Woo!
Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 694 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who's like a Caribbean dream sitting there drinking a Corona, Mr. Dave Shumka.
Yeah, I mean, I was looking for Red Stripe. I can't find Red Stripe anywhere in town.
Hmm, this is a little stubby, right?
Caribbean beer, yeah.
Yeah, well mexican's still
fun that's still a fun kind of beer yeah it's a corona which is i mean you gotta put fruit in it
you can put a fruit in it um you can put cheese on it you can put chili on it
uh it's it shares the same with a famous virus that, you know, decimated our lives.
Yes.
So that's always fun.
We had a gigantic heat wave this weekend.
Record-breaking.
The hottest temperature ever recorded in Canada a couple hours from here.
Two degrees above freezing.
So there you go.
Canada's done it again.
And on Saturday, I was sitting outside and i was
like oh it's such a hot day i'll have a corona and i drank one and i was like oh i'm i'm like
i might as well have done black tar heroin my brain is completely addled i am no longer a
functional human being from this the lightest of the lightest of beers.
Our guest today, first time guest here to the podcast, very funny comedian.

It's Jackie Pirico.
Hey, guys.
Hello.
Thanks for being our guest.
It's so great to be your guest.
I always wondered, will I ever be a guest?
Yeah, it's a lot of people stay up nights wondering and wishing,
and you won the lottery. What can I say?
I won, but I'm very tired from staying up all those nights.
So forgive me if this is terrible.
She frozen on your end a little bit?
Yeah, she froze a little bit.
You froze a little bit, but it's okay. You're back on top.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, you know what? maybe you guys were frozen for me too
yes that's true are we on the outside looking in or the inside looking out it's hard to say
totally this is like the last episode of st elseworlds are we all in a snow globe yes
are we or are we in uh yeah in some kid it? Yeah. Look, let's get to know us.
Get to know us.
Jackie, how are you doing?
I'm really great.
Usually when I would do a podcast like this, I'd be sort of a while beforehand, sort of
getting ready, maybe doing, I don't know, just getting some kind of mental preparation but instead of that
today i was out rooting around in the dirt outside like an old dirty dirt possum tending to my brand
new garden ah this is now you're speaking dave's language yeah i'm a garden queen you're a garden
queen i'm a brand new i'm a garden princess because i'm really new to it. It's my first year. Oh, yeah. This is my first big year where I tore out grass and just put in dirt.
But I had some legacy plants from the last couple of years.
Wow.
Well, see, as amateur as I am, I got to tell you, I did some pulling up of grass and putting down of dirt, too.
Nice.
What are you planting in there?
Oh,
it's chaos.
I feel like Dave,
if you saw this garden,
I don't know what you'd think.
It's really,
it's,
I like to say that it's me getting to know who I like and who I don't like.
I'm the same way.
There's no rhyme or reason.
There's no planning of what will go where it's just a whim.
It's all improv.
It's nuts. It's there's a. It's all improv. It's nuts.
There's a lot of color.
Yeah.
And it's really helped reveal to myself what kind of insane I am.
Right.
There's a lot of windmills and statues already.
Tchotchkes.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
What's the top tchotchkes oh yeah okay yeah what's uh what's the top tchotchke well it's this brand
new one i got the other day from canadian tire and it's like a fake stone statue and it's like
a mummy cat sort of um lovingly like okay like a mother or a mummy wrapped up in bandages yeah that's what i thought as well no no but i do love those two i i love
those two um but it's it's a mom cat like bending over kind of kissing its baby kissing its baby
kitten on the head and i like i've just been staring at it. What I like about, because my garden is just plants.
I don't do any tchotchkes.
Okay.
But what I love about that is a garden full of tchotchkes
and a thief trying to like figure out where you've hidden a key.
There would be endless possibilities for a key in this garden.
But there's a lot of plants.
I've got a lot of daisies, marigolds.
Sounds great.
Cosmos coming up.
Sunflowers even.
Really?
Sunflowers?
Yeah, it's exploding.
There's been lots of rain.
It's just looking pretty crazy.
Nice.
Yeah.
Sunflowers.
I think Margo was my daughter was
given some sunflowers in school those are sunflower seeds like yeah plant these or eat them
spit them out at a baseball game they're a favorite for kids apparently and they're do they
grow really fast so you get you guys both just flowers or are you doing some food in there?
No food for me.
Not yet.
I don't do food.
We tried tomatoes last year and we have too many critters in the neighborhood.
A lot of guys out there, yeah.
A lot of guys taking a snack.
Are you in Toronto, Jackie?
I am.
Yeah, I'm in Toronto, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
But if I may touch just momentarily, circle back to the cat mummies like from Egypt.
Yes, please.
Yes.
One time I was at one of the world's largest ancient Egypt museum exhibit in Turin in Italy.
I don't know why it's there.
But there was this kind of sealed off part where the exhibit wasn't ready yet.
And you weren't really supposed to see it.
And there was a big plastic bin,
like a Canadian tire,
like tote bin style,
you know,
full of those cat mummies just in there,
like thrown in there.
Like you'd see the back of a moving track and they're also skinny,
you know,
like they're also,
and it was just a bin of those just real mummified cats yeah yeah that weren't like put up in the exhibit yet the like the an ancient egypt exhibit is and the body worlds exhibit are very similar
yeah and they're also i've never been to the body world.
They're both cursed.
You see there,
if,
if there was ever another exhibit where it's like,
it's got a bunch of dead bodies,
check it out.
The government would get involved so fast.
It's true.
Yeah.
They don't want anyone horning in on their dead body racket.
But I guess ancient Egypt was, it's just you know up to
their ears and these mummified cats that they just you know they didn't even have a place for them at
this exhibit just stuff them in a bin a canadian tire plastic tote are you a cat person oh huge
yeah yeah so that's on my instagram it's all you own stories or rent oh i own i own but i'm a one
cat person okay sure only because my cat won't let me have more cats ah yes have you tried yeah
yeah it's a disaster my because my cat the main thing that me and my cat don't like have it like
we have a lot in common but our main difference is that she hates cats
right and i love cats did you know this when you adopted this cat that it was no no i didn't know
i i wasn't even ready for more cats then but then over the years we've you know had roommates that
were cats cat comes in here and there right and it's did you know that that roommate was a cat
at the time or was it disguised no that was... Did you know that that roommate was a cat at the time
or was it disguised like a roommate?
No, that was also revealed to me.
I thought it was a regular guy.
And then all of a sudden,
Nutland hated him.
I'm like, oh, wait.
Oh, he's a cat.
Yeah, oh, that's where
all my saucers of milk
have been going.
Yeah.
Remember in Batman Returns
when Michelle Pfeiffer
licks a bunch of cream out of a saucer?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And it was like kind of trying to be horny, but even for 12-year-old me, I was like, I don't think so.
Oh, really?
Because even like however old me, I was like, hubba hubba.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Well, tell me about your cat.
Nutland?
Yes. Yes. Nutland the cat did i actually
say that or i thought you just guessed it did i yeah no yeah i guess let me just guess i have a
ouija board here yeah nutland is my cat she's she's um she's the best cat i've ever seen where
do you get the name nutland from well nutland uh yeah so nutland nutland is her real
name that when she was adopted when she showed up at my house her name is peanut okay that's her
true name um but it's just sort of so i don't know pedestrian isn't it a little bit yeah and then
years later she was always peanut but years later i was binge watching um twin peaks
okay and leland palmer is just such an insane character right leland do you know leland palmer
from twin peaks yes he's the dad laura's dad i don't i never saw that oh well he's really crazy
and uh and i was like oh i'd like that name leland leland that's a cool name leland
and then somehow peanut merged or morphed into sort of combined with leland to be nutland
nutland and so does the cat respond to this name uh actually that's a great question i asked her
that the other day i said nothing nothing i said do you know your name nutland and she was just
kind of like one looked at me with one eye so i took that as a resounding yes yes yes um and are you have you ever had a dog are you
cat person all the way uh well i am a cat person all the way but i as a kid there was some dogs
around i grew up in a really um a lot of animals around like like what are we talking about here well i lived with my sicilian grandfather
okay who is this where i get my pet insanity from i love all animals birds critters possums skunks
even um like i'm a lover of all those and like i've had a lot of rabies scares and all this okay
well yeah i was like yeah i guess I kind of like skunks.
I don't like them enough to almost have rabies.
A lot of rabies scares is my favorite.
Yeah.
Or like, yeah.
A tick scares and flea scares and all these.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bites, scratches.
I've had crabs a couple of times.
That's one I haven't had.
But yeah, my grandfather loved animals. so he had a couple dogs always had
tons of cats um one time he found or he managed there was a there was a rogue parrot flying around
in the neighborhood that had escaped from some i don't know sanctuary or whatever or circus and
perhaps and he managed to catch it trap it i guess that's not. And he managed to catch it,
trap it.
