Hello. Hello. Also, I did ask you to say Flenner, but we can edit that in. Yeah, that's right.

It's so exciting to be here, and I'm just so excited about the Mr. Bean marathon. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just so excited about the Mr. Bean marathon. Yes. Ever since I was a teenager, I thought, what is it if some substitute teacher slipped Mr. Bean into the TV to kill 45 minutes? I thought, what is this lacking? An audio track, some sort of commentary. And so I think you're doing a real service. Yeah.

So, yeah, we're going through the whole thing. We're counting every word that is spoken so far. I think the, the record is a record low is 16 words. Yeah. In a whole episode. Like, you know, a teacher had given up on you when they popped in something like that for you

to watch, like watch last night's Veronica's closet. I want to know what the like annual holiday Salmonella count of like uncles or even wacky dads recreating the turkey over the turkey. Like what was the, you know, at one point those were the two like COVID and turkey over the head were the number one emergency room drivers in the United Kingdom at Christmas. I think you would, yeah, you would suffocate before you'd get salmonella. You'd bring the baster in there, you'd be okay. Well, this sounds like, I mean, if this isn't maximum fun content, I don't know what is. This experiment.

Yeah, this is some juicy stuff. Literally juicy. I mean, deadly juices it's a little bit dark but a little bit white like mr b uh should we get to know oh sure why not get to know us now charlie you you're you're always, you know, you're always making jokes. You're always writing books. What the listeners want to know is, are you happy? Oh, no!

Any, literally any question but that. Are you in the midst of writing? Are you writing a new book? Are you in the midst of writing? Are you writing a new book? Are you in the midst of writing anything? So right now I'm in the hammock between having. So I just released a new comedy album called I Hope I Don't Remember This My Whole Life. And that's it. So it's a direct quote from Josephine, my daughter, that the line comes up on

the album and hopefully I won't spoil it and it'll still be funny when it comes up on the album but yeah, so that came out from 604 Records towards the end of March and then in June, at the beginning of June, I have a new

book coming out called Noonday Dark and so it's a sequel to at the beginning of June, I have a new book coming out called Noonday Dark. And so it's a sequel to the murder mystery that I did called Primary Obsessions. And so those are the two big things happening kind of in the first half of this year. I don't know why I said the first half of this year, as though I have any plans for the second half of this year. Yeah, I begin my Vegas residency. What are your plans for the second half of this year yeah i begin my vegas residency and what are your plans for q3 um but uh so yeah this is the kind of like uh this is the the moment i guess where

any uh bit of productivity that i was able to kind of muster during the uh you know big kind of down pandemic times uh comes to uh fruition hopefully um so uh how many books is this now for you um i i think it's this will be if you count a book that i co-wrote i think this is the seventh book so more like six and a half is what i'm it's more like six and a half is what i'm like yeah this guy's rounding up yeah like when your kid is immediately i'm basically seven no my kids will hold on to six and a half forever they'll be like am i six and a half yet and like no you're two that's tough asking all these questions um but uh so i know a lot of people who've written a book and they say it's the hardest thing yeah and but they're all so happy uh so i guess why did i even

ask but isn't it the the saying is like it's nice to have written a book but writing a book is yeah the most awful does it get is it the hardest thing ever when you're doing your seventh? Or are you now, are you like James Patterson cranking them out? Yeah, well, I've got a team. There's a Charlie mold and we just fill it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I've got a team. I'm basically just throwing premises out to these young, young kids.

I mean, the most of them refresh you out of school. I say, okay, a baker has to dismantle a bomb that's in a cake that was sent to the president. Go. I need 70,000 words. Oh, yeah. And Bill Clinton wants to co-write it. So put a little bit of, put a cigar in it. So, no, I mean, it's, so it's not, it's not easy. I mean,'s so it's not easy I mean I write short books

so maybe that's maybe I'm rounding up even more criminally like it's six and a half but really it should be like three how many of them were flip books I mean if you mean I began with one loyalty, like it's a spy novel where the guy goes

forget it, forget Her Majesty, I'm going with Russia. Then all of them. I would love to write a children's book. I think that would be fun. I think you then get into write a children's book i think that would be fun um that counts as even less no yeah that's i think you can then get into a lot of once you have a like a single digit word count um but i think it's it's hard i mean it's hard to do it well because it's like writing a song like i mean i think because uh like as a comedian you think oh i can like, and because we do goofy songs, you think,

oh, I could write a song. And then you try and write. I've never thought that. No, you never thought, like the lyrics to a song. Sorry,

not the music. Graham and I wrote 12 songs together. That's right. I forgot about that. And then we, you're talking to Spartacus here. We started our own label and then, you know what?

We broke up and a lot of people blame my girlfriend. Yeah, that's true. Sallyally but she is an incredible artist i will yes that's right on her own yeah yeah yeah um yeah so uh i think it's incredible that you've written so many oh well i mean thank you and uh it's it's a um you know, it's just nobody asks you to stop officially. Like they do with stand-up. They're constantly saying, okay. Exactly. Like, yeah, it's time to, you know, you've made your point.

So, yeah, you know, it's, I still, there's never any feeling like at the beginning when you, like the first time you get a box of your own books, like it's just, you can't believe it's happening. The first time you go into a bookstore and your book is on the shelf. And then there are like little things like that. Like the first time, the first time I was in store in another country and and the book was there and and and like that shit those kind of little bits and pieces so these two books the the the the uh dr budro mysteries the two um it's it's a it's a mystery series with a hero based on my um my real life uh psychologist uh these are the first pretty stoked about that like yeah like she was very uh like um and people kind of figured it out immediately um and so they

were like bringing it up in sessions with her like the first um when the first book came out they're like so are you like uh solving mysteries now uh but uh these were the first this was the first time i sold uh rights um in the united kingdom and uh uh uh so yeah exactly so i'm hoping that i can do an audiobook for um in that voice that um adam buxton uh very Adam Buxton very kindly the very specific pay accent that I'll do the, she walked into the room and said, this is all

rubbish. I mean, I can finally justify all of that dialogue. People were like, why is this so? Why have you spelled curb? K-E-r-b why that's really like i mean i i as a canadian we spell so many words the british way yeah we're never gonna do curb with a k we're never gonna do tire with a y no or jail with a g-a-o-l

that's the one that sends me flying. I've never seen that before. Yeah. That's how they pronounce it. I went to jail. Jail. Went to gaol. When I was a kid, there'd be like a comic book that my aunt would send us and all the

prisoners in the comic book there, instead of stripy, which was the standard, they have arrows that point up. They're completely covered in what yeah yeah yeah so it's always like uh what the what the fuck is that about but then what are the stripes about that that's not better well just i think they're just trying to make a prison as unflattering as possible oh sure that's all it is So then not only are you doing 30 to life, you also feel a little, oh, come on. Yeah.

Yeah, nobody looks good in orange. Crime is vain. Yeah. So it's so exciting when you get that first box of books. How many boxes of books do you have? You get one box of books per book. But I used to play in bands, and I still have boxes of CDs. Those are going to come back in fashion, though.

But they weren't in fashion at the time. No one wanted mine. I know, but it's coming back. You can sell it as, like, you didn't quite catch this new generation. You can hang this from your rearview mirror and it'll, you know, confuse the radar gun. Yeah, or you can hang it on trees and that'll spook away crows. Are these both true? Is that why? Because I have seen the CDs hanging from trees.

Yeah, that's what it is. Is that for crows? Crows or, yeah, I think it's's gross because they spin and catch the light or something it's always mr jones yeah no you keep that one you put the next album out on the tree it's been a long december i didn't know that about uh the radar um i don't know if it works either. I think I saw that on Mythbusters once. That's the first time I had heard of it, and they were like, nope. But you can beat a radar by going backwards, right?

