh-huh. It's gross. It's kind of like fondant, right? Like, it's quite, like, firm and waxy. Well, and, like, if you're eating cookies and cream ice cream, you're digging the cookie out.

Right. Yeah. And getting it. Yeah, yeah. No, I think you're on the right side of history with saying that the Oreo cream stuff. So the thin Oreos have, I mean, the cookie's a little thinner, but the stuffing is much thinner. Yes.

Oh, nice. Nice ratio. I really like the chocolate Oreo biscuit. And I think Nabisco makes that basically just as a chocolate wafer that you can make this like not fancy whipped cream cake with. I'll go to town on a box of those. No problem. Those are so good. Because they're not so sweet that you feel like gross.

Like you can just eat them continually until they're gone. And then your teeth are black. Yes. And you'll be sick for days. Oh, yes. Worse than the AstraZeneca. Just as a question for both of you, do you have a preference, the golden or the chocolate? I'll go golden if I have the chance.

I'll go golden too, but it's not really a preference. Okay. Like I'll go chocolate, but I just tend to go golden. Although I've been getting the, there's like a peanut butter chocolate pie flavored Oreo now. Stop it, stop it. Which is divine. Daveave i had something i wanted to bring up okay could you cover your ears for a moment yes i'm not listening have you tried

the purdy's peanut butter egg no i haven't i'm not a purdy's fiend like you are the peanut butter egg is out of this world it sounds great i I love a peanut butter, a Reese's peanut butter. I know, I know. But like the Reese's, like when they do the holiday tree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Christmas tree, the egg, the whatever. I know this about you. That's why I asked.

No, I should. Okay. I love a hedgehog, a Purdy's hedgehog. I love lobster. How do you guys feel about that? Shut up. You're allergic. You're not allowed to talk yet um yeah uh i also just want to do a shout out for cod cod is delicious i just don't know how to cook fish very well um shout out to cod we we we bake it on oh we wrap

it in uh parchment and fill it with butter and capers and garlic. Gorgeous. And it shrinks so much. Yeah. Like, oh, look at this beautiful piece of fish. And then you pull it out and it's like a coin. Yeah. It's like the gag of somebody shrinking laundry.

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, that's what's going on with me eating cookies. Making cod. While you eat your Ritz. Speaking of cookies, is this only a Canada thing or is it all North America? These like celebration cookies that have like, they're kind of a wafer thing and they've got like a plaque of chocolate on it. Sorry, let me just interrupt.

It's a butter biscuit. It's a butter biscuit. Thank you. And a piece of chocolate on top. With like a castle carved into the chocolate like a beautiful copy of a european cookie called the school boy cookie i know this yeah school boy cookie alicia take me on a journey what does this mean well before the celebration cookie came around you could buy these cookies called school boy cookies

and they're exactly the same thing but they're from europe okay i believe um they're delicious look a lot better than they taste oh i mean they're delicious they are delicious but they they look like uh a piece of furniture they don't look like something you should eat but then when you do i don't think they're very good i don't like i like them a lot i liked them too dry too dry oh i love dry cookies i'm so sorry and with a big slab of like basically a kit kat on top of it yes please it's like a work of art very dry yeah i like a dry cookie dad i love social teas like i could eat a whole box of social teas yeah what are social teas they are the driest cookie in the world they're dads are pretty dry. Dads are like a dry. Dad's cookies? Yeah, Dad's

cookies. Oh, Socialites? Social Tees. It's a show where women get together and talk about the news of the day. The social, yeah. Social Tees. The View. They're by Miss Christie's. Mr. Christie's. Oh, they make a good cookie. Mr. Christie, you make good cookies.

It's called Social Tea. They're available at Costco.co okay i don't know that anybody likes them except for like old people that drink tea yeah well when i was a kid i thought they were so good and i would dip them in hawaiian punch i thought that was pretty good i would love that combination oh it's yeah okay social t-t-E-A. Oh, sorry, Dave. Yes, tea like the drink. Okay. Social tea.

I like it. Yeah. They're almost like a cracker. They're not too sweet. I'm into it. You can eat about 30 to 45 of them. That's the thing with the Ritz. Yeah, no, I can eat.