I guess that's not great,
but he managed to capture it and keep it as a pet and then bought another
parrot to be its friend and then bought several more birds.
And they all were in one room,
like,
like flying around in one room without a cage.
So that was just the room where birds are?
Yeah, and all the cats would naturally gather
outside of that room.
So that was my childhood.
A lot of really crazy stuff like that.
But yeah, the dogs were great.
Was this in Sicily or in Canada that he did that?
Oh, no, sorry.
This was in Canada.
This was in Guelph, Ontario.
Oh, I guess last week was from Guelph, Ontario.
What?
Who was it?
John Sleeman.
Wowee.
It was Sean Devlin.
Yeah.
Do you know Sean Devlin?
Yes, I do.
I went to high school with Sean.
You did?
Yes, I did.
That's crazy.
Isn't that crazy?
As I was reading my children some books, it occurred to me that someone else is from Guelph do you know the let me guess robert munch robert munch nice hell yeah
yeah so yeah the king of guelph the king of of tear-jerking kids books oh was what were you
reading i mean i love you forever is the tear jerkker We read whatever He just keeps pumping them out
Is he? He's still writing them?
Yeah
Wasn't there a thing
What were the Munch Madness books
He had as a child
I remember that 100 Degrees Below Zero
I didn't have that
It was like there was Twizzlers
In it and he gets picked up by a
Big rigged truck driver This kid gets picked up by a big rigged truck driver
this kid gets picked up by a truck driver wow and he had a truck full of like licorice that sounds
pretty good it sounds like i believe you uh like i say there's so many he writes so many of these
books like and apparently at the time that he was writing all these books, he was pretty high on the old cocaine.
Yeah.
Oh, that's maybe why I resonate with him now and then.
That's why it really speaks to me to this day.
We were, what did I read?
I read Mortimer as a child, I think.
Right, I remember that one.
The kid who didn't want to go to bed.
His paper bag princess one of of his paper bag princesses.
Yeah.
That's all the hits.
Yeah.
All the big,
big hits.
I think,
um,
did,
does your town Guelph,
does it have a slogan?
Is it like home of Robert Mountain?
Sure.
Oh my God.
You know what?
I'm so embarrassed.
I've been,
I've been out of it for so long.
I haven't lived there since I was 19.
I don't. Oh, well, it's called the royal city there you go yeah that's enough that's enough yeah is that enough for you
people yeah well we we can't just it's not just a every week we have someone new from guelph yeah
it's our it's the curse of this show uh we're hoping for somebody from oshawa next week i was born in oshawa i'm not
shitting you i was i was born in oshawa my dad was working on the line at gm when i was born
wow um and part of his job or yes he took extra money or whatever to transport or carpool prisoners
to and from gm like that day worker prisoners
from like kingston or something there was a prison in oshawa or near and so he would go and pick up
the day pass and they would all drive together to work he dropped them back off at jail after
and he made some pretty bad friends but he wrote some great children's novels or books i just remember like all these
friends being around my dad in oshawa when i was a kid they were like hard hard dudes yeah and then
and then my parents broke up for a while they got back together yeah they got back together but you
know what that's all oshawa that was all Oshawa
that wow that was all yeah like you rarely hear the parents getting back together yeah I think it was only a year I was too young to remember but it had to do with all the bad friends from jail
like she she was like you're allowed to have one bad friend from jail
what are they doing three bad guys in the house i said one but like why
because i don't bring any of my work or jail friends home
am i consider a work friend yeah we're work friends and i've done some hard time uh i used
to smash up parking meters that was my that gig. Oh, yeah. That's hard.
That's dangerous for you in prison, being a sign smasher.
They have to put you in isolation.
Because they don't want you smashing their signs around the prison.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a lot of signs in there, I think.
There's a lot of signs that say, don't break out.
If you smash that sign, people might start breaking out.
All hell breaks loose.
Yeah.
Have you guys known anybody who's been in prison?
Sean Devlin.
Oh, yeah, Sean Devlin.
That's right.
Wait, what did he do?

I wish I did.
It's where all the bad kids came from.
Like, bad kids came in to Guelph from Rockwood to go to my high school.
Anyway,
Sean would know this,
but we were coming back from a bush party and then we were walking by my high
school and there was a car just sitting in the parking lot.
Doors open,
lights on,
keys in the ignition.
What are we going to do?
We got in it and drove around the football field,
ripped up the field. We're joyr drove around the football field ripped up the field

In this town
The town of your youth

Um
I
Like
Growing up
I was scared
Of East Vancouver
But
As
That I lived there So it it's like, it was just, uh, that's where the roughy toughies would come.
Yeah.
I mean, there's still like the, you know, the bridge and tunnel crowd from Surrey coming into party on the weekend.
Oh, is Surrey, um, the Rockwood of Vancouver?
Yeah.
So it's not a really a neighbor.
It's a, it's a so it's not really a neighborhood. It's a city.
Right.
It's a suburb that's grown larger than Vancouver itself, I think.
Wow.
Yeah, because bad dudes are industrious.
That's one thing.
They come here to party.
Like ants on an anthill.
Yes.
They've opened up.
So as of tomorrow, we're recording this on June 30th.
As of tomorrow, restrictions are being lifted june 30th uh as of tomorrow
uh restrictions are being lifted here in vancouver in british columbia um so you can you don't have
to wear a mask anymore wow you don't have to um jeez i don't know like you can have open mouth

Yeah, a lot of
pecking.
They're opening casinos
at limited capacity. They're
opening nightclubs, but no
dancing allowed.
Way to wet my appetite
for nightclubs out of nowhere.
I know, exactly. I'm like, maybe I want to go to
nightclubs. You know what?
If you had me in that club,
there'd be nothing holding me back from dancing.
If there were nightclubs that were like,
okay, we open at 7.
Yeah.
No dancing.
No dancing.
The music's pretty quiet.
But who are they going to have in each of these clubs?
John Lithgow telling everybody not to dance?
Absolutely. That's what they'll have. They're sending in the Lithgows. in each of these clubs John Lithgow telling everybody not to dance absolutely
that's what they'll have
they're sending in
the Lithgows
well lucky for you guys
we had some
restrictions lifted
here today
everybody's gone today
to get a haircut
get their nails done
everybody
get a haircut
yes I'm serious
everyone is rushing to get a haircut it's so weird i don't really care
about getting a haircut very much my hair is just i don't really care but that's where everyone was
today i walked by every salon we had a so uh yesterday was the last day of school oh yeah school. Oh yeah. I threw my binders in the river for kids. And so we, uh, my six-year-old finished
grade one and, uh, she said, we said, well, what do you want to do for dinner? And she said,
McDonald's and, and, but let's take it and have a picnic. And so we got to McDonald's, and it was a 20-minute lineup to get into the drive-thru.
Oh, no.
Really?
So we finally ordered 20 minutes in.
Because I guess every parent was like, what are you going to do?
Yeah, there's one parent family at the old spaghetti factory
and then one at like a sushi bar somewhere.
So we ordered our food and they gave us our drinks
and they said, just go over there and we'll bring your food out to you.
And also, here's a bunch of free soft serve ice cream cones,
which should have been a warning of like, oh, this is there.
They're going to be a while.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When they're doling out concession.
Free stuff.
Yeah.
So it was like it was 20 minutes in line and then 25 minutes until the food was brung out to it.
What?
This is what it would be like if all the adults were dead
and children overran the society.
Yeah.
But you know what?
I bet McDonald's would pay a good wage then.
Yeah, that's true.
If all kids...
Right.
Yeah.
That's all it takes.
When you were a kid, Jackie,
what was your go-to
if you did well at a soccer game
or something like that?
Where did you get to go?
I guess the same kind of thing.
But you know what?
We really loved, me and my brother as kids loved Taco Bell.
We loved Mexi Melts.
Do you remember Mexi Melts?
No, tell me all about Mexi Melts.
I don't think they exist at Taco Bell anymore.
I don't go to Taco Bell now.
But they're just like these little, very simple, soft white tortilla, like small, almost like a mini burrito just with like pico de gallo and ground beef and cheese.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Like, they were so good.
They just they were just so soft.
But you didn't even need like a jaw to eat them, you know?
Just be shot in there by a tube or whatever.
Mary Jo Buttafuoco loves mexi melt i'll never forget years ago this kid um was staying in my apartment he was a skateboarder he was a nomad wait wait tell me were you an adult were you
i was in university okay and it was like a friend of a friend and he was
passing through he's from he's just a rambling rose just a skateboarding guy that was flying
by the seat of his pants and all he ever ever ever ate was mcdonald's and he would always like
buy two burgers and then keep one in his pocket and like skateboard all day and then like eat it
later like disgusting that is the best way to keep it warm in your pocket it was steaming yeah it's i we don't have taco bell
here oh we have it and maybe it's out in the suburbs but anytime i go to suburbs anytime i
go to america i stop and i have a... Have a gordita? What do I like?