Because they can only count you if you're going forward. Yes, yes. That guy was reversing at 140 all the way down the highway. Our hands are tied. I was trying to get Cameron's dad's Ferrari back to normal. That was such a stretch. I mean, that movie is full of stretches, but that we were meant to believe that they thought that by running the car

in reverse you would set the odometer back they do it for a while before they notice that it's not working you would do it for about uh you know 30 seconds 30 seconds weren't they in the hot tub kind of uh getting loose wasn't that during their reverso time were they doing drugs? no they were just getting loose muscles you know that was the heroin scene right? is this Requiem for a Dream?

I'm always confused because it was just coming out of the 70s Requiem for a Dream that's the ideal double feature they both have beautiful brunettes yeah also the dad speaking of the brunette when she's in the cab

I don't think that's who Dave I thought you thought that's who Dave meant because he's more of a silver fox but like he sees her in the cab and she kind of makes eyes at him, but don't they know her from Ferris Bueller dating?

Please don't find any holes in this movie. You guys were just talking about the optometer. I feel like I was just joining in the fun. And don't they know his mannequin? I mean, they know he has a mannequin that's right or do they imagine getting the snoring your pre-taped snoring sounds like i guess i'll put

the speaker in my bed like he didn't though no that's true it's just a mannequin in the bed. Mannequin in the bed, snoring with the alarm, or speaking to them in the intercom. That was kind of like a next level kind of thing. Yeah. You gotta respect that. I respect everything about him. I respect when he's jumping over the

fences, then he runs past some ladies, goes back, introduces himself. That was in 1986 1986 and have you ever worked one of those intercoms in someone's house yeah yeah yeah 35 years i have like i've tried them and they're never the person always has to be like okay stop pushing the button when i'm talking yeah there's never anything like in a Batman movie or something where somebody goes to visit Bruce Wayne that they're like, uh, Bruce Wayne please.

One second. He gets a call on the red phone where it's like, Commissioner, where are you in your house? Because I cannot, I can't hear anything you're saying. I'm at the gates of your house. I was at, Commissioner, where are you in your house? Because I can't hear anything you're saying. I'm at the gates of your house. I was at, so I'm on the Nextdoor app,

which is an app that people complain about. What is it? So it's basically an app for, you put in your postal code. You're actually supposed to put in your real name and real address and I did not do that but I got pretty close. I don't see why anything could have

happened if you done that. And then people post like it's always complaining like 99% of it is someone stole my bike. Here's a security cam picture. I called the police. The police won't do anything. Be on the lookout for these people.

So it's like a neighborhood watch 2.0. Yeah, it's, uh, there's, you know, I guess there's, I do it mostly as a curiosity. There's a bad vibe to it. It feels very kind of elitist or or um right like anti poor people look at these guys what are they doing in uh yeah it's a lot of in my basement it's a lot of like not only not just people stealing bikes but i feel like this guy might steal a bike yeah yeah yes keep an eye on

tony i want to say yeah a lot of pre-crime yeah which can get you pregnant by the way yeah that's right um you're hanging out in the hot tub the but there was one this morning that was uh a picture of these three like 11 year olds and it said these teenagers have been have been uh like pranking my elderly mother they had their faces blurred out but these three teenagers have been pranking my elderly mother what what's what can anyone suggest a solution i bought alcohol for them and now they're doing this to my house, these teens. God damn it. And they just ring the doorbell and run away. But the solutions were, one of them was, put up a sign that says,

You're scaring my elderly mother. Who wouldn't love that sign? What is the purpose of sharing a blurred out photo of three 11-year-olds? Why not just say, children are scaring my mother? I know. I guess it was like, do you recognize these jogging pants? But one of the solutions someone wrote was, install a locking gate. That seems pretty extreme

okay so what let's troubleshoot what could we do for somebody who's got an infestation of 11 year olds you know what they say if there's no thing that can stop

three teenagers is a good guy with a gun so that's I mean it is commensurate with you know giving an old lady the heebie jeebies you've had your chance to be productive members of society yeah i'm giving you three seconds to

get the fuck off my program yeah i mean this to me this sounds like a case for encyclopedia brown if we could get him on the on on the case uh but i mean is there something could you set a little trap for them like Something that they, a tripwire that makes snoring sounds come out? You know, it's just like, what do they love that game that's all blocks? Oh, Minecraft!

With some Minecraft situations in the box and they'll rummage through and then it shoots a dart into your neck. Yeah. One of those, a giant log comes swinging down, or two giant logs come swinging down and crush you.

I guess you could put up a sign. Like, the thing that would scare me off would be human contact. Like, if the elderly woman was just, like, outside waiting in her nightgown oh god she's a real person yeah and you all all she has to do is rock back and forth and say i warned you i tried to warn you because also like kids think that uh a house with an old lady

they think that's a witch house right yeah you Yeah. You got to just play up. You got to play one of those spooky sound effects, playlist, thriller and whatnot. Ghostbusters. We didn't know it was Ray Parker Jr.'s house. I stole this from Huey Lewis too. You just

woke up Ray Parker Sr. You're freaking him out. Or you know, you could do the thing that you do with dogs. You can put a bunch of pennies in a Coke can and shake that to try and get the kids over. A spritz bottle? Pennies in a coke can and uh shake that to try and get the kids a spritz bottle pennies in a coke can uh feels like um like you know if if if uh frank sinatra and sid vicious

had ever done like a genuine uh collaboration like yeah what would the song be called pennies in a coke can is fucking oh like what the uh like it just sounds it sounds like a halfway romantic halfway uh halfway right yeah pennies in a coke can sounds like it does sound like uh like uh maybe a tom waits title or something yeah like a punk ballad yeah tom waits is kind of like the sid vicious frank sinatra yeah that's true if you mix those two together that's what you get um charlie do you uh do you have your neighborhood is very close everybody knows each other in your neighborhood and uh which is very i i find that very uh wonderful and uh because i don't know anybody in my building well we all know each

other in the in the co-op, right? Because everybody's on committees with each other and stuff like that. But there's also a ton of kids who are all within this kind of five-year range. And so they all go out and play and and like so it on a sunny weekend you just like the kids just go outside and and terrorize old ladies yeah i find that when kids come out and play you got to keep them separate counterpoint well i mean uh dave it's a little offensive i mean you were talking about my offspring take the rest of the podcast off you too hey charlie get a job dave you are pretty fly for a white guy

i uh this is a a new spin-off podcast that that Dave and I are working on called the Pop Punk Volley. Is there a worse opening? It came on the radio the other day, and it's just the most unpleasant thing to hear is the opening line. My friend's got a girlfriend and he hates that bitch. Oh, man. They got so, um, yeah,

they were the worst of that. Uh, I, cause I remember like I, there was, there was, there were one or two offspring albums that I, um,

I, you know, as like a teenager, uh, quite enjoyed. They were in that, like they were in that just kind of middle area of like, they weren't quite like you had to go to some community hall in Lynn Valley to

hear about them. Like they weren't like totally on underground, but, but they hadn't quite become like sort of blink one 82, but mean. And then, and then they just became like, it was like,

what the hell is it like it was it's like they heard blink 182 and they're like we should be funny and then they just said mean yeah like when people like people men this rarely happens with women it's almost always men who when they find out they're talking to a comedian they're like oh yeah yeah you fuck face like they're just like they just think they have to be awful do you know who my favorite comedian is offspring dexter holland and also what kind of name is like dexter holland i mean that's he sounds like uh like the mean kid yeah exactly he sounds like the mean kid

in a like 80s camp movie like dexter holland sounds like his dad owns like the textile works yeah i think he's in caddyshack three um he's also i know I've mentioned it on the podcast, but he's like, he's an IQ, like, he's an actual genius. Yeah, well, he's got like an advanced degree in physics or something. Yeah, and he also can fly a plane and has his own celebrated hot sauce, his own brand of hot

sauce. But then he went to get a tattoo, he asked for a 13 and he got a 31. Yeah, it's true, so it's weighted back and forth. I love that. That's a, I, first of all,

I would not have had him pegged for a genius, but second, I love it when people are a genius and then, and then we all know about it. Like, so clearly he's like Dexter Holland is leaking his mental. That's right. He's leaking this to the press.

