egg no i was poor and i didn't think of the egg thing. An egg is probably the same price. Yeah, it's true. I don't know. When I was young, I didn't think about eggs either because I only knew how to prepare them one way. Yeah, nog. Exactly. I knew how to make my own nog. I saved money by making my own nog

because I was in my 20s. And you know what? I put it towards a mortgage and look at me now. Yeah, I poured nog on my avocado toast and so now i'm destitute should we uh get to know us yes get to know us taz how are you doing my well. Yeah. You know, it's a funny time of the year. What is that funny time? This pandemic surge?

Everything snowed in and there's a pandemic. Oh, yeah. I've fully stayed inside. I don't know how many days in a row, but it's going forever. Wouldn't it be great if there was, instead of like a prolonged years-long pandemic if we just got a month-long pandemic every january yeah that would be all right oh like the purge but a month i guess a month of the purge everybody on the planet would be dead wait except for the smart ones and the rich ones that's right did the purge happen worldwide or it was just an american phenomena i can't remember i think canon

it is american right i didn't watch the tv but maybe there's so many sequels too they probably did a worldwide page australia it's the page it's the page the page and path uh have you ever seen that movie, Taz? Oh, yes. Yeah, I've seen a bunch of them. I've only seen the first one. Are the other ones decent to watch? No, it's just like once you start, you have to keep watching them.

Yeah, that's true. Do you feel that way about everything? Yeah, I'm a bit of a completionist. Are you? So once once i start unless it's really bad and i just lose interest but i'm a creationist no you're a creationist yeah yeah yeah i want to know what uh like i saw the like first few uh fast the furious is and then i want to know how dinosaurs came to came to be yeah same time. They both started at the same time. And any bones you find are a conspiracy.

Vin Diesel's or otherwise. How many of the Fast and the Furious have you seen? I haven't completed the set. All right. There you go. Is there anything that's really nagging you that you know you have to complete but it feels like homework uh the the nightmare on elm street series they they kind of drop off dramatically in quality after i like the second one and then

the third and fourth and fifth kind of yeah the second one is the one was the the very like homoerotic undertones you were secretly put in and then the guy finally admitted like years later yeah that's exactly what he was doing it's it's great it's a you know it's an early entry into the queer cinema verse and along with the baba duke the baba dukeook also. Very big. How many Nightmare on Elm Street are there? Ten? Yeah, I was going to say there's at least like five or six, but there's probably more. Are there more Friday the 13th? There's about 11.

I watched all of those last year. The Friday the 13th? And it was really hard to find some of them. Like Jason in Space was hard to find. But I found it. I've seen Jason in Space. It's pretty excellent. I remember seeing, boy, it was the early 2000s and I went to a movie and they showed a preview for Jason in Space.

Where the song in the preview was, let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the floor. in the preview was let the bodies hit the floor let the bodies hit the which is like a completely antithetical to zero gravity where the bodies just will you know they'll go wherever they might hit the ceiling at this rate let the bodies float about yeah the uh the person in front of me in the movie theater when the trailer ended just turned to their friend and said that looks good let's go see that we haven't seen any of the other ones let's start at 10

at one point in the Jason in space he finds a machete but it's like a futuristic machete that's all I kind of remember it's like shiny I don't remember well I remember in the video store when it came out it's the video hit the store it said jason tan and then underneath it just said he's

in space that was the jason space all right all right we admit it fine fine um did you so you saw the friday the 13th i did i've watched all the american pie films is that does that count even though like director videos yeah yeah oh there's a new one i haven't seen though that i saw on netflix so i'm one short it's like their grandkids yeah or like there was one where it's just band camp or there's one that's like stifler's brother is the guy the naked mile the naked mile exactly or is that a van wilder no i think you're right i think it's american pie naked mile are they still horny yeah they're still okay absolutely in van wilder they do they do a naked mile this is before the rise of taj oh yes the rise of taj

absolutely uh that's canon they're all in the same universe people don't realize that there's one character that connects all of the horny movies i forgot about that is it taj is taj taj is in all those movies um that's national wampoons too so that's right yeah that's connected yeah connected in many ways. The, um, uh, there's, are there a new generation of horny movies or we, as a culture,

have we moved past? I think there are, but they're just like, uh, like more, uh, kind like, like,

really cookie cutter yes yeah yeah like you know uh a law firm or a bank will buy we've uh commissioned one of these bears and it's going to be in our bank colors and we're giving back to the community in some way through this yeah i don't see you don't see them around very much anymore i know there's one at like a corner like a kiddie corner to a safe way there's one if you're trying if you're coming to vancouver and you want to see this bear this is one of the destinations you want to check out uh it's in front of a community center i want to say uh possibly a library do you know the one i'm talking about taz i'm sure there's a digital map so you can see them all i know where a lot of them are the roadie bear is near whole foods down uh down in canby there oh where's that roadie it's like

just in front of a weird business building on a side street. Just a weird side street, no less. Yeah. So it's like, oh, here's a roadie bear. And there's an all silver bear above the I-place. Oh, yeah. Main street. Mount Pleasant Optical. And there's a bunch on Oak and like 24th.

Yeah, that's like Children's Hospital or Children's Make-A-Wish related. And they bought all the other ones, like Batman and Spider-Man or something. Yes, yes. There was one that had past guest Brent Butt. It was all decked out like Brent Butt wearing a bear costume.