Yeah, I can eat a lot of anything. Yeah. Brag. One of the things I really admire about you. As a parent, I'm like like how many cookies am i supposed to give my kids when they want cookies like i would get three i remember getting three and feeling lucky yeah yeah now i will eat three while i wait for my coffee to brew yeah and then bring five more downstairs they should just always have them in sleeves they should do away with

this plastic divider thing and admit that people want to eat cookies by the sleeve and right do either of you like those peak frame cookies with the jam in the middle yes no king of old lady cookies yes please the chocolate finger i'm a school boy give them to me i'm a little school boy do you like the opposite of an old lady cookie an arrowroot baby cookie yes yeah that's it that's my that's exactly what i want they're very similar to a social tea yeah i nearly bought one called baby num nums and i was like nah i don't think those are as good the people at the till are gonna know this is for me they can tell they can sniff me out baby i buy a package of diapers with them just to make it seem you throw them in the garbage when you get outside graham what's going on with you oh i don't know is it is how any updates with speaking of baby

mum mums with the uh your nemesis baby well here, here's the thing. There's at least three people in this building who have babies because our landlord, every time somebody has a baby, posts an announcement in the lobby that says... The following people have been evicted. Their lease clearly said two people. This third person is a violation of her lease oh but every time that somebody's had a kid she's put up a sign that said like congratulations justin and christine on your new arrival and whatever the baby's name is so i don't know which

couple that i see that has babies in the building i don't know which one is the culprit so you think stealing your my laundry bag and playing tears in heaven too loud didn't they play another song yeah they played you're too good to be true no uh i love you are so beautiful no you are so beautiful yeah that's what it is um so the one there's one couple that i feel like their baby's too old to be like a new newborn and then there's one couple that this guy keeps seeing he has he wears a dumb hat he wears like a hat that i hate is he in the mirror it's a dunce cap that's the dumbest yeah he's wearing a dun's cap you should be in the corner go stay in the corner and he has the baby and he says nobody puts this baby nobody yeah nobody puts this baby in the

corner yeah um no this guy wears a hat baseball hat with a very short brim and like a little baby huey or something yes like a baby huey like a cyclist yeah like a cyclist but a little bit longer than the cyclist one so it wouldn't flip up it's kind of between a baseball hat and no not a painter's but we do not need to pin down that but it's like imagine between a regular baseball hat and a cyclist hat it's in this this nether region. I can't, I hate it. I've seen it. I think he's the guy. Cause I feel like that ties,

that ties it all up, but I have no evidence. Um, but I'm working on the case and I'll come back next week with more updates of my neighbors who live upstairs. Um, I'm going to give you an update. Uh,

just when I had a baby mom, mom's pulled up. Yes. Num-Num is a brand that makes a pre-spoon, a baby utensil pre-spoon. Before you're ready for a spoon, you use a pre-spoon. And their brand name is Goo-Tensils. Pretty great. pretty great so this past week this past week and a half

past guest Tim Gray has been sending me messages saying hey have you checked out this reality show on Netflix and so I did I thought it was a good recommendation he said there's this show. It's about getting in shape.

And they mentioned Subway a bunch. So I was like, okay, that seems like a pretty good suggestion. And it's a show called Strong. And it's produced by Sylvester Stallone. And he's the Jared. From jail. From jail. He gets cigarettes for every episode he gets 45 cents do you think he's like on visitation days somebody sneaking in a sub to

him and passing it to him under the table i think subway maybe you think prisons have subways i think prisons maybe have contracts with subways no that would be interesting schools do that's true what a world so anyways he told me about that show and i watched an episode of it it sucked there was no subway in it at all he said i think it's in later episodes and i was like i'm not gonna i'm not going down the line. And then he recommended another one that was called The Circle, which I tried watching an episode of, and in the first five minutes where they showed people moving into their apartments,

I was like, no, I can't do this. These people are too excited about these shitty-looking apartments that just look like something you get off of Airbnb. They're like, oh, shit, I'm staying here. This is great. So I turned that off., I'm staying here. This is great. So I turned that off. So I think Tim Gray is trolling me.

I think he's sending me messages about reality shows that are in fact quite unwatchable. So that's been happening. I'm calling it out here on the show. Okay. Alicia, do you remember when AMC only had two shows? It had The Walking Dead and Mad Men. That rings a bell.

Yeah. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Well, they had Breaking Bad. They had Breaking Bad. Sure, they had. They had three good shows. They had, you know, Low Winter Sun. What was the one?

Overheard's a segment where the three of us get together. We're going to share what we heard or saw, and then we're going to hand it off to the listener. Alicia, we like to start with the guest. Do you have an overheard? I have an overheard, and I was part of it.

On Saturday, I was downtown. I was returning something before the 30-day thing. I usually never make returns, but I decided I needed to return this bag that I bought. This sounds like a retail nightmare. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I have lots of retail nightmares, so this one's the only overheard that i have um uh i was saying goodbye to my friend sarah at the canada line station and a man came up to us a man who who needed has having a rough time and he asked me for some money and it started like this do you speak speak French? And this man is not, is like not wearing a mask.