I like the one that's like...
Oh, okay.
So it's like, yeah, you're right, Graham.
It's a gordita.
Hard wrapped and soft.
Right.
And it's like a little rhombus or something.
Yeah.
Is that the gordita?
Yeah, that sounds right.
It's a chunk wrap supreme.
Crunch wrap supreme.
Chunk wrap supreme. But this kid Crunch wrap supreme. Crunch wrap supreme.
But this kid with the cheeseburger in his pocket, I made a dinner, like a normal dinner.
I don't know what it was.
Chicken, veggies, whatever.
And he was like eating it and going, oh, God, my jaw.
He's like, I'm not used to chewing food.
That's how much he ate McDonald's.
He wasn't used to having to use his muscles in his face to eat chewing through chicken the softest of the meats yeah
for him it was like eating jerky like oh god ow
uh i like everything about this character his name was too. That was his name, Too Baked. Too Baked.
Too Baked.
Oh, man.
What were some other nicknames of people you barely knew?
My brother's the king of nicknames.
All his friends have crazy nicknames.
But Too Baked was the only one that sticks out to me.
Yeah.
I knew this.
I just remember in college, my roommate was telling a story about what she did over the summer.
And I was talking to my friend's slurp dog.
Excuse me?
Well, his name's Slurpy, but we call him Slurp Dog.
His name's not Slurpy.
It's like Slurp Dog what oh i had one my friend in high school we called her sweet tooth ruth because she was always like having gummies like always had candy that's cute that's good her name
was alana is alana but she was sweet tooth ruth that's did she like put that in her yearbook as like nicknames i think on instagram right now her
name is still ruthie nice yeah really stuck yeah was her name ruth no it's alana okay sorry i my
braid fell off uh there was a guy that i worked with at a catering company and he was a russian
guy and his name was t-con robot which then we turned into t-con robot yeah and t-conitron then t-conitron 2000 he keeps going through updates
yes there was a guy in college who lived in the dorms but he was always smoking so everyone kind
of knew him because he was always outside smoking.
Right.
Because he couldn't smoke inside.
And he had a beard.
And his nickname was Smokin' Beard.
Yeah.
And then later, there was a girl in the dorms who the story circulated about how she did a bunch of cocaine and had anal sex.
With Smokin' Beard?
With Smokin' Beard?
No. Unrelated. unrelated oh phew but but she got the nickname coke and butt
so there's smoking beard and coke and butt that is such an embarrassing rumor i'm sorry
because like because there's so there's there's a i don't, that kind of connotes to me that maybe the butt sex wasn't like, you know, thoughtfully executed.
It was in the mire of a cocaine frenzy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I mean, what better time I guess it also you've heard the like
urban legend about Stevie Nicks about how
like
her sinuses were
so messed up from doing so much cocaine
that like roadies had to blow cocaine
up her butt oh yes okay
you know what I didn't know if I'd heard that
until you said those last few words
I'm like yes yes
they would leave it to
the roadies of all people well roadies and chodis but like you would think you could find like a
someone more intimate yeah or like a corrupt doctor or something that stitches up mobsters
you know like he would probably have the equipment to do that. I'm picturing it like a paper towel tube.
Stay still, Stevie.
But like, couldn't you just do a few gummers?
Like, does it have to be up your butt?
We don't know all the cocaine terms.
Gummers is good though.
I can, I know exactly what it is.
It's the thing that police do at TV shows
Yeah it's the thing right above your sweet tooth
It's how you clean off your CD case
There was a guy
Or so I heard
There was a guy
Speaking of sweet tooth Ruth
There was a guy named Mark
But on the first week of college he had pink eyes
So people called him Pink Eye Pete
Oh my god I bet that stuck Yeah he's still to this day In the first week of college, he had pink eye, so people called him Pink Eye Pete. Oh, my God.
I bet that stuck.
Yeah.
He's still to this day.
Horrible.
Oh, my God.
That would be so bad because we all know there's only one way to get that.
That's right.
Well, there's only one thing that will give you that.
Poo germs.
Yeah, you hang out with smoking beard.
Yeah, you hang out with smoking beard.
Yeah, I heard that Pink Eye Pete,
he got high on cocaine
and then somebody
had just had anal sex and then rubbed it in his eye.
Well, you know what?
He wanted some cocaine.
Stevie Nicks farted.
A cloud of cocaine came up
uh yes this is all very well good yes very fun i never had the dorm experience i i went to
university but i never lived in like res or a dorm you just had an apartment yeah but it was like six me and five other friends from all from guelph

oh sorry sometimes i don't get humor i'm not kidding
like it's so crazy but sometimes i really don't get jokes it's so well you you said that
i said that when you were frozen so i was like i don't know if you heard it in real life i'm
gonna use that from now on and when something doesn't hit with me i'm like i'll say oh sorry i was
frozen i was frozen yeah there's a bit of lag there what did you study at university i studied
linguistics and i was gonna i was on the path to be a um speech pathologist. Oh, wow. What is that path?
What was the next part of the path?
So the linguistics and I had my focus
in like early childhood
language acquisition.
And then beyond that,
my next move was
going to be a master's
in speech pathology
where I would have to go
and have like clinical placements
and have all,
you got to jump through a lot of hoops.
Yeah. And where did it all go wrong?
It all went wrong when I took a job as a cocktail waitress at the Comedy Nest in Montreal.
Oh, yeah.
And then I got swept up in that and then utterly derailed.
utterly derailed.
And so like,
have you been in the comedy game ever since just as a standup or you do sketch stuff as well?
Um,
no,
I really do just do standup.
Really?
I saw you do a hilarious sketch at a comedy bar.
We played a ghost baseball player.
Right.
So,
uh,
in last Sabbath,
the only sketch I would do sketches with um marty tops yeah um so
he was the guy that was wrote those songs and did the baseball stuff so the only sketch i've really
dipped my toe in is because of my one of my colleagues of last sabbath who who was more
sketch and the sketch was that this guy had driven a bus full of kids off a bridge and felt awful about it
and then you were a kid from the from the bus that was like no it's okay we love you yeah yes
completely exonerating him um relieving him of all of his guilt and singing to him yeah but you
know what he had to stop doing that bit because of the actual bus.
Yes. Yeah. So that was it.
Which bus?
The magic school bus.
It was one episode of this magic school bus and then he had to stop. It was a bad one.
Yeah. That was not something that I had in my life, the magic school bus.
No, that was after me. i was right at the cusp yeah did you watch or did you decide not to i i i watched
a bit but i think i remember watching it in school yeah um but it's a bus that shrinks down and goes up. Yeah. And it's covered in cocaine and it goes up your butt.
If you need that.
Um,
we,
we are both,
uh,
born in 1980.
Oh,
I'm not saying that anymore.
What are you saying now,
Dave?
92.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Dave was born in 92. The 90s are really in right now so that's yeah yeah yeah people wearing bucket
hats yeah like crazy big soles on shoes uh like wild wild i saw somebody wearing crocs with like
a three inch sole i've seen those big crocs too yeah it's real it's real fu to fashion and the people around you yeah i love
it that's what is fashion now fashion is fu to fashion i think yeah that's right it's come full
circle yeah and then the next uh generation is going to be all suits they're going to be suits
and dresses suits yeah all seers all seersucker everybody will start wearing a hat again it'll be a real 40s and 50s revival
like
when we were younger
there was a swing dance revival
for some reason
oh I remember that like the Brian Setzer orchestra
like came back
but somehow somebody was like
it's back and everybody agreed
yeah who was that powerful
person that john fabbro that's right yeah swingers right swingers yeah wingers with their bowling
shirts and their shiny hair yes yeah they were money that movie is good i didn't think it was
good at the time yeah i think i liked it at the time because i was like that's what it is to be an adult all the swing dancing you can handle going to vegas but wait a minute
you guys i don't remember them actually swing dancing in that movie they do in the end yeah
heather graham big climax it kind of it's kind of like that's why i remember not liking the movie
i was like that was it oh i just remember them being in bars and like looking at girls yeah they played uh they played uh hockey on uh video game hockey yeah that was
so i remember there was favreau and then uh vince vaughn and then who was the other guy
wasn't there a third guy i don't know he was good though yeah i don't remember there even being a
third guy i don't you know what i obviously only saw it once and it was didn't stick with it was like who was the third guy in uh between affleck
and damon in goodwill hunting they had a third friend robin williams no like a young man wasn't
it casey affleck no he was the little brother in it though he was in it he was in it casey affleck was in goodwill hunting wasn't he like
one of the friends that makes sense um yeah i i've only seen goodwill once and i i did not
understand why everybody said it was so good no i get that as well like it has its fun moments when he's crying yeah when it's not his fault well i love
mini driver though so yeah that was the that was the real mimi sans was uh around that time i can't
remember what else she was in circle of friends oh yeah with her irish accent she was in something
in i just looked her up or i looked up another movie early like a
couple years before that she was in uh was it batman returns no that was michelle pfeiffer
um sleepers it was sleepers oh what is sleepers sleepers is this thing um uh with brad pitt and jason patrick and uh it's like got it's a thing
where the i i last week we were talking about my old tumblr kid casting yeah where it was and that
was one of the movies that had the most like kid versions of adult actors oh oh jason patrick was
so charming he was such a handsome boy. Yeah.