So they like... Yeah, yeah. They like chiseled his face into it and he had like a hoodie on that looked like a bear that was in the ctv lobby which is now right a victoria secret so did they keep the brent butt there and uh yeah they had to repaint it wearing a pink frilly number wearing a teddy is that the victoria's secret that used to be the library yeah and in between it was the virgin mega store oh right yeah yeah yeah uh apparently ctv is still there it's up above uh but you have to get through the horniest part of downtown to get to them so

victoria's secret yeah it's the horniest part of downtown? Hmm. No, there's like a row of sex shops on Granville. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, there's some of that. Man, still standing. I love it. Yeah. How are they doing? The horny sex shops?

Yeah. Are they okay? I think they're steady. I think no matter what event, I bet you during like the depression, like porn films were still getting made, you know, with Buster. Getting made during the depression like porn films were still getting made you know with getting made during the depression well there's couples on a train coming right for the camera they're fucking right at me you think nothing will stop porn nothing will will stop porn. Porn will find a way. No, of course. What about solar flare?

Like a big magnetic pulse that takes out all the digital media? Yeah, or maybe it kills boners, huh? Oh, yeah. It'd have to be pretty strong. But there would be somebody still graffitiing stuff on the side of rocks and things like that regardless of what their body is doing they'd still like they would still see it still yeah

it's it's it's just a part of who we are as a people you know and wherever porn goes technology follows do you think boy never mind I have no follow-up questions. Did you have a follow-up question? No, I have like 10, but they're all gross.

Yeah, there's a... Wasn't... Oh, the arcade. That's what just closed on Granville. The arcade that was there forever and ever. That was still there? That was like... Yeah uh you had to be 19 to go in yeah because there was i think in the back there was some of those uh like put a quarter in and watch like 10 minutes yeah like kind of deal 10 minutes this guy's got his head his eyes glued to this disgusting thing for 10 minutes for a quarter yeah but you see some guy walking in with a whole stack of quarters a whole roll

and then you don't see him for the rest of the night yeah well it's an arcade of course he's got a roll of quarters but uh well i i thought maybe it was like they served alcohol oh no but a lot of people bought drugs in there from what what I gather. It was a very easy place to go buy drugs. It was right next to the Ross. It was our Times Square. Yes, that's right. And it just closed, like, just closed a couple months ago. And so, you know,

I played the Aerosmith video game there. What? Yeah. You're the band Aerosmith, and you go through zapping people with a guitar and a microphone stand and whatnot. Is it horny? It is pretty horny, actually.

Aerosmith is horny as hell. Yeah. I watched the Aerosmith peep show there. Surprisingly not horny. Yeah. It's very wholesome. They're having a picnic. Yeah.

It was gross. No matter what they do, it's gross, even if it's not horny. very wholesome having a picnic yeah it was gross no matter what they do it's gross even if it's not horny that's true like i don't know it's just crazy that we live on the same planet as steven tyler you know like it's it's a privilege i feel part of the planet do you think he lives on uh the uh he's not in our hemisphere yeah oh you think he's in florida yeah that's probably a good bet he's living on the edge nice nice real good so taz what have you been up to tell us to spin us a yarn tell us a tale oh just uh living away from society, on the edge a little bit. No, not too much.

I started investing this year. Here we go. I had money in the bank that has just been sitting there, and it's not a lot of money. But I was like, oh, I should do something with this. Yeah. So I put it into a TFSA. Nice.

Nice. Nice. And tell the listeners what the hell that is. Because I totally know what it is. But if you could tell the listeners, that would help me out a lot. It's a tax-free savings account. And so what does that do? I don't know, really.

I put it in there and it it it invests into like indexes or something oh and then uh you uh it doesn't get taxed until you take it out and then it gets taxed no it's just like that yeah deferred tax paying mechanism i'm so tired of these billionaires like avoiding taxes by any means necessary yeah uh are you talking about me yeah that's what i did i put my thousands of dollars in there the uh yeah the only like the investing i'm very curious about as i've said uh the past episodes is crypto crypto my crypto i'm the one nfts these i want to see some non-fungibles nfts have now become like also like task master kind of stuff as well is that right like what it's like you pay somebody to come do a task rabbit task rabbit yeah that one what you can pay them in crypto

i think i don't know this is all very third party but uh but someone was saying that the uh you know the guy from uh al from from tool time richard karn yeah thank you did not know where this was going. He was recently put out, like it's become a meme where he's like, I won't be investing in NFTs. And people have been passing that around. It's very funny. But apparently he was thinking about it

and NFTs are now becoming more for celebrities, more of a thing where you can go like golfing or go fishing with... I don't really understand. And go fishing with al and it's an i don't know where the digital gif comes into it uh i don't know from what i understand it's like a trading card but it doesn't exist it's like somewhere on the internet. But you own. That's what I thought it was too. But yeah, that's what it is.

Like you own this clip and nobody else has that clip except. Oh no, other people may have it, but you're the only owner of it. So the NBA does that. Now you can buy their experience. They'll come to your house and set up your hi-fi system. I would love for Al Borland to come to my house i don't think so tim that's what i want an nft of al borland saying i don't think so tim doesn't matter the episode doing like a snap snap snap and a z formation yeah and hi-fi systems are

still a thing right yeah yeah it's the only fidelity i like i remember we had like speaker cable speaker wires going running all over the house and like hidden behind uh books on bookcases and like going between floors just to get the hi-fi set up yeah cool that's right yeah i remember that too now you just got a recessed little speaker in your ceiling yeah and then like you didn't you have to put i was recently in your house dave i saw it oh yeah yeah yeah we've got some wirelesses nice that came to my house when i was away i saw everything mostly i sat there my partner was looking after

is he loosened up now or is he still as he attends not to me no to to the to taz's partner who was taking care of him yeah apparently it took a while for him to go cuddle with her yeah it took only a day and then he was like you are in charge of me now yeah my family's dead yeah Yeah. Time to move on. They don't know. So you've invested. That's great. You've invested in TFSAs, NFTs.