He is, he is covered in kind of like, I would say a clear vomit of sorts. Okay. Yeah. And it's like, and he's, there's a lot of spittle happening.

And I guess he looks like he came out of like a 18th century Monty Python sketch. Except for he's dressed like George Costanza, which is a solid look. That is a solid look. Yeah. And he asked me and my friend sarah if we speak french and i say yes and sarah says no and then he he directs his attention to me and he says may i have can i have 40 dollars and i'm thinking oh shit like that's a lot of money um and i was like well i have 10 dollars and he's like okay but i'd like 40 and i think the reason he gave me was that he that he needed to go somewhere and to get in there was

40 a night and i was like there's no shelter in the world that's 40 a night like i know i look like i was born yesterday but i was only born two yesterdays ago i I don't know. So I did have some cash on me specifically to give somebody in need some cash because it's tough times out there. And not a lot of people are carrying cash and there's not a lot of people in the streets. So I give the man $10 and I'm very stressed out just because of the amount of saliva and fluids. But otherwise, happy to give him the money. And he asked me like two or three more times for $ he's like can you get me 40 and i'm like no i can't but here's 10 and then he says thank you and he wants to shake hands and like i just turn into dust and the wind blows me away uh i touched a stranger in a year um and just as i'm walking away i overhear him say to another

woman hey do you have 50 cents what i just can't i was 40 now it's down to 50 cents like give me back nine dollars and 50 cents what happened this felt like such a sucker i'm like what is it about me like i get asked for money all the time i oblige all the time that i can anytime i can i will go to the bank machine for people i have recently gone to the bank machine for somebody but i was not going any further with this it's more likely that someone will have 40 than 50 cents totally yeah you're right like i don't I never have change anymore. I have the same $20 in my wallet I had three months ago.

My big plan was to put change in every one of my jacket's pockets, though that way I would know that I had change on me anytime I ran by somebody who needed change. But as shorts weather is approaching, what am I going to do?

I got no coat? Yeah, I know. That's the worst. I have to put change in all my shorts? I mean, it's not the worst part of summer, but one of the worst parts of summer is like you don't have as many pockets anymore. Yeah. Thinking about starting to carry a fanny pack. That's come into the possibility region.

It's a Luke. Will you wear it on the back or on the front i will wear it around my shoulder like a little purse that's a shoulder bag no but isn't that the same thing you can wear just a fanny pack but like over the shoulder people call your shoulder a fanny because they're a bunch of sickos yeah what was I going to say about carrying money $10.50 you sounded like Kevin O'Leary there

money I love money I love you go boating in the dark when I'm drunk oh my goodness it didn't cost me any money so I like it I'm drunk. Oh my goodness. It didn't cost me any money, so I like it. I missed you, wonderful. It's an ironic name because nobody likes me.

I forget. Dave, do you have an overheard? Sure. I went to the local beer store. Oh, yes. Delicious. The Liquor Hound. And there was a dad in there with his three-year-old son.

And he had a six-pack of beer and a couple of other bottles. And he said, okay, I just need to get this one other thing. He was talking to his son. and he said, okay, I just need to get this one other thing. He was talking to his son. And then after I choose this, you can choose any beer you want,

any bottle that has a truck or a car on it and I'll buy it. For me to do, like for me. And then, so he's there like, okay, son. Yeah.

Well, choose something with a, with a truck on it. Yeah. I know you're into trucks. Choose a bottle with a truck on it. And the kid was like, okay. And then he went to like, was like, oh, how about this?

This six pack of, hey, y'all hard iced tea with a truck on it. And the dad was like, no, no, I just don't i can't that's too much for me to drink just anything over here if you like the picture on the you were following the rules technically you were following the rules that i should buy this hey y'all and i guess it was his weekend he's like oh i gotta take the kid out i mean just like exit just like you don't need to get the kid excited about you drinking that's true just pick up the beer and go the thing uh i think i brought up a couple weeks ago on the podcast but in when i was a kid liquor stores would have a thing that was like a a quick wine cooler it was like a like a whirlpool that you'd stick wine in

and it would become quick fast kind of like the bathing suit dryer at the gym yes yes the exact opposite of oh like you just jogged a whole bunch of memories loose there with the things the bathing suit dryer yeah if i was rich i'd have one of those in my house. For what? For my bathing suits. I'm rich. You've got wet trousers. But yeah, sticking your arm in the wine cooler thing was the big attraction to the liquor store. I don't, I've never actually seen one of those. I heard they used to have one at Kingsgate Mall.