What has happened to Jason Patrick?
Is he still with us?
I saw him in something recently and I didn't even recognize him for a while.
What was it?
Sleepers?
No, it wasn't sleepers.
That would be a fun if you were going to like a drive-in.
If it was like sleepers, swingers, and then another.
And sneakers.
Sneakers, yeah.
You know what? a drive-in
was one of my first jobs and it was the most fun job ever well what do you do concession i i did
concession yes concession and then sometimes i'd take take money from cars sometimes nice
but yeah basically just concession and if anyone left their uh keys in the car i'd go
drive the car around a football field.
Put it through the fence.
But it was great because my boss, the owner of the drive-in, there was always two movies back to back.
And he would always leave after the first one.
So like second one, I ran the place.
Yeah, nice.
I answered to no one.
I was like 16.
That rules.
Yeah, I feel like.
Yeah, deep frying chocolate bars.
Yeah, movie theater was like the top of the teen job hierarchy when I was a kid.
That or maybe if you're lucky enough to work at a video store.
Oh, that would be good.
Those were the one and two.
Yeah.
Like I applied to so many jobs and like for summer jobs and stuff.
Yeah.
And I never got any.
I applied to movie theaters and didn't get it.
And I was devastated.
I think if you,
if I had like tried to get a full-time non summer job,
my odds would have been better,
but,
but you guys lived in the big city,
you know,
that's why there was so many people applying for all the jobs.
Me,
I lived in the middle of nowhere.
I was once told that like,
Oh yeah,
the college college ended two months ago.
All the college students got the jobs already.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can't,
and you can't compete as a,
I was going to say as an elementary school kid,
but yeah,
I was in elementary school.
As a toddler,
whose mom has to come to work with you.
You can't compete.
Bring your mom to work every day.
But you know what?
Some of these kids with the summer jobs now
like at the garden centers dave yeah these kids are not i'm not i don't mean to sound old and
crotchety but like they're really not very nice yeah yeah there's a do you think so disgruntled
yeah i've got my overheard later is going to be all about that about a cranky
cranky customer service yeah i don't feel uh ever like i feel like it's always correct for
customer service people to be upset because it's the worst job in the world next to like
mind detector or something like that yeah next to the mind detecting donkey i keep getting asked online
to sponsor mind detecting rats i don't sponsor anything anymore i think of a tax tax the rich
have them pay for the rat yeah the um did you get up to like crazy shenanigans at the drive-in?
Yes. I remember there. Well, there was this ring, this kind of this scheme that this one kid was doing where he would he worked at the booth where the people went in and like paid their money.
Yeah. And he would be like not charging for how many people were in the car he'd
be like pocketing some money nice and and my boss made me he was on to it and he made me
count the people in the cars and he like cross-referenced it with however many tickets
were sold or whatever and and basically he made me um uh help him bust my friend.
You were Serpico.
Yes.
Yeah.
It was Serpico.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was Pirico.
Yes.
Yes.
And it sucked because then that guy, my friend, got fired.
Did he know that you betrayed him?
Yeah.
But I said, what did you want me to do?
What could I do?
Because if I'm lying,
then I need to get my job.
Did you at least warn him?
I couldn't because there was no,
I couldn't,
like we didn't have cell phones even.
But it was, oh, it was the day,
like you didn't get any.
No, no warning.
Okay.
But it was just like,
you here right now count the people
and all I could do was give him the count.
And I didn't know if he for sure was doing that like um what's the word i'm looking for
all of those yeah but but yeah that was a crazy thing but um yeah we would always just eat so
much food and deep fried chocolate bars and like yes and oh, this coolest girl. I have like secondhand nostalgia.
Of deep frying chocolate bars?
Of just eating food.
I've never in my life
been to a drive-in.
Oh my God,
what?
You got to.
I'm from the big city,
kid.
Wow.
You wouldn't last a second
out here.
I'm starstruck.
Yeah, a lot of stuff.
What were the movies during your era?
What were the popular drive-in films?
I remember a huge, huge weekend was when it was the Alien vs. Predator was out.
Yes.
That was big time.
Yeah, that was the fight everybody hoped for.
You know what?
I was smoking so much weed that like
I can't even think of
other movies that were playing that summer.
I love that you were there
at 16 after being arrested
at 15.
Yeah, no, you can hire me. Oh, I'm
totally trustworthy. Oh yeah, just
gotta do a little bit of community
service. Oh yeah, my references? A bunch of these
jail guys my dad hangs out with. Well, first of all, I got my dad a little bit of community service. My references? A bunch of these jail guys my dad hangs out with.
Well, first of all, I got my dad's jail friends that will
vouch for me, plus the friends I made in jail
that night.
Oh, boy.
You can call any one of these guys.
And I never got hired for a job because
I'm shy.
But now, in fairness,
I only got that job because it was just friends saying, oh, this is my friend here.
My friend can work here, too.
I don't even remember being interviewed, I don't think.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's how it works.
It's all who you know.
Dave, what's going on with you, man?
Well, we did just have a giant heat wave.
It was a hot one.
It was like seven inches from the midday sun.
Oh, my God.
No, it was like really, like we don't get a hot weather.
Yeah.
We get usually like a hot day is like 27.
Yeah.
So no one was prepared for this.
Not in any way, shape, or form.
It was like, I drove to my sister's house on Sunday, and my car said it was 41 degrees.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
But you get that, like, quite often in Toronto, don't you?
Like a 40-degree day?
Yeah, it really cooks here.
It really cooks.
And I didn't want to brag about here it really cooks and i don't i
didn't want to brag about this to anyone and i won't but i will say just state for the state
for the record that this is the first summer i've ever had ac like proper central air yeah and i
really because the last apartment i lived in was third floor under a flat black roof with no outdoor space and we were
literally cooking alive wow it was like an oven and Nutlin the cat was so hot because she has a
double layer of fur like a husky and she was like this panting like a dog all summer
yeah that's biblical yeah so I said no never again and i found this new place
to live in and it's it's the best thing i've ever done for nutland yeah um so our hot weather's
moving east so you'll get it in a couple days but um uh they i saw a news story yesterday we have
like on my cable package i can watch channels in different cities.
And I, for some reason,
was on the Edmonton, Alberta news.
And they were saying,
there was a story about these roofers
who were roofing a house.
And they were like,
you know, some days it's not even worth it
because like the shingles can't take it.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they said that on the roof,
it was 80 degrees.
That's so cool. By the way way that's celsius for american listeners any any temperature we mentioned double it and at 30 80 celsius yeah
like all water boils at 100 yeah yeah that's unlivable like they can't be up there they can't
be up there yeah i tried to get uh a coffee coffee like on one of the hotter days and all the coffee
shops were closed because they were like it's too hot like you can't yeah they won't let you drink
coffee yeah that's right i went to get coffee i buy my coffee beans at a coffee shop and they give
uh you a free coffee when you buy your beans.
And they said, would you like a free coffee?
And I said, yeah.
Do you have like a cold brew?
And they said, yes, but we're sold out of ice.
Yeah.
So you can take a hot coffee or you can have a hot coffee, let it sit.
Yeah.
You can have a cold brew and just, if you have, I was like, and I took a cold brew and I was like, I have some ice at home.
You're lucky you had ice at home in that weather.
I know.
No, it was like, I mean, first of all, I was wearing a garbage bag because I need to shed weight to fight Logan Paul.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I forgot the big Logan Paul fights coming up.
Yeah. You're fighting Logan Paul?
Yeah, in the Japanese suicide forest.
He's going back in there?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, he really didn't
face any repercussions for it,
so I don't blame him.
He also doesn't see,
he seems to be above repercussions
because everybody's like,
what are we going to do?
Ignore him?
Forget it.
It's me and him.