And I found some old RRSPs back when I had a real job. Nice. Track down and talk to a weird banking system. I love it. Yeah. And they are just fluctuating. I don't know if you guys know the market is crazy right now yeah it's like up 300 and then down 200 it's like what two steps forward two steps back yeah also you're not supposed to look at them every single day well that's the fun of having them that's why you

have them and you can look at them when you're in line somewhere or at a red light. Yeah, it's just something fun. It's like a 20-year investment. Yeah. But, you know, what if it goes high before 20 years?

That's what I understand. You're supposed to sell it high. Like you get wicked baked and then you sell it. Yeah, you should buy stocks when you're like depressed. Right. And sell them when you're

so like absolutely buttered on toast or whatever they say. Buttered on toast. Oh, you guys, I'm getting totally buttered on toast today. Oh yeah, melt me over some asparagus i am on drugs um yeah you guys do drugs yeah i love them yeah cool let me give you a list

He was just like, so, what do you make an hour here? He would just ask me very adult questions and he was like, maybe 10 at the time. Yeah, he was like, I'll double it. Yeah.

And now he owns Kitten Ace, I guess? I don't know if that's still a thing. But West Beach was a very, like, does that exist anymore? I don't think so. But you had to have the hoodie in my school. Yeah, it was a hoodie brand that also made surfboards and snowboards. And was from Kitsilano, where no surfing happens.

snowboard and was was from kits alano where yeah nothing happens i have a i still have like i went out today in my west beach snowboard coat from 20 years ago whoa nice there you go yeah very cool made to last they were expensive i didn't go snowboarding the hoodies were like 60 when i was a kid i remember it was like i couldn't afford one. I remember the guy in my class that had one. He was the only guy. Didn't make it over to Alberta, but he was held up as pretty special for having one. I got this coat about 20 years ago and

I had a lot of money back then. I should have put it in an RSP but instead I put it in a COAT coat. There you go. But you still have have it so that's still an investment technically yeah and it's fluctuating right now because of the snow so

what's the oldest object of clothing that you still wear like I'm trying to picture my own what would be the oldest I think I have an old like buffalo check shirt. I feel like that's my eldest garment that I can squeeze into. Like, from my 20s.

I've had it a good amount of time. Doesn't really fit anymore, but I still have it. Dave, yours is the West Beach thing, I assume. I guess it is, because I haven't gone snowboarding in 15 years. But I can like, it's a good coat for days like this where it snowed, but it's also dripping out of the trees. Oh, man. This is like getting hit in the head with a giant pound of snow weather. Yeah, it's one of know about that kind of weather.

A giant pound of snow. Hey, Greg, what weighs more, a giant pound of snow or a giant pound of feathers? Dave, a giant pound of snow is way heavier. Doy. He's from Calgary. Yeah. He knows. I still have a public enemy t-shirt oh shit

For like, because everybody loves t-shirts now. Cool, it's a size small, let me know. Sure. Hit me up on Instagram if you want that t-shirt. That song by Macklemore, Thrift Shop, was on the radio the other day, and he mentions that $50 for a t-shirt is too much.

I'm sure they won Grammys. They did. Famously, they beat Kendrick Lamar. And everyone was like, no, this is wrong. And then they did a song about buying a scooter. Buying a scooter? The downtown

song? Maybe in brackets? The downtown song? And they did a song about how being gay is okay. So now they finally are okay with it because they said it was yeah exactly macklemore was the last vote yeah macklemore on the supreme court turned he wrote the decision on that one yeah yeah yeah and uh ryan lewis voted against it oh man he should do a song about abortion thank yes we need to hear about macklemore yeah when i was seven i thought abortion was bad but then my uncle was like

i had an abortion and i was like oh hey maybe this thing a little different and then the whole thing turns around and texas is free to do what they want huh yeah where is macklemore i wonder yeah and somewhere in washington yeah exactly Texas is free to do what they want. Huh? Yeah. Where is Matt Moore? I wonder. Yeah. Somewhere in Washington. Yeah, exactly. Lobbying.

Mr. Moore goes to Washington. I love it. Maybe he's still doing, maybe he's still touring around. No, he's from Seattle. I meant Washington state.

Oh, sure. I thought you meant Washington, uh, trying to make bills and whatnot. Laws. Yes. I hope so.

Yeah. Is Davey looking him up? See where he's at? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Kind of a where's Waldo, but. He went to Evergreen State College in Olympia. Oh, hey, that's all right.

Olympia, not far from Tacoma. Home of the Tacoma Dome. Olympia's the capital of Washington, isn't it? That's true. Yeah, yeah. Where you can find Slater Kinney Road. Ah, minutiae. Thank you. Here we go. I like on Wikipedia how when you click on a famous person you can see their signature. What? Yeah, like if you look up any president they've got like a png file of their signature

oh man anyway that's an nft yeah that's true that's the new collecting signatures macklemore is uh his signature is all blocked letters cool that's cool did you ever get someone's signature oh yeah yeah when i was a kid I totally thought that was the best. They're not nobody famous though. I got a busker to sign something for me. I think I still have it. It probably made his day.