Oh yeah. But they had to stop because people were trying to wash their clothes in it and then they could come over to my house and dry them in my bathing suit dryer it's your old business oh boy what's your overheard genius yeah genius um i uh heard it was a guy and a lady walking down the back alley and uh one of them was on the phone and she she heard something and then paused and said she's always using rosé as an excuse absolutely right who who here can't say the same right because maybe she falls to hang out and she's like i can't rosé all day yeah so excited for rosé season guys it's delicious um i don't think because i can't have red wine it gives me headaches would rosé give

me headaches doesn't all wine give you headaches? Yeah. Can you have white? Yeah, I can have it, but I don't feel great after. But now I'm just wondering, could I sidestep it with some rosé is what I'm asking.

I think you should just have a glass in the middle of an afternoon one day so you can roll through the headache and hang over by six. I can't wait to day drink. That's something I'm very excited for. What's preventing you? There's nowhere to sit.

You have to go out? Yeah. You can't do it at home? No, I feel like day drinking at home is probably not a great bridge to cross. Yeah. But, you know, doing it in a park or at a patio somewhere,

suddenly it makes it all right. I don't know. Being drunk by 4 p.m. rules. Do you remember the Madonna song, Bad Girl? Mm-hmm. I don't think so. It was like from the 92 or 93, and I just remember the line, Bad girl, drunk by six, smoked too many cigarettes today oh yeah yeah and uh when i

was a 12 year old hearing this i thought the line was bad girl drunk by sex and i i just remember thinking wow being a grown-up is complicated what a minefield yeah somebody gets pulled over for drunk driving they're like no i was drunk by sex so technically i'm allowed to drive off actually no we blow into this uh sir uh now we also have overheard sent in from listeners all over the place. If you want to send one in, you can send it to spy at MaximumFun.org. And this first one comes from Lindsay in Vancouver. She works in a school. My office is right next to the space where grade 7 students have their flex block in the morning.

This morning, I overheard two boys in conversation. Boy one, want to hear some dad jokes? Sure. Where do boats go when they get sick the boat dock why do math books look so sad because of all of its problems how do you make a tissue dance you put a little boogie in it and boy two says these aren't dad jokes these are just good i was gonna say they're not dad jokes. They're just like joke book jokes. Yeah, this kid was on top.

He's just like, these are good jokes. If dads get to say them, I'm on board. But these are good jokes. I'm going to get someone pregnant. Yeah. Did you have joke books when you guys were kids yes definitely i feel like i really got any of them no like the one that always confused me much as the drunk by sex thing confused dave was there was a joke about how do you get down from a horse and they're like you

don't you get down from a duck and i was like what the fuck does this mean why he just told you he was on a horse now he's on a duck what the hell i didn't understand until he was an adult i never i never asked a parent for help you get down from a duck like you get oh the feathers yeah i we i'm we've i've talked about this i've heard you tell that joke before when we talked about joke books and the one that always perplexed me was from, I had this British joke book. So that made everything worse. Yeah. But the joke was, where were aha when the lights went out? The answer was in the dark

is that even the most famous song no i mean it has it has nothing to do it could have been anyone it has nothing to do with them i think they were maybe the odd hottest band at the time when that joke was written i'm speechless oh wow yeah that's insane it could have been duran duran um this next one is uh from jonathan from marysville ohio uh he's in a paint store yum uh mother and three or four year old daughter. The daughter was wiggling as the mother tried to hold her. A stranger passed by saying something to the mother. Girl says, what did he say to you? She's mother.

He said, good luck, girl. Why, mother? Because he knows you're a handful. Later, I heard the same girl doing something around her mom. And then I heard the mom say no trust falls today oh wow that totally as as soon as a kid would be uh knowledgeable of trust falls that's all you would want to do yeah i can trust you right mom here we go there was a kids in the hall sketch where i think scott thompson as danny husk uh i forget it's like a weird plot where he's like he he's been kidnapped but that's right yeah he's reading about his own story And he has to go deliver his own ransom.

And he meets the guy who's kidnapped him. And he says, how do I know I can trust you? And they do a quick trust fall. Oh, man. Kids in the Hall rules. I would watch that from the start. I would watch every episode again. Is that on? Can we get it?

You gotta watch from the start so you understand. Yeah, that's true. I wonder if it's, that used to be like, they would show reruns on TV. I wonder if they still do. Yeah, well they, I remember as a kid very distinctly, you know like when you go on holiday, your parents let you eat like chocolate before bed or whatever. They let us watch kids in the hall and I was blown away. I didn't like, there were so many things that I was like, I don't understand what's going on at all.