It's like, all right,
well, maybe I won't get repercussions. Maybe he'll'll rub off on me i'm tired of these cushions um uh no it was uh very uh
horrible well like we don't we have air conditioning here yeah uh but we never like we
use it sparingly for you know birthdays money reasons oh yeah like i don't want to have
a running all day long yeah and it doesn't really get that hot if we just have the windows open like
we get a nice breeze through but it was there was no breeze we had to like we had to cave and
use it 24 hours a day oh god you know what as much what? As much as I love it, I don't like existing in
the air conditioning as much as it's necessary.
I hate not having
the sounds coming in from outside
and it's just, it's not my
thing. I love to have the window open.
I love to eavesdrop, hear what's going on.
I love to hear the birds chirping.
You should just play like some sort of
soundtrack in the background.
Bird track? Well, I have a few birds I've recorded on my phone.
There you go.
From your Sicilian grandfather.
He really has.
It's in my blood to always be attuned to these things.
There was a bird outside my window recently that I'm not kidding you.
It sounded like dial-up.
He was doing a dial-up internet sound.
It was so crazy.
He was like.
Like. I was like like i was like whoa i recorded him on my phone i keep listening back to him that's great everything about that is great good for you for keep listening back
so we uh yeah it was like we we have a like like a little shell plastic pool for the kids.
Yeah.
Nice.
That we rarely use and it was just going, we had it all day long.
And it was like, it would warm up in the day and the kids would be like, this is too hot now.
Oh no, it became a shell hot tub.
Yeah, it was a shell koozie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, there was a woman, I was like on a patio and there was a woman
who had this weekend uh yeah this past weekend yeah my parents were in town so i had to do all
the outdoor stuff it was there was no there was no way to do all indoor stuff you know did they
have an air-conditioned hotel room uh no they stayed in an airbnb it was
it was cool airbnb and c okay um but the uh uh there was a woman that had a big dog and the dog
was gonna sit there while she ate and she had like a bed for it and i was like
this is the best this should be the gold standard that everybody who goes to a patio a like a bar
patio with a dog bed yeah so that her dog who's sitting out uh waiting for her was it a cooling
gel bed it was a bed and then there was a blanket and then also a thing so it could have a drink of water.
Did she put a cooling gel mask on it like American Psycho?
Yeah, yes.
The dog had a cooling mask and had one of those that you put your laptop on, that kind of gel cooling thing.
We have a little, like, we have a puppy.
Mm-hmm.
A little monster.
Puppy. Mm-hmm. A little monster. Puppy's worth. Monster. Puppy's worth.
Little monster.
He's, what, 12 weeks old now?
Oh.
He's just darling.
He's just tiny.
What style of dog?
What style?
Doggy style.
24-7.
And he is, no, he's a Boston Terrier Chihuahua.
Oh, okay.
Small guy.
Small guy.
Currently about seven, eight pounds.
That's a good size.
Well, we're hoping he beefs up.
So is he black and white like a Boston Terrier?
No.
His dad is a brown Chihuahua and his mother is a brown Boston.
So he's a brown guy.
Okay.
Cute sounding.
Yeah.
He's a little caramel guy.
He's a little caramel boy and he's just darling.
But before we had the air conditioning on, we were just putting out like a little,
like a drink tray,
because he's so small,
he can just fit on a little tray.
And we just put a bunch of ice cubes on it.
He would go stand on the ice cube tray and eat the ice cubes.
Fun.
I wish I had.
Oh, and he's smart too.
No.
Well, compared to a cat,
a cat cannot help itself when it's hot.
Because I bought Nutland a cooling mat,
like I call it chili pad.
Yeah.
When we didn't have the AC last summer.
And you'd put her on it.
And obviously, it's cooler.
And she just wouldn't sit on it.
She would sit right beside it, panting like a dog.
Oh, brother.
So even the dumbest dog is smarter than that.
Yeah.
No, our last dog was really dumb i think our
new dog might be smarter than our last dog you just have to give them the place listening no
it's fine i don't mind like i think it's endearing to have a dumb animal yeah yeah like i also don't
want him to be able to like outsmart me yeah you don't want that our dumb dog our last dog all like got really close a lot of
yeah yeah that's right trapped you in a maze if you lock them up in a if they can like figure
their way out of a cage and you're like okay well now do i need to get a padlock for this
yeah exactly i need to hide the keys yeah and he starts looking under all our my chachkis um but yeah we had a heat wave it was actually super bad like apparently there were hundreds
of people died yeah it was like a real deal i don't it's it feels bizarre because it
it's like it wasn't like an event with with like a it wasn't like an explosion or something yeah
no it's it but it's like you we live in a city where very rarely do people have air conditioning
so if you were just in your house and you were like yeah or if you're out on the street like
it's uh terrible oh yeah it's and i it's kind of just a number at this point.
Like I,
if 300 people died doing something else,
I maybe would be able to compute it,
but it's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No,
it's not.
I don't want to say no,
it's funny.
No,
it's interesting and sad.
Okay.
In the deep dead of winter that I think the numbers are similar.
Sure.
Right?
But I guess it just happens every year
that it's not broadcasted as much.
Yeah.
I know.
It's...
The world, the earth can still kill us.
Yes.
Oh, and it's going to get better at it.
Yeah.
It's going to get way better.
It's picking up steam. Yeah. My God. Yeah, because it was nothing... yes oh and it's gonna get better at it yeah it's gonna get way better yeah my god um yeah because
it was nothing like even there was a news report about will the power grid hold during this kind
of thing because like every single house is using quadruple the power or whatever yeah yes and so
like i guess a lot of cities in the states their power grid went down completely and then
then you know then you've got a situation where people even who have air conditioning can't use
it so everyone's just sweltering you know but on monday uh uh my daughter is in bike camp this week
yeah and uh we we got an email from the bike camp saying we're just gonna we're gonna go ahead just
bring extra water.
But there was nowhere to like,
the email was from do not reply.
So I didn't know where to be like,
she's not coming.
Yeah, she's not coming.
Yeah.
Your dumb water plan sucks.
And got a call 30 minutes into the,
like 9.30 in the morning.
Is she coming?
No.
Is anyone there? Yeah, just like roasting with all your body heat leaving your head and swirling around in a helmet
yeah oh man and for me like 20 25 degrees anything above 25 degrees is 50 degrees yes yeah exactly like i don't like heat so
but yeah even like driving with the like we tried the driving with the windows down and usually it's
the equivalent of having air conditioning in the car but it was it was just like being in front of
a hair dryer probably it was like driving through an oven yeah yeah but you get that in toronto
that's
like an every year kind of thing isn't it yeah every year it's hot as hell yeah i'll be honest
like it was it was not the hottest temperature i've ever felt yeah toronto's like toronto and
montreal in the summer are i hate it i really do hate it you know it's funny it's like the older i
get the less i can put up with it like i have my
tolerance emotionally and physically is like dwindling each year for the heat when i was like
a teen or in my 20s early 20s i was baking in the sun maybe it wasn't as hot but i was baking in the
sun tanning yeah like didn't affect me and now it makes me feel sickly and sick and old. It makes me feel old like an old mummy cat in a bin.
Well, I often feel like when I complain about, oh, it's 27 degrees,
people are like, oh, this is what we wait all winter for.
Yeah, this is it.
This is it.
Oh, get out on the beach.
And those people were awfully silent this weekend.
I bet.
I bet. I bet.
And I don't like when people do that because it's like, you know what?
You can dislike both.
You can dislike extremes.
It's okay to dislike extremes.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
But I do like Extreme, the band.
Oh, yeah.
Sure.
Oh, with Adno, Reddy, and Booboo.
Already No
That is such a weird band name
for a band that sings that song.
But I think in general
they didn't sing that song.
In general.
More often than not
they sang other songs.
I believe I have not heard another song by Xtreme.
If you don't like, would you something, get the funk out.
Whoa, is that for real?
That's Xtreme.
Because that was Xtreme.
Yeah, that was Xtreme.
So that's where they got the name.
That makes sense.
Wow.
The lead singer of Xtreme was Gary Cherone, who became, Graham, do you know, he became the lead singer of?
Blue Oyster Cult?
Van Halen.
Van Halen.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
Like, was he the third replacement?
He replaced Sammy Hagar.
Okay.
And Extreme, the other prominent member was Nuno Betancourt, who was a beautiful man.
He played guitar.
He was just like a gorgeous man.
I used to read guitar magazines, and I was like, well, sure.
If I was Nuno Betancourt, I could do that.
I could play that riff.
Sure, yeah.
His name's Nuno?
Yeah.
Nuno Beton?
Nuno Betancourt.uno Bettencourt.
Check him out.
Yeah, look him up.
If he was my boyfriend and he was, like, so hot,
and girls would be, like, going up to him saying,
can I have your number?
And I'd come up and say, it's Nuno your business,
what his number is.
That's good.
Good catchphrase.