Sometimes kids ask me to sign their binder when I do school shows. It's very funny. You don't really... Well you're here anyways. You brought your very funny like you don't really okay well you're here anyways and you brought your own pen so i don't want to i don't need to be embarrassed because you do you still uh not in the past while but do you still do the traveling around from schools and performing

for the youngins uh yeah yeah yeah i did i did one recently and it was very surreal because they were all wearing masks and we were all wearing masks. It was just totally normal. Yeah. So it was surreal for me, but for the kids, they were just like, yeah, go do the show. Yeah. We haven't seen a face in so long. It's fine.

They must go nuts for it. We never had anything like that when I was in school like an improv or comedy show for the students yeah when you do an improv show for the schools is it does it have to have a message or anything kind of like loosely it's supposed to but we don't really you can tell they don't like that uh the kids aren't into that they just want to have fun and and yell weird memes at us that we don't understand so yeah what are the hot memes uh i don't know and haven't done it in like two years but uh yeah it's richard karn uh big chungus was big i think i've talked about this before oh yeah we totally discussed chungus

for sure yeah chungus rules the chungus among us big chungus big chungus fat bugs bunny yeah baby yeah man oh man now that's an nft see this is how it works stop saying things you're an nft you can't just say that and make it an nft you don't know what that means you're not like do you don't have a computer chugging in the background creating an NFT and burning fossil fuels or whatever. Yeah, that's true. Aren't they bad for the environment, NFTs? I say it was crypto that's bad. Yeah, crypto is bad.

I think they both are. Jeez Louise. Everything's bad. I think it's fine, though, that the last kind of gasp of the planet is making up coins. Yeah, that's true. That's actually... I support that. I think making up coins. That's actually I support that. I think it's cool.

It's cool. Dave, what's going on with you, man? Well, I also got my license. I know Kelly talked about that. Yeah, let's talk about that. I got my full license. Did you have your learners for 10 years like i had my hand last week 15 years 16 maybe what now i'm younger than you and when i was a teenager

uh it was much easier to get your driver's license yeah you just you got your learner's permit for like 30 days and then you could just after or maybe it was six months or something anyway but after that point you just got your full license yeah i didn't get my actual and until i was like 23 yeah it was so the way it the a few years later they changed it to you get your learners and then you have to drive around with an l on the back of your car right right and then take another test and get an n oh you get an n that's right new driver is the l a written test i think so yeah and you can only like you have to always have someone who's like super in charge in the car with you yeah and then the n you have is that a road test or a written that's a road test but

it's not like you don't go on the highway and i don't think you have to parallel park oh man and then there's restrictions you can't have anyone uh under 25 or there always has to be someone over 25 in the car what if there was a guy guy on craigslist is that a hustle side hustle to have a an ad on craigslist like i'll sit in your car with you while you drive around with your n be pretty good and then so you had that for 15 years and then you yeah just took a test to get rid of that, and now you have unlimited driving. Now I can drive the exact same way I was before, but now I can rent a car. Ah, nice. Not that I can afford to rent a car right now, because they're so expensive.

Are they really? Yeah. And also, oh yeah, you have to bring your own car. Right? What car did you bring? Yes, you bring a car to a driver's test, Graham. We did this last week. But what kind of car do you have? Because if you a car to a driver's test graham we did this last week but what kind of car do you have because you couldn't rent a car whose car uh i used an evo

oh shit okay there you go evo uh saves the day once again and when he asked me to turn on the brights the high beams i was like i don't know how i've never had to use it in an Evo. Yeah. Yeah. Driving around in the fog. Yeah. But now. He was nice. He's like lower. Yeah. Almost there.

And I was like, click. Yep. Okay. Well, that's a lot like renting a car is you never know where. Yeah. Every car has like different little like, oh, I did the windshield wipers by accident that is always the case though if you're searching for anything in a car windshield

wipers are going to go off and the trunk's going to open yeah that's right yeah and also like finding a like the gas door a little gas door yeah a little gas lever and then you go to fill up the tank and you're like, oh, the gas is on the opposite side.

Gotta follow that arrow, rookie. Yeah, there's an arrow on your dashboard. But then you, you know, you move the car around and then, oh, I did it wrong again. And then you look down and you're wearing a tweed coat and you're Mr. Bean. You're Mr. Bean. Holy shit. That's how you find out yeah your doctor comes in and tells you have you ever been on a diving board for 45 minutes you've been diagnosed with bean have you been locked out of your hotel room naked and there's a you try to get downstairs

and there's an old lady going so slow. Yeah. You might be a bean, but there's hope. There's lots of new treatments. So Dave, what's going on with you? Okay. For real. What's going on with me?