But there was this, there was an ongoing sketch of the two policemen. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And there was one where the two policemen are walking down the beach and you see them in a two-shot and then the camera goes out to wide and they're holding hands and they didn't realize so funny so funny this last one comes from dan in kansas city missouri my six-year-old daughter's response to a school assignment asking the kids to answer what life would be like when they are 100 years old picture attached uh she says dead and then there's a

picture of a grave with sadie to 2017 i don't know if you can see anything here no no sorry but anyways sadie and a gravestone and then a casket. When you're 100 years old? Yeah, 100 years old. Yeah, that's fair. When I'm 100 years old, I'll be dead. And then it says Sadie 2017. I love it. There's a casket there.

I think a few years ago, I remember seeing news articles that were like, the first person to live to be 150 years old has already been born. Right. Oh yeah. No way. No way. I was at a,

I went to like a birthday celebration with a 93 year old and he's gross. He, somebody like he had to check his date of birth. It found that he found out he was actually 92. So he got a year back. I love it. When people tell me they want to live until they're 100, I'm like, why? Yeah, just to like...

I'm thinking about that now. So 55 years in the future, it's already so bad. Yeah. It's already so bad right now at 45 like how gray will you be by 100 i'll be i will have the most beautiful hair i'll look like a corpse um but a hot corpse i'm a hot corpse now hot corpse drunk by sex in addition to overheards that are written in, we also accept your phone calls.

four-year-old has trouble flushing the toilet or has trouble remembering flushing the toilet. Same. So every time he comes out of the bathroom, I have to remind him. And yesterday, I heard him come out of the bathroom. I said, hey, go flush the toilet.

Next phone call.

Hey, Dave and Graham and possible guests. This is John in Rochester, New York, calling in with an overseen of the vanity plate variety. I'm in the grocery store parking lot and a blonde teenage girl in a new Volkswagen has the New York State vanity license plate Joe Pesci.

Wow! I'm surprised you beat him to the punch. You think just by law, Joe Pesci's allowed to write a first refusal. How many characters is that? I mean, if it was Joe

it probably would read like Joe Pisces but Yeah, because you can have the same amount of letters just in the wrong order. Yeah, how many? It's eight? Eight letters? That could work if they're all J-O-E-P-E-S-C-I No space. No space? That that works doesn't it i'm not

i don't know how it works for um i remember uh watching jeopardy and you know how when alex used to talk to the contestants they would all have the most boring stories about their lives oh yes someone uh i remember someone's california license plate was dracula and he got it the moment that california switched from six characters to seven characters on license but that story i'm getting dracula that story rules because like the other night i there was one that said so you just vampire yeah he could have gotten just vampire. Yeah, he could have gotten vampire, sure. Yeah, but I mean, you've got to be specific. Yeah. What vampire?

The Dracula. Yeah. I'm the mummy. There you go. You could get the mummy. But yeah, there was a woman on Jeopardy that I watched last night where she likes sci-fi movies. And then Alex was like, which one is your favorite? She's like, they're all, I don't know.

I couldn't pick one. I was like, well, that's, you knew that this question they're all, I don't know, I couldn't pick one. I was like, well that's, you knew that this question was coming. He's not hardballing you. You knew that you're... You were watching an old one with Alex? Yeah, I've taped too many. I've taped too many over the last six months, so I'm trying to get, I'm still like

in Christmas time of Jeopardy, so Alex is still with us. Oh, well, get ready to get sad. What? Oh, no. You don't, get ready to get sad. What? Oh, no. You don't know? It's very sad. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have made that joke. No, it's fine. Pat Sajak should have been the one to go. Jesus. Dave, you're so right. Dave gave us a look like, what do you want me to do? I can't control. Where's the lie?

Here's your final overheard. dave hi graham this is cassiana calling from arizona and my overheard happened at the elementary school that i work at uh the teacher told a little girl to go wash her hands at the sink and she didn't want to but she did and i And I hear her saying at the sink, saying, germs and God, germs and God, germs and God. Everybody tells me they're real, but I've never seen them. Yay! That's awesome. That's some heavy duty. Because people that would say I've never seen germs

would probably be like, but I'm friends with God. And so it's unusual that that would cross the, I don't see God, I don't see germs. They both don't exist. Yeah, I have a little faith in germs. Yeah, I mean, that's, the kids sent me on a real existential. Yeah, that's true.

They're so wise, these little people, aren't they? That's true, from the mouth of babes.