Yeah. Really good. It's a good catch really good
it's a long
catch
it's Nuna
your business
what his number
is but
I like it
I love it
so that's what's
going on with me
I'm the new
lead singer of
Extreme
congratulations
he had a nose
ring
yeah I'm
googling him
now
yeah I'm right he was really handsome he was
really handsome yeah i can't wait i love looking at handsome guys um whenever i'm listening to like
i always listen to podcasts about you know it's typical it's fairly basic i listen to podcasts
about murders murder most foul blah blah blah yeah and they're always going on about like oh
and i always listen to ones from the australian's a lot of like, I guess, crazy stuff going on over there.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're committing murder over here, I reckon.
Yeah.
And all the girls like that are being interviewed are always like, oh, this guy was so hot.
He was the hottest.
He's the hottest bloke in the town.
He's so hot, so hot.
And I'll always look up the guy and he's disgusting.
Like I always am like, oh, I can't wait to'll always look up the guy and he's disgusting. Like I always,
I'm like,
Ooh,
I can't wait to see how hot this bad guy was.
They've got a skewed perception over there.
Who's hot.
Who's not.
Yeah.
What about,
uh,
what's his name?
Ramirez,
the night stalker.
He was,
he was supposedly so handsome that people had to be kicked off the jury
because.
Yeah.
But,
but,
but then everyone that's describing him to the police was like, he stunk like
a pile of garbage.
He stunk.
Like everyone that described him said he had the worst BO.
Like, okay.
It doesn't matter how hot you actually are.
If I knew, if someone told me you have BO, I can only see you through that lens now.
Yes.
We used to talk about what celebrities we thought smelled
the worst yeah i forget where we landed what celebrity do you think smells the worst oh um
okay well clive owen always has kind of like a sheen yeah he does kind of have a sheen yeah
um sort of like he's been has a layer of. So he kind of looks maybe sweaty.
But being sweaty doesn't mean you stink necessarily. Yeah, I would go with like post Malone.
Oh, for sure.
He looks like he reeks.
And you know what?
I was telling Graham this on the quiz show.
I was like, I'm a super smeller.
That's right.
If someone stinks, I ain't forgetting it.
Yeah. Who's the best smelling person you've
ever smelled oh um how can you be a super smeller and have a kitty litter box so close to you
but it helps if you love the cat oh okay oh sure that makes yeah because you know what? Other cats poop, I don't like the smell of it.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Hot take.
You're admitting to liking the cat's poop smell.
But who's the best smelling person?
You know, there's a cologne I really like that whenever someone's wearing it,
I think they're the best smelling person.
Okay.
Do you know what the name of it is yeah it's lalabo um it's santal 33 by lalabo lalabo 33 it's like ooh la la fancy i have a knock
off yeah yeah i know it i know it i don't know i know lalabo i don't know the i wouldn't know if i
sent any kind of like cedary smell i really really like when someone has like a cedary kind of like Santel's smell.
Yeah.
You know what?
I'm very sensitive to clones.
I don't like when guys actually wear a lot of clone.
It makes me feel sick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You got to be sparing with this, fellas.
Yeah.
Little dab behind the ear will do you.
I have like a lime smelling uh beard
cream oh that's uh now it's not just from the grocery store in that little green lime is it
yeah it's in the green lime you squeeze it out it's like real lemon brand serum from the fish section of the grocery store here are the smells i like lime love it love lime
cucumber yeah fresh mint oh yeah give it to me you know i could put those all three of those
into a pitcher of water for you yeah that's fine yeah it sounds pretty good what is it limes
cucumbers and what mint i thought you said meat. I was like, yeah.
I could put some cubes of meat into a nice pitcher of water for you.
You want some meat sangria?
Yeah, just for us.
I really also like the smell of like rubbery smell.
Like, okay, do you remember those ball, like, of course, the ball that was like red, white, and blue, like kind of bouncy ball?
Yeah.
Or the smell of like bouncy balls from a machine at the bowling alley there's like this specific sweet
very 90s rubber smell that's like my favorite what about like a beach ball or shower curtain
uh and i'm not so big on that plasticky okay i know that smell it's good
look i'm not knocking your smell.
But like, can you even go in a dollar store?
Because I feel like everything in there has a weird smell, like off gassing or something like that.
Yeah, it is strong.
But know what the worst store is for that?
And I don't think that you two would have much cause to go in there.
Maybe you, Dave, for your daughter.
But Ardenne?
Oh, yeah.
Does Ardenne do kids clothes? I don't think so. Maybe it's just, well, it's but our den. Oh, yeah. Does our den do kids clothes?
I don't think so.
Maybe it's just, well, it's like old accessories.
I don't know.
Maybe it's not that young, but it's so plasticky smelling in there.
It's crazy.
My kids are always begging me.
Can we please go in our den?
I remember when I was a little girl, I would beg to go in there.
Can we go to Cotton Ginny, Dad?
Dad, please.
Northern Reflections, please, Dad.
Cotton Ginny.
Nice.
Graham, what's going on with you?
Yeah, it's just, you know, like you say, it was hot.
And I got to say, Graham, was this the hottest?
Probably the hottest, yeah.
And a gentleman, comedian, here in Vancouver, posted a picture on his Instagram that he keeps his deodorant, when it's hot like this, in the fridge.
So I did this, and let me tell you, it's the best goddamn thing I've ever done in my life.
It is the best.
It's the perfect sensation.
I wouldn't do it in the winter, but rolling on deodorant that's cold i don't know
why this isn't a suggestion i don't know why they don't tell you to put it in a fridge because it's
great oh sure that sounds great like batteries in the freezer um what do you do you what kind
of deodorant do you use that was my question i'm using a speed stick yeah yeah is it a solid or is
it like the ones that's like a like a see-through solid yes a
white solid no see-through solid no aluminum it's it's
you cannot so none of these natural deodorants you gotta use a speed stick in the summer maybe
yeah maybe you can use a natural deodorant in in the wintertime in the fall i think it's kind of fun
to experiment with new deodorants you know but this is like you need you need chemicals yes you
need strong chemicals and but i'm telling you if uh if you're not uh keeping your speed stick cool
in the fridge you're missing out because it uh that's something i'm gonna try yeah i'd love to
know what section of the fridge you put it in.
Is it in the dairy container?
Or is it in the side door?
Can I guess?
Yeah.
Dave?
Yeah.
I'm guessing it's in the side door with between like ketchup and mayonnaise.
Jackie, what do you want to guess?
I can picture it there.
Yeah.
Because, you know, wedging it up between some bottles.
I'm with Dave.
And it is like a condiment for your skin.
Yeah, it's a condiment, yeah, for your armpit.
You guys are 100% correct.
It is in the condiment section in the door,
right next to baseball mustard.
What's baseball mustard?
What's baseball mustard?
Just yellow mustard?
Yeah, like yellow classic mustard.
I call it baseball mustard.
Baseball mustard.
That's so cute.
How many mustards do you have?
Two.
I have like a classic Dijon and then a baseball.
And, you know, the baseball is like not in a squeeze bottle.
It's in a glass jar, which I like.
If I can buy anything in a glass jar, I will.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
So it's but that's where the deodorant is hugging up against the baseball mustard.
But I insist everybody who is hearing me talk about this, try cold deodorant.
Yeah.
What about would you consider the freezer?
I would consider the freezer.
My only feeling is that it might crack upon.
It might compromise the chemicals.
You might not get enough
oh it might be too cold to actually get on it might stick to your armpit then you rip your
skin oh yeah christmas story um jackie what uh how many mustards do you have um right now i think i
have two and one is the classic baseball which i think I'll always call it baseball now.
And then I have a honey mustard,
which is like a Dijon.
I have like a honey Dijon something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, try this out.
Try out this deodorant hack.
I will.
And then the other thing,
my folks were in town for the weekend.
Oh yeah, where do your folks live?
They live in Calgary
Well look
Here's how many mustards
I have
Thanks for asking
I've got a classic Dijon
I've got an Ikea
Swedish
I've got
Kolsik's brand
Kind of a smoky guy
I've got
Oh you know
Just for kind of like
Marinades and stuff
I have a
Boy what's the brand?
I don't know.
But it's like an English mustard.
It's very horseradish-y.
Proper.
Oh, love.
And that may be it for me right now.
Okay, but keep us posted on any.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If any mustards come up
throughout this episode,
I will let you know.
I've started buying
just a jar of horseradish
because, you know what?
It doesn't get put in enough stuff
and it can get put on everything. Just everything you'd put mustard on or anything, put some creamy horseradish because you know what it doesn't get put in enough stuff and it can get put on everything just everything you'd put mustard on or anything put some creamy horseradish on it too
yeah why not live live your life on your own terms you know what i mean i love it unacceptable sauce
so uh my parents were in town it had uh the previous week was my dad's birthday so i got
him for his birthday uh like a paddle boarding time because he had
expressed interest in paddle boarding so i got him like a lesson but it wasn't really a lesson
it was just like the rental of the thing and somebody went out with you and kind of showed you
for five minutes how it works and then you paddle around so uh he did that and i stayed on a super
hot day on a super hot day i stood on the shore and then found a rock that was under some shade.