I caught up on a couple of movies. Nice. I watched the latest Paul Thomas Anderson movie. As long as you don't count the ones that came out after 2017. But on New Year's Eve, I was like, okay, it's eight o'clock. I could really dig into Phantom Th thread right now yes did you yeah have you ever seen it yeah i liked it no i thought it was weird i liked it no likey or nocini tessie i have not seen it okay well it's uh go ahead and ruin it no i i couldn't possibly it's a real uh one of these movies

where you're like you know how you you have your phone all the time now yeah and if a movie's boring for 30 seconds you look at your phone and miss 10 minutes of it uh this is a movie where it's all boring but you're like i guess that's the point but it looks really good so i should look at it yeah it is it's very good looking movie and it was uh daniel day lewis's last film he's retired now i didn't know that yeah he's gonna be just he's cobbling now he's only gonna do tv now yeah he's gonna be on general hospital gonna act the whole fucking back of the show I just wanna act every day every

every time he goes to set they have to put like everyone has to pretend they're really in a hospital oh method actors keep it up sir you've been diagnosed with bean oh no oh bean oh no

oh no I'm going to tell my wife Mr. Bean does go to the dentist at one point and uh he jabs the dentist with Novocaine in the leg it's cause he's eating all those

really loud hard candies yes yeah yeah he loves a hard candy loves cheating on a test he's religious there's a whole thing where he's in a church yeah i think that's uh boy is that in episode one in the pilot probably i i wonder if they i was thinking about mr bean this morning because i i'm wearing contact lenses and i was like i wonder if mr b never thought but there was a decision around should i wear glasses that would be great if that was like if you were applying for a job as a writer and your spec strip script was just Mr. Bean. And then he goes, and then he does.

Well, sometimes he'll say, or Danny LaRue will say, that's my frock. So we watched that by we i mean myself yeah and a couple nights later i was like ah this is movies are too long oh yeah no kidding and i was like oh i've heard this movie's very long uh but i'm gonna try it anyway The new James Bond Ah yes How long

It's 2 hours and 43 minutes Jesus Christ I watched it and fell asleep periodically I Don't I don't know why I felt I needed to watch it Yeah Like I

I watch every new James Bond movie when it comes out and I'm not sure I like any of them. But you drive his official car and you have the official watch. Yeah and I wear, I drink the official vodka of him. And the Omega watch.

I wear all my Omegas and I drink Belvedere and i drive an aston martin and i love the uh shoes by reebok james bond reebok wearing a beautiful tuxedo with reebok pump sneakers just no not even just like the mall walkers. You're a James Bond completionist. Well, he does the Reebok. They have that little, what do you call it? The British flag, the Union Jack on them. They do?

Yeah, they're British. They did. Maybe he should wear British knights. Yeah, that makes sense. Or Kangals that has that little pocket in it so you can keep a kangaroo kangals are the hats oh he should wear a kangal he should definitely wear a kangal hat he's retired he can do what he wants now well that's true he can finally bust out his kangal hat the new james bond they should get uh joe pantoliano to be the new James Bond in a Kangol hat. Pantoliani?

Joey Pants. Do you find the last, the Daniel Craig ones are not fun? I find them not fun. Yeah, they're very moody and broody. Yeah. And bad attitude-y. Yeah, right. and broody yeah and bad attitudey and they're right but i think i my problem with the james bond movies is that they're so fun uh like the first scene is always so much fun and then there's

like a super cool the credits opening billy eilish there's billy eilish uh and there's a song about the title of the movie there's no time to die some other guy has time to die but not this guy he's james bond he's a total spy yeah i've only seen though the first one was casino royale with him oh it's so good it was fun but then it got like i don't know the second one was so moody that i was like like try don't try to out moody batman the second one's where he gets hit in the in the balls a bunch i think that's right maybe he gets hit in the balls in all of them i know a coyote bites his balls in one of them just every chase how does he get in the nuts in this one and he looks down he's wearing a tweed sport coat oh no

bean mr bean johnny english yeah i bet that's good oh yeah I bet it's good yeah but yeah I think my problem is that the first the first like 10 minutes of every James Bond movie is so good and then the rest of the movie is like just like I just like the chases I don't care

you just want the parkour yeah I don't care when you find YouTube videos I should just watch District 13 yeah You just want the parkour. Yeah, I don't care when you find... You should watch parkour on YouTube videos. I should just watch District 13. Yeah. I don't care that it's like when he finds out, oh, this person double-crossed me.

Who cares? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not a real person anyway. Why do you trust them? They're a movie character. Yeah. And like, I don't follow the... There's no through line right except that it's unfortunately there is it's too complicated i don't understand weren't the old ones they were kind of standalone yeah that's what i want i want it to be like a law and order episode where we don't have to deal

with what happened last week yeah it used to be capers and now it's like psychological thrillers yeah and it's like uh in this one he's got to go visit the grave of eva green's character from casino royale because he's like he's like sad James Bond yeah but he's got to go visit her grave because his girlfriend is like hey uh I want us to be together so he goes say goodbye to a grave yeah but then he hits his balls

in the gravestone he's like gone the gravestone doinks him there's not enough room in our relationship for your dead love. So tell her she's out. Yeah. Well, can I do it in person?

I guess. Yeah. So was the new one was, was it justified to be almost three hours long? You know what? It was, I think I liked it the best of any of them since Casino Royale. Really? I fell asleep.

But did you have a good sleep? Yeah. I was watching it in bed also. Did you have a I had 48 hours to watch it. I rented it and it said you have 48 hours to watch this and i was like they should give you 48 hours plus two hours and 43 minutes yeah yeah absolutely like it's not

fair that that to see the you know an 85 minute mr bean movie i have it for the same amount of time as this eight hour james bond movie you're a better person than me i just uh streamed it illegally oh sure yeah you still have it probably well it's streaming everyone everyone has it dave yeah i guess so i don't if you go to the website yeah you do if you go to the website no dave had it and then they took it away from it's like an nft everyone has it but no one does so yes who does it belong to exactly yeah exactly richard karn the richest man in the world karn richard karn what if we found out that richard karn was actually a billionaire and he was just slumming it i want to see someone do

one of those james bond intros with like uh al borland singing well no he's like doing all the like walking through and he like turns and shoots but it's a drill in his hand and then it's an ad for haynes yeah i don't think so mr bond oh maybe he could be the bad guy the dead when don't wear plaid or whatever something something with plaid plaid eye plaid finger plaid finger i don't think so tim wait. Wait, that's Moon River. Anyway, check out Cinema. It's what's going down. Damn right.