I also like, uh, like, Oh yeah, he's a genius. He's a pilot. He's got an advanced degree. He's got a very good hot sauce.

Like there's a big drop off. I don't know. Does anybody on this podcast have a very well good selling hot sauce? I mean, it's got to take some sort of, uh, you know, what's his hot sauce called? i don't know oh man i hope it's something offspring related at least yeah yeah um they got

to keep you separated that's all that's all i know that was my only reference i could throw into this back and forth yeah dexter holland's opus uh it's called gringo bandito oh wow that certainly fits in yeah i feel like we all should have been able to figure that out yeah yeah i mean there should be some kind of ixnay on the ombre man you are a trove of offspring references i'm not sure I could have had that many when I was 14. Yeah. Well, I hadn't released Dixie on the ombre yet. That's true. So, Charlie, it's been at least a year since we've chatted with you.

Aside from writing a book and releasing an album, what else has been going on with you? Tell us a tale. Oh, I don't know if you want a tale. I mean, this... Tell us some folklore then. Yeah. Let me tell you about Paul Bunyan.

He was my next door neighbor, and boy, what a mess he made of my yard. His mom scared easy. I, you know, it's not things, I mean, things aren't good, right? Like, I mean,

it's not, it's, this is very much a time for the simple pleasures in life, and them pleasures keep getting simpler. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, yeah, I mean, it has been really nice

with things kind of starting to get a bit more normal in terms of getting to see friends, and family stuff is, is nice. So, um, uh, we, we went to, uh, we went to a, uh, a wedding that, you know, Josephine was, uh, you know, was asked to be a flower girl for a wedding that was postponed three times. It was my wife, Kara's cousin's wedding. So, you know, when she was asked to be a flower

I was like, I get to be a flower girl? And now it's like, come on, we gotta get these petals all over this aisle. If not this is gonna be a total wipeout. You know, and like, it was a You raised her carny, right? That was your religion.

Exactly, yeah. Well, reformed carny. But she uh you know you know and and we drove from toronto to montreal to go see my grandmother and and that was lovely my dad um and his partner drove down from halifax to meet us there and so there you know there are nice things but even like going back east it was it was like traveling back in time in the pandemic like like things were so much worse out there like they really went through like ontario went through like total lock like when they went through lockdowns it wasn't like you can't go to a restaurant it was it was like they were locked down and and you you drove out east with

uh a few hundred of your trucker buddies. Yeah. Honking all the way. I would say we were kind of a liberty squadron. That's not exactly the word. But no, it was, you know, anyway, it was, it's, they're just like, and this is what life is always like, right? But it's. A box box of chocolate i know this one it's uh yeah and one of them but they're all with toothpaste right who was it to put the toothpaste in the chocolate uh as a prank was that a famous prank or is that an anonymous prank

that would actually taste good as far as I'm concerned mint and chocolate great prank you guys this is delicious you know it's like life is you know I love having a you know Josephine is 8 now and so

I have like a yeah like a legit you know kid right, I, you know, Josephine is, is eight now. And so I have like a, yeah, like a legit, you know, um, kid. Right. And I mean, you,

you know, you know what this is like, David's like the, the, almost all the baby fumes are just like burnt off. Like you just, now you have like a real kid and that's, you know,

that, that's really fun. And, and, um, you know, then there were also like, uh, challenges that, that come with that. And, fun and and um you know then there were also like uh challenges that that come with that and and and uh i don't know i mean it's like i i don't i don't want to lie

right i don't want to say like oh it's been a wonderful time it's been a really tough time it's it's like i so yeah joji went through her terrible twos and now she's in her hateful eights right she's in there she's in the hateful eights and uh you know what i'm just trying to turn her into the inglorious bastard we had pictured when we were pregnant yeah i mean you really gotta wait you gotta i mean it's gonna be a tough couple years because you know seven eight nine yeah that's true um i you were talking about growing out of those, the last few baby fumes. I, uh,

Poppy, my five-year-old today, I, I was like, Oh, I wonder if she still has like little baby fists. She does. Yeah.

So you challenged her to a fight. Yeah. She doesn't have knuckles that stick out yet. It was, it was nice to, Oh, she also drops her left hand. So that's when you want to work yeah um i you posted a picture uh josephine lost two teeth the other day yeah in one day i because margo lost a few teeth a while like she lost i guess she's lost six or eight teeth this is also boxing related

yeah yeah but then it's been like 10 months or a year since she's lost any and we kind of were like is that it yes yes these two that she lost in one day were the first in a year like so at the beginning of the pandemic if you look at pictures of josephine she's got like three teeth in her mouth by the way listeners don't yeah you look up pictures of these this guy's kid no yeah i don't want that to be the uh google um you know when you do like uh if you put your name into google and then it also says what people search yeah for a For a long time, it was, it would say if I put in Charlie Demers would autofill wife. Uh-huh. Um,

like, so people wanted to see if I really did have that kind of king of Queens situation. Sure. Uh, your eyes were getting weary at the time. Back was getting tight. Yeah.

A little bit. Um, uh, but, uh, the, she, so she had like no, so her whole, the whole shape of her face tight. Yeah. A little bit. Um, uh, but, uh, the, she, she,

so she had like no, so her whole, the whole shape of her face changed. Right. So she went into the, uh, pandemic with like chubby little kid face and a whole bunch of baby teeth. And then like,

you know, the, her face leaned out and she lost all her teeth and they came in like, you know, and then she's got a retainer so she had a um she went to law school and we wanted to keep her around and and uh so um that was my like uh kind of you know if i if i had to you know do like a 60s uh or or like a karnak thing of what is my daughter and a corporate lawyer have in common

an expensive retainer. But she, so she just looks completely different from the beginning of the beginning of the pandemic. Also, she used to be blonde. Yeah, that's true. I forgot that she was

a blonde. It's a change blonde do you guys remember like tonguing the tooth that was just like just hanging around and you're just trying to push it out a little bit do you remember tonguing the gum after it after the tooth was so slimy that's totally

that's like a real sense memory like all of a sudden I just you're just like kind of pushing on it, but you don't, you don't want it to go flying out of your head. Yeah. We should have a segment on the show where we just reminisce about tonguing things. Tongues for the memories, it would be called. I remember the first time I pulled out a tooth for her and immediately that feeling was like, Oh my God.

Like I remember that so distinctly. Was it loose or? Yeah. I wanted to get the tooth fairy stuff that like I knew harder financial times were coming. So I was like, listen, if you want this to work,

you got to cooperate. So I just like, listen, if you want this to work, you got to cooperate. So I just started yanking her teeth out by hand. But she, but like when I pulled that tooth, it was like, I was instantly six years old again. Like that feeling of like just the tiniest bit of resistance, but mostly given that we like, it's an uncanny thing like when you're losing your teeth it's it's it's very eerie like and they're like the the thing the the smile on their face as their mouth is bleeding oh yeah it's eerie it's also that weird you know they've got that weird smile where there's some adult teeth poking in and there's still a couple baby teeth or just a gap yeah there's no tooth tough age tough age that yeah

but uh certainly dentally yes did she break her retainer yet or is it still in the future no no she's been uh mostly the only issues are um uh if if if kara takes her alone to the orthodontist uh like instead of me driving them uh or me driving josephine like if it's just me if because kara doesn't have a license so if if kara takes her on the bus she has one time left the retainer she left the retainer on the bus oh so that's where you want to yeah but anyway i'm now working with pixar on kind of a you know the retainer on the bus kind of what sort of adventures did it have where did it go yeah as soon as you take it out of your mouth yeah a retainer on a public uh bus you know it has its little sidekick is this little um you know e-coli bacteria cluster that uh yeah anyway it's just a toothbrush is

trying to track down the retainer because they're best friends this sounds pretty good actually yeah yeah and it's just you know basically we're hoping if we can scare kids off of public transit we'll have done our job randy newman uh has written written oh see we were talking earlier about like root tootin bootin like uh it would be but root r-o-u-t-e uh like root tootin uh anyway that's what randy newman's working on for okay okay something with kind of a root tootin bus route tootin uh um anyway it's all still kind of early uh development but uh we have been greenlit oh good congratulations but only for the bustling who's uh who's attached to star who's interested in this project um so selena gomez is voicing the retainer okay

we lost gilbert godfrey uh oh yes as our um bacteria cluster which um is uh as you know a huge um a huge loss and you know how perfect he would have been so yeah now we're thinking you can kind of construct that out of his old uh ranting yeah i mean i think that would be the tasteful thing to do uh kind of a posthumous cybernetic reconstruction. I know, I think we're going to go in a completely different direction. We're going to go, I know, is Bob Hoskins also dead? Yes, unfortunately he is also dead.