So I sat on a rock in the shade with my mom, who also did not want to paddleboard.
You stand up and paddleboard.
You can kneel.
It just depends on your level of comfort.
But yeah, you're supposed to stand and paddle.
And what did your dad do?
He stood and paddled.
Wow.
Yeah.
Got a very good core.
Yeah, he's got a great core.
Your dad has a great core?
He does, yeah.
He's got a great core.
He didn't pass it on to me.
One of those core dads?
Yeah, he's a core dad.
Yeah, he's a core dad.
That's right.
I always wonder how these dads are getting these cores.
He runs all the time.
And if he's not running he's
cross-country skiing it's he's always exercising so sports dad sports dad absolutely sports dad
um and then uh so i was at the beach i haven't been to the beach i would say conservatively
in nine years what yeah i don't do it i won't do it i don't like it uh it's too hot it's too sandy
it's too hot hot damn that's right dragon want to retire man
no it's too hot hot damn makes me not want to go on the sand that's all right that's really good
yeah okay now we're getting it now we're getting that all right. That's really good. Yeah. Okay. Now we're getting it. Now we're getting it. All right. Groovy.
So, so,
but something that not being a beach goer,
I don't know what,
I don't know what trends come and go.
Baving suit wise.
I have no idea.
sure.
Like Borat.
Yeah,
exactly.
The Borat,
the long board trunks from the Fred Durst era.
Uh,
you know,
one piece suits from,
you know,
the turn of the century with
bathing caps um i don't know what but i know you witness i witnessed so many butts just like
real thong city usa uh generally female yes no all the guys were still in the dumb board short
era that they haven't they haven't caught on to the fun of like showing off your goods.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Which beach was it on English Bay?
This was in,
uh,
Oh,
we're getting a bird call.
This sounds like the internet.
Let me record this.
Let me record it.
Uh, it wasn't English Bay bay but it was because english bay was
closed closed for e coli oh no because of the geese maybe because of graham's dad really it's
people e coli i think so isn't my. Anyways, people keep putting cubes of meat into the water.
Cause I love the smell.
I love it.
Yeah.
Um,
anyways,
that's what I've,
I've learned.
What is the fashion in bathing suits?
It's butts.
It's butts.
Yeah.
I should go to the beach.
Sons of buns out.
Um,
well in here in Toronto,
the only beach I, beach i i'm a beach
person i love the beach um and the beach i like to go to has pure butts out and pure butts and
dicks and privates and boobs out is the nude beach oh you go to a nude island yeah that's
hanlon's point on toronto island but i've been to wreck beach too in vanc Vancouver are you a nudist no I well I go without a top but legit just for um
just safety reasons I don't go without bottoms in the sand yeah right that's true it's different
for girls especially with so much E.coli oh yes but I've actually done stand-up at a naturist resort oh shit naked people and i had to be naked all naked and how was that to me
how much did that pay not enough did you have to picture the crowd with clothes on so that you were
and the craziest part was it had to be a relatively not super clean but relatively
clean set because there was children in the audience
yes uh naked kids and there was some swearing and then i remember the guy who was like
introing the show was like okay parents now listen there's no guarantee that this is going to be
there might be a swear here and there so it's up to the parents if the kids are allowed to stay
and i remember looking at this kid and kind of being like can we stay mommy can we stay and she goes okay and he goes yes yes yes and meanwhile he's surrounded by naked dicks yeah
and like but it was exciting to him to maybe hear a swear yeah because yeah exactly naked dicks the
big deal swearing is it yeah that's his like every day is naked dicks like he's like it was like his parents
are at a resort but they're also naked parents and that's how he'll rebel as a teenager he'll
wear a snowsuit everywhere snowsuit but there was naked just like thomas in the uh book by
robert munch that's right that's right um did it like did it go well the set i did you know what i'm sad to say i've done this show twice
and it was back when i was newer much newer yeah and uh you know i didn't i didn't set
as many standards for myself with pay yeah um but i did it twice you'll be paid in pubes and yeah you know what i did have i did have good it was a good crowd i did i did well it
was good enough to make me go back i guess yeah was it uh were you able to like how far from
town was it were you able to leave after the show uh yes yeah we didn't have to stay overnight but it was like an hour and a half away okay but
it was up in barry so you had to spend the whole day there you have to spend the whole freaking
day there though like before the show you get up there early you have to be naked you can't
enter the property with clothes on it's a rule so like security just has a belt with pepper spray. They did.
Did they really have a belt?
Yeah, because this guy had a belt with a walkie talkie.
And because he was taking us on a tour of the grounds and we're all naked.
He's naked.
And then we get into this like mess hall kind of like dining area.
Talk about your mess hall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You like to wear a bib.
like dining area talk about your mess hall
yeah
you like to wear a bib
and there was a man in there
fully clothed
and the guy
the runner of the resort
like the owner of it
who
that's a whole other story
yeah
but he's like
hello
can I help you
and the guy was sitting there like
I like it here
and then he
and then the guy gets on the radio
security to the mess hall
and the guy
We've got a textile.
Oh man.
Even the cooks
the cooks
do the cooks have to be naked with an apron?
I guess they must.
They must.
This marinara is burning my balls.
I can't splatter everywhere.
You have to bring a towel.
You have to walk around with a towel.
You have to sit on a towel everywhere you go for hygiene purposes.
I already do because I sweat through my shorts.
That's really conscientious of you to bring your butt towel.
I like this place.
Yeah, he was like, I like it here.
I'm just taking a look around, I like it.
And they were like, get this guy out of here.
And like, it was true, get this guy out of here.
But you know what?
Man, he looked comfortable in those clothes.
I was so jealous of him at that moment.
He's got thick corduroy.
But when you get cold at a nudist resort,
if you are a naturist,
a true, blue are a naturist, yeah, a true blue,
genuine nature is,
you know that if you do get cold,
you lose heat from your trunk.
So the first thing you do is you put a hat on and remain naked.
Right.
And then if you really cold,
you put on a sweater and it was chilly at night.
This one time I was there.
So there's a bunch of freaking guys with sweaters with their dinks,
like swinging below the sweater.
It was so bizarre.
The worst look that a man can possibly have.
Horrible.
Horrible look.
Have a sweater and no pants and maybe a hat.
Oh,
you better have the hat.
Cause if you don't have the hat,
you have no business putting on the sweater.
That's true.
Yeah.
That's the rules.
That's the rules.'s the rules wow um
should we move on to some overheards i think we have a bit of business
oh everybody it's a business time and are you recording graham i hope so i sure am and there's

Hello, Internet.
I'm your husband host, Travis McElroy.
And I'm your wife host, Teresa McElroy.
Every week on Schmanners, we take a look at a topic that has to do with society or manners.
We talk about the history of it. We take a look at how it applies to everyday life,
and we take some of your questions.
And sometimes we do a biography
about a really cool person
that had an impact on how we view etiquette.
So join us every Friday
and listen to Schmanners on MaximumFun.org
or wherever podcasts are found.
Manners Schmanners.
Get it?
Manners schmanners. Get it?
Overheard.
Overheards.
All you people out there, there's a lot of stuff.
There's a lot of chatter going on out there in the world.
And your mission is to cut through the chatter, find a gold nugget, and then bring it back to the podcast.
We always like to start with the guests.
Jackie, you have't overheard.
Yes, I heard a kid on the street.
I hear a lot of kids say stuff because I'm like pretty much their same height.
So I'm really in the mix.
What's your height, Jackie?
Well, I was five foot nothing, but the doctor says I'm now 4'11". What the hell?
Ah, boy.
You know what the doctor told me?
What? No more monkeys jumping in the what the doctor told me? What?
No more monkeys jumping in the bed.
Is that right?
Yeah.
My doctor told me that I need good lovin'.
Oh, boy.
So, go ahead, Jackie.
Whenever you're ready, you're with the kids.
You're mingling with the children.
So, this kid, we stopped at a light to cross the street,
and a big, ugly dog was there and the kid was like yeah like a really like big mean ugly
whatever pit bull style or something and he he says he says um can that dog he asked his parents
can that dog eat a person and And then I looked to the parents
because I wanted to hear what they would say
because truly this dog could do anything
it said it's mind to.
And so I want to hear what they think.
But the parents were, honest to God,
making out hardcore
and were ignoring his question.