Yeah, Cinema's it. Did you see anything else? Or was that the full list of... That's the full list. Two movies. More movies than I've seen in months. With having two children, there's no movie time, is there? Abby and I switch off who does bedtime. Okay.

So every other night I should have movie time, but then sometimes I'll just watch hockey. Aren't your kids constantly chanting, licorice pizza, licorice pizza? And I'm like, no, I'm two Paulomas anderson's behind i have to watch they're all canon one leads up to the other but they're like well we've already seen inherent vice uh yeah i like that movie the inherent vice that's pretty. That was pretty good. Oh, yeah. Did you like Licorice Pizza? I didn't see it. Who are you looking at? I'm looking at you, Dave. I didn't see Licorice Pizza.

Oh, you saw Paul Thomas Anderson. That's what I thought you said, Wes Anderson. No. What did you say? Paul Thomas Anderson? Maybe. Fun fact, Wes Anderson is his dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's interesting. It seems like there's a lot of Andersons in the world, but there just three yeah all thomas wes and mister from the matrix yes yes which also just came out have you did you see that have you streamed that no have you seen the how many matrices have you seen i guess all of them except that one but i feel like i'd have to watch them again to understand any sort of through line boy i think i'd have to watch the first one again to understand the first one yeah yeah i don't even get the memes about the pills i forget which is and they both look like dristan capsules yeah it's like oh boy okay one of these won't make me drowsy one of these is gonna knock my

ass out is that what the whole thing's about it's like oh if you accept take this pill and it will make you drowsy and you'll go back to neverland yeah you'll go back to the goo i remember they're suspended in goo oh yes yeah and the other one you can you can operate heavy machinery which is the spaceship the ever can ever Ebenezer Scrooge the ever can ever with Tank

and Tristan what are the names of the guys who run Tristan Tristan and Tank I only saw I saw the second one I saw the first and the second one both in the theater of the guys who run. Dristan, please. Dristan and Ting. I saw the second one. I saw the first and the second one, both in the theater. And then I peaced out because I

didn't care. Which one has the blonde dread twins? The second one. Yeah. And you know what? The stuff on the highway fight is pretty good i don't i only think i saw the first one and then i was like this is good movie i don't want to see any more of it but it was so wise thank you finally not a completionist no actually quite

the opposite i'll watch one thing no one to walk away yeah sometimes I'll watch one thing. You know when to walk away? Yeah, sometimes I'll watch one episode of a series and be like, that was good for me. What a good taste. Anyway, so no, I did not see Licorice Pizza. I saw the Phantom Thread. Oh, you saw Phantom Thread. That's right. Right, right, right.

Right, right, right. Although maybe I need to go back and see the Master to really understand Phantom Thread. What the hell's going on? What's up with you? It's funny that you would bring up James Bond because the last week I was supposed to go visit my family in Calgary, Alberta, but decided to not go because of this. I don't know if you guys have heard about this Omicron, but it's blown up. Omicron. Omicron.

So you're doing Omicron? My name is Dennis, but it's Omicron. So, yeah, there was, I didn't go, and I was sad to not go. But one of the things I did with my family is we, sometimes we watch a movie all together and just text back and forth through whatsapp making fun of the movie and this we've done with dirty dancing we did it with uh i can't remember what the other one we did with but this time we did it with the world is not enough oh james bond bond and earlier Oh, James Bond! James Bond! An earlier Pierce Brosnan Bond. Is that the one? Is Halle Berry in that? No, that's the one before.

Is Madonna in it? No. Boy. Robert Carlyle is the bad guy. Is this like the second or third Pierce Brosnan? I'm not sure where it falls in the lineup. Is there skiing? Yeah.

Yeah, there's a skiing. Yes, there's absolutely skiing. Yeah. Is the theme song by, okay, I'm going to guess. Okay. Chris Cornell? No. Nelly.

Nelly. No. Yeah, is it Nelly? So it's a 90s one so uh boy uh counting crows counting crows that's it round here they just that was the they had to change the title to round here round here james bond edition mud honey james bond came from nashville with a suitcase in his hand. He said, I'd like to meet a boy who looks like James Bond. And he walks around the, you know. Wait, did James Bond in this story walk into a place and ask for James Bond?

Uh-huh. Okay. Like he's walking on a wire in the British intelligence. He parks his Aston Martin Outside my house And takes his tuxedo off Said he's close to understanding James Bond

There you go, well done Well he knows he's more than just a little You gotta let me get there Misunderstood, it's gonna get loud He has trouble acting normal When he's nervous There we go Well done, well done Was it garbage? He has trouble acting normal when he's nervous. There I go.