I was going to say Bob Hoskins. Oh man, he is. All the best. We're down to the real dregs. Yeah. Fine, you know what? We'll bring in Will Smith. We'll get Will Smith on the cheap. Nice. He was good as that genie in that other movie everybody loves that yeah and uh yeah it's gonna be great my favorite gilbert godfrey because i opened for him uh years and years ago and he was on like the breakfast

show and he told uh at the end of the interview he said uh, uh, yeah, if you want to know more, you can check it out on my blob. And that's really, he really didn't know the word blog. Check it out on my blob. It wasn't a joke. He thought it was a blob. Oh, wow.

He was so, um, like I, I met him one time. He was like at, um, at the comedy mix. I don't know if it was the comedy mix yet. It might still have been yuck yucks at the time. He was at like at the comedy mix. I don't know if it was the comedy mix yet.

It might still have been Yuck Yucks at the time. It was like, it was on like a pro am night or something like one of those nights where there's like nine comics in the green room. And he just quietly smiling, sat in the kind of, you know, everyone was excited to see him,

but he would just kind of give you a little wave and a nice, and he just sat there so quietly the whole time and then he went out on stage and was exactly gilbert godfrey like he was like just precisely him so i always wondered what how different he was off like because he was just uh he was like a little boy like he was so small and he just sat there so quietly and just very politely smiling at everyone. Yeah. It's a,

but there are people there, you, we know people like that who are different offstage and onstage. Not everyone's you, Charlie. Yeah, that's right. Or it's just seamless transition.

But it was my just brand consistency across platforms. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. My thing is that I, you know, I go up there and I rant. I really like backstabbed. I's true. Yeah. My thing is that I, you know, I go up there and I rant. I really like back.

Yeah. I'm nice and quiet. And I go up there. Listen up. Cox is how I always start my routine. Here's some shit. Listen up. Cox.

All right. Sheeple. Yeah. What I do, I go, I talk about tools. I grunt, but off stage, Ian yeah talk about appliance

um yeah it's uh anyway sweet man uh yeah um do you because you have a child and i know dave also has two children are you is the disney channel always on in your house is disney plus just a constant or you know what we just got access to it we um my dad because we didn't know you're allowed to um they have up to three whatever's on uh right on one account and so my dad was like you know you can watch the uh so we we have had it on she's watched encanto maybe like conservatively like 15 16 times so that is on a lot but the main thing that she's been watching on disney plus is with me, we've been watching a bunch of the early Simpsons and she loves it. And that has been very, very fun. Uh, cause she's, and then she wants me to do quizzes

for her about the Simpsons. So she, she says, quiz me about the Simpsons. And so then I have to come up with questions about the Simpsons that are in that sweet spot of not insulting to her but then also not too hard because you'll go like, oh, what color is Lisa's dress? And it's like, come on dad, you're too red.

But then you go, what is the Simpsons minister's name? And then she'll give you these kind of like scared eyes for just a split second like she forgets that there are no stakes and so it's it's if there it's if it's a slightly harder question it's multiple choice that is a very weird like like sweet spot of having i thought the hard questions were like okay so Dan Castanella came up with

Joe but what does it say in the script? Do you know the answer to that question? Annoyed Grunt Really? And he came up with Doe And his original voice for Homer was inspired by

Walter Matthau. So that's a weird little. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was doing Walter Matthau. Ask Joji if she knew that. She loves Walter Matthau. Remember, he would talk like, hey there, Bart. How do you tell it?

Like, if you get the gig for something like they're like yeah we like that that's what it is for our show and then you just slowly entirely change or like around season two are they like we're we don't like the voice anymore but we're gonna keep you yeah we we're obligated to keep you so if you're were also like, we're going to slowly wean this off being a show that's primarily about church. Right. But then the other thing that they, uh,

like I didn't, I didn't know, like, and I, you know, as you know, I'm a, I'm a super fan of the Sopranos,

but, but Tony's voice also changed. Like they did a huge, a big long hiatus and, and he like, and there are like videos about this on YouTube. Well, he got his adult teeth. Right.

That's right. He got made. Between the pilot and... That's what they mean when they say you got made. It's like when your grown-up teeth come in. You got your button. That's your molars. And then you go back and you watch

and you're like oh yeah he's doing an entirely different voice in the first season and he was just doing walter mathau and he was just doing g Gottfried as Iago. I don't think we can make Christopher. That's the only celebrity impression that I have at the moment is Gilbert Gottfried on Sopranos. Did you watch The Many Saints of Newark? Oh, yeah, I did. I didn't. I tried. It is. you watch the many saints of newark oh yeah i did i didn't i tried it is so i was watching it and joe and kara so i saw it in the theaters did you ask here's a good question a trivia question to ask

hey what is many saints in italian yeah she she says uh like i i watched in the theater and then i i watched in theater and i was very unsettledled by how lukewarm I felt about it. I was like, was that not good? Because I was so excited about it, and I was like, I don't know. And then I was thinking about it and trying to be generous. I watched it again when it came out on Crave. On Laserdisc? Well, no. All my Laserdiscs are on Crow Duty. Kara was

in the background while I had it on. Literally, she turns to me at one point and she says, what is this shitty Goodfellas ripoff you were watching? And I i said this is the sopranos movie it was it was so bad it was so bad and it starts if you like the very first scene is like it's somebody it's christopher talking from beyond the grave in gilbert godfrey's voice yeah i can't believe i'm not here anymore And they're all like Hey All the old mobsters are like

Hey, do you think we should be the Sopranos? Yeah, good idea I've always wondered how it started Yeah, they see a bunch of people singing choir And they're like That's kind of weird We're a group like them Guys, I woke up this morning

I got myself a gun. How about we call ourselves the Castratos? Okay, not quite. We're close though. Let's workshop this. Okay, we got the Sopranos, but I've been kind of doodling in my notebook. What if the R was a little handgun? It got us t-shirts it was not good it was um and and and

he the son michael gandolfini right he was great he was he was like which on paper should have been the riskiest part of the thing like that like oh come on this is gonna be so corny like to have the guy's son who's you know and and instead he was fantastic like he was very i thought it was it was his two sons in an overcoat yes yeah on each other's shoulders that was some that was put out by the the studio to confuse people right sometimes they send the real it's got a completely different name. This is, yeah, this is way of,

uh, tricking us. And then when it was just the one guy, people were thrilled. Yeah. It was a CGI. It was, it was,

I just thought it was Jar Jar Binks that they had in the, um, but it is, there is something very, uh, uh, a phantom menace about the, uh,

the many saints in Newark it was like this thing came out the way that you were like oh you uh i thought you knew everything and then and and but but the thing was i mean at that and when when phantom menace came out like george lucas had made like you know six hours of that story right the surprise The Sopranos was 86 hours of over... And a lot of those hours, they're 86ing people. Thank you. No, they changed their name to the Whitecaps. That is, I mean, that's the nichest joke I could possibly have engineered because also the season 4

finale episode of the Sopranos was called Whitecaps so it's kind of a perfect joke for the Vancouver soccer fan Sopranos crossover crowd before we get to know what's going on

with Dave let's go to a little break from where are we get to know what's going on with dave let's go to a little break from uh you know where we're going to talk about uh the max fun drive okay okay okay okay okay okay it's time to get down to business yeah this look we've been flirting with different materials of tack. We've been getting down to copper tacks. We've been getting down to flannel tacks. But now it's time to give that to brass tacks. Those flannel tacks do not hold. No, and you know what? They look good, though, but that's why you buy them.