So this kid is face to face with this monster mutant yeah asks a really reasonable question
and he can't even get affirmation that he's safe from being devoured by this thing yeah his parents
are like you're killing the vibe over here kid yeah play with that dog kid the dog could
absolutely kill you i don't know if it would eat you.
Someone would intervene before it probably gobbled you up.
Yeah.
But get your arm or your leg and then you'd be freed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You just hope it doesn't immediately go for your vital organs.
Yeah, that's right.
But even if the dog spared him, what life is this kid leading where, you know, his parents are second face?
Yeah, exactly.
I don't think I've ever seen my parents make out.
And I consider myself blessed in that regard.
I am with you.
I've never seen my parents full blown make out, but I used to see my friends parents make out.
And even as a kid, I'm like, oh, if my parents don't do that and i like that i'm glad they don't
yeah there's something that happens to people's lips after 30 where you just don't want to see
them touch other people's lips there was uh what was the movie i think it was something's got to
give uh and there was a bad kiss in that, like a famously horrible, just real mushy old people.
Because it was Jack Nicholson, right?
Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
And so they were really smooching up.
But I don't know why.
Here's a question.
Why in movies do they not just take out the sound, the mayonnaise-y sound of kissing?
The mayonnaise-y sound?
Yeah, it sounds like a mayonnaise, like if you put your finger in mayonnaise.
Oh, yeah.
That's how they foliate.
That's right.
But they do take that sound out, don't they?
Surely they do.
No, it's every time I've seen it on screen.
Yeah.
Exactly.
They've just made somebody barf.
Do you know what the Swedish word for mayonnaise is?
What?
My own ass.
My own ass.
So I'm spreading my own ass.
I'm eating my own ass.
Yeah, it tastes like my own ass.
Pretty good.
Dave, do you have an overheard?
I keep my deodorant tucked between my own ass pretty good dave do you have an overheard keep my deodorant tucked between my own ass
um i mentioned my overheard was about people at the garden center right yeah um so i've been going
to the garden center a lot lately and what was the special day i decided to go to the garden center
it's heaven on earth the garden center is heaven on earth it felt like it was
a special day for me why was it special for me not my birthday not father's day not father's day
i don't know um garden center day i guess yeah i guess so i was like i had 10 extra minutes And I went to Which is very very fancy
You can get your plants cheaper elsewhere
I wasn't getting plants
I
Getting a little fertilizer
Getting a couple
$4 bags of fertilizer
And
The dudes
They have in the summertime they have an outdoor checkout area
set up and there's a bunch of dudes sitting around workers sitting on the ground oh no i
should i'll bleep out where i said i went don't want to get them in trouble yeah uh but uh they
uh yeah they were just sitting around on the ground and I had these two bags of mushroom manure.
And I was like, is this open?
And the three of them got up and said, yeah, yeah, okay, we'll check you out.
And finishing up their conversation as one of them went to the checkout and I heard the other one say,
yeah, if I'm going to be groggy all day, I just can't wake and bake anymore.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's what I realized.
I mean, I guess if you work at a garden center,
you don't, you can be,
you could be baked all day.
You could be baked all day.
And also you're begging,
you know, at a garden center,
they're begging you to start your own mushroom farm or, yeah's true you know you got all that fertilizer i did get the mushroom
manure and i i have been microdosing with it four bucks that's great bang for your butt i know the
sign said the sign said it was 12 bucks and i uh And I guess I misread the sign.
I got a great deal.
Yeah.
Nice. And then I went back.
Here's how much I've been going to the garden center.
I went to bring it and put it in the trunk of my car.
I put it in the trunk of my car.
I realized I already had two bags of mushroom manure.
You are a garden center head.
You're out of control, obviously.
Yeah.
center head you're out of control obviously yeah but just think of how much you know uh what's the word this guy's been dosing mushroom yeah he stays a real mushroom head all of a sudden
did you wake and bake a bowl of mushroom manure uh just think of how much organic matter has been
spread on my plants.
Yeah.
Nice.
Yeah.
That's what they like.
That's what plants crave.
Lucky for me, that's what they like.
You probably get a laugh at me.
All I do is miracle grow one serving in a watering can.
Look, indoor plants are tricky.
Outdoor plants seem to be pretty easy.
Yeah, they are pretty easy.
I can't believe it. I feel so powerful how nicely my plants are tricky. Outdoor plants seem to be pretty easy. Yeah, they are pretty easy. I can't believe I feel like I feel so powerful how nicely my plants are blooming. Like the even the indoor plants that
have been dying all fall. We just brought them outside for a week. They love it. Yeah, of course.
It really goes to show that we're mistreating them, keeping them as indoor pets. Yeah, that's
true. But you know what what it's not going to
stop people that's the way it is yeah status quo we have dominion over these plants it's true i
my calendula just bloomed the other day what is what is that it's like a fluffy yellow fluffster
blossom it's like a double bloom and it was so weak at the beginning it was such a loser was a
nerd and a loser and was just like floppy and i can't believe it has grown up and bloomed
anyways you know what this is just talk for another time because i i could talk dave's
ear off with all my new gardening stuff yeah no it's uh we're over time um my overheard yeah please comes courtesy of it's not really an
overheard to be honest because it's something that's said to me but i thought it was very
endearing give it was uh you know how like at the end of a phone call you kind of have this
this kind of weird thing where you're not sure what the, what the person's sign off is. So I always say, like, I like to say, have a nice day and, and goodbye.
That's, those are my, that's my go-to routine.
And I say, God bless.
God bless.
I love you, daddy.
Sometimes I throw it in the mix.

Yeah, I've been going for 40 seconds.
I've done five pees at 40 seconds a piece.
Yeah, I just love that somebody would be giving an answer that's totally plausible and be like, no.
The other day I had to go to the mall and I had to pee so bad.
And I was like, I'll time myself while I pee.
Because I was like, this is going to be an all-timer.
It wasn't so impressive.
I don't want to talk about it.
Oh, no.
Your all-timer was still short?
Yeah.
Still, yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
You know what?
That could indicate an overactive bladder, you know.
No, I definitely, I do a lot of peeing before noon.
Yeah, Dave pees more before noon than most people pee all week.
Wow. Well, don't go to the mall before noon then.
Yeah, otherwise you'll turn into a gremlin.
This last one comes from Allie in Kent, England I'm assuming

Hey,

Catherine and Victoria with an overheard.
I just walked past two women out for a walk,
having a chat.
And the one woman said to the other,
honestly,
they're going to have to euthanize me before that flight.
Anyways, hope not for her sake.
Off they go.
Just put me in, just fly me in chunks.
Yeah, yeah.
Put in an epidural and then I could fly.
Yeah.
Why not? Yeah. Euthanize me. That's fine. Yeah. They should offer fly. Yeah. Why not?
Yeah.
Euthanize me.
That's fine.
Yeah.
They should offer that.
Yeah.
Would you like to upgrade?
Would you like to downgrade to euthanize?
Would you like to pay the perishing fee and be perished for the fight?
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Will I come back?
Well, they do it like flatliners.
We'll try at the other end.
But this is a really long flight.
And when you land, you're not going to be the same.
Yeah.
That's right.
You're going to bring back something with you.
The most we've had is like four minutes to come back.
This flight is six hours.
All right.
Here's your next phone call.
Hey, Dave.
Hey, Graham.
Hey, guest.
I have an overheard from the gym. I was at the gym yesterday doing my floor exercises,
and there was this guy standing next to me doing a phone call on his AirPods,
and he was doing some squats, and he was, uh, doing some squats
and,
uh,
he was talking pretty loud
so I listened in
and he said,
um,
ooh,
I can't wait for you
to squat on my dick
like I'm squatting right now.
I'm just kidding.
No,
I'm not.
And then
continued squatting
and I
left the area.
This is you.
I'm you in this situation. I'm squatting. I'm squatting and i left the area this is you i'm you in this situation i'm squatting i'm squatting
oh my god that's uh that's an all-time great i think um well it's flirting is not so much a
delicate act as it used to be i feel feel like... Yeah. I love that this guy looks at
himself squatting.
Yeah. And he's like,
oh, yeah. That's
you. Yeah, that's you.
Like you said, me is you.
I'm you.
In the old days, people would have to
go to the payphone at the gym.
I just squatted.
And I couldn't help but think
all right here's your final phone call hey dave graham possible guest this is cormac
um calling from salt lake city um with a overheard with of the kids say the diner just variety. I'm at an aviary, which is like a
zoo for birds.
And I was at
the cage for an
Andean condor.
And there was a bunch of
little kids next to me, like a little
camp group. And
I guess they're getting ready to leave. So the
counselor said, all right, guys, say goodbye
to the Andean condor. And this one kid next to counselor said, um, all right guys, say goodbye to the Andy and Condor.
And there's one kid next to me said,
bye Andy,
the most famous world.