Well done. Well done. Was it garbage? Yes, it was garbage. Yeah, it was garbage. And Robert Carlyle from the full Monty and a train spotting is the,

he's the bad guy. Yeah. And somehow he's got, he had a bullet go into his head and it's like traveling through his brain and it's making him immune to pain so they're like eventually the bullet will kill him but in the meantime he's like it's traveling slowly

yeah like eventually it'll kill him yeah it was weird they showed like a 3D you know how in movies they'll have like a yeah kind of like Crank yeah it was like a prototype of Crank enough said I'm not a completionist either leave it at that how movies still have like a yeah kind of like crank yeah cool it was like a prototype of crank enough said i'm not a completionist either leave it at that um yeah i've seen crank high voltage the sequel it's rough that that crank series whoo it didn't it didn't age well the cranks

christmas with the cranks is also in that list the trilogy the uh so yeah james bond at one point he skis and john cleese is like the guy who's going to inherit q's oh this is where they did the crossover yeah so then q says something he says something to james bond and then he disappears into the floor, like some elevator takes him down, and then I guess he's dead. I guess he's out of the picture. We never see Desmond Llewellyn again? No, we see John Cleese at the end. Like, he's dead. By the way, he's dead.

Yeah, the elevator malfunctioned, I guess. And then John Cleese is is like i will never play at colleges again they're too sensitive the end um there's a scene the skiing scene is great because there was a you know he's always got a new gadget or whatever so one of the gadgets was this thing that just inflates around you a giant ball you know like that where people run in the field and bounce into each other with uh zoo yeah yeah it was yeah a zoo zoo ball a you a you zoo ball yeah sure yes a boba tea but he obviously he goes skiing and as soon as he goes skiing you know that it's a foregone conclusion that he's going to end up in an avalanche of some sort it was like i could

not tell what you meant what's the foregone conclusion i thought you were gonna say he's gonna end up fucking a ski bunny i'm going to the chalet so anyways he uses zorbing yeah he uses the zorb to save the day oh yeah i think that's an actual like a uh an avalanche survival technique is to have a zororb? Aren't there inflatable backpacks that people have for... I don't know. Maybe this is one of those things where James Bond predicts. That's what the St. Bernard brings, is a Zorb. Brings you a big Zorb.

Put the Zorb on. Yeah, so I watched The World is Not Enough with the family, and then also who's the who's the uh the bond woman in that uh bond girl is that what we say yeah bond girl i don't know her from anything else was it sophie marceau yeah i think it was sophie marceau that makes sense what else has she done uh french movies yeah um yeah and is in the new bond movies who's the boss the boss is ray fines oh he's the he's the um what is it m is M the boss M but there's I was

like as it was as I was watching and I was like is there crossover like when they get a new bond do they get a new Q and that Q was there the whole time the first Q was there for hundreds of the movies yes yeah and then like the first couple Daniel Craig

movies didn't have a Q no he would just go to the sharper image and get gadgets you would order them get the hammock or slammer catalog yeah and he would have like a airplane that was a lighter and that kind of shit but also like a cool mailbox, just like some quaint home folksy stuff. And then like Judy Dench was M. Yes. And I wasn't sure if she continued on. She was in Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan ones. Yeah, that's what I thought.

So she connects it. It's all part of the same universe. I don't know this world. This is Pierce Brosnan was was he was the last before Daniel Craig right or is there something I'm missing I just know people like the GoldenEye game yes yeah the GoldenEye game was fun yeah GoldenEye game

low-stakes neighborhood drama, gardening, the sordid, nasty underbelly of the horse girl lifestyle, hot sauce, addiction to TV, and sweaty takes on celebrity culture. And the weirdest, grossest stuff you can find on Wikipedia.org. We'll read all of it, no matter

how gross. There's something for everyone all of it, no matter how gross. There's something for everyone on our podcast, Baby Geniuses. Hosted by us, two horny adult idiots. Hang out with us as we try and fail to retain any knowledge at all. Every other week on Maximum Fun. You're in a theater. The lights go down. You're about to get swept up by the characters and all their little details and interpersonal dramas.

You look at them and think, that person is so obviously in love with their best friend. Wait, am I in love with my best friend? That character's mom is so overbearing. Why doesn't she just stand up to her? Oh, God, do I need to stand up to my own mother? If you've ever recognized yourself in a movie, then join me, Jordan Cruciola, for the podcast Feeling Seen. We've talked to author Susan Orlean on realizing her own marriage was falling apart after watching adaptation, an adaptation of her own work, and comedian Hari Kontabolu on why Harold and Kumar was a depressingly important movie for Southeast Asians.

I know it's Bernie. Bernie's out and about. Hi, Bernie. Hi, Bernie. We saw a video of a deaf dog that when he barks, he doesn't make any noise because he doesn't know he's supposed to make noise oh yeah he just goes wow adorable that's good i hope to meet bernie someday i'd like to know maybe a dog yeah he's like a hound okay all right okay that makes sense yeah like a blowing on a beer bottle yeah those are

This first one comes from Liam in Newcastle, England. Oh, home of Mr. Bean. Home of Mr. Bean. I was in a Sainsbury's.

That's how you know this is authentic. I was in a Sainsbury's with my fiancé in the run-up to Christmas when I overheard an older gentleman exasperatedly say to his wife, we're going to need a door flap for the squirrel as well as a kill

cage. Wow. Yeah, I don't know what that means. Why would they have a door for the squirrel? Like a dog door so it can come in and then they kill it? At our old house, we had a roof that was infested with squirrels and they made a, the, the, what's it called? The exterminator was like, we just put a, like a flap on the outside where the squirrel can get out but can't get back in.

We're like, we figured out the hole that the squirrel was getting in. Oh, maybe that's what this is. we're like we figured out the hole that the squirrel was getting in oh maybe that's what this is seal it up but why are they selling that at sainsbury's next to like the toffee fay next to the double decker chocolate bars it's not toffee fay i don't know i always thought it was toffee fay i bought some the other day. Did you? You had some Toffifee? How was it? Toffifee? It's definitely a distant third to Ferrero Rocher's and Turtles. Yes.