You're like, oh, this will work with my outfit. Yeah. Well, everyone, like, on your watch, tool tool time and everyone thinks every week yes everyone thinks tim is an idiot but al you know al does good work but then you look at it like these are flannel tags yeah they're flannel and he um he had a beard when it was like kind of not a common thing to have a beard but we salute you we salute you yeah whiskery king he was uh sort of like i guess he was in the bob vila mold yes yeah oh he helped uh fix up this old house of mine you did he yeah is that him bob vila that's him yeah

Well, um... Spin us a yarn. Uh, not a heck of a lot. I've been sick all week. Oh, yeah. And so I, uh, have you been sick at all? Uh, Graham, you haven't had COVID. No.

Charles? I don't intend to get it I did have COVID how did that treat you it was like a medium severity cold that had like a long tail and big sharp teeth

like it had like a long tail of like several weeks of kind of zapped energy and kind of cloudy thinking. And I don't want to get too into the details of this, but it's possible that it has actually had some longer term effects as well. I don't know for sure. Like, but I got some kind of medical news a few weeks ago that, that it is possible that it was linked to,

and I don't think there'll be any way of verifying whether it came from it, but it was, yeah, I mean, it was, it's not good. I mean, like I got it at Christmas and so it was, it was um yeah i mean it was it it's not good i mean like i got it at christmas and so it was it was the it was the kind of less severe kind and i had already had my two shots at that point and and um even josephine had one of her shots and and um it was you know uh yeah it was it was it was tough yeah i'm sorry to hear that yeah yeah yeah I mean it's yeah it's

it's not funny sorry I'm telling you I was in the midst of trying to make a joke but I was like nah why did I say any of that so you know it's kind of like kind of makes you wonder well what if I'm getting that vibe. Why did I say any of that? So, you know, it's kind of like, kind of makes you wonder, well, what if the Sopranos got COVID?

That might be a kind of fun sort of. No. Yeah. It was. So it. So, yeah, we did get it. And then I. But then I was able to go to Calgary in January to do shows.

Oh, so. Because I was like, well, I've already been through the fire. I can go be a frontline worker. But Dave, this isn't COVID as far as you know. So I woke up last Saturday with a sore throat. Got yourself a gun. I woke up this morning, got myself a gun, a gun of Kleenexes. It had a sore throat. We have a bunch of Kleenexes. Uh, it had a sore throat. We have a bunch of tests.

We have like a 20 pack of tests. Plus the kids, I each got five from their school. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And I think we maybe had, we got some like travel tests as well that,

uh, well, but so like, I was like, okay, I'll, I'll take a test this morning. Nothing.

No, no, uh, it was negative. And then the next day I still like, okay, I'll take a test this morning. Nothing. No, it was negative. And then the next day, I still had a weird sore throat. And I was like, oh, maybe it's, maybe I'm developing something. Took another test the next day. Negative. The next day, I was like, I had all the symptoms.

Sneezing, cold, coughing. So, you can rest medicine. Nausea, heartburnburn indigestion upset stomach diarrhea speaking of the weird british spellings some of that diarrhea with an o in it i mean if any word should have an o i don't know diarrhea diarrhea that's the irish spelling diarrhea um so uh then yeah i was very sick on the third day took a test negative super sick on the fourth day i'd like that was the worst of it took a test negative like at what point would you like i'm now on day seven yeah i've i did i didn't this is the first day i haven't taken a test but like i just i'm i just feel like oh well i've i got the mucus so put it to use

yeah i mean there's still other illnesses right like it's not like covid came in and was just like sit down grandpa i'm making people sick from here on out i know my sister-in-law got the norwalk virus she had already got covid and then just like a week ago she had that so you're right like all the other viruses have taken a back seat but some of them are making a comeback yeah yeah oh boy i you know i wish them well so i'm i think i i think i'm just uh i'm getting over a cold but this week i i haven't been this sick in a while because i on tuesday i just didn't do anything i just stayed home and watched tv and i kept passing out watching tv and i never shit like in the middle of the day, I would just fall asleep for like, you know, five minutes at a time. And then what?

Yeah. Like a real nice, like senior activity, just like sitting in a chair, falling asleep a little bit. And then boom, a group of 11 year old teenagers at the window. teenagers at the window. I can't remember if it was three 11-year-old teenagers or 11 3-year-old teenagers. Or one 33-year-old. Dying for your sins.

Yeah, thank you. The original rebellious teen. Yeah, when you said like, and then on the third day, was even sicker i was like well this is not the easter pattern uh but i did watch on that day when i kept passing out i watched the velvet underground documentary i was wondering because yes yes oh i thought you thought i was gonna say velvet Velvet Revolver, the slash band with Scott Weiland. But I was like, I guess you posted that.

What's your dog's name? Monster. Monster. So the video of Monster, like, I don't know, nodding off or I don't know what you call uh his response to the music but i was like oh where do i know that tune like it was it like you know you just hear that on you know that drone contextual drone and then and then i was like velvet underground um yeah my george costanza response to uh oh it's the underground baby uh but yeah that was excellent have you did you see it or just the video of the dog i just saw the video of the dog oh yeah sorry uh i did not see this video

no no my dog yeah he was just he was just uh you know kind of nodding off to the music of the velvet underground and it's a band it's a band that i don't know a lot about i know some of the music uh and i know they were like affiliated with andy warhol oh okay but they didn't mention the like the famous thing about that everyone says about the velvet underground is that you know not very many people who bought their album but everyone who did started a band started a band who is that and it was making me think of like oh are there like things about you know not everyone uh who ate that food not a lot of people ate that food but everyone who did started a restaurant yeah yeah it was one of those mashups between like a muffin and a croissant. A cruffin?

Yeah, a cruffin. Or a moissan. Moissan sounds good, actually. I love the idea of, yeah, the, because there are magazines like that, right? like a magazine with like a circulation of of you know like a couple thousand but everyone who reads it is a is like a cabinet minister or whatever so it has like an outside so like that yeah the idea of like just a totally outsized like yeah i was not everyone did laser tag there but everyone who did laser tag there started a laser tag play yeah or yeah like a video game it's like yeah like everyone who played this game went on to make

mario that's the documentary making mario i was thinking about uh podcasting and I was like, oh, is there a show that like, no, like we don't have a big audience. A lot of our listeners make their own podcast, but it's not. I think that's all podcasts. I think so. But then I was thinking about the time that at work, someone at Kelly and Kelly needed to go buy a microphone and they wanted to buy this microphone. And the guy at Long and McQuaid was like, are you a Joe Rogan listener? Everyone comes to the store, tries to buy this microphone because Joe Rogan said to buy this microphone. Oh, wow.

Yeah. They have their creatine under their arm. Yeah. Can I get a tub of a microphone? That's true. It hadn't occurred to me like what that... That's just like an unspeakably valuable product placement. Because I guess on all of his YouTube clips and whatever,

you see the microphone, it's right there. He doesn't even have to say, go buy the microphone it's right there. Like he doesn't even have to say, go buy this. Like it's just, it's right there the whole time. Yeah. And you too can be Joe Rogan. And I love that.

The, one of the things that everybody seems to agree on is that Joe Rogan is short. That seems to be everyone like from fans to not fans, everybody agrees. Joe Rogan, tiny little guy. Yeah. I was in that same green room that I was in with Gilbert Gottfried.

I was in with Joe Rogan once. For real? Sure. Yeah. And he went, he went, I was on news radio. No, he was, you know, he was quite pleasant. And that night, kind of a heckler, sort of a proto-meathead. I mean, because this was before he was a total household name.

I mean, he had already been on Fear Factor and News Radio and stuff. But this kind of early adopter meathead in the front row was being way kind of crazy. And when he was ejected by the bouncer, the bouncer basically put him in a choke hold. And Joe Rogan was like, whoa!

That is a little harsh. So that was my, uh, um, so that was my, uh, up close Joe Rogan experience. And you said, who's saying that? And then you look down and you're like,

Oh, there he is. But that's probably where he started doing his MMA commentary. That's why, that's how he got his cat trace. Whoa, that's a little harsh. And the two of us sauntered up to the long and mcquade

a bucket of microphones is there a a type of documentary you could watch over and over i could watch any band documentary i've watched the uh robert crumb documentary several times oh like anything that's about uh there's also this one that i've watched so many times and i still think it's hilarious is about this guy who's a forger of art and he's very very good at it but then he donates them to like harvard's library or whatever as the real thing and so they have no idea which ones are real, which ones are fake. Is he the Dutch guy? No, he's an American guy. And they've asked him repeatedly to stop doing this, but he's not doing anything illegal.

And he declines to stop doing it. I like a Forger documentary, too. There's a Dutch guy. There's one about a, I think he's Dutch. And he goes to the flea market and be oh this is uh some painting for by some like amateur in the in belgium in 1929 right well uh then i need this canvas to do a uh like a oh so that it can be tested yeah the canvas is from that year yeah oh wow and then it was uh you know he does a banksy on it what's uh what's your favorite genre of documentary well orson wells

has that whole like f for fake which is about that art forger and then also it's about the guy who wrote the fake umography of Howard Hughes. Lately, I've been watching, I don't know, I re-watched the Smartest Guys in the Room, the Enron documentary, a bunch of it. That's an incredible documentary. And I'm sure there's a couple that I'm forgetting. I'm trying to remember if I've got any up on my wall.

I'm looking at the wall of movies that I physically have. But lately, I've been watching a bunch of... So on Prime, they've got all of these maybe $15 budget mafia documentaries. Just like this one with Sam Giancana's daughters and Sam Giancana was basically at the top of the Chicago mafia

and he was the one who had the same girlfriend as JFK and she claimed in the 80s that she would take money and messages between them and stuff like that this was a documentary produced by his like grand nephew involving his his like daughter it was so weird and and so like i mean and really bad as a film but i i i can't um for some reason i can't get enough of uh like i as from the time i was a

kid i'm totally um just fascinated by uh any sort of like mafia story like that um even and this was like you're watching you're like come on i could have put together a better movie than this. Or then you start watching ones and they're using photos of the wrong people. You're like, that's not... I know that photo that you're using. That's not the person you say it is. But I just... In terms of a brainless thing to put on and sit in front of, I can do that for endless,

endless amounts of time. The, um, have you ever seen a documentary where they don't have the person, uh, that they're talking about, but they have one photo that they keep referring to this one, zooming in,

zooming out, turning it into the black light, gliding across it. Or they don't have the music. Well, this is a Jimi Hendrix story, but we could only get Chubby Checkers music. That's twisting.

Like a Jimi Hendrix. And twist he did with his guitar ablaze. Hendrix twisted the public's idea of what rock and roll could sound like. It no longer sounded like Chubby Checker,

which, to remind you... Sounds like this. Yeah, I do love any kind of obvious workaround is always is always good. Although I think that's that's true of a that's true of fiction films as well. Like I watched the Parallax View with Warren Beatty. And like at one point, the there's a plane has to explode.

Like all these passengers get off the plane and then the plane explodes and then literally they all get off the plane and the camera follows Warren Beatty off the plane and then the plane disappears from view and then the camera

just shakes and they're like well come on we're not going to blow up a plane for everyone looks around behind them whoa did you see and they're like well come on we're not gonna blow up a plane yeah not even a model plane everyone looks around behind them whoa did you see that yeah nobody's flying on that thing anymore for a while

it's like in Sully they didn't even they actually just all they snuck cameras onto a regular commercial airplane okay pretend Tom pretend you're flying yeah you fake that snuck cameras onto a regular commercial airplane. Yeah. Okay, pretend. Tom, pretend you're flying it. Yeah. You fake that you're coming out of the cabin and you're worried.

This is the scene where Mike Tyson punches somebody. Yeah. Anyway, so I've been sick, watched a doc. What's up with you, Graham? Not much. Yeah, I don't have much to report although it's almost spring but it's still chilly right yeah it's very chilly this year it's bone chilling and so uh the two things that like as soon as spring hits even if it's cold is patio i'm already out on patios all over the city and your shirt lawn chairs that i take to the park the chairs are in storage but they're busted them out ready to go hang out in the park have some tall boys and whatnot oh what's the uh so have you done this yet

yeah yeah yeah i'm already out there doing it. I find that it's cold. Like when the sun's out, first of all. Guns out. Guns are out. Yeah. But when the sun's out, it's warm enough. But I need a warm night.

I'm ready for a warm night. Yes. Like a Florida night. A Talladega night. Yeah. Make it a Talladega night. Yeah. Make it a Talladega night. Yeah, it's cold and it's cold as it gets nighttime. Would you consider drinking a warm drink?

Like a toddy? Yeah, oh, like a mulled wine or something like that? Yeah, absolutely. A mulled tall boy? Yeah. It's just got fruit in it. But I went to a patio on the weekend and the

waiter that I had was obviously his first night as a waiter. He wrote down everything verbatim of what you were drinking. So he didn't have any shorthand he came over to the table and he had two glasses of wine

and a beer and he didn't know the names of them so he just said you had the white and you had the red which makes you have the beer anyways we asked him like is there any way we could sit closer to one of those heat lamps that they have on patios and he said uh he said yeah as soon as the table

clears out but then we looked around the corner and there was like six tables all with their own with their own lamp and then he said yeah you can go sit over there. And five minutes later, the manager came out and said, we're closing the patio. We were like, why did you let us move and re-situate ourselves? Well, he didn't know, Graham. He didn't know. That's right. It was his first night. They just threw in baptismal by fire.

Yeah. Is there anywhere we can sit that's warmer? Hmm. Sit on this. Patio diarrhea. Then we asked when last call is. And he's like, oh, you don't have to worry about that. It's in five or six minutes.

Oh, yeah. You'll be fine. Yeah, I'll come back here in three minutes. And, you know, we got a little wiggle room. I know a guy. He was, yeah, he was very endearing. And it was, you know, obviously he was trying his best. And you were like, oh, is it your first night?

Did you know, is tipping allowed here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've heard that it's rude to tip because it makes me think that you're too poor so we just um so yeah patio season's back how long is back what how long have you spent in a park in one sitting uh so far like two it's been like two hours so i've logged two hours so far and uh here's the many more is what i say you got some spf on those cheeks i got it you got it you gotta get uh you gotta get spf you do a little moisturizing first then the sunscreen i get the one that smells nicest the uh tropicana oh that's what you do? You just go by smell? Actually, Sam Giancana owned the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas.

Really? And he shared a girlfriend with JFK. Yep. I saw a picture of it, and it was a picture of Marilyn Monroe. Yeah, they both did also have sex with Marilyn Monroe, but at different times. Right. They had the same girlfriend at the same time, is what I'm saying.

But they didn't have sex with her at the same time. Not to my knowledge. It was a lot of scheduling. Yeah. Are you guys on Slack? Sure. Can we have sex now? Are you supposed to have sex with JFK? No, no, no.