Yeah. It's a consolation prize getting a Toffifee. Toffifee. No way to know. It's no Toblerone. Yes, no Toblerone. I got Omicron from a Toblerone. I'm a French rapper and I'm here to say.

It's something, something Lumiere. Okay, go ahead. Here we go. This one comes from Julie from Woodbridge, Virginia. I overheard my two sons having this conversation. My nine-year-old asked the classic question, would you rather kill someone and get $5 or save someone and get $5? Classic.

Yeah, the classic conundrum. You give it the same value? Yeah, $5 for killing a person or five for saving the person and my five-year-old immediately answered get five dollars yeah yeah so that was the headline you choose what i do yeah yeah i want to get five dollars so yeah it's up to you you push this button and someone in the world will get saved or killed but you get five dollars push um yeah it's the uh fuck marry kill of the the kids set who would you rather would you kill or save is a better would you would you rather like would you rather kill someone and get a million dollars or save someone's life

and get five dollars well we all know the answer to that question uh i need more than five dollars to retire so would you rather kill someone and get a million dollars and your name in the paper oh that's pretty good that's the person that killed someone yeah but like everyone's cool with it. Or save someone and get one of those decorative bears from around the city. Yes. I would do that one. I don't know where I would put it, but

I'd get rid of my couch and just put it in the main area. You'd put it inside. You wouldn't put it outside. I don't have anywhere to put it outside. You'd put it in your apartment lawn. Nah, that's true. I think't put it outside. I don't have anywhere to put it outside. You put it in your apartment lawn. Nah, that's true. I think people would love it. You know what? I'm going to do it. I'm going to steal one of the ones

from the library, bring it home, put it on my apartment lawn, and leave a trail of evidence so they find me. Bare chunks the whole way. This last one comes from Kat S. from Ann Arbor, Michigan I was at a restaurant getting takeout when I overheard a woman

talking from one of the booths she was looking over the menu and exclaimed the mac and cheese has 8 cheeses I don't think I even know 8 cheeses there's Munster American uh Parmesan then ran out of cheeses to name.

Not even cheddar. Couldn't land the cheddar. You say American, you don't say Swiss? We could just go through country. It's funny they start with Munster, too. That's a scary one. Well, they were watching an episode of The Addams Family. Oh, I see. Do you ever watch The Munsters or Adam's Family, Garon?

The Munsters was the crack of the Adam's Family. Yeah, that's true. The GoBots. That's true. I love the Munsters. Yeah, me too. Eddie Munster, Grandpa. I haven't watched either of them.

My first introduction to the Adam's family was through Raul Julia. Yes. Rest in peace. Yeah, that's right. Angelica Houston. Uh-huh. Young Christina Ricci. Right before he did Street Fighter, his last and final movie, M. Bison, right?

Oh, really? Raul Julia as M. Bison. His swan song. That was his last movie. Huh. Well, if you're going to go out on a movie, make it Street Fighter. Or Mortal Kombat. These are two movies. Or Myrtle Kombat.

waiting in line to pay for our stuff at the department store, and there's this little girl that was at one of the checkouts. She's probably five years old, and she's just spinning around, and she's singing along to the Christmas music that's playing. And then at one point, she just stops, and she kind of looks around, and then she says to her mom, Mommy, everybody's looking at me. And then this woman walks by. She just finished paying for her stuff, Mommy, everybody's looking at me. And then this woman walks by. She just finished paying for her stuff.

And as she's walking by, she leans down to the little girl. And she says, That's because you're so pretty. And so she keeps walking. And then the little girl says to her mom, Mommy, I think this woman wants to take me. Thanks, guys. Well, aren't you pretty? Yeah. Who, me?

Hey, Dave and Graham. Uh, I was debating calling this in because it's an overdreamt, but then this week's episode was very dreams heavy. So I figured I'd share that. Uh, a couple of weeks ago,

I had a dream that I'd become the third host of Stop Podcasting Yourself. And I was so excited and we're having such a good time. And then at the end of my first episode, you revealed to me that one of the rules of being a host of Stop Podcasting Yourself is all the hosts have to sleep in a bed together. And I was out after that so uh sweet dreams i guess you didn't want it bad enough yeah yeah we every year dave and i rent a hotel room in montreal we stay in bed for many days we try to solve the vietnam war and if you want to be with us you got got to do that, and you also have to

I was just shopping at the grocery store, and they were handing out free samples of coffee, which one dad holding his baby thought it would be a good idea to get. He very soon spilled this hot coffee all over his baby, which is admittedly not funny. But to alleviate the burn, his wife quickly reached for their jug of creamer from the basket. So, I thought

that was ironic and went together. Well, off I go. This poor baby getting a... I spilled hot coffee on the baby. Oh, get creamer. We were supposed to pick something up anyways. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That, there was somebody at the train station i don't know what the company

was but they were giving away chocolate bars just before december and you could you could take as many as you wanted they these kids didn't care and they were all from the like aero coffee crisp area of okay snacks anyways that's the last time I saw something cool being given away at the train station. Sure. It's no coffee. It's no baby scalded coffee. Yeah. Well, a lot of it, you get your, you start off with your baby skin, and then you're

you slough it, and then the skin fairy comes and picks it up. That would be cool if snakes had like a skin fairy. Yeah, they do. Yeah. In snake lore. We don't know

what they have. Yeah. That's true. Put it under your rock pillow and they bring you a good night snake.