Not for five or six minutes. You have tons of time so but if you put on moisturizer doesn't that create a slick like can you then put on sunscreen after moisturizer or won't it just um go away well you gotta wait you gotta wait a little bit what i can tell you guys here, here's something you should know. They make moisturizer with sunscreen in it. That's true. But it doesn't smell like Tropicana, which is, to me, that's a big part of the sunscreen experience. It's that fun, you know, that fun smell.

Like, it just reminds you of fun. Kind of like swimming in a pool. You're like, ah, fun. I'm about to have fun. Abby and I went to Turks andks and cacos for our uh honeymoon oh and for months afterwards like our swimsuits would smell like uh you know just like sunscreen and whatever chlorine yeah i don't know why i didn't really go in the pool but i did i turks and cacos is a good place to go on a honeymoon

because it has a beautiful coupling right in the name. If we could stay together as long as Turks and Caicos, we'll be okay. Half as long. I think the sunscreen experience sounds like

the band that would play what was it? desires and coke cans what was our dreams pennies in a coke can yeah pennies in a coke can um so you know that's about it for me me. Just hitting all the outside spots. And you're right. It's cold. It is cold. But I'm making it work.

We're going to get back into the show. Let's head towards our overheards. Thank you, everybody. Overheard. All right, overheards. Thank you so much for listening to our little pitch there for max fun drive now it is time to move on to one of the best segments on any ever every other podcast ever yeah overheards a lot of people this is actually the velvet underground of segments

not everyone everyone who heard this segment later overheard someone. Yeah, or came up with their own segment, which is good for them. Yeah. This has got to be one of the longest running segments in podcast. Definitely. Yeah, I would say so. We're one of the longest running shows in podcast. That's got to be true, right?

That is true. Episode 737. They made the shows going on so long they named a plane after us. It's you and Infowars, right? I mean, that's the only two head-in-head. Da-da-do.

Dr. Melfi. Give me the Prozac. give me some pro jack so the day Graham as you know overheards are a lot rarer these days

but the day Graham texted me and said hey do you want to come do the show I overheard this and so I was like well it's Kismet well I shouldn't set this up Graham texted me and said, hey, do you want to come do the show? I overheard this. And so I was like, well, it's Kismet. Well, I shouldn't set this up. And then people were like, oh, that was not a sign at all. That was a sign you should have said no. Like that's when an amateur, you know, says, oh my God, something so funny happened to me. It's like, no, I'll tell you if it was funny

by my response to the story. But Josephine and I went to the baseball game, the Vancouver Canadiens baseball game, which is now high A. I was going to go in a different light, like when Canadians smoke pot, uh, pretty high.

Yeah. I'm low T and high. But we, uh, we were sitting in the, in the grandstands and, uh, what does high mean?

It means there's the, the season now. Sorry. Yeah. That's why I was bringing it up. Yeah. Yeah. So he used to start in June and end in August.

It was like, uh, we were the kind of lowest level within the Toronto Blue Jays system, like the youngest guys that they're looking at as potential players. And now it's higher than that. So it's a higher level of play, and the season goes on for longer. So it was amazing to be at a baseball game in April. And sitting behind us

is this like birthday party if i would say like kind of youngish like maybe not yet not like a few years younger than us and um sort of upwardly mobile kind of people who were celebrating this birthday by watching a baseball game and then and then they were gonna go do a barbecue and and it was like you know it's not like not everybody's in seats they're on benches and so you know if you have a party there people kind of move around and they sort of have little conversations with each other and and so at one point these two paired up who didn't seem to have like that much to talk about and they were just kind of and one of them had hurt her leg or foot. And she said, this other guy knew about the injury.

And she says, yeah, you know, it's coming up on the one-year anniversary of that night, the night that she hurt herself. She says, it's coming up on the one-year anniversary of that night. And he goes, yeah, yeah. She goes, yeah, the yearversary. And he goes, the yearversary and he goes the yearversary so they both like as though not only were they saying yearversary which is insane i mean that's literally what anna means but they both said it like it was just this as though we were a recognized term that they both and I just loved the yearversary

like to give something a prefix like a kind of charming prefix that literally just reproduces the meaning of the first two syllables of the word our yearversary that's what we're going to call it from now on.

I love it. Dave, do you have an overheard? Mine is an overseen. This is something I read on Instagram. This is a comment someone wrote. I follow this art Instagram called abstract mag. Okay. Uh,

which is a lot of abstract art. And there was just this thing they posted. That was a picture of, I couldn't really figure out what it was. It looked like it was a living room with this abstract something on the wall. And I couldn't, I was like, is that a quilt?

Is it, it seems to be attached to the curtains. So I like clicked on the comments to see if there was any clarification of what that thing was. And, um, one of the comments was wonderful piece of work. I am a story writer.

Can I use this photograph as a background motive for my latest story with mentioning and tagging abstract mag just write your story just yeah just go ahead I guess yeah just or you can also just never mention us and no one will know because it's just you're just describing a room

it's very sweet though that somebody would be like and I clicked on Because you're just describing a room. That's very sweet, though, that somebody would be like... And I clicked on his profile. He doesn't seem to write any stories. Who is this James Patterson guy? Yeah. Just pictures of him with Bill Clinton, Dolly Parton. I mean, that's mostly a way of that person saying, I write stories. Yes. And yeah, that is a, I just, the number of conversations you have that are just under the guise of like, look, if I just tell you, you're allowed to tell me the thing you want to tell me,

will it get me out of the roundabout MacGuffin that you have sorted out to, to tell me? Yeah. And like, that's so interesting because my husband, uh, is a, a big murderer.

And I was wondering if I could use your murder as a motive for my story. I'll change his name and who he murdered, but he did it with such panache. Yeah. Do you have an overheard, my guy? I do. And I was in a mall. Clo uh loony yeah i knew it was

coming i said it and i knew it was coming i hope not i hope it was an inner space situation and not a sex um and there was a store that i saw a woman kind of hurrying to get to because her other friend was like going out the door. And she said, oh, my God, that store is called Ojema. I got to take a picture of it and send it to Emma. Ojema? Yeah, Ojema. How do you spell Ojema? O-G-E-M-M-A.

Oh, God. Yeah. And so she was so excited about it, though. I don't know. I didn't look. It's actually the British word for jail. O-Gemma. Yeah.

I hope Emma was excited when she got it. Yeah. She was just totally confused. Emma's very excitable. What is this photo? Then she was like, can I use this in my story? Yeah. It was a background motive for a story about someone working in a place.

Oh, Gemma. The name made me think of like, is it an orange juice? OJ? Oh, like an Orange Julius kind of situation. Ojemmas. No, the store was closed and I didn't see what they sold in there. Oh, I just looked it up.

It's Ojemma's Accessory Boutique in City Square Mall. You didn't tell me it was in City Square Mall. That's where I pick up my mail. What is accessories? Isn't it? And that's a very vague. Well, in my story, you're going to be an accessory to me.

Is this like after the fact? Yep. It looks to be scarves hats pretty pretty lady things yeah brass knuckles doesn't quite follow but uh this guy ended up with a whole box of them um oh jemma well they've just received free advertising on one of the longest running segments in the history of podcasts. Yeah, it's when our podcast airs, they always

end it up to be several people to open an Ojemma. Yeah, not a lot of, yeah, not every, not very many people will hear this, but everyone who does will open an accessory boutique in a mall. Clooney! Now, we also have overheards

from people all over the map. If you want to send one in to us, you can send it in to spy at Maximalfun.org. And this first one comes from Tim R in Victoria. My spouse and I were giving each other the did you hear that too look.

Well, we heard two 16 something theater staff coming to an agreement about who was cleaning out which theater one of the guys said to the other number six looks pretty routine but number seven looks like there was a frat party in there which one do you want

they brought a keg I don't know how they smuggled in a keg they're supposed to buy our keg I don't know how they smuggled in a keg they're supposed to buy our keg yeah exactly hey guys I'm getting married let's go see Morbius anything with Leto in it

I want to see that Nick Cage one where he plays himself because I'm getting married and this is my last night of freedom. I've been told no more Nicolas Cage now that we're married. Alpha,

data, cineplex. I kept calling him, you said frat party, I kept calling it a bachelor party. Yeah. Still, you know,

it's just a bunch of guys letting loose. Yeah, it's true. Blowing off some steam. Have you ever been in a theater when somebody's very obviously drunk

and you kind of are trying to get them, you know, you're shut up, shut up, kind of, and it's not affecting them because they're wasted? Has this ever happened to anybody else? Like in a cinema? Like watching films? Yeah. I've never told anyone. No? I don't think so especially a drunk

person i don't know they're gonna fight me and win and while i'm trying to get them to pay attention to the subplot it's very well done yeah i don't want to miss you to miss it just because you're you're wasted you know what i'll write it down on a piece of paper you can see it in the morning when you wake up. Well, and, you know, a lot of people, the thing to do is to get stoned and then go to a movie. Right. Oh, yeah. Nothing beats it.

This is my bong sound. Being drunk in a movie sounds horrible. It does. You'd have to get up to go pee a lot of times, miss a lot of the plot. I don't know. Maybe it was just because I don don't know he got kicked out of a bar and he needs somewhere else warm hang out i need someplace with sticky floors um this next one comes from zach from logan utah i was at my local Walmart yesterday and saw two college-age girls

heading towards the checkout stand. One of them pointed to what the other had in her hand and asked, why are you getting that? To which she responded, I don't know. I just feel like I always find myself needing a glow stick. Depends on your culture but uh yes my people i mean is there anything better than snapping one of those

so satisfying and then but that it's fleeting i mean i guess if you also like the glowing yeah dave's just cracking glow sticks and throwing them over his shoulder cracking them throwing them away well we know exactly where the garbage can is I'm up to 20 sticks a day like a nuclear waste basket also equally fun is I'm sure Charlie,

have you ever taken your daughter or Dave where they are selling crappy glowing things in your kid? Like, like I got Dave. Yeah. Buy me that. Buy me that weird spinning wand. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. They really, boy, they know what they're doing that was yeah because then you're sitting at peppa pig live and every fifth kid has one of these and every the other four are like well why don't i get one of those yeah they're so visible yeah why don't they sell those at movie theaters? Big foam hand. They did have, like, at the baseball park this year,

they have, like, foam, like, bear masks. Like, instead of a hand, like, it goes over the kid's head and it's got eye holes. Wow. Yeah. It's a pretty good these days. The thing that the things that happen each generation where you're just like, how did this not happen before? Like how we just get around this, like,

you know how high fives were invented? Like what? 10 years before we were born 20 years before we were born. Sure. And then, and then now it's the first thing that every baby learns how to do. And you're like, how are high fives 50 years old? And then, uh, like now the way kids do the, I mean, I'm acting it out, but it won't be the little heart with their hands. That's like now what every kid like says goodbye with or does it like how did

nobody do that before before 2020 i think if you look at on old cave paintings you can see yeah people are dabbing yeah they're doing the dougie uh but speaking of the big what's the thing they put on their head like the foam the foam bear it's a bear oh okay yeah when i went to mr bean live the kids all had foam turkeys on their head um this last one is from colin from phoenix arizona i was at a used book and record store looking at some cheap vinyl albums when I overheard a customer say to the employee working at the checkout desk, finally, something good came from OJ Simpson.

What? I don't know. Like an album of the OJs? I have no idea. Oh, sure. If I did it, the album? The final album. Finally.

If I did it, the remix? Something good from Ojemma Simpson. I got to take a picture of this. She was an accessory to murder. Nice. In addition to overheards that are written, and we also accept your phone calls. If you want to call us, our phone number is 1-844-779-7631.

That's one. Ugh. Spy pod one. Like these people here. Hi, Dave Graham, Impossible Guest. This is Skylar from Anchorage, Alaska. I am calling in with an overheard. I'm a cook in an early childhood education center, so like infant through preschool.

In one of the rooms, I just made chili for lunch today. In one of the rooms. So I bring out a bowl full of the soup, and then the teachers serve it in individual portions for the kids. The older toddlers, who are like three-year-olds, they were served chili on a

plate. This is the wildest thing I've seen in a long time. Alright, off I go. That's funny for a number of reasons. You're still asking for trouble. First of all, you're feeding... I can't...

Imagine my kids allowing me to feed them chili. But if all their friends are doing it, they're like, yeah, I want it on the chili. Yeah. Like when you go to a Peppa Pig concert, everybody's eating chili. Everybody wants the foam chili. But Skylar would just call again, and this being the mind-blowing event. But it was clearly like it had just happened like she called you guys like you would call a family member in an emergency like it was like

saw the chili on the plate was like those are not the dimensions for serving chili i gotta call graham and dave oh man also referred to the chili as soup at one point yeah that's right it was chili that was soup yeah your story's checking out less and less didn't you once not get allowed uh your didn't your mom want to give you chili yeah and they took it away at airports took it away yeah they thought it was soup and i was arguing that it was more of a solid and then they brought they literally brought in a second person and said what do you think is chili a soup or a solid she was really thinking about it too she was like hmm i mean and then it's just up to whatever kind of chili she's had in her life and she's like yeah i think it's a liquid and i was like what

kind of shitty chili have you been eating that it's just a liquid but they didn't bring in ty domey to put a fork in it and test it out they didn't no he was busy that night next phone call hey dave graham and i'm gonna guess canadian entertainer i've never heard of. I'm calling in with an over kid. My daughter is six years old, and she's at that age where she's starting to pick up a lot of old pop culture references that are in the stuff that she watches, but she doesn't really know what they are or where they came from. So lately, one of her things is she's been going around going, oh, thank you very much to everything. Oh oh thank you very much to everything oh thank you very much um but she's not interested in knowing where it's from uh and she was saying that the other day and her her older brother heard her and said uh who said that i feel like there's somebody who said that all the time and i go elvis and right after my daughter chimes in justin from youtube and he goes oh right it was justin from youtube so um i guess it wasn't elvis

it was justin from you it was justin from youtube yeah thank you very much Justin lives I honestly thought I was going to be Uncle Jesse from Full House oh yeah yeah what did he say he said have mercy

have mercy but he did a bit of an Elvis thing yeah oh yeah he always did Elvis like that was his big thing he had a few big things

yeah that's true he played music with the Rippers he had nice hair he didn't want people to touch his hair he wanted people to have mercy but all of that is elvis derivative yeah i'll just add hair elvis played music with jesse the rippers at the splash club it's funny too that his room that he lived in had posters all over the wall. He was an adult man who stuck up posters in his room. Well, we miss him. Here's your final phone call.

Hey, Dave and Graham, it's Dave from Pennsylvania. I was just walking into my local Walmart and there were a group of teenagers behind me and one of them said to the group, I don't know what you guys are so worried about. They're powerless against us. We have the orb.

That was all I heard. Anyway, thanks. Don't worry, guys. I know there's been a lot of chatter on our Dungeons & Dragons feed, but I've got the orb now, so it's fine. This wasn't Dungeons & Dragons. I but I've got the orb now, so it's fine. This wasn't Dungeons & Dragons.

I think this was a lot more serious. This was like international politics. Don't worry about Russia. We've got the orb. That's the second caller to refer to their local Walmart. Like, it's kind of a local Walmart. Yeah, yeah. This isn't one of those big corporate Walmarts you're used to.

This is the mom and big corporate Walmarts you're used to. This is the mom and pop. Old man. I think it's sad when like Amazon moves into the neighborhood and starts putting Walmart out of the business. Um, well, I think this brings us to the end of this here podcast. Uh, Charlie,
